I'm like, okay, I get it.
(07:11):
What's been going on with youman?
It's been crazy man, let's see.
So this last weekend golftournament golf is such a crazy
sport, man.
I mean, I know you don't golf,but it is just the most
frustrating.
And people that are out there,they get this like golf bug,
that you'll you get it.
Like all the golfers out thereare like, no, we know what
you're talking about, but it'shere's the thing.
(07:33):
First, we first day of thetournament.
It's a two day tournament.
We get out there.
The format of the tournament iswe do a um, we do a scramble.
On the first part for golfersthat know that it's like, just,
you know, kind of hit the ball,pick a spot and hit the ball.
Anyways, the next section isalternate shot.
We blow up two, three holes.
(07:57):
On the alternate shot I'mtalking about, we took ourselves
out of the tournament.
We were, we were literally, Ithink, nine strokes away from
the next person in our flight.
It was terrible, man, we werejust, it was a terrible.
So then the second day, boom, wecome out here to my home course
.
It's aggregate, which meansevery shot counts.
You don't like keep, count, youjust keep counting.
(08:18):
Like you can like go out ofbounds, keep, you got to keep
counting.
You can get 100, doesn't matter, but aggregate on one side.
And then the other one was justbest ball.
So one of the two of our shots,dude, we went on a rampage.
Seven holes in a row, birdieson the aggregate, which was like
insane.
And every golfer's out therelike whoa, like it is crazy.
(08:39):
We finished the second day,we're five shots in front of
everybody in our flight.
But we the second day, we'refive shots in front of everybody
in our flight but we crappedourself the first day, so we
ended up four behind.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I love that when you're, when you're sitting, I'm
sitting there watching you andI'm like yeah, we were a big
bucket of suck.
The first it was yeah, it'ssuck.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And then you had your happy gilmore moment yeah, my
face was definitely on the sideof that suck bucket and we were
like it was literally threeholes, like the whole day was
pretty decent, but three holes.
We just like it was terrible,and so anyways, but yeah, and we
did this golf tournament thisweekend.
(09:15):
We had some fun.
It was, you know, all thatstuff's good, but you know what
else happened during that golftournament.
That was is crazy.
So I don't know if you youmight have got, you might have
participated in this too.
So we're all sitting around,we're done with the tournament.
We're sitting there, blah, blah, blah.
All of our phones Likeeverybody had a phone in the
place, like bing, bing, bing,bing, bing.
We're like you think it's likea Zamber alert or nothing.
(09:39):
No, we all get this message andit says've had this ticket that
we haven't paid and that makeyou scam ass ticket thing.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, I got that too.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
So everybody, like all of us, we're all sitting
next to each other.
All of us get the exact samefishing thing that we hadn't
paid a ticket, and now we're in.
Interest rates are going to goup and you're going to.
It's going to cost you thismuch more money, and you better
call us at this.
Speaker 2 (10:06):

I'm like hey, did anybody elseget this phishing scam ticket
thing?
And like everybody but one guyin there, like, raise their hand
.
They're like, yeah, I just gotit too.
Like how do they do?
Like, how do they think they'regoing to make money off of this

This is crazy, because peopleactually call.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I mean sometimes you get these old people and they
just call.
They have no idea.
They're like, wait a minute,I'm going to get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So I'm thinking to myself.
I'm like old people are theones that they're really like,
the people that don't they thinkthat this is real, it's just
like every person in the clubwas like, no, this is, this is
bullshit.
Or if somebody just got theirass in trouble, they'll be like,
yeah, maybe, maybe, that was me, but it happens and I know what
happens for real because, likemy father-in-law, you know, he
(10:56):
got this call one time that hegot this like thing saying like
your, your, your grandson is ina jail and he needs you to put
up bail and all this stuff.
And they called his grandsonlike by his name.
He was like Cameron's in jailand so he was like it was.
They were, they knew all thekey things to tell him.
(11:17):
My father-in-law was likedriving down to the bank, he was
at the teller when his daughterone of his daughters finally
was like no, no, no, no, no.
You know, did you call cameron?
Like call, verify cameron, youknow, is this real?
if he's getting anything he'dalready withdrew the money he
already withdrew the money, likeI was, like what I was like, oh
(11:39):
my gosh, I mean it.
Just it breaks your heart tolike hear these, like these
people that are scamming, theseold people that don't know
better.
But uh, you know, I mean thisguy is such a good guy Like he's
just a genuine good guy that hewas like I'm going to help.
He didn't do anything for hisfamily.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Could you imagine?
I mean, look at that, that'smillions of robo calls, right,
millions, millions of that.
And how many people actuallyanswer that thing?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's bullshit out there, people.
I'm going to tell you right nowIf it sounds like bullshit, it
is bullshit.
It smells like, tastes likeit's bullshit.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Especially, they're not going to text message you.
They owe you, you owe money.
They're sending you a damncertified letter.
Your ass is going to jail.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Everybody, like the last one that was.
That was like going crazy, wasthe toll, toll, right, you know,
booth that didn't work so well,so they had to switch it up now
yeah, the turnpike one.
You owe you your back, oh andall that bullshit, but dude it
was.
It was crazy just to be sittingthere and then all these phones
go off at once and it's,everybody just got the same
exact text and I'm like this isstupid, you're stupid, but
(12:44):
anyways, it's pretty good.
Yeah, anyways, other than thatman, I'm getting ready to go
over to transfer it over toNewark.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You're going to be officially in Newark.
Flight attendant.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm going to officially go to Newark.
Man, I can't Like the armpit ofthe world.
Here I come, you know, it'slike I'm thinking to myself what
have I gotten myself into?
Another bucket of suck?
It could be suck especially.
I mean it gets to be suck quickover there too.
I'm interested to see what youhold.
(13:16):
Yeah, yeah, that's one thingthat I wanted to talk about.
Like you know, seniority inflight attendants is like that's
everything, and it doesn'tmatter if you're a flight
attendant or a pilot or whatever.
Any seniority, or a gate agentor whatever.
Seniority in the airlinebusiness is our gold right and
so I mean we live and breathe byour seniority and like why I'm
(13:38):
transferring over to Clevelandso people understand this, like
there's like 350 so flightattendants here in cleveland and
I'm like 46, 47 in the base,which is very senior, that's,
that's what that would be yeahfor our base it's very senior
base but our flying that we doout of here it's just so limited
that we can't like I can't getthe days off that I want.
(14:02):
I I can't get the trips that Iwant, and it's like you're doing
Orlando this week and month,I'm doing Orlando 2 this month,
other days, whatever.
It's like man, it's been sohard and I can't get the days I
want off.
So I got so frustrated.
I got to go over to Newarkbecause my senior over there
means something and, to put itin perspective, it's like newark
(14:27):
has 6 000 flight attendants.
I'm going to be 640 in the baseover there.
I mean that is huge, that'shuge and like the amount of
flying that they have there.
So out of the 6 000 flightattendants, you would think what
?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
like a thousand of them, maybe you're in reserve
well, most people don'tunderstand, um, when we bid our
lines for the month differentbases it's like a small book,
right?
I mean it's a book of pairingsand lines and all this shit and
you don't know what you're goingto hold.
You've got to figure out whatyou can hold.
You know position biddingthere's a whole lot of stuff
(15:01):
that goes on just to making yourmonthly bid.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Dude, there's a lot of stuff that goes on just to
making your monthly bid.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dude, there's a lot of education that has to happen
in order to understand the bit.
You can screw that up big time,even going to new work.
You could jack that up big time.
Oh yeah, you could.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You could be picking a line that nobody wants I
didn't even know where to startover there, right.
So, like my big deal, my bigthing is like, okay, I want I'm
going over there early to likeget rid of my trips because in
our airline we can go down tozero flying.
So I want to get rid of mytrips so I can come back here in
Cleveland and fly on the daysthat I want to fly on, because
(15:34):
somebody out there is creatingthese schedules and flying that
I can't do here in Cleveland.
So because of that, I'm goingover there and I can do pretty
much wherever I'm going becauseI'm senior daddy over there.
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I mean that's what we call, even as junior flight
attendants, is line chasing.
Yeah, yeah, I mean they chaselines and it's for better
schedules, and that's what youdo.
I mean, cleveland, we don'thave good lines, we don't?
I mean they suck.
You have a certain level ofturns and then that's it, and
after that it just falls off theshelf.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well, there's no glamour flying here in Cleveland
, like you know, like we don'thave destinations where, like
everybody's just like, oh mygoodness, I've got to go there,
man, let me head, I mean we gotthings like Tijuana.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Tijuana would be a good place.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I used to have a buddy when I was in the Air
Force and we had this runningline going all the time when she
got too crazy.
We would just look at eachother and we'd say this line
We'd be like Tijuana, Tijuana,take your gramatine orgy to
Tijuana and we would just laughYou're killing me, man.
(16:44):
I remember that from when I was19 years old and we'd do this
stuff and my man and my man'sout still out there.
He'd be like he's, he's gonnabe like what.
I've never heard that before.
There's only one guy I knowthat says that.

