The Most Unhinged Day at Work | Aviation Edition

Somebody can call you an idiot before sunrise and somehow it still turns into a great day at work. That’s airline life, and we lean into it with a mix of window-seat wonder, airport people-watching, and the kind of aviation chaos you truly cannot make up.

We start with the simple question every frequent flyer has asked: why are airplane windows still so small? From cloud-gazing to mountain views, we talk about what the window seat gives us that screens never can, plus the weird patterns you only notice from above like the endless “circles” over Nebraska. One mysterious light in the middle of nowhere turns into a real off-grid rabbit hole, including the story of Christopher Knight, the North Pond Hermit who disappeared into the Maine woods for 27 years.

Then we get practical. We share how many iPhones, iPads, and earbuds get left on planes, what happens to them after lost and found deadlines, and the easiest way to boost your odds of getting your device back. After that, it’s Rome layover mode: Lime scooters through back streets, the keyhole view that frames the Vatican, shared-table travel friends, and an artichoke-centered food mission in Rome’s Jewish ghetto. We also touch a nerve topic we keep hearing on trips: how undereducated many of us feel about retirement planning and basic personal finance.

Finish the ride with a truly horrifying lavatory service mishap, a Wednesday Addams passenger sighting, a rant about airport design, and a reminder that basic decency matters even with something as small as a foul ball. Subscribe, share this with a travel buddy, and leave a review if these stories feel like your kind of flight.

Airport Insults And Morning Mood

Shawn 0:00

I gotta tell you today you're not a very nice tech guy. Oh really? Yeah, you're not nice. You started the shit off already not nice. Oh, yes, I am. I walked right in and then it's all sudden arrogant, mean tech guy.

G 0:25

No. It's in cooperative co-host.

Shawn 0:32

It would kind of remind me of this week. So I I did my little Stuart Smalley daily daily affirmations.

G 0:38

Right.

Shawn 0:38

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and guys started people like me. Yep. Started boarding.

G 0:43

Right.

Shawn 0:43

And I'm like, hey, hey, good morning, you guys. And this old elderly couple walks in. The old guy looks at me and he goes, idiot.

G 0:50

Oh, he pegged you.

Shawn 0:53

What? He goes, seriously, he goes, he goes, he looked at me and he's like, idiot. And she's like, oh my God, don't oh, he he's got dementia. How long has this guy known you? Probably forever. He was like spot on. It took you how many seconds before he just. I knew that was coming. I knew it. I knew as soon as I brought up this, he he was gonna sit there and tell me, oh yeah, this guy's got it spot on. You are an idiot. So you just call it like you see it. But you know, okay, listen, you're you as soon as as soon as you start the morning off, I'm feeling good.

I'm like, yeah, I'm like, this is gonna be a good day.

G 1:30

Right.

Shawn 1:31

Right? How you doing? Good morning, idiot. So that's not but but the best part is flight number two.

G 1:38

Right.

Shawn 1:39

So I'm standing there in the first class in between the partition. This elderly woman walks on, and I'm looking at her, she's got her cane. I'm like, good morning, ma'am. And she goes, Your airline's stupid. I'm like, what is in the f water, man? What is up? These people are just coming. Somehow you weren't setting the tone. I'm like, I am being really nice. And next thing you know, I'm an idiot and my airline's stupid.

G 2:05

Yeah, yeah. Well, people know. That's all that's it. Just people know. Right. People know. You know, like, hey, they're just calling the it's hard when like the truth just expews out. It's like those little kids that it's like they say stuff and it's just genuinely honest.

Shawn 2:29

I knew before I even started talking about this, I knew it. I'm like, I I am so giving him shit to talk about me. Right. And call me an and call me an idiot.

unknown 2:37

It's all good.

The Case For Bigger Windows

Shawn 2:38

So, you know, I had been thinking a lot about like, you know, when you're traveling and and the window seats. Right. Okay, when you're when you're looking out the window, the reason why people like window seats. Yeah, they want to look at the windows. Yeah. So wouldn't it be cool one day if they had a plane? Could you imagine having this, like the whole side of the plane be like a window?

G 3:00

Dude, that's like I'm gonna tell you right now, like it boggles my mind, like in this world of technology, it's like the cockpit has those giant windows, right? Right.

Shawn 3:09

You're exposed to airbuses, airbuses are huge windows.

G 3:12

They have big windows, but why does the window have to be so small? I don't know. Like it, I don't they don't have to be. Yeah, they're just like somebody decided, oh, this is a good size. Like, why like that's the best part of flying? Right. Like if I was designing these things, like make those windows like picture windows where they're like large windows, like on the on the uh wide bodies and stuff, they're big windows, right? And there's no reason why they can't put that big windows on on the small planes.

Shawn 3:41

Could you imagine like when you go into um uh you know Soarin? Is it Soren at at Disney or is it um universal or something like that?

G 3:49

Yeah, where you get in and you're like you're in flying all over, yeah.

Shawn 3:53

The wraparound IMAX type of thing. And you're looking and you can see flying. How cool would it be that if you're sitting in the windows and after takeoff, you're climbing and all of a sudden the sides just come up and it goes in and the whole side's just glass. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:09

You're like, holy shit, look at that.

G 4:12

I mean, it would be cool, but there's there it's cool on certain situations, you know. Like if I'm applying that to like an international flight, the first thing we're doing is closing the windows.

Shawn 4:22

I know.

G 4:23

Yeah, like like we're always, you know, so we don't want the windows open. We only want the windows open like when we're ready to land and wake your ass up, get ready. Burst the bubble, man. No, no, no, but I'm like, I'm it's not the bubble burst because I like I like the idea of like having bigger windows and all that stuff because you know, us doing domestic flying and stuff, like you know, you're on a two-hour flight and everything, like people aren't going to sleep. They're they're looking around, they're looking at where where they're going and all that stuff, you know. Where whereas longer flights, obviously, the bigger windows, but that's where we have it in the industry. We had the big windows in the long flights that everyone wants to close, right? Yeah. And then on the the shorter flights, we have these little small windows and everybody wants to look out the window, right? And and then, you know, when we have those seats too, don't you hate those seats that are like, oh, you got a window seat and there's a wall? Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, there's no window. Yeah, there's no wall, there's just a wall. But they sold it as a window. Or or you have a window seat and like you're between the two windows, and like you, you like is my I love the videos when people.

