1 00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,706 Speaker 1: The Season with Peter Scheger is a production of the 2 00:00:09,786 --> 00:00:24,226 Speaker 1: NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio. What's off, everybody, This is 3 00:00:24,226 --> 00:00:26,466 Speaker 1: Peter Schreger and you're listening to you this season with 4 00:00:26,506 --> 00:00:31,826 Speaker 1: Peter Schreger. It is the Tuesday of Week three of 5 00:00:31,866 --> 00:00:34,746 Speaker 1: the NFL season. So we closed the book with two 6 00:00:34,746 --> 00:00:38,626 Speaker 1: Monday night games last evening, two ugly games. To be honest, 7 00:00:38,786 --> 00:00:42,146 Speaker 1: I mean Steelers win, but they had negative seven yards 8 00:00:42,146 --> 00:00:43,706 Speaker 1: of offense in the fourth quarter. 9 00:00:43,946 --> 00:00:46,346 Speaker 2: And the big story is Nick Chubb, who's a beloved. 10 00:00:46,026 --> 00:00:48,626 Speaker 1: Player in the league and my favorite pound for pal 11 00:00:48,786 --> 00:00:50,706 Speaker 1: running back in the sport, out for the season with 12 00:00:50,706 --> 00:00:54,386 Speaker 1: a gruesome injury. And then Saints Panthers again, like the 13 00:00:54,426 --> 00:00:57,586 Speaker 1: storyline is Saints defense played well. 14 00:00:57,506 --> 00:01:00,346 Speaker 2: That's not it was a tough watch. Saints win. Panthers 15 00:01:00,346 --> 00:01:03,706 Speaker 2: are a year away, maybe more. That offensive line gave 16 00:01:03,906 --> 00:01:07,946 Speaker 2: Bryce Young no help. That's it. That's the NFL. 17 00:01:08,306 --> 00:01:09,946 Speaker 1: You know, week two putting on a bow of it, 18 00:01:09,986 --> 00:01:11,546 Speaker 1: and like you have these two Monday night games and 19 00:01:11,586 --> 00:01:16,826 Speaker 1: you're like, gosh, Saturday night Colorado, Colorado State was so 20 00:01:16,906 --> 00:01:21,306 Speaker 1: much cooler. And I know we're doing an NFL season podcast, 21 00:01:21,346 --> 00:01:25,786 Speaker 1: but you can't tell the season of football without talking 22 00:01:25,826 --> 00:01:27,666 Speaker 1: about this Dion effect. 23 00:01:28,106 --> 00:01:29,306 Speaker 2: Let me just take you through it. 24 00:01:29,386 --> 00:01:32,226 Speaker 1: Aaron and I'm with Aaron wan Kaufman, my great producer 25 00:01:32,266 --> 00:01:34,826 Speaker 1: and friend, and Jason English is here as well from 26 00:01:34,826 --> 00:01:35,546 Speaker 1: my heart list. 27 00:01:36,506 --> 00:01:39,626 Speaker 2: I'm on a flight. I'm on a Jet Blue flight. 28 00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:44,666 Speaker 1: And I'm in one of those deals where the TVs 29 00:01:44,706 --> 00:01:46,586 Speaker 1: are on all over across, all over the place, so 30 00:01:46,586 --> 00:01:49,146 Speaker 1: you could see all the TVs. I flew out on 31 00:01:49,306 --> 00:01:54,906 Speaker 1: like ten am Eastern, which means that like both Game 32 00:01:54,986 --> 00:01:58,386 Speaker 1: Day and Fox's new show Fox Big Noon Kickoff are 33 00:01:58,426 --> 00:02:02,226 Speaker 1: both on it too. They're both at Colorado and in 34 00:02:02,266 --> 00:02:05,746 Speaker 1: the same flight. I would say that usually it's you're 35 00:02:05,746 --> 00:02:08,506 Speaker 1: getting people watch and the Housewives. You've got someone watching, 36 00:02:08,906 --> 00:02:12,466 Speaker 1: you know, Taken as a movie. You've got some kids 37 00:02:12,466 --> 00:02:16,266 Speaker 1: watching every TV's watching Colorado Colorado State pregame. And I'd 38 00:02:16,266 --> 00:02:18,306 Speaker 1: say it was split down the middle between the Fox 39 00:02:18,426 --> 00:02:20,586 Speaker 1: and the ESPN. But the fact matter is on one 40 00:02:20,586 --> 00:02:24,146 Speaker 1: camera you've got the Rock in ESPN sending you know, 41 00:02:24,346 --> 00:02:25,306 Speaker 1: their talent. 42 00:02:25,066 --> 00:02:27,426 Speaker 2: And having McAfee with the Rock over there. On the 43 00:02:27,466 --> 00:02:28,426 Speaker 2: other camp, I've. 44 00:02:28,306 --> 00:02:32,306 Speaker 1: Got Lil Wayne performing, who then tosses it to Gronk, 45 00:02:32,346 --> 00:02:34,706 Speaker 1: who's there inexplicably, but like it's the hype man and 46 00:02:34,866 --> 00:02:38,146 Speaker 1: was great, and then Dion's on camera and he's doing 47 00:02:38,186 --> 00:02:41,546 Speaker 1: interviews with both on set, and the wild thing to 48 00:02:41,586 --> 00:02:44,826 Speaker 1: me is that it was like eight am Local. They 49 00:02:44,826 --> 00:02:48,066 Speaker 1: didn't play for another twelve hours, and the fans and 50 00:02:48,146 --> 00:02:51,386 Speaker 1: the students had to like go nuts per game day, 51 00:02:51,426 --> 00:02:54,666 Speaker 1: go nuts for the Fox show, and then like somehow 52 00:02:54,706 --> 00:02:57,186 Speaker 1: bottle it and go out there and do it all 53 00:02:57,226 --> 00:02:59,466 Speaker 1: over again during the game. Then once the game starts. 54 00:02:59,466 --> 00:03:01,786 Speaker 1: Did you see the rating this morning, Aaron? See the 55 00:03:01,866 --> 00:03:02,506 Speaker 1: number come out? 56 00:03:02,826 --> 00:03:05,546 Speaker 3: No, I mean from the sheer amount of people talking 57 00:03:05,586 --> 00:03:08,306 Speaker 3: about it, I have to it's incredible, all. 58 00:03:08,266 --> 00:03:08,706 Speaker 2: Right, So. 59 00:03:10,226 --> 00:03:12,066 Speaker 1: I'd love I wish we had Like there's a guy 60 00:03:12,146 --> 00:03:16,146 Speaker 1: named Mike mulva Hill who does Fox ratings analysis, and 61 00:03:16,146 --> 00:03:18,146 Speaker 1: there's all these other ratings people online. There's a guy 62 00:03:18,226 --> 00:03:20,946 Speaker 1: named sports TV Ratings, the Twitter feed, there's another thing 63 00:03:20,946 --> 00:03:23,706 Speaker 1: like Paulson they do the ratings. It got a nine 64 00:03:23,746 --> 00:03:28,506 Speaker 1: point three unlinear, so forget all the streaming thing. They 65 00:03:28,506 --> 00:03:31,426 Speaker 1: already said it was the most streamed college football game 66 00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:34,426 Speaker 1: of all time on ESPN, but at nine to three 67 00:03:34,586 --> 00:03:37,386 Speaker 1: means it had nine point three million people watching. 68 00:03:37,426 --> 00:03:40,426 Speaker 2: Now think about when this thing was on. 69 00:03:41,226 --> 00:03:45,106 Speaker 1: It started at ten o'clock Eastern, meaning it carried an 70 00:03:45,146 --> 00:03:49,066 Speaker 1: audience through midnight to one. I'll be honest with you, 71 00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:51,506 Speaker 1: you know I told you my routine not a big 72 00:03:51,546 --> 00:03:55,386 Speaker 1: go out guy. Charles Woodson is a great idea. He says, 73 00:03:55,466 --> 00:03:59,786 Speaker 1: let's watch the start of Dion at the hotel bar 74 00:04:00,106 --> 00:04:01,026 Speaker 1: and we'll get some food. 75 00:04:01,226 --> 00:04:02,666 Speaker 2: I at the start. I want to see the starts. 