That's fucking Why did you just why not just go with Nikki? No, it's not two stops and a layover. It's insane. That's like a 24-hour journey. I said two flights and a layover. I said two flights and a layover. It's two flights with a stop. With a layover. A layover is like you stay over. What are you going to Dallas? Yeah, Dallas there. Where can we look up definition? You're right. A layover is any amount of time. No, I don't think so. I think it's a stop. No, no. A well, a layover means you stop. A connecting flight is a layover. It's a short layover. Yeah, yeah. Stupid. Well, I have a short connection. And then uh How long? An hour? Yeah, fucking 40 minutes. Okay, check this out. Two hours before the flight. 40-minute flight, an hour between, that's four that's wait, two, one, Wait, wait, that no, restart, restart. No, no, no. Two hours at the airport two hours ahead of time. You're not getting there two hours before. You guys get there. But you'll leave two hours, you park the car. I leave about an hour before I Yeah, I'm Ubering. I'm there 15, get on my flight. All right, but the act of getting Uber, all that. We call it two hours. The deciding you have to wake up two hours before too. Exactly. So okay, so two hours to get to via airports, right? 45-minute flight, call it an hour. Rest in the airport for an hour, and then get your get your car that's not that's five hours. You're pulling these hours. You're resting. Huh? You said rest for an hour? No, no, you're you're waiting. That's waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting on the world. You can leave when he leaves. I'll get there before you. Okay, I'll tell you when I when I Uber to the airport, that's when you're allowed to leave. Why can't you just uh drive with him? He doesn't care about me. I'll get a refund on I mean, look, you really want me to we can do this? Let's send her. All right. Just listen to Creed and Cancel it right now. You want to cancel it right now? Put your money where your mouth is. How long how long's it drive? I think it's Yeah, Bro, last time I checked that's an 8-hour drive. No, no, no, no, it's five and a half. I used to I did it multiple times in one month. I still order it. Five and a half. Yeah. We need an Airbnb. We don't have anywhere to stay. You guys can I mean, you guys stay at the Marriott. I I could ask my parents, yeah. Just house us. Yeah, they wouldn't care. Your mom have any friends? Oh, there is one. I'm kidding. There is one. Cut it. Uh dude, it's it's 6:30 to middle of of still water. 6 hours 30? Yeah, so four 4 hours 25 minutes would be there. Take the flight, take the flight. Dude, 6-hour drive over or two 45-minute flights. Plus you're in the airport for an for three hours. I could Yeah, you can relax, walk around, do whatever you want to do. Driving is relaxing. Actually, I think I side with Nikki Rod on this. Let's go. Flight. Dude, I've done so many drives Montreal to New York. I'm like You you have to be the one driving. That's annoying. I drive. You could watch a movie on the flight or in the You could do some work or whatever. There's having fun. You race everybody. It's it's competition. Bro, the plane goes faster. We'll see. You're you're right. You're right for this. Guys, leave in the comments. A 6-hour 30-minute drive or two 45-minute flights. But but the cumulative time is going to be about five hours. So even less. And you have to communicate with all these other people. You don't. I don't. You're in the plane, you're sitting next to people. It's more so I hate sitting down for long periods of time. If it's like 45 minutes, you're standing in the airport. Well, yeah, I could like walk around and Same thing, you stop whenever you want. But every time we stop, we Yeah, we lose. I could like walk walk around a little bit and my flight's 45 minutes, then I walk around the airport. Starbucks. Fucking You're just going to have this other man drive you around. You're telling me It would be the same with you. If I was in the car with you, you'd be driving me. Yeah, but we care about each other. Also, a pilot is it's okay. Is there are you going to rent a car out there? Are you just going to Uber? He's got you. Hm. No, all right, if I was He's like, I'm not driving you. You're on your own. You're on your own. If I wasn't going, would you rent the car? If you weren't going, I wouldn't go. Okay. So you're you're on the side of driving six and a half hours? Yeah. It's a it's a five-hour deal. Five hours. Why? It's going to be less than five hours. You're going to the airport and then the fucking it's like it's really not that much of a difference of time and driving's more comfortable. I've never seen somebody hate airports more than him. I This guy hates life, anything with. You fucking hate everything. Okay. You could Mickey could smell a flower and be like, nah. Nah. Allergies. My Yeah. Must be dream of the day. It's not so much about the the cumulative time. What? A flower is amazing. No, no, no. I actually really enjoy airports. I wouldn't go that far. I just It's not so much the cumulative time for me. It's just sitting down for that long. Also, it's just like you have full it's like okay, your flight gets delayed. There's just it's completely out of your power. You can't do shit. You spent fucking 12 hours in an airport trying to get to New Jersey. That's an anomaly, bro. It's like yeah, but it's like you're driving, it's like that isn't an issue. There's an accident. There's a flat tire. I got two spares, motherfucker. Let's go. Yeah, but you could be stuck in traffic. Yeah, it could be a crash. Rush hour. The thing is the thing is is like you can control all that. It's like if you leave in the middle of the night, you're not going to fucking run into any traffic. I don't want to leave in the middle of the night. You're leaving in the middle of the night. I'll leave at like 6:00 a.m. That's what I did. I like when I drove back from Florida, I just left in the middle of the fucking night and like we didn't like any Overnight? That's Now your sleep is fucked up. That's even worse. Yeah, that's 6:00 a.m. We'll get there at noon. Leave at 6:00 a.m. That's I have a 12:47 flight. You're up at 6:00. Have my coffee and break I'm not up at 6:00 a.m. What time are you up? Like actually, I've been sleeping in lately. What's your sleeping in time? Like 9:30. Oh, wow. Really? It's this is this past like three weeks. I don't know why. I've just been able to sleep way more. It's been amazing. Also, my neighbors have been doing crazy shit right above me. They've been like tap dancing to like 2:00 in the morning some nights. It's fucking Tap dancing. I swear that's what it sounds like. Do you bang on the Oh, yeah. Really? Yeah. Oh, yeah, they bang back. I get I I went up there a few times. What are you saying?
