What happens when your coworkers are more turbulent than the flight itself? Flight attendants Shaw n and G lift the veil on airline crew dynamics, specifically addressing the challenging "one-percenters" who make life difficult at 35,000 feet.
The hosts start by discussing the unseen health hazards of their profession – working in a "germ-infested tube" where constant exposure to illnesses is inevitable. "We're worse than a two-year-old," G admits about how flight attendants inadvertently spread germs across the country. This vulnerability creates a unique occupational hazard that passengers rarely consider when boarding.
The heart of the episode focuses on categorizing troublesome colleagues: "chia pets" who refuse to communicate, "fire starters" who create conflicts then disappear, "avoiders" who hide from work, and those who insist on wearing earbuds despite safety concerns. Through humorous anecdotes, Sean and G reveal how these challenging personalities affect both crew morale and passenger experience, offering an insider's view of workplace dynamics that mirror challenges in many professions.
Beyond crew discussion, the hosts share critical travel updates, including the May 2025 Real ID requirement deadline and recent travel advisories affecting popular destinations. They conclude with an extensive exploration of Orlando beyond its famous theme parks, highlighting hidden gems along International Drive, remarkable escape rooms, and dining experiences like the Hash House.

What's going on?
What's going on, sean?
What's going on people?
You absolutely killed me, man.
You are killing me.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
What's going on?
Man, You're sounding a littlerough over there.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm sounding like freaking Kermit the Frog.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's what I'm sounding like you are man, I'm
like what is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, what's going on is this is a little bit about
being a flight attendant.
Okay, we on.
Well, what's going on?
Is this a little bit aboutbeing a flight attendant.
Okay, we work in a freakingtube that is just germ infested,
right, we.
But the only difference it'slike working in a doctor's
office, but you don't know who'ssick exactly, man, that's
freaking, a freaking, a bioexperience in the sky, right
(01:40):
yeah, I mean you know you got,you got passengers that are sick
, you got little kids sick, butyou have no freaking clue.
And then you know there's alwayssome little kid touching the
handle or passengers touchingthe handle, overhead bends,
whatever it is, but we come incontact with it all the time
constantly, man.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I mean, that's I'm when I'm when I'm flying, I'm
always washing my hands.
I'm like constantly washing myhands.
I mean we had that, like youknow, during covet and stuff.
It was like sanitizer,sanitizers, gloves, all that
stuff, but it was like uh itdoesn't matter though, man.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I mean I, I tell you I wash my hands all the time,
and and airline soap sucks ohyeah it dries your skin out.
I mean, it don't matter howmuch lotion you put on your
hands, afterwards your, youryour fingernails crack.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I mean, it's well if you're, if you're washing your
hands that many times a day,it's like, just like any other
industry that has to do it, likedoctors, nurses, all that stuff
.
You know, that's why they'realways like.
You see them now.
They're always doing the handsanitizer.
Does it enter each room?
Type of thing you know, so it's.
Uh, you know that breaks upyour hands.
Washing it, I mean, washing isgood but it's bad for your skin,
(02:43):
right?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I like I said my, my nails crack all the time,
especially in the winter time.
But yeah, it's just you.
You just never know.
I mean, you don't know who'ssick on the airplane.
So it's just a matter of uhwhen, not if yeah as being a
flight attendant.
It's just a matter of when.
And then your crew members aresick too, and with certain
certain things about policiesand stuff like that, um, you
(03:06):
know, people come to work sickdude, that is the worst.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know, like there's this like a little
catch-22 here, like everybody'strying to make their money and,
you know, do what they got to doto get through their life and
all that stuff.
But it's also like you're likeyou try to balance that.
Should I be going to work,should I not be going to work?
Should I not be going to work?
Is this serious sickness, is it?
You know, what do I got goingon here Because we don't know,
(03:30):
just like we don't know whatwe're getting.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Or do you just want to go back and share the damn
love that somebody gave it toyou?
A lot of times I'm like, yeah,you know something.
Okay, I accepted your love.
You're getting mine right backyeah, that's worse.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I mean when I'm sitting next to somebody on the
jump seat and we're likeshoulder to shoulder and like,
and this person's coughing,wheezing or you know all this
stuff, sneezing, you're likereally.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
but you know, but flight attendants, truly, though
, we spread it all across theunited states, because when
we're sick, when we're sick andwe're handing people cups, I
mean there's a good chance a bigpercentage of them on the plane
are going to get a cold, right.
I mean it's crazy like that,because we transmit it all over
the place.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh yeah, we're worse than a little two-year-old.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, then it goes across the world, but hey,
what's been going on with youthis week?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know what I'm just trying to spend.
I'm still spitting up mybusiness and stuff with uh, real
estate photography andeverything and uh, uh working at
school and doing that type ofthing.
But something happenedyesterday that was pretty cool.
Um, in this uh photographybusiness thing is, um, I just uh
subscribed to do this.
Um, I'm gonna have a personalapp to my business.
(04:44):
Really, yeah, it's pretty cool.
Where you actually like, I'mgoing to be able to hand you or
get you it doesn't matter whattype of flat platform you're on
ISO or Android You're gonna beable to download my personal app
and then it's going to havelike all my packages of pictures
in there and all the servicesthat I do and everything.
(05:05):
It's kind of like a total stepup in the business.
It's going to be pretty cool.
But it's um, it's coolmarketing and then I can deliver
all my materials through thatto to the agents and stuff.
So I'm pretty stoked about that.
That's pretty good.
A little bit of a tech, uh, youknow um curve learning curve to
get it all spun up and all thatstuff.
I guess it's supposed to takelike a couple of weeks for them
to build the app for me and allthat stuff.
(05:26):
But yeah, man, excited aboutthat, that's, that's going to be
super cool.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I was telling you um the other day, uh, about your
venture with this.
I think this is probably one ofthe.
It will be one of your bestventures that you've done.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, I mean, this is like so tech heavy loaded.
You know, back in like you'redoing all these like not only am
I doing my photography and mypictures and all that stuff, but
also I get to like play withall my toys and stuff.
You know, my drones have allthese different like and before
(06:01):
I even got into it too, it waslike there's so much into it
Like uh, all these different uhthings that real estate agents
out there in today's world wantthat I had no idea, right, but
so I'm getting exposed to allthese like services and things
that I can provide and, yeah,it's all through all me able to
do technology and photography.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
As I said, it's right up your alley.
I mean 100% up your alley.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, yeah.
So in the news, man, the big,big dates coming up here may 7th
.
May 7th is the first day forreal ids.
If you don't know what that isreal id compliance you're not
gonna be able to travelthroughout the united states
unless you have a real id, likeevery.
(06:41):
Every state in the nation rightnow has um, a and this has been
going on for a couple years nowwhere you get your driver's
license and if there's a star onyour driver's license, it means
that you've been verified as aUS citizen, resident, all that
good stuff.
So you're going to need a realID to travel and if you don't
(07:03):
have it, have it.
You still can travel, butyou're still going to have to
produce a secondary id.
And there's a whole list of allkinds of ids that are out there
and number one is passport,right?
everybody's your passport, youknow you can use your passport
and your driver's license.
If it isn't a real id driver'slicense, you're going to be able
to um use both those.
And there's, you know, there'sjust a whole slew of IDs.
(07:26):
And what was so interestingabout this list of IDs that I
was like I had no idea thatthere's this many different
crazy IDs out there in the world.
And one of the ones that likejumped out on me, like did you
know that there is a Indiannation?
It's called a tribalal NationIndian ID.
(07:48):
No, yeah, I had no idea thatthey had their own IDs.
That's so cool.
And then they have a CanadianProvince Driver's License and
Indian and North Affairs Canadacard.
I mean, there's all these veryinteresting IDs that are out
there that I was like wow, soTSA, TSA accepts any of those
(08:11):
any of these IDs that are outhere
that are on this list.
Um TSA is trained to uhrecognize these.
You can use your um also likeyour travel uh cards to like the
global entry Nexus, all thattype of stuff you can.
You can use those as ids validids as well.
Um permanent residence cards,uh border crossing cards,
(08:33):
there's all you know like it's.
There's a lot of different idsthat are out there, but it was
just super interesting that I Ididn't realize, like I'm always
thinking you know an id is an id.
It's your driver's license,right yeah you know, driver's
license, passport federallyrecognize that tribal.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I can see that that's kind of different one yeah,
different.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, I mean, then then they have, uh, you know,
veterans health identificationcards, uh, us merchant marine,
uh, credentials, you know.
So if you start thinking about,like, all the ways people
travel and move about thecountry and stuff, there's a lot
of IDs out there.
It's pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, but we talked about that too, and the best
thing to do is go to the DMV andget your driver's license done.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, I mean you're going to, well, they stop.
I think they're going to stopissuing normal, you know, those
like standard ID type of things.
Right, you're going to onlyhave to do the real ID type of
situation here, I think, after acertain date and where you're
going to be, if you, you know,you'll be required to like prove
your residency.
But once you've already done it, once it's done, right, you
(09:39):
know, like you, renewing yourdriver's license, you have to do
it every time.
It's just a you're done andyou're, you're verified and so
May 7th 2025.
Yep 2025.
Be be prepared If you have someplans to travel, be prepared to
have those secondary IDs If youdon't have it, the real ID and
and all that Other thing that'sin the news, man, is that two
(10:04):
way like travel advisorieshappening?
I mean, you know the usgovernment has a travel advisory
um website.
I don't know if a lot of peopleknow about that, but there
there is a travel advisory betwebsite and literally every
country in the world has a linkand it will tell you an update
to what you know, what's buysand stuff.
(10:24):
And I will tell you I've usedthis site many times when I'm
traveling, if I go to adifferent country or something
like that, just to be aware ofwhat's going on in that country
when I get before I get there,because you can't believe of all
the things that are happeningthat you don't see in the news,
that's happening in othercountries that just because it's
not around you, you know theyhave.
They have their terroristproblems, they have their like,
(10:45):
you know issues, whateverpolitical issues, and you know
wars and whatever.
But if, whatever you're,wherever you're going, you
should definitely like back inthe day when we went to Honduras
.
I don't think I checked thatsite.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You didn't look at it at all, you know.
Excuse me, but you know, thefunny part about that we had
talked about this many times was, um, in the United States, u S
citizens, a lot of U S citizenswhen they travel abroad, they
have a false sense of security.
Right, they have a and, and youknow, when you talk to these
people, they are like, oh, Ijust go, I don't really worry
(11:19):
about that, and and all I thinkabout all the time is that this
is why you have these videos ofthese people that are missing a
lot of times because they havethis false sense of security in
a different country.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, they don't, they just don't.
I mean I will, as an Americanthat have lived abroad and seen
like actions of Americans livingabroad and people traveling
abroad quite often that, yeah,that pulse and security lets
their guard down and they thinkthat there's this US citizen
(11:52):
bubble around them or somethinglike that, where they're
protected.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, it's crazy.
I've seen it with crew memberstoo, though, sean.
I mean, we'll be in a placethat's not safe, right, and
they'll go walk around in adowntown area and they'll act
like they're safe and you don'trealize you are a target.
Yeah, you just became a target,and they have this false sense
of security In some of theseplaces.
They got no business walkingaround those downtown areas.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well, exactly.
And then you know, the US has,right now they issued 13 new
countries on the travel advisoryand it's funny that they sit.
You know the news picked up onthese 13 new I mean, there's
actually hundreds, uh, but butthe why they picked it up is it
because of some of the placesthat are, you know that we've
issued travel advisory and oneof them is canada.
(12:37):
You know canada you would never.
You would never ever think of,think of Canada as a place
Austria, ireland, portugal,argentina, caribbean islands
right now, aruba and St Lucia ison that list, and these are
places like.
I've been to most of thoseplaces on that list and you know
(12:57):
, going there I wouldn't havethought that you got to worry
about that.
