Yes, you jerk, that's Derek. I want to be here.
I was that a freebie? Or are you a fan?
Uh no, I'm a fan.
Speaker 11 (04:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
I lived out there for almost eleven years in Denver. Yeah,
oh yeah, I was just there. Yeah, yeah, okay, you
were just in Denver. I was at the airport.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Oh oh well, same thing. Yeah, but he was Inorad. Well,
I can tell you if you were at the Denver airport,
you weren't in Denver. I tell you that. That's sure.
You were closer to touching Kansas. Yeah, I've said that
for you.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
When they built that new airport, they said, someone said,
I got on a deal.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Let's go farther away.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Yeah, there's no way you can tell me that Uber
didn't have a hand in that airport. There's no way
I'm taking a seventy five dollars Uber to take an
eighty five dollars United flight.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
There's no way. There's no way. Uber didn't go no,
put it out there a little bit. Oh my god,
I never thought of that.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Yeah, where we live, our ubers are seventy five eighty bucks,
and that.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
They have fair wars every now and then that airport.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Is perpetually being constructed. It is, it is, I don't I.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Mean, I remember.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
I mean the now Here's the thing about flying out
of Denver. You got a direct flight I mean to villages.
I mean, you can fly anywhere because it is it
is the connection city.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I miss that.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I live in New York City now, but flying out
of Denver has got to be one of the best cities.
I mean, some of your flights might be a little longer,
YadA YadA, but it's directs everywhere.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
You're right, it's a nice hub. It is. It is.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
Was the last one on my plane. It's a long story.
I won't bore you with. Let's talk about Derek.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
But you have some game.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Advantage identifying the hat, because you were going to say,
what type of heart is that your word or something
like that.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
No, I was going to say, who are you named after?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Who? What are you talking about? My first name? Derek.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
I don't think i'm named I mean, I'm not named
after anybody.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
No, No, his dad fought oil. Well, yeah, I beat
him to it.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Yeah, yeah, Greg Garson would have been Eric Clampton Derek
and the Dominos.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
But we'll move on. Yeah. Yeah, Eric's doing for himself. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
So you were the last one on your plane. Were
you traveling alone?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yes, the last one of your plane is got it?
You were at the wrong gate, no.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
No, no, I got it. Were you asleep? No? No,
I got there two hours early.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Yeah, and my gate was there was a construction thing there,
so it was kind of half cordoned off.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Your family's got it down traveling with you, don't They
don't you know, they're.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Just the best way to travel. Yeah. They went separately.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, and there was And I got there early,
looked at the big screen, got one to my gate,
and I.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Can't imagine him.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
They have the desk there with the sign saying where
it's going.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
And you didn't even talk about your TSA adventure. You
couldn't find the pre check and.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Well, but it was right and everyone was super friendly
in TSA both here and there.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Thank you, you didn't have to go through Philadelphia. Why
were you at the last person on your flight?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
So I positioned myself right near the door to the jetway. Yeah,
because I want to be the you know, I want
to get the plane. Sure, because I had a nice,
nice ticket.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
And uh, so I joh when Tom Tom tries, he
has a nice.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Oh yeah, satin real nice.
Speaker 9 (07:09):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
It's kind of hard to explain because police tape everywhere
they're they're building something, And so I I waited, what airport.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Is this Denver?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
So I finally I'm literally sitting there for two hours
and I find a look of it. When is this
thing on a board? So I walk up to the
guy and I go, when is this flight boarding? Because oh,
we changed the gate. Well, maybe an announcement would have
been nice.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I guarantee.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Was right there because they'd had they'd moved the normal desk.
The desk for that gate is not working, so they
were down at the next one. So if it made
an announcement, I didn't hear it because I was too
close to the actual.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Did they not send you a text? They all text you.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
That's what I wanted.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
They see your nice, nice ticket.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I had a very nice ticket.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
I always got I get to I know.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
That's that was what Kelly and I were talking about
last night. Why didn't they text that everybody? They changed
the gate and then goes, well, we changed that on
the big board.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
So I have to get up and walk halfway down
the airport to find the big board.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I think being last on the plane is a gift.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
It is a gift. It really is.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
No, you love sitting there while everybody else boards. No,
it was, but everybody else can't see him. It was
a nice ticket seat.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
It was a nice, nice ticket. So we got a
free drink.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
No, no, no, it was.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
It was one of those choose your own seat seats,
so I got I got wedged between two people and
then my car a nice ticket at all.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
My carrion had to be sent to the back of
the plane so when it landed, I had to seat.
