Our Commentary

A decent OCB starts this beaut of an ep off. Great stuff with tipping per bag, running like a girl, and the whole coach/first class duality, a beautiful LC, and a hilarious LD in tandem, (Take a listen:)

with a beautiful Grossbard/Allan Wasserman, (Take a listen:)

and the Van Wyck versus the Cross Island complete this hilarious episode. Classic LC writing with the singing of the "I Love to Stop at the Duty Free Shop", (Take a listen:)

as well as the kosher meal and more anything more everything. Just a beauty of an ep. Adam - It was a great ep. well done to all.
