Shower time, Adderall, a glass of whiskey, and diesel jeans.

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you wherever you are, because it is...

Morning.

Somewhere!

Or October 23rd, 2004. I got that. That timing on that one was off, and I still got it. My name is Bernie Burns sitting right over there flying first class from the bedroom to her seat. It's Ashley Burns. How you doing, Ashley? That's a short haul flight. How you been, baby? It's good to see you again. It's really good to have you home. Really good to have you home.

I've missed you very much.

I'm glad to be home.

I went off to a place called America.

I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly.

That's where I was for the last few days. Yeah, how's everything going over there? Sounds kind of wild. It's great. Did you keep up with any of the current events when I was gone?

Like, I went over there.

Did you read about the game or anything like that?

Let's see.

Was it, um, was it some kind of a soccer match? It was football? Well, all you need to know is this. I went and saw a football game with the Texas Longhorns versus the University of Georgia and Texas won. It was great. It was so great. Texas destroyed them.

And they were super polite about the way they did it and everything was wonderful.

Is that why your voice is still a little bit hardest from cheering on the boys and all their

successes? Oh, that and also just like it's my first day back and I just had one of those

days where I was traveling. And it's basically 24 hours of travel, four hours of which is spent in London Heathrow Airport, you know, because there's, when I land here, I have to fly up to either Aberdeen or Inverness, and it's like there's not a flight on a regular basis. It seems like in Austin, there's a flight to Dallas, like, every hour on the hour. I don't know why they don't have that here. True, but that's also a half hour flight. You can't, you don't even get to cruising altitude. They basically pull out the trolley, wheel it past you, and then put it away again because it's time to descend. It's like a parabola. You just go up and then down. They could, they could achieve the same thing with a catapult, basically. There is no cruising up there whatsoever. Do you get assigned seating on a catapult?

It's a, you know, oh, did you read that Southwest is going to assign seating after all this time? Yeah, I read that. That, I think they announced that a little while ago. Have they actually put that into effect? I have no idea. I'm not going to fly southwest. It's been too much. I can't go back. The no assigned seating just, I can't, I can't hang with that. I can't.

All right. So how? It's been too much. I can't go back. The no assigned seating just, I can't, I can't hang with that. I can't.
