  • What are the flights like?

  • Because I know Oklahoma City is an American hub and I know Indianapolis is an American hub.

  • So it can't be that bad, right?

  • Well, I don't fly American.

  • I fly Delta and United in emergencies only.

  • Oh, my God.

  • That is such a West Coast NBA reporter thing of you to do.

  • I mean, yeah, you can stereotype it how you want it.

  • I just think it's by far the best airline.

  • We could throw stats at each other all day long.

  • It is definitely the best airline.

  • But that's like so like anytime I'm with like a Western Conference NBA reporter,

  • they're like, oh, it's Delta all day.

  • The flights are so good.

  • Everything's nice.

  • And I'm like, yes, I'm stuck on American all the time in the Eastern Conference.
