Swamp Watch.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. It's not for swamp Watch
swamp Horrible government doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Man, we make It's like a reality TV show, Bad Noos.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC. Hey, Joe,
he's a town.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
All too clearly built on a swamp and in so
many ways.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Still a swamp. I have to watch you, malarkey, boy said,
drained the swamp. I said, Oh, that's so he keeps, you.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
Know the thing.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
So they're calling it a surprise announcement by President Biden
that he's pardoning his son Hunter. But that is disingenuous,
isn't it. I wasn't surprised by this, And they said
that it was nothing close to a spur of the
moment decision, that apparently he'd planned this for more than
three months, according to White House sources.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
That was that NBC that reported that do you know
that specifically, that he'd been thinking about it for a while.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yes, sources of say Biden was not involved in Hunter's
case in any way until June of last year, when
a plea deal was rejected by the judge that he
was agitated at the reversal and felt like at that
point Hunter had become a political pawn. Of course, Hunter
was convicted on three gun related charges this past June,

(01:23):
so the Hunter and his legal team felt the second trial,
where he was charged with nine tax related charges, was winnable.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Yet he pleaded.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Guilty in September, and at the time, remember you and
I were like, why would you do that? Because his
lawyers thought that they would get a not guilty verdict
in that one. It was an open plea as well,
meaning there was no deal regarding sentencing with prosecutors.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
So it was just like he walked.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Into there and handed the prosecutor as a win and
everyone's like, why, well, it was done. The guilty plea
was done full well knowing that by In was going
to pardon him.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, And the timing of it, as opposed to waiting
until January nineteenth or would have come and you know,
the very very end of a term like that to
come out all your pardons. He's going to be sentenced
next week and this is a specifically important time to
do it. There's there, but there's some weirdness about all

(02:24):
of this. The President did issue a full and unconditional
pardon for any offenses that Hunter Biden has committed or
may have committed or taken part in during the period
from January first, twenty fourteen, through December one, twenty twenty
four That's a that has a wide swath right there,

(02:45):
and we know that a lot of drug use happened.
Even in the statement and the pardon statement that came
out last night, President Biden said that his sun Hunter
has been cleaned for five and a half years.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Well that's a lot longer than five and a half years.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
So he's pardoning him for things that he may have
done while he was high as well. Now listen, you
can assume Republicans hate this thing.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
For months, he and his White House spokespersons promised the
American people they wouldn't pardon Hunter Biden. We now know
that his word, as of Biden, especially about pardons.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Is trash.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Senator Tom Cotton out of Arkansas. This is an interesting
point that he makes as well.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Joe Biden may come to regret this decision because having
given his son a blanket pardon of eleven years to
include time when Joe Biden was Vice president. Hunter Biden
now can't plead the fifth if he appears before Congress
or appears before a grand jury, he has to testify
about exactly what he was up to, for instance, when

(03:48):
he was traveling to China on Air Force two and
meeting with Chinese communist princelings, or why he was being
paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to sit under Ukrainian
Energy Company's board for which he had no qualifications. So
that may be one unintended consequence of this pardon that
Joe Biden didn't fully think through.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
One of the others is Tim Nanoff Tally, who is
a longtime professor. He said that this another unintended consequence
may be.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
I fear that though President Trump Elect Trump didn't need
an excuse to engage in wide scaled pardoning for example
of the January sixth, those are convicted for crimes in
January sixth, there as a result of January sixth, This
just I think helps justify it for President Electrump. And

(04:38):
at this time when we're so divided as a nation.
I believe that the scope of the pardon that President
Biden has issued for his son was not helpful.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Can I just say that I feel that the term
princeling is emasculating. You're already the son of somebody very powerful,
which just makes you the prince and you gotta add
onto the prince ling like a little duck like a
little duckling, prince like prince ling? Does that drive you
to be just as powerful as your dad? Maybe you've

(05:11):
got issues so you don't have to be called a
prince ling anymore.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Deep seated issue, I wouldn't you. Democrats have also been
pretty critical of all of them.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
How much moral high ground has Biden seated here?

