<v Speaker 1>to have a yarn with him. Colin will share why

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>each season is different and what to expect from this

<v Speaker 1>late season. We talk about everyone from Pete Evans to

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Manu and how Colin keeps his chemistry fresh with his

<v Speaker 1>long standing co host. I will also discuss the villain

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>edit on reality shows and find out why Colin was

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>called a villain for years. On MKR, you will get

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>basically everything from who Colin's favorite contestant is this year,

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>two answers about his future on the show. There is

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.839
<v Speaker 1>so much to talk about with so many inside revelations,

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>So guys sit back and relax as we unpack the

0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>wonderful world of MKR Australia. Hi, Colin, how are you?

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm very well.

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to another season of MKR. Yeah, Bigger and

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Better bigger and better, which is so good. Do you

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>ever think this will be my last season? Or do

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you just think that this is your life for the

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:14.839
<v Speaker 1>rest of your life?

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Every year I think that because it's TV's one of

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.680
<v Speaker 2>those worlds you're in and then you're not in. So

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 2>every year I do it. I say, how lucky am

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I to get to do this?

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 1>And then you ask for more money.

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>There's no more money out there, bro not on this

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 2>day and age.

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, when it comes to making this show, all

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.399
<v Speaker 1>of the seasons feel quite different, you know. I was

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>actually tapping back into episodes of seasons gone by, and

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>each season kind of has its own flavor.

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>It does. Some flavors were sweet, somewhat a little bit sour.

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I think we've got the perfect recipe now, especially after

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>me and mine who coming together full time last year.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 2>We've sort of worked out, you know, what works well,

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and I think we've got a groove now.

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>How would you describe the flavor then of this season

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>for Australia who hasn't had a chance to see it.

0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Yet, I would say it's what would a fun flavor be,

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Like a fruity flavor with a little bit of spice

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>and a tinge of sour, which is which is a

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 2>good mix because you don't want too much of the soeur.

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>No, you don't want it.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 2>But what I will say is from the first night

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I walked in, which is the odd where you see

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Hannah scream. That's the first moment we met the table

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and that take. Normally they take a while to warble.

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 2>This team was on. It was like a volcano. They

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 2>were all just firing and we were just we just

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 2>sat there and was like, Wow, this is going to

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>be a great season.

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Hannah's a little bit like social lubricant, you know what

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean.

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Like she's like as she's a beautiful girl, but she's

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>very loud.

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>But do you know that her best friends her grandmother,

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>And you've now worked out that the reason why her

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>best friends her grandmother is because her grandma needs hearing

0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>aids and she probably turns.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.079
<v Speaker 2>We sometimes I wish I either hear a a how goold?

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Would that be just between takes? You could just turn

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>it down, but just maybe left on the channel with

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Minu to hear what's going on with him?

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I can't understand him, so it doesn't really matter.

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.959
<v Speaker 1>You know, last year, a lot of viewers complained though,

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 1>that the show was too short, that it's too short

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>these days. I don't know if you read that, but

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>it would have to be one of the most positive

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>negative comments I've ever read about a show.

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, because that does all the shows and

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.839
<v Speaker 2>all the channels that go for six months and they're

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>only building a cupboard or something logo or a wall.

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with this season. That's

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>all I'm going to say. There is so many twists

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and turns in this in a positive way. People would

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>be happy this year. Someone will complain and about something

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 2>burn in my hair. I cut my hair. It's a bit.

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It was a bit longer then.

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I know. I always been there for your

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>hair because I always I'd love for my hair to

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to do what your hair does. But everyone

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 1>always wants what someone else's hair is doing, you know

0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, Like, you'd probably prefer to have some

0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>straight hair by now.

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I tried the straight hair. I look like a lego

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 2>man did work?

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>How long were you shooting for this year? Was it

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>a longer shoot than last year?

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>All I'm going to say is it's a longer shoot. Okay,

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>so we as they say, like a politician, we have

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>listened to the people.

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay. I like that, and people listening to this podcast

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>will be excited about that. Because people were even riding

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>into me like I'm some sort of complaint network, and

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I was like, you know what, it's a good thing.

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>They left you wanting more.

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 2>People were stopping me in the supermarket and complaining, and

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I am a small cog in a giant whale.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Tell the wheel.

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>I think it's because they're comparing it to back in

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the day when you know, Pete Evans and everyone was

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>there and it was long. Oh I know you're still

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>talking to him.

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Pete's a friend of mine. Is good people's But them

0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 2>days worth like six months on the road, and I

0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 2>think that was fourteen seasons ago, and I came on

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>like the third year, so I was in my forties

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>May and my now fifty one. The work life balance,

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 2>you've got to sort of get on top of it,

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>because we're we're on the road a lot. And all

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying is we're on the road a lot longer

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>this year than last year. You know, you missed your family,

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 2>you miss your kids, You're like I missed my daughter's

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 2>netball final, I missed a birthday party. But that's that's

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>work on the road, you know.

