Do we have time, Louis, for the flight attendant story?
Louis: Yeah, we can go over that quickly.
David: So there's a flight attendant, Miguel Saez Sanchez, an Air Lingus flight attendant,
who I guess is now fighting a dismissal over having a pot brownie which made him go nuts
during a flight. Did you hear about this, Louis?
Louis: No, no.
David: No. Not surprised, I mean, a lot of people haven't heard about this story, in
Louis's defense. He's in court fighting his dismissal over eating a pot brownie and taking
diet pills. I guess in '09 he was in Los Angeles on vacation before a flight to Dublin, and
the night before the flight, which he was working, he had three or four vodkas and unwillingly
ate a pot brownie. Upset and emotional over a fight with friends, he boarded the flight
to work but became delusional upon takeoff. That's comforting, right, when you're on an
airplane and the flight attendant is completely tweaked out and going nuts over a pot brownie
and is delusional.
Louis: Well, I guess he unknowingly ate the pot brownie, right?
David: Well, that's what he claims. At one point, Sanchez walked up to a passenger with
his jacket on and a briefcase in hand, which made him, quote, "look like he was getting
off the flight", a fellow crew member told the inquest. Post-takeoff, Sanchez thought
he was being photographed by the plane's passengers, who he believed were plants by the airline.
He then told the crew member that he could feel fleas and lice on his body. This is basically
what happens when Louis takes his anti-vomiting pills on his flights, right? Same side effects,
basically.
Louis: No.
David: The lawsuit which Sanchez filed claims that he was fired unfairly as he did not know
the diet pills he bought over the counter were against Air Lingus policy. The flight
in question was on March 20th of '09. An Air Lingus spokesman said Sanchez's actions were,
"nothing short of folly in the highest. We're expecting a verdict soon." What's going on
with airlines? Airplanes are... holes are being ripped in airplanes, TSA, no matter
what emails I get, are still having a number of different issues, we're having huge problems,
people are getting *** pat-downs, federal agents when I fly are shaking out my pants
in a bizarre, comical but yet concerning way and feeling all around.
Louis: Air traffic controllers are falling asleep.
David: Air traffic controllers are falling asleep.
David: Pilots are sleeping, pilots are drinking. I don't know. And then hey, what choice do
we have? I don't know if there's much we can do.
Louis: Nope.
David: You gonna to take a boat? Turn it into a month-long trip? I don't know. Limited options.
Louis: Can't take any trains.
David: Make sure to... why is that?
Louis: Trains across the U.S.?
David: Oh, I see what you're saying.
Louis: Yeah.
David: Hey, you know, I know people who actually take the train all over, and yeah, it sounds
incredibly boring, it really does.
Louis: Not efficient.
