Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Okay, Toronto Blue Jay's pitcher AnthonyBass. He's he's a major league baseball
player. He was not with hiswife when the wife and two kids were
traveling. He puts this on hisTwitter Sunday. The flight attendant at United
just made my twenty two week pregnantwife traveling with a five and a two
year old get on her hands andknees to pick up the popcorn mess made

(00:22):
by my youngest daughter? Are youkidding me? And the replies he got
were mostly like, well, who'ssupposed to clean that up, which he
replied back to the cleaning crew.I will add that his wife is Jesse
James Decker's sister. There to EricDecker, she's a country singer. So

(00:43):
here's my thing. I read allthe comments because mostly I'd say eighty five
percent the comments maybe ninety we're sayingduh, clean it up. And when
I'm with bo baby at a restaurant, I'm on my hands and knees on
the floor like cleaning it up becauseit is someone's job to clean the floor
and the table. However, it'snot their job to clean up my toddler's
mess. If we've got wipes andstuff, so I clean that up and

(01:06):
then I leave an extra tip becausetoddlers are a messy. I'd say that's
the impulse of most parents, isif your kid makes a mess, an
extra mass or something, you're like, oh, I'm sorry, I'll clean
that up. For So, ifI was in this position, what I'd
like to think I would do wouldbe I'd clean it up. But here,
and I know most people say,no, duck, But I try

(01:26):
to have compassion and I try tosee it from her side. She's high
risk, twenty two weeks pregnant,traveling alone with a toddler and a five
year old. And then, fromwhat I read she said happened, which
I don't know the truth. Theflight attendant said, pick every last bit
up of this right now. Yeah, And it wasn't towards the end of

(01:47):
the flight. It was towards thebeginning of the flight, which the flight
attendants gave them the popcorn, iswhat was said. So I'm thinking,
well, gosh, if you haveto clean up at the beginning of the
flight, you're just gonna be onyour hands and every five minutes. So
I'm thinking maybe she should have waitedto ask her to clean it up.
Nicely towards the end, or maybeshe was planning on it towards the end.

(02:07):
Well. And one part of thisthat they are saying, the flight
attendant told her because the popcorn wasin the aisle. This toddler is sitting
on the aisle seat of a twoseat row. There's only two seats.
The five years at the window,the toddler at the aisle, and the
popcorn was in the path, youknow, the aisle, and the flight

(02:27):
attendant said, the captain says,you have to clean that up because it's
a hazard. It's a safety hazard. Safety hazard? Was she joking?
What's the tone of the flight attendant. We don't know. There a boy.
You were in the service industry,working for her Higatt Hotels forever.
What's your take. I don't thinkyou should ever be made to feel like
you're quote a servant. Right atthe same time, though, it is

(02:51):
your responsibility to assess the situation that'sa pregnant woman. Never be disrespectful to
a pregnant woman. Never put herin a situation that you don't know what
her condition is, how she's feeling. I wouldn't say to Brooke when she
was nauseous, be like get downthere and do that, Like that would
be so horrible me to say that. So I feel that way, and

(03:14):
I understand that the flight attendant isprobably very frustrated, because I will tell
you, even though you, asa person's service industry, feel frustrated,
unfortunately, management is always going tosay the guest is always right, and
you're gonna get reprimanded. And itdoes get old, get it wears on
you. So I understand maybe whythe flight attendant, by the way,
but you can never disrespect a pregnantwoman. Well here and again, I

(03:36):
would put myself in this woman's position, and I would try to clean up.
Then I put myself in the flightattendant's position. If I saw a
mom alone, pregnant, struggling,yeah, I would probably just pick up
my popcorn. Sure, I'm curiousto know what the Canucks family thinks.
Whose side are you on? We'dlike you to call us and let us
know. Eight three three five sevenseven K and I X. Especially if

(03:57):
you're a flight attendant, you knowthat's a harder job than it's ever been.
I appreciate that. And so theyhave bad days too, And at
the end of the day, manone more popcorn kernel on the aisle will
be the thing that sets me offall right eight three three five seven seven
