214: The Guest Canceled, So We Roasted Glenn’s No Good, Horribble, Terrible Travel Day

We had a guest cancel at the last minute, so Craig Sullivan, Suzanne Bagnera, PhD, CHA, CED, and I opened drinks and talked about my absolute disaster of a travel day.

I’m not giving away the whole thing, but yesterday involved delayed flights, a plane too hot to board, a jammed wheelchair, Atlanta airspace doing Atlanta airspace things, a sick flight attendant, a Popeyes dream that died quickly, a late-night LIRR miracle, and the crushing realization that I wasn’t getting Taco Bell at the end of it.

Suzanne somehow turned our text thread into a blues song, Craig did Craig things, and I tried to explain the whole mess without reliving too much trauma.

We also got to the important business:
🍾 Identical Dispenser Bottles beat Breakfast Buffet Hunger Games
🐴 The Four Horsemen of Hotel Misery are officially set
🧠 Glenn Knows Stuff returns with Jets misery, peacoats, landlines, and cars
☎️ Craig apparently still lives in a world where landlines matter
✈️ Delta and I need some time apart

Speaker 1: [00:00:12] And.

Glenn: [00:00:32] Everybody, welcome to the one and only Friday night audit, the only show in hospitality that has the answer to Mitch McConnell’s whereabouts. He’s been out catching past episodes of F a and he can’t get enough of them to tell the world he’s alive. So we’re very excited about that.

Craig: [00:00:47] That’s it, you know, and I’m so proud of you having that 20 minute conversation with him yesterday. I can’t wait to see that video.

Glenn: [00:00:55] All right, everybody, I’m Glenn Haussman, that’s Craig Sullivan. So Craig we got no guests today. They had an emergency and had to cancel last second, but we said, what the heck, let’s come on and mess around. What do you think?

Craig: [00:01:06] I think it’s still a great idea. It’s. It’s too bad our guests couldn’t join us today, so we’ll we’ll work on getting him rescheduled.

Glenn: [00:01:13] I have a good idea. Why don’t we make Suzanne the guest? Why don’t you introduce her? Hey, there she is.

Craig: [00:01:18] Suzanne Bagnara, Vegas bound Suzanne joining us today. How are you, Suzanne? I haven’t seen you in, like, 30s.

Suzanne: [00:01:27] It’s you know, it’s been so long. I quite honestly, I just figured that we should just pivot today’s episode to just really focus on Glenn. I’m not the spotlight here. I feel that we should take our texts. Maybe we could take the text from yesterday and Glenn’s travel and make 1 or 2 songs that everyone’s gonna sing about. You know, like, I have to take a poop. Like, it could really be entertaining.

Craig: [00:01:56] Well, you know what? I, I, you know, Suzanne, you should throw up that breaking news banner, because we do have breaking news.

Suzanne: [00:02:03] Do we? Okay, hold on that one. There we go.

Craig: [00:02:07] Glen Housman removes Ivanka and Jerry from buying a house off the Albanian coast. 1400 hectares. Now to become the House of G. And the Pink Flamingo Gaming Club.

Glenn: [00:02:24] That’s right.

Craig: [00:02:25] Private airfield will not be used by.

Glenn: [00:02:28] Consulting with me. It’s going to be very exciting. Well.

Craig: [00:02:31] That you’re not allowing the guests to fly their jets in that they still have to go to an international airport and go through customs, right?

Glenn: [00:02:38] And then you have to swim to the island, and only if you can make it and prove your mettle, then you could enjoy my sanctuary. But there’s one thing we could all enjoy.

Craig: [00:02:53] Cheers.

Glenn: [00:02:54] Cheers. Thank goodness it’s cocktail time. I I didn’t have one drink yesterday. Well, I added one glass of wine, but I should have. If I knew what was going to happen, I would have had more.

Craig: [00:03:06] No more would have it been faster for you to get home if you would have taken a train?

Glenn: [00:03:12] No, it wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t that bad. So for everybody, everybody, you know, everybody who travels a lot, you know what it is? Every once in a while you have stories like the ones that happened to me yesterday. So I’m not seeking your pity. It’s welcome. It’s definitely welcome. Feel free. Feel free to feel bad for all good old G over here. But yeah, it was just one of those crazy things of errors. And you guys did get to follow it along with the with all my delightful text messages.

