Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload the podcast last week.
Speaker 2: Am I how would I describe a television set, oh Man.
Speaker 3: From a headline grabbing point of view, the hack producer
Speaker 3: me says one hundred percent put him in.
Speaker 2: Welcome back guys to TV Reload. My name's Benjamin Norris
Speaker 2: and on this podcast I go behind the scenes with
Speaker 2: the biggest players in television.
Speaker 3: Yeah, great questions.
Speaker 1: The show's about the game. There's a lot of great
Speaker 1: television out there in Australia.
Speaker 2: But I've also got to go behind the scenes with writers.
Speaker 2: The truth is, when I started writing it, it wasn't
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with the news and casting agents.
Speaker 3: They know from a casting point of view what they need.
Speaker 2: And editors because that's what we do as editors where
Speaker 2: storytellers them. Not to forget some incredible executive producers who
Speaker 2: are making some of the best TV content in Australia.
Speaker 2: I have been on the program since the beginning and
Speaker 2: it's kind of in my DNA. So thanks for joining
Speaker 2: me each week and I hope the podcast continues to
Speaker 2: give you real insight into the magic of television. Today.
Speaker 2: On the podcast, I have Kirsty and Jesse, who have
Speaker 2: proven to be a strong competitor on this year's massively
Speaker 2: successful season of The Block. Fans versus Favorites. Channel nine
Speaker 2: has served up a showdown of epic proportions in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one. As Australia's most successful renovations reality program, The
Speaker 2: Block grew the ratings to epic proportions and no one
Speaker 2: will be forgetting today's guests in a hurry together. Since
Speaker 2: they were sixteen and married for seven years, Kirsty and
Speaker 2: Jesse are a rock solid couple. Whatever they do, they
Speaker 2: give one hundred percent and being on the Block was
Speaker 2: no different. Coming from humble beginnings, they saw the competition
Speaker 2: as a huge opportunity to get ahead in life and
Speaker 2: very soon we will see them go to auction. Today
Speaker 2: we'll talk about their time on the show, their relationships
Speaker 2: with the other houses, and is Jesse a gay porn
Speaker 2: star from McDonald's diets to their thoughts on the negative
Speaker 2: comments online. We will get a front seat to the
Speaker 2: final fullhouse reveal this Sunday. However, let's get started with
Speaker 2: today's episode. I'd like to welcome Kirsty and Jesse from
Speaker 2: the Block to this week's TV reload.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I do feel sorry for Tenure Better because the
Speaker 3: amount of hate they've copped online is just out of
Speaker 3: this world.
Speaker 2: After twelve weeks of building the.
Speaker 1: Block block, they've already admitted they were just scared of
Speaker 1: getting kicked off the show using two thousand liters of paint.
Speaker 3: The headline makes it out like Jesse's been on gay
Speaker 3: porn sites.
Speaker 4: Our blockads A completed a whopping eighty eight crews.
Speaker 1: It took a while for me to get comfortable in
Speaker 1: front of a camera.
Speaker 3: It all comes down to this, the last week on
Speaker 3: the Block twenty twenty one. One thing that we knew
Speaker 3: if we could get on it would literally change our lives.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, how are you going good? Doing really well?
Speaker 2: And I have to start by saying congratulations on your
Speaker 2: house this season, I mean leading up to the final reveal.
Speaker 2: Are you proud of what you've been able to achieve
Speaker 2: so far?
Speaker 3: We are so so proud. We're actually in the blockhouse
Speaker 3: right now, gearing up waiting for auctions, and we just
Speaker 3: look around and we go, wow, this is amazing, Like
Speaker 3: we just literally cannot believe from where we've come from.
Speaker 1: What we've been especially in twelve weeks, you know, and
Speaker 1: a house this flash. We'd never even been in anything
Speaker 1: this fancy, you know, so too.
Speaker 3: Like we literally shopped that came up before the block.
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, so yeah, we see super proud mate.
Speaker 2: I think it's really interesting with there being favorites coming back,
Speaker 2: you know, people that are already established, it seems like, oh,
Speaker 2: you gravitate towards them to start with. But you guys
Speaker 2: with a sort of slow and steady race that came
Speaker 2: up and now everyone's talking about you. Is that kind
Speaker 2: of how you felt as well, like that you just
Speaker 2: were sort of slowly creeping up.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I kept saying, you know, in those first
Speaker 3: original weeks when we were doing like a guest bedroom,
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not going to waste my best
Speaker 3: ideas on a guest bedroom, and I'm not going to
Speaker 3: waste all our budget.
Speaker 1: And we knew we had such biggest bases coming up,
Speaker 1: like backyard especially that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we knew that where we wanted to put our
Speaker 3: money would be like the kitchen and the backyard and
Speaker 3: our basements. So yeah, we did start out slow and steady,
Speaker 3: and I think we probably weren't so much competition in
Speaker 3: the beginning, and it's funny now seeing we've come second
Speaker 3: on the leaderboard only by a few points. So we're
Speaker 3: really proud because we're huge fans of what the Favees do,
Speaker 3: and it's funny for us watching it back and seeing,
Speaker 3: you know, some of the things that you know, someone
Speaker 3: like Ronnie will say and I sit there and laugh,
Speaker 3: and I think for someone that always talks about how
Speaker 3: great they are in the competition and that they're the best,
Speaker 3: they're worried about what we're doing quite a lot. So
Speaker 3: it's actually funny for us.
Speaker 1: As a compliment. If they're worried about us, then yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll take it as a compliment, so they should be.
Speaker 2: What was the most surprising thing though about the filming
Speaker 2: process of the show.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess you go into it us, especially never
Speaker 3: done any kind of reality TV before, you just don't
Speaker 3: realize how full on it is. Like we used to
Speaker 3: sit at home and watch and we would kind of
Speaker 3: make fun of the contestants sometimes and go, what are
Speaker 3: these people crying about? Oh my god, they're crying about
Speaker 3: title choices, Like, surely there's bigger things going on in
Speaker 3: the world out there, but you don't realize just how
Speaker 3: hectic it is on the show, and how little sleep
Speaker 3: you survive, on.
Speaker 1: Just how overwhelming it is just having four or five
Speaker 1: crews of cameras and producers just constantly around you and
Speaker 1: on you and say, if you start to sleep up
Speaker 1: and make a mistake, more cameras arrive. So it was
Speaker 1: just really overwhelming and just all the pressures involved in that.
