Speaker 2Hey , everyone , welcome . This is cabin , so what's been going ?
Speaker 1on Sean Dude . Everything in the world's going on . The sky's falling , the mountains are burning , the world is turning upside down .
Speaker 2So you had the same kind of week I like .
Speaker 1There's a lot of people in this world having a lot of crazy shit happening right now . I mean , I don't you know the show we were talking about , how we're putting together . We don't even know where we're going to start with this stuff . There's just so much stuff happening in the current events that it's just you know I felt like it was airline blotters this week yeah , there's a lot of airline news . I mean there's so much airline news going on , uh , the whole , you know it literally was blotters .
Speaker 2I mean there was so was so much stuff . I was writing this stuff down . I was like you gotta be shitting me this is . It just kept coming .
Speaker 1Yeah , yeah , this is . I mean . It's crazy , I mean . But hey , just to start off like my recap of what's happening with me dude , just working on my books right now , still , I've got , I've got a little bit , a couple of different ideas and works right now and , um , something that I didn't talk to you about . That's like just happened last week that this is like I mean , you're going to be like it's going to throw you back in your seat right now . But I got this anonymous text last week and it was from this gal that I had messaged in 2018 . And it was through Ancestry and I'd been people don't know on this show and our personal stuff , whatever , but I don't know who my biological father is . And this text came through saying hey , I got your message . I just saw this . I apologize . I see that you tried to message me twice . Can we talk ? So I'm thinking this is a scam .
Speaker 2Yeah , right , yeah it is . I'm just following you right now , right , right , I'm just like I'm thinking this is .
Speaker 1You know , wait a minute , wait a minute . So I'm like , well , who is this ? And you know , wait a minute . So I'm like , well , who is this ? And tell me your name and let me look it up on Ancestry and look at the whole thing , right ? Well , one thing led to another man and guess what ? This lady is my cousin . She's one of my first cousins . Really , she knows my father . Oh my God . And I found my father and he's alive . That's crazy . And I found my father and he's alive .
Speaker 2That's crazy , and he lives in Chicago .
Speaker 1That close , that close . That is crazy . I mean it's just . It was mind-blowing man . This happened like I was just getting ready we were getting ready to go travel last week and it was the night before and I was scrambling to get everything done and then I get this text and I was just like your mind's spinning man . I couldn't get any sleep last night . She called me and we actually got on the phone and she gave me a whole list and like told me who you know my father and my uncles and my aunt , and how many cousins I've got and all this family I've got over in Chicago and we swapped some pictures and stuff and I got to see like recent pictures of my father .
Speaker 2Like you had to have a moment , though I mean , that's gotta be freaking crazy dude , it's mind blowing .
Speaker 1I mean , you're just , you're just . I mean all these years , like all these years , I'm 59 years old , 59 and a half years old , and been looking for this man for um since I was 40 years old .
Speaker 1I mean , it's a long story and it's amazing he's still alive , though , sean , one of the things I've been like thinking about is I've been thinking about writing a book about me . You know just my whole life story , about this whole thing , and I did not think that I , that my father , my biological father , was going to be alive , and I thought , you know my mom's 80 , you know she's , she's , she's getting up there . So the likelihood of you know mem don't lives long and all that stuff . And I have found a new sister a few years ago . Um , you knew about that , right , yeah ?
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1Yeah , so a new , new sister . That's a whole nother story , but that adds to my whole story about this adventure , and it's just it's wild , it's just wild .
Speaker 2I adventure and it's just , it's wild , it's just wild . I mean it's just now , but are you gonna ?
Speaker 1are you gonna make contact ? I'm gonna try to , because in the in the end of the story that um , I found out that he has early set dementia oh okay . So I mean , things are things , that things are falling off and what he can remember when he can can't , and so it's just a super , it's an interesting story . At the same time it's just mind-blowing because your head spins about the whole thing , because you're just like , and it just happens .
Speaker 2I don't want to just what he looks like . You know what I mean . I mean , does he look like you ? Yeah , I know .
Speaker 1I got pictures . I'm going to show you the pictures and stuff . But yeah it , it is wild , but that's what's been going on with me .
Speaker 2Well , yours is a pretty cool week .
Speaker 1Well , yeah , cool , I mean cool interesting .
Speaker 2That's pretty cool , though you think about it . I mean , you go all this time and you not know about your dad , and then you find out they still love you yeah .
Speaker 1I'm actually anxious , like when I connect with anybody that I find like cousins and all this stuff . I try to reach out Like I try to go visit , get to know people you know , make contacts and all that stuff . Like I'm not . I'm not going to hesitate , like this gal that talked , my cousin that talked to me . She lives in Dallas and guess what ? She's a Southwest flight attendant .
Speaker 2No way Seriously Past privileges , yeah , man .
Speaker 1I mean , just like the story just gets crazier and crazier when you start putting the whole thing together .
Speaker 2Ancestry is crazy . My sister did that years ago too and she said she got back pretty far .
Speaker 1But that is pretty interesting yeah my mom has done it on my mother's side all the way back to where she has put together that we are related to Daniel Boone . How crazy is that right ?
Speaker 2I can't even imagine you being related to Daniel Boone .
Speaker 1Dude , you know I could wear the shit out of some clean-skinned hat .
Speaker 2I could see you doing that . That's for sure , there's no lie . I could see you doing that . That's for sure , there's no lie . I could see you doing that .
Speaker 1That's right Anyhow . So man , tell me what's been going on with you .
