49. Eugene, Oregon

Saison 2 · Épisode 26

mercredi 26 novembre 2025 • Durée 58:49

Jordan weirdly proclaims Eugene as his “Oregon White Whale” because, until early 2025, it has felt like an impenetrable city to him. Oregon’s second largest city is home to Jordan’s family’s greatest enemy: The University of Oregon — which he was taught at a very young age to despise with the fiery hot passion of ten thousand beaver pelts, but he thinks would have been a great school for him.

Katie visited her cousin, who attended UofO, and rode bikes around in traffic for the first time ever and also snuck into at least two classes and still feels guilty about it.

Jordan’s first foray into Eugene came during his junior year of high school after he was selected to join the All-State band and right before the performance, a random actual adult man asked the 16-year-old Jordan if he knew where to find some weed. Jordan was scared.

Katie finally experiences Eugene’s Hult Center for the Performing Arts and the two gush about how much they love the theater.

Jordan reveals Eugene’s nickname of Track Town, U.S.A. and Katie reminisces about her time on the high school track and field team.

48. Tübingen, Germany

Saison 2 · Épisode 25

mercredi 19 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:04:50

Grab a fresh brezel and mix yourself a Colaweizen because this week is all about a very special place in Germany for Katie and Jordan: the university city of Tübingen.

Katie is joined by a boy who is 58 percent German. And that boy is her husband Jordan, who falls in love with 58 percent of his ancestral homeland the second they get off the train — and also curses Disney movies for making him very confused on what the German esthetic is.

Years earlier, Katie travels to Tübingen from Oregon to crash the wedding of a former foreign exchange student, and brings their mutual friend from Belgium along. They also crash at the bride and groom’s house and during the reception, Katie loses a vital piece of her wardrobe.

While roaming around Tübingen at night, Jordan concerns their German friend with his complete lack of German literature knowledge while being shown a sign commemorating the writer Goethe puking from a third-story window. The night takes an unexpected turn when Katie invites herself into a hilltop castle-mansion-thing and they all meet The Count.

You’re probably going to need two Colaweizens for this wild ride!

47. Bayocean, Oregon

Saison 2 · Épisode 24

mercredi 12 novembre 2025 • Durée 53:41

It’s time to visit an Oregon town that time nearly forgot!

Katie and Jordan live a couple miles away from a peninsula that was once home to a cutting edge resort town literally and perilously built on sand and is now buried beneath ten feet of it.

Bayocean was built on a spit of land that separated Tillamook Bay from the Pacific Ocean. It existed from 1906 and was battered by the elements for decades before the final structure collapsed in 1972. It was promoted as “The Atlantic City of the West” and this tiny four-mile long peninsula has an incredible history that is being remembered and revisited.

Katie has memories of jogging the wild trails that used to be paved roads with electric lights and Jordan admits to really enjoying foraging for magic mushrooms with his friend that will only be known as “Super Mario” over the ruins of the town.

46. Mexico City, Mexico

Saison 2 · Épisode 23

mercredi 5 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:08:36

Insect caviar! An urban green space twice the size of Central Park! The 52,000-pound Aztec Sun Stone!

The oldest and highest elevation North American metropolis dives straight into the hearts of the Exploregonians as they venture to Mexico City.

Katie and Jordan make a friend on the plane and after landing, has her parents give them all a tour of the historical heart of the city and then a pitstop to a secret doughnut experience.

Katie gushes about Mexico City’s art scene and Jordan loves the wild murals and graffiti.

Jordan forces himself to wear jeans in the heat of Mexico because he read, in order to blend in, wear pants; Thankfully, it doesn’t prevent him from enjoying all the trees in the city.

Katie is obsessed with Chapultepec, the enormous urban park twice the size of Manhattan’s Central Park. The two tour the National Anthropology Museum and Katie discovers the charming ball game in “The Road to El Dorado” is real and often ended in decapitation, but before they entered the museum, were ambush-interviewed by a group of 12-year-old boys on a field trip.

The city will always hold a special place in Katie and Jordan’s hearts.

45. Halloween in Oregon

Saison 2 · Épisode 22

mercredi 29 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:01:50

How do two scaredy cats celebrate Halloween? Katie does it by closing her eyes in haunted houses and Jordan wears a visor to weave through corn mazes in the daylight.