Speaker 1: I just wasn't prepared at all, mate. It was just
Speaker 1: really overwhelming, and you mix up with no sleep at all,
Speaker 1: being stressed and just stressed and instant decisions, you know,
Speaker 1: like you'd have three or four suppliers lined up one
Speaker 1: after another and they're saying, Okay, you've got till two
Speaker 1: o'clock to day to tell us where every skylight in
Speaker 1: this house is going. I'm like, mate, I haven't even
Speaker 1: got a floor plan yet. I don't even know where
Speaker 1: the rooms are. And he goes, well, figure it out.
Speaker 3: I remember when we had to measure our kitchen up
Speaker 3: and we're literally measuring dirt outside. I'm like, how we
Speaker 3: meant to measure where these kitchen cameras are going? We
Speaker 3: don't even have walls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So all those pressures, it was just overwhelming, is
Speaker 1: how i'd explain it.
Speaker 2: I just love that when the cameras turn up, that's
Speaker 2: sort of a sign. It's either things are going really
Speaker 2: well or they're going really bad.
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah. So Ronnie especially was always chasing the camera.
Speaker 1: He loved it, And every time I saw a camera,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, there was something bad's about to happen,
Speaker 1: you know, Like he just he loves the camera. I'm
Speaker 1: just down polar opposite.
Speaker 2: Well, Jesse raise a good point there because I was
Speaker 2: talking to a girlfriend of mine who's a blockhead. I
Speaker 2: didn't know what a blockhead was, but apparently I am one,
Speaker 2: and she was saying, you know, Jesse, you looked probably
Speaker 2: the quietest when it came to the confessionals. She said
Speaker 2: to me, I guarantee you that Jesse would be the
Speaker 2: best to go out on the piss with.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I pumped up a little bit when I'm on
Speaker 1: the turps mate that I think just being on the show,
Speaker 1: I was probably only about forty percent of myself, you know,
Speaker 1: just because you're just so exhausted and tired, and.
Speaker 3: You're not the biggest talker at the best.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'm not the biggest talk at the mess
Speaker 1: of times, so then you mix out with no sleep
Speaker 1: and the exhaustion. Yeah, I just turned in this little
Speaker 1: old man. That's just yeah. I didn't talk too much.
Speaker 2: I just think that there's such a genuine affinity between
Speaker 2: the two of you which comes across like even just
Speaker 2: talking to you now, which made great television, you know,
Speaker 2: it made great TI because I think it felt real
Speaker 2: as well. There was a couple of points where I think, Kirsty,
Speaker 2: you were saying about Paulie or you made a comment
Speaker 2: about him. I don't know, maybe I read into it
Speaker 2: a little bit. And one of my aunties said to me,
Speaker 2: she was like, well, she can't say that about another
Speaker 2: bloke in front of him, And I was like, well
Speaker 2: she can, because I think if you're in a real
Speaker 2: relationship and you're confident about what the relationship is and
Speaker 2: how it's working, you can kind of say that kind
Speaker 2: of stuff, right.
Speaker 3: I would hit on Paulie every day. He's so sexy.
Speaker 1: I don't agree, he's a sexy man's I agree.
Speaker 3: Sometimes are we driving along and I'll see Jesse, like,
Speaker 3: check out a chick that's like running along and I'll say,
Speaker 3: don't we to go back? And you know, get a
Speaker 3: number for you. We've been together for sixteen years now,
Speaker 3: and we're just so close in our relationship that I
Speaker 3: feel like I should be able to say anything to
Speaker 3: Jesse and the same with him. There's never anything like
Speaker 3: I would say to a girlfriend that I wouldn't say
Speaker 3: to Jesse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a really good quote. I think it
Speaker 2: was on Secret Life of Us years ago and Deborah
Speaker 2: Mailman said to her boyfriend who checks someone out? She
Speaker 2: said said, oh, sorry, I shouldn't have done that, And
Speaker 2: she said, no, that's good. It just means that you've
Speaker 2: got blood flowing through your body, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like you're alive.
Speaker 3: That's not really human.
Speaker 2: This season, you know, there really was probably the most
Speaker 2: dramatic season of the block in history. Do you guys
Speaker 2: feel like you stayed out of a lot of that.
Speaker 3: We tried to stay out of the drama as best
Speaker 3: we could, and I think we really did in the
Speaker 3: majority of it. But in the last couple of weeks,
Speaker 3: we you know, other contestants tried to drag us into
Speaker 3: some of the drama.
Speaker 1: But and the only drama eventuator when people would sort
Speaker 1: of almost attack us, and Cursey is super defensive of us.
Speaker 1: So she was just defending us and she wasn't going
Speaker 1: out searching for drama or anything like that. It was
Speaker 1: only when we got put into a corner that drama
Speaker 1: would happen around us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's only when people really started to realize that
Speaker 3: we were competition, I think. But yeah, we did try
Speaker 3: to stay out of the dramas as much as possible
Speaker 3: because number one, we just didn't have time to get
Speaker 3: involved in it. You know, we're just we would say,
Speaker 3: how are these other people going out and you know,
Speaker 3: doing actual fun things going and playing, yeah, bolleyball and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. We didn't have any spare time at all.
Speaker 1: So I think I left the house. Yeah, probably about
Speaker 1: five times in the whole show. So it's been fascinating
Speaker 1: for me to watch us to watch because like, I
Speaker 1: didn't see any of that carry on that happened out
Speaker 1: on that side of the street. I just it's just
Speaker 1: it's been fascinating for me to watch, like everyone at all.
Speaker 2: How did you feel I was sort of on top
Speaker 2: of all these budget issues that were happening, you know,
Speaker 2: you obviously both have been really stressed about that, but
Speaker 2: then to have Luke last week sort of come out
Speaker 2: one of the twins come out and try and call
Speaker 2: you about saying that the producers were helping you out
Speaker 2: with this money. I mean, how did that make you feel?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was really disappointed in that. Obviously we saw that,
Speaker 3: and friends were sending us the stories that they were posting,
Speaker 3: trying to say that we will give an extra money,
Speaker 3: and the show's trying to cover it up, which is
Speaker 3: just laughable. And you know, we're watching this show going, well,
Speaker 3: how are these guys actually affording where they're getting the
Speaker 3: money from to change all their rooms around? And we
Speaker 3: don't actually know where this is coming from. Like, the
Speaker 3: reason we were so stressed in those last couple of
Speaker 3: weeks is because we literally ran out of money. Like
Speaker 3: in front yard week, we literally had to send all
Speaker 3: of our landscapers home after I think they too, and
Speaker 3: it's just us and our one main landscaper and PAULI
Speaker 3: a build up while he's touching up other stuff inside
Speaker 3: the house and trying to help us in the front yard.
