Wait, You Don't Remember Ditching Me?

What happens when Shawn promises to attend a party, convinces G to go—and then completely forgets to show up? This episode begins with G calling Shawn out for missing a wild flight-attendant “Return to the ’80s” party while relaxing on his deck without a care in the world.

Once the excuses are over, we get into a serious airline-safety debate: Should overhead bins automatically lock during takeoff, landing, and emergency evacuations to stop passengers from grabbing their luggage? We also examine a passenger’s maintenance-delay nightmare and explain why honest, frequent communication from the crew can completely change the experience.

Then we pull back the curtain on the supposedly glamorous flight-attendant lifestyle, react to our new contract and pay increases, share a truly terrible haircut experience, and discuss why going to the movies is no longer the affordable adventure it once was.

Around the globe, we cover a pilot who allegedly flew for years using fraudulent credentials, a horrifying bungee-jumping incident, the rapid growth of AI travel agents, and whether commercial airlines could eventually operate with only one human pilot. We finish with an AI-generated walking fish, a $15,000 Pokémon card robbery, and a reminder that becoming someone you are proud of may be the greatest motivation of all.

Shawn 2:23

Wait a minute. Two days, two days before this thing went off. I told you, I told you two days. I'll see you at the party. You're like, oh yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be there, G. I'm gonna be there, G. Right. And your ass pulls a no-show. First of all, you're lying because it wasn't two days because my trip, I was a trip. It was a couple days, well, all right. So three days. So it had to have been before that four or five days. How okay, so it was a couple days. There's a couple of things that happened.

G 2:50

A couple days that time in this a couple days.

Shawn 2:53

I don't ever want to hear you bitch about anything that I missed again. But the party was good. You you gotta, I mean, even looking at the pictures, flight attendants throw some crazy ass parties. This was a return to the 80s party. Yeah. These uh these uh costumes made were freaking crazy. You had this this was really cool though. You had uh Chris, who was dressed up as um Kiss, Gene Simmons. Really? Yeah, and then I didn't see that before and then his woman was Madonna.

G 3:24

Oh, really? Now that is a mixture, right? Oh, gotcha, gotcha. I didn't see why you didn't show me one buncy picture. Oh, you didn't see one? No, you didn't flip it to me.

Shawn 3:33

Oh yeah. Yeah, it's uh he it uh he was uh he was Kiss and she was Madonna. I was like, man, quite the mix. Yeah, and then you had uh oh, had the aerobics. The aerobics, the aerobics was coming strong.

G 3:47

There was quite a few aerux people.

Shawn 3:48

Yeah, yeah. There was some aerobic, the little remember the get the the what was it, get physical outfits? They like run right up the rear end, yeah.

G 3:55

They pull that leader type right between the buck cheeks.

Shawn 3:58

Yep, then you had uh, let's see, remember O Mickey? Yeah, oh Mickey, you're so fine.

G 4:04

The little cheetah leader and shit. Yeah, you had all kinds of crazy shit. Yeah, that's cool. It was a lot funny. I missed it. I mean, I looked at the party pictures and I was like, damn it. And I did I did want to go. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't like I I wanted to avoid it or anything, but I literally just forgot about it. I woke up in the morning, I told my wife, Carol, and I'm like, I'm like, you know what I forgot last night? I'm like, I forgot the party. And she's like, and she's like, oh my gosh. Like she wasn't paying like because I think she was gonna be going too. Yeah, like she was said, she oh, I'll go for a few hours. Like we had already planned the whole thing out, talked and everything. Both of us forgot it.

Shawn 4:40

You know how I knew old ass. How I knew because I flew with her the next day.

G 4:43

Oh, yeah.

Shawn 4:44

Yeah, the next morning. Yeah, what did she say? What did she say to you? Sean's golfing. Sean was gone. No, and I was like, You gotta be shitting me. That's why that morning. I know that. That's why I figured that you weren't there. And I'm like, you didn't even say, I'm like, really? You uh you you couldn't have gone for a couple hours and still meaning.

G 5:03

I didn't want that much prep time, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, get up there, tune up the screen, boom, go. Yeah, and you won. I heard. And I won. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's pretty good. So this is a this is super interesting. So, you know, the golf like business happens on the golf course, you meet people on the golf course, all this stuff. So I'm golfing with this guy, I'd never met him before, and everything. And the pro was like, hey, this guy's pretty famous, you're golfing with. I'm like, what? He's like, Yeah, yeah. He goes, he's like in the hall of fame volleyball. And I go, What? He's like, Yeah, he goes, check him out. So, anyways, I look this guy up. So he is the ex female coach, oh, volleyball coach to Notre Dame. Oh, really? Yeah, world champion, he's in Hall of Fame, he's like super nice guy, yeah. Like, but you never know. Like we get in this match play thing at our country club, and we're just like, and you get paired up with people you don't you don't know who they are, whatever. You meet him for the first time, and this guy just met, and he just joined here recently, and so super nice guy and everything. But I mean, I like Google this dude, and I'm like, whoa, yeah, he but you whooped his ass. I don't know about whoop his ass, but I did beat him. I gave you a little credit, man. I gave you a little room right there, brother. You had a little room, yeah, yeah. I beat him on the 17th hole, closed him out, bam. I know. Carol told me, and I was like, Sean won. Yeah, I was right out of the gate this year. So I was up two at 15, right? And I get up on the tea box, and we're like, there's we're trying to go through this guy that was walking and stuff, anyways. There was just a jam in the course, and so we're talking about this, and I'm like, no, no, no, let's just go through, right? Right. So we get up there and I tee off, boom, huge slice right out of bounds. I'm like, what the fuck? That was yours? Yeah, me. Yeah. So I'm like, motherfucker. So I'm like, okay, provisional. I drop down the ball, boom, boom, hit it, boom, dig ass duck hook, right out of bounds, over the road.

Shawn 7:07

I was like, okay, I'm like, that's what I was wondering. Okay, at what point did you sit there and think this is gonna, this is gonna go to shit.

