We Need to Talk About Our Feelings...

A bag tag is supposed to help your suitcase get home, not get you pulled off a plane.

In this episode, we start with a terrifying travel warning about a baggage scam where criminals switch luggage tags, potentially connecting an innocent traveler to a drug-filled bag. We break down what happened, why it matters, and the simple habit every traveler should start doing before checking luggage. Whether you fly all the time, travel standby, or only head to the airport once in a while, this is one of those safety tips you will not forget.

Then, in true Cabin Pressure fashion, we go from serious to ridiculous in record time. G shares the “horchata” moment that somehow turned into an airport word-of-the-day game, we take an unexpected trip through Taco Bell memories, and we get into the airline work stories that remind us how much happens behind the scenes. From “Amazing Dina” getting the spotlight to the unseen teamwork that keeps flights moving, we talk about the crew moments passengers rarely notice.

We also give a well-deserved shoutout to the rare parent who boards like a professional: bags stacked, kids handled, aisle cleared, no rescue required. You know who you are, and we appreciate you.

Then things get painfully real. We talk germs on planes, sick coworkers who insist they are “not contagious,” and why so many people still show up to work even when they should probably be home with soup and a blanket. From there, we somehow land in dentist anxiety, tooth sensitivity, fillings, crowns, and the great debate over the dreaded numbing shot.

We close with a perspective check that hits harder than expected: imagine throwing all your problems into a hat with everyone else’s and then having to pull one out at random. Would you really trade?

G 4:08

I don't know.

Shawn 4:09

I thought they had like the 24 pack. I think they still had the 10 pack or 12 pack or something like that. So you'd reheat some of them the next day. It wasn't it wasn't good enough that you flush your system out, right? You're in the toilet the whole damn time. And then you didn't learn. No. Because then they have like the It was cheap. Yeah, but they had them there. It tastes good. Oh, the cheapest thing, you know what the cheapest thing on the menu was? What's that? The bean burrito. The bean, oh yeah, bean burritos. You could get like a bean burrito for like 79 cents.

No. Have you ever had their chili cheese burritos? Nope. Oh, dude. The chili cheese burritos, they'll still give you the shits, but they're good. It's like cheese and then it has that chili flavor, but it's like a little spicy. And instead of being the beans and stuff, you know, you know, all that stuff. So like 24 hours later, you're in the toilet going, woo! Yeah, you know, damn, whatever, man. What is that smell? Yeah, some some people will use like uh metamusle and shit like that.

No. Okay, so everybody out there in the world that's ever traveled and you gotta go here, like if you want to go on a cool vacation, go to the British Island, or not the British Virgin Islands, but the I think it's I I gotta be checked on this one, but it's either one, I think it's American Virgin Islands, but it might be the British Virgin Islands, but they're right there next to each other. But there's a place called Jos van Dyke. Joss Van Dyke is this little teeny island, it has nothing but these little like tiki bars on the island. You jump off the your boat or whatever, however you get there, okay? You need to get there by boat, and you go to this place called the soggy dialogue dogger.

unknown 8:03

Wow.

G 8:03

We're having all kinds of fucking problems today, right? The soggy dialogue. Okay? The soggy dollar, because you jump off the boat with your money slowly and your money's wet, so the soggy dollar specializes in painkillers. And they give them give you two-fisted painkillers. Really? And uh it's it's it's just basically a drink, a rum drink that's made with uh they like great um uh what is it? Oh gosh, there's a spice that goes on top of it.

But here here's the thing about like crazy names and drinks. Yeah. And this is funny because like um, you know, working in the restaurant industry over the years and all that stuff, you know, you find out like certain places they just make up their own shit and then they call them whatever they want. You know, there's no way they didn't make that shit up. Some of them they catch. There's no way they didn't make that shit up, I'm telling you.

No. Like just to like, you got to get there, indock you in, and then they're like, okay, you need you're on your own.

Shawn 12:03

No, we got a discount at the hotel. It was like I think it was like 70 bucks a night for the three nights. And yeah, you got three nights, but it was three nights at like $70 for the. You had to pay? Yeah.

G 12:14

Oh about it.

Shawn 12:15

Yeah, you had to pay for it. And then um you had to go out and find a place to live.

G 12:18

Right.

