Tuesday Sep 26, 2023
Tuesday Sep 26, 2023
Hammer, Adam & Ed talk about the disaster that was Burning Man. Delayed by a few days because of the storm Hurricane Hilary, the start of Burning Man was great! I heard. But then the storm moved across the country and DUMPED right on top of the 70,000 attendees of this years Burning Man. People were literally stranded in the middle of the Nevada desert unable to leave and unable to clean up after themselves, APPARENTLY!!! Should they have delayed this years festivities another week? Should they have kept the original date scheduled? Would you have checked the weather and brought all the essentials that would be needed?

Past airline standards, and boy does Hammer miss it!
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Tuesday Sep 12, 2023
Hammer tells us about how back in the 70s and 80s flying was for the cool kids. It was groovy, it was boozy, it was the best!!! You could get out of your seat and head to the bar for a drink. You could hit the mile high club in your personal room with a bed. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! But problem? More people were able to start getting on airplanes because they became more frequent, cheaper, and faster. So now almost anyone can take a flight. What do you miss the most about flying 50 years ago?

Adults only airlines?!
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
Yes, you read that correctly. Hammer & Adam talk with their driver Ed about a new form of airline travel. NO CHILDREN!!!!! Why did it take SO LONG for this to finally become a thing? Even those of us with kids are desperate for a no kids allowed section of the airplane. Buy these seats seem like a gamble though. You might have kids on the flight, you might not. Either way, you won't know because you'll be in a nice quiet part of the plane with the other adults