Craig: [00:03:41] Yeah, yeah. Hey, now, where were you flying out of initially to go to Atlanta.

Glenn: [00:03:51] I was at I was at the Destin-fort Walton airport in the panhandle of Florida. It’s I think very close to Alabama, like 20 to 30 miles or something like that. Right.

Suzanne: [00:04:07] That’s the friend Kate Price Howard, a fan and guest of our No Vacancy show.

Speaker 5: [00:04:14] Yep. Yeah, I.

Glenn: [00:04:15] Was I was up in Pensacola and.

Speaker 5: [00:04:18] That.

Suzanne: [00:04:19] Time zone in our state.

Speaker 5: [00:04:20] I know it was so weird being.

Glenn: [00:04:21] In central time zone, but still being in Florida and stuff like that. I was a little kind of bummed about that because if I was in the eastern time zone, it would have stayed light out much, much later. Instead, sunset was at 732 when I was there, and it made me sad because I already know the days are getting are getting shorter and I started to like really start worrying about the the end of summer. But then I went outside in Florida and I was instantly colored, covered in a layer of sweat from all of that humidity, which I’m not built for over there. Also not built for 16 hour travel days or whatever I did yesterday.

Craig: [00:05:03] So you went from Florida, Alabama to.

Glenn: [00:05:10] I had to go through Atlanta to get back home. But I will tell you, I had I had this situation coming because on the way down, I had a 2.5 hour between my flights and I’m like, oh, it’s such a long time. What am I going to do, a big baby? But by the time all the delays happen and stuff like that, I got to the gate, waited five minutes and boarded the flight. So I felt pretty good about myself. Where the the lady, the lady next to me missed her flight and was going to have to stay overnight from, and go to before going to Tulsa the next day. So I was peacocking about it all week. As you know, I was telling everybody about how I had that big, that big gap and stuff like that. So it’s no surprise that I got effed and you know how it goes. Craig. It starts out innocuous enough. It starts out with your flight’s been delayed ten minutes. You know. Right.

Speaker 6: [00:06:02] And I’ve been around long enough to know once you see that.

Glenn: [00:06:07] Then it’s not going to get any better after that at that point. Right.

Craig: [00:06:11] So no, not at all.

Glenn: [00:06:13] So I’m like, okay, I’ve got an hour and five minutes, an hour and ten minutes or something between flights or something like that. Plus there’s a good cushion on the time schedule to get me there. So at this point, I’m not really worried particularly since they said we’re going to be boarding in a few in a few minutes, then they’re not boarding, they’re not boarding, they’re not boarding. And I’m like, what’s going on? And they finally got back on the horn and they’re like the cabin’s too hot. They gotta cool it down a little bit. So we’ll all be comfortable for our 45 minute flight, right?

Speaker 6: [00:06:50] So I’m like, we, we all got connections.

Glenn: [00:06:54] I’m sure because everyone, unless you’re going to Atlanta, I would guess has got to connect somewhere with this Destin-fort Walton airport. Right? So the cat was too hot. Something some piece of equipment on the ground broke. So they were running one engine to keep it a little bit cool. Then they kept doing that. That took about 20 minutes. Then they started to pre-board. It was really exciting because I’m like, oh shit, we could still make it. This is amazing. We still have a chance. It’s gonna happen. We’re going to do it. They start taking the wheelchairs on and then nothing happens and it’s like another ten minutes with nothing happening. I’m like, this is the longest pre-board ever. Next thing you know, I’m standing. I’m, you know me because I’m a hoverer. I gotta know what’s going on all the time. I can’t unless I’m at the bar. I’m like, I got to get more information. So I’m standing around and I. And this nice lady from you know, whatever the subcontractor is, it handles the wheelchairs and all the people and stuff like that. She says that wheelchair on the plane got wedged in there and they couldn’t get the thing out, so forever to do that. And then of course playing got hot again. So they had to cool down a little bit more. But I kept thinking about this poor lady who’s stuck on there now all alone in the airplane, probably see like 28 G or something like that, wondering where everybody is. I know, so it’s crazy.

