If your brain feels foggy, your mood swings like a pendulum, or your cravings seem to control you—this episode will flip what you think you know about your body and your mind. Because what if your thoughts… aren't really yours? In this mind-altering episode of The Human Upgrade, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals a startling new theory: your gut microbiome might be controlling your thoughts. From addiction and depression to obesity and inflammation, the microbes living in your gut—bacteria, fungi, viruses, even parasites—may be pulling the strings on your brain chemistry, mood, and behavior. Dave Asprey and Dr. Gundry dive deep into The Gut-Brain Paradox, exposing how the gut-brain axis operates more like a microbial command center than a digestive system. You'll learn why probiotic pills rarely work, how the wrong microbes can drive compulsive behavior, and how toxic foods, glyphosate, and antibiotics have turned our guts into neurological war zones. Most shocking of all? Microbes may not just influence addiction—they may cause it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How your gut microbiome can hijack your brain and influence your thoughts and behavior • Why certain microbes may actually cause addiction, obesity, and depression • How antibiotics, glyphosate, and processed foods are turning your gut into a desert • How to rebuild your gut ecosystem using postbiotics, fermented foods, and precision inputs • Why food cravings might be microbial mind control—and what to do about it • What the latest science reveals about the gut-brain axis, neurotransmitters, and neuroinflammation Sponsors: -Sunlighten | Go to https://www.sunlighten.com/dave/ and enter code DAVE at checkout to save up to $1,400. -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

In dieser Episode des Plantbased Podcasts spricht Yannick mit Sarah Connor und Janek Andre über die Iberian Orca Guardians Stiftung, die sich dem Schutz der iberischen Orcas in der Straße von Gibraltar, Portugal, Spanien und Umgebung widmet. Sie diskutieren die Herausforderungen, die sie bei der Arbeit mit der Segler-Community und den politischen Rahmenbedingungen erleben, sowie die Bedeutung von Bildung und Prävention, um die Interaktionen zwischen Menschen und Orcas zu minimieren. Wir beleuchten auch die Notwendigkeit, das Bewusstsein für den Schutz dieser gefährdeten Tierart zu schärfen. Auch die Zusammenarbeit mit Organisationen wie Sea Shepherd und der Biologin und Forscherin Dr. Ingrid N. Visser sprechen wir. Sarah spricht über ihre Erfahrungen im Loro Parque in Teneriffa und die Tragik der Geburt eines Orca-Babys in Gefangenschaft und ob es möglich ist, Orcas wieder auszuwildern. Auch über ihre Begegnung mit Orca-Mutter Morgan und ihrem Versprechen an sie spricht sie voller Emotionen. Zudem wird die Bedeutung von nachhaltigem Whale Watching hervorgehoben, um das Bewusstsein für den Tierschutz zu schärfen. Abschließend wird die Notwendigkeit betont, gemeinsam für den Schutz der Orcas und ihrer Lebensräume zu kämpfen. #emptythetanks Viel Spaß!

Humpbacks start appearing as early as mid-fall, but daily sightings don't happen until mid-December. We're practically in the middle of the season so I thought I'd do a podcast about when is whale watching season in Hawaii. The optimal whale watching period in Hawaii extends from mid-February to March when the whales display their most active behavior. Visitors can expect the highest number of sightings between November and May. The most active period to view these magnificent animals takes place between mid-February and March. The best moments to observe whales occur early in the morning and late in the afternoon, since whales breach and surface most often during these times Whale watching in Hawaii in January Best Locations to see Humbacks Maui tops the list as the perfect spot to see humpback whales because of an extraordinary underwater area known as Penguin Banks. The shallow waters southwest of Molokai serve as a breeding area for humpback whales. When is whale watching season in Hawaii journey will be delightfully rewarding when it takes you there. Oahu -Diamond Head offers an excellent viewing area for observing younger whales who display playful behaviors.Photographers frequently choose Makapu'u Point & Ka'iwi Coast to capture whale activity because it indicates whales are close by. The Ala Wai Boat Harbor and Kewalo Basin serve as primary departure points for numerous tour boats which enhances your expedition success rate. Kauai - Poipu Beach combined with Kilauea Lighthouse on Kauai offers excellent opportunities for whale watching from land. Big Island - Visitors to the Big Island can frequently spot humpback whales near the Kohala Coast. Taking Whale Watching Tours Viewing stations near the Makapuu Lighthouse means you can learn about the humpback whales as you look for them. Although you will have multiple opportunities to see whales, when is whale watching season in Hawaii during a tour? There is no certainty you will spot them. Successful whale watching requires both patience and a touch of luck. There are whale-watching tours