Manny and Shawn: Hey there, everybody. Welcome back to the Manny and what Shawn experience show spelled S H A W N. The correct spelling of Shawn And welcome to episode one, one, one one hundred and eleven. It is one of them. One eleven, baby. We have made it. To this episode. ⁓ How are you doing, Manny? I'm. You know, it's been all right. was just, February wasn't a good month. February, just was not a good mental month for me. It was very struggle-y. So, you know, here we are recording this on March 1st. Hopefully new vibes, new energy, new light, new meaning, new purpose comes into my life. I love that for you. You know, affirmations, they're important. You know, what's funny is my therapist once said, ⁓ I affirmations are good, but she's like, some people live through affirmations and it can set you up for failure. Yeah. Cause as much as you want that affirmation to be true and you can set out for it to be true, that doesn't mean that things can't happen in that day that will derail you from the affirmation. So, you know, I don't know why I found that so insightful because I'm always liking affirmations on, on social media. Like, yeah, that sounds fucking great. But you know, there is some truth to that. Like you, you sometimes do hold onto those words too much and then it can have a negative impact. Yeah, I totally agree. Like you can go in with the best intentions of being positive to anything. And then the moment something goes wrong, kind of throws you off mentally. Yeah. But I think there's still a good way to bring some light to your day though. Well, welcome to March. Happy Leprechaun days. ⁓ Shawn, how are you? I am doing well. Leprechaun days. Leprechaun days threw me off. I'm doing well. It's been a somewhat busy time at work, but we pushed through. You gotta pay these bills. And these vacations. And these vacations, these upcoming vacations, which I am excited about. I love the start of a new year because it is a chance to start planning for vacation and travel. I'm sitting over here counting my coins to my PTO. How am I going to make this work? You gotta make sure that everything is accounted for. Yeah, because companies are very stingy with PTO. Very stingy with PTO and then it takes you forever to bank. to like the next level, which is usually just like, ⁓ well, here's another week. And it's five days. And it can take you a decade to get that. Thank you for 10 years of service. Here's an extra week of vacation. You know, I did a webinar for work the other day and the lady that was introducing me or us, panel, and she's like, Manny has over a decade of experience in education. I'm like, ⁓ that made. That sounded really old. Let's not use decade. I'd rather hear over 10 years of experience. A decade makes me feel really old. It's the same thing though. I know it is, but just hearing the word decade versus 10 years, don't know. Decade sounds like, Should I say half a century? I mean, soon enough she'll be able to. Shit. I still haven't won this fucking lottery. but yeah, I'm doing well. I'm so happy for you. ⁓ I have therapy again this week, so that's good. Starting it off in March, which I did that in February, which I thought was going to bring new light and new meaning, but I had a lot of things I had to go through in that session. And I think this it's going to be a while. think it's fine. You can start each month with some therapy and have tools to work through that month. And hopefully. Each month gets a little better. Hopefully by summer of 2026. Yes, hopefully by summer of 2026. Got a lot of good things coming up in the summer. But hope all of you out there are doing very well, taking care of yourselves. We say it all the time. Thank you also for tuning in again to the ManuShawn Experience show. ⁓ you're new here, MASXP23 Insta TikTok. but we're like sometimes on threads. don't know, threads is something else. Threads is the whole thing. And sometimes I mainly forget it's there and only when I'm on Instagram and it shows me a little notification that's like so much is on threads. And I go over the threads and then it was like, ⁓ let me scroll here for a little bit. But I'm just like, it seems pointless. It seems like another scroll. I, and I still don't fully understand, like now they got these topics, I think communities or something like that. I don't know. Do you not use hashtags? And then it's very low engagement over there, at least for us, which whatever, but like, I don't understand it. And that's another thing about like content creation. I think we're off this part. This episode is just about us just having a good old time here on this afternoon. ⁓ Well, to finish off the MASX P23, if you're new here, we just, we probably have undiagnosed ADHD. So we jump from topic to topic. I have undiagnosed ADHD since saw Shawn's face. If you're on YouTube, that's what I wanted to say. You get the exclusive video only on YouTube. You got there. Not because we have an exclusive deal with YouTube. It's just, that's the only place the video's up. ⁓ Not because we have an exclusive deal with YouTube. Because