Welcome back to the RV shenanigans podcast

0:15

presented by liquefied

0:17

. My name is Ryan and , along with

0:19

my wife Lauren , we are Millers in motion

0:22

. We have a handful of

0:24

these podcasts coming to you , still

0:26

from the Florida RV Super Show , but

0:28

we are very much so in earring the end . So

0:31

we have a huge favorite to ask what

0:33

do you guys want to hear ? We've done everything from

0:36

industry news and inside stuff . We've

0:38

addressed particular topics and we do

0:40

have a handful left that we're recording

0:42

at the moment , and then we've also done

0:44

a bunch of RV destination kind of

0:46

how we live in our rig , that kind of stuff . So

0:49

we want to know what you guys want to hear . We've given

0:51

you kind of a blanket coverage of everything and

0:55

we've absolutely loved doing that , but we

0:57

want to start dialing it into what exactly

0:59

you guys want . So let

1:01

us know . If you're watching this on YouTube , you can

1:03

do that in the comments below . If you are listening

1:06

to this on your favorite podcast platform , you

1:08

can actually send us a message over on Instagram

1:10

, or feel free to shoot us

1:12

an email at info at

1:14

Millers in motion . All right

1:17

, so this week's guest

1:19

are some of our favorite people on the planet

1:21

. We met them originally

1:23

way back when , a few weeks

1:25

before the filming of season one of RV

1:27

unplugged , I got to know at least Phil

1:29

really well . During

1:32

season one of RV unplugged

1:34

and leading up to

1:36

the Florida RV super show , we had literally

1:38

hung out with them for like almost two months

1:40

straight . We spent New Year's with them , we

1:43

spent the show with them , because we were camp next to each

1:45

other while we were attending the show

1:47

. And then we went to season two

1:50

, filming of RV unplugged , together , where

1:52

we camp next to each other and kind of leaned

1:54

on each other , cause if you've never well

1:56

, a lot of people have never been through a production like that

1:58

it's draining is probably

2:01

the best word and Lauren had to fly back during

2:03

some of it . So Phil

2:05

and Stacy took care of me during that time . So we're

2:07

very appreciative . But I just

2:09

said who we're having on . But without any

2:11

further ado , let's dive into this

2:14

week's guest , our first

2:16

repeat guest , our

2:18

really , really good friends over at . Today is Sunday

2:20

, phil and Stacy , let's take a quick

2:22

break and dive into the interview . What's

2:25

the worst part about RVing ? It's the black tank . No

2:28

one likes to have to deal with a stinky or messy black

2:30

tank . Let the team over

2:32

at liquefied RV black tank management

2:35

help you out . Created from the team over at

2:37

Matt's RV reviews , this

2:39

is a 100% biodegradable product made

2:42

right here in the good old US of A . Liquefied

2:46

will help break down your black tank waste as well

2:48

as help with those odors . In

2:50

addition to helping with those odors , it's

2:53

got an actually really great orange smell to it , so

2:55

not only does it help break down those odors , it

2:57

also helps freshen the bathroom . One

3:00

of my favorite features is actually this easy measure

3:02

pour spout , because

3:04

it's designed this way . You don't have to bring in other

3:06

cups or measuring devices of any kind . Dump

3:10

what you need in for your size tank , because it's a dump

3:12

what you need in for your size tank , put the

3:14

cap back on and you're done . To learn

4:01

week long . You guys have slowly

4:04

become some of our really good friends on the road because

4:06

we've been hanging out , it feels like , for about the last two

4:08

months . We want to welcome Phil and

4:10

Stacy from . Today is Someday . How are y'all

4:12

?

4:13

Thank you . We're good and we are loving it . We've

4:16

had some great times together already and

4:18

we can't wait for more .

4:19

I think you mispronounced good times with

4:22

shenanigans .

4:23

I was going to say shenanigans .

4:24

Sorry , I didn't mean it . Through proper synergy , is that the ?

4:26

term . Yes , that's right , shenanigans , is

4:28

it ?

4:29

I will say you guys are also our first official

4:31

repeat guest .

4:33

Woo , I love being first . Wow , you got

4:35

our first guest and our first repeat

4:37

guest . Dang , we rock you

4:39

too . Good job .

4:40

In addition to that , last night you guys

4:42

hosted a little meetup that was sponsored by

4:44

RV , unplugged our good friends over there

4:46

that we're getting ready to shoot season two with , but

4:48

, if you guys don't mind , what was the

4:50

point of the meetup ? What did we do ? All that good

4:53

stuff .

4:53

This is one of our awesome epic

4:55

fundraisers that we do all year long . We've

4:58

been doing since we started our YouTube channel , and

5:00

this is our second year joining forces with

5:02

not only RV Unplugged but the local

5:04

Elks Lodge , and our mission

5:07

, of course , is to raise money for our veterans

5:09

in need . So last night

5:11

, thanks to the sponsorship

5:14

of RV Unplugged , we raised a total

5:16

of $12,000

5:18

for our veterans . Yes

5:20

yes , so we are super thrilled

5:22

.

5:23

And that is three times as

5:25

much as we raised last year

5:27

.

