1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,320 There's such a level of entitlement here, but that's so indicative of our culture. 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,040 Now. It's like, I'm entitled to this. It's unfair. I 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,599 should have this, I should have that. They should be paying for this. 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,640 They are required to do this for me. It's like, actually, 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:22,960 no, they're not required to do crap. Welcome to another deep dive edition 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,879 of the Chicks on the Right podcast. I'm pretty stoked about today's topic because 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,000 you can't excited. I know, I don't really know why, but like, 8 00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:32,560 I don't know, it just sort of came out of nowhere. There 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,399 seems to be a lot of stories right now happening about air travel, and 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:43,000 so we thought we should break down all of these stories. A couple different 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,600 angles that we need to hit on when it comes to air travel, and 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,840 like the inconveniences and just like the weird stuff that happens on planes. Right, 13 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,200 do you like flying? Do you hate it? Oh? My god, 14 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,759 I hate it with the fury of a billion suns. Did you used 15 00:00:56,759 --> 00:01:00,119 to like it? I've never liked being on an aircraft. No, I 16 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:02,880 hate it too, I absolutely hate it. I don't have like a fear 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,640 of flying, but I have a discomfort with it. It's just like a 18 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,599 total discomfort and inconvenience, and I don't feel entirely safe on them. And 19 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,239 I just have never liked flying it all much. Try to go on a 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,120 road trip much rather could be in a car. Yeah, and I don't 21 00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:19,519 like driving either, So I just don't like the process of getting from one 22 00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,640 place to another, right, But I very much like being other places. 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,000 That's the problem. You just want to teleport. That's which I would love 24 00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:30,560 to teleport. Shouldn't it be great? It's coming. Elon Musk is going 25 00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:33,879 to invent that sometimes soon get on the sticks. It's not like he's not 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920 It's not like he's busy, right, I mean, only is like six 27 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,480 other things going on. But he'll eventually get there. We'll get there. 28 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,040 Just give it like five. You're great, because I am also one of 29 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:46,120 those people that does really, really poorly at any kind of turbulence. I 30 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:49,280 get very very worried and upset and nervous and terrified, especially now that, 31 00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:52,959 like, you know, twelve year olds are flying our planes, right, 32 00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:56,680 I mean, it's just it's not like solely is flying every single plane. 33 00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:00,359 Now. It's like you look at the pilot and you're like, you're like 34 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,280 my kids age, right, And I am very uncomfortable with that. I 35 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,359 don't like that at all. So yeah, I'm just not I don't like 36 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:08,800 being on planes, I don't like flying. I don't like any of it. 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,360 I just would I'd just rather stay in my house all the time. 38 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,080 Well, and it's like the older you get, the more of a homebody 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,599 you become. Right, Yeah, I totally get it. Well, So 40 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,639 one of the stories that we wanted to talk about today is the fact that 41 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,439 there is a fairly popular I mean, not hugely popular. She doesn't have 42 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,520 millions of followers that I'm aware of, but there's a TikToker who is who 43 00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:38,240 has some popularity, like one hundred thousand plus people that follow this very very 44 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:46,479 oversized person. And I guess like most of her account is all about flying 45 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,879 wild fat and so she has all these tips about how she does that and 46 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,479 you know what airlines are more a combinating than others and all of this stuff. 47 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,879 And so apparently she said for a long time that she buys to see 48 00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:04,800 because she's I would say, how much do you think she weighs, like 49 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,000 six hundred pounds, five hundred, six hundred pounds I can't even venture a 50 00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:10,039 guess. I don't know, like beyond like two hundred and fifty three hundred 51 00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:14,520 pounds. It's hard for me to even guess on that. After you become 52 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,280 you know, when you're past a certain weight, I can't. It's to 53 00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:22,319 me, it's that's just math, and I can't do that. I just 54 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,280 can't. Like it's like for me, it's like guessing how many jelly beans 55 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,960 are in a jar. Oh, I'm terrible like those I can't. I'm 56 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,800 like one of those people where I'm like, I'm out. I can't guess 57 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,560 that. So I can't guess how much you weigh after your past like a 58 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,840 certain I don't have a concept of that and I can't do that in my 59 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:40,639 brain. I just look at you and I'm like, you're morbidly obese. 