girl, if I had an exclusive deal with YouTube, I would not be working. Anyways, where was the last point I left off on? Oh my God. I totally forgot what I was talking about. That's crazy. Did I really forget? Did you? You weren't even listening to me. I was listening, but they used jump to like, RIS XP 2030. You can, we're not exclusively using. I was talking about therapy, mental health and all Yes, we were talking about those things. Yes, I'm just hopeful it brings new energy. I think I already said that. I'm really upset I lost my train of thought. Can you guys tell us where I was? And if they can, it's too late. Because this is recorded. It's too late to apologize. It's too late. We do have some exciting things We were talking about threads. Threads is trash, Threads is trash. They got little community. I don't understand it. I feel like it was trying to be Twitter. And then it's not Twitter. So I don't get the point. And then Blue Sky, I was on there for a while. I'm still on Blue Sky. With the podcast and all I have was a bunch of people following me and like political things and I'm just like, well, clearly y'all aren't listening to the podcast. So I'm just screaming into the dark. I don't know. We have too many social media things and- Streaming platforms. Okay, they all went away. Streaming platforms, we got too many of them. I get- choice and variety, like there's so many things now. There's too many. Like if you calculated every app you pay for at this point, we're probably paying over like a hundred dollars a month. And everybody's like, ⁓ cable's so expensive. I'm like, well, is it that expensive at this point? Cause we paint it in all apps. No, I wish, I do wish streaming services were consolidated because before we had Netflix, we had who? Does it. And along came HBO Max. And then I think we were good. If we just kept it to that, would have Now we got Paramount Plus. But everybody else wanted to jump in on it. We Peacock. We got the Discovery Plus, which I think they understand why people pay for Peacock. I think they were purchased by, a lot of them have been purchased at this point. Yes. But still. And then they talk about they ain't got no money. And then they raise your money, then they raise the price. then they like, ⁓ we're to drop 21 billion on this new company. What? What the hell? What the hell was that for? Well, the Netflix Netflix did not put up more money for Warner Brothers. yeah, pulled out is. Yeah, because I think Warner Brothers asked them if they were willing to raise the or the pay. ⁓ more. for the content. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because apparently Paramount came back with a counter offer or something and Netflix was like, no, that's the deal we offered you and if you don't want it, that's fine. I mean, damn, I can't pay another dollar for Netflix, Jesus. All of it's too much, anyway. God dang, so many apps. How many apps do you have? Are you paying for countless apps? Are you stealing other people's passwords to use their apps? Are you stealing? Or sharing is a better word. Sorry, sorry, Sharing. I know we overshare some too in my family. So overshare? Well, we share like somebody's using our Netflix. My dad uses our Netflix. We pay for him. Oh, we do pay for him. Oh. Well, then we're just overusing my mom's HBO Max. That's fine. Thanks, mom. Which I guess. You can only have one person logged in at a time. Which is crazy. One day we were watching something and my mom was like, she texted me, she's like, are you using HBO? I'm like, what? Yes. Oh, you kicked me off my show. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry. Oh, you can go watch your show. We'll watch later tonight. why they can't have more than one person watching at a time. I don't know either. And we're stealing my sister's peacock. No, she gave that to us. She said we can watch it whenever we want. Yeah, family I don't understand why people wait for Peacock because there's not a lot of content on there. And feel like most of the content that's on there, you can find somewhere else besides like the Bravo shows, I guess. ⁓ Below Deck. I love Below Deck. I know. love Below Deck. Does anybody out there watch Below Deck? When I tell you this episode's going to be a hush-posh, it is like we're just rolling on topics of make no sense, no correlation. No notes, we just showed up today. Welcome to, I think this is what people enjoy. The ramblings of Manny and Charlie. People just enjoy us just talking bullshit. But anyway, blow deck. I've loved blow deck since blow deck was a thing. Oh, we'll turn it in. Kate, oh, she's my favorite. We love Kate. Love that she showed up on Traders. two different seasons. She almost won. She almost won. I have really been on below deck down under. Down under. With Captain Steve. Oh no, that's the airplane guy I watch. Oh my God, why is his name escape? You have a phone, you can Google it. I should know his name. Anyways, below deck down under the captain on that. OK, he's cute, but it's just much more entertaining. I don't like Captain Sandy for whatever