Speaker 1 (00:04):
Lou Penrose on News Radio six hundred co Go. We
are live in San Diego. Thank you for tuning in.
Good to have you along with us. Happy Tuesday. It
is the busiest travel day of the Thanksgiving season.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Today is the big one. Today is the big one.
You heard that. They're with Cliff Albert.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Eighteen million people will be screened by TSA between today
and next Tuesday, fifty two thousand flights.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Everybody's going everywhere, and so far, so good.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
All the air traffic controllers are back to work where
pre government shutdown levels. People are getting through easily. No
real weather patterns affecting flights, at least here in the Southwest.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And it's gonna be a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy use the opportunity of this
the busiest Thanksgiving travel season in a long time. I've
heard all kinds of numbers. Busiest one in five years,
busiest one in seventeen years. Suffice to say, it's very
busy out there. And he said, look, this would be
a good time to do a national reset. We are
(01:13):
good people, we're kind people, we're courteous people. There's no
reason to have fights at the airport. There's no reason
to go off on the ticket agents or on the
flight attendants or each other. Let's all just take it
down a notch. And yeah, civility is the order of
the day.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Civility.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Some of you might have noticed that we've launched a
civility campaign, and I think it's important.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
As we travel that we think.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
About not just ourselves, not just our families, but we
think about those who are around us, and we call
our better angels.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I like that idea. I think leadership by word is
a thing. And he's not telling you what to do.
He's asking you to be an American, like all the
graciousness that you will show the host once you land,
employ that on the journey.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I think it's nice. I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think it's appropriate for the Secretary of Transportation to
go out there and tell you, look, we got problems,
we got flight delays, we got software outages, we have
air traffic controller problems.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
That he's obligated to do that.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But when everything is right, and the planes are in
the sky and the air traffic controllers are getting paid
and everything is fine, then he should go to you.
The American passenger and say civility. Remember civility. Keep that
in mind.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
In a busy time.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
And again, the airport's gonna be packed tsa lines maybe
a little longer, and as you're you might not be
able to find a seat as you're buy your gate
because of the number of flights that are going out
or coming in.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, that's always tough.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There aren't enough seats at airports and you got to
sit on the floor. It's not so bad for me
because I stand at the bar, But when I had kids, boy,
I'll tell you what, that's a challenge.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like my wife and I we would literally take a picnic.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Blanket like and just make a camp because you got
a few minutes and there's nothing for kids to do
at an airport.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
They pulled away.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
The airports used to have little playlands, like shopping malls
had playlands. There was, and there's a couple of airports
that still well they did when we were kidd but
I remember like hearing about that and looking up certain
airports to find out where in the airport the little
playland was if you had a two hour stretch when
(03:37):
you have little kids, because what are you gonna do
at the airport, and I think during COVID they pulled
the mall out or maybe some kid fell, who knows,
but there's nothing for kids to do. So I feel
for travelers with toddlers, but for us, we would literally
make a little camp and break out snacks. My wife
was excellent at this, and uh, that's what we used
(03:58):
to do. But yeah, there's not enough chairs, so that's
a boo.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
But what he's.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Saying is what would you do in your own house
if there weren't enough chairs and there were older people standing,
you would say, ma'am please, by all means, have a seat.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
We have to think about how do we do a
better job, how do we, you know, maintain maybe some
of that frustration we have as we travel this Thanksgiving season,
maybe we should say please and thank you to our
pilots and to our to our flight attendants.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Love it. I love it Cabinet member reminding taxpayers to
say please and thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I think this is great.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Here's where it all went south, where he said and
maybe just maybe you don't want to dress like a slob, just.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Maybe dressing with some respect, whether it's a pair of
jeans and a decent shirt. I would encourage people to
maybe dress a little better, which encourage us, encourages us
to maybe behave all a little better.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh boy, that's where it all fell apart, right, the
better angels of our nature, be courteous, remember your pleases,
and thank you that god by. But when a Trump
administration cabinet member, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, said,
and maybe you might want to dress up a little bit,
social media went nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Here's one.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I'd encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which
encourages us to maybe behave a little better.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's what Duffy said.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Duffy smug passive, aggressive delivery on his message on dressing
courtesy while traveling by air is nauseating. Another post lane.
Duffy has to focus on safety first, not fashion. Here's
another one, Hey, Sean, he paid for that ticket, and
I will damn well wear what I'm comfortable in and
(05:43):
you can f off.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
There's another one.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Duffy is absolutely right, but our declining travel dress is
a reflection of how airlines treat us cattle borning, boarding,
tiny seats, penny pinching on every beverage just makes it miserable.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Dress better in return for flying better than I'll consider it.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Here's another one until they give us a bona fide
report stats on planes and in flight safety.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Please everyone wear pajamas to the airport.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And it goes on and on. I mean, people really
just jumped all over his head. He was very specific
about what he is seeing out there.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Let's try not to wear slippers in pajamas as we
come to the airport. I think that's positive.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh boy, look, I agree with him. You're in public
for crying out loud. My mother would not allow us
to go out of the house looking like bums.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And I remember the reason why.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I never really understood it, but I remember my mother
always saying it made the family look bad.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It reflect poorly on the family.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And I remember, like, you know, when you're eight years
old and you're outside with like a ripped shirt because
it's comfortable, because you don't care you're eight years old.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You always be like, take off that shirt. You're not
wearing that out you want you want to want to
reflect poorly on the family or whatever. She's had it
in Italian.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
It kind of translates to that, right, it's just a
bad reflection on the family, is the way it translates,
And I remember thinking, who is keeping score? Is there
somebody out there that's going around the kickball game in
the cul de sac and saying, you know that kid,
his pants are all torn.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
He must have a terrible family. But that was the
way my mom thought about it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And now that I'm a grown up, I don't know
that it reflects poorly on the family.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
It reflects poorly on you.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
What's wrong with you leaving the house looking shah bu
dad as we would say in Italian, that means just
all disheveled, dUtu shanghad, all messed up, something wrong with you,
look like you would dragged by a truck. So there
is a way to be comfortable on a plane and
(07:58):
not being your pajamas. And again this doesn't go for children,
but I had seen more and more young people. As
I said, I see it all the time when I
just driving around in the morning after I drop off
the kids of school, if I've got to go into
a convenience store or get gas, and I see high
school kids on their way to high school still wearing
(08:20):
what they call lounge pants, I call pajamas. Here is
some of the travelers reacting to Duffy's concern that if
you dress like a slob, you'll act like a slob.
Maybe if you want to wear a nice pair of
jeans and a nice shirt, maybe you'll have more civility.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I feel like I'm on a lot of late night
and early morning flights too, and so I'm not trying
to be like business where.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
On a flight late night flights? Where is she going?
