BED BUGS ON THE PLANE?! (New Fear Unlocked)

Ever feel phantom itches after someone whispers “bed bugs”? We kicked off with a Tokyo run that turned into a full-on bunk inspection, a jittery hotel check, and the kind of crew paranoia every frequent flyer secretly understands. From there, we went hunting for limited-edition flight attendant Pikachu plushies, only to learn the shop lived outside security—proof that airports are obstacle courses disguised as buildings.

The conversation widened into something bigger: how nostalgia travels. Kids boarding with Marvel hoodies and vintage band tees aren’t just on trend—they’re mapping identity. We traded Loki-versus-Hulk banter, laughed at Thor’s Ragnarok haircut, and talked about why certain heroes stick when times get weird. That led us into the toughest memories from growing up: learning you were poor only when the brands and school pictures said so. The pop culture, the class gaps, the travel grind—they all intersect at the gate.

Then we put on our safety hats. Turbulence injuries are almost always preventable: wear your seatbelt, keep kids seated, and read the room when carts vanish. We broke down why crews halt service, how a three-second jolt can send someone to the floor, and the quiet discipline behind keeping everyone safe when the cabin shakes. We also debunked de-icing myths—this isn’t “like a car.” Clean wings and moving surfaces protect lift and control, and yes, glycol mishaps happen if seals get sprayed. It’s messy, but it’s mandatory, and it saves engines, flights, and your schedule.

To cool down, we took a spin around the globe for some delightfully dumb crimes: an emu in cuffs, a Corvette-loaded semi heist, and Smokey Bear signs on Facebook. We wrapped with a simple charge: do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can. On board, that means buckle up and tune in. Off the plane, it means keep going, even when the big plan stalls.

If you laughed, learned, or nodded along, tap follow, share with a friend who loves travel chaos and pop culture, and leave a quick review. Your seatbelt might be loose, but your support should be snug.

G: 3:51

You just win a lottery. Dude, I started itching right away. Like I was already like, I bet oh shit, am I even gonna take a break? Right. Like I was like, it was like running through my whole mind. It was like, you know, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Like, so every time I went to sleep, then I got to do it. You feel that thing like crawling up on your neck? I got to the hotel, man. It was like I was like feeling itches that weren't even there. Like the mind started fucking with you.

Shawn: 4:13

You start looking at well, you didn't have to look at your bag, it was just in the sleep area.

G: 4:17

No, it was just like I was just like crazy. So then they're like everything like I got up there, I got to my sleep bunk, and I finally got to my break, pulled out my flashlight, and I'm like looking around, looking around.

Shawn: 4:27

Like it was you know you were like we are some bad bugs searching mugs, man. I'm telling you, man, flight attendance, that's in a hotel, though, too. Right. Do you ever fold the covers back? I mean, oh yeah, you know, you gotta look in the crease. Yeah, you gotta fold a crease back and then go into the curtains and unfold those too.

G: 4:44

I pull that sheet back. I look in that. That's what I was doing in the book. I was like pulling the sheets back, looking at all this stuff. I'm like trying to look around. And you know, the the cushions up there are dark, right? And they're dark, so it's even harder to see. It's not like some of the cushions are like light colored, so it was a it's a son of a bitch, man. It's greeby. So then the other thing that happened with on my uh my layover was uh I ran into this crew and uh she was like, I remember G. I remember G. Like I don't remember Jim Jack like when he was in his 20s.

Shawn: 5:16

Oh, yeah, a long time ago.

Shawn: 5:23

He was, yeah.

G: 5:25

He was a he was a good looking guy. This is her standing. This is her saying. She's a he was a good looking guy back then. All the girls were like dropping in, all this stuff. And she's like, but he was such an arrogant ass. What?

Shawn: 5:38

No, that was you saying that. There's no arrogance, there was no damn arrogance about me. No, hell no. There's validation. Oh, there's no arrogance about me.