G 7:14

And I'm up to and I'm like, you know, I'm like, I literally looked at him and I'm like, your hole, you won. Like, let's go to the next one. You conceded for the next, so it's only hole by hole. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah. So I'm like, so I I go to the next, yeah, I just was like, don't even work, don't even like fuck this. And so we get to the next hole, and then we boom, boom. I made three, he made four, boom, I went back up. Yeah, yeah. So it was like, and then so he was like dormy at that time. So 17, boom.

Shawn 7:43

Dude, I was pretty impressed. You came out of the gate, though. You you won, you won right out of the gate. Yeah, that's pretty good for the summertime. Yeah, man. We'll see what happens next match. Yeah, but you suck when it comes to uh showing up, bro. No, you really do, dude. And it was on my phone too, like we reminded me. You would never uh if it was me that missed it, you didn't. I'd never heard the end.

G 8:03

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'd never oh, and you don't you think you're gonna be any different? No, please.

SPEAKER_00 8:08

No, I'm not gonna be any different at all.

G 8:10

Exactly. I know, that's what I'm saying. You're gonna be talking about this. How many are still talking about it? Count how many episodes this comes up. That's a quiz for you. A future quiz. I'm still on it.

Shawn 8:22

I'm still on it. Quit pouting, baby. Shut up.

Locking Overhead Bins During Evacuations

Shawn 8:27

Anyway, uh, you well, we're gonna have to move into some airline shit. Yeah. Okay, so recently that they were they we they've been talking about like, you know, passengers um uh taking their bags off the airplane during evacuations, yeah.

G 8:40

Stupid asses.

Shawn 8:41

Ideas of of how to stop that. And I had I had read this one article, it's actually pretty cool. What happens if they start implementing overhead bins that locked?

G 8:51

Oh, that'd be fucking fantastic.

Shawn 8:52

Could you imagine that? Could you imagine like having a button and then as soon as all the overhead bends are closed, we lock them?

G 8:58

Yeah. I mean, here's the thing that there's two things that I would love to have on a plane. Two things. And this is think about this. I would love to have locking bins that we can control like overall lock. Like when we're landing and taking off, we have like a central lock button. Boom, lock bins, all bins are locked. Right. That'd be a fantastic thing. Yeah, exactly. Then once we get up in the air, boom, unlock bins. Then people can get their shit and do whatever they need to do, right? Right. But then they can't evacuate with all their bags and all the stuff, other than their whatever they got at their seat. Usually it's a backpack or something like that. But so they're gonna be some idiots that still can do it. But it will limit the people that are grabbing their rollerboards and all that stuff. Like that that's that'd be awesome. I mean, but here's my other one. What do you think? I give you the second one. The second one would be a thing where we can just boom, cancel all electronic devices. We can like turn off the block all that shit. Like, boom. That would be two awesome improvements that many airplane manufacturers could do that would help airlines tremendously to be able to like boom, this is it. Or, you know, like even um yeah, like the just the that whole capability, like to be able to block cellular phones and block all that stuff and be like turn it off, where we can just press a button, all of a sudden they don't get any signal.

Shawn 10:22

Well, the big the biggest thing that the problem that I had with it was the um when these problems happen, the federal government they look at the flight attendants. Yeah, they look at the flight attendants like the flight attendants are responsible for stopping these people. Yeah, and and they can't, they they don't understand is that in evacuation, if they don't see immediate danger, right? Fire on board the aircraft or smoke going in, um they're they're thinking getting their shit. So how how does a crew member stop someone getting their bag in the middle of the plane? Middle of the plane, back of the plane, when we're in the back of the when we're in the back in the front of the plane, right? On some of the wide bodies, okay, we're in the middle.

G 11:00

It still doesn't matter, even if you're in the middle. I mean, there's middle section between it's between our stations and stuff on the plane. So you still can't, yeah. There's no way to control all that stuff, but I mean, like locking like a a way to just like lock I mean, all the cars, think about that right now. All the cars right now that are driving out there, modern cars right now, have the seatbelt indicators, right? Right? Yeah, they can put it in they could put it in a car, they could put it in a plane. Like that that would be something helpful to us as well. There should be seat belt indicators on the plane, right? Like, can you imagine if we had like a panel upboard and it showed all the seats and then you could see which ones are red and which ones are green and who's ready to go and who's not, yeah, that would be so helpful to us, you know.

Shawn 11:45

It'd be it would be great, but you know that there'd be some serious problems with it too. Because, well, no, look at it. If say you you come in, you come in and it's a close connect, and all of a sudden you hit the button and none of the damn bends unlock.

SPEAKER_02 11:59

Right.

Shawn 11:59

Right? And then you got a whole misconnect. Yeah, you have mechanical failures. It's just sad. I mean, it's a great concept, it's a great idea, but practical, is it gonna be practical? Right, probably not, because you know. Well, I mean, you you'd think that people would just be responsible, right? And not take their shit, but they they don't do that. People are responsible. I I think more so is that people are fucking idiots, right? Well, I I just think that that when the videos come out, that if you're if you're shown with with a bag in your hand, yeah, you should be fine. You should be fine. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's just we've talked about that before. I know, but but I'm saying is that they should just be fine because I don't think the electronic locking system on a bin is gonna happen. It's a great concept. Yeah, lots of problems.

G 12:44

FAA should be going after those passengers like that that are like for I mean, it's kind of like this like eh, there's this little like fine balance to me. Like, okay, you just had an incident, kind of like that um whatever the last one that we just saw, where you know, ladies running off with their bags and shit like that. So, like, you know, okay, yeah, they just had a traumatic incident that they're evacuating and plane and everything, but yeah, you weren't following rules either. Right. And guess what? What happens in all the traumatic incidents when you get pulled over by a cop? What if you get in an accident? You cause the accident. Does the police go, oh no, too traumatic? Don't give you a ticket? No, they give you a fucking ticket. Right. Right? Yeah. FAA should be the exact same thing.

Shawn 13:22

I mean, there's there's phones everywhere. You see these people with their bags, you see their faces.