There's a college student. Nobody's not a lot of late
night flights, and people that are on late night flights
are coming from other time zones, Like that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So that's not an excuse.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
People being dressing more appropriately. I think whether that's comfy
or wearing a short top, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Think you can be comfy and appropriate. The problem, I guess,
isn't with dressing appropriately. The problem is other people's definitions
of appropriate. So when we get back, I'll play for
you some of the traveler reactions at various airports to
Super Secretary Sean Duffies.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, you heard it. I feel like I'm on a
lot of hold on here it is, let's.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Try not to wear slippers in pajamas as we come
to the airport. I think that's positive.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
All right, So slippers or slacks.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
The Secretary of Transportations etiquette suggestions is getting reaction. What
say you eight hundred and six hundred cogo eight hundred,
six hundred and five six four six, And if you're
listening live on the iHeartRadio app, you can hit us
up using the talkback Mike loop Enrose on news Radio
six hundred co go and live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Loop Enrose use Radio.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Six hundred co Go always live on the iHeartRadio app.
The Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said, pack your patients,
but also remember to be nice. Let's return to civility
with airline travel. We're doing everything weekend industry wise, but
as passengers would be great if you could do everything
you can to be nice, and while you're at it.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Just maybe dressing with some respect, whether it's a pair
of jeans and a decent shirt. I would encourage people
to maybe dress a little better, which encourage us, encourages
us to maybe behave all a little better.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
A social media when crazy with reaction positive and negative
to Treasury Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's concern that too many
people are wearing slippers to the airport.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Let's try not to wear slippers in pajamas as we
come to the airport. I think that's positive.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, that is positive.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Hey, Lou, I know you don't like traveling to the
Third World. And yes, most everything we do in America
is much better. But I will give people this Central America,
South America. They all dress appropriately when they fly. There's
no flip flops, there's no pajamas. Everyone dresses up like
we used to thirty or forty years ago. It's embarrassing
(11:12):
how Americans travel now.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I don't disagree that they ought to be embarrassed. First off,
I loathe the third World, and everything about America is better,
not almost everything everything.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Having said that, I don't know. I don't I.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Remember seeing a bunch of people from Sub Saharan Africa
in suits and ties on airplanes. I don't recall that.
I don't know what that means. I see people wearing
pretty much the same stuff. The only people that are
wearing jams are American college kids. I think Duffy was
(11:55):
making a point. I have not seen people wearing slippers.
I don't know why it is so hard hard to travel,
Like people really need a lesson every time I get
on a plane, I am always flummixed with how difficult
it is for people to disembark. I am an excellent disembarker.
I mean, as soon as you hear the ding ding
ding and the door, like, first off, don't even move
(12:18):
until you're at the jetway.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
What are you getting your stuff ready for?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You have plenty of time, Like, don't start standing and
being bothersome you're not.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The flight isn't over yet.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
The flight isn't over yet until the jetway attaches itself
to the airplane and the door is open, and people's rows,
you know, one ABC and one DEEF begin to get off,
Like that's when you stand up and start gathering your things.
I mean, you should have your crap together, but don't
start reaching for the overhead bins.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And then it is. It's amazing, it's literally three three
three three three three, and then so on and so forth.
What is so hard about this?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Every time I get off I'm ready to get off
a plane, I look ahead of me and there's people
just lost.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
They don't know where they put there is it back?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
There?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is it up there?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No one ever moved your overhead It's where you left it.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You had one job, remember where it was.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Plus all the overheads are open now and everybody ahead
of you is gone.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
How can you not find your overhead? And it's almost.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
As if they cannot figure out which way is forward,
and it's it's it's a every time, was like, what
what is so hard about getting off a plane? You
stand up, you move forward, you put the suitcase in
front of you so it doesn't bang on the arm
rests of the other empty seats, and you walk straight.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Then it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And you know that little circle area when you get
off the plane, but into the JetWave, but like you
know where they have the wheelchairs and all the other
stuff before you get in the tunnel. That is not
a waiting room, that's not a green room, that's not
a reception area.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Keep walking. So I do think there's a lot of.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
People that need lessons on how to disembark. But no,
I think for the most part, what he's getting at
is the clothes you wear, dictate the attitude you have.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
That's a great idea to get candy to the crew
as you've board the plane. I'm going to start doing that.
But I just want to mention that if you could
plan ahead and buy the seas candy at a local
seas candy stores at it at the airport, it'll cost
half as much.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Thanks for the great idea.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I usually don't have time on the way to the
airport to stop off at the local seas candy shop.
Plus it's four in the morning. Maybe the uber driver
should stock it.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I think as long as it's relatively appropriate, I don't
think there's a problem with people wearing pajamas to the
airport or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
See, and that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
If you leave interpretation of appropriate up to too many Americans,
they'll say, you know, as long as they're good pajamas,
I don't see any problem with it.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I think everyone has the right to choose what they
want to wear, so I don't see the need to
enforce rules on flying. I mean, what, what would be
the reason for that?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, this guy's an idiot, Like people can't even understand
the news. He didn't say I'm going to make a
law that says you have to wear a suit and
tie on an airplane. He said you should consider wearing
something a little more public, and maybe that will have
(15:32):
a change on your like, and it's so funny. This
guy is in a suit and tie on his way
to work. He's like, I don't think there should be
any connection between.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
What you wear and your attitude.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I think everyone has the right to choose what they
want to wear. So I don't see the need to
enforce rules on flying. I mean, what what would be
the reason for that?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's right, No, Dad, ask your boss why you have
to wear a suit and tie to work, sir. Eight
hundred six hundred cogo eight hundred six hundred five six
four six And if you let's thing live, you can
join us on the iHeartRadio app. Yet thanks again. That
was from the last hour. But the reference to the
seas candy was that's just one of my hacks. I
got a bunch of hacks, but that one is fool proof.
(16:15):
If you if you are so inclined and you have
the time while you're at the airport, duck into a
seas candy and get a small box and as you
walk in, hand it to the flight attendant, the one
that's right there when you walk in, and just say
this is for you, and the crew just distribute it
as you like. However, you're now in charge, and don't
wait for thank you, don't get into a conversation because
(16:36):
that also violates one of.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
My rules, don't talk while you're online. Just they'll trust me.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
When they want to express their thank you, they'll come
find you, maybe with a drink ticket or an upgrade.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But that's not why I do it. It just it's
just a good thing to do.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I mean, it's gonna set you back all of like
eight bucks or thirteen bucks or whatever, and it's a
it's just a good thing.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It's a little tool. And again that's not mine.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I got to give credit to Shannon Balliot in Los
Angeles at KFI. She turned me onto that trick. But
there's a couple of travel hacks. Maybe we should do
a travel hack.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Hour one of these days.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
There's a couple of things that you can do that
really make your experience really good and also make your
host's experience really good. And I think Sean Duffy's onto something.
