This week, Eric is back solo with a fresh dose of frustration - courtesy of the absolute disaster that was his recent travel experience. From dealing with airport staff that seemed determined to make everything more difficult to the sheer chaos of air traffic control, it was a trip filled with setbacks, delays, and a whole lot of wasted time. If you’ve ever been stranded at an airport, stuck in security, or dealt with ridiculous airline policies, you’re going to relate hard to this one. But it doesn’t stop there. After venting about the nightmare that was his trip, Eric dives into the fascinating world of air traffic control, how the aviation industry keeps planes moving, and why things sometimes go so terribly wrong. Ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes when flights get delayed or rerouted? This episode has you covered. Of course, no solo episode would be complete without a little bit of political talk. From spending policies to travel regulations and everything in between, Eric shares his take on what’s happening in the news and how it all connects back to everyday life. Whether you’re here for the travel horror stories, aviation deep dives, or just classic Eric rants, this episode has a little bit of everything. Buckle up - it’s gonna be a bumpy ride!
