We made front page! We were really hoping that with our good looks and insightful opinions we’d make page 3 of the Sun… but we did better – front page of the Sunday Times baby! Apparently a lot of people read this newspaper too, as our website hits have snowballed to a new high, and our inbox has been more jammed than this:
Raspberry jam... although you probably already know that
News team assemble!
Since then, we’ve been non-stop interviewing for radio shows/TV around the world. Just today we lost our UK national TV news virginity to channel 5. Whilst we were filming with them, we even had the chance to paint our reporter, Minnie (another first). All in all, a pretty good day’s work… and then came the night.
Sunrise (largest breakfast TV broadcaster in Australia) had us in their London offices to do a live interview! Did we bat an eyelid? No. We fumbled and dithered our sentences as we sat opposite a camera, unable to see our interviewer, and only able to hear him through a very echoey and delayed earpiece. Still, it went ok, and in the words of my girlfriend: “it wasn’t that bad for a first time”.
Good morning, Australia
As I bid you goodnight, and bid Australia good morning, I leave you with an email received no later than 1 minute after airing on TV in Australia:
“Hi Boys,
Just watched you and David Koch having a chat on Sunrise.
I’m from Australia.
You boys looked so HOT!!
Great idea with this business too … but the HOTNESS factor was the main motivator for contacting you!”
By this point in the email, Ross and I were envisioning this:
Standard
Needless to say, we were pretty excited – “perhaps the British accent is wasted in Britain. No doubt, we’ll be fighting off the hoards of attractive girls throwing themselves at us in Australia!”*
… the email continued…
“I hope you boys are gay!
xxxx
Murray”
Oh well.
*For the benefit of my girlfriend, I would also like to add that Ross and I are scientifically minded, so we’d of course only like to move to Australia as a social experiment.
