Cabin Pressure with Shawn and "G"
Finding Joy When Every Day Feels the Same
Talk to us! Leave us a message, or ask a question?
We've all felt it—that Groundhog's Day sensation where life becomes an endless loop of waking up, grinding through the day, dodging strangers on sidewalks, and wondering when a burger and fries became a $27 investment. This episode dives deep into breaking free from life's repetitive cycles and finding meaning when everything feels mundane.
G shares his experience of entering what he calls a "Groundhog's Day" period—not clinical depression, but that wearing down that comes from life's daily grind. His moment of clarity came after an uncharacteristic confrontation in an airport concourse, leading him to implement his three-step recovery process: performing acts of kindness, practicing gratitude (especially for health), and finding inspiration in those facing greater challenges yet persevering.
The conversation shifts nostalgically to growing up in the 1980s when face-to-face interactions weren't interrupted by screens. Remember playing outside until dark? Cruising in meticulously cleaned cars on weekend nights? Block parties in cornfields? Shawn and G contrast this with today's technology-consumed world where "nobody's breathing anymore"—everyone's head down, scrolling through phones, missing the life happening around them.
Between discussions of overpriced burgers, home renovation projects, and airline passenger behaviors (why do men resist seatbelts?), a powerful message emerges: sometimes the simplest actions break us free from life's monotony. As Shawn quotes, "How do we change the world? One act of random kindness." It's this philosophy—paying forward kindness without expectation—that might be the key to escaping our personal Groundhog's Day.
Try putting down your phone this week. Look up. Breathe. Connect with someone. Pay for a stranger's coffee. The cure for life's repetition might be simpler than you think.

Speaker 2:Hey everyone, hey, everyone, welcome. This is Cabin Pressure. It's Sh Hector.
Speaker 1:Here we are.
Speaker 2:Welcome everybody. Not even quiet. What's going on, man?
Speaker 1:Nothing, man. I was prepping myself for this intro because I know everybody's excited to hear what I've got for them, but nothing man myself for this intro, because I know everybody's excited to hear what I've got for them, but you know what? Here's the first thing I want to talk about. You know what I'm doing all these freaking projects around the house right now, and one of the reasons why I'm doing these projects is like Carol and I are like geared enough for retirement, because I want the house to be tight because we already made the decision we're staying at this house.
Speaker 1:I need to get shit done.
Speaker 2:I thought you were retired already.
Speaker 1:To you.
Speaker 2:No, you haven't seen retirement.
Speaker 1:Yet, brother, it gets more casual, more relaxing, if you got any more casual shit.
Speaker 2:You'd be a slug. You know, I'm never going to be stopping A slug is far from what we'll be looking like, Anyways, but I'm doing all these projects.
Speaker 1:Man Projects are so expensive on houses. I got to replace my deck. We got a patio back in my house that's freaking. I got to get it resurfaced and then I've decided. I've decided, like all our freaking um landscape, landscape in our house, like everywhere around my whole entire house. It's 25, it's 25 years old, it's all overgrown, it's all this stuff just needs to be ripped out and redone, and my back, my back, ain't doing that, just move no, I'm not, no, I'm not moving, dude.
Speaker 2:That's the whole point. This is the thing got to gear up my house.
Speaker 1:I got to redo it, so we've been saving up and preparing and trying to get this thing ready to go, because we've got a few years left before we're actually going to step into true retirement. But yeah, it's like.
Speaker 2:Did you choose a company? Last week they were here Did you choose one?
Speaker 1:For the decking. No, actually I'm still getting quotes, yeah, but they've come in all over the place.
Speaker 2:So you get a project like this. Tell these people, how many quotes did you get?
Speaker 1:Minimum for me, like I need three, four quotes, minimum on a large project. Because I want to see, you know, they're all basically quoting the same job, right.
Speaker 2:So the smart thing to do is like be patient set up your appointments, get your quotes make sure that you understand what the project you're going to learn some things along the way.
Speaker 1:This is a funny story. One of the guys came in and he was like, yeah, and this has nothing to do with like you know, I'm not discriminating against anybody. But he was like, yeah, and this has nothing to do with like I'm not discriminating against anybody, but he's like I got this lady that last week that she was like I need this quote. And he, she goes, I've, I've had your, your, my Ashlow, like my eighth quote that I'm getting.
Speaker 1:And um, she goes and I have uh, I have construction experience, so I just want to let you know that upfront she's telling this guy and so he's like you know I want you to do, you know tell me what you want to do with this deck. So he's like yeah we're going to be doing all this. You know that we're going to take out your deck, replace it and all this stuff and she's like well why do you have to do that?
Speaker 2:He's like this deck this deck is old and you know you need, you know the foundation. The deck needs to be replaced and supported and she's like, she's like. Why is it? Why is it?
Speaker 2:that all of you that came out here have been telling me that I have to do this like you know, you know why it's safe like she's like, he's like, he's like he's getting to the point where it's like she says she has construction experience, but she really doesn't know what the hell she's talking about like one of your posts is swinging back and forth and the common denominator that every contractor comes out here is telling the exact same thing, but she's not believing them, right?
Speaker 1:I'm like when you're working with people like that, that's hard to work with, especially when a contractor comes out.
Speaker 1:Consistency, right yeah, actually, I have had three, four, getting ready to have four contractors coming out here and as I was actually walking down the way here looking at other decks, I noticed that this one contractor that I bid to I looked at at the work they did because that's how I got their card and all this stuff was from. They were out and I was like give me your card, whatever. So I went back and looked at their work.
Speaker 2:I realized, I realized that the work was shit. Like I was like, like I was like.
Speaker 1:Whoa wait, wait, wait a minute. Some of the builders looked at it and he's like this other contract, he's like that's not even allowed anymore. They literally had the extension onto the deck hooked on with just one bolt through the wood. That's not even allowed anymore, anyhow so it's good for you to get quotes. Do your homework, get some quotes, make sure you're getting them.
Speaker 2:Not necessarily the cheapest price is always the best price because you don't know what you're getting, but it's best that you go and see their work.
Speaker 1:Go see the work.
Speaker 2:If you know anything as far as building, go see their work, because all you have to do is look at certain things. Even when they built my house, man, I walked in. They did a lot of jacked up shit in there, oh builders.
Speaker 1:There's no perfect builder. I mean when you get started discussing like building a house you're going to have.
Speaker 2:It's like getting married. I can't wait to hear this.
Speaker 1:You need. You're going to have some fights with the builder. You're going gonna have some fights with the builder. With the builder, you're gonna have some arguments with the builder.
Speaker 2:There's like there's gonna be conflicts.
Speaker 1:It's gonna happen no, I've never heard of anybody was like this was the best builder ever and it was all magical. They did nothing wrong. That doesn't exist in the world, but anyways, yeah, man. The other thing I wanted to talk about, too, man, was about our schedule like, like like technology and manual scheduling is a um.
