Hello. Say hi, Mel.

Mel: Hi.

Suzie : And you can go to Instagram. Tick tock. All at shermertoothpod. Hey, babes.

Mel: Hello, darling.

Suzie : How are you?

Mel: Fabulous.

Suzie : Fab.

Mel: Absolutely amazeballs.

Suzie : Mel and I have both been on a bit of a vacay. She was on. She was in the uk, the homeland. I was in somewhat of my own homeland on the west coast of Canada.

Mel: The west coast. The west coast. The non. The less. Well, the less snowy bit.

Suzie : Because I'm a west coast girl.

Mel: Yeah. Yeah. Kelly. Yeah, not quite, but yeah.

Suzie : It is actually really funny whenever I meet people in person here in Toronto because everyone's kind of rude.

Not that I actually find people that rude in Toronto. I feel like everyone just keeps themselves, which I understand.

But whenever I meet someone, they're like, you're not from here. And I'm like, well, I'm from, from like Edmonton.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : You know, Western Canada. And they're like, oh, yeah, totally. Like, totally see it. I'm like, people aren't that rude here. Maybe people. I don't know. I have no idea.

Mel: Christ alive.

Suzie : Exactly. And then you go to London and everyone's a nut job.

Mel: Oh, we're horrendously rude.

Suzie : You're rude. But then, remember that time we were in that pub and people, they just couldn't stop talking to us. They seem very nice, but they were also wasted.

Mel: Yeah, well, that's generally what happens in the uk. You drink and your inhibitions just then, they won't shut up.

Suzie : Yeah. I mean, I bring this up because we are talking about the Mile High Club in a sense. You know, Mel and I travel quite a bit. Mel travels so much.

And when you travel, I think a lot of people kind of get this, where obviously it's People from all over the world are in airports. Right. Literally all over the world.

So you go to an airport and you can meet. If you wanted to meet whoever you wanted to meet, if you're open to it. You wanted a little affair in the airport.

You want to go in the airport bathroom? You might. You could. You want to **** on the airplane? You might. You could.

Mel: It's not clean.

Suzie : Oh, I wouldn't do it, but I'm just saying it's a possibility. And you can even. I mean, if you don't want to, obviously have sex. You, you know, you talk to someone, you get their number.

You can do all these things. You're literally meeting someone.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : You go on a little airport date. There's a lot of bars in there.

Mel: That's true.

Suzie : Go for a little drink.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : Right. I've met quite a few people next to me just, like, sitting at the bar at the airport.

Also, because I have one of those faces. I have like a.

Mel: That says talk to me.

Suzie : Yeah. Which I hate. But I don't know how to put a ***** face on.

Mel: Yes. Which I'm an expert at.

Suzie : Yeah, exactly.

Mel: I just like the whole resting ***** face. Don't come anywhere near me.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: Ice Queen look.

Suzie : Yeah. If you didn't know Mel, you'd think she was an absolute ******* *****. But I love that about you.

Mel: Quite nice.

Suzie : You're very nice. But I don't have one of those faces. I have a truly smiling face, which I don't. I can't put away. And people, like, people. I'm, you know, I'm walking in Toronto.

People will ask me for directions. I. There's. I'm with a group of. Whoever, however many strangers. People will come up to me and ask me directions or, like, whatever happens.

Right. People with a smiling face. People from the west coast of Canada will understand this problem.

Mel: Yeah. You're friendly. You're really horrible. And Canadians are so friendly to the rest of the universe.

Suzie : Right.

Mel: Like, they're so nice. They really are. And to me, Torontonians are so nice because I'm from London and everyone.

Suzie : They're nice for me, too. I don't understand this problem.

Mel: People, I guess, from the west coast or people from smaller kind of towns and cities in Canada are so friendly.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: I mean, it's just crazy.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: I've had, like, friends of mine, like, who've been in places in Canada who are not Canadian. Like, oh, my God, they're so nice.

Suzie : Well, but I mean, so you did have a. You do have a face, and you've had one for a while.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : And I suppose for your entire life, may I ask, since then, how long have you had this problem?

Mel: Yes, yes.

Suzie : But you've had, you've had people hit on you. People still hit on you.

Mel: Yeah, certain groups.

Suzie : Certain groups like who?

Mel: As you age, as a woman, it changes.

Suzie : Right.

Mel: So I.

Men sort of over the age of 65. I'm particularly successful in the sort of 80 year old age range and I say successful as if I'm dating. Like if you go to a party or something.

Take particularly like family parties. And of course I'm young to an 80 year old.

Suzie : Yes, you're very hot.

Mel: Hilarious. And then the accent in North America is a thing.

Suzie : Yeah, we love that.

Mel: And then lesbians seem to have quite a lot. So in my family it's a joke that I'm a lesbian icon. Stop.

Because I. It does happen to me quite a lot.

Suzie : That's so interesting because. So my mother, who is a little bit older than you, like my 20 years actually. But so she actually says that she also gets hit on by lesbians.

Yeah, but I also think what it is also, it's like you're also very petite though.