Speaker 2 (16:59):

What's that one?
That guy that does all thosevoices with it?
Speaker 1 (17:06):

talks.
I mean when you're, when theshit's getting crazy in the
military and you're just likeyou gotta like come back to

he had two long braids going allthe way down to his butt that's
what I love about our job.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It was people watching is the funniest,
funniest thing right, it wasjust the most craziest.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Like you're like, this is your flying outfit.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Dude, I had a guy walk on with a tail coming out
of his rear end.
Oh no, a tail, a tail.
I'm not kidding you, it wasorange and white.
He had a tail coming out?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Did he tell you who he was identifying as?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
He told me that he identified as a fox.
As a fox, yeah, I said you did,and he goes, yeah, and I said
well, we don't allow those onthe plane, that's right.
He goes what?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
and I said but foxes are not allowed on the box.
We don't.
There's this very specific listof animals that can come on the
plane, and a fox isn't.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Fox is not one of them, no, but and I mean joking
around, but seriously he didn'thave a tail coming out of his
backside and he was.
He was grabbing this thing andcurling around like he's going
to go to sleep with this thing.
I mean it was crazy.
We get some of the craziestpeople had a woman in Vegas.
They brought her down in awheelchair.
(22:51):
Sean had the biggest fake boobsI've ever seen, dude, they were
huge.
I think we talked about that.
We did the big boobs I've everseen, dude, they were huge.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I think we talked about that.
We did.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It was crazy.
I mean some of the crazy peoplethat we've seen on the planes.
I mean it's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, I mean we would love to post these pictures.
We're not going to post thispicture and stuff because that's
not our intention to you know.
But from our description yougot a very good description of
this, like very weird characterand very pleasant, very didn't
like didn't harm a flea on theflight, didn't actually cause
anything, you know, no problemsor anything like that.
(23:28):
But there wasn't, there wasn'tno one on that plane that was
that was in visual contact withthis guy.
That wasn't like their eyesweren't really big.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, it's one of the best parts of this job, though,
is actually people watching.
Yeah, I mean you do.
I mean you'll spend hours in aterminal, sometimes delayed, and
all you do is you just watchpeople as they pass by and
there's outrageous people, andthey come on the planes every
day too.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Maybe this should be called the freak in the seat
episode.
Like freak in the Freak in theSeat episode.
Like Freak in the Seat, likethe Jack in the Box.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
He was a freak, anyways, but you know you were
talking about an Orlando flightwith the Make-A-Wish and the
Wishes Can Happen program.
Yeah, this past week I've beenflying back and forth and I
absolutely love those flightsbecause we already we had a
couple of families come on.
And you know, a lot of times Isaid this so many times that you
(24:25):
know you'll have bad days andthen things you know it gets
kind of tough.
But then you see these families, they come on with these kids
and they're so excited.
I mean they're all they want todo.
They want to come down, theywant to go in the cockpit.
That you know they want us totake some pictures and and
they're going through so much intheir lives and you're looking
at them and they're having thebest time.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, those make a wish.
Flights are so fun.
I mean, like for the most part.
I mean I've had the experienceof you know you get the it's
kind of like a 50-50 thing right.
They're normally either they'reterminal Right or they're the
opposite, where they've justbeat cancer.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, you know things like that.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
And they make wishes, granting them their you know
the trip for congratulating themfor beating cancer.
It is a phenomenal organization, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
The Wishes can happen .
It's a nonprofit organization.
It's based in North Canton,ohio.
It's dedicated to granting thewishes for children and young
adults, ages from 3 to 21, whohave been diagnosed with a
life-threatening illness.
Since its founding in 1982, theorganization has fulfilled over
1,600 wishes Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah 1,600.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And we get to be part of these.
I mean, I do this, I do Orlandoall the time and just this.
Like I said, this past week twofamilies came on board and they
had a brother and a sister inone, and then another family
they had their whole familyinvolved and it's so cool to get
these pictures in the cockpitand they're so excited to do
(26:05):
that, but it does.
Let me tell you somethingWhenever you think that your
life is not exactly what youwant it to be, be really happy,
be fortunate Because, let metell you something, want it to
be really happy.
Be fortunate Because, let metell you something every single
day, the greatest thing that youhave is the ability to get up
and change whatever that is.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, be blessed.
I mean feel blessed.
The impact that I know that wedo on these families to, like
you know, make this experienceso special for them, and all
this stuff, with all thedifferent things that we do with
them, is, uh, you know, it's ablessing that we get to get to
see it.
First of all, you know people,people are going through some
(26:47):
crazy stuff and I just cannotimagine having my child and I
don't have any kids but to havemy child in a situation where
you're you feel so, um, don'thave the power to do anything.
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
No, I mean it's.
It's sad, yeah, Cause you don'thave any control at all.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Right, but I mean, I mean, but most of the time when
we see these families like it,it's, it's also uh, it's also a
positive thing, where it's thereward after this battle that
they've been through, or it'sthis thing they want to do
before they leave.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, it is.
But talking about travel though, when you fly and you guys go
on your vacations, do you goearly?
Go early, yeah, to the plane.
I mean, do you go early to getto the airport?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay Now you're touching on a subject that's
very dear to me that my wifeoverpacks like a sum of bitch.
She's bringing body bag afterbody bag, like I mean these bags
that you can't imagine, likeyou don't even understand.
(27:59):
Like to see how many bags shebrings for a trip.
Like we're getting ready to goon this vacation right now.
We will bring like she she willhave, like we're going to be
gone for 10 days.
She'll have three large bagsthat are estimate estimate do
you go early?
but we get there early becausewe got to take care of these
(28:20):
bags.
Like we get there so earlybecause I gotta check these bags
.
I gotta drop her off.
We gotta get these own you knowdone.
I gotta go park the car.
I gotta come back to theairport.
We gotta get through security.
Like I gotta get there early,there way.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Okay, do you always have extra time at the gate?
Yeah, okay, I never understandthis.
I seen this the other day.
Went into the airport and thesecurity line every once in a
while you walk in there, damn,security line is back up all the
way through the terminal and Inever understand this.
And you see this all the time.
(28:59):
Families are just pissed becausethey're standing there and
they're wondering if they'regoing to make their flight.
And you guys listen, when youbook these flights, sometimes
you book them in a year inadvance, sometimes six months,
three months, whatever you do inyour vacation, for God's sakes,
get there early, just get thereearly, because you're going to
start the whole vacation beingpissed at each other.
(29:20):
I mean, I see this every well,you know, probably every few
days.
When I walk in and you seethese families, they're just
completely pissed off because,okay, somebody has a bunch of
bags, right, you got to checkthem.
Or somebody forgot something,you had to go get it.
Somebody was too slow leavingthe house, didn't get up, didn't
(29:42):
take a shower very fast,whatever it is, but that person
is getting yelled at somewhere.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, I mean the airlines are cracking down on
this too.
Like all of them, a lot of theairlines that are adjusting
their check-in rules because itused to be like 30 minutes to be
able to check a bag, to get itmake it on the plane that you're
flying on in order to get to.
You know you're talking 30minutes from the time at the
front of the airport they'rereceiving the bag.
Now they've got to get the bagfrom the front of the airport to
(30:12):
the plane and you have to getthrough security and that's so
ludicrous.
So, like, a lot of the airlinesare backing them now to 45
minutes, so it's a hard45-minute cutoff.
So, like, if you don't haveyour bags there checked in
before 45 minutes, they're notletting you on a plane.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
And make sure that you get the right stuff.
Check with TSA before you packthat shit in your bag, because
you're going to get mad if youget your cologne or something
and they're going to confiscateyour cologne and tell you to
throw it away.
But, anyway, like I said, thebiggest thing is when you see
these families.
They get so mad and yourvacation is starting off all in
the wrong way.
So, like I said, just make surethat you get there early so you
(30:49):
get through security and you'resitting at the gate.
You know you're there 45minutes to an hour before that
plane leaves and everybody'srelaxed.
Relaxed and started off thatway, because I see this every
single day.
There's people that are pissedoff because there's a good
chance now you're not going tomake your flight.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah but you know whose fault it is right, Dad's?
No, it's ours.
The flight attendants.
Every time we get on board,they're mad at us, Like your
company did this.
They left without us.
We hate.
Like your company, did thisblah blah blah, you know we hate
you, like you don't even knowme.
Yeah, I'm big fun right here.
Like don't come at me like that.
(31:26):
Like people come on the planeall the time, like that at us
and we're like really, Like the10 people before you they've
been dicks, but we're not.
But you know how many times wewere standing at the door and
some guy or woman the name of itis dicks.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
But we're not.
But you know how many times wewere standing at the door and
some guy or woman, the wholefamily runs up.
They're all sweating.
At the last minute.
Right, you know, they're stuckin center seats, they're
sweating, they can't breathe andthey're trying to pack their
shit in overhead bins.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, I'm not sitting together.
Can you help me why?
You know I don't.
And little Joey, he's sittingfour rows from me.
I have to sit by him.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Right All because you didn't want to get there early.
And then you're stuck in amiddle seat sweating for five
hours.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, man, just plan accordingly.
Plan accordingly, man.
We tell you this all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
But you know, I just had to touch on it again because
I see it all the time in theairport, Don't?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
