[0.00 --> 4.02] So it's a small house after all because Alex and family are back from London. |
[4.16 --> 5.00] How are you doing, Alex? |
[5.48 --> 7.40] Well, Chris, I'm tired. |
[9.60 --> 10.52] I bet. |
[11.14 --> 12.96] It's a different side of the world, Alex. |
[13.24 --> 13.56] Yeah. |
[13.78 --> 14.34] I don't know. |
[14.50 --> 17.78] This week, I just haven't been able to get back into the groove. |
[18.08 --> 23.58] I went back to work on Monday like a normal person and somehow it's Wednesday night and I'm still tired. |
[24.58 --> 28.48] Typically, I find jet lag about an hour a day and you're about right. |
[28.48 --> 29.96] And it's, you know, we flew back on Saturday. |
[30.06 --> 31.74] I should be good about now. |
[32.26 --> 35.46] I'm recalling that the night you arrived, you said, oh, going east is easy. |
[36.04 --> 36.44] West. |
[36.88 --> 37.80] I guess I screwed that up. |
[39.48 --> 42.20] I think the trouble with going east is from America, at least. |
[42.50 --> 46.88] All the flights across the Atlantic pretty much are red eye flights. |
[47.08 --> 52.42] And so you lose not only the night of good sleep, but then you also get to your destination at 7 a.m. |
[52.68 --> 56.80] And then you have to stay awake all day on top of no sleep. |
[57.20 --> 58.36] Yeah, man. |
[58.48 --> 59.64] So we're all friends here. |
