The crew rings in the new year with metaverse Shaq, a very real professional-soundman gig, and a jaw-dropping listener who wanted Carnival to refund the weather.

Moments worth the wait
- Two Truths results — last week's votes are in, and the truth barely wins.
“Tom, who said he won like $5 million… got 33% of the votes. And then the one that won Gary got none.”
- Trevor's metaverse NYE — this week's absurd lie involves a very famous DJ.
“I went into the metaverse, guys. And I partied with Shaqille O'Neal. He was DJing… they played champagne pong and Shaq one.”
- Tom's wholesome truth — the genuinely sweet soundman story behind his New Year's.
“I'm actually a professional soundman… I took my paycheck and drove home and slept the whole entire next day.”
- The weather-refund complaint — the listener request that shakes Trevor to his core.
“how in the world is carnival supposed to control the weather… that just that that that that that perturbs me so bad.”
- The quest to ride BOLT — Trevor's resolution and his near-miss on the SkyRide scale.
“it went green… And then it went red again. And then the dude standing behind her goes, no.”
- Nassau's glow-up — the port transformation that impressed even the skeptics.
“it just blows away what used to be there.”
- The casino-over-drinks strategy — a new booking philosophy Trevor is fully committed to.
“instead of taking the $500 on the drink package, I go to the casino, drop $500… see if the odds are in my favor.”