which use marine radio Channel 14 to share whale locations with other boats to improve your whale sighting opportunities. Whales perform a dramatic act known as breaching when they leap out of the water which creates a truly spectacular sight. Look for misty water spouts emerging from their blowholes during the whale blowing behavior. Whales demonstrate playful behavior by hitting their tails against the water's surface during tail slaps.The majority of boats assist you in whale spotting, yet occasionally they will take you by surprise with sightings of spinner dolphins, pilot whales, or false killer whales. Whale watching from a boat on Maui is a popular way to way to see Whales Tips for the Best Whale Watching Experience Obviously, whales do not follow a schedule so take the time to appreciate your surroundings while you wait for them. Carrying binoculars improves your ability to see whales from far away. Many people forget to enjoy the present because they focus too much on obtaining the ideal photo. Enjoy the experience!Smaller boats deliver intimate whale watching experiences despite big tours being entertaining. Choose a reliable tour operator because companies such as the Pacific Whale Foundation on Maui demonstrate expertise while supporting conservation work. Can You Swim with Humpback Whales? People do actually ask me this and of course it's NO!! If you're lucky enough to be near one while swimming, staying as far away as possible can be dangerous. Humpback whales in Hawaii cannot be swum with as it's against regulations. Approaching these magnificent creatures poses legal risks and physical dangers because they receive protection. Some tours offer the experience of swimming with wild dolphins.

Orcas playing with their food is not a new behavior; however, wearing salmon on their heads is not usual. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses a fascinating phenomenon involving orcas wearing salmon as hats. A recent photograph captured an orca in Puget Sound sporting a salmon on its head, reminiscent of similar behaviors observed in the 1980s when orcas from the southern resident population also donned salmon hats. Lewin explores the potential reasons behind this behavior, suggesting it could be a playful act, a celebration of a successful hunt, or simply a sign of the orca's contentment due to an abundance of food, particularly during the chum salmon run. He emphasizes that orcas, known for their intelligence and emotional depth, exhibit unique personalities and behaviors, which can vary widely among individuals. The episode highlights the importance of studying these behaviors to better understand orcas and marine mammals in general. Lewin encourages listeners to foster curiosity about ocean life and to engage with ongoing research efforts aimed at uncovering the mysteries of these remarkable animals. He invites listeners to share their questions about the ocean, promoting a dialogue about marine conservation and the intriguing behaviors of orcas.

The incident discussed in the podcast episode highlighted the potential dangers of close interactions between humans and humpback whales during swim tours. The humpback whale carrying a person out of the water demonstrated the unpredictability of these interactions and the need for stricter regulations. The episode emphasized the importance of establishing clear guidelines and rules for swim-with-whale activities to prevent disturbances to humpback whales. Research conducted by ecologists, including Stephanie Stack, indicated that the behavior of humpback whales was significantly altered during swim tours, leading to disruptions in their resting patterns and overall behavior. These disturbances could have negative implications for the well-being of the whale population and the sustainability of marine tourism. To address these concerns, it was suggested that the Queensland government should implement stronger regulations and enforcement measures for swim-with-whale tours. Currently, there appears to be a lack of specific laws governing these activities, leaving room for operators to potentially overlook important safety and conservation protocols. Strengthening regulations would not only protect humpback whales from potential harm but also ensure the safety of tourists participating in these immersive experiences. Furthermore, the episode highlighted the need for collaboration between whale-watching companies, scientific researchers, and conservationists to develop comprehensive codes of conduct for swim-with-whale tours. By establishing industry-wide standards and promoting adherence to these guidelines, operators can minimize disruptions to humpback whales and create a safer environment for both the animals and tourists. In conclusion, the podcast episode underscored the urgency of enhancing regulations and enforcement in the swim-with-whale tourism industry to safeguard humpback whales and promote responsible marine tourism practices. By prioritizing the well-being of these majestic creatures and implementing stringent guidelines, stakeholders can work towards creating a sustainable and ethical