Ever wondered why you feel bloated for days after a flight? Turns out your body takes a full seven days to expel all the gas from flying—just one of many surprising revelations in this eye-opening episode about what really happens at 35,000 feet.
We dive into the truth about airline food and why it tastes so strange (hint: your taste buds partially go numb during flights). Flight attendants share their insider knowledge about which foods to absolutely avoid on planes—with Chinese food topping the "never eat this" list—and why even seemingly healthy options are loaded with hidden salt, sugar, and fat. Those steel-cut oats with mango sauce? Nutritional disaster. That tiny bag of trail mix? Contains a shocking 18 grams of sugar.
The conversation takes a more serious turn when we discuss how airline crew members absorb more radiation than an X-ray with each flight, accumulating significant exposure over their careers. "I'm probably as green as your shirt right now," jokes one host about the potential cumulative effects.
We share the bizarre story of a 76-year-old woman stranded in Puerto Rico when her emotional support parrot was denied boarding for her return flight, plus the time pilots nearly turned a plane around after passengers airdropped nude photos to the cockpit.
For travelers headed to Minneapolis, we offer insights about the massive Mall of America and recommend trying the region's famous "Juicy Lucy" stuffed burgers—where cheese melts inside the patty rather than sitting on top.
Whether you're a frequent flyer looking to make smarter food choices or simply curious about the hidden side of air travel, this episode will forever change how you think about your in-flight experience.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
A 76-year-old and her emotional support parrot gets
grounded Literally.
Why your in-flight omelettastes like cardboard with a
hint of turbulence, thelegendary Juicy Lucy Burger and
Minnesota's Best Bites.
Flying turns you into a cosmicray sponge.
Don't worry, you're still safe,mostly so.
(00:24):
Buckle up, put your tray tablesin the upright position and
prepare for takeoff.
We're cruising through laughs,travel tales and enough snacks
options to fill a carry-on.
Let's fly.
Prepare for takeoff.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Hey, everyone welcome .
This is cabin pressure hey,what's people?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It is cabin pressure time.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You know, every week now I wait for your new little
intro.
I'm not shitting you, I do.
I wait for your new littlefunny intro.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Hey, we got to change it up, man.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I love that man.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It sets the level of energy.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
But it's you, though, see, these guys don't know,
they don't know, I know but, itis you.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It's 100% you.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's what I said about loving this.
The further we get into cabinpressure, the more our
personalities come out.
Like you calling me out lastweek, which was bullshit about
talking.
Don't think I forgot about that, man.
I mean, you know I'm comingback after you for that one,
right?
So what's been up, man, shootman.
(01:48):
I again doing a multiple daytrips, but you know what?
The one thing I said about ourindustry is?
You know, the operation of offlying, uh, it's like playing a
game of chess.
I I say this all the time,right, flying is like playing a
game of chess.
The way that our operation runsand scheduling puts crews, it's
like taking three pieces of thechessboard and throwing the
(02:11):
shit underneath the couch andthen starting the day.
Right, because most of the timewhen they move you around,
sometimes you're a king or queen, right, your day gets really
good, and then other days you'rejust the freaking pawn that
they move from place to place tofill a spot and at the end of
the day in the airline industry,there's three spots still
(02:33):
missing and the shit starts allover again and the game never
finishes.
That's the industry.
So this week, I mean, I wasking.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No, I wasn't.
Most of the time there weremore pawns, more pawns, austin.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Always pawns.
That's right.
That's why I said about thegame why were you a king?
Okay, so I was on a three-daytrip and we got into Denver and
we were on the Airbus and theyhad a maintenance Airbus.
You know how the Airbus?
Right, if Airbus goes down.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Not a fan.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, I know, but if it goes down it cancels.
So it canceled and we weresupposed to actually go to Indy
and then come back to Denver thenext morning.
Canceled, Stayed in Denver,Started in Denver Next day.
26 and a half hours I think itwas spent in Denver.
All right, Way better trip.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah yeah, better trip.
Yeah yeah, it's fun, you know,when those uh changes in your uh
freaking schedule, changes likethat and you got those longer
layovers and stuff I mean, andit just is like those hard
working trips to this, like nowI got it like nice chill layover
but those don't they always got.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
They come when you don't expect right, because we
had no clue.
On this one we we had no ideaat all got a modification, had
no clue that it was coming.
But when you want it, that oneminute difference never happens.
You become the pawn.
You're sliding right over intoanother position.
But it was good.
I mean, the day went a lotbetter ended up heading down to
(04:00):
Cancun.
Cancun is always interestingpassengers from different
destinations.
That went pretty good.
And then you know you have tosit down in that customs area
because nobody wants to clearcustoms now.
So we sit in that littlehallway until the flight comes
in.
Good trip, though, I meanthree-day trip and then back to
the turns.
So what about you?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Man, you know, just wrapping up life here, Went over
to Indiana this last weekendand doing our visit over there
with the mother-in-law and allthat stuff.
She's 94.
And yeah, we're just, you know,doing things in life like that.
But something really funhappened when we were over there
(04:44):
.
Uh, because my niece is there,I have one that's five and one
seven, and one of my nieces shewas, uh, she has, she has a
birthday party coming up and sonext few weeks or whatever,
we're going to go back over forher birthday party, and so she
was giving out invitations andeverything and she said so, my
wife, my wife is, she justturned 60, which, you know, 60
(05:05):
is a hard number.
You know everybody has adifficult you know when they hit
?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Damn, you are so in trouble.
You just told her age.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
It's OK, she ain't going to be on the show and
never.
I'm going to tell her and so,and then, and then I'm 59.
Ok, so you know, this is, thisis age, and we have our little
niece and nephew and the visionof a child is just precious
Right.
So she was telling the storyand she was like, yeah, you know
(05:36):
, my aunt Carol, she's like 50years old and my uncle Sean is
like he's 30?
She's like 50 years old.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And my uncle Sean is like he's 30.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
She looked at you and said 30 and everybody,
everybody was just like.
I mean, she like told thisstory so many times.
It was like it was so funny tohear and like their perspective
of like how they, how they seeage.
You know, and it is, you know,there's like one year difference
in our age but, um, it's justbecause of our attitudes, you
know, because Carol take backher present you know, she said
she's not going to go to herbirthday party, so then the
(06:16):
whole weekend so the wholeweekend she just kept trying to,
like you know, like to getherself on the good side, like,
change her story up throughoutthe weekend when she's talking
about different stories, becausemy wife just kept bringing it
up.
Yeah, what did you say I was?
How old did you say I was?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I bet you ran with that one too.
Oh yeah, Saying you were 30years old.
Yeah, that's a stretch.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, it's all in the mind, man, it's all in your
mind.
In your mind, your mind wouldbe about 12.
Then, hey, stay young at mind.
That's all I have to say toeverybody, because I'm telling
you the body goes to shit, butdon't let the mind go.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
These people don't even know you.
That's why I said all you haveto do is listen to the entrance
of this.
This is truly you anymore.
I mean he's 100% a goofball.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Hey, you do anything you got to make life good fun.
You know, don't be all, don'tget too serious.
That's my two cents for the day.
But the other thing is that,man, I finally got my office
finished.
I got it all done back in ourspace and we're back in our the
(07:25):
studios, back in the office now.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
He's not kidding man, it really looks.
They did a good job.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, I mean, it's a.
It took some time.
I mean it's just a long, slowprocess.
And we had that heavy rain andeverything the other day and I
opened my window here and I'm onmy windowsill here and in my
new office, um, some rain camethrough because I had window
open.
But I didn't realize.
Oh wait, I had the window openand then I looked down on the
(07:51):
seal of the thing and there'sthis like pot of water.
I'm like son of a bitch, don'tyou?
I just finished this thing.
Do not give me some leak anddamage on this, but it was just
my fault because I opened thewindow, but uh, it was.
It was, uh, it's so good to beback into my space and stuff but
uh, I'm sitting there thinkingyou, you self-blamed, you did it
(08:12):
yourself yeah, I totally did itmyself and I looked at it and I
had to think about it.
Is this really a leak or there'ssomething stupid?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I did it was something stupid we do a lot of
stupid things as we get older.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You can do that, man, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I told you I just did a stupid thing with the show.
I was on the show, had the showcompletely written out, ready
to go and you text me.
Hey brother, what's up?
I need the notes.
Shit Freaking, left them on aplane in the jump seat and gone.
Yeah, man, that was like gone.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
That is the worst.
I mean, I'm telling you howmany times have we been on a
plane and we left something?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
That, but you know, it can be anything.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I mean, I know you just did your notes, yeah, but
this one was bad.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I mean because it's like the day before we're
supposed to come in the officeand do this and I left the shit
on the plane.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Dude.
I mean I don't know how manytimes I've left stuff on a plane
.
It's normally like my panic isalways like something technology
, like I love my iPad, I love myiPhone, I love my freaking, you
know, like whatever on theplane and you like just have
like this sinking feeling ofloss, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But okay, but that you have your personal sinking
feeling, right.
My sinking feeling is not justme, but you're on the other end
going tick, tick, tick, tick andI'm like you're like waiting
for the notes and the notes arenever going to come.
And you're like, yeah, ourasses are getting old.
(09:40):
But yeah, that was the no funfor me was leaving my notes in
the jump seat.
No fun at all.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
No fun at all, man.
I mean, it's freakingridiculous.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So what's?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
been going on in the news.
News man, did you hear aboutthat lady?
She's stuck in Puerto Ricobecause she took down an
emotional support animal thatwas a parrot and they won't let
her return.
How'd she get it down there,though?
The airline actually flew herdown on the plane with the
parrot and she got down topuerto rico and when she got
(10:14):
there, um, she was planning on,you know, she had done her visit
, whatever, and she's comingback in the airline.
And when she got to the airport, they denied her to go on the
plane and, uh, the reason wasthey said that it was her pet,
was not checked properly.
So, for whatever reason, she'slike I'm not leaving my pet,
(10:35):
like this is my emotionalsupport animal or whatever, and
I want to bring my parrot, andI've had this parrot for X
amount of years and I want you,you know.
So she's stuck down there andit's and it's making every news
outlet out there has beenrunning this story and it's it's
wild, but is that?
legal though I guess I mean, uh,I mean you can have an
(10:57):
emotional support parrot.
Yeah, really, I mean there's.
There is a lot of like.
If you look in the emotionalsupport animal list that each
airline, they have like a listof all their different animals
that they'll accept Right, andbirds are one of them.
Really.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But yeah, I mean, parents could be mean.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Parents could be mean man, Especially if they're not
let back in the United States.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Have you?
Have've seen the funny ones nothe ones that try to bite you.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Oh, those son of bitches, I mean, they're bad.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I've seen that one video with the one that the
guy's smashing the cage and theparrot's like cursing him out.
Do you see that one?
He's like son of a, you know.
Oh, my God, that was hilariouswhen animals talk.
It was just so funny.
The guy's like smashing theparrot's old cage and the
parrot's just completely cursinghim out.
It was hilarious.
That's awesome.
Yeah, I just keep watching thatone.
(11:49):
But you know, I came acrossthis story and I thought this
was funny too, back in 22,.
You know they were talkingabout the air raids, the drunk
passengers, wing walkers, andthey talked about this one and I
thought this was hilarious.
Someone was airdropping nudesto the pilots.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh, that is priceless man, I mean so when did this
happen?
A while ago, or was this recent, in 22,?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
yeah, but you know how we talk about incidents
today, but then we also talkabout funny stories.
Years ago that happened.
But I thought about theairdropping and you know just to
talk about that a little bit onthe show today, because this
was freaking hilarious.
These guys were ready to turnthe plane around because they
were getting nude pics airdropto their their phones from
(12:39):
someone in the back.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So, technology wise, I mean, I'm asking that question
because you know, in today'sworld and technology and stuff
like airdrop right now, you canlike restrict it.
You can only restrict it tolike only the people you know,
or you can open it up to thepublic.
You know it's a settings inyour phone but you know, when an
airdrop first started it waslike open to everybody and so,
um uh, I used to get airdroppedon the phone on the plane.
(13:03):
You've never been airdropped no,no yeah, yeah, like I'd be
sitting there and my phonedidn't had it open and then all
of a sudden, like it was likebling and people would like send
you normally picture pictures,right, and uh, um, I got these
like pictures of, like likethese aliens with, like they
look like a little maggot withlike eight arms and glasses, and
(13:24):
you know, like or or like, um,one time dude, like or somebody,
I don't know if it's girl orguy aaron dropped me a picture
of like this dude.
