From Steroids Tooth Baby to Flight Attendant: Kayla's Journey

What happens when you combine a horror movie enthusiast who hates being scared, a dog who prefers the human who stays home, and a dating app request that leaves everyone speechless? You get this delightfully candid conversation with flight attendant Kayla.

From the moment she introduces herself as being "born with a tooth" (earning her the nickname "the unborn" from her father), Kayla's refreshing honesty and humor shine through. She takes us through her journey from playing volleyball as an unusually tall child (thanks to those prenatal steroids) to navigating the skies as a flight attendant who initially dreamed of glamorous international flights but now prefers the simplicity of domestic routes.

The hosts and Kayla share laughs about the stark differences between polished international crews and their more casual domestic counterparts, with Emirates flight attendants making everyone else "feel like the ant on the floor." Her first experience flying to Shanghai reveals the unexpected pressures of international service, while her stories about passengers requesting Diet Cokes during severe turbulence highlight the everyday challenges of airline life.

Perhaps most memorable is the dating app discussion, where Kayla shares an inappropriate request that leaves Shawn visibly shocked—a perfect illustration of how modern dating differs from the days when you had to "walk across the dance floor and ask someone to dance." Throughout it all, her warmth and authenticity make you feel like you're sitting in the galley with the crew, sharing stories between flights.

The episode closes with thoughtful reflections on the importance of civil discourse and a powerful reminder: "Never stop being a good person because of bad people." Whether you're a frequent flyer or have never set foot on a plane, this conversation offers a window into the humor, challenges, and humanity that exists at 30,000 feet.

You talking about the guys working in your backyard. No, no, he's got a shitload of guys working in the backyard. Remember he talked about in the podcast that he was having this deck put on. He's got this massive-ass deck getting put on the back of his house. I came here last week. He had his old one back there, now new one. It's all framed up and ready to go. These guys were knocking that shit out.

Speaker 1 1:39

Dude, they have been continuous and they're so quick. It's crazy, quick, crazy. I literally went golfing. So the other day, when they first started, I went golfing. I was like they were literally like we're here to do the deck and all that stuff. They demoed the deck and it already started framing the deck within four hours.

Speaker 2 2:03

It was unbelievable. It's amazing when you know what you're doing, right yeah.

Speaker 1 2:06

When you know what you're doing, it is like it, things roll, things roll. But uh, man, I've been so damn busy. I got project after project but it's a project going on and uh, the wife is like going nuts and she's like starting to stress out about it. But she just got done with training. She had to go sim dude, I'm gonna tell you right now, let me, let me tell everybody out there pilots are the worst when they have to go to training, the worst. I'm telling you, I'm not, I'm not, I don't care if you're male or you're female, like us, going to training is like flight attendants and stuff. We get nervous and all that stuff right, every the recurrent, once a year type of you know what is it every 18 months now for?

Speaker 1 2:48

us so, um, but the pilots have to do it like every nine months.

Speaker 1 2:53

Okay, so every nine months they got to do this training, and so by like the six and a half months, my wife goes on like a quadruple pms stage she's locked up the room I just like started like I know what's coming, I knew this happening and I just like that's what's been happening with me, like I've been like literally like tiptoeing around just trying to like get through this right. But the second, like she calls me and she's like I passed. She's like I don't care what we do, we can do anything, whatever you want to do, like she's so happy you became the greatest thing in the world great, like all of a sudden I'm good, looking again, she wants to look at me and talk to me.

Speaker 2 3:40

I remember that because, because last week it was like you were supposed to pick me up. You're supposed to take me now, now, now, look what you did you screwed it all up. You were seeing that, you were seeing the stress of the whole situation, and so that's what my um, that's what's been going on with me but, in all fairness, okay, these guys, when they go through this sim, you guys they put them in this simulator and they throw everything at them. I mean the book so check this out.

Speaker 1 4:02

Like we were talking about this. Uh, g and I were like you know she g didn't know like the schedule. Like we're used to flight attendants, you know we go to class and it's kind of like a nine to five type of thing. You know you go there and you do the training right. Her first sim she had to be at the simulator at 3 am.

Speaker 1 4:20

Carol okay, 3 am and you know she's a great morning morning person. Oh yeah, and then she had to brief until five. The sim starts at five and then she's in the sim for another two and a half hours and then when she got there. Guess what happened? She was solo no way no other pilot, so now she's got to fly with one of the training instructors, right, yeah, get the stress I mean a little bit more pressure, can you?

Speaker 1 4:51

imagine, like us, where we had, okay, we got to do our evacs and all that stuff. No, you got to do it with the instructor yeah, the whole time.

Speaker 2 4:57

Yeah, shit be like damn right, right, right so I want to go home. The stress right, right, right anyways.

Speaker 1 5:03

So that's what's been going on with me, what's been going on with you, g.

Speaker 2 5:07

Okay, so the flying this week, the last week, has been kind of crazy, right, it's been a lot lighter. It's that time of year that the loads are kind of light.

Speaker 1 5:15

Yeah.

Meet Kayla, Flight Attendant

Speaker 2 5:16

So the flying's been actually pretty easy. I mean so that part it was pretty good. So end up going to remember that. Blue heron, I told you about that band, the area where the bands. Oh yeah, that's right down the street yeah, so we go over there again on friday night and uh to listen to this, this band, and uh didn't know what the didn't know anything about them. They were called ladies night, so you sat there sounds good.

Speaker 2 5:43

I thought it was gonna be I mean usually the bands over there are pretty good, right. So went up there, got something to eat, was going down to the seats right down front, was listening to these guys and all of a sudden they're warming up. I'm like, okay, they sound pretty good. And then they started throwing on these real bright pink jackets.

Speaker 1 6:00

Okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 6:01

I mean, they looked like we're used to pink. Do you remember the way? Do you remember the wedding singer? Yeah, oh yeah. Do you remember that guy with um that started singing culture club? The culture club yeah common chameleon, so um, so, anyway, they the lead singer had one of them bandanas wrapped around his head, and then he had his long black hair and I'm thinking, okay, this, this would be interesting right still remember I haven't heard of this band Sure.

Speaker 2 6:27

And then they started warming up and then they opened up with Britney Spears. Britney Spears, baby baby, oh, baby, baby. Yeah, my mouth was open, sean, I'm like I turned around.

Speaker 1 6:43

I'm like, is he singing Britney? He brushed out Baby Baby on stage.

Speaker 2 6:46

No, my mouth is still open. I'm sitting there going are you serious? This dude is singing Britney Spears. So I'm like, okay, maybe it was just like something he does, right? Yeah, this is the warm-up, yeah, the warm-up. I'm thinking, okay, let's get to the next song. I'm thinking George Michael, something, father figure, whatever it is. Nope, what is it? Lady Gaga, I'm like you got to be shitting me.

