He's the last remnants of the old republic, 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.400 a sole fashion of fairness. He treats crackheads in the 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.360 ghetto cutter the same as the rich pill poppers in 0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:26.600 the penthouse. The clearing House of Hot takes break free 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.639 for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:38.839 right now in the air everywhere. A good Saturday to you, 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:43.320 and welcome to the latest red piping hot edition of 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.360 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller. As we do this 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:51.279 eight days a week because you idiots keep downloading. I 0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.479 was hoping the download numbers would go down and we 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.160 could go back to doing it one or two days 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.200 a week, but the numbers keep going up, and we 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.000 thank you for that. And there's no advertising budget. It's 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.600 all word of mouth. That's it. Word of mouth. It's 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.440 a guerilla marketing campaign. It's working. Thank you, thank you, 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.680 thank you. I love you and hate you at the 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:12.080 same time. But keep it up. Four hours obviously not enough. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.600 And and the cool thing about the fifth hour is 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.720 I would never be able to do an hour on 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.960 politics and the election on the radio because I would 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.480 be raked over the coals if I did that. But 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.000 we did over an hour yesterday of content on the 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.200 twenty election. If you missed it, go back and download that. 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.200 But this is they spin off of the radio show. 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.600 And as you know, because you found it available all 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.959 over the I Heart podcast network and available wherever you 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:44.880 get your podcast. And joined yet again by a man 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.760 from west of the four oh five David, I know 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.680 it's suppressing. David Gascon is making his way in there, 0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:01.000 the insufferable, intolerable, annoying David Guesc. I think, I think 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.960 I'm fantastic. I understand you do, Yes, I do. I 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.760 got a company email the other day that told me, congratulations, 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.960 you have a company email. I never checked my company email. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.360 The funny thing is my boss, one of my bosses, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.400 will email me the company emails. He says, hey, I 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.520 don't I know you don't check this, so here just 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.840 to make sure my personal email. Yeah, I was. I 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.119 was informed, like many of us were, that to keep 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.960 your head on a swivel because during election week, police 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.600 activity will rise because they expect some kind of civil 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.920 unrest writing and protesting and whatnot. That's always nice when 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.520 you have to worry about going to work because people 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.200 don't like who was elected for a political party in 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:45.480 an office. Well, the chaos of the world, right, the 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.360 chaos of the world. Now. I hope there's no writing 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.679 outside the home studio here at the mallar Ranchi, and 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.760 I hope that everything's okay and there's no anarchy. No, 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.920 you know, I think if it will be a mob rule, 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:02.240 you don't think they'll be that or not where you live? Hostility, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.680 I don't know. I don't think there's any I don't 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.280 think there's many people that live where you live. You 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.359 don't think there'll be a rebellion? No, not where you live. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.280 How concerned should I be that Doc Mike, he's gonna 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:20.320 move to California for four months. Why he got hired 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:25.760 as an advisor? Some family found Doc on the internet, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.360 apparently didn't read about him, and hired him to go 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.720 help somebody in their family that's sick, and so they're 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:35.120 gonna put him up room and board for like four months. 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.400 Doc always leaves Chicago in the winter. He's not a dumb. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.440 He might be silly, but he's not dumb. And so 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.720 he's gonna be out here, and he's like he's invited 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.000 himself into the studio. And then I said, hey, Doc, 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.440 I'm not actually at the studio anymore. I've got my 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.400 home studio that I do the show from. So I 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.320 with the remote studio and so um, and I'm not 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:54.839 gonna tell you where I live. And then so Doc 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.160 Doc pretty much implied that he's going to use GPS 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.960 tracking to find out where I live, and he's going 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:06.160 to come into the home studio and complete disobedience and 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.000 he will lead an insurgency, Yeah, and rise into the 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.640 studio to overtake the the microphones, a Blayton disregard to 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.080 authority and uh and trying to have a hostile takeover 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.760 of the show. Yeah, that's how concern. Should I be talk? 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.000 I wouldn't. I wouldn't put it past. Yeah, you should be. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.000 I think I was reading a week or two ago 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:29.320 about an NBC reporter that was using some some dark 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:33.120 web tactics two docks individuals that were oh yeah, that 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.200 was a great story, or contributing to the President Trump's 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.560 re election campaign. She was actually doxing people that were 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.599 contributing to intimidate them. Yeah, well we've seen all. I 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.240 there was a story this week the other day about 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.480 you know, trying to docks sports owners. Uh. Well they 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:58.600 exposed them to expose who's spending money on Republicans and uh, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.119 I don't know if you saw that story, but it's amazing. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.640 People that own sports teams are wealthy and there they 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.240 want to keep their money, and so they vote for 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.680 they vote for Republicans. That's a shocking concept. It is 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.840 odd though, because the players are all supposed to be 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.520 the other side, right, the players vote one way, even 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.800 though the players are all rich to no one, No 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.640 one's poor in professional sports. There's not a single person 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.120 in professional sports playing or owning a team that's poor. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.080 I'm still people that work for teams that are poor, 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:28.920 but that's it. Yeah. I'm still waiting for someone to 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.920 take a shot at Tiger Woods. But I don't think 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.279 they're going to do that. No. No, Well, like we 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.200 got Jack had that long email man, right, oh yeah, 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.000 Jack Nicholas. Yeah, Jack Nicholas said the long long email 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.080 the other day. Alright, so on this podcast, the guess 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.520 because because we we spent a lot of time I 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.320 don't know if you know this on the political podcast, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.200 and so everything is a certain amount of a lot 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.560 of time. And then when that doesn't go well, we 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.000 have to change it up a little bit. So on 0:05:54.040 --> 0:06:00.279 this podcast we've got the Pilot Blues and and edition 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:04.719 to that pop quiz. Pop quiz sounds good. Keep it simple. 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.359 Now you'll get excited about this. You can might have 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.039 an orgasm. The Pilot Blues story, we go into the 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:17.120 Mallard email bag, the fifth hour email address. This was 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.080 sent in by a friend of West of the four 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.200 oh five. I'm a pilot. Now normally I would not 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.880 a lot a good amount of time to just an email. 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:33.599 We did before with our biggest fan from Illinois that 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:38.880 exposed the Bob Page controversy. We've also done it. We 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.320 had remember the listener who our show helped them out 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:46.040 and they were into a confrontation at a I think 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.440 it was a Walmart or a Costco or something like that, 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.680 and they, uh, the police came and they liked our 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.560 show and so they kind of gave him a break 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.479 and all that stuff. So a few times we've done it, 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.240 but this is from I'm a pilot, and I thought 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:01.839 it was interesting. I want to share it with everybody, 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.400 and I hope he does not mind that I'm gonna 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.240 read this a lot. I don't think he will. He 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:06.839 didn't tell me not to use it, so I'm just 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.800 gonna go forward, uh, he writes, And we'll stop throughout 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.680 this and react. So he says, hey, guys, I just 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:16.560 returned from my first trip back over to China. So 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.480 he this guy goes all over the globe. You know 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.280 more about him than I do, guest, but he goes 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.680 all over the globe. He's an international pilot, so he's 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.880 traveling the little Blue marble. Uh. And he says, guys, 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:28.760 I just returned from my first trip back over to 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.360 China since obviously the apocalypse. And let me tell you, 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:36.360 things are a bit different now I'm a pilot, says. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.400 I will preface this by first saying, my company normally 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.000 sends us pilots to pretty plush hotels for our stay. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:49.080 He says, it's typically a nice central downtown location, executive 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.440 room and lounge, free food, drink, executive privileges, all the 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:58.040 privileges included, etcetera. All the things that one would expect. 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.840 I've seen this. So I've stayed at some hotels, nice 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.640 hotels like in New York, and the pilots will come 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.240 in from JFK and they'll stay there for a few 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.120 hours and then go back to JFK. And uh, we 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.000 we've witnessed that. But anyway, so he says, it's like 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:16.120 that everywhere. Obviously that's how the work, the travel game goes. Uh, 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:17.840 he says, those are all things that you would expect. 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.400 We have pretty much free range to go to some 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:26.920 nice restaurants or bars or go shopping. All right, now 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.000 you're ready for the plot twist, Yes, he says, Well, brothers, 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.680 that isn't the case anymore. I'm a pilot, says, I 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.760 will give you the quick some nation of some nation, 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:41.400 rather of our new Chinese government mandated procedures. So again, 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.839 this is a guy fan of the show, fan of 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:49.720 westvill four oh five, unfortunately, but he is giving his experience, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.240 having been to China many times over the years, the 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.280 difference between the US and China and what's happened since 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:03.640 the pandemic COVID nineteen coronavirus star. He says, upon arrival 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.920 in China, we are greeted by two full Hasmatt wearing 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:12.880 employees of company and quickly escorted through customs and immigration. 