Clifton and Shay kick off “Cruising with CliShay” by reliving the chaos of London Stansted—where the security line crawls, the duty-free maze never ends, and the gate doesn’t drop until it’s a full-on mad dash. A missed flight snowballs into a $250 “gotcha” rebook, a VP9 exit scavenger hunt, and an improvised barrier hop to freedom. Along the way: why Stansted feels like a shopping center with planes, the case for buying back your confiscated liquids, a rowdy 6 a.m. hop to “Bar-tha-lona,” and an unlikely shout-out to the Lion & Lamb pub for saving their sanity. Plus, in Unpopular Opinions, Clifton argues your first “home” should be an income property. Zero out of ten—don’t recommend the airport; do recommend the hacks.