G: 5:47

There was I've never been arrogant. I said, I said, oh yeah, I said that was G in the beginning. I said, that's how we clashed heads and all that stuff. I said, but now I got witness.

Shawn: 5:57

Now I could believe that with men, but I was never arrogant with women. No, I'm gonna give you it to the man because yeah, with you, yeah, absolutely. That's what you thought. Yeah, whatever. I I like the person until she just went with the arrogance part. And she told me she was like, Don't tell him that. Don't tell him I'm stretching you down. I'm coming down, man. I'm finding you.

SPEAKER_02: 6:18

I'm finding you. I'm gonna find you. I will beat it out of him. Yeah, so I was like, I was like, this is like this is this priceless.

Shawn: 6:27

Bringing me down again, aren't you? Right? Exactly. Right from the just just gotta shrink it down a little bit. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

G: 6:38

Other damn thing that happened on our on this uh last flight was I wanted to buy these Pokemon little flight attendant pilot, like stuffed animals for my nieces. Yeah, and so I get I talked to this like senior crew member that was with me a couple weeks ago, and she's like telling me, you know, oh, okay, yeah, we went over there and she bought these little things, and that's what gave me the idea about it. And so she like leads us over to the airport, and we get there early. We get there, we go through security and all this stuff, and we're walking down the concourse and she's like, This doesn't look familiar. I don't know, this doesn't look familiar. And then I'm like, Well, where's it at? We're like stopping and talking to people. We stalked talk to someone, they said, Oh, it's outside of security. Nice. I'm like, Rocket scientist, weren't you? I'm like, Motherfucker, I was so mad. I was trying not to like I was keeping that to myself, like I didn't let her know that I was mad, but I was mad because I was like, I just drew I just flew 14 hours of layover to get here. Just I wanted to buy these little Pokemons, and now it's outside. Now, isn't it crazy how long Pokemon's been going on? It's Pokemon's, it's crazy, and these are like limited edition because it's like a flight attendant, it's a uh Pikachu or whatever, yeah. That is uh captain or a flight attendant. And so I'm like, dude, I want to get these for my nieces.

Shawn: 7:56

I've got these books from when Jackson was young. I mean, all these Pokemon cards. We probably, I mean, I have no idea. They're probably worth something. Yeah, it's crazy though. I mean, how long Pokemon's been going on?

G: 8:05

Pokemon's uh um unbelievable. I mean, you go into these like game stores right now. We have that place here uh in uh Medina that's called uh uh Sweets and Geeks. Oh, that's is that the candy place? Yeah, it's the candy place. That's that's got that old candy, but that's the that's the game place, too.

Shawn: 8:21

Yeah, but man, that got some ridiculous old candy.

G: 8:25

That's the Pokemon place. You take those cards there and the Pokemon, they'll tell you everything about that Pokemon. There's so many geeks there that will tell you about all that shit. It is unbelievable.

Shawn: 8:34

Well, but the candy back to the candy, yeah, awesome. Yeah, they it is. I mean, it's got that old school candy, yeah.

G: 8:41

Old school candy and foreign candy. You can go there and get like all kinds of Japanese candy, all kinds of stuff like that.

Shawn: 8:46

And we're not even doing a plug.

G: 8:48

Right.

Shawn: 8:49

Exactly, right? It's just good, right? It's just good.

G: 8:52

It's a fun it's a fun story, yeah.

Shawn: 8:54

So, you know, Orlando was doing all that. This I love this generational thing we see on these flights all the time with the kids. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about? I mean, they they they wear these shirts like their parents.

G: 9:05

Oh, you're talking about like all the throwback attire that the kids have in the world.

Shawn: 9:09

You know, like when you were young, and say you were watching something at the time, yeah. Yeah, the Gen Z was like the Marvels. Yeah, you know what I mean?

G: 9:16

Yeah, we had like Star Wars.

Shawn: 9:18

Yeah, they had we had Star Wars. Well, Star Wars has been around for a long time.

