Am I stuffed from Christmas?

Am I stuffed from my mileage run, by the way?

This is shaking and disturbed. I'm not even confident I introduced last week's episode. I don't think you did. I think we just went right into it. I think we went right into it. John, I am thoroughly exhausted already from the holidays and we haven't even gotten to New Year's yet, babe. Listen, we're going to give our holidays update on next week's NMR episode. We're taking a little bit of a break, you guys. I feel like we deserve it. Let's be honest. We give you guys content every single week. And so do you. We are, exactly. And we are feeding, we are mama cat and daddy bear and we are feeding our cat children, our kitten cubs. We're daddy cat and mama bear. I know, but our children are kitten cups. Our kitten cubs. I love the name, kitten cubs. A little kitten. Did we just create a new thing? Imagine a little kitty that looks like a cub, little bear cup. Oh, I'm sure they get them. Oh. Oh. I'm sure a science experiment has gone wrong somewhere. I didn't get one for Christmas. I'm so upset. Well, Darren, Christmas and Hanukkah is behind us now. We are moving forward quickly into 2023. What are your plans? New Year's Eve is just a few days away from the time we're recording this.

So what are your plans?

Yeah, well, my plan as of right now is to be in Times Square with Andy and Anderson as well as the Dean. So it's going to be very fun. Sherry O'Terry is going to be there. Your favorite. I love her. Let me check. You love.

I'm just checking my phone to see if I got an invite to New Year's Eve with you and Andy and Dean and Sherry, Oterian Anderson Cooper. I think you probably deleted that email because you're not great at it. It's probably where my birthday gift was in that ether, in that Bermuda Triangle of gift giving. It was probably there. Well, one year, I guess I guess but John I briefly mentioned it on last

week's episode I did my mileage run and I'll tell me all about it report I'll give you a full report

in the new year I feel like we have you know we're taking a break and I just want people to be

prepped that I am that loser that actually yeah you are the status and went on literally a trip to no word just to take a train back. But I highly recommend. Chef recommends this. But listen, what does it give you? What does it give you? What did your new status give you? There's more perks. Well, because the new status gives me sky priority when I board now, no matter what. All right. Listen, I will say.

We'll talk about it next week.

Boarding is just arguably my most stressful thing. I know. I agree with you. And you travel a lot. If I'm like Maine 2, I can't. I just can't. Can you imagine being group 4 in 2023? Oh my God. Like when people are like group seven and they're calm, I'm like, how are you not having a nervous breakdown on the tarmac right now?

I don't understand. Oh, my God. Like when people are like Group 7 and they're calm, I'm like, how are you not having a nervous breakdown on the tarmac right now?

I don't understand.

How are you living like this?

The anxiety, the agit, it's a lot.

It's a lot.

Well, it's a great segue because I am on my way right now and when we release this episode to none other than where do I go whenever I want the beach, Darren, Miami, Florida. I'm heading there for New Year's Eve. Miami. Miami. Miami. Welcome to Miami. That's so fun. Yeah. Do you make a plan for New Year's or you're just like, let's see what happens? Kind of it's with, I'll just say it, an X of mine, an X, Darren, that you don't even know. Not the one you're thinking, I know. Guys, Darren thought she knew, but she did it this time. I was really about to be on my high horse with that. And then you just like slammed me down. We are great friends. We've stayed great friends. This was like a college X. And we just were like, let's do something together. We're both single. We're both looking for something to do. We both love the beach. We have the money. So we were like, let's go to Miami. Why not? So kind of a last minute thing. So I'll be there over New Year's, if any of you. I know last time I went to, what? Oh, you're going to get updates. Okay. Okay. I'll say that the last time I was there, I got several messages from listeners from the Miami area that were like, why did you not tell us that you were going to be in Miami? We want to meet you. We want to see you. And I'm like, listen, it's a vacation. Okay. Can I just enjoy the beach without having to sign autographs, Darren? I don't know. That's where I am. I mean, that's right. Well, you know, it's okay. I mean, the fans want what the fans want. That's true. I'm happy that you're going to be warm and delightful in New Year's.

You know, I was going to invite you to be with me and Nadine and Andy. But you knew. But then you were like, you're in Miami. So I was like, I'm not going to even bother because like I want this time. Well, I know what happened here. No, I know what happened. I know you saw that I didn't have Delta Sky Club and you were like, he's a, he's a main three guy. He can't hang out of us. Yeah, and I was like, can't I be seen with a main three. Main cabin three? I can't be seen with the boarding group 18. Absolutely not. Sir, your bags aren't even going to make it. Don't even bother taking your bags. Don't even bother packing. Don't even bother packing sir Because your bags are not making it to your destination

That's what I think when this thing goes down. Really? My friend, my friend Andrew just came back from London and they did not send him his bags. That is like, it's just a big nightmare. It's just, it's just, Yeah, exactly. Same with me. Yeah. We're going to do a whole travel time next week.

Yeah, we've got a That is just a big nightmare. How? It's just like, people have their own.
