Pete and Chasten recently found themselves stuck on the tarmac at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Ever the optimists, they had a little fun, using it as a chance to answer questions from folks across the country.

The only rule: No politics.

Here’s the three things we learned about Pete and Chasten on the O’Hare tarmac.

Chasten is a huge animal lover.

Especially when they’re sleeping…

Chasten has excellent pop-culture taste

Chasten finally revealed the secret behind Pete’s ties.

And we have a pretty good guess as to how Pete reacted.

At least they fit…

At long last, their waiting came to an end.

It was a good time, if not the Shortest Way Home.