Glenn: [00:08:18] So they get us all on the plane and I’m really super stoked and I’m like stressed out and I’m like, alright, it’s going to be, it’s going to be in, it’s in the Lord’s hands. If I’m going to be late, I just have to try to, I have to try to go with it. It’s going to be what it’s going to be. And get very excited. And then all of a sudden they’re like they closed all the airspace in Atlanta. They’re not letting anyone in or out because it’s so hot on the plane. Y’all got to get off the plane now, and we’ll call you back here in 90 minutes at about 4:00, and we’ll let you know what’s gonna happen at that point. All right. So we now we get all get off the plane. And I’m like, alright, it’s it’s like, what am I going to do? What am I going to do? And at this point, I know I’ve read, I’ve been through this before. We’ve all been through this before. You know how this is going to go. So I call up our friends over at Delta Airlines, right. And lovely woman called. And I really do appreciate the person who was on the phone over here. And I’m like hey, you know so we got kicked off the plane and I think I’m just going to punt this and I’m going to try again tomorrow because I don’t need my blood to boil over. So, you know, tap, tap tap tap tap tap.

Craig: [00:09:37] Tap tap tap.

Glenn: [00:09:40] Tap tap.

Speaker 7: [00:09:41] Tap tap.

Glenn: [00:09:44] So you know, tapping, tapping, tapping. And she’s like yeah you’re still on the plane. I can’t, I can’t do anything. I’m like, no, no, they kicked everyone off the plane. She goes, yes, but they think you’re all on the plane, so you can’t change any reservations because you’re on the plane. I’m like, but we’re not on the plane.

Craig: [00:10:07] But the system says you’re on the plane.

Glenn: [00:10:10] So then she’s like, you know, you gotta wait till the system, you know, releases all of that, that kind of good stuff. I’m like, all right, patience, I’ll just wait and then I’ll just change it then. So I’m waiting about 20 minutes and all of a sudden they’re like the good news, I, they’ve opened up the airspace. So now, because, you know, we got to rush everybody to get back on, right? So we get back on, we get back on. And I’m really delighted they didn’t just leave us on their second day, you know, because then we could have just left right and all probably all done well. So another half hour goes by. They finally get everyone reseated rev up the engines. We start going, put us on the tarmac. Atlanta’s now closed airspace again. We’re going to sit here for another 15, 20 minutes. So I’m like, I’m so screwed. And then we finally take off and we’re flying there. And I’m logged into my screen on Delta. They’ve made it very easily on a lot of the planes to be able to do that. And I start getting messages that my my flight to New York has been delayed. We apologize. It’s delayed seven minutes. Then ten minutes later it’s delayed another eight minutes. And these motherfuckers got me start getting me excited. I’m like, oh, oh, maybe I’m gonna do it because I’ve been down this road before. I know how it goes. Once the delays start, it cascades. I’m going to make it right. So of course, I missed that flight by five minutes, even though I’m at the gate literally next door to the gate that I was.

Speaker 8: [00:11:47] No, no.

Speaker 7: [00:11:49] I take this moment to apologize.

Glenn: [00:11:51] To the 78 year old lady who I checked into the the, the wall in order to get out of the plane quicker. I hope you’re recovering, but Yeah, but I’m telling you, it was crazy. So I missed that. And I’m like, all right, I gotta get another flight over here. This is effed up. I’m going to do it. There’s a 730 flight, but you should know it’s 635 right now. Yeah. And it’s like I’m like, all right the 730 flight, I could try to go on, but it’s only stand by. I’m like, I can’t do that. I haven’t eaten all day. Anyway. I’ll take the 730, I’ll go over to Popeye’s. I’ll make myself feel a little bit better because I love that chicken at Popeye’s. And you know that it makes me happy, right? So I change it to this. I change it to the, to the 830. Sorry, the seventh. Yeah, change it to the 830. I go over the Popeye’s. The Popeye’s is a mess. It’s horrible. It’s disgusting. So I wind up at Wendy’s. That was not so great. I had a chicken sandwich somewhere along the line.

Glenn: [00:12:49] I lost my drink. I don’t know what happened there. So now I’m parched with a spicy chicken sandwich waiting for my 830 flight. So I go, we’re sitting down. I’m like, this is going to be great. I could still make a. I could still make such and such, you know, train and I can get home and it won’t be too, too horrible. And then the 830 flight suddenly gets delayed to 9 p.m. because a flight attendant has now decided they’re ill and they can’t fly and they have to find another flight attendant. So at this point, at this point, what do you what do you even do? You’ve got to start, you’ve got to start laughing. I was like, I was my brain was going to explode at this at this point. So. Right. So I’m like, I couldn’t believe it. So and we wait like literally an hour, the flight gets punted to 930. The, this lady, she shows up, she’s like, and she’s like heralded as a, as the, a queen. Everyone’s like.

