Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm not a big like house person like me. Like
the TV shows like HG TV. Yeah, Like I've never
seen Doctor House the No. 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
(00:21):
Hunters mm, never never seen an episode of it. Love
it or list It? Yeah, you know all of these.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I've watched a lot of those shows.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Have you really? What are the like? What is what
is the two famous people, the Gaineses.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
They're not Joanna Chip and Joanna. Yeah, I don't know,
they're not.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
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. And then like, what is
the one that Scott was really into? Was it something Sunset?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, he wasn't into it selling Sunset.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Isn't that different?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, that's that's that's like real estate.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, but is it people who are looking for houses?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, and but you see all these fabulous like you
know that's an.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Unfair one, but but is it? Are there real estate
ones where it's people who are looking to buy a house,
like they're they're or is that what house Hunters is?
I don't know. I've never seen house Hunts.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
That's house Hunters.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, I've never seen any of them. I have no Oh,
that's right, Scott like Shaws of Sunset, the he did not.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
He liked below Deck, below Deck.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
He was big into he was big in too. 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? No, like whether it's.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
What figure, it's like they're casting, right, that's exactly it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I had no idea. I don't know where I thought
that I had. 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. But I
(02:07):
had no idea how they found those people.
Speaker 4 (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, anybody who's ever been featured
on one of those shows?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
That'd be hard but great. 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 the sausages made.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
You found Southie the in Paris, Thank you. I was
an international house Hunters the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
House Hunters International.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah a j John, Oh hold hi Joe. The either
somebody that's been on one of those shows or somebody
that's applied to be on one of those shows.
Speaker 4 (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 the amount.
Excuse me?
Speaker 4 (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 of.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That was was one of my favorite ones.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Now what is that? What is the show? David is?
Well it's on one second? Okay, CHRISTI will you do
me a favor? 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. Whatever. Eight six six to Elliott eight
(03:53):
six six two three five five four six eight. I'm sorry,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (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.
It's always like the couple in the house. One of
them hates it, wants to move, one of them loves it,
(04:16):
thinks it just needs a little jung up, right, and
then Hillary's 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, whereas David the realtor takes them out and
shows them all these fabulous houses that are in their
budget range.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And then at the end of the show, are you
going to love it or are you going to list it?
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 2 (04:56):
May say that again, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
If you apply for a house hunter where you're out
looking to purchase a house.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah, not specifically house hunters, correct, Okay, a.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
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, producers often
(05:26):
create quote fake house hunt built around a purchase that
has already happened. Wow, so you go. You will be
asked to sign an NDA.
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The schools we need, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Right?
Speaker 2 (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 2 (05:56):
Sign an NBA, which means they can't.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I also don't know how long it last.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Did it never expire? That's what's been on forever?
Speaker 3 (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. That's like
we ain't going through legal Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
House Hunters premiered in ninety nine. No way, there have
been twenty four hundred episodes. Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh my god?
Speaker 4 (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 4 (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
charged 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 play. So were these shows total scams?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
It sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I wonder if that's why Hillary left.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I love her.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
She was the original bride By the way, in Rocky Horror,
Hillary Farr was wait in the Rocky Horror Picture show
the Bride. Why can't I picture.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Her there's shorter, darkest hair.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
No, because in my head all I'm seeing you're thinking
of Susan, Saranda, Susan and nipple coming out of her pajamas.
Speaker 2 (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, Oh, yeah,
of course.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I mean they are making a show or or or what.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It's a renovation because there's been a life changing event,
i e. Handicap. Yeah, they love those. They love those.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Really.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, we got to renovate. We got to put in
ramps and all kinds of stuff. They love that. Like
that is like you put that on your application, top
of the list. Yeah, they love that. Now not too many.
It's good to have. It's good to have a ramp,
but it's also good to have drama. Where am I going?
Line one? Hi Ellie in the morning?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Yeah this mean yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Hey? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
This is Kevin.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
So me and my wife bought it home about a
year and a half ago, and during the process, our
realator 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
(08:46):
to you know, be on the shuttle. 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. Were 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 6 (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 1 (09:16):
Twelve bucks an hour, Yeah it was.
Speaker 6 (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 it within you know, four days
for twelve bucks an hour.
