Talk to us! Leave us a message, or ask a question?

Ever watch a safety drill and wonder what it feels like on the other side? We open with the grit behind flight attendant recurrent training—peer pressure, tiny procedural details, and the CPR updates that never seem to stop—then shift gears into the strange-but-true world of October: presidents born this month, why black and orange became the season’s colors, and how Irish turnips morphed into American pumpkins. Along the way, we call out the difference between real service animals and entitled passengers, laugh at wheelchair pre‑boarding grifters, and shake our heads at the chaos that erupts when two brand‑new gate agents are left to run a flight alone.

Memory plays tricks on all of us, and we compare notes on how confidently wrong a story can feel when our brains fill gaps—backed by research and a few friendly fact checks from a die‑hard fan. Then it’s a fast tour of aviation oddities and global headlines: a bomb threat posted from a seat in Singapore, a million pounds of cocaine seized at sea, a 15‑mask meltdown, China’s jaw‑dropping glass bridge with a waterfall and elevator, and one traveler who tried to flex “Global Service” status with… an Explorer card. The jaw‑dropper? A passenger sentenced to six months of community detention for excessive kissing on a packed flight.

We wrap with a simple ethic for tight spaces: respect trained service dogs, ask us to move you if needed, and save the drama for the destination. If you like a mix of real airline life, curious history, and sharp humor, you’re in the right cabin. Subscribe, share this with a travel‑obsessed friend, and drop your wildest airport or Halloween memory in a review—we might read it on the next show.

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Welcome back, folks.
This is G.
It's October.
I spent the entire day doingfall cleanup, raking leaves,
trimming hedges, sun up thesundown.
Man, I'm exhausted.

SPEAKER_01 (00:10):
And I'm Sean.
Gee, didn't you have a run-inwith someone who apparently
thinks service animals areoptional?

SPEAKER_00 (00:16):
Man, don't get me started.
Some people think their personalspace is more important than,
let's say, the law.

SPEAKER_01 (00:22):
Well, I got to deal with the world's worst driver
and watch Road Crew basicallycosplay as a traffic done.
So basically a normal Tuesday inlife.

SPEAKER_00 (00:32):
Well, buckle up, everyone, because today we're
diving into fake memories yourbrain makes up, presidential
birthdays, why people used tocarve turnips instead of
pumpkins, and a guy who gotkicked off the plane for you
guessed it, kissing hisgirlfriend way too much.

SPEAKER_01 (00:47):
Too much kissing on a plane?

SPEAKER_00 (00:49):
Is that even possible?
Six months of communitydetection kind of possible.

SPEAKER_01 (00:54):
All right.
Now I'm interested.
Let's do this.

(01:23):
Hello.
Yeah.
Here we are today, people.
G was not expecting that one.
He just was he was expecting waymore.
I'm I'm sitting here indisbelief right now.
I know.
You know, sometimes simple'sgood.

(01:45):
Simple.
Simple intros.
I don't think you could got moresimple than that.

unknown (01:51):
That's right.

SPEAKER_01 (01:52):
Hey uh, so man, I just got back from recurrent
training.

SPEAKER_00 (01:58):
That that's a lot of fun, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 (02:00):
Yeah, that's a fucking blast.

SPEAKER_00 (02:02):
What do you okay?
Now, every flight attendant thatknows about recurrent training,
what do you think the the bigdeal?
We've done this for years.

SPEAKER_01 (02:11):
Years.
It's funny that you didn't evensay that because when we checked
into this year for uh recurrenttraining, you had to like scan
your badge.
Right.
You know, like they're in thestupid scanning badge shit.
And uh it pops up, boom, right?
Like the whole class is standingthere, boom, scam a badge, boom.
36 years.
Wow, there you go.

(02:31):
I'm like, wait a minute, wow,I've done this 36 times.
You know, this is crazy.
I mean, like, so our recurrenttraining used to be once a year,
but now it just recently changedto every 18 months.
So one and a half years.
And you used to be a trainer.
Yeah, and I used to be a trainertoo.
So it wasn't like recurrent, Idon't get whacked out about

(02:52):
recurrent training.
It's just like, you know, I givemyself the night before, I do a
little review, brush up on stuffthat I don't do every day, you
know, but what we're trained todo, and uh just step into it.
And usually it goes just fine.

