00:00Tonight on Healthy, Wealthy and Wise,
00:02a firefighter mum gets a makeover that will inspire us all.
00:06Oh, look at you.
00:08That looks awesome.
00:09Doesn't she look good?
00:11Jesus.
00:13Comedian Dave Thornton is our first victim of the box of death.
00:17What are you doing? I live in Melbourne. We only have hook turns.
00:20Like, that's the only thing I have to worry about.
00:22This room needs to be rescued.
00:25And this family can't believe how we transformed their home
00:28in a room rescue.
00:29Oh, my God.
00:43Hello, hello, and welcome to the very first episode
00:53of The Revitalised Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
00:56Yes, we are bringing it back.
00:58A bit of a polish, a bit of a zhuzh, but the bones are still the same.
01:02It's all about living smarter, feeling better,
01:05and maybe having a bit of a laugh along the way.
01:09I'm Chrissie Swan, and I'm so pleased to be here.
01:13And over there, within arm's reach of every fact you could possibly need,
01:18is our researcher and in-house info whisperer, Mr Ash Wicks.
01:23Yes. Hey.
01:24Hey.
01:26Now, we thought we needed someone that I could call on to answer questions in an instant,
01:31but sadly that person didn't show up.
01:33So we got Mr Mustache over there.
01:35Great start.
01:36I was first pick.
01:38Number one pick, they say.
01:39But anyway, I have got a broken phone screen,
01:43a vague sense of responsibility, and Google.
01:46So we're in safe hands.
01:47What could possibly go wrong?
01:49A lot.
01:49Now, our very first guest,
01:51it's someone who knows exactly how to make you feel confident in your own skin.
01:56She's a creative force, an entrepreneur, an author,
01:58a styling icon, and a genuinely beautiful human being.
02:02Of course, I'm talking about our style expert
02:05and my very good friend, Chika King.
02:07Take a seat.
02:10I mean, good on us for creating an entire TV show
02:14just so that we can sit on a couch and chat.
02:16I know, we never get to catch up, so now we get to do it this way.
02:18I love it.
02:19Now, I know what you're doing here,
02:21but why don't you tell our beautiful viewers what you're up to?
02:24Well, I'm here to help people reconnect with themselves
02:26because I think a lot of people feel style is something that's slightly intimidating.
02:31And really, when we look good, we feel good.
02:33So I'm hoping that with some perspective,
02:35I can show people how they can change the way they look and feel
02:38just with a tweak of an outfit or, you know, moving around to some furniture.
02:42Chika, where did your first Mission for Confidence take you?
02:46Well, the first person was Linda.
02:48She's from a town close to Bendigo.
02:50She is the chief officer at the CFA, and she's the most selfless woman.
02:54Her daughter put her forward, wanted to give her mum the spotlight
02:57and to get her out of her black clothing.
02:59So we had a lot of fun hanging out together
03:01and doing a little bit of a makeover.
03:03Oh, my God.
03:04I love this so much.
03:06It's fun.
03:07All right.
03:08Let's take a look.
03:08Let's do it.
03:09Well, hello, Miss Linda.
03:20It is so lovely.
03:22I'd like to meet you.
03:23You too.
03:24This is incredibly impressive.
03:25Big red truck.
03:26Big red truck.
03:27I know, I love it.
03:28Very exciting.
03:30Now, what are we doing today?
03:32Ashley.
03:32Oh, Ashley, have you done this?
03:35Yeah.
03:36My daughter Ashley nominated me.
03:38She's a member here at the Fire Brigade as well.
03:40She wants to see me try something new.
03:45I don't really have much style.
03:47I dress for comfort.
03:50I want to see mum get out of black.
03:52Okay, so she's wearing a lot of black, is she?
03:53Yes.
03:54When I'm not captaining the CFA, I am a lighting technician at the local theatre.
04:02Black.
04:03That's what we wear.
04:05It's just carried over into my real life.
04:08Because it's easy.
04:10And I'm lazy when it comes to fashion.
04:13Black.
04:14Black.
04:15Black.
04:15Oh, my God, you really aren't joking.
04:17I'm not.
04:17No.
04:18No.
04:18You don't have to think about, does this go with this?
04:21You just go with black.
04:23But I do have a little bit of colour in my velvet flares.
04:28Love, love, love, love.
04:30Yes, I do too.
04:31What would you wear with this, though?
04:32A black turtle neck.
04:36Dress?
04:37Dress, no.
04:38Definitely no dresses?
04:39No dresses.
04:39Okay, fine, that's cool.
04:40I'm not a dress person.
04:41No, no, I'm not totally fine.
04:42At all.
04:43I don't own a dress.
04:44Not one.
