podcast Like midway through they were listening to the podcasts
with their kids on the way.

So cute their children.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I know what. I'm like, I need to stop swearing.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Oh my gosh, I need to be more PG.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Have you been receiving?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Like yeah, definitely. It's so funny.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Like the other day I walked into the house and
Lockie was listening to us on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I'm like a doll, I haven't.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Even listened, and he's like fall into it, like listening
to the full part. Heave doesn't miss an episode really yeah,
so cute, and then all my friends will watch it,
Like my friend tre she sent me a selfie the
other day of her on the treadmill and she was
listening to it.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But yeah, I think it's been really good people.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I'm enjoying it too. I feel like it's so fun,
Like definitely, but I don't listen to your back. I
don't listen to your back, but I never listened to
myself back. I feel weird when to listen to myself
bak is that how I sold?
Speaker 1 (02:17):
See? I find that so weird that you don't like.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh. My friend brought up the Big Brother episodes the
other night on YouTube and I was so excited.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I'm like, how did you fight? All episodes? And we
were just watching it and I'm like, this.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Is the best you can watch yourself back?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Absolutely, and I'm like, okay, can we fast forward to
me now?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I like why I like the shorts on this, like
you know, like the tiktoks and stuff that we pause
like they're good because I can like have a glimpse
of like what it's like. Yeah, sound like, but like
not listen to the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, I feel like it's really exciting to get the
clips each week and be like, what did we talk about?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
But you're just looking to me, she look pretty.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I'm like that one hair out of place. No, it's
the vein for me.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I see your vein come out and I'm like, I
know he's gonna be triggered.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I mean, is so egged.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't even know what that is. I know, because
like when I talk and I like, I don't know,
it's like a kettle, Like I'm like, boils up, boils
up and pops out. But yeah, I don't know what
that is. But my friend Tori, a lot of my
girlfriends have it. But I think there were all like
mid thirties or just thirty.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So I'm like, maybe it's the botox bulltos.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Maybe I think it's maybe that was it called the
veins or something. Maybe it's one of those because I
think you get them when you're a bit older.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
No, I feel like this has always been here. It
can't just appear a massive fucking vein through.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
My my forehead forehead, No denial.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You're thinking about the little ones that you get on
your legs.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
The older people tend to get.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Maybe you get them on your forehead, maybe it doesn't
get worse of the time. I should get you should
get checked out.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But I can't.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I asked my injector. I'm like, what are we doing
about her? Like what's happening? And she's like, there's nothing
you can do about it.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Part of you can't get veins removed.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Or I'm not getting my head cut open to get
a vein removed. That goes right down the middle.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You get your head cut off, your eye lift score
some shit.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, and then oh, the latest thing I had done
was get my pingueculars cut out of my eyes and
that was actually that was good, but it still has downtime.
I just hate the downtime. But now it's all good.
We're back to normal, which is good.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But I haven't been to the gym properly in like
six weeks.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
What should they say, You can't go to the gym
because of the pressure.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yes, the pressure. Yeah, so you know, my veins popping
when I talk.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Imagine the eyeballs me mid squat, they'd probably explode. But yeah, no,
I just feel a little bit out of routine and
bit gross.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Got to get back into it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But yeah, that's the latest with me, but I want
to hear how your time was.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
What's the goss.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Any juicy behind of scenes details you can share.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, I mean it was like a totally new experience.
Like I thought I was going in there like Love Island,
like I've done it before, should be fine. But it
was like completely different to why i'd like anticipated.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Because you're hosting now.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, so it's like a whole different world.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You're not risen up.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I'm not risen up any birds. I'm not even risen
up the horsts you probably were. Now it was completely different,
and it was like definitely like I was definitely out
of my comfort zone, which I feel like was good. Yeah.
I was like obviously a lot more nervous because it's
not like improv I just get to say what I
want to say.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, you got lines, You've got lines.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, and it's like a whole new ball.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Game, Like, oh well, no, I think it will help
with your career you're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So it's good to like step out your comfort zone
and like do new things. And like now I've done
it and I've got better at over the course of
the time I was there, I've got confidence now that
I can like do it in other like TV shows
and so forth. You know, it's so weird, s guy,
because like you instead of like just saying what you want,
like we normally do, yeah, pretty much like this, yes,
but like we'd have like your pieces in and they
(06:04):
would like feed you a line, So you've got to
repeat it, and then.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
You've got to say it in your own words.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, you gotta Yeah, you've got to pretty much say
it in your own words, but like it's a beat behind,
but they're still feeding you lines as you're talking.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Oh my god, that's so confusing.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And plus you've got to like react to like what
you're saying too. It's not like you can just sit
there and like repeat what they're saying in your ear.
Like you've got to like action it as well. So
it was pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So were they like telling you what the contestants were
doing or something, and then you'd have.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
To be like so Mike a Namy or whatever. I
didn't watch the season.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The only thing I saw was that thing that went
absolutely viral on TikTok. Mom Sita and that guy's like
you're a mum of what a dog? And she's like, no,
I have a baby.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, it went crazy, but no, we would have to
like so during the week, I would just watch all
the episodes, but not just like watch them and do stuff.
Like I'd have to sit there and like it's almost
like homework. Yeah right, I can have my viewpoints, my
perspectives and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And you can talk about the main event.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, that's right. So I would do that all week,
and then on Friday we would film and that's when
we got to like basically go through the whole different
like week of activities and stuff that they've done and
like dissect it and like show our opinions and stuff.
But whilst doing that, we still have to like have
lines that we got to say as well. So it
was hard. It was really hard. But by the end
of it, I was like so much more confidence doing it.
(07:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
That's giving UNI projects, Yes.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
UN project. Yeah, it was. But some of the times
we'll be filming, like even though it's just like one episode,
we could spend like we would start filming out say
I don't know, like one o'clock, one pm, and sometimes
we'd finish like three am. No episode. Yeah, so you
can imagine how much goes into it. You know, because wow,
the fuck ups and stuff with the lines and so forth.
(07:47):
Not just on my end, but like everyone, you.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Know, right, so is it that season done? Now?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, that season's done. Now, the winner's been announced and
so forth.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Who want it?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Maya and Brian so to be they were actually my favorites.
I was like shipping them from the starts. I'm so
glad they won purely because am I the girl who
like was I was like my favorite. She was like
not find in love with anyone, but she was so funny,
like she was reality TV goal.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh my gosh, I really need to watch it.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Clips alone, but like just got me in stitches. I
was like, I want her to win and I don't
care who she's with.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah whatever, she's my face.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah. And the guys she won with like came in
at the end and like it was the perfect.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Ending, you know, oh yeah cute. So any juicy goss
for us?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Juicy goss? I mean, there's not too much juicy goss
on my end. But one thing I did like realize,
I'm like I know this from reality TV days, right,
Like we obviously watched the shows and we have our
opinions on people, and like how they're perceived, right.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So like there was like three or four people that
I was like, oh my god, they're my favorite, like
the best. And as soon as they got voted out
and I spoke to the producers and like everyone that
works in the show, they were like, thank god they
have left. They are worse people, so rude, so disrespectful.