G: 9:21

I know, but that's what we had, right?

Shawn: 9:23

But I mean it it comes back around every generation. Did you ever notice that? Oh, yeah. It's funny you just said that because Star Wars actually it regenerates.

G: 9:31

Yeah, I mean, it just continues to go on and on because a generation finds it and then they're like they're hooked because it's not like unique to it's unique to our generation that it started then, right? Yeah, but the all the new stuff and all the new new everything. Like there's all these animation shows, TV shows, spin-offs, you know, like that's that stuff is cool, and it connects them back to us.

Shawn: 9:52

Well, these kids were watching, I mean, they were wearing all these um these different shirts, and the one that had it, I love Thor. Two of them, right? Of Marvel's. Love Thor, right? Right, and Hulk. Yeah. I have I absolutely love what Marvel did, you know, at the very beginning. They just beat the shit out of everything.

G: 10:08

Yeah, but I like Loki.

Shawn: 10:09

No, wait a minute, I'm not done.

G: 10:10

They I'm I'm not done too.

Shawn: 10:12

Yeah, they they beat the shit out of Loki, though.

G: 10:15

Yeah, right? You got you have the kids that are like villain Loki. Who beat the shit out of Loki? You're right. Loki, who Thor.

unknown: 10:22

Yeah.

Shawn: 10:23

Who else? Hulk, right? Loki, right? You imbecile, bam, bam, bam, bam, right? Hulk smash.

G: 10:31

But anyway, it's funny because like all those generational shirts like that, it tells the kid like what type of personality kid like. Because I have a niece that she's like a total villain lover. She only w wears villains, right? Right? And then you had the Carols that the the mainstream that will they love Thor and Hulk.

Shawn: 10:48

So, ironic part of this, last night, guess what? I was watching what's that? That Thor with Raganaut, Ragnarok, Raganaut? Yeah, yeah. Freaking hilarious. I these there's a couple scenes in there when he gets his hair cut, he's sitting in there. Chris Hempsley's like, man, whatever you do, don't don't cut my hair, man. Don't cut my hair, and it's like this guy's machine. Yeah, and he gets all chopped up, and then Hulk is like, What happened to your hair? And he goes, He cut it off. He got that buzz cut. The comedy that they generated between these two later on.

G: 11:21

Yeah, the banter back and forth is awesome.

Shawn: 11:23

Yeah, they're in the stadium, he's like, when Hulk's coming out, they're getting him out to fight. He's out there, he's like, No, don't worry, it's my friend. Right. Right. And then they go into this whole big beating the shit out of each other.

G: 11:33

Yeah, all those, all those like uh Marvel and all those different like characters like that. I think the best part about him, I mean, yes, the storyline's kind of cool, you know, the whole you know, hero save the day thing, but it the other thing about it is the banter, like just the the razzing back and forth with the characters, right?

Shawn: 11:49

They had and then Iron Man, Downey Jr., like this this freaking whiz kid, unbelievable.

G: 11:55

I mean, the the whole story behind his Guardians of the Galaxy did the same thing, all that different stuff.

Shawn: 11:59

That's that's off the hook, man.

G: 12:01

Yeah.

Shawn: 12:01

Galaxy, I love that thing, man. That was just crazy. But what it does is that it's during crazy times. Have you ever noticed, even generationally, they go back. Oh, yeah. Right? When times get crazy, people always revert back. We talk about it all the time going back to the 80s and stuff like that. You see a lot of what the kids are doing now, the band shirts. I mean, the we were the all these kids now, they're wearing all these retro shirts.

G: 12:24

Oh, hell yeah, man.

Shawn: 12:24

You're seeing Led Zeppelin, and none of them heard of Stairway to Heaven.

G: 12:28

Yeah, none of them have heard of uh a lot of these songs and stuff, but there's like relative bands and that are uh still around, and then there's some that are like aren't still around, like Led Zeppelin, right? Yeah, yeah.

