It’s nice to see Matt in an environment where he can have intelligent conversations. Like it’s cool to see his stories/experiences being celebrated rather than seen as annoying or made fun of.

It’s funny because Erin and Matt are super colorful and bright and then it pans to Mike and Carly more neutral colors black and gray. Just interesting seeing the contrast. Love everyone!

Love this observation
Love when Matt’s dad anger comes out. “HE’S A PILOT!!!”
Matt just pull a “Garrett Watts” and spontaneously go to Japan by yourself.
I hope when fall comes around we have a supernatural/ scary stories/spooky vibes topic
My new fav podcast. And I’m a gate agent so Travel is the perfect topic for this week 🥰

I went to Auschwitz-Birkenau in November of 2017. I urge everybody to visit. It was the darkest and hardest think I've ever seen (I'm from the UK so modern war history is a huge part of our history education). Our tour guide was the niece of a prisoner, so it was absolutely harrowing to be shown the room he was kept it. It's sometimes hard to remember that this wasn't a movie, it was very much real life and experiences like this make that hit home.
I'm gonna be honest, when you guys initially announced this podcast I was super excited because I love all of you and together even more. So I listened to the first one and I obviously loved it, but when I realized that each one was going to be on certain specific topics I was a little skeptical, just because I normally listen to "what happened this week? Here's a random thing I wanted to talk about." type of podcasts, and when the second one came out i thought "I'll listen to this in the background and we'll see" but within a couple of minutes I had left my phone aside and was genuinely invested on hearing your opinions about the topic, and it has been that way every week since then. You all are genuinely interesting, intelligent and all around funny, I can't wait for the next podcast ❤️ A lot of love from Mexico 🇲🇽🥰
I agree with Matt about the whole Spanish and French learning, it can be confusing. I’m Mexican so I grew up speaking Spanish and when I was learning French in college I had an easier time learning French because there were many similarities in the language to Spanish but at the same time it was confusing at times because many things sound the same and I sometimes got confused speaking it by blending both of the languages together in sentences. I didn’t even realize I was doing it until I was being told 😅😅
Lmao the Jon and Kate plus 8 recap 😂😂 you have to do it !!
Erin mentioned that she is learning French. There is a free video course available on KZread that was developed at Yale. The name is "French in Action" and it has numerous Ivy League graduates talking about how good it is. Maybe it would be a good companion to what she is already learning.
finally i have something to watch while eating my lunch LOL
I have asked for it on their channel, but I would loveeeee to see Erin's speadsheets.
Organization? Erin: Yes.
I'm so excited every week when I see a new episode!!! my fave recently
LOVE THIS CHANNEL! Erin = Donna from that 70’s show vibe x10000 and you can’t change my mind 😂 also I’m from Boston so I completely adore her!
i watch all of your seperate pods but i just love this podcast so muchhhhhhhh it's perfect
Really have been enjoying the podcast all the episodes are so good.
I’m from northern New Mexico. Very small town like. We had a genocide education class. We were taught about different genocides throughout history with a big focus on the Holocaust. We read MAUS and Night. At the end of the course we were able to visit the Holocaust museum in DC. Such an unforgettable and important class.
matt is literally everyone’s fav!
Vacation constipation!!! Omg Matt 😂😂 I went on a 14 day road trip last year and I couldn’t poop for like 4 days
As someone from Niagara Falls I feel like the way to go is to start on the American side, see the cave of the winds and the falls from our side and then go to Niagara Falls, Canada for the rest of the day and explore Clifton Hill. Love our city but the Canadian side is just more fun
Episodes of this podcast feel way shorter than an hour, they go by way so fast lol
We rented a houseboat in Canada, North of Toronto for 2 weeks & it was so great. There were stops for the night for houseboats, nice places to eat, do your laundry, meet new people, just so much fun!
I’ve been enjoying every episode of your podcast ❤️
I love watching your podcast ❤️
Not Matt activating my Google Home device!! Shocked me off of my couch 😅
Carly you should read Into Thin Air by John Krakauer- about a man who climbed Everest and it was very interesting
Lmao!!! As someone who grew up in Fargo, I DIED when you said you want to go there. If you go, hit up downtown. It’s always a good time.
1. Sioux Falls is in South Dakota lol! 2. Don’t go to Fargo.. go to the Black Hills in SD!! It’s so beautiful. There’s glamping, lots of 3 mile hikes with good views, lakes, kayaking, etc. Plus, a couple national monuments. ♥️
YESSS this just made my day, diving into the convo now!
I live in North Dakota!! Not embarrassed lol. Come through sometime! Big college city, downtown is poppin on the weekends lol.
Hello from Vancouver!! Come here in the spring or summer its gorgeous!
My family and I just did a 15 1/2 hour road trip in our tesla, it was actually really nice. We loved the often but quick stops. Hubby and I switched out at every charger and it made the drive super easy. We did overnight on the way there 9pm-12pm and on the way back we left at 9am and got back 12:30am. Made in extra stop for food lol
AHHH THEM SAYING FARGO & LIVING HERE! I’ll show you around 😂
Carly & Eric are so pretty 🥹 I’m really liking this podcast!
lol Matt's reactions are the best 0:55, 1:29, 4:46 and 30:14 😂

