  Speaker 1: John Ji and Richemina.

  Speaker 2: Good morning, Hi, Good morning you guys. Hey, what's up.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: So I have a little story about an airport lounge.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: I got access to one for the first time because
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: my bougie cousin gave me a pass and I went
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: a little too crazy. So I walked in just you know,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: like acting like I belonged there. But I had no
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: clue really how anything worked, and I thought the buffet
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: was basically Vegas rules. So I loaded up two plates,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I stepped snacks in my backpack, and I poured myself
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: a giant glass of wine at like eight am, because
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: it's the airport and you can do whatever. But then
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I got way too comfortable. I took my shoes off
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: and I fully fell asleep in one of those podshair things,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: and I wake up to employees like gently asking me
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: if I'm okay, and I'm storing and there's a cheese
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: you've stuck to my hoodie, and yeah, I don't know
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: if I can.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Ever go back to you said you missed your flight or.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: No, no we didn't, but I almost did.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I could see that happening those lounges
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: or something else.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: That's I had my first experience in the Delta Lounge
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: last week. I've heard John Jay talk about. In fact,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: John Jackie, that's actually your second experience because I try
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to get you in one. Well, that's gonna say. We've
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: we've been denied a few times because John Ja's a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: beautiful if you go to an American Express, you can
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: get in here. And I do have an American Express
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and I have walked in and we have been turned
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: right around, Like I don't understand how it works.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Like I have been in one a couple of them
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: and it's awesome, but for some reason when I was
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: with you, we couldn't get in.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, turned right around. John Jay said, American Express
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: knows her. That is the blah blah blahlah lounge. So anyway,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I'm flying home from New York and I basically paid
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: for the whole trip with my points on americ Express
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that I've I've had over the years and having used.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And so I'm getting ready to go through security and
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Audrey saw my daughter says, oh, you have Delta Priority.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: She's that means you can get into Sky Lounge. And
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I said, okay, well, can you guys go in with me,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and they're like, no, we're going to be in line
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: for a while. Anyway, you got the you got the TSA,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: so you go right through, and you should check out
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the sky lounge. So I walk up, thinking I'm going
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to get denied again to the sky lounge. So I
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: get in and I say, I have my ticket and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I have my MX's that get me in there. Go
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: on in, sir, and it is one of the nicest,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: like the nicest club or restaurant you've ever walked into.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: They get a giant bar with like drinks everywhere, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: then this buffet looks like eighty is astounding, and all
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: these comfortable chairs and TVs and it's awesome. That's well,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I was only in there like two minutes because my
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: kids got right through security. You're like, we're at the gate,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: so I didn't get a chance to I didn't just
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: stay and hang out. I just know you're better than me.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I would have left them at the gate, like I'll
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: bring you some snacks. Why didn't they go in with you?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I don't think I was allowed to get them in
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: with me since they didn't have the delta in advance.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Your family too, I think I don't know how it works.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Plus out there, Well, no, then I guess you don't
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: go in, but I can't remember if you get a plus.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: One with it or not. I already felt bad enough
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: for leaving them in the dust because I had the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you know, the TSA pri and I'm like, you guys
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: gonna take off.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It's kind of a new thing that I've learned about
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the last year. When it works, it's awesome. The thing is,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: there's all these different credit card lounges, like there's this
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Centurion one. I don't know what that is, there's the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Capital one one, and then every once in a while
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: there's an America Express one and it works.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: It's competed in.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it works, but I've been denied
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: many times.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It's like you throw membership of a club that you
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: could never be a part of because are you a
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Sapphire remember them up?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that far as the other one. So you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: got to stand in line and have a lot of confidence.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And then when they knock you out and you say
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you're sorry, you can't get with that card, do you're like, yeah,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I know I thought that, you know.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I've been denied twice with John J.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I've only had one airport like lounge experience, and it
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: was truly. I think the most bougie it could have
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: ever been. Is because I had just interviewed Nick Cannon
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: and we ran into each other at the airport, so
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: she brought me in. We were in the back, secluded area,
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, first class service, like if. I don't know
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: if I would ever be able to go back, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: it was that great.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I did feel. I did feel a little like, well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I guess I'll leave. I mean I literally walked around
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and they were done with security, so I checked it
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: out and MINA, thanks for calling in.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have a good one.
