00:00wait a minute are you are you body shaming the united airlines customer service agent

00:20guys who are five foot seven mj i'm sorry but you know but listen but watching the video and
00:24watching the united guy step out from you know the counter you know listen you've got the whole
00:30united airlines logo you got the counters you got the scales and this guy is stepping out he's got
00:35his fists up yeah and he he's like doing like the boxing motions like he's getting ready for a fight
00:40you know what i mean like he looks like he's a trying to make moves like a professional fighter
00:45to start off have you you've seen the video right yes i mean it's really on the video is unbelievable
00:51and uh numerous places have uh published the video it showed up on on twitter and it here's the here's
01:01the the fact pattern here on the story turns out that the passenger is a former nfl player now andrew
01:08do we have the video link did you put the uh could you do you have the twitter uh put put the original
01:13unedited twitter video up on our website okay all right so for those that have not seen it
01:19we'll put the video up at mjmorningshow.com so you can watch the video we'll you don't have to go
01:25through a news story we'll put the original twitter video on mjmorningshow.com so you can find it and
01:33and i've been at that counter i i have literally been at newark liberty at that exact united counter
01:40where this happened look i i flew united out of uh newark liberty to to london uh over christmas time
01:48and i was i was at that i wasn't no no it was that was another flight i was on united it wasn't the
01:53london flight but i i was at that counter this guy might have checked me in i don't know do you remember
01:58a big midget with no neck and like a bodybuilder upper body and then like twigs for legs here's what
02:04we know about this guy here's we know about the passenger as well now the latest is that the united
02:11airlines employee has been fired so this is breaking news that the fired employee
02:17ended up canned because he got into a fight with an ex-nfl player now according to the daily mail
02:27they're saying that this is an exclusive daily mail's reporting that the united airlines employee
02:33has been fired for slapping the ex-nfl player brendan langley and then brendan langley punched
02:42the guy so hard he he got slammed into the ticket counter and something got knocked over he like
02:51falls over onto the baggage conveyor belt uh he falls and hits that then falls on the floor right in
02:58front of the baggage conveyor belt folks imagine you're at the airport and the guy with the little
03:03united airlines name tag and his little united airlines vest and his uniform he's fighting
03:09a passenger right in front of the ticket counter and that's what happened you know listen you you can
03:16see a lot of stuff in newark but i i never thought i'd see a united airlines employee in a fight with
03:22an actual physical fight with a passenger so we need to get word from this langley guy what
03:28happened to lead up to a fight well again the video starts halfway or i don't know if it's
03:34halfway exactly but the video starts in progress so the video was not capturing the very beginning
03:41of what went south of what caused the altercation between the united agent at the counter and the
03:48passenger but this is what we know daily mail's reporting that united has fired the employee
03:53and i guess the allegation is is that the united employees slapped the passenger first
03:59i don't know what the hell this guy was thinking if that's the case so the brawl happened at the
04:07united airlines bag drop desk at newark airport happened on thursday may 19th so this happened last
04:16thursday and the story just started coming out yesterday brandon langley is the passenger and he
04:25was filmed trading blows with this unnamed united airlines worker langley briefly played in the nfl
04:32before joining the calgary stampeders for one season last year so he played nfl i guess he didn't cut it in
04:40the nfl he ends up doing canadian football for a season and it says it says one season so i don't
04:45is he not playing canadian football anymore he must not be that good anyway he's a big man he could
04:53do some you know maybe boxing in his future now footage of the fight does not show how it began
04:58all of what has been released so far shows the worker throwing the first punch now apparently united
05:05fired the employee at the bag drop yesterday but he has not been charged by the port authority of new
05:12york and new jersey but langley was so the ex-nfl ex-canadian player this guy langley he was charged
05:20with i guess simple battery now langley i guess this is what started it all langley the passenger
05:29was accused of using a wheelchair to transport his luggage instead of one of those jacked up like six or
05:37eight dollar luggage carts you know the you know the luggage they're on that track and you got to
05:43put your credit card in oh yeah you know you got to find them and wheel them around yeah those are
05:48ridiculously priced i'm like even at tampa international i think it's six bucks i think it's
05:54even more at the new york airports i think it might be more i i needed one uh coming back on sunday
06:01from la guardia because i had to take these giant 50 pound duffels back uh for the kids you're leaving
06:07school for the year so i had my two carry-ons i had a wheelie i and that was the wheelie was uh
06:13completely stuffed with the kids crap i brought the wheelie up to new york empty all my stuff was in my
06:19peak design backpack for the weekend and i go back with a full wheelie which was empty coming up and then
06:24two humongous uh duffels that literally you could fit maybe two festers and six or eight shorty
06:32chains in i mean these these duffels are massive and they were 50 pounds a piece and luckily when i
06:39got dropped off at la guardia terminal d where they're doing construction and it's a mess and
06:43you can't get dropped off right in front of the door which is a pain in the ass uh luckily where
06:48my taxi dropped me off somebody had left one of those luggage carts so i didn't have to pay the
06:53whatever the fee is but i think the new york airports charge more than six what's the name
06:59of that thing there's a it's the there's a there's an actual name for that cart yeah it's a
