because they made this a question and this is
how I take quizzes I'm gonna say true because
why would you put those things together if you?
Didn't think it was true. I Take quizzes a little
different. I I try and think about the person
who made them instead of the actual definitely

That great, but he liked it. So it's like ferment.
It's like smelly. Yeah, it's a smelly fish fish
That's all I know. I'm all I'm all for trying
new things. You're not gonna try What what's
the It sounds like one thing but it's really

yeah. So we'll see if I survive. They speak English.
So I think I'll be OK. But they have a very,
very, very thick. What is it called? A brogue?
I think that's Ireland. Ireland. They have an
accent. An accent. So we'll see how I survive.
But they don't have an accent to them. And they
have their own language, but like their own slang.
I think everybody speaks English. Yeah. So I
don't know. I may never come home. I don't know.
This might be my last fit to be real. Finally.
Wait, can you phone a friend next week? I'll
call you from Scotland. Yes, that could be fun.
Except it'll be what time? What's the time difference?
Oh, we're a five hour difference, so. Is he ahead
or behind? Ahead. So he's already... So how's
the day going? I know. How are we looking for
the future? How's August 12th? Yeah, so it's
five hours ahead. So usually the last time I
talk to him is at eight o 'clock at night, which
is around one o 'clock for him. But then we talk
at six a .m. because he's already at work. It's
already 11 a .m. He's already had the start of
the morning. That is, I think, the hardest part.
of any type of travel in a time zone. Isn't that
crazy? I don't get it. It's something I can't
grasp. It's also the fact that he's already,
like you said, like he's already in the future.
I have a friend who lives in Taiwan and they're
an entire day ahead. And I'm always like, how's
tomorrow? I know. How's it looking? Did we survive?
Yeah. But it's not like anything. What happens
for us today is happening for them tomorrow.
No, I know. There's no prediction of future visions.
I am excited because we're leaving a 90 degree
day and we're going to like 60 and a little rainy.
So it's already fall -ish there. It's their summer,
but that is their summer. I would thrive in London
or any type of wet terrain. Like Andrew's wearing
like a puffy vest and a long sleeve shirt every
day in jeans. A puffin? Yeah, from a cave. Not
a grassy slope. I hope some of these trigger
you while you're there and you're like, I know
this fun fact, Mr. Scottish man. Yeah. Mr. waiter
that I'm gonna hook me up with some haggis. I
don't think you're gonna like haggis. I don't
think you're gonna like haggis. I don't think
they're gonna like me saying hook me up with
some haggis. I don't be tidy for the party. All
right, I think to to round out this Bon Voyage,
but also you're there right now while we're all
listening to it, episode. Because it's tomorrow.
Give us your Scottish accent again. Or my last
words in case I never return. What? I'm just
saying, planes are crazy right now and you heard
it first. Because that's what we're going to
be like, you know what? She knew. So it's cool.
All good. No worries. Listen, if she dies on
a plane, see if it's done. We're good. Like we're
closing up shop. I'm not doing it by myself.
So like we had a good run. I feel like that's
untrue. I feel like you guys will put my picture.

of me. You'll just put it up and it's like I
never left. The cutout. Yeah. Oh, hello, smelly
dog. My Scottish accent. Rude. All right, here
we go. I'm going to Scotland. It's so bad. I
want to see Harry Potter. That's British. That's
nothing. How dare you insult the Brits. Listen,
I was never good at accents. I'm good at Scottish.

like Allah. Wow. Go ahead. Hold on. Give us your
best Scottish. No, really, I want you to. Irish
does the Rs. That's the Irish, and then they
do the scoop up. Yeah. Scottish. I can't roll
my Rs, though. And they roll their Rs in Scotland.
You don't know. I do know. Then let's hear it.
I watched Brave and Brave Heart and Seven Brides
for Seven Brothers. So that has to start with
a B. All movies that start with B, she saw. Seven