Oh my goodness, it was nice. There were nice peo
In any event, it was that's that airport. What are
they ever going to finish it? If you if you've
ever been to the Denver Airport when you look at
s A, it's like looking at a photograph of Ellis Island,
but there are more people there.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yep.
Speaker 11 (09:04):
Yeah, no.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
And also, I mean they really lean in.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
There's a lot of conspiracy theories with that airport about that.
There's like this underground kind of thing going on. They
lean into it. They're like literally underground. Yeah, there's there's
all kinds of conspiracy theories about the d i A there.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
There has been for a while.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
You know.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
They got Lucifer the that Bronco, that Bleue Bronco out
front with the red eyes and fell on the guy
that that sculpted it and killed him, and so that's
like that's that's uh, you know a lot of the
stories around there. But yeah, they lean into it. They're like,
sorry for the delay on construction. We've been trying to
we've been dealing with aliens. Like they have signs that
(09:41):
I really lean in, lean into it.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
But yeah, interesting, interesting, But yeah, it's a great, great
place to love. My pilots, lovely, everyone working on the airlines.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
They're great.
Speaker 9 (09:50):
Glad you didn't miss your flight.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
It was they shut the door to the jetway.
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Oh usually they won't reopen it.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Not not not the plane, the the end of the
jetway where it ends in the airport. Yes, And I
said they didn't change the location on the board where
I was sitting because I had gotten there two hours early.
So I've learned a lesson, which is every ten minutes,
walk up there and say is this still the gate?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Oh no, that's not the lessons. Check your text. I
did not get a text.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
I'll show you my phone, no text.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Because is it possible, I'm I'm really trying to make
some progress with you today.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Is it possible that any of this was your fault?
Speaker 8 (10:32):
No, I've got I had a hard ticket and it
says the gate right there and they gate forty.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
They there's no way they could have made an announcement
and you missed it.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
What gate did it go out of?
Speaker 11 (10:45):
Like?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Why did you have a hard ticket?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Wait?
Speaker 9 (10:47):
Forty? And you what gate did it go out of?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Fifty fifty one? So I got some extra steps in? Yeah,
you did fast running.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
It was close anyway, he has a hard ticket because he's.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
No, because I was checking a bag. I mean, you
check a bag. I guess they automatically gave me a ticket. Oh,
I don't know, but that phone thing is that scares me?
I like having your ticket where you put your ticket
on the phone.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
That's a tough sentence.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
In twenty twenty five, that phone thing really scarce. Yeah,
I hate to break.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
It to you, but there's no there's no wire. Yeah,
you still always get a hard ticket.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I did in this I didn't, not always, but I
did in this case. And it was a well that phone.
Speaker 10 (11:30):
Thing really scares me. Could have been a quote from
nineteen oh seven. Yeah, yeah, and he goes, if you
heard about debit card? Are you kidding me? My bank's
on a car.
Speaker 9 (11:41):
Hey, it could be on your phone.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
No, but Kelly had what is it called? She had
texted me the ticket the day before. I looked at
it and that's great. And when I got to the
airport it wouldn't open up. Oh, so I had to
do some homework. I called and I said, hey, can
you resend me the ticket? It won't open up up?
And she said what.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Oh I'm sure she was.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
At any point during that conversation, did you hear like
a mute button go on?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Or on her own?
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I like a herd ticket.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
I want to be able to I want to be
able to prove I deserve to be on this plane.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Oh they know, probably.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
Yeah, and they're doing an ad campaign at Southwest assigned seats. Right,
do people like assigned seats?
Speaker 11 (12:24):
No?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
They I think people like the way Southwest does it?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I do?
