1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Keon and.

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 2: This is your host Riley, your favorite Okay storytelling hosts,

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 2: and we've got some great stories coming up from you.

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: But before that, we have a two minute break from

5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: the sponsors that keep the show alive.

6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: The Worst Airport Nightmares Bad PV three says, Okay, this

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: is not what you were looking for, but here we go.

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: I work at an airport for a major air carrier.

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: One day a few years ago, I walked through the

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 2: hangar and there is a seven five seven parked inside

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: with the doors closed, and there are like five general

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: managers and a couple of directors in suits staring at

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: the plane. There's a couple of mechanics on the side

14
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: of it, and then I asked them, what the heck's

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 2: going on? One of them replies, deadpan, Cheetah's loose on

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: the plane. It's the what the how does that even happen?

17
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Cheetah's loose on the plane, like the Cheetah girls, Cheetah Power.

18
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: What had happened was they were transporting to cheetahs from

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: a zoo in Oregon to Saint Louis.

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Of course this is in Saint Louis.

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: When one of them got free in the cargo hold.

22
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: The baggage handler goes to open the door and almost

23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: looses is an arm before he can shut it again.

24
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: So there we sit trying to think of a way

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: to get the door open without letting an angry cheetah

26
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: loose in a confined room. Oh yeah, on top of that,

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: there is a heart on board for a transplant.

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: So that's got to get out of there. Oh is

29
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: it in the cargo hold? The heart as well?

30
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: Okay, think of the person that's waiting on the heart.

31
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: I thought the hearts normally sit in the inside the

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 3: plane with the people.

33
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like a priority like package.

34
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: That someone like, I thought that just sits inside.

35
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: N they didn't pay. They didn't pay that it's in.

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: The cargo hold, where like the cheetah is confined in

37
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: which is okay, it has zoomies. Sure. Also, why do

38
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: we the only people we have here are like general managers,

39
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: business people are like heads of something. Why don't we

40
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: have like, I don't know, the zoo people here. Yeah,

41
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: like a vet.

42
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like it'd be pretty quick to get

43
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: a vet into dardom.

44
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: I think a little syringe would help a lot here.

45
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: You can't get close enough for that.

46
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: That's what they do.

47
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: They start them a projectile syringe.

48
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: That's what I meant by dark.

49
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: We have to get it before the thing gets angry curious.

50
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: Eventually we call the zoo and they cracked the door

51
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: and tranquilized the poor thing. Caught them off. Heart goes

52
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: on its way and we all live to tell about it.

53
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: I have picks somewhere.

54
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

55
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 4: That is the wildest day of work ever. That's the

56
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: first story we read. Yes, and guys, we have more

57
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: stories just like this. It's a little different than are

58
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: other stories where we read airport nightmares from you, guys

59
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 4: and from other people online.

60
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: So stick with us.

61
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm Riley, I'm Keon, I'm Carly.

62
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: And we're here to read crazy stories from airports and

63
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: you're here to comment what you think about them. Fun story,

64
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: we had an emu running free across from our school

65
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: and the local police department had to shoot it because

66
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: our buses couldn't run.

67
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: They had to shoot the help. I hope they had

68
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: tranquilized it. Those things are dinosaurs. Have you ever seen

69
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: a guinea like not a person, but like a picture,

70
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: But I know they're Yeah.

71
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: My friend in elementary school had one. He had a

72
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: couple on his on his phone, but the coyotes always

73
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: got to him.

74
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: Oh.

75
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 2: Marana May says, I got flagged for random tsa pat down,

76
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: and the age asked me if I had any metal

77
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: in my body, to which I said, I have I

78
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: U D. The agent freaks out and starts flagging the

79
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: other agent.

80
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Sof oh this is going.

81
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: He's like, oh my god, oh my god. She musters

82
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: all her calm and says, please repeat that you have

83
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: an i E D on you, to which I had

84
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: to say, no, I haven't. I U D a copper

85
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: urinary device for birth control. Oh that's what that means. Yeah,

86
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: she didn't know what a I U D was. I

87
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: bet she'll remember now for birth control. There's implanting bombs

88
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: in people's arms.

89
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: That line from the movie Rush Hour too, where it

90
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: like they're both Chris Tucker and Jackie Channer yelling the bomb.

91
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: She's the bomb.

92
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: Also, resident female doctor. IUDs are not in the arm.

93
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: Some more that's an implant, Go up, you're up there.

94
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: But some they do have Okay, well, what's that one called.

95
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: What's the initials for that implant?

96
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: They just call it implant.

97
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: It's something, it's something else, but this is obviously not

98
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: an intra uterine entry.

99
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: Abby Skittl says at the agency scene in Ethiopia, flight

100
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: was overbooked and I was volunteered by the airline to

101
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: take the next flight five days away out of Africa.

102
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: No money left, no phone or internet, no place to stay,

103
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: and I don't speak I'm Hurrik, I'm Hark, I'm Ark,

104
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: and I don't speak the local language. I had also

105
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: been living in a little more than a mud hut,

106
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: so I didn't know how to get back. First time

107
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 2: I ever decided to be that customer, but through a

108
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: fit at the poor check in woman and made all

109
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: the other passengers in line aware that I was only

110
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: sixteen and in this situation wasn't getting anywhere until a

111
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: call came in for me at the check and desk.

112
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: It was the pilot of the plane. Some kind of

113
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: passenger had alerted him to the fact that I was

114
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: being left alone, and he called to say that if

115
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: I could get on the plane in five minutes, I

116
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: could sit in his extra chair in the cockpit all

117
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: the way to Amsterdam. I sprin met the pilot, tears

118
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: all over my face, only to find a woman in

119
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 2: a Burberry scarf had decided to give up her seat

120
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: to take the next flight so that she could spend

121
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: more time with her son in Ethiopia. Her seat was

122
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: in first class. Crazy day. Oh my god, dang, I

123
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: would not know what to do at sixteen in that situation.

124
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 1: A co pilot without yeah, you can be a co pilot,

125
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: but like, don't wry about it.

126
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: Just don't touch any buttons.

127
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: See that big red button. Don't press it.

128
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: That's a risk.

129
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: I have a crazy airport story. I think I've said

130
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: it on the stream before. Dakota and I we want someone.

131
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: It's on my it's from a friend's perspective. Oh yeah,

132
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: my friend who you may have met, named Nick.

133
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: No.

134
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: He went to school in Arizona. There he had a

135
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: couple puwpews. Oh, he drove home with them. He lives here,

136
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: and then he was flying back and he forgot that

137
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: he had a pewpew in his backpack.

138
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: Still, that is my absolute worst nightmare, even though I

139
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: never carry one everywhere so or anywhere, I never even

140
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: ever carry one.

141
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: It's funny because he has in his backpack. He's going

142
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: through security and he takes off all the metal and everything. Sure,

143
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: and the thing goes like we have like the to

144
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: screen you, and he immediately goes, oh f me. He's like,

145
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: I know exactly what it is. It's his pew pew

146
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: listen guy. And to also add to this, to some context,

147
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: he's Persian. So he just talks to like the TS

148
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: Saints like so like, can you just throw that away?

149
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: Can I still go on my flight? And they go, no,

150
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: You're going to jail. It's like one of the biggest

151
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: illegal things.

152
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: Can throw it away. No.

153
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: He's like, get like do I get do it on

154
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: my flight? Nope, straight to jail. But like yeah, they

155
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: did some questioning. He ended up not like really going

156
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: to jail, but like doing community service. He now like

157
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: triple checks like everything, like every bag, like, uh, to

158
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: take it out, take it out. That's my story for him, dude,

159
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: great guy, nice guy, lovely God. He just messed up.

160
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: And he's just like forgot because he was like his

161
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: normal backpack that he always had it him and he

162
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: just forgot. And it wasn't like a big one. It

163
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: was just like a small one.

164
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, but still, dude, you've probably met him.

165
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: I know who you're talking about. Yeah, Uber Fraser says,

166
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: I overslept effort going on a one night solo bender

167
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: after a twenty day business trip in New Orleans, and

168
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: was rushing to get through the airport.

169
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: She said that correctly, No Orleans, N Orleans.

170
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: With a mighty hangover and no time to spare, I

171
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: chugged a bottle of water as I power walked to

172
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: my gate. When I got there, I missed the fly,

173
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: but they transferred my ticket to another fly leaving in

174
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: eight minutes on the other side of the terminal. Oh gosh, I.

