Speaker 1: A couple of things.
Speaker 2: Just when you think reality TV has kind of played
Speaker 2: itself out and it's over and there's not a whole
Speaker 2: lot of interest, they come up with a new show
Speaker 2: that has caught my interest and there's a couple of
Speaker 2: Austin Knights that are competing in it. Before we tell
Speaker 2: you what that is, boy has the I've been completely
Speaker 2: bombarded lately with Love Island.
Speaker 1: It's everywhere. Have you familiar with this show? JB.
Speaker 3: I haven't watched it, but I can probably kind of guess.
Speaker 3: It's just a dating show on an island isolated. They
Speaker 3: get them, give them a lot of booze, and the
Speaker 3: girls start fighting with each other and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it's a typical dating show. Right.
Speaker 2: Here's the difference is it's it airs the next day
Speaker 2: like what aired last it's every day.
Speaker 3: Oh, because those other dating shows they shoot forever a
Speaker 3: week of footage and edited into whatever they want.
Speaker 2: Exactly like so the one that you're watching tonight just
Speaker 2: happened in Fiji, I think, like the night from the
Speaker 2: day before, so and it's every single night anyway.
Speaker 1: A lot of twenty something.
Speaker 2: Year old girls and teen girls are really going nuts
Speaker 2: over the show. So anyway, throw that out there, so
Speaker 2: I at least sounded halfway hip. But this other show
Speaker 2: that's got some Austin night tennant Tricia's going to tellus about.
Speaker 1: It's called Destination X. Yes, Destination X.
Speaker 4: And the only reason I started watching it was because
Speaker 4: it's hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. And for anybody out
Speaker 4: there who watched The Walking Dead, it's Nagan from The
Speaker 4: Walking Dead and I am completely in love with him.
Speaker 4: So he's the host, he's one of the executive producers.
Speaker 4: And it is a series where you have contestants are
Speaker 4: dropped into places where they have no idea where they
Speaker 4: are in the world. It could be anywhere in the world.
Speaker 4: And in order to when they give you clues and
Speaker 4: you have to figure out the clues and figure out
Speaker 4: where you are, and ten h contestant whoever, at the
Speaker 4: very end of the episode, after they've been given all
Speaker 4: the clues and all the little contests and races, they
Speaker 4: mark on a map and electronic map where they think
Speaker 4: they are, and then whoever has guessed farthest from the
Speaker 4: actual location is the contestant that goes home that week.
Speaker 1: What's weird about this?
Speaker 4: Sorry Sandy, is three of the ten contestants are from Austin.
Speaker 1: Really, so they.
Speaker 2: Could drop you off on the side of a mountain, yes,
Speaker 2: and then you've got to figure out where you are
Speaker 2: in the world. Am I Are you in the Swiss Alps?
Speaker 2: Are you in the Rocky mountains?
Speaker 1: You know? Like we got to figure out where you
Speaker 1: are and you earn clues, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you have little challenges like they did drop
Speaker 4: them off on the side of a mountain one time,
Speaker 4: and they had these piles of snow and they had
Speaker 4: to dig down in the snow get certain clues, figure
Speaker 4: them out. The more clues you get, then the more
Speaker 4: information you get about where you are. And it's all
Speaker 4: about it's the same kind of big brother stuff where
Speaker 4: you can have strategy with other contestants. They travel all
Speaker 4: around the world on this giant bus that the windows
Speaker 4: are blacked out, and then Nagan Jeffrey Dean Morgan pops
Speaker 4: in every once in a while.
Speaker 1: It's so cool. Sandy thinks he dominates. I think it's
Speaker 1: interesting that there's three Austin nites. Yeah on there.
Speaker 3: That's a lot because in general we're kind of soft
Speaker 3: with survival type things. Okay, you take a twenty year
Speaker 3: old guy from Austin or a twenty year old guy
Speaker 3: from college station.
Speaker 1: Who are you betting on? I'm taking a college station guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty year old woman from Austin or twenty year
Speaker 3: old girl from the Grange?
Speaker 1: Which one you take? The Grange? See where I'm going
Speaker 1: with this? Yeah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: You're right.
