Welcome Jenny!! Loved your mic drop on the FB page today, lol! 

Based on your meme posts today, I’ve determined that DB and Karma are my spirit animals. Napoleon and Parks and Rec are heavily played at my house!

I'm pretty sure just about EVERYONE here are my spirit animals... which is why we are HERE and not on the BB page. 

Now, if I could just figure out how to post a meme and going the TT fun! Hmmm... please don't kick me off and put me on the BB page because I can't figure out technology. I PROMISE I know how to do most everything else. Just not this message board stuff. Why is this one so complicated?? 😂😂😂😂😂

I feel like I’m getting so smart today!

Can someone fill me in? What trip? What were the deats? I feel loved me I’ve been living under a rock. I just listened to the new show and T mentioned the trip but I had no idea what she was talking about.
Thanks in advance for answering!!

 
There is a feed called Wake Up Cancelled on this board- it has all the info! That might be a good place for you to start....

I missed hearing about the the Turks and Caicos trip too.  I found answers in the thread "Today's Show (not actually today)" around page 184.  I think Taylor and TD organized a meet up for cocktails and some other BS for listeners in T&C in October? and asked listeners to pay some insane amount of $ via email.  Not sure how accurate this is and I definitely wish I didn't miss all these deets.  I'll have to read more later, maybe I can filter by date/October.

Did T address specifically what Sirius objected to with the trip?

 
Nope. She didn’t own any of it honestly. She said, “What I was told was that it had to with another project. The trip.” She alluded to thinking there was more to the firing, but anyone with half a brain can figure out that SXM wouldn’t want the liability that comes along with asking people to send Credit card info to a random gmail account. Here is the actual email you rec’d from the team when you inquired about the trip, posting here since it was deleted from the Fb group:

Mr. Magoo and Jpinney-
I’ve got a few minutes so I’ll try to recap it for you, although it’s a lot more fun to read the threads cause you’ll capture the emotions and specifics that way. Some people actually did research to find out what exactly the trip would cost vs. what Taylor & Co were asking people to pay too.

Here’s what happened:
- Taylor teased the listeners about something great coming up; was going to announce it as soon as she finalized the details (sounds like she didn’t finalize them with the right people after all!)
- Announced that she doing a weekend (but it was actually 48 hours when you looked carefully) trip to Turks & Caicos. I believe it was called the “Hey Girl Hey Getaway” but didn’t have Sirius in the name.
-First issue: She did it with her old boss at Sirius, whose husband owned the hotel in T&C. People weren’t required to stay there but it’s where T was staying (I’m sure hers was comped).
-Second issue: She had just talked on the radio (about a month or two previously) about how she had wanted to go to T&C for the weekend but it was way too expensive to go for that length of time, so she and TD did a ‘staycation’ instead. It made it seem kinda shady to now plan a trip and charge people to go with you (so you can go for free?). Even if she was paying, it looked like you were getting a free trip.With your GF who I’m sure she would say was taking photos.
-Biggest issue: Send us your cc in an email and we will run it. Not to a secure link/website/anything. Just email it in a regular email to us. No probs.
-What was included (I just found the actual post):
   Friday:
               VIP Greeter at the airport
              Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres poolside at her hotel
   Saturday:
              Buffet Breakfast ONLY if you stay at her hotel (owned by hubby of former Sirius boss)
              One hour WUWT taped broadcast (this probably got her in bigger trouble)
              Half-day boat trip including snorkeling, unlimited drinks, fresh conch salad, and a beach (I can
               speak from experience saying fresh conch salad is about $20 to make for an entire boat.)
              Also will visit a beach. (True price- $89/pp)
              Dinner on the beach at the ‘world-renowned Grace Bay Club’ including a 3 course meal and
                 transportation to/from the place.
  Sunday:
             Buffet breakfast (only if staying at Taylor’s hotel)
             Getaway goodie bag

ALL OF THIS FOR THE MERE PRICE OF $1400. DOES NOT INCLUDE AIRFARE OR HOTEL.

***NO REFUNDS. MINIMUM OF 10 PARTICIPANTS****

(See any problems here????)

Some people posted for comparison that Adam Corolla does a Fan Cruise that’s 4 nights and it starts at $680 including the cruise.

Someone looked up the accommodations at West Bay Club for that weekend: $833.50
Flight from JFK- $347
Taxi to/from airport- $32
Island Vibe Tour (not sure what this was? Maybe getting to hotel and back?)- $89
Total for them to get/stay in T&C for the weekend (on top of the cost of the trip)- $1301.50

This group knew it was a bad idea back on 10/10/17. 🤔🤔🤔

Well done!!

I did the Island Vibe Tour when I was in T&C, it’s the boat that takes you snorkeling with free lunch and drinks. I don’t remember the price but it was probably somewhere between $60-$100 per person so you’re right on the money.