He's like, take the energy that you're going to have
once you land, when you see your family, and start
your vacation with that energy.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I think he's onto something there. I'm with him.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
The civility some of you might have noticed that we've
launched a civility campaign, and I think it's important as
we travel that we think about not just ourselves, not
just our families, but we think about those who are
around us, and we call our better angels.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I love it. Good for you, Sean preach on all right.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
When we come back, we got a liberal white woman
update yet again, another person through something at an ice agent.
Call it the sandwich guy two point zero. That's all
coming up next. Louke Penrose on news Radio six hundred
co going live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Louke Penrose on.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
News Radio six hundred co go always live on the
iHeartRadio app. I'm with you, Phil Ferrar, Thanksgiving dinner outside
on the patio.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Where else in America can you pull that off?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
This is absolutely America's finest city, and that's America's finest weather.
It can be eighty degrees in Palm Springs. Like my
sons are already in the pool at Grandma's house. They're
out there because they're off all week. I still can't
figure this out. Who when did Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
become holiday?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
But our school's closed all week.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But good for them, as we travel on Thanksgiving. So
talking about the Transportation Secretary Sean duff be his ask
that you increase your civility.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We all increase our stability.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Everybody on the industry side, on the airline side, and
on the passenger side.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Let's just step it up.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And be the best Americans we can be as we
get through the process.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It's not that hard. Everything's working.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
So the air traffic controllers are all set, the airlines
are all set, the software is all set.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
The Department of Transportation had a.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Huge budget infusion in the One Big Beautiful Bill, so
we're not going to have all these software problems that
we had under the Biden administration. I think the former
Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buddha Judge did nothing as Secretary
of Transportation. And Duffy's like, look, we're stepping it up
on our part. Let's let's have you step it up.
(19:46):
And also maybe you can step up how you how
what you wear to the airport.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Just maybe dressing with some respect, whether it's pair jeens
and and a decent shirt. I would encourage people to
maybe dress a little better, which encourage us, encourages us
to maybe behave all a little better.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, and as you can imagine, lots of blowback on
social media, positive and negative, and we're getting your reaction.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I've seen even at the mall they wear in pajamas,
you know, and it's really not nice, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, No, I agree with you. I don't like to
see people in their pajamas either. Children wear pajamas, but
even children can wear comfortable clothes. They don't have to
be out like ragamuffins. I mean, like, you know, if
they're toddlers, then you want them to sleep on the plane.
But yeah, Duffy's saying, don't go out and buy yourself
a brand new suit, but.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Don't look like a slob.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Hey, Lou.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I'd have to say I'm probably on the older side
of your listening audience, but I have to agree with
Sean Deffy. I hate seeing people out in public anywhere
in their pajamas, no less on a flight. And even
my children, who are in their thirties early thirties, still
did not appreciate seeing their peers at the grocery store
(20:58):
in pajamas. So I'm sure that feel the same way
about seeing the model flight.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, I appreciate the call. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I think what we're calling pajamas, they call lounge where.
That's like a new fangled thing. I mean, it's not
brand new, but I didn't have it when I was
a kid. There is no lounge where. Like I guess
when you come home, you can put on sweats, but
that really is gym where.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And even like in.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
The hit nineties television series Seinfeld, when George did start
wearing sweatpants in public, he was admonished by Jerry. Right,
didn't Jerry say, what's with the sweatpants? You're telling the
world you just have given up altogether. So it's true,
like it's not just us being picky. Wearing sweats in
(21:51):
public unless you're coming back from the gym is no bueno. Now,
we live in southern California, and women, certainly in southern
California and San die specifically, you got it made because
you can get away with wearing yoga pants everywhere because
A you all look good in them, and B you
can pretend that you're just going to or on your
(22:13):
way back from the gym. Now that not so much
at the airport, right, no one's gonna think you're on
your way to a yoga class. But I see people,
you know, Trader Joe's and Sprouts, and you know, they're
all just looking like they're just coming back from the gym.
And maybe they are just coming back from the gym,
but I don't know that whether you are or you aren't,
it does look fairly appropriate in public, and that's comfortable.
(22:38):
By the way, what is the older side of my
listening audience? What was that all about, mister finnerdykylu.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
I'd have to say I'm probably on the older side
of your listening audience.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
What age would that be? I don't want to say
because I don't want to find the level.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
She sounds younger to me, but I'm guessing maybe sixty something.
I mean, I am broadcasting and attracting an audience to
everyone that has a radio. Like they tell us, you know, hey,
you have a core demographic, and I reject that. I
am broadcasting to every single person with a radio. I'm
trying to attract. Well, it's put it this way, I'm
(23:12):
trying to attract every single person with a radio. I
get it that most fourteen year olds are not listening
to lou Penrose on COG. They're listening to, you know,
Channel ninety three to three with the Gina Little Latina.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
But if I was fourteen years old in San Diego,
I'd be listening to Lou Penrose on co Go. So
there is somebody out there that's fourteen listening to us.
So yeah, So if you're on the higher end of
our listening audience, that would be anybody over the age
of fifty, because I go from zero to one hundred.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Hey, Lou, if you're six foot three stuck in one
of these chairs on Southwest Airlines and a suit and tie,
are you kidding me? You know how uncomfortable that's going
to be. Of course, I'm going to be wearing shorts
and flip.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Flops, and I have never been uncomfortable on an airplane.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So this is where I get my revenge.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, you six foot three people, you get the better jobs,
you get the better wives, right, I mean, everybody looks
up to There is a natural tendency to hold tall
people in higher regard.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
The studies have been done. I don't even want to
debate it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Tall people just they get better stuff, no question in
my mind, because I'm not one of them.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
But I'm here to tell you where we get even
is on that plane.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Because I a coach, I have so much leg room
that I could throw a party back there.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I mean I have like I got my backpack. I
can open up my backpack.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And lay out my laptop or get out whatever device
I'm using. I mean I can sort in my seat
with the space in front of me. That's how much
leg groom I have in coach on Southwest. I mean,
I am so comfortable in coach, and frankly, first class
is away. I got too much room in first class.
