I'm finally here. We have a really fun story coming up for it. But I was just thinking of something because you had a, you had a like, hellacious travel back, right, with the boys. You and the family went to New York and it was just one of those marathon, like, we may not get home for Christmas. You were just stuck.

So we went to New York this past weekend and my wife, it was, I could talk about for a long time. It was great, right? We did all the touristy stuff. We lined it up. Fao, Schwartz, Rockefeller ice skating, Central Park, Broadway, all of these things. The boys are great. I would say this, my advice to parents trying to go to New York in December. It is magical. It is great. Having a 4 and 5 year old is the most anxiety and stress that we have had as parents because like, you talk about home, you get lost. You get lost in New York home alone. Yeah, like, you just like, you got to hold their hand every second of the day. So that part was, was stressful. But my wife created an incredible weekend. So the travel day, dude. So the storm hit like Saturday night snow. It was, it was, and it was like windy snow. Right? It wasn't like, oh, cute little snow, let's go walk around. And then Sunday through about 11. So anyway, we get to the airport, we're flying out about 1:30 Eastern. We, we take off from the gate, everything is going good. And then for some reason, you know, like, you just when, you know when you sit for like an hour and you get something's up and you're like, is it maintenance? Is it, is it like something wrong? Because we're, we're, we're away from the gate, we're ready. And basically like there was a long line for deicing flights were getting canceled left and right just throughout the day. And then we hit our time limit. We were out there for, we were out there for Three hours. Once you hit three hours, you have to go back to the gate if you don't take off because it's like, you know, it's a, it's a law or something. The problem was we didn't have a gate for another two and a half hours. We were in the plane for six hours on Sunday with, by the way, my boys were fantastic. They had their iPads, they were great. They didn't. This is how long we were in a plane for. We are literally sitting there and we come back to the gate to get out and Cannon goes, daddy, did we land at home? I was like, bro, buddy, we're going to, we're going to go stay in a hotel in Queensland right now and we're gonna get up at 3am to take a shuttle back to the airport for a 6am flight and hope we get out. By the way, delayed two more hours on Monday morning to get home. So it was like a 36 hour day. It was brutal. We made it. The boys are great. I don't handle those situations very well. I gotta be honest with you. I was fine on Sunday. Monday I thought we were gonna get hit again because we had maintenance issues on the plane. And when you hear maintenance, I'm rather.