60 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:45,000 That's like all I can say is and that's not mean for me to say. 61 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,960 I mean she is technically morbidly obese. Oh yeah, I mean I 62 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,080 think, well, she describes herself as plus size. But there's plenty of 63 00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:54,919 overweight people, like morbidly over overweight people who say that they are fat, 64 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:00,439 Like they call themselves fat. It's just that's what they know. Plus size 65 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:04,159 is like a size twenty. She's she's not a size twenty, she's a 66 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,000 six X. I heard her say, well, I don't even know. 67 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,319 I didn't know that that was an actual person size, but that right, 68 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,600 I did think that that exactly. No, that's not I don't think that's 69 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,560 plus size. Well I guess that's like plus plus plus size. That's like 70 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,839 multiply size, right, Like, it's not plus at this point. Now 71 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,600 you're like a you're to the power of kind of plus size. Yeah, 72 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,240 yeah, exactly. And I think everybody of average size. And I'm not 73 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,360 talking like thin or you know, rail thin or anything, but just average 74 00:04:39,399 --> 00:04:42,319 size. If you just look at like the average size of the population, 75 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,680 average sized people. If you're sitting on a plane, you're already seated, 76 00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:53,240 and you see a six hundred pound ish person coming down the aisle and you 77 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,920 have an empty seat next to you, everyone braces themselves like everyone is hoping, 78 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,839 oh my god, please don't let that person have to sit next to 79 00:04:59,879 --> 00:05:03,600 me, because you then don't have your own seat. You then are dealing 80 00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:09,079 with someone who's absolutely spilling onto you. Yeah, that person's not sitting next 81 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,040 to you anywhere. That person is sitting on you. Yes, exactly, 82 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,480 and that's not okay. So now this, this woman is now saying she 83 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:25,199 started a petition, a change dot org petition demanding that air air lines start 84 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,199 just giving an additional two or an additional seat or two to obese travelers like 85 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,240 herself for free. So she says, I'm fine buying a ticket, but 86 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,079 like, because of my gigantic size, I should get a second and even 87 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,720 possibly third seat for free. No okay, So then do skinny people get 88 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:53,879 a break on their ticket? She doesn't address that. She also doesn't address 89 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,319 like super tall people who are are super uncomfortable because they mean kills. The 90 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,879 thing that kills me about this is that there are a lot of people who 91 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:08,040 have signed her petitions. Oh, let's look at it. I think travel 92 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,160 and why I think every plus size traveler should get a free second and even 93 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,600 third seat on an airplane. Then you better keep watching and sign my petition 94 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,519 to make some real change. Let's just state fast. Plus size travelers need 95 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,399 more space, and many people agree that plane seats are too small even for 96 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:26,680 the advergeised person. As a plus size traveler myself, I know how uncomfortable 97 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,399 and unsafe it can be disqueezed into a tiny airplane seat. We are not 98 00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:34,040 asking for special treatment or luxury accommodations. We simply want enough space to travel 99 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:39,720 comfortably and safely without fear of being discriminated against because of our sives. It's 100 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,959 truly that simple. If you agree that every traveler deserves to fly comfortably and 101 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,879 without fear of discrimination, then go ahead and please sign my petition and share 102 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:50,040 it with everybody that you know. Let's work together to make air travel more 103 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:56,800 inclusive and accommodating for everyone. There's that word inclusive, right, inclusivity. 104 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,959 It's all about inclusivity and like hurting her feelings or making sure that she feels 105 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,720 welcome on the plane because she hasn't taken personal responsibility herself, right, right, 106 00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:09,920 So she feels like she needs two extra seats for free? Okay, 107 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,959 so for free? Yeah, okay, Well that doesn't that's not fair. 108 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,079 That's not fair to the people who are not plus size. And I'm putting 109 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,279 that in air quotes, right because I mean, what about the people who 110 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:26,839 are not her size that have to pay for that seat? Okay? So 111 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,240 what about somebody who is what about my daughter? Say, my daughter is 112 00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:34,879 you know, like when she was eleven twelve or she's not thirteen, and 113 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:40,759 she's pretty small, you know, she doesn't take up as much of the 114 00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:45,439 seat requires her to take up. So can I pay a discounted fare for 115 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,279 her because she I have to pay for a whole seat for her? What 116 00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:50,000 about when she was what about when she was a toddler and I had to 117 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,720 pay for a whole seat for her to sit there and she's really occupying like 118 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,040 what a third of it? Right when she was eighteen months old, I 119 00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,160 had to buy a whole seat for her. She didn't take up the whole 120 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:05,120 seat. Sometimes she sat on my lap when we were taking a flight someplace. 