Would You Ride Three Hours With Strangers to Escape a Flight Delay?

Ken tells the story of a friend who got stranded in Detroit and rode three hours to Cleveland in a rental car with two women he'd just met on a delayed connecting flight, sparking a debate over whether that's a smart move or a reckless one. Ken argues it's an easy call if it saves a day of travel and money on a hotel, while Anthony pushes back that riding with strangers feels riskier than Ken lets on, even sharing his own story of choosing to wait out a flight delay in Seattle for four days rather than rush home. The two also riff on whether it's easier to talk politics with strangers than with people you know, with Anthony arguing baggage-free conversations are less fraught, before spiraling into a bit about using big vocabulary words to sound smart.
