Ernie. No, I'm Burt. I'm Burt. I did not see that coming. I did not see that coming. This is Burt. I hope you guys saw our Instagram stories where we decided we went, we're in Iceland. Obviously, that's what this whole podcast is going to be about.

We're talking Iceland. We're talking Iceland. We're talking Iceland. No. Because I don't know how. I'm surprised Cleo Deleave doesn't know that language. But we were in this room where it had Ernie and Burt beds. And so we are now Ernie and Bert.

Cleo's Burt, even though Burt's pretty negative, kind of a dick. We switched rules. You know what I probably should have been Burt. Wait, why are you Burt? There was a reason. Yeah, I don't know what it is. I can't remember. But I think that there is more Burt and Ernie stories in the future.

Yeah, we're definitely going to do some. Yeah. Eyes peeled. I'm tired. Guys, this has been a long week. Honestly, do we even know what city we're in right now? Do we know what time zone we're on? No, you know what?

I thought we were in the U.S. today because I was talking to this guy and I was talking to him about the currency. Yeah. And I was like, oh, you know, it's like American currency. And he's like, looked at me so confused. I was like, we're in Canada. In my own country. Welcome to my world where I don't know what day it is.

One of my friends always tells me, you know you've made it when you don't know what date is. And I said, I don't know about that. I think I'm just stupid. TBD. You know? But let's just go with that. Hey, cheers.

Cheers. To just a great trip. Oh, it was amazing. It was absolutely incredible. Yeah. We've had a couple life-changing trips, you know? Oh, yeah. Well, we'll talk to Italy and now Iceland.

And just to give a little bit of background, first of all, Caitlin, thank you for picking Iceland because... Well, you're in my date now. Yep. And, yes, we're telling you all that we are a couple. You're my boy, blue. Everyone's like, I've been getting these DM messages, being like, Hey, are you and Caitlin a couple now?

And as much as I wish that we were, God, I would, I would honestly consider liking vagina for you. I really, I'm, that is a compliment. And I'm not even trying to, well, I'm kind of trying to be funny, but I'm serious. Like, I would consider it just because I'd be like, I would live a very happy life with Cleo. And it's easy. We travel so well together. Yeah. I've already seen you naked.

Yep. I've seen you naked. Yeah, a few times. Too many times. Too many times. And, oh, I was going to say something. Oh, yeah. I know I think when you travel really well with someone it shows your true love yeah that's true

because we travel so well together yeah we really do and my stomach is getting a little bit more defined oh from all the last oh yes yes even though not really because we've been eating so much we have been eating like we don't give a F which I love that's what you should do traveling for sure but it's a bit of a problem because we've been traveling so much lately that it's like the wine the food starting Monday I am back on a strict I will say I'm pissed off at us for not trying the fermented shark in Iceland. But I will say, is it true? Because a shark is a mammal.

And is that kind of like cruelty to animals if we did eat the fermented shark? Because I'm kind of on like an animal. Yeah, same. I don't know, actually. But we eat fish. But I know because it's a fish, it's not a mammal. A shark has feelings. And I know that.

I know this is really wrong. Well, that's what Kurt Cobain told me once in a song. It must be true. Yeah. No, but I think, I feel bad in it. I'm sure so many people will have something to say against this, but I would feel so bad eating a dolphin, even a killer whale, even though they're dangerous or a whale. But there's something about a shark where I just don't feel as bad because they eat.

Because they eat anything. Yeah. They would eat me if I was in the ocean. That's a fair, valid point. But, but that, you know. I feel like we're going to have a lot of vegans coming after us. Shoot. Well, you know what.

And like we're both trying to eat way. Well, we don't eat meat. No. For me, obviously, because I eat fish because they don't have feelings. Yeah. And, um, yeah, so we are slowly but surely doing our part. But I am. And we wear noise vegan jackets to Iceland.

For sure. Yeah. And I was actually really surprised at how warm they were. They're the warmest jackets. They were so warm. And they're so cute. And we. We, it was a little obnoxious how many jackets we brought.

But we did our part because why did I, I sound more Canadian the more I hang out with you. We did our part. Hey, you can't lose that Canadian than you. And I don't want to. And I don't want to. But we wore a different coat every day. So very fashion forward in Iceland, sheke a F. Yeah.

But we also said, noise, if you're going to give us that many jackets, will you please donate some to the Covenant House? Yes. And they did. And that's amazing. If the cars out there could stop honking on these busy streets of Toronto, I would really appreciate it. Oh, I didn't even notice. Oh, that's because you live in Vancouver and I live in the burbs. Oh, yeah.

Every honk, I'm like, shut up. Well, so right now we're staying in a hotel in Toronto and right upstairs. Yeah. I'm on the fifth floor, on the sixth floor. They have their rooftop bar. And last night was a Tuesday night. And it was going. And I was like, oh, my God.