121 00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:09,240 So why is it that I had to buy a whole seat for her? 122 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,279 I should get a discounted rate on the fact that she was tiny, 123 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:15,399 you know, I mean, are we going to start doing this because this 124 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:18,759 is the thing. It's the same notion, it's the same idea. She 125 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,360 was smaller, so I should have to I should be able to pay a 126 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,680 discounted rate for the size of her body if this is what we're going to 127 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,720 start doing now. The petition was seventy She wanted seventy five hundred signatures she 128 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,200 was already at like sixty five hundred as of the taping of this broadcast. 129 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,039 Yeah, people are on board with this well. And I did see some 130 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,840 of the comments of the people that signed on to the petition where some of 131 00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,440 them were like, I'm signing this petition because I think in general, all 132 00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:48,679 plane seats are too small, and we've been getting the screws by the airline 133 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,679 industry, and so they should make every seat a little bit bigger because now 134 00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:54,919 everything is so uncomfortable. But I mean, there's a cost to all of 135 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,840 this. Do we really want there is to get airline travel more expensive than 136 00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:03,440 it already is, because that's what the result will be. You are absolutely 137 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,919 one hundred and fifty percent correct on that. I don't know because what you 138 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,039 wanted, they're gonna have to make new planes with these bigger seats. You 139 00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:13,200 don't think that the cost is going to actually get passed down to the consumer, 140 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,320 right, You're an idiot. Or they fly fewer people. I mean, 141 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,559 that's what ends up happening. If they did change all the seats, 142 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,480 they fly fewer people. So I how this wasn't a problem until now. 143 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,440 You notice, how like when you know in the seventies and eighties. In 144 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,159 the nineties, no one really, no one really bitched about this, like 145 00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:35,879 I feel like, and part of that has to do with we've gotten fatter 146 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,960 and fatter and fatter. We just have I mean, that's just something to 147 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:45,080 think about too. That's just one prong of this. If you look at 148 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,679 like what a fat person was considered even fifty sixty years ago, let alone 149 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,639 a hundred years ago in this country, it was a lot different. Like 150 00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,759 the fattest person in the country or the fattest person in the world was a 151 00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:03,799 lot different than the fat person now totally, you know what I mean. 152 00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:09,399 Well, and now because of the body positivity nonsense, Now it's all glorified, 153 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,120 right, So now everything is like we should celebrate the giganticness of this 154 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,000 person, right And then you've seen that show, like the show where they 155 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:22,399 do the bariatric surgery on the super super super fat people. Yeah, so 156 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,840 what's so that made me wonder? Like with her petition, I mean, 157 00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:28,639 she's obviously a person who gets around. Now she also posts videos of herself 158 00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:33,519 using the scooters at grocery stores, so she's obviously not comfortable walking for long 159 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:39,399 periods. But she presumably can still get herself to the airport or whatever. 160 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,840 What about the people who are bedridden because of their weight? Are they now 161 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,320 are going Are they going to expect airlines to send them like a crane to 162 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,679 pick them up so that they can fly? Because where does this stop? 163 00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,919 Where do all these accommodations stop? M Yeah, I don't know. That's 164 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,399 a great question, it's a really great question. Or send them transportation to 165 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,559 pick them up to in front because they can't do it themselves. Yeah, 166 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,600 yeah, I mean it's crazy, like and it's there's such a level of 167 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:11,639 entitlement here, but that's so indicative of our culture now. It's like I'm 168 00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:13,759 entitled to this. It's unfair. I should have this. I should have 169 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,000 that. They should be paying for this. They are required to do this 170 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,360 for me. Yeah, it's like, actually, no, they're not required 171 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,240 to do crap. They're a company that provides a service if you can get 172 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:28,279 if you can get the service yourself, then you know, you pay for 173 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,320 that service. And if you can't deal, you can't deal, Like if 174 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,879 you cannot fit into that seat, then you don't pay for that service, 175 00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:39,799 or you pay Dealok, that you pay for the seat that you need the 176 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,240 two seats that you need, amen. I mean that's the way I look 177 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,000 at it too, But so many people see it differently. They're like, 178 00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:52,840 no, that that particular