Oh. Yeah. Like how early? I think we have to be up probably by five. Okay. Yeah, five. I think we have a 7 a.m. flight. So Axel will be up at three and ready to go.

Yeah. I mean, they are ready to go. And, you know, this is, I mean, absolute top of her game, Alexi packing for our family. Suitcases have been out and open for four days, slowly building as we go. For example, you can't get too ahead of it because Addie has a pair of Cupcake. She says Cupcake, so that's why I double clutched.

I know how to say it. Cupcake socks that she wears to bed now, but also we know we have to bring them, so you can't pack the cupcakes early. So, and just very Russell Crowe, and it's a beautiful mind, chalkboard math in her head at all times. Right. And, you know, make sandwiches for the plane,

a million activities for the plane. Yeah. All of which will be done before we even taxi. And then there'll be like 45 minutes of her trying. It's a little bit like the Alamo, like they didn't, they like, you know, they, you know, they tried to hold the Alamo. Right.

And they didn't. Yeah. But like every, like I feel like every flight, Alexi is like the last guy trying to hold the Alamo. Uh-huh. To not let the kids watch the movies. Yeah. On the back of their screens.

Which is so hard. There's screens right there. And I'm just saying, just let go. Yeah the back of their screens. Which is so hard. There's screens right there. And I'm just like, just let go. Just let it go. There's no mom like you. You're incredible. Give yourself a break.

Let them watch something on a screen. And you can also, yeah, with a plane, I feel like, because everyone has their own screen, you can say this is a unique circumstance in which you have your own screen. You can say this is a unique circumstance in which you have your own screen. We can't take it away from you. We can turn it off. But that seems weird. It's a hard argument to win. You just press that button and it's on. So what the dilly. And it's very hard to tell kids they can't watch when everybody else on the plane is watching. Yeah.

I really hope she allows herself the freedom to enjoy the flight once we get them in the air. Is Ash at a point where, I feel like your kids aren't watching live action movies, are they? Uh, they, no, Star Wars, so that's live action. Okay, all right. They're really into that now, yeah.

Yeah. Star Wars. That's what Ash- Star Wars. Ash says Star Wars and it's what Ash says, Star Wars, and it's driving me crazy, but he also, we laugh so he knows he's saying it wrong and he can't say it right. He's like, Star War, what is it?

Really good. Yeah. Just have a cupcake and watch some Star Wars. Star Wars. Do you think that the kids will want to watch the same thing or will they all watch different things? Oh, all watch different. Yeah. Okay.

I mean, I'm just praying there's Peppa Pig for Addie. Yeah, there's gonna be something that Addie's gonna like. Or maybe Alexi is gonna hold firm and she's gonna, the Alamo will survive. Yeah, she'll be the one person who survives the Alamo. Yeah. But I'm looking forward to it. We haven't been anywhere with sunshine

basically since the summer. We've had a very long, cold summer. So I am looking forward to a week in Indianapolis. Yeah, you've had a long, cold winter. You haven't had a long, cold summer. Yeah, a long, cold winter. Yeah. That's great.

I'm excited for you guys. I feel like you didn't hear my really good joke about where we're going. Well, because you said the wrong season. Well, now we have to edit it all out or leave it all in. See how. Try your joke again.

Yeah, it's been a long, it's been a long cold winter. So I'm really looking forward to getting some sunshine in Indianapolis. Oh yeah, I missed it. Yeah. I missed it. I wouldn't say this is a great intro, but it is a reminder that if you,

the next time you hear a great intro, know that it doesn't come easy. Like they take work, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, in my defense, you sort of stumbled over the delivery by getting the season. I agree, I'm owning it. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm owning it. Okay, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm, look, it went bad. Yeah. But I'll let you know how our trip goes. I'm very, very excited. And it's great because it's just, it's so rare for it to be just me and Alexi and the three kids, which is why it's a shame

that both are siblings and one of their husbands and one of their kids is also coming. And you're all in one room? You guys got one big room? Yeah, we have one big room and it's gonna be very fun. It's called, it's a little house on the prairie experience where we're gonna head to tow it,

like a wanker. Uh-huh, right. Can't wait. Yeah. All right, this is, I was at Delight talking to Iza, and I hope it's a delight to listen to the conversation. Yeah, she's got a cool- Well, she's in a new movie called Ash, we established.

I thought it was A-S-H, but it's Ash. Yeah, I think it's Ash. Yeah, real- I feel like this is a movie you're gonna go see with Jill. I think that's the high likelihood of that upon watching the trailer, which throughout this episode you say, I won't watch the trailer,

but if we have a guest on this show. Okay, good to establish. Good to establish. I'm watching trailers. Yeah. All right. Yeah, looks good, looks fun. In theaters now. So check out Ash, and before that, check out this episode. family trips with the Midas Brothers. Here we go. Hello.

Hello. Hi. How are you? I'm great. How are you? Good. Thank you so much for joining us. Oh my God. I'm so happy to join you too. This is incredible. I am gonna just start by saying that I watched the trailer for ASH and it looks fantastic. But here's the thing.

Josh is the biggest horror fan in the family by far. Oh really? But also, Josh refuses to watch a trailer before he sees a movie. I'm the same. Really? I don't like to watch trailers, no? Okay, if you don't like, that's fine to say you don't like,

but if you were in a theater, would you cover your eyes and ears during a trailer? Cause that's what my brother does. Oh, interesting. I don't go to watch trailers. I don't, I get there later. Like, every movie is like a premiere for you that you're in and someone has saved you a seat.

Yes, and I run in the last minute. The last minute and the credits are starting. And then at the end, even if you're not in the movie, you do ask for someone to go up and introduce you. And clap. Yeah. It's mandatory. You have to clap.

No, I'm with you with that. I don't like it. I feel like trailers, by the way, I don't know if you've rewatched recently, like old trailers. They're insane. Like old trailers, the narration, it was like the whole thing that used to happen back in the day with trailers was incredible. But I just feel like they give away movies

so much in this day and age. And I actually kind of love, I really do like the Ash trailer because it truly doesn't give away anything. And that's because the director was so crazy about the trailer. He was just like, you can't, because this movie, once you start it,

I mean, I don't want to spoil it, but you can't, even doing the press tour has been very complicated because we can't talk about it because for minute five, they're spoiler, spoiler, spoiler, spoiler, so. It's a really tough movie to market, actually. I was curious how they were gonna do it, because you really can't put anything on the trailer

or else you give away the movie. Yeah, I will say it again. I mean, I know how to market it. I would say space horror. Yeah. Survival movie. Survival or space horror. It's more of a survival movie, yeah.