Shawn 5:22

There's my window seat and they're showing the freaking wall of the airplane. Right. But what I like about it though is that when you're flying, especially on clear days, like you're going through Colorado and everything, isn't it cool? Like you look down the mountains and you can see like the snow cover. And it literally, I mean, it's it's like it's so uh surreal. Yeah. Because you're kind of gliding through and you're just like looking down, even still today, it still gets me because you know, you're looking down in the beauty of just our country is it's incredible.

G 5:52

Yeah, you know what I really like to do when I'm like uh were you when I was a kid, like I'd love to like look at clouds and like figure out what they look like. Formations, yeah. Yeah, yeah. The formation picture or something. I still do that today. Like I look from above and I you see these like long, you know, swirly clouds or big puff clouds. You like I'm still doing that. Like, what's that look like?

Shawn 6:15

I know it's crazy. I looked at one, I looked at one uh the other day and it looked like SpongeBob. I'm not getting it, did it like it had the little square almost like it looked little bitty things on the out. We like a little sponge bob up in the air. I know it's crazy, but that we do stuff like that when we look out there.

G 6:29

That's awesome. You know, the uh when you were saying about the uh the windows and all that stuff, it's like like I I am a big I want to see the out the windows when I fly and stuff, but my wife, she always takes the window seat. Really? She's the pilot. She every time she gets on a plane, she's got this big old picture window. But then when I get on a plane and we're non-Reving, and I've actually have time to sit down and look at the window because we don't know. We don't, you know, our job, we don't get to look at the window that often. You know, I'm in the freaking middle seat. Yeah, middle seat RO. Yeah. Like I'm like, really? Yeah, you're nothing. Yeah, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, honey, like, why do I why are you at the window and I'm like, I want to look at the window I'm the pilot.

unknown 7:12

Right.

G 7:14

I'm the pilot.

Shawn 7:15

You're the flight attendant, get over in the middle seat.

SPEAKER_00 7:17

Right.

The Truth Behind Crop Circles

Shawn 7:18

That's exactly that's exactly what it is. But I am it is so it is so cool though, because you're flying. I mean, you fly in Hawaii, you see the islands, right? You fly in the Cancun, Mexico, you flying along the coast, you see the beautiful water. Right. I mean, it the I the the window seats are incredible. But what do you think is the number one thing, the number one question that we get asked about what do they see on the ground? You gotta know this one. Yeah. What? What's those little circles down there? The aliens little circles. It's a U.S. alien nation, territorial, space, parking spots. Parking spots, right. They gotta know where they can go. Exactly. It just happens to be in Nebraska, right? You got all these damn circles everywhere. And the first thing, honestly, the first thing that they ask us is what are those circles all over the ground? And you'll know you're on over Nebraska because it's everywhere.

G 8:12

I mean it, you know, it is fascinating. Like you gotta take it from a new person flying, like like you get on from the ground, you know, you go by farms and stuff, you don't see that. Like that you don't see that they have these like circular irrigation systems, but you see, so when you get in the air, all of a sudden you see all these circles everywhere. And it's weird. Like, I was just thinking about that the other day when I was I was flying into uh Rome and no circles. They have no really circles anywhere in the country, like it's all like pit mishmosh, patch, like everything like you would see a European, like just there's just no circles like that. Where we have the circles. I haven't seen I haven't yet to see them. Tell me where the circles are in Europe. Somebody that is somebody write it in. Do you think that I mean, do you do you think that they don't need them? I mean I don't know. It's it's weird because you know, like irrigation doesn't have to be circular. No, you know, they have the ones that just go straight down the lines, they have ones that are already embedded, you know, like all that stuff. But you know, it I don't know. It's it was wild. I was just like, I was thinking about that this last flight coming in. I'm like, wow, there are no crop circles here.

Shawn 9:25

Yeah, in in Nebraska, it's a center pivotable, pivotal uh irrigation system, blah, blah. Do you like that? Yeah. It's a center pivotable um irrigation system. And I rolled it again. It's all right. It's really cool, but what it is is that it actually extends out like a quarter of a mile. This pipe goes out, and it goes out a quarter of a mile. It's on these on these wheels, and then it goes around in this big circle, but it takes like anywhere from 24 to 48 hours for it to complete one big pipe.

G 9:56

Slowly tiny, it's a slow-moving little teeny irrigation system that can rotate circular and pivoting off of one spot. I couldn't even imagine the maintenance of that. I mean, that that happens. Well, I mean, the maintenance can't be too crazy because you're only dealing with one line, right? Yeah, it's just one line. Still, one big long pipe shaped. A quarter of a mile long, though. Yeah. Hey, dude, farmers work hard. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I was thinking about that the other day too. I was like, there's not enough farmers in this world. There and props to the farmers out there.

Shawn 10:27

Yeah, but it's getting less. I mean, all that all they're doing now, even around us, even around us, you see it every day. Out in our area, out in our township, more people small farms are getting bought up, and it's all getting turned into these big homes.

G 10:40

Oh, yeah, the big development plots. So there's more people, less food. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think in our lifetime it's gonna happen, but there's definitely gonna be a world food shortage sometime. I mean, it's just it's mathematically it's gonna happen, you know, like just the population's going, and we're not producing more, you know, we're we're producing more things like data centers.

Shawn 11:01

Yeah, well, in the back part of my property, we were talking about this before we even came in here. There, um the guy, this guy just purchased the back part, this back farm. I uh my my my land prop uh backs up to a farm. And they he just purchased it, went back there 30, 40 feet of farmland that was trees, he just ripped that shit right out. Yeah, and I know I know he's going to he's gonna turn it into you know residential neighborhood too.

G 11:29

Neighbors soon in your own. You don't have any control, not your property.

Shawn 11:33

I don't want neighbors. So see? He he that's exactly what he's saying. So? Yeah, exactly. And they're gonna move in anyway. But no, I mean, they they have so many cool things when you're looking at the different lakes and rivers. You'll see like a river, it goes to nowhere. I mean, you're up in the area, you see it and all of a sudden it just stops, or or you see like a road out in the middle of nowhere and goes it goes nowhere. Now, one of the one of the strange things though is that when you're going across the United States and it's at nighttime. Yeah. And we're out in the middle flipping nowhere. Right. You've been up in the cockpit and you're sitting up there and you're talking to whoever's flying, and you look out there and you see that one little light.

