Hello everyone and welcome back to Should I Delete That? I'm in Clarkson. I'm Alex Light. Alex, there's been a horrifying new story this week. Go on. I don't know why I've been sent it so many times. Okay. But for some reason, everybody's thought of me when this has come up, there was a flight.

I thought I'd say it. Oh. There was a flight that got. that got turned around and sent back because somebody had diarrhea on the plane is absolutely, have you seen the video? A passenger's horrific bowel movement forced a Delta flight from Atlanta to Barcelona

to turn around. In a text message sent to air traffic control, the captain explained there was diarrhea all over the aircraft. If it's just a biohazard issue, he's had a passenger head diarrhea all the way to the airplane, so they wanted to come back to Atlanta. The passengers said, it dribbled down the aisle and after using vanilla-triveled absolutely mortoed it dribbled down the aisle how it's all over the aisle

there's a video of someone oh it's absolutely disgusting they literally diarrheaed all the way down the aisle all the way to the toilet oh so they shat themselves yes fully fully shout themselves. This is honestly the cruelest thing I can think. Like I feel so sorry for this person that the news exists. Like I feel so sorry for them that the internet exists because this is a sort of thing that would go historically down in folklore. Like if this happened to our parents, it would be like, oh, did you hear that story about like the flight from Atlanta,

the guy shat himself all over the aisle and then would be like, as if that never happened. And now all of TikTok is this one person had the squits. I saw a really funny meme This morning, I can't remember where it was But it was like, hey hon, how is your flight? Like, yeah, it was good, thanks Except I shat all over the plane

And out to the emergency reroute it. Die? Do we know who it was? Oh no, let's not name it. Let's not contribute to finding out who Because God loved them. God love them. I wonder if it was a man or woman.

Oh, I don't think I would, I simply don't think I would, I would die. I would die. Absolutely die. Where do you get? Because you'd have to go back to your seat to put your seat belt on for landing so you'd have to waddle yourself

No, I'd say I'm staying in the toilet I'm not, I would refuse to open the door They wouldn't land They wouldn't land I bet you they made them go back to their seats We need to interview someone From who was on that flight I actually, you know what's really sad is

I actually feel this like horrendous sense of worry for the person For their mental health For their mental health God me too Not only for the flight, but for the fact that the entire internet is talking about it. And someone will have videoed them, because everybody's awful. There's an article, I was on the Delta Airlines Diarray plane and it was horrible.

Oh, no. Look, so that's what it was like on the, all the way through the aisle. Oh, God. Oh, God. It's a lot of poo. It's a lot of poo. Oh, my God, I'm really worried about the person. It dribble. It dribbled, it was dribbled all the way down the aisle and smelled horrible.

Obviously, it was diarrhea. It's like that video, that viral video, actually from years ago of the girls in the hot tub. Do you remember this? And then she just has like explosive diarrhea in the hot tub. Oh, God. Oh, man. But then I worry about, this is what the internet is so cruel. I tell you what, that I've got a new fear unlocked.

Go on. Have I said this before on the podcast? I'm very scared now if I say. by myself in public that somebody's going to hand me a note and video my reaction and then upload it on the internet have you seen these motivational videos that men keep making okay there's there's a I keep saying this trend on online where like there'll be a video of someone sitting by themselves and they'll be a motivational song right and it's what's that song that everyone's singing and you're

driving me home ceilings oh yeah yeah yeah it's always playing that song and it's someone sitting by themselves and then they get slipped to note they don't know they're being videoed and they get slipped to note and then it'll say something like follow your dreams and then it videos their reaction and it's all like candid cam and it's about like anyway. Do they cry? Well no

they just generally sit there and and I think the whole point is that sometimes the whole point is that the person receiving it needed to hear that just then so sometimes they look a bit affirmed and I'm guessing these people just don't upload the videos where they look unaffirmed or like horrified

or mortified or mortified or whatever but like yeah that's my honestly I sat in Waterloo station the other day I had to wait for an hour I actually stranded myself there because I had my big buggy not doing that again bought the big buggy into London and I was like this is awful so I was waiting for Georgie for an hour