Speaker 1:Manual scheduling, I think, is a thing in the past, like old school people that are in our age group and stuff. We walk around with our, like you know, open schedules, books, you write into them and all that stuff. A walk around with our, like you know, open schedules, books, you write into them and all that stuff. A lot of people still like to do that type of thing but but technology really has, um, some help where it can help remind you of things. And and my wife is gonna be like laughing her ass off about me talking about this because I forget to do shit still when I have tech, I know where you're going I know where you're going with this.
Speaker 1:Go ahead.
Speaker 2:I just wanted to say that you know when are you going with this. Sean, I know where you're going.
Speaker 1:Where am I going? I'm going to let you tell me.
Speaker 2:All right. So we scheduled our podcast and we schedule it the month in advance and Mr Technology over here goes okay, we're going to do it this day, this day, this day, all right, I got you. So when I'm doing my flying, which is every day, and it's trip trading, I accidentally put a trip on one of the podcasts. Will you guys get rid of that?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I never tell him to get rid of anything. What I tell him is that we have both of us we're doing shit just like everybody else out there. We've got to figure our stuff out. Both of us are super busy. We've got to commit to each week. We try to do it a month and a half in advance.
Speaker 2:You're funny as shit man. You have this long-ass pause. He's got this long-ass pause in the text going. It's like he's waiting for you to sit there and go. Oh, I'm getting rid of my trip.
Speaker 1:I didn't tell you to get rid of it, you didn't have to. You know you needed to. That's what it was. It's like ding, ding, ding, ding, little pause. I screwed up. Okay, I got rid of the trip. It's not hard. It's not hard. I mean, it was an LA turn. Yeah, that was like gone in a nanosecond Boom. Somebody was like what, yeah, g's giving up this. What? What happened? And the funny thing, about it.
Speaker 2:you'll get a call, are you okay?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, is Deb okay, is Deb okay.
Speaker 2:Is in there. That's the first response that I get. That's awesome. That's where our flight attendant group is. That's awesome. But, hey, you're right about technology. I mean it is good but as far as with the scheduling, I probably still won't do it.
Speaker 1:You got to do it, man. I've even seen you. I'm sending you links to like. All you have to do is click on and add it to your phone. Yeah, well, now I'm going to have to stay in links that have put alarms in.
Speaker 2:I'll still have to deal with a little pauses. We got to get rid of it again G. That's all right. That's all right.
Speaker 1:Hey, because what happens is when we schedule our podcast days and stuff, when we're going to record, we literally like as soon as that's set up, like my schedule just starts filling in from there Because I have, like I, got doctor's appointments.
Speaker 2:I got starts filling in from there because I have, like, I got doctor's appointments, I got people to see, I have golf to do, I got places to go, there's a lot to a podcast. A lot of people don't understand that. I mean, it's not just like you just get on the mic and just start talking.
Speaker 1:No, there's a lot to. I mean you gotta put together a show we take literally the week before the plan for the next week. So it's a week process of us like gathering information, figuring out our content, what we're going to do, making sure we got the dates, guests lined up, all the logistics that go into all the stuff to get everybody into one spot to like start talking and that's why you get a text going.
Speaker 2:I told you that was good. It's always that pause. We get that little pause, yeah.
Speaker 1:So what's been going on with you, man?
Speaker 2:you know. You know it was. It was funny. It was funny. I was looking at some of the social media sites a few days ago Actually, it's been about a week ago, but I was going through a period that I reference as Groundhog's Day. I think I talked about this before in another podcast, but what it is is that these people were talking about depression. You know, flight attendants were talking about depression and I was realizing. I go through this every once in a while and you wonder why you do what you do, right? I mean, you feel like you're just spinning your wheels. Sometimes You're out there, you're busting your ass and you're like for what? Why do you do it all?
Speaker 2:I mean, you know we've got all this stuff You've got a house, you've got cars, you've got all this For what You're going to die one day, I mean. And you go through this time in your head and what it is is that it's the grind of life. It's that grind because you're doing it every day. It's that repetition every day, the beat it is, and what happens is it starts really getting to you. And I was reading these and I was like God, this is exactly what I've been going through and I haven't verbalized this until now. I labeled this Groundhog's Day in my head and I've been doing this for a while because it helps me deal with this daily grind that a lot of people think that it is a depression. I don't think it's a depression, sean. I think what it is is. You go through this grind of life and how do you deal with it, and if you don't have a game planned, a lot of times it really affects you.
Speaker 1:Well, so I'm just going to stop you one second. We are no specialists, we know no clinical blah, blah blah. You know people out there, maybe psychologists, saying you know that's what it is, what it isn't, all this stuff, we're not here to do all that. We're just saying we're just telling you you know, we have you know we have the ups and downs of life and it gets to you.
Speaker 2:Right and, like I said, I'm not telling you that you've got to do what I'm telling you to do it's just what I do. And when I was reading this it just kind of cued me in not to their situation, but mine and I immediately went to my coping mechanisms and I was walking down the concourse and this is when I knew the realization that something was wrong. And when I was walking down the concourse, you know how a guy is walking at you and, for whatever reason, men have this space issue Right.
Speaker 1:Right, and they won't move. Yeah, you're going to stay on your ground, yeah Right.
Speaker 2:So you know I'm walking, I'm thinking, okay, I'm going to give you some space, but I'm not going to give you all the space because that's not right.
Speaker 1:What you're doing, I know what you're doing yeah, there's, like it should be, a mutual respect of okay, hey, you're coming at me, I'm coming at you, I'm gonna step to one side, you're gonna step to the other, whatever like how many times?
Speaker 2:like how many?
Speaker 1:times have there been like that jog step, like we both step to the same side, like oh yeah, like we're like oh yeah, and you and you laugh, but when it doesn't happen, yeah yeah, that's exactly it.
Speaker 2:And the thing is that I'm walking there and I'm thinking to myself I'm not in a good mood and you're doing this and that's fine. But I gave you some space and I guess it wasn't enough space and I was like okay, fine, you want to go shoulder to shoulder with me? I'll go shoulder to shoulder with you, that's fine. I spun your ass around like a top At that point. I'm sitting there thinking one or two things are going to happen.
Speaker 2:Either this person will keep walking or I'm going to get jumped from behind. It's going to be something that's going to go on in the concourse. Don't get me wrong. I didn't want any of this to happen. It was a realization at that point that something was going on in my head.
Speaker 1:Talk to that point, that something was going on in my head, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean talked about at one point like it's like a millisecond for you to know, for you to know, like if this person, if this person is acknowledging you like you. You see, if you see each other like it's one thing, like it's one thing that you're walking down and somebody's.