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they all understand that though, because there's the novelty

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:16.679
<v Speaker 1>of your celebrity dad.

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 2>They don't. That's the problem. My kids have asked me

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to give up TV, have they because I'm cringe.

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.479
<v Speaker 1>How old are your kids now? Are they at that

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>age where they're like, oh, dad, please go away.

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 2>If this goes to prince, I'm going to name them.

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 2>So it's Lily May fast and shoes thirteen and Lily

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>fastening shoes fifteen next week and they go to Saint Claire's.

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.679
<v Speaker 2>So everyone embarrassed my daughters.

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can tell you from the trajectory of

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>knowing people that have celebrity parents, there is this teenage

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>era where they think it's really cringe. But then later

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>on they do come back, and that's when you've got

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.919
<v Speaker 1>to cut them off because then they might become a

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit too obsessed with you.

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what I did. I made them lie

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 2>on the floor the to day. Why I said, look

0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 2>at the roof the low worse because that's what's paying

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>for it, so it'll be quiet.

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to go to a good school? Come on? Yeah.

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I always think of home cooking to be very personal,

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and I actually think having people into your home can

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>also be quite revealing when it comes to finding out

0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>people's real personalities, and I think that's where MKR really shines.

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you think this show showcases the contestants in a

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>way that's different to say, other cooking shows.

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there is any other cooking shows. When

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm watch them, there's onus. And but I mean, like,

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 2>look at last year we had Rada and Fraba who

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 2>actually took out the show, and they tell us deep

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>and personal stories and I end up crying on national television.

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's not my That's not my style. Sometimes food

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.080
<v Speaker 2>is a great conveyor of I actually I can't remember

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 2>who it was. Well, they did a rose lamb dish

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 2>and I hate the crackling from the lamb, and it

0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:00.159
<v Speaker 2>immediately transported me back to age twelve. In my I

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.240
<v Speaker 2>was my dad cooking on a Sunday morning because he

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 2>always did roslam. So food has always got those stories,

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 2>and just when you think you know everything, another story

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 2>pops up, or another method of cookery or that's that's

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 2>the beauty of food.

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I always wonder about the fact that you know, you

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>mentioned last year's winners. You know, we've had so many

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>seasons of MKR. Do you kind of feel in some

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>way that you pick up new children because we're talking

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>about your own real children. But you know, by doing

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>this season, i'd imagine you, knowing you as well as

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I do, that you would still keep the phone open

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and still keep talking to these one.

0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Hundred percent Like I've caught up with Dan and Steph

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and then they actually had their they from their winnings,

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>they actually got IVS and had their baby. And there's

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of contestants still talk to there's so much

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 2>of your block. Well, there's a lot you still talk to.

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>You're like a school teacher.

0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my mum's a school teacher and she would

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>never talk to the kids ever again. She would always

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's true she loved the naughty kids. My mom

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>would always say, I love I loved the naughty kids,

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and she would be so in died and then they

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.119
<v Speaker 1>would come up to her years later and she would

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh no, I can't talk.

0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, your more more to love me.

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah she did. I was the naughty kid. So I

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>think it was you know, her having to look after

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.360
<v Speaker 1>the naughty kids's payback for what I was doing to

0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the other teachers in the neighboring classrooms. What is your actually,

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that's a good question. What is the best advice you

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.559
<v Speaker 1>can offer for people who are coming into this show,

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>because I know when people are applying, they always want

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>some tips on what's probably going to get them across

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the line.

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I think like, be you, because a lot of people

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 2>get in there and then think they have to put

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.839
<v Speaker 2>on a shell or airs and racism, try and be

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 2>someone else or impress. And I think most of the

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>people who've downed and worn have stayed true to themselves.

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 2>There's always a couple of shell ponies who exit pretty quick.

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>And it is a cooking show, and so I put

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 2>love into your cooking. That's what it's about. That's what

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.800
<v Speaker 2>gets you over the line. You can talk it over

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 2>good game all you want, but if you don't produce

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 2>food with love that tastes good.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, you know this show has gone away. I feel

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you still have your polarizing personalities, but I

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.719
<v Speaker 1>do feel like you've sort of drifted away from villainous contestants.

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 1>And I'm curious about what you think of the media

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>calling people villains on reality shows, because you've probably had

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>a few polarizing people. But do you think that's stereotype

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and calling someone a villain?

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Mate? I was called a villain of MKR for the

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 2>first four years. I did it because I was opinionated,

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and I think when the media jumps in and calls

0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.679
<v Speaker 2>people villains, they were probably the people I got on

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 2>with the most because they were like myself, They had

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>an opinion, and they were in beige and I'm not

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>really into beije people. So yeah, as you say to

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte moved away. Myself and Manu had a big impact

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 2>in Inda as in saying we don't want to be

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>part of this because it got to a stage years

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 2>ago where my wife would let me kids watch a

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 2>show that I worked six months on and I'm like, well,

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 2>what who am I doing this for? What's the point.

