Speaker 1: know if that's the intentional decision on her part to

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: try and avoid the humiliation of having a trending episode

00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: for the most part, we haven't like really chased fireworks,

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: But anytime I've set one off next to their bed

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: while they were leap, they freaked out. That nightly occurren

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: there is a dog just real impersonal. I won't call

20
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: him my dog. There's a dog and he's going away.

21
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't know it yet, but that sounds so horrible.

22
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: Nothing I think about. Um. Number one story on everyone's

23
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: mind is that you dropped your phone this morning. Um.

24
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: And it is the rare story that we were talking

25
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: about off Mike, but I had to bring it on

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Mike because it is crazy. Yes, this is a monumental

27
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: story for the ages, and it is that this morning

28
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: as I was walking onto the elevator with the aforementioned dog,

29
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: So you know, my mind was little. I mean, he's

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: going on, that's why you are right. So, Um, I

31
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: was holding the dog's leege in one hand and I

32
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: was holding my phone in another head and the dog

33
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: moved and then the phone dropped from my hand into

34
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: the space between the elevator and the floor. And how

35
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: devastating is that, Like, it's so impressive. If you gave

36
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: me a hundred times to try to do that with

37
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: my phone, I would fail every time. So my theory

38
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: is that there's like part of you that is like

39
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: I want to get rid of my phone. I'm tethered

40
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: to work, or you know, or you just want the

41
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: new upgrade, and that part of you is also extremely

42
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: well trained and like possibly an assassin like Jason Bourne style.

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: There's a part of view that uh like has been

44
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: severed and is also just incredible, like in incredible command

45
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: of the spacetime exactly. I think that's it. I think

46
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: that's a very accurate. And you want to get rid

47
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: of that phone? I do, I do. And yeah, it's

48
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: like even if you tried a hundred times, you can

49
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: do it. Not a chance, not a chance. And it

50
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: was from pretty high up to so like there's a

51
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: lot of time and space for it to not fall

52
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: directly into the whole, but it just it did. You

53
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: kind of impressed, Like I don't think I'd even say,

54
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: oh no, I'd be like damn for three swish. I

55
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: was like in shock, But I think it was mostly

56
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: just being impressed at myself that my aim was that good.

57
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: It was all the assassin just like practice that I

58
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: think made that happen. It's very impressive. I'm willed by

59
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: your clumsiness. I dropped my phone. I've been dropping my

60
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: phone enough over the past twenty four hours that I'm

61
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: starting to worry, like maybe I have like something wrong

62
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: with me. Um is just I don't know I woke

63
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: up tired yesterday and like was my kids were like,

64
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: are your right? Like my four year old was literally

65
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: like are your right? You should keep dropping things, man,

66
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: Like what's going on? Um? So I don't know, we'll see,

67
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: but I feel like it comes in waves sometimes, like

68
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: you dropped one thing and then everything just starts actually falling,

69
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Like the same thing is happening to me right now.

70
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 1: No butter fingers yeah yeah. Um hey, speaking of things

71
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: that come in waves, King of the Transition, thank you. Um.

72
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: The coronavirus, the LA Times has a it's kind of

73
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: a weird story. It's like it seems like everyone's got

74
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: the DN coronavirus or something. Um, but they most of

75
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: the statistics are about how like overall the number of

76
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: people who have caught uh COVID like to date in California,

77
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: um specifically. But I have just noticed this just in

78
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: like you know, uh, work relationships, friendships, uh, like podcasts

79
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: I listened to. Everybody seems to be getting COVID like

80
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: right now. Like somebody who was bragging to me that

81
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: like they must have the like some something about them

82
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: that makes them impervious to COVID, Like they were ragging

83
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: about that to me less than a week ago. Uh,

84
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: just caught COVID. So it does feel like it's like,

85
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: all right, and now all the rest of you is

86
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: it is what's happening right now? Exactly exactly? Um yeah,

87
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: well we're also just talking about how neither of us

88
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: have gotten COVID yet. But yeah, in my mind, it's

89
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: transitioned from like, oh wow, I must be special. When

90
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: is it going to happen because they've seen a lot

91
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: of news as well. If so many people getting COVID

92
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: again are getting it for the first time, I am.

