Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload the podcast.
Speaker 2: Last week The Light.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to TV Reload. My name's Benjamin Norris, and
Speaker 1: on this podcast I go behind the scenes with the
Speaker 1: biggest players in television. Each episode you will get a
Speaker 1: front row seat with content makers like executive producers, writers, editors,
Speaker 1: and casting agents, plus the talent that we see on
Speaker 1: our screens. TV Reload reloads the shows that you were
Speaker 1: currently watching and gives you a better insight into our
Speaker 1: television industry and our streaming services.
Speaker 3: Today.
Speaker 1: On the podcast, I have Dylan and Jenny from The
Speaker 1: Block Tree Change, who were quickly becoming two of the
Speaker 1: most celebrated contestants ever seen on the series. Dylan and
Speaker 1: Jenny are exactly who you see on screen. You want
Speaker 1: to have a laugh with them, you want to have
Speaker 1: a beer with them, and you want them to help
Speaker 1: you build your dream house. Jenny is a female trade
Speaker 1: and Dylan is a laid back Aussie bloke, and they
Speaker 1: both are in the trade, giving them a massive leg
Speaker 1: up in the competition. The Block Tree Change is the
Speaker 1: biggest block we have ever seen, and what is one
Speaker 1: of the fans is their attitude within their stressful environments.
Speaker 1: Fans would be interested to know they worried at times
Speaker 1: that they were too quiet. However, it seems just being
Speaker 1: themselves is what people love about them. I will ask
Speaker 1: Dylan and Jenny questions from the fans what the drama
Speaker 1: was really like when they are getting married, who they
Speaker 1: think will win the most amount of money, and what's
Speaker 1: the most outrageous story they've read about themselves online. However,
Speaker 1: let's get started with today's guest. I'd like to welcome
Speaker 1: Dylan and Jenny to TV Reload.
Speaker 2: We honestly did get along with everyone on the show.
Speaker 4: Meet Jenny and Dylan from a gold cut. Will you
Speaker 4: watch it bart with the rest of us, Shaia and
Speaker 4: we're just where's where we are dumbfounded.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's all changed for the better, I
Speaker 2: really do, and I feel like it suits the aesthetic
Speaker 2: of the rest of the house.
Speaker 4: You could be the couple go oh, they're just like
Speaker 4: they've battled the whole way through.
Speaker 3: End up making them motsu. At the end when a
Speaker 3: nine on the block tree change taking out ten thousand.
Speaker 2: Bucks, We've done the biggest and most craziest block ever.
Speaker 3: High score come series end, chooses auction order.
Speaker 2: Once I finished my apprenticeship, I want to do like
Speaker 2: an interior DISI cose too, So I've just got the
Speaker 2: double whammy.
Speaker 1: Hi Dylan and Jenny, thanks for coming on the podcast
Speaker 1: and talking about the Block.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having We're excited to be here.
Speaker 1: I love your journey on the show, and I think
Speaker 1: you both can hold your head high with the way
Speaker 1: that you've handled the madness of the competition.
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, it was actual madness, was it ever?
Speaker 2: But yeah, I know we almost held to head high
Speaker 2: and just kept trucking along, didn't lift. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you have any tips on how to stay cool,
Speaker 1: calm and collected? I need it, but also people that
Speaker 1: are listening to this may need it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just keep yourself occupied and worry about what anyone
Speaker 2: else is doing. Pretty much.
Speaker 1: I think the silliness at times that folk dance, particularly Dylan,
Speaker 1: is a great break from some of the other dramas
Speaker 1: that seem to have happened on the Block twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, for sure.
Speaker 1: Is the drama as intense as what we have seen
Speaker 1: in the final edit? I mean, are you watching it
Speaker 1: back with the others you know and thinking, wow, I
Speaker 1: had no idea that this had happened.
Speaker 4: Saying where you watch it, but with the rest of
Speaker 4: us Shaia, and we're just where where dumb dumbfounded.
Speaker 2: But when we do get to catch up on the
Speaker 2: Tuesday Winners grin As nights and then the Friday nights
Speaker 2: at Scotty's, we do talk and everyone kind of says
Speaker 2: what's been going on, but probably not to the extreme
Speaker 2: that it actually is happening. So it is pretty interesting
Speaker 2: for us to see what's actually happening. Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Do you think that, you know, people should be mindful
Speaker 1: of how you come across? I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: whether or not you guys were thinking, okay, we've got
Speaker 1: to play this a certain way. I know that if
Speaker 1: I was on the block, I'd be like, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: on my best behavior. But do you think some of
Speaker 1: the others should be more mindful of, you know, how
Speaker 1: the rest of Australia is going to see them.
