It's topic times.
Call eight hundred five five one to join it to the discussion with the breakfast club.
Warning everybody in stej Envy Charlamagne dea guide, we are the breakfast club. Now if he's just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one oh five to one. So obese passengers are complaining about airlines charging.
Them two tickets to fly on different airlines.
Now this is not every airline, but this is some of them, and some of the bigger passengers are complaining about this. So we're asking what are your thoughts? Eight hundred five A five one oh five one. Now, keep in mind forty one percent of Americans are obese.
So with that being such a large number, I think that they.
Should have a large number.
I think they should have an obese section. Now an ob section. I know you think, go even that's a fat section, But yes, a big section with the seats are bigger and you let's say you just have four seats on a plane or six seats on a plane that you keep for obese passengers. Now, if you don't sell them, then you can sell them to regular people. And then regular people.
I have a first class seat, it'll feel like a first class.
Seat, but you at least give them the option instead of you know, because you know, if you've been on a flight, like the seats are getting narrow and narrow, and there's no way somebody with that's big confitting those seats.
Also to that that number, that number is probably a little skewed because like, to be considered obasts, I think you have to be over two hundred pounds, But that don't necessarily mean.
Like you're fat.
You're fat, you know what I mean?
Like, you know, you just considered old beasts based off what you know the standards are. But I believe the airlines are doing overweight people of favor. Wow, you know what I'm saying, because if I was an overweight person, I personally would want to book two seats because I would want to be comfortable. Simple as that, Like the airline is not only looking out for the overweight people,
it's looking out for its other customers. Because y'all talking about how much it would cost for the heavy person to buy two seats, how would you feel if you spend all that money for a plane ticket and had to be uncomfortable the whole ride? Because you sitting next to somebody who clearly needed two seats, you know what I mean. So so one of two things can happen. I don't want the airlines to change the dynamics of
the plane. But you know, if you somebody is like overweight, like you know, three hundred, four hundred pounds, maybe you can get them, give them a discount on the second ticket.
Give them a discount.
See.
But the problem is this, right, you know, with inflation and interest rates high and people not making money, that's expensive, and flying right now is expensive. Before when you could get like a little two hundred dollar ticket to fifty ticket one hundred and twenty dollars ticket, that's not no more.
Now tickets is no less than four fifty, five hundred dollars.
Okay, charging their weight, that's the discount. If you four fifty, you gotta pay four fifty. But if you like three hundred for the second seat, you paid it three hundred. You should have to pay a dollar per pound for your second ticket. I think that's fair now, by the way, real quick, I said this. I said this, but I just got a text from the president of the Fat Lives Matter community. He says that we don't need a whole section, but if a second seat is needed, it
shouldn't be full price of a regular ticket. I said that before I even got that text from him, because we do have the president of the fat Lives Matter Committee that works here.
Yep, but you know he can't be on camera for other reasons and stuff. But you know warrant. Yeah, you'll see him soon. Yeah.
But my whole thing is to do a section. What's your name, bro?
Not a section?
Name roll talk to us.
Okay, So I used to work out the airline a little while better to be honest, I agree with y'all saying I don't think it should be a full seat, but it should be an extra up charge because getting them on the airline or the flight himself, my part used to be a process. You have to get an extension for the seatbel that took like two or three people to get them on. Like that extra seat is a tad bit. But there should be like an overcharged price or something like overweight bat.
I agree.
Now let me ask you a question, Roe, So you know, you know at plays they always keep two seats just in case there's a person with a wheelchair or handicap.
Right.
True.
Now, think about it, if there was an ob sex where it was just four seats that were a little bigger, that's only booked for big people. But if they don't sell it, then they just know that they could sell it to regular people. Kind of like the handicap seats. It could just be four seats on the plane which just a little bigger to help you know, O best people out.
Okay, so that's a good idea, right, so you have four you have you have just extra seats, right and if if if no beast person rides the plane and buys that extra seat, then it's just a regular seats, just a regularly.
I'm with that because everything everything, But.
To be honest, extra seats aren't even just for handicapped people. Those are for flight crewis like if they got somebody loading for one flight flying to the next city.
Oh yeah, you're right, but yeah, but so they use the handicap seats for other things, and that's that could be For the O B seats, it could be you know, it could be like the fat section of B section.
I don't see nothing wrong with that.
Everything calls extra on the plane. If your bag is overweight, you gotta pay extra. Correct, you know what I'm saying. If you got more than one carry on bag, you gotta pay extra for the carry on bag.
Can let you be the same thing when it comes your way.
If you're the way, you got pay.
If you got you a little.
Overweight, you gotta pay a little bit more because all you're doing is paying for another seat. You're just I wouldn't have them. I wouldn't charge them full price for another seat.
Okay, Hello, who's this Detroit? What's up? Talk to us?
Hey? So listen, man, I'm just saying. First off, I like how y'all had the theme stars playing in the back the TV things songs. Can y'all play dust tinils? For get that into rotation?

