the menu is the new twenty dollars meal deal and
this features two of the signature whopper sandwiches, one flame
grilled cheeseburger, three small fries, three small drinks, which is
they're saying fit for a tailgate party.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Twenty bucks for all of that. I think that's you know,
that's decent. Let me do an inventory on that again.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Two whoppers and then what what what what else? Two whoppers,
also a cheeseburger, cheeseburger.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yep, and then three small fries and three small drinks
all for twenty bucks.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Oh right, I mean decent, bad decent, right, I think
it's decent. Yeah, I'm all, yeah, I for some reason,
I just thought that doesn't sound like a lot, you know, but.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, I mean for twenty bucks, especially these days.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I mean, think about it.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
If you go to now look, I don't know, is
the is a five guys burger a lot bigger than
the Whopper?
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Or yeah, I don't know, I don't. I mean, right
off the top, let's see signature whopper.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I mean similar, similar size, I think, clearly different types
of different qualities of food there, but being if you
go to five Guys and get a burger and fries,
that's what is it?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Twenty bucks? It's twenty bucks just for that, oh.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
God, and probably more when you add in a drink.
I mean, I listen, right, I like the five guys.
I'm not knocking them, I'm not, but their price point
is there's no that's a eighty dollars dinner. If I
took my wife and three children, that's an eighty dollars dinner.
I mean, I'm just being honest, Like, five guys, I
(02:28):
love you, but I'm not spending eighty dollars for burgers
and fries.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Man, I'm just not Yeah, that's stiff.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You're right, even though it's a ton of food typically,
especially when you're talking about kids, those fries.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I think it's ridiculous. How many fries you get there too.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I mean, you you buy a large fry, you'll need
a wheelbarrow to get it home.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
You seriously, Yeah, no question about that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Let's bring in Alex Stone from ABC News and Alex,
I know that you.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I think he's there. Are you there, Alex, I'm on
the phone.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
When we were on our normal clean line. I could
hear Josh, but I couldn't hear you. So we'll go
old school here. We'll do it via the telephone.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, and yeah, that has something to do with the
way I'm connected.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I guess out here in the it's the mixed minus.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
So Alex, if you're on all week, just call Ina
wat to do it.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Yeah, where was that? I caught the very end of it?
Was it? So it's it burger king that you can
get that deal?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, it's burger king deal.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
They've hooked up with OSU the Buckeyes here locally, and uh,
it's like this meal deal they're offering for you know,
fit for a tailgate, and there's some other Buckeye themed
kind of things that they're doing.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
But they're partnering up with OSU. It's big.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
That's big for well, both parties quite frankly. It's big
for Burger King, it's big for O s U.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I like it, No, I like it? Is it gonna
be weird when I go to Burger King here and
I'm like, so, I hear you have that OSU deal
right California.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, yeah, they're gonna go. You need to fly to
Ohio as you get in on it.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Yeah. I don't think they're going to go for that
out here. Yeah. I took my kids and we got
sandwiches the other day at a you know, a place
that they're not cheap sandwiches, but there's still like turkey sandwiches.
And three sandwiches came out to fifty bucks. You're going, man,
I ain't getting just a sandwich now, it's just you know,
a regular sandwich joint where you get it and they
make you a sumb and you leave. And it was
fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
My wife, My wife stopped. I asked her if she
would be nice enough to go get me lunch. My
son and I were watching our Big it's the biggest
wrestling event of the year for my son and I
yesterday afternoon, and she went and got the lunch. She
got me a jersey, a Jersey mic.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So yeah, Jersey Mike sead, those are good.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Those are delicious. I love Jersey Mics.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
You're a fabulous, fabulous sandwich company, and I will endorse
you at any moment if you reach out to me.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I love you.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
But I was surprised to learn that the sandwich I got,
which was turkey, roast, beef and bacon, they call it
the Super Club, like an eight inch or whatever that
comes out to ten inches whatever they have there, it's
like ten dollars and fifty cents.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
And I'm like, yeah, with no chips or drink or anything.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, I remember when you could get two foot longs
at Subway for less than that.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Yeah, and like you go to you know, a smaller
chain and they can be like fifteen eighteen bucks a
sandwich now for eight inches, and it's wow, the price.
It's definitely extensive. But we all remember five dollars so
long and all that, and that's that's long gone.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, Jersey mics though it's a it's a little bit
different quality they and it feels like I don't know
those things are.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
They're really filling too. It seems like the Jersey mic stuff. Yeah,
they're so good. So did you get it the MIC's way, Josh? No,
As a matter of fact, my biggest instruction was no juice.
