Mexico

Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes, better known as Cantinflas, is considered the most accomplished Mexican comedian. He was instrumental to the golden era of Mexican film and even made waves in Hollywood. But he had one secret, an obsession with mermaids.

Cristina shares two short mermaid legends from Guerrero, Mexico and then shares the story of Cantinflas' alleged obsession with mermaids. First, Carmen reads a listener story and then they end with spooky recommendations.

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:10.240
Hi, this is Christina and Mortsha just kidding at Carmen. Oh, sorry,

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.279
this is Gomez. Actually, actually she's gun Tim Flass. I'm

3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.320
supposed to be Comez. If you're on YouTube watching it,

4
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:21.480
and I'm for you to post pictures too, I will

5
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.239
post pictures. But we are doing We're trying to do

6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:29.679
every episode in October in a different costume. So this episode,

7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:31.839
I'm supposed to be Gomez. I do look more like

8
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:35.679
kantin Flas she does. Carmenis Mortitia, yes, and she's pulling

9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:41.640
it off me. I I'm giving country class and not comiss. Yeah,

10
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.960
which is fitting because today we're talking about Gantim Flass. Actually,

11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.520
so that's exciting. You haven't even said we're Spooky Tales

12
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:51.640
because I cut you off. I'm sorry. Oh whoops, I'm

13
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.560
so sorry. Spooky Tells the podcast for all things as Spooky,

14
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:58.600
And yeah, today we're talking about kantin Flas and Mermaids.

15
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.600
Someone request said it a little bit ago and we

16
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.679
met to do it sooner, but things just kept coming up,

17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.120
as in like things we already had recorded. Then Karma

18
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.319
got sick and now she's better, and now we're recording

19
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.640
very late for this week's episode. So that's why today

20
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.560
there's only our paranormal topic, which is again Gantin Plus

21
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.959
and Mermaids and no true crime case. But before we

22
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.560
get to Kantinplas, we do have a listener story and

23
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.400
if you have a story that you want to send

24
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.400
to the podcast, you can email Espakitosa at gmail dot com.

25
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.640
You can DM us on any of our socials, you

26
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.000
can submit it on Discord. There's a lot of ways

27
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.599
to get it to us. So yeah, we love receiving them,

28
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.439
we love reading them. Are we ready to hear this one? Yeah,

29
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:42.959
let's get into it. So this is from Isabella. Isabella says, Hi, First,

30
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.439
I want to say that I love y'all's podcast. I

31
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.239
literally have been binge listening to it NonStop for a

32
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.439
while now, and I'm close to being all caught up,

33
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.959
probably caught up by the time we're reading this. Uh,

34
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.640
probably held on. Let me see you what and it

35
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.760
was Actually I don't think we're that behind on emails.

36
00:01:56.799 --> 00:02:01.680
It's from August Okay, never mind. Also, I want to

37
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.760
thank y'all so much for always including Puerto Rico, our

38
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.039
Caribbean neighbors, in your research and stories. I was born

39
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.199
and raised there. Yet I always feel like I barely

40
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:13.199
hear any of our folk tales being told. We try,

41
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.319
and we try. I have a ton of spooky story

42
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.400
slash encounters, both for myself and from my family members.

43
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:20.439
And I was really young, I mainly would only have

44
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.680
encounters with my ancestors, like I've met my great aunts

45
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.000
and uncles and my great great grandpa and things like that.

46
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.240
That's super cool, right, I've always been very sensitive to

47
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.360
things like that, But when I turned fourteen, it got

48
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.319
worse because then I was experiencing way more than before.

49
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.280
It wasn't only family at that point, oh, Like it

50
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.879
was as if the doors just flew open and anyone

51
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.039
could come through. I've had a lot of dealings with

52
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.919
shadow people, some poultry geists, too many encounters of semes

53
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.240
the worst I know. I've seen the outline of what

54
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.159
was on top of me, and I have heard it

55
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.439
speak to me like chica, real terrifying, real quick. I

56
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.719
could always I could literally talk for hours of everything

57
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:05.840
I've seen. Future guests. Hey, but my wife and I

58
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.240
moved into our current house about three years ago, and

59
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.800
it's been one of the houses with most activity I've

60
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:13.400
lived at in a while. My wife recently asked me

61
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.439
if I think our house is haunted because one of

62
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.240
her coworkers told her about her experience staying at a

63
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.599
friend's house and how she was scratched by a ghost.

64
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.400
And my wife knows that I've had a lot of

65
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.199
experience with this stuff. She often jokes that I made

66
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.680
her a little stitious, like Michael in the office. I

67
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.719
told her no, because she has horrible anxiety, and I

68
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.639
know she wouldn't be able to handle knowing some shit

69
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.439
goes down in our house. That is so thoughtful. Hopefully

70
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.879
she doesn't listen, though, because then she'll hear it. Ooh,

71
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.360
she can never listen. I'm so sorry for us. I'm

72
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.479
so scenari Isabella's wife. You can't listen. My guess that

73
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.039
there are three or four entities minimum. One of them

74
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.080
gives me a sense of being a young girl. I

75
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.479
can't pinpoint exactly how old they might be, but their figures.

76
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:59.120
Shadow typically presents itself going up to my shoulders and

77
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.439
I'm five four, like it's the height of her shoulders,

78
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.479
not it's calling that her shoulder. It's okay, because I

79
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:08.080
could interpret it that way. If you're not paying close attention,

80
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.080
you know, yes, I always see her wearing a light

81
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.080
blue dress and has shoulder lenked hair. I've never seen

82
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.920
full details of her, mainly little glimpses out of the

83
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.040
corner of my eye, and it always looks like how

84
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.240
you would see someone who's standing in the shadows in

85
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.120
a dim room or something. So I can make out

86
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.360
the basics of her characteristics, but never really focus on her.

87
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.560
Like I said, she usually lurks in the background corners

88
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.600
and shadows. I will typically see her lurking by my

89
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.079
bathroom door when I'm doing my hair or makeup, and

90
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.079
there's a feeling of almost longing, like she wishes she

91
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:41.279
could be doing her makeup or hair, which is why

92
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.079
I'm leaning towards this entity. Being a young girl, like

93
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:48.439
maybe tweens or early teens, her presence doesn't always unsettle me.

94
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.279
It's usually just like a younger sister being annoying and

95
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.160
watching you. But every so often the emotions around her

96
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.639
will feel harsher, like she's trying to intimidate. I usually

97
00:04:57.639 --> 00:04:59.600
try to ignore her when she's lurking, but in those

98
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.680
moments I'll speak up and say, I know it's you.

99
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:04.079
Stop trying to scare me. I know you're there and

100
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.000
it'll stop and go away. But that's also very little

101
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.920
sister like I mean, I wouldn't know because we only

102
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.079
had each other. We didn't have a little sister. But

103
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.199
from everything I've seen from like you know, friends and whatever, movies,

104
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.399
another thing I've noticed, and I'm not sure if it's

105
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.240
a separate entity or if it's the same feminine one

106
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.079
I mentioned above, But at nighttime, I will feel the

107
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.399
sensation of my cats getting into bed with us in

108
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.680
the middle of the night, and I'll either reach out

109
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.319
to pet them like I normally do and they're not there,

110
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.319
or they will both already be in bed with us

111
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.720
in their usual position, and I'll feel the way to

112
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.240
the best shift as if something else lays down literally

113
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.800
nightmare and dou scene. Yes, yeah, in those moments, I

114
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.199
usually just freeze and pretend to not notice and just

115
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.519
hope it goes away. I'm not sure if this is

116
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.680
a different entity or maybe the girl just looking for comfort,

117
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.720
but yeah, scary. The other thing I know for sure

118
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.319
we have and I really don't like acknowledging it or

119
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.439
talking about it is a mimic. Oh the worst, Oh

