Speaker 1: This is Suckers. I'm Bell, I'm Dean Bell, and I'm
Speaker 1: Jared haven An.
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Hello world, Hello Nation, Hello Kaitlin, Hello listener. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining us on this very first the
Speaker 1: inaugural episode of what I think I'm going to call
Speaker 1: Dean's Lounge. Oh, lounge Dean.
Speaker 2: I like Dean's lounge.
Speaker 1: What what? I was kind of trying to play with
Speaker 1: some ideas of what I could call this, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I really like either of those enough.
Speaker 1: But they were the two best that I came up with.
Speaker 2: That's all. That's what you came up with. Those are
Speaker 2: the only two lounge Dean or Dean Slug.
Speaker 1: I've been working hard on this.
Speaker 2: What I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I love this because it's you're at an airport, you
Speaker 1: go to the Centurion Lounge or the Capital one loge.
Speaker 2: Oh oh interesting?
Speaker 1: Did you not put that together?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Oh my wait you must have. Oh so what did
Speaker 1: you think it was? Then?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just in your cute little asses
Speaker 2: lounge and yeah, this like velvety voice so on, So
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm in Dean's Lounge.
Speaker 1: Well, it's nice recorded to play, you know. It is
Speaker 1: currently eight pm in Colorado and normally recorded in the morning,
Speaker 1: and i'd just a little grumpy goose in the morning
Speaker 1: so I can turn on my sultry voice at night.
Speaker 2: At least you always turn on your soultry voice, but
Speaker 2: you do have more energy at night. You're a little Yeah,
Speaker 2: grumpy Goose is correct.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you? So So Lounge Dean is the is
Speaker 1: the working title of this spinoff.
Speaker 2: I like Dean's Lounge podcast. Now that I get it,
Speaker 2: I guess I Lounge Dean is good.
Speaker 1: Lounge Dean. It's just there's It leaves something to be
Speaker 1: desired and I don't know what yet, and I haven't
Speaker 1: cleared this with iHeartRadio, so none of this is official.
Speaker 1: It's just me and my thoughts mostly. But you might
Speaker 1: be asking yourself, what am I even listening to right now?
Speaker 1: Why am I here? And that's a really good question.
Speaker 1: So what we've done. If you haven't already gone back
Speaker 1: and listened to Kaylen's podcast, the pop culture podcast Kaylen's
Speaker 1: Pop I love it. If you haven't listened to that,
Speaker 1: go back and give that a listen. She's going to
Speaker 1: be updating the pop culture every single week on our
Speaker 1: own episode separate from our main podcast with Jared and
Speaker 1: Jared's gonna be doing his daddy talk talk Daddy to me.
Speaker 2: Great, you're really good at this.
Speaker 1: I'm good at you guys. I'm not good at myself.
Speaker 1: I guess I like Launchdeen and my thing. It was
Speaker 1: hard harder for me to think of something for me
Speaker 1: to do because Jared's great father, Caylen, she's got her
Speaker 1: she's got her hand of the pulse of pop culture,
Speaker 1: so she's pretty perfect for that.
Speaker 2: I have more interesting things about me than just being
Speaker 2: obsessed with pop culture. It makes me sound a little uninteresting,
Speaker 2: so I know, I know you weren't trying to say that.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, my own insecurity.
Speaker 1: No, you do have very many amazing things that you
Speaker 1: could have talked about, but you chose to talk about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just fun to talk about.
Speaker 1: It's good and it's it's it's not I don't want
Speaker 1: to say easy. Easy is not the right word, but
Speaker 1: it keep you always have something to talk about, which
Speaker 1: is good. That's true some weeks more than others, obviously,
Speaker 1: but you know, you're always gonna have topics and you're
Speaker 1: always gonna have to touchdown. So if you haven't listened yet,
Speaker 1: go listen to Kaylin's episode on under the same podcast
Speaker 1: Umbrella Suckers. Is that what we are now? Suckers?
Speaker 2: We are suckers?