Mel: I think it's a feminine thing. It must be some kind of energy I give. I've no idea.

Suzie : See, my mom, I feel like could pass for a lesbian. She's very west coast, like granola.

Mel: Right.

Suzie : You know what I mean? Yeah, but.

Mel: And I've never even dabbled in lesbianism.

Suzie : You could though. You'd be like really hot lipstick lesbian.

Mel: I mean I could, but I've never. So it's kind of interesting to me and I didn't realize it for a very long time and as I got older I'd sort of be in situations and particularly my ex, my husband would be like, that woman's hitting on you.

And sometimes it's useful. Yeah.

Suzie : It is funny though. We can't.

Mel: It's funny.

Suzie : It's hard to tell if a woman is hitting on you.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : I've actually never been able to tell if a woman's hitting on me. And then they'll ask for my number or they'll ask me out and I'll.

Mel: Be like, oh yeah, it's the sort of giggling, I guess. But I think particularly in North America, it's the accent.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: It's the sort of ice queen.

Are you a member of the royal family? Like they're all very confused by the whole thing. Like the accent is a bit of a thing, but yeah. So what we talking about?

Do People hit on me.

Suzie : So I only bring this up because I was obviously recently in the airport and I was coming back from Vancouver and if anyone has done the travel from like farmer to like Toronto, Vancouver, it's a ******* long flight.

It is across the country and Canada is a big *** country. Like, it is a far flight. So it's about five hours. And like, with that, right, like you just sat in the airport for two hours, you're setting on the plane waiting for them, you know, I literally was sitting on the plane for an hour because catering forgot to bring the food onto the plane.

And we had to wait an hour for catering to come from the kitchen to the plane. And they were giving us updates. And I was like, is anyone going to buy this ****** *** plain food?

Mel: Exactly.

Suzie : Is anyone? Like, how are we all stupid enough to not go buy a sandwich before we get on this ******* plane?

Mel: I know.

Suzie : So anyways. But I was just like, okay, whatever. So obvious. Big long travel day. And I had my little dog with me, little Mowgli. And so it's even more exhausting because I have all these bags with me, these extra bags, because Mowgli has a bag, I have a bag.

He also has a purse, little bag. I, you know, it's a lot. And so I'm exhausted. I look like absolute ****. And I'm. I take pride usually for looking good in the airport.

Subjectively, right?

Mel: You always look good.

Suzie : Well, I try to look good in the airport because one, you never know who you're going to meet.

Mel: You never know.

Suzie : And, uh, you can meet the love of your life in the airport. You could meet your next job in the airport.

Mel: Anything.

Suzie : You could. Literally, like, there's people from all over the world, as we just said. So I try to look somewhat nice and presentable.

I say, in my opinion about myself, I didn't think I looked that nice yesterday.

Mel: I was feeling it.

Suzie : I was not feeling it. My eyes were super puffy. I was just like exhausted, you know, I was just like ready for like no one to talk to me. So I thought I had a ***** face.

Oh, I was not the professional that you are in this. I thought I had a ***** face on.

It was literally the end of my flight. I'm waiting for my baggage. And it was taking a while. Like, for whatever reason, Air Canada couldn't get their **** together. So I'm waiting for my baggage with Mowgli.

And having Mowgli is also a problem because Mowgli is so freaking cute and people want to talk to me and Pet me and pet me.

Mel: Pet you?

Suzie : Pet me. Makes sure they do pet Mowgli. And so it's kind of annoying because I have to talk to them. They want to know about the dog and they're like, where is it coming from?

Like. Cause he's an airport. You don't see a lot of dogs in the airport. And so whatever. I'm like ******* talking to all these people. And so this one guy comes up to me, he like asks me to watch his bag, which I do.

And I'm a nice person and I watch this person's bag and he's doing to do something, comes back, tries to start the conversation, talking Mowgli. And like, he's a.

He's a cute guy,

right? Like, he's not horrible looking.

Not my type. He's a bit kind of like, it's hard to describe. Like, it's just not my type. And like, he's probably like my age, about maybe a little. Maybe like 32,

maybe a little older, you know. And you know, he's. He's from a small town, it seems like in Ontario, so. Nice, right?

Mel: Very nice.

Suzie : Nice.

He was coming back from a skiing trip. I don't ski, okay. I'm not a sporty person. I'm not a sporty girl, okay? I just, I'm an apres girl. That's my whole thing.

Like, I don't have any interest in that. And so, you know, we're talking, we're talking. I'm just like. And I know he is trying to.

Mel: He's getting to that.

Suzie : He's getting. You could, you can feel it, you know, ladies. And I mean, I'm gonna have to reject this guy at the end of the day because one, I feel like ****.

I feel like, don't ******* talk to me. You know what I mean? Like, don't hit on me when I. I just.

Mel: But he doesn't know that.

Suzie : I know it's 10pm though. You know, it's 10pm in the airport where we're all exhausted, all coming off flights.

Mel: But. But how? So two questions here. How did you reject him? Did you say you had a boyfriend?

