Florida Beaches, Flight Drama, And Clean Hands

A blunt PSA, a nail-biter movie breakdown, and a beach list you’ll actually use—this one moves. We kick off by calling out airport bathroom offenders and then swing into the oddly soothing satisfaction of a full garage reboot. From there, we dive into a nuclear-crisis thriller that had us sweating for all the right reasons. We connect the on-screen chain-of-command to real-world procedures—codes, silos, and why those edge-of-seat final calls hit so hard—and ask how any of us might react when the clock runs out: do your job, freeze, or phone home.

That human thread guides a bigger story about aviation culture. We revisit the lawsuit that ended “no marriage” rules and opened the door to modern flight attendant careers, then contrast U.S. protections with the rigid grooming checks and contracts many crews face abroad. We trace the style eras—from nurse-chic to hot pants to the name-tag-and-flair phase—and tell some painfully funny jump seat tales about bragging, manspreading, and dragon breath you can smell through the headphones.

Craving a getaway? We map the Florida beaches that earn your PTO: Anna Maria Island for slow days and sunset gold, Clearwater for walkable food-and-sand, Bradenton’s easy charm, and Destin’s powder-soft sand that feels unreal underfoot. Along the way we explain why the Gulf looks like glass while the Pacific throws real surf, and how seashells sculpt the sand beneath your toes. Aviation nerds get their candy too: a laptop slips into an aircraft sidewall and the crew diverts for one reason—lithium battery fire risk where no one can reach. We swap war stories about lost earbuds, rescued hearing aids, and a diamond bracelet hiding in a seat track. Then we zoom out: airlines feeding unpaid controllers during a shutdown, U.S.–Mexico route politics, and why a 6.1% mortgage rate isn’t the apocalypse once you remember the 7s and 10s. We close with a troubling diversion after a passenger used a fork as a weapon—and a plea for basic self-control at altitude.

If this mix of real-world aviation, smart travel tips, and Gulf Coast beach joy hits your frequency, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who needs a vacation plan. Tell us your favorite Florida beach and why it tops your list.

SPEAKER_01: 0:00

I got a PSA for airport bathrooms. Oh no, what happened? Men, wash your damn hands. I swear. 80% of you guys don't wash your hands walking out of the bathroom. You guys are straight out nasty.

SPEAKER_02: 0:13

Gee, tell us how you really feel. Meanwhile, I've been renovating my garage and watching some intense films. Oh yeah, what'd you watch? House of Dynamite with Rebecca Ferguson and Ibris Elba. Took me right back to my military days, especially those brief phone calls, no explanation. Really hit home with our job. That's real. Alright, today we're talking Florida beaches because the weather changes and we need some sunshine.

SPEAKER_01: 0:42

From Siesta Beach's cool court stand to Anna Marie Island's hidden gems. And then the laptop fell into cargo hold and round the flight. Airlines are feeding unpaid aircraft controllers during the shutdown. And the U.S. just devotees 15 Mexican carrier rates. Also, mortgage rates of 6.12%. Probably not. But seriously first demands a damn hand.

SPEAKER_02: 1:39

This is Sean. That was impressive. You are in the house with Sean and G. That was boring. That is so boring.

SPEAKER_01: 1:52

That is so boring.

SPEAKER_02: 1:54

Dude, I got boring stuff going on right now, man. I got a garage renovation happening right now. My last piece of my uh big projects happening. I can't wait till it's all done. I don't think I've come over here one time and you haven't had shit going on. Dude, I'd be like, Lily, I told you, like the Carol and I are like gearing up for retirement.

SPEAKER_01: 2:17

I could see even when I was coming down the street and there was a van. There was a van. I seen a van all the way down the street. I was like, that's his house.

SPEAKER_02: 2:23

That's his house. Something's happening. Something's happening at Sean's house.

SPEAKER_01: 2:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 2:28

Dude, but you know, I'm telling you, every man out there, every person, anybody, man, that loves organization, like loves to have a clean garage. And I haven't had a crimp clean garage in 25 years. Like it's always been just like garage is that place that like you just start stacking shit, right? You just start storing, put, put stuff out there, put it it starts getting into somewhat of an organization and stuff. But if you don't have like your shit organized, like have cabinets and all that stuff installed, which most people don't. You know, you haven't had it up to this point. Yeah, I haven't had it. I haven't had that. I've always had like bought some shelves, put some stuff on the shelves. You just got starting things, the walls start like creeping up over the years, stacking up with all kinds of shit. Have a shit that has been sitting in there for like seven years, it's hard. Dude, I was like, so I got these cabinets being installed in my garage right now to like clean it up. This is the last. I had the floors done, now I'm doing the cabinets. So everything when you pull in the garage is gonna be like this like man cave garage.

SPEAKER_01: 3:34

I know you're putting some kind of liners in there too. I know you're gonna like those little non-stick things. We're gonna do it all up. I know it looks actually good. I mean, I'm I'm kind of jealous.

SPEAKER_02: 3:44

Yeah, I'm I am I'm looking forward to this. Anyways, they're in the process of doing it right now, and it's like, you know, when you start like I we had to like move all that out of the way, like we had to take it off the walls as it was growing up the walls. We had to take it away from the walls today. And it was like like, I'm like, half the shit I need to throw away. Wait a minute, I don't need these cabinets, I don't need this much cabinet, I got too many cabs. What do you got? Too many cabinets now? Right you just I'm gonna have to find shit to put in it because I'm gonna have to throw away, I was throwing away shit. And the crazy thing was like last night was garbage day. So it was like, oh yeah, I don't need this shit. No, have not looked at this or touched this in 10 years. And next week you're gonna need that shit. Yeah, I'm gonna be like, where did I do that? What happened through that damn thing away? What happened to those furry golf balls that I used to have? I'm not even gonna go there.

SPEAKER_01: 4:39

Why would you have furry golf balls?

SPEAKER_02: 4:43

I'm just like, you know, you get them, you get this shit all and just collects up. It's crazy. I don't have any furry golf balls. Yeah, man. I had I had like I had I had like teas and like gifts from like previous golf tournaments from like like other airlines. Like it was crazy, man. I had all this, all kinds of like paraphernalia stuff. Like I was like, why do I have all this? I've not touched this.

