What happens when two Midwestern podcasters venture to opposite corners of the world? A hilarious comparison of travel misadventures that proves no matter how different the destination, suffering makes for great storytelling.

Fresh from their journeys, Eric and Brad reconnect to swap tales of their vastly different trips. Eric's adventure to Phoenix, Arizona to visit his friend Jacko and attend U-Fest (featuring A Day to Remember) seems simple enough until you factor in his 12-year flying hiatus, the desert heat he describes as "the sun being personally mad at all my pores," and an unforgettably creepy Uber driver named "Cool Rich." Meanwhile, Brad's business trip to India involves a 40-hour journey, language barriers that left him stranded at the airport for hours, accommodations comparable to "a jail cell," and a forced pilgrimage to 108 nearly identical temples in 102-degree heat.

Through their parallel stories, unexpected commonalities emerge—the punishing heat, transportation disasters, and the universal feeling of being a fish out of water. The episode peaks with a sidesplitting countdown of the "Top Five Worst Things to Bring Through TSA Security," featuring scenarios so absurd they'll forever change how you view airport security lines.

Beyond the laughs, there's something deeply relatable about these travel tales. Whether navigating foreign languages in Hyderabad or trying to maintain composure in an Arizona Uber while high as a kite, both hosts capture that universal vulnerability of being away from home—and the stories we earn through our discomfort.

Join us for an episode that travels from rock concerts to religious statues, from dispensary visits to diplomatic tensions, all while proving that sometimes the best souvenirs are the stories you'll be telling for years to come.