Suzie : Well, so I did. So at the end of the interaction, I, I was like. And I see my bag coming through the carousel and go up, grab my bag with my little dog and I'm like, okay, it was nice chatting with.

Mel: You, blah, blah, blah, blah, see you later.

Suzie : And he's like, oh, well, you know, can I get your. Can I get your number? And I'm like,

no, sorry, I have A boyfriend. And I mean. Yes, that is a lie. Yes. Okay, that is a lie. I don't have a boyfriend. And he's like, oh, is it a serious boyfriend or something like that?

And I was like, oh, yeah, it's kind of serious. Like, what kind of a question is that?

Mel: Pain?

Suzie : I. I'm like. I'm like, no, I'm sorry. And he's like, are you sure you don't want. Just. Just have. Have my number? And I'm like, wow. No, Like, I'm good. Like, thanks so much.

And I'm just like, you know, getting my **** out, you know,

so. Not. Not the best.

But here's. It's also, like, credit what I credit to him for trying. And I usually do say that to guys if I reject him. I'm like, but thank you so much for.

And I think I did say that, but thanks anyway. I don't know. But, like, I usually. To guys, I'll be like, thanks so much. Like, I really appreciate that. I'm sure the next girl will really appreciate that too.

Whatever. You know, just to make them feel like it's not you. It is me. Like, I. I'm just not interested.

Mel: It's not the right situation.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : But if the guy was hotter.

Mel: You wore my type, you might have said yes.

Suzie : I might have said yes. Yeah.

Mel: Yeah. I mean, I think traveling is just one of those things. You. I think a lot of people, people who travel a lot, it's quite a lonely thing. It's quite a lonely.

Suzie : Sure. Yeah.

Mel: It's very odd. And you're in all these circumstances and situations. That's not your life.

So you meet people and maybe you have a bit more courage to talk to people.

Suzie : Yeah, you're all going through the kind of same situation. Your fights are all delayed, and you're kind of going through these traumas together, and. Well, I think that paying $10 for a water bottle.

Mel: Yeah. I mean, I've done a lot of traveling on my own.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: I've done a lot of transatlantic traveling with two small children. That's so exhausting, which is like. Like, it's crazy, right? Completely. I see these mothers and I think, oh, God, it's all trauma coming back.

Yeah, it really is. And sleep and they, you know, all sorts of things happen. And all sorts of things have happened to me. And I think that if you travel a lot, it just.

Everything happens to you. You meet the craziest people, you lose your luggage, your kid vomits on you. Oh, my God, one of my kids has pooed on me.

Suzie : No. While traveling.

Mel: Yeah. While very sensibly wearing white pants.

Suzie : No, you don't wear white pants. Traveling. Bel.

Mel: It was a summer and. And then I got. We got stuck and I didn't have any other.

Suzie : No.

Mel: Yeah. Because I didn't have my luggage. So that was fun. Anyway. But I have so many stories.

Suzie : Lessons learned. Yeah.

Mel: Oh, yeah. Learned so many lessons over the years. But I think. And the other thing is when I travel.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: I don't want to talk to anyone a hundred percent. I have my like, tablet. I have all my shows downloaded and I only have shows on the side.

Suzie : And you have your headphones in.

Mel: I have my headphones, yes. I've got my books, I've got my ****. I don't want to talk to you. Yeah. And I think I'll probably give that off.

Suzie : Well, so. Okay. So. Okay. It's funny because two other interactions I had like this for this trip. And so the first one before I got on the plane, I got a sandwich because I always like to do that just because I usually hate plane.

Mel: Food and I will never.

Suzie : So I got something. Exactly. And so I'm in line to like pay whatever. And there's a guy behind me and he has like a Air Canada voucher for whatever reason. And he's like, oh, do you want to use this?

And I'll just get a smoothie and whatever you can. And I'm like, oh, it's like so nice. Like it's for like 20 bucks or something. And I'm like, that's so nice.

And then so he did it. So he pretty much like bought my sandwich for me, which was very nice.

Again, this guy is not my type, but. And I didn't ask for this interaction,

like. And so obviously I'm like thanking him. We're both like having to ******* wait. We're all both on the same flight too,

so whatever. So that guy was nice. And we also have to like have a chat at the end of ******* baggage carousel thing. I didn't get to the point where like I was rejecting him, thank God.

And have to do two in one night. It's horrible when the has to happen. But then I also had this woman sitting next to me who's a very nice woman, she's probably about your age.

She was talking to her daughter on the phone on the like before we like flew off.

Her daughter was having drama. But I was having my headphones in. I was watching the in flight entertainment as we do and she's talking to me and I'm like, babe.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : Is it just the face? We don't have to practice.

Mel: I'm just. I think it might be. And you're like, your eyes are very smiley. The eyes.

Suzie : The smiley eyes.

Mel: Very smiley. I have that. I just. Yeah. I don't know. I think, yeah. It's your demeanor. I don't even realize I'm doing it.

