Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 2: Want to ask you a question.
Speaker 1: Let's just keep it real, straight shot with no chasing.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get a little bit ruptured. I'm here
Speaker 1: for it. Those who really believed in the American process,
Speaker 1: all of us street shot, no chase with your girl
Speaker 1: chest and figure out on the black effect podcasting net
Speaker 1: work work. Just so y'all know that intro when Charlotte said, Tess,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question. He knew I
Speaker 1: was getting ready to go in. Just so y'all get
Speaker 1: some back corn on that. That was when we were
Speaker 1: on the ground, uh in Minneapolis for the George Floyd matter,
Speaker 1: and he knew I wanted to throw Amy Senator to
Speaker 1: Amy Claubachov under the bus. And so when he asked, Tess,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question, that was one
Speaker 1: of your favorite ones were being patting me on the
Speaker 1: back of Marcellas. That's where that clip came from.
Speaker 2: I don't know one of them like well you said
Speaker 2: if you scared, say you're scared.
Speaker 1: That's different. This was a mix of things. So at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the intro, when you hear Charlotte may say, tays,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question. That was the
Speaker 1: day that being patted me on the back when he
Speaker 1: asked me the question, and I went in the papped
Speaker 1: me on the back to wrap it up. If you're scared,
Speaker 1: say you scared. Came from when I was doing a
Speaker 1: speech UH for Donald Needley in Texas. When I remember
Speaker 1: the story of UH. They put him, had him on
Speaker 1: a rope, walking him with the horse. You may remember
Speaker 1: in Galveston, which where John teen started, by the way,
Speaker 1: And that was when I called our Congress from Beto.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember when cars in Beto
Speaker 1: lied and said he wasn't in town. And then I
Speaker 1: went to the studio and saw that you actually was
Speaker 1: in town.
Speaker 2: Oh no, remember that we had asked her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got the speech. I asked him to come
Speaker 1: to the rally, and he said he wasn't gonna be
Speaker 1: in town. So I went to do my fox had
Speaker 1: in Houston, and it was like, oh, kearonzin Beato just left.
Speaker 1: I said, I thought he wasn't in town. They called
Speaker 1: him out on the mic and said, you had a
Speaker 1: little peace for me to see you actually was in town.
Speaker 1: So take recreations off your you know, your platform, because
Speaker 1: you should have been here in Galveston while man was
Speaker 1: getting drugged by Rope, you know in Galveston where Junie
Speaker 1: team started, by the way, m So he got off
Speaker 1: the battle a couple of weeks after that. So I
Speaker 1: ain't saying the universe had anything to do with it,
Speaker 1: but if it did.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sense. But this way, well, why did you
Speaker 3: say you're scared?
Speaker 2: Say you're scared?
Speaker 1: Though, I was talking to the ground, just what I
Speaker 1: was saying. If y'all want to speak up, but y'all
Speaker 1: want to speak up, just say it. You know that
Speaker 1: tied in the back room meetings, you know, all everybody
Speaker 1: always you you're scared to say you're scared there? You know,
Speaker 1: they always you know, you know, they don't like it
Speaker 1: when I get to call them our names. I like
Speaker 1: to call them out urbaby. That way, you ain't got
Speaker 1: to worry about. You ain't got to worry about, like
Speaker 1: women being diplomatic on the last episode, tell them I
Speaker 1: said they were gonna stet you up. It was gonna
Speaker 1: go against me, and they did. And that's it, and
Speaker 1: that's all.
Speaker 2: Damn. I meant the ass too, I mean the as
Speaker 2: was that. Did they do it instantly?
Speaker 1: Yes, she told you It happened literally that same day, Yes, instantly, suddenly,
Speaker 1: like I said, it was gonna be men. And this
Speaker 1: is not gender whatever y'all love talking about gender, whatever
Speaker 1: the hell y'all talking about. There are dynamics with men
Speaker 1: and women. It just is, especially in male dominated fields
Speaker 1: and men typically women too. But men don't like strong
Speaker 1: women like me around the weaker of the of the
Speaker 1: the beta of the women, not weaker meaning bad. But
Speaker 1: how can you control you know, when people are trying
Speaker 1: to come in and see who can control who and
Speaker 1: who you know they can get to kind of you know,
Speaker 1: on their side, they're always gonna try to minimize me
Speaker 1: because they know that women are empowered by me. It's
Speaker 1: not like when Michelle told you when she was saying, dang,
Speaker 1: when I read her background, I thought we was gonna
Speaker 1: get into it and you know, be at odds because
Speaker 1: most women are competitive with each other. I'm not. I
Speaker 1: empower women to be stronger and it has something to
Speaker 1: do with being a man. It's I empower people period,
Speaker 1: you know, but certainly women see something in me that
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, you know, I can be more vocal,
Speaker 1: I can speak up, I can you know, so it's
Speaker 1: always anytime you're on a team, whether it's like a
Speaker 1: Prentice or any kind of team, you know, situation you're
Speaker 1: trying to see. If it's a gang, you're trying to
Speaker 1: see who can I get to be my muscle? Who
Speaker 1: can I get you know, on my side, who can
Speaker 1: I that's in any dynamic, So the stronger one they're
Speaker 1: always going to try to minimize. I tried out for
Speaker 1: Apprentice probably in two thousand Marcella's and I made it
Speaker 1: to the first to the final round, and I remember
Speaker 1: they asked who would you get rid of? Who would
Speaker 1: you want to be your team leader? And everybody pointed
Speaker 1: to me, and they said who would you who would
Speaker 1: be the first person you would eliminate? And everybody pointed
Speaker 1: to me. The same people that wanted me to be
Speaker 1: the leader was also the person they would eliminate. Because
Speaker 1: I'm I'm strong, and the stronger person wins. That's why
Speaker 1: it's called survival of the fittest. It's been like that
Speaker 1: in high school, the cheerleaders, the principal didn't like me around,
Speaker 1: you know, making other cheerleaders stronger. It's always been that way.