G 12:14

Yeah.

Shawn 12:14

That one light.

G 12:15

Yeah, you're always wearing like, like, what the who? What is that? Yeah. What's that out there? Is it and and you start questioning, right? Yeah. I mean, I think of all kinds of crazy stuff, like, you know, like uh, you know, is it a fire station? Yeah. Is it like, you know, a ranger station or natural gas thing? You know something. Is it, you know, some type of yeah, natural glass line? Is it a uh line from you know, electrical line going through, or who knows?

One Lone Light In The Dark

Shawn 12:38

You know, but did you ever think it was somebody off the grid? No, that's that hasn't really popped in my mind. Really? No. See, when I seen it out there, I was like, what if that's somebody off the grid? Yeah. Living off the grid. Out in the middle, flipping nowhere.

G 12:53

Dude, I can't I like my luxuries. I'm gonna tell you.

Shawn 13:00

We're talking about somebody living off the air. I am, I'm telling you, like, I know that.

G 13:03

I don't like it, I'm not that guy. Like, uh, I have no reason to live off the grid. Like, if unless I was like wanted, I'm like so antisocial, like I can't communicate with humans. Right there. Right? Yeah. Like those are the things that I like, I would do that, but that's not you and I.

The Hermit Who Vanished 27 Years

Shawn 13:22

So you're what you're sitting in the light and you didn't even wonder if it's off the grid. No, no, no, no. You ain't got no damn imagination at all. Anyway, I wonder in my world? No, I wonder it could be Rudolph. So I I was like, I wonder whatever Rudolph's mother, jackass. I I was sitting there thinking that it's somebody off the grid. So I'm like, okay, did anybody really just go off the grid? You know, and of course they did. Oh, yeah. But there was this guy, his name was Christopher Knight. Okay. Okay. Years ago in Maine, this guy goes off the grid.

G 13:56

Yeah.

Shawn 13:56

Okay. He's driving. He's in his car. He's they said he's really intelligent, you know, but he's one of these introverts. Grew up in a family that, you know, they they didn't talk to their neighbors and stuff like that. But this guy, he he goes in his car, he's driving, he's like a hundred and some miles away from where he normally is at. He's almost out of gas. He pulls over in this remote area in Maine. He leaves his keys on his dashboard and he freaking disappears. There you go. Twenty-seven years, this guy lives in the freaking woods without ever having contact with anybody. And that's what made me think about that life, because this guy goes in there for 27 freaking years. Yeah.

G 14:43

No crimes, no nothing, not wanted. No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he just decided he wanted to check out a society.

Shawn 14:49

Yeah. So he goes off grid. And you you know how they caught him?

G 14:52

So the why why did they want to catch him?

Shawn 14:56

But the that's the point. That's the point. Lead up to that. Okay. Why do they want to catch him? Why do they want to catch this guy? Now, this guy was known as the the hermit or some some some North Pond hermit.

G 15:10

Okay.

Shawn 15:10

And what it was was they had all these cabin burglaries. Oh. And so this what it was missing was like propane, food, scrapping stuff, survival items, right? And they had thousands of them over the years, but it was never enough to where it's like, okay, you have to go on a manhunt for somebody. Yeah.

G 15:29

People were like, uh, my propane, I didn't know I had extra propane here. That's exactly that's exactly what it was. I had some sharmin on the shelf over here.

Shawn 15:38

That's exactly how they explained it. That's exactly how they explained it. They're like, they weren't sure if they had bought the canned goods or whatever it was. So this this ranger didn't live far from this um one park where they had like a camp for kids. So he decides to put this sensor in there and thinking this guy had come back to this numerous times.

G 15:56

Yeah. Was it was when you say the sensor, so like, was it one of those, like, you know, there's a lot of hunters that have those like uh cameras that are like infrared cameras that they can like catch people at night or any of the city?

Shawn 16:07

No, this one was just about about movement. Okay, so so if there was any movement in the cabin, it would it would trigger in his own house. Alarm, whatever. And he didn't live far, he was like a couple miles from there. So it triggered an alarm in his house, and then he came comes down there and he catches this guy. Okay, so this guy did all these crimes, right? Right, burglary. Didn't didn't ever do anything else. Right. So they incarcerate him for six months, they sentence him for seven months, and he already did his time, and he's already out. Time served back to the forest. 20s no, and they banned him from the forest. He couldn't ban somebody from the forest. That's what I said. That's exactly what I said. How in the hell you ban somebody from a forest?

G 16:50

Yeah.

Shawn 16:50

So you're gonna stop him from walking in, but he never went back.

G 16:53

Right.

Shawn 16:53

But again, that goes back to saying that has anybody could it possibly off to society after 27 years?

G 17:01

That's his thing. Like, that's like being in prison and coming back in, and like those people don't understand. Like, what?

Shawn 17:07

There's cell phones, like there's an internet, and they he got a job, he got a job actually working in in a car shop where he didn't have to talk to many people. He was like doing oil changes and stuff like that.

Crash Survival And Hard Choices

G 17:18

I am so we are we are so opposite of that person. Like, we would I wouldn't even think about that type of stuff. I mean off the grid. The only time I think about that type of stuff like is like uh survival, just like okay, if there's like some type of like giant, crazy natural, you know, occurrence, like a volcano or someone, you know, like or earthquake or you know, floods or something like that. And how am I gonna survive type of thing? Can I do that? All that type of stuff. Like, I think I have enough knowledge to kind of like get there, but I still don't have enough.

Shawn 17:49

Like, do you ever have that thought of like if the plane ever, you know, if you went down to some remote area, yeah, survival? You ever thought about that one?

