Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload, the podcast Last Weep Their Life. Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: welcome back to TV Reload. I want to thank you
Speaker 1: for clicking and downloading on today's episode with Hannah and
Speaker 1: Lawrence from MKR, which started last week on Channel seven.
Speaker 1: I always loved catching up with Hannah and you guys
Speaker 1: might remember me talking to her when she was on
Speaker 1: Big Brother, which is also on Channel seven a few
Speaker 1: years back. I honestly felt that we hadn't seen the
Speaker 1: end of her story, and it's really fantastic to see
Speaker 1: her back on television again. Hannah will talk about how
Speaker 1: she was cast, whether she applied or if she was
Speaker 1: actually approached. We will talk about the love story with
Speaker 1: Lawrence and how they got together. I will discuss the
Speaker 1: last two weeks of her watching the show back with
Speaker 1: Lawrence and now seeing what the other participants have been
Speaker 1: saying in their pieces to camera and whether or not
Speaker 1: that's offended either of them. You will get everything from
Speaker 1: if she was able to keep this show a secret
Speaker 1: from her Big Brother family, which judges she liked more
Speaker 1: out of Colin and Maneu. Guys, there's actually so much
Speaker 1: to talk talk about. With so many inside revelations, So
Speaker 1: sit back and relax as we unpack the wonderful world
Speaker 1: of MKR Australia, which you can now catch up on
Speaker 1: on seven Plus. Hello, Hello, Hello, I'm also here. Hi.
Speaker 2: Then hell are ya?
Speaker 1: I'm so good. And I was expecting it to be louder, Hannah,
Speaker 1: because I was used to being louder.
Speaker 3: You know what, if the house next to me wasn't
Speaker 3: so close, I would have been a lot louder and
Speaker 3: I would have been shouting.
Speaker 2: But I'm a bit too noisy.
Speaker 1: I always wondered how you were single for so long
Speaker 1: because I thought men would be able to hear you
Speaker 1: a block away.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know what it.
Speaker 1: Is that, Lawrence? Is that what you responded to?
Speaker 4: Yes, I just I saw the birds fly out of
Speaker 4: the trees, and I was like, hang on a minute,
Speaker 4: and then I just followed the echo.
Speaker 2: Then hot Hannah appeared in the distance.
Speaker 1: You know, That's how I know it. But yeah, Hannah,
Speaker 1: that's how I know you. I actually know you as
Speaker 1: hot Hannah because you were like the most attractive girl
Speaker 1: on your series of Big Brother.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, shut up, Yes, heay telling Lawrence how
Speaker 3: hot I am?
Speaker 5: To tell me? Any more.
Speaker 1: But you know, Hannah, it seems like a lot has
Speaker 1: changed since we last spoke, and that does mean you, Lawrence,
Speaker 1: how do you feel like the last time Australia saw
Speaker 1: you you were locked in the house and now here
Speaker 1: you are on MKR.
Speaker 3: Oh, honestly, I'm so excited to be back on TV
Speaker 3: and it's such a different experience. I've now loved up,
Speaker 3: got the love of my life and I'm cooking and
Speaker 3: it feels the real to be honest, What.
Speaker 1: About you, Lawrence? Is it so real for you? Are
Speaker 1: you still locked in?
Speaker 5: Oh? I'm one hundred percent locked in.
Speaker 4: I think it's that's walking into this show as a
Speaker 4: new experience with Hannah already doing something along the same
Speaker 4: lines like and knowing that no matter what, we're walking
Speaker 4: out together.
Speaker 5: So for me, it's just yeah, it's just an awesome experience, Lawrence.
Speaker 1: Was Hannah being annoying though, being like, you know, I've
Speaker 1: been here before for hair flick, I understand reality TV
Speaker 1: and sort of teaching you or guiding you.
Speaker 4: I think actually I would say she was actually really
Speaker 4: good about it. She could have been way worse, more
Speaker 4: of like a man's plaining sort of situation. But she
Speaker 4: just like just helped just guide the process, and I
Speaker 4: trusted her fully too. I just said, look, you know
Speaker 4: this world, I don't. I just at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, Hannah's best advice was just be who you are,
Speaker 4: and at the end of the day, the only thing
Speaker 4: that matters is that we love each other and that
Speaker 4: we're in this together and it's an amazing experience.
