That was a pretty good show though, that's pretty good
the No No. Like for example, I know I've heard
of Property Brothers. Yeah, I don't watch it. I've never
seen an episode of it. House Hunters mm, never never
seen an episode of it. Love it or list It? Yeah,

never seen one of theirs.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And then like, what is the one that Scott was
really into? Was it something Sunset?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
No, he wasn't into it selling Sunset.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Isn't that different?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, that's that's that's like real estate?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, but is it people who are looking for houses? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
And but you see all these fabulous like you know
that's an.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Unfair one, but but is it?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Are there real estate ones where it's people who are
looking to buy a house?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Like they're they're or is that what house Hunters is?
I don't know. I've never seen house Hunters.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
That's house Hunters.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, I've never seen any of them.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I have no Oh, that's right, Scott like Shaws of Sunset.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
The he did not.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
He liked below Deck, Below Deck, he was big into
he was big in two. You know what I learned though, Like,
and again, I've not watched any of those shows, any
of them. It just doesn't live in my wheelhouse, right,
do you know how they get all those people?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Like whether it's I figure it's like the casting, right,
that's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I had no idea. I don't know where I thought
that I had.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I don't know, but it literally they said, like if
you watch one of these shows at the end, that
they'll put up like if you I don't know if
it says explicitly if you want to be on the
show or to try to be on the show or
whatever it is, but it is like, and if I
think about it, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
But I had no idea how they found those people.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
You thought, I understand that there may be some submission,
but they then go through screening to decide if they're
right for the role.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, and it sounds like it is
pretty mm like, would I be able to find anybody
who one of two people?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Anybody who's ever been featured on one of those shows?
That'd be hard but great.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I don't watch any of them, but I'd love to
hear from someone.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh I would too, because I read about how some of.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The sausages made. If I'm Susie the in Paris, thank you, I.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Was an international house Hunters the show.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
House Hunters International.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah a j John Oh hold hi Joe the.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Either somebody that's been on one of those shows or
somebody that's applied to be on one of those shows.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You may have more of those.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh yeah, well I should have more of those. If
two people applied and one got on double amount?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
What kind of value of Mary talking for applicants?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I don't know, That's what I have, no idea. I
have no idea. I also don't know like love it
or listed, I've never even heard.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Of that was was one of my favorite ones.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now what is that? What is the show?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
David is?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Hold on one second, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
CHRISTI will you do me a favor?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Will you see if you can find me somebody that's
either been on the show that's applied to the show,
maybe applied in interviewed or is that what they would
call it, like they did like a casting interview or something,
and then it maybe didn't get on the show.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Eight six six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
So David Hillary's gone now they've they've replaced her. What's
but it was David and Hillary for the longest time together.
David is a realtor, right, and then Hillary is a designer, right.
And they go into a house and Hillary plays it.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It's always like the couple in the house.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
One of them hates it, wants to move, one of
them loves it, thinks it just needs a little juging up, right,
and then Hillary Hillary's job is to go in. The
family has to move out. Hillary's job is to go
in and redo the house to make it better suited
to their needs.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Whereas David the realtor takes.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Them out and shows them all these fabulous houses that
are in their budget range. And then at the end
of the show, are you going to love it or
are you going to list it?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And that's the show pretty much and I loved it.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
If you apply for a house hunter style show, the
producers will likely expect you to have already purchased a home.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Maybe say that again, I don't understand if.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You apply for a house hunter where you're out looking
to purchase a house, so.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Not specifically house hunters.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Correct, okay, a house hunter style show, okay, the producers
will likely expect you to have already purchased a home.
While that sounds like the opposite of house hunting, it is.
It's also the worst kept secret in the biz. Because
of the time constraints of producing a regularly scheduled show,
(05:25):
producers often create quote fake house hunt built around a
purchase that has already happened.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Wow, so you go. You will be asked to sign
an NDA.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
So on those shows, they'll show you like three or
usually the three houses, and then they'll you'll see them
like sitting down over coffee, like Hammon and Han like
I don't know, I really like that neighborhood own it's
close to the schools we need, you.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Right?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
But they already own one of those houses.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yes, yes, Now I don't know if they can call
me because they did.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Sign an NBA, which means they can't Well.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I also don't know how how long it lasts.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Did it never expire? That's what's been on forever?
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, and again I don't know, Like that's house Hunters,
like there could be some like cheaper ripoff.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's like we ain't going through legal Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
House Hunters premiered in ninety nine. No way, there have
been twenty four hundred episodes.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Are you serious? Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
But it now makes a lot of sense if everything's
already signed off on.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Now, let's pretend that we're not house hunting, but we're renovating.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
People may be turning off the radio. You're you're showing
us too much.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Many renovation shows require that you already have a project
planned and that you were prepared to pay for the
entire thing, minus whatever fees the show's host would have
charge for their decoration or general contracting services. So you
already have a project going, well, you at least designed
and ready to go. Yeah, like you've got a project
(06:59):
that is land.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So were these shows total scams?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
It sounds like it.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I wonder if that's why Hillary left.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I love her, she was the original bride by the
way in Rocky Horror, Hillary Farr.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Was wait in the Rocky Horror Picture show the Bride.
