Speaker 1 (00:00):
We just realized that there was a technical issue, right Eric,
can you explain it better than me, because you're the
taching here so annoyed right now and I want to
talk um basically like we're working to at our damn
closet and the sound something was wrong with our mike
and the way the mike was say after the computer. Anyways,

(00:20):
every single one of Rosalind's ses and my s is
sound like they're gonna puce your tictic. So sorry, guys,
but it's a good episode and we and it's it's
so great and authentic and we don't want to have
to redo the whole thing again. I want the whole
not a freaking chance, so bear with it. Is just
forty fifty minutes and it's not gonna happen again. We

(00:41):
are going to perfect our closet sessions and if you
hate it, blame Rosalind for not wanting to do it again. Wow,
thank you, This is he said, a home with Eric
Winter and Rosalind Fantas, just like we are in when

(01:03):
we were supposed to be being right on until COVID
came along. I thine, we are inside a closet staring
at a picture of my wife with sunglasses and a
sun hats Hawaiian style. Wow, so we're gonna talk about travel,
the thing that we probably missed the most. Yeah, So

(01:25):
why did you decide to do a show about troubles
and crazy stuff that we go through when we travel? Well,
you know, just rewind it a bit. This weekend was
a very interesting week and it's actually good to see
you ros because this weekend I feel like I didn't
see you very much. I was working. Did you miss me?
I missed you. I did this really fun event called
home cond that was for our cast of the Rookie,

(01:47):
like a comic contacte experience where we had to meet
fans online via zoom. But what was awesome as well
is that every person that called in, every person was that,
he said, the old pod cast listener. And we got
to meet some of the people that have actually written
us questions. I got to talk to them, learn a
little bit, a little bit more about them while seeing

(02:09):
their faces, and I'll tell you what, nothing and it
made me smile ear to ear to see our listeners
live and talk about how much this podcast has cheered
them up. So thank you listeners. And in that process,
one of them said, what's your next podcast going to
be about? What's it going to be about? And the
other question for me was what are you going to do?
What's the first thing you're gonna do in this quarantine list?

(02:31):
And I said, travel travel. We're dying to travel. We
were supposed to be on vacation, like Rod said in Hawaii,
a surprise trip for our daughter Rosalind has never been
and like many other people, all plans got canceled. So
this podcast is dedicated to traveling. Yes, so travel experience
number one for the Winter Senses Fun. You got a

(02:54):
leader with that too. Are the way we travel is
a show? We we couldn't travel more differently I have.
I am teaching Eric about having a good experience like
a lawyer loves loves when I tell him. Listen, Bob,
I just I'm all about experiences. Eric wasn't very used

(03:15):
to like a first class good experience, and now you are.
Now you love it. Nonsense. Let me explain something. We
go on vacation. I have one piece of luggage that
she also crams half of her stuff into, thirteen blow
dryers and brushes and all these things. I feel like
go in there and I have a carry on. Our
kids just so easily put everything into one piece of

(03:37):
luggage as well, four bags, four bags just for her
a new outfit. I don't everything that. I don't repeat
outfits when I'm traveling because it's no experiences. But I'm
gonna travel. I want to look cute. I want to
have something different. I want to experience. I learned something
different every day. And yeah, I overpacked because I want

(03:58):
to hard. I'm glad you used the word over in
case of an emergency, I am covered. Red carpet is
going to appear. Who knows you know? She overpacked with
the key word. She packs so many things thinking she's
gonna wear something new every day and I do. You don't,
and a closet full of stuff that you don't even use. Sorry,

(04:21):
I got a phone call that was really well done
during our podcast. It's really well done. Smart to have
that phone anyways. That also happens on vacation constantly. Her
phone is on anyways, and I don't want to listen.
I don't want to be going back and forth about
how you think I overpack. I'm blah blah blah. I

(04:42):
don't want to get to our first she said, we
travel very very different. She freaks out on the plane.
As you won't know. We talked about it many times,
but one trip I just wanted to talk about that
I missed dearly and it was I mean, I've never
laughed hard during my life. We went to Spain. We
were in Europe for a friend's wedding. I need a

(05:03):
full disclosure because we've done so many podcasts and we
talked about so many things. If we have said some
of these stories before, we apologize, you're gonna have to
listen to them again because we don't remember if we have.
So here we go. But here's here's the one we
talked about doing. Maybe we talked about um so as
we said, I get down in dirty when I travel.
I like to get on local transportation, on the subways,

(05:25):
I'm in cabs, I'm walking, I'm in the thick of
wherever we are. Princess over here wants to be in
like driven around in the chauffeur, which screw so for
whole Okay, ladies, who doesn't it that you can't know
I'm a walker. I like to walk about sometimes. If

(05:45):
I go I'm going to a new country to get gelato.
You like to walk you likest. So we get out
of the hotel and map everything out. I have the books.
I like plot every single tour site like a tour guy.
He plans everything. We're gonna take a shower, this time,
we're gonna eat it. This time, we're gonna work out
all this time, we're gonna read it this. I have
a straight up. Gave me a break, straight up. So

(06:08):
we are. One of our first stops was this Picasso museum,
and I remember having all clocked out, and she would
not take the subway with me. I don't understand ways,
I'm freaking out of freaking out, I'll take a car.
So I take the subway. I get there, she takes
the car stuck in traffic. I ended up having to
go through half the museum by myself because she's lost

