INTRO: (00:00) So guys, Alison has lost her voice, so we are releasing our March guest googler episode a few weeks early. We've been trying to do stuff with this guy for a long time, so enjoy this wonderful episode featuring Matt McGee!

OBSESSIONS: (17:45) Alison reaches into her bag of tricks to pull out her obsession, Baken-Ets Hot & Spicy Pork Rinds. Lulu is obsessed with her trumpet lessons. You may recall that a few months back that her wishlist was that she could play jazz trumpet. Matt is obsessed with the Netflix show Slobby's World.

WISHLIST: (22:47) Alison wishes for the Vera Mona Color Switch Solo, it's a sponge in a tin for removing eyeshadow color from your brush. Matt is wishing for $10,000. Wait, you don't get given 10K for being on the show? Lulu wishes she would remember to pin her socks together when she puts them in the wash.

LULU’S 10K DAY - TUCSON, ARIZONA: (30:33) Lulu is making a dream come true by heading to wellness resort Canyon Ranch. She's excited to visit this cell-phone free campus and to take some creative workshops. Rocking this “Don’t talk to me, I’m on a cleanse” tee, she gets into an introspective mental detox with the help of her new Smythson of Bond Street journal and Mont Blanc StarWalker fountain pen. A gratitude practice with personalized notecards filled with heart confetti sent to friends and family concludes her day.

ALISON’S 10K DAY - SZCZECIN, POLAND: (49:25) It sounds like Streisand. Kind-of. A rented Mercedes through AutoEurope takes her to the ODSAPKA cottage. Black cumin bagels for breakfast at Bajgle Króla Jana, then a private tour of the Underground Routes of Szczecin. Alison picked Streisand, I mean, Szczecin, for the purpose of visiting the Crooked Forest, where the trees are slightly tilted in the oddest way. It's likely a result of gravitational pull, like the vortexes in Sedona that Lulu and Ash frequent IRL. Alison gets dinner from Wierzynek delivered to the forest where design company Pracownia Wielkie Rzeczy has transformed the forest floor into a magazine cover-worthy tablescape.

INTRO: (00:00) Alison and Lulu recorded this week's episode just like they did the previous one, before 9 am, without having had any wine. This makes them feel off their game a little bit. Alison sounds really chipper somehow though, and Lulu starts a sing-along about opposites attracting. So still on their game, we'd say.

OBSESSIONS: (5:20) Lulu laughs when Alison says she's obsessed with an ice cream cake log from Publix. Talk about a cheat day. Luluis obsessed with Just the Cheese bars which are keto-friendly!

WISHLIST: (12:07) Alison wishes hard for this leather sectional from cb2. If someone could buy her that and a leather cleaner kit, that'd be great. Lulu wishes she could watch intense things by herself at night.

For lunch she heads to Anan Saigon - which means "eat, eat" - to have more pho and a bahn mi. A show about ancient Vietnamese tribal cultures, Teh Dar, is followed by a private street food motorbike tour.

ALISON’S 10K DAY - DERWEZE, TURKMENISTAN: (34:00) Alison picked this place for a very specific activity, though when she realized that this city in the middle of the Karakum Desert had next to know stay options, she rented a Gulfstream V from SexyJet to serve as her "hotel in the air". So to the reason she decided to go to this area. Burning of natural gas has created a fire crater dubbed by locals as the Door to Hell, which Alison takes a tour of that "dares you to get close enough to take a selfie". She then heads to the So Spa at Sofitel Oguzkent Ashgabat. Dinner is from catering company Merdem, because there aren't many options in the desert, or in hell for that matter.

Alison enjoys the hotel's Six Senses Spa before indulging in a seven course tasting menu at Sommet, and a stop in to the Cigar Lounge.

LULU’S 10K DAY - MONTREAL: (25:53) Lulu is staying in the Executive Suite at the Ritz Carlton. Luckily they allow dogs because she is adopting a dog through Animatch! By the way, it's "Who Rescued Whom?" not "Who Rescued Who?". Lulu heads to Engaufrez-vous  which she claims translates in to "get some waffles into you". Next she goes exploring in the Underground City. It's 20 miles of tunnels and 2,000+ businesses, all underground. Lunch is at Canada's oldest deli followed by a whiskey flight at the Burgundy Lion. Lulu heads to Igloo fest with some bracelet flasks full of whiskey, you know, to keep warm! Lastly, a tasting menu with wine pairing at Toqué.
