The worst travel mistake you can make!

A guy walks into the backyard, looks around for a few minutes, and suddenly removing some bushes costs four thousand dollars. That is where this episode begins: with Shawn and G trying to understand how “just get rid of it” turned into a luxury service. From backyard estimates and junk removal to basement cleanouts, old treadmills, and the things we all keep for no good reason, this one starts with the kind of real-life frustration everybody understands.

Then the conversation takes a hard turn into airports, food smells, and crew survival. We talk about the power of Cinnabon, barbecue at five in the morning, terminal food temptations, and the emotional difference between a pilot who brings real donuts and coffee versus someone proudly showing up with a sad little strip of Cinnabon minis. If you have ever tried to eat clean on a trip and lost the battle before boarding even started, this part is for you.

Of course, it would not be Cabin Pressure without airline chaos. Shawn and G get into passenger etiquette, why you should never touch a flight attendant during boarding, and why compliance matters long before the aircraft ever moves. From safety checks and boarding delays to FAA pressure, international security procedures, kids near cockpit doors, and the constant behind-the-scenes work passengers never see, we break down why “just close the door and go” is never that simple.

We also wander through dog drama, fireworks, Ohio bug invasions, mystery maintenance delays, airline meal names gone wrong, and a Bluetooth device label that causes way more trouble than it should. Then things get even stranger with Brooklyn manholes, escaped sheep in a produce section, and the kind of dumb criminal stories that make you wonder how anyone thought the plan was going to work.

The episode closes with something more serious: men’s health, doctor visits, PSA testing, and why getting checked matters. The jokes are still there, but the message is real. Prevention is not dramatic, but it can save your life.

If you love unfiltered airline stories, flight attendant humor, travel etiquette, crew-life chaos, aviation safety talk, and real conversations that somehow go from Cinnabon to prostate screening, this episode has all of it.

Airport Smells That Break Willpower

Shawn 3:24

about that. Anyway, I was in the airport the other day. You know what I love, absolute love in the morning time? What is that? You're gonna remember this one. The smell of freaking barbecue. I don't care what time of day.

G 3:35

I don't know about barbecue, but that Cinnabon. Cinnabon's killer. Dude, when I come in the air, every time I come in the airport, like I used to. This is so funny. Like before I was based in Cleveland, which is many years ago, like I love to come to Cleveland because every time I got to Cleveland, I wanted a Cinnabon because you could smell it air. Like it was awesome. So I like like every time I came to the airport and I smelled that Cinnabon, I'm like, yeah, but it's right there next to Andy M's. Dude, I would look like fucking like fucking big blueberry, huge. You didn't have like that.

Shawn 4:09

Was that jumba juice?

G 4:10

So you get like the jump and jumbo juice right next to each other.

Shawn 4:14

So you add the natural sugar with like the gooped up sugar, and then right next to the bread with the salt. It's all right. They got the pretzels, it's like free smells as you walk by.

G 4:24

Yeah, you're like smelling this, and you're like we built up some resistance though over the years. Yeah, we walk our asses right by that stuff all the time. We do.

Shawn 4:33

It's good. Yeah, it's good, it smells good. Yeah, you look at the cinnabon and you're thinking butter. Yeah. Putting on top of there. And there's there's always there's a there's uh there's quite the little uh uh line of people, dude. There's always listen, we but now you got Dunkin' Donuts right next to it too, though.

G 4:50

I got a Cinnabon like on when we do our travel back and forth to Indiana, the well our stop, the little truck stop where we stop at, the like refueling all that shit as a Cinnabon. And Carol hit the Cinnabon like out of the blue. Like we've been doing this for years, and she's never gotten a cinnamon. She was like, I think I want a couple of those Cinnabon minis. So they have taken the like Cinnabons and chopped them up and then poured icing on them.

Shawn 5:16

You have you seen those little minis? They're like little strips. Yeah, okay.

The Great Cinnabon Minis Debate

Shawn 5:20

So we had a we had a captain, he comes on board and he and he goes, Hey, listen, I just want to say good morning. How you doing? And usually like the pilots, the old school pilots, they'll bring you something. This dude brought in, he goes, I just want to I I got you guys uh some Cinnabons. And we're like everybody's gonna get Cinnabons. Whoa. Right? So he we're like, cool. So he breaks out one of these strips of minis. Gives you guys each one a bite? They're minis. Yeah. There's four of them. And they're like they're like an oversized chiclet. And and we're like, well, should we cut them up now? I'm like, you cheap ass pilot. Are you shitting me?

