Turbulence and Taylor: A Journey of Concerts and Comedic Air Travel
Tell us what you think and what you would like to hear.
Ever tried navigating a Taylor Swift concert on crutches? We did, and trust us, it was as chaotic as it sounds but equally unforgettable. With unisex bathrooms and the frenzy of exchanging friendship bracelets, we somehow managed to enjoy Taylor's epic three-and-a-half-hour performance amidst the mayhem. Hang tight as we wrap up with a sneak peek into some binge-worthy TV shows we can't wait to discuss in our next episode.
Ever wondered how a Key and Peele sketch about turbulence could perfectly sum up the madness of air travel? From kids on the loose to moving sidewalks blocked by oblivious travelers, we share our hilarious mishaps in the sky. Add in a less-than-thrilling Tyson fight, and you've got a recipe for some serious comedic relief. We bet you'll be nodding along with us as we rant about these shared travel pet peeves.
Strange things happen at 35,000 feet, and this time, it's all about airplane infestations and unexpected animal antics. Imagine finding snakes on the tarmac or hamsters in the cargo bay. We dive into these bizarre scenarios with a hearty laugh, before whisking you away to explore the charming streets of St. Augustine, Florida. If quirky travel tales and rich history tickle your fancy, this episode promises an entertaining escape packed with laughter and intrigue.

What Head lice on a plane? Mike Tyson and Jake Paul in a pillow fight. What do you do when over a hundred hamsters get loose on a plane? All this and more. Next is Cabin Pressure.
Speaker 2:Well, another week's gone by. You know something I got to tell you, though I am if I had feelings if I did have feelings I'd be hurt right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, why is that?
Speaker 2:You went to Tay-Tay and I don't see a friendship bracelet on my arm and I definitely didn't get a Tay-Tay. I'm a Swifty t-shirt.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, you ain't no Tay-Tay fan, first of all. First of all, let's just start here. Tay-tay was. I only went to Tay-Tay under duress. Come on, you ain't no Swifty. I'm no Swifty man. I went there. I got a freaking hurt knee. The last damn place I want to be in a Tay-Tay concert with about a bazillion million screaming girls. I mean you can't even imagine the atmosphere at this concert. I mean, let me tell you, taylor Swift is an amazing, amazing talent. I mean she has got wow. I mean she's done really well for herself and props out the concert unbelievable. She sang for three and a half hours. I've never been to a concert ever with any performer. Three and a half hours, and that was her.
Speaker 2:Now I'll have to admit that, because that was the first thing that I asked you did she actually sing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean she. It was unbelievable. I mean the level of professionalism and the concert, that the whole thing was amazing, but the atmosphere around there, dude. I had four little girls next to me in the aisle over that literally held the phone right in front of them, taking selfies of them just screaming. I'm talking, there wasn't a note carried anywhere, it was just them screaming for three and a half hours and they recorded it all. Like, like. Can you imagine these girls like later in life? I just want to see, like, how they feel about themselves being absolutely fools at this concert.
Speaker 2:But you know, I've got this picture in my head with you with a crutch and a Swifty T-shirt on.
Speaker 1:That's not how it was, or even how it happened. It was uh, uh. I mean, the concert is unbelievable. I went up to toronto to see the concert in toronto. Man, that city is amazing. I mean I want to spend a little bit more time in toronto, but uh, the concert just was. It's. It's. It's an experience if you had got the privilege to go see her. And I had seen Taylor Swift before, and this time I had to pay for the ticket, but last time I got it for free as a comp ticket in a loge, which was amazing. But she just does an unbelievable show. But the tape, the friendship bracelets and all that stuff I didn't even know anything about it.
Speaker 2:I bet Kelsey got a bracelet.
Speaker 1:I didn't get no damn bracelet, dude every everybody in the, when you walk in the door, the police, the people taking the ushers, the people at the freaking concession camp everybody had on friendship bracelets. I mean they were all exchanging. It was like half the whole entire thing was them swapping friendship bracelets. It was like half the whole entire thing was them swapping friendship bracelets. It was, it was. It was a wild experience, but everybody get along. And here's a. Here's another piece of the concert that I want to share with you.
Speaker 1:So, um, my, a little, uh, uh gimpy self was running around there with my crutch in my in my knee, trying to go up and down, and I'd they didn't. They had sold all the handicap area so I couldn't sit in the handicap area. They had sold it out to some little teeny teenagers that had excellent seats where my ass was sitting up in the freaking stadium in pain. But I get down these stairs during the concert and I'm walking down because I'm in pain and I've got to stretch my leg because this thing was a long concert.