Speaker 2All right , if I could sum up this week , this would be if you had a week that you could bottle it up , put a ribbon around it and throw that shit away . That'd be my week . That'd be the week . That'd be this week . I'm telling you , man , you know I'm still shaking my head right now because there's a lot of other things that happened this weekend . Sometimes you just get dumbfounded . You're like , when is this shit going to stop ?
Speaker 1Yeah , I hate when bad things happen . They always say what bad things happen in threes right .
Speaker 2But it just seems like when you have that thing that just keeps coming and keeps coming , it's like you know . But when you try to do right things , this is what really gets me and I'll continue to do right things but you do right things and bad shit just keeps happening you're being tested dude .
Speaker 2No , it was horrible , but anyway , just give you a
little idea . So normally do turns and I picked up a two-day trip . It had a layover and so it kind of went south . All that weather that was going through the country . It delayed us in San Francisco . So we're out in San Fran , we're standing there and we're waiting , and delayed , delayed , and then we boarded up . And then we boarded up again and they delayed , and then the last time they said that we were delayed till 250 . At that point we were illegal .
Speaker 1So you did a double boarding out in San Fran . That whole mess . I mean every flight . It's going to be like cringing right now . We hate doing this .
Speaker 2Yeah , you get paid , not paid , paid , not paid , yeah . Well , it's mostly not paid , yeah , and mostly not paid .
Speaker 1Right .
Speaker 2But anyway . So , uh , they had to replace it . We were going illegal and , uh , and my crew was really cool , they stayed on board and we stayed on board so that people didn't have to deplane until the next crew came . They didn't come for about 25 minutes , but anyway we were illegal . So I'm thinking , finally , I don't get much sleep , you know that . So I just brought pajamas with me and I'm thinking , man , this is going to be a good layover , I don't have to worry about doing anything . I'm not going to the gym , I'm not doing shit , I'm going to go straight to that bed . I'm going to watch some TV , I'm going to get a good night's sleep . It started off that way and , uh , and so I go to sleep midway through the night , get up just like every other guy does . I got to go go to the bathroom , sure you're old .
Speaker 2Yeah , thanks , man but anyway , get up , go to the bathroom and folks here's the one thing , the lesson that that you learned from this . I had put my suitcase , probably four inches sticking out from the dresser . Oh no , okay , and you know it's pitch dark in the room and you're going towards the bathroom light . You're like a mosquito going towards a zap .
Speaker 1Stumbling in the dark .
Speaker 2So I'm walking straight and , oh my God , right my left toe the one next to the big one hit that wheel and snapped that thing Just broke my toe . You broke your freaking toe I can't imagine I'm like are you shitting ?
Speaker 1me dude , dude , was it ? Was it a scream ? Was it a grip ?
Speaker 2no , it was some choice freaking words and it was not nice . I'm not even gonna repeat them on this right now , but I was so mad . I was so mad . It don't get me , you know , it's pain right okay , but I was pissed more than pain and I went in at yourself at it . I looked down and I was like son of a man . I looked at that thing and it was pointing the wrong direction . Who ?
Speaker 2is the stupid motherfucker that put me , me dumb ass me . And you know something , the thing you wouldn't think of it because you have this big walkway right . I mean you have it long . And you know something , the thing you wouldn't think of it because you had this big walkway right .
Speaker 2I mean you have it long , but you know it was that four inches that was sticking out , it's all it takes man and it snapped that toe , and so I spent the next hour putting band-aids together , because the only thing that you can do is pull that toe for support against the other big toe right and wrap that thing up and then , as it throbs , you get the lay there and I'm not enjoying the rest of the show . No , you're not , you're not staying , you're not getting any sleep that night no , and then , then I gotta get up and I gotta work the next day . Yeah so , and how long was your next day , sam fran ?
Speaker 1back to cleveland through denver oh my gosh , yeah , yeah , you had another . What 12 hour day , at least minimum , right ? Yeah , yeah , it was . It was . That's . That's crazy man . Ooh , I feel for you . No , I'm not done . You're not done . No , no , okay .
Speaker 2So then , uh , as you know , just uh , just today , um freaking car accident . No man , in my entire life , I just want to tell you folks , in my entire life I have never , ever had a ticket ever , not a parking ticket , not a moving ticket , nothing . I've never had a ticket ever .
Speaker 1That's impressive because I've had lots . I could tell you stories about all kinds of tickets I've been in , gotten into and got out of .
Speaker 2I'm not even going to get into this whole story about the accident , because my blood pressure will be going through the roof and you know that . Right , but it was unbelievable .
Speaker 1It was absolutely unbelievable . Accidents and these things that happen , I mean it just totally . You know that screws up your whole day , it screws up your karma . You're getting your day started early in the morning , whatever , and boom , you know this , this accident happened . And we're not going into any details here , any of that stuff , but it you know , you just got to like at some point .
Speaker 2you just gotta be like you know that was my car , sean .
Speaker 1You know that man you just bought this brand new .
Speaker 2Immaculate .
Speaker 1Right .
Speaker 2Yeah , so anyway , it is now getting fixed and that wasn't a good day .
Speaker 2So now I missed a trip , right , I don't get paid , right , lose money , lose car , got to go back home , got to call insurance companies , got to go get it fixed , got to get rental cars , got to go through all this whole process that you guys know . So it's all a big , big , big bunch of bull crap that you got to go through . And then , uh , as I'm doing this , uh , you know , I , I was having a little bit of problem with my uh balance , a little bit like equilibrium , and and then I I my ear blocked up . Oh , dude I'm like my ear blocked up .
