And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba? Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami?

Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Look, Matt. Oh, I see. Wow. Bowen, look over there. Wow, is that culture? Yes.

Oh, my goodness. Wow. Las Culturistas. Ding Wow. Las Culturistas. Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling. Today, we're taking you on a journey with our newest episode, which is a bonus episode. First of all, happy new year. Happy new year.

We made it. Bite the skin of our teeth. 2024, lots of promise this year. Well, lots of room for disaster as well. I always have to, you know. Bring us right down to earth. Bring us down to earth. This is life.

It's the balance. It's the joy. It's the pain. Speaking of earth and speaking of enjoying and also experiencing things, today we have an amazing list. And this list will test us because this actually is not a list of things we've experienced prior. This is a thing we'd want to experience in the future. Absolutely.

It's an aspirational list. These are the top 10 places we would love to visit. Now, this is very specific to us. As all of these lists have been, we don't expect you to agree. This is not about places that you would love to visit. It's places that we would love to visit. Yeah, and if you're anything like us

and feel like-minded, maybe you'll agree. Maybe we'll see you there. Number 10. Big Sur. I mean, I don't really know what to expect. I don't know what it is. But people say it.

People say Big Sur. Yeah. People say Big Sur. Yeah, they say Big Sur. Should we actually literally Google Big Sur right now? I want you to Google it, and I want you to tell me. I want you to tell me what it is. Okay, Big Sur. I've just heard so much about it. It feels like someplace that was like, oh, wow.

Why is it called that? This is a rugged stretch of California's central coast between Carmel and San Simeon. Let's look at some images. Oh, I love Carmel in pictures. Can I say, I thought Big Sur was going to be like... A desert. No, I thought Big Sur was like in another part of the world.

Oh, no, Big Sur's in California. Look at this. Look at these pictures. That's really pretty. Oh, my God. Would you... I mean, this doesn't change anything, right? We would still love to visit.

This is Big Little Lies vibes. It's very, you know, Carmel by the Sea. It's very Monterey. It's very that. Wow. Maybe by then we'll have news on Big Little Lies Season 3, which you've seen Nicole Kidman teased it. Shake the wig, honey.

Shake the wig. And go. Shake the wig and go to set. We have more iconography to shoot. Probably just around the corner from us, when we're vacationing at number 10 on our list of top 10 places we would love to visit. Las Colch.

Number nine. Thailand. Now, what I don't want to do is go there and ride an elephant because they say this is the last thing you should be doing in Thailand. A guy I used to really like did that. Got on the back of an elephant? And I think he sent me a video of it.

And I thought, wow, isn't that sweet? But now I know. Disgusting behavior. Disgusting behavior. And probably you couldn't even find it within yourself to confront him because you were so digmatized. I was so digmatized, besotted. And I thought, I'll let this man do anything

and get away with it all. But no, I should have drawn the line at riding an elephant from go. I think that let this be a lesson to all of us that if someone's digmatizing you they're gonna be riding on they would ride an elephant no question and not have a second thought about it and that's not someone you deserve as someone who's been digmatized in the past i can't say that i wouldn't have risen up in that moment and said, hey, get off that elephant. I think that I would have been so

digmatized and so adrift that I would not have been able to stand up for what is right. Which is don't get anywhere near those things. I am really looking at myself harder than the mirror right now, proverbially, because there isn't one around.

There's a reflective surface. Can you see yourself? No. I'll have to save this for later. But for now, number nine on

our list of places we would love to visit is Thailand. On our list of top ten places we would love to visit,

Las Colch. I don't think we're spending enough time per entry and this might be a very short episode. You know what? It's going to be what it's going to be.

That's the beauty of travel. We do have to make this a certain length as you know. I think that's one thing that is true about us is we often are going on way too long and don't realize it. But we have historically

peeked behind the curtain, struggled with meeting the episode minimum. That's literally not true. Every time. I'm saying with these bonus episodes. The last two we did were 45 minutes. But I think we did one that was like 19 and that was literally right under the 20 minute mark. Can I tell you what?

I'm really not worried about it now that we've spent this time sort of between numbers 9 and 8. I think we're making up for 9 and 10. I think we're really, you know. Number 8. Wonkaville. Wonkaville. Well, first of all, if I didn't want to visit it

from the first movie, I definitely want to visit it now. Everything looks so candy colored coated. Now, is WonkaVille the town? I don't think the town was called WonkaVille. I guess it's the Wonka Factory. The Wonka Factory. Can you tell I'm the one that put this on the list?