Speaker 1:They're engaged in conversation or whatever. They're not paying attention whatever and they're not giving that way. You know to you like you're walking down the same space and they're engaged, you know stepping out of the way and you see that they don't see you, type of thing. That's, that's one thing. But when you know, no, they've seen you, we're both, we're both coming to each other and you try to step out of the way and they don't move Right, that's the, that's the situation we got.
Speaker 2:And that's exactly what I was saying the situation we got right here, and that's exactly what I was in and what happened was it wasn't the day for you to be doing that with me, but what I did do is I realized that you know I had to implement my coping mechanisms because something wasn't right. What it is is that you deal with people that are lazy. You work with people that are lazy. You deal with situations on the airplane. You deal with your life outside of the airlines.
Speaker 1:You deal with all these things and somehow you're supposed to keep it together and then you're feeling this feeling of okay, what is it all for?
Speaker 2:Well, then I have to sit there and say, okay, I recognized it, so I called it my Groundhog's Day. And after my Groundhog's Day, the first thing I need to do because I want to get back to myself is I have to do an act of kindness to as many people as I can right away. Because as soon as I start being kind, I start feeling better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure man. You had that personal recognition to identify that you're doing something. One like at our age, you know like we did those type of things and that male testosterone back when we were in our 20s, right so?
Speaker 2:it's something that it's great.
Speaker 1:It's great that we're old enough and wise enough to identify. Hey, things are piling up.
Speaker 2:Life is piling up.
Speaker 1:We need to get away. I'm not behaving like I normally do.
Speaker 2:No, but I accepted my feelings and I do it without judgment, so I'm good with that, okay.
Speaker 1:So then I do these acts of kindness. Wait, wait, you're not judging yourself. No, I don't. No, I don good with that, okay, so then I, I do these acts. You're not judging yourself. No, I don't really. I mean here, let me do it for you, yeah, shut up when?
Speaker 2:I'm going through this. Yeah, put me right back in.
Speaker 2:So, uh, anyway, so I go, I go and I do these acts of kindness to people on the plane anywhere, just just to make myself feel better. Then, then, right away, right away, I start thinking about gratitude how lucky I am, and I'm lucky that I have my health. One of the most important things I think in life is your health. You have the ability to change whatever. As long as you're healthy, you can do whatever you want to do. So I'm healthy man, and the reason why is like I love my gym and my gym has always been what I reference it to as being my church.
Speaker 2:I go exercise every mental demon outside, you know, inside that church to get it outside of my body. So that is my church. Sometimes I'm in there on a Friday night, there's nobody in there and I'm texting a picture to one of my boys and they're like what are you doing, dad? I said I'm in church, man, it's Friday night of my boys. And they're like what are you doing, dad? I said I'm in church mass Friday night.
Speaker 2:Ain't nobody in here? I'm about ready to get ugly. So you know, get all these demons and you get them outside of your body from the gym. So I love that. But inside the gym I also find inspiration and a lot of times I get inspired. And one of the persons I always get inspired by is my sister who has MS, and the way she looks at life every single day. These people are amazing. They go through other things and they look at life differently, and she was inspiring to me. But then there's this guy that comes to the gym. He is in a wheelchair and he comes there, he gets out of the car, he gets in the wheelchair, he wheels himself into the gym. He does all this on that wheelchair and I'm like man, my life isn't bad.
Speaker 2:This guy's out here doing the same thing that I'm doing and he's in that chair and he can't even move. So your inspiration comes when you see someone else is not as fortunate as you, but they're out there doing the grind, and so all of a sudden I'm inspired to be more, to be better, and then I'm feeling good. I'm starting to feel good and I feel this start passing.
Speaker 1:And I realized that you know, just like anything else, this will pass. This is a blip, you guys.
Speaker 2:This is a blip in life, and if you realize that and if you identify it and then you can work on it, you can get through this and as soon as you get through it, things start turning better. And that's exactly what happened with me Is that this week a lot of great things happened this week and it happened because of karma, the doing things.
Speaker 2:That's nice, the gratitude and the inspiration that I have when I felt the worst and then I went back and the one thing I felt bad about was spinning that guy around in the shoulder and I realized that that might have been me when I was young, but that's not me today.
Speaker 1:Now will I do it again.
Speaker 2:Probably I'm not saying that I won't. I'm not perfect, I'm a human being but I'm not saying that I'm not going to feel this Groundhog's Day again because I'm going to feel it. It's a repetitive feeling and then there's nothing wrong with you. It's just life. We go through these things but we can make it through it. And I was looking at these comments thinking that these people were going through the same thing. But another video came out and I thought it was kind of cool and for me and you we both can talk about this one it was being an 80s child, yeah, yeah. And one thing about being an 80s child is, you know, when you talked about technology and this deals exactly with that when we were in the 80s it was a face-to-face.
Speaker 1:We talked with everybody right, but we didn't have technology. That's the thing about like being in the growing up in the 80s and stuff. We didn't have the technology, Technology was just starting. We didn't have the technology, Technology was just starting. We were just getting the taste of what technology and where technology can go and how it can entertain us and those type of things. Video games are just starting to happen. You and I started off on Pong.
Speaker 2:They don't even remember Pong.
Speaker 1:Pong was a table tennis game, it was just like these two blip screens going back and forth, and you know like it's a basic programming you write on any computer today, but it's it's like that was like that was our big entertainment, right? I mean, we said, there are hours doing the trying to keep that ball back and going out from going out. You know um.
Speaker 2:It was like air hockey on the tv you know, like just it was, it was, it was fascinating.
Speaker 1:It's still fascinating, like technology, to me. I grew up. I grew up in the age where technology, like all the things, all the things that have changed since we were kids to what it is, to what it is today, like a computer.
Speaker 2:Like a computer filled up this room and the first and the first computers we ever saw right, like it was like.
Speaker 1:It was like these giant computers, like ibm had these monster cabinets and that was a computer and blah, blah, blah. And now we got these like things, things that we carry around our hand, these phones that are like has more power than any of those room computers can even do, because we've everything's micro-sized now. Um, but it was because technology advanced and stuff.
Speaker 2:So it's fascinating to look at all that stuff, but it's not like the end-all, be-all. I think technology should always be something to assist you in life, but you shouldn't be consumed with it right, Right, but in our lives today, it has consumed us, and this is the point that I'm making. When we were kids, man, we didn't come in until the streetlights were on, right I mean we didn't.
Speaker 1:No dude, I would stay out until the freaking night. We would play kick the can Right. Like people don't even want to kick the. What? Like kick the can Football in the yard? Like playing touch football in the yard, Playing tag High and seek you ever go to the park and throw in a Frisbee. Oh yeah, don't get me started with that. Me and Gary went and did that in the park several times and he can't throw a Frisbee.
Speaker 2:How many times I was climbing a tree or on top of a building trying to retrieve my Frisbee. That's a whole other segment.
Speaker 1:Anyways, but yeah, like we did things you know you got out and the other thing.
