a man next to a crying baby opens the emergency door on a plane this is Randolph in Marietta South Carolina let’s talk about that good mythical morning this episode is brought to you by the rent link store got a Rhett link calm slash store and get all types of merch including the dope zebra t-shirt here it looks great on everyone it looks great on everyone I say that all the time and you’ve heard me say it yeah I believe it to be true support us support entertainment you know and do yourself a favor do yourself a favor what do you like and buy the shirt because it’s because your shirts suck so what you’re saying do yourself a favor and replace the current shirt that you’re wearing in the news shocking report from Hanoi Vietnam a mom with a screaming child wanted a quick getaway from a plane on the tarmac in Vietnam and asked for help the man next to her obliged by opening the emergency exit and triggering the escape slide because you know when you know halfway through the through the plane the plane makes got a plane you’ve got the seats and then you’ve got the door in that door if you open it has it has a slide it just like it inflates and then then you can get on it and no I don’t up now we’ve sat there before because you being as tall as you are you like the extra legroom and I don’t like it because you can’t recline back if you’re in the first of two emergency row seats they don’t recline but you if you’re in the back emergency room it does recline camera that’s the best of both worlds that’s it that’s the hot seat on the plane other than first class or business class but they give you a speech when you get on that plane when you get on those seats in the plane and they say everyone look at me do you acknowledge that you’re in an emergency row and you have to verbally yes you can’t be like texting you and you can’t you can’t even nod because I’ve nodded before I I need a verbal agreement I need a verbal Ascension can you say yes can you say yes I can say yes I mean is this an intelligence test I can open the door and then they ask do you all speak English yes don’t say like see don’t be smart don’t nothing it never works to be smart in anything related to the airports of security trust me there’s a fly counter around here I’m gonna you want me to kill it no just you know just let him live he’s like a code merciful but in what they don’t say during this speech is they don’t follow up do you speak English and do you can you say yes they don’t follow that up with if a woman has a crying baby near you and ask you to open the door here’s what you should and shouldn’t do I’ve never been told that so you know that this is uncharted territory I’m feeling for this guy because I know what happens right a plane lands it’s been a long flight baby is screaming the woman you know is it the woman who really Oh it says the woman wanted to open the Hat well I thought when you read the article that what you were about to say which is what I would have expected if this guy is just completely out of his mind after right next to this baby on the plane which we all know how that is and then he’s like I got to get out of here sometimes when I get to the end of a flight just because I don’t fit on a plane very well I just wish instead of filing all of us out down the Rope thinking just the whole side of the plane could just go like something to Star Wars and you just like wings on a like a Lamborghini the whole thing amber Guinea a whole side of the plane is hook then you just kind of shimmy down or those shimmy down what that’s just the side of the plane or there’s like rope bladders or or a bunch of rope ladders because they want it to be cheap I’m trying to make this whole thing cheaper I’m taking that into account what about what about women with screaming babies they can’t go down rope ladders they need slides well I can just go out the regular door she didn’t go down the slide after after all this work she didn’t even go down the slide nobody went down the slide she got cold feet if you’re gonna ask you got to open the hatch and he does it woman you better go down that slide with that baby I’m telling you and I think you’re getting I think you’re get in trouble when you do that because uh-uh there was a guy last year the guy who on the one airline the flight attendant who like gave him the finger and took a glass of champagne or whatever and then slid down the hatch he got fine for that oh yeah this guy got fine too the man identified his 20 year twenty nine-year-old leaving two on told up authorities the child’s mother asked him to open the door sure you ask me so she and the child could exit faster an airport official says the man will be fined up to nine hundred and fifty dollars and get this guess how much it will cost to refit the slide well I can see it right there yes people guess $10,000 $10,000 so he doesn’t have to pay the cost of refit first of all you know I don’t believe that sure ten thousand dollars to put a slide back they’re just making they’re making that other MIT they made that part up don’t take the plane back to the dealership go to a go to a third party authorized slide repairment and they’ll give you a much better price in this vietnam er line in this woman’s defense kids can drive you crazy on a plane very recently as a matter of fact we all flew we flew home to North Carolina back in October and then we flew back and we flew together and coming back now this is a big entourage we don’t really call it an entourage just sort of hang out to families for adults for adults and five children that’s when our families go together and we’ve got kids raising ranging from ages 1 to 8 or 9 power 9 now almost almost nine and so this people are just freaked out so and we and we got our flight late so they put us in the back and so we’re doing the the parents on plane version of a walk of shame which is yes I am traveling with this many children and I just remember as we started walking down the aisle I’m sorry and we got to the back of the plane I saw the people’s faces all kind of really oh I’ll just let you know I’m gonna break the ice and I said people are scrambling people are looking for exits they’re thinking about slides already then wouldn’t haven’t even taken off yet I said welcome to hell I just addressed everyone in the back of the plane welcome to hell and one guy laughed little bit there are several people who were like oh he’s like this dude has embraced