Speaker 5: And we just kept going back to that when the
Speaker 5: times got tough.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that it literally melts my heart. I
Speaker 1: don't know whether to vomit or to cry.
Speaker 5: Oh, just let it out.
Speaker 2: It actually makes me stick. How much I love Lawrence,
Speaker 2: So yeah, vomit.
Speaker 1: I love watching the two of you. The dynamic between
Speaker 1: you looks so amazing. I do want to ask you, though,
Speaker 1: did you make Lawrence watch Big Brother?
Speaker 3: Do you actually want to know a secret? I've never
Speaker 3: actually fully watched in my season and Big Brother.
Speaker 2: So no, I didn't.
Speaker 3: I think Lawrence is that interested in watching my own
Speaker 3: Big Brother.
Speaker 5: One of the other I've even watched anything.
Speaker 4: I think there's a few articles that Hannah laughed about
Speaker 4: and showed me pictures and stuff. But yeah, I just
Speaker 4: I look at things as like, unless it's something that
Speaker 4: informs our relationship, or it's something that you want me
Speaker 4: to know. Everything I need to know about you is
Speaker 4: happening like when we're together now and family and.
Speaker 5: All that sort of stuff. So I just haven't looked
Speaker 5: at it.
Speaker 3: But all my big brother crew are behind me for
Speaker 3: this show, like we're in a group message and we
Speaker 3: all still chat and they all messaged me last night
Speaker 3: and they were watching, which is beautiful. So I've still
Speaker 3: got that great connection with everyone from each brother, which
Speaker 3: I love.
Speaker 1: I heard that. I heard that you're in the group chat.
Speaker 1: I think you sent a photo at some point that
Speaker 1: was quite cryptic and it melted the chat down because
Speaker 1: you didn't explain what you were doing, but it was
Speaker 1: very clear that you were doing television again. And then everyone,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, well obviously fucking jealous. I mean, Kieran's probably
Speaker 1: still crying about it.
Speaker 3: Tell anyone. I didn't tell anyone what I was doing.
Speaker 3: I was like, I think I sent a photo in
Speaker 3: like a makeup chain. I was like, yes, where I am,
Speaker 3: and then I just gave no clues.
Speaker 1: I think I heard about it. Well, I mean putting
Speaker 1: that aside, I do want to ask you about how
Speaker 1: you both met. I mean, the genuine connection is very
Speaker 1: visible on screen. So I'm assuming that there's some sort
Speaker 1: of notebook storyline, you know, a bit of a backstory.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a unicorn.
Speaker 4: I think there were doves we happened to, like just
Speaker 4: the whole universe just made it.
Speaker 2: Happens, just a line us.
Speaker 1: No, it was.
Speaker 5: It was just one of those really.
Speaker 4: Cool experiences where it's not through tech. It's not through technology.
Speaker 4: I've never used dating apps, every dating app under the sun,
Speaker 4: so she wouldn't have foun she wouldn't have found me anyway. Basically,
Speaker 4: my roommate at the time, who's my best mate? She
Speaker 4: is dating Hannah's brother, and so this whole thing of
Speaker 4: for months, I'd heard about this family dinner where Hannah
Speaker 4: is this huge character, constantly talking very loud. And then
Speaker 4: one day Hannah had enough and she basically said, I
Speaker 4: just want I want a guy.
Speaker 5: I want him to be nice ball and I.
Speaker 3: Don't know what I had some sexy you name it.
Speaker 3: Also six foot, he's got to be over six foot.
Speaker 3: If not, I'm not even looking at him.
Speaker 4: So she couldn't get all that list, but she got
Speaker 4: most of it, and basically my friend brought came back
Speaker 4: from family dinner and was like, Hannah's actually keen.
Speaker 5: I've seen a picture of you. Let's make this happen.
Speaker 2: I was so keen.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is on cong As soon as
Speaker 3: I saw that picture, I zoomed straight into his face
Speaker 3: and I was like, he's it.
