Matt and Eugene's Romantic Getaway | You Can Sit With Us Ep. 218

[@RMBAS12]

As the Try Wives, how much influence have you had on The Guys over the last 10 years in ideas for videos, shows, and general decisions affecting the company/2nd Try, etc., whether it be steering The Guys away from trouble/dangerous ideas or planting ideas that eventually made it into their content?

[@yes.chefkitty]

Advice needed from yall! Over the summer I got married to the love of my life! We’ve been together for 5 years and now have finally got married! Before this we have both always lived at home with our parents. My parents are first generation immigrants and so it’s more tradition that I stay home until I got married (and cheaper too lol) The year being engaged was amazing, the wedding was amazing, but now it’s been 3 months since and I am having a hard time adjusting not living with my parents anymore. I lived with my parents, my 3 siblings, and our dog. Our house was always busy and there was so much to do!! Now living in an apartment with my husband, I find myself crying randomly bc I feel lonely and just feel like it’s so much change. My husband is being so patient with me and so supportive by saying we’ll go visit them tomorrow, but I am still adapting. I feel bad bc he feels like it’s his fault (which it isn’t) and I just miss living with my best friend (my mom!!) I feel like someone should have warned me about this phase! How was it for you all when you moved away from home, and how did you adjust? Thank you and I loooove you all and the show💓🫶🏽

Have you ever considered having a collab with the Perfect Person podcast?

[@Namite0001]

Wool is not bad for wetter weather!! It'll keep you warm and dry since it's so moisture wicking, and will help with temperature regulating!

[@monlovebug]

LOVE episodes solely focusing on a vacation one of you took! If you think no one wants to hear this then you can't be more wrong. Every time a friend or family member go on a vacation I always look forward to hearing their vacation recap. More of this please😆

[@Matj1804]

😂 I'm sorry, but listening to Matt talk about hiking in the rain up a mountain made me giggle. I am Norwegian, and rain and hail are not fun, but we are used to it. 😁and listening to Matt calling Stavanger "small" one of our bigger cities being called small is very weird 🙃

[@barmhjertige1]

Same!!! I was like «wait… but it’s one of the bigger cities we have😢» hahahha. But I guess in comparison to US cities it is veeery small. And ooof hiking in rain, idk if I would have done it, so kudos to them!

[@alexandria9286]

Please consider having Tori Dunlap from Financial Feminist on the pod! It would be so interesting to hear about your experiences with personal finance and include her in the conversation. Plus, she’s a Try Guys fan!

[@shayq5463]

Fellow Tori fan!

[@ferisera]

About the licorice! It's a sweet that packs and stores well, and it's very strongly flavored so a little will last a long time. Very popular with sailing-based European cultures! That's why it's so common in Iceland, too.

[@sweetpanda1802]

Waiting out the hurricane in FL this brightened my morning ☀️ love y’all’s energy!!

[@FlagCutie]

Was Auntie Becks in charge of the pups during this vacay?

[@jmason1770]

She has a toddler, 2 cats and Keith to look after😊. Doubt she had the time😉

[@My0wnDrum]

​@jmason1770 came here to say the same thing 😅

[@FlagCutie]

​@jmason1770 buahahahhah "and Keith!" Yeah you're right. Just wishful thinking on my part since she was there when Kimbap was adopted ❤

[@michellemarlin1424]

Going throughout Norway and the fjords was perfect in end of April-beginning of May! It only rained one morning in Olden when I went. I need to go back❤️

[@emmapanvil]

Rhubarb saftevand aka juicewater (lol danish haha) is amazing, guys you are missing out. It’s like a concentrate you mix with water. Like making jam, you put chopped rhubarb with sugar and water, but add more water. Let it boil and then sieve the mushy rhubarb. And there you go! Great for cocktails too. Such a summer hit here in Denmark. I also make elderflower saftevand, it’s really easy

[@sezitoli]

Ok I don’t think you will answer this (and I understand why), but do any of you keep in touch with Ariel? I just want to know how she is doing and make sure she is ok.

[@jmason1770]

You're right they're not going to say anything. She asked for privacy and that's what they have been doing. When/if she ready she's free to speak for herself.

[@s.a.4358]

They very likely keep in touch as they were friends and not just colleagues, but everyone has a right to privacy and Ariel doesn’t want to speak out, or be spoken about, at this moment at least.