(25:08):
I feel like I need to decorate. You need to
bring bring an end table with me or something as
so much Truman Press says, no, no need for me to
be in first class. Now when we travel, my wife
and I travel on vacation when it's just her and I,
which we do just you know, to be have special
time for just us, we will fly first class. But
if it's just me, I'm not why coach works, no
(25:30):
problem at all.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So that is the short man's revenge. But I appreciate
the call.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Eight hundred six hundred cogo eight hundred six hundred five

So the liberal woman update, here's ICE agents. They were
guarding a raid that was being conducted by other ICE agents,
so they were standing guard as the ICE was wrastling
(25:57):
with the illegal alien and throwing.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Them in the back of the eye.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
They always wrestle with the ICE agents because the illegals
know they're illegal.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
They're not looking for a warrant.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
They don't want to be red rights, they don't know
due process. They know they're illegal. Only the liberal women
defending them think that there's a chance they might actually
belong here. So since the illegals know they're illegal, know
that once that van door closes, they are never coming
back to the United States, their instinct is to try
(26:29):
and run away. So of course they're wrestling. So that's
why you got to send out these ICE raids. Impacts
the three or four ICE guys. So the ICE guy
is standing guard and the liberal woman is shouting on him,
and then she dumps a mountain dew on top of
his head.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
She goes behind him and she dumps her mountain dew
on top of his head. Here the crowd go, oh,
she got him, Boy, did she get him?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
He's got mountain dew all over him. Look at him.
She soaked him. Yeah, and that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Then the cop turns around, tackles her to the ground,
puts her in handcuffs because you know, you're not allowed
to do that. That would be battery of an officer. No,
you can hear her screaming there and cursing. You can't
(27:36):
touch you can't f and touch me. Well we can,
we can cuff you. And now guess what your friend
is going back home. He's being deported and you. Emily
Ramos is her name, eighteen years old. She's going to
jail and being charged with assault of an officer. Democrats
do not have a political problem. Democrats have a maturity problem.
(28:00):
Lou Penrose on News Radio six hundred co Go and
live on the iHeartRadio app. Kyrie Lawson followed the program
weeknights at six Lou Penrose on News Radio six hundred
Cogo always live on the iHeartRadio app talking about the
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his call to action to
(28:24):
step things up a little bit as you travel this
holiday season and pretty much here to four, Lou.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I have to differ with you. I don't like to,
but I have to. Not everyone looks good in yoga pants.
They know who they are.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Not in San Diego, Oh contrere, monfrere. Maybe you're out
in Hemmett loungeworth thing.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
You know what lounge were is That's what Hugh Hefner
used to wear at the Playboy mansion after a tough
day of doing nothing.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I don't think Hugh Hefner wore the silk pajamas and
that red thing on airplanes. Now I got a look
why I saw. You know, there was a mini series
on Heffner. My wife and I were riveted by it.
I mean, the whole story of Hugh Hefner, long before
the silk pajamas, like how he came to be the
(29:14):
editor of Playboy magazine. Pretty impressive, very amazing. But yeah,
he was like in suits then that was like an
image thing. I you know what, when you are able
to have three girlfriends like Holly and now I can't
remember the one from San Diego, can you like Bridget
(29:35):
and Holly and my favorite one from San Diego, and
you travel with them, you can wear lounge wear on
the airplane.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
I wouldn't wear pajamas on an airplane. Both, let me
wear my sweatpants, shirt and T shirt?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
SA Is that not? Is that not professional enough for
an airplane?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
No, you cannot wear a sweatpants and a T shirt
on an airplane. That's I think that's what Sean Duffy's
trying to get you not to do. You know where
you should wear sweatpants and a T shirt outside putting
up your Christmas lights? Like, I don't even think you
should go to home depot. First off, your sweatpants don't
have pockets, So where are you going to put your
passport or your boarding paths?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
No, my sweatpants have pockets.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Well, so you have the lazy man's sweatpants. What are
you putting in the pockets of your sweatpants?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Secret stuff?
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Right, lock and keys to keep the pick pockets from
taking them at the home depot.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I think Duffy has set the minimum standard for a
pair of jeans and a nice shirt. So no, the
sweatpants and the T shirt does not qualify.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
It's most people travel like they just crawled out of
their clothes hamper and nothing's been making it to the
laundry for a long time.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Right, you know what has happened when you're six years old.
But now we're grown ass men. This has looked like men.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
After nine to eleven, that's when everything changed, because the
airlines were like, sit down, we're in a war on terror.
You don't get any stuff, and they cut out a
lot of bennies. And I remember Erican airlines for people
lucky enough to fly in business or first which you know,
they did things like let's take the olives out of
the salads. You know, they started to go, I'll save us,
you know, forty grand a months or whatever. And it
(31:12):
just became flying cattle car in many ways, which is
why I like Southwest because they made it fun to
fly the cattle car. But everything changed after nine to eleven,
and understandably know much of it, but then it just
stayed their ways. People started, you know, traveling like slobs.
There's a vintage ship vintage airliners thing that I follow
(31:33):
on Facebook. He just look it up and they put
stuff like just forty years ago, people are flying their
dressing up, flying all over this cross country.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
It looks like a whole different world. Oh man.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
The first time I flew in an airplane, I flew
internationally on pan Am.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Remember that airline.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, I flew to you know, from jab to Rome,
and yeah, my parents had us in suits. My dad
wore a suit and they served dinner off a dinner
card and we were in coach, I mean whatever coach
was used to.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, fancy stuff and coach too.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
And then they said, you know, we can get more
seats in here, so let's make the seats you know,
nine inches wide, and we'll watch people shovel themselves into it.
And then they filled up the you know, up the
nose of the seven forty seven, so you just have
these fancy lounges and buffets. And then said, it's cram
some more seats in there. So it's not the fault
of all. It's not only the tourist fault, the traveler's faulty.
(32:26):
They adapted because they're would I think it'd be better
just to ship myself fed X sometimes.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But wouldn't stand to reason, I follow you, and obviously
business would go in that direction. Wouldn't stand the reason
that one of these airlines would be the you know,
the rich Carlton of airlines that would bring back that
space and quality of food.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Well, some are you know, they're trying to do that
and no Delta. Some of the others are trying to
upgrade in their international service, but you pay a premium
for it. Sure, the Eastern airlines are great because all
the potentates and impotentates compete with each other to have
look out fancy my air is you can fly coaching.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
It is bad, but I mean not even just for
first class or for business class, just the airline itself
just a little more luxurious, a little bit more spacey,
and you know, just service like you'd expect back in
the day.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Yeah, there are some airlines, these special airlines that start
and then it's a tough sell, right.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Because at the end of the day, you just want
to get there and I can buy my own pretzels.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
But I'm glad we solved that problem.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Coming up on Conway and Larson, the Seditious Six say
that fast being investigated by the Department of War, and
one of them more outspoken former vets is Buzz Patterson,
who's an Air Force Lieutenant Turner retired, used to be
military aid to President Clinton.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
He carried the nuclear.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Football and he's not happy, especially with mister Kelly with
the Senator. So we're to have him on with US
coming up next hour, and much more ahead on Conway
and Larson on KOGO.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
That's all coming up next day with US Conway, Larsa
take it from here on News Radio six hundred Cogo
and live on the iHeartRadio app
Lou Penrose on News Radio six hundred co Go. We
are live in San Diego. Thank you for tuning in.