SPEAKER_00 (03:06):
I think with recurrent training, though, with
the flight attendants, a lot oftimes when you're um you're it's
it's like peer pressure, don'tyou think?
I mean, because you're sittingthere, and a lot of times you
don't know these people thatyou're with, but you're sitting
there and and it's it's thatpersonal evaluation as they're
watching you.

SPEAKER_01 (03:23):
Yeah, I don't want to be the dummy in the room.
That's what I'm saying.
I know, like, like I don't wantto be the dumbest person in the
room.
Yeah, and we always know knowthat when you get there, like,
and this is for any class, likeanything you do in life, like
you get there and you got thatone numb school.

SPEAKER_00 (03:39):
You don't want to be the one that they walk back in
the room going, uh, I don'twhat's his name?
Because I don't want to fly withhis ass.

SPEAKER_01 (03:46):
I mean, yeah, no doubt.
Like, I mean, uh, there was wehad that one numb school, and
you know, she was like she waslooking at emergency equipment
like she had first seen it, andshe was that she'd been doing it
for more than 25 years.
Right.
And she was like looking at likepicking up a fire extinguisher
like, oh, what is this?
That's a scary thing.

(04:07):
It's scary.
It's scary, man.
I'm just like, yeah, you know,we've all experienced it and
we've all seen those type ofpeople.

SPEAKER_00 (04:14):
It is good though.
I mean, for it's good for acatch-up, though.
I mean, you go back and and kindof um uh you you look at some of
the things you've already known,but it kind of refreshes in your
head.

SPEAKER_01 (04:25):
Yeah, no, it keeps you kind of up to date too.
Like the one thing that is justlike mind-boggling to me is like
through our career, like in thelast 35 years for us, right?
How many damn times has CPRchanged?
Like CPR changes like everyyear.
Yeah, and this is not like forjust our industry, it's like
this is worldwide.
Like, it's every time it'schanging, and I'm like, it it

(04:48):
boggles my mind like, why is itnow this?
It's kind of like reminds me oflike COVID, you know, like, oh,
you know, we everybody's gottaput on masks, and you know, and
then they were like, you know,everybody's gonna get shot, and
no, the shot's terrible, youknow, like they're changing
their mind constantly.
Every day they were changingtheir mind like during COVID,
they do the same thing with CPR,and it's just it boggles my

(05:09):
mind, man.

SPEAKER_00 (05:09):
What's funny is is you did CPR actually on a
passenger.
I I assisted CPR numerous timeson the airplane.
And if you ever seen some of thethe Cleveland Clinic doctors, I
mean, when we get in a situationwe had, man, they're jump this
lady jumped on top of thisdude's chest, started
compressions right away.
Right after the the whole thingsaved this guy's life, okay, in

(05:31):
flight.
Uh and afterwards, I was talkingto her and I said, you know,
before it was like, you know,give two rescue breaths and then
start compressions.
Right.
And she was like, if there's noblood moving, doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Right.
So I mean, she was just, I mean,and she she was pounding this
dude.
Well, okay.
And it saved his life.

(05:51):
But, you know, and it just makessense, and you're right.
They've they've changed it somuch from the time that we
started now.

SPEAKER_01 (05:58):
Yeah.
I mean, it's just, it's justthat's my one thing that every
year I'm like, what are we doingthis year?
Yeah.
Because it changes every time.
And now, like, right, the thethe going trend right now is you
know, if you're older than 12,all you do is chest
compressions.
Period.
So that's it.
You you identify it, and thisperson needs CPR, and boom, you

(06:21):
start doing chest compressionsuntil you get the person can
gets woken up, or you get an ADthere to help you out, or all
that good stuff.

SPEAKER_00 (06:29):
It goes back to that what I just said, what she said
about the blood.

SPEAKER_01 (06:32):
But then everybody underneath that, so 12 years and
below, yeah, we do the standard30 and two breaths.
You know, so I'm like, it's justinteresting.
Like every, you know, every yearthis changes.
And so that's one thing I'mlike, I gotta over what are we
doing this year?
Because I don't know whatwhatever.