One of my favorite tropes in movies is something went wrong on the spaceship. I really like, I just, because I like, I like sort of the self-contained small spaces. I think so much happens in movies where they go astray when they get bigger than the idea they're trying to do. And so when something goes wrong in a spaceship,

I feel really, I feel in good hands. I just like, I mean, I'm happy not to be the one trapped on the spaceship, but I enjoy watching it. I do, I like, I like contained movies as well. Contained movies to me, you know, really, it really exercises the human experience. And I think that the human experience is what people find, they don't realize it's like the doormat real experience

that people are into, which is what survival is. And I think that people really connect with that. Just the idea of what you would do. I mean, that's why Naked and Afraid is so famous and people watch it so much. Like people love survival stuff. But I really enjoyed this one specifically because of that. Because I'd never had,

I've been in movies. I mean, I've done a little bit of everything, but I'd never done a movie that was this contained and also really required a lot of, it really falls into the performance. It really allows you as an actor to kind of go for it and try new things. And when the storyline isn't technically necessarily linear

or you're sort of, um... You know, you're not really... This is not an interstellar type of sci-fi. This is... If I had my way to describe Ash without giving away anything is like, the substance meets fight club, meets alien. That's great. So it's like-

I never thought those three would meet. This is so exciting. There you go. This is kinda it. Finally. I will say- I'm curious if you will feel that way when you watch it. To get back to, I will say getting back to the theme of the podcast, watching, any time I see a movie that takes place in space, I think to myself, when it's possible to take

family trips to space, which is probably in the near future, I will not do that. I'm never going to space. I wish everybody the best. Enjoy yourself. Josh is going on his own. Are you going, Josh? Would you go to space, Josh? Yeah, I'm never going to space. I wish everybody the best. Enjoy yourself. Josh is going on his own. Are you going, Josh? Would you go to space, Josh? I will say, my wife would not wanna go. So it wouldn't really be a family trip.

I would go on my own. I would never go to space. I'd love to go to space. I would never. They're doing all these trips to space lately. And I saw someone recently that is going on that trip. And I was like, I don't want you to do that. I really don't.

Like, I'm worried. I don't want you. And she was like, I'm gonna do it. And I was like, okay. I was like, I wanna tell you. Are you also worried that she'll come back and it's all she's gonna talk about? That's why I don't want my friends to go to space.

Because then you have FOMO. You have space FOMO. And now you're like, you feel forced to kind of go to space. Yeah, I... It's bad enough when you have brunch with someone who just came back from living abroad. I can only imagine when people are like, you know, this isn't what orange juice tastes like in space.

Or they went on a trip in the summer to France, the Provence. The Provence. France, Provence, and they're like, oh, in Provence, we just drink crispyce, and they're like, oh, in Provence, we don't drink, we just drink crispy wine, and you're like, oh, God. You clearly just had a summer in Europe. And then you just go to a restaurant,

and your friend's like, do you guys have Tang? Yeah. I'm like, I'll do tap water, thanks. You're Tang in a pouch? Do you have Tang? You have a pouch of Tang with a straw? Tang, yes, thank you. You can't just drink it in zero gravity.

Yeah. It would go everywhere. You can't, that's the other thing that you just nailed. I'm a foodie. I just can't with space food. You're gonna wait until they have like, what is it? I guess it would be Earth to Table? Like, carbon.

What would it be? Yeah, like Space to Table. Space to Table. Mooncows? Is it like space caviar? Yeah. Like, where are they sourcing this caviar from? Yeah, exactly. So, Izzy, you grew up in Mexico. Is it like space caviar? Like where are they sourcing this caviar from?

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So Izzy, you grew up in Mexico, in Sonora, Mexico? Well, actually funny that I know that Wikipedia says that about me. I did not grow up in Sonora. Let it. So my mom, yeah Wikipedia, by the way,

I was like if Wikipedia's lying about where I live, why can't it lie about my age? Like I don't understand. Oh, so they're nailing your age. They're nailing it. They're like, by the minute. But somehow, no clue where I was born. I was born in Mexico City, but my family's from Sonora.

My family's from the border. I'm a border kid. Basically, I was raised in Sonora with my family, and I would visit. But yeah, I'm a Mexico City girl. So how much of your childhood was spent in Mexico City? Well, how much of a childhood did I have, I think that's the question.

Yeah, let's get right into that. Yeah, I didn't have a lot of, like, childhood time. My childhood kind of ended pretty soon because I started working when I was 12. So from there on when I was 12. Gotcha. So from there on I was traveling constantly. I lived after, so I lived from zero to basically 15, 16

in Mexico City, but I was touring from 11 of 16 like constantly and then I moved to Argentina. That was music touring. Music 16, like, constantly. And then, um, I moved to our new team. That was music touring. Music touring, yes. I used to sing. Once upon a time, it feels like a distant, distant, dystopian time, but... But you were professionally singing from 11 to 16? Yeah. I recorded...

Man, I lost. I'm like, uh... You know, the outcome of child, children's TV shows and whatnot. So there was a moment of my life that I was recording. I was doing this different types. I did Nickelodeon in Latin America. I did soap operas. There was a moment in my career that I'd be in

between takes and I would record an album in a closet. I'd be in a closet in between takes. And it was just like, you're part of a well-oiled machine. So I probably put out like six albums. I can't even remember. Five, six, it was like. I like that part of the well-oiled machine

is getting a 12 year old in a closet to record songs. Exploitation, child labor. You can't believe. A well-oiled machine is child labor in Mexico. Really. The only thing that can throw a wrench in it is child labor laws. Ultimately, the machine is running pretty well

as long as they're significant. Ultimately, in Mexico, they don't have any of those, so we're here, and I'm the outcome. Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. This episode of Family Trips is brought to you by Nissan. Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. This episode of Family Trips is brought to you by Nissan. Hey, Sufi. Yeah, Pashi.