(06:28):
in a skin a car in Spain, and I said, well,
what were you doing that? You talked to the guy
and she's like, no, I mean, I mean you mean no.
You both speak Spanish, was what. It sounds so different
than when I'm talking Spanish. So we were talking and
he was talking to me, I was talking to him,

(06:49):
but we didn't We just stand a job. That day
was awful. Yes, we start our trip with one of
my first excursions. I do it all by myself. Basically,
I have to meet her outside of it, showing her
pictures of how great the museum was. Because she was
stuck in traffic, not speaking Spanish, Spanish speaking, I was fine, goodbye,
the same trip, same trip, no joke. So again I

(07:09):
went into this trip thinking I have a secret weapon.
She speaks Spanish. I'm gonna be in Spain. I had
been before without somebody who's book Spanish, so I did
never knew what would like to have somebody that books Spanish.
So we rent a car and we're gonna take a
drive to Siege. And we we get through this like
courtyard and there are these pillars blocking the courtyard where
the car is exiting to the street, and I see

(07:32):
them like Ross, I don't know how to get out
into the road, and she goes reverse. This is the
street that tolds the exit this way. Then three cars
start piling up behind us, honking their horns, and I
start to sweat profusely. And the middle of like a plaza,
I didn't feel like it was a place that that
cars could actually drive. And I'm like Ross, and just
cafe all over that. I'm people sitting down like enjoying

(07:55):
their coffee and we're in the middle of this plaza
with the pillars, and but like, I think this is wrong.
Everybody's staring at us. People are all gear honest. I'm like,
ros get out of the car, speak Spanish, asked somebody,
what do you say? Job was doing a panic and
she goes, hell, hell, we don't know what to do.
And I said I could have done that, I could

(08:15):
have sent help, help, don't have to do. You speak Spanish.
Imp So ultimately they wanted us to drive closer to
the pillars because they stop down anomatically and you can
drive through. That wasn't our smartest moment. I was very
surprised because you're actually very smart. So this is the
kind of stuff that happens to us. I mean, this
is ninety percent of the time. He got so mad

(08:35):
at you guys, and he's like, I kind of believe
that you were speaking in English. I'm going to dude,
take it easy, It's okay. Were what the dumbass? I
didn't know that you have to get you we're in Spain.
She's afraid to speak Spanish. Everybody. I wasn't afraid Winter,
I wasn't afraid. I speak It's my first language. I'm
a beautiful Spanish speaker. They speak weird, no weird, say

(08:58):
that they have their gut. They they've got a line
or what do they call it, which is very specific
and you know what I mean. It was hard and
I call me with a budda Riecan Spanish accent, which
is like, you know, we eat the words and we
speak very fast, even though I try to speak very
prete steep get carried on for no joke the entire
trip and even the next museum we went to there
was a massive line. I didn't know wheer my tickets.
I said, round, you got to go to asking or

(09:21):
a girl. So she walks up to the to the girl.
I'm waiting on the side talking. I don't want to
do the line. They were talking for fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes,
talking back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, backawarth.
I'm waiting, waiting, like what the hell. I guess we're
gonna get in, but maybe she's gonna make this happen.
We can cut the line and my tickets like somewhere else.
She comes back over to me. I go, okay, what happened?

(09:41):
What do we do? She goes, I have no idea.
I said, what were you talking about? Her? Fifteen minutes
she goes, I have no idea. I didn't understand anything.
She said, the same thing, the same thing up. But
that Seachon is its call the Seas, which is an
incredible town in Spain that I would love to retire
you over there because it's stunning, like we were lost
because we're driving, would have us. And then of course
he says, you know, ask this guy, now, where do

(10:03):
I go to end up in the main avenue? And
I went in and talking to the guy, and I
have no idea what he said, but I'm acting like
like a new And then of course I think it's
like Eric, I go back into carte web and I
don't know, you have to maybe they could ride and
then maybe they's like die. Like yeah, guys, guys, guys
are we're the only ones that go through this that

(10:24):
when you travel you have a lot of crazy, funny
situations because you guys are so different that it just
becomes like a sitcom. Think we're the only one. No,
you're too petrified of asking I think I'm fearless. Fearless, okay,
jump from that. Fearless Okay. Just this last summer, we

(10:44):
were in Puerto Rico visiting family again. I mean there's
always something that comes up when we travel, and there
was multiple things, but one in particular. We did this
incredible zipline experience, largest longest in the world, has the longest,
says they have to be the biggest at everything and
forced to buy when after us, now welay it down

(11:05):
and you go for like it's over a mile long,
but set it up properly, talking about it is an
incredible place and put a week. If you were tourism
and you got to put a week, I highly recommended.
And they have the luckast like I said it was,
but it's incredible. It's incredible, and they have like eight
or nine small zip lines. That's Sabella Funny enough, because
talking about fearless Sabella is like a like a drm devil.

(11:27):
She did them all and she couldn't do the big
one because she didn't have the height and weight requirement,
but she was dying to do it. Listen, she even
got stuck hanging yes twice. Sabella in the middle of
the supply coming down, crossing over massive ballet and with
her wings making that not with her weight. She got
stuck like fifteen feet from what had happened. The guy

(11:48):
had to go out there and like hand crawl with
his wire to grab her foot, and she she was
just laughing. She didn't care. She was dangling over a
canyon and had no fear. Guys, I will die. So
cut to we get to the big you know. So
I was like, I'm not gonna do any of them.
This is ridiculous. Like I'm a mother, I'm a responsible
human being. What if something, what if something happens to me?

