I was told by someone that you go to Minneapolis because it's a good TV market. So literally, I packed up my Dodge Neon in October of 90 and I'm not kidding and drove to Minneapolis and moved here and started a life. And I looked up in the newspaper. Well, I went to for a jog on my first day here and I went jogging and I lived right by the station. so i looked in the newspaper and that's back when you looked in the newspaper for jobs and they were looking for an overnight yeah right i know kids are like what but you did you looked for jobs and anyway i looked in the newspaper and this station uh was looking for an overnight dispatcher from midnight to 8 a.m and a dispatcher for the news department you just listen to police scanners and when there's crime oh you like report on it no you call the reporter in and you go hey uh frederica uh which was actually a reporter that i worked with frederica freiberg i go frederica there's uh you know there's a zebra on the loose uh come report on it or whatever i would hear on the scanners anyway i paid my dues i worked midnight to 8 a.m for about six yeah it was brutal but i but guys i was so Aaron Schwabs heard me tell this a thousand times i was so grateful i loved i grew up on my favorite show is a show called Dallas and Knots Landing and that was on CBS and i was so obsessed with CBS and i was a kid that loved television and even though i loved johnny and i loved mb i was obsessed with CBS so even though i was the lowest of the low of the low at this tv station the fact that my paycheck had the CBS eye on it you would have thought you would have thought i was the president of the united states i was so excited i was so grateful i really was i remember getting that first check for like 30 dollars and and calling my friends at home going i got a check and the CBS eye is on it and it just meant so much well this name plate was on my first desk in my first job on on television and i just found it and this was back in the day when tv stations could afford fancy things like this yeah yeah yeah yeah not anymore anyway so that's what this is so you'll see it on the desk and just know that's uh uh part of my history of of television here and it just means a lot to me and uh and if i ever do forget my name i'll just go oh there it is yeah there we go make it easy for you there's my name yeah so that's what that is smart that you thought to keep things like that because i feel like so many of us probably have something and it's just like we didn't even think to keep it so then it's just it's yeah i don't think i was supposed to take this oh yeah yeah because the plate you can take this plate off and put a new employee oh right i think i stole this from CBS Yes, I did. I think, yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Too late. Come after me, Allisons. Come after me. We're going to take a break. The hot dish when we return. Back in a moment. Dishes are coming up next.

Then, the Thrifty Traveler team is here with everything you need to know about holiday travel deals and they're going to try to answer the question: are high airline ticket prices here to stay that and more when the Jason Show continues i gotta say a lot happened in that commercial break um and the first thing is i want to acknowledge there's a lovely woman in the audience from Alaska for heaven's sake breast she is a breast cancer survivor and thriver and warrior right there that's right Palmer Alaska to Duluth that's right uh this is her first time on tv she's going to a wild game and uh and that is uh say hi to Shelly everybody that's Shelly and uh we got a coven of witches here too that's right yeah yeah we got them too i'm not upset by that that's great uh yeah and and uh and they all speak in unison that's right i asked them a question and they all said the answer at the same time it kind of freaked me out a little bit but that uh i bet they're fun to party with yeah let's get started everybody it's time for the hot dish here we go the hottest stories and entertainment and we call it the hot dish first up a new take on one of the most talked about movies of the fall even if you haven't seen the documentary you can see everything about Elizabeth Holmes you've probably seen the uncomfortable clips of her being interviewed by the director look at this get what is she Drew Barrymore i mean uh get back separate from each other uh being interviewed by director Nathan Fielder they're way too close and she's way too intense well last night on the Tonight Show Falun put his own spin on the movie with special guest Jamie Lee Curtis be honest do you really want to be on the show tonight of course i do i love talking to you so you're not just here to promote your new show Blue Bloods no i'm engaging with you as a human being why would i deceive you it's real good i uh let me say you know um fallon fallon's ratings in the Tonight Show So, you know, it was constantly getting beat by Colbert and sometimes Kimmel. Jimmy Falun, I just read in Variety, is on the upswing. Oh, good. And I think it's because they've retooled the show a little bit, and Jimmy is doing more bits like that, like pre-taped bits. Well, and he should. I mean, that's