The Hello, welcome in episode 1244 of The Sleeper in the Bust. It is Friday January 12th. I'm your host Paul Spoor.

joined this morning by Justin Mason Justin. Good morning sir. Good morning how you

doing? I'm doing all right. I'm tired but I'm doing all right. I'm tired. I'm doing all right. I'm not going anywhere this weekend.

As we originally planned, we just decided to avoid the potential chaos with the we were going to be flying on Alaska

Are you familiar with what happened on their airline recently Justin? Oh yeah

Yeah, so for those that don't know a door flew off. Now apparently wasn't being used as a door so it's it's called a door plug or something. Whatever a piece of the goddamn plane flew off while it was flying and I don't really care what you want to call it is terrifying

Thankfully everything was pretty pretty okay some people's shit got sucked out, some kids shirt got yoyked off.

Could you imagine the pressure just ripping your shirt off? That's insane.

I am petrified to fly. It's not a great flyer. It was one of the things that like

popped up out of nowhere when I got sober. I mean I was in the army I jumped out of planes. Yeah. So like and I mean I've my mom worked for the airlines growing up so like I got free air travel and stuff so I've flown hundreds probably

close to thousands of times in my life and then when I got sober all of a sudden like

I became scared of flying like it's like oh now I have something to live for and I'm a

Yeah, exactly. But like I still do it, but this does not help.

No, you know what else it doesn't help? When you watch the movie flight two days

before that happens and I did this and I don't really know why like I knew the trip was coming up and everything and I knew that

that movie would be in my head.

I did not know that two days later the airline that I was flying was going to have a door blow off their airplane.

So you know we're dealing with that and Alaska's like shutting down different planes and what

not.

Then we have a pending like ice storm freeze over situation here in

Austin that's supposed to happen late Sunday. Before we like after after we get back, like, we were going to have it time kind of perfectly where we were going to get back,

then the weather was going to kind of turn.