Speaker 1 7:13

I'm like are you kidding me, Dude. I'm going to tell you right now I'm already exiting the building, Okay.

Speaker 2 7:22

So I'm sitting there and this is my response. Right? If this man sings one more britney songs, my ass is in the car. Yeah, I'm in the car. I'm walking out of this place. There's no way I am watching this guy flip his hair around like beyonce and and and sing one more, prancing around one more britney song you know I don't care I don't get me wrong, be you, but do what you do right, I just don't have to pay to see you.

Speaker 2 7:49

So the next song was Britney, that's it. The only way Sean and I were staying there is that if he would have broke out with Cher if I can turn back time, because my ass should have had my time back for 25 minutes- no, it was probably raining men. No, you would have ruined it. You would have ruined it for me. I like the weather girls, but no, okay, in all fairness. Right, I did not know. I went as soon as I got my car. Here it is. I got it on my phone.

Speaker 1 8:27

Speaker 3 12:46

I'm from lorraine okay I'm born and raised here. Um, I think when I started my career as a flight attendant, I went to san francisco because I never went to the west coast. Interesting, I love. I like it for visiting, not for staying yeah permanently. So I came home, got a part of my life.

Speaker 1 13:05

West Coast is a different vibe.

Speaker 3 13:07

Oh, definitely for sure. Fun, but just for visiting. That's being nice.

Speaker 1 13:12

No, no, no, I myself. You don't know me. So I grew up as a military brat and I grew up in the Bay Area.

Speaker 3 13:19

So. San.

Speaker 1 13:20

Francisco, san Jose, all the hills, the foothills there. Santa Cruz, san Jose, all the hills, the foothills there. Santa Cruz, felton, all these different small towns. So I know the vibe, believe me. I mean, I have family out there too, my mom's in LA. I got a cousin out in Alameda.

Speaker 3 13:33

Oh wow, so I'm around, I know places I get places, I do things.

Speaker 1 13:39

Speaker 2 13:55

My mouth is open again two times. I'm sitting here going really listen.

Speaker 3 14:00

As you know, I can switch up real fast, so I could be on your side, I could be on his side.

Speaker 1 14:05

I'm telling you, here's the thing it's so much fun when we could just subliminally or whatever on the side, just beat down on G.

Speaker 3 14:14

It's cool, it's fun.

Speaker 1 14:16

You're enjoying it like me.

Speaker 2 14:18

That's okay, I'm a big boy, I can handle it.

Speaker 1 14:20

You are. Anyways, we hear you were born with a tooth. That is a true statement and and it's a family legend behind. What's the family legend behind that?

Speaker 3 14:35

okay, so I so okay, my, I was trying to be born early, I guess, with my mom only being six months pregnant.

Speaker 2 14:47

Okay, Wow Six months.

Speaker 3 14:49

Yeah, lungs weren't fully developed so they had her be on bed rest the rest of the time and shoot her leg up with steroids. So I guess it overdeveloped me a little bit. And so my dad said I came out, I cried and he was like what the hell is that? It was the tooth.

Speaker 1 15:06

And he called me the unborn. The unborn. Yes, oh my God.

Speaker 3 15:10

You've got to have tough skin in my family.

Speaker 2 15:13

Okay, let's get to that, Because could you imagine that mom being in the hospital, are you going to breastfeed? Did you see that tooth Right?

Speaker 3 15:21

Hell, no, did you see that tooth Right Hell. No, did you see what the hell came out of me? That's like my kid's a piranha. Yes, and I was really tall too. So someone actually saw a picture of me when I was like three, and they were like you looked like you could have walked out of your mom.

Speaker 2 15:33

I was like, oh my God, super long. She's like brushing her teeth at six months.

Speaker 1 15:38

Tooth, I know To.

Speaker 3 15:39

One, Just one. I know that I'm just it was funny. You know what, though? Because of that, I had like a mouth of a 12-year-old when I was 10, and they had to pull three teeth. I had to go through a process.

Speaker 1 15:52

Oh yeah, With braces and everything.

Speaker 3 15:54

So that was.

Speaker 1 15:55

You have beautiful teeth now.

Speaker 3 15:56

Well, thank you, my mom would be so proud. There you go.

Speaker 1 16:02

I never, asked.

Speaker 2 16:03

I never asked, I just knew it was one. You got one crazy-ass tooth just popped out.

Speaker 3 16:08

Yeah, my friend just had a baby and said you know, like only one in 200 babies are born with a tooth, I said I guess I'm special.

Speaker 2 16:16

Sean's special too, Right.

Speaker 1 16:21

Had to get my own dig in All right. We're going to talk about Dixie.

Speaker 3 16:28

Oh, my girl.

Speaker 1 16:30

Who's Dixie?

Speaker 3 16:31

My child.

Speaker 1 16:32

Your child.

Speaker 3 16:33

My child.

Speaker 1 16:33

Yeah.

Speaker 3 16:34

Yeah, she's an 11-year-old rescue dog from rescued her from Nashville, but we still don't know what she's mixed with. Yeah, they said that she was a German Shepherd mix, but the only thing German Shepherd about her is her coloring.

Speaker 1 16:49

She doesn't have those features of a German Shepherd.

Speaker 3 16:51

She does, but her body's really short.

Speaker 1 16:54

Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 16:54

And she has small paws. She kind of looks like a little bit of a boxer mix and my cousin has her sister and they don't even look alike.

Speaker 1 17:03

Right.

Speaker 3 17:03

So I'm like you know, I'm just going to who cares? She's my sweet cheap angel.

Speaker 1 17:08

Right, we got her for 50 bucks. Yeah, yeah, so so the the dog how do you deal with that as a flight attendant?

Speaker 3 17:18

So actually my oldest sister helped me out with her. So that had me stressed out a lot because, like, unfortunately my parents aren't here anymore, because I would just, you know, put her with them and they would watch her or whatever, Right? So my oldest sister helped me when I had my apartment. I would just drive, Like if they called me middle of the night, I just she lived like 15 minutes from me drive to her house, put in her garage code, put my dog in the house, be like thanks, and I'd go on my trip, Wow, and then I'd pick her up afterwards. But now, honestly, I moved in to try to save for my own house and it's just been nice because me and my dog are both there.

Speaker 1 17:52

Okay, cool, so you're back at home now.

Speaker 3 17:55

Yeah, I'm with my sister.

Speaker 2 17:57

Yep, so how to Dixie?

Speaker 3 17:59

She's 11. She'll be 12 in February, oh sweet.

Speaker 1 18:04

So is Dixie mellow.

Speaker 3 18:06

She is and she isn't. I'll tell you she's a protector. If you try to walk up and she don't know you, she's a lover. But if you act like you're going to go after somebody, oh, she's on her shit.

Horror Movies and Cedar Point

Speaker 1 18:18

Yeah, she's with you. She got your back.

Speaker 2 18:20

Dogs are the best thing to come home to right.