reason. She just Jason Captain Jason Captain Sandy mostly does med. So we would like Sandy. She annoys the fucking shit out of me. And I know, I love that she's a woman leader. So it's not a captain. It's not a misogyny thing. It's just. She just rubs me the wrong way. Like some of the way she's reprimanded, like crew member, I'm just like, that doesn't make sense to me. The way you're reprimanding them. Captain Jason is, I don't know. He's a great leader. think I agree. He expects high level, but let's them have fun. ⁓ but I think this season is probably one of his worst in the people that he hired for this. Yeah. So we started the new season. This is not about TV shows. This is just where we landed. So, we started the new season the first day the girl left because her granddaddy was in the hospital. And so they were already down the stew. Ben is back who if you are a fan of below that, you know, Ben the chef, he is a wacky. Yeah, I just thought the first the original captain, I like him to have his name. He's retired since but. ⁓ it was fun too. But Ben is the eccentric chef and he's about to have a sous chef quit on him now. Spoiler alert. But yeah, below decks are good. when I had to leave Captain Lee, he was awesome. I liked him too. We did look at he retired. He was on there for a long time. ⁓ But one thing I love like trashy TV, I hate it. But when I'm like in a shitty mood or a terrible 28 days of emotional state. You like trash TV? Trash TV just brings me joy because I'm just like, I'm laughing at somebody else's problems at that point. It's because it feels good, right? Like it's something where you can just turn off your brain and then just enjoy the bullshit that is happening because watching this latest season, the first guests are the Real Housewives of Utah. Yeah, I didn't even know that was a thing. Where are they from? I think it's Utah. Who the fuck lives in Utah? First of all, there's no shade. If you watch the Bravo Girls, have seen a housewives. ⁓ Girls love is from Atlanta, honey. And that's it. ⁓ I seen a full season of Housewives in many years. ⁓ And I know that they have spread out the franchise to be in many different places. But these women are acting a fucking fool on this boat. a fool. They don't pay for this boat for two days and just breaking glass, fighting. Two of them have been sick most of the time, the primary. And it's just they've been fighting at the dinner table. They're trying to clear the table. They're trying to bring food. And they just in here having an argument about you told her this and you told her that. And I'm just like, y'all are on a mega yacht that you're paid for. mean, we did learn that you get a discount for being on that show. True, true, But like at the end of the day, it was funny because they were trying to serve dinner and it's like high class, right? Yacht service. And they're just like, excuse me, can I excuse me? They're like arguing, like literally screaming and they're still trying to put the plates down like nothing. I would have just dropped that shit and kept walking. I don't got time for y'all, but you should check out below deck. It's great trash TV. It's great trash TV along with the traders, but you guys know about. Yeah, straighter, straighter, straighter. And then one of your other trashes. don't know if this is trash, but the zombie house man. Yeah, the zombie house show. That's I don't know. We landed. I just needed something on TV one day and I press play. It was it's all it's all hulu. It's not the best, but I do love how they turn these shit homes into like beautiful multimillion dollar homes. And yeah, it's pretty impressive. I almost want to submit my name to flip a house. Why not? I don't got no, he's hired people with no experience. Then what you gonna do? I'm gonna flip a house. You have no experience, so what you gonna do? You gonna talk to Gemini? Bitch, I know how to manage a project. Okay. I hire traits to do the work. But you don't know what traits you need. I'll hire somebody to tell me what traits to do. You spending a lot of money. That's his money, not mine. He will be looking at you like, why would you? He gave me a budget. I'm gonna find somebody to file a budget. I know how to do a budget. Just because nobody in my career has given an opportunity to do something great, doesn't mean I don't know how to do great. Okay. You know what I mean? The string mean? Your budgets. I don't know. We can make $400,000 profit. We split that. That's 200 and some grand. Look, flipping seems like a great business. And if I had the mindset to flip... properties, I'd be out here flipping properties, but. You just got to get a good general contractor. That's going to bring in good people to do the work. Yeah. You have to have a good general contractor. But the thing that worries me about the flipping process is the whole actually selling the house at the end, because if the house sits on the market for a couple of months, you could still pay that mortgage for it. Yeah, I agree. So we're not going to do that. what we're saying. We're just going to drive