Shawn 12:18

I was combing that freaking island, man, and I ended up at the Alamo Alauna Flea Market. A la Moana Flea Market. Yeah, that was a little tongue twister. So I sat down there, I was I was at a bench and I was uh talking to an elderly woman, and uh I was sharing a pineapple with her, and she was telling me that she um she was married, missionary's wife, living on the um island, and uh she had like five houses on the island. He was dead. And I I was told her my situation that I was poor, didn't have any money. And she That's good because she was trying to pick up a little lone, uh homeless uh Hallie boy guy boy eating pineapple. Yeah, eating pineapple. Yeah. You sick. Well, sick bastard, suffering bastard, that's what you are. That's my nickname for you today. Sick bastard. Sick suffering bastard. But anyway, I shared the pineapple with her, and I was telling her my sad sap story. Didn't didn't expect anything. And she goes, I'll tell you what, she gives me um her phone number, she gives me an address, and she goes, do check this out if you're interested. She goes, I'll tell you what. She goes, give me a call and I can rent this to you. So I I'm I'm like, I'm kind of expediting this a little bit. So it's in Salt Lake, it's in Salt Lake. Shut up. It's in Salt Lake. So I go up to the top of the mountain. Long story short, I look at this. I have wait, time out, time out. You just said it's in Salt Lake. Yeah, Salt Lake in in uh over by the airport.

G 13:43

Okay.

Shawn 13:44

That's a little bit not to be mistaken, it's Salt Lake, Seattle. Like you were last time, right? Salt Lake is a small little town area. We're in Hawaii. She's going. So I go to the very top of this, this um, I I call it a big hill, but they said it's a mountain. Get there, you're there. And I looked at, I looked at this, I looked at this house and I'm like, well, come on, man. This is this is the starting of a of a freaking flat of tennis career. I'm looking at this, I have a two-bedroom, two-bathome, stilted home. So I went from basically living in a tent to a two-bedroom, two-bathroom stilted home. Boom. I couldn't have ran down that hill fast enough because we didn't have cell phones back then. I could shut up. I knew that he was. See, this is what you got to deal with when you're.

It's in 1080K. Yeah, it's like a vampire eye. If you've seen it, man, it was like it's like that blood shot red.

G 22:28

Yeah.

Shawn 22:29

Been sucking on some bland vampire blood. But anyway, um, I was coughing like crazy.

G 22:34

You know, that happens when you get to be old.

Shawn 22:36

I know, I'm old. I'll be the first one to admit that I'm old. No kidding. But yeah, but anyway, I hate flying with a cold. But the worst part of it is when you go back and like four or five days later you fly with that same person and they're fine and you're hacking. Yeah, and you're hacking. Yeah, you did this to me. Yeah, you did it. You got it. You got it. This is this is a gift that you you were like, oh yeah, I was. And the first thing, you know me, the first thing, you were contagious.

G 23:00

Right.

Shawn 23:01

Yeah, you were contagious. I've been up all fucking night. I can't breathe. I thought I'd bring this back to you. Who's your doctor? Who's your doctor? I need to talk to him. Dr. Google. Dr. Google, man. But anyway, go back to the dentist. You know, I hated going to the dentist as a kid. Oh man.

G 23:16

You know, it's that sound. I don't know about I didn't like hate it because uh dentists don't they don't scare me, but I know they scare a lot of people. Like as a kid? Yeah. Did you have a lot of work done? Did you have live work done? There's not like a back tooth in my mouth that's real. Like there's that's like me too.

Shawn 23:31

I had I had like all this. Ever since I was a kid, I had I had the work done as a kid.

G 23:35

Yeah.

Shawn 23:35

But when I when I got to being like, I don't know, I guess like 20s in my 20s, I didn't have any problems.

G 23:41

Right. None. Well, you started being a responsible adult. You took care of yourself. No, I broke my teeth. Brushing your teeth, right? And all this. I brush my teeth all the time. But it's it's it's more than just brushing, it's also like diet and health, the whole like like teeth are like the uh what is it, the starting of your health. Yeah. Because everything comes through your mouth, right? Yeah. You know, you're eating all this stuff, all the bacteria, you're breathing, all this stuff, everything comes into your mouth. Yeah. So the healthier mouth determines the health of your body too. Yeah. I mean, so the more the better your health in your mouth is, the better you are healthy. Right. And so if you start keeping up with your health and we're working out and you're keeping track, you know, like doing the right things and trying to stay healthy, eating the right foods, all this stuff, then your teeth and your mouth is gonna be healthy too. And that's what I'm saying. Like it's not, it's not just like, you know, oh, just because you got older. I'm just saying, like, you know, as a kid, we don't know. Our parents tell us whatever, they try to do the best they can, whatever. We try to brush. Brushing isn't everything. All I said was I fucking didn't like going to the dentist.

