About this episode

The episode discusses a Georgia man's murder charges, new regulations on phone calls during flights, Disney Cruise Line's first female captain, and tourism issues in Barcelona.

Congress is considering a law to ban phone conversations on airplanes. For once, Washington and the Guru actually agree on something. Disney Cruise Line has appointed its first female captain, a former lawyer. If there's ever a passenger dispute, she can overrule it and bill by the hour. Barcelona's new tourism commissioner has a simple message: "Not one more tourist!" Apparently, even the tourists are getting tired of the tourists. Carnival says it's reusing old ship names because it can't think of any new ones.