But what they're saying is thatterrorists are likely to try
and carry out attacks against USpeople internationally, and
those attacks could beindiscriminate, including places
of that foreigner's visit, andso you need to be aware, when
(13:21):
you're internationally, thatthese attacks might be.
You know they're trying totarget Americans outside of the
borders, so you need to be onheightened alert period.
I mean, just in this day andage and right now.
This is a, this is real.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, just be careful .
I mean, anytime you'retraveling abroad, I you know you
need to be careful, be aware,you're aware of your
surroundings, cause, like I said, I've seen it so many times,
even with flight attendants thattravel abroad, they have this
false sense of security and it'sfoolish.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, it's foolish.
And then here's the other thing, as I was looking into this
whole thing, you know there'salso travel advisories in other
countries that are against theUS.
I mean, a lot of people don'trealize that that, like other
countries that they're trying tocome to here, there's advisors
in their countries for them notto travel to the US.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Well, it'd be the same thing, right?
Terrorist attacks, right.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, it's not always a terrorist attack.
Their big concern right now islike if you get to the US border
, you might not, even if youhave the proper documentation,
be accepted to come in.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And there's a lot of being denied to people coming
into the United States, I guessright now?
Um.
So, uh, there's.
You know, canada, denmark,finland, france, germany and
United Kingdom all has issuedtravel advisors to go to the U S
?
Um, and it's for those reasons,mostly not as concerned like a
US citizen going abroad, so it'sa little bit different.
(14:47):
You know, it's immigrationthings, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, I guess I mean I definitely understand that
Some of the places we fly to youcan understand why.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, it's crazy, man , but you were talking the other
day about the cruise you'vebeen flying with.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, you know, on the podcast we always talk about
passengers and things that goon with passengers and, to be
fair, because I just flung witha, let's say it's just a
different type of crew member,right, right, okay, so we have
1% of passengers that are alittle disruptive.
Sure, today I thought, well,let's just talk about that 1% of
(15:26):
crew member.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You're talking about the 1%, crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Now, any flight attendants are listening.
Any passengers are listening?
You guys have ran into this too.
I mean, this is not a shocker.
We just don't talk about it somuch.
As a crew member.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Sure, I mean, we want to keep face right, we want to
make sure that we have aprofessional industry and stuff,
but, just like you said,there's always that 1% out there
that you run into.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's batshit crazy this part of the podcast was
when I was on this flight, I waswith this crew member and she
was.
Everything was good, right.
I mean, you know, we're sittingthere, we're sitting there
going through the motions andgetting everything, and we get
(16:16):
out in the, we're getting out inthe cabin.
And as soon as this person gotout in the cabin I'm not kidding
you, sean, I mean, I don't, thestress level wasn't even that
bad.
But next thing, you know, I'mlike this person is completely
spasmodic in the aisle and I'mlike what the hell just happened
to you from the galley out here, and I had to deal with this
(16:37):
all the way through the cabinand all I could think about is
this is the one thing that wehave not talked about on this
podcast yet is our bat crazyflight attendant set.
That, that that we at and andflight attendants you guys are
listening, you know exactly whatwe're talking about, so we're
going to kind of give you alittle bit of a rundown today on
the bat shit crazy flightattendants that we have kind of
(16:59):
classified all these uhdifferent uh employees you run
to.
you probably can apply these toother work environments too, but
uh, the ones that are specificto us as crews, I mean these are
this is some of the list, solike you know when you walk on
board and a lot of times you'rea load flight attendant you know
when you come on board andthose people act like they don't
(17:20):
even know you.
I mean the first thing.
I mean you're just, you come inand you say hello and you'll
get one person that actuallysmiles at you and the rest of
them, that you get these theselittle frowns and everything
else and you just meet theseperson for the for the first
time yeah, I mean, that's one ofthat situation.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I hate that situation .
When you're you're that uh,extra flight attendant running
around in the sky and you're byyourself and you're flipping
from crew to crew and you get onthis crew and you know you got
total attitude coming back foryou and then nobody wants to be
friendly or talk to you.
And you know, on this crew, andyou know you got total attitude
coming back for you and nobodywants to be friendly or talk to
you and you know that is likethe most uncomfortable situation
to be in.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
And they put you in the funny thing about it, in
this position you're always atthe front of the plane, you're
greeting people, so you're likeyou remember the Julie, the
cruise director of the love boat.
Right, You're out in the frontof there and you're greeting all
these people and and you're,you're, you're all nice and
everything, and everybody elseis not nice.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Oh, you know what I mean.
Do you feel like, uh, do youget embarrassed when you're like
, with a career like that?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, I mean.
That's why I wanted to talkabout it, because this is only
1%, don't get me wrong.
You know, when we're talkingabout this to our flight
attendants, this is 1%.
This is a very small percentageof people on the airplane that
are like this.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, I mean this is like little encounters that we
pop up every now and then I meanthese unicorns within the
system that rear their head andwe're like where did you come
from?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean, you get the first one.
I always refer to them as achia pet, the chia pet.
Do you remember that chia pet?
You just water it and the shitgrows Right.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
That's the same thing .
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I mean you get this person that they just come in.
There's no response from themat all, sean, I mean at all.
I mean you come in.
You're like, hi yeah, silence,nothing, right, they just move
around, they just move.
You have to literally draw anytype of conversation out of them
.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, they won't talk at all Like it's just like
they're there.
They're just, they're the partycrew, but they do not
communicate with you whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Even going through this every, every time that you
run into these type of people,you always ask the same question
who in the hell hired them?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Because this is this is a career in which you have to
communicate with people yeah,you're supposed to be personable
, you're supposed to be able tocommunicate all that stuff, but
I mean, when you start shuttingdown towards your own crew
members, I mean that's like redflag and you're like what is
going on?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
exactly, and you see him.
You see him in the aisles, too,with the passengers.
The mean crew member, the onethat doesn't want to talk yeah,
oh man, those.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You know what.
I can't stand a mean crewmember, especially because I
feel like I'm always needing torun behind them and put out
their little fires or whoeverthey pissed off.
You're trying to overcompensatefor what they're doing because
of their bad behavior, and youknow that the customers are
actually attuned to this.
The customers are actually likethey're attuned to this.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That's funny.
You just said that because thatone I refer to is that's the
one that hits the hot button,right, and they're a runner.
Yeah, they hit the hot buttonand then what do they do?
They piss this person off andthen they run away from it and
they do what they go.
Get me and you to come backhere and play the cooler.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
See, I call them a fire starter.
That's bullshit.
I'm like like these.
I'm my motto when I get on acrew, like when I'm like, uh,
the lead or something like that,and especially if I don't know
these people, whatever I, likeyou know, do our briefing, that
we're supposed to do and stuff,and I'm like you know, um, you
know, I'm a, I'm a fire fighter,not a fire starter.
So you know, that's part of mybrief.
(20:47):
Like I'm like, you know, don'tstart the shit.
Like I don't know who you are,but don't start it.
You know, I'm a firefighter,I'm not a fire starter.
And if you start some fires,I'm gonna put it out and we're
gonna be talking exactly, butthey still do it I mean you know
they do.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I mean that's that's why I'm saying it's crazy.
And then you get these ones,you get these ones and this is
kind of a towards a youngergeneration, this 1% and they're
like oh, this is just mypart-time job, is how I get my
coin.
Yeah, what is your coin?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
The beauty of our job is that one yeah, we have the
flexibility of doing ourschedule and we can make it
part-time if we want to.
I mean, once you get just alittle bit of seniority in a, in
any system, you can.
You don't have to be here thatoften.
You know you can, you can giveaway your trips, you can pick up
trips, you can do all thatstuff.
But I mean that attitude oflike for the majority of us that
(21:37):
come here and we're this is ourjob, this is our staple.
You know we come here, we doour job on a daily basis, weekly
basis, and you got this one guyrolling in here, a gal, that's
like.
You know this is my part-timejob and you know I don't really
care.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Right from the very beginning, right, right, yeah,
you know I don't do that becausethis is not how I make my coin.
Right?
I hear that and I'm like coin,what is that?
I know it's your money, I know,I mean, but it just blows me
away when I hear that.
And then the other one is Ilove this one too.
Don't bother me, I've got myearbud in.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Oh, dude, first of all, unprofessional right, I
mean having your earbuds in onthe aircraft.
I will say.
I will say this there's been atime like in my career where I
was like I wish we could wearearbuds, like you know.
I know, I know our policy andour company that we're not
supposed to be doing that, butit happens all the time on the
plane.
But I mean to protect our ears.
(22:32):
I mean, honestly, flightattendants as much as we're on
these steeper planes and thenoise level.
We just don't realize how noisyit is.
But I mean, how many flightattendants do we know have ear
damage?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
They're not listening .
Yeah, but that's not the case,man.
They're listening to music orthey're talking to somebody.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Right, right right.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
We're talking about the bullshit ones that are
listening to music and talkingto somebody.
That's not even part of yourjob.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, they're talking to somebody on the phone where
they know they're not supposedto and they're telling everybody
else on the plane not to be onthe phone but they're on the
phone when they're freaking podsand they're listening to music
and stuff like that and just notpaying attention to stuff.
Doing their job?
Yeah, I did, that is the, andwe're out there doing their job
and our job right because theycan't hear bells and you know
(23:19):
all that crap.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, that's the one that killed me.
Okay, you got them in therethat are sitting on a jump seat
and they got that shit in theirears and all of a sudden there's
, there's uh, there's a callback and they're not answering
the phone.
They're on the side of thephone and I'm like waving over
there.
I'm like what are you?
They got earbuds in.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
It's ridiculous.
I mean, like I said, this is 1%and you guys know this, but we
have to talk about it becauseyou know.
It's ridiculous as a crewmember that you also have to
deal with this too, but it alsoaffects customer service too,
that you also have to deal withthis too, but it also affects
customer service too.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, but then on that line you have the person,
the avoider, right, they avoideverything.
They're just like literallythey don't want to be like.
They shrink into the corner onthe jump seat and don't move.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
They hide out in the galley.
They stick their head aroundthe corner just to see if it's
close to being done.
Right, they don't help out withbags.
Yeah, and the other thing withbags.
Why is it?
Why is it passengersautomatically think, when they
see a male flight attendant,that the male flight attendant
is the bag lifter?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Right, they just think because of us it's rude.
They think that we're andyou're not being rude, but they
think automatically they see meand you like we're supposed to
pick their big ass bag up andthrow it in the overhead man
this is something that's youknow, it's only because we're
we're male.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Flight attendants like this is a peeve of mine,
like people they think thatwe're just because we're male,
oh, I need to assist this ladyor I need to assist this pastor.
But this is education foreverybody out there if they
don't already know this.
One of the things that acompany wants to do is they want
to protect their employees, andto protect their employees is
that.
One of the number one reasonswhy flight attendants get
(24:54):
injured on the jobs is liftingbags, and we injured ourselves
with our bags, all kinds ofstuff.
We get injured doing it, and soa lot of companies have put out
directives out there saying,hey, don't lift the bags, you
can assist, but you're not tolift it yourself.
Now there's a lot of situationswhere obviously you know, hey,
(25:15):
we need to lift the bags, canthis person's handicap?
And we're, we're, we'reassisting them and you know, try
to.
You know we, we do that type ofstuff, but on an average basis.
Just because you're rollingyour bags and you brought too
much stuff with you like youshouldn't have.
We're not here to lift yourbags.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You need to be able to lift your own bag but they
always look at me and you thesame way.
It doesn't matter.
They look at me and you aboutoh, you're rude if you don't, um
, pick my bag up.
No, I'll help you pick your bagup, but just don't assume that
you know, just because we're onthe airplane, that that's our
job is to pick your bag upbecause those bags are really
heavy a lot of times yeah and Idon't care.
You know me, I'm in the gym allthe time.
(25:51):
It's not the, that's not thethe, the whole point of it.
The point of it is is that youknow you packed it.
It's like pack, you pack it,you stack it right, exactly
because as soon as you get itover your head, it could be a
back injury for most flightattendants right.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well, and here's the other part about it that people
don't realize.
