00:00In 30 minutes at 4 o'clock, we've got tickets to see Russell Peters.
00:04I want to see some stand-up comedy in the city.
00:06We're the show all week long right at 4 ahead of the Beltway Blitz.
00:09Danny, give us a little scouting report on Russell Peters.
00:11He is hilarious.
00:13Really, I opened for him, it must have been like 15 years ago at the DC Improv.
00:17Really, really, really funny guy.
00:18He is one of those dudes that like his audience knows so well
00:24and he makes a great living like touring the country
00:26and he sells out like huge places basically,
00:28but hasn't been as mainstream for everybody yet, if that makes any sense.
00:31Every comic knows him.
00:32He runs in that Chappelle kind of circle with a bunch of dudes
00:36who's really, really famous but doesn't have the podcasting bro chops
00:41like a Burt Kreischer or someone like that to take his shirt off or whatever,
00:44but he's good, really good.
00:45We've got your tickets to see Russell Peters ahead of the Blitz
00:49at 4 in 30 minutes on the fan.
00:51You better be listening.
00:54The Commanders are going to be playing in London on October 4th, 2026
00:58at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
01:04The leak came from the stadium's website.
01:07They put out like the schedule for the stadium
01:10and they just updated it randomly over the weekend.
01:13So they had System of a Down performing a show in July
01:16and then October 4th, it says Washington Commanders
01:19and I did some due diligence here and I'm told that this is a credible date.
01:24So October 4th, 2026 it sounds like.
01:28I guess nothing will be official until the schedule comes out,
01:30but as close to it as you're going to get.
01:33Don't book your travel yet and blame me if you can't get your refunds, okay?
01:37But it sounds like, Danny, 10-4-2-6 is when the Commanders will be in London
01:42for what would be what, right around week five of the NFL season?
01:46Does that check out for you?
01:47Yeah, sort of trying to do some quick math on that, right?
01:50Last year, October 5th was week number five.
01:53So October 4th probably stands to reason to move it up a day.
01:56Yeah, probably week five at that point.
01:58So it felt like it was going to be the earlier international game.
02:02I mean, the earliest one, of course, kicks the whole thing off.
02:04But in terms of international travel games going to London,
02:06it seemed to me like it was going to be one of the first ones.
02:09I'd have read enough people that had guessed that or conjectured that
02:13or whatever the right verb there is for it.
02:15But, yeah, first sort of just around the first quarter of the season.
02:19So, yeah, the ninth is a Wednesday because we're going to have the rare Wednesday opener,
02:23which makes no sense for the Seattle Seahawks at home, remember.
02:26So that's September 9th.
02:28So then week one, week two, maybe even the third week of the season.
02:35It could be that early, week three or week four, depending on how you're looking at that Sunday.
02:40But, yeah, man, commanders early on going to London,
02:45which means we've got to start thinking about this.
02:48Our buddies, Kandori and Murad, who make our dreams come true,
02:53our traveling dreams come true as a show.
02:56Generally, we do a trip or two in the States.
02:59States, they gauged interest and asked if I could get over my fears of international travel.
03:04I think I could.
03:05I think I could do a red eye where I sleep because you know how good I am at sleeping
03:09on an airplane.
03:10As long as I don't have to be thinking the entire time about how we are 30,000 feet over
03:15top of water
03:15that is ice cold and when that plane gets near it, everything's over.
03:21As long as I don't have to consider that the entire time I'm up in the air.
03:24Again, I'm not bad at flying.
03:26It doesn't sound like it, but I'm great at flying.
03:27I'm the best at flying, no issues in terms of being over land.
03:31It's the water that's the problem.
03:32It's the ocean and no one being around except for like a marooned cruise ship where people have a weird
03:37virus.
03:37There's nobody anywhere near you.
03:40That's the problem.
03:40Don't you think you'll just sleep and do your mutant ability?
03:44So that's what I think I could do.
03:45If we do like a red eye situation where we were to fly out of here on a Thursday or
03:48a Friday or a Wednesday night or whatever
03:50and we leave at 10 or 11, I think I would just wake up in London.
