talking about behind the scenes um plastic wrapping suitcases i saw it happening recently and i was like wow people still doing that have you ever done it even in the peak of chappelle corby never do you know i think that entire business is off the back of shipping. No, it can't because I've recently seen this in South America at the start of the year and it was the best thing. Somebody plastic wrapped their suitcase, went to check in and they were like, your two or three kgs over and they ripped it off at check in and were grabbing out stuff they could take to make it 23 or 20 kgs or whatever a waste and i was like oh how much does it cost like what have you done what does it cost well does anyone

know i've got no idea also like 25 bucks it just makes me think what's in your suitcase i to me it's the waste it's the use of plastic it's this excessive use of plastic film literally the other end totally is going to be cut off and chucked in the bin. Like just cable tie or get a padlock, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like what's in your suitcase? Do you just not want your knickers?

Is it past trauma from, you know, you've always seen a suitcase. I've had my knickers exploded before. But that hasn't made you turn shrink wrapping. The first time I ever landed at JFK, not JFK, what's LA? LAX. Yeah? LAX. Yeah, LAX. First time I ever landed at LAX. I was 16 years old.

Hopped off a plane at LAX. My undies exploded everywhere. Undies were everywhere. My suitcase had like exploded open. They put a string around it and all my undies were like along the thing. It was so embarrassing. Right. So there's a website here apparently 15 starting at 15 so that's probably like your little tiny carry-on sizes

She took a straw away from her mouth and she had a big dribble. She's a happy cat. Wait, so you're just going to get a big janky wheel until someone gives you a suitcase. One day soon, another free suitcase will appear at work. Otherwise, you can just use your Burton ski bag from 2005. That's unfortunate. The zip has stopped working. I know.