I was gonna take myself out for lunch I was like too many stairs I can't do it so I was just gonna sit and I sat at the station for an hour with a sad little sandwich it was awful anyway and I just I spent the whole time being like someone come up to me and hand me a note and video it and then I'll have to think I'll have to seriously think about the face that I'm gonna pull after it

it and it's going to be a whole thing. That is such a niche worry. Such a niche worry. When I show you the videos, you'll understand. My social awkwardness can't handle it. It's a big fear. So there's this one guy that I follow. He seems like a really nice guy,

but he just makes these videos a lot. I feel like other things would worry me about being in Waterloo Station stranded before that. I mean, I say stranded. I was listening to the Bosca, and it was lovely. um see see they're very nice

she's crying okay okay so that was a really nice one of the guy and I really like the guy that makes this video this videos and now it's made our great it's called Mac Sellwood and he's really nice and he makes these videos handing the notes to people but I'm so scared that I'm going to be one of these people because that guy's reaction he needed to hear that you could say he did need to hear it but Al what if I didn't need to hear

what I was given and then I'd have to sit there and pretend that I needed to hear it that's my big fear and there's so many TikTok men with microphones now that are going to they just stop people on the street and they're like what's something that your parents don't know about you Or like, how many people have you shagged? And I'm like, leave me alone. And I'm really hoping that the baby's the deterrent, but I can't be sure. And it's just, it's just terrifying. I keep seeing videos from this guy who goes up to order something.

And when they ask for his name, okay, I'll do this one example. That really made me laugh. They said, what's your name? And he said, Finn, F-I-N, and then G-E-R-M-A. And then when the lady had his burger ready, she was like, of me. That's the oldest trick in the book. So good. That made me laugh.

But no, I don't think you should be worried about that. I think the chances are pretty slim. I'm not sure. It's happening. Like, all I see are men with microphones on London streets. And I always say, I go to that street. Like, they were fun on the edge of the street. You can say no. Yeah, I guess I could say no.

People please are in me. I can't. Especially with the baby. You can be like, sorry, can't stop. Asleep. Baby's asleep. Can't stop. Yeah. Oh, no, it's really bad. I always see them like. actually near where our studio is and I always see

like clips of them like on the like Carnegie Street I'm like well that's it can never go down Carnaby Street again just in case some go super viral and it's yeah it's these guys like with microphones like they go around university campuses don't they like asking different questions and some of the some of the

people often like make a tear out of themselves they don't say the right thing and they're the ones that go super viral I'm like I feel bad for you yeah because you didn't ask for this you were accosted yeah and you probably said yes because you're a people pleaser and then and you've given your answer which you didn't have any time to plan and you're awkward I get it I would be too 100% and then bam it's viral

it's actually really stressful to me very stressful always say no never say yes yeah 100% 100% yeah so I don't like because someone said oh well there is one girl on TikTok god we haven't talked about this but there was this one girl on TikTok and I'm obsessed with her videos have you seen if she dances on the tube like selfie mode lip syncs talk like things on the tube, but it's like the commuters, she's in the middle of commuters. Love that. And all I want to know is what happens in the immediate aftermath of her clicking stop. Yeah. Because it's like epic while you're doing it. I'm in the zone. And then it's like, it's over. Yeah. What does everybody do? But I shared that on my page, on my Instagram story

and someone replied being like, oh, you would love influences in the wild, the account. And I actually had to unfollow influences in the world because I don't love it. I don't love this. like filming a person and then making them viral. I know. Against their knowledge. What is it against they will? No. Undenones to them. They didn't know they were being filmed. Yeah.

I think it's really bad. It is really bad. So now this poor person who's got the squits on the plane and they're forever going to be the... Because at some point the video will come out and then they'll be the person that have the squits on the plane and everybody knows. Snakes on a plane's remake.

The squits on a plane. That's really good. Katty who calls down a real hot snakes and I've just got hot snakes on a plane. Oh no. But I feel so, see, we're laughing at this person. Ha, ha, ha. I know.

I know. Why do I worry that it's a woman? Yeah, because a guy could be like, oh, I did the biggest shit on the plane. I know. My shit was so big, I landed the plane. Like, I get, like, a man could be like, yeah. It's more pass-offable as a man.

Yeah. It feels. Oh, fuck. Okay. I really heard it's a man. I know. I know. So basically, that's the risk of living in London now.

It's like, you just go out. I mean, the risk of doing anything, but like, what if you just, what if you just become viral? What if you've got a sensation? TikTok, honestly, isn't good for my mental health, and it sounds like not yours either, because it makes me worried about stuff. Yeah, niche stuff. Neesh stuff. Neathe.

