00:03:16
Speaker
Yeah. Um, I've been getting, uh, and it's, it's been wild, uh, and like super fun, but, uh, I, I did a, a video of, uh, where I just kind of like poked fun at the necessary conversation podcast, um, which are one is a podcast I follow. I've listened to them and, um,
00:03:37
Speaker
And I just thought it would be funny to do a little parody of them. And I just did it kind of on a whim. You know, I'm a big Power Ranger fan. And so I did ah one of like, you know, what if the what if the necessary conversation podcast like was based in Angel Grove and.
00:03:54
Speaker
just them talking about power rangers and now the parents like kind of don't believe them and they think that Rita's the good guy and you know, whatever. And yeah, a lot of people seem to like it and you know, threw some ideas out for other ones. And so I just kind of kept it going and it's been awesome. And you know, they've responded by not saying the word, but he went viral.
00:04:16
Speaker
ah you went viral. it reminds me of that. um We're going to pause for you. We're going to pause. Yes. Viral. Remember that scene in Birdman? Have you seen Birdman? I've seen it once. Yes. Okay.

00:05:39
Speaker
But we have to lie, Ron. We we totally had one last time. i know. I know. Okay. But, ah we didn't read it. Exactly. to wrap it up though. Uh, thank you everyone who has, uh, watched the videos and commented a lot of nice things. And I do really enjoy doing them and I definitely have more. I have a list of stuff that,
00:05:59
Speaker
but list list of ideas that i'm going to go through. And, um, in fact, after this episode, I have to finish editing one and, uh, it'll be, it'll be good. Um, it is, kind you kind of become a slave to the internet, right? I mean, you're like doing this nonstop now, right? Yeah. Ever since, uh, Ever since it kind of popped off, it's been it's yeah, it's kind of been nonstop trying to make like the they kind of take longer than you'd think um because they seem like just really quick, like four people talking to each other. But it's ah it just takes time. It just the time and also writing it like a I mean, this won't this will be out by the time. But but right now I have to edit the He-Man one. And it just took takes time, you know, like in for instance, I just forgot to do.
00:06:44
Speaker
on the script that I wrote, I forgot one of the lines. And so I had to do it another one really fast and like get back into like the, you know, the mom. I was like ah the mom character.
00:06:55
Speaker
And so yeah I don't know. It's whatever. It's first world problems. I'm just saying it takes a long time. But congrats on your success. I hope it continues for you. Yeah. I hope that people keep liking it. Yeah. Good shit, man. Good. Yeah.
00:07:10
Speaker
But, um you know, on a topic that's way more fun. What? Gas.
Political Views and Gas Prices
00:07:15
Speaker
Gas. I love gas. We talked about gas prices last episode. We're gonna talk about it again because it hasn't gotten better.
00:07:22
Speaker
It hasn't? We know the average gas price as of yesterday. I didn't check today. And today is April 1st. And this is not an April Fool's joke. Oh, didn't even think of that. Maybe we should have done something. No, and no. Fuck it. Yeah.
00:07:37
Speaker
sorry I just thought of Norm MacDonald's. It's probably his best joke that he tells. I'm a deeply closeted gay man. Yeah, yeah. I'm a deeply closeted gay man. Oh, so you're gay? no I'm not gay I'm deeply closeted.
00:07:54
Speaker
oh so That's one of my favorite jokes. Yeah, it's average gas price right now is four dollars in America. I'm sure California, it's much, much, much higher.
00:08:04
Speaker
Yeah. New York is higher. I saw someone in Florida in our, uh, in our hometown, a good old spring hill, Florida, spring of Florida. Um,
00:08:16
Speaker
It's like $4.27. $4.06 right now. California is averaging $5.89. Florida is averaging $4.21. And my state of New York is averaging $3.98. But remember, if you look at just the city, it's much higher than that. Hey, get out of here with those gas prices. Insane. Absolutely insane. And...
00:08:42
Speaker
Well, here's the thing. Sorry. Airline for airline, ah airline prices, gas for airlines ah doubled. So who knows how much they're spending right now? So yeah. Deal. What airline gas? Yeah. Why is it so expensive? Airplane fuel. Yeah. It's a, what's to do with airplane fuel, airplane fuel. Yeah. That's a good joke. That's a good one. It's okay.
00:09:05
Speaker
That's now that is comedy right there. Wrong. There you go. Um, I it's it's that we are this this in my opinion and we don't usually talk about this stuff, but it's getting to the point where, you know, and we have a podcast. We're going to fucking talk. We have opinions. We're going to talk about it.
00:09:22
Speaker
This war pineapple should not go on pizza. odd Sorry, yeah you said opinions. You said opinion. I did. This war and pineapple should go on pizza. But anyway, um wow.
00:09:34
Speaker
This war, in my opinion, is absolutely pointless. Yeah. this This is our Vietnam in a lot of ways. Yes, but I mean, just the idea, too, of like, ah here's the other thing, too. I mean, there are headlines being written by all kinds of sources. You never know what's true. Sure. And you hear people's opinions on the draft. Like, what's your opinion on the draft? The draft? i I'm against the draft. i Oh, same. 100%.
00:10:02
Speaker
I mean, if it was something where we can justify going to war like we did in World War II, then maybe I could get behind it if we actually. But ah no. And they changed the recruiting age here in America to I think it's 42 in the army.