93
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: I saw on the internet that now that people aren't

94
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: masking on planes, the people who are sitting next to

95
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: those people who do have COVID and are just coughing

96
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: all over the place are testing positive to of no

97
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: fault of their own because mask mandates on planes have

98
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: been removed. Yeah we just gave up and ah, yes,

99
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: we'll see it's in this Early Times article. Is interesting

100
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: just from a like I don't know that they're interviewing

101
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: the people who have never gotten COVID like it's November

102
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: and their Trump voters like they're like weird people, like

103
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: what what so what are you like? Just way too

104
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: interested in them. Like at one point they interview somebody

105
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, I don't know, Like I I

106
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 1: feel like I've been very careful and therefore I remain

107
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: COVID free, but I don't know. It's like, well, are

108
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: you an epidemiologist? Why are we interviewing you just because

109
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: you haven't caught and you haven't caught COVID yet, Like

110
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: when I also saw Washington Post reporter like asking Twitter like, hey,

111
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: if you haven't caught COVID, like reach out to me,

112
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: Like like that's almost half of the population. Yeah, it

113
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: seems like tough services to find. Yeah, so these are

114
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: like conservatives who haven't gotten vaccinated and still think you know,

115
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: like no, I was just saying, it's like they're treating

116
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: it like Trump voters because the media is like obsessed

117
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: with them and like obsessed with telling their stories. Now

118
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: these are just randomly they're just asking them like what's

119
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: what's it? Like why do you why do you think

120
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: you haven't caught COVID, which basically what I asked you

121
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: before we started recording, like why do you think we

122
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: haven't got it? But that is I'm dumb, Like I'm

123
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: not a journalist. So I'm allowed to ask stuff like that. Yeah. Anyways,

124
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: hopefully you know, we just remain to the end of

125
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: days without catching COVID. Happy Bobby, been a day to you,

126
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: Thank you day to you two. I've been waiting all

127
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: years this day. Do you not in the least please?

128
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: So a day is the day on which eighties slugger.

129
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: So he's a baseball player in the nineteen eighties probably,

130
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: uh like at least a decade before you were born.

131
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: Uh was that was when he was at the peak

132
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: of his powers. And he um is now retired, has

133
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: been retired for a long time. He still gets over

134
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: a million dollars on July one every year until because

135
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: of a really bad contract that the Mets signed him

136
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: to um And so it's just it's just a day

137
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: to celebrate people getting I guess at one point one

138
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: nine million every year. Um And it's just I don't know,

139
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: I like thinking about Bobby Bonia going cashing that check,

140
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: uh every July one. So shout out to him, and

141
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: also shout out to the Mets who are bad at

142
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: what they do. All right, let's take a quick break

143
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. And we're back, and there's

144
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: more flooding in Yellowstone National Park. And yeah, this, I mean,

145
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: this was a story that we were like, this seems

146
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: like a once in a you know, lifetime generational weather

147
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: event a couple of weeks ago, and it's happening again. Yeah,

148
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: it just shocks me how often these disasters are happening now. Um.

149
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: Someone who works at the park said that this week's

150
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: flooding was by far the worst he had seen in

151
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: fifty years closing in the area, which is just like

152
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: also the one two weeks ago, it was like much better.

153
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: And what's going to happen in the next two weeks, Um,

154
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: they predict that part of the park is going to

155
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: remain closed for a few months. Um. There were houses flooded,

156
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: there were full grown trees um uprooted, and yeah, it

157
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: just seems like a pretty bad situation. So I've read

158
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: that the National Park Services kind of deciding at this

159
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: point which national parks they're going to conserve and which

160
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: ones they're kind of just kind of have to give

161
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: up on due to climate change. So they're kind of

162
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: carrying out this tree out of situation, which is really rough.

163
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: Especial Sheason's National Park land Um is already so crowded,

164
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: and access to green spaces becoming even more and more limited.

165
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: So it's already super crowded, and then as we lose

166
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: out on more and more of these spaces, people will

167
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: have less places to go. Yeah. It temperatures are rising

168
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: at twice the rate of the rest of the country

169
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: in National Park just because of like where they are,

170
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: and I guess there's like an in deserts and ships, right, Yeah,

171
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of them are higher altitude

172
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: and the rest of the country, so they're being affected first.

173
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, the photos are quite crazy. You can just

174
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: see the river kind of taking over all of the land. Yeah.

175
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: It always makes me think when I'm in a National

176
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: park or something or a state park now, like I

177
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: hope this is still here in the future, and I

178
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: feel even luckier to be able to enjoy him now.

179
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: I know. It's such a bummer to be like, yeah,

180
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: we we used to have these, um all right. So

181
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: when we were first talking about research for today's doc,

182
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: you were like, it just seems like this is all

183
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: basketball maybe um. And so you were just rattling off

184
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: some names that you saw trending, Malcolm Brogden, Mitchell something

185
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: which is Donovan, Mitchell, uh Danny Inge, Ben Simmons, Gary

186
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: Payton the second. So the first name is Malcolm Brogden.