Going up on a Tuesday. Hey, that's, oh, no, it's Thursday. We had some good tunes going on in Iceland. You know what? Road tripping with you is pretty. fun well not as much with you you slept the whole time no I was joking no that's funny good point I actually was that that guy I was just so cozy you had a great playlist going and I just you know I was asking people on Twitter for the can you not traveling and I was thinking like traveling with a friend

like can you not so I'm like I can't think of anything you do that annoys me that's actually such a compliment I'm trying to think right now I'm like I mean sometimes you're just too nice and that's like the only thing that's the only thing I can think of that I'm like okay you're too nice to stop talking to people yeah I'm like who gives a shit about no but you know what and that's why I was going back to like when you travel so well with someone yeah same it was so easy what about when I toot in my sleep well I'm such a deep sleeper that I can't even notice I'm I think I'm joking thing I hope I don't tune my sleep but if I do I'm sorry my apologies watch me I'm the one tooting no you're the one snoring

oh yeah that's right only a couple times but i've learned how to give you a little foot tap and then we're good i know that's so cute yeah i think we already talked about that on a podcast didn't me how you snore um yeah i think so and then my boyfriend told kately just like give her a little foot tap and apparently kailin the next morning you're like oh my god it worked yeah you're not like a it's just like a nice little cute i would get i would get surgery if i was i'd be surgery i would if there was surgery that would fix it you mean a sleep apnea machine yeah or that yeah or that those are great. Because I think you could do some kind of surgery. And if anybody needs a sleep apnea machine, Brie, everybody knows Brie. Her husband sells them. So, you know, I didn't know, I didn't know

that he sold them. Oh, yeah. I will contact you. And you know what he says? What? You are, it is proven, scientifically proven if you use a sleep apnea machine, that you have better sex, that you're a happier person, you get more work done, you're more successful because your sleep is so important to how you perform in your day-to-day life. Really? Really. I am getting one. But you know what? I don't snore, but can I please have a sleep apnea machine? Yeah, we need to call him tomorrow.

Yeah. Asap. Yeah. Also, what? I told you to keep you on track here. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm going back. Circle back.

Go on. I started telling everyone here. So we were lucky enough to have a brand partnership. Oh, my gosh. I just tag along with no. Hey, stick with me, kid. Yeah, I will. Okay.

I absolutely will. with this app called no it's not an app it's a website and then then they plan your trip on the app

but we have three destinations they're like you guys can either pick Iceland Japan or Portugal and so in my head I was like okay where would I want to go

first I think Japan would be my first place because it's like somewhere I've always wanted to go you're curious yeah but it's far I'm not that curious I mean I'm curious

but I'm not that curious Yeah. So I was like, okay, Japan. And then after Portugal, just because I love Europe. Like, I love Italy and Spain. And I haven't been. And I was like, oh, Portugal I haven't been to. And then Iceland, Iceland had never been on my radar. And when I was picked Iceland, were you like, damn it meaner. Yep. I actually was. I didn't ever told you this. But when I was like, I'm like, Iceland in December. Yeah. It's going to be freezing. My Mexican ass is not going to love that. That's true. And I've always said, I was like, I don't understand why people go to cold vacation spots. Vacation spots. Because. I'm like for me it's all about like the heat and the warmth and all that and I will tell you and I told you this I was like thank you for picking Iceland I was blown away yeah I love that you went in with lower expectations oh is somebody coming in our room you know what I tried going into the room next to yours and I was like I'm probably scaring someone but then they're getting us back yeah there's a talk about going off track yeah classic Caitlin there was there used to be a SNL skit that was called lowered expectations. Oh, really? Lowered expectations. Anyways, you had low

expectations going into Iceland and it blew your mind. I had very high expectations going into Iceland because it was on my bucket list. I've seen people go on like Instagram and I've just been like, holy shit balls. And so when I went, I still was blown away and I had very high expectations. It was insane. It was really like so unique in a trip of a lifetime. Like we obviously love. of Italy because the people, the food, the wine, the stunning beauty of everything, the stuff, everything about Italy is like, ugh. It was amazing. But you, you wouldn't really ever pick to go to Iceland.

And I think it's like, you'd have to have a reason to go. So partnering with Noken, it was so nice to like, first of all, the app is genius. Why didn't we think of that? I'm a little bit mad that we didn't think of it. I know. It's genius. Well, and I also think for us. Because I'm not a planner and they plan everything.

And funny enough, as your manager, I'm also not a planner. It's like the blind leading the blind here. We are the blind leading the blind. We laugh about it all the time. We almost miss all of our flight. Actually. And then every time we like make it and then they'll go, well, hey, do you want first class? Okay.

I mean, there's just something that we just, we make it work. We have so many horseshoes. Yeah. We make it work. I think my new favorite movie on flights is The Lion King. It's on every flight. I will watch that one next. I actually thought about throwing it on

on my last one but I fell asleep the whole time But every flight I've been on recently The Lion King is on it And have you seen the new preview for the actual Lion King movie That's coming out? No Well, remind me after talking about this to show you Okay, and let's watch it together

Okay, well, I already have plans to watch it with somebody Just kidding I love the Lion King I know I know I always put it on to fall asleep on the plane it's just something nostalgic about it. Maybe it's because it reminds me of that, like, magical feeling from my childhood.

You know what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah. I cannot believe the original came out 25 years ago. You want to feel old. The original Lion King came out 25 years ago. No. Yes. It feels like it was five years ago.

