1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Well, it's a big weekend of course, just sup on

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: us again, especially if you're a blockhead and I am.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: You love the show.

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: I thought we'd catch up with the man this morning,

5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: your head of a huge weekend.

6
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: Back from me and jury days, way way back. God, Cam, good.

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 4: Morning morning guys. How are you good?

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 3: Scutdy?

9
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 5: I mean, gosh, the year is the year goes quick.

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 5: Here we are again on the e the auction.

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, here we are again, me feeling sick of my

12
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 4: stomach again.

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: You really feel it for all of them, so it's

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: five times.

15
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: Over you and the contestant Scott.

16
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, it's one of those things. I want them

17
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 4: to make money, to work hard, I want them to

18
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 4: do well, and we've got no control over the situation.

19
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 4: It's like every option that it happens every weekend and

20
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 4: we go in there fingers crossed and sit on the

21
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 4: couch and for the best.

22
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 5: You know what really drove that home that you have

23
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 5: no control over anything. Last year's on sho oh my god.

24
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 5: Now I think I think it was ambitious what the

25
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 5: block tried to do out engersmon, but I think this

26
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 5: year has been awesome.

27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 4: You know.

28
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 5: Hampton East, beautiful Street, manageable houses, houses that you know

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 5: are going to people are going to line up to

30
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 5: want to live in. What do you think will happen

31
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 5: at the auction this year?

32
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we're a bit more sensible this year.

33
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: You're right, and we've got test or in beautiful family homes. Look,

34
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: there's interest, there's no doubt about that. And we had

35
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: ten thousand of people come through for the open for

36
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 4: inspections and then folks at Home of Love watching the

37
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 4: series and the houses in the street, the people in

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: the Strength sorry that lived there in Charming Street, absolutely

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: love them. We're adding value to the streets. Yes, and look,

40
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: we just hope that we sell all of them on

41
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: auction day and they all make the money.

42
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what you want, and you will be very

43
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: surprised if you didn't.

44
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: You don't want any fireworks or any runn from running

45
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: in Georgia walking Off said any of that kind of

46
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: action with disappointment, because the disappointment is palpable when you're

47
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: watching on TV Scotty and you're in the room with them.

48
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it's a tough day at the office sometimes,

49
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: but then again, it can be a great day at

50
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 4: the office. Too, and everybody is excited. They say, you know,

51
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,559
Speaker 4: I've given out the reserve prices and the auction order yesterday,

52
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 4: and at the moment they all hate me. And that's

53
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 4: every year, and and then we'll just wait and see

54
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 4: whether that's Lawrenson so happened. Yeah, we'll be the side

55
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: of the order in a couple of ways. It'll be

56
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: very interested to watch.

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, it plays out for a while. But the

58
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 6: first time ever, I don't know. I never know the

59
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 6: reserve prices until I give them, give them, give them

60
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 6: to them in the way, decided not to tell me.

61
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: I don't know, okay, right, I.

62
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 4: Don't know what the reserve prices are, and I'm going

63
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 4: to find out on the day on the cow. I

64
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: don't know why they're not telling me.

65
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: It's a twist.

66
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: They haven't told me, and I literally don't know. Some

67
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 4: are disappointed and very cranky. Yeah, some are indifferent and

68
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: some I was reasonably happy.

69
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: So it was always the case.

70
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: Wanted to be one hundred grand, don't they Well, of.

71
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: Course, I guess they'll all be around a similar amount.

72
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 5: I think last year they were all.

73
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: Well, they're not the land size, of course, it is

74
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: quite bigger, Okay, a lot bigger. So there's two houses

75
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: that are different than the others, and the others are

76
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: all slightly different, I think. Look honestly, but I do

77
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: know that Houses five and four are larger than the

78
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: other three. Yes, so their reserves are going to be higher.

79
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, well that makes sense. I think that

80
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: they probably knew that all along.

81
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: Houses for and one are my favorites.