G 6:08

You know, that's funny, like the the stigma of like pilots. We got some good ones. We got some good. In our industry, yeah, it's so funny because like over our whole career, like the stigma of pilots is always they're a cheap ass. Yeah. Right? Like, we got some good ones. They make way more money than us, but they're so cheap. Like, I mean, we've had like it's funny because like, you know, flight attendants, we make a fraction of their salary. Yeah. And we like when we first start, we're really, really, really struggling. And they're making like what we were making in the beginning at our top salary, right? They they start off there, you know. So it's like we we know like we used to be like scrambling. How many times did we take like off the footballs off the little ham sandwiches? Oh, all the time. Like we lived off of fucking airplane food. Yeah, like ships and everything. So we were always scrounging crew and all this stuff, but then we get these pilots that were doing the same damn things. The guys are making four or five times more money than us.

Cheap Pilot Legends From The Carts

Shawn 7:05

We had a guy, we had a guy, you know who he is, right? Steve. Remember? Yeah. Steve, remember his last name? He's long gone.

G 7:10

He's long, long gone.

Shawn 7:12

Long gone. So this guy used to take everything off the plane. I I don't give a shit what it was. We had the end of the service.

G 7:18

This motherfucker was like a fucking radicale. Screw going through. He would be like, You guys are done with the service? Yeah. Here, can I can I get in the carts, please? Yeah. And he would go through and he'd rummage through and he'd have a bag and he'd rummage through and pick shit out of the cart. Right. Like, people ate some of the shit. He'd be eating off those plates, too. Like, I'm like, what? Like, nobody, like, I never got the the guy had money. He had a lot of money. Yeah. Yeah.

Shawn 7:44

He was a captain ever since I knew him. So he retired. He retired a couple years later. He ends up on my plane. Oh, really? So yeah, he's now arriving on the plane. So we still had the sandwiches on board. I had everybody collect all this shit. No, I did. I hadn't I didn't collect all this shit. And I'm like, everything, I don't care if it's a mustard packet. Yeah, whatever.

G 8:01

Just throw it in the bag.

Shawn 8:02

So throw it in the bag. So I had this big ass trash bag. And I walked up there and I had it behind my back. And I'm like, Steve. And he goes, Yeah, Gary. Like, remember bag. Remember how it was when you were flying and and at the end of the flight, we're we're coming to the end. Right. And and how you would always end each flight. And he goes, Yeah. And I said, You always went back there and you always looked for a little something. Yeah, and a little something for you to take. And he goes, Yeah. And they goes, well, I just wanted to make you feel like you did back in the day. And he goes, Well, what'd you do? And I put this big ass trash bag of shit on his tray table. And you know that cackling laugh that he had? He's like, And you know what he did with that damn bag? He took it. He took it. He took it. He shoved that shit underneath. He had no shame. And he was like, Oh yeah, no, I'm taking this shit with me.

G 8:54

His his third bag was like a duffel bag, and that was just old food. Yeah. And and here's a crazy thing. There was like moldy food in there too. Like he would like, oh yeah, this is bad now. This is bad. It was the nastiest bag. But we got some we got some go pilots.

Shawn 9:12

So Jimmy Z, man, he he's known as the Donut King. But before I get to that, we had to break for a second because this mug thought something I had something in my damn teeth.

G 9:22

Dude, I'm looking over here and I'm seeing these fucking like little black spots on your teeth, and I'm thinking, wow, there's some pepper or some shit in your teeth or something. You need to go check your shell.

Shawn 9:32

So it makes my ass go check. That damn thing, and he's like, oh, it's your just your hillbelly uh gap.

G 9:37

Yeah, it's your country ass gaps. That's a nice thing, isn't it?

Shawn 9:44

Don't even get me started. I'm gonna get started on you. I'm gonna get started on you in a minute, man. Go ahead. It's gonna be open season on your ass in a minute. It always is. All right. So anyway, Jimmy, Jimmy would bring frickin' donuts, man. Right. He's like the donut king. Hometown. Bring them damn donuts. Who else used to bring some stuff?

G 10:01

Oh, there's a like, there's a lot of people that like would always bring like give us coffee in the morning, right? Yeah. Oh, some of them bring Starbucks. Yeah, they feel like I'm going to. I'm going to Starbucks. Who wants coffee? You know, like people should do that. Just depending on where we're at and all this stuff. But yeah. I mean, so not all the pilots. They're not all cheap ass all cheap ass. All this stuff, but yeah. But we got we got some token ones that definitely give the uh pilot group a bad name. True name. Right. Cheap ass. Cheap ass pilots. Cheap ass.

Shawn 10:30

Especially the dude that brought us the the mini minis. Strip of minis. I I just looked at him. I'm like, seriously? Yeah. One each? It's like that big.

It's in Dallas, Fort Worth. It's called Salt Lick Barbecue. All right. Salt Lick Barbecue. And it's I haven't been to it. Yeah, because it's not in our terminal property. Yeah, no, it's terminal, it's Terminal A. Okay. And it's over by um, they said it's by gate 16. That's what it said.

