WEBVTT - Destination LOVE with Peter Weber

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.800
<v Speaker 1>This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 1>with on our radio.

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Hey everyone, welcome back to the almost Famous podcast. I

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 2>am flying solo today. You'll get the pun in a second.

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.599
<v Speaker 2>So I am here with pilot Pete. So I guess

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not flying solo. You are my co captain.

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm your copilot.

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's do it, Peter, are you Are you captain yet

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>or are you co captain?

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Still? No, I'm still first officer. So I am three stripes.

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully in the near future. I'd say, like maybe the

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 3>next two to three years. I probably plan on trying

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 3>to put my upgrade in and then that's all dependent

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.200
<v Speaker 3>on it. There's open positions like in la Is where

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 3>I probably want to stay. So uh yeah, two the

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 3>three year mark is kind of what I have.

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>My site said on has all the shows that you've

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.959
<v Speaker 2>done over the past couple of years kind of put

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 2>you back in your career.

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 3>No, no, So it's what's really nice about the airline

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 3>industry is everything's predicated office seniority. So the day I

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 3>was hired, like and since I was hired May twenty fifth,

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty one, so that date will follow me my

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 3>entire career. Until I turned sixty five and I have

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 3>to retire, and then so I can. Essentially, you can

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 3>pick up a full schedule, you can pick up overtime

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 3>if it's within your far limits, or I can drop trips,

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 3>but that doesn't have any bearing on career progression. All

0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 3>that matters is your seniority number, and if it's senior

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 3>enough to take an open position, you can get it.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's great. I'm glad that you've been literally able

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>to become a reality star on so many different platforms.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Now we're going to talk about your new show, Destination

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>X in a minute. It's on NBC and it's hosted

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, which is really really cool. But

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 2>first we have we have some juicy stuff. So we

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 2>recently had Rachel Rekia, a fellow pilot, on our podcast

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and the question was, if you can go on any

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Bachelor's season that wasn't the one that you came from Clayton,

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>what would your choice be? And let's roll the audio anyway.

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll start.

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 3>I would be on Peter Webber season because he's sexy

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 3>and we're both pilots. Let's Rachel, you know it's funny.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I heard something about that. That's that's cool. Well, I

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 3>appreciate that. It's very sweet of her to say so,

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 3>because you.

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Guys have that in common and you do follow each

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>other on Instagram. Have you gotten back and forth at

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 2>all about that.

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 3>No, We've never had like a discussion like that. The

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 3>only I've only we only hung out like a handful

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 3>of times in person. I think the last time I

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>saw Rachel was I want to say it was in

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Miami for our babble. I think it was our buzzle.

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 3>I saw her out there, but uh, yeah, we gotta

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.239
<v Speaker 3>we gotta connect out in LA. I think she's still

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 3>flying her. She kind of like.

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 2>Put that, I think she still flies.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.640
<v Speaker 3>She is okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 2>So when you guys have I've seen each other in

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 2>real life, like, has she called you sexy?

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 3>No? To be honest, no, all that stayed very very platonic.

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 3>I think it's. Yeah, that's not to start any rumor.

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 3>That's all been very very platonic. But I do appreciate that.

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 3>It's very sweet to say.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I do feel like you could be asked by ABC

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>The Bachelor again to be Bachelor, because you know, in

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.839
<v Speaker 2>recent history, I think that you and Joey have been

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 2>the ones that have garnered the most attention. And Joey

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>seems I think he's going to make it down the

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 2>aisle with Kelsey and you are still single. So what

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>would you think if they were to come to you

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>again this is like five years removed.

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, of course would come out here. I actually am

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 3>not single anymore, so.

0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 2>We're bringing Yes, this.

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Is uh, I guess kind of yeah, this is very

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 3>very very new, like blessing right now. You know, I

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 3>love it. Yeah, I mean to be very honest and like,

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm really blessing right now. Oh my god. Yeah, it's

0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 3>very very new, very very fresh. Obviously gonna you know,

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 3>want to keep it very private, and you know, kind

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 3>of figured we probably get into a little bit of that,

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 3>but put any like, yeah, rumors, I guess aside for

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 3>any any bachelor type comeback. Hopefully there is never the

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 3>need for that, because I'm very excited and I am

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 3>very hopeful. So, oh my god, we will see what happens.

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>You just moved back to LA. Did this girl have

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>anything to do with the move?

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 3>No? No, And it's so funny because I literally so

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 3>I was in New York for the last like four

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 3>years and I, you know, Kelly and I had gone

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 3>back on on and off a little bit during that time,

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 3>but majority of it was all single, and you know,

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 3>I always wanted a relationship with It's no no secret obviously,

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 3>but you know it's never going to be someone of

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 3>course anything. But all my friends, they were so funny.

