Moments worth the wait
- Rad dad arrives — Trevor's cold-open alter ego his kids are already sick of.
“I might have been running around telling my kids I'm rad dad now… They're so sick of it.”
- The first Two Truths round — Tom opens the new segment with a whopper.
“I just went to the casino and $1, $15 [million]. So I'm quitting my job.”
- The flooded suite, sourced right — the $6,000 Mardi Gras cabin story, vetted before airing.
“I actually learned about it from LaLita Locas video… he showed the actual news report… I felt comfortable in saying that this is not BS.”
- The Jubilee hat heartbreak — the delayed inaugural means the guys still don't have their cowboy hats.
“if the Jubilee would have been on the… proper schedule, you and I would have gotten these hats back in November.”
- Breaking eBay news — the inaugural hat-and-book combo sells live on air.
“It was sold for $150… I wouldn't have sold it though. I would have kept that as a keepsake.”
- The burrito etymology deep dive — the great debate spirals into linguistics.
“a burrito means little donkey. So a burrito itself in Mexico… does not technically exist.”
- A tense real-time moment — something happens outside Gary's hotel mid-record.
“Well, I heard something like gunshots or something. Get down… You are in tea town.”
Golden nuggets
Running bits & lore born here
- Two Truths and a Lie is born — the new recurring segment (a listener suggestion from Brian) makes its debut here.
- “John Heald says drink” — the drinking-game bit keeps a tally every time the name comes up.
- #CCP2Jubilee persistence — “we've only been trying to get them for the past two years,” the ongoing quest for a Jubilee invite.
- Burrito vs. 12-hour French toast — the breakfast holy war rages on — Tom insists the burrito “looked awful. It was amazing.”
- The choose-your-own-adventure book — Trevor's cruise book that listeners are playing over the holidays.
- The sign-off flub — “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars,” the accidental Casey Kasem send-off.