Shawn: 12:37

You have like, I mean, the ones that they wear as Zeppelin. I seen, I seen Queen, Def Leopard, and Kiss.

G: 12:43

Queen, Def Leopard, and Kiss.

Shawn: 12:44

Yeah. All right, you know something else that that that is definitely generational that you see with the moms?

G: 12:49

Right.

Shawn: 12:50

Do you know they used to have the little Capri Sons?

G: 12:53

Capri Sun.

Shawn: 12:54

Capri Sun, whatever. Yeah, Capri Sun. They everybody else is Capri Sun Capri Sun, whatever. Yep. You know what it is. So you have the little sips. Juice in a bag. Shut up. So they have the little sips. Juice in a bag. So these moms take these, and you know that they're like when they go to those little events, you know they're throwing alcohol in those things too. Oh yeah. You know, now I I was thinking about when when my son was in school, it was the Yeti. The Yeti? Yeah, they fill them up with wine.

G: 13:24

Yeah.

Shawn: 13:24

You know, they're always at some event and they they fill the the Yetis up with wine and stuff.

G: 13:28

Yeah, all the reusable containers that are out there. There are a million different brands right now, but yeah, the Yeti was like the thing then. Yeah, it's like those Stanley mugs that were like so popular with the younger generation, and right now, like the bigger one is a walla. Yeah, those are freaking like those are the ones that everybody's sneaking into concerts and all, you know, putting their juice in and thinking they're sly that everybody knows. Generational moms, right?

Shawn: 13:53

I love that. I think it's funny because you know you're like a choir concert. All these moms got like their Yetis, yeah. They got wine. Like going like this, it was like We know. No, you're lit. We know you're lit. That's right. I think that's good. But the other thing that we had generationally in every generation, right? Is that they they hit it, they hit it years ago. It was the mean girls. Remember the mean girls movie?

G: 14:17

Mean girls movies.

Shawn: 14:18

Yeah, it talked about the social hierarchy. Every generation has dealt with that. Yeah, they've had different movies that that dealt with that.

G: 14:25

Yeah, the whole subject matter of like somebody being mean at high school, blah, blah, blah, you know, picking on the you know, geek.

Shawn: 14:32

So yeah, we we also have the Breakfast Club, and then uh do you remember the Outsiders?

G: 14:36

Oh, yeah, outsiders and uh what are the old kids running around? They're like a little gang.

Shawn: 14:41

Greasers and the Soche. Yeah. That that was a huge star study group that was in that one.

G: 14:47

Yeah.

Shawn: 14:47

But that was that was a really cool one. You guys want to watch a good old movie? Outsiders are actually really good. But I mean, we've all had to deal with that, that um, that st um problem with being either rich or poor, right? Yeah. I mean, you know, did you fit in or didn't you? Did you I'm here? No, did you fit in? No, I that's what I'm asking you. Did you have to deal with that?

G: 15:10

Of course you had to deal with that. Everybody, everybody getting, you know, it doesn't matter what generation you are, that's like cross. That's forever. That's forever and time. Like economic differences is forever, right? And so, like, if I was the poor kid, and lots of us our generation growing up, we were all the poor kids, you know. We all felt like we were the poor kids coming up, and there was the rich kids, and you know, but you didn't know you were poor when you were young.

Shawn: 15:34

Did you know?

G: 15:36

You don't you don't know until you get into like start getting into your teens. Yeah, you know, that's when you're like you can realize, but when you're young, like grade school and stuff, we didn't know.

Shawn: 15:44

We never knew. We only knew like when we used to we used to stand down by the bridge and we would uh we would look at one side of the lake and the other side of the lake. One side had lights, and then our side was dark. And dark, yeah.

