4. No Towels, No Toilet Paper, No Problem

[00:00:01] Speaker A: This is the true story of one family who sold their house, packed up their life, and decided to live nowhere on purpose. [00:00:11] Speaker B: What absolute abnormal people would even conceive of something this ridiculous? Two kids, two parents, six months, no fixed address. [00:00:31] Speaker A: There are some people who are like, oh, that's so nice for you, and probably secretly in their head going, what the fuck? Find out what happens when you stop watching the travel influencers who make it all look perfect and start living their nomadic life with kids for real. [00:00:54] Speaker B: Did we name this podcast? [00:00:56] Speaker A: We called it Trips and Giggles. [00:00:57] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. Because I was gonna say, welcome back to Trip Giggles. Go. Isn't this the part where you do the TV thing where you hold up your hand. [00:01:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:01:08] Speaker B: And you go, you know the number three. And you don't sing anything for two. And then one, and like Wayne's World, you, like, take the hand, the finger, and you just swing it on someone's face. [00:01:17] Speaker A: Except it's an audio podcast, so that really wouldn't work except just for us. [00:01:22] Speaker B: Well, that's the point, though. [00:01:25] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:01:30] Speaker B: This is Dr. Bye. I'd like to help you with today's situation. [00:01:33] Speaker A: Hey, listen, intellect doesn't always mean common sense. You know what I'm saying? [00:01:37] Speaker B: I'm messing around. [00:01:38] Speaker A: It's fine. [00:01:40] Speaker B: Welcome back. Did we name this podcast? [00:01:43] Speaker A: We called it Trips and Giggles. [00:01:45] Speaker B: Oh, that's right. Okay. [00:01:45] Speaker A: But I'm not exactly sure that I'm, like, unsold on that title. [00:01:49] Speaker B: Okay. Because I was gonna say welcome back to Trips and Giggles. [00:01:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:01:52] Speaker B: I should preface this by saying I don't remember what we talked about last time. I think that's the lifeline. [00:01:56] Speaker A: I think it was mostly maggots. [00:01:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Having young kids and being here on this, like, adventure. I feel like even if we weren't doing this regularly, my. My slate gets wiped. [00:02:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:07] Speaker B: It's like, have you. Has this happen to you? Like, you'll talk to somebody, like one of your, you know, contractors or, like, work thing, and people don't know where to talk to, and they're like, oh, what'd you do this weekend? And you're like, I have no idea. You know, we probably did so much. We probably walked, like, eight miles, went to a resort, got rained on, had maggots attack. Like, all those things happen. You're like, I don't remember. Yeah, I didn't sleep. [00:02:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:31] Speaker B: Anyway, so we're back, and today we're going to go a little deeper into Mexico. We kind of gave a pretty large, long overview last time, which mostly was revolved around maggots in our Airbnb just having a bunch of shit go wrong. [00:02:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:48] Speaker B: Which, again, did also say, they're still very responsive. And I actually went over today to the other Airbnb that the person owns, and you surf their blender because we didn't have one because I wanted to. [00:02:58] Speaker A: Make salsa with their permission. [00:03:01] Speaker B: Oh. I didn't just break into the house. Yeah, you're right. I have a crowbar. I bring on trips like this because you never know. [00:03:06] Speaker A: Well, I'm just saying. I just wanted to mention that, yes, they've been very kind and responsive. [00:03:14] Speaker B: I'm so glad that you act as, like, the legal team on the podcast. Like, I'd be so concerned that I'd be doing things that were like, well, nobody. [00:03:22] Speaker A: You know, they don't. You never know. Right. I really need that blender. I saw it through the window. [00:03:29] Speaker B: Oh, Mike. I was like, they better not stock something in their other house. They're not stocking in our house. [00:03:34] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:03:34] Speaker B: I'm taking this. There's a microwave in there, too. Should I go back for it? [00:03:39] Speaker A: I mean, I would. You know, it's been a little challenging reheating leftovers. [00:03:44] Speaker B: Well, I was just like. I mean, I was pretty clear with the person. I wrote them. I was like, hey, I'd like the blender. I want the blender. Okay. [00:03:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:52] Speaker B: Also, I have to say, I didn't show you this in the text message back and forth. I'm gonna pull this up as we speak. It was actually pretty funny because I just was. I was like, well, I don't want to say I'm coming to get the blender in the other house. So I'm just like, is there a blender in the house looking to make salsa? And I couldn't find one. Hello? Scared ghost emoji. I think we don't have any, but if you want to go to this place and get the one there, you can. And I said, is that the other place we stayed? And then the right back was. I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. Now I'm in my children birthdays party. [00:04:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:31] Speaker B: I didn't ask you to go get the blender. [00:04:33] Speaker A: No, no. [00:04:34] Speaker B: I just said. [00:04:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I said. [00:04:37] Speaker B: No, I'm just. Just asking. [00:04:38] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:04:39] Speaker B: That's all. [00:04:39] Speaker A: I'm really glad that you're in communication with her now, because I think that my social anxiety and my anxiety about, like, pissing other people off. [00:04:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:51] Speaker A: Would have just caused me to go. [00:04:55] Speaker B: Into a cave, and you wouldn't have had that conversation. With her, is what you're saying. [00:04:58] Speaker A: Oh, no. [00:04:59] Speaker B: I really wanted the blender, though. Like, I was. I'm really getting into making salsas, which we'll talk about later. Different episode. But anyway, I just really wanted the blender. And, like, I think my social anxiety stops when I really want something. [00:05:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:05:10] Speaker B: It's like. It's like, what is the. What is the anxiety versus reward. [00:05:13] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:05:13] Speaker B: Situation, you know? [00:05:15] Speaker A: So, like, again, I mean, I just keep thinking, are we. Is she gonna write a terrible review about me on Airbnb and I'll never be able to get an Airbnb again? That's a. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Is that a realistic, reasonable thought process? [00:05:29] Speaker A: Me as a psychologist, Megan, what is the evidence for and against that thought? [00:05:34] Speaker B: I'm concerned about, like, your professional career in this podcast. Like, we may need to edit that out or just makes it real. Right? [00:05:42] Speaker A: It's real. [00:05:43] Speaker B: Just because you're not a. Just because you're a professional doesn't mean you don't also. You're not also a client. [00:05:49] Speaker A: Right. I mean, what I say in the therapy room is different than how I live my life. Although I do try to use the things that I teach other people, but sometimes, you know, those unwanted thoughts kind of creep in. [00:06:02] Speaker B: You know, A lot of therapists I've met seem to be, like, some of the most anxious people I've ever known. [00:06:05] Speaker A: Well, you go into therapy for a reason. [00:06:13] Speaker B: Oh, man. Let's talk about therapists another day. [00:06:15] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:06:16] Speaker B: I think we touched on this last time. I'm pretty sure we didn't, but I. So for the. Again, the three listeners, I'm sorry if this is a repeat, but we have to, like, talk a little bit more about this, which is when we were in Portugal. Yes, we went during the rainy season. [00:06:31] Speaker A: Yes, we did. [00:06:32] Speaker B: And we lived in Seattle for three years. And people back home who never lived there, we were in the east coast, were always like, yeah, do you enjoy the rain? Like, someone literally bought me umbrellas as, like, my going away gift, you know? Yeah, enjoy the rain. Meanwhile, we love Seattle. [00:06:49] Speaker C: Yes. Yeah. [00:06:50] Speaker B: Wonderful experience. The rain was really pretty much. [00:06:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:06:55] Speaker B: You know, a dampness feel like nobody. [00:06:57] Speaker A: Wore any kind of raincoat. [00:06:59] Speaker B: Umbrellas. [00:07:00] Speaker A: No, they're just, like, efforts. [00:07:01] Speaker B: They didn't care. Right. [00:07:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:04] Speaker B: But when we went to Portugal, rainy season meant, like, downpours. [00:07:11] Speaker A: Wasn't it, like, the most rainy season for, like, on record for like, a. [00:07:15] Speaker B: Century or something like that? [00:07:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:16] Speaker B: Right. It was, like, 224 inches in, like, 88 or something, which we hit. But we Then were like, oh, we're cool. We're fine with being damp all the time and having multiple pairs of shoes that never dried out because the humidity was so high. Right? [00:07:30] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:07:30] Speaker B: That was the other part of it. It's like, shit wouldn't dry. [00:07:33] Speaker C: Yes. [00:07:33] Speaker B: You know what I mean? The dryer didn't work. [00:07:35] Speaker A: We only halfway through, decided to start using the dehumidifier in the house, too. [00:07:39] Speaker B: Which I was dumping out. I'd say two gallons of water every three to four hours. [00:07:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:45] Speaker B: Like, we might as well have, like, made the place a pool and just swam back and forth. [00:07:50] Speaker A: I know. We were trying to dry clothes because there was no dry. And it was just. [00:07:54] Speaker B: We should come back to that. That's a good thing. [00:07:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:56] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:56] Speaker C: Let's. [00:07:56] Speaker B: Let's move forward. So we decided to go to San Miguel. [00:08:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:01] Speaker B: During rainy season. [00:08:02] Speaker A: I did not know it was rainy season, but. Sure you did. [00:08:05] Speaker B: It was. I thought you were. [00:08:06] Speaker A: I knew it. [00:08:06] Speaker B: I knew we're gonna change our trip and not sell the house and go. [00:08:10] Speaker A: No, no, we were good. I didn't. I knew that it was not high season. Like, this is not the season where the most tourists come, because I heard from my cousin who lives here, it's low season, quote unquote, AKA rainy season. And I. But I didn't realize that that equated to rainy season. [00:08:29] Speaker B: Okay. I thought you said to me. And again, my memory is shit. And it's possible you were like, hey, it's rainy season. Well, I was like, fine, because I was literally looking for vests and shit. I knew. I think I said I was gonna buy one. We get here. [00:08:43] Speaker A: I do think I remember saying something like, oh, I heard that there's, like, a light rain most afternoons. [00:08:50] Speaker B: Light rain. [00:08:52] Speaker A: It's not. AKA massive thunderstorms. Every afternoon and evening, these are thunderstorms. [00:08:59] Speaker B: Like, we're talking about severe lightning. Like, we're out to dinner the one night with our friends, and we're looking at the hills, watching bolts of lightning, like, across in the mountains. And I was like, holy shit. [00:09:10] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:11] Speaker A: And like, large claps of thunder. [00:09:13] Speaker B: These things come fast. And the weather, like, the radar, it tells you nothing. It tells you nothing. It's like, oh, chance of rain every day. So. Which was, like, similar to Portugal was like, if there's a 5% chance of rain, you're gonna get nailed at some point. [00:09:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:29] Speaker B: And so, like, we bought an umbrella during one of the downpours. We were rained on, like, a week into it. And so now it's like, we just huddle around this little umbrella or we just hide inside, right? [00:09:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:39] Speaker B: But I think for me, like, I think I said this last time, just trying to, like, I tried to hang dry clothes again in another country. [00:09:47] Speaker A: I keep getting rained on every five minutes. [00:09:50] Speaker B: And then the second problem being, which we said is our laundry room is outside. [00:09:55] Speaker A: And I don't know how it does not ruin the washer and dryer. I probably said this before. How does an electronic piece of equipment get rained on? [00:10:04] Speaker B: And I'm just like, okay. So then I stopped. So after the clothes got soaked three days in a row, just left them on the hanger, soaking, and I put them in the shower to dry for three days. Now I'm like, okay, I'm going to stop hanging shit up. Cool. You still can't. You're on the. It's a third story. Okay. I don't have shoes. I don't have an umbrella. And if you walk on the tiles and you step on it, water seeps out from underneath the tiles. And so it's like it turns. Like, even when the flood stops, the flood keeps going. [00:10:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:31] Speaker B: I saw a giant spider out there the other day. [00:10:32] Speaker A: Oh, God. Oh, God. I'm glad you didn't tell me. [00:10:35] Speaker B: It was like. [00:10:38] Speaker A: Meanwhile, our daughter is, like, trying to use YouTube videos to make paper boats because there are these, like, grooves in the side of the road. [00:10:48] Speaker B: Channels. [00:10:49] Speaker A: They're like channels. [00:10:50] Speaker B: Gutter is like, incorrect. I'm talking about like a. Like a six inch. No, no, four inch wide, four inch deep, like, channel. [00:10:56] Speaker A: Right. If you stepped off the sidewalk and you weren't paying attention, you would break your ankle because it's like you'd be stepping into a channel. Anyway, she's like, oh, if it rains, I want to carry around this paper boat and try and float it down the gutter. Slash channel. Which, you know, it's very creative idea, actually. [00:11:14] Speaker B: We try to make ripple boats, even though our sister destroyed it the other day. [00:11:17] Speaker A: Yeah, she did rip the structor. [00:11:18] Speaker B: Took it down. But yes, I mean, the level of rain. And so when you see the rain, it comes quick. It's flash floods. And then it just covers the roads. Yeah, I mean, covers looks like a river coming down these roads. Because we're on the side of a mountain. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Yes. [00:11:33] Speaker B: And so then like the. Like that giant grateful. There's like a giant grate that's like a block from us. I mean, it's huge. I mean, it's like, it's. It's. It's probably maybe 12ft across. Maybe 6ft long and it's like covers the roadway to just get all this water into a sewer point. [00:11:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I actually, I was walking to Greek and Coffee, which is a cool place to take your kids. I think I mentioned it before. [00:11:54] Speaker B: If you come here, they said geek and coffee. [00:11:56] Speaker A: Geek and Coffee. [00:11:57] Speaker B: Okay. Greek coffee. [00:11:57] Speaker A: Not Greek, not Greek and coffee. [00:11:59] Speaker B: Big fat Greek and coffee. [00:12:00] Speaker A: Geek and coffee. It's late at night. [00:12:04] Speaker B: Yeah, we're losing that. Dude, we're doing this. [00:12:07] Speaker A: I looked the first week we were here. We walk over this little bridge to get there. It's like dry as a bone, Right. I'm looking there now. It's like a full on rushing river, like white water rapids. [00:12:21] Speaker B: I saw a guy on a kayak with a helmet the other day running down Hidalgo Street. [00:12:26] Speaker A: I mean, I'd be a little scared if you got caught in it, you'd be washed away. [00:12:30] Speaker B: I just think that would be the end of it. I think that's how it decreases the surplus population. [00:12:33] Speaker A: You definitely sucks them down. [00:12:35] Speaker B: Can we go on a slight tangent here? That I thought of. That wasn't on the list. [00:12:37] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:38] Speaker B: Okay. So anyway, we're adapting to the rain situation. I think it's just part of the culture that you're or this part of the year you have to deal with. It's just, it's to say it's level of inconvenience because we actually like rain. The kids love rain. But this is like, don't go outside, you get struck by lightning. Rain. Okay, so last time we talked about this, like maggot infestation and this whole situation with the trash. Right? [00:12:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:59] Speaker B: So since that happens. Okay, so I'm talking to you. So since it happened, you've been like freaking out about taking the trash out. [00:13:09] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:13:10] Speaker B: Every, like, you're like, I'm like taking. [00:13:12] Speaker A: Any dirty diaper and I'm like putting it in an airtight ziploc bag. [00:13:16] Speaker B: She's double bagging it and then she's taking it out to the trash. But that's what's interesting. Okay, so the dumpsters are about a block away. [00:13:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:25] Speaker B: And weirdly, I feel like we were dissuaded from doing this initially, right? Yes, it's hard to find. Which is not hard to find. It's literally right around the corner. [00:13:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:32] Speaker B: The part that threw you off though was like, every time we go to the trash, there are people in the. [00:13:39] Speaker A: In the dumpsters. Yes, in the dumpsters. [00:13:43] Speaker B: Okay, so let's go back. This is something about this where, like. [00:13:45] Speaker A: Do they work there? [00:13:47] Speaker B: I Was gonna ask you that. [00:13:48] Speaker C: I go, yeah. [00:13:49] Speaker B: What. What is. What is happening here? Is this private contracting? Is this working? Is this the city of San Miguel? What's happening here? Why are they in the trash and what are they doing? [00:13:58] Speaker A: So my understanding, the first time I saw it, there was definitely a guy, and he had a tool where he was using it to scrape through the dumpster. [00:14:07] Speaker B: Okay. [00:14:08] Speaker A: Like, a wooden. [00:14:08] Speaker B: That was a personal thing. [00:14:10] Speaker A: I thought it was. [00:14:11] Speaker B: They needed something. [00:14:12] Speaker A: I was thinking, like, they're going through the trash and they're collecting, you know, like, recyclables, and they're putting them together, and they're gonna take them somewhere and get cash for it. That's like. [00:14:24] Speaker B: That's what was in my back in the day, collecting cans and bottles, like the returnables in New York and Virginia, I used to get 5 cents a bottle or a can. Remember that? [00:14:31] Speaker A: Yes, yes. But we would today. I think maybe that they work there. [00:14:36] Speaker B: Okay. That was a team. They were, like, literally wrapping. Like, they had cardboard wrapped beautifully. They were separating cans. Okay, let me go backwards. There's no recycling here. [00:14:46] Speaker A: No. [00:14:46] Speaker B: At least not in our place and not in places I've seen, like, they don't give you a canister. They don't tell you how to do it. But the people we saw working, who were working their asses off and, like. [00:14:55] Speaker A: They'Re, like, in a dumpster, like, standing in their trash. [00:14:57] Speaker B: They're ripping open these bags that people put everything into, and they're separating all the recycling. [00:15:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:03] Speaker A: Which seems very inefficient if that's what's happening. If they, like, are working for San Miguel. [00:15:07] Speaker B: Yeah. And again, I'm not. This should be really careful. I'm not saying that there's a better system in the U.S. i'm not saying that. Right. [00:15:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Because there's lots of places we've been to that don't even recycle. [00:15:17] Speaker B: This is where I jump in and say, this is where Baltimore City's lied to people since 2013 when the county said that they are actually taking glass and recycling it. But they've just been lying to people. They've been throwing glass in the trash for 12 years now because they can't afford to recycle the glass. But you just go through the motions, and they make you think you're recycling, which is amazing. Or it's like North Carolina and some places where there's just no recycling at the beach. The township wouldn't pay for the transport for the recycling, which is not cool either. And my Point is, I'm just like, I'm not understanding what's happening because they were working their butts off on a Sunday separating things out of trash bags that people dumped in. You know, our trash bags, they're like covered in diapers. [00:15:56] Speaker C: They have food. [00:15:58] Speaker B: They're like pulling like cans out with baby shit. [00:16:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:03] Speaker B: Like, I happily bring. [00:16:05] Speaker A: Has separated things out. I actually thought about that the first time I saw them. I was like. I was like, maybe I should just separate things out so that when I bring it. [00:16:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:15] Speaker A: They don't have to go through our trash. [00:16:17] Speaker B: Let's just do that. Why don't we just split a bag and keep it separate and like, use the lighter bags? I just. Because I actually, I did that outside. [00:16:24] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:25] Speaker B: Again, the three listeners here, like, why. [00:16:27] Speaker A: The hell are we talking about. [00:16:28] Speaker B: I'm so glad you two could do a couple's brainstorming session on how you're going to recycle in a non recycled. Do you think we should talk about finances next and budgeting or maybe like being more efficient as parents? Like, what else could we do here? [00:16:43] Speaker A: That was the biggest. [00:16:45] Speaker B: God, I hope you caught that. Let's go on the intro. That'll be the show. Trips and Giggles. [00:16:54] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Yeah. [00:16:55] Speaker