Shawn 24:42

I'm like, I sit in there and all of a sudden I got this whole this thing from like my dad. I just said he didn't like going to the dentist because it's like, yeah. See, this is the part of the show where people like Didn't you ever feel like that? I mean, come on. You like this? The dentist. Okay, you know when you go to the dentist. Yeah, let's get off that one. But you go to the dentist and he's like, starts talking to you. It's like, well, uh, you feeling any pain? Uh uh dentist can always under how do they do that? I don't know. They can understand everything that you say.

G 25:10

Yeah.

Shawn 25:10

I mean, you you'll be like, ah, oh yeah, yeah. Really? Is that that one still hurt? Uh-huh. They know exactly what you're saying.

G 25:20

Why do they try to start a conversation when you got something in your mouth? Exactly. I know that.

Shawn 25:25

Oh, so how'd your weekend go? This is good. They do that shit on purpose, right? And now years ago, the worst part was the shot. Yeah. Now that you put like baby or gel, the numbing it.

G 25:40

Dude, I okay. So there's here's it, here's my thing. You're saying you're like dentist, you didn't like it all this time. There's only one part of the dentist that I do not like, and that is the shot. Yeah. Like any of that numbing stuff, yeah, I can't do it, man. Like literally. So when I got to my older age and I got into my, you know, yeah, when I finally realized why I really didn't like the dentist, I was like, I hate that shot. I hate being numb. I hate that monkey face, and you know, like that whole like slob we're in Jerusalem. So Bill Murray, remember Bill Murray at Cash?

SPEAKER_00 26:15

I swear to God, it's gonna go about 100 yards over there. That's exactly what you feel like, right? Exactly. Your lips is like hanging down. You're like, Well, you gonna go get something to eat? I really like to, but I don't think it's gonna stay inside my mouth for a while. Exactly.

G 26:28

So, anyways, so I got to the point in where, like, if I had to have a cavity fill, I'd tell the dentist, don't give me a shot. Really? Yep. Ask my dentist right now. You went in, you went and got grinded on it, dude. Even to the this day, if I have a little surface cavity, I got something like just a minor surface cavity, I'm like, drill, baby. Drill, baby, drill. Is he smart or dumb? Dude, I walk out of there. So here's the thing the number one thing that people don't like is that vibration, like you said in the beginning. You're like, you're like, I don't like that vibration, grinding and all that shit, right? So people don't like that. But if you could put up with that grat, like that doesn't hurt, it's just like that sensation, right? Yeah, it's not like a pain, it's like a sensation. So if you can deal with that, so my dentist now, anytime I have a cavity or anything, like if it's a surface cavity, you know, it's just like I'm like, is this surface? Like he's like, Yeah, I'm like drill. So he's like, he's in there.

Shawn 27:32

If he ever has to pull one, I want to come in because I don't yank that bug out.

G 27:36

So here's here's the thing. So if I have a um, if I have like a deep thing, like it's gonna be like a root, like I've had many root canal, and I've had crowns, and uh, you know, I have implants, I got that type of stuff, give me the shit. Give me the needle, right? Yeah, right, right. If you're gonna go down to the whole thing, give me the needle, but don't give me, don't give me this uh, you know, like uh freaking hang on one second. Now that we were rudely interrupted, yeah, exactly. You know what, but that's well, this is real life. Yeah, it is. Like that's the one thing. Like, uh, we do this the show down in my freaking basement here.

Shawn 28:15

Yeah, and we're always your shit turned on and I have mine turned off.

G 28:19

Yeah, well, well, I have my shit off. But here's the crazy thing like my technology, I'm like hooked up everywhere. Yeah, like now I go out to my garage and like my my phone now is my key to my car and all that stuff. So now every time I walk in my garage, it's like beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. I'm like it's like anywhere you go, and it drives my wife nuts. Okay, there it goes again.

Shawn 28:42

And on cue, I said drive my wife nuts, and there she is. Oh, we're gonna pause for a moment. So I I don't care. I I still cannot believe that you would not use a shot, even even uh the to get a cavity. Nope. Me not smart. Remember, that's his favorite phrase is me not smart.

G 29:02

I don't care. I don't care how many times I've done it, like I've done it so much.

Shawn 29:04

But if they what they like if they went a little and got hit the nerve. Stop.

G 29:10

Come up, stop, freeze, stop, give me a shot. Like I'll tell them when to stop. Like, yeah. Also, you don't even have to like hit the nerve, you just have to get close to the nerve. Like once you start getting close to it, you'll know you'll be like, okay.

unknown 29:24

Stop.

Shawn 29:25

Give me a shot. You can't go straight up, right? I need a shot. All right. Well, I'm not gonna talk about that one because I'm gonna go there, hopefully, just get a cavity filled, and then I'll be out of there by tomorrow.