07:04luggage trolley i mean no no no no no no there's a brand name for the company picture it yeah it's got
07:11the word cart cart yeah i don't know what the hell it is well so this guy apparently he didn't
07:16want to pay six bucks or eight bucks or whatever they charge at newark liberty for the baggage cart
07:20out of the machine so he found a wheelchair you know one of those little wheelchairs where those
07:25porters are wheeling around passengers and you'll see those you'll see those scattered around the
07:29airport so he grabs a wheelchair and rolls up his luggage to the united counter and i guess the united
07:35ticket agent or the bag drop agent didn't like that and that's what started the issue and can we all
07:42agree that it's just high tension area where you do the bag drop because you're worried you're going to
07:48miss your flight you're worried that they're going to charge you more because it's going to weigh too
07:53much so everybody's tensions are high regardless and then this added to it it's called a smart cart by
07:59the way that's that's it the smart cart that's yeah that's it that's the brand name of those carts
08:04that you got to pay money for and you know apparently the passenger pushes the wheelchair with his luggage
08:11on it and the bag drop guy united said sir this i'm speculating here the bag guy must have said
08:17hey sir you can't use a wheelchair to push your luggage and there must have been words back and
08:23forth and i don't know what the nfl ex-player said but that allegedly elicited the united bag drop guy
08:32to slap the passenger first and then that's when it got into a brawl and folks you got to see the video
08:39because the ex-nfl guy this langley dude he lands a shot on the guy he folds over like a little
08:48portable metal stand that whole thing gets knocked over then he gets he gets hurled back toward the
08:54conveyor belt behind the counter and then the united guy gets up and then he puts up his dukes again
09:00and then you can hear the nfl dude say something like oh you're coming back for more hey was was there
09:07any audio that you could pull could you was there anything like could you hear that you're coming
09:10back for more or is it so low that it won't print very well what what it was it was unintelligible
09:16all right i i thought i heard on that oh you want you want some more i think toward the end of the
09:22video after the united guy gets up uh after he was not enough isn't there enough security at these
09:29airports to not have to throw hands at a customer regardless of how much he's pissing you off you know i'll
09:34tell you what there was no security because the video that we have uh andrew how long was how long
09:42was the video the video that the the youtube not the youtube but well it's on youtube but the the
09:47original twitter video was that thing like a minute long do you do you remember how long it was by any
09:52chance it was about you know it was like less than a minute long all right but again clearly there was
10:00no uh port authority police or no security that was anywhere near this busy united uh check-in area
10:08and bag drop because this fight went on for some time and you never see any law enforcement show up
10:15at the scene i i love this listen to this the daily mail hey do you know they have this printed in the
10:22story do you know the united airlines worker in the video email jen smith at mail online.com
10:27so yeah they want to talk to them they're soliciting readers to let us know hey who's the united guy
10:33but united airlines has fired the worker for brawling with this passenger at newark liberty happened last
10:41thursday the video just started making the rounds yesterday and yeah i gotta be honest i've had
10:48unbelievably friendly folks at airline ticket counters and i've also had some really snarky uh nasty folks
10:57i've had i've had some rude ass people and usually you know what i've had rude ass united folks
11:03actually at oh my you know michelle would remember this we encountered a really nasty rude woman
11:10at united at newark liberty and keep in mind that we don't check much luggage we we hardly check luggage
11:18it's only when like the kids are coming back and forth from school and you know which will have
11:23some heavy duffels but i i for the most part when we travel we don't even need to go to the ticket
11:31counter however with international travel a lot of times you do so with domestic travel i almost never
11:40go to the counter just like sunday night bringing the kids duffels back from school i had to check in
11:46bags at delta at la guardia so i'm at the i'm at the counter but nine times out of ten or 90 percent
11:53of the time i am never at the counter i check in online i got my boarding pass on my phone i got my
11:58tsa pre-check uh hopefully the airport has clear with tsa pre-check and that's smooth sailing but i try
12:05to avoid the ticket counters at all costs however if you're traveling internationally they got to do the
12:10passport check you know the whole uh shebang so if you're traveling internationally you'll find
12:15yourself at the ticket counters yeah andrew no i've got a 10 second clip there for you if you
12:19want to try it all right is this the one where he says you want more is that it i could not hear that
12:23in the entire clip okay yeah because i i definitely heard it all right roll roll what you have in the
12:28united brawl go no you have it on the button oh you put it in here all right so all right here it is
12:32listen i i hear some a woman is yelling stop stop so you hear someone yelling yeah somewhere on the
12:47video see if you can listen toward the end and i'm pretty sure the passenger who just decked the united
12:54guy and he falls over that little uh stand like a wheelie like uh some kind of metal stand on wheels
13:01i think that gets knocked over when the guy gets pushed into it then he falls down right uh on the
13:07side of the conveyor belt and then the airport to release their security foot every inch of that
13:12place on surveillance oh they should absolutely you know what we need we really missed a great
13:16opportunity here some chumba wumba wait a sec do i do i know how to find this hold on i have no idea
13:27how to use this computer let me let me see and that's not i have no idea to use this thing
13:33exactly all right so that's the deal at newark liberty and of course the video is going viral