SPEAKER_01: 5:06

The greatest feeling is when you clean shit out. I mean, you start just throwing a bunch of shit away.

SPEAKER_02: 5:11

Yeah. I mean, normally that's like a spring thing. Like everybody's doing the spring thing, and I and I did. This spring I did. I did a lot of cleaning up, but right now it's like I'm just at the end cap of like finally got everything around my whole house done, the yards done, the freaking garage is done, my deck is done. Like now it's like next year. The last this last piece is of work is the garage, right? The cabinets, and then I think in two weeks we have some patio furniture coming, which the Amish made. Highly recommend anybody that wants patio furniture, check out those Amish dudes, they're good. Yeah. The other thing, man, that happened was I watched one of the most intense movies that took me straight back to my military days, This House of Dynamite. Have you seen this yet? No, dude. I'm uh look, listen, everybody that's out there, if you want some exhilarating shit, and I don't care who you are, you don't even have to be ex-military. If you wanted some exhilarating shit that takes you back to Cold War days, that nuclear, like we lived it. We've lived this in our lifetime. Like there was a time in our life where it was like, is there gonna be a nuclear attack? Right? Right. Like that was like an everyday feeling for us when we were a kid, right? When we were younger, like that was like, you know, the detente of you know, that whole nuclear thing was happening. But this new movie is the perspective of like all of a sudden there's a freaking nuclear missile coming at the United States, and what are we gonna do about it? And it goes through this perspective of like everything that's supposed to happen. Like, well, you know, like president gets involved, and they got the football, and the football has all the codes to the nuclear launch codes and all that stuff. Like they go through that whole entire scenario from the guys that are in the silos that are shooting off you know rockets to intercept those nuclear missiles and stuff like that. But what it took for me was what made it so real for me was like I have that previous previous experience in the military of working around all that stuff and being in those like command centers and seeing all that nuclear, like uh how we protect the United States and how this whole thing shakes out. It's a cool movie, it's pretty, it's pretty realistic. And um, I'm not gonna do a spoiler alert or anything like that, like tell anybody any more about the movie than it, but it is so intense, and it it it goes all, I mean, it just keeps going, and you're gonna be on the edge of your seat. I mean, you're gonna have a visceral reaction to this movie. And there's just nobody watching this. If you don't, you're not human. So where'd you watch it on? Where'd you talk about? Where did you see it? I mean in my home theater. There's a big screen with a projector, and then I sat in this chair and I watched it. Oh, you're talking about the channel I saw it on. What it was on? Like Netflix? I I'm looking for something to hit on that. I believe it was Netflix. You knew exactly what I was asking you. The movie is House of Dynamite. Google it, people.

SPEAKER_01: 8:30

See, okay, but see, everybody would have wanna know. Hey, it was on Netflix. I believe it was on Netflix, yeah. See, and you had to do your little smart ass thing, right? You couldn't just go, hey gee, it's on Netflix. Everyone out there enjoyed that. I watched it on my uh my big screen TV and I did this. Yeah, it's smart ass. I like hit the remote on. Yeah, whatever. Now I ain't watching it just because you wouldn't even tell me it was on Netflix.

SPEAKER_02: 8:54

I'm gonna tell you right now, it was one of the most freaking emotional, crazy movies I've watched in a long time. And I mean, I got on the edge of my seat and I was like, whoa. This, I mean, this will get your heart racing, get you like the whole thing. But here's the other thing that tied into the the movie, okay, that I thought was, and and when you watch it, just pay attention to this little bit thing. Every time, and and now I'm back to airlines, every time we're in a situation where you're feeling threatened by this is a life and death thing that's getting ready to happen. What's the first thing that people do? The first thing that people do and anybody, I don't care who it is. What's a normal reaction when you're in a life-threatening situation? Most people they'll run. They'll run, but a lot of people want to call their loved ones. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I get that. So like 9-11. Yeah. How many like all the recordings? How many people like on the planes try to get the colour?

SPEAKER_01: 10:02

Oh, you mean you mean when when they're gonna die, when they oh that last moment of death.

SPEAKER_02: 10:06

That's what I mean by like there's a life-threatening thing.

SPEAKER_01: 10:10

So no, a life-threatening thing could be someone coming at you and you running in the opposite direction. If you're saying that that it's not a good thing.

SPEAKER_02: 10:19

No, they're thinking they're thinking like life is over here in uh soon, and what is what am I gonna do about it? Not them defending themselves. That's a little bit different explanation. But this movie goes heavily into that and pay attention to that when you're watching it. It is it's pretty interesting how you like you know that uh just like you're talking about that flight or fight reaction. Like, am I am I going to react like this and I'm gonna freaking try to like solve it and keep doing what I need to do, do my job, or am I going to call collapse and try to and and and give up? Nope. Right? Yeah, I get it. So it was it's a dude, it your mind's gonna be like spinning on this movie. Check it out. House of Dynamite.

SPEAKER_01: 11:02

I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna actually watch this one.

SPEAKER_02: 11:05

Yeah, and the and the other thing about it too is um my girl Rebecca Ferguson's in it. Those Swedish actors. I'm gonna tell you right now. She's she's my favorite flavor right now. She's like, she's like hit me like uh like four or five times. Like she's she was in Dune, love that. She was in MI5, love that. She was in Silo, the new that show that's on uh Apple. Dude, I love that. Can't wait till next season happens. I mean, that is like the best of the best. And she just she just continues to put out just great shows and stuff. And then I Ibris Elba's in it, which is uh if you don't know who he is, Google him. I mean, Ibris Elba is a solid career actor. He is really good, dude. But anyways, check that movie out. What's been happening with UG?

SPEAKER_01: 13:03

I'm still getting getting over uh the way that you explain everything. Anyway, uh No, I I I'm gonna be doing a little bit of uh a little bit of man bashing this week. Man bashing? Yeah, a little bit. Who? Just men in general, man. You get they they gotta do a little bit better. All right. All right. Uh so you ever fly with one a guy like um he just he all he does is he talks about like who he slept with, who he's been with.

SPEAKER_02: 13:31

Dude, when I was 20. When you're 20. Yeah, that's that's adolescent shit.

SPEAKER_01: 13:37

Like, this is No, I know, but but it does it just drives you nuts.

