00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 2: The block is back.

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: This is going to be a beauty this Sunday, and

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: it's fans versus favorites. We've got a couple of teams

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: that you may recognize from previous seasons up against some

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: fans and the man, the host Scotty kids shame.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: Oh, hello, guys, I'm really sorry. I can't be with you.

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 3: Reason Scotty. Before we get into how you're holding up

9
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: in lockdown? How are you holding up with technology now

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 3: that times have changed to we're on screens. I saw

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: one of your kids helping you with the log in there, mate,

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: everything under control.

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 4: I thought I had everything under the control and I

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 4: just screamed out to my son Bill.

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Be well, you faxed us first of all and said

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: I can still do the interview. I said, no, we've

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: gone past that, Scotty.

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: We're on a computers and we've got you on the

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: page a boat.

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: I had the fact because we're teledex machine going.

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: Down A Scotty, has lockdown been okay for you? I

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: know in previous time them with a lot of Aussies.

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: At the moment, there's been some injuries because people can

24
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: think they think they can do some DIY jobs around

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: the house, but they're underqualified. What have you been up to?

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I've been doing a little bit of work

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: as well.

28
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 5: I've just plodding along and I'm sitting at my desk,

29
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 5: which I built this kitchen a couple of years ago,

30
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 5: and we put an office in. My wife, who runs

31
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 5: our business and everything like, actually sits there and my

32
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 5: desk is this side, and I never really sit here

33
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 5: because I've got nothing to do, and I've been working

34
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 5: around on my laptop and the kids are coming in

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 5: going holy hell, like, good on your dad.

36
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: You're at the desk and you're doing some work. They

37
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: know that I'm just putting my bets on down and

38
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: I'm on sports fan.

39
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: I don't know, well, the commandment do everything as if

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: I'm doing the books or something.

41
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: You're doing measurements or something for Reno.

42
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 3: Well this time last year, Scotty in lockdown. I know

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: you put in the new gym out the back. Have

45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: Room I had, I've been.

46
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: I just do a little like a thirty minute session

47
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: each day and.

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 6: I go for a walk with the dog for about

49
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 6: five ks. Yeah, you know, like I've actually.

50
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 4: Haven't had a drink this week. I've decided to go

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: dry for the click till Friday.

52
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I.

53
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: Haven't done that since nineteen seventy four, So that's just

54
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 2: pretty good.

55
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 3: When Scotty goes for a walk, he just walks to

56
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: the Watson's Bay Hotel, which is closed, and stares at.

57
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: It with a tear running down his cheek.

58
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: I walked past, go up to camp Cave and the

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: thing and come back around home.

60
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: We we do a five k walk. We've got one

61
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: of those apps.

62
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: Good on your mate, I love it. Hey, let's talk

63
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: about the block.

64
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: Keep going. You're doing well.

65
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: You're doing really well, mate, You're looking great at the moment.

66
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the block because the promos, it looks

67
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: like there's a fair few blow up. And the big

68
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: thing that we need to focus on here, Scotty, is

69
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: that we've got Ronnie and Georgia have come out and

70
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: said this will be the biggest cheating scandal that you

71
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: will see on a reality show ever. So is there

72
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: a few hour accusations being thrown around Scotty.

73
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: Look, this is actually beyond the normal cheating scandal. It's

74
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: it's pretty big. Even we were shot by it.

75
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 5: And of course, you know, we sort of know wh

76
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: who's done this, but it's up to the congestants to

77
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 5: find out who that is.

78
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: And it's it's.

79
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 4: It's pretty, it's pretty ordinary from the start, but it

80
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: ruffles a lot of feathers right from the beginning.

81
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 6: This is happening on like day one and two, and yeah,

82
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 6: it's great.

83
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: We got back and thought, what the hell's going on here?

84
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 6: So but we, as we always do, we let things

85
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 6: play out organically and.

86
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: Let them work it out. And of course it blows up.

87
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 6: And we've got the old guys and Mitchell, Bark and

88
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 6: Ronnie and George, so they think that they sort of

89
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 6: know what's going on, and then the new bigs don't

90
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 6: know what's going on, and there's a lot of tension.

91
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 6: And look, it continues throughout the series, but not as

92
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 6: bad as what you see on the promos.

93
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: But the first couple of works is a forker.

94
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 6: I blew up as well, but I was told not

95
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 6: to say anything.

96
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: I love it when you blow up these you get

97
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: on your high horse when someone's on site, when then

98
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to be on site. Well, I love

99
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: the old school trading and Scotty Cam coming out into

100
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: the best.

101
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, you know, once the trades were tradesman, you've

102
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: got to get stuck in.

103
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: Scott Even if you go back to say, the first

104
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: series of the Block there was a doctor that won

105
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: it by the name of doctor Andrew Roches. Everyone forgets,

106
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: but back in that series there was even an issue

107
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: over where boundary lines were on the property. Can you

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: tell me, as a builder, what is the rule that

109
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: if a boundary line is moved and not corrected, when

110
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: does that land become the other person's property? Is it

111
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: six years or something?

112
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: Look up? To be honest, I don't know, mate. I

113
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: think that it's a You can.

114
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 4: Actually turn up and get a survey done of your

115
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 4: neighbor's property and say your fence is one hundred and

116
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: fifty mili on the my land, Yeah.

117
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: And you can get that moved.

118
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: Oh really, that's a good way to start a relationship.

119
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: Someone's going to bring up and go that's all. That's

120
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: not true.

121
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 6: But the the you know, I certainly know when we're

122
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 6: doing building, and we've done renovations in the past, we've

123
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 6: got the survey in and found that the fences on

124
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 6: the you know, turn.

125
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: On ad meal on the wrong side.

126
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, there for it.

127
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 6: But you go, mate, I want my land back, or

128
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 6: you say to your neigh but listen, let's just chee

129
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 6: believe it as because it means we've got to build

130
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 6: a new fence.

131
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure we are. We going to see ridiculous amounts

132
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: at the end of this we I mean, everyone's been

133
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: watching the real estate market Scotty go absolutely bunter over

134
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: the last six months. So reserve that would obviously mean

135
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: that reserves go up on these houses and then to

136
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: make money they're going to have to sell for even

137
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: higher Scotty.

138
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 6: No, the reserves are set before we start, based on

139
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 6: the plans. Yeah, so therefore the twenty percent increase roughly

140
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 6: is what's happening down in Melbourne. And remember that Hampton

141
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 6: down there is probably like a Hampton's like a double

142
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 6: Bay and next door to Brighton and Brighton's like a Bellvue.

143
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: Hill or something where Karen's from.

144
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 6: Yes, there's going to be some money in these armes.

145
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 6: And when they're finished, guys, they're just incredible. I know

146
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 6: we say bigger and better, We're not bigger, but it's better.

147
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 3: This year.

148
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: The houses are incredible They're enormous and they're really dumb

149
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 2: for you.

150
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 6: I remember walking down the cul Deer Sack on the

151
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 6: last week of the show with the front yards being done. Yeah,

152
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 6: I thought, hell, like, these look amazing. They look as

153
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 6: though they've been there forever but built yesterday. Yeah.

154
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: I did not wait for these sciting. It's one of

155
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: my favorite shows of all time, The Block. It starts

156
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,040