I mean, and I've seen thishappen Like you are a flight
attendant and we go and we tryto do, you know, try to help
people out, like we're alwaystrying to do and that flight
attendant gets injured.
And guess what, if that planeis in a station where we don't
have extra flight attendants,it's down.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You've is in a station where we don't have
extra flight attendants.
It's down.
You've just canceled the flight.
Oh yeah, it's down, for sure, Imean you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You're not going anywhere because if that flight
attendant has to get off theflight and there's nobody to
replace them, you just, you justliterally canceled the flight
because you brought too muchshit yeah, exactly now.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Let's go back to our one percenter, sean.
How about that flight attendantthat you know you?
As soon as you get done withthe service and you go back and
you sit on the jump seat, theykind of turn towards the door
and they act like you're noteven there.
Did you love that one?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
The one that acts like you're not even in the
galley man.
They just they turn their backto you.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, they're in there.
They want to like crawl backinto their own little world or
whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, but um, and not be a part of what's going on,
with what they're getting paidto do.
It's their job.
Now, here's here's the one thatI really think is kind of funny
too.
The one that would do this job,zoom that would one do it zoom.
Yeah, exactly Right In theirapartment.
They'd want to do this job byZoom, because they don't even
want to be there.
You know, and the funny partabout it again, we're just
talking about this, but,passengers, you've experienced
(27:37):
these people and trust me whenI'm telling you we might not
talk about them that much, butwe experience them too, because
when we fly, when we fly, welook at our pairings and we look
at like crew members, right.
And when we look at a pairingand we think, okay, it's a one
day trip, well, I can take themfor one day, right, sure, I can
(27:58):
take them for one day.
And then you see three day tripand you're like, oh, hell, no.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Three day trip working with that person.
I'll jump my ass out of theairplane.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know I mean seriously I'm not airplane.
You know I mean seriously I'mnot.
You know that.
You know that we we have thebenefit of being a small base
and we know everybody.
And then we've you know we'veexperienced this forever.
I mean it's we're just gettingrecently into uh, getting new
people and stuff like that.
We'd really that some of themwe don't know.
But I mean, yeah, I mean if youhave that pre-knowledge of,
like the, what this person islike to fly with, and yeah, I
don't want to go multiple dayswith that person flying with
(28:32):
them.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Because you're constantly.
You're Smokey the Bear man,you're putting out fires all day
long for one person.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I'm not doing that, man first of all, it's not worth
it Because I'm the flightattendant that I'm not going to
be shy about getting in yourface If you're a fire starter
and you're causing a problem.
By the end of that next flight,between those flights, we're
going to have a serious talk andsomebody's getting off the
flight or somebody's going to becorrecting their behavior,
(29:00):
because I'm not putting up withthat bullshit.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Exactly because you don't want to deal with it for
three days.
But you know, just like I said,I had to touch on this because
we talk about passengers and wekind of give it to the
passengers a lot of times.
But this time we had to give alittle bit of love back to our
crew members because there is 1%that we deal with all the time
and a lot of times thepassengers, you guys see them
(29:24):
and they're the same way towardsyou and you know, unfortunately
in every business you have that1%.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, man, but we skipped over one here, one
really important one, which isthat one flight attendant that
doesn't want to stop talking.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Oh my God, but you can't even get a word.
Edgewise G oh you're talkingabout.
No, you're not.
Yeah, you've got to be kiddingme really?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
oh, all right, all right.
I need people to call in andneed to like chime back.
Let me tell you what you thereis a.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
There's a big difference between me and
someone.
I will have a conversation withyou and we'll talk about
anything, but you know where youjust keep going.
No, you ain't saying that aboutme, brother.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
No, no no, listen, no , the flight attendants that are
out there, that we know thatlike talk and talk and talk.
Like there's one here incleveland that I'm not saying
any names or anything like that,but it's like, uh, when she
gets on the flight, or even if Isee her on a parent, and just
this goes back to us likeknowing our crew members stuff,
it's like I mean, it's so thatthat conversation, that she it's
(30:36):
like a continuous conversation,that it's almost a nervous
conversation because she'stalking about nothing.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Well, you know, what it is with me is that if you're
in the conversation, we'rehaving a conversation Now,
you're right, I can talk all daylong.
We're having a conversation,now, you're right, I can talk
all day long if we're having aconversation, right.
But I'm also listening to whatyou're saying and I'm responding
to what you're saying.
I'm not just waiting for me tointerject again.
These people, I don't eventhink they're listening to what
(31:03):
you're saying.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Whatever they're talking about is the most
important thing, yeah, and theyjust keep talking about them and
their life and what's happening, and blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah blah, and they just keepgoing on, and on, and on, and on
and on and it never ends.
Yeah, never ends.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
But how about the ones that they could have summed
it up in like three words, andit ends up being 15 minutes for
three words 15 minutes issomething that you do not want
or not interested in hearing.
That's it.
Yeah, I mean three words ittakes, but anyway, we all have
that and I can't even believeyou said it was me, you got me,
all right.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
People help me out.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
No, you ain't no helping out.
You ain't no helping out.
You got to be kidding me, rightListen?
To you how much you talk.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
You know, I got give you shit.
Yeah, give it shit.
Anyways, um yeah, what about?
What else has been happening?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
in the airline business, the these days here.
Did you see that flightattendant?
Uh ran that mercedes into thattesla dude.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
So so I don't know.
I don't know what this is aboutand all that stuff, but I mean,
uh, this whole thing with thetesla thing in in mus Musk and I
don't I don't want to getpolitical on the on the show and
all that stuff, but I mean it.
It a person goes out and buys avehicle that has no attachment
to the person that owns thecompany or you know like that's
(32:22):
such a bunch of bullshit.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
And then you take off running and all you're getting
out of that as a mug shot.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, I mean running, and all you're getting out of
that is a mugshot.
Yeah, I mean, this is like.
This whole situation with thetesla stuff can like flip
tomorrow, like tomorrow, like,uh, all of a sudden, you know
something happens in germanyagainst america, or something
like that, and now everybody'skeying bnws.
You know, like the tesla thingis ridiculous, though, sean,
because it's so stupid yeah, butit's.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
It's built in the united states, it's's built in.
Yeah, it's US workers, it's USproduct, I mean, and you're
sitting out there and you'reyelling and screaming about it,
but anyway, the flight attendantran her Mercedes into a Tesla
and tried to run.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, dude.
First of all, the Tesla vehiclehas that sentry mode and
there's like I don't know, 18cameras, yeah, exactly.
You're busted sentry mode andthere's like I don't know, 18
cameras.
That thing has recording everyangle and anything around it.
I mean, one time I was in the Iwas I was golfing and I I saw
one of the tesla trucks on thething and I just went up to it
and I literally touched the carand like was looking in.
(33:23):
But you know, just like lean intype of thing yeah, yeah.
And it was like you know,century mode and like it
actually started talking to me.
I was like what?
The whoa?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
dude high tech man.
But you know, these people areso stupid, they're all on video.
I mean that's just dumb, I meanshe was stupid.
But all these people that aredoing this to Tesla's, they're
stupid, they're on video.
You're going to go to jail.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
This reminds me of like that know, when, uh, I was
growing up, it was talking about, like, college students
protesting and all this stuff.
And, uh, when I was young, youknow, like this is early, you
know, late 60s, early 70s,whatever protesters, all this
stuff and you know this is,these are actions that you're
doing right now that eventuallyyou're going to regret it.
You're going to regret itbecause you're going to get,
(34:05):
you're going to get caught.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
You know, know and this goes on your record.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
You're already caught , it's just a matter of time
when they figure out who you areand all that stuff.
I mean it's just stupid thingsto do.
I mean I saw a guy like on thenews the other day going down
and he like was keying one.
You know, they got him keyingit.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
But with facial recognition anymore it's going
to be so easy.
How about the guy that ran thelittle four-wheeler into the
side of it?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
But anyway, we were talking more with the flight
attendants about this, but it'sjust absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
But did you see the one?
Now this is nasty.
Sean Guy takes a sterno and heputs it in the toilet and then
puts a tin across the lid insidethe lavatory of an airplane and
cooks a steak on it.
That's fucking gross.
How nasty could you possibly be?
And then you're taking a videoof this, like you know, like
(34:56):
you're, it's like a five starrestaurant.
You're in the toilet.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I'm sorry, man, I can't like.
I can't even think of anybodylike taking any type of beverage
, food, anything into a lavatoryon a plane.
I mean, you're talking about?
Where are you talking about?
We started off talking aboutbugs in a plane, in a tube.
Are you kidding me?
Now you're going to go cookfood in this environment.
That's like the worst freakingbio environment in the world.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
How many people have set their ass down on that lid?
And you just set your steak ona piece of, on a tin over that
thing.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah, that's like me going out to like a construction
site and going into a freakingouthouse and like, hey, I'm
going to set up, cook some lunch.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That was just nasty.
You're looking for views.
I get it.
That's nasty man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That's gross, why, why?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
How about the ding dong that had his lighter out,
flicking it and the captainactually had to come on the PA,
tell him if, if he keeps doingthis, if he doesn't give over,
give over the light.
They're diverting and theydiverted, they diverted yeah, I
mean, you are as you're about asdumb as they could possibly be
(36:07):
in this day and age.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Man, I'm serious, I'm I'm surprised if there was
someone, somebody on that flightthat literally wanted to
freaking, pulverize this dude.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, but the airlines are going to come after
you for that cost.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Oh, no, no, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, we know that, youknow you're getting into
trouble.
You might have this attitudeand I'm going to do what I want
and blah, blah, blah andwhatever that person's situation
is, but there's some definitelyrepercussions to that situation
financially, right.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
And how about another naked woman man, the one
running around Dallas stabbingpeople and biting them?
Speaker 2 (36:47):
What is it?
What is what's up with thesepeople running around naked in
airports now?
Is this a new thing or what?
And?
But now you start stabbingpeople too and biting them.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I think the only thing I can think is edibles.
We got a drug problem atcheck-in at the airports Because
these people are batshit crazyrunning around doing every week.
Every week, we've had somenaked person running around the
(37:18):
airport you can literally, ifyou google naked people in
airport, there's just like seemslike there's hundreds of people
.
Just I don't understand likewhat is the purpose about
getting naked in the airport?
I don't know yeah it's, it'sweird.
It's like you know, back in, uh, the 70s and stuff, they had
those like streaking was the bigthing, you know, like it was
kind of like a fat, it was likefunny and people were doing it
(37:40):
at like public events and stuff.
But no, these people are justbad shit Crazy.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
That one I still laugh at that one that she was.
She's running around with thatpolice officer and and she was
going up underneath uh all theum, uh, the little um check-in

That was hilarious, oh my God,Dude Nasty, but it's crazy.

I mean it's either you gotcrazy people or you got this
weird things happening like youknow and you just the world,
it's a world.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Hey, let's talk about the destination.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Destination man.
Destination this week, man.
There's so much to talk aboutthis destination Orlando Florida
.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Love Orlando, Orlando , Florida.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
first of all, there's so much to talk about this
destination orlando, florida,love orlando, orlando, florida.
First of all, I mean, uh, I'vebeen, you know, we've both been
there so many times.
Yep and um, you know they areknown for their theme parks and
the theme parks they're like youknow, disney started that whole
area, you know, bought up allthose hundreds of lands secretly
and all the stuff starteddisney, you know, just it
exploded.
But when you go to to orlandoit is, you know, people all
(38:58):
think about these parks butthere is like thousands and
thousands of things to do otherthan the parks.
Now the parks have grown, youknow, like disney started off it
was just magic kingdom and thenthey grew to like Epcot and
Hollywood studios and animalkingdom and all that stuff there
.
That's their main parks andthey all have their own like
(39:20):
little, uh, beach parks too aswell.
Um, but then you know, universalstudios is growing right now
like big time and people don'trealize that.