SPEAKER_02: 13:41

I mean, I I I'm I'm 60 years old, and most 60-year-olds are talking about. We ain't talking about like, oh man, I had a hundred women.

SPEAKER_01: 13:49

But you you get this person that they'll sit there and they'll tell you this and they'll and you're looking at them the whole time, you know that they're full of shit.

SPEAKER_02: 13:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 13:56

You're like, you you you probably only went out with a girl because your sister, you know, set you up and and and her friend owed her one.

SPEAKER_02: 14:04

Or he paid for it.

SPEAKER_01: 14:06

Exactly. Because I'm I'm looking at this guy and I'm like, you're you're full of shit.

SPEAKER_02: 14:10

Right.

SPEAKER_01: 14:10

He's just telling me all these stories, right, about different women and everything. And you look at him just like the whole time going, uh uh.

SPEAKER_02: 14:18

First of all, like I'm I'm I'm in the going recessing back here in my you know male history. Like, there's a certain time in life, like when we were younger and all this stuff, and like that conversation and talking about, you know, hot chicks and you know, getting our testosterone all worked up and blah blah blah, and talking about that type of stuff, you know, was like could be exciting. Right. But at our age, it's like we're old, really? Yeah, we're old. Dude, I mean give a shit about how many people mean women use screwed.

SPEAKER_01: 14:53

Right. And and and you're sitting there and and they're going on and on about, oh my god, there's so many so many women that I lost track. And and I was sitting there thinking, I said, the only reason that you lost track is because it's probably so fast as you're a one-minute man. So you know, you know what I mean? I mean a little stud muffin. But you know, I'm I'm listening to this person, and the whole time I'm sitting there looking at him, like, you know, you're you're just full of shit. Yeah, you gotta wonder, like, why are they telling you this? Like, I mean, that's no, I was wondering, you know, I looked at him uh through all these stories, I'm like, you know, I don't even want to have that visual of you with anybody. Right? I mean, that's just a that's just that alone is bad.

SPEAKER_02: 15:34

Yeah, that's an aspect of the conversation where you're like, yeah, that's not a visual I need to know.

SPEAKER_01: 15:39

Okay, so you have to think about you have this guy, he's sitting there talking all this, right? And and a lot of women know this type of person, okay? Manspreading. Yeah, we talked about this, right? Manspreading on a jump seat drives me crazy.

SPEAKER_02: 15:54

Anywhere jump seats horrible, but manspreading anywhere, man, in the on a pasture seat, and it doesn't matter where you are. If you're if you're supposed to be sharing another uh space with somebody, manspreading is not cool.

SPEAKER_01: 16:10

No, no, here it's not, it's not cool. It's not cool at all. And and I I was the whole time, like I said, I was I was sitting there looking at him thinking that I'm completely wasting like 25 minutes of my life right now listening to your bullshit.

SPEAKER_02: 16:23

And so this is another was this a flight attendant on a jump seat you were talking to? Yes, okay. Another another flight attendant on a jump seat. This is galley chatter, you know. This is the things that we talk about in the galley when they're when there's not women in the galley.

SPEAKER_01: 16:37

Yeah. Yeah. And and I I wanted my 25 minutes back. But anyway, he he he was going on and on. And the whole time, okay, I'm thinking you manspread, which women hate. Right. You talk about like how many women you have, women hate it. Right. And you got dragon breath. Oh shit. So I want anybody, please send me, send me a message that if you like dragon breath, that that actually turns you on. If that turns you on, hey, send us an email because I'll I'll send you this guy's name.

SPEAKER_02: 17:09

Oh shit, please. Mr. Halitosis, please stop. Right. Okay, so so not only is he talking to you, he's he's got this freaking dragon breath bad, and you're trying to get him to stop talking, and he's trying to go on and on and on about his uh his uh conquers of life, and and you're like, I'm not interested in anything you're saying right now.

SPEAKER_01: 17:31

No, it's like that pungent thing, you know it creeps up your nostrils, and it just like hits inside. Yeah, that's called halatosis. It was creeping, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 17:39

It was nasty, stanky, really bad, funky bacteria teeth. Yep, yeah. Your teeth are rotting, dude. Oh, I forgot to tell you, good morning. Your teeth are rotting.

SPEAKER_01: 17:48

Exactly. Lots of dates that way. Lots of dates. If you like I said, if you guys are interested, and all the girls wanted them. Yeah, let me know. I'll I'll send you, I'll send you uh his bio. All right, other one, airport bathrooms. I said this before, I'm gonna say it again. Here we go again in and out, in and out of bathrooms. I'm gonna tell you this, and I want the guys to listen because I'm straight out tired of every single time I go in there. 80% of you guys don't wash your flippin' hands when you come out of the bathroom. Nasty. That is disgusting. 80%. I mean, you just walk right by the freaking uh the right by the sink, soap, wash your damn hands. That is that's the most disgusting thing.

SPEAKER_02: 18:27

It's disgusting, man. Dude, I I was just in the you know, we drove back and forth uh Indiana and all this stuff, and we we have this like favorite like truck stop we stop at. These truckers come here, man, they're like showering in the sinks and shit. That's so gross that is so in a freaking truck stop bathroom. They're like, you know, blowing their nose and freaking picking their face, looking in the mirror and all that shit, like all kinds of yeah, dude, all that shit. Like right there in this public bathroom, you're like, ugh. Yeah. And then you know what this is a funny thing that happened too. So in that same bathroom, I go in there and you know, step up to like the 15 urinals that are all lined up there, and then the bottom of the freaking urinal, right, dude, somebody had crumped up this little piece of paper, and you look down, and it looks like looks like a crumpled up$100 bill. And it's and people have been pissing on it. But if somebody had somebody had photoshoot copied a freaking hundred dollar bill, crumpled up, and threw it in the bottom of the urinal, hoping somebody's gonna pick that shit up. That's gross. I literally it uh it gave me one pause. Like I turned the corner, I looked down, I'm like, damn, is that a hundred dollar bill?

SPEAKER_01: 19:44

And you know somebody did, and it looked like look at dude. That one person probably did wash his hands. I'm sorry, I I had to beat up on our gender a little bit today because I mean have having to deal with having to deal with that on the jump seat and then having to walk through the airports and see that, yeah. I I'm like, I I understand why women don't like us sometimes. Yeah, man. A lot of times.