our ass right down to Publix and go get us some scratch offs. We do have something that we've been talking about doing. And I think we've teased on this show quite a few times. Do you know what it is? No. Okay. Um, it is wait a minute, pause. yeah. That. So our second venture in life, our second venture in life. We haven't succeeded with this one, but we'll make another one. want you guys to tell us. what you think about it. So the idea is that we would watch a show the full season. We would record our reaction. It's like everybody else doing on YouTube right now. Yeah, it would just be a reaction channel. It's up to us. you love us. You don't love those other people, right? This is what we do anyway. I right. It's the whole reason why we started the podcast, because we would have these conversations at the dinner table. Well, now we have conversations while we're watching shows where Manuel asked me to pause the show so that we can discuss what we just talked, what just happened. And then we will resume the show. have nothing else going on in our lives. So we sit on the couch and we preview like a panel, the show we're watching, is great for the boyfriend because they actually have a panel up there doing that. I told Shawn yesterday, he needed to be the American on the panel. I would love to be on the panel. I wouldn't understand anybody else on It's like the ear transplant. What I hear the same bad voice over. ⁓ I don't know what they're going to give you. might be words, be. Roboty, AI. ⁓ no, thank you. But yeah, we're thinking about doing that. We're thinking about doing that. And it will be a separate channel and we'll just see how that goes. But we have to just do it. Do it and do it and do as with anything. just get right. Let get good. Where did you go? 111 we're all over the place. ⁓ You know, it's odd numbers. So it's an odd show. It's an odd show. Cool. ⁓ my God, that could be the title. The odd show. It's an odd show. In other news, the Tampa International Airport came into some very contested information or media coverage this past week. When they posted on their Instagram that pajamas were effectively banned at the Tampa International Airport. This coincides with their previous band of Crocs. ⁓ They're just joking, obviously. And the media has really taken this and some, not so much media. I think the social media world has taken this. It has really turned it into something that just isn't real. But I don't think Tampa international hates it because it's drawing attention to our airport, but they haven't really banned pajamas or Crocs. really like to, what is, they like to troll people on social media. They like to troll a lot. And if you follow them on social media, they put up different memes and jokes all the time. That's because it's a fun airport. I freaking love their social media team. Whoever is on that team at Temperate National deserves an applause. They also have Phobie the Flamingo and they're always doing some kind of ⁓ jokes with her. It's just funny. Phobie the Flamingo. What did I say? That's a phoby. I didn't even hear you say that. But the fact that you said it. Thanks for auto correct. I was trying to find the man who is the. I got that. Is it Shawn Duffy? Yes. Transportation. So, well, ⁓ is separate. He looks different than the man I've seen on TV. I don't know. I got this from Gemini. ⁓ what we're saying like so Tampa International did this. I got a lot of coverage, a lot of heat, but I think it also fends or feeds off of. ⁓ the transportation secretary previously, I think it was in January urged air travelers to quote dress with some respect and quote, avoid wearing pajamas or slippers to the airport aiming to boost civility during travel as part of the quote golden age of travel and quote incentive. He suggests that dressing better improves passenger behavior and reduces incidents. So the Tampa International, obviously, I think is like a joke off of that. But it's funny that the media picked it up. And some people are thinking this is so serious. It's crazy to me that you would think an airport would do this because the amount of people that are wearing pajamas to get on flights is astounding. people aren't just going one people ain't gonna know about it. until they get there. And then what you gonna make them turn around and go home and change? Like, no, that's not happening. You can go into our gift shop and purchase clothing. And I don't know, people just learn to take a joke. Like, it was funny. I love it. I love it. First of all, I love Tampa International in general. I think we both do. It is the easiest, simplest yet effective airport. ever been to in my life. And that's before they even did renovations. Right. That's even more of a back of the day when we both worked there because we both worked at. did. Best job I've ever had. Really? Yes. Hand style. Really? Yes. I fucking love working at the airport. I love that for you. I feel like I've told you this before. back when we both worked at Tame International, it wasn't not that it wasn't great. It was It was still good. It was just an older airport. It was just an older airport. mean, Tampa airport is old. But they have slowly made renovations over the years. So now when I walk in there, I was like, this place don't look nothing like it used to look when I was working here. But I just love that it's a red side of blue side. Arrivals departures. Very simple. TSA is on each air side. So it's not like one massive. conga line of security like it is at places like Orlando International. 