03:54I'm like, hey, Danny, we're in a different country.
03:56I'm thinking we left at 9 a.m., noon, 2, 4, that boom, boom.
04:01But the first time they're like, welcome aboard, Grant's already sleeping.
04:03But here's what we've got to talk to the boss about.
04:06And this is what I don't know.
04:08I think there are two potential sticky wickets here.
04:12I'd like to go.
04:14Like I'm voting on going, okay?
04:16I think it's good for the show.
04:18I think if we go, there's going to be a million listeners there.
04:20We need to start working like last week on some type of meetup gathering, something in London fun for the
04:26radio station.
04:28Presumably Brian Mitchell will be there because he works with the team.
04:31JP will be there through NBC4, what have you.
04:33And so there's going to be at least four of us.
04:35I don't know if those guys want to participate or not, but we could do some kind of cool meetup
04:38and make it a big deal.
04:39So the thousands and thousands of fans that go to these international games that are P1s that listen to the
04:45station and whatever, I think people sleep on that.
04:47So I actually think there's value.
04:48It's worth it.
04:49So I'm in on going.
04:50There's two problems.
04:52Number one would be how late at night we'd be broadcasting.
04:56And this is very minor because at most we'd probably do two shows there if we went, say, Wednesday night.
05:01We'd do Thursday and Friday there.
05:03If we went Thursday night, we're only doing Friday.
05:07And we're broadcasting in London what would effectively be until 2 in the morning.
05:13So not quite.
05:14It's five hours ahead.
05:15So we would be on from 7 until 11.30 p.m. London time for our normal four-and-a
05:22-half-hour show.
05:22It's five hours ahead from DC.
05:24I thought earlier you said something else.
05:26No.
05:27London is – I may have, so I apologize if I didn't.
05:30London's five hours ahead.
05:31You were saying 2 a.m.
05:31And I thought that would be a game changer.
05:33So we're still off at 11?
05:34Yeah, off at 11.30.
05:36That's easy.
05:37Okay, so I'm taking that off the list of issues.
05:39Yeah.
05:39Earlier I thought we had said we'd be on until 2.30 in the morning, which seemed like, A, I
05:43have a dentist appointment.
05:43That's the weirdest time to have a dentist appointment.
05:45And, B, I can't do that.
05:46I mean, we could, but is it really worth it and what are we talking about?
05:50And now you're sleeping all the next day in this land you want to go explore.
05:53So that doesn't make a lot of sense.
05:55So I think going until 11.30 at night plays.
05:58We're going to be up until 11.30 anyway.
06:00Darius is just waking up at 11.30 at night as it is.
06:03He's, like, getting his day started.
06:04Perfectly fine with that.
06:05So cross that off the list.
06:06So now the only issue is that we've got to run by is how do we get back?
06:10It does not seem like there are conducive trips to flying back to the United States of America and here
06:16in Washington, D.C., where we both get back in time for the next show and don't miss a show.
06:22I think we could stagger our returns.
06:25Like, maybe the wife comes out.
06:27We do an extra day in London.
06:29Or I could take a train somewhere from there probably, right?
06:32Like, can I take a train to another place?
06:33You can take a train.
06:34Where could I take a train from London that would be cool to go with my wife for a day?
06:37There's a million places.
06:37Like, Manchester.
06:38You could go.
06:39Like, you could even train to Scotland.
06:41I mean, you could do a million things.
06:42I could do a day in Scotland?
06:43Yeah.
06:43I kind of want to do a day in Scotland.
06:45Right.
06:45So, if we did that, then maybe you fly back.
06:50I stay the extra day.
06:51I do the show Monday.
06:52You do the show Tuesday.
06:54Something like that.
06:55Because now I'm flying back on Tuesday.
06:57And so, we're staggered.
06:59And then someone's in to host the show both days.
07:01Now, the other side is our boss could be like, we're not doing this.
07:04And this doesn't make any sense.