G 13:25

Yeah, they should be following up onto them and be like, listen, we're enforcing this and you're here, now you're being issued a ticket.

Shawn 13:31

Yeah, because when well, okay, when they come to the terminal, they know they got a suitcase with them. If you have a suitcase, you shouldn't have a suitcase. Yeah. There should be no reason you have a suitcase. Yeah. So they need to stop looking at the crews. And that's fine. Whenever, whenever it's responsibility of a crew, that's if, you know, say that there was fire outside that door and you opened the door. You made a mistake. Right. Okay. I understand that.

G 13:53

Oh, shit. Yeah. Eyebrows just burned off, right?

Shawn 13:57

I know. You understand that. Not that door. But blaming the damn crew, blaming a crew for people running off an airplane with bags is bullshit. Yeah. But I just thought it was an interesting little uh uh read that they had about locking overhead bands. Great concept. I don't think it's practical though. I don't think it's gonna happen. Too many problems.

G 14:15

Here too many problems. Here's the thing it's not gonna happen because until it's mandated by the FAA for the aircrafts to have them, the companies will never spend the money to do that. There's nothing, there's no um uh value in it to an airline business, right? Yeah, so uh they're only gonna do the minimal they gotta do to comply. Yeah. Right? So it's a business, it doesn't matter. Airlines are a business, they're gonna only deal with that. Like we can come up with all these cool thoughts and stuff. Big business and the board of directors that the airline's gonna be say, fuck you. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a yes or no. We'll just go ahead and blame them. We'll just go, we'll we'll just if they're blaming the flight, then let's blame the board of directors. They make these calls of putting on these safety stuff.

Maintenance Delays From A Passenger View

Shawn 15:00

Yeah, absolutely. All right, man. You do you know when uh when you start the morning off, we have these great mornings, passengers come on, yeah, and uh the one thing that we always talk about is the shit show.

SPEAKER_02 15:10

Yeah.

Shawn 15:10

When it when the when the shit hits the fan, right? Right. So we're we're actually uh we're working working a flight, everything's going good, and then all of a sudden it it all goes the hell in a handbag in in about a minute. Yeah. And this is where a lot of passengers they they don't understand with the crews, and we go through this a lot. We board an aircraft, say good morning, you know, everybody sits down, they're they're uh getting in their seats, and all of a sudden you get that maintenance delay. Yeah. And everything goes to shit. Yeah. People start flipping out. Yeah.

G 15:43

So my connections.

Shawn 15:44

Yeah. Well, you haven't even got to that part yet. I mean, you they just uh you're just you're sitting there waiting. So a friend of mine, um, they had a situation to where they're they were like, okay, a passenger's perspective. So they're sitting there and I'm like, oh, this is this is gonna be interesting. See no passenger's perspective of a flight. So so when they boarded, same thing. Good morning, hello, how you doing? You know, it's all smiles, and um, and then they they go sit down and they they hear well, oh let's back up a little bit first. So when they first got to the when they first got to the gate, the plane was delayed inbound. All right. And then uh then the plane got there, flight was delayed because of a maintenance problem. All right. So they all went from standing in line to now they gotta go back and sit down. Gotcha. And then they tell them to get back up. So then they get back up and they get get in line. And as they get in line, the crew, the crew leaves the plane with their backs.

SPEAKER_02 16:45

Gotcha.

Shawn 16:45

Not a good sign. I love how you do that. It's not a good sign. So you're lined up, now the crew left with their backs. So uh everybody they're looking at each other, they go tell them to sit back down. So they go sit back down, then the gate agent leaves. Oh yeah. Really not a good sign. There's nobody at the game, there's nobody at the gate. So there's no questions, no information. Yeah. Everybody left the gate. Yeah. So then they're all standing around waiting.

G 17:11

There's in this day and age, they should be now looking at their app trying to figure out what's going on. Well, this is one of the okay, this is this was This is a per pa pastor's perspective.

Shawn 17:19

Okay, it they this low-cost carrier. Yeah. Okay, so then have like all the information that we give. I know, I know that on some of the things. I'm not giving letting that excuse go. I know, but all of them have apps. But it's it's not as up to date, let's say.

G 17:33

I mean, unless Because I asked them the same thing. Unless you're talking about like now there's a new airline out there, Beverly Hillbilly's airline, something like that, that don't have it, then I get it. But every damn airline has apps.

Shawn 17:44

Get back to the perspective because they they went to the app and it was there was no information. So then the agent leaves and it's black, they're all standing there going, what the fuck? You know, what's going on? Right. So then the agent comes back and doesn't make any information, then all of a sudden the crew comes back with their bags, and they get back on the plane. So they're next thing you know, they tell them to line back up. They get on a plane, bored. I'm kind of speeding this up. They they sit down. You are? Yeah, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'm just it it is the perspective of a freaking passenger. So they get on board, they board, they go out, they go out, they're waiting for the paperwork, and we know how this works. Right. They go out, they taxi out, plane breaks. Same maintenance problem. They gotta come back and repeat this all over again. And and inside, I'm I'm thinking, okay, their perspective of this is this is bullshit, they're having their meltdown and everything. Total. This is our world.

G 18:41

Yeah, this is normal, normal shit.

Shawn 18:43

This is an everyday event for us. This has happened to them one time.

G 18:48

Yeah.

Shawn 18:48

One time.

G 18:49

Yeah.

Shawn 18:49

This is this is normal. This is a normal day. SOP for us. Yeah.

G 18:54

Yeah.

Shawn 18:54

Normal day.

G 18:56

Yep.

Shawn 18:56

Because shit breaks. Yeah. And then followed up with on those days that we have your airline sucks.