Yeah, that's why they're doing this new film. It's 25 year anniversary over it. They're doing it over at Disney Animal Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World. Do you want to go? Yeah. That's going to be part of it. Maybe after Luduke Alberta, we'll go to Disneyland. That can be on our bucket list.

I would love to. It sounds like so much fun. There's going to be an entire festival of Lion King with a theatrical experience celebrating the music from the original. That's amazing. Ah, subpoena, da bea. We can do a duet. Okay.

I just heard what that sounded like. Puma, not in front of the kids. Hakuna matata. You know, I can play, one of the only songs I can play on the piano is, can you feel the love tonight? that's my favorite liking song well you're welcome i was already romantic as a young wait till i serenade you with can you feel the love tonight done it even has immersive backdrops so you can step into the scenes from the film and get those precious selfies we all know

how important those are i need to get back to all disney world i need to well as content creators of our generation we have to we how could we do it without disney and the last time i went to disney world when was it i don't know it was well we need to go back asap it was that long I'm looking at it now, and it's like the year of the anniversary for Disney. It's going to be incredible. This is the year. Disney's Hollywood Studios is celebrating 30 years, and you can party with your Pixar pals. Oh my God, Toy Story.

They have wonderful worlds of the Incredibles, Monsters, Inc. Cars, Toy Story. I love Toy Story. Yeah, me too. So Toy Story Land is apparently huge. It has 11 acres. And it's made so you can feel like one of the toys in Andy's backyard. Okay, well, I'm not lying.

We'll need to watch Toy Story right before going. Okay. There's a roller coaster called the Slinky Dog Dash where you get to ride on Slinky's back. Okay. Or the alien swirling saucers. Oh, and they have one of those 4D rides called the Toy Story Mania. Have you ever been on a 4D ride? No.

They do not give me motion sickness. I enjoy every second of it. Oh, we'll see. Okay. Then over at the Magic Kingdom Park, it's only Mickey's 90th birthday. This is the year to go. I'm telling you. Happy birthday, Mickey.

What's up? 90 years. That's impressive. And who's older? Mickey or that mouse from Green Mile. Have you seen that movie? Mickey. I don't know. They'll be celebrating their birthday all year long.

How do we get in on this deal? There's a new parade, stage show, and more limited time experiences and merchandise available. Well, that's the deal. We're booking our tickets. Tomorrow. Okay. Don't tease me. I didn't even tell you about Epcot.

Looking for a little more culture with your magic. Maybe the Epcot International Festival of the Arts will take care of that for you. It's going to be the ultimate celebration of the... art, entertainment, and food, from culinary art to performing art and visual arts. They have it all with a touch of Disney magic on top. There will be special galleries, visiting artists, dining experiences, concerts, and hands-on activities. It's a can't-miss artful experience.

I've said it before, Cleo, I'll say it again. You can relive the nostalgia of Disney or create some new memories. There are so many cool attractions. I just talked about a bunch of them, and that was just a drop in the bucket. You can conquer the mountain trifecta. that's when you ride space mountain splash mountain and the big thunder mountain all in the same day did it as a kid why not give it a shot as an adult i dare you okay dare accept it bring that childhood back to life and make some new experiences that you can appreciate even more as an adult i feel like i just won

the super bowl because mama i'm going to disney world but we can also be because we're not big planners sometimes i feel like we miss out on a few things like in iceland we because it's so dark we probably would have slept a little bit longer but we were on a schedule and they're like okay you have a glacier hike you have to be there at 10 yeah which was a two hour drive yeah and i was like a two hour drive do we really want to do this but those that two hour drive was insane and you know what the road trip was so part of the whole iceland experience like driving the landscape and everything is so different you know like in one side there's like mossy fields and like black rocks and the other side it's just pure white snow it's crazy and then the sun is like never fully up and never

fully like well it's fully down for a while actually kately 20 hours but when it's up it just always stays like it's always just a beautiful like sunrise slash sunset the whole time it's stunning well and you would never experience that anywhere else and i would have never gone on a glacier hike if it wasn't for no kid i would have been like i would have been like glacier hike maybe we'll get to this later but like would you say the glacier hike was definitely a highlight definitely a highlight it was a few of my friends were reaching out being like were you just doing that for Instagram or did you actually enjoy that and I was like honestly yeah to be honest I was doing it for Instagram but once I got there and did it it was one of the best things I've ever done

it was it was really cool you you strapple what are they crampons but they were intense ones like they had really big spikes yeah and you just literally hike an ice glacier which we learned is not frozen water so of course she's like so can anyone tell me what how many people were on our hike uh there's 10 of us okay and then so she's like can anyone tell me what a glacier is and it's like duh and of course it's frozen water yeah it's like it's frozen water and she's like no probably being like that's she was wait she was really hoping somebody would say that i was like it's frozen water and she's like actually it is not so for all of you who don't know what a glacier is it's compacted snow

yeah imagine everyone's like get dull we know what a glacier is and we're like so for everyone who doesn't no we knew one person same person who's also like i also didn't know i had two vagina holes you know i'm never letting on moving on oh my gosh anyways but that was stunning i mean and all of the iceland trip is on my highlights on my instagram story if people want to watch not i'm not even trying to plug myself i'm actually just trying to be like go look at the magic of iceland And it's, like, you know, you were saying with the terrain at one point, because it's always sunrise or sunset, the colors in the skies are beautiful. There's like a lot of pinks. And I remember, so I live in Vancouver.