SPEAKER_00 (06:51):
Okay, this is what I gotta do.

SPEAKER_01 (06:52):
I'm doing it.
Cool.

SPEAKER_00 (06:53):
Don't you hate when you gotta go back though?
I mean, you you you screw upthat little bitty one thing.
Yeah.
And then you gotta go back.
I have that's a bucket of sucks.

SPEAKER_01 (07:01):
I haven't I don't think I've ever gone back in my
career on anything.
This year I thought I was gonnago back on one, I thought I blew
it on one of my drills, but um,I haven't had to go back um
ever.
But, you know, it's not anythinglike you know, it could happen
to anybody.
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (07:18):
You know, it's not because I'm not saying that
like, oh, I'm Superman or thinglike that, but it's just you
know, anybody can you can screwup a command, you can screw up a
procedure or whatever, andthey'll make you it's as simple
as a what mine was was the firsttime I ever had to go back was
the last time, and what it waswas on an aircraft that I'm not
usually on, but it was simplythis it was an assist handle.

(07:39):
Yeah, didn't grab didn't grabassist handle.
Yeah, I was grabbing hold ofsomething else, but not the the
required assist to handle.
Yeah.
So so you know, I mean, but I Imean I get it, but uh still
going back.

SPEAKER_01 (07:50):
I gotta tell you, like, you know, for people that
don't aren't airline familiarand everything, you know, the
assist handle on the plane islike this every door has its
handle, there are handles allover the doors that we're
supposed to hold on to so wedon't get pushed out during
evacuation, right?
Right.
So, but here's my thing, myproblem with him.
Like, I'm a big ass dude.
Yep.
And then the spaces they want usto stand in, we don't fit.

(08:12):
Yeah, no kidding, no way.
And I'm like, people ain't gonnabe knocking me off the plane.
Oh, yeah.
I'll be knocking people off theplane, but I'm not gonna be
knocked off the plane.
Yeah, like I'm gonna beprotecting myself, period.
You know, like you and I it'sjust gonna be natural instincts
for us to defend ourselves andkeep ourselves safe, right?
Um, and if they could see that,that we're at least trying to

(08:32):
stand out of the way orwhatever, but she's like, this
instructor less that I just hadyesterday.
She was like, you know, youshould stand in there.
I'm I'm trying to put my body inthere.
I'm like, I I don't fit.
I don't I can't fit in thisspot, right?

SPEAKER_00 (08:46):
I'm like, 210, are you shitting me?
There ain't no way in hell I'mgoing in that spot.
I mean, they're they're they'relooking at themselves and
they're like a buck five.

SPEAKER_01 (08:54):
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, these tiny gags andstuff, they can squeeze into
there, but not me.
Not you and I.

SPEAKER_00 (09:00):
Nope.
Oh no.
We're just throwing people outthe out out the door.
Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_01 (09:05):
It's crazy.
Anyhow, uh, so that was that wasyesterday.
And uh today, man, I've been hadto go do some car shuffling
because we're like, you know,getting new cars and switching
cars and getting rid of cars andall this stuff.
And we're trying to tune upthese cars because we gotta
drive one of our cars for alonger period of time than we
were anticipating.

(09:25):
But anyhow, I need to get newtires on this stupid car, even
though I'm gonna get rid of thiscar because it's gonna be winter
and we're gonna be driving induring the winter.
Yeah.
So I'm looking at these tiresand stuff, and tires, man, are
just they are such a so crazy.
Crazy, man.
I I've done prices, right?
Well, I'm not just talkingprices, it's just like there's

(09:46):
so much variables to a tire outthere.
Like uh, I was talking to uh Gum G Dub, and he I was he was
talking about his tires on hiscar and everything, and he's got
like performance tires, and thenthese, you know, those little
skinny tires, big rims, and allthat stuff.
But then he has to, you know, innortheast Ohio, you need to

(10:06):
change out those tires, andyou're not gonna make it through
the winter if you plan ondriving that car in the winter.
And uh, so he has like two setsof wheels, which is expensive as
shit, right?
And so I'm like, I was like,wow, the tires are so freaking
ridiculous right now.
And I just I did I don't know.
I was just I had to go throughthis whole thing with these

(10:27):
tires, and I was like, uh, andthen I got I have like run
flats, so then those arespecial, and then they got
special valves and specialprices, yeah.
Special prices, and then theygot like, you know, and then my
you know, I got a highperformance vehicle.
And so have you ever been to aplace where they balance your
tires and you you drive the damnthing off and they're wobbling?