76 00:04:02,746 --> 00:04:04,866 Speaker 1: Yeah, they come out, well, they come out and there's 77 00:04:04,866 --> 00:04:07,146 Speaker 1: a pick six out of the gates and there, and 78 00:04:07,186 --> 00:04:09,026 Speaker 1: then there's a it's called back. 79 00:04:08,786 --> 00:04:11,306 Speaker 2: And then there's another play, and all of a sudden. 80 00:04:11,026 --> 00:04:15,026 Speaker 1: It's this date of this backyard brawl where Hunter is 81 00:04:15,026 --> 00:04:17,266 Speaker 1: getting the shot from the Colorado State kid, but Colorado 82 00:04:17,306 --> 00:04:19,626 Speaker 1: State will not back down, and they're doing crossing patterns 83 00:04:19,626 --> 00:04:23,426 Speaker 1: and they're killing Colorado and you're starting to I can't 84 00:04:23,466 --> 00:04:28,066 Speaker 1: turn this off. It was amazing. Stayed up watched the 85 00:04:28,186 --> 00:04:31,106 Speaker 1: entire thing. I was fortunate enough to be watching it 86 00:04:31,146 --> 00:04:32,506 Speaker 1: with one of the greatest players of all time, with 87 00:04:32,586 --> 00:04:34,986 Speaker 1: Charles Woodson breaking it down, and we're having fun watching. 88 00:04:35,346 --> 00:04:37,026 Speaker 1: But I'm getting text from my friends on the East 89 00:04:37,066 --> 00:04:38,826 Speaker 1: Coast who are watching. So if I'm on the West 90 00:04:38,866 --> 00:04:42,506 Speaker 1: coast and it ends at at like nine to ten pm. 91 00:04:43,306 --> 00:04:46,026 Speaker 1: People are watching on the East coast that want all right, So, 92 00:04:46,226 --> 00:04:48,586 Speaker 1: to me, this Dion craze is the story of the 93 00:04:48,586 --> 00:04:51,386 Speaker 1: football season right now. I love Tua, I love Lamar, 94 00:04:51,786 --> 00:04:54,666 Speaker 1: but like I know, we're the NFL and this is 95 00:04:54,706 --> 00:04:58,146 Speaker 1: the NFL season. But if you're kidding yourself, you don't 96 00:04:58,186 --> 00:05:01,746 Speaker 1: think Dion has been the story of football. And now 97 00:05:01,746 --> 00:05:05,066 Speaker 1: they go to play Oregon. Now what's crazy is they 98 00:05:05,146 --> 00:05:08,666 Speaker 1: might lose to Oregon. Oregon's really good. They're without Travis Hunter, 99 00:05:08,706 --> 00:05:10,706 Speaker 1: obviously he got injuries. To me, had a couple of weeks. 100 00:05:11,266 --> 00:05:14,946 Speaker 1: The following week, they host usc and did you see 101 00:05:14,946 --> 00:05:15,586 Speaker 1: what time that. 102 00:05:15,546 --> 00:05:16,106 Speaker 2: Game is at? 103 00:05:16,746 --> 00:05:22,586 Speaker 1: That game is at nine am local Colorado or ten 104 00:05:22,626 --> 00:05:23,626 Speaker 1: am Mountain time. 105 00:05:24,546 --> 00:05:27,186 Speaker 2: Like Fox is doing their pregame. Fox is gonna be there. 106 00:05:27,226 --> 00:05:29,866 Speaker 1: They're gonna be at Boulder, and they're like, we're going 107 00:05:29,866 --> 00:05:32,466 Speaker 1: straight from big noon kickoff to this one. They're playing 108 00:05:32,466 --> 00:05:36,586 Speaker 1: it at ten am, and it's Caleb Williams, the Heisman winner, 109 00:05:36,786 --> 00:05:41,626 Speaker 1: versus coach Prime and his sons and the. 110 00:05:41,626 --> 00:05:42,066 Speaker 2: Crew they have. 111 00:05:42,586 --> 00:05:45,706 Speaker 1: And like, as I'm watching football on Sunday and I'm 112 00:05:45,746 --> 00:05:49,186 Speaker 1: on the jet Blue flight back and I fly Jet 113 00:05:49,226 --> 00:05:51,386 Speaker 1: Blue if I can, if the timings work out, because 114 00:05:51,426 --> 00:05:54,146 Speaker 1: they have again a lot of air travel talk with me. 115 00:05:54,226 --> 00:05:55,706 Speaker 2: This is the season they have. 116 00:05:56,026 --> 00:05:57,706 Speaker 1: It's not like you have the log into a Wi 117 00:05:57,746 --> 00:06:00,186 Speaker 1: Fi and then work and stream. It's they have it 118 00:06:00,226 --> 00:06:02,786 Speaker 1: in the back of the seat. They've got the direct ticket, 119 00:06:02,826 --> 00:06:04,226 Speaker 1: which is a great thing. And I was worried that 120 00:06:04,346 --> 00:06:06,386 Speaker 1: the Sunday ticket would be gone with the new deals. No, no, 121 00:06:06,546 --> 00:06:09,066 Speaker 1: still there. So you're watching and then the Sean Payton 122 00:06:09,106 --> 00:06:11,946 Speaker 1: game goes to overtime versus Ron Rivera. I love that matchup. 123 00:06:12,426 --> 00:06:14,666 Speaker 1: Ron a great friend, Shawn a great friend. Two guys 124 00:06:14,786 --> 00:06:16,706 Speaker 1: used to battle it out in the NFC South. That 125 00:06:16,746 --> 00:06:19,106 Speaker 1: game goes to the final play to Hail Mary. Then 126 00:06:19,106 --> 00:06:21,746 Speaker 1: a two point conversion should have been a past interference call, 127 00:06:21,866 --> 00:06:25,426 Speaker 1: there wasn't crimea river We go then we go to 128 00:06:25,586 --> 00:06:28,066 Speaker 1: sixty minutes and who is John worthtime sitting down with 129 00:06:28,146 --> 00:06:28,986 Speaker 1: Did you see erin. 130 00:06:29,306 --> 00:06:31,986 Speaker 3: H I wonder if we've mentioned him already to that 131 00:06:32,146 --> 00:06:32,986 Speaker 3: coach Prime? 132 00:06:33,866 --> 00:06:36,866 Speaker 1: Actually I don't know if it was in the same episode. 133 00:06:37,066 --> 00:06:39,466 Speaker 1: What's the Ukrainian President's name? This is why I don't 134 00:06:39,466 --> 00:06:42,306 Speaker 1: host a morning show like I'm Nate Berlason or a 135 00:06:42,346 --> 00:06:45,946 Speaker 1: straight ahead Lensky. So I don't know if it was 136 00:06:46,026 --> 00:06:48,706 Speaker 1: this week or last week, but someone did a thing. 137 00:06:49,066 --> 00:06:54,066 Speaker 1: The Coach Prime sixty minutes interview has like ten million 138 00:06:54,146 --> 00:06:57,186 Speaker 1: viewers already online, like they could like count that the 139 00:06:57,786 --> 00:07:00,586 Speaker 1: Zelenski has two millions. So if you're just looking for 140 00:07:00,626 --> 00:07:03,786 Speaker 1: cultural relevance, and maybe that's a statement on America's interest 141 00:07:03,786 --> 00:07:05,146 Speaker 1: in Ukraine at this point, I don't know. 142 00:07:05,546 --> 00:07:06,306 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to. 143 00:07:06,226 --> 00:07:09,666 Speaker 1: Get political here. The NFL is gonna strike that from 144 00:07:09,666 --> 00:07:13,866 Speaker 1: the podcast. I'm just saying Prime has a bigger footprint 145 00:07:13,866 --> 00:07:17,226 Speaker 1: online than Zelensky right now. Although Zelensky did meet Ben 146 00:07:17,226 --> 00:07:20,386 Speaker 1: Stiller and Sean Penn On that note, we're talking celebrities. 147 00:07:20,746 --> 00:07:22,946 Speaker 1: Do you know that Zelenski actually was the voice of 148 00:07:23,106 --> 00:07:27,986 Speaker 1: Paddington for the Ukrainian version of the Paddington Bear. 149 00:07:28,186 --> 00:07:31,066 Speaker 3: They's dubbed over Paddington did the voice? 150 00:07:31,186 --> 00:07:33,386 Speaker 1: Yes, he was an actor and like a comedian in 151 00:07:33,426 --> 00:07:37,666 Speaker 1: a game show host before he was Zelensky.