So and I'm like, oh my god, I would never
have thought that. Like, yes, reminds me that like what
you see is just like.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Not everything, not everything. Yeah, yeah, that's so true.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You've got to be so careful like when you're watching
TV and having your opinions on people, because it's not
always as.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It seems as if you're going to be rude to
like producers or people you're working with anyway.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, I know. I think it's just like your moral compass.
No matter what job you do, you got to be.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Like respect absolutely favorite.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
She's my favorite. Get kicked. I was like, thank god
they've gone. They're so rude till respectrum. Like I feel
bad thing. I'm like I was shipping them.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
All right, So what was the villa like that you
were staying in. Was it like fancy or yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
So all us horse had ore like a nice like
villa that we were staying in, like on the beach.
It was beautiful and like stunny. We only worked one
day a week, so the whole other time we were
just like relaxing up at the pools going to the islands,
like it was like a proper holiday.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
But the actual villain itself for Love Island is absolutely massive.
Like really, the show is getting so big in America
that they're just pouring more and more money into it
and it's just getting like it's literally like a result
now it's not even like an island like it normally is,
like it's a resort. Like the island had like saunas
in there. They had like foot or booths like you
could photo. It was wild. Yeah, when I walked in there,
(10:10):
because I knew that it was going to be bigger
and like better because they've got more money now because
the show is doing so well.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh the TV in America in the UK so much.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Just to put it into perspective, I think that the
villa in the US was over ten times the size
of the villa in Australia that they used in Spain.
Oh my god, how big it was like.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
And how many contestants.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It will probably be like thirty contestants all.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Are, oh thirty, that's a lot more than what they
do in Australia.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
It's like a constant like revolve indoor of just like
new people. And then they have this like cast cast
away is right.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, the one that they go away to.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, they got a way to and then they bring
people back if they want to. I think the casta
are more for the USA, which is like obviously the
smaller villa is bigger than the Australian villa in Spain.
Oh my god, the cons hear me haws his pros
and cons. Because when I did like the toll when
I first got there, I was like, yeah, it's amazing.
It's massive, Like if I was to go on Love Island,
(11:06):
like I would want to be in that villa. But
then a part of me is like I like it
when it's a bit smaller because you can get.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
More drama and more intimate.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, like you could easily like take a girl over
Rizra secretly in that villa. No no, no, he's so big,
right yeah, but then it's like less drama then because
like people can't see you or.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Like hear you yeah, but was their drama.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
There was always drama. There was so much drama. Like
I had to do like a roof plays of the week,
So part of my role was like to review all
of the episodes and like pick which I think was
like the best part of it, and I couldn't because
they were all so good, like so juicy, yes, so juicy.
And the drama mainly comes from the games, which you
know Matti from The Jungle, the producer from The Jungle, Yes,
(11:45):
that there's the challenges he does the challenges on this show,
and the challenges that he put together this year were
crazy because even if it was more drama in the villa,
the challenges would like make drama. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And then the girls are like why are you kissing her?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And they're like it's small the game, Yeah, it's just challenge.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah. And it's so funny because like you know, there
could be a couple of girls and are just like, oh,
I just kissed him because it's like just a challenge
and make the boys are kicking off yeah. But then
like you know, a couple of days go by, there's
another challenge and the boys do it. Yeah, and it's
like you can't kiss her. He's just like it's just
a challenge.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But they take it so serious. They're like, no, we has.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
To, yeah, we must. But I mean, like, I'm a
big believer in like if you're doing a challenge, you've
got to remember that you are doing a TV show.
You make it fun. And like, there were a couple
of people not just say any names. There were a
couple of people that were more reserving the challenges, And
I'm like, you've known this guy or this girl for
like one week, Like why have you got commitments and
you can't kiss other people in the game.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, but I feel like most of the people get
involved and actually do Yeah, most of them do.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, but they do that.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Because they want, you know, whoever the they're dating to
kick off and be like why did you kiss her?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Like that's the whole point of it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And it does like even though you've only been with
seventy four one week with Love Island, like you do
gain so much feelings in like one week.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, because you're living together together, I feel like everything's
so much more heightened too.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Oh my god, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I don't know what, Like you cannot decipher between reality
or like you in the house.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, it just feels so real.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You don't even think about the outside world when you're
in there. You're in this bubble. And I always said
that one day is the equivalent to one week in
the real time. So like one people, why is she
being so dramatic Like they've only know each other for
like a week, and I'm like a week in the
villa is crazy because you got to remember when we
meet people. I know, you haven't deated for a while,
but when you date people, you know, you might spend
(13:33):
like two hours them that week. Then the next week
you might go for another dinner and spend like another
two hours. Maybe third week you might see them twice
that week.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But you're having like time.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
In the course of like you know, a month, you
might have spent the talk love, Like I don't know,
twenty hours with that person right in the villa. That's
one day.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, Like it naturally just moves really quick, so quick anyway,
because you're so you're in each other'son you.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Literally like yeah, you're literally sleep in the same bed
as that person. You're pretty much into much straightaway, Like
it's what on this year's Love Island, Everyone was banging too,
which was crazy. Usually there's like one or two, but
this year, like they were all active, and I was like, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
My gosh, that's so funny. But like, yeah, go for
a year whatever. Yeah, how Sally? I love her?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Oh yeah, Sally's so good. She's like literally like my
right hand man when it comes to.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Like, yeah, you guys seem really cool.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I met her on Love Island Games like two years ago,
and then last year I did some after Sun episodes
with it as well, like the hosting stuff, but I
only came for like two and obviously this year I've
done the same sort of role as her, so we
were together like pretty much the whole time. And like
she is like one of the nicest, Like I love
Sally Tibits, Like she's like a role model to me.
Like she made me stop drinking alcohol, Like I've put
(14:43):
alcohol and it was all she did like years sober
now and I'm like, she's been a year so much
she stopped drinking alcohol like this time last year and
when she was in Fiji this year, she's passed her
one year anniversary, had not a single drop of alcohol.
Like all these things that she's doing with her life.
I'm just like this is so inspiring, Like she's such
a good girl.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
That's so inspiring, but also mom lives.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
So I quit alcohol when I was over there. I
stopped drinking cause I was like, I'm literally on holiday
for like six days of the week, and like all
I want to do is drink magarite is the pool? Right?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So I was like, if I don't go like fully
teettal and end up just drinking every day, like of
course you would no responsibilities, Like of course you would, right,
I mean a.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Couple is fine, but maybe not every day. Yeah, me neither.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Lockie brought a red wine bottle home the other day
and I'm like, where's the other bottle?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
What are you doing? Here? Goes babe, just know your limits.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I'm like, I don't have a limit.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I'm like dollar'side one glassy, I'm like filling it to
the top and.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I feel like, Yeah, I was like, I'm gonna just
try it because I've never done sobriety. Is it so
brighty today? Call it? I think it's so briety where
you just don't drink or.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Was that not having sex or celibacy? Is sex before marriage.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Nor celibacy is just nor sex. Oh and so sobriety
is nor drinking?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Right much better do you feel?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Oh? My god? Yes, guy, I cannot tell you. Even
in the first like two weeks i'm not drinking, I
was like, I'm more alert, I'm more focused, I'm getting
more productive, I'm getting more stuff done, i feel more awake,
I'm more energetic. I'm like, I didn't realize that the
effect of alcohol was having on me until I completely stopped.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Dude, I have like our full calm down, Like if
I am hungover, that wrecks me for a week.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, and then you just drink again over the next
couple of days and you never like get to that
like peak performance with anything in life.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
No, definitely not.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But I'm not going to do like I'm not going
to try and never drink again. I'm going to definitely
open to drinking again. But it's just now that I've
been able to go like two and a half months
without any alcohol, now my mentality has changed, Like I
know I can go out have fun and not drink.