Speaker 6 (05:22):
I respect President Biden. I know it was incredibly difficult decision,
but I think he had it right previously where he
indicated he would not pardon his own son, and I
think he did the right thing by propping up and
showing support for our justice system.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's democratic representative of Arizona. Guy named Greg Stanton Trump, Okay.
President elect Trump has said that this was an abuse
and a miscarriage of justice. He said, does the pardon
given by Joe to Hunter include the j six hostages who.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Have been who have now been in prison for years?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
What I think again, I said that he should have.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I surprised he didn't, but he still could say I
was going to do this all along. Yeah, I was
going to throw a bone two Democrats to the Biden family, specifically,
I was going to do something that was going to
heal this divide in our country by pardoning Hunter Biden.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Because you know, if you're dying to see the other
Biden go.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
To go to prison, that you got other things that
you should you should do.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I'm not saying he's not guilty of these things.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm just saying that there are other fish, bigger fish
to fry, and you could have easily Trump could have
easily played this card and and won some points.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's like you think about what he was brought up on, right,
the tax and the guns. Think he's just such a
crooked human, you know. And I get it, like family
life has been awful and you've gone through tragedy, and
I understand that, but the whole whoever that was laid
it out perfectly, you forget all that because he's such
a hurricane of a person. You forget that he went

(07:14):
to Ukraine and sat on that board and used his
dad's name repeatedly for his own benefit, not caring about
the country or anything, only looking out for number one,
And like that's that is kind of hard to overlook.
But that's how all these cronies work, right, Like Trump
and Biden, they're not that different, you know. So on
one hand, yes, you'd like to think that you would

(07:35):
take seriously what Hunter Biden did wrong. But on the
other hand, you know, you want the same for your
kid if your kid was in trouble, And it's all nepotism.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
It's the same family dynamic, sure that exists in thousands
of families across the country. It's just that this one
is done in a very high profile with a lot
of money involved. And again I'm not excusing anything the
Hunter Biden did, but it's an explainable, understandable feeling for
a father to feel that way about his son. November

(08:05):
felt like a blur.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
What was November?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
What was November? I remember Thanksgiving? That was great, And
then yesterday my.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Wife, about halfway through the day said, is December? I know?
And it was jarring.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
It is jarring because that also meant that because Thanksgiving
was late, you know, it was late in the month,
there was not a lot of You got to throw
your leftovers away by December. That's a rule, right, So
yesterday we plowed through everything that we could and made
a mess of food.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
And then I'm still eating it today and probably tomorrow
because I was gone for a few days right after
I left on Friday, got back last night, so I had, like,
I just had the Thanksgiving meal and no leftovers.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
So I'm just gonna roll the dice. Hurts, I know, hurts.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, we put some turkey into a soup last night,
and then that will probably last for today and then
it's all gone, and then whatever vestiges of Thanksgiving are
just gone.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
The only leftover turkey I had on Friday were the
chicken wings at Magic City. I don't know if they
were leftovers, but they were chicken.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
It would be funny if they started selling turkey wings.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
That would be kind of cool if they did turkey
sandwiches on the Friday after.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
He asks us.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Nobody asks us at the bottom of the hour, why
you are old?

Speaker 3 (09:30):
That's what we're gonna talk about.

Speaker 7 (09:31):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Because we say things like can you believe it's already December?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Okay, No, it's true. I did it too, We all
did it. But who said it? I thought it? I
thought it. No googling Google, Google, Google makes you.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Old and saying things like I can't believe it's December
already and Google and Google.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Cash botalto to Google, what day is it? That's what?
Oh God? Cash Btel has been chosen to lead the FBI.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
We know that that means that, well, Christopher Ray is
out of a job, at least according to Ted Cruz.

Speaker 7 (10:09):
No secret to anybody, including Chris Ray, that he is
not going to continue to serve as the head of
the FBI under Donald Trump. Listen, if you look at
James Comy and Chris Ray, there has never been a
period in our nation's history where the FBI has suffered
a greater loss of respect.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Putting Cash Bettel in charge of the FBI would mean
just what Ted Cruz said, that Christopher Ray is out,
either he retires, resigns, or is fired. Any FBI director
does have to be confirmed by the Senate. And this
is another one of those problematic nominations that Trump is
going to have to deal with. He's gonna have to

(10:49):
be able to convince some of the more moderate Republicans
in the Senate. Lisa Murkowski is an example. Susan Collins
of Maine another example. He's only got a three in
the next Senate. He's only got three Republican majority, which
means that these more controversial picks, this is one of them,