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 3>It was they were like all predicting when I was

0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 3>going to come back to La, Like, dude, the second

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 3>you get back, you're it is kind of like we

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 3>just know you're going to find someone, You're gonna settle

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 3>down and it's just all gonna work. And I was like,

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 3>I would love that, that would be great, and they

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.159
<v Speaker 3>were spot on. They were spot only literally the first day.

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 3>The first day, Yeah, first day's not crazy.

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I'm assuming it wasn't an apupdate then, No, No, it.

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Was in person. It was a beautiful old fashioned meet up.

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, I I really like I would I don't

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 3>want to, like just because it's like so new and

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 3>everything kind of just like keep it more private. But yeah,

0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 3>definitely really excited. And it's funny how my friends really

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 3>predicted it and they all called it and who would

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.920
<v Speaker 3>have thought. Literally the first day but kind of funny

0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 3>how life works out that way.

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Can you at least tell us where you met her, Like,

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 2>was this like a cute a meet cute at a

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>coffee shop or something?

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 3>It was not that we met. It was actually on

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 3>a on a trip on a well a trip in

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 3>l a kind of thing.

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, all right, well we'll let you have your

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>privacy now a little a little bit. And maybe that

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>makes sense as to why Kelly recently said when you

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>guys saw each other at Coachella that you said that

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 2>she was like this sister that you never had.

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm I meant that in the most endearing way, like true, true,

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 3>and sure, I mean, what are you gonna do now?

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>I can't take it back, But truly it was, and

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 3>she knows that, like I've seen her since and everything

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 3>like it. It was the most endearing I was trying

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 3>to make as a compliment. It was, you know, obviously

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 3>have so much respect for her and obviously love for

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 3>her that you know will never go away like that,

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, we just you know, I try. It wasn't

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 3>for a shortage of try and write. And you know,

0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 3>sometimes people work relationship, why sometimes they don't. Sometimes it's

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 3>just friends. And I guess if you want to look

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 3>at it a weird way, you can misconstrue it. But

0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 3>it was not anything like that. I was just trying

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 3>to it was trying to be in here in comment.

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 2>And I say this thinking that you and Kelly that

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>truly have a friendship beneath all the romance. Like I

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 2>think that you really have that foundation. So you said

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>that you've seen her since and you have this girlfriend.

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Does the girlfriend at all think this friendship is weird?

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Because I personally, being part of this bachelor world, I

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 2>think that it's totally legit that you would have a

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.679
<v Speaker 2>friend in Kelly first and foremost. Does she feel weird?

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 3>No, I honestly no, just I think just a lot

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 3>of like honest communication and you know, just talks. I

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 3>think I've made it like very clear like and then

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.119
<v Speaker 3>you're right, Kelly and I do have like just a solid,

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 3>solid friendship. And again that's kind of where that comment

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 3>came from. I guess I know how it can be

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 3>like misconstruer made it look weird, but you know, I

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 3>think she she understands and like there's no worries there whatsoever.

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 3>There's no like drama or anything like that, which is

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.679
<v Speaker 3>awesome and like I really appreciate that too. So again,

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 3>we Kelly and I, like we've been broken up for

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 3>a while. You know, she she's had a very serious

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 3>relationship post me and everything, so you know, there's been

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot of time to like heal and move on,

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 3>and you know, obviously always wish the absolute best for her,

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 3>but there's like there's no drama like that and all involved,

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 3>like you know, moving forward with my current situation.

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's good. And Kelly was is currently being shipped

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 2>with Jason Tarctic. The fandom wants them to be together.

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 2>What do you think about them together? You were in

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 2>the same house as them during Coachella.

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 3>And I because that's a weird thing to talk about.

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 3>I it wouldn't be like weird for me, Like and

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 3>it may sound odd, but it really wouldn't. I both

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, to be completely crazy, like I, they're both

0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 3>very they could work, Like honestly, I could see it.

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Like they both are you know, I think similar people

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 3>in like certain regards. And again, like when I think

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 3>of both of them, I think, like the first thought

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.680
<v Speaker 3>that really come into my mind is like it's just

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 3>respect both ways and like I look up to both

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 3>of them in a lot of different aspects of life,

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, I zero hard feelings if that, if that

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.599
<v Speaker 3>ever happened, that ever came to be. You know, I

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.560
<v Speaker 3>don't really know where exactly that stands, but yeah, I

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 3>guess I'm happy that I can say that too. Like I,

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, I would want everyone to be happy, and

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 3>if if that ends up being the case, you know, great,

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 3>If not, I think they'll be great friends. But yeah, zero,

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 3>zero hard feelings on the side of it.

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 2>When they're together, do they like feel the pressure to

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 2>be flirty together because that's what people are rooting for.

