Recommended by major dude and friend of the show Tom Keiser, it’s time for J and Collision to endure the long lines and longer speeches of… Airport, Arthur Hailey’s 1968 ode to MEN and their DECISIONS and their FEELINGS.

You need to know, though: this ain’t the summer of love.  Also, you can pack your bags and you can leave tonight, but this book ain’t exactly your ticket to paradise, people.  Grab a tiny bottle of dad’s medicine, find your most comfortable pair of travelling shoes, and join us where the departures meet the arrivals.