00:10:19
Speaker
can enlist up to 42 years old
00:10:22
Speaker
Oh, i that was like you have to be 42 or above. two No, no, no, no, no. We're not there yet. But like the draft age, I still believe is 18 to 25 or 19 to 25. Yeah. If they change that, ah that's going to that's going to be why. If they start drafting people 40 years old, like, you know, where I'm 39, you're you're 38, I believe. I'm like 28. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if they start drafting us, I'm like, fuck off.
00:10:47
Speaker
Yeah, but I mean, they would stick us behind a computer looking at a GPS. I don't know. Would they make the 42 year olds put boots on the ground? Absolutely. They would need manpower. They would put us on the fucking. They need some Bengay if that's going to happen. Yeah, I know. A lot of bad, a lot of bad news. lot of bad news. Yeah, I need that foam ruler, brother.
00:11:06
Speaker
Yeah, i am I'll be in Canada. Fuck off. I don't care. I've never been to Canada. Canada's so nice. someone i go to canada I go to Canada a couple days for work. I go to Vancouver.
00:11:17
Speaker
Oh, that's cool. who was be um Well, um yeah, i I think the whole idea... i so I don't think the draft will ever happen again. um oh yeah. Well, I mean, we've so we've said a lot of things wouldn't happen again, and look at this fucking administration. Yeah, but no, this is serious. It seriously won't ever happen again. Yeah, okay. This is going to be a warless president, too, and here we are. Right.
00:11:40
Speaker
Do you think that the war is done because of ah Epstein files to get... heat off of him potentially but no i don't think so i think it's a different agenda i think they're separate i think it's a different agenda i think i think he's using it to his advantage and by he i mean the president but i i don't think that this is scapegoat for the excellent files i think they're two separate i think this is netanyahu's war and we're just helping him And another thing is like ah the thing that bothers me the most is all the money spent on the war. But yet we didn't have enough money for like snap benefits and like helping people here. No, it's like now where did this money comes from. I mean, he ran every year, every time he ran 2016 and 2020 and Every time he ran, it was about putting America first.
00:12:32
Speaker
right But if all these people are still fucking starving, all these people can't afford groceries. Now they can't afford gas. How are you putting America first when you started a senseless war? Okay. Iran is not in power. anyway Like, okay, that's, that is a good thing. Yes. Okay, great. Cause they were a threat to us, but it turns out they actually were a threat.
00:12:54
Speaker
They weren't, there was no issue with them. We just went in. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't, I don't, I also don't, I won't ever claim to be an expert in politics stuff. like I'm just not. I can only take you know, take in what I read and, and ah do, you know, I, I try to hear both sides of, you know, every opinion.
00:13:19
Speaker
um You know, I, I don't really go to like one news source for everything. Just kidding. It's John Oliver last week tonight. That's where i get my news. You know what? John Oliver actually makes the most sense. He does. i I love it. Even though he's funny, his, his show last week tonight, it,
00:13:37
Speaker
Yeah, it's so much sense because I'm sitting there and i'm like, this man is just spewing common sense. And yes, it may be more towards a liberal rhetoric, but he is making sense. yeah And I don't think he's doing it for a party reason. He's doing it because this is what makes sense.
00:13:54
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. it's i this why i think this war is completely pointless. And obviously we're we're being affected by it. um Ever since he started implying tariffs and things like that, we we have been affected.
00:14:10
Speaker
Prices have gone up. I want to get your opinion, too, on this about ah is his name ah Drusky, the comedian. Do you know? w Maybe. Yes. um He's the comedian that dressed up as Erica Kirk.
00:14:26
Speaker
Oh, yes. Erica Kirk is like super pissed off now. Oh, no. She's so sad. She is the happiest she's ever been. Stop. you know it's like But it's um it's a
00:14:41
Speaker
kind of wild. It's just like that's the thing that threw me off the most is like I'm not for political violence at all. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I don't think that would happen to Charlie should have ever happened. Absolutely not. Even though I disagreed with pretty much everything. 99% what he said.
00:14:59
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Should not. The only thing I will agree with him is that he started the conversation, even though he was completely one sided and, you know, but he he did attempt to make a conversation. So I will give him credit on that. Yeah. um Yeah. also Just found out. I read a headline yesterday that the bullet that shot him Yeah. was is it the That's what I read, too. And at first and all and all the comments are like, yeah, well, no shit. Yeah. We knew this from day two.
00:15:30
Speaker
Yeah. So, OK, OK, now. OK, OK. Calm down. So when I first saw that, um if I ever see something crazy like that being posted on social media, I never just automatically believe. Neither do I. By default. And it doesn't matter how.
00:15:47
Speaker
much it makes sense either. I'm just like, no, I'm going to wait. Let me wait. It's almost like when the new, when a new iPhone comes out, I'm never the first one to get it. I'm like, I'm going to wait it. They're going get all the bugs out.
00:15:58
Speaker
Then we're going to get the real deal. I don't have an iPhone. I'm an Android guy. Well, and whatever the new thing, um, like, you know, you know, when you buy, like when the new line of Porsche comes out, you don't get it right out of gate. Right. Ron, you like, wait for the new one to come out. My, my Porsche and my Ferrari in my garage. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I don't have a Porsche. I have a driver and he drives me around, but I just figured he would. um so His name is Uber.