Speaker 2: We were honestly ourselves, like that's what we went in thinking,
Speaker 2: We're just going to be ourselves and if people like it,
Speaker 2: they like and if they don't, they don't work. But
Speaker 2: in real life, we're not drama queens or We don't
Speaker 2: try and start fights or really care about talking about
Speaker 2: other people behind their back or anything like that. So
Speaker 2: we honestly we're just ourselves. And I guess that's what
Speaker 2: people see, maybe in real in like the real well,
Speaker 2: maybe a bit more loud because we're not so tired,
Speaker 2: But that is what you see, is what you get with.
Speaker 4: Us for the rest in terms of taming it down, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: but then also it makes you good.
Speaker 3: Tell you, I think you.
Speaker 2: Do have to have that drama and I guess all
Speaker 2: different times, different going on personalities for the show to
Speaker 2: work as well.
Speaker 4: For three months intensities, you can only afford to be yourself.
Speaker 4: You can't be someone else because sooner or later it's
Speaker 4: going to come out here you are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know if you're gonna you got
Speaker 1: the big straw. You didn't get the short straw. You
Speaker 1: got the big straw. On the sense that you guys
Speaker 1: are being portrayed as the most loveliest people in the world,
Speaker 1: I read somewhere online today someone said you are their
Speaker 1: favorite block couple ever.
Speaker 2: Oh that was so nice. It's actually so nice because
Speaker 2: we were at the shops today and we can't get
Speaker 2: like one hundred meters into the shopping center without people
Speaker 2: coming up to us, which is so fun, and it's like,
Speaker 2: so nice. But everyone is so nice to us and
Speaker 2: just says, oh, you're such lovely people. But that's so
Speaker 2: cute to hear from other people.
Speaker 1: Also, this may be a little bit rude, but someone
Speaker 1: said to me, Oh, I love that couple, you know,
Speaker 1: the guy that's a little bit funny looking. And I
Speaker 1: was like, what the hell are you talking about? I
Speaker 1: met I met you in person, Dylan, And when I
Speaker 1: came home from the tours, I said to my partner,
Speaker 1: there's one guy that's you know, he's a really he's
Speaker 1: a good looking rooster. And you know, it's funny that
Speaker 1: someone has described you that way?
Speaker 4: Is that the first thing you although you're talking about Tommy.
Speaker 2: Actually deal with that a few a few crushes online over.
Speaker 4: Here, guys, But thank you, Ben, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Does you This is a good question to ask you, guys,
Speaker 1: because as the show goes on, does your relationship with
Speaker 1: the other contestants change, Like, let's just say, from when
Speaker 1: you first met them and now you're watching it on television,
Speaker 1: has the relationship with the others evolved? Oh?
Speaker 2: We honestly did get along with everyone on the show.
Speaker 2: We are probably more closer to some than others. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it definitely does evolve as it goes on.
Speaker 2: Like after filming, we went to Adelaide for some meet
Speaker 2: and greets with Sarah Jane and Tom and Rachel Ryan,
Speaker 2: and I guess that made us, well them, yeah, closer.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're closer to some other than others, I guess.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure who would hang out with if we
Speaker 3: weren't on the show.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I can see all of you guys being
Speaker 1: friend friends. The only thing is that the others seem
Speaker 1: to gossip a lot. You know, did you guys actively
Speaker 1: decide not to gossip? I mean I could not gossip
Speaker 1: with Sarah Jane. I saw her on those house coillers
Speaker 1: and I didn't know the woman and I already was
Speaker 1: saying for some things that I shouldn't have been saying.
Speaker 3: We die. I think that's at the start.
Speaker 4: Some of the producers are get annoyed when they we
Speaker 4: need more obviously cruise, And I know it might seem
Speaker 4: like I'm doing the perfect show coming on not being
Speaker 4: me and god anyone or gossip.
Speaker 3: That's just me. I just don't have it much of
Speaker 3: an opinion on other things.
