Speaker 2:This is cabin pressure yep, cabin pressure.
Speaker 1:We're back here once again big week big day. There's a lot of shit going on today, sean oh my gosh, there's so much to talk about I was loving today yeah well, I know we don't want to get political and stuff, but it's just a great, we gotta talk about this a little bit, though.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry we do right, it was inauguration day inauguration day today.
Speaker 1:I mean, I was, I was like fixated to the television this morning, just like I couldn't, couldn't stop watching because I was excited and then it wasn't. You know, like you know, you know, depending on where, where you are in life, as far as your political views and stuff. Yeah, but today for America was just an amazing day. I mean, it's so exciting to get a whole change in there.
Speaker 2:There was a lot of things that happened even in the whole inauguration. That was actually pretty cool, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:There's a lot of cool stuff in there, and I mean there were some times where I was starting to get choked up a little bit.
Speaker 2:I can't tell you Whenever the choir came in and they started singing. Man, that was beautiful.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean just like there was beautiful moments and the pomp and circumstances of the whole celebration. Like you know, it's cool. I mean you're sitting there observing this whole history being made. It's just you know it's chilling for Americans.
Speaker 2:But you know, when you're actually watching on TV, though, and you know it's switching powers right from Democrat, republican powers, but when you're looking at both groups sitting there, and then one group telling the other group like you suck.
Speaker 1:That was like the summation of the speech. Yes, well.
Speaker 2:I'm not getting political, but I'm just saying it's kind of. It doesn't matter which power would have switched over, but when you're looking at this inauguration, you've got both. You've got the Republican side, you've got the Democrat side, and one side wins, one loses. That's the way it is. We're a democracy in the United States, but they're sitting there and you know on one they're going. I don't like you, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's comical, I mean you're just like. It doesn't matter. Either you're upset about it or you're happy.
Speaker 2:Did he just say that in front of?
Speaker 1:me Exactly. He just said I sucked. Did he just say that, yeah, put that whole conversation like, put that in a like a bar scene. You, you know, like there's going to be some fighting going on. There's going to be a lot of fighting going on, like people are going to be fists and cuffs are going to be flying.
Speaker 2:You know, when I was watching it, that's what made me laugh the most, because I'm looking at this, I'm like these guys. I mean, they're part of our government, but you know they don't like each other. Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 1:They don't. This is why you or I cannot be a politician.
Speaker 2:Nope, Nope, there's no way. But hey, you know something? There were some really really cool things that happened during the inauguration. One of them, Carrie Underwood.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Carrie Underwood, I mean the technical glitch that happened.
Speaker 2:That person needs a new job. Sean Get out of it.
Speaker 1:I think the news were saying somebody's going to get a discount on that part of the denomination. That tech will get it. But hey, she stepped up and she was like, hey, you know the words, acapella, boom.
Speaker 2:Listen, man, you can sing. When you can sing acapella, yeah. And then you had the choir jumped in, dude first of all, carrie Underwood unbelievable.
Speaker 1:I mean it doesn't matter what she sings or what she does. I mean, for as far as I'm concerned, the finest talent ever to come out of America, and you knew it was coming.
Speaker 2:You knew it was coming Because you knew that that technical glitch was going to keep going on. And she was like I got it Right and she took that moment straight. Acapella she goes. You know the song, sing along.
Speaker 1:She's American man, she could step up whenever 100% pride, man.
Speaker 2:You know, as an American, when someone does that in a situation like that and they take advantage of that and with their talent, it incredible man. You, just you, you feel that?
Speaker 1:give that chill chill man speaking about chills. What about the reverend lorenzo swell?
Speaker 2:man. That was un-freaking-believable. Martin luther king day, which is an amazing day, and then he goes on and what. What I loved about this, what I absolutely loved about this, was this guy had his eyes closed the entire time. He wasn't reading this, sean. I mean, he was preaching it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's preaching it, man. I mean it's spontaneous. The whole prayer is supposed to be spontaneous. You know you can throw in these different points and actions to your prayer, but you need to be spontaneous. It's because of the feeling, the emotions that are coming over you, the glory God's given you at that time. You know to you know, spread your message and your news. I mean, this man was like I just felt sorry for the guy that was following him.
Speaker 2:Okay, we're going to come back to that one. But okay, we're going to come back to that one. But you know, with his whole approach towards this, though, it was absolutely freaking amazing. I mean, the way he was covering Martin Luther King's dream speech. Most of the kids don't understand that, but if you heard parts of what he was talking about, it was Martin Luther King's dream.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was quoting his speech, his famous speech. I have a Dream. Yeah, I mean there was moments in there that you're just like this is apropos, perfect for the day. I mean, it was just over the top.
Speaker 2:What side, it doesn't make a difference. At that point, when you're listening to something like that, you have to believe in what this guy is talking about, and you're right. After that, he had this huge, huge energy.
Speaker 1:The room was pumped up, he had everybody clapping and everything. And then the next guy steps up and he's like let us pray.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let us pray. I'm like that poor guy.
Speaker 1:How do you follow that? See, he would have been more appropriate if he would have stepped up and said and I have to follow that, oh yeah, like the whole room would have lost it.
