Are you an a**hole tourist? | EP 444
0It’s time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin discuss minor details in movies that bug them as well as the importance of being considerate and respectful when traveling and the negative impact of tourism on local communities. The dorks chat about a town in Japan that is building a big screen to block the view of Mount Fuji in order to deter tourists. They share their frustration with people who prioritize capturing moments on their phone instead of being present and just experiencing them.
Things are wrapped up with another Ask Practical Doug, where Doug and Justin answer an AITA question from Reddit about whether or not someone was the bad guy for eloping because their siblings had parents-only weddings.