(12:09):
This is responsible. But they convinced me, and we were
the owners of the place, and they were so lovely
and they were like incredible and and they're like, come
on ross. It's a it's a great experience. Everybody does it.
This is the most secure thing ever. We haven't had
any accidents in the seven or nine years. Please do it.
So I'm going to know what. So I'm gonna wait
for the for the big baboom one, which is the monster.

(12:29):
I think it's Conster. So you have to climb up
this tower. You have to walk and climb all the tower,
and the thing is that when you do it, you know,
like vertical, they make you look like a bird horizontal
and they have to strop you completely and you're like
a hangwriting kind of thing. Your feet are up and tied,
your arms tied, you like a bullet, and you're flying

(12:50):
through the sky. It's incredib So it's and then within
side by side Eric it's next to me, which doesn't
help because he stresses me out, stressing, so I am
getting ready. They hear me off, I'm unlocked whatever, But
then they have to wait because they get signals from
the other end of the tower. And granted, when you look,
you don't see where you're gonna land. It's a mile

(13:10):
and a half. So all you say is this incredible view.
And then the zip line, the line disappears, and I'm like,
oh my god, oh my god. So I'm in this
ego position about to wording no no, no no. I
was already in the eagle position, and we're waiting for
the queue for them to let to release me behind

(13:31):
the huge So I'm telling the guy, can we go?
Can we go? Can we go? Because I know I'm
gonna have a panic attack, and He's like, I'm waiting
for the signal, and the signal was not coming and
I lost my gaada and I was like, get laughing.
It was so embarrassing, sweating now again because I'm so

(13:54):
embarrassed that the whole situation. I'm just like, send me
off into this, into the sky so I can get away.
Thank you, so supported, thank you, I appreciate it was nuts.
So that was a failure. And then it SA barely
is laughing. I mean, my whole family is laughing at
me because everybody was waiting for the moment for me
to be brave. You know, I'll say all a lot

(14:15):
of times. She thinks she said, dare done. What happened
before in Puerto Rico as well, we were sitting in
a situation where we went to this it's called the Combat.
It's an amazing hiking trip into the mountains of Puerto
Rico and El Yunk and we're going through waterfalls and
in caves with bats and all kinds of stuff, right,
and Roselins is Roslin's idea, just like everything ends up

(14:37):
being her idea. And then we get there and it
turns into the show because she freaks out. So we
get in the water. I need you, I need you
to repeat that. So it was Roslyn's idea because I'm
the one with all the ideas, right that turned in
to be gastrous because she wouldn't do any days. So
we get there and we're getting the water, and when
our mom is doing this, Mom's are sixties, like we're
all I'm the fifties at this point. I don't know, sixty,

(14:59):
fifty whatever. We're all doing this thing. We all get
this amazingly waterfalls around us and refused us like a
big group. She refuses to go because she thinks there's
something in the water that's gonna kill her. So she's
standing on the outside. Maybe it was didnt want my
hands to get wet, I don't know, It's okay. Meanwhile,
she's standing on the side and the weirdest animal ever

(15:25):
of all the people that are there, of course the
freaking West but like comes to my arm like a
unique like unique mother freaking girl. Arm swells up, has
a big puncture hole in it. It looks infected. She
couldn't thinking her arm is gonna have gangreen to be
chopped off. The entire trip because we're now all we

(15:46):
hear for the rest of this high bekase her arm
is gonna fall off, and she's I'm like gus alegic
reaction's gonna close. It's she thinks it's closing. The entire
I thought I couldn't swallow. We show up at this restaurant.
House is not a restaurants, was a house with these
people that live back this canyon, and Rosalind feels like

(16:06):
her arm is officially going to be chopped off at
some point here by the end of this trip because
it has me something. Guys, Okay, let's talk about compassion,
because he doesn't think I'm compassionate. Not for one second
that you feel bad for me, like warried, like, oh
my god, my wife. I can see that her arm
is swollen, let me finish. I can see that she's
freaking out. I can see that her arm is numbed.

(16:27):
Not for one second that you stop and think, you
know what, we might have to just go back to
the capital. We might just have to just call it,
call it off. And and this is my then emergency.
I don't want my wife to die. You never saw that.
Of course, I thought that we had it. The instructors
there said it's fine, it's a typical wasp and the rainforest.
It's okay, just stune you. You're gonna be fine. He

(16:48):
checked it out and put some ointment on there and
we were fine. And you know, you were fine. You
just thought your arm was going to fall off. So
we showed up at this house and they cook us
all lunch and you have to set up that Oh my,
okay a great so part of this Acampapa, which is
a company in Puerto Rico that takes you to these

(17:08):
incredible places that I didn't even exist, even though I
grew up in Puerto Rico. Caves and caverns and the
most beautiful rivers and waterfalls. So it's like a one
day extravaganza. So part of the charm of this package,
right that that that you pay, that you do, is
that they take you to this little little tiny house
on top of a mountain of this couple that I
have a kid. At the time, he was made like

(17:29):
three years old. Now he's probably a teenager, and they
are fully vegan. They do a home cooked meal for you.
Everything that they serve and everything that they could they
grow at their finker, at their field um and it
was the most beautiful experience It was delicious, even though
I was freaking up because of my arm, but it
was beautiful to watch the simplicity of how some people

