Cabin Pressure with Shawn and "G"
Is Air Travel Really Getting Worse, or Is It Just the News?

The sensationalism of airline incidents has reached fever pitch in recent media coverage, prompting us to offer a reality check from our perspective as working flight crew. With 45,000 flights taking off daily worldwide, we explain why the occasional mishap shouldn't overshadow aviation's remarkable safety record. From go-arounds (rejected landings) to ground equipment incidents, many procedures that appear alarming to passengers are actually standard safety protocols working exactly as designed.
We dive into the world of disruptive passenger behavior – from the infamous Louis Vuitton bag standoff to people vaping mid-flight and even stripping to try to deplane. While these stories make headlines, they represent a tiny fraction of travelers, with the vast majority being respectful and pleasant. Those few who do cause problems often face serious consequences, including removal from flights, legal charges, and potential placement on no-fly lists across multiple carriers.
Between airline stories, we recount a hilarious adventure as two crew members braved Seattle's steep hills, public transportation, and a $9 scooter ride – only to balk at the $23 Space Needle entry fee. Their journey showcased the less glamorous side of layovers, complete with colorful local characters and transportation mishaps.
The episode wraps with nostalgic reflections on technology evolution – from cassette tapes to CDs to streaming – and a travel guide to San Antonio, highlighting the beautiful Riverwalk, historical Market Square, and the surprisingly small Alamo. Through it all, we emphasize our closing quote: when life gives you reasons to break down, remember you have a million reasons to stay strong and keep smiling.

It's hard and it doesn't matter what anybody says to you, it's a difficult time and you know they're just not there and it's just a hard time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, you know I lost my father when I was 16. So, you know, being an adolescent at the time and, you know, just beginning to understand the world and life and all that stuff, you know it took me, like, I would say, a couple of years before I got over my father's death, you know. So you know it's totally understandable and normal for anybody to be like. You know, this, this is not just going to go away.
Speaker 1:You know it's going to, it's going to linger on and you know your feelings and thoughts and all that stuff are going to continue, no matter who you are. But it's natural.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the best part of it, though. You know, my mom is always with me. I mean she is, I mean you just believe. If you believe a certain way, they're always with you, they're around you somewhere.
Speaker 1:They're in a better place for sure?
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely a better place. All right, so what else has been going on? You know the weather is starting to change a little bit. Weather's been doing some psycho stuff here in Ohio. Little Punxsutawney Phil was right though, wasn't he?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like it got warm, it got cold.
Speaker 2:Just leave his ass alone.
Speaker 1:Quit pulling his ass out of that freaking hole. My lake in the backyard it freezes over unfreezes. You know like you know, crazy Ohio weather over unfreezes, you know, like you know, oh crazy ohio weather though. Man, yeah, ohio weather's been just nuts lately. I mean the wind last night. The wind in the house was just like ripping everything apart I, it was like our garbage day. So, um, the wife was like, hey, you got to put out garbage. She's always on my ass to get put out garbage, man is your wife the same way?
Speaker 2:um, hey, listen, I'm always. I'm always the one that pulls it down there.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, mine likes to remind me. Like you clean out the refrigerator, do this, do that. I know that's the same thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you got to clean all that shit out of there, right? Don't forget that. You take that down and then you take it down or you put it on the curb Next thing you know, oh, you forgot this, you forgot that can take that out too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I get, I get the reminder, can, continuous reminder, you know, but you know everybody that's married and in relationship, we all know you know.
Speaker 2:Going back to punk satani phil, it's so funny. Up here in ohio, even, uh, in pennsylvania, we wait for that damn day right. Oh yeah, stupid thing. Look for that thing to come up out of the ground that's funny.
Speaker 1:So you bring up hug satani. So my father-in-law just passed away. He was born that day. Really yeah. So him and one of our good friends that's been on the show, g Gary. He was born on February 2nd too, but I called my father-in-law this last February 2nd. I'm like you're the oldest damn groundhog that I know.
Speaker 2:We need to get G like a T-shirt right A Groundhog's Day T-shirt, That'd be perfect for him too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it'd be perfect. It'd be perfect, yeah, but he'd be like always staying in his hole all year round.
Speaker 2:He don't come out much, does he? Yeah, he ain't no punks atonic pill, that's damn sure. Hey, have you? You've seen a lot of this. Uh, all these incidents in the, in the airlines right going on. I mean passengers, planes, all that stuff.
Speaker 1:So much shit happening every in the whole airline. It's like it feels like it's under like this magnifying glass right now, like everything's happening with it. I mean it doesn't matter whether it's aircraft incidents, past your behavior, you know, crew, it's crazy. Everything out there is going.
Speaker 2:It's going nuts right now okay, now I got something on that because you know me, I'm on the planes every single day. I truthfully, folks, I want to tell you every single day because, when he's talking about the wind blowing, yeah, my ass was up in the plane yesterday and that freaking wind, he ain't shitting you. That wind was blowing. Yeah, we were all over the place and we were hitting all kinds of crazy turbulence. So, yeah, he was right about the weather there. But with the incidents with the airlines, let's talk about that for a minute. Sean, there's 45,000 flights a day. Right, 45,000 flights a day.
Speaker 1:Something's going to go wrong.
Speaker 2:All the time. You know what they're doing is that they're blowing this up in the media. You know that they are. I mean, you know they are. Let's just talk about a few things.
Speaker 1:Well, they're just sensationalizing anything they can find just to make it like news, right? So I mean you kind of like got to take everything with a grain of salt. There's people that are having bad days every day, every place, every industry, right?
Speaker 2:installed. There's people that are having bad days every day, every day, every place, every industry, right? Yeah, we talked about it on the last, uh, the other podcast about the, the incident with the airplane that that flipped up upside down. That was a miracle plane, right. But let me all this other stuff that's going on when they, when you see an incident and they sit there and it's like an aborted landing, rejected too close, whatever it is. How many times does that happen, sean?