Speaker 1: It's always been that way throughout my entire life. So
Speaker 1: I told her, they're going to try to turn you
Speaker 1: against me, and they did, and I told her, and
Speaker 1: you're going to have to make a choice, and you
Speaker 1: might want to stand with me, because I'll be the
Speaker 1: last one standing. And I was the last one standing,
Speaker 1: respectfully to my colleagues, I'm the last one standing. Now.
Speaker 1: All of them have went on and did different things,
Speaker 1: and certainly not vocal in politics. One is shout out
Speaker 1: of my baby brother Danny, who's running for office. But
Speaker 1: the bottom line is my name, my platform. I parlaid
Speaker 1: mind into what they wanted to do, more so than
Speaker 1: anybody on that whole team. And that's just the bottom line.
Speaker 1: So I always bet on tests. In case you're listening,
Speaker 1: bet on tests. Don't have to like it. You ain't
Speaker 1: got to like me. Bet on me because the grit,
Speaker 1: the resilience, the obedience, the discipline, I got it, the
Speaker 1: loyal t I got it. They're gonna fall off. Everybody
Speaker 1: now is talking about policies because it's fun to talk
Speaker 1: about I've been talking about it, gonna keep talking about it.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not bothered. I don't have to compete
Speaker 1: with y'all. In the YouTube space. Y'all got it because
Speaker 1: two weeks from now, three weeks and ain't I'm gona
Speaker 1: tell me something else. Next year, you gonna tell me
Speaker 1: some I'm gonna talking about this till the day I die.
Speaker 1: So make sure you tap into straight shot, no chaser.
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep. The conversation is the same. I do
Speaker 1: talk about relationships other stuff. You know, we have a
Speaker 1: lot of fun with that. But you notice I still
Speaker 1: even merge that into political conversations. Every thing is about politics,
Speaker 1: and that's what I want people to know. But today
Speaker 1: I want to selfishly use my platform talk about like
Speaker 1: everybody else use their platform, talk about they want to
Speaker 1: talk about. I want to talk about Marcella's. And you
Speaker 1: don't fly a lot. Well, I don't think you fly
Speaker 1: a lot, at least haven't heard you talk about fly
Speaker 1: a lot? You scared of planes?
Speaker 4: No, only flew one time? Oh for real, Yeah, only
Speaker 4: flew one time. That's when back when they had air.
Speaker 1: Trand oh wow, yeah they're back in the late seventies.
Speaker 2: I remember it was a twenty dollars ticket. I'll never forget.
Speaker 1: Are you so you're not afraid of flying? You just
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: I only flew.
Speaker 4: So my aunt wanted us, wanted me and my cousin
Speaker 4: to get the experience of flying. So she only she
Speaker 4: lived in Savannah, so we flew from here to Savannah
Speaker 4: just to get the experience.
Speaker 1: Meaning in Atlanta. Everybody don't know you in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Atlanta. So I mean that one time I flew.
Speaker 4: I mean when it, you know, playing first took off
Speaker 4: and it turned I was a little scared bafter that.
Speaker 4: I was like, I ain't really I could say I
Speaker 4: really enjoyed it anything because the flight was so quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was on like thirty minutes and then we
Speaker 2: was already landing.
Speaker 4: I'm like, dang, this quick flight. Yeah, but fly I
Speaker 4: would because I don't like all that driving far.
Speaker 1: This is on Orlando. You'll drive sometime. I enjoyed good
Speaker 1: roll trip. And the only reason why is because I
Speaker 1: like the time to just be in the car listening
Speaker 1: to music. It's a good I prefer to fly everywhere
Speaker 1: just for time purposes. But every now and then I
Speaker 1: don't mind driving. Why say every now and then, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about like it once every two years or so.