You heard that? We can report them? Where you at? Detroit?
Here?
Bro?
Detroit?
Yeah, we're all right, but bro, Hey, but yeah, man, I think they should have charge them definitely. Yeah, put put some tax on it. Because everything going up the world going up, everything costs more. We gotta pay for everything. Food costs extra. They know that, so gas gotta cost extra. The seat got to be extra. Right.
But we even talk about the fact that on these food tracks where a lot of people can't get healthy food, so they're eating these food food.

The guys their food traps like chicken figures are looking sex and he's trapping people like this a whole bunch of pies, you know what I'm saying. It's a whole bunch of pies in the net. As soon as you go get the pies, and that just covers you up, like man, cut it out, man.

Man?
I know if I just wanted to know with you like you're asking questions, ask that man the size of this No, I did not actually, but listen the thing about Griz once you did. What if I was Grizz, I would want to be comfortable. So I think that they should have half off for the second seat.
That's what I think.
Hello, who's this.
Hid and Charlomagne?
Good morning.
I'm gonna keep it anonymous because I got something ugly to say.
Okay, well, first of all, you are you a best man?
I am not?
Okay, I'm sorry, say what you got to say that?
I just want to say, if they want to, you know, complain about paying for two tickets, keep.
The fat at home.
Well that was a bit harsh. You didn't have to say fat ass. Okay, you can.
I mean that's what they are, ob.
Yeah, but it's the fat ass that makes it anyway, you know, it's gonna come to that door.
Right.
But because if you are a certain size and you don't want to pay, you know, the extra costs for the extra tickets, you're gonna have to find other means of transportation, right, Yeah, they might not be flying.
Hello. Who's this Hello? This is Darnell Darnell, Good morning, Darnell, Good morning, Good morning. Talk to us.
We're talking about obese passengers complaining that they're getting charged for two airline tickets now right right.
So, I believe personally that they should get charged forw airline tickets. I've personally been in situations because I've traveled a lot where I've been next to that morbidly obese passenger and it is extremely uncomfortable. If you pay, if you sit and you physically take up one point five seat, then yes, you should pay for three tickets.
With I've fence like it's not an emotional thing. It's not a physical bias thing. It's more or less about you know, being considerate for people next to you. And if you can't control your weight, or if you do have a physical problem, then the airlines to be cognizant of this and have their own section for these people that size. But being seen as how, I'm a noble sized male and I've been so uncomfortable next to that
really big mail or that really big female. I've been turned off on more than one occasion in different airlines, and not just Delta, for multiple airlines. They need to all come to the consensus that, hey, look, this person is making me uncomfortable because they're bigger than the average size of the seat.
I agree either that instead of flying commercial with so many people, gotta fly cargo.
What okay, private one?
You can't fly cargo one of the two, because I think the whole thing is we all can agree that, especially the older you get, it's not like airlines are the most comfortable, correct. I don't care whether you're sitting in first class, you know, economy, whatever it is. Airline seats just aren't the most comfortable. So if I was an obst person, I would want to buy a second seat just so I can be as comfortable as possible.
And I think that the only solution is the second ticket should literally be a dollar a pound. Oh my goodness, I'm serious, a lot.
If you can't afford it, Like you got to travel somewhere, you can't afford two tickets a dollar a pound.
So I bought my first ticket for whatever the regular price was. And if I'm obese and I need another seat, that could be like four hundred. That's better than six hundred, seven hundred or whatever the average ticket is.
And then you got to weigh yourself on the scale and see what it is a you know what I mean. Now you gotta get on the Luggae scale of way yourself on that scale.
It's better, I'm just trying. It's better than having to buy two full tickets at full price. Now now, now, O beast, people have anxiety. They're not gonna eat for a day to get on the flight for cheaper. They're gonna pee and poop before they Wearing themself like a box ain't gonna make much of a difference. If you that obites, it ain't gonna make that much of a difference.
You know what I'm saying. You gonna lose five pounds at the most.
Oh my goodness.
All right, well, when we come back, we got your room and report Nelly, he's up fifty million dollars.
We'll tell you why, so don't move it.
Hold on what salute?
Dog?
Guy Man, president of the Fat Lives Matter Community.

It's a compromise for us taking up yall arms face.
Oh so here they let you sleep on it.
That's what That's what I got. That's what the president of the Fat Lives Matter Community said to me. Just now, all right, all.
Right, well we come back, We got your room. Report it's the Breakfast Club.
