Show Notes
In this travel-themed episode, Dennis meets up with his friends Jeb Havens and Steven Lee in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for five days of sun, fun, games, chips, guac and on the final morning, a podcast taping. Just over two years ago, Jeb and Steven decided to quit their jobs and backpack around the world together for 14 months. Mexico was the last stop before returning home to L.A. They talk about how the idea came about, how they planned where to go and when, what they learned about America, themselves and each other on their travels and which countries have the sexiest men. They also talk about what it was like being abroad during the rise of Trump and what people in other countries think about it. Other topics include: the joy of couch surfing, the most surprising destination, their scariest moment, their biggest argument, getting engaged in Patagonia, getting sick in India, marching in Pride parades in Bulgaria and Katmandu and eating cricket pizza. And at the end, Jeb treats us to a song on the ukulele. Check out @teamjebandsteven on Instagram for pictures and videos of their odyssey.