(10:48):
No.
It's happened to me, it'shappened to me where I've like
I've had my wheels balanced andI'm like, why do I got a
vibration, right?
And I'm turning around and goingback and like, what's going on?
Because a lot of these garages,some of them aren't rated to
even get do these highperformance tires.
So they have to have the rightmachines and right tools for the
job.

(11:08):
And some of these places don'thave it.
So if you're not going, ifyou're going to like some Joe
shop, you know, like they mighthave it, they'll be like, Yeah,
we'll do it.
So you gotta pay more money.
Yeah, I gotta go to a specificshop, you know.
Like, so anyways, tires are apain in the butt.

SPEAKER_00 (11:25):
Mine is just a performance car.

SPEAKER_01 (11:27):
So speaking about tires, man, I'm I'm driving here
uh when we're doing the cars andeverything, and there's this
road crew, and they're down onRiver Sticks, you know where
Riversticks is, but the thisthis road has a lot of like uh
bumps and turns and blind spotsthat uh you turn on the road.
And it just so happened thiscrew was working on I don't know

(11:48):
what they were a power line orsomething like that, but it was
right on a bump at a blind turn.
And this dude in one of thosedamn pregnant roller skate cars,
you know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, those little like littleSuzuki, like like you barely two
people could get into it, right?
I don't even know if you couldput a freaking wallet in the
backseat, but um, it is thislittle dude, he's creeping up on

(12:11):
the dude with the stop sign andliterally just trying to like
edge by him and he keepsrolling.
The dude takes the stop sign andlike tips it down and like puts
it right in front of hiswindshield.
That's how close he is to thisdude.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Like, give these people somerespect, they're doing a
dangerous job already, and thennow you're like encroaching on

(12:34):
them.
And man, like a supervisor'scome running over from this
other truck, and then nowthey're like on them, like
they're like a team, they'reready to get on, and big girl
comes out.
I'm like, little Suzuki,pregnant roller skate, getting
ready to get stomped.
Stupid drivers, stupid driver.
He was stupid as hell, and thenhe like goes through the past

(12:55):
when we finally get to go, to goaround, and then he stops that
the other guy with the sign,like saying stop, and he's
complaining to that guy aboutthe crew back there.
I'm like, you fucking idiot?
Like you're an idiot.

you, he wasn't like the pictureof health.

SPEAKER_00 (15:23):
Okay.

Because I had got you to where Iwanted you.

SPEAKER_00 (15:38):

That's all I did was trimbushes, hedges.
I mean, I I've got freaking uhJapanese maples, I've got all
kinds of trees.
I had to prune stuff.

(15:59):
I was constantly dragging thisshit to the back of the
property.
I got two huge piles of stuff.
And you you know, I mean, you'reyou're spent.
I mean, seriously, I'm I'm notyoung.
I'm 59, I'm in pretty decentshape, but shit, you're dragging
that shit all the way to theback of property.
I have like two, almost threeacres of property, and I got a
burning pit all the way in theback.
And I was dragging this stuffconstantly back and forth um,

(16:23):
you know, across the lawn.
And then I was about ready toget done, and I was like, I
gotta mow.
Because it's gonna rain.
It's gonna rain into like twodays, it's October.
And if you don't, if you don'tget out there and mow, you'll be
bailing it.

SPEAKER_01 (16:35):
It's raining all day today, right?

SPEAKER_00 (16:37):
And so, you know, I was out there even longer, so
sun up to sundown, man.
I was I was knocking it out,man.
It was crazy.
You need to move.
Yeah, I need to move.
I need to move in your spareroom, dude.
Like, you got a nice deck andeverything over here.
I can just come play golf.
It don't take much.