dogs. I don't take care of them. Andrew does.
She takes care of herself. Good job. Brigadoon.
It's Shrek. Oh, it's Shrek. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's one of my favorite movies. Scottish. And
I was right with the O's. They're O's. Do they
make you do this to allow you into the country?
Yes. No, that was wrong. Yes. I'm not good at
accents either, but I'm better than you. I'm
screwed. What? Did you just say I'm screwed?
Screwed. I'm screwed. Oh my gosh, you are. Please
don't say, hey, I can do your accent because
I think you'll get kicked out. It depends on
how many bottle noses I drink. Dolphins? Dolphins.
It depends on how many dolphins I drank. Amazing.
With the mutton broth. Mutton. Do you know what
mutton is? Mutton chops. Yeah. It's great. Okay.
It's sheep. Pretty sure it's sheep or lamb. I'm
not eating that. Hello. Venison is deer. Mutton
is lamb or sheep. Yeah. I don't know. Sheep.
Every dog goes to the ones that don't like them.
I don't try to convert. I don't not like your
dog. I have your dog's sister. Oh, they're very
different. So, yes, we hope everybody sends good
thoughts to Scotland for the plane rides, for
her arrival. Oh, yes, for their plane ride as
well. I meant for Scotland to be prepared. And
I hope that you send prayers for Victoria while
she holds down the fort that will be seafit solo
for the rest of her life. Seafit solo? Seafit
solo. Just in case. Just in case. Seafit solo.
Just in case? No, I'm not going to be able to
do anything else. Okay. Don't manifest it. Keep
coming. Keep checking on her all next week, which
is today. Check on her today. Make sure that
she's still alive. She's thriving at See Fit
Solo. We're going to be fine. We're going to
be properly working out the way you're supposed
to, where you can engage and then breathe and
take moments and interval. We're not going to
go at 100 the whole time. So we're going to be
the way we're meant to be. You are not going
to relax at all on vacation. You're going to
be at 100 the whole time. always up here. And
I wonder where Dean gets it, because Dean lives
at level 10 at all times. And I'm always like,
God, relax, Dean. Because people relax when you
yell relax at them. You love it, actually. You
don't get angry at all. Never, ever say that
to me. It's good that you say it directly to
your children. No, I don't tell him to relax.
I'm like, Dean, take a second. Carly, take 10.
Thank you, 10. Okay, we just wanted to throw
a little something out because I can't, you know,
do the real without the extra. Well, I also wanted
to, I didn't know this was happening, but as
I was thinking, teach you all. So if you did
learn something today. Oh, okay. You learned
how to take a quiz properly. If you associate
something with your life into the answer. it
almost never works out. You've failed the end
to every quiz. All three, you got maybe at the
most three correct. So I was just teaching you
how not to take a quiz and also get in the head
of the quiz maker, especially for true and false.
So whoever created Scotland. No, whoever created
the Scottish quizzes, try and get in their head
for your answers. Do you have a return ticket?
Do you have a return ticket? Yes, I do. And Andrew's
flying home with me, so we'll deaf make it. Not
with that. Don't come home with that. Avi. Come
home. Let's do a prediction real quick. Are you
going to come home any different than when you
left? I think I will be more relaxed when I come
home. Your eyes, your pupils like shifted when
you're lying. No, no, I feel like I will be because
I will have Andrew coming back with me. So I
will be more relaxed when I get home. No, I mean
that like 100%. All right. You heard it here
first, folks. Say it again. I can't. Say it again.
I can't. Heard it here first, folks. Sounded
like your Scottish accent to me. They're one
and the same. She's going to come back relaxed
with a little bit of Scottish air. Yeah. Like
that bar of soap. No, it's Irish bar of soap.
Oh my God. Is it Irish? Irish dreams? Irish blessings?
Definitely not Irish dreams. It's Irish cream.
Irish. Irish. What's this bar of soap that it's
Irish? Irish fresh. Irish dreams. Irish breeze.
Irish soap. Let's look it up. Irish. I put itish.
Irish spring. Spring. I never would have gotten
there. I never would have gotten there. It's
not Scottish spring. No. But you'll come home
refreshed with, I think, mountain air and a fresh
look. September because you only have four days
before the year starts when you come home. So
no rush. We hope you always remember that you're
fit to be real and always allowed to be a little
extra. I can't do it guys. You're the Beverly
Hillbillies. Every accent you have is Beverly
Hillbilly. And a little extra. Oh my god. I'm
not good at accents. You make me do it all the
time and I hate it. For legal reasons we have