120
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.199
my god. We hate those. We hate those. Yeah, I've

121
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.920
never seen it present itself in a visual way, and

122
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.040
this is in no way invitation for it to do so, Universe,

123
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:18.120
please don't do it. Yeah, hey, but I'll often hear

124
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.839
my wife's voice calling to me from upstairs when I

125
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:23.839
know she's not home. Or I'll hear my cats and meowing,

126
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.439
even if they're sitting right next to me. This doesn't

127
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.079
happen often, thank God, but it's happened enough for me

128
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.240
to notice. Or my wife will think she heard me

129
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.160
calling upstairs to her, but I've trained her well enough

130
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.959
to know that if you cannot see someone, do not

131
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:38.920
respond to their voice, because that's something my grandpa droll

132
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.560
in to us as kids, especially since he lived in

133
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.439
the Campo. Important lessons. Lastly, and the one I hate

134
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:50.199
the most. Sorry, there's something worse than immeg worse. Well,

135
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.920
there's some presents in our bedroom's closet. Oh no, not

136
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.879
the closet. I don't always feel it, but when I do,

137
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.319
it's horrible. It feels very menacing and threatening. Since I

138
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.319
was a teen, I always closed all of my doors,

139
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.920
covered any exposed mirrors in my room, et cetera. Because

140
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.439
of my experiences when I was young, and sometimes the

141
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.319
entities following me would still open my doors or knock

142
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.000
down the blankets over my mirrors. But even at our house,

143
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.680
I always closed our doors. And one night my wife,

144
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.120
who's usually a sound sleeper, just sat up in bed,

145
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.240
shook my shoulders and said, you need to close the

146
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.519
closet door. And I was like what, and she goes,

147
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.839
you need to close the closet door. Now scary. I

148
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.639
bolted out of bed to close it, and did it

149
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.759
feel a little resistant when I tried pulling the handle, closed,

150
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.839
ran back the fuck to bed, and left my flashlight

151
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.720
on for the rest of the night. When I got

152
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.800
back in bed, my wife was already laying back down.

153
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.360
It's throwing away like she did not just scare the

154
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:48.480
life out of me. Wow behavior, not after hearing something now. No.

155
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.439
The next morning, I asked her if she remembered waking

156
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.439
me up the night before and talked to me. She

157
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.519
said no, that she did not remember that, and she

158
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.199
was just dreaming the entire time, like uninterrupted dreaming and

159
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.000
her dream Also, I had nothing to do with our

160
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:04.279
closet or door being open. Oh my god, that's this

161
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.279
is worse. Yeah, it's worse. Yeah, that shit still terrifies

162
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.920
me today, and that happened almost two years ago now

163
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.199
to this day, I sort of know if I forgot

164
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.279
to close the door before going to bed partesies unlikely, Yes,

165
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.800
very unlikely. Not Yeah, Or if whatever it was opened

166
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.800
it and was trying to get out question mark question

167
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:26.920
mark question marketing. Oh my god, I was scary. I

168
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.160
don't know, and I hate thinking about it still. Anyway,

169
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.639
That's been my most recent experiences, but like I said,

170
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.399
I have so many more that I love to share.

171
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.000
It was a struggle even sharing just these, though, because

172
00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.559
every time I tried something what happened to stop me.

173
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.159
I tried leaving voice notes telling these experiences, but when

174
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:44.240
I listened back to it, it would be cut out.

175
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.799
For the closet part. I try leaving a voicemail and

176
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.240
it would constantly hang up on me before I could

177
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.000
get halfway through. My computer died once when I tried

178
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.399
typing it out on the email, even though it was

179
00:08:54.440 --> 00:09:00.759
fully charged. Crazy Like I'm legit scared, but I can't

180
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:06.039
take myself seriously with my seat A little message I

181
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.120
made a scared perce and I immediately was gonna laugh

182
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.000
oh this is my love. Even now my computer is

183
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.679
plugged in and saying that it has less than fifty

184
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.080
percent charge, and I feel dizzy and thirsty, even though

185
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.960
we literally had a good dinner and epictricking water. It's

186
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.080
like something doesn't want me to tell others it's here.

187
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.759
We'll see what happens. I guess. Oh my god, Isabella,

188
00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:30.559
please tell us that you're okay. First of all, Isabella,

189
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:32.639
we would love your stories, but we don't need them.

190
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.480
It's okay, we appreciate these, we really loved it. But

191
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.080
if it's going to be dangerous for you to tell

192
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.960
us more stories, don't do it. Don't do it. Don't

193
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:45.960
we don't need them. It's okay. Yeah, self care. Wow

194
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.639
that was wild? Yeah, all right, well Kantin plus yeah

195
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.679
you you know kantim Plas, don't be all yeah, who

196
00:09:55.720 --> 00:10:01.080
doesn't an iconic actor. I will say I've never seen anything.

197
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.039
I only know who he is, but I've never watched

198
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.600
I feel like I've seen little clips here and there,

199
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.879
but never like a full blown movie of his. I

200
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:19.440
never watched. Same. Yeah, iconic though, iconic for sure. Oh yeah, yeah,

201
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.919
this is why the Mexicans say you're not actually a Mexican.

202
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:27.240
I'm not Mexican enough for the Mexicans. I'm not. Yeah,

203
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:32.080
first of all, I'm half story and they hate that. Again.

204
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:42.960
I'm done. I'm done anyway, Plaz. Did you know that

205
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.679
he was obsessed with mermaids? Yes, I did, because MG

206
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.240
told us to say, no, it's pretty that rewind his No.

207
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:59.440
Really I didn't know, yes, yeah, yeah, And they say

208
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.200
that if you watch his movies, there's like little hints

209
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.039
here and there about his obsession. I wouldn't know because

210
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:08.159
I was just gonna say, you know why, we don't

211
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.039
know it because we've never seen these movies exactly. Yeah,

212
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.519
so my bad, But that's what they say. That's what

213
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.960
they say. And yeah, so he was obsessed. And the

214
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.440
stay of Guerrero itself, where he has a home in Acapulco,

215
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.200
is full of mermaid legends. We've already shared some. I'm

216
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.799
going to share a couple legends before talking about cantin

217
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.480
Flas and what it has to do with Guerretro and

218
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.960
mermaids other than he was obsessed. The state of Guerrero

219
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.879
is full of legends of mermaids. And I know, like

220
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.320
in Spanish you just use the word siedena. It's all

221
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:44.799
the same. In English, there's like, oh, there's not a mermaid,

222
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.480
it's a siren. Oh, they're only in the ocean. That

223
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.200
doesn't matter in Mexico. In Mexico and there in the lakes,

224
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.679
they're in the rivers, they're in the ocean, they're everywhere

225
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.080
as long as it's a body of water, like it

226
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:57.120
doesn't matter in Mexico. And usually people just say CNAs

227
00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:59.840
And I'm just gonna use either sedan or a mermaid.

228
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.120
So I'm going to be sharing some legends from Guerrero

229
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:08.000
because that's where cantin Flanz has a house in Acapulco, Guerrero.

230
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:12.679
He made his house specifically to attract Cidnass And we're

231
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.039
gonna get into that after I show these legends. Also

232
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.080
because I love I just there's some of my favorite stories,

233
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.879
like mermaids and stuff. I don't remember them, so I

234
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:26.120
haven't shared these before. These. According to legend, Acidna lives

235
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.080
in the Laguna of Wamustitlan, a pueblo in the mountains

236
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.519
of Guerrero. She starts to sit on a rock at

237
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.120
the edge of the lake after midnight, and then just

238
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:38.039
before the sun rises, she goes back into the lake

239
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.720
and she just sits there brushing her hair, hanging out

240
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.679
on this rock. You uh lorie. Men to their death

241
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.120
even cuter, even cuter a cedanas tend to do so.

