1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, welcome to Tommy Talk, a new weekly series

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: that is part of my I've Never Said This Before podcast,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: where I am talking about things that I've never really

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: publicly talked about before. I have a lot of great

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: guests on and we hear from them and learn so

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: much about them. I thought it was time I showed

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more about me and some of my

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: views and opinions.

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: And we're going to rock and roll.

10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So today's topic, what working on a red carpet

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: really is? Like, I see this question pop up quite

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: a lot, and I think that it looks probably more

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: glamorous than it is. And with that, I'm going to

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: say I love it. Like, for me, working in a

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: red carpet is some of the most exciting work in

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: the world because you are live in the action.

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: There's so much going on.

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: I am such a geek for TV and film and

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: well all art, theater, all of it that just being

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: in that environment for me is so exciting.

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 2: But a lot goes into it. So here we go.

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: So let's say I'm assigned a red carpet. With the

23
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: red carpet, you're obviously talking to the cast of the movie.

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 1: Let's say, but then other people show up who want

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: to support the movie. Right, So I start by doing

26
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: extensive research on every single person I am about to

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: talk to. You sometimes get to see the movie, sometimes

28
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: you don't, depends on how secretive the studio is being.

29
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: I prefer to see it so I have a little

30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: bit more context on what it is I am talking about,

31
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: but it doesn't always work out. I would say it's

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: like fifty to fifty if you get to see it beforehand.

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: So that means you have to really dive into the

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: project and read as much about it as you possibly can.

35
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: So I am on my laptop googling everything I can

36
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: about the movie, looking up production notes, and then not

37
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: only that, and then looking up notes on every single

38
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: actor I am about to talk to, not only related

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: to the projects. So I'm googling interviews they've done. I'm

40
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: looking at magazines that they just were in and reading everything.

41
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: But then I'm going on their social media.

42
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to, you know, other articles that were published

43
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: in the last year, just to see what kinds of

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: things I want to talk about with them. Because you

45
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: have a job to do, you have to go and

46
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: get really interesting, fun soundbites from this interview that makes

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: your bosses happy but also makes you feel like you

48
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: do a great interview.

49
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: Right.

50
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: So the research alone, it's days and days and days

51
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: of prep. You don't just show up and say I'm here,

52
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: let's talk, or you know, somebody writes your questions, it's

53
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: it's me. I mean, I prefer I write my own questions.

54
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Of course, I have a producer who will give me

55
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: ideas too, and we'll talk about it, and I'll happily

56
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: take some of their questions, but I like to really

57
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: craft my own interview because then I feel like I

58
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: really know what I'm talking about and I know what

59
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: I'm doing, and I think it makes for the most

60
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: interesting conversation. So research and prep that is all phase one,

61
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: which is just like I said, days and days and

62
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: days of prep. Then you write your questions, and I

63
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: don't like to read from cards when I'm on a

64
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: carpet or in a junket or anything like that. A

65
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: junket is when you go in a room and sit

66
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: down with the cast for like six minutes, and it's

67
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: more of like a one on one or one on

68
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: four kind of interview. A carpet is one on one

69
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: you get maybe two minutes with everybody. It's very quick,

70
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: and I like to have my questions in my mind.

71
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: That's also why I like to write them, because it

72
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: helps me remember them. I if you see my work,

73
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: you probably notice I don't really read off anything.

74
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: I don't like that.

75
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it forms true connection with who you're

76
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: talking to. I want the eye contact. I want them

77
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: to feel like I'm hearing them, I'm listening to them,

78
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: that they are seen, because it makes for a better conversation.

79
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: So I kind of get all of the questions in

80
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: my mind ready to go. I spend some time, you know,

81
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: kind of drilling them into my mind. I actually tend

82
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: to walk around my home or walk outside, doing my

83
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: steps and looking at my scripts so that I can

84
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: get them into my body. It's kind of when I

85
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: was an actor what I used to do, so it's

86
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: one of my tricks. I really really go over them

87
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: repeatedly as I do steps around my home.

88
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: Which always helps me.

89
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: And then you show up to the carpet and it

90
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: is like a zoo.

91
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: I think people often.