Speaker 1: But I do get a good little you know, I
Speaker 1: enjoy the music I'll call people haven't talked to in
Speaker 1: a really long time to just have a good, long,
Speaker 1: one hour conversation. It's almost like it gives me a
Speaker 1: time to kind of isolate a little bit thing plan,
Speaker 1: you know, new things I can think about, new thing
Speaker 1: task I can give you to do more work for you,
Speaker 1: you know, things like that. So I'll be in Orlando
Speaker 1: and hey, Atlanta, I instill Atlanta like, we're not leaving
Speaker 1: that relationship Marcella's. I'm working too hard to build relationship.
Speaker 1: Matter fact, I was talking to my Atlanta radio family
Speaker 1: just this morning. It was like, don't forget, you know,
Speaker 1: still keep me involved, still keep me connected, same way
Speaker 1: I did with Orlando. The last ten years since I've
Speaker 1: been gone, I do not, you know, starve relationships. Which
Speaker 1: is why I didn't start a lot in Houston, by
Speaker 1: the way, because I knew that was not gonna be
Speaker 1: something I will continue wherever I go. But Atlanta know,
Speaker 1: we still got plans, still got plans. My brother killer Mike,
Speaker 1: still got a lot. I'm gonna do we need the
Speaker 1: law degree Marcella's because we just need the law degree.
Speaker 1: Gotta have it. And unfortunately Atlanta does not have an HBCU,
Speaker 1: which they should, which is crazy that offers a law program.
Speaker 1: A lot of people confuse that because they think and
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about pre law studies. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: an actual law school. You know, you can study pre
Speaker 1: law at more House, Spellman and Clerk, you know. But
Speaker 1: I'm talking about an actual law school with an actual
Speaker 1: juris doctrine and that.
Speaker 2: That when you say pre law criminal justice or something, yeah.
Speaker 1: Like, well, criminal justice is different. So well, if you
Speaker 1: take criminal justice, those are people that usuly want to
Speaker 1: get into the criminal justice field, maybe administration, maybe police officer,
Speaker 1: maybe a juvenile. Maybe their criminal justice is a huge,
Speaker 1: you know, industry. So taking criminal justice is not the
Speaker 1: same as a pre law, uh major. People that take
Speaker 1: pre law are usually trying to prepare themselves for law
Speaker 1: school or after that they may or they may take
Speaker 1: the pair of legal tests and certification or something like that.
Speaker 1: There is not a pair of legal study in an
Speaker 1: undergraduate four year university. There is para legal in a
Speaker 1: community college. If you want to get you know, be
Speaker 1: certified pair leegal in that you can, you know, certainly
Speaker 1: welcome you to go do that. But law program, jurist, doctor,
Speaker 1: and the JD is a school by itself that awards
Speaker 1: juris doctor and it ain't no honorary either, Like you
Speaker 1: will sit there, you will sit your ass there in
Speaker 1: class and either a three year program or four year program.
Speaker 1: Part time. I did part time because I just can't
Speaker 1: handle that and be full time. For those of y'all
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm over to revote News. I am revote News.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm the managing editor. So still got a
Speaker 1: full time job with that, still doing the training, you know,
Speaker 1: my business and you know obviously the podcast and all
Speaker 1: of that. So I needed to be part time so
Speaker 1: that I can actually be successful. Right now, I could
Speaker 1: my I could pal on an extra class or two,
Speaker 1: so that means I go year round. Also in summer,
Speaker 1: I could do an extra class or two and graduate
Speaker 1: way to semester early. But you know what's the difference.
Speaker 1: The point is we get in and get the program going.
Speaker 1: But full time would have been just absolutely too much.
Speaker 1: Full time law schools a full time job. You know,
Speaker 1: it's every day Monday through Friday, you know, eight nine o'clock,
Speaker 1: three four o'clock, you know, through the day. It's a
Speaker 1: full time job.
Speaker 2: Is it? Is it like multiple classes in the day
Speaker 2: or is it just one class.
Speaker 1: It's just like you're undergraduate with that you may have
Speaker 1: two a day. You're taking five courses though full time
Speaker 1: part time. I'm taking three at night. So I got
Speaker 1: my six to ten sixty. You might say nine thirty,
Speaker 1: but six to ten. Like Monday through Friday. I think
Speaker 1: there are some semesters where I may have to take
Speaker 1: something on a Friday during the day. It would have
Speaker 1: looked like on the schedule. I'm not sure, but ideally
Speaker 1: is Monday through Thursday in the evening, so because that
Speaker 1: gives you know, people like me chance to work in
Speaker 1: the daytime. And right now we're in a pre class
Speaker 1: that is self pace to prepare you for what it's
Speaker 1: going to look like in law school, mainly to set
Speaker 1: up the discipline now to set aside three hours a
Speaker 1: day of study and modules, and you know, working through
Speaker 1: all of that, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. By
Speaker 1: the way, I'm a big nurse, so I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Speaker 1: So so as we get done with this, I'm go
Speaker 1: right to my study. And that's why I for me,
Speaker 1: I needed to wait until Jada. You know, I actually
Speaker 1: wanted to be a mom. You know, I have no
Speaker 1: regrets with that. So now this is like my life.
