Speaker 6: is why the dedication that these dancers have is amazing.

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 6: To learn that craft is such a privilege. It was

65
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 6: one of the most beautiful experiences in my life because

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 6: I got to, you know, represent what I'm all about

67
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 6: on this holy stage and this new platform, and it

68
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,919

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 6: so nice because after being three months in all the

76
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 6: craziness of the ballroom. To be back in Africa. It

77
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 6: felt like a breath of fresh air. Julia was there

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 6: at the airport in this remote town in Africa. As

79
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,400

80
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 6: the runway, there she is, and I'm like, oh, yeah, okay,

00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 6: I'm home.

82
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: But you're gone from Robert Irwin in a private jet

83
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: to just in her Mazda out the front of the

Speaker 2: help in the driveway.

85
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 4: Now, I don't disrespect the one two one.

86
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what I'm really excited about. And I'm

87
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: an essenonce supporter, so I love Dyson Heffle, so I'm

88
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: pumped about that. But do you know what, I'm all

89
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: so excited and I don't know if this is the

90
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: wrong thing to say. I've seen Denny Hines on social media.

91
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: Now when she fires up, my god, there won't be

92
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: a wilder animal in the jungle like she gets so

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: passionate and angry sometimes. So I think we're going to

94
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: see a bit of that, or I'm hoping we do

95
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: this season.

96
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: Hm.

97
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: I did see he.

98
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 4: As one of the celebrity apprentices with Denny, and you know,

99
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 4: I don't I wish I had an ability to be

100
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 4: more honest with the stuff that's directly in my head

101
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 4: out my mouth, right. Okay, there's some phone calls you

102
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: get on where you're like, I wish I could absolutely

103
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: rip this. Yeah. Yes, So there's to be a freedom

104
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 4: in that.

105
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: She's good at that.

106
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

107
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: And I agree with you. I agree with you there, Julia.

108
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: And the other one that I think that she might

109
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: be crushing with is that you was your on air husband,

110
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: Gary Sweet. Now, Gary has been a part of the

111
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: industry for a lot for a long time, and Gary

112
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: has some strong views as well, but he is going

113
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: to be a firecracker in the jungle, Julia.

114
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: I mean, Sweet, gee Sweet opens up like a pizza cutton.

115
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna laugh.

116
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 3: Here comes Gary. Don't worry for everything.

117
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 4: Everything you're suspecting. There might be like, get you a

118
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: cup of tea and sit down in front and tell

119
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: you because it's.

120
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 6: All there for you, because the tea is about to

121
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 6: be spilled.

122
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 4: There used to be a move called the Gary Sweet

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 4: Banana team where if you instead of walking directly towards

124
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: the camera, you had to just come out and give

125
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: the person beside you their shots. You'd have to come

126
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 4: out and go round a tiny bit. It was called

127
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: the gary sweet Banana tem do you reckon? I use

128
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: that once or twice?

129
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh yeah, look this is going to

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: be awesome. But you know the other one. I mean,

131
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: when you think of Rachel Hunter, you think of like

132
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: an international model. But you threw it like Robert. You

133
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: threw tarantulas at her on the first episode, and she

134
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: took it like a boss, like it was unbelievable. She's

135
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: up for this.

136
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 6: She's up for it like she is. She is right

137
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 6: in there, boots and all one. I mean when and

138
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 6: I just love that after a trial like what you saw,

139
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 6: and she is right in amongst it. After we finish,

140
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 6: she goes up to the animal at the end and goes, oh,

141
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 6: thank you. She thanks the animal that she's just just

142
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 6: been with. And I'm like, you know what, that's really cool.

143
00:06:59,000 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 5: Go you.

144
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 6: He's got such a connection with nature, like she absolutely

145
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 6: loves it. So I feel like she sees this opportunity

146
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 6: as a chance to just be at one with the jungle.

147
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 6: And I tell you what, We're throwing everything at it,

148
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 6: a whole kitchen sink, but he just takes it on

149
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 6: like a champ. So wonder watch meant everybody in there

150
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 6: is wonder Watch, Like, can.

151
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: I ask a quick question?

152
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 5: Then I'll just just jump in Julia in particular, I

153
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 5: just want to ask about the reader Luke Bateman.

154
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, thoughts I what can I tell you about him?

155
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 5: I don't know, just does he really read all those books?

156
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: Like?

157
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: Is it that legit?

158
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: Well, then, you know, I started following him halfway through

159
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: last year because a friend of mine started to manage him,

160
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 4: and I'm like, this is a sweet young person, but

161
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: you know, one of those handsome boys that thinks they're

162
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 4: terribly interesting. And then of course I followed him. You're

163
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 4: going to be very careful. As a retired code you can't.

164
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: It's very difficult to follow young people. So then but

165
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: then he starts to talk about these books with passion,

166
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: and then I love what Concetta said about you know,

167
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: like Kurt's mate reading cool again and that reading is inspiring.

168
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: It is inspiring.

169
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: Certainly, what are you going to read? Like Instagram? I'm

170
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 4: ready to just lose my call when I'm you know,

171
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: seeing good news bad newsic't like seriously, it's a lot

172
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: to take it once, as we all know, so reading

173
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: does take you somewhere.

174
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 5: You're talking a lot about reading and not much about Luke.

175
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: I think you're well.

176
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 4: I think that Luke has been inspiration for that. He

177
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: just seems like this, like here is this straight, beautiful

178
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 4: sort of you know, boy of the land, and it's

179
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: been a footy player. He's had troubles in his life.

180
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 4: He's ready to talk about it. He's done the work.

181
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 4: Done the work.

182
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I said to you the first time I met him,

183
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 6: I was like, I need you to come catch crocodiles

184
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 6: with me, mate, Holy mouley unit.

185
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 4: Nothing the same thing, the crocodiles, hiding the.

186
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: Crocodile. Hey, just before you go as well. The latest

187
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: trend on social media at the moment is to put

188
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: up photos of yourself. Ten years ago, twenty sixteen, we'd

189
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: actually worked out Julia Morris. Ten years ago was the

190
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: year that FITZI and Whipper went to the South African

191
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: jungle and Whipper had to stay in there as Joel

192
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: and that was the the height challenge that he Have

193
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: You not seen a contestant freak out more than Whipper,

194
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.

195
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: Lots and lots and lots of people would freak out

196
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: in that situation of people in the jungle when their

197
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 4: wives about to have a baby and not knowing how

198
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 4: long they're going to be in there. But what we

199
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: did see from Whipper and what we do see from

200
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: celebrity contestants who are just adapt or die weok for

201
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: with the turn and start to become a narrator and

202
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: people questions and you know, just kind of go accept

203
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: it and go, well, this is how it is. Now.

204
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: I just have to punch you the pain and I

205
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 4: will hold someone later. You know. It's an odd way

206
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 4: for producers to resign, but.

207
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: You know, I mean there was a moment too when

208
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: I tried to say to one of the young runners

209
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: on the team. I said, hey, can you don't get Tommy,

210
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: our executive producer. I need to speak to him now.

211
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: And she said, sorry, I'm not in charge, and I said,

212
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: you're right, I am go and get him.

213
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 5: Oh that's fear.

214
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: That's what fear does to you.

215
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: My language, too, was terrible, and I thought they won't

216
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: use that on camera, and of course they did.

217
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 5: Thank you, Thank you, We're loving it.
