Moments worth the wait
- The research that wasn't — Trevor “pretends” he did his homework and Tom refuses to play along.
“That is because you actually didn't.”
- Spontaneous water — The catamaran report's phrase “began to make water” spirals into a full chemistry bit.
“It's spontaneous water is what that is.”
- Why the FBI? — Tom explains the jurisdiction behind shipboard investigations.
“Anytime someone goes missing off of a cruise ship, they bring in the FBI… Because it's international waters.”
- Trevor's AI plea — A heartfelt request on behalf of his rattled mother.
“Stop making videos and posting them on Facebook about cruise ships and typhoons.”
- The most solemn condolence — The recurring Photoshopped pizza-meme hoax gets a somber send-off.
“Our hearts go out to that man's hoo ha.”
- The frozen-Jenn kicker — Trevor drops last week's frozen screenshot into the feed and can't stop cackling.
“She's going to hate you so much.”
