- 0:17Speaker 1: that's what Love Island's about. And that flamingo over there,
- 0:20Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm spruiking her. But she's got
- 0:22Speaker 1: her own show.
- 0:23Speaker 4: Oh.
- 0:23Speaker 1: No, she doesn't.
- 0:25Speaker 2: The Flamingo host.

- 0:33Speaker 1: watch the entire fight. And the Flamingo's hosting. Yes. So
- 0:37Speaker 1: there's no, no, not really hosting, but, you know, that's
- 0:40Speaker 1: the face of the show there. Gotcha. Yeah, I have
- 0:43Speaker 1: nothing to do with that one. You've just got to
- 0:44Speaker 1: lug it around everywhere.
- 0:45Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I'm doing the press for her.
- 0:47Speaker 2: And Love Island, of course, is back. This season's a
- 0:50Speaker 2: little different to others. Why is it different?
- 0:53Speaker 1: Because it's in a massive villa in Fiji. It's just become, yeah,
- 0:59Speaker 1: the USA villa.
- 1:00Speaker 5: The USA villa.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Well, what's the USA villa?
- 1:02Speaker 1: It's just, it blew up. Like Love Island's been huge internationally,
- 1:06Speaker 1: but it's like officially a massive, like with the pop
- 1:08Speaker 1: culture now, it's there and it's staying and it's just.
- 1:12Speaker 1: So the American one just was massive. All the big
- 1:15Speaker 1: celebrities wanted to be on it and stuff. Yeah, really. Yeah,
- 1:18Speaker 1: so we're in that villa and it's just the best show.
- 1:20Speaker 1: I don't know what it did, but the contestants just
- 1:23Speaker 1: all straight away. It was just like drama, full on.
- 1:27Speaker 1: They were invested. They were all there for the right reasons.
- 1:30Speaker 1: It's just sometimes it clicks and you get a show
- 1:32Speaker 1: where you go, this is the best TV I've ever
- 1:36Speaker 1: watched in my entire life.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Wow, that's a big call.
- 1:38Speaker 1: It is a massive call. That's really cool. I've watched
- 1:41Speaker 1: Shawshank Redemption. I have watched Breaking Bad. Yeah, no, this
- 1:46Speaker 1: is better. All the intellectual stuff as well.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Do you reckon that these people are genuinely falling in
- 1:52Speaker 4: love with each other or do you think it's like–
- 1:54Speaker 4: I always think to myself, how do you fall in
- 1:56Speaker 4: love with.
- 1:56Speaker 5: Cameras everywhere around you?
- 1:58Speaker 4: But do you feel like there are some genuine connections made.
- 2:00Speaker 2: On the show?
- 2:01Speaker 1: No, it is. You can't because you get kicked out.
- 2:02Speaker 1: So you can't play the game. The game plays you.
- 2:05Speaker 1: You just can't because it's like you can't predict it either.
- 2:07Speaker 1: They all try. But you're going to get kicked out
- 2:09Speaker 1: if you're not there for the right reasons. So then
- 2:11Speaker 1: it is left with the right people. And they've got
- 2:13Speaker 1: the same interests. They like going to the gym. They're
- 2:16Speaker 1: all so hot. Yeah, they like their appearance. Veneers, tattoos.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:20Speaker 1: So they're into exactly the same shit. So why wouldn't
- 2:23Speaker 1: it work? But we've had our first Love Island baby
- 2:25Speaker 1: as well. So, yeah, and they're young. And, yeah, we've
- 2:28Speaker 1: got a really good success rate on Love Island.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Now, you wanted to know, Amy, if they actually get
- 2:33Speaker 2: it on.
- 2:33Speaker 4: I want to know because I know a lot of them,
- 2:35Speaker 4: they leave the show as a couple. And I always
- 2:38Speaker 4: think to myself, is there intimacy in the show?
- 2:42Speaker 1: Yeah. There is. Yeah, we don't show any of that. Yeah,
- 2:44Speaker 1: of course. Even though they're in bathers, you instantly think, oh,
- 2:47Speaker 1: my God, it's going to be sexual. And it's not like,
- 2:49Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it's sexy. It's definitely not, not sexy,
- 2:53Speaker 1: but it's like, it's not that stuff. You know, it's
- 2:55Speaker 1: not necessary. If it's not needed for the storyline, we
- 2:57Speaker 1: don't need it. And usually it's not. If they want
- 3:00Speaker 1: to talk about it, go for it.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Okay.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:02Speaker 2: But it won't be, is it like cameras in the room?
- 3:05Speaker 1: I mean, these cameras everywhere.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Literally everywhere.
- 3:08Speaker 2: So they're doing it knowing that they're being filmed.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
- 3:11Speaker 2: They just don't care.