G 17:56

Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you know, that movie, that movie survive, whatever. Yeah, about the soccer tune that like crashed into the yeah uh I don't know if I'm eating South America, whatever. Well, I ain't staying around that long. That's what I'm saying. Like like we're packing up. Uh they were on top of this mountain, and I'm thinking, okay, I know how to ski. I know, I mean, not that I'm gonna have skis with me, but I can make a freaking sled of some sort, you know, like to get out of there and just get off the fucking mountain. Like I want to get out of that like extreme environment. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, okay, which way do I go? Well, if I was flying here, I knew that, you know, you know, there's an ocean going this way, or there's you know, there's something I know the direction, I can figure out the direction, you know, with the sun and you know, all that stuff. Like, you can figure out, okay, I need to just go this way, I'm gonna run into something, right?

Shawn 18:47

Plus, we have leftover meals. Yeah. It won't last too long. You got some, you got some snacks, yeah. Right? A couple cookies.

G 18:55

No, you can live off the land pretty good. I mean, depending on what that is. I mean, like, if you're in that mountain like they were, where it's like all glacier and snow and stuff, so there's nothing to eat up there, but there's lots of water, right? Yeah, and you can go a long time more than without eating versus not water, right? Right? So you can get water. So as long as you can get some water and keep going, like, and that's what ended up happening, that whole story. I don't know if you ever seen that that movie. Yeah, I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like somebody, you know, a party of them finally just left to try to find and they made it, and then they brought help back, you know. But they were there for months. Yeah. Whatever. I'm like, no. No, we're leaving. No, dude.

Shawn 19:34

Yeah, we're packing our shit up and we're going.

G 19:35

The second you were like, hey, you know what? Those toes look kind of good.

Shawn 19:39

Yeah, no. No, I'm not looking at you like no big Mac. I'm like, Sean, we're gonna lose some pounds. We're getting, we're hitting the fucking road, man. There's no way. There's no way. It ain't happening.

G 19:51

I'm getting off that damn mountain. Like, I'm especially it's cold, right? I'm like, I want to get out of here. I'm gonna keep moving to keep myself warm and keep going, like, keep going, keep going.

Lost iPhones And iPads On Planes

Shawn 19:59

Like, all right, we're gonna switch gears, go talking about possibly eating each other, but yeah, that's disgusting. No, so we were we were discussing this about uh electronics because um we had found a couple of the iPads, and I was talking to a couple of the um the cleaning people. Do you know how crazy it is how many iPads and electronic devices are found on airplanes? This is what this is past. You guys really need to pay attention, this part of it.

G 20:27

Yeah, it's insane amounts of electric electric, I mean uh uh electronics, because like doesn't like the airlines, I know I've heard they like do like uh open auctions and stuff eventually after like so many, like so much time, whatever, they get this warehouse full of this stuff, and they're like, we got to get rid of this. Like, we gotta empty it out.

Shawn 20:46

They have, I mean, each each of the major carriers, um, between 500,000 and a million pieces of electronics that is collected every single year. And and what it is, it's the iPhones, the earbuds. Earbuds are crazy. If you go on, and what you're what he's talking about about the online auctions, there's numerous sites that you can go on and and and purchase them, government sites. And then there's one in Alabama. It's a uh it's an airline resale site, and you can actually go online and purchase things online from there, and you can you can go to the store too. But what happens is that they have um they they said roughly uh it's it's 200 to 500,000 iPhones a year alone. Jeez. iPhones. And the one easiest thing that well, actually a couple things, right? Right on yours, do you do you still have that screen on yours if you if you clean it? Okay, so tell them about that screen when you whenever you um click it and you it turns on your phone.

G 21:48

Yeah, I mean mine's right here. So I have I have the screen right here. If you if you take that off, it just opened on me. But um if you if you close it, lock the screen, I have a screen. And I got widgets on there right now. But it says this, you know, if found this iPhone belongs to Sean, right? And but I made that screensaver myself.

Shawn 22:10

Yeah.

G 22:11

You know, like, and I put in my wife's number on the screen so that you can like, oh, you know, get the screen. And that and and it's came back to me. So it's already happened.

Shawn 22:20

That that is one of the best ways on the screensaver, but an easy way, very, very easy. Do you know like the things that you get from the mail and it's got your address and your your address on it? Yeah, it's called address labels. Okay, but I'm just saying you get them in the mail, you smart ass. Just take one of those, stick it on the back, put a piece of clear tape, and you can just do it for whenever if you just want to do it when you travel. Yeah. Just stick it on the back of your iPhone, just in case.

G 22:45

People put the all their stuff on bags. I start, I have my name and number on all kinds of stuff. Like I haven't been on my freaking water bottle. I got it like all kinds of stuff.

Shawn 22:55

I talk to I talk to the cleaners all the time. The other day I was like, on an average, on an average, how many iPads do you find per day? On a cleaning crew, just a normal cleaning crew.

G 23:06

Right.

Shawn 23:06

They'll tell you 25 to 30 iPads a day. That's crazy. 25 to 30 that are in the seatbacks.

G 23:14

Only a only probably, I bet you maybe maybe half of them get returned. Like, you know what I'm saying?

Shawn 23:20

Even less than that. Because what what it is is that they don't have that on their front. And nine out of ten identifying the device. None. Okay, how many times have we collected them? Oh, yeah. When have you ever seen maybe like every once in a while, right? I've never seen that on anybody's phone. Right. I've never seen that.

G 23:38

No, because they want their family, I want my dog, I want something cute on there. Like you could do that. Right. Like I got R2D2 on mine, but I put a little teeny message on there saying, if found, because the one thing you can't do is you can't unlock these, right? Yeah. Unless you, you know, whatever. So they're no good to you. You can't get into them. But if if it has a message on there, just like I have my screensaver, but I also have a message saying, hey, if found, this is how you return it, type of thing. You know, but and then if the phone's dead, now you're kind of SOL unless somebody actually charges it to try to figure out what is going on.

Shawn 24:13

And that goes and most of the airlines will be. And that goes into the mailing label. Yeah. That will help. Smart ass. So that goes into his. Is that what that's called? Shut up. So I'm you know something. I'm gonna come up with a shirt. You know what it is? I'm gonna show up here one day. I'm not kidding you, I'm gonna take it off. And it's gonna go, shut up, Sean. Yes, shut up, Sean.

G 24:34

Well, get something, man. You never have even our logo on it. Shut up, Sean. You got a little baseball character.