SPEAKER_01 (16:57):
Yeah, dude, and I I literally, well the one thing
like getting older and thinkingabout like retirement and all
that stuff, you you startthinking about like your house
and how it's set up, you know,and like first floor masters are
a big deal to people, right?
I mean, like everybody gettingolder wants first floor master,
everybody wants to, you know,because stairs are a challenge,

(17:18):
you know, all that stuff.
Working outside.
I don't even want to workoutside ever again in my life,
but you know, I mean, somepeople enjoy it and like do
gardening and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_00 (17:28):
I I get that, you know, because it is relaxing and
you're working with your handsand all that stuff, but you'll
be hearing me each October comeback here and tell you how much
bullshit I was doing out in thatyard.
Yeah, but now you could at leastsaid, Oh, you could share some
space here, G, but you didn't.
But let's talk about sharingspace.
Let around, G.

SPEAKER_01 (17:47):
Where's the space?
What you want behind thatblanket over there?

SPEAKER_00 (17:50):
Yeah, that'll work.
All right, this person was on aplane the other day, and it it
was unbelievable.
Now, this is gonna be for thegolden retrievers, uh, you know,
the people that are uh golden uhowners.
This beautiful little goldenretriever was uh a service
animal laying at the bulkhead.

(18:10):
And this person in the aisleseat, man, Sean, I'm telling
you, what a nasty person.
Did not want to share this spaceat all with this dog.
This dog didn't do anything,just laid down.
You know, a service animal, trueservice animal.

SPEAKER_01 (18:23):
But then but the animal was in encroaching in
their foot space or whatever?
The tail.
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (18:28):
Give me a break.
Right?
And and and all she did wasbitch the whole time.
And all I could think about wasyou're so lucky that that woman
isn't like one of those peoplethat like take a picture of you
and send it out to every allthose golden retriever owners
because man, they just blow youup everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 (18:50):
You know it.
She wanted something.
It's just bullshit.
I mean, you know, it's thosepeople that you run into every
day, like you know, they see,oh, okay, I'm getting
inconvenienced, so how can Itwist this to make it like work
for me to so I can get somethingout of this?
And she was probably bitching,bitching, thinking that we as an
airline are gonna give himsomething as compensation or

(19:11):
some bullshit like that.
You know, like I I can't standpeople like that.

SPEAKER_00 (19:14):
Yeah, well, we didn't give her anything.

SPEAKER_01 (19:16):
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (19:17):
Because I can't stand that because this was a
true service animal, they'resupposed to be on the aircraft,
they're the best passengers wehave most of the time.
So, yeah, I mean it just it'sjust irritating.
And all I can think about isman, you're you're you're lucky
because if that woman would havesnapped a picture of you and put
it on some site, man, you you'dhave been getting a lot of
responses.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (19:38):
So she shouldn't have done it.

SPEAKER_00 (19:39):
Yeah.
They had these two ladies, Iseen this video, man.
Did you see this one?
So they were handicappedboarding, and uh and and they
supposedly couldn't walk, butthey walked over and and while
they were waiting for theirflight, and they walked over,
stood in line, they got theirfood, and then they came back
and then they sat back in theirwheelchairs.

SPEAKER_01 (20:02):
This is this is that wheelchair scamming thing.
You know, like you they knowthat they can ask for a
wheelchair and they're gonna getbored at first, so they bypass
all the different like you know,priority customers and people
that have like flown many, manymiles, you know, but then they
tick pick their big fat asses.

(20:23):
If you've seen the video,they're both big fat asses and
they wheel them out itself downand then they probably walked
off the plane, right?
You know, at the end.
That's what they always do.

SPEAKER_00 (20:34):
Well, they walked over from the food court, right?
I mean, it it's uh it really is.
I mean, it's kind of comical,but it's really unbelievable
that that these people get awaywith this stuff.
I mean, it it's crazy.
I mean, the the people thatactually need wheelchairs and
they need to pre-board, and andthese people just walk over, act
like it's okay, they sit downand then then they just get in

(20:56):
line to board.
It it was just it was funny,comical, and also sad.