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Yeah, great, unless you miss your A group.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I'm sorry. I like the way first class works, is
why I like it.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Yeah, if you can afford that.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
I don't have first class. Well here's my thing with Southwest.
I like the open seating once I'm on the plane.
I hate the preboarding process where everybody's not showing their
cards and kind of you.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I've got to go. I gotta go shake people down
to see if they're really a thirty one. You should
have your phone out. I can't.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
This guy yesterday would not move. He had candy crush out.
I mean, and man in his fifties just going for
a high score. We're all trying to he would not
just share your position because I'm somebody. You know, you'll
hear somebody go it doesn't matter, We're all going to
the same place.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
And I go, you're a psychopath.
Speaker 11 (13:12):
Man.
Speaker 6 (13:13):

Speaker 6 (13:32):
One time, me and my wife we were flying out
a separate gate, same airport in Pensacola. I was flying United,
she was flying Southwest. She's very she's very introverted, young lady.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
I saw her just getting pushed to the back, to
the back. I went over there, I took her ticket,
and I went through the line. I went, hey, are
you oh a thirty head on back?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Big dog. I took Alyssa all the way to the
front of the line.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Everybody was looking at me like he's a psycho. But
Alissa was standing exactly where she should because they were
bullying her. I mean, they were pushing her back, but
because she's not going to fight her way and force
her phone in their face. So I mean I had
to go over there, and it was it was awkward.
I'm not going to lie, but she was good.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
You know.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I'm just that type of guy.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
I've actually seen them do a thing where someone comes
up and they go to scan the ticket.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
No, no, no, no, you're not in the.

Agrop Yes, I've seen that.

Josh is the same distance and he said they're a
pick axe.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yes, you jerk, that's Derek. I want to be here.
I was that a freebie? Or are you a fan?
Uh no, I'm a fan.
Speaker 11 (04:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
I lived out there for almost eleven years in Denver. Yeah,
oh yeah, I was just there. Yeah, yeah, okay, you
were just in Denver. I was at the airport.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Oh oh well, same thing. Yeah, but he was Inorad. Well,
I can tell you if you were at the Denver airport,
you weren't in Denver. I tell you that. That's sure.
You were closer to touching Kansas. Yeah, I've said that
for you.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
When they built that new airport, they said, someone said,
I got on a deal.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Let's go farther away.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Yeah, there's no way you can tell me that Uber
didn't have a hand in that airport. There's no way
I'm taking a seventy five dollars Uber to take an
eighty five dollars United flight.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
There's no way. There's no way. Uber didn't go no,
put it out there a little bit. Oh my god,
I never thought of that.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Yeah, where we live, our ubers are seventy five eighty bucks,
and that.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
They have fair wars every now and then that airport.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Is perpetually being constructed. It is, it is, I don't I.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Mean, I remember.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
I mean the now Here's the thing about flying out
of Denver. You got a direct flight I mean to villages.
I mean, you can fly anywhere because it is it
is the connection city.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I miss that.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
I live in New York City now, but flying out
of Denver has got to be one of the best cities.
I mean, some of your flights might be a little longer,
YadA YadA, but it's directs everywhere.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
You're right, it's a nice hub. It is. It is.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
Was the last one on my plane. It's a long story.
I won't bore you with. Let's talk about Derek.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
But you have some game.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Advantage identifying the hat, because you were going to say,
what type of heart is that your word or something
like that.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
No, I was going to say, who are you named after?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Who? What are you talking about? My first name? Derek.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
I don't think i'm named I mean, I'm not named
after anybody.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
No, No, his dad fought oil. Well, yeah, I beat
him to it.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Yeah, yeah, Greg Garson would have been Eric Clampton Derek
and the Dominos.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
But we'll move on. Yeah. Yeah, Eric's doing for himself. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (05:58):
So you were the last one on your plane. Were
you traveling alone?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Yes, the last one of your plane is got it?