92
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: Assume you show up and it's all glamorous and calm,

93
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: and it's not like, let me tell you it's not.

94
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: I just cover the Jurassic World birth premiere. And here's

95
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: a perfect example. It was in Lincoln Center. They took

96
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: over the entire plaza. It happened to be a major

97
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: heat wave in New York City. It was I think

98
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: in ninety nine degrees real feel one oh three. The

99
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: carpet was outside, there was no shade, The sun was

100
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: beating down on us, there were no fans.

101
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: We were all sweating and drenched.

102
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: It was so unbelievably hot, the kind of heat that

103
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: where you walk outside you feel like you can't breathe.

104
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: That's how hot it was.

105
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: So you have to show up for the carpet about

106
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: an hour prior to a beginning. You show up, you

107
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: check in, you get situated on your spot on the carpet,

108
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: and then you wait and there's a waiting game. So

109
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: I tend to kind of go over my notes, make

110
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: sure the camera shot looks good. But again, that's an

111
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: hour in the blazing heat. So it's it's quite hot,

112
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: and you're in this line of people who you're kind

113
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: of like shoulder to shoulder with and it's a mosh

114
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: pit of people everywhere between the camera crews, the photographers,

115
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: the other reporters, producers. It's just like a line of

116
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: people all squeeze together, and these actors make their way

117
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: down the carpet, going from person to person a person,

118
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: so you're kind of like elbow to elbow. You don't

119
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: have much room. It's usually pretty pretty hot, especially if

120
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: you're outside on a day like that, and then the

121
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: carpet opens, So when you do a red carpet, you're

122
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 1: not always guaranteed talking to everybody. You're just not because

123
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of external factors. So sometimes the actors

124
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: arrive super late and they only have time to talk

125
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: to two maybe three outlets the most. Sometimes there's just

126
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: too much press on the carpet for them to get

127
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: to everybody. Sometimes they have to go and do things

128
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: the studio wants, like cast photos, which takes maybe ten

129
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: minutes out of the time that they should be talking

130
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: to people on the carpet.

131
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: So you can't control who you're going to get.

132
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: You hope that you're going to get everybody, and you

133
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: certainly have a job that you want to try to

134
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: get everybody, but you can't really control it. And this

135
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: is why relationships matter. So because I've been doing this

136
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: for a minute. I know a lot of publicists and managers,

137
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: so when I see them and they see me and

138
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: we say hello, they'll tend to bring someone over, even

139
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: if they don't have time, because that's just what happens

140
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: when you have a friendship with somebody. So anyway, the

141
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: carpet opens, the stars start coming out, and you start

142
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: doing your interviews and you have maybe two minutes with everybody.

143
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: I mean they're quick, they're quick. Bites are not long form.

144
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: And because there's so much going on and these stars

145
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: have to get places, their managers start tapping you.

146
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: If you ever watch my interviews or any interview.

147
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: You'll start seeing publicists tapping the reporter on the back,

148
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: and that's them telling you to wrap it up. They

149
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: have to go to somebody next. So it's not fun,

150
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: by the way, to have somebody tapping on your back

151
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: when you're trying to conduct an interview and be attentively listening,

152
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: like to just have someone hitting you. Not the greatest,

153
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: but that's the system that seems to be in place.

154
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: So you know, they wrap you up pretty quickly and

155
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: then it's on to the next And here's the other thing.

156
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have the big yets that you need to

157
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: talk to, and you don't have time to talk to everybody,

158
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of the managers want you to talk

159
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: to everybody, so you have to pay lightly say oh

160
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: my gosh, I would love to but I can't right now.

161
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for so and so, or can you come back,

162
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: or you know, I'm so sorry, We're just we don't

163
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: have time to talk to this person. So there's a

164
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: lot of navigating that as well. Not only are you

165
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: responsible for getting who you're talking to, you have to

166
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: kind of navigate who you want, who you're saying yes to,

167
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: who you're saying no to, And a producer helps with that,

168
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: but because you're out on the carpet and the producer's

169
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: usually behind the stand, you're the one that tends to

170
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: say that. So you're navigating that on the carpet and

171
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: making sure no one's upset and being you know, proper

172
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: and pc and polite and all of that.

