Undeniably, 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.600 our TV sets are a major part of our home entertainment, 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.079 and yet very little is known about how our favorite 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.880 shows get made. So each episode I find guests the 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:24.640 one and I have just that little bit deeper into 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:26.920 the shows they're currently making, so that you can hear 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.000 all their exclusive stories and gain access to the biggest 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.400 names in Australian television. I want to thank you for 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.559 downloading or subscribing to this podcast however you've found it. 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.159 I love hearing your feedback, so make sure you leave 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.280 a review or a comment on your chosen podcast platform. 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.120 This chat, I'm joined by reality TV superstars Mitchard Mark, 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.440 who you would know from two seasons of the Block, 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.080 but are now here to talk about a new lifestyle 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.479 series which they are hosting for Network ten called Location, 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.880 Location Location. The charismatic duo will help ozzies find their 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.960 dream homes, whether they are first time by a downsizing 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.960 for retirement or whatever walk of life these people are from. Location. 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.399 Location Location is based on a British reality program that 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.080 has been on UK screen since two thousand. This is 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.800 a really fabulous opportunity for the boys as they are 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.560 the first gay couple to host a lifestyle program here 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.120 in Australia, and I think it's also really great to 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.880 see men of their age proving it's never too late 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.000 to be exactly who you want to be. I will 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.120 ask Mark about the fashion he will bring to this 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.120 season and how many clothes he made and sourced for 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.520 the show. Mark will talk about why the show was 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.040 a big surprise for him and why he hopes audiences 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.720 will tune in. The boys will also talk about how 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.600 they were approached for this reboot here in Australia, why 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.560 they didn't want to copy previous hosts, and what Endemol 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.520 Shine wanted from them. Plus we will get plenty of 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.240 exclusives from behind the scenes of Location Location Location, which 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.240 starts this Friday at seven thirty on Network ten and 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.200 will be available and will be available on ten plays 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:02.560 shortly after. Anyway, Let's spring the very fabulous Mitch Mark 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.440 into the podcast and guys, I really hope you enjoyed 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.320 this episode. Very excited boys to be talking to you 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.200 about this show. I actually saw you both at Mardi 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:15.520 Gras this year and I was blown away. Not I 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.160 shouldn't be, but I was blown away by the amount 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.520 of people that were in this bar that were trying 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.480 to get to you, to talk to the two of you. 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.840 It was just proof that there's so much popularity out 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:27.240 there for both of you. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.360 We have been very fortunate and lucky. People are so 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.880 nice when they come up and want to chat. We 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.760 will always make the time to say hello because people 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.000 are always so lovely. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.280 Well, you're both no stranger to the property market. When 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.480 I heard that Location Location was coming back, I've missed 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.880 a location there, but I think it's a perfect choice 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.919 and how exciting it is to be working on this show. 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.520 It is pretty cool and it is location, Location Location. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.000 We're not going to miss a location. Yeah. First up, 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.639 thank you so much that you see us as a fit. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.040 We were real and I mean I was in shock 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.760 when we were asked one to be considered and it wasn't. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.399 In shock he wasn't And then when you know, we 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.120 were invited to be the host. So one, it's a 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.680 huge onre because this is a format that has so 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.840 much credibility about it and so much history about it, So. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:16.880 What could go wrong? 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.120 Yeah, I think a lot of people have seen us 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.280 do what we do on the block, maybe didn't fully 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.919 know because we never really talked about it that we 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.920 had done a lot of property flipping, so we had 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.079 done a lot of buying and selling the properties. And 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.640 we looked always at the houses that we did on 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.000 the block as real estate as who would buy it 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.000 in the market, how would somebody live in this house? 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.400 So I love the fact that we can come to location, location, 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:47.560 location and help people share our experience. It's kind of like, hey, 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:52.360 twenty years of experience is here at your disposal and 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.600 we can kind of help them on the journey. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:04:01.400 And also to understand that location and home requirement very 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.480 very from suburb to suburb, even block to block, street 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:09.000 to street, and when people are looking at a home 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.600 in an area and let's say where you run into 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.280 that pub if you look get a home and Darlinghurst 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.600 and they draw a circle around that and say, look, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.320 I'll go from Darlinghurst to Surrey Hills to Haymarket to 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.240 wool and Mloo, Elizath Bay to rush Cutter's Bay. Every 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.240 little nuance changes with every in and out of a street, 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.840 in and out of a suburb, and there's so many 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.479 intero moving parts to location and to house, and it's 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.040 fun to help people work through that because we've done 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.320 a lot ourselves, and we tend to focus on comparing 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.320 apples with apples as much as you can, and sometimes 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.120 to the oranges and apples, but you've got to work 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:48.400 out what you're comparing things with and and work out 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.800 what's most important to you and which we've found on 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.120 the show that with Sometimes people think it's all about 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.279 the house and then willing to shift on location, but 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.160 then if they cross over a main row, over the 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.160 the wrong side of a main rate, in their mind, 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.680 all of a sudden they start to get twitchy. And 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.279 then they do realize, well, they've they've got to be 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.240 close to the beach, or close to the schools or 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.440 close to the park, and then their compromises have to 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.880 be well, they can't compromise on suburbs. So maybe they 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.200 can't have the three bedroom house. Maybe it's got to 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.479 be a two bedroom apartment. We kind of take on 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:23.080 that journey. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.080 Which is that is a real journey that people the 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.039 audience watching this show I think will be able to 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.920 relate to as well, because, of course, at the moment 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.400 is a hot topic. It's always been a hot topic, 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.599 and sometimes you do need to make those compromises. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.480 You know. What's interesting about what you were saying just 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.200 a bit before was about how when you're looking at 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.200 a house and you're thinking about the type of person 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.200 that you want to have in that house. I follow 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.200 everything you do on social media, and I saw that 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.240 you went to one of the houses that you built 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.039 for the block. Was that person that you met? Was 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.960 that similar to who you had in your mind when 0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.400 you were building that place? 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:01.520 A great question. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.960 A working professional couple with children, and that's exactly who 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:07.440 we thought would be in that house. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.160 Like it wasn't she? Because that lady, she was so wonderful. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.600 She pulled up and didn't expect to have us there, 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.120 saying could ask a favor, would you mind if we 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.120 just set a look inside. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.560 Sie my head in the front door. Once the head 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:20.040 was in. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.800 And was all and she kind of went, yeah, come 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:25.599 in and it's the same as we left it, and 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.320 we actually asked, do you enjoy living here? What's at like? 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.000 She said, absolutely, love it perfect, And we asked her. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.080 How they have they lived there as a family, and 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.000 that was exactly what we pictured that the family would need. 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.039 So the house worked for them the way we planned 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.200 it to work, which was kind of excited because we 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.719 we've tried to do that with every place with either renovated, 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.240 no matter how big or how small. We've tried to 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.360 envisit firstly, who would want to live there? Generally works. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.679 We have done some harborfront properties with really super sexy 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.000 bachelor pad vibe and then a little old lady buys 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.400 it and totally blows us away. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.280 What I like about getting that feedback from the resident, Well, 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.919 first off, she said the steam that steamshower room that 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.440 we put in. Said, before I came into this house, 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.600 I didn't think I wanted that in my house. She said, 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.560 Now I love it, you know, I live about it. Yeah, 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.480 I can't live without it. But it gave me personally 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.680 some satisfaction because of course I had some feedback that 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.760 was like, oh, this is not real estate goal. You know, 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.640 this is not going to work in the real estate market. 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.520 It worked in the real estate market, and we now 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:30.160 bring that knowledge because we trusted ourselves. We knew we knew, 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.920 and now on location occasional location, we're bringing that into 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.760 the real estate market in real time. It's not just 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.840 about how you make a bed or usual cushion, or 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.640 you know, how will your colors work. Yes, that is 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.000 part of making it feel good, but we are now 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.320 in a real estate market working with people who are 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.560 really trying to get in on budgets that vary, you know, 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.200 from needing to be very affordable. These are the bossy 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.440 families through to luxury. We are helping with what we 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:01.320 know about real estate. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.760 Also trying to help people have fun on the journey, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.080 because if they can relax and start to have a 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.760 bit of fun, they'll be able to think more clearly. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.360 If they're tense, which I think people of them can 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.840 get tense they're looking at properties, it's all about a decision. 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:16.600 I have to get it right. But if they can 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.760 be relaxed and shared some of their pressure our way, 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:21.560 they can go in there with more of a clear 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.760 mind and they can see the place for what it is, 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.760 rather than going in there scared and frightened that they're 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:29.360 going to be pushed into something they don't want. We 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.960 want them to be relaxed and actually think clearly, which 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.480 has been has been really positive, and we get invested. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.720 So we're overly invested in our people that we're on 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.320 a journey with them, and when they have success, the 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:46.319 chin starts quivering. The chin starts quivering watching my chin. 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:49.720 Not the people who are watching the show are going 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.960 to see that complete journey and the tears and the shock. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.560 You know, we've had people when we put the phone 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.920 down and can say the properties yours. They've accepted the offer, 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.960 people who have been trying for so long, just in shock. 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.920 And one of your couple, it was amazing. I was 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.960 behind the scenes watching this. I was in tears because 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.200 you can see that them, the relief and to be 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.960 able to be part of that is an amazing, pretty special. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.480 Just even talking to the both of you today, there's 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.600 something incredibly aspirational about the two of you, Like you 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.880 both look like you're from another world. You know, you're 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.199 almost like the genie from the lamp. You know, someone 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:31.439 someone's rubbed a lamp and you've turned up and you've 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.800 changed their lives in such an extraordinary way. But It's 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.199 the ability to be able to read people and give 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.800 them what they want that I think has been kind 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.680 of the magic of the two of you. In a way. 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.880 You're still so accessible even though you're the genie from 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:45.320 the lamp. 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.280 It's so funny been hearing you say things about the 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.679 lamp and rubbing it and see what happened. I was 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.800 thinking to myself, There's so much I could do with 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.439 a look, but I'm just staying well because that's a 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:57.720 mature person that I am. 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.040 It felt to me like for the last twelve months 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.600 that you were kind of auditioning for a show like this, 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.080 was that a particular ploy for endemol Shrine to see 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:07.920 what you were doing. 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.120 Our whole life has led to that moment. Then we 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.600 planned that we watched kirstin Field when they started twenty 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.360 years ago. Twenty years ago, we thought it, we're going 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.360 to get that show, and we're going to plan our 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.240 social media for twenty years to get there. 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.080 We are not that clever. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.480 I was wondering whether or not you'd pitch the idea 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.960 to them, or or how it had come about. So 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.560 you guys were just doing your thing and they've called 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.480 you and said, come an audition, so you've auditioned and 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.880 then obviously they're auditioning other people and you've beaten those 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.439 people for this role. I mean, it's it's an impressive 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.760 trajectory for anyone who's been on reality TV to then 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:43.720 get their own show. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.800 Yeah, I think that's true. We had I kind of remember. 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.240 I think we received maybe an email would we like 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.199 to have conversation, but you know, we're realisting that these 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.439 things don't come along, and I don't know we went 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.840 through the pros. When we finally had the contact saying 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.040 we would like you to host it, I was in 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:09.320 shock because, you know, really seriously. And I think then 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:12.320 because it's the first I think, from what I can 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.520 it's the first time that a same sex couple has 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.520 hosted a show. You know, we have gay people and 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.200 trans people, which is fantastic to see that representation, but 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:28.200 to be a same sex couple that I'm hosting a 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:33.360 prime show for Channel ten. How amazing the diversity that 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.280 can be represented. And I think I was just blown 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:37.679 away by that. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.440 Well, it says a lot about society though too men 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.319 not only the same sex couple, but also a couple 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.480 over sixty to start out with a new show. It 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:51.200 just shows that we have as society in Australia grown 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.319 so much that we think, you know what, you can 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.320 be old, you can be gay and it's okay, it's 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:57.319 a new tagline. 0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.680 We've come further in lots of ways that I don't 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.800 think we've even realized. But it is not just gay 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.240 people that love gay people. It's you know, it's a 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:06.640 wider audience than that. 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:07.440 Absolutely. 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.560 Yeah, So I love that diversity is being embraced that way. 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:16.240 Yeah. Absolutely. What's different about this series in twenty twenty 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:18.520 three because we have seen an incarnation of this show 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.320 on our Telly before you know what tweaks. Do you 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.440 know that they've done from what we saw last time 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.640 it was on Australian screens to what it is now. 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.360 I think in a nutshell. Last time they did a 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.680 version of kristin Phil. It was young, a younger version 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.920 of Christian Phil, kind of very different, but it was 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.319 a version of that show. This time I think that 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:43.199 actually decided to do the same the same pretense of show, 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:48.640 but work with a different different, a different couple Christian 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.240 Phil two people that work well together, beautifully together, and 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.720 Mark and I one were a couple, so it makes 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.440 it probably a little more intimate. All so, they've just 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.360 let us be ourselves. We love got Churstian Phil and 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.880 we're very different and we thought we can't be them, 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:07.040 and the network has been very clear on we don't 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.680 want you to be them, we want you to be you, 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.959 but just being us. So I think because we're playing ourselves. 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.600 It's funny we talk about reality TV. You've had experience 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:18.800 in reality reality TV as of we, and this is 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.360 called lifestyle. I kind of think that this is real life. 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.280 It is real life, but I don't know if that's 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.080 necessarily true, because the best reality TV contestants are the 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.240 ones that who are genuinely that you know. The magic 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.520 moments that you get are the moments where you're being 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.080 yourself and it's captured. And as I've said, i've met 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.160 you guys in person, who I see on television in 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.880 reality and who you are in this new show. All 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.760 of these things, they're all very real. They're very authentic. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.360 You're being very truthful about who you are, and people 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:47.800 love that. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:52.560 I guess it's interesting to talk about that because for me, 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.320 I almost a bit like you can't be anything. My 0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.800 brain just doesn't compute with how can you be anything 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:03.000 other than you? And maybe that the journey as gay men. 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.080 Maybe it's from the era that I went through. You know, 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.520 Mitch had his journey. We were in an era where 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.480 in the sixties. I mean I was born in ninety 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.240 sixty one, so I remember the teenage years and the seventies. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.480 In the eighties, you know, you were not cool, you 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:22.000 were not to be seen. So you know, maybe kids, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.280 I had three kids, But maybe from my journey was 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.720 I didn't know that you could be anything other than yourself. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.560 I think what we bring to this show in twenty 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:36.520 twenty three is us, our fun, our knowledge, and it 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.960 just reflects the change in society over time. But it's 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.560 still a show that is about helping people in their 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.280 property journey, and people who may have had ups and 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.800 downs about property and feel frustrated and been disappointed. We're 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.800 still there to help them through the emotional process of 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.920 buying a property, identifying a property, and hopefully with a 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.400 bit of fun along the way. A few home truths 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:01.320 maybe as well. 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:03.920 It's also you guys, that's on brand for you. I 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.920 love a home truth, home truth. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.920 So sometimes I've tried I thought to myself. I actually 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.680 can't say this. I can't say this to this couple, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.840 but the people in posts said, oh, you didn't open 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.640 your mouth, but actually fell out of your eyes. 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:18.800 But it's a good way to be. I think just 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.880 being naturally yourself. I think being authentic is you know 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.320 the way to go. Even when you have something that's truth, 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.760 it's hard for people to understand. As long as it's 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:28.560 there's no malice in it, As long as you're just 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:30.920 being genuine, I feel like people can take it on board. 