WonkaVille? WonkaVille. I think they were just in a nondescript town. Yeah, and there was the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory in the town. Yes. And he was kind enough to invite some people to come visit it.

After all the horrors you've seen that were displayed and portrayed in the films, do you want to go there? Yeah, because I think I would be a little bit smarter than Ms. Veruca Salt, Mr. Higginbotham, or whatever his name was. Mr. Higginbotham? Who was the guy, the one

who gets stuck? Augustus Gloop? Yeah, Mr. Higginbotham. Mike was the guy, the one who gets stuck? Augustus Gloop? Yeah, Mr. Higabotham. Mike TV. Mike TV. Violet Beauregard. I was always very annoyed by Mike TV. It's like, girl.

I think you, you as a kid was giving Mike TV. Maybe it's because I saw myself in him. And who do you think I was? Who do I think you were? Veruca.

You're a little Veruca-ish, for sure. Miss Veruca Salt. That's definitely you at times. Or I'll scream. That's a good Veruca. Lauren? That one's got a Veruca.

I think WonkaVille is really scary. And I would love to visit. I don't think it is undeserving of a spot on this list. I just think we have to be careful. Yeah, yeah. Because guess what? There was obvious financial disparity there, too. Let's just say it.

Let's just say it. I mean, everyone in that town was piss poor, and there was Wonka, Willie, if you're nasty, living truly large and sort of in this glamorous home while people out there were really struggling. And also, I'm sorry, but we have to say something about the fact that like, are the Oompa Loompas empowered or are they in servitude? I'm sorry to have to bring it up.

I think the Oompa Loompas are unionized at the very least. They better be unionized. Otherwise, we need to get Fran on the case. Because what I have to say is I don't think that they're making

what they should be making. I think Willy Wonka has been in that building with these people for so long that it is probably, it is probably a very... There is no class agitation or anything.

It's been pretty stable. Wow, you're really going to the mat for Willie. I'm not. I'm just saying the Oompa Loompas seem taken care of. You're pathetic. No. You're pathetic. No. You're pathetic. You want to fuck Timothy after working with him

and now you're pro Willy Wonka who is at the very least a problematic figure. I don't deny that. But I do deny whatever relationship Timothy and I have is completely professional. Yeah, that's what they all say in Hollywood.

All of you trying to fuck each other. It's such a disgusting industry. I seriously, like, I can't even talk about how disgusting and nasty Hollywood is. Everyone's in each other's holes and in each other's pockets. Honey, you have taken it from

people in the industry more than I have. Let's be honest. Taken it from people in the industry. And you have. Let's be honest. Taken it from people in the industry. And you've given it. I know this. Listen, bitch. To bring this back. Don't do this while we're talking about.

To bring this back, talk to the hands. Talk to the hands. How did a conversation about wanting to visit Wonkaville, which is not the name of the place, lead to these accusations, lead to this vitriol, this venom. You're a whore. And all this is why we want to visit the top 10 places.

That's why Wonkville is number eight. And the top 10 places we would love to visit. Las Colt. We'll be right back. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists.

We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer, and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger.

I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that, like years of work. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,

I'm a mom, and I'm a woman. I'm Tarika Foster-Brasby, journalist, sports reporter, basketball analyst, a wife, and I'm also a woman. And on our new podcast, we're talking about the real obstacles women face day to day. See, athlete or not, we all know it takes a lot as women to be at the top of our game.

We want to share those stories about balancing work and relationships, motherhood, career shifts, you know, just all the s*** we go through. Because no matter who you are, there are levels to what we experience as women. And T and I, well, we have no problem going there. Listen to Levels to This with Shro Smoops and Tarika Foster-Brasby, an iHeart Women's Sports production

in partnership with Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment. You can find us on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Number seven, this one's so real. Epic Universe! This is Universal Epic Universe.

It will open in 2025. I would love to visit. It has four lands. This is all rumored. Nintendo World, Dark Universe, which is the monsters of Universal. A third, Harry Potter Land, Wizarding World. And How to Train Your Dragon. It will also have a garden area that's also themed to space called Celestial Park

with a dueling roller coaster. There will be a hotel that lines the back of the park. That hotel looks huge. It looks very big, darling, dear. It will have a Bellagio-style fountain. By the way, Rikita's case opens aside. Matt is just saying this, rattling this off

off the top of his head. He's not looking at any document or work. One thing about me is one of my favorite things to do is to watch a YouTube construction update of the Epic Universe Park.

