To be asked.

36

:

Although I probably

37

:

erika: should have been.

38

:

Right.

But expect the unexpected.

40

I think that was part

of our pre-interview.

:

The clearer.

64

:

Okay.

65

:

So too long, didn't read.

66

:

I have an employee who was robbed at

dildo point, and I decided to scare her by

67

:

having Brian dress like a clown and jump

out of a closet with a dildo in his hand.

68

:

And, You really should

just listen to episode one.

69

:

I mean,

70

:

kelly: there's much more

to it, but basically.

71

:

Brian stood in a closet with a dildo.

72

:

Mayberry.

73

:

Eric has friend to come in and basically

they pulled like the biggest prank ever on

74

:

Mayberry and it all was good in the end.

75

:

Yeah.

76

:

Listen

77

:

ryan: to the episode.

78

:

Hold on.

79

:

I got smoked.

80

:

First

81

:

kelly: I did

82

:

ryan: forget about.

83

:

She was very much defending her territory.

84

:

This point in

85

:

erika: time.

86

:

Let me ask you this.

87

:

When I asked you, if you would participate

in this prank, was any part of you like.

88

:

Or was it like an immediate fuck?

89

:

ryan: Yeah, I brought the jacket.

90

:

I wore.

91

:

erika: It's true.

92

:

kelly: He said, I'm ready for this.

93

:

I've been waiting.

94

:

erika: I've been waiting for

95

:

kelly: this moment.

96

:

erika: Okay.

97

:

So you were in, would you

consider yourself a prankster.

98

:

ryan: I probably wouldn't have thought of

99

:

erika: that one.

100

:

kelly: Yeah, it was when

she told me about it.

101

:

I was like

102

:

erika: about me than you.

103

:

Yeah.

104

:

I was like, that's what

105

:

ryan: I do love pranks, but that one was

one that, uh, I could've gone into too

106

:

soon category, but it still was fantastic.

107

:

You

108

:

erika: know, you got to

work with what you got.

109

:

And I had 48 hours literally.

110

:

And she was gone.

111

:

It had to be done crazy.

112

:

What was that experience like for you?

113

:

Let's standing and sweating

in a closet for 20 minutes and

114

:

then getting hit with a purse

115

:

ryan: I mean, I stood in sweat

in a closet for 35 years.

116

:

So.

117

:

I wasn't wearing a clown suit.

118

:

Some may argue otherwise, but.

119

:

erika: I did

120

:

kelly: have a question.

121

:

Okay.

122

:

Were you out when you were

standing in the closet with the

123

:

dildo that Erica asked you to do.

124

:

ryan: No, but it was not too long after

125

:

erika: that.

126

:

It was like within a couple of months.

127

:

kelly: Wow.

128

:

How was standing in that closet?

129

:

Being like,

130

:

ryan: it was very eye

131

:

kelly: opening as dark there.

132

:

I bet.

133

:

I bet that was while Metta.

134

:

Yeah.

135

:

ryan: Terrible.

136

:

But this doesn't feel great.

137

:

kelly: Yeah.

138

:

Wow.

139

:

What a, what a crazy, turn of

events that you did that, right?

140

:

Like a couple months before

he came out, that's really

141

:

erika: crazy.

142

:

It was a wild plot trust.

143

:

Brian.

144

:

I remember the story of when

you told your parents, your dad

145

:

having a leery his response.

146

:

Well, Are you.

147

:

Will you share

148

:

ryan: that?

149

:

I feel so bad for him too easily.

150

:

The sweetest people.

151

:

He's the best.

152

:

Yeah.

153

:

We were having dinner.

154

:

It was him, my mom and my aunt.

155

:

. And it just kind of was

like a perfect opportunity.

156

:

It came up and he immediately

got up from the table and left.

157

:

Oh, my God.

158

:

Italian, mom and aunt.

159

:

I want to be looked at Devin Quinn

thought it would've been one of you.

160

:

And next, which was pretty

offensive to them as well.

161

:

And so I just got off.

162

:

Got up and fought him and

he's like, I'm so sorry.

163

:

I've had to pee for like 30.

164

:

I was like, you should've just gone.

165

:

.

Literally right then.

166

:

All right.

167

:

erika: Are you serious?

168

:

I think that's so funny

169

:

ryan: that.

170

:

Um, two, you'd be like, you could see how

mortified he would be in that situation.

171

:

Okay.

172

:

, erika: Brian, you work in banking.

173

:

Yes.

174

:

Is that, did you start

your career in baking?

175

:

ryan: I did not.

176

:

I started my career in

professional sports.

177

:

erika: Okay.

178

:

So then you pivoted from

sports into banking?

179

:

Yes.

180

:

Okay.

181

:

And then you recently got your MBA.

182

:

I did.

183

:

Congrats.

184

:

You did it while working

185

:

ryan: full-time I did.

186

:

Wow.

187

:

It was ended up being a lot of fun.

188

:

I don't know that if you will, you.

189

:

You probably did ask me during it,

if it was fun and it was not, but met

190

:

some pretty cool people and it's been.

191

:

I've been really great

to have under my belt.

192

:

That's

193

:

kelly: amazing.

194

:

erika: I was so impressed.

195

:

I hadn't the whole time I was

just like, you are doing your job.

196

:

Full-time Andrew.

197

:

Yeah, I didn't even go to college.

198

:

I

199

:

kelly: could

200

:

erika: absolutely never do that.

201

:

your work ethic and studiousness

was impressive to observe.

202

:

I think really though, he was like,

we get to go to Australia at the end.

203

:

ryan: That's exactly right.

204

:

And New Zealand

205

:

erika: while we're at it.

206

:

That's amazing.

207

:

kelly: That's

208

:

erika: amazing.

209

:

So Brian, any amusing aspects of

baking that prior to getting into

210

:

it, you were like, I didn't know.

211

:

That's all that one.

212

:

ryan: I think a lot of you

you'd be very surprised at how.

213

:

Baskin focus on the general,

but also whittle all the

214

:

way down to a very specific.

215

:

Industries that you know,

that they landed too.

216

:

And, you know, geographic locations

that you're like, wait a second.

217

:

Why, why is that company.

218

:

Doing anything in California or

Portland, Oregon, or whatever.

219

:

It's.

220

:

Well, they have a focus on transportation

or gaming or environmental services.

221

:

, and a lot of the smaller

banks really do as well.

222

:

So, you know, in Atlanta, you've got.

223

:

, the big dogs, right.

224

:

But then also a lot of the regional

banks that have business all over the

225

:

country and some of them all over the.

226

:

I don't want to say the globe,

but you know, Europe, et cetera.

227

:

So there's a lot more to.

228

:

What we would consider a regional bank.

229

:

, Then there is.

230

:

You know, There's more than meets the eye.

231

:

Let's just say that.

232

:

erika: Yeah.

233

:

That makes sense.

234

:

Kind of boring.

235

:

Um,

236

:

ryan: thanks.

237

:

I didn't say.

238

:

Didn't say it would be a barn

burner, and you knew what I

239

:

did before you gave me a mic.

240

:

erika: So here's my favorite

part about your job, Brian.

241

:

And it's how much you get to

travel on someone else's dime.

242

:

Oh, that's

243

:

kelly: sick.

244

:

ryan: Yeah.

245

:

I mean, I think that's your

favorite part of my job.

246

:

erika: What is, what is your

favorite part of your job?

247

:

ryan: I do.

248

:

I love the fact that I don't sit

behind a desk every single day.

249

:

And that that might be the most

interesting part about banking is.

250

:

When you look at a bank and you

would say that everybody's kind of.

251

:

The old green lamp, like

accounting Greenway.

252

:

They're sitting kind of

hammering type, you know,

253

:

kelly: Calculators.

254

:

It is definitely what I picture.

255

:

I had that lamp when I was

256

:

erika: a little.

257

:

ryan: So, I mean, I think last

year alone, I did 97, Delta

258

:

flights going to see clients.

259

:

And prospects across the country.

260

:

So really having the opportunity to go.

261

:

Whether it's Las Vegas or somewhere

in California or the Northeast.

262

:

You know, th there's a lot of

Albuquerque New Mexico might be one

263

:

of my favorite places in the country.

264

:

Nicole's face when you

say that to like, sure.

265

:

You know, you're just trying to be cool,

like coming up with a place that nobody

266

:

ever brings out, but it's actually a

really neat spot that you wouldn't go to

267

:

unless somebody, you know, kind of told

you, you had to, but then paid for it.

268

:

Yeah.

269

:

It's pretty, pretty cool.

270

:

erika: Wow.

271

:

What's your Delta status.

272

:

kelly: Diamond currently, I was going to

say, do you have like a Gillian sky miles?

273

:

I bet.

274

:

How

275

:

erika: many Wells?

276

:

Yeah.

277

:

You hoard them or do you spend them.

278

:

ryan: Mama's in the amount

of miles I have currently

279

:

erika: he's a million mile or everybody.

280

:

And

281

:

kelly: credible.

282

:

ryan: Okay.

283

:

I do hard them though.

284

:

Did you just ask by hoard the

285

:

erika: miles?

286

:

Yeah.

287

:

'cause I do too.

288

:

I just like the big number.

289

:

I think.

290

:

ryan: I hoard them because they're,

to me they're worth so much more on

291

:

an international trip than they are.

292

:

Oh, yeah.

293

:

kelly: Uh, domestic trip.

294

:

So a million

295

:

erika: percent.

296

:

Yeah.

297

:

So Kelly's in an interesting

situation right now.

298

:

I am Kelly, will you tell

Brian about your honeymoon?

299

:

, kelly: I was gifted my

honeymoon via sky miles.

300

:

It is from my fiance's father.

301

:

Basically.

302

:

We had a snafu.

