Yalla Habibi

Five years together, countless adventures, a few questionable decisions and more than enough stories to fill an episode. We go back to where it all started, from our first date and the ultimatums that nearly ended things before they began, to the experiences that have tested us, changed us and ultimately brought us closer. We reflect on the decisions that have shaped our relationship, why we’ve never cared about Valentine’s Day, how travelling changed us as a couple, and what we’d tell the two people who met five years ago if we could do it all again.

Transcript Quotes

“Without us realising, it ended up being probably the best test we could have ever have done for our relationship.”

“There are sacrifices in relationships, and it's important they're acknowledged, but it's also important that they're made.”

“Just let yourself feel what you're feeling rather than trying to hide it.”

“I love that we met on a train.”

“We can tolerate time apart. We're not totally codependent. Only slightly.”

“Even just walking, to the bathroom was like running a marathon.”

We ask whether couples really need to agree on everything, and what happens when the way you live, socialise and set boundaries doesn’t fit what everyone else expects. Drawing on our own experience of going against five social norms, we share practical lessons on supporting each other, dealing with FOMO, recognising each other’s triggers and standing firm when people test our boundaries. We also explore why challenging the status quo can make people uncomfortable, and whether making a relationship work is less about agreeing on everything and more about building a life that works for the two people actually living it.

In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we uncover the bizarre phenomenon of “pluralistic ignorance” and why we sometimes do things simply because we think everyone else wants to, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reveals a surprisingly reassuring reason you might be more comfortable saying no than you think.

Transcript Quotes

“I think it can be desirable to have a difference of opinion in certain situations.”

“It's about understanding what your boundaries are, what you enjoy, what your interests are, and then implementing that into your life.”

“You can give people time to adjust without giving up your boundaries.”

“Stop letting society, friends, and family dictate your choices when they're not fulfilling you and not making you happy.” 

“It's having each other's back when people test your boundaries as a couple.” 

“Before changing your behavior to fit in I would ask yourself, do people genuinely expect this from me, or have I just convinced myself they do?”

“They were significantly more understanding than people saying no expected them to be.”

We question what it really means to be “normal” and why going against social norms can be so difficult, from being judged for changing to feeling like the odd one out when your choices no longer fit other people’s expectations. We share how stepping away from certain pressures has given us more freedom, healthier boundaries, greater financial stability and less guilt about saying no, and why sometimes disappointing people is part of building a life that actually feels right for you. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we hear about a man who took rejecting society to an extreme, with consequences far beyond simply becoming a bit of a recluse, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” celebrates a legendary artist who refused to change herself just to fit society’s idea of who she should be.

Transcript Quotes

"Going against these social norms isn't about wanting to be different."

"People will naturally create your identity in their head."

"It takes a surprisingly long time with some of them for people to come round to them."

"It gives us more freedom because we're making choices for us."

"I think it definitely gives us more respect for ourselves."

"Just because something is considered normal doesn't mean it has to be normal for you."

"Someone who 1,000% did not commit to social norms or conform to social norms was one of my favorite artists, Frida Kahlo."

In Series 3, The Social Rules We Stopped Following as a Couple, we’re questioning the unwritten rules that quietly shape how we live, from what we’re expected to do for friends and family to how we’re “supposed” to behave in social situations. We explore what happens when you stop following the script and start making choices based on what actually feels right for you.

We kick off the series by questioning five rules we never realised we were allowed to break, from going to every wedding and splitting the bill to staying until the end, drinking alcohol and getting up to dance. We share why we’ve chosen to do things differently, even when it means disappointing people, facing judgement or making things awkward, and ask whether a little friction now is worth a lifetime of feeling more free and more like yourself. 

In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we look at a couple whose relationship rules sparked a huge debate over where healthy boundaries end and control begins, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” introduces a married couple who have spent 15 years breaking one of the biggest expectations of marriage, and somehow made it work.

Transcript Quotes

“you have to work blooming hard to make money”

“I think the important thing is showing up, showing your face, connecting with people”

“you have every right to not have to drink.”

“We choose to live in a way that is aligned with who we are, rather than simply doing what we're expected to do.”

“Is a little friction, discomfort, or judgment in the moment really worth sacrificing a lifetime of feeling more free, more fulfilled, and more like yourself?”

“so this is like the extreme side of boundaries, but hey, this is what works for them.”

“They just decided to give each other that space, and Margaret says that the arrangement has given her independence, new friendships, and a career.”

Today we celebrate the biggest achievement of Scott’s life: running 100 miles non-stop, one of the toughest physical and mental challenges a person can take on. Although the race began at Edinburgh Castle, the real story started 11 years earlier with a dream that at times felt impossible. Shelby sits down with Scott to unpack the journey from his first steps as a runner to the setbacks, self-doubt, and defining moments that led him to the finish line. We relive the highest highs, the darkest moments of race day, what crossing that finish line really felt like, and the lesson that changed the way Scott thinks about limits forever.

Transcript Quotes

"We're talking about Scott's huge achievement of running 100 miles, and that was, that's not 10 days of 10 miles. That is starting and stopping once he reaches 100, which is insanity." 

"I got really excited by the number 100. There was just something about when I looked at the number 100, it just felt big. It felt unachievable."

"There was one particular moment where... I saw myself drop to the floor on my knees crying... and then I just somehow caught it and just went, 'No. No. No, not today.'"

"When you feel as if you are coming down... you have to change something. You can't just run in that."

"It always felt impossible... until it wasn't really."

