Welcome aboard “Cruising with CliShay”—the travel edition of Anything But CliShay. In this episode, Clifton and Shay take listeners through their unforgettable nightmare at London’s Stansted Airport, a place that feels more like a mall with a runway.
It all starts with a late arrival and a line that never ends. After a bag check snafu and a “secondary inspection” that went nowhere, the couple finds themselves sprinting through a maze of designer boutiques, hunting for a gate that isn’t even announced until an hour before takeoff. By the time they reach it, the flight is gone, and the only way out involves a $250 rebooking and a mysterious “VP9 exit” that leads—literally—into the men’s room.
From hopping barriers to escaping duty-free detention, Clifton and Shay somehow find humor in the madness—and redemption in a cozy pub called The Lion & Lamb. The adventure wraps with a bonus “Unpopular Opinion” segment, where Clifton argues that your first home should be an investment, not a comfort zone.
It’s part travel therapy, part relationship test, and 100% classic CliShay. Listen wherever you get your podcasts—and maybe avoid Stansted next time you fly.