242
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.360
The lake can be seen from the road, and it

243
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.440
said that if a driver sees her chilling after midnight

244
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.960
on this rock, they get so distracted. There's accidents because

245
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.000
of her. Even if you're that far away where the

246
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.440
road is. If you hear her, she will hypnotize you.

247
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:03.879
And so you have to go to the lake and

248
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.279
follow the sound of her voice, and then you know

249
00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:08.720
you see her. You keep following her into the lake.

250
00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:10.279
You know, you go into the lake and then you

251
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.039
don't come back out. You just you drown. Because that's

252
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.639
what she wants. People have abandoned their cars on the

253
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:18.720
side of the road to follow her in. Oh wow. Yeah,

254
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.240
once you hear her, you're done. And you know, the

255
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.559
things I read all set people, but these stories it's

256
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.840
usually man. So men follow her and will swim across

257
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.559
the water to reach her. When she dives in, they follow,

258
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:33.480
drowning to death. People in ms Titlan avoid the area

259
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.000
once it's dark because no one wants to run into her.

260
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:37.919
I watched the video of this guy. He's in front

261
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.799
of the lake during the day, of course, and he

262
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.360
walks by. He's like, and this legend you can find

263
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.960
it on Google whatever, but it's like the people believe it.

264
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:46.919
And he runs into some random women and he's like,

265
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.679
you hang out here and I She's like, no, La

266
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:53.919
Siena lives here, like come in here. So yeah, that

267
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:59.720
was last Sitrena the christ tlam Yes thinky well Moo's

268
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:07.159
did and it's hard to say. Yeah. And that's just

269
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.840
one of many Mermaid legends, like I said, a bunch

270
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.879
of times already. We've shared several already in the past,

271
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.200
you know, past episodes. It has been a while though.

272
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.039
There's even a famous traditional Mexican song called have you

273
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.080
heard it? I don't think so. Yeah, it's one of

274
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:26.399
those very traditional songs singing in wasteco, like a very

275
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.799
gary Why did I send it to you? What's wrong

276
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:33.080
with me? Yeah? Oh I guess it's what bangoing, not

277
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:34.159
what you said.

278
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:46.200
Whatever I said, I can hear it.

279
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.639
Yeah, you got the idea that wor it was just

280
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.039
it was gonna take forever. Okay, just fast forward it

281
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:13.879
fast forwarded to the words. Okay, I like it. Yeah,

282
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.320
here La sirena something something, So I have them written down.

283
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:22.159
I'm just gonna share. I'm gonna share the words. So yeah,

284
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.120
it's it's sung in that style, and it's about a sierna,

285
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:28.159
a woman who turns into a siena. And so you know.

286
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.679
Here the lyrics in Spanish, some of them Lamera Maria,

287
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:42.440
the la prime Maria, pro Corea Gonelagua Coorea and Corea

288
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:50.519
yevando Arena jevando Arena Connela Corea Asia and el Marna.

289
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:54.080
And this is a rough translation made by me. So

290
00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.960
was born of the first Maria, of the first Maria.

291
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:02.559
She was born, but the sea current took her the

292
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.879
sea cret she fell in love with with the water

293
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.039
that ran, taking foam and sand, foem and sand with

294
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.639
the sea current that ran. That's how the mermaid was

295
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.320
born in the sea. And the legend that the song

296
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:17.759
is about is that there was a beautiful young woman

297
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.320
with black hair, brown skin and big brown eyes. Cute. Yeah.

298
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:27.039
Her name was I Savedra Gonzalez. Her father, Abundio, had

299
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:29.399
passed away, and her mother was now a widow who

300
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:32.639
dedicated herself to the church. She was very religious, always

301
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:38.320
making sure to follow the Catholic doctrine, including not working

302
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.879
on holy days and so on. A Juez santo Ide

303
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:48.159
decided to go gather lenyas in firewood, and her mother

304
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.200
was against it because she shouldn't be working. It was

305
00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.759
a holy day, Holy Thursday. She should be resting. Yeah,

306
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:57.440
she should be resting, and so irene ridaa and whatever.

307
00:16:57.519 --> 00:16:59.720
She didn't listen. When she returned, she told her mom

308
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:01.080
that she is going to go wash up in the

309
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:03.200
river because now her hands were all dirty from the

310
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.599
hard work she had just done. And her mom was like,

311
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.920
it's wrong to bathe yourself, dreamed Samana Santa all week,

312
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:11.880
you're not supposed to shower, apparently. I don't know why

313
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.000
I know that, or she came from the Spaniards, obviously,

314
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.640
I thought, you know what I'm saying, how religious? Say?

315
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.839
I am showering. I need to shower to feel clean

316
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:28.480
when I go to sleep. Yeah, and then sometimes I

317
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.480
just want to shower again in the morning. I'm wasting

318
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.960
a lot of water. I don't care. Oh, you know,

319
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.160
because sometimes I sweat at night. Yeah, everyone does, right,

320
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:42.000
It's not just me. No, No, of course, anyway, didn't listen.

321
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:43.839
She's like, you know what, I'll just wash my face

322
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:46.519
then and she went to the river. Sometime later that

323
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.839
Massia Iden's mom heard screaming. It was her daughter yelling

324
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:53.599
for help. That Massia ran to the lake and she

325
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.720
saw her daughter inside of the water, only now she

326
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.799
was half fish half woman. And then out of nowhere,

327
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:05.160
a giant wave swallowed. When the water was calm again,

328
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:08.119
Ena was nowhere to be seen. That Massia ran to

329
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.880
the town center and gathered everyone. They returned to the

330
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.640
lake where they saw a mermaid. And then the mermaid

331
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.559
began to yell ak betn ak, which means to spin

332
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.519
in the nek like indigenous language of this area. Oh

333
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:25.559
As she yelled the words, the creatures of the lake

334
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.319
began to spin around her. They formed a whirlpool that

335
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.680
spun and spun until the mermaid was underwater. And her

336
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.960
name Latra comes from the words that the people of

337
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.759
the town heard her say. But then ak and now

338
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:44.279
it said that fishermen who hear her singing are hypnotized

339
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:49.680
by her beauty. Then she flips their boats not good, no, no,

340
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:54.079
causing waves until they drown and join her forever in

341
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:58.359
this little lake. And that's from Vera Cruz, but there's

342
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.799
a very similar version in Grero that has its own song.

343
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:05.039
They're almost the same. The only difference is that in

344
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:08.519
Guerrero she's not collecting wood. She's doing her laundry, which

345
00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.839
is more work. Man, I don't know. They both sound

346
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.880
like we're hard work. Actually, I feel like because she

347
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.920
was collecting nanyella, right, yeah, we're I feel like that's

348
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.160
harder than doing laundry, right, you're right. Sorry, I just

349
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:25.519
hate laundry. Yeah. And so in the ghetto Vergion, she's

350
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.799
doing laundry, but she's so persistent on doing it on

351
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.279
this day because her boyfriend, her secret boyfriend, is also

352
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.240
out the river doing laundry and they're supposed to meet.