(17:51):
choose to live and being incredibly happy when I'm telling
you that they didn't have a TV. The kid didn't
know what Disney was. They don't have a TV. The
kid was going to be homeschool. They even do compose
that everything was great until use everything was great. I
mean we were embracing how beautiful to see. Look how
amazing they're vegan. This is incredible. I'm like, I agree,

(18:11):
this is it's amazing. This kid is This kid is
growing up without dealing with technology. Was like little Tarzan.
He was. He looked like the jungle was his playground. Yes. Meanwhile,
rosins like, I need to use the bathroom. She goes
over to a wooden outhouse where you just lift up
the lid and it's everybody's stuff is just there on
sawdust on the ground because it's true composting. I mean

(18:32):
like literally your waist goes into the ground. Go back
into this that was the enemy. But she couldn't use
the bathroom and refused to go and held it the
whole trip going back, and she died. Now her arms
falling off and her bladder is going to start getting
infection anyway. Yeah, that's what happened. But it was a

(18:52):
lovely trip and we want to do it again. We
want to bring the kids to do this because it
was magical. Let's take a break and we'll have more
stories for you shortly out how difficult it is for
us to travel as a couple. And we are back
reminiscing about life on the roads. You know what place

(19:20):
I really miss? I had a great time there, Columbia.
You really liked Columbia. That people. They treated me so well?
All right, How did they treat in Bulgata? It was
like anything I needed? It was great. Why explain, because
I'm going to be computer. Don't know what I have
to explain clearly, like Sali bating, So explaining no no

(19:42):
salamon food was amazing. Yes. No, we were there on
a trip. Rotherin was working. We had just um, just
at Sabella. So I went with her on this trip
while she was working and I was Mr MoMA savy
or a nanny had also come along and was there
to help. But I was um, you know, full bore.
I I like to be all hands on deck. So
I would take Sabella out of these amazing walks in

(20:04):
Bogata into the city and um, yeah, like every dutol
do yes. But I guess a lot, maybe quite a
few people. You know. It took me for like a
single dad. I don't know. Oh are you joking? Right?
I made a lot of friends like like, who no,
I mean, I just it was great. People treat me
really good. Why are you talking because you're being stupid?

(20:25):
I'm not. It was it was lovely. She was mad
because I ended up getting a little bit of attention
where I was in Colombia and people were looking at
I wasn't getting mad. This is that they would call
him me you guys, and I love Colombia. It was actually,
it's a beautiful country that we're gonna go back many times.
And it was blessed enough to stop talking. Stop talking

(20:45):
right now. I was very peo pleased to work. And
we were there for like four months, right and I
was working my eyes and Eric was just living the
life with Sabella. Mr Mom. Anyway, the thing with Colombia
is Columbia is notorious. And listen, I haven't troubled to
every country in the world. And I'm sure every country
has beautiful people, but to me, and this is truement.
Though I come from Puerto Rico, who that have beautiful women,

(21:08):
Colombia it's like not even normal. It's like it's like insane.
It's like all these girls are stunning. And you know what,
in Colombie is very normal to have surgeries and to
look the best you can. It's it's cultural, it's part
of who they are. So they're into all the surgeries
as the best. Yeah right, shut up. So they have
all the best treatments, the best spat, the best, the

(21:30):
best of everything. If you want to just do anything
to your body and if you believe in wellness and beauty,
you got to Columbia to take care of yourself. And
these girls are just beautiful and they're very friendly, and
they have this like flavor it. And I just had
a baby. I was fat, I'm breastfeeding and uncomfortable and
I'm working like and I was like, why am I here?

(21:50):
We want to bring away man and I'm working with
this green going to them, It's like, oh my god,
Eric is a beautiful man. So imagine this taking Kine
coming under Columbia. You know, Colombian women were very kind
to tell me, and I went to a restaurant day.

(22:11):
The food was amazing, the hospitality was wondering. Thank you, Abdy.
You look at as created a couple of little bit
great heartument, especially when I took it on the gym
where I worked out and she's not pass stem and
we're like like they're like expressimens. I was like, are

(22:31):
you joking? I listened. I think I'm quite cute, and
I felt like I'm awful. She should I thought it
was really guess past to go to the gym that
I go to like every day in columbiad and she
walks in and she goes, seriously, seriously, this is where
you come every day. No wonder the way we're going,
like what I'm working out? She goes, come on, you're joking. No,

(22:53):
it was great. They were nice to listen. I had
a blast in Columbia. It was beautiful. We want to go,
but we want to go to Carta. Hannah h James
like like also the Colombia. Listen, even the ogliest one
is beautiful. You can pick the ogliest Columbia woman and
she's still beautiful. It's really funny, but listen, God bless them.
I'm all about beauty. I'm a girl's girl. Give it's

(23:14):
all good in the hood. So that's a place we
will visit again as well. UM. Next on our traveling
UM reminiscent reminiscent trip of what life used to be like, UM,
I want to talk about and maybe we have touched
on this, I don't know either, but we talked about
how rosin snorkeles. It's one of the things I love

(23:36):
to do. I love the snorkele whenever we go somewhere
that allows that it has that kind of environment set up,
UM with green oceans and great reefs. And we were
fortunate enough to take a trip to eany one time.
And we we go there and we are out of
our hut and we're snarkling, and I got this great

(23:56):
underwater camera and I got a sauce set up so
that we can hit the ocean and explore. When I
didn't realize we had just started kind of going out.
I've been one of our first snorkeling trips outside of
Puerto Rico. What I didn't what I wasn't preferred prepared for,
was rosling. Snorkeling while basically getting a piggyback ride. So
she grabs out of my neck and mounts me essentially.