Uh, fucking santa, cause I'mtelling you like that is the
crazy ass shit that happens,like they'll send you these like
obscure, crazy, weird pictures.
(13:48):
You got a picture of what yeahSay that again it's this dude
and Santa's bent over and he'sscrewing Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What kind of weird, freaking crazy-ass mind would
ever even take that picture?
Your ass needs to go throughthe plane and get them off.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
That's the point of this whole airdrop.
It's like anonymous.
And so you know, what wasreally interesting is like in
the social world of everything,like people would do this in
clubs.
Like I was out in a club backin the day, right, and when this
airdrop first happened, andyou'd be in a club and people
would literally airdrop peoplein the club, so they'd they'd
(14:29):
like scroll on their airdrop tosee all these people that are on
the on the contact list of theairdrop and they would try to
figure out who it is and then,like they drop, drop a nude pic
of themselves or something youknow.
Like it was just weird, it wasjust a bizarre.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
See, I could see you going into the cockpit and the
captain going.
Sean, go back and ID thisperson.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, but the the hard thing is is really it was.
It was anonymous, like youcould not figure out who it was
that it was coming from, Causenormally it wasn't like a name,
that was, it wasn't like an earand put their name and address
on the damn thing they're.
It wasn't like they're going toput their name and address on
the damn thing.
It's going to be like someobscure or it's not going to be
labeled at all.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But yeah, airdropping is a weird thing.
I just thought it was hilariousthat these guys would have
turned the airplane back around.
Pilots, old days.
No, they ain't turning it backaround.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
First of all, come on , how's that?
Interfering the flight?
Like quit?
Answering it?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
yeah, like literally you didn't have to.
Don't answer the phone, turnyour damn phone off.
You shouldn't be on your phone,right, right, I mean, why are
you on your phone in flight?
That would be the firstquestion, right?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
yeah, especially if you turned it around, you had to
like write this thing, hold thewhole thing up.
That's crazy man, but anyways,uh, other thing that's happening
in the news is, you know, kcmis getting ready to change
Really and they're getting readyto get rid of KCM and I guess
they're going to start a new KCMprogram.
And the reason why they'redoing this is because there's so
(15:57):
many crews violating the rulesof KCM and you know myself and I
know you as well, have seencrew members do some stupid ass
shit.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
They have ruined this .
I mean, we've seen this notjust us, but they've seen it in
the news how crew members havedone the dumbest things right.
They get involved with thesedrug running.
They get involved with, youknow, taking money.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Black market stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And that's at the high end.
But see, what we're talkingabout is the low-end stupidity.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, yeah, I think the program should be called
Weeding Out the Stupid.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Perfect.
That's absolutely perfect,because we got some really dumb
people that go through KCM.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, I mean, you know there's obvious things that
you can't bring through KCM.
One like you can't bring otherpeople's shit, you can't bring
knives, you can't bring guns,you can't bring all this stuff.
But we know employees ourselvesthat have done this, Like
they've actually taken steakknives through the KCM or taken
like you know they'll take thesilverware that's off the
aircraft and they bring thesemetal knives and stuff and put
(17:04):
it in their lunch bag.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
A butter knife is not allowed the.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
the thing about it is that I, I, you it's just
because it's a company has it onthe plane doesn't mean that
you're allowed to bring itthrough security.
There's a lot of stuff on theplane that we can't bring
through security, but it'salready been screened prior to
In other areas of the airport tobe allowed on the plane.
So that doesn't give you theability to have that permission
(17:29):
to bring that stuff through.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
But you see these real dumb people.
How did you accidentally bringa gun through KCM?
How did you accidentally putammunition?
Now, I know you and I know memy bags.
Never would a gun, anyammunition, anything be anywhere
near my flight bags Anywhere.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Dude.
First of all, I don't use thesame bags for my guns and my
daily travel, like I don'tnon-rev with the same bag that
I'm going to be taking on myhunting trip.
You know what I mean?
It's just they're just twodifferent things.
I mean you, just you should be.
I understand, economicallyspeaking.
You know everybody doesn't havethe ability to have all these
(18:13):
like different bags and all thisstuff.
But you got to start thinking,hey, um, you know, don't get
caught.
But this new program, if you getcaught, you're now going to be
suspended from the program andthey have not said how long.
It could be years, I mean.
They're talking about likeliterally withdrawn.
You will be going throughsecurity like everybody else
coming into work.
(18:34):
It's going to be a definite.
I mean there's going to be alot of people and and the funny
thing to me is like there's onething to be random, you know,
but it's going to end up thatwe're going to start seeing the
same people coming throughsecurity, like we're going to be
going through the KCM system,whatever that is, and then
you'll have the the line ofstupid.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, you know, when you, when you uh was talking
about this.
I go through every day.
I know most of our TSA people,um, and and our airport and you
know they're they're just doingtheir job.
But, man, this is a benefitthat the airline crews have had
and and it they always ruin it.
Yeah, they always ruin it, theydo.
(19:13):
It's always somebody.
It's like that one percent thatwe said that's on the airplane
that we don't want to fly with.
There's also that one percentof stupidity that goes through
kcm, but there's probably a fewmore percentage than one percent
yeah, I mean, my thing is thatI hate that the few screwed up
for the many.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
You know, like you, you can't.
You know you got to startthinking about just you know you
need to start a little bit morethan just yourself.
You know, I mean people.
Just you got to stop and thinkabout this stuff.
This is a privilege and, um,you know, quit fucking it up.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, Well, their privilege is soon to change.
So, hey, let's talk about, uh,the airline food man.
Your favorite topic is you loveto eat on layovers?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Well, before we talk about that, I want to talk about
one last thing about in thenews and that kind of like
applies to this show, and thatis employees and social media
and how the stigma of this, thecompany's riddled fear into the
poise to not come on our show.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
We've been talking about that and we talked to a
lot of crew members all the time.
You guys realize this on ourshow.
This is not about an airline, aspecific airline.
These are incidents that happenon airlines.
These are accidents that happenon airlines.
These are accidents that happenon airlines.
These are funny things thathappen on airlines.
(20:41):
These are things that you guysare not privy to.
That goes on in the galleys inairlines.
We will never be airlinespecific about anything.
You've never heard us talkabout a specific airline.
But we do laugh and talk aboutincidents on airlines and that's
what we.
That's what we wanted to bringto you.
We wanted to bring what we talkabout in the galley to your
(21:02):
house.
So don't ever be afraid ofcoming on a show and talking
about these, because they'rejust funny things that people
talk about every single day.
But we're not talking about aspecific airline.
We would never we'll do that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Well, one of the things that I, you know, the
points I want to make out ofhere is that, you know,
companies have installed thislike instilled this fear into
employees, and they've got thesesocial media policies that if
you, if you do something I meanI mean like the girl twerking in
the back of the you know plane,on the plane that got fired you
know all these little thingsthat you do in social media the
(21:39):
company's trying to keep face,trying to make themselves
professional and all that stuff,and I get that.
But at the same time, itshouldn't be suppressing your
First Amendment rights, like youshould be able to talk about
what you do and the experiencesof what you do and how you did
that, and I don't think you needto be afraid, especially when
it comes to our show is you willnot be afraid of ever talking
(22:01):
about what we do, and this is agreat opportunity, I'm telling
you, uh, for all those listenersthat are out there.
Just, you know it, it's alsotherapeutic to be able to talk
these things out and talk aboutit in open, where we've never
been able to do that.
And we protect you by keepingthis whole thing generic, as
(22:23):
it's just airline talk, and soone of the things about I just
hate that people are not like.
I really think that one of thebest parts of our show is when
we did have guests on that.
They're just talking and beingcandid about their experiences
and stuff.
It's super interesting.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Right, but I do understand on the airline part
of it.
As far as the industry and thebusiness itself, if you are in
your uniform and you are ontheir aircraft taking a video on
their aircraft, I do understandthat.
I mean, I get that becauseyou're not supposed to be doing
that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
They tell you that from the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You're never going to see me and you in our uniform
on board an aircraft taking avideo or taking pictures doing
anything like that and seeing iton our show.
You're not going to see thatbecause we know what we're
allowed and what we're notsupposed to do in social media
and we just want people tounderstand is that, especially
with our show, we want you tocome on the show to talk about
these funny, funny things thathappen on airplanes.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah.
I mean that I'm alwayssurprised when I see and usually
see young new crew members thatare doing that, that taking
those pictures, and you knowthey're excited, they're happy
to be at work and they're takingpictures of themselves and and
some of lot of it.
The majority of it is positiveand the companies probably do
want that type of advertisementfor them.
(23:40):
you know, because you're the youin flight attendants, we are
the face of the airlinesabsolutely, we are the frontline
employee of the airline, sopeople are seeing us more than
they they see anybody else.
And we're also like, because ofour um area of employment.
You know people are, you know,they fantasize about that.
(24:01):
That being that, you know, oh,wouldn't be cool to be a flight
attendant, and all that.
You know all that.
Whatever this, whatever thosedreamers are, they're dreaming.
But uh, yeah, I mean you, justyou've got to uh you know what's
funny, though, sean?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I mean not to interrupt you, you, but even
with social media, because a lotof times I don't comment on any
of it, but I actually like toscroll it just because, with the
show, I like to see what peopleare talking about they were
talking about.
It was funny.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
this week they had a whole blog thing that they were
talking about people that werewearing pajamas on airplanes,
and remember we did that podcastearly on and that was fun, it
was enlightening, it was like wehad a good time with it and we
(24:49):
talk about past years in thegalley all the time right.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That's the whole purpose.
That's what this show is about.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It's what gets talked in the galley all the time,
every single day.
Nobody, you can use a differentname.
We didn't, you know, johnnyrocket?
We don't care exactly like youjust, but we'd like to get those
(25:17):
experiences out there because Ithink the world would like to
hear these stories, and they do.
They enjoy them because ourshow's doing well, yeah, anyway.
So back to the.
What we're talking about youstarted talking about was the
airline food airline food.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Man, I, you know, we, we talk about a lot of
different things, but you know Iwanted to talk about this
because passengers, you know youneed to know a little bit about
the airline food and why do youfeel the way you feel after you
eat certain things on anairplane?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
So why am I farting?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
That's a big one, right.
That's a big one, right.
I mean, truthfully, it is sucha big one because, do you know?
Do you know how long it takesfor for gas to really get out of
your body after you fly?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It's like seven days, sean, seven days.
Seven days actually expel allthe gas, all the gas pressures,
from the flying.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
So I would never know how I feel not bloated because
I'm on that plane every day.
I was thinking about that.
I'm like I'm.
I feel bloated every day andthe only time that I don't feel
it is when I'm off for vacation.
If I'm off for like 10 days orsomething like that for a
vacation, then all of a sudden Icompletely deflate and I don't
(26:30):
feel any of that gas in yourbody anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, I mean, that is the worst experience as a
flight attendant.
Like, if you, you know, Iremember in my career where,
like, I was not really aware ofthat bloating and that I just
kept getting that sensation oflike you know, all that pressure
and stuff built up on you andit's not like you don't always
release it.
Right, that you know, so thatthat pressure isn't just an
(26:53):
always an immediate release oflike you're gonna belch or get
or fart or something like that.
It's gonna be like you justhave that bloated feeling.
And I didn't.
I didn't identify with that fora long time and then, when I
finally did, then I startedreally watching, like what am I
eating?
What am you know?
Do I need to be taking medicinefor this or something you know?
Because I mean, like taking gasx before a flight is actually
(27:16):
super helpful it is.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
But you know you still get bloated, because I've
tried that too, and and and youstill get bloated.
I understand that.
But you know, even when you eathealthy, believe it or not,
you're going to get bloated,even eating healthy well, eating
health is actually worse.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, because of the organics and the naturalness of
your body digesting and all thatstuff.
So the healthier you eat, themore the gas effect is going to
happen and, uh, you know, flyingwith that the whole situation
is, it can be painful at times Ithought so let's run through a
little bit of uh fun with thebreakfast.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
okay, so we're going to run through the breakfast,
lunch and dinner, kind of coverit a little bit and what we
think about the food in those.
Okay, so the majority of partsof the breakfast you get the
eggs, yeah, sausage, right.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And now they're throwing some spinach in there
Spinach yeah, some peppers.
Oh, and then you get potatoes.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yep potatoes, and then you're going to throw all
(28:42):
that on again, dose it all withsome carbonated beverages
Because of the air pressure, theairflow, dehydration, all these
reasons of why it kind of yourtaste buds go down in flight.
