Tee head agent dialogue mentioned reading Travis McGee novels, and I put two and two together and got 5 it seems. I was unaware of the novels by another author and naturally attributed the reference to our own Travis McGee, AKA Matt Bracken. My bad.
Don’t feel bad, I didn’t know until a few days ago, suspecting that TmG was a character from one of Ayn Rand’s literary bombasts.