(11:10):
could see a problem being confirmed. As of late last week,
Cash Battel was not necessarily considered the top guy for
the FBI job, although there were times when Trump had
suggested he was going to appoint cash Battel as the
deputy director of the FBI, and if you remember, at

(11:32):
the very end of his first term, President Trump said
that Cash Pattel should be the deputy director of the FBI.
William Barr, the Attorney general at the time, said, over
my dead body. So some people have said that whether
it's Cash Battel or Missouri's Attorney General Andrew Bailey, nobody

(11:55):
was happy with either one of those I shouldn't say nobody.
Some people were not happy with either one of those picks.
A third unknown candidate would likely have come out in
the next week or two if Trump hadn't made a decision.
But they said that cash Battel is not considered a
consensus choice for the job. It was always going to
come down to what Trump wanted and potentially the last
person that he spoke to on a given day.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's like a couch whose cushion has the impression of
the last butt that was on top of it. But
Cash Betel is one of these guys who says he's
going after the deep State. He wrote a book last
year called Government Gangsters, the Deep State, The Truth and
the Battle for Our Democracy lays out his case against
what he refers to as the deep State. Said for

(12:41):
he wants a comprehensive house cleaning. He had suggested. Also,
Cash Betel did that he was going to shut down
the j. Edgar Hoover Building, the FBI headquarters on the
first day and reopen it as a museum to the
deep State. Now, all of that hyperbolic language should be
a reminder that this is the way Trump works. This

(13:03):
is the way Cash Bettel thinks Trump wants him to work,
which is lash out hyperbolically. And then when you don't
actually do that, you could say, well, I just meant,
you know what I meant.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Our first indicator that the FBI was going to be
blown up was Trump's ignoring of the picking up the
phone to call the FBI to do background checks on
his appointees.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Yeah, completely got rid.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Of that, which again it's not a requirement, but it
is an understanding that that's how you do things and
why he doesn't want to do it now outside of the,
like you said, the distrust that he's been exhibiting towards
the FBI.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Dan Meyer is a veteran national security lawyer. Instead of
Trump's sidestepping of the FBI, I have clients who go
before the Senate confirmation process, and it will change the
way I advise and analyze them that, rather than focused
on the generalized standards a guide official background checks, getting
a client confirmed will involve strategizing about the specific tastes

(14:10):
of the senators making the choice.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Yeah, ugh, dirty dirty.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
Isn't that more dirty than having what should be an
independent group in this case, the FBI doing the background check.
You're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna grease the skids with
all of these senators on these different committees and then
the Senate in general, a couple other names. President elect
Trump announced that he intends to nominate Massad bulos Uh

(14:37):
to serve as senior advisor on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
Bulos's son Michael, is married to Tiffany Trump and has
been for a couple of years. Trump announced the pick
for the advisory position in a post that was shared
on X and then the other one is the more controversial,
but for you know, reasons that are one hundred and

(14:59):
eighty degrees opposite what others are. He chose as a
labor secretary Congresswoman Lori Chavez Dereimer out of Oregon, who
in her own she lost her reelection bid in November
for the fifth congressional district, only one of three Republicans
in Congress who backed the pro Act, pretty wide ranging

(15:22):
pro labor law that would reign in the gig economy
and boost workers organizing rights. Also one of just eight
Republicans to co sponsor a similar bill of Strength in
Public Sector Unions. A very based on what we know
about her voting record, a very pro union Republican, which
is concerning to some of the Republicans who have been

(15:44):
sitting on the Senate. But again not for the same
reasons that they don't like a Pete Hegseth or even
a cash Bettel.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Okay, do you want your Jeopardy question, do I yes,
I just have to find it. He's a gone over there.
Oh I found it? Okay, ready, yeah, Donkeys for two
hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
A little Donkey is one of the many tales collected
by these brothers in the early eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
I'm waiting for the music to end.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Just think of the brothers that do the tail. Yeah,
those dark children's stories. But kids in the black death?

Speaker 3 (16:35):
What happened to the little donkeys? I'm not familiar with that.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
I'd have no idea what the little donkeys? I guess
what you to find out?