Speaker 1: I just get up, I do my just so y'all
Speaker 1: know business and we'll do some business courses. Let me
Speaker 1: know if y'all interested in that. The business course that
Speaker 1: I put up did pretty well. But it is a discipline.
Speaker 1: It's getting up every day, you know, doing my marketing
Speaker 1: and some of y'all may notice that on my Instagram,
Speaker 1: you know, so trying to get my marketing out the way.
Speaker 1: Responding to clients. I do have clients that I manage
Speaker 1: stuff for, not a lot, but to reduce that down
Speaker 1: and always keep good, little, nice little client clientele. And
Speaker 1: then now incorporating okay, what's gonna be my study time,
Speaker 1: you know, ten to three or whatever that, you know,
Speaker 1: get that out the way, weekends, all of that. It
Speaker 1: has to be a discipline. I will do a time
Speaker 1: management and you need to be first in class with it, Markhallow.
Speaker 1: But I'll do a time management webinar as well. I'm
Speaker 1: excited to get to the webinars. I do want y'all
Speaker 1: to go ahead and roll in course too. I'm getting
Speaker 1: kind of nervous because I'm looking at the enrollment, We're
Speaker 1: still gonna move forward with it. But I don't know
Speaker 1: if my lum if y'all was just lying on the
Speaker 1: on the survey or not. This is why you can't
Speaker 1: go surveys. So I'm like, course of course too, So
Speaker 1: the enrollment's kind of slow. Maybe they wait until last minute.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Remember when I told you, I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna waiting do like a four week marketing, but
Speaker 1: I want to see how that works. But when I'm
Speaker 1: learning so far, and I'm sharing this with you guys
Speaker 1: as well because i want you to always pick up
Speaker 1: business tips for me, what I'm learning is maybe that
Speaker 1: four weeks is too long. So we're gonna go with
Speaker 1: what Marcella's want to do on the first time, which
Speaker 1: is knock this stuff out back to back. So we're
Speaker 1: going to do Course two on July fifteenth, and then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead right after that Marcella's and do
Speaker 1: Course three on the nineteenth of July. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: do one Saturday in Course three nineteenth, and then we
Speaker 1: moving on moving on. We're gonna get four and five
Speaker 1: out the way in August. So that way that's done
Speaker 1: because law school starts August fifth, and then after that
Speaker 1: I will do once a month webinars on special topics,
Speaker 1: and that's what I think a lot of people are
Speaker 1: waiting on, things like time management, how to manage a
Speaker 1: difficult candidate, how to change the race around in sixty days,
Speaker 1: how to create a walk list, how to do crisis calm,
Speaker 1: how to debate some of the stuff that people want
Speaker 1: to specialized stuff in. But I have to put those
Speaker 1: core fundamentals down because I want to be able to
Speaker 1: direct people back to as I'm doing a webinar, Guys,
Speaker 1: learn the fundamentals and course too, you know, to prepare
Speaker 1: you for whatever I'm doing. So that's what it is.
Speaker 1: But that's not what today's episode is about. But thank
Speaker 1: you for getting out. The morning announcements are the announcements.
Speaker 1: Make sure you again, guys enrolled tell him figo dot com.
Speaker 1: The courses are so affordable Marcella's fifty bucks course materials live.
Speaker 1: I am the trainer. You're getting everything from me a
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars in our value five hundred
Speaker 1: dollars value. I make no qualms about that. I've worked
Speaker 1: my ass off to learn what I learned and I
Speaker 1: charge clients that rate, and Marcelli's is totally fine with you.
Speaker 1: Y'all can't see him, but he's nodding his head yesterday
Speaker 1: in the chat. Yep, we want the money on time,
Speaker 1: ayvow we start getting at all. What I love is
Speaker 1: the community dashboard. It's not as active as I wanted
Speaker 1: to be. Now you know, people went in and said
Speaker 1: hello and all of that. Yeah, we've got a couple,
Speaker 1: well over one hundred something people on it, and I'm
Speaker 1: very excited about that because you get lifetime access to that.
Speaker 1: So even if you just roll in one course, you
Speaker 1: still get at access to that. So guys, yeah, enroll
Speaker 1: in the class fifty. You look at it as I
Speaker 1: do a two hour live class with each one. Look
Speaker 1: at it as you're just paying twenty five dollars an hour,
Speaker 1: but you're still getting the course of content. Sometimes I
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of stuff to give you an advance.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start building out course too. I just need
Speaker 1: to upload it because course to is more, you know, conversation.
Speaker 1: But I do try to give downloads PDFs, you know,
Speaker 1: so you can kind of have it so you're not
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with everything I say in the class.
Speaker 1: You can watch it on demand. I know people are
Speaker 1: probably sharing it with people. I'm fine with that too.
Speaker 1: Just encourage whoever that is to come, you know, be
Speaker 1: a part of the program. Support the program, guys, cash app.
Speaker 1: I've been sending people send it like little five dollars.