I go.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
As a matter of fact, make them clean the board
before they make my sandwich. I do not.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I'm not. I just get it salty bread. It's gross. Yeah,
I don't want that. No, Yeah, yeah, you.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Got it Josh his way instead of Mike's.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Way, which is no juice, no juice on.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
My wife will tell you.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
That's good when you put it that way.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Now, my wife confirm for you that I am all
no juice. I am, I'm dry, no juice. Just you know, wow,
this just I don't know what happened just now. I'm
I'm scared of.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
How we went down that road. That's pretty amazing how
we got there. But all right, I.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Feel like I need a shower after that because talking
about the money I make, I don't know where you
pervs were going.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
With that, right where the pervs? Sure? Uh huh sure?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So suspect suspected cyber attack impacts Seattle's airport over the
weekend and into today, and Alex I was just telling
Josh a little bit ago Friday, when I flew out
of Columbus to come to Vegas, it was delayed, delayed, delay,
the longest delay I've ever experienced. We were supposed to
leave it a little bit before nine pm local time.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
We left at ten after two am.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It got delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed. And
then by the time we land, because it's a four
hour flight, it's you know, six am Ohio time, three
am Vegas time. Now I'm on twenty four hours. I've
been awake and it was like nuts. And then I
saw this, and I was like, okay, the cyber attack,
that that had nothing to do I flew out on
(07:15):
Spirit and that had nothing to do with theirs. It
was we were getting a plane from Fort Lauderdale and
then there was a water on the floor in the plane.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They were trying to figure.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That out in in Fort Lauderdale before they sent it
to us. But I have a feeling though a cyber attack,
I mean, certainly something like this would have I don't know,
answered some questions with regard to that, but I'm glad
that it wasn't that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So what happened in.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
This particular ran it from the toilet, you know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
They were getting pretty torrential rain and maybe, like I
feel like maybe something there was like a door that
might not have been shut and then it was coming in.
I don't know, not while they were flying. Obviously that's impossible.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Were you in the big front seat or whatever are
they called?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I was an ae get you, mister big shot.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm boozy, absolutely, man.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
But yeah, this all began on Saturday, and they just
updated us a little while ago that they're still dealing
with it. And it's everything at the Seattle Airport, which
is a big airport and a lot of international flights
that go out of there to Asia and elsewhere. But
screens of the airport haven't been working. That they've had
to hand the input the flight information of passengers for
(08:32):
international flights. Security lines have been backed up, accepting boarding passes,
baggage handling being offline. They're going to do that by hand.
That the kiosks so Last Airlines today is pleading with
passengers going to and from Seattle. Don't check your bags
because they're having to manually sort everything, and that whole
thing is down in the airport, saying print your boarding
(08:53):
passes at home. Don't plan on being able to use
electronic boarding passes or to print them out when you
get to the airport. These trying to fly out and
they say, yeah, it's been a mess.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Now longly it's been people in front of us, ten
to fifteen people.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But if because of twenty five minutes to just get
ten fifty fifteen people, do you hear people talk about
three hours or aport international flight, you know, it might
very well be gud. Did they need more than three
hours to go? And so the FBI tells have said
they're offering their assistants are helding out. It's really the
airport's case. They have a port police department that they're
working with other agencies, but the port isn't willing to
really say how deep this goes. But they don't. They
(09:28):
say they don't know who did this or what they
were looking for. They noticed somebody was in the system
on Saturday, then they shut everything down. That's even the
airport website, the Port of Seattle website, all the email
addresses of everybody who works there, and the biggest backups
have really been for international flights, but it has been
a mess. They don't think any critical passenger data was stolen.
(09:50):
They are still trying to assess really what it was
and what they were going for, but slowly not some
things are coming back online, but baggage handling not among them,
and printing out from kiosks not among them. So a
lot of money impacts from somebody who got illegally into
their system.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I don't know about you, Alex, but I am getting
really sick and tired of the same headline with regard
to cyber attacks. It just you just you know, you
kind of pivot to different areas of your life, and
it is affecting us, it seems like on a daily
basis now and if it might not, you know, affect
your particular situation today, but it is affecting It seems
(10:29):
like buying large just about everybody in the population. And
you know, this is one of those unintended consequences of technology.