Speaker 1: Yes, And I wanted to do travel and it took
Speaker 1: a lot of It took a lot of convincing to
Speaker 1: the higher ups ade iHeartRadio to let me do travel,
Speaker 1: because they're like, Dean, what are you gonna what do
Speaker 1: you have to offer here? And I was like, just
Speaker 1: give me something, just give me one thing, and that
Speaker 1: one thing can be travel, and they graciously accepted that idea,
Speaker 1: and so now here we are. So what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do this first episode, We're just going to kind of
Speaker 1: lay a baseline, lay a little of a foundation for
Speaker 1: the future episodes, and just kind of see where it goes.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not expecting much. I hope you don't
Speaker 1: expect much out of me either. Not you, Kaitlin, you
Speaker 1: the listener. I hope the listener doesn't expect much out
Speaker 1: of me. I'm going to do my best, but we'll
Speaker 1: see how it goes. I feel like sometimes on our
Speaker 1: main pod, I don't get to talk enough about my experiences.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that's a bad thing because I
Speaker 1: don't really like to talk about my experiences all that
Speaker 1: much anyways, but this could be a good a outlet
Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 2: I think it'll be great for you. Having three hosts
Speaker 2: is a challenge, and well maybe not so much so
Speaker 2: for me because I don't speak a ton anyways. You
Speaker 2: started it up, but it's good for us to each
Speaker 2: have our own outlets, you know, because we do get
Speaker 2: cut off their three co hosts. So it's great for
Speaker 2: us to be able to have this and talk about
Speaker 2: things that we're passionate about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I often would rather have someone I'd rather
Speaker 1: ask a question than answer someone's question, you know. I'd
Speaker 1: rather kind of put the topic somewhere else and get
Speaker 1: someone else involved in a conversation than me take the reins.
Speaker 1: Self promotion has never really been my big thing. So
Speaker 1: whenever I go somewhere and do something really cool and
Speaker 1: I come back and like, I kind of want to
Speaker 1: talk about it, but if no one like brings it up, naturally,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go out of my way to
Speaker 1: bring it up. You know.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited to hear what you have on today's agenda.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's not much. Like I said, this first
Speaker 1: episode is going to be a foundation builder. I've done
Speaker 1: enough trips internationally separately to probably have about a year's
Speaker 1: worth of content of trips to talk about.
Speaker 2: Way more than a year a year to.
Speaker 1: Start, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe a year
Speaker 1: might be kind of like where I'm at right now.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can keep adding to that as time goes on.
Speaker 1: But that's just trips alone. I also want to be
Speaker 1: able to touch on things like traveling on a budget,
Speaker 1: traveling affordably, because that's kind of what I like to
Speaker 1: do personally.
Speaker 2: And then he married me, and then huge mistake and then.
Speaker 1: That was a big mistake. And I don't regret it
Speaker 1: one bit, but it was a big mistake.
Speaker 2: I think that's going to be really popular because everyone
Speaker 2: wants to know how to travel on a budget.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I did compile some stats about traveling and some
Speaker 1: barriers to entry. We'll get to that later, but but yeah,
Speaker 1: so I want to touch on some things like budgeting
Speaker 1: and traveling and maybe even like some photography tips and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, because I hope by now you all
Speaker 1: know that at least I'm interested in photography. I know
Speaker 1: I'm not very good at it yet, but I'm still
Speaker 1: working on it. And it's good to have you here too,
Speaker 1: because I like to gas myself down, and you're pretty
Speaker 1: good at get me gassed back up.
Speaker 2: So it's my job as your wife. I also think
Speaker 2: we should talk you, because this is your lounge, talk about,
Speaker 2: you know, recovering from jet lag, how not to get sick,
Speaker 2: because we do travel quite a bit and those are
Speaker 2: things that we have to overcome, and we are heading
Speaker 2: to Australia tomorrow, so we're gonna have to fight that
Speaker 2: jet lag real hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah that I mean, that's just like a standalone episode
Speaker 1: of how maybe, or even just like one subject on
Speaker 1: a standalone episode of how to Fight jet lag.
Speaker 2: But we can we can do something to give you
Speaker 2: more ideas.
Speaker 1: No, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. So I just
Speaker 1: wanted to go back to the very beginning, to the
Speaker 1: very beginning of time, I e. When I was born.
Speaker 1: And I've talked about this on our main podcast a
Speaker 1: little bit, not too in depth, but I was born
Speaker 1: in Jersey and then this might get a little boring
Speaker 1: and monotonous, but I'm just gonna go through. I just
Speaker 1: want to. We got a walk before we can run here.
Speaker 1: So it's born in Jersey. When I was a year old,
Speaker 1: my family moved into a converted Greyhound bus. So there
Speaker 1: are six of us in a bus and we drove
Speaker 1: all throughout the US. I always used to tell people
Speaker 1: we hit every single state in the US, But to
Speaker 1: be totally honest, I have absolute no idea.
Speaker 2: I don't think you did.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we didn't obviously.