B: I'm just like wondering if this is turning into like a real journal article where we actually talk. [00:16:59] Speaker A: Listen, I don't. I also want to be like, cognizant that, you know, we are looking at this with. Through our cultural lens. [00:17:06] Speaker B: And, you know, but I said that too. I was like, I don't want to say this is better. It's like, these are just like our culture shock. I am, I am sure if anyone here came in to like where we lived, they would have so many what the f Moments. [00:17:18] Speaker C: Yes. [00:17:19] Speaker B: They'd be like, why do you do this? You know what I mean? [00:17:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:22] Speaker B: Like, I mean, clearly there's a lot here which is like people aren't driving. Like, they're using a public transportation system, which is very good. [00:17:30] Speaker C: Yes. [00:17:31] Speaker B: Constantly moving. Right. And then walking to markets everywhere. [00:17:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:35] Speaker B: There's a market on every corner. I know we're not talking about that today, but like, we can get into that a little bit later. Okay. [00:17:40] Speaker A: We're so, so I will say we. We were talking about the rain and then we went on the trash tangent. I just will say, like, we found out last about a week ago that we were sitting at this really cool little cafe that now we've been back to twice and ended up talking to this couple next to us who had Just moved here from New Jersey and they happened to mention to us that there was a pride parade. [00:18:15] Speaker C: Right. [00:18:17] Speaker B: I shot this place. Wasn't it like I should know the name of it? It's like Kefir, I think it is, or something like that. [00:18:21] Speaker A: Kefir Kiffer. [00:18:22] Speaker B: It's so good. [00:18:23] Speaker A: It's really good. [00:18:24] Speaker B: The service is incredible. Their cinnamon bun was out of control. Tomato soup and cheese filled croissant was killer. And I had a flat white today which was top 10. [00:18:33] Speaker A: I still think that my cappuccino at the other place is better. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Agreed. But the flat white was super. I have like three separate places now that I like different drinks at, so. [00:18:42] Speaker A: So we're like, awesome. We're gonna go to the Pride parade. [00:18:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:47] Speaker A: And we have friends here who we also mentioned it to and they wanted to go to. [00:18:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:53] Speaker A: And I will say the rain almost did us in. [00:18:57] Speaker B: Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's. This, that's a good end of this rain conversation. A good transition point. [00:19:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:01] Speaker B: So like we. Oh my God. So the plan here, right, was that you all were going to actually walk the parade route. Right. Go to Parque Parque Juarez and follow this route where they're doing the Pride Parade all the way into the center of town. [00:19:18] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:19:19] Speaker B: The square. [00:19:19] Speaker A: Which should have only probably taken maybe 10 to 15 minutes if you were walking normal speed, like parade speed. Like 30, 40 minutes. [00:19:29] Speaker B: I don't know, I was thinking like an hour. That was my thought process. So why did I get caught up? I can't. What happened? I came late. Was I working? [00:19:38] Speaker A: Probably. [00:19:39] Speaker B: Okay, I was working. So I came like half an hour late. But you were gonna do it. But you were like, hey, just meet us. [00:19:45] Speaker A: Well, we, we came late. We're. We left late. So we. I thought we weren't gonna make it for the parade to leave. And then our friends were like, hey, why don't we meet up along the parade route? We're gonna stop at this restaurant and then we're gonna like watch the parade go by and jump in if we want to. So I was like, okay, well, there's no way we're gonna make it to the parade by the time they leave Park Juarez. Because we, we know we weren't gonna do it, but actually we probably would have, you would admit easily. I mean, we were waiting for like two hours. [00:20:21] Speaker B: It was two hours. The parade didn't show up until about 6, 6:15. And it started at 4:00'. Clock. [00:20:26] Speaker A: Yes. [00:20:27] Speaker B: And so initially was. Okay. Right. Our friends had this really nice spot in the corner, they were inundated by bees while they were sitting there. Like, bees are not literally crawl into their beer glass. They turn it sideways to let the bee come out. [00:20:41] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:41] Speaker B: But as our daughter says, they're nice bees. [00:20:43] Speaker A: They are nice bees. [00:20:44] Speaker B: So it's okay. They are very nice. [00:20:45] Speaker C: Yeah, they have. [00:20:46] Speaker A: I have. There's been no stings that I've seen so far. [00:20:48] Speaker B: I think it's because the bees in the US Are just angry about the current. [00:20:51] Speaker A: Well, remember in Portugal, they said that the bees were like, they were aggressive. [00:20:54] Speaker B: Yeah. They had aggressive bees. Like, like, you know, those aggressive maggots. But really kind bees. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Kind bees. [00:21:00] Speaker B: You know what I mean? It's more loving. [00:21:01] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:21:02] Speaker A: Well, that's why there's so many flowers here. [00:21:04] Speaker B: Oh, that's a good point. [00:21:05] Speaker A: But what I heard was when we were waiting, there was somebody who came and they were soaking wet. Okay. Like just drenched. And somebody else on the side was like, were you part of the parade? And they said, yes. We got caught up. There was a flood in one of the streets and the whole parade got like washed out, essentially. [00:21:30] Speaker B: And then half the size, I don't know, I call it half prime. [00:21:33] Speaker A: I don't know what happened. But they said, because I only, you know, I was trying to listen in, I only heard part of the conversation. They said they got washed out and kind of like stopped for a while because they couldn't. There was like so much. [00:21:48] Speaker B: What does that mean, do you think, like in 20 years, people look back like, you remember that parade of 25 where we lost 50% of them? [00:21:55] Speaker A: Folks, just like people in Rainbow Alpha just rolling down the street. [00:22:01] Speaker B: We lost the G Biv and kept. [00:22:02] Speaker A: It all being washed away. [00:22:03] Speaker B: Rolling down the street. Their beautiful garb and shoes and golden, shimmering. You know how much glitter was lost in that situation? That's a lot of lost glitter. [00:22:11] Speaker A: You know what? There was a lot of people who stuck with it. So anyway, it was really fun once it finally arrived. [00:22:17] Speaker B: Yeah. So like, we should. We were waiting in the rain and like, of course, like our two year old was like, just. She loved it. She wanted to stay in the rain. [00:22:26] Speaker A: The whole time, stomping through every puddle. [00:22:28] Speaker B: Our oldest and our friend's oldest were like stomping through the puddles. [00:22:31] Speaker A: I mean, they all were dancing in the rain. [00:22:33] Speaker B: They were dancing. [00:22:34] Speaker A: They were soaked. [00:22:34] Speaker B: Yeah. She was so happy. [00:22:36] Speaker A: Yeah, she was dancing. [00:22:37] Speaker B: She was. They were taking leaves and like