Welcome to Rates and Burrells.

It's Wednesday, January 4th.

Welcome to the 2023 episodes of the show. Happy New Year to everybody out there.

Hopefully everyone had an enjoyable holiday season. I know with the airline trouble that I saw on

Twitter throughout the last few weeks, it was probably a pretty miserable experience if you had to

fly anywhere. Eno, I saw you attempted to fly, and

that never, that never walked out.

You just gave up.

We were caught up in the Southwest Airlines in Brolio.

We went to, we actually drugged our dogs so that we could take our dogs on a flight,

even though they're not very good dogs.

And so we had the dogs, they were, the drugs were, like, you know, wearing, like,

waiting off as, you know, our flight keeps getting pushed out, pushed out 20 minutes,

pushed out 20 minutes, pushed out 20 minutes, pushed out 20 minutes,

dogs starting to wake up and look around and growl at people and like, oh, no, this is going

badly. And then I don't know why. They should have just canceled it early, but they kept thinking for

some reason that they could do it while San Jose around us, which is a Southwest hub, was descending

into utter chaos. People were screaming and crying and yelling,

berating people. I've never seen San Jose like that. So we finally just gave up and drove down.

We drove down through the rains. It was like a 10-hour drive. Yeah, thanks Southwest.

Yeah, I get that the stress, especially when you're trying to be somewhere to see

family or you're going on vacation and things don't go well, I understand being as frustrated