Speaker 3 18:22

Oh, for sure, yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 18:24

I can't tell you. I mean a little Gemma, my little Yorkie, best thing to come home to.

Speaker 3 18:30

I know she loves me, but I will say my dog is probably her favorite person is my sister, even though she's at home with her all day. I'll come home and be like oh, oh, she'll wag her tail. She sees my sister.

Speaker 1 18:40

She completely goes around me like damn, I'm just chopped your dog, but she's like um, you're not, you're not around enough exactly that's.

Speaker 3 18:49

I think she gets mad at me yeah attitude that's the same thing with my wife.

Speaker 2 18:53

Walks in the door too. I mean jemma goes straight to her. I mean she is like you don't exist anymore yeah, exactly, I'm the spirit human sway there.

Speaker 1 19:02

Yep, you're the other pac-man I'm the reason why you came, but now, uh, you're pulling me off, and this person is always here.

Speaker 3 19:09

Yeah, the one that feeds me, get out of here yeah, the one that feeds me exactly so uh, here you're in the horror movies love them. Love horror movies, but I have to watch it in my fingers yeah, so so walk it.

Speaker 1 19:23

So so walk us through a like a viewing ritual if you're gonna like.

Speaker 3 19:27

Okay, so prep yourself for a horror movie I actually I gotta get myself ready for that new um conjuring movie. Oh, yeah and so those. Just it really scared me, like I like the adrenaline of being scared, but I don't actually like to be scared in real life, so I have to sit there that makes sense, right right.

Speaker 1 19:43

Who wants to?

Speaker 3 19:44

like a demonic presence, like in their real life situation.

Speaker 1 19:47

No, I don't want to see it in real life because I'd be shit my pants too. I'm telling you right now I'll stand up to a lot of stuff, but you see, your head starts spinning around and shit and you're like you know no the problem is is like I have to do that for other people because I scream. Oh, okay, and so I?

Speaker 3 20:04

there was one time I did not cover my eyes and I was like I was kind of holding the seat Like I gotta keep my eyes open. Gotta keep my eyes open. I know what's going to happen. I know something's going to jump scare me and I screamed and my friend was like you're embarrassing, so I was like. You know I'm Lessons in impact.

Speaker 3 20:31

Hey, you know, if you shut up, you'd hear. I'm like, oh sorry.

Speaker 1 20:36

That reminds me of that insurance commercial, of all the people you know, the people that go into the whatever horror horror movie and like, oh, we'll hide over here, and they hide in the shed with all the like killing tools and shit, exactly.

Speaker 3 20:48

Why don't we just get them running cars?

Speaker 1 20:50

Speaker 1 21:00

Um, I have a thing about scary movies Like I will watch them, but I have to be in that mood to watch them. You know, because I got this long history of like scary movies and my parents will, my whole family will tell you like there was in California. Okay, there was this show called Creature Features. Have you guys ever heard of that? Yeah, so like every like every weekend there was this the Creature Features. Or have you heard of Elvira?

But as a, as a kid, like I'd be, like, leaning into it, like I'm, I'm, do it like I'm, I'm like just keeps leaning, leaning, leaning, like, and then my family would watch me right, and they're watching, and as I get deeper and deeper into it, then all those motherfuckers would line up behind the couch and be like, and I'd start crying. I'm like, don't do that to me. If I could cuss in, I would, but my dad would beat my ass for sure.

West side story was one of my favorites growing up too, like you know, like I'm. I'm dancing around the house. You know, when you're a jack, you're a jet all the way from your life to the breath to the you know, like I was in it, man, like I was, I was into that and like all those musicals, I was totally into it yeah, absolutely singing in the rain was my absolute.

Speaker 3 28:44

Oh my god, that was the bomb. Yes, I watched that with my best friend because she's in the musicals too, and she was showing me the scene where they took um well, what was her name? Debbie um I want to say deborah reynolds.

Speaker 1 28:58

But it's not debbie reynolds, it's some.

Speaker 3 29:00

It was uh, carrie, fisher's mom, yeah, and she was showing me the scene where the one dude I can't remember his name like he did it all in one take, where he was flipping off the walls and oh yeah dance break and I was like, are you serious? Like yeah, rewatch it.

Speaker 1 29:12

Like that's make him laugh, right, yeah, make him laugh. Yeah, I didn't watch that enough like, but yeah, I was in the musical musicals. I really liked musicals. This is a funny story Because a friend of mine's daughter In high school I did some plays and stuff. So then I lettered and I became a thespian what?

Speaker 3 29:34

does that mean? You're doing exactly what she said what's that mean?

Speaker 2 29:39

I was like a thespian, I was like she was backing away Excuse me, I didn't that mean like a thespian, like uh, she's back in a way.

Speaker 3 29:44

Uh, excuse me, I didn't sign up for a thespian yeah, yeah, you guys should have seen my face, because I was like huh, I'm backing up, so that's my friend's daughter.

Speaker 1 29:52

He, she was literally listening to me and she's a little girl and we're talking and I'm telling her about my experiences as plays and acting and all this stuff and when I was a thespian and all this stuff. Thespian is the technical name for an actor, being an actor.

Speaker 3 30:08

Oh, okay, thespian. Well, now I know I feel real cultured now. Now she's back in the game. That word threw me off a little bit.

Speaker 2 30:17

She's like pushing back. Wait a minute.

Speaker 3 30:25

I've got to find out what a thespian before I'm saying, right, I'm about ready to leave.

Speaker 1 30:28

I'm over here, like I have lesbian friends, right, right, right. Is that something related to that? Like, okay, yeah, I'm okay with lesbians but it is what it is, but anyways, but it was funny because, like this little girl was like I kept talking and then, as just like you did, she literally looked at me and she was like mr sean, can you please stop saying that you know it's embarrassing, though I'm a grown woman.

Speaker 3 30:48

I'm a grown woman and I don't know what it's all good. It's all good I was like I don't know that word this is we learn every day something new right. I'm always open to learning you gotta got to laugh too. Exactly right.

Speaker 2 31:03

Speaker 3 31:09

And I'm such an honest person that I'm going to tell you if I don't know something.

Speaker 2 31:12

Yeah, me too, like you said something way.

Speaker 3 31:24

yeah, exactly right, go ahead, sean. That's volleyball.

Speaker 3 31:46

Sean's a thespian we'll be in the aisle they won't know it either, sean, that's okay.

Speaker 1 31:51

First of all, the people that know they're not gonna be laughing the ones that won't like us, that's what they're saying.

Speaker 2 31:59

Well, two out of three didn't know, so we can sit there and go. They don't know either Exactly.

Speaker 3 32:04

You know, the people who do know are the people that come with their instruments as big as their body.

Speaker 1 32:08

Exactly Boom. That's as good as they know. There you go.

Speaker 2 32:11

It's all good. You gave us some mileage on that one.

