Take flight with veteran cabin crew members Shawn and G as they pull back the curtain on what really happens at 35,000 feet. Their candid conversation offers a rare glimpse into the world of professional flying that passengers rarely witness.

The duo shares hilarious stories from their recent flights together, including Shawn's now-famous "taking trash, talking trash" announcement that has passengers recognizing him in airports years later. They discuss the mummified mouse discovered during Shawn's podcast studio renovation and explore the unexpected treasures found at local auction houses where flight equipment and furniture can be purchased at deep discounts.

What truly makes this episode shine is their unfiltered take on crew dynamics. From the "chia pet" flight attendants who refuse to communicate to those who won't set up galleys because "I don't do that on the ground," Shawn and G reveal the personality types that make or break the in-flight experience. They also tackle serious topics like managing in-flight medical emergencies with limited resources and how airlines could dramatically improve boarding procedures if they would only listen to frontline staff.

A touching segment explores how youth baseball teaches crucial life skills beyond the diamond, as G reflects on seeing a young player carefully protecting his A2000 glove during a flight. The episode wraps with a look at global aviation news, including the fascinating comparison of international air force sizes and the recent delay in implementing secondary cockpit barriers across all aircraft.

Whether you're a frequent flyer curious about what happens behind the galley curtain or simply enjoy authentic workplace stories, this episode delivers insight, laughs, and a new appreciation for the professionals who make air travel possible.
