Speaking of your London trip, we finally get to talk about it, I know, we get to talk about from the front to the end, front to butt, front to butt. So how was the flight over there? Flight was easy?

You sleep?

How was your did you get the good seat you wanted.

Yes, I did get I had an aisle seat, but I had I had a couple next to me, and the guy was next to me. No, they were like sleeping the whole time. And the guy was real skinny and real flexible for you, so he could like he got real tiny in the seat, and I'm like, well, I'm just gonna get big in the seat. I don't care. You're not gonna say anything to me. But I did fall asleep and I didn't eat the the night meal I woke up. When I woke up, they gave us like a They said it was a turkey melt, but

What movies we watch, new movies or old movies?

Old movies, you know I love old movies. It was whatever was on.

My one goal is to watch one of the Aftar's on a plane. Just be like you, James Cameron, this, I'm watching this movie.

No, the second one. I've never seen the second one it's bad. It's pretty bad.

But when I went to land the first time, I watched like four movies. I watched like all the Godzilla movies, like it was like Godzilla and King of the Monsters.

And then semi Pro. I watched semi prok okay, see I was the first one I watched, and I watch something else. On the way back, I watched, Well, we're not there yet, we'll get it, we'll get we're starting. Landed. Yes, I got in a cab because I landed. I landed. Did you take the Express, the Hawthorne Heathrow Express, which was a long walk but worth it? Oh?

Howwarts?

Where's it? Got in a.

Cab Paddington Bear, but I didn't see the pad You didn't see anything all over that train station.

So I saw the Paddington and Friends statue, but I didn't see the actual patting. And then I saw someone had built made a Paddington sitting on a on a bench and I walked to it, but there was this American couple that was just sitting there eating lunch, and I was.

Like, hey, can I can I sit down and take a picture the bear.

But so like, you know what, You're the reason why Americans have a bad rap in this country because you idiots are sitting here and so just taking the picture. Moving on today, got in a cab, took a three minute cab drive. Found out the guy was an American football fan, didn't like soccer, was a fan of rugby, and his favorite team was the Chicago Bears.

And you're like, I got nothing for you. That's my boss likes to the loves the Bears. No Bears, Chicago Bear down.

But so then I got to my hotel. The room wasn't ready yet. They held my luggage for me downstairs. And then I went to the Italian Gardens at Kensington Hyde Park.

But it's beautiful. And then I walked to the Peter pan thing and then I turned around and I was like, well, let me just go back.

I should have told you this would have been in time for you to get back into Pokemon Go because this park had so many bocus stops.

I'm gonna play, I'm going to get something to do, Okay. So that was the first day that I did that.

Yeah, so where the Peter Pant statue was took a picture, kept going down the Serpentine, which is a little river walk the.