That's as 230 00:11:04,226 --> 00:11:07,426 Speaker 4: big as I ever dreamed.

And then in twenty fourteen, I 233 00:11:13,346 --> 00:11:15,466 Speaker 4: was down an All Star weekend in New Orleans and 234 00:11:15,506 --> 00:11:18,986 Speaker 4: had interviews like two Chains and John Wall and all 235 00:11:18,986 --> 00:11:22,906 Speaker 4: these basketball players and musicians, and at that time, every 236 00:11:23,506 --> 00:11:26,706 Speaker 4: magazine was becoming a YouTube channel basically, and they were like, 237 00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:30,506 Speaker 4: we put these on camera just because we need just 238 00:11:30,586 --> 00:11:32,866 Speaker 4: videos to put on our YouTube channels. It's like, yeah, 239 00:11:32,906 --> 00:11:35,746 Speaker 4: we just need content. So I said, sure, please do 240 00:11:35,946 --> 00:11:38,426 Speaker 4: that would be awesome. And then they liked them enough 241 00:11:38,466 --> 00:11:40,946 Speaker 4: to offer me a full time job. So I quit 242 00:11:40,946 --> 00:11:42,706 Speaker 4: what I had going on in Chicago and sold on 243 00:11:42,826 --> 00:11:44,986 Speaker 4: my stuff and broke my lease. And I was in 244 00:11:45,066 --> 00:11:47,946 Speaker 4: New York with four roommates, so I'd never met before, 245 00:11:48,186 --> 00:11:52,586 Speaker 4: like thirty days later, and then I met Chris Schoenberger 246 00:11:52,586 --> 00:11:55,906 Speaker 4: in the office and we became friends he's the GM 247 00:11:55,906 --> 00:11:58,826 Speaker 4: of First We Feast. He had this idea, what if 248 00:11:58,826 --> 00:12:01,546 Speaker 4: we interviewed celebrities but had the meat increasingly spicy chicken 249 00:12:01,546 --> 00:12:02,826 Speaker 4: wings over the course of the interview. 250 00:12:03,146 --> 00:12:06,266 Speaker 5: I thought it was genius. We hammered out a pilot. 251 00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:09,306 Speaker 4: We shot a pilot with Tony Yeo, and we haven't 252 00:12:09,306 --> 00:12:11,626 Speaker 4: stopped shooting him since that was almost nine years ago. 253 00:12:11,706 --> 00:12:14,786 Speaker 4: And here we are twenty two seasons, over three hundred episodes. 254 00:12:14,826 --> 00:12:18,786 Speaker 1: It's been three episodes, twenty two seasons, and like the 255 00:12:18,826 --> 00:12:22,226 Speaker 1: star power, it's it's getting bigger and bigger. Now. Of 256 00:12:22,266 --> 00:12:25,266 Speaker 1: course we've seen the cliff with like Paul Rudd and 257 00:12:25,426 --> 00:12:27,426 Speaker 1: Matt Damon had that great answer with you, But like 258 00:12:27,906 --> 00:12:31,146 Speaker 1: this past season, I'm watching it and it's you know, 259 00:12:31,466 --> 00:12:35,546 Speaker 1: Jake Joanall, and then the next week it's Karen Colkin, Like, 260 00:12:35,986 --> 00:12:39,346 Speaker 1: you guys continue to get these A list actors? 261 00:12:39,466 --> 00:12:41,586 Speaker 2: Are they pitching you? Are you pitching them? 262 00:12:41,666 --> 00:12:44,546 Speaker 1: Because I watched all these other shows at late night 263 00:12:44,586 --> 00:12:46,306 Speaker 1: and in the mornings and like they're not getting a 264 00:12:46,386 --> 00:12:46,946 Speaker 1: list anymore. 265 00:12:47,026 --> 00:12:50,586 Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, I think that's we have to be resourceful. 266 00:12:50,626 --> 00:12:53,346 Speaker 4: I think that's kind of an edge for us. And 267 00:12:53,746 --> 00:12:56,426 Speaker 4: we have a spreadsheet that, you know, is all of 268 00:12:56,466 --> 00:12:59,026 Speaker 4: our targets, all the times that we've pitched them over 269 00:12:59,066 --> 00:13:01,906 Speaker 4: like the last decade, whether the trail is warm, whether 270 00:13:01,946 --> 00:13:04,346 Speaker 4: it's hot, whether it's cold, you know, all those different things. 271 00:13:04,506 --> 00:13:06,586 Speaker 4: What movies do they have coming out? With things they 272 00:13:06,626 --> 00:13:08,626 Speaker 4: have coming out, is it time to pitch them again 273 00:13:08,666 --> 00:13:10,866 Speaker 4: if it was a little bit warmer last time, you know, 274 00:13:11,346 --> 00:13:13,986 Speaker 4: and then just trying to find those dates. And yeah, 275 00:13:13,986 --> 00:13:16,026 Speaker 4: it is crazy that it's gotten to the point where 276 00:13:16,066 --> 00:13:18,786 Speaker 4: now I would say half of our guests are incoming 277 00:13:18,866 --> 00:13:21,186 Speaker 4: and half of them are outgoing. You know, it's just 278 00:13:21,266 --> 00:13:24,226 Speaker 4: us being aggressive and we can pop up the show. 279 00:13:24,346 --> 00:13:25,946 Speaker 4: You know, if you're in LA we'll hop on a 280 00:13:25,986 --> 00:13:29,346 Speaker 4: plane go meet up the show. Yeah, it travels. We 281 00:13:29,346 --> 00:13:31,026 Speaker 4: could pop up in a garage if we want, so. 282 00:13:31,066 --> 00:13:33,426 Speaker 4: I think that's been kind of an advantage for us, 283 00:13:33,466 --> 00:13:36,226 Speaker 4: and we do care. I mean, that's the driving force 284 00:13:36,266 --> 00:13:38,946 Speaker 4: of everything that we do, is putting on a show 285 00:13:38,986 --> 00:13:41,586 Speaker 4: that people are interested in. That our fans who've been 286 00:13:41,586 --> 00:13:43,426 Speaker 4: so loyal for all this time and have allowed us 287 00:13:43,786 --> 00:13:45,826 Speaker 4: to have a show with such longevity, and we just 288 00:13:45,866 --> 00:13:48,466 Speaker 4: try to feed that beast. So that's always the motivating 