Speaker 1: I hope this's helped, you know, that does help. We
Speaker 1: just want to grow the program. It's very important that
Speaker 1: we grow it because a lot of people still want
Speaker 1: in person Marcella's and I can't do in person if
Speaker 1: this virtual is not sustainable. So this keeps me giving
Speaker 1: the information out. It does cost, you know, the software
Speaker 1: that I use, the time that I use developing everything,
Speaker 1: the curriculum, all of that. So it's a real course.
Speaker 1: So guys, please support it. I was so excited to
Speaker 1: see how many people were gifting it to others. One
Speaker 1: lady gifted her son all five courses, and that really
Speaker 1: makes me feel really really good because I don't take
Speaker 1: that for granted. That's a huge responsibility. So make sure
Speaker 1: you enroll, guys. This is will continue. This is not
Speaker 1: a temporary thing. This is a year round thing. This
Speaker 1: is my landing plate. This is what I've been waiting
Speaker 1: to launch virtually and we're not going anywhere. It only
Speaker 1: gets better in times not I'm not going crazy. Marcella's
Speaker 1: everybody got to sign up right now because I know
Speaker 1: I'm consistent. I'm going to keep Bush and this and
Speaker 1: we're going to keep you know, moving forward. So anyway, guys,
Speaker 1: make sure you en road Testperago dot com. Now I
Speaker 1: want to use the rest of my time to talk
Speaker 1: about Southwest Airlines, who getting a little bit too uppity
Speaker 1: for me now Ricky Smiley shout out to Ricky Smalley.
Speaker 1: I posted about him, letting everybody know you know how
Speaker 1: good Spirit was because and let's let me just break
Speaker 1: this down, because every time somebody get in come and
Speaker 1: say I don't like Spirit, and I don't like these
Speaker 1: seats and I don't like so Spirit has three different
Speaker 1: experiences on Spirit and this by the way, Spirit Southwest Delta.
Speaker 1: Nobody's paying me for any of this. I just want
Speaker 1: to break this down. I fly weekly, guys, I fly
Speaker 1: a lot, so I'm always comparing. You know, where the
Speaker 1: best value would you get all of it? You know,
Speaker 1: all of the different things. I have an American Express
Speaker 1: Delta card, so you guys are Delta, You're not above it.
Speaker 1: I'm right with you. People, well an American Spress Delta card.
Speaker 1: Let me show mart so we can confirm, because I
Speaker 1: know y'all believe you know, y'all love lies. People love
Speaker 1: lying on the internet on Marcella's even though y'all can't
Speaker 1: see it. But Marcella's just confirmed. This is what raised
Speaker 1: death math, so let's not be confused. On Marcella's Southwest.
Speaker 1: I have two Southwest cars, actually two Southwest cars that
Speaker 1: I use, so I am real big about points where
Speaker 1: you get the most value. I don't care what y'all say.
Speaker 1: I am shn all day. I am ross dress for less.
Speaker 1: Y'all been kind of tricking. I don't know what y'all
Speaker 1: going through. Y'all going through something too, but I am
Speaker 1: very conservative when it comes to spending money. I will
Speaker 1: bless anybody give I give away a lot. I'm not
Speaker 1: a stingy person, not cheap, but I do you know.
Speaker 1: I'm monitor my money and I like to get the
Speaker 1: best return that I can. So I just want to
Speaker 1: kind of break down these things for those of you
Speaker 1: who are confused. The lady was saying, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't like the Spirit seats. It's like sitting on line chairs.
Speaker 1: Now she ain't lying the regular's standard chairs. They are
Speaker 1: like line chairs. They're very uncomfortable. The way to fly
Speaker 1: with Spirit is what they used to call comfy seats,
Speaker 1: which is no middle seat that they now got rid of,
Speaker 1: which I love because Spirit is real close marself. You
Speaker 1: are really uncomfortable Spirit, So I've always flew the comfy seats,
Speaker 1: which is still a hard seat, not as hard as
Speaker 1: the standard, but not as soft as the big seat.
Speaker 1: But what I love is no middle seat because it
Speaker 1: is very tight on Spirit, very tight. So the comfy
Speaker 1: seats pay maybe one hundred dollars more and I get
Speaker 1: no middle seat, the big seat, which is the best experience.
Speaker 1: They have four big seats in the front, which is
Speaker 1: kind of like their first class. Comfortable. Still not as
Speaker 1: comfortable as Delta, I will say that, not even as
Speaker 1: comfortable a Southwest because the seas don't recline. So I'm
Speaker 1: giving you the pros and cons. The seas don't recline,
Speaker 1: but they are softer. Also, the big seat you get
Speaker 1: your free Wi Fi. Of course you get free snacks.
Speaker 1: Now Spirit got the best snacks Southwest don't have no snacks, pretzels,
Speaker 1: that's it. Spirit got Yeah, Spirits got noodles they heat
Speaker 1: up for you like you can get noodles. You can
Speaker 1: get cookies, you can get chips, you can get em
Speaker 1: and ms. They got cheese crackers like they actually got.