Speaker 1 32:14

Go with it. I know we did.

Speaker 2 32:15

We had a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 32:16

Anyways, kayla, volleyball, fourth ball, fourth grade, yes, and I was really large, they had asked. So okay, well, remember, we already know tooth big baby, oh yeah, oh, yeah, for sure, yeah, exactly, okay.

Speaker 3 32:31

Well, I played in cyo. Do you guys know what that is? Cyo no yeah, it's christian youth organization okay so I had to attend, because I didn't go to a catholic school. I had to attend PSR classes every Monday from 6 to 8. And I was again, as you know, really steroids tooth baby.

Speaker 1 32:49

You're okay, You're being. You Steroids tooth baby.

Speaker 3 32:55

It's like an Arnold Schwarzenegger baby.

Speaker 2 33:00

Give her a volleyball. I should have came out talking.

Speaker 3 33:06

They used to like yell on the court to be like check her birth certificate because I was so much bigger but I was the youngest out of all of them right so the, the reps and stuff would look at it and be like no, like she's actually younger than your kids, so like you guys need to chill out, yeah, and like these are these parents on the stands? Like she's too big to play in this league. Like she's too large, you know, I'm this little girl. It's like what's going on?

Speaker 3 33:27

right, but yeah, since fourth grade I played. I still play. Now it's uh, my body's a lot more sore now that I've turned a certain age, right, um, but I like to play recreationally right now. I guess there is an adult JO league which is junior olympic volleyball and I played that for years.

Speaker 3 33:51

But I just found out there's an adult league for it and I played in it one time because they asked me to sub. When I tell you like these people kicked our asses, I was like, oh, like I need to get it back together they were coming for real right.

Speaker 1 34:02

Yes, I was still good, but like they need to get it back together.

Speaker 3 34:03

They were coming for real right. Yes, I was still good, but they were kicking our ass.

Speaker 1 34:05

Usually when you get to that level. Some of those people played in collegiate level and professional sometimes or semi-professional right, yes, yeah.

Speaker 3 34:17

They actually we played. So when I was in college we went to Barbados and we played their national team okay, when we were down there kicked our asses, yeah, and but it was just for fun right it was like my coach wanted to kind of like um, what is expose us to that and everything. So we could try to get better for our upcoming season. But it was fun, it was a great experience we would try to get better for our upcoming season.

Speaker 3 34:42

But it was fun. It was a great experience. We would go to practice, we'd play them in the afternoon for a couple days and then, I think, the last four days we were there we just chilled. It was more of a vacation than it was actually playing them.

Speaker 1 34:54

When you said that league, I can only imagine relate to it in in a baseball sense. I played baseball and we did like that whole type of yeah, I did too yeah and uh, and you know there's some minor league baseball players in there, like people that have been like, or college players, and yeah, I I was strictly recreational, so you know there was. I get it when you say there were people bringing it.

Speaker 3 35:19

Oh for sure, right that's where you got scouted was junior olympic volleyball usually so, so you could get scouted during the school year, which was great. But when you played that JO in the offseason, that's where a lot more college coaches would come and they would start to scout you to recruit you to play for, you know, d1, z2, d3s and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 35:39

Yeah, cool. So I hear that you like to work with people with disabilities.

Speaker 3 35:46

I do. It is my oldest sister that she actually is a principal at a school for kids with developmental disabilities and she got me into it. So I think I started working with them around 22 maybe Cool, and I'm 30. So I've been with them for a very long time. I commend you, I love it. Oh, thank you, I'm gonna tell you right now like uh.

Speaker 1 36:08

So I was a physical education major when I first round of college okay back in the day and we had to do some disability. You know things with kids and stuff like that and you know it wasn't for, yeah, like it takes that special person to be able to do that.

Dating Apps and Unexpected Requests

Speaker 1 36:26

Oh, thank you and I honestly think that, like I commend all people that are able to have the patience to be able to do that and work with those people, oh, it definitely gave me a lot of patience and when I first started this job, I actually I had to go in the cockpit.

Speaker 3 36:40

I think it was during my IOE. Yeah, One of the pilots was like, oh, what did you do before? And I was like, oh, I worked with people like full time with developmental disabilities. He was like, oh, so it's basically the same.

Speaker 1 36:52

And I was like oh okay, so now you're used to working with pilots?

Speaker 2 36:55

Yeah, exactly, and crazy ass flight attendants yeah, exactly, but he was talking about the passengers and I was like dude

Speaker 3 37:03

yeah and I started dying, he was like, I mean, it's real yeah, it's real can't you know that?

Speaker 1 37:12

so what made you jump into aviation?

Speaker 3 37:17

it's gonna sound so cliche, but it's always been like one of my dreams to do it, especially after it didn't work out like my college path and because I think I was going for radiology technician and then my mom died, so that it was really really hard for me and it's sorry to hear that.

Speaker 3 37:34

No, it's OK, I appreciate it. So I guess it was really hard for me to try to figure out what I wanted to do. And then someone mentioned that and I was like, oh, that's what I want to do, and I had to, like, get the. What is it? The experience that they needed, because when. I tell you I have. When I interviewed before I was embarrassed by it, having the son did it and I was like, oh, they're not hiring me, you already knew it Exactly.

Speaker 3 37:59

So I so, you know, it took some years, but I finally gained the experience that they needed and I was like oh okay, like, this is my dream job, this is my end game. It's not as good. I love it, don't get me wrong. Not as glamorous as I thought, but I will never like not want to do this job. You know what I mean. Oh, no, so you know it. Kind of like I was like listen, this is my end game of this job.

Speaker 2 38:22

It's a little different than what you thought, right originally. Oh, for sure, yeah, I mean everybody that comes in here. Originally they'll think that this is this big, glamorous job. And then reality hits.

Speaker 3 38:35

And then I'm in Columbus, Ohio, looking at the top of a roof of the hotel.

Speaker 2 38:39

There's so many things about this job that people don't understand, right? Yes, and I was one of them, and that hit me hard in reality and I was like, oh, this is basically literally a job, it's so funny, you know, when you first start Because we talked about that a lot when we first started You're ready to go out there, you're ready to crush it right, you make a big difference, and then you step on an airplane, all the. You step on an airplane, all the shit changes, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 39:03

Mm-hmm, that first moment, right when you step on that airplane.

Speaker 3 39:06

My first trip was back to Ohio. Back to Ohio yeah, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 39:10

I was in San.

Speaker 3 39:11

Francisco and I was like, ooh, where am I going to go?

Speaker 2 39:13

Exactly, I went back to Columbus?

Speaker 1 39:14

Yeah, no, I went to Columbus.

Speaker 3 39:16

I was like oh well, I mean, at least I like Columbus, exactly but you just pop off the saginaw right. That's your first flight when I actually went international, though I was freaking out, and it was like two months before I transferred back so what was your first international destination?