Good to have you along with us. Happy Tuesday. It
is the busiest travel day of the Thanksgiving season.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Today is the big one. Today is the big one.
You heard that. They're with Cliff Albert.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Eighteen million people will be screened by TSA between today
and next Tuesday, fifty two thousand flights.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Everybody's going everywhere, and so far, so good.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
All the air traffic controllers are back to work where
pre government shutdown levels. People are getting through easily. No
real weather patterns affecting flights, at least here in the Southwest.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And it's gonna be a great Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy use the opportunity of this
the busiest Thanksgiving travel season in a long time. I've
heard all kinds of numbers. Busiest one in five years,
busiest one in seventeen years. Suffice to say, it's very
busy out there. And he said, look, this would be
a good time to do a national reset. We are
(01:13):
good people, we're kind people, we're courteous people. There's no
reason to have fights at the airport. There's no reason
to go off on the ticket agents or on the
flight attendants or each other. Let's all just take it
down a notch. And yeah, civility is the order of
the day.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Civility.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Some of you might have noticed that we've launched a
civility campaign, and I think it's important.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
As we travel that we think.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
About not just ourselves, not just our families, but we
think about those who are around us, and we call
our better angels.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I like that idea. I think leadership by word is
a thing. And he's not telling you what to do.
He's asking you to be an American, like all the
graciousness that you will show the host once you land,
employ that on the journey.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I think it's nice. I think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think it's appropriate for the Secretary of Transportation to
go out there and tell you, look, we got problems,
we got flight delays, we got software outages, we have
air traffic controller problems.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
That he's obligated to do that.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But when everything is right, and the planes are in
the sky and the air traffic controllers are getting paid
and everything is fine, then he should go to you.
The American passenger and say civility. Remember civility. Keep that
in mind.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
In a busy time.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
And again, the airport's gonna be packed tsa lines maybe
a little longer, and as you're you might not be
able to find a seat as you're buy your gate
because of the number of flights that are going out
or coming in.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, that's always tough.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
There aren't enough seats at airports and you got to
sit on the floor. It's not so bad for me
because I stand at the bar, But when I had kids, boy,
I'll tell you what, that's a challenge.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like my wife and I we would literally take a picnic.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Blanket like and just make a camp because you got
a few minutes and there's nothing for kids to do
at an airport.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
They pulled away.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
The airports used to have little playlands, like shopping malls
had playlands. There was, and there's a couple of airports
that still well they did when we were kidd but
I remember like hearing about that and looking up certain
airports to find out where in the airport the little
playland was if you had a two hour stretch when
(03:37):
you have little kids, because what are you gonna do
at the airport, and I think during COVID they pulled
the mall out or maybe some kid fell, who knows,
but there's nothing for kids to do. So I feel
for travelers with toddlers, but for us, we would literally
make a little camp and break out snacks. My wife
was excellent at this, and uh, that's what we used
(03:58):
to do. But yeah, there's not enough chairs, so that's
a boo.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
But what he's.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Saying is what would you do in your own house
if there weren't enough chairs and there were older people standing,
you would say, ma'am please, by all means, have a seat.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
We have to think about how do we do a
better job, how do we, you know, maintain maybe some
of that frustration we have as we travel this Thanksgiving season,
maybe we should say please and thank you to our
pilots and to our to our flight attendants.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Love it. I love it Cabinet member reminding taxpayers to
say please and thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I think this is great.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Here's where it all went south, where he said and
maybe just maybe you don't want to dress like a slob, just.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Maybe dressing with some respect, whether it's a pair of
jeans and a decent shirt. I would encourage people to
maybe dress a little better, which encourage us, encourages us
to maybe behave all a little better.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh boy, that's where it all fell apart, right, the
better angels of our nature, be courteous, remember your pleases,
and thank you that god by. But when a Trump
administration cabinet member, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, said,
and maybe you might want to dress up a little bit,
social media went nuts.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Here's one.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I'd encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which
encourages us to maybe behave a little better.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
That's what Duffy said.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Duffy smug passive, aggressive delivery on his message on dressing
courtesy while traveling by air is nauseating. Another post lane.
Duffy has to focus on safety first, not fashion. Here's
another one, Hey, Sean, he paid for that ticket, and
I will damn well wear what I'm comfortable in and
(05:43):
you can f off.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
There's another one.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Duffy is absolutely right, but our declining travel dress is
a reflection of how airlines treat us cattle borning, boarding,
tiny seats, penny pinching on every beverage just makes it miserable.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Dress better in return for flying better than I'll consider it.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Here's another one until they give us a bona fide
report stats on planes and in flight safety.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Please everyone wear pajamas to the airport.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And it goes on and on. I mean, people really
just jumped all over his head. He was very specific
about what he is seeing out there.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Let's try not to wear slippers in pajamas as we
come to the airport. I think that's positive.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh boy, look, I agree with him. You're in public
for crying out loud. My mother would not allow us
to go out of the house looking like bums.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
And I remember the reason why.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I never really understood it, but I remember my mother
always saying it made the family look bad.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It reflect poorly on the family.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
And I remember, like, you know, when you're eight years
old and you're outside with like a ripped shirt because
it's comfortable, because you don't care you're eight years old.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You always be like, take off that shirt. You're not
wearing that out you want you want to want to
reflect poorly on the family or whatever. She's had it
in Italian.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
It kind of translates to that, right, it's just a
bad reflection on the family, is the way it translates,
And I remember thinking, who is keeping score? Is there
somebody out there that's going around the kickball game in
the cul de sac and saying, you know that kid,
his pants are all torn.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
He must have a terrible family. But that was the
way my mom thought about it.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
And now that I'm a grown up, I don't know
that it reflects poorly on the family.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
It reflects poorly on you.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
What's wrong with you leaving the house looking shah bu
dad as we would say in Italian, that means just
all disheveled, dUtu shanghad, all messed up, something wrong with you,
look like you would dragged by a truck. So there
is a way to be comfortable on a plane and
(07:58):
not being your pajamas. And again this doesn't go for children,
but I had seen more and more young people. As
I said, I see it all the time when I
just driving around in the morning after I drop off
the kids of school, if I've got to go into
a convenience store or get gas, and I see high
school kids on their way to high school still wearing
(08:20):
what they call lounge pants, I call pajamas. Here is
some of the travelers reacting to Duffy's concern that if
you dress like a slob, you'll act like a slob.
Maybe if you want to wear a nice pair of
jeans and a nice shirt, maybe you'll have more civility.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
I feel like I'm on a lot of late night
and early morning flights too, and so I'm not trying
to be like business where.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
On a flight late night flights? Where is she going?