Speaker 2: We definitely would gossip, but not really gossip about people
Speaker 2: behind their back. So if we wanted to say something,
Speaker 2: we'd just say it to their their face kind of Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's like boring to people, but
Speaker 2: we're like, we just don't want to talk like crap
Speaker 2: about other people behind their back.
Speaker 1: I like the idea of you guys still gossiping with
Speaker 1: everybody and enjoying gossiping with everyone, but they've never played
Speaker 1: it on television because it wasn't good gossip.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, they're not bad too good.
Speaker 1: I was talking to this forum today, So there's a
Speaker 1: forum on Facebook. You've probably been told by producers and
Speaker 1: the medical people, you know, the health people not to
Speaker 1: read anything online. But I was talking on the forum
Speaker 1: of the Block Australia twenty twenty two. Fans. Yeah, they are.
Speaker 1: They are obsessed with you, like massive love for you
Speaker 1: is contestants and people were asking me, you know, when
Speaker 1: I said I was going to catch up with you today,
Speaker 1: They're like, when are they having a baby, When are
Speaker 1: they getting married? When can they come to my house
Speaker 1: for dinner? Like it was or.
Speaker 2: No babies yet, but we're getting married in March next
Speaker 2: she is twenty fourth to March. Locked it in. We
Speaker 2: actually found deal suit today for the wedding. Pretty good.
Speaker 1: Can you tell us what it is? Can you give
Speaker 1: us an exclusive? Different?
Speaker 2: It's kind of a different color. We were looking at,
Speaker 2: like the sandy type of colors for him, but then
Speaker 2: we went for something completely different.
Speaker 3: Emerald green, not.
Speaker 2: Not that green. More on the more on the gray song.
Speaker 2: I know it's hard to explode. You have to say it.
Speaker 1: I can't wait, And let's just say all green suits
Speaker 1: will be sold out for twenty twenty three after you
Speaker 1: have modeled.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 3: That funny looking bike in the green suit.
Speaker 1: Yeh, No, stop saying that. We're going to say that. No,
Speaker 1: there's a good looking rooster in the green suit. If
Speaker 1: you do go into business together, I wonder who would
Speaker 1: be the boss?
Speaker 2: We are We are in business together building companies. We've
Speaker 2: got a building company. But I reckon we're both boss.
Speaker 2: I'm probably more boss, Lady vibes.
Speaker 3: The second year apparents, which is the boss?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's happening?
Speaker 3: Which is with that? Then?
Speaker 1: One hundred? Like, I'm sorry, but anyone who wants to
Speaker 1: be the boss in a relationship. That's a hard job.
Speaker 1: I'll be on the couch.
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, I think I'm definitely the boss. I say,
Speaker 2: what's going on? Keep on his toes, Jenny.
Speaker 1: How long have you got left of your apprenticeship? That
Speaker 1: was another one of these questions that I had from
Speaker 1: some of the super fans out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well I'm on my second year, so I'll be
Speaker 2: doing four years. Two more years, yeah, two more years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so four years all up?
Speaker 1: Have you thought about like how you can evolve the
Speaker 1: business to make sure that you get the most amount
Speaker 1: of exposure and the most amount of work after doing
Speaker 1: the block? I mean, I'm sure you guys are going
Speaker 1: to get booked out for a long time.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, as I wanted to do once I finished my apprenticeship,
Speaker 2: I want to do like an interior design force too.
Speaker 2: So I've just got like the double whammy. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: we're just going to keep slipping home. So we've just
Speaker 2: finished our house in Palm Beach. We building when we
Speaker 2: found out we're on the block, and so once we
Speaker 2: finished the block, we had to go back and finish
Speaker 2: the building Palm Beach, which was awesome.
Speaker 3: I've got some paining help on this one too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: a bonus.
Speaker 2: The painters are in there now actually getting it done,
Speaker 2: So we'll be moving in in two weeks and then
Speaker 2: we'll sell it after the auction maybe, and yeah, go
Speaker 2: from there again.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope you get a lot of money out
Speaker 1: of that auction. And I think that you guys are
Speaker 1: going to be incredibly successful. I mean, I think your
Speaker 1: styling is fantastic and that it's been a real talent.
Speaker 1: You know. I want to know where did you get
Speaker 1: an inspiration from? Like, where do you get your inspiration
Speaker 1: to be such a good stylist.
Speaker 2: I hope I have a good stylist. But honestly, from
Speaker 2: day one, what I've learned from oh my gosh, it's
Speaker 2: crazy what you learn in such a short amount of time.