There was something else I had to show you from my TikTok. Oh, I did learn something. Go on. From TikTok. This made me unanxious. This I just really enjoyed. Okay. Did you know that Victorian men would pin their lover's pubic hair to their hats as a

token of affection and good luck come again did you know that Victorian men would pin their lover's pubic hair to their hats as a token of affection and good luck so so so so their lover's hair to their hats that honestly goes all the way through me this has not been fact checked I've seen one TikTok video I don't enjoy that I don't like that but there's no one there's no one listening who's going to be from the Victorian times being like no that definitely didn't happen because we just don't know so with that that's another There's a TikTok fact. I keep getting served TikTok videos.

It's like five things that are going to save your life. And then getting... Not getting struck by lightning. Dreamly stressed. So one of them... Oh my God. Okay. If the accelerator in your car gets stuck and you cannot stop,

shift your car into neutral. You've got an automatic, don't you? Yeah. But I can say, can't then just put it in neutral? No, not where you go. No, I've got a manual. What did you say? Have you got an automatic?

A manual. You drive a manual car? Yeah. Is that random? That's incredibly unlikely and I'm so proud of you. Really? Yeah. Oh, maybe that's why I find it all so hard.

Yeah, maybe. It's just a lot of like feet and hands at the same time. Oh, it is, isn't it? Yeah. I know, I know. But like, weirdly, that's not actually my issue. That's quite coordinated, I think, because of, Sofiano

Humble brag It's more It's everything else That could save your life Wait so if you've got an automatic you can't put it in neutral Yeah see I'm curtains I'm done for

Right I've got an embarrassing story for us here Hi M, Al and Daisy Let me start by telling him much I love your podcast Thank you It makes my afternoons at work passed by quicker and I feel like I'm surrounded by friends. Congratulations to Little Arlo on her christening, to Daisy and Daisy on their engagement and of course to Dave

and Al and Betty on their pregnancy. I can't wait to have another little addition to the should I delete that family. Oh. I have an embarrassing story for you today. Well, it's more of a series of unfortunate events. I work at a corporate company in a big building. I went down to the cafe to get myself some fuel and on the way back up, I took the lift. It was packed, but I managed to squeeze in. As I press the button

I realised I clicked on floor two instead of floor four. I awkwardly apologised to everyone for making us take an extra stop. When we got to the second floor, we all stood there awkwardly and a nice man pressed the button so the doors would close and we carried on.

As the lift stopped, I quickly stepped out mumbling bys only to realise I'd got off on the third floor. As I couldn't stand any more embarrassment, I quickly took the stairs so when I got to my floor, I saw the lift and stopped again.

And the nice man just looked straight at me, rolled his eyes, and I've been seen a depression bomb to close the door. door and continue the journey. I felt terrible for having wasted people's time, but I

carried on with my day as well as I could. Of course, the embarrassment does not stop here. At lunchtime, me and my colleague went to heat our food in the microwave room, which was busy as ever. As I put my Tupperware in the microwave, my little carrier bag knocked someone's food, scattering pasture all over the floor. I was obviously mortified,

apologised profusely and proceeded to clean up with everyone staring at me, as if it couldn't get any worse. When I looked at the owner of the now ruined lunch, it was, of course. The nice man from the lift offered to buy him lunt, but he refused, saying it was fine. Well, this is not fine, who said it's fine? Who says it's fine?

But he was clearly unimpressed. Needless to say, I'll be taking the stairs and eating my food cold for the foreseeable future. Oh, my God, bless her. Walking up is so bad. So wait, so she walked from floor three to four and met him. Well, she was meant to get off at floor four,

but she was the only one meant to get off at floor four so she walked up to floor four and then when she got there the lift had stopped for her to get off but she'd already gone off and it all just had to look at her oh bless it all that is absolutely mortifying that's so embarrassing for not not good enough reason

being so awful that is really embarrassing I mean there's something like inherently embarrassing about lifts anyway I keep thinking about lifts I'm compelled to talk to people are you yeah compelled absolutely compelled Are you?

Yeah, I have to say at least hi. Hello. I bet you do it weird, I bet you look at the front of you go. I bet you do it. Oh, wait, you go, hi. Literally. Hi. Hi.

Like Patrick. Hi. Have you seen all the videos of Patrick Dempsey getting off the boat at Venice Film Festival? No, but that's probably. I imagine that's how you've done it. It's sort of like a nice, like, sort of head bow, hand, hi. And then if I've ever feel really awkward, I'm like, it's hot, isn't it? I hate myself.

I've talked about this before. I find lifts. I find lifts. I need to emulate it, but I need to emulate it, but I need to emulate it, but I need to be like guarantee like I just I think lifts have been so pared by the film industry about people that have sex in them right yeah so you instantly feel like there's some kind of like electric vibe when you get in there like oh I should be having sex with this person but instead I'm just going to not and it's going to be incredibly awkward yeah so that's why lifts are so

because we've got this like underlying suspicion that we should be shagging but there's also this thing about you're you're all going to a common place but you're not associated with each other. You're in no way related and you just have to stand there and go to your commonplace. Do you not feel like that on the train? Feel still.

