- IN JUST A FEW DAYS,
OVER 10 MILLION PEOPLE VIEWED OUR FIRST GUEST'S VIDEO.
TAKE A LOOK AT A LITTLE BIT OF THIS.
- IF I CAN PRETEND TO HAVE YOUR ATTENTION
FOR JUST A FEW MOMENTS,
MY EX-HUSBAND, MY NEW BOYFRIEND, AND THEIR DIVORCE ATTORNEY
ARE GONNA SHOW YOU THE SAFETY FEATURES
OF THIS BOEING 737-800 SERIES.
IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY FOR ME.
YOU'LL NOTICE IN THE HIGHLY UNLIKELY EVENT
THAT THE CAPTAIN LANDS US NEAR A HOT TUB,
EVERYBODY GETS THEIR VERY OWN TEENIE, WEENIE,
YELLOW SOUTHWEST BIKINI.
ONE SIZE FITS ALL.
TAKE IT OUT ONLY IF TOLD TO DO SO.
PLACE IT OVER YOUR HEAD,
WRAP THAT STRAP AROUND YOUR WAIST,
BUCKLE IT IN FRONT, AND PULL IT TIGHT.
AND IF YOU'RE TRAVELING WITH SMALL CHILDREN,
WE'RE SORRY.
[laughter]
AND IF YOU'RE TRAVELING WITH MORE THAN ONE CHILD,
PICK OUT THE ONE THAT YOU THINK MIGHT HAVE
THE MOST EARNING POTENTIAL DOWN THE ROAD.
SERIOUSLY, IF THERE'S ANYTHING AT ALL WE CAN DO
TO MAKE YOUR FLIGHT MORE ENJOYABLE,
PLEASE TELL US...
JUST AS SOON AS WE LAND IN SALT LAKE CITY.
AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU CAN DO
TO MAKE OUR FLIGHT MORE ENJOYABLE,
WE'LL TELL YOU IMMEDIATELY.
WE'RE NOT SHY ON SOUTHWEST.
THAT'S WHAT WE CALL VERY CHEAP ENTERTAINMENT.
NOBODY HAD TO PAY EXTRA, BUT YOU CERTAINLY DON'T A REFUND.
THANKS FOR CHOOSING SOUTHWEST. WELCOME ABOARD.
[cheers and applause]
- FORM DALLAS, TEXAS, PLEASE WELCOME
FLIGHT ATTENDANT MARTY COBB.
- OH, MY GOSH.
- YOU CAN CRY IF YOU WANT TO.
- I DON'T LOOK PRETTY WHEN I CRY.
- OH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING TO HAVE EMOTION.
I'M HAPPY THAT YOU'RE THAT HAPPY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO PULL AWAY WHEN YOU WENT TO TOUCH ME.
- [laughs]
- I'LL LEAVE MY HAND THERE. - OKAY, GOOD. THERE.
I NEED A SECURITY BLANKET.
- SO YOU ARE FROM DALLAS, RIGHT?
- I GREW UP IN LUBBOCK, AND I LIVE IN DALLAS NOW.
- ALL RIGHT, SO YOU'RE BASED OUT OF THERE,
AND THIS IS ON SOUTHWEST AIRLINES.
AND I THINK THAT SOUTHWEST IS KNOWN
FOR HAVING HUMOROUS--
YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I'VE BEEN ON SOME FLIGHTS WHERE PEOPLE--
BUT THAT WAS HILARIOUS.
THAT WAS PARTICULARLY FUNNY, THE ENTIRE THING.
AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A FLIGHT ATTENDANT, NUMBER ONE?
- ABOUT 7 1/2 YEARS,
AND I JUST HAVE TO TELL YOU... [laughs]
HOW HAPPY I AM TO BE HERE
AND HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND RESPECT
AND ADMIRE YOU.
AND I JUST HAVE TO--
[cheers and applause] SERIOUSLY.
I MEAN, I CAN WATCH YOUR SHOW,
AND IN AN HOUR, YOU CAN MAKE ME LAUGH AND CRY.
AND IT JUST-- I JUST ADORE YOU.
I JUST THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL.
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
- OBVIOUSLY.
- WELL, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAD AN IMPACT ON ME AS WELL,
'CAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS NOT ONLY--
'CAUSE PEOPLE TRY TO BE FUNNY ON FLIGHTS,
BUT THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY.
THAT WHOLE THING.
IF YOU GO ONLINE, IT'S, LIKE, THREE MINUTES
OF VERY FUNNY STUFF.
AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING IT THAT WAY?
- YOU KNOW, WE DID LEARN IT A CERTAIN WAY.
I WAS TRAINED A CERTAIN WAY.
AND I JUST AT SOME POINT IN TIME
JUST KIND OF PUT MY OWN SPIN ON IT.
AND IT'S JUST SO MUCH MORE FUN TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH
AND LET THEM RELAX.
