Speaker 1:

Welcome to the Wish I Would've Known podcast.

Speaker 2:

I'm Clint and I'm Amber, and we've been married for almost 20 years.

Speaker 1:

And in this 20 years we've gained a lot of wisdom and found ourselves in the middle of some pretty crazy stories.

Speaker 2:

And now we want to share those things with you.

Speaker 1:

So here's some stuff that we wish we would've known.

Speaker 2:

Hey everybody, Welcome to Wish. I Would've Known. We are glad that you're here. This is season three.

Speaker 1:

Season three that's the one that comes after two, but going into the future, it's the one that comes before four.

Speaker 2:

Wow, thank you for that breakdown, because I was really confused where.

Speaker 1:

It's kind of like how you know how in a football game, there's like the commentary and there's like the color analyst. That's what that's you, I'm here to break it down for you Breaking it down.

Speaker 2:

I will say that in most TV shows that you watch, I do feel like season three is where things kind of hit their stride.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

The characters are fully developed and fun things happen.

Speaker 1:

I am fully developed, my character is, it knows its direction and I feel.

Speaker 2:

You know your lines. You have some catchphrases that you do.

Speaker 1:

It's going to be great. My main catchphrase is yup.

Speaker 2:

Yup, that's the one. No, we're excited to be here. If you're just joining us, we'd love, if you like, jump back and listen to maybe a couple episodes from one and two. We actually did a special Disney series this past summer.

Speaker 1:

It was so much fun and I've you know what, I've actually been here for every episode.

Speaker 2:

Oh me too.

Speaker 1:

That's amazing, that is amazing. Quite the streak.

Speaker 2:

Good for us. Quite the streak.

Speaker 1:

Let's keep that going. Let's keep it going. I'm excited that you're here and you're tuning in Little background about us. We said it in the intro Amber and I have been married for almost 20 years, Currently 19.

Speaker 2:

19 years.

Speaker 1:

And we've learned a lot of lessons over these 20 years. We have experienced a lot of really fun and sometimes crazy stories. And this is our opportunity to be able to bring these things to you guys. There's so many of you guys that are friends that literally around the world, that we don't get to have over for dinner, and so this is our dinner table. This is the hey Amber made spaghetti. Come and hang out and we're going to tell you some crazy stories and just talk about what's going on.

Speaker 2:

Hopefully you like spaghetti.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh yeah, gluten-free. Amber made some gluten-free spaghetti for you.

Speaker 2:

For you, just for you, and I promise it doesn't taste too much different than normal.

Speaker 1:

So, okay, we're going on the spaghetti tangent. Okay, we're going to stay here for a second. Okay, all right, amber has to make two pots of spaghetti every time. She makes it because Amber's gluten-free and she has to have gluten-free noodles, and the rest of us know that those are gross because we have taste buds.

Speaker 2:

They're honestly not that bad, but they're not.

Speaker 1:

They're not good, but they're not full on spaghetti. But the redeeming part of spaghetti night is there are gluten-free cheddar biscuits from.

Speaker 2:

Red Lobster. Red Lobster has made gluten-free cheddar biscuits.

Speaker 1:

I don't know what they sold to the devil to be able to gain the recipe of a gluten-free cheddar biscuit that is enjoyed by all.

Speaker 2:

Do we need to pray for Red Lobster right now as a?

Speaker 1:

company Maybe. So, guys, they've given it up. They've given it up to receive this recipe.

Speaker 2:

No, these things are bomb. They're so good.

Speaker 1:

They're so good.

Speaker 2:

They make spaghetti night so much better.

Speaker 1:

They're so good. Okay, all right, staying on the spaghetti tangent, all right, welcome to season three. It's the spaghetti tangent. The spaghetti tangent, that's it. So Aambronard Grocery Shop in the other night or other day at Target, and so we've married 19 years. We know each other so well, ins and outs and kind of like, know how to navigate things together and social situations and all the nonverbal communications and things. And so we're at Target, we're checking out, and there's an older couple that we had already seen walking around Target together and we were kind of like aw, because when we see I don't know what it is about Aambronard, though, but when she sees like an old man, like we're walking here today, she's just an old man driving a truck and she's goes aw. I'm like what is that? I mean? I guess I'm glad because I will one day be an old man.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, don't you want me to say aw instead of ew?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I guess. So Season 20. Season 20 of Wish. I Would have Known I'm the old man that you went aw, Anyway. So we're in Target, we see this couple and Aambronard goes aw and there's cute walking around.