303

:

And we could only have a certain amount

of SkyMiles each, but we had already

304

:

decided that we wanted to go to France.

305

:

If you travel a lot.

306

:

BIA SkyMiles you would know that you

need, so, so, so, so, so many hundreds

307

:

of thousands to go to France and

back, especially with two people.

308

:

Yeah.

309

:

So, , we did not have that amount

310

:

I was freaking out because we had already

decided we were going to go to France.

311

:

And I mean, obviously that's ridiculously

privileged to say I understand that, but

312

:

I was like, okay, well we'll make it work.

313

:

Like, we'll go somewhere in America,

whatever, like Hawaii let's go to Hawaii.

314

:

That's cool.

315

:

Like.

316

:

Like, I don't know.

317

:

And, um, yeah.

318

:

Anyway my fiance sat

down for like, 12 hours.

319

:

Plus had to be researching flights

and researching some way, shape

320

:

or form for us to get to France.

321

:

So he finds a.

322

:

Okay.

323

:

erika: I'm preemptively laughing.

324

:

Cause I can't wait to see his face.

325

:

When you tell him about your honeymoon.

326

:

It's going

327

:

kelly: to be great.

328

:

So it's

329

:

, ryan: we

330

:

kelly: are going.

331

:

To Romania.

332

:

Then Barcelona.

333

:

Then.

334

:

Marcee Leone, Paris.

335

:

London.

336

:

Back through New York.

337

:

Back to Georgia.

338

:

Oh, and we're traveling to Amsterdam in

between there, somewhere on a layover.

339

:

So you'll have

340

:

ryan: diamond status.

341

:

kelly: But I swear, like

we made it work with.

342

:

Now to sky miles we have, which is.

343

:

erika: That's awesome.

344

:

And your life to travel like that.

345

:

Yeah.

346

:

Like you.

347

:

I don't know how to say this,

not snobbery, but like your

348

:

standards will only go up as

you age and as your progress.

349

:

So this is the time in

your life where we can.

350

:

July all over.

351

:

Crazy adventure for you.

352

:

The scene that you're going to France.

353

:

Romania.

354

:

But what a

355

:

kelly: story?

356

:

And we have like Airbnb's

booked in all the locations.

357

:

I'm really like, I'm really excited.

358

:

I think it'd be

359

:

ryan: going to be,

360

:

erika: we will be.

361

:

Um, so this kind of

leads us into like a big.

362

:

The segment that I want to focus on with

you here, Brian, because you and I am.

363

:

Both love to travel and

we both enjoy a certain.

364

:

Level of travel that we've spent

years refining and exploring.

365

:

So, uh, it's a great way to put it.

366

:

But I think with this episode, I want

to share some travel tips and travel

367

:

hacks and just kind of , I travel a lot

alone and I have clients all the time

368

:

who were like, man, I just, where do you

even begin planning a trip like that?

369

:

How do you do it?

370

:

I would be so intimidated.

371

:

And I think that people place

a lot of barriers in between.

372

:

Themselves and trips that they would love

to take that actually aren't a big deal.

373

:

You know what I mean?

374

:

So one of the things I always tell

people is When you're planning a

375

:

trip, you have to pick your tightest

perimeter, whether it's, I only have

376

:

five days, . Only have $2,000, you know

what I mean, pick that number one thing.

377

:

And then from there you pick the

second thing, like, oh, I really want

378

:

to see the two lips in Amsterdam.

379

:

, and then you just kind of whittle away.

380

:

You're planning and then you've got

a trip and then just fucking book it.

381

:

ryan: I totally agree with that.

382

:

I traveled by myself a lot as

well, but then have traveled

383

:

internationally with friends.

384

:

, a bunch of times as well.

385

:

, I would say one thing, I would say the

hardest part of going from traveling

386

:

solo to traveling with a group.

387

:

Is making sure that you realize

that you're with a group and

388

:

like, Help your friend's wife.

389

:

Take her bag off the Trent.

390

:

I hope you do.

391

:

Um, cause I mean, no,

but I mean that, those.

392

:

But I actually mean that it's, you have

to make a conscious effort to be like,

393

:

okay, I'm in a group, I'm in a group.

394

:

And I have to remember I'm in a group

and especially going through, you

395

:

know, a big international airport.

396

:

A lot of people don't always do it.

397

:

We are lucky enough to have,

and that it's just different.

398

:

But when you're by yourself,

You kinda like, I know my bag.

399

:

I know it's in it.

400

:

I know what this is going to look like.

401

:

I have global entry coming home.

402

:

That's really where I cut off the group.

403

:

Usually at that point, though.

404

:

Well, see you later.

405

:

erika: Well, so that leads me to

one of my questions I wrote here.

406

:

, If you have, let's say clear

TSA, pre-check global entry.

407

:

You've got all of these things

that you and I have because

408

:

we are a frequent travelers.

409

:

But you're traveling with somebody

who maybe doesn't have status

410

:

or doesn't have these perks.

411

:

Do you say, see it at the gate or do you

go through regular security with them?

412

:

kelly: See you at the gate.

413

:

Yeah, I would do see you at the gate.

414

:

I don't even have those privileges, but if

I did, I'd be like, bye, but just, yeah.

415

:

ryan: I unless they need help

of some sort, you know, it's.

416

:

They have a kid and they could

really use a second set of hands

417

:

and you can stay in, however,

418

:

erika: be traveling internationally

with somebody, with a kid.

419

:

On purpose.

420

:

Just the two of you.

421

:

No.

422

:

ryan: No, no, but I'm just saying.

423

:

No, absolutely.

424

:

See you at the gate.

425

:

Okay.

426

:

I think there's too many things that

can go wrong in a security line.

427

:

That.

428

:

You know, This is not my fault.

429

:

So I'll see you there I'll get

seats or I'll see you in the lounge.

430

:

I'll get you a drink, like we'll

see you when, when you get in there.

431

:

erika: So once you get to the airport,

it's every man for himself to the gate.

432

:

Yeah,

433

:

kelly: my opinion.

434

:

That's kinda how I feel too.

435

:

I though, however, if like, if Spencer.

436

:

If Spencer's my fiance.

437

:

They already know that though.

438

:

If I'm.

439

:

erika: Are you engaged in this.

440

:

ryan: And you're going to

441

:

kelly: Romania.

442

:

If, uh, if Spencer ever were to say,

see you at the gates me, I'd be like,

443

:

ah, like you are sticking with me.

444

:

Like, I'd be really pissed about that.

445

:

So that's a

446

:

erika: circumstance.

447

:

That leads me to another question.

448

:

That was as a mixed status, couple work.

449

:

ryan: So, so here I do

have an answer on this.

450

:

I hope.

451

:

erika: That's a

452

:

ryan: good, that'd be good question.

453

:

This happened.

454

:

This happened to me this year

with a friend of mine going

455

:

with me to the Dominican.

456

:

The ticket went under my SkyMiles number.

457

:

She has a sky miles number.

458

:

But then she.

459

:

Because it's on everything.

460

:

Um, Reservation was under

my sky miles number.

461

:

She then had the equivalent of diamond.

462

:

Status for our trip.

463

:

And we'd both got upgraded.

464

:

. So I think in that situation, yes.

465

:

But.

466

:

erika: Hmm.

467

:

What about generally speaking,

like you're a diamond medallion.

468

:

You start dating somebody you really

like, and they are a Southwest bitch.

469

:

Like, can that relationship work?

470

:

Oh my God.

471

:

How

472

:

ryan: would you like that?

473

:

erika: I wouldn't.

474

:

I know my answer.

475

:

ryan: Um, it's it.

476

:

I mean, that's tough if you're,

I mean, obviously we live here

477

:

in Atlanta and so Delta's.

478

:

Kind of we're kind of pot

committed there at this point.

479

:

,

I think it would be really hard if.

480

:

If you're her significant other

had a real strong opinion on.

481

:

Flying.

482

:

Southwest or spirit or.

483

:

What

484

:

kelly: question would be?

485

:

Why?

486

:

Like, if they give me

487

:

erika: my date, them.

488

:

kelly: Like, why are they so like the,

it, they're just wrong to be honest.

489

:

Like, if somebody, if like

Spencer was a Southwest bitch,

490

:

I'd be like, I be like, no, the

491

:

erika: answer is no.

492

:

Yeah.

493

:

It's like saying you'd rather

eat at McDonald's than.

494

:

French laundry.

495

:

kelly: It's like the

argument doesn't make sense.

496

:

Like the, you could

never win this argument.

497

:

I

498

:

erika: agree.

499

:

And I think anytime I've traveled with

somebody platonically or otherwise,

500

:

And I've compromised on my travel

standards to make them more comfortable.

501

:

I have always regretted it.

502

:

But there's also that thing of like,

oh, I don't want to look like a bitch.

503

:

But I also traveled the way

I like to travel based on

504

:

years of personal experience.

505

:

And, You know, little things like,

oh, I don't want to pay a little

506

:

extra to have a direct flight.

507

:

I'm fine.

508

:

With the layover when it's like, the last

thing I want to do is have a layover.

509

:

You know, and things like that.

510

:

And it's like, I always

end up regretting it.

511

:

And so I guess it kind of just comes

down to like , when it's a romantic

512

:

relationship, I think, that's totally

different than just like friends or

513

:

whatever, but it's like, At what point

do you compromise is Love's worth

514

:

compromising your travel standards.

515

:

That's what I'm trying to say.

516

:

And maybe I'm actively

figuring out why I'm single.

517

:

ryan: I haven't gotten

into that battle yet.

518

:

So I can't tell ya.

519

:

kelly: So, yeah.

520

:

You guys should not worry though,

because whoever y'all date.

521

:

They are going to be.

522

:

On Delta with you.