Craig: [00:13:55] Yeah.

Glenn: [00:13:57] She gets on the plane, she gets settled. Five minutes later, the captain comes out and there’s a little conversation, and I know what’s going on, and the woman at the desk are like, no, no, no. And they give him the they give him the little microphone thing. Right? So then he gets on the phone, he goes up, I hate to do this, but New York has just closed the airspace. And we had gotten out earlier. We’d have been fine.

Craig: [00:14:32] Oh my God.

Glenn: [00:14:35] Another hour goes by and we finally get up in the air at like ten, 15, ten, 1030, something like that. I land, it’s 1230. And we, we start going to the gate, we’re going to the gate going gate. Everything’s fine. We stop and they’re like yeah, the gate that we’re at, we have to be pulled in by you know, by the airport vehicle. Another 20 minutes goes by and then they finally pull in the airport vehicle. And then of course, when I got to the AirTrain in order to get to the real train, I missed that by one minute and had to wait an extra 14 minutes for that train. And then I did manage to make the Long Island Railroad, the 1:54 a.m. train by three minutes. So I was really excited about that. Then I got to, I got to Deer Park and I had to wait 20 minutes to get an Uber. So I wound up hanging out with this guy who was supposed to get off at the Wyandanch station, but wasn’t quick enough on his feet to make it. Now he’s stuck. And because it’s now, because it’s after three in the morning, the only train going back towards the city is like a massive train filled with boxcars and stuff like that for the next two hours. So I said, I finally got to bed about 4 a.m. this morning, but man, what a travel day. But at least I got a good story out of it. Now.

Craig: [00:16:02] Did you think of maybe filming any of your exploits?

Glenn: [00:16:08] No, because all that would have come off is this fucking fox.

Craig: [00:16:14] Yeah, but it’s worth it. See, now we’ve got that captured, and we can add that in, beginning with Liz doing her spit take. We’re going to send that over to editor Dale for sure.

Glenn: [00:16:30] So anyway, that was an effing nightmare. And the worst part is I couldn’t even get any Taco Bell at the end of the night, because I.

Craig: [00:16:39] Know you love Taco Bell.

Glenn: [00:16:41] I know I had one look at my my Uber driver and I’m like, this guy’s not game for anything. So I’m like

Suzanne: [00:16:50] I think you, I think you captured that he had a challenge. We haven’t gotten much further than that.

Craig: [00:16:56] And delightful.

Suzanne: [00:17:00] Other than it might being hot. I, I, I will say that I have managed to successfully take our text messages and make a song for us.

Craig: [00:17:10] Oh, nice.

Suzanne: [00:17:11] I mean, I don’t know what the beat is, but it’s still in Florida. The Glen Housman blues. Back down to the hotel. Three minutes to go. Thought I’d be home by the late night show. Walked outside the ER, said nope. Florida baby stole all my hope. The plane was breaking on the Destin ramp. Cabin so hot they couldn’t let us in. Sat for hours in the summer sun before this travel day even begun. Every time I think I’m finally free, another notification waits for me. I’m in. Destin. Can somebody explain? First it was Florida sunshine. Now it’s weather and rain. Every gates. Another heartbreak. Every app says please stand by. At this rate, I’ll make it home sometime before July finally landed. But it wasn’t done. Atlanta said no incoming flights. Everyone disappeared without a trace. Now I’m memorizing every terminal place. Craig keeps asking. Seen a gator yet, buddy? I got bigger problems to regret. San says Naples is where they stay. I’m just trying to get away after delay. Delay again and again. At this point, I’m dating Delta’s gate agents.

Glenn: [00:18:36] Hi, Marcus.

Suzanne: [00:18:40] I’m still in Atlanta. Someone call my home. Every time they promise boarding, something goes wrong and weather holds. This trip writes itself. It’s true. Tomorrow’s podcast has its opening story. And I’m living every clue. Flight guessing may be Maybe Glen’s asleep on the plane. Maybe he’s asleep on a train. Maybe he fell asleep in the fancy lounge. Craig says key word asleep. Then comes the winning line. Wait a minute. He could be having a 20 minute interview with Mitch McConnell. Still not boarding. Still in Atlanta. There’s a whole nother forest.

