What you just witnessed in that short video, is a charger
that someone is using on a plane.
On a plane.
Now there are normal chargers that don't light up like that.
That wouldn't annoy people on the plane, but whoever that person was decided, no, I
want to be as annoying as possible on this flight and use a seizure inducing charger
for a six plus hour red eye flight.
Red eye is the most important part of that.
Everybody's trying to get sleep on a red eye.
You know that.
That's the whole point of the red eye, is you get sleep if you can,
as somebody with a neon thing going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's not going to help on a red eye. Come on, brother, you got to know that.
This ain't a rave, okay? No one's looking for a light show.
What are you doing? But there are other examples.
Like the person who decided. You know what?
I think my kid needs to wear this on a flight.
Let's take a look.
All right, so here you see a flight. There's less information about this.
I don't know if it's a red eye flight, but why would you dress your kid
in that costume on a flight?
But why are you doing this? My man, why are you doing this?
Okay, so first let me give you a standard disclaimers.
The kids. Adorbs.
We don't know if that guy next to the kid is the parent or.
Or the person in the other seat is the parent.
We don't know.
Good point. Good point.
Okay. Yeah.
That guy could be an innocent bystander.
We don't know, because I know you're going to want to judge the parents.
No, you should judge the parents. They're terrorists.
- Okay? - They're not terrorists.
Okay.
But yes, guys, again, be mindful of others.
It's not that hard.
I know it seems like a fun outfit, and it probably is on Halloween,
and it probably is in a lot of cases.
Right. And the kid feels fun wearing it.
And I get it.
It glows more during the dark, but you can tell the lights are out there, people.
That's when people want to sleep and wah wah wah wah wah and colors doesn't help.
- I know. - Exactly.
Look, I'm speculating.
I don't know for sure, but I think I know what happened with that costume.
Okay, the kid wants to wear the costume.
No. Yeah, and if the parent says no, the kid throws a temper tantrum.
Yeah.
So the parent decides instead of suffering quietly on my own through this temper
tantrum, I am going to make everyone else suffer by giving in to the child
and letting the child wear the obnoxious costume, that that's what the parent did.
That is likely true. Yeah.
But we don't know.
Of course, but it look, this goes to the whole thing about not just planes.
It's the reason why it happens on planes a lot is because that's the one place
where we're all smooshed together.
Right?
But it's more about humanity and how we interact with one another.
So I told a story on a previous bonus episode for the members, where there
was a guy who was sitting next to me, but, you know, across the aisle,
and he took off his shoes, then his socks, and then started waving them around, okay.
And then sat there without his socks the entire flight.
And then when we, landed. Look, he's from a different culture.
I don't know if it's because of cultural reasons, etc.,
but he decided that he had to get out of there as quickly as he could.
So he started stepping over.
He was like, nearly parkouring through the crowd and like, you know,
we were all the way in the back, right?
So he's like pushing someone to get ahead, like jumps over another seat, etc.
and everybody's like, what is going on?
He had no respect for anybody else's personal space.
And then I finally get out 20 minutes later, you know, you're in the back
of the plane, takes a long time, and the brother's sitting right there and like by
the gate, he didn't have anywhere to go.
He just thought like, these suckers are just sitting here without elbowing forward
and getting out first.
I think he was trying to do everyone a favor by getting his stinky feet
off the plane as quickly as possible.
Okay, I'm positive that he was not that thoughtful.
Okay, I have a request and I think, listen, we have a sophisticated audience.
I don't think anyone in our audience would do such a thing.
But as someone who has flown frequently.
I just want to put out this PSA. It's really important.
If you are on a flight, it is critical.
It is mandatory, a requirement, if you will, to hold in your farts.
You can't fart on a plane.
People love farting on planes, and I don't like it's because
you don't know who it is.
The engine's super loud and it's like, who did that?
Who did that? It's so wrong.
People are trying to sleep. In some cases, I see.
I didn't think of all of these, like, machinations and,
and and the soap opera behind the fart, like, oh, the engine is roaring.
I can let it rip now.
I guess that's the thing. It's probably a thing.
So one of the recent flights that I was on with my husband, I fell asleep.
I was doing great, but I was fortunate enough to not have
a serial farter sitting behind me, and so poor Christian couldn't fall asleep.
And this was a red eye flight.
He couldn't fall asleep because the farts were keeping him up.
- Jesus, it was that bad. - Wow, that had to be a series of forts.
You got to hold it in. You got to hold it in.
- I'm sorry. - Or you could go to the bathroom.
That's another possibility. True, true.
Yeah.
Although every time I think of Ben Mankiewicz's famous line where he's like,
I'd rather be hospitalized and use a bathroom on a plane.
Okay, okay, he's willing to use it for, you know, lesser things, but not.
- For lesser. - Things.
I don't want to get it, like, too descriptive.
- You get. - It?
No, they get it. They get it.
Finally, I do want to go to the last video here, because I don't know
if this would fall under the same category as obnoxious and unacceptable,
but people do get creative with what they can accomplish on a plane like this guy.
Let's watch.
Great.
You're right. It is literally crafty.
- Very crafty. - Very, very crafty.
It's a handsome craft. No craft.
- I don't know. - All right, anyways, we nailed it.
Nailed it.
Anyways, yes, I try to work on a plane that also annoys people.
I take it a whole bunch of computer like laptop papers, books, etc.
and people, like, roll their eyes.
- Do they. - Really?
Yeah.
No, there's a good reason why. Because I take a little.
Because I have to get all that stuff out of my bag and put it in.
Oh, yeah.
And as I'm taking 15 seconds to do that, everybody's like, I roll, I roll, I roll.
I'm like, all right, all right, I'm getting to it.
Just give me a sec.
Besides, there's like a giant line. Anyway.
- What difference does it make? - Yeah.
God, I can't because of the limited overhead compartment space.
People are, like, such a rush to get on the plane.
Including me.
I hate that process so much. Like the the terror you feel.
It's like, oh my God, what if they make me check my bag in?
Oh my God, like, I got to get on the plane.
I got to get on.
Checking in your bag is the worst. It's the worst, it's the worst.
What a waste of time.
Believe me, I travel all the time. I hate it, and I. I always get caught.
You know why? Because I check in too late.
I finally started to correct it. Like, literally today when I was like.
Oh, right. Checking early.
Checking early.
Because when you check in late, they assign you a seat
further back in the plane and or a group a boarding pass zone that is later.
So by that time when you're boarding the later zones.
Oh good night, Irene. They're gonna make you check.
You don't check in ahead of time and have your boarding pass ready to go.
Like, you choose your seats and. Yeah.
So it's a little bit more complicated than that, but when you're checking in,
checking in to get on the flight.
No, I would often do that at the airport.
And then I started doing it on the way to the airport.
And finally, like I said, like, this is how long it took me to catch on.
I. And to be fair to me, I'm not just a knucklehead.
- I've got a lot going on. - No, you.
Do, you do. I get.
It right.
But today I was like, all right, check in early as soon as you get the email,
because then maybe you won't have to check in your, carry on.