523

:

Like, I don't think you should

worry about this situation.

524

:

Because I think you would just

know, you know, you'd be like,

525

:

ryan: you know what?

526

:

I am not actively worried about this

527

:

erika: by any stretch.

528

:

That leads me to a.

529

:

I want to do a flash round of Erica's

travel hacks and tips and complaints.

530

:

And I'm going to just kind

of breeze through this list.

531

:

But if I say something where

you're like boss elaborate or

532

:

Oop don't agree or anything like

that, feel free to interject.

533

:

And I was just kind of like, I

was just kind of spit balling

534

:

to myself in my notes app.

535

:

, just like things that people should.

536

:

Do

537

:

So I'm going to go through this list

and I'm curious what you all think.

538

:

And like I said, just

feel free to interject.

539

:

If you feel inspired.

540

:

My top travel tips.

541

:

Colon.

542

:

I always put an ear tag in checked bags.

543

:

I think that.

544

:

Sorry.

545

:

I already have a thought.

546

:

Aye.

547

:

Okay.

548

:

I don't know, I'm a broke bitch.

549

:

Like I'm not going to go and buy

air tags where everything, you know,

550

:

what costs more than an air tag.

551

:

My luggage, replacing everything on your

legs when you never see it again, you

552

:

should never check a bat without an ear.

553

:

Let me rephrase that.

554

:

I totally agree.

555

:

Never check a bag without an ear tag.

556

:

Okay.

557

:

Okay.

558

:

, The second tip is going

to piggyback on that.

559

:

, take pictures of the

contents of your checked bag.

560

:

Okay.

561

:

That I could do for free.

562

:

Hold on.

563

:

I would also interject here for a second.

564

:

Try not to check a bag.

565

:

Yes.

566

:

I agree with that carry on his life.

567

:

That's a better, anytime you're

separated from your belongings.

568

:

There's a risk for things to go wrong.

569

:

I just don't normally pack

like a bunch of stuff.

570

:

I overly love.

571

:

Well, that's weird.

572

:

I'm like, if this gets lost, like I

need to, I need to be able to let go.

573

:

Okay, . How do you know, you're not going

to need a Tiffany bracelet and Romania.

574

:

Oh, my God.

575

:

I'll wear it on my person.

576

:

Okay.

577

:

Put it all down.

578

:

Moving on.

579

:

I never checked valuables and by

valuables, I mean, medication Juul.

580

:

Anything that you are going to be sad

if it goes missing, but I can't tell

581

:

you how many people are like, oh, it's

a short flight and they check their

582

:

medication and then their bag goes

missing or their bag gets delayed.

583

:

Even if you've got that ear tag.

584

:

And you're like, oh my bag's in Houston.

585

:

And I'm in Romania.

586

:

Like, even if you know where your bag

is and you will get it back problematic.

587

:

So just be smart about.

588

:

Very good.

589

:

The medication one, I

like, because I need those.

590

:

Yeah, absolutely.

591

:

It's very important.

592

:

Did you get this list from

sitting in front of a gate agent?

593

:

No.

594

:

This is just pretty sure that's

the first thing they tell you.

595

:

If they're going to gate check your bag.

596

:

Oh, take your bag.

597

:

I've never, ever gate

checked, but I don't.

598

:

I like this bag.

599

:

He was walking by.

600

:

At one point.

601

:

Well, here's the thing too.

602

:

You guys are such snobs.

603

:

Yeah.

604

:

Little snobs.

605

:

Well, researched snobs.

606

:

Like this is all based at least.

607

:

Yeah.

608

:

Or these are.

609

:

Yeah, this isn't hypothetical.

610

:

We have a friend who had a bad go.

611

:

Missing, filled with thousands of

dollars of, uh, important items.

612

:

She can't replace.

613

:

Why why.

614

:

Checked it on her.

615

:

So like she said, Um, and she did not,

she did not have an air tag because

616

:

she was not planning on tracking it.

617

:

Right.

618

:

Yep.

619

:

Um, and then she never

got, she never got it back.

620

:

And did she, she got a check for

a fraction of the value of it.

621

:

I've had an air tag in it

and it was like, I think

622

:

you can see it leaving the airport.

623

:

Yeah.

624

:

That's like, what's going on.

625

:

Yeah.

626

:

I think you're right.

627

:

I remember that now.

628

:

Like someone stole it.

629

:

Yeah.

630

:

Just like off the carousel.

631

:

So this happens.

632

:

So the air tag, I mean, I know

you don't want to buy an ear tag,

633

:

but like just fucking binder, two.

634

:

, you're getting married.

635

:

You're registered.

636

:

A hundred bucks or something.

637

:

Yeah.

638

:

Like treat yourself.

639

:

, you only have to buy it once.

640

:

Like once you have it, you have it.

641

:

, I have.

642

:

I have one it's on my dog.

643

:

I saved a bunch of miles.

644

:

Use some of those.

645

:

Yeah.

646

:

Um, okay.

647

:

Back to my list.

648

:

This is one of my favorite little things.

649

:

If you're traveling somewhere and

you know, you're going to do a lot of

650

:

shopping, I like to pack a carry on.

651

:

Size bag and then put it inside a

checked bag and then check both.

652

:

And then when I get over

there, I separate them.

653

:

And then I fill the check back with

everything I bought and then I carry

654

:

on the carry on bag on the way back.

655

:

Wow.

656

:

Yeah.

657

:

But this is for, if you're going,

you know, look, I am a luxury

658

:

shopper, but I'm also cheap.

659

:

So I only buy high-end goods in Europe

so that I can save on the VAT tax, which

660

:

everyone listening, if you see me with

the Louis Vuitton bag, it was a discount.

661

:

,

, I love a hack.

662

:

, but you know, it's like, they give

you these, these bags and these

663

:

beautiful boxes and stuff like that.

664

:

I'm like, I don't want to throw it away.

665

:

, and I just am a shopper, so I just

know I'm going to shop and I can't

666

:

tell you how many times I've been

like, Ooh, I have to buy a suitcase,

667

:

a random suitcase on the sidewalk

and Amsterdam it's like just preplan.

668

:

okay.

669

:

Always travel and close toed shoes.

670

:

Oh, I do that.

671

:

Okay.

672

:

No need to elaborate on

why everybody's smart here.

673

:

Yep.

674

:

Yeah.

675

:

Thank you.

676

:

Um, the mic.

677

:

Never go to the lab without your shoes on.

678

:

Oh, correct.

679

:

Or the socks?

680

:

Yes.

681

:

The socks in the lab is disgusting.

682

:

And I'll never take your socks and

nobody wants to see feet on a plane.

683

:

Oh, leave your shoes on.

684

:

You're close toed shoes on.

685

:

The bulkhead.

686

:

Respect the bulkhead.

687

:

What, what do people, what does that mean?

688

:

I was going to say, take your shoes off

and put your feet up on the bulkhead.

689

:

What is the bulkhead?

690

:

It's the wall that separates.

691

:

Different areas of the plane.

692

:

Usually between first and comfort.

693

:

Yeah.

694

:

So the seats that don't have other

seats in front of them, Yeah.

695

:

Kelly looks confused.

696

:

Do you know what we mean?

697

:

I think so.

698

:

I, yeah, it's gross.

699

:

Yeah, go.

700

:

Correct.

701

:

I also, the only thing that I've

experienced that I really, really,

702

:

really, really hate on planes is like,

well, obviously the COVID era has

703

:

been like the past several years and

when people are just like so sick.

704

:

Yes, where it's so visible,

you can see them sweating.

705

:

They're coughing.

706

:

They're like nauseous.

707

:

They're curled up in a ball.

708

:

I'm like, woo.

709

:

Get away from me like that disgusts me.

710

:

So that's what those people are hung over.

711

:

Some of those people are Brian.

712

:

Well, I hope that was the case.

713

:

Here's one thing that I really like

about the post COVID travel era.

714

:

Is, I will never travel

again without a mask.

715

:

If you're fine, but the person next to

you looks like what you just described.

716

:

I would put a mask on that was

happening to me on the plane.

717

:

I didn't have a mask

because like, I don't.

718

:

I was fine, whatever.

719

:

Um, and this woman looked so sick.

720

:

And so I asked the stewardess, I was

like, do you guys have extra masks?

721

:

Like I really need.

722

:

I don't want to be

breathing this in right now.

723

:

Yeah.

724

:

It was always troubled.

725

:

It's awful.

726

:

There's also shockingly, still

places internationally that

727

:

require masks in the airport.

728

:

So.

729

:

I mean, it makes sense.

730

:

. I agree.

731

:

It's just like the inconsistency

from airport to airports.

732

:

Weird.

733

:

So it's like, you just,

just always have a mask.

734

:

Yeah.

735

:

Totally.

736

:

The takeaway.

737

:

, okay.

738

:

The middle seat.

739

:

Always gets the armrests.

740

:

Yeah.

741

:

Yeah.

742

:

People don't realize that I knew that one.

743

:

Wow.

744

:

I'm sure somebody listening

has been in a middle seat.

745

:

Like mameed because there's

somebody on the right and

746

:

left to taking their armrest.

747

:

I'd go.

748

:

Yeah.

749

:

So it's like the only thing worse than

being in a middle seat to begin with is

750

:

being in middle seat with no arm rests.

751

:

, So that's no further explanation needed.

752

:

, don't be on your phone, on a flight.

753

:

Don't have your phone on

speakerphone on a flight.

754

:

Don't be on FaceTime.

755

:

During boarding, nobody wants to

be in the background of your video.

756

:

At all.

757

:

Break your shoes in before you go on

a big trip, looking at you, Romania.