Speaker 3: I do, honestly don't know where that's come from, being I.
Speaker 4: Don't blame them. You're probably going to have to give
Speaker 4: them money to be able to finish their backyard and
Speaker 4: their property. That's why we're all upset, okay, because it
Speaker 4: was obvious to us that the Hallway week was given
Speaker 4: to them for this reason, So they haven't saved at all.
Speaker 4: There was a huge expense.
Speaker 3: It's actually funny to have a look at their domain
Speaker 3: listing and see how much their house.
Speaker 1: Has changed changed since when they left it.
Speaker 3: And you're like, this is really confusing, you know, so
Speaker 3: it's actually quite laughable. Who it's actually coming from.
Speaker 2: Well, it comes down to that old scenario. You know,
Speaker 2: if someone's if you're worried about your partner cheating on you,
Speaker 2: it usually means that you're cheating yourself. So like when
Speaker 2: it came down to him talking about the producers help
Speaker 2: that you were getting it, it kind of made me
Speaker 2: feel like, well, what are you guilty of? Like what
Speaker 2: if the producers helped you with you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, hundred percent. I've always said, you know, those that
Speaker 3: do that are often deflecting from themselves. And that's why
Speaker 3: I found it funny when they actually first accused us
Speaker 3: of cheating and wanted an audit, I was thinking, you know,
Speaker 3: they weren't worried about any team's cheating in the beginning
Speaker 3: when it actually when the cheating benefited them, But all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, now that they think that they're cheating
Speaker 3: going on and it's not benefiting them, they're all worried
Speaker 3: and wanting to make sure that you know, everything's above board.
Speaker 2: Well, they make great television, but I just thought the
Speaker 2: breathing of him on that video that he made was like,
Speaker 2: you know, like it's like because they're so young, and
Speaker 2: they just remind me of kids in a way. You know,
Speaker 2: like when kids come into the room and they're trying
Speaker 2: to get themselves out, they do the breathing, they're like yeah,
Speaker 2: and then they did this and then.
Speaker 1: They yeah, no, I get that made. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think twenty seven is Yeah, everyone goes either. But
Speaker 1: they're only young. But you've got to remember our bill
Speaker 1: to Paulie is younger than them. So when you're putting
Speaker 1: them two together and you see what part a wise
Speaker 1: old Paulie is and he's younger than them, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think they can play on the we're just young card.
Speaker 2: What was the most shocking thing that you saw watching
Speaker 2: the showback kind of as a viewer, I.
Speaker 1: Think for me, especially when Kursey's then passed away and
Speaker 1: we had to leave for the funeral, and then everyone
Speaker 1: we come back and you could just feel it because
Speaker 1: on Sundays we had to be together and just walking
Speaker 1: past people on the street like they'd be throwing daggers at.
Speaker 3: We didn't being really weird towards us.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, And that was obviously
Speaker 1: because of the backyard, and they all sort of started
Speaker 1: to turn on us, and it was just a really
Speaker 1: hard yeah to take, I guess seeing what they said
Speaker 1: about especially when we're at Yeah kurse and the funeral,
Speaker 1: I thought that was just really disappointing.
Speaker 3: And yes, especially you know a lot of things Ronnie said,
Speaker 3: especially we thought we were really good, like we are
Speaker 3: good friends with them still, but at the time watching
Speaker 3: it back some of the things he said, we're like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: And that's why we really loved about Mitchell Mark. You know,
Speaker 1: they just come straight up to us and say like,
Speaker 1: what's going on here? We don't understand, and we'd explain
Speaker 1: ourselves and they makes sense.
Speaker 3: It literally comes touts and said, yeah, are you guys cheating?
Speaker 1: Yes, So I'd always rather someone stabby in the chest
Speaker 1: and then in the back you know, so Mitch and
Speaker 1: Mike would always just come straight to you, but everyone
Speaker 1: else's sort of seemed to be talking behind our backs.
Speaker 1: It was actually no one ever come up and had
Speaker 1: the chat to us apart from Mitch and Mark.
Speaker 3: There was a whole episode where the boys were talking
Speaker 3: about trees that apparently we had, you.
Speaker 1: Know, that was another big one there.
Speaker 3: Taken or apparently we got the majority of these trees,
Speaker 3: and when we were watching it, that was the first
Speaker 3: we heard about it. No one mentioned the single thing
Speaker 3: to us about these trees, and as it turned out,
Speaker 3: they found out it was actually Mitch and Mark they
Speaker 3: got the majority of the trees. But then they said, oh,
Speaker 3: but that's okay. We want to see Kirsty and Jesse struggle.
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking they're saying they want to see a
Speaker 3: struggle while we're at a funeral, worn about family members,
Speaker 3: like they really not like us.
Speaker 1: And I don't understand why they hated us so much,
Speaker 1: because I don't think we ever really. The only thing
Speaker 1: was Kersey mentioned to them that their builder wasn't Land
Speaker 1: of Paint in the first ever episode. But if that,
Speaker 1: if you hate someone so much because of that, that's
Speaker 1: really nice.
Speaker 2: I don't know from a viewer's perspective. I mean, I
Speaker 2: think Mitch and Mark I just love them. I think
Speaker 2: that they come across really well. But in saying that,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that there's any favorites for
Speaker 2: me personally, because I like people who are kind of
Speaker 2: a bit evil. Yeah, like as well, like I like
Speaker 2: the shading, I like the yeah exactly right, Like you
Speaker 2: kind of love the villains in these sorts of shows said.
Speaker 3: Exact same thing. We actually thank them for being the
Speaker 3: characters that they are because it's made this show so
Speaker 3: successful this season. And I'm actually going to put it
Speaker 3: thank you for them in my album credits when the
Speaker 3: new album comes out, I'll say thank you Tenure, thank
Speaker 3: you Josh and Luke.