This is your little bit of neurodivergence, I think. 100%. My little bit of neurodivergence is that I like to watch theme parks being built. That is giving, like, you would have loved the trains if you were born 20 years before. I think I would have loved the trains.

In fact, I remember being little, even at my own big age, and I loved the trains. I loved bridges. Bridges? I would have been a civil engineer if things had not. If you hadn't been so talented. If I wasn't gifted with this gift. Yeah, if you weren't so good at fucking navigating the cock-hungry business that we're in. By the way, I could stand to have more sex with people in the business.

I think that would make a lot of sense for me. It's just that I'm not presented with those opportunities. SNL is a very straight place. Who is a gay power player in Hollywood that you want to throw it out right now that you want to have sex with to further your career? No, I'm kidding. Cut that out.

Beep that. No, don't cut it out. Just beep it. I want everyone to be so thirsty about the actor we just outed. No. No, just kidding. It's more like an open secret. Now your turn.

Well, Tim Cook. Oh, we love Tim. Put it in my butt. All right. That's why Epic Universe is number seven on the list of places we would absolutely love to visit. Lost Couch, number six. Madrid. Speaking of sex.

Lots of it happens there. A lot of it happens there. I think I've told the story many times of the time that I had a layover there. And every person I passed was hotter than the one prior. And you had sex in the bathroom at the airport? Well, your sex is your sex. My sex is my

sex. There's nothing penetrative. Side values. It's hard to penetrate at the airport. Yeah, because everyone's so let's call it unwashed and in a rush. Unwashed and in a rush. I mean, God bless you if you are douching for the airport. Jesus.

If you are going, well, you never know. You don't ever know. And I certainly was not expecting to have an encounter in the Madrid airport when I went. Well, then you went on Grindr. So what were you expecting? Just to use it as a toy? It was like muscle memory. It was like, well, let's kill time. Oh, then you went on Grindr, so what were you expecting? Just to use it as a toy? Well, it was like muscle memory. It was like, well, let's kill time.

Oh, I'm on my phone. Yeah. Let's see what the grid is giving. And it gave. Lo and behold. God created. God created. But something about,

I don't mean to generalize, something about Spanish men. Sets you aflame. They're a very sexually unpretentious people. Sexually unpretentious, everyone. And we need more of that. Yeah, I get it. We need people to just

sex forward. If you're hot, go ahead and fuck everyone you see. There's no reason you shouldn't. That's actually huge to hear. That you are leading the charge. You say, everyone fuck. Everyone fuck.

This is problematic. I thought you just said it was powerful. Well, it was a trick. I can't win with you. Nope. I'm not even talking about Hollywood. I'm talking about Madrid, España. Okay, what about the food and the culture there?

The food is wonderful. Culture is wonderful culture is wonderful I mean I think Spain is really cute so cute I would love to go to Barcelona someday not on the list Madrid

Barcelona everyone's very everyone thinks they're you know Noah Galvin in in what is it Booksmart Barcelona everyone thinks they're you know Noah Galvin in in what is it Booksmart doing Barcelona Barcelona

yeah that's Noah's don't touch the Noah Galvin joke 100% everyone thinks they're Vicky Cristina Vicky Cristina

Barcelona flirtatious white women Madrid you just say it you can just you don't have to put any sauce on it

okay Madrid you can say Madrid and if you want to be a little fun you can just you don't have to put any sauce on it okay just say Madrid you can say Madrid and if you want to be a little fun you can go Madrid Madrid

Madrid Madrid but I think it's not like Barcelona have some respect for Barcelona okay and all this is why

Madrid is number 6 on our list of top 10 places we would love to visit. Lost Couch. Number five. Great Barrier Reef. Cut to me right before we started this episode. So excited about Great Barrier Reef.

And then you say what? I've actually been there. What the fuck? When I went to Australia a few years ago, we were in Cairns, Australia, and we took a boat to the Great Barrier Reef. It's really sad, actually. Did you take a piece of reef off of it? No, I would never. You killed it.

It's dying. It's so sad. So wait, when you say it's sad and it's devastating, you can see that it's dead? Yes! Explain it. It normally is pink, blue, turquoise, the most amazing colors you've ever seen in the water. Fish swimming by.