Speaker 2:I'm just going through some of these things and I'll get to the reason why. But when we were younger we had to buy our own cars and the one thing that we did on Friday and Saturday night is we go cruising. We go cruising down. For us. We went cruising down El Dorado and Decatur, illinois, and there was two McDonald's at each side and you go, turn around and eat at the McDonald's and in each of the McDonald's there's two different schools that eat at McDonald's. So you check the girls out or the guys out at each of the McDonald's and you talk, right, you see guys that you've played sports against or you communicated, but your cars were immaculate. Man.
Speaker 2:They were spotless Friday, saturday night.
Speaker 1:Man, you put a shine on those things Because we bought our cars To this point that you're talking about buying cars and stuff, I want to say this my wife and I came from two different walks of life and she was given her cars and her parents bought her cars and all this stuff and I'm going to tell you right now like my car, my cars and, even to this day, like you, go in the garage my car. Normally it's cleaned up, it's. I wash it all the time. I take care of it because I bought it man it took me hard, money, time, time served, to get that car and she's, and she's always been given these cars.
Speaker 1:Like you know, she gets her car now. Now she buys her own cars today, you know, like we're too old for that crap, but um, she's always been given to it. But it's interesting because when I look at her entire family, like, like, most of them don't clean their cars yeah, they're like it's just a just like a thing to use and like and like her will get.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I haven't got to a level where she finally says, okay, enough's enough, I've got to clean my car Like I don't know if that's possible, like literally trash could be all over the floors and everything and she still would get in and drive and it blows my mind.
Speaker 2:Right, but it goes back to again when we grew up. I mean certain things about where you grew up and what you had to do, but, like I said, my money was always spotless. But the thing is that today you're stuck on your damn phones. There's nobody chasing dreams anymore.
Speaker 1:They're not.
Speaker 2:I mean, what they're doing is they want so many likes, they want all this crap and I get it. I mean that's fine. I mean that's what you do, but you're not even going to trying to make a dream happen for yourself, because you don't have any.
Speaker 1:You don't have any dreams, nothing.
Speaker 2:I mean, you know, we had block parties, we had things that I mean we had parties in the freaking cornfields when everybody just hung out.
Speaker 1:I mean, what I realized was when I'm going, through all this stuff and what it is is that back then we could breathe right.
Speaker 2:You go outside, you enjoy the moment that you're in going swimming, going in the parks, playing. You weren't stuck on a phone. And today if you go into any place, any establishment, I don't care where it is everybody has their phone stuck to their face. Nobody's breathing anymore.
Speaker 1:Every time I go to work, man, I get on the shuttle. I mean it doesn't matter what shuttle you're on, whether it's an employee shuttle or a parking shuttle, whatever.
Speaker 2:Literally look around. I mean everybody is on the phone In the airports.
Speaker 1:Everybody's on their phone Like everybody's looking down. There's very few like inner gate. You know people inner Engaging, Thank you, engaging with each other. And yeah, I was like they don't, they don't.
Speaker 2:And that's. That's exactly what I was saying this whole thing about, and it goes full circle into this Groundhog's Day.
Speaker 1:So what I had to do is I had to breathe, man, I had to get back out, I had to get in the gym, I had to get outside and I put my damn phone down. I'm like you know, screw that I'm not answering the shit.
Speaker 2:I got to for a minute and I started being more concerned about other people than myself and started feeling a lot better. So, like I said, I had the Groundhog's Day. You guys, you might have this same feeling, but realize it might just be a blip and if it's not, if it's more than that, there's a lot of people that out there that can help you. I mean they can. I mean they can, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:There's lots of professionals out there to help you with this stuff and like you feel like you're getting into depression stuff.
Speaker 1:There's depression hotlines and all that good stuff to go to go to, but you know what it's, it's self, it's self help and being able to have that, have that ability to recognize and acknowledge that you were like not yourself, not yourself, and to adjust, that's growth.
Speaker 1:You know that's, that's the point of life where you've finally gotten yourself into like we all are going to be, up and flow and highs and lows to to life. Like I mean, I get into these and my wife will point it out, like I get into the like not quite panic mode but I start getting little anxiety happening and stuff about stuff and step back and be like wait a minute, you know, you know how gifted, how blessed, how blessed.
Speaker 2:Am I right, you know, like I don't, I shouldn't have this, this, these type of these type of worries and my wife is a big worrier, like her entire family.
Speaker 1:Worry, worry, and it's you know, you know. You just like pause just recognize.
Speaker 2:As soon as you recognize it and you start your way back. And, like I said, one of the easiest things to do is kindness and gratitude and if you do that, you'll see, start thinking of other people. It will change. Everything will change. You'll be a blip in your life. You'll get past this and you'll move on, and the next time you'll recognize it a little bit quicker. But we're going gonna go on from there.
Speaker 1:Now, sean and I wanted to add to you know, sarcasm and humor is a good tool too that's why I got you. That's sarcastic that's you 100. But listen, man, you know who was on my plane.
Speaker 2:Who's that? Who's that? M m g k what, what, yeah, mgk. Mgk is on your plane, man I took you back and forth from from cleveland. Did you get it?
Speaker 1:did you get a pic? Nope, nope. What the what?
Speaker 2:are you kidding? I knew you were gonna say that. I knew it. I knew it. I was like I didn't want to tell him because I was like you get a pit. You gotta like seize the moment I mean one of the the best things about being a flight attendant.
Speaker 1:I'm not that person. I know you aren't either. We're not all Google-eyed about people and all that stuff. It's fun to see them. It is entertaining. It's cool because we get to see so many people that we totally understand that they're just people too. I like to seize the moment, like, if I get that opportunity, you know like I'm not gonna run up to them and be like can I get your autograph?
Speaker 1:you know like that, that's not what I always like to get a picture with them, like, hey, you know when you're leaving out the door, or if you get a moment here when you're standing talking to us in the galley, or something like that you know.
Speaker 2:If you know, if they come, I'm like, hey, you mind snapping a picture with us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know they love that stuff.
Speaker 2:I knew I was going to hear shit about that, but you know, the one thing he's really nice, Nice guy. I hear, I hear, I hear. I mean he really is. He's kept to himself but very polite.
Speaker 1:I was pretty impressed. That's most of them, aren't they?
Speaker 2:Most people that get on.
Speaker 1:They treat us nice and they're nice people.
Speaker 2:We say that there's only 1%. Yeah, there's that 1% out there that we talk about all the time.
Speaker 1:We'll continue to talk about them.
Speaker 2:Machine Gun. Kelly, it was nice having you on Next time. I've heard it as if he's ever listening to our podcast.
Speaker 1:You never know, you never know, you never know. All right, I've got to tell you about this. Five Guys, five Guys, five Guys.
Speaker 2:Not five regular guys, you know, five Guys burgers, the burgers yeah.
Speaker 1:Do you like?
Speaker 2:them. Do you like them you?
