Terms and conditions apply. We're ready and we're rolling. And it's a new episode of thanks dad coming to you live from. It's not coming to you live. It's not coming to you live. I've already lied to you and that for that I apologize. We're doing too much. I mean, as a collective, we're doing too much. I want you to really consider this. I don't know what we can do about it, but we're doing too much. You know that Luther Vandross song, never too much? We've hit There needs to be another song. This is too much. I don't know, maybe there is one. I'll have to look it up on on my streaming platform. But anyway, we have got too much going on. The other day I was at the airport. I'm always at the airport. You'll find. And I got to. I got to the airport really early, was in Austin. I got to the airport so early for my early morning flight because I heard the lines were so crazy. And by heard I mean someone told me. And then I went on Reddit to confirm because that's my news source, for whatever reason is Reddit. And then there were also reputable news sources saying that the lines at Austin airport were crazy. So I woke up very early, which is fine. I just. You should know I'm a person who likes to arrive at the airport basically when my flight is boarding. And I do love the thrill. It is dangerous. I don't recommend anyone else do it. There is A method to my madness. I only time I've missed a flight in the last 20 years is because I set my alarm for PM instead of AM and I slept through and I woke up and I was like, this sleep feels too good. I was only supposed to get four hours. This is feeling like this feels like five. And it was. And my, and my, my plane was in the sky. But otherwise I've made every flight getting there essentially when it boards. But I got there very early in Austin for butt crack of dawn. And so many people in line. Like, in theory, the airport's less busy that early in the morning, but not Austin. Austin's different. Something's going down in Austin. So anyway, got there early. I have TSA precheck. At one point I had clear. I can get clear again because I'm diamond medallion, which I can't wait to brag about it to everybody. But I, I found that I, I was like, TSA pre check is enough. That's enough. That one time investment and I haven't found clear to be particularly helpful except for one time in Miami. So out of all the years I had it, I was like, this one time in Miami. Anyway, I have TSA precheck and I was like, I'm gonna get to. I'm not going to be in a long line. But people are like, no, even the pre check line is insane. So I get there very early. But then here's the thing. My boarding pass was also touchless id and that meant that they had a touchless ID line as well at Austin. And that line was like, I was in that line for like nine minutes. And that's including the random security check I got selected for. It's only ever happened to me. Well, no, it also happened to me days before in France, which is weird. But also that random security check in France happened after boarding. They were like, you've been selected for a random security check. And I'm like, we're in the little thing between the plane and the gate. But it was four people. It was four agents of some variety. But. And I'm. I digress. Right now, go with me. I was like, yeah, sure, you want to do a random security check? I feel like we've already gone past security and not. I feel like, I mean, but I feel like, I mean, we have, we're actually meant to be boarding, but your plane's not ready and you have us in the. Is that a galley? I believe so. So it's four people being like, we have to do a random check. On you. And I was like, great. And then. But they seem confused about what the check would entail. So, like, minutes passing, and then someone's like, take off your shoes. I was like, okay. And then I'm like, great, the shoes are off. And then I was kind of. There was a lot of confusion from them as to what was supposed to be happening next. And I was like, I'll do whatever, honestly. But you guys. You guys seem confused. And I don't know why there has to be four people, but it seemed like they were training three. I don't know what was going on. Always a guinea pig for them. And then the one helped. One guy I just kept. He was like, your bag. You have to unzip it. I was like, great, if you tell me what to do, I'll do it. I have overstuffed my luggage, which is sort of my thing, but I will unzip it, which is just gonna be a. To zip back up, but fine. And then he's like, you're good to go, and winks at me. And I'm like, I know you didn't do me a favor just now. Anyway, even with my random security check in Austin, you got through in night. It was nine minutes. It's nine minutes. That's exactly what it was. Because I looked. I was like, that was fast. Anyway, there's too many things. That's what I'm trying to say. It's too many things. That was too many security checks. There's too many. Why do we. Why do I. Why is there clear and there's pre check and there's global entry and there's now touchless id. I swear, I probably. Like, I don't even remember signing up for touchless id. So you don't have to pull out your id. You just look at a camera, Much like you already look at a camera when you are handing your id. So don't call me crazy for not knowing how I signed up. I don't know what I've given over or given the government access to. They already have it. But I have touched this idea, and it got me to skip the line. So I encourage you all to also sell your souls and give your blood. And I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, they are. They're gonna do something weird with it. With, I'm sure. But it's okay. Maybe I'll be dead by then. It's too many things. We need to. Can we just become efficient again? Am I allowed to say make America efficient again? Guys? Me asking permission, maybe not we're trying here. That maybe isn't the thing to say. Make society efficient again. Too many streamers. I love you all. Why we have so many. There's too many things to watch. There's so many things to watch. And we're not connected anymore because we're not all watching the same five shows. We're not all watching TGI Friday. We're not all watching. What was the Saturday morning cartoon situation? Remind me. Do you guys remember? Was it one Saturday? Kids WB Power. Okay, maybe there were always too many things. Maybe there were too many things always and I don't know what I'm talking about and I should stick to freaking comedy. Shut up and dribble ego. I can't handle the basketball to save my life. Okay, well, I'm about to talk to somebody really exciting, so you don't have to hear from me anymore. Except for you do. While I'm talking to them. But that's my stance. There's too much going on. But maybe there's always too much going on. I am just simply overstimulated as a person. And that's what's happening for me. Anyway, very good conversation coming. Stand by. You're gonna want to hear it. I feel like it's gonna be great. So if you didn't like this, you're definitely gonna like that. I hope. It's happening. Hey, eighth grade. Okay. Mateo.