Speaker 1: I was really impressed with like the little MENI they have,
Speaker 1: because you don't even get that on Delta. So you
Speaker 1: get the free little snacks. Most times when I ask
Speaker 1: for wine in the big seat, they give it to
Speaker 1: them for free. I think they suposed to charge for that,
Speaker 1: but you do get the free beverage. Spirit does charge
Speaker 1: for everything. No your bag, the extra beverage. Even they
Speaker 1: don't even get waterway. You pay for everything in the
Speaker 1: standard seat. So people saying, well you might as well
Speaker 1: by the time you pay for all, let you might
Speaker 1: as well go Delta. Like I explained to the Cysts
Speaker 1: in the chat, it's not about might as well go Delta.
Speaker 1: I choose Spirit Soda Child.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: I fly to Detroit a lot. There's no Detroit, the
Speaker 1: Black Mecca. Stay in Spirit the state, Spirit State going
Speaker 1: to Detroit. They're the only ones, with the exception of Delta.
Speaker 1: I believe that have a one have a NonStop from
Speaker 1: the cities that I'm usually coming from, So I'm choosing
Speaker 1: my flight. Marcelle's based on where I'm going and if
Speaker 1: there's a NonStop.
Speaker 2: He's from the charity.
Speaker 4: He he just went back yesterday and he said I
Speaker 4: ain't believe him though he said he had ninety five
Speaker 4: dollars around trip ticket.
Speaker 2: I was like, I know, no Toe, Yeah he's Dave Spirit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Spirit, they do one ways, be like forty bucks.
Speaker 1: He ain't lying. That's in the standard seat though You're
Speaker 1: gonna be uncomfortable, but if you an hour. So again,
Speaker 1: we got to just look at what what are we
Speaker 1: doing here? Am I gonna spend? Because now Spirit, I
Speaker 1: don't know what's Southwest on They that tickets to me
Speaker 1: to Atlanta now if I get it now. I got
Speaker 1: in a ticket to Atlanta now that I got yesterday
Speaker 1: for sixty bucks. But that's a month out, but it
Speaker 1: used to be even last minute. I get one hundred
Speaker 1: dollar ticket one way. Again, I'm talking about one way.
Speaker 1: I only get one way tickets because my day's usually
Speaker 1: changed when I come back and I like the flexibility.
Speaker 1: So I'm speaking of one way ticket. So yes, you
Speaker 1: can go to depending on where you you can go
Speaker 1: to Detroit or Atlanta, whatever, forty fifty bucks. They're not
Speaker 1: in a line. Now that's the standard seat. It might
Speaker 1: be one hundred and twenty for the comfort. It might
Speaker 1: be two fifty for the big seat. Now people again
Speaker 1: they saying, well, you might as well just go Delta. No,
Speaker 1: it's not might as well go Delta. I'm also looking
Speaker 1: at a non stop. When I go Southwest, I have
Speaker 1: an hour and a half sometime layover, and I don't
Speaker 1: want to spend my whole day flying, So I pick one.
Speaker 1: Where's the NonStop flight? Then what is the best option?
Speaker 1: So I will even pay more for Spirit for the
Speaker 1: big seat if it's NonStop, even if Delta offered less,
Speaker 1: but I had to stop. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So are you one of those people that don't really
Speaker 4: you don't really like flying like that?
Speaker 2: You just do it because it's just part of your
Speaker 2: you know on.
Speaker 1: Why like nonstops?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Not like NonStop. So I don't want to have to
Speaker 1: be in the airport all day if I can just
Speaker 1: get there in an hour and a half, why would
Speaker 1: I if I got to get up and take an
Speaker 1: hour and a half flight then stop and take spend
Speaker 1: two hours in another city, and then still gotta fly
Speaker 1: two hours to get where I'm going. That's my whole day.
Speaker 1: I've spent my whole day flying. It's not that I
Speaker 1: don't like flying. I fly every week. It's I want
Speaker 1: to be a fish for my time. I'm always gonna
Speaker 1: choose a direct flight, you know, over if I have
Speaker 1: if I must. Now, I used to pick Spirit Southwest
Speaker 1: even if I have to stop, because I pretty much
Speaker 1: fly on Southwest for free because I charge everything on
Speaker 1: my Southwest credit card. So every month I got a
Speaker 1: free ticket somewhere. But now it got to the point
Speaker 1: where I'm like, no, that's what this podcast about. Southwest.
Speaker 1: Y'all don't double y'all flights, you know, which means y'all
Speaker 1: double the point requirements. So what the hell? I might
Speaker 1: as well just start building up points with Spirit, which
Speaker 1: I this weekend I finally made it to silver status.