07:05He's like, that's a bench player, a.k.a. a non-starter.
07:08Exactly.
07:08And so, none of this happens.
07:10And we go to Jacksonville, Florida, which is almost the same level of excitement, obviously,
07:14as flying overseas to go to London.
07:17But, these are the types of things I'm thinking about.
07:19If you can't go to London, they always, I think it's an old saying.
07:22If you can't go to London, you want to go to Jacksonville.
07:25Right.
07:25I think that's one of those old axioms that people live by.
07:28What do you think of my plan to try to make sure that someone's on the show for a Monday
07:35reaction show after the Sunday game of the staggered return?
07:40Old Fannie Mouye is into it.
07:42It's a creative idea.
07:43It's a creative solution to, problem isn't the right word, because that sounds too negative.
07:48I'd say problem.
07:48To the obstacle.
07:51Obstacles present themselves, and you can have solutions to them.
07:54But problem makes it sound like, uh-oh, it's a problem.
07:57This is an obstacle.
07:58Our boss certainly wouldn't want us both out the Monday after an NFL game in the middle
08:03of the fall.
08:03Which we understand.
08:04And by the way, even if he didn't have a problem, I wouldn't be cool with that.
08:08You're never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to turn on this show and hear the
08:13day after a Commander's game, God willing, the two of us, not one of us is here or both
08:19of us is here.
08:19And if it's not both of us, something happened.
08:22Right.
08:23That ain't great for the both of us.
08:24I also think there have probably been like five days since we started as a show at max,
08:28and I think it's considerably less than that, where one of us wasn't in, not on like Christmas
08:32day or something.
08:33Like that was a policy at one point that we just stick to.
08:36It's like, there's not going to be two fill-ins.
08:38Like one of you will be in, and I think we bet about $9.99 at that.
08:42I think so too.
08:43But that's where I'm willing to stagger this.
08:46If I got to fly back a day early, you stay, no problem.
08:50I don't mind footing the bill another day, kind of on my own.
08:53And the other thing is, my wife, I'm sure, would be nice to come.
08:55Now I bake in an extra day where we just hang out instead of, you know, doing whatever
09:01the crew's doing.
09:02And I think now she's happy.
09:04Everybody's happy.
09:05Everybody wins, except the commanders who probably lose to the Colts.
09:08But we don't know.
09:09They could win.
09:10We've seen them win on a trip one time.
09:12Remember?
09:13Yeah, that time they won.
09:15Cincinnati Bengals.
09:16That was great.
09:17That was the trip we've made so far when they've won.
09:19Yeah.
09:20Other times they don't win.
09:21The Chiefs game at Arrowhead was really bad.
09:23Philadelphia.
09:24They got shut out by the Minnesota Vikings.
09:26That was really bad.
09:27And then they got eviscerated in the fourth quarter against the Eagles at the link.
09:30But sometimes you get the ping pong balls and you get the number one pick.
09:33That's right.
09:33You know what I mean?
09:34Toby, you were in Madrid, Spain last year for the international game.
09:39Should I assume that Toby Altizer, one way or the other, is going to be in London this
09:45year?
09:45Even if that means, like, Toby took vacation for this week.
09:49Are you going to be in London?
09:50That'll be the plan.
09:52Hanging around, walking around, seeing all the sights, and then watching some football.
09:56How much Italian are you going to eat when you're there?
09:58That's normally your move internationally.
10:00Well, the nice part was Spanish food, like, actually has some fame.
10:03English food does not, aside from fish and chips.
10:05It all sucks.
10:06So maybe Italian would be an upgrade.
10:08I'm telling you, that's the best part.
10:10Not the best part.
10:11It's among the best parts of London.
10:12They know their own food sticks.
10:14The pub food, you get your fish and chips.
10:15It's good.
10:16But it's a hub for all the international food that you would want.
10:20That's what makes it good.
10:21What do I want to do in London?
10:24Tourist-y trap type things.
10:26I got to see Big Ben.
10:28Mm-hmm.
