Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning time kis
on seven one Good Morning. Would you take the thirty
thousand dollars that Delta Airlines is offering all those passengers
on that flipped over plane. Take that money and walk away?
Or do you think you'd fight back for more? Knowing
that Delta Airlines is worth almost maybe ten billion?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
This is according to a like Google search.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We're just chit chatting about this in three things you
need to know if you want to know what it's
like to be a solo morning radio host in Cincinnati.
I'm like, am I gonna sound crazy and morbid for
talking about this?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Luckily no one died or anything of that nature. So
what do I do? Is I usually bop around?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
If you want to know what it's like to also
work at iHeart Cincinnati, we all kind of go into
commercials around the same time. So Mike McConnell from seven hundred,
Sarah and Kid Chris from WBN I asked our news
guys at seven hundred WLW said would you take the
money or would you not? Everyone pretty much was on
the opposite side of me. Mike, Kid, Chris and Sarah
all said I'd probably fight.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Back for more.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Rick Uchino from seven hundred and nine, He's like, man,
thirty thousand dollars, that's like a year and a half
worth of daycare, which is another conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh my god, what a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I would take the money. I would take the money
and halp. I would happily take the money and I
would leave. Now, let's if you're a kid.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Chris.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Of course, the way his brain works, he's like, well,
I need to know where I'm at financially in this world.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I need to I need more details.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And I said, Okay, So let's operate under the same
scenario in Cincy this morning in the Tri State. Let's
say that you are in good health, and let's say
you have no you didn't sustain any injuries that you
would need medical attention for in the future. Okay, Let's
let's be on the same page there, and let's say
you're like, you're financially stable or you're just maybe you're
(01:48):
in this the same financial situation you're in right now
on your way into work.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
All of that being said, would you take the money
or not? I'm taking it.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I know Delta Airlines is worth more, and I know
that my life, like my company life insurance policy. It
I heard media is worth more than thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I know that my life, if I were to add
a dollar value to it, is higher than what they're
offering a total of like two point three million, by
the way, for all the passengers combined with their company
being valued, like I said, somewhere around ten billion. But
there is no dollar amount that is worth sacrificing my
(02:29):
piece for.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
That's my take.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So if I I know that, if you anyone that's
been involved in legal troubles could probably speak to this.
It is a long drawn out process where you're probably
locked in three years, plus you got to pay whatever
legal fees, plus you got to probably get back on
a plane to go to wherever Delta is hosting this.
It's time, money, energy is what the trade off cost
(02:57):
is for you getting more actual physical dollars from Delta
Airlines plus your piece. I don't think any of that's
worth it to me personally. To me personally, I would
take the thirty thousand walk away. But here's where the
conversation is gonna get interesting. It's whatever your take is
this morning. Five one, three, seven, four, nine, one oh
(03:17):
seven one, or you can also talk back with Tiff
on the iHeartRadio app. Would you take this money?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Good morning?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
You're waking up with tif in the morning on Kiss
one oh seven one. If you're just walking into this conversation,
we're in the midst of talking about whether or not
you would take the thirty thousand dollars that Delta is
offering all of those passengers in that flipped overplane, or
or you like Delta.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Thirty thousand for my life. I was hanging upside down
like a bet I want more money.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I had said I would take the thirty thousand because
I think that this is going to be a long,
on out legal process, and to me, there is no
dollar amount that is worth sacrificing my piece.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But that's just my take. What is yours.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I would absolutely take the money because if you.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Take this to Core or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You may not even get that amount or less nothing
at all, and it's gonna take way longer.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
I take the money right now.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Thank you for the talkback with if it's an alternative
way to contribute to my show. The microphone is in
the top right hand corner. If you listen to Kiss
on the iHeartRadio app. You're also more than welcome to
call me as well. Five win three seven four nine
one oh seven one. I'm the one here that answers
the phone, so you get direct access to me. Excuse
me if I'm wicked naive when it comes to legal
(04:44):
troubles and such, I just I'm and I'm happy to
be naive on them, honestly, because they're nothing but a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I hear.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But I'm assuming they will all go after them individually.
Will this be a class action lawsuit? We've got time
for at least one more?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Definitely, definitely more money.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It was a broke year and I'm trying to make
this paper. Okay, I need that money. Good morning. You're
waking up with tip in the morning on Kiss on No.
Seven one?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Would you take the money or would you fight back
for more?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
High You're on the show from one tip to another.
I would totally take the money. And what's your reasoning
before I give mine?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, I kind him like thirty thousand bucks a lot
of money, and if I.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Didn't have any like medical issues or anything, I would
take it. And then also just the legal system and
the battle like that just takes forever.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Everything I've watched on TV. Right, No, I would. I
would just take it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
What neighborhood are you waking up with me and Tiff Oakley? Okay,
so you're not dealing with any of that traffic on
seventy five.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I'm hearing it's a nightmare. I am not luckily. Well,
thank you for the call. I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Gal. If you're just walking into the conversation, you've probably
come across the headline that Delta Airlines is offering thirty
thous to every passenger that flipped upside down in that
airplane last week.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Do I think that thirty thousand is a slap in
the face? I do.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I mean, could we bump it up to like maybe
fifty thousand? Could we maybebe get some like Companion Airline tickets?
Like could I have status for the rest of my life?
Like I would like that?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I do.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
But I do think I would take the money. I
would because I just I there's nothing in my life
right now that is worth sacrificing my piece for.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
That's my take. I would love to hear from.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
A lawyer, though, if there's a lawyer listening right now,
Am I correct in thinking that this process is going
to take such a long time. It's going to be
really drawn out, and like would it be worth it
versus would it not be I'd like to get a
legal expert on this.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
We had time for one more.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I think if you don't sue them, that's kind of
crazy because you're going to get a lot of money
out of that. It's worth the time and energy, and
they're going to pay your legal fees when you win,
because you will win. And just because you walk away
with no physical injuries doesn't mean you walked away with
no mental injuries.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
You're going to think about that the rest of your life.
So yeah, definitely see them.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Okay, great take, loved that. Thank you for the talkback
with Tiff. That was something else that Kid Chris and
Mike McConnell both said in their studios. They said, yeah,
but you can sue them for like for trauma, and
and Kid Chris is like, yeah, especially if they get
back on the plane to go fight them somewhere. A
lot of interesting takes a lot and you still have
(07:33):
more We have more than enough time and room in
the show for you to contribute. If you want to
jump in on it. I'm going to table it for
right now? Can you give me two songs? What drinks
outside of coffee, because coffee came in dead last on
this list, are good for boosting mood and energy at
this very hour in the morning. So if coffee's at
(07:55):
dead last, what's at number one?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We'll get to that next