sending them down. Just like this gutters conversation. Like, they were having a great time. But yes. So it finally Shows up in like slow motion movement. I mean this is the slowest parade ever. The music was awesome. And I have to give it the people who were in that. So they were soaked. [00:22:53] Speaker C: Yes. [00:22:54] Speaker B: They've been out for two hours. But when we ran into them, it was like it had just started. The energy was off the charts. It was huge. And we just jumped in. We were dancing, dancing and taking videos and everyone around was singing and dancing and just happy. [00:23:13] Speaker C: Yes. [00:23:13] Speaker B: I mean I was like, why did we not do this whole thing? [00:23:16] Speaker A: And people were had these like fans and they were like making like sounds with the fans in like one big movement. [00:23:21] Speaker B: Yeah. So like it's like one of those, the spread out fans where it closes up and then it's like a single unit. And then if you flip it open, it makes this wide like semicircle. [00:23:30] Speaker C: Yes. [00:23:31] Speaker B: Rainbow. And then if you slap it, it closes. And they were in unison slapping these. [00:23:36] Speaker A: Giant fans together like in time to the music. It was so cool. [00:23:39] Speaker B: Awesome. I mean I hope we're doing a good job of describing what that's like. But then like everybody set up in front of this, the giant church in the square and like just rallied and talked and took pictures and apparently then partied. I mean we were hungry so we had to pull the plug for the. And like get food because it was 6:15 and you ever seen a 2 year old and an 8 year old who gets hangry? It's. Yeah, we had to go to that Mediterranean restaurant immediately. [00:24:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:09] Speaker B: But yeah, that was amazing. [00:24:10] Speaker A: It was fun. I'm really glad we caught it. [00:24:11] Speaker B: Super cool and such a great and awesome atmosphere. You know what else was cool? I mean like, you know, we talked about how we, you know, we. You're worried about the cultural. I didn't feel like there was going to be some anti group that was going to shoot at us. [00:24:24] Speaker A: True. [00:24:24] Speaker B: You know what I mean? [00:24:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't really worry about that. [00:24:27] Speaker B: I fear some pride parades because I fear that like, like angry hating religious, especially now or are going to come after people and come after us and our kids. And like that honestly stops me from the times you've said like, oh, let's go to Philadelphia, let's go to these different cities and do it. I'm like, I am straight up scared that some psychopath is going to show up in a pickup truck and drive through. Because I had zero fear of that happening here. [00:24:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:52] Speaker B: Even in a city which is like clearly super Catholic, they have like seven churches in a square mile. Very religious. It was also clearly incredibly Welcoming and a giant crowd. That was, that was awesome. I mean it was just such a cool. [00:25:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:07] Speaker B: Fun, joyous. [00:25:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:09] Speaker A: Juvenile space, even that. So in San Miguel, they have these giant puppets. I don't know how to describe them. They're like giant, like 10 foot paper mache puppets. Right? [00:25:20] Speaker B: Yeah. The people inside them, if they stand up, like their faces are in kind of a mesh, but it would be like that's their head height. So like 5, 7, 58 is like their crotch. And so then that entire being goes above. So I'd say 1112ft tall. [00:25:34] Speaker A: So these like giant, like handmade paper mache kind of beautiful. [00:25:39] Speaker B: There's pictures of them all over the place. So. [00:25:41] Speaker A: So they even had like Pride themed. Themed like paper mache, like these giant puppets kind of walking around the square even like hours before the parade came in, which was very cool. [00:25:55] Speaker B: So the rain didn't stop Pride? No, we're like, you know, a swell. A deluge is not going to stop it. Hard rain. Christian Slater. [00:26:03] Speaker A: Exactly. Not happening. [00:26:08] Speaker B: I like your podcast, but Damon's referencing aloof movies, the early 1990s, and I have no idea what the hell he's talking about. [00:26:15] Speaker A: Yeah, you better watch out. There's gum on your seat. [00:26:18] Speaker B: Gum, gum on your seat. That's a speed reference. 1994, in case you wondered. But we get to do that on this. I made a reference the other day to our friends and they had no. Oh, it was a Vanilla Ice. I did a lyric from Ice Ice Baby and they didn't know it. [00:26:33] Speaker A: They're like, they are younger than us. [00:26:34] Speaker B: I only know the Ice Ice Baby part. I go, this guy sold 15 million albums in 1991. If you weren't around, you didn't hear that song 800 times in that period of time. [00:26:44] Speaker A: I mean, they're a lot younger than. Well, our friend is 36 and her brother is younger. [00:26:51] Speaker B: I mean, it is nine years, right? So if you think about it, let's say like if she's 36 and he's younger, right? [00:26:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:56] Speaker B: And so if you. That song came out when they were two years old, they missed it. Yeah, it didn't exist for them. [00:27:01] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:27:02] Speaker B: Oh God, I'm getting old. Okay, Rain Pride, where are we? [00:27:08] Speaker A: Oh, La Gruta. [00:27:09] Speaker B: Let's go through La Gruta. So you're, you're, you're gonna take the lead on this? Because I didn't go to this soiree. Because I didn't. I thought having a two year old in an Uber was a bad deal. So basically, like we've said this before, right? We don't have a car here. [00:27:24] Speaker C: Yes. [00:27:25] Speaker B: A lot of stuff is on the outskirts. The only way to do it is to get an Uber. I feel super uncomfortable putting our 2 year old in an Uber. Right? [00:27:32] Speaker A: Yeah. Especially after what you described in one of the past episodes of like a Uber driver, like almost running a pedestrian over. [00:27:40] Speaker B: Can I take a quick side note here? [00:27:42] Speaker A: Okay, wait. Okay, top, top. Favorite thing you've seen somebody do on a motorbike today. I saw somebody doing their makeup. [00:27:54] Speaker B: Stop it. [00:27:55] Speaker A: You did not see that person doing their makeup while they were on a motorcycle. [00:28:00] Speaker B: I saw a guy riding with no hands with two people in the back. The one I saw today was fear mongering. It was a little girl who was three years old. She was laying underneath the handlebars and then the guy had his hands over top of it and somebody else was behind him. [00:28:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:16] Speaker B: And she was like three makeup. [00:28:18] Speaker A: Yes. This person was on the back, no hands. [00:28:22] Speaker B: Oh, God. [00:28:23] Speaker A: Doing her eye makeup. Like there's these. These roads have bumps. I mean, these are huge bumps. [00:28:30] Speaker B: They are undulating. There are huge bumps. There are a whole bump. [00:28:33] Speaker A: It's impressive, quite frankly. [00:28:34] Speaker B: I mean, I keep seeing people on motorbikes and the person in the back isn't holding on. They're just sitting on the seat like it's no big deal. [00:28:40] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:28:42] Speaker B: My God. Okay. But the one I was gonna say before we get to La Gruta was I'm walking with our youngest. I