175
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: Help, you're the flash. Time to sprint.

176
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: I ran across the terminal, made the flight just as

177
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: the folks were getting on, breathing like an ape with

178
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: COPD and smelling twice as bad. I took my seat

179
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: right next to a really hot chick.

180
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: Yes, it's pertinence of the story, you know.

181
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: All Right. Five minutes into taxi, I power vomit the

182
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: water I had just drank into the airsick bag.

183
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: Could you imagine, just dripping sweat, looking pale like I

184
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: made it. I made it. I made it. Hot chick

185
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: next to me, Hi, excuse me? Sorry. Then I was

186
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: like the last person on board by the way and

187
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: just hurling all of.

188
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: That, which proceeded to leak all over the floor. Oh,

189
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: I couldn't deal with it because of the seatbelt restrictions.

190
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: Eventually a stewards climbed out and took it with a

191
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: look of dismay. I fell asleep and snort. Yep, I

192
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: was that guy.

193
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: I've had those encounters where like, you just had a

194
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: rough night and you go to the airport, You're like,

195
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: you had to wake up really early get there, not

196
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: this bad where you like you kind of plan Like

197
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm always one of those people who I'm like, I'm

198
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: never late to the airport.

199
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: He's like, to everything else about the airport, get to

200
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: a party an hour late, but I'm gonna show up

201
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 2: four hours before my flight leaves.

202
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: It's true.

203
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: Sorry, my parents engraved that to me both things. That's

204
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: my dad with the airports and that's my mom with

205
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: being late with the party thing. Yeah, luckily you made it, dude.

206
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: Is everyone gonna remember that? Probably?

207
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: I feel like the cherry on top is a hot

208
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: chack part wasn't even partin to the story.

209
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: It being a hot chick doesn't change how just awful

210
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: it is for anyone yeah.

211
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: Wait, at least you didn't like ruin the flight by

212
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: pooping your pants.

213
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: You say that like you've done that.

214
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: No, you have you heard about that crazy story?

215
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

216
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: Have you heard about that pooping where someone had to poop,

217
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: like use the restroom but they couldn't, And because it

218
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: was like someone was ready in the bathroom on the

219
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: plane while it's in the air, someone pooped their pants

220
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: and they ground. They had to ground the flight because

221
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: it was so bad.

222
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: Well, flights are just air buses in my opinion.

223
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: See Megan Ryan understands.

224
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: The whole flight sucks, but at least there was a

225
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: hot chick. Yeah right, hello hot chick. So Firefall says

226
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: twenty ten. I took a job that required me to

227
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: travel all over from Korea, Japan to Europe from Washington,

228
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: d C. My first overseas trip was to Hawaii and

229
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: have never been there before. I was super excited. Connecting

230
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: flight was a Salt Lake minimum layover and we boarded

231
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: without incident. I had a window seat next to a

232
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: quiet Japanese man who also seemed to be traveling for business.

233
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: The plane departed without incident. About thirty minutes into the flight.

234
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: The worst odor I have ever had the displeasure of

235
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: smelling crept through the cab?

236
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: Do we think someone either A pooped their pants or

237
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: B have smelly food on them?

238
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: C sitting behind Dakota.

239
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 2: Everyone type your letter right now, A, B or C.

240
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: So A is hitting behind the coat of that bad

241
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 2: Ask her you.

242
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: Don't stop farted.

243
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 2: I can believe it.

244
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: This was the flight to Bali. You don't remember this.

245
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: I wasn't behind him.

246
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 3: I know I was the only one.

247
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 2: Sorry, Corly, it was painfully obvious that this stinch was

248
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: permeating as people started jousting in their seats and looking about.

249
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: Japanese man looked up for the first time from his book,

250
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: looked at me and gave me that god awful smell

251
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: coming from you. Look quickly shook my head no, and

252
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: we both, as if planned, proceeded to lift collars of

253
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: our shirt and cover our noses. It was effing terrible.

254
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: The stench was not something you got used to smelling. Finally,

255
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: the flight attendants got around to our row with the

256
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: food and drink cart. The attendant looked like she hit

257
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: an invisible wall, and her face went from jolly to

258
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: not so jolly in zero seconds. She started looking around,

259
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 2: wondering where the putrid odor was coming from. This was

260
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: the final straw for the man and the father, combo

261
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: directly behind me, the sun mid forties fifties, finally realized

262
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: that he wasn't going to be able to pretend to

263
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 2: smell was coming from anyone other than this eighties father anymore.

264
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: They both got up in unison, put their hands up

265
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: in the fence, and apologized to no one in particular.

266
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: Oh okay, the son helped his dad get situated in

267
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: the aisle and prepare for the journey back to the bathroom.

268
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: The old man had crapped his pants.

269
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was poopy. Someone poop their pants.

270
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Someone poop their pants.

271
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: He was just letting him sit in his own poop.

272
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think he knew. Maybe because he is

273
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: his father's older.

274
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 3: He stood up right away and knew that it was

275
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: coming from his dad.

276
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm just saying some people sometimes think it's gotta

277
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: be a fot, sometimes a tut.

278
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 3: No, I know. I'm just saying. We didn't. We didn't shut.

279
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: He had unleashed a flood of diarrhea all over himself

280
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: and it was dripping down the seats into the floorboard

281
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: and had to run all over its cruising as a

282
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: pain and turned into approach its cruising altitude.

283
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Is this the flight I was wondering?

284
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: Is this the night I thought it was a girl?

285
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: It was a girl. You're right, but still this is

286
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: very similar to what I was literally just talking about.

287
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 3: Can you imagine you pick your bag up your carry

288
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: on if.

289
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: You don't even say that, don't even say that covert.

290
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: Stop it's getting geographic.

291
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 3: No, that's getting you guys, are baby google g dude.

292
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: When he stood up, it was like getting hit in

293
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: the face by a bat. The already absolutely disgusting oder

294
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: gut times more potent. Just want me to read the

295
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: rest of this was so effing bad. About twenty five people,

296
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: myself included, got up from our seats and walked up

297
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: into the next section of seating. We couldn't stand it

298
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: at all. Drinking food service was temporarily suspended, and the

299
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: poor flight crew spent about an hour and a half

300
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: cleaning up the mess, changing cushions, vacuuming, and hosing the

301
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: area down with some deodorizer.

302
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: I've never experienced something that bad like I've experienced like babies,

303
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: like and it happens like babies do that because you

304
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: have a change of diaper.

305
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a.

306
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 3: Baby, but this is an old old man.

307
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: This is an older baby, older baby. I feel bad

308
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: for them, but like also, I feel bad for Opie

309
00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: and everyone else in that area.

310
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: Turned to our seats and the in flight service is resumed.

311
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: The dad and son pooh combo did it return to

312
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: their seats for another twenty minutes. He was changed, and

313
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: seems everything was gonna be okay. It was at this

314
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: time the smell came back again. No, the old man

315
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: had shat himself again.

316
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: Ooah.

317
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: The entire effing process respeeded itself again. The entire effing

318
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: process repeated itself again.

319
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: Ah LP to our listeners, no no, no, no, no, no,

320
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: no no.

321
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: His new seat is in the toilet. He has to

322
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: stay in there the rest of the flight. All of

323
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 2: this happened within the first three hours of an almost

324
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: eight hour flight. It was my first experience in any

325
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: flight this long, and it was by far the worst

326
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: experience I have ever had in any form of public transport.

327
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: He literally said, Wow, I'm so happy we cleaned that

328
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: all up. Everything's clean. Let me ruin that for you

329
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: one more time. At least, he nodded. At least you

330
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: can do it quicker again. You can do this quicker.

331
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: You know what you're doing.

332
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 3: At least you'll probably never have a flight that bad.

333
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: Out of came I'm gonna need a second.

334
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: Oh my, I can read the rest, I can read

335
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: the name. O that's gross. He's gonna go do with that?

336
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Not once, but twice in probably a span of it

337
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: seemed like twenty minutes.

338
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 3: I think it said it took them like an hour

339
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: and a half to clean it, didn't it.

340
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: They said they were turned like, oh, maybe they were

341
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: still in the back for twenty minutes. But even then,

342
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: even with like an eight hour flight, and this happens

343
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: twice within three hours, Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

344
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: I would be like jay.

345
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 3: Crew spent an hour and a half cleaning up the mess,

346
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: and then the sun returned another twenty minutes later. I

347
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: have terrible luck on planes, but nothing this crazy.