You were at the wrong gate, no.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
No, no, I got it. Were you asleep? No? No,
I got there two hours early.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
Yeah, and my gate was there was a construction thing there,
so it was kind of half cordoned off.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Your family's got it down traveling with you, don't They
don't you know, they're.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Just the best way to travel. Yeah. They went separately.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, and there was And I got there early,
looked at the big screen, got one to my gate,
and I.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Can't imagine him.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
They have the desk there with the sign saying where
it's going.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
And you didn't even talk about your TSA adventure. You
couldn't find the pre check and.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Well, but it was right and everyone was super friendly
in TSA both here and there.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Thank you, you didn't have to go through Philadelphia. Why
were you at the last person on your flight?
Speaker 8 (06:49):
So I positioned myself right near the door to the jetway. Yeah,
because I want to be the you know, I want
to get the plane. Sure, because I had a nice,
nice ticket.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
And uh, so I joh when Tom Tom tries, he
has a nice.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Oh yeah, satin real nice.
Speaker 9 (07:09):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
It's kind of hard to explain because police tape everywhere
they're they're building something, And so I I waited, what airport.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Is this Denver?
Speaker 8 (07:20):
So I finally I'm literally sitting there for two hours
and I find a look of it. When is this
thing on a board? So I walk up to the
guy and I go, when is this flight boarding? Because oh,
we changed the gate. Well, maybe an announcement would have
been nice.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I guarantee.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Was right there because they'd had they'd moved the normal desk.
The desk for that gate is not working, so they
were down at the next one. So if it made
an announcement, I didn't hear it because I was too
close to the actual.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
Did they not send you a text? They all text you.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
That's what I wanted.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
They see your nice, nice ticket.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I had a very nice ticket.
Speaker 9 (08:06):
I always got I get to I know.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
That's that was what Kelly and I were talking about
last night. Why didn't they text that everybody? They changed
the gate and then goes, well, we changed that on
the big board.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
So I have to get up and walk halfway down
the airport to find the big board.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I think being last on the plane is a gift.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
It is a gift. It really is.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
No, you love sitting there while everybody else boards. No,
it was, but everybody else can't see him. It was
a nice ticket seat.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
It was a nice, nice ticket. So we got a
free drink.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
No, no, no, it was.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
It was one of those choose your own seat seats,
so I got I got wedged between two people and
then my car a nice ticket at all.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
My carrion had to be sent to the back of
the plane so when it landed, I had to seat.
Oh my goodness, it was nice. There were nice peo
In any event, it was that's that airport. What are
they ever going to finish it? If you if you've
ever been to the Denver Airport when you look at
s A, it's like looking at a photograph of Ellis Island,
but there are more people there.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Yep.
Speaker 11 (09:04):
Yeah, no.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
And also, I mean they really lean in.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
There's a lot of conspiracy theories with that airport about that.
There's like this underground kind of thing going on. They
lean into it. They're like literally underground. Yeah, there's there's
all kinds of conspiracy theories about the d i A there.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
There has been for a while.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
You know.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
They got Lucifer the that Bronco, that Bleue Bronco out
front with the red eyes and fell on the guy
that that sculpted it and killed him, and so that's
like that's that's uh, you know a lot of the
stories around there. But yeah, they lean into it. They're like,
sorry for the delay on construction. We've been trying to
we've been dealing with aliens. Like they have signs that
(09:41):
I really lean in, lean into it.
Speaker 8 (09:43):
But yeah, interesting, interesting, But yeah, it's a great, great
place to love. My pilots, lovely, everyone working on the airlines.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
They're great.
Speaker 9 (09:50):
Glad you didn't miss your flight.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
It was they shut the door to the jetway.
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Oh usually they won't reopen it.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Not not not the plane, the the end of the
jetway where it ends in the airport. Yes, And I
said they didn't change the location on the board where
I was sitting because I had gotten there two hours early.
So I've learned a lesson, which is every ten minutes,
walk up there and say is this still the gate?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Oh no, that's not the lessons. Check your text. I
did not get a text.
Speaker 8 (10:20):
I'll show you my phone, no text.
Speaker 7 (10:23):
Because is it possible, I'm I'm really trying to make
some progress with you today.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Is it possible that any of this was your fault?