187
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: He signed with the Celtics in a trade with like

188
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: a first round pick. I think the main reason he

189
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: is trending is because people are mad that he went

190
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: to the Celtics and not their team, because the Celtics

191
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: just traditionally from the beginning, have always been better at

192
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: like front office moves than everybody else. Sometimes they cheated

193
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: to do that in the case of like Red hour Back,

194
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: like he would do underhanded things that in retrospect people

195
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: are like, what a crafty guy, um. But anyways, in

196
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: the in this case, it's just like, oh man, I

197
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: wanted Malcolm Brogdon on my team, like, but all they

198
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: had to do was give up a pick. So that's

199
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: I think the overwhelming feeling on Malcolm Brogden is great

200
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: pick up for a team who I did not want

201
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 1: to see have great pickups. Mitchell something h Ak, Donovan Mitchell,

202
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: and Danny Inje trending. Danny Ainge is former Celtics President

203
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: of basketball Operations, now left to join the Utah Jazz.

204
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: He is a b y U grad A you know

205
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: a Utah native and he went to bring the Jazz

206
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: to the Promised Land and also just like not a

207
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: great guy. So he's trending because they just got six

208
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: first round picks for Rudy Gobert. Some people think it's

209
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: like the worst trade of all time, but like for

210
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: the team they traded him to um Minnesota. Then Donovan

211
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: Mitchell is trending because people are like, well, it seems

212
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: like the Jazz are blowing it up, and so they're

213
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: going to get rid of their best offensive player. They

214
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: just got rid of the best defensive player in the league,

215
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, and now they're going to get rid of

216
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: their best offensive player. And I've noticed that your head

217
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: has started nodding as you try not fall asleep. Um

218
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: so just it's it's fascinating stuff. Yes, but I saw

219
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert in my Twitter trending as well, so now

220
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: I know who he is. Yeah. Anyways, Uh, controversy. Controversial

221
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: stuff that has people talking about the Utah Jazz air

222
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: travel is did you were you ready to move on

223
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: from the NBA? Don't know. I would like you to

224
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: just keep going. Yeah, be like a nice catch up

225
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: on something no, thank you. That was very informative. All Right,

226
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: air travel is trending because it is going to be

227
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: the biggest air travel weekend of the year, um of

228
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: possibly the biggest air travel weekend since the pandemic. That's

229
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: what's being expected. Uh, and you know, major airlines have

230
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: continued to just cancel flights like yeah, like they're just

231
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: flaking on someone with no reel. They're just like, yeah, that,

232
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: by by the way, f y, that flight is not

233
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: happening anymore. Like that happened, Uh my mom when she

234
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: was flying out to visit us. I think it happened

235
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: to us when we were like flying back somewhere. It

236
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: just it seems kind of like they're just that we're

237
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: in a new era of air travel where it's like, yeah,

238
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: that none of this ship is guaranteed. Yeah, exactly. I've

239
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: heard of a lot of stories like that happening the UM.

240
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: I have a friend who's like, they just kept pushing

241
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: it back by two hours, two hours, two hours, So

242
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: he's sitting at the airport for eight hours and like,

243
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: what's happening And then they just canceled it and so

244
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: you ended up having to wait in the airport for

245
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: thirties six hours UM and no hotel, no first class upgrade, nothing.

246
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: But it's almost as if like, did you ever take

247
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: Spirit and Frontier, those like those budget airlines. Oh yeah

248
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: that so Spirit Airlines is I think the only airline

249
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: that flies from l A too directly to Pittsburgh, which

250
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: is where my wife is from. So it is like

251
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: it I feel like on those flights especially, they're like,

252
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: are you going to do complain? Yeah, we're gonna We're

253
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: gonna treat you with spite exactly exactly. I feel like

254
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the airlines as well are adopting that spirit. Yeah,

255
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: your spirit is stching on contos. Yeah. So yeah, the

256
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: f a A are blaming the airlines. The airlines are

257
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: blaming the f a A. Um, pilots are blaming the airlines.

258
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: I think it's probably airlines. They're the corporations that are

259
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: it's in their interest to over promise under deliver, and

260
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: it seems like they're over committing their staff to um

261
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: amounts of work that are illegal, probably for a good reason.

262
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: So anyways, I have after reading a Twitter thread from

263
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: like somebody who worked in the airline industry, and they

264
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: were like they just seemed like genuinely like, hey, like

265
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want everybody to like have the

266
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: awful time that everybody seems to be having these days

267
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: on the on the flight. So here's what you do.

268
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: Like the big overwhelming thing that I took away, and

269
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: I think it was their first piece of advice was

270
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: don't fly if you can possibly avoid it, Like that

271
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: was what they said. Essentially. They were like, if if

272
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: it's the difference between like a nine ten hour drive

273
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 1: and flight, like do the ten hour drive? Yeah. Yeah,

274
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: it's such a crisis too because now everyone's like I

275
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: don't want to drive because gases so right, and then

276
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: like if you decide to fly, it's this chaos and

277
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: just meditating to day home. Yeah, meditate you can go

278
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: so many places in your mind. Exactly right. All right, Well, Tricia,