Speaker 2: They're getting a Christmas card.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely not.
Speaker 2: You know, the Bloc has just grown to be so
Speaker 2: undefeated in the ratings. Why do you think this show
Speaker 2: resonates with Australians, you know, seventeen years later, Well, it's.
Speaker 3: Funny that, you know, you read some comments on social
Speaker 3: media going oh I hate the drama and blah blah blah,
Speaker 3: and it's like, no, you don't. You love the drama
Speaker 3: that's why you're watching every week and obviously Strane's love renovating.
Speaker 3: You know, you've only got to look at Bunnings and
Speaker 3: Might of ten on a weekend to see how packed
Speaker 3: that is every single weekend, every public holiday you have,
Speaker 3: it's always packed. That's what Ozzies are doing.
Speaker 1: To me. It's just fascinating to see that there's actually
Speaker 1: people out there in the world like that and see
Speaker 1: how they behave as three pressure. I think people just
Speaker 1: are intrigued by the personalities. It's just as much as
Speaker 1: the building side of things.
Speaker 2: Well, we all aspire to buy houses in our lives.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's one of those checkpoints that we kind
Speaker 2: of all, you know, I think that's what we're going
Speaker 2: to do. And then that inherent thing about being a
Speaker 2: child building a cubby I think really comes into it.
Speaker 2: And you know, you guys did say you watched the
Speaker 2: show before. Why did you apply? You know, what was
Speaker 2: the driving force for that?
Speaker 3: Well, for us, we've been big fans of the show
Speaker 3: for a long time. We actually first applied back in
Speaker 3: twenty twelve and we've been applying over the years, like
Speaker 3: trying to get on. It was it was always this
Speaker 3: one thing that we knew if we could get on
Speaker 3: it would literally change our lives forever. You know, we
Speaker 3: do come from very humble beginnings. My mum was only
Speaker 3: sixteen when she felt pres with me. My parents were
Speaker 3: teenagers and there wasn't a whole lot of opportunity for
Speaker 3: them and for us growing up. You know, my first
Speaker 3: house was a caravan. Literally, I came home from the
Speaker 3: hospital to a caravan. And you know, Jesse grew up
Speaker 3: in humble beginnings as well, with a single mom, and
Speaker 3: we've always known that if you could get on a
Speaker 3: show like this, it would just change our lives and
Speaker 3: set us up forever, and especially having the love for renovating,
Speaker 3: Jesse always had this goal of buying a house when
Speaker 3: he was a teenager. We've been together since well sixteen,
Speaker 3: and it was the one thing he would always talk about.
Speaker 3: His mum instilled in him that if you're going to
Speaker 3: get ahead in life, you need to buy a house.
Speaker 3: And so he started his apprenticeship at sixteen and would
Speaker 3: say all of his pay every week because obviously he's
Speaker 3: still living at home with his mum. And by the
Speaker 3: time we turned eighteen, we had a little deposit there
Speaker 3: to buy our first house, it was only one hundred
Speaker 3: and sixty five thousand dollars, but that's what started us off,
Speaker 3: and you know, kick started our love of renovating and
Speaker 3: we could see that, you know, it can be life changing.
Speaker 3: And that very first house that we renovated, it was
Speaker 3: only one hundred and sixty five hours dollars shack but
Speaker 3: we ended up making sixty thousand dollars on that and
Speaker 3: for like twenty year olds at the time, that was amazing.
Speaker 3: And then that helped us by another house. And you know,
Speaker 3: we've experienced the highs and loads of renovating. We're definitely
Speaker 3: not you know, experts at all. We've lost money on
Speaker 3: renovating houses. And you know, our next house we only
Speaker 3: made twenty thousand dollars on. And then we renovated Jesse's
Speaker 3: mum's house for her so she could retire and have
Speaker 3: a bit of money. She sold that house, and we
Speaker 3: helped Jesse's dad renovate his house for him because he's
Speaker 3: just turned seventy and needed, you know, the place to
Speaker 3: be a bit better for him.
Speaker 1: And a lot of the renovations are nothing like everyone says,
Speaker 1: Oh they're experts, they've done six houses, but Usually it's
Speaker 1: just a liquord paint.
Speaker 3: And carpet, new carpet and a second end kitchen, gardens.
Speaker 3: There's no nothing like the block lit.
Speaker 1: Whatever we can find off gum tree on the side
Speaker 1: of the road went in. So we're not definitely not seating.
Speaker 3: The next but we actually come into the block thinking, yeah,
Speaker 3: we've got lots of experience. You know, over fifteen years
Speaker 3: we've we've renovated six houses, but oh my gosh, we
Speaker 3: did not know what was in store for us.
Speaker 2: I was kind of picked that you've worn them down.
Speaker 2: You've applied since twenty twelve, so just keep asking and
Speaker 2: you're renovating. I wondered whether or not you've been filming
Speaker 2: your own version of the block and just sending them
Speaker 2: in to sending the video.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've always said they can't ignore us forever. Like
Speaker 3: last year, we actually made it. We almost made it
Speaker 3: on the show. We made the short list, so we
Speaker 3: went through the whole casting process and you know, it
Speaker 3: was hopeful that we would make that final cut, but
Speaker 3: we didn't, which was devastating because you know, it's a
Speaker 3: big dream of ours and to make it that far
Speaker 3: and then get the email to say sorry, guys, you
Speaker 3: weren't successful in making the final cut. I remember I
Speaker 3: was just like crying every day for like two weeks.
Speaker 3: But I said, we're not going to give up. They
Speaker 3: can't ignore us forever. We're on their radar. Now we've
Speaker 3: made the short list, So let's play apply again and
Speaker 3: try and you know, show ourselves a bit more and
Speaker 3: so they can get to know us a bit.
Speaker 1: More and bringing out my personality because I'm pretty dry
Speaker 1: and I don't have a huge personality, so it took
Speaker 1: a while for me to get comfortable in front of
Speaker 1: a camera.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it obviously worked because we finally.
Speaker 2: Got on It just makes it that much sweeter though, I.
Speaker 3: Think, yeah, definitely, And I think that's why it's frustrating
Speaker 3: for some people watching that have been applying themselves trying
Speaker 3: to get on it, and they do see some contestants
Speaker 3: that don't take it seriously.