We both lived in Vancouver for a long time. And what I find really stunning about Vancouver and unique is that there's the ocean and there's the mountains so close together. So close together. And we were on this road in Iceland and there was the water and right beside it was the mountain. Like, so close together. Just stunning. Volcano. Frican volcano. Volcano and the Icelandic horses. Oh, the Icelandic horses were I mean, they just were a little added bonus. Yeah. Just prancing around. They were so cute. They're adorable.

So cute. Cleo really wanted to take one home. We were trying to figure out a scheme. Someone told me that I should, you know, those like guns that. A tranquilizer? Um, as we talk about loving animals. Oh, one of those guns, you know, to shoot the. Shrinking guns. Oh, yeah, that's probably not animal friends. No, no, probably not. I always tell my niece, I'm going to throw her in the dryer and shrink her because she keeps growing. Yeah, she's terrified. And you're like, I hate it. She's growing up.

I know, because she's like, I'm like, hi, honey. Oh, how, oh, you look so cute. I love you so much. And she goes, well, you're used to her saying that back. Yeah, but you, you know, kids turn 10 and all of a sudden, they're little dicks. No, she's never a little dick. She's still such a sweet. She's like, she's just different.

She was, I was like, how's your boyfriend? I know she has one. His name's J.J. Oh. And he's a gentleman and a scholar. What? How do you know? My sister tells me everything.

He's just a little. He calls my sister like, Mrs. blah, blah. And he tells Sidney, I guess she was trying to impress him by talking about football. And he goes, Sydney, you don't have to like football just to impress me. Oh. Like he lets her be. Do you imagine?

I think I'm married. Yes. Yes. I think he's her. JJ. You know? J.J. and Sydney.

That's her guy. Okay, well, I want to meet JJ But that's what I was all bitter And I'm like, Haley, tell her that love is dead Tell her he's going to break her heart And it is going to be the end of her Just kidding Your sister should know better to tell you about

Their crazy love story right now I know Too soon Too soon Everyone's going to get so annoyed at us Nope Everyone's going to recycle the two What's the story behind the two

Oh, I know Okay, so everybody that listens to this podcast knows that I always quote family guy. I'm always like, this is one time my family. It's like, grow up, Caitlin, but I can't. And so for years, I've always been saying too blah, blah, blah. Because this one family guy episode, Peter is supposed to go to a physical, but he's too scared. And Lois' wife keeps trying to make him go. And then he pretends to go, but he really goes out with the boys.

And he comes back, and Lois goes, Peter, how is your physical? And Peter goes, oh, it's good. it's too good yeah too healthy matter of fact and then he's like don't know how it was possible and she's like

you didn't go to your physical did you he was like I did not so now with everything Cleo and I have developed this saying that we recycled from family ago where it's to this well you know what my favorite one was

so about three weeks ago yeah I know what you're going to say this is so good About three weeks ago, we decided to do a sleepout for the Covenant House. It was a charity. And P.S, thank you to every single person I donated. Every single person. Even a dollar made a difference.

Oh, for sure. And then so what we had to do is we had to sleep outside. And I will say that I was for sure a little bit freaked out because I'm like sleeping outside for a whole night and I don't do well if I don't have a lot of sleep. So we were extra prepared. We had everything. I had five layers on. Because I always want people to know.

that we're not pretending to be homeless for the night. We can never imagine what it would be like to be in their position. We're just showing our respect and raising awareness and raising money and we're just doing it to show them we care. And to tell you the truth, like just how, I guess scared I was about it and I'm scared. Whatever the word is. Like I was thinking about it all week, thinking about that I had to sleep outside for one night.

Even that alone made me realize that much more how crazy that is, that I was dreading it for a full week. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And it's like, I was too, and I've done it before. I knew what to expect. But we had, we were blessed with great weather.

Well, that was the, yeah, it was raining all day. And then, of course, like half an hour before we have to go out there, it stops raining. Yeah. And of course, when it rains, it also gets warmer. Right. So we were all tucked in and all of the sun, we're just like, sweating. We look over at each other. We're like, it's hot and then it's too hot.

Too hot. Yeah. I'm too sweaty. Too hot. Matter of fact. oh my god so that really started it and i was just a little dying laughing so we definitely carry that through to our iceland trip yeah everything is to this yeah we definitely too much fun on the dance for at pablo disco bar oh okay guys wait really quickly so we start we get to um not really

quickly we can't just pass this story by this we got to focus on Pablo disco bar not really quickly really slowly and really detailed let's relive it yeah let's relive it well first Oh, we get to Reykjavik, the cutest town. And I'm obsessed. So that's the capital of Iceland. And I was really surprised at how European Rakevic was. Well, it's in Europe. Well, it's in Europe.

I was expecting it to be more like Icelandic. Yeah. It felt like Germany. Well, maybe that's the only place. I've been to like Italy and Germany. I think I'm so like well traveled. You are. Too well traveled.