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.680 Upon the way, we have our upon the way, we 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.160 have a temperature check and it's checked a few times, 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.800 and some paperwork is checked. They also checked our pre 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:29.840 departure COVID test results. All right, next, but wait, there's more. 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:33.760 Next we waited for two more hasmat wearing security officers 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:38.559 to escort us from immigration to hotel which is attached 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:44.360 to the airport. So again before staying at nice downtown hotels. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.640 And I don't know what city this is in, in China, 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:51.400 Beijing or wherever, but now in a hotel, I'm I'm 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.240 implying it's a shitty hotel that's attached to the airport. 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.160 And I'm a pilot, says you enter and leave using 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:04.280 back doors and orrvious elevators, so you're going through the kitchens. 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.800 It's like sneaky when I was a kid. I don't 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:08.960 know if I've told the story before. I was an 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:10.640 autograph hound when I was a kid. I should I 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.920 do a podcast on that sometimes. But one of my 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:16.079 great accomplishments, the All Star Game, was in San Diego. 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:21.640 This is back maybe in the early nineties, and we 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:24.560 got tipped off because we had a network, this before 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.000 social media and email, and we got tipped off that 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.920 Joe di Maggio, the Great Joe di Maggio, was going 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.200 to be at this hotel. Guy tipped this off, so 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.440 we went. He was in town for an autograph show 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.480 at the All Star Game. So we went to this 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:44.959 hotel to get Joe DiMaggio's autograph. And keep in mind, 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.760 I was like, you know, I was, you know, a 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.880 young guy, and but I was on my own at 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:50.760 that time. And now I wasn't living on my own, 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.600 but I made my way to San Diego. I wasn't 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.160 working in San Diego. I was before I worked in 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.960 San Diego. So I went to the hotel luxury hotel 0:10:56.960 --> 0:11:02.360 in San Diego and Otamaggio gets off. We spotted him. 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.920 We said we were stalking the lobby. We spotted DiMaggio 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:11.680 get off the main elevator, bank, make a quick left turn, 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.400 walked right through the back the employee area, through the kitchen, 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:20.240 and uh and dotted every kid, every kid, And we 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.920 were so piste off. I was like, I spent hours 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:26.480 in that hotel lobby and uh, you know, this magic 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.559 had security and They went right through the kitchen, right 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.760 through the area where they take the dirty linen's and 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.280 they do the laundry. Wow, that's pretty damn good. So 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.480 my my encounter with the Great Joe DiMaggio was to 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.520 just see an old man with two big, burly security 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.040 guards get out of an elevator and make a quick 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.559 left turn into the service area of the hotel and 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:53.640 through the kitchen. It's not even It's like almost not 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.160 even worth it to fly out there, don't you think? Yeah, 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.440 I actually wrote back, I said, I'm guess said you're 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.240 I'm not done with the email, by the way, but 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.480 I there's more to it. But I I wrote back, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.160 I said, I bet you wish you could have that 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.480 Southwest Airlines from Dallas to Houston route now. And it's that, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:15.720 you know, all right? So the email continues again, this 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.199 is very detailed. I wanted to give it it's proper time. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.360 Let it breathe a little bit. This is from our buddy, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.760 we Guestcon's buddy. I'm a pilot fan of the show, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.640 and so we told you what happens. He arrives in China, 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.560 He's greeted by has Matt employ This is like out 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:34.520 of a horror movie. So far, isn't it? And didn't 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.040 flying into China especially right now? Yes, it is. If 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:42.240 you were an alien from another planet and you came here, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.240 this is how you would be greeted by people, if 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:45.920 we knew you were coming. This would be how you 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.960 were remember wrong, not at all. I don't think I'm 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.240 wrong all right, So, so far when we left off 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.400 too full has matt wearing employees? Uh, you know, check 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:58.400 the temperature paperwork, the whole thing, go to the hotel 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:02.800 attached the airport, you and and leave using backdoors and 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.280 service elevators. As we said, that led to my Joe DiMaggio, 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:10.480 non sequitur um. Then here we go. Now I'm a pilot, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.640 says it gets fun. He says the hotel is staff 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:19.520 with Chinese CDC personnel. Only to the only people at 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.800 that are working at the hotel. They work for the 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.840 Chinese c d C. And uh, he says, you have 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.680 a temperature check, you fill out some more paperwork. What 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:33.040 a nightmare? What a freaking nightmare? Uh, you fill more 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:36.960 paperwork with your quarantine requirement procedures. And then he lists 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.720 the quarantine requirement procedures. You want to hear these, yeah, 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:46.000 give them to me, all right. Number you are not 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.280 issued a room key. Now, why are you not issued 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.240 a room key? Gascon by the Chinese CDC because if 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:57.200 you have coronavirus you can transfer it onto said key. No, 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.480 you are not given a room key because you are 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.680 not allowed to leave your room for any reason, so 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:11.439 you don't need a key. Welcome to China. Holy crap, 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.240 all the are you serious? Is this real? We think 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.440 it's real. We have no reason to not believe it. 