Tricks and treats abound as Katie and Jordan talk about some of their favorite memories of Halloween in Oregon, a famous movie that shot in the town of St. Helens, and Katie talks about a Care Bear costume that was just too snug in the hands as a kid and a handmade Tinkerbell costume that Katie enthusiastically cut way too short in the back.

And Katie remembers one of her favorite Halloweens ever featuring a Bollywood-enhanced version of Thriller.

44. Portland, Maine

Saison 2 · Épisode 21

mercredi 22 octobre 2025 • Durée 53:58

Katie thinks she’s hilarious as the podcast goes back-to-back Portlands! Jordan says it’s taking a bit of a “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace” approach.

Find out if Portland, Maine is the actual, true Original Recipe Portland and how a flip of a coin changed the destiny of both big-city American Portlands.

Katie loves the brick and ivy in the Old Port area, but really wishes she saw more people in yellow rain slickers and matching hats. Jordan is confused by New England Boat Culture and shares which state has more coastline: Oregon or Maine.

Also, hear about lobster rolls and a woman with aggressively strong boundaries.

43. Portland, Oregon

Saison 2 · Épisode 20

mercredi 15 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:19:25

It’s finally time to journey to the City of Roses!

Katie and Jordan scratch the surface of a dozen years of adventures in Portland, Oregon and reminisce about the dance injury that led to Jordan giving Katie a piggyback ride to urgent care.

Jordan’s earliest Portland memories are wrapped around nearly being abducted by the circus and going to his first concert to see the dream performer every 90s kid was dying to see: Neil Diamond.

Katie claims Portland is kinda goth and Jordan claims it’s just introverted.

The duo discuss Portlandia, the United States’ second-largest copper statue that is under some intense copyright by its creator.

Jordan learns all about the legendary Portland figure Bill Naito and how he shaped much of the modern identity of downtown Portland for the better.

42. Disneyland (Halloween Edition)

Saison 2 · Épisode 19

mercredi 8 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:30:33

Katie and Jordan reckon with possibly being Disney Adults in Denial as they return to The Happiest Place on Earth for Halloween time.

The duo attend the popular Oogie Boogie Bash and wear unexpected costumes (that Jordan was 80 percent sure would be allowed in) that ultimately led to very fun interactions with everyone in the park. Katie goes on a deep dive in a rabbit hole exploring the convoluted backstory of the event.

Jordan shares his wisdom-nuggets about the first Disneyland Halloween event in 1959 and the most important one (with wild results) on Oct. 31, 1994 — on a Monday, of all things! He also reveals that the Southern California theme parks are largely responsible for how Halloween has taken hold of the American imagination over the past fifty years.

Also, Jordan will die on the hill that "Ghost Galaxy" is the worst seasonal overlay in any Disney park worldwide. Ew.

41. The Oregon Vortex

Saison 2 · Épisode 18

mercredi 1 octobre 2025 • Durée 51:23

There is a famous anomaly in Southern Oregon that Katie and Jordan finally physically find themselves in this week.

The Oregon Vortex has confused, frustrated, and mystified people for nearly a century. People appear way shorter or taller than they usually do! Things roll uphill! A broom can stand by itself! By. Itself. This mysterious sphere of a vortex has even inspired a Disney animated series.

Katie and Jordan discuss what it was like to visit the legendary place in Oregon that is equal parts science experiment and roadside attraction.

40. Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

Saison 2 · Épisode 17

mercredi 24 septembre 2025 • Durée 57:02

Battling intense allergies and/or a sinus infection, Katie discusses her first solo outing as a traveler: the Galápagos Islands. She journeyed from Colombia to Quito, Ecuador before hopping on a plane and a boat to the archipelago, which is an excellent word.

Jordan throws out the trivia nugget for the old definition of “galápago” then proceeds to make two excellent puns on the word that impresses nobody.

Katie’s first time snorkeling was off the islands and when she wasn’t in the water, she was obsessed with the marine iguanas and has dozens of photos to prove it.

While in South America (which someone once debated Katie that she wasn’t “really” in South America because it really doesn’t start until Peru), Katie describes her Spanish ability as “mal” which translates to bad as in “evil” and not bad as in “bad”.