Speaker 3 39:33

shanghai, shanghai yes, and it was 13 hours there, 10 hours back, and you know, I was the youngest on the crew, um, and I think I was only eight months flying in, and I was like they called me off standby and I was calling my sister real quick and I was like I think I'm going to China today and she was like, oh my God, that's so exciting. I said, no, I'm freaking out, like I'm freaking out, and so, because I've heard you know that some people are very particular in their areas, I didn't know where I was so I had to hurry up and do research because I was like, oh, maybe they won't call me I went to go check in for standby and it said you're no longer available and I was like, no, it's like, look, they gave me the trip they gave you.

Speaker 3 40:12

But I lucked out. I had the best position meal. I left. That's all I'll do on internationals. Um, I had the best crew like they were amazing, and they gave me me senior crew, rest and everything too. That was awesome. I had a really good trip.

Speaker 2 40:29

That's another thing. When you go international you were doing domestic flying when you step on an international plane, all of a sudden you straighten your uniform up a little bit more.

Speaker 3 40:38

I had to put on my jacket.

Speaker 2 40:41

You bring your level up a little bit. It's so funny because you're doing the same thing. It's a service.

Speaker 3 40:47

Yes.

Speaker 2 40:47

Okay. But it's funny when you jump on international. All of a sudden you're going oh, I'm flying international. Well, it's a whole different animal, isn't it?

Speaker 3 40:54

Oh my God, I was passed out on crew rest. We had it for four hours.

Speaker 2 41:07

I didn't think I I was knocked out the whole time.

Speaker 3 41:08

Expectation levels are going way up. Oh yeah, yeah. And see, they won't let me wear my sweater, so I'm not going, which is wild, because you can wear it after you take off.

Speaker 2 41:13

I know I have to make fun of it all the time because I used to fly international. But the whole thing, truthfully, is that your game goes up when you get on that, when you're flying international, especially when you're walking through terminals and you see a domestic crew now you can attest to this, right, sean, you walk through, you see a domestic crew. They look like they rolled out of bed sometimes. Right, I mean, they just rolled out of bed.

Speaker 3 41:35

Yes, one of them's got their hair wet because they didn't dry the damn hair right I mean somebody got their hair down, some of them got it up, some of them got it sideways.

Speaker 1 41:43

There's a total disheveled look to a domestic crew versus the polishedness of an international.

Speaker 2 41:49

Oh for sure, yes, have you ever walked past an Emirates crew?

Speaker 3 41:54

Yes, and I feel like they judge us. They'll be like oh.

Speaker 2 41:57

They do.

Speaker 3 41:57

And I'm like, oh, you're immaculate.

Speaker 2 41:59

I'm not All. All of a sudden you look like that ant on the floor because they're like ooh, ooh, what are you?

Speaker 3 42:06

They're just done with their one leg. I'm starting my fourth and I'm hair frizzy, disheveled makeup running. I look crazy.

Speaker 2 42:13

What's amazing, though, is that you look at these women and these men that are on these crews, but you look at these women. They have the same purse, the same makeup, the same bag. Everything is exactly the same. They don't have, like, a lunch bag. They don't look like they're moving Right. They don't look like they're relocating.

Speaker 1 42:30

They have rules, regulations and consequences. Exactly, Exactly.

Speaker 2 42:35

But, I mean, it is truly amazing when you're talking about the difference between international and domestic.

Speaker 3 42:41

Yeah, and I always had to keep my because, you know, for internationals, you have to wear your jacket, and I had to keep it on me at all times in my thing, in case they called me. So when they called me, that's exactly what I did I went straight to the bathroom, put on my jacket, my scarf, and I was like I'm ready, I'm ready to go.

Speaker 2 42:57

But when you first thought about being a flight attendant, right, you looked at those emirates and you're like, oh, that's me yeah, next thing you know you're like one of the johnsons.

Speaker 3 43:06

Yeah right, you're like rolling up here going uh yeah, I, that's what I thought I wanted to do. I was like I'm gonna do all the international fights, all that.

Speaker 1 43:19

No, I hate them really I love tell me like why do you hate international?

Speaker 3 43:26

It's just it's a lot for your body to adjust to, like I, that 13 hours flight was a 16 hour time difference, so we went from. Well, this also. It's not a good thing for me either and I don't know. I just it just scares me Like there's a lot more people you have to take care of and be responsible for and make sure all the safety features and everything are good to go, and I understand like there's more crew to help you, but then there's also more conflicts within crews which could happen.

Speaker 1 43:54

Yeah.

Speaker 3 43:55

And I prefer my narrow aisle with just four to five flight attendants. And we're good with just four to five flight attendants. And said we're good, you have your cabin, I have mine.

Speaker 2 44:05

We got a sling and fling service Exactly there you go?

Speaker 3 44:09

No, that's it.

Speaker 2 44:09

I mean, that's what a domestic service anymore. We've been around here a long time, so years ago we used to carve Chateaubriand in the aisles, we used to lay down linen it was a huge difference. Now we flip that stuff out. You know that, Sean. I mean, we're a sling and fling service. Now, oh yeah for sure, that's just the way we are.

Speaker 3 44:28

Yeah, someone told me they used to serve sandwiches in economy on like 30-minute breaks. So listen to this.

Speaker 1 44:35

I got a story because this is going to take G back here. So on the DC-9, these smaller aircraft went like 100 pastures and back G and nine these smaller aircraft like 100 passengers and back g and I would.

Speaker 3 44:46

They serve these sandwiches, right? We call them the footballs, so we would pass the footballs.

Around the Globe News Update

Speaker 1 44:48

Right, and so we would. They'd all come in these boxes and he and I would like have competitions like how many boxes of these footballs that we could put on one arm and go down the aisle and throw them out right or pick up like that. That was our. That was our like entertainment that we were doing our self-entertainment as we're doing this service. That was again like we had to feed all these people in 30 minutes. It was so crazy.

Speaker 2 45:12

Now here's one to add to what he's talking about. So breakfast service, we used to do that. This is the one where you knew that you were new, because we would have a cereal in there with milk, so in that same box. So when you'd have to pick it up, they have to fold it back again. You stack it up on your arm. Now, if you are a new person, you always knew you're new, because if you lean back, if you lean back even a little bit, right, all that damn milk just ran down your sleeve, onto your uniform, right, sean? I mean you smell like stinky ass body milk the rest of the day. You're like it's so gross because that's everybody's backwashed milk. You're going to be curdled, joe, you only did that one time. One time you made that mistake.

Speaker 3 45:56

Right, right.

Speaker 2 45:57

It's like you know not to do it again that shit was funny man because that is so true, how it was years ago.

Speaker 1 46:07

Oh my, because that that is so true. How it was years ago.

Speaker 3 46:08

Oh my gosh so, kayla, craziest passenger request you've had to handle. You know what.