Suzie : And the thing is, like, I usually enjoy a stranger conversation.

Mel: Sometimes they can be fun, but I often find they go on too long.

Suzie : It just like now. Exactly like this.

Mel: Good. Now I want to go back.

And I'm actually always very happy if I get on a flight and it's like an older la. Like. Or it's like somebody who's clearly not gonna talk to you.

Suzie : Clearly they speak a different language.

Mel: So I had that on the flight home from. This is a couple of months ago. I was going from London to Toronto and this older woman, much older, who was clearly terrified of flying.

Suzie : Oh, no.

Mel: And she was speaking to her sound. It seemed like it was speaking to her son or something or I don't know what she said her name. And she was speaking a language I didn't recognize.

I was like, right, yeah. And then she didn't talk to me the whole thing. I was like, fantastic. And she was like hugging her handbag. I was like, great.

Suzie : Yeah, no problem.

Mel: Great.

Suzie : She's having together.

Mel: Great.

Suzie : Oh, my gosh.

Mel: But some people just can't help stuff.

Suzie : I know.

Mel: It's like, no. And they just. They get very. I think they're. People also get very excited when they're traveling.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: And this sounds, you know,

the problem. Like anything when you do it a lot, it is not exciting. And travel when you do it a lot, even if you travel in a better area of the plane is still not fun.

Suzie : And you just try to make it the best you can.

Mel: Oh, yeah, Right.

Suzie : And I do love to travel. Like, I love just like being calm in the airport before the flight. You feel good, everything's fine. Cause I've never had a really bad flight.

Like, I've never had. You know, we just watched that plane come into Pearson literally upside down. That's never happened to me, thankfully.

Mel: Well, once I was on a plane, one of the engines caught fire.

Suzie : Oh, my God. What did that do? Well, did you like just an emergency landing?

Mel: Yeah, yeah. So I was going from Geneva to London.

Suzie : Right.

Mel: And as we were coming.

Suzie : That's a quick flight, right?

Mel: Yeah, it's quick. It's like, what is it, an hour and a bit or whatever.

And we were coming. We Were over Paris. And of course, Switzerland isn't in the European Union. And at the time, Britain was and France was. And that does create problems of where you can land.

And I was on a British Airways flight and British Airways captain,

hello. Everyone is. Everything's fine. Just a little bit of a problem.

Currently only have one engine, but it'll be fine. Like, very British.

Suzie : Oh, my God.

Mel: And everyone's, like, looking out the window and just. Oh, not. And he literally said not to alarm anyone, but we will have to. There will be an emergency landing in Paris.

I know that isn't your final destination. And you may see a few ambulances and police cars or whatever, but don't be alarmed.

And obviously happened. And landed. And you know, you know, these. These kind of commercial. There's a backup whatever. And yeah, of course, it's not like the end of the world, but it's a bit like, holy ****.

And then all these businessmen get off the plane and they complain about, I better be on business class on the.

Suzie : And you're like, you're lucky that you're ******* alive, dude.

Mel: Just get on a plane to get home.

Suzie : You're literally 10,000ft in the air.

Mel: People are such ********.

Suzie : Oh, my God.

Mel: Quite a few people moaning about it and.

Cause I was in the night bit of the plane, let's put it that way. And then we had obviously got shoved onto another plane and had to go into the not nut.

So you got whatever seat you got. And all these people are like, this is outrageous. And blah, blah, blah. And you're like, are you insane? Like, and from Paris to London is like, nothing.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: It's like, who gives a ****? Just get on the plane and get out of Dodge. Like, shut up.

But, yeah, and also. Yeah, but when you travel a lot, lots. ****. I've lost my luggage everywhere.

All sorts of things happen. Like broken suitcases, stuff's got stolen. I remember once because I've got two nationalities. And so I'm British and Canadian. So's my children, so's Max. And he once forgot.

I think it was me. I think it was him. He put one of his passports in, like, a small suitcase. Oh, no. And it kind of went down the hole.

We had the other one, so it didn't matter.

Suzie : Oh, okay.

Mel: And we were in the European Union. And he's like, oh, ****. Blah, blah, blah. Got to the other end, the passport was gone because somebody had stolen it.

Suzie : Oh, my God.

Mel: And then it makes you realize, do go through your stuff.

Suzie : Oh, yeah, yeah.

Mel: And I'm very careful What? I pack in my luggage, everyone. No expensive designer handbags in the luggage. Yeah, like be care. No jewelry, no nothing.

Suzie : Well, don't make it obvious. Like these people who have obvious luggage that you're putting underneath.

Mel: No, illusions are luggage. Stupid and nothing. You could basically, if you lost it, you wouldn't be like really upset.

Suzie : Oh my God.

Mel: Because it can get lost and they'll have to give you, you know, compensation, but you could lose it. Yeah, I've lost all sorts of.

Suzie : That's sad.

Mel: So I don't put anything that I'm too worried about.

Suzie : Those are Mel's travel tips. I like that actually.

Mel: Yeah. But yeah, I mean, nothing to do with dating.

