SPEAKER_00: We're trying to read each other's faces and go from there.
1:07
SPEAKER_02: The entire time.
1:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, which is scary.
1:09

1:59
SPEAKER_00: You uh you said the word psychotic.
2:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:02
SPEAKER_00: And that makes me think all the time, you know, how how crazy do you have to be to be an operator?
2:07
SPEAKER_02: You have to be, well, to be a good one.
2:09
SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
2:09
SPEAKER_02: Psychotic.
2:12
SPEAKER_02: Like super psychotic.

2:14
SPEAKER_02: Like, look at me.
2:15
SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, you're you're a dang good operator.
2:18
SPEAKER_02: Well, thank you.
2:20
SPEAKER_02: It's such a compliment.
2:21
SPEAKER_02: The the better you are at operations, the more psychotic you have to be.
2:25
SPEAKER_00: That's fair.
2:26
SPEAKER_00: You have a lot going on.
2:28
SPEAKER_00: For sure.
2:28
SPEAKER_02: Like super dynamic all the time.
2:30

2:30
SPEAKER_02: Thinking on your feet.

2:34
SPEAKER_02: Like always thinking ahead.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: Bouncing around.
2:39
SPEAKER_02: I literally can go from talking to you about one thing to talking about the next thing, and I have no idea what we just said.
2:48
SPEAKER_02: Luckily, I have you because you help keep me organized.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: I love to take notes.
2:53
SPEAKER_02: I'm not organized.
2:54
SPEAKER_02: I wonder how many operators like I can function like I'm very organized, but I'm not organized at all.
3:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've You're very organized.
3:05
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes I think I've had like a chance to reset.
3:08
SPEAKER_00: But I also think like once you get down to a certain time, it's like your email inbox where like once you have like five 5,000 unread emails, it's like Oh my gosh, that's my personal inbox.
3:19
SPEAKER_02: I used to be so good at checking it every day.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: I have 62,000 unread emails right now.
3:24
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm not sure.
3:25
SPEAKER_00: And it's driving me insane.
3:26
SPEAKER_02: It will be that bad soon because I've been so overwhelmed I can't check it.
3:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm the same.
3:32
SPEAKER_00: I've tried the apps to where like you go through and you delete all of them.
3:36
SPEAKER_00: One time I got it down like 10,000 emails less than what it was, and I gave up again.
3:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that I would give up.
3:42
SPEAKER_02: Like once you're over a thousand, there's like no hope.
3:45
SPEAKER_02: Where would ten thousand?
3:47
SPEAKER_02: Just let it go.
3:47
SPEAKER_02: Because it's all these spams.
3:48
SPEAKER_02: You got rid of ten thousand emails.
3:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because it's all these spam emails I get.

SPEAKER_00: I don't remember the name of it, so we're screwed for sponsoring.