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 3>I honestly, like, I don't want to speak for them,

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.199
<v Speaker 3>but I honestly think it's maybe being played up a

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 3>little bit more than it is. Like if if I

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:59.199
<v Speaker 3>had to guess, like that's my impression, so yeah, I don't.

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't like, No, I don't see them, you know,

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 3>turning it on or something or flirting with each other

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 3>feeling they need to do that. But I think it's

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 3>being played up a little bit more than it is.

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 3>If I had a guess, Yeah.

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Has your mom Barb met the new girl?

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Not yet? Not yet? Yeah, not yet. This is like so,

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.679
<v Speaker 3>like I said, like, we met like very early on,

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 3>but you know, getting together has been a much more

0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 3>recent thing.

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 2>So did she watch you on the Bouchelor?

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 3>No, okay, that's probably a good thing.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Is she tempted to watch back?

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Now it's not going to.

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 2>You're like block like eye to the Apple and well,

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>I think apples where you can always stream every season.

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where yours Elsier season might be.

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, no, I probably I think the healthiest thing

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 3>is probably not to not to do that.

0:10:50.400 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, okay, so you are on this new show

0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Destination X. I think that there. It seems obvious for

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>me to think that your wonderful game play on Traders

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 2>played a role in you being on this new show.

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I think, so, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised by that.

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 3>I you know, obviously same network with NBC and with

0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 3>with Peacock. But I mean for me, going on the

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Traders is like, you know, obviously, you know, like going

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 3>on the whole Bachelor experience and whatnot, it was such

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 3>a unique experience in its own right, but I doing

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:39.839
<v Speaker 3>the whole Traders thing really opened my eyes, like the

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 3>whole gaming world and like how much I really love

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 3>that and just it's definitely more my niche. You know,

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 3>even if I wasn't with someone I don't, I would

0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 3>never really do a love show again. Just that's not

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 3>my thing. And yeah, I think I just found my niche.

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 3>I love it. I'm extremely competitive, you know. I think,

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, some success and traders probably helped me with

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 3>this next opportunity. And this was just one like I

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 3>for sure like never could have said no to is

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 3>right up my alley. Just the whole aspect of travel

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 3>and how passionate I am about that. Yeah, it was

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of felt like I was like made for this

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 3>specific one.

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 2>If Ben were here, he would say that Wells was

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 2>too good, has too much of a mind for traders,

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.839
<v Speaker 2>and that's why he got eliminated so early. People didn't

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>want him. There you and Wells both in the same

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 2>trader's house.

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:32.680
<v Speaker 3>What happens ooh ooh, you know what, I really don't.

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.600
<v Speaker 3>I gotta like, I gotta meet Wells more. I really

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.079
<v Speaker 3>don't know Wells that well. It's interesting. I think he

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:42.320
<v Speaker 3>obviously was like the bananas of my season, and I

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 3>think coming in as like probably a threat, it obviously is.

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.319
<v Speaker 3>You know, if you follow TV and follow stuff that

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 3>well done. You can tell you's the very there's like

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 3>a very intelligent person and very sharp and that is

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 3>that can definitely be kind of maybe a turn off

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.439
<v Speaker 3>for you know, contestants in a castle, you're trying to

0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 3>compete with them like that. That seems like competition and

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 3>that seems like I think I think Kim and Bananas

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 3>definitely kind of played a similar role in that. So

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I think if I played with Wells in a future season,

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.560
<v Speaker 3>I would I don't know how I would go about that.

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 3>I think my mind's like spending like a million miles

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 3>an hour here. I don't know.

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, what about Gabby? How are you? How did you

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 2>do you know Gabby at all? Personally? Did you expect

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 2>her to do as well as she did?

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 3>No? Also, honestly, I first I knew the most was

0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Dylan that went on that season. We had kind of

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 3>he had called me up and we chatted a little

0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 3>bit before he left and tried to give him just

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 3>any advice that I could.

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 2>You did you did well?

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.960
<v Speaker 3>You did? He won? Yeah, he killed. He played an

0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 3>incredible game. Gabby though, she surprised me like no other. She.

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.959
<v Speaker 3>I think she's the perfect blend of just of smarts

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 3>but also flying under the radar, you know, has the

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 3>perfect personality for like reality TV. They can also maybe

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 3>distract the little little bit from how intelligent she really

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 3>is and what kind of a game she's really playing

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.840
<v Speaker 3>under the radar. So she's like, in my opinion, like

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 3>the perfect blend for I mean, obviously she won as well,

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 3>so I would love to play with Yeah, with all

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:13.320
<v Speaker 3>of them, it'd be sweet if like to do like,

0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 3>you know, an all star kind of season at some point. Yeah,

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.199
<v Speaker 3>cool games, it's a blast.