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.160 We know a little bit about I'm a Pilot. I 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.640 don't know too much, but from everything we have been told, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.040 this is true. But wait, there's more, guest gun, you 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.160 are then, according to I'm a Pilot Number two, you 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:30.880 are escorted to your room by CDC staff and there 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.760 are cameras. As it's pointed out here, this is China, 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.840 and the hallways are monitored by the c d C personnel. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.480 Sound good? How hows that sounds so far? It sounds 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.920 like him in boot camp? You Number three, you must 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.960 check your temperature three times a day and record it 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.000 on a form. Well you could lie about that, you 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.680 could just write it down right? How do they they 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.880 have cameras? In the room, they might do you have 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.680 to put the thermometer up your ass? Is that required? Also? 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.960 All right? Number four? No ordering any takeout food to 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.000 be delivered not allowed? No, no door dash, no of that. 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:15.280 You are given twenty disinfected tablets. Uh. And it's as 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.560 tablets here, ten of which are supposed to be placed 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:21.920 in a toilet prior to defecation. Oh, I see, so 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.560 they're kind of okay. So they think that the Chinese 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.040 government seems to think that just taking a ship that 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.040 the coronavirus will get out in the air into the water, 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.360 well maybe the water, but also in the air. And 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:41.400 then yeah, that's interesting, that's interesting. Number six, the room 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.800 is basic. Contains two full size beds, one of which 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.560 has no sheets. That's that's nice. So they want you 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.280 to sleep obviously the bed with the sheets. Of that. 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.960 Number seven, you are given one sheet, two pillows, and 0:15:56.000 --> 0:16:00.920 a comforter. Comforter in the room. That's it. What if 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.360 you call down? I wonder what happens if you say, 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.400 can I get an extra pillow? How would that go? 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.000 What if you want to bring in company, like a 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:14.320 nice young lady to cuttle up with apparently not allowed? Uh? 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.000 There is a there's a table outside the door, and 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.480 inside a table and a chair and a small TV 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:27.920 thto are smaller. There are eighteen channels. One of them 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:32.640 is in English. It's a slight issue if you're you know, 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.360 don't speak the native tongue in China, and you're they're 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.800 hanging out a little bit of a problem. What do 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.960 you think the English channel is CNN? Yeah, seeing an 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.680 international just like Chinese state runs television, State sponsor television. 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:52.040 All right, number nine, It gets better, It gets even better. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:56.960 You are issued one roll of toilet paper, one shower gel, 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:02.760 one shampoo, conditioner, soap, and slippers. All right, Well that 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.960 I might need a elextra toilet paper, but you know, 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.359 I'm okay with one shower gel, one shampoo. That's that's 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.880 not too bad. I don't think if I'm gonna if 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.719 if I'm a pilot, I'm staying on the fucking plane. 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:19.000 Just I'm not even deborting. I'm going in the first class. 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.359 I'm just laying out. Yeah, that's why the planes he 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:26.520 flies are I would guarantee more luxurious than this experience. Yeah, 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.920 I think it flies like seven seventy seven and seven 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:33.320 eight seven. Those things are huge. Number ten bathroom has 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.879 two bath towels, one hand towel. Again, that to me 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:40.199 is not that egregious. Of course, I've stayed at some 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.840 fleabag hotels, so for me, it doesn't sound that bad. 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:46.639 Sounds like my normal hotel. Meals. You want to hear 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.080 how the meals go. Meals are served at six thirty 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.800 thirty and seventeen hundred. Uh. They knock on the door 0:17:55.440 --> 0:18:00.639 right there, and they they placed the food on the 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.240 table that they remember telling you there's tables outside the doors. Um, 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:05.679 so I guess you're allowed to open the door and 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.160 get the food out. This sounds like prison, right, Don't 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.480 they do that in prison? They slide the cliche of 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.560 the the the Hollywood trope of the prison where they 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.480 slide the food under the prison door, right as we've 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.919 all seen that in the movies, just like that iron 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:23.600 tray that comes in and out. Yeah, exactly. Meals according 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.600 to I'm a pilot, are these are Chinese meals? Your 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.240 only crime so far is being a pilot and doing 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.080 your job, And this is the way that you're treated 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:37.760 by the Chinese government. Meals are are, They're hot, There's 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:43.400 some kind of chewy meat, rice, bread, and vegetable. They 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.440 come with two later bottles of water. One you can 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.640 choose from a few options. All of them are pretty bland, 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.040 according to to I'm a pilot, I'd probably like that. 