Why can't I picture her?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
There's shorter, darkest hair.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
No, because in my head all I'm seeing you're.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Thinking of Susan Saranda, Susan Sarandon and nipple coming out
of her pajamas.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
She was the bride.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Interesting and when we interview you to be on the show,
better be a little bit of drama, like you said.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I mean they are making a.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Show or or or what.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It's a renovation because there's been a life changing event,
i e. Handicap. Oh yeah, they love those. They love
those really. Yeah, we got to renovate. We got to
put in ramps and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
They love that.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Like that is like you put that on your application,
top of the list. Yeah, they love that. Now not
too many. Yeah, it's good to have. It's good to
have a ramp, but it's also good to have drama.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Where am I going? Line one? Hi Ellie in the morning.
Yeah this mean yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Hey? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:24):
This is Kevin.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
So.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
Me and my wife bought a home about a year
and a half ago. And during the process, our realtor
was like, hey, you guys want to be on House Hunters.
We're like, okay, sure, So they set up an interview
and they told us, you know, just kind of, you know,
try to be funny. So I just picked on my
wife's the whole time and you know, made fun of
her and just kind of played back and forth. And
they were like, okay, yeah, we want you guys to
(08:46):
you know, be on the show. So you got to
we need to come in and take a video of
you know, your current house, and then four days later
your your new home and we're like, wow, okay. Four
days to get everything packed up from one house into
another was just like wait a minute, now, not enough time.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
How did your how did your real estate agent? What
is your real estate agent's connection to House Hunters?
Speaker 8 (09:09):
I have no idea, but yeah, they offered to pay us.
You know, it was like twelve bucks an hour. I
was like, man, this is insane.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Twelve bucks an hour.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
I was like, man, this is ridiculous. There's not a
chance that that I'm gonna you know, work my butt
off and go through all jump through all these hoops,
moving out and in within you know, four days for
twelve bucks an hour.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
It was. It was.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
They did say, no, I didn't read anything about the pay,
but they did say that like during the course of
the shoot, like to get everything right, like you may
have said to your wife like oh quit being you know,
quit being snooty, that they may want you to say
it several different ways. They said you could just end
up standing in the house with the camera guy repeating
lines for fifteen hours.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, that was all in the clause. I
mean all the you know, paperwork for it. I read
through it, you know, you gotta there was so many things.
I was like, it's just it was just too much,
too much for what they were asking for. And you're right,
so you we did already pick our home when they
asked us to be on it, so we'd have to
kind of fake, you know, like oh wow, like this
(10:13):
one or you know, what what have you? And yeah,
it was it was not. It's not of those dream
as you think it would be. Hey, you know, it
sounded great. They did offer, though, to pay for our
like a month of our rent, and then our realtorate
was like, oh, we'll give you five hundred bucks to move,
like they really wanted to get in on it, of course.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So can I ask you a question real quick and
and please please take this the way it is intended.
Are you and your wife either really good looking or
really homely?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
I would say that my wife's Italian and I'm American
and I'm into motorcycles and she's more reserved, you know.
So it was, you know, definitely a big difference between
us too and being able to you know, just.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Play a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Why Like, like, no real estate agent has ever said
to me, we should put.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You on TV.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
No, so I'm either thinking like you're you're like a
like an Adonis, or you're like a troll, like like
somewhere like someone who's in the middle, which I'm being
kind to myself, i'd lean more trollish the But yeah,
nobody has ever said, hey, I'm gonna call house hunters.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You know who needs to be on TV?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
This guy?
Speaker 7 (11:22):
You?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, that has never happened. All right, very good, very good,
thank you sir.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yes, Tom, do you have anything on Living Alaska? No,
I've never heard of the show.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Now, also keep.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Mind your renovation does need to fall in line with
their shooting schedule.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Wait, what is it Living Alaska Jackie Wrights. I've always
been suspicious of that one. There's no way that many
homes are for sale. I think a lot are just
rented to this to show a beautiful home for one
day and make people think all cabins are gorgeous in
the state.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, I got nothing on Living Alaska.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And Matt writes, I was on my lottery dream home
and can confirm this is one.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I love that show. I love David. He is the best.
He is so full of life.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I love that guy, and that these are people who
who win the lottery and then David goes to wherever
they want to go and then finds and meets up
with a local realtor that he needs. He seems to
know everybody and they're like David, and and then he
meets them and he's like, okay, let's go spend that money.
And then they go and they look at like, well,
(12:33):
well my budget is one million dollars. And then they
go and look around and then they find them a place.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
They have to have the house already purchased. Get faked.
Now we fake it.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
And that kind of what Matt is leading us to believe.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
What did he say again.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I got once Diane started clapping and throwing her arms
in the air.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I didn't hear the rest of the sentence.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
All I know is that we were trying to get
David's attention? Is that what was happening with Diane?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Wait? So I was on?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He was online on not trying to audition.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Wait, so did he win.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Ticket?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
What?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
How much do you have to win to be on
that show?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I feel like it's at least a million?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Who he won a million dollars? Well, I mean, who knows?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
He could have won a five dollars scratch off and
they're like, well, you won the lottery, that's good enough.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Do you think they're lying about the jackpots?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, they're lying about everything. Did you say line one?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Kristin hi Elliot the morning?
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Hey, this is Adam.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
How are you doing Hey, I'm doing great? What is
your tide to these shows?
Speaker 7 (13:36):
So?
Speaker 9 (13:36):
I was a carpenter for four years on a renovation.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Show like move which one it was on.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
The Outdoor channel still going on. It's called Renovation Hunters.
You do cabins and stuff in the woods, but it
was everything was paid for for the families for the
entire show. So it was one of the only real ones,
the entire cats and crew that you saw on it.