Speaker 1:I walk into, I'm looking for the men's bathroom. I'm in the concourse, I'm looking all over the place and there's lines everywhere to the bathroom, right. Well, I'm looking at the bathrooms. I'm like, wait, wait, this is the men's bathroom and there's a line of women going into the men's bathroom. Every bathroom in the stadium had been taken over by females, so I had to go into the men's bathroom and stand at the freaking urinals as there's a line of women trying to get into the stalls, because there wasn't enough stalls in the freaking stadium.
Speaker 2:So it became unisex.
Speaker 1:It was a unisex bathroom instantaneously and my back. I was taking a piss in the urinal no matter what, but it was an experience.
Speaker 2:You truly are not a person that I would ever see going to a Tay-Tay concert. No dude, I just picture you actually getting drug in there.
Speaker 1:I got first class service just because of my knee and all that stuff. It was nice because I got to get this like go into a special handicap access and they wheeled me to my seat and all that stuff. It was awesome. But I mean, the overall experience was amazing. Um, it was probably the last place on earth I wanted to be at the time, but um, but uh, I struggled through it and, uh, my wife had a great time and she said I tried to make it a bad time, but uh, I tried to get through it. Man, it was painful.
Speaker 2:You know, last week when we were talking, you had said that you watch a lot of TV. And I was thinking last week. Well, you know, give everyone an example of something that you watch and something you'd recommend to watch.
Speaker 1:Oh man, the show that I'm watching. I watched it like we binge watched it. It's my wife and I has been trying to like that's all'll be able to do because we can't really go too far too well, she can definitely drag my ass to take that, but um cross what's that about?
Speaker 1:cross. So anybody that's out there, that's a james patterson fan, um, the reads books. He's, uh, alex cross. Is this, uh, detective in dc? And uh, this show is awesome, man, I mean, I'm telling you right now you will be. It's a. It's a detective, you know, thriller type of situation where he's trying to figure out. He's this psychological analysis detective that goes in and he can like chase after, like serial killers, stuff like that, and this first show is all about him searching in about this serial killer that's happening right now, at that present time, in DC. It's a really good show.
Speaker 2:So where do they watch it?
Speaker 1:Where? Yeah, yeah, it's on prime and I think this first season's like only eight episodes, but the next season's already getting finished here. I think it's coming out here in a few months.
Speaker 2:Well, normally we discuss Yellowstone, because I had watched it, but you didn't watch it, so we can't talk about it today?
Speaker 1:No, we can't talk about it because the wife she likes to binge it. She can't do one episode. You know some of those seasons and any of these shows like I hate watching it week to week. Yeah, are you a week to week watcher?
Speaker 2:You know I've got very little time, so yeah, I mean that's about the only show week to week that I'll watch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it has to be like. I mean, yellowstone was super, super good and week to week we were doing that too. But uh, this episode is like when it gets, when we get to a point where it's like, eh, this one got better though. Yeah, that's good. But uh, we like to have like one or two episodes, cause, uh, like my wife and I I don't know Shoot the SEAL team. Have you ever seen that?
Speaker 2:No, I heard about that, though I heard that was pretty good.
Speaker 1:Love SEAL team. It's a great, great show. I mean, if you're freaking into all that type of you know, military, what it's all about to be a SEAL and all that stuff and obviously this is Hollywood up, you know just good storylines, good, you know, want to make you feel good about our military and all that stuff Uh, highly recommend that show. But we used to watch that like binge, watch that like crazy. But one of the things was we we wanted more, because it always leave you on a cliffhanger and so one episode is just wasn't enough.
Speaker 2:So uh, so your, your recommendation was cross cross, so G man what's been going on with you?
Speaker 1:Uh, other than working man. So your recommendation was Cross Cross.
Speaker 2:So, g man, what's been going on with you Other than? Working man, if I could sum it up in just a little phrase turbulence sucks.
Speaker 1:Turbulence does suck. It really does. Turbulence is one of those things that like sneak up on your ass and just smacks you in the face sometimes.
Speaker 2:But this week it was actually two things. It was turbulence and crappy Wi-Fi.
Speaker 1:Crappy Wi-Fi. Why is it like these amenities on the planes now is like a almost like a freaking public right, you know like if they're not there, you know all hell breaks loose.
Speaker 2:It's like these people never survive without it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you never like I can't be disconnected.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't talk to my neighbor.