Speaker 1: I might as well go Spirit because y'all done doubled
Speaker 1: it up where now I'm not getting the value it's
Speaker 1: and I'm definitely not gonna get the value and got
Speaker 1: to stop, you know, and have a layover. So Sathwest
Speaker 1: y'all have to become like no point in me continue
Speaker 1: to keep and I charge a lot because I pay
Speaker 1: everything on Southwest. I don't give a shit if it's rent,
Speaker 1: if it's for my rent houses, if it's for five
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, if it's five dollars. I charge everything on
Speaker 1: Sabwest because I like to get that free we ticket
Speaker 1: every month. They got the best rewards program, but Spirit
Speaker 1: has got a good rewards program now, guys. For those
Speaker 1: of y'all like Delta, what I don't like about Delta
Speaker 1: is it takes too long to get points. I opened
Speaker 1: up a card with them, I was charging ten thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a month, and still I gotta charge thirty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars to get twenty thousand points, and that's crazy to me.
Speaker 1: So Delta doesn't have the best return, So I won't
Speaker 1: ever make it to the status that many of some
Speaker 1: of my friends are on with the you know, the
Speaker 1: top status which gets you the lounge and all that.
Speaker 1: But I don't need no lounge. I don't need all
Speaker 1: of that. I just need to get to where I
Speaker 1: need to get on a NonStop and I want the
Speaker 1: most return for my money. So up until this point,
Speaker 1: Southwest had the best return or my money, meaning points.
Speaker 1: I can get a one way ticket six thousand to
Speaker 1: ten thousand to thirteen thousand points, depending on where you're going.
Speaker 1: Delta's double that. But now Spirit is becoming very competitive
Speaker 1: with points. But again, they just got rid of the
Speaker 1: middle seat. So now it's like, I either do big seat,
Speaker 1: which is double the same thing with what I'll be
Speaker 1: paying on Delta or Southwest. So what's the point. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll keep y'all posted. I do like and
Speaker 1: some airlines have done this. I like this a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Delta's done this yet. But they're
Speaker 1: letting you use some of your points. It used to
Speaker 1: be all or nothing. So like, let's say it take
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand points to fly for free. Southwest used to have,
Speaker 1: but you either got all thirteen thousand or you don't.
Speaker 1: Now they got it. Well, okay, you got five thousand points,
Speaker 1: We'll give you fifty dollars for the five thousand, and
Speaker 1: we'll let you pay the difference. You know, they letting you,
Speaker 1: which I love that a lot. Spirit does that as well,
Speaker 1: So I'll be in Orlando, Spirit and Frontier. I'm not
Speaker 1: even to start out with Frontier but security only airline
Speaker 1: that goes direct to Atlanta. Well, no, they might know
Speaker 1: direct to Detroit direct. So I do some organizing still
Speaker 1: in Michigan. Like I told you, I keep my relationships forever,
Speaker 1: so I will see how that goes. So the point
Speaker 1: is of this of this thing. Guys, you see me
Speaker 1: talk a lot about flights. If you are in the
Speaker 1: flying and all that stay connected for that reason. I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to be in flights both person but I'm
Speaker 1: always paying attention. Now Southwest said, now you gotta pay
Speaker 1: for the bags. Hasn't been a big deal for me
Speaker 1: because I normally I always fly with a carry on.
Speaker 1: It's very rare that I actually have big luggage. I
Speaker 1: will have big luggage next time I fly because I'm
Speaker 1: moving some stuff back to you from Atlanta to Orlando
Speaker 1: nine times of ten. That doesn't affect me because I'm
Speaker 1: always with a carry on. Even if I go five days,
Speaker 1: I can fit everything in a carry on. Most of
Speaker 1: my clothes roll and fold up, you know. So I
Speaker 1: got my packing down a fishing you know, carry on
Speaker 1: in a bag. Unlike Michelle, she she packs the bag
Speaker 1: every time she checks in a bag every time, and
Speaker 1: it was just ridiculous to me, plain ridiculous. It's no point.
Speaker 1: You know, what are you checking in a bag for? Like,
Speaker 1: it's no point. That's another thing I don't do. I
Speaker 1: don't like when I get on the plane. I want
Speaker 1: to be able to get off the plane, go to
Speaker 1: my uber, you know, move on. I want to have
Speaker 1: to wait, no baggage clane, wait on. So my thing,
Speaker 1: Marcella's I just like time efficiency, like being a fishing
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm gonna be on the plane, damn
Speaker 1: there every week or every other week, for sure, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to make it an exhausting thing. You know
Speaker 1: you already got to go for me. I leave an
Speaker 1: hour ahead of time. I'm at the airport an hour.
Speaker 1: I don't do last minute rushing through the airport trying
Speaker 1: to look busy. I don't get bit she's so busy,
Speaker 1: you know, you just look disorganized, Bernie Sanders running through
Speaker 1: the airport, meme and all of it, like you're just
Speaker 1: so busy. You ain't that damn busy, You disorganized. You
Speaker 1: waited till last minute. You don't account for time and
Speaker 1: traffic and all of that. I don't like that. I
Speaker 1: like taking my time. I like knowing in case they
Speaker 1: switch gates, I got time to go to the next one.