Speaker 1yeah you , you got one thing happening right after another thing right after nothing . Yeah , yeah , Hopefully it's like in threes and it's done for a minute .
Speaker 2So , before I came here , I'm currently sitting here with an ear that is completely blocked on antibiotics . So that's been my week , sean Bottle that shit up , wrap it up and then throw that in one of them damn bottles and throw it in the ocean , cause I don't want to see this shit no more .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's not a good first start . First nine days of the year .
Speaker 2That's , that's , that's the catch up week , man , I mean that's and I got to tell you .
Speaker 1Listen for all of our listeners out there . If you got an ear infection , do not screw around with ear infections . If you're flying man , you get your ass to a doctor , you get some antibiotics , you take time off . You take enough time off to make sure that that is properly cleared , because the one thing you do not want to do as a flight attendant is blow your eardrums out , because we have many friends that have blown their eardrums out . I'm talking , we're on a flight and blood is coming out of their ear . Yep .
Speaker 2And it's a long process .
Speaker 1Yeah , and then you have surgeries and long process to get yourself back into shape , with tubes in your ears and all kinds of stuff . It is not worth it . Do not screw around with your ears .
Speaker 2That's what we always tell you to make sure that you have a 12 hour Sudafed in your bag If you ever travel . And Afrin , afrin , do , yeah , right , but yeah , I mean , it's been a hell of a week , sean man , I feel for you , man , it's going to get better .
Speaker 2The only thing that made it honestly , that made it better , was when I looked at this airline blotters and I'm sitting there looking at this shit and I'm like this has been my life over the last week . It's perfect because all this mixed up bullshit and this happened all this week in the airlines . Right it did Give me some Social media , this one , it was killing me . So a lot of the airlines , you know , some of the big ones , are hiring again .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2So some of the smaller carriers are having little problems . Oh , yeah . So they're hiring and so they go on these social media sites . Well , they had this flight attendant and they were in a conversation and she was texting one of the people that worked for the larger airline and she had said I noticed that a lot of flight attendants from your airline want to interview for the job . I was just wondering why you wanted to leave your airline .
Speaker 1What was the answer ?
Speaker 2This part kills me . This is about social media folks . Her response was well , several of my friends have been applying for your airline and currently I'm with another airline , but we have issues with tardiness and absence and we really would think about leaving before it becomes a bigger issue . And we just seen that you guys were hiring .
Speaker 1So they just want to pass that on to the next airline . Just let's bring over our bad habits to another place . What were you thinking ?
Speaker 2Seriously . I mean , here it is a person that's probably going to interview you and you completely just blew that shit right out of the water . Yeah , how dumb can you possibly be ?
Speaker 1Well , there are a lot of people out there , real dumb .
Speaker 2I mean , I was reading that and I'm like you and the funny thing about it is that you know the follow-up parts of the . There's another person going hey , listen , I really don't know you that well , but you might want to take that off , Right , and she goes , why it's the truth and she goes well
.
Speaker 1Yeah , sometimes some things shouldn't be said , especially when you're trying to get a job . Yeah , tip number one if you want to get hired with an airline , don't tell them about bad past shit .
Speaker 2Especially if you're talking to somebody from the airline that does the hiring .
Speaker 1Right , oh wow , Smart people . Man , you know you can't make this shit up .
Speaker 2Okay , here's another smart person . You're going to love this one . Remember how you had problems with feet .
Speaker 1Yeah , man Don't tell me , this is a foot story .
Speaker 2Well , it's not exactly a foot story , but it's a little bit worse than your feet . What's that ? So a business class pastor was banned from one of the airlines this week . Why ? Is that A life ban . A life ban , life ban . Okay , what ?
Speaker 1did you think he did ? Tried to get in the cockpit ?
Speaker 2No , not at all . Nope . What he did is he stood up over another man that was laying down up in the business class seats and he started peeing on him . What Dude ? I'm going to tell you right now San Francisco to Manila . He pissed on this guy .
Speaker 1The story wasn't man that gets pissed on kills man that pissed on him no .
Speaker 2I mean you're talking about feet . Could you imagine if you're laying there next thing you know somebody's peeing on you .
Speaker 1I'm going to tell you right now there's going to be a lot of people trying to get me .
Speaker 2Keep me from killing this dude okay , here's the other part , the dude I don't care what his problem is you got pissed on it stayed in this clothes until they landed no , no , no you'd be . I'd be in my boxers , wrapped up in a blanket man , even if I didn't have clothes , I'm telling you yeah , that's that's so he's in this kid's in his mid-20s , all right , right . So he's getting arrested in Manila . That's not good , uh-oh .
Speaker 1Now we're talking foreign prisons and foreign Dude . We already had that discussion and that's the first thing that they said .
Speaker 2They said that the way that he's going to be arrested in Manila , yeah , prosecuted here in Manila .
Speaker 1They don't treat him the same way .
Speaker 2Yeah well , yeah , here in manila they said his life's treat him , to treat him the same way . Yeah well , yeah well , you pissed on somebody . It's not a good thing to do . He might be getting pissed on .
Speaker 1Oh my god , he's definitely gonna be pissed off all right , you did this one .
Speaker 2You're gonna , you're gonna love . Remember ? We talked about the , the , the popsicles flying , flying to , uh , hawaii . Oh , don't tell me more . Two , two they found they found two in in in one of the carriers wheel wells . Now we , we , we sat there and said it's difficult to get one person right . How the hell do you get two ?