SPEAKER_02: I was talking to somebody about Kim Kardashian and how, you know, I don't know if you've seen the new commercial for her energy drinks where she's like, I didn't pass the bar, I raised it.
12:34
SPEAKER_02: And I was like, you go, girl.
12:36
SPEAKER_02: Even though you didn't pass the bar, you're still making something out of it.
12:40
SPEAKER_02: And I love that for you.
12:41
SPEAKER_02: Like that is just owning who you are.
12:45
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
12:45
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
12:46
SPEAKER_02: You know, I don't remember what her energy drink is called, but I do know that.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: What if she sponsored us?
12:53
SPEAKER_02: Maybe.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: Kim K, if you're listening.
12:55
SPEAKER_02: Kim K, bring us on your show.
12:58
SPEAKER_02: We would be a great reality TV show.
13:00
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: We would get probably canceled, but hey, any press is good press.
13:05
SPEAKER_00: If the Kardashians haven't been canceled, we won't get canceled.
13:08
SPEAKER_02: That's true.
13:09
SPEAKER_02: You know what my favorite Kardashian quote is?
13:11
SPEAKER_00: What?
13:12
SPEAKER_02: Um, when have you did you have you watched that show?
13:16
SPEAKER_00: No.
13:16
SPEAKER_02: You've never watched it.
13:17
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I've seen like bits, but Okay, well, you've had to have seen this where they got in trouble for saying, like, you someone asked him a question of like, how did you become so successful or what advice can you give to other people about being successful?
13:31
SPEAKER_02: And I think it was Kim that said, like, get off your ass and go to work.
13:37
SPEAKER_02: And she got in so much trouble for saying that because, like, you know, other people, normal people out here, are like, we've got so many responsibilities, and you're just talking about how easy it is to just get up and work.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: If only.
13:52
SPEAKER_02: So that's the kind of shit that I would be canceled for, though.
13:54
SPEAKER_02: Fair.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: Because I would say something like that.
13:56
SPEAKER_02: Fair.
13:57
SPEAKER_02: I'm pretty sure you've said that to me before.
14:00
SPEAKER_02: And uh people would hate me.
14:03
SPEAKER_00: No.
14:04
SPEAKER_02: I'm an acquired taste.
14:06
SPEAKER_00: They misunderstand you.
14:07
SPEAKER_02: That's true.
14:08
SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
14:08
SPEAKER_02: You're so sweet.
14:10
SPEAKER_02: I don't have a lot of feelings.
14:12
SPEAKER_00: Yes, you do.
14:14
SPEAKER_02: You've seen me cry already.
14:16
SPEAKER_00: Not everybody has that honor.
14:19
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
14:20
SPEAKER_02: I'm sure you were like, Oh, and then as I was crying, Landon leaned over and he was like, What'd you say?
14:27
SPEAKER_02: You said um, crying isn't weakness.
14:30
SPEAKER_02: Because I was like, I'm just so mad.
14:32
SPEAKER_02: I'm so pissed off.
14:33
SPEAKER_02: That's why I'm crying.
14:34
SPEAKER_02: And you were he like touched me on my shoulder and he said, Crying isn't weakness.
14:39
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, shut up.
14:40
SPEAKER_02: Heck up, Landon.
14:42
SPEAKER_02: I was just trying to be No, it was very sweet.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: Yes, no, you did not want to hear that.
14:46
SPEAKER_00: I should have known better.
14:48
SPEAKER_02: I what did I did?
14:50
SPEAKER_02: I even say anything to you.
14:51
SPEAKER_00: No, you probably wrong.
14:52
SPEAKER_00: I think we laughed at that point.
14:54
SPEAKER_00: I think you probably laughed because that probably just pissed you off even more.
14:58
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, I was like, I g I should have said thank you for trying to console me.
15:04
SPEAKER_00: I should have known better.
15:06
SPEAKER_02: It was it was wonderful.
15:08
SPEAKER_02: It was a great time.
15:11
SPEAKER_00: It was a time to be remembered.
15:13
SPEAKER_02: Yes, yes, yeah.
15:15
SPEAKER_02: But yeah, what a crazy few weeks we've had.
15:18
SPEAKER_00: It has been but good.
15:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
15:21
SPEAKER_00: We learn from it.
15:22
SPEAKER_02: We do, and we grow.
15:24
SPEAKER_02: We grow.
15:25
SPEAKER_02: And sometimes we go on our podcast and we just are too tired to answer a real question because we know we can't give you our all.
15:35
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
15:36
SPEAKER_02: But we know that Jameson, our producer, is expecting us to record a podcast and we can't half ass anything.
15:43
SPEAKER_00: No.
15:43
SPEAKER_02: So what we're good at is just talking.
15:46
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that is yeah.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: I feel like good operators are good at talking though.
15:50
SPEAKER_00: Because sometimes you gotta BS your way through it.
15:53
SPEAKER_02: That is very true.
15:54
SPEAKER_02: And that is exhausting.
15:56
SPEAKER_02: It is.
15:56
SPEAKER_02: But when I can be authentically myself, it's not.
16:00
SPEAKER_02: So that's why we have the podcast.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: But you're good at myself can be exhausting.
16:07
SPEAKER_02: You're good at uh even like not not faking it, but like you can have conversations with almost anybody about anything.
16:16
SPEAKER_02: I don't have that gift.
16:18
SPEAKER_02: Like I my nightmare situation is being somewhere with a bunch of random people I don't know and having to talk about like the weather or something stupid.
16:30
SPEAKER_02: Like I can't fake conversation.
16:33
SPEAKER_02: If I don't have anything to say to you, I just won't say anything.
16:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
16:37
SPEAKER_02: And I can't misunderstood.
16:39
SPEAKER_02: I can't fake it because it's not like yes, just not authentic to who I am.
16:44
SPEAKER_02: So I'll talk to you about my deepest, darkest secrets, and that'll be fine.
16:48
SPEAKER_02: But I can't talk to you about like, you know, oh, it's cold outside.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I love.
16:54
SPEAKER_00: So how about that San Antonio weather?
16:57