5:27

Is it really ? Yes , that's awesome .

5:29

So , it's amazing , it was just over 4,000 last

5:31

year , and it just shows that

5:34

the RV community is

5:36

, and always will be , just awesome

5:38

. I mean , there's no other way to say it the

5:41

RV community . Every time we ask of

5:43

them , they always answer and

5:46

they don't hesitate .

5:47

So last night was a great , great event . Yes , in

5:50

addition to that , it was just fun .

5:52

Oh my gosh , it was so much fun , and

5:54

that's what we love about the community is we all get

5:56

together . Everybody there makes

5:58

connections . They meet up later on down

6:00

the road and it was I

6:02

don't know it was a great night . I was exhausted

6:05

, but it's so worth it .

6:06

It is , and I'm going to say thank you for being the voice

6:08

right , because you're leading those things

6:11

and you are the voice for certain veterans

6:13

that may not have one otherwise . So not only are

6:15

you pivotal and bringing people together , you're

6:17

pivotal in getting that where it needs

6:19

to go .

6:20

And thanks . But you know , really most

6:22

people want to give back , they want to figure out a way

6:24

to pay it forward and volunteer

6:27

or donate , and they just don't know where to start

6:29

. So you know , we are really happy

6:31

to lead people there and , you know

6:33

, help them make a difference because they

6:35

want to .

6:36

Right , well , again , thank you guys so much

6:38

for doing that . I know that that money is going to go to

6:40

a couple of good causes across not

6:42

just Tampa , but homes for our troops , absolutely

6:44

so . It's been a little while since

6:46

you guys have been on YouTube and got on the road

6:48

and all that , but let's back up

6:50

. Why are you laughing at that , phil it

6:53

?

6:54

seems like yesterday . It's been

6:56

almost six years . Has it been six ? Yeah , we're

6:58

getting close to it .

6:59

So we want to kind of backtrack all the way to the beginning

7:02

. What ultimately got you guys on the road

7:04

?

7:05

Stacy told me we're going to do it . That's usually

7:07

how most things work in the house .

7:09

No , it's normal .

7:10

Yeah , no , really , you know it

7:12

was a culmination of a lot of things . The kids

7:14

were leaving the nest . I was looking to downsize

7:17

. Phil had been gone for 18 months

7:19

overseas by himself and

7:21

he came home and my nurse practitioner

7:23

job had me working so much he actually

7:25

saw me more on FaceTime when we were

7:28

apart than when he got there

7:30

. So we were just trying to find a way to get some

7:32

time back from when Phil was in

7:34

the military and really are being fit

7:36

the bill for us .

7:38

Gotcha spot on it . The downsizing

7:40

is what we were really looking at . So we were we

7:43

were going to Move houses because

7:45

it was just us two , so we didn't need all that space

7:47

, and she convinced me

7:49

that we could always get

7:51

another house later . The rv

7:53

would be the great vehicle to get out and

7:55

see our own country , because

7:58

we did travel a lot overseas . And

8:00

um it just it . It took some

8:02

convincing , but once I agreed to

8:04

her , her uh , move

8:06

.

8:07

In other words , he agreed to purge all his stuff

8:09

. That's really what he's saying .

8:10

That was the hardest part , but I got

8:13

to tell you it was probably the best decision

8:15

that we could have made as a couple . Yeah , back in 2017

8:18

, when we decided To jump in and

8:20

go so did you guys have our being

8:22

experienced prior to that ?

8:23

Zero , not a drop of zero camping as

8:25

a family , zero RVing as a

8:27

family . When we were kids we dabbled

8:30

a little bit with our families , but never once

8:32

we joined the military and got married .

8:33

No , I'm surprised how many people say that

8:35

, that they really had zero experience

8:37

before they got into RVs . I could spell

8:40

RV that was about it , it

8:44

just really , I mean , it's something that

8:46

you saw .

8:46

I mean we drove by Uh , a campground

8:49

close to our house and that was it

8:51

. We just drove by it , never gave it a second look

8:53

. And then we ended up Going there for

8:55

the first two months that we were out of the house and

8:58

it really started to open our eyes to how

9:00

much the RV community was

9:02

there , what it could do for for us as

9:04

a couple .

9:05

Yeah , very cool .

9:07

So when you guys hit that road

9:09

that first time was it ? Did you have a time

9:11

frame in mind or was it just we're gonna go and see what

9:13

happens ?

9:14

Well , originally we said a year . We'll give

9:17

it a year . And you know , see , if I really

9:19

like it , because you know it's so

9:21

different than a regular of sticks and

9:23

bricks life . So , um , we

9:25

gave it a year and by the time we were I don't even

9:27

know if we were more than three months in we were

9:29

already like this is it ? I , we're

9:31

not stopping .

9:32

No , we . That's when we shifted from calling

9:34

the RV the RV and

9:37

started calling it our house . That's

9:39

when we knew we were kind of on to something and

9:42

you know it's , it's been you

9:44

know no . Looking back since , right .

9:46

So more recently now you've seen

9:48

a lot of this country at this point right

9:50

.