"I've learned there's three people on this journey. There's the people that will never achieve their limits, there's the people that will achieve their limits, and there's the people that will redefine their limits year on year."

Here’s your ultimate guide to Mexico — we spent a month exploring ancient wonders and colourful cities to tropical islands and food we still think about today. We share why this country completely lived up to the hype, the moment Shelby learnt the Mexican sun plays by its own rules, and why the stereotypes your parents warned you about don't tell the full story. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we reveal the first impressions that hit us the moment we landed, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts Mexico's plant-based scene to the test in a country famous for its food. Finally, in “Worth The Trip” we give our honest verdict on Mexico, including one destination that didn't quite live up to its reputation and the one thing you absolutely need to know before you go.

Here’s your ultimate guide to Canada. We talk huge fluffy pancakes drenched in maple syrup, the quiet family neighbourhood that made Scott feel like he had stepped back into childhood, and how Toronto somehow feels calm even when it is busy. We share the unforgettable beauty of Niagara Falls, nearly driving into the USA by mistake, the reality of getting around when taxis cost a fortune and why Canada felt far less American than Scott expected. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we reveal what struck us first after landing, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts Canada’s plant-based scene to the test, including one maple-covered dish we still think about. Finally, in “Worth The Trip” we share the highs, the frustrations, what you need to know before you go, and whether Canada earns a place among our favourite countries.

"All of a sudden, all the guys stood up around us. What are you doing? Why have you just walked into our club?'"

"It was actually one of the best nights out we've ever had."

"My first impression of Brazil was actually not the smelly cats, it was Copacabana Beach, much nicer than I expected."

"That's an easy five out of five. I would say you could walk five minutes in any direction, you'd get vegan food."

"The people are very welcoming, and they have a real buzz about them. They have a high energy, and it's absolutely true that they are football mad."

"My favorite thing was just being there and experiencing the vibes."

We’re joined by dating and relationship coach, author, and content creator Laura Forbes to put the biggest conversations from this series to the ultimate test. Do our conclusions about dating apps, shared values, and changing priorities actually match what an expert sees behind closed doors? Together, we tackle the question at the heart of the series: can you find a serious relationship on dating apps without compromising who you are? Laura shares the patterns she sees across thousands of clients and over 200k followers, helping us separate dating myths from reality. Finally, in “On The Record” we put Laura on the hot seat as she tackles some of dating’s biggest trending topics and answers the questions everyone wants to know.

Transcript Quotes

"Dating's not a numbers game, it's an alignment game."

"I think you can't go wrong being true to yourself, right?"

"The superior app is the one that you prefer to use."

"What are your non-negotiables, what are your values, so that you know what you're looking for." 

"The real question was, does the life you imagined matter more than the person you imagined it with?"

"As long as there's no self-abandonment then, you know, it's all good."

We ask one of the biggest relationship questions of all: what happens when the person you love changes? From children and marriage to veganism and life goals, we explore whether there are some differences that love simply can’t overcome, and whether chasing the future you imagined is ever worth losing the person you imagined it with. Along the way, we share our own experiences of changing views on kids, marriage, and the values that have shaped our relationship. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we unpack the disturbing rise and fall of Mormon parenting influencer Ruby Franke, how a series of gradual changes led to one of the internet’s most shocking true-crime stories. Meanwhile, “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shares a powerful Seth Rogen quote that might completely change how you see your partner and what it really takes to build lasting love.

Transcript Quotes

"Well, yeah, it's like you're choosing a human that doesn't yet exist over one that you very much love and does exist."

"At what point does chasing the life you want become more important than the person you want to spend it with?"

"I'm not gonna lose the love of my life over a marriage." 

"For us, happiness comes from spending life with our best friend." 

"Her 12-year-old son finally escaped from this hellhole through a window and went to a neighbor asking for food and water." 

"Marriage doesn't just change your relationship, but it actually changes you as a person."

We explore one of the biggest questions in modern relationships: do opposites actually attract, or is long-term love built on similarity dressed up as compromise? From vegan and omnivore dynamics to Conservative and Labour worldviews, and even the clash between feminist thinking and alpha male ideology, we break down where difference adds depth and where it starts to quietly test a relationship’s foundations. Along the way, we ask whether holding onto your identity means you’re incompatible—or just honest about what you need. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we look at a study that flips a common dating belief on its head and reveals what actually seems to be true about what holds couples together. Whilst in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share a simple but powerful finding about relationships that might say more about compatibility than any difference ever could.

Transcript Quotes

In Series 2, Finding The One When You're Not Everyone's Type, we're exploring a question that millions of people wrestle with: can you find a serious relationship on dating apps without compromising who you are? Using veganism as a case study, we examine what happens when your values, lifestyle, identity, or circumstances shrink your dating pool, and whether staying true to yourself actually helps or hurts your chances of finding love. 

We kick off the series with a question that sounds simple but turns out to be anything but: what’s the best dating app for vegans looking for a serious relationship? We share the challenges of putting yourself out there when something that matters deeply to you already narrows the dating pool, the apps we loved and hated, how we eventually found each other, and why we think most people are asking the wrong question entirely. Along the way, we revisit our catfish stories and explore whether dating profiles tell you anything meaningful about compatibility at all. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week”, PETA runs a dating app experiment that produces a result nobody saw coming—raising a bigger question about what people are really looking for when they swipe right. Whilst in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only”, a surprising piece of relationship research challenges one of the most common pieces of dating advice and offers a more hopeful perspective on finding the right person.

Here’s your ultimate guide to Peru— home to one of the greatest wonders in the world, with ancient engineering so advanced we’re still scratching our heads today. We spent three weeks exploring Lima, Cusco, and Aguas Calientes so you can decide if Peru is right for your travel style, from city life and world-class food to mountain markets, Machu Picchu, and the Sacred Valley. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we share what Peru hit us with on day one and a surprising fact that completely changed how we saw Lima, while “Vegan Voyagers” puts one of South America’s food capitals to the test. Finally, in “Worth The Trip” we help you decide if Peru truly deserves a place on your bucket list and the things you’ll wish you knew before visiting.

Here’s your ultimate guide to Nicaragua — a country maybe not on your radar, but this episode might just change that. This country has somehow survived pirates, American invasions, revolutions, and repeated destruction. After ruling out Guatemala due to its state of emergency following a surge in gang violence, we spent a month exploring Nicaragua from our base in San Juan del Sur, with trips to Granada, Ometepe and the island’s capital, Moyogalpa. And we can't forget to mention our host who gave off equal parts party legend and mafia boss energy. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we share what Nicaragua hits you with on day one and the first impressions that caught us off guard. “Vegan Voyagers” asks whether this beach destination quietly delivers for plant-based travellers, and in “Worth The Trip” we give our final verdict, including one thing you really need to know before visiting because Semana Santa is not quite what it sounds.

Here’s your ultimate guide to Costa Rica — a country powered entirely by renewables and home to a quarter of its land protected from development. If you’re wondering what it’s actually like to spend real time here, we’ve got you. We spent a full month travelling up and down the country, experiencing it alongside our friends and their nine pets. In this episode, we answer the questions you’re probably already asking. In “Jet Lag Judgements” we break down what hits you in those first few hours, from endless greenery to a feeling that’s oddly familiar in a way you wouldn’t expect. In “Vegan Voyagers” we put the food scene to the test so you can decide whether a country this rich in nature translates to a vegan-friendly plate. And in “Worth The Trip” we get honest about what it’s really like spending time here, what might surprise you, what might not land, and whether Costa Rica actually lives up to the version you’ve got in your head.

We’re joined by Monica Tanner this week, a certified relationship and intimacy coach, keynote speaker, and author with over two decades of real marriage experience, to put our relationship under the microscope and answer the question at the heart of this series, does travel make or break a relationship, and what actually determines the outcome? We get into what a modern relationship actually looks like today, who really defines it, and the warning signs couples often miss until it is too late. You’ll hear why arguments seem to show up faster when you travel together, how money quietly creates tension, and what separates couples who thrive from those who don’t. We also challenge the advice you’ve likely heard your whole life, from never going to bed angry to happy wife happy life, and why it might be doing more harm than good. By the end, we strip it all back to what really matters and what travel might reveal in your own relationship that everyday life can hide.

Transcript Quotes

We make around 35,000 decisions a day, and when you’re travelling as a couple, it suddenly feels like you’re negotiating every single one of them. Where to eat. What to book. Who decides. It’s rarely the big life choices that wear you down, it’s the constant drip of tiny ones that quietly build tension without you realising. From pasta stand-offs in Nicaragua to redefining who handles logistics, we unpack decision fatigue in relationships, the roles couples slip into without meaning to, and why trying to “just go with it” can slowly turn into resentment. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a story so absurdly unlikely it sounds fictional, yet it shows how one random click can expose something that was never meant to be found. While in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we explore research suggesting your happiness boost might actually begin long before you even pack your suitcase.

Have you ever argued somewhere that’s supposed to be “the trip of a lifetime” and thought… why is this happening here of all places? In this episode, we unpack couples conflict while travelling, the little frictions that feel bigger when you’re tired, overstimulated, and living out of a suitcase. From navigating work calls and workout routines in the same room, to the cost vs comfort debate that quietly tests your values, to a joke that lands wrong and lingers longer than it should, we share the moments that forced us to look at how we both handle tension very differently. We talk travel triggers, resentment, repair, and whether disagreements on the road reveal cracks or build connection. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we explore a viral hiking phrase that proves arguments in extreme environments can escalate fast, and in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share research that might make you rethink how you and your partner make decisions on your next trip.

Transcript Quotes

We’re trying something new. This is the first of our 4-part series where we go deeper into topics we’re genuinely curious about, starting with travel and relationships. It’s still us, same stories, same humour, just a slightly more focused lens for better conversations, more engagement, and something that lasts. It also feels like the right time to say what this podcast really is, Yalla Habibi is about exploring freedom in a modern relationship through honest stories, chasing adventure, questioning expectations, and figuring out what actually feels right as we go.

We’re living a life most couples dream about, travelling the world together and chasing complete freedom, so why are there moments where it just feels… normal? In this episode we break down the gap between expectation and reality, from the belief that travel should feel incredible every day to the truth that it can feel flat, frustrating, and even put pressure on your relationship. We share the real moments behind the highlight reel, from unexpected danger and last-minute country changes to the quiet tensions of spending every day together, and how it’s shaped us as a couple. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a finding that flips attraction on its head in the most unexpected way, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” explores why doing something slightly uncomfortable together might be the secret ingredient to a stronger relationship.

On this episode we’re joined by the Canadian traveler, author and radio host, Melissa Rodway. She is the voice behind FLY Travel Radio, author of The People You Meet , and has traveled extensively across Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, even living in six different Canadian cities. We talk about the strange pull of travel and why the journey home can sometimes hit harder than the trip itself. Melissa shares stories from years on the road, the countries that felt like a second home, and the moments that pushed her to her limits. We also explore how travel changes the way you see yourself, the unforgettable characters who shape your adventures, and the surprising challenges of travelling as a couple while chasing the freedom of the unknown.

We dig into whether we’re letting AI make too many of our decisions, from life-changing calls like buying a house or ending a relationship, down to the tiny daily choices it now helps with. We explore the pros, the pitfalls, and what skills and policies might become essential in a world leaning on algorithms more than instincts. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a record-breaking dog takes centre stage in the most unexpected way, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shows how a community’s kindness can transform an ordinary routine into something extraordinary. And in “Jet Lag Judgements” we share our first impressions of Mexico, capturing the sights, sounds, and little surprises that hit before we’ve even unpacked.

We talk nomading in 2026 and how nearly three years of full-time travel has reshaped the way we work, plan, and commit to life on the road. From remote roles and staying aligned on the bigger picture, to the tech, tools, and accommodation hacks that actually make this lifestyle sustainable, we share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and why flexibility matters more than the perfect plan. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to the strangest things airport security uncovered in 2025, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shares an extraordinary reminder that even when the future is uncertain, choosing adventure, purpose, and wonder can still be an act of defiance.

Shelby has been obsessed with Disney since she was a kid, turning it into a life-long mission to visit every park in the world — a goal she finally achieved in 2025, and one that has now inspired Scott to follow suit, something only a tiny fraction of Disney maniacs ever attempt. Together, we rank Disney Parks around the globe, from Florida and California to Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, and Hong Kong, debating which parks, rides, and lands truly deserve the crown, and checking out the new expansions and upcoming resorts that promise even more thrills. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we dive into a story so bizarre it makes you question policy and population, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shows how one person’s daily acts of kindness can genuinely ripple across the globe and inspire everyone around them.

Pet Hates Part 2 is here because apparently we are not done being irritated by humanity. Scott goes in on shopkeepers who latch onto you the second you walk in, people who shout “HELLO?” like you’ve been missing for weeks, and the brave souls who think they know better than Google Maps… while also blasting the voice directions like it’s a podcast no one asked for. Shelby shares the things that quietly drain her soul too, from chronic whisperers and “90% vegetarians” who want a medal, to being woken up in the middle of the night for information that absolutely could have waited. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we head to Gympie where residents are facing an invasion straight out of a horror film, and in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we spotlight women in York who are pushing back against the odds and quietly reshaping the future of business.

In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we uncover a study that reveals which English-speaking countries have the filthiest mouths and why it might not be what you expect, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” highlights a story that proves how small, thoughtful actions can genuinely change lives.

We step inside the curious world of dreams this week, exploring what they are, why we have them, and how your brain blurs the line between reality and imagination. We share our own recurring nightmares, wild scenarios, and the dreams that stick with you long after waking. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a seemingly harmless habit takes an unexpectedly dangerous turn, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shows how old instruments can spark new opportunities, helping children learn, perform, and grow.

Transcript Quotes

We somehow found ourselves on a streak of the strangest films and TV shows imaginable, so we decided to lean in and unpack the ones that left us confused, unsettled, or quietly obsessed. From greasy serial killers and severed memories to awkward hockey romances and films that feel more like fever dreams than narratives, we talk about why certain stories stick with you long after the credits roll, and the most uncomfortable themes we’ve ever watched play out on screen. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a jaw-dropping feat that made our palms sweat just talking about it, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shines a light on the brilliant minds quietly reshaping the future of sustainability in a way that feels genuinely hopeful.

Transcript Quotes

We unpack the unspoken GP problem this week, from the god-complex that never admits fault to appointments that somehow leave you more confused than when you walked in. Scott and Shelby share their own experiences with dismissive explanations, lost forms, missing results, and the frustration of being talked around instead of talked to, while we explore how conflicting medical advice and gatekeeping receptionists can quietly erode trust. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a story that raises uncomfortable questions about what really happens when things go wrong far from land, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reminds us how thoughtful design and a bit of tech can open up entire worlds to people who have too often been left out.

We recap Scott’s year of running marathons across seven countries—12 races in 12 months—and share why he took on the challenge, how it felt on the road, the lessons he learned, and the moments that pushed him to the limit. From his most memorable runs to the toughest and even a few dangerously close calls. Scott also reveals the next big goal on the horizon, and it’s one that will push him further than ever before. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we dive into a story so absurd it proves truth is stranger than fiction, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” highlights a medical breakthrough that could change lives in ways you wouldn’t expect.

We catch up on December life, asking whether we managed any rest or just went full speed.  We share our first trip to Wales together — from Scott reconnecting with grandparents after 20 years to Shelby discovering her deep Welsh roots stretching back centuries.

In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a devoted hobbyist takes their strange pastime to viral heights — a reminder not to “yuck someone else’s yams”. While in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we spotlight an inspiring breakthrough from the Arctic Kingdom.

Transcript Quotes

We talk New Year’s Eve through the different chapters of life, from teenage wildness to twenties  wildness excess and the very different energy of your thirties, and what celebrating actually means as priorities shift. We look back at last year’s resolutions, whether we stuck to them, what this year’s intentions really are, and what’s about to land in Shelby’s annual letter. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” a viral moment involving a very intoxicated animal takes a turn nobody saw coming, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reminds us how paying attention to the small routines and familiar faces around you can quite literally save a life.

Transcript Quotes

We look back on our second full year of travelling the world, hopping through 12 countries, and reflect on what it’s really been like living out of a suitcase for this long. We talk about our favourite and least favourite places, what each country taught us, and the strange moment of self-awareness when you overhear someone else name-dropping their travels and realise how pretentious you probably sound too. It turns into a bigger conversation about people, connection, love, and why saying no to war should really be the easiest decision of all. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a story that somehow mixes dinner with disaster in the most surreal way, and in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share a moment of community solidarity that genuinely restores a bit of faith in humanity.

We celebrate the Christmas period with festive debates, starting with the most important question of all: are you an envelope licker, and what does that say about you as a person? From there it’s full festive fun as we argue over the greatest Christmas movie of all time, battle it out over controversial song choices, and crown the most iconic Christmas characters, including who would actually survive an ultimate bad-guy showdown. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a festive Guinness World Record so intense it left one man hallucinating for days, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” offers a wholesome reminder that sometimes all you really need is someone to listen.

Transcript Quotes

We start this episode in Hong Kong with Scott’s massage going wildly off-script, involving aggressive beard handling and a room full of laughter at his expense, before shifting gears to Shelby completing every Disney park in the world and Scott quietly realising he’s now got a new life goal. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we unpack a mind-bending idea that challenges what intelligence really looks like and who (or what) we might trust with life-or-death decisions, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” brings a rare bit of hope as the planet shows signs of quietly fighting back. “Vegan Voyagers” rates Hong Kong’s plant-based scene, and in “Worth The Trip” we give our honest verdict on the city, what you need to know before you go, and whether it’s actually worth the hype.

Transcript Quotes

We kick off our time in Hong Kong by squeezing ourselves into the tiniest box room in Chungking Mansions, where the walls are thin, the smell of curry is permanent, and somehow… we kind of loved it. That is, until we found ourselves caught up in one of the deadliest fires in Hong Kong’s recent history, unfolding right outside our building and leaving the entire city questioning how something so preventable went so catastrophically wrong. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we talk about a discovery so massive and creepy it belongs in its own horror film, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” shares a CRISPR Gene Therapy breakthrough that could genuinely change lives with a single treatment. And in “First Impressions” we unpack what Hong Kong hit us with on day one, the smells, the sights, the culture shock, and a few surprises we definitely weren’t ready for.

We head to the North Korea border this week, where we learn how blasting Kpop becomes a form of psychological warfare and why the North once responded with balloons full of bin-bag surprises. We explore secret tunnels, bizarre conflicts that started over pigs and ears, and how even trimming a tree nearly kicked off a war. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we react to a story so unbelievable it made us question whether anyone is ever truly “gone,” while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” brings a rare moment of global hope from a country doing something extraordinary for the planet. “Vegan Voyagers” breaks down South Korea’s plant-based scene with our honest scores, and in “Worth The Trip” we share our favourite and least favourite things about South Korea and whether we’d recommend it.

We share our first experience of a Kpop concert and the fascinating fan culture that comes with it, while Scott somehow becomes a proper catch with the cougars in Korea. Things take an embarrassing turn when he accidentally reveals Shelby’s Christmas present and lets slip a big secret about the game he plays with his neighbour. We enjoy the world’s most luxurious spa and have some fun dealing with persistent door-to-door preachers. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we lose our minds at the most expensive Christmas dinner a supermarket is expecting you to buy, and in ‘Shelby’s Good Vibes Only,’ we meet a metalhead who shook up Miss World Chile in the most unexpected way.

Ever wondered why men and women think differently? Why do men tend to zero in on practical solutions while women often consider multiple layers and perspectives? In this episode we explore it from our own experiences as a couple, sharing the moments where our thinking styles clash and complement each other, and looking at research that explains the differences, from brain wiring and empathy to hormones and evolution. This is a big topic with lots of perspectives, so we’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Next up, it’s time for “Scott’s WTF of the Week,” where we dive into the wild saga of a French woman fined thousands because of her cat's antics. In “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only,” we celebrate the oldest person to ever finish an Ironman, and they didn’t even learn to swim until she was 59. Finally, in our “Travel Segment” we share our first impressions of South Korea, including the small surprises and moments that make this country so fascinating.

Transcript Quotes

After travelling to more than 40 countries, we ask ourselves the ultimate question: if we were born again, which country’s culture, values, and lifestyle would actually fit who we are? The answers surprised even us. Scott shares the strangest restaurant encounter of his life, involving a Lebanese man so confident he literally took Scott’s table, his food, and somehow left Scott with the bill. We also dive into Scott’s undying love for The Cheesecake Factory and Shelby’s equal obsession with Disney Parks. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we unpack a runaway situation so absurd it’ll have you snorting,  while in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we celebrate a medical breakthrough that’s rewriting the future for children once trapped in isolation. “Vegan Voyagers” takes us to China, where we rate how easy it is to find plant-based food, how good the food actually is, and the one restaurant you shouldn’t miss. And finally, in our “Travel Segment” we share what we loved (and didn’t) about China, plus the one thing every traveller needs to know before visiting. We wish we knew this before we travelled to China, it would have made our trip so much more enjoyable.

TRIGGER WARNING - This episode contains extreme horror, psychological distress, and violence. Listener discretion is advised.

This Halloween special is not for the faint-hearted. We share the real-life ghost encounters that still haunt us today, from spirits revisiting Scott from beyond the grave, to a relentless poltergeist so powerful it drove his family out of their home. Shelby takes the terror up a notch with her chilling story of George, a ghostly presence that refuses to leave her family home and still makes itself known in the darkest hours. We unpack how fear lingers long after the lights are back on and what these encounters taught us about belief and the unknown. “Scott’s WTF of the Week” drags us into a real-life haunted house where people actually paid to be tormented year after year, until it crossed the line. “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” brings the kind of Halloween hero we all need, a man proving that generosity can be just as powerful as ghosts and gore. Finally, in our “Travel Segment” we shared our first impressions of China, we were surprised.

Why do we say “O” instead of “zero”? Scott drops an odd revelation about women’s underwear so unexpected that Shelby is left completely speechless. From there, the adventure ramps up with a propeller plane flight to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, and a remote three-day jungle trek and local villages where the bugs are relentless, the paths are wild, and the fellow tourists… less than enthusiastic. We share the chills of a haunted Airbnb stay and tease next week’s Halloween special before diving into Shelby’s visit to an elephant sanctuary, you won’t believe what she bought there. We also discuss the strange vendor trick used in the markets to secretly signal whether tourists should be allowed to buy or not. Trust us, you need to know this one. "Scott’s WTF of the Week” features a mischievous twist on loyalty and reward that’ll have you rethinking man’s best friend, while “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” celebrates a scientific breakthrough so heartwarming it might just save some of the biggest hearts on Earth. In our "Vegan Voyagers” segment we decide whether the latest country we visited (Laos) earns our unofficial vegan seal of approval. We let you know how easy it is to find vegan options? How tasty the vegan food is? and How affordable the vegan food is? and of course we will tell you the best restaurants and one dish you must try. Finally, in our “Travel Segment” we share our favourite and least favourite things about Laos, What's something you need to know before you go? and Overall, would we recommend it?

Transcript Quotes

"The majority of women in this world live a life of their bottom touching many different materials of their trousers, shorts, dresses. Whereas men, always wear briefs"

"We believe it or not, are individual people with individual interests... there are times that we will severance... to go and pursue interests that the other one either can't or doesn't particularly want to do."

 "For the female elephants, their ovaries are actually up near their spine on their back... when they're putting the platforms onto the elephants for people to sit on... you're 150 kilograms minimum extra on top of the elephant's back right on their reproductive organs."

"An American tourist actually went to that original place and bought Sexy Lady for Mandalao."

We’re back in the jungle for episode 69 as our Laos cabin is serving major haunted energy. From fans that scream when you turn the lights on to mysterious late-night knocks on the door, Shelby’s ready to bail to a resort while Scott somehow thinks it’s “friendly vibes.” We chat wild encounters (including one very bold lizard), dinosaurs that turn out to be vegan badasses, and the mind-bending idea that science might not be as certain as we think. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we unpack a world headline that blurs the line between innovation and insanity, and “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” reminds us that even the wild can surprise you with a moment of pure kindness.

Transcript Quotes

"A T-Rex wouldn't even entertain trying to eat a Triceratops because they'd usually lose that fight."

"There's some badass vegans from millions of years ago."

"Shelby's worst nightmare happened ... at 9pm someone knocked on our door"

"There's definitely something on this ground right in front of us...how are we gonna get through here?"

We came for the art and stayed for the chaos, in praise of the weird and wonderful creativity of David Choe, before freefalling into our travels through Laos. Visa headaches and awful currency conversions, a total internet blackout that forced us to improvise like cavemen, bakeries that somehow forget to sell bread and supermarkets that are optical illusions. Scott recounts his moped crash, it sounds bad, but honestly it’s more like Jay riding a motorbike for the first time in The Inbetweeners. Shelby goes face first into the largest spider we have ever seen, and our Airbnb nightmares escalate from exploding water pipes to mouldy damp and a house literally running off a caravan battery while ants and rolling power cuts keep us on our toes. In "Scott’s WTF of the Week" we tease a bizarre real life story about someone living where you would least expect, and in "Shelby’s Good Vibes Only" we introduce a local hero whose unconventional way of rewarding kids for their hard work is guaranteed to make you smile, and finally in our “Travel Segment” we share our raw first impressions of Lao.

Transcript Quotes

"We filled in the form on the plane and got in the queue and then she said, no you've got to fill in a different form as well… it was really long and confusing."

"If you zoom out from where we are, you see this tiny dot of population and then it's just mountainous jungle for hundreds of miles. This is probably the most remote we've been."

"It's like if you inherited a cabin off in the jungle that no one's been to for 20 years… mold, damp, power outages, super slippy outside but it has its quirks."

"Everyone's so confident on their bikes here… there's no patiently waiting, you just have to go for every gap, and that makes it intimidating for a beginner like me."

"You wouldn't be able to do a weekly shop in the supermarket; you need to stop at multiple places – fruit and veg market, bakery – just to get what you need."

"A bodega owner in Staten Island rewards kids who bring in their report cards with free snacks, cash, and smiles – he says, 'I like seeing the smile on their faces, it makes me happy."

We discuss the nuance of traveling safely in countries that face extreme weather, political unrest, or unexpected events that could put you in harm’s way. We share how we navigate those moments when locals make you feel silly for being cautious because they’re so used to it, and we share real stories of how that mindset has actually saved us from dodging missiles in Jordan to surviving the strongest typhoon of 2025 in Vietnam. We laugh about our bizarre couple synchronicity where both of us always seem to need the bathroom at the same time, and ask our audience if there are other couples out there that have similar quirks. We also discuss a bizarre pattern we have noticed wherever we travel. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we discuss the Strictly Come Dancing curse, peeling back the curtain with real stats, whilst  in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share a milestone medical achievement that could cut childhood asthma attacks by 45%. In our “Travel Segment” we share our favourite and least favourite thing about Vietnam, What's something you need to know before you go? and Overall, would we recommend it? Finally, we debut our new segment “Vegan Voyagers,” where we decide whether the latest country we visited (Vietnam) earns our unofficial vegan seal of approval. We rate each question from 1 to 5 - How easy is it to find vegan options? How tasty is the vegan food? How affordable is the vegan food? and we tell you the one dish you must try.  

1 – Bad

Accessibility: Hardly any vegan options around

Taste: Food is poor, bland, or unappealing

Cost: Extremely expensive compared to non-vegan food.

5 – Excellent

Accessibility: Vegan food is everywhere, no effort needed

Taste: Delicious, high-quality meals across the board

Cost: Very affordable, cheaper or equal to standard food.

We have traveled to 40+ beautiful countries and counting, but this place we recently explored has to be one of the most stunning we have ever visited. It truly stole our breath away, and it also happens to be the film set of the famous Kong Island. We also share a hilarious translation mix up that ended in a perfectly awkward moment. Then things get serious, fast: AI literally saves our lives by pointing us to the safest spot to survive Typhoon Ragasa and Typhoon Bualoi, the world’s strongest typhoons of 2025! They tore through the region with mass evacuations, power cuts and devastating floods. We were so focused on staying in the safest room AI recommended that we actually denied a free upgrade to a deluxe room. We unpack what worked, what nearly went wrong, and the surreal balance of beauty and danger when travelling—asking, is it worth the risk? In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we tease a weird but science backed heart hack involving hot baths, and in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share how Harry Styles breaks limits in a category you would never expect.

Meet Wells Jones, a man who has lived more lives than most people have passports. He walks us through three seasons on the Antarctic pararescue team during Operation Deep Freeze, technical glacier climbs and the 1977 free fall over the South Pole that made him only the seventh person to do it. We then flip to Hollywood tales from Broadway to film sets with Johnny Depp, Anthony Hopkins and Margot Robbie that include laugh out loud and jaw dropping moments. We dig into his 1,100 mile trek from Jeddah to Damascus retracing T.E. Lawrence's journey from 1916 to 1918 during the Arab Revolt. We also discuss how that journey became the Amazon bestseller A Line in the Sand, born from 39 checkpoints and desert shocks that changed him, and why he believes the Middle East is far more generous than its headlines suggest. We explore what in his childhood sparked this appetite for adventure and the lessons risk taught him about creativity and courage. Finally, in our "Quick Fire Segment" we squeeze out the best and most shocking bits of Wells Jones's life, from his coldest Antarctic moment to the celebrity who surprised him most.

Below you’ll find how to connect with the guest and explore the exciting work they’re doing.

We share an exciting travel update that’s going to bring lots more travel stories to the podcast. We tackle the scary truth about locally brewed spirits in Southeast Asia and why you really need to be aware. Then we lighten the mood, laughing at the reality that if you’re 30+ and British, your parents probably have a glass of wine every night, but don’t worry, we’re not calling them alcoholics. Next, we recount our first Indian wedding, wow, what an incredible experience! Shoes get stolen for money, brothers tug of war to prove who wears the trousers, speeches teeter between touching and risky, the outfits are stunning, and the after party is pure chaos. We also put our relationship to the test with a fun game you can play at home: Scott guesses three items that would be sold in the souvenir shop of the museum about Shelby’s life, and Shelby does the same for Scott. Will we agree? In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we explore a once-rare allergic condition now rising across the US that can suddenly make you vegan, and in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only” we share the story of a woman who refused to get engaged until she found her own ethically sourced diamond, a quest that took three weeks in the blistering heat at the world’s only public diamond mine.

Trigger warning for sensitive topics including gender bias and violence.

We’re diving into some heavy but eye-opening stuff this week, starting with Lewis Capaldi’s surprise Glastonbury set that wasn’t just a show but a powerful spotlight on Tourette’s. We unpack some wild gender bias facts you won’t believe, like why testing pads with blood is only a recent thing and why cold plunges might actually be a no-go for women. Plus, a deep dive into the Yorkshire Ripper case reveals how society’s ugly misogyny delayed justice, and we break down the Bechdel Test to show just how skewed storytelling still is. In “Scott’s WTF of the Week” we get an update on the strange story of Donald Eugene Miller Jr., a man who is alive but legally dead.

This week we owe Albania an apology as Tirana completely changed our tune with flavour, a warmer vibe, and something—anything—beyond pizza, pasta and burgers.

Plus in “Scott’s WTF of the Week,” a blow-up doll prompts a full-scale emergency rescue, whilst in “Shelby’s Good Vibes Only”, our hearts are warmed by a heroic dog that braves the wilds of Alaska.

This episode celebrates Shelby's passion for the universe of music, this is realised when you learn Shelby can play 11 instruments (yes, 11!). We laugh together over the epic “German-ness” of a glockenspiel, and reminisce about the magic of Bon Jovi’s "It’s My Life" that sparked a dance-floor breakthrough when Shelby was just 10. We also wonder who is clumsier (Shelby vs. Scott), it's a podium finish. Finally, we learn about one of Shelby's interesting quirks that leads us to learn about her loving and caring side.

We’ve got big news—our podcast has a brand-new name! Say hello to Yalla Habibi—“Let’s go, my love!” It’s the perfect way to encapsulate the adventures we share on this podcast and how we walk into them together. We also dive into the wild world of catfishing, sharing our most ridiculous (and mildly traumatic) stories of being tricked online. From getting duped to unexpected plot twists, we break down the red flags we should have seen coming—one of which ends with Scott literally running for the hills. It’s a mix of laughs, lessons, and a few facepalms—tune in for the full cringe!

Buckle up for a knockout episode where we dive into a boxing event’s wild final crescendo, spotlighting jaw-dropping screen interactivity that cements Saudi Arabia’s claim as the capital of entertainment—even if a cheeky scam nearly stole the show. We riff on Belle Gibson’s infamous media saga, her outrageous health claims sparking a headline-worthy firestorm, all while roasting the Kingdom Centre (where that £12 food court fee is its own kind of jab) and revealing that the “edge of the world” packs more surprises than you’d expect. Finally, our travel segment spills the good, the bad, and the unexpectedly spiritual twists from our recent Saudi Arabia adventure, including a flight where Saudi Airlines went the extra mile by offering a prayer for the journey.

This week, we laced up for the Riyadh Marathon—where the free swag was top-tier, but some company reps had no clue what they were selling (seriously, why are you here?). We debate whether the event strikes the right balance between being inclusive for all and catering to hardcore runners, plus Scott learns the hard way that the Saudi sun shows no mercy. In other big news, we’re rebranding the podcast—bittersweet but necessary for growth. And in our travel segment, we dive into our raw first impressions of Saudi Arabia. Spoiler: it’s not what we expected!

We made our way to Yas Island to hit up not one, but two theme parks, and we’re giving you the lowdown on which one reigns supreme. Plus, we scored front-row seats on the world’s fastest rollercoaster. Would we do it again? Tune in to find out!

This time, we’re unpacking pink tax (why do women pay more for haircuts but get less hair cut off?), and why every country’s map thinks it’s the center of the universe. We also rank the world’s most powerful passports and tackle the harsh reality of prejudice and implicit bias, like the injustices in the Yorkshire Ripper case and the abrupt removal of men's contraceptives from shelves. Plus, we dish on the highs and lows of our latest adventures in our travel segment, covering our recent trip to Oman.

Plus, Shelby’s hilarious and confusing experience at a hotel massage parlor leaves us all wondering: Was it a spa, or a secret front for something else?

(We’re especially curious if Shelby survived, since she’s a self-proclaimed Christmas Grinch). We chat about our favourite presents to try and bring the Christmas spirit back to Shelby. Things take a turn when Shelby makes her argument against designer dogs and shares an interesting fact on how kids develop their relationships differently with their mum and dad.

New Year, new resolutions—Scott’s taken on his biggest goal yet: running a 100-mile race. Yep, you heard that right—100 miles! We dive into why he’s tackling this insane challenge and how he’s preparing for it. Meanwhile, Shelby’s promising to let Scott cook more in the kitchen (we’ll see how long that lasts). We also chat about our travel plans for 2025 and reflect on what we’ll do differently next Christmas. Hint: we’re aiming for less stress, more time off, and buying presents earlier!

We’re diving into the chaos and charm of Christmas—why we love it, why it costs so much, and whether consumerism has officially gone too far. Note, Scott and Shelby struggle to agree on this one. Scott’s has a festive revelation (he’s now a mulled wine convert), Shelby’s once again failed her mission to ready for Christmas early. We debate whether licking your Christmas card envelopes is festive or foul—because, let’s be real, do your friends and family need a taste of where your tongue’s been? We both wrap up the episode with our favourite Christmas film, song and food item.

We are also surprised to learn what “slag room” means in Deutsch, it's not what you expect. Over in Delhi, we discuss and laugh about the odd rule the government has introduced to deal with the pollution. Plus we learn why so many homeless people in Mumbai are trans, this one is sad.

But before you think we're all about running, we're also venting about tipping culture in the USA (spoiler: we’re not fans) and the three reasons we’d never settle there. Things take a darker turn when Shelby shares her wild encounters with murderers during her travels—don’t worry, we find some humor in it too. Finally, as always we tell all in our travel segment, our favourite and least favourite thing about the place we visited last - Florida.

From the rise of weddings abroad to the decline of marriages altogether (thanks, millennials), we unpack some heavy topics.

This time, we tossed out the script, letting us flow freely into topics like the impact of remote work on relationships and Scotts ridiculous story of how his obsession got him cattle prodded. Shelby shares a bizarre three-minute goodbye rule at an airport—no chance we could stick to that with our marathon PDA! And Scott has an interesting but annoying fact about the dreaded ‘wheel of death.’ We dig into the great debate of early birds versus night owls, and Scott’s obsession with nailing an early-riser routine got so intense, he handed his brother a cattle prod to give him a shock if he wasn’t up by 8:00 AM. We also learn which country has the most expats, so many that the expats outnumber the locals 85:1. Dive in for an unscripted, laugh-filled episode on love, life, and all things in between!

Picture this: Scott’s gearing up for the biggest challenge of his life, but first, we’re battling Italian traffic – where drivers have zero patience yet take all the time in the world. Add in failing to charge an electric car, squeezing in meetings, and running errands like headless chickens. Oh, and can you guess what took 50,000 hours and £3,750 million (€4.5 million, $5 million) to create? Spoiler: it’s the world’s biggest, and it’s mind-blowing!

We’re enjoyed our extra month in the UK, catching up with family and friends, but now we are back traveling with lots of updates.
