  Speaker 1: Well then let's get the daily check in with our
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: fearless leader.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Billy. Dude, what's up?
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Oh man? You know you want to talk about a
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: medical emergency? I came very close to one a couple
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: of minutes ago. Right outside my tent window, there was
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: a showdown between two hippos, wilderbeest, a herd of elephants
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: and baboons, all staring each other down. Now you need
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: to understand they're all like twenty feet outside my window.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: So did were they going to attack each other?
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Well, the hippos were stalking. They're in the water and
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: they keep their eyes above the water. This is how
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: they sneak up on their prey. It's just incredible. Would
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: w I'm witnessing out here were.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: They attack each other? An attack on you? Hippo was
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: looking at Bill.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well there's another story I can tell you last night.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: First of all, there's no darkness like the darkness of
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Africa at night. I mean, you can't even see the
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: hand in front of your face.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: So, there was one point last night and again, by
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: the way, in case you didn't hear, yes, I slept
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: in a tent in Africa.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I noticed, Billy, I noticed that you are fully clothed
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: in bed.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Well, understand, I've never slept in a tent in Boston. Right. So,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: at one point in the night, because I was struggling
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: going to sleep, I thought I was hearing a group
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: of elephants passed by my tent. Couldn't be sure because
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: it's so dark. Sure enough, I go outside in the morning.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: There's elephant dung right outside my windown. My god, do
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: you think I'm making this up?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: How big was that pile?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: It is?
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: It's just a pile of dung, you know, what I'm
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: talking about, much like this show. But anyway, there was
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: another moment last night, having the fact that it was
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: our first night in the tent. And by the way,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I need to point out, we're at the Hide Large
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: here at Colombi National Park and this place is amazing,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: but we have a bathtub outside the tent. Okay, so
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Michelle and I decided to have tubby time. Suddenly, now understand,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: we're in the darkness in the wild, and suddenly I'm
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: sitting there in the tub naked as you should be
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: in a tub with your wife, and it suddenly hit me.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, I'm not Oh there goes
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: an entire herd of wildebees right by me. I say, Michelle,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I get again out of the tub. I don't feel
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I could be in a position to protect you if
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: anything should happen, right, So I get up, naked, go
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: back into the tent, and without thinking I locked the
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: door behind me. So now I was worried about protecting
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: her outside. Now I left her outside in a tub, naked,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: locked out from the tent.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Oh classic, Yeah, cla. Although we know that she's protecting
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you on the trip. I mean, that's pretty clear.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Well, I always said, all I have to do is
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: outrun her. So did you see any of the posts
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: that Michelle put together that I could produce her?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: What about the giants lighter?
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Okay, here we go. You're ready for this one. Now,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I understand. We go out on safari at five in
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the morning, five thirty in the morning, right, So we
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: pull over for breakfast, you know, coffee in the middle
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: of the wild at a watering hole. Right. So we
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: pull up the jeeps, we get out, and the staff
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: you know, serve a great breakfast. And we're standing around
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: and every time we're riding around, I'm looking at these
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: giant bones, you know, scattered around the park. And I
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: turned to Michelle and I said, you know, I like
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: to get the story behind the bones. So our guide,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: who by the way, is a real hot shit, sorry
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: to swear, So Peter takes Peter takes I'm very nervous.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Peter takes us over to the bones and he said, yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: and I decided, you know what I want. Michelle says, hey, Billy,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: hold up the bones, right. So I hold up the
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: bones right next to me, and then Peter runs over
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: and he said, wait a minute, let me look at something,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: and he looks inside the bone that I'm holding very casually,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: and there's a black widow spider in the from my hand. Really, yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: you have NOTHI Lisa, how are you? I'm good.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I'm like, we're kind of worried about you.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I have a genuine question, Billy, what is the airhorn
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: doing for you at night?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Air horn? Yeah?
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Good thing you brought up the airhorn, because you know
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: they leave the airhorn in the room, and at what
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: point do I use the air horn? Right? So when
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I ran back in from tubby time, you know, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: climbed in bed, got under the covers and picked up
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: the airporn and Michelle finally walked and she says, what
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: the hell are you doing? So I found out that,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: let's say, hypothetically, a ba boom decides he or she
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: wanted to join us in the tent. Well, I got
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: a sound a horn or possibly a lion that it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: a little too cozy for me, you know what I'm
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: talking about? So is it going to scare them away?
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: I ran and got the here, So what's up? What's
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: on tap for tomorrow?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: What are you guys doing tomorrow?
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: You mean, oh, we have we have another safari in
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: five minutes. Oh really, we're on the move here, Okay,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: we're constantly on the go. But yeah, we did one
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: at five point thirty this morning. It was awesome. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: by the way, I'm learning so much about conservation here
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: in Africa, and a lot of the trip is about that,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: about the protection of the animals, the protection of the
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: environment and the ecosystem. And Danal and Emma are are
• 6:38