What's that thing I always say about going big and it never going out of style? Oh, I remember, going big never goes out of style. Yeah, that's it. And that's why we at Family Trips love partnering with Nissan, because they know that going big never goes out of style, especially when it comes to the 2025 Nissan lineup.

And the Nissan vehicle we want to give a huge shout out to today, the all-new Nissan Armada Pro 4X. Sufi, what's that thing I always say about the all-new Nissan Armada Pro 4X? Pashi, you always, always say that no terrain is too tough for the all-new Nissan Armada Pro 4X. It's the most capable Armada ever built. Yeah, that's right. It's like your catchphrase.

Yeah, I'm known for saying that, and how could I not? With a new powerful engine, incredible towing capacity, and adventure-ready technology, this is the first Armada to earn the Pro 4X badge. It's built for the most rugged of terrain thanks to the fact that it's powered by a twin-turbo V6 engine, which means it's ready to give you the freedom to explore further and to propel your

adventures to new heights. And my favorite part, the Armada's premium interior seats up to eight passengers. That means we can bring our six best friends with us on our next adventure. Let's name them right now. And we're out of time. So thanks again to Nissan for sponsoring this episode of Family Trips Explore Further with the Nissan Armada Pro 4X. Learn more at NissanUSA.com.

Support comes from Delete Me. Hi Pashi. Hi, Sufi. You know, we've been talking with mom and dad. Sometimes when dad is listening to the podcast and hears a sponsor we've had on before, he wants to skip because he thinks it's the same ad. So I'm just doing this preamble to let dad know that it's going to be a different read every time. Yeah. There's going to be some similarities, but certainly some variation. Right. We're going to talk about what's great about Delete Me again. Like, we're not going to be talking about the same thing.

We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing.

We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be talking about the same thing. We're going to be a different read every time. Yeah. There's going to be some similarities, but certainly some variation. Right. We're going to talk about what's great about Delete Me again. Like, we're not going to change that, because Delete Me,

every time we discuss them, they're always a company that makes it easy, quick, and safe to remove your personal data online at a time when surveillance and data breaches are common enough to make everyone vulnerable. Yeah. Also, I'm looking at you, Dad. Yeah. These devices are vulnerable.

Oh my God. The vulnerability of Dad's. Although you know what's not vulnerable? What's that? Dad's guesses. Dad does his work in a notebook for the New York Times Spelling Bee. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. If somebody ever finds that ledger, they're going to be like, it must be code. And someone's going to be like, I think it might just be guesses for the spelling bee. Anyway, vulnerable devices, take it away, Josh. Well, you know, Delete Me knows that your privacy is worth protecting, so sign up and provide Delete Me

with exactly what information you want deleted, and their experts will take it from there. They will send you regular, personalized privacy reports showing what they found, where they found it, and what they removed. And I would not want Dad to be a victim of identity theft. No. Imagine if we walked up to some man and we're like, hi, Dad, because we didn't know who our dad was anymore.

Yeah. Because again, if somebody steals your identity, Dad, that's the guy we're going with. Take control of your data and keep your private life private by signing up for Delete Me.

That is...

So let's step back to zero to 12. Like you, I know you, is it, I mean, again, I'm going to go off Wikipedia here, so hopefully we know now that they're about, it's a coin flip on what they. Like you, I know you, is it, I mean, again, I'm gonna go off Wikipedia here. So hopefully we know now that they're about, it's a coin flip on what they get. Yeah, yeah, you never know. You gotta give them the $3. When they ask for $3, you gotta give it to them.

You gotta pay them. Because otherwise it's just gonna make up where somebody's from. I would pay the $3 to change my profile photo too. Oh really? It's like they always put a photo like, and you're like, really? From all the photos, you're like.

Where? Yeah, because I feel like you probably take some pretty good pictures. And you know what, we're going to write. Josh and I are going to make a clear wikipedia. Can you write a letter? Thank you. Yeah, like the $3 is on hold until you have paid.

We'll do a petition, like a signed petition, of better photos for Asa Gonzalez. Where? And so from zero to 12, you have one sibling that's a good deal older? Yeah, he's almost 13 years older than me, yes. Wow, so what sort of relationship do you have with a sibling who's that much older? It's interesting, it has evolved throughout history,

like throughout time. At the beginning, you know, it started with he didn't go see me be born, I guess. And he said, well, she's gonna be around forever. I don't need to be there on that day. Not a bad argument. Sounds like a 12 or 13 year old's approach to something like that.

Yeah, he was like, it's my best friend's birthday. Yeah, sure. Like, my best friend's only gonna turn 12 once, so she's gonna be around. So that's how it started. Then it became, you know became 12 to 23 or whatever. Well, that's not right, that's not right math. 12 to like 20, 25, 26,

because it's like we're 12, 13 years apart, like it's a bit in the middle. And he couldn't stand me. Like I was just like the most obnoxious. My brother went to a military school and I just wanted to wrestle because I grew up with boys, right? Yeah. I grew up with military boys. So I was like that kid who wanted to wrestle and bite. I was like that angsty kid that wanted to bite all the time and he hated me. And then 25

to 30, his friends want to date me. Now the boys that I was like biting are trying to date me and now he's like a protective brother. And then- It is a very alluring form of flirting. Yeah, it's like- The biting. Yeah, the biting.

It clearly works, by the way, just FYI. It really was like the, the success rate was pretty high. But then, and then it turns 30, you know, 32 to his mid 40s. And, you know, it was very sweet. He, we're together right now as a family because we're going through some family stuff and he came to my house. He hadn't, I just moved and I got a new house and he walked in and he got really emotional and cried and he was like, I'm just so proud of you. So the relationship has morphed throughout the years

because that gap is so big. But it's been magnificent because I lost my father pretty young and he's sort of the man of the house. And he is one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet. Like he's genuinely like, my mom and I are monsters and she is, you know, we are like dynamic, independent, self-made women.

And my brother's like the kind, sweet teddy bear who's like in the oil industry. Like he doesn't understand anything. And so it's very refreshing to be around him because he's like just a very pure soul. And I sometimes hang out with him and he's older than me and I'm like, wow, you are really earnest, like you're, you're naive still, like in a beautiful way. Like you're not jaded. Like sometimes I like look at him and I'll be like, what are you talking about? And he's like, so, but he's so sweet.