- 3:11Speaker 4: Usually they're in like dorm style rooms where they're bed
- 3:15Speaker 4: after bed after.
- 3:15Speaker 5: Bed, right?
- 3:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Yes.
- 3:16Speaker 5: And then can you win like nights away in like
- 3:19Speaker 5: little rooms?
- 3:19Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you can. Like the audience can vote. We've
- 3:21Speaker 1: got power couples this year, which is massive. So that's
- 3:24Speaker 1: all our successful cast of couples are coming back to
- 3:26Speaker 1: make decisions. So are they coming on to kind of–
- 3:30Speaker 1: Like the super fans were previously. Yeah. And they know
- 3:34Speaker 1: what they're doing and they get so passionate and, yeah.
- 3:37Speaker 1: And we've got an extra two episodes because they could
- 3:40Speaker 1: not cut down the content. It was insane.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Because best show ever, according to Sophie.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Best show.
- 3:45Speaker 5: If you were single, we know you're happily married now,
- 3:47Speaker 5: but if you were single, would you ever go on it?
- 3:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:50Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 3:50Speaker 1: You know how much time you would save? Like, if
- 3:53Speaker 1: you want to know a guy's going to turn his head,
- 3:55Speaker 1: I've made it three, four years before. You know, you
- 3:59Speaker 1: want to know straight away, okay, I'm dealing with this
- 4:01Speaker 1: kind of person.
- 4:02Speaker 2: It's a good test.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Yeah, put him to the test. Get yourself in Love
- 4:06Speaker 4: Island and with loads of other hotties. Yep.
- 4:09Speaker 2: You'll know if he's trustworthy.
- 4:10Speaker 1: And see if your man looks.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Hey, Sophie.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Probably me that would look.
- 4:12Speaker 3: We were talking about Bardot the other day. I can't
- 4:15Speaker 3: remember why, but back in the noughties, obviously. And then
- 4:18Speaker 3: you've done Solo. Could we expect a new single? From
- 4:22Speaker 3: Sophie Monk anytime soon?
- 4:24Speaker 1: I don't know. Like, it's really cute. People keep saying that,
- 4:27Speaker 1: but no one's asking for it. You realise, like, no
- 4:29Speaker 1: one's going, yeah, you need to get out there. There's
- 4:31Speaker 1: a tour offer. Like, there's no offers.
- 4:33Speaker 2: But I know it could reform.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I mean, but we'd all have to pay it. You know, like,
- 4:37Speaker 1: it's just not.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Right.
- 4:38Speaker 2: No one's coming to you.
- 4:39Speaker 1: No, no. So it's not on the table.
- 4:41Speaker 5: You could get on TikTok, though, and just start singing.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Yeah, like a loser. Everyone would be like, good on you.
- 4:46Speaker 1: No way. Also, I'm not that good live.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Do you ever go back and listen?
- 4:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:50Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 4:51Speaker 1: Like, I reckon once a month.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 4:53Speaker 1: I love the albums. They're so cool. We were the coolest.
- 4:56Speaker 2: And there's a trend going on that you wanted to do,
- 4:58Speaker 2: and we're going to do it with Sophie.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
- 5:01Speaker 2: We're going to put you to the test, actually, after that.
- 5:02Speaker 1: I don't want to be on the test.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Well, you're going to be put to the test, but
- 5:06Speaker 2: what is it? Yeah.
- 5:08Speaker 5: So am I going to do it now with her?
- 5:10Speaker 2: Do we want to do it now? No, we're doing
- 5:11Speaker 2: it after the song.
- 5:12Speaker 5: Can I do this one now with her? You can
- 5:14Speaker 5: do this one.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Okay, then we'll do more.
- 5:15Speaker 5: So we all got put to this test. It's really simple.
- 5:18Speaker 5: Nat did it to us. You can, I'll do you,
- 5:21Speaker 5: I'll ask you first.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Okay.
- 5:22Speaker 5: So how do you spell men?
- 5:23Speaker 1: M-E-N.
- 5:24Speaker 5: And how do you spell us?
- 5:26Speaker 1: U-S.
- 5:27Speaker 5: And put those two words together and what does it spell?
- 5:29Speaker 1: What was the first one again? Men. Men-us. No. Men-us.
- 5:35Speaker 1: What have I done wrong?
- 5:36Speaker 2: Men-us.
- 5:37Speaker 5: No, I did this same thing, yeah.

