OMG is convinced he’s been pickpocketed at a Loire Valley bar. He demands Jeff “call the cops” before his identity is stolen because he watched a TV program with his mom about miscreants who did exactly that at bars. The panic escalates when he discovers he’s missing 12 euros, his birth certificate, and part of his driver’s license — but not his passport.

Jeff lays out the options:Spend 120 euros to go back to Paris alone, or keep riding with the group while Jeff checks with the local police. OMG chooses to stay, mostly because he doesn’t want to spend the money on the train back to Paris.

After pointing OMG in the right direction, Jeff stops by the bar — now a quiet morning café — and the bartender casually hands him OMG’s entire fanny pack, complete with all the “stolen” items. Jeff pays OMG’s bar tab and shakes his head when the bartender wishes him "bonne chance."

This episode delivers:

• Loire Valley travel mishaps

• Identity‑theft paranoia

• Group‑tour comedy

• Lost‑and‑found chaos

  And Jeff’s ongoing attempt to keep OMG from self‑destructing.

  Perfect for listeners who love memoir‑style storytelling, travel disasters, and characters who cannot be invented.

In this episode of OH MY GOD: Misadventures in French Wine Country, Jeff thinks he’s getting a quiet night away from his unpredictable trio… until he walks into his favorite Loire Valley bar and finds them already there.

Grumpy and Mr. Personality are doubled over laughing because OMG is drunk — not from ordering drinks, but from chugging the abandoned beer dregs of other patrons. Jeff realizes tomorrow is going to be a problem.

He’s right.

The next morning, OMG announces he can’t find his wallet, setting the stage for what could become a full‑blown French bureaucratic nightmare. Jeff braces himself for paperwork, police reports, and the kind of administrative chaos only France can deliver.

• Bar‑night comedy

• Group‑tour chaos

• Lost‑wallet drama in France

In Part 3 of OH MY GOD: Misadventures in French Wine Country, Jeff pulls off a miracle: getting four bikes onto a French train by taking them apart, stuffing them into bags, and staring down a conductor who definitely knows the rules… but apparently doesn’t enforce them. Welcome to train travel in France.

Grumpy, Mr. Personality, and OMG settle in for the ride to the Loire Valley, but making conversation with OMG proves impossible. He communicates mostly through strange noises and monologues about beer, his mom, and Canadian TV — a combination that tests everyone's patience.

When they finally arrive, Jeff announces that the hotel is only 30 meters away. OMG gears up like he’s about to ride the Tour de France, hops on his bike, pedals toward the hotel… and immediately crashes.

This episode delivers:

• Gearing up to go nowhere

• French train travel shenanigans

• Group-tour awkwardness at its most unusual

• A spectacularly unnecessary bike crash
