| 0:32.6 | What do you think? |
| 0:33.6 | I think you'll find out in a few minutes if you listen to the rest of the show, but there's a clear |
| 0:38.5 | winner. There's a clear winner. I'll give you that. There is clear winner today on that topic, |
| 0:43.4 | and it might not be what you think. So this show is going to be different from usual. Nick and I are |
| 0:49.3 | in Macau as we record this. And so we're going to skip some of the usual segments. There's no |
| 0:56.5 | giant mailbag. There's no, probably no question of the week today. But what we're going to do |
| 1:02.4 | is start with a challenge update and talk all about what's going on so far. Can you give us a recap |
| 1:08.3 | of, well, what is the challenge we're talking about? Let's start |
| 1:12.1 | there. Well, so the challenge we're on right now is our party of five challenge where the five |
| 1:17.2 | people who work at frequent milers, that's Greg DeFrequent Miler, of course me, and then Tim and Carrie |
| 1:23.7 | and Stephen are all traveling together. And the objective is to plan an incredible trip for a group of five. And essentially we each had one, well, we split into two teams. Carrie and Stephen are team Tokyo. So they planned a trip from Tokyo for about a week. And then Tim and I are team San Francisco. And so we have a trip planned starting in San Francisco also for about a week. And so the objective is to make the best use of Greg's miles and money and create a trip that's tailored to a group of five of us, which includes finding award availability for five, finding hotels for five and all of those challenges that families often face. So we are in the midst of that challenge. And if you're not following us on Instagram, you should be because that's where all of the stories are getting posted as we travel and reels. And so you'll see all sorts of cool stuff that we've been doing. And so if you want to follow along, that's really the best way to do it. If you're not familiar with Instagram, when you sign up, when you go to our profile page, you click on the frequent miler logo, like our little icon profile picture. And that's how you can kind of next your way through stories or then the reels on our homepage there are going to also tell part of the story. So we are in the midst of the frequent miler challenge. We love to do these challenges to find new things and kind of challenge perceptions about what's possible. And hopefully by the end of this trip, you'll say, wow, I can take my family a four or five and do some awesome stuff because we were able to do that. So we have to update people and tell you what we've been doing so far. Right. So you tell us where we started, Greg, you booked it. |