Speaker 1:Dude, it happens all the time.
Speaker 2:We're in final approach, and then what happens?
Speaker 1:Yeah, we get rejected like a rejected landing. We go around all the time. I mean we don't have enough fingers and toes in our we're way past those.
Speaker 2:When they were doing this, I was watching in the news and the whole time these people were like oh, I don't want to fly, I don't want to fly. Quit doing this, because you're scaring people and this shit happens every single day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Some of these things that they sensationalize, kind of like go-arounds, it's like that's normal, like that's normal procedures in the airline business. There's so many reasons why a captain in charge of aircraft coming in for a landing is going to reject a takeoff. I mean reject a landing, yeah, I mean, if they even think it's going to be close, whatever it's their call, the pilot has total authority there. They can decide. Hey, I'm going around.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if the distance itself is too close right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, you know the plane's not configured right. The wind blew us off course, more than we thought, like there's all kinds of different variables that can happen. But I mean, if I'm with a captain that goes around, I'm like, yeah, that's an inconvenience to our schedule, right, that's. That's the biggest gripe there. The biggest gripe in everything is everybody's. Oh, you're gonna make me late, but I mean you. How many times have we heard that when we're like you know, 15, 20 minutes early?
Speaker 2:yeah, exactly. But you know, the funny thing too is like you'll see these incidents where, like, ground equipment hits a plane, yeah, and somebody goes how the hell did you, how'd you miss that right? And then you see a stupid video of a truck that goes underneath the bypass, that's stuck underneath bypass. Well, how in the hell did you not go underneath that bypass, right? Because they end up busting up a wing or they tear up a plane. Or you see some cart that you know that it just takes off and starts circling around. You see that video that one baggage cart just starts spinning around a circle. Nobody could get on that thing. You can't figure out what happened. But then it spins in and it hits an airplane yeah, I saw.
Speaker 1:I saw one like a tug. It was pushing a plane and it started spinning out of control and the tug like flipped underneath the wing, like between the wing and the engine like it was.
Speaker 2:Like that's crazy.
Speaker 1:I was like wow, you know, like all these type of incidents happening. I was on the aircraft one time where I was at the gate and it was windy out, I mean really windy out, and you know we're deplaning the aircraft and as the plane was getting lighter and lighter, people don't realize all these. You know, the freaking plane wants to fly. Yeah, it wants to put its nose into the wind and it wants to fly. So as soon as that wind kicks up like that, this plane we were deplaning, the actual tail of the plane, started spinning away. So the plane was at the gate. But now the plane was actually pushing away and actually spinning away from the chip bridge and uh, man, I literally grabbed a lady before she like walked right off the edge, off the door, like not even painted. She just turned the corner and started going. I like grabbed her, boom, and uh I I didn't realize what was going on at the time. I knew like we were moving away from the gate and there was a big gap and all that stuff.
Speaker 1:I didn't know if it was me moving or the jet bridge movement, you know. You just don't know which was going on, but uh yeah but the news just blows it out, though.
Speaker 2:right, I mean seriously, they just blow it out because they want to hype everything up. I mean, I remember years ago, you know the little wheel on the jetway that keeps it right on the plane. The auto level, the auto level, yeah, for the jetway.
Speaker 1:Sure To the door.
Speaker 2:We was on a plane and they didn't put the auto leveler on there. Oh geez, ripped the door right off, sean, yeah, ripped the door off. Yeah, that the door off. Yeah, I mean it folded up like a freaking accordion. Wow, I mean, it was millions of dollars worth of damage that was done just because of one wheel that wasn't on an aircraft. And these are incidents, but this happens. I mean, this is a business to where you know there's going to be incidents happen, but folks, trust me, still is the safest way to travel. Don't listen to these guys, man. I I drive into this airport every single day. I worry about deer on 71.
Speaker 1:I mean I got to tell you, like people don't realize, like there are, like I would say, on average about 30 people that are inspecting that plane every time it touches down lands, de-planes, re-planes, everybody like there's a whole team of people that are checking this thing. I mean Indianapolis doesn't have shit on us on the pit top. Oh yeah, we got so many people checking a plane. I mean, just imagine that, like your car, Every time you parked in your garage there's like 30 people checking every instrument and every freaking system on your car.
Speaker 2:You don't do that. But you got flight attendants, even like me, and you, you're checking stuff. I'm checking stuff, I mean, as even we're walking through, we're looking at wings. Yeah Right, I mean even as a crew member.
Speaker 1:There's so much redundancy in our safety system for flying. I mean, incidents are going to happen, right, but come on, you've got to look at how many don't happen, right. There's so much. It's like winning the lottery when things are happening.
Speaker 2:It's just like it's just irritating, though. When they start hyping it, I mean I'm like you guys are just hyping this up and I get it, but there's 45,000 flights a day. Man quit hyping it up when an incident happens like that. It was phenomenal, those people lived, it was great. I mean, it was just an incredible situation on that airplane, but now, rest assured, this crap happens every day. This other stuff that we talk about, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Passengers. I mean, we talk about this all the time. This week was just full of all kinds of crazy-ass people.
Speaker 1:Crazy-ass people everywhere. Man, you can't get away from this shit.
Speaker 2:No, every airline. I mean, they were covering every airline. They were just spanned over all the airlines. Florida couple they tried to push past the gate agent. They were denied boarding, going to Cancun, right. So let's just look at what this person does Instead of hey know, hey, I'm really sorry, could you put me on the next flight? I apologize, I won't do it again. Nope, I'm going to take my hot coffee. I'm gonna throw it on your ass. Oh, geez.
Speaker 1:Right, you know people are so stupid, stupid, Like I mean, what's that solving?
Speaker 2:coffee, right? Okay. So now at what point do you think you'll get on that airplane after you threw that coffee, right? So you throw the coffee on them and you know who's coming next? Yep, they're calling the police, right? So for this stupid, stupid response, you're going to get two counts of a battery charge, right, both of you are. You got one count of trespassing and one count of resisting arrest because you didn't want to go with the police officers either.