Too much. Too much traveling. Matter of fact. That's the best part at the end. As a matter of fact. But it was, yeah, it was like, it reminded me a lot of Europe. It was so quaint. And I was so excited.

We get there. We have a little nap. Yeah. Oh, we didn't know what I was like, we have a little nap. And I was like, ready to go explore. And of course, we've traveled all night. And then I was like, I'm going to let Caitlin sleep. Caitlin slept throughout the whole first day light.

I only missed a whole day. I missed a whole day. That was embarrassing. But that meant that she had a lot of energy that night. I really did. So we went to. tore it up oh yeah we went so went to a few restaurants everything was amazing and then we're like where do we go out so we went on the no can app and then it says like nightclubs we're not even getting

paid you guys to say this like i honestly am very passionate about the nocanab oh yeah well i mean i think it was a very different travel experience it really was yeah they gave you suggestions they even said at the airport get your get your wine at the airport because it's 10 times as expensive in the city i'm like thank you oh yeah guys p s iceland is expensive It's actually the most expensive place I've ever been I was blown away 28 dollar soup Yeah

Yeah it was just a soup It was just like a French onion soup 28 dollars American Which is like 35 dollars Canadian Great math I was like oh my god This better be the best soup ever eaten

But side note Actually it was amazing Snaps if anybody goes to Reykavik Snaps It was very That was a very like French place And so go on the app And we're like okay let's go see

like what nightclubs and I was like how do we not go to a club that's named Pablo disco bar yeah you have to so we did and that was the best decision we made of the whole trip next to the glacier hike the music was one after the other after the other I was like are you kidding we did not stop dancing for two and a half hours we didn't stop no and after an hour we're like okay after let's go you know and then we're like after the next song and I need you more And then each time we would go, after two hours of dancing, we were like, two hours. Too much dancing. But after that, we were honestly like, hey, the next song that we're like, nah, then we'll go.

But I think deep down, we knew they weren't going to play a bad song. We knew. We just didn't want to leave. It was on fire. It was a legit disco bar. Like disco ball, everybody's dancing. Everybody's having the best time. And nobody stops.

No. Like, it was like four in the morning when we got home and we're like, wait, what? Yeah, in true European fashion. They just know how to party. They know how to have fun. Without overdoing it. No. Yeah, everyone's doing sloppy.

Nobody binge drinks. Everybody just enjoys. We were for sure the most drunk. We were binge drinking and wasted. We definitely looked like idiots. Yeah, we were definitely the American slash Canadians that stood out like a sore thumb because they were like, we're like, they don't even go here. I mean, we just had a great time, but Europe knows how to do it.

They know how to do it. Everybody just has social beverages, has a good time, connects, they're happy. Europeans or a lot of other places in the world, people get excited to do things. They get excited for, like, their adventures are meeting up. Like, I feel like that's one thing I love about Europe. And I get on board and like, okay, what's next? Yeah, you get in the European mindset. I'm in bed at 11. Totally.

I don't go out past one. I can't. My body shuts down. And here, I was like, okay. There's something in the air. Electric. It's electric. Electric. Even when the sun is down for 20 hours of the day, there's something electric about Iceland. Yeah. And so. Dancing in the snow. It snowed on our last day, and that was amazing. That was. It was incredible. I say amazing a lot. But it really was. It's a very accurate word to describe our trip. Claire, are you ready?

Yes. 60 seconds. Put it. on your timer. Go. That's exactly how long this commercial is going to last. Okay. You know what else you can do in about a minute? I mean, I can think of a few things, but you know what else you can do in a minute? You can get an offer for your car with true car. That's right.

Join us on the first degree every Wednesday on podcast.1.com in the PC1 app. Also remember to rate and review.

You're listening to Off the Vine. It was kind of weird because it didn't, I was expecting it sent to be all white. And we have to tell this one story. It was so cold. The second day, we have to do a little photo shoot with Caitlin for the dues because. Yeah, you guys better appreciate the scrunchies because man, did I go through hell for those pictures. That was unbelievable. So we couldn't close the car door with one hand.

We had to use both hands to close. And I don't know how you didn't blow away. I put a couple of those rocks in my pocket. Yeah, I was like, Caitlin is going to fly away. I actually fell over because of the wind. I did. I fell over. It was, and, you know, like, even the photographer is like, oh, boy.

Like, we knew we weren't going to be able to get a ton of good content because how do you get that much content with wind? Your hair was just like, oh, luckily, we are self-proclaimed content creators of our generation. We kept taking pictures in Iceland and they'd be, like, stunning. We'd be like, wow, we are the content creator. of our generation. We are too good. We are too good at this.

Okay, we'll stop. No, we won't. This is too much. The weather in Iceland is all over the place, which I didn't tell you this, but I didn't know until after. That was a big windstorm in Iceland. That wasn't actually. I wasn't actually regular.