They were the only ones that worked on the show,
So very different from the ones that just bring a
ton of people in and everybody has to pay for everything.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Is that because the one that you were on and
what was the name of the show.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
That you worked on, Renovation Hunters Hunters.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Right, is it?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Because like it was, it's pretty niche to be in
the cabin world.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
So definitely, sponsors paid for most stuff they came to there,
and then cabins. I mean we did like double wides,
we did farmhouses, we did eighteen hundreds like cabins and
stuff all over the country. So yeah, I think mainly
because the people were just they had special interest thing
that came up, and Outdoor Channel was trying to get
people to do stuff in the outdoors, so they were
(14:40):
looking in the front the bill for a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Of it oln former home of the NHL.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
All right, very good, very good, Thank you sir, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You did ask them about accessibility and ramps?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh yeah, hey, did you guys always move the handicap
guy to the front.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
That's just a weird part to put in this look
behind and the curtains.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
No, because it looks good.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
You went in, you took care of a service member,
Like it's a great story, all right, and you know, listen,
don't made me pull out the old Casey Kasum clip.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
But you know, at some point.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
They were like, Okay, we've had three families fighting. We
need a feel good get me, get me a service
member who blew up a lego are I hate to
be cold like that, but that's how show biz works.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Just hoping that Diane can share their excitement for all
reality TV.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Oh I loved I want to talk to the lottery
guy about David.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I love that guy. Lava writes, I miss blowout. I
still laugh about Jonathan washing his hair with bottled water
and talking about how his hair really popped, and Matt
has responded, Oh yeah, the lottery guy to answer the question,
it was one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
He won a million dollars, dude.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
The episode he was on is called Payday and Va.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Diane, there she goes, that's making it to your.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
To do list for TV and da that.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
List, I'm intrigued a big deal? Wit does he? Is
he right under breaking bad?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Now? Hi?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Elliott The Morning Yeah, this's man. Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 9 (16:33):
This is Drew from Richard.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Hey, Drew, what can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (16:37):
So October of twenty twenty three, I took part in
a show called House of What.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
House of What? House of What? Is that the name
of it? Yes?
Speaker 10 (16:49):
Oh okay, yeah, And it's about unique and super energy
of fishing homes and recyclable homes and my father's home
that I grew up and he still lives in. It
is a super insulated, orth sheltered home. So they came
in and were there all day for about twelve hours,
(17:12):
filmed everything in the house, and it was like at
about an hour of an interview and it aired last April.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's kind of cool though, that's kind of cool. Hey
did they have to like once they saw how it
was done? Were they like, uh, I wish I didn't
know how the sausage machine works?
Speaker 10 (17:34):
No, they were awesome. I mean everybody thought it was
really cool to take part in and come inside of it.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
And so it was.
Speaker 10 (17:43):
Let's see, I guess the producer woman was there and
then her camera crew, which included total about five people
plus myself there all day. Didn't really have a lot
to prep for it was one room that we just
kind of deemed off limits because it was kind of
(18:04):
a wreck. But every other room we went into the
house and talked about different features in it.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
But that's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 10 (18:13):
You know what for you is the entire home is underground, right,
is hurting grass?
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Right? No?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I get that, I get that, Thank you, my friend.
I don't like hearing that the house hunter shows though
you've already purchased a house.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, And then I got.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
To stand around for eighteen hours going no, Jackie, I
don't think that's a good No, no jack am I
saying it? No Jackie, No, no Jackie like that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I don't like hearing.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Handful of people have said who clearly were aware of this,
and then some have had friends on the show, and
some clearly just read forums. But once you see this,
you can't unsee it. And it's very easy to predict
which house they end up seeing so that they already owned, yeah,
the one they already bought. Yeah, Because what's the tell
it is the level of nitpicking on what clearly is
(19:04):
the house that they have.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Uh. Yeah, I don't care what you're doing in that house.
I don't know, bad house? You know, paint the whole
thing yellow.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Mine three.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
As Jimmy writes, it's usually the house where they comment,
ew this mud room wall color isn't the vibe?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I want?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Hello? Hello?
Speaker 8 (19:29):

Speaker 3 (19:42):
I have a friend who was on George to the Rescue,
and I have him here next to me one of
my co workers.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Wait a minute, what was I do? But what was
the name of the show.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
George to the Rescue? Channel four?
Speaker 11 (19:55):
It was Channel NBC.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, yeah, Channel four is also New York.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
By the way, I'm not getting the same excitement out
of Diane for George.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Well, am I am? I right? Is that show on
like really really early in the morning?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Yes, okay, like before like the four o'clock news.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Right, No, it's I think it's a nine o'clock show,
and then I think it repeats again. It's seven o'clock
on a Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's just really on Saturday night. No, but Diane, you
got to remember he's watching Channel four.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Is NBC in New York, right, Yeah, and that's going
to be different than Channel four here.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I believe it's I believe it's on four here. I
feel like I've seen it at like three in the morning.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Yeah. They definitely short at random times.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Hey, so wait a minute, what were you? How are
you on the show?
Speaker 7 (20:45):
A long story short? My mother in law. I guess
it's always a sort of feel good type of thing,
you know. So my mother in law fortunately had a
stroke and she was living with us for a while
because you know, the rehab or whatever it was. They
kicked her out of rehabits early and she had to
(21:07):
come and stay with us for a while because she
wasn't fully recovered.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
By the way, if I were if I were the
casting director, I'd be like, Oh, tell me more stroke rehab,
tell me.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Ran out or something. I don't know how that works,
but but anyway, in the meantime, I had a leak
in my bathroom upstairs, and it came through the and
it came through the kitchen ceiling. So just a lot
of chaos at the time. And then my mother in
law had written into the show, written an email under
(21:41):
the show saying that she really appreciated my you know,
her daughter and myself taking her in and helping her
out and all this stuff. So she wanted the somehow repays.