what he's good at. He looks like Nathan, too, in that. That was very good. Okay, and I got to say, my friend, you've seen it. But Colleen saw it from my radio show, and now my executive producer and friend, Holly Roberts, from the radio show has seen it. And they are both yelling at me to go see this movie. You're so into pop culture, I don't even understand how you haven't gone to see it yet. Tennis elbow. I'm very, I just, yeah, I'm very, yeah. Is it preventing you from getting the popcorn intake? What's happening? I know, yeah, right? Okay. Curtis, by the way, Jamie Lee's out promoting her new sitcom on NBC called Newlyweds. And of course, she talked about her classic movie, Halloween, as well. Because, hello, it's Halloween time. And she revealed something about the movie that she just learned. Watch this. The song that he wrote in like a day, he did the entire score on a synclavier or some sort of synthesizer, was something called 5/4. Okay, I don't know what it is, but he learned it on bongos. 5/4 meter, like it would be. wait wait wait can we hear the Halloween movie theme that was my my first ringtone was that no no i'm serious that would have been great but remember when we could get ringtone oh yeah yeah remember that uh and get this some of you knew this the screen you know she was kids out there jamie lee curtis in the 80s was referred to as the screen queen uh jamie lee actually hates scary movies she hates scary movies i'm gonna guess a lot of people who's actually star in them do not enjoy them halloween is my all-time favorite scary movie that and the exorcist yeah really oh i love i think the original to this day i think the original halloween is just frightening okay uh low budget uh not any fancy effects it i i rewatched it most halloweens scares me to death still to this day i haven't seen it since i was a child i need to re-watch it as an adult you should yeah uh next back to where it all started jennifer lawrence just confirmed that she's returning as katniss everdeen in the new movie the hunger games sunrise on the reaping um the movie is a prequel to the first movie so i i it's just not clear how she's gonna show up wouldn't she be a kid i don't know it opens november 20th and it's already getting good reviews i i didn't read the books i watched all the movies i liked them i don't know how she could be in there unless at the end or something there's a flash forward kind of thing or maybe throughout there's a flash forward i don't know um i tried so hard to be in these because everyone was so obsessed with them so i read the first one i went and saw the movie and i was like all right i like jennifer lawrence and then i tried to watch a second i was like this is not it for me i they i feel like the popularity of hunger games and twilight were around the same time and your girl was a twihard okay i'm more of a twilight i know a lot of people boo that and i respect it so it's it's just not my thing katniss everdeen my french bulldog he is like a little fat little sausage um i call him Fatness Everdeen that's what i go yeah come here little Fatness Everdeen jennifer confirmed the news on the latest call her Daddy podcast and during the interview she also talked about how she's different from her husband when it comes to canceling plans. If he wants to get out of something he just says like hey can't tonight you know goodbye like I can't even like but he's direct and I'm just like I broke my foot on a piece of glass we're rushing to the hospital there's a tornado in this city for the first time in decades like it's just always so long and dramatic because I need to make it believable but now I've gotten into a new place in my life where I just don't make plans I just say no to absolutely everything and I haven't seen anyone in my life for years I get it it's a great idea yes Lauren says her favorite thing to do when plans fall through is just to sit with her husband in silence while they both scroll with their on their phones yeah duh that's an honest answer. That's a very honest answer. There is nothing better than when you make plans audience and they cancel and then you don't have to, you can stay in your soft pants and you just, yeah, you don't have to brush your hair or anything. It's so good. Yeah. Jen also revealed the biggest misconception about her and the paparazzi. You know, the number one thing that I will read sometimes when I'm scrolling through comments and I see that people say this about other celebrities to, and it really drives me crazy, is when people think that celebrities have called and staged paparazzi pictures. Let's talk about this. It is so infuriating, because I'm like, what's more likely? Let's play this out. What is more likely? That I live in the same building every day of my life, and they know where that is? Or, before I leave the house, I'm like, hold on, I have mismatching socks and a messy bun. And I have to call this guy. I don't know how to drop a pin. Who would I call? You know what, Jen, and I'm gonna help you out here. And it doesn't help my career. No. No. I mean, a lower level celebrity than Jennifer Lawrence absolutely calls the paparazzi. But yeah, I do agree