Once again YOUR Host of Hosts and Paragon of Virtue has returned to enlighten all whom may come in contact with these spoken words. Pope's gonnna stray away from the norm here as there's a very important story from a recent flight that Pope was on that I'd like to share with you all. So with that being said:

It's 12:30 when Pope got a text from a fellow traveler informing me that she'd be in the restaurant awaiting my arrival inside of the airport. When Pope arrives in the restaurant, he's informed that our flight has been delayed for 2 hours and to make himself comfortable. So, Pope and his fellow traveler take a seat and began to enjoy each others company, talk business, and grab a bite. Pope removes his shades momentarily at which time the female ask why Pope's eyes are so red. Pope informed her that he hadn't slept from the previous day up until the present and was just beat. She concurred, pointing out that Pope's words were running together.

Fast forward to the eventual boarding of the plane; Pope's tired and is just "dying" to get on board, if just for the purpose of possibly catching a 2 hour nap, and you know, after waiting 3 1/2 hours in the airport Pope didn't think that he was asking for too much. So we're boarding and Pope's struggling to get his roller bag into the above compartment. All of a sudden a gentleman about 3-4 passengers behind Pope yells, "Just move and let the rest of us sit down for crying out loud." Now, I will say this, Pope was already asleep...Ya feel me? Pope was on auto pilot which means that Elijah was captaining the ship at time of comment. So, I (Elijah) just ignored the man as I had already called the attendant for help. The guy sitting next to me in the aisle seat respond to the belligerent passenger and said, "No-No, sir we got this. Calm down." The flight attendant comes over to help me and suggested I remove something from the bag as he could see where it was getting stuck. The belligerent passenger yells again, "It makes no sense for him to hold the rest of us up. Just move so we can take our seat," to which the flight attendant responded, "Sir, I got this. This is my job, that's why I'm here. No one is being held up as the plane will not move until everyone is in their seat and secured." I asked the flight attendant to check the bag for me as I really just wanted to take my window seat and aim for some sleep. But Pope was really itching to break loose. Pope was tossing and turning trying to awake, but lil ole Lijah had to just gently rock Pope back to sleep. Finally I sit, the gentleman in the aisle seat sits, and that left the middle seat open. Then all of a sudden, while the belligerent passenger passes me, about 3 folks behind him, there's an 8 year old kid that sits right in the middle of myself and the other gentlemen. His moms tells him that their not sitting there and to c'mon to which the kids blows her off and says he's ok. She ask him again, to which he throws his hand up while never looking at her and says he's fine. The mom then looks at me and says, "I'm sorry, he's one of your biggest fans."

*Pope would've stopped right there as the moral of this story should be very clear at this point, but for those that may not follow, Pope will continue in an effort to shed light on what us entertainers deal with on a regular basis.* ~ PHS