- 5:46Speaker 2: Oh.
- 5:47Speaker 1: I'm a genius.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Now, there was this thing going around about Gen Zs
- 5:51Speaker 3: not knowing how to spell, right?
- 5:53Speaker 1: Oh, yes. You don't need to.
- 5:54Speaker 2: No, you don't now.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I go like this. So I'm texting and then I go, restaurant.

- 6:04Speaker 1: I'm the worst. Sorry, kids, do not listen to me.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Don't listen to Sophie.

- 6:10Speaker 3: you next.
- 6:11Speaker 2: So stay right there, okay? I failed.

- 6:27Speaker 2: with you about, how does it work? Menus. Men us.
- 6:32Speaker 5: Yeah, every time you say menus, you spoil the game.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Yeah.

- 6:49Speaker 2: Brain fart?
- 6:49Speaker 1: No, brain twister. Right. Okay, I like those.
- 6:53Speaker 2: Well, we've got more. We're going to put some big
- 6:55Speaker 2: words up on the screen. We want to see if
- 6:57Speaker 2: you can pronounce them correctly.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Oh, God.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Are you ready?
- 7:01Speaker 1: I know this one. I've got a backstory about this one.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Okay, so what's this one?
- 7:05Speaker 1: It's actually kernel, but the reason I know this is
- 7:08Speaker 1: I went for an audition and while I was auditioning,
- 7:13Speaker 1: it was like a serious role. And I went, you
- 7:14Speaker 1: don't understand colonel. And then I realized later, I was like, Oh,
- 7:20Speaker 1: it's Colonel.
- 7:20Speaker 2: So you didn't get the role because of that?
- 7:23Speaker 1: No. Yeah, of course I didn't get the role. Colonial.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Yeah, we've all been there though. Okay, so it's spelled C-O-L. Okay, next.
- 7:30Speaker 2: What is this?
- 7:31Speaker 1: Oh, quinoa. What is that called again?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Quinoa.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Quinoa. That gross stuff you shouldn't eat.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Did we give it to her?
- 7:38Speaker 1: Quinoa.
- 7:38Speaker 5: Quinoa.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Quinoa.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Okay. Up next.
- 7:43Speaker 1: When you read it. Oh, Worcestershire. Yeah. Yeah.
- 7:47Speaker 5: See, I would have got that wrong.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 7:49Speaker 5: I always go Worcestershire.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I don't read it.
- 7:51Speaker 2: I just go Worcestershire. Worcestershire.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Worcestershire.
- 7:54Speaker 5: So it's like an I. So four of those letters
- 7:57Speaker 5: are basically blind.
- 7:59Speaker 2: The English language is ridiculous.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Isn't it?
- 8:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:02Speaker 1: It's pretty hard.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Roll out the next one.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Oh, anemone.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Anemone.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Anemone? Anemone.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Chelsea, can you correct us on this one? Anemone. How
- 8:16Speaker 2: do we pronounce this one?
- 8:17Speaker 1: What is it? No one even wants that word in
- 8:19Speaker 1: their lives. Why would you ask me?
- 8:21Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Well, think.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Someone. You would find these in the ocean a lot.
- 8:25Speaker 1: I don't need a description. I don't know what it
- 8:27Speaker 1: is anymore.
- 8:28Speaker 2: It's an anemone.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Anemone. Anemone.
- 8:31Speaker 2: What is that?
- 8:32Speaker 1: Anemone. And you'd find it in the ocean. Is it
- 8:34Speaker 1: a shark?
- 8:34Speaker 5: No, they're like little slugs, right?
- 8:36Speaker 2: Yeah, they're kind of, they're like a hole with squiggly things.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Oh my God, they're so unimportant for such a large name.
- 8:44Speaker 2: All right, and finally.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Opaque.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Opaque.
- 8:47Speaker 1: I know that from stockings.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Well, you know what? Lucky you don't really need to
- 8:50Speaker 2: spell and pronounce things. Ever. Ever, even.