I'm like, I'll only drink now if there's like events
or occasions. I have to ask Skye, because you've got
(16:54):
so much going on in your life, like your outdates,
your brands, you reno, what's happening there?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Mate, It's been a fucking disaster, to be honest, Like
I feel like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.
I don't know if I spoke about this on my profile,
but basically the kitchen island bench had gotten installed, but
it was one hundred mil higher than the back of
the bench, so it was like really high on me,
(17:23):
and I'm like, oh my god, this is like really
high for a kitchen bench. So we had to dismantle
it all, take you back to the factory, like cut
it down, and then there's just been like problem after problem,
like cause Lockie and I obviously busy. It doesn't have
a project manager. This this house is like a five
million dollar project, so like you can imagine how chaotic
(17:46):
it would be not having someone be like, right, do this,
do that?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Checking over everything. So it's been really hard.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But they were just looking at me going it was
on the plans, like because they obviously read the plans
that the design has done and just go off that.
Because Lockie and I aren't in there, they can't ask
us like, hey, where do you want this.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, Like if you were in there, well two were
making that bench, you'd have been like, bru, that's way
too high.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
It was too lady been built exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I would have been like, oh no, no, no, no,
that's not the right high.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I mean, like, it sounds like something so small, but
if you're spending so much money, you want it to
be perfect. I know, and I am that would wreck
my brain.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I know I am a bit of a perfectionist when
it comes to stuff like that. But anyway, the bathroom
I walked in there's this big, square, ugly whatever the
fuck it was. I didn't even know at the time.
I'm like, I go, what is that? He goes, that's
your exhaust fan.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And I'm like, why is it?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Because you know when you shower and the steam there's steam,
the steam has to go through.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
An exhaust fan.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
And they're like, you have to have it there, and
I'm like, but surely it doesn't have to be right
smack bang in the middle of the wall. I'm like,
surely it can go somewhere else, like what I mean?
And I'm like, where did you get that from? Like
did we choose that? What the fuck's happening, and he's like,
that's just what I brought. I'm like, oh my god,
so you don't didn't even get one from us. He's
(19:06):
just bringing bringing his own exhaustment, smacking it on the wall,
and I'm like, on.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
The wall, on the ceilings, on the wall, what is
it on the wall, I don't know, on the seat
and I know, I'm like, oh my god, it is.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
And then you've got to pay the trades to redo
what they've done.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So it's just like.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
And I can imagine it's so frustrating for them too,
because like they've put in the work, they've done what
they're supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, they've read the plan.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Doesn't sit right with you to undo their own work
and then redo it in a different way.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I know.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So I'm like, I'm so sorry, Like me, I know,
but I'm like, fuck, it's not good. So yeah, we've
just had to navigate through that. But I think with
rolls and stuff lock he's done all the ordering of
like all the windows, the doors, everything like that. I
feel like I'm just going to swoop in and be
more involved when like it's and I can choose furniture,
(20:01):
I can make it pretty like I'm a girl.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I don't I'm not a tradesman.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I don't know where to put an exhaust fan or
I don't even know you could get different exhaust fans
until I saw the square one and then I googled
it and I'm like, right, so there is more ascetic
looking exhaust fans that we could have used.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I mean, I can't. I don't know I would even
know what an exhaust fun is.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
That's what I mean. Like it's been a massive lock.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
He's like very aware of all this stuff. Like that
is like he's almost like his trade, right. He knows
more about this stuff than like the general guy.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Definitely, but there's such a huge difference, like this is
a residential project whereas he works on retail, so that
they are like completely different. But yeah, I've learnt a lot.
There's just little hiccups, but we're getting it fixed. We've
had to take out a second loan. So the first
loan was eight hundred thousand, the second loan was four
(20:52):
hundred thousand, and we're still not even going to be
completely finished. Like it's just a money it's a money
taking you.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Honestly, I think there's somewhere in this world that there's
football stadiums that get built quicker than your house.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I know.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Literally, it's just never ending.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's never ending.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I'm not a treaty, but maybe actually get some work will.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
To give a help in hand, seriously, and then what
would my role be cleaning because I'm cleaning nobody.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Apparently there's like trades that they actually hire to clean
up because you'll go in there once a trade he's
done that thing and I'm like, what's this mess?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And Lookie's like, babe, that's an actual job.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Like the trades don't get paid to go in and
clean up after themselves. They're going and do a job
and that's all they're required to do. So you actually
have to have someone on to clean up.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And I'm like, well, far.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Reow, I'm going to become a cleaner.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah you can.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
We got job the trades cleaner or something. But yeah,
there's just endless things to do and just yeah, lots
of hiccups.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
It's yeah, like have you been arguing? Like I can
imagine there'd be arguments.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Involved, definitely, and like he is so annoying, God bless
him though, He's just trying to get it finished. But
like every day because I'm on like the furniture end
of stuff. So I've ordered like some lights from this brand,
and every single day he asked me.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Where are the lights. We'll see update on the lights.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm like, bro, I haven't even fucking replied to my sister,
my best friend.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I haven't checked if the dogs have got water.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I'm not fucking talking to the lights people right now.
And he asked me like every hour and then get this.
He he harassed, harrassed, harassed for the furniture to be delivered,
and he'd been talking to my manager because she reached
out to this furniture brand whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
And then he's like, yep, this is a date that
the house is going to.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Be finished, ready to set up the furniture anyway it
gets delivered. I'm like, dude, there's room, yeah, there's no
fuming roots, Like, what do you want to do with
this furniture like just sitting there in boxes. There's dust
and shit everywhere, dog poohs all through the house. I'm like,
where are we going to move the boxes of furniture
now when this needs to be like completely cleaned. I'm like,
(23:08):
I'm not getting that fucking furniture out.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Of the bar.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
No, that's right, I can, and I would agree, Like
if you if you want to get your new things
out when it's editing's.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Clean, and it's crash, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Like exciting to put it together too, right, it's like
you're decorating there. You want to be decorated when there's
like holding the roof because.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It's seriously like dust everywhere. Oh my god, it's just
just it's so stressful.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
But I feel like when you get it done eventually,
like it'll be so like rewarded. You have so much
more free time as well.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Then right, we'll probably have to sell. We'll be like,
we'll have no money left. It's so expensive.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
You have so much profit in that anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, you can do it again.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
No, I don't think I would do a project that
size again or of that caliber, because especially with the kids,
the dogs, I'm like, and we're both running our own businesses.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I'm like, this is it's just so hectic.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
But I do think that if we were ever to
renovate again, I would definitely take time off work and
just focus on project managing or like at least overseeing
the trades because they just get to go in there,
no one's in there. I'm usually in the garage frolicking,
editing videos and stuff there.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
The dogs like because when I rock up to the house,
the dogs go crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
They kick off, and I'm like, oh my god, and like,
we've got people in our driveway constantly.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I can barely use my driveway.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
There's like wood planks laying around, There's rocks that we
were supposed to put in the garden somewhere. I'm like,
this is so hectic. It's inside of my brain. That's
literally what it looks like. So, yeah, that's the update there.