348
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like anything that I've experienced

349
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: that it's pretty bad.

350
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: I had a kid in front of me on a

351
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: flight about two years ago, kept like reaching back to

352
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: like grab my leg or like anything that I was

353
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: holding or like going here my bag.

354
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a like an infant, I don't know, like three, Okay.

355
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: I have a picture of her at the end of

356
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: the flight where she pushed my bag out from under

357
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: my seat and was crawling under into mice.

358
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: That's kind kind of cute.

359
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: No, it was not cute. Oh this was a red eye.

360
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, never mind, this was a six hour red

361
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: eye back to Jersey. She kept me up all night

362
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: doing that and then proceeded to push my bag out

363
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: of the way and play. She wasn't cute.

364
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Oh well, I always have good luck with kids on

365
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: flights because they're like sitting in front of me, and

366
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: I always just like peekaboo with them.

367
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: Well, this one would have touched your knee for six

368
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: hours straight.

369
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: I'd been like, excuse me, ma'am.

370
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 3: Nope, didn't listen, didn't talk to me, parents would not

371
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: acknowledge me.

372
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 2: I would have been like, excuse me, stewardess, take this monkey away.

373
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: This little one over here needs to stop.

374
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: I recently had a person who I'm pretty sure was

375
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: on heavy substances sitting next to me. We had the

376
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 3: middle seat empty. I was so excited there was no

377
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: kids around me. It was gonna be the best flight ever.

378
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: She laid down and eventually like scooted so far up

379
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: that her head was on my lap. And no matter

380
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: how much I pushed her or got a flight attendant

381
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: or anything, she would not sit up. She would not move.

382
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: Her legs were hanging out into the aisle onto the

383
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 3: person across the aisle, and they kept coming over because

384
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 3: they'd be like, we're gonna land soon, like you need

385
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: to sit up, and she was not comprehending all.

386
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: I made a friend.

387
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: The stortises all thought that I was with her for

388
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: a while, like we were friends, and I was like,

389
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: I don't know this lady.

390
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: But guys, we got another freaking story right now. Andy's

391
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: Kat says during the VIDs restriction times, nobody could fly

392
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 2: unless you had a good reason. I was flying back

393
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: from the US to the UK because my dad was

394
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: passing away. In order to fly, you had to have

395
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: the VID negative certificate that was dated within forty eight

396
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: hours of your flight takeoff time testing was not local

397
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: at that point, and the logistics were a nightmare. Anyway,

398
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: I turn up at Chicago, six hour journeys from home,

399
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: clutching my certificate, only to find out at the gate

400
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: that this certificate was incorrectly dated and they wouldn't let

401
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: me board. I rang the laboratory in California and explained

402
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: my dire predicament. Boarding had almost finished for my flight.

403
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: The lab tech I spoke with went above and beyond

404
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: to help me and message me a corrected VID certificate.

405
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: I was literally lasted to my fly and we took

406
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: off minutes after I was seated. I just made it

407
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 2: back in time with my dad to say goodbyes. I've

408
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 2: never been so stressed, that is.

409
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: I did work in the airline industry for a little

410
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: bit and I did deal with this, Yeah, where we

411
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: just got emails, calls, everything, because especially during this time.

412
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: Also say, it was a Japanese airline, so restrictions for

413
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: especially for Japan were so intense, and I got emails

414
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: literally the situation I have my parent is passing away

415
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: or a loved one is passing away. I need to

416
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: go home. It's really hard. I would say, OPI is

417
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: extremely lucky that one he was able to contact the

418
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: lab that quick and they updated it so fast. Yeah,

419
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: because if you didn't have that, they're not letting you

420
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: on no matter what. They don't care. You can give

421
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: them you like, you're like, this is like for death situation.

422
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: They don't care. It's like it's just the restrictions, the

423
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: amount of things that I had to like say, oh,

424
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: I can't do anything to help you. I'm so sorry,

425
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: to the most like intense like things I've ever heard of,

426
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: Like I feel so bad, I can't help you. I'm

427
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: so sorry. It's just one of those things. It does suck.

428
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: Nay twenty three seven says plane shot by lightning what

429
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 2: scary as E f ropped a little screamed like a witch.

430
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: This happened to me once stop it shut up. Naw yeah,

431
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: huh yoah. During around the time of the VID, I

432
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: was on a short two hour flight and we were

433
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 3: over a big lake and we got struck and you

434
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 3: can see it. It has like a thing to kind

435
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 3: of like re route the lightning like off of the plane.

436
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: But you could tell that something like went wrong. And

437
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 3: I had a window seat and I was watching it

438
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 3: and we kind of just went like really fast, and

439
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: I was like looking out the window was like, I

440
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: think it just got struck by lightning. And then they

441
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 3: confirmed that's crazy. I told you I had a plane flight. No,

442
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: keon wasn't. I didn't live here yet.

443
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: I thought, like, you get hit by the like lightning,

444
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: and you're you and you're done.

445
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 3: Now they have stuff to reroute it.

446
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: They have like a conductor. It's crazy.

447
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 3: It was like I was like that was either really

448
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: close to us or that just fully hit us and

449
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: like hummed off of us.

450
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: Damsel says, I had a middle seat on this flight,

451
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: which always sucks, but in this case it really sucked.

452
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: When I got to my seat, the window seat was

453
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: taken by this quiet, shy guy, who I just acknowledged

454
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 2: with a small smile before taking my own seat. Then

455
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: this lady comes on board. While I'm not a skinny woman,

456
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: this woman obviously was large enough to need two seats.

457
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: On top of that, she had a crying, fussy toddler

458
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: with her that was traveling as a lap child.

459
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: Oh double no.

460
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: In order to accommodate this lady, I was practically sitting

461
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: on shy guy's lap and we just kept looking at

462
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: each other with white eyes as a woman tried to

463
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: get settled. After the stewardess got her a seat belt extender,

464
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: she hands her kid over to me and this guy

465
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: without a word. I think we were both too shocked

466
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: to do anything but stare at this blubbering child handing

467
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: your child over to a stranger. It might have been

468
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: different if she had asked, or if she only had

469
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: done it to get her seatbelt on, But throughout the

470
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: flight she kept trying to hand this kid over to us.

471
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: Nah, that's crazy. Hey just pulled him for like the

472
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: entire flight.

473
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 2: It was the most uncomfortable flight.

474
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: The stewardess couldn't help you, like switch seats or swap seats.

475
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 2: Does the steward does not have a daycare on board?

476
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: What's the airline industry doing? You're the one that worked

477
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: for it, and that's why I'm asking it. And why

478
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: do you think I'm not there anymore?

479
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: That's not why on fly childcare that solved a lot

480
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 2: of problems. They just take them to the cargo. They

481
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: just take me to the cargo to hang out.

482
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you're going, you're going in the

483
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: right direction. Wrong direction.

484
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 3: It's all the double decker planes. They come back and

485
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: the upstairs is just open daycare.

486
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 2: Run around, dude, open daycare, run around with a little

487
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: like slide and play area.

488
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 3: Except for the fact that you need seatbelts, so that

489
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: really wouldn't I.

490
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: Would just say good luck to anybody who's up there.

491
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: On the eve of war says. I was twenty years

492
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: old and headed to Spain from California study abroad for

493
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: six months.

494
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: Is this me.

495
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: I had never been out of the country, so I

496
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 2: was nervous but really excited. My flight was from San

497
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: Francisco to London, where I was catching another flight into Madrid.

498
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 2: Fly out of s F gets heavily delayed, and I

499
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 2: realized there's no way I'm gonna make my second flight.

500
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: I landed London, I have another flight to Madrid. I

501
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: land in Madrid around nine PM. Go get my suitcase

502
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 2: and it's lost.

503
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: Oh boy, because it's probably because your first initial flight

504
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: it transferred to you. Oh boy, I hope not.

505
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: But I only had a backpack with me that had

506
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: some assorted items. They tell me they will send my

507
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: bag to me in Sevilla, where I was staying. So

508
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: I rushed to the train station and literally watched the

509
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: last train leave this station for Sevilla, where I was

510
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: meeting up with my program at a hotel. So it's

511
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: midnight and I'm at a train station. My first time

512
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: outside of the country with no bags, no cell phones,

513
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 2: and nowhere to stay. I tried calling my family but

514
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: couldn't even operate the payphones. Directions were in Spanish, and

515
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 2: I didn't know how to dial internationally, et cetera.