Speaker 1dude , I have no idea . Like it , the first thing every time we come to one of these stories is is the security part , part of it ? I'm like how does this person get to that part of the you know , get to the aircraft and get into the wheel ? Well , without anybody seeing them and all you know like , where how's this happening ? Like somebody somewhere has got to eventually say , you know , okay , enough's enough . And where are these ? Where's this security breakdown and why is this happening ?
Speaker 2Right , cause you're , you're , we're . Where's the security breakdown ? And why is this happening ? Right , we're getting these stories all the time now , but your wife is a pilot . Right , they do walk arounds .
Speaker 1Yeah , that's part of their walk around . Yeah , part of their walk . So there's a check in the wheel wells .
Speaker 2Okay , so the story gets a little bit better .
Speaker 1Right .
Speaker 2So these guys aren't like this guy that was frozen going Hawaii . No , because he was frozen like a popsicle . Well , these two were already decaying , what Yep ? So now you know . I'm sorry to laugh .
Speaker 1This shit's funny . This shit is funny . Now , these guys have been in here multiple flights and there's been multiple crews and people and nobody's caught . This . That's I mean . Let's , that's I mean . And what's it taken ? Well , like , how long does it take a body to start decomposing ?
Speaker 2But I'm going to get to that . I'm going to get to that in a minute . But you know , this is a part you're going to love too .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2It was on a discount carrier , oh no , come on . Come on dollars and get to see . I'm like pay .
Speaker 1Pay the 39 , whatever it is . Yeah , I mean , it's a lot better than feeling a breeze .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , yeah , no , I don't care so let's go back to the walk around . So one of the checks in the walk around is what ?
Speaker 1check the wheel , wells checking . You know all the open spots , all these guys these guys were flying around .
Speaker 2They figured out that this plane came from Jamaica at one point .
Speaker 1Right .
Speaker 2Flew like multiple legs yeah .
Speaker 1Unbelievable .
Speaker 2Nobody realized that there's two bodies up in the wheelbarrow . Two bodies , and how did it stay up there ? How did it stay ?
Speaker 1Yeah , yeah . I wonder if they like tied themselves in or something like that . I don't know , who knows , I don't know , man , I mean , I just don't . I don't get it . I don't understand why anybody would even think that this is a like plausible way to try to travel . Like you guys listen , you know back in the days , you know jumping on a train , going across country being a hobo .
Speaker 2Well , when it slowed down , yeah , yeah , country being a hobo when it slowed down .
Speaker 1Yeah , yeah , I mean all these things feasible . You can see that , yeah , yeah , yeah , I mean , there's even people you know they jump into , you know a boat ? Yeah , all this stuff , but planes , nope , planes going to kill you .
Well , if you didn't think so seriously listening to these stories , okay , we're three for three , right , three for three , and it's not a good three for three .
Speaker 1No , stop doing it , people . Those people aren't listening to our show anyways , right .
Speaker 2I was sitting there thinking the same thing . If you know anybody that's planning on doing this , tell them to listen to our show and tell them that this last couple podcasts that we are three for three . Right , and it's not a good three for three , and we don't want to be , we do not want to be four for four .
Speaker 1Please pass on the information that this is not the preferred way to travel . I mean , there's so many other different ways to get a- .
Speaker 2Earn 39 freaking dollars and fly inside the plane .
Speaker 1Have you seen ? Listen to this . This just reminds me of something . So these guys are trying to jump a free ride onto a plane and wheel well , but have you seen ? Um , uh , that kid ? Uh , I can't think . It's terran kevin terran , you know I'm talking about . No , so , social media guy kid , he's got a tv show , youtube show , where he actually started off with a penny on one side of the nation and , uh , he , he traveled from the la all the way to , like the Carolinas to deliver a penny to this other dude , mr Beast , his name anyways and every day he had videotaped himself but he was like figuring out ways to make money , so made that penny into more money , into more money , whatever , eventually . I mean , I mean the guy's like doing all kinds of wild things and with a phone he was able to get jobs . You know , do Ubers , do all kinds of stuff . He was buying plane tickets and everything 39 bucks , sean .
Speaker 2Yeah , 39 bucks . You do not have to ride in the wheel .
Speaker 1Well , yeah , this , if this kid can do figure , figured out how to make some few bucks here to buy a plane ticket to get across the nation .
Speaker 2Come on you know , somebody's gonna have to answer for that too . Though shit , I mean you kidding me that decay two decaying bodies in a wheel . Well , somebody's gonna have to answer to that yeah , that's um , that's just stupid all , right now , here's , here's , here's another one coming right at you , man , uh , plane diversion plane diversion yeah diverted .
Speaker 1Well , for what ? What's the diversion ?
Speaker 2for A cat shit .
Speaker 1Hey , listen , we got a cat shit story now .
Speaker 2I'm going to straight out tell you I'm going to straight out tell you Do you remember Lana ? Yeah , Okay . So I used to do work over at Lana's house and , like I said , I'm not a cat person , dog person .
Speaker 1This is a mutual friend of ours . Ex-flight attendant .
Speaker 2Yeah , but I was over there in the basement doing some work on her house and let me tell you about anybody that owns cats . You guys know exactly how bad this is . So I'm doing some work down there and I'm like , what does that smell ? And I'm looking around , looking around and I turn around and there's this cat hunched up into this little litter box taking a crap . And I'm like you , nasty ass . That thing stunk so bad , sean . I mean I had to leave the basement . It was so bad .