Speaker 5 (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 6 (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):
long or you know, what what have you? And yeah,
it was it was not. It's not as dreamy as
you think it would be. Hey, and you know, it
sounded great. They did offer, though, to pay for our
like a month of our rent, and then our realtory
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 6 (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 and being able to you know, just.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Play a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Why Like, like, no real estate agent has ever said
to me we should put you on TV. 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,
(11:19):
I'm gonna call house Hunters. You know who needs to
be on TV? This guy?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
You?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, that has never happened. All right, very good, very good,
Thank you sir.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yes, Tom, do you have anything on Living Alaska? No,
I've never heard of the show.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Now, also keep mind your renovation does need to fall
in line with their shooting schedule.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Thank you, Chris, 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 1 (11:56):
Yeah, I got nothing on Living Alaska.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
And Matt writes, I was on my lottery dream home
and can confirm this is one.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I love that show. I love David. He is the best.
He is so full of life.
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Place they have to have the house already purchased and
get faked.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Now we fake it, and that kind of what Matt
is leading us to believe.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
What did he say again. I got once Diane started
clapping and throwing her arms in the air. I didn't
hear the rest of the sentence.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
All I know is that we were trying to get
David's attention? Is that what was happening with Diane?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
So I was on?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
He was online on not trying to audition.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wait, so did he win.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Ticket?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
How much do you have to win to be on
that show?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I feel like it's at least a million?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Who he won a million dollars? Well, I mean, who knows.
He could have won a five dollars scratch off and
they're like, well, you won the lottery, that's good enough.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Do you think they're lying about the jackpots?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yes, they're lying about everything. Did you say line one?
Thank you? Kristin? Hi, Eelliet the morning.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
Hey, this is Adam.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
How are you doing Hey, I'm doing great? What is
your tide to these shows?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
So?
Speaker 8 (13:36):
I was a carpenter for four years on a renovation
show like move which one it was? It's the out
door channel is still going on. It's called Renovation Hunters.
You do cabin 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.
(13:58):
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 that you worked on,
Renovation Hunters Hunters, right, is it? Because like it was,
it's pretty niche to be in the cabin world. Yep.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
So definitely sponsors paid for most stuff they came through 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):
well in the front the.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Bill for a lot of it. Oln former home of
the NHL. All right, very good, very good, Thank you sir,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (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 4 (14:55):
That's just a weird part to put in this look
behind and the curtains.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
No, because it looks good. You went in, you took
care of a service member, like it's a great story,
all right, and you know, listen, don't makebe pull out
the old Casey Kasum clip. But you know, at some
point they were like, Okay, we've had three families fighting.
We need a feel good get me, get me a
(15:24):
service member who blew up a leg. I hate to
be cold like that, but that's how show biz works.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Just hoping that Diane can share their excitement for all
reality TV.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I want to talk to the lottery guy about David.
I love that guy.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
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 4 (16:02):
The episode he was on is called Payday and va.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
A, Diane, there she goes, that's making it to your.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
To do list for TV, and da that list is
I'm intrigued a big deal?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Wait is he?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Is he right under Breaking Bad now?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hi Elliott the Morning, Yeah, this's man. Yeah, Hi, who's that?
Speaker 5 (16:33):
This is Drew from Richmond.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Hey, Drew, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So October of twenty twenty three, I took.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Part in a show called House of What, House of What?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
House of What? Is that the name of it? Yes?
Oh okay, yeah, And.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
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
earth sheltered home.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
So they came in and were there all day for
about twelve hours, filmed everything in the house and it
was like about an hour of an interview.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And it aired last April. 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 5 (17:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (17:34):
No, they were awesome. I mean everybody thought it was
really cool to take part in and come inside of it.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
And so it was let's see, I guess the.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
Producer woman was there and then her camera crew, which
included total.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
About five people plus myself there all day.
Speaker 8 (17:56):
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 a wreck.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
But every other room we went into the house and
talked about different features in it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But that's cool, that's cool, you know for you is
the entire home is underground?
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Is hurting grass?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
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. Yeah, And then I got
to stand around for eighteen hours going, no, Jackie, I
don't think that's a good No, No jack am I
saying it wrong? No Jackie, No, no Jackie like that.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I don't like hearing half all 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
(19:00):
level of nitpicking on what clearly is the house that
they have.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah. I don't care what you're doing that house. I
don't know, bad house? You know, paint the whole thing
yellow mine three.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
As Jimmy writes, it's usually the house where they comment,
ew this mud room wall color isn't the vibe? I want?
