Speaker 1: It's topic times.
Speaker 2: Call eight hundred five five one to join it to
Speaker 2: the discussion with the breakfast club.
Speaker 3: Warning everybody in stej Envy Charlamagne dea guide, we are
Speaker 3: the breakfast club. Now if he's just joining us, we're
Speaker 3: opening up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five
Speaker 3: one oh five to one. So obese passengers are complaining
Speaker 3: about airlines charging.
Speaker 1: Them two tickets to fly on different airlines.
Speaker 3: Now this is not every airline, but this is some
Speaker 3: of them, and some of the bigger passengers are complaining
Speaker 3: about this. So we're asking what are your thoughts? Eight
Speaker 3: hundred five A five one oh five one. Now, keep
Speaker 3: in mind forty one percent of Americans are obese.
Speaker 1: So with that being such a large number, I think
Speaker 1: that they.
Speaker 4: Should have a large number.
Speaker 3: I think they should have an obese section. Now an
Speaker 3: ob section. I know you think, go even that's a
Speaker 3: fat section, But yes, a big section with the seats
Speaker 3: are bigger and you let's say you just have four
Speaker 3: seats on a plane or six seats on a plane
Speaker 3: that you keep for obese passengers. Now, if you don't
Speaker 3: sell them, then you can sell them to regular people.
Speaker 3: And then regular people.
Speaker 1: I have a first class seat, it'll feel like a
Speaker 1: first class.
Speaker 3: Seat, but you at least give them the option instead
Speaker 3: of you know, because you know, if you've been on
Speaker 3: a flight, like the seats are getting narrow and narrow,
Speaker 3: and there's no way somebody with that's big confitting those seats.
Speaker 2: Also to that that number, that number is probably a
Speaker 2: little skewed because like, to be considered obasts, I think
Speaker 2: you have to be over two hundred pounds, But that
Speaker 2: don't necessarily mean.
Speaker 1: Like you're fat.
Speaker 4: You're fat, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, you know, you just considered old beasts based off
Speaker 2: what you know the standards are. But I believe the
Speaker 2: airlines are doing overweight people of favor. Wow, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, because if I was an overweight person,
Speaker 2: I personally would want to book two seats because I
Speaker 2: would want to be comfortable. Simple as that, Like the
Speaker 2: airline is not only looking out for the overweight people,
Speaker 2: it's looking out for its other customers. Because y'all talking
Speaker 2: about how much it would cost for the heavy person
Speaker 2: to buy two seats, how would you feel if you
Speaker 2: spend all that money for a plane ticket and had
Speaker 2: to be uncomfortable the whole ride? Because you sitting next
Speaker 2: to somebody who clearly needed two seats, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. So so one of two things can happen.
Speaker 2: I don't want the airlines to change the dynamics of
Speaker 2: the plane. But you know, if you somebody is like overweight,
Speaker 2: like you know, three hundred, four hundred pounds, maybe you
Speaker 2: can get them, give them a discount on the second ticket.
Speaker 1: Give them a discount.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 3: But the problem is this, right, you know, with inflation
Speaker 3: and interest rates high and people not making money, that's expensive,
Speaker 3: and flying right now is expensive. Before when you could
Speaker 3: get like a little two hundred dollar ticket to fifty
Speaker 3: ticket one hundred and twenty dollars ticket, that's not no more.
Speaker 1: Now tickets is no less than four fifty, five hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay, charging their weight, that's the discount. If you four fifty,
Speaker 2: you gotta pay four fifty. But if you like three
Speaker 2: hundred for the second seat, you paid it three hundred.
Speaker 2: You should have to pay a dollar per pound for
Speaker 2: your second ticket. I think that's fair now, by the way,
Speaker 2: real quick, I said this. I said this, but I
Speaker 2: just got a text from the president of the Fat
Speaker 2: Lives Matter community. He says that we don't need a
Speaker 2: whole section, but if a second seat is needed, it
Speaker 2: shouldn't be full price of a regular ticket. I said
Speaker 2: that before I even got that text from him, because
Speaker 2: we do have the president of the fat Lives Matter
Speaker 2: Committee that works here.
Speaker 4: Yep, but you know he can't be on camera for
Speaker 4: other reasons and stuff. But you know warrant. Yeah, you'll
Speaker 4: see him soon. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But my whole thing is to do a section. What's
Speaker 1: your name, bro?
Speaker 4: Not a section?
Speaker 1: Name roll talk to us.