173
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: So it's it's truly just.

174
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: A lot at once, and what usually happens is all

175
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: the big kind of headlining stars of the movie come

176
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: at one time, so it's like you'll have a lull

177
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: in the beginning and then it's one interview after the

178
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: next interview, off the next interview, and it's back to

179
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: back to back to back, and you have to know

180
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: everything you want to say to each person. That's where

181
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: the prep work comes in. You don't I don't read cards.

182
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't have time to sit. They're reading cards or

183
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: switching to the right card when somebody comes, like, I

184
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: want to be ready to go. Scarlett Johansson's up, Jonathan

185
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: Bailey's up, Hershall is up, like I want to know

186
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm saying in my mind to everybody, because

187
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: it's fast, it's quick, and that makes her a better moment.

188
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Now here's when another story that's interesting. When I say

189
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: relationships matter, Jonathan Bailey came a bit later to the premiere,

190
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: to the carpet, I should say, And when he showed up,

191
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: I thought, oh man, I don't know if I'll get

192
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to him, because he's probably only

193
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: got time to talk to a few people, and I'm

194
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: not the first four I'm not at the top of

195
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: this carpet, so I didn't know. And him and I

196
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 1: have a i'll say, like a loose friendship, like we

197
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: did a big talk together at the ninety second street

198
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: Y and it was amazing it was with him in

199
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: that pomer And we've kind of kept and touched a

200
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 1: couple times a year after that, so you know, we're

201
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,239
Speaker 1: not super close, but we have like an industry relationship,

202
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: I'll say. And he saw me down with the carpet,

203
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: and I saw him and we gave a big wave.

204
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: And I haven't seen him since doing that event almost

205
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: a year ago, and I saw that time was running

206
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: out and he was talking to an outlet and I

207
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: think he only got two outlets in and then to

208
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: go actually make it to the premiere, which began at

209
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: seven pm. And I thought, oh man, I'm not going

210
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: to get him. This was a really important get for

211
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: my bosses. And all of a sudden, him and his

212
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: manager start like blining right towards me, cuts everybody else

213
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: off the carpet and comes right towards me, and his

214
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: manager says, his publicist says, you.

215
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: Have two minutes.

216
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: We have to go, and he gave me a big hug,

217
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: and I said, oh my god, this is so sweet.

218
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: So like they came over after not talking in a

219
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: pretty much ninety percent.

220
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: Of the carpet.

221
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: Because we do have that sort of loose light friendship

222
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: and wanted to make sure he saw me that I

223
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: felt seen. And we did an interview together and it

224
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: was the nicest thing he did because it was a

225
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: big interview to get and that's why I say relationships matter.

226
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: And we had a great conversation and gave each other

227
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: a big hug, and he left and went to the

228
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: premiere that started. So it's important in this business to

229
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: foster real relationships, right, not fake ones, not Hollywood ones.

230
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: Like I genuinely am interested in whoever it is I'm

231
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: talking to or reaching out to, and I want to

232
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: form those connections and that's an example of why they matter.

233
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: And that was such a nice thing to do.

234
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: He is such a good guy, and I sent a

235
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: little note thanking him because that was just really classy

236
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: of him.

237
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: So all of that to say is these carpets are crazy.

238
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: And after I'm done with one, I get home and

239
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: I need to be in silence for like an hour

240
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: and a half because my brain is catching up to

241
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: what just happened, and I'm like, I just need a

242
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: minute of quiet. So I usually eat some food, like decompress,

243
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: and going to bed is the hardest thing. The n

244
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: I have a carpet because there's so much excitement, and

245
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: then usually the next day you have to track your

246
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: piece and then the piece errs. But it's a wild, wild,

247
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: wild kind of I guess type of job. It's just wild.

248
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: It's I love.

249
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: It, it's fun, it's exhilarating.

250
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: But a lot of people ask me, oh my god,

251
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: it's so glamorous what you do, and you feel like

252
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: you just got thrown into a boxing ring with forty

253
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: five people after you do a carpet.

254
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: It's just a lot. So that's the truth behind my.

255
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: Carpet, and I hope to continue giving you some more

256
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: insights into this wild line of work that I do.
