1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,440 Speaker 1: Gold. 2 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 2: It's Jones and Demander today. We've got other issues to fry. 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 3: The pub test top test does not past the pub test, 4 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 3: hub test tests, up test, shub test, the. 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 2: Hub test doesn't pass the sniff test. 6 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 4: To stop it, it's not. 7 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 3: Helpful today's pub test. Airline weight tax does it pass 8 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 3: the pub test. Southwest Airlines in the States is implementing 9 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 3: what someone has called a fat tax. A customer was 10 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 3: forced to pay fourteen hundred dollars Australian for a second seat. 11 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 3: The policy is that if you encroach on the neighboring 12 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 3: seat or seats, you have to purchase the number of 13 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 3: seats needed. The arm rest is considered to be the 14 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 3: definitive boundary between seats. That's what their policy says. People 15 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: are saying this is discrimination, this is fat shaming, and 16 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 3: it's quite discriminatory. It's you know what, depends who's going 17 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 3: to implement it on the day. We're the fast and 18 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 3: the hard and fast rules. 19 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 4: I've been at the end of that scale on the 20 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 4: heavy scale, and it is quite humiliating to be. 21 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: Weighed at the airport, I bet, but in front of everyone. 22 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: It's front of a bunch of big feed jeans, as well. 23 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: I point out this. 24 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 3: Isn't weighing you, This is just seeing if you get 25 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: the seat, I think. But also, how do you feel 26 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 3: if you've paid full fare and you've got your taking 27 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 3: up a third of a seat because someone's spilling over 28 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 3: into your if you're really tall though, which you can't 29 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: buy the seat in front. This is a practical solution 30 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 3: so everyone can sit comfortably because the airline seats are 31 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 3: getting smaller and smaller, that is true, people are getting 32 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: bigger and bigger. Airline weight tax Does it pass the 33 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 3: pub test? 34 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: Damn straight, it does. I think it's a fair call. 35 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: I weigh seventy five kilos and if I carry a 36 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: bag on that way thirty I have to pay extra. 37 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: But someone weighing in at one hundred and twenty kilos 38 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: carrying a carry on bags to seven doesn't have to 39 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: pay any extra. How is that even fair? You know what? 40 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 4: I think it's really sucky that they make you pay 41 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 4: the tax. But I also feel really sorry for the 42 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 4: poor folks who's stuck sitting next to somebody who's carrying 43 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 4: some weight, and as somebody who's carrying that weight myself, 44 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 4: because you know, I listened to the beatles far too 45 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 4: many times and decided that say their word was golden. 46 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: And I carry that weight. 47 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 4: You know, I think that we need to take mercy 48 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 4: on the poor skinny folks out there. 49 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: I think it's a bit rougher. I look for me, 50 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: it's the leg room as well. Like I feel like 51 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: with a weight, a lot of people can do something 52 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: about it. But having been six or two and you 53 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: sit down and your knees at the back to the 54 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: next seat, and you feel like you're in the person's back, 55 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: and you can't really do much about your height, can you. 56 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: But it's a bit harsh. But the airlines could do 57 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: something about their leg room as well. 58 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 2: Now it doesn't pass the pub test, like airlines cannot 59 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: fatch shame people. And you know what, are they going 60 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: to make people pay more on a bus on a train? 61 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: How about the airlines make bigger seats so some people 62 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: unfortunately overweight can actually fit in the seat. 63 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: You know what they did, if they made the seats bigger, 64 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: they'd pass that cost on. 65 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: Maybe we should all strip down to our underpants and 66 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 4: get on the scales like they do at the UFC 67 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 4: and start trash talking. 68 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: Maybe I think I'll stay home. 69 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: That's just a Jet staff flight, isn't it.