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 2>So you went from that show hosted by Alan coming

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Big Star to Jeffrey Dean Morgan in this show and

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 2>that's cool. So how much interaction did you have with

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:31.320
<v Speaker 2>both of them?

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 3>So Alan's funny, I've gone to aland a little bit

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 3>more post show. It was, you know, more after everything

0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 3>was already filmed. Like we did a couple of fun

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 3>So he's got this club called Club Coming in the

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 3>Lower East Side in Manhattan, and so he would host

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:47.760
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of like watch parties. So we'd go there

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 3>and it was fun to just like kind of like

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 3>have a couple of nights like just let loose and

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 3>we're not really filming anything and just have fun and show.

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 3>So I got to know him a little bit better there, Jeffrey.

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 3>It was crazy. We actually bonded and he has a

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 3>bunch of tattoos, and he has like a bunch of

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.760
<v Speaker 3>finger tattoos, and we're like on this one probably the

0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 3>coolest challenge I think I got to do on the

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 3>show on Destination X. But we're like having some downtime

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like looking at his tattoos. I'm like, all right,

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna try to like bond with him, so like, hey,

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I have a tattoo as well.

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.640
<v Speaker 2>That is the easiest way to start a conversation with

0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:24.280
<v Speaker 2>somebody who's talking about the meeting behind their tattoos.

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's so true though, And he had a bunch

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 3>of finger tattos. So I showed him mine and mine's

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 3>like the twelve for the Seahawks and he's from Seattle.

0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Didn't know it, and he's a diard Seattle Seahawks man.

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.240
<v Speaker 3>So we started like connecting over that, and then we

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 3>both got invited. This is post show. Had no idea

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 3>either one of us was going. We got invited to

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 3>the Seahawk game when the Seahawks are playing the Jets

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 3>in New York and we both show up and we're like,

0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 3>we're sitting right next to each other, like no freaking way,

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 3>like one of the odds of this. So it was

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 3>kind of like a full circle moment. He's a really,

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 3>really cool dude. He's the perfect guy, perfect host for

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:56.480
<v Speaker 3>this kind of show.

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 2>So tell us about the show. What's the premise and

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.720
<v Speaker 2>how you come into play because people are going to

0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 2>have to watch a few episodes to see you come in.

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Yes, So premise of this show is it's the ultimate

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 3>adventure game. It's ultimate. Remember like the game like back

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 3>when we were like elementary school, Like where in the

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 3>world is Carmen that computer game? Yeah, Karma Sino, that's

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 3>what I forget our last name. It's it's pretty much

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 3>like that, but you put a game board all across

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 3>Europe and everything's fair game and you get in a

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 3>bus with however many contestants are left at that point,

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 3>the bus has all fogged out windows, you can't see outside.

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 3>The only thing you can see is sun. That's the

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 3>only thing you can tell, like from the bright light,

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 3>but anything else you can't see. And the whole premise

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 3>is Jeffrey essentially takes us all around Europe and puts

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.960
<v Speaker 3>us in certain cities, you know, for every episode, and

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 3>we have to guess where we're at. And how do

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 3>you do that. It's you got a couple of challenge

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 3>options throughout that episode that week for that episode, and

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 3>if you win the challenge, you get information. And that

0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.440
<v Speaker 3>information obviously is gold, and it's up to you how

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 3>to share it, if you want to share it, but

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 3>also if you want to decipher it, because not all

0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 3>the information you're getting this accurate, and that's where the

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 3>twist comes in. So there could be red herrings out

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.480
<v Speaker 3>there that can be a complete distraction, or it could

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.119
<v Speaker 3>be legit information and so puts a lot of different

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.159
<v Speaker 3>kinks in it and twists and turns. But it's all

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:22.760
<v Speaker 3>about just creating alliances and trusting your gut, using your knowledge,

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 3>using any skills you have to give yourself the most

0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 3>educated guess of where you're at in Europe. And then

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.879
<v Speaker 3>at the end of every week, a certain amount of

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 3>people get selected to go to what's called a map room.

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 3>It's in the bus and we go to the map room.

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 3>We have to put our X down wherever we think

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.439
<v Speaker 3>we are, and the person that's furthest away from that

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 3>from the correct location gets booted for that week, and

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 3>then you go so on and so on until the finale.

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 3>So Ultimate Guessing Game. It's a little bit of Amazing Race,

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.919
<v Speaker 3>but a whole different twist huge. It's got the travel

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 3>of Amazing Race to like the social social aspect game

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:03.479
<v Speaker 3>of Traders guessing there too, and just alliances, And honestly

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.840
<v Speaker 3>it's it's I think it's first that it's kind I've

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 3>seen anything out there that's quite like this.

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Do your skills as a pilot help you out figuring

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 2>out where you are?