289 00:13:49,226 --> 00:13:51,906 Speaker 4: driving force with everything that we do and that's what 290 00:13:51,986 --> 00:13:54,426 Speaker 4: keeps us up at night. And over the years we've 291 00:13:54,426 --> 00:13:56,386 Speaker 4: gotten a pretty good at it, you know, but I 292 00:13:56,466 --> 00:13:58,786 Speaker 4: never take it for granted ever. You know, the guests 293 00:13:58,786 --> 00:14:02,026 Speaker 4: that we've had in I think that's our crowning achievement 294 00:14:02,066 --> 00:14:03,746 Speaker 4: of our show, and I'm really proud of it. 295 00:14:03,746 --> 00:14:05,426 Speaker 1: It used to be you'd want to do like a 296 00:14:05,466 --> 00:14:07,866 Speaker 1: magazine cover, you've got a big movie coming out, and 297 00:14:07,946 --> 00:14:10,106 Speaker 1: maybe you do a junket Like now, I feel like, 298 00:14:10,706 --> 00:14:13,226 Speaker 1: put me on hot Ones with Sean all two questions. 299 00:14:13,266 --> 00:14:14,586 Speaker 2: It'll go viral, We'll have a. 300 00:14:14,506 --> 00:14:16,146 Speaker 1: Great moment and then people will be aware of the 301 00:14:16,186 --> 00:14:17,466 Speaker 1: movie that's coming out. 302 00:14:17,746 --> 00:14:20,066 Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that's just shows how things have changed 303 00:14:20,106 --> 00:14:22,346 Speaker 4: where those are the things that move the needle now. 304 00:14:22,506 --> 00:14:26,026 Speaker 4: And you know, that's always the case that I try 305 00:14:26,066 --> 00:14:27,986 Speaker 4: to make is yeah, there's this caveat where you have 306 00:14:27,986 --> 00:14:30,626 Speaker 4: to eat scorching not chicken wings. But people care and 307 00:14:30,666 --> 00:14:34,186 Speaker 4: they show up and they filled the auditorium and they 308 00:14:34,306 --> 00:14:37,426 Speaker 4: cheer you on no matter how things go over the 309 00:14:37,426 --> 00:14:40,506 Speaker 4: course of the interview, and it's a humanizing experience for 310 00:14:40,626 --> 00:14:43,106 Speaker 4: celebrities who are often put out a pedestal. We all 311 00:14:43,146 --> 00:14:45,226 Speaker 4: know what it's like to die on hot sauce, So 312 00:14:45,266 --> 00:14:48,266 Speaker 4: it actually kind of knocks that person off that pedestal 313 00:14:48,706 --> 00:14:51,186 Speaker 4: humanizes them. And it's just one of those things where 314 00:14:51,186 --> 00:14:53,466 Speaker 4: I think we accidentally invented that what's it like to 315 00:14:53,506 --> 00:14:54,466 Speaker 4: have a beer with that person? 316 00:14:54,546 --> 00:14:54,746 Speaker 2: Show? 317 00:14:54,746 --> 00:14:56,626 Speaker 4: And it's a unique look for the guests as well. 318 00:14:56,706 --> 00:14:59,106 Speaker 4: So as much as that, there's kind of a drag 319 00:14:59,146 --> 00:15:00,506 Speaker 4: on it where it's like, yeah, you have to eat 320 00:15:00,506 --> 00:15:03,066 Speaker 4: the scorching out chicken wings. The way I look at it, 321 00:15:03,106 --> 00:15:04,666 Speaker 4: I see a lot of upside. 322 00:15:04,346 --> 00:15:09,306 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the wings are it's the shiny object. It's 323 00:15:09,346 --> 00:15:12,506 Speaker 1: so secondary to the interviews because you're not asking typical questions. 324 00:15:12,506 --> 00:15:14,906 Speaker 1: You're not telling me about it, what's this funny story? 325 00:15:14,906 --> 00:15:15,266 Speaker 2: On set? 326 00:15:15,306 --> 00:15:19,026 Speaker 1: You're doing your research and like deep research, and you're 327 00:15:19,026 --> 00:15:24,106 Speaker 1: asking about their childhoods, their philosophies, and you must mind 328 00:15:24,306 --> 00:15:27,386 Speaker 1: so much information. I think if you watch hot ones 329 00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:29,306 Speaker 1: you know that, and if you don't watch it, trust 330 00:15:29,386 --> 00:15:31,466 Speaker 1: me these questions. It's not like this is just your 331 00:15:31,506 --> 00:15:34,186 Speaker 1: standard junket and you go deep. How do you do 332 00:15:34,226 --> 00:15:35,906 Speaker 1: your research for these interviews? You have a team of 333 00:15:35,906 --> 00:15:38,106 Speaker 1: guys and gals that are doing this because a lot 334 00:15:38,106 --> 00:15:40,386 Speaker 1: of times you'll reference things from interviews ten years ago 335 00:15:40,426 --> 00:15:41,146 Speaker 1: that they've said. 336 00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:43,626 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you just try to look at 337 00:15:43,666 --> 00:15:46,546 Speaker 4: everything that you possibly can, read everything that you possibly can. 338 00:15:46,586 --> 00:15:48,906 Speaker 4: If they're an actor, I'll watch their movies. If they've 339 00:15:48,906 --> 00:15:51,386 Speaker 4: written books, I'll read the books. If they're a musician, 340 00:15:51,506 --> 00:15:54,266 Speaker 4: that'll become the soundtrack of my week, you know. And 341 00:15:54,306 --> 00:15:56,386 Speaker 4: then I just try to marinate in that. I do 342 00:15:56,706 --> 00:15:59,666 Speaker 4: have my little brother Gavin, who I've put out there 343 00:15:59,746 --> 00:16:04,586 Speaker 4: to create these packets, these research dossier's, and Chris does 344 00:16:04,586 --> 00:16:06,386 Speaker 4: it as well, and I do it, and we've just 345 00:16:06,586 --> 00:16:08,786 Speaker 4: kind of kept that same process going for a really 346 00:16:08,826 --> 00:16:09,866 Speaker 4: long time. There aren't that. 347 00:16:09,746 --> 00:16:12,066 Speaker 5: Many chefs in the kitchen. It's just kind of us. 348 00:16:12,106 --> 00:16:16,106 Speaker 4: But everybody's motivated again by that driving force to create 349 00:16:16,626 --> 00:16:17,346 Speaker 4: a good show. 350 00:16:17,346 --> 00:16:18,586 Speaker 5: And I think that that's what you need. 351 00:16:18,626 --> 00:16:20,426 Speaker 4: If it were just people dying on hot sauce, I 352 00:16:20,426 --> 00:16:22,186 Speaker 4: think the audience would have tuned out by now. It 353 00:16:22,186 --> 00:16:25,346 Speaker 4: has to be an excellent interview show combined with this 354 00:16:25,426 --> 00:16:28,746 Speaker 4: unique hook. Again, that's our driving force for everything. 