SPEAKER_01 (21:00):
Yeah, I mean we any given flight, I'd say like on a
main line aircraft, it's like wehave ten wheelchairs.
Five, ten wheelchairs is kind oflike an average type of thing,
but I mean you some we exceedthat.
We've been up in twentieswheelchairs, and when you start
getting those big high numberslike that, that's when you're
like a certain percentage ofthese people are just scammers.

SPEAKER_00 (21:23):
Right.

SPEAKER_01 (21:24):
It's just ridiculous.
They were big time scammers, butpeople got video of them.

SPEAKER_00 (21:28):
I mean, you know, you're you're all all over the
internet.

SPEAKER_01 (21:32):
Well, they got video because they were making they
were making a scene, probably.

SPEAKER_00 (21:36):
No, they weren't even making a scene.
They were just they it what itwas was they were supposed that
it was a pre-boarding thing, andthese people were going, well,
these guys were supposed to uhpre-board and sitting in
wheelchairs, and they they gotup out of the wheelchairs,
walked over to the food court,got their food, stood in line,
came back and sat in theirwheelchairs and waited to board
the plane.

SPEAKER_01 (21:56):
Yeah, it's those people that have like built
themselves up to get thatprivilege to be able to board
early and all that stuff.
And then here's these fat assesrolling in, bringing their
Burger King with them.

SPEAKER_00 (22:06):
You're gonna love this one though.
So we're we're ready, we'reready to uh we just came in,
right?
Just dropped off our load ofpassengers.
We're sitting there, and youknow that after the cleaners are
done, everybody's done, we'resitting there going, okay, why
aren't we boarding?
Right.
So we go up, we go up, open upthe door, there's the passengers
in groups one, two, and three.

(22:26):
They're all ready to go.
Pilots are there, flightattendants are there, no gate
agents.

SPEAKER_01 (22:31):
No agents.

SPEAKER_00 (22:32):
No agents.

SPEAKER_01 (22:33):
That's gonna delay you.

SPEAKER_00 (22:36):
So they they're calling these two agents.
They're brand new.
They've been there like twoweeks.
One of them uh is like in theconcourse somewhere, the other
one's on the other side of thesecurity.
So they they rushed thisboarding, and you know, we're
trying to get the plane out ontime so these people get get on
their way.
And they the agent came downthere and she's like put
pointing at her at her uh herelectronic device, telling us

(23:00):
boarding complete, boardingcomplete.
I'm like, boarding complete,yeah, but they're all the way up
the jetway.

SPEAKER_01 (23:06):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (23:06):
It doesn't matter that your boarding is complete.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (23:09):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (23:10):
Is that crazy?

SPEAKER_01 (23:11):
That's stupid, man.
I mean like people the pressuresof the you know, the internal
pressures of the organizationsthat out there try to get these
agents to like board theaircraft and they got to do it
in a certain time, and they havethis window.
And I get all that stuff, thatDOT on time performance for the
airline and all that stuff.
But at the same time, you know,like life is life, shit happens,

(23:34):
and you know, these delays andwhatever the for whatever reason
why they weren't there, whoknows, whatever.
But you can only do it so fast.

SPEAKER_00 (23:42):
But the mistake that they made though truly was this
they put two brand new people atthe same gate.
Well, that's stupid.
And they they had no idea theywere supposed to be there.

SPEAKER_01 (23:51):
Yeah, it's kind of like you know, like we don't,
you know, our airline doesn'tput two brand new pilots in the
cockpit.
Nope.
You know, like that there'srules and regulations against
that, you know, like you can'tdo that.
Now they could put five brandnew flight attendants in the
back.
And they do.
And they do.
Right.

SPEAKER_00 (24:12):
But flying a plane, no.
All right.
Did you know that did you knowthat your brain can actually
generate false memories?

SPEAKER_01 (24:21):
Like kinda, I guess.
Think about that for a minute.
Like false memories.
Right.
I mean, uh I yeah, for sure,because people hallucinate for
people, you know, do all theseweird stuff, but but like you
can tricking yourself and givingyourself false memories of some
sort.
It's you know, like it I I Icount this to the people like

(24:44):
like I remember it this way andyou remember it that way.