353
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:40.400
So really, this is a don't have secret boyfriends warning,

354
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:43.960
and listen to your mother. Be a good Catholic. Don't

355
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.599
get me started on having to hide your boyfriend from

356
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:52.000
your mom's the trunk. We can't go there, traumatic, I can,

357
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.720
oh god. But also kind of funny now no, I

358
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.079
don't know, sort of will are you finished before I

359
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:03.319
get into my stuff? Sorry? Okay. And in Guerrero, Laa

360
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:06.039
is said to live in a lake in a pueblo

361
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.519
of the Costa Chica of Guerrero and Vera Cruz. She

362
00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:14.279
lives in the pueblo of Francho Nuevo in Laguna Dammi

363
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:19.119
dam yaha, dam yah wa. I'm not sure what I'm saying. Sorry,

364
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.960
I just laughing. No, you can't take anything I'm saying

365
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:31.839
seriously with my no mustache here, Okay, I can't either, Okay, Okay,

366
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.640
you know. And so yeah, those are the mermaids stories

367
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.240
from Guerrero that I wanted to share before talking about

368
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.480
the very famous Mexican actor Cantine Flas who was obsessed

369
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.440
with mermaids, so obsessed that he built a whole house

370
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.240
in a Capulco to attract them. But before that, wasn't

371
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:50.759
hey scared of being drowned by them? No, he just

372
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.359
he loved them. Okay, Before that, what were you going

373
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:55.960
to talk about? Scle boyfriends and moms. I was just

374
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:01.640
gonna say that, Okay, our mom was horrible and that aspect. Mom,

375
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:05.480
if you're listening, you know she knows, right. But now okay,

376
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:09.799
I told her. Okay, so we of course, like everyone does,

377
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:12.559
we had boyfriends that we had from her, right, And

378
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.559
then I don't remember how she Oh, we remember that

379
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:16.559
note Okay, we had our notebook. I'm sure it was

380
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:18.880
the comment passed around. Yeah, we passed around to all

381
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:20.640
of our friends like we would like put it in

382
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.920
each other's lockers or like you know, hand it to

383
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:24.839
each other every class road or whatever, and we would

384
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:28.200
write notes to each other, Yeah about the day, catch up, cheese, myths.

385
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:30.519
We didn't have phones, so this is what we had

386
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.480
to do. Yeah, because you know, now you can just text,

387
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.200
but back then that was the group chat. I was

388
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.599
gonna say phones worthing. But we were broke bitches, all

389
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.559
of us, so none of us had phones. I think

390
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:42.960
we all got phones like senior year, except us. But

391
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:45.359
I think back then too, texting was like ten cents

392
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.319
a text. Yeah, I feel like most people weren't texting.

393
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:50.119
I don't know about the rich white kids, but we

394
00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:52.759
weren't texting, let alone had our own phones. You know. So, yeah,

395
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:55.480
we had this notebook and we passed around. It was

396
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:58.039
like today's group chat. And of course we were talking

397
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.480
about our boyfriends and our mom. First of all, she

398
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:05.839
wouldn't have been getting into our ship, you know, like moms,

399
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:09.000
there's no privacy. Probably all that thing. I was not

400
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:13.480
just Mexican moms digging in our ship, read our fucking notebooks,

401
00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:16.720
and was like, what the fuck? Yelled for hours all

402
00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:19.960
the other moms. Yeah, yep, ever, you got in trouble

403
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.359
and it was our fall. Yeah, I'm surprised they talked

404
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.680
to us after that. I would have shunned us. I

405
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:27.200
would have. I would have, yeah, hand down, that's how

406
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:32.440
it was shunning easy And anyway, she was like going

407
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.319
on and off for hours about how we were like disrespecting,

408
00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:38.000
blah blah, and then she made she made us like

409
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.240
Neil in front of our I died the year round.

410
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.559
I thought of our I forgot about this, Yeah, of

411
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:49.920
our great grandfather to beg for forgiveness. And I told

412
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:51.640
you that. She's like, I don't remember doing that, and

413
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:53.279
I was like, what the fuck you don't fucking rap?

414
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:58.559
Oh no, not the classic. No, I think I would

415
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:00.519
have remembered if I made you do that. Like, She's like,

416
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.240
my bad, if I did that, that's an exaggeration, and

417
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:07.799
I'm like, yes, it doesn't bit much, and yeah, that's what. Uh,

418
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:10.640
that's what happened. Should have should have just turned into

419
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:13.240
a mermaid, right, Yeah, I was like, I don't blame

420
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:15.839
her for choosing the mermaid life. No, but there's no

421
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.200
closed body of water here, so we didn't have that off.

422
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:20.000
But also she didn't choose it. It was a curse for

423
00:23:20.119 --> 00:23:23.359
all the right here. Mom. Yeah, yeah, although honestly sometimes

424
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:28.720
it sounds a little better. No mortgage, no bills around

425
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:33.160
the sea levels are rising, So mermaids are gaining capital.

426
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:41.599
That's true. That's very true. So are many industryed. Yeah,

427
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:42.720
there's no like win win here.

428
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:43.119
Yeah.

429
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:47.400
Okay, well we're all screwed. Yeah we are. We'll take

430
00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:51.200
a little our brain here to contemplate all this. Who's

431
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:57.200
better off us are the mermaids? I'm not sure. Welcome

432

00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:32.279
those are some legends, Mermaid legends from Verac, nave Cruz,

454
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.640
from Guerrero and yeah, like I said, I wanted to

455
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:37.839
talk about all this because of cantin Flas having a

456
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.319
house to attract mermaids. You know, he's probably the most

457
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:44.359
famous Mexican comedian. He was born August twelfth. Leo oh

458
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.559
oh leo. Okay, fam haven't seen his movie, but I

459
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:51.319
am a fan. So his movie is plural. He's one movie.

460
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:54.960
I haven't seen it. And then sadly he passed away

461
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.680
on the twenty of April nineteen eighty three from I

462
00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.839
want to say. It was lung cancer. And he was

463
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.240
a I mean hundreds and hundreds of movies. He was

464
00:26:02.279 --> 00:26:06.440
called the Charlie Chaplin of Mexico. Charlie Chaplin himself said

465
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:10.079
Kantin Plantz was the best comedian alive. Wow. And he

466
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.680
even had parts in Hollywood. He has a star in Hollywood.

467
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.440
I haven't seen it, but it's there. I actually haven't

468
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.000
seen any downtown street, but I don't remember carriers to

469
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.559
look down like who was there? Yeah, I don't know

470
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:28.240
what's wrong with us today anyway. So you can see

471
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:30.920
him in the og around the world in eighty days,

472
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:32.960
like he won an award for that movie. Oh, I

473
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.359
didn't know that. Yeah, And when you think of the

474
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:38.720
golden era of Mexican cinema, Cantin Plants is like, oh yeah,

475
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:40.680
the first person that comes to my mind. And then

476
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:43.039
maybe like I don't know Bee, which they were the

477
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:46.599
best buddies, so that makes sense? Y, yeah, whose monstache

478
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:54.799
is better? Come on? Yeah, you see the Kanti massage.

479
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:58.240
So when he passed away, it was a very very

480
00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:02.200
sad thing for everyone in Mexico declared three days of mourning,

481
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:08.200
national mourning, and there was national homoges for him, and

482
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.440
even the US Congress had a minute of silence. Oh wow,

483
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:14.240
that's the way. Yeah, which I didn't know. I mean,

484
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:19.279
you could easily say he had it all, not mermaids. Yeah, exactly,

485
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.200
he wasn't happy he needed mermaids. And yeah, apparently if

486
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.440
you look back on his movies you can see the science.

487
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:28.519
But again I wouldn't know. Maybe we should watch a

488
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:32.480
Kantiinflas movie. We should. So it said that one night

489
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.079
at a bar in Mexico City, Kantiinflanz was there drinking

490
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:39.839
when he was approached by a man named Carlos Lorenzo Ernandez,

491
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:43.559
and soon the pair of men began chatting, drinking, having

492
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:47.720
those deep conversations that you have with strangers at a bar. Yeah, well,

493
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.240
not with strangers, but with my drunk friends, yes, exactly. Yeah,

494
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:54.119
doesn't talk to strangers drunk conversations. I don't talk. I'm

495
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:58.440
not an extrovert. That's why I don't have friends. During this,

496
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:02.279
Kantimflas told him told the man that fame and fortune,

497
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.640
it just it wasn't enough. And he had this deep,

498
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:10.480
deep desire to marry a mermaid. I mean, they're hot.