355 00:16:28,386 --> 00:16:30,066 Speaker 5: That we do, and it's kind of fun. 356 00:16:30,186 --> 00:16:33,066 Speaker 4: I think I'm a naturally curious person and I really 357 00:16:33,186 --> 00:16:35,866 Speaker 4: enjoy the process of walking a mile in someone else's 358 00:16:35,866 --> 00:16:37,906 Speaker 4: shoes for a week, and so it never gets old 359 00:16:37,906 --> 00:16:39,906 Speaker 4: for me, there's never any attrition that sets in. I 360 00:16:40,466 --> 00:16:43,786 Speaker 4: really enjoy that, and honestly, what an amazing job to 361 00:16:43,946 --> 00:16:46,306 Speaker 4: just even have that. You know, that can be your 362 00:16:46,346 --> 00:16:50,506 Speaker 4: kind of nine to five existence. So that's it. 363 00:16:50,546 --> 00:16:52,266 Speaker 5: You just try to marinate in it and then do 364 00:16:52,346 --> 00:16:53,426 Speaker 5: the best that you can and. 365 00:16:54,946 --> 00:16:56,426 Speaker 4: See what happens. You know. 366 00:16:56,466 --> 00:16:56,986 Speaker 2: That's but I. 367 00:16:56,986 --> 00:17:00,066 Speaker 4: Always think that it's important that we put an effort 368 00:17:00,106 --> 00:17:02,346 Speaker 4: in for the guest because they're jumping through a lot 369 00:17:02,346 --> 00:17:04,186 Speaker 4: of hoops for us, you know what I mean, Like, 370 00:17:04,386 --> 00:17:07,786 Speaker 4: if it's a lazy, boring interview, then I think that's 371 00:17:07,826 --> 00:17:09,906 Speaker 4: part of the reason people make it through so often 372 00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:13,426 Speaker 4: and don't cut out, is because they're kind of roped 373 00:17:13,426 --> 00:17:16,946 Speaker 4: in not only by this ridiculous wing stunt, but also 374 00:17:17,026 --> 00:17:19,786 Speaker 4: by you know, an interview that's like, as we like 375 00:17:19,826 --> 00:17:21,746 Speaker 4: to put it, the most comfortable, least comfortable. 376 00:17:22,146 --> 00:17:23,506 Speaker 2: I've done my research on you. 377 00:17:23,586 --> 00:17:26,466 Speaker 1: Nothing to dig up that's bad, But tell me about 378 00:17:26,466 --> 00:17:28,906 Speaker 1: giving tours of Chicago architecture. 379 00:17:29,786 --> 00:17:32,146 Speaker 2: Tell me about this. So that was my. 380 00:17:32,586 --> 00:17:35,466 Speaker 4: Summer job from I think when I was a senior 381 00:17:35,866 --> 00:17:38,746 Speaker 4: in high school all the way through college. So for 382 00:17:38,826 --> 00:17:41,306 Speaker 4: all of these summers, I would just stack tours so 383 00:17:41,346 --> 00:17:44,186 Speaker 4: it was a ninety minute river and lake tour and 384 00:17:44,546 --> 00:17:46,626 Speaker 4: you'd have, you know, one hundred and fifty two hundred 385 00:17:46,626 --> 00:17:49,186 Speaker 4: people on the boat every time. And I always think, 386 00:17:49,226 --> 00:17:51,146 Speaker 4: you know, I was a broadcast journalism major, But I 387 00:17:51,146 --> 00:17:54,786 Speaker 4: think the most important thing in my whole journey to 388 00:17:54,866 --> 00:17:57,186 Speaker 4: being like where I am now, the most important sort 389 00:17:57,226 --> 00:18:00,506 Speaker 4: of side mission was these boat tours. Because you'd be 390 00:18:00,706 --> 00:18:03,546 Speaker 4: up in front of people, You'd always be doing a performance, 391 00:18:03,866 --> 00:18:06,106 Speaker 4: and I think it was that that really helped the 392 00:18:06,106 --> 00:18:10,946 Speaker 4: story telling, that helped the pacing, that helped build my confidence. 393 00:18:11,346 --> 00:18:13,786 Speaker 4: And I would just do these tours all summer long. 394 00:18:13,906 --> 00:18:15,986 Speaker 4: You'd work like six days a week. They'd be really 395 00:18:16,026 --> 00:18:19,106 Speaker 4: long days that could start at eight am and end 396 00:18:19,146 --> 00:18:21,746 Speaker 4: at eight pm. And I remember you'd make tips and 397 00:18:21,786 --> 00:18:24,226 Speaker 4: you'd work in like these boats with so many people. 398 00:18:24,266 --> 00:18:27,986 Speaker 4: I'd be just stuffing my backpack with cash every day. 399 00:18:28,226 --> 00:18:32,306 Speaker 4: The best. It was the best job. And I often 400 00:18:32,386 --> 00:18:34,426 Speaker 4: think that if there's one thing I could kind of 401 00:18:34,426 --> 00:18:36,026 Speaker 4: go back to, like I almost think I could go 402 00:18:36,106 --> 00:18:36,906 Speaker 4: back and do it. 403 00:18:36,826 --> 00:18:39,346 Speaker 2: Now, to it just like I just just be free 404 00:18:39,386 --> 00:18:40,306 Speaker 2: and like liberated. 405 00:18:40,746 --> 00:18:43,986 Speaker 5: It was the best summer job ever ever, Ever. 406 00:18:43,866 --> 00:18:45,866 Speaker 2: Do you want to know what I did? What did 407 00:18:45,906 --> 00:18:46,106 Speaker 2: you do? 408 00:18:46,186 --> 00:18:47,386 Speaker 4: Yeah?