Speaker 2:

I always think about like that will be you and I one day wandering around Target. Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1:

It will. Anyway, so fast forward. Aambronard, checking out, and we see them, the ladies at the door. The wife is at the door waiting. The husband is fooling with one of the carts, trying to put it back in the cart return. Yes, now he's been doing this for a solid 45 seconds at least. Now we're crossing over to a minute. He's still fooling with this thing, trying to get this cart back in the cart return. And finally she just goes really loud.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Leave it, Harold. We don't work here we were dying. Leave it, Harold. We don't work here. I was done.

Speaker 2:

Okay, and in that scenario, who would be the one trying to return the cart?

Speaker 1:

That's you, the right one, that's you and I'm the. Leave it, harold, we don't work here. We've put it right in the middle. You've created an opportunity for the American workforce and now has a job to do.

Speaker 2:

So anytime I'm trying to like, follow the rules or do something like that, from now on you're gonna yell at me Leave it, harold. Leave it Harold.

Speaker 1:

That's what I'm gonna say to you from now on Yep, yep. So 19 years. Amber and I celebrated 19 years over the summer, yep, and we wanted to go on. I don't know. You know you wanna go on a trip, a trip. You gotta do something where the kids don't go. Right.

Speaker 2:

You know? Yes, it's just what you do An anniversary trip as one does. Share it with the folks. We went to Puerto Varta, Mexico, oh.

Speaker 1:

I like how you said that Puerto Varta?

Speaker 2:

That's probably not right.

Speaker 1:

No, probably not.

Speaker 2:

That's the last time I'm doing that on this episode, but it was so cute.

Speaker 1:

I love when you like try to speak Spanish.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, while we were there, we really tried to brush up on our simple Spanish that we know. It was quite fun, but, yeah, we had the opportunity to go to Puerto Varta. Some good friends of ours actually have a beautiful home there on the cliff side over looking the bay. It was unreal and, yeah, they very generously offered us the home for the week. So we went for a whole week, just you and I.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was amazing and I took a guitar. I sat around on the beach and wrote country songs Most of the country songs about being in Mexico and not wanting to go back to my real life.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, very Zach Brown-esque.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they were very Zach, Very Jimmy Buffett RIP, yes, oh yeah, rip, rip, rip. Thank you, cheeseburger in paradise.

Speaker 1:

Well, we've never done like the tropical location either, like we've never fully done that you know, somebody asked me the question the other day Do you guys take trips or do you go on vacations? And so I was like okay, what's the difference? Oh, and he said a vacation is you go to a destination, you stay there and you do nothing, and a trip is you go and you have all these activities and you explore. So Amber and I were trippers.

Speaker 2:

We are trippers.

Speaker 1:

For sure, we take trips that's what we do but this was more along the lines of a vacation for us.

Speaker 2:

We were determined that we were going to go and actually just rest and do nothing. We don't do that very well, I don't know if you can relate to that, but just we don't do nothing well. So we were determined that that's what we're going to do.

Speaker 1:

We don't do nothing Well. I mean, yeah, that's technically that is correct English.

Speaker 2:

We hang on, we mean English good, that's good.

Speaker 1:

Can you say it in Spanish?

Speaker 2:

Me English good.

Speaker 1:

No, we don't do nothing well.

Speaker 2:

No, I cannot, no, anyway. So yeah, we were determined that we were going to do nothing. So we flew in to Puerto Varta and, honestly, the flight is not bad to get down there. It was pretty quick.

Speaker 1:

It was great, yeah, and it's really. It's one of those flights where, when you're coming in for the landing, it's beautiful. You're flying over the mountains in Mexico. It's just lush and green and beautiful Because Texas right now is very brown, no rain.

Speaker 2:

So, yes, all the green, all the lush, it was gorgeous. I will say the airport is a little bit overwhelming because you have lots of people in there trying to sign you up for all of the touristy things and also offering a shot of tequila.

Speaker 1:

That's true.

Speaker 2:

That's what happens when you fly in to Puerto Varta you get a shot of tequila.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, which we don't drink, so we didn't get one.

Speaker 2:

No gracias, we started.

Speaker 1:

No gracias, no gracias.