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 3>I had, Yeah, there was a couple instances. I honestly

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 3>thought it would have been more. But the main things

0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 3>that like I brought from the flying aspect, I used

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.879
<v Speaker 3>them like celestial navigation as much as possible throughout it.

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:29.080
<v Speaker 3>So again that's dependent on having to have a clear

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 3>night and be able to see the north star, but

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 3>and you to be outside at some point. But if

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 3>I could see that, I could measure roughly my latitude

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 3>of where I was. So going into the game, I

0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.280
<v Speaker 3>kind of had you know, some key cities marked out

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.240
<v Speaker 3>of what their latitude was and had that memorized, and

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 3>so I would use that information to compare with other

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 3>stuff that i'd gotten and other information I'd gathered from,

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:53.199
<v Speaker 3>you know, anyone that I was constantly working with to

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 3>like give myself the best guess. So it helped me

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.600
<v Speaker 3>in that aspect, and there was one time where it

0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 3>came in super clutch. I recognized a anytime we were

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.640
<v Speaker 3>new airports, obviously, I would like, you know, my alert

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 3>would go up a little bit, and I recognize the

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 3>departure corridor. We have what's called SIDS Standard Instrument Departure procedures,

0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 3>so when you take off out of like a big airport,

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.199
<v Speaker 3>every airplane follows the same course, and I recognize a

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.200
<v Speaker 3>certain departure procedure I'd done a couple of years prior,

0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 3>and that was super clutch for me because I at

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.439
<v Speaker 3>that point was very very lost and very confused, and

0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 3>so that was that was huge. So I would say

0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.680
<v Speaker 3>those are the two biggest ways that the piloting aspect

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 3>helped benefit me.

0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, that's so cool. You must have felt

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 2>very like special, and you must have felt like you

0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I would have felt like, oh, I'm cool, I'm smart.

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:46.399
<v Speaker 3>I just felt lucky. At that point, because this the

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 3>hard part about this show is like and there's a

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.200
<v Speaker 3>lot like almost every place you'll go through and you'll

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 3>think there's no way in the world like this setting

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 3>or this topography is in this country. And it is though,

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:57.919
<v Speaker 3>and they do, like the creators that they showed it

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.840
<v Speaker 3>such a good job of finding like such uniques in

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 3>each country, and like nothing's obvious, like people think this

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 3>game is this is the hardest thing I've ever done.

0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.840
<v Speaker 3>And so I was off. Believe me, I was off

0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 3>a lot too, and you know, it's very humbling to

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.040
<v Speaker 3>like realize, holy I was damned, Like this alliance just

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:20.439
<v Speaker 3>may have saved me there or whatnot. But yeah, in

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 3>that case, I was really really stoking happy that I

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 3>finally got something because I was pretty lost at that point.

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>I guess most people out there listening, we're probably like, okay,

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 2>but if you go buy a restaurant, you're going to

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 2>see a menu, You're going to see street signs with

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 2>the language. How do they hide that from you?

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.879
<v Speaker 3>You don't, So nothing's really there is a handful of

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 3>times where and you're only there after a challenge or

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.359
<v Speaker 3>an elimination kind of round has been completed. There's only

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 3>a handful of times where you're really in like an

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:52.720
<v Speaker 3>area with a lot of other people, like most of

0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:54.400
<v Speaker 3>the places. And that's what's kind of cool too about

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 3>the show, Like the shots are just going to be

0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 3>epic and so stunning because it's just some of the

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 3>most beautiful landscape that Europe has to offer. That's where

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 3>we were spending most of our time. It wasn't like

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.240
<v Speaker 3>in a specific town or a city where you would

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:08.959
<v Speaker 3>have access to license like I remember researching like all

0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:11.959
<v Speaker 3>license plates and like and flags, brushing up on that,

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 3>but that would have been too easy, right, So they

0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:17.679
<v Speaker 3>you're always more it's more secluded, except for like a

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 3>handful of times where and you'll see how that makes

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 3>sense in the game.

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:25.959
<v Speaker 2>What's bus life like with these guys.

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Very difficult, a lot different than like a trader's aspect,

0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 3>just because you have zero privacy. You're close quarters with

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 3>each other all the time, you know you have you're

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:39.440
<v Speaker 3>sleeping on the bus daytime on everything's on the bus.

