Yeehaw! Katie lets everyone know Jordan has pronounced “Pendleton” incorrectly for his entire life and Jordan argues there shouldn’t be a silent “D” in words.

Katie’s grandfather was born in Pendleton, and the duo discuss wandering around one of her ancestral homelands with her grandparents in their 90s. Jordan is disturbed by a broken weather widget on Travel Pendleton’s website and Katie is excited about a museum that chronicles western expansionism from the perspective of the Native people of the area.

Katie and Jordan spent their very last night on their two-month road trip across the continent in Pendleton and think the Old Town was way better than they remember it being and Jordan drops a surprising Pendleton Woolen Mills connection-bomb on Katie at the end of the show.

DIY cheek-peekin' chaps and a bag full of melted truffles marked the beginning for Katie and Jordan's sweltering time on Thailand's largest island: Phuket.

Before they could even step foot on the island, they were trapped on the plane waiting for a "VIP" to fly out -- and they have some guesses as to who it was.

Katie reads verbatim from the travel journal they kept on their three-month honeymoon around East and Southeast Asia and Jordan reminisces about hitching a ride from the wrong hotel to the correct one in the back of Some Dude's truck.

Katie and Jordan venture into the Portland-Metro by exploring Oregon's sixth-largest city -- and one-time hopeful to be second-largest -- Beaverton!

Katie talks about how the city's modern multi-cultural identity helped introduce her to different cultures and cuisines at a young age and talks about the now-shuttered Beaverton Bakery and Jordan wonders if it was a "Ratatouille" situation.

The city is home to one of New York Times top pizzerias in the U.S. and the duo talk about the pies they've enjoyed there and Jordan throws shade at a completely different pizzeria which gave him a spiritual awakening.

Jordan and Katie discuss the wonky shape of Beaverton's city boundaries and how you can drive on the same street for miles and seemingly hit seven or eight different "Welcome to Beaverton" signs.