G 29:35

Dude, check this out. Ever since like um probably about 10 years ago, I started, you know, and I know you I know because I always see in your mouth, like we grew up in the silver age, like all of our cavities, we got the silver fillings and all that shit, right? So you get like you look in your mouth and you get all these like little black marks now back in the your stuff. So I started re-started as I was getting like crowns and stuff like that. I was like, you know what? Let's refill those to like natural looking because now they have the ones that look like the same color as your tooth. So I started like slowly doing that through my whole mouth. So like now I don't think I have a silver filling in my mouth.

Shawn 30:14

Yeah, but you know something? Okay, my dentist, my dentist, he he's it's like he goes back and forth on that. He said, because he he finds that there's some people that when they have their white fillings put in, they have sensitivity problems with white fillings.

G 30:28

Yeah, it's it's just well see here, but I had I had the exact opposite. You know that uh you're eating, yeah, and you hit a fork on that filling. No, I get that, and you get that like zinger, zinger, yeah. Like I just electrocuted myself or something, like right. So that's what I was getting because I had so much silver in my mouth, I was like getting that too often. So I was like, uh no, I gotta get rid of this stuff. Yeah, and then they started telling me about how you can replace it with this stuff looks like tooth and stuff. So I was like, well, that's good because I don't want to like uh like the the people that are in out there, no offense to anybody that likes to do this or anything, but they put those grills on and shit and all that, you know, like all that stuff, you know, put the stuff in their teeth and like diamonds in their teeth and all that shit. I don't I don't dig that shit. No, that looks stupid, Sean. Yeah, and you probably aren't gonna get flighted and hired. No, you look stupid with a grill.

Shawn 31:19

You you look dumb. Ha. Would you like some tea? You look dumb. They look dumb. They do. You know they do. They look stupid.

G 31:30

Anybody that got that shit on their teeth, they looked at it. Well, I mean, some of them it's like they have a it's just a little snap in the city. I don't care. I get listen, I'm do I'm I started off with a dump.

Shawn 31:40

I got bling.

G 31:41

Yeah, I don't I don't like any of that. No, we're stupid.

Shawn 31:44

I'm just talking about getting a damn fill.

G 31:46

Yeah, I'm trying to, I gotta try to get all that shit out of my mouth. The more metal out of my mouth, the m the better I am. I mean, in fact, like I have two crowns right now that I want to get done. Like you're talking about getting your uh uh filling done. I want to get that done. Like I need to replace two crowns that have now chipped and cracked because I grind my teeth, you know, at night. So I gotta let those two replace just because I've been like reaching in and fork hits it and I get the zinger. Yeah. I'm like, oh no.

Shawn 32:15

Well, the kids these days, I mean, now, I mean, even when Jackson was young, they sealed them. You know how they seal their teeth? Yeah, they put a sealer in and they yeah, I mean, it does a lot better for their teeth. Helping the enamel, yeah, protect their enamel. It does, it does a good job. But um, you know, the other thing I was talking about this week is uh germs in flying. You know, when when they're

Germs On Planes And Sick Coworkers

Shawn 32:34

talking about um germs on the airplane, what comes to mind to you? I mean, the the the spots that come to mind.

G 32:41

Um what comes to mind to me? Geeve being sick, bringing his ass to work. Yeah, your flight attendant.

Shawn 32:50

The other damn flight attendant that bringing his ass to work. You know, we didn't make me sick. We didn't we didn't actually talk about that. We didn't talk about that, you just talked about it. We're probably the biggest spreaders of all this. We are. But we got yeah, but we have to come to work sick.

G 33:02

Well, you don't have to work.

Shawn 33:03

No, you do. You don't have to. Okay, if you if you called out every time you got sick being a flight attendant, your ass would be out a lot. Listen, my ass is out a lot. Well, that's true.

G 33:14

Thank you. So here's the here's a scoop. Most people can't afford to take the time off, just like at any other job, because when you're sick, you want to kind of like push through it. You still want to make that bank, you want to, you know, have your lifestyle known stuff. Absolutely. That's normal. Like that's we're no different than anybody else out in the world, right? Right. But for us, you know, it's like being in that classroom, that you know, school teacher classroom, when everybody starts getting sick, everybody's getting classrooms getting sick, type of thing. Yeah, it's the same thing with us. So, yes, you can stay home, but most people don't. And like, even like our company, like is always encouraged you take care of your health, stay home when you're sick. Yeah, but you're not paying me. Yeah.