Two Yorkies And Zero Sleep

Shawn 13:39

So, no, no, well, you know, Jackson's in town with girlfriend, right? And so he brings, he brings Daisy. Daisy. Daisy is a 3.5 pound Yorkie.

G 13:51

Okay, so you got you got uh two little shits in your house now.

Shawn 13:54

Two little Yorkies, it's like having it literally, it's like having a mini wolf pack. Right? I'm knowing this shit. So no, I go I went from this you get I get to sleep on the bottom.

G 14:10

You gotta take a good picture of both of them.

Shawn 14:12

But I'm going to. Yeah. But you you you go from sleeping with Gemma. Now Gemma will knock off. She'll go, you know, lay next to her mama, she'll lay next to me. Right. But now Daisy wants to come in a bed and sleep. A 3.5 pound dog that has crushed that shit. Yeah, but she got an IBS problem too. Oh, no shit. She's got like a little irritable bowel syndrome right now going on. Oh yeah. So I've been feeding her. No, she's little, little soft stool, stuff like that. So who gets up in the middle of the night? Little Daisy comes over here, gives me a lick. She's she's got to go down. So I she got that little okay. York's normally intestines and their organs are small. Yeah. Daisy's next level small. Yeah. Okay. So she wake up in the middle of the night, take her down, gotta go pee. Bring her back up.

G 15:01

Yeah.

Shawn 15:01

Okay. Hour later, get a little lick. Take her down. She gotta poop.

G 15:06

You know what the problem is.

Shawn 15:08

Take her. No, I'm not done. So you take her back down, and this has gone on all like every couple hours. Right. So then guess who gets up? Gemma. Oh, Gemma. No, no, Gemma. Gemma's like, wait a minute, Dad. Wait a minute, Dad. I need some attention. My time to pee. My time to pee. So now I got the other Yorkie. You got both those Yorkes in your bed. Yeah.

G 15:31

Okay, let me tell you. Nope, nope, nope, nope. W first of all, I don't need any more hair in a bed than what I got. Yorkis don't shed. I don't give a shit. They don't shed. Yeah, because see, like Gemma, you know, any, like, literally, I would feel their fur and it'd be like, oh God. And I'd be like, grab, like, instinctly, oh, that's a pillow, a free pillow. Boom.

Shawn 15:56

And it'd be rather. You get nervous though, because like Daisy is so damn small. If you rolled over, Sean, she would look literally, she would look like catapult across the room. I'll tell you right now.

G 16:09

Across Carol knows that there's no way an animal could live or even survive in our bed because Carol barely survives in my bed. I mean, I've I've been like, boom. I can't believe that. And she's like, ow! You know, like a little tiny, like just me moving and stuff could be dangerous. So I'm like, damn, two little dogs? I wouldn't have two dogs. All night. This has been going on all night. I wouldn't. And then she got she got ideas. Put them on the ground if they got ideas.

Shawn 16:39

Put them on the ground. Put them on the ground. Let them do their shit. You really don't understand how it works. He definitely is not an animal person. He might like animals, but he does he doesn't know how it works.

G 16:53

Dude, if a dog is waking me up every hour licking my ass down, I mean it'd be like sliding off the wall. See, he doesn't know how it works.

Shawn 17:02

Because any any other dog owner, like even with myself, let me tell you, I'm telling you all this shit that's going on.

G 17:09

That's not about what you're not understanding is that this is my just like when I go to sleep, I go to sleep. So something affects me. It's like a fly or something. It'd be like, and I'd be still sleeping, like not even knowing. Like, this is not me consciously. Like if I was awake, I'd be like, oh, please, you know, get it.

Shawn 17:28

Yeah, in the door, but in New York, you would already and then or you would have smelled the shit because it would have shit in your bed. That's right. It would have been right there. Yeah, because they wouldn't have been in my damn bed. No, she's in the bed. No, I okay. But this is There's only one type of fur I want to see in my bed. Okay. Shut up. I'm not even going there. The greatest thing, the greatest thing is that you go through this whole thing, right? And and wake up, poop, pee, everything. It's the coolest feeling. It's a cool feeling? It is the coolest feeling because when you wake up. Poop and pee is a cool feeling. No, no, no, no. Keep talking about it. People that that have dogs can relate to this. You go through all this craziness with a dog. Right. But they are the best thing that God ever put on the planet. Because they their their love is unconditional. Yeah. They they're always happy to see you. That's great, man.

G 18:20

Impulse Buys And The Flamethrower

Shawn 18:50

You jumped into it, you didn't let me finish. Well, if you say the question right. Okay, I'm getting to it. Okay. Have you ever purchased anything for no reason at all because you just thought I had to have that? And it's the stupidest thing thing. I've seen it. You'll understand. You'll understand what I'm talking about. Yes, I've done that. Okay, give me an example of something you purchased that was completely off the wall. Like, um no reason. You just your brain, your brain told you I had to have this. And that and you didn't need it.