Suzie : No. That's okay though. Like it's hard. It's hard getting hit on at the.

Mel: Airport if I. Yeah, I mean, I guess it is, but it's like what? We've talked so much about dating in our podcast and that's the crazy thing is that everyone is complaining about not meeting people.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: But then when people. But that's the problem is people hit on.

Suzie : But that's the problem in the wrong circumstance.

Mel: It's like, I'm not dressed for this. I'm not feeling it.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: I'm feeling like I need to have a shower or I'm tired or whatever it is.

Suzie : You have a five hour flight and.

Mel: You don't feel fresh.

Suzie : Oh my God, do I feel the least? I was like, this is not good. Okay.

Mel: But that's not what he's saying. So imagine he saw the beauty. He did.

Suzie : Oh, maybe I should have gave him my number.

Mel: Which isn't hard. And so imagine if you got dressed up, what he would see. I mean, I think this gentleman deserves a medal that he gave. He kept going for it.

Suzie : I did tell him the name of our podcast. So I was like, I'm really.

Mel: I hope you're listening.

Suzie : Well, yeah. Yeah. If he is listening. Thank you for hitting on me. I don't have a boyfriend, but I wasn't interested. But the next girl.

Mel: But it wasn't the right setup.

Suzie : It absolutely was not. And trust me, babes, we would have never gotten together. You're a ski guy and I'm just not. I'm an apres girl. We would never work out.

Mel: She's not an outdoorsy type.

Suzie : No.

Mel: Which I fully understand because I did like skiing in the day, but I am as non outdoorsy as they come.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: I've never slept in a tent and I never will.

Suzie : Good for you.

Mel: Till the day I die. Yeah.

Suzie : Sometimes your parents make you do that. And you don't want. Have a choice.

Mel: Yeah. Not if you're from London. If you're from, you know, Edmonton, maybe they make you.

Suzie : Of course they make you weird. And I went to camp. Camp.

Mel: So yeah, no, it's a lot. No, yeah, I mean, it's probably a good skill.

Suzie : Now she's an Outbreak girl.

Mel: Yes.

Suzie : Now you'll meet us at the bottom of the hill with a bottle of champagne.

Mel: Absolutely.

Suzie : That's how we work.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : Which is fine.

Mel: You've got to know who you are, Susie.

Suzie : So if you're okay with that, my number is. No, I'm just kidding.

Mel: If you're in the. Susie's in the right vibe, in the right situation.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: And you're her type and that's.

Suzie : But that's it. Right?

Mel: But I mean there's no point. I mean you can.

Suzie : I know, there's just an energy. There's an energy.

Mel: People are going to come at us in the comments. I know. And men are going to go, oh.

And you're like, fair enough. However, if he's not your type, what.

Suzie : Am I going to do?

Mel: What is the point of wasting each other's time?

Suzie : Exactly.

Mel: You're wasting each other's time. But I do think kudos for him, for, for actually in real life going up to somebody. And maybe that's the thing about traveling. It's not work, so you're not going to be sued.

It's not like a bar. So you're like, oh my God, I'm not sure. It's like a normal non confrontational environment. So maybe that's it.

Suzie : Like you most likely will never see this person again.

Mel: Yes.

Suzie : You might as well try, which is amazing.

Mel: So you might as well try. And I think like people have conversations with you on planes because you are stuck.

Suzie : And I'm gonna be honest, like when I'm sitting on a plane, whether it's business or just economy, I'm hoping I'm gonna sit next to a hot person.

Mel: So you'd like a chat with a hot person?

Suzie : I'd love a chat with a hot person that I'm interested with. If that person doesn't have a significant.

Mel: Other, I do not want to chat with.

Suzie : You don't want to chat with any hot people?

Mel: No. What for? To what end, Susie?

Suzie : To set me up, Mel.

Mel: Oh, yes, I know. Maybe. Maybe I should do that. I should say, hello, I'm here for my friend.

Suzie : Exactly.

Mel: It's not me. Here's her picture.

Suzie : My dating matchmaker. On the Internet we have a little.

Mel: Bit of a conversation just to check if you're, you know, even better if.

Suzie : They hold a different country's passport.

Mel: Yeah, very handy.

Suzie : It is very handy.

Mel: I mean, unfortunately, I don't have. I have a British passport, not a European passport, so that's kind of a bit of a bummer. I can't really. It used to be good having a bridge passport.

Now it's.

Yeah,

but that's good.

Suzie : I mean, like. Yeah, I would probably consider the Mile Hot Club.

Mel: Would you?

Suzie : If they were hot enough.

Mel: But not in the toilet.

Suzie : Where else are you gonna do it, Mel? Where else are you gonna do it?

Mel: I have seen, as again, and I've mentioned this in other parts and as I've been on so many planes, I have seen a lot of dubious movement under blankets.

Suzie : If it's an overnight flight, the red eye.

Mel: I've seen a lot of that.

Suzie : Strangers or couples.

Mel: Dunno, dunno. And you know, if you're in the more roomy seats, spacious seats.