Craig: [00:19:18] But that’s.

Glenn: [00:19:18] Hysterical.

Craig: [00:19:20] That is really, really funny.

Suzanne: [00:19:21] That was pretty much all of our tests.

Craig: [00:19:25] Yeah.

Glenn: [00:19:25] I will say Marcus, the flight attendant, the lead, the fleet flight attendant on the flight home to New York was really, really. It was really? Really. Yeah. From Atlanta to New York. He was really funny. He’s like I want to get I know you all guys. I want to get home even more than you do. He’s like I’m not allowed to say hurry up because that’s against the rule book. But let’s move as expeditiously as possible, please.

Suzanne: [00:19:51] So yeah, I did say that today we would literally have our own show with this story for today.

Craig: [00:19:57] Yeah.

Glenn: [00:19:59] Yeah. So hey, that one goes out for all us road warriors out there. And you know, you can’t. You can’t have all the good times without the the really, really crazy times out there. I’ll tell you. I’ll tell you what, but what a hoot. What a hoot in retrospect, but yesterday was fun.

Suzanne: [00:20:18] When’s your next trip?

Glenn: [00:20:20] Sunday after 10 a.m. flight. Sunday morning. So I got to be on 7 a.m. train.

Suzanne: [00:20:26] Where are you off to this time?

Glenn: [00:20:28] I’m going to Chicago. Our our good friends over at Ocra have invited me to be on their podcast called Spot On, so I’ll be recording that on Monday. But next Friday, guys James Hanson and Sarah Becker are going to be on from Ocra on our show. So it’s going to be, I guess, a little podcast exchange program, although it didn’t work out that way, that these things happened independently. It just worked out that they’re in the same week, which is kind of funny.

Suzanne: [00:20:55] Well, hopefully they don’t really see this episode because they might cancel your trip.

Glenn: [00:21:01] Delta or the.

Craig: [00:21:03] Podcast.

Suzanne: [00:21:04] Could be both.

Craig: [00:21:05] Yeah, that could be both. Glad. Yeah.

Glenn: [00:21:08] I just was like yeah, I was just like, I’m not, I’m not fond of Delta today. I mean, there was just, it was just such a one thing after another. But what are you going to do? Oh goodness gracious. All right. Before we wrap up today, I feel like that was probably good enough. We wanted to keep this short. Should we do our. Should we reveal who won in the last round of our. Yep.

Craig: [00:21:31] Yes.

Craig: [00:21:33] Alright then. We’ve got Glenn. No stuff after that. We have got after that. Glenn. No. Oh. Oh, God. Oh.

Glenn: [00:21:42] I’m in great shape for that. All right, everybody, to round out the Four Horsemen of hospitality misery dispenser bottles eliminates breakfast buffet Hunger Games by only a 5% margin 45 to 55%. Super, super close. That really one joining water pressure roulette outlet desert and constantly hidden lamp switches in the in the final. Wait, did I get that right? Yeah. It in the sponsor bottles in the the final four. So that’s going to be really, really exciting here. I think maybe next time we kind of we have James and Sarah help us link up which one should compete against each other, and then we’ll get that going.

Craig: [00:22:29] That sounds like a very good idea.

Suzanne: [00:22:32] Can we lighten up the color instead of that purple? I mean, I’m all about purple. I mean, my glasses are purple.

Craig: [00:22:37] It is a little bit dark. It is a little bit dark. And so yeah.

Suzanne: [00:22:41] I feel like I have to.

Craig: [00:22:42] Like, I agree.

Glenn: [00:22:43] With you. When I saw that today, I was, I was seeing that, but it was too exhausting to have to redo it lighter. You know.

Craig: [00:22:51] It’s all.

Suzanne: [00:22:51] Good. It just feels like each week it gets a little darker.

Glenn: [00:22:55] Alright, so, Craig, let’s find out what I don’t know and let’s.

Craig: [00:22:58] Go find the answers right now. Suzanne might have to read you the questions and the answers.

Suzanne: [00:23:03] Fine, I got it. This time. I’m actually ready to go.

Craig: [00:23:05] Yeah. The video two to play. That’s a wonderful picture of Glenn.

Suzanne: [00:23:09] Hold on. I think I.

Craig: [00:23:10] Have Delta Airlines. I might note.

Suzanne: [00:23:13] Oh oh no, I don’t really have that loaded. Oh oh I’m sorry. I don’t look at that because you know what? I have to load it each week because it won’t go in the crazy system.