SPEAKER_00 (24:47):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (24:48):
And one way is true.

SPEAKER_00 (24:49):
That's exactly it.
I mean, because when you whenyou yeah, when you start
thinking about it and and all ofa sudden you're like you create
this false memory in your headgoing, um, yeah, no, it was it
was black, it was black.
And they're like, No, it wasn'tblack, man, it was red.
Right.
No, it wasn't.
It was black.
I swear, I swear it was black,right?
So our brains actually create, Imean, we we actually create

(25:11):
false memories.
And it could have been like umlike a certain dog or or or a
cat or something like that, andthen and we created something
else in our head, and then lateron in life, we actually tell
this story, and the personthat's when the person looks at
you and says, mm-mm.
That didn't happen.
Nope.
Didn't happen that way.
No.
So researchers, they did this,they actually planted these

(25:32):
thoughts in people's heads.
I thought it was reallyinteresting that but you know,
and the more I thought about itis I've I've told a story
before, and you know, a personsaid, gee, that wasn't exactly
it.
Exactly how it happened, right?
And you know, and and you thinkback and you're like, oh, you
know, something to write.
It wasn't like that.

(25:53):
You created your own falsememory in your head.

SPEAKER_01 (25:56):
Yeah, so yeah, and this is gonna be hilarious
because your number one fan saysthat I don't always get my facts
right on the show.
I'm loving your mom already.
But remember, remember this.
It's just like we said, we bothremember two different things,

(26:19):
and she remembers it one way,and I remember it one way.
No, what's the truth?
I have no idea, whatever, butyou know, like you know, that
does happen.
But yeah, that's it'sinteresting to think about for
sure.

SPEAKER_00 (26:30):
I'm loving the fact that I I've got a number one
fan.

SPEAKER_01 (26:34):
Right?
I'm gonna have her show up here.
I'm gonna go, I'm buying her ourshirt and I'm putting number one
fan right on it.
There you go.

SPEAKER_00 (26:42):
You can take a picture and send it.
You have to post it.
That's right.
So, you know, it is October, andand I was sitting there
thinking, I was like, you know,let's talk about October a
little bit because this is thisis actually a pretty cool month.
Yeah.
Lots of things happen inOctober.
Did you know that October wasthe eighth month on the Roman

(27:03):
calendar?
Nope.

time.

SPEAKER_00 (27:16):

I thought it was pretty cool.
Yeah.
Now, presidents that were bornin October.

$3,500 after posting a bombthreat on Instagram while seated
on the flight at in in Singaporeairport.

Now think about that.
$3,500.
That's the difference of beingin China and being in the United
States.
Oh, easy.
Right?

SPEAKER_01 (41:27):
What would happen in the United States?
I want to know what the hisintention was.
Like, he did he just want to goback to the gate?

have happened to him?

SPEAKER_00 (41:36):

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (41:41):
Here in China, you you're just posting$3,500.
A fine.

We'd probably get a fine too,though.
Well, you're gonna get a fine,but you're going to jail.

SPEAKER_01 (41:53):
Initially.
He probably went to jail too.
Just didn't say it.
But it's regardless, to do thatact, you shouldn't like, period.
That should be higherconsequences.
You'd think$3,500.
How many people heinconvenienced over that stupid
reac you know action?
Yeah.
That's crazy, man.

SPEAKER_00 (42:13):
All right.
Florida drug task force seized arecord one million pounds of
cocaine.

They shot another drug boat,boom.
Blew it up.

SPEAKER_01 (42:32):
Boom.

SPEAKER_00 (42:33):
You uh, you know, I I gotta say, I I do like those

(43:07):
But you know what?
That the other part about it onthe serious note, it's sad too,
because for people that areprobably doing it, they're
probably gotten all kinds ofpromises of whatever, you know.
It reminds me of Terrace, youknow?
Right.
They they they promise them allthese things.
You're gonna get, you know, 50virgins in your next life, and

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
