#256 "Continuing the Italian Adventure: Part 2"

Non-Rev Tales: Puerto Rico Song Jokes, Italy Highlights, and an Extra-Section Ride HomeThe hosts share a running joke about a “Puerto Rico” song, including a supervisor-office moment where the reference fell flat, and later a party clip that accidentally resembled a Nazi salute. They discuss annoyance with social media trend-copying, upcoming meetups and travel plans (Dork Fest, Seattle, Universal), and Lara’s London crew tour to Greenwich that drew complaints despite her planning. Monique recounts an Italy trip with standout hotel-bakery breakfasts, touring a potential wedding villa, and a beach day with reserved chairs, jellyfish warnings, and mixed water quality, then traveling to Barcelona for tapas and a World Cup atmosphere. Flying home, they use non-rev strategies and an extra-section JFK flight with only 35 passengers, scoring business seats, then deal with chaotic JFK gate agents.
