Transcript

Government is still shut down, and I just booked a last minute trip to New York. Let's see if I make it. I usually always fly out of Palm Beach International, which never has any lines, and today wasn't any different. I got through TSA within five minutes. Normally, I get to the airport an hour and a half early, but today, I got here two and a half hours early. Alright. Now that I know my gate actually exists, I can go find some food. If you're flying domestically during this government shutdown, make sure you arrive early and make sure you have the airline's app downloaded so you can stay fully up to date on any cancellations or delays. I don't care what I had to do. Nothing was gonna stop me from attending my first ever brand event. Alright. So I just got a text that the flight has been delayed by one hour, which kinda sucks, but it also kinda works out because I can get some work done because I can't work or sleep on a plane, so I'm gonna lock in. So not only was my flight delayed by an hour, but once we all boarded the plane, we had to sit on the runway for an additional hour. See if we watched two movies. I watch Crazy Rich Agents again, and I watch The Hangover. I said it in my last video, and I'm gonna say it again. Please be so fucking kind and patient to anyone that is working worse the airport. After a few extra hours of delays, we finally made it to New York Tier, baby. I just landed in New York City tier I booked one of the weirdest hotel rooms I've ever been in, so I'm gonna give you guys a room tour. Let's do it.