Speaker 1:The umbilical cord of being connected to the world.
Speaker 2:And that flight attendant, you're the one that's responsible for the shitty-ass Wi-Fi Right, and you didn't do it. And we tell them we make a PA, it's intermittent. Well, what does that mean? Intermittent, it's a definition. Go look at it. Intermittent means it's not working all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it's your fault G.
Speaker 2:It's always our fault, but you know, it just actually kills me.
Speaker 1:First thing is when you hit turbulence what happens? People get up, yeah, and then people get up and freaking. They don't understand like turbulence is like so fast. I mean it's the split second and I know you and I have been in some really bad shit.
Speaker 2:But you know what kills me? It reminds me you just said that Remember Key and Peele.
Speaker 1:Key and Peele, oh, yeah, what are you talking about? Which episode are you talking about? The turbulence one?
Speaker 2:Oh, the turbulence. That's right, you know when the person gets up and he goes. Well, you're supposed to be in your seat and he goes. Is it the law? Yeah, is it the law? He goes? Yeah, but you're supposed to be in your seat. But is it the law? And he goes? No, well, he buckles in and all of a sudden he looks at him, gives him this smirky look and all of a sudden, all hell breaks loose on the If you guys want to see something funny.
Speaker 2:see Turbulence with Key and Peele. Yeah, Turbulence, You'll bust out laughing.
Speaker 1:That is the classic, one of the classics.
Speaker 2:It is one of the funniest little clips in the disguise Turbulence. But you know it describes turbulence, but it is true though. As soon as Turbulence happens, people get up, start moving around and they're kids.
Speaker 1:They let their kids go to the safety of their children. Just drive me nuts Like that's my, that's one of my peeves on the plane, Like they're innocent. But you, you, you motherfuckers are not. Yeah, you want to see a little Johnny turning the Superman in about two seconds right, little Johnny flying around the cabin is not a sight that anybody wants to see.
Speaker 2:He looked like that little baby from the Adams family flying through the air Right. Yeah, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:You got to. I mean, just like, don't let your kids go to the freaking bathroom during turbulence. And and the other thing is that, like, be attentive, Like you, if you're responsible for other people's lives on board the plane, like we are, be attentive to them. You know, like, pay attention to what's happening. You know, if the seatbelt or we're making announcements saying hey, we have turbulence coming up or we're anticipating bumps ahead of time, you know, ask your kids do you need to go to bathroom now? You know, like, do the normal, responsible thing, Just like if you were on the ground, like if you were getting ready to go on travel in the car go to the bathroom before you get in the car, type of thing. You know.
Speaker 2:But here's a little FYI though going into a lavatory and you're sitting in a lab, you think I'm safe. No, you became a nail in a nail gun. As soon as you hit turbulence, your head's going to hit that ceiling. Your body won't cannot contort. You're going to hit the ceiling straight with your head, Cause you know, when we drop, we just drop.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And you're going to go straight up. There's no seatbelts, there's no way attaching yourself to anything. You're going to hit your head straight on that seat.
Speaker 1:The only good thing about the whole situation is that in today's modern aircraft we don't have pools of shit in the toilet that splash around and fly around with you. Now it's in a vacuum system, so it's definitely not going to come out of the toilet unless you put it in the toilet.
Speaker 2:Sean you're in there, you're going to shit yourself. It don't matter. It does not matter, man, Let me tell you, if you're in that lavatory during bad turbulence, you're definitely going to crap yourself anyway. It really won't matter. We've seen that already Now. Hey, oh my God, that is such a true statement when it comes to turbulence. But got've got to tell you something that was driving me crazy. The other day we were going to the other terminal and this is one of my quick rants, I've got to discuss this a little bit People that stand on moving sidewalks.
Speaker 1:Come on, get out of the damn way. People do not want to get out of the way For some reason. Get on like a people movers which is trying to move people faster expressway yeah, it's in the expressway and you stop and right in the freaking middle and block a little johnny, little johnny, sisters over there, right, you see them, I mean you.
Speaker 2:You can see them a mile away and you're like, seriously, they, they know this thing's moving, they, they just stop the whole traffic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so annoying Like just stand to the right, like just stand out of the way, stand left or right, one side or the other, just to get the hell out of the way, but why would you stand anyway?
Speaker 2:It's a moving sidewalk, it's an expressway.
Speaker 1:Well, as you know, there are people in other situations, like myself right now with my knee and can't travel that fast, so I'd get people have different things happen. We might not understand why they're standing. You got a wheelchair, sean, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but Get your ass off the sidewalk, man. Get your ass, get your little gimpy ass off the sidewalk, get in a wheelchair and we don't have to talk about this.