Speaker 3 46:10

I'm gonna be honest and I'm blessed I haven't had any crazy passengers no no, the only thing that happened to me was, like, two weeks ago this man was definitely on something, because he wasn't understanding. Like he was like so this flight is like 900 miles, right? And I was like yes, and he was like so this says six dollars or 710 miles means I get it for free. And I had to stand there for a second and I was like, no, no, you don't get that for free. It's saying you want $6 to pay or 710 miles to pay. And he was like, oh, I thought I'd get it for free because the flight was 900 miles and it only cost 710 for the flight itself.

Speaker 1 46:53

And I was like, no, You're looking at that all wrong.

Speaker 3 46:57

Exactly and I was like no, but like you have, miles.

Speaker 2 46:59

You're working with passengers with disabilities.

Speaker 3 47:04

I was like, well, you have miles to spend. He was like, no, I'm good. And he just continued to not be a problem. But if he was definitely some of us, when we came up they were like he definitely went to Burning man and we were like, okay.

Speaker 1 47:19

That's hilarious Cool cool, cool. Yeah, he just got out of the orgy tent.

Speaker 2 47:24

We just talked about Burning man. That was the last episode. We just talked about that. Oh my God, really. Yeah, we talked about Burning man. That was funny.

Speaker 1 47:31

Yeah, so you have any turbulence issues or moments that you've had since you've been flying?

Speaker 3 47:40

Not really, but I know my friend told me a story once Because whenever we have to sit down for turbulence, we take everything back. We sit down and I feel terrible, but I giggle during turbulence because, I'm like, oh, it's a turbulence and I know it can be scary, but that's how I handle stuff.

Speaker 1 47:58

So you haven't had any severe yet.

Speaker 3 48:02

No, but we had unexpected. It was like it. The plane dipped and my head did hit the door, but I was like, oh, maybe it's wow so I was like oh wow, that was crazy and like so that was like the most severe I had, was like it gets kind of crazy and it can be really scary. Like I understand that, but like that's how I deal with situations, is I giggle a little bit?

Speaker 3 48:25

yeah because I'm like oh yeah but one of my friends had um, I think it was like our second month in or something hit unexpected severe turbulence and they were like you know if I just didn't be seated immediately. They were in the aisle so they had to park the car. She was on the ground holding the chairs, as they taught us in training right yeah. I guess someone next to her goes. Can I get a Diet Coke?

Speaker 3 48:49

Oh yeah, and she was like I think you're going to have to wait a second. I'm literally holding on for dear life. I'm the bottom of your chair. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 48:55

She was like oh, when you have time yeah happens.

Speaker 1 49:03

Yeah, they don't understand. On the show here we could be like you, stupid fuck. What do you think? And can you not just see us? Or trying to save, be safe ourselves? I mean people are so ignorant sometimes I'm like.

Speaker 3 49:11

I always tell people like those are our one percenters yes, and I always tell people I'm like, listen, like if you know you're up at your own discretion when the seatbelt signs on, but when we're seated, you should be seated you shouldn't even think about getting up.

Speaker 1 49:24

Yep, that's how I think about it. That makes perfect sense to us.

Speaker 2 49:27

Yes, right, one thing I can say about flying with Sean. We just flew together recently and we were hitting a lot of turbulence, and the one thing is, even when the seatbelt sign is off, he walks through all the time making sure everybody's got their seatbelt on, because there's unpredicted turbulence and you will fly around the cabin.

Speaker 1 49:46

So I've been in severe turbulence, and when I say severe turbulence, you're floating.

Speaker 3 49:54

This is not like.

Speaker 1 49:54

This is severe turbulence. This ain't just like the jolt of the rock? Yeah, where I'm in the back and we're like eh yeah, and I've had friends too where we had the cart flew up up in the air, came down, snapped her leg.

Speaker 3 50:07

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 50:07

These are the type of things that can happen on the plane and my number one thing listen. My only job on the plane is to keep you safe.

Speaker 3 50:14

Yes.

Speaker 1 50:14

And sometimes that irritates people but fuck you yeah. That's what I got to say. I'm serious. Like we just flew together and I had a had a joker that was in the aisle and, like you know, he was sleeping, whatever. But we were getting turbulence and I'm like you know. I tapped him on the shoulder hey, you need to. He's like you wigged me for that yeah because if they're hell yes, I did dude. But if they're injured?

Speaker 2 50:41

they're the first ones time is that you got to cover your bases. It's part of our job. But these people get irritated that you keep going and telling them, but as soon as they're injured, they come back and they'll say the crew never checked.

Speaker 3 50:55

I had someone we were doing compliance checks at the end of the fight. We were getting ready to land and I was like, sir, you need to bring your seat up. And he was like his chair was so back. He was like, well, why do I have to bring my seat up? I said, because you're blocking egress of people behind you, put it up.

Speaker 1 51:13

And he was like, oh, okay, and then put it up. I was like it's simple, what does egress mean? No, he didn't. I was like what you did? You call me a thespian.

Speaker 2 51:23

I was gonna say from the thespian I got you from the thespian.

Speaker 3 51:28

Yeah, now I'm really I think he knew I was done because I was like put it up like come on like stop arguing with me and just do it all right, man, I gotta talk about this one, though.

Speaker 2 51:38

when we, when we flew together, we were sitting in the galley and we were talking about dating, we were talking about the difference between how it was when me and Sean were dating. You'd have to walk across the dance floor, ask somebody to dance.

Speaker 3 51:53

They'd say no, and now you're on apps. Yeah, you got completely beat up.

Speaker 2 51:57

Sean used to get beat up a lot, right, I had to throw that in there, but anyway. So in your guys' time is different. As dating apps right? Yes, and you told me you had a crazy story about your dating app Right, and I was like we have got to share this one with Sean, so share that one.

Speaker 3 52:17

Okay, First of all can I say first like what you said, that like led into that.

Speaker 2 52:23

Yeah.

Speaker 3 52:23

I will never forget that.

Speaker 1 52:24

Yeah, go ahead. So we were talking. What was this?

Speaker 3 52:26

We were talking about dating apps, right, right. And he goes what is? He was like if I show up to a date and you said your name is Carol and I look at the picture, and someone comes up to me and says, hi, I'm Carol, and he looked at the picture. He I look at the picture, I look at you and be like, no, the hell, you ain't. And I leave.

Speaker 2 52:42

I was like hey, now let me tell you why. Okay, let me tell you why.

Speaker 3 52:46

Because years ago, years ago with him. Okay, all right.

Speaker 2 52:48

When we were younger, all right. Now we didn't have dating apps.

Speaker 3 52:51

Yeah.

Speaker 2 52:52

He was talking to a girl on the phone and we happened to be working the same flight, right, and she was, and she had met the plane. Okay, all right. And he was like, oh, I can't wait, I'm gonna go see this person, right. So and I'm like, okay, you did. Did she tell you what she looks like or anything he's like?