Speaker 8 (10:32):
No, I've got I had a hard ticket and it
says the gate right there and they gate forty.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
They there's no way they could have made an announcement
and you missed it.
Speaker 9 (10:43):
What gate did it go out of?
Speaker 11 (10:45):
Like?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Why did you have a hard ticket?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Wait?
Speaker 9 (10:47):
Forty? And you what gate did it go out of?
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Fifty fifty one? So I got some extra steps in? Yeah,
you did fast running.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
It was close anyway, he has a hard ticket because he's.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
No, because I was checking a bag. I mean, you
check a bag. I guess they automatically gave me a ticket. Oh,
I don't know, but that phone thing is that scares me?
I like having your ticket where you put your ticket
on the phone.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
That's a tough sentence.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
In twenty twenty five, that phone thing really scarce. Yeah,
I hate to break.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
It to you, but there's no there's no wire. Yeah,
you still always get a hard ticket.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I did in this I didn't, not always, but I
did in this case. And it was a well that phone.
Speaker 10 (11:30):
Thing really scares me. Could have been a quote from
nineteen oh seven. Yeah, yeah, and he goes, if you
heard about debit card? Are you kidding me? My bank's
on a car.
Speaker 9 (11:41):
Hey, it could be on your phone.
Speaker 8 (11:42):
No, but Kelly had what is it called? She had
texted me the ticket the day before. I looked at
it and that's great. And when I got to the
airport it wouldn't open up. Oh, so I had to
do some homework. I called and I said, hey, can
you resend me the ticket? It won't open up up?
And she said what.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Oh I'm sure she was.
Speaker 7 (12:03):
At any point during that conversation, did you hear like
a mute button go on?
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Or on her own?
Speaker 8 (12:10):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I like a herd ticket.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
I want to be able to I want to be
able to prove I deserve to be on this plane.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Oh they know, probably.
Speaker 8 (12:18):
Yeah, and they're doing an ad campaign at Southwest assigned seats. Right,
do people like assigned seats?
Speaker 11 (12:24):
No?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
They I think people like the way Southwest does it?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I do?
Speaker 9 (12:28):
Yeah, great, unless you miss your A group.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I'm sorry. I like the way first class works, is
why I like it.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Yeah, if you can afford that.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
I don't have first class. Well here's my thing with Southwest.
I like the open seating once I'm on the plane.
I hate the preboarding process where everybody's not showing their
cards and kind of you.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
I've got to go. I gotta go shake people down
to see if they're really a thirty one. You should
have your phone out. I can't.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
This guy yesterday would not move. He had candy crush out.
I mean, and man in his fifties just going for
a high score. We're all trying to he would not
just share your position because I'm somebody. You know, you'll
hear somebody go it doesn't matter, We're all going to
the same place.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
And I go, you're a psychopath.
Speaker 11 (13:12):
Man.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
You don't feel that way when you're in middle seat
and row forty two.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
I'll go, No, we're all headed to our land. Done. Yeah,
I want everybody in the right position.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
Yes, yeah, yeah, you paid extra for that. You want it?
Speaker 10 (13:27):
Yeah, I give you a cards you have to tape
to your forete I feel that way, I really do.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
One time, me and my wife we were flying out
a separate gate, same airport in Pensacola. I was flying United,
she was flying Southwest. She's very she's very introverted, young lady.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
I saw her just getting pushed to the back, to
the back. I went over there, I took her ticket,
and I went through the line. I went, hey, are
you oh a thirty head on back?
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Big dog. I took Alyssa all the way to the
front of the line.
Speaker 6 (13:54):
Everybody was looking at me like he's a psycho. But
Alissa was standing exactly where she should because they were
bullying her. I mean, they were pushing her back, but
because she's not going to fight her way and force
her phone in their face. So I mean I had
to go over there, and it was it was awkward.
I'm not going to lie, but she was good.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
You know.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I'm just that type of guy.
Speaker 8 (14:15):
I've actually seen them do a thing where someone comes
up and they go to scan the ticket.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
No, no, no, no, you're not in the.
Speaker 9 (14:21):
Agrop Yes, I've seen that.