Speaker 1:know what I do like Five Guys Burger every now and then. They're definitely not my like. I would not frequent them because they're too damn expensive, but they're a good burger.
Speaker 2:Would you compare it to like In-N-Out? That'd be like our version of In-N-Out Burger.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, here's the difference between like In-N-Out and Five Guys to me, because me like burgers. There's all these huge range of levels of burgers. You know, to me it's like you want your bottom line McDonald's burgers. That's the standard factory-issue burger. But, then, as you go up the chain, you've got the In-N-Out's. I love In-N-Out burgers. They're one of my favorite burgers period.
Speaker 2:And they're coming to Ohio. I heard that Whoop, whoop.
Speaker 1:Anyways.
Speaker 2:But then Five Guys is like that.
Speaker 1:They're known for it. It's a handmade patty, it's real beef, the quality of the food and all this stuff, but you're paying a premium for it. So it's like going to a restaurant and paying for an expensive burger.
Speaker 2:All right, I've got to talk about this now that we've told you a little bit about Five.
Speaker 1:Guys.
Speaker 2:So we go to the Five Guys to get a couple burgers. The other day and I'm looking at the menu the regular burger is like $9. $9. Okay, now this burger looks like the little cousin to the White House slider, damn thing. Okay, me and you, that shit ain't going to fill us.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean, first of all, their normal burger is two patties. They don't give you one patty, they give you two patties.
Speaker 2:Two patties should be one. Yeah, they smash them.
Speaker 1:It's like smash burgers.
Speaker 2:It doesn't matter if it's two. There should only be one, but anyway, what they're known for, they have all the natural fries, right the potato fries yeah, the fries are pretty decent. So one of the things that they do is like, if you order a small fry, which is like $5 and something, you're going to get like two servings because they're going to overflow the cup and all that. Okay, that's my point. They always dump the second amount in there.
Speaker 2:That's about the same size as the cup, so at least you feel like you're not getting slighted by the slider burger that you're eating and you're getting at least double the fries. So we get the oversized Dixie cup of fries, the small one, and it's still like $5. So we get the bag and the Diet Coke and the receipt comes, it's $27.
Speaker 1:For a Diet Coke, two burgers and a Dixie Cup thing of fries. And when I looked in the bag there was no double amount, sean. There was like four extra fries in the damn bag. Oh, they didn't give you the do the search.
Speaker 2:No, four extra fries in the bag. Now I was told you need to go back up there and tell them I'm not going back, I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back. I'm not coming back Because the only thing that was big on that whole meal was the receipt. No, the receipt was like three feet long.
Speaker 1:I know your point here and we all hear it clearly that this is an expensive burger. But let me tell you what and I have friends out here. They're going to laugh because if they're listening to the show, they're going to be like. We've seen him do this. I will check them. I don't give a flying fuck if it's $27. That burger is going to be a burger that I want to eat, I get it.
Speaker 1:I will, literally. I don't care what the exception is. I went into McDonald's. You know how you get to McDonald's and you go through the drive-thru and you open up the bag and you're driving away and the burger patty. They couldn't even line up the buns and it's all slid apart and it's wrapped up into a mangled bunch of ball. I will drive back to the damn McDonald's, I'll put it on their game corner and be like you see that picture up there.
Speaker 2:Does that look like? Does that look like this burger? Is this a burger that I just bought because?
Speaker 1:this is what you just served me through the drive-thru, thinking that I'm just gonna keep carrying on. You know? No, no quality, quality and customer service and all that stuff, especially if you're paying the prices that you're talking about in five guys it's better, it's better, it better happen. I would have walked my ass up there and be like listen, you shortened me on fries, but my point is this is that a lot of? People don't complain about that type of stuff when you're paying the prices like this.
Speaker 2:You've got to complain. Don't walk out. Normally I am going to complain, but in five guys they are known to double up the fries Right. So I shouldn't have to tell you to do your damn job All right. So the shouldn't have to tell you to do your damn job, all right.
Speaker 1:So the kid?
Speaker 2:that did it this is the big. Fyi People, people.
Speaker 2:I get that you have to hire young people to do a job, but make sure, if their pants don't fit, to wear a damn belt. Okay, because this guy had these freaking gloves on, was pulling up his pants every 30 seconds because they were falling down. Now he's touching food with these damn gloves on and pulling his pants up. Yeah, yeah, it's disgusting. I'm looking right at you and I am the person that's going to check that person, because that kid's got to learn. He's got to learn. This is unacceptable.
Speaker 1:He doesn't know who's looking at his ass pulling his pants up and stuff behind him. Right, we are we are.
Speaker 2:He doesn't realize that.
Speaker 1:He's too young to even identify that that's not good customer service, that's not good hygiene like if you don't point that out, nobody's nobody's gonna check it. That's a manager's job, like you're saying that's a manager's job, but it's also us as a customer to be able to go in there and tell them.
Speaker 2:Like listen, this is unacceptable.
Speaker 1:Like look, this gentleman right here is pulling up his pants with the glove he's serving my fries on, he's putting whatever he's been touching on his ass and his stuff back onto the fries and then you're going to throw them into the bags and then you're going to short me on fries in the first place, which I'm angry about in the first place. You know like come on, we got to check them.
Speaker 1:I'm not going back. No, dude. I will tell you, I have a friend right now. They laugh all the time because they love the line it's like does that picture. Look like this picture Because I will use that every time, because, listen, we pay a lot of money for this right now. Food is not cheap right now. If you want quality food and you want quality you know I'm a big, you know I work hard. I'm going to eat hard.
Speaker 1:Right $27 for two sliders and a half a spud Dude in the airport put that five guys in the airport and now it's like $37, right, no kidding.
Speaker 2:Even in LA. The reason why people eat on the airplane is because in Los Angeles it costs $22 for a little bit of hamburger. You come on the airplane, it's like $10 for a Vendaburger. Yeah, dude, I mean, I'm telling you that's why they wait, it's so expensive in the airports?
Speaker 1:I mean, you're talking about five guys outside of the airport, but when you go put them in the airports it is crazy expensive. Because I just did that LA thing I think I talked about it in a few episodes ago where it was like I got off and they wanted $28 for the hamburger. No fries, no, nothing, just the hamburger. I was like hell, no, hell, no.
Speaker 1:Hell no, I'm not doing that. That's too much money. But if you're trapped and you've got to do whatever to survive, you've got to do what you've got to do, all right.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about a little bit on the plane. Okay, how could you be in this job for three months and your ass be lazy already, dude?
Speaker 1:Dude, they came here lazy.
Speaker 2:How do you come to any job? And last, and you're just lazy after three months.
Speaker 1:They put up the phony front. They get the job. They get in the door. And that's why we got probation right.
Speaker 2:I mean, we call out pastors, but we also call out crew. I mean, listen on cabin pressure, we'll call crew out too.