beat up on your flight attendants because of it,
either the airport don't beatup on your flight attendants
because of it either.
Because I mean, if you'rehaving a bad day, believe me
most 99.9 percent of everyflight attendant out there is
going to be like ready to helpyou.
We want to, like get you calmeddown, get you a glass of water.
You know you've been running tothe gate.
You know, we know tensions andemotions have been elevated and
(32:35):
now you got to sit in a seat andyou're pissed off at the
company because you did somepoor planning.
You know, like, come on, man.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You're talking about helping flight attendants out.
So I was flying with this girl,one of our friends, the other
day and it was funny shit.
You know who, she is Right andand so she was telling me she
was like, she's like Gary.
I went to the doctor about myheart and I said, yeah, well,
what do you say?
She goes.
I was pissed and I said, well,why are you mad?
And she goes.
(33:05):
Well, he had sent me a reportback to the house and she goes.
I was reading the report and itsaid at the end of the report
that I was grossly non-focal.
Grossly non-focal, grosslynon-focal, grossly non-focal.
And she was so mad.
She was like you know that sonof a bitch.
He was sitting there basicallytelling me that I was asking too
(33:27):
many damn questions and Iwasn't, you know, wasn't
listening to him, wasn't payingattention.
So I was just playing alongwith it and I was like, really,
and she goes, yeah, she goes.
I was mad, she goes.
I was mad, she goes.
I was sitting there reading thisand I was like I was going to
give me a piece of my mind and Isaid, well, you know what that
means, don't you?
And she goes no, what does thatmean?
And I said, well, that meansyou don't shut your ass up
whenever you're sitting theretrying to talk.
(33:48):
And she goes see, that's why Isaid do you know what actually
that means?
And she goes it means that Iwas talking too much.
And I said, no, grosslynon-focal means when you come in
(34:11):
, it's a medical term that whenthey do a neurological
evaluation it's a quickneurological evaluation that the
doctor says that he doesn'tfind that there's anything wrong
.
However, now you want to goback in and write this thing
across your face that saysyou're grossly non-focal and
prove that he wasn't right.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, she's a dingbat fly tenant.
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I love her man.
Yeah, she's a dingbat flytenant, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
She's a little cray cray, like like half.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
She could go back in and prove that her ass is crazy.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
He just said that you're a normal and now you're
going to go prove that you're anutball.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
That's right, but that's, that's fly tenants, man,
they get a little crazy aboutthings, a little out of hand at
certain times and take thingsout of context, right.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yeah, but you know what I told her to do.
Sean what's?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
that.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Download ChatGBT, because if your ass does not
know what it is, chatgbt doesRight, right, right.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You can ask them questions If you want somebody
to talk to and they'll be ableto answer some questions.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Or before you go in the doctor's office with the
mask on.
It says you're grosslynon-focal, yeah yeah, there's
also before chat, gpt.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Don't forget our buddy Google, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Yeah, google can help you out too.
Google will know what you'retalking about.
Know what you're talking about.
Hey, did you see that?
Did you see that big asstornado down in texas?
No, huge, it was like 2.2 mileswide.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I think it's like the largest tornado um in in texas
history dude, have you, have youever, like, had an experience
any personal tornado situations?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
no, yeah I had a funnel cloud.
Um, I got a picture actually ofa funnel cloud.
It was probably about three orfour years ago, right in front
of my house.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Right, I think I was taking pictures of the same
funnel cloud from over, fromlike G lives about like as a
crow flies about a couple milesright down the road, yep, and
that funnel cloud came throughpast my house and it was like
going towards G's house and Ithought that thing is going to
drop right down on G Like that.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It was like I was like that is in his neighborhood
, right now and my ass waslooking at it, but this tornado
was freaking huge.
It reminded me of that.
Remember the movie Twister?
Yeah, it was huge.
I mean, I've seen pictures ofthis and I'm looking at this.
And then I seen this otherpicture.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
What's the other picture?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
It said what not to do during a storm.
Right, okay, this guy was.
He had a lawn chair and he wassitting on top of his roof and
they they took a picture of himwatching the storm from the top
of his roof.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
He needed a good view .
He wanted a front seat view ofthe.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Sean, he wanted to go to Oz.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I think he was trying to go to Oz, that's for sure,
because I mean, that is not theplace you go when you're here or
feel, or see a tornado.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I was looking at that thing and I thought forget
about the tornado.
If you lean back, you're a damntumbleweed.
That's right, you're coming offthat roof.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Dude Like yeah, yeah you, the roof is coming off, the
house is coming with you,behind you, everything like he
might have.
You know he could.
He might have been suicidal,who knows?
Right, it was freaking crazylike I mean, why would you ever
put yourself on top of a roofand there's a tornado that like
within visual contact?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I just love that.
Here it is.
They're looking at this hugeass, tornadoes 2.2 miles wide,
and some guy is like well, Iwant to first, I want to, I want
a first class seat.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
And he didn't even have like a camera or anything.
He was just sitting up therewatching.
He was just sitting up therewatching it.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Like what the fuck, are your your problem?
Hey, let's take a picture of ofeddie.
As eddie goes freaking, flyingaway, could you imagine the next
picture of him getting suckedup in?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
some damn tornado dude man.
I just see the dude like likefloating through the air with
lawn chair and he's like he'ssitting there vaping smoking
some weed.
He's gotta be, but he's gottabe hot.
The guy's got to be likesomething's wrong with him they
got some dumb ass people.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I mean, we watch a lot of these stupid videos.
You know we're going to do itWhenever we start and we
actually start doing video.
We got to start getting some ofthese videos on there Because
they had this woman.
She was doing one of those Zoomcourt camps, right, she was
supposed to be in court, right?
You know what she was doing,what she was making a peanut
(38:37):
butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Oh, she was taking the whole thing serious.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
The judge is like stop.
And she's like what?
And he goes what are you doing?
I'm making peanut butter andjelly sandwich On a Zoom, On a
Zoom.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Dude.
What was it?
Was it Bebe's kids?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
You remember Bebe's kids?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
That's what it reminded me of this is like Bebe
was like, I got to make some.
I got to make peanut butterjelly.
Yo, I got to get this kid offschool too.
Keep talking, I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
He started breaking this down, was looking there
like you got a damn robe on.
You know you got a t-shirt.
He goes this is court.
This is still court, eventhough it's Zoom and she's like
she's holding the peanut butterand jelly.
She's like, okay, it's fine, Igot a t-shirt on.
He was like, okay, turn around,click, just clicked her off.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Wow, yeah, come on.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
You got to love it.
I mean, you have to love thesevideos.
But hey, listen, we got to talkabout a little airline stuff
and unfortunately it's notanything that we normally like
to talk about.
Yeah, and it just happenedyesterday.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah, it was that 787 Dreamliner crashed in India.
Yeah, that is like horrific man.
That was.
That is like horrific man.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
That's one of the things.
One of the things I know we wecover it and um and we talk
about it, but that's one ofthose things we airline people
don't like talking about.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Here's my like.
This is my, uh, my view of thewhole thing.
I, my view of the whole thing.
I'm getting ready to transferto Newark and I'm getting ready
to fly that plane.
That's the plane that I waslike.
I'm sitting there going throughmy schedule trying to like, hey
, I want to go fly theDreamliner.
It's a fantastic plane.
I don't know if anybody, if youdon't know what a Dreamliner is
787, I mean it has like systemson a plane where they've got
(40:32):
humidification systems in theplanes, got windows that you
touch and then they goelectronically dark and stuff.
I mean they got some cool stuff.
I mean the dreamliner is areally nice, very comfortable
for passengers and crew to uhfly on.
And this is the first majoraccident of this airline and or
this airplane and, uh, it'sgoing to be very interesting to
(40:53):
find out what happened thisthing, because I was like
looking at the video of somebodyactually got the video of it
crashing.
There's always a cameraeverywhere, so it's already on
the news and all I could thinkof is one.
It looked like it had liftproblems.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, right, I mean, it literally looked like the
bottom fell out.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah, when you figure out like okay, what causes a
plane of this size to not havelift, you know you start
thinking about like likeairspeed Is there?
Did they have enough airspeed?
Did they have their the weightand balance right before they
took off?
Like maybe it was just too dangheavy, right?
You know like there's all kindsof crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I mean all that comes out and you're absolutely right
, and that's what I was lookingat too.
I mean from flying, you know,when it's heavy and it's not
lifting, you know.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yeah, I mean I would never want to be in that
situation where we're taking offand the plane's just not
getting up in the air.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
We get asked a lot of .
We don't want to speculate onthat.
I mean prayers go out to thefamily everybody that's involved
.
But you know the one thing thata lot of people ask us.
They ask us you know aboutaccidents and incidents and when
do things happen right?
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah, I mean they're always like wanting our opinion
about you know, what do youthink happened here or what you
know.
I mean, obviously they want totalk to pilots first.
