Some Trip Episode 2—Delayed Flights, PR & Amelia A. got eaten by a Crab ft. Brett the Greek God)

This episode of Some Topic continues the ongoing Some Travel mini-series, this time with guest star Brett joining the chaos. What begins as delayed American Airlines flights to Puerto Rico quickly derails into airline app misery, piña coladas as coping mechanisms, and the realization that modern travel is just patience testing with extra steps. It’s a masterclass in Type-B survival philosophy: life happens, take a breath, and don’t fight the delay — just talk trash about it.As the episode unfolds, the conversation takes a hard left into the Bermuda Triangle, missing memories, and the timeless mystery of Amelia Earhart. Through deeply questionable logic and aggressively confident math, the crew debates whether eating a crab that consumed Amelia Earhart makes you partially Amelia Earhart yourself. Percentages are calculated, definitions of cannibalism are stretched beyond recognition, and history is disrespected in real time — exactly as the founding fathers did not intend.The travel narrative resumes with a rainforest excursion through Puerto Rico’s only tropical rainforest within the U.S. National Park System. Poor footwear decisions, boyfriend sacrifice, rope swings, rock slides, and tour-guide horror stories collide to form a cautionary tale about listening, preparation, and why flip-flops are not hiking equipment. Somewhere in the jungle, a broken jaw story reminds everyone that instructions exist for a reason.Food becomes a battlefield as Puerto Rican cuisine is debated, compared, misunderstood, and ultimately devoured. Plantains take center stage — praised as elite, criticized as “weird bananas,” and eaten anyway. Between Grandma’s rainforest restaurant, chicken-and-rice confusion, cinnamon-sugar plantains, rum factory priorities, and the absence of tortilla chips, cultural appreciation and American entitlement clash beautifully.The episode closes with Flamenco Beach disappointment, ferry hatred, taxi negotiations that somehow still lose, abandoned U.S. military tanks used as coastal defense, and passport logistics that threaten future travel plans. Brett’s presence only accelerates the derailments as the crew reflects on what Some Travel is really about: not seeing everything, but surviving it long enough to tell the story. The journey ends, as always, with the official Some Topic manifesto — two dangerously underqualified individuals confidently guiding listeners through the ruins of reason.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Intro & Brett joins the table03:40 – Delayed American Airlines flights to Puerto Rico07:50 – Airline apps, piña coladas & Type-B travel logic12:30 – Bermuda Triangle detour & missing memories17:20 – Amelia Earhart, crabs & forbidden percentage math23:10 – “You are what you eat” philosophical breakdown28:40 – Puerto Rico’s tropical rainforest explained33:10 – Shopping centers, shoes & boyfriend duty38:00 – Hiking boots sacrifice & rainforest chaos43:20 – Rope swings, injuries & ignoring instructions48:30 – Grandma’s restaurant & Puerto Rican food debate53:50 – Plantains: elite food or weird bananas58:10 – Flamenco Beach logistics & ferry hatred01:03:30 – Taxi negotiations & U.S. dollar confusion01:08:20 – Abandoned military tanks on the beach01:13:10 – Fairy godparents, cremation & dark logic01:16:30 – Brett, future travel & passport problems01:19:00 – Some Topic manifesto & episode close🔖 Hashtags#SomeTopicPodcast, #SomeTravel, #SomeTravelSeries, #ComedyPodcast, #TravelPodcast, #PodcastEpisode, #GuestStar, #Brett, #PuertoRicoTrip, #DelayedFlights, #AirlineChaos, #DarkHumor, #AmeliaEarhart, #ConspiracyComedy, #RainforestAdventure, #FlamencoBeach, #Plantains, #UnhingedComedy, #PodcastClips, #AdultComedy