G 19:02

Yeah. We'll never find you again. So so here's the rebuttal to this whole thing. Like here, you like I hear the air, the customer perspective, and all that stuff. I just want to point out in the story where I think the airline fucked up. And that is communication. Right. It sounded like this whole thing from their perspective, well, there was no communication. But we've been on how many hundreds of flights, the same thing happens, and there's communication. Right. Right. And that communication like makes this so much better. Where it's like, okay, people understand. Like when you're honest with them, genuine, this is that. Shit's broken. We're trying to fix it. Let it, we'll let you know. We'll stand by, right? Oh, we think we got it fixed. Oh, no, we don't got it fixed. Okay. Then they're like, oh no, there's a bigger delay. Oh, well, we're there's a bigger delay, ladies and gentlemen. We're gonna like, we're gonna look for new equipment. We don't know what we're doing right now. Tell them what the thought process, what how we're working, you know, you know the whole scoop. I know that's that's my whole point.

Shawn 20:01

That's the whole, yeah, yeah. My whole point is is that when a passenger's perspective of what's going on, we've been through it so many times, we know. But when we're on when we're on a flight, when we're on a plane, we're always making sure of what every 10 to 15 minutes, yeah, we're saying something. Dude, it helps us. Yeah. Like they they at least feel like we're communicating with them.

G 20:22

It helps us to slow down all the questions and all that stuff, because if you don't tell them, then you're gonna have tons of questions. Right. And here's a here's a tip to all those airline crews out there that don't do this shit. Because there's a lot that don't like listen, help yourself tell people what the fuck is going on. Yeah, help me help you. Help me help you to understand what that's happening and don't delay. Because people, when they delay, then that's you know, creates all that questioning and all that stuff. Right. But, anyways, yeah.

The Unseen Mess Behind Crew Glamour

Shawn 20:56

Good perspective. That's part of the glamour, the glamour of the job. It's one of those uh that's a big myth, right? Yeah, the glamour. The glamour of our job.

G 21:05

Yeah. Yeah. Glamour. Yeah, I thought it was super glamorous when that guy was throwing up to the other day in the aisle, bagging his face. It's kind of kind of cool. Yeah.

Shawn 21:17

You know, you see you see a lot of these.

SPEAKER_04 21:19

Yeah.

Shawn 21:21

Tiny the labs. When we when we talk about when we talk about stuff here on cabin pressure, right? When we talk about it, it's real.

SPEAKER_04 21:28

Yeah.

Shawn 21:28

You you and me, we talk about real shit. When you see like these Instagram little clips, these 15-second clips, I I know, and there might be people that already left the podcast before we get to this point. Right. Because a lot of them, you know, I mean, they only listen for a few minutes and then they're head out of here. I get that.

G 21:45

But there's some people that like, you know, go to the chapters and click on what they think is interesting, too.

Shawn 21:50

So you you see these little Instagram clicks that somebody says, Oh, I got like 10,000 views or whatever, which is cool. That's not that's not what happens. No, like my for my routine. When I'm a flight attendant, it was what I get up and I I do this with my face and I put these on my face and I roll out of bed and I put a uh-uh. Yeah. First thing you run out of bed, you're like, eh.

G 22:10

Yeah, we should we should do like we shouldn't do a like a little Instagram thing like that. Like the glamour of flight attendants. And we do all the one things like you know, wiping up, cleaning the bathrooms and the piss and shit they put out. Checking for hair on the floor, looking, you know, picking up people's garbage, having having people throw up everywhere. You're like cleaning up that shit. Oh, yeah, and your little puppy shit on the floor. Yeah, that that type of shit is fun.

Shawn 22:36

That's always fun. That's a good one. Or they go in the bathroom and they just completely blew the bathroom up. Yeah, exactly. And you got blocked it off, or you gotta go in there and clean it. There's glamour. Glamour. Yeah. We should do those videos. Could you imagine you and me doing a video clip like on Instagram, doing the short clips of waking up in the morning?

G 22:53

Yeah.

Shawn 22:55

Can't breathe. Get the mold, get that mold, you know, your sinuses are all blocked up. It would not be like these little glamour videos that they show. Yeah.

G 23:04

Come be a flight tenant.

Shawn 23:06

Dude, I felt like I went from section eight. I feel like the Jeffersons. Remember that? He wouldn't need to be able to do it. Moving on up, brother. I was moving on up.

G 24:29

I was at Bevery Hillbillies, man. It is good. You know what? No, it was good. It was great. The thing that I loved about it is that now, like, what I am, little I am working, now like Carol was like, Yeah, you're making good money now. Oh, now you guys gotta go to work. Yeah, no, no, no. Oh, hell no. Really? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She was like, okay, now you're at the point where keep doing what you're doing, we're fine. You know, she would always be like, maybe I need a little bit more in a lot, you know, before the last contract. I'm talking to Carol because I want to trade places with DJ. Now she was now. I want to trade places with you for a month. Dude, we are super close to like retirement here. Like, we like the coffer is getting there, right? I know you, coffer's never gonna be there.

The Bad Haircut You Discover Later

Shawn 26:29

man. I got I gotta switch this up a little bit. So went the uh went to the uh went to the the salon, got my haircut. You ever come out of the salon? You got a jacked-up fucking haircut.

G 26:40

Oh yeah, dude.

Shawn 26:41

Dude, you don't know it until you get home, right?

G 26:44

You but you're in there. Listen, let me tell you a story. And this is real, this happened maybe 15, 20 years ago for me, but this story was it happened right down the street here. So remember the outlet mall down the street here? Yeah. Okay, I decide I'm out down there and I'm like picking up clothes, whatever, and I'm gonna get my hair cut. So I swing in there that salon there, whatever. I'm like, oh get my hair cut. This girl walks in and I'm speeding the super up. I walk, I sit down in a chair, she walks over, she's like, How do you want your hair done? I'm like, I just want it trimmed up, you know, tapered a little bit, like to have a little line back in the back, you know, boom boom. And she's like, Okay. She like looks at it, she's like, touching, figuring out, roaming through. She hasn't cut shit yet. Just running. All of a sudden, she goes, Snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snap. Okay. I'm like, you haven't cut my hair. She's like, uh, yeah, yeah, I just cut your hair. And I was like, You haven't done shit. I said, This is the worst haircut I've ever had in my life. I said, You call this a haircut? I'm telling her right there, like right in her face. She's like, she's like looking at me. I was like, I'm not paying for this shit. I said, You haven't even cut my hair. I'm like, are you even a hairdresser? You didn't even have a blow off the smock? Yeah, dude, nothing. I'm like, are you a hairdresser or were you the receptionist just filling in or something? Like, I'm like, what the fuck? I'm like, fuck this. And I walk out. I'm like, I'm not. So then I have to go to another hairdresser, right? And I get back to my normal haircut. Right. And she's like, what the fuck happened to your hair? I said, some girl up down here at the element mall just cut a chunk here and a chunk there. And I said, now I need you to reshape this shit into some normal shit.