[@ivylasangrienta6093]

I'm the same as Matt, I fall asleep in any moving vehicle (as long as I'm not in the driver's seat). Trains, planes and automobiles... I'm eating salty liquorice as I listen to the pod! Also, we have amazing tap water in northern Europe, no need to buy water.

[@idabergh-smith179]

Matt buying new clothes for hiking because his didn't work is like the embodiment of a popular Norwegian saying "there's no bad weather, only bad clothes" (which sounds better because it rhymes in Norwegian)

[@barmhjertige1]

Glad you guys had a nice trip despite the bad weather! Matt saying Stavanger is really small gave me a chuckle! I’m norwegian, and when I went to Stavanger as a teen I always felt like «wooow, I’m in the big city!» Haven’t visited pulpit rock myself, even though I’ve lived like a few hours away from it my whole life lol.

[@valkyr8]

Highly recommend the Hurtigruten coastal tour to enjoy Nord Norge (northern Norway). Or just fly to Tromso and enjoy that city. Also go to Trondheim and see the Nideros church. Norway is my favorite country!

[@abbylynne9798]

48:00 unrelated but once a British guy made a whole thread about odd things US people do. Except he has only visited NYC and Vegas 😂

[@Namite0001]

Cold plunge!! Where's Miles 😂

[@nergregga]

People eat licorice because it was used as a rememedy for sore throats, the same is the case with the ammoniumchloride in the salty licorice.

[@bradjocelynleenstra7010]

I make a ginger rhubarb jam. I really like it on toast with peanut butter in the morning. That or I freeze it to add to pies or crisps throughout the winter. My mom has a grape vine & she juices them & then makes grape jelly. Both of those take time though, but then you can give them away as presents.

[@kathymarcus4063]

You've all traveled to some amazing places. What destination is at the top of your bucket list for a future trip?

[@anam97_]

My friend actually saw Eugene walk by while she was on vacation to Sweden i think 😊

[@frizzyhairedbandit3590]

Matt complaining about the rain made me giggle. I live in Wales and bb gurl... it rains all the time here! That's what raincoats are for :D

[@TaylorBishop8890]

Give the extra produce in little baskets to neighbors as a gift! And if i had an oversupply of rhubarb i woukd make sooooooo many rhubarb pies and eat rhem, freeze them, give them to people

[@OniBologna83]

For excess fruit and veggies, consider canning to preserve. Or you can donate to your local school for farm to table programs or to food banks!!

[@katefights]

This restaurant sounds like the inspiration for The Menu.

[@Scooberdo]

lol I just commented the same thing 😂

[@Scooberdo]

The alchemy experience sounds like the Menu movie haha

[@annafrances6909]

You guys. . . Rhubarb Pie! You must try it! I used to live in Wisconsin and it’s so common up there. Love the pod, but in that last bit of the convo you missed that one. 😊

[@lindamoulton1560]

Okay so just throwing this out there for the produce question- Roasted Grapes can pair really well with Roast Chicken! If you've got friends coming over for a meal and want to make a "Show Stopper" or easy main dish (just add a little thyme or rosemary, drizzle everything with some olive oil and bake until the chicken is cooked through and crispy). You could also make roasted grapes for a cheese platter- or even with polenta and some cooked greens as a vegetarian or vegan entree (DO NOT USE THE RHUBARB GREENS- THOSE ARE POISONOUS).

[@monyx2926]

Wow, I just read a great article about The Alchemist in The New Yorker. I highly recommend the article.

[@aliciaoakstream619]

My brother works in the polkagris-shop in Old town in Stockholm and the day after I visited him he calls me and tells me that Eugene from Try guys was in the shop. I've never been so sad I've missed something in my entire life.

[@amberdoesstuff]

Anise, licorice root, and dill all grow easily in Scandinavia. Traditionally, not a huge range of other things do! Most regional preferences have to do with historical availability.

[@Sakana_Ren]

Stop me, if you've already covered this, since I recently started watching this series. What life/cooking/etc. hack did you learn the hard way that you wish you had learned sooner? Keep up the awesome work. And, take care.

[@aubreyjones1201]

Yasss!!! Can’t wait to listen!

[@silvercookies]

Love hearing about the Scandinavian adventure! If you have more food than you know what to do, contact your local food pantry/soup kitchen and ask if they want it.

[@cristin5762]

I think you're forgetting that a lot of people outside of the US is consuming the entertainments industry which in many ways is based in LA so therefore I would argue that LA is more well known and visited than Texas. As a Scandi I've heard more people who have been to LA than Texas. Texas may have a more distinct kitchen and because of that it's easier to niche a restaurant after that cusin. It doesn't mean it's more well known.