Speaker 5: Okay, So I used to work out the airline a
Speaker 5: little while better to be honest, I agree with y'all
Speaker 5: saying I don't think it should be a full seat,
Speaker 5: but it should be an extra up charge because getting
Speaker 5: them on the airline or the flight himself, my part
Speaker 5: used to be a process. You have to get an
Speaker 5: extension for the seatbel that took like two or three
Speaker 5: people to get them on. Like that extra seat is
Speaker 5: a tad bit. But there should be like an overcharged
Speaker 5: price or something like overweight bat.
Speaker 4: I agree.
Speaker 3: Now let me ask you a question, Roe, So you know,
Speaker 3: you know at plays they always keep two seats just
Speaker 3: in case there's a person with a wheelchair or handicap.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 6: True.
Speaker 3: Now, think about it, if there was an ob sex
Speaker 3: where it was just four seats that were a little bigger,
Speaker 3: that's only booked for big people. But if they don't
Speaker 3: sell it, then they just know that they could sell
Speaker 3: it to regular people. Kind of like the handicap seats.
Speaker 3: It could just be four seats on the plane which
Speaker 3: just a little bigger to help you know, O best
Speaker 3: people out.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's a good idea, right, so you have
Speaker 2: four you have you have just extra seats, right and
Speaker 2: if if if no beast person rides the plane and
Speaker 2: buys that extra seat, then it's just a regular seats,
Speaker 2: just a regularly.
Speaker 4: I'm with that because everything everything, But.
Speaker 5: To be honest, extra seats aren't even just for handicapped people.
Speaker 5: Those are for flight crewis like if they got somebody
Speaker 5: loading for one flight flying to the next city.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you're right, but yeah, but so they use
Speaker 3: the handicap seats for other things, and that's that could
Speaker 3: be For the O B seats, it could be you know,
Speaker 3: it could be like the fat section of B section.
Speaker 1: I don't see nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: Everything calls extra on the plane. If your bag is overweight,
Speaker 2: you gotta pay extra. Correct, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: If you got more than one carry on bag, you
Speaker 2: gotta pay extra for the carry on bag.
Speaker 4: Can let you be the same thing when it comes
Speaker 4: your way.
Speaker 1: If you're the way, you got pay.
Speaker 4: If you got you a little.
Speaker 2: Overweight, you gotta pay a little bit more because all
Speaker 2: you're doing is paying for another seat. You're just I
Speaker 2: wouldn't have them. I wouldn't charge them full price for
Speaker 2: another seat.
Speaker 1: Okay, Hello, who's this Detroit? What's up? Talk to us?
Speaker 6: Hey? So listen, man, I'm just saying. First off, I
Speaker 6: like how y'all had the theme stars playing in the
Speaker 6: back the TV things songs. Can y'all play dust tinils?
Speaker 6: For get that into rotation?
Speaker 1: Y'are not supposed to be hearing that? So but gad, yeah,
Speaker 1: where you at that?
Speaker 4: You heard that? We can report them? Where you at? Detroit?
Speaker 7: Here?
Speaker 6: Bro?
Speaker 4: Detroit?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're all right, but bro, Hey, but yeah, man,
Speaker 6: I think they should have charge them definitely. Yeah, put
Speaker 6: put some tax on it. Because everything going up the
Speaker 6: world going up, everything costs more. We gotta pay for everything.
Speaker 6: Food costs extra. They know that, so gas gotta cost extra.
Speaker 6: The seat got to be extra. Right.
Speaker 3: But we even talk about the fact that on these
Speaker 3: food tracks where a lot of people can't get healthy food,
Speaker 3: so they're eating these food food.

Speaker 2: just want to know.
Speaker 6: What.
Speaker 1: Just tell me what?
Speaker 4: Just tell me?
Speaker 2: Tell him what is the stereotype true people with big feet?
Speaker 2: Because I got big feet.
Speaker 6: Yo. Man, we're not even on that topic right now.
Speaker 6: Let's talk about man. You know it's been going on
Speaker 6: for years.
Speaker 4: Brother, that's right.
Speaker 2: People patting you down right, just want to make sure
Speaker 2: to see you see if your.
Speaker 6: Talking about the little luggault. Everybody in the morning to
Speaker 6: listen to you every morning to do that chill out?
Speaker 1: Hold on good yo? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 2: I know if I just wanted to know with you
Speaker 2: like you're asking questions, ask that man the size of
Speaker 2: this No, I did not actually, but listen the thing
Speaker 2: about Griz once you did. What if I was Grizz,
Speaker 2: I would want to be comfortable. So I think that
Speaker 2: they should have half off for the second seat.
Speaker 4: That's what I think.
Speaker 1: Hello, who's this.
Speaker 6: Hid and Charlomagne?
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep it anonymous because I got something ugly
Speaker 5: to say.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, first of all, you are you a best man?
Speaker 6: I am not?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry, say what you got to say that?
Speaker 5: I just want to say, if they want to, you know,
Speaker 5: complain about paying for two tickets, keep.