00:16:24
Speaker
Yes, his name is. German guy. His name is Waymo. His name is Mr. Waymo. Waymo. that For those who don't know, that's the driverless ah car. The autonomous car. They scare the shit out of me, too. I want to do it so bad. They scare shit out of me.
00:16:39
Speaker
they're They're all over Hollywood. I want to try it so they're all over San Francisco. They're trying to bring them here in New York. I don't think it'll work here in New York. We just have too many fucking people and too many too many obstructions. But we'll see. but um They got to do like an automatic like horn honking with the Waymos. They got to make them more New York aggressive. But you were saying, you were saying.
00:16:57
Speaker
Oh, what was I saying? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. If I see like a crazy headline, i don't automatically believe it. So I saw like, oh, the bullet didn't match the gun. And I was like, oh, interesting. But we'll see. And then oh I'm seeing more people talking about I'm like, OK, is this a real thing that's happening? And if so, here's the thing, Ron. You want to know where my mind went?
00:17:17
Speaker
I'm sure, buddy. Sure, buddy. I'm like, if even if it doesn't match, I'm Are they actually going to investigate this? Do you think? No. I mean, no, no, I don't think anyone's going to come to justice. Like, they're going be like, oh, that's crazy. Moving on.
00:17:35
Speaker
I just like, I also like with the whole text messages with the, with the, I forget the guy who shot him. Um, the guy's name, uh, the guy, I want to say Kyle Rittenhouse, but I think that's wrong. No, that's the kid who, uh, he was, the that's the that's the other guy. Yeah. That was the other guy who got away with shooting people. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. They, he became a, a saint. Got away with it anyway. Um, yeah, but the, the guy that shot him, it's like the tech, apparently like the, with the text messages and stuff like that, the way he was texting his friend, his transgender friend, um,
00:18:05
Speaker
Like it was spoken more like an adult of our age or older versus how a Gen Z actually talks or Texas. No cap. Yeah, kind of. Yeah. So not like that. So much slang, but just the words that he was using, like people were looking at that going. Something doesn't seem right.
00:18:22
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So is it an inside job? I hope not. I really hope not. Because I had heard from some like more like kind of far liberal friends that they're like, oh, she did this. Erica Kirk planned this. And I'm like, that's I don't know. i mean, is anything's possible, but I mean, I have to see the evidence. I'm not just I'd have to see the evidence. But also yeah also like the way she acted about things afterwards. It was so fucking weird. I don't care who she's mourning with fireworks. Hmm. No, you know what the weirdest thing was? The weirdest thing as far as it was when she there was a video of her crying at the coffin and it seemed so performative. And that was what I was thinking. And I felt terrible thinking that because I'm like, Robert, like, what are you doing? Thinking ah this this woman is grieving over her recently killed husband. But.
00:19:16
Speaker
it looked it was so it was but It was just so weird. And I'm like, why is this even being filmed? like Someone is filming her. and And then she's also doing this. like She's literally being like, boohoo, I miss you. like it It seems so bad. But I didn't think anything. I'm like, you know what? Maybe maybe I'm being biased. maybe Yeah, and it's hard to say. really but but but what you were saying right after the fireworks display, that's when I was like, all right, that was bullshit. like That was bullshit.
00:19:45
Speaker
And- Like, and i say this, like, i okay, I'm sure people know, people who know me know that i am I am a liberal. I vote Democrat most of the time. I have voted Republican, and I have been conservative, and I do have conservative views.
00:20:00
Speaker
But this just doesn't seem real to me. This is like fantasy land. This isn't me being political. This is me looking at something and going, I don't fucking know. Yeah. like yeah and like Like you said before, political violence, absolutely fucking not. The man did not deserve to... i did not deserve to die. But like, the whole connection with Erica and Donald Trump at the beauty pageants and how she knew him prior, it's like,
00:20:26
Speaker
it's very it's It's terrifying is what it is. It's terrifying to think that this could be an inside job. This could have been something done to get him out of the way. But why would you get your number one cheerleader out of the way so she could take over?
00:20:39
Speaker
i don't know. I think it's weird. yeah I think it's awful. i I do not like this at all. This is... Sam, I am. I do not want your green eggs in here. I know. i don't know what I'm doing right now. but yeah It's... it's Because I have these thoughts and I watch the news a lot. I do try. i do.
00:20:56
Speaker
I watch CNN mostly. I'm sorry, but I do watch Fox news sometimes because like you said, I do want to see the other side of the the other side of the table. And it's, it's written like, um yeah, he he has the lowest approval ratings right now.
00:21:08
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Like, ah eat like I see every day I see Republicans on the internet, people I don't know that are like, You know, they're like ah like, I shouldn't have voted for him. You know, this is a mistake. And it's like, well, you know, you've you made your bed. lie in it.
00:21:24
Speaker
This is what you wanted. I will say I do. i I do think that um I do think that. don't know word this. I do think that there is a difference now between between Republican and MAGA.
00:21:40
Speaker
A hundred percent. like i I feel like MAGA is like the offs, like carnage off of venom. I think I think even though I don't agree with her on a lot of things, I think Nikki Haley would have been a good president. Yeah.