You know, what do you thinkhappened here or what you know?
I mean, obviously they want totalk to pilots first, you know.
But I mean the flight crew, theflight attendants, stuff, we,
we get a lot of people asking uswell, you know what do, what do
we think about this and stuff.
Because I mean we've seen a lotof shit, right, I mean we've
been around 30 and I'm 35 andyou're 38 and we're like.
(42:32):
We're like we're.
We, we got experience.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
No, and these stats are true.
I mean you're looking at 53percent of um.
These incidents happen duringlanding.
Yeah, okay, 53 of them and 8.5percent during takeoff.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, you know like, I mean the most critical point
of, uh um, of flight is thattakeoff and landing right.
And I mean that's why you'regetting your briefing, that's
why you know we take this soserious.
Like the flight attendantsaren't up in the aisles during
takeoff and landing, I meanbecause that's the critical
state of flight.
Once you get up and cruising,you know, then we have time to
(43:12):
you know business.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Right and exactly what Sean was saying.
And the reason why is exactlywith this Dreamliner is the
reason for takeoff is you havevery limited time to react.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I mean, when you see this, if you watch this video,
you're going to see the distancefrom the ground to the aircraft
and you can see that there'snot a lot of time.
And that's why they say one ofthe most critical is the takeoff
, because if something does gowrong, you don't have a lot of
time to correct it.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
No, I mean, you know, like that's how bad like
turbulence too is, so dangeroustoo, like turbulence down the
lower you are and more turbulent, you know, if you have, you
know, like microbursts andthings like that that happen,
turbulence, I mean it can bevery dangerous.
And so you know, we're tryingnot trying to speculate on what
what happened with this flightand all that stuff, what, what
(44:09):
can you know?
We don't know, everybody, it'sstill, it's still out for
investigation and stuff.
But our hearts go out to allthat were involved and all
that's been affected by this andall the families.
And we did just hear that oneperson survived right.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
One did survive.
So one person.
I guess the plane was on fireand this person had jumped out
and I mean that's a miracle.
I mean how that?
I mean you know, just thatstory alone is going to be
amazing, yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I mean those, those, those type of accidents and
stuff you'd like.
It blows my mind when I hearabout people walking away from
them.
It reminds me of like the SiouxCity incident with the plane
you know cartwheeling down therunway.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Right.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
That video and you know cartwheeling down the
runway that video and peoplewalked away from that.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Still strapped to their seats?
Yeah, it's like wow.
In the field.
They were in the field actually.
You know, when we talk aboutthings like that, even this guy
that survived this for the restof your life, I would be like
why?
I mean, you'd have to askyourself how did you survive
when everybody else died, andthat's the amazing part.
(45:20):
But you know, he was blessedand you can't say any more than
that.
And the rest of the people?
Like I said, prayers go out toeach and every one of them.
But this comes back to what wedo.
I mean, you know people ask usall the time we're not just
there to.
It's not just about servingCokes and snacks and stuff like
(45:40):
that Our job.
It's dangerous to take off andland.
That's what we tell people allthe time.
Pay attention, get yourheadphones off, you know, for
takeoff and landing especiallybecause those are two of the
most critical phases of flightJust take them off, take them
off for a minute and just payattention to what's going on,
because that part of it couldsave your life.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
You know people.
I think you also need to likebe a little bit more
situationally aware.
You know like you need to havethe ability to like the people
that are around you, too matter.
Like I mean where you're seatedat and where you're.
You know where your exit is andhow you're going to get there
if something happens.
Not that you want to focus andyou know or hyper focus on this
(46:23):
whole thing, but it's a goodreview to be able to like to say
, hey, you know how am I gettingoff this plane if something
happens or can I help somebody?
yes, or how, or who may have to.
I have to help, or who should I?
You, or who may have to get outof the way?
You know like there's all kindsof things that happen.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
You know, before we get out of here too, let's jump
and talk about the turbulencereal quick.
I don't want to.
I mean, you know, like I wassaying before, with airlines, I
don't like talking about a lotwith incidents and stuff like
that.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
You know what, Like, I just had this lady on the
board the other day in Orlandoflight and she was like you know
is it going to be turbulent?
Speaker 2 (47:06):
And I was like yes it's going to be turbulent.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
You know, I just got pre-fitted pilot and it's going
to be turbulent and she was likereally bad, or you know, like
she was like really freaking out, that I responded that way and
I was like I'm being honest withher.
But at the same time, you knowit's all about education people.
You need to have understandingof all these different types of
turbulence that are out there.
And I will tell you, as aflight attendant for many years,
like it's kind of like drivingyour car, like all the different
(47:36):
types of turbulence.
We could tell you what we're uh, how we're getting affected and
what it is that's beingaffecting us, because we've been
doing this for so long, andwhere we're at like dictates
those types of turbulence andand, gee, tell like, give us
some of like the list of, uh,different types of turbulence
that are out there the numberone.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Uh, turbulence is clear air turbulence.
When we talk about that one,that one's bad.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
This is the most lethal.
So every time you hear likethese airlines, like oh, they've
diverted here to go here, theydiverted all it's because clear
air turbulence no one can see it.
You can't see it, you don't uh,then you can't predict it.
You don't know when it'shappened split second for
whatever reason, and there's amillion different reasons why
(48:15):
that turbulence is there in thatspot at that time, but you
can't see it and you can'tpredict it.
And so that's when people areflying through the cabin and
hitting their heads in theceiling and we're doing those
sudden drops and you know thezero G's are happening.
You know like that's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Let me tell you and in clear air turbulence, cause
I've been in it it's probablyanywhere from 12 to 15 seconds
of the worst time of your life.
Yeah, and it's fast, andexactly what Sean was saying.
That's why we always tell youkeep your seatbelt on.
Trust me, keep your seatbelt onwhen you're sitting down, even
if it's loose.
(48:52):
Keep it on because if thathappens, anything that's not
strapped down is going up.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
Yeah, everything that's, nothing that's strapped
down, is going to be flying inthe air.
So just remember that.
I mean it doesn't matter whatyou have your cell phones, your
laptops, your CD players, yourheadphones, it doesn't matter
what it is, Everything's yourbags.
Everything's going to fly inthe air.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Right.
The next one is thermalturbulence Sean Thermal
turbulence yeah.
Yeah, it's on hot days.
Usually it's close to theground.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah, so the heat off the end, that's the dangerous,
like on landing.
So like you can get these likethe, especially on hotter days
and stuff like that, where youget those heat waves coming up
from the ground, the ground'ssuper hot, and you get that
especially like in, you know,like from the, you know
buildings and all that, thetarmacs and the roads and stuff
(49:46):
like that.
Depending on where it's at,that heat's rising.
You know.
You know when you step on afreaking road how hot it is, you
know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
And the other.
The other one is mechanicalMechanical turbulence.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Mechanical turbulence .
Speaker 2 (50:00):
Yeah, that's when your mountains and your
buildings and your trees, yeah,anytime the wind's flowing
around over the mountains,through areas around terrain,
man-made structures, you couldexperience what's called
mechanical turbulence.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
Yeah, and that comes in that.
So that's very.
You get those type ofturbulence when you approach the
city.
So again right back to the youknow takeoff and landing the
mechanical turbulence can be, uh, something that is affecting,
uh, your flight, but there'salso a mountain wave.
Denver is a good place whereyou're getting a lot of mountain
wave activity.
So the thermal winds and stuffthat are coming off the
(50:38):
mountains you're getting themlike further out on the planes
and stuff.
You get all this like mountainwave activity and stuff like
that of turbulence.
So, uh, there's that, there'sthat, and then there's wake and
turbid, wake turbulence, right,right, which is caused by other
aircraft usually if you're, ifyou're traveling behind um like
a larger plane yeah.
So like like we're following,like a smaller plane is
(51:01):
following a larger plane, andyou get too close to that.
The convective spinning, youknow, the wind coming off the
wings gets those vortices coming, and if we hit in that vortice
where it's like still too strongand we're too close to it,
that's when you get that reallylike the plane starts spinning.
Yeah, yeah, so like a rollright or left or one way or
(51:22):
another.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
That's definitely you know that was down in Denver
right.
Speaker 1 (51:28):
Oh, that can be anywhere.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
I mean that one incident was Denver that caused
it was wake turbulence.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Yeah, wake turbulence caused it.
Yeah, and the last one is wasDenver that caused it.
Was wake turbulence, yeah, waketurbulence caused it.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Yeah, and the last one is frontal turbulence.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, frontal turbulence.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
And yeah, I mean that's with a change in the air
mass properties and thetemperature.
It's usually from theprecipitation of thunderstorms
and squalls of you know weatherfronts basically, but there's so
many different types ofturbulence.
I mean we talk about those, butthe biggest thing from this is
(52:07):
keep your seatbelt on and thenjust pay attention, especially
in takeoff and landing, becauseit could be the difference of
your life if we're in anemergency situation.
Yeah, but anyway, let's wrap itup man, let's wrap it up.
Hey, listen.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
What's your quote of the day here?
Speaker 2 (52:26):
We had to leave it.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
we're a joke.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
What's that?
I just said we're a joke.
Speaker 1 (52:42):
We're a joke.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
Anyway, guys, listen, you know again, the incident
with the India flight justhappened.
So you know we just prayers goout to those families.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
Yeah, prayers, we hope everybody.