Shawn 33:56

You know, it's funny because you know, when people come on, they start their wipe down process, you know, trade tables and everything. And we always talk about make sure you catch the headrest and the armrest and everything, but you really don't think about your flight attendant is probably your biggest distributor of germs.

G 34:13

Germ cat, you know, distributor. Yeah. Because they're touching the coffee. Exactly.

Shawn 34:18

Would you like some tea? Exactly. How do you know? Would you like my cold? Would you like my flu? It's like 50%, depending on you know, it's like I'm fast, so 75% gets it in my flight.

G 34:31

Yeah, if you see a flight attendant and they're like or they're they're they're sneezing. I'm good, or they're like, yeah, yeah. I'm good. I'll wait for the other flight attendant. From that flight attendant.

Shawn 34:41

I'll take it from the other flight attendant. If they're out there sniffling or whatever, pay attention to your crew. Don't always be tuned out, right? Right, right. Be tuned into your crew.

G 34:49

Yeah, yeah. That's a that that's classic, man. It is so total classic. Man, so here's the thing. So uh this weekend um went over to Indiana and uh like a nor, you know, obviously obviously I mentioned this a lot. Yeah, it seems like I'm always doing this, right? And you're talking about germ carrier. Yeah, like my little niece turned seven, you know, had a big party. Oh, kids are we had like little germ bugs everywhere, running around, the whole nine yards. It was like it was a fun uh it was a fun weekend and all this stuff, but like kids, like I I don't know, like how when was the last time you around like young kids like that? Well, uh no, on a plane, every damn day on the plane, everything. But the one thing like little You mean grouped up, like yeah, just grouped up, like a whole bunch of kids and stuff like that. Like, it amazes me when you see like kids are like all in, all into it. Oh yeah, they're digging, they're like wiping it on themselves, and they're like they're doing all kinds, eating it and like holding it. And I'm like, yeah, hold this. I need this, like like slobbering, like when they mount they mount the, I don't have a bottle here, but they mount the bottle the whole bottle and they drink and then they bash wash uh backwash.

Shawn 36:01

You're like we're old, man. See, I'm like, you know how you ever see that commercial, like you became your parents? You became your parents, yeah. You just became your parents. I'm like, ugh, yeah. These kids are gross. You've been like, you've been he just became his parents. Because you know, when you were younger, there you wouldn't even look at that kid, kid's digging in his nose, nasty little kid. Dude's nice. Right now you're like, no, I ain't eating that.

G 36:24

Dude, I was when I was over. This happened uh the last time I was in uh Japan, right? I'm walking out on the street, and you know how you're like you walk by a shop and they're eating and stuff, and this pretty nice looking Asian woman sitting there, and all of a sudden she reaches up and booed me, she goes spelunking in her left nostril. And she's like grinding it around, and I'm like, You forgot about her looks went right out the window. You just like, oh, you straight nasty, dude. It was nasty, but I mean you you get that every now and then you like catch people like doing stuff like that. I mean, we all do it. Like, who who had who in this world hasn't picked their nose?

Shawn 37:07

No, I know when you get when you get caught, you want like somebody looks at you like this, and next thing you know, they're like, ooh, you you nasty. Because you don't they don't have a tissue. Oh then what are you gonna do? You you already know that, right? Oh yeah, I know. Listen because when there's not a tissue around, you're like, okay, now what are you gonna do? Yeah, now what are you gonna do with it? What are you gonna do with it? Yeah, what let's go where's that finger going? Now I'm staying tuned in because I'm I want to know where that thing's going, so so I'm not part of it. That is so keep your booger finger away from me. Girl just went from good looking to nasty. You so nasty. That is crazy, man. That is so crazy.

G 37:49

For those of you at home that just saw Sean go dark, we had technical difficulties. Sean's always dark.

Shawn 37:58

That's just part of his genetic makeup. Don't be getting racist here. He called me a white ghost last week. That's pretty much.

G 38:07

Okay, so so uh G the Ghost, what's up? Now see, I forgot.

Shawn 38:18

I threw him off so much he doesn't even know what he's talking about. I don't even know what I'm talking about now. Um oh uh yes I do. So um that is that is that is absolutely so nasty, right? You go from this good-looking girl to digging up in your nose and you're back there? Well, that's what we were cutting into. Are you cutting into that? What are you doing then? I have no idea what you're doing. I thought you were just fucking around.

SPEAKER_00 38:43

No, we're done. We were done with it. So you're just cutting in. You're beating a dead horse.

Shawn 38:52

We're done with booker talking. So now we're done with people getting up and wait a minute, pause.

G 39:00

I'm not cutting any of the shit. Yes, you are. This show is so good now.