Speaker 2:Are you kidding me, man who put this together, that I'm behind this guy? I mean, that was unfreaking, believable. But hey, it was announced that January 20th is now Liberation Day Liberation.
Speaker 1:Day, liberation Day and you know I mean this is a new day in the world. I mean there's a big agenda to be had and he's got a big agenda that he's put out in front of him right now. That you know it's a lot. I mean, just think of that. I'm getting exhausted just thinking about all the stuff that he's trying to do in four years.
Speaker 2:You know something that exhausted just thinking about all the stuff that he's trying to do in four years. You know something. That's okay. I'm looking forward to it. Though, right, I'm looking forward to a change. I'm looking forward to the way people look at us in the United States our military, there's a lot of things. I'm looking forward to a change, but I am looking forward to that change. But hey, listen, we had another huge thing that happened and it was right before the inauguration the day before. What's that?
Speaker 1:tick tock, oh, tick tock, the meltdown tick tock coming down. Man, yeah, I mean, you know, like I was thinking about this whole thing, like there's all these millions of like youth out there that like is, you know, just tick tock every day. They're always doing that. They're little tick tock things making their tick tock videos and they're just like you know we're going to be crushed and all this stuff. It's just like it, was it?
Speaker 1:It to me, it was like, okay, first of all one, uh, I'm, I'm the person that I like I took a tick tock off my phone six months ago, right, and the whole first thing when, when, uh, trump came out and like put tip talk into the, you know, forefront of the news and all that stuff, I was the first one that I was like you know what he's got a point. And you know, there's so many times I mean, I don't know if you've ever had this happen, but there's so many times like these companies, tech companies, come back and like I've gotten those letters at home. Have you ever gotten these letters where you're like, oh, we've, we had a security breach and your personal information has been put out there, and you know, have you ever gotten one of those?
Speaker 2:Unfortunately, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I mean to take that aspect of this whole problem and then to put it in and say, ok, well, now one of our adversaries, china, is got my personal information or whatever's on TikTok. I don't know if there's much of anything on there, because I don't participate in putting you know videos and stuff out there, but you know.
Speaker 2:I just didn't like the whole idea. You know how they have access through your phone. I mean everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, our phones are everything to us, but it's also could be everything against us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it's unnerving for for me, for any of the like tech stuff. Like, as much as I love tech stuff, I hate that we don't have enough, uh, oversight in our tech industries because it moves so fast that we don't have the ability right now to catch up to it. Really, I mean we're, we're, we're, we're playing in the rears right now, like trying to make rules on things that already have happened. I mean the, you know, the besos, the zuckerbergs, the musks, all these guys, they, they, all, you know they're way ahead of the game, you know but this meltdown.
Speaker 2:this meltdown was, I mean, did you read any of the the social media stuff with these kids?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:A lot of these kids were completely flipping, melting down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of the quotes here. It says here this gal, erica Thompson on TikTok says educational content on the platform would be the biggest loss for the community. I mean, when I heard this, I'm like wait the fucking minute. Are you like? This is their their new sources? Is the uh, you know, bbc, this is the, uh, new York, you know? Like, are you kidding me? This is where you're getting your new source. This is going to be hurt the community. No, it's going to help the community If you if you're using this as a new source, right?
Speaker 2:Well, it's going to force a lot of kids get out and get a damn job right, I mean, I get it, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2:Social influencing I understand that You're making a lot of money doing that. Good for you, more power to you, but what happens? That was a perfect example. What happens when it all goes away and all of a sudden, these kids, they want to get involved in government. How can government shut down this? How can government do this? Now, you had nothing to do with government 24 hours ago, but after this 24-hour period, you have everything to do with government.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what You're telling everybody, what they should and they shouldn't do. But 24 hours prior you were out there dancing and doing some TikTok video.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, you know what? Listen, to be honest, this TikTok is only one platform. There's lots of different platforms out there that these you know influencers are making money off of. So I mean, TikTok is just one revenue stream. If they're a real influencer, they're on multi-platforms, they're on Instagram, they're on YouTube, they're across the board. So this is, yes, this is shutting, shutting down a chunk of their income, but, um, you know, they'll still be able to dance and act too stupid but you know, with within hours, you know it was back up yeah you know why right well, the people that have the app.
Speaker 2:It's back, it's back on for them to use it, but for anybody that wants it.
Speaker 1:There's nobody out there here in the United States that can download the app.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't download, but there's still 170 million that have it Right. So I mean it was back up for them and that was because Trump got it to come back up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean he got it back up because of the young influencers were. You know, that was a lot of votes for him, right, a ton of votes, right. But here's my point, here's my thing, that I have a big problem with this whole thing. One, you know there's still the influence of China there. I mean I don't care if there's younger boats or not young boats. The security of our nation to me is like of the utmost importance. So I mean to have a, to have a platform out there, put you could put it back up, okay, but our national security comes way. Before a vote yeah, I mean, that's all that's how I feel Like it's like you have to. Uh, yeah, we, you know there's money, there's everything's driven by money, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Prove that it's it's a secure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Prove that it's current and make it. Make it secure so that everybody it over 50% owned in the United States.
Speaker 2:Right, right right.
