0:20

0:21
airport heading back into the states
0:36
say's classic old hotel used to be
0:36
called the hotel
0:38
mosop back in 1960 a tight rope Walker
0:42
by the name of the human fly entertained
0:45
a crowd in front of this place but it's
0:47
changed its names now to the Hotel
0:51
Victoria all right just like that my
0:53
Uber it's already here it's 3:30 a.m.
1:17
one thing about leaving this early in
1:17
the morning from downtown Toronto to the
1:19
airport I made it here in
1:27
about about 20
1:27
minutes give or take I'm flying Delta I
1:30
have a layover in Minneapolis Minnesota
1:34
it is 345 I left the hotel about
1:38
325 as the recording of his Thursday
1:41
July
1:42
25th
1:44
2024 welcome everyone out of the woo
1:46
here part of the reason I wanted to get
1:48
here this early my flight departs at
1:51
6:30 it's cuz I do not know how going
1:54
through the checkpoints when it comes to
1:56
the passport heading back into the US
1:58
how much time that is is going to take
2:01
but I figur the early bird not only gets
2:03
the
2:04
worm but gets across the border
2:07
easily better early
2:10
than fashionably late also I picked up
2:13
this appropriate Toronto t-shirt
2:15
yesterday heading back to the States
2:18
destination later Los Angeles join me
2:21
good to have you here shall you it's
2:23
actually a little worried I wasn't going
2:24
to be able to find an Uber this early
2:27
but I was I ordered it and within a
2:30
minute he was there ready to roll oh
2:33
what's going on in here oh yeah good
2:35
getting here early look at this line
2:38
there's like hardly anybody in this
2:41
line what a dozen people at this hour
2:45
all right there was very very quick easy
2:47
took the shoes off took the laptop
2:50
out very friendly well whatever their
2:54
version of TSA is here at the
2:57
Canada Canada checkpoints I don't think
2:59
it's called TSA I was talking to the the
3:02
associate I was like wow I made it from
3:04
the downtown here in like 20 minutes she
3:06
goes oh after 6 after 6:00 a.m. it's
3:09
going to be a whole different experience
3:13
in here so I got here glad I got here
3:15
early all right I'm guessing
3:18
probably going through border patrol
3:20
won't take too long either I think I
3:22
only have to do it here I think when I
3:23
finally get to my to Minnesota for The
3:25
Layover and then also to La I don't
3:28
think I have to show it I think I only
3:30
have to show it here look there's hardly
3:32
anybody in this room right now right the
3:35
area I was just in they have a
3:38
strict no filming rule in there so I had
3:40
to put the camera
3:42
away they had really long q line set up
3:45
there was no one one really in them but
3:48
again within an hour or two I think it's
3:50
going to be filled up and then it says
3:52
the gates are this way but it's weird
3:53
it's almost like you're walking into
3:54
like a little like mall area I was like
3:57
am I going the right way but evidently
3:58
this way or the gate
4:01
I guess instead of exiting through the
4:02
gift shop you enter through the gift
4:04
shop this is so freaking weird look at
4:07
this you walk through here to get to the
4:10
gates it's like a huge impulse by area
4:13
before even go to the gates
4:21
weird look at this humongous Mentos
4:21
package here
4:36
didn't spend a lot of time here 3 days
4:36
came here specifically hang out with my
4:39
buddy Scott on tape and also knock off
4:41
my 26th baseball stadium seeing the
4:44
Tampa Bay
4:49
race after this year once the baseball
4:49
stuff is done I'm definitely going to
4:50
have more time to stay in an area longer
4:53
period of time but I explored Canada a
4:56
little bit maybe one day I'll come back
4:58
and as you can tell at this hour the
5:01
food court and a lot of the other stores
5:03
are not open at this moment CU it's
5:05
early it's really well actually they're
5:06
rolling out the neck pillows now the
5:08
neck pillows are being rolled out I
5:09
could really use a cup of coffee right
5:11
now I don't know if there's a lounge in
5:13
here I don't know if there's a temp be
5:15
nice to have a Tim Hortons for getting
5:17
on the plane but I don't know if there's
5:18
anyone over here in the a
5:20
Gates coffee would be good right now at
5:23
this hour I don't know if I've ever seen
5:24
a Subway vending machine before I see
5:28
like a salad vending machine but not
5:30
specifically a Subway vending machine
5:32
they got little Subway sandwiches and
5:33
ships and things down in
5:38
there currency exchange oh interesting
5:40
it's not an ATM it's a currency exchange
5:42
machine a
5:44
gab gab there's a Starbucks on the other
5:48
side and it is open but I have not seen
5:52
the Tim portons in here I might be out