758

:

Bring an empty water bottle, especially

if you're traveling on a budget because

759

:

you can fill it up at your hotels

breakfast, and then you've got fresh

760

:

filtered water all day and you don't

have to go spend $5 on a bottle of water.

761

:

That's one of my favorite

things, especially if you're

762

:

somewhere that's . Like a casual.

763

:

Yeah.

764

:

Active trip.

765

:

That's a good plastic.

766

:

Airports now have the water bottle.

767

:

Station next to the

water fountain as well.

768

:

Yeah.

769

:

I love it.

770

:

It's so good.

771

:

So you just had, it obviously

has to be empty going through

772

:

security and then you just fill

it up and you're like, good to go.

773

:

And like in Norway, for example, like

the tap water is better than Fiji.

774

:

So I just would fill up my water bottle

from the tap and have water for the day.

775

:

Exchange your money before

you go on an international

776

:

trip for better rates, right?

777

:

We need to do that.

778

:

Hosed at the airports.

779

:

, No short skirts or dresses at an airport.

780

:

I went to her pants exclusively.

781

:

I'm.

782

:

Gosh.

783

:

A hashtag same.

784

:

Um, uh, but dresses, I can't

tell you how many women have been

785

:

on an escalator in front of me.

786

:

And I'm like, Ooh, the world can see your

world and that's just not appropriate.

787

:

Also people are disgusting.

788

:

Like you don't want your bare thighs

sitting on a seat that like, God.

789

:

Yes.

790

:

So just don't be gross.

791

:

I'm also like, I just, my

biggest priority when I'm flying

792

:

is, , Not having my stomach hurt.

793

:

That's like my biggest thing,

I'm like, I will eat healthy.

794

:

I will drink enough water.

795

:

Like I do not want my stomach

to be nauseous on this plane.

796

:

Like that is my biggest fear.

797

:

And so a big factor of that.

798

:

His sweatpants.

799

:

Oh, cause you're just like losing company.

800

:

Yeah.

801

:

I'm like, I need.

802

:

The outfit I need to.

803

:

Feel healthy, all the, like

all the things I'm very.

804

:

So if either of you have

been on the internet today,

805

:

What do you want to take it from here?

806

:

No, I'll just jump in.

807

:

Okay.

808

:

But there's a flight from Atlanta to

Barcelona that had to return to sender.

809

:

A patron had diarrhea.

810

:

Like trickled and down the

Isles to, and from the bathroom.

811

:

And it was a biohazard.

812

:

Listening to the.

813

:

The flight crew in the cockpit recorder.

814

:

Yeah.

815

:

Uh, we've got to come back.

816

:

It's your traffic control.

817

:

Trying to figure out why.

818

:

Oh, Pilot.

819

:

Oh my God.

820

:

Yeah.

821

:

That this is exactly what just happened.

822

:

I saw a tick talk and they said they

tried to clean it up with like vanilla

823

:

scented carpet cleaner, and that the

plane just smoked like vanilla and shit.

824

:

And it just like weak.

825

:

Cannot do this.

826

:

For how many more hours?

827

:

Like.

828

:

That's genuinely my biggest fear.

829

:

Yeah.

830

:

It's something like that.

831

:

That is the worst

possible thing to happen.

832

:

What did.

833

:

The worst possible thing to happen.

834

:

Waiting for your friends

and the security line.

835

:

So you can't have an airport beer.

836

:

That's my travel tip.

837

:

Bring Pepto everywhere just in

case your stomach really hurts.

838

:

Yeah.

839

:

I'm a big fan of that.

840

:

Me too.

841

:

Best friend loves my best

friend, loves Immodium, and she

842

:

likes to play airport roulette.

843

:

Like this bitch will eat like

a bisque in the skylight.

844

:

And I'm just like, Hey, you are brave.

845

:

It's funny.

846

:

We're going to do an episode about my.

847

:

A trip I spent a month in

south America and it ended with

848

:

this topic, um, uh, Teaser.

849

:

But just.

850

:

Prepare to be horrified.

851

:

This is making me anxious.

852

:

Yeah, so.

853

:

My hands are sweating.

854

:

If you're somebody that is prone

to an upset stomach, though,

855

:

you're a hundred percent correct.

856

:

Like don't go out of town

without Imodium Pepto.

857

:

Like whatever that like.

858

:

I genuinely carry it.

859

:

I'm like, I do not want to get ill.

860

:

Yeah.

861

:

That's reasonable.

862

:

Nobody wants you to get all like, yeah.

863

:

Kidding.

864

:

We all agree.

865

:

Um, okay.

866

:

Next one.

867

:

Do not.

868

:

I put this in all capital letters.

869

:

Do not recline your seat

on a non overnight flight,

870

:

especially at during service.

871

:

The number of people who kicked

back their seats for a under

872

:

two hour flight is insane to me.

873

:

And especially in coach,

like you have no room.

874

:

Yeah.

875

:

The person behind you can't

like see the screen or like

876

:

put their tablet on the thing.

877

:

It's just inconsiderate an unnecessary.

878

:

Unless you've got some sort of medical

thing or like, you know, there's some

879

:

sort of extenuating, extenuating.

880

:

X

881

:

extenuating circumstances.

882

:

It's just inconsiderate.

883

:

I would say on that too.

884

:

I mean, we live in a world right

now where your employer's expecting

885

:

a lot of people to be working on.

886

:

Absolutely.

887

:

And if you recline your seat,

there's not a chance a person

888

:

can fire up their laptops.

889

:

Not only are you making

them uncomfortable?

890

:

You're hosing them from a

working standpoint as well.

891

:

Yeah, it doesn't even

make you more comfortable.

892

:

It just really screws over

the person sitting behind you.

893

:

Yeah.

894

:

It's just inconsiderate and Especially

when there's meal service and it's

895

:

like, put your fucking seat up.

896

:

Like you.

897

:

You see this court coming?

898

:

Like, what do you think

is happening behind you?

899

:

, I think a lot of travel tips, or just

like, be aware of your impact in a

900

:

society that you're in and realize

the world doesn't revolve around you

901

:

and just be considerate of how your

actions impact people around you,

902

:

especially when you're traveling abroad.

903

:

Yeah.

904

:

If I have my AirPods in,

don't try and talk to me for

905

:

the four and a half hour for.

906

:

Universal sign of please.

907

:

Don't.

908

:

And yet, so many people want to chat.

909

:

Okay.

910

:

If you snore loudly and

you know what I mean?

911

:

When I say loudly, you do not

get to sleep on the flight.

912

:

You don't.

913

:

I cannot tell you how

many overnight flights.

914

:

I have not been able to sleep on

915

:

because Carl behind me, it's

snoring like a freight train.

916

:

That's like literally vibrating my

seat and through noise, canceling

917

:

headphones, I can hear a chance

off totally inconsiderate and

918

:

there's travel C-PAP machines.

919

:

So like, if, if it's that bad and you want

to sleep, . Again, you have to be mindful

920

:

of how your presence impacts others.

921

:

And when you're in a tight

cabin with other people, no.

922

:

I think a lot of these.

923

:

Acts go forward with just living anywhere.

924

:

Yeah.

925

:

Don't be a Dick, but you.

926

:

, yeah, spatial awareness

stopping in the middle of Isles

927

:

excavation point excavation.

928

:

X-Force.

929

:

Especially if you have a carry

on bag and you're like wheeling

930

:

a bag behind you do not fucking

stop in the middle of a walkway.

931

:

It is so rude.

932

:

Oh, and my knee, my last thing was about,

, Buying luxury goods abroad, which let us

933

:

know if you want to hear more about that.

934

:

Maybe I can do like a whole episode

about travel, hacking, luxury goods.

935

:

Cause it's, it's a lot to talk about,

but it's also really interesting.

936

:

And one of my favorite sports.

937

:

, so those are kind of my top tips.

938

:

Wow.

939

:

Brian, is there anything

I didn't list that.

940

:

Is in your top tips.

941

:

I don't think we talked enough

about, , on plane things.

942

:

So Delta is really good

with the seatback and now.

943

:

, video screens and there's a lot

of different things you can watch.

944

:

, They give you headphones now, but.

945

:

Not all the plans have them

and they don't always work.

946

:

So.

947

:

Yeah, always have, I've just always have

something to keep yourself occupied.

948

:

Throughout a flight, regardless of it's an

hour and a half or six and a half hours.

949

:

Because.

950

:

You're going to be miserable

and the wifi might not work.

951

:

So you might not be able to

stream something on your phone.

952

:

So.

953

:

You know, buy a book.

954

:

I have two follow up comments to that.

955

:

, the first one is if your

entertainment doesn't work.

956

:

Complain about it and

you're gonna get some miles.

957

:

Yeah, look, I've gotten, I mean, Delta

will just like hand out 10,000 miles,

958

:

like their candy, if you're just

like, oh, you couldn't watch a movie.

959

:

And they're like, sorry, here's a miles.

960

:

Um, the other thing is I have a Bluetooth

adapter that you put in the headphone

961

:

Jack on the display, and it can send

that audio to your own headphones.

962

:

So if for whatever reason, they

don't have headphones, like Brian was

963

:

saying, , you're like, Hmm, I got this.

964

:

And then you're not like

corded to the fucking.

965

:

Seat in front of you because EV

and your headphones are probably

966

:

better quality than the little

chintzy ones they give you.

967

:

So I love traveling without.

968

:

What's that called like an ox Bluetooth.

969

:

Adopted.

970

:

It's pretty cool.

971

:

I forgot where I got mine, but

they're not that expensive either.

972

:

It's worth it.

973

:

Yeah.

974

:

If you travel a bunch, it's worth

the, uh, Worth the expense for sure.

975

:

Yeah, those headphones

do really hurt my ears.

976

:

The ones.

977

:

Yeah.

978

:

They're like always weird.