Oh my God, I just woke up to the craziest news this morning. What? Did you know that 99% of sea turtles are female? Because of climate change, warmer waters, and pollutants create molecules that mimic female expression genes for turtles. And so therefore, all of the turtles that are being born are girls. And so they are on the fast track to extinction. How can we avoid the subject of climate change

when talking about the Great Barrier Reef? I ask you. I am so shook. And here I was thinking that was some sort of girl boss movement. No, no, no. And to find out that this, it wasn't that the turtles were empowered by modern culture.

No. It was that there It's that humans... There's so many pollutants in the water. Humans have created an untenable situation with these turtles. The best case scenario is that these turtles are queer... Choreograph a dance.

Choreograph a dance. Beyonce is going to say, ladies. Turtles. And the turtles are going to go... Their one fin snaps to their side like pew pew that would be cunty

and they go um who run the world girls girls turtles are such beautiful animals and we

they have no hope we wish the best for them but all this is to say why the Great Barrier Reef is number five on our list of top ten places

we would love to visit. Lost Gulch. Number four. Asia. I don't know how to feel. But I'm gonna try. Talk about the top three places in Asia that you would take me. You've been there.

I've only been to one place in Asia. And I had a layover at the Seoul Incheon Airport, which doesn't count. But it's a very glamorous airport. Okay, so we're going to Asia for three days. Yes. One, two, three. What's our itinerary? Well, I would take us to...

These are places that I don't think I've been to either. Actually, I would take us to Beijing. There's lovely hutongs there. Food's great. There's apparently a very cool underground queer scene there. What? They're really rolling the dice. It kind of has to all be underground.

And then I want to go visit Taipei. Okay. Because a very fun queer culture there. One of the few queer cultures in Asia. That's like out and proud. Yes. Bucket list. I mean, by the way Asia includes Thailand which is already number nine on the list.

I would love to go to Thailand. I'm going to blow past my three. I want to go to Vietnam. There's great resorts there that I would want to visit. Yes. And then I would want to go to Jeju Korea. And then I would want to go to Vietnam. There's great resorts there that I would want to visit. And then I would want to go to Jeju, Korea. And then I would want to go to Tokyo and Osaka. I was waiting for you to say a Japanese place. Oh, that's my number one.

And I might have to book a trip solo there because I can't make people bend their schedules to my bad schedule in order to go to this place. And it might just be on me to go by myself. I think that if I could, I would accompany you there because I too want to go to Tokyo place and it might just be on me to go by myself i think that if i could i would accompany you there because i too want to go to tokyo talk about this dualipa was just there what did she say she had a great time i think that i would be nervous that if i got there i would bail on myself if i was there by myself because I was just in Bogota and I think the travel combined with like me not really understanding what to do and where to go like made me feel like paralyzed paralyzed and so I would need to be accompanied I could not go to

Japan by myself luckily that's why I have my sister by the way I don't speak the language I don't I've never been I never thought you did but I never said you did. We would be the blind leading the blind. But at least we'd be blind together. And all this is why Asia is number four on our top 10 places we would love to visit. Lost Gulch. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back. I love that. I love that. I love that.

Oh, my gosh. Welcome. And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg. You're recording us? I am disgusted. Never in a million years after everything we've been through did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy. We were friends. How could you do this to me?

Number three. Mary Todd Lincoln's childhood home. I would love to find out how she became Mary Todd. Yeah. You always hear about, oh, Abraham Lincoln, log cabin.

Constantly talking about him. I don't really care. I mean, if we have to erase the woman, I'm not interested. It's awful. It's just awful. Did you see the film, Lincoln? I did.

Sally was fabulous. You got the sense that Mary Todd was ahead of her time. One of the iconic beards. Oh, yeah. Abraham Lincoln, kind of iconically a gay guy. Gay guy vibes. But I need to go to her house. I want to see what dolls she played with.

I want to see, you know, the kettle she used to make tea. Yeah. You know, the video game she played. Yeah. I want to see, you know, the kettle she used to make tea. I want, you know, the video game she played. Yeah. I want to see it. I want to see what she got into. Who she mixed it up with. Get really to the bottom of this.

Because Mary Todd, she has a story to tell. You are a legend, girl. We remember you. And all this is why you sit at number three on our top ten places we would love to visit. Lost Couch. Number two. Hollywood! Famously, you live there.

