Happy April 1st! In this nine-minute bonus, the Golden Boys tackle two of cruising’s most urgent questions: is a Speedo acceptable attire for elegant night, and is it ever okay to request an entire personal tray of bacon? Spoiler — the answers flip the second they’re said out loud. Silly, short, and gloriously unserious.

Moments worth the wait
- Fake accolades — the guys award themselves everything under the sun despite being brand new.
“Voted best podcast of the year… and we’re only four months in.”
- Tom beats Ryan Reynolds — newly crowned sexiest man of the year, and he took the news graciously.
“I finally beat out Ryan Reynolds… He called me. He was crying.”
- Speedo counsel — the official formal-night styling advice you didn’t ask for.
“Elegant night. Speedo and a nice bow tie… You would be like a Chippendale.”
- The bacon doctrine — a passionate case for walking up and claiming the whole tray.
“Bacon is God’s dish… I don’t think it’s over the line to just walk up and say, give me the tray.”
- The instant reversal — the April Fools reveal lands and every opinion flips.
“If someone gave me a tray of bacon, I would throw it on the floor. Speedos should not be allowed anywhere.”
Golden nuggets
Running bits & lore born here
- Speedo-in-the-MDR — the formal-night Speedo bit is born here and comes roaring back in E18 and E20 (tear-away-pants territory).
- The tray of bacon — a new food obsession, right up there with the guys’ love of over-committing to a bit.
- “Report us to John Heald” — the running gag of daring listeners to snitch to Carnival’s ambassador.
- The botched outro — Tom fumbles the sacred sign-off, calling it Twitter instead of YouTube — a mistake he’ll keep making.
