Hi, okay, so first I have to full transparency. I'm taping this call, but I'll explain why

momentarily. Is mom there too? Okay, so we're doing an episode about place it like

vacations or just trips we took with our families and I wanted to ask if you

guys remember any particularly weird or interesting trip that we did when I was

a kid. Well, do you remember the kick that must have coincided with the summer Olympics or something?

Oh, we're in Canada. Well, we did a sort of a circle round. Yeah, each of the

great lakes and made sure we at least put a toe in to each of the great lakes and we also

don't remember that. Well, we did like we did an opening ceremony where we pretended to be

molecules and then there was a competition about putting up the tent. I'd remember that. I

remember trying to put up my tent as fast as I could so I could win the competition. I do,

yeah, I remember that trip. I remember that trip. Finally, we went to Niagara. We did a bunch of

other stuff. We toured that huge mansion in Toronto where they shot the accent. Yeah, they had

those like huge stables in it. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, that was a good trip. I have good memories

of that trip. So everybody's got a story like this. A time they went on a family trip, a family

vacation and we wanted to hear those stories. So we asked the Atlas team to tell us about a memorable

place that their family had taken them. And after the break, we are going to hear those stories.

We are going to get thrown into the ocean. We're going to meet Klingons and we're going on vacation

with Thomas Jefferson. That and much more after the break.

It was really funny. That is funny. Man. I mean, it wasn't even funny if you'd have to get

sprayed, but it's all funny. It's all fun in games until you get sprayed by a skunk.

My most memorable place that someone in my family took me to is a scrap of the Atlantic Ocean