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Hello?
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Hi? Is this me?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah? Hi? Who's this? Hi?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Ellien?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Is?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I mean? How are you?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Eileen up in New York?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
How are you?
Speaker 9 (19:37):
I'm good. I'm good with you, guys.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
I listen of course every morning.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (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 1 (19:48):
Wait a minute, what was I do? But what was
the name of the show, George to the Rescue? Channel four?
Speaker 9 (19:55):
It was Channel NBC.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, yeah, Channel four is also New York. Oh, by
the way, I'm not getting the same excitement out of
Diane for George.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Well, am I am?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
I right?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Is that show on like really really early in the morning. Yes, okay,
like before like the four o'clock news.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Right, No, it's I think it's a nine o'clock show,
and then I think it repeats again at seven o'clock
on a Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's just really quick on Saturday night. No, but Diane,
you got to remember he's watching Channel four is NBC
in New York, right, Yeah, and that's going to be
different than Channel four here, and I.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Believe it's I believe it's on four here, and I
feel like I've seen it at like three in the morning.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Yeah, they definitely short at random times.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Hey, so wait a minute, what were you? How are
you on the show?
Speaker 8 (20:45):
A long story short?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
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, the kicked her at her
rehabit early and she had to come and stay with
(21:08):
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 5 (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
repay it. So she wrote a random email the 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
(22:04):
thing passing.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
The one the boom, yeah, the big boom boom.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Yeah, I'm like, what the hell is this? And I
didn't open the door. I looked, I peeked out, and
I seen them stand in there, and I ran ran
into the kitchen like a car. My wife, he said,
you'd better deal with this stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
So so let me ask you this. Did it end
up like? Did it end up being a good thing?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Though?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (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 6 (22:50):
I was up there.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
You go there you go, yeah, you know what, Yeah,
you could take the rams out, just put the TV
in We'll be good to go.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, all.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right, dude, Hey, well listen, I appreciate the phone call.
Give Eileen a hug for me. She's the best. You
got it, my friend. Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (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 2 (23:23):
Popp them through and it's like, oh, that's a nice story.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Hi, Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Hey, you guys have going good?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Hey, real quick, what can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (23:35):
Man, So I'm not gonna 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 next two weeks,
may or may not, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
To 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.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
And then I got yes, 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 1 (24:27):
Line six, I gotta go quick.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Hi Elliot in the morning, Haley hatt sennif for young.
I was on house Hunters. How are you wait?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You were on house Hunters.
Speaker 7 (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, oh no.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You did Banham in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Wait a minute, dad, wait a minute, you get a
video and kicks her.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It was.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
It was definitely heartfelt, like the couple was sweet, but
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, which is great.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Hey, wait, so so a couple of things. Number one,
how did they how like how did they How did
they find you? They found me.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Their producer used to be the producer of the Kardashians,
which is fascinating to ask him about. And AKTV found Yeah,
I forgot his name.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I have this car.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I'll find it for you later.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
But they found me or my house. It was my
listing by sneed Homes, 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 upper instead.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Oh yeah, damn it. But I'd love that they would
be like, hey, bicker, like call her like hey, cancer
face or whatever, like that's rough.
Speaker 7 (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, you shows Yeah no, the reading about that
man the sausage machine is unreal.
Speaker 3 (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 anything.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Else you want to just criticize Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
No, no, I'm not saying no.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But it's it's it's just a task, Like it's fun
to go look at different houses.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You know, it's funny. I heard Jennifer over talking or
talking with a fellow realtor and goes, oh god, could
you imagine being a disc jockey.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It is a TV show. They're trying to get eyes
on it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, sure, I get that.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That's that's no shade to Jennifer whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Cancer lady.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
Yeah, no, you're right Diana 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.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
It's not for TV.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
You're absolutely right, all right, Jennifer
I'm not a big like house person like me. Like
the TV shows like HG TV. Yeah, Like I've never
seen Doctor House the No. 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
(00:21):
Hunters mm, never never seen an episode of it. Love
it or list It? Yeah, you know all of these.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I've watched a lot of those shows.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Have you really? What are the like? What is what
is the two famous people, the Gaineses.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
They're not Joanna Chip and Joanna. Yeah, I don't know,
they're not.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
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. And then like, what is
the one that Scott was really into? Was it something Sunset?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
No, he wasn't into it selling Sunset.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Isn't that different?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, that's that's that's like real estate.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah, but is it people who are looking for houses?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, and but you see all these fabulous like you
know that's an.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Unfair one, but but is it? Are there real estate
ones where it's people who are looking to buy a house,
like they're they're or is that what house Hunters is?