Speaker 1:We want to be the controller so we can basically control the algorithm. I mean, that's the whole point of this, because right now China's got control of the algorithm and they're feeding off of that algorithm and if anybody out there understands algorithms, you can do some pretty malicious stuff with algorithms. So yeah, that's my whole point. Whether it's up or not, and these kids, they don't think beyond their dancing, you know, like their income and their dancing, yeah, but you know something?
Speaker 2:I'll bet you any amount of money. A lot of these kids were freaking out, though, because this was their income. I mean, some of them were making a lot of money at this and this was their income. I mean, some of them were making a lot of money at this and this was their income, and if their income was completely taken away, you have to go get a job. No, seriously, right, I mean you've got to go get a job.
Speaker 1:But again back to what I was saying, that if you're a true influencer, this is only one platform.
Speaker 2:I understand that You're still moving. You just keep rolling, exactly, but TikTok is one of the main platforms.
Speaker 1:TikTok's paying a lot of money. They're paying one of the bigger abundance of money. But I'm telling you, there's people that are strictly YouTube. There's people that are strictly Instagram. You don't have to be on TikTok to be an influencer.
Speaker 2:Well, there must have been a lot, because they were having a shit fit on the on the internet about, about losing.
Speaker 1:TikTok, I think it was more of the users more than it was the influencers. To me, like, there's a lot of influencers out there that were complaining about the loss of income, but if you really look at it, I'd love to hear the percentage of, like how many people out there, out of all the millions of people that use TikTok, are actually making money. Like, what's the percentage of people that are really monetizing that platform?
Speaker 2:You know what didn't happen. What's that Flight attendant didn't get fired within those few hours.
Speaker 1:He got that right.
Speaker 2:It was a keep stupid flight attendants from twerking on video.
Speaker 1:Get out of your damn uniform before you start twerking it probably helped a lot of stupid people out there putting stupid videos on TikTok.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no firing of flight attendants in those few hours. Now it can't tell you now, but but uh, you know, not in those few hours, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's just like that whole stupidity out there, people, the people that do all these stupid stuff. You know, social media is just kind of a wild animal, like, yes, there's this positives, like people can make money and make a living off of it, but at the same time it can be really dangerous to like. Remember, like the uh, all the different challenges out there where the people, kids, were doing like the cinnamon challenge? Do you remember that?
Speaker 2:I remember some of the channel. I don't remember cinnamon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so the cinnamon challenge was actually like killing people, like you take a teaspoon, tablespoon or cinnamon and you try to swallow this right. I mean, there was like all these different challenges that were actually hurting people, like I can't remember all the ones out there, but there have been several that have been extremely dangerous, but it's like you know. So one end yes, these people making, monetize and make money and all this stuff. And then there's this other end of, just like you know, safety and stupidity got cut off.
Speaker 2:You know, I just did see a video, just what you're talking about with this. This guy was drinking Everclear yeah, great. And this lady was kind of narrating it and she was sitting there going hey, listen, by the way, let's, let's see how stupid you really are. And he goes well, I'm going to go ahead and drink this. And she goes yeah, yeah, you are a smarty. Well, do you know that? That is pure alcohol. That is going to burn your insides. It's going to burn all the way in. It's going to burn all the way out.
Speaker 1:These people. I'm telling you, that's the, that's the beauty of like. It's funny to see some of these stupid stuff out there, but at the same time, like um, it also helps to stop stupidity.
Speaker 2:Like you know, you know the um, the, the YouTube videos, and all that convinced me is if I ever decide to do something at home and I'm thinking that it could possibly be a video that I'm going to end up on YouTube I don't do it.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Cause I don't get, no, cause I don't get up on I don't get up on real tall ladders anymore, because you know you're like a helicopter right away, right? I mean, as you get older you just don't do this.
Speaker 1:It does teach you from other people's mistakes, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you see those stupid videos. I mean it does. I mean it teaches you what not to do, right, or if, if you end up doing it, you're going to be a dumb video.
Speaker 1:Dude, I just, I, I just can't these people are. There's so much stupidity in the world.
Speaker 2:But TikTok, that meltdown I mean that was kind of. That was kind of funny in a way, because I was watching all this conversation that was going on and all these kids that were getting involved in government stuff and they, like I said, 24 hours prior to that they had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm still interested in the story. We'll be talking about it in the future. Like TikTok is, this story is not going away because Trump wants one 90 day reprieve or whatever to like figure this stuff out. But at the same time the TikTok owners like we're good, we don't need it, and so you know they're not. There's lots of people out there wanting to buy it too. There's a whole lineup of people. So, um, yeah, I mean it's, it's interesting story. We'll keep talking about it.
Speaker 2:You know, one thing that he actually was talking about in the inauguration that I thought was kind of interesting was the Panama Canal.
Speaker 1:Oh, the Panama Canal dude. Yeah, hey, that first of all. The first time he mentioned that, like it totally pissed me off. First of all, you've laid over in Panama.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've laid over in Panama.
Speaker 1:Yeah, laying over in Panama. Yeah, I'm laying over in Panama. I mean, for those of you that have never laid over in Panama, Panama is not one of the nicest places in the world. It's an interesting location to go to and see, but there's some bad riffraffy stuff going on in.