Speaker 2: He's the one. He's so hot, climb a tree.
Speaker 1: He's so tall.
Speaker 2: I love it. His height got me too. Well.
Speaker 4: The funny thing is, here's like a little inside story.
Speaker 4: Hannah has built her house and that one of the
Speaker 4: prerequisites for the main bathroom is that the shower.
Speaker 5: Head had to fit a six foot plus dude in it.
Speaker 4: I remember I walked into that shower and was like,
Speaker 4: this is the first time a shower head doesn't hit
Speaker 4: my head.
Speaker 5: And she's like, that's because I manifested you.
Speaker 3: I planned this. I've felt my house so I could
Speaker 3: marry a tall man. Everything's for a tall man, because
Speaker 3: I need a man.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I was talking to Colin yesterday about you, Hannah, and
Speaker 1: I was saying about how your best friends your grandma,
Speaker 1: and I said, I think that's because your grandma's got
Speaker 1: hearing aids. She can turn them down so that you're.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: Yeh.
Speaker 5: I listened to the podcast this morning.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well great, I loved it.
Speaker 5: You had nice things to say, though cold love that guy.
Speaker 2: I haven't listened yet, but I'm going to today.
Speaker 1: Oh well, there's a listen. That's what I need. I
Speaker 1: need all the listeners I can get. So, guys, I
Speaker 1: want to know how does MKR come up for you? Like,
Speaker 1: were you approached, did you apply? Did you want this
Speaker 1: to be your hard launch for your relationship for the
Speaker 1: rest of Australia.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was planning the hard launch now.
Speaker 3: I got approached and I pretty much said to the
Speaker 3: casting agent.
Speaker 2: I gave him a few watchs.
Speaker 3: I was like, I can do it with my auntie,
Speaker 3: I can do it with my best friend, or I
Speaker 3: can do it with my partner. And then he got
Speaker 3: back to me he's like your partner and I was like, yes, secretly,
Speaker 3: I always wanted my.
Speaker 2: Partners to do it all along. I actually call him Loven.
Speaker 2: That's the name.
Speaker 1: All being weird if we start calling him lovernce, No,
Speaker 1: we love it.
Speaker 5: No, it doesn't need to take off. Let's let's keep that.
Speaker 3: No, it's taken off with me and at my work.
Speaker 3: Keep it he just approached me and then yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Just went from there, Like I obviously I love eating.
Speaker 3: I love food fridge in my life. I wish I
Speaker 3: looked more into the show that before I went in,
Speaker 3: about realizing.
Speaker 2: How much cooking you're gonna have to do. There's more
Speaker 2: cooking than eating. So uh yeah, there was so much fun.
Speaker 3: Honestly, it was probably the best experience I've ever done,
Speaker 3: and like being out to do that with Lawrence, Like
Speaker 3: we got to travel around Australia. We pretty much had
Speaker 3: a food festival around Australia. Like that was, oh, oh
Speaker 3: my god, like could anything be better?
Speaker 2: And with Colin and maneu I.
Speaker 1: Love the scream by the way. I mean I think
Speaker 1: I heard the scream as you were recording that day.
Speaker 1: It was very loud.
Speaker 4: What's funny is some people online are like just like, oh,
Speaker 4: it's so fake and no on screams like that.
Speaker 5: That is literally Hannah Lawrence did. Yeah, we didn't know
Speaker 5: when they were coming in. We had no idea when
Speaker 5: they were coming in.
Speaker 4: Then all of a sudden you turn around and there's
Speaker 4: Colin Maneue, and then how to just.
Speaker 3: Drop the I get scared really easy, Like Lawrence always
Speaker 3: scares me at home and I just drop anything I
Speaker 3: have and like scream.
Speaker 2: He needs to make a montage with me screaming at home.
Speaker 2: Oh God, that sounds good.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, we'll.
Speaker 1: Put that on a true crime podcast. What makes this
Speaker 1: show the right fit for the both of you? Because
Speaker 1: you kind of let something like, Hannah, when I thought
Speaker 1: about you doing this, I thought she's going to be
Speaker 1: great tasting other people's food, not so great at cooking,
Speaker 1: and you kind of have just teased us with a
Speaker 1: bit of that. So what makes you both the right
Speaker 1: fit for the show?