Yeah, they're saying in this.
As I research some of thisstuff is that your taste buds in
flight, you know, theypartially go numb because of the
dry air and stuff like you'reseeing, pressurization in the
cabin, but also airlines alsoheighten the salt content just
to compensate for that.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I know, and that's the other part.
That's why.
That's why I want to talk aboutfood so much, because the
number one things that you'llsee in these is salt, sugar and
butter.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, I mean, if you want to know why it tastes the
way it tastes salt, sugar,butter yeah the one thing is
that, like I'm I am the uhnon-rev um a traveler that when
I get up, you know I don't eaton the plane.
Like that is not my.
The only reason why I'm gonnaever eat on a plane is if that
I'm traveling, I don't have alot of time and I gotta grab
(29:31):
something to go, type of thing,and I gotta bring it on the
plane to eat.
But normally I grab somethingoff the plane and eat it,
because the food on the planeit's crap.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
But we're going to still talk about that too,
because even what you eat offthe plane and you come back on
the plane, how you're going tofeel afterwards, or sitting on
that plane, you've got to becareful, because are you flying
for two hours, four hours,whatever it is, it's going to
affect your body.
That food that you ate off theplane is going to affect it on
that plane too.
(30:01):
But anyway, like I said, we'regoing to go to the breakfast.
So we know that the eggs, it'sall butter.
You've got the fat with thebacon, you've got the
carbohydrates with the potatoes,and then you've got the spinach
, which is going to blow you uplike the Willy Wonka Chocolate
Factory, little girl.
All those things are going toblow you up.
So then you go to Veruca salt.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's right.
It's the Veruca salt on yourbody I love that too.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
But you go back and then you look at the steel-cut
oats.
Oh yeah, Okay.
So you're thinking this is ahealthy thing, right, but on the
outskirts of that steel-cutoats and in the middle of that
steel-cut oats is it's a um you,you have a mango sauce yeah all
sugar, right, all sure.
(30:50):
Then you have chips of mangoes,then you have kiwi which is good
, the kiwi's good.
But then you have chips andmangoes.
Then you have kiwi which isgood, the kiwi's good.
But then you have cashewsthrown in there, yeah, nuts and
a big thing of fat.
So when you're looking at thisyou're thinking, well, yeah,
this is really good, but it'snot good for you.
No, I mean, the steel-cut oatsare good for you with the chia
seeds, that's good.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
But as soon as you add the mango sauce and all that
, then and and they just jackedit all up, yeah, I mean, that's
what the oliver food is like,right, they um add additives to
make it taste better.
And once you make, you want touh, you know, because even
eating good food nor isn'talways the best you know
tasteful thing, right, like itdoesn't taste great, but it does
(31:36):
.
But in order to eat that stuff,some we like compensate by
adding on this extra bullshityeah, no, yeah, butter.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Like I said, if you look at most of those, most of
those meals, they're gonna seelike a sauce on the side of it.
But then also it depends on howthe flight attendants cook them
, because you know there'sflight attendants that will will
cook meals and they'll bake thecrap out of those meals.
I mean there's no freakingsauce left.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Let's talk about flight attendants cooking.
They suck man.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
They will kill meals, they will absolutely kill them.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
This reminds me of the like.
You know, everybody thinks thata flight attendant goes through
training and we're going to.
You know, this is part of whatwe're going to be trained on how
to cook a meal in flight andall that stuff and I'm going to
tell you right now we spend zerotime in training, training on
how to cook a meal in a flight.
I mean, there was never, ever,any instructions on like given
to me, in that They've always,like you know, it's just follow
(32:28):
the package, follow whateverthey tell you to do.
You know, if it says warm it upfor 20 minutes, warm it up for
20 minutes, warm it up for youknow like.
But then what happens is allthe flight attendants and we
know this, it's like you knowyou get the flight attendant is
like they just put the meals inthere and throw it on for 30
minutes.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
They don't care what's on top, what's on the
bottom.
It gets hotter on top.
And here's the other thing.
Here's a big FYI.
It's already cooked, yeah,already cooked, yeah, it's just
being warmed.
All you're doing is justwarming it up.
So here's a little FYI.
There's two buttons on there.
There's a 350 and a 250.
Hit the 250, turn it on for 20minutes and let it warm up.
(33:04):
Because, let me tell yousomething, you do not need to
freaking fry this food.
The food is already cooked,people.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I have flight attendants out there that I know
that I fly with, that I willnot let them cook Like.
I will literally be like can Ijust get my crew, I'll cook this
myself, you know, like, becauseI know they're going to screw
it all up.
I mean, there's one flightattendant I know.
Every time she gets on a plane,every meal, she just throws
everything in there and sheflips it on for 30, 40 minutes.
(33:34):
Right, it comes out burnt andcrusty and I'm like and then you
got to serve this stuff to thepassengers.
And if you're working with thatperson and we're doing like the
service together up in firstclass, it is like it's
embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
you're like oh, I wouldn't eat this okay, we have
sandwiches on board the aircraftthat we serve a beef sandwich
right there.
I see them cook that with thesame heat on on the other meals
instead of just taking them andput them with the bread and all
you have to do is warm them upfor 10 minutes.
10 minutes, and then when theyput their finger on the bread,
(34:10):
it's actually soft.
Yeah, instead of some croutonthat you just made into their
beef sandwich.
It's absolutely horrible andwe've both seen this.
They destroy, I mean sometimes,airline meals.
They're not the best anywayright, there, I mean they're
regulated.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
The point of what we're talking about.
Yeah, they're not edible.
Yeah they're.
They're edible and they'reprobably not the best content
for you, but there's somethingto sustain you till you get to
your next destination, type ofthing if flight attendants, the
majority of us, we don't eatthem, right, we do not only at
the last.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I mean, if it's only the last thing that we have and
and we're starving, will we eatthat airplane food?
Because we we know that it'spreservative, packed um a bunch
of sodium and fat and everythingelse yeah, it's gonna bloat the
shit out of you.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I mean that's horrible.
I mean most of the meals andstuff that were on there, that's
good.
That's the effect, and you knowit's one thing.
When you're a passenger and youeat this and you're going from
point A to point B but we'redoing that two, three, four
times a day up and down anaircraft and going up in
pressure and down in pressure, Imean it has a totally different
effect on our bodies versusjust a passenger that's doing
(35:17):
one flight.
You know like it is.
You know you got to watch whatyou're doing as a flight
attendant because if not you'regoing to have your co-workers
saying, damn, will you quitfarting, You're killing me, man.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
You do blow up, but okay, you're going to agree with
me on this one.
Okay, out of Mexico when youcome and get those sandwiches in
the back of the aircraft justhappened a few days ago, so we
were getting these sandwichesFirst of all.
What's turkey ham?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Turkey ham sandwiches First of all.
What's turkey ham?
Turkey ham First of all.
Deli meat in Mexico is justfirst of a no-go.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Okay, you didn't explain what the hell is turkey
ham?
How do you cross ham and aturkey?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Well, you put them in this pin together and you got
this turkey and this pig I don'tknow Exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I'm sitting there thinking turkey ham what the
hell is that?
First of all.
So then we had these sandwichesand nobody, nobody purchased
any of them, and and so I waslike, okay, I got to see this.
So I opened up the bag and thenI opened up the sandwich.
Sean, I'm not kidding you,there was one slice of this
turkey ham folded over sideways,so it was probably about an
(36:27):
inch wide right.
So there was this goo goo ofcheese just oozing out the side.
I opened this up.
Do you remember the where's thebeef commercial?
Yeah, okay, that was.
That was the.
Exactly where's the beef?
Because?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
as soon as where it's .
Where's the turkey ham?
Where's the turkey ham?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
It's like a strip of this shit in the back of it and
this gooed up mess of cheesethat was out.
And you're charging thesepeople this astronomical amount
of money for this shitty assfood that's going to make them
blow up.
And if you took the, here's thebest part.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
When I took the sandwich completely apart
because I want to see what wasleft with turkey ham and actual
bread it looked like the size ofa hot dog.
Dude.
Let's just start right now.
There should be like a 1000tariff on turkey ham, this
shouldn't even enter thefreaking country.
I mean, what, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I have no idea.
That's what I'm saying,especially when you're going out
of some of these countries likethat.
If you were going out of mexico, trust me on this, I would not
get the turkey ham, yeah, I meananytime.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
um, yeah, I mean, that's just like, uh, I wouldn't
eat anything that was like abeef squirrel, you know like,
and that's not, don't you know?
You know, uh, a pheasant rodent, don Don't, don't, some, you
know, these combinations, don'tdo it, people.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
But okay, number one thing that flight attendants
won't eat on an airplane.
You know what that is?
I have no idea what that is.
Chinese food?
Oh yeah, yes, Chinese food.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yes, 100%.
I mean, do not eat Chinese foodon the aircraft.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
You're going to see a young flight attendant and
they're back there.
They stopped over at the PandaExpress and they're eating that
big thing of Chinese food andyou're just waiting for two
hours from now.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, they're visiting the toilet before we
land, for sure.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Do not eat Chinese food.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
It is instantaneous.
You might as well just push thebutton and watch yourself reek
and bloat.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You are going to blow up like a balloon.
You're going to blow up.
So the point that we're makingwith the airline food is the
meals in the back.
They spend probably about $5, Ibet I think they said the
average was like $5.
So if you're going to buysomething, it's not the best
thing, but if I was going to dosomething, I would okay.
(38:49):
I'd either.
If they had a cheese tray, I'dget that.
Sure Okay, because basic cheeseRight.
And if they had a snack box, I'dprobably look at a snack box
before I'd look at getting a hotmeal on an aircraft.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah, the food in the airline business has totally
went downhill.
I mean, back in the day whenairlines first started, we were
serving steak and lobster andall that good stuff and they
were actually cooking real foodand actually trained to cook the
food we used to play.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
We cut chateaubriand on the plane.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah, cut chateaubriand on the plane.
We were played up the food andserve it into a dish, and now
it's all turned into this,literally like we're warming up
pre-cooked food for you on theaircraft it's pop-top meals.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah, right, it.
Literally.
It's like a sling and fling ofthe airline industry.
It all changed and I thinkbecause the airline industry now
is just point A to point B,getting the people there.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
This whole thing reminds me of the Chef Ramsay
thing.
He goes into these restaurantsthat are doing this type of shit
, where they're doing thispre-cooked food and warming it
up and stuff like that, and thenhe's like what the hell?
What the hell is going on here.
Your restaurant, you know cookreal food, you know make real
recipes, all that type of stuffthat's the airline business, is
just pre-cooked, pre-wrappedfood.
(40:13):
Like you know, this is not.
Don't don't plan your dayaround getting it.
And it cracks me up too, whenwe get in like first class and
you have this pastures that theyget pissed because their food
isn't there.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
But then they here's the funnier part, though they
they asked for one of thepackages in the back because
they want something that'shealthier than that.
So let's look at that realquick before we, before we move
on, sean.
So they have a nut pack in theback.
It's like a trail mix typething.
It's only like a couple ounceson this thing and it is
absolutely crazy.
This thing has 2.5 servings andit has 18 grams of sugar in it.
(40:51):
18 grams and and it has 11grams of added sugar of it leads
up to 22 percent 22 percent ina little tiny bag Of nuts, of
nuts.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah, you would think that nuts shouldn't be so sweet
.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Right and then okay, so here Pringles.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
That little bitty can of Pringles 360 calories.
Wow, that little bitty can 360in calories.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Of something that looks like a potato chip.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Looks like a potato chip Right Now.
Okay, I was going to tell youon this one too, if you were
going to have a potato chip onan aircraft in the snack box,
kettle chips.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Kettle chips is the most organic way to go.
I mean, that's most natural.
I mean, the only thing you gotto worry about is what has been
fried in.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
A lot of it is sunflower oil.
So the kettle chips in a coupleof the snack boxes best chips
to have if you're going to havea chip on the aircraft I mean,
I'm always suspecting likepringles.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Now, like, like, how do they make a pringle like I'm
imagining them taking like somepotatoes, some other lots of
other crazy weather stuff and itbecomes like a mush and it's
like fried out into a specificshape.
Can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
But then, okay, here's one.
You've got a fruit bag, sean,like a gummy bear fruit bag.
Yeah, okay, 14 grams of sugar.
There's only two servings inthis thing, 14 grams of sugar,
and it has 14 added grams ofsugar.
It goes up to 28 in this littlebitty so it's only a little bit
(42:30):
gummy.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Bears are just a little bit over the peanuts, but
it's fruit or the nuts supposedto be.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
It's like supposed to be this, this fruit, right?
