In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into a spicy list of audience-submitted hot takes about air travel—and trust us, some of these takes had us howling, gasping, and nodding in agreement. From flip-flops in the lav to the eternal debate over seat reclining, we’re unpacking it all from 35,000 feet.We also kick things off with a little summer flying catch-up—how we keep ourselves sane (and stylish) on those sweaty commutes, what’s playing in our AirPods, and how a killer playlist can make all the difference. Then it’s time to get into your opinions on everything from grooming on board to the infamous middle seat. Whether you’re crew or just curious, this episode’s got something for everyone. Episode Highlights:[0:00] Starting off with summer vibes and how we survive commuting in a swamp [2:24] What's in our AirPods?

  • What Flight Attendants Wish Passengers Knew About "The Rules"
    Ever feel like your flight attendants are just out to nag you? In this episode, we’re pulling back the galley curtain to explain why those “annoying” reminders—seat belts, tray tables, and stowing your bag—are actually life-saving safety protocols. From clear-air turbulence to last-minute emergencies, we walk through the real reasons why the little things we ask of passengers matter in a big way. Trust us, it’s not about being on a power trip—we genuinely care. We’re also sharing a wild in-flight story, including an unforgettable moment that had us questioning everything we thought we knew about carry-ons (spoiler: it involves a baby in an overhead bin).  Episode Highlights:[0:21] Why passengers think flight attendants are “nagging” [2:13] The 90-second evacuation rule—and why it drives everything we do [3:58] Why seat belts matter beyond turbulence [5:32] Seat belt signs during cruise—yes, still important! [7:31] Turbulence is getting worse—and pilots don’t always get it right [8:12] Overhead bins, under-seat storage, and the chaos of loose bags [10:27] Yes, even pilots sometimes break the rules (and we call them out) [11:48] If you ask whether you can get up—then don’t listen—why did you ask? [13:09] Why you should actually pay attention to the safety demo [16:29] We’re not nagging. We just want you safe. [17:18] What Would Two Guys Do? — Drew’s wildest inflight story: Baby on an overhead bin. Thoughts on this episode?

  • Should You Tip Your Flight Attendants?!
    Ever wondered if you should be tipping your flight attendants? In this episode, we break down the complex world of in-flight tipping and gifting. We dive into what tipping means in our industry, the fine line between appreciation and expectation, and why a genuine "thank you" can go further than a $5 bill. We also share some of our favorite (and cringiest) experiences receiving treats, tips, and thoughtful surprises in the sky. We talk all things passenger courtesy, the psychology of gifting, and how the culture of tipping affects the airline world. Plus, Rich shares a wild layover story from a pilot friend in our “What Would Two Guys Do?” segment that had Drew in tears.  Episode Highlights:[0:00] - Should passengers be tipping flight attendants? Let's talk about it.[1:22] - Drew's heartwarming layover story with a new hire who just gets it.

[10:03] - Comparing tipping vs. gifting: is one better than the other? [12:00] - The problem with performative gifting—expecting upgrades or perks. [14:25] - Creative and actually useful gifts that flight attendants love. [17:19] - PSA: Be a kind passenger—sometimes, that’s more appreciated than any gift.