(24:17):
So I'm swimming for two people, and as I'm swimming
for two people, we come across this amazing fish. It's
amazing fish that's looking as like staring at us, and
we're underwater. I got the camera. I'm trying to get
close to him, closer to this camp, to this fish.
And as I get in, Miss calm and cool and
collecting adventurous starts to panic use her. She's yelling at

(24:41):
me underwater, freaking out, and this damn fish attacks me
thirty times. I get a bit it was time because
I'm protected by but animals know I have a connection
with animals. First of all, I know he was coming
for as because I've freaked out. We learned it was
a female protecting That's what they told. It was a

(25:03):
trigger fish. So that's suggar fish looked at us and
it was like it was on divided attention with malice
all over her eyes. And she came over and I
knew she was gonna time. That's why I freaked out
on a starry guy. They are going crazy inside the
water with you because I knew she was coming to attack.
The funny thing is that she came to attack, and
she only attacked because you provoked her with all your

(25:25):
are you talking about your arms? You're yelling and mind you,
I'm the one on the bottom of the piggybacks as
you're switting away, she's pushing me towards the fishes. Was funny, guys.
So that happened. And then the funny part of the
story is that, Okay, so the beach is there at
the resort, and then there's a restaurant that it has
a terra us and people are out our door, outdoors eating.

(25:46):
We created such a scandal that you think that there
was a great white shark coming from the restaurant. Clear
we came out screaming and running out of that beach,
and everybody at the restaurant came out and they employee
he's freaking out, thinking, oh my god, they and we're
turning this stone and everybody it was like about it
hit were like this big, it this big. It was

(26:08):
like six inches. But meanwhile I'm bleeding all over my legs,
like twenty bites. You see teeth marks all over my legs.
It was just awesome. That was a blast. That was
a blast. It's what happens every time we go on excursion.
It's like no joke, always denominator. Oh what are you

(26:28):
gonna say? Say, say what is the common? Well this guy,
I think, I think he's going to sleep. And and
like I said that, she did bail me out once.
There's one time we did work on our honeymoon. We
were in um Mexico, play the Hermit. And again I
had a whole itinerary lined up. We're doing this, We're

(26:49):
going to go to Coba. We're gonna you know, climbed
the pyramid. There were zip line and all these things
planned whole day, mapped out, rented it jeep. We're maybe
a mile away from the hotel and who who these
cops pull us over? And what the heck? I didn't
even do anything, what's happening? Sure enough they come over.
Then they exclaimed that we're speeding, which I don't think
it was. And Roslyn for the first time, well you've

(27:13):
done a meming before, but used your Spanish and bailed
me out. And we had to dribe these cops to
let me go. No they write, no, no, you know
a little so they pulled us over. The two of them,
one sis inside the Batua inside the car, the one
the other one comes to Eric to his window and
he starts talking. Eric doesn't understand I'm serious, and then

(27:35):
Eric says to say something and uh, and I know
that they were pulling us over for no reason because
we were not speeding, that we were perfectly legal. So
we give them the paperwork of the rental jeep. And
then the other one gets out of the car like
after five minutes and comes to my windows. So I'll
lower my window and I look at him and I said,
I don't understand. What's the problem. It's very confusing. What

(27:56):
did we do. We're tourists, you know, when we're from
the United States, and we hear no honeymoon, and he goes, well,
you know how, you can solve this very easily. And
I realized, oh my god, this freaking guys asking for money.
So I told Eric Lissen offered twenty bucks to each,
and that's what happened. We paid our way out of it.
And yeah, it was like out of a movie, right,
We're like, oh my god, this is what happens in movies.

(28:17):
But yeah, I said, you asked, because I said, just
give them twenty bucks each, and they took it gladly. Then,
you know, fast forward to the last time we were playing,
and you did not say at all. You basically jump
ship on me. We there's the craziest experience and this
is all my fault and we'll take the hit on
this completely. But this one had no regard for me.

(28:39):
It was all about she was tired, she wanted to
get to the hotel. Eric figured out, guys, we were Latino,
which is a bigger war show that I was a presenter,
and there was an event that same day, so we
were going to land and go straight to get ready
the event or your husband trapped in Mexico the event. Okay,
that's my point. I'm just saying, I'm kiddie, the one,
the one. There's two people. Uh, you're the Yolanda and

(29:03):
uh and we are Levy who have to thank for
this for same and Christian Christian Meyer who saved my ass.
So essentially what happened was we're flying again. I'm super
type of I very rarely make these kind of mistakes
when we're traveling and I gear up everything, we're packed.
It's like a two day trip. I have all the
clothes on and wear for every event in the garment bag.