Speaker 2: Especially because you landed in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we didn't go to Washington or Oregon. We're
Speaker 1: go any further west than the here. But it's just
Speaker 1: it's a fun anecdote to add, like, yeah, I've been
Speaker 1: to every state in the US. Surely I have not,
Speaker 1: And even if I have, I was too young to remember.
Speaker 1: But it did. I think it did instill a bit
Speaker 1: of a wanderlust, if you will, because it was me,
Speaker 1: my two brothers, and my sister and my two parents.
Speaker 1: So there were six of us on this like forty
Speaker 1: foot long greyhound bus with bunk beds and a master
Speaker 1: bedroom in the back, and we were doing it on
Speaker 1: a budget. Back then, my dad was like selling temporary tattoos,
Speaker 1: doing odd jobs just to be able to afford gas
Speaker 1: for the bus that we were living in, And then
Speaker 1: we eventually settled in Colorado, and Caitlin and I just
Speaker 1: moved to Colorado actually, funny enough, just ten minutes down
Speaker 1: the road from where I grew up. So a lot
Speaker 1: of this might be interesting for you to hear, but
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll become as a surprise for any
Speaker 1: of it. So growing up here in this area specifically,
Speaker 1: and Colorado as a whole, I feel like, is not
Speaker 1: very diverse. It's actually in the Roaring Fork Valley, it's
Speaker 1: almost exclusively Caucasian and Hispanic, like fifty to fifty split,
Speaker 1: maybe with like a couple other ethnicities sprinkled in there.
Speaker 1: But you're not going to get much diversity out here.
Speaker 1: So growing up here, you don't get to see much,
Speaker 1: and I think I always wanted to have the chance
Speaker 1: to kind of get out and see more things. Calen,
Speaker 1: how's it going over.
Speaker 2: There, I'm just listening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Well, I just want to make sure. I
Speaker 1: feel like, if you're not paying attention to me, then
Speaker 1: they're not going to be paying attention to me.
Speaker 2: I know all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh, but I feet like pretend to be interested thanks,
Speaker 1: and so so that's where I think a lot of
Speaker 1: the curiosity came from. We were also very poor, so
Speaker 1: I didn't travel out of the state even until I
Speaker 1: was seventeen. I went to Mexico with my friends in
Speaker 1: high school, and I had to get a passport for that,
Speaker 1: but obviously you have to get a passport at some point.
Speaker 1: And then I went to college and it was kind
Speaker 1: of more the same. I think what it really comes
Speaker 1: down to for people at the end of the day
Speaker 1: is you need to have time or money. If you
Speaker 1: don't have time but you have money, you don't have
Speaker 1: time to go travel. If you have time but you
Speaker 1: don't have money, you can't afford to go travel. And
Speaker 1: that's I feel like encompasses most of Americans or just
Speaker 1: people in general that want to travel but can't. And
Speaker 1: so I went to college, didn't have any money. Obviously,
Speaker 1: graduated college, worked for a couple of years, didn't have
Speaker 1: any money, but I didn't have any time either. I
Speaker 1: guess I didn't have either of those things. Then we
Speaker 1: went on The Bachelor, and then we were granted this
Speaker 1: luxury of having a lot of time, and people started
Speaker 1: paying us money for not doing really much, and so
Speaker 1: it kind of gave us money and time. It was
Speaker 1: a good thing, and that's kind of when traveling took
Speaker 1: off for me personally. I know it was kind of
Speaker 1: the same for you, right, Like you had always wanted
Speaker 1: to travel. You traveled with your boyfriend to Japan, but
Speaker 1: other than that, you hadn't really done much before the Bachelor,
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had gone to the Bahamas. Was when I
Speaker 2: got my first passport, Bahamas, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and that was.
Speaker 1: It, And that was all with the ex boyfriends. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And that was all when you were like twenty three probably, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when I.
Speaker 2: Went on the sho twenty two.
Speaker 1: Right, So now that of us really did any traveling
Speaker 1: until we were in our twenties. I hadn't even been
Speaker 1: on an air. I didn't even see a skyscraper until
Speaker 1: I was eighteen years old, probably, So then eventually I
Speaker 1: had the ability and the luxury to start doing that.
Speaker 1: And I never really thought it would be any kind
Speaker 1: of thing, but it was really nice when I started
Speaker 1: traveling semi frequently and I would get back from trips
Speaker 1: and I would have friends, I would have friends reach
Speaker 1: out to me and ask me like traveling tips or
Speaker 1: like destinations that they should go, or just things like
Speaker 1: that where they started to kind of see you as
Speaker 1: someone that maybe could give them good advice on those things.