Shawn 28:34

And okay, that's that was my point. Right. It doesn't grow back when they jack it up. Well, it grows back, but just grows back uneven and all that shit. Not by the next day. No, no, no. No. Okay, now let me get to my point. So I'm I'm there and I go home, they're like, okay, you really don't know because I get a certain cut, I get a fade, and you know, it's like a military cut. Right. So I go home and I go to wash it and get all the hair out of it, style it. I'm like, the fuck? Like, pieces are coming up here, something's over here. This kind of flatten here. Um and it kind of curled.

SPEAKER_04 29:11

Yeah.

Shawn 29:11

I'm like, what the hell are you supposed to do with this? I don't have time to go back. I've got to work the next day. So I'm trying to figure out what the fuck to do with this hair. It's it's like jacked up all over the place, right? So you're like trying to style it some way to where it doesn't look all messed up. Now, I go back, I go back the next day.

SPEAKER_02 29:32

Right.

Shawn 29:33

And you know this mess. The girl that cut it is there.

SPEAKER_02 29:37

Right.

Shawn 29:37

So she comes up and she's like, Hi, uh, did you sign up in online? I'm looking at her, going, I was just here yesterday, right? Yeah. Do you not recognize this? I I got to talk to somebody about my hair. And she goes, Wow, what's the problem? I'm like, There's a bunch of problems. It's like all over the place. So this other one comes and she goes, Here, I'll take a look at it and straighten it out. Now, this is not a school, Sean. No. So this one stands here and watches, and she goes, Well, what you want to do is this, this, and this. And I felt like I was at a fucking school. At a school. Wait a minute.

G 30:14

You are at a science experiment.

Shawn 30:17

She she is actually talking to her and explaining to her why she is cutting it this way and why this is done.

G 30:25

No, dude. So here, here, I've been going to the same barber for almost 30 years. Yeah, okay, I get it. Like, I don't, like, no, I'll take that. A little exaggerated. I've been here for 26 years in this house. I've been going her for 26 years. Yeah. She moved locations. I'm still going to her to the new location. Yeah. Because that's what you just explained, is what I don't ever want to experience again.

Shawn 30:53

Yeah, I I'm not more into the Vegas haircut.

G 30:56

I just rolled it down. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna back up. People, we're right back to this whole damn thing about money. He's to the cheapest fucking haircut that you can finally get, right? It's a freaking fade, man. Come on. He wants the cheapest damn thing. Just give me some. Well, that's what you get. It's a fade. You get a laughed about it.

Shawn 31:15

I mean, I was I was joking around with her about it. It actually was pretty funny because looking at this, it it literally, I felt like I was at the the the hairdresser.

G 31:27

You gotta start going to the same barber. Yeah. Same barber. If you go to the same barber, no one has story. I had a hair story. You don't need that is actually funny. I don't want my fucking, you know, I don't need to be gumby and shit.

Shawn 31:37

Like it was a good story.

G 31:40

Yeah.

Shawn 31:40

It was a true one. All right.

G 31:41

If you want to keep on having stories, I will.

Shawn 31:43

I'll still have a story. Go. It was good. I just ain't gonna go to her again. I'll make fun of your ass. Now shut up. Saying that again.

Why The Movie Theater Feels Ruined

Shawn 31:51

Hey, I seen that. Uh have you seen that movie that movie trailer with Brad Pitt? No. You haven't seen it? No. All the trailers come out. Heart of the Beast. Heart of the Beast. What's it about? Well, you know, there hasn't been any good movies out.

SPEAKER_02 32:04

I don't know.

Shawn 32:05

Have you seen any? Have you seen anything remotely that you had an interest that you liked?

G 32:10

Literally last night was the first time I turned on a TV in like two weeks. Yeah, I know. I haven't I haven't watched anything either. I haven't streamed, I haven't turned on TV, I haven't watched anything in like two weeks. I just had too much shit going on.

Shawn 32:24

Yeah. Yeah. Well they they I seen the trailer. It's it's hard to be. So I have not seen a movie that I wanted to see, like a tra a clip that I've wanted to see a movie in a long time. And I wanted to see this one I thought was really cool because you know, Pitt, you know, he was he he always portrays like this real good looking. Now it's kind of this grungy military special ops. He's getting old. I know, but it was really cool though, because he was portraying this this um military guy and he had this um he had this uh scouting dog. And it was kind of cool that the dog had like these silver teeth that got replaced. Oh wow. Yeah, he replaced because he got hit with a bomb. He had uh he had a prosthetic leg. Oh wow and um and he got hit with the bomb and the guy was like, Well, what'd you do? What'd you do to uh the guy that did that to him? He goes, I shot him in the head.

SPEAKER_02 33:11

Yeah.

Shawn 33:12

I'm like, I'm I gotta go see the head. Yeah, I gotta go see it now because I'm like, he shot him in the head.

G 33:17

No, it sounds like a cool movie. I I'm I'm looking forward to a cool movie.

Shawn 33:20

No, I it it's the only one that that like I've seen the trailer recently that I want to go see a film. I've not seen any, I've not seen anything that I remotely want to go see.

G 33:29

Yeah, well, I haven't seen TV to be able to see a trailer to see you. First of all, again, I think we talked about this before. I don't go to movies. No, like ever. I don't care. I see the movie, like I see that club, I'll be like, okay, it's gonna be on that's I'll be looking for that at home.