Speaker 1:You know what they were really doing? They were dousing their vacation, Putting their vacation out. The dude really probably didn't want to go. There's some ulterior motive. This is so stupid that you're like why would anybody do this?
Speaker 2:Okay, let's go back to what we were talking about with the media. So what we're talking about right now is passengers in the news, right so? Now they're blowing this up in the news too, because you got passengers incidents and they just love to hype that up. Right, right, so they have another passenger. She has a Louis Vuitton bag.
Speaker 1:Now, I know there's no way y'all didn't see this one dude first of all, when you say louis vuitton, it cracks me up because I was like I had a passenger once and then nowhere this is going. You know people are always like it's a louis vuitton, it's so expensive. But then you know how many times do we see like louis vuittons on the floor and you know they kick their bags on the floor Like it's so crazy. But I had this one pastor one time. She was like she had just gotten like her new coach purse and she was like I am not putting this bag on the floor, you know.
Speaker 2:I'll blame her.
Speaker 1:It's like I am not putting this $300 bag on the floor. I'm like my wallet was more expensive than that damn bag. It's so funny, like the value system on the clientele that are on aircrafts that are different value systems than we all have.
Speaker 2:When you watch this video that was going on between this passenger and this gate agent. There's no space on board the airplane, right. Where the hell are you putting your bag? You're not. You're going to check that shit. Nope, there's no policy, she said. For that, show me the policy. There ain't no damn policy, right.
Speaker 1:I love when people will ask me like where's the rule, Where's the stuff? Like as if we're supposed to just flip it out of our freaking pocket or something. Right, here's the rule.
Speaker 2:Here's where it's written yeah, show me where it's.
Speaker 1:Just because you don't want to put that louis vuitton down in there, I mean, okay, don't have a louis vuitton bag, then right, if you don't want to check that bag, don't have it yeah, if you don't want to like, uh, check the bag or you know, place it in the luggage overhead or place it on the floor or whatever you think that is going to damage your bag, keep that shit at home.
Speaker 2:How about getting an Amelia Earhart bag?
Speaker 1:What Amelia Earhart bag? What's that?
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, she's been lost for like what? 100?
Speaker 1:years. No, those bags that get checked turn into Amelia Earhart bags. Right, I just thought Amelia Earhart.
Speaker 2:That would be kind of funny getting a bag like that. What is that? That damn thing's been lost forever, so what difference does that make?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that agent or the fly agent, they're going to Millionaire Heart. That bag, that's what they're going to do?
Speaker 2:Those two were going back and forth, though, man, you guys want to see a funny video. That was actually pretty funny. Were going back and forth, and do you think she won?
Speaker 1:No, they're not going to win.
Speaker 2:No, no, no. You're never going to win that battle. Man, I don't care, a thousand times over, you're not going to win that battle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he removed her from the flight. She doesn't even understand the repercussions or what's going to happen. She's going to be listed as a non-flyer, competitive, all this stuff. A non-flyer, you know? Competitive, all this stuff like, just because she caused a stupid incident, just like it's just not worth it.
Speaker 2:It's a small percentage, though, right. Right, I mean it is a small percentage because we got great people. I mean I, I just got off a three-day trip and let me tell you, almost every flight I had some really cool people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, man, though that's the beauty of our job. We love people and we love to, like you know, talk to them and communicate, interact with them and all that stuff. I mean, that's the fun part of our job and that happens 99.9 of the time. You know, like not even one percent of the time do we have to deal with, you know, some type of craziness like this, but you, the news things makes it happen, you know, think that it's happening like every day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, every second they blow it out.
Speaker 1:Doesn't matter what flight you're on, something's going to happen.
Speaker 2:They blow it out of proportion, man, every single time. But I'll tell you what, man. We talk about this all the time Y'all got to quit. I mean, I understand you got gas, stop, stop it, man. About threw up the other night when I was coming in, you're talking about farting yeah, I mean it was just so bad, sean. I mean it was so bad, you know. I mean it really was. I mean like I was like about ready throw, it was like coming up into the galley yeah you know how could you do that, though?
Speaker 2:I mean you're sitting next to somebody. I mean that is, we talk about this all the time and I guess if your body releases it, you know like once, but it's like a free-for-all up there well, I mean technically speaking, we're all off gassing all the time, like your body always is like expelling gases, right, but I mean there are.
Speaker 1:I will give it you a uh like benefit of the doubt. Like there's a lot of people out there with you know the bowel problems and things like that that you know they just can't hold it, and it just happens. You know, like I, bowel problems and things like that that you know they just can't hold it, and it just happens. You know, like I got a buddy that we, we traveled, we literally did a car trip down to Florida, dude, I mean, half the way I had the windows open he had uh um, um, freaking, uh, whatever colon cancer, and he, he, just he couldn't hold it anymore.
Speaker 1:Like it would, just like it happened, and he just couldn't hold it anymore.
Speaker 2:It just happened.
Speaker 1:I was like dude, you got to stop eating, getting on some type of diet.
Speaker 2:It was terrible. It's horrible, man, I'm just telling you it's horrible. I mean, we talk about that all the time, but that is probably one of the nastiest things. If you can try to control it, try to control it, because that is just straight nasty.
Speaker 1:Altitude does some shit on your body, though. Oh, it did some shit on that person's body. That's right, that's for damn sure.
Speaker 2:But they had this other first-class passenger. Now this is a ding-dong right. This guy was vaping up in first class.
Speaker 1:Come on Vaping. First of all, he shouldn't even have had that on the plane, right? What would you?
Speaker 2:do I mean? You know? I mean, if this big cloud of smoke comes out of there, right, I mean, what would you, what was your reaction on?
Speaker 1:that I mean, my reaction always is to find out where it is, where it's come from, Right, and then then first I'm trying to identify it. Because, you know, first thing we're doing is we're we're sniffing, we're trying to figure out is this real smoke or not smoke? And all that stuff smoke on a plane. It shouldn't just happen to be there, period you don't want to see.
