Katie is absolutely "breathless" when she visits the otherworldly Arches National Park, which is described as a "red-rock wonderland."

Both Katie and Jordan bring the same facts about the geologic formations to this podcast, which means they must be true, right?

Arches National Park contains 2,000 natural stone arches and the park has the highest concentration of them in the world. Katie wants to do an arch audit to see how accurate that number is.

Jordan tells Katie the alternative names for the beloved, iconic "Delicate Arch" and also the names of other formations throughout the park, like "Dark Angel", "Three Penguins", and most unfortunately, "The Phallus".

Jordan shares his stupidest travel mishap and Katie says he is "horn happy".

Jordan immediately goes off the rails with "Chronicles of Narnia" references

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti (even though it’s, like, 200 miles away), Katie and Jordan take a very special trip down memory lane this week with guest Jessica, who spent eight weeks in East Africa, primarily in Tanzania, during a study abroad trip in college!

Jessica was on the worst boat ride ever on her way to the paradise that is Zanzibar and bought spices that are probably stale by now. Jordan attempts to impress everyone with his Zanzibar knowledge but is immediately countered by a way better fun fact.

While in Tanzania, Jessica went to school to improve her skills in Swahili and had to teach a lesson on Swahili in Swahili to native Swahili elementary school students. The Swahili teacher was unimpressed.

Jordan reveals Mount Kilimanjaro’s Google score and Jessica brings the gift of guacamole to her host family in Tanzania.