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.400 I like blond, bland food, so I'd probably be okay 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:02.240 with that. Number thirteen. Again, the hold on, where is 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.280 the upside of leaving the plane? Because you can go 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:09.160 in the galley anything from the first class meal selection, 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.719 they not let you stay on the plane. Is that 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.280 the issue here? That's probably the problem because they have 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:16.879 to bring the has met guys. Imagine what they're doing 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:18.840 to the planes. This is what they're doing the people. 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:22.360 Imagine what they're doing. The plays they knew them. Jeez 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:27.359 all right. Number thirteen a number thirteen on the list. 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:31.440 Breakfast is an English style omelet about that the Chinese 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:39.359 lovely English style at sausage, potato, bread, beans, a cereal milk, 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:45.160 orange banana muffin, and a two Leader bottle of water. 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.280 That's not a lot of water. To Leader bottle water, 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:49.680 it's not a lot of I like a lot of water. 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.480 I'm a water drenker. I like my agua. Uh so, yeah, 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:54.840 I mean it does sound like a great bread. I'm 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.160 not breakfast guy. I fast. I would probably miss that meal. 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.240 I would skip that meal. I'd like an extra Can 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:01.639 you ask them for extra lunch and dinner? Could that? 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:03.919 You know? Or just give me one big meal at 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.080 much time? Probably not, but just imagine knowing this and 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:12.960 taking that sixteen hour flight to go do it. Yeah, 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.399 that's true. I got two more points. And this is 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.000 our investigative reporter will call him, I'm a pilot, and 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.200 we do thank you for this. It's a very detailed 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:23.200 and I think it's good that we need to get 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:25.440 this out. I've not heard this before, but I know 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.879 his new information. He didn't have something better or different 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:31.200 when he goes to like Europe or like I don't know, Indian. 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.920 We look forward to hearing that story. But he also 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.480 says number fourteen, the internet is spotty and very slow. 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:44.639 Spotty and very slow and um guessing monitored. Right. The 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:48.800 Chinese Internet much different, and I've I've heard that the 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:52.720 good people of China have figured out the way. There's 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:57.000 a work around and you you get a device on 0:20:57.040 --> 0:21:01.440 the on the internet, and it's called v p N VPN. 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.480 Do you have a VPNA? How's that working? For you. 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.280 It's good, it's cheap, it's not expensive. But how much 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:11.560 does it cost? I paid fifteen bucks for it? Just 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:13.600 that's it. Do you have to pay it every month? No? 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.720 I got it from a buddy of mine. Can you 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:19.959 hook a hook a guy up or something? You know 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.560 what what I'm saying them if you knew somebody that 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:25.600 might need a VPN, you know, might have used to 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.159 have one that doesn't have one. I mean, just for 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.800 an entire year for a link to NFL games, and 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.240 you tell me to kiss your ass. How about this, 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.760 Let's negotiate. Let's make a deal. You hook me up 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.160 with your guy. One time fee fifteen bucks. I'll even 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:47.200 pay him twenty Okay, I'm generous. I will give you 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.760 the mother of all links. I will give you the great, 0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:57.400 the single link to unlock any sporting event you've ever 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:05.359 wanted to watch globally, really for free. You have a firestick? No? 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:09.600 Are you sure? I don't? All right, it sounds like 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:13.080 you've a firestick. No, this is what this is web based. 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.479 This is not that's web based, all right. It is 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:23.919 game changing, It is life changing. It is so good 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:27.160 that only a few people know about it. I'm one 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:32.280 of them. That's how good. That's how good it is. Okay, 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.920 that's all I will say. And I can say that 0:22:36.960 --> 0:22:41.320 because I was told that the people using said website 0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.480 are not in any kind of criminal danger. The people 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:46.359 who run the website are the ones that are in 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:50.720 some trouble. Yes, yes, that's the that's my offer, guest, 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:53.080 and that is my offer. I will give you the 0:22:53.200 --> 0:22:58.880 Holy Grail, the Holy Grail, and in return VPN. Yeah, 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:01.200 it's done. It's funny you say that because the same 0:23:01.280 --> 0:23:06.640 guy that I just mentioned, he was getting monitored by 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:11.320 the FBI and and they actually set him shut down 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.679 orders because he has like a bunch of towers in 0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.600 his place are used to anyway, and they would shut 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:18.679 and he'd they were told or he was told to 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:22.280 shut down his towers. Really, yeah, this is like back 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:26.959
