What was said
"And and so and then it turned out um we shot something in 2004 without any permits and that someone dug that up and dinged us for that. So on the eve of going, we pulled the plug cuz we still didn't have an answer and instead in two weeks we planned you going to Italy with Jordan."
Producer Mike Sweeney says the team’s 2017 effort to film in India ran into delays after authorities raised an earlier, unpermitted segment shot in the country in 2004. Sweeney says the show pulled the plug on the trip when clearance still had not come through, and instead planned a last-minute Italy shoot with Conan O’Brien.
