What happens when your coworkers are more turbulent than the flight itself? Flight attendants Shaw n and G lift the veil on airline crew dynamics, specifically addressing the challenging "one-percenters" who make life difficult at 35,000 feet.

The hosts start by discussing the unseen health hazards of their profession – working in a "germ-infested tube" where constant exposure to illnesses is inevitable. "We're worse than a two-year-old," G admits about how flight attendants inadvertently spread germs across the country. This vulnerability creates a unique occupational hazard that passengers rarely consider when boarding.

The heart of the episode focuses on categorizing troublesome colleagues: "chia pets" who refuse to communicate, "fire starters" who create conflicts then disappear, "avoiders" who hide from work, and those who insist on wearing earbuds despite safety concerns. Through humorous anecdotes, Sean and G reveal how these challenging personalities affect both crew morale and passenger experience, offering an insider's view of workplace dynamics that mirror challenges in many professions.

Beyond crew discussion, the hosts share critical travel updates, including the May 2025 Real ID requirement deadline and recent travel advisories affecting popular destinations. They conclude with an extensive exploration of Orlando beyond its famous theme parks, highlighting hidden gems along International Drive, remarkable escape rooms, and dining experiences like the Hash House.