that Jennifer Lawrence probably isn't. Yeah, Jeff, what did you say she also admitted? What did she reveal? You just told me, I know, oh My god, we're both old. You literally just told me we both forgot. Take us to the hospital now, yeah, oh she also said that she fights with strangers on the internet like under like a different like a yeah under a different name, okay gotcha, I've never done that Well, not under a fake Instagram, just under your own. I don't have a fake Instagram, I will tell you I have a fake email address that I sometimes, yeah, I will sometimes send an email. Sometimes. Good for you. Yeah. I'll be like, boop, boop, boop, send. Good for you. But yeah, the fake account, I don't do that. I'm not going to waste my time on that. I'll just fight with them here on the show. You know what I mean? Yeah. And I respect that. Right. I just did yesterday. Yeah. Anyway, yeah. You should get your own show. It's a lot of fun. Anyway, let's talk TV. Next up, only one day to go until the return of one of my all-time favorite TV characters. Season 2 of Dexter Resurrection premieres Friday on Paramount Plus with Showtime. It's the third series in the Dexter franchise. And this month, friends, actually marks 20 years since the first Dexter made its debut. Yeah, on Showtime, Michael C. Hall and the cast and creators talk to Entertainment Weekly about how the show has lasted so long. Michael says he didn't want to do the show at first after just finishing the HBO hit Six Feet Under, but changed his mind after reading the script. He also admits the first ending of the show was bad. The first series finale, oh, don't get me started. And it's part of the reason that they brought the show back. I loved Dexter, the original. You hear me say it on the show. I think the first four seasons are some of the best television in the last 25 years. So good. But after that, and that series finale was a flaming turd. I don't even remember it. I don't even remember it. It's been so long. It's horrible. Yeah, but I did. I mean, but I love the resurrection. This is just season two, right? It's just season two. Yeah, so first season was very good. I was like, oh, we were immediately back in. Back in. well and that's because the original showrunner Clyde Phillips is back okay he left not to get too nerdy but the creator left the show after season four and you could tell it went right down the crapper tell that's like what happened in Gilmore Girls when the like creators left the show you immediately noticed because everything changed in the worst way really because I've never watched Gilmore Girls that's the truth it happened yeah there was like a season everyone's like we don't we don't associate with this season we act like it didn't exist because it just didn't fit the rest of the show well you know and Michael C. Hall is funny because he was in one of the worst finales dexter but he was also in what i consider the best series finale of any television show and that's his show Six Feet Under we had a more uh thank you jeff for clapping at that yeah we had a mortician on our radio show this week and she said that Six Feet Under is one of the most like accurate like portrayals of what morticians actually do in television Falun may i ask you something yeah yeah um i have a radio show too um it actually competes against you um Can I ask why you had a mortician on your show? Sure you can. Okay. so a week of Halloween but also we do a segment called No Dumb Questions where we have an expert on where you have like a ton of questions for someone because it's like how did you become a mortician and why and like does a body actually move when you're doing stuff at the end has you ever experienced a ghost what happens with their eyes you know you have like lots of these weird questions like so many weird questions so we had her on and it just called it no dumb questions it was so interesting I am totally stealing that idea yeah it was really interesting yeah she was good her name was Lily I promise I'll air my version like the day after you air your version there we go that's right you can listen to Falun's radio show wherever you get your podcast search for Falun Colton And Jenny and my radio show, you know, listen to hers first, the Jason Matheson Show with Colleen Lindstrom. We'll be right back. Back in a moment. She was good. That's a great idea. Yeah, she was fun. Stand up to Trump. Well, you could call it the year of the three-hour movie. First, we have The Odyssey. That was a huge hit this past summer, despite being two hours and 53 minutes. That one earned nearly $2 billion. And the documentary that I already mentioned, You Can See Everything, is about the same length. And it turns out all movies are getting longer. You're not imagining it. Film researcher Stephen Follows looked at more than 36,000 movies dating back to around 1980 and found that the average movie today is at least eight minutes longer. some directors say fans are now expecting longer run times to make it worth the effort of leaving their house getting out of their soft pants and uh yeah um they're wrong okay no they're wrong that's interesting because in music it's gone the exact opposite