Speaker 4: That small feedback that you get, yeah, you get, well,
Speaker 4: you do get a lot more feedback than what they
Speaker 4: do show on TV.
Speaker 2: So Scotty says everything that the judges say, and you
Speaker 2: just take it all on board. And I absorbed it
Speaker 2: like a sponge and you just take it away and
Speaker 2: learn so much each week. So yeah, I grew so
Speaker 2: much on the block.
Speaker 3: It was insane. It's crazy as it might sound on heart.
Speaker 4: We never even went on pinches orthing like that because
Speaker 4: we didn't ever torn.
Speaker 2: Was just like, go Jen, Yeah, So what I would do,
Speaker 2: I'd pick, say, like the best color that I want
Speaker 2: that week, and then choose the art work and then
Speaker 2: choose like the style and stuff. But I only ever
Speaker 2: used like the block bucks, so it's like whatever we
Speaker 2: could get, I would just go to the block blocks
Speaker 2: like shops.
Speaker 3: And yeah, get it was the same.
Speaker 4: Then Sunday morning pos start coming out and I'm like,
Speaker 4: do you even think of it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Or like I'd put a mood board together at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the week or something and just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: put it all together. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: I've actually seen this Sunday's episode. I was watching it
Speaker 1: just before I'm talking to you, and so I've seen
Speaker 1: the pillows by the way Dylan and I and I've
Speaker 1: seen the finished product for you, and it's like a
Speaker 1: warm hug from mum, you know, when you know it's
Speaker 1: cold and you have some like some Scotch whiskey or
Speaker 1: something and you get that warm heart. I don't know
Speaker 1: whether I'm making people drink alcohol whiles talking to. I
Speaker 1: just felt like the entire thing came together, like once
Speaker 1: you've done the retoo redo room. And I've gotta be
Speaker 1: really careful so I can't say any spoilers, but it's
Speaker 1: just amazing, guys, amazing.
Speaker 2: Oh thank you so much. Oh that redio rooms.
Speaker 3: That's what we wanted to do.
Speaker 4: We just got We're just exhausted when we first did it.
Speaker 4: That's what we chose. Like Lian style, we don't give
Speaker 4: too much away, and that's what we originally chose.
Speaker 2: From the beginning. We went to Freedom and chose that lounge.
Speaker 2: And then I changed my mind because I thought, oh,
Speaker 2: it's not country enough because we were getting kind of
Speaker 2: hammered with the judges. They were saying you need to
Speaker 2: be more country. So I was like, oh, maybe it's
Speaker 2: too contemporary. I just wish I did it from the beginning,
Speaker 2: but oh well, at least we've got a readio room.
Speaker 1: It worked to the end. I mean, sometimes you have
Speaker 1: to go backwards to go forwards. I'm starting to sound
Speaker 1: like Oprah here and I don't know what the hell
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, but I need to ask you, what
Speaker 1: was the hardest thing about this competition? Something that you
Speaker 1: would only understand if you'd been contestants on this show.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yeah for us, definitely the sleep Like you
Speaker 2: don't realize. You can say it as much as you
Speaker 2: want to people how much you didn't sleep, but until
Speaker 2: you've actually lived that, you will never understand. You just
Speaker 2: can't prepare yourself for it.
Speaker 3: It's going to be the lack of sleep. Yeah, for
Speaker 3: twelve weeks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then by the end, yes, pretty much the
Speaker 4: zombie pretty much.
Speaker 1: I saw you, but I met you both in the
Speaker 1: flesh that last you know, the last I think it's
Speaker 1: the second last week of filming. It was the last
Speaker 1: week of building anyway, I mean, doing everything. And you
Speaker 1: both didn't look bad like. You both didn't look tired.
Speaker 1: You both looked perfectly normal. So oh yeah, if I don't,
Speaker 1: if I haven't had any sleep, but I do, I
Speaker 1: look like this. I'll tell you that much right now.
Speaker 2: I definitely didn't feel normal.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons why I thought that I would
Speaker 1: never be able to do the block is because I
Speaker 1: hate flat packs, like I have every single thing. If
Speaker 1: something comes in from like here, my partners like get
Speaker 1: out of the way, and I ruined it the exact
Speaker 1: same time the exact same way every single time. Does
Speaker 1: it say something about me as a person? Could I
Speaker 1: not do the block because I can't do flat packs?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 2: I don't think we'll ever do a flat pack to
Speaker 2: get after the block.