G 19:33

Yeah, but just pick one. Just pick one thing that you could comes off your head that made every decluttering stage for whatever reason you catch.

G 23:16

I'm just looking around this whole area right here, like that whole fucking stack of a hundred games there.

Shawn 23:21

Like made it through every decluttering. Yeah. How many times have they been pulled off? Not in years. Okay. So I have this dumbass sled that that Deb bought for Jackson. It's one of those ones, like a motorcycle sled, you know what I mean?

G 23:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shawn 23:38

It's still in the box.

G 23:39

Oh my God.

Shawn 23:40

It's sitting in the garage. No, no, no. He's 26. It's for like a five year year old. It's for four-year-olds. And he never got to play with it. No. No. And it's sitting there. And every time we go through this decluttering, I'm like, hey, listen, let's just get rid of that damn thing. Throw it through the thrift. No. What if you have grandkids? Oh my God. No. He he's 26. The grandkids ain't gonna use it either. No.

unknown 24:10

No.

G 24:10

Especially in Vegas. And I ain't gonna have to exactly. It'd be like a sand buggy. Although they do get snow in Vegas.

Vegas Snow And Pilot Awareness

G 24:17

That was the so one time uh Carol and I flew into Vegas and they had snow all over the mountains there. And uh Carol was in extreme denial that there was snow. She's like, that's not snow. That's that's that's clouds that's making it look like snow, or you know, like that's that's not snow. Right. And so I'm like, that is snow. I'm like, can you not see that that's snow? That's on the peaks of the mountains, it's just on the peaks. It's snow. I'm like, they get had had them been cold up there. Yeah because it gets cold as shit in the day. Oh, I know. Like, you know, so uh we get to my niece's house, and as soon as I get there, and I'm like, hey, is there snow up on the mountains? Yeah, yeah, it's been there all week. I'm like, it's snow. Yeah, it's snow. She had no idea that it that it snows out in Vegas. She flies over that shit all the time.

Shawn 25:04

Sees those big white caps on top of that.

G 25:07

This is my point. Pilots, they do a great job, and they know how to do an excellent job to fly to plane and stuff. Some of them aren't so technical and some of them aren't so observant.

Shawn 25:17

Like those big ass, those big ass white caps over those hills that they're flying over. I don't know what that could be. Well, you ever notice when they do that and they all they'll go to their iPad and they're like, uh, wait a second. Expand it. Goodness, expand it. I still don't know what it is. What? I don't know. It's like in between all this other shit, and I have I actually have no idea where it's at.

G 25:43

Yeah.

unknown 25:44

Yeah.

G 25:45

Unbelievable.

Shawn 25:46

Yeah. So I okay.

Sports Rivalries At The Gate

Shawn 25:48

This guy came on the plane the other day, had to laugh about this one. I'd tell you about it. He comes on the plane, he's pissed. I'm like, what are you pissed about? And he said, they made me check my bag. And I said, why? And he goes, I know why. Why? He goes, because I'm a Michigan fan. That was in Cleveland? No, he was down in Florida. Oh. But the gate agent was in Ohio State. They get in this conversation and they're going back and forth, and they're talking about Ohio State, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan, and they're like bantering this back and forth. He goes, I know he goes, I know why he did it. He goes, it just pissed me off. As soon as my wife walked up, this is what he said, gotta check that bag. And he's like, wait a minute. We take that bag everywhere. He goes, No, that bag's too big. There's more to that shit. And he goes, I know the shit. It's because I got a Michigan State shirt on. I said I got a Michigan State. And I told him, I'm like, yeah, but now you got a story.

G 26:46

Right. You got a story. Yeah, a story that we're using.

Shawn 26:49

An Ohio State, an Ohio State gate agent made you check your damn bag.

G 26:54

Right.

Shawn 26:54

That's a great story.

G 26:55

Dude, that's fucking.

Shawn 26:56

Okay, here's a better one.

Passenger Etiquette And No Touching

Shawn 26:58

So what's the number one thing you don't do to flight attendants? Number one, what would you say? Touch them. No touchy touchy. Don't touchy touchy the nice flight attendant.

G 27:06

Don't touch me.

Shawn 27:07

Right?

G 27:07

That's the biggest thing. I don't care if you're trying to get my attention or not. Excuse me. We invented this little thing. It's called a fucking bell.