And it just reminds me of like, yeah, maintaining my spirit sort of fragile and like soft and tender and he's really soft and tender. I'd love to loop back on the fact that you and your mom are monsters. Um, so. Sure. What is, how, how does your mom's, because I'm assuming you're incredibly close with your mom.

I'm gonna go out of the way. Incredibly close. So what's a good example of her having a monstrous behavior that is also deserving of affection? My mother, you know, my mother is, wow, like I could speak for the hour about my mother, but my mother's a very impressive woman. Like my mother's one out of eight, well, almost nine because they sort of took someone in, into the family, brothers and sisters, from a very, very, very humble home.

They all lived in a house of three bedrooms. And no money, nothing, no sources. And she's from a really small town. And when she, she wanted to be an orthodontist. And in her town in Sonora, there was no university that had that. And so she applied for one of the best universities in Mexico, and she got a scholarship. And she basically has a master's degree. Like, she is really well prepared.

And she's so sweet. She got pregnant really young and had my brother really, really young, and had to pull double shifts when she was young. She was a single mother and raised my brother and go to medical school simultaneously. And then my mom is very beautiful till the day. She's spectacularly beautiful, more in the inside than the outside. And she had a friend that was like a model on the side

and she was like, I think you really should fill in for me for this job, I can't go. And so she did. And then ever since she never stopped working. And so you're a 21 year old with a child and you're making more money as a model than you are as an orthodontist, which is shocking.

And so she sort of retired from medical school. But my mom ever since has like morphed into millions of different women. She went from being a full on medical student to a supermodel to then getting pregnant with me and wanting to dedicate more to her family and a business. So she opened a ginormous model agency. She had the biggest model agency

in Latin America for many years. And then I became an actress at a really young age. So then I needed to have someone to take care of me. So then she closed her model agency to manage me. And she became a manager. And then in the midst of that, she was like, I want to be a therapist. So she went, like in her 40s, to study psychology.

And she then graduated and became a therapist. And so she's just like, if that doesn't engulf, like she is just like an ever evolving woman. I will say she does sound like a monster, total monster. She's a monster. And I say it, she is, and she's the most like stubborn woman ever, but she's mostly right.

And so she's most of the time right, and I hate to admit it, but she's a dynamic woman, for sure. It seems like based on her many careers, is it safe to assume that you had some pretty interesting travel as a kid? I did, I really did, and then add to that, that from 13 on, I'm touring and I'm already working,

and my mom used to joke that for my birthday, she was gonna give me a bedroom at a airport. Like she's just, she's gonna, she was gonna give me like a multi-passive. Like she always joked, I'm gonna get you like a set bedroom and airports and a hospital. Because I used to be in the hospital all the time

when I was young. Like I was again, a monster. So I ended up every other day at the hospital. Oh my goodness. Just like playground injuries? Yeah, like if I went down the laundry list of injuries, just starting by my head, you'd be shocked. Like broken nose at 11, broken chin at one year old.

I, like you can see I slid open my forehead, broke my head. This is a table, like two through my teeth. Like I, my mom used to joke I'd be like standing and then I'd be on the floor. She's like, how? How? You're just standing there, how?

Yeah, I was. For those who are only listening and not watching, we should let you know that Eiza does look like a Frankenstein. I do. Just stitches everywhere. To be honest, I gotta be honest, I think your Wikipedia picture's pretty good for...

You just looked at it again, yeah. It's, I mean, it's kind of real. It's how I feel, like, I look like. I'm like, that's how I feel sometimes. Did you ever take vacations that were just vacations, or were they all based on work? I didn't. I really didn't take that many vacations,

which was like, when I take them, it feels so foreign to me. Because my experience with travel is connected to work. And by the way, they were family trips because I was underage, so it was with my mother. So there was a very strange dynamic because I'd go with my mother on a plane and she was mothering me the way that any child would be mothered on a trip.

But then I'd go on stage and then sing in front of thousands of people. And then there was such a real strange relationship with travel for many years for me because also I was off and on, off and on a plane. I didn't really get to know these places and like explore. And so my relationship with travel was quite connected to work forever. And so once in a while, we had a family trip recently, actually when we filmed Ash,

because we filmed it in New Zealand. And so on the way back, I wanted to go to the islands, and so we went together, and I hadn't taken a family vacation trip probably, my god, since I was like, maybe under 10, like with my mother, we're just on a vacation like laying by the. So did she meet you in the islands?

And it was just the two of you? She came with me, we were in New Zealand the whole time that I was filming the movie, she came with me to enjoy New Zealand. I didn't, but she did. But she did. She toured the entire time, she had my driver driving her to Pihai, like she saw all the beauty

of New Zealand, I saw none. Did she take your pictures at least? Yeah, she was like, I'll Photoshop you into these. She would like just do clean shots and have you like Photoshopped in the front. Because I will say, and again, this is knowledge only I have because Josh won't watch the trailer.

It didn't seem like you had many days off on Ash. No, I did not. I didn't see, I realized towards the end of the shoot, I was quite pale and I felt malnourished. And it sounds strange, but I just felt like depleted and I couldn't understand why. And then I realized I hadn't seen sun in months because I would go in Crocodile to set and so it was pitch black

and then I'd leave at night and then it was like on repeat forever and then we were like on weekend shoots most of the time and then I didn't see the sun and it was also winter so it's raining. So I was actually pretty ill towards the end and I was like oh I've been in a pitch black planet for two months straight. I don't even remember this stuff.

You should know your agent when they called the director, said, you know, she used to work in a closet. She's really good at- She's used to this. She's very used to this. She's not gonna complain. It's the most comfortable, yeah, space she works in. So it's really, I mean, again,

now we're really getting to monster, the fact that you were just inside all day and your mom's just like driving around, enjoying, just dealing. And I'm just like jealous. I'm like the only time I'd see her was via FaceTime. I'd be like, that seems fun, Mom. Did you get, all right, did your mom have her own place

to stay over the course of the shoot or were you guys? No, she was with me. All right, but like same. I'm Mexican. I'm Mexican. So what does that mean? Does that mean same house or? Yeah. Okay, great. I mean that would, that makes sense. I would do that with my Mexican. So what does that mean? Does that mean same house or... Yeah. Okay, great. I mean, that would... That makes sense. I would do that.

