Jenn spent most of the episode completely frozen, but luckily the Golden Boys stepped up and carried this week’s show like true Podcastaway heroes. We dive into a heavy news cycle: the FBI investigation into the tragic death of an 18-year-old aboard the Carnival Horizon and the chaotic capsizing of a Dominican Republic excursion boat that left fifty cruise passengers swimming for safety.

From there, we shift into a bigger conversation about AI — not just how it’s shaping the industry, but how people are now using it to generate fake cruise news, viral hoaxes, and completely fabricated drama at sea.

It’s a wild week on the water, but we’ve got you covered.

And just when you thought it was safe to sleep—two Carnival passengers are suing over a bed-bug invasion that turned their vacation into a nightmare.We’re sorting through the wildest stories on the seven seas, one absurd headline at a time.Grab your drink, check your muster station, and get ready for laughs, shocks, and cruise gossip you won’t hear anywhere else.The Podcastaways: because sometimes, the waves aren’t the only thing making you seasick.