Speaker 3 (17:03):
It, do all that sort of stuff, googling for old people.
I'm doing that right now. The little donkey.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Okay, yeah, Heyrettaretta.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Hey, Google showed me photos of me and Loretta. Oh god,
remember this commercial? Yes, awful. Remember Loretta hated my mustache
too bad? Dasyum side.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Now you live in the screen, Loretta.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
Now the only way I can talk to you is
through the Google.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
I should have googled it. I should have opened my computer. Stupid,
we're not doing it. I should have googled it.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
The Wall Street Journal says if Google were a ship,
it would be the Titanic in the hours before it
struck that iceberg. The trends moving against Google so numerous
and interrelated that the Justice Department's attempt is dismantle Google
could be the least of its problems. People are increasingly

(18:18):
getting answers from artificial intelligence.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
I do not like those. Well, it comes up first
on the Google, I know, and I intentionally avoid it. Yeah,
I did, But now I've I've succumbed to the AI.
You're the one.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Have I introduced you to my new friend? She lives
in my phone, Sandra, my bot. I'm kidding. You think
I'm serious? I have real friends.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Uh huh. Sometimes they don't call me back.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
Right, But Sandra's always there, always there, Sandra. I don't
know where I came up with that name. It is
a good name. When people want to search for information
or go shopping on the internet. They are shifting to
Google's competitors.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Who's a competitor? Is it TikTok a competitor to Google?
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Bing Safari?

Speaker 7 (19:13):
No?

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Is bing for young people? I don't listen.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
You have so far aged out of deciding what's for
what's for old people?

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Microsoft? So you use Microsoft? Jacob No, I'm just saying
that's a problem the competitors. This is how far away
from computers we've gotten. I was like the fact that
they are in our face all day every day. I'm glad,
I'm on my way.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
You look something up on your phone, where do you
type it in? You open up your Google Chrome and
do it that way?

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Well, let me see what is this? This is a Safari?
Do you use Safari a lot? Okay? I guess that's
what that? How do I find out what it is?
It looks like this, that's what it looks like. The
compass that's Safari. Okay.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, Google looks like a G. Looks like that right there,
it's just a G.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Oh, I don't have that. We're proving the point. Safari's
default engine is like search engine? Is Google? Okay? So
I do use the Google How do I change that
in your settings? Okay? Talking about something. She doesn't know
what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I know where settings are, so then I go to
oh search, No, that's not it. We can tell the
story or we can show the story.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
Yay.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Org Klukerman is the head of marketing at the giant Finastra.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
It's a European company, worries about Google's search algorithms declining more.
Once more people are relying on AI to answer questions
as much as early adopters like him are trafficked to.
Websites are going to dry up, And he says, then
what do you do with your search engine marketing team?
What does that mean for all the websites we have
out there?

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Fanastra sounds like it could be in space wars.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Google reported strong revenue growth last quarter. The rate at
which people clicked on ads that appear in search results
was down eight percent compared to year ago. Not clear why,
but one will logical conclusion is that there's a result
of Google's own AI based summaries, which eliminate the need
to click on sponsored links or scroll down to where
the ads are.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
I think Finaster will be Biractar's love interest or should
it be Biractar's mom?

Speaker 3 (21:35):
No? Or both? Hello, No, don't make it weird. No no, no, yep,
not in my movie.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
One study from January by search engine optimization software company
called Authoritas found that Google's AI answers in their search
results could up end rankings and traffic to existing websites.
Interesting because people like you don't.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Go farther down. You just like you.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
You just assume that the Google knows what you're talking about.
You people, that's yeah racist. Should have googled it. Should
have googled it.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
It's just the AI makes it so concise and clear.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
It doesn't though, because sometimes it completely screws up, Like
when uh, like when I was asking it, how do
I remove the tip off of a ear phone plug
from the headphone jack?

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah? Did it say? Don't be a dumb ass? It
gets it stuck in there?

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Take the handlebars off? What are you talking about? I see,
I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
I should have googled it. I should. Don't give up
on your old people. Don't give up on your old people.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
We've got some stories of misbehavior in the not so
friendly skies.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
Like Nero the off rather get off my plane, Rodger Rogers,
what's our victor?

