Live from Ipanema Beach, two and a half weeks into our Brazil adventure, we’re sweaty, slightly sunburned, and full of stories. From record-breaking heat (63 degrees of pure, unforgiving "sensation") to navigating Brazil’s kissy kissy culture, this episode is a pre-carnival fever dream.

We’re covering it all:

• The hottest thing in Rio right now? The temperature. It’s insane. ❤️‍🔥
• The other hottest thing? Brazilian bodies. Why is everyone so shredded? Are we missing a national fitness memo?
• Going out in Brazil – the parties, the chaos, the questionable decisions
• Birdie’s strategy for kissing in Brazil (a masterclass in romantic efficiency)
• Surfing in Brazil – why it was incredible & the surf school you need to check out 🏄🏽‍♀️
• Bella’s hospital visit (again… what is it with her and foreign hospitals?) 🏥
• Our expectations for Carnival in Rio – will we survive it?
• And, the big question: How many people did you kiss in one day? 💋

Oh, and if you’re looking for a surf school that won’t make you cry salty tears into your caipirinha, check out Meninas do Mar in Itacaré. (tell Jane that you come from Birdie & Bella!)

Tune in now – it's sweaty, flirty, and slightly unhinged. Just like a proper Brazilian night out.
