What happens when you combine a horror movie enthusiast who hates being scared, a dog who prefers the human who stays home, and a dating app request that leaves everyone speechless? You get this delightfully candid conversation with flight attendant Kayla.
From the moment she introduces herself as being "born with a tooth" (earning her the nickname "the unborn" from her father), Kayla's refreshing honesty and humor shine through. She takes us through her journey from playing volleyball as an unusually tall child (thanks to those prenatal steroids) to navigating the skies as a flight attendant who initially dreamed of glamorous international flights but now prefers the simplicity of domestic routes.
The hosts and Kayla share laughs about the stark differences between polished international crews and their more casual domestic counterparts, with Emirates flight attendants making everyone else "feel like the ant on the floor." Her first experience flying to Shanghai reveals the unexpected pressures of international service, while her stories about passengers requesting Diet Cokes during severe turbulence highlight the everyday challenges of airline life.
Perhaps most memorable is the dating app discussion, where Kayla shares an inappropriate request that leaves Shawn visibly shocked—a perfect illustration of how modern dating differs from the days when you had to "walk across the dance floor and ask someone to dance." Throughout it all, her warmth and authenticity make you feel like you're sitting in the galley with the crew, sharing stories between flights.
The episode closes with thoughtful reflections on the importance of civil discourse and a powerful reminder: "Never stop being a good person because of bad people." Whether you're a frequent flyer or have never set foot on a plane, this conversation offers a window into the humor, challenges, and humanity that exists at 30,000 feet.