Speaker 1: And millions of people would want to be in our positions,
Speaker 1: you know, And we understood that that's why we'd work
Speaker 1: so hard, because it's such an amazing opportunity. I'd never
Speaker 1: take it for granted and I would never expect to
Speaker 1: be there.
Speaker 3: We kept telling ourselves it's only three months. It's only
Speaker 3: three months, Like, you've got to kill yourself working for
Speaker 3: three months and then we can sleep for a month
Speaker 3: if we wanted.
Speaker 2: Did the producers tell you what they liked about you
Speaker 2: and sort of how you were going to be portrayed
Speaker 2: on the show?
Speaker 3: No, not at all. We had no idea. Yeah, they
Speaker 3: still have never said anything. You know, when we met
Speaker 3: with the casting director Lucky, we you know, sort of
Speaker 3: question him like what are you looking for? And you know,
Speaker 3: he said, this is like one of the only shows
Speaker 3: that he casts for that they don't have. We're looking
Speaker 3: for the beach, We're looking for the bad boys, we're
Speaker 3: looking for this. Yeah, he said, this is like literally
Speaker 3: one of the only shows he casts where they're not
Speaker 3: looking for certain people. And I guess they just see
Speaker 3: what comes in and go from there.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, what's the strangest story that you've read in
Speaker 2: the media since now being television celebrities?
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, we've read a few. Actually, there's a real
Speaker 3: funny one today.
Speaker 1: About that one that's embarrassing.
Speaker 3: The headline makes it out like Jesse's been on gay
Speaker 3: porn sites or something. So the headline was Kirsty is
Speaker 3: shocked to find her husband.
Speaker 1: On like had shirtless photos on gay babe sites. It
Speaker 1: was something I couldn't even read it.
Speaker 2: Maybe I changed the algorithm because I've been typing that
Speaker 2: into all the gay porn sites and now and now
Speaker 2: people think he's on there because I've just been searching.
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, I'm not going to Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Think that actually came from we did it. We did
Speaker 3: an interview for Women's Day and the journalist asks me,
Speaker 3: you know, how do you feel about all this extra
Speaker 3: attention Jesse's getting from females because you know, he's a
Speaker 3: good looking guy, and he's such a lovely guy as well.
Speaker 3: And I said, it's awesome. I always knew that, you know,
Speaker 3: Australia would fall in him. It just was a matter
Speaker 3: of time before they realized how awesome he is. And
Speaker 3: I said, and it's not just females that love him.
Speaker 3: I said, you know, the guys love him as well.
Speaker 3: It's so funny to look on Twitter when the show's
Speaker 3: on and you see Jesse's name trending and they're like,
Speaker 3: take your shirt off, Jesse.
Speaker 2: I retweeted something and I didn't realize I did it,
Speaker 2: And I retweeted this photo so I'm going to put
Speaker 2: a blue wash over it. But basically, Jesse, it was
Speaker 2: you with no top on, and then I and then
Speaker 2: I retweeted, but then I interviewed Mitch and Mark the
Speaker 2: next day and then on the podcast. I left it
Speaker 2: on the podcast. I really should have edited that because
Speaker 2: it was goddamn embarrassing, but I was like harassing them.
Speaker 2: I was like, is he really good looking in real life?
Speaker 2: And blah blah blah. Anyway, it's I think it's flattering,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'll take it as a column. It's just a little embarrassing.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry about sharing that tweet, by the way, and
Speaker 2: thank you for coming on the podcast without thinking I'm
Speaker 2: a total pest, you know. Originally people online felt that
Speaker 2: the Faves might have had an unfair advantage. Do you
Speaker 2: think that there were any unfair advantages throughout the series?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say unfair, but there's definitely advantages having done
Speaker 3: it before. Like I say, now, we not that I
Speaker 3: think we ever could bring ourselves to do it again,
Speaker 3: but if we did, I feel like we would sail
Speaker 3: through it, like just knowing what we know now.
Speaker 1: And it's obviously still challenges that anyone would face on
Speaker 1: the shade, but just knowing the process and how it works,
Speaker 1: and just understanding how overwhelming it's going to be. You
Speaker 1: know where all the shops are, you know you've got
Speaker 1: to get your orders in by a certain time. You
Speaker 1: just know the flow. So there's huge advantages of it.
Speaker 3: But wouldn't say they're unfair because then there's also advantages
Speaker 3: that you know, we were given. We all got to
Speaker 3: choose our houses first, so that's one of the biggest
Speaker 3: advantages really, and you know, we obviously chose, we all
Speaker 3: chose what houses Mitch and Mark would get and Ronnie
Speaker 3: and Georgia would get. So that's why when we went
Speaker 3: into that very first challenge, thinking this is the one
Speaker 3: we have to win, this is the big one, because
Speaker 3: whatever house we choose is going to set us up
Speaker 3: for auction.
Speaker 1: Day, and we'd strategically put the phase in the houses
Speaker 1: there in as well. I knew that going into our
Speaker 1: thought Ronnie and George are going to be probably our
Speaker 1: biggest threat because we have similar.
Speaker 3: Similar styles, and so we didn't put them in House too,
Speaker 3: because that was our second house. That's the house we
Speaker 3: would have chose if we didn't get House fight, So
Speaker 3: we said we're not going to put Ronnie and George
Speaker 3: in that house because we feel they're our biggest competition
Speaker 3: style wise. So that's why automatically they got the one
Speaker 3: on the corner. And it's just lucky that the other
Speaker 3: two fan teams agreed as well. So I don't know
Speaker 3: if they actually realized it was strategic and all a
Speaker 3: lot of like yeah, yeah, Rodio, we.
Speaker 2: All worked a plan, you know, just individually. What's the
Speaker 2: worst thing that you've said in the confessionals?
Speaker 3: Gosh, I don't know. It's actually funny. We watch and
Speaker 3: we go There'll be little things that I say and
Speaker 3: then so weird. I get crucified by women online, like ah,
Speaker 3: she's a nasty little piece of work. Just to being honest.
Speaker 3: Jesse can say anything's.