Speaker 1:I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt, whatever reason they have to stop. But them the benefit of the doubt, whatever reason they have to stop, but at the same time be courteous, you can stop and get out of the way too at the same time.
Speaker 2:Right, oh hell, no, they need to move out of the way. It's a moving sidewalk. There's a reason why it said that. A moving sidewalk, that means move. That does not mean stand, it means move yeah.
Speaker 1:I wish I could just like walk through the whole thing and just like plow people, just hit them like a freaking linebacker coming down.
Speaker 2:Right in uniform. That'd be real good, right? Yeah, that'd be your next YouTube video. But hey, listen, got to talk about something too. Did you watch that Tyson fight?
Speaker 1:Yeah man, what a scam.
Speaker 2:That was a joke.
Speaker 1:It's a total joke, man. I mean, out of all the fights that I've seen in my lifetime your lifetime, dude I mean that was a setup. I mean you felt like. I felt like, man, everybody just got scammed out of hundreds and thousands and millions of dollars watching this stupid fight. Because I mean it was, it wasn't even a fight.
Speaker 2:Tyson connected on 18 punches, sean 18. He connected more punches at five years old with the neighborhood kid than he did with Jake Paul in that fight.
Speaker 1:Dude, I've seen pillow fights that were more exciting than that band fight.
Speaker 2:He looked like. He looked like a bad sparring partner.
Speaker 1:It was bad. It was bad, it was just. It was very like um set up. You know, like each, like each, each one of the uh rounds that you went in he just kind of like was there for show and name. And the culmination to the whole thing that made like kind of cherry on top for me was when, uh, uh, jake paul at the at the end, bows to him like what the fuck was that? That's the reason, really.
Speaker 2:I want to talk about it. It wasn't so much as like the fight per se, but this whole thing with Jake Paul, because you know what it reminds me of. Did you ever see that movie Elvis with that Austin Butler?
Speaker 1:I like him, but you ever see that movie? Oh yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 2:Tom Hanks in that movie plays Colonel Parker. Yeah Right, and his name is aka Snowman. Right, that's Jake Paul. Yeah Right, there, snowman. He's become the snowman of the YouTube industry and making millions of dollars off of people for these bull crap fights and this stuff that he's promoting and everybody bought into this, tyson fight.
Speaker 1:Well, tyson's got to take his credit on it too. He's snowman too. I mean, he's literally. I mean, come on, the guy's 58 years old Dude. I'm not getting in the ring, I'm 59. I'm not getting in the ring. I don't care about what condition I am, and he was not in any condition to be out there. I mean, did you see him, his body? I kept looking at him like what the like? What are you doing out there, dude?
Speaker 2:Listen, with your gimpy-ass knee. If they were offering me and you $10 million, we're strapping them up right now, going fighting either one of them for 10 million.
Speaker 1:Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2:You'd go out there with that Cause you know you can get the other one fixed as soon as you get done, right, right, I'm going 10 million bucks. You're going out there. I mean, that was a big snowman situation, man, that was just. That was just absolutely ludicrous. And and that Jake Paul character a character, that's exactly what he's been doing.
Speaker 1:He's the new snowman, actually the real snowman. You want to see a good fight, and that wasn't a fight, that was just them giving him a mediocre show for a lot of money.
Speaker 2:I want to see him fight a 28-year-old contender in the ring and see him get his ass handed to him and stop all this foolishness and quit sitting there and making this guy millions of dollars for, for, for being basically a snowman.
Speaker 1:Yeah, terrible man, terrible terrible.
Speaker 2:But uh, okay, the other thing I want to talk about. Did you see this woman on the plane with head lice?
Speaker 1:No, dude, what the hell Wait, she was on the plane with head lice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she made a. She actually made a video on this.
Speaker 1:Oh, I can't like. Was it an educational video?
Speaker 2:No, she's making this funny TikTok video talking about she has head lice. Now she she claims that she didn't really realize it until she got on the plane that she had had lice, but now she'd been scratching her head for like over three weeks Now. You didn't know for three weeks that you had a problem.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude, I'm going to tell you right now, like I'm going to tell you about experiences I had when I was a kid.