(29:23):
Of course, I'm rushing Roylan because we're gonna be lad
to go to the airport, and like, let's go, let's go.
We gotta get any theme. We gotta get the car.
I get her in the car. We drive to the
airport in you know, in front, in a hurry. As
we were to go to check in, and I realized,
I don't know my garment bag. My garment bag has
every outfit that I'm supposed to wear for the three
events or four events we have learned the back to

(29:44):
back to back to back. I have nothing but a
para swim trunks and toyle the trees. And there's no
time to buy anything. So we call my mom, who's
a savior as always. Gwen my mom. I call her.
There's enough time with rush hour traffic. She goes to
my house. It takes her almost two hours after dropping
our daughter if at school, gets the luggage that the

(30:05):
garment bag meets me out in front of check in
at l X, I run in, I give our garment bag.
I spread through security. I make it onto the plane
and I have my bag I'm in a panic. I'm exhausted.
I'm being so stressed down. Rosin is already sitting down
having a drink, drink whatever. She's loving life. I'm stressing

(30:30):
out and sweating. We land, she starts to have a
panic attack, throws me out of my my rhythm of
I don't know what to do. I don't know what
to do. I'm not sure what happens next. She's freaking out.
We're trying to land. I'm just trying to make sure
she's okay. I'm trying to rush her off the plane
so she doesn't have a meltdown in front of everybody,
and I basically get her off the plane. And as
I get her off the plane, we go all the

(30:52):
way through checking out a yeah, we did everything, get
our luggage. We go to the van they've taken us
to the hotel with all but group of people meeting us,
and we realize I have left my garment bag on
the plane. In very all like Eric, because he's very
much but at that time, because I was taking care
of you, thank you, she was av a panic attack.

(31:13):
I was concerned about her, not my luggage. I forgot
the freaking luggage. So to the point, I again panic.
She's on the truck on the van, ready to go
to the hotel. She's like, I need to take a shower.
Can you just take a cab? Being back to the hotel,
like we're in Mexico, I don't I don't speak Spanish,
I don't know where to go with. You should find
this will help you. Be walking back in there, the
plane has taken off. My garment bag is now on

(31:34):
its way back to Los Angeles. After all that, I
have nothing. A friend of hers who sees me, takes
me under her wing helps me get to the hotel.
Thank you, Christian. Christian, he helped me in the beginning.
Janus is an amazing Mexican casting director that that works
at Amazon. That it's like family to us. She took
care of me, maybe comfortable. I was like, I would

(31:57):
have meltdown. I get to the hotel again, I have nothing.
I have to start figuring out what I'm gonna wear,
what I'm gonna buy for the events. Joe was helping
Joe out of nowhere. Joe gets in contact with William Levy,
who ends up being my savior. And I've never met
William before until this, and he says, come to my room, man.
I always travel with a bunch of extra suits. If

(32:18):
one of them fits you, you you can use it. I
go in there. His suit fits me like a glove.
You couldn't even ask for it to be tailored better.
And I used William Levy suit for the event to
bail myself out through the whole weekend, and he looked amazing.
It was insane. So everything worked up, Eric, everything worked
out for every reason it was. It was the whole
thing unfolded the way it was supposed. And how concerned

(32:39):
were you for me during all that I was. I
was on I was on the phone. I was on
the ORLANDA. I was dealing with Kristen trying to help you.
I'm on the phone with Joe. What you just saying, Joe,
we have a problem and it has no clue americ
conditioned hotel room while you'd your feet up in the
bath room, of course, of course, but that doesn't mean
that I'm not helping. My God, that's like a break

(33:05):
and we are back. I truly hope you guys are
laughing with all these crazy stories, because the reality is
they sound like they're fake, and they were exaggerating but
it's it's actually all true. And I keep saying I
want to go back on vacation, but now I'm not sure. No,
let's saying that I know the stress, but you know,
it's crazy all this. Besides, I think I think all

(33:26):
this stuff that we have been telling you guys about
this was pre children, right, Well, it's just on exponentially
just Columbia, just just Columbia was Wasabella, That's it, and
she was a nobren. So it's gonna be funny to
do a podcast one day about traveling with children. We've
done it with the dogs and the kids, and it's

(33:47):
it's always it's always chaos. Never I don't know if
I want to travel. No, you are. We're having to travel.
It's awesome. You know what. Don't be a dream popper?
Why is it just you know what, don't be a
dream popper. Don't be a no person? You know what?
I want to talk about this before we continue. We're
troubling the stories. Have you ever met a no person?
I don't have a couple in my life. Some of

(34:08):
my representatives and I have a couple of friends that
there no people. Everything is no before it is in Yes,
you've becoming a no person. Everything everything is a problem.
Everything is like everyone want to do this, No, you
can do it? What do we know? And that he
gives you ten reasons that are so ridiculous, and I said, dude,
just don't don't stress about everything. Elex, Oh my god.

(34:29):
But compared to you, I'm pretty easy. Just relax. If
Savy's a little late for some zoom whatever for her homework,
it's okay school, Oh my god, because I'm actually relaxed.
Rather than just make friends and everything you should work

(34:50):
around rather man, know this. This is for me, and
I know a lot of ladies. Maybe they would disagree. Um,
don't be a no person, be me, think about it,
or be a yes person. You don't have to be
Everything is unknown because you try to find complications about
absolutely here's okay. Here's my rom. I simply saying, ros
talk to me about what we're talking about doing before

(35:12):
we molved the kids, so that when they hear it,
if it doesn't work out, scheduling wise, we don't get them.
But why well, because it's not it works out, So
I don't just have a schedule. I sometimes better tell
and let's get your bought it from the it's okay,
you know that you're the one home schooling. Anyways, next
story that was another parentheses, don't be a no person

(35:34):
dream even even even your daughter did a whole whole
thing that you wrote. And what was that dream? Pop? Right,
I was hiding on the wall. That was no. No.
The poet that she did a freaking random point because
this one here likes lizards and chameleons and whatever like reptiles.