516
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: I had some people in my study a bot program

517
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: like this, like that was their first time out of

518
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: the country. They like, they have no idea. There was

519
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: a stop it.

520
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy, Like, we're not all as clo

521
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: as you keion.

522
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 2: The only things I've ever been out of the country

523
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: is with Okay, Stuart Zone's.

524
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: Kind it's kind of crazy right now. Imagine doing it

525
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: by yourself and no one there to really help you.

526
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: That's what Hope's going through.

527
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the first time.

528
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, Yeah, when you travel, it's crazy. If

529
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: if you're traveling for the first time to another place,

530
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: it's good to make sure you have I guess a

531
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: backup plan. Is probably the most stressful twenty four hours

532
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: Opie's ever really like experienced.

533
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: Only way to do that is by learning. Yeah, my

534
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 2: parents got contacted by the program because I had it

535
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 2: shown up. My parents freaked out. I sat on a

536
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: bench and waited until the next morning. To catch a

537
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: train at around seven am. I contacted my parents. Once

538
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: I got to Sevilla, Savilla, Savilla, my suitcase showed up

539
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 2: a week later. It was extremely stressful forty eight hours.

540
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know exactly that pain, Like not personally, but

541
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: I for friends that you can tell it was not fun.

542
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: But this is this is an experience that you know

543
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: when you do go to another country in the future,

544
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: how to prepare, what to do, what you need.

545
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: Just in case if I really want to study abroad,

546
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: I'm just going to find the closest house to me,

547
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: figure out how to say, will you host me? And

548
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 2: until hosts me, I will get a job with them,

549
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 2: work with them, and then I would just immerse myself

550
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: into that. I would just infiltrate someone, some family's life.

551
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I did for some of your road

552
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: pretty much. Yeah, the the program helped you stay with

553
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: like people there, like it was a small town where

554
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: I was staying. But pretty much I had a study

555
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: abroad mom and a study of broad brother shout out

556
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: to them, Oh wow, they were cool.

557
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: Did you have to call them mom and dad?

558
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: I called them by their their names, but they treated

559
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: me like I was their son. Like she would always

560
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: cook me meals and check on me and text me,

561
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: and they were very sweet. And she to this like,

562
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: I had a friend who his one of his buddies

563
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: went the next semester and she was his mom. And

564
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: she talked about me the entire time.

565
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: Stop it.

566
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, what would you do to for her?

567
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: Nothing?

568
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: Just no, it's just very sweet. I was a good

569
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: I was a good just good, a good boy. I'm

570
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: a good boy. I would come home late, but I

571
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: in Spain, coming home late was like five am anyway,

572
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: and she was used to it. But I also got

573
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: her gifts and like treated them to like dinner and stuff.

574
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: Ok. I was good guy.

575
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: Shout out to Monsats if you're out there listening. She

576
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: was a great homestay mom.

577
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go stay with their.

578
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Now us, your veteran says. Our family booked a cruise

579
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: departing on August sixteenth to twenty fifteen. We were flying

580
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: out of Reagan that morning to catch the ship in

581
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale by five pm. The day before, an update

582
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: to the FAA's e RAM system led to most flights

583
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: along the East Coast being canceled, So we show up

584
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: Sunday morning for our ten am ish flight at about

585
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: seven in the morning. It's a fine thousands of people

586
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: at Reagan on standby, and spent nearly the entire three

587
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: hours before a flight just trying to make our way

588
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: through ticketing, through security and getting to the terminal stop it.

589
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: By that time we arrived, they'd already given our tickets away.

590
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: What you can't do that, well, they did.

591
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: If you don't check in, they can.

592
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: That's why you always check in before your flight, really, yeah,

593
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: just to me, Yeah.

594
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes I check in on the way to the fly.

595
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Oh, because it also helps you get seats and everything

596
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: if you don't have a sign seats Okay. So we

597
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: were in a position where our luggage made the flight,

598
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: but we didn't, and because there were so many people

599
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: on standby, we couldn't find another fight to make it

600
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: to the ship on time. After about another six hours

601
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: or so of running from the one side of the

602
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: airport to the other to try and get on a

603
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: flight to somewhere in Florida, we did eventually get a

604
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: flight to Miami that landed around six pm. We got

605
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: to see our ship sailing away as we came down

606
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: for landing.

607
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 2: No stop.

608
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: We rented a van, drove up and got our luggage,

609
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: drove through the night to Atlanta to get expedited passports

610
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: so we could fly from Atlanta to Puerto Rico and

611
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: catch the ship there. That whole situation was a nightmare.

612
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: We don't fly the day of a cruise anymore. Yeah,

613
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say.

614
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: Do that.

615
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do that. You had a plan when you travel,

616
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: like if things happen or like delays or like a

617
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: weather delay or airport delay or airplane delay, something along

618
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 1: those lines, you have enough space to map it out.

619
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: That's why, Like whenever I see like a layover, if

620
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: it's an hour, I'm like, that's too that's cutting it

621
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: too close. You never know what's gonna happen.

622
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: Dude, takes flight, got did it? Got delayed an hour

623
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: last night.

624
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: At LAX shocking. But you didn't have like a layover flight,

625
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: didn't you direct? O? Good?

626
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: Okay, NonStop?

627
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: We fly in the day before and stay in a hotel.

628
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: Smart Again, This sounds like a lot of like experience.

629
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, don't don't do that.

630
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 3: I'm confused about the passport part.

631
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: Well, they had I guess they had a cruise at

632
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 2: like different places.

633
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 3: All right, So wouldn't you have already needed that passport.

634
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 3: You don't need a passport on a cruise.

635
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: Take one on a cruise to different places. And he

636
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: didn't need a passport.

637
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: You need a passport to go to Puerto Rico.

638
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: We went to Mexico when like things like that. Didn't

639
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: need a passport, I know.

640
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 3: But these guys went to Puerto Rica.

641
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: Probably to fly, yeah, because that's where the cruise is

642
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: probably going. And I think the crew like the cruise ship.

643
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: You don't need your passport.

644
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: I know.

645
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: I was asking if you needed one to fly into

646
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: a territory.

647
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,000

Speaker 1: What did you find?

651
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,199
Speaker 3: The flight that I had over the summer when I

652
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: was coming back from the fourth of July and the

653
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: kid was screaming really loud.

654
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: Sure is he saying lave booboo?

655
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 3: No, he's just screaming.

656
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: Sounds like saying laved booboo.

657
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 3: He's saying no, but he sounds like the Tasmanian devil.

658
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a little dog yahing And.

659
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 3: He did not stop.

660
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

661
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: See, Danny Cole were on this same wave line. Okay,

662
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 3: so you don't need a passport for it.

663
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: Maybe the cruise is going to other islands, right, but.

664
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: Then you would have had one ahead of time. Yeah,

665
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: it's weird, Like I don't get why you had to

666
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 3: go back to Atlanta to fix something with a passport

667
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: to fly to Puerto Rico where you shouldn't need a

668
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 3: passport if you didn't already need one for the rest

669
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 3: of the ports and the cruise.

670
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: When it comes to traveling, you need to know, like

671
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: did you see.

672
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: They just changed They just you now need a real ID.

673
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah I have that, No, I know.

674
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: But if they officially finally set it in after years

675
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 3: of saying that they would, because.

676
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: It's supposed to happen like twenty nineteen.

677
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but if you don't have one, you pay

678
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: like forty five dollars and they just background check you.

679
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: Really, yeah, user, I have no comments, says I was

680
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: finally leaving the Middle East after having been deployed since

681
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: the war started. We were going to fly from the

682
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: Persian Gulf to Cypress, then onto Shannon, ire Ireland, then Bangor, Maine,

683
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: and finally touch down at McConnell AFB in Wichita. Kansas, Oh.

684
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: Several hours go by on a flight to Cypress, We

685
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: land and sit there for an hour. We're all hansy

686
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: because we want to get home. The captain of the

687
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: civilian charter jet we were on comes out and lets

688
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: us know that since we were in uniform, the locals

689
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: didn't want us hit a plane. Wait what I mean

690
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: if this is during like war, Come on, guys.

691
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: You ever seen a guy in uniform before?