Suzie : Yeah, I like those ones.

Mel: I mean, still. But yeah, and the staff, the, you know, the stewards and stewardess, they will sort of turn a blind eye to a degree. But I mean, nowadays, if you're stuck in the toilet doing, you know, fraternizing.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: They will bang up because they're worried you're doing other things like trying to blow the plane up. So.

Suzie : Jesus Christ.

Mel: Yeah. You can't like be forever in the toilet. And I just like to say to everyone, planes are not clean places.

Suzie : No. They're ******* disgusting. Like, your seat is nasty.

Mel: Yeah. Even on a long haul flight where they have a little bit more of a cleaning situation.

Like if you've ever got flights, you think about, hmm, that wasn't very long, that cleaning, like, you know, I often get the flight from Toronto to London, overnight flight, and it lands and sort of turns and you're like, hmm, that didn't.

That wasn't so long. And then you look around and you're.

Suzie : Like, yeah, it's pretty ******* gross in here.

Mel: So then you look at the. You think about the toilet.

Suzie : Well, it's also because, like, flight attendants aren't professional cleaners.

Mel: No. No.

Suzie : But the crew that aren't the flight attendants, the one that are cleaning.

Mel: No.

Suzie : Really?

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : So fast.

Mel: No, they have a crew that comes in.

Suzie : I was like, I swear to God, it was the flight attendants. Why did the flight attendants ******* come in?

Mel: They'd be very upset if they thought.

Suzie : That's what I thought. And I was like, these poor flight attendants are the worst of all.

Mel: They have a Crew that comes in and does it.

Suzie : Okay.

Mel: And they're speedy because there's lots of them. And that's why they can clean it so quickly.

Suzie : Right.

Mel: But they're not like, wiping everything down with, like, you know.

Suzie : No. Your seat back, your headrest. Nasty.

Mel: Very nasty.

Suzie : Your tv, nasty.

Mel: Yeah, yeah.

Suzie : Just keep those white wipes with you.

Mel: Oh, I do do a two over. I have everything.

Suzie : Oh, I know you do.

Mel: Absolutely. And everyone laughs at me, but everyone uses it.

Suzie : Exactly. So always doing hand sanitizer on a flight.

Mel: Yeah, hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer wipes. And then sort of. I'm not like one of those nutcases. I just give it just a quick one, too.

Suzie : Just be a smart little traveler. So if there is a man who's trying to get a little lady's attention, if they're sitting beside you, oh, they could hand you. They could be like, oh, did you.

Mel: Want a wet one?

Suzie : A little wet wipe? Little wet one.

Mel: They would think he was a bit weird, wouldn't he?

Suzie : No, because I'd be like, yes, I actually do. And thank you so much for asking. And then you're like, wow, this guy has a **** together.

Mel: But men don't carry wet.

Suzie : That's what I'm saying. He's different.

Mel: I think it's. No.

Suzie : If a man. If you were sitting next to a guy and you forgot yours, let's just say.

Mel: But I wouldn't.

Suzie : But if you did, Mel. If you were out and you didn't realize you were out because your daughter took the last one and you didn't realize I have backups.

Mel: Wouldn't have.

Suzie : I'm just telling you, I make a ridiculous situation.

And a man handed you one, he's like, oh, I noticed you were out and you're like,

are we in love?

Mel: I would be. If I was your age and I was traveling and a young man, like a fit looking young man handed me a wet wipe.

Seriously question his masculinity.

Suzie : Pretty hot.

Mel: And I know you shouldn't say that, but.

Suzie : Yeah, okay, fine. Can we talk about tick. Can we take about. Can we.

What about, like, you know, like, how everyone is gross and like, maybe gum. Gum is great.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : The problem with gum, when you're, like, being like. When you're offering someone a piece of gum, you're like, does my breast smell? And that's where they're offering me the gum.

Mel: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess.

Suzie : But that's also a good way to talk to someone if you're sitting next to them on the plane.

Mel: Yeah, I Mean, I guess if you have some kind of candy and you're like, oh, would you like one? Maybe. Maybe not mints. Because then you are suggesting maybe some kind of fruity.

Suzie : Well, gum is good, though, because it helps with the ear popping, if that's what you get.

Mel: That's true, that's true.

Suzie : That's why a lot of people have gum. But I'm just saying it's like, oh, you had like. The amount of not hot people that I've sat next to on planes is unbelievable.

Mel: Yeah, they're generally not. I mean,

you know, even in, like, business. But. But. But this goes back to something we had a conversation a long time ago about, and I thought about it the other day.

You look at everyone, right?

Suzie : Yes. You don't.

Mel: I don't.

Suzie : It's so crazy to me. And it's even like I look at everyone. I scan for the hottest people in the room. No, scan.

Mel: Do you. Does you see that's almost male. Do you look at every person with possibility?

Suzie : Yeah, but, like, I would never look at someone who isn't a possibility.

Mel: Yeah, I know, but I mean, you're scanning everybody for a possibility.

Suzie : For a possibility.