But we are very close.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Okay, get it done like the next couple of months
or probably not.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I'm going to say hopefully by the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
The end of the year. Yeah, I know, literally like
a month ago. You're like, I'll be done like next month.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
And then he's like, Babe, let's book Japan. I'm like, Babe,
let's fucking move into our house.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know, like, you're gonna need a holiday after this stot,
maybe take one more law not just like yeah, like
a honeymoon.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The bank will be like you can fuck right off
the all You've got to know we've lent you that
much money.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What do you mean, what are you chatting about? Howls? No,
I just need a holiday. Nah. But it's good, it's
it'll get done. I have hope.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
What would you say is the most expensive item so far?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I am so not private with money, like I'm happy
to tell people what shit costs. The oven was I
think fourteen thousand dollars just the oven.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Was that the most expensive per chase for.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Like one thing alone? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:45):
But I think all the stone, the windows, the doors,
they were the most expensive and we're probably spent like
or also the stairs, just the metal steel stairs that
we have that was about forty thousand just for stairs,
like just the railing.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It would be cheaper to organize a lift in that. Yeah,
cheaper than forty year.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Und I know.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's just crazy, but because you're paying for like high
quality items, it works out to be so expensive. So yeah,
the stairs were the most expensive. The oven, the appliances.
I don't think the fridges were too bad actually, but yeah,
this crazy. The stone, the doors, they were the most
expensive thing, and I think it was probably around like.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Two hundred thousand.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
For all the windles and stones.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And like the stone, like it's stone stone so expensive.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, that is mental But so what are you get
that back when you sell it? Right if you were
to sell in future, Like, do you think you'd get
your money back from that? Hope?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
So otherwise I'll be yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Because people do look for that when they're buying like
a higher value property. They do look for those, like
applying stuff like it's a big and the stairs do
look good, like it's a big part that.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, And I think that people in the industry would
know that, Oh that's a really expensive item. Yeah, or
that's expensive what do they call it, like run it? No,
that's an expensive material material?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yes, granite?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Why I don't know, but anyway, yeah, that's an expensive material.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
So do you have any regrets You regret any of
the purchases, or have any regrets in general?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I think I just regret not being more involved and
not making sure I'm like checking up on what's happening
every day. But I feel awkward, like I don't want
to walk into the house as a female and like
boss the trades around kind of thing. But now I'm
just ruthless as fuck. I'm like, nah, I don't like that. Sorry,
(27:47):
you're gonna have to get rid of that. And I
remember one day because they were like cigarette butts everywhere,
and Lockie and I were doing work around the pool,
like getting the pool cleaned up, and I just kept
finding them when I was getting so funnustraighted and I
walked up to them and I got a bucket. I said, hey, guys,
all rubbish is to go in this bucket, please, including
cigarette butts. And they must have just been like, you
(28:12):
don't give me attitude, but yeah, I'm just like, oh,
it's just crazy industry.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Butter.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Be more present, Yeah, be more present. They would probably
honestly prefer to be bossed and I'm a little bit
more and have your presence there than be told they've
got to rip something off because it's not done right
and then redo it. So true, and it saves you
more time as well.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Very true. That's so true.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So yeah, be more present, get more amongst it, even
though I might not have any clue what's going on.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Maybe just try to understand.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You'd be like put that window there and they're like,
it's a fucking.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Door, and also yeah, they're like oh what Probably yeah,
Also be or more across the plans, because like everyone
can make mistakes in the industry, and the plans may
not always be right.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
So those are my two regrets.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Maybe just like looking over and understanding the plans and
being more present.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well, it's not too late to turn it around because
you got about six months or maybe even ten years
left of this, right or so let's start today.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Do Yeah? Actually I quit. There's been times I said
it to Lucky yesterday. I'm like, put it on the market.
He's like, not until it's finished.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Like no, now, I'm like it was sold when no
one was living in it will be okay.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
But yeah, it's a lot, but we'll get there. We'll
get there. There's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It always is.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Everyone's going to be very excited to finally see it finished.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I feel like you said a girl as about like
like instant gratification, right, explain, Like instant gratification is like
when you want you when you do something you want
to done, like no, like or if you do a job,
you want to be paid now. If you yes, if
you're going to go shopping, you want to get it now. Yeah,
you want to wait for shit?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I don't want to wait.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah, Like that's how I am as well, like I
wanted like yesterday. Yeah, yeah, that would wreck my brain,
not without Like I'm just I'm not seeing the light
of the the tunnel, I know.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And that's why I think I lost interest at the start,
because there was just so much to be done and
every day going.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I'm like, so what did everyone do today?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Because it looks the same and look, He's like, babe,
there's a lot more that goes into it than just
like visual visual stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So I would say it's like almost like claiming a mountain.
Renovations like claiming a mountain.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I think climbing a mountain would be easier.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, neverest big that is Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
No, wait, people have died doing that.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Yeah, and only people have died doing renovations.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh it's maybe they're pretty dangerous. I remember when I
was jack hammering the tiles. I was jack hammering, I
was and this tile flew down and slipped my leg open.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I was like, oh my god, I need to wear
long pants.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Yeah. People they got p p PPQ. What PPQ?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
What is that pe?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Protective Personal protective equipment? You need that pepere's.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It's hard heart, yeah, hard hat, hard boots.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, it is pretty dangerous, but I'm
not sure.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
But I feel like when I say climbing a mountain,
I mean like at the bottom, you're like, oh my god,
like where do we even start, Like there's so much
to do. I'm not seeing any progress. But like as
you get like higher and higher up, you start to
see like the ending more clear, gives you more motivation
to like keep going.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Right, Yeah, I mean I guess we're at that point now,
like and I can actually go in there and be like, oh,
it actually looks like a house now. Before it was
just like an empty shell, like just yeah, nothing, a
whole lot of nothing, just dust and dirt.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So we are getting there.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Has any of the rooms been like fully complete where
you're like, Okay, this is how my bathroom is going
to look.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
No, none of the rooms are complete except for the
ones upstairs.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh this is another funny thing that happened.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
So we'd already finished renovating the upstairs area before starting
the downstairs, and downstairs we had knocked down every single
wall so that it was fully open.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
So upstairs started to crack and.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Move because naturally the whole house is moving, and all
the cornices had come off.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Why helps move in Because.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
When you knock down walls and doors and stuff, the
house moves because the that's the structure of the house.
And we got rid of like sixty seventy percent of
the structure of the house, so it moved upstairs and
all of our corners cracked, so we had to get
it Redone the other morning, I walked upstairs to get
something from the upstairs bathroom. This fucking massive piece of
(32:28):
corners is just fucking on the floor, falling down.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I'm like, are you fucking giving me?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Oh my god, like almost like an earth quicks happens, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
But I don't.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
And then I called locking and I'm like, something's happened.