My scariest vacation was when a friend and I went to Bali back in the 90s. We were 19 or 20yo and we were meant to keep our boarding passes that we got from Australia to Bali for our trip home but we forgot and packed them in our suitcase. We get to the airport in Bali which is full of armed soldiers, they don't speak English and we didn't speak enough Balinese. We got escorted into a little office and had rifles pointed at us and we were, I assume, being interrogated, we understood a word here and there. Luckily we found our boarding passes in our cases, they yelled at us some more then shoved us out of the office and escorted us back to where we were meant to board our plane back home...it was terrifying!
Matt is right, as a chinese person, I was impressed in a “white boy can speak mandarin” way

I think if you have an airline specific Amex card you don't get other rewards points. I briefly worked for them and hated it lol Also airport workers know nothing but they should guide people to help. The flight tracking websites are great, I like flight aware. Always good to know where it's coming from
YAY have been refreshing for the past week just hoping for another good influences pod!

You guys should visit a Slave plantation and take tours there. It’s literally haunting
my favorite episode so far, just arrived from my trip (not vacation) from portugal😅🇵🇹 i called it vacation but after your discussion i recall it to travel😅
I love this podcast! And love this topic!
love this podcast so much
Matt talks Chinese and the 30:00 minute mark. I’m impressed..
Erin needs to drop a travel book
I go to college in Fargo, ND. It is very much a college town! Hope you guys can make it down here sometime! Preferably not between December and March as it literally gets colder than Antártica because of the wind :(
ah hell yeah, perfect timing
i absolutely hate traveling, but loved this episode 😊
Hiii from the wild breed of Finland 👋😂 and I'm even a wilder breed because I'm a Finland-Swede.....🤭
I’m so sad Erin didn’t bring up Plymouth Plantation in Mass, iykyk 🤣
You can see the Northern Lights really great on Drummond Island, MI (an actual island that is super remote) - or if you want to go internationally Iceland!
The four of you should come to Vancouver (just avoid rainy winter)!
My grandparents are in their 90’s and neither of them have ever been on a plane because “people aren’t meant to fly!” Lol
i’m from az and you can camp and hike in the grand canyon up into the waterfalls and caves. my dad was kinda dumb back then when he went with my mom for a work trip & he brushed his teeth in a water fall he figured would be decently clean water ( if i didn’t really state this it was a two week hiking trip where you go deep all through the grand canyon ) he ended up getting ecoli i believe and some heart disease. he’s fine now but it’s dirty from other animals and natives but it’s absolutely gorgeous