Speaker 1: I remember I did a trip once and I got
Speaker 1: back and one of my friends who I really admired,
Speaker 1: was like asking me a bunch of questions about his
Speaker 1: potential trip going out there, and I was like, oh, wow,
Speaker 1: this is cool to like actually have something to talk
Speaker 1: about because I don't. I don't know, having experiences to
Speaker 1: talk about is so much easier than so many other
Speaker 1: things where you're just basically recounting your experience versus like
Speaker 1: trying to say something thought provoking. Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: So so then I started traveling obviously, and eventually I
Speaker 1: bought my first camera, and then it kind of just
Speaker 1: snoballed into this big thing. I still think that I
Speaker 1: have not traveled nearly as much as a lot of
Speaker 1: my peers, people that I consider peers in this space,
Speaker 1: at least do people that are like living permanently on
Speaker 1: the road. And obviously those days are kind of behind me.
Speaker 1: Now that you know, married dog house wife that kind
Speaker 1: of falls onto the umbrella of married, but but I
Speaker 1: hope it doesn't slow down too much. You know, we're
Speaker 1: going to Australia tomorrow. As Klein said, I have like
Speaker 1: kind of talking about some trips later on in the
Speaker 1: year two. But it just has to be a lot
Speaker 1: more thoughtful now, whereas before I could just pick up
Speaker 1: and go for a week or two, but now you
Speaker 1: kind of have to like take a lot more is
Speaker 1: into consideration, you know. So that's where we're at. The
Speaker 1: foundation of this podcast is I want to recount some
Speaker 1: of those experiences. I want to be able to hopefully
Speaker 1: help people understand things that maybe they hadn't had the
Speaker 1: chance to understand before listening to this podcast. You know,
Speaker 1: Like I spun off that travel blog and it was
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. I felt like I didn't
Speaker 1: really have much to offer, but I wanted to be
Speaker 1: able to give someone something, and so the only thing
Speaker 1: that I could really think of was like, well, I
Speaker 1: just can outline everything that I spent because that's what
Speaker 1: I did, and that's all I have to do is
Speaker 1: just go back and talk about the things that I
Speaker 1: had already done. And what I hate when you see
Speaker 1: you see all these people posting on Instagram of all
Speaker 1: these amazing trips and amazing photos and like incredibly corny captions,
Speaker 1: but you always in the back of my head, at least,
Speaker 1: I'm always wondering, like how much did that trip cost?
Speaker 1: Like where are they getting this money? How could you
Speaker 1: go all the way halfway across the world and fly
Speaker 1: back and not even miss a beat? And so that's
Speaker 1: kind of where that whole travel blog thing came about.
Speaker 1: I wasn't really very motivated to write very I'm not
Speaker 1: very good at it, and or motivated too, I guess,
Speaker 1: And I still write sometimes, but not as often as
Speaker 1: I should. But that's where we're at now. And so
Speaker 1: I have a couple of stats that I want to
Speaker 1: ask you real quick. So I look these up just
Speaker 1: before we recorded the podcast, and they're kind of trivia. No,
Speaker 1: it's not really trivia, but just kind of interesting stats
Speaker 1: of Americans and traveling. And it's not like super well
Speaker 1: researched or that in depth or anything. It's kind of
Speaker 1: just shout surface level. But if you were to guess
Speaker 1: between men and women, who do you think travels more
Speaker 1: men or women outside of the country, Women you do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was surprised to learn that women do thirty two
Speaker 1: percent of women. Thirty two percent of women are more
Speaker 1: likely to travel out of the country than men, which
Speaker 1: is only twenty two percent of men.
Speaker 2: I think women are more curious than men.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that. I've always just kind of
Speaker 1: like through through my perspective of seeing your experience with travel,
Speaker 1: like it's just a little safer for men to travel, definitely.
Speaker 2: And and I've it's funny that you say that because
Speaker 2: when we first started dating, you didn't totally grasp that
Speaker 2: that it's safer for men to travel solo than it
Speaker 2: is for women. But I also grew up with a
Speaker 2: mom who's like scared of everything, and so I was
Speaker 2: scared of everything, and then going out into world, I'm like,
Speaker 2: the world, isn't that scary?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And do you still feel that way that the.
