00:02
I gotta eat something.
00:04
Wait, how did that happen?
00:08
You're on a subway,
00:09
right? Ok. Ok.
00:16
What the hell's going on?
00:25
I'm starved. I'm so confused.
00:30
We could run for the border.
00:32
Damn, that commercial aged badly.
00:36
I don't know. I don't know if they can make a
00:38
commercial like that today.
00:42
But I mean, the eighties and nineties were a different time
00:44
I think they were a different time anyways.
00:46
That is a perfect segue for our next story of how people
00:49
love to go to Mexico to run away from certain situations
00:55
in their life, especially,
00:56
you know, celebrities.
00:57
they might go for affordable health care or even cost of
01:00
living. But again,
01:01
the main reason they escape might be for trouble with the law
01:05
So it's like the go to spot for criminals in movies
01:08
Mexico is always the spot that is like,
01:10
oh, let's make a run for it to Mexico,
01:13
you know, like,
01:13
like take them bad vibes somewhere else.
01:16
Well, do you remember like Drake Bell Porque?
01:20
I think he got some child endangerment like lawsuits.
01:23
I don't, he got caught up and he fled to Mexico
01:26
and then, you know,
01:26
he even rebranded to Dr Campana.
01:29
He found inspiration. No.
01:34
Like he's really in it,
01:36
bro. Like he's dedicated.
01:37
Yeah. Yeah. He hit a Peso pluma too.
01:39
Yeah, you're right.
01:42
As a Congo. He said way too during COVID actress Rose
01:47
mcgowan dipped to Mexico calling it a healing land and that she's
01:52
never coming back to the United States.
01:55
I guess we can start calling her Rosa Dang.
02:00
Ok. There, there's more examples.
02:01
Don't worry, We got you.
02:02
So apparently a mother of a Texas teenager who used the affluenza
02:06
defense in the fatal drunken driving case.
02:09
She took out $30,000 because her kid got a drunk driving accident
02:12
and was like, let's go to Mexico.
02:14
Yeah, exactly. But like 30,000 also,
02:16
it's like, how long is it going to last you?
02:19
The peso conversion? I know it's like a little better.
02:21
But, and then they were caught,
02:22
get this in Puerto Vallarta.
02:24
Oh, definitely. Like,
02:25
yeah, it's easy to blend in there.
02:27
They got a tourist and so they,
02:28
oh, there's another white person over there.
02:30
So where would you flee if you committed a crime?
02:32
And you had to hide out?
02:34
Oh, that is a good question.
02:36
Mexico, Mexico because I'm Mexican.
02:41
So it's an easy,
02:41
like, hide out,
02:42
you know, easy hide away.
02:44
Maybe San Miguel de Allende because I really like it there a
02:47
little vacation. Vicky.
02:48
I like that. Ok.
02:51
All right. Well,
02:52