Okay now, and the only one thatI had seen, that it was the.
The product itself was probablythe most natural with these
cookies that were there and itwas like brown sugar, the wheat,
flour, stuff like that.
Now, if you're going to eatsomething bad, that would be the
best one to eat.
Look at the product on the backof it, because you don't have a
(42:55):
ton of these preservatives inthe back of this.
But even this, even thesecookies, you have three servings
in this cookie bag and it's avery small little cookie bag.
It is total of 360 calories.
Now here's the difference inproduct right, only seven grams
(43:16):
of sugar.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Only seven grams Now, with three servings.
Only seven grams.
Only seven grams Now, withthree servings, only seven grams
.
Only seven grams of added sugar, going to 14%.
Now, think about that.
That bag is probably thehealthiest bag that you could
have had snack-wise.
If you're going to eat thesugar and everything on the
plane, because the productitself was all natural product
(43:39):
that made the cookie, yeah, butyou still had three servings,
360 calories.
You're right back to the back.
You're right back to thepringles.
Wow, it is absolutely crazy.
So the way that I feel aboutthis, as far as with airline
food, if you've got to eat, eat,you know, but if you don't,
(44:00):
like you said, stop, picksomething healthy and you might
got to eat, eat.
But if you don't, like you said, stop, pick something healthy
and you might want to eat it alittle bit before you fly.
Absolutely, and drink a lot ofwater, folks, lots of water.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
Hey, let's talk about some fun facts right now.
Hey, did you know that weexperience more radiation than
you do when you have an X-ray?
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Yeah, I do.
That's one of those things thatwe don't talk about a lot.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah, I mean the airline industry doesn't really
talk about the amount ofradiation that we consume when
we're flying on a plane.
I mean the public.
They mention this, but they'vealways've always said hey, don't
worry, you're okay, you're safe.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
I'm probably as green as your shirt right now.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Well, I've been meaning to tell you.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah, glowing from the inside out, that's probably
what I am.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah, the, the, the hue that you got in the back of
your eyes right there is whenI'd be no, but like we're
exposed, I mean it's going to bevery interesting, you know,
because of like in our, in ourgeneration, you know the amount
of flying and stuff and what'shappened over the history of
aviation and stuff and flightattendants being up in the air
(45:17):
and pilots being in the air solong and stuff.
I mean someday somebody's goingto really be concerned about
this and say like yeah, yeah,that's, that's the reason why
everybody, like you know, athird of the population is
getting cancer and stuff likethat but don't you believe a lot
of that too, though sean is uhgenetics too, I mean.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
I mean, you know the radiation, I get that, but it's
the radiation that affects aperson, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
As far as with the cancer, well, well, I think it's
a compound.
You know it's a combination ofall of them.
So, like you know, you can haveeverybody's gas to succumb to
their genetics, right, right, itdoesn't matter what you do or
how healthy you can makeyourself.
If your genetics are bad oryou're predisposed to certain
things, you're going to be that.
You know you're going to bethat.
You know you're going to.
You're going to get that,whether you're going to get
(46:02):
cancer and like it's runs inyour family.
But when you get into anenvironment that increases that
or enhances that, you knowthat's what we're talking about
every day.
Yeah, anyways, uh, some otherfun facts and I don't even know
if that was a fun fact we justwent over.
Oh, that wasn't very fun at allYou're talking about cancer.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
I don't know how fun that was.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
Everybody's out there just slapping their knees that
was so funny.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Exactly, I'm dying right now.
Yeah, he's over there glowinglike a green goblin, but yeah,
that was funny.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
Yeah, it's fun facts that people aren't like
recognizing, you know like.
That's what that's all about.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Sean's not very funny today.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
No, you're right.
So the first airline flight wasfrom, uh, saint petersburg to
tampa, florida, and the firstpassenger sat his ass on what?
Speaker 2 (46:56):
a wooden bench.
Now that shit is funny.
Could you imagine, I meanseriously, could you imagine you
being the first passenger going?
No, seriously, it's safe, goahead, just sit on this bench
well, this is the whole scenario.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Seems like it was a dare, like it was like hey, hey,
we're gonna, we're gonna try tofly this flight over here.
You want to be, you want tocome with us, you get okay
here's.
Pick up that bench over there.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
You can set it inside the cabin don't pay pay
attention to that big-ass bodyof water we got to fly across
Right, right, I mean don't evenlook at that, don't look down.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Yeah, it's not even hooked to the aircraft.
You have no seatbelts.
I mean it reminds me of likeautomobiles in the early days.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
It was made of driftwood in case the water
it'll float.
Just get on in in the car youknow we don't care.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
You know you're, you're safe, you're okay, you
don't need a seat belt, or.
This shit was fair.
I couldn't even imagine woodenbench dude.
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Now see, that was a funny one yeah, so that was a
funny, fun fact.
I mean, uh, that was, uh,that's crazy, especially how far
we've come in technology and,uh, the things that we know now,
right, but anyways, let's talkabout our destination.
Our destination this week isMinneapolis, minnesota.
Minneapolis, minnesota thatshit's cold in the wintertime.
(48:12):
I think it's cold all the time.
It feels like they have such ashort.
They're a lot like Clevelandhere, much worse, because they
have a shorter season than us.
There's good weather and allthat this stuff, but it's cold
there.
But uh, the one of the thingsthat in minneapolis is that they
have, uh, some places to gowhich most people don't go
(48:34):
outside too often in minneapolis, you know, there's only these
certain times of years.
But they have a famouswaterfall they're called
minnehaha falls and it's uh hasno relation to the henry
wadsworth longfellow's hiawatha.
Um, actually, he got the nameminnehaha from these waterfalls,
really, yeah, and so you knowthat that that literature was
(48:57):
all over america, and there'sactually many other waterfalls
in other states that are calledminnehaha just because of the
Longfellow.
Pretty interesting.
Anyhow, some of the things thatare like one of the number one
things to do is to go to Mall ofAmerica.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Now Mall of America.
It always takes me back to onestory when I was young.
What's that?
Do you remember the nightclubsthey used to have there?
Speaker 1 (49:26):
I love the nightclubs .
I mean, the nightclubs are likewow.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
They had some kick-ass nightclubs.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
I mean I used to bid those layovers just to go to
those nightclubs because I meanwe were so close, we were like
right across the parking lot,yep, and we could just walk over
.
We could, we can just walk over.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
We can stagger there and stagger back.
Okay, so this is a dumbassstory of myself.
So it's freezing outside andI'm like I don't want to take my
jacket, sure, because I waslike it's just right across the
parking lot.
I can run across there, worse,and run back.
It's no big deal.
So, anyway, I run across there,get inside the mall.
It was cold and I went insidethe club and had a great time
(50:02):
and I came out there and I'msweating and everything and I
was like damn this mall is big.
I really never walked the wholemall.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Yeah, I mean, you just can't realize how big this
mall is.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Right, and they always talk about the Mall of
America.
I'm like, how big is this damnthing?
There's this, you know it.
Just I was like, well, I'mgoing to see.
So they had the front door orthe front entrance where I came
in, and they had this back door.
So I'm like I'm going to go outthe back door, I'm going to
walk around half of it on theoutside of it just to see, and
then I'm going to walk aroundthe front Because it was hot
(50:32):
anyway.
I'm like I'm going to cool offa little bit and then I'm going
to get back to the hotel Dumbestdamn thing I've ever done.
Yeah, yeah, I walked outsidethat door, sean, and it was
freaking, freezing, freezing,and immediately I was like which
is not?
Speaker 1 (50:47):
unusual.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
You know, when you knew you made a mistake and you
could reach back for the doorand you tried to get back in.
No, it locked, oh no, I wasscrewed.
So what I did?
Speaker 1 (50:56):
And you're on the opposite side of the mall,
opposite side of the freakingmall and center part.
I'm dead center, you know,because all the nightclubs are
in the middle.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Now, for everybody that has never ever been to mall
america, malone america has 500stores in it and it's five
stories high.
It is absolutely freakingridiculous.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
Yeah, I mean it has amusement park in the center of
it.
We'll talk about that a littlebit more here in just second,
but finish your story here allright.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
So I had to go around this thing.
I swear to Lord above, Ithought it was going to have
hypothermia by the time I gotback around to the middle part
in that hotel I looked like afreaking human popsicle.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
Dude.
Yeah, you could have gothypothermia or frostbitten or
any of that type of stuff.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Bright, red, I mean it was.
It was probably one of thedumbest, stupidest things I've
ever done.
Speaker 1 (51:45):
Yeah, I mean, it's like you.
That was not smart for sure, no, no.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
Dumb dumb, dumb, dumb , but yeah, that's Mall of
America, huge, huge mall.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Right.
Anyways, talking about Mall ofAmerica, I mean, if you've never
experienced it, peopleliterally go there on freaking
vacation.
I mean, inside this mall is anamusement park it used to have
in the in back in the day, whenit first opened up, it was like
(52:15):
it was all dedicated to Snoopy.
So it was like this big Snoopyamusement park.
But now Nickelodeon has takenover and it's all Nickelodeon.
But inside of Mall of Americathere's so many things and
activities to do.
They have 3D virtual realities.
They have a zip line thing thatgoes across, because we're
telling you it's five storieshigh.
They've got these walkways andjungle gym things that are all
(52:36):
over the amusement park Rides,roller coasters.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
You can spend the whole day.
Oh, you can spend the wholeentire day there they have food.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
um, there's like there will be duplicate stores
of the same store, so, like, ifyou're going into, you know one
store that you were like, like,like, not spit it out sean you
know I can see you when you'resitting here talking about that
is.
Speaker 2 (53:01):
That would be the perfect place for, like, a young
dad, when the mom wants to goshopping, takes the kid over
there and then you don't have tomove, right, oh yeah.
I mean all you got to do isturn that kid loose in that
Nickelodeon thing and mom can goshop and you can sit there and
just watch him.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
But it's so big, I mean you can get lost so easily
in that place.
It is so big, big and you can goout the wrong door and get
locked out shut up, but anyways,mall of america is really cool,
but other things to do in many,you know, minneapolis is, uh
has this like catacombs.
It's like a catacomb city.
You can literally take tours ofthe city that you can walk
(53:36):
through all the different uhhallways and walkways that are
all connected through thebuildings because it, because
it's so cold, so much there allyear round, everything is inside
and even like the university ofMinnesota is right there, their
entire campus has likecatacombs and walkways to their
different buildings, justbecause you don't have to be
exposed to the elements.
Speaker 2 (53:55):
Or you walk out the back door and try to go around
the half.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
Yeah, so probably many students have done some
stupid shit up there for sure,but yeah, so anyways, there's
fun things to do in Minneapolis,just like any other city, and I
got to tell you, though, one oftheir most famous things to do
is to eat some of their favoritefoods, and one of their
favorite foods is one of myfavorites is stuffed burgers.
(54:21):
Have you ever had a stuffedburger?
Nope, stuffed burgers orsomething like you got to
experience.
I mean, they take thishamburger patty and think of
like two hamburger patties puttogether, but they put a big
chunk of cheese in the center ofit and then they put it all
together in a patty and grill it.
So when you bite into thisthing, just like cheese oozes
out all everywhere.
It is unbelievable, but theygot.
(54:43):
They have all kinds ofdifferent stuffed burgers, and
one I think that you might likewould be peanut butter and jelly
burger.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
You know I love peanut butter and jelly, but no
damn way am I putting peanutbutter and jelly in a burger.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
I think you would experience that no way it's not
happening.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
You would ruin that for me for life.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
I would literally buy it for you just to see you try
it.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Nope not gonna happen .
Yeah, that wouldn't, because Iknow you and peanut butter is
good.
You got a whole likerelationship going on, yeah but
that, that big chunk of cheesemight, might do it.
But no, you ain't getting me totake any peanut butter and
jelly in it.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean.
So they have other like otherfamous foods that they have.
Up there is their tater tothash dish.
It's like a casserole dishwhere they put like tater tots
with ground beef, cream ofmushroom soup and other
vegetables all in it and make itinto this big casserole.
That's kind of like a thing upthere.
And then the other thing iswalleye Walleye.
(55:39):
They're known for their walleye.
So that's just some of the youknow things we're not going to
like.
Tell you one place to go.
There's lots of differentplaces that have these stuffed
burgers.
I mean pretty much anywheresells burgers there that are
like those local joints.
They're going to have stuffedburgers.