Speaker 2: World isn't scary?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah. And that's one thing I've always encouraged too,
Speaker 1: is solo trips. I think are maybe the most important
Speaker 1: thing someone can do for themselves.
Speaker 2: Book to trip to Paris in May or July is something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you didn't tell me that I did because I had
Speaker 2: that credit that was excired.
Speaker 1: He said, you were thinking about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so women on average are more like almost
Speaker 1: one and a half times more likely to travel than men,
Speaker 1: which I thought was really interesting. And then another thing
Speaker 1: that I thought was interesting what we touched on this
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier about price or I guess finances.
Speaker 1: Survey results showed seventy six percent of the respondents wanted
Speaker 1: to travel more than they do, but they can't because
Speaker 1: of a lack of finances or just feeling underprepared or
Speaker 1: ill equipped to travel. And more specifically, sixty three percent
Speaker 1: of Americans who have never left the country said an
Speaker 1: international trip would be out of their price range. And
Speaker 1: for me, that totally strikes home because before going on
Speaker 1: on television, I couldn't even dream of spending an extra
Speaker 1: couple thousand dollars to go on a trip because I
Speaker 1: needed that money to eat and to pay my rent
Speaker 1: and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I think that's something you could touch on too in
Speaker 2: future episodes, is like, I am such a planner, and
Speaker 2: since being married to you and being with you for
Speaker 2: five years, it's made me have to be more lax.
Speaker 2: Like I thought. You have to travel, you have to
Speaker 2: book your flights, you have to book every hotel, you
Speaker 2: have to plan every single thing out and you kind
Speaker 2: of fly by the seat of your pants in the
Speaker 2: best way. And that's like a topic in affordable traveling too.
Speaker 2: It's like, if you block these dates off for work,
Speaker 2: you can buy a cheap flight like the day before,
Speaker 2: a week before, you know, and there's ways to cut
Speaker 2: around that, and you can just go somewhere and not
Speaker 2: have anything booked and it becomes the best trip ever,
Speaker 2: like we've done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's certain areas that obviously that's better, and
Speaker 1: like these d Asia you can get away with that
Speaker 1: a lot more South America, it's harder to do that
Speaker 1: in like a lot of the Western European countries.
Speaker 2: I was thinking it's pretty easy in Europe. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I did it in Europe this past summer with MK.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. I guess you could always find cheapccommodations, but
Speaker 1: I also think that there are options to have very
Speaker 1: lavish accommodations, which that's kind of what I associate at
Speaker 1: Western Europe with. But you're absolutely right. I think you
Speaker 1: could find hostiles for twenty thirty bucks at night, and
Speaker 1: just a matter of getting there is the biggest thing. So, like,
Speaker 1: if you book out a flight even like five or
Speaker 1: six months in advance, just get it super cheap, and
Speaker 1: then just block those days off just getting there.
Speaker 2: Because MK was back to MKA was telling me she
Speaker 2: just flew to Paris, and she's like, if you book
Speaker 2: a flight like the week of or a few days before,
Speaker 2: it's actually really cheap.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can get lucky with that, But I would
Speaker 1: never bank on that.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying, if you block those dates off and
Speaker 2: you get lucky, yeah, it's a good way to travel cheaply.
Speaker 1: Got to get lucky, though, which is fine. If you're
Speaker 1: willing to take that risk, that's totally fine. I remember
Speaker 1: I did a trip once where I flew I circumnavigated
Speaker 1: the world as my plan, I flew west. I just
Speaker 1: kept flying west until I got back to Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: and the only flights that I had really booked were
Speaker 1: LA to Japan and then Japan to Indonesia, and then
Speaker 1: from there I would just like two days before I
Speaker 1: wanted to leave Indonesia, I'd book a flight, book to
Speaker 1: flight to Malaysia, spend a couple of days there, booked
Speaker 1: to flight to Singapore. And that's kind of how I
Speaker 1: did that trip, and it worked out. I got you know,
Speaker 1: some of the flights ended up being kind of expensive,
Speaker 1: but I would say majority of them I got at
Speaker 1: a pretty fair rate. And then like, once you get
Speaker 1: to Western Europe you can fly really cheaply. I was
Speaker 1: really surprised to see how expensive, for lack of a
Speaker 1: better word, domestic flights in South America were, because you
Speaker 1: can fly from like Germany to Greece for thirty bucks,
Speaker 1: but then flying from Argentina to Brazil is four hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: and it's like it's basically the same distance and it's
Speaker 1: within the same continent. You'd think it'd be a little cheaper,
Speaker 1: but it's not. Sometimes what else did I want to
Speaker 1: touch on before we say goodbye? Because we're gonna keep
Speaker 1: these quick, We're gonna keep them light, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to say there there was this quote from that geo.