Speaker 2:It doesn't matter what it looks like, but you want to.
Speaker 1:You know we're trained to do. You know, identify what it is. But I mean, I've had people on the plane and the first thing I do is, you know I'm like, give it to me, give it me you know, like I'm either getting I mean, there's no choice. Like this, is you? They know they're not supposed to have it. Give it to me and uh, we're going to talk about this at the end of the flight.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know like I don't deal with that nonsense, but if he's not going to give it to me now, Okay.
Speaker 2:So this guy apparently didn't give it to anybody. He wouldn't stop vaping, so they had to make an emergency landing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that's when a skilled seasonal flight attendant is going to turn the rest of the cabin on that guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, but you're still.
Speaker 1:You're going to have to. I mean you might have some Still diverting.
Speaker 2:Diverting. Let me tell you something Diverting is a very expensive thing for you being a passenger. If they have to emergency divert because of you, oh yeah. I mean the fines that you're going to get, man.
Speaker 1:You're going to get a fine because, I mean, the cost of that, doing just a, just a sheer cost of that, is ridiculous. Not only are you not getting to your destination, your inconvenience and all the other passengers on the plane which you know how many times have we encountered the um, the bubble boy your girl. You know, this is their world and we're just living in it.
Speaker 2:All the time.
Speaker 1:You know, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2:Well, it's like this guy. I mean, when you're talking about this guy, this guy was the same thing. It's like he didn't care. You told him not to do it. They don't give a shit. We come across those all the time, right, we just tell them simply to put a tray and then they look at you like you're stupid. I don't understand that. Everybody else you got 99% of that cabin will do exactly because you're just telling them nice, can you put the tray table up, seat back up. And then you get to that one person all the time and it's like you ask them to give them their right arm.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Right. Or like I didn't do anything, Like why are you talking to me? Yeah, why are you?
Speaker 2:yelling at me. You got your headphones on. You can't hear a damn thing. Right, you're all the way across at the window seat, nobody can touch you. But then you touch you. You're like what the hell are you touching me for? Well, because you're not paying attention.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Right, I mean you're not paying attention because that's what they do. They don't pay attention and we're supposed to do what we need to do. They still don't pay attention.
Speaker 1:I've been on planes like I'm screaming at a person, sir, sir Ma'am, I want to say bitch, asshole. But you know it's like—. I've been with you too. Right, right, you're screaming at her and finally, you have to reach over and touch the person and like get their attention because we got a job to do right.
Speaker 2:We need to—you know something, we need to get one of those little extension sticks with like a hand on it, with a cattle prod maybe on it.
Speaker 1:No, like a little hand, right hand extension hand like an extent we would just like tap them on the shoulder right.
Speaker 2:That'll do. That'll work yeah so like did you touch me? No, I didn't touch you. I didn't touch the hand, did this. But hey, they had this woman. This was good, right. She wanted to get off the plane.
Speaker 1:They told her no, you know what?
Speaker 2:she did what's that? Got naked. Got naked, she started stripping.
Speaker 1:Well, that's either a good thing or a bad thing. I mean, either you're going to cause the plane to evacuate. The only way you're getting off this plane is you start taking your clothes off. I don't know how that action is going to make you get off the plane.
Speaker 2:Just recently she started stripping. They got her off the plane, though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it will get you off the plane. Somebody will be like you are butt-ass and freaking crazy.
Speaker 2:They pull back up, they take her off the plane. But the funny thing about it is, this is what kills me, and you know this happens sometimes too no charges, no charges. Not even in decent exposure. She must have been fine. All that incubation. How?
Speaker 1:did? I know that was coming, man, come on.
Speaker 2:How did?
Speaker 1:I know that was coming.
Speaker 2:There's something that somebody was like didn't stroke that keyboard for a reason. Decent exposure instead of not decent right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's decent exposure.
Speaker 2:All right, let's talk one more thing Norovirus.
Speaker 1:Norovirus.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was going on the cruise lines.
Speaker 1:Dude, there's so many bugs going around right now. I mean it's unbelievable. Everybody in my family and stuff was like sniffing and coughing and my nieces are getting sick and you know it. It's been going around everywhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you ever want to see bookings go down in cruise lines. Yeah, do I ever want I said if you ever want to see them go down in cruise lines, tell them that they had a norovirus on that cruise.
Speaker 1:Norovirus dude. Well, first of all, anytime you're in any type of isolated situation where you're on a ship or a plane or you know it's just like a train, it doesn't matter. You don't want to be confined with some type of virus, right?
Speaker 2:No, you don't want to be confined with gas either, but we are.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's going to happen.
Speaker 2:It's stinky as gas man.
Speaker 2:But you know we are. I mean we're right there and you know, but they we are. I mean we're right there and, and you know, now they're hacking all over the place. I mean the kids are sniffling. You gotta, you gotta watch all the time and we're constantly telling each other when we see someone that's sick, but yeah, norovirus on the cruise lines, man that right there, that will definitely dampen their uh, their little, uh, the amount of people that we put in bookings. Are you a cruiser? Yeah, I do like it. I mean we only did it a few times, but I like it yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I need to do it again. I went on one cruise and the experience was just semi-okay. I think it's just the way we did. It is more so because I'm looking at some of these different friends of ours and stuff and we've got a lot of people that we know that do cruises and stuff and uh, I just think that I think I need to just give it one more chance, but it's well, okay, now me and you know this number one thing if you do a cruise, it's the food man.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you, if you're going to go on that boat for seven days, make sure they got good freaking food.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the food was. I mean the food. I had no complaints about the food because the food was always available.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but good food not just available though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, no, it was good food. I didn't have any complaints about the food whatsoever, and I can have as much food as I wanted to, but it was more of just like the. I didn't like the. You know, a ship is like our aircraft times 25.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but there's a lot of things to do on that ship though, I know, but just like the getting on and getting off and all those like thousands of people getting on and off, I was just like that. It was terrible, terrible, but anyways, that was just my experience at one time, but we'll give it another shot one day.