songs have gotten dramatically shorter so that's interesting but you don't have to leave your house to listen to a song so i do you like a longer movie if it's something i really want to see i accept it but i usually still like you they could have trimmed 15 to 30 minutes out of that you know so that's what i mean i on average when i think a movie is too long i always say they could have trimmed 10 to 15 and here they are making movies eight minutes longer stop it yeah i don't i don't like when it feels like they rushed a movie to fit it in no but yeah i mean you know what they could trim the previews yeah that's right yeah they could there's a half hour of previews and then the movie and if the movie's clocking in at two and then you got a half hour i mean you know and i've chugged through a large diet coke at that point and i'm telling you right now yeah i'm hitting the bathroom twice during a three-hour movie well and colleen was telling me with you can see everything she goes you can't pee i did and then i was like and i missed an important part of my See, that's what she said. She goes, Jason, you can't go to the bathroom. I'm like, she was, I think you have to wear a diaper or something. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Highly recommend a diaper. Great. I'll, I'll, that'll be wonderful. Yeah. Well, that's the dish next. I mentioned last night, it was the start of season two of my gay bowling league. My team, that's right. Our team, cause producer Bjorn is on my team. Our team is called the Bold and the Beautiful trademarked. trademarked uh i took some time last night to get to know our new team watch this so Bj how do you think the season premiere is going so far you know we had a really strong start second game but we're making some progress you did you get a strike i got a couple strikes always our weakest yes this is Morgan Morgan and two of the bold of your performance a strike your debut is much better than i think so two spares and a strike in the first game which pulled that well season two you know i think we might for an Emmy we're assuming this year No Emmys for the bowling yeah so Colin was significantly better or just a little bit better than you because you were you were curious well everything you said you how dare you how dare you who pulls a 140 in their first game he does and again he comes from a long lineage uh my mother-in-law was a pool hustler and a bowler uh so he does that yeah now i now i came from a long line of bingo players uh so i could i i could whip his butt my mom played 40 44 cards at one time so that's right that was like under the eye and then again my mom would have me this was back in the 70s and 80s when they didn't care my mom would have me in a bassinet if this was her bingo table i'm here in the bassinet and she's uh she has a dobber in one hand she has a cigarette in another and she's dobbing and then rocking me you know like that you know that was dark but yeah uh Colin uh Colin got a 140 i was um i think i got a 126 oh that was yeah you're right there and then little and And then Beatrice B, Bjorn had a fabulous game, too. What was your score? 126. Nice job, Bjorn. Yeah, so we did pretty good. That's really good. I know we have to go because, Drifted Traveler, I am now obsessed. I want to get a custom bowling ball. It's time. It's your second season. It is time. I want to get a little ball, a little ball shiner. I want a little, so I got to get a, I want a Star Wars ball. And I got, but I don't know how you drill the fingers in. i have so many questions but i just if you want to sponsor the show call the sales department we'll be right back with the Thrifty Traveler back in a moment sponsor the bowling league you get a bowling league sponsor on your shirt i do yes we're going to enjoy this episode look look here's the deal uh our show is ridiculous i mean hello we just talked about gay bowling for six minutes but sometimes uh we give you news you can use and this is one of those days if you've been trying to book a flight recently you know the sticker shock is real airfares have spiked and that's making many people re-evaluate their holiday travel here with more give it up for the host of the wildly popular Thrifty Traveler podcast Kyle Potter and Gunner Olson everyone okay boys how you doing we're here you can be a little more excited kyle Do you want us to be excited about what you just said about airfare? No, no, just I want you to be excited for being here. Okay, let's just cut it right. Let's just get right to it. I want both of your takes on this. We're all wondering this. And I know you don't have crystal, you know, you're not psychics. You're not Latoya Jackson. But here we go. These higher flight prices, like, let me give you an example. I just tried to book freaking Orlando. Hello, Orlando viewers. a thousand dollars for basic for basic in steerage i'm back by the bathrooms are these flight prices here to stay your your thought for now yeah this is the new normal and i don't think it's going to change anytime soon i mean the elephant in the room is what we're all seeing at gas pumps across the country across the state wherever you are and that is