I don't know if it was intentional, but "Stateside Scramble" sounds to me like something you would find on the breakfast menu (served all day) of a traditional American roadside diner, or a bar-and-grill. So I decided to make it.

The fixin's are food items seen in the game, with a few exceptions: The eggs are there because it's a scramble (plus: chicken). I subbed hash-brown potatoes, because chips in a scramble just wouldn't be right.

No AI was used in the development of this recipe. No spoilers for final episode.

Ingredients (imperial units, because America)

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cups frozen hashed potatoes
• 1 diced onion
• 6 fast-food packets of ketchup
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste)
• 6 large eggs
• 8 individually wrapped slices of American cheese food (or the equivalent Cheese Whiz)

Instructions

1. Sculpt butter into a farm animal[IA], then melt in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
2. Add potatoes drizzled with ketchup[CN], and onions[SZ] and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, beat eggs and mix with cayenne pepper[TN].
4. Pour eggs into skillet with potatoes.
5. Unwrap 7 slices of cheese[SZ] (or spoon out equivalent Cheese Whiz) and add to the skillet.
6. Continue cooking, stirring to scramble, until eggs are done.
7. Remove from heat and top with 1 slice of American cheese[SZ]
8. Serve with a bourbon-and-coke sour: 2 parts bourbon[KY], 4 parts Coke[GA], 1 part lemon juice[MA], on ice[MN]. Or margaritas[MV].

Serves 1 American.

Optional add-ons:

• Green peppers – commonly added to cheesesteak sandwiches[SZ].
• Strips of cooked chicken[TN] or steak[SZ].

I’m a new subscriber (stumbled upon rail rush) and I really want to be able to watch the layover, but I’m not sure if nebula is worth it. For reference I am in uni and binged all of JLTG this summer. Thanks!

It's late July 2026 and I am assuming by this point we will not be getting Tag Eur It 4/5(whichever you'd prefer to call it). If memory serves this is typically filmed in June and airs September/October. So by that logic it's too late for the usual dates.

What are your opinions for going away from this stalwart JLTG format? Or are they possibly going to move the format to a different part of the globe this year? We will see how the jets lag.

Season 18 in the books, every county is marked within Jet Lag for Seasons 1-2-4-8-18 combined. Badam exclusively went to Brooklyn (Kings County) for the Pastry Mile in S2.

Red- Badam

Gold - Sam

Green - Both sides

Airport layovers within security also don't count, which is why Sam has Anchorage, Badam has Maricopa County, King county didnt count until S8 etc.

This also shows how both teams didn't reach Grand Canyon National Park grounds, which is Coconino County. The Helicopters and the rideshare go into Mohave county.

Thanks to the Minnesota based fans for correcting the MN portion, which I have to complain to the production for getting the path from Sam's lake (Mankato) to MSP incorrect making up a graphic instead of communicating with the players. The bridge shows an I-35 route from the South instead of coming from the west into the Mall of America.

Some states barely clipped, others just revisited on the Acela seen in S4. A sleeper train puts Ohio in Gray for not being shown/visited in any capacity.

For those of you who don’t know, Tokaido is a board game which is inspired by travel. (And specifically travelling through Japan!).

The board is a long one way journey, where you can choose to stop at any of the landmarks along the way. Each landmark is a different type of travel experience - shopping, scenery, food, relaxation - and give you points which you accumulate for the end of the game. Player with the most points wins (as they have the most fulfilling trip!)

A couple of points of interest if the latest season is inspired by Tokaido:

1. Tokaido’s scenery landmarks literally ask players to build a panorama! It would be a neat tie in
   
2. The core mechanic of Tokaido is that while players are free to move to any space (they just arent allowed to move backwards), at the end of each day, all players must reach a set inn. Would this be the first season where players are expected to end the day in the same location? And the location will be known?
   
3. Tokaido is fun because you can choose custom players which have different powerups. Would that be incorporated (i think unlikely)

It would be so cool if it was Tokaido inspired, for travel to inspire a board game and then the board game to inspire a board game travel show!

It’s definitely a highlight of my week and it makes me really look forward to Wednesdays and watching during my lunch break or at the end of a very busy day.

A sincere thank you to everybody involved in the making of these shows.

Since there's a Margaritaville in Ontario if Samy hadn't claimed Canada already could this wild card have been used to get Canada?

Hi all,

I decided the pay a visit to Hospenthal to see where Adam hid in the castle. It is a very nice village to see, look at the photos!

After seeing the Margaritaville Time zone guessing challenge, I figured it could make a fun little web game. So... I did that.

https://www.timezonetag.com. Let me know what you think.

I for one am looking forward to another season of Tom referring to ‘the lads’.

The ÖBB has honoured JLTG by putting the Snack Zone in their new trains, I think it is only fair that this sub should add an ÖBB flair as a sign of mutual respect. Besides, we did see some ÖBB action in a few seasons - even if it was just for a few train rides here and there :)

EDIT: Tyvm, eternal glory to the mods 🫡

I get that they the licensing would've cost more than all of the flights but it still would have been so cool to have that in the intro, maybe with both teams recreating the music video.

The overlap in the venn diagram for this is definetly just me.

Just hold up the L-I-G-H-T?

SAM-y with the short-a vowel from Sam's name?

or sAMY with the long-a vowel from Amy's name?

I'm nominating Jet Lag: The Game at this weird little media awards show a class in my college is doing, but in order to do so, I need to pick a single episode to represent it. So I ask reddit this: what do you think is the single best episode of Jet Lag: The Game, or the episode that best exemplifies its strengths?

Hi, do these exist anywhere (specifically UK) would love to play one sometime

Hi all. Just wanted to share this JLTG logo keychain that I made out of epoxy resin and acrylic markers. How does it look?

Is the cut for time nebula episode usually the week after the finale or is there an empty week first?

I was listening back to old episodes of The Layover and hearing the guys talk about their initial ideas for a canal boat-based game in the UK made me realise how something like that does already exist! The BCN challenge is an annual event where crews have 24 hours to travel as much of the Birmingham area canals as possible, earning points for sections completed, number of locks traversed, and for answering questions along the way. Birmingham has such a dense network of canals there's a lot of options for different routes and strategies!

I was crew for a boat on the challenge a few years ago and Cruising the Cut came along with us for a bit as part of his videos on the challenge. Bit pedestrian in pace compared to Jet Lag videos, but still worth a watch if you're interested!

I'm still not convinced canal boats would actually work for Jet Lag season because inexperienced boaters might really struggle (see how bad it got for us in that video) but it's a great event that I think has the Jet Lag ethos of the world as a game board!

the teams were Sam + Michelle, and Ben + Adam. it started in Buenos Aires.

Sam + Michelle claimed Argentina (it was a region claiming game), and they planned that they would go for Chile next. Meanwhile Ben + Adam were flying to Columbia.

to claim a country, you must do a "cultural challenge" (i have no idea what that means)