Shawn 24:39

Anyway, what I'm saying is that make sure that you take those those mailing labels or something, stick it on a phone. Put it on a phone, put it on your iPad, put it on your laptop because it's not, those are the three things. Now the earbuds, let me tell you, chances of you getting those back, slim to none.

G 24:56

Yeah.

Shawn 24:57

Okay, truthfully, they're slim to none. Unless it's like you have zero to they broke this down. Zero to two hours, you got a decent chance of getting it back.

G 25:04

Yeah.

Shawn 25:05

24 hours, it drops dramatically, right? 48 to 72, they're saying there's a good chance you're not getting it.

G 25:15

Yeah.

Shawn 25:15

Okay. Now after 15 days, it goes from the local airport to a storage facility. Right. Okay. Once it hits that storage facility, it's just a matter of time because then it's like 90 days. Then what is happens? It's bought in bulk. And they they these companies buy this and they clear them out. And then you can go and actually purchase these things. Go back and purchase your own shit from one of them instead of just putting your label on it.

G 25:44

That was being a smart. But most people don't know. Put your label on it. Don't know where to even go to buy that stuff. I know that's a smart ass.

Shawn 25:51

But put your label on it. I mean, there's no reason for you to lose your stuff. The first thing that I do whenever I find something, if I find it in a row with a seat, is I write the flight number, I write the date, I write exactly where it was found at, because that way, down in baggage claim, they have an idea. They have an idea just in case your battery goes out, it knows exactly the seat assignment.

G 26:12

The other thing about this whole thing to like I all these things are great safety precautions, but if the airline doesn't follow their procedures, like all it takes is one employee that just like doesn't follow the procedure, you still, you know, it gets out of that loop, you know, that whole loophole.

Shawn 26:27

So like, like, you know, you can write all that stuff down, and if that note doesn't go with the device, I've walked up, I've walked up, I've mean literally, I've walked up to gates and I've seen earbuds sitting on a gate. Yeah, and they were they hadn't they hadn't go anywhere. Yeah, didn't go anywhere. There ain't no way in hell nobody's getting those things back. Right, right. So that's that's what I'm saying.

G 26:47

Like it only takes one person to take it out of that loop and all that stuff. But I mean, honestly, that's a great idea to like put your address. I put my phone number on my devices and stuff because I want to get it back. You know, getting the address, you know how long it's gonna take before they actually contact you. Yeah, like you need to either have a phone number or I would recommend an email. Right. You know, one of the two, in order that whatever you can feel comfortable with, to have some way for them to contact you. Because I've gotten several things back. I've gotten my phone back, I've got my iPad back, I've gotten freaking uh all kinds of stuff back.

Shawn 27:18

Especially if you're if you're gonna travel. You don't have I mean, if you don't want to do it all the time, when you travel, put that mailing label and then put your phone number and cover it in scotch tape. And when you get home, pull the shit off.

G 27:30

Yeah.

Shawn 27:31

Because you'll know at least it's in your house, but if not, it's gonna be in some damn storage facility. Guarantee you. Yep. So that I mean that that's just just a little something. I mean, because a lot of people are. I mean, I I already seen this last week. We we've turned in probably five different electronic devices this week alone. Right. So just take time, do it, and that way you get your stuff back. But what's been going on with you?

G 27:53

Dude, I was like doing my last trip right now for the month to Rome. Like, had some cool experiences. One to start off. So because I've been going there all month, I was like, you know what? I'm gonna do these lime scooters around Rome. I did it like, you know, I was telling you, I couldn't do it because I lost my ID last week, whatever. And this week I was like, okay, I'm gonna go do these line scooters, and so I recruited all these people. So I had like people like there's three of us on the crew, and so we went out. We went all over Rome. I'm talking, we scootered through the forum, we threw scooter to like down all kinds of like little crazy alleys, you know. On the scooters, you can go anywhere, right? And here's the crazy they nobody says anything to you. Like, I'm I'm going in the middle of squares, scootering around. Yeah, people like people everywhere were scooting through the people. Like, it was just like it was a cool way to like get around Rome. We went all through that forum, we went all the way around the Coliseum, we went up on these hills, went into neighborhoods that like I had never been into. Like, I was like, let's get off the beaten path here. Like, just go and see where you know, how's the Romans really? So you were you were playing the captain of this crew, yeah. And they were just they were like, Where are we going?

Shawn 29:08

I'm like, wherever this thing points me. Like, this is gonna be let me tell you something. That's the one thing about this this guy. Uh, any of you guys, if you're you're on a screw, you're gonna have a good time because that's him. He's like, Where are we going? I don't know that direction. Right, we'll figure it out after that. Let's go. That's exactly what I'm saying.

G 29:25

So here so here's the crazy thing. So the uh lead on her flight, she was like, Let's go up to the keyhole. Let's go up here. Have you ever heard of keyhole? No, okay, neither have I. I didn't know what the heck the keyhole in Rome was. But if you Google it, the keyhole in Rome, it's this place that's up in this like uh uh like villa or something like that, but this has this giant door and has this keyhole that you well, there'll be like lines to this key keyhole, and you look through it, and when you look through it, it has this trellis of all these trees and bushes, and it goes straight view to the Vatican. So the Vatican is pictured perfectly. Oh, cool. So you look through this keyhole, and then right down this long thing is the Vatican. People stand hours in line just to look through that hole. Through that hole to see the Vatican. I'm like, I see the Vatican from anywhere in the world. You can, it takes a little while to do it, but I mean, it was amazing. So, anyways, we went running around in the scooters and we happened upon this. My the lead was like, I want to go to the keyhole. She didn't know where it was. She was just like, I want to go there. So we just happen and like I'm turning. I'm like, I want to go up this way, I want to go that way, whatever. All of a sudden, we're like back in the back alleys, it's up, and we come out, and here's this huge line. And we're like, What's that?

SPEAKER_00 30:41

She's like, This is the keyhole. This is the key. We're got to the keyhole. How did we find the keyhole?