But here, here this may 22nd,there's a new universal park
opening up in orlando and, uh,that's, that's called, uh,
universal epic universe and um,I guess it's going to have like
(39:42):
a mario world in there, really,yeah, so they're going to have
all these different, uh you know, section of different things uh
that universal studios are areconnected with.
But they had, you know,universal studios are going to
have now three parks.
So I mean they're giving disneya run for their money.
I mean disney has four,universal has three and they
both have two water parks youknow, you remember, you remember
(40:04):
a thing called soren.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Was that universal?
Soren yeah, soren, it's.
When you went up, they theytook you in an imax and you're
in the center of an IMAX and youactually looked like you were
flying.
That was actually in Epcot.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
It was at Epcot.
Yeah, it's Epcot.
It's in one of those worldsthere.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
They still have it.
Yeah, it's still there.
That is the most incrediblething, man, I mean.
Did you do that?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yeah, I've done it.
So that whole some somesituation where they put the
giant seats there and you soaracross something.
I also did one outside ofOrlando up in Canada and it was.
It was in Vancouver and it wasthis soaring across Canada and
they you did the same experiencewhere you're like you know it
looks like you're flying and allthat stuff, but in this one was
(40:49):
you were flying across all theprovidences of Canada.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
It was really cool it's so because they what they
do is they, they have um thesmell of the, the trees, and
they, they just pump in thesmells of whatever you're flying
over yeah, like you see waterand they missed you and there.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
So it's like more of a like a 4d experience, like not
only are you doing thisexperience of like sensation of
flying and moving and all thatstuff, you're also having these
like other sensations of thatthat the water and the smells
and all that stuff that was cool.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
And then you know the one I remember, and this is
when jackson was young.
But the one I really rememberwas the crush interactive, did
you?
Okay?
You remember crush?
No, the turtle from Dory.
Oh, yeah, yeah yeah, the hellodude, what you doing, man, right
.
And then, okay, so you go inthere and they had this
(41:40):
interactive with the kids andCrush was like swimming up and
he's like doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,you know, sure.
And he comes up and he's likewhat's up, dude, what's going on
?
And all of a sudden, sudden,he's like talking to kids that
are in the crowd.
Oh, that's cool.
So, yeah, so it was actuallysomebody that was in there could
talk, just like crush and theywere.
They were doing this, thiswhole interactive with the kids,
(42:02):
and he'd swim around and hetalked to another kid or he
talked to a dad and, yeah, itwas really is some of the stuff
they they have in there isreally cool I mean we went to
disney um a year or two ago andtook our nieces there and I mean
it is just mind-blowing thetechnology that's involved with
Disney and you're talking aboutthat interaction.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Like Hollywood Studios, they had a Muppet show,
one where you know you'rebasically on a Muppet show.
Yeah, and you know me, growingup I love the muppets.
Yeah, were you a muppet fan?
oh yeah yeah, I mean, who's not,who wasn't a muppet?
Jim jim hansen was amazing.
But that interactive thingthere in this uh studio is they
(42:45):
get interactive with theaudience and stuff and so the
muppets are actually interactingwith the audience and talking
to the audience and making jokesand putting a spotlight on
different people and things likethat.
It's, it's a it's, it's amazing, but I mean All right your
favorite Muppet.
My favorite Muppet man animal.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
Come on, you know something.
I tell you that I was sittingthere.
I was like there's no way, yeah, animal man, he was mine too.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
Heck yeah, he was a bomb man.
I mean after which would beyour number two.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Number two.
You know, I really neverthought about it.
Animal was always my favorite,so I really never thought about
number two.
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
My number two would be Beaker.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, I like Beaker.
I like Beaker, he's cool.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Beaker was the Muffet equivalent of Kenny on South
Park.
Exactly, beaker got blew up.
He was always getting blown uphere and there, all that stuff.
Muppets were that.
That physical comedy has got tocome back in the world.
I was thinking about this theother day with my nieces.
We were at a restaurant andthere's pictures of the Three
(43:47):
Stooges and we were talkingabout them and trying to explain
to them about Three Stooges andit was like man, how do you not
know about Three Stooges?
Like we grew up it was like astaple right.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
Oh yeah, little Rascals, three Stooges, it's
like Abbott and Costello, yeahall that stuff was like that was
our jam right there.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
But like these kids are oblivious to this, I'm like
I've got to get you experiencedtoo.
Just, I mean larry curly mo,come on now but I love the
little rascals too.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
That was really good yeah, little rascals.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
I mean all that, all that physical comedy and things
like that were just, you know,we that was priceless do you
remember mom paul kettle?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, all right, I just had tosee, because that that was
really funny too yeah, so, uh,the other thing about um, the
destination orlando too, is notonly disney, and universal has a
park there.
Seaworld has a park and it'skind of like the redhead
(44:36):
stepchild of the parks.
I mean, seaworld's turned intolike a different experience.
When I was growing up it wasall about the sea animals and
you know you can go see thewhales and the dolphins and the
otters and for some reason theotter at every show I went
(44:59):
always got out of the cage andthey're running around the park
chasing the seed.
But uh, it was like.
You know there's thatexperience.
But now the uh sea world hasturned into more of an amusement
park, like it has all theseroller coasters, rides and stuff
that like lots of rides thatare involved in sea world and
stuff.
But they still have the animalsand stuff in the in the tied
into it but they don't.
You know it's just not as uhprevalent because uh, they
stopped all the you know thewhales in the parks and all that
(45:20):
stuff.
You know, so um, pita and allthat stuff was involved with
like getting rid of all thatstuff and getting deterring that
stuff.
But anyways, um, the otherthing that's really, really cool
in disney or at um, orlando,orlando.
You always call Orlando Disneybecause it's so prevalent there
is.
There's so many other places togo outside the parks and one of
(45:43):
the things that we lay over onusually on International Drive.
You've done some stuff onInternational.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Drive, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Yep International Drive is like what is some stuff
that you've done oninternational drive?
Speaker 2 (45:55):
you know, sean, it's been a while because it's been
with the, with the kids a longtime ago, so I mean it wouldn't
be anything current.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
Yeah so, like, I used to get these like layovers like
I do two days down there andbeing being in orlando every
like once or twice a week, andso I spent a lot of time in
international boulevard, andinternational boulevard has
everything, dude, it has allkinds of like experiences, like
these shops and food and and youcan do a helicopter ride.
You can do, um, madametrudeau's museums there, the
(46:24):
upside down museums there, um,like it's like the whole
building's flipped upside downon the thing, um, it's like it's
wild.
I I mean it's, it's a wild, thewhole road, but it's all kind
of like hidden because it'sFlorida on this, like bushes, it
seems like you know what youcan't see.
Everything is right there, butit's all there.
And uh, one of my big thingsthat um was like a big rage here
(46:47):
recently or in the past history, was escape rooms.
Have you done escape rooms?
Nope, let me tell you, let megive advice to everybody out
there If you like and enjoyescape rooms, you've got to go
to.
The pinnacle of escape rooms isOrlando.
They've taken it to a wholeother level that you can never,
ever experience anywhere else.
(47:07):
I mean, it's become anamusement park, these escape
rooms, and they were so popularat one time Disney was trying to
.
They were thinking aboutincorporating this into Disney
somehow.
Really yeah, but theirtechnology and what they're
doing in these escape rooms noware so impressive and the
scenarios and stuff and storiesare great.
(47:29):
You don't have to be with agroup to go you can go by
yourself.
I did that myself.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
I just went by myself , joined another group and you
know you do the 68 rooms of onehour experience.
So how?
Speaker 1 (47:41):
many people are in a group usually it depends on the
room and the experience.
Like one, one of the very highlevel rooms, because they have
them measured in differentlevels um, like there was a
maximum on five people could bein the room, okay, so I was in
there it was me and two couplesand we were in a very, extremely
hard escape room that you hadto get out of one hour and uh,
we barely did it but we got itand we got done with it and uh,
(48:05):
it was, um, it was like a nextlevel escape room.
It was a um, a werewolf thingwhere you were like in a cabin
and aware in out in the woodsand the whole experience start
where you're like in this cabinand it's pitch black and it is.
It is wild because they hadlike all kinds of freaky things
Like you're, once you find likesome light and figure out, find
(48:26):
some keys and there's likelittle holes and things you go
into and there'd be like youknow they'd make sounds and grab
.
You know they'd make sounds andyou know stuff would like grab,
grab at you at the like it was.
It was wild man.
It was like or like air wouldblow on you and you like scared
the crap out of you, like thatwould be fun but, it was just
really cool.
But to get to my point,universal I mean international
(48:46):
drive has so many experiencesand there's other experiences
there outside of the parks, likedisney springs with Disney has
their whole area.
That is like literally a city.
And back in the day it wascalled something else.
I can't remember the name of it, but it was.
They had started off as anightclub area, like for adults.
(49:07):
In the evening you can go inand like from five to midnight.
This thing turned into like aparty zone, but it was like a
Disney party zone, so they hadall these different types of
clubs and stuff like that.
But then they changed this wholearea into the city.
So now it's this familyexperience where you can go
there with you know food andthere's shows to see, there's
(49:27):
you know, there's not so manyclubs necessarily, but there's
experiences and stuff that youcan go into.
They have those, like now, 3drooms and stuff where you can go
in and like put on these 3dequipment.
There's a virtual equipment andyou're as a team in the room
and you're all doing this wholeventure, whether you're shooting
aliens and stuff, but you're ina big open space with this
equipment on.
You can just see everybodythrough virtual reality.
(49:49):
It's pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Orlando has something for everybody, right?
Speaker 1 (49:53):
yeah, I mean it's, it's something for everybody
there, and then universal hastheir own city too, now called
universal city walk, anduniversal city walk is the same
thing, but it's all theuniversal stuff in the city and
the same thing, kind of likeparallel to what disney springs
is, but just they've got allthose different experiences and
activities for you to do giantarcades you know four, four
(50:16):
story arcades where you can goin there and pay one price and
you're just doing all kinds ofcrazy stuff, kind of like a Dave
and Buster's type of thing.
But I mean it's just unlimited.
In Orlando, what all the thingsyou can do, not to mention
outside of the resorts.
You've got all the hotels andyou got golfing and food, and
even downtown Orlando is likeamazing.
There's just so many things totalk about with Orlando.
(50:38):
I mean you just got to.
It's amazing.
But there's only there's somuch food there.
There's no sense in even tryingto like, pick, you know, any
food to talk about.
There's no specific food to goto.
But there is one place that Igot to tell you about that I
think that you would really love, and it's a place called the
hash house and it's oninternational Boulevard.
(50:59):
I found this last time I wasdown there with my niece and
nephew and the hash house islike this breakfast breakfast
experience.
Like you go there and you'regoing to get a put a pancake.
You order one pancake.
The pancake is going to comeout.
It's like I would say like it'stwice the size of the plate
that they serve it on.
I mean it's ridiculous.
(51:20):
I mean the size of the food andall this stuff.
They got people going aroundtalking to the kids, making
balloons and all kinds of stuff.
It's really cool.
It's a cool place.
But the Hash House isdefinitely a place that you have
a time and there's hundreds ofplaces to get food and breakfast
and dinner and lunch and allthat stuff.
But the hash house is reallycool.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Well, you can understand why Orlando flights
are always packed, right, I meanthey're they're packed all the
time because this is a familydestination and there is
something for everyone.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
There's not a room.
I mean all those miracleflights we do down there and you
know it is a cool destinationand there's something there for
everybody.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
All right, man.
Well, listen, here is the quotefor the week.
Too often we underestimate thepower of a touch, a smile, a
kind word, a listening ear andan honest compliment or the
smallest act of caring, all ofwhich has the potential to turn
a life around.
Amen.
(52:21):
You know, in our job we saythis all the time people travel.
Most of the people that wecould come across are traveling
for the first time and theairports are the most
frustrating place to be and,trust me, I understand that I'm
in those every single day.
