Gary & Shannon kick things off in character before quickly spiraling into a very real question: how much do you actually like someone… and would you drive them to LAX to prove it? What starts as a simple airport drop-off turns into a full relationship stress test — timing the loop, traffic rage, post-flight meltdowns, and the unspoken scoreboard of who offers (and who actually shows up).Shannon explains why she absolutely does not want to be anywhere near LAX — while Gary insists just because he looks calm doesn’t mean he isn’t quietly losing it inside.They get into the politics of offering vs doing, the chaos of pickups, and why every airport ride somehow turns into therapy… or a fight.Plus: the other kind of “airport pickup” — and Shannon’s very direct rejection style.
