HE JUST GOT DONE CAMPING HAD A
NICE MICHIGAN SUMMER CAMPING
TRIP.
WE’RE VERY, VERY PINING TO
EXPERIENCE THE LATE SUMMER
HUMIDITY AND PERHAPS EVEN A
THUNDERSTORM OR SOMETHING.
WE START MISSING THAT REAL BAD
THIS TIME OF YEAR.
>> YEAH
[LAUGHTER]
>> Jason: LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS SHOW.
HOW DOES FAMILY GAME FIGHT WORK?
>> WELL, WE EACH REPRESENT A
FAMILY IN THIS GAME SHOW FOR
PEOPLE. AND A FAMILY CAN BE BEST FRIENDS
AND A FAMILY CAN BE BEST FRIENDS
THAT MET IN THE PANDEMIC.
IT COULD BE FIREFIGHTERS, IT
COULD BE DOCTORS. AND WE PLAY WITH THEM ALL THESE
AND WE PLAY WITH THEM ALL THESE
RIDICULOUS MEAN PHYSICAL VIOLENT
GAMES.
>> YEAH, WE ARE GAMERS OURSELVES
AND LOVE TO PLAY.
WHEN WE THOUGHT ABOUT HOSTING
SOMETHING, WE SAID ONLY IF WE
CAN ALSO PLAY THE GAME, SO WE’RE
PLAYING AGAINST EACH OTHER AS
WELL. >> Jason: THAT ADDS A WRINKLE.
>> Jason: THAT ADDS A WRINKLE.
IS WHAT WE’RE GOING TO SEE A
REFLECTION OF GAME NIGHT IN THE
DAX AND KRISTEN HOUSEHOLD? >> YEAH, LOUD AS HELL.
>> YEAH, LOUD AS HELL.
AND BOTH OF US LOSE CONTROL OF
OURSELVES AND OUR BETTER
JUDGMENT.
>> AT DIFFERENT POINTS OF THE
NIGHT. THERE ARE USUALLY FEELINGS THAT
THERE ARE USUALLY FEELINGS THAT
HAVE TO BE SOOTHED AT SOME
POINT.
>> AND THERE’S A POST-MATCH
MAKEUP.
>> WE DON’T HAVE AS MANY PRODUCERS AT OUR HOUSE AS WE DO
PRODUCERS AT OUR HOUSE AS WE DO
ON THE SHOW, BUT IT’S ALL WORTH
IT.
>> Jason: SO WHO IS MORE COMPETITIVE BETWEEN YOU TWO?
COMPETITIVE BETWEEN YOU TWO?
>> WE’RE PRETTY EQUALLY
COMPETITIVE, EQUALLY STUBBORN,
EQUALLY BULL HEADED.
AND THEN WE REPRODUCE, SO WE
HAVE STUBBORN SQUARES, WE HAVE
TWO STUBBORNS.
>> Jason: IS THERE A GENUINE
TOUGH LOSS FEELING IF YOUR TEAM
DOESN’T WIN?
>> HEARTBREAKING.
>> BIG-TIME!
WE’RE NOT PLAYING FOR MONEY,
WE’RE PLAYING FOR PRIDE, AND
APPLIED IS EASIER TO LOSE, IT FEELS LIKE.
FEELS LIKE.
BECAUSE ON THIS SHOW, WE SPEND
THE WHOLE DAY WITH THESE
FAMILIES GETTING TO KNOW THEM
AND FALLING IN LOVE WITH THEM AND REALLY WANTING TO GIVE THEM
AND REALLY WANTING TO GIVE THEM
MONEY AT THE END OF THE SHOW,
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ONLY ONE
FAMILY CAN MAKE IT WHICH IS WHY
WE BOTH TRY SO HARD FOR OUR
INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES.
>> THIS WAS ALMOST A NET LOSS
FOR US.
WHEN A FAMILY WOULD LOSE,
KRISTEN WOULD COME IN AND SAY
WE’VE GOTTA SEND THEM SOME MONEY.
>> THIS IS NOT FAIR.
THEY WORKED SO HARD.
HERE’S WHY THEY NEED IT BECAUSE
I’VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THEM.
WE DIDN’T PANTS PATE IT BEING AS
EMOTIONALLY STRENUOUS AS IT WAS.
>> BECAUSE YOU’RE SO ROOTING FOR
EVERYONE THAT PLAYS.
EVERYONE IS FANTASTIC! >> Jason: WELL, THANK YOU SO
>> Jason: WELL, THANK YOU SO
MUCH, BOTH OF YOU, TO TAKE TIME
TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE SHOW.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING US. >> Jason: IT AIRS TOMORROW NIGHT