environment for human-wildlife interactions in the marine realm. Humpback whales can be disturbed by human interactions, impacting their behavior and potentially affecting their population recovery. The episode highlights an incident in Australia where a humpback whale carried a person out of the water during a swim-with-whale tourism activity. This interaction, although seemingly harmless as the person was unharmed, can have significant consequences for the whales. Research conducted by ecologists, including Stephanie Stack, has shown that commercial swimming with whale tours can lead to disturbances in humpback whale behavior. The study found that the whales made direct changes when swimmers were in the water, and the whales did not resume undisturbed behavior even after the swimmers exited the water. This disruption can have negative implications for the whales, especially since humpback whales are capital breeders with limited energy reserves. Furthermore, the study revealed a 50% reduction in the proportion of time that whales spent resting during swim tours compared to whale watch tours. This reduction in resting time can impact the overall health and well-being of the humpback whale population. It is crucial to minimize disturbances to humpback whales to ensure their continued population recovery and the sustainability of the marine tourism industry. The episode emphasizes the need for robust education, enforcement programs, and continued monitoring of humpback whale populations to mitigate the impacts of human interactions. Regulations and enforcement of these rules are essential to protect humpback whales from disturbances caused by swim-with-whale activities. By understanding and addressing the potential negative effects of human interactions on humpback whales, we can work towards ensuring the conservation and recovery of this species. Collaboration between operators, scientists, and government officials is crucial for the development and implementation of effective regulations for swim-with-whale tours. In the podcast episode, it was highlighted that the incident involving a humpback whale carrying a person out of the water raised concerns about the impact of swim-with-whale tourism on humpback whale behavior. Stephanie Stack, a researcher studying whale tourism impacts, emphasized the need for robust education, enforcement programs, and continued monitoring of population dynamics through scientific research to minimize negative impacts on humpback whales. She conducted a study in Hervey Bay where the whale-watching fleet developed their own code of conduct for swim tours, indicating a proactive approach by operators in response to research findings. The episode also mentioned the importance of strengthening and enforcing existing regulations to ensure the safety of both humans and whales during these interactions. It was noted that while regulations exist, there is a need for additional rules to address specific scenarios, such as maintaining adequate distances and respecting whale resting times. By fostering collaboration among operators, scientists, and government officials, a comprehensive set of regulations can be developed that considers the well-being of humpback whales and the safety of tourists. Operators can benefit from scientific insights to enhance their practices, while government officials can ensure that regulations are effectively enforced to protect marine wildlife. Overall, the episode underscores the significance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in creating sustainable and responsible swim-with-whale tours. By working together, these parties can address the challenges posed by such activities and strive towards a harmonious coexistence between humans and humpback whales in their natural habitat.

If you're a huge orca fan, this one is for you. How The Orca Man got his name (and fascination with the creatures). A land-based whale watching guide from Seattle to Vancouver with 28 excellent spots for getting outside and sighting whales this summer. Killer whales have a new species delineation, potentially. Begging for $8,000 on the street with a pillowcase in order to buy a captured killer whale, but actually winning it by winning an arm wrestle. These are just a little peak into the world of orca lore that The Orca Man shares with us in this episode. The Orca Man: instagram.com/the.orca.man/ Website: theorcaman.com/
Point of fact: Not since the Heeler's messy back seat have we felt so seen by an episode of Bluey. Not because we had to much fun at the noon-years eve party but because something we just want to lie on the couch and not move. In this episode we talk S3 E22 Whale Watching. Tori gives some tips on how to create a balloon drop if you want to do a noon-years eve party for your own kids. Cherin challenges Tori to guess the voice of the whale documentary narrator (do you think Tori knew it?) and of course we recap the episode. Plus we have a robust discussion about whether Chilli is eating straight sourcream. So grab your binoculars, a camera and some chips and let's dive in. ------- Thank you for listening.