Speaker 5: I don't think I am the right fingy you.
Speaker 2: So I passion for food and I think since we Lawrence,
Speaker 2: you can talk about it.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: I think it's more.
Speaker 4: When I like it was this situation where Hannah just
Speaker 4: kind of came home and said, how did you feel
Speaker 4: about doing MKR? And I was like, Hey, I've only
Speaker 4: just started cooking because of you. This is a whole
Speaker 4: other level. This is not just cooking for your family,
Speaker 4: This is full blown top chefs in the world, and
Speaker 4: then the whole of Australia watching, So there was a
Speaker 4: lot of fear there and then it was just a
Speaker 4: thing of well we do love food. We definitely love food.
Speaker 4: I've got a new found love for food since meeting
Speaker 4: Hannah and her family. So then at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, it was like, okay, what scares us? This
Speaker 4: as us and we're very much both. If there's one
Speaker 4: thing we agree on, if saying scares us.
Speaker 5: We just go do it, jump out.
Speaker 4: And we've got very different, very different cooking approaches. Hannah is,
Speaker 4: don't measure anything. Everything's going to be okay, instinct only,
Speaker 4: don't look go for it. I'm obviously very new to cooking,
Speaker 4: so I'm very much like, what's the recipe? Say how
Speaker 4: many minutes? What's the millimeters? And I hate that.
Speaker 3: And we didn't realize that we filmed the show. Oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, we should have cooked more together because our
Speaker 3: cooking starts to bite chalk and cheese, and I tell
Speaker 3: you what, it creates a great to scene.
Speaker 1: I was kind of expecting, though, at some point that
Speaker 1: you were going to get out like a cake of
Speaker 1: two minute noodles and the two of you were going
Speaker 1: to burn them. But oh, that's not what we do.
Speaker 2: We're not far off, so I feel like we wouldn't.
Speaker 5: Be far off.
Speaker 3: Honestly, we for us two like learning to cook, we
Speaker 3: out of everyone in the competition. We have been cooking
Speaker 3: together the least. And what we produce is we are
Speaker 3: so proud of ourselves. We look back every single day
Speaker 3: now and we're like, I can't believe we did that,
Speaker 3: Like we are so happy and so proud of ourself.
Speaker 3: We just we just can't wait to see we can't
Speaker 3: make the show Australia what we cook.
Speaker 1: My earphone just dropped out. I'm like your grandma now
Speaker 1: without my earphones.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you need them around me.
Speaker 4: I think it's because your headphones ran away that Jessica
Speaker 4: bells are too high.
Speaker 1: See Lawrence, this is why you're good television, because you
Speaker 1: have a very good sense of humor. You know, guys,
Speaker 1: the show is notorious for its dynamic personalities, and we
Speaker 1: have seen heroes villains. I'm curious about how you fall
Speaker 1: into it when it comes to the personality type.
Speaker 4: I think, to be honest, I've said to Hannah because
Speaker 4: like obviously big Brother was in the in the past,
Speaker 4: and I spend day and day out with her and
Speaker 4: every day there's something funny to watch. She says, something's funny.
Speaker 4: She's just such such an interesting human being that, like
Speaker 4: I just go. Her dynamic is to bring some entertainment
Speaker 4: and I was happy just to watch.
Speaker 5: It was so fun. I think Hannah's definitely for me
Speaker 5: is the energy and like.
Speaker 4: To be honest, everyone on the table is beautiful, Like
Speaker 4: obviously everyone has their opinions, but you know, you're not
Speaker 4: all meant to get along. In a normal situation, not
Speaker 4: these characters wouldn't all be sitting at the.
Speaker 5: Same dinner table.
Speaker 4: And that's what makes it so interesting and fun to
Speaker 4: watch because you've just got people that are from all
Speaker 4: different walks of life, different perspectives, different personality, and you're
Speaker 4: stuck at a dinner table feeding food.
Speaker 1: Hannah, do you have any conflict with anyone? Like how
Speaker 1: do you go like you and your best behavior?