There's a college student. Nobody's not a lot of late
night flights, and people that are on late night flights
are coming from other time zones, Like that doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
So that's not an excuse.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
People being dressing more appropriately. I think whether that's comfy
or wearing a short top, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Think you can be comfy and appropriate. The problem, I guess,
isn't with dressing appropriately. The problem is other people's definitions
of appropriate. So when we get back, I'll play for
you some of the traveler reactions at various airports to
Super Secretary Sean Duffies.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, you heard it. I feel like I'm on a
lot of hold on here it is, let's.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Try not to wear slippers in pajamas as we come
to the airport. I think that's positive.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
All right, So slippers or slacks.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
The Secretary of Transportations etiquette suggestions is getting reaction. What
say you eight hundred and six hundred cogo eight hundred,
six hundred and five six four six, And if you're
listening live on the iHeartRadio app, you can hit us
up using the talkback Mike loop Enrose on news Radio
six hundred co go and live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Loop Enrose use Radio.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Six hundred co Go always live on the iHeartRadio app.
The Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said, pack your patients,
but also remember to be nice. Let's return to civility
with airline travel. We're doing everything weekend industry wise, but
as passengers would be great if you could do everything
you can to be nice, and while you're at it.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Just maybe dressing with some respect, whether it's a pair
of jeans and a decent shirt. I would encourage people
to maybe dress a little better, which encourage us, encourages
us to maybe behave all a little better.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
A social media when crazy with reaction positive and negative
to Treasury Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's concern that too many
people are wearing slippers to the airport.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Let's try not to wear slippers in pajamas as we
come to the airport. I think that's positive.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, that is positive.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Hey, Lou, I know you don't like traveling to the
Third World. And yes, most everything we do in America
is much better. But I will give people this Central America,
South America. They all dress appropriately when they fly. There's
no flip flops, there's no pajamas. Everyone dresses up like
we used to thirty or forty years ago. It's embarrassing
(11:12):
how Americans travel now.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I don't disagree that they ought to be embarrassed. First off,
I loathe the third World, and everything about America is better,
not almost everything everything.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Having said that, I don't know. I don't I.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Remember seeing a bunch of people from Sub Saharan Africa
in suits and ties on airplanes. I don't recall that.
I don't know what that means. I see people wearing
pretty much the same stuff. The only people that are
wearing jams are American college kids. I think Duffy was
(11:55):
making a point. I have not seen people wearing slippers.
I don't know why it is so hard hard to travel,
Like people really need a lesson every time I get
on a plane, I am always flummixed with how difficult
it is for people to disembark. I am an excellent disembarker.
I mean, as soon as you hear the ding ding
ding and the door, like, first off, don't even move
(12:18):
until you're at the jetway.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
What are you getting your stuff ready for?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You have plenty of time, Like, don't start standing and
being bothersome you're not.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The flight isn't over yet.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
The flight isn't over yet until the jetway attaches itself
to the airplane and the door is open, and people's rows,
you know, one ABC and one DEEF begin to get off,
Like that's when you stand up and start gathering your things.
I mean, you should have your crap together, but don't
start reaching for the overhead bins.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
And then it is. It's amazing, it's literally three three
three three three three, and then so on and so forth.
What is so hard about this?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Every time I get off I'm ready to get off
a plane, I look ahead of me and there's people
just lost.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
They don't know where they put there is it back?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
There?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is it up there?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
No one ever moved your overhead It's where you left it.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You had one job, remember where it was.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Plus all the overheads are open now and everybody ahead
of you is gone.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
How can you not find your overhead? And it's almost.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
As if they cannot figure out which way is forward,
and it's it's it's a every time, was like, what
what is so hard about getting off a plane? You
stand up, you move forward, you put the suitcase in
front of you so it doesn't bang on the arm
rests of the other empty seats, and you walk straight.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Then it's so funny.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And you know that little circle area when you get
off the plane, but into the JetWave, but like you
know where they have the wheelchairs and all the other
stuff before you get in the tunnel. That is not
a waiting room, that's not a green room, that's not
a reception area.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Keep walking. So I do think there's a lot of.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
People that need lessons on how to disembark. But no,
I think for the most part, what he's getting at
is the clothes you wear, dictate the attitude you have.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
That's a great idea to get candy to the crew
as you've board the plane. I'm going to start doing that.
But I just want to mention that if you could
plan ahead and buy the seas candy at a local
seas candy stores at it at the airport, it'll cost
half as much.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Thanks for the great idea.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I usually don't have time on the way to the
airport to stop off at the local seas candy shop.
Plus it's four in the morning. Maybe the uber driver
should stock it.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
I think as long as it's relatively appropriate, I don't
think there's a problem with people wearing pajamas to the
airport or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
See, and that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
If you leave interpretation of appropriate up to too many Americans,
they'll say, you know, as long as they're good pajamas,
I don't see any problem with it.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I think everyone has the right to choose what they
want to wear, so I don't see the need to
enforce rules on flying. I mean, what, what would be
the reason for that?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, this guy's an idiot, Like people can't even understand
the news. He didn't say I'm going to make a
law that says you have to wear a suit and
tie on an airplane. He said you should consider wearing
something a little more public, and maybe that will have
(15:32):
a change on your like, and it's so funny. This
guy is in a suit and tie on his way
to work. He's like, I don't think there should be
any connection between.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
What you wear and your attitude.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I think everyone has the right to choose what they
want to wear. So I don't see the need to
enforce rules on flying. I mean, what what would be
the reason for that?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's right, No, Dad, ask your boss why you have
to wear a suit and tie to work, sir. Eight
hundred six hundred cogo eight hundred six hundred five six
four six And if you let's thing live, you can
join us on the iHeartRadio app. Yet thanks again. That
was from the last hour. But the reference to the
seas candy was that's just one of my hacks. I
got a bunch of hacks, but that one is fool proof.
(16:15):
If you if you are so inclined and you have
the time while you're at the airport, duck into a
seas candy and get a small box and as you
walk in, hand it to the flight attendant, the one
that's right there when you walk in, and just say
this is for you, and the crew just distribute it
as you like. However, you're now in charge, and don't
wait for thank you, don't get into a conversation because
(16:36):
that also violates one of.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
My rules, don't talk while you're online. Just they'll trust me.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
When they want to express their thank you, they'll come
find you, maybe with a drink ticket or an upgrade.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
But that's not why I do it. It just it's
just a good thing to do.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I mean, it's gonna set you back all of like
eight bucks or thirteen bucks or whatever, and it's a
it's just a good thing.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
It's a little tool. And again that's not mine.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I got to give credit to Shannon Balliot in Los
Angeles at KFI. She turned me onto that trick. But
there's a couple of travel hacks. Maybe we should do
a travel hack.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Hour one of these days.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
There's a couple of things that you can do that
really make your experience really good and also make your
host's experience really good. And I think Sean Duffy's onto something.