G: 15:56

Well, if I would have known, believe me, I wouldn't have had school pictures with uh orange reindeers on them. Yeah. You know, I'm like, you know, as a young kid, you don't know, like you look you just look at your school pictures. You start, you know, the age when you understood, like, if I'm I'm I have money, I don't have money. Yeah, and like you could see like all these goofy stuff and shit you were like dressed in, right?

Shawn: 16:20

Now you can because you you look back and you see these uh you know these pictures of your brothers have the same shirts as you.

G: 16:26

Yeah.

Shawn: 16:27

Right? You get three for one.

G: 16:28

That's the whole thing. Like you you don't realize that until a certain age, and once there's a certain age, then you're like, oh, you're trying to be there, you know, trying to hang with all this stuff, but you can't. Yeah, you know, but it is what it is, it's just be you now, right?

Shawn: 16:42

That's what you try to do, right? All right, guys, they have true confessions, we have crew confessions. What's your story? So people always wonder what is the funniest, stupidest, or craziest things we ever do on a layover.

G: 16:56

Always is like the number one thing that everybody always asks for. Uh like, like, tell me a story, what happened on a you know, this trip or something like that.

Shawn: 17:03

We have the jump seat therapy going on all the time. All the time. Right? So, this is the funniest jump seat therapy little story that I could come up with uh from one of our crew members. So uh she had said um I slept with my crew.

G: 17:18

She slept with her crew? Who'd she sleep with?

Shawn: 17:21

Uh well that's why I asked. I said, Did you sleep with a crew member? She said no, the crew. The crew. Like the whole crew? Yeah. We got those flight units. Yeah. Damn. Damn. Right? The crew. Can you imagine the look on my face?

SPEAKER_02: 17:42

Dude.

Shawn: 17:42

I'd be like, I had so many, you you know I had so many questions.

SPEAKER_02: 17:46

Right.

Shawn: 17:46

We can't talk about those, but I had so many questions. Right. The crew. You you're you're not even saying anything. No. You would be all over that. I'm I'm thinking in my head right now of all the data. Exactly. You'd be all over that. Right. Like you have nothing to say. Like, uh Right. Let me think. Nothing. That was good. All right, I love this one. She so this flight attendant, she was naked. She was uh her husband was went downstairs to get a drink.

G: 18:16

Right.

Shawn: 18:17

Came back, she had taken all of her clothes off. Opened up the door, thought it was her husband. It was the other male flight attendant on the crew telling her that their flight was gonna be delayed tomorrow morning.

G: 18:29

Oh damn, at the door.

Shawn: 18:35

I would love to be on that crew in the morning. Could you imagine the conversation? Uh uh uh um we're gonna be gonna be late. Right.

G: 18:51

Another, you know what You can't make it up. Yeah, you can't make that shit up. But I mean the thing that happened to me personally was like uh that same thing. You know, get your hotel clean key, check in, and you walk in, you clip the door. I walked in, all I see was a hairy ass laying on the bed. Oh somebody else is in the room. Oops, somebody's in this room. I closed the door, went back downstairs. I'm like, what the hell? You just gave me a room that somebody's in. He's calling down the same way.

Shawn: 19:17

Somebody just opened my door to the room. This one flight attendant, she told me. Oh, I gotta tell you this one too. This flight attendant told me she um she was intoxicated. Right. Go figure on a layover?

G: 19:28

Maybe.

Shawn: 19:29

Intoxicated flight attendant? Maybe I don't know. That happens every once in a while. But anyway, she walked into the hotel and she went up to her room. She kept trying the room key, room key wouldn't work. She went downstairs and she was like, stupid keys not working. The lady at the front desk is like, you're in the wrong hotel.

unknown: 19:45

Oh, damn.

Shawn: 19:48

That's when you had too much wine. You've had a little too much. It's not the one that you're supposed to be at. But anyway, um, yeah, that's flat of tennis, right? Right. That's it. That's a true definite. Confession of a flight attendant. Now let's talk about stupid things. People getting injured because of turbulence.

G: 20:06

Stupid things, man. That just happened on my flight.