10:28I got to go see the Houses of Parliament, right?
10:33All that stuff.
10:34Do I go to Westminster Ave?
10:36Where's that at?
10:36I think so.
10:37You got to see Westminster Ave.
10:38It's gorgeous.
10:39Tower of London, Tower of Bridge, London Eye, British Museum.
10:42Where's Buckingham Palace?
10:44Is that near anything that I'll be near?
10:46I think so.
10:47It depends on where we're staying.
10:50I'm already talking about where we're staying.
10:52Which hotel is it again?
10:53By the way, this all hits a wall, and as soon as that email goes out where we're like, hey,
10:58your pitch goes up, you're like, hey, boss.
11:02I'm just curious.
11:03Here's what we're thinking.
11:05That'll be a quick response.
11:06Yes, Tobes.
11:07One of the nice parts about London is Buckingham Palace is a pretty leisurely stroll away from Big Ben and
11:13Parliament, and you can see most of the stuff.
11:16And then it's not too far from Piccadilly Circus where there's some shopping and different stuff.
11:20So it's actually pretty walkable in that area of the city for sure.
11:23Wow.
11:24All right.
11:24Well, nobody get excited just yet.
11:27Everyone calm down.
11:28We got to keep our composure.
11:29But the balls are in motion.
11:31The wheels?
11:32The balls.
11:32Let me think.
11:33Wheels in motion.
11:34Balls rolling downhill.
11:35What are the balls doing?
11:37The ball is rolling downhill.
11:39The balls are rolling downhill.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Here's what you can do.
11:43You can get the ball rolling.
11:44You can get the wheels in motion.
11:47That's the one I'm looking for.
11:47You don't want the balls in motion with the wheel rolling.
11:51This is one of those, though, where I think it'd go either way.
11:54And I think everyone...
11:55I'm not going to be upset because I think whoever says whatever they say is right.
11:58Does that make sense?
11:59Yeah.
12:00We're going to defer to the adults on this one.
12:01We are.
12:02Right?
12:03But I would like to see London.
12:06Maybe.
12:07I mean, it's one of those things.
12:08Here's what I'll say.
12:08I will never go to London on my own.
12:12Really?
12:12Oh, facts.
12:13You would never go?
12:14Not a million times.
12:16Never.
12:16Never.
12:17Ever.
12:17Ever.
12:17Ever.
12:18If I go for a football game this fall, I'll go to London.
12:22Otherwise, there's never going to be a time where I'm in London.
12:25How is that possible?
12:26That you would never go?
12:27When would I go?
12:28I have so many children.
12:30Your children won't always be tiny little people.
12:33They'll eventually get a little bigger.
12:34I mean, when I'm 70, I'm going to go...
12:35No.
12:35The last thing I want to do is fly out of the country when I'm 70.
12:40Really?
12:40Yeah.
12:41End up in a hospital somewhere for some reason, getting an urgent care.
12:45My heart palpitate.
12:46I don't know what's happening then.
12:47You're 70.
12:48You think you're just going to be walking around?
12:50Yeah.
12:50No.
12:51That's what my dad does every few months.
12:53Your dad's silly.
12:54I'm not going to be silly.
12:54Well, A, I agree with you.
12:55But B, they sort of gear up.
12:56They lay low, right?
12:58And they gear up, and they go to Europe, and they stay there for three weeks, and they
13:01come back with a head cold.
13:02Your dad was also smart enough to have this little thing called a savings account.
13:05I don't think I'm going to have that.
13:06Ah, I see.
13:07My guess is Kandori and Murat aren't flying your dad around.
13:09You know what I'm saying?
13:10I don't know how it's going to work out.
13:12They won't fly out seven-year-old Jeeps to London just so you can get to go.
13:16I just hear from what's seen him for the first time in like three decades.
13:18He's like, hey, I have a note here that when you're 70, I'm supposed to fly you to London.
13:23You still want to go?
13:24Yeah.
13:24I know it's 34 years later, man.
13:26You still down?
13:26I got a huge update.