So she wrote a random email to George to the rescue.
And the next thing, and the next thing, I'm sitting
on the couch in the front room and I see
that what do you call that big microphone thing passing
(22:04):
the one the boom, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
The big boom boom. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
I'm like, what the hell is this? And I didn't
open the door. I looked, I peeked out, and I
seen them sound in there, and I ran and ran
through the kitchen like a car. My wife, he said,
you'd better do with this stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
So so let me ask you this. Did it end
up like? Did it end up being a good thing?
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Though?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Absolutely, I mean they they totally they renovated because of
the complete bathroom upstairs. They fixed the situation in the
in the kitchen, and they did a little they did
a little like bonus thing in the back room where
they I mean, I'm a topical man. They put on
(22:49):
a sixty five inch TV.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I was up there, you go, there you go, yeah,
you know what, Yeah, you could take the ramps out,
Just put the TV in.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
We'll be good to go.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, exactly, all right, dude, Hey, well listen, I appreciate
the phone call.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Give Eileen a hug for me. She's the best. You
got it, my friend. Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
That may be my favorite story, and the name of
the show may have something to do with it. Also
the fact that Diane somehow has seen what sounds very
regional still made her way.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Popping through and it's like, oh, that's a nice story.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Hi, Elliott in the morning. Hey, you guys have going good? Hey,
real quick, what can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Man, So I'm not going to say my name or
anything because I found an n d A, but I
was on House Hunters with my wife and our episode
may or may not be airing in the.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Next two weeks.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
May or may not, I don't know, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Just take you a guest. You made it on the
Diane's to do list.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yes, you're now you're only two underbreaking to you. All right,
very good, thank you, sir. And then I got yes.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Tom wants to know with what we've learned, Yes, when
should we expect to see something in Philly with Josh?
He didn't even buy the house. It was left to
him from a dead relative. But he's selecting from two others.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Line six, I gotta go quick. Hi Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
Haileyett SENNI for young. I was on house Hunters. How
are you wait?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You were on house Hunters.
Speaker 11 (24:36):
I was in twenty nineteen. But now I'm worried because
I find an MBA that I forgot about. So your
last caller reminded, me.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Oh no, you did Bham in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Wait a minute, they did.
Speaker 11 (24:45):
Wait a minute, she get a video and pick her.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It was.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
It was definitely heartfelt, like the couple was sweet that
she had recovered from cancer and so that was a
story and they were a beautiful couple. But they definitely
were promoted to bicker, like encouraged to bicker a little
bit what she liked, what he didn't like. It was funny.
We filmed for eight hours and I just did the
house versus being the buyer agent. I was a listing
agent for one of the dream houses of theirs, and
we did it eight hours and it was like three
(25:09):
minutes on air.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Which is pretty Hey. Wait, so so a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Number one, how did they how like, how did they
how did they find you?
Speaker 11 (25:19):
They found me? Their producer used to be the producer
of the Kardashians, which is fascinating to ask him about.
And ADKTD found Yeah, I forgot his name. I have
this car.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I'll find it for you later.
Speaker 11 (25:29):
But they found me or my house. It was my
listing by sneed Holmes, this gorgeous house and false church,
like a two million dollar property. So I think they
found us and maybe maybe I don't know, like the
whole look, but they just really wanted to promote our
property as like their dream home and they went to
found a fixed rupper instead.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Oh yeah, damn it.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
But I'd love that they would be like, hey, bicker,
like call her like hey, cancer phase or whatever. That's rough.
Speaker 11 (25:53):
They did give the husband a hard time and they
would like reshoot to bicker a little bit more. But
it was funny, it was sweet in the end, and
it was a good story. But yes, everything was pre planned.
It was not original.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Oh man shows Yeah no, the reading about that man
the sausage machine is unreal.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah, but think how like everybody's gone through the process
of like finding a new apartment or finding a new
house to live right, How boring that would be to
watch on television if there wasn't some like drama added
to it, did.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Anything else you want to just criticize, Jennifer.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
I'm not saying no, but it's it's it's just a task,
Like it's fun to go look at different houses.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I heard Jennifer over talking or talking with a fellow
realtor and goes, oh god, could you imagine being a
disc jockey.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
It is a TV show. They're trying to get eyes
on it.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, sure, I get that.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
That's that's no shade to Jennifer whatever, cancer lady.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Yeah no, you're right Diane though, but it's kind of boring,
Like look at this beautiful white kitchen and you kind
of pass it by. It gets old after a while,
but you don't have something amazing. It's not for TV.
You're absolutely right, all right, Jennifer
I'm not a big like house person, like about me.
Like the TV shows like HG TV.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, Like I've never.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Seen Doctor House the No.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
That was a pretty good show though, that's pretty good
the No No. Like for example, I know I've heard
of Property Brothers. Yeah, I don't watch it. I've never
seen an episode of it. House Hunters mm, never never
seen an episode of it. Love it or list It? Yeah,
you know all of these.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I've watched a lot of those shows.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Have you really? What are the like? What is what
is the two famous people, the Gaineses.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
They're not Joanna Chip and Joanna.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
They're not. They're not. They're not on anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Oh but I've never seen one of their Yeah, I've
never seen one of theirs.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
And then like, what is the one that Scott was
really into? Was it something Sunset?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
No, he wasn't into it selling Sunset.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Isn't that different?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, that's that's that's like real estate?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, but is it people who are looking for houses? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
And but you see all these fabulous like you know
that's an.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Unfair one, but but is it?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Are there real estate ones where it's people who are
looking to buy a house?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Like they're they're or is that what house Hunters is?