00:21:51
Speaker
And I will go out and say that I think Nikki Haley would have done a fine job um because she puts the Constitution first. Yeah, there's plenty of good Republicans. They exist. so And I think if you're – I don't know where they are, but they exist somewhere, yeah. I mean – I just think – like for instance, um I also want – I think there are a lot of MAGA people that are like letting go because i have a buddy who ah has very, very like – MAGA parents like they go to rallies and stuff. And he is definitely in that spectrum of MAGA a little bit. OK, but I remember um I was hanging out with him ah and I was in his office and he had a ah map of the world up.
00:22:32
Speaker
And he I don't remember if it said Gulf of America or Gulf of Mexico. I don't remember which one. I think it might have said Gulf of Mexico, but he joked and he's like, oh, there's a I forget. He said, like, oh, there's a typo.
00:22:45
Speaker
But then he's like, I'm just kidding. I'm not like into that stuff. So even he was like, I might like his views, but I'm not into the crazy town. You know, it's I'm wondering. mexico Shut the fuck up. I mean, it's.
00:23:00
Speaker
what What was the big deal changing that? That was, that was so stupid. It was stupid because we, you know, we had a lot of people hating on Mexicans and it's like, why do we have a goal? Yeah, but you're in line for fucking Taco Bell and that's a horrible example of Mexican culture. But I mean, that's where it stems from.
00:23:15
Speaker
Yeah. yeah It's, it's, ah it's weird. um But yeah, so, ah but here's the thing, Ron, as someone who is not an expert in gas prices, I,
00:23:29
Speaker
Does the president, because I remember Biden getting shit for this too, and I was reading that, and I'm not sure, but does the president actually have an effect on gas prices, or is it strictly oil companies?
00:23:42
Speaker
They say no, that the president doesn't have, it like, he doesn't affect the stock market and stock stuff like that. um But it kind of seems like they do. Like, it like they they say they don't. And, you know, the oil what the oil, but, like, we kind of started a war and they're closing...
00:24:03
Speaker
yeah but straight the Straight of Hormuz? Yeah, straight of Hormuz. like, now we can't get our oil and gas prices are $4.06. Yeah.
00:24:14
Speaker
I mean, what I mean, yeah, it's the oil companies, but like if we can't access the oil because we started a war, it's kind of right. Actually, good point. It's kind of the president's fault. um Yeah. I mean, wars are going to make everything expensive. I mean, I mean, airline stocks are have been going down. OK, because that kind of the war, you know, it's like.
00:24:36
Speaker
yeah Well, here, I'll segue into something that I didn't write down, but I i want to get your opinion on it.
Electric Planes and Pilot Responsibilities
00:24:43
Speaker
But um you know as far as ah plane gas prices going up, would you ever be comfortable? And maybe this is a better question for a pilot, but would you ever be comfortable with an electric plane? No, I'm just saying, you know, this might be better for a pilot. some of maybe be better for Someone who's actually give a shit about. Not the person who, you know, saves my life. If I have a heart you know, just pass out the peanuts, brother. Which, by the way, we don't do peanuts anymore because of no allergies allergiesgies yeah allergies. So you learned something from me today. um um So, Ron, um so would I be comfortable with an electric plane when the technology is there? Of course.
00:25:21
Speaker
Yeah, of course I would. But once the technology is there and good, of course, I'd be fine with the electric plane. Who wouldn't be? Right. I have seen. um I don't know. yeah You know, you know i sorry, but if like if if it's able to hold a charge or able to be charged very quickly, we wouldn't have to wait for fuel trucks anymore. I mean, it would be it would be very that would be great.
00:25:43
Speaker
But yeah, it's not there yet. Right. now A pilot might say different. Actually, they, you know, obviously they can look into the logistics and what it's actually flying a plane, but I might, if the technology is there, absolutely.
00:25:55
Speaker
Why not? Right. Um, something that I never noticed and I was, I, I used ah the old chat GPT with it. Um, Because like, I'll be honest, like I had a connecting flight that was really rough. And so I was like, man, do they really do security checks on these planes to make sure they're good? And I looked it up and it said that the pilots actually check the plane, the outside. Yeah, yeah they walk around. It's called a walk around. But I didn't believe it. I was like, really? I've never seen that. Like, but I've also never noticed. No, you wouldn't because you're boarding the plane. So yeah you're boarding the plane, you're getting on, you're looking for your seat. You're looking at the gorgeous flight attendant saying hi to you, such as myself. ah um Hi, welcome aboard. Yeah.
00:26:38
Speaker
yeah So you don't really notice it, but it happens every flight. Yeah. yeah like You know, when I did notice it was out of Burbank because Burbank, you don't you you walk down the steps out of the plane. Yes. So i actually got to see. And so I think when I was boarding or whatever, ah No, no, it was after after we landed. Yeah, I saw the pilot with his little flashlight looking at stuff. Yep. I'm like, OK, that makes me feel better. And you know what? Sometimes they will see something. Sometimes they have to call maintenance and maintenance either repairs it or, you know, or we don't go anywhere. It is a very important part. It is very like, you know, sometimes you don't realize you had a bird strike.
00:27:16
Speaker
and they walk around like, oh, we got a bird strike. like it's So it's very important that that's done. Absolutely. So yeah, they have their checks. We have our checks. Absolutely. Yeah. um Absolutely. There's a lot of, say I mean, the whole point of flying is safety.