SPEAKER_02: 20:09

They're so nasty. Don't be you can't be nasty and be like wanting to like cohabitate with uh the opposite sex. Yeah. Or with the same sex, or whatever you're into. But just you can't be nasty. You yeah, that that was just nasty.

SPEAKER_01: 20:24

But I was talking to I was talking to a flight attendant, and uh we got in this conversation uh and and we were talking about what actually changed um the the uh sex discrimination in the airline industry with women. Which years ago. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 20:42

So you're talking about what got rid of the hot pans and the sexy flight attendants that used to be flying around in the middle.

SPEAKER_01: 20:47

No, no, no, no. That before we're gonna get to that too. But um no, the it was the McDonald lawsuit. Now, this was a lawsuit that was um that actually changed the airline industry forever. It was back in the 1960s and early 70s. And what were they changing? It was the the sexist employment policies for flight attendants, and and back then, you know, we were called st stewardess, stewy. Stewardesses.

SPEAKER_02: 21:12

Right, wasn't it was like uh back then it was only female, right? But and and you couldn't be married. So there was no male. No. Period. You had to be hot and sexy and single.

SPEAKER_01: 21:22

Yeah. Not you. That don't fly today. But no, it it it was just you had to be unmarried. And what uh and what happened as soon as they got married, they got fired. Wow. So she was so this uh last name McDonald went and she fought and uh and and got uh this this change, it got the lost change. And what it was is that it was uh it was uh several attendants sued under the title of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans employment discrimination based on sex. Well, that makes sense. That's how me and you got it. They won. Yeah, they did.

SPEAKER_02: 22:01

And and Sean and G got a career.

SPEAKER_01: 22:04

So it was the end of the discriminatory no marriage rule. So they what what it was is that they tried to only make it for this specific person and it ended up being a class action. So that what they had to do is there was a group they had to actually hire them back that give them the option of coming back to work. So I imagine they had to go through training and everything, but they they they had the right to come back and and work as flight attendants again. As it should be. Yeah. And then uh then, then there's me and you, the evolution, the evolution, yeah. So I was I was like, oh, this is kind of fun because you you go from this and then you get into the evolution of what a flight attendant used to be like.

SPEAKER_02: 22:46

Yeah. Nurses, yeah, sexy, right, single women. The training was unbelievable. You know, they encouraged you to flirt with the passengers. Yep. Right. It was all about it was very sexism.

SPEAKER_01: 23:01

They had the yeah, they had they had the um the the silver trays, the lined linens, everything. Right. Right. I mean, uh you you had to be a nurse. Yep. Professionalism, your hair, makeup, your weight.

SPEAKER_02: 23:17

Yeah, all that stuff. You know what fascinates me about this whole thing that you're talking about is like so that history happened here in the United States, but that history still goes on in the world. Right. So a lot of people don't realize that in our in our business. Like when we're talking about these other other countries and stuff, like the United States, we have all these rules and laws about you know discrimination, whereas n a lot of countries don't hire flight attendants, they contract them. Right. So many, many of the carriers that are out there that people like enjoy.

SPEAKER_01: 23:53

Yeah. They stay on compounds, actually.

SPEAKER_02: 23:56

Yeah, they are contracted and at a certain age they're dismissed. Yeah, they're gone. Yeah, they're you're gone. You can't work in these specific airlines past a certain age. So they got this same same type of thing happening.

SPEAKER_01: 24:10

It's actually really crazy. If if people really knew, like on the on the international carriers, how it works, yeah, they they would just be blown away.

SPEAKER_02: 24:18

Well, tell them about some of it. Just like like, I mean, it is like there are airlines out there in the world right now where when a flight attendant goes to work, she has to line up in a line like in a military style and be inspected by the pilots.

SPEAKER_01: 24:34

Oh yeah. Well, they they are there's also there's also they they got to show up like um four hours prior to a flight. Then they have to go through this whole check-in system, then they have to go to through a an appearance regimen to where they have to walk into a room, they're they're checked for every little bitty thing that that and if any part of their uniform, any part of their makeup, their hair is out of place, it's is immediately fixed. Their bags are taken from them, they're they're put into a container because they don't want them their bags with them. They only want one small uh bag with them. Whatever they need, require duty items. Right. Then they go in and they have a briefing room with their crew. Then they get positioned assigned to them in that briefing room. Right. Then after that briefing, they're required to go to another briefing with their pilots. Then they have that briefing, then they have to go into the airplanes and start their this is all four hours out. Yeah. Before before they're before the flight even leaves.

SPEAKER_02: 25:34

But the the phenomenal thing about that whole thing, that story is that this isn't actually happening in the world right now. Right. Like this is like in the United States, we have all these great laws that protect all this stuff and give us the ability to have these uh privileges to do all these different jobs now and stuff, whereas we have we were there and realized our ways were bad. Right. And then now, you know, these other countries, there's these third world countries and stuff, they still are doing this stuff.

SPEAKER_01: 26:03

Yeah. You go into their bathrooms on an airplane and they're spotless.

SPEAKER_02: 26:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 26:06

Right? There's no there's nothing on the floor. You go into ours, it looks like the marathon station.

SPEAKER_02: 26:13

It does, man. You ain't getting down there and cleaning. You know what the crazy stuff about that? Like you're talking about the bathrooms, like that that last trip I was on, dude. The first thing that happened on the flight was the bathroom. The bathroom theft was happening. You know how we have all the extra nice lotions and face sprays and stuff on the like some like as soon as the plane took off, somebody went there and cleared it all out. Yeah, it's gone. Stole everything. First person is like, I'm just gonna stick in my pocket. Unbelievable.

SPEAKER_01: 26:43

Yeah, man, it's crazy. But I mean, this is these are all happening. But we do have I I I tell you on that, you know, on the on those wide body planes, we do have an incredible stain remover in there. Have you ever have you ever used that? I have not used it. Let me tell you something. The stain remover, I'm not telling you to remove it, but the stain remover that's on those planes is really, really good. Really good. So, yeah, don't take it out unless you need it. Right. But it's in there. You don't have to keep it, just use it. So, anyway, we're gonna go on. So, we had the glamorous life of the professional uh revered nurses that they and then we came on to this one. The 70s started the hot pants. Yeah, many skirts. You gotta move your tail, go, go boots. That's right. Sky sluts have hit the air. Yep.