Yeah, I did a good point. I got on a lift, I got on a lift at Waterloo Station during my stranding. Yeah. Because I was bored, so I just went up and down in the lift. And when I got it,

and I sat in by myself and it went, like juddered and then stock. Oh, God. It was so hot. And I thought, oh my God, me and my baby are going to die in here and they'll make a TikTok. The Daily Mail will make a TikTok video about this

with a really like sincere American woman and baby die. No, I wasn't going to die I was just going to be stranded and we're going to get very hot we were just going to get very very hot and then there'd be photos of us coming out very dishevelled after like two days yeah we were going to die

I got stuck in a lift once I bet that was awkward It was awful in Paris I don't think it On the way to my piano recital please it was after it was violent and it was the air apartment lift it was so shoddy like so run down I'm not surprised they hadn't stopped sooner and we were going on a night out and all of us got in

together about six of us and it was probably like a three person lift and then one of my friend's absolute tit jumped and then that was it the lift just stopped and we were really crammed in really crammed in and I was like I'm gonna have a panic attack we're all going to to have panic attacks. We're going to suffocate. It was awful. I watched a video yesterday saying that if a lift starts falling with you in it, lie down. That was one of the tips of how to save your life. Oh, I think I watched that video too. Yeah. If, if, yeah, lie down flat on your back. I've not heard that. Previously, I've heard if you fall, you just have to jump at the moment of impact. But how the fuck are you meant to know when you've hit the bottom? Like, if you

fall from the sixth floor, because if you jump, the initial impact is better. Like, if it hits the ground and you hit the ground with it, you'll all just buckle and die, but if you jump, it'll save your ankles. But how are you meant to know? You don't know how deep the lift shaft is. You have no.

You just got to take a guess that if a lift felt I'd just be jumping up and down on repeatedly. Like, the lift is falling through thin air and then there's just me jumping up and down. I'm getting it. I'm getting it, right. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, because if, because the impact's already gone.

so you'll just... You're just landing from your jump. Other TikToks, the worst prank, I think truly the worst prank I've seen on TikTok, they get people to walk into a lift, just a normal lift in a normal building, and then suddenly the bottom of the lift goes out from underneath them,

and they're on a slide with loads of slime, and they fly down the slide, and they're covered in slime, and they are shitting their pants. If you weren't pregnant, I would do that to you. Honestly, I think, like, I'm surprised that it hasn't caused a heart attack or something. Imagine, stepping into a lift and suddenly like, boom, you're gone.

That would be really funny. Okay, I have something that's really confused me. Again, saw it on TikTok. We should do an episode, but we don't talk about TikTok. Imposcibly. If you jump when you're on a train. Yeah. If you jump up and down, you land in the same spot.

Yeah. But if you jump when you're on top of the train, you land in a different spot. Yeah. Why? Yeah, I've Googled this. Is it because of the wind? You like a kite. You just blown away.

I feel like it's a physics thing. Oh, of course it's a physics thing. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like it's because the air inside the train is travelling, I think. Wow. I make sense. Yeah. I might have made that. I don't know. Ow, can I ask another question? Go on. Where does the wind come from? Hmm. Hmm.

Oh. Clouds. I don't know. Where does the wind come from? Fuck. Where does wind come from? I don't know. Like, because there's always a breeze blowing from the east or the west or whatever, but it's like what started it. Oh my God, where does wind come from? It's really been stressing me. Dacey, don't look at me like that.

I've had three or four days of this. I've literally been like, oh my God. Oh, I don't like the answer. It requires brain, us to put our brains on. Okay, the sun's energy heats the planet's surface, most intensely at the equator, which causes air to rise. The rising air creates an area of low pressure at the, the surface into which cooler air is sucked and it is this flow of air that we know as wind didn't get any of that didn't catch any of that i think i'm there no i'm really not that's why if

it's a really low air pressure there isn't any wind and it's humid that's why humidity exists whereas if it's high pressure so if the clouds are high then you've got more cool air so you'll have a cool easterly i should be a meteorologist or a weatherman same thing woman weather person so the wind comes underneath the cloud. So if the clouds, or the air pressure is low, there won't be any wind, which is why it's still and sticky in hot countries near the equator and here today. But if it's high pressure, then there's plenty of room for the cold air to circulate. Okay. So basically, hot days, you're not so likely to have wind. Okay. I don't know what that means for like the desert, because it's very often wind. I mean, that

doesn't give us a different like that doesn't give me an answer for someone someone says to me where's the wind come from the sky like I don't have a comprehensive like the sky but also like I want to point like if it's always come from the east and like whereabouts in the east did it start like did one if one person just standing like six feet away from somebody else and one of them's in the wind and the other one isn't or do we all just get them do you know what I mean like is there like a definitive like sometimes you can just see where the rain stops you can see a cloud with rain coming from it Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's so cool.