Speaker 1:Dude, I can't tell you how many times I've told an absent flight attendant like is this really the right job for you?
Speaker 2:Do you think that's wrong? People don't like hearing it.
Speaker 1:I will take confrontation on face on.
Speaker 2:I know you do.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to back down from that. But I'm going to call a spade a spade If you're a lazy-ass worker. I'm going to call a spade a spade If you're a lazy ass worker.
Speaker 2:I'm going to call you a lazy ass worker, but your ass isn't even off probation yet and you're already lazy. Do a thing that you shouldn't even do and then someone has to call you out for it. It's ridiculous. When you get these people out there and we have to actually call them out, it's bullshit. They haven't even been at the job three months, and I think what you're talking about too. You think a lot of it. I mean, I know just who you are but we have a small base mentality.
Speaker 2:We call each other out.
Speaker 1:Hey, I know for a fact and I know people that listen to the show Sean, you're a lazy ass too. No, I've had slumps where life gets you down and all like this stuff like g was talking about, and you know, you come to work and maybe I'm not pulling my weight, whatever that's. That's happened in the past. I've been doing this for 36 years.
Speaker 2:That's happened right, I'll walk back and go. Are you busy or what? Are you back here? I mean you might. I mean you might, you want to get your ass up for a minute, but then you, you get. But you snap out of it you snap out of it.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, I got to do what I got to do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, and you know like, so you know that happens.
Speaker 1:But I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean when you're new at a job. You shouldn't be lazy already, you should be energized ready, enthusiastic to find out. Because? To find out, because this is the one the best thing about our job is that every day we go to their job, we learn something new. Yeah, it is it I mean and I don't say that, say that with like, just like being trying to be funnier. I'm telling you every, every day, I go to the job.
Speaker 2:If I'm talking to a pastor, I'm gonna find out something new, like like, how did?
Speaker 1:you? How did you become this biological tester of amoebas or whatever? Whatever their job is? You know like. But we engage, we engage all these people and we find out cool things and learn new things. Like I had no idea that even existed.
Speaker 2:But a lot of them they don't even engage. But we do. But we also engage with our crew and that's the one thing that happens a lot on the plane, Because in our little world, especially in our small base, no one is done until everyone is done. Because if I'm walking up to the front and we've been busting our ass in the back of my gate, what are you guys doing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, what are you doing? You know?
Speaker 2:it's the same thing if you're working in the back and you walk through the front of the cabin and you're working through first class. It's really annoying. Pick a tray If you see trash, pick it up, Because you come to the front of the aircraft. They're going to pick your stuff up in the back and pick their stuff up going to the front too. And that's what I love about being in a small base we hold each other accountable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would have to say, like it is true in this base, that we're different than the rest of the airline.
Speaker 2:Really. Yeah, they call us special. Yeah, we're different, we have a reputation here in Cleveland.
Speaker 1:That was like oh yeah you're working with Cleveland. They're going to make you work.
Speaker 2:Well, it's because we won all the awards. I mean seriously we won all the awards when it comes to customer service, and the reason is that we act like we are. If we're a customer, how do we want to be treated?
Speaker 1:And that's how it is in.
Speaker 2:Cleveland. But we also hold each other accountable. So if you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing somebody's going to call you out.
Speaker 1:It might not be this flight but somebody's going to call your ass out. He's going to catch up with you eventually, and hopefully it's a fellow employee catching you versus management. Yeah Right, yep, that's what those young cats don't understand. I've got to talk about this one guy.
Speaker 2:It was so funny. He was sitting walking to the back of the plane with his wife and they start getting into the row and he gets in, automatically, starts going to the window seat and she looks at him and she goes. You didn't even ask he goes, ask what she goes. You didn't even ask me if I wanted the window seat and I'm listening to this and he goes. Well, my seat says A.
Speaker 1:And he goes, that's my seat and she goes this is the first time I've been on an airplane.
Speaker 2:It's my birthday flight and you didn't even ask me if I wanted the window seat. Now I'm sitting there listening to this and I immediately go to him, do you think? You made the right decision. And he goes what? And I said, well, think about this. How long have you guys been married? She goes 10 years. And I said this is your birthday trip. And she goes yes. And I said your first time on an airplane, she goes yes. And I looked at him and I said did you make the right decision Because it's very imperative that you think about this right now.
Speaker 2:And did you make the right call and he looks right at her and he goes would you like to have the window seat? She goes? I would. Would you like to have the window seat? She goes? I would. And I told him, I said did you see the elephant her face turned into? Because let me tell you something, women, they will not forget. That little moment right there would have cost him months, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Months right no-transcript.
Speaker 2:She got the window seat though.
Speaker 1:Right, I mean it took somebody else to interrupt into this, but it was really funny.
Speaker 2:I was like you're in such deep shit right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we go through this in my relationship as well and we're in a little different dynamics there and my wife is always like she wants the window seat she always wants the window seat. And for all you out there that know my wife's a pilot, she gets to do her work and she gets to sit in front of a window all day and look out the damn window. And every time I get on a plane I never get the window, because she wants the window. I'm like really I never get the window because she wants the window.
Speaker 1:I'm like really.
Speaker 2:I go, how much viewing of the world I get to look at when I'm working, okay, but my point is I get asses and elbows all day long and never get to see blue skies until I actually look out the freaking porthole of the door. Okay, so where did you?
Speaker 1:sit Aisle, aisle.
Speaker 2:See, you're a smart man, because you'll never hear the end of that. Carol's going to look at you like what's your point?
Speaker 1:So here's where it all pays off. So when we do get on planes and we're sitting, and now we don't have that seat empty in the middle and we've got to sit together in an aisle, whatever aisle window, Now, if we're, in a row and there's three people and we're all stacked in there now she's going to give me the window because she's smaller than me. The big guy doesn't go in the center seat, so she will do that in that situation always.
Speaker 2:But if we've got a row to ourselves, you're in the aisle. All right, man. They had this really cool thing out on the island of Kauai and I was reading about this and it was really neat. You could check a dog out for the day.
Speaker 1:Check a dog out for the day. It's like a library book. Are you talking about dating or are you talking about like? This is just a companion? It's like a library book. Are you talking about dating?
Speaker 2:No, it's a shelter.
Speaker 1:You can go to emails and fly in on this one. What did he say? I just had to throw it out there, that's cool man.
Speaker 2:That's cool. It was really cool. I was reading about this. You can go to the shelter and you know how. You walk around the island and you go on hikes and everything. You can actually check a dog out.
Speaker 1:That's cool man. I never even heard of anything like that. But as I started talking about this, you brought it up last week and I was like that's really unique and everything. I guess you can do this around the country too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they started this program.
Speaker 1:They started Brewing the Brooms where you can help the kennels out and help the SPCA or the Maine Society out by taking the dog out for the day. That's kind of cool I wonder if they do it with all animals, like cats and dogs.