G 30:46

It was just like random, all worked up, yeah, yeah. So, so we uh stopped and we were trying to ask people like how long you're standing in line, nobody understood what the heck they were talking about, or we were talking about. So, anyways, we took these scooters all around Rome, eventually, like jumped down. We jumped onto the river, like at a ramp going down to the river. We scootered along the river all the way back to our hotel, came up the ramp, scooter right back into our neighborhood, the whole nine yards. Scooters were awesome. But here's the thing. So I signed up, and this is like a little uh you know, shout out to everybody out there that wants to like do this. If there's lime scooters, look for the deals. Like sign up for either your like they have like hourly subscriptions where you can do a ball. Or you can do like sign up for like, you know, there's a subscription where you get like a discount because you're a member type of thing. Right. So I signed up for this. It was like 399 uh Euros, whatever, per month, and they give you a discounted price. If you so anytime you use it, every 20 minutes we're like discounted. So I told the lead to do this, she came with me, and then another flight, and he's like, Oh, I don't know how to okay. I said, Well, this is what I do, you know, to keep the price down. So we all get done with our scooters, dude. We were on it for almost two hours. It was like 14 bucks. 14 14 years. It's cool, right? That is cool, yeah. Right. So then leads 14 years. New guy, he gets on there, he didn't sign up. Almost 40 euros. I he was like, he was like, is this right? I'm like, did you sign up for uh did you sign up for the discount? It's right. You messed up, yeah. It's right, yeah, yeah. So, anyways, uh yeah, if you do it in any city, it doesn't matter where you're at, because I like to do them, I've done them on Washington State, I've done them, I've done them in Indianapolis, like all over, anywhere I can you know see them, I'll do them. Yeah. Instead of walking, hell yeah.

Shawn 32:40

So so you went from like the cool guy with him, like, damn, you just cost me 40 euros. Yeah, yeah.

G 32:46

And the funny thing was this that like we were gonna go out and like keep going and stuff, and we were like, oh, we're just gonna go. Because we were driving through the uh the river there.

Shawn 32:55

I'm parking the damn thing right here.

Pizza Lines And Meeting Strangers

G 32:57

Yeah, I'm walking home right. So we were driving through the river, and when we were going through there, this we it was like really long ride on the river, but we were getting pelted with bugs. Like it was like pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. And it's like I mean, we ate some bugs, there was eight bugs in your eyes. There was like there's bugs everywhere. We were like, so by the time we actually got out, I had sunglasses, so it was good for me. And uh the the young guy didn't have him, and so you know, rookie, anyways, so went and looking through so like anyhow, we got up and we got to the hotel, and we just uh just so happened to come up by the hotel. So we're like, let's go up. I'm gonna I'm gonna freshen up, jump in the shower, take a little shower, get the mugs off me. Dude, brush my teeth a little bit. What the hell is that? So then anyhow, he's like, after he sees his bill, he's like, I can't eat. Yeah, I think I'm gonna pass. Yeah. He didn't go to dinner some bread. Yeah, he was gonna go to dinner with us all this time. Uh I think I'm gonna pass now. Like go up and have a pretzel. Yeah, he was, I was, I was, I was sad for the guy, but I understood what the fuck. Thanks a lot, Sean. Yeah. But yeah, yeah. So, anyways, the other thing we did was we had this uh this thing where we were we were getting pizza, and you know, this was this was on uh the trip before, and I didn't tell you about this experience, but it was it was amazing. We were two of us, we go to this pizza place, and we get there, there's this big old line. Well, we're not paying attention, we're just like, oh, maybe we can find another place. And so I'm like, my friends, she's staying in the line, I'm going to scout, right? So, anyways, we get back and um and this couple behind me and says, Hey, would you be willing to share a table? Because I think they're if you're a bigger group, they're sitting them sooner than little groups, right? So the guy comes out of the restaurant and he's like, How many of your party? Two, how many year three, uh, two, two. He gets to me and I'm like, four. He's like, Come here, come here. So I was like, Whoa, dude, you know, thanks. You know, this is awesome. So we sit down and we met this couple from Bulgaria that was the coolest. They're like world traveled, they like been all over the country, all of these different countries, been to the United States, been like to the you know, the main thing. She they're like, they've been to Alaska, they've been to New York, they've been to LA, you know, like it was it was really cool. But the whole experience of like the you know, meeting somebody from a different world, and they were trying to explain to us the whole like different cultures and other stuff. And we were talking about how we love the ice cream here and the gelato and all this stuff, and they're like, Oh, you gotta come to Turkey. We have ice cream there, but it's like taffy. And we're like, we're like, What? He's like, Yeah, yeah, it's like tapping. So then they like pulled it up online, like showed us, and it looked like you're like making taffy. And I was like, Is it you know, you're thinking it's gonna be hot? And I'm like, how's this ice cream? No, they're like, it's cold, but it this this is the consistency. I was like, now I gotta go.

Shawn 35:56

You gotta go. I was like, he's going now. You got what are you going for? I'm going for taffy ice cream. No shit. I was like, Yeah, that would be cool.

G 36:05

Yeah, so I was like, wow, but anyways, it was awesome. I mean, the experience abroad to be able to meet new people and all this stuff and how friendly people were that were there, it's just one of the best things that's one of the best things about our job is all these different people you meet, domestically and internationally.

Shawn 36:20

Yeah, because you meet these people, I mean, even with that, out of the blue, right? You guys want to share a table? Oh, hell yeah. You sit down, next thing you know, is it like you're you're France, and they spoke really good English, so that you know, that helped.

G 36:32

And I was we were like, How do you speak English so well and all this stuff? And they were like, Oh, we've you know, we studied abroad and all this stuff, and they were a young couple, but they were you know pretty wealthy, they had good jobs and all this stuff, so they were able to that's all they do with their money is like they literally tour around the world.

Shawn 36:48

And there's those so many of those couples that are like that too. Yeah, because they use you'll find them on cruises too, they do the same thing, right? They these people that travel around the world and you just happen to run into them.

G 36:58

But here's the interesting aspect to that, what you're saying. You know, Americans, we work our whole damn life to like, okay, at the end of our life, we're gonna go do this. Yeah, you know, yeah, and it's so sad, yeah. And people die, like you know, and they don't get that chance to do it. Like, I tell everybody right now, like, seize the moment. Yeah, like you were saying, when I go on a when I go on a trip, I don't sit in my room ever. Like I go out, like literally, I might not have agenda, but I'm like, okay, today I'm walking that way.