Speaker 4: In that kids room, if there was footage, I was
Speaker 4: like I had instructions, like banging my head on the ground,
Speaker 4: going what is this?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That flat pack took us hours, Like we can
Speaker 2: knock up a few walls in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4: It's the instructions I do now, Ben, it's no put
Speaker 4: number one, number two. It's a dou holding something and
Speaker 4: you've got to figure out what shape he studies and
Speaker 4: then where it's going and how he's holding it.
Speaker 3: Where's that?
Speaker 1: I reckon those people? Where's our care from? Again? What's
Speaker 1: what countries? O here? Sweden? Is it Sweden? I think
Speaker 1: the Swiss? Yeah, I think it might be Sweden. I reckon.
Speaker 1: They're all laughing at it. So I reckon that those
Speaker 1: instructions and those pictures, those diagrams that they've got, they're
Speaker 1: like this Australia is going to the good luck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they would be thinking that because we
Speaker 2: almost were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, just throw the book out and just try
Speaker 1: and do it yourself. I reckon. You know, there was
Speaker 1: a lot of discussion from we should unpack a little
Speaker 1: bit of last week's episode. The last you know, few
Speaker 1: episodes we saw Sharon and Uncle. They were being you know,
Speaker 1: they were fifty thousand dollars in the red or eighty
Speaker 1: thousand somewhere in the red. It was unbelievable. But is
Speaker 1: that something unusual? Like is this the that can't be
Speaker 1: the first time this has happened, or that can't be them.
Speaker 1: That can't be them just going over that amount of money.
Speaker 4: Right, Oh, because I did get some or from the
Speaker 4: start almwoards that were getting some crazy bills.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I like that if you get say, two weeks.
Speaker 4: In a row of mental bills, out landish bills, you
Speaker 4: can never bring that back. And then she's just like
Speaker 4: consecutively get going on that. It's just compounding every week.
Speaker 3: So isn't it.
Speaker 4: I don't find it that hard to believe that they
Speaker 4: could go out far behind for a while.
Speaker 2: Well, their plaster bill was like twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 2: just for the living room and if you don't win, and.
Speaker 4: They had one for seven e grand as well, So
Speaker 4: there's pretty almost a fifty right there in plassroom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if we weren't chippies, we probably I guess
Speaker 2: because he's an accountant, she's an actress that I don't
Speaker 2: even think they know how to hang a painting, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, you know, so how could
Speaker 2: they couldn't do anything like work wise? So that's why
Speaker 2: they had to pay people as well.
Speaker 4: Also, disadvantage has not been in the trade or having
Speaker 4: any ideas, like you would never know how much things
Speaker 4: were meant to roughly costs. Yeah, look, seventeen grand for
Speaker 4: passing it is what it is. She's got to pay it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we go seventeen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're like what that's about. That's why what she
Speaker 2: costs for the whole house.
Speaker 1: I was about to say, come to think of it,
Speaker 1: she was on neighbors and I remember in neighbors in
Speaker 1: the background, none of those pictures were hung properly. So
Speaker 1: you know, I feel bad in some ways for them
Speaker 1: because I think that complaining is a very common Australian currency.
Speaker 1: I seem to do it and I have to stop
Speaker 1: myself from doing it, like my mum will ring. How
Speaker 1: have you been and you're like, oh, you know, the
Speaker 1: dog got bitten or whatever. I think it's something that
Speaker 1: we inherently do, but when we see it on television,
Speaker 1: it seems like these people are complaining all the time,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, oh, And it would be it honestly would
Speaker 2: be tough for them. Even when I started my apprenticeship
Speaker 2: and we drive home after the massive day, you would
Speaker 2: be honestly wrecked and then you'd get a good night's sleep.
Speaker 2: So it's like them starting their apprenticeship on the block
Speaker 2: and then they don't even get to have one break
Speaker 2: and they're not used to it at all. So I
Speaker 2: think like they did well, Like, yeah, it does look
Speaker 2: like they complain a lot. It's tough, like it is
Speaker 2: really tough. So I think they get credit for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah they're feeling us. Yeah, something wrong with that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'd be the same I'd they'd be.
