Welcome back. As you can see. Welcome back to another episode of Long Winded. As you can see, I'm out of town because it takes work, baby. This oldest here is walk. And I have to walk while I'm away on walk. And I hope this battery lasts the whole time because it's giving one bar. It's not gonna. But I was desperate and had to call the front desk. I needed a battery and couldn't make it over to the CVS myself. So we're just gonna. We're just gonna hope for the best. I don't know. I. I don't know. Maybe this will bring some brightness to your day. Maybe it won't. I don't know if you're aware what happened on this day. It's haunted today. Today's your birthday. You're doomed. Something special happened today. Some kind of achievement or celebration. Well, sorry, because you'll always have to think that I got my promotion. I got my promotion on 9 11. It must be a great sign. Not my future is up after my promotion. I don't think so. Oh, we fell in love. We fell in love on September 11, you may say, while your. Your relationship is set to for sure implode from the inside out. It will explode. It'll light on fire, light up in flames just like the Twin towers did from the inside out. Because we know that there was a bomb planted and it didn't actually. It didn't actually crash from a high speed airplane crashing right into. Didn't actually explode from. From a really fast miles an hour tearing right through. And if you're. And if you're flying today. Why did you do that to yourself? Why would you do that to yourself. Oh, you have to get back for work. Take a sick day. What are you thinking? You're gonna get on a plane on 9 11. Well, if you don't care about yourself, then I can't either. Sure, sure. I'm sure you're not nervous. I'm sure you don't have any anxiety. And it doesn't bring you back to the day in social studies class when you got the news that the Twin Towers were struck and you got to scram, scurry out of that perverts class. It's always, it's always the social studies teacher or the history teacher that those subjects, they breed perverts. There's something about colonialism that gets them very excited about the preteen. And honestly, honestly, it tracks. Honestly, it tracks because those four pervys on Mount Rushmore, they probably believed in child marriage. And these teachers are only carrying on their legacy. The teachers. The teachers who would watch you bump and grind at your junior high, at your junior high dance and then pull you aside and ask you where you learned to dance like that. Well, it's none of your business. Humbert Humbert. 91 1. There's an emergency. And speaking of 91 1, back to 9 11. Like that day was obviously doomed now that I think about it. Is that why they picked that day? Because 91 1, that is beyond sick. You're on a flight. You're on a flight because you have to go back to work. Well, a glass of wine isn't going to cut this one. You're going to need a Xanax. And now what are you supposed to do? You're going to go back to your said job all barred out. You're going to go back to pushing papers through a fog of benzodiazepines. You're going to sluggishly bump all those emails from Monday because everyone took the last Tuesday, Wednesday off in fear of another 911 happening. But you're sitting at your office all sluggishly, sluggishly all. I can't even say hopped up, hopped down on Xanax because you had to take your flight. Well, let me tell you something. Xanax is good for the nerves, but it's not good for bureaucracy. It's not good. It's not good for pushing those papers. You won't be able to see clearly and, but, but you had to do it because duty calls. And wherever you are, whatever on this day today, wherever you are in the world, I don't care what kind of a flat earth you're at maybe Biloxi, Mississippi, maybe a Richmond, Virginia. I would stay far away from the tallest building. I don't care if that building is the double tree. Stay away from. You don't know what could happen today on account of aviation. We're not safe. You know the status of our air traffic control anyway these days? It's not looking good for a technologically advanced country. We're pretty far behind, they say, they say our strips are still manually ran. Everybody else, everybody else has their strips technology ran to avoid human error. But for some reason our country keeps the dated air traffic control on even on 9 12, 9 13. I wouldn't stand next to a tall building. But you are. Look around. Look, look up. You're near the skyscraper and Poughkeep Sea. Anything could happen. Sure. It's only 10 floors up. You're not safe. You're not safe there. Go inside and hide. This, this is today. This is what, this is what's going on today. So I hope, I hope you do have a good day, though I don't. I don't know if you can, given the date. And sometimes Robbie gets in a mood where she's like wanting to play the 911 voicemails for me. She wants to play these heart wrenching, absolutely devastating voicemails from a loved one to me on the way to Lake Arrowhead. We're spending time, we're holding hands in the car and she's like, I got something for you. It's a YouTube. It's tragic. Would you like to listen? She's a hopeless romantic. What can she say? But, you know, we have those voicemails of everybody calling, telling their, their loved ones that they love them, that they're. They're okay. Stay strong. You know, I'm sure you just get rushed with a flood of emotion or something that you like, really turn brave and you want your loved one not to worry as you kamikaze to your inevitable death. But we have all of these voicemails to remember because we had phones on the planes. I don't know how they had a landline literally so far away from land. They're the furthest away from land they could ever get there in the sky, but somehow they still are able to make phone calls. And these voicemails we Robbie cherishes to this day gives us, you know, gave us a lot of intel and how, how tragic it was. It actually was. And then what do they do? Take away the phones. They're like, oh, yeah, that's fine, that's fine. We don't need any fail safes in case this happens again. No, we're not worried. We're just going to take away all the phones, so if there's ever an emergency, you won't be able to call home. And we know for a fact this was everyone's one. Like emotionally didn't save their life. A saving grace to say goodbye to their family and they're gonna rip it from you. Oh, and then you're thinking. I know what you're thinking. What about the WI fi? You. What about the WI fi? You've been on a plane. You know there's no WI fi really. They say there's WI fi delta, WI fi dot com. Connect here. It's not working. I didn't have my airplane airplane mode turned on just in time, in the right time frame to go to my WI fi settings and connect. I forgot to turn the mode on. Now I just have no bars and I'm not allowed to connect. You have to play exactly by their. By their rules or the WI fi is going to get ripped from you. And there's no bars in the sky. There's no g. There's no data that can get you to call home to be. To, to be your last. To save you emotionally, like the water could save a body. But not yours, because you are. I mean, you're. You know where you're going straight to your death. So, like, what are we supposed to do? There's no wireless phi in these planes. I've been on planes recently that don't even have the capacity still. They've never even upgrade to the capacity. There's no frequencies. There's no vibes, period. There's nothing. And you think I'm. I can call home in case of an emergency and this dreaded doom. Haunted plane and you took away my one chance, which was the landline. So now what are we supposed to do now when. Now when the. The hijacker is on the way to do his duties. He's, he's, you know, he somehow got through security with bad intentions. I guess they let you through TSA like that. He's on the way. He's taking over the intercom. He's like, this is what's going to happen. Oh, hijacker before. Can you make a couple loops around the Twin towers? Can you loop some so we can pass that walkie back one by one to contact air traffic control? Give them our family's number so they can. Their traffic control can contact our family so we can say goodbye. Can you just Loop around these towers until we go back one by one. Is that what they want us to do in case there's another emergency? This is your big plan? This is your big fail safe? Somehow, by the grace of God, we're still going.