1971 is when they open. But yeah, I fucking love Tampa International. Love it. And lucky us, we have barely flown out of it when we flown international because that is one thing Tampa is slightly lacking is international accessibility. Now it's it's getting it's gotten way better. Like we got two flights to London now. flight to Zurich, go to Amsterdam. So there's quite a few international flights now. And I think once they reopen the new terminal that they're building, which is old airside D that was torn down, is now being rebuilt. I feel like once that opens, it's gonna lead to, supposed to be the international terminal, right? Correct. So, or have more international gates. I just, I don't, it is anchored by Delta. I hate that we have to drive to our line. catch a cheaper flight because the international flights out of Orlando are cheaper. Yeah. And I think it's because there's just a bit more competition. Yeah. And that's why it happens. But I would always choose to fly to Tampa because it's so fucking easy. Like when I flew to Puerto Rico and you came and picked me up, they have an area with like, if you have no bags, you just go there and you just avoid all the baggage claim. It's just so effective to get through. How the hell did we get here? dressing up. I just like stop first Bob. That was the rant I had the other day I couldn't even think of right now. Was like it feeds off of this. Like I think it's hilarious to have internationals doing this. They've done it again with with Crocs and it's just funny ⁓ and it draws attention which I think is great. I thought you were talking about the dressing up on the plane. are we dressing up? Yeah that's where I was headed. ⁓ That's where I headed. ⁓ but ain't nobody gonna tell me what the hell to wear on a fucking plane. Just not, you're not going to do it. I just want to be comfortable. And I don't care what anybody else is wearing it as long as you aren't funky and you ain't bothering nobody. ⁓ Be clean and don't be exposed. Don't get on a plane musty and stank. Yeah. Like the whole dress up it's like the golden age of travel is over. It's been over. ⁓ You crammed us in here like sardines. You made us pay a base fare. You made us buy a seat. You made us buy a bag. And now we may or may not get a beverage for free on this point. Yeah. You're not getting the things that you used to get back in the day. The golden age, right? You were getting full meals on board with like real plates and like... They were serving turkey dinners. Right. Like you were getting three course meals on these flights. Yeah, it was. ⁓ it was an experience, which is why people dress up. Right. It's not an experience anymore. Flying now is just a pain in the ass. Flying now is a pain in the ass and is more expensive because now we have found a way to monopolize on seats. Right. So now you have economy, which everybody was used to before. was first class and fucking economy. They had a little curtain. They would pull it and they'd be like, y'all broke bitches stay back here. The rich bitches stay up here. Don't cross the line. And that's how it was. But now we have premium economy. have- Not even that. It's base economy. Basic economy. Then there's like- Upper economy. And then there's like flex economy. All that is the same fucking It's still low economy. But you know, maybe one gives you a bag, the other one lets you change the fare. One gives you a little bit more leg room. No, not even that. That's premium economy, baby. It's still a car. No, but I'm just talking about basic economy. Now you move into premium economy. It's like, ⁓ your seat's a little bit bigger. Instead of getting ⁓ plastic forks, you'll get biodegradable for I don't know. It's just the golden age of travel is over and I'm not dressing up to travel. I don't wear pajamas to travel. I don't wear slippers because I have a phobia of wearing slippers outside or sandals. I don't know why it just grosses me out, but your foot just be dragging sometimes on gross anyways. ⁓ but you know, I'm just going to wear my shorts and my shirt. I'm not dressing up. I'm not putting on a suit. I'm not putting on dress shoes to get into a seat that somebody is probably going to have their arm into my f****g side. And then you may or may not give me half a soda. me about half a soda and a mini can. And a mini can. Now we'll say JetBlue gives you the whole can. Now JetBlue got that on lock. I'm mad that they switched from Coke to Pepsi, but you know, it is what it is. It is what it is. So to all of y'all, ain't dressing up to go flying. I'm sorry. Thank you for your rant on. I'm sure everybody else