Meg and Nikki unpack the logistics (and impractical magic) of the “love on vacation” trope!

From beach house hookups to European cruises , they debate whether the vacation romance can survive real life, compare road trip playlists, and revisit their favorite books and movies that deliver the hot summer goods.

Listen in for:

* Tropes like friends-to-lovers-on-holiday, destination wedding mix-ups, and stranded road trip partners

* Nikki’s campaign against cruise ships, always

* A pitch for a merch line that will definitely get banned

* The emotional difference between "honeymoon with your ex’s sibling" and "strangers in Venice"

* When Meg turned into a Scottish bar singer on a dare (it worked)

* Why a grand romantic gesture at the airport is a logistical nightmare (and disrespectful to TSA lines)

Also covered: runaway grooms, coconuts and… questionable toppings