SPEAKER_02: 27:33

You got it. Right? They were hanging on the wings and the engines, the Nancy Sinatras of the airway. Yep.

SPEAKER_01: 27:40

That was it, man. Those that would that was a hot era, man.

SPEAKER_02: 27:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 27:47

That was very now. I couldn't imagine you in no go-go boots. Dude, you don't want to see that. Nope. Nope. That's a nightmare. But yeah, the 70s, the hot pants, yeah. And then after that, we went into the business traveler. Because, you know, we usually that's about time me and you came in. Right. Business traveler, right? Gotta have the suit, tie, everything, sharp, you know, dress it all up. Everybody come to the airport, dressed up, yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 28:12

All that stuff. Family travel. Yeah. It was a little wholesome place.

SPEAKER_01: 28:16

We had to get weighed in.

SPEAKER_02: 28:18

It was kind of like a little privilege to fly.

SPEAKER_01: 28:20

Did you have to get weighed? Were you were you hired then? Mm-mm. Okay. I was still hired.

SPEAKER_02: 28:24

You just stopped it when I started. Like they had just because I thought I wasn't going to make it because you know I'm 6'2. Yeah. And they were like, the cutoff was like 6'1. I was like, uh. How tall are you? Six one?

SPEAKER_01: 28:36

Yeah, six one. Yeah. Just shrunk down. Oh, you're you're you're kind of shrunk down. Yeah, you kind of like slumped down. Pulled your neck down. Pull your neck down a little bit. No neck. You look like a turtle. Squat squatted a little bit. Oh my God. Yeah. Well, when we got when we got hired, we we had to we had to get weighed. You had to, you had to you had to fit the uniform. There's no way you were gonna get hired and uh and you didn't fit the uniform.

SPEAKER_02: 29:00

Yeah, they weighed us when we first got hired. Like um when I first got like hired, they I remember them putting us on the scale and saying, you know, but you guys saw the picture on Facebook. You know, we weren't weighing too much back then.

SPEAKER_01: 29:14

No. No, we didn't have any problems. They were having fun with that picture, too. Right. We are so doing a do-over. I told you. We'll get into that. Don't get off subject. Yeah, we're gonna do that. But anyway, uh, so the next era we went into, which my favorite, the relaxed sweater era. Oh, he is a sweater guy. I you know something when we started this era and it started a while ago. He and Mr. Rogers were. I, yep, you ain't shitting. I love I love my Mr. Rogers sweater. I've said it a thousand times. I do not go anywhere without my sweater. Perfect. And he likes to talk to Trolley. That's okay. I like Mr. Rogers. It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood. Don't you know? What was the king? What was the king's name? King Solomon. Solomon. No, it's Sunday? King Sunday. Sunday? Something like that. Yeah. But I like Miss, I I like Mr. Rogers. Now. So we go from the sweater era. Now, the new era. Well, you show up like you're serving chicken at a family reunion with name tags that say, Hi, my name's Bob. Yep. You are now all Friday's employees. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02: 30:24

Extensive array of hairs, pins, buttons, whatever you want to do on, you know. Do it all.

SPEAKER_01: 30:32

Big changes. Yeah. Right? Big changes. Now everybody's got to have their damn they they gotta have their name on them.

SPEAKER_02: 30:39

Yeah. Everybody has to have a freaking name. That doesn't bother me.

SPEAKER_01: 30:46

I've gotten over it, but I mean I at first I didn't know.

SPEAKER_02: 30:48

At first I was like, you know, I don't want people to know my name, but it doesn't really it never bothers me because when when people get mad at me or they're like, I'm gonna write you up, or like you know, whatever, we're having a disagreement, usually they're they're in the wrong. Right. But I'm like, you No, here, please make sure you spell my name right because it's Sean S-H-A-W-N, not S-E-A-N.

SPEAKER_01: 31:09

Do you know what it drives me nuts about our wings though? What's that? Well, I mean, all my diamonds have fallen out. They just fall. Like they're like holes. I mean, I think I got like one diamond left in one sapphire. Oh, yeah. Like every other one is fallen out.

SPEAKER_02: 31:26

That's terrible, man.

SPEAKER_01: 31:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 31:27

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01: 31:28

So we went through this whole era, and that's why I said I love the whole um the whole change of of of what Flight Attendants started and then where we're at today. What's next?

SPEAKER_02: 31:41

Who knows, man? Maybe we'll be around. We need to upgrade it, the whole thing. Like we need to like shift from Fridays to back to like, you know, Morton's or something. There needs to be a shift, but I don't think it's gonna happen anymore. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01: 31:57

Let's let's keep away from the hairnets. I don't know if that would be a good look for me and you. Well, you know that hey, the weather has been changing, it's getting cooler, right? We know we know we know winter's coming. It's right around the corner. That's why I wanted to go to Cabo.

SPEAKER_02: 32:13

Right? So let's talk beaches. Dude, now I'm gonna be like, I wanted to go to Cabo so bad. Dude. Beaches are now you got golf. You had golf, right? Now I'm going to golf. Right. Anyways, um yeah, beaches, man. Talk, let's talk about those. Uh Florida beaches. Beaches known for their sand. Siesta Beach, Florida. I love Siesta Beach. You've been to all these beaches. Like a f I've only been to a couple of these beaches on this list. That's one thing I love about Florida. Florida has some of the nicest beaches. They're all different. Yep, they are. Like, I will tell you, like what's your like favorite area of Florida in? I'm not talking about a beach. I'm talking about like if you take the whole big peninsula of stretching down Florida, the state, and you go all the beaches around Florida, like what side of Florida, east, west, golf, north, south, west, golf side. Where the golf size is is your favorite side? Absolutely. Yeah, like whereabouts in the Gulf.

SPEAKER_01: 33:20

If I would say if if if I was going anywhere, anywhere, if I chose anywhere in Florida to go to for a vacation, it would be Anna Marie Island. Anna Marie Island. Yeah. I mean, without a doubt. There's a lot of nice beaches there. Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, there's so many different little beaches around there, but that is like the best place to go, just relax.

SPEAKER_02: 33:42

Yeah. I like, well, I always like a relaxed vacation, first of all. That's it. Just chill out, do what you want to do, no worries, just be you for a week or so.

SPEAKER_01: 33:55

But the cool thing about the Florida beaches, though, they're it's big family-oriented beaches. Right. I mean, you know, it's not like this. I mean, Clearwater years ago, back in the 80s, right? When I when I first moved down there, that's like I remember when I first moved down there, yeah, and and uh and Hooters just opened up. I just got down to Florida. Clearwater used to have the Jose Cuervo classic all the all down there on the beach. And we used to go to the holiday.

SPEAKER_02: 34:22

Spring break in its prime. Exactly. That's when it first started. That's what we were we were the starting population of all that stuff.

SPEAKER_01: 34:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 34:29

And then like generations came through and ruined it all, and now they freaking ban them all from doing all kinds of stuff. But that we were in the prime of it. We were the we were the videos. What were those uh what were those uh crazy videos that were out that you buy like hot girls? What was a what was the thing? Girl, girls girls. Girls gone wild. Yeah, girls gone wild. Yeah, and they would like take those peach, those, uh, all those different beaches and spots like that. That was the prime of it all.

SPEAKER_01: 34:57

Yeah. I mean, when we uh I remember when I used to take my dogs down the beach all the time, too. You just let them run. Oh yeah. Now, now well, because you clean up after them, and now people uh they ruin that too. Right. But Clearwater Beach, man, oh man, white sand. If for it, I mean you just keep walking.

SPEAKER_02: 35:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 35:15

Just keep walking. I mean, and there's so many cool little places to go, and like if you want to stop in and have a drink or something, or something to eat, or a sandwich, you can just walk right up, and there's there's a bunch of little places right along the right along the beach.

SPEAKER_02: 35:28

I love like dockside, beach side, any of those type of places where you can just like eat on the water, those are always my favorite places to go.

SPEAKER_01: 35:38

Right.

SPEAKER_02: 35:39

Doesn't matter where I'm going on vacation. If I'm normally I go vacation where there's water, and where we're water's water, I want to be like kind of restaurant that's like by the water.

SPEAKER_01: 35:47

That's the way that's right. So so let's go. I mean, talk about the Anna Marie Beaches. You have the the it's a Bean Point Beach. The highlights of that, it has a panoramic view of both the Gulf of America and Tampa Bay, making it a prime spot for watching sunsets. I love the sunsets over the ocean. Oh, it's beautiful, man. Right? I mean, those are absolutely gorgeous. And then you have Manatee Public Beach. It's uh also has uh it has restrooms, it has picnic areas, and all these the great thing is all family. Everything is family-oriented. So you can, I mean, so take the kids down there, you're gonna have a great time. You're gonna have a great time.

SPEAKER_02: 36:27

A day at the beach, that was like growing up, that was like the a thing to do. Like on the weekend, let's let's go to the beach. Like I was out in California growing up, and let's go to the beach. We would like drive over from the valley and go over to like Santa Cruz and stuff and go go to the beach. We did the spend the whole weekend up at the beach, you know. That that was like the family thing, just laying out on the beach.

SPEAKER_01: 36:50

When we were young, it was Daytona. Daytona was like the big place to go, right? Okay, and we didn't know about all these other ones. These other beaches are so much nicer. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They are, they're so much nicer. I mean, and and on the golf side, man, they got beautiful, beautiful beaches.

SPEAKER_02: 37:07

I'm not a huge um, and I'm not trying to offend anybody out there, but I'm not a huge Atlantic beach guy. No, me neither. Because in and we're talking about like, you know, there's no first of all, like there's no waves. Like there's just not waves. Like I grew up on the Pacific uh side, mostly seeing that in the beginning of my life. And you know, the Pacific's got some real waves. I'm talking about waves, killer waves, you know, at times. And it that's what I thought an ocean was. Like I every time you would say, Oh, let's go to the ocean, go to the beach. That's what I thought. I'd walk up the beach, I'd see giant waves. Right. Right? Yeah. And I got to Atlantic the first time, and I said, Flat. Where's the ocean? Because this looks like a lake.

SPEAKER_01: 37:55

Yeah, it's like a big extended lake.

SPEAKER_02: 37:57

Yeah, it's like sometimes like it's calm. Right. I'm like, I didn't know oceans get calm like this. Yeah, it was flat. Yeah, it was wild, wild. It was just like the opposite. So basically, I guess if you if you're looking at this geographically speaking, like that must be how the beaches are over in like Japan or you know, that that side of the world, because you know, the Pacific side, the western side of the Pacific is the you know, North American coast and Asian coast over there, so they must not have giant waves over there, unless they got tsunamis coming in.

SPEAKER_01: 38:32

But when you go, when you go on these beaches and you go on the Atlantic side like that, and then you come from like clear water, clear water, you see the white sand. Yeah. And you come to the other one, it's like a gray. Yeah. Right? Right. And you're like, well, this one's and it's not, but you're looking at this one as like this is dirty. Yeah. Right? I mean, you look at you look at clear water, you're gonna think, man, that's a clean beach.

SPEAKER_02: 38:54

Yeah. I mean, there's it's interesting how how the whatever the the animals in the ocean make up the beaches, what's in the beach, right? So the the shell, fish, and the different things that are in the ocean make up what's out there. That's what sand is, all broken up shells and crushed up.

SPEAKER_01: 39:14

Anne Marie Island, man. I when we were younger, Sean, we used to go down there and we used to dive it probably eight to ten feet down, probably a little farther, some of them, but we go down there and uh sand dollars. Oh, sand dollars are everywhere. Yeah, we used to go down, go down and and you go dive down there and get sand dollars. Yeah, that's cool. Bleach really cool ones. Yeah. Well, you know, some of them, I mean, only only a couple of them because you know, I didn't like I don't it's not really you're doing anything with them. Right, right. So I don't I don't like taking away from like the nature and stuff. I mean, I like to go down there and see them and then you know you kind of look at them and then put them back. But no, I don't I mean, as far as bleaching them, no, not really. I mean, I was never into that because I wasn't doing anything with them. What are you gonna do? You set that shit on the s on the on the shelf? You put some sand in a little glass thing, you put some shells in it.

SPEAKER_02: 40:02

I'll just put it back on the side. These are my memories of this beach. Right. That's what people do. They collect sand and put them in their house in a little cup and be like, oh, I want a vacation right here. This is some sand. Clear water was amazing.

SPEAKER_01: 40:15

Yeah, it was amazing. I took this from it. So also you have Coquina Beach, Bradenton. I love Bradenton. Yeah, you've been in Bradenton area? I haven't been to any of these beaches. Yeah, Bradenton is is amazing too. All these areas in Florida now are so grown up over the years. I mean, there's so much uh so much growth everywhere. But they still, these beaches are still amazing. Bradenton Beach is still it's amazing too. I haven't met a beach that I didn't like, first of all. Well, especially on that side of the that side of the um on that side of the state.

SPEAKER_02: 40:47

Yeah. Really good. Yeah. You know, you know, the beach I like is up north in Florida, which is Destin. Yeah. Dude, I'm never you're talking about amazing, amazing, amazing sand. Yep. The sand is like powder. I had never ever experienced that in my life until I got to Destin. I was like, and I'd been all the way up, like from now from Destin all the way down the coast, going all the way through Tampa, clear water, going to Fort Myers, you know, all the way down and freaking into the keys, you know, and you look at all those different beaches and stuff and how the sand changes and stuff. That beach up there in north, like the Pensacola Destin, dude, such nice sand. It is beautiful.

SPEAKER_01: 41:34

So we talked about all the nice beach areas, the nice white sand. Now, if you were going for if you were going to party in nightlife, yeah, where?

SPEAKER_02: 41:46

Back in the day, clear water, right? Okay, yeah, but now if I was going to party, you're going to South Beach. South Beach. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, really, most of the beaches have like chilled out now. Did you ever go did you ever go out there when you were young?

SPEAKER_01: 42:01

South Beach? I never did the South Beach. I did Fort Lauderdale, though. Man, I did I used to do that South Beach um nightlife. That was freaking crazy back then.

SPEAKER_02: 42:10

Oh, all the Florida nightlife, man, was just nuts. Dude, the stuff that went on in those beaches at night crazy. Crazy.

SPEAKER_01: 42:21

It was, it was, man. But you know, the thing is, South Beach never changes. I mean, it is a party spot, um, lots of money. Uh, if you're gonna go take a lot of money, yeah, you're gonna need it.

SPEAKER_02: 42:32

Yeah. Now you're definitely gonna need it. I mean, it is not cheap. Back in our day.

SPEAKER_01: 42:37

Any of those, any of these places that me and Sean talked about, man, I go. If you've never been, but trust me on this one. If you're looking for a destination that you haven't been, if you have not been to Anna Marie Island, if you have not been there, go check them out because there is so many little areas around there. You you can go there for 10 days and you will we you'll love every every one of them.

SPEAKER_02: 42:59

The coolest thing about the Florida beaches for me is that there's so many that you just you never run out of beaches. Nope. Like it's it's like I can go down and be still like I haven't been to all these beaches myself. I like you can go down to uh Florida and see new beaches and experiences. It is it's amazing, and they all are all a little different, a little different, but uh I'm still saying on the golf side.

SPEAKER_01: 43:26

Yeah. Let's go to Randall Globe, man. All right, man. Hey, a flight returned back to Dulles International Airport after a passenger's laptop fell into the cargo bin on the sidewall. I've never had that shit happen, but I I can tell you, I can understand how it happened. Yeah. Because they they they must have had they must have had a that that plastic insert well separated.

SPEAKER_02: 43:48

So like down in the planes, like sp specific models. And I know Boeings, like on the floor right there, you have all those vents. Right. Those vents are covering literally gaps in the floor that are um that go down into the side walls of the plane right down there. Right. And if those things get shifted around, which we've seen them like pastors kick the walls, whatever, and they start moving around, whatever, and they come, they get slid open. I can see how a laptop goes, you know, gets stuck down there. There's a gap. What people don't understand about the story, too, is that the biggest fear of this thing, and the reason why this flight turned around is that lithium battery fire. Absolutely. So now you got a lithium battery in the sidewall of a plane that we can't even get to.

SPEAKER_01: 44:36

Could fight that fire, that runaway would be nasty.

SPEAKER_02: 44:39

Yeah. And and here's the thing like they're getting ready to go over the ocean on this flight. So Captain made the right decision, like turn around and be like, we gotta get this, we gotta get this out of there because uh we need to keep in control of the flight.

SPEAKER_01: 44:52

Yeah, because you don't know if if that can if that computer was turned on and it overheats, sitting next to other components that are hot, then it has a runaway. Yeah, bad, that would be a bad situation.

SPEAKER_02: 45:04

Dude, you know, you and I have been on planes and we can go on on and on for nine days talking about shit people lose on the planes and cracks and crevices in the plane and lose her shit. Earbuds. Earbuds are the worst. Oh my god. Those things drop out of people's ears every day and they bounce to the craziest spots.

SPEAKER_01: 45:24

You know the craziest thing I ever found? This lady, this lady had had lost a diamond bracelet. Oh, wow. Okay. Do you know how the track of the seating with the seats are locked in? You know how that's a little rail that goes down the little rail covered up. Yeah. So she lost this bracelet and nobody can find it. Well, I'm looking, I'm looking at this thing and I'm like, where the hell this thing at? Sean, I'm not kidding you. I seen this little bitty dot, it was like a glimmer in this track. And I'm like, there's no way, man. I got a stir stick. And I pulled that stir stick and I went in there and it was the clasp. And I pulled that thing out. It was a big ass diamond bracelet, had fallen in the track of that and slid back. Wow. If it if it would have gone back just a little bit farther, I would have never seen the clasp. It would have sat in there for 20 some years. Probably that that thing would have gone to an airplane check. Airplane graveyard. Right.

SPEAKER_02: 46:15

Could have possibly, right.

SPEAKER_01: 46:17

Until they actually pulled these. I mean, somebody would have had somebody would have found something in there. Uh it's like uh a little treasure.

SPEAKER_02: 46:26

Crazy, right? I mean lots of there's lots of little unfound treasures on the plane.

SPEAKER_01: 46:31

Yeah. I mean, but the for something to fall in that little bit of track, and trust me, when Sean was telling you about the earbuds, oh my god, we every day.

SPEAKER_02: 46:39

We had an experience, G and I, where we were on a flight where a dude was sitting in first class seat and he lost his hearing aid. Yeah. Dropped out of the seat and dropped into the cracks of where like the trade table area is, yeah. And got stuck down between a little hole, little tiny hole in the seat. We're like shining a flashlight. We could see it, and we were like doing the whole, you know, stir stick maneuver and trying to get it with you know, like uh chopsticks to get that thing out of the room. And we did.

SPEAKER_01: 47:08

We did. We we came up, we came up with this little McGyver plan, man, and we got that damn thing out of there. Yeah, that was crazy. That dude was very thankful for us to that was that was actually pretty funny.

SPEAKER_02: 47:19

A little bit more than an earbud.

SPEAKER_01: 47:20

Yeah, you know what the airlines are doing though? I love this. They're stepping up, they're helping they're helping feed the air traffic controllers that are being unpaid uh and and the workers uh you know that are missing their paychecks. First time they're missing their paycheck, man.

SPEAKER_02: 47:35

They got we got to get this shit together right now. They do, man. I mean, it this is I don't I hate that they're you know, and I I don't care about the politics, honestly. I don't give shit if you're left, right, center. I don't care. When you get to a point where now you're leveraging the lives of people out here that are hardworking, running America, doing the jobs, doing what we need them to do, and now you're leveraging that to do, you know, like this is all like on principle, trying to get something done. Like just stop it.

SPEAKER_01: 48:08

And these guys, all these guys that are making decisions are getting paid, but yet all these people that we work with every single day, TSA, and these are so many good people, and I pass them every day. And you know, and this is what drives me. They got bills. They got bills, all right. They they they've got families, they've got to get gas in their cars. They they they got a bunch of stuff that they need to.

SPEAKER_02: 48:29

They need to get this shit straightened out. Yeah, this is this is it's it's so out of control right now. But you know, they need to make a law where they can't do this. They need to come back, and when they come back, make laws where you can't legally leverage the the citizens of the United States for for you know leverage purposes. That should be illegal. Yeah, it's uh that's ridiculous. I mean, for all the people that are being affected out there, I feel for you, man. Yep.

SPEAKER_01: 48:56

We see them every day. Every single day. All right, listen, the the U.S. has also revoked approval for 13 routes by Mexican carriers into the United States and canceled all combined passengers and cargo flights by Mexican Airlines to the United States from Mexico Cities, Felipe, uh, Angeles, International Airport. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 49:20

Dude, it's long I guess Mexico has been doing that to us for a while, and we've never really done anything about it. Like they were not letting us have the routes in there and just letting Mexican Airlines do this. And so they finally just said, you know, enough's enough, and they're just canceling all the flights. So uh a lot of money you're losing. Yeah. You're gonna lose a lot of money.

SPEAKER_01: 49:41

That's the best way to hit anybody is their pocket.

SPEAKER_02: 49:43

But honestly, right now, Americans don't even be traveling America to Mexico.

SPEAKER_01: 49:47

No.

SPEAKER_02: 49:47

I mean, take a take a hint from me right now. You know, if it there's stuff going on in the world and it's a threat to Americans, yeah, don't go to that area.

SPEAKER_01: 49:59

Go to Palm Springs.

SPEAKER_02: 50:00

Yeah. Gulf. Or Ohio. All right. What'd the Fed do, man? Fed cut rates, man, uh, to uh 3.754%, and uh it just dropped at uh it was up, it's down from uh four four to four point two five. And you know, the interesting thing about Fed cuts to me, like you know, everybody's talking about uh I don't know, you know, when you bought your house, when you bought your house, yeah, do you remember what the rate was when you bought your mortgage rate? What was the mortgage rate on the loan? Your first loan. It was uh 3.1. 3.1 and you bought your house? Yeah. Oh, see, that's phenomenal. And most people will say, no, like 25 years ago, in fact, when I bought this house we're sitting in right now, I think I bought that house at 7.25. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, the mortgage rates were way up there. Like I mean, it had gotten up to like closer to like 10% at one point. Right. And people weren't freaking out like they are right now. Yeah. And I just don't see it ever, ever going back to a three, three percent. So what is it? It's six point one now. So you're saying 25 years ago you found a three. No, I wasn't 20 years. I was 20. 20 years ago you found a three, it was like three, two.

SPEAKER_01: 51:16

Yeah, I'll have to check it, but I think it was like three, two.

SPEAKER_02: 51:18

Yeah, because I know like I refinanced down and finally got to a three, like I have mine was at three at one point.

SPEAKER_01: 51:26

Yeah, I think it was like three, two. Maybe I don't know, maybe it was like three, seven, five. I don't know, I'll have to check.

SPEAKER_02: 51:30

Yeah, it's been a long time. But uh, yeah, anyways, mortgage rates are gonna stay there. I mean, the the threes are not gonna be around. They they actually talked about how that that three percent was actually an anomaly, and when it did hit the market, it kind of messed all kinds of things up with uh with economics and all the stuff. The crisis was happening there because uh it didn't let the world like bounce itself out, you know. Well, I hope you're wrong. I hope you're wrong. I hope I'm wrong too, but it ain't gonna happen. I don't think it I don't think it's gonna happen. And uh 30-year mortgage rate now is at 6.12. And uh I just don't think 3% is gonna be seen for a many, many years.

Do you know uh we talk about this all the time. This is this has been an increase. You know what this person did? No, wasn't happening stabbed two 17-year-olds with a fork. For what? Don't know. They tried to eat off his plate or something? I don't know. Like I it's just, I mean, it okay, you know, they always have the the these stories, but they don't even tell you why.

SPEAKER_02: 53:12

He gotta have a little bit of time to think about this one. Dude, it was like I couldn't resist that joke, but I mean, come on, the people, you gotta stop. Control yourself. There's nothing no no reason to be stabbing people on planes with forks. Yeah, that might have made you mad. Might. Right? A bit. If he had just stabbed you with a fork. I'm gonna tell you, that would have that wouldn't have been ended well. Yeah. Yeah. Returning to uh the airport would have been one of his, he would have been happy to go back.

SPEAKER_01: 54:38

They would ask where the fork is. That's right.

SPEAKER_02: 54:42

Put it this way. Anybody seen a fork? You're gonna have to remove it. He he's not gonna be able to go through a metal detector the rest of his life. Nope.