Speaker 1: Me, like Ronnie can come around and tear things apart
Speaker 1: and say smarter us remarks and he's just he's Alaric
Speaker 1: and he's a funny guy. Curse he's or George Georgia
Speaker 1: like just that strong female personality. They're just like nasty
Speaker 1: be its. Yeah, it's just you can say, yeah, I
Speaker 1: just don't understand what the difference is. It's just a
Speaker 1: really fascinating thing.
Speaker 3: It's funny to watch it play out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the strong female character. People just can't handle it.
Speaker 1: Some people just think that, I.
Speaker 3: Think, especially with me, because you know, I'm this little
Speaker 3: petite thing, and they think that I should be this little, quiet,
Speaker 3: little cute girl that doesn't speak out of place or
Speaker 3: speak her mind or anything. I don't know. They must
Speaker 3: have this image of me in their head, and then
Speaker 3: when I do speak my mind, they're like, oh, no.
Speaker 2: I think you're being hard on yourself. So look, I'm
Speaker 2: going to be a counselor Right now, I'm putting my
Speaker 2: counselor hat on. But I just think you've been because
Speaker 2: you know what the thing is that you guys are
Speaker 2: reading so much. It's not that you're being narcissistic or
Speaker 2: obsessed with yourself, but inherently we read about our own stuff,
Speaker 2: and then you know, you think, oh, people saying more
Speaker 2: about you. But if I was to look at it
Speaker 2: from an outsider's perspective and just watching the show and
Speaker 2: following what people are saying on social media, sure, yeah,
Speaker 2: people have said that, you know, you can be a
Speaker 2: little bit outspoken with things, but I don't think that
Speaker 2: even compares to some of the criticism that other people
Speaker 2: have had.
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
Speaker 2: I think you've been too yourself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have been very lucky. I think we've probably
Speaker 3: been perceived the best. I honestly, I do feel sorry
Speaker 3: for Teny and Better because the amount of hate they've
Speaker 3: copped online is just out of this world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not right to attack them in the way
Speaker 1: they have.
Speaker 3: Especially personally when people say things about their kids and
Speaker 3: all that sort of family and I don't really think
Speaker 3: that's called for. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: it's a TV show, Like, seriously, I don't think they
Speaker 3: realized just how big of a show the Block was,
Speaker 3: to be honest, and how many people watch, and how
Speaker 3: roped in people get and they live and breathe it.
Speaker 3: The fans live and breathe this show like they they
Speaker 3: love it.
Speaker 2: What's your relationship with them, Like.
Speaker 3: At the moment, we haven't had really any communication with
Speaker 3: those guys since filming the show. I mean obviously you
Speaker 3: like like stuff on Instagram and stuff like that, but no,
Speaker 3: I haven't had any conversations, not like we've Ronnie and
Speaker 3: Georgia and Mitch Mark where we literally talk on the
Speaker 3: phone like I speak to Mitch literally every second day
Speaker 3: on the phone. We've definitely got totally different relationships with
Speaker 3: House one or two and House three and four, And
Speaker 3: I mean that's always going to happen. You're never going
Speaker 3: to have five couples that you know, are all kumbaya
Speaker 3: and love each other.
Speaker 2: Friendship is what you both put in, and so I
Speaker 2: think for you guys, you know that's what you both
Speaker 2: were putting in with Mitchen Mark, and you know, the
Speaker 2: friendship's there, and so like, I think if people aren't
Speaker 2: putting that in there, it's not a negative. You don't
Speaker 2: dislike them, you don't hate them, but it's just about
Speaker 2: the friendship isn't there because you're both not putting that
Speaker 2: kind of energy into it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, And I think you know, while we're filming
Speaker 3: the show, we literally hardly ever saw I think we
Speaker 3: saw a Tenian beta the least amount of time. Like
Speaker 3: we would see them on Sunday at judging and we'd
Speaker 3: pass them in the street or we'd you know, when
Speaker 3: we have to do challenges or something like that. But
Speaker 3: it wasn't like they were coming over here at nighttime,
Speaker 3: like Mitchen Mark with a beer and like just having
Speaker 3: a chat for even like ten minutes. You know, there
Speaker 3: was none of that. So obviously different relationships are going
Speaker 3: to form when there just isn't that there from the beginning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, the one of the questions that
Speaker 2: everyone who I spoke to about having this chat with
Speaker 2: you today, everyone wants to know about your singing. What's
Speaker 2: going to happen with that? I mean, you've got a
Speaker 2: real talent there, you know, will you be expanding that
Speaker 2: after being on the Block.
Speaker 3: It's funny. I've read lots of comments from people going, oh,
Speaker 3: you know, of course she's going to start a music
Speaker 3: career national on the Block, And I think start a
Speaker 3: music career, Okay, well, number one, I've released five aria
Speaker 3: Chauting albums, I've had millions of streams on Spotify, I've
Speaker 3: had over ten number one music videos on CMT.
Speaker 2: What to change?
Speaker 3: Shit, I'm not starting a career at all. I'm just
Speaker 3: obviously expanding on my po And why wouldn't I Like,
Speaker 3: I'd be very silly not to, you know. I saw
Speaker 3: comments like, oh, of course she's going to release a
Speaker 3: song while the show's doing. It's like, well, that's that's
Speaker 3: my job.
Speaker 2: You just got to own that and be like, of
Speaker 2: course you're going to capitalize on the block. Just say
Speaker 2: that back to people.
Speaker 3: Of course, it's literally been my job for the past
Speaker 3: seventeen years. Do you really expect me to not work
Speaker 3: just because I'm on a TV show that's airing at
Speaker 3: the moment? Are you serious? Do you tell Veto who
Speaker 3: installs blinds, not to go and install blinds, or do
Speaker 3: you tell me to Mark not to sell candles? Like,
Speaker 3: of course you're going to try and capitalize on whatever
Speaker 3: bit of promotion you've got going on. So I just
Speaker 3: think some people just don't even think before they make
Speaker 3: some comments.
Speaker 2: Really, that's everyone, that's everyone in the world. Have you
Speaker 2: filmed and will we find out or do you know
Speaker 2: about the cheating scandal? We're going to have a revelation.
Speaker 3: We don't ourselves know. Obviously. We feel like it's quite
Speaker 3: obvious that Tenure took the photo. Like if we had
Speaker 3: to bet one thousand dollars on something, we would say,
Speaker 3: Tenya took the photo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we don't have a photo of ten you're
Speaker 1: taking the photo, so I.