9:51

Um yeah , not everything . We still have a long way

9:53

to go , but we have checked a lot of boxes

9:55

and , and you know she says that

9:57

, and we really haven't even scratched the surface

9:59

.

10:00

Yeah we've seen a lot , we've met a lot of great people

10:02

, but yet we haven't .

10:04

So more recently . Now , though , you guys are starting

10:06

to dabble in international travel .

10:08

Yes , yes .

10:09

So what spurred that on ?

10:11

Well , you know honestly , for full-time RVers

10:14

, five years is the average lifespan

10:16

for a full-time RVer . Usually they're ready

10:19

to do something new and try something else

10:21

, and a lot of times that means buying

10:23

another house and we're not ready to do

10:25

that . We're not done traveling . We

10:27

just want to mix it up a little bit and

10:29

change where we're going and some of the ways

10:31

we're traveling . Gotcha .

10:33

And you know , when we were in the military , we

10:35

were on different ships at one time and

10:37

our ships would meet Overseas

10:40

in a foreign port . Um , hong Kong

10:42

was our first port that we . We were both there together

10:45

and we both got to explore

10:47

and and See a different

10:49

side of of . You know the country

10:51

and it just it it's

10:53

burned , that it's to just continue to travel

10:56

and explore and that's

10:58

what we're going to continue to do .

10:59

So and you know

11:02

I I really believe when you experience

11:04

other cultures and other countries

11:06

and when I say cultures I even mean

11:08

cultures in our country I

11:10

mean the culture in Boston is so different than

11:12

New Orleans and California so you

11:15

do experience different kinds of people

11:17

, different cultures , different way to do things . In

11:19

the us , as well as in other countries , you grow

11:22

as a person you understand People

11:24

better , you see where they're coming from

11:26

and I think for me that's a big part

11:28

of it . I want to see , you know

11:31

, we were in just in Italy for 30

11:33

, 40 days and I wanted to immerse

11:35

myself in their culture . I wanted to kind

11:37

of get to know the people , how they lived , what

11:39

they do . I just think it makes

11:41

you a better person and you can understand

11:43

their viewpoint .

11:45

So obviously in the navy you guys were deployed all over

11:47

the place , but so outside of that , did you have

11:49

a lot of experience with international travel

11:51

?

11:52

We had taken a few trips , uh , here

11:55

and there , while I was on leave , and

11:57

, um , you know , it was it

12:00

. It's , it's completely different , because when

12:02

you , for me , I had two weeks of a

12:04

vacation at a time , so we

12:06

would , we would , you know , go , go , go

12:08

, hurry , hurry , hurry . Well , you didn't really have

12:10

time to get out and linger and

12:12

, like we did in Italy , immerse yourself , sure

12:14

, because you've got to get there , you got to see it , you got to check

12:17

the box , you move on , then you've got to get back

12:19

, because now you got to go back into work

12:21

mode and for a two week

12:23

vacation for us , after about seven

12:25

or eight days , my mind had already switched back

12:27

to work mode . So , and I was really

12:30

, you know , cheating us on our vacation because

12:32

I was ready to get back right now we

12:34

just we take our time you

12:36

know we like to and a lot of our travels

12:38

we come back to those places because

12:41

we found that we weren't there long enough and

12:44

we'll come back , so that now it's just allowed us

12:46

to slow down and really get out and

12:48

get to see these places and enjoy

12:50

them .

12:51

So obviously you guys were in Italy for

12:53

40 days . You said yes . So was

12:55

that just straight Airbnb

12:57

? Did you move around a little bit ?

12:59

We did a 30-day Airbnb

13:01

. So we were just south of Naples

13:03

, in like a small town , and then from

13:05

there we did the rest of the time

13:07

in Rome . So it wasn't Airbnb

13:10

, and you know , we went to the local market , we

13:12

bought fresh bread , we got to know the shop

13:14

owners , we got to know our neighbors . We

13:16

started running into people in town that

13:18

we had met and they were like hey , how's

13:20

it going ? It was really interesting .

13:23

And it was really good to try your hand at a

13:25

different language .

13:27

Bill actually did really good . We

13:29

won't talk about my language skills

13:31

.

13:31

I tried as much as I could and

13:33

, believe it or not , the locals appreciate

13:36

it . That you're at least giving

13:38

it an effort . Now we were butchering

13:41

the language , but they appreciate

13:43

it , they understand that you're trying

13:45

and that helps them as well , because

13:48

language barriers anywhere make it

13:50

harder . But we

13:53

really tried to immerse ourselves and

13:55

just be with one

13:57

within the city or the town that we were in .

13:59

I was going to say and I can speak to that too , because I

14:01

travel internationally quite a bit and I

14:03

tell people all the time when you go , just learn a little

14:05

bit , you don't have to have a lot , just try to say

14:07

hello , how

14:10

are you , thank you , and then maybe learn how to ask

14:12

do you speak English in their own language

14:14

. And the appreciation you get just

14:16

for trying that butchure .

14:18

It don't butcher it , it just warms them up

14:20

a little bit better and that was the word that we heard

14:22

a lot is they appreciated us at

14:25

least attempting , because you

14:28

get a stereotype if you go over there and

14:30

you expect everyone to speak your language in

14:32

their country . So every little bit helps

14:35

.