Still, there's certain 428 00:19:34,466 --> 00:19:36,706 Speaker 1: football players that will walk in or celebrities and I'm like, 429 00:19:36,786 --> 00:19:38,866 Speaker 1: I can't believe that's really Barry Sanders like and I 430 00:19:38,906 --> 00:19:40,226 Speaker 1: like want to like look them in the eyes and 431 00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:42,906 Speaker 1: be like do you realize do you get af struck? 432 00:19:42,946 --> 00:19:46,226 Speaker 1: I know you have everyone from Scarlett Johanson to to 433 00:19:46,506 --> 00:19:49,786 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence to you name the biggest stars, and like, 434 00:19:49,906 --> 00:19:51,546 Speaker 1: do you get starstruck or do you just look at 435 00:19:51,546 --> 00:19:52,506 Speaker 1: this as this is my job. 436 00:19:52,506 --> 00:19:54,266 Speaker 2: They have to respect it. I'm in my arena. 437 00:19:54,666 --> 00:19:57,306 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how I look at it. I really do. 438 00:19:57,426 --> 00:20:01,106 Speaker 4: I don't get starstruck. There is always the moment when 439 00:20:01,146 --> 00:20:03,386 Speaker 4: they walk into the room and you see them where 440 00:20:03,426 --> 00:20:07,826 Speaker 4: you get a little butterfly performance anxiety thing that's kind 441 00:20:07,826 --> 00:20:09,986 Speaker 4: of fun to feel, you know, it feels. 442 00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:10,386 Speaker 5: A little bit alive. 443 00:20:10,706 --> 00:20:13,786 Speaker 4: So I definitely get that, But I don't get I 444 00:20:13,826 --> 00:20:17,466 Speaker 4: don't think I get starstruck or anything. You know, there's 445 00:20:17,506 --> 00:20:20,146 Speaker 4: just there's certain to use a football analogy. There are 446 00:20:20,186 --> 00:20:23,586 Speaker 4: certain shoots that feel like playoff games, or you know, 447 00:20:23,746 --> 00:20:26,306 Speaker 4: Gordon Ramsey coming in that felt like a super. 448 00:20:26,066 --> 00:20:30,426 Speaker 2: Bowl because it's culinary, or because he's such a enigma. 449 00:20:31,186 --> 00:20:33,426 Speaker 4: I think it's because, you know, when we first started 450 00:20:33,426 --> 00:20:36,666 Speaker 4: doing the show, fans would request him at nauseum, almost 451 00:20:36,666 --> 00:20:37,986 Speaker 4: to the point where it got hard to do the show. 452 00:20:37,986 --> 00:20:40,266 Speaker 4: We'd announce the new guests like this week on the show, 453 00:20:40,306 --> 00:20:41,826 Speaker 4: this person. All the comments would be like when are 454 00:20:41,826 --> 00:20:45,506 Speaker 4: we getting Gordon Ramsey? Is this albatross going around our next? 455 00:20:45,506 --> 00:20:48,506 Speaker 4: That almost made it hard to do the show. So 456 00:20:48,546 --> 00:20:50,946 Speaker 4: I think it was this internet fever dream that had 457 00:20:50,986 --> 00:20:54,106 Speaker 4: forced us both into the room together. And he felt 458 00:20:54,106 --> 00:20:55,906 Speaker 4: it too and I felt it too. So in moments 459 00:20:55,906 --> 00:20:58,346 Speaker 4: like that, it feels like maybe there's more at stake 460 00:20:59,346 --> 00:21:03,626 Speaker 4: than just a regular shoot, but that overall, I think 461 00:21:03,746 --> 00:21:06,386 Speaker 4: it's there's a job to do there, and I don't 462 00:21:06,506 --> 00:21:10,426 Speaker 4: think being sycophantic does anything to serve an interview. So 463 00:21:10,786 --> 00:21:13,546 Speaker 4: if you even do have those feelings, try to check 464 00:21:13,546 --> 00:21:15,746 Speaker 4: them as much as you can and just do your job. 465 00:21:16,626 --> 00:21:17,386 Speaker 5: Just do your job. 466 00:21:17,626 --> 00:21:20,266 Speaker 4: That's I'll let you get it.

But I've noticed that as 568 00:25:59,546 --> 00:26:02,386 Speaker 4: the guests have gotten more and more famous, the milks 569 00:26:02,386 --> 00:26:06,146 Speaker 4: have become more and more exotic. You know, they're very 570 00:26:06,706 --> 00:26:11,066 Speaker 4: very weird sort of you know, all mind milk sort 571 00:26:11,066 --> 00:26:13,666 Speaker 4: of offshoots that I think are just like water. I'm 572 00:26:13,666 --> 00:26:15,946 Speaker 4: not sure there's the fat, there's the dairy in there 573 00:26:15,986 --> 00:26:19,386 Speaker 4: to cut those things, but that's I've noticed. But in 574 00:26:19,426 --> 00:26:22,266 Speaker 4: my opinion, it's the it's the ice cream is the 575 00:26:22,266 --> 00:26:24,386 Speaker 4: only thing that can that can really help once you're 576 00:26:24,426 --> 00:26:26,946 Speaker 4: in that storm. You know, maybe a milk is maybe 577 00:26:26,986 --> 00:26:31,226 Speaker 4: a sip of milk is temporarily relieving water I guess 578 00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:35,346 Speaker 4: makes things worse, but psychologically I find it helpful. But yeah, 579 00:26:35,386 --> 00:26:37,386 Speaker 4: the only thing that works for me is some ice cream. 580 00:26:37,626 --> 00:26:38,786 Speaker 2: Who breaks out the ice cream? 581 00:26:38,786 --> 00:26:41,026 Speaker 1: Haven't seen I don't think I've seen that the guys 582 00:26:41,026 --> 00:26:42,066 Speaker 1: break out the ice cream. 583 00:26:42,506 --> 00:26:45,186 Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's something that we've we've gone to a 584 00:26:45,226 --> 00:26:48,026 Speaker 4: little bit more recently.

It's 1167 00:52:53,946 --> 00:52:56,626 Speaker 1: not easy not knowing these people getting in a room 1168 00:52:56,666 --> 00:52:58,186 Speaker 1: and then immediately hitting it off with them and then 1169 00:52:58,226 --> 00:53:01,066 Speaker 1: being so cool and so down to earth and putting 1170 00:53:01,146 --> 00:53:01,786 Speaker 1: their guards down. 1171 00:53:01,786 --> 00:53:04,066 Speaker 2: I really enjoy watching the show.

It's the secondary part. It's 1179 00:53:18,066 --> 00:53:21,546 Speaker 3: it's the vehicle that gets you to the conversation. And 1180 00:53:22,226 --> 00:53:25,146 Speaker 3: if someone was like I have no interest in spicy food, 1181 00:53:25,186 --> 00:53:27,666 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. That's not what this show's about. That's 1182 00:53:27,706 --> 00:53:29,546 Speaker 3: just like an ornament that's around it. 1183 00:53:29,546 --> 00:53:32,026 Speaker 2: It's great.