Speaker 2:Not sure, but I know what the dogs they do and they said that it really helps them get adopted. It makes sense. I just thought that was so cool. I was like, forget a library book, man, I get to go get a dog.
Speaker 1:How does that happen? So I'm on vacation in Hawaii. I check a dog out for the day, I fall in love with this dog. Now I've got to pay for a dog. Get back another ticket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, that's cool, but you know the dog gets adopted, so that's cool. I thought that was really neat yeah, all right now all right now. This is one. This is one weather delay, weather delays, because we just had this this past week too, um, um why?
Speaker 1:is it? Why is it that majority, the majority of?
Speaker 2:men always have always have an attitude when you're asking them. Just simply put the seat belt on. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Listen, I mean, the seatbelt thing is like my number one pet peeve on a flight and I do not roll, and you know we've worked together so many times. It's like it doesn't matter if the seatbelt sign's on or off. I'm going to tell you can you put your seatbelt on, can? I'm going to tell you, can you put your seatbelt on.
Speaker 2:Can you put your seatbelt on Because?
Speaker 1:they have not witnessed what we've witnessed Like when that turbulence hits and you're on the ceiling. And if you're in charge of the loved ones little kids or any of that stuff believe me, I don't care how big or small or strong you think you are, you're not going to stay in that seat, and it's just common sense for us.
Speaker 2:But I guess the public they just you know, I just don't understand the attitude, though. I mean, I'll never understand why all we're doing is our job. They're smarter. Yeah, it's almost like this male engaging thing, and I'm looking at them like it's almost like you want to fight me. I'm like I'm just telling you to put your damn seatbelt on.
Speaker 1:No, they're more educated than us. It just doesn't make any sense. Yeah, Doesn't make any sense. Doesn't make any sense. They have more experience than us too.
Speaker 2:You're bouncing around, you're going through turbulence. No, go ahead and keep it off. It's their kids. They know better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, things that people don't realize. It's like listen, my only concern on this plane is to keep everybody safe. I don't give a shit if you get a Coke. I don't give a shit if you get something to eat. I do give a shit about your safety. This is the one thing that I'm getting paid to do is make sure that you're safe, you know? Respect us out there.
Speaker 2:This is our job.
Speaker 1:We're not trying to pick on. You. Put on your seatbelt. It's that person. You tell them to put on their seatbelt and they put it on, and then you walk back 15 minutes later and they have their seatbelt on and you're like what the hell, I don't know?
Speaker 2:Simple request, but it's always an attitude that goes with it. But, you know, okay Now talking about that Dumbest talking about that. Dumbest comments boarding the aircraft. I gotta, I gotta say this one, this one happened a pilot you know. They walked on board and they're like hey, didn't I just see you in the bar a few minutes ago? You know what happened that. A passenger said that to one of the pilots yeah he was. They were just getting in there to do a pre-flight.
Speaker 2:You know what happened canceled canceled that pilot picked his bag up and he and he turned around, he walked off and they're like what is he going? I was like well, you just accused him of consuming alcohol. Now he's going to walk off this aircraft. He's going to request an alcohol test, because you just said something that that wasn't true and you thought it was funny.
Speaker 1:He was like oh, I was joking well congratulations.
Speaker 2:You just canceled this damn flight and that's exactly what happened. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean people don't understand.
Speaker 2:I think we've talked about this once before.
Speaker 1:You just can't say certain things on a plane period.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:You have to be able to understand that there's a time to joke and there's a time not to joke. And it's time to make comments that have repercussions to them and if you say these things, people are going to be very.
Speaker 2:What's the?
Speaker 1:word.
Speaker 2:I'm looking for Analytical about their You'll have a lot to say because you'll be sitting out at the damn terminal talking about this shit. No, that's. My point is that when you make these dumb comments like that, think about it. Funny ones, I mean, we get funny ones all the time. What am I going to have? Lobster steak after takeoff? Okay, you always get that. That's the older guy's comment.
Speaker 2:They always sit there talking about the lobster and steak. What am I going to have? Lobster or steak, Okay, but when you talk about a pilot being in a bar a few minutes ago, be careful because, you just might end up sitting in some Jackson Hole little bitty airport for the next seven hours.
Speaker 1:It can happen with a flight attendant too.
Speaker 2:Somebody ask me about that.
Speaker 1:Literally, I'm going to be like okay, I'm done, I'm done, I need to go get drugged.
Speaker 2:Funny. They just asked me on the plane. This woman goes oh, can you have a drink with us? And I'm like no, and she goes, why you don't fly the plane? And I said, well, it's a federal offense, I'll go to jail and she goes why would you go to jail? You're not flying and I was like I am, I'm working the jail.
Speaker 1:I'm responsible to get your ass off this aircraft. Do you want a drunk guy trying to get off the aircraft or do you want a guy that has all his faculties?
Speaker 2:It just shows you they really don't understand it a lot of times. I mean, some of the things that they say, they just don't understand.
Speaker 1:Well, the importance of the position is what's going on with our society and it's what's going on with our society Like they, they, you know, and, and it's and it's, you know, partially the blame to the, uh, marketing departments of the airlines, right, like in the, historically it started off, you know, flight attendants, were these all females? And then we, um, then we did the whole, you know, made them sex symbols and put them in go-go pants and boots and all that stuff. And you know, and you know, back in the sixties, and fifties.
Speaker 2:You know the guys slapping the girls on the ass was like that was acceptable behavior back then.
Speaker 1:You know like so you know, that's all you know, that's all just cascaded to this, like the meaning of a person on the plane and their position and the real reason why they're there for you, and so that whole stereotype's kind of continued on.
Speaker 2:So we you know we've got to fight that and continue to fight that, because when they get on a plane they expect to see two blondes, right, and then they see me and Sean and then they're like what the fuck is going on here? I'm getting off this damn plane.
Speaker 1:What is happening? Is there a?
Speaker 2:threat on this plane. Why are these two big individuals on my plane?
Speaker 1:I had that question one time. They were like is everything okay in this light, because it was you, I and Gary with us, all these big guys. And they're like this is like the biggest spirit we've ever seen.
Speaker 2:Everybody's just sitting down going no, I'm good.
Speaker 1:I don't even listen.
Speaker 2:I had during uh, during uh, covid I had this, I had this, uh, this neighbor, this neighbor here, that he was convinced like convinced that I was, that I was an air marshal. Oh really, oh really you're lying, you're lying.
Speaker 1:You're an air marshal you're not a flight student. I know you're.
Speaker 2:You're like last week I was a pilot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they think and dream up whatever they think about the whole thing but, it's super interesting Like this whole, this whole stigma with the position and all that stuff it goes back to and, like I know right now, like the. Afa, the airline flight attendant union, out there they're out in DC and they've been fighting for this for years as trying to label flight attendants as first responders. And there's something to that because when you have an airline incident, we are the first responders in an accident. There is no fire people there.
