Adam Schefter calls into ‘Pat McAfee Show’ from cab in travel nightmare

“I’ve never seen anything like what I saw in metro Detroit. We were in line for a flight. [feed freezes]”…The traffic was so intense that it lasted for six hours until the flights were canceled at 1 a.m.,” Schefter explained. “It was like a nightclub. Everyone was trying to get Uber, Lyft, taxis, whatever.”

I got back to the hotel at 2:30am, I had another flight booked for today, but it got cancelled, so I hired a cab and went back to New York. Now I’m in Pennsylvania, four hours away.”

Schefter, who was in Michigan “for business with his young daughter,” explained that his flight from Detroit to New York was one of many canceled Sunday, and described the chaos as a “total meltdown.”

“There is zero integrity and zero transparency from these airlines. It’s a tragedy what’s happening,” he continued. “I’ve spoken to people at other airports and it’s a disaster.”

Their plight was made even more dire by the fact that Schefter’s wife, Shari, has type 1 diabetes and only had one day’s worth of insulin left.

McAfee, a WWE commentator and daily sports talk show host, played down the situation, praising his friend for “finding a solution” while also expressing his sympathy.

“I’m sorry that you and your family are in that situation. It’s unbelievable the reality of it all when you think about insulin and diabetes and how public transportation, especially commercial airlines, can impact someone’s life,” he said.

“So the fact that Suit decided to solve it — ‘Let’s drive all of this’ — Shefty, I think it’s great that you have that attitude.”