Speaker 2:Panama. We go there because we work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we have to work, we work and that's like one of the places you go out there you better definitely have your head on the swivel and know what you're doing and stay in packs or stay in a hotel, yeah, but then there's just like so much stuff going on down there because it's such a poor country and just the riffraff and stuff that goes down there. And then there's the people that travel down there that are trying to take advantage of the bullshit that's happening down there, like the sex industry and all kinds of stuff, Like I've heard, like pilots, flight attendants, you know, getting into all kinds of crap down there and the canal I mean us, you know there should be no reason why Panama is allowing China to come in and operate to Panama Panama canal.
Speaker 2:So let's give a little history behind the canal First of all, for for a lot of people, because some people know the canal but they don't know a little bit of the history behind it Right yeah, 1914. It was opened, right Right. It connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, and what it did is it reduced maritime travel between the two oceans.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it kept the ships before that had to go down around the horn of South America, which is another, you know, week journey. You know, yeah, that's a long way.
Speaker 2:It's like 50 miles long.
Speaker 1:The canal yeah, it's like 50 miles long. It sounded like you were saying going around South America.
Speaker 2:But you know you think about that when they made that 50 miles that's a lot, I mean that's a lot to make a canal.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I mean, it took years and years and years to do it.
Speaker 2:And they use this lock system Right, which is pretty cool. If you've ever been even down to Lake Okeechobee, you're going to like that. You were talking earlier about that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we have lock systems all over the United States. I mean through the Great Lakes. We use lock systems with our freighters and stuff we still have. You know, in history of the world and stuff we've used dock systems for trading, for using that through the river systems and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so when these ships come in, they allow more water to come in. The ships rise up, it's able to actually go through the canal and then, as they pass through the canal, then the water exits as they're leaving through the canal.
Speaker 1:Right. Well, the water actually elevates to whatever the level of the water that it's joining. So if they're going up, you know the water's filling up into that when they put it in that canal channel Right, and then it raises the boat, or if they're going down, it lowers the boat, you know. So they're either letting water in or letting water out.
Speaker 2:It is. It's really a unique system, but in 2016, they did actually do a third set of locks, yeah, and it was completed to allow larger ships to come through, because they have, I mean, that's a, it's a key. It's a key element in maritime travel.
Speaker 1:Well, you know that goes right back to the airline stuff. You know like we built shit for planes that were smaller than planes are today. So we have airports still in the United States Cleveland that can't really accommodate all these larger planes. I mean the facilities are too small, the pasture level is too big. And the Panama mean the facilities are too small, the pasture level is too big. And the Panama canal is the same type of thing. The ship started getting bigger. They couldn't accommodate the ships going through. We needed our warships First of all. Us Navy goes back and forth through the Panama canal all the time, so you know those that had to be accommodated.
Speaker 2:So yeah, but it says it, it it does take like eight to 10 hours to go through the canal.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean you imagine you got to fill up those, those freaking channels, and lower and raise.
Speaker 2:And that's a lot, though when you think about it, I mean for a ship, I mean there's ships that are actually waiting to get in it. It it makes up about 6% of the global trade market, but there's ships waiting to get in. Can you imagine what the backup is?
Speaker 1:You said eight hours, right, Eight to 10. Oh, you know what the backup is. I mean, when we fly into, when you fly into Panama and you're like circling into the airport, you can see hundreds and hundreds of ships just all waiting out in the ocean there, Like it's. It's amazing. It's like they're all just waiting their turn to go through the canal but as opposed to you know that week extra week journey to go around South America, right, yeah, so but let's talk about okay.
Speaker 2:Well, there is a challenge. They said there's a water shortage.
Speaker 1:A water shortage for For the canal, for the canal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they said it's a water shortage. That's when they run into problems, because when there's a water shortage, they said that they run into problems with that.
Speaker 1:Interesting right? Yeah, I know, I thought it was like a pump system that comes from either side of the oceans.
Speaker 2:As you said, a lock system is it raises. I mean once it opens up, it fills in and then, and it goes, they go out the other side.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:But I mean they said that that that is. That's one of the problems is is with the water shortage. But going back to what we were talking about with with president Trump, now he says he's taking it back.
Speaker 1:We will see. I'm I'm, I'm very happy about it, but we will see. That's a. You know, I was thinking about that when he was talking about the whole. You know, we're going to make stop wars and we're going to get out of wars and all that stuff. And then right after that he was like we're taking back to canal canal.
Speaker 2:Well, it's because it was being run by China. It was supposed panama right, I want to.
Speaker 1:I mean totally developing story.
Speaker 2:We'll definitely see what happened, what the heck happens yep, I like I said panama canal, very, very interesting little, uh little story there. So hey, listen, this week it is officially international sweatpants day sweatpants day.
Speaker 1:you know this is at the front fun part where I think of the weekly we're going to add into the show here. There's a fun fact site that we found that has all these like fun facts about some. You know what's going on and so weekly we're going to give you some of the better things that are happening today and one of them is sweatpants.
Speaker 2:You like that? I transitioned to that one. Yeah, sweatpants day.
Speaker 1:But you know, uh, it's also. Uh, this week is national hug I ain't giving you a hug.
Speaker 2:Come on man.