Shawn 27:17

Because we don't want to be touched. Exactly. Exactly. But this guy, this guy walks on board. This brother walks on board. You're going to love this. So he walks on this board. Walks on board. He has his shirt on that says, Don't touch not friendly. That's awesome. Right? He says, Don't touch not friendly. So I'm standing in the row as we're boarding. This is what he does. He puts his hand on his shoulder and he said, Brother, you're in my row. Remember, you're in my row. And I'm looked at him and I said, Can I borrow your shirt? Yes, right. And he goes, he starts busting out laughing. I'm like, Steve, that's your ass to laugh, man. That was a great shirt, though, because I told him I said, look, number one thing you don't do to flight attests, touch us. Don't touch us. No touchy, touchy, man. I want your shirt, man.

G 28:05

There's no reason to be touching it. I uh now I I will say this. How do you feel about this? Because I was thinking about this the other day when I was working. Like, you're going down, we're doing all we're doing our checks or doing doing something that we have to do, like we were mandated to do. And like somebody's like acting like they're asleep before takeoff, and they they got their seat reclined, trade table down, whatever, and you're like you're trying to talk to them, they're not responding. Do you touch them? No. You don't touch them? What do you do?

Shawn 28:33

Like they get the seat. You know, I mean, I might I might touch their seat or shake their seat a little bit or something.

G 28:37

You don't like like on like excuse me. Yeah, I guess I do. Yeah.

Shawn 28:41

I guess I do. Like I touch them on the show.

G 28:44

I don't like to be touched, and I'm like, I'm super sensitive like to touching people, but I'll give them a like a little tap because there's people who've been like, yeah, ow! Yeah, you know, like, what'd you do to me? Yeah, exactly. You heard me. I need a free ticket. Yeah. Can I get miles? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So uh, but yeah, every now and then, like that that drives me clay crazy in our job where people are like, there's a certain phase, like that beginning and end. We've gotta we've gotta get it ready and we gotta wrap it up. Yeah, right?

Shawn 29:13

I'm not, you know, I can honestly say I'm I'm it doesn't bother me. I mean, if they if they put their hand on me or something like that, I mean it's not like you're grabbing my butt.

G 29:21

No, no, no, no, no.

Shawn 29:22

Yeah, yeah.

G 29:23

Exactly.

Shawn 29:23

When we were younger, it'd be okay.

G 29:25

Right. If she was cute. At this age, uh our state and our career and stuff. We're lucky like right now, grab my ass.

Shawn 29:32

Yeah, exactly. Grab something take a handful. Yeah, whatever, whatever, whatever works. Whatever, kid. Hey, I'm gonna come back. I'm gonna back up. That kind of felt good. Would you rub my shoulder a little bit harder? Right? I mean, could you but that would be me and you right because we'd be like, man, that kind of felt good. Would you rub my arm a little bit more?

G 29:53

Yeah, but I just like I'm always like sensitive to like touching people and how I'm touching them. Like, I've had, you know, you had some dudes, and uh, you know, they're like, you know, don't touch me. Yeah, don't touch me. Don't touch me, man. Or someone, some bullshit like that. But I'm like, if you're gonna ignore us and we're trying to do our job and we can't move the plane, yeah, people don't, yeah. You can't, we can't there's certain things

FAA Pressure And Endless Checking

G 30:14

we can't do. Right. Like now the FAA is cracking down big time about all that stuff on in the industry. But they blame us, right? Right. But they don't know this. I know, yeah. So like like, I mean, just be aware out there, anybody listening to the show that doesn't know this, like right now the FAA is really heavy on the flight attendants. We have to do all of our checks and have the the plane ready for pushback before we could even move from the gate.

Shawn 30:39

Dude, have you ever okay in our career? Right. In our career, I I was just saying this the other day. Right. Have we ever done this many fing checks? No. We check, double check, triple check, yeah, triple, quadruple check, so check. And then we check, check on each other's check.

G 30:55

Right.

Shawn 30:55

And then you go pick up, and then what are you doing? You're checking behind the person that's picking shit up. And then what do you do? The person behind them checks.

G 31:05

There's so many checks.

Shawn 31:05

And then whenever we get done with a flight, what do you do?

G 31:09

Check. Check, make sure all the shit's been done.

Shawn 31:13

Okay, so when all the shit's been done and everybody's off the plane, and you're walking off the plane with your bags, what do you also check? More doors. Oh yeah. Right? So you're checking that. You're all you're doing is checking anymore.

G 31:28

Oh, I know, dude.

Shawn 31:29

All we do, all I swear to God, all we do is check anymore.

G 31:32

There, I the every flight attendant out there can relate to this. We could be at our layover, at home, whatever, and be and seriously, like all of a sudden recount, and we're like, did I check that door? It's freaking crazy. It's absolutely crazy. We made me paranoid about like doing all this shit.

Shawn 31:51

But no, the the the checking has have it drives me crazy anymore.

How Passengers Get Left Onboard

Shawn 31:56

Right. Dude, how could you leave a passenger on board? I mean, how oh okay, now we've done we had to do this because somebody got left on board. So how in the hell did how's that? Well, it's happened not once, it's happened several times. I know, but how's that happened?

