In this flavor-packed pilot episode with the Sasso's, Christina, fan of chaos, and Frank, lover of structure—hit the road to Selma, North Carolina for a recording session "in the wild" at JR Cigars.

First Stop: Kicking off their journey with a caffeine-fueled stop at Noir Bakery & Coffee Company in North East, MD, Frank sips the best Americano of his life, while Christina dives into a lotus drink, bourbon dreams in tow.

Rest Stop: Frank is thoroughly betrayed by an automatic toilet at a rest stop and can’t quite grasp the fact why rest stop toilets aren’t adjusted so that they don’t act like a bidet.

Last Stop: Things get smokier at 10 AM as they fire up cigars inside JR Cigars’ location at 67 Jr Rd in Selma, NC. The Sasso's sit down with Cameron Emory, a Navy vet and resident cigar sage, who helps the Sasso's make some wise picks and shares stories from both behind the counter and life on the water.

It’s a little chaos, a lot of class, and a load of laughs—Welcome to Sasso’s Out.

It’s the end of an era!

In the final episode of Trenton Waves, Frank and Christina Sasso sit down with longtime friend and former New Pod City president, Will Foskey for one last wave. With glasses raised—Bardstown Bourbon for Christina and Will and a pour of Dalmore Scotch for Frank—they reminisce about the journey through 200 unforgettable episodes.

From the heartbeat of Trenton’s culture to unforgettable guests, laughs, lessons, and local legends, no memory is left untouched. And just when you think it’s goodbye for good, the Sassos drop a big announcement: Trenton Waves may be wrapping, but they’re not going anywhere (pun intended). Get ready for their next adventure—Sasso’s Out!, a brand new travel show with the same heart, humor, and hometown spirit.

Cheers to the past, and here’s to Sasso's Out!

Frank uses a new piece of technology in the studio to record because he couldn't know what he did with the SD card the show gets recorded on.

Medina Health Center's Mira Sadeghi and Nabeel Khan from last week almost became Frank's favorite guest because of a gift of cannolis.

Once again, Frank explains the what Trenton Waves is about.SHOUT OUT TO:

Podcastia! You wanted him, you got him. That's right, John Palma is back! This time with even more Butterball-Shock Power and carrying a number 4 wrench! While Christina is out getting her hair cut, Frank snuck John into the studio for another idiotic yet informative conversation.

That's right. "Informative".

There's even a caller who was waiting on hold for most of the episode in hopes of Frank checking the phone.