Speaker 2: We're soft here, Like, yeah, man, I've always Are there
Speaker 2: just people that pursue the like, we didn't even know
Speaker 2: this show was going on until it was on the television,
Speaker 2: Yet they have a full cast of people. Are there
Speaker 2: just people that scour websites for casting? I think yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and that's that's their jam, that's what they do.
Speaker 4: A couple of the girls are influencers, and so they
Speaker 4: probably absolutely are constantly scanning for casting calls to use
Speaker 4: whatever show they might get on as their launch board.
Speaker 1: It becomes super famous. Yeah, it's it's right up there.
Speaker 3: It's a resume builder now to be have been on
Speaker 3: a reality show, Right, you're like, oh, our next guest,
Speaker 3: you know, our next keynote speaker was You might recognize
Speaker 3: them from The Amazing Race or their podcast or their
Speaker 3: best selling book, which they bought all the copies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here they are. Yeah, they're right.
Speaker 3: Maybe you heard them on Ted Talks San Antonio. There's
Speaker 3: all these checklist things. Now, boy, is there a format in?
Speaker 2: Is there a platform in more need of a reboot
Speaker 2: and a new look than the Ted Talk.
Speaker 1: I guess that they all have the same vibe.
Speaker 3: I mean people at parried it in a parody of
Speaker 3: it and then didn't do it any favors.
Speaker 2: I still like them. We went to one in Austin.
Speaker 2: Do you remember, Nope, you don't.
Speaker 1: We did.
Speaker 2: We went to one and what I remember about it
Speaker 2: JB and it's it's everywhere now was the guy telling us,
Speaker 2: this was probably ten years ago, about the future of
Speaker 2: the air.
Speaker 1: Tag I do remember that.
Speaker 2: He was telling us that you're going to have something
Speaker 2: the size of a quarter that you can put.
Speaker 1: You know, the size of a pencil eraser. Pencil eraser,
Speaker 1: that's what it was.
Speaker 2: That you can put and track anything you own and
Speaker 2: know where it is anywhere on Earth.
Speaker 1: I do remember that. Wow, that's easy, he said. This
Speaker 1: was really interesting. He said.
Speaker 3: One of the reasons we have all this geo tagging
Speaker 3: was during the Clinton era, they relaxed the bandwidth, the
Speaker 3: frequencies that could be used for technology.
Speaker 1: Right now, it's.
Speaker 3: Coming back to me. And then it was he even
Speaker 3: took it a step further. So, say, you have all
Speaker 3: these little eraser tip size almost like stickers. Oh, I'm
Speaker 3: going to put one on my purse. I want to
Speaker 3: put one on my briefcase. I want to put one
Speaker 3: on my suit case wherever my dog. Yeah, you put
Speaker 3: it on all your things and it not only would
Speaker 3: track them. And he was saying, how if we open
Speaker 3: up the band with more, you would know if it's
Speaker 3: upstairs or downstairs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's crazy.
Speaker 3: Right, he goes, I would tell you within feet of
Speaker 3: how up or down Yeah.
Speaker 2: I bet that dude is rich. Right now, after his
Speaker 2: Ted talk, I'm just saying, because he was right.
Speaker 1: That was ten years ago. Now, how many air text you.
Speaker 3: Jb Oh my gosh, I've got them on my dogs,
Speaker 3: I've got them in you know, I think the wallet
Speaker 3: bikes A couple of bikes my wallet has you know
Speaker 3: my wallet hasn't eating Yeah, yeah, tons of them.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: So well, if you want to check out that show,
Speaker 2: I've not watched it yet, Destination.
Speaker 1: Actually it looks pretty good.
Speaker 2: I think i'd be really really good at it, although
Speaker 2: you kind of threw me with having to I'm not
Speaker 2: good at figuring out clues. I'm not figuring things out
Speaker 2: when people explain it to me.
Speaker 4: So it's clues like they give you a ship to
Speaker 4: figure out, like riddles and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Is it a partner team or I mean it can be.
Speaker 1: It depends on. Sometimes you're putting teams.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you decide who you're going to pair up with,
Speaker 4: you know, the whole alliance kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Maybe Love Island's better for me, make me so, I
Speaker 1: think you've aged out of Love Island.
