You're listening to Giraffe Kings Network. Guys, don't worry about what's going on in the skies because I have been keeping an eye on it for everyone. I have been locked in. There was a story last week about a woman who got on a flight from Nashville to LA without a ticket. She got through security, got on the flight, got in LA, law enforcement met her in LA and were like, how did this happen? That's the only details I know though. There's also a story yesterday that a couple

planes traveling west to east, the jet stream was so fast, they were going over 800 miles an hour in the sky, just absolutely gunning it. Normally planes go like 500 miles an hour and people on the planes were like whoa that is really fast There was also a flight Diverted from San Francisco to Boston got diverted to Denver because the wing was starting to come off So those are three things happening in the skies that I've been keeping an eye on for all of you Oh, I would say to everyone on those flights. I wish I could have been on board with all of you So I could reassure everyone we're gonna be good. We're gonna be fine, it's gonna be fine.

And it turned out to be fine anyway, so thank God for that. But also, particularly the Jetstream one, I'd love to be in that situation. Just to be whooshing by, supersonic speeds. I've been on a flight where I think it was going this fast. How could you tell? You can tell sometimes when you're like,

we're going, I mean, first of all, you can look on the plane, they'll tell you how fast we're going. You can look on like the flight radar apps. I never checked that. And they'll tell you your altitude, how fast you're going, your direction, everything that's going on.

And I've been on flights where we're going really fast and they're like, we're actually like an hour early. So we're gonna do some loop-de-loops. And I'm like, I knew it. I knew it. We're going like 700 miles an hour. It's always going west to east because that's how the jet stream, apparently the winds,

I'm not a meteorologist at all by the way, or someone that knows anything about flights other than like reading articles, but the winds were like 250 miles an hour above the atmosphere over Washington, DC. So this plane was just gunning it. Nice. Whenever I'm catching a snooze on a plane,

that's what I put up. I wanna see the little plane. So I can see like this is where it was when I went to sleep and if I wake up, it's like, oh, we're here now. plane, that's what I put up. Like, I want to see the little plane so I can see, like, this is where it was when I went to sleep. And if I wake up, it's like, oh, we're here now. No, it's the worst because you wake up and you're like, we barely moved. We're still here. We're still over Kansas. How is this possible? No, no. Give me, you know what I like?

You know what will put me to sleep more than anything? Give me a movie that was recently in theaters but isn't yet out on streaming. So, or if I had to rent it, it was like 20 bucks or whatever. So, oh, I can watch this movie. Anything but you. Watch this movie on this flight. I've been meaning to watch this movie. I will always fall asleep. I hate it because I'm like, oh, I can't watch it. I'm going to go home and finish this. I got to watch this now.

I watched on mute with no headphones in. The red eye flight back from Vegas. I was like, I'm going to sleep here. I'm really trying to sleep But for some reason like we had the TV thing I was on JetBlue and I I'd literally put on Oppenheimer or open up with it with no sound open Heimers the Midwest I just watched it. I saw like three minutes of it because I slept open open Heimers the Midwest version We made a huge mistake. Oh, I'm accidentally made the bomb Oh on the way to Vegas, I was sitting next to Louis and I was watching something on my phone with my headphones on.

And the thing is, Louis was, I could feel him over my shoulder watching my show. The Hover. But reading the captions on the show. So at no point where he's like, yo, can you give me one of the earbuds so we can share and at least watch. Earbuds.

You know. I love sharing earbuds. No one ever wants to share ear buds with me So instead of asking me yo can I can I share these with you? He watched the entire show Breeding the captions and then he like hit me like what happened here. What was like? Oh, we went to jail What was the show? I knew what was the show? I'm not gonna say Spoiled it hmm. I've done that before once I was on a plane

And I forgot my headphones and the person in front of me was watching a quiet place I was like, I don't really even need to the person in front of me was watching a quiet place. I was like, I don't really even need to hear this. I think I have a good idea of what's going on. That's great. The perfect movie to watch on mute. Yeah, it was amazing, cause I was like, oh, I can just sit and I know everything

that's happening right now. I mean, have you ever been on one of those Express subway cars in New York where you're going really fast all the time, or excuse me, you're going really fast all the time, excuse me, you're going really fast all of a sudden and you're like, this is too fast. This is how I feel like the people on the planes probably felt. You're just like kind of flying along and then all of a sudden you're like, holy shit, we are, this is not okay.

No, but I don't think you can tell the difference though. When you're on a train, you feel it hauling ass. When you're in the sky, you're just like, oh, we're going, I don't know. Trust me. I can't tell. It feels once once we take off It feels the same all the way up until we land and other than when we're banking and all that stuff like that But like once we hit altitude we're cruising we're cruising the worst thing was these people probably got where they were going like two Hours early and still had to wait for a gate to open up especially those LAX They probably still got to the gate late because oh, we don't have anyone to man the gate

Oh, we don't have anyone to work the gate thing. I hate LAX the worst the worst after Chicago Miami's pretty bad No, no, no, I'm you have to walk a mile just to get to your gate. You know what that's exercise exactly, right? That's what the gyms for not that part. I like to combine Work harder airport. Jer por and smarter Jer por is where Jeremy flies out