said like, do you dress up to fly? Like. Do you? I don't dress up to fly. I fly comfortably. I do like to have a nice outfit at the airport, but it is a comfortable outfit. Right. I'm going to wear my comfiest shorts. Because I do sometimes think that going on flights, I do see people, some people you could tell care about what they're wearing to be on their flight, but still they look comfortable. And then some people don't give a fuck about what they're wearing. They're like, we just got up. It's like they literally rolled out of bed. It was like, bitch, I'm here. We booked this flight. We knew we were going to party yesterday and we here just like we had. And I'm just here. I'm just here. I gotta go home. I gotta go home. It was a weekend trip. I'm wearing my bonnet and everything. Girl, I won't wear my bonnet outside either. But yeah, I'm not dressing up. It's just also like if there's an emergency, if you're over here dressed up and shit like. You might be the one that prevents people from getting off that plane because your jacket got stuck in the seat. You know what I mean? It's. But anyways, do you dress up? Do you like traveling? I should say we love to travel. We just like the whole plane thing is just annoying. I love to travel. It is the thing about the plane is just figuring out what's the best flight to take. What is the cheapest flight I can take? ⁓ And then like what amenities do I get with that? Or if I'm just doing basic economy, it's just like, what is the best way for me to get from point A to point B without spending a bazooka amount of money? That reminds me of another thing. I guess this episode is about planes. When you trying to find the price of a plane ticket. And they make you go through the whole rigmarole. And you got to put all your name, your birthday, your passport, your driver's license, your emergency contact. I'm like, I just want to see the price. Like, why can I do that at the beginning? And then you ask me for all my personal information. like, here's a mock-up flight. Just tell me how many people, tell me what seats, and these are the price ranges for the seats. So what seat range would you like? Exactly. And then here's your baggage. This is how much baggage costs. And then just give me a Everybody is like the opposite of that. It is. It makes you go through so many hoops before you can get to the end and be like, ⁓ here's the full fare. I just want to the price. And now you've committed all my information. And also can I say, and I know that some people don't have this problem because you may be traveling by yourself. ⁓ But the price of seats on airplanes are also very annoying because it can range anywhere from a hundred and some dollars down to maybe twenty, fifteen dollars, depending on the airline. But the range is so big sometimes if we're trying to sit together. then that is something that we have to take into consideration. Or you know, you can run the risk of just letting the airline pick whatever seat, but then you may be stuck between a crying baby and grandma keys leaning on your shoulder. don't know. Lord have mercy. I would ask just be removed off the plane. Or like that one time when that guy was just resting his butt on my chair and it was just like, sir, sit down. I was just like, yeah, anyways. What else do want to talk about? This has been like 34 minutes ranting about airports and planes and cars. So really quickly, I had a outpatient surgery. ⁓ yes, you did have an outpatient surgery. A couple of weeks ago on my back. I had this bump on my back that has been there for years and I had seen a dermatologist about it. They told me not to worry about it. that it was just a cyst and if it's not bothering you, then eventually one day it'll go away or blah, blah, whatever the case may be. So I had one on my shoulder that popped up out of nowhere and that one got really bad. And I remember because when we went to Barcelona is when it was really X-in-a and I could not wear my backpack because it was pressing up against it. Eventually that one, burst on its own and did not love that experience. ⁓ And then the one on my back that has been there for years has started to act up and get painful. And I was like, let me go to the Derm. ⁓ Went, you know, they saw me, they charged me a hundred bucks. Doctors. They scheduled me for surgery. And we're gonna charge you something more. to the surgery. after well, I what I thought after insurance was 600 and some dollars for them to remove it and stitch me up and the whole nine yards and I was I I wasn't expecting it to be that much if I'm honest. mean, I didn't think I didn't know how much to expect. But I'm like this is specialty medicine. Yeah. Anyway, I should have known better. But anyway, everything went well. Manning took good care to change They say the success to a patient's recovery is the person that takes care of them after the surgery. Yeah, I had to let him know that when I was to get my stitches taken out, she ⁓ was very complimentary about the nurse practitioner. About the job that he had did of putting the bandages on.