(35:57):
So she had an assignment for school to do a
point him about whatever she wanted. So she get a
whole guilt trip to meet poem about how I say
no to all the animals? As she was, was you
in Sabella's poem? I'm not about it. I'm not gonna
have a chameleon rated reptile freaking we are to us

(36:17):
a snake. Guy's a snake. I'm going out of the
snake of my house. No, that's totally off top. This
is what happens in our house. We had this conversation
just the other day. Okay, we're home. We have some
dear friends that are fostering a whole litter of dogs
and the foster all the time, and it is incredible
fostering is amazing. I wish every has gone how many

(36:40):
times Foster, He's amazing, amazing, Maybe see how many exactly
right now, it's amazing. Exactly your kid saying you can
we have we have We don't have the sort of
set up right now. We have two dogs, have two
kids two years old. We don't have to take on
them foster more. No person, no us on drain popper right, okay,

(37:01):
Rather than the kind of person who says, Sabella has
a puzzle out of the table, put the puzzle pieces
all over the place. It looks like a mess. But
I'm okay to having a litter of dogs running around
gladly and having crates everywhere and having dog beds, but
not having excuse me, I would I would have a faster,
a literal poppies and have it all over the place.
I will find a routine and and and a place

(37:21):
for them and love them daily and be amazing and
find them homes. You're I'm not a person okay with
But how can you be okay with that? But not
okay with puzzle? Their dogs and their beans and they
have souls and then the serve a life a possible
a freaking piece of outlet for your daughter if she
wants to go before we're doing together as a fan. Okay,

(37:43):
that's beautiful. Do it and put it away. Okay, oh
my god, that you do it and you put it away. Anyway,
you are talking talking about this thing. The one that
is a master of five hundred thousand, two thousand, a
trillion pieces is when the famous winter you can do
a puzzle. We don't. We're not good enough to do
that soon. As as soon as we can leave puzzles

(38:04):
all over the house, that's what we're Okay. Back to traveling.
That was like a great argument release. That was like
a therapy session in the middle of our traveling podcast.
Sorry everybody, Oh my god, I was completely unexpected. I
feel like it's got like a thirty minute quick and

(38:27):
it was what happening. Panic. Back to traveling, that was unreal.
Um So talking about Panama. We we took a trip
one new this was hilarious. We because we're trapping a
closet with late sweating. I'm going through on our wall
with her glass. I think I'm going he's been complaining

(38:50):
about her abdomen and swing my lower bag is killing me.
My indo maturious this is acting up and I'm sweating.
She said, I have an infection for just no reason.
She just has an infection for nervous because we had zex.
What does that mean? But that's the most disgusting thing
I've ever heard in my life. Oh my god. Anyways,

(39:12):
travel back to travel again. This is random. Um. So
we go to Panama one year. We get some friends
together and we're like, we have friends that we met
that lived there, and we're like, this is gonna be
the most off the chain New Year's Eve. We're gonna
all go to Panama, which is one of my favorite
countries in the world. I always tell Eric, if I
don't live in Puerto Rico, I could easily live into

(39:36):
in two places in the world besides Puerto Ricos, Angeles,
Panama and Brascelona. Panama reminds me so much of my
homeland is beautiful. So we we are being told about
this place that we're gonna stay at, this hotel is
gonna be all white New Year's Eve party. In our minds,
it's like it's gonna be a p didty party with
like all white and we're gonna it's gonna be off
the chain, right, We have our friends all hyped up.

(39:58):
We get there, we meet our our friends lived there,
we have a great night out like a little bit
of gambly, a little bit drinking, a great dinner, and
then we get on a yacht. I'm like, oh my god,
this is this is curious. We get this amazing boat
ride to an island where we're gonna stay at this
all inclusive hotel that weeky period all about. And we
get there and as soon as we show up at

(40:19):
the lobby, you can see Roslin already looking trying to
plan her escape, like I mean, not even joking. Within
five minutes of approaching the lobby to check in, I
see the wheels turning. I see her having a mental
breakdown going before we even get to the room. I
can't stay here. This is not my cup of tea.
I'm short circuiting. It was that evident, right So I Meanwhile,

(40:41):
I looked at my buddy Colton, about every buddy wenty
and I'm trying to talk to them, and I can
see this is happening, and we all right, guys, le's there.
We just go to our rooms and let's just we'll
get set up and figure out what we're gonna do
from here. I was sweet Adams spinal room was upstairs
on a spiral staircase, and I go I was supposed
to a freaking bring a four a huge as luggagness.

(41:03):
She has all this luggage and we told you she
travels with way too much. Right, we get to this
this sweet and it's but and again there's this super tight, narrow,
spiral curacters staircase that takes you from the living room
to your bedroom. I'm lugging four massive bags up this
spiral staircase to set us up. I grabbed the phone
that's like an old school phone with like you know,

(41:23):
the cord like a super old school find and grabbing
at yanks off the wall, flies across the room. It's
that bad. I call my friends in the other room
and they're dying and having a similar sort of experience. Right,
probably we gotta tough this out like our friends set
up for us. And what's side is that the property
was gorgeous. It's actually a beautiful place. It's one of
those all inclusive Well that why there is a problem
when it's all inclusive. But it's an all inclusive and

(41:47):
I feel bad. I don't want to come across up.
We're being just awful people because I'm sure of humanity
inclusive and find it amazing because it's it's the property
was gorgeous. It was just not what well, we were
all going to be kind of fine sucking up, but
we all decided to rally and meet for dinner. So
we all go to dinner to try and talk this