Speaker 1: They gave me if I was working on that big
Speaker 1: house and I was losing my mind, They'd come and
Speaker 1: shot a camera in my face and I'd be like,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'm a swamp donkey and just start
Speaker 1: saying the worst things to be So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to be like a lot of the
Speaker 1: people that we've seen online who are so critical of them.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of compassion. So yeah, do you
Speaker 1: text a lot and send them a message and say
Speaker 1: it's all right, it's all right, Sharon, pull yourselves together,
Speaker 1: or try and pick them up the phone.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm really close to them, but I always
Speaker 2: message Sharon and make sure she's okay because she is
Speaker 2: getting a lot of backlash online. And it's just like
Speaker 2: people online realizes they've never done the block, how actually
Speaker 2: hard it is.
Speaker 3: So yeah, they always told them.
Speaker 4: I was like, every time I was speaking, I'm like,
Speaker 4: you don't know, like you are doing so well, Like
Speaker 4: I do this for a living, and this is one
Speaker 4: of the I'm like, yeah, you are killing it, mate.
Speaker 4: Just keep trucking because when they want to leave and stuff,
Speaker 4: just keep going on, just killing it. Yeah, this is
Speaker 4: tough for us trade. He's like, he's doing a cracking job.
Speaker 4: And you've got the biggest house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, that house would.
Speaker 4: Have been the poor guys just choosing the biggest house
Speaker 4: at the start.
Speaker 3: It was always going to happen.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, do you think the relationship with
Speaker 1: the show will change if they end up making say
Speaker 1: three quarters of a million dollars.
Speaker 2: Oh your hope. So hopefully they go, oh okay, that
Speaker 2: was worth it. Honestly, if we would have liked them
Speaker 2: and won the car, we would have been cheering. So
Speaker 2: they're probably stoked that they got to win the Ford
Speaker 2: Everest at the Ford Challenge.
Speaker 3: A brand new cart.
Speaker 1: Do you imagine scott a camp when they win all
Speaker 1: the money and then they go and apply to do
Speaker 1: the season next year. Guys, we'll come back and do
Speaker 1: it again. You're just like, yeah, here, every trading in
Speaker 1: the country scatter.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh well makes good TV.
Speaker 1: Though, do you think that going back to the coul
Speaker 1: de Sac next year is the right move for the show?
Speaker 1: I mean, this has been such a massive challenge and
Speaker 1: they've really expanded how difficult the competition is. Do you
Speaker 1: think it's the right move for them to go back
Speaker 1: into doing a smaller a smaller house.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I
Speaker 4: think they just didn't don't have another option.
Speaker 3: I don't think you can do that. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 3: think you do that again.
Speaker 2: I don't think you could ever top that, Like, we've
Speaker 2: done the biggest and most craziest block ever, and I
Speaker 2: don't think that they could top it like that our
Speaker 2: property ever. I think our property is the biggest. We've
Speaker 2: got thirteen acres. I just don't think they'd be able
Speaker 2: to do that again.
Speaker 4: And it's just crazy for contestants, but it was crazy
Speaker 4: for a run behind the scenes, everyone involved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they need to do the Coldestack again
Speaker 2: just to kind of get back to nor normality.
Speaker 1: I just pictured the executive producer Duels picking up the
Speaker 1: phone and ringing the head of Channel nine, We're going
Speaker 1: to do another season and they just be like that'd
Speaker 1: be like, no, You've lost no chance. Who do you
Speaker 1: think is going to do well at this final action?
Speaker 1: Because I let's talk about it now. Like I've not
Speaker 1: been able to ask for anyone so far, but I
Speaker 1: feel like we can talk about it now because we're
Speaker 1: getting very close. Tell me who you think is going
Speaker 1: to do well? Like Top two yourself, take yourselves out of.
Speaker 2: It, win, take ourselves out of it. Yeah, Top House
Speaker 2: one and two one and two?
Speaker 1: Okay? Is that because of the house or is that
Speaker 1: because of the people, or is that a mismatch of
Speaker 1: both of those things.
Speaker 4: I reckon us is the most complete along with ours, Yeah,
Speaker 4: and then the other or probably not so much. But
Speaker 4: three and five, three and five and three has an
Speaker 4: amazing architecture to it as well, so that's also there
Speaker 4: for anyone's taken.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but on like the finished product definitely Ours House
Speaker 2: oneed House two, and then three and five. Well, you
Speaker 2: never know, you honestly never know. You can't even call
Speaker 2: it because it will get to the day and everyone
Speaker 2: will be like wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Watching the show last year was so bizarre because
Speaker 1: Mitch and Mark was such a shock to me, like
Speaker 1: I just didn't see them getting this amount of money.