499
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.359
I would want to to. Yeah, so I don't. I

500
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:17.359
don't blame him, so he thought. I thought the man

501
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.200
was going to laugh at him, like that's so silly,

502
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:21.799
what do you mean mary a mermaid? But no, the

503
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.839
man didn't laugh. Instead, he told him this was possible,

504
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:28.160
and he told him he could make this happen for him.

505
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.480
So they wouldn't be easy. He had to follow his

506
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.359
exact instructions, and so he handed kantin Plants a small

507
00:28:34.519 --> 00:28:37.960
quartz and then he told him, you have to build

508
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:40.839
a mansion on the edge of the sea. That mansion

509
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:45.039
has to have a giant statue of yourself facing the sea.

510
00:28:45.119 --> 00:28:48.160
I love this. Yeah, I don't know. Kantivlas has statues

511
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.720
of him all over Mexico like that. He built himself,

512
00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:52.319
Like I don't. I would too if I was at

513
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:56.160
I mean Leo. He's a Leo like. Yeah, of course,

514
00:28:56.440 --> 00:28:59.359
So I'm going to actually commission a statue of us. No,

515
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:02.680
oh my god, Okay, I have a stout one in

516
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:05.240
front of my house that I hate. What if I

517
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:08.920
tear down that fountain? What the statue was? Yeah, So

518
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:11.920
the mansion had to have a giant statue of him

519
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.599
facing the sea. And then he needed to build a

520
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:18.279
pool that connected to the sea, so like a seawater pool.

521
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:23.559
Oh my god, sounds luxurious, very yeah, and that way

522
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:26.920
mermaids can enter. Once all this was done, he had

523
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.000
to stand in front of his statue facing the ocean

524
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.480
with that small quartz in his hand. At exactly two am.

525
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.119
Solas did exactly what the man said. When his mansion

526
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.519
was finally built, he walked out to the statue of himself.

527
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:44.480
The giant statue of himself stood in front of it,

528
00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:50.920
facing the sea. Suddenly the man reappeared. What how, I

529
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:52.640
don't know. If he just knew the house was done,

530
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:55.680
looking up the progress of the house he was walking

531
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:58.559
by every day. Yeah, something, I'm not sure. So the

532
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:01.359
man reappeared and told him, see, I told you I

533
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:03.720
would be back. Now move closer. To the water, and

534
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:05.839
then both men stood at the edge of the pier

535
00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:10.279
with the courts holding the quartz stone. And they didn't

536
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:13.279
just see one mermaid. They saw a bunch of mermaids.

537
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:16.079
And I'm not sure one of them agreed to American

538
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.839
timplass then and there, like maybe it took some time.

539
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:20.559
I don't know. I mean, I feel like you still

540
00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:22.839
have the woo, you know, like you can't you can't

541
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:26.160
just have a mermaid. Yeah, although it didn't take much

542
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:28.720
for what's his name in The Little Mermaid Prince Eric,

543
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:32.039
she was kind of desperate things. You're right, she was, Yeah,

544
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:36.279
I'm not gonna we can't hold all mermaids to mermaids

545
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:41.799
aerials like standard or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. So after that moment,

546
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.599
Kantis would throw these amazing parties where the special guests

547
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:50.880
of these parties were mermaids. What allegedly other famous people

548
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:53.279
saw the mermaids at his house. Okay, I want to

549
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:57.960
know what drugs they were on. I need names. What drugs? Yeah,

550
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:01.200
that too, and I also names. And he had a

551
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:04.759
pool that had a various openings that went out into

552
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:07.000
the sea. That's so cool, though, I want to see

553
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:09.720
the house. Unfortunately, it has received quite a bit of

554
00:31:09.759 --> 00:31:12.920
damage from like hurricanes, because again it isn't a couple

555
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:16.680
of pool and it's been abandoned for a while. So

556
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:19.240
can you buy this house? How much is a cousin?

557
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:21.839
You probably could, but it's just going to keep getting

558
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:27.000
damaged from more hurricanes. They're geing worse they are, so yeah,

559
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:29.880
you could tell though that the house was beautiful once,

560
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.599
like when you're looking at images of people there, and

561
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:35.559
that the pools were beautiful, and yeah, it said that

562
00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:39.039
mermaids entered this pool and they were amazing parties. And

563
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:41.440
if mermaids were really there, I mean, you know what,

564
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:43.680
I believe it? Who am I? Who am I to

565
00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:44.400
not believe them?

566
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:44.599
You know?

567
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:47.759
Like yeah, yeah, it's even said that he made a

568
00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:50.759
pact with these mermaids where he would live forever. I mean,

569
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:53.279
obviously he passed away, but it said that the pack

570
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.640
came true because his soul is trapped in the giant

571
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.759
statue of him in front of his house. They say

572
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.359
that the statue comes to life at two am. Oh

573
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:05.960
my god, like people have seen it move. It's said

574
00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:08.160
to take the form of a human and then lounch

575
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.839
itself into the sea. Others say that if you stand

576
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:12.799
in front of the statue at two am, you can

577
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.200
feel a hand touch your shoulder trying to lure you

578
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.240
into the sea. I don't like that. No, I don't

579
00:32:19.279 --> 00:32:21.720
like that either. Some versions of the story say that

580
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:24.759
the man Kantivlas met at the bar in Mexico City

581
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.279
wasn't actually a man, It was a mermaid. It was

582
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:32.880
a devil of course. Yeah, of course, and he annoyingly

583
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:36.960
sold this soul to him. Precisely, that's exactly it. The

584
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.279
devil tricked him into this deal, and that's why his

585
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:44.200
soul is trapped in that statue. Yeah, and he can

586
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:46.960
only be set free if someone stands in front of

587
00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:50.039
the statue at two am and gets pulled into the water,

588
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.799
like all the way where they drown. They then take

589
00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:56.680
the place, but there still takes the place of Gantivlas's soul.

590
00:32:56.680 --> 00:32:59.279
I'm sorry, Cantilas, I wouldn't do that for you. I wouldn't,

591
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.519
I wouldn't know. This is like a chatro negro. But

592
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:03.839
then you can't even like travel around you're trapped in

593
00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:06.079
the statue. Yeah, that's no fun. I mean, you get

594
00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:08.240
to leave every day at two am and go into

595
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:12.680
the ocean. Oh true, Now is that better? No? What's worse?

596
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:18.759
Is that better than being alive? Right now? I things

597
00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:24.200
to contemplate and sadly today the house is in ruins,

598
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.680
but it's still there. The statue is still there. It's gigantic.

599
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.559
Like I watched the video of these two couple that

600
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:33.640
goes there. The guys he looks like a tall guy.

601
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:37.319
Maybe he was like not even to the statues, like me, like,

602
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.880
it's a big statue. Wow. And yeah, you can go

603
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.480
and see the statue. It's still there. People that live

604
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.599
nearby say that you can hear mermaids at that same time,

605
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:49.319
always two am in this instance, but you can hear

606
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.799
them visit the abandoned mansion, still looking for the man

607
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:56.880
that loved them so much. Oh, I mean that's sweet.

608
00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:59.839
I think it's sweet. No, I agree. So if that's

609
00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:03.519
not weird enough, that's not the only mysterious things surrounding

610
00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:07.279
kantin Flass. Really, I guess the mermaids that's probably the strangest,

611
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.360
most like mysterious thing there. But you know him and

612
00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:13.440
pether Infante I said earlier, there were BFFs. Yeah, okay,

613
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:16.719
and bether infante. He didn't die super young, but he

614
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:19.159
didn't die like he didn't live to be you know

615
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.119
old either. He died in a plane crash, and there's

616
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:25.239
a conspiracy theory that he didn't actually die in that

617
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:28.119
plane crash. Kantin Flass like he faked his death and

618
00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:31.079
Kanti Flas kept him hidden in one of his properties.

