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.