No one wanted to talk about 1224 00:55:05,026 --> 00:55:07,826 Speaker 1: my analysis of what's next for the Jets and Zach Wilson. 1225 00:55:08,466 --> 00:55:08,986 Speaker 2: I got like. 1226 00:55:08,986 --> 00:55:13,586 Speaker 1: Fifty texts of people responding to the travel horror story 1227 00:55:13,626 --> 00:55:17,826 Speaker 1: I had going to LA last weekend. And one of 1228 00:55:17,826 --> 00:55:20,746 Speaker 1: those texts was from one of my dearest friends, a 1229 00:55:20,786 --> 00:55:24,546 Speaker 1: guy I've known for twenty years. He's my buddy, Jay, 1230 00:55:24,746 --> 00:55:28,986 Speaker 1: and he said I can top that, and then some Jay, 1231 00:55:29,266 --> 00:55:31,466 Speaker 1: Welcome to the season with Peter Schrager. 1232 00:55:31,906 --> 00:55:33,186 Speaker 2: How are you doing this morning? 1233 00:55:33,786 --> 00:55:36,026 Speaker 6: Thank you so much for having me on under these 1234 00:55:36,066 --> 00:55:41,506 Speaker 6: circumstances too, I'm doing fine. Frankly, I'm not a travel complainer. 1235 00:55:42,386 --> 00:55:44,586 Speaker 6: I put this out of my mind. This is from July, 1236 00:55:45,546 --> 00:55:48,666 Speaker 6: but I tuned in last week for the Jets Commiseration 1237 00:55:48,826 --> 00:55:52,866 Speaker 6: podcasts because I needed some uplifting at something uplifting there, 1238 00:55:53,346 --> 00:55:56,106 Speaker 6: and I was triggered by this man. I heard this, 1239 00:55:56,186 --> 00:55:58,386 Speaker 6: and I said, it brought back these memories that I 1240 00:55:58,626 --> 00:56:02,346 Speaker 6: put away. But I think I had the travel story 1241 00:56:02,386 --> 00:56:03,866 Speaker 6: to top all of them. 1242 00:56:03,866 --> 00:56:07,506 Speaker 1: And it's a two part all right, So let's first come. 1243 00:56:07,826 --> 00:56:10,266 Speaker 1: I am typically okay. I have rules. I will never 1244 00:56:10,426 --> 00:56:14,466 Speaker 1: tweet or instagram or post about my travel woes. I 1245 00:56:14,506 --> 00:56:17,746 Speaker 1: will never complain about them because I always say disclaimer, 1246 00:56:18,706 --> 00:56:22,026 Speaker 1: my flights are paid for, it's for work. 1247 00:56:22,586 --> 00:56:26,426 Speaker 2: I'm not complaining. I'm just sharing what it is. 1248 00:56:26,466 --> 00:56:28,986 Speaker 1: On the other side, it's not just all hair and 1249 00:56:29,066 --> 00:56:33,786 Speaker 1: makeup and roses. There's this stuff too, yours though, this 1250 00:56:33,866 --> 00:56:34,986 Speaker 1: is out of your own pocket. 1251 00:56:35,186 --> 00:56:36,466 Speaker 2: Why don't you take it away? Jay? 1252 00:56:37,186 --> 00:56:39,066 Speaker 6: All right, yeah, this is out of my own pocket. 1253 00:56:39,106 --> 00:56:41,226 Speaker 6: This is a family trip. 1254 00:56:41,906 --> 00:56:45,506 Speaker 2: My family already already I'm sick. 1255 00:56:45,666 --> 00:56:47,426 Speaker 6: I have a family of five. I have a nine 1256 00:56:47,506 --> 00:56:49,626 Speaker 6: year old, a seven year old, and a one year old. Right, 1257 00:56:50,226 --> 00:56:53,066 Speaker 6: and so we decide we're going to go this summer 1258 00:56:53,146 --> 00:56:55,386 Speaker 6: to France, and we're going to meet up with my 1259 00:56:55,506 --> 00:56:58,026 Speaker 6: brother's family who lives in Florida, a family of five, 1260 00:56:58,226 --> 00:57:03,546 Speaker 6: my parents, my sister. There's thirteen people. So so just 1261 00:57:03,586 --> 00:57:05,546 Speaker 6: to just take a step back, am I allowed to 1262 00:57:05,586 --> 00:57:06,626 Speaker 6: say the name of the one? 1263 00:57:08,106 --> 00:57:08,946 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah you can. 1264 00:57:09,746 --> 00:57:12,826 Speaker 6: Well, they don't deserve my discretion anyway. This is United Airlines, 1265 00:57:13,546 --> 00:57:21,426 Speaker 6: So so those of us who live in Brooklyn, like 1266 00:57:21,466 --> 00:57:23,866 Speaker 6: we do, we booked a flight on United. The rest 1267 00:57:23,906 --> 00:57:27,906 Speaker 6: of them booked a flight on Delta JFK. So it 1268 00:57:27,986 --> 00:57:28,866 Speaker 6: was just my own way. 1269 00:57:28,946 --> 00:57:31,186 Speaker 1: You go to Newark, you think it's quicker New Work 1270 00:57:31,186 --> 00:57:32,066 Speaker 1: because of the Arizona. 1271 00:57:32,146 --> 00:57:34,026 Speaker 6: That's what you thought it was quicker in New Wark. 1272 00:57:34,386 --> 00:57:36,986 Speaker 6: I had some United points. I figured let's just bundle 1273 00:57:37,026 --> 00:57:37,586 Speaker 6: this up right. 1274 00:57:37,546 --> 00:57:40,346 Speaker 1: Okay, every detail matters when we're doing this, by the way, 1275 00:57:40,386 --> 00:57:43,426 Speaker 1: so don't ever feel shy of sharing every detail. Brooklyn's 1276 00:57:43,426 --> 00:57:46,746 Speaker 1: on the southern tip of Brooklyn, so it's closer geographically, 1277 00:57:46,786 --> 00:57:48,506 Speaker 1: you're avoiding the traffic to JFK. 1278 00:57:48,786 --> 00:57:52,106 Speaker 6: It's about the same on a Tuesday when school ends. 1279 00:57:52,146 --> 00:57:54,906 Speaker 6: This was the easiest way to do it. So it's 1280 00:57:54,906 --> 00:57:57,146 Speaker 6: my family of fount and my sister. Right, So we 1281 00:57:57,226 --> 00:57:59,386 Speaker 6: have these flights in United and we're going out on 1282 00:57:59,386 --> 00:58:02,666 Speaker 6: a Tuesday, and this is the flight there.

Is going to be a little 1285 00:58:06,426 --> 00:58:10,586 Speaker 6: wonder full French vacation together. And so wake up in 1286 00:58:10,626 --> 00:58:13,466 Speaker 6: the morning seven to thirty am. We get that dreaded 1287 00:58:13,746 --> 00:58:17,506 Speaker 6: text from United.