[@Scooberdo]

With the tomatoes u can make huge batches of spaghetti sauce and can them!

[@PickledPyper]

Us currently building a fence after our neighbors cut our plants AGAIN: sorry guys, no can do ;o; lol

[@lisa-mariel4899]

Cardamum(?) buns are very trendy here right now (Bergen/Norway), but they're not as traditional as the cinnamon buns :)

[@sonne5367]

Shout out to Frederiksborg castle! I was confirmated in that castle church!!

[@whereyoubean]

Maggie wearing the Good Try sweater ❤

[@tylerwhorff7143]

Ceylon cinnamon is the kind that's like Big Red. Saigon cinnamon or cassia cinnamon is probably what you've been having in the States

[@tylerwhorff7143]

Also don't say "gyp'd" because it's an anti-Romani expression

[@lisalynch7451]

once you have a reindeer dog you can never go back

[@AmbBlack]

No captions? 😢

[@Hennrikay]

Donate the extra veggies to a shelter!

[@JaimeLee-b7t]

What are your recommendations for must do travel spots? This can be around the world or in America for those not in the US.

[@abbylynne9798]

Also, to the listener with too much produce, you may be able to partner with a food bank or similar charity to donate fresh food. Not sure about the rhubarb, but maybe grapes and tomatoes!

[@flowerbeam22]

It would be great if you could have a climate scientist on the pod! Would be such an interesting & important discussion! As for questions, here are a few ideas : how do you try to reduce your environmental impact in your day to day life? How do you feel social justice & inclusivity relates to climate justice (lgbtq+ rights, anti-racism, indigenous communities etc)? For Maggie, as a nurse what do you think should be improved in the american healthcare system? What did all of you learn from your travels in terms of quality of life compared to the US (including what you may have disliked)? How do you experience and try to honor you or your partner's cultural identity (Maggie 's Peruvian identity and Eugene's South Korean identity for example)?

I know this is American as f of me but aa OMG I could/would never be able to even be in the same room as someone consuming RABBIT EAR cocktails and BUTTERFLIES

[@annastells]

Pleeaase share where you went in Amsterdam!! Hehe

[@chelsynicole]

Do you have a topic to talk about that you think that will not perform good in youtube? Also for 10 years of Try Guys, do you still have a dream content that you want to see on 2nd try? (If yall see this question, sending my love from the Philippines!! I love listening to this podcast since forever. Hoping yall have a good day!! 🤍)

[@claire-michael]

Love the show and you guys!! My question is for Becky mostly but everyone can answer, have you guys thought about adoption or are you set on no more kids? Hope Henry's doing well and all the pets too !❤

[@ightbowser]

[@kbean]

I cringed hearing Matt say he felt “g*pped” by not getting a good photo. That word is based on a slur / harmful stereotypes about Romani people, I feel like y’all should remove it.

[@pollenbeau8917]

He said "japed" tho, not that? Which means like "got tricked"

[@boopmcgoo]

i feel like most people just haven't realized this. i try to educate whenever i hear it

[@jessikahobbs2025]

@@pollenbeau8917Whatever you think you heard that is close to that does not mean what you think it means. Japed: past tense of jape, meaning to “say or do something in jest or mockery;” or Japped: “jap (japs, present participle japping; past and past participle japped) (North America, ethnic slur, slang, transitive) To carry out a sneak attack upon (something or somebody).”

[@jessikahobbs2025]

@@pollenbeau8917Also, “gypped” does have that definition. It’s a slur because “gyp” comes from “Gypsy” who were/are characterized as being swindlers, thieves, etc., which is why the word means to be cheated out of something. Most people are unaware of the etymology of this word.

[@gabiwasabi2249]

I would LOVE to know y'all thoughts on the scandal? It had been two years now and Zach and Keith recently discussed it on Anthony's channel so it's fresh on my mind That all being said, y'all have been very respectful of privacy on this podcast so I also understand if you don't want to answer ❤ Thank you for sharing your travel stories Matt. As a flight attendant I think those city passes can be very hit or miss, so I'm glad yours worked out!

[@adetunjiaduralere3062]

First comment 😊

[@TiliaCordata]

Such a shame to hear a slur (g*pped) in an otherwise fun and pleasant episode. Please educate yourselves and don't do it again, it's hurtful to the Romani people.

[@bettestruble7887]

Putting Eugene in the thumbnail was a choice 🤨