Yeah, so cool. But does that ever happen for the wind? Is there, like, one person, like, oh, it's windy over here? And they're like, that's funny. It's not windy over here. A tornado is a lot of wind, isn't it? Yeah, a lot of wind. That's, so it's like wind that's just become too much wind.

It's windy as hell. Yeah, it's like gathers. Oh, something else that's one of the tips that save you life. If you're looking at a tornado and it's not moving, it is moving. It's coming towards you. Yeah, I saw that too. I didn't think we'll ever have a tornado. Oh, touch when I was saying. I was like, I don't want to be the ones responsible for that.

I've seen a few on TikTok and it looks horrendous. Tornedis look terrible. Horrendous. Terrible. Terrible. I really, this, like, I mean, also, did you see Burning Man? Basically, climate change is incredibly stressful. Burning Man, I got obsessed with that. Okay, good. I missed it. Tell me. I had a friend that was there. Okay. I was so excited to go. It was her first time and now she's... Did she go?

Yes, she's gone. Well, she went and then she had to put up a thing on her Instagram which is the first time we saw it being like, don't worry, guys, I'm safe. Oh my God. Because they didn't have Wi-Fi for days, days and days. Yeah, and then she had to get a coach to San Francisco or something. Oh, my God.

Yeah, it's been crazy. It looked awful. She went on her own as well. The, the, um, it's called the Pliar and the sand of the desert is like super, super alkaline. and when it gets wet, I think when it gets wet and it just like all compounds together so you can't drive your car, you can't ride your bike

it'll just get completely stuck in the mud and it gives it like it ruins your feet as well because it's so alkaline it ruins your feet and like makes these deep cracks in your feet so you can't war so like loads of people are walking with bin bags on their feet and if you do get it on your feet you have to then wash your feet in acid to counter the alkaline nurse

Okay, I've got some questions. Alclanity. If you were planning a festival, why would you do it somewhere where the ground was poisoned? I know. It's literally the floor is lava. I know. I know. I think it seems like a good spot for a festival where the floor is lava. We'll be fine as long as it doesn't rain. I know. It looked horrendous.

How has that never happened before? Is it because... It looked post-apocalyptic, the whole thing. I think so. I think it never normally rains there, but it had been raining and that was what fucked it all up. Yeah, I never think of rain in the desert. It looks awful. I mean I always thought because I went to Glastonbury in 2014

and it was a fucking washout like it was and I don't know if I told you this but my mum was going to Glasgow and Alex was there we were coming from London mum was coming from home and we keep our wellies at mum's house

because why we didn't need any w rallies in London so mum was like Alex said can you bring I don't even know if you had any wuzzleys he just said can you bring me some wellies please and I think anyway my mum bought some wellies got there and oh my god when I had my old car which was like super low to the ground

and we were stuck in the, like, arriving on Thursday night, and it was mad. We got there, and mum met us, and she gave Alex as well, he said it was two left feet. Oh, no. And he had to do, like, the whole, first of all, we're two left feet. It was so funny. But, yeah, it was like, and that was enough for me, because you cannot sit down when it's raining, which I know sounds like a real, like, yeah, you've got, of course. You've got to be standing up the whole time.

I imagine they don't provide you with chairs at Gloucester and Pring. Nope. It's not a burning man either, because you just, imagine that if it's sunny, you can just lounge, sit, rest. Yeah. Like, yeah. Did you see Diplo and Chris Rock manage to escape Burning Man? It feels kind of like apt that they're called, then it's called Burning Man and it's all gone a bit wrong.

Do you know what I mean? It feels quite like. Everyone, I've never seen Mad Max, but everyone's saying it looked like that. I haven't seen Mad Max either. Which I think like post-apocalyptic. It doesn't sound good. No. Yeah.

I feel stressed now I feel very stressed I feel like I only to wash my feet in acid you can I can you do

you go girl probably not pregnancy safe above anything no probably not it's gonna go and babe I'll come home be like why