As we get more and more, you know, you know,
you can put your ID, your your driver's license in
your phone, and.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You can do this, and you can do that.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Boy, the more things like this, we get more and
more dependent on technology with regard Look at this. I mean,
it's just they're crippled when something like this happens. They
can't operate. Now, it's silly, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah, And a lot of passengers have been saying the
same today and like, look, this shows you yet again.
And we say this time and time again how reliant
we are on technology, and that if something goes down,
whether it be because of a mistake like previous problems
like the crowd source issue or in this case a
cyber attack, that we're just we're at our knees and
(11:20):
there's not a lot that we can do. And yeah,
I mean California made a big point this last week
that we can start doing what you've been able to
do and have electronic driver's licenses and then keep it
in the wallet on your phone. And yet that's another
step where you have a problem and you don't physically
have it in hand. So many people don't physically print
out a boarding pass any longer. But then they don't
(11:41):
have the scanners to scan them at the airport. So
it's any number of things, but the Seattle Airport really
dealing with it today.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, I feel like it's scarier as we go along.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And you know, look, I certainly have my share fair
or fair share of.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Get off my lawn days as an old guy now.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
But it feels like like as we with this technology,
you know, not having the physical ID or the physical
boarding pass, or the physical way to claim your luggage
or or I don't know, fill in the blank all
the way around, it is going to become more and
more of a problem when again they get crippled. They're
just stunned. They can't You're just frozen. You can't do anything.
(12:21):
And man, that is I mean, I wonder the more
they're adding the technology and then with these setbacks, it's like,
did it really save you a bunch of money with
I don't know fill in the blank, which is what
kind of motivates them with regard to technology. It's like,
I wonder if that's going to start becoming lopsided where
they go, maybe we just go back and stop dealing
(12:43):
with that.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, I mean, when it works, it's great, right, So
you can track your bags and you know when your
bag is in the belly of the plane and you
get the push alert saying that it's been boarded onto
the aircraft and they know exactly where it is. But
when it goes bad because they don't have the systems
in place to do it by hand and to know
how to track things like they used to do it,
then it's a real problem. And that's my last airlines
(13:06):
are saying, hey, please don't check a bag today because
the people who are reliant on computers to do the
tracking of it, they're now having to sort them and
get them to hotels and get them to people's homes
when they haven't been able to give them back, and
it's just piles of luggage. And it doesn't only impact
the Seattle Airport. Alaska is now a major airline after
they've bought up other airlines, but their main headquarters and
(13:28):
main hub is out of Sea Tack in Seattle, so
it could be flights going all over the US. And
they've then got to get the bags to those people.
So this is going to take a while. They got
to figure it out. They're in day three of it
right now and still a lot of the computers aren't working.
They're slowly bringing them back on board online. The email
addresses for people who work for the airport and for
(13:50):
the port don't work. They bounce back they had when
they knew somebody was in there, they took it all down.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Alex Stone out of Los Angeles and Ilex, thank you
very much much appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Have a great day.
Speaker 5 (14:01):

cooling products and dal Mechanical.

that that had nothing to do I flew out on
(07:15):
Spirit and that had nothing to do with theirs. It
was we were getting a plane from Fort Lauderdale and
then there was a water on the floor in the plane.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They were trying to figure.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
That out in in Fort Lauderdale before they sent it
to us. But I have a feeling though a cyber attack,
I mean, certainly something like this would have I don't know,
answered some questions with regard to that, but I'm glad
that it wasn't that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So what happened in.
Speaker 5 (07:38):
This particular ran it from the toilet, you know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
They were getting pretty torrential rain and maybe, like I
feel like maybe something there was like a door that
might not have been shut and then it was coming in.
I don't know, not while they were flying. Obviously that's impossible.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Were you in the big front seat or whatever are
they called?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I was an ae get you, mister big shot.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm boozy, absolutely, man.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
But yeah, this all began on Saturday, and they just
updated us a little while ago that they're still dealing
with it. And it's everything at the Seattle Airport, which
is a big airport and a lot of international flights
that go out of there to Asia and elsewhere. But
screens of the airport haven't been working. That they've had
to hand the input the flight information of passengers for
(08:32):
international flights. Security lines have been backed up, accepting boarding passes,
baggage handling being offline. They're going to do that by hand.
