This episode continues from Episode 11 and the theme of building bridges.  Dave and Jeff ask the question, "What if you want to build or repair a bridge with someone and that person is uninterested?" 

(The "building bridges" theme will be one that the boys return to now and then, as Episode 11 seemed to resonate with some of our listeners.)

Dave and Jeff actually stick to one topic (more or less) for this episode.  How many of our listeners love traveling, but hate the process of traveling?  The airports and airplanes?  The boys talk about places to which they've traveled with a sharp focus on the city of Greenville, South Carolina.  Then they turn to the big question: why is air travel such a bitch?  Can the scientists in Oak Ridge PLEASE get teleportation up and running and ready for the masses?  Why are airports dystopian hellscapes and TSA agents the unthinking automatons that they are?  And can someone PLEASE explain to us the formal zone system that some airlines use when passengers board the craft?  Why does it take the same length of time as one's flight to exit the craft?  D & J discuss the drinks they're quaffing for this episode before nerding out - Game of Thrones style!  They return to their discussion of airports, but touch on some of the great travel perks to which Jeff has access.  It here that Jeff admits that he's an elitist dick.  And as he does that, he gets some bad news about some upcoming travel.