company that's providing the service needs to change for me. 179 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,159 Actually they don't. They don't need to do that, right, I 180 00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:01,399 mean they really don't. They don't have to change the entire aircraft for you. 181 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,240 They don't have to do that. If you don't fit in that seat, 182 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,919 you don't fit in that seat. And if you need to fit into 183 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,919 two seats, you pay for two seats, yeah, or figure out another 184 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:15,120 way to travel. Right, there's also card a cruise ship. There's plenty 185 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,639 of name on those, right. I don't see why this is so difficult, 186 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,879 but it's it is a different mentality now than it used to be. 187 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,960 Total and it's me, me, me, entitlement, entitlement, entitlement. 188 00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:30,360 Well, and there's another big story about airline travel that caused the Internet to 189 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:35,039 explode earlier this week, and that is because there is a Toronto Blue Jays 190 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:41,279 player, a baseball player named Anthony Bass, who got absolutely everyone all up 191 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,559 in arms about a debate regarding his twenty two week pregnant wife who is apparently 192 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,039 also it's a high risk pregnancy. I don't know why, but it is 193 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,360 considered for whatever reason, to be a high risk pregnancy. His wife was 194 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,759 traveling alone on a plane with her five year old and two year old, 195 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,600 and during the flight, the apparently, and this was a piece of the 196 00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:07,720 story that I didn't know until after I read about all the hullabaloo, but 197 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,159 the flight attendants were passing around popcorn and as their snack or whatever. And 198 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,200 so the woman, the wife of this baseball player, got popcorn for her 199 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:22,120 kids, and the two year old, presumably the two year old, absolutely 200 00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:26,039 got popcorn everywhere, all over the floor, of around her seat, in 201 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,600 her seat, all over the place. So at the end of the flight, 202 00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:33,759 the flight attendants told the mom, you need to pick up after your 203 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:39,840 kid and the player. This Anthony guy absolutely lost his mind on Twitter, 204 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,440 took a picture that his wife obviously sent to him of the kids of the 205 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,360 mess underneath the seat and said, the flight attendant at United just made my 206 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,519 twenty two week pregnant wife traveling with a five year old and a two year 207 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:56,240 old get on her hands and knees to pick up the popcorn mess by my 208 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,000 youngest daughter. Are you kidding me? And it got to the point where 209 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,639 where he tweeted later that the United folks had responded to him and they were 210 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,879 taking care of this flight attendant internally, they were whatever, you know, 211 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,480 performance appraising her or performer remanding her. So she got in trouble. Yeah, 212 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,039 flight attendant got in trouble for it. Yeah. Okay. So because 213 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,879 the Internet massively divided, there's the there's the camp of people who are like, 214 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,120 of course you should pick up after your own kids, and then there's 215 00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:28,759 the other camp who are like, you pay airlines for a cleaning fee and 216 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:33,000 it's not insignificant, and so they are expected to clean up after you. 217 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,879 Much like when you go to a movie theater and spill popcorn, it's not 218 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:39,879 you cleaning it up, it's the people that work in the theater. I 219 00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:43,159 have mixed feelings about it. I do too. I'm mixed about it because 220 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,639 I do because you do play pay for that, you pay for a cleaning 221 00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,000 fee, you do, and you've seen them do that. And then there's 222 00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:54,600 a part of me that's like, okay, if they asked me to clean 223 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,720 up and I was in a high risk pregnancy and I didn't feel comfortable getting 224 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,679 If I didn't feel comfortable doing that, why does she do it? I 225 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,120 don't know. I don't know. Why does she get on her hands? 226 00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:05,200 You know, she felt bad, so she did it, and then she 227 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,360 bitched her husband, right, it's like that is also a problem. And 228 00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:13,639 then she bitched her sister, who is Jesse James Decker, which I don't 229 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:18,879 even know who that was until who happens to be an influence and like and 230 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000 a country singer who I'm sorry, I don't listen to her music. You 231 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,320 guys probably may know who she is, but she's also very influential, and 232 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,000 so she's tweeting all about it and like, oh my god, they made 233 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,399 my sister do this. Well, I mean, your sister could have said 234 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:33,159 no, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to get on 235 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,440 my hands and needs to do this. I'm going to high risk pregnancy. 