had her the whole day while they were at this thing. And I'm walking down these really narrow streets they have. So they're super narrow, but the buses still go down all the narrow streets. And when I say the clearance between the curb and the cars on the left hand side is 6 inches. I'm not shitting you. This is not an exaggeration. There is six inches between that. That point. Okay. So I look up at this bus and I have her strapped to me. This guy is two hand texting, driving down the road of the bus. I mean, he's holding it in front of his face, thumbs a flinging, texting away, not holding the handlebar. And so if you know a bus, like, are those ceiling wheels large enough so you can pull the whole, like stick the knee up in the air? Let me drive this along. [00:29:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I never. [00:29:30] Speaker B: So he's just driving down this narrow ass road texting his ass off. What in the are you doing? Like, there's culture level and there's just safety things that I just can't handle. [00:29:41] Speaker A: So all that being said, you don't feel comfortable having our child who's two years old with no car seat, riding in an Uber. [00:29:49] Speaker B: I can't. I can't. So I kept her home and Megan went with Cordy to La Gruta. What is La Gruta? [00:29:55] Speaker A: La Gruta is a spa and hot springs, which if you do not have two year old and you're not worried about being in an Uber, which I will say, I mean, I was even a little bit worried about like our own safety in one of the Ubers because we on the way back started going the wrong direction because there was a lot of construction and the driver realized he was going the wrong direction and did a U turn into the construction site, like past the cones, into the construction site, through cones, and then turned around. So, you know, I mean, I, you know, there's reason. And then, and then there's like vehicles. This is a two lane road, right? Like going. And there's, there's not extra room like on either way. There are people going both directions and then they have these big construction vehicles that are driving and they're driving like slower because they're construction vehicles, you know, like the big giant ones that are like. And so they're like half in the road, half like kind of in the construction site. And then you have like the Uber and other cars driving into the oncoming traffic to get around the vehicle. [00:31:15] Speaker B: So they're on the opposite lane and. [00:31:17] Speaker A: They'Re like swerving to make sure that you're not getting hit by oncoming traffic. So it was an adventure getting there. Anyway, it's a 15 minute to 20 minute Uber drive outside of San Diego to get back, I think because we hit traffic coming back because we like all. There's a lot. [00:31:37] Speaker B: So what, what is your. You want to break into like top things. Like what were your three favorite things about this and what would like the things like. [00:31:43] Speaker A: Okay, I'm just saying if you should definitely. It is definitely a cool place to go. [00:31:47] Speaker B: Okay. [00:31:48] Speaker A: Other than the fact that we got sunburned, which really sucked. But that was my own fault. [00:31:53] Speaker B: Yeah, but that's not really the resort's fault. That's really 100% on your shoulders for being irresponsible. [00:31:57] Speaker A: No, there is. Exactly. [00:32:01] Speaker B: Let's talk about the resort. [00:32:04] Speaker A: Number one. It's beautiful everywhere we go. This is an aside. I feel like the credit card machines are down. [00:32:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, it doesn't work. You know, many people I've seen at places holding up this little. How do I describe the handheld Ones we just see in Europe, there's always somebody and they grab your card and they get, like, a failed thing, and they're walking around with it in the air. Like they're holding up like a. Like a Statue of Liberty. Like an old cell phone trying to get service. Like, can I get my 3G single bar, please? [00:32:35] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:32:35] Speaker A: So anyway, so the credit card machine's down. Thank God I had money. Cash. So bring cash. 300 pesos per person just to get in. [00:32:45] Speaker B: Bucks. Just so you guys. [00:32:46] Speaker A: Yeah, you go in. It's beautiful. It's all landscaped. Lots of flowers, trees everywhere. And then there's like, six to eight different pools. A few of them weren't open when we were there. One of them is, like a giant, and they're all fed by hot springs. So one of them is, like, basically hot tub water. And so I was a little bit worried that it was going to be cold. Like, I thought there would be pools that would just be, like, cold pools. [00:33:16] Speaker B: It hasn't been real warm here. [00:33:17] Speaker A: No. [00:33:18] Speaker B: Say, like, the high it gets here is like 75. And while it feels warm, it's not. [00:33:21] Speaker A: Yes. So, but fortunately, every single one of the pools was, like, warm. So even the not hot pool was, like 93 degrees. [00:33:31] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:33:32] Speaker A: And so we get in the hot, hot one. It's like hot tub, but, like, full pool size. And the cool thing about it was, like, there was like a little cave, like a tunnel that you could walk. [00:33:43] Speaker B: Through, which a corrado. [00:33:45] Speaker A: And then you go walk through this giant tunnel, and then there's a giant, like, round, circular cave that is even hotter. So that must be where, like, the hot, hot water is coming from. [00:33:56] Speaker B: Is that where the couples go? [00:33:58] Speaker A: Well, there were. There were a few. [00:34:00] Speaker B: Did they chlorinate the water? Is this, like, Hugh Hefner's? [00:34:02] Speaker A: I don't think so, because it did not smell like chlorine. So I think it's just whatever the water is and where it's coming from. [00:34:08] Speaker B: What kind of waterborne diseases do you think you're going to get from this? [00:34:11] Speaker A: I don't know. I might have a few. [00:34:14] Speaker B: Like, I'm concerned just generally. Okay, so there's. So there's varying degrees of hotness. [00:34:21] Speaker A: Yes, I gotcha. But then outside of that, that one area, which is like the hottest, hottest water, everything else is kind of like a cooler but warm temperature. So it's like 93 degrees is like, like the cool pools. It was very. [00:34:36] Speaker B: Unless you're doing laughs. Right. [00:34:37] Speaker A: Nobody's doing laps. [00:34:38] Speaker B: No one's doing laughs this is like a lay around lazy river. [00:34:41] Speaker A: Totally. And then there's like lounge chairs everywhere. There's like little snack bars and like people bringing beers and stuff. You can just like hang out, drink. Drink your drinks and whatever. [00:34:54] Speaker B: Did you get something with an umbrella in it? [00:34:56] Speaker A: No. [00:34:56] Speaker B: It's disappointing. I mean, frozen daiquiri. [00:34:59] Speaker A: Listen, I. Yeah, I wasn't. I didn't get a ton. I just got a beer and then I ate the hot dog that our daughter wanted, but then didn't want because it had seeds on the bun. [00:35:08] Speaker B: So you're living the high life. Right. You had a. Probably a domestic beer and half a hot dog at a resort. [00:35:17] Speaker C: Yes. [00:35:17] Speaker B: In case anyone's wondering what it's like to be a parent. Like, that about sums up just like happy. And you have this opportunity to have like a nice drink, maybe some nice food. [00:35:24] Speaker A: Yeah, it did look like the food was good. [00:35:26] Speaker B: Chase a two year old and you ate half a hot dog