Transcript: Tyler: Phil and Stacy, welcome back to the travel tips segment of the Travel Path Podcast. Thanks for having us. Phil: Yep, pleasure to be here. Stacy: Thank you. Tyler: So, for those of you who missed it, we had Phil and Stacy on. They're from "Today is Someday" on YouTube. They talked about everything from checklist preparation, maintenance procedures, and more checklists, and just everything RV life. They're full-time RVers. Today, in our travel tips, we're talking about one particular destination. So, Phil and Stacy, where are we talking about today? Stacy: We're talking about Newfoundland. Hope: Awesome. Now, how much time have you guys spent in Newfoundland? Phil: Not long enough. We were there for about three weeks in Newfoundland. Hope: Okay. And why is this place so special? Why are we talking about Newfoundland today? Stacy: We absolutely fell in love with it when we were there. It's beautiful, it's historic, it is so unique, and just the feeling you get when you're there because it's kind of untouched in many areas of the island. So, we actually loved it there. Stacy: Yeah, we soon found that "The Rock," as the locals call it, had so much to offer. We soon realized that there was no way we were going to be able to see it in the amount of time we had allotted. And as big as Newfoundland is, there wasn't a lot of people in and around the national park and just in general. It wasn't until you got to some of the bigger cities that you started to come into contact with a lot more folks, so it was wide open, at least it felt that way at first. Hope: Very good. Now, to get that full Newfoundland experience, how long do you think someone should plan their trip for? Phil: I think at a minimum four to six weeks. What we quickly discovered and what most people don't realize is Newfoundland is about the size of Texas, so there is a lot of land and a lot of driving to get from one side to the other of the island. So, if you want to take your time and experience everything it has to offer, I definitely would recommend at least four to six weeks. I think if we'd had another couple of weeks, we would have been able to check a lot more things off our list. Hope: And what time of the year did you go to Newfoundland, or what time would you suggest is one of the best to go? Stacy: We were there in the summer. But the optimal, if you're RVing, the best time to go is June through August. It's the mild climates, it's when it's nice and warm. But I gotta tell you, a lot of people go to Newfoundland in the wintertime because they have snowmobiling and a big ski season there too. So, if you want to fly in and not take the RV, that's another option for you. They get about 16 feet of snow a year. Phil: 16 feet. Stacy: I'm sorry, 16 feet, a lot of winter activities there as well. Hope: Well, that's good. It's always nice when you find a destination that you can kind of go all year round because it gives you a lot of different possibilities, especially with your schedule. And also, you can go back at a different time of the year and experience something totally different. Phil: Absolutely. Hope: Now, you mentioned, you know, you could, of course, fly in. So, how does transportation work? You obviously took your RV in, but if someone was going to plan a trip to Newfoundland, maybe they're not RVing, how would you suggest they get there? Stacy: So, if they're flying in, St. John's has an airport, so they can definitely fly into St. John's. And it's a great place to rent a car to see the rest of the island. And they have a ton of Airbnbs, hotels, and cabins throughout the island, so it's a great way to travel around and see all the different regions. Now, if you're taking the RV, you will need to, of course, cross the border into Canada, so you'll need a passport for that, and then take the ferry. So, definitely make sure you plan ahead for that because the ferry does fill up. And one thing to know, this is what we did wrong, so definitely learn from my mistake. There are two ferries, and they're on opposite sides of the island. So, I recommend taking one ferry into Newfoundland and taking the other ferry out of Newfoundland. One of the ferries is a little bit longer, but what that will do is that will enable you to see more and drive way less because it's going to take you two to three days to get back to your original ferry port where you can spend that time exploring and just hop on the ferry on the basically other side of the island instead. Phil: Yeah, the highway that runs through Newfoundland, the main highway, it's not a loop. So, it's kind of out and back if you're coming in and out of the same terminal that we did. So, we went from Nova Scotia to Port aux Basques on an eight-hour ferry and then we took three weeks to drive through Newfoundland. But if we had done the research a little bit better, we would have seen that the road doesn't come all the way back around. We would have planned to take the ferry out of St. John's, and that's a 16-hour ferry, is it? Stacy: It's at least 12. I know it's much longer. It's much longer. So, but you can get cabins on the ferry. There's cabins for pets, there's kennels, and there's cabins that are pet-friendly. So, there are a lot of options on the ferries. Tyler: Sounds like a cruise ship. Phil: It's pretty good size. Stacy: It's a pretty good