G 32:09

But here's the thing. And you're only thinking about narrowbody, right?

unknown 32:14

Yeah.

G 32:15

I mean, white bodies, I guess. White body's much tougher because it's like there's a lot of fucking people. And there's two aisles, and there's just there's so many places for people. Tons of cleaners. Yeah. And that's the that's the ticket. Is that we have so now internationally, the cleaners don't come on domestically like they do domestically. You know what I'm talking about? Right.

Shawn 32:39

Yeah, tons of yeah. I was watching your tongue just as totally jacked that up.

G 32:43

Yeah, the domestic aircraft in our airline, the cleaners will come on as soon as they could possibly come on at the on the flow of pastures coming on, right? And all of them domestically normally have like bright red vests and all that stuff, so we know who the hell they are. Right. Right? So it's a little bit easier, one aisle, all that stuff. But internationally, that don't happen. No. There's no cleaners, nobody comes on. Because here's the difference most of our stuff we're coming on internationally. So nobody goes on the plane.

Shawn 33:16

Yeah.

G 33:16

It's a sealed, you know, everybody gets off the plane, we flush the plane, the plane door gets closed. The next person that's coming on there is security. Right. You know, it's not the cleaners. Yeah, because the cleaners don't check. Yeah. So the security's got to go in and strike the plane and all that stuff. So it's a different type of process. Yeah. So it can happen in, you know, on a wide body, I can see it a little bit easier than a than a narrow body.

Shawn 33:39

But um But even the cleaners on a narrow body, the man, they're like bum rushing. Yeah. You get, I mean, I love our cleaners. I mean, we got great cleaners here in Cleveland. We got a system-wide, we got some phenomenal cleaners.

G 33:49

But then every once in a while certain stations are way better than others, right?

Shawn 33:53

But every once in a while, right? You get these guys that like they come in, it's it's literally like they're a gang.

G 34:00

Yeah.

Shawn 34:01

And and you're you just invaded their territory. Right. You ever had that?

G 34:05

Oh, yeah.

Shawn 34:05

Where they're just like they're just looking at you like you got a problem?

G 34:08

Yeah.

Shawn 34:09

You're in New York. I'm like, damn. Oh, it isn't just cleaning the freaking airplane. I said good morning.

G 34:17

Yeah. Yeah. It shouldn't take it personal. Uh our Midwestern ass is not as uh we're a lot of friendlier than you're gonna be able to do it.

Shawn 34:23

Hey, listen, you got you gotta love that shit though. You're like, hey, good morning. They're like, What? Nobody talking to you, man. Nobody talking to you, man. I just all you gotta do is get by. Yeah.

G 34:32

Or they got their head headphones on.

Shawn 34:34

Yeah, I I'm not listening. Yeah. I'm tuned out.

The Kid Who Headbutts The Door

Shawn 34:37

So I had this little kid. You're gonna love this one. This little kid, he he comes, we're we're sitting up in first class. He puts his head down, Sean, and you watch him. Do you know how you get a side view? Yeah. Okay, so one's in the galley, one's over here, sitting on the jump seat. Yeah. And here comes this kid, and you kind of gotta get a side view of him. He lowers his head. He's probably, I don't know, four.

G 35:01

Uh-huh.

Shawn 35:01

And he lowers his head and he runs it right into the cockpit door. He rhinos it. What the hell? He rhinos this.

G 35:13

Like, why?

Shawn 35:14

Funniest shit. I mean, I was watching. What is he trying to do? But no, it's like one of those moments when you're stuck there and you're looking and you're like, hmm, I wonder what this kid's gonna do, right? And he lay it's like he has that freaking horn right there, and he lowered his head and ran his ass right into the cockpit door.

G 35:33

And then what do you do? The mom, this mom wasn't as long as he thought it was or something.

Shawn 35:42

No, no. She goes, he he approaches life with his frustrations using his head. Okay. And I'm like thinking, maybe that's not just a good idea.

G 35:55

Maybe you need to start teaching your kid to deal with things a little differently.

Shawn 36:01

He rhinos this thing, man. Puts it right into his forehead. Yeah, I can't wait to see this adult. We're gonna track, we're gonna track kids like this. Yeah. Because these are the ones that actually think that they can make it through the cockpit door now. Right? Later on in life, you get these videos. Yeah, you get like him a video when he was small, and then another video when he gets his ass beat trying to rush in and go after the cockpit door. Funniest damn thing.

G 36:27

Oh shit.

Shawn 36:27

Watching watching this kid put his head down. That would be awesome if you had the video, but that shit was hilarious. Yeah, I was dying, absolutely freaking dying, man. It was so funny.

Ohio Midges And Cedar Point Swarms

Shawn 36:37

But um the okay, this had to cover it because this is going on in Ohio.

