today's adventure begins as the
0:03
recording of this Thursday January
0:05
30th 2025 here in London
0:10
England just checked out of my hotel
0:12
here at the London luster
0:20
Square did not have a view of the square
0:20
itself which would be this side had a
0:22
view of a wall but I got to say the
0:25
accommodations were really nice I stayed
0:27
here every night each and every night
0:29
during my duration of being here in
0:31
London and I liked it this is a good
0:33
spot very centralized to Picadilly
0:37
circus a lot of the local
0:40
attractions and the commuter system is
0:42
so nice that you can just pop into any
0:44
subway
0:45
station also known as the tube in the
0:47
underground and get wherever you got to
0:49
go very easily till next time London
0:52
till next time also right here in the
0:55
Square I've been getting most of the
0:57
coffees I've been getting have been
0:58
Costa Coffee I got a few other ones as
1:01
well this right here next to the hotel
1:04
it's interesting a lot of places here in
1:06
the UK do not take American Express I'd
1:09
say probably a third of them don't 2/3
1:12
do I fly a lot through Delta and that's
1:15
connected to AMX so I get my points
1:17
through American Express I try to use my
1:19
American Express card as much as
1:21
possible I remember the commercial back
1:22
in the day and they don't take American
1:25
Express and that's true here they don't
1:27
all the places don't now one thing I did
1:29
regretfully not get to do while I was
1:31
here was take a double decker Red
1:34
Bus but I did take a double decker bus
1:36
going
1:38
to the Harry Potter stuff over at Warner
1:42
I also tried the other night I didn't
1:43
film it it was late at night right next
1:45
to my hotel went to BK and I got a
1:47
Royale with cheese except I think in F
1:50
Fiction it's a
1:52
McDonald's might was a chicken sandwich
1:55
but it was a on the menu it said Royale
1:57
with cheese so I thought a pul fiction I
2:00
guess it's not just Mickey D that has
2:01
Royale with
2:03
cheeses someone should let J Ulta know
2:06
walked about a half mile up to the
2:08
tottingham court station this will take
2:11
me
2:11
directly to London heatha welcome
2:14
everyone out of the woo here got my bags
2:17
all packed up down there ready to go fun
2:21
fact this tube station is the same one
2:24
from American Werewolf in London that
2:25
dramatic scene in the subway hopefully I
2:28
don't run any werewolfs my way to London
2:31
Heathrow flying Delta 1 today should be
2:34
interesting I'm inviting you to join me
2:38
going home shall you looks as if I need
2:40
to take the Elizabeth line that's why I
2:43
walked up here to tottingham Court Road
2:47
eight or nine
2:48
stops going over to Terminal
2:52
3 believe it's direct more or less if
2:55
not I'll figure it out now this is
2:57
interesting this is the only Subway
3:00
station I've seen that has like plexing
3:03
glass so that you can't like go you
3:04
don't have to mine the Gap you don't
3:06
have to mine the Gap here they got Plexi
3:08
between when these doors will open to
3:10
let me in
3:31
all right so evidently I got on the
3:31
train going the right direction but
3:32
there's another train I need to get on
3:34
to get over over to Heath
3:36
thr a couple minute delay got plenty of
3:39
time plenty of time my flight still not
3:41
till like 350 I checked out at 11:
3:44
plenty of time no
3:54
rush was was going the right way but I
3:54
got to get a
3:55
connection it's a little confusing but
3:58
no worries
4:02

4:07
gap I should have got off at Haz and
4:11
Harrington I'm in West straight now got
4:13
to go back to hay and Harrington and

4:31
this that thing is
4:44
moving all right got off on that side
4:44
walked over the bridge and now
4:46
connecting with this one and heading to
4:49
Herra I got this plenty of time two and
5:06
three always fun with
5:06
escalators and
5:12
lifts they're called lifts here not
5:13
elevators these are this is an escalator
5:15
though was maybe the
5:17
simplest situation with going through
5:19
checkpoints that I've ever been through
5:20
in my life I'm down here it's the only
5:23
one the near time frame going to Orlando
5:27
it's going out at 3:50
5:34
1550 hours the gate will not be shown
5:34
until 220 so I don't know what gate it
5:36
is yet but yeah I didn't even have to
5:38
scan my passport or anything I just
5:40
scanned my boarding pass and it was like
5:42
a self scanning thing there was like 10
5:47
different scan points no one checked
5:50
anything I just scanned it the thing
5:51
went open they said come on
5:53
through very very quick I didn't I took
5:56
my belt off but I didn't take my I
5:57
didn't have to take my laptop out of the
5:58
bag didn't have to take my shoes off put
6:00
everything in trays in and out super
6:03
quick when I woke up this morning I
6:05
heard the news like a lot of people that
6:06
out of DC there was an American Airlines
6:08
today I'm flying Delta but since I'm
6:10
standing here in front of this American
6:12
Air
6:15
airplane sad to hear the
6:17
news that while it was taking off out of
6:19
DC could have been Landing also not 100%
6:22
sure but
6:24
helicopter ended up crashing into it and
6:27
everyone on board the the helicopter and
6:29
the
6:30
plane from the news reports I'm reading
6:33
perished just sad to hear
6:35
that everyone on board
6:39
the passengers and the the flight crew
6:43
that were working you just never know
6:46
never know what what's going to happen
6:47
when you start the
6:52
day and as I continue walking on right
6:55
past that
6:57
window is Abraham Lincoln who's in DC
7:01

