*On the Saturday, November 1st, 2025 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, Uber plans to have driver-less taxis on the road of San Francisco by sometime next year; and the guys in the towers of Las Vegas are trying to figure out if they are in a "Trump Slump."
- Airline passengers occasionally do things to help other passengers. Some of those are little favors the flight attendants wish you **wouldn't do**. That's right, sometimes nice doesn't work for everyone. We have the "please don't help him/her with that" list. See if you agree.
- As the federal **government shutdown** drags on, TSA inspectors and Air Traffic Controllers are working without pay. How long can that continue? We take a look at the human side of things, away from the politics.
- We open up The **Travel Guys Mailbag** and take out some of the questions you ask us at [travelguysradio.com](https://travelguysradio.com/). Answers to questions about everything from toll booths to passports will have answers!