Shawn 37:29

You know, like it's you know, but I I'm really happy for you with this one because you know, I when I first started, I I did all the international. I mean, I did, you know, down the um I did all the South Pack, right? Yeah, Manila Guam, the Philippines, Tahiti, all those. And now for you, you're getting to actually experience this, and it's a whole different animal. Oh, it's a whole different animal. I mean, are we?

G 37:48

We're gonna bring G on a trip.

Shawn 37:50

Uh uh domestic is completely different than international flying, and especially on your layovers, too. Because exactly what you're saying, the the things that you go do are completely different.

G 38:00

Way different. Yeah, the domestically, like I'm always like, it's like, you know, hey, where are we eating? Where's a good restaurant? What kind of food do they have? Every now and then we're at a destination where, oh, there's something to go see or something like that. But it for the most part, most of our layovers and stuff are in a big city, and they're not really much too much to see that we haven't already seen, things like that.

Shawn 38:19

But you being a foodie, though, the places you're going, you're in heaven. I'm in heaven because it's all it's all that natural flavor, it's none of that, none of that sugary flavor and shit.

Artichokes And Rome’s Jewish Ghetto

G 38:28

And this last trip I ate so well. Oh, here's another uh little thing that we did on this trip. So, you know, I love artichokes. You know I love artichokes. He has them shipped to the house. Yeah, artichokes are like a big thing in my life and everything. Well, you know, the Jews brought artichokes to Rome historically, and they taught the Romans how to eat artichokes, hence, there's Roman artichokes, and so the Roman artichoke is a certain way of marinating and cooking this artichoke and other stuff, so you can have Roman artichokes. Well, the Jews they have Jewish artichokes, and a Jewish artichokes is like a fried artichoke, and they like flowered it out and they they and they deep fried this artichoke, super awesome! Like it's so delicious. So we went to the Jewish ghetto, which is actually an area in Rome. You can Google it. Highly recommend everybody go there. There's a whole line of restaurants there, and they're all Jewish-owned restaurants, and they sell multiple different types of archokes. So we ate at this restaurant, it was nothing but archokes. So every dish we ate was artichokes. We had artichokes salad, we had our we had the uh Jewish artichokes, right? We had we did this uh baked artichokes that was with mozzarella and tomato sauce. Dude.

Shawn 39:47

You know, that just uh but when you're when you're even when you're saying that, think about that. Yeah, okay. Now you go international and you're you want to rush down to the Jewish ghetto to eat, right? In the United States, you're not gonna rush down to the ghetto.

G 40:02

No.

Shawn 40:04

Right?

G 40:05

I mean, and here's the other thing You're not gonna rush down to the ghetto, the really cool area for the restaurant. So, like the Pope declared this area that that called it this um Jewish ghetto, right? And uh it was because they had all this traditional, this is it, and the synagogue is real close to that, right? But one of the safest places right now at this moment in Rome is right there. Yeah, why the whole freaking area I'm talking is loaded with carbonary, which is their military police. Yeah, every corner, they got freaking boxes there where they like holes where like machine guns can stick out of them to protect, like it's crazy because they're protecting the synagogue.

Shawn 40:45

I know, but that I I think that's so funny in a different country when you reference the ghetto, right? In our country, you say ghetto, nobody wants to go to the ghost. Oh no, I'm not going there. Even the people that live there don't want to go there, right? Yeah, but you reference the ghetto somewhere else, you're like, oh yeah, man, we're going to the ghetto.

Retirement Confusion And Money Basics

G 41:01

Yeah, there's a whole nother like um like Colosseum there that used to be like an amphitheater. So uh highly recommended. Like, people don't even realize that stuff is in Rome and stuff, but it's another like the whole entire crew, nobody had ever been there. Yeah, and I was like, What? You don't like artists. So you scooter, you you and you went to the ghetto, right? Man, you had a good trip. Uh yeah, there's one last thing I gotta tell uh tell you because uh we we had to get going here on this stuff and talk about what you're doing. But uh I got on this trip and I started talking to these flight attendants, and there's something a subject that came up that I think that I'm gonna start doing some special videos for and put it on our website.

Shawn 41:42

Really?

G 41:43

And that is our population, our culture, flight attendants, people that are traveling, all this stuff. We are so undereducated on financial information. Yeah. And there's so many people right now for us that have no clues about retirement or even how to even start to think about it. Like it blows my mind like how many people, our age on the trip, and like right now, I flew with a guy who's 70 years old, did relatively well with saving money and stuff, but all he did was save money. But he had no idea that at 70 years old he should be at a totally different like using working his money a different way. People don't understand all these things. So I'm thinking I'm gonna do like small little video things, not saying I'm a financial advisor, but it'd be like good information for people to be like, hey, you should know this. Yeah, when you hit 59 and a half, there's a whole bunch of shit you need to know. Yeah, and just like information, FYI information. So I'm gonna I'm gonna put that out there. That's cool. And I've also uh put together like a calculator and how to like calculate your retirement and all this stuff and what to be looking for with links and all this stuff. Look for it on our website. Very cool, definitely.

The Worst Ramp Job Goes Wrong

Shawn 42:54

Very cool. But look for this one. Did um the the guy that was um cleaning out the labs. I know I'm completely switching on you, but I had to. I've been waiting to say to tell him about this. Okay, we've so they had this video, they had a video of this of this guy that was um uh that was empty in the labs.

G 43:11

Oh god, I saw this.

Shawn 43:13

Did you see that one?

G 43:14

Dude, so this guy, as you can see, the it it the the lab thing, the valve opens up and he doesn't have the tube connected, and that's literally the shit comes pouring.

Shawn 43:27

I've always thought the worst job in in the whole industry is that guy that's gotta hook up that hose to the shit tank.

G 43:37

There's no way shit tank, really, because what happened And you're driving around a truck filled with the shit.

Shawn 43:42

Yeah. But you have to empty and go back up and fill up. Like that's my job. Hands, okay. That's a shit job. This video, this guy goes to hook this up, and this is the worst part about if you ever know, like a hose. Right is a pressurized hose because everything's shooting straight down. Well, the hose doesn't connect and the shit just keeps flowing. And he can't now connect it because the shit's flowing. And it's just flowing straight down. But he, when he seen this video, he was like, Oh my God, shit's everywhere. And I'm like, no, think about the off spray. The spray from the hose just all over your face.