but we're going to find out whathappened with that plane and
hopefully deal with it.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
Yeah, you guys take care and we will see you back

vacation one time.
You know what midges are?
Yeah, yeah, those littleno-see-ums and shit like that
(05:42):

Yeah, so I never, ever hadno-see-um issues because I don't
live south, okay, and we get tothis island and we're out in
the Bahamas and it's on thislike remote island, very
exclusive, the whole nine yards,and we got no-see-ums, like I
mean, from my knees down, it waslike ostrich skin, I mean.
(06:02):
It was so many.
I had thousands of bites allover my legs Like they had
attacked us.
It was crazy and I was like youknow, it's like that sensation
where you like your skin, youjust want to like rip your skin

I'm like.
I told her, I was like I'mleaving tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
That's the same thing , I'm out of this.
It that's the same thing, I'mout of this.
It's like when I reach back onmy back, you know, you know,
when it gets to that point, youreach back on your back, it
feels like the bumps and scabsand everything.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, she's always like.
She's like.
She's like, yeah, you didn'tbelieve me, I had like she was
complaining early.
She's like oh, I'm getting bit,I'm getting bit.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And given I was freaking, no seeing meat, yeah,
but you, being black, you can'tsee him as much.
Dude, it wasn't I?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
think.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
On a white guy, you're going to see a bunch of
little bumps.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
How many bumps I had on my legs.
I was like how could I have notpossibly seen all these
thousands of bugs on me?
You know like it was crazy.
That's why they call them no,seeing, yeah, and she was like.
She was like, yeah, see, nowwhen you get it, oh, it's so bad
and you're leaving and you'regoing home.
You little wimpy.
I'm like, okay, I get it.
(07:11):
What's been going on with youman?
It's been crazy man, let's see.
So this last weekend golftournament golf is such a crazy
sport, man.
I mean, I know you don't golf,but it is just the most
frustrating.
And people that are out there,they get this like golf bug,
that you'll you get it.
Like all the golfers out thereare like, no, we know what
you're talking about, but it'shere's the thing.
(07:33):
First, we first day of thetournament.
It's a two day tournament.
We get out there.
The format of the tournament iswe do a um, we do a scramble.
On the first part for golfersthat know that it's like, just,
you know, kind of hit the ball,pick a spot and hit the ball.
Anyways, the next section isalternate shot.
We blow up two, three holes.
(07:57):
On the alternate shot I'mtalking about, we took ourselves
out of the tournament.
We were, we were literally, Ithink, nine strokes away from
the next person in our flight.
It was terrible, man, we werejust, it was a terrible.
So then the second day, boom, wecome out here to my home course
.
It's aggregate, which meansevery shot counts.
You don't like keep, count, youjust keep counting.
(08:18):
Like you can like go out ofbounds, keep, you got to keep
counting.
You can get 100, doesn't matter, but aggregate on one side.
And then the other one was justbest ball.
So one of the two of our shots,dude, we went on a rampage.
Seven holes in a row, birdieson the aggregate, which was like
insane.
And every golfer's out therelike whoa, like it is crazy.
(08:39):
We finished the second day,we're five shots in front of
everybody in our flight.
But we the second day, we'refive shots in front of everybody
in our flight but we crappedourself the first day, so we
ended up four behind.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I love that when you're, when you're sitting, I'm
sitting there watching you andI'm like yeah, we were a big
bucket of suck.
The first it was yeah, it'ssuck.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And then you had your happy gilmore moment yeah, my
face was definitely on the sideof that suck bucket and we were
like it was literally threeholes, like the whole day was
pretty decent, but three holes.
We just like it was terrible,and so anyways, but yeah, and we
did this golf tournament thisweekend.
(09:15):
We had some fun.
It was, you know, all thatstuff's good, but you know what
else happened during that golftournament.
That was is crazy.
So I don't know if you youmight have got, you might have
participated in this too.
So we're all sitting around,we're done with the tournament.
We're sitting there, blah, blah, blah.
All of our phones Likeeverybody had a phone in the
place, like bing, bing, bing,bing, bing.
We're like you think it's likea Zamber alert or nothing.
(09:39):
No, we all get this message andit says've had this ticket that
we haven't paid and that makeyou scam ass ticket thing.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Yeah, I got that too.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
So everybody, like all of us, we're all sitting
next to each other.
All of us get the exact samefishing thing that we hadn't
paid a ticket, and now we're in.
Interest rates are going to goup and you're going to.
It's going to cost you thismuch more money, and you better
call us at this.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Did you call?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Literally I raised, I'm like in the whole clubhouse
I'm like hey, did anybody elseget this phishing scam ticket
thing?
And like everybody but one guyin there, like, raise their hand
.
They're like, yeah, I just gotit too.
Like how do they do?
Like, how do they think they'regoing to make money off of this
?
This is crazy, because peopleactually call.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I mean sometimes you get these old people and they
just call.
They have no idea.
They're like, wait a minute,I'm going to get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
So I'm thinking to myself.
I'm like old people are theones that they're really like,
the people that don't they thinkthat this is real, it's just
like every person in the clubwas like, no, this is, this is
bullshit.
Or if somebody just got theirass in trouble, they'll be like,
yeah, maybe, maybe, that was me, but it happens and I know what
happens for real because, likemy father-in-law, you know, he
(10:56):
got this call one time that hegot this like thing saying like
your, your, your grandson is ina jail and he needs you to put
up bail and all this stuff.
And they called his grandsonlike by his name.
He was like Cameron's in jailand so he was like it was.
They were, they knew all thekey things to tell him.
(11:17):
My father-in-law was likedriving down to the bank, he was
at the teller when his daughterone of his daughters finally
was like no, no, no, no, no.
You know, did you call cameron?
Like call, verify cameron, youknow, is this real?
if he's getting anything he'dalready withdrew the money he
already withdrew the money, likeI was, like what I was like, oh
(11:39):
my gosh, I mean it.
Just it breaks your heart tolike hear these, like these
people that are scamming, theseold people that don't know
better.
But uh, you know, I mean thisguy is such a good guy Like he's
just a genuine good guy that hewas like I'm going to help.
He didn't do anything for hisfamily.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Could you imagine?
I mean, look at that, that'smillions of robo calls, right,
millions, millions of that.
And how many people actuallyanswer that thing?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's bullshit out there, people.
I'm going to tell you right nowIf it sounds like bullshit, it
is bullshit.
It smells like, tastes likeit's bullshit.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Especially, they're not going to text message you.
They owe you, you owe money.
They're sending you a damncertified letter.
Your ass is going to jail.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Everybody, like the last one that was.
That was like going crazy, wasthe toll, toll, right, you know,
booth that didn't work so well,so they had to switch it up now
yeah, the turnpike one.
You owe you your back, oh andall that bullshit, but dude it
was.
It was crazy just to be sittingthere and then all these phones
go off at once and it's,everybody just got the same
exact text and I'm like this isstupid, you're stupid, but
(12:44):
anyways, it's pretty good.
Yeah, anyways, other than thatman, I'm getting ready to go
over to transfer it over toNewark.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
You're going to be officially in Newark.
Flight attendant.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I'm going to officially go to Newark.
Man, I can't Like the armpit ofthe world.
Here I come, you know, it'slike I'm thinking to myself what
have I gotten myself into?
Another bucket of suck?
It could be suck especially.
I mean it gets to be suck quickover there too.
I'm interested to see what youhold.
(13:16):
Yeah, yeah, that's one thingthat I wanted to talk about.
Like you know, seniority inflight attendants is like that's
everything, and it doesn'tmatter if you're a flight
attendant or a pilot or whatever.
Any seniority, or a gate agentor whatever.
Seniority in the airlinebusiness is our gold right and
so I mean we live and breathe byour seniority and like why I'm
(13:38):
transferring over to Clevelandso people understand this, like
there's like 350 so flightattendants here in cleveland and
I'm like 46, 47 in the base,which is very senior, that's,
that's what that would be yeahfor our base it's very senior
base but our flying that we doout of here it's just so limited
that we can't like I can't getthe days off that I want.
(14:02):
I I can't get the trips that Iwant, and it's like you're doing
Orlando this week and month,I'm doing Orlando 2 this month,
other days, whatever.
It's like man, it's been sohard and I can't get the days I
want off.
So I got so frustrated.
I got to go over to Newarkbecause my senior over there
means something and, to put itin perspective, it's like newark
(14:27):
has 6 000 flight attendants.
I'm going to be 640 in the baseover there.
I mean that is huge, that'shuge and like the amount of
flying that they have there.
So out of the 6 000 flightattendants, you would think what
?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
like a thousand of them, maybe you're in reserve
well, most people don'tunderstand, um, when we bid our
lines for the month differentbases it's like a small book,
right?
I mean it's a book of pairingsand lines and all this shit and
you don't know what you're goingto hold.
You've got to figure out whatyou can hold.
You know position biddingthere's a whole lot of stuff
(15:01):
that goes on just to making yourmonthly bid.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Dude, there's a lot of stuff that goes on just to
making your monthly bid.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Dude, there's a lot of education that has to happen
in order to understand the bit.
You can screw that up big time,even going to new work.
You could jack that up big time.
Oh yeah, you could.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You could be picking a line that nobody wants I
didn't even know where to startover there, right.
So, like my big deal, my bigthing is like, okay, I want I'm
going over there early to likeget rid of my trips because in
our airline we can go down tozero flying.
So I want to get rid of mytrips so I can come back here in
Cleveland and fly on the daysthat I want to fly on, because
(15:34):
somebody out there is creatingthese schedules and flying that
I can't do here in Cleveland.
So because of that, I'm goingover there and I can do pretty
much wherever I'm going becauseI'm senior daddy over there.
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I mean that's what we call, even as junior flight
attendants, is line chasing.
Yeah, yeah, I mean they chaselines and it's for better
schedules, and that's what youdo.
I mean, cleveland, we don'thave good lines, we don't?
I mean they suck.
You have a certain level ofturns and then that's it, and
after that it just falls off theshelf.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well, there's no glamour flying here in Cleveland
, like you know, like we don'thave destinations where, like
everybody's just like, oh mygoodness, I've got to go there,
man, let me head, I mean we gotthings like Tijuana.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Tijuana would be a good place.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I used to have a buddy when I was in the Air
Force and we had this runningline going all the time when she
got too crazy.
We would just look at eachother and we'd say this line
We'd be like Tijuana, Tijuana,take your gramatine orgy to
Tijuana and we would just laughYou're killing me, man.
(16:44):
I remember that from when I was19 years old and we'd do this
stuff and my man and my man'sout still out there.
He'd be like he's, he's gonnabe like what.
I've never heard that before.
There's only one guy I knowthat says that.
Do you wanna, do you want, totake grimm to norgy, do you?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
wanna you sound like that one.
What's that one?
That guy that does all thosevoices with it?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
yeah, man, it was like it's like the pepper that
talks.
I mean when you're, when theshit's getting crazy in the
military and you're just likeyou gotta like come back to
reality.
We just look at each other andsay that saying and we just
start laughing like I mean thesergeants and shit would be like
you guys laughing about, do youwanna?
Anyways, man, the seniority isso crazy that, uh, I'm getting
(17:31):