So, just as a crew member,those one percenters, take that
(52:44):
in consideration when you'recoming across some of these
passengers.
We realize some of them are alittle bit upset, but sometimes
there's a reason.
So just take a minute, try tomake somebody's day and make
yours a little bit better.
But hey, listen.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
This is cabin pressure.
What's going on?
What's going on, sean?
What's going on people?
You absolutely killed me, man.
You are killing me.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
What's going on?
Man, You're sounding a littlerough over there.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm sounding like freaking Kermit the Frog.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That's what I'm sounding like you are man, I'm
like what is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Well, what's going on is this is a little bit about
being a flight attendant.
Okay, we on.
Well, what's going on?
Is this a little bit aboutbeing a flight attendant.
Okay, we work in a freakingtube that is just germ infested,
right, we.
But the only difference it'slike working in a doctor's
office, but you don't know who'ssick exactly, man, that's
freaking, a freaking, a bioexperience in the sky, right
(01:40):
yeah, I mean you know you got,you got passengers that are sick
, you got little kids sick, butyou have no freaking clue.
And then you know there's alwayssome little kid touching the
handle or passengers touchingthe handle, overhead bends,
whatever it is, but we come incontact with it all the time
constantly, man.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I mean, that's I'm when I'm when I'm flying, I'm
always washing my hands.
I'm like constantly washing myhands.
I mean we had that, like youknow, during covet and stuff.
It was like sanitizer,sanitizers, gloves, all that
stuff, but it was like uh itdoesn't matter though, man.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I mean I, I tell you I wash my hands all the time,
and and airline soap sucks ohyeah it dries your skin out.
I mean, it don't matter howmuch lotion you put on your
hands, afterwards your, youryour fingernails crack.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I mean, it's well if you're, if you're washing your
hands that many times a day,it's like, just like any other
industry that has to do it, likedoctors, nurses, all that stuff
.
You know, that's why they'realways like.
You see them now.
They're always doing the handsanitizer.
Does it enter each room?
Type of thing you know, so it's.
Uh, you know that breaks upyour hands.
Washing it, I mean, washing isgood but it's bad for your skin,
(02:43):
right?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I like I said my, my nails crack all the time,
especially in the winter time.
But yeah, it's just you.
You just never know.
I mean, you don't know who'ssick on the airplane.
So it's just a matter of uhwhen, not if yeah as being a
flight attendant.
It's just a matter of when.
And then your crew members aresick too, and with certain
certain things about policiesand stuff like that, um, you
(03:06):
know, people come to work sickdude, that is the worst.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know, like there's this like a little
catch-22 here, like everybody'strying to make their money and,
you know, do what they got to doto get through their life and
all that stuff.
But it's also like you're likeyou try to balance that.
Should I be going to work,should I not be going to work?
Should I not be going to work?
Is this serious sickness, is it?
You know, what do I got goingon here Because we don't know,
(03:30):
just like we don't know whatwe're getting.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Or do you just want to go back and share the damn
love that somebody gave it toyou?
A lot of times I'm like, yeah,you know something.
Okay, I accepted your love.
You're getting mine right backyeah, that's worse.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I mean when I'm sitting next to somebody on the
jump seat and we're likeshoulder to shoulder and like,
and this person's coughing,wheezing or you know all this
stuff, sneezing, you're likereally.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
but you know, but flight attendants, truly, though
, we spread it all across theunited states, because when
we're sick, when we're sick andwe're handing people cups, I
mean there's a good chance a bigpercentage of them on the plane
are going to get a cold, right.
I mean it's crazy like that,because we transmit it all over
the place.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh yeah, we're worse than a little two-year-old.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, then it goes across the world, but hey,
what's been going on with youthis week?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know what I'm just trying to spend.
I'm still spitting up mybusiness and stuff with uh, real
estate photography andeverything and uh, uh working at
school and doing that type ofthing.
But something happenedyesterday that was pretty cool.
Um, in this uh photographybusiness thing is, um, I just uh
subscribed to do this.
Um, I'm gonna have a personalapp to my business.
(04:44):
Really, yeah, it's pretty cool.
Where you actually like, I'mgoing to be able to hand you or
get you it doesn't matter whattype of flat platform you're on
ISO or Android You're gonna beable to download my personal app
and then it's going to havelike all my packages of pictures
in there and all the servicesthat I do and everything.
(05:05):
It's kind of like a total stepup in the business.
It's going to be pretty cool.
But it's um, it's coolmarketing and then I can deliver
all my materials through thatto to the agents and stuff.
So I'm pretty stoked about that.
That's pretty good.
A little bit of a tech, uh, youknow um curve learning curve to
get it all spun up and all thatstuff.
I guess it's supposed to takelike a couple of weeks for them
to build the app for me and allthat stuff.
(05:26):
But yeah, man, excited aboutthat, that's, that's going to be
super cool.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I was telling you um the other day, uh, about your
venture with this.
I think this is probably one ofthe.
It will be one of your bestventures that you've done.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, I mean, this is like so tech heavy loaded.
You know, back in like you'redoing all these like not only am
I doing my photography and mypictures and all that stuff, but
also I get to like play withall my toys and stuff.
You know, my drones have allthese different like and before
(06:01):
I even got into it too, it waslike there's so much into it
Like uh, all these different uhthings that real estate agents
out there in today's world wantthat I had no idea, right, but
so I'm getting exposed to allthese like services and things
that I can provide and, yeah,it's all through all me able to
do technology and photography.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
As I said, it's right up your alley.
I mean 100% up your alley.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, yeah.
So in the news, man, the big,big dates coming up here may 7th
.
May 7th is the first day forreal ids.
If you don't know what that isreal id compliance you're not
gonna be able to travelthroughout the united states
unless you have a real id, likeevery.
(06:41):
Every state in the nation rightnow has um, a and this has been
going on for a couple years nowwhere you get your driver's
license and if there's a star onyour driver's license, it means
that you've been verified as aUS citizen, resident, all that
good stuff.
So you're going to need a realID to travel and if you don't
(07:03):
have it, have it.
You still can travel, butyou're still going to have to
produce a secondary id.
And there's a whole list of allkinds of ids that are out there
and number one is passport,right?
everybody's your passport, youknow you can use your passport
and your driver's license.
If it isn't a real id driver'slicense, you're going to be able
to um use both those.
And there's, you know, there'sjust a whole slew of IDs.
(07:26):
And what was so interestingabout this list of IDs that I
was like I had no idea thatthere's this many different
crazy IDs out there in the world.
And one of the ones that likejumped out on me, like did you
know that there is a Indiannation?
It's called a tribalal NationIndian ID.
(07:48):
No, yeah, I had no idea thatthey had their own IDs.
That's so cool.
And then they have a CanadianProvince Driver's License and
Indian and North Affairs Canadacard.
I mean, there's all these veryinteresting IDs that are out
there that I was like wow, soTSA, TSA accepts any of those
(08:11):
any of these IDs that are outhere
that are on this list.
Um TSA is trained to uhrecognize these.
You can use your um also likeyour travel uh cards to like the
global entry Nexus, all thattype of stuff you can.
You can use those as ids validids as well.
Um permanent residence cards,uh border crossing cards,
(08:33):
there's all you know like it's.
There's a lot of different idsthat are out there, but it was
just super interesting that I Ididn't realize, like I'm always
thinking you know an id is an id.
It's your driver's license,right yeah you know, driver's
license, passport federallyrecognize that tribal.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I can see that that's kind of different one yeah,
different.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, I mean, then then they have, uh, you know,
veterans health identificationcards, uh, us merchant marine,
uh, credentials, you know.
So if you start thinking about,like, all the ways people
travel and move about thecountry and stuff, there's a lot
of IDs out there.
It's pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, but we talked about that too, and the best
thing to do is go to the DMV andget your driver's license done.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, I mean you're going to, well, they stop.
I think they're going to stopissuing normal, you know, those
like standard ID type of things.
Right, you're going to onlyhave to do the real ID type of
situation here, I think, after acertain date and where you're
going to be, if you, you know,you'll be required to like prove
your residency.
But once you've already done it, once it's done, right, you
(09:39):
know, like you, renewing yourdriver's license, you have to do
it every time.
It's just a you're done andyou're, you're verified and so
May 7th 2025.
Yep 2025.
Be be prepared If you have someplans to travel, be prepared to
have those secondary IDs If youdon't have it, the real ID and
and all that Other thing that'sin the news, man, is that two
(10:04):
way like travel advisorieshappening?
I mean, you know the usgovernment has a travel advisory
um website.
I don't know if a lot of peopleknow about that, but there
there is a travel advisory betwebsite and literally every
country in the world has a linkand it will tell you an update
to what you know, what's buysand stuff.
(10:24):
And I will tell you I've usedthis site many times when I'm
traveling, if I go to adifferent country or something
like that, just to be aware ofwhat's going on in that country
when I get before I get there,because you can't believe of all
the things that are happeningthat you don't see in the news,
that's happening in othercountries that just because it's
not around you, you know theyhave.
They have their terroristproblems, they have their like,
(10:45):
you know issues, whateverpolitical issues, and you know
wars and whatever.
But if, whatever you're,wherever you're going, you
should definitely like back inthe day when we went to Honduras
.
I don't think I checked thatsite.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You didn't look at it at all, you know.
Excuse me, but you know, thefunny part about that we had
talked about this many times was, um, in the United States, u S
citizens, a lot of U S citizenswhen they travel abroad, they
have a false sense of security.
Right, they have a and, and youknow, when you talk to these
people, they are like, oh, Ijust go, I don't really worry
(11:19):
about that, and and all I thinkabout all the time is that this
is why you have these videos ofthese people that are missing a
lot of times because they havethis false sense of security in
a different country.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, they don't, they just don't.
I mean I will, as an Americanthat have lived abroad and seen
like actions of Americans livingabroad and people traveling
abroad quite often that, yeah,that pulse and security lets
their guard down and they thinkthat there's this US citizen
(11:52):
bubble around them or somethinglike that, where they're
protected.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, it's crazy.
I've seen it with crew memberstoo, though, sean.
I mean, we'll be in a placethat's not safe, right, and
they'll go walk around in adowntown area and they'll act
like they're safe and you don'trealize you are a target.
Yeah, you just became a target,and they have this false sense
of security In some of theseplaces.
They got no business walkingaround those downtown areas.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Well, exactly.
And then you know, the US has,right now they issued 13 new
countries on the travel advisoryand it's funny that they sit.
You know the news picked up onthese 13 new I mean, there's
actually hundreds, uh, but butthe why they picked it up is it
because of some of the placesthat are, you know that we've
issued travel advisory and oneof them is canada.
(12:37):
You know canada you would never.
You would never ever think of,think of Canada as a place
Austria, ireland, portugal,argentina, caribbean islands
right now, aruba and St Lucia ison that list, and these are
places like.
I've been to most of thoseplaces on that list and you know
(12:57):
, going there I wouldn't havethought that you got to worry
about that.
But what they're saying is thatterrorists are likely to try
and carry out attacks against USpeople internationally, and
those attacks could beindiscriminate, including places
of that foreigner's visit, andso you need to be aware, when
(13:21):
you're internationally, thatthese attacks might be.
You know they're trying totarget Americans outside of the
borders, so you need to be onheightened alert period.
I mean, just in this day andage and right now.
This is a, this is real.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, just be careful .
I mean, anytime you'retraveling abroad, I you know you
need to be careful, be aware,you're aware of your
surroundings, cause, like I said, I've seen it so many times,
even with flight attendants thattravel abroad, they have this
false sense of security and it'sfoolish.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, it's foolish.
And then here's the other thing, as I was looking into this
whole thing, you know there'salso travel advisories in other
countries that are against theUS.
I mean, a lot of people don'trealize that that, like other
countries that they're trying tocome to here, there's advisors
in their countries for them notto travel to the US.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Well, it'd be the same thing, right?
Terrorist attacks, right.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Well, it's not always a terrorist attack.