619
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:33.960
Oh wow, because he just wanted a normal life. He

620
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:36.239
didn't want to be famous anymore. He just wanted to chill.

621
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:40.000
If he did that for him, that would be really nice. Yeah,

622
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.360
and there's people out there who claim to have run

623
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:45.320
into bether Infante like later as an elderly man, and

624
00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:47.559
you know he like since passed away, but he got

625
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:50.639
to live a normal life hiding out in Kantinflans's house,

626
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:53.599
one of his many houses. So yeah, that was a

627
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:55.760
little odd and I just wanted to mention it as well.

628
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:58.480
But yeah, like I said, a lot of those houses

629
00:34:58.519 --> 00:35:02.320
have Kanti Flast statues too. There's one I want to say,

630
00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:06.840
Mexico City and like the Roma neighborhood. Maybe Oh really,

631
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:08.960
Oh I wish I would have known that you can

632
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.000
rotate it. Oh wow. Yeah, if you only had known,

633
00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:14.119
you could have fun to see counting from us I

634
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:16.599
want to go see the statue in a caprico. I'm

635
00:35:16.599 --> 00:35:18.559
not going to be there Atoyin though, I'm too scared.

636
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.840
Maybe we'll see a mermaid right them. Yeah, like I said,

637
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:26.119
the mension is what's further destroyed with the last hurricane.

638
00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:29.920
That's hurricanes right now that have done serious damage to

639
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:34.960
a Capuco also here, also here. Yeah, it's a terrible time. Yeah,

640
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:36.599
so you know what, Yeah, I put some things for

641
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.639
like some community funds so we can help out, and

642
00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:42.000
I'll also help out a little bit. But yeah, it's

643
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:45.199
it got damaged and the statue hopefully it's still. Like

644
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:49.400
it's such a beautiful house and like if only natural

645
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:51.960
disasters didn't happen and the house could be restored, like

646
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:56.079
imagine that. Yeah, that would be amazing. That would be amazing,

647
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:58.440
and then we could just hang out there and we

648
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.679
could buy it. No, I'm not rich enough, but yeah

649
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:05.119
that is Kantivlas and mermaids. What a cool story. Yeah,

650
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:07.000
at first, I'm like, man, that's like a little silly,

651
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:08.920
but you know what, good for him for having a

652
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:11.320
dream and obsession and trying to make it happen, like

653
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:15.320
just going for it, you know. Yeah, I don't hate it.

654
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:18.960
I like it. I support it. Yeah yeah, I like it.

655
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:21.800
And I hope that he did marry a mermaid. Yeah,

656
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:24.440
me too. Or they just had this like relationship with

657
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.840
a bunch of mermaids, like a consensual one, you know,

658
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:28.400
where they were just like they all just did what

659
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:32.360
they wanted. Maybe they wanted that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm

660
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:35.639
going to send you some clips of the house. Oh wow,

661
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:39.840
it is big. It's a giant statue that to look

662
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:42.920
really nice, that house, like in its prime, it would

663
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:46.880
have been really beautiful, beautiful, right, And these people that

664
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:49.400
went there, I'll put this link in the show notes

665
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:51.800
in case anyone understands Spanish and wants to see like

666
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:54.239
the house and people like walking around it. I'll put

667
00:36:54.280 --> 00:36:58.840
that in the show notes. But they were there waiting

668
00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:00.679
to see if they sign anything around to Am and

669
00:37:00.719 --> 00:37:03.199
they didn't. But when they went back to their hotel

670
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:06.000
or something which was very close to this house, and

671
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:08.400
they were outside in like the little balcony area or

672
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:10.480
something like that, they one of the friends they were

673
00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:12.880
with like in the distance saw and it could have

674
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.400
been like any like secreature, which they acknowledge in the video,

675
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:16.840
Like yeah, it could have been a secreature. But it

676
00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:18.559
was like we were talking about how we were waiting

677
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:20.800
didn't see anything, and then we heard like a splashing

678
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:24.519
of distance. I mean, what a coincidence? Right? Yeah? And

679
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:26.639
they say, like we know, like what a coincidence. So

680
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:28.880
we can't say for sure if it was or not

681
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:32.159
a mermaid, but like so weird. So I don't know,

682
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:34.639
I don't know, but I mean, like so many people,

683
00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:37.719
so many cultures have like so like you know, mermaid stories.

684
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.199
I mean it's certainly, you know, a fascinating tale as

685
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:47.280
I you're like fascinating my musasion eyebrowser can't handle it.

686
00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:49.320
I have to stop talking to them. O, my god,

687
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:53.840
watch this all. But yeah, yeah, that was that was

688
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:57.480
today's stories. I mean, let us know, it's just it's

689
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:02.000
just fairy tales to everyone. You I wouldn't like discount

690
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:05.840
the possibility of when confusing a creature in the ocean

691
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:11.719
for mermaid, right, like like a certain colonizer did. Yeah exactly,

692
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:14.039
And there's so much unknown about the ocean. Yeah, so

693
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:16.960
I certainly wouldn't discount like seeing something that you like,

694
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:19.639
there has to be something weird out there for sure. Yeah.

695
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.199
So and I mean again it'd be super cool. I

696
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:24.480
would have loved to become memor maid. Well, Discovery taught

697
00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.880
me that mermaids are real. Remember that that documentary from

698
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:32.760
Discovery about the Mermaids. No, oh, it was a moment

699
00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:34.920
for a little bit, probably like ten years ago. I

700
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:37.400
don't remember how long ago years ago. Maybe I'm not sure.

701
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:39.639
I don't remember. I feel like somebody out there will

702
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:42.599
know what I'm talking about. Probably I don't remember. Somebody

703
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:46.199
will interesting. Okay, So, yeah, we have reached the end

704
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.119
of this episode. I like, I love talking about them though.

705
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:52.480
It was a really fun episode. Yeah, whether I believe

706
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.880
it or not, I love reading about them. And I

707
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:58.599
really hope that Canting Flaz did get to marry one

708
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:01.360
me too. And so yeah, we'll take a little out

709
00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:08.800
of break here. Then welcome back for speaky recommendations, and

710
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:12.960
we're back. Well, do you have speaky recommendations? I do. Okay,

711
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:17.239
let me go to story graph because all my recommendations.

712
00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:21.920
I have been watching Supernatural because I love I love

713
00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:28.119
Dean who doesn't right. I know it's very cheesy, but

714
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:32.119
that's what I've been watching. And you've been sick. So yeah, okay,

715
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:37.000
So I finished a few audiobooks. One of them was

716
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:40.280
Hot Sweet Home and it was very short, so like

717
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:42.239
I think that I don't know if anyone's looking for

718
00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.519
like a quick audio book. It was only three hours

719
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:48.400
and forty one minutes, okay, and it was really cool

720
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:52.599
because well, let me read the description so that people

721
00:39:52.639 --> 00:39:54.719
can hear. I actually don't know how to pronounce this

722
00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:58.360
word on the set of a kits Chi kit Chi.