He's like, oh, for fox sake, what now? Like I can't,
I can't, I'm like. And then I called him and
told him and he's like, is it bad. I'm like,
he's like, for fox sake, I don't have any more
cornice now, and I'm like, it's not that bad, it's fine.
He's like, you know what, I looked at that yesterday
and night yesterday and I noticed that it was loose,
and I'm like, why didn't you fucking fix it?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Then?
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Mate, why somebody's got to have them?
Speaker 2 (33:02):

something at every turn, but yeah, it's gone well. Alrighty guys,

of like what it's like. Yeah, sound like, but like
not listen to the whole thing.

But you're just looking to me, she look pretty.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I'm like that one hair out of place. No, it's
the vein for me.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I see your vein come out and I'm like, I
know he's gonna be triggered.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I mean, is so egged.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I don't even know what that is. I know, because
like when I talk and I like, I don't know,
it's like a kettle, Like I'm like, boils up, boils
up and pops out. But yeah, I don't know what
that is. But my friend Tori, a lot of my
girlfriends have it. But I think there were all like
mid thirties or just thirty.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So I'm like, maybe it's the botox bulltos.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Maybe I think it's maybe that was it called the
veins or something. Maybe it's one of those because I
think you get them when you're a bit older.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
No, I feel like this has always been here. It
can't just appear a massive fucking vein through.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
My my forehead forehead, No denial.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You're thinking about the little ones that you get on
your legs.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
The older people tend to get.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Maybe you get them on your forehead, maybe it doesn't
get worse of the time. I should get you should
get checked out.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But I can't.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I asked my injector. I'm like, what are we doing
about her? Like what's happening? And she's like, there's nothing
you can do about it.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Part of you can't get veins removed.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Or I'm not getting my head cut open to get
a vein removed. That goes right down the middle.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You get your head cut off, your eye lift score
some shit.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, and then oh, the latest thing I had done
was get my pingueculars cut out of my eyes and
that was actually that was good, but it still has downtime.
I just hate the downtime. But now it's all good.
We're back to normal, which is good.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But I haven't been to the gym properly in like
six weeks.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
What should they say, You can't go to the gym
because of the pressure.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yes, the pressure. Yeah, so you know, my veins popping
when I talk.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Imagine the eyeballs me mid squat, they'd probably explode. But yeah, no,
I just feel a little bit out of routine and
bit gross.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Got to get back into it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But yeah, that's the latest with me, but I want
to hear how your time was.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
What's the goss.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Any juicy behind of scenes details you can share.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, I mean it was like a totally new experience.
Like I thought I was going in there like Love Island,
like I've done it before, should be fine. But it
was like completely different to why i'd like anticipated.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Because you're hosting now.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, so it's like a whole different world.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You're not risen up.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I'm not risen up any birds. I'm not even risen
up the horsts you probably were. Now it was completely different,
and it was like definitely like I was definitely out
of my comfort zone, which I feel like was good. Yeah.
I was like obviously a lot more nervous because it's
not like improv I just get to say what I
want to say.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, you got lines, You've got lines.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, and it's like a whole new ball.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Game, Like, oh well, no, I think it will help
with your career you're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So it's good to like step out your comfort zone
and like do new things. And like now I've done
it and I've got better at over the course of
the time I was there, I've got confidence now that
I can like do it in other like TV shows
and so forth. You know, it's so weird, s guy,
because like you instead of like just saying what you want,
like we normally do, yeah, pretty much like this, yes,
but like we'd have like your pieces in and they
(06:04):
would like feed you a line, So you've got to
repeat it, and then.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
You've got to say it in your own words.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
No, you gotta Yeah, you've got to pretty much say
it in your own words, but like it's a beat behind,
but they're still feeding you lines as you're talking.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Oh my god, that's so confusing.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And plus you've got to like react to like what
you're saying too. It's not like you can just sit
there and like repeat what they're saying in your ear.
Like you've got to like action it as well. So
it was pretty hard.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
So were they like telling you what the contestants were
doing or something, and then you'd have.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
To be like so Mike a Namy or whatever. I
didn't watch the season.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
The only thing I saw was that thing that went
absolutely viral on TikTok. Mom Sita and that guy's like
you're a mum of what a dog? And she's like, no,
I have a baby.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, it went crazy, but no, we would have to
like so during the week, I would just watch all
the episodes, but not just like watch them and do stuff.
Like I'd have to sit there and like it's almost
like homework. Yeah right, I can have my viewpoints, my
perspectives and all that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
And you can talk about the main event.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, that's right. So I would do that all week,
and then on Friday we would film and that's when
we got to like basically go through the whole different
like week of activities and stuff that they've done and
like dissect it and like show our opinions and stuff.
But whilst doing that, we still have to like have
lines that we got to say as well. So it
was hard. It was really hard. But by the end
of it, I was like so much more confidence doing it.
(07:24):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
That's giving UNI projects, Yes.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
UN project. Yeah, it was. But some of the times
we'll be filming, like even though it's just like one episode,
we could spend like we would start filming out say
I don't know, like one o'clock, one pm, and sometimes
we'd finish like three am. No episode. Yeah, so you
can imagine how much goes into it. You know, because wow,
the fuck ups and stuff with the lines and so forth.
(07:47):
Not just on my end, but like everyone, you.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Know, right, so is it that season done? Now?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Yeah, that season's done. Now, the winner's been announced and
so forth.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Who want it?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Maya and Brian so to be they were actually my favorites.
I was like shipping them from the starts. I'm so
glad they won purely because am I the girl who
like was I was like my favorite. She was like
not find in love with anyone, but she was so funny,
like she was reality TV goal.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh my gosh, I really need to watch it.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Clips alone, but like just got me in stitches. I
was like, I want her to win and I don't
care who she's with.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Yeah whatever, she's my face.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah. And the guys she won with like came in
at the end and like it was the perfect.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Ending, you know, oh yeah cute. So any juicy goss
for us?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Juicy goss? I mean, there's not too much juicy goss
on my end. But one thing I did like realize,
I'm like I know this from reality TV days, right,
Like we obviously watched the shows and we have our
opinions on people, and like how they're perceived, right.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
So like there was like three or four people that
I was like, oh my god, they're my favorite, like
the best. And as soon as they got voted out
and I spoke to the producers and like everyone that
works in the show, they were like, thank god they
have left. They are worse people, so rude, so disrespectful.
So and I'm like, oh my god, I would never
have thought that. Like, yes, reminds me that like what
you see is just like.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Not everything, not everything. Yeah, yeah, that's so true.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You've got to be so careful like when you're watching
TV and having your opinions on people, because it's not
always as.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It seems as if you're going to be rude to
like producers or people you're working with anyway.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, I know. I think it's just like your moral compass.
No matter what job you do, you got to be.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Like respect absolutely favorite.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
She's my favorite. Get kicked. I was like, thank god
they've gone. They're so rude till respectrum. Like I feel
bad thing. I'm like I was shipping them.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
All right, So what was the villa like that you
were staying in. Was it like fancy or yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
So all us horse had ore like a nice like
villa that we were staying in, like on the beach.
