1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. You're back from your 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: assignment in Africa. We called it a holiday earlier. Well, 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: it's like the mistake I made in my sister one time, 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,319 Speaker 1: is just flying. There's a pilot when you go on 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: your holiday. Oh just stairs her up. Yes, I'm not 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: on a holiday. I fly planes for a living. Having 7 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: said that, I certainly wasn't flying planes. But as work 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: assignments go, I was responsibility free. It's a show called 9 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: Once in a Lifetime and Chris Brown's going to be 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: hosting this show. It's going to end next year on 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: Channel seven. And I got to have the most incredible 12 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: time without having to do any of the thinking or 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: the planning. And that was a holiday for me because 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: in this job, you know, we have three hours we 15 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: talk through every day. We have a meeting beforehand, we 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: prepare what we're going to say. All the thoughts are 17 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: the thoughts that we that come out of our mouths. 18 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: We work hard for these three hours. And so for 19 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: me to not have to plan anything, for me to 20 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: be able to float, because they didn't want me to 21 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: know what was happening, so they'd say it was today 22 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: we're going to be in blah blah. I wouldn't even 23 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: know where we were going, to be honest, we drove 24 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: around a certain country in Africa, and I didn't know 25 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: where we were going from. It's like being in witness 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: protection and there was something very freeing about that. And 27 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: for a couple of days there there was no WiFi 28 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: as I turned my WiFi off when I got to 29 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: eleven hundred dollars, thank you, Telstra. So I felt a 30 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: little like I was free floating, like in a bubble, 31 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: and that was so good for my head. I've got 32 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: a lot going on at the moment, as you know, 33 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: my dad's you know, ninety, my dog's getting older, my 34 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: husband's unwill. It was a great, great week to just float. Great. 35 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: So I loved it. But I had some interesting times. 36 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: I can't tell you too much about it because I 37 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: want to save all that for when the show goes 38 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: to air, But some interesting stuff. For example, the African 39 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: country we were in, there were some women who we 40 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: met who were just selling things on the side of 41 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: the road. Knew how excited I am by that bits 42 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: of tribal jewelry. So they were from a certain tribe 43 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: where they were topless and but had this incredible jewelry 44 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: around them, around their necks and on their wrists, amazing. 45 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: And one had her hair in a certain way which designated, 46 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: apparently according to our driver, that she was a virgin. 47 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: And we said, well, what happens she's waiting for a partner, 48 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: and they said, well, she's waiting for a guy who 49 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: can provide enough cows. I said, we said, what do 50 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: you mean? And so women are still bartered for by cows, 51 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: like maybe she'd be a five cow, and women who 52 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: are university educated they still for some people still have 53 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: to provide the cow. And there was one guy who'd 54 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: worked with these people and he was trying to save 55 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: up enough money to get some cows to be able 56 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: to propose to his girlfriend so that parents would allow 57 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: him to marry her. I'm not going to get actual cows, 58 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: actual cows. So it's like, I guess here trying to 59 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: save up for a deposit or something so that the 60 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: parents would let you get married. That probably still happens 61 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: in a lot of countries, but here the bartering was 62 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: around cows. She's what about Chris Brown, what do you mean? 63 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: What did you make a heme, Well, it was very 64 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: interesting because we were making jokes about him taking her 65 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: to the logies next week. Good, what new idea would 66 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: make of her turning up to the logies topless like 67 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: one of the fans from f Boy Ireland. That's right, 68 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: but yes, so just absolutely intriguing. But I can't wait 69 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: for you to see this show. I worked as Chris, 70 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: Chris's veterinary assistant, and yes I did have to put 71 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: on gloves, and yes I did have to go into 72 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: an animal's backside. Well, here we go, Here we go.