Speaker 1:I ain't giving you a hug, man we're we're americans, we love it's like an air hug yeah, but uh yeah, here's some fun facts. In 1908 this is, this is just like a story to like tell you how far we've come in the world. I mean just people are like, oh, you know, this is my, not my free speech and all this stuff, but it like in 1908, new york city passed a law prohibiting women women to from smoking in public places could you even imagine?
Speaker 2:I mean, could you imagine that you can't imagine a woman smoking period well, like the generation today and everything they they're just like.
Speaker 1:It's so interesting to like, look at, like history, just like you know, I mean for black people, like women, there's all kinds of minority groups that have like gained, you know, rights, civil rights and stuff over the years and the change Like our forefathers made the constitution, but the constitution wasn't perfect because it had to have amendments, right, yeah, so we had amendments and we learned and lived and all that stuff. And it will continue to change, you know, to also get better. You know it's not perfect but it's a good start and it's been working for a long time.
Speaker 2:So now women can smoke in public.
Speaker 1:Well, now we got, we women got to smoke in public, and then we were like everybody was smoking and now we're not trying to get everybody to not smoke. Now, yeah, and then we're now, now creating laws where you can't not prohibit, yeah so you know. So let's think it's full reverse now, like you can't smoke in restaurants right in a lot of states well, you know, the funny thing about it is years ago they used to roll their cigarettes, right?
Speaker 2:But you know, in 1908, well, they're rolling them again today. That was not prohibited, now they're allowed.
Speaker 1:Right, and that's just the same as like. So now like how many states have marijuana legal? So now they're rolling their own again.
Speaker 2:You're back to rolling your own, back to 1908, when they were rolling theirs, exactly.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2:Anyway you had in 1964, the world's largest cheese was manufactured.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this cheese was weighed over 34,500 pounds. I mean that's 34 tons, 34 and a half tons.
Speaker 1:There's a bunch of mice just looking at that then this reminds me of like we just uh, went back to vegas the other night recently and we bought our, got our nieces to do a little shopping spree for christmas, because we always do this every year with them when we go to visit them in vegas and my niece there's a candy store going out of business and she bought one of those like gigantic, uh, gummy bears I'm talking about. Like the gummy bear was, like it was like a foot, foot and a half you mean the whole gummy bear like it was just one gummy bear.
Speaker 1:That was like it's like kind of like this cheese here. That was freaking crazy dude. She started biting into this thing and I'm like it was the grossest. It's all over your face, I mean this big jelly gummy bear in her face.
Speaker 2:Hey, you want a bite?
Speaker 1:yeah, I mean it was crazy and so like, uh, just like it was like probably been a week, week or two or something like that now and her mom said he's like this is the last bite she's getting, like that was like two days ago she was still eating on that stupid bear for like a week A piece of cheese, though Sean took 16,000 cows.
Speaker 2:16,000 cows.
Speaker 1:First of all, where do you make that Like? How do you make?
Speaker 2:Was it Wisconsin, the cheese heads? Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 1:They were making a piece of cheese.
Speaker 2:That everybody in the state can cut off a chunk just to make a hat. Hey, listen, this next one. You're going to love this one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh yeah, wait, all right, let me, let me. Let me go throw it in here. Uh, in 2018, everybody's gonna love this. There was a uh 12 camels found to have um botox in their lips and they were disqualified from a camel beauty contest.
Speaker 2:Those are some big ass lips.
Speaker 1:Every camel I've ever seen. I don't need. I don't even know why you would think that you need to put Botox in there.
Speaker 2:Imagine the picture of like all these Arabs around right. They're looking at them and they're sitting there going it's a camel beauty contest, first of all. Right, a camel beauty contest. And you're sitting there going uh, them lips aren't real.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and over in Saudi Arabia, this King had this camel beauty contest for how, how, how beautiful their lips and their humps are, and they were using Botox for it. I mean, come on.
Speaker 2:I've still got this picture in my head and these guys standing around looking at him going yeah, those aren't real.
Speaker 1:Well, after saying this story, and like reading about the story, I kept I was thinking about, you know, like these women that go and do this, and now I'm going to be looking at them like they're camels.
Speaker 2:You're killing me, man. I did like this, though. I mean that was pretty funny. I mean, there's camels with the big lips. So we're killing them. I mean the scambles with the big lips.
Speaker 1:So we're killing. I mean they're putting Botox in their humps and their lumps and their lips Like come on.
Speaker 2:All right, let's. Let's get to the airline portion of this side, and this this was. This was actually pretty funny, but they had a humanoid robot girlfriend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this company built a humanoid robot. That, um, that. Of course some somebody out there threw a meme on this thing, but when you get into it and actually look into it, they said it was like, uh, it's supposed to be the future flight attendants out there, but uh, I knew we're gonna get replaced.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're gonna replace this with humanoid robots, but when you get into this whole story it's like it's. It's a real. Botics is the company that actually developed this robot. It's real, it has a I and like she could talk to you, have a conversation, all this stuff and it's supposed to be like. It's built for intimacy and the first thing, the first thing I thought about intimacy is the first thing you're thinking about, too, as you're listening to this is like this is a sex robot.
Speaker 2:You know how many guys would sit there and look at this and say, okay, the price tag is like $175,000. And he's weighing out right now. He's like, okay, I'm dating, uh, food, Uh that's a cheap girlfriend.
