Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast, fine,
the fifteen Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, hello, we gathered here today for the fifteen minute
Morning Show podcast, still doing our summer hours.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
It's going to be eighty degrees here tomorrow in New
York area.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah, so there you go.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
There you have it. Anyway, So around the room, we've
got Scotty b in the uh Serial Killers podcast headquarters.
We've got Danielle here, there's Gandhi. I see Scary, I
see Garrett, and I see straight.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Nate, and you see dead people.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I do. Anyway, so we were talking for a second,
like what do we talk about on the podcast. Well,
we all just came back from vacation. Some of us left,
some of us didn't, Garrett who went away for his
big birthday vacation. Yep. You were given three excuses why
your plane wasn't working. And were they all from the
same person or explain the situation.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
So I was coming home from Mexico and I was
flying United, and we get on our flight and first
I've never seen this happen. On the walkway, they put
out this little like rope to you know, so you're
walking down, but they put this rope out and the
pilot's standing there talking to the crew, and you hear
him go, just let me know when the paperwork's done

(01:31):
and we can get going. So the pilot's ready to go,
like he's jones into just take off and go. So
everybody gets on the plane, all the wheelchair people. There's
like several of them. So everybody's sitting down. I pass out,
as I normally do. Within the first thirty minutes. I
wake up, you know, in a stupor. We're still sitting there,

(01:51):
and I asked my wife, I go, what's wrong, and
they go, oh, it seems like there's a problem with
the bathroom. So I'm like, okay. So they're like, all right,
twenty minutes will be good. Twenty minutes goes by turns
into almost an hour, and they're like, uh, there's a
there's a mechanical issue on the plane. I'm like, isn't
it a bathroom issue. The crew comes on, they try

(02:15):
to fix it. Pilot comes on and goes, all right,
we're filling out the paperwork, just sending it off to Chicago.
We should be good to go in ten minutes. All right,
thirty minutes goes by. Pilot gets back on Chicago didn't
like the paperwork we filled out, so we're going to
depboard the plane and get back on.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
So that's a few excuses right there.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Then the text message alert goes, there's a technical issue
on the plane, so it's gonna be about an hour.
Then the person behind the counter goes, we're not sure
what's wrong with the plane, so we're just gonna figure
out what's going on.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
But did they ever? Obviously they did, because you ended
up coming home. He so in total, how late were you?
About five hours?

Speaker 5 (02:52):
But oh god, and we try we tried to get
an earlier flight. So like we we got rid of
our flight. We had book to get on this earlier one.
And there was the bigger issue, but the fact that
no one really knew, like you would think that someone
be like, hey, it's a mechanical issue and just stick
with that thing.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Look, look, I hate delays too, but I don't know.
I learned a long time ago in travel there's gonna
be a problem. You just got to roll with it.
You don't have a choice. Yeah, look, you can move
around and try to get other flights. I get that,
but look at an airplane. Look at all the moving parts.
It takes to then go down a runway and lift
up into the sky and then come down and land safely. Yeah,

(03:30):
I mean, okay, but it's it's always good to know why,
I see. I think that's your point, like, well, why
are we late?

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Well, it will that no one could really give the
straight answer. I mean, the text message is saying one thing,
the email saying one thing, the person behind the counter
saying one thing, the pilot one where I really think
knew the answer, really wanted to tell us the answer,
but couldn't for something.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Well, I wonder if there's if there's a rule, but
they can and cannot talk about certain things. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
This reminds me of the last time, guess a couple
of months ago when my plane had sticky valve and
we were like five hours late.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Because that sounds like a bathroom issue.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
It does, but but I thought about the wear and
tear on a plane outlis.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
You were just saying about all the moving parts. Every
time you land. Think about that.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
It's always that, And I'm like they I'm thinking, like,
oh my god, I feel bad for the people having
to take the next flight because it sounds like they
broke something. Because the plane because as every plane lands,
it's usually these hard, weird landings.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
So I'm like, something has got to have gone wrong.
So you know, things are breaking and they're fixing things constantly.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
I can kind of see where where they're coming from
with these mechanical issues.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, do we all agree, it's kind it's a miracle
that they get these things off the ground, the bucket
of bolts.

Speaker 7 (04:37):
But it was on a plane one time and I
had a seat right over the wing and I see
them duct taping something wing. I'm like, wait a minute,
that's encouraging duct tape. But then I come to find
out it's this special aluminum tape that they do. Yeah,
it's it's actually legitimate. I just thought some guy had
rolled a duct tape he was trying to put a people.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
It's funny because you brought this up on the show
before when it happened, and we all looked it up
that day. They said, indeed, there is some tape you
can use. Maybe it's best that the public not to
see you using it.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
Correct, right, Yeah, that's I think the big mistake there.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
So Gandia, how about your flights in and out? You
did okay?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, they were fine. On the way back, they did
the hey guys, no snacks, only water. But they said
it's it's a Detroit thing. It's not us thing. I
don't know what that means. They said there was something
going on with the catering team and they were they
were fighting with each other.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh want to be being of Detroit. You see what Lizo
said online?

Speaker 4 (05:28):
What'd you say?

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh you didn't see this? No, did you say? Lizzo said,
if we're not careful with our country, the whole country
is going to be like Detroit.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
People were like, what did you just say? Backlash?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Detroit's on to come up. Let me just say turning around.
It had a minute.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I was struggling, So I would go to Detroit.