Speaker 1 53:12

no, she's got.

Speaker 3 53:13

No, I'm gonna add to the story because this is gonna be making more extra special because okay this person was a scheduler yeah, um, okay that, yeah, I heard you guys were all very close, but, like everybody knew, no, no like I had.

Speaker 1 53:26

I was calling in for a trip, whatever, and she started talking to me. And then she's like next thing, you know, I'm on a scheduling call for like 30 minutes.

Speaker 3 53:34

She's like you know how you doing did you just like, like her voice, like have you ever?

Speaker 2 53:38

no, no, it wasn't me exactly, she was talking to me. Okay, you see the see, the look you could have hung up. Okay, exactly, there's nobody. Okay right now, right now, who do you know that would have a scheduler? Meet the aircraft Right, I avoid them at all times.

Speaker 3 53:52

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 53:56

I don't want them following me. Okay, so let me finish what I was saying about the story.

Speaker 3 53:59

I'm a polite, kind girl as well.

Speaker 2 54:01

All right, so anyway. So we're walking out. He's like gee, whatever you do, if something happens, just be right here. And I'm like no, and he goes no, you got to come up with a reason just in case so I can get out of here. I'm like no, so we get off the plane and we're walking out, and here walks this girl and let's just say she wasn't exactly what Sean thought she was going to be, right. She looked at me and he's like Gene, I'll see you later. Let's just put it that way. I said I looked at Sean, he's like Gene. I was like I'll see you later, man.

Speaker 1 54:41

I'll be at the hotel.

Speaker 2 54:42

He literally walked away. I did, I was like I'll see you later, man, I'll be at the hotel.

Speaker 1 54:45

He literally walked away. I did, I'm like I did.

Speaker 3 54:46

So did you hang out with her.

Speaker 1 54:47

I'm like dude, I told you I'm a nice guy. He did. And here's the thing. Let's pause for just one second. She's a scheduler, she has control of my life.

Speaker 3 55:00

Yeah, she sure does.

Speaker 1 55:00

I don't need to be sent to all of a sudden. I'm being checked to Rick and Tim Book dude, you know like no, I remember him.

Speaker 3 55:06

Okay, so let's fast forward to our conversation.

Speaker 2 55:11

Okay, so I we were talking, so wait a minute, but what I had said to you was on their dating apps, because they have their dating apps, and what I told her is that if me and you if me and you were talking about this and we showed up and we sit there and said, oh, you're Carol, Uh-uh, you lied, no, you lied.

Speaker 3 55:27

I'm leaving.

Speaker 2 55:28

Right, I'm leaving.

Speaker 3 55:29

So go ahead. So he was like what's so crazy? I was like I actually had someone crazily ask me, didn't even know him, never met him, and he was like would you want to peg me?

Speaker 1 55:43

What.

Speaker 2 55:46

You don't know.

Speaker 1 55:47

Nobody can see my face right now.

Speaker 3 55:50

Smile disappeared, I don't know.

Speaker 1 55:52

Listen, I'm like. First of all, nobody's pegging me. I don't know what you mean by that.

Speaker 3 55:58

Better watch your back as you go out of here. You don't know what I did.

Speaker 1 56:02

I'm a heterosexual man. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 56:05

Apparently so is he and he was like would you be interested in pegging me? And I literally I'm not gonna lie to you I thought about it for the experience you see why I fell out.

Speaker 2 56:20

I was like oh my, she checked it off her bucket list.

Speaker 3 56:27

She's like well you know, don't turn your back to me, Sean.

Speaker 2 56:29

She's like well, I never thought about it, but I'll give it a shot. Yeah, right.

Speaker 3 56:34

I was like I sat there, I was like give me a couple days to think about it.

Speaker 2 56:37

And I did. I took the time.

Speaker 3 56:50

Because I was like ooh, do I want this?

Speaker 1 56:51

like just for fun story to experience. And then she called him back and said yeah, I'm all in. I'm all in. Actually, no, it's not, unfortunately. No, wow, first of all, I I'm. You know, in this day and age it amazes me like the level of like the balls that people have to say shit, you know, like, like, and. And here's the thing I think. I think it's like that was in person, right? No, that was on the app, right. So, to make it clear, like we had to go across the dance floor to ask you to dance.

Speaker 3 57:15

Right and all that stuff.

Speaker 1 57:16

I'm not walking across and saying hey, you know, nice to meet you, Would you peg me Right? That ain't happening, Like you ain't doing it face-to-face.

Speaker 3 57:24

No, that dude wasn't going to do it face-to-face, behind the screens.

Speaker 1 57:28

They're all brave and they get muscles and braveness comes out as soon as you match with them.

Speaker 3 57:33

come over.

Speaker 1 57:34

For what?

Speaker 2 57:35

What am I coming over.

Speaker 3 57:36

We all know.

Speaker 2 57:37

Oh my God, you know something. Hey, listen, we could sit here all day. This is what happens with flight attendants in the galley. We could sit here and talk all day and we're going to have Kayla. You're definitely coming back, but, Sean, we've got to go to around the globe. Man, we didn't even realize we've been talking so long. Got to go to around the globe.

Speaker 1 57:54

Yeah, so what's been happening around the globe? G?

Closing Thoughts on Humanity

Speaker 2 57:59

All right. Okay, this is a thing that just happened on the planes. People, for whatever reason, they think that because you can use your cell phones in flight, it's okay. Yeah, Right, they think yeah, but it's not no On any plane. Yeah, Just got into this whole discussion and just let you guys know just because using a cell phone, you're able to use it, doesn't mean that you can All right. But I had to tell you about this other one too. Did you guys see that video of that older guy? This young kid threw the food on his wife. Did you see that one?

Speaker 1 58:34

No, threw the food on his wife.

Speaker 2 58:37

Yeah, he picked up his food and he threw it at his wife. And this old guy jumps over and booth starts pounding on this kid and this guy interjects about our age and he was like hey, break it up, break it up, you know what's going on. And the old guy goes he just threw food on my wife. He turns around and bitch smacks his kid. What the?

Speaker 1 58:59

hell, are you?

Speaker 2 58:59

doing man. It's so stupid trends lately too, but the generational thing was so funny you had. The old guy says you don't do that to my wife, right? The middle-aged guy says bam, and the young guy says what?

Speaker 3 59:14

the fuck Right. What did I do? Wait a minute?

Speaker 2 59:18

Crazy Now, in-flight. They had three just recently, on the September 15th, and that's what we and we talked about turbulence. Three flight attendants were injured because of moderate turbulence. Dude, I'm going to tell you right now.

Speaker 1 59:32

I mean turbulence is so serious.