I don't know. I've never seen house Hunts.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
That's house Hunters.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, I've never seen any of them. I have no Oh,
that's right, Scott like Shaws of Sunset, the he did not.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
He liked below Deck, below Deck.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
He was big into he was big in too. 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? No, like whether it's.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
What figure, it's like they're casting, right, that's exactly it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I had no idea. I don't know where I thought
that I had. 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. But I
(02:07):
had no idea how they found those people.
Speaker 4 (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, anybody who's ever been featured
on one of those shows?
Speaker 4 (02:32):
That'd be hard but great. 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 the sausages made.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
You found Southie the in Paris, Thank you. I was
an international house Hunters the.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
House Hunters International.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah a j John, Oh hold hi Joe. The either
somebody that's been on one of those shows or somebody
that's applied to be on one of those shows.
Speaker 4 (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 the amount.
Excuse me?
Speaker 4 (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 of.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That was was one of my favorite ones.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Now what is that? What is the show? David is?
Well it's on one second? Okay, CHRISTI will you do
me a favor? 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. Whatever. Eight six six to Elliott eight
(03:53):
six six two three five five four six eight. I'm sorry,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (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.
It's always like the couple in the house. One of
them hates it, wants to move, one of them loves it,
(04:16):
thinks it just needs a little jung up, right, and
then Hillary's 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, whereas David the realtor takes them out and
shows them all these fabulous houses that are in their
budget range.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And then at the end of the show, are you
going to love it or are you going to list it?
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 2 (04:56):
May say that again, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
If you apply for a house hunter where you're out
looking to purchase a house.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah, not specifically house hunters, correct, Okay, a.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
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, producers often
(05:26):
create quote fake house hunt built around a purchase that
has already happened. Wow, so you go. You will be
asked to sign an NDA.
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The schools we need, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Right?
Speaker 2 (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 2 (05:56):
Sign an NBA, which means they can't.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I also don't know how long it last.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Did it never expire? That's what's been on forever?
Speaker 3 (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. That's like
we ain't going through legal Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
House Hunters premiered in ninety nine. No way, there have
been twenty four hundred episodes. Are you serious?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh my god?
Speaker 4 (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 4 (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
charged 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 play. So were these shows total scams?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
It sounds like it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I wonder if that's why Hillary left.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I love her.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
She was the original bride By the way, in Rocky Horror,
Hillary Farr was wait in the Rocky Horror Picture show
the Bride. Why can't I picture.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Her there's shorter, darkest hair.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
No, because in my head all I'm seeing you're thinking
of Susan, Saranda, Susan and nipple coming out of her pajamas.
Speaker 2 (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, Oh, yeah,
of course.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I mean they are making a show or or or what.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It's a renovation because there's been a life changing event,
i e. Handicap. Yeah, they love those. They love those.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Really.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, we got to renovate. We got to put in
ramps and all kinds of stuff. They love that. Like
that is like you put that on your application, top
of the list. Yeah, they love that. Now not too many.
It's good to have. It's good to have a ramp,
but it's also good to have drama. Where am I going?
Line one? Hi Ellie in the morning?
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Yeah this mean yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Who's this?
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Hey? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
This is Kevin.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
So me and my wife bought it home about a
year and a half ago, and during the process, our
realator 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
(08:46):
to you know, be on the shuttle. 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. Were 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 6 (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 1 (09:16):
Twelve bucks an hour, Yeah it was.
Speaker 6 (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 it within you know, four days
for twelve bucks an hour.