Speaker 2:

We had to say that so many times on this trip and we'll talk about that, but anyway. So yeah, they're trying to sign you up for all the touristy things, but again we're like, nope, we're just going to go and chill. So we got to the house, got to explore this massive, gorgeous house on the cliff side, and then there's the private beach club there that we took the golf cart to. I mean, it's just, it was unreal. Yeah, it was. We don't know how to handle that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we really don't. We really don't. While we were there, it was Amber's birthday and our anniversary, and so both of those we got to celebrate in Mexico, and the staff of the beach club that was there, they knew that it was Amber's birthday and knew that it was our anniversary, so they had, like the special cake and they sang happy birthday.

Speaker 1:

And like it was the sweetest thing ever and it was just the most incredible experience, like the time that we had to just immerse ourselves in being in this incredible environment together was awesome. Amber Amber's mentioned a couple of times that the house was on a cliff side. That's an, that's a note, that's that's worth recognizing, because not only are the views and the vistas the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, but also it's very high up, right off of the side of the cliff. So one day there is an incredible thunderstorm that we can see coming across the Bay of Banderas and it's coming in towards the house. There's this awesome rainbow back behind it and I'm standing up on the side of the on the balcony, overlooking the ocean and seeing this thing coming my way, and I'm like, obviously I got to take a picture.

Speaker 2:

I want to take like a a time, like a time lapse of the storm rolling in, and so I run back to the bedroom to throw on some shorts and things. We're going to go down to the beach to look at the rainbow.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and the plan was we're going to leave my phone there, we're going to time lapse and then we're going to go down to the beach and watch, you know, see the rainbow and everything. So I propped my phone up on the side of the balcony and a gust of wind comes and blows my phone over the side. And when I'm talking over the side we're like at least you know four or five stories at least, oh my God. And so I go back inside. I'm just I'm on vacation, so I'm just trying to be really chill. So I say, hey, babe, my phone fell over the side.

Speaker 2:

She's like and I thought I was kidding. Of course I thought he's kidding, cuz Clint does it all the time. So I was like no, you're joking.

Speaker 1:

I was like no.

Speaker 2:

No, it really didn't. I was like stop. I'm gonna do it. It took like a couple exchanges for me, actually.

Speaker 1:

then you finally, like I'm telling you, I'm telling you, my phone fell over the side, so I'm there's not a way, on the backside, on the cliff side of this house. There's not a way. There's not like stairs to get down. Mm-hmm, you're not supposed to go down there, correct? And so what ends up happening is I have to shimmy down like a column type thing on one side of the, the balcony and it had just poured down rain.

Speaker 1:

Yes, mind you, at the thunderstorm, everything's wet. I crawled down, like this Hill cliff thing, over the rocks through these briars, and I get all the way down Just to discover that my phone has fallen on the other side of a barbed wire fence. Yeah, I can't get it. No, I'm looking for a stick. I'm looking for something I can like. Try to grab it.

Speaker 2:

You were gonna go under the fence, but there's barbwire Under the fence there's just it's not happening.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so then I'm like okay, I gotta go climb back up without my phone. I climb all the way back up without my phone the whole time, ambrose, like I don't know, five stories up above me looking down. Are you okay? Like no.

Speaker 2:

Trying to help and I don't know how you help in that situation.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. I guess from above it looks like she's like just jump over onto that rock. I'm like.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, from my perspective it yeah.

Speaker 1:

I can't, it's too far. So I go back up without my phone and it's kind of like one of those like alright, do I do? I leave it like forever, I just get there, is this okay? So instead, what we do is we get on, get in the golf cart, we drive around to the Beach Club, which is, um, you know, a little ways away and to go down.

Speaker 2:

It like down and around the hill, and I mean down away.

Speaker 1:

So from the Beach Club to the cliffside that the home is on is probably about a solid I don't know half a mile or so hike, and it's not just like a high, a nice leisurely stroll along the beach, it's just rocks. Yeah, there's not a beach, there's no beach there. There's a beautiful beach at the Beach Club, but then after that it's just rocks. And so I'm like alright, I guess the only way I can do this is I gotta go over the rocks. Okay, again, thunderstorm, so wet rocks like me, deep water because of all the waves coming in with the thunderstorm, and it's, it's, it's getting dark, getting dark.

Speaker 1:

So I leave Amber at the Beach Club and she's like I don't want you to go do this. I was like this, the only way I may be able to get my phone. She's like well, how am I gonna be able to get in touch with you? And she goes well, I don't know, I guess, take my phone and I'll keep my Apple watch, yeah, so that once, if you get in trouble or something happens, you can call me on my Apple watch, which we thought would work, which obviously doesn't, because it's it shares the same signal.