the fact that Mike his kids are going to completely drive me crazy our kids were good they regretted they digger even even Lando who was you know a year and a half old which that’s a dicey age once you get to two and you’re a toddler and you know you’re supposed to sit in the same place sitting up in somebody’s lap for you know three to five hours and we usually try to put him in a stranger’s lap so that makes him even more antsy hmm Christy was on a flight for Lando one time I was not with her we were I don’t know what we were doing I think we were shooting commercial Kings or something she had to travel somewhere anyway she was on the she told me this story she sat down with Lando on on the window-seat and you know he was he was not crying who’s being nice he was he was looking out the window having a good time raising and lowering the shade like I’ll take it off our kids love to do woman sits down next to her looks a right in the eyes and says it’s important that I get some rest on this flight can you keep your child quiet no I was planning on make letting him make as much racket as possible yeah I mean after that I mean I I Chris you taught her a little lesson you know pinching pinching Lando Wow I’m making him scream squeal she put on her sleeping mask and he’s just grabbing it even not really he’s a great child even more recently than that speaking of wanting to escape to get off of a plane mmm-hmm I told you about this coming back after Christmas we did not fly together we decided to take sip take separate flights right we wanted we wanted to make um potentially twice as many people miserable on flights right so we split up so I’m with the connecting flight we had to fly from Raleigh to Atlanta and then Atlanta is like the Delta hub so you go from Delta to LA and you get on a big old plane you get on one of those planes that’s like three seats then like five or six seats and then there’s another row and then the street more seats I mean this is like a plane from lost you know the show big plane and we’ve got four in my family so we had three sitting here and then we had one other seat that was across the row on that only edge across the aisle on that middle road so one person from your family would be the odd man out and usually the way that we do we do this is Jessie and I flank Shepherd our two-year-old we sit on each side of him when we have to sit like this and then we let lock our eight year old seven year old soon to be eight sit next to a stranger now the reason we do that is because lock you typically people are easy to talk to lot likes and get to know people and we’re sitting there right next to him so it’s not like anything can happen or whatever and you talk to him a lot so you might as well let a stranger talk right and we’re trying to any in unity places des and stuff it kind of keeps to himself a little bit and we’re trying to keep Shepherd under control and that takes two parents we don’t want to give one parent that responsibility of having to take care of both kids but as we get closer to our seat I look at that open seat and right next to that open seat that lock is supposed to sit in there is a man with a towel draped over his legs and on this white towel there are blood spots all over the top god there’s like clotted blood and fresh blood now was he just in a towel like he had just gotten out of the shower sauna situation yeah this is like yeah no clothes he was in a suit actually he was in like her like a crumpled-up suit he was an old guy oh and but he had a towel apron towel no just a towel draped over his two legs like bloodstains on it lots of blood fresh blood stains and a lot of them concentrated right next to where my son would have to sit so I’ve looked at Jessie I said listen you sit with the kids I’ll sit next to blood man and so that’s very considerate of you Brett so I sit down next to this guy and the first thing I say is sir uh there’s what was he doing what’s he acknowledge in you or no no no he was he was in his own world something was wrong with this dude I think he was about to die Oh or something it was not pretty I was just hoping that I wasn’t about to be about to die so at this point you don’t either his thighs could be bleeding no and some blood could be coming through them I could tell that he had been he had this was coming from somewhere on his person then he was collecting it with but all I said was sir and he kind of kind of looked at me a little bit I said sir there’s there’s blood on this incident to say I’m about to come in contact with your blood on a plane and I don’t want to and so what’s your problem and so he was like sorry didn’t kind of like moved it over to the other leg but then the whole and the hopeful he was coughing blood up coughing blood up and I saw him cough – blood up yeah what do you pick the towel up or what it would it just hit the towel he would do it into the towel it makes me want to vomit a little bit he picked up the town rock this guy should he shouldn’t I have been on a plane first of all well you could I could have been transmitting some disease to all of us but at least he wasn’t transmitting it to my son the whole time I just kind of said I couldn’t relax this is like a four and a half hour flight I just kind of set there kind of up against one side of the other side of my seat kind of looking over at him making sure I wasn’t coming in contact with it was you escape you didn’t come down with anything that’s my many ways but that’s the point when you turn to someone near you and you say open the escape hatch I’m taking the slide it in you know but here’s what I think oh yeah we’re making the old man throw another slide no you wouldn’t have I wouldn’t do that people it is crazy I think the woman should pay some of the fine that’s what I think I think I should have gotten a slight refund you may think I’m insensitive but this I don’t I have sympathy for the old man but he shouldn’t be on the plane coughing up blood I mean this is like a public place share your plane horror stories what did you want to escape from she should share the fine induce laugh attack with each other this is something we used to do as kids we would just sit in each other’s rooms and look at each other and laugh and it makes you laugh and you kind of get into this lap laughs spiral and we’re gonna end the show like that today be careful not to spit on me that I’m not gonna cough any blow thanks for watching
