Moments worth the wait
- The Trevor-quit bit — The cold open leans all the way into his “departure.”
“Trevor has decided to ditch us again... you all mean nothing to him.”
- Soda meets MacBook — Jenn's laptop takes a bath and she draws a line.
“no, Apple, you're not getting that much money from me. Not right now.”
- Gary's boat mission — Candid and determined ahead of FRGC.
“I have a mission right now that I am trying to get down to under 300 pounds so that I can ride boat and on FRGC... But I'm going to ride that damn boat.”
- The night-light VIP — Listener Jane Ann Avance's ingenious fix earns a crown.
“I found a temporary solution by covering the sensor with a bandage... I made sure that I took it off before leaving.”
- John Heald's pillow rant — Read aloud in full glory.
“I do get upset when my pillow is not pillowing... you have one sorting job. Be a pillow. You're a pillow. Act like one.”
- The Snooty Sleuths are born — Jenn names the new listener mission.
“We need snooty sleuths. Snooty sleuths on John's page help us find the snooty snoots.”
- Bacon Wars, framed as history — Jenn refuses to be rattled by the every-other-day change.
“I am on team omelet bar.”
