On this episode, I have 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.879 Asha Scott, who is currently starring in season one of 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.559 Below Deck Down Under, which is now being seen on 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:53.159 Channel seven's new channel, Bravo Asia. Scott made her debut 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.960 appearance as chief stew in Below Deck down Under, and 0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:59.920 this was after successfully completing two seasons as stewardess in 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.480 Below Deck Mediterranean. The series chronicles the lives of crew 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.520 members who work and reside aboard one hundred and fifty 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.679 foot plus super yacht during a charted season in Australia, 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.520 which consists of filming for about six weeks, with the 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.680 cast temporarily replacing the conventional crew. I described this series 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.240 as Housewives on a Boat or vander Pump Rules at Sea, 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.200 but it does have some really entertaining insights into the 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:24.959 world of what it's like to be on one of 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.760 those super yachts. We will find out what Asia really 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.880 thinks of filming the show, how Asia was cast and 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.000 found herself as one of New Zealand's most famous reality 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:40.400 TV exports. I particularly love Andy Comen, so I'm going 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.320 to ask a lot about what it's really like to 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:46.280 work with him behind the scenes. Plus, we'll get plenty 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.280 of exclusives from behind the scenes of Below Deck down Under, 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.840 which will be right up your flagpole if you love 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.320 this type of reality anyway, let's bring Asia into the podcast, 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.480 and I really hope you enjoyed this episode. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.000 Hi, how are you? 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.520 Oh, I'm very very well, thank you. I'm having a 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.320 great Wait, how are you going? 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:06.800 I'm so excited. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.079 I feel like I've been below Deck for the last 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.400 few weeks getting excited to chat with you today. 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.480 Oh, I thank you. That's so kind of you to say. 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:16.680 Have you been enjoying it? 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:20.040 Yeah, I absolutely love it, and I'm excited for Australia 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.280 to get on board with this because kind of has 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:23.799 this new home on Channel seven. 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.280 Yeahes, They're weird for you guys to suddenly see your 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:29.560 own country on such a popular show. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.440 Absolutely, and interestingly enough, I hadn't actually watched any of 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:35.799 the Below Decks, and I found myself at dinner with 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.640 Hannah and I didn't really know who she was, and 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.440 so she was sort of explaining the show, and it's 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:42.959 another world. 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.680 It's really really cool and I feel so I honestly 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.320 feel so grateful that I'm a part of it. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.400 It's just the best thing that's ever happened to me. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.520 Really well, Australia's now can obviously have more access with 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.239 you than ever before. How do you describe this show 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.600 to people who haven't seen it. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.840 I guess it's a reality show that follows the lives 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:04.240 of the crew on Soupiochts, and I think that the 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.040 reason it does so well is well a because soupi 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.920 yachting is getting so popular that everyone, I guarantee everyone 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.920 you talk to in Australia New Zealand knows someone that 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:16.799 has gone and worked on the super yachts. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.160 It's almost a rite of passage now. And I think 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:20.560 that it. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.600 Also just does so well because there's something in it 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.200 for everyone. You know, you've got the sex, the hot people, 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:30.560 the drama, but you've also got the tourism, the beautiful views, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.400 You've got the technical side of how how are yacht works? 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.960 How do you do all the lines? There's just something 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.240 for every interest. 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.200 You get stopped a lot. I mean I'm assuming that 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.760 you would now get stopped a lot around the world. 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.040 I mean it's one of the most watch shows. What's 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.120 the most common question that you get asked from? You know, 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.480 people that approach you on the street. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.040 Do you know what? Still? 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.920 To this day, so many people are like, what happened 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:57.320 to you and Jack? And the thing is, half the 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.840 time they asked me that when my boy's standing next 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.760 to me, and you know, it's not that he minds, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.880 but it's like people really loved that story. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:07.720 People really really. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.120 Loved that whole thing. And I don't blame them. We 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.080 were pretty funny and season four was so entertaining. 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.520 Yeah, I feel like we're all just way too invested 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.919 and we forget that your life does in between the seasons. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.600 I know, and I think that people often do forget 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.240 because I, like, you know below, Dick has done so 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.440 well and it's airing on channels globally all the time, 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.520 and you forget that with the reruns, someone might have 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.320 only just watched season four for the first time, so 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.120 you can understand why people still get caught up in 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:38.160 these old stories. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.240 Is the Australian series. Is this a good jumping off 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.800 point for people who haven't watched the shoot or do 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.440 people need to go back and watch some of your 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:46.160 other seasons. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.040 No, I don't think so. 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.560 I mean, it's one of the beauty of it is 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:54.240 that every season you generally start with a whole new cast, 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.120 a new country, because they do a different country every time. Well, 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.359 usually a whole new cast, except for when you have 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.160 returnees myself and Jason, But it's. 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.039 Just one of those ones. It's like Coronation Street. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.320 You can kind of jump into any episode and kind 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.680 of figure out what's going on, which is the beauty 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.840 of it because you never know what's airing people that 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.640 are commitment fobes. With programs you can kind of jump 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.920 and wherever, jump out wherever. But I think the cool 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.440 thing about Australia is that you can watch it and 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.920 see the growth of everyone because even myself season two, 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.159 compared to season one, I feel like I was a 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.240 totally different chief show and I was so proud of 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.840 that kind of growth arc that I had. But I 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.719 couldn't get there if I hadn't learned what I learned 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.120 in season one. And I really like that people can 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.560 follow that journey with me. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.880 I mean, this show's a real guilty pleasure for people. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.800 And I'm assuming that you'd watched a lot of shows 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.200 from Bravo before, but what was your favorite reality show 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.880 before joining Below Deck? 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.960 You know what, this is terrible because I well, I 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.960 was working on the boats for so long that I 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.560 actually have barely watched TV all through my twenties. 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.359 But I used to the Amazing Race. 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:02.920 And I know that it's terrible of me to say 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.000 because it's not a Bravo show, but I just have 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.240 always been into that whole travel aspect, which is why I. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.240 Think people love blow Dick so much. 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.960 It's so cool seeing different countries and cultures through a show. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.039 Someone's going to probably listen to this podcast now and 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.240 approach you to do a celebrity version of that show, 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:20.120 which you would be great. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.640 Oh my god, please someone give me on that. 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.560 How much of blow Dick from around the World had 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.840 you seen before originally joining that Mediterranean series? I mean, 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.000 were you familiar with it before joining it? 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.080 No, not at all, And I think I honestly think 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.760 that's why I did. One of the reasons why I 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.960 did so well because my friend told me about So. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.680 You know, I've always been interested in doing some sort 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.440 of reality show. I've always thought it would be so fun. 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.480 And one of my friends actually found the contact for 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.200 the casting agent for me, And even when I'd applied 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.760 for it, I was going through the interviews. I think 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.479 most normal people would kind of do a bit of 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.640 research and see what the show is about. But I'm 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.919 very impol so she'll be right kind of person, So 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:05.120 I never bothered looking into it. Even when I walked 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.880 into filming, I didn't have to watch any episodes, and 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.480 I didn't really watch an until afterwards, and it wasn't 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.320 until the show came out and I started getting stopped 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.640 on the street all the time. I was like, hold on, 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.600 is this like a real big show or something? 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.600 And then I realized that it was huge. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.320 So I don't know, I was kind of glad that 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.080 I did it that way because I just think that 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.720 you're so much more authentic when you've got no idea 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:30.440 what's going on. 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.560 Yeah, I think that's probably the better way to go 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:32.840 into it. 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.000 I think if you had any stranger danger or you 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.720 had seen it before, you'd probably pretend to be like 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.320 some of the people that you've been on the show, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.080 and it might take away from being your authentic self, 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:42.360 you know. 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.400 Well, and there's the thing, like I don't want to 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.920 name any specific names, but I have worked with a 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:50.080 couple of people in the past on the seasons where 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.400 they obviously have like watched them all and they've decided 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.400 how they want to come across, and it always ends 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.640 up finding them in the like, you know, blowing up 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.560 in their face because they people get confused about who 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.320 they are. Because you can't maintain this kind of facade 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.320 for a whole season. It's just hard to really get 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:11.560 to know the genuine you when you're saying what you 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.720 think you should say, or you start to speak and 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.400 then realize the cameras are there and kind of be like, oh, 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.680 don't worry, don't worry. And it's so much bitter just 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.320 to be authentically who you are and people can take 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.120 it or leave it, and if you're not happy with yourself, 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.080 it's kind of sad. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.200 Well, I think that's why you're so good on this show, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.880 because like right from the start from me watching you 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.920 your time on this show, it actually does feel very 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.640 much like fly on the Wall type reality TV, which 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.560 is the reality TV that connects with audiences. And I 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.439 think as soon as you start curating how you want 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.680 to sound or what you want to do, reality TV 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.320 produces will tell you that if you're trying to be 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:51.200 something you're not, the disconnect will be obvious to audiences. 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:54.000 And that's the thing, Like people aren't dumb, and when 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.720 they watch these like when they watch shows, they can 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.200 tell when you're being genuine or not. And as soon 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.400 as they sniff about that you're putting something on, they're 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.840 going to you know, even if you're being amazing, they're 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:05.760 going to turn on you. 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.360 So just be yourself and be happy with it. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.480 Well. The other thing I thought was interesting is you know, 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.360 now that you've done a few different seasons and a 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.120 few different places around the world, do they different How 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:16.720 do they differ in any way? I mean, does the 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.920 American one different to the Australian one? You know, like 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:20.439 how do these shows compare? 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:22.000 Yeah, so I'm not really sure. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.560 With the regular below deck, it seems like it's pretty 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.520 on point with that part of the world. 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:31.000 But I just always explain it like the med is 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.240 the med is more. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.360 That's kind of the home of super yachting, and that's 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:39.200 where you've got your very strict, very high end service. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:44.079 The client towlel tends to be much more demure and withdrawn, 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.040 and you know, that's kind of where I was raised 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.040 in yachting and where I did all of my training, 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:53.560 whereas in Australia it's much more laid back. Like the 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.160 clients always want. They're like, come come into our hike 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.720 with us, come and do our walk with us, come 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:00.640 to the jet skiser that they I want to get 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:01.319 you involved. 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:02.520 They're very relaxed. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.120 You still make sure you offer that high end service, 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.800 but everything just has a much more relaxed feel about it. 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.280 Do you feel like there's a preference, like, do you 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:15.200 prefer the high level energy and maybe more stressful environment 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.640 of working overseas than working here in Australia. I mean, 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:18.560 what do you prefer now? 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:23.360 Well, you know, it's hard to say, because I feel 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.640 like in Australia my real personality can come out a 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.000 lot more Like I have a lot more fun with 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.920 the guests, a lot more back and forth. You know 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.640 this one dinner, I even told one of the clients 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.960 to shut the fuck up because I was talking and 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.480 even thought it was hilarious. And you can really just 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.800 push the boundaries of that kind of friendship professional line. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.600 And I love that because that's where I thrive. But 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.040 then I also I really love in the mid too, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.520 because I was trained in that very strict black and white, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:59.240 high end service and sometimes I do miss that strictness, 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.199 but I I say, I think I'm much better at 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.839 entertaining people, so I'm glad that that part can come 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:05.960 out in Australia. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.640 I always want to ask people that are on big 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.800 shows like this whether or not you watch them back, 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.520 and you know, is that something you do like Once 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.640 these episodes are out for the general public to watch. 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.000 Do you feel like you need to watch it to 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.040 understand what they've seen? Like, what's your relationship with the 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:20.200 show once it's gone to weir? 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.880 Absolutely? So when the when the show is airing, we. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.520 Get Cyndi episode like just before it. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.559 So so many people think that we must get Synny 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.480 episodes well beforehand and we can say parts that we 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.400 like and parts that we don't like. But it's really 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.920 we don't have any say, and I think that's part 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.840 of why we get it like just beforehand, so we 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.480 can But I think it's really important to watch it 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.400 just to know what everyone else is seeing and what 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.080 their opinion of you might be. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.480 What about like embarrassing things that you've seen? 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.480 Do you get stressed if you've watched the episode, say 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.640 a day before the public sees it, and you go 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.280 and try and write to the producers and say can 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.680 you not show that? Do you ever get worried about 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.520 what people have seen? And maybe what's an example of 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.400 something you've done on the show that you think, God, 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:09.720 I wish I wouldn't have done that. 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:14.760 No, you know, I really don't regret anything. I'm such 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.319 an open book and I am who I am, and 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.959 it's really interesting because I think that I am one 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.520 of the very few people on the show that think 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.160 that way, because I've had lots of different casts message 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.200 me and call me and they're like, I'm freaking out, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.839 Like one of my episodes is coming out, I'm so stressed, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.320 Like how do you handle this? 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.680 How do you do it so well? I'm so scared 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:37.800 how everyone's going to take me. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.480 And the thing that I just say to everyone, which 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.760 is what I live by, is I'm like, if you 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:46.880 have got your family, your friends, your partner, the people 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.760 who have always known you, that love you no matter what, 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.640 then who gives a shit what anyone else in the 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:53.400 world thinks? 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:54.000 You know? 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.600 It's like you don't know them. 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.199 You don't know Barbara and Kansas sitting in her lounge 0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:59.080 judging you. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:00.880 So I just it's just. 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.120 And also the thing is as well as I don't, 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.319 I never feel sorry for him, because I'm like, you 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:11.760 literally signed up to something that films you constantly and 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.360 then shows it to the whole world. So you sign 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.520 into this knowingly. So people that start to because there 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.680 have been again I won't say names, but there have 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.600 been many people who have messaged the producers angrily like, 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.480 why do you do this and why do you put 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.280 this in? And it's like you are you literally put 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.800 yourself in this position. So in my mind it's like 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.559 whatever goes goes, and I don't I don't really care 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:36.000 that much. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.080 I've just been watching This Morning You with Andy Cohen 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.719 on Watch What Happens Live. You know, I'm obsessed with 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.679 Watch What Happens Live. I love that show. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:48.000 I love him, I adore him. I think that he's 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.120 the king of Bravo. 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.559 I really don't know. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.679 How he keeps up with everyone with all the shows 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.040 so well, and you know, he probably is a bit 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:01.400 more housewife leaning, but that's absolutely fine. I know that 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.640 he loves Below Dick. He thinks it's a great show, 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:07.560 and I just always have thought he's really really good 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.520 at his job, and I admire that. 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.640 I love how passionate it he is about these women 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.400 from the Real Housewives series. I mean, it's quite last 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.960 he really does, and I think that makes it so 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.240 much more enjoyable. And he kind of is the voice 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.320 for people and says what to these women, what we 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.600 are thinking at home? He liked that in real life 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:27.240 is because I can imagine he would just be the 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:28.760 same on camera as he is off camera. 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.800 I don't get that much time to chat with him 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:35.120 when we're doing Watchmapons Lives because between ad breaks and that, 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:37.720 in every ad break, he's kind of going over what 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.240 he has to say Nick, so you know, you can 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:41.680 have a quick chat term afterwards. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.920 And he's definitely the same on and off camera. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:48.200 But I feel like, because I feel like he's become 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:53.000 more he'll call you out if you've been an asshole, 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.280 and so I feel like the people that don't like 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.040 him are the people that have fucked up in some 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.320 way and he's called them out, and then I think 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:02.920 he's the asshole. But it's like he's just calling out 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.960 something that you've done in some other situation. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.080 Well, this is the reason why we love him. 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:13.160 Yeah, exactly. I love watching it. It's so entertaining. 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.920 What have we got to look forward from? You coming up? 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.960 What's happening next? I mean, it seems like your life 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:20.840 is way more exciting than mine. I just want to 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.640 know what's happening for So. 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:26.920 We have filmed below Dig Down Under season two. So 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.800 my next thing is preparing for that airring, which hopefully 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.200 will be sometime soon in the States and then I 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.760 couldn't say for anywhere else. I'm sorry, but I'm just 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.120 really excited for that to come out and for everyone 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.280 to see what magic was created in season two because 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.800 season one, you know, I just I did find it 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.640 really stressful being my first season in that role. And 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.200 season two, I feel like I kind of feel like 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.720 the season four Asha came back but still being the 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:54.800 professional chiefs too. 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.760 That I am, but I feel like I. 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.120 Had more of a chance for the silly, for the 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.000 silly and to come out because I was just much 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:03.320 less stressed than last season. 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:04.400 I was more used to the role. 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:06.920 But can you tease us? Can you tease us something 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:08.440 of what's going to happen in season two? 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:09.120 We want to know. 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.600 Well, I can tell you that season one I think 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:16.080 was the first season with absolutely no hookups, and there 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.200 will definitely be hookups in season two. There's going to 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.960 be some drama and there that I don't think has 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:27.880 ever happened on the show ever before. It's just so 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:31.360 unpredictable and so up and down, and it's one of 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.040 those seasons with every episode he was going to be 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.000 like what what? 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:37.720 So I can't why? 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.600 Okay, I've got my popcorn out. I've got my red wine. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.520 I'm ready to go. Everyone who joins the podcast gets 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.240 asked this last question. What is something from behind the scenes, 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:49.240 something that we as an audience won't see that you 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:50.960 can kind of give us as a behind the scenes 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:52.960 secret on making this show. 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:59.080 Oh behind the scenes secret. So basically, we fly in 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.120 and we've got about five day, five or six days. 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.600 We were kind of hanging around, getting used to the 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:08.080 time zone, meeting the producers, all of that kind of thing, 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.200 but we can't see each other. We're sequested in our 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.280 hotel room because they don't they want all of our 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.280 reactions of ours walking on to be real. And I 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.800 guess he's something that I could say is when we 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.240 come on the boat, it's the first time that we're 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:24.159 seeing the boat and meeting the crew, and it genuinely 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:26.840 is you join and you pick up charter the next day. 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.119 So it's so stressful because you don't know how anyone works, 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:31.679 what anyone's personalities are like. 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:36.160 And then it's six weeks of back to back nine charters, 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.320 and then you finish and you do a day of 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.280 filming promos and then you all buger her off. 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.200 And fly home, return to your normal life, which is 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.639 the same as on the show. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:52.119 Yeah, exactly, exactly. So it's full on. 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:56.840 It's full on, and afterwards you need like two weeks 0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.800 of just lying absolutely still, just to recover mento physically. 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:02.440