size. So, definitely a lot of space for and they pack them in. But you have to remember, too, those ferries are where they get a lot of their goods and services. So, all the big rigs get on there for all their shipping to come onto the island. So, the ferries are pretty large. Phil: Yeah, so big rigs and you have a Class A motorhome, so there really was no size requirement. Stacy: No, not at all. You pay per the size. So, however long you are is the amount that you pay for the ferry. Hope: And once you're on that ferry, are you able to access your rig, or do you have to, like, park it and then go up? Stacy: Yeah, once you're on and away from the parking area, you cannot go back. Phil: Yeah, that's the only downfall. Stacy: Yeah, you have to stay above, either in your cabin. There's a restaurant, store, there's plenty of places to hang out up there. But for safety, they don't let you back down with the vehicles. Hope: That's good to know, though. And I think that's a really good tip about planning to take one ferry out and the other one back, just so you don't waste that time and that gas too, just driving around the island on especially roads you've already seen. Stacy: And the big thing is most people only make this trip once in their life. Most people don't go back and repeat this trip. So, I think making the most of your time is really important. Hope: Yeah, absolutely. So, once you get to Newfoundland, you've taken the ferry, we've talked about the transportation. How about lodging? So, you obviously had your camper. Where'd you stay? Phil: We stayed all over. It is very RV friendly, and as a matter of fact, if you have a smaller RV like a van or small Class B, you can pretty much pull over and park anywhere there's a spot. We read a lot about that. There's free parking lots or pull-offs or wherever you find, you can stay. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything quite big enough for our size. We're 35 feet, and all the spaces we found were for smaller sizes. But there were plenty of campgrounds for us, and we winged it most of the time because we didn't really have too many reservations. You know, we weren't really sure how long we would spend in each area. So, we were able to get last-minute spots all over the island. And we were not the biggest motorhome over there. We did see a bunch of 45-footers over there as well. So, I mean, we saw a ton of vans, a ton of truck campers because they could get a little further out into the mountains, pull off on the side of the road in those spots. So, yeah, any size rig will do perfectly. Hope: Now, I imagine you probably parked your camper, and then throughout your day, you took your car and you went and explored. For someone that's driving, maybe like a Class C or a Class B van that doesn't have that pull-behind car, are the roads good for everyone being able to get where they need to be? Stacy: Well, everyone can get where they need to be, but as far as the roads being good, the roads over there are a little, well, they could, let's just say, they need a little work. The island does not have a lot of money to work on the roads, frankly. And it gets really cold, and with the snow, it tears them up every year. So, we were joking that the roads were worse than the trip up to Alaska. But that being said, there's plenty of parking just about everywhere we went. We saw Class Bs, we saw people driving their RVs that didn't have a tow car. So, there definitely is space for you to make that your tow car and to explore the island. Phil: Yeah, in fact, we saw more Class Cs and Bs up there than we did anything else, actually. Hope: Very cool. And then as far as activities, obviously, you can drive around. There's tons of scenery, I'm sure there's beautiful hiking. You know, we know you can do some skiing in the winter. But for the time that you went, what type of activities did you do, or did you see other people doing during the day? Stacy: There's so much, and it's so varied. So, everything from their national park, they have a unique national park, their Gros Morne National Park. You can go to Twillingate, which they're known for iceberg seeing, seeing the icebergs float by. They have, of course, a ton of historic lighthouses. And then one of Phil's favorite things was the whale watching. Phil: Yeah, taking a boat tour out and saying, I mean, we're literally 10, 15 yards away from whales on our trip. So, for me, that was a highlight of the trip. Stacy: Yeah, and then we also explored Gander, which is a really unique town. Gander is the town that accepted all the planes for 9/11 when they were all grounded. It was like 32, was it 32 aircraft or 36 aircraft? Phil: Yeah, it was really cool to go through Gander and learn more about that and how they really everything they did on 9/11 to help all the passengers on those planes. Hope: And then what about at night? What did you guys like to do once the sun went down? Stacy: Well, honestly, most places we were at when the sun went down, the town rolled up its welcome mat, and they were all in bed. So, the only place I would say that that's not the case was Gander. That's a larger town. And then St. John's, so St. John's has a huge active bar scene and music scene. So, there's a ton of restaurants and a ton of nightlife. I say a ton, it's not a huge town, but for the island, it's one of their