We have to run here and here. So just good places. Your luggage is out the ether. Yeah. What are your thoughts about your balloon? Oh, balloons. You're already. I think it is. I think it is. The balloon will come about recess or tomorrow is the first or second. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Yeah. The balloon is coming separately. I'm not worried about that. The balloon is going. It's a big thing. So it's not, it's not, it cannot be like that. Excellent. So even if you don't have clothing, at least you can fly over. Yeah. Oh, we do that all the time back. Yeah. Can you give me a full sentence about, you know, we'll have. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So although we, we don't have our clothing for next week, I'm thinking of, yeah. Yeah. And Joanne has got some. She's a bit, yeah, a bit shorter. Well, you know, wearing a skirt is that weird. Yes, 10 before. Yeah. On Halloween, we do it. You know, we can experiment with that. See, you know, see what happens. No, it's going to be okay. It's going to be here tomorrow. All right. Yeah. Albuquerque. The Croatia team. Hold on, do that again. Oh, yeah.
So this is the team Albuquerque and the New Mexico Croatia team. It was them coming to Croatia before. And I was, I was coming here. So yeah. And this is the balloon like half Croatian, half New Mexico. So anybody willing to sponsor that balloon? Give us a call. It's going to be awesome. Yeah. Can we find Albuquerque before? Oh, yeah. This is my third time in Albuquerque. First time as a primary pilot. I came here four years ago. For the first time, we came with this balloon. We're coming now. Last year, Neil arranged a balloon, a friend. Yeah. Okay. So arranged. Yeah. Actually, we knew mom and dad met Neil and Dubai. The last news are having it on like 1965. There's a drop off to the end. Love it. The effect of currently heat drop back. Careful.
Three again, 1965. Love it. Off the back. Please check. Bring your luggage. It is. Go. So mom and dad met Neil and a balloon festival in Dubai. And then Neil said, you know, you need to come. We're going to arrange a balloon for you. We flew jet fearless balloon, which is really a beautiful balloon. And this year, again, Zagreb, it's a balloon. So I'm really happy. I really love flying that. And I love promoting my city. So every time that balloons, you know, when we take it to another country, it always gets like great reactions. It would meet tons of people. And I think it's doing a lot of promotion. And it's a balloon. Like in our club, we work a really long time to get. And it's sort of our pride. So I'm really happy to be here with that balloon this year. And how is it flying in Albuquerque versus anywhere else in the world? Oh, yeah.
Well, flying in Albuquerque is a completely different experience. I mean, we were all kind of scared in the beginning coming here because it's a big city. The winds are pretty strong compared to what we fly back home. And then flying the Albuquerque box is, you know, it takes some skill. So the first year we came. You know, we were kind of flying short flights. You know, not being really that relaxed. And then last year we came. We took a few flights before the Fiesta with me. And he showed us all the spots for landing, how to behave when you fly here. And it was great. You know, the whole Fiesta was really relaxed. We did a couple of great flights. Flying all across the city. And it's really a unique experience flying with all those balloons and competing on the Fiesta too. I mean, usually we go like on big, big balloon events. We go to like the worlds and Europeans. There's a whole competitive part which tends to be really stressful.
But here it's all more relaxed and everybody's having fun. So this is really a highlight of the year for me coming here flying here. Another question I have is when you're flying in the airplane, what do you first see after the window of New Mexico? Actually, I was reading something. But it was me. It was Neil. He was like there, like land. That's that. So that's we have. Yeah, cool. This is a problem where we go. Oh, yeah. We did the balloon cars this year, first time. Nobody created it balloon cars before. But we sort of pick that up here. And we get tons of them. Everybody's going to get them. And oh, yeah. It was, it was just desert. It was beautiful. It is. And when you see the St. Diaz, what are they going to make you think? The first time.
