00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,479

Speaker 2: amazing Race International Travel? How's that show going to happen?

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,760

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of something from a lot of

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: the places we visited. I mean, I just was explaining

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: off fair. We went to Amy Logic, a place out

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: in Dubble does Amy Earl there's We went to what

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,640

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,760

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: You rub it on anything else? See, I've got scars everywhere,

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,080

20
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: some of my friends that rub it on their face.

21
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: It just it's meant I think you lose about five

00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: to ten years everything.

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: You're Benjamin buttoning before our No, it.

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Is it's just good. It's yeah, there's little gift fact there.

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: There's Tim Jams in there. I can't remember why these

26
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: Tim Jams in there, but timas Australia.

27
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: But did you also think that, oh there's my hosting

28
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: gig gone. You must have thought coronavirus. We can't do Australia,

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: we can't do amazing race.

30
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I did. I was. I was rattled early

31
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: because I remember talking to you guys last year and

32
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: we had a hit list of places and I've always

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: wanted to go to Croatia, never been there, in the

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: middle of some places in the Middle East, Lebanon and

35
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: nut So we had a few places in Mark. Then

36
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: we're going to go to India, originally through South America

37
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: and then hopefully finished down there near the Middle East,

38
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: but didn't happen. But then when I saw the route

39
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: for the Australian one, I was super excited because there's

40
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: a lot of places I've traveled a lot for food.

41
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: He played in different places, even in Darwin and Adelaide.

42
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of place I hadn't been to,

43
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: even places like Ularu.

44
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: To my shame, I've never been to. Every year I

45
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: say I want to go there, and we have done

46
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: some with the charity Dreams to Live for this is

47
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: adults who don't have long to live and they granted

48
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: a wish, so many of them, so they want to

49
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: go to Ularu. It's almost like a spiritual home for Australia.

50
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Alice Springs. I mean everyone in Australia should go to

51
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: Alice Springs. I don't care. I mean there's where our

52
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: hands are tired now, so we have to travel in Australia.

53
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: If you want to travel, I just want to go

54
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: to the sky well that we can't get to personal moment,

55
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: but we will. We're hopefully going to shoot there well

56
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: this year for next year's race, because it looks like

57
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: borders aren't going to open overseas anytime soon. So I've

58
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: got a hit list of places longer than my arm

59
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: where we want to go and my bags are still

60
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: a packed, so we are ready to shoot again off

61
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: the success hopefully of tonight. But Alice Springs, the sky

62
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: in the middle of the country, our sky at night

63
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: and in the day is breathtaking. You can see every

64
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: single star. There is a calmness about it. When you're

65
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: out there, you are off the grid. But you're not.

66
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: If you know what I mean, you're out there and

67
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: you're not checking your phone every two minutes. Wild animals everywhere.

68
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: I was telling this story to my family, want to

69
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: get back. When I speak to friends I have in

70
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: America or Europe, they you know, they think kangaroos and

71
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: EMUs are just jumping around Sydney. I think we've just

72
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: got wild animals everywhere in the middle of the country.

73
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: There are animals everywhere. Yeah, I want to say there's

74
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: too many, but there's not too many. There are animals everywhere.

75
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: Everywhere's breathtaking. The escarpment's crazy, and there's a lot of

76
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: the people. The people. People are sold of the earth.

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: People and good coffee. What else do you want?

78
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: Coffee?

79
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: People and coffee, maybe a bit of an Oh, you

80
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: don't need it out there because we're all was good.

81
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: The thing about EMUs, I didn't realize how many as

82
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: we had. I knew we had a lot of kangaroos,

83
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: but even when we got down to Port Lincoln, I

84
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: mean places in Adelaide obviously, but the middle of the

85
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: country and the top of the country Man.

86
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: And the giant a hole.

87
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: So the cassewary was the ahle.

88
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: The cassewary is aggressives are all right, It's just like

89
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: a big chicken. Yeah, I can't defend themselves. Nice to eat,

90
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: I have eaten am you egg? Yeah it's quite much.

91
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: It's quite rich, isn't it.

92
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: We had a challenge. I don't want to give too

93
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: much away, but we had to up the any and

94
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: the challenges this year because we couldn't. Language communication is

95
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: the key for overseas. The language barrier means teams go

96
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: off the grid or stay on the grid. They're late

97
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: to the pit stop or there early. But we had

98
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: a challenge where we went to an amy farm. Ami

99
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Logic had a dubbo where teams had to gradually. They

100
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: started with a quale egg. I went to a chicken egg,

101
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: to a duck egg, and then ended up at an

102
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: emu egg. Now an emu egg, I think is I

103
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: could be. It's about fourteen times the size of a

104
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: normal egg, and that many sort of yolk, but there's

105
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: no you know, when you have the yolk and then

106
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: the white part of the age emu egg is all yolk.

107
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: So it's all yolk. So when I had the emu egg,

108
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: I didn't need to eat for about three days. There

109
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: was so much protein in them. It is thick. Even

110
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: challenges like that. We had a lot of eating challenge.

111
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: What if you're the host?

112
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: Why are you doing this challenge? Now? When I signed on,

113
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: I said to ten, give me the rains an idiots,

114
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: I'll do that.

115
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: Thest you supposed to be the caravan living the best party.

116
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: Of life, being fed grapes. When I got to Tasmania

117
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: this year and had to abseil seventy meters down a

118
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: one arm down a building and window wipe with the

119
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: other hand window wash, that was the moment. I've had

120
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: times in the show where I'm like, why am I

121
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: doing this? Why would I say this? The time in

122
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: Tasmania when I was at the top of the west

123
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: point of the casino, That's that was a moment where

124
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, I'm just.

125
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,360
