Carly PortchHOST
That is no easy feat.
Michelle HeymanGUEST
So it's been like an incredible journey.
GabiHOST
Being home renovators, do you like watching The Block because they're doing a similar thing or do you hate it because they have a ridiculous budget?
Michelle HeymanGUEST
Um, used to love it.
Michelle HeymanGUEST
We even applied back in, I think it was like 2019 before we even did a reno, like we even applied.
Michelle HeymanGUEST
Thanks so much for all the support.
Michelle HeymanGUEST
Really appreciate it.
RodHOST
Boy, oh boy, there are some nervous participants from the block going into these auctions.
GabiHOST
Yeah, happening this weekend.

Coming up today, I sit down with TV icon Scott Cam.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
You'll know him from The Block, where he's been hosting the show for more than 16 years.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
It's remarkable.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
And he joins me today to share his incredible backstory from tradie to TV royalty, what he thinks about the housing crisis in Australia, and how he navigates the generational divide with his own kids.
8 MINS LATER
Scott CamGUEST
One, one day a fortnight or one, or sorry, two days a fortnight and, well, it was just a pilot to start with.
Scott CamGUEST
Anyway, I thought, how am I gonna do this? And I thought, well, I've been rehearsing myself for 35 years, so I may as well just be me.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
[laughs] Uh, and what did you think when you did your first filming and your first, I, I guess your trial and you, and you went on a few shows that were successful but not to the level of The Block, but all of a sudden I guess your side hustle became your job.
Scott CamGUEST
Well, not for 10 years.

Jacqui FelgateHOST
You can still have a chat with me about former retired magistrate Tony Parsons and his view on youth crime.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
And also, this week on the podcast, I spoke to Scott Camp, Scotty Camp from the block, and he told me that he got his dead dog's taxidermied.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
Have you ever had anything taxidermied? One of them sits on his landing, on his stairwell, and she's been there for years.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
What have you done when your pets have passed? 25 minutes to six.
Jacqui FelgateHOST
Love your energy.

Ryan JonHOST
Seven a block.
Aaron RyanHOST
We have spoken before about Country Home Rescue, and the deeply personal restoration of her family home in Kyneton, and also had the privilege of chatting with Shaynna, Jess, and Carly about The Fort, their powerful film exploring domestic violence and intergenerational trauma.
Aaron RyanHOST
Of course, audiences also know Shaynna as a long-serving judge on The Block, but her latest project takes her away from the controlled chaos of an Australian renovation site and drops her, alongside a fellow designer, Darren Palmer, into a centuries old house in the Sicilian village of Castronovo.
Aaron RyanHOST
They bought these, bought it sight unseen for the symbolic price of €1 with no structural report and no certainty about what they would find when they opened the door.
Aaron RyanHOST
The first three episodes of €1 House with Shaynna and Darren have now aired, and they have already shown the scale of the challenge.
Shaynna BlazeGUEST
And it, and it, and it is those things that, you know, e- everything that you tackle in these types of places are completely unknown, and it's what's going to work and what's not going to work.
Shaynna BlazeGUEST
And, um, whitewashing, it's done all the time and, and Scott said, "Yeah, I've done heaps of them." But these timbers were so raw, and they just absorbed at a rapid rate that Scott's like, "I can't stop it." [laughs]
Aaron RyanHOST
[laughs]For years on The Block you've, uh, walked into rooms, um, at the end of, of a frantic week and judged what contestants have achieved under pressure.
Aaron RyanHOST
In Sicily you were the person living with the dust, the delays, the unexpected structural problems, and the exhaustion.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
Very grateful to him.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
I said, "I've just finished on a TV show." And he goes, "Is this Matt, as in Matt and Rob from The Block?" And I'm like, "Yeah." And he goes, "Mate," he goes, "d- we have to sell this house today." He goes, "If you want this house, you can get it today for a steal because it needs to go." And I'm like, "Fab." And so I literally put my AirPods in, like what I have now, cutting someone's hair, and bought it over auction-
Elle LovelockHOST
You're joking
Mat JohnsonGUEST
...
13 MINS LATER
Mat JohnsonGUEST
Um, and then before me going on the show, they put her through menopause.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
They took out a fibroid.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
They put her then through puberty again, and then the hormones for IVF, and bang, she fell pregnant my first week on The Block.
Elle LovelockHOST
[laughs] When it rains, it pours.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
I said, I've just finished on a TV show.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
And he goes, is this Matt as in Matt and Rob from The Block? And I'm like, yeah.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
And he goes, mate, he goes, we have to sell this house today.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
He goes, if you want this house, you can get it today for a steal because it needs to go.
13 MINS LATER
Mat JohnsonGUEST
And it just, we weren't, we weren't fortunate for a very long time.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
And Leah had to have several surgeries to end up becoming pregnant and they put her through menopause twice.
Mat JohnsonGUEST
And then before me going on the show, they put her through menopause, they took out a fibroid, they put her then through puberty again, and then the hormones for IVF, and bang, she fell pregnant my first week on the block.
Elle LovelockHOST
When it rains, it pours.

Yes, yes.
Erin HollandHOST
A huge career as a TV presenter, obviously.
Erin HollandHOST
Serge, you're very involved as well, obviously an athlete, cameraman, shooting this one and creating some of the most incredible programs that we've seen for so many years on TV.
Erin HollandHOST
But then did this kickstart your love of property? 'Cause this predated obviously starting on The Block, and now you guys are so firmly entrenched in property.
Shelley CraftGUEST
Th- always loved property individually.