Speaker 1: But also like Tenure and Vito, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, the fact that they'd kind of been, you know,
Speaker 1: a bit strange through the season. I thought that would
Speaker 1: play into it. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: it's a very interesting show because we're watching it and
Speaker 1: no one knows what is going to happen, not even
Speaker 1: the producers that well.
Speaker 2: I think that's why most of Ustralia tune in to
Speaker 2: watch because it is such an interesting like that Sunday
Speaker 2: night when somebody wins, everyone is like so eager to
Speaker 2: find out because literally no one knows what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: It's just up to whoever wants to buy the houses.
Speaker 4: And exactly right, like over the past or eighteen seasons,
Speaker 4: Yeah you could be the couple. Go oh, they're just
Speaker 4: like they've battled the whole way through, end up making
Speaker 4: the motster at the end just happened.
Speaker 2: Like look at when Tess and Luke won. They got
Speaker 2: cut off and everything, and then they won and you're like, wow,
Speaker 2: I didn't see that coming.
Speaker 1: I think those guys, it might have been them, went
Speaker 1: online today in the morning said guys, stop trolling all
Speaker 1: the people from the block. I'm pretty sure it's them.
Speaker 1: It was that did it. It was actually really quite
Speaker 1: nice because they did it on a site where they'd
Speaker 1: been quite a bit of trolling, and I just thought
Speaker 1: it was really nice that, you know, with all of
Speaker 1: their money that they've got, that they can still care
Speaker 1: about everyone else.
Speaker 3: True.
Speaker 1: Did you see this is a good rumor, And I
Speaker 1: want to clear up. Did you see the trade's visiting
Speaker 1: House five after hours?
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was lots of cars there at House five
Speaker 2: after hour. Well that's why, or you've probably seen in
Speaker 2: the coming episodes won't have any spoilers, but me and
Speaker 2: always have a little bit of a because I'm like,
Speaker 2: how are you guys affording to do what you do?
Speaker 2: And they claiming that they're going to get a helipad,
Speaker 2: which I don't want to be a spoiler but doesn't happen.
Speaker 4: And.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be, but I just kind of
Speaker 2: got a bit mad at them because yeah, I was just, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just a frustrating. Oh sorry, hang on my phone. Sorry,
Speaker 2: my phone's about to die. I understand it.
Speaker 1: Run to the charge, don't worry. That's happened to me before.
Speaker 2: It was like, half, I don't know how it's gone
Speaker 2: downst quickly.
Speaker 1: Look, well we've only got five minutes to go anyway,
Speaker 1: so it's all good.
Speaker 3: That's all right.
Speaker 1: I was like particularly nervous about talking to you guys,
Speaker 1: because I had no idea how popular you both were.
Speaker 1: I mean, I loved you, but I had no idea
Speaker 1: until I started doing all the research yesterday and then today,
Speaker 1: Like I just was like, and I've been so comfortable
Speaker 1: talking to everyone else, Like I talked to Tom and
Speaker 1: Sarah Jane right at the start. So I was like, guys,
Speaker 1: how are you going. You know, you also haven't built
Speaker 1: up your own television relationship with the people either, so
Speaker 1: then even just seeing you and my screen down there,
Speaker 1: it's very strange to me because I've been watching you
Speaker 1: so intently for so long.
Speaker 2: Oh thank you, that's so nice.
Speaker 1: I wrote it to one of my best friends this morning.
Speaker 1: She said, what are you doing today? And we have
Speaker 1: lunch and I said no, and she said who are
Speaker 1: you interviewing? And I listed all the people and she
Speaker 1: straight away said, oh, can you make sure you asked them?
Speaker 1: Why did she ask? It was a stupid question. I asked,
Speaker 1: When you sell the houses, do you sell the furniture
Speaker 1: and all of the stuff in it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Everything, So all the style in that we have
Speaker 2: to buy gets sold with the house, which is also
Speaker 2: wild because it's all even even just one of those
Speaker 2: little Swell armchairs that I bought three grand. That's just
Speaker 2: one item in the whole house, so oh it'd be
Speaker 2: worth a fortune. But yeah, it all gets sold with
Speaker 2: the property.