So, anyways, um, we're going towrap this up and the quote
(56:01):
today is this Lead with kindness, strength and wisdom.
Inspire others by being theexample you once looked for.
Your journey can light the wayfor someone else.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
And if you go out the back of the mall, make sure
that you have something to lightthe journey with, because that
was a dumb ass move.
Anyway, you guys, it was a lotof fun.
You guys have a great week.

A 76-year-old and her emotional support parrot gets
grounded Literally.
Why your in-flight omelettastes like cardboard with a
hint of turbulence, thelegendary Juicy Lucy Burger and
Minnesota's Best Bites.
Flying turns you into a cosmicray sponge.
Don't worry, you're still safe,mostly so.
(00:24):
Buckle up, put your tray tablesin the upright position and
prepare for takeoff.
We're cruising through laughs,travel tales and enough snacks
options to fill a carry-on.
Let's fly.
Prepare for takeoff.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Hey, everyone welcome .
This is cabin pressure hey,what's people?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It is cabin pressure time.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
You know, every week now I wait for your new little
intro.
I'm not shitting you, I do.
I wait for your new littlefunny intro.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Hey, we got to change it up, man.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I love that man.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It sets the level of energy.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
But it's you, though, see, these guys don't know,
they don't know, I know but, itis you.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It's 100% you.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's what I said about loving this.
The further we get into cabinpressure, the more our
personalities come out.
Like you calling me out lastweek, which was bullshit about
talking.
Don't think I forgot about that, man.
I mean, you know I'm comingback after you for that one,
right?
So what's been up, man, shootman.
(01:48):
I again doing a multiple daytrips, but you know what?
The one thing I said about ourindustry is?
You know, the operation of offlying, uh, it's like playing a
game of chess.
I I say this all the time,right, flying is like playing a
game of chess.
The way that our operation runsand scheduling puts crews, it's
like taking three pieces of thechessboard and throwing the
(02:11):
shit underneath the couch andthen starting the day.
Right, because most of the timewhen they move you around,
sometimes you're a king or queen, right, your day gets really
good, and then other days you'rejust the freaking pawn that
they move from place to place tofill a spot and at the end of
the day in the airline industry,there's three spots still
(02:33):
missing and the shit starts allover again and the game never
finishes.
That's the industry.
So this week, I mean, I wasking.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No, I wasn't.
Most of the time there weremore pawns, more pawns, austin.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Always pawns.
That's right.
That's why I said about thegame why were you a king?
Okay, so I was on a three-daytrip and we got into Denver and
we were on the Airbus and theyhad a maintenance Airbus.
You know how the Airbus?
Right, if Airbus goes down.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Not a fan.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, I know, but if it goes down it cancels.
So it canceled and we weresupposed to actually go to Indy
and then come back to Denver thenext morning.
Canceled, Stayed in Denver,Started in Denver Next day.
26 and a half hours I think itwas spent in Denver.
All right, Way better trip.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah yeah, better trip.
Yeah yeah, it's fun, you know,when those uh changes in your uh
freaking schedule, changes likethat and you got those longer
layovers and stuff I mean, andit just is like those hard
working trips to this, like nowI got it like nice chill layover
but those don't they always got.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
They come when you don't expect right, because we
had no clue.
On this one we we had no ideaat all got a modification, had
no clue that it was coming.
But when you want it, that oneminute difference never happens.
You become the pawn.
You're sliding right over intoanother position.
But it was good.
I mean, the day went a lotbetter ended up heading down to
(04:00):
Cancun.
Cancun is always interestingpassengers from different
destinations.
That went pretty good.
And then you know you have tosit down in that customs area
because nobody wants to clearcustoms now.
So we sit in that littlehallway until the flight comes
in.
Good trip, though, I meanthree-day trip and then back to
the turns.
So what about you?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Man, you know, just wrapping up life here, Went over
to Indiana this last weekendand doing our visit over there
with the mother-in-law and allthat stuff.
She's 94.
And yeah, we're just, you know,doing things in life like that.
But something really funhappened when we were over there
(04:44):
.
Uh, because my niece is there,I have one that's five and one
seven, and one of my nieces shewas, uh, she has, she has a
birthday party coming up and sonext few weeks or whatever,
we're going to go back over forher birthday party, and so she
was giving out invitations andeverything and she said so, my
wife, my wife is, she justturned 60, which, you know, 60
(05:05):
is a hard number.
You know everybody has adifficult you know when they hit
?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Damn, you are so in trouble.
You just told her age.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
It's OK, she ain't going to be on the show and
never.
I'm going to tell her and so,and then, and then I'm 59.
Ok, so you know, this is, thisis age, and we have our little
niece and nephew and the visionof a child is just precious
Right.
So she was telling the storyand she was like, yeah, you know
(05:36):
, my aunt Carol, she's like 50years old and my uncle Sean is
like he's 30?
She's like 50 years old.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And my uncle Sean is like he's 30.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
She looked at you and said 30 and everybody,
everybody was just like.
I mean, she like told thisstory so many times.
It was like it was so funny tohear and like their perspective
of like how they, how they seeage.
You know, and it is, you know,there's like one year difference
in our age but, um, it's justbecause of our attitudes, you
know, because Carol take backher present you know, she said
she's not going to go to herbirthday party, so then the
(06:16):
whole weekend so the wholeweekend she just kept trying to,
like you know, like to getherself on the good side, like,
change her story up throughoutthe weekend when she's talking
about different stories, becausemy wife just kept bringing it
up.
Yeah, what did you say I was?
How old did you say I was?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I bet you ran with that one too.
Oh yeah, Saying you were 30years old.
Yeah, that's a stretch.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Yeah, it's all in the mind, man, it's all in your
mind.
In your mind, your mind wouldbe about 12.
Then, hey, stay young at mind.
That's all I have to say toeverybody, because I'm telling
you the body goes to shit, butdon't let the mind go.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
These people don't even know you.
That's why I said all you haveto do is listen to the entrance
of this.
This is truly you anymore.
I mean he's 100% a goofball.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Hey, you do anything you got to make life good fun.
You know, don't be all, don'tget too serious.
That's my two cents for the day.
But the other thing is that,man, I finally got my office
finished.
I got it all done back in ourspace and we're back in our the
(07:25):
studios, back in the office now.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
He's not kidding man, it really looks.
They did a good job.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, I mean, it's a.
It took some time.
I mean it's just a long, slowprocess.
And we had that heavy rain andeverything the other day and I
opened my window here and I'm onmy windowsill here and in my
new office, um, some rain camethrough because I had window
open.
But I didn't realize.
Oh wait, I had the window openand then I looked down on the
(07:51):
seal of the thing and there'sthis like pot of water.
I'm like son of a bitch, don'tyou?
I just finished this thing.
Do not give me some leak anddamage on this, but it was just
my fault because I opened thewindow, but uh, it was.
It was, uh, it's so good to beback into my space and stuff but
uh, I'm sitting there thinkingyou, you self-blamed, you did it
(08:12):
yourself yeah, I totally did itmyself and I looked at it and I
had to think about it.
Is this really a leak or there'ssomething stupid?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I did it was something stupid we do a lot of
stupid things as we get older.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You can do that, man, it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I told you I just did a stupid thing with the show.
I was on the show, had the showcompletely written out, ready
to go and you text me.
Hey brother, what's up?
I need the notes.
Shit Freaking, left them on aplane in the jump seat and gone.
Yeah, man, that was like gone.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
That is the worst.
I mean, I'm telling you howmany times have we been on a
plane and we left something?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
That, but you know, it can be anything.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
I mean, I know you just did your notes, yeah, but
this one was bad.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I mean because it's like the day before we're
supposed to come in the officeand do this and I left the shit
on the plane.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Dude.
I mean I don't know how manytimes I've left stuff on a plane
.
It's normally like my panic isalways like something technology
, like I love my iPad, I love myiPhone, I love my freaking, you
know, like whatever on theplane and you like just have
like this sinking feeling ofloss, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But okay, but that you have your personal sinking
feeling, right.
My sinking feeling is not justme, but you're on the other end
going tick, tick, tick, tick andI'm like you're like waiting
for the notes and the notes arenever going to come.
And you're like, yeah, ourasses are getting old.
(09:40):
But yeah, that was the no funfor me was leaving my notes in
the jump seat.
No fun at all.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
No fun at all, man.
I mean, it's freakingridiculous.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
So what's?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
been going on in the news.
News man, did you hear aboutthat lady?
She's stuck in Puerto Ricobecause she took down an
emotional support animal thatwas a parrot and they won't let
her return.
How'd she get it down there,though?
The airline actually flew herdown on the plane with the
parrot and she got down topuerto rico and when she got
(10:14):
there, um, she was planning on,you know, she had done her visit
, whatever, and she's comingback in the airline.
And when she got to the airport, they denied her to go on the
plane and, uh, the reason wasthey said that it was her pet,
was not checked properly.
So, for whatever reason, she'slike I'm not leaving my pet,
(10:35):
like this is my emotionalsupport animal or whatever, and
I want to bring my parrot, andI've had this parrot for X
amount of years and I want you,you know.
So she's stuck down there andit's and it's making every news
outlet out there has beenrunning this story and it's it's
wild, but is that?
legal though I guess I mean, uh,I mean you can have an
(10:57):
emotional support parrot.
Yeah, really, I mean there's.
There is a lot of like.
If you look in the emotionalsupport animal list that each
airline, they have like a listof all their different animals
that they'll accept Right, andbirds are one of them.
Really.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But yeah, I mean, parents could be mean.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Parents could be mean man, Especially if they're not
let back in the United States.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Have you?
Have've seen the funny ones nothe ones that try to bite you.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Oh, those son of bitches, I mean, they're bad.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I've seen that one video with the one that the
guy's smashing the cage and theparrot's like cursing him out.
Do you see that one?
He's like son of a, you know.
Oh, my God, that was hilariouswhen animals talk.
It was just so funny.
The guy's like smashing theparrot's old cage and the
parrot's just completely cursinghim out.
It was hilarious.
That's awesome.
Yeah, I just keep watching thatone.
(11:49):
But you know, I came acrossthis story and I thought this
was funny too, back in 22,.
You know they were talkingabout the air raids, the drunk
passengers, wing walkers, andthey talked about this one and I
thought this was hilarious.
Someone was airdropping nudesto the pilots.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Oh, that is priceless man, I mean so when did this
happen?
A while ago, or was this recent, in 22,?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
yeah, but you know how we talk about incidents
today, but then we also talkabout funny stories.
Years ago that happened.
But I thought about theairdropping and you know just to
talk about that a little bit onthe show today, because this
was freaking hilarious.
These guys were ready to turnthe plane around because they
were getting nude pics airdropto their their phones from
(12:39):
someone in the back.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So, technology wise, I mean, I'm asking that question
because you know, in today'sworld and technology and stuff
like airdrop right now, you canlike restrict it.
You can only restrict it tolike only the people you know,
or you can open it up to thepublic.
You know it's a settings inyour phone but you know, when an
airdrop first started it waslike open to everybody and so,
um uh, I used to get airdroppedon the phone on the plane.
(13:03):
You've never been airdropped no,no yeah, yeah, like I'd be
sitting there and my phonedidn't had it open and then all
of a sudden, like it was likebling and people would like send
you normally picture pictures,right, and uh, um, I got these
like pictures of, like likethese aliens with, like they
look like a little maggot withlike eight arms and glasses, and
(13:24):
you know, like or or like, um,one time dude, like or somebody,
I don't know if it's girl orguy aaron dropped me a picture
of like this dude.
Uh, fucking santa, cause I'mtelling you like that is the
crazy ass shit that happens,like they'll send you these like
obscure, crazy, weird pictures.
(13:48):
You got a picture of what yeahSay that again it's this dude
and Santa's bent over and he'sscrewing Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
What kind of weird, freaking crazy-ass mind would
ever even take that picture?
Your ass needs to go throughthe plane and get them off.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
That's the point of this whole airdrop.
It's like anonymous.
And so you know, what wasreally interesting is like in
the social world of everything,like people would do this in
clubs.
Like I was out in a club backin the day, right, and when this
airdrop first happened, andyou'd be in a club and people
would literally airdrop peoplein the club, so they'd they'd
(14:29):
like scroll on their airdrop tosee all these people that are on
the on the contact list of theairdrop and they would try to
figure out who it is and then,like they drop, drop a nude pic
of themselves or something youknow.
Like it was just weird, it wasjust a bizarre.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
See, I could see you going into the cockpit and the
captain going.