Shawn 33:46

No, I every once in a while I'll go. I'll go to the earlier show because there you go again and be like, oh, this cheap ass wants to go to the early show. Yeah, no, no, no, dude.

G 33:54

I go and get my senior discount. Fuck that. See, I'm in. That's sad. We're we get senior discounts now. I'm in, I'll do that. But the only reason why I go to shows now, yeah, is with my nieces or something. Like, I got I got like somebody else driving me to go there. Like, I am going to go with this. This is an event that we're doing with the family or whatever. But outside of that, like if it's just me and Carol, I'm not going to a movie. There's no way. Yeah. I hate the whole experience now. What the movie experience? Yeah. I hate it. What? Is it like when we went to the movies, like when we were kids? You remember we'd go to the movies? It was like, dude, my my mom would drop us off of the movies, man. I every Bruce Lee movie in Under the Sun we saw, every freaking Godzilla movie I saw. Like that was an adventure. We go there, have a little bit of popcorn, canon, you know, like a little box of candy and show. It was like five, ten bucks tops, you know, was the whole thing. Five, ten bucks. That's the soda. That's what I'm saying. That's a soda. Not even now. Like you go to the movie theater now. The ticket might be like you can get a cheap ticket now, but you get to the door, you want a soda, it's buy, it's ten dollars. Yeah, we we bundle a box of popper, they want 20. But you'll bundle the popcorn, dude. All that shit. It's like it's like it's it's it's outrageous how much they charge now.

Shawn 35:12

Oh, I know, I know the popcorn. Yeah, popcorn in a soda is like 20 some dollars.

G 35:17

We go with uh my nieces and my nephew and all that stuff. We'll go to the I mean, two little girls, four adults, we're all at the movies. I mean, I'm dropping a hun. That's crazy. Easy. That is crazy. Easy, yeah. You know, like I mean, it's it's not that that experience is like I'm like, I can go to my house, I can have some jippy pop. Okay, you know, like all that stuff.

Shawn 35:41

But they've changed a lot of these theaters too. Some of these theaters have those laying down chairs, yeah.

G 35:45

They have the reclining. You can't put me in that, I'm going to sleep. Right, right. Well, I do. I go to sleep right here in the middle of the house.

Shawn 35:50

I know in yours, in yours, but you just paid like a hundred bucks. And I'm uh you just missed a movie that you just bought. I gotta wait till it comes out to watch it at home because my ass fell asleep in this damn recliner. They convinced me to stay in.

G 36:05

Yeah. I I mean movies, movie experience is so so changed these days that I just uh I can't do it. All right, man.

How A Fraudulent Pilot Slips Through

G 36:12

We're going around the globe. So they had this cat. Wait, wait, wait. Do we are we're going around the globe? We got did we miss anything? No. Okay, yeah, yeah. All right. No, you got this cat. Go ahead. Now can I go around the globe?

Shawn 36:23

Okay, go. Are you sure? Sure. Is it okay? I guess so. Anyway, this captain was flying. Uh, he was uh from 2009 to uh 2025. He had a fraudulent license documents. Now, he had the license to fly. Okay, he had a certificate to fly, but not as being a captain. Right. How'd you do that? How do you how did they miss that?

G 36:51

All these years, all these years. I was thinking about that too when I saw this. I was like, um how does that happen and all this stuff? Because, you know, here's the chief pilot of an airline is supposed to keep on record all their license stuff, you know, but then it's like us, it's just the same as our records. Our records are all digitized and all that stuff right now, too, right? So I could see it happening for a period of time, but not what this guy was. Like, this is a long, long time.

Shawn 37:23

Okay, they do background checks for flight attendants, and your shit comes up for a background check. Now you're your license and certainly.

G 37:31

No, but your license and certificate, somebody's got to check it. Yeah, but this guy was like he was non-quality, period, from the beginning, right? Or was he?

Shawn 37:42

Okay, but yeah, but think about that. Carol's a captain. Right. Ain't no way in hell. How in the hell was she she got got sitting in that seat all these years being a captain without having her papers?

G 37:54

Well, by the time you get, you don't come in the airline as a captain. Like you come in the airline as a first officer, I understand that. It's paperwork. I get it. I understand that. Right, all paperwork. I mean, I I was looking listening to the story real detailed, like, because I was like, how could this possibly happen? Like through the loopholes and stuff. But as far as this guy was, like him not being qualified, I was like, this is weird. Like he had a fraudulent license. But I mean, how many times have we seen doctors? But supposedly this guy knew it. How many same times have we seen doctors? The same thing, right? I mean, that people that have our lives in their hands, pilots, doctors, not have the qualifications. Like we've seen that before.

Shawn 38:40

But airline pilots, okay, airline pilots, it it's a little different. They know what it takes to get to certain levels. Yeah, but here's why would you but why would you want to risk all that, all that? I mean, you you actually uh apparently you got the knowledge to fly. Right. You know the aircraft. You do it, you do your sims, you do all your checks. Why would you why would you have fraudulent papers? That doesn't make any sense.

G 39:04

No, no, no, it doesn't make sense. It's just like that doctor that wants to be a doctor. He didn't pass the freaking, you know, doctor's exams. You know, like it's the same thing. Like, okay, here's a guy that wants to be a doctor. This guy passed him. That doesn't make any sense. No, did he he didn't wait? He has fraudulent papers. I understand that. So that's the same thing as the doctor I'm saying. The doc like somebody wants to be a doctor, somebody wants to be a pilot, and they go in and they make fraudulent papers, fraudulent license, fraudulent all that stuff. And the agency that hires them or the agency that they're working for just accepts that at face value without any investigation. Whereas, you know, for us, they background check us before they we get qualified, right?

Shawn 39:50

And we're in the back of the plane, these guys are flying the damn thing. Right, right. I mean, listen, we we talk about this all damn day. That doesn't none of that shit makes sense. Yeah, that doesn't not make any sense. I don't care what that doesn't make any sense. How how a uh who's responsible for the plane?