Speaker 1: Was a shout out to my friend Alana that that
Speaker 1: was actually a really good question, and don't come for
Speaker 1: me because I was. I actually did not know that.
Speaker 1: I did not know that at all.
Speaker 3: Come to me.
Speaker 1: Good job, thanks Lance. I wonder though, because I've asked
Speaker 1: you this question, which is a rumor, what's the most
Speaker 1: untrue thing that you've read about yourselves this series?
Speaker 2: Or one of the first ones was Dylan doesn't do
Speaker 2: any When on the first ad, when I was on
Speaker 2: the stand up paddle board to water and that I
Speaker 2: was driving the car, people were commenting, Dylan doesn't do anything.
Speaker 2: He just sits there and let's you everything.
Speaker 4: Was sean to turn it on its head and let
Speaker 4: gendo the range e.
Speaker 2: Why does the boy always have to drive? So, yeah,
Speaker 2: Dylan does do a lot. People just people think I
Speaker 2: do everything. No, that's not true.
Speaker 3: I do have more license.
Speaker 1: Just sit there and don't say anything, you know. It's
Speaker 1: so funny. The weirdest thing I ever read about myself
Speaker 1: online was someone said that I was paying for my
Speaker 1: partner to get plastic surgery to look like me.
Speaker 2: I was like, I think.
Speaker 1: I just was like, I think we've spent spending too
Speaker 1: much time together. Maybe that's we're starting to look the same,
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I've got better things to spend my
Speaker 1: money on.
Speaker 2: Imagine someone. People are so funny.
Speaker 3: Aren't Wow?
Speaker 1: Guys? I am obsessed with both of you. I think
Speaker 1: you've done a fantastic job, as you can tell from
Speaker 1: having this chat today. Everyone that joins the podcast, I
Speaker 1: asked them this question, what is something from behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: something that we have not seen, something that we won't see,
Speaker 1: kind of like abuve behind the scene, secret of your
Speaker 1: time on the block, and don't tell me about the toilet.
Speaker 1: Two houses now have told me that they pee outside
Speaker 1: and that there was drones that have seen them peing,
Speaker 1: and they both off I've.
Speaker 2: Got what if you want to hear something funny.
Speaker 1: They could give me a ping one and then give
Speaker 1: me another one.
Speaker 2: Because the headline Jenny the okay no one time We're
Speaker 2: Honors challenge. You were rushing to get to the other
Speaker 2: challenge and there was no tilets like it's in the country,
Speaker 2: and we didn't realize as a go pro stuck to
Speaker 2: the side of the car, so I pulled over in
Speaker 2: front of the go. Didn't see the go boat dounaway
Speaker 2: on the side of the road in front of the
Speaker 2: go They would have seen everything.
Speaker 3: And obviously.
Speaker 4: The first challenge we did, he's a light coming through
Speaker 4: the room and Ruth and I get up Starkers go
Speaker 4: up the hallway because I'm not used to all the cameras.
Speaker 3: Get out the hall, I get something to the door,
Speaker 3: pop back in beds.
Speaker 4: Where did you just goes throw in the hall?
Speaker 2: It was completely new?
Speaker 4: Oh that doesn't the Block after hours?
Speaker 2: I reckon the Block after hours would be even better
Speaker 2: than the block. Imagine the laughs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think we've just sold that. We'll ring
Speaker 1: jewels after this and we'll be like up late. We're
Speaker 1: going to do the Block up late and the first
Speaker 1: episode is called Dylan uncut or cut not sure, but
Speaker 1: we'll work that out. Dylan.
Speaker 2: That would definitely sell. That would be so cool.
Speaker 1: Well, I cannot wait for the auction. I hope you
Speaker 1: guys do really well. Thank you so much for being
Speaker 1: so generous and having a laugh with me today. It's
Speaker 1: been a fantastic season and you guys should be very proud.
Speaker 2: Thanks much, Thanks so much. We'll have to come back
Speaker 2: on the podcast when we win.
Speaker 1: Hate absolutely I do that though. I'll come back and
Speaker 1: I do interview the people that make the most amount
Speaker 1: of money. So hopefully it is you, because I've had
Speaker 1: a really good time for sure.
Speaker 2: Hopefully.
Speaker 1: Thanks Thanks Ben, wish all the best.
Speaker 3: See you guys. Thanks Y,