Shawn: 20:08

Number one thing, the reason why you guys get injured is because of seatbelts.

G: 20:12

Oh yeah. Right?

Shawn: 20:13

Seatbelts are number one.

G: 20:16

I am on international flights now, and on international flights, it's like the worst abused thing. Like people do not sit in their seats with their seatbelts on. I will go, we will those seatbelts sign will come on, come off. People just totally ignore them. It is, it's like the it like gets under my skin about the whole thing. But um, we just like coming into Narita this last few days ago, coming in, just checking everybody. We had everybody in their seatbelts, right? And we're just walking through doing our checks and everything. Bam! Man, we hit the turbulence. I fly in the air, I slam myself down on the floor. Where I'm like grabbing the edge of the seats, holding onto the sides of the seats. We're like rocking it, rocking it. That lasted like all of three seconds. It felt like 15, 20 minutes.

Shawn: 21:05

Right, because you're scared shitless. Right. I mean, you hit uh you hit violent turbulence, everything gets thrown away out in the cabin. But you know, people don't understand, too, is like even here in Cleveland, when the lake doesn't freeze over, all that water, all that stuff, it causes a lot of uh of you get a lot of airflow too. And it comes across we get these crazy winds.

G: 21:25

Oh, yeah.

Shawn: 21:25

And we and with the winds, you get crazy turbulence.

G: 21:28

Yeah, wind shear is the number one thing. That's what's causing the turbulence.

Shawn: 21:30

So it's like and you get these passengers. I mean, they don't they don't wear the seatbelts.

G: 21:34

They don't wear the seat belts. We try to check. They don't care. Like that, like it's just like it the guy that I was like on the floor with, he's looking at me, he's like, Are you okay? I literally ignored him because I went went into like crew mode. Like I was like, boom, I'm like, keep myself safe, get over with, I gotta get to my seat. I like jumped up, I went straight to my seat, you know, secured myself, fastened in, got smooth, and then I went back and I told the dude. I was like, sorry, I didn't like I wasn't trying to ignore you, but I was trying to keep myself safe. Right.

Shawn: 22:02

You know, so turbulence does I mean turbulence injuries doesn't make any sense. All you have to do is put your seatbelt on.

G: 22:08

Yep, put your seatbelt on.

Shawn: 22:09

I mean, it's a it's a simple thing. All you gotta do is just make sure that you keep it on even loosely fastened. Kids too, though. You ever notice that with like all of a sudden you'll hit turbulence and there's some little kid walking around? That that really pisses me off. Pisses me off because yeah, I know, but that's mom and dad's job.

G: 22:24

Right.

Shawn: 22:24

That's not our job. No, our job is not to to to go up there and and wrangle your kid.

G: 22:30

Yeah, that's the parents.

Shawn: 22:31

Yeah, and because what happens is a flight attendant will get up and try to go get this kid to be sitting down and they'll get injured.

G: 22:39

Right.

Shawn: 22:39

And that's that's the parents' responsibility. Absolutely. All right, when do we stop the service because of turbulence?

G: 22:47

Um, it could be different, you know, two different ways. One, the captain's telling us to stop, or two, we're experiencing it, right? Yeah. So that's the two different times. Like where we're gonna stop turbulence because to keep ourselves safe. And that and and everybody's like, you know, wondering why, or you know, where's the flight attendants? What do they think? The only reason why they're wondering is why you got your damn headphones on.

Shawn: 23:11

Yeah, you're not tuned in.

G: 23:12

You're not tuned in. You're not keeping you they'll be shaking in the seat and they'll be like, ding, can I get a Pepsi? You know, like, what the fuck? Right, like that's that we're if we're not on the aisle and you're getting the plane shaking, have the in you know, instincts or the intuitiveness to say, oh, they're keeping themselves safe.

Shawn: 23:33

All right, Sean, what do you think the biggest misconception when it comes to de-icing with passengers? What do they think?