723
00:39:58.920 --> 00:40:01.079
Do you know that word? No, I feel like you've

724
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:06.800
probably heard it. It's spelled ki tshy. Now it means

725
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:10.559
like cheesy, I think on the set of Kitchi reality

726
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:14.079
TV that sounds wrong. Reality TV show stage scares transformed

727
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:17.280
into unnerving reality in the Spooky Ghost Story for multiple

728
00:40:17.440 --> 00:40:20.079
Yogo and Nebula award winning authors or a pink sir,

729
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.960
so then it does. When aimless twenty something Mara lands

730
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:26.599
a job as a night shift production assistant on her

731
00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:31.199
cousin's ghost honeying slash homemakeover reality TV show Haunt Sweet Home,

732
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:34.760
she quickly determines her new role will require a healthy

733
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:39.159
attitude toward duplicity line. But as she hides fog machines

734
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:42.880
in the woods and improvises scares to spook new homeowners,

735
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:46.159
A series of unnerving incidents on set, and a creepy

736
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:50.320
new coworker forced Mara to confront whether the person she's

737
00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:53.559
truly been deceiving and hiding from all along is herself

738
00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:56.760
Erie an empathetic haunt suet home as a multifaceted toupur

739
00:40:56.880 --> 00:41:01.239
natural exploration of finding your own way into adulthood, into yourself.

740
00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:05.079
And so it's like setting this reality TV show that

741
00:41:05.159 --> 00:41:09.280
her cousin does, and they're pretending to scare the residents,

742
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:12.000
and so then they'll have clips of like the reality

743
00:41:12.079 --> 00:41:13.920
TV show of her cousin be like, well here we

744
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.719
are back on the scene, and it was like different points.

745
00:41:16.760 --> 00:41:19.320
It's fun, it sounds fun. It sounds fun short listen.

746
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:21.760
The only reason I didn't give it like higher rating

747
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:25.480
is because I feel like the ending was a little underwhelming,

748
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:28.400
like I would have wanted, I don't know, something more exciting,

749
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:31.719
but you know, not everything is is wrapped up that way.

750
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:34.559
That's just me. I do think it's a fun listen though,

751
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:36.199
so I do still recommend it, even though I didn't

752
00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:38.880
like how it ended. And then I also I listened

753
00:41:38.920 --> 00:41:40.880
to Tenders of Flesh. I won't get too much into

754
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:43.039
it because I know it's one of our books. It's

755
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:44.960
going to be one of our books. And I can't

756
00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:47.719
believe you listened to that before finishing. It was so

757
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:51.079
good it was, but oh my god. Anyway, I guess

758
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:53.840
I'll save my thoughts. I read it five stars, but

759
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:57.639
it's so disturbing, like I would read it again. I've

760
00:41:57.679 --> 00:41:59.760
heard other people say they wouldn't read it again. I would,

761
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:02.159
but I feel like it hits you and your core,

762
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:06.760
you know, like questioning, like life. I don't know everything. Wow,

763
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:09.880
I can't wait to read it. They told you that.

764
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:11.719
I was like, I might become a vegetarian. I don't know.

765
00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:14.519
You did tell me that. Yeah, it was intense. It

766
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.079
was intense, and I don't know. There's just so no

767
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:20.840
good noo. I will get more into it. Also, after

768
00:42:20.960 --> 00:42:23.840
I finished listening to Tenors of Flesh, I went back

769
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:26.800
to Susto's episode of Tender as a Flesh and I

770
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:30.840
listened to that, so I also recommend that. And then okay,

771
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.480
the last one I read, I who have never known men,

772
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:37.800
And it's not horror per se. It's more like sci

773
00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:40.639
fi I think, but it's very interesting, weird. I was

774
00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.239
gonna say you don't read sci fi. Yeah, I mean, well,

775
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:47.039
it's like dystopian, which I like dystopian, So I guess

776
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:49.480
that's not really sci fi. So I mischaracterized it. It's

777
00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:52.320
more dystopian than not, so let me read that description.

778
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:54.679
A young woman is kept in a cage underground with

779
00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:58.239
thirty nine other females, guarded by armed men who never

780
00:42:58.360 --> 00:43:02.159
speak her crimes un remembered, if indeed there were crimes.

781
00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:04.960
The youngest of forty, a child with no name and

782
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:08.840
no past. She survives for some purpose long forgotten in

783
00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:12.639
a world ravaged and wasted. In this reality where intimacy

784
00:43:12.760 --> 00:43:17.400
is forbidden, in the unrelenting sameness of the artificial days

785
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:20.760
and nights, she knows nothing of books and time, of

786
00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:25.079
needs and feelings. Then everything changes, and nothing changes. A

787
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:27.800
young woman who has never known men, a child who

788
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:31.280
knows of no history before the bars and restraints, must

789
00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:34.480
now reinvent herself, piece by piece, in a place she

790
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:36.719
has never been, and in the face of the most

791
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:42.119
challenging and terrifying unknowns. Freedom fascinating. Okay, it was like

792
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:45.760
unlike any other book I've ever read, and I feel

793
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:49.559
like it's it's very character driven, like plot wise, like

794
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:53.280
not much happens, like pretty much what I read is

795
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:58.719
what happens. But still it's so interesting interesting, Okay, I

796
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:01.119
read it it five out of five. I feel like

797
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:03.800
it also kind of makes you question, like so much. Okay,

798
00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:06.079
I don't know, and yes, I don't know. It has

799
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:10.360
like themes of like feminism, freedom, it's just super super interesting.

800
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:12.519
I was like, don't ask me to describe a book.

801
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:15.480
Have you seen that video? That real? And it's like

802
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:17.719
when you sent it to me, Oh yeah I did,

803
00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:21.000
Yeah you did. Yeah, I forget what happens in the

804
00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:23.440
real something about like when someone asked you to just

805
00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:26.719
write a book, you just it's like read from current mines.

806
00:44:26.840 --> 00:44:29.039
He's like yeah, yeah, and it's about But then he's

807
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:32.199
like halflight and he's like, I forgot and he told

808
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:36.360
me something I will never forget. He said, shit, I

809
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:38.159
forgot what he said, but he basically what he was

810
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:41.239
getting at was the same. I need to be reading notes.

811
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:47.440
I have made it to like chapter twenty something of Pinata.

812
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:49.880
It's gotten so good. I can't wait to finish it.

813
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:52.159
I got distracted because I had a lot of work

814
00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:55.079
to finish. So whenever I work, I just play New

815
00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:57.400
Girl in the background, and that's what I've been doing.

816
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:00.199
I've been watching New Girl and non stop. Basically, first,

817
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:02.440
I'm rewatching it. I hadn't rewatched it. I can't believe it.

818
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:04.679
I've rewatched it like so many times already and I

819
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.599
never finished it. So oh yeah, yeah, the last season

820
00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:10.519
I really like. Yeah, I'm I feel like I just

821
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:13.840
should finish it. Yeah. So yeah, I don't have speaking recommendations,

822
00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:18.360
except I did discover a podcast called Lemos They look

823
00:45:18.360 --> 00:45:22.320
can No Exist. It in Spanish. It's also on YouTube. Ooh,

824
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:25.320
let me add that to my rotation. Yeah, and it's

825
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:27.760
just he's like this guy. He has guests and they're

826
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:30.440
just telling scary stories and they're scarier because it's in

827
00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:33.840
Spanish and he's serious. Oh yeah, people don't like it

828
00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:38.239
retail scart, No, some people don't, some people do. We're

829
00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:41.679
not everyone's jam. They're very serious. So you know, sometimes

830
00:45:41.760 --> 00:45:45.079
I just need a serious scary listen. And uh, this

831
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:48.079
is a good one. So obviously I've already talked about

832
00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:50.639
the other ones that I love. And if you want

833
00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:53.960
a little something to also laugh while like being scared,

834
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:57.000
Moras Malitas is my other favorite. Yes, I've said it before,

835
00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:02.119
but yeah, ablemos, sorry blemos, look Noxiste. It's really good

836
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:05.199
and Letty loves you. Former guests. Former guest on It

837
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:10.840
spooktails her TikTok. She usually will translate things from Abiste

838
00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:14.039
for TikTok videos, so you know, if you don't know

839
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:18.039
Spanish and you want to see what they talk about

840
00:46:18.079 --> 00:46:20.320
the stories they share, there's some very creepy ones she

841
00:46:20.920 --> 00:46:23.239
talks about. I'm on TikTok. That reminds me I really

842
00:46:23.280 --> 00:46:27.440
need to get back to doing tiktoks. But man's so yeah,

843
00:46:27.599 --> 00:46:32.320
that's my speaking recommendation, just that that podcast. And I'm

844
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:36.320
almost done with the book Club. I'm in chapter ten, Wow,

845
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:39.599
fucking loser. And I just got a hold that came through.