largest towns. So, yeah, and in fact, we didn't mind going to bed early while we were there because we got up early the next morning and we went to the coast and we caught the sunrise. Phil: Yeah, and then, you know, early bird catches the worm. If you were there at the right time, you would also see whales passing through off the coast. So, that was pretty neat to do. Hope: Any specific spots you saw sunrise, or just anywhere on the coast you went? Stacy: It was at the Cape Spear Lighthouse. It's actually one of the most easterly points. So, we pretty much saw the sunrise before everyone else in not only Canada but in the US. Tyler: Yeah, I think I've read that Cape Spear and Cadillac Mountain, like different times of the year, those two alternate from being the easternmost or where the sunlight hits first in the morning. Stacy: Yeah, and that's pretty cool. Hope: Yeah, so I know you said you went to Signal Hill because you woke up so early, but did you see any awesome sunsets or any really cool stargazing? Stacy: Yes, as a matter of fact, especially over by the national park because it is a dark sky, so there's plenty of stargazing. And of course, it's a very unpopulated island. There are many segments of the island where you'll drive for a while before you see people or towns. So the fact that there's no smog and all that regular city stuff, it really made for a beautiful night sky. Hope: Wow, that's awesome. Definitely somewhere we'll have to get one day, sooner rather than later. You're definitely selling it. Phil: Definitely, we're on it. Definitely recommend it, yeah, highly recommend it. I mean, Signal Hill is where we went in St. John to catch a sunset, and we caught a sunrise from there. So, it's so crazy, the amount of history on that island, from World War I to the Vikings. They have the original Viking settlement there. So, if you're going to Newfoundland, you have to stop in Nova Scotia. We did a river rafting on the Bay of Fundy. Phil: Yeah, it was on the Shubie River. We went out and we rode the tide in. So, literally, we're out there following the water in these rib boats, and the water was only in part of the river deep enough for the boats to get to, and everywhere was sandbars all along there. And at high noon that day, yeah, the Bay of Fundy, the tide came back in, and it was so much water coming back through that river that we caught the waves, and we were up and down. I mean, it was an amazing day. It's one of the highest tides in the world. So, it was so much fun. We actually went into Canada via Maine, into Cape Breton, then into Nova Scotia, and then over to Newfoundland. And then when we came back from Newfoundland, we went all the way through Nova Scotia, jumped on the ferry from there, and came back into Maine. Hope: So, you can take a quick little ferry. It's much faster. It's like a three-hour ferry ride from Maine to Nova Scotia, and it wasn't that expensive. So, check it out. It might be something you're interested in doing because that also saved us like three days of driving all the way back. Just cut across. Hope: Perfect. Very good. So, a lot of fun, lots of helpful tips. So just switching over to cost a little bit, how expensive or affordable is it to go to Newfoundland, do you think? Stacy: I think the most expensive part really is the ferry. And that's based on the length of your RV and your tow car. And we rented a cabin and paid for the ferry. It was around $800 round trip. So, it's not too bad considering. Hope: Oh, that was on the eight-hour trip. Stacy: Yeah. So, it obviously, that's a big expense for some people. And the other big expense RV-wise would be the fuel costs. Fuel is a lot more expensive there because, again, they have to ship it in. You're paying in the Canadian dollar. So, I think cost-wise, those are your two biggest ones. But camping fees are pretty inexpensive. You can find some... they don't call them state parks, they call them, I forget what they call them, but their state parks and their national parks are really inexpensive, as well as some of the private campgrounds we stayed at. So, those will be your biggest two expenses. But I think overall, it was amazing. It was really worth every penny. Hope: Perfect. Definitely sounds like it. And then how was your cell service or your internet service there? Phil: Well, great question. So once we got across the Canadian border and we entered through Maine, our T-Mobile stopped. It's like somebody flipped a switch. So, what we relied on while we were there was our Starlink. And we used our Starlink heavily. Now, we did have to change our plan from a residential plan to... I don't even know what they call it now, it's a mobile global plan, like internal. They forced us to change our plan while we were there, but it was an easy switch online. And that's what saved us while we were there, as far as internet goes. Stacy: Yeah. And with our cell phones, we also had to switch over to international for our cell phones. And almost everybody has it now, it's Canada and Mexico. Hope: Absolutely. And then, how about food? Anything you enjoyed there that you want to mention? Phil: I don't think we have anything specific. I did try a mooseburger and wasn't a fan, not a fan. Tyler: Not a fan? Phil: I had two because we were there, and we tried moose soup. Phil: Yeah, Phil doesn't venture