Speaker 1:So my mom's, as I was growing up, was a nurse and she worked in this emergency care unit and they had a homeless person come in that was like infested with lice, and she brought him home and like we I don't remember myself personally get having them, but you know it, they'll transfer to everywhere I mean anywhere you could think your head is going to touch and they don't even have to touch, like those little son of bitches will jump, like they'll jump up your head is going to touch.
Speaker 1:And then, when you have to touch, like those little son of bitches will jump, like they'll jump off your head, like go to wherever else in your pillows and your blankets and your everything. So I remember my mom bringing coming home and she found out and I've never, ever in my life had a cleaning of a house. It was unbelievable. I mean we were, you know, had those little combs that you clung to your hair to like try to get, you know, get them out of there, and all that stuff. We were checking our, your head. I mean it's almost like you just want to shave your head bald.
Speaker 2:But if you were okay for three weeks, if your head was itching, don't you think that you'd go get something checked out?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, go get it checked out. I mean, why are you scratching your head? Or you don't even have to get it checked out.
Speaker 2:Just have somebody in your family be like or a friend, whatever, like. Hey, I think something's wrong. But the first thing you do is grab your phone and make a stupid-ass TikTok video saying I got head lice on. So the next person that's actually in your seat, in that damn plastic bag that you got on your head, definitely is going to take care of the lice problem that now has infested that seat and God knows whatever else part of the plane that you just infested, you get head lice.
Speaker 1:the first thing you don't want to do is book public transportation.
Speaker 2:And then what do you do? But here's the follow-up part of it. She makes another video and goes hey, everybody, I just want to let you know. Yeah, I got head lice. It's on this napkin right here.
Speaker 1:It's nasty, nasty. Yeah, that's something it's making me. I don't know if anybody else is listening. Is their head, like you're having creepy crawlies right now. My head zitching.
Speaker 2:You know I do love a lot of the TikTok videos. They're funny, but that was gross, was absolutely nasty. Yeah, I mean that that that just took the cake, and I was looking at that as a flight attendant. When you, when you see that you're just thinking, wait a minute, yeah, that's on our plane, dude, you don't even know which plane it was now because you're sitting there going. Okay, what do you do? Because you got to go check this out good grief.
Speaker 1:That's bad, that's I mean. So this goes to a whole nother level. This is like getting crabs on the plane, or something.
Speaker 2:Well, it goes back to what we were talking about last week, about the stupid bed bugs we had to deal with.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man Transmitting bugs all over the place. The last thing you want to do is bring them to public areas.
Speaker 2:And then do us a favor even if you have them, don't make a dumbass video after that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because nobody wants to see that you brought your infestation onto our airplanes.
Speaker 1:Maybe part two is that she's going to make a crab video. Hey, I got crabs.
Speaker 2:Hey, you want to see where I got them.
Speaker 1:Yikes.
Speaker 2:Oh my God. Hey, listen, I just seen in the news too. Did you see that flight attendant got stabbed? What Another? Now you're talking about a shitty-ass layover Like a passenger stabbed her. No, another crew member on a layover. A crew member stabbed another crew member, Now me and you have had some great layovers right, but not one time have I ever thought about stabbing you, not one time have I thought about taking a knife out and stab. What am I going to do, sean? Well, I'm going to stab his ass.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's probably not the first thought of ever, anybody, but they did a layover.
Speaker 2:This person did a layover. They said the crew went out and then they came back and there was an argument yeah, okay, even if you have an argument, if it's a male-female situation, she don't want to come in. Why are you going to stab her?
Speaker 1:Dude. People lose their minds. That is absolutely crazy, though, but this also sounds like there's like drugs involved with it or something Like there's something else happening, like that just doesn't like you just stab somebody.
Speaker 2:No, you're crazy. Yeah, I mean, something's not right. You are not thinking right.
Speaker 1:Well, this brings me up a long, long ago memory that we have here with a local flight attendant that we know that killed her boyfriend. Oh Right, yeah, that was bad yeah.
Speaker 2:Stabbed him right in the chest, hit him straight between the vertebrae right into his heart?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but then they said they didn't mean to. Yeah, yeah, that was accident, that was heart. Yeah, but then they said they didn't mean to. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was accident, that was bad. Yeah, how do you not, how do you not mean to stab somebody?
Speaker 1:I have no idea, dude.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's like I mean the police come and then you're like, uh, what happened here? Um, I slipped and tripped and his knife went into his chest. That ain't good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, dude, I mean first of all like to have the reaction of like the frustration level gets us so high and I'm so angry that I'm going to stab somebody. That's not my like. Is that your first reaction? If you get pissed off at somebody and you're so mad at somebody, our first reaction is like we're going to punch him in the face, some of that right.
