The two-man booth becomes a three-man booth. Trevor's friend since elementary school — Oklahoma City tattoo artist and never-cruised newbie Reese Schrimsher — joins as the show's official "Blue Card Intern," bringing zero cruise experience and infinite questions. The guys walk him through what a blue card even is, break down some gloriously chaotic cruise-fight footage, and welcome him to cult onboarding. What better credibility for a cruising podcast than someone who's never set foot on a ship?

Moments worth the wait
- The whole premise — the show doubles down on credibility by hiring someone who has literally never cruised.
“What more credibility can we give a cruising podcast than to bring somebody who's never been on a cruise?”
- Reese's daughter, unimpressed — the family cruise news lands with a teenager exactly as you'd expect.
“So we can't afford to go to California this summer, but you can go on a cruise next year?”
- Fight-night attire, escalated — cruise wardrobe now includes combat gear, spiraling into mouth guards, Vaseline, and worse.
“If you're a dude your shirt comes off... you want to show your dominance.”
- The Bimini pier breakdown — a man falls in, his rescuer handles priorities first, and a third guy just... falls in on camera.
“Hang on, let me get my keys out — he's okay down there.”
- Cult-tier onboarding — the sign-off spells out the path to the good stuff: join the page and group, listen to every episode, re-listen, rate.
“That gets you the cult tier status.”
Golden nuggets
Running bits & lore born here
- Reese, the Blue Card Intern — the never-cruised third chair debuts here, kicking off his onboarding arc, the "questions from a newb" segment, and the whole blue-card caste running gag.
- #GelatoGate returns — "I'm gonna go get gelato — hashtag gelato gate."
- Upside-down pineapple warnings — the guys helpfully brief Reese on what a certain cabin-door decoration signals before his first sailing.
- Legend callbacks — Trevor's fabled 15-meals-in-a-day feat and the guest who showed up in full makeup for an audio-only show both get a nod.
- Cult onboarding formalized — the sign-off now doubles as a recruitment funnel for "cult tier status."
