Moments worth the wait
- The lost episode confession — last week’s recording never made it to tape.
“Should we bring up to the fans that we recorded and did an entire episode? I didn’t record it… That was actually a dress rehearsal guys.”
- The drug-dog bust — a friend gets an ultimatum at the pier.
“Drug dogs found it, so they gave her a choice — going to customs and not getting on the ship, or throwing them away and getting on the ship.”
- Tom’s own “pucker time” — a tense double-take on the Celebration.
“He like did a double take on Megan’s stuff and I was like hold up a minute.”
- Riverboat brawl, WWE-style — Montgomery goes full pay-per-view.
“Turns into a WWE style rumble with a guy beating someone with a chair… one of the guys jumped off the ship and swam to the pier.”
- Milestone discounts, spelled out — loyalty finally pays.
“25% off on the 25th cruise… 50% off for the 50th… 75% off on the 75th… and you get a free cruise on your 100th.”
- The pizza poll lands — the fans have spoken, unanimously.
“In light of the possible Royal Caribbean surcharge on pizza, would you pay for pizza on a cruise? Out of 24 votes, 100%” said no.
- Reese goes pro — the green light on his first set.
“I finished my stand-up set and got the go-ahead from my manager and the guy that runs the stand-up comedy show at my work.”
Golden nuggets
Running bits & lore born here
- Gary would have it delivered — on the paid-pizza debate, Gary gets a warm shout for his sensible take that he’d simply have it delivered to the cabin.
- The “Ted” bit returns — a suspicious SpeakPipe “Tom” asking about Windstar Cruises has the guys convinced it’s banned superfan Ted in disguise (“Sounds a little bit like Gary but gravelier”).
- “Dick rocket” goes back-to-back — the Bezos gag makes its second straight appearance: “that’s the second week in a row we brought up the dick rocket.”
- Captain “Bozo/Bozzo” — the recurring naming-a-clown tangent lands on Captain Claudio of the Carnival Vista.
- The “cult”/tiers gag — the running bit about the Facebook group they’re not allowed to call a “group,” plus the recurring Kool-Aid-flavor callback.