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.600
<v Speaker 3>You're traveling hours every single day to get to the

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 3>next spot, which made it difficult. Like in Traders, you

0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:46.440
<v Speaker 3>could you wanted to have a talk and you wanted

0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 3>to have a chat with you know, one person or

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 3>a crew here, and you wanted to get some privacy,

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 3>you go walk outside or you go into a room

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 3>and close the door. Here, you can't do that, like

0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 3>you literally it's a lot of whispering. What was cool though,

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:00.359
<v Speaker 3>is eventually, like as the game kind of progress, everyone

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:02.800
<v Speaker 3>kind of got a common understanding that might listen, everyone's

0:22:02.800 --> 0:22:04.680
<v Speaker 3>in this together. It sucks for everyone, like no one

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.479
<v Speaker 3>can only chat. Let's like give each other the respect

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 3>to like go and have private talks, like not trying

0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 3>to butt in or be that guy. So it made

0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 3>it a little bit easier towards the end, we kind

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 3>of all understood how to play it. But also, yeah,

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's bus life, so it's you know, crame

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 3>quarters and just a different different experience than you know,

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.639
<v Speaker 3>living in a mansion on The Bachelor or asshole in

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 3>the Traders.

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.679
<v Speaker 2>In a tam my question that everybody loves to know

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 2>about bus life, did you have to tell the driver

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:33.040
<v Speaker 2>when you had to poop?

0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 3>We had everything? Well, we were fully like stocked everything.

0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 3>We had a bathroom, showers, everything.

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.640
<v Speaker 2>You can do. Number two Yeah, okay.

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:48.159
<v Speaker 3>Good, you wouldn't you wouldn't want to, but I can

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 3>get really comfortable real quick, but you could if you

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.159
<v Speaker 3>had to, if it was an emergency.

0:22:54.760 --> 0:23:05.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:10.879
<v Speaker 2>So you and Janey are the two celebrities from this show.

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 2>She's from Love Island, USA, and you two come in

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 2>together toward you know, not in episode one. I'll just

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:21.400
<v Speaker 2>let people know that no spoilers, but not in episode one.

0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Why would they just pick two celebrities to reality stars

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 2>to join this cast of Not to be rude in

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 2>any way, but like of normies.

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:34.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I think I think you kind of

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 3>saw that that that format. So there's also Josh Josh Martinez.

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 3>He met him after the fact. He had I guess

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:44.640
<v Speaker 3>we already episode two, but he had left episode one,

0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:46.840
<v Speaker 3>so we actually didn't get to see him. He was

0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 3>I think he was big Brother and the Challenge, and

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:52.639
<v Speaker 3>so there was three of us, and I don't know,

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.360
<v Speaker 3>I think you kind of saw that format and Traders

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 3>season one you kind of had like a split thing.

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's right, just yeah, it's it's a different take.

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:03.879
<v Speaker 3>It's it's a different format. You know. Maybe there's just

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 3>who knows, like storylines that we had from that or

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 3>assumptions to be made from players because of you know,

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 3>people's past, you know experiences. Who knows, but I think, yeah,

0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:19.199
<v Speaker 3>it went, it went great. It was there was like

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 3>really no issue with that one.

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, we are so excited to watch this show.

0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:25.560
<v Speaker 2>This is awesome. Thank you for explaining concept like that.

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It's really really fun. Yeah, speaking of travel, are our

0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:36.199
<v Speaker 2>producer who is so scared of flying? The woman hasn't

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 2>flew flown since nineteen ninety nine. No, yes, she couldn't

0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:43.879
<v Speaker 2>go to Ben's wedding. She couldn't get to my wedding.

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 2>We've known it for almost a decade. HALLOAI News Sugarvin. Yeah,

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know she's not alone out there. Lots

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:52.679
<v Speaker 2>of people won't fly, but like she won't even be

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 2>medicated to fly. It's sad. It's sad she's missing out

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 2>on some of life. And now she's particularly well, she's

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:03.199
<v Speaker 2>feeling findicated after like so many like close calls and

0:25:03.280 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 2>of course that awful crash and the Potomac a few

0:25:06.280 --> 0:25:11.199
<v Speaker 2>months ago. What's going on with air travel? Do you

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:13.200
<v Speaker 2>think that there's anything different? You think we're just hearing

0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 2>about it more?

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Listen, air travel is you guys? I'm not going to,

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:19.919
<v Speaker 3>you know, say anything you haven't heard before. Air travel

0:25:20.000 --> 0:25:23.440
<v Speaker 3>is the safest form of transportation out there by far.

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't even compare when you compare it to cars, trains,

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 3>more just whatever it is. There's nothing safer than air travel.

0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 3>You obviously, it's some really really sad and devastating you know,

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:40.760
<v Speaker 3>news from some of those you know, unfortunate accidents that occurred.

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, I can't speak too much on on all that,

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm not in like the we call it

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:50.359
<v Speaker 3>NTSB National Transportation Security Board. They're the ones that like

0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:52.679
<v Speaker 3>have the full investigation on that and they know everything.