Speaker 2:I bet, if you went with a group of people, that was fun. Yeah, because then you go on excursions and everything would be fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean we did it, listen. I mean we did our first cruise. It was like excursion city. We did all kinds of excursions. I did some scuba diving, we did all these boat things and snorkeling and you know, got off the ship and did the different destinations. The experience was okay. It was just I didn't like the on-off of the ship and it was constant on-off. That's how it kind of felt on this cruise.
Speaker 2:But you know, nor of ours is bad on cruise, though, because you know everybody's touching everything. Anybody is yeah, it's going to spread fast. Yeah, not good, but it was actually kind of spread around that boat, so they had it in the news there you go.
Speaker 1:It was funny that you brought up to you were talking about farting my nieces. I just wrote them this little story about, about, because they always call it tooting. So, I wrote them this little Story about trying to teach them that, you know, tooting is not cool, because they're always tooting, dude, they're constantly. We can go out to restaurants and these little girls be like. And they were like yep, that was me, you know like. They're like proud of it, bears make sure they ain't dating much when they get older.
Speaker 1:So I wrote them this story about these two princes fairy princes that lived in this land and all this stuff, and they had this tooting problem and what they had to do about it Root tooters Yep, they got a kick out of it.
Speaker 2:But anyways, hey, I had to tell you went on a three day trip. Yeah, right, was telling you what are you?
Speaker 1:doing these multiple days. Man, that thing was worth a lot. It was worth. You know if I'm worth. You know. You know if I am on a trip for three days.
Speaker 2:You're working. It's worth money.
Speaker 2:I getting on that plane. You ain't sightseeing most of the time. Nope, I'm basically I'm, I'm spending a lot of time on that plane, but I worked with these two guys. It was a lot of fun. Um, you know, you know, you know one of them rich, and uh, this other guy's name his name is blake, but it was a lot of fun. Uh, we were flying together on this three-day trip and, uh, and we ended up overnight. One of our overnights was Seattle. Right Now, you know what's in Seattle, right? Well, where do you want me to start? Well, what are they known for downtown?
Speaker 1:Well, you know the fish market and then all kinds of cool stuff. You know Starbucks started there, all kinds of fun stuff. But what else? What are you getting?
Speaker 2:at. Well, blake wanted to go down. He to go to see the um the space needle, space needle I've never done that yeah, space needle. Seattle, uh, you know, it's a, it's a big iconic thing downtown. And seattle, it's a, it's a big landmark built in 1962 at the world's fair. Uh it, it was 605 feet tall, 360 panoramic view of the city of Mount Rainier. And then what is it? Just pronounce that, sean Puget.
Speaker 1:Sound Puget.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's what it is, Puget Sound. I thought you'd get a kick out of that. See, I told you to go ahead and pronounce it Puget Sound. So I just threw it out there for you to pronounce it anyway.
Speaker 1:So there for you to pronounce it anyway. So good, laugh about it. It's one of the icon signature outlines of the city line.
Speaker 2:I always do that, I love. I love doing that with you. Sometimes, go ahead, just pronounce for me. Anyway, they had a an elevator ride up to the observation deck and it was known as the first rotating glass floor in the world. That's cool. So these guys wanted to go see it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's cool. I've been on many of like rotating restaurants and stuff like that. That's kind of cool, like you're just sitting there and you know I don't know how I can't go around and around.
Speaker 2:It would get me sick.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, it goes so slow, dude, it's not even like. Oh really, it's like just moving, like just inches at a time, like it's just a very, very gradual you know, like I don't know how, like a rotation takes you 30 minutes maybe.
Speaker 2:Oh, really, yeah, it's like.
Speaker 1:It's not like even that you're moving Philly.
Speaker 2:So check this, you got it, you got it. You know we always love a good story though, though Right. So we get off the van and these guys they're like, hey, Gary, you want to go. And I'm like, nah, I ain't going. I ain't going downtown Seattle. First of all, there ain't me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if they were, if it was me, and I was telling you your ass is gone, yeah, I'm gone. I mean, well, that's different. Though, I mean that's different, that's me and you. But we get out. We get out of the hotel van. What do you think? The first thing that we smell overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1:Dude.
Speaker 2:Weed, weed. I'm just going straight to weed, I know, right in front of the hotel. You can't get away from it now. Freaking hate that, sean, I do. I can't stand the smell of it.
Speaker 1:For me, this is the crazy thing about weed. Like you know, I grew up in California the first part of my life and weed was around right. I mean, I was born in the 60s, there was lots of weed in California and I don't know what it is. But the weed has changed smell. The weed when I was a kid did not smell as bad as it does today. The weed today, oh, it stinks. It stinks man.
Speaker 2:It's just nasty, it stinks, and here's the worst part. Here's the worst part. There was this family getting out of this SUV, right, and they had like four kids. The smell was coming out of the SUV. Sean, yeah, how could you do that? How could you put your kids in something and, like, you got four kids coming out of this SUV and all those kids out of the suv. In the suv smells like weed. They don't give a shit. It's freaking horrible. I don't, parents don't care. It's horrible, I know, but anyway, let's go back to the story. Yeah, so these guys going downtown, so they have to go down, they have to jump on the train. Okay, so the train ride down was uneventful. Yeah, that's unusual for seattle.
Speaker 1:No, no, the no. The train to Seattle is cool. Have you been on it? I have, but I'm saying the ride down is uneventful is surprising, right?
Speaker 2:So, anyway, they get down there and they get on the bus. Now here comes the part of Seattle. So as they sit down next to them, this guy starts tweaking. It's just another friendly neighborhood Seattleer. Yeah, yeah, he starts tweaking. He, he, he's just going, he's just going crazy. Now these two are looking at him and the first thing that they're thinking is is this guy's going to reach in his bag, grab some knife and start stabbing people?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got to keep your your. Uh, situational awareness starts like going off there, right.