Their big concern right now islike if you get to the US border
, you might not, even if youhave the proper documentation,
be accepted to come in.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh man.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And there's a lot of being denied to people coming
into the United States, I guessright now?
Um.
So, uh, there's.
You know, canada, denmark,finland, france, germany and
United Kingdom all has issuedtravel advisors to go to the U S
?
Um, and it's for those reasons,mostly not as concerned like a
US citizen going abroad, so it'sa little bit different.
(14:47):
You know, it's immigrationthings, yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, I guess I mean I definitely understand that
Some of the places we fly to youcan understand why.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, it's crazy, man , but you were talking the other
day about the cruise you'vebeen flying with.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, you know, on the podcast we always talk about
passengers and things that goon with passengers and, to be
fair, because I just flung witha, let's say it's just a
different type of crew member,right, right, okay, so we have
1% of passengers that are alittle disruptive.
Sure, today I thought, well,let's just talk about that 1% of
(15:26):
crew member.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You're talking about the 1%, crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Now, any flight attendants are listening.
Any passengers are listening?
You guys have ran into this too.
I mean, this is not a shocker.
We just don't talk about it somuch.
As a crew member.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Sure, I mean, we want to keep face right, we want to
make sure that we have aprofessional industry and stuff,
but, just like you said,there's always that 1% out there
that you run into.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
That's batshit crazy this part of the podcast was
when I was on this flight, I waswith this crew member and she
was.
Everything was good, right.
I mean, you know, we're sittingthere, we're sitting there
going through the motions andgetting everything, and we get
(16:16):
out in the, we're getting out inthe cabin.
And as soon as this person gotout in the cabin I'm not kidding
you, sean, I mean, I don't, thestress level wasn't even that
bad.
But next thing, you know, I'mlike this person is completely
spasmodic in the aisle and I'mlike what the hell just happened
to you from the galley out here, and I had to deal with this
(16:37):
all the way through the cabinand all I could think about is
this is the one thing that wehave not talked about on this
podcast yet is our bat crazyflight attendant set.
That, that that we at and andflight attendants you guys are
listening, you know exactly whatwe're talking about, so we're
going to kind of give you alittle bit of a rundown today on
the bat shit crazy flightattendants that we have kind of
(16:59):
classified all these uhdifferent uh employees you run
to.
you probably can apply these toother work environments too, but
uh, the ones that are specificto us as crews, I mean these are
this is some of the list, solike you know when you walk on
board and a lot of times you'rea load flight attendant you know
when you come on board andthose people act like they don't
(17:20):
even know you.
I mean the first thing.
I mean you're just, you come inand you say hello and you'll
get one person that actuallysmiles at you and the rest of
them, that you get these theselittle frowns and everything
else and you just meet theseperson for the for the first
time yeah, I mean, that's one ofthat situation.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I hate that situation .
When you're you're that uh,extra flight attendant running
around in the sky and you're byyourself and you're flipping
from crew to crew and you get onthis crew and you know you got
total attitude coming back foryou and then nobody wants to be
friendly or talk to you.
And you know, on this crew, andyou know you got total attitude
coming back for you and nobodywants to be friendly or talk to
you and you know that is likethe most uncomfortable situation
to be in.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
And they put you in the funny thing about it, in
this position you're always atthe front of the plane, you're
greeting people, so you're likeyou remember the Julie, the
cruise director of the love boat.
Right, You're out in the frontof there and you're greeting all
these people and and you're,you're, you're all nice and
everything, and everybody elseis not nice.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Oh, you know what I mean.
Do you feel like, uh, do youget embarrassed when you're like
, with a career like that?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Yeah, I mean.
That's why I wanted to talkabout it, because this is only
1%, don't get me wrong.
You know, when we're talkingabout this to our flight
attendants, this is 1%.
This is a very small percentageof people on the airplane that
are like this.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yeah, I mean this is like little encounters that we
pop up every now and then I meanthese unicorns within the
system that rear their head andwe're like where did you come
from?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean, you get the first one.
I always refer to them as achia pet, the chia pet.
Do you remember that chia pet?
You just water it and the shitgrows Right.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
That's the same thing .
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I mean you get this person that they just come in.
There's no response from themat all, sean, I mean at all.
I mean you come in.
You're like, hi yeah, silence,nothing, right, they just move
around, they just move.
You have to literally draw anytype of conversation out of them
.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, they won't talk at all Like it's just like
they're there.
They're just, they're the partycrew, but they do not
communicate with you whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Even going through this every, every time that you
run into these type of people,you always ask the same question
who in the hell hired them?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Because this is this is a career in which you have to
communicate with people yeah,you're supposed to be personable
, you're supposed to be able tocommunicate all that stuff, but
I mean, when you start shuttingdown towards your own crew
members, I mean that's like redflag and you're like what is
going on?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
exactly, and you see him.
You see him in the aisles, too,with the passengers.
The mean crew member, the onethat doesn't want to talk yeah,
oh man, those.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You know what.
I can't stand a mean crewmember, especially because I
feel like I'm always needing torun behind them and put out
their little fires or whoeverthey pissed off.
You're trying to overcompensatefor what they're doing because
of their bad behavior, and youknow that the customers are
actually attuned to this.
The customers are actually likethey're attuned to this.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That's funny.
You just said that because thatone I refer to is that's the
one that hits the hot button,right, and they're a runner.
Yeah, they hit the hot buttonand then what do they do?
They piss this person off andthen they run away from it and
they do what they go.
Get me and you to come backhere and play the cooler.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
See, I call them a fire starter.
That's bullshit.
I'm like like these.
I'm my motto when I get on acrew, like when I'm like, uh,
the lead or something like that,and especially if I don't know
these people, whatever I, likeyou know, do our briefing, that
we're supposed to do and stuff,and I'm like you know, um, you
know, I'm a, I'm a fire fighter,not a fire starter.
So you know, that's part of mybrief.
(20:47):
Like I'm like, you know, don'tstart the shit.
Like I don't know who you are,but don't start it.
You know, I'm a firefighter,I'm not a fire starter.
And if you start some fires,I'm gonna put it out and we're
gonna be talking exactly, butthey still do it I mean you know
they do.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
I mean that's that's why I'm saying it's crazy.
And then you get these ones,you get these ones and this is
kind of a towards a youngergeneration, this 1% and they're
like oh, this is just mypart-time job, is how I get my
coin.
Yeah, what is your coin?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
The beauty of our job is that one yeah, we have the
flexibility of doing ourschedule and we can make it
part-time if we want to.
I mean, once you get just alittle bit of seniority in a, in
any system, you can.
You don't have to be here thatoften.
You know you can, you can giveaway your trips, you can pick up
trips, you can do all thatstuff.
But I mean that attitude oflike for the majority of us that
(21:37):
come here and we're this is ourjob, this is our staple.
You know we come here, we doour job on a daily basis, weekly
basis, and you got this one guyrolling in here, a gal, that's
like.
You know this is my part-timejob and you know I don't really
care.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Right from the very beginning, right, right, yeah,
you know I don't do that becausethis is not how I make my coin.
Right?
I hear that and I'm like coin,what is that?
I know it's your money, I know,I mean, but it just blows me
away when I hear that.
And then the other one is Ilove this one too.
Don't bother me, I've got myearbud in.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Oh, dude, first of all, unprofessional right, I
mean having your earbuds in onthe aircraft.
I will say.
I will say this there's been atime like in my career where I
was like I wish we could wearearbuds, like you know.
I know, I know our policy andour company that we're not
supposed to be doing that, butit happens all the time on the
plane.
But I mean to protect our ears.
(22:32):
I mean, honestly, flightattendants as much as we're on
these steeper planes and thenoise level.
We just don't realize how noisyit is.
But I mean, how many flightattendants do we know have ear
damage?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
They're not listening .
Yeah, but that's not the case,man.
They're listening to music orthey're talking to somebody.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Right, right right.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
We're talking about the bullshit ones that are
listening to music and talkingto somebody.
That's not even part of yourjob.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah, they're talking to somebody on the phone where
they know they're not supposedto and they're telling everybody
else on the plane not to be onthe phone but they're on the
phone when they're freaking podsand they're listening to music
and stuff like that and just notpaying attention to stuff.
Doing their job?
Yeah, I did, that is the, andwe're out there doing their job
and our job right because theycan't hear bells and you know
(23:19):
all that crap.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, that's the one that killed me.
Okay, you got them in therethat are sitting on a jump seat
and they got that shit in theirears and all of a sudden there's
, there's uh, there's a callback and they're not answering
the phone.
They're on the side of thephone and I'm like waving over
there.
I'm like what are you?
They got earbuds in.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
It's ridiculous.
I mean, like I said, this is 1%and you guys know this, but we
have to talk about it becauseyou know.
It's ridiculous as a crewmember that you also have to
deal with this too, but it alsoaffects customer service too,
that you also have to deal withthis too, but it also affects
customer service too.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, but then on that line you have the person,
the avoider, right, they avoideverything.
They're just like literallythey don't want to be like.
They shrink into the corner onthe jump seat and don't move.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
They hide out in the galley.
They stick their head aroundthe corner just to see if it's
close to being done.
Right, they don't help out withbags.
Yeah, and the other thing withbags.
Why is it?
Why is it passengersautomatically think, when they
see a male flight attendant,that the male flight attendant
is the bag lifter?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Right, they just think because of us it's rude.
They think that we're andyou're not being rude, but they
think automatically they see meand you like we're supposed to
pick their big ass bag up andthrow it in the overhead man
this is something that's youknow, it's only because we're
we're male.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Flight attendants like this is a peeve of mine,
like people they think thatwe're just because we're male,
oh, I need to assist this ladyor I need to assist this pastor.
But this is education foreverybody out there if they
don't already know this.
One of the things that acompany wants to do is they want
to protect their employees, andto protect their employees is
that.
One of the number one reasonswhy flight attendants get
(24:54):
injured on the jobs is liftingbags, and we injured ourselves
with our bags, all kinds ofstuff.
We get injured doing it, and soa lot of companies have put out
directives out there saying,hey, don't lift the bags, you
can assist, but you're not tolift it yourself.
Now there's a lot of situationswhere obviously you know, hey,
(25:15):
we need to lift the bags, canthis person's handicap?
And we're, we're, we'reassisting them and you know, try
to.
You know we, we do that type ofstuff, but on an average basis.
Just because you're rollingyour bags and you brought too
much stuff with you like youshouldn't have.
We're not here to lift yourbags.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You need to be able to lift your own bag but they
always look at me and you thesame way.
It doesn't matter.
They look at me and you aboutoh, you're rude if you don't, um
, pick my bag up.
No, I'll help you pick your bagup, but just don't assume that
you know, just because we're onthe airplane, that that's our
job is to pick your bag upbecause those bags are really
heavy a lot of times yeah and Idon't care.
You know me, I'm in the gym allthe time.
(25:51):
It's not the, that's not thethe, the whole point of it.
The point of it is is that youknow you packed it.
It's like pack, you pack it,you stack it right, exactly
because as soon as you get itover your head, it could be a
back injury for most flightattendants right.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Well, and here's the other part about it that people
don't realize.
I mean, and I've seen thishappen Like you are a flight
attendant and we go and we tryto do, you know, try to help
people out, like we're alwaystrying to do and that flight
attendant gets injured.
And guess what, if that planeis in a station where we don't
have extra flight attendants,it's down.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You've is in a station where we don't have
extra flight attendants.
It's down.
You've just canceled the flight.
Oh yeah, it's down, for sure, Imean you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
You're not going anywhere because if that flight
attendant has to get off theflight and there's nobody to
replace them, you just, you justliterally canceled the flight
because you brought too muchshit yeah, exactly now.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Let's go back to our one percenter, sean.
How about that flight attendantthat you know you?
As soon as you get done withthe service and you go back and
you sit on the jump seat, theykind of turn towards the door
and they act like you're noteven there.
Did you love that one?
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
The one that acts like you're not even in the
galley man.