You would do that? My mom, too, yeah. If my mom came to New Zealand. Do you guys live with your parents? Do you both live with your parents still? We don't. We don't. We don't. But we would. You would?

Yeah, I would. Where are your parents from? They're in New Hampshire, but they one grew up in Massachusetts, one grew up in Pittsburgh. But now they live... Oh, Pittsburgh. they live in the house we grew up. Which is in now New Hampshire. And do you guys go visit?

I just went. I just went twice in 10 days, because I had to bring, I brought my daughter to surprise them, and then one of my sons wanted to go surprise them. So I've spent some time back in New Orleans. And I was there just before he brought those kids. So I was there a couple of weeks ago., so I was there a couple weeks ago. Where do you live, Josh?

Los Angeles. Oh, okay. Do you like it there? It's very far from, yeah, you're like sunshine. Where's home for you now, Issa? I don't know. Okay, gotcha. Well, you did say you bought a house.

Yeah, so I hope the realtor told you where it was. Yeah, I think it's in Los Angeles. Okay, okay. No, I don't know because of the fires after the fires, it got really dicey. Yeah, we got really close. We got really, really, really close. I'm so happy.

I'm so happy, okay. Thank God, and I had just moved. It was really sad. I had been in that house for two weeks, and when I got evacuated, I was like, and it was kind of sad, you know, because it was my dream home. Like I'd always, I'd been waiting to find

like that forever home. I'd really wanted to make sure that when I sort of got something new, I was like that place that, you know, you think about it like where I'm gonna probably get pregnant and eventually have kids and like the beginning of that stage of my life. And so I was so in love with my house. Like I finally took me two years, two and a half years to find the house. And then I got evacuated and it was really, you know, that whole process was really, really sad and devastating. And I feel so, so much, I'm so lucky and so grateful that we sort of were able to survive

that and just so depleted. And so when, for what happened, so when it happened, I, my house has a couple of rooms and I just gave it away for people that needed homes because I'm on my own. And so I moved to a small apartment in New York City and then I gave away my my house to people that had children and schools and stuff while they resettled their lives. But now I'm back because of family reasons and so it's kind of been nice to be in LA and kind of help away as much as we can. That's very nice you did that. When was the first time you came to the States? Funny enough, I'm in Austin, Texas right now. Yep, South by Southwest.

Yeah, I'm in South by Southwest. This is where I moved the first time. So I lived in Austin for a short of three years. Okay. And it's my favorite city in the U.S. It's amazing. It's great. It's a cool town. Yeah, it's great to come and see it.

It's changed so much since I moved here. I moved here, sorry, to your question. I moved here in 2000 and I booked my first job and in like three days I moved to Austin in 2014. So it's been 10 years now, so 11. Wow. Yeah. Did you spend any time in New York City? When you were young?

I went to school. I went to school to Lee Strasburg. So I, yeah. So in between Mexico City and me moving to Argentina, I really wanted to work on my acting. Cause the sort of way that I ended up acting was so, yeah, it was sort of, that I ended up acting was so, yeah, it was sort of, it just happened.

And it happened really quickly. I decided I wanted to be an actress, like right after my father passed, I sort of fell in love with musical theater because my mom put me in a ton of extracurricular classes to keep me, maintain me sort of mentally busy. And one of them was musical theater. And I'd been singing since I was eight, but I'd never acted.

And so, it was just imminent. I was just, I was like, we need to go. I got a drop out of school. And I don't know how I brainwashed my mother into convincing her that that was it. I was like, yeah, you know, I'm 12. I really know what I want. I'm clearly an adult and, you know,

know exactly what I should be doing with my life and quit school and full-time dedicate to acting. She was like, you know what, let's go. Let's do it. And so she did. And then I went to acting school and then six months into going to acting school, I booked my first job.

And it was like this big sort of Cinderella type of film, type of show. And then it was like on the go. So by the time that I sort of finished this back to back to back to back jobs, I was like, I really want to work more in my acting. I haven't really had the opportunity. I learned in trial of error while filming

and I didn't feel really safe in that space. So then I moved to New York city. I auditioned cause Strasburg doesn't give a lot of a foreign, well, I don't know if it's changed, but foreign students a scholarship. They just give four or five a year. And so you have to audition because they have to issue your visa. And so I had to audition to get into the school and luckily I did.

And so then between my touring life of my second or third album, I don't even remember, I slammed my classes. So I go to school from Monday to Thursday, and then I'd tour. I was like the real-life Hannah Montana. I was going to school, and then a pop star on the side. But I was a Mexican pop star, so I was in America. So my classmates didn't really understand. They were like, wait, you are famous?

And I was like, yeah, you know, it's very strange and I feel kind of embarrassed because, you know, no one knew who I was. You sound like someone's made up girlfriend where they're like, hey, where's that girl you're dating? Oh, she's not here on weekends. She's a Mexican pop star. She's a pop star.

She's a pop star from Mexico. You wouldn't know her. She's cool. Hey, we're gonna take a quick break and hear from some of our sponsors. This episode of Family Trips is brought to you by our friends at Maker's Mark. Hey, Pashi.

business where she trains people and rides horses and she works her tail off. It's really something else. Also, Margie, shout out, original designer behind the iconic red wax dip. Yep.

So I've had to sleep in your bed with one of my children twice in the last month. This is your childhood bed. New Hampshire bed. Yeah. And this is not a terrible mattress that you had. Mm-hmm. You know, it wasn't like, you know, burlap sack filled with hay or anything. Right. It was a nice mattress. But I slept there first time with Addie.

Had a terrible night's sleep. A little bit, I would say, is the mattress. The other, Addie slept on my head like she was a hat. But then, you know, and look, I'll be honest, it was because of the podcast sponsorship, got our hands on a Helix mattress. You mentioned it to mom and dad, and they said, oh, we'll replace your mattress.

So the next time I go back with Axel, the Helix mattress. Oh yeah. You mentioned it to mom and dad, and they said, oh, we'll replace your mattress. So the next time I go back with Axel, I get to sleep on the Helix mattress in total game changer. Huge leap. Huge leap. It's, I also, I mean, I don't even want to guess how long that mattress has been around that is in the childhood bedroom, but it was time.