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 3>But it's it's tough. If there's anything I can say, listen,

0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 3>it's that, you know, it's unfortunate with every accident though

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.399
<v Speaker 3>in this anything in life, any type of transportation, it

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 3>makes it safer moving forward. It's obviously horrible that ever

0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:07.640
<v Speaker 3>happened in the first place, but we always there's something

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.720
<v Speaker 3>to learn, and I can honestly tell you, like I

0:26:11.040 --> 0:26:13.360
<v Speaker 3>I have zero fear of flying, you know if I

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 3>fly obviously all the time for work, for you know,

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:19.119
<v Speaker 3>pleasure to get you know, to get places too. Like

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:22.480
<v Speaker 3>it's there's no reason to be scared. It's not like

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 3>there's this you know, crash down of ATC now all

0:26:26.119 --> 0:26:28.680
<v Speaker 3>of a sudden isn't working or airplanes aren't working anymore.

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:31.879
<v Speaker 3>It's nothing like that. It truly isn't. And I know

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:34.719
<v Speaker 3>it's just unfortunate, really unfortunate timing with stuff that's happened.

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.720
<v Speaker 3>But I really hope that people, you know, trust in,

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:39.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, in the training we all do you know,

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:43.880
<v Speaker 3>whether it's ADC, pilots, fly attendants, everyone, mechanics, everyone that's involved.

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:48.360
<v Speaker 3>It's such rigorous testing and consistent training on an annual basis.

0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:50.960
<v Speaker 3>There's I you know, I know people are gonna be terrified,

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 3>and I get that, like someone like Amy, and it's

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:55.920
<v Speaker 3>it's a fear, and you know they're they have every

0:26:55.960 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 3>right to have that fear. But I promise you flying

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 3>it extremely safe. And I would not just be saying

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:05.120
<v Speaker 3>that if I had any doubt in my mind that

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 3>wasn't the case. And it still is by far the

0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 3>safest form of transportation that you can ever do.

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Reagan is my hometown airport, being from Northern Virginia. I

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:20.400
<v Speaker 2>always have heard I've always heard that it's one of

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.800
<v Speaker 2>the airports that pilot's most dread flying in and out

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 2>of because of like the no fly zone and for

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 2>some reason I remember, like the Washington Monument or something

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 2>like that. Do you have you flown in and out

0:27:33.560 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 2>and like, do you find it to be an annoying airport?

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 3>I know, I wouldn't. I wouldn't use those words for it.

0:27:38.880 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 3>It's just definitely a complex airport because you had a

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.840
<v Speaker 3>lot of really restrictive prohibited airspace, so you can't fly

0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 3>over with obviously the White House, a lot of the

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:49.280
<v Speaker 3>monuments there, so you have a specific departure again, kind

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 3>of get into what I was talking about with you know,

0:27:51.080 --> 0:27:54.920
<v Speaker 3>sid's standard instrument departure procedures. It's very strict procedures flying

0:27:54.960 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 3>out of there, and when you have to make specific

0:27:56.760 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 3>turns to not overfly you know, a certain sensitive areas.

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:04.040
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, I enjoy that. I enjoy, you know,

0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of being in it, and I don't like, I don't.

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:08.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't really think a pilot would say like they

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:11.920
<v Speaker 3>shy away from that. I think, you know, if pilot's

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 3>talking about shining away from something, it's probably not shying away.

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:18.600
<v Speaker 3>That's not the right word, but kind of like being

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:21.960
<v Speaker 3>whatever it is yeah, is more like airports with like

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 3>just a lot of delays and like going in and

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 3>where you know it's going to be, you know, just

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:27.520
<v Speaker 3>because there's so much congestion on the field. But as

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 3>pilots were never you know, the skill level that we

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.399
<v Speaker 3>keep in like the proficiency that we keep at all times,

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:37.280
<v Speaker 3>there's never a case where we're going into worried or

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 3>nervous of are we going to be able to handle this.

0:28:39.000 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 3>We're always always qualified and ready to handle whatever situation

0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 3>is going to we're going to encounter. So yeah, with Reagan, again,

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 3>yes there are complex procedures there, but we're trained to

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 3>do all that and we wouldn't be flying into that

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 3>airport still if that wasn't the case. So hopefully this

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 3>can kind of like you know, ease some fears with

0:28:56.840 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 3>with people flying. But I get it it's a sensitive

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:01.240
<v Speaker 3>topic right now, especially with stuff that's been on the news.

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for that, Peter. It's it's nice to have a

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.800
<v Speaker 2>pilot so that they like that challenge rather than a

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 2>dread it. They dread delays though and crowded airports, which

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.440
<v Speaker 2>ones top of mind for you.

0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Let's see here, probably my favorite airport to fly into well,

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:22.320
<v Speaker 3>it's always been in San Diego. I love flying in

0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 3>San Diego, love flying into LaGuardia. I don't get to

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 3>do those too often now because I'm mainly all international.