affecting airlines i think the bigger thing is that this is what airlines have wanted to do like forever they want nothing more than to charge us all the highest prices possible and the combination of higher fuel prices and the lack of competition from airlines like Spirit which no longer exists and other budget airlines just gives them more wiggle room to do what they want to do which is charge you a thousand dollars to get down to orlando sitting in the lavatory um thank you Gunner, you looked up in the air when Kyle started talking. Do you have an additional thought on this? Well, I think I could be a little rosier than Kyle on this one. We have a good cop, bad cop thing, so it's good that we're both here. He's right that high airfare is going to be here for now and probably through the holidays. But I think in airfare, there's always more competition down the line. I don't think that we're going to be stuck in this forever. And right now, there are still little things you can do. tweak your trip by one day or take that really early morning flight and you can shave a couple hundred dollars off your flight pretty easily look at him being positive you know what kyle this is this is why we hired him this is why he's here okay but you said this in one of your appearances and i'm so glad that you did when and it's too late it's it's we can't do anything about it now when people were celebrating and laughing at the demise of Spirit Airlines this this what even if you never flew with Spirit Airlines, that wasn't good news and it's not good news. Why? Can you expand on that a little bit more? I mean, there are two things that drive flight prices up and down. Supply and demand. Are there more people trying to travel than there are seats to fill? That is going to drive prices up. If there are fewer people traveling and there are seats open, that's going to drive prices down. But the biggest thing is competition. Competition between airlines, especially like a city here in minneapolis where there's one game in town it is delta they can get away with charging whatever they want because there is not a meaningful alternative and what spirit did for two plus decades is they gave that meaningful alternative where you could fly to phoenix for 96 round trip or less and without that in the market it just means that Delta and American and Southwest and United can charge even more because there isn't that alternative that's cheaper even if you didn't want to take that flight it forced airlines to compete for price Gunner any positive from that we need we need healthy low-cost airlines even if you don't like to fly them having them around is the key to getting cheaper flights on Delta on United and on American it's a sad reality unfortunately that the airlines are consolidating they're merging and getting together and that's just reducing competition so next time you see a really good low-cost carrier airfare maybe try and book it yeah support those those folks uh more with Kyle and Gunner when we return back in a moment everyone more travel talk holiday deals and more when you should book your holiday travel welcome back the Thrifty Traveler the podcast find them wherever you get your podcast for the best the best travel there's uh the the best travel advice I tell the studio audience every time, whenever I meet people, I love to talk travel. I tell everyone the good deals that I get because of the tricks and clues that these guys have taught me over the years. Okay, let's teach someone something because I don't think a lot of the people watching know this. Will you explain the 24-hour flight cancellation rule? Absolutely. After you book a flight, as long as it touches U.S. soil in some way, you have 24 hours to cancel that flight for a full refund. which gives you kind of carte blanche to uh make a decision quickly when you see a really low fare if you do get a deal in your inbox or somewhere you see that low fare you book it right away and then you go ask questions later i go to my boss i ask him for time off i go to my wife yeah he says no i go to my wife and ask her if she wants to come it gives you a little extra time to make decisions after that but book that deal right as you see it because you always have 24 hours to cancel for a full refund no matter what an audience don't i know what you're thinking going oh that Gunner he doesn't know what he's doing no, that there has to be some asterisk there's no ifs ands or buts about it that you get a I've done it, I bought a flight, we'll talk about it, we're taping an additional episode with the guys that'll air next Friday, I know I've told this a couple times, I literally saw a deal that they posted an amazing deal to Europe and I had to buy that ticket before I walked out of the curtain of the show, the open was on, this the theme song was going and I booked it because I knew if something I could, I had 24 hours to ask questions, yeah it's one what all you know that that brings me to something not on the card but I was thinking other than that, what what is another thing that when you guys are out in public and you talk to people what's another trick or a rule that people don't know that they should