So I'm listening to the podcast while thinking about a caption for the current caption contest (a great Ellis Rosen cartoon of a wizard or sooth-sayer at an airport check-in counter) and I hear the bit about taking an Uber to the airport. That got me thinking if there's something with comparing the ordeal of catching a flight with the "Hero's Journey". "You've survived the Uber ride to the airport and successfully navigated to the check-in counter, but you'll surely fail the journey to get to the departure gate on time." Maybe it's "Answer me these riddles three: what is your name, what is your quest, do you have three forms of identification?" They're both a bit wordy, but I like the idea of having The Lord of the Rings or Monty Python and the Holy Grail having a bit about navigating an airport terminal somewhere in the journey.
Anyways, always great to listen to the two of you brainstorm ideas!