692
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: We sat on the effing tarmac for two hours after

693
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: flying in from the Middle East because they didn't want

694
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: to look at us anyway. We finally take off and

695
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: head to Shannon, Ireland. We land and they let us

696
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: off the plane. Only thing is we're in a terminal

697
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: with no one but us in it. They posted an

698
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 1: Irish cop at the door making sure none of us

699
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: would leave the terminal. They even had Irish cops with

700
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: what looked like pupew's walking around our jet on the tarmac.

701
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: Dude, what they really do be walking around with those?

702
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: When I was in France, they were walking around with those.

703
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: When you're in the Philippines, bro, you see people think

704
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: my god, I was shocked.

705
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah me too. I was like, you can you can

706
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: walk around with that thing at.

707
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: Your mom's birthday. The one security guard.

708
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember.

709
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: I looked at Kean and I was like, does he

710
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: have just like a pupu?

711
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: He had like three on him. I guess there had

712
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: to have been threats to the troops passing through. Anyway,

713
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: I go to the bar that they had opened for us.

714
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm like a f it, I'm Ireland. I'm gonna have

715
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: a Guinness. I'm gonna split that g do it. Brhunder says, sorry,

716
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: no Guinness. I couldn't effing believe it. He tells me

717
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: that they have Budweiser whatever taste of home. We hop

718
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: back on the plane and head to Banger. I'm stoked.

719
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: It's like midnight. There are a bunch of Americans with

720
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: little flags hugging us and high fiving us as we

721
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: walk off the jet. H well, most of us, anyway.

722
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: One dude got so wasted on liquor that he bought

723
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: in Ireland that he lost his shirt and the chief

724
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't let him the plane. So I walk through the

725
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: crowd and make my way to the open gift shop.

726
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 3: Fit.

00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: stop this fit. I'm in Banger, Maine, and if you're

731
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: not gonna buy a lobster, there's only one other souvenir choice.

732
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: I look around the gift shop for a Stephen kingbook.

733
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: Crazy enough none, No f this, I'm done. We fly

734
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: back to Wichita, kiss the ground, I make love to

735
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,560

Speaker 1: guess what Wichita has Stephen kingbooks and Guinness. I guess

737
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: Home is where the heart is. It's all you need

738
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: and everything else in between.

739
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: Anyone that lives in Kansas, I do not know.

740
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: Why have you been to Kansas?

741
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, but I can imagine what it is. There's

742
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: nothing in Oklahoma that feels like Kansas.

743
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: I've never been to Oklahoma, but I've been to Kansas.

744
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: Remember it being a real hot and flat and flat dude.

745
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: I've been to Madison, Wisconsin. Wisconsin, that was a very

746
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: beautiful capital.

747
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: A lot of people are like, you don't kiss Wichita,

748
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: which daw sucks. Not gonna lie.

749
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: People hate they got a good basketball team in some years.

750
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: Well, we have more stories here.

751
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: Hey, this is Riley the host. I can't really read that. Well,

752
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna get back to the stories, but here's three

753
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: minutes worth of ads from our sponsors.

754
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: Use your driving. Stone says, I have a horrible story

755
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: with a good ending. I was on a business trip

756
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: that took me to LA for the day, then off

757
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: to Seattle. I had very little time between my last

758
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: meeting in LA and my flight. I was flying through

759
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: security as fast as I could to make the flo

760
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: and so just toss my watch and phone in the

761
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: bin with my shoes instead of putting them in my bag,

762
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: which I normally do. The watch was a Rolex Oh

763
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: Boy I had received as an award for some quality

764
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 1: work I had done. Bin comes out of the X

765
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: ray watch is gone? No watch? What TSA was their

766
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: glorious self and said nothing they could do by all

767
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: a lost item report, blah blah blah stop no. Also

768
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: sounds like lax. My guy, did I do that? Lax sucks.

769
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: I've traveled to so many places not to just like

770
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: toot my own horn. Lax is my least favorite airport

771
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: in the world.

772
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: What about the one in Boston?

773
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: Never been to Boston. I also know JFK's pretty intense.

774
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: LGA in New York, Yeah, that's why, or Newark as well.

775
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: E WR been to those. Totally fine, no stress, lax

776
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: every time. I just dread it, dreading going in, dreading

777
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: getting out, going through security, getting the worst. It's amaze.

778
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: I like so and I had to run. I was

779
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: sick to my stomach as I had an emotional attachment

780
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: to the watch and I never dropped that kind of

781
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 1: money on a WAT, and now it was gone. I

782
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: file the report with Lost and Found the next day

783
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: by email and get a form response, we will only

784
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: contact you we find your item. Where did this watch go?

785
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: X ray?

786
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 3: Thing?

787
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 2: That's crazy, someone definitely picked it up.

788
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: Four weeks later, I get a call. It's the TSA

789
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: and they say, did you file a missing item report?

790
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 2: Yep?

791
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: Got my watch back.

792
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: Nice.

793
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: Next day, I'm telling the story to my coworker and

794
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: he just starts laughing. He had just read a story

795
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: online about a TSA agent fired and arrested for stealing

796
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: stuff as it went through the X ray. Stop it. No,

797
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: these days, I have global entry and security takes thirty seconds,

798
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 1: just like it should in that story.

799
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: Should I get global entry now?

800
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you see those people walk by and you're like,

801
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: they don't It's just like thirty seconds in and out.

802
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: I have my pre check and I love it.

803
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: I think I should I try. I am on a

804
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 2: plane like four to five times a year.

805
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: I got it as soon as I moved here, and

806
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 3: I knew I'd have to travel home a lot.

807
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bit.

808
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 3: It's around one hundred bucks, I think for ten years.

809
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: I have a patient man. I also get to the

810
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: airport four hours early.

811
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I can keep my shoes on and my

812
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: laptop in my b Yeah.

813
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: Imagine that one we're traveling.

814
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: Oh, that would be so nice. You know many laptops

815
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 2: I stuff in my suitcase.

816
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if it works internationally. Huh does it?

817
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: It should? It should?

818
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: All right? Another story user be Smirched. Smirker says this

819
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: one from being worst experience too to a not so

820
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: bad one if that counts. I was flying by myself

821
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: for the first time in tenth grade to visit my

822
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: friend in Colorado and had randomly purchased mushrooms on a

823
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: whim for the first time the night before Look at

824
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: You Go. I found a nice hiding place for them,

825
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: so I could experiment when I returned. When I realized

826
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: that my outrageousy, nosy mom is going to thoroughly search

827
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: my room when I'm in Colorado and find those shrooms,

828
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: I figured that eating the entire eighth at two am

829
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: was the only logical solution.

830
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: Why would you do that, just like.

831
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: Everyone's experience for the first time, when you're like I

832
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: don't feel it. I don't feel it. Get me to

833
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: the hospital. Either these shrooms are bunk or people are

834
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: are whoosies. I thought for thirty minutes until my desk

835
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: chair turned into a dark overcoat clad burglar staring straight

836
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: at me. I spend the next three hours holding myself,

837
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: rocking back and forth, saying I am my best friend,

838
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: I am my best friend, until it was time to

839
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: have my mom drive me to the airport. Luckily, my

840
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: mom attributed my erratic behavior and gigantic pupils to exhaustion,

841
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: and I made it on the plane, albeit with profound

842
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: assistance from another passenger and benevolent airline employees. Needless to say,

843
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: the takeoff and any insignificant turbulence convinced me I was

844
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: going to pass away. I was white knuckle grasping the

845
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: armress and breathing like oxygen was going out of fashion.

846
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: Was seconds from grabbing the stewardess and spilling my guts

847
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: to her about the boomers and everything, so she would

848
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: kindly let me off the plane, because that's a simple

849
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: procedure when you're flying at thirty five thousand feet over

850
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: the Appalachian Mountains when the dude next to me puts

851
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: his hand on my wrist and says, hey, man, everything's

852
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: going to be all right. I hadn't even noticed him

853
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: till then.

854
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: I hope he's.

855
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: Freaking out already. The dude takes off the sunglasses he

856
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: was wearing, which should have been assigned to reveal the kindest,

857
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: most beneficent, bloodshot stoner eyes I've ever seen. He's at

858
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: least ten years of my senior. But this long haired

859
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: surfer dude proceeds to calmly tell me about the waves

860
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: he's going to catch in Cali, the girls out there,

861
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: the weather, et cetera. Totally talks me off the ledge

862
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: and saves my effing life. Heck, thank you, random surfer dude.

863
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 2: Dude. That's the surfer dudes in California.