G 36:42

What's that? Midge. Oh, the midges. The midges. Yeah. Midges are out of control. So midges in Ohio are the Mayflies, and the Mayflies like go crazy here over the Great Lakes. And they've like millions and millions, they turn into like black clouds. It's like birds. You ever seen like birds swarming and all that stuff? The midges can get that way too.

Shawn 37:03

Like there's just millions of midges swarming and I don't know if we talked about this before, but it was over at Cedar Point. Yeah. Did I tell you about that one? This was over Cedar Point. We were waiting to go on Millennium, the big old roller coaster. Okay. So this is this is a perfect example example of what Sean's talking about. So they were they're they're going, the the people that were ahead of us, they came in, and when they came in to get out, they were freaking out.

G 37:33

Look at the front end of your car.

Shawn 37:35

Yeah. I mean, it's worse. It's so bad. Their faces were covered with these. They ran smack dab into one of these swarms that you're talking about. And and it was like over, it was right over by the lake, and they came in, sweatshirts are covered. Do you get on the roller coaster after that? Nope. We were like this. You guys can go ahead. Nope. We just wait till that thing clears out. You're gonna take that chance.

G 38:00

Yeah, no, no.

Shawn 38:01

You're definitely your mouth is, you know, before you're like, ah, now it's like Yeah, yeah.

G 38:05

Now do you write you ride roller coasters like this? They don't let you have hats. No. Right? So yeah, yeah, yeah. Mid season in Ohio. Oh, damn. It was nasty. It was bad. It's bad. So these little black and mayflies, they're like, I know I used to sail up there and do like ricotta shit. And so um the boats get covered with this. And you like you'd go out sailing and you'd come back, you have to like wash down the boat just to get the midges off because they'd stain your little black spots all over your boat.

Shawn 38:36

We did we um we did a couple jobs years ago whenever we were doing some remodeling work and shit like that. I I'd never take a remodeling job up by the lake again after that shit. Ugh because they were all over, they were everywhere. I mean, I I'm like telling you, I would never have a lot of things.

G 38:52

We get a little bit of it because we're like so far inland and stuff, and so we get a little bit of Mayflies, but it's nothing like being up by the lake. The lake like gets cloud swarms of that stuff. It's wild, wild, wild

Ridiculous Airline Meal Names

G 39:03

stuff.

Shawn 39:03

Oh, before we get on to something with you, I one more thing I had to tell you about. So, do you know how you we get some crazy names on meals that we serve on the airplane? Yeah. You know, when you're reading them. So flight attendant, I had to read this, it's actually funny. So she's like, Gary, I'm not taking these orders. I'm like, what do you mean? She goes, I'm not. She goes, I'm gonna say chicken, I'm gonna say beef or whatever it is because these are ridiculous. And and and I'm like, just read them. She goes, okay, it's mojo. Mojo. Mojo chicken. Okay. Okay. And this is how she pronounced it. It was a bad bad pronunciation. Right. Kako.

G 39:39

Kako. Yeah. Right. And also. Oh, she was enunciating it incorrectly.

Shawn 39:43

I'm like, that's not how you should say it. I'm like, that's not how you say it. So I'm like, so you got to.

G 39:48

Did you like some mojo, Kako, or also?

Shawn 39:52

Uh, I'm not eating anything. Yeah. A snack box. That doesn't sound appetizing. No. Like, this is that's bullshit. We got some crazy ass names though. Yeah. But it was funny. I mean, that that shit was funny though. It really was.

G 40:03

That that's one thing I cannot say. Because like I'm always, I always worked that position up front, first class, and I'm taking orders. Yeah. So I'm always doing, you know, looking at the stupid fucking names that the airline makes these meals. Yeah. Like, that's right. Give me chicken with rice. Uh steak with potatoes. Yeah. Chicken with potatoes.

Shawn 40:24

Why do you gotta make up a crazy ass oh so uh yeah, it's some some bullshit that nobody can eat. Yeah, like pronoun. I I don't who cares?

G 40:32

I know. So stupid. Yeah. Like, let me let's tell them like real English what this is actually they're eating. And it's always gonna be cheap. And that's and that's what it ends up, because like I'm dealing with like, you know, what 24 seats, 48 seats or whatever. Like I have a lot of seats. Right. So I mean, going over this, and then you're like, and we have menus, you know, internationally and all that stuff, but like most of the time, I'm like, yeah, uh, here it is in the menu. This is what you have. Or I have a menu with him. I'm like, here's the three choices. Yeah, a pictures. The big there's no pictures, it was just a big ass pictures, yeah, yeah.