Speaker 3: Can't we don't have proof. I can't bet our life
Speaker 3: on it. But then you know, we're watching Love Islands snippets,
Speaker 3: and I think it was Josh came out saying that
Speaker 3: apparently it does come out, so we're so interested to
Speaker 3: see these interesting episodes.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I wonder if they had security footagecause they
Speaker 1: were security cameras in the street. So yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: particular day when we were filming the TV ad and
Speaker 1: there was no block crew there at all. It was
Speaker 1: a Channel nine crew came in to do the tv ad.
Speaker 3: I reckon that's when it's happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so but yeah, surely there's some CCTV footage you
Speaker 1: going in.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know my theory, I've got a theory. Yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2: I feel as though they were there and someone said
Speaker 2: go over there and take a photo like Scottie Cam's
Speaker 2: things in there, Like whether it was you know, just
Speaker 2: a runner on the set of filming the promo, like
Speaker 2: somebody who probably I don't know, or you know, someone's
Speaker 2: just said, oh, you could go and do that, and
Speaker 2: they've gone and done it and thought it wasn't such
Speaker 2: a big deal, and then it's just gotten worse and
Speaker 2: worse and worse.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Maybe ID of feel like, you know, they thought it
Speaker 2: was an okay, thing to do in their mind, because
Speaker 2: if you're looking at the way they talk about it
Speaker 2: on the show, they genuinely don't look think that they're guilty,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Yeah, something has given them
Speaker 2: the belief that it was an okay thing to do
Speaker 2: hothetically because allegedly we don't even know if they did it, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I get that. But then you think, well, how
Speaker 3: come they only showed Josh and Luke they didn't show
Speaker 3: us or the others, Like if it was an okay
Speaker 3: thing to do, wouldn't you just be like, oh did
Speaker 3: you guys?
Speaker 1: See Like, yeah, I get this, I don't know obviously,
Speaker 1: just trying to cover the tracks. Like they've already admitted
Speaker 1: they were just scared of getting kicked off the show.
Speaker 3: So I would have been scared to get kicked off
Speaker 3: the show too if that was because.
Speaker 1: It was like a genuine scandal, because it affected the
Speaker 1: whole twelve weeks on the show, you could imagine that, say,
Speaker 1: come kitchen week, there's about sixty installers on site because
Speaker 1: they have to install five massive kitchens in a matter
Speaker 1: of like a day and a half window. So that's
Speaker 1: sixty people's lives and families. That's just them in particular.
Speaker 3: For that that week of work, and then that gets changed.
Speaker 3: And I remember our guy from Carpercourt, you know, he said,
Speaker 3: when the schedule changed, because they're a major sponsor.
Speaker 1: Of the show, the block has priority.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so then he had. So then when he's scheduled changed,
Speaker 3: he had to cancel like five grands worth of work
Speaker 3: just to come in and do carpet that day when
Speaker 3: he wasn't actually meant to be on the block that week.
Speaker 1: So it's just heaps of people yet the carpet. Imagine
Speaker 1: those sixty installers having to cancel sixty.
Speaker 2: The ramifications are huge, which means that all those people
Speaker 2: online that were like, well at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: Channel line would have set this up, which, by the way,
Speaker 2: just in the background Channel nine Gods, that's not what
Speaker 2: I'm saying, but you know, there's just no way they
Speaker 2: had a budget to then go and pay for all
Speaker 2: of the ramifications.
Speaker 3: No, definitely wasn't set up by the show, which is
Speaker 3: what tenure Meter have sort of hinted out a few
Speaker 3: times now. But no, it was such a headache for everyone,
Speaker 3: like changing that schedule around it you just wouldn't And
Speaker 3: obviously it's worked out. It's great content for the show.
Speaker 3: They couldn't make it up, so you know, they're probably yeah,
Speaker 3: thanking them also, but also it was a massive pain
Speaker 3: at the time because months and months going to planning
Speaker 3: that schedule and planning the challenges and all that kind
Speaker 3: of thing. So it'd be interesting to see what plays
Speaker 3: out and if it does actually come out.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sure, we're two weeks away from the from the auction,
Speaker 2: so we're going to find out who wins the block.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you think that it's a good or
Speaker 2: a bad thing at the moment that everyone online thinks
Speaker 2: that you guys are going to win.
Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of a lot of pressure as to
Speaker 3: be honest, like, we're trying not to think about it
Speaker 3: because obviously there has been contestants in the past that
Speaker 3: haven't made a lot of money, and that honestly would
Speaker 3: be devastating if we, i know, to say, oh, we
Speaker 3: only won ten thousand dollars, but it really would because
Speaker 3: it cost more than that just to do the show,
Speaker 3: to give up your life for three months, and.
Speaker 1: The whole time it's airing, we're constantly doing things for
Speaker 1: the show, so it's not just that three months period.
Speaker 3: It's like giving up nearly a whole year, nearly a
Speaker 3: whole year your life, so you want to walk away
Speaker 3: with a substantial amount of money.
Speaker 1: And also at the very start of this, we said
Speaker 1: that we're going in this trying to win every room,
Speaker 1: and we want to win the block, like, have never
Speaker 1: done anything going oh, I'll be happy if for coming forth.
Speaker 1: That's just not how we work. So we want to
Speaker 1: win the most.
Speaker 3: And there's ever been one in the block.
Speaker 1: I remember history. Yeah, producer asking us like, oh, how
Speaker 1: much do you want to win, and we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: what's a record more than that? That's the goal, Just
Speaker 1: be honest the best.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So yeah, I think, I honestly think our house
Speaker 3: will sell for the most because I mean it's you
Speaker 3: can't compare ours is over nine hundred square meter block.
Speaker 3: You can't make more land on the other houses. But
Speaker 3: our reserve will be what brings us undone. If our
Speaker 3: reserve is like so much higher, which we most likely
Speaker 3: will be, that will depend on whether we actually win
Speaker 3: the show or not.
Speaker 1: But my argument will be tenure in Verde's house costs
Speaker 1: three point one million to buy. To buy ours is
Speaker 1: only two point six six, So we should act technically,
Speaker 1: we should have the same or lower reserve.
Speaker 2: How do you reckon? We'll go just say it with me.