Speaker 1Dude . I mean cats can be nasty , but I grew up with cats . I've had cats when I was a kid and stuff . I'm not a cat person personally . Like I like to play with a cat for a minute . That's about it .
Speaker 2But could you imagine ? I mean , you'd have an airline story . Everybody has their story , right when you're flying and they're like hey , I took fluffy and she shit and we'd get diverted .
Speaker 1Yeah , I mean , I had this happen with a dog on one of my flights , but we didn't divert .
Speaker 2I've had a lot of dogs . I had a lady one time took the dog from from row five dog shit all the way from row five all the way up to the , to the um , uh , to the lavatory , sean . When she came back out it stunk , the whole cabin smelled and I'm like , ma'am , your dog just crapped all the way up to the lab and she goes . He didn't do that . I'm like , well , it was either him or you , because it was all the way up to the lavatory . And I'm like , oh my God , so we had to get that throw-up stuff and put it over it and it stunk .
Speaker 1It was so bad . I had a dog that was like in his cage . He had one of those soft side cage dog and he had diarrhea and went all over the cage right . And the cat and the dog was , you know , smart . He's trying to get away from it and he's trying to like wiggle around in this little teeny collapsible cage and he's white , fluffy , right , so half of him's like chocolate and the other half of him's white and we smell it up and like it was up in first class and and I'm like , I'm like , do you smell that ? I mean , we're in the galley , right , we're like two , three rows away and we're like , do you smell ? Like , do you smell shit ?
Speaker 1He's like and nobody went to bath or you know , I went into the lab . So I was like I go in the cabin , I'm like I look around , I look down , I see that dog and that dog's like squirming around . He's got like shit like on his face and you know , like poor , you're feeling for the dog , because the dog's pent up in this little thing and he's trying to get away and it's even bad for him and so , you know , tapped the lady on the shoulder . I'm like I think your dog's in trouble and we proceed to like you're telling me , like cleaning up in aisles . So we take the whole cage and we get her up to the lavatory , she takes his dog out and he's covered .
Speaker 2So now we're like dude , don't tell the dog he's at the dog park .
Speaker 1We put the dog with a small little dog , so we put them in the sink and we're like they're what he ? She said I gave her gloves and we're washing the dog down and she's washing the lab and it is a biggest mess man and unbelievable little Fifi though he was happy because we like put the dog bag , we actually put that in the garbage bag , gave it back to her like wrapped it up , sealed it in double garbage bags and said you know , don't put that dog back in there .
Speaker 2People would be completely shocked at how many times dogs and cats have shit on there .
Speaker 1Oh dude , dogs , cat and people I've had that too , so I got plenty of people's shit stories , but anyways .
Speaker 2All right . How about being struck by lightning ?
Speaker 1Oh yeah , I've had that .
Speaker 2Okay , when that happens , what happens At nighttime , especially in the cabin ?
Speaker 1Huge explosion , bright flash of white light . Everybody's gonna . If you're sleeping , you're gonna be woke . It's like um , I mean it could shake the plane . You know , like depending on where it hits .
Speaker 2It's some crazy ass shit . It's a scary shit , it is yeah I mean it's kind of cool .
Speaker 1Though , too , it's cool that we're still flying it is , but I don't know .
Speaker 2It's kind of cool because the , the , the , the whole cabin just illuminates .
Speaker 1Oh , dude man , it's illuminates and all that stuff . First time was like when I was like I was a couple of year flight attendant , right , I was on seven 27, . Bam , the thing hit . I mean , everything just lit up , plane shook , everything . We get down on the ground . We got like a freaking like cantaloupe size hole in the side . Like we get down on the ground , we got like a freaking like cantaloupe-sized hole in the side Like somebody had shot us .
Speaker 2you know it was . I was like wow , go back to that shit . Smell at that point . You would think there would be a lot of shit happening .
Speaker 1You'd be checking pants Right , everybody's taking , you know . But yeah , and then you know I've been struck at the gates and just sitting on the gate in the plane Like a storm comes over , and you know , as I said , you know shut down the ramp and all this stuff and got boom hit right there in the ramp . You know lightning strikes happen pretty often actually .
Speaker 2I think they're pretty cool . I mean , I know that they are scary and I really don't want them to happen , but when they do and it's just a flash and it illuminates , it's kind of cool .
Speaker 1Yeah , well , when it doesn't hit you and it's just close , that's kind of cool yeah .
Speaker 2When it hits you no . All right , man , we got a Canadian guy on this one .
Speaker 1What's now ? I told you , man , it's like blotters .
Speaker 2Yeah , this is the whole week of blotters Welcome to Kevin Pressure's blotter week .
Speaker 1Yeah , this is the shit happening in airlines .
Speaker 2How many jacked up things can happen in airlines in a week ?
Speaker 1In one week .
Speaker 2Yeah , okay , canadian guy , he was arrested at Miami Airport . Yeah , yeah , okay , canadian guy , he was arrested at Miami Airport .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2Yeah , it caused a disturbance .
Speaker 1Okay .
Speaker 2Yeah , they had to return to the gate . Then he assaulted a TSA officer multiple times , dude Battery on a person over 65 , so you know he's a stud muffin because he's beating up on an old guy , old dude . He's got three counts of battery on a law enforcement officer .
Speaker 1This guy's not having . He's not going to be flying for a while $4,000 bond Wow .
