396.391 - 405.061 Unknown

I think we're kind of both transitioning from one show, one franchise to another. Were you nervous going into it?

405.461 - 421.26 Tom Schwartz

Yeah, massively nervous. I think, you know, I'd done sailing for four seasons. You know, you were on VPR for, I don't know, what was it, 10? We did 11 seasons. 11, wow. Yeah. I mean, you would have been really nervous. I think. That would have been scary.

421.44 - 428.25 Unknown

I felt like even though everyone on the new show are my friends and I have established relationships with them, I felt like I was going to a new school.

428.891 - 439.847 Tom Schwartz

Well, I guess like you kind of said, you described it as like feeling lucky. And I think that's what I felt as well. Like, I think you feel kind of complacent, maybe like you deserve to be there.

439.827 - 468.417 Unknown

and especially after 11 years so i think when that shuts down and that's kind of taken away and you get given an offer another opportunity yeah like kind of going to a new school even though they're your friends you still feel like oh i've got to work at this like i totally and you just said that you articulated that perfectly i never took it for granted but at some point i think it became such a part of my life i i forgot that i was on a tv show yeah i never wasn't grateful