Speaker 6: The fat at home.
Speaker 4: Well that was a bit harsh. You didn't have to
Speaker 4: say fat ass. Okay, you can.
Speaker 6: I mean that's what they are, ob.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's the fat ass that makes it anyway,
Speaker 4: you know, it's gonna come to that door.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: But because if you are a certain size and you
Speaker 2: don't want to pay, you know, the extra costs for
Speaker 2: the extra tickets, you're gonna have to find other means
Speaker 2: of transportation, right, Yeah, they might not be flying.
Speaker 1: Hello. Who's this Hello? This is Darnell Darnell, Good morning, Darnell,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning. Talk to us.
Speaker 3: We're talking about obese passengers complaining that they're getting charged
Speaker 3: for two airline tickets now right right.
Speaker 6: So, I believe personally that they should get charged forw
Speaker 6: airline tickets. I've personally been in situations because I've traveled
Speaker 6: a lot where I've been next to that morbidly obese
Speaker 6: passenger and it is extremely uncomfortable. If you pay, if
Speaker 6: you sit and you physically take up one point five seat,
Speaker 6: then yes, you should pay for three tickets.
Speaker 8: With I've fence like it's not an emotional thing. It's
Speaker 8: not a physical bias thing. It's more or less about
Speaker 8: you know, being considerate for people next to you. And
Speaker 8: if you can't control your weight, or if you do
Speaker 8: have a physical problem, then the airlines to be cognizant
Speaker 8: of this and have their own section for these people
Speaker 8: that size. But being seen as how, I'm a noble
Speaker 8: sized male and I've been so uncomfortable next to that
Speaker 8: really big mail or that really big female. I've been
Speaker 8: turned off on more than one occasion in different airlines,
Speaker 8: and not just Delta, for multiple airlines. They need to
Speaker 8: all come to the consensus that, hey, look, this person
Speaker 8: is making me uncomfortable because they're bigger than the average
Speaker 8: size of the seat.
Speaker 2: I agree either that instead of flying commercial with so
Speaker 2: many people, gotta fly cargo.
Speaker 1: What okay, private one?
Speaker 2: You can't fly cargo one of the two, because I
Speaker 2: think the whole thing is we all can agree that,
Speaker 2: especially the older you get, it's not like airlines are
Speaker 2: the most comfortable, correct. I don't care whether you're sitting
Speaker 2: in first class, you know, economy, whatever it is. Airline
Speaker 2: seats just aren't the most comfortable. So if I was
Speaker 2: an obst person, I would want to buy a second
Speaker 2: seat just so I can be as comfortable as possible.
Speaker 4: And I think that the only solution is the second
Speaker 4: ticket should literally be a dollar a pound. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 4: I'm serious, a lot.
Speaker 3: If you can't afford it, Like you got to travel somewhere,
Speaker 3: you can't afford two tickets a dollar a pound.
Speaker 2: So I bought my first ticket for whatever the regular
Speaker 2: price was. And if I'm obese and I need another seat,
Speaker 2: that could be like four hundred. That's better than six hundred,
Speaker 2: seven hundred or whatever the average ticket is.
Speaker 3: And then you got to weigh yourself on the scale
Speaker 3: and see what it is a you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Now you gotta get on the Luggae scale of way
Speaker 3: yourself on that scale.
Speaker 2: It's better, I'm just trying. It's better than having to
Speaker 2: buy two full tickets at full price. Now now, now,
Speaker 2: O beast, people have anxiety. They're not gonna eat for
Speaker 2: a day to get on the flight for cheaper. They're
Speaker 2: gonna pee and poop before they Wearing themself like a
Speaker 2: box ain't gonna make much of a difference. If you
Speaker 2: that obites, it ain't gonna make that much of a difference.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. You gonna lose five pounds
Speaker 4: at the most.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: All right, well, when we come back, we got your
Speaker 3: room and report Nelly, he's up fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you why, so don't move it.
Speaker 4: Hold on what salute?
Speaker 6: Dog?
Speaker 4: Guy Man, president of the Fat Lives Matter Community.
Speaker 2: Says, Yes, he said, And just to let the people
Speaker 2: know that we know y'all don't want to sit next
Speaker 2: to us, but we are okay and are preparing for
Speaker 2: y'all to fall asleep on us.
Speaker 4: It's a compromise for us taking up yall arms face.
Speaker 1: Oh so here they let you sleep on it.
Speaker 4: That's what That's what I got. That's what the president
Speaker 4: of the Fat Lives Matter Community said to me. Just now,
Speaker 4: all right, all.
Speaker 1: Right, well we come back, We got your room. Report
Speaker 1: it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4: Good morning,