236 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:41,440 Why can't women do that? Why can't women just say no, right, 237 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,879 I'm not going to get on my hands and knees just because you told me 238 00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:46,480 to do that. I pay for a cleaning fee, you do it. 239 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,440 I have I'm five months pregnant. I don't want to and you know, 240 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:54,799 my kids with me even you know the popcorn, right, I'm not going 241 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:56,440 to So no, I'm not going to do it. What are you gonna 242 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,440 do? Arrest me? Like, screw you. I'm not going to do 243 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,759 it. Seriously, I mean, what what is the worst thing that could 244 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,399 happen if she said no? If she felt uncomfortable with it to the point 245 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,519 where she's bitching to her husband and vision to her sister and like texting everybody 246 00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:11,600 about this, obviously she was upset about it. Yeah, why couldn't she 247 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:15,039 just say no? You know? So that was the first thing that that 248 00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:18,000 kind of annoyed me about that, And then the second thing is it's like, 249 00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:22,919 okay, well, I mean there's a part where you just kind of 250 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,679 like, I don't know, lean over or kind of it clean. Yeah, 251 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:29,200 there's I feel like there's some sense of personal responsibility with cleaning up after 252 00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:33,679 your kids, like even in a restaurant. I do that with with my 253 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:37,840 at least I used to when you know, my youngest was a little bit 254 00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:40,639 younger, and if she made a mess on the table, I'd even like 255 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,759 kind of wipe up. I always felt bad, like for servers and stuff. 256 00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:47,279 I'm like, oh my god, my family's freaking you know. You 257 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,679 know I always felt I always felt like because you know, some people feel 258 00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:52,399 that way, and there's been discussion about that too lately. I've seen it. 259 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,799 Where is it your responsibility to clean up a table or is it the 260 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:02,000 server's responsibility to clean up the table? Well, I mean I do feel 261 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,240 like they come around and they wipe down the table and everything, but I 262 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,279 always stack the dishes, I put like the silverware on top. I kind 263 00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:11,079 of wipe it down a little bit with like a napkin or because I always 264 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,920 feel some sense of personal responsibility of cleaning up my space, because it's like 265 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,480 if I'm being a slob or my family's being a slob, it's just me 266 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:21,920 being a mom, yeah, and watching out for my server, not being 267 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,160 a jerk. Like there's some semblance of you have to have some manners, 268 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,680 Yeah, have some manners. You know, these are your kids. It's 269 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,200 your responsibility to clean up a little bit after your children. So there's that 270 00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:36,799 part of me too, Yeah, And I mean there's so many odd weird 271 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,640 things about the story to begin with, Like it's hard for me to fathom 272 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:44,119 that a flight attendant actually told a passenger to do that in the first place, 273 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,920 like, that's just unheard of. You don't hear anybody saying, don't 274 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,519 you leave this plane until you clean up your mess. Yeah, it's just 275 00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:53,960 not a thing that you've ever heard. So maybe it was just such a 276 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,519 surprise to hear a flight attendant say that that she was kind of stunned into 277 00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,119 submission and then angry about it. I can see that, But I can 278 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,000 also see that she could have possibly de escalated the whole thing by saying, 279 00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:11,640 I am so sorry about the mess. I didn't realize you guys were going 280 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,799 to hand out popcorn. But I'm pregnant and I've got two kids to wrangle. 281 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,880 I'm not going to be able to pick that up. I'm sorry, 282 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,319 and I'm yeah, I'm not getting on my hands and knees on a disgusting 283 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,480 plane floor and I'm not going to do that because gross. I'm just not 284 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:27,799 doing it. And if you want me to clean it up, you can 285 00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:30,240 give me some sort of a broom or something to do that, and I'll 286 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:33,839 wait till everybody's off the aircraft. But I'm not doing it right now. 287 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,839 Now, You're not going to crawl on the floor to do it, right 288 00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:40,359 I mean, I mean this is the thing. It's like, I just 289 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,000 I probably would have been like, yeah, I'm not going to do that. 290 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,440 That's gross. I'm going to get some sort of nasty disease on this, 291 00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:48,759 like crawling around on the floor. I'm not doing it gross. So 292 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000 I have this. Yeah, the whole story is just really weird. But 293 00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:56,759 there is some subbling again with the personal responsibility. There is something to be 294 00:18:56,799 --> 00:19:00,440 said. I get it. Two year olds are going to throw crap, 295 00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:04,400 They're gonna they're gonna make messes. Why do you give it out popcorn? 