Speaker 1:

Well, I just had no signal anyway. So I go through the waves on the rocks half a mile, get to where our house is located, crawl on my belly up to where the phone fell, right over top of this barbed wire fence, grab the phone, find it. I'm able to get it. Awesome part is it had been taking a time-lapse video that entire time. So the time-lapse video is like rainbow, rainbow, thunderstorm, clif, and then it's just staring at the canopy and it slowly starts to become darker and darker and darker Over time.

Speaker 1:

It just it captured the whole thing. And then finally it's you see me grab it which is just. It just filmed it the whole time.

Speaker 2:

I kind of wish it like would have filmed her face as it was falling down, but time-lapses so quick.

Speaker 1:

I know, I know it didn't quite capture it. Um yeah, that would have been great. But I got my phone and as soon as I I got there and I touched the button, it died. Mmm so I'm like oh, it's not Well. First of all, the fact that it survived. It felt that the back of my phone is completely shattered.

Speaker 2:

It is shattered. But like the main screen it still works Anyway.

Speaker 1:

So I use, like I said. I had Amber's phone. Amber had her Apple watch. I tried to make the call but obviously I can't call her. It didn't work. So I'm it's soaking wet, it's dark, in a jungle on the beach or like with the rocks, and the only person I can think to call was her son, Isaac. He's not called Isaac. I'm like, hey, the phone fell off a cliff and all it's like telling the whole thing. He's like wait what? And because I hadn't talked to him in like three days, because we're on vacation, Right, and I was like text mom's phone and tell her that I made it. He's like you what? Yeah, it's like super confused about what's happening.

Speaker 2:

So then he's calling me as you're walking up, so it all it's great. So got it back.

Speaker 1:

So spoiler alert guys. I made it, I made it, I made it back. The phone survived.

Speaker 2:

And what is the first thing that you said when you came back?

Speaker 1:

The very first thing I said I'm walking up to Amber, I'm, I got mud all over me head to toe, it's soaking, wet scratches and everything else from the cliff side. And the first thing I said to Amber is like it wouldn't be a Clinton neighbor vacation if we didn't have a podcast story when we got back.

Speaker 2:

So the first thing.

Speaker 1:

I thought about was you guys. I just wanted to tell you about the phone falling off a cliff in Mexico.

Speaker 2:

There's your podcast story there you go. So we, we did have a chance to lay around and relax in addition to that little escapade, but for my birthday and I think, just for our anniversary, we did want to do one adventurous thing in Mexico. Right, we wanted to go and do one, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So I mean Amber thirsty thing, I guess. Amber's always wanted to do horseback riding and there was a ranch that was out kind of close to where we were and they offered horseback riding, but not just horseback riding like horseback riding out on the beach.

Speaker 2:

Yes, so we go into the middle of the mountains is beautiful, you know ranch and there's the flags hanging everywhere. It was gorgeous and, yeah, we got, we got our horses and there was I mean it's like, this is like a legit ranch. Oh yeah, that was a cowboy.

Speaker 1:

Cowboys. We had a. We had a cowboy guy named Pedro.

Speaker 2:

Pedro.

Speaker 1:

Pedro, a cowboy guy, and Amber. What was your horse's name? Pepe? Pepe was your horse. Pepe, that horse. He was so cute.

Speaker 2:

So there was a four of us in the group was me and Clint, and then another couple and Clint's horse was the line leader and then mine was second and then the other two people were behind us and we were to stay in a line going through it. So we leave the ranch and you go on these trails and it's really incredible.

Speaker 1:

It was cool, you actually go through a little Mexican village.

Speaker 2:

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1:

Towns, so it's like cobblestone streets and like the flags over the street. It was the most beautiful, like awesome experience and like and like bushes and roses on the sides is really cool. And then you just turn off into the jungle, which eventually empties you back out into the beach, which is like the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 2:

It was incredible. We weren't supposed to take our phones but, spoiler alert, someone did bring their phone.

Speaker 1:

It was Amber. She is a, not a rule follower.

Speaker 2:

You know I did not bring my phone. You know, you guys know I put my phone in the locker. I like made sure the workers see me put my phone in the locker.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, I put my in my pocket and the reason is because they have somebody on ATV that kind of will follow you around at different spots and take pictures and they want to sell the pictures to you afterwards and it's like 200 bucks.

Speaker 2:

It was a lot of money.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sounds like hard pass. I'll take a couple of pics.