5:53
of luck dang it that have been a nice
5:57
send off that have been a nice nice s
6:01
off all right Flight 6431 departs at
6:05
6:30 got 2 hours and 10 minutes till
6:08
then so plenty of time wander around
6:12
still dark outside still very dark
6:13
outside everyone's opening up pulling
6:17
everything out look at this little hot
6:18
dog right there with some mustard on it
6:21
Toronto
6:23
streets nice little visit here in Canada
6:26
kind of a nice little test see how a
6:29
little te easier for next year's
6:30
International stuff I want to say this
6:32
is too deep International just popping
6:34
over the Border an hour or two over the
6:36
Border
6:37
but
6:40
yeah excited for next year yeah it looks
6:43
like Starbucks it
6:56
is all right piping hot Caffe a beverage
7:00
achieved with a medium instead of a
7:02
large sure I'll probably have one on the
7:04
plane as well so there is a lounge but
7:06
at the seag gates there is it one at the
7:08
gates I'm at don't think I can go over
7:10
to those other
7:12
Gates but it's not a Delta Lounge it's
7:14
like a different Lounge that you can use
7:17
if you're a
7:19
Delta Sky Club member but I just got
7:22
this instead man I wish this now that
7:24
I've had Tim Hortons the last three days
7:26
in a row it's going to take a while to
7:28
wean myself back on the
7:31
da to the Starbucks I love to Mor's
7:33
coffee speaking of vending machines I've
7:35
seen ones that sold different types of
7:38
accessories per not profs but
7:40
accessories like headphones and things
7:42
but this one goes a step further is a
7:44
Nintendo switch down there there's even
7:47
some GoPros in here you could buy a
7:49
GoPro out of a vending
7:51
machine and then all the little earbuds
7:53
and chargers and things that's pretty
7:56
nice if you need this if you need any of
7:58
these items now I think this might be my
8:00
plane it's a little smaller plane so the
8:04
first leg I think is only like an hour
8:05
and a half 2 hours maybe even less to
8:08
Minnesota and then from there I got a
8:10
pretty lengthy second half from
8:13
Minnesota to LAX which would be the
8:16
bigger
8:17
plane it's kind of hard to tell because
8:19
it's way down there at the end of the
8:21
gang way there or the little walk offway
8:24
I think that's it though just waiting
8:25
there
8:27
for for boarding which boarding is not
8:29
for another hour or so hour and a half
8:32
got plenty of time plenty of time plenty
8:35
of
8:36
time again really glad I got here
8:40
early everything is good how are
8:50
you yeah to be completely honest I was
8:50
really kind of worried I wasn't going to
8:52
get to the airport in time I had to set
8:55
my alarm for 3 I actually ended up
8:57
waking up earlier than that cuz I was
8:59
like what if my alarm doesn't go off
9:01
it's like if I miss this
9:03
flight that'll be a little bit of an
9:05
inconvenience and I was worried about
9:07
you know getting across the border and
9:08
all that but I do believe getting here
9:11
early to the airport really helped
9:13
taking the Uber early in the morning and
9:15
then look at this is like a little
9:18
eraser with a mousse on the top of it I
9:21
think that helped I think that helped it
9:22
out but now that I'm
9:24
here pretty content that I made it look
9:27
at these little uh little pin here with
9:29
the Canadian maple leaf
9:32
flag I used to use these neck pillow
9:35
things and then I just stopped using
9:37
them I just never they never really did
9:39
much for
9:40
me just personal
9:44
opinion I also love the fact that here
9:47
in Canada at least in Toronto they do
9:49
have pay phon
9:52
still don't see there too much in the
9:54
Usos yeah I don't know if getting 3
9:56
hours of sleep is a sufficient amount
9:59
for a successful night of Slumber but
10:02
and maybe I could take a little little
10:04
cat nap on the plane or a dog nap on the
10:07
plane check this out it's like a little
10:09
doggy area over here they even have a
10:10
little makeshift fake fire Hy well I'm
10:12
assuming a fake fire hydrant for your
10:15
doggies if you're flying with a little
10:16
doggy that's that's like super
10:19
cute right all right evidently even
10:21
though I went through and clarified all
10:23
this at the gate you have to show this
10:25
again so they verified it again they
10:27
call my name up to the front scan this
10:29
like can I put this away put that back
10:30
in the bag like I know you got to scan
10:32
this again when you get on the plane so
10:34
just got to have this handy at all times
10:37
going back into the STS all right I
10:38
think it's just about time to board a
10:40
couple minutes so boarding and in fact
10:43
the plane I pointed out earlier is the
10:45

