  This week on Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we turn the tables and talk about what sends passengers’ blood pressure through the roof. From Newark’s massive ATC disruption and flight diversions to checked bags, seat changes, broken Wi-Fi, delays, and all the little things that can turn an ordinary trip into a stressful one, we look at air travel from the passenger’s side. Shawn also shares stories from his first trip to Korea, including the food, culture, and a Korean-speaking flight atten...

  What raises a flight attendant’s blood pressure before the airplane even leaves the gate? This week on Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we talk about the boarding habits that drive crews crazy — blocked aisles, misplaced bags, last-minute lavatory runs, confused seat assignments, and passengers who suddenly need everything just as the door is about to close.

  104: The Most Ridiculous Aviation Would You Rather Questions 14.09.2026 39min

  After years as a flight attendant and cabin crew, Shawn and G have learned one thing about aviation: sometimes there is no good choice… only the least terrible one. In this episode of Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we play a round of aviation “Would You Rather?” and get into the real-life chaos of cabin crew life. Would you rather work a 14-hour flight with no coffee maker or a four-hour flight with a screaming baby? Deal with nonstop call-button dings or a passenger who will not stop tal...

  101: Why Some Flight Attendants Are Just Plane Rude 24.08.2026 36min

  Are some flight attendants just plane rude… or are passengers missing what actually happens before that “attitude” shows up? In this episode of Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we get into the real reason flight attendants sometimes come across short, tired, or fed up. From passengers ignoring a simple “good morning” during boarding to sneaking into exit rows, refusing safety instructions, arguing over overhead bin space, and getting mad when the answer is “no,” this one is all about persp...

  100: We Asked Flight Attendants: What's the WORST Part of the Job? 17.08.2026 30min

  This episode starts with the question every nervous flyer has probably wondered during turbulence: what are the flight attendants thinking right now? Shawn and G break down the real answer, and spoiler alert — it is usually not panic. It is more like, “Sit down, buckle up, stay off the ceiling, and how are we supposed to finish this service now?” From sudden bumps that send pots flying to passengers asking for water in the middle of turbulence, this one opens with the real crew perspective on...
• 
  Push The Flush Button 10.08.2026 34min

  This episode starts with a public service announcement from every flight attendant on earth: if you see the lavatory flush button, please push it. Shawn and G kick things off with a very real, very gross airplane bathroom rant that every crew member and frequent flyer will understand immediately. Somehow, that turns into remote-control flushing, Ally McBeal, and a lavatory invention that probably should never be trusted to two flight attendants sitting on a jumpseat. From there, the guys get ...

  Flight Attendant Recovers Destroyed iPad From Seat – Here's What Happened 03.08.2026 39min

  This episode starts with the question every flight attendant answers before the aircraft door even closes: what do you notice first when passengers board? Shawn tries to keep it professional, G immediately goes to smell, and suddenly we are talking about clean passengers, airport outfits, sandals on planes, pajama travel, and the mystery of why some people show up to the airport looking like they lost a fight with their suitcase. From there, things get even stranger with a passenger wearing ...

  Airport Moving Sidewalks Bring Out The Worst In People 27.07.2026 46min

  YouTube Description Why do people step off a moving sidewalk in the airport and suddenly act like they just reached the scenic overlook at the Grand Canyon? That is where this episode starts, and honestly, it only gets more accurate from there. Shawn and G are back with a full breakdown of the human behavior crimes we all witness in airports: people stopping at the end of moving walkways, families walking five-wide through the concourse, seat savers, baggage claim blockers, phone zombies, and...

  96 Weeks Straight, Then This Happened 21.07.2026 2min

  After 96 straight weeks of continuous posting, this is the first time Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G will not have a regular full episode. This week, G is out sick, and instead of forcing a show that would not feel like us, Shawn checks in with a short update for the Cabin Pressure family. The heart of this show has always been the back-and-forth, the interruptions, the laughs, the airline stories, the travel chaos, and the moments that somehow make us question humanity. Without G, it jus...

  Why This Passenger's Refusal to Move Nearly Caused an Incident 13.07.2026 46min

  Episode Description This episode starts with Shawn and G doing what they do best: turning one joke into a full conversation. From “do-do duty time” to the World Cup, soccer culture, USA pride, and why Americans sometimes miss how big the rest of the world’s sports moments really are, the opening quickly becomes a mix of comedy, competition, and classic Cabin Pressure banter. Then the conversation moves into serious airline territory. Shawn shares a cockpit barrier situation where a passenger ...

  Doo Doo Duty Limits And Other Airline Chaos 06.07.2026 52min

  Doodoo Limitations One badly pronounced airline term is all it takes to send this episode completely off the rails. What begins as a serious explanation of pilot and flight attendant duty limitations quickly becomes “doodoo limitations”—and, naturally, we never recover. First, we follow up on the passenger accused of slapping a flight attendant and facing serious federal consequences. That leads to an important reminder: keep your hands to yourself on an airplane. We also talk about how drama...

Then the conversation turns to the summer travel disaster season.

  Wait, You Don't Remember Ditching Me? 22.06.2026 55min

  What happens when Shawn promises to attend a party, convinces G to go—and then completely forgets to show up? This episode begins with G calling Shawn out for missing a wild flight-attendant “Return to the ’80s” party while relaxing on his deck without a care in the world. Once the excuses are over, we get into a serious airline-safety debate: Should overhead bins automatically lock during takeoff, landing, and emergency evacuations to stop passengers from grabbing their luggage? We also exam...

  The worst travel mistake you can make! 15.06.2026 54min

  A guy walks into the backyard, looks around for a few minutes, and suddenly removing some bushes costs four thousand dollars. That is where this episode begins: with Shawn and G trying to understand how “just get rid of it” turned into a luxury service. From backyard estimates and junk removal to basement cleanouts, old treadmills, and the things we all keep for no good reason, this one starts with the kind of real-life frustration everybody understands. Then the conversation takes a hard tur...

  The Most Humiliating Admission on This Podcast 08.06.2026 51min

  This episode starts with one of the hardest things in life: admitting someone else was right. From there, Shawn and G turn that simple moment into a bigger conversation about humility, emotional growth, and why being wrong sometimes teaches you more than being right ever could. Then the airline chaos takes over. A flight turns around mid-ocean after a Bluetooth device shows up with the name “bomb,” only for it to turn out to be a kid’s Fitbit. It is the kind of aviation headline that sounds r...

  We Need to Talk About Our Feelings... 01.06.2026 54min

  A bag tag is supposed to help your suitcase get home, not get you pulled off a plane. In this episode, we start with a terrifying travel warning about a baggage scam where criminals switch luggage tags, potentially connecting an innocent traveler to a drug-filled bag. We break down what happened, why it matters, and the simple habit every traveler should start doing before checking luggage. Whether you fly all the time, travel standby, or only head to the airport once in a while, this is one ...

  Someone Nearly Got Fired AND a Denver Runway Breach in One Episode 18.05.2026 51min

  Somebody nearly gets tossed into human resources in the first minute, and somehow that is still not the wildest part of the hour. We start by sending real love to Shawn’s mom and asking for prayers, then we jump straight into the kind of airline stories you only hear when the mic is on and the crew is off the clock. We talk haunted layover hotels in Rapid City, including the infamous eighth floor and the eerie history that has crews asking for room changes. From there, we meet a gate a...
