And I'm just excited to be here. It feels like we haven't podcasted in

forever. I know. I'm ready to, I'm ready to goss. That's for sure. Happy Tuesday, guys.

How's everyone feeling about the new Tuesday, Thursday, Thursday schedule? Because personally,

I'm loving it. I'm loving it. It feels like we podcast more. I was thinking the same, because guess it's just like closer. I don't know. I don't know what it is. Like more of us and I love it. I love it. And I hope you guys are loving it too. I think people are liking it. I think so too. We've gotten great feedback. So anyway, I got home last night from Arizona. And that was my first time solo traveling, if you will.

I didn't know you took Benny. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Just me and Benny. And I have to say, it was good. It was, I was really pleasantly surprised, which I feel like I hear this sentiment a lot. and to give people hope if you plan on traveling solo with your baby or with your

kids, people are really, really nice and helpful. That's what I found when I was going. I tried to

pack extremely light because we were there for 48 hours. And so I basically didn't bring,

I didn't bring much. And I checked my bag because I didn't want to deal with it. It was a small bag. But I gate checked it one time. Then the other flight, I just checked it.

So I didn't have to have a bag. So all I had was a backpack and Benny, basically. So it was so much, it was very nice because of that and very easy. Backpack at the airport is like, sorry purse. Yeah. No. I was packing everything into like my cute, like brown tote and life's like,

you're not going to want to do that. And he's like, you're going to want the backpack. I'm like, yeah, you're so right. So anyway, I took, you know, her duna, which is like the car seat stroller thing. So I'd have to like break it down, put it back up. That was like most of the hard part, I guess you could say was doing that that while Benny's, like, at the age where she can kind of just kind of, like, run around. Yeah. But both of the times as security, a guy that was either in front of me or behind me, like, was just like, oh, I can do that and would put it up on the conveyor belt and just was super nice. I felt like everyone was very helpful at the end of one of the flights.

We were just like standing at the jet bridge and I was getting the Duna back into like stroller mode and trying to put her in it. And this woman came up to me and she was like, do you need any help? And I was like, oh, no, I'm fine. Thank you. And she's like, oh, traveling is hard when you're alone. So like you're doing great. And anyway, just so nice. And I just was like, wow, this is very, it's very heartwarming. Because I feel like I thought it would be the opposite. When or, like, before I had kids, I would think that people would be rude. Yeah. Because I've, I have heard people being annoyed at babies crying on planes and stuff. So I was like, always scared. You've heard or you've experienced? I'm like, yeah, where I've been the person. That too. Throw back to your video. Oh, no. Chelsea, don't get, don't bring a new cancellation to my life. No, that's not that. That was when I was like 17, okay. You were so yeah. I think I was 18. That was like giving Vine energy. That was like when it was like close friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a baby like screaming my whole flight and I just like recorded myself being like, this is fun. You know, now also with noise canceling headphones and everyone using them. Mama, we know I got a few cancellations brewing. Yeah, I would love to talk about that. No, but truly, I mean, like, I've seen people on planes, like, kind of complain. Not when I had a kid, but be like, oh, that baby or whatever. And so I was always scared. In my older years, I've become so much more tolerant of that. Like, I just feel bad for the parents when a baby's crying. I'm like, that is, and especially after having a kid myself. I saw a video of this guy and he's like, oh, you're annoyed that my child's crying? Think about me. He's like, you get off the plane. You don't have to hear it ever again. He's like, I'm now leaving with that child. I'm going through the airport with that child. I'm putting that child in a car. Now we're having to drive an hour to our next location. You think you're annoyed, sir. It's true. I'm annoyed, you're annoyed. No, it's so true. I'm 10 times more annoyed. I know. No, but Benny did great. It was great. On the way home, on our flight home, I was sitting next to this lady and she's like, I was getting

Benny a snack or something and we're just sitting there. I'm like talking to her, talking to

Benny. And the lady's like, leans over to me and goes, I have seven and my youngest is almost

two. So no judgment here, Mama. whatever you need to do with your baby girl,

we're not judging you. Did you say I was seven, too? This is my youngest. And I was like,

oh my gosh, thank you. That's so nice. I was like, seven, wow. She's like, oh, we're not doing

that. And I'm like, we're not doing that? What does she mean? Like talking about how many kids she is i think like i was

getting the i was getting the energy of like i was being the person saying oh you got your hands full

and it's like okay shut up like that's what and so i clocked it and i'm like okay so then i seven

why you must have your she's like it's her finger on your lips. Uh-uh. They're blessings. Literally. But then... So she's like, we're not doing that. And I was like, oh. I kind of laughed and like, go back to whatever with Benny. And then I was like, how old are they? And she's like, my oldest is whatever. She's giving me the rundown the rundown. Like, oh my God. And no. And so I go, I'm like, oh my gosh, so fun. And she's like, oh, no, it's a mess. Oh, I'm like, okay. What do you want me to say? Trotping you? Literally, trapping me left and right. And then afterwards, she was, she was really nice. She's like,
