Episode Details

In this Dirty Little Secret, a listener admits to a travel hack she’s been keeping to herself for years — and it works every single time. After nearly missing a flight during a packed holiday travel season, she grabbed her old crutches from a past ACL injury on a last‑minute whim. What happened next changed how she travels forever. Shorter security lines, extra help from airline staff, early boarding, and zero stress. Now?
She admits she uses the crutches on purpose during busy travel days even though she doesn’t actually need them anymore. She insists she’s not taking resources away from anyone, and technically… she was injured once. But is it fair to use sympathy and accessibility perks as a shortcut? Billy the Kidd, Candice Lopez, and Producer Pooh react with a mix of disbelief, laughter, and curiosity debating whether this is unethical, harmless, or secretly brilliant.

This Dirty Little Secret sparks a bigger conversation about travel stress, moral gray areas, and how far people are willing to go to avoid long airport lines.