That the kiosks so Last Airlines today is pleading with
passengers going to and from Seattle. Don't check your bags
because they're having to manually sort everything, and that whole
thing is down in the airport, saying print your boarding
(08:53):
passes at home. Don't plan on being able to use
electronic boarding passes or to print them out when you
get to the airport. These trying to fly out and
they say, yeah, it's been a mess.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Now longly it's been people in front of us, ten
to fifteen people.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But if because of twenty five minutes to just get
ten fifty fifteen people, do you hear people talk about
three hours or aport international flight, you know, it might
very well be gud. Did they need more than three
hours to go? And so the FBI tells have said
they're offering their assistants are helding out. It's really the
airport's case. They have a port police department that they're
working with other agencies, but the port isn't willing to
really say how deep this goes. But they don't. They
(09:28):
say they don't know who did this or what they
were looking for. They noticed somebody was in the system
on Saturday, then they shut everything down. That's even the
airport website, the Port of Seattle website, all the email
addresses of everybody who works there, and the biggest backups
have really been for international flights, but it has been
a mess. They don't think any critical passenger data was stolen.
(09:50):
They are still trying to assess really what it was
and what they were going for, but slowly not some
things are coming back online, but baggage handling not among them,
and printing out from kiosks not among them. So a
lot of money impacts from somebody who got illegally into
their system.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I don't know about you, Alex, but I am getting
really sick and tired of the same headline with regard
to cyber attacks. It just you just you know, you
kind of pivot to different areas of your life, and
it is affecting us, it seems like on a daily
basis now and if it might not, you know, affect
your particular situation today, but it is affecting It seems
(10:29):
like buying large just about everybody in the population. And
you know, this is one of those unintended consequences of technology.
As we get more and more, you know, you know,
you can put your ID, your your driver's license in
your phone, and.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You can do this, and you can do that.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Boy, the more things like this, we get more and
more dependent on technology with regard Look at this. I mean,
it's just they're crippled when something like this happens. They
can't operate. Now, it's silly, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah, And a lot of passengers have been saying the
same today and like, look, this shows you yet again.
And we say this time and time again how reliant
we are on technology, and that if something goes down,
whether it be because of a mistake like previous problems
like the crowd source issue or in this case a
cyber attack, that we're just we're at our knees and
(11:20):
there's not a lot that we can do. And yeah,
I mean California made a big point this last week
that we can start doing what you've been able to
do and have electronic driver's licenses and then keep it
in the wallet on your phone. And yet that's another
step where you have a problem and you don't physically
have it in hand. So many people don't physically print
out a boarding pass any longer. But then they don't
(11:41):
have the scanners to scan them at the airport. So
it's any number of things, but the Seattle Airport really
dealing with it today.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, I feel like it's scarier as we go along.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And you know, look, I certainly have my share fair
or fair share of.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Get off my lawn days as an old guy now.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
But it feels like like as we with this technology,
you know, not having the physical ID or the physical
boarding pass, or the physical way to claim your luggage
or or I don't know, fill in the blank all
the way around, it is going to become more and
more of a problem when again they get crippled. They're
just stunned. They can't You're just frozen. You can't do anything.
(12:21):
And man, that is I mean, I wonder the more
they're adding the technology and then with these setbacks, it's like,
did it really save you a bunch of money with
I don't know fill in the blank, which is what
kind of motivates them with regard to technology. It's like,
I wonder if that's going to start becoming lopsided where
they go, maybe we just go back and stop dealing
(12:43):
with that.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Yeah, I mean, when it works, it's great, right, So
you can track your bags and you know when your
bag is in the belly of the plane and you
get the push alert saying that it's been boarded onto
the aircraft and they know exactly where it is. But
when it goes bad because they don't have the systems
in place to do it by hand and to know
how to track things like they used to do it,
then it's a real problem. And that's my last airlines
(13:06):
are saying, hey, please don't check a bag today because
the people who are reliant on computers to do the
tracking of it, they're now having to sort them and
get them to hotels and get them to people's homes
when they haven't been able to give them back, and
it's just piles of luggage. And it doesn't only impact
the Seattle Airport. Alaska is now a major airline after
they've bought up other airlines, but their main headquarters and
(13:28):
main hub is out of Sea Tack in Seattle, so
it could be flights going all over the US. And
they've then got to get the bags to those people.
So this is going to take a while. They got
to figure it out. They're in day three of it
right now and still a lot of the computers aren't working.
They're slowly bringing them back on board online. The email
addresses for people who work for the airport and for
(13:50):
the port don't work. They bounce back they had when
they knew somebody was in there, they took it all down.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Alex Stone out of Los Angeles and Ilex, thank you
very much much appreciate it.