846
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:44.039
Stop stop requesting other books. It's my last hold. That's

847
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:48.159
not an audiobook. It's called Omecito. Have you heard of it? No,

848
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:50.639
it sounds cute. Yeah, it's supposed to be really good.

849
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:53.800
I'll send it to you later. Okay. Also, so behind

850
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:56.239
on my podcast too, because I have like, hello audiobooks

851
00:46:56.719 --> 00:47:00.320
checked out right now. You need to calm down, you know,

852
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:02.400
And you know what happens because I have stuff on

853
00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:05.159
hold and then it comes through and then I'll get notified.

854
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.880
That's something I like requested to be notified whenever the

855
00:47:07.960 --> 00:47:10.639
library gets it. Like, I'll get a notification immediately because

856
00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:12.400
I can't wait. I have no chill. I'm like, yes,

857
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:14.079
check it out. And I think you have like five

858
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:18.000
audiobooks right now. This is why the booklip is taken longer. No, no,

859
00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:20.519
it's not because when I listen to audiobooks that's different

860
00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:23.039
than reading. No, I meant because of your other books.

861
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:27.679
Yes that, I will admit that. Yeah one, yes, yeah,

862
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:28.639
you're right, you're right.

863
00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:28.960
Yeah.

864
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:32.000
Oh, I guess some other things. We're trying to have

865
00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:36.159
a different costume on for every episode this month of October,

866
00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:42.519
our holy month of Halloween. Praise be Halleluijah. Yes, so

867
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:45.360
that's just something fun. I thought you were done. That

868
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:48.239
was my last one. Okay, that's just something fun we're

869
00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:52.000
doing for October, trying to do. We also have a

870
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.199
fun episode plan with some of our fames, which you'll

871
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:57.800
find out whenknocks out. We did an episode with week

872
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:00.320
Ago that will be out later in October. Oh, I'm

873
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:03.920
looking forward to that. Yeah. They're so funny. They are hilarious.

874
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:06.840
I love them and I wish I could talk Spanish

875
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:10.480
that cool. Yeah we can't. We're trying. I complained to

876
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:11.679
my husband all the time, and I'm like, can you

877
00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:14.320
understand that my mom she was like a fressa and

878
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:18.280
she didn't let us speak slaying spanishling nothing. So now

879
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:21.079
now I don't know, like it's too late. Now I

880
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:23.519
don't sound cool in Spanish, right, I can't. I can't

881
00:48:23.519 --> 00:48:25.599
say the thing words. But I also don't sound fressa.

882
00:48:26.599 --> 00:48:29.280
I just just sound what are you? What? Even are you?

883
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:31.679
Dumb bitch? And They're like if you're American writing? And

884
00:48:31.719 --> 00:48:32.599
I'm like, I guess.

885
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:33.360
Yeah.

886
00:48:33.880 --> 00:48:36.480
So that is our internal struggles I will always have.

887
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:38.960
But yeah, we did an episode with them. I think

888
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:41.800
mid October is when that is coming out. That was

889
00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:44.400
a lot of fun and yeah, just you know, I

890
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:46.719
wish we had more time to plan more things for Halloween,

891
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:48.920
but we don't. Like I wish we could do a

892
00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:50.840
movie night. I just have no time. I wish I

893
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:53.400
could have gone to visit you, but yeah, that would

894
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:55.719
have been the best. We will have a Patron episode

895
00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:57.159
at some point this month as well, where we're just

896
00:48:57.199 --> 00:48:59.920
gonna read scary stories to each other. Carmen it's gonna

897
00:48:59.920 --> 00:49:02.960
have a murder Mystery party. Are you still doing that? Yeah,

898
00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:07.239
I am, and I've tried. So. I've been building a

899
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:10.679
coffin out of styrofoam. I think they're called the phone boards.

900
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:13.400
It's like insulation, like big boards that you I supposed

901
00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:15.360
to inslat your house whatever. I've been trying to record

902
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:19.000
a little bit of my process. I'm really bad at recording.

903
00:49:19.960 --> 00:49:21.679
I would do my best because I do want to

904
00:49:21.719 --> 00:49:23.880
put together well, I want Christina to help me put

905
00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:26.920
together put together a video for a Patreon of my

906
00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:31.400
vampire theme murder Mystery party. Yes, so that is a plan,

907
00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:33.960
but I have no promises there and I don't know.

908
00:49:34.039 --> 00:49:36.239
I have to figure out how to do a like

909
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:38.880
movie night, where to stream it, And went on to

910
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:41.599
promise and really want to. I did, but it wasn't

911
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.159
working and I was very mad, and I haven't done

912
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:49.000
one since that didn't work last two years ago. It

913
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:51.239
was like two years ago, No, it really was. Yeah,

914
00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:53.599
I though I don't know, no promises because I also

915
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:58.360
volunteered to do a fun run with my child, although

916
00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:00.639
that one's this Friday, so that's gonna take a lot

917
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:03.159
of time. I did, however, volunteer to be one of

918
00:50:03.199 --> 00:50:06.800
the trunk retreat cars for the school's trunk retreat. Oh,

919
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:09.400
we better clean out your car. Well, yeah, obviously. So

920
00:50:09.519 --> 00:50:10.880
that's why I said my month is going to be

921
00:50:11.000 --> 00:50:13.360
very busy because I have to clean my van. Halloween

922
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:16.800
spooky season is a busy time because there's so much

923
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.760
spooky activities. But yeah, there's so many spooky season activities.

924
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:23.880
It's probably the best month ever. It really is. There's

925
00:50:23.920 --> 00:50:26.880
so much to do. But yeah, I'm thinking of Scooby

926
00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:30.519
Doo theme for my trunk retreat van. Ooh, and yet

927
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:33.480
it's a van that's perfect. I will post pictures, but

928
00:50:33.559 --> 00:50:36.880
I'm hoping to find enough cardboard to paint the mystery machine.

929
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.519
I have thoughts. I have thoughts. I will post pictures.

930
00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:44.679
Will it be executed, We'll see, We'll find out. We'll see,

931
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:48.400
because again, a bitch has adhd and I have grand

932
00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:50.320
plans and only like half of them. I feel you,

933
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:55.679
but I want to. I want to. The thought is there?

934
00:50:56.559 --> 00:51:02.639
The thought is the thought is there? Stop it looks

935
00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:08.400
funnier because I'm mussage. I'm just gonna kind of click

936
00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:12.920
on that. It's gonna be a new gift okay, that

937
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:15.679

new ones and these ones are huge. And if you

962
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:30.559
want to support, but you can or don't want to

963

join the Patreon, that's fine too. You can also get

964
00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:36.679
some merch. You can find shrew sessay, a spooky and

965
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:39.639
old English letters. There's a beanie. I love the beanie.

966
00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:44.119
There's also a hat. There's a no Mamus shirt which

967
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:47.880
is a fan favorite. There's a lot of options, crap tops, sweaters.

968
00:52:47.960 --> 00:52:51.599
It's almost wetter weather. We're nearing a spookie season, so yeah,

969
00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:53.760
get your hoodies. You're gonna need them. If you don't

970
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:55.679
want to do all that, that's fine too. You can

971
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:58.239
just listen like you're listening now, and that's the best

972
00:52:58.239 --> 00:52:59.920
support that you can give us, like I always say