The Bluetooth Speaker Delay Mystery

G 41:11

Anyhow, uh, dude, so remember that delay of the airline um that had to turn around because of the Bluetooth device? Yeah. I had the I had an experience like this. I had a delay because of a Bluetooth device. I'm like, we're going, we're heading to Vegas, I'm on the plane, and I'm watching the crew, you know, doing doing their thing. They're getting ready to go. And the lead, fantastic, like great personality, like everybody was she was a she was a fun lead. Yeah, you know, talking in a first class, very interactive with everybody coming on board, aircraft and all this stuff. And I just see it in her face. I'm like, oh, we got a problem. We got a problem. He's just in there's a problem, it's just all of her. So keep it to yourself. She goes marching back to the back.

Shawn 41:55

They get that isn't that funny, too. They'll get that serious look, and you know shit's gonna happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

G 41:59

Because the flight attendant from the back, we're getting ready to close the door, and the flight attendant comes back, he gets running up and he's like, hang on, hang on, hang on. And I'm like, you know, all of a sudden it's always like bing, like what's happening? And then she's like, they're like blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And you see the body language, and all of a sudden she goes, and he goes marching to the back. And so I'm like, what's going on? Whatever, and like we're just chilling. Finally, storming is like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, stomping up the, you know, gets up there, she goes into the cockpit, and you know, you see her talking, whatever. Next thing you know, pilot's like, ladies and gentlemen, we got a uh minor maintenance problem, blah, blah, blah. We're gonna have to have so they call out maintenance for something that's happening in the back. So as I overhear this, it's the whole thing is they went back to the back, and evidently from a speaker, coming from the speaker in the uh like a PSU that our pastor service, you know, where where your gas revents and all that stuff is, there's a there's like somebody's phone is actually connected and coming through the speaker. So is the Bluetooth speaker in the ceiling? No, no, no. They're thinking that a phone has connected to the aircraft speaker and it's coming through the speaker. Really? And so they couldn't figure out, like, they both went back there trying to figure out like how did this Bluetooth connect to our speaker on the plane? So they tell the pilots about it, and they're like, this is weird, blah, blah. We'll get maintenance come back and check out it. So we're sitting there waiting for maintenance, maintenance comes on, they walk back to the back, boom, boom, boom. They're back there for a few minutes. This is taking like 15, 20 minutes at least, right? They were waiting, finally they come walking up. Okay, we're good to go. Uh, it was just somebody's Bluetooth speaker up into overhead bin.

Shawn 43:56

I'm like Well, we go stuck on stupid again, right? Some of the stupidest shit happens on airplanes. Nobody does not people check.

G 44:06

I'm like, could not all three of you guys figure out like open up an overhead bin. This isn't can't possibly connect to our speakers. No. No. She tells the captain it's coming through our speaker. Because it was right over that area, you know. So they're like listening underneath speakers so they could hear it.

Shawn 44:27

Okay, if you were involved in that, you would have sit there and said they know what in hell because it's not Bluetooth. No. Exactly. There's no Bluetooth.

G 44:34

Again, we're right back to the technical aspects of the aircraft. Like you should know your planes a little bit better than that.

Shawn 44:39

So they they did not talk to you because there's no way in hell. You would have been sitting there the way you are about electronics. The first thing you would have said that that's the dumbest damn thing I've ever heard.

G 44:49

And I wouldn't have slowed up the stop pushing.

Shawn 44:53

You would have said that was the dumbest damn thing I've ever heard because we're not even blue. How could you Bluetooth into something that's not Bluetooth? Exactly.

G 45:03

Yeah. So again, there's an aircraft that turned around and came all the way back to the United States just because of a Bluetooth, so said bomb.

Shawn 45:14

Okay, so we're we're done with being stupid, so we're gonna we're gonna go around smart. We're gonna go around to Glu We're gonna go around to Grobe.

Mole People And Other Weird Headlines

Shawn 45:23

Grobe. So hey, did you see these mole people? Mole people? What are you talking about? In Brooklyn, they they have these videos of these people. What they're doing is, you know, the the um uh the street uh what is it the uh what I can't think the sewer, you know, when they go into the manholes. Manholes, yeah. You shouldn't remember that. Damn a manhole. But they're watching them out their windows, they're like, what these what are these people doing? What are they doing? All of a sudden they pull off the manhole and they're like they're like little gophers? Yeah. Three of them down in in there. The moles. Wow you you'd see that in a movie, right? I mean, you see in a movie like somebody's gonna go hijack something or somebody's gonna go steal something. Like, you know, Oceans 11. You know how they go down underneath something.

G 46:09

Listen, you ain't paying me enough to go down in a Brooklyn damn man. In Brooklyn.

Shawn 46:15

There ain't nothing over there you want to see rats and shit in there, big as yet. You know what they said that they think they were down there? What? They think it was some of the homeless people going down there looking for coins that come through the sewer. Fuck no. That wouldn't be worth it.

G 46:28
