Specifying a flight from Orlando was brilliant.

I went to orlando in 2009… for the launch of sts 119… from the cape but was aborted (future ref: SLS at the cape now has hydrogen insensiblities yet again)
but it was a valve problem then…
on my flight home I was put next to the exit door which had a blast of cold air (you would not believe) all they could do was give me a blanket but no sleep thank you…
thanks again virgin atlantic

That was a dreadful Herzog impersonation. Why didn’t they get the real thing?
That’s on YouTube Kids LOL
There are plenty of fine impersonations too, such as the aforementioned Yelp review
(by Mr Peanutbutter, who received Herzog’s congratulations, saying “That’s good stuff”) and