No, I just thought it was regular because I'm like, of course. I was like way up north. Ooh, cool wind blowing. Look in all your photos, Caitlin. It's like my face is like smushed from the wind. Like, it's actually blowing my nose side. ways no you guys better enjoy that content because that was not easy to get please do um but see what i did there do please do i love it oh anyways too good do good what else do we do

do circle back for me oh yeah but i was going to say so for those of you don't know we only had five hours of daylight so the sun i think they know he said it like three times oh yeah okay well the sun rises like 10 10 30 and then it sets at 3 30 which is crazy crazy crazy Man. And then so when we stayed at Vic, after the day that we did the glacier, we went and they have a black sand beach. That was stunning. And yeah, and then we, not really beach weather, but you got to see the black sand beaches. Yeah, it was really cool. Is it ever beach weather there? No, I don't think so. I think the warmest that it gets is like 18 to 20 degrees, which is I don't know how much in Fahrenheit. But I mean, kind of maybe. Yeah. But I, we kept talking about it.

It'd be crazy living in Iceland. And I actually don't think it would be good. for your body like your daylight all the time in the summer there's no darkness yeah and then there's barely any light and there's no blackout blinds in the hotels which is cray well you would think that that would just be part of it right so I think that that'd be really hard on your body I think the people who just like grew up there and don't know anything else can do it but the people who move there probably like but the crazy thing is most of the people that we met like the servers and everything they were all from somewhere else yeah so true. They were all from Europe or Australia. Because I think you just have to like go experience Iceland for a while. Yeah. And like it's, it's just different than anywhere else. I feel like all Europeans travel everywhere in Europe too. You know, they're all kind of imports from other places. Yeah. I'm going to Sweden in August.

Oh my God. Why am I not your date? Well, you know, because your boyfriend is. Well, no, I'm his. Fine. I'm his date. But you know, I mean, like, Adam, you want two dates. I mean, just come with us. She's better than one. Yeah. It's like, he'll be like, okay. Too good. No. I'm like. I'm like. I think that he would be a one lucky man. Yeah, I agree. I would have to agree with you on that one. But it is. But I just wonder how different it is. I just love,

I feel like I grow as a person every time I travel. But I also think you're liking it more and more. And I feel that you've been more adventurous too now when you go on trips. Yeah. I'm not like, yeah, I'm like. You have more energy to do things. It's true. Whereas like before I think it was newer.

So you didn't know what to expect. So I feel like you're like more and more curious about everything. That's so true. Which is. I think it's then you enjoy the place more like I want I just want to keep traveling okay wait what's on your bucket list what's next okay um oh next is taking you to Leduc alberta yeah that's that's on your bucket list that's on my bucket list I need to see where my little bean grew up yeah you have to I'll take you all down the two seconds of main street okay and you are gonna love everything and we're

gonna see the um northern lines yes because we saw them in in Iceland which was so I was so happy you saw them yeah i've seen them from growing up in alberta but we did get very lucky they were dancing and shit yeah and that we only had one clear night yeah it was actually you know what our trip couldn't have gone better there's nothing that went wait is there anything that went wrong no i know i know no other than us potentially missing but we didn't miss our flight we didn't no it was it was awesome we got to see the northern lights we got to hike a glacier we got to dance we went back to Pablo Disco bar on the Monday night for Latin night and that was just as good and how have we not talked about the Blue Lagoon yet oh because we were saving that best for last it was yeah best for last before

the Canyon knots traveling addition yes those are good and I mean okay well we what we did say is the blue lagoon of course is super touristy yeah um and everyone was like oh I don't know it's very touristy but I'm like that was some magical shit right there yeah and I think we got lucky because it snowed the night before so driving over there was my favorite drive the sun was kind of coming through these clouds. It was pink clouds everywhere and everything was white. And then at one point, I was like, well, we messed our turn because Caitlin was doing terrible job navigating.

I always am. And I was like, so where are we going on the roundabout? I was like, oh, shoot. I was like, we got to go back. We probably did like eight loops around eight roundabouts. Like we couldn't figure it out because of me. There, that's your can you not Caitlin for traveling. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Terrible navigator, terrible road trip partner because I fall asleep because I just have, I fall asleep and then I forget to tell you where to go. And I was like, where am I going right now? Remember when I did that in Italy? I fell asleep and I forgot to tell you where you go and you just decided to take a turn. Yeah, that was the worst. That was terrible.

We took an extra four hours. That actually was the worst. That was the worst. Yeah. Not fun. But with that, it was hilarious. At one point, I'm like, so where is the blue locoon? And we kept talking about how beautiful it was on the left hand side.

And you're like, it is smack down in the middle of the beauty. And I was like, yes. And it really was. Yeah. I mean, the situation with showering and like the change rooms. A little greasy. Yeah, yeah. A little greasy.

But being in the blue lagoon, there's a swim up bar in the freaking blue lagoon. Just go watch my Iceland highlights. And it's way warmer because I was like, I was dreading getting into a bathing suit. I'm like, how am I getting into bathing suit? Here's my confession. You ready for this? I need to get laser hair removal. I need to.

The fact that I haven't is my confession. Yeah. Second confession. Girl did not shave in Iceland and went. to go in the Blue Lagoon in a white bathing suit. And I was like, what's up Europe? This is very European of me. That's what I kept saying.

I'm like, don't worry about it. There was, yeah, it's not like they were all tourists in the Blue Lagoon shaved. Oh, wait. They were. But I was like, you know what? I'm just going to rock it. We'll be in the water anyways. We didn't see anyone naked in the Blue Lagoon.