14:35

And you said expect they

14:37

appreciate it . Normally there's some giggling in

14:39

there .

14:39

First because , like a lot of people laugh

14:41

at me a lot . That

14:44

was horrible .

14:44

But a genre no , and just didn't come off .

14:46

So now we say that , Phil

14:48

, you got to hit us with a little bit if you've .

14:51

Oh good , grave , did you already

14:53

data ?

14:53

dump yeah .

14:56

Reach back into the archives . Oh my gosh , and he

14:58

was good at it too .

14:59

Well , we did a lot of you know how

15:03

.

15:03

about this one ? Because this seems like something you may have said

15:05

a few times . May

15:07

I have some ice cream Gelato

15:10

? Yeah gelato .

15:13

What was it ?

15:13

I didn't think he remembers this

15:16

, wasn't that ?

15:16

long ago . Well we

15:19

, you switch gears , we're at an RV

15:21

show .

15:21

It's out of my mind . As

15:24

she said , you data dumped yeah .

15:26

I did , but I mean , it was the more common

15:28

phrases .

15:32

I almost saved you . So my only tip if you're

15:35

traveling international is don't

15:37

just do all the big touristy items

15:39

. You know , don't go to the . You

15:41

know the Instagram word , these shots . There are

15:43

so many off the beaten

15:45

path areas that you can go to ask

15:48

someone there locally where

15:50

their favorite places are , their favorite restaurants

15:52

, their favorite parks , something

15:55

like that , and you really will get to know the

15:57

country much better than if you only

15:59

hit those famous touristy spots

16:01

.

16:01

Right . So when you guys

16:03

were in the Navy , did any of your travels

16:05

there kind of inspire where you want to go

16:07

next , or even Italy 100%

16:10

?

16:10

Oh yeah , a little bit . I would say 100%

16:12

, because we were there for four or five

16:14

days , so it piqued your interest or one

16:16

or two , yeah , and then you'd like . Okay , let

16:19

me put this on the list , because I definitely want to

16:21

come back or where we don't want to go back to

16:23

, I mean we've been to some beautiful places but

16:25

you know , like Singapore was amazing but

16:27

it's so expensive .

16:28

Right .

16:29

So you know , yes , I would love to go there , but

16:31

maybe after I win the lot

16:33

.

16:33

Well , we actually met in Japan

16:36

, so we lived in

16:38

the country for a couple of years , and

16:40

back then I wasn't as adventurous

16:42

as Stacy was .

16:43

He needed a lot of training . She would jump on the train

16:46

and she would just go .

16:47

She would go to a restaurant and just say

16:49

, I'll take that .

16:50

I would just you know , japanese have

16:53

picture menus and I would just pick a

16:55

picture and I'm like don't tell me what it is . I

16:57

don't want to be biased . I'll taste it when

16:59

it gets here and I'll decide and it is adventurous

17:02

. I did that for two years . I would just hop on a train

17:04

and get off at a random stop and just walk around

17:06

, and it took a while to get full into it .

17:08

Yeah , I was like , I'll go out , but where's

17:10

?

17:10

the local McDonald's . He's like I'm getting noodles

17:13

, give me a stir fry .

17:13

I wasn't that Up

17:15

to you know , trying new things back then .

17:17

So , but that you even bring up a good point , because even the McDonald's

17:20

are different , oh , my goodness , everywhere

17:22

you go .

17:22

So while we were there , I could get a great teriyaki

17:25

burger .

17:25

You remember back in the day .

17:27

But you couldn't get it anywhere else .

17:29

And that you know . We argued about that a little bit . You

17:31

don't go overseas and go to change .

17:33

Chili .

17:34

Yeah .

17:35

I learned real quick that I had

17:37

to change my way of travel , or somebody was going

17:39

to change a lot of things .

17:40

You know , we had to work at work . 40 days was

17:42

turning into a week , real fast .

17:44

Yeah , but again it just shows that you know

17:46

you can get out of your comfort zone Right . I've

17:49

tried things that I would have never tried back

17:52

here in the States because I

17:54

had my comfort food .

17:55

Well , that includes red wine . Phil really

17:58

got into red wine . We were in Italy , so

18:00

I , finally we can do some harvest hosting . He

18:02

hit some wineries and he won't complain .

18:04

Yeah , well , I'm , you know , I'm a sailor at heart .

18:06

I'd like to say he'll like , like beer .

18:08

So I just I tried

18:10

here in the States to drink red wine and

18:13

I didn't like it . We get to Italy and all of a sudden

18:15

I liked it .

18:16

It's just like the pizza and the pasta . It's different

18:18

.

18:18

It's not the same . Oh yes , I never

18:20

thought I would enjoy a

18:23

three topping pizza ever .

18:25

You know I'm a , I'm loaded up

18:27

and you know let's go . But over there , completely

18:30

different Everything , and it was , it was

18:32

amazing .

18:33

Now , on the flip side of that , we did find a pretty

18:35

good pizza place in the Hill Country when we were down there

18:37

, although it looked questionable

18:40

when we pulled off .