Speaker 2:Well, I didn't like you when we first started, but I don't want to stab him, wasn't the first thing I thought I was like, well, I don't want this guy on my plane, but damn, I don't even gotta stab him I did think about punching in the face a couple times too, but I didn't.
Speaker 1:I didn't want to stab you.
Speaker 2:Well, that's a good thing too, I guess, because I didn't feel like stabbing you either, right. But you know, when I was reading this, I was sitting there thinking to myself man, I've had some layovers, but seriously, okay, how did this guy get a knife? Did he just grab the steak knife off of the tray in the hallway?
Speaker 1:Right, it was in his meal bag or her, but I don't even know if it was a guy or girl. Whatever, I'm not trying to, but it was, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:I mean, that was absolutely crazy and that just happened. I was just reading that and I was like man, that is like really, really bad Flight attendant.
Speaker 1:It's one thing that we got to deal with pastors, but now we got to do a crew to crew, crew to crew confrontation.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we've had those, but you know, but not one time have I thought about taking a butter knife to somebody. Yeah, I mean, we go to our separate areas of the plane. It's like, hey, we don't like each other, gabe, that's fine. You go to your front or the back, you pick. There's two sides.
Speaker 1:Right right.
Speaker 2:But to actually go stab somebody, man, I hope that person's okay, but man just stab somebody on a layover.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want to see the whole follow-up to that. What happened? How did that start? Who lost their job? Somebody is going to be fired right?
Speaker 2:Well, one of them is in jail, so I can imagine that person is the one basically going to lose their job.
Speaker 1:I guess it's the felon right. The felon's not going to have the job. The other one's probably going to keep their job if they survive Grief.
Speaker 2:All right, that's the thing I was going to talk about. Did you see this picture? It was pretty funny. They talked about what happens when live animals are carried as cargo.
Speaker 1:Live animals carried as cargo is a scary event for some people, right.
Speaker 2:Shit dude. I seen this picture and it was so funny. We'll have to find it again. You'll have to post it. But they were coming off the cargo belt and the box broke open. Guess what came out A shitload of snakes, snakes, they were all. And the box broke open. Guess what came out? Shitload of snakes, snakes, they were all over the freaking tarmac. Wait a minute.
Speaker 1:Snakes everywhere, snakes on a plane, and we already went through this.
Speaker 2:They were off the plane, but they were all over the tarmac. Now could you imagine being them ramp guys.
Speaker 1:Round up the snakes. Well, the picture.
Speaker 2:There wasn't one ramp guy around that damn picture.
Speaker 1:Not one like round up the snake. Well the picture, there wasn't one ramp guy around that damn picture. Not one of them going shit, I'm gonna go grab that thing and go put them on your junior guys going in. There's definitely going to be some seniority issues at that point, like people are gonna be like uh, yeah, uh, junior guy new guy.
Speaker 2:You're over here. I was looking at that. Who you calling for that? There ain't nobody gonna go grab them. Damn. You don't even know if they're poisonous.
Speaker 1:You need to be calling animal control or something like that. First of all, you probably don't even know what type of snakes they are. Are they freaking venomous? Exactly.
Speaker 2:A lot of times we don't even know what we're carrying down there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's definitely not. I've never seen that in a CBT Like what. Recognize what type of venomous snakes are on plane?
Speaker 2:Man, we years ago we were in Manila and we were coming down that. We were coming down the jetway and you know those little drain holes they have in the jetway, it's like the little tracks where the water goes down. Well, we're walking down there and all of a sudden this little rat comes right out of that underneath that hole, runs up the track, runs down the track, goes down the other hole. All I could think about was that damn door was open. Oh, dude, what if something got inside that airplane? It's happened. It's happened Now. I'm going to go to that Now. They just had this other airplane that they were carrying a whole bunch of hamsters, oh, and they got leaves 130 of them Could you imagine, holy shit.
Speaker 2:Okay, but here's the best part. Could you imagine being this ramper? You're opening up the door right, pressurization and everything, and you go inside there and there's like 130 hamsters that are cut loose in this cargo bay.
Speaker 1:Dude, dude, dude, dude. There's so many questions going through my head, like for one one, why were 130 hamsters going to a destination anywhere? Like, why do you need 130? Well, you know, is this like a mass, like a pet smarts, uh, you know, distribution the box of uh hamsters to go everywhere? But but two. Another one is that these hamsters like, were these really from a private, like a professional company, or are these private?
