Get your head us together and we're going to start to party. Start.
I'm ready to party.
The Elvista Ran after party.
So we've got a little travel coming up. Excited, we're going to hit the Caribbean with each other. Yea, all on business, mind you all on business.
But there is one little flight that we have to take. We have to take a puddle jumper. You know what a puddle jumper is, right, Danielle. Yeah, a little small plane, maybe a proper to you know. So we're gonna we have to take a little puddle jumper from one little island to another.
Okay, no big deal. So they asked us, you know, send us your passports, your weight and the weight of your bag you're gonna bring. Who lied on their weight? You haven't sent it in yet?
And it has to be an accurate weight?
And how am I weighing it? Scale?
But here my weight could fluctuate yeah, between five pounds now to the time we get on this puddle jumper. So should I overestimate and just go for the higher number?
Right?
Well, okay, I'll get to that in a second. Okay, I will tell you back when I was a lot heavier before I had my surgery a lot heavier.
I was the guy that would get on a podle jumper and they would make me move to the other side of the plane to.
I was the weight balance guy.
You explain why we have to do this, Elvis, because I know you.
Many reasons for fuel.
Also, they wanted even when you land, and I mean there's many reasons why they want the weight to be accurate, because I don't think they want to fill it.
Up with fuel. They want to only put enough in there that you need. Is that is that true? I think so the weight has something to do with that calculation.
And then you're right.
I think if there's three people on one side of the plane that weighs one hundred pounds each, and then one person's three hundred pounds, I think they put him on his order on the other side of the plane to balance the plane.
I'm fairly certain that's how it works.
I'm looking it up.
How does it where someone goes to the bathroom, there.
Is the bathroom in there. I think it's the I don't think there's a bathroom.
I think also it's landing and taking off is what it's most concerned about.
He's my question.
They want the weight of your luggage ahead of time. Until I pack my bag, I don't know how much it weighs.
Like, so just how about can you give us a weight and tell us to keep it under that.
Yeah, that's a good idea. I'm not the pilots, I don't know.
I know about Nate. You're the contact.
So you're you can estimate the bag of which the bags are anywhere from you know, twenty to forty pounds.
I said fifty.
That's a heavy bag.
That is a very bag bag.
All right, here says here on AI Overview, So you know it could be true. Airlines need your weight for safety and efficiency, ensuring the aircraft stays within its maximum takeoff weight for safe takeoff and landing, calculating fuel needs, determining range, and balancing the plane, especially smaller ones where every pound counts for performance, fuel costs, and emissions. They collect this data through periodic surveys, weighing passengers and bags to update e blahlah.
So that's it.
So okay, I don't take this as gospel, but I have a friend in the aviation industry that says when they ask people their weight, they always assume you.
Are at least ten pounds shy of real?
Really?
Wow?
Yeah, so I'm not Look, don't don't quote me on that, because we can all just go down to the fiery flash of flames.
But they do estimate that we're all full of crap.
Why don't they just have a scale right before you get.
On the plane, we all stop and look at each other's weight.
At least it's accurate.
And now what will they do if like it's over, they just take your bag and like throw it.
Can't come on, I'm not messing around my life. This is the one instance where I'm going to.
Well, guess what, no offense. You're on a plane full of people who are going to mess around with your life.
And I'm like, no, I'm gonna say, I'm more than I am to compensate for people who are trying to under compensate for them. Dol scary.
Okay, I'm gonna tell you.
He says, two hundred and seventy five pounds. Yeah, I'm seventy five.
No, but I want to buffer. I want to buffer. Someone wants how much did you buffer? Twenty five pounds?
Wow?
Wow?
Thank you. Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and give you a thank you, I'm gonna.
Say something so I think that in case it goes down, we all shouldn't be on it, So I'm not coming someone the show.
Just in case.
I would love them to have the actual scales right there before you walk up to the little jetway staircase, because when I get on it.
It'll say sorry one at a time. Please. Could You don't imagine.
If you if they tell it what you said you were and then you get on it and it goes liear liear lie.
That actually happened, and I it wasn't quite like that. But when I was bungee jumping, you have to tell them your weight, yeah, and everybody writes their weight, but it is very important that you are accurate about your weight because they do things with the cord based on how.
Much you weigh.
When you get to the top. There was a scale right there, so they had the paper of what you seguate and then they dress and they called every single person out who lied about it.
Why because they want you to take safety seriously. Yes, I know, but you know, then they just have it at the bottom. Just weigh me and write it down. You want to tell everyone how much I weigh. No time to be embarrassed.
Folks.
You are what you are because guess what if this thing goes down, we ain't gonna be anything in the future.
We'll be dead weight, right.
We won't be anything anymore.
Okay, Well, if someone in the industry would like to text us, let us know. Is it true that you all ways assume we're under estimating our weight?
I'm going to add I would listen to the person in front of me.
If they lied, I would increase my weight, like that's what Lion I can tell.
Well, if Scary gets on there says he's hold on, we submitted our weight to weight su Do you think I lied about my weight?
No, I don't think you did.
I think I gave you a nice hefty weight on there you did?
You did?
I said five pounds more for you? It would have been my guest, but it was only five pounds more. You can add five pounds if you want, Scary, I will be honest. That weight I gave you.
Was pre holiday weight.
Oh you, I might have to add ten then, but.
This could be fun nate. Why don't you guess how much you think I weigh? And Daniel ways, this is not the carnival.
Do I get a prize? If you don't guess, I'm going to say you're both one.
Oh Lord Fife, Yeah right she Actually you should sit on him, he's going down. Yeah, we should. You should sit on Nate.
Yeah.
If Nate wants to guess, he should lay down on his back.
And he turns sitting on him?
What does that do? What good is that? How is that going to make him guess better? You don't guess? Who knows what?
Wait?
Squishes internal organs?
What are you sitting on?
By the way, Okay, so, okay, I may if you want to add a few pounds to mine, Nate, feel free.
I'll take one for the team. God, he's gonna be this is going to be all right. All right, I'm not going if you don't hear from us later, you know what happened?
How long is this flight? So he's gonna be screaming for thirty minutes.
Get on the other side of the flight.
All right, we're gonna be fine. We're going to be fine.
Okay, we don't take our luggage. The Elvis DA Ran after party