Speaker 5 (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 6 (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):
long or you know, what what have you? And yeah,
it was it was not. It's not as dreamy as
you think it would be. Hey, and you know, it
sounded great. They did offer, though, to pay for our
like a month of our rent, and then our realtory
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 6 (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 and being able to you know, just.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Play a lot.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Why Like, like, no real estate agent has ever said
to me we should put you on TV. 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,
(11:19):
I'm gonna call house Hunters. You know who needs to
be on TV? This guy?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
You?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, that has never happened. All right, very good, very good,
Thank you sir.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yes, Tom, do you have anything on Living Alaska? No,
I've never heard of the show.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Now, also keep mind your renovation does need to fall
in line with their shooting schedule.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Thank you, Chris, 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 1 (11:56):
Yeah, I got nothing on Living Alaska.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
And Matt writes, I was on my lottery dream home
and can confirm this is one.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I love that show. I love David. He is the best.
He is so full of life.
Speaker 3 (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.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Place they have to have the house already purchased and
get faked.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Now we fake it, and that kind of what Matt
is leading us to believe.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
What did he say again. I got once Diane started
clapping and throwing her arms in the air. I didn't
hear the rest of the sentence.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
All I know is that we were trying to get
David's attention? Is that what was happening with Diane?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
So I was on?
Speaker 4 (12:58):
He was online on not trying to audition.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Wait, so did he win.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Ticket?
Speaker 4 (13:07):
How much do you have to win to be on
that show?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I feel like it's at least a million?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Who he won a million dollars? Well, I mean, who knows.
He could have won a five dollars scratch off and
they're like, well, you won the lottery, that's good enough.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Do you think they're lying about the jackpots?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yes, they're lying about everything. Did you say line one?
Thank you? Kristin? Hi, Eelliet the morning.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
Hey, this is Adam.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
How are you doing Hey, I'm doing great? What is
your tide to these shows?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
So?
Speaker 8 (13:36):
I was a carpenter for four years on a renovation
show like move which one it was? It's the out
door channel is still going on. It's called Renovation Hunters.
You do cabin 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.
(13:58):
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 that you worked on,
Renovation Hunters Hunters, right, is it? Because like it was,
it's pretty niche to be in the cabin world. Yep.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
So definitely sponsors paid for most stuff they came through 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):
well in the front the.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Bill for a lot of it. Oln former home of
the NHL. All right, very good, very good, Thank you sir,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (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 4 (14:55):
That's just a weird part to put in this look
behind and the curtains.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
No, because it looks good. You went in, you took
care of a service member, like it's a great story,
all right, and you know, listen, don't makebe pull out
the old Casey Kasum clip. But you know, at some
point they were like, Okay, we've had three families fighting.
We need a feel good get me, get me a
(15:24):
service member who blew up a leg. I hate to
be cold like that, but that's how show biz works.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Just hoping that Diane can share their excitement for all
reality TV.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I want to talk to the lottery guy about David.
I love that guy.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
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 4 (16:02):
The episode he was on is called Payday and va.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
A, Diane, there she goes, that's making it to your.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
To do list for TV, and da that list is
I'm intrigued a big deal?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Wait is he?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Is he right under Breaking Bad now?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hi Elliott the Morning, Yeah, this's man. Yeah, Hi, who's that?
Speaker 5 (16:33):
This is Drew from Richmond.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Hey, Drew, what can I do for you?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
So October of twenty twenty three, I took.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Part in a show called House of What, House of What?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
House of What? Is that the name of it? Yes?
Oh okay, yeah, And.
Speaker 9 (16:52):
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
earth sheltered home.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
So they came in and were there all day for
about twelve hours, filmed everything in the house and it
was like about an hour of an interview.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And it aired last April. 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 5 (17:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (17:34):
No, they were awesome. I mean everybody thought it was
really cool to take part in and come inside of it.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
And so it was let's see, I guess the.
Speaker 8 (17:44):
Producer woman was there and then her camera crew, which
included total.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
About five people plus myself there all day.
Speaker 8 (17:56):
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 a wreck.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
But every other room we went into the house and
talked about different features in it.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But that's cool, that's cool, you know for you is
the entire home is underground?
Speaker 8 (18:17):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Is hurting grass?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Right?
Speaker 5 (18:20):
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. Yeah, And then I got
to stand around for eighteen hours going, no, Jackie, I
don't think that's a good No, No jack am I
saying it wrong? No Jackie, No, no Jackie like that.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I don't like hearing half all 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
(19:00):
level of nitpicking on what clearly is the house that
they have.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah. I don't care what you're doing that house. I
don't know, bad house? You know, paint the whole thing
yellow mine three.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
As Jimmy writes, it's usually the house where they comment,
ew this mud room wall color isn't the vibe? I want?