Glenn: [00:23:26] Yeah. It’s weird right?

Suzanne: [00:23:27] Yeah. That’s annoying. Okay, so Glenn knows stuff. Here’s the new edition. Okay. Which came first? The Ford Bronco or Mustang? And bonus points.

Glenn: [00:23:41] I’m gonna say Mustang.

Suzanne: [00:23:43] Okay. And what year?

Glenn: [00:23:45] I don’t know. I feel like it was later. I want to say it may have been even into the 70s, but I’m really not sure.

Suzanne: [00:23:59] Same year my husband was 64.

Glenn: [00:24:02] Wow.

Suzanne: [00:24:03] You kind of got half of that. Okay. Yeah.

Glenn: [00:24:06] So I believe the Ford Bronco would be part of like, the SUV kind of thing, which didn’t really start happening until the beginning of the 80s, right when we transitioned out of station wagons.

Craig: [00:24:17] You’re, you’re pretty close on that, but the Bronco came in two years later in 66.

Glenn: [00:24:23] Oh, really?

Craig: [00:24:24] Yeah. As a very small two door.

Glenn: [00:24:27] Yeah. I’ve never been a car guy. Yeah. I’ve only started liking, like shows where they build stuff from cars recently, you know? Suzanne. What’s next?

Suzanne: [00:24:36] What year was the last playoff victory for the New York Jets?

Glenn: [00:24:43] Last playoff victory? I do I don’t know if I really recall the year, but I know I was with Bruce Ford in a bar at a. I do know that So I’m going to say, I’m going to say it’s been a real long fucking time. Oh my God. That was 2017.

Suzanne: [00:25:07] It was.

Craig: [00:25:08] Longer.

Suzanne: [00:25:09] Than that.

Craig: [00:25:09] 20 1120.

Glenn: [00:25:11] Oh God.

Craig: [00:25:12] And they beat the oh my.

Glenn: [00:25:14] My, my hanging out in the bar with Bruce Ford still holds up though.

Craig: [00:25:18] It does. And it was on January 16th, 2011.

Glenn: [00:25:22] Because I’m pretty sure it’s like it was like the Sunday before Alice started.

Suzanne: [00:25:26] That would make sense because that was back when it was in January. Okay. Did the US Navy officially phase out the Peacoat?

Glenn: [00:25:41] I’m going to say, you know what this reminds me of? This reminds me of iocane powder, you know? Inconceivable. I know because you said that it must be the opposite. But you know that I would be thinking opposite. So it is the original. Yeah. I’m gonna have this one is a tie. This is a

Suzanne: [00:26:07] Either prepare to die.

Glenn: [00:26:09] Yeah. This is this is a coin flip for me.

Suzanne: [00:26:14] So the coin.

Glenn: [00:26:15] I. All right. What was the first? What was the first option you gave me?

Suzanne: [00:26:20] It’s a yes or no question.

Glenn: [00:26:22] All right. I’ll say yes.

Craig: [00:26:24] You’re correct.

Suzanne: [00:26:25] How about what year did that happen?

Glenn: [00:26:29] That I don’t know.

Craig: [00:26:33] October 1st, 2025.

Glenn: [00:26:37] Really?

Craig: [00:26:38] Yep.

Glenn: [00:26:40] Wow.

Craig: [00:26:40] They went to a smaller nylon jacket, but sailors can still purchase the peacoat if they want it and use it. But it’s not officially part of the uniform anymore. Now you will go to your grave knowing that the Peacoat got retired. And when it comes out at Banana Republic or Gap.

Glenn: [00:27:06] I still have one. Because now that I got mine back when they made stuff that.

Craig: [00:27:10] Yeah, I still got one too.

Glenn: [00:27:11] Yeah.

Suzanne: [00:27:13] Okay. So last question. How many households in the United States still have a traditional land line telephone?

Glenn: [00:27:29] You know, I’ll tell you, what really pisses me off is I just saw an article the other day addressing that issue, and I didn’t click on it to read it. And it had to do with it. I had to do with something like, I think one of the companies wants to just stop doing it because there’s so few people left on it. So I’m just going to say how many households? I’ll say 10% of households are still still have it.

Suzanne: [00:27:59] That would be double that a little bit more 2,028% of households.

Speaker 9: [00:28:03] Wow.