They just they turn their backto you.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, they're in there.
They want to like crawl backinto their own little world or
whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah, but um, and not be a part of what's going on,
with what they're getting paidto do.
It's their job.
Now, here's here's the one thatI really think is kind of funny
too.
The one that would do this job,zoom that would one do it zoom.
Yeah, exactly Right In theirapartment.
They'd want to do this job byZoom, because they don't even
want to be there.
You know, and the funny partabout it again, we're just
talking about this, but,passengers, you've experienced
(27:37):
these people and trust me whenI'm telling you we might not
talk about them that much, butwe experience them too, because
when we fly, when we fly, welook at our pairings and we look
at like crew members, right.
And when we look at a pairingand we think, okay, it's a one
day trip, well, I can take themfor one day, right, sure, I can
(27:58):
take them for one day.
And then you see three day tripand you're like, oh, hell, no.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Three day trip working with that person.
I'll jump my ass out of theairplane.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You know I mean seriously I'm not airplane.
You know I mean seriously I'mnot.
You know that.
You know that we we have thebenefit of being a small base
and we know everybody.
And then we've you know we'veexperienced this forever.
I mean it's we're just gettingrecently into uh, getting new
people and stuff like that.
We'd really that some of themwe don't know.
But I mean, yeah, I mean if youhave that pre-knowledge of,
like the, what this person islike to fly with, and yeah, I
don't want to go multiple dayswith that person flying with
(28:32):
them.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Because you're constantly.
You're Smokey the Bear man,you're putting out fires all day
long for one person.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I'm not doing that, man first of all, it's not worth
it Because I'm the flightattendant that I'm not going to
be shy about getting in yourface If you're a fire starter
and you're causing a problem.
By the end of that next flight,between those flights, we're
going to have a serious talk andsomebody's getting off the
flight or somebody's going to becorrecting their behavior,
(29:00):
because I'm not putting up withthat bullshit.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Exactly because you don't want to deal with it for
three days.
But you know, just like I said,I had to touch on this because
we talk about passengers and wekind of give it to the
passengers a lot of times.
But this time we had to give alittle bit of love back to our
crew members because there is 1%that we deal with all the time
and a lot of times thepassengers, you guys see them
(29:24):
and they're the same way towardsyou and you know, unfortunately
in every business you have that1%.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah, man, but we skipped over one here, one
really important one, which isthat one flight attendant that
doesn't want to stop talking.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Oh my God, but you can't even get a word.
Edgewise G oh you're talkingabout.
No, you're not.
Yeah, you've got to be kiddingme really?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
oh, all right, all right.
I need people to call in andneed to like chime back.
Let me tell you what you thereis a.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
There's a big difference between me and
someone.
I will have a conversation withyou and we'll talk about
anything, but you know where youjust keep going.
No, you ain't saying that aboutme, brother.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
No, no no, listen, no , the flight attendants that are
out there, that we know thatlike talk and talk and talk.
Like there's one here incleveland that I'm not saying
any names or anything like that,but it's like, uh, when she
gets on the flight, or even if Isee her on a parent, and just
this goes back to us likeknowing our crew members stuff,
it's like I mean, it's so thatthat conversation, that she it's
(30:36):
like a continuous conversation,that it's almost a nervous
conversation because she'stalking about nothing.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Well, you know, what it is with me is that if you're
in the conversation, we'rehaving a conversation Now,
you're right, I can talk all daylong.
We're having a conversation,now, you're right, I can talk
all day long if we're having aconversation, right.
But I'm also listening to whatyou're saying and I'm responding
to what you're saying.
I'm not just waiting for me tointerject again.
These people, I don't eventhink they're listening to what
(31:03):
you're saying.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Whatever they're talking about is the most
important thing, yeah, and theyjust keep talking about them and
their life and what's happening, and blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah blah, and they just keepgoing on, and on, and on, and on
and on and it never ends.
Yeah, never ends.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
But how about the ones that they could have summed
it up in like three words, andit ends up being 15 minutes for
three words 15 minutes issomething that you do not want
or not interested in hearing.
That's it.
Yeah, I mean three words ittakes, but anyway, we all have
that and I can't even believeyou said it was me, you got me,
all right.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
People help me out.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
No, you ain't no helping out.
You ain't no helping out.
You got to be kidding me, rightListen?
To you how much you talk.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
You know, I got give you shit.
Yeah, give it shit.
Anyways, um yeah, what about?
What else has been happening?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
in the airline business, the these days here.
Did you see that flightattendant?
Uh ran that mercedes into thattesla dude.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
So so I don't know.
I don't know what this is aboutand all that stuff, but I mean,
uh, this whole thing with thetesla thing in in mus Musk and I
don't I don't want to getpolitical on the on the show and
all that stuff, but I mean it.
It a person goes out and buys avehicle that has no attachment
to the person that owns thecompany or you know like that's
(32:22):
such a bunch of bullshit.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
And then you take off running and all you're getting
out of that as a mug shot.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yeah, I mean running, and all you're getting out of
that is a mugshot.
Yeah, I mean, this is like.
This whole situation with thetesla stuff can like flip
tomorrow, like tomorrow, like,uh, all of a sudden, you know
something happens in germanyagainst america, or something
like that, and now everybody'skeying bnws.
You know, like the tesla thingis ridiculous, though, sean,
because it's so stupid yeah, butit's.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
It's built in the united states, it's's built in.
Yeah, it's US workers, it's USproduct, I mean, and you're
sitting out there and you'reyelling and screaming about it,
but anyway, the flight attendantran her Mercedes into a Tesla
and tried to run.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yeah, dude.
First of all, the Tesla vehiclehas that sentry mode and
there's like I don't know, 18cameras, yeah, exactly.
You're busted sentry mode andthere's like I don't know, 18
cameras.
That thing has recording everyangle and anything around it.
I mean, one time I was in the Iwas I was golfing and I I saw
one of the tesla trucks on thething and I just went up to it
and I literally touched the carand like was looking in.
(33:23):
But you know, just like lean intype of thing yeah, yeah.
And it was like you know,century mode and like it
actually started talking to me.
I was like what?
The whoa?
Speaker 2 (33:32):
dude high tech man.
But you know, these people areso stupid, they're all on video.
I mean that's just dumb, I meanshe was stupid.
But all these people that aredoing this to Tesla's, they're
stupid, they're on video.
You're going to go to jail.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
This reminds me of like that know, when, uh, I was
growing up, it was talking about, like, college students
protesting and all this stuff.
And, uh, when I was young, youknow, like this is early, you
know, late 60s, early 70s,whatever protesters, all this
stuff and you know this is,these are actions that you're
doing right now that eventuallyyou're going to regret it.
You're going to regret itbecause you're going to get,
(34:05):
you're going to get caught.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
You know, know and this goes on your record.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
You're already caught , it's just a matter of time
when they figure out who you areand all that stuff.
I mean it's just stupid thingsto do.
I mean I saw a guy like on thenews the other day going down
and he like was keying one.
You know, they got him keyingit.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
But with facial recognition anymore it's going
to be so easy.
How about the guy that ran thelittle four-wheeler into the
side of it?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
But anyway, we were talking more with the flight
attendants about this, but it'sjust absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
But did you see the one?
Now this is nasty.
Sean Guy takes a sterno and heputs it in the toilet and then
puts a tin across the lid insidethe lavatory of an airplane and
cooks a steak on it.
That's fucking gross.
How nasty could you possibly be?
And then you're taking a videoof this, like you know, like
(34:56):
you're, it's like a five starrestaurant.
You're in the toilet.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
I'm sorry, man, I can't like.
I can't even think of anybodylike taking any type of beverage
, food, anything into a lavatoryon a plane.
I mean, you're talking about?
Where are you talking about?
We started off talking aboutbugs in a plane, in a tube.
Are you kidding me?
Now you're going to go cookfood in this environment.
That's like the worst freakingbio environment in the world.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
How many people have set their ass down on that lid?
And you just set your steak ona piece of, on a tin over that
thing.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yeah, that's like me going out to like a construction
site and going into a freakingouthouse and like, hey, I'm
going to set up, cook some lunch.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That was just nasty.
You're looking for views.
I get it.
That's nasty man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That's gross, why, why?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
How about the ding dong that had his lighter out,
flicking it and the captainactually had to come on the PA,
tell him if, if he keeps doingthis, if he doesn't give over,
give over the light.
They're diverting and theydiverted, they diverted yeah, I
mean, you are as you're about asdumb as they could possibly be
(36:07):
in this day and age.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Man, I'm serious, I'm I'm surprised if there was
someone, somebody on that flightthat literally wanted to
freaking, pulverize this dude.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, but the airlines are going to come after
you for that cost.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Oh, no, no, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, we know that, youknow you're getting into
trouble.
You might have this attitudeand I'm going to do what I want
and blah, blah, blah andwhatever that person's situation
is, but there's some definitelyrepercussions to that situation
financially, right.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
And how about another naked woman man, the one
running around Dallas stabbingpeople and biting them?
Speaker 2 (36:47):
What is it?
What is what's up with thesepeople running around naked in
airports now?
Is this a new thing or what?
And?
But now you start stabbingpeople too and biting them.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I think the only thing I can think is edibles.
We got a drug problem atcheck-in at the airports Because
these people are batshit crazyrunning around doing every week.
Every week, we've had somenaked person running around the
(37:18):
airport you can literally, ifyou google naked people in
airport, there's just like seemslike there's hundreds of people
.
Just I don't understand likewhat is the purpose about
getting naked in the airport?
I don't know yeah it's, it'sweird.
It's like you know, back in, uh, the 70s and stuff, they had
those like streaking was the bigthing, you know, like it was
kind of like a fat, it was likefunny and people were doing it
(37:40):
at like public events and stuff.
But no, these people are justbad shit Crazy.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
That one I still laugh at that one that she was.
She's running around with thatpolice officer and and she was
going up underneath uh all theum, uh, the little um check-in
area and he ended up taking abig dump.
That was hilarious, oh my God,Dude Nasty, but it's crazy.
(38:06):
I mean this is absolutely crazy.
A lot of, just a lot of, uhcrazy naked people running
around airports, I guess.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, you know, in the news lately.
I mean it's either you gotcrazy people or you got this
weird things happening like youknow and you just the world,
it's a world.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Hey, let's talk about the destination.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Destination man.
Destination this week, man.
There's so much to talk aboutthis destination Orlando Florida
.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Love Orlando, Orlando , Florida.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
first of all, there's so much to talk about this
destination orlando, florida,love orlando, orlando, florida.
First of all, I mean, uh, I'vebeen, you know, we've both been
there so many times.
Yep and um, you know they areknown for their theme parks and
the theme parks they're like youknow, disney started that whole
area, you know, bought up allthose hundreds of lands secretly
and all the stuff starteddisney, you know, just it
exploded.
But when you go to to orlandoit is, you know, people all
(38:58):
think about these parks butthere is like thousands and
thousands of things to do otherthan the parks.
Now the parks have grown, youknow, like disney started off it
was just magic kingdom and thenthey grew to like Epcot and
Hollywood studios and animalkingdom and all that stuff there
.
That's their main parks andthey all have their own like
(39:20):
little, uh, beach parks too aswell.
Um, but then you know, universalstudios is growing right now
like big time and people don'trealize that.
But here, here this may 22nd,there's a new universal park
opening up in orlando and, uh,that's, that's called, uh,
universal epic universe and um,I guess it's going to have like
(39:42):
a mario world in there, really,yeah, so they're going to have
all these different, uh you know, section of different things uh
that universal studios are areconnected with.
But they had, you know,universal studios are going to
have now three parks.
So I mean they're giving disneya run for their money.
I mean disney has four,universal has three and they
both have two water parks youknow, you remember, you remember
(40:04):
a thing called soren.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Was that universal?
Soren yeah, soren, it's.
When you went up, they theytook you in an imax and you're
in the center of an IMAX and youactually looked like you were
flying.