You know like newark's gotglamour places to go, so like
I'm looking at all these coolplaces.
I mean I haven't been anywherein the airline business.
I know you were basedinternational first, like you
were over in honolulu right,yeah.
So you got to do a lot of theSouth Pacific South pack, yeah,

Speaker 2 (17:54):
I mean you're definitely going to do the other
side.
Speaker 1 (17:56):

gigantic yes, he had go-goplatform boots on and the junk
(21:17):
in the front was like bulging,so big, like nobody.
I don't care who you were, whatsex you were or anything.
This guy was like he wantedthis attention and he walked on.
He's like hello and he's likewaving and he has these long
pointy yellow fingernails and hehad glasses on sunglasses and
(21:39):
he had two long braids going allthe way down to his butt that's
what I love about our job.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
It was people watching is the funniest,
funniest thing right, it wasjust the most craziest.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Like you're like, this is your flying outfit.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Dude, I had a guy walk on with a tail coming out
of his rear end.
Oh no, a tail, a tail.
I'm not kidding you, it wasorange and white.
He had a tail coming out?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Did he tell you who he was identifying as?
Speaker 2 (22:10):
He told me that he identified as a fox.
As a fox, yeah, I said you did,and he goes, yeah, and I said
well, we don't allow those onthe plane, that's right.
He goes what?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
and I said but foxes are not allowed on the box.
We don't.
There's this very specific listof animals that can come on the
plane, and a fox isn't.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Fox is not one of them, no, but and I mean joking
around, but seriously he didn'thave a tail coming out of his
backside and he was.
He was grabbing this thing andcurling around like he's going
to go to sleep with this thing.
I mean it was crazy.
We get some of the craziestpeople had a woman in Vegas.
They brought her down in awheelchair.
(22:51):
Sean had the biggest fake boobsI've ever seen, dude, they were
huge.
I think we talked about that.
We did the big boobs I've everseen, dude, they were huge.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I think we talked about that.
We did.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It was crazy.
I mean some of the crazy peoplethat we've seen on the planes.
I mean it's outrageous.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, I mean we would love to post these pictures.
We're not going to post thispicture and stuff because that's
not our intention to you know.
But from our description yougot a very good description of
this, like very weird characterand very pleasant, very didn't
like didn't harm a flea on theflight, didn't actually cause
anything, you know, no problemsor anything like that.
(23:28):
But there wasn't, there wasn'tno one on that plane that was
that was in visual contact withthis guy.
That wasn't like their eyesweren't really big.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, it's one of the best parts of this job, though,
is actually people watching.
Yeah, I mean you do.
I mean you'll spend hours in aterminal, sometimes delayed, and
all you do is you just watchpeople as they pass by and
there's outrageous people, andthey come on the planes every
day too.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Maybe this should be called the freak in the seat
episode.
Like freak in the Freak in theSeat episode.
Like Freak in the Seat, likethe Jack in the Box.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
He was a freak, anyways, but you know you were
talking about an Orlando flightwith the Make-A-Wish and the
Wishes Can Happen program.
Yeah, this past week I've beenflying back and forth and I
absolutely love those flightsbecause we already we had a
couple of families come on.
And you know, a lot of times Isaid this so many times that you
(24:25):
know you'll have bad days andthen things you know it gets
kind of tough.
But then you see these families, they come on with these kids
and they're so excited.
I mean they're all they want todo.
They want to come down, theywant to go in the cockpit.
That you know they want us totake some pictures and and
they're going through so much intheir lives and you're looking
at them and they're having thebest time.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, those make a wish.
Flights are so fun.
I mean, like for the most part.
I mean I've had the experienceof you know you get the it's
kind of like a 50-50 thing right.
They're normally either they'reterminal Right or they're the
opposite, where they've justbeat cancer.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, you know things like that.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
And they make wishes, granting them their you know
the trip for congratulating themfor beating cancer.
It is a phenomenal organization, but yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
The Wishes can happen .
It's a nonprofit organization.
It's based in North Canton,ohio.
It's dedicated to granting thewishes for children and young
adults, ages from 3 to 21, whohave been diagnosed with a
life-threatening illness.
Since its founding in 1982, theorganization has fulfilled over
1,600 wishes Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah 1,600.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And we get to be part of these.
I mean, I do this, I do Orlandoall the time and just this.
Like I said, this past week twofamilies came on board and they
had a brother and a sister inone, and then another family
they had their whole familyinvolved and it's so cool to get
these pictures in the cockpitand they're so excited to do
(26:05):
that, but it does.
Let me tell you somethingWhenever you think that your
life is not exactly what youwant it to be, be really happy,
be fortunate Because, let metell you something, want it to
be really happy.
Be fortunate Because, let metell you something every single
day, the greatest thing that youhave is the ability to get up
and change whatever that is.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, be blessed.
I mean feel blessed.
The impact that I know that wedo on these families to, like
you know, make this experienceso special for them, and all
this stuff, with all thedifferent things that we do with
them, is, uh, you know, it's ablessing that we get to get to
see it.
First of all, you know people,people are going through some
(26:47):
crazy stuff and I just cannotimagine having my child and I
don't have any kids but to havemy child in a situation where
you're you feel so, um, don'thave the power to do anything.
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
No, I mean it's.
It's sad, yeah, Cause you don'thave any control at all.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Right, but I mean, I mean, but most of the time when
we see these families like it,it's, it's also uh, it's also a
positive thing, where it's thereward after this battle that
they've been through, or it'sthis thing they want to do
before they leave.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, it is.
But talking about travel though, when you fly and you guys go
on your vacations, do you goearly?
Go early, yeah, to the plane.
I mean, do you go early to getto the airport?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay Now you're touching on a subject that's
very dear to me that my wifeoverpacks like a sum of bitch.
She's bringing body bag afterbody bag, like I mean these bags
that you can't imagine, likeyou don't even understand.
(27:59):
Like to see how many bags shebrings for a trip.
Like we're getting ready to goon this vacation right now.
We will bring like she she willhave, like we're going to be
gone for 10 days.
She'll have three large bagsthat are estimate estimate do
you go early?
but we get there early becausewe got to take care of these
(28:20):
bags.
Like we get there so earlybecause I gotta check these bags
.
I gotta drop her off.
We gotta get these own you knowdone.
I gotta go park the car.
I gotta come back to theairport.
We gotta get through security.
Like I gotta get there early,there way.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Okay, do you always have extra time at the gate?
Yeah, okay, I never understandthis.
I seen this the other day.
Went into the airport and thesecurity line every once in a
while you walk in there, damn,security line is back up all the
way through the terminal and Inever understand this.
And you see this all the time.
(28:59):
Families are just pissed becausethey're standing there and
they're wondering if they'regoing to make their flight.
And you guys listen, when youbook these flights, sometimes
you book them in a year inadvance, sometimes six months,
three months, whatever you do inyour vacation, for God's sakes,
get there early, just get thereearly, because you're going to
start the whole vacation beingpissed at each other.
(29:20):
I mean, I see this every well,you know, probably every few
days.
When I walk in and you seethese families, they're just
completely pissed off because,okay, somebody has a bunch of
bags, right, you got to checkthem.
Or somebody forgot something,you had to go get it.
Somebody was too slow leavingthe house, didn't get up, didn't
(29:42):
take a shower very fast,whatever it is, but that person
is getting yelled at somewhere.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, I mean the airlines are cracking down on
this too.
Like all of them, a lot of theairlines that are adjusting
their check-in rules because itused to be like 30 minutes to be
able to check a bag, to get itmake it on the plane that you're
flying on in order to get to.
You know you're talking 30minutes from the time at the
front of the airport they'rereceiving the bag.
Now they've got to get the bagfrom the front of the airport to
(30:12):
the plane and you have to getthrough security and that's so
ludicrous.
So, like, a lot of the airlinesare backing them now to 45
minutes, so it's a hard45-minute cutoff.
So, like, if you don't haveyour bags there checked in
before 45 minutes, they're notletting you on a plane.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
And make sure that you get the right stuff.
Check with TSA before you packthat shit in your bag, because
you're going to get mad if youget your cologne or something
and they're going to confiscateyour cologne and tell you to
throw it away.
But, anyway, like I said, thebiggest thing is when you see
these families.
They get so mad and yourvacation is starting off all in
the wrong way.
So, like I said, just make surethat you get there early so you
(30:49):
get through security and you'resitting at the gate.
You know you're there 45minutes to an hour before that
plane leaves and everybody'srelaxed.
Relaxed and started off thatway, because I see this every
single day.
There's people that are pissedoff because there's a good
chance now you're not going tomake your flight.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Yeah but you know whose fault it is right, Dad's?
No, it's ours.
The flight attendants.
Every time we get on board,they're mad at us, Like your
company did this.
They left without us.
We hate.
Like your company, did thisblah blah blah, you know we hate
you, like you don't even knowme.
Yeah, I'm big fun right here.
Like don't come at me like that.
(31:26):
Like people come on the planeall the time, like that at us
and we're like really, Like the10 people before you they've
been dicks, but we're not.
But you know how many times wewere standing at the door and
some guy or woman the name of itis dicks.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
But we're not.
But you know how many times wewere standing at the door and
some guy or woman, the wholefamily runs up.
They're all sweating.
At the last minute.
Right, you know, they're stuckin center seats, they're
sweating, they can't breathe andthey're trying to pack their
shit in overhead bins.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, I'm not sitting together.
Can you help me why?
You know I don't.
And little Joey, he's sittingfour rows from me.
I have to sit by him.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Right All because you didn't want to get there early.
And then you're stuck in amiddle seat sweating for five
hours.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, man, just plan accordingly.
Plan accordingly, man.
We tell you this all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
But you know, I just had to touch on it again because
I see it all the time in theairport, Don't?
Speaker 1 (32:14):
beat up on your flight attendants because of it,
either the airport don't beatup on your flight attendants
because of it either.
Because I mean, if you'rehaving a bad day, believe me
most 99.9 percent of everyflight attendant out there is
going to be like ready to helpyou.
We want to, like get you calmeddown, get you a glass of water.
You know you've been running tothe gate.
You know, we know tensions andemotions have been elevated and
(32:35):
now you got to sit in a seat andyou're pissed off at the
company because you did somepoor planning.
You know, like, come on, man.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
You're talking about helping flight attendants out.
So I was flying with this girl,one of our friends, the other
day and it was funny shit.
You know who, she is Right andand so she was telling me she
was like, she's like Gary.
I went to the doctor about myheart and I said, yeah, well,
what do you say?
She goes.
I was pissed and I said, well,why are you mad?
And she goes.
(33:05):
Well, he had sent me a reportback to the house and she goes.
I was reading the report and itsaid at the end of the report
that I was grossly non-focal.
Grossly non-focal, grosslynon-focal, grossly non-focal.
And she was so mad.
She was like you know that sonof a bitch.
He was sitting there basicallytelling me that I was asking too
(33:27):
many damn questions and Iwasn't, you know, wasn't
listening to him, wasn't payingattention.
So I was just playing alongwith it and I was like, really,
and she goes, yeah, she goes.
I was mad, she goes.
I was mad, she goes.
I was sitting there reading thisand I was like I was going to
give me a piece of my mind and Isaid, well, you know what that
means, don't you?
And she goes no, what does thatmean?
And I said, well, that meansyou don't shut your ass up
whenever you're sitting theretrying to talk.
(33:48):
And she goes see, that's why Isaid do you know what actually
that means?
And she goes it means that Iwas talking too much.
And I said, no, grosslynon-focal means when you come in
(34:11):
, it's a medical term that whenthey do a neurological
evaluation it's a quickneurological evaluation that the
doctor says that he doesn'tfind that there's anything wrong
.
However, now you want to goback in and write this thing
across your face that saysyou're grossly non-focal and
prove that he wasn't right.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, she's a dingbat fly tenant.
That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I love her man.
Yeah, she's a dingbat flytenant, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
She's a little cray cray, like like half.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
She could go back in and prove that her ass is crazy.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
He just said that you're a normal and now you're
going to go prove that you're anutball.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
That's right, but that's, that's fly tenants, man,
they get a little crazy aboutthings, a little out of hand at
certain times and take thingsout of context, right.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Yeah, but you know what I told her to do.
Sean what's?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
that.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Download ChatGBT, because if your ass does not
know what it is, chatgbt doesRight, right, right.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You can ask them questions If you want somebody
to talk to and they'll be ableto answer some questions.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
Or before you go in the doctor's office with the
mask on.
It says you're grosslynon-focal, yeah yeah, there's
also before chat, gpt.

