43
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,760

44
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,639

Speaker 4: Which is classic working class pub and you know lots

49
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 4: of Phillip Island is my holiday island because there's caravans,

50
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 4: yeah yeah, and fishing boats and that's my chance.

51
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 5: It's not too swinky, is it. It's not like going

52
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 5: down to the peninsula.

53
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: Well that's exactly because not being from Melbourne. I just

54
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 4: thought the holiday area was the Peninsula because run of ports.

55
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: In Sorranto and things like that.

56
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: Different world.

57
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 4: Then I come down the other side, blue collar island. Yeah,

58
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: that's what it is, and that's my is.

59
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: You're not getting a jumping pillow in Sorrentos.

60
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 5: But a clear day you can see like we were

61
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 5: in Blagarry the other day and you could see right

62
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 5: across to Phillip Island.

63
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: It's really not that far across the bak No, no.

64
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: Not at all, and you can beautiful vista. It's only

65
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes in the ferry over to Sorrento.

66
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's amazing.

67
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: So let's talk the block set up this year. Is

68
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: it an old resort.

69
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: It's an old resort.

70
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: It had eight cabins in a manager's house, and it

71
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: had a lagoon style resort and a tennis court, had

72
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 4: a little row that went through. So what we did

73
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: was two cabins, We built a massive, beautiful family home

74
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 4: over the top of the cabins, demolish those, incorporated them

75
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: in and then so we.

76
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: Had four incorporated the cabins.

77
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 4: Well they sort of we built over the top and

78
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: attitude them and it ended up being this beautiful family

79
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: home over the top of a double set of caps,

80
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 4: so joined two together basically, but two stories and all

81
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. And so we got four of those,

82
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: and then the manager's house is the fifth house. During

83
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: the show, I had another house at Cow's there that

84
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 4: the network rendered me impalatial fifty bedroom house.

85
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 5: That's great because they do often say, oh, there's a crisis,

86
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 5: We've got to go to Scotty's house and they roll

87
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 5: up to.

88
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 6: Your Now I just readed a normal home that fits

89
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 6: my children when they visit, A couple of bedrooms so

90
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 6: that everybody can fit in because as they come down

91
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 6: to see me always I'm away for three months from

92
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 6: home because I never go back.

93
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: Blew me away with the block because when you guys

94
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: were doing hamp Denise it was around the corner from me.

95
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: Actually funny still, remember when sand A Blaze came in

96
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: and we're talking about the Hamptonisee block last year and

97
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: I said, which house did you like? And she has

98
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: look at it's not my area, and everyone laughed and

99
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, SHANEA, I live two streets from.

100
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: The area.

101
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: That the people at the local just wiped out all

102
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,360

103
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,920

Speaker 3: You know what.

122
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: It's embarrassing for the whole family because.

123
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 5: You see some people that have a very good reputation,

124
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 5: like you're Scotty, and they go on Dancing with the Stars,

125
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 5: and you just sit there thinking, what were you thinking?

126
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like I think for me, I'm sixty two years old,

127
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: and I thought, I.

128
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: Said to my manager, if I ever just wake up

129
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 4: one day and say I want to go to the

130
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: jungle or I want to go dancing or I want.

131
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: To just shoot me, just knock me out.

132
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: I'm done. I'm hanging on the book.

133
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: How what were you when you first got the TV?

134
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: Will you do the math chase?

135
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: I was about thirty six.

136
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: But before that TV just wasn't even on your radar.

137
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: You were a chippy, was Jimmy? Yeah, from seventeen years

138
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: old till fifty. So I still worked as a chippy

139
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: till I was fifty years old.

140
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 2: Do you ever catch up with the old building mates?

141
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

142
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bricklayer sitting there reminiscing that day, going why

143
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: didn't they pick me?

144
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: No? I was much better looking for bricklay, and I'm

145
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: not very good looking.

146
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 3: So did they pick you out of all your trading mates?

147
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 4: Well, there was a producer in the pub at our

148
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: pub that we drank out every night.

149
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: It's called the mill.

150
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 4: Hill Hotel, Sydney, Sydney, and it's a tavern now, but

151
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: it used to be an old pub with tiles as

152
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 4: a ripping pub, and and he was in there and

153
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: he needed to find a carpenter for the show that

154
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 4: he was screen testing for, and he was there with

155
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 4: his girlfriend. I was just there drinking and chatting as

156
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: I did every afternoon after work, and he said.

157
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: Mate, do you want to do a screen test for

158
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: a TV show that.

159
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: We're going to did all your mates ribbon at the time.

160
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: I know they surely didn't know much about because I said, no.

161
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 4: Ma's I don't want to really do that. Anyway, he