Speaker 2:

But you do have a really cool video of just a quick little us riding through the jungle on the horses it was such a neat experience and then riding out on the beach, but your horse was in no hurry to go.

Speaker 1:

You know what? Anywhere, my horse was on vacation. My horse was on vacation.

Speaker 2:

He really was.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, pepe, not feeling it.

Speaker 2:

Pepe was wanted to be the line leader. It was like being in a sports car that you kept revving up like to get past somebody. That's what I felt like the whole time, and I'm on this giant horse and I'm trying to like get him to settle down and, yeah, I kept saying, bueno, pepe, well, like you're doing good Relax.

Speaker 1:

He's probably like your Spanish is terrible. Yeah, yeah yeah, but.

Speaker 2:

and then we got out on the beach and that was incredible and Pepe wanted to be fully in the water. We were so deep in those waves and they were crashing over us and he was having a ball and your horse was like way up on the beach.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, my horse didn't even want to dip an ankle Like he wasn't feeling it. He wasn't feeling it.

Speaker 2:

But it was a great. That was a great experience. It was so fun.

Speaker 1:

It was really fun, like, I think, the wish I would have known for me. I went into Mexico into this trip Maybe, maybe a little bit tentative. I didn't know what to expect and it's you know, obviously there's all these different narratives and things like that but it Not only did I feel super safe the entire time, not only was the language barrier barrier not an issue, but, like the, the people that we met when we were there are the nicest people.

Speaker 2:

They were so kind. We had an Uber driver that we ended up using like throughout the whole week.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he was so nice the first day that he was just like hey, any, anytime you need, here's my direct number, I'm gonna come and drive around. And he was so kind and like Like we would listen to music together and like in the car and like just so much fun it was just great Billy Joel a bunch of times in the car I don't know why we kept hearing Billy Joel while we were Mexico, which I mean that's great though.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's like a top, a top five artists for me. But then the staff of the Beach Club in the house, they're just the sweetest people ever and we really legit had some of the best food that I've ever had.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my goodness, the food well, okay.

Speaker 1:

So when I say we had the best food, what I really mean is Amber had the best food, because what happened is, every time we would order something, I would order something, amber would order something, and hers would be better than mine every time I went. And then the next time I would order what she had mm-hmm the previous time which is so good, which was so good, and she'd order something else and hers wins again. Yeah, I don't know how she kept one up in me. I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, I did win.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we would sit down at the Beach Club and eat dinner every night. And I mean you're just, you're sitting on a beach eating this wonderful food. It's incredible. For our anniversary we got like dressed up I had this dress, and so we're down there eating and I had gotten some Mosquito bites like a couple of days before. Like mosquitoes, they flipping love me and they like never bother you.

Speaker 2:

No, you're they, you're sweet, they know what's up man, they love me, and so we're sitting there eating dinner for our anniversary, right, it's a nice dinner, that's nice dress on, and I am itching, like you would not believe, and I was thinking, okay, it's probably just you know, those mosquito bites ahead the night before, and so I'm like kind of, you know, shifting in my sheets shifting in your, in your sheet, shifting in your seat?

Speaker 1:

Say it in Spanish.

Speaker 2:

No, I'm like moving around. And then finally I was like, are you okay? And I was like, I don't know, I'm just so itchy and so I have this like long dress on, so we like lift up a little bit of the dress and there was a community of Mosquito y'all they were having.

Speaker 1:

They were having life group like it was. I'm talking like 15 at least mosquitoes, like, like they were there having a community group.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, it was a Confiest. I was the male, seriously it was.

Speaker 1:

It was nearly like Amber was like a couple mosquitoes away from, like them, cartoonishly picking her up and lifting her up and taking her away. I've never seen that many mosquitoes in one place, let alone on a person and also the dress is back.

Speaker 2:

Yes, she turns around the rest of them.

Speaker 1:

There's another neighborhood of mosquitoes on the back of her.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they were. They were chow. Now we were having a good dinner and they were having a good dinner. It was wild.

Speaker 1:

I think we counted like 15 or 20 on my back and then yeah at least I've never seen that many mosquitoes, ever there's a lot they were having like fiesta.

Speaker 2:

But Mexico's, it was beautiful, it was wonderful, we had such a great experience, we, we attempted. Okay, so again, we don't do nothing. Well, and so for another day we're like, hey, there's a little beach town We've heard about. Let's, let's take a car there and go there for the day Sayulita.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh yeah, sayulita is like a little like surfer village thing.