I don't know. I've never seen house Hunters.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
That's house Hunters.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, I've never seen any of them.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I have no Oh, that's right, Scott like Shaws of Sunset.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
The he did not.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
He liked below Deck, Below Deck, he was big into
he was big in two. You know what I learned though, Like,
and again, I've not watched any of those shows, any
of them. It just doesn't live in my wheelhouse, right,
do you know how they get all those people?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Like whether it's I figure it's like the casting, right,
that's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I had no idea. I don't know where I thought
that I had.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I don't know, but it literally they said, like if
you watch one of these shows at the end, that
they'll put up like if you I don't know if
it says explicitly if you want to be on the
show or to try to be on the show or
whatever it is, but it is like, and if I
think about it, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
But I had no idea how they found those people.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
You thought, I understand that there may be some submission,
but they then go through screening to decide if they're
right for the role.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, and it sounds like it is
pretty mm like, would I be able to find anybody
who one of two people?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Anybody who's ever been featured on one of those shows?
That'd be hard but great.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
I don't watch any of them, but I'd love to
hear from someone.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh I would too, because I read about how some of.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The sausages made. If I'm Susie the in Paris, thank you, I.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Was an international house Hunters the show.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
House Hunters International.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah a j John Oh hold hi Joe the.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Either somebody that's been on one of those shows or
somebody that's applied to be on one of those shows.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You may have more of those.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Oh yeah, well I should have more of those. If
two people applied and one got on double amount?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
What kind of value of Mary talking for applicants?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I don't know, That's what I have, no idea. I
have no idea. I also don't know like love it
or listed, I've never even heard.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Of that was was one of my favorite ones.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Now what is that? What is the show?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
David is?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Well?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Hold on one second, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
CHRISTI will you do me a favor?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Will you see if you can find me somebody that's
either been on the show that's applied to the show,
maybe applied in interviewed or is that what they would
call it, like they did like a casting interview or something,
and then it maybe didn't get on the show.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Eight six six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I'm sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
So David Hillary's gone now they've they've replaced her. What's
but it was David and Hillary for the longest time together.
David is a realtor, right, and then Hillary is a designer, right.
And they go into a house and Hillary plays it.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
It's always like the couple in the house.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
One of them hates it, wants to move, one of
them loves it, thinks it just needs a little juging up, right,
and then Hillary Hillary's job is to go in. The
family has to move out. Hillary's job is to go
in and redo the house to make it better suited
to their needs.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Whereas David the realtor takes.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Them out and shows them all these fabulous houses that
are in their budget range. And then at the end
of the show, are you going to love it or
are you going to list it?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And that's the show pretty much and I loved it.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
If you apply for a house hunter style show, the
producers will likely expect you to have already purchased a home.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Maybe say that again, I don't understand if.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You apply for a house hunter where you're out looking
to purchase a house, so.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Not specifically house hunters.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Correct, okay, a house hunter style show, okay, the producers
will likely expect you to have already purchased a home.
While that sounds like the opposite of house hunting, it is.
It's also the worst kept secret in the biz. Because
of the time constraints of producing a regularly scheduled show,
(05:25):
producers often create quote fake house hunt built around a
purchase that has already happened.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Wow, so you go. You will be asked to sign
an NDA.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
So on those shows, they'll show you like three or
usually the three houses, and then they'll you'll see them
like sitting down over coffee, like Hammon and Han like
I don't know, I really like that neighborhood own it's
close to the schools we need, you.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Right?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
But they already own one of those houses.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yes, yes, Now I don't know if they can call
me because they did.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Sign an NBA, which means they can't Well.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I also don't know how how long it lasts.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Did it never expire? That's what's been on forever?
Speaker 6 (06:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, and again I don't know, Like that's house Hunters,
like there could be some like cheaper ripoff.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
That's like we ain't going through legal Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
House Hunters premiered in ninety nine. No way, there have
been twenty four hundred episodes.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Are you serious? Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
But it now makes a lot of sense if everything's
already signed off on.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Now, let's pretend that we're not house hunting, but we're renovating.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
People may be turning off the radio. You're you're showing
us too much.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Many renovation shows require that you already have a project
planned and that you were prepared to pay for the
entire thing, minus whatever fees the show's host would have
charge for their decoration or general contracting services. So you
already have a project going, well, you at least designed
and ready to go. Yeah, like you've got a project
(06:59):
that is land.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
So were these shows total scams?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
It sounds like it.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I wonder if that's why Hillary left.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
I love her, she was the original bride by the
way in Rocky Horror, Hillary Farr.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Was wait in the Rocky Horror Picture show the Bride.
Why can't I picture her?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
There's shorter, darkest hair.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
No, because in my head all I'm seeing you're.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Thinking of Susan Saranda, Susan Sarandon and nipple coming out
of her pajamas.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
She was the bride.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Interesting and when we interview you to be on the show,
better be a little bit of drama, like you said.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Oh yeah, of course.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I mean they are making a.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Show or or or what.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It's a renovation because there's been a life changing event,
i e. Handicap. Oh yeah, they love those. They love
those really. Yeah, we got to renovate. We got to
put in ramps and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
They love that.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Like that is like you put that on your application,
top of the list. Yeah, they love that. Now not
too many. Yeah, it's good to have. It's good to
have a ramp, but it's also good to have drama.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Where am I going? Line one? Hi Ellie in the morning.