296 00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:08,079 Yeah, that's just a yeah, especially to a toddler, like what are 297 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,759 you doing? Just what do you stop? What are you? What are 298 00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:15,720 you doing? Yeah, the whole thing is just crazy. So now how 299 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:21,519 do you feel about because and this also always causes you know, camps. 300 00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:26,359 Like there's two very different kinds of people. There's the people who pay for 301 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,079 an airplane seat that reclines, as they all do. And if it's all 302 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,759 a longish trip and they want to recline the seat the like two inches or 303 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,319 maybe one inch that it reclines, by golly, they're gonna do it, 304 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,200 regardless of how uncomfortable it may make the person behind them. And then there 305 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,519 are the people who are like, it is absolutely against all forms of etiquette 306 00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:49,920 to ever recline the seat, even though it does recline. So where are 307 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,200 you where do you fall? Well? I always fly and coach and those 308 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,720 seats recline like one inch, So I just don't see how it inconvenience. 309 00:19:57,799 --> 00:20:03,440 Is anybody the inch of reclination that they do. It's just so insignificant that 310 00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:07,400 I'm just like, why is anybody pissed off about any of this? And 311 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,519 what does it matter if you recline It doesn't even make you more comfortable, 312 00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:12,440 So why why does anybody get mad about it? What is the point of 313 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,880 them even reclining because they give you no more comfort. It's all in your 314 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:22,680 brain. If you're more comfortable reclining like one inch, then I'm sorry. 315 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,640 You may think that you're more comfortable, but that's all in your head. 316 00:20:26,039 --> 00:20:30,160 Congratulations on feeling more comfortable, but you're not more comfortable. It's not it's 317 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,079 not. And then when the flight attendants go around, they're like, you're 318 00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:36,440 gonna have to like have your seat go up. I'm like, oh, 319 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,319 okay, because you're going to crash the plane because of that one inch. 320 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,160 Okay, I understood for you. I'm just I always roll my eyes. 321 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,160 I'm like, okay, because what would happen if the plane started with every 322 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,039 seat reclined? Like, is it gonna is it somehow less safe at takeoff 323 00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:56,480 and landing because it's back a little bit. I just have never understood that 324 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,440 it is literally their their method of control. I'm like, okay, you 325 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,640 want to make sure you have control over me, I'll go ahead and like 326 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,079 forward my seat that one inch, Okay, lady. It's just it's so 327 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,640 dumb. It's just that it's all that plane crab that I just kind of 328 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,200 shake my head and I go, my god, this is like so stupid. 329 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,079 Yeah, so stupid. Well, and then the other big thing that 330 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,279 people argue about is the overhead. Do you because I listen, I wish 331 00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:26,119 they would just do away with it. I don't think there should be overhead 332 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,559 compartments. I think everybody should check luggage and you can bring your purse or 333 00:21:29,599 --> 00:21:32,480 your backpack and put it on your right there with you, because you are 334 00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:37,400 wasting everybody's time. I hate hate it, okay, In fact, I 335 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,440 hate it so much, especially the last time I flew. There was a 336 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,079 woman next to me, who was She goes, I'm going to miss my 337 00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:47,440 flight because of this shit. Yeah, because of because there are people who, 338 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,799 like, you know, we're in the middle of the plane, probably 339 00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:52,799 like right around where the wings are. And I was waiting with her, 340 00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:56,000 and I felt so terrible for her because she, I mean, she had 341 00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:57,839 to just wait for all these morons. You had to get all their stuff 342 00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:02,839 off the overhead and there's you know, women and these beta males who can't 343 00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:06,839 get these giant things out of the over overhead and they're waiting for like strong 344 00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:11,079 women to get the stuff that they had other strong women, if they had 345 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,759 strong women put up there for them, because they're too woosy to put it 346 00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:15,839 up themselves. And it's like and they can't get them down, so other 347 00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:18,160 people are having to get it down for them. It's like you're sitting there 348 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,000 for fifteen minutes to get off the plane because they have all the stuff in 349 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,839 the overhight compartment. And she's like, I'm going to miss my flight because 350 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:27,039 of this crap. And I just felt terrible for her, because she's right, 351 00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:30,759 it like holds up a plane. You should be able to get off 352 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,559 the plane when you land. It drives me crazy. I never put crap 353 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,759 up there. I always check. I always shame my luggage. And in 354 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:40,880 fact, I think instead of having to pay a fee for check luggage, 355 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,400 you should pay a fee for for the overhead been and maybe agree with you, 356 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,720 like, start to deincentivize