that can help them, I don't know if it's a trick or a rule but the thing that I try to hammer home with people is that there is really truly only one silver bullet for traveling more for less and it's flexibility and flexibility, you say it all the time on the show, flexibility can be as simple as departing on a Tuesday instead of on a Monday or returning on a Saturday instead of on a Sunday because just those little tweaks can save you, I mean especially over the holidays hundreds of dollars per ticket if you're talking about a long-haul trip abroad you could save thousands of dollars per ticket and then flexibility can be more of not traveling during you know say from July until mid-August or so because that is always when it's most expensive to travel flexibility can be going to places where you're going to find a better deal or using a tool like Google flights Explore where you pull up a map of the country or even the world and you see exactly how cheap it can be in the cheapest places to fly whatever version of flexibility you can add to your travel planning equation that is the key to saving everything else is just kind of extra i'm gonna my next question i'm gonna shoot to positive Polly over here because it'll give you an opportunity you know piggybacking off what we said in the beginning the negative higher flight prices are everywhere and it's going to be here for a little while so let me ask you can you still find good deals though yeah absolutely i mean we find good deals all the time i book good deals all the time and that's because i'm looking for routes like we mentioned before where there's a little competition maybe where i know that flying here from MSP i know that Delta has a competitor on that route that could help keep fares down i'm also you know more more willing than ever to maybe take a connection if it means that flying another airline i can save a couple hundred dollars on my fare but you know especially if you're willing to fly like Kyle said a little flexibly fly midweek tuesday or wednesday you're always going to get the cheaper fare if you try and fly on sunday you're going to pay for it flying on sundays is the worst i avoid it like the plague is sunday is the worst yeah always almost always yeah oh as someone that flies on sunday believe i know well and before we have to take a break another 37,000 feet question about the industry because you guys know so much and you're in it this push because you said something that made me go oh because it seems counterintuitive but the airlines have been twisting their mustache for years waiting for this moment to charge us as much as they can does this go uh does this go lockstep with their desire especially Delta for going after a premium customer are they just are they just forgetting economy travel travelers for the most part yes there's there's still always going to be wins whether it's because of competition or because you're flying with an airline that maybe cares less about that premium customer but all of the emphasis across the entire airline industry right now is chasing those people who are traveling more, who have more disposable income to spend on travel, and maybe most importantly, who have disposable income that they're willing to spend on that airline's credit card, because that is increasingly where they make their money. So it all kind of rounds into this equation of that is what they want. That is their ideal customer. Everybody else is kind of secondary to the airlines right now. You said it on the show, and we'll get to deals. You said it way better than I did. Delta Airlines is basically a credit card company that has some airplanes exactly and and Delta is maybe the poster child of that they're the poster child of that but they are not alone everybody else is in that same boat and again it just means you have to be more flexible in order to find those better deals because like Gunner said they are out there airfare is not a monolith no just because you saw a thousand dollars going down to Orlando later this winter could change a day by a day or two it might be 800 it might be 500 it might be 500 yeah uh or last minute fare up and i always love that you do this off the top of your head you're like the servers that don't write down the order and you scare me but give me give uh give some folks some deals off the top of your head yeah maybe we'll both do too uh we just our team just found this amazing deal to fly Delta One Suites from Minneapolis and across the country really to basically anywhere in Western Europe as well as Marrakesh and Morocco for 97,000 SkyMiles each way that's typically 400, 500,000 SkyMiles each way and then a series of domestic ground trips to Nashville, D.C., Chicago, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and Destin, Florida for under $200 round trip, all on Delta nonstop. Give me one there, Gunnar. We've got to go, but give me one. I'll add one. Seattle to Oslo, $476 round trip, an unbelievable deal. $476? That's right. It might be worth going to Seattle just to grab that deal. You should go to Oslo instead of Orlando. They don't have Disney there. Anyway, give it up for Kyle and Gunnar, everyone.