Speaker 1:man, that's a cheap girlfriend.
Speaker 2:They're going wait a minute. I come home, the house is clean. Nobody's yelling at me, and um, she ain't talking back, she's just doing what I want and all she got. And she goes over and she sits down, plugs herself in. We're gonna pay for this one, sean.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, hey, this is.
Speaker 2:We're not making this shit up no, we're not making, we're just, we're just talking about it yeah, it's funny like the.
Speaker 1:So the they. They quoted here. The robot was a from this. Real robotics is called the Advanced Body Mobility Robot, which affords a wide range of motion and more human-like physical gestures.
Speaker 2:Well, it was actually this huge silicone company, right? Yeah, Did you go? You read a little bit farther back in it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is like a sex toy company. You knew this was coming back in it. Yeah, this is like a sex toy. You knew this was coming.
Speaker 2:You knew it was coming. I mean, they tried to hide it, but you can't hide it because you got history behind yourself. No way you can hide this. But this was from the adult porn industry.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I watched it.
Speaker 2:There's a video We'll throw up on the video on Facebook. So you got a robotic flight attendant that came from the porn industry. Well, of course, wonder what they're doing on a layover, Sean.
Speaker 1:First of all, if you just cut out the robot part, you probably just nailed it as far as a and the bell goes dong. Yeah, you just nailed it, and that wasn't the sound effects or being nailing it, but it was a uh, uh. Yeah, you nailed it being a what a flight attendant is.
Speaker 2:You know, I, I was looking, I was looking at this, uh, this video, that about this, this robot, and there's so many questions, right, so many questions, right, so many questions, our future. We're not going to. I mean, we will see portions of it, but we won't see it.
Speaker 1:No man, but this is the future though. I mean we're going to see the beginning of it all.
Speaker 2:Well, think about it. I mean in this house, right, you've got a robotic vacuum sweeper, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, roblo, robotic uh, you got a robotic uh vacuum sweeper, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, roblox, yeah, roblox, he's working. You, you might not be with the damn vacuum sweepers working. Yeah, it's like this damn thing goes and parks itself too yeah, parks itself, cleans itself, it, vacuums it mops now you understand exactly what I just said about this robotic girlfriend.
Speaker 1:Yeah $175,000.
Speaker 2:The guy's going to go. Man, that's a deal.
Speaker 1:And I'm going to tell you right now when you see this video, you go check it out on our Facebook page, but when you see this video, you know it was made by a male.
Speaker 2:And you know they're going to ask a whole bunch of other questions. We're not going to get into that, but they're going to ask a bunch of questions. You know this shit's coming. I don't care. You know it's coming, man. They're going to ask those questions.
Speaker 1:Let me finish what I'm saying. And then this thing was built by a male because they had a tiny little ways, big old boobs and big old booty. You're going to get us in trouble.
Speaker 2:You're so going to get us in trouble.
Speaker 1:All right, but anyways, man, and heads up for everybody out there too, coming down the line here May 7th of this year, all these things that we've been doing out and going down, you know, to travel and stuff they're going to start doing the real ID is going to be mandatory so May 7th, just as a heads up for everybody. So, and what we say about real ID is that you're going to have to get a state qualified ID. Either you have a driver's license that has a TSA you know, I can travel in the United States or you have some type of identification you can get from your state too. But at that point that's when they're dropped in the gauntlet. But your passport's still good too. Yeah, the passport's good. That's a real ID, right. But you know these driver's licenses that don't have that. You can go to the DMV right now and you can ask for one that doesn't have that travel aspect to it For that person that's not going to travel anywhere. What do they need it for? Right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you knew this was coming, though I mean they had started and then they stopped it. Remember that, COVID.
Speaker 1:But we really hadn't heard when the date was, when it was going to actually happen.
Speaker 2:But May 7th is the date.
Speaker 1:You're going to have to have that real id. All right, man, let's talk about the destination. No, no, no, no, you're skipping over a couple of things here. Um so one, there was a uh couple of incursions that happened here. One did you hear about that?
Speaker 2:uh, 737 max that collided with a coyote well, if I did, I wouldn't have jumped over it. So no, yeah, tell me about the coyote that had a really bad day they were.
Speaker 1:they were taken off out of chicago and and this plane hit a coyote and it damaged the wheels and so they had to, they had to do a air return and come back into chicago and, like we're always, we were talking about air. You know, bird strikes and all this stuff. I mean this is a freaking coyote had hit, you know, running across it, like we always hear about deer and stuff here in Ohio, right, but I mean airplanes. They're hitting a lot of shit out there.
Speaker 2:You know, like I mean this stuff they're gonna eventually have some kind of system, though you know.
Speaker 1:I mean they're gonna have some kind of system for for airports well, you, you would think that there's some type of like uh, you know, anti and they do, I think. I think a lot of the airports and stuff, like police, the uh airport property, of course, you know, and go around and try to. That's why there's fences all around the parapeties, but these animals, they jump them and get under them and all that stuff.
