It's haystack.
Speaker A:And Congress is trying to ban phone and video calls on airplanes.
Speaker A:And honestly, this may be the most bipartisan thing America's ever tried to do because nobody, nobody left, right, middle, libertarian, vegan, crypto guy, whatever.
Speaker A:Nobody wants to sit in seat 23B while the woman next to them spends 90 minutes yelling at her baby daddy over airplane WI Fi.
Speaker A:I mean, to be fair, flying is already a bit of a social experiment.
Speaker A:We're.
Speaker A:We're strapped into a metal tube with strangers with knees in our chest and a baby screaming like it knows something about the landing gear.
Speaker A:We do not need FaceTime added to it.
Speaker A:Most US airlines already don't allow voice calls over cellular.
Speaker A:But WI fi is getting much better and more common in airplanes.
Speaker A:And apparently some people think the next frontier of travel is to let everyone conduct personal business at 34,000ft.
Speaker A:Absolutely not.
Speaker A:There's already enough noises on a plane.
Speaker A:Seat belt ding, overhead, bin slam, guy behind you clearing his throat every 18 seconds.
Speaker A:Now imagine adding, no, Johnny, I told you, my mama picking him up from daycare.
Speaker A:That's, that's like an act of terrorism with AirPods.
Speaker A:Ban the calls now.
Speaker A:Ban it now before the airlines realize they can charge us 39.99 for premium talk time and make the rest of us pay $12.99 for Quiet Zone maybe.
Speaker A:In fact, you know what?
Speaker A:I think airlines should probably go even further.
Speaker A:I think they should ban at least these six other things.
Speaker B:Well, gather round, folks.
Speaker B:It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.
Speaker B:Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.
Speaker B:Here comes the fun.
Speaker B:It's the morning 6 p. The top.
Speaker A:Six things that should be banned from airplanes.
Speaker A:Number six, lavatory trash cans that fill up 10 minutes into the flight.
Speaker A:Number five, middle seats.
Speaker A:Just get rid of them.
Speaker A:Number four, people in front of us who recline their seats.
Speaker A:Number three, people behind us who complain when we recline our seats.
Speaker A:Number two, giant backpacks that smack us in the face when the person wearing them turns.
Speaker A:And the number one thing that should absolutely, absolutely be banned from any and all airplanes, of course, babies.
