This one’s got it all: reckless driving, flashing lights, corrupt customs officers… and a couch that might be the most uncomfortable seat in Lebanon. Rosie and Roula get personal and a little lawless in this week’s episode, sharing wild stories about run-ins with the police, driving faux pas, and a full-blown wrongful arrest (yes, really).
From accidentally speeding on an empty highway to being detained with an Interpol alert on a child’s passport, this episode is funny, infuriating, and more real than you'd expect. Rosie’s clean record is on the line, and Roula owns up (kind of) to her rule-breaking ways with charm, of course.
In this episode:
- What happens when the traffic police catch you jamming to music at 127 km/h
- How Rosie escaped a ticket by wearing a teacher badge
- The shocking story of Roula and her daughter being detained at the airport for 12 hours
- A crash course in Interpol alerts, sexist officers, and international travel headaches
If you’ve ever been pulled over, speed-sung through traffic, or wondered what a couch in a Lebanese police office feels like this one’s for you.