out much when it comes to foods. Stacy: There's a ton of seafood, like fresh-caught that morning. You're going to find it all over the island, and it is amazing. They do have some of their own specialties, and I forget the names of some of them. They had like a cod al'grian or something. Phil: Oh, yeah. Stacy: They do cook sometimes pretty heavy, as far as cheese and fat. So, I was... After three weeks, it was good to get more vegetables. Unfortunately, they don't have a lot of veggies over there because they have to ship everything in. So, we were definitely deficient in our veggies while we were there. But we love eating local and trying out their signature dishes. So, it was interesting while we were there. Hope: Awesome. Well, it sounds great. Just bring your green powder with you. Stacy: Yes, because you can't cross the border with all your fresh veggies. They don't allow you to. So, just kind of keep that in the back of your mind. Phil: Yeah. They have an extensive checklist online when you're crossing into Canada. So, make sure you don't get caught with those because you won't have them very long, that's for sure. Phil: Yeah. You won't. Hope: That's good. And we'll have to link that checklist down below in the show notes. So, just anyone crossing the border in general has that information. Stacy: That's perfect. Tyler: Great. Well, we'll transition to the 3-2-1 countdown, the final three questions of the podcast. So, when you're going to Newfoundland or Newfoundland, however the locals pronounce it, what are three things you're packing? Stacy: All right. So, definitely, if you have any special dietary needs, you need to bring those. And hopefully, your dietary needs can cross the border because items they have to choose from at most of the grocery stores are going to be mom and pop. So, it's going to be hard to get what you normally eat. And then, of course, your medications, depending on how long you're going to be there, because if you run out, you won't be able to just have them called in and pick up. So, those are the two biggest things. And then, I think the last thing would be definitely dress for all climates, all seasons while you're there. Even though we were there for the summer, there were days where the weather would change and it was wet and it was freezing. So, make sure you're not just prepared for summer. You have all the layers and everything you need while you're there. Tyler: Good points. As far as two complaints or things people wish they prepared more for, what would those be? Phil: I think fuel. Stacy: Fuel, yeah. I would say... Phil: And it's surprisingly how much that is because, again, they have to ship it over there, and you have to do fuzzy math while you're at the pump. We deal in gallons; they deal in liters. So, if you're trying to stay within a budget and do the math and the comparison, it could be there for days trying to figure that out. And another thing with the fuel is make sure if you're passing a station, you fill up because gas stations, especially for diesel, were few and far between. So, you definitely don't want to get stuck in a situation where you need gas and there's nothing close by. Stacy: Yeah. And then, the last thing, I think, is just people. We kind of mentioned it earlier that people don't realize how big it is. So, when you're planning to make sure you realize how big the island is. I mean, it would be like trying to visit all of Texas, going from Dallas to Galveston to Big Bend, Austin, and trying to plan all that in just a couple of weeks. It's near impossible to do all that. So, just kind of keep that in mind. Tyler: Great. How are the crowds? I know you went in the summertime; that's probably peak season. But you were able to get campgrounds last minute? Stacy: We never really felt like it was crowded anywhere. Obviously, St. John is their biggest city. But even that, we got right into one of their really nice, big campgrounds without a problem. So, I never felt like it was crowded. And there were... I mean, there were crowds doing the sightseeing stuff, the tours, the whale watching. There were quite a few boats out. But that was again centered around the big city. And we got into all of those. There was never a time where we wanted to do something and we couldn't because it was all booked up. Tyler: Great. Yeah, perfect. Okay, our last question, guys. You talked about a lot of things to do today. But what is one thing you cannot leave Newfoundland without doing? Phil: For me, it was whale watching by far. Getting on that whale watching tour, seeing the different birds and the puffins. They're low-flying to the water, and they were everywhere out there. But not only seeing one type of whale, but we saw two or three different species of whales while we were out there. And the one came up really close to the boat with her calf. For me, that was the highlight. Stacy: Yeah, it was really great. I think more for me, it would be more the historic stuff. The lighthouses... I know Phil hates history, so Signal Hill, learning about Gander. So, all the history stuff that we were able to hit up, I really loved all of that. Tyler: Perfect. Well, sounds like there's a little bit for everything in Newfoundland. So, thank you for sharing. I think this definitely provided a lot of people their itinerary, some tips and tricks for visiting.
