Speaker 3: heavy metal band and we were traveling to the United

24
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: States to record an album, as you do. You know,

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: we were touching a flight from Dulles, Washington, Dulles, I

26
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: believe to Lax And so we're all boarding the flight.

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: You know, we're in economy of course at the back somewhere.

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: It was about six of us whatever. So we're lining

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: up to get onto the plane and we're kind of

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: looking that woman in front of us looks really familiar.

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: End it up being Reese Witherspoon, and we're all kind

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: of just standing there like is this really happening?

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 4: Like are we in the.

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: Land of dreams right now? With Reese with a spoon

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: standing in front of us. So she was with a

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: few of her you know homies whatever and.

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Wells book Club.

Speaker 3: sit down, you know whatever.

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,720

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: I was even surprised in that, you know, I thought

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: she was big enough to be maybe on a private flight,

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: but there you.

47
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,120

150
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: non story.

151
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,760

157
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: promise of nothing's too weak for this.

158
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 7: It's so so you worked somewhere where a celebrity was nearby,

159
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 7: but you never saw them.

160
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 8: No, they're always tucked away in a corner filming, out

161
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 8: of the way of all the main work. But my

162
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 8: manager supervised the filming on over a weekend, and allegedly

163
