Adam is saying it has happened but never registered with him, Adam brings up his super condescending method of telling people they have experienced things they deny.
Adam is talking about how they’ve gotten away with not pulling their toiletries out while in TSA despite everyone else listening to the announcement and following the orders.

Adam is describing the super unsatisfying answers that Mike gives, Drew asks if Mike carries on his toiletries, Drew is asking if Mike checks his toiletry bag.
Adam is taking it back to sleep, he and Drew are in depth over his wife’s preference for a slow build wake up with multiple taps on the snooze button and how that could be seen as rude to her partner, Adam.

Adam is asking Gary about missing an alarm in Seattle too, he acknowledges that one too and tries to move on, Adam is telling him to “know thyself” and asks if it’s a wiring or discipline that allows him and August to do this and Gary is struggling to keep up on these two occasions, only two.