people from using it, because man, it 357 00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:52,720 does slow everything down and it's just I hate it as it doesn't fit. 358 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,640 And then they bring it on and they end up having to take it with 359 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,839 like they take it and check it anyway because they're like, oh I thought 360 00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:02,519 it was I thought it was small. Seriously, like that thing is bigger 361 00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:07,319 than my thirteen year old for crying out loud, they played they play stupid 362 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,559 and they're like, oh I thought it was small. No it's not. 363 00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:11,079 You know it wasn't. You're gonna have to check it anyway. You're a 364 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,440 jerk and said that. I just these people. I'm so mad. I 365 00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:19,039 hate the overhead. I hate the overhead comment the same. Well, I 366 00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:23,200 have a feeling that you know what the surprise video is that I'm gonna show. 367 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,920 I don't. You don't I don't cause you said you said a word 368 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,319 from it that I was like, oh, she knows, so I don't. 369 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:36,359 I asked Vellen to share a video that we did back in our radio 370 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,720 days when we decided. I don't know why, but there was that big 371 00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:45,680 story years ago about that kid who made a clock bomb. Do you remember 372 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,359 that he made a bass and it looked like a bomb and it freaked everybody 373 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,319 out and he was known as like clockboy or whatever, and there were all 374 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,519 these press conferences about it, and so we decided to hold a press conference. 375 00:23:56,039 --> 00:24:00,599 And for my whatever reason, the press conference that we held was about 376 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,720 the reclination. The reclination and you said that earlier, so I thought, 377 00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:08,960 oh, she knows, So I thought I have to dig that out since 378 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,039 we're talking about airline travel. I got to dig that out because it includes 379 00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:18,079 clips from Louis c. K one of his most famous clips about air travel 380 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:23,319 with just the Miracle of Flight, and then also Ellen DeGeneres making fun of 381 00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:30,000 how little seats actually recline. Yes, And then it's us pretending to hold 382 00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:32,559 a big press conference about it, because we were like, if everybody can 383 00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:36,440 have press conferences, why can't we We're going to want to we did, 384 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,160 and so I thought this would be the perfect way to close out today's show. 385 00:24:40,599 --> 00:24:42,039 I cannot wait to see it. Oh my gosh, Okay, here 386 00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:45,920 we go, here we go. So we decided to have our own press 387 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:51,319 conference about rage in the sky. There's rage in the sky and it's over 388 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:57,519 the reclining of seats. Why are people choking other people about this? Can 389 00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:03,519 they not see how ridiculous? Flying is the worst one because people come back 390 00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:07,279 from flights and they tell you their story and it's like a horror story. 391 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:10,680 It's they act like their flight was like a cattle car in the forties in 392 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,160 Germany. That's how bad they make it sound, right, like it was 393 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:17,519 the worst day of my life. First of all, we didn't board for 394 00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:21,559 twenty minutes, and then we get on the plane and they made us sit 395 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,839 there on the runway for forty minutes. We had to sit there. Oh 396 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,640 really, what happened next? Did you fly through the air incredibly like a 397 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,839 bird? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight? You nine contributing 398 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:45,880 zero that you got to fly? You're flying, It's amazing. Everybody on 399 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,119 every plane should just constantly be going, oh my god, wow, yes, 400 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,559 your flight. You're sitting in a chair in the sky. Yes, 401 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:06,960 yeah, And can people not see just how tiny the reclination is. This 402 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:18,559 is me trying to relax on the plane. This is upright recline. See 403 00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:27,079 the difference there. Uncomfortable, comfortable. Stop at people, stop choking each 404 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:33,119 other over the reclamation. And those concludes our very important press conference. We're 405 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,640 not we're not taking any questions. No, no, no question no, 406 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,200 not that kind of press. No questions today, We're not no questions. 407 00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:48,759 This is no question. Oh my god, good time. Look how young 408 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:53,359 gods eight years ago, long ago, so young god. I need a 409 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,799 better cream. I need to like start applying more I cream.

Anyway, we 412 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,000 did have a very nice review this week. Thank you to those people who 413 00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:12,559 have taken the time to leave a five star review and whatever comment you want 414 00:27:12,599 --> 00:27:15,759 to leave, even if it's a hateful one.

In 423 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,960 fact, there won't be a deep dive next week because of that, so 424 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,440 we should point that out now that there will not be a deep dive the 425 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,480 week of however, that week is Apri and I plan on getting my one 426 00:27:56,559 --> 00:28:02,559 inch of reclamation.
