  Speaker 3: Now I have a question for airline pilots or somebody
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: that works for an airline.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm an airline pilot.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: So we're coming back. Yesterday, we flew out of Sacramento. Yes,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Sacramento Airport, not a big airport.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: No, we we.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Thought, oh, we got there a little early, so we
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: get something to eat before we left. There were only
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: two places to eat in the concourse we were in.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: There was like a brew pub kind of place, and
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: this place called Squeezeburger.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, Well we couldn't call it smash burger.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Which sounds terrible, doesn't it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, squeezeburger.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: And as we walked by, we went, no, we're not
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I don't want to go to squeezeburger. So we went
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: over to the brew pub and had a little something
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: to eat there. If you go to x nice six
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: dot com slash live, you can see what a squeezeburger is. Now,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: why did I bother to investigate this further? After we
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: dismissed squeezeburger?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Does I need it?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: So we get on the plane, we're sitting down, we're
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: ready to go, and we're sitting and we're sitting and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: we're sitting for a half an hour.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've had a little bit of a delay.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Here the pilot comes on and says, we've had a
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: little bit of a delay. I didn't get my meal,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: so I had somebody go in. He said, I didn't
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: get my meal, so I had to have somebody go
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: in and get me a squeeze burger. And then I
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: had to eat the squeezeburger here in the cockpit. But
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I finished it and we're ready to go.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: So we were all sitting there while you ate.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: But what I'm wondering, is there some rule that if
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: you have like back to back to back flights, that
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: you have to eat at.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: A certain time Blood sugar.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm this is my honest question.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I think they were very well could be.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I also was surprised, like, why didn't you just say
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: sorry for the delay, We're going to get on. We're
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: going to try to make up some time in the air,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: And why would you admit that I sent somebody in
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: to get a squeezeburger.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You should have added to that. There's you know, according
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to FAA.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Regular So this is what I'm asking.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: If you know, please you can email us or call
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: us eight seven seven six so two nine six night six,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: or you can text or email US Radio from hell
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: at X ninety six dot com. So then I'm so
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: now I'm curious about this is my second encounter with.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: This squeeze berg and what the hell is that?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: What is a squeeze Berger?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: So I looked, if you put that back up, Katie,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: that'd be great burger.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: So I looked at it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: This is from a place in Sacramento that's famous called
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: the squeeze In and it was fase featured on Diners,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: drive Ins and Dives.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It's a burger that has a cheese.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Skirt, so they put so much cheese on it that
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: it lops over and then gets crusty along on the grill.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So it's way, let's it's like two inches off the burger.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: This is Yeah, this is a thing. Never heard of,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the squeeze burg.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I'll take it, but but no, this is what this,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: this burger is what delayed me half an hour getting
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: home last night.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still curious about that. Now, why Corey asks
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: was he joking? He was quite serious?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't think so I didn't get my meal.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: It's hard to tell when a pilot's joking or.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Not, though I hadn't sent anything in.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Let's see, there's food on the plane. He just wanted
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: a squeezburger. I work for Delta. There's no regulation. Okay, yeah,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: this is what I'm only mandatory rest. That's the only
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: thing that they regulate. So it's his way.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Of justifying us, saying, you know that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: My you know, my intern screwed up and didn't get
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: my meal or something like that.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you should report him.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I felt bad because you could hear people behind you
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: talking because Salt Lake is a is a hub, so
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: there are a lot of people that have a connection
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: that they're trying.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, period to airline pilot here. Okay.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Union contract has the me requirement, but most of us
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: wouldn't delay and delay a flight for it, especially for
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: the food at the Sacramento Airport.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: So it is a it's a union thing.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because he said I didn't get my meal like
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: they were supposed to have a meal ready, so.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: That explains it. That being said, I'd eat the hell
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: out of that burger.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: But it's a terrible name for a restaurant. Though, a
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: squeeze Burger, I don't know
