TLDR: her take was "bacon is a spice." the host said this was something they changed it to before the interview, probably because some research team recommended it. When they originally booked the interview her take was supposed to be "I don't like to take my shoes off on airplanes."
Y'all take your shoes off on airplanes?
All the Asian airlines I’ve ridden give you slippers when you get on tje plane, because wearing your shoes on a long flight is bad for your blood flow and can exacerbate the swelling you’re already going to get from sitting for that long. Long story short, yes, and so should you.
As a public service and self sacrifice, I will never remove my shoes on a plane.
I feel that, for sure. I always make sure to shower right before leaving for the airport and wear loose fitting shoes to minimize sweat until I get on the plane. One time I even swapped socks mid flight just to be extra safe.
Well damn, I guess I never really take long enough flights for it but I suppose I would take my shoes off if I were flying like over night or something.
Yeah going across the oceans is when it’s really most important. It’s also important to get up and stretch and walk around every few hours too. My last flight home I got bumped to a different flight and got stuck in the middle seat for 14 hours, and so I didn’t really get up except to pee, and my feet hurt so bad afterwards, it was miserable. I usually just sleep 90% of the flight, wake up every few hours, wander around, brush my teeth, splash water on my face, do some light stretches in the aisle, and sit back down and go back to sleep. Get some funny looks, but it’s worth it to not feel like poo after.
think rich class seats, not the way we travel. when you have a little cubicle of your own, you probably do take off your shoes
I definitely have for overnight ones, yeah. I usually go and change socks in the bathroom to not stink
I mean I always wear slides to the airport, so taking those off isn't that much different from keeping them on. I wouldn't take off actual shoes though