0:29:27.560 --> 0:29:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Atlanta has a lot of delays. That's just you know,

0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 3>a nature of the beast. That's, you know, I think

0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 3>the biggest airport in the in the country. I'll probably say,

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:38.800
<v Speaker 3>I guess maybe Atlanta, but I don't really fly that

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:40.600
<v Speaker 3>much anymore. I'm not domestic.

0:29:41.160 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, you're not. You were Delta one point.

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I was. Yeah, I flew three years for Delta and

0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 3>then not through at United.

0:29:48.920 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Great and United is what your dad has retired from, right.

0:29:53.200 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, you're retired three years ago, almost three years

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 3>ago at the day I got That's what I got

0:29:58.080 --> 0:29:58.960
<v Speaker 3>to do is retirement flight.

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, three years ago. Wow, I was flying

0:30:02.840 --> 0:30:04.240
<v Speaker 2>and that's not even my life.

0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Much some three years ago now and since then, Jack,

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 3>my little brother, he now flies for us too. We've

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:12.360
<v Speaker 3>actually been able to do a trip. We actually flew

0:30:12.400 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 3>to Shanghai together. So that was a cool bucket list moment.

0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 2>No way, that's so cool. I love how close your

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 2>family is and you just became an uncle because he

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 2>had a baby girl, Willow.

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 3>Yep, little Willow funkl I got funkle duties going on.

0:30:29.200 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 3>So he is absolutely precious and has definitely definitely done

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.520
<v Speaker 3>something to me. You know, you hear people say it

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.360
<v Speaker 3>to you like, oh, you're gonna love being an uncle

0:30:38.400 --> 0:30:42.000
<v Speaker 3>or an aunt, and it's definitely it's cool, you know,

0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 3>obviously my little brother, but I look up to him

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:47.239
<v Speaker 3>in so many ways and just seeing the father that

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:49.520
<v Speaker 3>he's become to Willow and like the love that he

0:30:49.600 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 3>has for her, it's just such a beautiful like I'm

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:55.800
<v Speaker 3>so proud of him, and I like, I just want

0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:57.959
<v Speaker 3>to be you know. I know he has an amazing

0:30:58.000 --> 0:31:00.560
<v Speaker 3>model like in our dad and you know, our parents,

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Mom and dad. But I can't wait too uh, I

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:05.240
<v Speaker 3>can't wait for that day and hopefully it's not not

0:31:05.360 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 3>too far, you know, around the corner. So, but he's

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 3>definitely inspireming.

0:31:09.760 --> 0:31:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah. My sister is just obsessed with our boys.

0:31:13.720 --> 0:31:19.240
<v Speaker 2>She's our third parent basically, and I'm always wondering because

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:23.440
<v Speaker 2>she has she's so close to them and she talks

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:27.120
<v Speaker 2>to them every single day when she has kids, Like,

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 2>is it going to be different for me? Because I

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:30.640
<v Speaker 2>was the parent first, and then the aunt.

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:31.959
<v Speaker 3>Is she older or younger?

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 2>She's two and a half years younger. So staying again, right, yeah.

0:31:36.120 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Well so you're you're I'm the older one. My little

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 3>brother has the older one.

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, but I had the kids first, Yes,

0:31:44.760 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I just yeah, I don't know. I'm like, I'm going

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.480
<v Speaker 2>to feel the same way about your kids as you

0:31:50.400 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 2>have had the opportunity to feel about mine because you

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't have kids, you know, I guess.

0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's an interesting take. I mean, I would probably

0:31:57.520 --> 0:31:59.040
<v Speaker 3>assume it might be a little bit different just because

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 3>it's your first time being around them. But yeah, now

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:06.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm obsessed with Willow. She is absolutely adorable and uh

0:32:07.320 --> 0:32:09.239
<v Speaker 3>yeah excited. That was a huge reason too to come

0:32:09.240 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 3>back to LA which has been great, just to be close.

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 3>And I knew that, you know, they were pregnant, so

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 3>they were having Willow on the way and timing just

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 3>kind of worked out. So it's been great.

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 2>So you are a West Coast boy through and there.

0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, don't get me wrong, I love New York City.

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 3>I have been able to go back a couple of

0:32:26.800 --> 0:32:29.720
<v Speaker 3>times since, and of course now it's you know, the

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.560
<v Speaker 3>best time of the year. Out there and I'll love

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:36.240
<v Speaker 3>forever have a love in my heart there. But yeah,

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:37.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I grew up in LA I grew up

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 3>at her West Coast, so it's good to be back.

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm in like a different area now, so it's cool.

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like it's something new still and getting my bearings straight.

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, being close to the family has definitely been nice.

0:32:49.720 --> 0:32:54.320