Shawn 39:04

So we're we're not cutting anything. Shit, we're gonna have a whole shitload of stuff, just me and you. We were like, damn, these guys screwing up. Screwed everything up, man.

G 39:14

This is gonna be a raw, unedited.

Shawn 39:16

This is truly okay. This is what I was telling him, too. This is truly how we are, right? A thousand percent how we are. We just banter this shit back and forth. But I was I was fine with this other girl, and you already know who this was. All right, her son and her daughter travel all over the place. And every time I every time I see her, I'm like, where the

Kids Are Germ Factories

Shawn 39:36

hell is Darren? Yeah, where in the world is Darren.

G 39:39

You know, where in the hell is Darren? Where in the hell is Darren and what's he eating? Because he's always eating some type of weird shit. This last time I heard he was looking for crickets.

Shawn 39:48

This kid travels everywhere. Yeah, I mean he does. I think it's really cool, but it's so fun to find out where in the hell he's going.

G 39:54

You know what that you know, you've touched on something that's really cool about our industry. As an employee, and you know, you have your like dependent, your kids and family members and all that stuff, they get flight benefits too. And like every now and then, like, and for the majority, don't you agree? Like, most people don't take advantage of these. No, they don't. Like, they don't. I mean, like, we just don't know. Not like Balakke. No, Balacke, now he's he's got the family going everywhere.

Shawn 40:17

Balacke goes everywhere, yeah.

G 40:19

So, but like most people don't take that advantage, but like this family we know, their kids, like they were raised on a plane, right?

Shawn 40:28

Where in the hell is Carmen San Diego? That's the same thing.

G 40:31

Now the kids, as soon as they got like old enough to like, I want to travel by myself, type of thing, and we're talking about 18. Right.

Shawn 40:39

Like, they were gone. Some of the places they go are is is crazy. They're like he was just okay, but one of the one of the places, okay, this is not like off the charts, but he had never been to the Bahamas.

G 40:49

Yeah.

Shawn 40:50

Okay, he wanted to go to the Bahamas, so he wanted to go there for like the weekend. And I'm like, okay, so where did he stay at? Because he stays in some of the craziest.

G 41:00

Well, he's doing like youth hostels and all that stuff. Yeah, so it's like, I mean, that's not where we're staying. No, but that's what I was telling you. I okay.

Shawn 41:10

But he he will stay in those. No, but it was hilarious. So she shows me, I'm like, you gotta show me, and I'm gonna send the pictures to you because you're gonna have to post this up. He so this guy has this uh uh Airbnb, and he rents six tents in his backyard. That's it. That's the youth hostel. He rented a tent with it, but it came with a pad, a blanket, and a pillow. Why not? Yeah, and you could use a toilet inside the house. If I had some land and stuff, that'd probably be a good thing. Six tents, so 25 bucks, 25 bucks for the night, and I think it was like 57 something in tax for the for the weekend.

G 41:51

Yeah.

Shawn 41:52

For the tent. Awesome. I said, is the window optional in the tent? It was like a pup tent, Sean. Could you imagine your okay? Come on. Could you imagine? Okay, go to Carol. Could you imagine Carol? We're going to Bahamas, and I got some good, I got a good spot for us to stay at. You know that. And you walk to the back of this guy's house and you tell Carol, get inside that damn tent.

G 42:13

That ain't ever happening. But what might happen is I might start a business next week. No, that was exactly the baggage. Right. You got waterfront property here.

Shawn 42:25

That's right. Right? You got waterfront property camping at Sean's house. You're already seeing my do like lines of tents. I can get $50 a night, I'm sure. Exactly. I mean, and and and you could it you could see if you could throw in golf.

unknown 42:38

Right.

G 42:39

I got a kayak you can use too.

Shawn 42:41

But anyway, this is mutant fish. This kid, man, this kid travels all over the freaking place.

Flight Benefits And Tent Hostels

Shawn 42:47

Absolutely amazing, man. But where the hell is Darren?

G 42:50

Well, Harry, where the hell is Darren? Speaking about where the hell is, um, my mother-in-law that has dementia has this like serious problem, man. And it I this is like I think a problem that's like all over America, like for all the elderly, elderly, they are like getting scammed left and right. Well, from what? Yeah, any type of fishing, scams, all kinds of stuff. People, I mean, I was reading this report the other day. It was like multi-billion dollars every year, elderly get scammed off of like whatever, you know, fake calls. Oh, your nephew's in trouble, they need money. Uh, you you won the lottery, let send us a you know, this, whatever, like all kinds of stupid stuff. But she gets all these all these calls, and I have been fighting this for like at least the last six minimum of six months. Yeah, and I'm talking 30 calls a day she's getting. Now, luckily, she has this dementia and she can't, you know, all that stuff. But like, we had to finally got to a point where we're like, okay, we're switching numbers. Like, that was the that was the only thing that we could do to like stop this from happening. But it's it's awful out there.