7:19
coincidence it's not every day that I've
7:19
seen a vending machine that
7:23
have cat cards in them who is the most
7:27
mischievous cat and who's is the most
7:29
lovable dog card also have Sonic

7:44
completely honest I don't know if I've
7:45
ever seen an ice cream vending machine
7:47
maybe at a rest stop but not at an
7:49
airport hog and
7:51
dos it's the ice cream of ice cream all

are not like that usually when you
14:16
unscrew like a water bottle of this size
14:19
it'll it'll just pop right off but every
14:21
water bottle I've had here different
14:23
every different brand in London was like
14:27
this say I guess saes litter or they
14:30
call it rubbish and linon also what
14:32
interesting these seats have a shoulder
14:35
belt for taxi takeoff and Landing that
14:38
you have to put on usually in regular

18:58
not bad right here on my little table on
19:02
my
19:40
gentlemen from the cockpit we've ask the
19:40
flight attendant to please take their
19:41
seats for their own safety hope you
19:43
understand uh thanks a lot and we'll let
19:45
you know as soon as we get out of this
20:36
all right I just finished the first
20:36
movie you know you're on a long flight
20:38
when you watch a well well you watch a
20:40
2hour
20:52
film and you've only gone that far also
20:52
there's a little doors here that you can
20:53
close so I have my own enclosed cubicle
21:30
room I got the chair laid down all the
21:30
way to the bed
21:32
level so basically this is my vantage
21:35
point for my eyes looking towards the
21:37
aisleway where the luggage is above
21:41
me got my open little enclosed
21:45
area feel like the hurly he
21:49
boy it's a deep cut us an out
21:53
reference that'll be my little
21:57
area all right took myself a little
22:00
catnap maybe like 45 minutes I was
22:03
awoken by some
22:05
turbulence that felt nice laid out flat
22:08
took a little
22:10
snooze moved along a little
22:22
bit definitely a little bit of
22:22
turbulence through here
22:35
now I know it seems crazy but I have
22:35
never seen The
22:36
Matrix so to make my buddy Greg from
22:39
Greg's Game Room
22:41
happy I'm finally now that I'm stuck in
22:44
a seat on a
22:46
flight going to give the Matrix a
23:13
flight attendant came by and said would
23:13
you like a cookie and it's warmed up
23:16
it's like a hot it's a hot chocolate
23:18
chip cookie so can I get some coffee
23:20
they brought more coffee
23:22
too little catnap and some
23:25
coffee nice
23:34
all right I finally after 26 years have
23:34
seen The Matrix I can't say I loved it I
23:38
can't say I disliked
23:40
it it was okay I think the the fact that
23:44
I waited this long 2025 to watch a movie
23:48
that came out in
23:49
1999 probably was not the best for me
23:52
but kind of reminded me of a more
23:54
science F science fiction version of
23:57
Terminator 2
23:59
kind of confusing a little more
24:01
confusing
24:03
though it was okay it didn't really feel
24:06
too much for the characters it was very
24:08
entertaining and action-packed
24:10
but the first movie I watched Good
24:12
morning Vietnam the Robin Williams movie
24:14
hadn't seen that since it came out I
24:17
felt more for the characters in that
24:20
movie than I did in the Matrix just my
24:23
opinion but at least I saw it
24:36
also sitting this long making me a
24:36
little stir crazy I don't really ever
24:38
sit for this long so might stretch my
24:40
legs and walk around the aisles a little
24:42
bit little chest
24:55
now
24:55
H oh I guess that was Checkmate I moved
24:58
I moved to just take the piece didn't
25:00
realize I going to get checkmate it was
25:02
difficult difficulty of one maybe I'll
25:04
try difficulty of two it was too
25:08
easy I'm make this a little
25:53
check ah the bishop got me moving too
25:53
fast moving too
25:55
fast I really screwed up with that one
25:57
really screwed
26:05
up really screwed up by putting the
26:05
queen up there getting getting
26:13
snagged think there's any way to win
26:21
one stalemate oo got a stalemate though
26:21
not a
26:23
Checkmate not as bad as a Checkmate all
26:26
right I've been wanting to watch this
26:27
the Fall Guy which is the movie based on
26:29
the Lee Majors TV show which I
26:33
loved let's give it a try Fall Guy time
26:38
3 hours 20 minutes till arrival it's a
26:40
2hour and 6 Minute
26:42
movie Let's watch it all these movies
26:45