Glenn: [00:28:04] That’s a lot.

Craig: [00:28:05] Roughly roughly 55 million.

Glenn: [00:28:07] Now is it. But that’s like people like Mitch McConnell’s age that have it and yours.

Speaker 9: [00:28:14] I.

Glenn: [00:28:18] I don’t have a landline. We don’t have any of that.

Craig: [00:28:22] I’ve still got one.

Glenn: [00:28:23] We used to have one. We used to have one for a long time. Just because my mom couldn’t handle the fact that we didn’t have one. But then she finally got when she finally got on board with the mobile stuff, then. Then she. Systematic.

Craig: [00:28:39] You know who else has a landline?

Glenn: [00:28:42] No.

Craig: [00:28:44] Ani garfinkle.

Speaker 9: [00:28:46] Hey.

Glenn: [00:28:47] That’s exciting.

Craig: [00:28:48] Yeah, I call him on it every day.

Suzanne: [00:28:54] I got find when I moved to Florida.

Glenn: [00:28:57] Hey, did you see those posts from Paula?

Suzanne: [00:28:59] Yes. Do you want to talk about them?

Glenn: [00:29:02] You know, she gives credit. She’s giving credit to a hotel. Why not? You know?

Suzanne: [00:29:07] So. Yes, Arnie. Thank you. Okay, so Paula is shouting out the double G. Chelsea Logan that’s a that’s a great property. Having been from Boston. Looks like the departed and Whitey Bulger land driving over there. Yes, they are close by then. Not only to miles away of course is the encore.

Speaker 9: [00:29:31] Yeah.

Glenn: [00:29:32] That place is great. Yeah, just. I’m looking at the rare steakhouse right now.

Craig: [00:29:37] Of course you are.

Suzanne: [00:29:41] That was a pretty cool spot, bringing that on. And that’s how Glen got to meet my friend Brian from win.

Speaker 9: [00:29:47] Yeah.

Suzanne: [00:29:48] Because I helped when I was there. Drive student People, employees, candidates in terms of the recruiting process.

Speaker 9: [00:29:58] Yeah. That’s awesome.

Suzanne: [00:30:00] And then that’s how Glen got to meet Brian and got to do really cool things in a studio in Las Vegas. That’s where I try and add another tour to. I don’t know, I need something fun to do on Monday. Yes.

Speaker 9: [00:30:15] Yeah. You should really do.

Glenn: [00:30:17] Encore. Wynn and encore are just really great, great properties. You should definitely.

Speaker 9: [00:30:25] Check that out.

Craig: [00:30:26] Without a doubt.

Suzanne: [00:30:27] Arnie has factually corrected Craig. He actually has two landlines.

Speaker 9: [00:30:34] Wow.

Suzanne: [00:30:35] Apparently, Craig only has one number, though.

Speaker 9: [00:30:37] No, I.

Craig: [00:30:38] I’ve got the other one too. He calls me occasionally, and he goes right to junk mail or. Spam block because it’s not the phone book.

Glenn: [00:30:49] So that’s. All right. Let’s let’s wrap this up since since we had no guests today. I’m exhausted. I think we’ve done good. We’ll see y’all back here next week. We’re gonna have a really good show. I’m telling you, those the guests that we have next week are super fun, super fun people. So to make up for how much we suck.

Suzanne: [00:31:09] What I, I don’t know, I’ll have to see how it ends. Conference ends at 415. We’ll see what my night holds. My flight isn’t until 1050 that night, so.

Craig: [00:31:18] Oh.

Glenn: [00:31:19] Oh.

Suzanne: [00:31:19] You guys are producing. I might just try and be able to at least join in.

Glenn: [00:31:23] No, no, I’ll I’ll I’ll definitely run the show. That’s not a problem. If you could be out and about and do some cool shit there, that’d be fun.

Craig: [00:31:29] Yeah. Do that. And that way you can get out of doing Glenn know stuff.

Suzanne: [00:31:34] Okay. All right. Let’s I will pack the video.

Craig: [00:31:38] We’ll have it as a backup just in case.

Suzanne: [00:31:40] All right. Video camera will get packed in the bag. Jennifer might not get her pineapples then, but you know it well.

Glenn: [00:31:47] All right. Whatever. All right. To get to everybody.

Craig: [00:31:50] Aloha. Have a good weekend. No one gets mad. Don’t.