Shawn 44:00

Did you did you ever see that guy that answers the phone and he acts like he has dementia and one of those robo one of those people to call? So he's talking to him and and they're like, uh yeah, sir. Uh uh, so if you bought into this, um, so what was your name? Right. Uh my name is John. Okay, John, how are you doing? My name's Wilbur. And he goes through this whole thing and he's driving this freaking robo person. That'd be perfect. I mean, that'd be perfect. It's perfect for the people like without dimension of the body.

G 44:28

Right, I know.

Shawn 44:28

I mean, it's it's sad, but I I love that people fight back doing that.

G 44:32

My mother-in-law, she like she does even even at her like elderly age, she'll still have some of it with her, and like they'll be like, Oh, your husband, he just won the lottery. He's been dead for two years.

Shawn 44:47

It's like they're like, Oh well, you can still collect the benefits. Exactly. There's more benefits that you can get. This is how I mean there's they're little blood suckers, man. They are bloodsuckers. I hate those. I hate those people. But you know, let's go around the globe. All right. We were okay, you're talking about that and scamming people. Right. So they had this, they had this thing. I just reached across, you see my finger. Isn't it?

unknown 45:10

Yeah.

Shawn 45:11

You just see my finger. Yeah, I'm gonna reach, I'm gonna reach over and touch Sean for a minute. That's kind of funny. I love that. But reach touch it. Anyway, they're talking about they're talking about this uh this scam going on in Canada. Yeah, have you seen this at all? It's about bag tag switching. Bag tag switching? Yeah, with cartels. They had like 17. I know it's not doesn't sound like a much, but they had like 17 reported in in 2025.

G 45:36

But what? What are they doing?

Shawn 45:37

This is what they do. So it has to go with something, you know, something with the airport, right? It's the cartels. So they take their bag tag off, they put it on a drug-filled bag, and they're they they're they're shipping it through to their the next destination. And these people, these people, right, their bags, that they don't think anything about it if if it makes it through. So if they if their bag makes it through, they don't have a tag, they pick it up in and baggage claim, and there's no tag on it, but they don't think anything about it, they just think their bag tag got ripped off. But what's happened is when when they the drug dogs hit these bags and the the bags didn't make it through, these people are being arrested on the plane. Yeah, because it's their bag tag. It's their bag tag. Right. 17 people have gone through this. I mean, it it's unbelievable. And yeah, and it it was crazy when I watched this and the and the the things that these people had to do. So this has to be an inside thing.

G 46:36

Like I'm trying to, I'm like, you know, I'm trying to formalize this in my head. So I'm trying to figure out like, okay, it can't happen like a check-in.

Elder Scams And Fighting Back

G 46:42

It's gotta happen. It's gotta be behind. Like it has to be with when the airline gets your bag. In in that process, by the time it gets to the plane, to the from check-in to the plane, they've got to do make some type of switch. Right. So this is like an inside job.

Shawn 46:56

It's an inside job. But what they what they said was is that you should um take a picture of your bag tag on your bag. Okay, right, specifically on your bag, right? The bag that you have.

G 47:08

But but wait, I'm I'm just like just trying to make this. So they're switching bags, right? They're switching bag tags. Just bag tags. Yes. But then the bag isn't theirs.

Shawn 47:17

The bag isn't theirs.

G 47:18

Gotcha.

Shawn 47:19

So they're they're taking a you take a picture of your bag with that bag tag on it. Yeah. And then you take a picture of like what was in your bag, and then send the bag, you send the bag. That it's pretty sad you got to do this. But yeah, I mean, you think about it, it's pretty scary thinking that you know you got the you got the freaking DEA coming on and taking you off a plane, and you got this bag that's got your name on it filled full of drugs.

G 47:44

Right.

Shawn 47:44

I mean, that'd be pretty scary.

G 47:46

Right.

Shawn 47:46

But um, they they said anyway, just take a picture of your bag tag with your bag before you before you send it. And they're specifically saying right now it's through Canada where they they notice this. So that that's pretty yeah, that's pretty scary.