979

:

Yeah.

980

:

They always hurt.

981

:

Yeah.

982

:

, I never read.

983

:

I'm just a terrible reader.

984

:

I just like just, I get my

best reading done on planes.

985

:

I don't know what it is.

986

:

I just can sit there.

987

:

And focus so hard.

988

:

And I, because when I'm at

home, I go to read because there

989

:

are books that I want to read.

990

:

Like I have them, they exist in my house.

991

:

Okay.

992

:

But I will get a couple chapters in.

993

:

For all books and it's terrible,

but I will sit on a plane and read

994

:

the entire book cover to cover.

995

:

And be fine and love it

and super enjoy myself.

996

:

I think that's great.

997

:

It's wild.

998

:

So I try it.

999

:

I like all the books I

read in a year or only.

:

00:35:29,410 --> 00:35:30,640

Like, if there's a book, it.

:

00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,610

It's only getting read then I it's funny.

:

00:35:33,790 --> 00:35:34,180

It's a good thing.

:

00:35:34,180 --> 00:35:35,320

You're taking six flights.

:

00:35:36,070 --> 00:35:36,610

Yeah.

:

00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,670

But lots of books, Kindle.

:

00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:39,880

Yeah.

:

00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:40,870

Yeah, yeah.

:

00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:41,740

That's true.

:

00:35:42,190 --> 00:35:42,520

At Kelly.

:

00:35:42,550 --> 00:35:43,960

Did you know that on Spotify?

:

00:35:43,990 --> 00:35:47,850

There is like a ambient sound you can

do with it's plain white noise and it

:

00:35:47,850 --> 00:35:50,490

makes you put it in your headphones, like

noise canceling headphones, and it makes

:

00:35:50,490 --> 00:35:51,900

it sound like you're on a plane though.

:

00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:52,950

Do that at home.

:

00:35:53,010 --> 00:35:55,440

I also like that noise.

:

00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,030

I can fall asleep to really easily.

:

00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:58,830

Absolutely so nice.

:

00:35:59,190 --> 00:35:59,790

That's a great noise.

:

00:36:00,230 --> 00:36:03,290

Brian, what's the craziest thing

you've observed at an airport.

:

00:36:04,070 --> 00:36:04,790

Or on a flight.

:

00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:07,640

I mean, me and my brother

almost got arrested in Hawaii.

:

00:36:08,450 --> 00:36:09,200

Let's go.

:

00:36:09,530 --> 00:36:10,310

They thought we had.

:

00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:11,986

I said bomb.

:

00:36:12,316 --> 00:36:13,936

And we had not, what did he say?

:

00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,310

It's not really that important, but.

:

00:36:17,380 --> 00:36:18,040

That was pretty.

:

00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:19,060

That was pretty nuts.

:

00:36:19,090 --> 00:36:21,970

, it was on my parents like

30th wedding anniversary trip.

:

00:36:22,030 --> 00:36:23,230

Wow.

:

00:36:23,260 --> 00:36:23,710

So.

:

00:36:24,170 --> 00:36:28,160

, they were not super thrilled that

their two sons were almost in the.

:

00:36:28,820 --> 00:36:30,170

You know, penitentiary and.

:

00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,570

But that's wild.

:

00:36:33,050 --> 00:36:34,400

Yeah, that was pretty crazy.

:

00:36:35,540 --> 00:36:36,020

I've been on it.

:

00:36:36,290 --> 00:36:39,860

I've been on a flight that, uh,

has gotten struck by lightning.

:

00:36:39,950 --> 00:36:42,620

Oh, What happens?

:

00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,070

The pilot, I think the pilot gave

us a little too much information.

:

00:36:47,330 --> 00:36:48,380

I hate when they do.

:

00:36:48,770 --> 00:36:52,340

The letters and stuff home,

and which to me was, oh, fuck.

:

00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,560

You may need to edit this out.

:

00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,000

But to me it was a little.

:

00:36:56,780 --> 00:36:57,290

Traumatic.

:

00:36:58,370 --> 00:37:01,070

I don't know if you're writing

a letter on a piece of paper.

:

00:37:01,070 --> 00:37:02,570

It's probably not going

to fucking get there.

:

00:37:03,380 --> 00:37:06,260

Um, and the words of Ron white,

you know, the planes getting all

:

00:37:06,260 --> 00:37:07,670

the way to the scene of the crash.

:

00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,640

Yeah, look, what would hot?

:

00:37:10,670 --> 00:37:11,360

Like that's.

:

00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:17,510

And what I like, and I bet we're going

to beat the paramedics by 20 minutes.

:

00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,180

So it's, that's a Ron white skit, but.

:

00:37:20,540 --> 00:37:21,140

Yeah.

:

00:37:22,220 --> 00:37:22,430

No.

:

00:37:22,430 --> 00:37:22,610

So.

:

00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,050

That was kind of crazy that.

:

00:37:24,380 --> 00:37:26,240

Uh, instruments went out and came back.

:

00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,190

That's insane.

:

00:37:27,580 --> 00:37:31,420

Like I literally just, I guess we were

going to my friend's wedding in Florida.

:

00:37:31,420 --> 00:37:34,840

So I had, there was like eight other

friends of mine on this flight.

:

00:37:35,020 --> 00:37:37,270

And I was sitting next to my

friend, Christine, and we were

:

00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:38,830

like, I mean, I get it, but.

:

00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:41,830

It's not gonna work.

:

00:37:41,830 --> 00:37:42,130

Yeah.

:

00:37:42,190 --> 00:37:43,570

Wait, so what happened?

:

00:37:43,570 --> 00:37:44,290

What the.

:

00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,100

The pilot was like, oh, all my

instruments stopped working.

:

00:37:48,610 --> 00:37:50,830

But they came back on really quickly.

:

00:37:51,220 --> 00:37:55,283

But we can't a hundred percent

be sure that they're correct.

:

00:37:55,523 --> 00:37:57,623

Could you feel like, did

you know when it happened?

:

00:37:57,683 --> 00:37:57,983

Yeah.

:

00:37:58,883 --> 00:38:00,593

Oh, the plane like shuttered.

:

00:38:00,983 --> 00:38:03,383

I didn't know, it was like that

we got struck by lightning and.

:

00:38:04,403 --> 00:38:06,353

As I said fly pretty much every week.

:

00:38:06,983 --> 00:38:07,883

So that's.

:

00:38:08,693 --> 00:38:12,533

Not normal turbulence, trying

to get up above a thunder storm.

:

00:38:12,563 --> 00:38:12,863

Right.

:

00:38:13,133 --> 00:38:13,733

And.

:

00:38:13,733 --> 00:38:13,943

Yeah.

:

00:38:14,033 --> 00:38:18,143

Then he told us we've got a lot of

fuel, but we're going to go down.

:

00:38:18,233 --> 00:38:18,503

I think.

:

00:38:18,743 --> 00:38:21,383

JFK as like the longest

runway on the east coast.

:

00:38:21,983 --> 00:38:25,853

And we're going to circle and circle and

circle, and basically you can't dump fuel.

:

00:38:25,882 --> 00:38:29,432

I think unless it's a super, super

emergency, you've got to burn it off.

:

00:38:30,002 --> 00:38:31,742

Now, these are all things

that were being told.

:

00:38:33,032 --> 00:38:35,132

So if you're listening to

this and you're like, you guys

:

00:38:35,132 --> 00:38:36,692

are, they were full of shit.

:

00:38:37,442 --> 00:38:37,772

Sorry.

:

00:38:37,802 --> 00:38:38,342

Sorry.

:

00:38:38,402 --> 00:38:39,182

Yeah, let us know.

:

00:38:39,722 --> 00:38:43,982

Um, this was 12 years ago, but, um,

I would actually would be curious.

:

00:38:43,982 --> 00:38:44,612

Yeah, it's true.

:

00:38:45,122 --> 00:38:48,812

By the time we got to JFK and

had burned enough fuel the storm

:

00:38:48,842 --> 00:38:51,302

from Boston had made it to JFK.

:

00:38:51,602 --> 00:38:51,872

Great.

:

00:38:53,252 --> 00:38:55,382

So they were like, I will

just go to Newark real quick.

:

00:38:55,382 --> 00:38:55,652

Okay.

:

00:38:55,652 --> 00:38:56,192

Bye.

:

00:38:57,092 --> 00:38:58,112

Landon Newark.

:

00:38:58,532 --> 00:38:59,912

Fire trucks and everything.

:

00:39:00,722 --> 00:39:01,802

Wow.

:

00:39:01,832 --> 00:39:02,012

Yeah.

:

00:39:02,192 --> 00:39:02,912

You're sitting there though.

:

00:39:03,212 --> 00:39:06,872

We're going to JFK because it's

got the best emergency services

:

00:39:06,872 --> 00:39:08,222

and it's got the best runway.

:

00:39:08,222 --> 00:39:10,142

And then like psych,

we're going to New Jersey.

:

00:39:11,402 --> 00:39:12,062

Okay, which.

:

00:39:12,152 --> 00:39:13,952

We were not super excited, excited.

:

00:39:14,162 --> 00:39:18,422

I know, I don't like I've been on

a flight one time where the pilot

:

00:39:18,422 --> 00:39:20,672

was really, really descriptive.

:

00:39:20,972 --> 00:39:23,522

And I, I think it was just

like a storm or something.

:

00:39:24,002 --> 00:39:28,592

Nothing like that happened to me,

but they were just so descriptive.

:

00:39:28,592 --> 00:39:31,562

And I remember getting so nervous

and being like, I would have been

:

00:39:31,592 --> 00:39:33,902

fine if you didn't say anything.

:

00:39:33,932 --> 00:39:34,352

Yeah.