Speaker 1: Oh I was. I was researching a little bit about
Speaker 1: like why do people travel? Like what is the what
Speaker 1: is the reason that we have such a yearning to
Speaker 1: want to travel? What do you think yours is?
Speaker 2: I just want to see and experience other cultures and
Speaker 2: meet people. I don't know.
Speaker 1: There wasn't interesting that. I didn't great food, I didn't
Speaker 1: write this down to talk about specifically, but I do
Speaker 1: remember reading about it just recently was college graduates are
Speaker 1: more likely to travel than non college graduates, which which
Speaker 1: kind of makes sense. But I I, you know, I
Speaker 1: didn't think there'd be such a drastic correlation between those
Speaker 1: two things. But I do think, like, you know, if
Speaker 1: you do have a yearning for higher education, maybe that
Speaker 1: kind of comes with an excitement to explore a little bit.
Speaker 2: I wonder if that'll change them because less and less
Speaker 2: people are going to college because it's not as necessary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, and I feel the same way too,
Speaker 1: But I mean, you can't argue the stats. You know,
Speaker 1: there it was like almost like triple whatever a non
Speaker 1: college graduate wanted to travel was college graduate and here
Speaker 1: I am a college you graus, but not even knowing
Speaker 1: how to talk that, as you were saying, not that
Speaker 1: really makes a difference anymore, but but yeah, but the
Speaker 1: according to this nat Gio article I read, it says
Speaker 1: moving to a neighboring band is always an option to
Speaker 1: avoid brewing conflict or just for a change in social scenery.
Speaker 1: The great affair is to move, so like even back
Speaker 1: to the roots of when we were way underdeveloped and like,
Speaker 1: just like foraging and hunting, we would move around a
Speaker 1: lot more than I think people gave us credit for.
Speaker 1: Obviously we're not going quite as far because airplanes didn't
Speaker 1: exist way back then, but you're still moving around a lot.
Speaker 1: And I do think that that urge to move around
Speaker 1: has kind of been instilled in us for a long time.
Speaker 1: Airplanes just kind of shook the shook the ground because
Speaker 1: now we can jump on one and be somewhere else
Speaker 1: in ten hours, somewhere all the way across the world.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then in that same article, I was wondering, like
Speaker 1: the psychological benefits of traveling, because you think there's got
Speaker 1: to be some and there was some stats and some
Speaker 1: analytics to back this, but they did say traveling is
Speaker 1: good for you, according to science to science, they did
Speaker 1: scientific studies and it actually does benefit your mental health,
Speaker 1: which makes sense. Every time I'm traveling, you know, you
Speaker 1: get excited, you you're optimistic about what the new place
Speaker 1: might be, You're you're curious about new experiences, and then
Speaker 1: when you come back, you're still kind of beaming a
Speaker 1: little bit from it. You get to share that experience
Speaker 1: with all your friends, which I think is really cool.
Speaker 1: And fun and that's a big part of it for
Speaker 1: me as well. So that's basically that's basically what we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about here. Traveling hopefully doesn't get stale.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's already gotten stale.
Speaker 2: No no, no, it won't get stale.
Speaker 1: It's not stale, I do. So what we're gonna do is,
Speaker 1: like next week, I want to talk in great depth
Speaker 1: about let's say a trip that I took to Argentina
Speaker 1: seven years ago, and I can hopefully kind of go
Speaker 1: through like my experiences there, and if you're planning a
Speaker 1: trip similar to that, you can use that hopefully as
Speaker 1: a resource.

Speaker 1: run through, and it's kind of a half biged idea
Speaker 1: at this point. But I hope you guys keep listening,
Speaker 1: and I hope you guys can hopefully just learn. I
Speaker 1: hate saying learn something. It makes me feel so freaking snooty,
Speaker 1: but but I want to be able to help people,
Speaker 1: and so hopefully this can help people. Maybe that's what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. So yeah, stay tuned. This is
Speaker 1: just week one. We got a lot of kings to
Speaker 1: work out. I'm going to keep doing my best to
Speaker 1: prepare and hopefully, hopefully, you know, this turns out to
Speaker 1: be good for people, myself specifically.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought you were going to lead into and
Speaker 2: maybe next week will suck a little bit less.