Speaker 2:That one thing you don't want to do is what Eye contact? Sure, because you don't know what this crazy person is going to start doing. You have no idea. So the whole time on the bus they're looking at this person and they go down to that carry part to the overview. Okay, so they get to the bottom of the overview and and and rich looks up and he's like they got four hills to climb. Dude, they're like 80, 90 degree hills they gotta climb there's nothing flat in seattle.
Speaker 1:I mean, if you go to seattle you better have some good hiking or walking shoes and on, because uh called an overview for a reason right right, there's a lot of hills there they climb up.
Speaker 2:they climb up these four hills, they get up to the top of the four hills and then they got a whole other staircase about 50, 60 staircases to go up to the top of this damn thing.
Speaker 1:Now most flight attendants they're going to have a heart attack when they get up there, most people are going to have a heart attack. It's a lot of up and down there, dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So they get up to the top, they start looking around and they're looking around the city. It's a good view, though it's a real nice view. I mean, they were showing me the view of it and it's actually really nice yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean I think I talked about this before where, like Seattle, has like some panoramic views and cityscape views that are just like awesome. I mean they're just signature. I got a picture that I took there in Seattle that's like amazing. I mean I caught Mount Rainier, the cityscape, you know there's a moon in the picture. I mean it was beautiful. I mean if you could catch it on a nice sunny day where it's not freaking. You know overcast and rainy, you know Seattle's beautiful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a beautiful city, except for a few other things, but anyway. So they had to go to the needle now, right. So they were like well, let's just take those scooters, because you know those scooters are all over the place.
Speaker 1:Yeah, scooters are the way to go, man.
Speaker 2:So they take that scooter, they jump on the scooter, they go down there and they're like it's like I don't know. 10 minutes down, 12 minutes down, they jump off there and they had to pay nine bucks One way, one way $9 for a damn scooter down a hill.
Speaker 1:Dude. First of all, if you're a scooter and you're traveling hint, hint all flight attendants and people that travel if you're going to use those scooters in the city, there are like deals where you can get them like cheaper for like I bet you anything. There was like a deal for the whole day for that was like 15 bucks.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, Well, no, the fifth. They could get it $15 for 30 minutes.
Speaker 1:Oh okay, yeah, I mean they have these, I run these things and I'm, I'm, I think I subscribe to like I have the apps for all of them, because when I get in the city, the last thing I want to do is be like looking for the app and you know what companies here in this city and stuff.
Speaker 2:I just want to jump on, scan my phone and go Listen. If I'm going to pay $9 for a couple minutes, I'm definitely paying $15 for $30. Right, right, right. So then they get to the needle. All right, they're all ready to go in, they're all excited, they get to go up to the top. Yes, $23.
Speaker 1:And they look at it like no way, hell, no, I'm not going up for $23.
Speaker 2:The whole purpose of this trip.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they spent all that money to get there.
Speaker 2:You go on a train, train, bus, bus, climb up the hills to the overview right.
Speaker 1:Scooter.
Speaker 2:Scooter, $9 for the scooter. And you get down there and you're like I ain't paying $23 to go up. That damn thing, dude, I'm going up, I know you are.
Speaker 1:I am going up I know you are. If I'm doing all those different transactions, $23 does not keep me from it.
Speaker 2:They're down there justifying a pizza, a burrito, something that they can eat. So just to say that they went inside the building, they had to go into the little store that's down below there.
Speaker 1:I'm sure Rich was in the freaking store taking pictures and stuff. I'm here.
Speaker 2:He kills me, man we're going to have Rich on here sometime. I was talking to him about it, rich, we'll get back to the story, but Rich is a guy. He rode his bicycle all the way across the United States. I know that boy. He is like our Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1:He is crazy, crazy, crazy. He does everything. He is like our Forrest Gump. He is crazy, crazy, crazy and he does everything. He's a dude. He's the cheapest kid that can be. He is. I mean, love the dude.
Speaker 2:He is a character, but he is as cheap as he is. I was dying, Sean. You know what he did. Okay, listen, you're going to love this. He brought a rotisserie chicken with him for three days.
Speaker 1:He looked at me and he goes, he goes. Hey, at least I kept it on ice this time. Yeah, man see, that's my, my comment proven right there. Like you and I, you and I bring food and stuff, but we don't bring no rotisserie chicken for three days on the third day, man, he was still picking that.
Speaker 2:He was killing me. He's so funny, such a nice, though, but his story when we talk about this later about him going across the United States, will be absolutely crazy. Yeah, we had to get him on the show.
Speaker 1:I'm so looking forward to that one.
Speaker 2:And he's a funny person. But anyway, they went to the needle and Rich was just sitting there saying it's funny. They called it the space needle because there's a lot of people that were spaced out from needles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm sure there was many needles laying around the Space Needle area.
Speaker 2:That's the sad thing about Seattle, though I mean a lot of these cities, and we said it before, man, they really jacked them up. Yeah, they did, they jacked them up.
Speaker 1:You know, between the homeless problems that these cities have and you know, just like the riffraff that goes with it, and then you get into the mental problems and drug problems. I mean it's sad. I mean when we go on these layovers like we get, we get to see all of us, like you get to see the real rawness of the city and and and most people are in a bubble. Sean, yeah, I mean, cities are, cities are beautiful and visit and stuff that you're going to those areas to see are going to be usually cleaned up for the most part. But I mean, when you get into the city and you start transiting throughout the city and stuff, man, you just get to see it's real, real and raw.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is Okay. So the ending part of this is the train ride back. What happened? It was real simple. A guy was trying to light up a meth pipe did you try to share with him? I'm sitting here going. Wait a minute, you got weed going, right, weed walking, uh, tweaking on the bus. Scooters didn't, didn't get up in a needle and a meth pipe coming home.
