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.

LULU’S 10K DAY - HO CHI MINH CITY: (24:29) Ho Chi Minh City, the city formerly known as Saigon, is 10K Dollar Day's first trip to Vietnam! Lulu stays Park Hyatt Saigon and gets a "first class" car and driver through MyDriver. Lulu loves pho, so breakfast is at Pho Hoa. She takes in the Golden Dragon Water Puppet Show. 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.