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Victor I have had put there's Mufty planting schnikes on
this money. It's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies
on KFI.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
There was United Airlines flight that landed in Los Angeles
and it came with some disturbing footage. Apparently this high
end wedding photographer and his family were subjected to the
hateful wrath of a fellow traveler hurling sickening insults at them.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
This is an Indian American family.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
They had just flown into LA from Cancun with his wife,
this guy and his three sons when they were confronted
by another flyer who had been on the same flight
on a transfer bus.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, so the video play the audio for you here
in a second. The video was taken on that bus,
and the dad says he first interacted with this woman
during the flight. He went back to check on his
eleven year old, who was seated a few rows ahead
of the rest of the family, and as he checked
on his son, this woman, who was sitting in the

(24:02):
same role, was annoyed as she tried to brush past
him asking if she could get to her seat, and
dad said, oh, yeah, sorry, and I moved to the
side and she got to her seat and that was it,
he said. He learned only after the plane landed that
the woman asked her son if he was Indian, where
he was from in India, and threatened that she was

(24:24):
going to go talk to his parents, and then they
get on the bus in between the terminals.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
She has no respect, You.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Have no rolls.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
He think you push everyone push, push push, So you
think you are Hey, guys are taking crazy.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
Hey, people are crazy.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
You sold me to have some more curry? Right, Oh,
have some more curry.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
Curry's delicious, please do?

Speaker 7 (24:57):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (24:57):
She did?

Speaker 1 (24:58):
She have a bad experience eating Indian Dude, Listen, it's
happened to everybody.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
It's really delicious.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Sometimes you overdo it and you're not used to those
spices all the time.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
I think maybe this is what happened.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
And she went and that's why she remembers the menu
items so well, like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Once you have some more curry, wh't you have some
more tandory chicken?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Because she knows where she went wrong over stuffing herself
in that restaurant.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
She called it out specifically right.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yeah, she is also lamb vindaloo visibly intoxicated.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Oh she was, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Mean she looks like a normal uh go on. I
haven't looked at the video. She's also coming home from cankun.
She's still got some residual liquor in her.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Who leaves cankuon in a bad mood? I don't know.
And that's why.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
That's why I didn't understand this woman. There's another one.
A Jet two flight forced to turn around after a
drunken passenger named Lewis Holarth staggered around the aisle and
called the stewardesses ad for telling him to fasten his
seat belt. Never understand why people think behavior is appropriate.

(26:07):
It can never be justified. According to one of the
arresting officers. This incident occurred on a flight late August
that was slated to fly from Manchester to Dloman, Turkey,
but had been delayed for an hour and a half.
Needless to say, our friend Lewis had been drinking heavily
in the departure lounge prior to boarding, and his inebriated

(26:28):
states had off alarm bells among the crew members when
they noticed that his seat belt wasn't fastened. One steward
has told him to do so, but he failed to
secure the buckle.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
He was slurring his words, and he was.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Swearing, he had dilated pupils, and his coordination was very pure,
very poor, and he was unable to actually fasten the
seat belt. He got out of his seat, called her
a d head oh, and was asked to sit down
and told that he could be removed, noting that the
plane was already making its way from the runway to

(26:59):
the gate. At this point, passenger got up, stood up
right in her face, at which point the captain decided
to return to the gate and have Lewis removed, and
when he was taken off, they applauded. As the guy
was walked down the aisle by the police, and then
as one of the officers tried to escort him off
the aircraft, he said, f you you pre well, what.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Does that mean? Pee?

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (27:24):
A pyword? Yes, my goodness, d head and pete yeah.
Southwest Airlines is making a change to reduce the risk
of inflight turbulence injuries. The airline is changing procedures. Rather
than preparing the cabin for landing at ten thousand feet,
flight attendants will start doing so at an altitude of

(27:44):
eighteen thousand feet.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Do you know what this is?

Speaker 1 (27:46):
This is not about inflight turbulence injuries. This is about
reducing the service to cut costs for Southwest. And they
give you all those free drinks and snacks.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Okay, listen, high flyer. They don't give everybody drinks. They
do a lot. Yeah, when you fly them all the
time and you get your little free drink vouchers.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
No, I mean, yeah, there's that. But sometimes they'll just
do free drinks on Southwest. They'll just say, like today
we're not well. It must be nice to be a
woman and blonde.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
I wouldn't know what it's like to be blonde. You're right,
I do. I guess I do identify as blonde.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
I think they do it three times a year, if
I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
It's in there.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
If they do it like on Southwest Airlines Birthday, they
do it on maybe Valentine's Day something like that.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
But they don't do it just randomly, do they. I've
never seen it happen to me.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
I've never received a free alcoholic drink on Southwest. Well,
you fix your face.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
Excuse me. I'm very polite I chat with flight attendants. Listen,
d head, you don't tell me how to behave aircraft? Yep, pee,
don't forget.