G: 23:39

They don't think it's necessary. Like the biggest misconception with de-icing is that they think, uh, you know, we don't need this. You know, I just need to get to my there, they're all about I don't need to get to where I need to get to go. Blows off the wings, right? Right, it's gonna be enough. Yeah, it's my car just blows off. Not like that, right? But in planes, you know, you don't you want all the moving parts moving, and you definitely don't want them to like stick when you're trying to make the thing climb and it's stuck to this end, you know, like that they don't understand that, and it's a total necessary process, but you know, de-icing procedure, it's important to do it right, right? Because what just happened here on January 18th, there's a passenger that got sprayed by the glycol. Yeah, yeah. And so that that process, like you need to they need to like clean up the plane and make it, you know, safe for us and all this stuff, but they need to do it also right, right?

Shawn: 24:34

Yeah, well, I mean, if how many times have we seen glycol in the galley?

G: 24:39

Oh, yeah. Over the years, like all the time, because it used to be where these guys were always shooting the door, right?

Shawn: 24:44

And that's what happens. There, the door seals are rubber. So as soon as you shoot the seal, you're not supposed to shoot the seal, supposed to go to the top, supposed to come down. So if you made a mistake, which everybody's human, right? Right. So you make a mistake and you go a little lower and you shoot it through the door seal.

G: 24:59

Right.

Shawn: 25:00

It's like a car wash if you have your window cracked.

G: 25:02

Yeah, or a window with this guy, probably. Yeah. He was like showered.

Shawn: 25:07

He's like, no, exactly. What is going on? It's like goo, especially and depending on what kind of gold.

G: 25:14

The call button is going off quick.

Shawn: 25:16

Yeah, but what kind of glycol, too? Like you got the gooey stuff, you got the really any of it on you is not good, right? Yeah. Yep, that wouldn't be good. On the floor is one thing, it's like a skating ring, but yeah, on your body, no.

G: 25:28

No.

Shawn: 25:28

But they also they de-ice at the uh at the pad, too.

G: 25:31

Oh, yeah. I mean, you got to get the engines going. Moving parts have to move, and if anything's frozen, I mean because we see we see the planes take ice through the engine. Oh, yeah. Ice through the engine, breaking blades. Now you're canceling flights.

Shawn: 25:46

Yeah, lots of damage, lots of uh millions of dollars. De- icing is important. Very important. Yeah, well, I'm gonna tune out to you right now. We're gonna go around the globe. Smart ass. All right, man. Let's go around the globe. All right, let's do that. A Florida's deputy went viral in a body cam. It showed him chasing down a runaway emu. Emu like uh Doug. What Doug and Emu Doug and Emu? It was. It was and it was a runaway emu? Yeah.

G: 26:14

And did they think it was like filming a commercial or something like that?

Shawn: 26:17

No, he's chasing this thing down. You know, it's it's it's a flightless bird. So I mean he's chasing down. You you know how he secured him? How's that? Put his handcuffs around his legs. He did. I'm not kidding.

G: 26:28

His damn emu's. I think they like, aren't they like the kick or something like that? Like defense or something like that? I don't know. Emu, he does a lot of things on Liberty. Him and Dud. That was funny as shit. Liberty Mutual could put that into a commercial.

Shawn: 26:41

Yeah, I love this one. So this guy just gets out of prison, and what does he do? He steals he's a 23-year-old guy, just got out of prison, and he hijacked a semi loaded full of uh Corvettes worth$1.225 million dollars. He sped off and ignored all the sirens, and he was arrested and uh drive for driving recklessly.

G: 27:03

Okay. Why is that funny?

Shawn: 27:05

It's not. We're gonna cut that one.

G: 27:10

Why is that funny? All right, you're gonna love this one. Wait, wait, wait, wait. We've gotta cut that. We gotta like I gotta give a pause.