Sean, go back and ID thisperson.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, but the the hard thing is is really it was.
It was anonymous, like youcould not figure out who it was
that it was coming from, Causenormally it wasn't like a name,
that was, it wasn't like an earand put their name and address
on the damn thing they're.
It wasn't like they're going toput their name and address on
the damn thing.
It's going to be like someobscure or it's not going to be
labeled at all.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But yeah, airdropping is a weird thing.
I just thought it was hilariousthat these guys would have
turned the airplane back around.
Pilots, old days.
No, they ain't turning it backaround.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
First of all, come on , how's that?
Interfering the flight?
Like quit?
Answering it?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
yeah, like literally you didn't have to.
Don't answer the phone, turnyour damn phone off.
You shouldn't be on your phone,right, right, I mean, why are
you on your phone in flight?
That would be the firstquestion, right?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
yeah, especially if you turned it around, you had to
like write this thing, hold thewhole thing up.
That's crazy man, but anyways,uh, other thing that's happening
in the news is, you know, kcmis getting ready to change
Really and they're getting readyto get rid of KCM and I guess
they're going to start a new KCMprogram.
And the reason why they'redoing this is because there's so
(15:57):
many crews violating the rulesof KCM and you know myself and I
know you as well, have seencrew members do some stupid ass
shit.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
They have ruined this .
I mean, we've seen this notjust us, but they've seen it in
the news how crew members havedone the dumbest things right.
They get involved with thesedrug running.
They get involved with, youknow, taking money.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Black market stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
And that's at the high end.
But see, what we're talkingabout is the low-end stupidity.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, yeah, I think the program should be called
Weeding Out the Stupid.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Perfect.
That's absolutely perfect,because we got some really dumb
people that go through KCM.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, I mean, you know there's obvious things that
you can't bring through KCM.
One like you can't bring otherpeople's shit, you can't bring
knives, you can't bring guns,you can't bring all this stuff.
But we know employees ourselvesthat have done this, Like
they've actually taken steakknives through the KCM or taken
like you know they'll take thesilverware that's off the
aircraft and they bring thesemetal knives and stuff and put
(17:04):
it in their lunch bag.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
A butter knife is not allowed the.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
the thing about it is that I, I, you it's just
because it's a company has it onthe plane doesn't mean that
you're allowed to bring itthrough security.
There's a lot of stuff on theplane that we can't bring
through security, but it'salready been screened prior to
In other areas of the airport tobe allowed on the plane.
So that doesn't give you theability to have that permission
(17:29):
to bring that stuff through.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
But you see these real dumb people.
How did you accidentally bringa gun through KCM?
How did you accidentally putammunition?
Now, I know you and I know memy bags.
Never would a gun, anyammunition, anything be anywhere
near my flight bags Anywhere.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Dude.
First of all, I don't use thesame bags for my guns and my
daily travel, like I don'tnon-rev with the same bag that
I'm going to be taking on myhunting trip.
You know what I mean?
It's just they're just twodifferent things.
I mean you, just you should be.
I understand, economicallyspeaking.
You know everybody doesn't havethe ability to have all these
(18:13):
like different bags and all thisstuff.
But you got to start thinking,hey, um, you know, don't get
caught.
But this new program, if you getcaught, you're now going to be
suspended from the program andthey have not said how long.
It could be years, I mean.
They're talking about likeliterally withdrawn.
You will be going throughsecurity like everybody else
coming into work.
(18:34):
It's going to be a definite.
I mean there's going to be alot of people and and the funny
thing to me is like there's onething to be random, you know,
but it's going to end up thatwe're going to start seeing the
same people coming throughsecurity, like we're going to be
going through the KCM system,whatever that is, and then
you'll have the the line ofstupid.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Yeah, you know, when you, when you uh was talking
about this.
I go through every day.
I know most of our TSA people,um, and and our airport and you
know they're they're just doingtheir job.
But, man, this is a benefitthat the airline crews have had
and and it they always ruin it.
Yeah, they always ruin it, theydo.
(19:13):
It's always somebody.
It's like that one percent thatwe said that's on the airplane
that we don't want to fly with.
There's also that one percentof stupidity that goes through
kcm, but there's probably a fewmore percentage than one percent
yeah, I mean, my thing is thatI hate that the few screwed up
for the many.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
You know, like you, you can't.
You know you got to startthinking about just you know you
need to start a little bit morethan just yourself.
You know, I mean people.
Just you got to stop and thinkabout this stuff.
This is a privilege and, um,you know, quit fucking it up.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, Well, their privilege is soon to change.
So, hey, let's talk about, uh,the airline food man.
Your favorite topic is you loveto eat on layovers?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Well, before we talk about that, I want to talk about
one last thing about in thenews and that kind of like
applies to this show, and thatis employees and social media
and how the stigma of this, thecompany's riddled fear into the
poise to not come on our show.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
We've been talking about that and we talked to a
lot of crew members all the time.
You guys realize this on ourshow.
This is not about an airline, aspecific airline.
These are incidents that happenon airlines.
These are accidents that happenon airlines.
These are accidents that happenon airlines.
These are funny things thathappen on airlines.
(20:41):
These are things that you guysare not privy to.
That goes on in the galleys inairlines.
We will never be airlinespecific about anything.
You've never heard us talkabout a specific airline.
But we do laugh and talk aboutincidents on airlines and that's
what we.
That's what we wanted to bringto you.
We wanted to bring what we talkabout in the galley to your
(21:02):
house.
So don't ever be afraid ofcoming on a show and talking
about these, because they'rejust funny things that people
talk about every single day.
But we're not talking about aspecific airline.
We would never we'll do that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Well, one of the things that I, you know, the
points I want to make out ofhere is that, you know,
companies have installed thislike instilled this fear into
employees, and they've got thesesocial media policies that if
you, if you do something I meanI mean like the girl twerking in
the back of the you know plane,on the plane that got fired you
know all these little thingsthat you do in social media the
(21:39):
company's trying to keep face,trying to make themselves
professional and all that stuff,and I get that.
But at the same time, itshouldn't be suppressing your
First Amendment rights, like youshould be able to talk about
what you do and the experiencesof what you do and how you did
that, and I don't think you needto be afraid, especially when
it comes to our show is you willnot be afraid of ever talking
(22:01):
about what we do, and this is agreat opportunity, I'm telling
you, uh, for all those listenersthat are out there.
Just, you know it, it's alsotherapeutic to be able to talk
these things out and talk aboutit in open, where we've never
been able to do that.
And we protect you by keepingthis whole thing generic, as
(22:23):
it's just airline talk, and soone of the things about I just
hate that people are not like.
I really think that one of thebest parts of our show is when
we did have guests on that.
They're just talking and beingcandid about their experiences
and stuff.
It's super interesting.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Right, but I do understand on the airline part
of it.
As far as the industry and thebusiness itself, if you are in
your uniform and you are ontheir aircraft taking a video on
their aircraft, I do understandthat.
I mean, I get that becauseyou're not supposed to be doing
that.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
They tell you that from the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You're never going to see me and you in our uniform
on board an aircraft taking avideo or taking pictures doing
anything like that and seeing iton our show.
You're not going to see thatbecause we know what we're
allowed and what we're notsupposed to do in social media
and we just want people tounderstand is that, especially
with our show, we want you tocome on the show to talk about
these funny, funny things thathappen on airplanes.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah.
I mean that I'm alwayssurprised when I see and usually
see young new crew members thatare doing that, that taking
those pictures, and you knowthey're excited, they're happy
to be at work and they're takingpictures of themselves and and
some of lot of it.
The majority of it is positiveand the companies probably do
want that type of advertisementfor them.
(23:40):
you know, because you're the youin flight attendants, we are
the face of the airlinesabsolutely, we are the frontline
employee of the airline, sopeople are seeing us more than
they they see anybody else.
And we're also like, because ofour um area of employment.
You know people are, you know,they fantasize about that.
(24:01):
That being that, you know, oh,wouldn't be cool to be a flight
attendant, and all that.
You know all that.
Whatever this, whatever thosedreamers are, they're dreaming.
But uh, yeah, I mean you, justyou've got to uh you know what's
funny, though, sean?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I mean not to interrupt you, you, but even
with social media, because a lotof times I don't comment on any
of it, but I actually like toscroll it just because, with the
show, I like to see what peopleare talking about they were
talking about.
It was funny.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
this week they had a whole blog thing that they were
talking about people that werewearing pajamas on airplanes,
and remember we did that podcastearly on and that was fun, it
was enlightening, it was like wehad a good time with it and we
(24:49):
talk about past years in thegalley all the time right.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That's the whole purpose.
That's what this show is about.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
It's what gets talked in the galley all the time,
every single day.
Nobody, you can use a differentname.
We didn't, you know, johnnyrocket?
We don't care exactly like youjust, but we'd like to get those
(25:17):
experiences out there because Ithink the world would like to
hear these stories, and they do.
They enjoy them because ourshow's doing well, yeah, anyway.
So back to the.
What we're talking about youstarted talking about was the
airline food airline food.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Man, I, you know, we, we talk about a lot of
different things, but you know Iwanted to talk about this
because passengers, you know youneed to know a little bit about
the airline food and why do youfeel the way you feel after you
eat certain things on anairplane?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
So why am I farting?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
That's a big one, right.
That's a big one, right.
I mean, truthfully, it is sucha big one because, do you know?
Do you know how long it takesfor for gas to really get out of
your body after you fly?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It's like seven days, sean, seven days.
Seven days actually expel allthe gas, all the gas pressures,
from the flying.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
So I would never know how I feel not bloated because
I'm on that plane every day.
I was thinking about that.
I'm like I'm.
I feel bloated every day andthe only time that I don't feel
it is when I'm off for vacation.
If I'm off for like 10 days orsomething like that for a
vacation, then all of a sudden Icompletely deflate and I don't
(26:30):
feel any of that gas in yourbody anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, I mean, that is the worst experience as a
flight attendant.
Like, if you, you know, Iremember in my career where,
like, I was not really aware ofthat bloating and that I just
kept getting that sensation oflike you know, all that pressure
and stuff built up on you andit's not like you don't always
release it.
Right, that you know, so thatthat pressure isn't just an
(26:53):
always an immediate release oflike you're gonna belch or get
or fart or something like that.
It's gonna be like you justhave that bloated feeling.
And I didn't.
I didn't identify with that fora long time and then, when I
finally did, then I startedreally watching, like what am I
eating?
What am you know?
Do I need to be taking medicinefor this or something you know?
Because I mean, like taking gasx before a flight is actually
(27:16):
super helpful it is.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
But you know you still get bloated, because I've
tried that too, and and and youstill get bloated.
I understand that.
But you know, even when you eathealthy, believe it or not,
you're going to get bloated,even eating healthy well, eating
health is actually worse.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, because of the organics and the naturalness of
your body digesting and all thatstuff.
So the healthier you eat, themore the gas effect is going to
happen and, uh, you know, flyingwith that the whole situation
is, it can be painful at times Ithought so let's run through a
little bit of uh fun with thebreakfast.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
okay, so we're going to run through the breakfast,
lunch and dinner, kind of coverit a little bit and what we
think about the food in those.
Okay, so the majority of partsof the breakfast you get the
eggs, yeah, sausage, right.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
And now they're throwing some spinach in there
Spinach yeah, some peppers.
Oh, and then you get potatoes.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yep potatoes, and then you're going to throw all
(28:42):
that on again, dose it all withsome carbonated beverages
Because of the air pressure, theairflow, dehydration, all these
reasons of why it kind of yourtaste buds go down in flight.
Yeah, they're saying in this.
As I research some of thisstuff is that your taste buds in
flight, you know, theypartially go numb because of the
dry air and stuff like you'reseeing, pressurization in the
cabin, but also airlines alsoheighten the salt content just
to compensate for that.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I know, and that's the other part.
That's why.
That's why I want to talk aboutfood so much, because the
number one things that you'llsee in these is salt, sugar and
butter.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, I mean, if you want to know why it tastes the
way it tastes salt, sugar,butter yeah the one thing is
that, like I'm I am the uhnon-rev um a traveler that when
I get up, you know I don't eaton the plane.
Like that is not my.
The only reason why I'm gonnaever eat on a plane is if that
I'm traveling, I don't have alot of time and I gotta grab
(29:31):
something to go, type of thing,and I gotta bring it on the
plane to eat.
But normally I grab somethingoff the plane and eat it,
because the food on the planeit's crap.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
But we're going to still talk about that too,
because even what you eat offthe plane and you come back on
the plane, how you're going tofeel afterwards, or sitting on
that plane, you've got to becareful, because are you flying
for two hours, four hours,whatever it is, it's going to
affect your body.
