And they show him, all of a sudden, he's in a plane flying around California. And he wants to fly a 737. He starts going to scrapyards looking for abandoned 737s to fly passengers on a plane so he can act out this pilot communication bit that he's been talking about through the season. And I don't know. It just was one of those television series that after I watched it, I was so blown away by...
the extent to which he went to complete the payoff of this bit because you're like the whole time you're like why does he care about this like he apparently he's very interested in like airline crashes whatever but then by the end you're like what this whole thing was a setup to find out that he actually flew a plane in the finale of this show

Yes, I read an interview with him and an aviation reporter where the guy was like, so do you still transport 737s? And he was like, yeah, occasionally they'll text me and be like, can you be in China on this day? We need to get this plane across the ocean. And he'll go and it's him and one other person. It's an empty plane and like transport these huge 737s. Absolutely bonkers.

They show clips of him talking in the cockpit. So I think he is practicing what he preaches.

It's so much time commitment, too. I was talking to one of my friends who's trying to become a pilot this past weekend. And he's flown for the last five or six years on top of doing another job. And he still has over 1,000 hours he needs to complete before he's eligible to be hired by a commercial airline. It's just a massive time commitment.

And obviously, when you're learning and when you eventually get to fly on your own, the stakes are enormous. There were so many people on the rehearsal subreddit that I was reading that were like, well, on the bright side, when the finale aired, at least we all knew he survived because we probably would have heard about it if he had randomly died in a plane crash in the last two years.

There would have been a news story about it. So I guess we kind of knew the ending would be a happy one. But still, it's just absolutely crazy. There was also... some people, you can like research the FAA database. It's public of like who's registered to fly, I guess. And so fans of his had found that there was a pilot named Nathan Fielder who had gotten his license at some point.

So there was some hints along the way that like people were sort of onto this whole scheme, but I don't think anyone really expected the payoff to be what it was. And on top of that, like it's really not like a, A spoiler because the funny parts of the show are just the comedic bits, not necessarily like the narrative of the season.