and a beer. Yeah, I'm disappointed by her. Like, I'm straight up disappointed that you didn't like, at least indulge a little bit. Like, I'm not saying you need to drink nine drinks, but like have something nice. You're at a resort, you don't have to chase a two year old around. Yeah, it's really relaxing in a way. [00:35:42] Speaker A: You know, but when you get out of the. So here's the one thing. There was no towels there. [00:35:49] Speaker B: Sorry, people. You can't see the surprise on my face because, like, I haven't heard this whole story. [00:35:53] Speaker A: So I'm like, I forgot to tell. [00:35:54] Speaker B: You that eight pools and no towels. [00:35:56] Speaker A: I didn't. [00:35:57] Speaker B: This is some kind of hell. Well, you don't do that. That's not cool. [00:36:01] Speaker A: Didn't bring towels because I just assumed. I assumed there would be. I thought there would be towels. And our friends didn't bring towels either. [00:36:13] Speaker B: So what did you do? [00:36:14] Speaker A: We just dripped dry. [00:36:15] Speaker B: Oh, I know what really happened. Our oldest just took her wet body and rubbed it all over your dry clothes. That's what she did. [00:36:20] Speaker A: Well, I mean, she loves doing that. [00:36:22] Speaker B: Why would they not have towels? [00:36:23] Speaker A: They did not have towels. [00:36:24] Speaker B: Did other people have towels? Towels? [00:36:26] Speaker A: People brought their own towels. [00:36:27] Speaker C: If I. [00:36:28] Speaker A: So we. So I didn't really like getting out of the pool because it was cold. As Damon said, between 60 and 70 degrees in the air and 93 in the water. So you get out, it's freezing the first thing. [00:36:40] Speaker B: So you know me, right? I'm very like detail and like, I have anxiety with this Stuff. I would have noticed that the moment you got in and I would have left. I was straight up and like, I'm out. You guys have a great day. I'm not down for discomfort. I deal with discomfort all the time. I'm not going to choose. [00:36:56] Speaker A: A friend's brother went to go look, searching for. Because he actually speaks Spanish. And he went looking and to see, like, can we buy a towel? [00:37:04] Speaker B: Yeah. What did they say? [00:37:05] Speaker A: Like, there even is like a gift shop. [00:37:07] Speaker B: Great business proposition, Right. People are coming from the outside of this place. You could sell towels and kill it. [00:37:13] Speaker A: Right. There's a gift shop where you can buy a bathing suit, but they do not have towels. [00:37:18] Speaker B: So you can buy britches, but you cannot get yourself a towel. [00:37:22] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:37:23] Speaker A: But otherwise, anyway, what level of hell is this? [00:37:27] Speaker B: I just don't understand what they want people to do here. [00:37:30] Speaker A: I think they just want people to go and soak in the hot springs. Listen, it was beautiful. I would definitely go again. I would bring a towel next time. [00:37:41] Speaker B: I just, I can't. I'm. I'm flabbergasted. [00:37:44] Speaker A: All I did. Well, I fortunately. [00:37:46] Speaker B: This is a one star review. [00:37:48] Speaker A: I fortunately brought a second outfit. And so I just used one of my clothes to dry up. [00:37:57] Speaker B: I took off my old shorts and I rubbed them all over my body to get the drip droplets off of my wet self. Why? Remember when the highlight. [00:38:05] Speaker A: Our daughter did the same thing. [00:38:06] Speaker B: You did not work as hard as you did in life to dry your body off with your old clothes. You've worked too hard. You are in your 40s to take your old clothes. [00:38:18] Speaker A: Like, what is this problem solving? [00:38:19] Speaker B: This is sneaking to a watering hole in like 1992 in Alabama. [00:38:24] Speaker A: Problem solving, flexibility. [00:38:26] Speaker B: Were you way down, rolling with the punches in the chattanoochee? Like, what were you doing? [00:38:32] Speaker A: Oh, God, this is unbelievable. Also, I will say there's something here that was there as well. And we've seen around here get into the bathrooms. They are clean and they are large, but the toilet paper is on the outside of the bathroom. You have to get toilet paper before going into the stall. [00:38:51] Speaker B: City airport was the same way, right? Like, you have to look in the wall. You have to pull out your pupet lace. [00:38:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:56] Speaker B: And then you go into the stall. Otherwise you're in the stall. You sit down. [00:38:59] Speaker A: No toilet paper. [00:39:00] Speaker B: Did that happen? Did you sit down? [00:39:02] Speaker A: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. [00:39:03] Speaker B: So then at that point, do you just. Oh, did you drip into your new clothes? So you put on your nice clothes. You dripped into it and then you Went and got toilet paper. [00:39:11] Speaker A: No, no, no. That situation. Fortunately, our daughter, who likes to go to the bathroom a lot was with us, with me and went out and got toilet paper. So. [00:39:22] Speaker B: So you had. You had the rudder. [00:39:24] Speaker A: Yes, exactly. [00:39:25] Speaker B: Go get some toilet paper. [00:39:27] Speaker A: Go get some toilet paper. [00:39:28] Speaker B: No towels. No toilet. [00:39:30] Speaker A: No toilet paper. One star review. [00:39:32] Speaker B: Google reviews, no tells. [00:39:34] Speaker A: I give it 4.55 stars. [00:39:36] Speaker B: You could do four or five. [00:39:37] Speaker A: It was gorgeous. It was beautiful. The water was so nice. The water was. It was so pleasant. [00:39:44] Speaker C: I. [00:39:44] Speaker A: The last time. It's very little. There's very few times I enjoy a pool because it's always. The water is so cold. So this was very pleasant. [00:39:52] Speaker B: In a way, I understand this. Right? Like so you know, to have towels you have to have a laundry facility and a pretty like professional higher level one to be able to do that. Like resorts spend money on those. Those machines are like the ones laundry is like ten grand, like my understanding. So anyway, they probably the cost there is high. So for them, they don't care because we're still providing something that people don't have. [00:40:14] Speaker A: Right, right. [00:40:15] Speaker B: But me as the like bougie American is like, how dare you not provide towels. [00:40:22] Speaker A: We also did hear a lot of gunshots. What sounded like gunshots that I forgot about half the time stuff until I'm telling this story. [00:40:31] Speaker B: We're out of four or five random gunshots in the distance. [00:40:35] Speaker A: Well, first I was like, oh, they're shutting off fireworks. Because there's lots of fireworks going off around here. [00:40:40] Speaker B: Because it was falling in our dinner the other day. We'll talk about that later. [00:40:44] Speaker A: But then we're there like for a while and we start seeing like police show up that have like, like machine guns and they're just sort of like stationed around. And I was like, oh, you know, I've seen them around, like around San Miguel. [00:40:59] Speaker B: Police or was the Federales. [00:41:00] Speaker A: It says police. [00:41:01] Speaker B: Yeah, it'd be way cooler. It was the Federales. [00:41:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:04] Speaker A: And so then our friend was like, I'm not so sure that's fireworks. And then her brother was like, oh, they're probably just doing construction next door. They're like using like, you know, we know when they use like not bombs, but like the dynamite to like break up