16:39

17:42
side had two
17:44
seats didn't have anyone sitting
17:46
directly next to me kind like the same
17:48
one I flew in on over to
18:03
it's still early enough to where even
18:03
this the Twin Cities news is not open
18:05
yet there was a time
18:07
change gained an hour he heading
18:10
Westward it's now
18:12
7:43 Minnesota time I'm going to lose
18:16
well gain two more hours as well going
18:20
to
18:21
Al all the time
18:23
changes all right Los
18:27
Angeles right there
18:30
212
18:36
850 where did it
18:36
go there it is right there 850
18:41
g15
19:01
I'm at the a Gates I got to go to G so I
19:01
got a few gates to go
19:17
through not a monor rail it's a dual
19:17
rail there's two rails there
19:37
they have the AC kicking in
19:37
here
19:39
definitely cold inside this compartment
20:08
oh I get one passing by too this is the
20:08
seag
20:21
gates all right I think I missed where I
20:21
needed to go I got to walk back a little
20:24
confusing but evidently I had to get off
20:26
at the last C1 then go up a flight of
20:30
escalators or stairs to the G Gates I
20:32
don't know it's kind of confusing I'm
20:33
going to see if I can figure it out by
20:34
going down this
20:35
way still got a little time it's really
20:39
cold in this airport they have the AC
20:48
cranking okay that's why it's confusing
20:48
so the G gates are up that escalator
20:51
right over there it's a bookstore here
20:53
the world's closest bookstore you were
20:56
here at the world's closest bookstore
20:59
not the world's smallest not the world's
21:01
biggest but the
21:03
world's closest bookstore yeah so note
21:07
to self for your reference if I'm ever
21:09
here again the G gates are on the top
21:12
floor where all the other gates are on
21:13
the lower floor for a connecting
21:16
flight little inconvenient to go from
21:18
the a to G cuz look at this this is like
21:22
most massive
21:24
Corridor all the way to a complete other
21:27
section
21:30
airport
21:36

22:28
speed all right I'll see you later

later again this is a really long
22:40
way from where the plane pulled in
22:43

39:54
pry that's what there are there's a lot
39:54
of history right here on this block
40:04
Tigers and over here's another one this
40:04
is CR Smith right here the chairman and
40:07
president of American
40:18
Airlines all right after all that back
40:18
over at the airport now picking up a
40:21
front here
40:22
flew flying in about landed an hour hour
40:26
and a half after my my flight landed
40:28
coming in from a different destination
40:29
than I
40:37
did we're both here over the next series
40:37
of days that is such an iconic piece
40:40
right there you see that in so many
40:42
movies TV
40:44
shows I think I originally said it was
40:46
the old control tower but I don't really
40:48
know if that's true or not I think maybe
40:49
it was an old restaurant but you see
40:52
that in so many different Productions
40:55
and since the last time I was here they
40:57
have
40:58
well for what I recall I don't remember
40:59
that little overpass being built around
41:01
it but now they built a swirling Road
41:04
possibly for some sort of Transportation
41:05
device maybe a a Montreal around the
41:10
airport I'm glad they left that right
41:12
there though cuz I think is so cool
41:14
looking very retro very
41:17
retro actually the control tower is
41:20
right there that's the control
41:24
tower or possibly the old control to
41:27
Tower it's a control tower of some sort