Hey, did you see that?
Did you see that big asstornado down in texas?

Speaker 1 (35:42):
I think it's like the largest tornado um in in texas
history dude, have you, have youever, like, had an experience
any personal tornado situations?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
no, yeah I had a funnel cloud.
Um, I got a picture actually ofa funnel cloud.
It was probably about three orfour years ago, right in front
of my house.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Right, I think I was taking pictures of the same
funnel cloud from over, fromlike G lives about like as a
crow flies about a couple milesright down the road, yep, and
that funnel cloud came throughpast my house and it was like
going towards G's house and Ithought that thing is going to
drop right down on G Like that.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It was like I was like that is in his neighborhood
, right now and my ass waslooking at it, but this tornado
was freaking huge.
It reminded me of that.
Remember the movie Twister?
Yeah, it was huge.
I mean, I've seen pictures ofthis and I'm looking at this.
And then I seen this otherpicture.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
What's the other picture?
Speaker 2 (36:37):
It said what not to do during a storm.
Right, okay, this guy was.
He had a lawn chair and he wassitting on top of his roof and
they they took a picture of himwatching the storm from the top
of his roof.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
He needed a good view .
He wanted a front seat view ofthe.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Sean, he wanted to go to Oz.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
I think he was trying to go to Oz, that's for sure,
because I mean, that is not theplace you go when you're here or
feel, or see a tornado.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I was looking at that thing and I thought forget
about the tornado.
If you lean back, you're a damntumbleweed.
That's right, you're coming offthat roof.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Dude Like yeah, yeah you, the roof is coming off, the
house is coming with you,behind you, everything like he
might have.
You know he could.
He might have been suicidal,who knows?
Right, it was freaking crazylike I mean, why would you ever
put yourself on top of a roofand there's a tornado that like
within visual contact?
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I just love that.
Here it is.
They're looking at this hugeass, tornadoes 2.2 miles wide,
and some guy is like well, Iwant to first, I want to, I want
a first class seat.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
And he didn't even have like a camera or anything.
He was just sitting up therewatching.
He was just sitting up therewatching it.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Like what the fuck, are your your problem?
Hey, let's take a picture of ofeddie.
As eddie goes freaking, flyingaway, could you imagine the next
picture of him getting suckedup in?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
some damn tornado dude man.
I just see the dude like likefloating through the air with
lawn chair and he's like he'ssitting there vaping smoking
some weed.
He's gotta be, but he's gottabe hot.
The guy's got to be likesomething's wrong with him they
got some dumb ass people.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I mean, we watch a lot of these stupid videos.
You know we're going to do itWhenever we start and we
actually start doing video.
We got to start getting some ofthese videos on there Because
they had this woman.
She was doing one of those Zoomcourt camps, right, she was
supposed to be in court, right?
You know what she was doing,what she was making a peanut
(38:37):
butter and jelly sandwich.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Oh, she was taking the whole thing serious.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
The judge is like stop.
And she's like what?
And he goes what are you doing?
I'm making peanut butter andjelly sandwich On a Zoom, On a
Zoom.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Dude.
What was it?
Was it Bebe's kids?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
You remember Bebe's kids?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
That's what it reminded me of this is like Bebe
was like, I got to make some.
I got to make peanut butterjelly.
Yo, I got to get this kid offschool too.
Keep talking, I'm listening.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
He started breaking this down, was looking there
like you got a damn robe on.
You know you got a t-shirt.
He goes this is court.
This is still court, eventhough it's Zoom and she's like
she's holding the peanut butterand jelly.
She's like, okay, it's fine, Igot a t-shirt on.
He was like, okay, turn around,click, just clicked her off.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Wow, yeah, come on.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
You got to love it.
I mean, you have to love thesevideos.
But hey, listen, we got to talkabout a little airline stuff
and unfortunately it's notanything that we normally like
to talk about.
Yeah, and it just happenedyesterday.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Yeah, it was that 787 Dreamliner crashed in India.
Yeah, that is like horrific man.
That was.
That is like horrific man.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
That's one of the things.
One of the things I know we wecover it and um and we talk
about it, but that's one ofthose things we airline people
don't like talking about.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Here's my like.
This is my, uh, my view of thewhole thing.
I, my view of the whole thing.
I'm getting ready to transferto Newark and I'm getting ready
to fly that plane.
That's the plane that I waslike.
I'm sitting there going throughmy schedule trying to like, hey
, I want to go fly theDreamliner.
It's a fantastic plane.
I don't know if anybody, if youdon't know what a Dreamliner is
787, I mean it has like systemson a plane where they've got
(40:32):
humidification systems in theplanes, got windows that you
touch and then they goelectronically dark and stuff.
I mean they got some cool stuff.
I mean the dreamliner is areally nice, very comfortable
for passengers and crew to uhfly on.
And this is the first majoraccident of this airline and or
this airplane and, uh, it'sgoing to be very interesting to
(40:53):
find out what happened thisthing, because I was like
looking at the video of somebodyactually got the video of it
crashing.
There's always a cameraeverywhere, so it's already on
the news and all I could thinkof is one.
It looked like it had liftproblems.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, right, I mean, it literally looked like the
bottom fell out.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Yeah, when you figure out like okay, what causes a
plane of this size to not havelift, you know you start
thinking about like likeairspeed Is there?
Did they have enough airspeed?
Did they have their the weightand balance right before they
took off?
Like maybe it was just too dangheavy, right?
You know like there's all kindsof crazy stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
I mean all that comes out and you're absolutely right
, and that's what I was lookingat too.
I mean from flying, you know,when it's heavy and it's not
lifting, you know.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yeah, I mean I would never want to be in that
situation where we're taking offand the plane's just not
getting up in the air.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
We get asked a lot of .
We don't want to speculate onthat.
I mean prayers go out to thefamily everybody that's involved
.
But you know the one thing thata lot of people ask us.
They ask us you know aboutaccidents and incidents and when
do things happen right?
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Yeah, I mean they're always like wanting our opinion
about you know, what do youthink happened here or what you
know.
I mean, obviously they want totalk to pilots first.
You know, what do you thinkhappened here or what you know?
I mean, obviously they want totalk to pilots first, you know.
But I mean the flight crew, theflight attendants, stuff, we,
we get a lot of people asking uswell, you know what do, what do
we think about this and stuff.
Because I mean we've seen a lotof shit, right, I mean we've
been around 30 and I'm 35 andyou're 38 and we're like.
(42:32):
We're like we're.
We, we got experience.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
No, and these stats are true.
I mean you're looking at 53percent of um.
These incidents happen duringlanding.
Yeah, okay, 53 of them and 8.5percent during takeoff.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, you know like, I mean the most critical point
of, uh um, of flight is thattakeoff and landing right.
And I mean that's why you'regetting your briefing, that's
why you know we take this soserious.
Like the flight attendantsaren't up in the aisles during
takeoff and landing, I meanbecause that's the critical
state of flight.
Once you get up and cruising,you know, then we have time to
(43:12):
you know business.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Right and exactly what Sean was saying.
And the reason why is exactlywith this Dreamliner is the
reason for takeoff is you havevery limited time to react.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I mean, when you see this, if you watch this video,
you're going to see the distancefrom the ground to the aircraft
and you can see that there'snot a lot of time.
And that's why they say one ofthe most critical is the takeoff
, because if something does gowrong, you don't have a lot of
time to correct it.
Speaker 1 (43:47):
No, I mean, you know, like that's how bad like
turbulence too is, so dangeroustoo, like turbulence down the
lower you are and more turbulent, you know, if you have, you
know, like microbursts andthings like that that happen,
turbulence, I mean it can bevery dangerous.
And so you know, we're tryingnot trying to speculate on what
what happened with this flightand all that stuff, what, what
(44:09):
can you know?
We don't know, everybody, it'sstill, it's still out for
