- We talk about parts of Florida, our general lack of knowledge about it
- Hulk Hogan is from Tampa and said the n word in his sex tape
- Mentally I'm in the Maldives
- The kooky laws in Maldives, such as pork, bikinis, alcohol, and dogs being banned
- The luxury resorts of Maldives, which aren't subjected to those laws
- A recent disappearance / potential murder of an 8-month pregnant woman at a Maldives resort
- Tiger sharks in the water, raising sea levels threaten the country