Shawn: 27:15

I had to I had to throw a couple in there. Now you're gonna love this one. This woman was um, she was uh sent to jail for spraying someone with silly string.

G: 27:26

Sent to jail for spraying somebody with silly string. Yep. Why? I don't know.

Shawn: 27:32

She threw the can at him. I mean, we we talk about some stupid shit here. I mean, but they these are dumb things that happen around our globe.

G: 27:40

Silly string arrest.

Shawn: 27:42

So a 23-year-old just got out of prison. He thought about the best way to get home was to hijack a semi load of Corvettes.

G: 27:50

Why didn't he just steal the Corvette?

SPEAKER_02: 27:52

I have no idea.

Shawn: 27:53

Like, um, exactly the smartest one in the sh in the world, Sean. I mean, he just got out of prison and he stole a semi.

G: 27:59

Yeah.

Shawn: 28:00

So now you're going back in for$1.2 million of auto theft?

G: 28:05

Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. Not smart. Yeah. Grand Theft Auto trying to get home.

Shawn: 28:10

Yeah. I love this one. This this women, this one women, this woman, uh, silly string. Shot a person with silly string. That's not what got her thrown in jail, though.

G: 28:20

What got her thrown in jail? She threw the can. Threw the can and the silly string?

Shawn: 28:24

It was empty. Yeah. Well, she's mad.

unknown: 28:26

Stupid.

Shawn: 28:27

So I love this one. Some idiot, they went and they stole a couple Smokey the Bear signs.

G: 28:32

Smoky the Bear signs?

Shawn: 28:34

Smokey the Bear. That's a big ass signs, first of all. Right. Or is are we talking about like little roads? No, pretty good sized signs. So they had a couple of them. Guess where they tried to sell them? Um, eBay? Facebook Marketplace. Where you go meet somebody, right? Stupid. Uh let's see. Let's meet at like Bob Evans or something like that, and we can uh we can we can trace.

G: 28:56

Uh hello, dumb criminal. Um, you put your location, your all your stuff about you. That's what Facebook is about, connecting with people.

Shawn: 29:04

Yeah. Police negotiated a price for you know, like$1,500 instead of sixteen hundred.

G: 29:09

And he showed up and probably sell it to him?

Shawn: 29:11

Yeah. Do you think he got the money?

unknown: 29:14

Who knows?

Shawn: 29:16

But you got the stupid criminal. Not the smartest people in the world, Sean. Not the smartest people in the world. But that's why we go around the globe.

G: 29:21

Yeah, but that's how we have a commercial that says Smokey Bear going, you should not be stealing my damn signs.

Shawn: 29:27

Yeah. That'd be funny. Could you imagine Smokey the Bear walking up there going? Shaking his head.

G: 29:35

Yeah. I'm trying to prevent stealing signs. Who's like, no forest fires.

Shawn: 29:41

What did he used to say? You too can prevent forest fires. Right. You do. Remember, he used to shake his head? Because they come up on a campfire and they're like, like, shh shh and he's like, right. Don't do that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 29:53

Yeah, don't sell, don't sell my sign. Today's his you should. You hey, you stupid ass, don't steal my sign.

Shawn: 30:02

Could you imagine being in prison for that one? What are you in here for? Smokey to bear sign?

SPEAKER_02: 30:07

Yeah. Dumb. Stole it. Stupid ass. Put it on Facebook.

Shawn: 30:10

So let's go to the inspirational quote. All right. Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can.

G: 30:17

That's right. Do not let things hold you up. Just do what you can do right now. I just flew with a guy that he just has all these inventions and uh got awards for it and all that stuff, but he's like all hung up on the terrace right now. You know, he has his thing. The guy, it's like genius what he's got. He's got these tools and stuff. But um just do what you can do right now. Try to keep working, keep going. Don't let things hold you up.

Shawn: 30:43

Absolutely. And what we can do right now is say, see you guys later. Hope you guys have a great week, and we'll see you next week on Cabin Pressure.