I don't think that's allowed. Or is it, I wonder. I don't know. In Europe? I don't know. I feel like it would be. There is, yeah. I get, you know it, you're probably right.

Is there anything. else we're missing from our trip because I kind of want to get to the traveling can you not so let's get to the traveling it's I just overall great trip yeah can't wait for our next adventure to a great I'm not gonna lie I'm like scared you're gonna get married and like not never never or maybe I'll find somebody and take them on the trips now and that's what you should be worried I was just gonna say uh I think I should be the one who's worried you're my bert for life but earning Bert can't separate it for too long no and I don't know if you heard this, but I'm going to read you a quick article on Bert and Ernie.

Bert and Ernie are indeed a gay couple, Sesame Street writer claims. So, if you ever get lonely. It's like foreshadowing. I'm like, so. Rie, rea. Abba. Wait, I want to know if people are liking with Bert and Ernie. We got to do more.

Well, I feel like if you understand Burton and Ernie, you like it. If you don't, if you're like too young. Then we just look really weird. I just dropped another hundred, hundred followers on Twitter. Darn it. It's okay. It's okay. We'll get them back.

Hey. We just want quality. Yeah. That's true. That's a good point. Quality and people that just love you. Okay. Are you ready for this?

Yep. Traveling can you nots. Uh, can you not? From, uh, Twitter land. Thank you for saying this, Marissa. CP 82. Can you not clap when the plane lands? I can't. But okay, do people still do that? I feel like it hasn't I haven't heard it in a while. I feel like it's when you like it's a bunch of like young douchers landing in Vegas. Yeah. And it's like the pilot can't hear you. And like why are you clapping? I don't even

like clapping in general. Like clapping is a little bit of a pet peeve of mine. Like slapping your hands together. I have a really loud clap. Oh. You would hate it. Oh. It's piercing loud. I don't Why? Well, why don't you just give it a little softer touch? Because I like it. Oh, yeah. I'm like, yeah, look how good I can clap. Can you not?

Can you not? Not into it. Wait, really quickly, I wonder if there is some flying etiquette. I wonder what pilots and flight attendants would say to that. Well, we should have asked them on Twitter. Oh, yeah. I should have a flight attendant on my podcast just to do an hour of can you not. Yeah.

Like Rebecca, taking shoes off on the airplane without socks on. It's gross. Gross. Gross. Calina can you not stand up right when the plane lands especially when you're in the second to last row on the plane trust me we're all going to get off the plane I hate when people are in a rush and like we are all going to be waiting together at the baggage claim or we're all going to get up like you know we all have to get off this plane the worst was some guy pushed me on a plane once a man pushed me and I said wow what great plane etiquette and he goes I have another plane to crash what's a deal I have another plane to catch and I have another plane to catch and I I said, so do I. We all do. Like, you don't push a woman.

No. Or a man. Anyways. But I will say, it is quite nerve-wracking when you think you're going to miss your next flight. Yeah, but people are always so nervous, but like, really, it'll take you a lot to miss your flight. As long as you're there before, like, 15 minutes before that door closes, your golden pony boy. Monica, can you not ask me if I live in an igloo the moment I tell you I'm Canadian? This has happened to me on so many flights.

I'm traveling to a destination and away from Canada. I've had numerous people be like, oh, are there actually igloos there? I'm not joking. I've never seen one. Have you? An igloo? Yeah. I built one once.

Cool. Thanks. I'm like sweeping it. Okay. Too warm. I'll bring the fur jackets. Yeah. It would be too warm.

Hey, let's build an igloo when we go. An igloo? I said that and I was like weird. An igloo. When we go to Ladook, if we go in the winter. Fine, then. Fine. Would we sleep in an igloo?

No. No. I mean, it's actually... Too gold. Yeah. It's actually warmer than you think. Oh, wow. I don't think I've ever seen this.

Shant B says couples who pick a window and aisle seat in the same row, leaving the single travelers to sit in the middle seat between them. Huge can you not when they talk to each other the whole flight and don't share their packed snacks with you. What? That's a huge can you not. I've never even seen that before Me either

That's rude You know what That is freaking rude Can you not Ooh Mare Murr dog Can you not

Read my text Over my shoulder Also recline your seat back So hard It bruises me You know what There's some controversy There's some

There's some controversy Between reclining your seat Well sorry If I can recline my seat You can too Why would they Why would you not recline your seat.

Yeah. But I will say, Cleo, I hate when people sit in the window seat and leave their window up. I shut the window. Okay. Okay. So I just learned this two weeks ago. Okay. That it's actually, I didn't know that.

The etiquette. Yeah. The etiquette is that you're supposed to close the window. Yes. But wait, why is that? Why does it bother you? In case, because I like to sleep on planes. Yeah.

But just a sleep mask. Well, that's, that reeks of effort. Speaking of, oh my God. I have to tell them this. This is so funny. So we are leaving Iceland to go to Toronto and we're going through security. And of course, Caitlin gets stopped. They're like, are all your liquids out in a bag?

I'm like, yep. I had about 30 liquids in my purse, not in a bag. 30. 38? 50. Oh, 52. It was hilarious. So she actually.