00:27:30
Speaker
Right. That is the whole point. and that is the job of us and the pilots. on I also try to keep in mind, like the pilot doesn't want to crash either. you know it's you know No, no, God. A lot of those guys just want to get to their layover or get home or,
00:27:44
Speaker
I think get their side piece, go to their grinder account. lot gay. Yeah. lot of spot, lot of deeply closeted pilots, but I'm i'm deeply closeted. um but Yeah. Wait, so you're a gay pilot. oh no the last thing a pilot wants to do, unless it's a really nice place is canceled.
00:28:01
Speaker
The last thing they want to do, they want to get the fuck home. Yeah. I do remember one time ah waiting for a plane and it got delayed and it said or it said like, our the plane is broken. I think they said it. I'm like, oh that' that's not good. I'm like, and I will be boarding in 10 minutes. i'm like, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. i like I like how you pivoted away from the politics to planes. But um yeah, well, because the gas price is wrong. Yeah, yeah, yeah. um And then I want to talk about a movie I saw.
00:28:29
Speaker
We're going to get there. We're going to get door. Oh, yeah. It's a but. but Yeah. Yeah. but But like there was a there was recently a close call. I forget where it was. It was in Newark.
00:28:40
Speaker
It was a Newark. It was between. and i just read this this morning. It was between an Alaskan flight and a FedEx cargo plane. They were like 300 feet from hitting each other. Well, 300 feet. Yeah. Yeah. One was landing. One was like on the other runway. Yeah. Insane. 300 feet.
00:28:56
Speaker
That's way too fucking close. Do you think that it's terrible? What is it? Tower, tower control. Wait, air, air, air, air traffic control, Robert. um I remember seeing ah like a news segment about I think it was Atlanta airport and they were just showcasing how like outdated the technology is.
00:29:17
Speaker
And um do you think that's the case for all airports? I mean, have we not? They all use the same. They use the same technology. Because he literally had like plastic, like, like, I don't even know what they were. They were like plastic notes. I have no knowledge of what the tower looks like or the systems. I know they are. I know they are outdated. That is common knowledge. They have spoken about that online. I mean, on on the news. um But I don't know anything about it.
00:29:42
Speaker
I just yeah I know as much as the regular people do from what the news told me. It's it's outdated. Yeah, I give them so much credit. It seems like such a hard job. i as I've mentioned, I call bingo at a bar and quit at Austin's Ale House in Queens. uhhuh And they there used to be, before the pandemic, there used to be like a bunch of air traffic controllers that would come in.
00:30:04
Speaker
I think they worked at jail and they were just blowing off steam. Yeah. Holy shit, did they drink. Oh, I bet they did. Holy shit. They got. I'm sure. Fucking shit fixed.
00:30:15
Speaker
Yeah. Not sloppy, just they were but they were having fun. They were blowing off. It is a stressful fucking job. and you know and You don't get paid a crazy amount like you think. Like New York obviously is going to pay more because it's New York, but you know it's a stressful fucking job. Yeah.
00:30:32
Speaker
And you can't really, there's not really room to mess up. You know, obviously not. No, obviously not. I mean those poor, that poor Air Canada flight. there's There's no, you cannot mess up. No, you have to be perfect. 99% of the time. And if actually I should say, I out and say a hundred.
00:30:50
Speaker
Yeah. A hundred percent of the time. You cannot be wrong. That's why there shouldn't be one person working a fucking tower. Right. Right. yeah yeah There was a story a few months ago in Newark where one air traffic controller was doing takeoff and landings.
00:31:05
Speaker
and the and And the person that was his backup, because there has to be a backup, I believe. I don't know that, but that was a trainee. Oh, was a trainee? A trainee.
00:31:15
Speaker
oh I was like, Ron. He was in training, you stupid fuck. I'm like, why does that matter? So dumbass. Yeah. So he was. Yeah. So like that's luck only for an hour. But and luckily, not that's had to be this most stressful hour. He lost 15 years of his life because that hour. I guarantee that.
00:31:35
Speaker
That's insane. You know, I um I'm glad I wasn't asked. But ah for those who don't know, I worked on um the rehearsal season two with Nathan Fielder. And um he it was all about how pilots and co-pilots don't really interact with each other. And so when they get on the plane for the first time, they're usually meeting for the first time. Yes. And they don't talk. And then it also talked about how co-pilots might be a little bit, ah they might be hesitant to override authority if they feel like the pilot is making a mistake. And it was just about like being more open, being, you know, check your ego. Who cares? Just get the plane safely to land. Yeah, but that I mean, yeah a lot of times, we like when we I don't know anybody I get on the plane sometimes.
00:32:19
Speaker
Yeah. ah yeah the guy That goes for flight attendants, too. We don't know it who we're working with. Yeah. So um it was a wild show to work on because they rebuilt. I don't know. They built a whole airport in a soundstage and there was a whole it was it was super impressive. It was crazy. But there was a day this was like, I think the last episode where Nathan was going to fly a commercial jet because it was revealed later that he did get his pilot's license and that he talked about how.
00:32:47
Speaker
hit before his first flight, the only time he's ever flown a commercial plane was in a simulator and that they throw you in. they It's your your first flight is a real commercial flight.
00:32:59
Speaker
So he actually flew a commercial jet with extras and I was his stand in. So I was there the whole show except for that day. So I was like, I don't know if I want to be on that flight. This is literally his first time flying a plane like commercial jet.