:

00:39:34,382 --> 00:39:37,502

Like we had no clue what's happening.

:

00:39:37,712 --> 00:39:41,282

And I mean, I do appreciate knowing

all of the information like, oh,

:

00:39:41,282 --> 00:39:45,062

I don't, but if the, if there's

something like you, the plane.

:

00:39:45,062 --> 00:39:46,322

Uh, stutters or whatever.

:

00:39:46,982 --> 00:39:49,472

But like, if that happens, then yeah.

:

00:39:49,502 --> 00:39:53,462

I want to know what the fuck that

just was, but I don't, I want to hear.

:

00:39:53,942 --> 00:39:55,622

You all, probably just

felt a little shutter.

:

00:39:55,922 --> 00:39:56,522

All good.

:

00:39:57,332 --> 00:39:58,082

That's what I want to hear.

:

00:39:58,142 --> 00:39:59,972

Even if I'm about to die,

I don't need a heads up.

:

00:40:03,632 --> 00:40:04,082

Yeah.

:

00:40:04,532 --> 00:40:08,042

I just think like there's a line

though, you know, like there's a line

:

00:40:08,042 --> 00:40:11,402

of what they should tell you versus

like, I, they should have to get to.

:

00:40:12,362 --> 00:40:15,662

Because the common American is

dumb . They had to TA I think that

:

00:40:15,842 --> 00:40:20,402

he was more descriptive on this cause

they, which I never knew that like

:

00:40:20,432 --> 00:40:22,402

came the, flight crew came down.

:

00:40:22,762 --> 00:40:26,452

And took the covers off

of the emergency doors.

:

00:40:26,992 --> 00:40:32,032

Oh, so there's covers on those to then

get to like the actual, like handles.

:

00:40:32,302 --> 00:40:33,022

Yeah.

:

00:40:33,022 --> 00:40:35,212

And I think that was the

scariest part, because you just

:

00:40:35,212 --> 00:40:37,582

said a lot of Americans are.

:

00:40:37,582 --> 00:40:38,212

Really dumb.

:

00:40:38,332 --> 00:40:38,482

Yeah.

:

00:40:38,572 --> 00:40:41,962

, and I would just say a lot of

people, especially in that situation.

:

00:40:42,202 --> 00:40:42,562

But yeah.

:

00:40:42,622 --> 00:40:43,852

Generally not.

:

00:40:44,242 --> 00:40:45,142

You just took the.

:

00:40:45,169 --> 00:40:45,529

Plat.

:

00:40:45,979 --> 00:40:48,979

Now they can see what they

can pull if they freak out.

:

00:40:49,009 --> 00:40:50,089

Now, once again, it's not.

:

00:40:50,629 --> 00:40:52,729

Did it open until the cabins?

:

00:40:53,599 --> 00:40:56,089

Depressurized, but that you

look at that like, okay.

:

00:40:56,089 --> 00:40:58,129

They're like actually getting us ready to.

:

00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:00,349

That's actually a scary thing.

:

00:41:00,499 --> 00:41:01,099

Raise your hand.

:

00:41:01,099 --> 00:41:01,399

If you'd like.

:

00:41:02,299 --> 00:41:02,539

Yeah.

:

00:41:04,399 --> 00:41:05,809

Then they started yelling brace.

:

00:41:05,809 --> 00:41:06,829

That was a little freaky.

:

00:41:06,979 --> 00:41:08,299

Oh man, they did.

:

00:41:08,929 --> 00:41:12,169

Anytime I sit in an exit row and they're

like, give you the whole spiel and

:

00:41:12,169 --> 00:41:13,429

you have to like verbally acknowledge.

:

00:41:13,429 --> 00:41:14,089

You're willing to help.

:

00:41:14,329 --> 00:41:17,149

I'm not like, I'm like, Hey, this isn't.

:

00:41:17,629 --> 00:41:18,589

I will help myself.

:

00:41:19,609 --> 00:41:20,239

I don't give up.

:

00:41:20,929 --> 00:41:23,269

Every man for myself also, they're

like, leave your luggage on board.

:

00:41:23,299 --> 00:41:23,689

Nope.

:

00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:24,319

I'm going to get my.

:

00:41:24,889 --> 00:41:25,249

Okay.

:

00:41:25,279 --> 00:41:27,049

I would leave my luggage.

:

00:41:27,559 --> 00:41:28,369

My purse.

:

00:41:28,939 --> 00:41:29,689

Like my backpack.

:

00:41:30,049 --> 00:41:30,439

Whatever.

:

00:41:30,949 --> 00:41:32,359

I wouldn't be thinking about that.

:

00:41:32,689 --> 00:41:35,389

I would stay directly on the plane.

:

00:41:35,449 --> 00:41:37,969

I want to know going into a

million pieces because I'm not.

:

00:41:39,379 --> 00:41:40,669

I'm not doing work that day.

:

00:41:40,879 --> 00:41:42,499

Why, why were they yelling?

:

00:41:42,499 --> 00:41:43,309

Brace?

:

00:41:45,319 --> 00:41:45,679

Yeah.

:

00:41:45,949 --> 00:41:49,759

When you land, it's going to, it's not

like a normal, Hey, we're going to land.

:

00:41:49,969 --> 00:41:53,689

The plane was super heavy because

of the fuel and everything.

:

00:41:53,739 --> 00:41:56,949

. Well, you know, that bracing position they

tell you is so that you die immediately.

:

00:41:56,949 --> 00:41:57,159

Yeah.

:

00:41:57,249 --> 00:41:57,789

Like it's.

:

00:41:57,939 --> 00:42:00,579

Yes, because it's like, your

head will be just crushed in.

:

00:42:01,389 --> 00:42:03,459

Once again, call in and let us know.

:

00:42:05,799 --> 00:42:06,789

No, that's real.

:

00:42:06,879 --> 00:42:09,729

Guys next week.

:

00:42:09,789 --> 00:42:11,289

We're all traveling next week, Kelly.

:

00:42:11,739 --> 00:42:13,269

Over it tomorrow.

:

00:42:17,229 --> 00:42:20,109

Oh, you don't want to live through

a plane crash, like with, you

:

00:42:20,139 --> 00:42:21,549

know, for an extra few minutes.

:

00:42:21,579 --> 00:42:22,509

Oh, You want it to be.

:

00:42:23,409 --> 00:42:26,979

Also, if you're listening and

you get, play in sick, the best

:

00:42:26,979 --> 00:42:28,359

place to sit as by the wings.

:

00:42:28,809 --> 00:42:29,529

So like zone too.

:

00:42:29,529 --> 00:42:31,779

But that's the most

stable I'm stressed out.

:

00:42:32,469 --> 00:42:33,219

I mean, you've done it.

:

00:42:33,249 --> 00:42:34,269

You guys have done it.

:

00:42:34,689 --> 00:42:35,289

I'm stressed.

:

00:42:36,219 --> 00:42:37,299

That's not something.

:

00:42:37,479 --> 00:42:39,579

High five about it is when it's us.

:

00:42:40,449 --> 00:42:41,229

It's going to happen.

:

00:42:41,349 --> 00:42:42,789

Yeah, you can't do anything about it.

:

00:42:43,149 --> 00:42:45,099

So enjoy the ride and bring

your Bluetooth adapters.

:

00:42:45,099 --> 00:42:46,569

So you can be amused while it happens.

:

00:42:47,379 --> 00:42:49,119

You just want to be on the

left side of the curtain.

:

00:42:49,959 --> 00:42:50,559

Brian.

:

00:42:51,309 --> 00:42:51,759

I'm kidding.

:

00:42:52,119 --> 00:42:52,539

I'm not.

:

00:42:53,019 --> 00:42:53,919

Uh, do you know what that means?

:

00:42:53,919 --> 00:42:54,579

Kelly now?

:

00:42:56,692 --> 00:42:57,112

Brian.

:

00:42:57,112 --> 00:43:00,292

And I obviously, I think we've all

gathered or travel snobs, but like

:

00:43:00,292 --> 00:43:03,892

in a perfect world, when you get on

an international flight, you want to

:

00:43:03,892 --> 00:43:06,052

turn left because that's first class.

:

00:43:06,172 --> 00:43:06,652

Oh, my God.

:

00:43:06,742 --> 00:43:07,612

And if you turn right.

:

00:43:07,672 --> 00:43:09,922

Go upstairs or go up, so correct.

:

00:43:10,192 --> 00:43:12,052

Um, where there's showers and beds.

:

00:43:12,082 --> 00:43:12,202

Yeah.

:

00:43:12,532 --> 00:43:13,522

I'm in a bar.

:

00:43:13,792 --> 00:43:17,362

Um, where it's kind of funny, like

Kelly, you're a budding traveler.

:

00:43:17,392 --> 00:43:18,742

You're, you're a budget traveler.

:

00:43:18,772 --> 00:43:21,212

I am, , like a baller on a budget.

:

00:43:21,392 --> 00:43:24,332

So I'm like kind of a 50 50

at this point in my career.

:

00:43:24,572 --> 00:43:26,372

And then Brian over here

is like, turn right.

:

00:43:26,372 --> 00:43:27,482

Are you fucking kidding me with.

:

00:43:30,332 --> 00:43:33,802

I would never, every class affairs

represented, , at this table with.

:

00:43:34,072 --> 00:43:34,882

That's really lovely.

:

00:43:35,992 --> 00:43:37,132

That's what we do here.

:

00:43:37,822 --> 00:43:38,362

Turn left.

:

00:43:39,262 --> 00:43:40,252

Hopefully not me.

:

00:43:40,282 --> 00:43:40,882

I go right.

:

00:43:42,112 --> 00:43:42,592

I go right.

:

00:43:42,592 --> 00:43:43,372

A lot more than.

