The friendly skies aren't always so friendly, as Shawn and G demonstrate in this laugh-out-loud episode packed with aviation's most bizarre recent incidents. From the passenger who physically dragged a flight attendant up the aisle to a flight attendant who conducted a "citizen's arrest" on a coworker over a stolen snack box, this episode takes listeners on a turbulent journey through airline absurdity.

The hosts can barely contain their astonishment when discussing a flight attendant discovered dancing naked in a business class lavatory, who was subsequently dressed in pajamas and seated in first class for the remainder of the flight. Equally baffling was the DoorDash driver who somehow bypassed airport security and ended up driving on the Chicago airport tarmac. As Shawn and G unpack these stories, they share what would happen if someone grabbed them by the collar (spoiler: it wouldn't end well) and the unwritten code among flight crews that "nobody likes a narc."

Between aviation anecdotes, Shawn recounts his cross-country adventure visiting nieces, complete with roller skating adventures and children's theater performances, while Shawn prepares for an upcoming golf tournament. The episode takes a more reflective turn when G shares his experience watching a Vietnam draft lottery video and realizing his birthday would have been one of the first called – a sobering thought about how different life could have been in another era. The hosts also discuss how Shawn leveraged Uber Eats to fund his college education, emphasizing that opportunities exist for those willing to seek them out.

Ever wonder what it truly costs to make magical memories at Disney? Prepare for sticker shock as we break down the eye-watering expenses of taking a family to major theme parks this summer. With admission alone costing $640 for a family of four at Disney and nearly as much at Universal, plus hundreds more for food, parking, and those irresistible souvenirs, your wallet will feel lighter than Tinkerbell by day's end.

We share a personal financial revelation that left Shawn simultaneously elated and furious—discovering his wife had an HSA card with a lot of money sitting unused in her desk for two years! This prompts an important conversation about knowing your benefits and understanding your company's compensation package beyond just the paycheck.

The conversation shifts to aviation as we discuss the bizarre incident of a pilot getting locked out of the cockpit when his first officer fell asleep, and the tragic story of a tall ship striking the Brooklyn Bridge. We also explore the fascinating history of the Concorde and exciting developments with "Boom," a company bringing supersonic travel back to commercial aviation.

From road rage encounters to homemade dog treats and the potential benefits of PEMF mats for pain management, this episode weaves through life's everyday challenges and unexpected discoveries. Whether you're planning a vacation, dealing with health issues, or simply navigating today's hectic world, you'll find useful insights and a few laughs along the way. Join us for a journey that reminds us that while life's flight path may encounter turbulence, attitude determines our altitude.

Remember when car safety meant "try not to fall out"? Shawn kicks off this episode with a story about doing exactly that – rolling out of a moving car as a child when the door flew open during a turn. His young nieces are appropriately horrified, having grown up in an era of five-point harnesses and booster seats. This leads to a nostalgic journey through the massive station wagons and bench seats of yesteryear when fitting six kids in the backseat was standard weekend entertainment.

The conversation shifts to remarkable people in the news, specifically Johnny Kim – whose career trajectory reads like a collection of childhood dream jobs. From troubled beginnings, Kim became a Navy SEAL with 100 successful combat missions, then a Harvard-educated doctor, and now NASA's first Korean-American astronaut. While most of us struggle to master one profession, Kim collects elite careers like trading cards, exemplifying the warrior mindset in everything he pursues.

Aviation news dominates the middle section, with updates on Starlink internet being installed across commercial fleets, Newark Airport's operational nightmare (or "the armpit of the nation" as the hosts affectionately call it), and ridiculous passenger requests – including one individual who provided flight attendants with a list demanding no coffee brewing, no nuts, no fragrances, and impossibly, "no airplane fuel smells" on an aircraft. We also explore bizarre incidents like a plane diverting because the autopilot stopped working (prompting the logical question: aren't pilots supposed to fly planes?) and a baggage handler who fell asleep in the cargo hold and woke up mid-flight.

Whether you're a frequent flyer or an aviation enthusiast, this episode delivers the perfect blend of nostalgia, industry insights, and the absurdity that makes air travel simultaneously frustrating and fascinating. Subscribe now and share with your weirdest coworker – you know the one.