00:33:13
Speaker
But he landed it safely. But man, I ah You know, i i don't I think I would have been nervous as all hell like to to be on that plane. And it's probably the point is that everyone, that you know, you know,
00:33:28
Speaker
You land the plane, you walk off the plane. It's a good day. Yeah. Yeah. The co-pilot was experienced. And um the first in order, if he, if he got in a commercial jet with people on it, the first officer would have to be ah have to have so many hours enough to be able to be with that captain. 100%. Oh yeah. The guy was definitely experienced. He was just shy. And I think that's why he picked him. He's like, no, like talk to me. Like that was the whole experiment was like, no, I want you to tell me if something's wrong.
00:33:56
Speaker
that's not always the case of the first officer being afraid to question the captain. That's not always the case. I hope not. Yeah. I don't know. I don't sit up there. I don't know what goes on between them. Usually they're all like buddy buddies and bros like, Hey, what's up, bro? yeahy Yeah. Uh huh. It's fucking fraternity, but, um,
00:34:14
Speaker
I've never seen too many dynamics where they don't get along. Usually they get along well. Okay, cool. So, and you usually, usually would assume, I don't know, but I would hope that the captain would, you know, let it be clear, like, you know, safety first if something's wrong, but I don't know. I don't know what they say. I don't know what goes on in their briefings. I know what goes on in my briefings. I don't know what goes on in their briefings.
00:34:33
Speaker
Yeah, ah because in the show, he shows how there was like several plane crashes when that when the they didn't have like good communication, um which was really scary. So we were filming um all these plane crashes. and It was really cool, actually, because it was it was a simulator. So they had all these LED screens in front of a cockpit that they brought into a soundstage and it was simulating plane crashes, fire, everything. And um I had to fly out to ah to Wisconsin um like later that week. And so my whole week was full of simulated plane crashes before I got on a flight to to Wisconsin. And so that was a little nightmare. I mean, it's a reality.
00:35:21
Speaker
as Somebody who works on a plane for a living, it is a reality. And it's kind of something you just have to be trained for and you have to. I mean, every time you get on a plane, chi you have to know shit could go wrong.
00:35:32
Speaker
Yeah. That is that is that is reality. We take advantage of it because America's very good until... I mean, we're with we're still very good when it comes to air traffic and aviation. Our industry, we're very good at it, you know.
00:35:47
Speaker
But... um Anything could go wrong. So yeah, it's but it's part of traveling. Well, speaking of ah flying, ah I just saw a movie and it's about going into space for on.
00:36:00
Speaker
I never, I do not want to go into space. ah Yeah, that's because all I could imagine, all I could imagine, like, let's say I was a flight attendant for like space travel and stuff. And all I can imagine is people taking their seatbelt off on takeoff.
00:36:12
Speaker
Oh, I'm trying to go to the bathroom.
Movie Review: Project Hail Mary
00:36:14
Speaker
It's like, sit the fuck down. We are taking off. and don I know they're just like on the toilet, you know, um but I saw the movie project Hail Mary starring Ryan Gosling.
00:36:24
Speaker
And it was so, so good. It's a long movie. Two and I think it's two and a half hours, but I swear you do not feel it. It's so good. It's ah directed by these two directors who I actually love, Phil Lord and, um,
00:36:41
Speaker
ah The other guy um they directed. One of my favorite movies is cloudy with a chance of meatball. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. there you go They're the ones they also got. ah They were supposed to direct um the Han Solo movie solo. But I think they end up getting fired because they were they're very funny.
00:37:00
Speaker
They're like also the movie is very funny. It's a such a and Ryan Gosling man. He has comedy chops, and I don't think it's a secret anymore because he's so good when he's on SNL.
00:37:11
Speaker
But man, he is just he's fucking funny. Ryan Gosling. I'm not a big Gosling fan. Like, I like him. I like him. I don't dislike him.
00:37:25
Speaker
Have you seen Drive? No. Oh, bruh. You haven't seen Drive? You haven't seen the movie that I like personally? Like, what the fuck? He was in La La Land, right? that was He was in La La Land. I mean, yeah, he was in La La Land. He was in Notebook. I was an extra in that movie. How exciting is that? he' i don't care.
00:37:46

KitKat Heist Discussion
00:44:14
Speaker
Yeah, please tell us. but leave Please tell us. I'm pretty sure that's it. um Okay.
00:44:21
Speaker
Well, um tell me about this KitKat heist. um I was going to get, out I actually literally have a bowl of KitKats, but I'm like, this is a podcast. Who cares? You you know, I have them. um I have one downstairs. Yeah.
00:44:33
Speaker
So what, what happened with the, so in in Europe, yeah I think it was going to Italy or coming from Italy. I think it's over 400,000 Kit Kats. Approximately 12 tons of Kit Kats were stolen.
00:44:50
Speaker
oh oh Excuse me. Oh, every fucking episode. Morty. Oh, I fucking hate it. Sorry. oh I'm going to do one more time. No. Morty. Morty. They took all the Kit Kats, Morty. ah Oh, geez, Rick.
00:45:04
Speaker
They took all the Kit Kats, but it's okay. It's in Europe. It's in Europe. Anyway, sorry. Sorry. Continue. Anyway. Thank you, sir. May I have another?