864
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: If I've ever met, he was your tot him. He

865
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: was like, I know this situation. I know exactly with

866
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: those guys going through.

867
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: I've been here before. Artel the Hun says, so here,

868
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 2: I am flying to Guam. We have a short layover

869
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 2: in Tokyo at Narita Narita International. I come off the

870
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: plane hungry as ef. I weigh my options on where

871
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 2: there is to eat and side McDonald's is my safe choice.

872
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: Hits some chicken nuggies and some fries, along with the

873
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 2: weird soda that was not even remotely good. Approximately one

874
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 2: hour later, the seismic activity and enaminating from my bows

875
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 2: cannot be ignored. I factically search for a restroom, rather

876
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: difficult at the time. I finally find a restroom, it's

877
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: mega crowded. I'm surprised they didn't have some trained stuffer

878
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: dudes up in their piece. There is one stall opening.

879
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 2: I rush in, but to my dismay, it is one

880
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: of those squat toilets that looks like a urinal turned

881
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 2: sideways on the floor. I was quite confused, but I

882
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 2: dropped my pants and proceed to do the deed and

883
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: didn't face the right direction. In my frantic need to

884
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: evacuate the contents of my bouts. I grasp widely at

885
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 2: anything that seemed like it could support me. I end

886
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 2: up holding onto something that you put your kid on

887
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: to watch you during this f up experience. You're weird

888
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 2: japan No.

889
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: Op, you're weird. That's that's a crazy thing to say.

890
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: I had the worst squirts of my life.

891
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 3: Oh wow, speaking of a squirt, Oh.

892
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 2: My gosh, I sprayed the entirety of the so called

893
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 2: toilet and some of the surrounding area with my ill news. Yeah,

894
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: no play by play is needed here. I hear Japanese

895
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: dudes probably talking crap about me for taking so long,

896
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: but I have to wipe up all the crap in

897
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: the stall before I came out. This was the worst

898
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 2: experience with dropping deuice I have ever had. So, you know,

899
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 2: the are Asian toilets really effing sack.

900
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: Shut up. I hate that because these toilets don't accommodate

901
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: to me in my needs.

902
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 2: So can you poop in those?

903
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: Yeah? You also, Japanese toilets are the usually the best

904
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: toilets in the world. Those are like the automated bike

905
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: that has everything like seat warmer. There's like forty different

906
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: things you can do with that yeah, there were robots

907
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: whoa especially in Narita. Narita is one of the best

908
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: airports in the world.

909
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: Joining in says, my family and I are traveling back

910
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 2: from Mombasa, Kenya to Europe.

911
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: We have to get a flight in Mobasa to Nairobi.

912
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: Didn spend six hours in Nairobi before catching a long

913
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: flying home. Sounds pretty easy. The flight we were meant

914
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: to take in.

915
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: Mambasa was over five hours late.

916
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 2: It was night by the time our flight was ready,

917
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 2: and for some reason, Mamasa Airport had an open roof,

918
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: so in this malaria infested region, we were getting eaten

919
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: alive by those mosquitos. Once we had packed away our repellents, Oh,

920
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: we all get excited to manage drive ourselves outside of torport.

921
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: We'd slowly be settling into before realizing that not only

922
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 2: our flight was ready to be boarded, but the next

923
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: flight to Nairobi was also as well. Huge panic people

924
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 2: getting on the wrong plane and then refusing to get off.

925
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: My dad is starting to get tense as he realizes

926
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: he potentially will after this shout about fifteen k to

927
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 2: get us back home. The flights from Nairobi to Paris

928
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: and then another connection we need plus a night in Nairobi.

929
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 2: The plane finally takes off. We arrive in Nairobi as

930
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: my father tells my mother and little sister to basically

931
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: make a run for the check in as my brother,

932
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 2: father and I pick up the luggage. We were hoping

933
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: they could at least get on the plane, but the

934
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: check in was closed.

935
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: The biggest Oh, the worst nightmare. The nightmare is only

936
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: getting worse. Nightmare, nightmare, nightmare.

937
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: You might have malaria by this point too, I hope not.

938
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: I have my good pastor friend in Tennessee. He got

939
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 2: bit my mosquitoing and like got malaria and started having

940
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 2: a stroke and stuff, what you visited Africa.

941
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: And like don't they don't you have to hike like

942
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: a shot?

943
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: You do? Yeah, he took all this stuff, but I think.

944
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: It's still like it just because happens to him.

945
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

946
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: But he's good now, oh good.

947
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:09,919
Speaker 2: And then he had a stroke but it was only

948
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: when he was talking and it was like only in

949
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: the back left corner of his mouth.

950
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: I hope he's okay, he's good now, okay, great.

951
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, some crazy stuff happened where he was healed and

952
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: everything crazy story for.

953
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 3: The last story. If you do have to poop, how

954
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 3: do you have to sit on the ground?

955
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, explain that is that a urinal?

956
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: That's the Japanese floor toilets that he was talking about.

957
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm seeing him go back back first, slide grass.

958
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 3: He's laying on the ground.

959
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: So we're so we're going we're going missionary here.

960
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: Oh no, reverse cowgirl?

961
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: How are you reverse cowgirling that missionary? Yeah, he's on

962
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: the back, he's on his back.

963
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but still no, I think reverse cowgirl in this scenario.

964
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: No, that's definitely missionary. Slide butt to butt to that, Like,

965
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: you're on your back, you're laying down, it's weird. Legs,

966
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: legs are straddling you squat.

967
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: This is a Japanese style squat toilet.

968
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: I don't think some people can squat.

969
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 3: Though, yeah, squatting to do that.

970
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: Or American bodies would not be able to squat that.

971
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 3: That guy had to.

972
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: If I was in a dire situation, I'm doing it.

973
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: Sure.

974
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: Listen, the Philippines they don't have like it doesn't flush.

975
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: It's true, you have to make the whirlpole yourself. And

976
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: they did not like, no, no, you have like a

977
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: little thing.

978
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 3: You have a cup with water.

979
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: You have a little cup of water and you pour

980
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: it in to make a.

981
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one explained to me, and I tried to

982
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 3: ask the lady and she got mad that I didn't

983
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 3: know how.

984
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 2: Anyways, back to this story. Fortunately the check in lady

985
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 2: ignored the rules, checked in my mother and sister and

986
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: the three of us who were now running across the

987
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: airport clasping onto the hope that this flight was delayed too.

988
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 2: In the end, we just sailed through check in, thanks

989
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 2: to this lovely lady who let us skip the line

990
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: and had agreed to check us in before seeing our passports.

991
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: So sweltering and panting, we ordered the flight home and

992
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 2: none of us got malaria. Great holiday. I recommend going

993
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: to Kenya, one of the most beautiful places I have

994
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: ever been to. Yeah, dude, oh, that's too close for comfort.

995
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. I have another crazy story that

996
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: I've had my travel. I have some crazy travel stories,

997
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: but with airports especially.

998
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: Also six seven and eight. I hope you were doing well.

999
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: When I went to go see my brother graduate in Tennessee.

1000
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: I had a suitcase. I remember those, and I was like,

1001
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 2: I sat in the back and I had to put

1002
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: my suitcase in the front because I was like, I'm

1003
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: one of the last people to board. But when I

1004
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 2: did that, put it up to the front, and as

1005
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: I was getting close to it, I couldn't find it.

1006
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: Could not find my suitcase. And I was like, dude,

1007
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 2: what happened? And so I get there and I'm like, hey,

1010
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 2: we'll check the flight. They check out there's another blue suitcase.

1011
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: It wasn't mine. And my flight was leaving in like

1012
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 2: twenty minutes and like another terminal, and I was like

1013
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: and they're like, the best we can do is like

1014
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 2: call over the intercom and be like, hey, check make

1015
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 2: sure your bags are yours. And I was like I

1016
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: don't have time for that. I have to leave. So

1017
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: then I lead go to the terminal. Turns out that's

1018
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: not the place go check the big board. The board

1019
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 2: was still in my gate, like two gates over. And

1020
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: then I get there They're gone, and I like start

1021
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 2: crying and had to like get myself compose yourself. Yeah,

1022
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 2: And then I was like how can I get back home.