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 2>So we made a conscious decision, as did the network,

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 2>and after COVID, people don't want this, you know, horribleness,

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 2>and they want niceness, and that's what food is about,

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 2>is niceness. Obviously there will be conflict over at dinner

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 2>table make Christmas dinner at your house. Dot's conflict over

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 2>at dinner table, but then you resolve it, you move.

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>On, and you then move on to the pudding, you

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? Like, I think you want to

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>end with something as much sweeter. I think that the

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>evolution of this show is very interesting because there were

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>some very high rating seasons when the show was about

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>polarizing characters in a bit of drama, and it kind

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 1>of has moved in a different direction to that. And

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>if you speak to the true MKR fans, they are

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>loving this evolution. They're kind of liking where it has gone.

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>And maybe you're right, maybe I think it.

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you know what it is? It's because me and

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 2>my new one L fifty one, same age, we've both

0:10:55.880 --> 0:11:00.080
<v Speaker 2>got like teenagers as kids, and it's how do you

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.840
<v Speaker 2>want to be reflected and what you want them to see?

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? It's like what's going into

0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 2>their head is as good as what's going into your body,

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:08.839
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean?

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, I agree. I'm in the chemistry as well.

0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Just talking about you two being in your fifties, I

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>think that the chemistry is almost better every year that

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 1>we see you guys together. I'm curious about how you

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 1>invest in making sure that still happens, because, like you know,

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>with any work colleague, you can sort of fall out

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>with them, and when your vision you really can't because

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you need it to still be good. What do you

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 1>do to try and massage? The menu massaging? And I'm

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>just trying to get that out of my head, but

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I actually my massage. Now do you say, yesterday we

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.680
<v Speaker 1>went to this place in New Zealand because we're in

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>New Zealand together at the minute, and I actually had

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to put some play on them.

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 2>We had a clay Bart massage. I think it's like

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.199
<v Speaker 2>any we say, well, like a married coup or whatever

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>the benefits put it that way. We're on the road

0:11:56.480 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 2>eight months together and there's always times it's touchy and

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you know when to say something and when not to

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.439
<v Speaker 2>say something. We live beside each other, we have Christmas

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 2>together and get on which is a problem because you know,

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 2>you know when they get it, when they get on

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the sauce, we just get nails. Well, of course, so

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 2>we are, we're friends and we work together and then

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 2>but also when we get onto the MK, it's a job.

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Like people say, oh, you're so looking like there's so

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.559
<v Speaker 2>much trouble goes in the crew? Are there a lot

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 2>before us and a lot later than us? So like

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>we've got the easy bit. So when you get in there,

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 2>you do the job, be a professional. And if you

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 2>can't do that, don't do the show.

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, go and do something else? What about just before

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>you go? I need to ask you, can you I

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>know people don't like playing favorites, they really don't, but

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I really need you too, because I want you to

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:51.240
<v Speaker 1>tease what's happening this year? Do you have a favorite contestant?

0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you can't say that, can you tell me.

0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Who you do? I do and I will tell you.

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 2>So we've got Mike and Pete. Right, Mike looks like

0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 2>pee wee harmon, remember that guy from years ago? Very much.

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Mike has got Mel filter. And there was days I

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 2>would I would wake up in the morning and go,

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm tired, like do I really want to go to work?

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.680
<v Speaker 2>And then I got Mike's going to be there. So Mike,

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Mike and Mel filter. And at the start, I'm going,

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 2>this little guy's gonna wind me up. And by the

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 2>end I was like, Mike, come in and give me

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 2>a home.

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the best I actually been. I'm up to episode five. Yeah,

0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm obsessed. I mean, I did love Hannah when she

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>was on Big Brother, so I kind of know her

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>from that and seeing her come onto this show, so

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I feel like she's in the Big Brother family,

0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>so I have to be saying that. She's also pretty good.

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>So I didn't know she was on that show, which

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 2>is probably good.

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Talk about that because I think it's great because we

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>don't really remember her being on that show and we

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>get fresh take.

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 2>On her being in this Yeah, Hannah's a great girl.

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Because I got daughters and all that, you sort of

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 2>want to look after them, but she was a good girl.

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Before you go. The last thing I ask everyone joins

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the Pods the last question, what is something from behind

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the scenes of this year this season, something like a

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes secret or crazy anecdote.

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.680
<v Speaker 2>What have you got for me behind the scenes? Well, me,

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 2>me and money. You have to spend a lot of

0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>time in a trailer together at the bank on time.

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Wouldn't taught it. And he you know those campra vans

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 2>where you got the bit where you sleep on the top, Yeah,

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 2>he would sleep in there. In between takes a.