SPEAKER_00: My gosh.
16:58
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, it's hot.
17:00
SPEAKER_02: I don't know what to tell you.
17:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but those questions, so you so I'm the person on the airplane next to you that you're just trying to, oh no, I'm not.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: That's not who I am as a person.
17:09
SPEAKER_00: I put my headphones in, no, I promise.
17:12
SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean, I know you, so I'd just be like, Landon, I can't talk right now.
17:15
SPEAKER_02: Correct.
17:15
SPEAKER_02: I'm on an airplane.
17:16
SPEAKER_02: I'll send you reels on Instagram instead.
17:19
SPEAKER_00: Or we'll just talk about people on the plane.
17:21
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
17:22
SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
17:23
SPEAKER_02: I had a f we had to fly Southwest a few weeks ago.
17:27
SPEAKER_02: It was bad.
17:28
SPEAKER_00: Her worst nightmare.
17:29
SPEAKER_02: It was literally, I got on the the plane and like we paid to because now Southwest has like, I guess, assigned seating, but you there's still no like business class or like there's it's not Delta.
17:45
SPEAKER_02: It's not Delta.
17:46
SPEAKER_00: Well, Southwest ain't sponsoring us, that's for sure.
17:48
SPEAKER_02: Sorry, Southwest.
17:50
SPEAKER_02: But like it's just my opinion.
17:52
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to be sued for this.
17:54
SPEAKER_02: It's just like it's just a eclectic group of people on the Southwest airline planes.
18:02
SPEAKER_02: That's what it was.
18:03
SPEAKER_02: It was insane.
18:04
SPEAKER_02: I was texting Landon the entire time.
18:06
SPEAKER_02: Like I was scared for my life.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: I was scared for you.
18:09
SPEAKER_00: Fortunately, I didn't have bad mates, but seatmates.
18:13
SPEAKER_02: You didn't?
18:13
SPEAKER_00: Mm-mm.
18:14
SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
18:16
SPEAKER_02: You probably are just so nice you you don't even know.
18:19
SPEAKER_00: Or I just ignored him the whole way.
18:21
SPEAKER_02: There was somebody that was like critically ill.
18:25
SPEAKER_02: Like on the not in my row, but the row right across from me.
18:29
SPEAKER_02: Oh gosh.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: They were like I don't know why they were on the plane.
18:32
SPEAKER_02: They were like critically ill.
18:34
SPEAKER_02: I'm saying like they looked like death.
18:36
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
18:37
SPEAKER_02: And it was kind of alarming, and I just didn't look at them.
18:41
SPEAKER_02: And then in front of me was like people that clearly usually fly Delta that were also on the Southwest flight, and they were like they were like the asshole version, though.
18:51
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I can go with the flow.
18:54
SPEAKER_02: I can like kind of fake it, maybe, and like get by and like I'm not rude to like the staff ever because you know it's not their fault they work for Southwest.
19:03
SPEAKER_02: So like there's like different, you know, you're just you can't be an asshole to people, but why are you looking at me like that?
19:13
SPEAKER_00: I'm listening.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: Just like the rest of our listeners, we definitely need a second type of podcast that we're realizing.
19:22
SPEAKER_02: I'm just kidding.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: If you work for Southwest, I'm proud of you.
19:26
SPEAKER_02: And I my thoughts are with you.
19:29
SPEAKER_02: I'm just saying, number one, I don't think that they pay very well compared to Delta.
19:34
SPEAKER_02: Their employees are never that happy.
19:36
SPEAKER_02: What data do you have to buy that though?
19:38
SPEAKER_02: I'm this is going straight off feeling.
19:40
SPEAKER_02: This is like vibing feeling.
19:43
SPEAKER_02: But I would probably bet money that Delta pays their team members more and takes better care of them.
19:50
SPEAKER_02: Because Delta, like the experience that I have on Delta with team members of Delta, are much more pleasant.
19:57
SPEAKER_00: It's all about culture.
19:58
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna get us canceled now.
20:00
SPEAKER_02: Sorry, this is our last podcast.
20:02
SPEAKER_00: We'll start another one.
20:03
SPEAKER_02: It's all about culture.
20:04
SPEAKER_02: See, that's why culture is important.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: It is.
20:07
SPEAKER_02: Let's I'm gonna look up the data.
20:09
SPEAKER_02: Okay, the pay scales from Southwest versus Delta.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: And we'll report back.
20:15
SPEAKER_02: And we will report back.
20:16
SPEAKER_02: And I'm sorry if I offended anybody.
20:19
SPEAKER_02: Landon is dying inside.
20:21
SPEAKER_00: We're airline operators now.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: See, our podcast is for all operations.
20:25
SPEAKER_02: It really is.
20:26
SPEAKER_02: Southwest, it's just my opinion.
20:29
SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying this is fact.
20:31
SPEAKER_02: This is just my observation from being on a Southwest flight the last in the last few weeks.
20:38
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:39
SPEAKER_02: Jameson, if this is if this is gonna get me in trouble, just don't air this podcast.
20:48
SPEAKER_00: All right.
20:49
SPEAKER_02: Well, on that's like we gotta we gotta leave now.
20:53
SPEAKER_00: No, this has been fun.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: We hope you enjoyed it.
20:56
SPEAKER_00: If uh if you enjoy this type of podcast, let us know.
21:01
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and if you don't, let us know so I can shut my mouth and just continue on with operations.
21:08
SPEAKER_00: Well, I was gonna say don't let us know, but that's just the two and me and the eight and you.
21:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, let us know.
21:14
SPEAKER_02: So Landon isn't dying.
21:16
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm not dying.
21:17
SPEAKER_00: I enjoyed it.
21:18
SPEAKER_02: I I I can tell.
21:20
SPEAKER_00: Well, thanks for listening, everyone.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: We'll catch you next time on the operator seat.
