How's it going? Pretty good. You good. Ah, I don't know how you're sitting here with that jacket. I'm going to take it off in a minute. Just started getting hot. Yeah.

Did you hear the big local news in Kansas City? I didn't. New terminal. New airport. Oh, I saw that. Yeah. Opened up. And that feels pretty quick. Maybe it wasn't. I don't know. Maybe just because I don't fly that often. So I haven't been thinking about it.

But usually something that big, it just seems like, oh, we're going to kind of like the stadium. You're like, oh, once they approve it, you're like, well, that'll happen. I'll probably be dead when I have joy.

Yeah. But I guess like the stadium downtown or the arena. It happened fairly quickly because I think we were in Seattle. I came back and I was like, oh, they finished the arena. That's crazy. I don't know exactly how many years it took. But Kansas City, in my opinion, really needed to do something about the airport. And it got me thinking I haven't seen it in person yet. Although our financial advisor invited us to go see it early. We didn't talk about it. It looks cool. Oh, that looks cool. It looks cool. And I saw Southwest have their first flight. I think it was yesterday. Right. I saw the local news was there with with.

The cameras, watch people get their bags and kind of looking around, you know, seeing like an unfiltered view without just the mockups and all the filters, seeing what it looked like. And I was thinking, what would you say? Because if you had asked me a year ago, five years ago, I think 10 years ago, what name the thing that comes to mind first that it's the most embarrassing about your city. I would say for my city, it would probably the airport probably stop first. I think it's top. Not only do you lay in kind of in the middle of nowhere over some cows.

Which you could embrace, you know, Texas would be like, there's cows and we love, you know, but for me, it's not great. I don't love it. But I also don't love that it's so far away from everything. But then when you get into that, and they did upgrade at some point in my life, which almost made it worse in some ways, because you could tell that they tried to spit shine. This thing that just looked like a relic from the past. It looked like you were in a time machine. And also the way it was structured is unlike any other airport I'd ever been in where you go in, you go through security, and once you're in security, you sit basically in a waiting room. And you

just have to say that if there's no food, which I would say over half the time, there's nothing open in that room. There might not be anything open in the terminal, let alone the gate that you're sitting and you can't leave that gate. Now that you're going through security without going through security again. So it was just a horrible experience. Now I know people said, oh, yeah, but it was the flights were on time. Okay, whatever. That's because it's not real busy. That's not because it's so efficient necessarily. In my mind, it was not only embarrassing, but also kind of a poor experience sitting there. Oh, yeah.

Wait, wait for your flight. I thought it sucked. And for people to have that be the first thing that you see, you're like, oh, where do you live? I live in Kansas.

It was kind of a pain in the ass too. Like there was times where I was like, oh, this three separate terminals works out. Well, there's parking, right? And so, you know, there was things about that were great. But it was, there was also things you're like, this doesn't make any sense. And it makes me angry. So like, if you fly, and I don't remember what they were, but if I fly out on Southwest and then come back on American. Yeah, we did. Well, my cars at Southwest. So I got to take this stupid bus. Yep.

All the way around and back then to terminal two, you know, it was annoying. Yep. It happened to you and I because we went somewhere. We might have been in LA. I don't remember what we wanted to see if we could get back in time for the Super Bowl. So we got a spirit flight. Right. It was a different.

And then we get back. We hadn't even thought about it. We're like, oh, damn it. Our car's out here. So we got to go wait for a bus, which by the way, that airport. Basically anytime, but certainly like on a Sunday evening, not a lot of people driving those buses.

Not, you know, we waited for a while to get that ride to go and like, God, this just seems so dumb. You know, a tram would have been nice, but also just anything. Some way to get over there. I'm with you.

The Super Terminals may have benefits for sure.

It did. I think security was less. Yeah.

Because there's people going to three separate areas. You know, so we'll see how they do it. You know, I haven't heard of, you know, anybody complaining about the wait times. I can't imagine.

But maybe it'll be that'll be bigger because of everybody's going in the same terminal. They don't write maybe that maybe the wait time to get to security will be bigger. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I just thought overall, I didn't, whatever the pros were, I certainly didn't think they outweighed the cons and more than anything.

I thought it was embarrassing. And there was a comedy club up north. I don't know if it's still there, but I went there a couple times. And I remember like both times I went to this place.

The comedian was talking about, you know, oh, beautiful. You know, I landed at this airport in a field. And then I've got a hotel here near this club, which was up north.

Like, I guess there's no city. Is there no city? Like, how do you guys have sports teams? There's no city anywhere to be seen. Then someone told me I got to drive 20 minutes to the South.

And I'll start to see it. And I'm like, yes, this is the same joke. The last person told. So obviously that's a issue.

Well, I mean, that's true. When I moved here, I flew in and I remember landing. And I saw cows. And I was like, Oh boy. Oh boy.

I won't be here for long. I can't. I just saying, I know. I don't know anything about this town, but it this ain't me. Right. They tricked me.