Oh, it's just, you know, as the closer we get here, the more relaxed I become. You know, just leave the work, leave the all problems behind. It's, as I said, it's the highlight of the year for me coming here. It's, it's the best. You know, and you sort of relax. You know, you're going to have like the best three weeks of your life here. Flying, having fun, barbecues playing golf, whatever, skateboarding, the ditches. It's, it's, everything, you know, a sort of dream up. It's here. And they, you know, that's three weeks. So I love it. Hey, how long did you fly to come here for these three weeks? Oh, yeah. But he had, and the only bad thing is you got to fly for ages to hear from Croatia. It wasn't, it was an 18 or 19 hours trip. We flew from Zagreb to Tierra, Zurich, and then from Zurich to Chicago, and then from Chicago to here. And we always, we'll almost miss the flight. We were so tight. I was running all across the Chicago airport, because we're sort of running late on the check-in, and then on the customs.
And then, and we barely made it. I was basically holding the guy on the check-in. You know, hold on with mom and dad. But, you know, we sort of got in. And it was, it turned out okay, but it's exhausting. I'm sort of, it's, it's seven o'clock here. It's three o'clock in a morning back home. And we started off at seven, so in the morning. But it was a long day. And when, when somebody says it's a long day, this was a long day for me. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of long day in a half. Could this be the longest day of the estimate for you? Probably. Although, you know, we might have a good party some days. Well, one of the days. And then maybe, maybe even a longer day will occur. But yeah, this, this is, it's the longest day so far. I will say that much. So I'd like to you to express how excited you are in correlation. So I can hear you in your language.
Do you want me to start call-in? Do you want, do you whom should I talk really intuition? Yeah. Well, hold up. You just, you said it, I would never thought of it, but now you said it. I, it was hard to look at the connectionment of you guys, I think that was it. And I didn't cost much. I just said I was very excited to be here and a big high to everybody in New Mexico and you got to come to the Fiesta and you got to come to the flight of nations and you got to see the creation balloon takeoff, the Zagreb balloon takeoff and I want to hear everybody cheer. Looking at him a little bit more.
Like seeing those screen there. Yeah nodding. Yeah you nod. Now you're nodding. Yeah. Oh yeah you have balloon cards and stuff and we got Zagreb promo stuff. Hold them up for me again. Oh yeah. I'm going to hold one for you. Yeah so Zagreb promo we call it like we say Zagreb a city with million hearts because we had a million inhabitants in Zagreb and like this gingerbread heart is something traditionally made in Zagreb. It's called lead status because Zagreb leads that heart. So that's a catchy phrase for Zagreb. It's a pleasure I said already. No you're not. I'm having fun. I'm being very amused. Not amusing but I'm used. I like it. You know long Korea. Don't make me walk.
That is a buddy and then you say chief and I say you know hey buddy hold on chief. What would be the natural progression? Would be like saying buddy and then you call me chief and I would probably say something like hold on. Oh yeah. Can you imagine this like a being? Going to set. Oh yeah I should have been no but they changed this. Hey man how's it going? How are you going? Good to see you.
Yeah good to see you. So that's what. Hard to fight. That was it was tiresome. Yeah. Yeah and that's the work. I know it now. Well it didn't ready for you. Oh man. I'm starving and I need a beer. We're doing the prep shot for like big Hollywood movie. It's going to be called Chainsaw Massacre in Albuquerque. It's like a big mainstream Hollywood horror movie. Yeah I'll be the mania guy. I got the face. Yeah. See you later. Yeah. Hopefully they're down here. Boy. You got limo? Caviar. Chief campaign.
Chief what what did you say? Cool. I wouldn't have any other way. Chief champagne and expensive beer. There's nothing like a cheap champagne or some expensive caviar. Nice. I love using the fort. Didn't you like it? It's like you know it's sort of just opened them like like this. Mom and dad. Crow Asian pilot lost mom and dad. What? The joke. Redo the joke. A 24 year old Crow Asian pilot lost mom and dad.
Please go through the baggage claim mom and dad if you hear this message. Thank you. I'm scared. Am I losing? And up in that. Yeah. Cool. Can we advertise that? For the ladies next year. And by the way, I'm coming here next year. You're fighting a little in the end. Drop it. Drop it. Can we down here? Sure. You're just waiting for your parents. Oh, okay. That's just anything else you want to say. Courage and profanities. That'd be good. No. I haven't slept much. I haven't slept much. And that is the truth. And that's how they're cooking crumbles.