G 40:06

No, it makes sense. It makes sense. How it's making any sense is uh you keep on saying it doesn't make sense, doesn't make sense it makes sense when you got the agency fucked up. Whoever hired them is not doing their jobs to check this person. No, that's what I that's it that's what I'm saying.

Shawn 40:21

That makes sense. That makes sense, yes. Yeah, because you're saying the same thing. No, I'm not. You're saying it's not making sense, doesn't make sense. Well, bullshit, you're going, you're you're saying it's a good thing.

G 40:31

It makes sense because people don't like they're not doing the right thing. But anyways, that that's that was fucked up. That the guys like running around there. But I mean, that's like there's this. Um you ever watch those uh um forensic files or that type of stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's that one doctor that was in like Indiana, he was doing like plastic surgery for years and years and years, and he only got caught because somebody died. Yeah, just a small thing, yeah. So then when he got caught, then they came into question like, wait a minute, you know, where's his license? Where's his all this stuff? And you know, where boom a little late to the show, a little late to the show, but this could be the same

The Bridge Throw That Turns Tragic

G 41:10

type of thing.

Shawn 41:10

Well, we had another example this week of why I don't I never did stupid shit that you've asked me the day. What's that? They had a 21-year-old this video, man, they threw her off. It was like a viral video. They threw her off this bridge in Sao Paulo, somewhere in Brazil.

G 41:26

This is awful, man. And I mean, watching this whole thing happen and them like lining up to like launch her off. Like it's it's a weird thing. Like every time, like I was watching a video too, and you know, when you see bungee jumpers and stuff, they're all connected. There's nobody throwing them off, right? Right, they're just like, okay, I'm connected, I'm ready to go, okay, jump. You know, like you're doing it. Right.

Shawn 41:54

They pick this bitch up and she launched her like a plane. When you watch this, okay, but when you when you're saying that, the bungee, the bungee cord, right? Okay, in the video, when you see the video of this and you guys see this viral video, right? You'll see a rope. They're seeing it. You'll see a rope on the ground. You don't see a bungee cord anywhere. Yeah. Not one bungee cord. You see a rope on the ground. I I mean, maybe. No, you do. You see a rope. I don't know if it's a rope or a bungee. That ain't a bungee cord. A bungee cord, a bungee cord is thick. It's like it's like four inches thick. That's not a bungee cord.

G 42:30

Yeah, I don't again. I'm right back. You're like, you're like assuming that was a rope. Oh bullshit. There's a bottle that maybe that wasn't their bungee cord.

Shawn 42:38

I have no idea. A bungee cord for a gerbil, maybe, but that's there, ain't no way in hell. There's no way in hell.

G 42:45

Again, just timing you out. You're you're doing some assumptions here. Like, I don't know what that was. Yes, it looked like a rope similar or whatever, but maybe that was their own.

Shawn 42:55

All right, when you guys look at this video, you tell me, you send a message to the city. They're already seeing the damn video. Well, then you see the video. When you see the video, the message in back and tell Sean, go, that ain't no damn bungee cord. That's a fucking rope. That's a rope on the ground. Dude, I mean no is something. All right, let's get back to the little video part of it. So you have all these people that are videoing this. Yeah. You have these people watching her. You have two people launching her, one's behind her, and you don't see anything around her, around her ankles. Bungee cords, there's a strap around her ankles. Yes, there's a hook strap onto it, there's a big ass, big ass four-inch bungee cord, not one one-inch rope, laying on the ground, hooked onto her ankles, and then they launch her out for three seconds and she pile drives into the ground. You don't see that part.

G 43:48

My assumption is that she hit the ground. No, what she did hit the ground. Right. So my point is that, and what you're saying here is all correct, but these. Guys are fucking idiots already, and so you're you're saying, Oh, a bungee cord is this thick. Well, yeah, in our world, it makes sense to have a bungee cord that thick. Again, these guys are fucking idiots. They threw her off the bridge. Yeah. Not even attached. Yeah. Okay. Was that a proper bungee cord? Maybe. Who knows? Everybody in this whole thing was idiots. Yeah. Well, they're all in jail. Yeah. All of them are in jail now.

Shawn 44:25

So, but anyway, it just I like I said, reaffirms why you when you asked me to do things like jump out of an airplane. Right. Or if you had said, hey, gee, let's go bungee jumping. Did I tell you to do it in a Sao Paulo? I wouldn't do it anywhere. Anywhere. I there's no way that three guys are launching me off a fucking bridge for any reason. There ain't no way. There ain't no way.

G 44:50

That was horrible. That was horrible. That was terrible,

AI Travel Agents And One Pilot Future

G 44:54

man. Hey, so uh did you this uh um whole thing about AI is like exploding right now. And like everybody, you know, AI this, AI that, and everything. But I was watching this whole uh video about how AIs and airlines are they're using it, but also not only airlines, but now you know the travel agencies that are out there, the you know, the Trabagos and those type of like agents AI agents are gonna come in like full swing and impact the agents right now are like astronomical. But here's the thing it's like in an area where those a uh travel agents are still in need, right? Yeah, so AI agents are like exploding right now, and they're talking about how they're gonna take jobs and all this stuff. And how many times have we heard about AI is oh, it's gonna take a job? A lot. Yeah, I mean it's like it's like yeah, technology. I want to see the first AI gate agent.

Shawn 45:59

No, no, no, because I'm saying could you imagine this? And and when whenever they come off and and a person's pissed, yeah, and they're like yelling at them, and the AI the AI agent goes, I'm not gonna talk to you right now if you're gonna use that kind of language, right? This machine, this dude running, man, let me tell you something. Uh right now I'm gonna shut down if you continue to use that type of language.

G 46:26

And you're just talking to the screen.

Shawn 46:29

Exactly.

G 46:29

Or or those little, you know, you go into those uh the restaurants now and they have all the things. It's gonna be some of the funniest damn videos, and shit now, right?