26:47

27:19
City but too much cloud
27:26
cover carrying on all right just
27:26
finished the Fall Guy re liked it it's a
27:29
really great
27:31
movie it was a little hard to believe it
27:33
Parts but you know it's an action movie
27:36
also a romantic
27:37
movie happy ending film no spoilers but
27:41
and a lot of really good nods to the
27:43
original series and other things as well
27:46
including the $6 Million Man there was
27:48
one of the $6 Million Man uh
27:52
noises edit it as well I really liked it
28:02
also this is officially the longest
28:02
flight I've ever been on again it was a
28:04
little over 8 hours there to London
28:06
about 10 hours
28:09
back I am ready to get off this
28:12
plane it's hard for me not to just get
28:14
up and walk around I can sit for a while
28:16
but then I want to walk a lot of steps
28:19
throughout the day so being stuck in a
28:22
plane a little bit different the 8 hours
28:24
was no big deal the 10 hours those last
28:26
couple hours
28:29
ready to ready to get to Orlando short
28:31
duration of the
28:32
flight current weather in Orlando it's
28:35
the scatter clouds temperature
28:39
68° winds out of the
28:42
U South and about 5 m hour all right one
28:46
little last treat right before we
28:49
land flight attendant came down the
28:51
aisle give me a little piece of
28:53
chocolate and I asked for another bottle
28:55
of water
29:09
he getting that purple Hue in here for
29:13
landing cabin's all
29:15
purpley well light blue
30:26
been stuck in the spot for a half hour
30:26
the jetway will not stretch all the way
30:28
over to the
30:29
plane so
30:32
continues everyone's been standing for
30:34
like 25 minutes but I decided just to
30:35
sit back down there's like a know 20ft
30:40
Gap turn the jetway on the plane but it
30:42
can't move it can't get it up to the
30:43
door all right a few more minutes has
30:45
gone by they're now going to
30:48
try this Jet Bridge over there and see
30:52
if that works
31:02
he's letting the pilot know there's no
31:02
room probably going to have to back the
31:04
plane up and pull in
31:10
closer which means everyone's going to
31:10
have to put their luggage back in the
31:24
above definitely never seen someone at
31:24
the jetway yelling at the captain that's
31:27
on the plane from about 20 ft
31:46
before they're going to give this one a
31:46
try again so evidentally they gave up on
31:49
that one they're going back to the
31:52
original or
31:59
not they keep looking at the Gap Mine
32:00
The
32:00
Gap now they're yelling back and forth
32:03
at each other
32:05
pointing is really
32:12
interesting this one's attempting to
32:12
move maybe we're going to exit through
32:14
the front we boarded through the middle
32:16
but maybe this one's going to do like an
32:19
accordion thing to the
32:24
front it's really hard to get a picture
32:24
of it that because the clears this
32:26
thing's extending pretty good wait this
32:28
one's extending now too wait a
32:30
second okay wait a
32:32
second they moved up like 2 ft each it's
32:36
like a race to see which one we're going
32:37

34:06
a.m. in London right now it's been a
34:10
day comfortable day but it's been a long
34:12
day I got to catch another train shuttle
34:15
Etc it's not the tube but it's similar
34:19
over to the ab Gates I'm in C I parked
34:21
over at A and B probably should have
34:23
slept a little more on the plane than I
34:24
did it would have made the trip go a
34:26
little faster if I have just snooze the
34:29
whole time the reason I
34:31
didn't I took like a 30- minute power
34:33
nap and I got up and just watched movies
34:35
and looked out the window and had the
34:38
meal and
34:39
stuff but I didn't want to sleep all day
34:41
and then get here and be up all night
34:42
and not sleep tonight I wanted to get
34:45
kind of back on track time wise so right
34:48
now but to at them at the fountain it's
34:51
10:24 which should be 3:24 London time
34:55
so what time I get to my car probably
34:56
another 20 minutes and then
34:58
20 minutes on so I'll be home by
35:02
11: for
35:04
time so get a shower get in bed by
35:08
midnight hopefully get back on
35:11