18:41

Those are usually the best ones . They are yeah .

18:44

So do you have any destinations that are kind

18:46

of circled coming up ? That do

18:48

we do , of course we do .

18:50

Which area are we talking ?

18:52

All right , so I will go ahead and drop

18:55

a little , a little tidbit here that

18:57

won't be going on the channel . So if you're

18:59

, if you don't catch it here , you won't catch it . We

19:02

do have the beaches of Normandy

19:04

coming up . So , as you guys know

19:06

, we just talked about it this morning how

19:08

much we love our veterans and we

19:11

really want to go over there and experience that

19:13

and just feel the moment over there and

19:15

hopefully share that with some people who

19:17

can't make it over there . Right , yeah , that's

19:19

uh and that'll be this year .

19:21

Yeah , we , we have so many bucket list

19:24

items . Sure , and

19:26

it you know you . You check two or three items

19:28

off your bucket list and in the process you add

19:30

four or five more .

19:30

That's what I was gonna say . She told me the list is actually

19:33

growing it grows , I think , every

19:35

day .

19:35

But it's , it's something , it's something

19:37

good to shoot for . You know you , you put it down

19:39

, you write it down and then you

19:41

, every time you come back to , to whatever

19:44

spreadsheet you have it on , you're constantly looking

19:46

at it . So it forces you to say , okay

19:48

, we've got to just finally do this . And Stacy's

19:50

starting to do that , she's starting to schedule those

19:53

things out so that we can plan accordingly

19:55

, because you can't just wake up in the morning , pack

19:57

a bag and head over seas . I mean , there's

19:59

a lot of things you have to look into . So we we

20:02

definitely Will make a few more hops

20:04

across the pond .

20:05

I have an unplanned question have you

20:07

ever considered or have any of your

20:09

travels been based around ? I want to experience

20:12

this type of event and then

20:14

that determines the destination .

20:16

Absolutely Well . We are actually have really

20:18

been talking about that Over

20:20

the past couple of months . There are several events

20:22

that we're looking at . There's something in Montana

20:25

, there's the air show in Wisconsin

20:27

and we so

20:33

we really want to hit some of those . We think it'll

20:35

be a lot more fun if we have something . We

20:37

can rally around an event , um

20:39

, and we're going to be doing that with our crew . So , if

20:42

you guys don't know , we have a someday crew

20:44

and we do meetups all over the

20:46

country and we hang out . So we really want

20:48

to plan some of those Really

20:50

cool festivals and events and , you

20:52

know , unique things that you find across the country .

20:54

And you guys are part of the crew , so you need

20:56

to .

20:58

Actually show up and hang out with us .

21:00

I jokingly say we're probably your worst crew

21:02

members , because I think I have an open discord

21:04

in about six months .

21:05

But actually only about 50% of our

21:07

our peeps are on discord .

21:09

Yeah , we found the same .

21:10

Yeah , so you know that social media at something

21:13

else , and sometimes people aren't big social

21:15

media people or they're like , actually busy

21:17

and have a life , and that's okay too , yeah

21:19

, but then we gather together and they come

21:21

and we all meet up . We have a great time . So

21:23

you know , it's all good .

21:25

We've definitely said that this year we need to

21:27

make a better effort to go

21:29

to more events and not just be in our own little

21:31

space and continuously do our own thing

21:33

. So as you guys know , once you get into

21:35

the youtube , and in this case , now podcast world

21:37

. You can get tunnel vision kind of quick

21:39

.

21:40

It's overwhelming and and you could actually

21:42

drown in all this work Like it could be

21:44

endless . So sometimes you know

21:46

and I'm talking to myself as much as

21:48

you you actually have to draw a line in the sand

21:51

and say , okay , you need to pause somebody

21:53

once told me that there are two

21:55

forms of living .

21:56

You can they're surviving and there's thriving

21:58

and you don't do both at the same time

22:00

, that is brilliant . So if you're going through a season

22:02

of life that's only surviving . That's all you're focused

22:05

on right but then , like for us , the

22:07

past six months was that , and now that we're coming

22:09

out of that , we're looking at these thriving moments

22:11

. Yes , or some of them .

22:12

Somebody gave us a great piece of advice

22:14

when first started , and that was don't

22:16

live your experiences through the lens

22:18

of your camera . Don't live your entire life

22:21

and travels through the lens of that

22:23

camera you're carrying . So

22:25

we , we're starting to get a lot better

22:27

at putting the camera down . Stacy is

22:29

that is , and

22:32

you know you , you have to do that every now and then

22:34

for your sanity , sure , so

22:36

it's we're , you know , six years in and we're getting

22:38

better at that trying to find a little

22:40

balance , yeah but it's tough because

22:42

that tunnel vision you just mentioned it

22:45

comes quick it does . Next

22:47

thing , you know , you're six months in and you're like what the heck

22:49

happened . You right ?