It was time, yeah. And the Helix mattresses, they're such a wide selection, and there's a sleep quiz that you take on their website, you know, are you a back sleeper, side sleeper, stomach sleeper? I wouldn't even think that's a good idea, but some people are, I guess. And they've got mattresses of varying firmnesses, and you sort of go through this easy series of questions, easy because you know you. Yeah, don't think you're going to flunk the sleep quiz. Yeah, no, don't be. I think some people hear quiz and they panic, but don't worry, you're going to be fine.

Don't be intimidated by it, because it's gonna find you the perfect mattress for you to get you a better night's sleep, because what is more important than that? And I have one of these sleep trackers, and the morning after my first Helix, never had them before, the sleep tracker actually, when I opened it, it just said, some change, dog.

Oh, wow. Yeah. So familiar. Well, I've had dog. Oh wow. Yeah. So familiar. Well, I've had it for a while. Yeah. Go to helixsleep.com slash trips for 20% off site wide. That's helixsleep.com slash trips for 20% off site wide. Helixsleep.com slash trips. Were you worried when you told your mom

you wanted to be an actor that she would say you have to follow her unfulfilled dream of being an orthodontist? You know what? My mom was the cool one. So my dad was a strict one in the family. He was hell bent into making me a lawyer or, you know, he really wanted to fulfill his dreams through me. And so like perfect example, like language was something really important in my house.

And it's not because we were, you know, he just was like, I didn't get this opportunity, so I want my kids to do so. So I wasn't allowed to speak Spanish at home. It was all English 24 seven because he wanted me to go to the best university. So he was really like that father was like very strict. How was he? Did he speak English?

Yeah, I was wondering. Yes, his English wasn't as really as good as mine is. And that's what he wanted for him. For his daughter, you know, I was his only child. And so, and his relationship with family was very complicated from his mother. Like he was the only, my mom had, my grandmother had like 10 miscarriages

and he was the only baby that was there. And so I think that really sort of seeped into him. And as a father wanted like me to have the best life and the best, like, cause he felt like he had a lot of pressure from his mother from that experience. And so he didn't, you know, have an amazing education nor did my mother, but they were like hustlers, you know? They were self-made parents.

Like my mom made her success. No one gave it to her. And my dad wanted me to do the same. And so by the time that I was 10, I spoke four languages. And it was all about education in my house. And he was very strict. And so when he passed, my mom was the one that'd be like, I'm gonna take you to singing classes,

don't tell your father. And so she would take me to the artistic stuff because she could see it in my soul. Like I was, since I was two, I was like singing all day long. Really, people don't know, but my first love was music and singing. And I was singing and singing, so she'd see it in me. And once my dad died, you know, my mother changed me from school because I was in a really strict school, and I was an artistic kid.

So I was really not doing well in school. I couldn't, I was awkward. I was into artists, artistic stuff. I didn't fit in. It was a very scholar school. And she switched me into an English, like British English school that, you know, there's a lot of theater in these schools. And that's where I found my love for theater. It started there and then I started doing extracurricular classes and then it's all history from there. Yeah. What are the other two languages you speak? Italian I speak. First Spanish, then English, then Italian,

and then French, like in that order. Pretty amazing. Well done. When you finished shooting Ash. Well done, Dad. When you finished shooting Ash. Well done, Dad. When you finished shooting Ash and you went to the islands with your mom, which islands did you go to?

Bora Bora. Okay. Is it Bora Bora? Yeah, Bora Bora's on the way. I think so, yeah. Yes, I'm confusing if it's, yeah, it's Bora Bora. We went to Bora Bora. It was amazing.

I'd never been there. I was like, whoa. I've only seen pictures. Were you on those houses on stilts above the water? Yes. Yes. Yes. It was unbelievable. I remember, you know, I've always wanted to go to Thailand. That was kind of my dream to go to Thailand

or to go to Bora Bora or the Maldives. And we were like, that flight from New Zealand to LA is insane. It's like a billion years. And I said, why don't we break it up and go to Bora Bora? We were like, that flight from New Zealand to LA is insane. It's like a billion years. And I said, why don't we break it up and go to Bora Bora? And she's like, say less, let's go. She was like, we're going. My mom doesn't take a lot, you know, she was like, sure.

And we went and it was incredible. And it was the first time, but again, I hadn't taken a vacation in such a long time. So I found myself very awkward. Like I was like, so what do we do today? And she's like, lay by the beach. I was like, wait, but do we, is there, like I just didn't feel even comfortable doing nothing.

I hadn't done it in fricking ages. So it was amazing. It was really soothing for the soul and I really enjoyed it. You should go. It's really worth it. Did you take any like very unique island excursions? Like were you scuba diving or were you taking like a... Yes.

Yeah. What was your... Full on tourist. Full on tourist. Yeah. Like swimming with sharks and then, you know, scuba diving and I, you. And I love jet skis. So I went sort of to see all the hotels around the area. And it's just such a beautiful,

I mean, Planet Earth really is surreal to me. I had the chance to, after Ash, go film back-to-back movies where I was like, I mean, the fact that we get to travel for work and go to these places is unbelievable. Like I went from New Zealand to the Canary Islands, from the Canary Islands to Bangkok, from Bangkok to Vienna, from Vienna to Egypt,

and then from Egypt to the UK, and like all around the UK. It's just, I was like, that was his fan. I feel like not a lot of actors get those six in a row. No, no. When you say we're so lucky, you're not including me in that. Yeah, I'm sorry. You and your mom, I think.

I know a lot of people are like, I was in Vancouver, then I was in Toronto, then I was in Atlanta, right? I was in Culver City. All lovely places. None of those are like, you know, the families that were like, we're taking a big vacation. Summer vacation to Toronto.

We'll go to the next one. Yeah, yeah, they skip it. But now I'm a little heartbroken for you because again, as we've established, you get to go to these amazing places. Did you get to experience any of those other places more than you experienced New Zealand? Yes, I did. I did because I was smart,

and I took a job that didn't take so many days off me and these locations. So, you know, I left. I was shooting this movie called Fountain of Youth with Guy Ritchie and John Krasinski and Natalie Portman. And so the cast is pretty big, so we kind of took turns. So I feel like John and Natalie sort of didn't get to see anything,

and I got to do the whole, and be like... And I kind of go... Where was that one? Where was that shoot? It was all of those places. Oh, that was all those places. So we shot in Bangkok, Vienna, Egypt. And so, I mean, how incredible. I went to do all the water market in Thailand.