Speaker 7 (05:47):
My mom grew up there, and we would go there
every summer once or twice a year. I could say
that several years ago. There were some parts that you
did not want to go. Sure, but that's true of
any city.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Absolutely. Oh, God, here in New York City. Absolutely, here
in the city. I just came back from New Orleans. Good.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
New Orleans definitely has some some some areas that you know,
but but look what you get out of it. New
Orleans is just an kick ass, wonderful city. So it
was New York City. Detroit's got really great areas. You
know more about Detroit than we do, right, Gandhi?

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Yeah, I mean I think it's great. They have all
the car manufacturers are starting to get popping a little
more again. There you go. Yeah, I mean it definitely
had a dark time, but it does seem like it's
starting to come back, so maybe.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Oh, Lizzo, Lizzo was very very hated by a lot
of people.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Thanks Lizzo.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
With that said, speaking of airplanes, there was a reddit
I think it was a Reddit string if I want
to buy a seven forty seven, how much does that
cost me? And of course I think their intention was
you buy an old seven forty seven. You haven't moved
to your property and turned it into a house.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
God why because this much money?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
I get it. I understand who has.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
The space for a plane? But try plane?

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Would I would put it in the middle of a forest.
It looks like it just landed there. But anyway, so
you know, I was I was bored, so I started
reading done the thing and the thing is it was
all people answering this string, Well, who wants to own
the seven forty seven. I mean, it's it's old technology.
You don't want to breathe that air that's circulating. And
everyone else is saying no, they're not talking about buying

(07:30):
a plane to fly. They're talking about buying it to
turn it into a house. So apparently they go in
and they take all the big engines and all the
technology out of these planes and they can sell it
or use it again somewhere or whatever. But so you
have the fuselage left, you have what you see, right,
and you can have it moved somehow and you could

(07:53):
turn it into a house.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
How cool would it be to turn into it like
a restaurant?

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Well? Did the didn't they do something like that at JFK.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, it's a twa of experience. Yeah, more there it's
a bar.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
That'll be kind of cool because I mean they I know,
there's a pizzeria not far from me, and it was
like it's an old train and they took this old
train car and they turned it into like a restaurant.
It's a pizzeria.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
It's see.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Let me let me remind you.

Speaker 5 (08:17):
Colin Jost and Pete Davidson had the same idea with
the Staten Island Ferry and it's sitting somewhere in New
Jersey right now.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
For the last two years.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
That was a bad investment made out of aluminum. And
there are some planes that are fifty years old and
they're still flying.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
So who's to say.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
That an aluminum house made from an airplane fuselage is
a bad idea?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Well, I looked up the going rate, and the good
news is the older ones are pretty inexpensive. At ten
million dollars.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh really for a plane with no.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Eny together, yes, says even older models can be bought
for as little as ten million dollars. A newer one's
gonna cost you about two hundred and fifty million, Are
you sure?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
I mean those are working planes though, aunt I said,
how much.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Does it cost by an old seven forty seven?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Okay, well, if once they take the engines off, I
think they would pay you just to get to the
hell out. I mean, there are some old airfields that
are not being used across America where they park them
into the leaders and to scare.

Speaker 7 (09:13):
In Arizona, they call it the bone Yard, and it
is just acres and acres and acres of military aircraft
and they're all just sitting there because it's the right
climate to have this stuff just sitting there where it
won't decompose.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Why don't they just get rid of it? Yeah, can'ty
sell it? The parts? Well, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
They're using it in case they need it, and then
they'll go take parts from those planes for other planes
and all that crap.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Well, look, don't a lot of airports, especially the smaller
regional airports. When you go to the airport, it's typically
like in the middle of nowhere. They just want to
put it out of town. And they have all the
all the auto the yards full of this old junked
up cars. And the one in Santa Fe, New Mexico,

(09:56):
by the way, I don't know if you've ever seen it.
It's just acres and acres of just beating up old
pieces of crap cars. I guess you can go out
there and like steal a hood everyone in a while,
or pay for it. But that's all it is. It's
not very attractive.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Well, it seems like these these plane burial grounds will
be like a crackhead's dream.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
No, I would love it.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
All the parts guys with the machine guns guarding.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Oh, I take it back, and when you take out
all the parts inside, it drastically drops. You can get
it for a little less than a million. Sometimes if
they're really jank two hundred and fifty thousand, Oh.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Wow, that's it. But the question, of course Daniel was
asking like where do you put it? Like where are
you gonna put this thing? Which leads me to I
never mind. I was gonna bring up something else we do.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Wait, if we bought it, we could do a haunted
airplane ride, like have a haunted airplane during Halloween time.
Give the money to charity. Can you buy that?

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Okay, let's do that. I don't know. You know, there's
nothing worse than getting on a plane. And you look
through the movies, and several of the films well actually
are about plane crashes. What are you doing the worst?

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Do you? Guys? Ever look around on the plane and
just think, I'm not going to die with these people.
This is not it.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
I'm not going to This is all the time I
think of a plane is a magical little room that
I go in and when it lands, I'm magically in
another city.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I don't think about flying. That's like my dogs look
at elevators like that. They look at a wall. The
wall opens, they walk in, the wall closes, the wall opens.
Where the hell, same thing for you. I guess, so,
I guess so? All right, are we out of a fuel?

Speaker 4 (11:46):
How much time did we do?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
We're almost twelve minutes? Wow, time flies when we're guys.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
We're raising the bar. We're raising the.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Everyone, have a beautiful day, take care of the fifteen
