Previously, on part one of last season's Million Bazillion San Fran Finlit Podcon cliffhanger

episode.

This is your captain speaking.

Good news.

We've landed ahead of schedule.

However, we will be taxing on the runway for an hour before we reach the gate.

We're racing against time to pull off the impossible.

What?

The conference is going to start soon if we miss the very beginning.

We miss everything.

I can't be late to the conference.

I'm Nick Sterling.

Uh-oh.

Are we ever going to get off this plane?

Flight SK-84 to Madison will be departing in 10 minutes from being 10.

It took five hours, five, to get off that plane.

My legs feel like pretzels, not the straight kind, the curly kind to be clear.

I think I forgot how to walk from all that sitting.

This delay was not on the itinerary.

Luckily for me, the U.S. Mint arranged a private car and a little golf cart to take me to my private car.

Uh, sorry, there's only room for me.

See you at the conference. Must be nice. It doesn't matter. Pick up the pace, Ryan. We need to get out of this airport into the conference as fast as we can. Shouldn't we grab a snack first? I don't want to see hangary, Bridget. We'll eat when we get there, and I'm not hangary. But we already missed the welcome reception and all the swag bags with the tiny golden microphone pins. And who knows what other goodies are going to be gone? Yeah, if I'm not gifted a new hydro flask every year, what else will I have to lose under my car seat? Why does everyone walk like they're on vacation when they're at the airport? Excuse us. Sorry. Come in through. you. Excuse you. It's okay to walk on the moving walkway guys. It's not a ride.