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Hello?
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Hi? Is this me?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Yeah? Hi? Who's this? Hi?
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Ellien?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Is?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I mean? How are you?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Eileen up in New York?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
How are you?
Speaker 9 (19:37):
I'm good. I'm good with you, guys.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
I listen of course every morning.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (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 1 (19:48):
Wait a minute, what was I do? But what was
the name of the show, George to the Rescue? Channel four?
Speaker 9 (19:55):
It was Channel NBC.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, yeah, Channel four is also New York. Oh, by
the way, I'm not getting the same excitement out of
Diane for George.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Well, am I am?
Speaker 5 (20:04):
I right?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Is that show on like really really early in the morning. Yes, okay,
like before like the four o'clock news.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Right, No, it's I think it's a nine o'clock show,
and then I think it repeats again at seven o'clock
on a Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's just really quick on Saturday night. No, but Diane,
you got to remember he's watching Channel four is NBC
in New York, right, Yeah, and that's going to be
different than Channel four here, and I.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Believe it's I believe it's on four here, and I
feel like I've seen it at like three in the morning.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Yeah, they definitely short at random times.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Hey, so wait a minute, what were you? How are
you on the show?
Speaker 8 (20:45):
A long story short?
Speaker 5 (20:47):
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, the kicked her at her
rehabit early and she had to come and stay with
(21:08):
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 5 (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
repay it. So she wrote a random email the 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
(22:04):
thing passing.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
The one the boom, yeah, the big boom boom.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Yeah, I'm like, what the hell is this? And I
didn't open the door. I looked, I peeked out, and
I seen them stand in there, and I ran ran
into the kitchen like a car. My wife, he said,
you'd better deal with this stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
So so let me ask you this. Did it end
up like? Did it end up being a good thing?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Though?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (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 6 (22:50):
I was up there.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
You go there you go, yeah, you know what, Yeah,
you could take the rams out, just put the TV
in We'll be good to go.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, all.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Right, dude, Hey, well listen, I appreciate the phone call.
Give Eileen a hug for me. She's the best. You
got it, my friend. Thank you, sir, Thank you.
Speaker 4 (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 2 (23:23):
Popp them through and it's like, oh, that's a nice story.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Hi, Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Hey, you guys have going good?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Hey, real quick, what can I do for you?
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (23:35):
Man, So I'm not gonna 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 next two weeks,
may or may not, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
To 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.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
And then I got yes, 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 1 (24:27):
Line six, I gotta go quick.
Speaker 7 (24:29):
Hi Elliot in the morning, Haley hatt sennif for young.
I was on house Hunters. How are you wait?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You were on house Hunters.
Speaker 7 (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, oh no.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You did Banham in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
Wait a minute, dad, wait a minute, you get a
video and kicks her.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
It was.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
It was definitely heartfelt, like the couple was sweet, but
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, which is great.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Hey, wait, so so a couple of things. Number one,
how did they how like how did they How did
they find you? They found me.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Their producer used to be the producer of the Kardashians,
which is fascinating to ask him about. And AKTV found Yeah,
I forgot his name.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I have this car.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I'll find it for you later.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
But they found me or my house. It was my
listing by sneed Homes, 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 upper instead.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Oh yeah, damn it. But I'd love that they would
be like, hey, bicker, like call her like hey, cancer
face or whatever, like that's rough.
Speaker 7 (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, you shows Yeah no, the reading about that
man the sausage machine is unreal.
Speaker 3 (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 anything.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Else you want to just criticize Jennifer.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
No, no, I'm not saying no.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
But it's it's it's just a task, Like it's fun
to go look at different houses.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You know, it's funny. I heard Jennifer over talking or
talking with a fellow realtor and goes, oh god, could
you imagine being a disc jockey.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It is a TV show. They're trying to get eyes
on it.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah, sure, I get that.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yes, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
That's that's no shade to Jennifer whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Cancer lady.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
Yeah, no, you're right Diana 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.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
It's not for TV.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
You're absolutely right, all right, Jennifer