Yeah this mean yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Hey? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:24):
This is Kevin.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
So.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
Me and my wife bought a home about a year
and a half ago. And during the process, our realtor
was like, hey, you guys want to be on House Hunters.
We're like, okay, sure, So they set up an interview
and they told us, you know, just kind of, you know,
try to be funny. So I just picked on my
wife's the whole time and you know, made fun of
her and just kind of played back and forth. And
they were like, okay, yeah, we want you guys to
(08:46):
you know, be on the show. So you got to
we need to come in and take a video of
you know, your current house, and then four days later
your your new home and we're like, wow, okay. Four
days to get everything packed up from one house into
another was just like wait a minute, now, not enough time.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
How did your how did your real estate agent? What
is your real estate agent's connection to House Hunters?
Speaker 8 (09:09):
I have no idea, but yeah, they offered to pay us.
You know, it was like twelve bucks an hour. I
was like, man, this is insane.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Twelve bucks an hour.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 8 (09:19):
I was like, man, this is ridiculous. There's not a
chance that that I'm gonna you know, work my butt
off and go through all jump through all these hoops,
moving out and in within you know, four days for
twelve bucks an hour.
Speaker 7 (09:31):
It was. It was.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
They did say, no, I didn't read anything about the pay,
but they did say that like during the course of
the shoot, like to get everything right, like you may
have said to your wife like oh quit being you know,
quit being snooty, that they may want you to say
it several different ways. They said you could just end
up standing in the house with the camera guy repeating
lines for fifteen hours.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, that was all in the clause. I
mean all the you know, paperwork for it. I read
through it, you know, you gotta there was so many things.
I was like, it's just it was just too much,
too much for what they were asking for. And you're right,
so you we did already pick our home when they
asked us to be on it, so we'd have to
kind of fake, you know, like oh wow, like this
(10:13):
one or you know, what what have you? And yeah,
it was it was not. It's not of those dream
as you think it would be. Hey, you know, it
sounded great. They did offer, though, to pay for our
like a month of our rent, and then our realtorate
was like, oh, we'll give you five hundred bucks to move,
like they really wanted to get in on it, of course.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
So can I ask you a question real quick and
and please please take this the way it is intended.
Are you and your wife either really good looking or
really homely?
Speaker 8 (10:45):
I would say that my wife's Italian and I'm American
and I'm into motorcycles and she's more reserved, you know.
So it was, you know, definitely a big difference between
us too and being able to you know, just.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Play a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Why Like, like, no real estate agent has ever said
to me, we should put.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
You on TV.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
No, so I'm either thinking like you're you're like a
like an Adonis, or you're like a troll, like like
somewhere like someone who's in the middle, which I'm being
kind to myself, i'd lean more trollish the But yeah,
nobody has ever said, hey, I'm gonna call house hunters.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
You know who needs to be on TV?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
This guy?
Speaker 7 (11:22):
You?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, that has never happened. All right, very good, very good,
thank you sir.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yes, Tom, do you have anything on Living Alaska? No,
I've never heard of the show.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Now, also keep.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Mind your renovation does need to fall in line with
their shooting schedule.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Wait, what is it Living Alaska Jackie Wrights. I've always
been suspicious of that one. There's no way that many
homes are for sale. I think a lot are just
rented to this to show a beautiful home for one
day and make people think all cabins are gorgeous in
the state.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, I got nothing on Living Alaska.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And Matt writes, I was on my lottery dream home
and can confirm this is one.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
I love that show. I love David. He is the best.
He is so full of life.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I love that guy, and that these are people who
who win the lottery and then David goes to wherever
they want to go and then finds and meets up
with a local realtor that he needs. He seems to
know everybody and they're like David, and and then he
meets them and he's like, okay, let's go spend that money.
And then they go and they look at like, well,
(12:33):
well my budget is one million dollars. And then they
go and look around and then they find them a place.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
They have to have the house already purchased. Get faked.
Now we fake it.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
And that kind of what Matt is leading us to believe.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
What did he say again.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I got once Diane started clapping and throwing her arms
in the air.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I didn't hear the rest of the sentence.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
All I know is that we were trying to get
David's attention? Is that what was happening with Diane?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Wait? So I was on?
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He was online on not trying to audition.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Wait, so did he win.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Ticket?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
What?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
How much do you have to win to be on
that show?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I feel like it's at least a million?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Who he won a million dollars? Well, I mean, who knows?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
He could have won a five dollars scratch off and
they're like, well, you won the lottery, that's good enough.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Do you think they're lying about the jackpots?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, they're lying about everything. Did you say line one?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Kristin hi Elliot the morning?
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Hey, this is Adam.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
How are you doing Hey, I'm doing great? What is
your tide to these shows?
Speaker 7 (13:36):
So?
Speaker 9 (13:36):
I was a carpenter for four years on a renovation.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Show like move which one it was on.
Speaker 9 (13:44):
The Outdoor channel still going on. It's called Renovation Hunters.
You do cabins and stuff in the woods, but it
was everything was paid for for the families for the
entire show. So it was one of the only real ones,
the entire cats and crew that you saw on it.