Speaker 2:Was this just a private. See, you have those questions. I'm sitting here thinking could you imagine? Could you imagine being in the airplane and all of a sudden you're in flight and see a shitload of hamsters just taking off through the cabin. There are people jumping off their seats.
Speaker 1:You know what would be really wild? They're all guinea pigs. You know how they make those like, and they're just like everywhere.
Speaker 2:Hamsters are quiet, at least Exactly, but what happens on those planes is they get grounded. That plane is parked, you're going to be off. The answers are quiet, at least Exactly, but what happens on those planes is they get grounded.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, that plane is parked. You're going to be off. I was just surfing the web the other day and saw you were talking about the tamster. This dude had this video and he's showing lights up in the ceiling and as you're looking at the video you're like what is he doing? He's like all he's doing is like oh hell, no, oh hell, no. And every time he like all of a sudden there's this like little shadow comes out and it's a shadow of a squirrel, like a squirrel was in the ceiling and you can see the shadow of him coming out back and forth and in this light. And he's like oh hell, no, hell, no, no, no no, the things are part of the rat family anyway.
Speaker 2:Yeah, man, big old fluffy tail rats.
Speaker 1:And you know, like certain varmint freaking, they like to chew on and eat on anything, right.
Speaker 2:Well, that's the reason why they ground those airplanes, because when they had 130, they actually had to account for the 130 hamsters. They had to find them. Even if they were going to be dead, they had to find them.
Speaker 1:Not to mention, they had to find them Even if they were going to be dead.
Speaker 2:they had to find them, Not to mention they had to inspect every wire bundle. Everything they have to pull the walls out of that thing.
Speaker 1:They have to make sure that those hamsters weren't up in the walls. That plane's not moving for a few weeks for sure, because it's got to be torn apart just to make sure someone you don't want that one little bite of that wire disconnects while you're in flight somewhere right.
Speaker 2:You mean a little flickering of a light.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something like that A little electrical disconnection.
Speaker 2:I think seeing like 30 of them run through the cabin would be more bothering than seeing a light flick.
Speaker 1:I'd like to see that video, the video of, like all the pastors on a plane.
Speaker 2:How'd your flight go Well? I brought home a pet Damn. How'd your flight go well? I brought home a pet damn. I was. I was looking at that and I was like, oh, I could not even imagine just being on the airplane, being like a night flight or something, and all of a sudden you got this infestation I will tell you that.
Speaker 1:I will admit that this, this happened so many years ago and we grounded a plane over this. We were on a red eye flight and we're um sitting there and it's getting dark it wasn't quite dark and as we're pulling the cart up the thing we're pulling the cart up and down the aisle all of a sudden, five rows this little mouse goes running down the center aisle of the plane and darts in underneath these other passenger seats. We're like it was one of those things, almost like a UFO, like did we really see what we saw?
Speaker 2:Do you know what I'm looking for at that point? What's that? A cat, A cat? Hey, does anybody have a cat Right At this point? You can let him out of the bag.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let him go.
Speaker 2:Let him go, but yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I was like man, if we tell the captain man we might have to divert or something, now wouldn't it be funny watching that cat man.
Speaker 2:He would be like in seventh heaven be like I got a shitload of them.
Speaker 1:That all depends on the personality of the cat. You know those damn things.
Speaker 2:That's true. You're looking at the thing like I ain't chasing that, yeah.
Speaker 1:You can get the laid back cat and be like what up, but you know, leave me alone, man, I'm having a good flight here. Then the other crowd is like hyper, ready to go. Where's he at? Where's he at? Where'd he go? Tell me, show me All right brother.
Speaker 2:Hey, listen, let's talk about the destination this week, All right man.
Speaker 1:The destination this week? St Augustine, florida. What about St Augustine?
Speaker 2:St Augustine. I love about that little place is it's like going back in time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, from what I hear, I've never been to St Augustine, but everything I've heard about it is like amazing, especially historically.
Speaker 2:Oh, it has so many really cool little buildings and stuff like that. They it was, I think it was like 15, I think it's well. It is the oldest city in America.
Speaker 1:Oh, really, yeah, oh, this is a piece of knowledge I did not know. But yeah, st Augustine is like a cool little historical place. Lots of you know architecture and stuff to look at and old I guess one of the oldest masonry forts are there and what else is on there. They got the St George Street. That's a pedestrian-only street that's right in the heart of the city. There it has all kinds of restaurants and historic sites to see and stuff. Everything here about it is like a cool little destination to like chill out and see part of Americana.