Mel: Yeah. No, and that. It's a bit like if I'm walking down the street and this happens to me all the time, and I'm like, that's new. And it's. That's new. And it's been there actually for five years because it's of zero, zero interest to me.

I don't notice it.

Suzie : Oh, my God, that's so.

Mel: Because I'm not looking at it if I'm not interested. If I was walk down the street every day and there was a Harley Davidson store, I wouldn't ****** notice it. Because I don't.

I'm not interested in Harley Davidson's. I wouldn't notice it. I might one day go, oh, there's a Harley Davidson store. But I wouldn't actually make a point if it was like some kind of clothing or beauty store or.

Oh, yes, my beauty store. But I'd go in there,

but I wouldn't. I wouldn't notice it. But people.

No, not really.

Suzie : Yeah. And I'm not saying guys don't hit on people when you're flying, but just read the room, I think.

Mel: Yeah. But also, like, you're a young, attractive woman, so men are obviously looking at you, and the older you get, that obviously naturally drops off.

Suzie : Like, sometimes I see hot guys in the airport. Because sometimes there is a thing about people, like, thinking. Thinking that you're going to make the love of your life at an airport.

Mel: Oh, yeah. You know what I mean?

Suzie : Right? And, like, it is kind of a sexy, weird place because everyone's drinking at all times. You can literally get a massage. You could do all these weird ****. Like, you do anything if it's at a good enough airport.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : And you know, if. Yeah. I'm not saying don't hit. Like, I've seen a lot of guys where I'm like, I wish, like, I would come and hit on me.

Mel: Wow.

Suzie : But they never do.

Mel: But why didn't you? And then I'm.

Suzie : Because I'm nervous. Because I get nervous. I'm like, what if they don't like me? What if their wife is just in the bathroom?

Mel: Why don't you offer them a wet wife?

Suzie : They're gonna be like, okay, maybe that wasn't a good plan. That's, like, the least sexy thing.

Mel: Oh, thank you. Yeah.

Suzie : It's not the worst idea, but maybe it's not the best.

Mel: Airports are dirty.

Suzie : I feel like I would be like. I would accidentally get, like, two coffees, and I'd be like, oh, my God, this is crazy. Starbucks just gave me a free coffee.

Mel: You want one? Oh, my God. That would work.

Suzie : I would do that. Okay, you know what?

Mel: But he has to be fairly close. I mean, if the Starbucks is here and he's like, it's kind of.

Suzie : You're like, oh, I just saw your lucky day.

Mel: Yeah.

Suzie : The first person in a green shirt. I was going to get this coffee, too.

Mel: And I actually think even if the man was on the other side of the airport, the chances he would say yes are, like, 99.9% for sure. Even if he thought you were in that case, he'd be like, yeah, great.

Yeah.

Suzie : I would just go sit. I'd be like, oh, this is so weird. I'm just gonna sit down. But I have two coffees. One was. I was just. My lucky day.

Mel: I'm gonna. You should do that.

Suzie : Okay. Done. Done.

Mel: You have to film it. I will, because that is hilarious. And I'm betting I. I should bet money on this. It. It'll work. Yeah.

Suzie : They just. Yeah.

Mel: Come on. It's gonna work.

Suzie : Okay. The next time, I mean, you have.

Mel: To make sure he's on his own. No.

Suzie : Okay. This is. Okay, wait. This is like me and you when we go on a travel trip.

Mel: Yes.

Suzie : Our next one. This is what I'm doing.

Mel: There's a way to know he's on his own.

Suzie : It doesn't work if we're in the lounge Though, because you get free coffee.

Mel: That would look a little weird.

I've just come out with my glass of champagne.

You'll know he's alone because if the woman has left him to go to the loo or get some, all of.

Suzie : Her **** will be there.

Mel: Exactly.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: And the man doesn't have ****. He's just watching.

Suzie : He has a carry on.

Mel: Cause that's what happens to my husband. It's like he's looking after everyone's ****. He has one bag.

Suzie : Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mel: Like, recently we traveled with my two daughters, me and another girl. And like, we have 8,000 bags and he's got one.

That's so funny. He's got nothing.

And then when I travel with him, half of his suitcase is my stuff because he's like, I don't need anything. So you just have half.

Suzie : So that's so funny.

Mel: Yeah. So that's the way to tell if a man is with somebody in an airport. Everyone.

Suzie : Every lady or male.

Mel: So you could follow Susie's thing, like. Yeah. Oh, I just got a spare coffee.

Suzie : Oh, my God, this is so crazy. I just. Starbucks just made two coffees.

Mel: Somebody paid it for me.

Suzie : Do you want one? Yeah.

Mel: Done, Done.

Suzie : Or two sandwiches. You can do with anything. Yeah, you can do with anything.

Mel: Cookies?

Suzie : Totally. Just give me one for free.

Mel: Yeah. Would you like it?

Suzie : And then if they say no, then that's not the person for you because they don't like cookies.

Mel: 100.

Suzie : Well, so that's an easy.