investigation and stuff.
But our hearts go out to allthat were involved and all
that's been affected by this andall the families.
And we did just hear that oneperson survived right.
Speaker 2 (44:25):
One did survive.
So one person.
I guess the plane was on fireand this person had jumped out
and I mean that's a miracle.
I mean how that?
I mean you know, just thatstory alone is going to be
amazing, yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
I mean those, those, those type of accidents and
stuff you'd like.
It blows my mind when I hearabout people walking away from
them.
It reminds me of like the SiouxCity incident with the plane
you know cartwheeling down therunway.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Right.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
That video and you know cartwheeling down the
runway that video and peoplewalked away from that.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
Still strapped to their seats?
Yeah, it's like wow.
In the field.
They were in the field actually.
You know, when we talk aboutthings like that, even this guy
that survived this for the restof your life, I would be like
why?
I mean, you'd have to askyourself how did you survive
when everybody else died, andthat's the amazing part.
(45:20):
But you know, he was blessedand you can't say any more than
that.
And the rest of the people?
Like I said, prayers go out toeach and every one of them.
But this comes back to what wedo.
I mean, you know people ask usall the time we're not just
there to.
It's not just about servingCokes and snacks and stuff like
(45:40):
that Our job.
It's dangerous to take off andland.
That's what we tell people allthe time.
Pay attention, get yourheadphones off, you know, for
takeoff and landing especiallybecause those are two of the
most critical phases of flightJust take them off, take them
off for a minute and just payattention to what's going on,
because that part of it couldsave your life.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
You know people.
I think you also need to likebe a little bit more
situationally aware.
You know like you need to havethe ability to like the people
that are around you, too matter.
Like I mean where you're seatedat and where you're.
You know where your exit is andhow you're going to get there
if something happens.
Not that you want to focus andyou know or hyper focus on this
(46:23):
whole thing, but it's a goodreview to be able to like to say
, hey, you know how am I gettingoff this plane if something
happens or can I help somebody?
yes, or how, or who may have to.
I have to help, or who should I?
You, or who may have to get outof the way?
You know like there's all kindsof things that happen.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
You know, before we get out of here too, let's jump
and talk about the turbulencereal quick.
I don't want to.
I mean, you know, like I wassaying before, with airlines, I
don't like talking about a lotwith incidents and stuff like
that.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
You know what, Like, I just had this lady on the
board the other day in Orlandoflight and she was like you know
is it going to be turbulent?
Speaker 2 (47:06):
And I was like yes it's going to be turbulent.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
You know, I just got pre-fitted pilot and it's going
to be turbulent and she was likereally bad, or you know, like
she was like really freaking out, that I responded that way and
I was like I'm being honest withher.
But at the same time, you knowit's all about education people.
You need to have understandingof all these different types of
turbulence that are out there.
And I will tell you, as aflight attendant for many years,
like it's kind of like drivingyour car, like all the different
(47:36):
types of turbulence.
We could tell you what we're uh, how we're getting affected and
what it is that's beingaffecting us, because we've been
doing this for so long, andwhere we're at like dictates
those types of turbulence andand, gee, tell like, give us
some of like the list of, uh,different types of turbulence
that are out there the numberone.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Uh, turbulence is clear air turbulence.
When we talk about that one,that one's bad.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
This is the most lethal.
So every time you hear likethese airlines, like oh, they've
diverted here to go here, theydiverted all it's because clear
air turbulence no one can see it.
You can't see it, you don't uh,then you can't predict it.
You don't know when it'shappened split second for
whatever reason, and there's amillion different reasons why
(48:15):
that turbulence is there in thatspot at that time, but you
can't see it and you can'tpredict it.
And so that's when people areflying through the cabin and
hitting their heads in theceiling and we're doing those
sudden drops and you know thezero G's are happening.
You know like that's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Let me tell you and in clear air turbulence, cause
I've been in it it's probablyanywhere from 12 to 15 seconds
of the worst time of your life.
Yeah, and it's fast, andexactly what Sean was saying.
That's why we always tell youkeep your seatbelt on.
Trust me, keep your seatbelt onwhen you're sitting down, even
if it's loose.
(48:52):
Keep it on because if thathappens, anything that's not
strapped down is going up.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
Yeah, everything that's, nothing that's strapped
down, is going to be flying inthe air.
So just remember that.
I mean it doesn't matter whatyou have your cell phones, your
laptops, your CD players, yourheadphones, it doesn't matter
what it is, Everything's yourbags.
Everything's going to fly inthe air.
Speaker 2 (49:15):
Right.
The next one is thermalturbulence Sean Thermal
turbulence yeah.
Yeah, it's on hot days.
Usually it's close to theground.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah, so the heat off the end, that's the dangerous,
like on landing.
So like you can get these likethe, especially on hotter days
and stuff like that, where youget those heat waves coming up
from the ground, the ground'ssuper hot, and you get that
especially like in, you know,like from the, you know
buildings and all that, thetarmacs and the roads and stuff
(49:46):
like that.
Depending on where it's at,that heat's rising.
You know.
You know when you step on afreaking road how hot it is, you
know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
And the other.
The other one is mechanicalMechanical turbulence.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Mechanical turbulence .
Speaker 2 (50:00):
Yeah, that's when your mountains and your
buildings and your trees, yeah,anytime the wind's flowing
around over the mountains,through areas around terrain,
man-made structures, you couldexperience what's called
mechanical turbulence.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
Yeah, and that comes in that.
So that's very.
You get those type ofturbulence when you approach the
city.
So again right back to the youknow takeoff and landing the
mechanical turbulence can be, uh, something that is affecting,
uh, your flight, but there'salso a mountain wave.
Denver is a good place whereyou're getting a lot of mountain
wave activity.
So the thermal winds and stuffthat are coming off the
(50:38):
mountains you're getting themlike further out on the planes
and stuff.
You get all this like mountainwave activity and stuff like
that of turbulence.
So, uh, there's that, there'sthat, and then there's wake and
turbid, wake turbulence, right,right, which is caused by other
aircraft usually if you're, ifyou're traveling behind um like
a larger plane yeah.
So like like we're following,like a smaller plane is
(51:01):
following a larger plane, andyou get too close to that.
The convective spinning, youknow, the wind coming off the
wings gets those vortices coming, and if we hit in that vortice
where it's like still too strongand we're too close to it,
that's when you get that reallylike the plane starts spinning.
Yeah, yeah, so like a rollright or left or one way or
(51:22):
another.
Speaker 2 (51:23):
That's definitely you know that was down in Denver
right.
Speaker 1 (51:28):
Oh, that can be anywhere.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
I mean that one incident was Denver that caused
it was wake turbulence.
Speaker 1 (51:34):
Yeah, wake turbulence caused it.
Yeah, and the last one is wasDenver that caused it.
Was wake turbulence, yeah, waketurbulence caused it.
Speaker 2 (51:37):
Yeah, and the last one is frontal turbulence.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, frontal turbulence.
Speaker 2 (51:42):
And yeah, I mean that's with a change in the air
mass properties and thetemperature.
It's usually from theprecipitation of thunderstorms
and squalls of you know weatherfronts basically, but there's so
many different types ofturbulence.
I mean we talk about those, butthe biggest thing from this is
(52:07):
keep your seatbelt on and thenjust pay attention, especially
in takeoff and landing, becauseit could be the difference of
your life if we're in anemergency situation.
Yeah, but anyway, let's wrap itup man, let's wrap it up.
Hey, listen.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
What's your quote of the day here?
Speaker 2 (52:26):
We had to leave it.
On a little bit of a funniernote.
The man who says his wife can'ttake a joke forgets that she
took him.
Did I just say that?
Speaker 1 (52:39):
we're a joke.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
What's that?
I just said we're a joke.
Speaker 1 (52:42):
We're a joke.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
Anyway, guys, listen, you know again, the incident
with the India flight justhappened.
So you know we just prayers goout to those families.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
Yeah, prayers, we hope everybody.
You know it's going to be hardto get through all this stuff,
but we're going to find out whathappened with that plane and
hopefully deal with it.
Speaker 2 (53:10):
Yeah, you guys take care and we will see you back
next week, hopefully with a lotmore fun news on cabin pressure.
Speaker 1 (53:17):
see ya, see you guys if you laugh, learn something or