Shawn 46:37

It'll be some of the funniest videos. You know, they're gonna pick up a sign and start beating that damn machine.

G 46:42

I thought it was interesting that like people are like worried about all this stuff, like taking jobs. I'm like, but the positive to it, like AI is right now, AI agents, travel agents can do everything. Yeah, you can literally go and say be like, listen, I want to go on this vacation, I need a hotel, I need a plane, I need a car, I need a you know, I want to do some tours then. Boom. AI agent can do it all.

Shawn 47:06

AI well I mean, you know, AI is taking over. I mean, even all these other jobs, and we talked about this all the time. AI is just there's so many jobs that now you gotta worry about your future. Because you you could have gone to school and and been in your job for 10 years, and then all of a sudden AI takes it all over.

G 47:23

AI is not replacing us. Nope. That's the one thing, and definitely no. AI is not replacing us, maybe in the future, a pilot, but us, no. Yeah, I mean, as long at least one pilot.

Shawn 47:38

As long as I think eventually, I I think eventually we'll be we'll be down to one pilot and AI and AI. You think so? Yeah, and because you know what what's gonna happen? Uh what's gonna happen? You know, there's gonna be some kid on the ground that can now take over the aircraft and fly it from a from a stick in in a computer.

G 47:58

Well, I think they have the technology to do that already, right? So that's all their drone technology.

Shawn 48:02

But I still want so I still want one in the pit. Right. I mean, I don't care if if if okay, you so you have you'd have like AI pilot, you'd have the regional pilot, and then you have somebody in case of emergency could actually take it over and fly. Manual control. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:16

Right.

Shawn 48:17

So I mean, I could see that in the future. Going down to a one pilot situation, going down to a one pilot situation. I could see that in the future doing that because with the technology, but I'd always want at least one female or male in the box.

SPEAKER_02 48:31

Right.

Shawn 48:32

Right? I I mean, I I I want at least one in there.

SPEAKER_02 48:35

Yeah.

Shawn 48:35

Because if they if they screwed up and that's not working, I want somebody at least can fly that damn thing.

G 48:41

No, I mean, but that makes sense. Like in our career right now, this is interesting that you bring this whole thing up because in our career, when we started flying, there was three pilots in there. Three in a lot of the planes, right? Yeah. So now they're down to the city. Started off as an engineer. So now they're down to two.

Shawn 49:00

Oh, I can see I can see it to one. I mean, I I can see the the right seat being an AI pilot. Yeah. And and you know, the the whoever it is be certified to be the captain, the decision maker. Everybody's got to be a captain on on that. So there's no there's no change. But now talking about AI, I know you're gonna have fun with this. What's up? You you're gonna love this one because I've you made a point of telling me my coffin fish. I seen this video. No, I seen a video and it was really cool.

G 49:31

It was like it's a cute video because it has this fish, and the fish is like walking.

Shawn 49:38

I love how I understand it, Joe. I'm like, dude, check this out. And when I came in today, he was like, gee, that was AI. Yeah, it says right on the bottom, AI. I know it's a lot of people get it, but it was cool.

G 49:49

I I did, I Googled and looked up the you know, a real coffin fish. And it was it was it was cool. It's very, very, I mean, the it was close to the AI. They had the job and all that stuff. They're they're cool looking fish and all that stuff, but it would it wasn't like strolling.

Shawn 50:04

Mine was cool though. Mine was sweet. I was like, man, you know, you gotta see this, man. But this AI is such a few.

G 50:10

I think the AI one only had like two feet, right? There was only like two feet. Yeah, like like a real one. The real one had four feet.

Shawn 50:20

Yeah, like four feet walking, strolling. It's a cool fish, though. If you like walking fish, I like walking fish. I was like, I got hey, I got a kick out of watching him. Right. So it was a lot of fun. But then, okay, last one.

Pokemon Card Theft And Collector Culture

Shawn 50:33

Uh, so these guys went in California. You know, know this. $15,000 worth of Pokemon cards. This is really big right now. Have you seen that? Explain this whole thing because I don't quite understand. So they went in any of these things you're talking about. They broke into this, um, broke into it. They broke into this shop and they stole like $15,000 worth of Pokemon cards. Ah, gotcha. Pokemon cards are back in now. I mean they've always been in. I know, but I'm talking about the collecting of them. No, they've always been in. Really?

G 50:59

Yeah. I mean, it seems like ever since Pokemon came out, they've been.

Shawn 51:02

I know, but I've seen him in the media. What's that one guy? He sold that one for a few million dollars.

G 51:06

Yeah, I mean, but here's the thing Pokemon and collecting, like we're we're just it's not we're not mainstream to the you know that whole world of collecting cards and all this stuff, but ever since they came out, like collecting cards doesn't matter, baseball, Pokemon, you know, game cards, magic, all that stuff, that's been going on for years and years and years. But like the older we get, obviously those cards, original cards, I was just talking, so I was just talking to my sister, and my sister was like going through all my mom stuff and everything, and I'm like, uh I go, hey, if you come across my original Dungeons and Dragons book, can you send me those? Because I don't know if my mom like kept that type of stuff.

Shawn 51:50

That'd be worth some cash.

G 51:52

Exactly. So I'm like, if you come across that stuff, and I know my brothers, like young my younger brothers, got into them. I don't know what they did with them, like if they ever like got rid of them. They probably did, whatever. Yeah, it's not a big deal no matter what, but I was just thinking, man, my original Dungeon Dragons books would be like worth some serious bucks right now.

Shawn 52:13

Now, see, I was thinking more like when these guys go to prison and they get caught, be like, yo, man, what you down for, brother? What you down for? He's like, yo, man. Pokemon theft? Pokemon. Yeah. I took a Pokemon?

G 52:24

Yeah.

Shawn 52:25

What you down for?

G 52:26

I nab that Pikachu and no problem.

Shawn 52:28

I killed somebody.

unknown 52:31

Huh?

Shawn 52:31

Because they stole my Pokemon card. Exactly. Now that was shit, was funny.