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.120 Yeah, it's a difference maybe that we see No, it's 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.320 not a difference, but how we approach it is the 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:37.200 process of coaching. 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.320 Did you guys watch it so just before? Yeah, I've 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.040 got so many things to ask you, But did you watch? 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:43.080 Because I started watching it today I started like they're 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.920 up to series thirty nine in the UK. You know, 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:47.840 once you said yes to doing this, did you go 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:50.960 and watch a lot of the UK version? And did 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.320 you borrow anything that you saw from that series? 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.280 We had seen the show before we were asked because 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.200 we're in the property and we really really enjoyed that 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:03.120 show in particular, But after we started filming, we then 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.200 watched a few more episodes after we were filming, and 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.800 then it was like, oh wow, that's what we're doing there. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.720 So we watched it through different eyes after we'd started. 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.200 So I gave us more admiration for kirstin film, Yeah, 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.040 even more. You know, we liked it. But then we 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.160 watched it and when you guys you know your stuff. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.600 Yeah we did, and we thought, oh wow, they did 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:25.480 that so well. I think I fucked up last week. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.200 I'm assuming Mitch as well, that you've designed a lot 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.760 of your own fashion as usual. How many outfits did 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.240 you need to make or sauce for a season of 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:37.680 this show. 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.520 I had quite a big colletion. I sourced a few 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.520 more pieces Mark Mark needed more because. 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:45.840 He's My style is a little more calm than. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.120 Easier to find most of mindless stuff that I designed before, 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.120 and I've just been on a big design spree before 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:56.320 we started filming, so I had a whole lot of 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:57.600 spare stuff in the trunk. 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.440 So people watching the episodes, each episod so they're going 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.480 to see mitche well, both of us, but multiple there's 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.080 always a reason for it else. 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:07.240 Color for you today. 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.560 I love it the colors. I still always will think 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.080 of this one iconic moment of television, and that is 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.560 Scotti cam. I think he said something along the lines 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.320 I've never looked more vanilla, or it's iconic for you 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.320 to do that, you know. And I also think it 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.480 takes a lot of courage to do that as well, 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.439 because I think a lot of people spend time at 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.240 home going, oh, I want to buy that dress, so 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.000 I want to buy that suit, I want to look 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.320 a little bit extra, But then they don't do it 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.680 where I feel like for the two of you being 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.000 like that gives people at home that sort of enthusiasm 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.680 to go and represent hood themselves, you know, with their fashion. 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:43.520 I think it's with fashion you get to I've got 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.520 your stage in life where I decided to please meet 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.680 and if people like it, that's so lovely, and if 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.160 they don't like it, there has to be okay. If 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.560 I get negative press on my fashion, it's like, it's 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.080 okay because I'm not doing it for not doing it 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.960 for everybody and doing for me out of people like it, 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.760 that's a that's a lovely compliment. And if they like 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.960 it enough, they can buy it at our store, and 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:06.720 that's a better compliment. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.760 That's better, But then what you're touching on there. I 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.400 remember talking to somebody in our shop six or eight 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.800 months ago and we were talking about brand. She was 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.320 from marketing. She said, oh, you know your brand, you gus. 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:19.960 I said, well, I think we're about color. You know 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.720 in the store we're not beige, and she was great. 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.119 She just looked at me and she said, no, you 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.520 guys aren't about color. What do you mean? She said, 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.000 You're actually about confidence? 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:31.280 And what do you mean? 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.160 She said, true, you're about letting somebody come in here 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.600 and feel confident, to give it a go, to try something. Said, 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.080 we give them permission. We give them permission to have 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.600 that confidence. And that's I suddenly went, which is nice, 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:46.440 that's true? 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:48.560 And it is true because I think you know what 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.080 it is confidence? Because if I wore some of your 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.720 clothes it would look like Walt Disney threw up on me. However, 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.640 because you can wear it with that confidence, it gives 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.280