Speaker 2:There's no pilots for you. The pilots are flying the plane.
Speaker 1:We're the one, we're the ones actively getting you off and rescuing you and trying to get you to safety.
Speaker 2:You know that is our specific job on the plane if that job, if that job stops, and they figure out how to do that with a robot me and you are me, and you are on a beach. We'll be gone by then All right, let's go around the globe, yeah man, let's go around the globe, man. All right, this woman down in Florida, she was arrested. She's an unlicensed dental work person that she was found to have super glued the victim's veneer teeth.
Speaker 1:Dude she was doing those press-on nails and gluing them to their teeth.
Speaker 2:That's what they were doing.
Speaker 1:She started taking a jewel thing and putting, like diamonds and stars, on their teeth.
Speaker 2:Sean, if you were going to go have your teeth done first of all, would you pull into the tap-in beauty bar?
Speaker 1:Dude, I'm telling you right now, first of all, I don't into the tap-in beauty bar, dude. I'm telling you right now, first of all, I don't skimp on that type of shit, no. But.
Speaker 2:I'm serious. I mean, so you're pulling in like where are you getting your veneers done? Oh yeah, I'm going to the tap-in beauty bar.
Speaker 1:I heard baby she over there she can do a magical job like anything you want. Exactly how much did you pay?
Speaker 2:Well, mine were $1,500 to $2,000 a tee.
Speaker 1:See At the Tap-In Beauty Bar you can get the whole set for $2,500.
Speaker 2:And they put that Lee press-on nails under your tee. They glue it on with some super glue and file it down. And you were like out there smiling and they're like whoo, you got a mouth full of chicklets it down and you were like out there smiling and be like. The crazy thing is that when she smiles and then one of them pops off and hits somebody in the face, you're like what the? Hell just happened, so these people were getting sick. Why Super good?
Speaker 1:On your teeth yeah, chemicals that I'm eating and digesting continuously in my mouth.
Speaker 2:But again, if you went to the tap-in beauty bar and you only pay $2, bar and you only pay 2500 and you didn't do your research, maybe it should have been said a dental network.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now, like there's probably a reason, there's a reason why they don't show us, like, how much we pay for medical bills and all that stuff. Because, um, you know, it's these people that are always trying to skimp on things like that, I mean like these these, these, these, these people going over to different countries to get it like these dudes that fly over to Hungary and get hair plugs and or and or, you know, the girls go down.
Speaker 2:And all the plastic surgery and shit like that.
Speaker 1:Like doing all these like cheap moves and stuff like that. I'm like I don't know if I really trust that type of stuff. You know, like the-in beauty party is another place I'm probably not frequenting.
Speaker 2:But who would go there, though?
Speaker 1:First of all, the name of the beauty party is in question. Tap-in, like when you're doing whatever beauty thing that's happening, they're going to. I got the rest of this for you, honey. Tap-in.
Speaker 2:We get your nail too.
Speaker 1:Tap-in like it's a wrestling match or something.
Speaker 2:Is that, or it's like a bar yeah, I don't know. On tap, get drunk and get teeth at the same time no way.
Speaker 1:First of all, no way, all right.
Speaker 2:All right. This flight attendant had seen this passenger coming into the lavatory wearing white socks, and so they told this person you might not want to wear those white socks, and whatever's on that fork is going to soak up and destroy those white socks. And the passenger said thank you very much, took the socks off and walked in.
Speaker 1:Disgusting you, you Disgusting human.
Speaker 2:You don't want your white socks to be soaked in urine, first of all, but anybody can.
Speaker 1:No one on the plane should allow their children themselves or anybody to walk in without shoes into the lavatory on a plane. I mean it is literally an outhouse, I mean it gets clean and everything. But I'm guarantee you, I will tell you right now, they don't clean the floor every flight.
Speaker 2:No, because at least 50% of it's pee. Oh dude.
Speaker 1:I mean, people are like bouncing around in the air sloshing. They're peeing on the sidewalls. Shit's running down.
Speaker 2:You got women that squat and miss the whole thing yeah.
Speaker 1:Trying to hover on it and start shaking. And it's spraying everywhere. It's not water, no. And it's spraying everywhere. It's not water, no. It's like. Don't go in the laboratory without some freaking cushion.
Speaker 2:That shit was funny, though you took the socks off, but your feet's okay. That was so gross.
Speaker 1:They're gross man. And then he kind of came out and put it back on oh, let me save this Dry them off. I can keep those right in my feet. Yeah, you're nasty.
Speaker 2:All right. So this passenger, he supposedly was slapped by this flight attendant.
Speaker 1:And he said it was so embarrassing and so severe that he thought that he deserved one day of the airline's profits. Please. And that was a big airline, real, big, real, big. No, you know what I feel like that every day I go to work I deserve a day's profit of the airline, the abuse I get taken.
Speaker 2:For every day going to work I should get a day's profit, especially if I'm on a plane with you, you're going to take a shitload of abuse A day's profit.
Speaker 1:These people don't even understand. They don't understand.
Speaker 2:You know something? He probably deserved to get smacked if he thought like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Do you have a videotape of this?
Speaker 2:I don't know, look that one up.
Speaker 1:I'm claiming that you know, slap me, Slap me. There's probably some big person walking down the aisle and they'd frigging put a belly into him or something. He thought he got snapped.
Speaker 2:All right Sean. Quote of the day man.
Speaker 1:Quote of the day.
Speaker 2:man so here we go.
Speaker 1:How do we change the world? One act of random kindness.
Speaker 2:And you guys going back to when I started this whole podcast with Groundhog's Day. If you guys recognize this, trust me, one random act of kindness would put you back on the road. Trust me, it does. It does to me every single time.
Speaker 1:Pay it forward, man. If you just pay it forward, it's such a good feeling. Have you ever done this. I've walked into like I do this a lot with military, for sure, but I'm in a restaurant or something, or I'm getting a smoothie or everything and the person behind me. I pay for them.
Speaker 2:I have not done that.
Speaker 1:I know you haven't. You should try to do that I do.
Speaker 2:I have not done that. I know you haven't. You should try to do that, but I do.
Speaker 1:I was in a movie shop and I'm like you know there's some young gals behind me, or young boys, it doesn't matter who it is. Whatever I'm in that mood, I want to pay it forward. I put theirs on mine too. Whatever it is, I'll charge it to my car. It's just kind of a cool experience, because it's happened to me before. Like somebody paid for my meal, I'm like, and I'm like what? Why?
Speaker 2:why, what that happened what that? Happened. You know, like yeah, wow, and like I said that that's, that's a road to actually recovery, believe it or not, because as soon as you do, you're going to feel better about your day and better about yourself. So, random act of kindness, guys. So you guys have a great week. It was a lot of fun talking this week, sean, and I will see you next week with your technology and the schedule.