Speaker 1:That's an adventure man. It cost him a lot of money actually to go and do nothing.
Speaker 2:You know what I did, sean. What's that? I stayed in a hotel, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was a good trip missed.
Speaker 2:Those two were great, though, man, I had a lot of fun with you guys, flying with you guys. I do it again a thousand times over, rich, looking forward to you being on the show. What?
Speaker 1:Let's talk about some fun things, fun things man, fun facts, some stuff that I've pulled up out of the freaking archives here. Did you know on this day in 1931 that the uh us first adopted our national anthem? Nope, but I'm glad they did yeah, man, I mean, that's 1931, like you wouldn't think that our national anthem's been around that long, you know, right, because uh, you're like, well, first of all it's 1776, right, so that so it's been around that long, but it just, it's a. It's amazing that it took that long to adopt.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Sure, right, right. So, uh, 2018, there was a bottle discovered by a couple walking on the beach in Western Australia. It's known as the oldest message in a bottle Genie, I would. There was no genie in it, but I mean, when I was a kid, didn't that kind of like fascinate you, like you're like, I've always wanted to, like you know, be walking around and you find some treasure, right? I'm always been that like cool. I think that stuff is cool.
Speaker 2:Those gold doubloons. They found those too, you know, like on beaches and stuff, because with the ocean churns up and it comes from the bottom.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff, like you're walking down a beach and you find shells. People always want to look for that, but finding a message in a bottle would be super cool. Yeah, I mean, first of all, I don't know, even if I wouldn't be picking up the freaking bottle.
Speaker 2:Normally people don't pick up trash right. You would consider that trash right. I found a fit bit in there. I mean it's actually in the sand and in the water yeah, there's not a treasure not a treasure. Sorry it wasn't. It wasn't a note in the bottle, but that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 1:Right, find an old note dude and they found this note. But what I didn't tell you was the note was from 1886.
Speaker 2:That's crazy, that is absolutely crazy. That is, you wonder. Would the paper actually fall apart, though?
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I mean, it depends, you know, like, the elements is what kills all this stuff. It breaks it down, right. So I mean, if it's in the bottle and it's corked off and it's, you know, sealed off from all elements, you know when, all that stuff, you know maybe.
Speaker 2:I guess it did. It's kind of cool though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anyways, uh, 1912, man, this is all about me right here. Oreo sales went on sale for the first time in 1912 I wonder when they had double stuff oh, that didn't. I don't know. That's a, that's a google and that's a google question. I hate the shit out of some google double stuffs, I mean you don't like.
Speaker 2:No, I love oh man. Oh, I was gonna say I know I love double stuff. I normally have a package upstairs and downstairs, yeah, double stuff, man, I'd kill those, yeah I, and downstairs, yeah double stuff, man, I'd kill those.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I love, but I haven't. Nabisco just came out with this new the thin ones. Have you had the thin ones yet? Yep, yeah, the thin ones. I'm starting to dig that Even you know. It's the opposite of the double stuff. It's more cookie than it is the creamy stuff. But yeah, man.
Speaker 2:Add a little peanut butter.
Speaker 1:Peanut butter on Oreos. Yeah, really, yeah, dude, that's your staple, I'll take peanut butter on anything.
Speaker 2:That's your staple man. I love peanut butter.
Speaker 1:You and peanut butter on this peanut butter on this Shut up.
Speaker 2:I like peanut butter.
Speaker 1:Yeah, go ahead, we can talk about steak. We're going back a couple weeks here, all right, anyways, night 1897, uh, a doctor, john kellogg, served the first cornflake, and the crazy thing about it is that the doctor believed that a strict diet of these cornflakes would benefit his patients at a mental hospital. How crazy is that.
Speaker 2:Well, that's kind of crazy. Just a mental hospital and crazy In the same sentence, right and cornflakes.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, we go through all these remedies and different things that are out there, right, and you start thinking about how, how, like science has changed. But here's a doctor back.
Speaker 2:He made that shit up, Sean 1896.
Speaker 1:He still made a cornflake is going to like help your mental acuity or whatever you know like come on.
Speaker 2:Well, they, you know, remember the the little snake bite serums, what they had too, yeah, I mean, they had all kinds of shit that they've snakes there, yeah right yeah like a cornflake man, help your mental.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna get you a box you need one after that, but your face is gonna be on the box, not mine all right man anyway 1979. Uh, phillips demonstrated, uh uh, the first compact disc publicly for the first time. Isn't that crazy, you?
Speaker 2:had it 1989. You had it then. I probably had it right after that. I guarantee it was in your house.
Speaker 1:Dude, it's so funny. I can walk in my closet back here in my office and I can go through technology. I got Walkmans. I got freaking I got. I got Walkmans. I got freaking Gameboys. I got freaking like history of electronic history. Electronics is like all this stuff Compact.
Speaker 2:MP3 players.
Speaker 1:Look right behind you. We got a whole shelf of CDs.
Speaker 2:I use it all the time Gee, you got to get this, gee you got to get this. I'm like shit, you got everything coming out. This guy's got every damn thing, from I bet back to eight tracks.
Speaker 1:I don't got any kids.
Speaker 2:Man, you probably still got them all. I got toys, I got toys. Yeah, you still got them all. All right, let's talk about the destinations.
Speaker 1:When's the last time you used a CD?
Speaker 2:I can't even remember.
Speaker 1:Like the last time you actually picked up a cd and put it into a cd.
Speaker 2:I can't remember, I mean hell, remember the little mp3s or the before then it was the, the um, what was it?
Speaker 1:the, the before that we had seen cassette tapes yeah, because that takes and then a tracks yeah, I got a. I got a freaking. A rack of cassette takes in storage Really yeah, and I think we have one cassette tape player upstairs in one of the old stereos.
