The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Welcome to the Absolutely Not podcast, where we do the most and the least at this same damn time.

I'm your host, Heather McMahon. I want to start a fire. Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another episode of the Absolutely

Not podcast.

I'm your host, Heather McMahon.

Welcome to the bonus episode. Best episode

always, Jeff, can you look up real quick? Look to the camera. Hi. Okay, Jeff. I'm getting a list

together. Oh, my God, you're screaming at me. Sorry. It's okay. I love you. I don't do this every week.

I know you don't. I'm here having a macha that will absolutely send my eyebrows ablaze.

Jeff brought the girls coffee to the office and we are doing the damn thing. This is a really

highly requested episode. Everyone wanted me to, you know, take 45 minutes to break down everything

we did in Japan. And, you know, I know you missed the stallion for a minute. So it's King Kong and Godzilla reporting live from the studio. And this is a bonus all about Japan. I feel like this is where we cue a song like, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Jeff, how are you feeling? How's the jet lag? How is your Asia experience? The jet lag was non-existent, which was really surprising.

Got some good sleep on that Delta plane on the way home and fell back into the routine as soon as we got back.

Went to bed at like midnight. So got my eight hours of sleep and back on schedule.

Back on schedule. And I said this this morning and then obviously since I've said it, of course, so many things have popped off. But going to Asia almost reset my central nervous system. Tina said something to me yesterday as we were doing our walkthrough for the special. She said, when you shut down, you got to run away and just completely disassociate. But that's how I reset. So I apologize to the people

in my life who think that I just run away from them. But it is truly the only way I can reset my central

nervous system is to go to the other side of the planet. And doing so, going to Asia really set me

right in a good way. And I feel like I've come back a better person, a more well-rounded person. And that is why I am so passionate about it travel. And we love to give you guys the tips and tricks of what we do. And also, I feel like, Jeff, we're fairly good guinea pinnicks. Like we, we are good travel buddies as complicated as you are in day-to-day life life and as complicated as I am as well in the 9-to-5 grind.

When we are abroad, would you say, hold my hand, we are a team?

We're a team domestically and abroad.

I'm mostly abroad.

But anyhow, so here we are to do a recap.