also people year round fall through into the grand canyon , they will get to the edge and sit and watch the sunset barley move and fall miles down into the grand canyon. there is a story about a guy who died hiking but he lasted the craziest time hiking through the grand canyon with nothing. he was considered a missing persons until his body was discovered it’s the most insane story. no one knows how he did it and got there
I used to play the ABC game with billboards, road signs, license plates and just find a word with an A, then B, etc. It could be fun and competitive if someone is riding with the person going to college from TX to CO. It will be 3 days just to get out if TX (depending where they live) 😅
I wonder your thoughts on Christiania in Denmark. It’s a separate community where they have their own rules right in the heart of Denmark. Very interesting to read.
thank you for asking my question! definitely listened to this podcast while I drove to Colorado. Love you guys!
matt made my google home go off and now i have a random alarm set for tomorrow at 11:48pm
Matt, look up the people who have successfully “rode over” Niagara Falls! 😅 there’s definitely people who have also* felt that urge to jump it lol!!
Growing up my mom was a flight attendant, we’re like the savviest travellers
Please change the seating the way it was. Carly and Matt sitting together. Balance the energy out.

Watching from Ireland!💜
The moment of confusion when Matt said “ok google stop” and my google stopped the chromecast to my tv. 🙈
It’s so funny being from Pennsylvania and living around the Amish because they still use one room schools for every grade.
This is Erin's Goddess era
Y’all should def visit New Mexico! Lots of history
omg im from north dakota and love hearing people talk about it! would definitely recommend going in fall! we do not have that strong of an accent tho lmao
Y'all must watch Kara and Nate. They're an amazing travel couple that give great travel/ credit card advise, plus they have Fare Drop .
definately go to Fargo
me watching this 2 weeks before my first flight ever 😬
I’m going to Japan at the end of August for work for a month and a half. I’m currently living in Hong Kong, Cantonese is much harder than Mandarin (from what I know / heard)
OMG everybody always thinks I say “rum” too!!!
You guys should go a museum about Japanese internment. That'll mess you up.
Okay two random but related stories; 1) I met Will Smith at the museum of tolerance in LA on a school field trip. 2)While on a family trip (not a vacation) to Ireland and Scotland, I was stopped on the streets of Dublin by an American woman asking me for directions. I obviously was no help, and when she walked away my brothers girlfriend said ‘I graduated high school with her’. WHAT ARE THE ODDS
I’m from a town of 150ish people in ND! And currently live in fargo, come visit!
Please let me know when you come to Fargo, I live an hour away 😂😂
Read Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. It's a nonfiction about a group of people climbing mt everest
Challenging all of you to stop saying ‘like’ so much. 😅 Once you notice, you can’t stop focusing on it lol.

It’s great that they’re talking openly about the holocaust and it’s affect on history. However, I wish the indigenous residential schools in Canada and private schools in America were more talked about. Residential schools were literally nicknamed the holocaust of Canada and it all happened right in North America.
Share the Tokyo itinerary! ☺️
IF YOU COME TO FARGO YOU HAVE TO LET ME KNOW!!! ID LOVE TO HAVE A BEER WITH YALL😭😭😭
MIKE WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SWEATSHIRT I NEED IT RN!!!!!!
Google says that even if someone is found half alive they can’t be saved because their body is FROZEN to the mountain 😮
Y'all are so cute and clueless. You have been to these places. And have no idea what they're about. And then when you talk about them on your podcast. You ask questions about your experience. I would think that you would have the answers considering that you were there. Other than that we would look that s*** up on our own. There's a few KZread channels that you should check out . You should probably start learning how to keep water. Because it's going to be pretty scarce. And also maybe start a in home garden. I'm so thankful that I am a tea drinker.
As someone buffalo born and raised (go bills) Niagara Falls American side is sketchy af. The Canadian side is so much better
the back rum
As a North Dakotan, we do NOT talk like that…
What does Matt do for a living? He looks like he has a job in accounting. Always wanted to know.
