I'm grumpy. The reason I'm grumpy is that I just pulled an all-nighter. That's why we're

0:26.1

a little late with the show today because Coca had to get me out of my grumpiness, which I think

0:32.0

he sort of did in a way that only Coca can. I'm grumpy because I just flew across the country,

0:39.4

and it's the whole night started connecting through Los Angeles. No problem. I'm fine,

0:45.7

a little sunburned, but all good. Get on the plane, ready to go. I think I'm going to get back at

0:51.6

like 130 in the morning, and that's going to be on time, and everything's going to be good. And

0:56.5

I'll warn of set Coca by running late on this random Tuesday morning, June 15th. Get on the plane,

1:03.1

doors closed, boom, nothing. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I'm looking around. I'm trying to watch

1:09.3

a movie. The plane's not moving. The captain comes on the microphone and says, we've got a person

1:16.4

1:34.7

Then the captain comes and starts talking to a group of passengers and he says to us, listen,

1:39.8

we've just changed our entire rules. We're not going to forcibly get this woman off the plane. She's

1:45.7

got to go off on her own accord. If she doesn't, we're all going to have to deplane.

1:50.0

And I said, excuse me, I'm not understanding that there's one person who doesn't want to wear a mask.

1:54.7

So 200 of us are going to get off the plane and what she's going to sit on the plane and do a

1:58.7

hostile takeover of an empty plane. How is this making sense to you? He said, it's just the new rule.

2:04.7

We don't want anything on social media. So I wanted to take a video of the whole thing.

2:10.0

So what we did is we started spreading the word around the plane. No problem. Get this woman off.

2:15.3

So eventually she left and then the captain left and then the plane took off. So I'm fine. We landed

2:22.4