They were the only ones that worked on the show,
So very different from the ones that just bring a
ton of people in and everybody has to pay for everything.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Is that because the one that you were on and
what was the name of the show.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
That you worked on, Renovation Hunters Hunters.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Right, is it?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Because like it was, it's pretty niche to be in
the cabin world.
Speaker 7 (14:18):
Yep.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
So definitely, sponsors paid for most stuff they came to there,
and then cabins. I mean we did like double wides,
we did farmhouses, we did eighteen hundreds like cabins and
stuff all over the country. So yeah, I think mainly
because the people were just they had special interest thing
that came up, and Outdoor Channel was trying to get
people to do stuff in the outdoors, so they were
(14:40):
looking in the front the bill for a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Of it oln former home of the NHL.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
All right, very good, very good, Thank you sir, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You did ask them about accessibility and ramps?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Oh yeah, hey, did you guys always move the handicap
guy to the front.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
That's just a weird part to put in this look
behind and the curtains.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
No, because it looks good.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
You went in, you took care of a service member,
Like it's a great story, all right, and you know, listen,
don't made me pull out the old Casey Kasum clip.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
But you know, at some point.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
They were like, Okay, we've had three families fighting. We
need a feel good get me, get me a service
member who blew up a lego are I hate to
be cold like that, but that's how show biz works.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Just hoping that Diane can share their excitement for all
reality TV.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
Oh I loved I want to talk to the lottery
guy about David.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I love that guy. Lava writes, I miss blowout. I
still laugh about Jonathan washing his hair with bottled water
and talking about how his hair really popped, and Matt
has responded, Oh yeah, the lottery guy to answer the question,
it was one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
He won a million dollars, dude.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
The episode he was on is called Payday and Va.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Diane, there she goes, that's making it to your.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
To do list for TV and da that.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
List, I'm intrigued a big deal? Wit does he? Is
he right under breaking bad?
Speaker 7 (16:25):
Now? Hi?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Elliott The Morning Yeah, this's man. Yeah, Hi, who's this?
Speaker 9 (16:33):
This is Drew from Richard.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Hey, Drew, what can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (16:37):
So October of twenty twenty three, I took part in
a show called House of What.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
House of What? House of What? Is that the name
of it? Yes?
Speaker 10 (16:49):
Oh okay, yeah, And it's about unique and super energy
of fishing homes and recyclable homes and my father's home
that I grew up and he still lives in. It
is a super insulated, orth sheltered home. So they came
in and were there all day for about twelve hours,
(17:12):
filmed everything in the house, and it was like at
about an hour of an interview and it aired last April.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's kind of cool though, that's kind of cool. Hey
did they have to like once they saw how it
was done? Were they like, uh, I wish I didn't
know how the sausage machine works?
Speaker 10 (17:34):
No, they were awesome. I mean everybody thought it was
really cool to take part in and come inside of it.
Speaker 8 (17:39):
And so it was.
Speaker 10 (17:43):
Let's see, I guess the producer woman was there and
then her camera crew, which included total about five people
plus myself there all day. Didn't really have a lot
to prep for it was one room that we just
kind of deemed off limits because it was kind of
(18:04):
a wreck. But every other room we went into the
house and talked about different features in it.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
But that's cool, that's cool.
Speaker 10 (18:13):
You know what for you is the entire home is underground, right,
is hurting grass?
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Right? No?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I get that, I get that, Thank you, my friend.
I don't like hearing that the house hunter shows though
you've already purchased a house.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, And then I got.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
To stand around for eighteen hours going no, Jackie, I
don't think that's a good No, no jack am I
saying it? No Jackie, No, no Jackie like that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I don't like hearing.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Handful of people have said who clearly were aware of this,
and then some have had friends on the show, and
some clearly just read forums. But once you see this,
you can't unsee it. And it's very easy to predict
which house they end up seeing so that they already owned, yeah,
the one they already bought. Yeah, Because what's the tell
it is the level of nitpicking on what clearly is
(19:04):
the house that they have.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Uh. Yeah, I don't care what you're doing in that house.
I don't know, bad house? You know, paint the whole
thing yellow.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Mine three.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
As Jimmy writes, it's usually the house where they comment,
ew this mud room wall color isn't the vibe?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I want?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Hello? Hello?
Speaker 8 (19:29):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Is this me?
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Who's this?
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (19:32):
Ellien?
Speaker 7 (19:32):

Speaker 1 (19:32):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
II?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Leen up in New York? How are you?
Speaker 6 (19:37):
I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
This is you, guys.
Speaker 11 (19:39):
I listen of course every morning.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
I have a friend who was on George to the Rescue,
and I have him here next to me one of
my co workers.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Wait a minute, what was I do? But what was
the name of the show.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
George to the Rescue? Channel four?
Speaker 11 (19:55):
It was Channel NBC.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Yeah, yeah, Channel four is also New York.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
By the way, I'm not getting the same excitement out
of Diane for George.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Well, am I am? I right? Is that show on
like really really early in the morning?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Yes, okay, like before like the four o'clock news.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Right, No, it's I think it's a nine o'clock show,
and then I think it repeats again. It's seven o'clock
on a Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
It's just really on Saturday night. No, but Diane, you
got to remember he's watching Channel four.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Is NBC in New York, right, Yeah, and that's going
to be different than Channel four here.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
I believe it's I believe it's on four here. I
feel like I've seen it at like three in the morning.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Yeah. They definitely short at random times.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Hey, so wait a minute, what were you? How are
you on the show?