1023
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: I got a middle seat back to see Yeah. I

1024
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,040

1028
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: most part. I know it does suck, but like be thankful,

00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: My exactly like that. Stuff like that happens. I think

1032
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: it's like the one of the first rules I do

1033
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: with traveling. He's like, always just keep an eye on

1034
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: your stuff, like, don't trust anybody, Like, hey, can you

1035
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: watch my back for like a second. Don't even do

1036
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: that because you cannot trust anybody unless if it's just

1037
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: like people that you're traveling with. But if it's like

1038
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: a random stranger, Oh my god.

1052
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,280

1053
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: So we got another one. Slim GYM seventy two says,

1054
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: oh wow, this story is how American Airlines poor planning

1055
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 2: and even worse customer service almost caused me to miss

1056
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 2: my own wedding.

1057
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: Wait to go back to the first senence, was it

1058
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: American Airlines is poor planning? Or your port planning American Airlines?

1059
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So I live in Florida now, but am

1060
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 2: originally from Rochester, New York, as is my wife. My

1061
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 2: wife is a school teacher and I'm in sales. She

1062
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: gets a lot more time off than I do. We

1063
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 2: decided to get married a few days after Christmas so

1064
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: we could save on not having to travel home twice

1065
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 2: that year. She went to New York a week earlier

1066
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 2: than me, and I was slated to travel home a

1067
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 2: few days before Christmas. I left Florida fine, and the

1068
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 2: weather report up north seemed mild, so I didn't anticipate

1069
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 2: any trouble. I did have a brieflay over in Philadelphia,

1070
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 2: but I travel a lot, so I know the Philly

1071
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: airport pretty well. I arrived in Philly and hurried off

1072
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 2: the plane to go to my connection gate, expecting to

1073
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 2: be boarding. It was not. I was informed that it

1074
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: would be delayed and half hour. Another half hour later,

1075
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 2: they announced that it would be delayed another half hour

1076
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: and a half hour, then an additional two hours after that,

1077
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 2: for a total of four hours. By this time, it

1078
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: was getting late, and I knew I was in jeopardy

1079
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 2: of having my flight canceled altogether. Shortly after midnight, after

1080
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 2: waiting about five hours, they announced that the flight was

1081
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 2: canceled without any additional instructions. People began bombarding the tic counter.

1082
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 2: I hopped in with what I hope was ALIGNE called

1083
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: my wife, Beyonce. At the time. She began crying hysterically,

1084
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 2: concerned that I would miss Christmas and the wedding, which

1085
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 2: were both still a few days away. I calmed her

1086
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 2: down and assured her that that was ridiculous. Okay, if

1087
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: you're stuck here, can't you just get a car and

1088
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 2: drive there?

1089
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Say it's because they're just going was it going

1090
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: from New York too?

1091
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 2: So he's in Florida going to Philly, Philly.

1092
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 3: To New York, but he's already in Philly.

1093
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah at that point, if it's really dire.

1094
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 3: It's like five hours at that point, maybe.

1095
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: Planes, trains, automobiles.

1096
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: Potentially even less. Yeah, that could even be as low

1097
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 3: as like two two hours, depends where he's going. Well,

1098
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 3: he said where he was going Rochester. Rochester. Yeah, that's

1099
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 3: like five at least.

1100
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, you could rent a car if you really need to.

1101
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: I feel bad for whoever's at the ticketing counter because

1102
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: it's not their fault, but they're about to get barraged

1103
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: by angry people.

1104
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: Yeah. Ah, I'm trying to see when their wedding is.

1105
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: They just said it was a few days later, and

1106
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 2: he's leaving a few days before. Dude, you're fine?

1107
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? Why are we? Yeah? Yeah? Why are we stressing

1108
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: out so much? One? You're as Christmas, but you're still

1109
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: a state over. I'm sorry.

1110
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1111
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: If Kevin McAllister can travel New York by himself, so

1112
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: can you. It's over.

1113
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 2: I waited in line for another hour and a half

1114
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 2: while they dope with each person's complaint. I got up

1115
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: to the counter and I didn't really even know what

1116
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: to say 'or do. The clerk explained that the flight

1117
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 2: timed out. I later learned that they just didn't staff

1118
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 2: a pilot to fly the plane. Nice The delays were

1119
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 2: them trying to find one.

1120
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 1: I do recall this was like, this was a time

1121
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: where like, not many pilots in the industry. Yeah, I

1122
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: think it's getting better now, but like the pilot industry.

1123
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: He was really, can you tell me I could become

1124
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: a pilot?

1125
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 2: Now?

1126
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: You want to be?

1127
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: I just asked the woman how I was going to

1128
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: get home. She informed me that there was a flight

1129
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 2: going from Buffalo in the morning that she could book me,

1130
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 2: and that the airline would provide a voucher for a

1131
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 2: local holiday inn. I had no problem with that. Called

1132
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 2: my wife to let her know what was going on.

1133
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 2: She was upset, but I calmed her down a bit.

1134
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: I headed down to catch the shuttle to the hotel.

1135
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 2: There were maybe five or six other people waiting as well,

1136
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 2: but other than that, the airport was deserted. It was

1137
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 2: probably two thirty to three am. At this point, we

1138
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 2: waited about twenty minutes before someone decided to call the hotel.

1139
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: The hotel manager informed us that the shuttles had stopped running.

1140
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 2: You would see if he could figure something out. But

1141
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes later, a day's in shuttle pulls

1142
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 2: up our luck right. He drives us to the hotel.

1143
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: All pile out and head to the lobby. The first

1144
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 2: person hands the clerk the voucher from the airline and

1145
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 2: he examines it. He informs us that the vouchers are

1146
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 2: for the Holiday Inn Express, which is a hotel across town,

1147
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,760
Speaker 2: and confirms that it was not him or that hotel

1148
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: that had previously called. We didn't know what to do

1149
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 2: here for a room here. Luckily, the shuttle driver volunteered

1150
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 2: to drive us over there.

1151
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: These are some good samaritans, like I yeah, these people like, hey,

1152
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: this is not your this is not your fault, like

1153
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: this is nothing, but well, we'll help you out kind

1154
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: of thing.

1155
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 2: On the ride there, the driver is going on about

1156
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 2: how he was already supposed to have ended his shift.

1157
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: He stops at a fairly deserted street and tells us

1158
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 2: we should really pay him for what's going out of

1159
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 2: his way to get us to the other hotel.

1160
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 1: Never mind, I take a well, I mean I think

1161
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: I think I think a tip is nice. I think

1162
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 1: a tip would be nice to this guy, especially since

1163
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 1: it's a holiday season. If this guy's expecting to be

1164
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: paid for this when he vouched, he's like, He's like, yeah,

1165
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: I'll do it. That's a little There was.

1166
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: An older couple, the ones who called the hotel in

1167
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 2: in the first place, who looked a bit shaken by this.

1168
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 2: They immediately paid the man. I didn't see how much,

1169
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: but there was at least a twenty in there. I

1170
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 2: was exhausted by this point, not one air conflict. I

1171
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 2: gave the guy my last six dollars. The driver seemed

1172
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 2: more pleased and started to the hotel. We arrived there,

1173
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 2: handed over our vouchers, and headed to our rooms.

1174
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: This is also in Philly. He was like, yeah, I'm

1175
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: gonna let you guys out here.

1176
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: By the airport. Though isn't really like I know where

1177
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 3: they're talking, and it's just kind of like low key.

1178
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 3: It's over the bridge, is already out of Philly.

1179
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: I passed out shortly after four am. The morning shuttle

1180
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: was leaving at nine am, so I didn't get much sleep.

1181
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,760
Speaker 2: I showered and headed out about eight forty five. Shuttle

1182
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: arrived on time and headed back to the airport. I

1183
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 2: went up to the front ticke of booth, explain the

1184
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 2: story and then the ticket that the woman from the

1185
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 2: previous night issued to me. The clerk looked a bit confused, Sir,

1186
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: there was no flight to Buffalo this morning.

1187
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: At this point, I was like, someone take me home.

1188
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 2: Someone take me home. You're driving me home. Let's get

1189
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 2: a rentald Gisco. At this point, pure panic set in.

1190
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 2: I asked when the next flight I could be on

1191
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 2: was leaving. She confirmed there was no available flights to

1192
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 2: either Rochester, Buffalo or Syracuse, so she suggested waiting on

1193
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,879
Speaker 2: standby to try and catch a seat of someone who

1194
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 2: didn't show up. I called my wife to inform her.

1195
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: She was beyond solable at this point.

1196
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 3: Maybe we figure out the solutions before we call our

1197
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 3: wife again. Maybe we work on it for like more

1198
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 3: than the talking to the desk.