Speaker 2:

So we get our friend. What's name? Sergio?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Sergio, we call Sergio. We're like, hey, we're gonna go to sayulita. So he comes, picks us up and we're on the way there and to get there you kind of drive through the mountains. It's a really gorgeous drive, beautiful. So as we're driving, a thunderstorm comes up and it just starts to get pretty bad.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's pretty intense, like to the point where, like Sergio's like laughing because he's like this is, this is crazy. Yeah, I mean it was like shaking the car, yeah lightning was striking very close.

Speaker 2:

It was wild. We get to sayulita and the whole town is completely Flooded.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's like Atlantis, it's underwater. It was there, like shop owners that are standing up on their top step, like taking video of a river running through the street. It was nuts, it was wild, but I've heard sayulita is really cool and so I guess we'll have to go back. Yeah, so that we can actually go next time, because it was underwater.

Speaker 2:

It was definitely underwater.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's crazy. And then by the time we got back across I mean talking 30 minutes away. When we got back across to where our place was it wasn't raining at all.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we decided to go to the market in. What's that called?

Speaker 1:

Boussieres.

Speaker 2:

Boussieres, yeah, I think so probably butchering these. So we're like you know what, let's do the market experience, because we haven't done that yet. So we go to the market and you know we stand out because we're obviously not locals, and so we have people coming up to us and trying to, you know, sell you things. And I gosh, I struggle in that environment.

Speaker 1:

Amber. Okay, listen, amber struggles to say no. This is why we have four kids, all right, she has a hard time. She has a hard time saying no, so so when you put her in a situation in the market where there are these people were like do you want to see this blanket? Yeah, do you want to see another one? Yeah, do you like? She can't say no. And so I'm just like no grasses, no grasses, no grasses.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, right, and left Plants like pulled a stone, like bring them out, bring them out.

Speaker 1:

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh. Your little kid wants to sell me no grasses. No, like I got no time for it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and they're like putting bracelets on my wrist when I didn't ask for them to do that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you like, let them put it on you.

Speaker 2:

What are you supposed to do?

Speaker 1:

when it no grasses, no grasses. That's what you do.

Speaker 2:

There's a sweet man standing there and he's shown me these bracelets and I'm like no, I'm good, I did say no, and he just put one on my wrist.

Speaker 1:

The amount of markup that they're willing to do. It's insane. Okay, so let's just. I'm just going to give you round numbers. So let's say there's a bracelet. It's clearly like this little bronze cheap bracelet thing. Okay, it's price would be something equivalent to about 80 US bucks. That's what it has on it, yeah, so then he comes and puts it on it. He goes hey, for you 40. All right, we're already at half price, yeah, okay. So then you're like finally, I get you say no grasses. He's like come on, you know, it's most beautiful you've seen. And she's like no grasses. I finally get her to say no grasses. All right, you know what For you 25. Yeah, like no, you know, we really don't want it. And he's like why? You think there's a better one somewhere. He's like no, we just don't want it. Okay, okay, 10.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I mean, okay, we're talking from 80 bucks to 10 bucks and he's still making a profit at 10 bucks. So, like that's your wish, you would have known. Say no, grassy is enough, and you will get a substantial discount.

Speaker 2:

I want to support the people there. That was like it was just hard. That was hard for me.

Speaker 1:

It was not, it did not. I would buy all the things just to you know, in the in the market in Boussierras, we did see a Chihuahua with sunglasses.

Speaker 2:

We did see a little Chihuahua with sunglasses.

Speaker 1:

He was, he was remarkable.

Speaker 2:

Okay. So the wildest thing about that little Chihuahua with sunglasses was the guy at the booth was like you, like him, you want another one, you want one, you can take one. Have some of you can take home.

Speaker 1:

Yeah Hardest, no, grassiest, that Amber had the entire trip Cause they're like, hey, you want a little dog you can take with you. Like no, we're not taking another dog home.

Speaker 2:

They're not going to let you fly with a dog that you got in Mexico. If he's got sunglasses he's like undercover In the customs.

Speaker 1:

Is this? Did you get this dog in Mexico? No, this is my child. This is my child. He's undercover. This is Pepe.

Speaker 2:

But like you can't in customs, this is no animals. Very clearly you can't. I don't know, that was wild. So anyway, that's our Mexico trip. We had a great time. We hope that you took some great vacations over the summer as well, yeah.