(42:08):
through about what we're gonna do because we're supposed to
be here for a week. So this is night one
and we're at this like Mexican restaurant on the property
and it starts out with us all starting an event
and talk about the situation, and my buddy takes a
bite and his breedo and almost broke his steth because
it was like a rock inside it, like a bean
that never almost broke his tooth. So at that moment,

(42:30):
that was the breaking point for Rosalind. So Rosin is like,
how do we escape? The nice hotel is down the road.
We need to get to the nice hotel. Let's go
scope it out and see if they have rooms. So
we all go to the lobby. There's no taxi available.
There was like nowhere you couldn't get a cab. Finally,
a guy. We didn't know if it was a cab,
but like it was like, hey, I'll give you a

(42:53):
ride to that hotel. So desperate, we all climbed into
this random person's car. We get shipped over to the
Southern Hotel, which it's literally we walked into Paradise at
that point, gorgeous, like an amazing and you know we're
racially profiled because we came out of this car, all
of us, it was like eight of us, out of
this little tip station on that little picture and we

(43:13):
walking and immediately the doormat whatever you call it, when
they looked at I was like, where would getting You
shouldn't be here, and they treated us so bad, and
I was like, dude, they know it was amazing. So
we had to go back to the to the we
have to stay the night. I would tell that one night.
So we go back to our all inclusive and we're
there and Rosalind, we don't know how to tell our

(43:34):
friends that we can't stay at this property that they
set us up with. So Rosalind creates an entire story.
It was it was, it was, It was true. I
just augmented the whole thing, but it was true, and
we're going through going through health issues for a bit,
but he wasn't at the current moment going through any
health issues. He had been battling kind of an ongoing
health issue, so she turned it into it was immediate,

(43:55):
like now we potentially may have to check out and
go home. We don't know what we have to do.
We have to get more details. I don't know how
that landed us at the nicer hotel, still staying for
a week. So I'm sure her friends called our friends
called bullshit on that because it makes no sense that
one night we needed to get a plane home in

(44:16):
an emergency to tend to her dog, and the next
minute we're sitting cocktails on the beach at a nice hotel.
I don't know how that happened, but probably do you
guys thank me, like because it was beautiful and the experience,
like I've been talking to the beginning of the podcast,
the experience shifted completely. Eventually the embarrassment were off that

(44:36):
we're at this other hotel, but the experience did end
up becoming very nice. And from that we had with
the family that settles up, they were they were a
great family to this day, they're grod friends about which
hopefully they will listen to this podcast. They're not gonna
be friends after this. Love incredible. It just ended up. Yeah,

(44:56):
so we go, we go back to that hotel that
I have an amazing time with the family for a wedding,
a beautiful wedding, and then we hit our New Year's party.
And the New Year's party was not Pendi's party. It
was just a big family party, wasn't We didn't have
kids at the time, We had no kids. We were
in all white, no one else is. We were at

(45:20):
another party and the party was totally different, so we
were so we stood out like sort of thumbs in
this like Christine all white and like Eric's friends that
came with us, um that we lived up to them.
We had to were gonna go to Panama. It's gonna single.
The majority of was we had a partner, but the

(45:40):
ones that were single, they thought they were going to
get like we put the up in a minute. Asked
at that party and it was all family and little
kids playing around. It was his stoical. So then we
came up with another live how we had to get
back to our hotel where there was another party going on.
We ended up celebrating New Year's the Southern party that
was off the chair. Are we terrible people? I mean,

(46:02):
this story sounds really bad, but again, what was the
common denopy wow Er Winter not me, I would have
wrote it out even we have one more, one more,
we have one more story. I mean we have we
can probably go on and on and on about stories.
I mean she again, I mean there's I don't know.

(46:24):
We talked about Mammoth when we took. I took she
wanted a little baby room that's close to this jewel
that is about to come out of his mouth. I
thought it was a great idea. We love Mammoth special
plates in our heart. When when we first started dating,
she was pregnant with Dylan, I was dying pant I
was dying to take my daughter fishing, and I said,

(46:45):
let's go take a beautiful trip up to Mammoth. And
she was into it for a moment until I had
her out pregnant on a boat in the middle of
a beautiful lake where we caught like thirty fish, which
was insane. I am nausea's I am I want to
throw up. It's stinky. But you know what I'm want
to tell you something. Sabella had a blast, which was

(47:06):
wonderful to see. I have even posted pictures of that
tree when we're catching the fish and we go crazy
and and it was very funny. But yeah, like you know,
when you're like, what seven months pregnant, you don't want
to drive five hours to Madmouth and you want to
just go to a spa and just have a different experience.
And he took me fishing at this random place. But
at the end of the day, I do have to

(47:27):
say it was a very memorable, incredible trick just because
seeing Sabella's happiness. She had the best moment. It was
the slight mist step on my part. But all right,
hotel room feed up, you know, because she was pregnant,
and that was taken to the on horsebackground and hiking
because I was like, guys, so the baby moon became

(47:47):
a moon by herself most the time. Well, I wish
you have another baby, just you can take me to
a proper baby moon. That was a blooper. No, we
had a good time. We had a time. You have kids,
you gotta you gonna figure out what She loved it
and I laughed. I actually end up laughing. And I
would love for our listeners to share some of your
