Have you ever wondered if college is really necessary for success? Or what happens when airline staff completely lose their cool on camera? Shawn and G tackle these questions and share wild workplace stories that'll make your job seem like a dream by comparison.

The conversation kicks off with local dangers on country roads before Shawn whisks us away to Charleston, South Carolina, where he discovered "booze pops" - the adult version of popsicles served alongside ice cream for kids. This leads to reflections on how airline culture has shifted, separating crews and diminishing the camaraderie that once defined the industry.

When the hosts dive into the viral video of gate agents verbally sparring with a customer in Raleigh-Durham, they don't hold back their criticism. "Customer service F...they get a total F," Shawn declares, sparking a discussion about de-escalation and professionalism in an age when everything gets recorded.

The episode's most thought-provoking segment challenges our educational priorities. "Fifty or more of the people that go to college shouldn't be there," G asserts, highlighting how trades like plumbing and welding offer six-figure incomes without student debt. The hosts lament how schools have eliminated shop classes, creating generations who can't handle basic home maintenance.

Shawn delivers the episode's most memorable moment during a time travel discussion, refusing to go to the past with a perfectly timed "I take my black ass back in time, I ain't gonna be happy." This blend of humor and social commentary exemplifies what makes Cabin Pressure unique - the ability to tackle serious topics while keeping you laughing.