Mel: They say no. They're not open.

Suzie : Exactly. Exactly.

Mel: And they're not adventurous.

Suzie : But then what do you do? Take the coffee back and you run away.

Mel: Go to the next guy. Because I guarantee they just watch you. Guarantee they don't care about the coffee. Go to the next guy.

Suzie : Yeah. Wow. Well, we want to know, guys, if you've had any luck with any of this stuff. Maybe it's. Maybe you've done this before.

Mel: Oh, I've seen tick tocks about people seeing people on airports and airports in planes and trying to chat them up. I saw one of this girls sitting and she.

The steward was. So. What do you call them in North America? Is it a steward attendant? Flight attendant. That's the word. And he was so hot. She was like the whole flight going, that is hot.

What? How do I ask him out and stuff? And she eventually. Well, it's probably all staged, but gave him a piece of paper and then they got out. Yeah. And they were probably always together anyway.

But, yeah, why not? I mean, let's face it. If you don't have. If you are single and you don't do things, you're never gonna meet anyone, are you? And the chances are in an airport, you're right.

Like you're gonna not see that person again. So if you make a total fool of yourself.

Suzie : Exactly. Which I love.

Mel: Who cares? And who cares?

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: It's a moment in your life, you'll forget about it.

Suzie : Done. It'll be a funny story.

Mel: And then you'll have two copies and.

Suzie : You can come on the pod and talk to us about it. We'll walk you through it, we'll talk you through it.

Mel: Yeah, I'd love to know anybody's stories.

Suzie : Yeah, exactly. I think airport stories are the most fun, the funniest, most ridiculous. Because everyone's exhausted, everyone's sleep deprived and like, just ugly for the most part. And yeah, it's a funny.

It's a funny situation.

Mel: People wear the.

Suzie : The most grubby **** I've ever seen in their pajamas.

Mel: I'm like, I'm like, you know, I know. Just chill. Their pajamas and like slides.

Suzie : It's very weird.

Mel: It's like, what do you call those shoes?

Suzie : But that's like a Gen Z thing, is it not?

Mel: Oh, yeah. I can't stand it. Also, men's with socks.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: I'm like, but, you know, unless it's.

Suzie : Your own private plane, you can wear the fck you want. But like, we're in a public area. Yeah, we're in a public place.

Mel: Buy some shoes.

Suzie : Respect.

Mel: But I always think, don't. There's another tip. In the summer, there's two tips if you're traveling in the summer.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: Never wear shorts.

Suzie : ****. **** no. People who wear shorts on planes are insane to me. I understand skirts and shorts.

Mel: Yeah. You do not want your legs touching the seat. And if the seats, you know, whether they're fabric or leather,

it's disgusting because it's dirty. And do not wear sandals.

Suzie : And don't wear white.

Mel: Yeah. Do not wear white. Trust me.

Suzie : Yeah. Sandals. When you have to take your shoes off for security and then you're walking barefoot.

Mel: But also you're in a dirty place. Your feet are going to get dirty if something like drops on your, like.

Suzie : Yeah.

Mel: It's not cool. Don't wear flip flops and sandals. White trousers, skirt, shorts. There you go. And always bring a sweater.

Suzie : Yes.

Mel: Or like a shawl or something because planes are really cold.

Suzie : Yeah. Mel's tips. Mel's travel tips of the day.

Mel: So many.

Suzie : God, we need to be sponsored by.

Mel: Travel a lot and always Bring spare underwear in your.

Suzie : Just in case a mile high club happens.

Mel: Well, yeah, but anything can happen. Always have spare socks.

Suzie : Anything could happen. You can **** your pants.

Mel: You could.

Well, when you've had all those coffees and cookies.

So stupid. No spare underwear and spare socks. Believe me, if you get laid out or something happens, your flight gets cancelled.

Suzie : Mel should have one or two times.

Mel: Yes. I have so many tips. Oh my God, I have so many tips and it's always been good.

Suzie : That's really funny. Yeah, well if you guys have any.

Mel: Tips but not tips that help you.

Suzie : Yeah. Mel is not sure about that. Mel's the face of on faces. She's like, don't talk to me, don't hit me. And I'm just sitting there like a Labrador.

Mel: Even if you're 80, don't come into. Happened to me the other day in the supermarket. It's always the 80 year old men which I'm to be honest, at my age, at 52, I'm grateful.

That's very sweet and that's very.

Suzie : That's rightful. Shut up.

Mel: But it's just funny.

Suzie : Oh my God, that's really funny. Well guys, love you so much. If you have any tips or tricks for us or audience for me, for me, it's for me at all.

We'd love to hear from you. If you've done anything stupid in the airport or a flight people must have done if you'd been through the mile high club. I want to know how the **** you did it because I need some tips.

Mel: How do you cover the toilets?

Suzie : How do you get on? It's such a small area without touching.

Mel: Something that has p or other stuff.

Suzie : It's not it.

Mel: That was a very good face.

Suzie : You like that to watch it on YouTube? Yeah. Okay. We love you guys.