Speaker 1:So, guys, getting, getting well, well, yeah, yeah, that's, maybe they might be coming in with the coyotes, you don't know. You know, but uh, another thing that happened, that happened actually today. So my wife just called me this afternoon and she was like, she's flying down to Florida and uh, she got down there and she's like, uh, she's like we got it. We're delayed like an hour because because, um, one of the de-icers hit one of the airlines.
Speaker 2:really, I mean that that's not shocking, though seriously, that's not shocking because these guys, these guys are actually they're.
Speaker 1:They're driving the trucks from the booms yeah, I mean it's not surprising, it is, it's amazing. But like, when you have these incursions and the cursions happen all over the airport I mean whether it be with animal, with an aircraft, to aircraft, aircraft to freaking ground equipment, things like that it slows down everything, it stops the process big time. And so she's a little delayed today because she was upset. She was like, yeah, we got delayed, couldn't get out of here because the ICER and PAD, they had to come out do their little investigation and all that stuff and take pictures and blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2:But yeah, okay. One more thing before we get to the destination too is I'm glad you kind of stopped me back.
Speaker 1:But Houston, I'll always do that yeah.
Speaker 2:Reach over there and thump that, but down in Houston, Hobby and Bush are going to be closed on Tuesday. Arctic blast yeah man. You don't hear too many, to where they just completely shut everything down.
Speaker 1:The interesting thing, you only hear it when the South can't deal with cold. Nope, I mean, they just don't have the—.
Speaker 2:No, de-icing, no, nothing.
Speaker 1:They don't have the equipment to deal with it, they're not used to deal with it, they don't know, they're not used to dealing with it. So when it does come through those little like minor times, it just shuts it down. Yeah, like cause I mean ice on runways and ice on the but then it backs everything up. Yeah, I mean, but they're they're talking about closing those airports, like it is literally closed, it's going to be closed on Tuesday.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's crazy Both of them. So I mean basically you blanket every airline with that closure.
Speaker 1:It doesn't matter who it is. But you know, on top of that, like I was just reading some airline news, they were talking about creating this where the airlines, if it cancels for any reason they have to like, reimburse you.
Speaker 2:But you know, listen, I tell you, though, it's better that they do exactly what they did there, sean. They just close it down, because it all is going to do is be continuous delays all day long. People are going to be a mess, they're going to be backed up bags, everything else. This way, nobody comes to the airport, no crews come. You're basically set. I mean, right, you just shut it all down. I mean that's the best thing to do when, when the weather comes in like that, can't do anything about it. It's safety, safety first, always.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and the and the roadways down there. Anyways, you're not even talking about the freaking Southern crazy drivers trying to get there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Just all you got to do is take a look, take a look at the TV man. There'll be all over the place. All right Now now.
Speaker 1:Now let's get to the destination Finally. Yeah, yeah, chicago, chicago, man, I love Chicago. There is so much stuff to do in Chicago. I mean Chicago first of all. Did you know that that's where I was born? Nope, I always like to drop things that she does not know about me.
Speaker 2:It's like a mic drop. Do you know where I was born? Yeah, nope, chicago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was born in Cook County Hospital in Chicago and for those people in Chicago they know where it is and where it's at. But Cook, I mean Chicago has so much to offer.
Speaker 2:I mean I absolutely love and enjoy Is Cook County a nice neighborhood, not so, oh, that's where you're from. All right, just checking. You know Chicago's always in the news, sean.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a very famous hospital because there's a lot of gangsters and stuff. Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2:I didn't think you came from a really savory place, but go ahead hey.
Speaker 1:Anyways, yeah, going to Chicago. I mean there's just so much to do there, there's so many places to go and do you just? It's impossible If you go on a layover or you're stuck there in Chicago for any amount of time. I mean there's so many things to get out and do. If you stay in your room you should kick yourself, it's a cool city.
Speaker 2:It's a very cool city.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it's a cool city. I mean it doesn't take far to go and see a lot of stuff. I mean I'm going to name a bunch of of this big, gigantic, larger than life silver bean and, uh, it's a piece of art and everything that's a very famous piece are in millennial park. But, um, you know, they've got the chicago river there, they got the navy pier, they got, uh, regular fields chicago river is really cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean really cool if you've ever uh, I don't know, have you ever done the tour on the Chicago river?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that's what I said, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean the, the tour, if you, if you get a chance they always take, like you can take a boat trip that actually takes you down the river and they tell you about the history actually started selling real estate vertically. Did you know that?
Speaker 2:You're. You're teaching me a lot today, Sean. I'm always teaching you man.
Speaker 1:This is, this is the education process. He's like my educator.
Speaker 2:I'm so privileged to be sitting in front of him and he's from Chicago too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let me keep telling you about some other stuff.
Speaker 1:So Wrigley field is an awesome place to go Cubs and all that stuff. I'm not going to leave out Comiskey field, but uh, uh, you know the Sox stadium is too new. Wrigley has history. There's all this history to it, but, uh, check that out. Um, some of my favorite things to do in Chicago believe it or not, is because I like to learn stuff is all the museums that are there. They got the shed aquarium, they got the uh museum of science and industry, they got the art institute there. I mean the field museum. I mean, if you're into dinosaurs and bones, dude, I mean I think I'm pretty sure that's like one of the places, or no, that was in in uh, the field museum in uh in new york where they did jumanji I felt like that was a little dig, that you like do stuff, but go ahead hold on to that.