Speaker 2And he faces a decade in prison . $250,000 in fine or both , wow . Well , didn't you have a nice little trip to the airport , yeah ?
Speaker 1and fine or both . Wow , Well , didn't you have a nice little trip to the airport ? Yeah , you're supposed to be like . The purpose of air travel was to get from point A to point B , but not to do any of the shit he did .
Speaker 2Or be on YouTube or the news Don't even .
Speaker 1all that stuff is like it shouldn't even be happening in our environment . I mean so stupid .
Speaker 2All right , gonna love this one . We got a homeland security agent on this one oh , now we get the tsa yeah , homeland security all right , okay , so uh they , they were caught selling drugs oh no , yeah , yeah , man , tsa come .
you know people are , they don't realize how much stuff is confiscated by the TSA . I mean , there's some remember and they don't do this . Have you seen this lately ? Remember when we used to go through early TSA days , like in the beginning , and stuff they had like boxes on the walls , like these , like shadow boxes of all the things that they would find and stuff ? I haven't even seen an airport that does it anymore .
Speaker 2Well , nowadays I mean over in TSA . It's amazing . Even so , you know , TSA has as many cameras as Las Vegas .
Speaker 1Oh dude , every angle you can imagine is there's a camera there watching you .
Speaker 2But you always see and I love a lot of our TSA agents in Cleveland , we've known them for years , known them for years , great people . And Cleveland , we've known them for years , known them for years , great people . But you know , on the news you see those two ding-dongs that are on camera taking money out of people's wallets as they're pushing it through and they're putting it in their pockets and they're acting like they're not being watched .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2How stupid Dude . I mean . It's unbelievable how dumb some of these guys are . Them are not smart dumb . But anyway , so they were , they were , uh , they had seized evidence and they they were selling it and they profited 195 000 well , that's why they were selling it right . So yeah , because I know the tsa is making that type of money right . Well , he ain't making no money now , right , making a lot less in the prison .
Speaker 1I don't know what they pay them per hour now yeah , these opportunistic uh like um , things that happen with people . I mean reminds me of like , uh , this uh story of back in the day when we were doing , uh , we were doing hopping around florida and stuff . Uh , there's a story where uh we , well , this happened , uh , not on my , my flight , but at this one station down in uh , florida where plane pulls in and they used to move a lot of brinks , shipments on uh on the planes . You remember that ? Yeah , I mean , we used to , we used to , we used to have that a lot . I haven't seen that , or even viewed that in years . Isn't that odd ?
Speaker 1it's like it's kind of trendy for us like being , we've been , you know , we've been flying for a while , so we do a lot more cargo , though , now so yeah , but you would think like brinks used to move a lot of stuff on the plane a lot of cash , yep and then all of a sudden , you haven't seen it in years . I mean , I'm just'm just like just right now at this moment , reflecting on that , like I have not seen a Brink shipment , but anyways .
Speaker 2It's because the US doesn't have any damn money .
Speaker 1Hey , we're not going to be political , but go ahead . Oh yeah , we're not doing international flights , they're shipping it to National destinations right . I got you All right .
Speaker 2Sorry , I had to get that in .
Speaker 1That's all right . So , yeah , this plane comes rolling in there , had a Brinks shipment . They pull into the gate and normally , like these Brinks guys would be like watching it . And it just so happened they swapped these planes and put it at the different gates so they had the guards guarding the plane , but it was a plane that didn't have the brinks money on it . And so these badge handlers decide they open up the cargo and they see these like stacks of bills and they're like whoa and they look around and they see the brinks guys over on a different plane and they decide , yeah , this is smart , let's do this .
Speaker 1And so they start putting in the mail bags and threw it in the mailbags and offloaded a bunch of money off the brinks . All of them went over , threw it in , you know , took it down the baggage claim , took the other bad mailbags , took it over to the mail office , tossed them behind this fence , whatever . And then they all were real smart and decided hey , you know what , and there was like three of them , I think , that were all involved with this , and so they just went back and they're like I feel sick , I'm going home , all three of them simultaneously .
Speaker 2Oh yeah , Put a bag tag on . That thing is going to , like you know , Tampa or something .
Speaker 1So then the plane leaves and goes to its final destination where the Brinks guys are there to meet the plane . They open up the plane and there's all this money missing .
Speaker 2Oh , no shit , Because every one of those , every single one of them , they're checked off going on and they're checked off coming off .
Speaker 1And so you know , within I mean within , like I'm talking five , six hours FBIs all over every destination that plane had touched and those guys had already took off and went to some strip clubs .
Speaker 2It wasn't like Captain Obvious right when they were missing all this money and three guys went home early .
Speaker 1Yeah , no no , no , no , no , no . Yeah , this is opportunity . They made it a little bit easy on them . It's kind of like this TSA guy right here . Like you know , he confiscated something , thought he was going to be smart .
Speaker 2You know , there's one more we're going to talk about and then we're going to a quick funny story . I was just sitting there thinking about , as I'm looking at you , All right , Seattle woman , 33 years old . Did you call me funny ?
Speaker 1looking .
Speaker 2You are funny . Hey , you got me laughing today that was good . That was an accomplishment .
Speaker 1That's good .
Speaker 2Me laughing right now is an accomplishment .
Speaker 1But , anyway .
Speaker 2Seattle woman . She was arrested trying to board an aircraft . She passed security and boarded the flight . Here we go again . Right , how the hell do you get past security ? How ?