00:45:18
Speaker
Anyway, yes. 12 tons were stolen. And KitKat has released. You can get a tracking number. Look at their their ah batch number whatever it's called to see if you have one of the stolen KitKats. Now, you can't do that in America. Do you know why?
00:45:35
Speaker
Why? Nestle distributes Kit Kats across the world. ah Here in the United States, it's Hershey's. For Kit Kat? Yep.
00:45:47
Speaker
Wait, who makes the chocolate? ah In America, it's Hershey's. In Europe, it's Kit Kat. I mean, it's a Nestle. It's Nestle. Oh, you know. OK, because I was going to say I wrote it down, too. I had a friend from the UK and she brought back a Kit Kat for me.
00:46:04
Speaker
And I don't remember if I noticed a huge difference in the flavor, but I'm sure there was. ah I did not know that. OK, so do you think that if you had one of the stolen kit, what happens if you do have one of the stolen kit?
00:46:19
Speaker
Enjoy it. Or do you like, do you frame it? name it Do you try to sell it on eBay? like you get You get some duct tape and you tape it against the wall like a banana. Ooh, and then make a million dollars off of We are in the wrong business. We are in the wrong business. Have you ever thought, like, okay, when it comes to abstract art, have you ever thought of just, like like, basically putting paint in a spray bottle, spraying it on a canvas and trying to sell it for, like, five grand?
00:46:46
Speaker
Somebody would call a genius. Somebody. what what's what's What's that? ah that up Remember the TV show Doug? Of course. Of course. The Nickelodeon version. There's where they think Doug is this great artist and he draws a little squiggle and the lady's like, genius. Oh, this is absolute genius.
00:47:04
Speaker
A masterpiece. if And she really sounded like that, too. The reason why they thought he was a genius because his ah cat Or no it was like a raccoon or someone. It was it was um it was um Roger's dog, ah Roger's cat.
00:47:18
Speaker
I can't think of the cat's name. It's driving me insane. um um but I'm almost going to look it up the cat's name. ah And it was it was chasing a raccoon. And that's where it.
00:47:29
Speaker
Yeah, that's yeah. and And pork chop, pork chop between pork chop. Stinky was the cat's name. Stinky rob sounds about right. I, I, it's going to bother me. Um, yeah.
00:47:41
Speaker
Well, um, that's, that's how it made the app. Yeah. Oh yeah. And then, yeah. Then he was a genius. That actually happened to me in art school. Once I went to the, when I went to art school, uh, I stinky. Yeah, I was right.
00:47:54
Speaker
Um, I was, uh, I had to paint something for class and something and and messed up like like paint dripped and it fucked up the whole thing. But I brought it to class anyway. And in one of the things was you had to like present it in front of the class. And there was a few people that were like, I really like how you like added that smear. And like and I just I was like, yep, sure it did.
00:48:18
Speaker
Yeah, that was me. Yeah, I'm i kind of an artist. You are a liar. You lie about a lot of things. I should have been a lawyer. Oh, sorry. Hold on. gotta take my pill. Okay. Anyway. um Yeah, that's that's, it should have been a lawyer.
00:48:34
Speaker
That's, ah but yeah, 12 tons of KitKats. So if you're in Europe, but check your KitKat. Check it often. Check it. Check your KitKat and check it often. I just think it's crazy that somebody stole 12 tons of KitKats.
00:48:47
Speaker
Hey, I would. that actually like They're good, but are are they worth stealing like that? I mean, you think so? i did I was gifted um a huge 10-pack of Kit Kats once for Christmas. They're good. They are good And I kind of like OD'd on it for a while. I couldn't eat Kit Kats again. I mean, when you got them for Halloween, you were like, okay, good. Kit Kats. Worthy candy. Yeah. They're one of the worthy bars. Yeah. The worthy worthy bars, brother. um But would you say that this was madness that they, that they were stolen and in the in um in the month of March, like a March madness? I,
00:49:26
Speaker
Oh, I see what you did. You're transitioning. Cold jokes. Diethy, cold jokes. get Anyway, we've spoken about March Madness, but we are down to the final four in the men's and women's.
March Madness Updates
00:49:44
Speaker
March Madness Brackets. And for the final four in the men's, we have UConn versus Illinois and Arizona versus Michigan. And in the final four in the women's, we have UConn versus South Carolina. And then we have UCLA versus Texas. And Pikachu versus Jigglypuff.
00:50:09
Speaker
You know what? People like sports, so we're going to talk about it. Sports are for nerds, bro. i think you I think it's going to be UConn-Michigan for the final four in the men.
00:50:20
Speaker
i don't know who's going to win. I don't have an opinion on that. And then I think it's going to be UConn and... Yeah, I'm going to say UCLA. UConn and UCLA in the championship for the women's. UConn, that's the guy that's like, you're way too beautiful, girl. As much as I follow the bracket, I do not try to make the perfect bracket like people do every year. And it's kind of funny because there are so many potential upsets in these tournaments that nobody ever has a perfect bracket. And nobody ever wins that grand prize millions of dollars. So it's just it's kind of fun, though. like ah Obama was very big into the March Madness bracket, which was kind of fun to have a president into that stuff. It was nice to have a fun president.

And they could download it to their phone and make it their ringtone. I guess they could. Yeah.