I went to Koh Samui. By the way, I happened to be shooting at the same time as White Lotus. And so they were in Koh Samui and I was in Bangkok. And a few friends of mine are in the show. And they're like, what are you doing this weekend? I was like, I don't know, I'm just in Bangkok. They're like, flight to Koh Samui. We have the four seasons for seven months.

Do you want a cabana? I was like, yes. By the way, that's one of the most sort of hard hotels to get in in the world. And I pulled up and I was at the White Lotus. I would wake up and go swimming and sit the White Lotus everywhere. And it was pretty surreal,

because Samui is one of the coolest places I've ever been, which is in Thailand. Should we look in the background of this season of White Lotus? I kept saying to Mike White and everyone, I was like, can I just be like tree number 45 in the back and just, it'd be funny, you know, when they do that in Star Wars,

like they know that, you know, Ryan Johnson was in it. I was like, I'm not Ryan Johnson, nor am I important in any capacity, but I will happily be in the back of a scene, but no, I didn't, sadly. They're like, no, you're sad. I took a solo backpacking trip, and I was in Koh Samui, and it was not. Did you like it?

It was the worst trip of my life, maybe. Yeah. What? I got ripped off. Food poisoning. I got sick. I was sunburned. He also took the trip

because somebody had broken up with him. Uh-huh. Oh no! So it was a bad scene. And I sort of just went with my backpack and no plans, except I was gonna go Bangkok, Koh Samui, Koh Tao, and it was a bad scene. I was not at the Four Seasons, I will tell you that.

Oh, I'm so sorry. You should have called me. Yeah, I know. I would have taken you to question. Hypothetically, if you had a bad breakup, are you the kind of person that would say, well, I think we've established you're not because you take one vacation every 25 years.

But would you say like, you know what? It was a bad breakup, but I'm gonna go by myself to a foreign country for a week. Are you somebody who thinks that sounds like a good idea? Because I don't. Well, you're about to change your mind because it can be a really good idea. By the way, I commend you for doing that, Josh,

because it is... I'll tell you a story that'll blow your mind, and you'll be like... It'll make you rethink this. So when I was in Mexico, and I was like in the public eye, I was really young, I had this boyfriend, and then this boyfriend, to really power through this, cheated on me with a sex tape. Oh no? And it came out, it came out, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.

And it came out in the cover of the magazines, and I went- The sex tape was released. Yes. Oh boy. Yeah, and then so it came out in the magazines, and I was so distraught. I took a trip, like Josh,

and I was like, I need to hide under a rock. I couldn't with like the pain that I was kind of going through. And so I went to LA, that was the first place I could think of it was like what's the first place I can fly to That I kind of knew a little bit about this is Think about this is like 2021. Okay, doesn't and I'm 21. It's 2011. Okay, and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna leave and so I leave to LA and I'm sort of like doing nothing for a week I rented that there was this landscaper that was,

this is way before Airbnb, there was this landscaper that was renting one bedroom of her house to a friend of mine. And I called my friend, I was like, I just need a place to stay. He's like, you can crash that place, whatever. To make this long story short, I was there for like two weeks doing nothing.

And at one point my mother was like, you're completely useless, what are you doing? And I said- Monster. Monster. And I go, I'm just sobbing profusely over this situation. And she said, you gotta stop this. You have to stop this.

You have to go do something. She's like, go audition or something. I was like, what do you mean audition, mother? There is a process. There's an agent. There's like, go audition or something. I was like, what do you mean audition, mother? There is a process. There's an agent. There's a manager. There's a lawyer. That's a really funny mom thing to say. Go audition. I'm like, yeah, go audition. And she goes, you know, I have a friend, like this is full Latin mom. Oh no, I have a friend of a friend of a friend that told me about this thing.

It's IMDB Pro. I'm just going to put an email there. We're going to make it work. I was like, sure, mom. I like that you had a friend of a friend of a friend who knew about IMDB. Yeah, because we're like from Mexico. We know nothing about IMDB. It's like a friend of Miami, you know, that kind of vibe. And so, long story short, somehow my mother,

my mother, monster, finds an audition, and then I go into this audition, and I audition, and I audition, and then eventually don into this audition, and I audition, and I audition, and then eventually don't get it. And I'm like, oh, well, that was fine, whatever, moving back to, that's a fun story. Mind you, I was auditioning for Star Wars the entire time, didn't even know, had no clue because they just, I think they do this wide search and they kind of look at who's from other parts of the world because they love to discover people.

And so they saw this girl, they're like, anyway, that goes away. I don't get it. Move back to Mexico. Fun times, great story to tell my children. And then I get a phone call from my flip phone. I had like a flip, like I had to buy, because I didn't have a social security.

So I had to buy like a phone from the 7-Eleven. And I get like, and my little red flip the 7-eleven and I get like and my little red flip phone I remember and I'm like hello it's like hi who's this and she's like Mary Vernue I'm like who? Oh yeah. She's like I'm Mary Vernue and I'm like okay. Yeah big casting director. She's like I'm the casting director in LA she's like I got your number from IMDB Pro. Glenda, my mother, knew. She's like, I want you to audition for this TV show with Robert Rodriguez. And I was like, okay.

I read for it, booked it in two days. It all stemmed from the sex tape and the trip that I ran. So I guess what you're saying is he was a good boyfriend. He was an amazing boyfriend. I saw him years later and I thanked him. Did you really? Yes. That's really great.

I came back, I was shooting this show in Mexico, and it was the best. It was a big ego rug for me. I was like, yeah. I wouldn't have been here. I wouldn't have been here without you. And I said thank you so much for cheating on me. It was the best thing you could ever do. And the bummer is, I don't want to think this reflects

on his sex tape, but IMD Pro, no calls. No calls. Never reached out after seeing it. No calls. So next time, Josh, you never know. I commend the you never know. Like from a heartbreak, you can go to movies in Hollywood I guess that's I looking back on your trip to Thailand Josh. You probably should have just auditioned more

Yeah, I can connect you with my mother by the way. Yeah, I believe if I blame anyone I blame my mother Or our mother right? Yeah, where were you? Where was the IMDB pro? By the way the whole time he was in Thailand, my mom was calling me being like, well, it's not going well. Yeah. And you're like, well, he's pretty far. I can't do anything to help this out. Yeah, I was going to internet cafes and emailing them.