That was actually in Epcot.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
It was at Epcot.
Yeah, it's Epcot.
It's in one of those worldsthere.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
They still have it.
Yeah, it's still there.
That is the most incrediblething, man, I mean.
Did you do that?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Yeah, I've done it.
So that whole some somesituation where they put the
giant seats there and you soaracross something.
I also did one outside ofOrlando up in Canada and it was.
It was in Vancouver and it wasthis soaring across Canada and
they you did the same experiencewhere you're like you know it
looks like you're flying and allthat stuff, but in this one was
(40:49):
you were flying across all theprovidences of Canada.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
It was really cool it's so because they what they
do is they, they have um thesmell of the, the trees, and
they, they just pump in thesmells of whatever you're flying
over yeah, like you see waterand they missed you and there.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
So it's like more of a like a 4d experience, like not
only are you doing thisexperience of like sensation of
flying and moving and all thatstuff, you're also having these
like other sensations of thatthat the water and the smells
and all that stuff that was cool.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
And then you know the one I remember, and this is
when jackson was young.
But the one I really rememberwas the crush interactive, did
you?
Okay?
You remember crush?
No, the turtle from Dory.
Oh, yeah, yeah yeah, the hellodude, what you doing, man, right
.
And then, okay, so you go inthere and they had this
(41:40):
interactive with the kids andCrush was like swimming up and
he's like doo-doo-doo-doo-doo,you know, sure.
And he comes up and he's likewhat's up, dude, what's going on
?
And all of a sudden, sudden,he's like talking to kids that
are in the crowd.
Oh, that's cool.
So, yeah, so it was actuallysomebody that was in there could
talk, just like crush and theywere.
They were doing this, thiswhole interactive with the kids,
(42:02):
and he'd swim around and hetalked to another kid or he
talked to a dad and, yeah, itwas really is some of the stuff
they they have in there isreally cool I mean we went to
disney um a year or two ago andtook our nieces there and I mean
it is just mind-blowing thetechnology that's involved with
Disney and you're talking aboutthat interaction.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Like Hollywood Studios, they had a Muppet show,
one where you know you'rebasically on a Muppet show.
Yeah, and you know me, growingup I love the muppets.
Yeah, were you a muppet fan?
oh yeah yeah, I mean, who's not,who wasn't a muppet?
Jim jim hansen was amazing.
But that interactive thingthere in this uh studio is they
(42:45):
get interactive with theaudience and stuff and so the
muppets are actually interactingwith the audience and talking
to the audience and making jokesand putting a spotlight on
different people and things likethat.
It's, it's a it's, it's amazing, but I mean All right your
favorite Muppet.
My favorite Muppet man animal.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
Come on, you know something.
I tell you that I was sittingthere.
I was like there's no way, yeah, animal man, he was mine too.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
Heck yeah, he was a bomb man.
I mean after which would beyour number two.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Number two.
You know, I really neverthought about it.
Animal was always my favorite,so I really never thought about
number two.
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
My number two would be Beaker.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, I like Beaker.
I like Beaker, he's cool.
Speaker 1 (43:26):
Beaker was the Muffet equivalent of Kenny on South
Park.
Exactly, beaker got blew up.
He was always getting blown uphere and there, all that stuff.
Muppets were that.
That physical comedy has got tocome back in the world.
I was thinking about this theother day with my nieces.
We were at a restaurant andthere's pictures of the Three
(43:47):
Stooges and we were talkingabout them and trying to explain
to them about Three Stooges andit was like man, how do you not
know about Three Stooges?
Like we grew up it was like astaple right.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
Oh yeah, little Rascals, three Stooges, it's
like Abbott and Costello, yeahall that stuff was like that was
our jam right there.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
But like these kids are oblivious to this, I'm like
I've got to get you experiencedtoo.
Just, I mean larry curly mo,come on now but I love the
little rascals too.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
That was really good yeah, little rascals.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
I mean all that, all that physical comedy and things
like that were just, you know,we that was priceless do you
remember mom paul kettle?
Yeah, of course.
Okay, all right, I just had tosee, because that that was
really funny too yeah, so, uh,the other thing about um, the
destination orlando too, is notonly disney, and universal has a
park there.
Seaworld has a park and it'skind of like the redhead
(44:36):
stepchild of the parks.
I mean, seaworld's turned intolike a different experience.
When I was growing up it wasall about the sea animals and
you know you can go see thewhales and the dolphins and the
otters and for some reason theotter at every show I went
(44:59):
always got out of the cage andthey're running around the park
chasing the seed.
But uh, it was like.
You know there's thatexperience.
But now the uh sea world hasturned into more of an amusement
park, like it has all theseroller coasters, rides and stuff
that like lots of rides thatare involved in sea world and
stuff.
But they still have the animalsand stuff in the in the tied
into it but they don't.
You know it's just not as uhprevalent because uh, they
stopped all the you know thewhales in the parks and all that
(45:20):
stuff.
You know, so um, pita and allthat stuff was involved with
like getting rid of all thatstuff and getting deterring that
stuff.
But anyways, um, the otherthing that's really, really cool
in disney or at um, orlando,orlando.
You always call Orlando Disneybecause it's so prevalent there
is.
There's so many other places togo outside the parks and one of
(45:43):
the things that we lay over onusually on International Drive.
You've done some stuff onInternational.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Drive, oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Yep International Drive is like what is some stuff
that you've done oninternational drive?
Speaker 2 (45:55):
you know, sean, it's been a while because it's been
with the, with the kids a longtime ago, so I mean it wouldn't
be anything current.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
Yeah so, like, I used to get these like layovers like
I do two days down there andbeing being in orlando every
like once or twice a week, andso I spent a lot of time in
international boulevard, andinternational boulevard has
everything, dude, it has allkinds of like experiences, like
these shops and food and and youcan do a helicopter ride.
You can do, um, madametrudeau's museums there, the
(46:24):
upside down museums there, um,like it's like the whole
building's flipped upside downon the thing, um, it's like it's
wild.
I I mean it's, it's a wild, thewhole road, but it's all kind
of like hidden because it'sFlorida on this, like bushes, it
seems like you know what youcan't see.
Everything is right there, butit's all there.
And uh, one of my big thingsthat um was like a big rage here
(46:47):
recently or in the past history, was escape rooms.
Have you done escape rooms?
Nope, let me tell you, let megive advice to everybody out
there If you like and enjoyescape rooms, you've got to go
to.
The pinnacle of escape rooms isOrlando.
They've taken it to a wholeother level that you can never,
ever experience anywhere else.
(47:07):
I mean, it's become anamusement park, these escape
rooms, and they were so popularat one time Disney was trying to
.
They were thinking aboutincorporating this into Disney
somehow.
Really yeah, but theirtechnology and what they're
doing in these escape rooms noware so impressive and the
scenarios and stuff and storiesare great.
(47:29):
You don't have to be with agroup to go you can go by
yourself.
I did that myself.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
I just went by myself , joined another group and you
know you do the 68 rooms of onehour experience.
So how?
Speaker 1 (47:41):
many people are in a group usually it depends on the
room and the experience.
Like one, one of the very highlevel rooms, because they have
them measured in differentlevels um, like there was a
maximum on five people could bein the room, okay, so I was in
there it was me and two couplesand we were in a very, extremely
hard escape room that you hadto get out of one hour and uh,
we barely did it but we got itand we got done with it and uh,
(48:05):
it was, um, it was like a nextlevel escape room.
It was a um, a werewolf thingwhere you were like in a cabin
and aware in out in the woodsand the whole experience start
where you're like in this cabinand it's pitch black and it is.
It is wild because they hadlike all kinds of freaky things
Like you're, once you find likesome light and figure out, find
(48:26):
some keys and there's likelittle holes and things you go
into and there'd be like youknow they'd make sounds and grab
.
You know they'd make sounds andyou know stuff would like grab,
grab at you at the like it was.
It was wild man.
It was like or like air wouldblow on you and you like scared
the crap out of you, like thatwould be fun but, it was just
really cool.
But to get to my point,universal I mean international
(48:46):
drive has so many experiencesand there's other experiences
there outside of the parks, likedisney springs with Disney has
their whole area.
That is like literally a city.
And back in the day it wascalled something else.
I can't remember the name of it, but it was.
They had started off as anightclub area, like for adults.
(49:07):
In the evening you can go inand like from five to midnight.
This thing turned into like aparty zone, but it was like a
Disney party zone, so they hadall these different types of
clubs and stuff like that.
But then they changed this wholearea into the city.
So now it's this familyexperience where you can go
there with you know food andthere's shows to see, there's
(49:27):
you know, there's not so manyclubs necessarily, but there's
experiences and stuff that youcan go into.
They have those, like now, 3drooms and stuff where you can go
in and like put on these 3dequipment.
There's a virtual equipment andyou're as a team in the room
and you're all doing this wholeventure, whether you're shooting
aliens and stuff, but you're ina big open space with this
equipment on.
You can just see everybodythrough virtual reality.
(49:49):
It's pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
Orlando has something for everybody, right?
Speaker 1 (49:53):
yeah, I mean it's, it's something for everybody
there, and then universal hastheir own city too, now called
universal city walk, anduniversal city walk is the same
thing, but it's all theuniversal stuff in the city and
the same thing, kind of likeparallel to what disney springs
is, but just they've got allthose different experiences and
activities for you to do giantarcades you know four, four
(50:16):
story arcades where you can goin there and pay one price and
you're just doing all kinds ofcrazy stuff, kind of like a Dave
and Buster's type of thing.
But I mean it's just unlimited.
In Orlando, what all the thingsyou can do, not to mention
outside of the resorts.
You've got all the hotels andyou got golfing and food, and
even downtown Orlando is likeamazing.
There's just so many things totalk about with Orlando.
(50:38):
I mean you just got to.
It's amazing.
But there's only there's somuch food there.
There's no sense in even tryingto like, pick, you know, any
food to talk about.
There's no specific food to goto.
But there is one place that Igot to tell you about that I
think that you would really love, and it's a place called the
hash house and it's oninternational Boulevard.
(50:59):
I found this last time I wasdown there with my niece and
nephew and the hash house islike this breakfast breakfast
experience.
Like you go there and you'regoing to get a put a pancake.
You order one pancake.
The pancake is going to comeout.
It's like I would say like it'stwice the size of the plate
that they serve it on.
I mean it's ridiculous.
(51:20):
I mean the size of the food andall this stuff.
They got people going aroundtalking to the kids, making
balloons and all kinds of stuff.
It's really cool.
It's a cool place.
But the Hash House isdefinitely a place that you have
a time and there's hundreds ofplaces to get food and breakfast
and dinner and lunch and allthat stuff.
But the hash house is reallycool.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
Well, you can understand why Orlando flights
are always packed, right, I meanthey're they're packed all the
time because this is a familydestination and there is
something for everyone.
Speaker 1 (51:53):
There's not a room.
I mean all those miracleflights we do down there and you
know it is a cool destinationand there's something there for
everybody.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
All right, man.
Well, listen, here is the quotefor the week.
Too often we underestimate thepower of a touch, a smile, a
kind word, a listening ear andan honest compliment or the
smallest act of caring, all ofwhich has the potential to turn
a life around.
Amen.
(52:21):
You know, in our job we saythis all the time people travel.
Most of the people that wecould come across are traveling
for the first time and theairports are the most
frustrating place to be and,trust me, I understand that I'm
in those every single day.
So, just as a crew member,those one percenters, take that
(52:44):
in consideration when you'recoming across some of these
passengers.
We realize some of them are alittle bit upset, but sometimes
there's a reason.
So just take a minute, try tomake somebody's day and make
yours a little bit better.
But hey, listen.
Hey, sean had a lot of fun thisweek.
You guys have a great week.
It was a lot of fun here oncabin pressure.
Speaker 1 (53:03):
A lot of fun.
We will see you next time oncabbage pressure.
We got some fun stuff coming uphere in the future and uh look
forward to uh talking to youguys about it.