That lady was a straight yacht. She was actually then taking it to the next level, taking everything with your lip glosses. she took out lipstick and was like mm and then put it in a bag i'm like i don't have to take out lipstick it's not liquid because of it we were there for 15 minutes taking every single piece of and i was like well i just traveled through a different airport with all this in my bag you're just being mean but having said that we had the best travel experience we put eye masks on hydrater so next time just put in your head roller next time put it in the little eye mask because it makes a big difference not like the eye see jenel g is saying can you not recline your seat all the way during a flight

including during meal, drink service. I do that because what if I'm sleeping? What if I sleep the entire flight and my seat is reclined? This is controversial. People do not like recline seats. And to them, I say, beat it because I like to sleep on planes. And if my seat reclines, you best believe I'd be comfortable. Yeah, but it's the same thing because then you recline yours and you get the exact same room.

Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Sit in row one. Yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about that, Janelle G. but I like the back of your wedding dress and your picture. Oh.

Oh, yeah. Molly Cizan. Can you not fall asleep and proceed to lean your head on my shoulder and snore simitane. Fair. Simutaneously. Wow. Reading's hard. Reiting's hard.

No, but that's fair. That is very fair. I had a lady to that once and you better believe I snapped chatted the shit out of her. Sorry, she's famous. Got at least six. fake your views what what i don't know i was trying to not sound dushy and realize how dushy i sounded when we were at pablo disco bar i guess we were we met this guy who was just like the bar manager and he was so funny and uh and then i guess kately posted him on the story and someone

messaged him he's in iceland and he got a message you're famous yeah and remember some girl came up to me and she goes are you kately and i was like yeah she goes can you make a video for my girlfriends saying that they can have your sloppy seconds. Oh, yeah. I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. I mean, disgusting. Not cool.

Anyways. Oh, funny. Victoria Smith, can you not use an iPad to take pictures and or videos? It's hilarious. I was in Bali once and I remember that. No, it's so bad. It's like the grandma with the iPad. Oh, gosh.

Oh, my gosh. Do people do this? Can you not brush your teeth in the airport bathroom? Do people do that? Yeah, I have. Ew. Wait, why is that gross? I don't know.

Spitting in the sinks. I don't know. Oh, sorry. Well, now you're going to think of us every time. Yep. I mean, there's so many. Okay, so I should have and brush my tea. Do you have any Kenya nuts traveling?

Well, I don't like when people talk to me on a plane, but you probably like talking to people on a plane. I used to, but now that is like my focus zone. I love working on planes. Yeah, you're good at that. And so then if they start talking to me, then I feel like, I'm like, I'm not getting this done and this done. I actually had a man I sat beside on a plane recently when I,

was on my way. I can't remember where I was going. Who knows? He was, he was, he gave me so many recommendations for like restaurants around the country. He was so sweet. His daughter was like a sports, um, girl like, cool. I don't know what to call her. Like an athlete? No, no, no, no. Like, she, like a reporter. Oh, yeah. Um, he was awesome. So, no, you can meet some really awesome people. Yeah, he was great, but usually I don't like that. Wait, what's a can you not that really bothers me? Ooh, can you not cough openly and aggressively on a plane from Megan, young lady Megan. I had a guy sneezed 11 times behind me once.

Yeah, that's a lot. I'm trying to, there's a lot of repeat, can you not? Because airplanes are annoying. But all in all, like, I love flying. I don't mind flying. You got to do it right, though. Yeah. You got to have your face products under eye gel peck.

You got to work. You got to get a little nap in there. You got to watch movies, have some wine. Only one glass wine and then hydrate. Yeah. And it's just like a time where I feel like it's just time to yourself and no one's calling you and I don't get Wi-Fi on my phone. It's like you're not getting all these messages.

So I feel like it's a nice time to even like put on a meditation. Yeah. Just get a little quick meditation in there. I feel like it's just hard on my, in my day-to-day. And appreciate that you're just freaking flying through the air, bro. Totally. You're not connected to the ground. You're flying through the air.

Yeah. And that is a beautiful thing. I'm going to end it with one from a flight attendant. Oh, okay. Shelby Wilkinson. Flight attendant here. Can you not? Blame me for weather delay since I'm actually not Mother Nature.

And can you not stand up as soon as I make an announcement to please remain seated for the remainder of the flight? Why are people on planes just, they just don't get it? I don't know. Shelby, great point. You know what, Shelby? Yeah. I am not one of those people. No.

I stay seated. Even when the seatbelt sign is on, I won't take it off. Oh, no, no, no. Safety first. Safety first, my friends. Well, you know what? I think this is a great, great therapy. All in all, traveling is amazing. We highly recommend traveling.

You live once. You know what? It will expand your knowledge of the world. It will make you see things differently. It'll make you appreciate people. And you won't feel as scared of the shitty people that are really out there because you'd be like, well, there's Europeans and they know how to live life. Exactly.

My recommendation, travel. Salute. Salute. You know what? Thank you, Cleo, for always being a great guest. Always being a great travel, buddy. I can't wait for the next one. And always taking great photos of me.

Wait, where are we going next, you said? A La Duke. All right. We will be podcasting and reporting back from Beaners Town where she grew up. Absolutely. And check my Instagram highlights for that one, because it's going to be great. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