That food that you ate off theplane is going to affect it on
that plane too.
(30:01):
But anyway, like I said, we'regoing to go to the breakfast.
So we know that the eggs, it'sall butter.
You've got the fat with thebacon, you've got the
carbohydrates with the potatoes,and then you've got the spinach
, which is going to blow you uplike the Willy Wonka Chocolate
Factory, little girl.
All those things are going toblow you up.
So then you go to Veruca salt.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's right.
It's the Veruca salt on yourbody I love that too.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
But you go back and then you look at the steel-cut
oats.
Oh yeah, Okay.
So you're thinking this is ahealthy thing, right, but on the
outskirts of that steel-cutoats and in the middle of that
steel-cut oats is it's a um you,you have a mango sauce yeah all
sugar, right, all sure.
(30:50):
Then you have chips of mangoes,then you have kiwi which is good
, the kiwi's good.
But then you have chips andmangoes.
Then you have kiwi which isgood, the kiwi's good.
But then you have cashewsthrown in there, yeah, nuts and
a big thing of fat.
So when you're looking at thisyou're thinking, well, yeah,
this is really good, but it'snot good for you.
No, I mean, the steel-cut oatsare good for you with the chia
seeds, that's good.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
But as soon as you add the mango sauce and all that
, then and and they just jackedit all up, yeah, I mean, that's
what the oliver food is like,right, they um add additives to
make it taste better.
And once you make, you want touh, you know, because even
eating good food nor isn'talways the best you know
tasteful thing, right, like itdoesn't taste great, but it does
(31:36):
.
But in order to eat that stuff,some we like compensate by
adding on this extra bullshityeah, no, yeah, butter.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Like I said, if you look at most of those, most of
those meals, they're gonna seelike a sauce on the side of it.
But then also it depends on howthe flight attendants cook them
, because you know there'sflight attendants that will will
cook meals and they'll bake thecrap out of those meals.
I mean there's no freakingsauce left.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Let's talk about flight attendants cooking.
They suck man.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
They will kill meals, they will absolutely kill them.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
This reminds me of the like.
You know, everybody thinks thata flight attendant goes through
training and we're going to.
You know, this is part of whatwe're going to be trained on how
to cook a meal in flight andall that stuff and I'm going to
tell you right now we spend zerotime in training, training on
how to cook a meal in a flight.
I mean, there was never, ever,any instructions on like given
to me, in that They've always,like you know, it's just follow
(32:28):
the package, follow whateverthey tell you to do.
You know, if it says warm it upfor 20 minutes, warm it up for
20 minutes, warm it up for youknow like.
But then what happens is allthe flight attendants and we
know this, it's like you knowyou get the flight attendant is
like they just put the meals inthere and throw it on for 30
minutes.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
They don't care what's on top, what's on the
bottom.
It gets hotter on top.
And here's the other thing.
Here's a big FYI.
It's already cooked, yeah,already cooked, yeah, it's just
being warmed.
All you're doing is justwarming it up.
So here's a little FYI.
There's two buttons on there.
There's a 350 and a 250.
Hit the 250, turn it on for 20minutes and let it warm up.
(33:04):
Because, let me tell yousomething, you do not need to
freaking fry this food.
The food is already cooked,people.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I have flight attendants out there that I know
that I fly with, that I willnot let them cook Like.
I will literally be like can Ijust get my crew, I'll cook this
myself, you know, like, becauseI know they're going to screw
it all up.
I mean, there's one flightattendant I know.
Every time she gets on a plane,every meal, she just throws
everything in there and sheflips it on for 30, 40 minutes.
(33:34):
Right, it comes out burnt andcrusty and I'm like and then you
got to serve this stuff to thepassengers.
And if you're working with thatperson and we're doing like the
service together up in firstclass, it is like it's
embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
you're like oh, I wouldn't eat this okay, we have
sandwiches on board the aircraftthat we serve a beef sandwich
right there.
I see them cook that with thesame heat on on the other meals
instead of just taking them andput them with the bread and all
you have to do is warm them upfor 10 minutes.
10 minutes, and then when theyput their finger on the bread,
(34:10):
it's actually soft.
Yeah, instead of some croutonthat you just made into their
beef sandwich.
It's absolutely horrible andwe've both seen this.
They destroy, I mean sometimes,airline meals.
They're not the best anywayright, there, I mean they're
regulated.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
The point of what we're talking about.
Yeah, they're not edible.
Yeah they're.
They're edible and they'reprobably not the best content
for you, but there's somethingto sustain you till you get to
your next destination, type ofthing if flight attendants, the
majority of us, we don't eatthem, right, we do not only at
the last.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I mean, if it's only the last thing that we have and
and we're starving, will we eatthat airplane food?
Because we we know that it'spreservative, packed um a bunch
of sodium and fat and everythingelse yeah, it's gonna bloat the
shit out of you.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I mean that's horrible.
I mean most of the meals andstuff that were on there, that's
good.
That's the effect, and you knowit's one thing.
When you're a passenger and youeat this and you're going from
point A to point B but we'redoing that two, three, four
times a day up and down anaircraft and going up in
pressure and down in pressure, Imean it has a totally different
effect on our bodies versusjust a passenger that's doing
(35:17):
one flight.
You know like it is.
You know you got to watch whatyou're doing as a flight
attendant because if not you'regoing to have your co-workers
saying, damn, will you quitfarting, You're killing me, man.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
You do blow up, but okay, you're going to agree with
me on this one.
Okay, out of Mexico when youcome and get those sandwiches in
the back of the aircraft justhappened a few days ago, so we
were getting these sandwichesFirst of all.
What's turkey ham?
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Turkey ham sandwiches First of all.
What's turkey ham?
Turkey ham First of all.
Deli meat in Mexico is justfirst of a no-go.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Okay, you didn't explain what the hell is turkey
ham?
How do you cross ham and aturkey?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Well, you put them in this pin together and you got
this turkey and this pig I don'tknow Exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
I'm sitting there thinking turkey ham what the
hell is that?
First of all.
So then we had these sandwichesand nobody, nobody purchased
any of them, and and so I waslike, okay, I got to see this.
So I opened up the bag and thenI opened up the sandwich.
Sean, I'm not kidding you,there was one slice of this
turkey ham folded over sideways,so it was probably about an
(36:27):
inch wide right.
So there was this goo goo ofcheese just oozing out the side.
I opened this up.
Do you remember the where's thebeef commercial?
Yeah, okay, that was.
That was the.
Exactly where's the beef?
Because?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
as soon as where it's .
Where's the turkey ham?
Where's the turkey ham?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
It's like a strip of this shit in the back of it and
this gooed up mess of cheesethat was out.
And you're charging thesepeople this astronomical amount
of money for this shitty assfood that's going to make them
blow up.
And if you took the, here's thebest part.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
When I took the sandwich completely apart
because I want to see what wasleft with turkey ham and actual
bread it looked like the size ofa hot dog.
Dude.
Let's just start right now.
There should be like a 1000tariff on turkey ham, this
shouldn't even enter thefreaking country.
I mean, what, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I have no idea.
That's what I'm saying,especially when you're going out
of some of these countries likethat.
If you were going out of mexico, trust me on this, I would not
get the turkey ham, yeah, I meananytime.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
um, yeah, I mean, that's just like, uh, I wouldn't
eat anything that was like abeef squirrel, you know like,
and that's not, don't you know?
You know, uh, a pheasant rodent, don Don't, don't, some, you
know, these combinations, don'tdo it, people.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
But okay, number one thing that flight attendants
won't eat on an airplane.
You know what that is?
I have no idea what that is.
Chinese food?
Oh yeah, yes, Chinese food.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yes, 100%.
I mean, do not eat Chinese foodon the aircraft.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
You're going to see a young flight attendant and
they're back there.
They stopped over at the PandaExpress and they're eating that
big thing of Chinese food andyou're just waiting for two
hours from now.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Yeah, they're visiting the toilet before we
land, for sure.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Do not eat Chinese food.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
It is instantaneous.
You might as well just push thebutton and watch yourself reek
and bloat.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You are going to blow up like a balloon.
You're going to blow up.
So the point that we're makingwith the airline food is the
meals in the back.
They spend probably about $5, Ibet I think they said the
average was like $5.
So if you're going to buysomething, it's not the best
thing, but if I was going to dosomething, I would okay.
(38:49):
I'd either.
If they had a cheese tray, I'dget that.
Sure Okay, because basic cheeseRight.
And if they had a snack box, I'dprobably look at a snack box
before I'd look at getting a hotmeal on an aircraft.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah, the food in the airline business has totally
went downhill.
I mean, back in the day whenairlines first started, we were
serving steak and lobster andall that good stuff and they
were actually cooking real foodand actually trained to cook the
food we used to play.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
We cut chateaubriand on the plane.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Yeah, cut chateaubriand on the plane.
We were played up the food andserve it into a dish, and now
it's all turned into this,literally like we're warming up
pre-cooked food for you on theaircraft it's pop-top meals.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Yeah, right, it.
Literally.
It's like a sling and fling ofthe airline industry.
It all changed and I thinkbecause the airline industry now
is just point A to point B,getting the people there.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
This whole thing reminds me of the Chef Ramsay
thing.
He goes into these restaurantsthat are doing this type of shit
, where they're doing thispre-cooked food and warming it
up and stuff like that, and thenhe's like what the hell?
What the hell is going on here.
Your restaurant, you know cookreal food, you know make real
recipes, all that type of stuffthat's the airline business, is
just pre-cooked, pre-wrappedfood.
(40:13):
Like you know, this is not.
Don't don't plan your dayaround getting it.
And it cracks me up too, whenwe get in like first class and
you have this pastures that theyget pissed because their food
isn't there.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
But then they here's the funnier part, though they
they asked for one of thepackages in the back because
they want something that'shealthier than that.
So let's look at that realquick before we, before we move
on, sean.
So they have a nut pack in theback.
It's like a trail mix typething.
It's only like a couple ounceson this thing and it is
absolutely crazy.
This thing has 2.5 servings andit has 18 grams of sugar in it.
(40:51):
18 grams and and it has 11grams of added sugar of it leads
up to 22 percent 22 percent ina little tiny bag Of nuts, of
nuts.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah, you would think that nuts shouldn't be so sweet
.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Right and then okay, so here Pringles.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:12):
That little bitty can of Pringles 360 calories.
Wow, that little bitty can 360in calories.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Of something that looks like a potato chip.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Looks like a potato chip Right Now.
Okay, I was going to tell youon this one too, if you were
going to have a potato chip onan aircraft in the snack box,
kettle chips.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Kettle chips is the most organic way to go.
I mean, that's most natural.
I mean, the only thing you gotto worry about is what has been
fried in.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
A lot of it is sunflower oil.
So the kettle chips in a coupleof the snack boxes best chips
to have if you're going to havea chip on the aircraft I mean,
I'm always suspecting likepringles.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Now, like, like, how do they make a pringle like I'm
imagining them taking like somepotatoes, some other lots of
other crazy weather stuff and itbecomes like a mush and it's
like fried out into a specificshape.
Can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
But then, okay, here's one.
You've got a fruit bag, sean,like a gummy bear fruit bag.
Yeah, okay, 14 grams of sugar.
There's only two servings inthis thing, 14 grams of sugar,
and it has 14 added grams ofsugar.
It goes up to 28 in this littlebitty so it's only a little bit
(42:30):
gummy.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
Bears are just a little bit over the peanuts, but
it's fruit or the nuts supposedto be.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
It's like supposed to be this, this fruit, right?
Okay now, and the only one thatI had seen, that it was the.
The product itself was probablythe most natural with these
cookies that were there and itwas like brown sugar, the wheat,
flour, stuff like that.
Now, if you're going to eatsomething bad, that would be the
best one to eat.
Look at the product on the backof it, because you don't have a
(42:55):
ton of these preservatives inthe back of this.
But even this, even thesecookies, you have three servings
in this cookie bag and it's avery small little cookie bag.
It is total of 360 calories.
Now here's the difference inproduct right, only seven grams
(43:16):
of sugar.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
That's wild.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Only seven grams Now, with three servings.
Only seven grams.
Only seven grams Now, withthree servings, only seven grams
.
Only seven grams of added sugar, going to 14%.
Now, think about that.
That bag is probably thehealthiest bag that you could
have had snack-wise.