YOU KNOW HOW STRESSFUL FLYING CAN BE.
AND SO IT'S JUST--
IT'S JUST MADE IT MORE FUN.
AND IT JUST--
IN MY LITTLE TUBE IN THE SKY,
I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOME PEOPLE'S LIVES.
- AND IT DOES.
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT PLACE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE,
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL OF FLYING
AND PEOPLE ARE GOING FOR DIFFERENT REASONS
THAT MAY BE SAD TO THEM.
AND YOU START OUT GETTING THEIR ATTENTION BY SAYING,
"CAN I PRETEND TO HAVE YOUR ATTENTION FOR A MINUTE?"
BECAUSE NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION.
- NO, NO.
- AND WE SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION
'CAUSE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS VERY IMPORTANT STUFF.
AND YOU'RE WORKING YOUR ASS OFF UP THERE.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS THINK
THAT THAT IS A THANKLESS JOB.
YOU ARE WALKING AROUND, SERVING PEOPLE
AND TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE, AND PEOPLE ARE RUDE.
AND SO I ADMIRE WHAT YOU DO
AND THE FACT THAT YOU CARE ABOUT MAKING PEOPLE HAPPY
AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR DAY.
YOU'RE AN AMAZING WOMAN.
- THANK YOU. [cheers and applause]
- IT'S TRUE.
- THANK YOU.
- SO YOU HAVE THREE CHILDREN, RIGHT?
YOU HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS AND A SON.
AND TWO OF YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE HERE.
YOUR SON WAS GONNA FAIL IF HE DIDN'T...
- [laughing] YES.
- HI.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW COOL YOUR MOM IS,
THAT--I MEAN, SHE'S A YOUTUBE STAR.
- YEAH.
I MEAN, WE'VE KNOWN HOW COOL SHE IS FOR A WHILE,
BUT I'M SO HAPPY THAT OTHERS GET TO SEE IT NOW.
SHE'S SO POSITIVE,
AND SHE'S SO DESERVING OF THIS,
AND I'M SO HAPPY THAT WE'RE HERE.
WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
AND I DON'T GET TO TELL HER ENOUGH,
SO I'M GLAD WE CAN BRING HER OUT HERE
AND SHOW HER TO THE WORLD, HOW AWESOME SHE IS.
- AW, THANK YOU. - YEAH, YOU ARE AWESOME.
- THANK YOU.
- LOOK...
WE DON'T BRING YOU HERE WITHOUT KNOWING
THAT YOU TRAVEL A LOT
AND YOU CAN HELP PROMOTE THE SHOW IN A BETTER WAY,
SO I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A GIFT

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.
THAT'S MARTY COBB. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
I WANTED TO TALK TO Y'ALL AGAIN
BECAUSE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW COOL YOUR MOM IS,
AND YOU HAVE A BROTHER,
BUT HE COULDN'T BE HERE 'CAUSE HE'S STUDYING
AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO FAIL; IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT EXAM.
- LOSER.
- SO THAT'S MORE IMPORTANT, AND I FORGIVE HIM FOR THAT.
- WE HAVEN'T YET.
- YOU HAVEN'T FORGIVEN HIM?
AND WHERE DOES HE GO TO SCHOOL?
- TARLETON STATE IN STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS.
VERY SMALL SCHOOL.
- AND I KNOW YOU'RE A SINGLE MOM,
AND YOU HAVE BEEN RAISING ALL THREE KIDS
ON YOUR OWN.
AND THEY WANT TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION,
AND THEY ARE WORKING HARD TO DO THAT.
AND YOU'RE TRAVELING AND DOING A LOT.
AND IT'S A LOT FOR YOU.
IT'S A WHOLE LOT FOR YOU.
SO OUR FRIENDS AT SHUTTERFLY WANT TO GIVE YOU $10,000.
[cheers and applause]
- OH, MY GOD, ELLEN.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU AND THANK Y'ALL.
- THANK YOU FOR, LIKE YOU SAID--
THE LITTLEST BIT THAT YOU CAN DO
TO ADD JOY INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES,
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
- AND YOU ADD THAT TO OURS EVERY DAY
JUST BY WATCHING YOUR SHOW,
AND I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO US
FOR YOU TO DO THIS FOR SOMEONE WHO DESERVES IT
MORE THAN ANYONE IN THIS WORLD.
- SHE DOES DESERVE IT. I KNOW YOUR STORY.
I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT,
AND IT'S A LOT TO BE IN A SINGLE MOM
AND TO RAISE THREE AMAZING KIDS WHO ARE DOING VERY WELL.
THEY ARE DOING REAL, REAL WELL.
- THANK YOU.
- ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
I WANT TO THANK MARTY COBB, ELLEN POMPEO,
AND PHILLIP PHILLIPS.
SEE YOU TOMORROW. BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER.
BYE-BYE.