Speaker 1How .
Speaker 2How do you ?
Speaker 1get on a flight . We need some of these backstories , we need the recap to this or the after-investigation story , because I mean it's just blowing me away of how these are happening .
Speaker 2It's unbelievable . I mean , we've talked about this so many times and the way we board aircrafts and the things that happen on on the uh in boarding how the hell they even got past the security . I mean we , we go through , we go through known crew member or we go through security . We have to be we . We have to be either in line throwing it up on there Somebody's watching us get in your bags . How in the hell do they get by ?
Speaker 1I have no idea , man . I mean cameras and getting by and all this stuff , and then like just the procedures . I've never been with a KC . Have you ever been through a KCM where it's like two crew members walk through at the same time ?
Speaker 2No , I mean like no crew members walk through at the same time . No , I mean like no , they're like one with IDs .
Speaker 1It's just I don't know how this happens , it's just wow .
Speaker 2It does . It blows your mind because it was . I mean , how is it even possible and we've talked about it so many times in the last how many weeks and this has happened ? That's why I said this this week has been like airline blotters on cabin pressure .
Speaker 1Yeah , I mean the two big thing that stands out with me with the security thing is like okay , all the wheel , well , travelers and people bypassing security , Like the lady going through KCM and getting on the plane and getting on to the you know how , I don't know man .
Speaker 2You know how ? I don't know , man . But hey , listen , before we get to our destination . I was sitting there thinking . When we were talking , just a funny story came to my head . Do you remember when me and you flew to Nebraska the first time ?
Speaker 1Oh , hell yeah .
Speaker 2Hell yeah , this is a story right
here . Sean went to .
Speaker 1Sean went to school in nebraska yeah , I went to uno university of braska in omaha and uh , like this is uh , uh , fairly early in our friendship and we , uh and me and my boy here , we went to , uh , I said you know what , I want to show him a good time because I know this town inside and out right at this moment , because it had just been a year or two since I'd left .
Speaker 2And we were really young too .
Speaker 1Yeah , I mean , we were young , young and you know in Omaha and we used to do some crazy ass shit . Listen , that's a destination to talk about . We got to talk about Omaha sometime , but there's a lot of stuff to cool stuff to do and then , but anyways , so I , uh , we go out with the .
Speaker 2I decided to take these guys out in town . All right , go ahead and tell the story , all right . So we , we go out and and , uh , as we're going out , we're sitting there talking about where we're gonna go . Sean was like , oh , I gotta take you this place . They got 130 beers 130 beers . He's like I gotta take you there . I'm like , okay , first of all , I don't hardly even drink , but I'm like , yeah , that's fine , we'll go ahead and go . So we go into this place and Sean's all puffed up . He's like , oh , I'm going to have this Grolson , whatever , I don't know what the hell it is .
Speaker 2He had some Grolsh . It's some kind of shit in some jar with a plug on it and I'm like I don't even know what the hell it was . But he said there and he looked at me , he's like gee , what kind of beer you want ? And I said I want Corona . What you can't have , corona , what do you mean ? Corona ? I was like I'm sitting in this bar and here it is . He's screaming at the top of his lungs you come to a bar that's got you asked for a damn Corona .
Speaker 1And I said I want one with lime . It's like walking into a bar . You walk into a bar , you're walking into a buffet of beers and you're thinking , hey , this is a good time or opportunity to experiment and broaden your horizons . Like , check out and give me a type of beer that you like . We'll give you something that's you know , you've never had before . No , what kind of beer did I get ?
Speaker 2Yeah , you got a Corona . Yeah , I don't give into peer pressure . So I got my damn Corona , man , so yeah , but I had to hear about it the whole time that he was drinking that shit and it looked like mud that he was drinking . But anyway , so we go running around , go to a couple clubs , and then Sean was like hey , gee , we got to go over to this one place and as we're walking over there , this young brother was outside and he comes up there and he's like hey man , what you doing , right , right . And he looked at me and he said hey , man , you got a light ? I said no , I ain't got no light . No , he said you got to smoke . Oh , you got to smoke , you got to smoke . He goes , you got to smoke . I said no , I got no smoke . He said damn , you ain't nothing but a haircut .
Speaker 1And we all looked at him like wait a minute , wait , wait , wait . You ain't nothing but a haircut . All right , what the hell does that mean ?
Speaker 2Now let me tell you something . For all these years that me and him have been friends , all he says is you ain't nothing but a haircut . That's right , he still brings that up today .
Speaker 1Every birthday I got to remind him .
Speaker 2And then we weren't done there . I'll tell you one more . We went to this little . We had to go to the strip club .
Speaker 1Yeah , we went to the strip club . We went to clubs all night long . Let me tell you , like Omaha , at that time we can go , there was after-hour clubs . I mean literally I think . I don't think we , like started walking back to the hotel . It was like 6 am , 6 , 7 am in the morning .
Speaker 2Yeah , we had a long way .
Speaker 1It was a long .
Speaker 2We did . We had a long one , but that hey you didn't say the part with the stripper no . Hey , you didn't say the part with the stripper no .
Speaker 1I'm going to let you elaborate .
Speaker 2So we're sitting there and all these girls are coming over and they're trying to get money from me and Sean and I are like I'm not giving no money , yeah , and we're not being cheap , we're just not going to .
Speaker 1No , I mean anybody that's ever been to a strip club , you know what's the game . The game is for them to try to get your money Right . So I mean we're not just going to give the money away , like what are you going to do for the money ?