rock. [00:41:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:23] Speaker A: He's like, oh, that's what they're doing. And she's like, no, that's definitely not happening. [00:41:27] Speaker B: Dropping bombs in the quarries. [00:41:29] Speaker A: And then we like, pop, pop, pop. [00:41:30] Speaker C: Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. [00:41:33] Speaker B: Really? That's confused as construction. That's what it Sounds like. [00:41:37] Speaker A: And then she is like, I'm not so sure that's fireworks or dynamite. [00:41:42] Speaker B: So you guys went to a resort next to El Chapo's house? That's what you did? This is the worst vacation. [00:41:48] Speaker A: No, it was very nice. I would go again. [00:41:50] Speaker B: Oh, I. 4.5 stars. No towels, no toilet paper. A lot of gunshots, but super great. Two thumbs up. [00:41:59] Speaker A: Really nice pools. Very clean. [00:42:03] Speaker B: We gotta do one more here before you sign off. We're at the end here, but we have to sign off. Okay. So you told me at lunch today that a elderly man slipped. Can you tell me about this so we can end on this? [00:42:19] Speaker A: Yes. So some of the areas around the pool are quite slippery. I don't know if it's the material they used or what, but an older gentleman came. You want to tell the whole story? [00:42:33] Speaker B: Oh, I want. There's a specific part I want to get to that's very important. [00:42:37] Speaker A: So this man is walking, and all of a sudden I just hear whap. And I look. The guy had. His feet had slipped out from under him, and like. Like a piece of plywood just fell on. [00:42:51] Speaker B: Flat. [00:42:52] Speaker A: Flat. [00:42:52] Speaker B: Ouija board, seance. Horizontal. [00:42:54] Speaker A: Yes, horizontal. Back, legs, back, head hitting at the same time. [00:43:01] Speaker B: And did you see it or did you hear? Because it could have been that or the gunshots. Like, you have to determine the difference between the two. [00:43:08] Speaker A: I. I saw the tail end of it, and then I heard them. [00:43:11] Speaker B: Did he make a sound, the person? [00:43:13] Speaker A: It was like, oh. [00:43:18] Speaker B: I didn't hear you. One more on that. [00:43:23] Speaker A: Listen, he was an older gentleman. He was a little bit hefty. [00:43:26] Speaker C: Okay. [00:43:28] Speaker A: A lot of people sprinted over quickly to check on him. And I had this thought of, like, oh, maybe I should go help. But a lot of people had ran over. [00:43:36] Speaker B: I had this thought, I should go help. [00:43:39] Speaker A: Well, a lot of people ran over, and he was just laying there, like, just not moving. And so I turned to check on our daughter. I turned back again, and they already had the, like, EMTs there. [00:43:56] Speaker B: Like, okay, so there are EMTs at the pool, but no towels. The priorities are way off. [00:44:01] Speaker A: Well, I guess they just want to make sure people. Yes, there were. There were. [00:44:05] Speaker C: Yes. [00:44:06] Speaker B: Hypothermia. But, you know, if you land on your back, we got you covered. [00:44:09] Speaker A: Yes, the emergency services. There was a guy there checking on him, you know, giving him a little bit of a massage on his neck. On his neck. You know, he's like, this is an. [00:44:18] Speaker B: Emt, or is this like, who are we talking about here? [00:44:22] Speaker A: I think he's Trying to make sure he hadn't broken any bones, including his neck and his head. [00:44:27] Speaker B: Okay, so you EMTs, in the audience of three, do you massage someone's neck to make sure? [00:44:32] Speaker A: I mean, you know, I guess. I guess that's what you do. I mean, I think they. I couldn't hear really hear what they were saying, but he looked like he was making some motions to see, like, if he could follow his eyes, all this stuff. One of the gentlemen that ran over to help was a man who was, like, slightly overweight, which. No, you know, bodies are bodies in a very tiny Speedo. [00:44:59] Speaker B: This is Man Harry. I need a picture here. [00:45:02] Speaker A: He was mediocre, medium level Harry, medium hairy. But he had a giant wang. [00:45:11] Speaker B: How did you know he had a giant wang? [00:45:12] Speaker A: Listen, it was eye level. I was in the pool. [00:45:14] Speaker B: Okay, so you're in the pool. [00:45:16] Speaker A: I was in the pool and it was eye level, so, like, you can't miss it. And the way he was moving around, like, trying to, like, like dodge in and out to see if he could help. [00:45:26] Speaker B: So he was ducking and dodging. [00:45:27] Speaker A: He was, like, sort of moving around. I don't know how to describe. He was, like, moving side to side. He was, like, talking. He was, like, pointing at people, but he was just sort of, like, moving around. So everything was just sort of flopping. [00:45:39] Speaker B: Directing Floppy Donkey D. Just whacking around. [00:45:44] Speaker A: I'm not sure if he's just like a sideline character, if he knew this guy. [00:45:48] Speaker B: Yeah. Was he involved? Was he, like, running the hotel at this point? [00:45:52] Speaker A: I don't know. He was. [00:45:54] Speaker B: Get this man a towel. [00:45:55] Speaker A: Get this man a towel. I said, sir, you can go back in the water now. [00:46:02] Speaker B: So part of you were feeling potentially concerned for this guy landing, and the other part of you was like, there's just wang. [00:46:10] Speaker A: Yeah, it's just all out there. [00:46:11] Speaker B: Just a lot of wang. [00:46:12] Speaker A: Yeah, but. And you know, and this is not a situation where we're in, like, Sweden where people, you know, are nudist. Right. Like. Or it's, like, comfortable to be like, everybody's in, like. [00:46:24] Speaker B: I was gonna ask you that question. Did you? I mean, because we were in Europe, I see a lot of people in Speedos. I don't think it's Sweden. I think a lot of people I see in Europe that is normalized, common for males to wear Speedos. [00:46:35] Speaker A: That he was the only one. [00:46:36] Speaker B: He's the only guy. [00:46:37] Speaker C: Yes. [00:46:38] Speaker A: I mean, most people. For me, I don't remember. I don't remember. I just currently remember one part of that it just. It was just like, there. It was just there. [00:46:52] Speaker B: And listen, I want it to be a flag. Like, I wanted to be. [00:46:55] Speaker A: It was not a flag. It was not a flag anything. It wasn't. I don't remember. I didn't, like, stare at it that closely. I was just. It was just sort of a. Oh, okay, sir, like, I think. I think this man has enough help. You can. You can go back to wherever you came from. I shouldn't be judgmental. I just, like. Listen, wear what you want to wear. [00:47:18] Speaker C: You know what I mean? [00:47:19] Speaker A: Like, people wear teeny weeny bikinis and nobody's saying anything. [00:47:23] Speaker B: I mean, like, I think this. [00:47:24] Speaker A: This. [00:47:24] Speaker B: Yeah, this probably says more about you than it does about you. It absolutely says more about Wayne McDickinson. Like, it says more about you. [00:47:31] Speaker A: Listen, if he likes that, and that's the thing that he feels comfortable. [00:47:35] Speaker B: He was, like, directing a situation. He was like, okay, it's like there's a pendulum swinging in my face. Meanwhile, he's trying to save this guy's life. [00:47:44] Speaker A: Maybe that's what they were directing his eyes to. [00:47:46] Speaker B: Look at. Oh, my God. Okay, watch the wang. Left, right. How many wangs am I holding up? See, this guy's fucked. [00:48:00] Speaker A: Oh, my God. On that note, on that note, that's the end of this episode. [00:48:07] Speaker B: Tune in next time. Tune in next time for Trips and Giggles.