Speaker 7 (20:45):
A long story short? My mother in law. I guess
it's always a sort of feel good type of thing,
you know. So my mother in law fortunately had a
stroke and she was living with us for a while
because you know, the rehab or whatever it was. They
kicked her out of rehabits early and she had to
(21:07):
come and stay with us for a while because she
wasn't fully recovered.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
By the way, if I were if I were the
casting director, I'd be like, Oh, tell me more stroke rehab,
tell me.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Ran out or something. I don't know how that works,
but but anyway, in the meantime, I had a leak
in my bathroom upstairs, and it came through the and
it came through the kitchen ceiling. So just a lot
of chaos at the time. And then my mother in
law had written into the show, written an email under
(21:41):
the show saying that she really appreciated my you know,
her daughter and myself taking her in and helping her
out and all this stuff. So she wanted the somehow repays.
So she wrote a random email to George to the rescue.
And the next thing, and the next thing, I'm sitting
on the couch in the front room and I see
that what do you call that big microphone thing passing
(22:04):
the one the boom, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
The big boom boom. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
I'm like, what the hell is this? And I didn't
open the door. I looked, I peeked out, and I
seen them sound in there, and I ran and ran
through the kitchen like a car. My wife, he said,
you'd better do with this stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
So so let me ask you this. Did it end
up like? Did it end up being a good thing?
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Though?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (22:28):
Absolutely, I mean they they totally they renovated because of
the complete bathroom upstairs. They fixed the situation in the
in the kitchen, and they did a little they did
a little like bonus thing in the back room where
they I mean, I'm a topical man. They put on
(22:49):
a sixty five inch TV.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I was up there, you go, there you go, yeah,
you know what, Yeah, you could take the ramps out,
Just put the TV in.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
We'll be good to go.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, exactly, all right, dude, Hey, well listen, I appreciate
the phone call.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Give Eileen a hug for me. She's the best. You
got it, my friend. Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
That may be my favorite story, and the name of
the show may have something to do with it. Also
the fact that Diane somehow has seen what sounds very
regional still made her way.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Popping through and it's like, oh, that's a nice story.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Hi, Elliott in the morning. Hey, you guys have going good? Hey,
real quick, what can I do for you?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (23:35):
Man, So I'm not going to say my name or
anything because I found an n d A, but I
was on House Hunters with my wife and our episode
may or may not be airing in the.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Next two weeks.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
May or may not, I don't know, you know.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Just take you a guest. You made it on the
Diane's to do list.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yes, you're now you're only two underbreaking to you. All right,
very good, thank you, sir. And then I got yes.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Tom wants to know with what we've learned, Yes, when
should we expect to see something in Philly with Josh?
He didn't even buy the house. It was left to
him from a dead relative. But he's selecting from two others.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Line six, I gotta go quick. Hi Elliot in the morning.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
Haileyett SENNI for young. I was on house Hunters. How
are you wait?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You were on house Hunters.
Speaker 11 (24:36):
I was in twenty nineteen. But now I'm worried because
I find an MBA that I forgot about. So your
last caller reminded, me.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Oh no, you did Bham in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Wait a minute, they did.
Speaker 11 (24:45):
Wait a minute, she get a video and pick her.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It was.
Speaker 11 (24:48):
It was definitely heartfelt, like the couple was sweet that
she had recovered from cancer and so that was a
story and they were a beautiful couple. But they definitely
were promoted to bicker, like encouraged to bicker a little
bit what she liked, what he didn't like. It was funny.
We filmed for eight hours and I just did the
house versus being the buyer agent. I was a listing
agent for one of the dream houses of theirs, and
we did it eight hours and it was like three
(25:09):
minutes on air.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Which is pretty Hey. Wait, so so a couple of things.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Number one, how did they how like, how did they
how did they find you?
Speaker 11 (25:19):
They found me? Their producer used to be the producer
of the Kardashians, which is fascinating to ask him about.
And ADKTD found Yeah, I forgot his name. I have
this car.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I'll find it for you later.
Speaker 11 (25:29):
But they found me or my house. It was my
listing by sneed Holmes, this gorgeous house and false church,
like a two million dollar property. So I think they
found us and maybe maybe I don't know, like the
whole look, but they just really wanted to promote our
property as like their dream home and they went to
found a fixed rupper instead.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Oh yeah, damn it.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
But I'd love that they would be like, hey, bicker,
like call her like hey, cancer phase or whatever. That's rough.
Speaker 11 (25:53):
They did give the husband a hard time and they
would like reshoot to bicker a little bit more. But
it was funny, it was sweet in the end, and
it was a good story. But yes, everything was pre planned.
It was not original.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Oh man shows Yeah no, the reading about that man
the sausage machine is unreal.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Yeah, but think how like everybody's gone through the process
of like finding a new apartment or finding a new
house to live right, How boring that would be to
watch on television if there wasn't some like drama added
to it, did.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Anything else you want to just criticize, Jennifer.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
I'm not saying no, but it's it's it's just a task,
Like it's fun to go look at different houses.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
You know, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I heard Jennifer over talking or talking with a fellow
realtor and goes, oh god, could you imagine being a
disc jockey.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
It is a TV show. They're trying to get eyes
on it.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, sure, I get that.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
That's that's no shade to Jennifer whatever, cancer lady.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Yeah no, you're right Diane though, but it's kind of boring,
Like look at this beautiful white kitchen and you kind
of pass it by. It gets old after a while,
but you don't have something amazing. It's not for TV.
You're absolutely right, all right, Jennifer
