Podcast on a Plane UFC 211 Recap

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Gentlemen, welcome to the Post-UFC Wrap-Up Show with Tony Hinchcliffe.

Tony Hinchcliffe (0:19)

Hey, everybody.

Joe Rogan (0:21)

And me, your host, Joe Rogan. We are on a flight right now, coming back from Dallas, Texas. Sorry, I accidentally just kicked that lady's chair, where we had a great old time at the Verizon Wireless Theater on Friday night. And then the UFC last night, and now we're headed back. Shout out to Ryan, dude we had breakfast with. Turned out to be all right. Turned out to be an interesting guy. I was a little worried about him at first.

Came in strong with a few too many questions. Interrupted a little bit.

But turned out to be a very good dude.

But you never know, man. You know, just meet some strange dude, have breakfast with him. It could be rough, but he turned out to be very cool. I think I snapped at him though. I was like, what is this, a questionnaire, bro? Relax.

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:14)

Yeah, he snapped him right in the cheek.

SPEAKER_3 (1:18)

But he was a good dude.

Joe Rogan (1:19)

He just, oh, thank you, man.

The young lady's bringing us the towels. Thank you.

She's got a crazy accent. And I don't ever think like this, but Tony was wondering what she would sound like if she was having sex. Yeah, anyway, so we're on the flight back. I gotta give up my little wet towel. And you like to caress the towel?

Tony Hinchcliffe (1:51)

I like it. I like to feel like it cold.

Joe Rogan (1:55)

What is that for? To refresh you? Is that the idea?

Or to make you know that you're not in business class or coach?

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:04)

Yeah, business class, they just give you a piece of toilet paper.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

Business class, they treat you almost as good, don't they? How does that work?

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:13)

You haven't flown in business class in such a long time, you don't remember what it's like back there.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

I flew coach just a month ago.

That's one thing, like if you can't afford it, it doesn't seem like it would be worth it. But what's worth it is you don't have to think about it as much. You have more space, you can relax, you get off quicker, you get on quicker.

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:34)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:35)

But people don't like it.

It's weird. Like people like Southwest. I feel like it's an egalitarian airline. You get on Southwest and, you know, everybody's the same.

Tony Hinchcliffe (2:46)

Yeah, I'm not into that.

Joe Rogan (2:50)

It's not that bad, it's effective. It gets people on board without too much bullshit. But I think it's a good system.

And you can occasionally get lucky to sit next to some fun people.

Tony Hinchcliffe (3:01)

I met a girl over the weekend that works for Southwest, and she's all like, she's like, hey, you know, you must travel a lot. If you ever want, I can get you a discount on Southwest flights. I'm like, I'm okay.

Joe Rogan (3:16)

Sometimes you have to take them, though.

JetBlue is a good airline. That JetBlue that we flew from Buffalo to New York City. JetBlue is nice. Yeah. I feel like it's just, there's a thing going on where they just decided to shove as many people into a plane as possible. Forget about how good the experience is. But if you work for an airline, I would have to imagine working for JetBlue feels better than working for, so like, United right now. Everybody hates United after that dude got beat up and dragged off a plane.

Oh, must be such a bummer. I mean, I bet like flight attendants have to deal with all sorts of mean people that are snapping at them because that guy got beat up.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:03)

Right, people start like making reverse threats. Like, oh, what are you going to do, drag me off of here?

Joe Rogan (4:08)

Yeah, yeah, oh, for sure.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:10)

No, I just offered you a bag of peanuts.

Joe Rogan (4:12)

Ah.

Yeah, for sure, right? Like, what a terrible thing to see. They decided, he's already sitting down, he's already about to fly. I mean, and they say, nope, you got to get up.

Tony Hinchcliffe (4:27)

And what's really weird is that, like, one dude made that decision. He's just a security guy, probably for the airport, probably not specifically for United.

And he's just like, he's like, he had it with that Asian surgeon, doctor guy. He's like, you know what? You have too much of an attitude for an Asian guy. I'm going to drag you out of here.