G 44:18

I'm thinking on the ramp. I'm like, how do you think? Look at that. It's just on your body. You're being covered all over it. The off spray is, I mean, dude. I'm going home. I'm throwing my clothes away. Shoes are gonna be burned. I'm going home. Yeah. My day just ended. Nastiest damn job. I couldn't even be functioning the rest of the day. No. That's nasty. No. I wouldn't do it. Would you do it? I don't know. No. I'd clean the planes. There's no way.

Shawn 44:45

I'm ramping. I'm doing anything else other than dumping the shit on an airplane. Yeah. I'm not doing that. No. What would you do for the interview? I love the smell of shit. Yeah. Why'd you want to do that?

G 44:59

I love hanging around shit.

So I shot a picture of Thing, and I'm like, okay. She probably would have let you just ask her if she would have let you take it. I didn't know she was on our plane because we were like in between gates. So I'm like, oh, let her be on my plane. Because you guys, let me tell you something. I tell you, I love our job because of this. It's not normal. What we do, what we do is not normal. There's nothing normal about what we do. I mean, even in our whole life, there's nothing normal. I think about this all the time. Nothing is normal about what we do. No. And seeing Wednesday Adam dressed up with thing on her track. Loving it. No, I'm loving it. Because I'm like, just bring her on my plane. Just bring her on my plane. And then I turn around, I look at the jet way, and I'm like, Wednesday. Here she comes. Here she comes, man. She got thing on her shoulder. And I'm sitting there going, oh God, I want this picture. I want this picture. So as as she comes on, she's petting thing, and I'm like, uh, you does thing want a sanitizing wipe? She goes and she sits down. And then she she's Did she take one? Well, no, she took she took thing and she set thing on her lap.

Salt Lake City Airport Design Rant

Shawn 47:11

I know I do love about her job. I mean, seriously, I I love people watching. I love airports, love sitting out there, but I love it when you guys come on airplanes. I do. I mean, I I don't care. I love it. I love the difference of people because it just makes me laugh. Gives me something to talk about all the time. Even in the galley, I'm like, did you see Wednesday? I'm got a thing hanging on there. So I had to tell you, went to uh Salt Lake City Airport. Yeah. All right. And I I I love that airport. I haven't been there. Yeah. And that new one. What do you like about it? This is what I liked about it, okay? I was gonna tell you. It's it's a long ass walk. Okay, but that's what you like about it? Listen. No, when I went there, a long ass tunnel. I know. I'm gonna get to the point. So we went down the tunnel and every section, did you did have you been there yet? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Of course you've been there, whatever. Um, every section of moving sidewalk, it was a different genre of music. Did you notice that? Um, yeah. You did notice that. Look at that. Yeah, I didn't know. Yeah, I noticed it. Didn't excite you at all? No. Well, there's a buzz kill. No, here's a here's really cast. I thought it was a cool airport. I the only thing, the only thing, and I could go on and on about it because it it was this airport, they had it was like a$1.8 billion budget, and it went all the way up to$5 billion.

G 48:31

Yeah.

Shawn 48:31

Somebody got fired on that one. That was I thought that was funny.

G 48:34

Yeah.

Shawn 48:34

But uh$5 billion budget. This is beautiful. I love the the design, the inside of it. It was huge. He's getting ready to blow this up. I can already tell you. Yeah, I I know him, I've known him for years. I am two seconds from letting listen, I'm just gonna go ahead and let him do it. Two, one, go ahead, blow this airport up.

G 48:55

Yeah, it was.

Shawn 48:56

Yeah, I know you're going to. Go ahead.

G 48:57

It's a shit show airport.

Shawn 48:58

I told you.

G 48:59

I told you. That's why that's why I specifically asked you. Why do you like it? Because I want to hear all the pros to it. Because here's the cons. The cons, it sucks if you are a freaking like if you have any type of like handicap. Okay. The longest walking airport in the United States. I'm talking, it's like it's probably further than Atlanta. It is, it's just it is like so ridiculous. And whoever designed it and spent all that money on this, stupid. You start on one side of Utah, you end up on the other side of Utah. You design the airport where you come into the center and you walk in, and it's a beautiful, like huge open experience and all this stuff, and you're like, wow, what a pretty airport. Giant food court. Well, because you need food to survive to be able to get to that gate.

Shawn 49:49

Yeah, if you're letting you're not gonna make it.

G 49:51

There's no way because they put the connection to get to the other concourse that you can see through these beautiful windows way, way across. Yeah. And it is not like close like Chicago, it's way across. Yeah, they put it all the way at the end of the concourse at the very end. The connect through this pretty tunnel with different music going through it that seems like miles. Told you he's gonna kill it. It's horrible. And then if you were I feel I don't know what airlines are at the very end of that other concourse that, like I can't imagine being at that blast gate. I mean, it it is an awful design of an airport experience. I mean, they need to like build a new tunnel in the middle, like you would think it would just go over in the middle and then be able to branch off like any normal airport, but they put it all the way to the end. It's terrible. That's what I got to say. I told you he's gonna blow it up. Hey, I avoid flying there now. Really? Like I used to go to Salt Lake City and all that stuff. Like, I don't I like going down there. Lots of cool ethnic food. I get around on my scooters there, all that stuff. I like the layover, but I'm not going there because the airport sucks. There you go.

Shawn 50:59

In a nutshell. Sean thinks Salt Lake City such is a five billion dollar bust.

G 51:04

If, yes, if they got line scooters in the airport that I could get around on, okay, I'm good. There you go.

Foul Ball Karma And Final Quote

Shawn 51:11

I knew it was gonna happen. I was just waiting. I could, I could tell, I could tell. But but okay, we're gonna do one around the globe, yeah, and then we're gonna get out of here. Guardians game.

He doesn't happen over and over. Stole the ball, goes over, sits down. They're sitting there. Little girl's got her glove on, she's all upset.

You know, like those types of balls, simple, I get like I'm gonna keep that ball because it's a there's a significant one. There's a lot of money. But a foul ball, you know, come on, please.