Speaker 1:So, uh, yeah. So they get the magnificent mile there, which is um a walk along the river, where you can just like walk.
Speaker 2:There's 460 shops in there but chicago is truly amazing city. It really is. There's just, there's just so many things to do.
Speaker 1:It doesn't matter what your interests are and stuff, you're gonna find people to connect with, things to do. Um, one of the things that I've always things to do it doesn't matter what your interests are and stuff, you're going to find people to connect with, things to do One of the things that I've always wanted to do in Chicago and I've tried it like twice and got rained out, believe it or not was do one of those Segways tours. Have you ever done those? No, yeah, I mean I haven't either, but I've tried to do it a couple of times on layovers and get rained out on them.
Speaker 2:One thing I can tell you about Chicago, though and have you ever been? When it's time to leave and everybody's leaving the city, it looks like the whole damn city evacuates. I'm not shitting you, I mean those people, because they go onto the train.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they jump onto the trains. The.
Speaker 2:L. It's not called the train.
Speaker 1:It's called the L oh whatever.
Speaker 2:You know they look like a bunch of ants going down into the hole. I mean it's crazy. It's like the whole city evacuates.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you know, chicago's a cool city. It just has so much cool history to it. But we got to get to the important stuff, and that's the food right.
Speaker 2:The artery-clogging big old deep-dish pizza. There ain't no way around it, man. That is the thing to eat.
Speaker 1:I mean, one of the most iconic foods of Chicago is going there to eat a dish, deep dish pizza. It's almost like the. It is the reason why they call it a pie, because it's almost like a, like a casserole.
Speaker 2:It's like a big old thing of goo though. Like two, three inches deep of like goo, Like it's like you're talking about that, that a gummy bear, a Chicago style piece. And don't get me wrong, it is absolutely delicious, but one piece will do you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, one piece. I mean, there's so much cheese and meat and everything sauce and all that stuff.
Speaker 1:It's unbelievable, but a lot of cool. Um famous places to eat there giordano's pizza, uno um geno's, all these different there's. There's a whole list of places that you can check out, but I will tell you that is the uh, one big iconic thing that you need to eat there. The other thing that you can eat, and you don't even have to leave the airport for this, nope, is a chicago style hot isn't it amazing how you sit there and just say a hot dog right.

Speaker 1:Yeah, when you say Chicago style, I mean there's a whole like it's kind of like for those on the West coast going to in and out and know about animalizing a burger or you go into like these different places where they have like this code language, a Chicago style hot dog is. Let me break this down to you. It's an all beef frankfurt plopped into a steamy poppy C button bun and it's, as they call it, dredged through the garden and they say it's a collection of a horde of uh, of yellow mustard, neon green relish, and when I say neon green, I mean like it doesn't look like it should be eaten. Um, it is super, super neon green choppedish. And when I say neon green, I mean like it doesn't look like it should be eaten. Um, it is super, super neon green chopped white onions, tomatoes, wedge, spicy sport pepper, dill, pickle spirit and you put the celery stalk all over the top of it.
Speaker 1:Man, it is a smorgasbord of everything, you can't pick it up and put it in your mouth. Nope, I mean, everything falls apart. But boy, you really try, don't you? But you try every time, every time You're like licking fingers.
Speaker 2:You're doing everything but Chicago man pizza and that hot dog unbelievable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, these are just two things that you're like you get in Chicago. You're going to be like you know what I did, chicago. But there was one last thing I should mention. It's the staple Chicago.
Speaker 2:Garrett's Popcorn. If you remember back then, I mean shit. It was at the very beginning. We talked about Garrett's Popcorn. You cannot go to Chicago without getting Garrett's Popcorn.
Speaker 1:Garrett's Popcorn. You got to find it, you got to get it. It is the cheesiest caramel popcorn you'll ever have and if you can get it fresh, hot, I mean wow, and it's sean likes the mix.
Speaker 2:I like the, uh, the crisp. The crisp with the crisp, it's not. There's no popcorn, there's none of the yellow in it. No yellow, no huh, your fingers get all stained and everything for the help. It is very good, I don't gonna be wrong. I like that too, but I like the crisp, better crisp. All right, man, hey, listen, give us the quote sean okay, so you know what today is.
Speaker 1:Today we're doing this recording. It's dr, it's martin luther king's uh, birthday today, um, it's the national holiday. So I had to do two quotes today. So the first one I want to give about martin luther king, and that is you must decide to speak for yourself. Nobody else can speak for you. So that's a quote from Dr Martin Luther King. But the other thing that goes on top of today that I thought was apropos for this energy and the excitement of the day is that every morning you have two choices you can continue to sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them.
Speaker 2:Well, I can tell you one thing we definitely speak for ourselves and we definitely chase whatever we want to do, and I believe in both of those, and those are very, very cool. Listen guys, it's been a great week. I had a great time talking today. God bless our country. God bless all of you guys. I hope that you guys have a great week and we will see you definitely next week here on Cabin Press yeah, next week here on Cabin Press, join us, man, we're going to try to keep this going.
Speaker 1:And a lot of things to talk about because there's a lot of changes happening we always have a lot of shit to talk about, sean, never, never, never.