22:50

we were just talking about it this morning and I said

22:52

you know we're I'm . We love

22:54

the super show , we love meeting everybody

22:56

, but it is exhausting . Yes

22:59

and it's not that I can't talk to everybody

23:01

all day , but at some point I need a few hours of

23:03

sleep . And I was

23:05

so excited because we obviously are going to

23:07

go be filming RV on plugged here pretty soon

23:09

and we don't have to film

23:11

anything after that because we pre-planned and

23:13

so we don't have to film a drive day which is

23:15

the first time , I think , in maybe

23:17

a year , that we're not

23:18

actually pulling a camera out on a drive day so

23:21

you can actually pay attention to where you're going

23:23

.

23:23

Yeah right , Not what's all around you . It's

23:25

beneficial . I've driven past this thing 14

23:27

times . I didn't know it existed .

23:29

I literally have no content right now

23:31

, like I have nothing in the bank . I haven't recorded

23:33

a single thing since we've been here , so

23:35

I think we're gonna go live today . So if

23:37

you guys are listening , we're actually go youtube

23:39

live Somewhere in the show

23:42

.

23:42

So find us and say well , if you want mics

23:44

, you can do it right here .

23:45

I don't know but we're gonna walk around .

23:47

Oh , never mind . Yeah , like we're this would be a lot to

23:49

carry . Yeah , it would so .

23:50

I don't know what it's gonna look like . It'll be our first time doing

23:53

it .

23:53

It could be like a scavenger hunt find you .

23:55

That would be really fun . So the one thing for

23:57

us with coming to the show is

24:00

, as you said , it is

24:02

exhausting , but it's our way to say

24:04

thank you , right it is to as many people

24:06

as we can in one place .

24:08

It's very fulfilling to see everybody .

24:09

It is , and we were talking about it this morning

24:12

, and I mean we didn't go to bed till after two o'clock

24:14

this morning . From the event last , night

24:16

.

24:16

I'm aware you were my ride .

24:19

And then you know you get back up . You know

24:21

you get up in the morning and you're just you're dragging

24:23

because it's you're so exhausted , but

24:25

you know it's ahead of you and that's getting

24:28

out Meeting people saying

24:30

thank you , and that's not only the people that watch

24:32

us , but the , the companies that we

24:34

work with that are here so it's a . It's a great

24:36

way to put faces Uh to names

24:38

and just really say thank you for

24:41

the support .

24:41

Yeah , so not to just completely drop what

24:43

we're talking about and go back to my list , because lauren

24:46

made less .

24:47

We do go off on a squirrel all the time no

24:50

. That's what happens when you're chatting

24:52

with friends .

24:52

It's so easy . It's so easy you forget .

24:54

You know we're actually recording this . We're not just having

24:56

a conversation in our living room .

24:57

Yeah , well , it's , we were last time . But , that's

25:00

just normally when we do these things .

25:02

Yes , we're still on a tangent .

25:03

We request 72 degrees and green

25:06

m&ms , so you know it's not

25:08

50 degrees and shade and a wind

25:10

tunnel .

25:10

He obviously didn't get the memo .

25:12

Makes you feel any better . I'm in a fishing shirt . I didn't cold

25:14

too . So to come back

25:16

a little bit to international travel , do you guys have

25:18

any plans to do some rv versions of

25:20

that ?

25:21

Oh , of course we do . Phil doesn't , because he doesn't

25:23

know what I'm cooking up , but I am

25:25

cooking . We do have . I have three

25:28

countries on my list that I would . We

25:30

may be hitting in 25 . Um

25:32

, we're also going to be RVing those countries

25:34

and I'm I'm going to keep them on the download only

25:36

because If they don't come to

25:39

fruition , I don't , I don't want to talk about it

25:41

.

25:41

So I love that . Phil just nods .

25:42

He's like yep , uh-huh , that's what we're doing I

25:44

truly am just the driver

25:47

and the guy that fixes and cleans things

25:49

.

25:50

He does a great job doing dishes . When he says clean

25:52

things , he does , he cleans pretty much everything

25:54

.

25:54

Well , when we were going through the , the canadian

25:57

border , as an example , the

25:59

, the border agents asking us where

26:01

you going , and I'm looking over at stacey

26:03

and he says how long you're gonna be there , and

26:05

again I turn and look at stacey . So now he's

26:07

looking at us like Okay , these guys

26:09

are suspects . That they just don't know it yet , but

26:12

I truly I I just said look , I'm

26:14

good , let's go tell me where we're going , and that's

26:16

kind of how we do it .

26:18

Which that's kind of some of the fun , though right for you at

26:20

least , because we I have this thing , especially

26:22

with the rig and the size we are . She'll

26:24

have some ideas , but I normally kind

26:26

of put my thumbprint on the drive days just because

26:28

I'm the one driving it and I don't

26:30

want to get stuck somewhere on accident . So , but

26:33

you guys are , we have , we have a great you know so

26:36

rhythm when we're driving .

26:37

She's the navigator . You

26:39

know she's .

26:40

Look , I've been telling him where to go for 30 years

26:42

. Let's not change that . I don't want to stop . I'm

26:45

so used to it now .

26:46

But we have our roles on travel day and

26:50

she's working , editing , doing

26:53

all those things while we're driving , and

26:55

the navigator on top of that , so she keeps us out

26:57

of a jam and gets us in the right spot

26:59

Most of the time .