Speaker 2:They have this wall. That actually is really cool. It's a, it's concrete, but it's built out of concrete and oyster shells. Concrete and oyster shells yeah, it's actually. I mean it's. It's like I mean you can't even imagine how many oyster shells this thing is crazy. Wow it, but it's really cool. But it has so many little places. It's all kind of a Spanish style, but so many different places to see, so many places to stop and eat in. Then they have a trolley that goes through the whole place too.
Speaker 1:Oh, cool, Cool. It looks like it's like a little quaint, like historical town that you can like fun to walk around. Look at the sights, all that good stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they had that. Did you see the Alcazar Hotel that was changed into a museum?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, the eclectic collection of artwork and all that stuff and the antiques 19th century stuff, all in the hotel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they also had that lighthouse museum too, Maritime Museum. Yeah, yeah, I mean lots of sights to see in St Augustine, the great thing about that area, though, is that you really don't need to take that trolley. You actually would enjoy more walking around that area, because there's so many little shops and little things to see that it's one of those places that you could definitely spend a few days in St Augustine just seeing all those little shops. They got some really cool things down in St Augustine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if they got all those shops, they got to have a lot of good places to eat, right.
Speaker 2:They do. But you know, one of the other things they have too is the Fountain of Youth.
Speaker 1:The Fountain of Youth, yep, or a supposedly Fountain of Youth.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe you should have went down there and drank some water before you had that knee operation. But yeah, they had this Fountain of Youth down there. No-transcript.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait, you really want to go there.
Speaker 2:Hey brother, I'm still moving man. You can't say that about me yet.
Speaker 1:I'm going to ship your ass down there to get me some of that water. Bring it back. I'll take it right now. It'll help me recoup on this knee.
Speaker 2:But they have actually these cups there. You can actually drink from the fountain of youth. Who would have ever thought that?
Speaker 1:That's wild. Hey, let me talk about one more thing before we get out of here. I just got a brand new piece of luggage.
Speaker 2:I hope it's not a damn to me.
Speaker 1:No, dude, it's not to me. I mean, it is a brand new travel pro. I got a travel pro pilot bag and the one thing about this bag is like it's totally. You know those old um I don't know what company it is that does those we used to call them the 747 bag. They had the metal sides to them. You know, you could just beat them all the you see, it's like the pilots the pilots all have those metal side bags.
Speaker 1:They now have a travel pro that has the same type of concept, but it all has plastic edges to it and then on top of it, on the sides of the bag, has like expandable compartments in it. Um, they come in two different models one one because this is all geared up, because for some reason in this industry they don't like to talk about flight attendants. I don't know why it's not a flight attendant bag, but it has to be a pilot bag.
Speaker 1:But anyways, we're not important, yeah, I guess, I guess we're not that important, but, um, uh, the the two different models. One model explicitly states that this model goes into the cockpit of a 737, so they have, like, I guess, limited room in that cockpit to where they put their bags. But this other one, the one that I got, has these expandable compartments on the side. It is awesome. Not only does it expand, like to the side, it also expands, you know, you can make it that bag that we hate when people put too much shit in it.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that expando bag yeah, yeah, so you can make it like that, but, um, it is a wonderfully mastered full bag and, um, one of the things I wanted to say is that, uh, we're gonna put a link here on our podcast to uh bag, so if you're interested in looking at that bag, check it out through our link.
Speaker 2:Now do you know what I really love about Travel Pro? What's that? They're light. Yeah, it's one thing I can't stand about a piece of luggage is when it's empty and it's heavy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean this one is actually kind of heavy because of that reinforcement now, and when I say heavy it's 10 pounds, so the bag's 10 pounds and a normal bag would be somewhere around like 5, 6. So it's got reinforcement, but dude all the miles and the beating that we put on our bags and stuff. My last Travel Pro.
Speaker 2:That's one thing I love about Travel Pro man. They do last a long time. I love that. But I also love, like I said, they weren't real heavy bags, and I like that because the current bag we have, that damn thing is heavy.
Speaker 1:Well, they're designed by you know you could see that they're designed with crew member input because they fit our lifestyle, right yeah.
Speaker 2:All right Travel pro. I definitely, uh, I'll definitely look at that because I love travel pro. Yep, all right man. Hey, it's been. It's been a great week talking. Uh had a great time today. Um, I hope you guys uh, have a great week and uh, and we're going to end with uh, this quote you don't always need to have a plan, but sometimes you just need to breathe trust.