Speaker 2: Vision board. I think you need to vision board the
Speaker 2: shit out of this. You need to be like this is,
Speaker 2: write down the number and materialize that in your head.
Speaker 2: I'm not one of those people that I'm now sounding like,
Speaker 2: but I still think that's the best advice we are
Speaker 2: at this stage.
Speaker 1: Should we are now those type of people. We've had
Speaker 1: a million dollars written on their fridge for two.
Speaker 3: Years now and our build a poorly. He is really
Speaker 3: big on what's the word metifes station. He has actually
Speaker 3: won a lot of money himself in the past from
Speaker 3: manifesting money. And the first day he met us, he
Speaker 3: looked at us and he said, you guys are gonna
Speaker 3: win the biggest prize that's ever been one on the block,
Speaker 3: he said, I'm telling you now.
Speaker 1: I think I mean definitely I reckon. It does he
Speaker 1: because it put you in a good mindset and he're
Speaker 1: not always negative, and then good things happen.
Speaker 3: When we were trying to get on the block, literally
Speaker 3: every day I'd walk around the house singing this song
Speaker 3: We're going on the block. We're going on the We're
Speaker 3: going on, We're going on the fucking block.
Speaker 2: Well, at this stage, if you don't win the block,
Speaker 2: who do you think is going to be your toughest competition, Like,
Speaker 2: who do you think could win?
Speaker 3: It's really hard. I actually think the Twins might. They
Speaker 3: might surprise everybody, Like they've got a really good position
Speaker 3: in that cold.
Speaker 1: It's a really good position in the Coulder sack. I
Speaker 1: think their layout got fixed in the last week because
Speaker 1: I think they just realized that it wouldn't sell at all.
Speaker 3: And I think if you're into that modern sort of design,
Speaker 3: there might be a lot of buyers out there that
Speaker 3: are into that. Obviously, our favorite houses arours. We love
Speaker 3: the inside of Ronnie and George's, and we love Mitch
Speaker 3: and Mark's house.
Speaker 1: But who knows, Yeah, who knows. You could get some
Speaker 1: wacky buyer with lots of money that loves ten vidas,
Speaker 1: you know, like I never just never know who's going
Speaker 1: to rush.
Speaker 3: I was willing to pay the most money on the
Speaker 3: day for the house they want.
Speaker 2: I guess let's not talk about it. It's ruining our vision.
Speaker 2: No one else wins, no one else matters. Anyway. My
Speaker 2: last question that I would like to ask is something
Speaker 2: that I ask all of my guests on the show,
Speaker 2: and that is what is an amazing story from behind
Speaker 2: the scenes that we're as an audience might not have seen.
Speaker 3: There's actually a lot of stuff you don't see. One
Speaker 3: one of my favorite things that happened was Week four,
Speaker 3: when all the drama broke out, was actually my birthday
Speaker 3: and we went and filmed a piece where Jesse took
Speaker 3: me out for dinner that night for my birthday, and
Speaker 3: the whole way driving there, he made it like, we'll
Speaker 3: gone to some fancy Scottish restaurant, Scottish restaurant, and I
Speaker 3: was like what because I'm a really fussy eater, like
Speaker 3: I literally eat chicken, nuggas and chips like a ten
Speaker 3: year old. And I was like, I.
Speaker 1: Said, you to this fancy Scottish restaurant and she's like,
Speaker 1: what's Scottish?
Speaker 3: Like I'm like and I said, I'm going to be
Speaker 3: gone Macca's draft on the way.
Speaker 1: Home, you guys are better be good, like we're going
Speaker 1: to get to maccas.
Speaker 3: Anyway, we ended up he ended up taking me to
Speaker 3: mc donald to McDonald's and when we get there, they
Speaker 3: are Dan the foreman. You know, he's their dress as
Speaker 3: a butler. They have a lady plane violin and like
Speaker 3: serving us like this big, you know, fancy meal and
Speaker 3: everyone's just stirring. Adison and Mitch and Mitch and Georgia
Speaker 3: had actually gone in before us and they built me
Speaker 3: this giant nugget. It was a huge nugget birthday cake.
Speaker 1: It was monster.
Speaker 3: They had a nuggets and had sweet and sour sauce
Speaker 3: stripped all down the side. And I was like, I
Speaker 3: loved that. And that was because like I always get
Speaker 3: tagged in like Facebook means with these nugget cakes, like
Speaker 3: Jesse has to get you this nugget cake.
Speaker 1: So I finally got one. There was just too much
Speaker 1: that week, didn't I know.
Speaker 2: I love it though, I mean, do you know what,
Speaker 2: this is a really good brand endorsement for you because
Speaker 2: when you both look this good on a strict nugget diet,
Speaker 2: I think, you know, that's what we said.
Speaker 3: We like he lost ten kilos on the show. I
Speaker 3: lost five killos and we weren't big people to start
Speaker 3: off with. And that was with me eating McDonald's every
Speaker 3: second day and Jesse eating a leader of Connoissan ice
Speaker 3: cream every night. Yeah, so the show would give us
Speaker 3: tubs of ice cream.
Speaker 1: And gift cards to McDonald's. I had like unlimited McDonald's.
Speaker 1: We went to just three three hundred dollars gift cards
Speaker 1: for macas and we still lost ten killers and five crazy.
Speaker 2: Well that's the stress, Bernie. Well, I just want to
Speaker 2: say congratulations on your time on the show. To start
Speaker 2: off with, I'm just gonna be really honest, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: I like these guys. But then by the time I
Speaker 2: got to the end, I've just been so passionate and
Speaker 2: I'm just determined, determined for you to win.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: And Jesse, when is the calendar coming out?
Speaker 1: The calendar, I'm.
Speaker 3: Said, I'm going to make I need to make money.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make money off this boy.
Speaker 2: You got nuggets to buy? No, I would say, there's
Speaker 2: a lucrative piece of business in there for.
Speaker 1: All right, seat mate, Yeah, I get Paul to help
Speaker 1: me out with that one.
Speaker 2: Maybe he could be in it.
Speaker 3: He could. I've said, I want to do a calendar
Speaker 3: with all our trades because we I reckon we had the.
Speaker 2: Poppiest trading steam from what I saw. I think you're right.
Speaker 2: I think you're right. But anyway, guys, thank you so
Speaker 2: much for time. It was so fun. It was a