It was beautiful and like stunny. We only worked one
day a week, so the whole other time we were
just like relaxing up at the pools going to the islands,
like it was like a proper holiday.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
That's amazing.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
But the actual villain itself for Love Island is absolutely massive.
Like really, the show is getting so big in America
that they're just pouring more and more money into it
and it's just getting like it's literally like a result
now it's not even like an island like it normally is,
like it's a resort. Like the island had like saunas
in there. They had like foot or booths like you
could photo. It was wild. Yeah, when I walked in there,
(10:10):
because I knew that it was going to be bigger
and like better because they've got more money now because
the show is doing so well.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh the TV in America in the UK so much.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Just to put it into perspective, I think that the
villa in the US was over ten times the size
of the villa in Australia that they used in Spain.
Oh my god, how big it was like.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
And how many contestants.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It will probably be like thirty contestants all.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Are, oh thirty, that's a lot more than what they
do in Australia.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
It's like a constant like revolve indoor of just like
new people. And then they have this like cast cast
away is right.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yes, the one that they go away to.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, they got a way to and then they bring
people back if they want to. I think the casta
are more for the USA, which is like obviously the
smaller villa is bigger than the Australian villa in Spain.
Oh my god, the cons hear me haws his pros
and cons. Because when I did like the toll when
I first got there, I was like, yeah, it's amazing.
It's massive, Like if I was to go on Love Island,
(11:06):
like I would want to be in that villa. But
then a part of me is like I like it
when it's a bit smaller because you can get.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
More drama and more intimate.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, like you could easily like take a girl over
Rizra secretly in that villa. No no, no, he's so big,
right yeah, but then it's like less drama then because
like people can't see you or.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Like hear you yeah, but was their drama.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
There was always drama. There was so much drama. Like
I had to do like a roof plays of the week,
So part of my role was like to review all
of the episodes and like pick which I think was
like the best part of it, and I couldn't because
they were all so good, like so juicy, yes, so juicy.
And the drama mainly comes from the games, which you
know Matti from The Jungle, the producer from The Jungle, Yes,
(11:45):
that there's the challenges he does the challenges on this show,
and the challenges that he put together this year were
crazy because even if it was more drama in the villa,
the challenges would like make drama. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
And then the girls are like why are you kissing her?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And they're like it's small the game, Yeah, it's just challenge.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah. And it's so funny because like you know, there
could be a couple of girls and are just like, oh,
I just kissed him because it's like just a challenge
and make the boys are kicking off yeah. But then
like you know, a couple of days go by, there's
another challenge and the boys do it. Yeah, and it's
like you can't kiss her. He's just like it's just
a challenge.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But they take it so serious. They're like, no, we has.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
To, yeah, we must. But I mean, like, I'm a
big believer in like if you're doing a challenge, you've
got to remember that you are doing a TV show.
You make it fun. And like, there were a couple
of people not just say any names. There were a
couple of people that were more reserving the challenges, And
I'm like, you've known this guy or this girl for
like one week, Like why have you got commitments and
you can't kiss other people in the game.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, but I feel like most of the people get
involved and actually do Yeah, most of them do.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Yeah, but they do that.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Because they want, you know, whoever the they're dating to
kick off and be like why did you kiss her?
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Like that's the whole point of it.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And it does like even though you've only been with
seventy four one week with Love Island, like you do
gain so much feelings in like one week.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, because you're living together together, I feel like everything's
so much more heightened too.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Oh my god, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I don't know what, Like you cannot decipher between reality
or like you in the house.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Yeah, it just feels so real.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You don't even think about the outside world when you're
in there. You're in this bubble. And I always said
that one day is the equivalent to one week in
the real time. So like one people, why is she
being so dramatic Like they've only know each other for
like a week, and I'm like a week in the
villa is crazy because you got to remember when we
meet people. I know, you haven't deated for a while,
but when you date people, you know, you might spend
(13:33):
like two hours them that week. Then the next week
you might go for another dinner and spend like another
two hours. Maybe third week you might see them twice
that week.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
But you're having like time.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
In the course of like you know, a month, you
might have spent the talk love, Like I don't know,
twenty hours with that person right in the villa. That's
one day.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, Like it naturally just moves really quick, so quick anyway,
because you're so you're in each other'son you.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Literally like yeah, you're literally sleep in the same bed
as that person. You're pretty much into much straightaway, Like
it's what on this year's Love Island, Everyone was banging too,
which was crazy. Usually there's like one or two, but
this year, like they were all active, and I was like, yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
My gosh, that's so funny. But like, yeah, go for
a year whatever. Yeah, how Sally? I love her?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Oh yeah, Sally's so good. She's like literally like my
right hand man when it comes to.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Like, yeah, you guys seem really cool.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I met her on Love Island Games like two years ago,
and then last year I did some after Sun episodes
with it as well, like the hosting stuff, but I
only came for like two and obviously this year I've
done the same sort of role as her, so we
were together like pretty much the whole time. And like
she is like one of the nicest, Like I love
Sally Tibits, Like she's like a role model to me.
Like she made me stop drinking alcohol, Like I've put
(14:43):
alcohol and it was all she did like years sober
now and I'm like, she's been a year so much
she stopped drinking alcohol like this time last year and
when she was in Fiji this year, she's passed her
one year anniversary, had not a single drop of alcohol.
Like all these things that she's doing with her life.
I'm just like this is so inspiring, Like she's such
a good girl.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
That's so inspiring, but also mom lives.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
So I quit alcohol when I was over there. I
stopped drinking cause I was like, I'm literally on holiday
for like six days of the week, and like all
I want to do is drink magarite is the pool? Right?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So I was like, if I don't go like fully
teettal and end up just drinking every day, like of
course you would no responsibilities, Like of course you would, right,
I mean a.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Couple is fine, but maybe not every day. Yeah, me neither.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Lockie brought a red wine bottle home the other day
and I'm like, where's the other bottle?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
What are you doing? Here? Goes babe, just know your limits.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I'm like, I don't have a limit.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
I'm like dollar'side one glassy, I'm like filling it to
the top and.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I feel like, Yeah, I was like, I'm gonna just
try it because I've never done sobriety. Is it so
brighty today? Call it? I think it's so briety where
you just don't drink or.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Was that not having sex or celibacy? Is sex before marriage.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Nor celibacy is just nor sex. Oh and so sobriety
is nor drinking?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Right much better do you feel?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Oh? My god? Yes, guy, I cannot tell you. Even
in the first like two weeks i'm not drinking, I
was like, I'm more alert, I'm more focused, I'm getting
more productive, I'm getting more stuff done, i feel more awake,
I'm more energetic. I'm like, I didn't realize that the
effect of alcohol was having on me until I completely stopped.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Dude, I have like our full calm down, Like if
I am hungover, that wrecks me for a week.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, and then you just drink again over the next
couple of days and you never like get to that
like peak performance with anything in life.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
No, definitely not.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But I'm not going to do like I'm not going
to try and never drink again. I'm going to definitely
open to drinking again. But it's just now that I've
been able to go like two and a half months
without any alcohol, now my mentality has changed, Like I
know I can go out have fun and not drink.