27:00

Yeah , so it works out . Last international

27:02

question OK .

27:03

I know we keep diverting . I'm so sorry . We're

27:05

terrible , terrible podcasters .

27:08

That's . I'm just fishing , I'm bringing

27:10

you back in a little bit .

27:11

I don't know about you , but I look good .

27:14

You do have a voice for radio .

27:15

Yes , I do Face for radio .

27:18

I do so ? When you guys do

27:20

travel away from the RV , how

27:22

do you kind of manage that or store the RV

27:24

? And I say that knowing full well what

27:26

you do . I'm talking about what you're going to

27:28

do now that they've moved .

27:29

Oh my gosh , I don't know what we're going to do . We've

27:31

been really lucky . We've left the RV in our daughter's

27:34

driveway and it was plugged in . We left it

27:36

with Phil's uncle once and

27:38

it was plugged in on that property , and

27:40

now that our daughter is selling her

27:42

house and moved to a real neighborhood , we can't park

27:44

in the driveway .

27:45

So I don't know what we're going to do

27:48

.

27:48

So we're going to have to leave it for up to 30 days

27:50

at a time somewhere . So we're still deciding

27:52

if we're going to leave it in a campground We've done that

27:54

before for short term or if

27:56

we're going to store it somewhere . So , we'll

27:59

have to navigate that and we will definitely share

28:01

our experience with you guys .

28:02

So TBD yes .

28:05

I prefer having it somewhere where eyes can watch it whether

28:07

it's a park or a friend's house . Storage

28:09

unit doesn't really give me a warm fuzzy

28:12

.

28:12

Nope At all , just because there's not that

28:14

Even plugged in . Yeah , even with cameras

28:16

, yeah Right .

28:17

We did that . The first six months we owned it because

28:19

we still had the house . But

28:22

yeah , it's a little bit trickier to navigate

28:24

now that we've lost that mooch

28:26

ducking spot .

28:27

I know Really , how dare my daughter not think

28:29

about us when she's deciding where to live ?

28:31

I'm not going to lie now . I am distracted because Todd

28:34

and Tony are playing with everything on our table

28:36

over there .

28:36

Welcome toddlers into the podcast tent

28:38

.

28:40

I had no idea what Todd was saying . Tony's now

28:42

fixing what Todd did . Oh

28:46

, he was asking who's ? Cameras , those are both ours

28:48

.

28:49

It's so funny .

28:50

Well , it's facing them . That little guy right there is facing

28:52

us , we made it Welcome to live

28:54

podcasting . And what

28:56

12 podcasts without anybody doing that . Todd's been here

28:58

for five minutes . That's

29:00

so funny .

29:01

He is I think he's sleep deprived , because he

29:03

got off the podium . He got off the podium

29:06

yesterday , jumped in his truck and started driving

29:08

.

29:09

And now we're here in Central Florida , ready

29:11

for some RV unplugged .

29:12

We're all ready . It's going to be so cool , it

29:14

is .

29:16

He said he's ready to sleep , aren't

29:18

we all Well , I ?

29:19

think that's what . Three weeks now we can take a nap

29:21

. Yeah , that's about right . Not till then

29:23

.

29:24

OK , guys , first of all , thank you so much for being

29:26

on the show once again . I do have

29:28

a few listener questions for you , though .

29:30

Oh , interesting , full disclosure . Somebody actually

29:32

sent a question . I just figured man

29:34

. Thanks , mom , so you got .

29:37

Actually , it's your daughter Probably .

29:39

I'm just kidding .

29:40

So you had a lot . I narrowed

29:42

it down to three , and one threatened

29:44

me , so that one definitely got in .

29:46

So the one that threatened me is

29:48

Eric from Colorado .

29:50

I think this it's for both of you , but Phil's

29:52

going to be the one that reacts . How

29:55

do you feel about Army's victory over

29:57

Navy ? Next question yeah , there's

30:00

other things in there , I'll let you assume it

30:02

. We may have muted the wags last night for doing

30:04

the same thing .

30:05

Oh , that's so funny , we did do that .

30:07

The Army Navy game is one of the

30:09

most watched and talked about games

30:11

every year and for us

30:14

it's a great

30:17

time of year for the military to get together

30:19

and smack talk and it's

30:21

all in good fun and

30:23

I always rib the other services . But at the end

30:25

it's one team , one fight and for

30:27

14 years straight Navy I

30:30

knew that was coming Army and the

30:32

tide has changed a little bit , so Army is one of

30:34

the last few , but it's

30:36

just . That's truly America's game and for

30:38

us it just

30:40

opens lines of communication a little bit funnier

30:43

and heavier .

30:44

Well , and I will say , as the civilian

30:46

side of college football , I would appreciate if

30:48

one of any of the branch of the military had put

30:50

a team that could beat anybody else outside

30:52

of the military .

30:53

That's so funny , Well we actually

30:55

did a huge fundraiser two years in a row .

30:57

We did an Army .