He's like, take the energy that you're going to have
once you land, when you see your family, and start
your vacation with that energy.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
I think he's onto something there. I'm with him.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
The civility some of you might have noticed that we've
launched a civility campaign, and I think it's important as
we travel that we think about not just ourselves, not
just our families, but we think about those who are
around us, and we call our better angels.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I love it. Good for you, Sean preach on all right.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
When we come back, we got a liberal white woman
update yet again, another person through something at an ice agent.
Call it the sandwich guy two point zero. That's all
coming up next. Louke Penrose on news Radio six hundred
co going live on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Louke Penrose on.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
News Radio six hundred co go always live on the
iHeartRadio app. I'm with you, Phil Ferrar, Thanksgiving dinner outside
on the patio.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Where else in America can you pull that off?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
This is absolutely America's finest city, and that's America's finest weather.
It can be eighty degrees in Palm Springs. Like my
sons are already in the pool at Grandma's house. They're
out there because they're off all week. I still can't
figure this out. Who when did Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
become holiday?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
But our school's closed all week.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But good for them, as we travel on Thanksgiving. So
talking about the Transportation Secretary Sean duff be his ask
that you increase your civility.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
We all increase our stability.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Everybody on the industry side, on the airline side, and
on the passenger side.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Let's just step it up.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And be the best Americans we can be as we
get through the process.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It's not that hard. Everything's working.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
So the air traffic controllers are all set, the airlines
are all set, the software is all set.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
The Department of Transportation had a.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Huge budget infusion in the One Big Beautiful Bill, so
we're not going to have all these software problems that
we had under the Biden administration. I think the former
Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buddha Judge did nothing as Secretary
of Transportation. And Duffy's like, look, we're stepping it up
on our part. Let's let's have you step it up.
(19:46):
And also maybe you can step up how you how
what you wear to the airport.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Just maybe dressing with some respect, whether it's pair jeens
and and a decent shirt. I would encourage people to
maybe dress a little better, which encourage us, encourages us
to maybe behave all a little better.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, and as you can imagine, lots of blowback on
social media, positive and negative, and we're getting your reaction.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I've seen even at the mall they wear in pajamas,
you know, and it's really not nice, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Yeah, No, I agree with you. I don't like to
see people in their pajamas either. Children wear pajamas, but
even children can wear comfortable clothes. They don't have to
be out like ragamuffins. I mean, like, you know, if
they're toddlers, then you want them to sleep on the plane.
But yeah, Duffy's saying, don't go out and buy yourself
a brand new suit, but.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Don't look like a slob.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Hey, Lou.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I'd have to say I'm probably on the older side
of your listening audience, but I have to agree with
Sean Deffy. I hate seeing people out in public anywhere
in their pajamas, no less on a flight. And even
my children, who are in their thirties early thirties, still
did not appreciate seeing their peers at the grocery store
(20:58):
in pajamas. So I'm sure that feel the same way
about seeing the model flight.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah, I appreciate the call. I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I think what we're calling pajamas, they call lounge where.
That's like a new fangled thing. I mean, it's not
brand new, but I didn't have it when I was
a kid. There is no lounge where. Like I guess
when you come home, you can put on sweats, but
that really is gym where.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And even like in.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
The hit nineties television series Seinfeld, when George did start
wearing sweatpants in public, he was admonished by Jerry. Right,
didn't Jerry say, what's with the sweatpants? You're telling the
world you just have given up altogether. So it's true,
like it's not just us being picky. Wearing sweats in
(21:51):
public unless you're coming back from the gym is no bueno. Now,
we live in southern California, and women, certainly in southern
California and San die specifically, you got it made because
you can get away with wearing yoga pants everywhere because
A you all look good in them, and B you
can pretend that you're just going to or on your
(22:13):
way back from the gym. Now that not so much
at the airport, right, no one's gonna think you're on
your way to a yoga class. But I see people,
you know, Trader Joe's and Sprouts, and you know, they're
all just looking like they're just coming back from the gym.
And maybe they are just coming back from the gym,
but I don't know that whether you are or you aren't,
it does look fairly appropriate in public, and that's comfortable.
(22:38):
By the way, what is the older side of my
listening audience? What was that all about, mister finnerdykylu.
Speaker 7 (22:43):
I'd have to say I'm probably on the older side
of your listening audience.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
What age would that be? I don't want to say
because I don't want to find the level.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
She sounds younger to me, but I'm guessing maybe sixty something.
I mean, I am broadcasting and attracting an audience to
everyone that has a radio. Like they tell us, you know, hey,
you have a core demographic, and I reject that. I
am broadcasting to every single person with a radio. I'm
trying to attract. Well, it's put it this way, I'm
(23:12):
trying to attract every single person with a radio. I
get it that most fourteen year olds are not listening
to lou Penrose on COG. They're listening to, you know,
Channel ninety three to three with the Gina Little Latina.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
But if I was fourteen years old in San Diego,
I'd be listening to Lou Penrose on co Go. So
there is somebody out there that's fourteen listening to us.
So yeah, So if you're on the higher end of
our listening audience, that would be anybody over the age
of fifty, because I go from zero to one hundred.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
Hey, Lou, if you're six foot three stuck in one
of these chairs on Southwest Airlines and a suit and tie,
are you kidding me? You know how uncomfortable that's going
to be. Of course, I'm going to be wearing shorts
and flip.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Flops, and I have never been uncomfortable on an airplane.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So this is where I get my revenge.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Well, you six foot three people, you get the better jobs,
you get the better wives, right, I mean, everybody looks
up to There is a natural tendency to hold tall
people in higher regard.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
The studies have been done. I don't even want to
debate it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Tall people just they get better stuff, no question in
my mind, because I'm not one of them.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
But I'm here to tell you where we get even
is on that plane.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Because I a coach, I have so much leg room
that I could throw a party back there.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I mean I have like I got my backpack. I
can open up my backpack.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And lay out my laptop or get out whatever device
I'm using. I mean I can sort in my seat
with the space in front of me. That's how much
leg groom I have in coach on Southwest. I mean,
I am so comfortable in coach, and frankly, first class
is away. I got too much room in first class.
(25:08):
I feel like I need to decorate. You need to
bring bring an end table with me or something as
so much Truman Press says, no, no need for me to
be in first class. Now when we travel, my wife
and I travel on vacation when it's just her and I,
which we do just you know, to be have special
time for just us, we will fly first class. But
if it's just me, I'm not why coach works, no
(25:30):
problem at all.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So that is the short man's revenge. But I appreciate
the call.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Eight hundred six hundred cogo eight hundred six hundred five
six four six, And if you're listening live on the
iHeartRadio app, you can call us using the talk back mic.