:

00:43:44,482 --> 00:43:46,552

I want to, especially on work trips.

:

00:43:47,032 --> 00:43:48,232

Uh, could I come out of here?

:

00:43:48,262 --> 00:43:49,432

It's hard to get upgraded.

:

00:43:49,672 --> 00:43:50,572

Yeah, it's true.

:

00:43:50,572 --> 00:43:51,142

It's true.

:

00:43:51,412 --> 00:43:51,742

,

Okay.

:

00:43:51,772 --> 00:43:54,532

If your plane was going down,

you could listen to one song.

:

00:43:54,622 --> 00:43:55,402

Oh, my God.

:

00:43:56,062 --> 00:43:56,872

What would it be?

:

00:43:56,962 --> 00:43:57,532

Brian?

:

00:43:58,472 --> 00:43:59,972

You gotta give me a

minute to think of that.

:

00:44:00,092 --> 00:44:01,532

I wouldn't be listening to a song.

:

00:44:01,832 --> 00:44:02,762

What would you be listening to?

:

00:44:02,822 --> 00:44:03,302

Nothing.

:

00:44:03,632 --> 00:44:04,682

But, but okay.

:

00:44:04,682 --> 00:44:05,462

But that's not the question.

:

00:44:06,392 --> 00:44:07,352

Sound of silence.

:

00:44:09,812 --> 00:44:12,062

Um, I feel like I knew immediately

what your answer would be.

:

00:44:12,062 --> 00:44:14,942

And now, yeah, I mean, Toto

Africa, let's be honest again.

:

00:44:15,302 --> 00:44:15,512

Okay.

:

00:44:16,232 --> 00:44:17,162

Listen to the greatest song.

:

00:44:17,192 --> 00:44:17,762

Of all time.

:

00:44:17,792 --> 00:44:18,452

One more time.

:

00:44:18,482 --> 00:44:18,632

That's.

:

00:44:19,052 --> 00:44:21,932

I'd probably listen to Bo Burnham

because he calms me down when I'm

:

00:44:21,932 --> 00:44:24,512

anxious, which doesn't make any sense.

:

00:44:24,842 --> 00:44:27,092

Um, The inside one, but with.

:

00:44:27,572 --> 00:44:28,262

Oh shit.

:

00:44:28,412 --> 00:44:28,712

Fuck.

:

00:44:29,282 --> 00:44:30,332

The goodbye one.

:

00:44:30,452 --> 00:44:33,662

Oh, because what I like

about him is he like.

:

00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:37,082

He has a ton of really

anxiety inducing stuff.

:

00:44:37,112 --> 00:44:37,382

Yeah.

:

00:44:37,412 --> 00:44:40,772

But it kind of makes me feel

better about my own anxiety.

:

00:44:40,802 --> 00:44:44,612

No, we're all anxious because

I'm like, oh, some, oh, Ah,

:

00:44:44,672 --> 00:44:45,962

yeah, it's like, I get it.

:

00:44:45,992 --> 00:44:46,532

You get it.

:

00:44:46,532 --> 00:44:47,102

We get it.

:

00:44:47,162 --> 00:44:48,032

We're together.

:

00:44:48,092 --> 00:44:48,782

It's great.

:

00:44:48,842 --> 00:44:52,202

And so he calms me down and

so I'd probably turn on.

:

00:44:52,742 --> 00:44:55,622

Bo Burnham, just so I could

like laugh at the situation.

:

00:44:55,712 --> 00:44:56,252

Okay.

:

00:44:56,342 --> 00:44:58,322

If I could, at least I'd try.

:

00:44:58,442 --> 00:44:58,862

Okay.

:

00:44:59,522 --> 00:44:59,852

Yeah.

:

00:45:00,362 --> 00:45:03,152

I would put on Andrea

Bocelli time to say goodbye.

:

00:45:05,612 --> 00:45:06,962

That's so depressing.

:

00:45:07,292 --> 00:45:10,292

Right, but also perfect.

:

00:45:12,452 --> 00:45:13,262

I hate this.

:

00:45:13,532 --> 00:45:14,252

Hello darkness.

:

00:45:14,252 --> 00:45:15,512

My old friend.

:

00:45:16,742 --> 00:45:17,432

I hate this.

:

00:45:18,482 --> 00:45:23,042

Think about the amount of cars you see

on fire on the side of the connector.

:

00:45:24,062 --> 00:45:24,632

. This is fine.

:

00:45:24,842 --> 00:45:25,592

That's what I hear.

:

00:45:25,592 --> 00:45:26,552

That's what everyone says.

:

00:45:26,582 --> 00:45:30,512

But then I'm like, what if that, what

played I get on is the one plane.

:

00:45:30,662 --> 00:45:31,622

Why you fly Delta?

:

00:45:31,952 --> 00:45:33,122

Yeah, entering left.

:

00:45:33,392 --> 00:45:34,112

Baby.

:

00:45:37,112 --> 00:45:41,372

Um, I think at the end of the day,

If you can't control an outcome, you

:

00:45:41,372 --> 00:45:42,782

might as well just enjoy the journey.

:

00:45:42,812 --> 00:45:43,292

Right?

:

00:45:43,592 --> 00:45:43,952

Like.

:

00:45:44,009 --> 00:45:45,329

You're not flying the plane.

:

00:45:45,869 --> 00:45:47,129

You can't control any of it.

:

00:45:47,249 --> 00:45:49,319

You're just not having

anxiety works, Erica.

:

00:45:49,619 --> 00:45:49,949

Wow.

:

00:45:51,809 --> 00:45:52,589

We've been acquainted.

:

00:45:54,389 --> 00:45:55,889

That's not how it works for me.

:

00:45:57,869 --> 00:45:59,429

Have you tried deep breathing.

:

00:46:01,439 --> 00:46:01,949

No.

:

00:46:01,979 --> 00:46:02,549

Does that work?

:

00:46:03,569 --> 00:46:04,499

For me, actually, it does.

:

00:46:04,559 --> 00:46:05,789

No, it doesn't work at all for me.

:

00:46:05,879 --> 00:46:07,229

It regulates my nervous system.

:

00:46:08,519 --> 00:46:09,029

You do it right.

:

00:46:09,029 --> 00:46:10,049

I'm probably doing it wrong.

:

00:46:10,349 --> 00:46:10,649

It's like that.

:

00:46:16,859 --> 00:46:18,959

So, I didn't think it was

deep panting, but that's fine.

:

00:46:19,499 --> 00:46:20,369

It's like a little doggy.

:

00:46:20,909 --> 00:46:21,359

So plenty.

:

00:46:21,689 --> 00:46:24,809

Um, Kelly, did you learn anything

today with our conversation that

:

00:46:24,869 --> 00:46:27,599

will influence your upcoming travels?

:

00:46:28,439 --> 00:46:29,579

That's a good question.

:

00:46:29,819 --> 00:46:30,299

Thank you.

:

00:46:30,479 --> 00:46:32,609

Um, No.

:

00:46:35,369 --> 00:46:40,139

Um, I did think about, I do want

to bring a mask on all my flights

:

00:46:40,139 --> 00:46:43,169

because I do not want to be sick

nor do I want to get anyone sick.

:

00:46:43,199 --> 00:46:43,439

Yeah.

:

00:46:43,469 --> 00:46:44,819

Like a K at 95 without.

:

00:46:45,569 --> 00:46:46,499

Yeah, legit.

:

00:46:46,549 --> 00:46:48,679

That I like was a reminder.

:

00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:49,399

I was like, oh shit.

:

00:46:49,429 --> 00:46:49,579

Yeah.

:

00:46:49,579 --> 00:46:50,539

I need to make sure I do that.

:

00:46:51,169 --> 00:46:54,559

, I guess I'll get an air tag for my bag.

:

00:46:56,119 --> 00:47:01,429

It's irritating, but I understand it

and I don't want my stuff to be stolen.

:

00:47:02,149 --> 00:47:02,479

Yeah.

:

00:47:02,769 --> 00:47:05,709

, and if you're going to take little

regional flights in between.

:

00:47:06,279 --> 00:47:06,819

Do you go.

:

00:47:07,089 --> 00:47:08,619

You're going to want to

know where you're selling.

:

00:47:09,279 --> 00:47:12,429

And you'll be shocked where you're like,

this is a carry on size bag and they're

:

00:47:12,429 --> 00:47:14,319

like, no, the fuck it's not check it.

:

00:47:14,379 --> 00:47:14,469

No.

:

00:47:14,499 --> 00:47:15,399

No force you to.

:

00:47:16,059 --> 00:47:16,929

Make it fit.

:

00:47:17,139 --> 00:47:17,589

Yeah.

:

00:47:17,799 --> 00:47:17,979

Yeah.

:

00:47:18,039 --> 00:47:19,299

It's like backpack only.

:

00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,879

There's been so many times I've

been on a little flight with that.

:

00:47:22,029 --> 00:47:23,469

Is there a fucking UFO out there?

:

00:47:23,469 --> 00:47:24,759

Do you, what is that light?

:

00:47:26,199 --> 00:47:26,919

Maybe a helicopter.

:

00:47:28,059 --> 00:47:28,779

That's an airplane.

:

00:47:28,809 --> 00:47:29,169

Erika.

:

00:47:29,619 --> 00:47:30,699

That's literally an airplane.

:

00:47:30,759 --> 00:47:30,909

Wow.

:

00:47:30,909 --> 00:47:32,019

So you're really full of shit.

:

00:47:32,019 --> 00:47:32,229

This whole.

:

00:47:33,759 --> 00:47:35,319

Travel hacks my ass.

:

00:47:36,459 --> 00:47:38,049

I actually don't even have a passport.

:

00:47:38,529 --> 00:47:39,519

I've never left Georgia.