I'm like, I'll only drink now if there's like events
or occasions. I have to ask Skye, because you've got
(16:54):
so much going on in your life, like your outdates,
your brands, you reno, what's happening there?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Mate, It's been a fucking disaster, to be honest, Like
I feel like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.
I don't know if I spoke about this on my profile,
but basically the kitchen island bench had gotten installed, but
it was one hundred mil higher than the back of
the bench, so it was like really high on me,
(17:23):
and I'm like, oh my god, this is like really
high for a kitchen bench. So we had to dismantle
it all, take you back to the factory, like cut
it down, and then there's just been like problem after problem,
like cause Lockie and I obviously busy. It doesn't have
a project manager. This this house is like a five
million dollar project, so like you can imagine how chaotic
(17:46):
it would be not having someone be like, right, do this,
do that?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Checking over everything. So it's been really hard.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But they were just looking at me going it was
on the plans, like because they obviously read the plans
that the design has done and just go off that.
Because Lockie and I aren't in there, they can't ask
us like, hey, where do you want this.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, Like if you were in there, well two were
making that bench, you'd have been like, bru, that's way
too high.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
It was too lady been built exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I would have been like, oh no, no, no, no,
that's not the right high.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
I mean, like, it sounds like something so small, but
if you're spending so much money, you want it to
be perfect. I know, and I am that would wreck
my brain.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I know I am a bit of a perfectionist when
it comes to stuff like that. But anyway, the bathroom
I walked in there's this big, square, ugly whatever the
fuck it was. I didn't even know at the time.
I'm like, I go, what is that? He goes, that's
your exhaust fan.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And I'm like, why is it?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Because you know when you shower and the steam there's steam,
the steam has to go through.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
An exhaust fan.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
And they're like, you have to have it there, and
I'm like, but surely it doesn't have to be right
smack bang in the middle of the wall. I'm like,
surely it can go somewhere else, like what I mean?
And I'm like, where did you get that from? Like
did we choose that? What the fuck's happening, and he's like,
that's just what I brought. I'm like, oh my god,
so you don't didn't even get one from us. He's
(19:06):
just bringing bringing his own exhaustment, smacking it on the wall,
and I'm like, on.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
The wall, on the ceilings, on the wall, what is
it on the wall, I don't know, on the seat
and I know, I'm like, oh my god, it is.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
And then you've got to pay the trades to redo
what they've done.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So it's just like.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
And I can imagine it's so frustrating for them too,
because like they've put in the work, they've done what
they're supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, they've read the plan.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Doesn't sit right with you to undo their own work
and then redo it in a different way.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I know.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So I'm like, I'm so sorry, Like me, I know,
but I'm like, fuck, it's not good. So yeah, we've
just had to navigate through that. But I think with
rolls and stuff lock he's done all the ordering of
like all the windows, the doors, everything like that. I
feel like I'm just going to swoop in and be
more involved when like it's and I can choose furniture,
(20:01):
I can make it pretty like I'm a girl.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I don't I'm not a tradesman.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
I don't know where to put an exhaust fan or
I don't even know you could get different exhaust fans
until I saw the square one and then I googled
it and I'm like, right, so there is more ascetic
looking exhaust fans that we could have used.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I mean, I can't. I don't know I would even
know what an exhaust fun is.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
That's what I mean. Like it's been a massive lock.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
He's like very aware of all this stuff. Like that
is like he's almost like his trade, right. He knows
more about this stuff than like the general guy.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Definitely, but there's such a huge difference, like this is
a residential project whereas he works on retail, so that
they are like completely different. But yeah, I've learnt a lot.
There's just little hiccups, but we're getting it fixed. We've
had to take out a second loan. So the first
loan was eight hundred thousand, the second loan was four
(20:52):
hundred thousand, and we're still not even going to be
completely finished. Like it's just a money it's a money
taking you.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Honestly, I think there's somewhere in this world that there's
football stadiums that get built quicker than your house.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I know.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Literally, it's just never ending.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's never ending.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I'm not a treaty, but maybe actually get some work will.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
To give a help in hand, seriously, and then what
would my role be cleaning because I'm cleaning nobody.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Apparently there's like trades that they actually hire to clean
up because you'll go in there once a trade he's
done that thing and I'm like, what's this mess?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And Lookie's like, babe, that's an actual job.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Like the trades don't get paid to go in and
clean up after themselves. They're going and do a job
and that's all they're required to do. So you actually
have to have someone on to clean up.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And I'm like, well, far.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Reow, I'm going to become a cleaner.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah you can.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
We got job the trades cleaner or something. But yeah,
there's just endless things to do and just yeah, lots
of hiccups.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
It's yeah, like have you been arguing? Like I can
imagine there'd be arguments.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Involved, definitely, and like he is so annoying, God bless
him though, He's just trying to get it finished. But
like every day because I'm on like the furniture end
of stuff. So I've ordered like some lights from this brand,
and every single day he asked me.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Where are the lights. We'll see update on the lights.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm like, bro, I haven't even fucking replied to my sister,
my best friend.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I haven't checked if the dogs have got water.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I'm not fucking talking to the lights people right now.
And he asked me like every hour and then get this.
He he harassed, harrassed, harassed for the furniture to be delivered,
and he'd been talking to my manager because she reached
out to this furniture brand whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
And then he's like, yep, this is a date that
the house is going to.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Be finished, ready to set up the furniture anyway it
gets delivered. I'm like, dude, there's room, yeah, there's no
fuming roots, Like, what do you want to do with
this furniture like just sitting there in boxes. There's dust
and shit everywhere, dog poohs all through the house. I'm like,
where are we going to move the boxes of furniture
now when this needs to be like completely cleaned. I'm like,
(23:08):
I'm not getting that fucking furniture out.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Of the bar.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
No, that's right, I can, and I would agree, Like
if you if you want to get your new things
out when it's editing's.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Clean, and it's crash, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Like exciting to put it together too, right, it's like
you're decorating there. You want to be decorated when there's
like holding the roof because.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
It's seriously like dust everywhere. Oh my god, it's just
just it's so stressful.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
But I feel like when you get it done eventually,
like it'll be so like rewarded. You have so much
more free time as well.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Then right, we'll probably have to sell. We'll be like,
we'll have no money left. It's so expensive.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
You have so much profit in that anyway.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, you can do it again.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
No, I don't think I would do a project that
size again or of that caliber, because especially with the kids,
the dogs, I'm like, and we're both running our own businesses.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I'm like, this is it's just so hectic.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
But I do think that if we were ever to
renovate again, I would definitely take time off work and
just focus on project managing or like at least overseeing
the trades because they just get to go in there,
no one's in there. I'm usually in the garage frolicking,
editing videos and stuff there.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
The dogs like because when I rock up to the house,
the dogs go crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
They kick off, and I'm like, oh my god, and like,
we've got people in our driveway constantly.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I can barely use my driveway.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
There's like wood planks laying around, There's rocks that we
were supposed to put in the garden somewhere. I'm like,
this is so hectic. It's inside of my brain. That's
literally what it looks like. So, yeah, that's the update there.