30:58

Navy Smackdown so that's right . We

31:00

raised over $5,000 over those two years . That

31:02

was early on , where we were

31:05

all cheering for the game and then after the

31:07

game was over we had to get on and go live

31:09

. So if we lost , all of our Army

31:11

friends could dog us live on the

31:13

air .

31:14

And if we won , we could brag , did they

31:16

ever the first ? Year we won

31:18

the second year we lost Even here at the show

31:20

. I mean , that's their lead-in , go

31:23

Army .

31:23

Yeah , you know when they meet us .

31:25

It's all in good fun , it is .

31:27

And in the military it

31:29

means something when your service branch has

31:31

bragging rights .

31:32

Sure .

31:33

And we can't wait for Navy to get it back .

31:35

And we're getting it back so . Eric , just

31:37

hold tight , we're coming back .

31:40

I do like how I felt . So we're going to get it back , but , as

31:42

Faye said , please get it back .

31:44

And I said it like I'm part of the team . We are going

31:46

to get it back .

31:46

That's right . We're going to be right there .

31:48

OK , so this next question comes from Mary in

31:50

New Mexico . What has been your scariest

31:53

moment of RV life ?

31:55

I think when we were stuck in the mud .

31:58

Man , that was scary , but it wasn't my scariest . The

32:00

scariest for me is the

32:03

cars that Cut us off and

32:06

almost all yeah to crash . I

32:08

mean really everything else you

32:10

can kind of handle it . You can't handle somebody

32:12

cutting in front of you , and

32:15

that's why we have our dash top on a dime

32:17

.

32:17

Yeah , we're our dash cam is

32:19

there to protect us Agreed

32:22

but for me that's the scariest

32:24

part .

32:25

Getting stuck in the mud was scary because

32:27

it was . We thought we were damaging

32:29

the rig . You know , we just didn't know . We thought it was

32:31

gonna cost us a gazing in bucks to

32:33

get us out . So that's

32:35

yeah , that's what I think .

32:37

I think if you know you're , you're

32:39

aware that things can go wrong , you're kind

32:41

of prepared for it mentally when

32:43

things do go wrong , it doesn't freak

32:45

you out nearly as much . You know , you just

32:47

have to keep a calm head and really RV life

32:49

is a hundred percent going with the

32:51

flow .

32:52

You , you can't you get too wound tight

32:55

, phil , you just have to go with the flow

32:57

preparing for what you can and then Understanding

32:59

that there's a certain amount you can't prepare for absolutely

33:02

.

33:03

And no , I just I'm . You know it's my

33:05

house and I don't . I don't like

33:07

people that Assume that I can stop

33:09

on a dime . You know a 30 35,000

33:12

pound vehicle going down the road and

33:14

it's . I didn't really understand it either

33:16

until I got behind the wheel of one . Now I do

33:18

same and you know so

33:20

. If you're out there listening and you are around

33:22

RVs , slow down please

33:24

cut us off , please , we beg you

33:26

.

33:28

Okay . So this last question , these

33:30

competitive questions . I remember putting this together

33:32

like three weeks ago and I'm realizing what I've done

33:34

now . This is from Andy

33:36

in Michigan , who's going

33:38

to win RV on plug season two .

33:41

Oh my god , I don't know why this question is here . I

33:43

win everything . I am

33:45

winning we . We can just end

33:47

the podcast right here . We're done , it's

33:49

over .

33:51

Don't even go down this year . This is Phil's

33:53

year .

33:54

I can feel it the year of the Phil , I will say

33:56

, obviously if you watch RV unplugged .

33:58

I was on Phil's team for season one

34:00

even though Stacy picked me , I Still

34:03

get annoyed with red RV

34:05

unplugged shirts that just have the big logo on

34:07

the front . I'm looking specifically at a cast

34:10

to season two . Yours isn't read . It's

34:12

fine .

34:12

He's sucking up already . He's sucking up , so he's

34:14

already pledging his allegiance and we

34:17

say we were talking about Season

34:19

two .

34:19

Contestant is right over behind

34:22

us speaking of .

34:23

If you are here in the booth , live here

34:25

34:27

34:29

around as well . We'll be here doing a

34:31

meet and greet as well .

34:33

We are super excited for season two

34:35

. Season one was kind of the learning year . We're

34:37

sorry . Season one contestants whatever .

34:39

I feel like they they're gonna get a bad rap because

34:41

season two is gonna blow season

34:43

one out of the water .

34:44

So if you're , if you've seen season

34:46

one or if you haven't seen season

34:49

one , go back and watch it . You'll get a ton of laughs

34:51

34:53

two , tell everybody , tell all your friends , check

34:56

this show out . It's , it's for everyone

34:58

35:00

we could use the support , yeah

35:02

, to help this moving forward . So

35:04

we're excited for season two . The contestants

35:07

are excited . Stacy did a great job

35:09

casting .

35:09

We think yes , yes , but time we'll tell

35:11

the . We think they're at the last . It

35:14

depends on , probably how his team does especially

35:16

that guy over than the red shirt . He's already questionable

35:18

, that's right .

35:19

If , if we come out on top , then if team

35:22

feel , comes out on top .

35:24

Whatever did well at casting .