82
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: I do love Stephan John's house and I love Kyle

83
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 5: and Lesley's house, not just because I'm, you know, sort

84
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: of rooting for them as as the West Astraightllions, but

85
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: I think that the judges were incredibly harsh on them

86
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: throughout the season.

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: I agree, and I think that you you have.

88
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: To ask the other Hampton buyers from a couple of

89
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 5: years ago. The judges do not always know what they're

90
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 5: talking about. And it was so interesting to see that

91
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 5: Kyle and Leslie got that front cover of the domain

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 5: thing because so many more people had.

93
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: Been interested in looking at their house than anyone else's.

94
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the judges always admit they don't always get

95
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: it right, but sometimes their ideas are a bit to me.

96
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: But I'm I'm not a designer. I'm a builder. Yes,

97
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: what would I know? Well, Kyler Lesley's house as well,

98
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 4: and some of the criticism that they got from the judges.

99
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: I didn't see it, but you know that happens every year.

100
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course it makes it into this. It's like

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 5: the old art adage. I don't know art, but I

102
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 5: know what I.

103
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: Like, which love. Yeah.

104
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Scott is a block auction day these days without

105
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: the very different Danny Wallace rocking up and throwing in

106
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 1: some weird numbers, I'm sure he'll be there.

107
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, you know what. I was at dinner last

108
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 4: night and Danny was at the same restaurant and he

109
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,799
Speaker 4: came over to my table and I said, I said, mate,

110
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: am I going to see you tomorrow? And that was

111
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: the last night. Am I going to see on the weekend?

112
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 4: And he said, he said, yes, I'm going to be there.

113
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 4: We're there. Yeah, that's all we know. Okay, he keeps

114
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 4: it close to his chest.

115
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: Now, well him versus mister Lambo would be good. I

116
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: can bunp the prices at the lamborginn to go.

117
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 5: Yeah again, Adrian, Yeah, I love the way this all

118
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: comes together at the end, because you know it's that

119
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 5: twelve weeks has gone very quickly, by the way, and

120
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: then it all happens in the one weekend. It goes

121
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 5: to auction, turns around, we find out you know who's

122
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 5: But the editors must hate that twenty four hours on

123
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 5: twelve hours, it would him be twenty four hours, is it?

124
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 5: They've got to go mad pulling it together. Not their

125
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 5: favorite day of the year.

126
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: No, we cut it. They fly in and we cunt

127
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 4: it overnight. And then I don't like the voice.

128
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 2: Going to say, blowing the floating the booth. That's you.

129
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: Mad?

130
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: Last twenty four hours.

131
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: You sound like Barnesy after a weekend in their voice,

132
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: boot Maker.

133
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I've got to.

134
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: Be careful of on the Can I know it's like

135
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 5: choosing one of your children, but can I ask which

136
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 5: house do you think? Not asking which house is your favorite,

137
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,799
Speaker 5: asking which house do you think might make the most money?

138
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: Well, look, you know I get asked in a line

139
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 4: of course, but it's impossible for me to answer because

140
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 4: I'm always wrong number one. And it all depends on

141
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: the buyers on the day. In general public, the folks

142
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 4: that are big, they decide who wins and again the

143
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 4: most money because that's so much.

144
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, okay, well let's hope the buyers that the

145
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: bidding on the auction up put off by a possible

146
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: interest rate rise cheesy, which would be a Melbourn Cup day.

147
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: Last year, they did it last year, yes.

148
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: Before, Yeah, you're right, yeah, all right.

149
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, the block option has become a

150
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: bit of an iconic thing in Australian culture I think

151
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: and television that everybody talks about the block option. And

152
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 4: it's this weekend.

153
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 5: It is the grand finale this weekend, Sunday at seven

154
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: o'clock or seven o'clock as you like to say on

155
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 5: Channel nine, Scotty, have a mad, busy, wonderful weekend.

156
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: Look for the voice. But thank you, guys, thank you,

157
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: thank you, talk you