1199
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, you're giving her a roller coaster of emotions

1200
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,319
Speaker 1: of like I can't figure it out, figured it out.

1201
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out, figured it out.

1202
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: I waited around the airport pretty much all day, waiting

1203
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: to see if I could catch a stand by seat.

1204
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 2: I had no luck, though. At around eight pm that night,

1205
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 2: I got the call, the call, the one that would

1206
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 2: save me from his misery. My phone was almost passed

1207
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,879
Speaker 2: away and I didn't even check the caller ID when

1208
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 2: I answered. It was my buddy Kevin. Hey, man, your

1209
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 2: fiance called me today. Oh yeah, yeah, she says, you're

1210
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 2: stranded in the Philly airport. Yeah. I probably will not

1211
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 2: make it home for Christmas or the wedding. No, man,

1212
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: I'll come get you.

1213
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 3: What.

1214
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, how far is Philly from here? I don't know.

1215
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: Five hours maybe, all right, I'll be there in a bit.

1216
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 2: You arrived just after one am with my fiance, who

1217
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 2: ran up and hugged me. I slept for most of

1218
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: the car right home. Dude, that's how we do it.

1219
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 2: That's how we freaking do it.

1220
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: We said, Holy cow, it does suck. It does suck.

1221
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: But if there's a will, especially if it's like a

1222
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: state over, there's a way.

1223
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just five hours.

1224
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 3: Was renting a car and never on the table.

1225
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 2: I guess not. It's like going to Vegas and back.

1226
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Literally, if there was Vegas, I would come get

1227
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: you right exactly, or even Tucson, like or San Francisco.

1228
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: It's an eight hour drive, but I'd do it. I'd

1229
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you owe me one, but I'll do it. Yeah,

1230
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: did you ruin my weekend?

1231
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 2: No?

1232
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: I get to travel to San Francisco.

1233
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we stayed there for a little bit.

1234
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: But it's for a friend, yeah exactly. Especially if it's

1235
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: just close over, like a stayed over, it does suck.

1236
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: It does really suck, especially with all everything but golden friend.

1237
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 1: Yeah you have that man a steak dinner and maybe

1238
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 1: a couple steak dinners.

1239
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1240
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: If it was a country over, well.

1241
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 2: I would do it too. If it was for my

1242
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:44,479
Speaker 2: friend and their wedding was in a couple of days.

1243
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Mexico is one thing, like Mexico or Canada

1244
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: one thing. But say I was like, if I was

Speaker 1: the ocean, sail the Ocean's blue, pick me up on

1250
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: said boat, take me back.

1251
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 2: I'll do it. It'll take two weeks. But as long

1252
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 2: as we live stream everything, I'm on my way. Keon,

1253
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: cool getting you're producing on the way back?

1254
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: Sweet? Uh, this is Keon and Riley weren't a yacht Yo,

1255
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: what's up? We're pirates now.

1256
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 2: User name says, all right, this is my time to shine.

1257
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 2: So my colleague and I were finishing up a marathon

1258
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 2: week of conferences in California, slit between Monterrey and anahe

1259
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 2: and Hannahan and we had some sight seeing in between conferences,

1260
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 2: which included going into Mexico purchasing a few bottles of tequila.

1261
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 2: On our flight back to Canada was, to my surprise,

1262
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 2: not with Air Canada but with United.

1263
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I've heard some fun stories with the good old UA.

1264
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: We show up two hours early for the fly go

1265
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 2: to check in and the United attendant ask us if

1266
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 2: there are any glass bottles in our checked backs, very

1267
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 2: specific with f I've never been asked that before. And

1268
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: I fly out a lot, but off guard, we both

1269
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 2: say that we have a bottle of tequila in our backs.

1270
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 2: The attendant makes us remove them and show her how

1271
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 2: they're packed so as they are aren't packed properly, and

1272
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 2: tells us we can either pack them in foam and

1273
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 2: plastic wrap or mail them. We ask her where to

1274
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 2: get the foam and wrap. Oh, we don't have that here,

1275
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,399
Speaker 2: it's at the post office, and the post office is closed. Well. Left, Now,

1276
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: we can't check our bags with a tequila and we

1277
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 2: can't mail it either. Starting to see that it might

1278
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 2: be a ruse to get our booze, we asked if

1279
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: we can go and dump the booze out in a

1280
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 2: bathroom and then put the bottle into the garbage. We

1281
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 2: were then told no uncertain terms, that if we left

1282
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 2: the counter to do so, she would have us picked

1283
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: up by security and have us barred from our flight.

1284
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: I've never like, okay, interesting rules or rules.

1285
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 2: We relented and let her take her bottles, checked our

1286
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 2: bags and go wait for our flights. Two hours later,

1287
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 2: time to board our flight, we were notified that our

1288
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 2: flight is late. About an hour later, we were told

1289
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 2: that our flight needs maintenance. It's about nine pm now.

1290
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 2: Two to three hours later, we were informed that our

1291
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 2: plane broke its landing gear and they were sending another

1292
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 2: plane to take over our flight from the other side

1293
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 2: of the airport. An hour after that, we were informed

1294
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 2: that our flight is now delayed. Until noon the following day.

1295
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 2: What yes, I forgot to mention earlier that my colleague

1296
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 2: had just put an offer in on a house and

1297
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: had to be back by eleven pm the next day

1298
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 2: to sign or his new house would go to someone else.

1299
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: Why do we do things so close? I mean, I

1300
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,240
Speaker 1: get it, it does happen, but I think you always

1301
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: need like a good little like bumper space to like

1302
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: situate yourself of like relaxing. I know, like it's like

1303
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: you're busy, busy, busy, and this is not supposed to happen,

1304
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: but things like this do happen. It does.

1305
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 2: Suck off to the United desk. We go. We arrive

1306
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 2: at the desk and ask if we can get another

1307
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 2: flight out, even if it has more connections, and are

1308
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 2: informed that there are none available and the best they

1309
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 2: can do with United is the fly the next day

1310
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 2: at noon, they offer us one voucher for a discount

1311
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 2: at the airport hotel. After this, we start complaining, to

1312
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 2: the point where the guy at the desk referred us

1313
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 2: to his manager. Turns out this was the best thing

1314
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 2: that they could have done for us, as the manager

1315
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 2: was very helpful and was able to get us on

1316
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 2: an Air Canada flight at six am, which would land

1317
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 2: us home in time for my colleague to close on

1318
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 2: his house. Yes, freaking awesome.

1319
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: Man, Oh my gosh.

1320
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 2: Now it's the middle of the night.

1321
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: At Lax, my favorite place to be.

1322
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,439
Speaker 2: This makes sense, like I said, which I figured would

1323
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 2: be pretty much open all night, But I was wrong.

1324
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,760
Speaker 2: We recovered our luggage and went from terminal to terminal

1325
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 2: looking for someplace to eat, and finding out nothing was open.

1326
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 2: We finally resigned to ourselves to sitting at a small

1327
00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 2: eatery type place and waiting for our flight. When six

1328
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 2: am rolled around, it was a huge relief to board

1329
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 2: an Air Canada flight back home. It was, however, not

1330
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 2: a huge relief when we sat down and realized that

1331
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 2: if we had been booked with Air Canada for our

1332
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 2: return flight originally like we would have made it home

1333
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: with our boost. The fly home was uneventful and we

1334
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 2: made all of our connecting flights without incident. Read that

1335
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: TLDR TLDR United Airlines attended at Lax drink Mike tequila.

1336
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 2: In reply, as you handed her the bottles, you should

1337
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: have opened them up.

1338
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 3: And split I was thinking that too. I was like,

1339
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 3: you should have opened it up, taken a shot, switched

1340
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 3: it around, a little spit it bag in No.

1341
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: You know what I would have done. I would have

1342
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: been extremely fatty. I think someone said it too. I

1343
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 1: would have been like, oh, okay, clink gop Co can

1344
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: drink all people?

1345
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 4: Can?

1346
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:20,240
Speaker 2: You can?

1347
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: No? I can't. I know people who can. I've met

1348
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: people who do that and I look at them jaw

1349
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: dropped at the floor and I say, that looks like

1350
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna hurt later. But you know what, that was

1351
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I'll give you props. I can't do that. Guys.

1352
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 2: That's the end of our crazy nine mare stories from

Speaker 2: the airport. If you have any, please put them down