And I was basically saying it is not going well. Yeah. Which only made everyone more uneasy. At what point of the trip did you realize maybe it's time, like I've had enough not going well emails that I should go back. Like what point did it- I remember I went back to Bangkok early

and I was like, you know, just gonna wait out my time there. And I checked into a higher level hotel than I had been in which was still not a great hotel. But I went to this hotel and then I just like sat by the pool and I was like, I'm just gonna take it easy. And that's when I got super sunburned. I remember going to see Pearl Harbor in a movie theater because it was a long movie and they were gonna have

air conditioning and it was gonna feel nice on my burnt skin. And then I like, I bought a ring. I like these, they like sell blue sapphires and there's people like took took drivers for her. Just, no, just for, to like, to, no, to then be able to sell and make more money. And then I like, I was living in Amsterdam at the time and I went to this jeweler and I went in and they're like, we're not a South,

like we're a diamond city. And they were, I was like, yeah, I bought this blue Sapphire ring. And they were like, were you in Thailand? And they were like, ugh. And this guy was like, well, he did say, I will say this was very good advice from this jeweler in Amsterdam, at Schippers and Schippers.

But he said, if this is the worst thing that ever happens to you, consider yourself a very lucky man. Oh, bless him. And how do you feel after that? Was he correct? I mean, if, yeah, if that was the, I mean, I feel like worst stuff has happened to me, but if that was the worst,

then I would have been very lucky. You know you've had a bad trip to Thailand when the highlight is you saw Pearl Harbor in theaters. Yeah, I guess. You totally know there was a non-successful. If you're gonna see Pearl Harbor, you gotta see it in Thailand. In Thailand. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a successful trip. I'm really sorry, Josh. Have we recovered from that heartbreak? We have. I mean, do you feel even worse now that you started by telling the story about how your

breakup trip launched your career? Which should we have told you, Josh, is first, and then maybe you would have tapped the brakes on, like, it's great. I can't say enough about a breakup trip. Yeah, I love it. I mean, listen, you got to make the best of what you have. You know? Make lemonade.

Can you, very briefly, and then we have to ask our spree round. But Buenos Aires is a city I've always wanted to go to. Did you love Buenos Aires? My favorite city to live in. Yeah. My favorite city to live in. I mean, when I got there, I couldn't believe.

Just Argentina, right? Argentina is, like, one of the most impressive pieces of land in the world because within the same place you have all the tundras. You can go to the desert, you have the triple frontier, you have close to Punta del Este, the water, then you have the glaciers. It's like, it's, it's, you, you, you, in one trip to Argentina, you can go everywhere. And you can see, like, I don't know if you've ever seen the glaciers in Argentina, but it's

unbelievable. And then you go to the other side of Argentina, it's like the triple frontier and obviously the water. It's just, and then Buenos Aires is one of the cities with most life I've ever seen. Like, during the day, during the night, like the nightlife is pretty fun. The nightlife starts at like three in the morning. Like you go to dinner at-

I was gonna ask about that. I'm very concerned about that. Yeah, you go to dinner- I feel like I missed my window. Yeah, I'd be sleeping through the nightlife. Yeah, you'd be like, no, but really like the food, the, you know, but really like the food, the, you know, you have all the meats that they eat there.

I actually kind of became vegetarian there because the overwhelming amount of meat sort of made me slightly sick. I think, yeah, I feel like the way to say it is like, the meat was so good, I can't even eat it anymore. Yeah, that's because I did. I ate so much, so much meat. It was like, you had Parrilla Argentina

every single day, moment of the day. And they have the Fernet. I have some of the most interesting drinks I've ever had. Fernet, which is like a typical drink. You have it like with Coca-Cola. And I really got into mate, and I now drink mate a lot. But yeah, I became like, I, Argentina has a big place in my heart too,

because it's the first place I ever moved on my own completely. And I was 18, imagine I'm 18. I'm doing this Nickelodeon show. By the way, I'm like during the day being like a child star, but during night I'm like, whoa, I'm like, I'm like completely unhinged because I'm like a teenager living the life. They gave me an apartment, a car. I was like, damn, this is swanky.

Like, and it was in the city that never sleeps. So I love Argentina. You've kind of almost always been Hannah Montana, it sounds like. I have. Yeah. I have. You're like double life the whole time. And that show that I was doing was that premise

that in Argentina, I was Hannah Montana in was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like,

I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I. Yeah, Roxy Pop and I wear like pink wigs. Yeah dude, I've got a girlfriend, her name's Roxy Pop. Roxy Pop. Yeah, by the way, I always thought if that's not sort of really telling that I'm not a real human, my name could never be Roxy Pop. Like, how did, I also kind of look exactly the same. I've always thought of these things in these shows, but I was like, this thing. There are some, for all the great work they do, there are some plot holes in the Nickelodeon oeuvre.

What is your favorite means of transportation? Train, plane, automobile, boat, bike, jet ski, walking? Boat. Boat. Great. This one gets a little trickier. If you could take a vacation with any family, alive or dead, real or fictional, other than your family,

what family would you like to take a vacation with? Oh, the Kardashians. Yeah. Great. That's a good answer. Have you had to be a vacation with? Oh, the Kardashians. Yeah, that's a good answer.

Eiza, have you been to the Grand Canyon? Never, dying to go. Do you want to go? Yes. You're dying to go, okay. It does seem like the only way you'll go is if you get booked on a show that takes place there. In the mountain. So if anybody's writing a script, either a movie script or a limited series,

Eiza would love to shoot there. Ideally, maybe third on the call sheet so she has time to look around. So I can have, thank you. You're really pitching this the right way. You know what you're saying. Yeah, I mean, she doesn't want a small part, but obviously she doesn't want to be in every scene.

But small enough that I don't have to work, yes. Right. Iza, what a pleasure to meet you and talk to you. This has been a delight. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, guys. Have a wonderful day. All right talk to you. This has been a delight. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, guys. Have a wonderful day. All right.