G 47:58

Yeah, but they've you would think that they would figure this, like, okay, they've got to the point where it's a news story, right? Yeah. So they've got to figure out, okay, this is the inside job, and because like like just me sitting here, like I'm thinking this has to happen by the time you release your bag and you give it the bag to them, you don't have it in your control anymore. Somebody's doing a switch. So someone in the airline's doing it, who's doing it, and where they're doing it. It's behind the scenes, especially if it's 17 and 10. They usually catch them too. I mean, yeah, yeah.

Shawn 48:26

Yeah, it's behind the scenes. Yeah, but uh the the next two things, I love this one. 40 year year old male locks himself in the lavatory and he is screaming, um, you'll never take me alive, Sky Toilet.

G 48:38

Sky Toilet. You know, like he's talking to their toilet. Sky toilet. Yeah, the sky toilet.

Shawn 48:44

You'll never take me alive sky toilet. You didn't think that was funny.

G 48:47

No, I didn't even think that was funny. I thought it was funny at all. Because you know what? Here's my thing is like, unless you're thinking of like Power Rangers or something like that, then it's a Sky Toilet.

Shawn 48:56

Could you imagine being on a plane? Now come on, bullshit. Could you imagine being on a plane and some guy's locked in the toilet yelling, you'll never take me alive, Sky Toilet? You'd be busting a gut back there. Yeah. This dude's in here yelling, it would never be taken off.

G 49:11

Now that you put it that way, it'd be funny. Because I'm envisioning like you in there doing this. You're a jackass.

Shawn 49:19

All right, this one you're gonna love too. Did you see the one thing about this? Okay, they had a hundred over a hundred thousand thousand followers, these two flat attendants at American Airlines. No, they were showing like all this like seductive like pictures of the uniform and everything. Yeah, they were AI. Nice. AI, and you got like a hundred thousand followers. Sex, dude. Of these girls in these freaking sexy ass uniforms. Here, let me let me up our ratings.

unknown 49:50

Yeah.

Shawn 49:53

Then we just went down the tank. There it goes. Straight in the shitter. We had like two that we've watched.

G 50:00

I just unbuttoned my shirt and showed my cleavage.

Shawn 50:02

Yeah. We had two listeners and your mom just left. All right, man. So normally we get at this time we go with the inspirational quote because I just can't anymore. You just drive me crazy. So we usually go to the inspirational quote, but I came across this short little video and I thought was really cool. And this guy said, In life, okay, we all have our problems. All right, we've all gone through them. You gone through yours, I gone through mine. But you know, a lot of times in life you think that your problems are really insurmountable, okay? And we talk about this all the time because inspirational quote is like really big for us because it's it's uplifting, it's something that that brings you up.

G 50:44

Yeah, try to get us through this next week of shit.

Shawn 50:46

Yeah, because there's there's always gonna be something to occur. But when you're going through it, a lot of times bad stuff in your life happens and you think your life is really, really bad.

G 50:56

Right.

Shawn 50:57

And this guy said, if you could take a piece of paper and write whatever your problem is and crumple it up and take it into a hat, take it and throw it into a hat, and with everybody, all these other people's problems, right? Right, and reach out and and pull out one of their problems and their problems became your problems. Would you do it? And he said, This person just found out they had cancer, this person found out they're not gonna live more than six months, this person just lost their mom, this person found out that they they had MS, this person had to keep going oh, we got you. I know, but they have all these different problems. Would you reach in that hat and pull that take the chance of pulling that problem out?

G 51:46

Right.

Shawn 51:47

And the answer is no, you'd never do that. No. So if you step back for a minute when you're having these problems, and I often do too, because you know, I mean, we have them. You step back and you have these problems, and you take a deep breath and you sit there and reevaluate what's

Bag Tag Switching Drug Scam

Shawn 52:02

going on in your life and think it's not as bad. Other people have things worse than you. Oh yeah. And and one this one goes out to my sister, and like I told you guys before, my sister has MS. And anytime that I feel a little bit like um where I'm feeling sorry for myself, I'll I'll I'll give her a call. And the one thing that she always says is suck it up, buttercup. Yeah. And so I I do live by that a lot of times, you know, and and that's one thing I wanted you to think about is that if you're thinking this bad, just look in the mirror, say suck it up, buttercup, and get back in the game. So he's calling his sister a lot. I do. I really do. I mean, I can't even tell you. I do, I do, I call her a lot, and she does, and Yvette does. She she's like suck it up, buttercup. And amazing thing about it, right? I'm back in the game. So if yours is bad, trust me. Do it and get back in the game, guys.

G 52:54

Do it, get it back in the game, man. Yep. Hey, great show. We are um pushing it on time right now. But uh just want to say, hey, there's uh a couple things that everybody out there needs to do for us. Listen, we're trying to come at you and we want to keep on coming at you and having a good time.