I do live there. And I can tell you lots of guys wanted to stick it in. I knew you'd bring it back to this. I always bring it back to sex. That's because I've had to experience so much time in Hollywood, which is a sex crazed, deviant paradise. And everyone there has one thing on the mind. Filth. You love it. I love it

because you know what? The culture has toxified me. Then why do you make me feel bad? You made me feel bad about even wanting to engage. I, by the way, don't engage with that side of Hollywood. Because I'm toxic. I know that. I don't think you that side of Hollywood. Because I'm toxic. I know that. I don't think you should do this to me.

I'm toxic and I don't make any sense. You know, I live right by Universal Studios Hollywood, which is getting a Fast and the Furious roller coaster. They're doing construction on it. And you know that I know that because I've watched YouTube footage of the construction site as it develops. Neurodivergent queen. I am one of the most neurodivergent people that you could possibly listen to on a podcast. I don't know about that sentence.

I think, I think, I don't know how you would determine that. So let's just keep it in. A competition. Producer hats on. All this is to say, why Hollywood is number two on top 10 places we would love to visit. Lost Couch.

Before we get to number one, I'm telling you we've done a great job. What is our time right now? How long have we been recording you girls? Why is it difficult? Okay. I told you. Okay, all right. We've done difficult? Okay. I told you. Okay.

All right. We did incredible. Okay. And now, number one. Number one place. Out of the top ten places we would love to visit. Lost Gulch. Epcot.

The Food and Wine Festival, mama. Oh, my God. You can see it all when you go to Epcot. From Mexico to Norway to China to Germany. All the world is here tonight. If you only buy a ticket for $200. It's like so expensive, but you get to see every culture. Oh, it's worth every penny.

And then you get to go to the worlds of the space of it all. You get to go visit the Orange Center. Yeah. Nothing being built in, actually a lot being built in Epcot right now. Moana Garden. It's actually built and it's off to the races. Construction update I can say is they're almost done revitalizing Epcot, but it's slow going over there.

Matt did tell me the other day, he said, I was thinking about flying to Orlando in the morning, on any given morning, just to see the Moana Garden. It's a water walkthrough installation. A water walkthrough installation. And then flying back, I think to New York the same day. I'm moved to sing. I've been staring at the edge of the water

Long as I can remember Never really knowing why I wish I could be a perfect daughter But I go back to the water No matter how hard I try I can lead with pride I can, oh yeah I can satisfy

If I go too far To my ancestors What is wrong with me? See the light in the sky meets the sea It's blinding and no one knows How far it goes This actually is a really good song for this list. It's about exploring.

How far I'll go. Give it up for Lin-Manuel Miranda for, I think, writing one of the best I want songs in any Disney movie. And when she says at the end How far I'll go in any Disney movie. And when she says at the end, for all God!

Notice it ends on a high note. I love it. Not this flopstress Howard Ashman and Alan Menken going, I was there and you. Those are gay legends. Just kidding. And if you keep talking like this,

you're not going to get fucked in Hollywood at all. Alan Menken is straight and still alive. To me, he's a gay legend. And I will go on record saying that. You just did a Sam Smith where you thought... I'm the only gay guy. You win, Oscar. You did a reverse Sam Smith where you thought

Alan Menken was alive and gay. Whereas Sam Smith famously thought he was dead and straight. That Howard Ashman was dead and... I've just heard. I'm the first gay person to ever win an Oscar. They heard that Howard Ashman won one before and then they said, oh, is he cute?

Is he cute? He's a corpse, darling. If you're like Necro. Oh my God. So sick. So disgusting. Well, I think this was one of our most freewheeling lists so far. This was one of our most...

Loosely structured lists. Cogent. Oh, I was going to say the opposite. Well, you were being realistic about it. Yeah, this one fell the fuck apart. No, but it was beautiful. Yeah, it was so beautiful. I would love to go to a lot of these places.

I would love to, especially Hollywood. Yeah, well, I could show you around there. Introduce you to some people. I don't know, girl. Some of the most disgusting people I know. Well. That I got to deal with to make it in this town. Just even to do this podcast.

I had to get on my knees and suck the cocks of big money players. You've seen, you've seen, we can't even say that. Seen them all. Seen them all. Well, this was our top 10 list of the new year. And we hope that this inspires you to put a trip on the calendar. Explore. For 2024.

Yes. This is the year of travel, you guys. We're back. Pandemic's over. We end every episode with a song. Do we do that on these? We haven't done it for the last two, but let's do one for this one.

Okay. See the life in the sun, the sea. It calls me. No one knows how Timber goes. Um. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from being

in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. I was a desperate delusional dreamer. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida. And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?

Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or stay with his relatives in Miami? Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom.