Speaker 2Right , I'm going to go get my Corona .
Speaker 1Right . So he , gary's getting grown . We're like , hey , so this gal comes over to us and she's like you know , uh , you know what ? What can I do to get you guys to give me some money ? And I'm like I don't know what , what can , can you do ?
Speaker 2Sean goes , if you impress us , we will give you some money .
Speaker 1Right . And so what she did ? She takes the right leg and she flips it up . Now she's sitting on the chair in front of us , Yep , and she takes that right leg and she flips that right leg up behind her back of her neck . And then she takes the left leg and flips that leg up behind the back of her neck and it started moving . And now she starts gyrating in this chair . I don't know how she doesn't fall off the damn chair and she's gyrating around and she's like , is this good ?
Speaker 2enough , Sean goes . Where do you want us to put the money ?
Speaker 1It was only a dollar , oh my God . But I think at that point she had earned a dollar . I mean , I'd never seen anybody in my life flip both their legs behind their head .
Speaker 2I had to tell Nebraska man that was such a funny story .
Speaker 1That whole night was just a memorable crazy night , and you ain't nothing but a haircut .
Speaker 1Yeah , you still are nothing but a haircut . All right , what's her destination ? Destination ? Man , we're going to talk about Seattle this week . Seattle , washington , dude . Seattle is a cool destination on the West Coast that just has so much to offer . I mean , you got Pike's Market , you got the downtown city , the whole vibe of the place . It's got that really cool West Coast northern vibe , beautiful , super beautiful , yep . And if you get lucky to catch it on a non-rainy day like I mean , it's you gotta be damn lucky .
Speaker 1Yeah , because it's green yeah , it is super green up there and it is very wet , spongy , but uh , they have so many
things to offer . I mean seattle , as you know , they have all the professional teams . They got that inner harbor there . They got the pikes fish market super famous , throwing the fish around in the market there . You got that inner harbor there . They got the pikes fish market super famous , throwing the fish around in the market there . You got to go down there . One of my favorite things to do in pikes market is , like I used to um , uh , they always sell dried flowers there and these dried flies you can get a . You're gonna be at a bunch of dry flies like I think it was like 30 bucks and you get this bushel of dry flyers . You'd bring this home , man , they last for years . I mean , it was just it , just a cool , cool kind of like seattle gift , you know . And then you know the first starbucks there and all that stuff .
Speaker 2Um , yeah , I think we've been at that same damn hotel for freaking years , haven't ?
Speaker 1we yeah , I mean we don't bounce around and hold too many hotels there , like we pretty much stay at those different , the same , pretty much same hotels in seattle . But you know there's another cool thing . I one time , like I'm a I'm a big photographer . So one time I got in a layover I decided I'm going to rent a car , so I took the whole day , asked the crew hey , you want to go with me ? I'm going to kick it around and go sightseeing around Seattle . Nobody wanted to go , I was by myself .
Speaker 1So I'm kicking around Seattle and I go , driving around and I find this place up on Capitol Hill and , believe it or not , it is like one of the number one places to photograph Seattle and Seattle just has this huge hill that just goes right upside down inside the city there and at sunset you're going to see there's going to be hundreds of people up in this park and it's overlooking this Seattle and everybody with cameras trying to take pictures of Seattle and the whole . You know you'll see Mount Rainier off in the distance . But that night I had , I had a low moon in the sky , it was a perfect , you know , golden evening and it was just magical man . But I got some of the best pictures of Seattle . I mean just the iconic city skyline there with the Space Needle and everything Just wow .
Speaker 1But we got to talk food Food in Seattle there's everything to offer you can imagine . But one of my favorite that I have got to go to every time I go there because this is one of my favorite restaurants in the world is a restaurant called Den Tai Fung . I didn't say bing bang bong , I said Den Tai Fung .
Speaker 2And for everybody that knows , you said it three times fast .
Speaker 1Yeah , den tai fong , den tai fong , den tai fong . And I'm going to tell you everybody that knows this place , gee , listen , number one Asian dumpling house in all of Asia . I'm talking about when you go abroad and you see this restaurant and this name , it's like it's the , it's the shit , right , like everywhere . If you get a chance to everyone , if you like , you like like dumplings , like gyoza , stuff like that , so this place , you go there and we there's um , I think right now and I don't I have to look this up , but uh , I know of for sure that there's one in San Jose , California , there's one in Seattle , there's one , there's two in LA , and if you get anywhere close to this , you walk into this place , you'll see an army of these Asian people sitting around in white coats , all sitting in this thing and a big , huge glass box , and they're sitting there rolling and making dumplings by hand , and these are the things that you're going to be eating , like they're going to be boom , boom , boom . Make them right there , steam them up . I mean , you can't get any fresher . It is unbelievable .
Speaker 1Amazing Din Tai Fung . It's right downtown Seattle .
Speaker 2Reminds me of , like Cooperstown , fookin' Chinese , fookin' Chinese . They had a restaurant there . It was called Fookin Chinese . Could you imagine being a kid ? Where do you want to go , mom , I'm going to go to some Fookin Chinese .
Speaker 1Yeah , I found this restaurant with another flight attendant . I would give a little shout out to Elaine . You know , if you know Elaine , you know Elaine , oh yeah , but anyways , and you know , we found this restaurant at the same time on a layover and it was out in California , and I have never stopped going back . I mean , anytime I can get even close to that , I will be at that restaurant number one .
