This week on TLT, we head to Tunisia! Join us as Zaki and Zaeem visit iconic Star Wars locations, discover secret gardens, and relax at scenic resorts by the beach. Ali, on the other hand, spends his time examining the bowel movements of elephants and arguing about the usefulness of outdoor staircases. Also, Sea Goats.
