    I had been loving this show but I have to call out Tommy for referring “swimming with pigs” and as Tony pointed out immediately, he was not actually swimming with pigs. Tommy was making a joke about women and referring to them as pigs. I stopped listening at that point.

  • Awesome

    Loving you two together. I’ve been a Tommy ABB fan for a while. The casual, long form format of this show is excellent. As you guys recently discussed, I’m becoming a jaded cruiser. The crowds, and never-ending price increases have pushed me back to more land-based vacations. I’m hoping it reaches a tipping point soon, because I love being on the water.
