Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ryan Seacrest, Cicely Tanya, the back room. Today is Wednesday,
August 26th. Oh, Tanya, what is it you're refusing to do?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Tell everybody.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
I noticed something that I refuse to do on planes
that my husband just does so willy-nilly. The minute that
you get into the air and they say, you can
unbuckle your seatbelts, do your thing, whatever. He hits the
button on the side of the chair and he reclines
his seat. I cannot do it. Even though it's so
much more comfortable for me to recline, I just can't

(00:31):
do it. And I'm like, but why can't I do it?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Because you're being respectful of other people's space behind you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
The compromise is simple.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Turn around and ask them, do you mind if I
give enough space if I recline my seat or if
it's too far, let me know.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
That's actually a happy medium. That's not bad. That's the
way to do it. Most people, most people are going
to say, oh, no problem.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Some people, that creates awkwardness. If they say no, now
there's tension the whole flight.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, and that's so awk.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I'd rather just not even ask. By the way, reclining
for me is just uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I like being more straight up.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Oh, really?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, because I'm just too short.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Like, if I recline back, then I'm just like.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
You need a footstool. Yeah, exactly. It's not comfy.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
By the way, you can get those on Amazon. They're
like these little things that you attach to the bottom
of the seat in front of you.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
So your feet can sit on something?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yes!

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Man, that's weird. Holiday gifts for Sistine and Ryan.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
On Air with Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Checking off the boxes on your to-do list can be
a great feeling. When it comes to checking off coverage,
a State Farm agent can help you choose an option
that's right for you.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