Speaker 2:I have Remember when you used to sit there and record all that shit.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that was fun. It's crazy, man, yep, technology and how it works and all this stuff. And you were talking about MP3 players. Mp3 players, man, that was something that came and went, I know, boom like snap. Yeah, they were fun, though, but now we got freaking everything's on our phone. Yep, it all went obviously to one device. Now, pretty cool, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2:All right destinations.
Speaker 1:Destination man, and today we're going to be talking about San Antonio.
Speaker 2:Texas.
Speaker 1:San Antonio Riverwalk San Antonio has. I have so many mixed feelings about San Antonio. I got good feelings, I got some screwed up, crappy feelings about San Antonio. But this is all personal to me, the bad ones, the bad feelings. Here's my bad feelings. I'm going to throw it out there because we're talking about San Antonio, because I got some strong feelings about this.
Speaker 1:San antonio is where my father died, so it's always been a city that's like got a little stain on it for me. Yeah, the other thing that san antonio had too is when I moved there as a kid and uh, you know, I lived there for about two years it was the first time that I really really had racism thrown right in my face. Really, I mean it was bad. Yeah, we can go into a lot of many, many stories about that, but this is south and it was the uh, you know, in the in the uh 70s and um, yeah, it is what it is. That's history, right. But then san antonio has some cool stuff. I mean the really cool stuff and cool history. Yeah, it's got the Riverwalk. I mean you can't go to San Antonio and not go down to the Riverwalk. I mean Riverwalk's got so many cool places you can walk around there. There's shops, there's restaurants, all kinds of food. You can get into all kinds of stuff on the Riverwalk and it connects like there's a mall on one end of what they're known for down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just they're known for that, taking the little cruise on a boat on the river walk, all that good stuff, yep, um, and river walk was cool, um. The other thing that's cool and really was like a uh, anticlimactic for me, for me is, uh, have you ever been down to the alamo? No, well, the alamo, like you've heard about that right and you heard the whole stories Are you shitting me or have I heard about the Alamo?
Speaker 2:I'm just questioning, dude.
Speaker 1:I don't know Davy Crockett. No, you grew up in Illinois. I don't know what you know you?
Speaker 2:better stop it.
Speaker 1:So anyway, when you go to see the Alamo, have you been down? Have you heard of the damn?
Speaker 2:But when you go to see the Alamo, have you been down? Go ahead. No man, I lived underneath a rock my entire life. No, I grew up the same time as you. You shouldn't meet. We had that in history.
Speaker 1:The people listening to the show don't know you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, whatever Go ahead, don't know the Alamo.
Speaker 1:Remember, this is the guy that said he stayed in his room in Seattle, so anyways, so the Alamo, have you seen it in person? Yeah, you've seen it in person. How big is the Alamo? Not big, it looks like a small apartment building, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean it is so small.
Speaker 1:You were thinking like this big, huge, like mission or something like that Ford and the way they talk about it in the stories, I mean it is surrounded by like San Antonio has like engulfed that.
Speaker 2:Like a hut.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just, it's so small and it seems so insignificant, but you got to imagine that, that that mission was sitting there in an area that was just nothing but flat around it.
Speaker 2:There was no city around it, hey Sean.
Speaker 1:Yeah, remember the Alma, remember it. Okay, I'm remembering it right now.
Speaker 2:I know you are. I'm remembering it. I know you are All right, go to the next one, you killed me.
Speaker 1:The other thing, about Seattle too, is I mean not Seattle about San Antonio, is my other great fond memory of San Antonio is that's where I went through Air Force basic training.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, lackland Air Force Base is right there in San Antonio and you know everybody that is in the Air Force, my son Dalton, yeah, your son, everybody goes through Lackland Air Force Base, absolutely. And so good memories, I mean because you know I remember going on leave and the first thing we did was we went down to the Riverwalk. You know, like as soon as we get off base and get out of there had some, you know, a free minute to ourselves. That's where we went, you know, and if you're ever there on a weekend where the military gets their break, you're just going to see them everywhere in a river walk. No shit, they're going crazy. I mean they're just there everywhere. I mean you're just like whoa, what just happened? You know, ship pulled in or something. You know it's crazy.
Speaker 1:But the other thing too is, uh, has lots of history down there. One of the cool places I always like to visit is this place called the historical market square and it's like this whole, like little mexico there, like it has all these, like like shops and all these, like you can get all that stuff that you get over in mexico, all you know. You go across, you know, down brownsville and you go across the border there all those little teeny shops and stuff has all those knick-knack crap and all this stuff like ponchos and hats and all they got it all there too. Anything historical like Hispanic and stuff is there in that market.
Speaker 1:But the food they got all kinds of cool food places and when you talk about San Antonio, the food, I can't tell you just pinpoint one place. You got to go, because the food is. I mean, you go to San Antonio, you should be eating either Tex-Mex or Mexican, right? Oh yeah, like that's what you're eating down in San Antonio. But of course they got all the other chains and stuff. You want a McDonald's, you get a McDonald's, right.
Speaker 2:I'm still looking at you going. You asked me if I knew the freaking Alamo. I'm still looking at you going. You asked me if I knew the freaking Alamo. I'm like are you shitting me? You know, folks, we're going to have to end it on this, because I'm looking at him going, are you? Absolutely kidding me.
Speaker 1:We don't have to end it on this, do you?

Speaker 2:Show life that you have a million reasons to smile and laugh and stay strong, exactly Because you know, we've been through so much and the reason why I picked that is because me and you the last couple months, man, we've been through a lot of stuff and folks. We know it. But as you can tell me and Sean always laugh, always smile, and if we think one of the other ones is down, we kind of pump them up. So if you've got somebody out there that's a little bit down, try to bring them up. We do it all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you've got to think about the positives in life. I mean, don't let the negatives get you down, because there's lots of all those little incidents and all those things that we talk about. Like along your day there's going to be people that are going to be trying to bring you down and take you down with them, but don't let them do that. Nope, nope, just bring each other back up, man Stay positive, man Get ready for the next day. I mean remember the Alamo.