Speaker 3 59:34

Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 1 59:35

You got to like. I mean, when you're on a plane and for all those that are listening right there, and you hear that the flight attendants need to be seated, I'm gonna tell you, right now, your lives are secondary right now, right yeah I mean, I'm gonna take care of me and myself.

Speaker 1 59:50

I mean, that's what, that's what that announcement's all about secure yourself, get yourself in a safe place. And uh, you know and people don't understand that you know the woman walking down down in the bottom and I'm like, oh yeah, hey, can you give me a Pepsi?

Speaker 3 1:00:04

They don't know. No, not right now. Seatbelt sign's on, yeah that's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 1:00:08

All right. Another amazing thing happened is Air Canada rejected their wage offer 99.1%, oh good for them.

Speaker 3 1:00:16

They said, hell, no, it wasn't enough. We love that.

Speaker 1 1:00:18

Heck, yeah, man, we are worth more, right? That's all there is to it For sure.

Speaker 2 1:00:22

Exactly, Denver International Airport just became the fourth largest in the world in departures. I know man.

Speaker 3 1:00:29

Aren't they trying to make it headquarters now? Yeah, yeah, for our company.

Speaker 1 1:00:33

I think they're thinking about that move, which will be so. When I first started flying, that's where I actually got hired out of. Oh, okay first started flying like uh, that's where I actually got hired out of, oh, okay, denver. So uh, you know the old stapleton airport in denver which you probably don't even know.

Speaker 3 1:00:49

No, I'm over here nodding my head.

Speaker 1 1:00:50

It's a mall now oh wow, yeah, like they built condos and made it a mall and all this stuff, yeah, but uh, it'd be kind of cool to go back there. I loved, I love colorado and denver, the whole area, the colorado, my favorite Springs. I was stationed there as a military brat.

Speaker 3 1:01:07

Yeah, okay, my nephew lived there for two years when I was in San Francisco, so I would always go visit him. Yeah, beautiful place, beautiful, loved it, yep.

Speaker 2 1:01:14

And in other news, another drug boat was blown up. There was yeah, I missed that. Oh yeah, no, no, no, we got another one. I like shit being blown up.

Speaker 1 1:01:23

Yeah, they blew their shit up.

Speaker 2 1:01:24

Actually two more, but they only got the video on one.

Speaker 1 1:01:27

Dang.

Speaker 2 1:01:28

They said it's really slowed down between Venezuela. Okay, they said the boats. Oh, amigo don't want to go now, no, they're saying they're getting blown up. Sean, yeah, amigo don't want to go. It's funny how that works. You take a video, you blow a drug boat up and you put it on TV. And no more boats.

Speaker 1 1:01:51

Yeah, that's not the way I want to go.

Speaker 2 1:01:54

No, Now they don't either, because they ain't getting their ass in that boat either. Alright, so the other one. What happens when You're not paying attention to the cockpit and you get too close to Air Force One? Oh shit.

Speaker 1 1:02:09

Yeah well, they're going to see our finest military fighters pull up beside you.

Speaker 2 1:02:14

You heard it from the air traffic controller. It kept telling you turn 20 degrees, Turn 20 degrees. Quit paying attention to your iPad. Right, Turn and they were seriously getting yelled at.

Speaker 3 1:02:29

Yeah, that is scary like especially our lives are in their hands, and if you're not paying attention to them, it's all a working connection.

Speaker 1 1:02:35

That's terrifying right like okay, what you don't know won't hurt you right don't let, right Don't. Let me know that Don't let me know that I'm on the same plane and that shit's happening Exactly Right. Oh my gosh, All right Anyways.

Speaker 2 1:02:50

Yeah, before we end this, something happened this week and I had to talk about this because it did. It did really affect me and I just had to talk about it a little bit, and this isn't about politics, but this is about humanity. When Charlie Kirk was assassinated this past week, it did affect me. The next morning I walked into the terminal and I told Sean I had to talk about this a little bit because I seen this little girl. She was holding her dad's hand and I realized that this little girl was about the same age as Charlie Kirk's little girl and it really affected me because when I seen that, I realized that this evil coward, because of their beliefs, because they hated this person for debating people so much, they decided to take his life and this little girl will never be able to reach up and hold her daddy's hand again because of this. And let me tell you something I know everyone has their different beliefs on this, but if you do, please go back and research Charlie, because you know he debated everyone and he hated no one. There's not anyone that he hated. He might not agree with everything that you did, but he always believed that when you stop talking, then that's when bad things happen. And what happened was this person, who couldn't come up and debate him, decided to take his life because you were a coward, because you'd hide and you'd shoot.

Speaker 2 1:04:22

There are people in the world today, because of their comments, that are losing their jobs on social media. And now they're complaining about free speech and what they believe in, and they're complaining that they're losing their job because of free speech. Imagine losing your dad because of his free speech. Folks, we're all Americans. We need to start acting like Americans. Okay, we got to stop doing this, and this is not about being political. This is about being human, human Period.

Speaker 2 1:04:59

So you know, god bless charlie and his family. Um, and you guys listen, it's important that we talk just like we do here. We laugh, we joke, but we talk, and you hate no one and debate everyone. That's what we do. So, again, it was horrible. I hope we don't have to experience this again. But I realized one thing For something to change, sometimes it takes an ultimate sacrifice, and that's what happened with Charlie. He paid an ultimate sacrifice for a big change that, hopefully, is going to change a little bit in our country. Like I said, I just wanted to say that at the end of the show. And this is again, it's not a political thing, this is a human thing. So, kayla, yes, I want to say man, it was such a pleasure having you on the show today.

Speaker 3 1:05:57

So fun to be here. I can't wait. It was awesome.

Speaker 2 1:05:59

You are so coming back, for sure, right, she's so coming back.

Speaker 1 1:06:03

For sure we are. The energy that you bring is awesome.

Speaker 3 1:06:08

Thank you.

Speaker 2 1:06:09

We got to get Belaki in here.

Speaker 1 1:06:10

Belaki.

Speaker 3 1:06:11

I'd love to do it with him.

Speaker 1 1:06:13

There we go, all right.

Speaker 3 1:06:16

We'll keep that private. Yeah, better phrase it when we're inside, all right, so anyhow we want to end with a quote.

Speaker 1 1:06:22

The quote today is never stop being a good person because of a bad people. Nope, you just keep. As G stated, you know we need to continue to talk. Don't be afraid to talk If you're angry talk.

Speaker 2 1:06:40

Right, debate someone, don't hate them. Yeah, everybody has their opinion. We're allowed to our opinions. Right, debate someone, don't hate them. Yeah, everybody has their opinion. We're allowed to our opinions, okay, but don't hate a person because a person is willing to debate you.

Speaker 3 1:06:53

That's it. Or turn violent. Exactly. There's no need for that. Exactly.

Speaker 2 1:06:57

All right guys. Hey, listen, it was a great week. We had a lot of fun. Kayla, can't wait to get you back on here with Balake.