So the liberal woman update, here's ICE agents. They were
guarding a raid that was being conducted by other ICE agents,
so they were standing guard as the ICE was wrastling
(25:57):
with the illegal alien and throwing.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Them in the back of the eye.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
They always wrestle with the ICE agents because the illegals
know they're illegal.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
They're not looking for a warrant.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
They don't want to be red rights, they don't know
due process. They know they're illegal. Only the liberal women
defending them think that there's a chance they might actually
belong here. So since the illegals know they're illegal, know
that once that van door closes, they are never coming
back to the United States, their instinct is to try
(26:29):
and run away. So of course they're wrestling. So that's
why you got to send out these ICE raids. Impacts
the three or four ICE guys. So the ICE guy
is standing guard and the liberal woman is shouting on him,
and then she dumps a mountain dew on top of
his head.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
She goes behind him and she dumps her mountain dew
on top of his head. Here the crowd go, oh,
she got him, Boy, did she get him?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
He's got mountain dew all over him. Look at him.
She soaked him. Yeah, and that's what happens.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Then the cop turns around, tackles her to the ground,
puts her in handcuffs because you know, you're not allowed
to do that. That would be battery of an officer. No,
you can hear her screaming there and cursing. You can't
(27:36):
touch you can't f and touch me. Well we can,
we can cuff you. And now guess what your friend
is going back home. He's being deported and you. Emily
Ramos is her name, eighteen years old. She's going to
jail and being charged with assault of an officer. Democrats
do not have a political problem. Democrats have a maturity problem.
(28:00):
Lou Penrose on News Radio six hundred co Go and
live on the iHeartRadio app. Kyrie Lawson followed the program
weeknights at six Lou Penrose on News Radio six hundred
Cogo always live on the iHeartRadio app talking about the
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his call to action to
(28:24):
step things up a little bit as you travel this
holiday season and pretty much here to four, Lou.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I have to differ with you. I don't like to,
but I have to. Not everyone looks good in yoga pants.
They know who they are.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Not in San Diego, Oh contrere, monfrere. Maybe you're out
in Hemmett loungeworth thing.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
You know what lounge were is That's what Hugh Hefner
used to wear at the Playboy mansion after a tough
day of doing nothing.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I don't think Hugh Hefner wore the silk pajamas and
that red thing on airplanes. Now I got a look
why I saw. You know, there was a mini series
on Heffner. My wife and I were riveted by it.
I mean, the whole story of Hugh Hefner, long before
the silk pajamas, like how he came to be the
(29:14):
editor of Playboy magazine. Pretty impressive, very amazing. But yeah,
he was like in suits then that was like an
image thing. I you know what, when you are able
to have three girlfriends like Holly and now I can't
remember the one from San Diego, can you like Bridget
(29:35):
and Holly and my favorite one from San Diego, and
you travel with them, you can wear lounge wear on
the airplane.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
I wouldn't wear pajamas on an airplane. Both, let me
wear my sweatpants, shirt and T shirt?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
SA Is that not? Is that not professional enough for
an airplane?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
No, you cannot wear a sweatpants and a T shirt
on an airplane. That's I think that's what Sean Duffy's
trying to get you not to do. You know where
you should wear sweatpants and a T shirt outside putting
up your Christmas lights? Like, I don't even think you
should go to home depot. First off, your sweatpants don't
have pockets, So where are you going to put your
passport or your boarding paths?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
No, my sweatpants have pockets.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Well, so you have the lazy man's sweatpants. What are
you putting in the pockets of your sweatpants?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Secret stuff?
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Right, lock and keys to keep the pick pockets from
taking them at the home depot.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I think Duffy has set the minimum standard for a
pair of jeans and a nice shirt. So no, the
sweatpants and the T shirt does not qualify.
Speaker 8 (30:38):
It's most people travel like they just crawled out of
their clothes hamper and nothing's been making it to the
laundry for a long time.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Right, you know what has happened when you're six years old.
But now we're grown ass men. This has looked like men.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
After nine to eleven, that's when everything changed, because the
airlines were like, sit down, we're in a war on terror.
You don't get any stuff, and they cut out a
lot of bennies. And I remember Erican airlines for people
lucky enough to fly in business or first which you know,
they did things like let's take the olives out of
the salads. You know, they started to go, I'll save us,
you know, forty grand a months or whatever. And it
(31:12):
just became flying cattle car in many ways, which is
why I like Southwest because they made it fun to
fly the cattle car. But everything changed after nine to eleven,
and understandably know much of it, but then it just
stayed their ways. People started, you know, traveling like slobs.
There's a vintage ship vintage airliners thing that I follow
(31:33):
on Facebook. He just look it up and they put
stuff like just forty years ago, people are flying their
dressing up, flying all over this cross country.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
It looks like a whole different world. Oh man.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
The first time I flew in an airplane, I flew
internationally on pan Am.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Remember that airline.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, I flew to you know, from jab to Rome,
and yeah, my parents had us in suits. My dad
wore a suit and they served dinner off a dinner
card and we were in coach, I mean whatever coach
was used to.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, fancy stuff and coach too.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
And then they said, you know, we can get more
seats in here, so let's make the seats you know,
nine inches wide, and we'll watch people shovel themselves into it.
And then they filled up the you know, up the
nose of the seven forty seven, so you just have
these fancy lounges and buffets. And then said, it's cram
some more seats in there. So it's not the fault
of all. It's not only the tourist fault, the traveler's faulty.
(32:26):
They adapted because they're would I think it'd be better
just to ship myself fed X sometimes.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But wouldn't stand to reason, I follow you, and obviously
business would go in that direction. Wouldn't stand the reason
that one of these airlines would be the you know,
the rich Carlton of airlines that would bring back that
space and quality of food.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Well, some are you know, they're trying to do that
and no Delta. Some of the others are trying to
upgrade in their international service, but you pay a premium
for it. Sure, the Eastern airlines are great because all
the potentates and impotentates compete with each other to have
look out fancy my air is you can fly coaching.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
It is bad, but I mean not even just for
first class or for business class, just the airline itself
just a little more luxurious, a little bit more spacey,
and you know, just service like you'd expect back in
the day.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
Yeah, there are some airlines, these special airlines that start
and then it's a tough sell, right.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Because at the end of the day, you just want
to get there and I can buy my own pretzels.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
But I'm glad we solved that problem.
Speaker 8 (33:25):
Coming up on Conway and Larson, the Seditious Six say
that fast being investigated by the Department of War, and
one of them more outspoken former vets is Buzz Patterson,
who's an Air Force Lieutenant Turner retired, used to be