Speaker 1: For example, I fly in and out of Detroit almost
Speaker 1: every other week. The Uber dropped me off at another
Speaker 1: termina that I didn't know existed in Detroit. Winning I said, this, look,
Speaker 1: this don't look familiar. I asked the lady at the gate,
Speaker 1: what's going on. This don't look familiar. Oh, yeah, they
Speaker 1: probably dropped you off at the Riverers. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: this don't look familiar. Now she saw where I was flying,
Speaker 1: she saw I was on Spirit. Let me go all
Speaker 1: the way through TSA and then I said, I'll be damn.
Speaker 1: This is a whole new So Detroit has a terminal
Speaker 1: like just for Delta. It's not like it. When I
Speaker 1: was telling lie, she said, yeah, that's like Atlanta. I said, no,
Speaker 1: Atlanta does have where you can drop off at Delta.
Speaker 1: Delta owns a big side of Atlanta because it's a hub.
Speaker 1: But I still can walk around and connect to other flights.
Speaker 1: Detroit has a whole airport almost like you know. I
Speaker 1: had to take a shuttle to get to my regular
Speaker 1: you know, terminal because I was early I had time
Speaker 1: to do that and got to the gate, spirits and
Speaker 1: over switching gates at the last minute, got to the gate,
Speaker 1: switch gates, and I still had time to go to
Speaker 1: my new gate and had time to get a sandwich.
Speaker 1: So I fly very efficient. I don't do this last
Speaker 1: minute crap. I cannot stand it, which is why I
Speaker 1: fly solo most times. I like sit down and get
Speaker 1: my glass of wine, use the restroom. I don't use
Speaker 1: the restroom on planes if I can absolutely avoid it,
Speaker 1: so I always want to make sure, you know, use
Speaker 1: restroom before I fly. You know all those things I got.
Speaker 1: It's a science, you know, down to how I do things.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to have this to say again.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Ricky's Mallley. Not only did he share
Speaker 1: it to the story, he posted it on his page.
Speaker 1: He is a big advocate for Spirit. Charlotte Maye Envy.
Speaker 1: I guess those of us from radio we always pushing
Speaker 1: what we liked. Charlott may Env always gonna push American
Speaker 1: airlines in Delta, and good for them. But I'm with
Speaker 1: Ricky on this. I want the best rate for my money.
Speaker 1: But Spirit y'all need to get it together. I'm very
Speaker 1: disappointed that the no middle seat. I paid for no
Speaker 1: middle seat last week and y'all switched it. Y'all should
Speaker 1: have still honored that for everybody who paid for it,
Speaker 1: so they didn't have the you know, they just switched it,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, now somebody's sitting by me
Speaker 1: in the middle seat. But I paid for the middle seat.
Speaker 1: So allegedly the comfy seat which used to be the
Speaker 1: no middle seat, is supposed to have more leg room,
Speaker 1: but that wasn't why I was booking, And I was
Speaker 1: booking it because I don't want a middle sea So
Speaker 1: we'll see, guys. I just want to do a quick
Speaker 1: update on that. Guys. Let me know your thoughts on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Let me know, like, is it is it am my tripping?
Speaker 1: Is Stathwest getting above themselves? Are they getting too uppity?
Speaker 1: What's up with y'all in these five hundred dollar flights
Speaker 1: like y'all Delta. They say now they want gonna add
Speaker 1: a lounge and they gonna do for first seating. I
Speaker 1: don't like none of that. I get to put my
Speaker 1: seat on eight plus so I get on the flight first.
Speaker 1: So y'all may not like the fact that it's no
Speaker 1: assigned seats. It works out for me because I'm the
Speaker 1: first person on the plane, so I get my seat choice. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm not liking Southwest. Go back to what y'all know best.
Speaker 1: Stop trying to be Delta. You're not Delta. You didn't
Speaker 1: have a pluge yet on all your planes. Y'all doing
Speaker 1: y'all getting getting there with the USBs. But let's just
Speaker 1: pipe it down and remember that you're Southwest. In the
Speaker 1: words of Charlemagne, the greyhound bust in the sky. That's what.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it great, greyhound, Let's keep it cute. Stop
Speaker 1: trying to be with you not We are with you
Speaker 1: for a reason. It's a reason why people go to
Speaker 1: Ross dress for less. Marcellis you going there to get discounts.
Speaker 1: I'm not going there for you to want to be sacks.
Speaker 1: Be who you are. That's a push. The line is
Speaker 1: all about, isn't it. Know your role? So I need
Speaker 1: Southwest to get it back together because you're gonna end
Speaker 1: up losing me as a customer, and not just as
Speaker 1: a customer flying, but as a credit card customer. You
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna end up. I guess I gotta get
Speaker 1: a car with spirit now because I'm always gonna want
Speaker 1: the most of my value. So that's today's episode. Guys,
Speaker 1: just want to do something on planes, y'all let me
Speaker 1: know plane trains out of mobile's all this got to
Speaker 1: do with a politics, marcellis always gotta do with terrorists,
