1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's. Well, we just heard in our news

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: the big news at Samantha Armitage is stepping away from

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: her role with Sunrise. I can completely understand this, she said,

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: and you heard some of it there. I have some

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: big news to announce. I've always been brave and this

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: is no different my career and this decision. As many

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: of you know of my personal life, the last six

8
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: months have been very bittersweet. She lost her mum and

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: she got married. She said. Bits have been very happy

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: and bits have been very sad. I want to step

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: out of this and calm things down, take some time,

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: enjoy a bit of slow living, precious family husband, spend

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: some time with Banjo that's her pooch. I get that completely,

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: she said. And this decision is of my own choosing.

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: I go out of this job at a time when

16
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: we're on top of the ratings in television. You know,

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: not many people after eight years can say that they

18
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: do that. This is something that I thought was beautiful,

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: she said. And almost when I was almost eighteen, my

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: mother said to me, and ruthlessly edit your life frequently.

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: It is your masterpiece, after all. And that's precisely what

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. Sam. We wish you well.

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: She said.

24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: She's got a couple of days still at the Helm,

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: and then she'll be stepping away. She said, I'll spend

26
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: some time looking after myself, and after I feel refreshed,

27
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: and after I take a break, I'll decide on my

28
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: next chapter.

29
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: Wow, we wish you well, Sam, We do so. This

30
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: is why you've been photocopying your CV, so you could

31
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: be part of the Sunrise family.

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: No, I wonder who will replace Well?

33
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: I wonder.

34
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: Indeed, I'm used to the early mornings.

35
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: You can do the early mornings. You've got your own lapel.

36
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Mike ready to go. Jonesy and Amanda's Nation