Speaker 5: Do you?
Speaker 2: Oh? Do you know what my problem is? My mouth?
Speaker 2: And I did put my mouth into it quite a
Speaker 2: few times.
Speaker 3: You're going to have to watch this space because let
Speaker 3: me tell you, I'm not very quiet at the table.
Speaker 1: Sonya said that you have come in like a god
Speaker 1: on a stick in the first episode. You know, because
Speaker 1: you're filming all day, you don't know what's going to
Speaker 1: go to wear, and then finally you get to see
Speaker 1: what people are saying to their camera. What did you
Speaker 1: think about it when you were watching it this week
Speaker 1: when she made that comment, Oh.
Speaker 3: I love it, God want a stick it? You couldn't
Speaker 3: explain me anymore. That's great.
Speaker 2: That's how I actually picture myself on a stick that's.
Speaker 1: Hot, Lauren's no question to you on that one.
Speaker 5: On the freid week, no answers on that one.
Speaker 1: We'll step to the side and ask you something more PG.
Speaker 1: Which is Manu or Colin Lawrence? What have you got
Speaker 1: for me? Who is your favorite chef? I don't want
Speaker 1: you to say that it's both. Oh that's brutal, brutal.
Speaker 4: I love Colin.
Speaker 2: I know it's not about me, but Colin fight.
Speaker 1: That's great with lock.
Speaker 4: If I was having a lads night out, it would
Speaker 4: be Colin. If I was having a family dinner at.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll take that. I'll take both of those. We're
Speaker 1: running out of time, and I have two more questions
Speaker 1: for you. What is something that you guys are excited
Speaker 1: about watching that you filmed that we haven't seen yet.
Speaker 1: Can you tease us with something that you guys are
Speaker 1: a little bit excited to watch.
Speaker 2: Our instant restaurant. Okay, honestly, out instant restaurant. You guys
Speaker 2: are going to die.
Speaker 3: It's insane and what we pull off watch this space
Speaker 3: if you.
Speaker 4: Want to see two people going for it that aren't
Speaker 4: used to cooking together, that's the episode.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's I think that sounds like your only fans account,
Speaker 1: but we'll leave that as well. What is something from
Speaker 1: behind the scenes? And Lawrence, you can take this one
Speaker 1: if you want. What is something from behind the scenes?
Speaker 1: Something that we as an audience who have loved and
Speaker 1: watched the show for years.
Speaker 3: When we're not filming cooking, we are practicing back at
Speaker 3: our hotel, cooking, cooking, cooking.
Speaker 2: That's all we do. We practice and.
Speaker 5: Then we film and I'm opening a lot of windows
Speaker 5: to let the smoke out.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm obsessed with the two of you guys.
Speaker 1: Can I just say I'm so excited about this adventure
Speaker 1: for the both of you. I think, whilst cooking might
Speaker 1: not be your strongest suit in this deck of cards,
Speaker 1: I do think that you're very entertaining and Australia is
Speaker 1: going to fall in love with both of you and
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see where this You know, where
Speaker 1: this story goes.
Speaker 2: Thank you well, hopefully next time interview interviewing us for
Speaker 2: our wedding.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, well have your own little what Martig and
Speaker 1: Jess get married? Okay, well, there's a good reference point.
Speaker 1: We will. We'll come back for Hannah and Lawrence getting married.
Speaker 1: I think that's a plate a two hour, a two
Speaker 1: night special.
Speaker 3: Oh god, no, we need five nights the whole work
Speaker 3: week our wedding.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll all be there for the
Speaker 1: five nights, but I'll definitely be for the after party.
Speaker 5: Oh you're more than welcome.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, thank you so much for being so generous.
Speaker 1: Enjoy chatting to the media about the show, and thank
Speaker 1: you so much. I really appreciate.
Speaker 3: Its nice to hear from you.
Speaker 1: Pers well, I know, it's so nice to hear your voice.
Speaker 1: And I turned the volume down only halfway. I thought
Speaker 1: I'd have to turn it down more than that, but.
Speaker 2: Oh, good, good, that's good to hear. You're a llegend.
Speaker 5: Thank you you guys.