We're canceled. The reason 1290 00:58:24,386 --> 00:58:27,426 Speaker 6: was the pilots have to sleep some you've heard that one, 1291 00:58:27,506 --> 00:58:28,226 Speaker 6: right nine. 1292 00:58:28,826 --> 00:58:30,826 Speaker 2: I learned about it the nine hours new to me. 1293 00:58:30,866 --> 00:58:32,666 Speaker 2: I love pilots. I didn't know this really existed. 1294 00:58:32,946 --> 00:58:35,226 Speaker 6: So they direct you to the United app to find 1295 00:58:35,266 --> 00:58:38,426 Speaker 6: your replacement flight. Right, So I go on the app 1296 00:58:38,466 --> 00:58:40,186 Speaker 6: with my wife. We're trying to figure it out. The 1297 00:58:40,266 --> 00:58:43,506 Speaker 6: flight they offer is on Saturday evening in. 1298 00:58:43,626 --> 00:58:49,706 Speaker 4: DC Tuesday, Tuesday, Saturday. 1299 00:58:49,306 --> 00:58:52,826 Speaker 6: From so obviously we can get on the phone. We 1300 00:58:52,946 --> 00:58:54,866 Speaker 6: call them, We get on their app and chat them. 1301 00:58:55,386 --> 00:58:58,106 Speaker 6: There was just the same music. We look over and 1302 00:58:58,146 --> 00:59:02,506 Speaker 6: over again. We have four phones going. Six hours later, 1303 00:59:02,826 --> 00:59:07,346 Speaker 6: we get through and we respond to simply because I 1304 00:59:07,386 --> 00:59:09,666 Speaker 6: figured that United they have the Star alliance with other 1305 00:59:09,666 --> 00:59:13,186 Speaker 6: airlines that might have options. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, whatever 1306 00:59:13,186 --> 00:59:16,826 Speaker 6: it is, we'll get there. And they basically reiterate, you 1307 00:59:16,866 --> 00:59:19,306 Speaker 6: had an offer for a flight on Saturday that offers 1308 00:59:19,386 --> 00:59:22,946 Speaker 6: we don't have that flight anymore either. We're talking, we're 1309 00:59:22,986 --> 00:59:27,226 Speaker 6: talking a week at So we got no satisfactory at 1310 00:59:27,386 --> 00:59:30,746 Speaker 6: nothing like nothing, no solution at all. And so we 1311 00:59:30,826 --> 00:59:32,586 Speaker 6: hang on the phone. It's like two three o'clock in 1312 00:59:32,586 --> 00:59:34,426 Speaker 6: the afternoon. Our flight was supposed to be six. My 1313 00:59:35,186 --> 00:59:37,586 Speaker 6: brother's family is already at the airport, and I say, 1314 00:59:37,626 --> 00:59:40,986 Speaker 6: what do I do here? So I start expedio whatever. 1315 00:59:41,026 --> 00:59:44,586 Speaker 6: I'm looking to see other airlines that might fly and. 1316 00:59:44,546 --> 00:59:47,026 Speaker 2: So and you would buy it just I mean, and 1317 00:59:47,066 --> 00:59:48,586 Speaker 2: you would say, I'll just buy a fresh flight. 1318 00:59:48,666 --> 00:59:49,226 Speaker 6: What's my option? 1319 00:59:49,266 --> 00:59:49,786 Speaker 4: At this point? 1320 00:59:50,026 --> 00:59:50,226 Speaker 1: I know? 1321 00:59:51,506 --> 00:59:54,546 Speaker 6: So No, this is this is like late June, early July. 1322 00:59:54,626 --> 00:59:58,546 Speaker 6: There is nothing available. The same day I find one airline, well, 1323 00:59:58,546 --> 01:00:00,826 Speaker 6: I said, my sister found one airline that had a 1324 01:00:00,826 --> 01:00:03,866 Speaker 6: couple of tickets left called Norse Airlines. You ever hear 1325 01:00:03,906 --> 01:00:04,546 Speaker 6: of that this airline? 1326 01:00:04,666 --> 01:00:07,146 Speaker 2: Never heard of this? No spell it r. 1327 01:00:07,466 --> 01:00:11,386 Speaker 6: Se Norse and they have a couple of seats in 1328 01:00:11,426 --> 01:00:13,946 Speaker 6: their premium section, which is only like a step above 1329 01:00:14,426 --> 01:00:17,626 Speaker 6: with their regular And so we look at twelve o'clock 1330 01:00:17,666 --> 01:00:20,706 Speaker 6: the same night, in midnight with three kids. Let's do it. 1331 01:00:20,986 --> 01:00:21,506 Speaker 6: Let's do it. 1332 01:00:21,626 --> 01:00:23,786 Speaker 2: Unknown never saying do you google the airlines? 1333 01:00:23,826 --> 01:00:26,986 Speaker 6: Even that afterroid bought Now this is seven thousand dollars 1334 01:00:27,066 --> 01:00:30,506 Speaker 6: later for the for the one way, we bought a 1335 01:00:30,546 --> 01:00:32,746 Speaker 6: ticket seven thousand dollars. 1336 01:00:34,106 --> 01:00:34,546 Speaker 4: Swipe that. 1337 01:00:36,386 --> 01:00:39,066 Speaker 6: So I started googling and the reviews and nourse. It 1338 01:00:39,146 --> 01:00:42,546 Speaker 6: seems like it's the new nor Region airlines. It seems 1339 01:00:42,626 --> 01:00:47,666 Speaker 6: like the super international airlines. Right. They do not terminal, 1340 01:00:47,866 --> 01:00:51,186 Speaker 6: they don't have flight numbers, they don't have electronic tickets, 1341 01:00:51,826 --> 01:00:54,506 Speaker 6: they have no information other than the review saying they 1342 01:00:54,586 --> 01:00:55,546 Speaker 6: actually are on. 1343 01:00:55,546 --> 01:00:56,666 Speaker 5: Time a lot. 1344 01:00:57,106 --> 01:01:00,186 Speaker 6: So okay, we head the JFK. It's not even it's 1345 01:01:00,186 --> 01:01:01,786 Speaker 6: not even part of the real terminal. I think we 1346 01:01:01,826 --> 01:01:03,626 Speaker 6: may have went to city field. I don't even know 1347 01:01:03,666 --> 01:01:08,186 Speaker 6: where we were. But anyway, they're way are checked. They're 1348 01:01:08,186 --> 01:01:11,786 Speaker 6: weighing our carry on that there's no electronic pics. We're 1349 01:01:11,786 --> 01:01:14,866 Speaker 6: waiting online, there's no global entry or nothing. 1350 01:01:14,866 --> 01:01:17,106 Speaker 2: Why are they wearing you? They're weighing your carry on. 1351 01:01:17,786 --> 01:01:21,026 Speaker 6: So this is happening, and and they're already in the air. 1352 01:01:21,106 --> 01:01:23,706 Speaker 6: So I text my family. I said, look, we're getting 1353 01:01:23,706 --> 01:01:26,386 Speaker 6: on this flight. If you don't hear from us in 1354 01:01:26,426 --> 01:01:29,306 Speaker 6: the morning. In France, we're hanging out with the Titanic 1355 01:01:29,386 --> 01:01:32,866 Speaker 6: submarine crew. That's where we wound up. Start, That's where 1356 01:01:32,866 --> 01:01:36,026 Speaker 6: we wound up. So just to just to put a 1357 01:01:36,066 --> 01:01:42,426 Speaker 6: cap on this side of story, Norse was incredible, premium incredible. 1358 01:01:43,106 --> 01:01:43,426 Speaker 4: It was. 1359 01:01:43,506 --> 01:01:46,346 Speaker 6: It was great. It was like business class. You know, 1360 01:01:46,346 --> 01:01:48,106 Speaker 6: they never heard of Wi Fi or anything like that. 1361 01:01:48,146 --> 01:01:50,826 Speaker 6: But who cares. We took out all time we got there. 1362 01:01:51,146 --> 01:01:54,706 Speaker 6: So this sad story on leg one end up with 1363 01:01:54,746 --> 01:01:58,186 Speaker 6: a fairly happy ending less seven thousand dollars. But I 1364 01:01:58,266 --> 01:01:59,946 Speaker 6: have nothing bad to say about Norse. 1365 01:01:59,986 --> 01:02:00,466 Speaker 4: It was great. 1366 01:02:01,226 --> 01:02:03,226 Speaker 6: So you know, have our have our trip to France. 1367 01:02:03,266 --> 01:02:06,146 Speaker 6: We got there three hours six hours after we would 1368 01:02:06,146 --> 01:02:10,066 Speaker 6: have all good.