If you're going to eat thesugar and everything on the
plane, because the productitself was all natural product
(43:39):
that made the cookie, yeah, butyou still had three servings,
360 calories.
You're right back to the back.
You're right back to thepringles.
Wow, it is absolutely crazy.
So the way that I feel aboutthis, as far as with airline
food, if you've got to eat, eat,you know, but if you don't,
(44:00):
like you said, stop, picksomething healthy and you might
got to eat, eat.
But if you don't, like you said, stop, pick something healthy
and you might want to eat it alittle bit before you fly.
Absolutely, and drink a lot ofwater, folks, lots of water.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
Hey, let's talk about some fun facts right now.
Hey, did you know that weexperience more radiation than
you do when you have an X-ray?
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Yeah, I do.
That's one of those things thatwe don't talk about a lot.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah, I mean the airline industry doesn't really
talk about the amount ofradiation that we consume when
we're flying on a plane.
I mean the public.
They mention this, but they'vealways've always said hey, don't
worry, you're okay, you're safe.
Speaker 2 (44:47):
I'm probably as green as your shirt right now.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
Well, I've been meaning to tell you.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Yeah, glowing from the inside out, that's probably
what I am.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah, the, the, the hue that you got in the back of
your eyes right there is whenI'd be no, but like we're
exposed, I mean it's going to bevery interesting, you know,
because of like in our, in ourgeneration, you know the amount
of flying and stuff and what'shappened over the history of
aviation and stuff and flightattendants being up in the air
(45:17):
and pilots being in the air solong and stuff.
I mean someday somebody's goingto really be concerned about
this and say like yeah, yeah,that's, that's the reason why
everybody, like you know, athird of the population is
getting cancer and stuff likethat but don't you believe a lot
of that too, though sean is uhgenetics too, I mean.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
I mean, you know the radiation, I get that, but it's
the radiation that affects aperson, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
As far as with the cancer, well, well, I think it's
a compound.
You know it's a combination ofall of them.
So, like you know, you can haveeverybody's gas to succumb to
their genetics, right, right, itdoesn't matter what you do or
how healthy you can makeyourself.
If your genetics are bad oryou're predisposed to certain
things, you're going to be that.
You know you're going to bethat.
You know you're going to.
You're going to get that,whether you're going to get
(46:02):
cancer and like it's runs inyour family.
But when you get into anenvironment that increases that
or enhances that, you knowthat's what we're talking about
every day.
Yeah, anyways, uh, some otherfun facts and I don't even know
if that was a fun fact we justwent over.
Oh, that wasn't very fun at allYou're talking about cancer.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
I don't know how fun that was.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
Everybody's out there just slapping their knees that
was so funny.
Speaker 2 (46:23):
Exactly, I'm dying right now.
Yeah, he's over there glowinglike a green goblin, but yeah,
that was funny.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
Yeah, it's fun facts that people aren't like
recognizing, you know like.
That's what that's all about.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
Sean's not very funny today.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
No, you're right.
So the first airline flight wasfrom, uh, saint petersburg to
tampa, florida, and the firstpassenger sat his ass on what?
Speaker 2 (46:56):
a wooden bench.
Now that shit is funny.
Could you imagine, I meanseriously, could you imagine you
being the first passenger going?
No, seriously, it's safe, goahead, just sit on this bench
well, this is the whole scenario.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Seems like it was a dare, like it was like hey, hey,
we're gonna, we're gonna try tofly this flight over here.
You want to be, you want tocome with us, you get okay
here's.
Pick up that bench over there.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
You can set it inside the cabin don't pay pay
attention to that big-ass bodyof water we got to fly across
Right, right, I mean don't evenlook at that, don't look down.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
Yeah, it's not even hooked to the aircraft.
You have no seatbelts.
I mean it reminds me of likeautomobiles in the early days.
Speaker 2 (47:36):
Don't worry.
Speaker 1 (47:44):
It was made of driftwood in case the water
it'll float.
Just get on in in the car youknow we don't care.
Speaker 2 (47:46):
You know you're, you're safe, you're okay, you
don't need a seat belt, or.
This shit was fair.
I couldn't even imagine woodenbench dude.
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (47:51):
Now see, that was a funny one yeah, so that was a
funny, fun fact.
I mean, uh, that was, uh,that's crazy, especially how far
we've come in technology and,uh, the things that we know now,
right, but anyways, let's talkabout our destination.
Our destination this week isMinneapolis, minnesota.
Minneapolis, minnesota thatshit's cold in the wintertime.
(48:12):
I think it's cold all the time.
It feels like they have such ashort.
They're a lot like Clevelandhere, much worse, because they
have a shorter season than us.
There's good weather and allthat this stuff, but it's cold
there.
But uh, the one of the thingsthat in minneapolis is that they
have, uh, some places to gowhich most people don't go
(48:34):
outside too often in minneapolis, you know, there's only these
certain times of years.
But they have a famouswaterfall they're called
minnehaha falls and it's uh hasno relation to the henry
wadsworth longfellow's hiawatha.
Um, actually, he got the nameminnehaha from these waterfalls,
really, yeah, and so you knowthat that that literature was
(48:57):
all over america, and there'sactually many other waterfalls
in other states that are calledminnehaha just because of the
Longfellow.
Pretty interesting.
Anyhow, some of the things thatare like one of the number one
things to do is to go to Mall ofAmerica.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Now Mall of America.
It always takes me back to onestory when I was young.
What's that?
Do you remember the nightclubsthey used to have there?
Speaker 1 (49:26):
I love the nightclubs .
I mean, the nightclubs are likewow.
Speaker 2 (49:29):
They had some kick-ass nightclubs.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
I mean I used to bid those layovers just to go to
those nightclubs because I meanwe were so close, we were like
right across the parking lot,yep, and we could just walk over
.
We could, we can just walk over.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
We can stagger there and stagger back.
Okay, so this is a dumbassstory of myself.
So it's freezing outside andI'm like I don't want to take my
jacket, sure, because I waslike it's just right across the
parking lot.
I can run across there, worse,and run back.
It's no big deal.
So, anyway, I run across there,get inside the mall.
It was cold and I went insidethe club and had a great time
(50:02):
and I came out there and I'msweating and everything and I
was like damn this mall is big.
I really never walked the wholemall.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
Yeah, I mean, you just can't realize how big this
mall is.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
Right, and they always talk about the Mall of
America.
I'm like, how big is this damnthing?
There's this, you know it.
Just I was like, well, I'mgoing to see.
So they had the front door orthe front entrance where I came
in, and they had this back door.
So I'm like I'm going to go outthe back door, I'm going to
walk around half of it on theoutside of it just to see, and
then I'm going to walk aroundthe front Because it was hot
(50:32):
anyway.
I'm like I'm going to cool offa little bit and then I'm going
to get back to the hotel Dumbestdamn thing I've ever done.
Yeah, yeah, I walked outsidethat door, sean, and it was
freaking, freezing, freezing,and immediately I was like which
is not?
Speaker 1 (50:47):
unusual.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
You know, when you knew you made a mistake and you
could reach back for the doorand you tried to get back in.
No, it locked, oh no, I wasscrewed.
So what I did?
Speaker 1 (50:56):
And you're on the opposite side of the mall,
opposite side of the freakingmall and center part.
I'm dead center, you know,because all the nightclubs are
in the middle.
Speaker 2 (51:11):
Now, for everybody that has never ever been to mall
america, malone america has 500stores in it and it's five
stories high.
It is absolutely freakingridiculous.
Speaker 1 (51:14):
Yeah, I mean it has amusement park in the center of
it.
We'll talk about that a littlebit more here in just second,
but finish your story here allright.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
So I had to go around this thing.
I swear to Lord above, Ithought it was going to have
hypothermia by the time I gotback around to the middle part
in that hotel I looked like afreaking human popsicle.
Speaker 1 (51:33):
Dude.
Yeah, you could have gothypothermia or frostbitten or
any of that type of stuff.
Speaker 2 (51:40):
Bright, red, I mean it was.
It was probably one of thedumbest, stupidest things I've
ever done.
Speaker 1 (51:45):
Yeah, I mean, it's like you.
That was not smart for sure, no, no.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
Dumb dumb, dumb, dumb , but yeah, that's Mall of
America, huge, huge mall.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Right.
Anyways, talking about Mall ofAmerica, I mean, if you've never
experienced it, peopleliterally go there on freaking
vacation.
I mean, inside this mall is anamusement park it used to have
in the in back in the day, whenit first opened up, it was like
(52:15):
it was all dedicated to Snoopy.
So it was like this big Snoopyamusement park.
But now Nickelodeon has takenover and it's all Nickelodeon.
But inside of Mall of Americathere's so many things and
activities to do.
They have 3D virtual realities.
They have a zip line thing thatgoes across, because we're
telling you it's five storieshigh.
They've got these walkways andjungle gym things that are all
(52:36):
over the amusement park Rides,roller coasters.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
You can spend the whole day.
Oh, you can spend the wholeentire day there they have food.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
um, there's like there will be duplicate stores
of the same store, so, like, ifyou're going into, you know one
store that you were like, like,like, not spit it out sean you
know I can see you when you'resitting here talking about that
is.
Speaker 2 (53:01):
That would be the perfect place for, like, a young
dad, when the mom wants to goshopping, takes the kid over
there and then you don't have tomove, right, oh yeah.
I mean all you got to do isturn that kid loose in that
Nickelodeon thing and mom can goshop and you can sit there and
just watch him.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
But it's so big, I mean you can get lost so easily
in that place.
It is so big, big and you can goout the wrong door and get
locked out shut up, but anyways,mall of america is really cool,
but other things to do in many,you know, minneapolis is, uh
has this like catacombs.
It's like a catacomb city.
You can literally take tours ofthe city that you can walk
(53:36):
through all the different uhhallways and walkways that are
all connected through thebuildings because it, because
it's so cold, so much there allyear round, everything is inside
and even like the university ofMinnesota is right there, their
entire campus has likecatacombs and walkways to their
different buildings, justbecause you don't have to be
exposed to the elements.
Speaker 2 (53:55):
Or you walk out the back door and try to go around
the half.
Speaker 1 (53:58):
Yeah, so probably many students have done some
stupid shit up there for sure,but yeah, so anyways, there's
fun things to do in Minneapolis,just like any other city, and I
got to tell you, though, one oftheir most famous things to do
is to eat some of their favoritefoods, and one of their
favorite foods is one of myfavorites is stuffed burgers.
(54:21):
Have you ever had a stuffedburger?
Nope, stuffed burgers orsomething like you got to
experience.
I mean, they take thishamburger patty and think of
like two hamburger patties puttogether, but they put a big
chunk of cheese in the center ofit and then they put it all
together in a patty and grill it.
So when you bite into thisthing, just like cheese oozes
out all everywhere.
It is unbelievable, but theygot.
(54:43):
They have all kinds ofdifferent stuffed burgers, and
one I think that you might likewould be peanut butter and jelly
burger.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
You know I love peanut butter and jelly, but no
damn way am I putting peanutbutter and jelly in a burger.
Speaker 1 (54:56):
I think you would experience that no way it's not
happening.
Speaker 2 (54:59):
You would ruin that for me for life.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
I would literally buy it for you just to see you try
it.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Nope not gonna happen .
Yeah, that wouldn't, because Iknow you and peanut butter is
good.
You got a whole likerelationship going on, yeah but
that, that big chunk of cheesemight, might do it.
But no, you ain't getting me totake any peanut butter and
jelly in it.
Speaker 1 (55:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean.
So they have other like otherfamous foods that they have.
Up there is their tater tothash dish.
It's like a casserole dishwhere they put like tater tots
with ground beef, cream ofmushroom soup and other
vegetables all in it and make itinto this big casserole.
That's kind of like a thing upthere.
And then the other thing iswalleye Walleye.
(55:39):
They're known for their walleye.
So that's just some of the youknow things we're not going to
like.
Tell you one place to go.
There's lots of differentplaces that have these stuffed
burgers.
I mean pretty much anywheresells burgers there that are
like those local joints.
They're going to have stuffedburgers.
So, anyways, um, we're going towrap this up and the quote
(56:01):
today is this Lead with kindness, strength and wisdom.
Inspire others by being theexample you once looked for.
Your journey can light the wayfor someone else.
Speaker 2 (56:17):
And if you go out the back of the mall, make sure
that you have something to lightthe journey with, because that
was a dumb ass move.
Anyway, you guys, it was a lotof fun.
You guys have a great week.
Man, we had a good time oncabin pressure.
We will see you next week.