But we are very close.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Okay, get it done like the next couple of months
or probably not.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I'm going to say hopefully by the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
The end of the year. Yeah, I know, literally like
a month ago. You're like, I'll be done like next month.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
And then he's like, Babe, let's book Japan. I'm like, Babe,
let's fucking move into our house.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know, like, you're gonna need a holiday after this stot,
maybe take one more law not just like yeah, like
a honeymoon.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
The bank will be like you can fuck right off
the all You've got to know we've lent you that
much money.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
What do you mean, what are you chatting about? Howls? No,
I just need a holiday. Nah. But it's good, it's
it'll get done. I have hope.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
What would you say is the most expensive item so far?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I am so not private with money, like I'm happy
to tell people what shit costs. The oven was I
think fourteen thousand dollars just the oven.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Was that the most expensive per chase for.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Like one thing alone? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:45):
But I think all the stone, the windows, the doors,
they were the most expensive and we're probably spent like
or also the stairs, just the metal steel stairs that
we have that was about forty thousand just for stairs,
like just the railing.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It would be cheaper to organize a lift in that. Yeah,
cheaper than forty year.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Und I know.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's just crazy, but because you're paying for like high
quality items, it works out to be so expensive. So yeah,
the stairs were the most expensive. The oven, the appliances.
I don't think the fridges were too bad actually, but yeah,
this crazy. The stone, the doors, they were the most
expensive thing, and I think it was probably around like.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Two hundred thousand.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
For all the windles and stones.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
And like the stone, like it's stone stone so expensive.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah, that is mental But so what are you get
that back when you sell it? Right if you were
to sell in future, Like, do you think you'd get
your money back from that? Hope?
Speaker 1 (26:48):
So otherwise I'll be yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Because people do look for that when they're buying like
a higher value property. They do look for those, like
applying stuff like it's a big and the stairs do
look good, like it's a big part that.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, And I think that people in the industry would
know that, Oh that's a really expensive item. Yeah, or
that's expensive what do they call it, like run it? No,
that's an expensive material material?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yes, granite?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Why I don't know, but anyway, yeah, that's an expensive material.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
So do you have any regrets You regret any of
the purchases, or have any regrets in general?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I think I just regret not being more involved and
not making sure I'm like checking up on what's happening
every day. But I feel awkward, like I don't want
to walk into the house as a female and like
boss the trades around kind of thing. But now I'm
just ruthless as fuck. I'm like, nah, I don't like that. Sorry,
(27:47):
you're gonna have to get rid of that. And I
remember one day because they were like cigarette butts everywhere,
and Lockie and I were doing work around the pool,
like getting the pool cleaned up, and I just kept
finding them when I was getting so funnustraighted and I
walked up to them and I got a bucket. I said, hey, guys,
all rubbish is to go in this bucket, please, including
cigarette butts. And they must have just been like, you
(28:12):
don't give me attitude, but yeah, I'm just like, oh,
it's just crazy industry.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Butter.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
Be more present, Yeah, be more present. They would probably
honestly prefer to be bossed and I'm a little bit
more and have your presence there than be told they've
got to rip something off because it's not done right
and then redo it. So true, and it saves you
more time as well.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Very true. That's so true.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So yeah, be more present, get more amongst it, even
though I might not have any clue what's going on.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Maybe just try to understand.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You'd be like put that window there and they're like,
it's a fucking.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Door, and also yeah, they're like oh what Probably yeah,
Also be or more across the plans, because like everyone
can make mistakes in the industry, and the plans may
not always be right.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
So those are my two regrets.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Maybe just like looking over and understanding the plans and
being more present.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Well, it's not too late to turn it around because
you got about six months or maybe even ten years
left of this, right or so let's start today.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Do Yeah? Actually I quit. There's been times I said
it to Lucky yesterday. I'm like, put it on the market.
He's like, not until it's finished.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Like no, now, I'm like it was sold when no
one was living in it will be okay.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
But yeah, it's a lot, but we'll get there. We'll
get there. There's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It always is.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Everyone's going to be very excited to finally see it finished.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I feel like you said a girl as about like
like instant gratification, right, explain, Like instant gratification is like
when you want you when you do something you want
to done, like no, like or if you do a job,
you want to be paid now. If you yes, if
you're going to go shopping, you want to get it now. Yeah,
you want to wait for shit?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I don't want to wait.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah, Like that's how I am as well, like I
wanted like yesterday. Yeah, yeah, that would wreck my brain,
not without Like I'm just I'm not seeing the light
of the the tunnel, I know.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And that's why I think I lost interest at the start,
because there was just so much to be done and
every day going.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I'm like, so what did everyone do today?
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Because it looks the same and look, He's like, babe,
there's a lot more that goes into it than just
like visual visual stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So I would say it's like almost like claiming a mountain.
Renovations like claiming a mountain.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I think climbing a mountain would be easier.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, neverest big that is Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
No, wait, people have died doing that.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Yeah, and only people have died doing renovations.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Oh it's maybe they're pretty dangerous. I remember when I
was jack hammering the tiles. I was jack hammering, I
was and this tile flew down and slipped my leg open.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I was like, oh my god, I need to wear
long pants.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Yeah. People they got p p PPQ. What PPQ?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
What is that pe?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Protective Personal protective equipment? You need that pepere's.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It's hard heart, yeah, hard hat, hard boots.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, it is pretty dangerous, but I'm
not sure.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
But I feel like when I say climbing a mountain,
I mean like at the bottom, you're like, oh my god,
like where do we even start, Like there's so much
to do. I'm not seeing any progress. But like as
you get like higher and higher up, you start to
see like the ending more clear, gives you more motivation
to like keep going.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Right, Yeah, I mean I guess we're at that point now,
like and I can actually go in there and be like, oh,
it actually looks like a house now. Before it was
just like an empty shell, like just yeah, nothing, a
whole lot of nothing, just dust and dirt.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
So we are getting there.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Has any of the rooms been like fully complete where
you're like, Okay, this is how my bathroom is going
to look.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
No, none of the rooms are complete except for the
ones upstairs.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Oh this is another funny thing that happened.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
So we'd already finished renovating the upstairs area before starting
the downstairs, and downstairs we had knocked down every single
wall so that it was fully open.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
So upstairs started to crack and.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Move because naturally the whole house is moving, and all
the cornices had come off.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Why helps move in Because.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
When you knock down walls and doors and stuff, the
house moves because the that's the structure of the house.
And we got rid of like sixty seventy percent of
the structure of the house, so it moved upstairs and
all of our corners cracked, so we had to get
it Redone the other morning, I walked upstairs to get
something from the upstairs bathroom. This fucking massive piece of
(32:28):
corners is just fucking on the floor, falling down.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
I'm like, are you fucking giving me?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Oh my god, like almost like an earth quicks happens, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
But I don't.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
And then I called locking and I'm like, something's happened.
He's like, oh, for fox sake, what now? Like I can't,
I can't, I'm like. And then I called him and
told him and he's like, is it bad. I'm like,
he's like, for fox sake, I don't have any more
cornice now, and I'm like, it's not that bad, it's fine.
He's like, you know what, I looked at that yesterday
and night yesterday and I noticed that it was loose,
and I'm like, why didn't you fucking fix it?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Then?
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Mate, why somebody's got to have them?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Seriously, I'm like, oh my gosh. So yeah, there's just
something at every turn, but yeah, it's gone well. Alrighty guys,
