Moments worth the wait
- Reese's bionic return — He comes back from his fake amputation good as new, teeing up a Six Million Dollar Man bit.
“better and faster… they had the technology”
- The $10 miracle fare — Agent Amanda scores Megan onto the FRGC for almost nothing.
“they gave her a $10 deal… it ended up being more like 300 something”
- Gary the loofah champ — Gary's devotion pays off, warm and celebrated, and Trevor one-ups him.
“Gary, you're a champ, bro.”
- Mr. Brian's blue card — A new-cruiser milestone gets read aloud, and it's all love for the show and the agent.
“From listening to Trevor Shelby and Thomas Kennedy I gained so much of value information… where to find an awesome travel agent, Have Luggage Will Travel. We had a blast.”
- The pack-and-go gamble — The core topic lands on why must-go sailings can cost you.
“carnival knows that they've got them… let's charge them out the wazoo.”
- A warm closing — Trevor points listeners to a National Suicide Prevention line with a sincere note.
“if you ever have any those kind of thoughts… give them a call because you're unique, you're special, and you are loved.”