00:54:40
Speaker
I haven't heard of a ringtone a long time. i mean, I used to be so strict on it. My phone is usually on vibrate. Yes, same. But however, i do have a ringtone and I have had this ringtone since my first cell phone in high school.
00:54:55

00:55:42
Speaker
Oh, MySpace. There was something I put on MySpace years ago, and i was I've never told this story to anybody. I don't think I've even told it to Jess. Maybe Brad, but never Jess. That's okay. I stopped recording. So go ahead. Tell me. You're still recording. Um, so you remember my space was great. Loved my space. If you lived through that era, my space was phenomenal. and You were able to put like music videos or your own music and stuff like that on there. I put the new manuma guy one time.
00:56:11
Speaker
Oh, it's such, that's such the time. Yeah, he yeah exactly. It's very, very early. I knew my new man. Yeah. yeah And i had people ask me, is that you? Wow. oh That's not a compliment. Because at the time my hair was very short. My glasses were wire rimmed. And yeah.
00:56:31
Speaker
And also, camera quality was not good. Fuck yourself. and No, no. Camera quality was not good. Like meaning that. No, no. I saw what you did. Go fuck yourself. No, it's a compliment. It's a compliment. Whatever.

00:56:55
Speaker
Well, ah fresh yeah. I don't remember my MySpace name. I really don't. Yeah. um Yeah. I do remember you could put music to it. That was always fun. So every time you went to a friend's page, you immediately try to find where to turn it off. And so that's yeah what that was.
00:57:13
Speaker
um I did the, ah what was that? The religious man song from my natural Libre. I am, I am. And the intro was so quiet. So you don't know music is playing until it just the, the, the little like flute comes in and then it just goes right into it. Oh, that's funny.
00:57:31
Speaker
I don't remember what I had. i was into some nerdy music shit back then. um but wait Like we said last last episode, we grew up on the radio, man. We were into all types of music.
00:57:43
Speaker
Yeah. and Yeah, absolutely. Well, um there is a I'm actually really excited for this fire Robin. I am, too. This is like I am I am very impressed by this one. So and so I think Ron has found a good one today. So let's ah what do you
Beer Review Segment
00:58:03
Speaker
say? what ah Let's get right into it. Let's get into Ron Ron's ringtone, shall we? ha This is a segment called Fire Up and Beer, where Ron finds a beer out in the wilderness, out in the streets, and he brings it to the studio. And he tells us about it. And it's called Fire Up and Beer.
00:58:21
Speaker
Fire Up and Beer.
00:58:34
Speaker
So for those of you that don't know, fire, open beer is literally translate, not literally, but it translates to after work beer. Fire, open beer is something they do in the German culture where after work they have a beer to celebrate that they have completed the day and they are done with work. Kind of like a, like tower control people.
00:58:51
Speaker
I've had multiple fire ovens. I, for those of you who don't do not know, i have a wheat allergy, so my stuff is usually ciders, meads, gluten-free beers, things like that. So um if you have anything or know of anything, please...
00:59:08
Speaker
Suggested to me because like I can usually find a lot of stuff here in New York seltzers things like that So today is the crafted mead from Ohio It is the mead This is a mead this kind technically a sicer.
00:59:19
Speaker
It's technically a sicer, but I don't it's because it's apple juice and uh-huh and ah honey so that makes itcir it they're called They're calling it an apple mead with blueberry oak and thunder warhammer six percent alcohol if You're looking at the can. It's like a female if the cans all by even the top is black Every, this whole can is pitch black. I love black with it with it, with a female Viking, with a Viking helmet on covering her face. It's really fucking cool. Crafted meat from Ohio. It's on the sweeter side. 6% alcohol by volume, I believe is what it is. Yes, it is. Just like the Vikings used to drink.
00:59:54
Speaker
And they have a quote and I think it's a good quote. I'm going to read it to you. hu It is better to fight and fall than to live without hope. okay And that is from Saga of the Volsung's 13th century.
01:00:10
Speaker
Okay, cool. so pretty awesome there. crack that baby open. yeah Because we we we need the mead. Let's look at the color here. Oh, it's like red.
01:00:21
Speaker
It's a fucking blueberry juice. Look at that. That is wonderful. That's what talking about. And I forgot to do this last episode. I will call the beer or cider or whatever I'm drinking Schmeckt, meaning for Schmeckt good.
01:00:36
Speaker
Schmeckt good, which means tastes good or Schlecht, which means it's bad. Last one was a Schmeckt. This, Robert, Prost. bru Here he goes. He's guzzling the mead down.
01:00:48
Speaker
and the it What are the results? Oh. Oh. Blueberry's very strong. It definitely hits you with the blueberry. I'm getting the tartness from the blueberry and the apple. And it says it's on the sweeter side, but it's not crazy sweet.
01:01:03
Speaker
um'm It's very floral as well. aha Would you schmeat it or schleck it? Schmeck it or schleat it? I'm going to say Schmeckt. I would definitely have another one.
01:01:15
Speaker
Okay. I actually, I want to try this one because the can is badass looking. So yeah um I don't, like I said, it's good. I don't know if I would have more than two.
01:01:26
Speaker
It's not something I could drink the whole night, but yeah. Is it like really sweet? Like, no, it's very, no, it's not very sweet It's very floral. And I'm not, I like floral notes, like, but not crazy.
