Cody and Matthew open with legacy carrier fleet updates and Matthew’s 737 MAX 10 sighting at Boeing Field, then discuss widebody versus narrow-body life — why Matthew feels “special” on widebodies and why tall Cody struggles on narrow-body aircraft. They share stories about the Boeing Museum and defunct airlines, laugh about Albuquerque→Phoenix distance surprises, praise the Flighty app for tracking oldest/newest planes, celebrate the joys of bidding, confess to becoming “slam-clickers,” and complain about relentless hotel‑to‑airport van chatter.

Matthew and Cody gently unpack the quirks of in‑flight beverage service—how crews juggle hot drinks at altitude and the delightfully weird ways passengers order coffee. Matthew opens up about a tender career pivot from indie film casting director to flight attendant, while Cody shares a face‑palm interview outtake that might’ve cost him an airline invite and the tale of a baffling adults‑only party invite. Expect warm, candid stories, plenty of laughs, and thoughtful reflections on careers in the skies.

In this special extended episode of Breaking Sterile, we dig into passenger safety, earbuds vs. announcements, pets in the cabin, and the curious phenomenon of being invisible in uniform. It’s a longer ride, but worth it, as we talk through what it takes to keep flights safe, calm, and (mostly) sane while the world scrolls by.