:

00:47:42,249 --> 00:47:44,589

Um, no, for two seconds, the

way that it was like coming

:

00:47:44,589 --> 00:47:46,299

towards like a really crazy.

:

00:47:47,349 --> 00:47:50,139

Maybe I'll try to upgrade

myself to first class because

:

00:47:50,139 --> 00:47:51,849

it is my honeymoon after all.

:

00:47:52,269 --> 00:47:52,929

Yeah.

:

00:47:53,229 --> 00:47:55,089

I kind of was thinking about it.

:

00:47:55,089 --> 00:47:57,729

And I was like, honestly,

it's my fucking honeymoon.

:

00:47:57,729 --> 00:47:58,869

That's the only time.

:

00:47:59,799 --> 00:48:01,359

It's the first of many times.

:

00:48:01,419 --> 00:48:02,289

Let's get the mind.

:

00:48:02,559 --> 00:48:02,859

Right.

:

00:48:03,009 --> 00:48:05,079

My only time from the.

:

00:48:06,129 --> 00:48:07,659

Yeah, it's the first time.

:

00:48:08,469 --> 00:48:10,119

And I should do it is the point.

:

00:48:10,269 --> 00:48:10,599

Yeah.

:

00:48:10,659 --> 00:48:11,259

Keep an eye on.

:

00:48:11,349 --> 00:48:13,239

Like, as you get closer.

:

00:48:13,689 --> 00:48:13,869

Yeah.

:

00:48:13,869 --> 00:48:15,009

I don't even know how to do that.

:

00:48:17,319 --> 00:48:19,029

Oh, we're going to have

to start a second segment.

:

00:48:20,859 --> 00:48:21,849

Fire up the laptop.

:

00:48:23,635 --> 00:48:26,185

That sounds like a good thing to

outsource to your future husband.

:

00:48:26,305 --> 00:48:28,525

That sounds like a great

thing to outsource step.

:

00:48:28,555 --> 00:48:28,795

Yeah.

:

00:48:29,755 --> 00:48:33,265

And also always be this kind of just

goes back to being a considerate

:

00:48:33,265 --> 00:48:36,775

person, but like just always be nice

to the gate agents and your flight

:

00:48:36,775 --> 00:48:39,715

attendants and everybody, because

if there is a situation where.

:

00:48:39,775 --> 00:48:43,165

Someone's discretion could get

you upgraded or not being a Dick.

:

00:48:43,195 --> 00:48:46,315

Isn't going to get you there and

you catch more flies with honey.

:

00:48:46,825 --> 00:48:50,365

And if you just are like, I have a silly

little question, like they'll be more.

:

00:48:51,415 --> 00:48:52,615

Interested in entertaining it.

:

00:48:52,795 --> 00:48:53,725

Also people too.

:

00:48:53,965 --> 00:48:55,615

And they're not 100% there at work.

:

00:48:55,765 --> 00:48:56,035

Yeah.

:

00:48:56,305 --> 00:48:57,655

You know, they're not the ones going on.

:

00:48:57,805 --> 00:48:59,005

European vacation.

:

00:48:59,215 --> 00:49:00,085

So true.

:

00:49:00,175 --> 00:49:03,865

And more everybody else is

cranking champagne and drinking

:

00:49:03,865 --> 00:49:06,115

too many cocktails on there.

:

00:49:06,145 --> 00:49:06,985

They're working.

:

00:49:07,135 --> 00:49:07,555

Yeah.

:

00:49:08,605 --> 00:49:11,515

I don't think enough people

keeping, keep that in mind.

:

00:49:11,545 --> 00:49:12,115

So true.

:

00:49:12,295 --> 00:49:13,345

Oh, completely agree.

:

00:49:13,615 --> 00:49:18,085

People go into the airport and

they just act a fucking fool and a.

:

00:49:18,085 --> 00:49:21,235

It's not cool, but traveling is the

best way to learn about yourself

:

00:49:21,295 --> 00:49:23,515

and to learn about humanity

and to learn about the world.

:

00:49:23,875 --> 00:49:26,605

Even if it's a bad trip, you

still learn a lot from it.

:

00:49:26,665 --> 00:49:26,905

Yeah.

:

00:49:29,075 --> 00:49:31,415

Brian, do you have any key

takeaways from our time together?

:

00:49:32,795 --> 00:49:33,035

No.

:

00:49:33,035 --> 00:49:33,965

Thanks for having me though.

:

00:49:33,965 --> 00:49:34,685

This has been fun.

:

00:49:35,105 --> 00:49:38,285

I don't think we're going to

talk so much about, uh, travel.

:

00:49:38,405 --> 00:49:39,035

It's one of my.

:

00:49:39,395 --> 00:49:40,025

Topics.

:

00:49:40,085 --> 00:49:41,435

No, it's just one of my favorite topics.

:

00:49:41,465 --> 00:49:41,735

I know.

:

00:49:41,735 --> 00:49:42,395

That's why you're here.

:

00:49:42,695 --> 00:49:42,875

Yeah.

:

00:49:45,155 --> 00:49:46,745

No, I don't need a travel correspondent.

:

00:49:46,745 --> 00:49:47,495

This is going to be great.

:

00:49:47,525 --> 00:49:48,065

Yeah.

:

00:49:48,245 --> 00:49:50,795

Is there anything else that

you wanted to talk about?

:

00:49:51,395 --> 00:49:51,665

No.

:

00:49:53,135 --> 00:49:53,795

He's great.

:

00:49:54,695 --> 00:49:55,715

What about you, Erica?

:

00:49:55,835 --> 00:49:56,525

What did you learn?

:

00:49:56,525 --> 00:49:58,865

Cause I feel like you

were the teacher today.

:

00:49:59,345 --> 00:50:02,165

Um, uh, The story of my life.

:

00:50:04,565 --> 00:50:06,215

Um, let's see.

:

00:50:06,215 --> 00:50:06,425

Yeah.

:

00:50:06,485 --> 00:50:07,865

What did I learn today?

:

00:50:08,615 --> 00:50:11,165

I don't think that today for

me was about learning things.

:

00:50:11,165 --> 00:50:14,725

But I think I remember when I was

your age and like the first time you're

:

00:50:14,725 --> 00:50:19,075

going on a big trip like that, and just

the excitement and the enthusiasm and

:

00:50:19,075 --> 00:50:23,965

the, flexibility, like, because you

don't have these rigid travel standards

:

00:50:23,965 --> 00:50:28,015

you've acquired, you're going to be so

adaptable and just like bright eyes.

:

00:50:28,045 --> 00:50:33,205

And I just, I remember like my equivalent

of that trip and it's, I'll remember

:

00:50:33,235 --> 00:50:36,895

it for my whole life and it's just so

nice to be in that phase of life.

:

00:50:37,045 --> 00:50:39,655

So I think I'm just kind of

like just sweet to see you

:

00:50:39,655 --> 00:50:41,395

in barking on this adventure.

:

00:50:41,635 --> 00:50:43,885

And I just know you're

going to have the best time.

:

00:50:44,065 --> 00:50:44,575

Yeah.

:

00:50:44,875 --> 00:50:45,625

Did you get an ear tag?

:

00:50:46,105 --> 00:50:51,025

Super open-minded to like a couple of

different travel situations is awesome.

:

00:50:51,055 --> 00:50:55,915

I mean that some of the most fun trips

that we've been on have not been.

:

00:50:56,395 --> 00:50:58,735

You know, I've not gone

necessarily according to plan.

:

00:50:59,455 --> 00:51:01,015

Yeah, six months ago.

:

00:51:01,375 --> 00:51:05,545

It's pretty cool to just kind of go

with the flow and you may end up, you

:

00:51:05,545 --> 00:51:08,365

know, You didn't think you were going

to be in Romania, but it may end up

:

00:51:08,365 --> 00:51:10,285

being the most fun part of your trip.

:

00:51:10,345 --> 00:51:10,795

Yeah.

:

00:51:12,025 --> 00:51:13,315

We have this beautiful Romania.

:

00:51:13,495 --> 00:51:13,585

Right.

:

00:51:13,645 --> 00:51:13,765

Yeah.

:

00:51:13,945 --> 00:51:14,125

Yeah.

:

00:51:14,365 --> 00:51:15,145

We've never been there.

:

00:51:15,145 --> 00:51:15,835

That's cool as fuck.

:

00:51:16,015 --> 00:51:16,645

It's beautiful.

:

00:51:16,705 --> 00:51:17,215

Yeah.

:

00:51:17,425 --> 00:51:19,645

I like, I don't normally like.

:

00:51:20,425 --> 00:51:22,255

Like I was only expecting we are France.

:

00:51:22,255 --> 00:51:22,645

So.

:

00:51:23,125 --> 00:51:24,805

Romania was a super random.

:

00:51:25,285 --> 00:51:26,005

Edition.

:

00:51:26,315 --> 00:51:27,965

, but I think it would be great.

:

00:51:27,995 --> 00:51:30,365

I mean, Yeah, I'm excited.

:

00:51:30,425 --> 00:51:31,175

It's going to be amazing.

:

00:51:31,265 --> 00:51:34,385

And so things are going to go wrong and

unexpected things will cross your path

:

00:51:34,655 --> 00:51:38,345

and it's going to be such a good, , like

team-building experience for you and

:

00:51:38,345 --> 00:51:41,225

your new husband too, because you'll

be able to travel with somebody is

:

00:51:41,225 --> 00:51:44,015

like a make or break partnership thing.

:

00:51:44,505 --> 00:51:45,105

. It's going to be.

:

00:51:45,765 --> 00:51:48,255

It's definitely going to be a

growing experience for sure.

:

00:51:49,515 --> 00:51:50,685

I can't wait to hear about it.

:
