It's day 16 and Perri is embarrassed at her “Happy Birthday” which then spirals into an existential debate on the correct way to say umbrella (um-BRELL-a? UM-brella?) and an impromptu musical number inspired by rain and Rihanna. Is this a musical episode?
We navigated a beautifully dreary day in Venice, and debated whether romanticized rain is just wet inconvenience in disguise. Along the way, we processed what felt like absolute horror of revealing you’re from Atlanta in an international tour group (should we start saying Schlabino Island instead?) and why is that, ATL is cool - you know?
It’s a chaotic, too comfortable, and hopefully relatable episode (we listen and we don't judge)—perfect for anyone who’s ever felt the need to defend their hometown, feel the rain on their skin, or overthink how they pronounce everyday words.
Stay dry, stay dramatic, and, for the love of all things linguistics, send in your umbrella voice notes.