04:46I like to be able to jump into my firefighting gear when we get a page
04:52and not have to worry about getting out of a frock.
04:55And I'm assuming probably not much make-up.
04:57If it's a really special occasion, I'll put some mascara on.
05:01Woo-hoo!
05:01Woo-hoo!
05:02Okay.
05:03I've got no idea how to put it on.
05:04She couldn't even do my dance make-up when I was little.
05:06Oh, really?
05:07Did you have to learn how to do it yourself?
05:08Oh, no, I still can't do it.
05:09Make-up.
05:10Just not a priority in my life.
05:13I have no idea how to apply make-up, but I can drive a semi-trailer across the Nullarbor.
05:19I had breast cancer in 2022.
05:24I found the lump myself.
05:26Fortunately, it was nice and early.
05:27It hadn't gone to my lymph nodes, so I just had it removed a month of radiation treatment.
05:33And so far, so good.
05:35It certainly gives you a sense of your own mortality and that every day that you have is a gift.
05:41It also makes you realise that you've really got nothing to lose.
05:44Get out there.
05:46Do what you want to do.
05:47You might not get another opportunity.
05:50Okay.
05:51I think we can definitely give you some things that you can layer up and have fun with.
05:54Still keep it casual.
05:55Working with your personality and maybe move a little bit away from all the black.
05:59Aw.
06:00Are you happy to do that?
06:01I'm happy to have a crack at it.
06:02That's all we can ask for.
06:03We might even find you a few white T-shirts.
06:05Oh, me and white.
06:07Gosh, and they stay clean for about 30 seconds.
06:09It doesn't matter.
06:10Don't worry about that.
06:11I bet you that's not true.
06:12I bet you.
06:13Oh, it is.
06:13Oh, it is.
06:14And the boys here are going to love when you walk in and go, what have they done to our captain?
06:20Before I left, Linda was kind enough to give me a little wardrobe makeover of my own.
06:25A diverse and inclusive brigade that represents the community that we serve is really important, and I think that's important for all brigades.
06:36For me, it's all about breaking down barriers for women.
06:39People can be what they can see.
06:41Absolutely.
06:41And in the tanker, we're sometimes all girls.
06:44It's really nice seeing mums pointing to their little girls and saying, look, look, look.
06:52Oh, fire trucks, fire trucks.
06:54And the little girls are all there waving.
06:56Traditionally, that was a little boy thing.
06:58I have feelings for Linda, and I'm pretty sure they're real.
07:15She's a very special woman.
07:17Oh, my God.
07:17Do not go anywhere, because after the break, I will be sitting down with the master of the mic, Dave Thornton, who's blissfully unaware that he's about to face the box of death.
07:28Stick around.
07:30You'll see what I mean.
07:41This segment is brought to you by Bob Jane T-Mart's Best Tire Price Guarantee.
07:49Welcome back to Healthy, Lovely and Wise.
07:51Now, do not go anywhere, because we are smack bang in the middle of a chica-style makeover.
07:57We'll have the big reveal a little later in the show.
08:00But before we get back to the glam, we're shifting gears with a segment we like to call Fast Facts.
08:07Today, second-hand cars.
08:10Now, what to look for, what to run from, and how not to get sweet-talked into buying something that needs a new transmission and a priest.
08:18First, we've brought in our motoring expert, Adam Morris, from ReDriven, to give us all the info, and I'm going to time him two minutes.
08:28No pressure.
08:29How are you planning on timing that, Chrissie?
08:31How do you think?
08:32I thought you could just time it off my attention span, and then time that by six.
08:38And we should be around about there.
08:40I'm going to time him with two-minute noodles.
08:43The people's stopwatch.
08:45Amen.
08:45All right, Adam, you've got two minutes before these noodles go in my gop.
08:53G'day, I'm Adam, and I'm your motoring expert.
08:56And, look, let's be honest, when it comes to buying a car, there are some dodgy characters out there.
09:01It can be daunting, but I've got some good news.
09:03Avoid these red flags, and you should be sweet.
09:06It's the seller, and this also goes for car yards and dealerships as well.
09:10If the car doesn't allow you to get an independent pre-purchase inspection, they are hiding something.
09:15Do not buy that car.
09:16Also, if the car doesn't have a service history, or the service history seems dodgy, or the receipts or any of the paperwork isn't sorted,
09:23yeah, not a good sign.
09:24You need to learn as much about the car's history as you possibly can.
09:28Next up, if the odometer is showing 30,000 kilometers, but the rubber on the pedals is completely worn through,
09:34that's not a good sign.
09:35The kilometers should match the condition of the car.
09:37Also, modifications are generally a no-no.
09:40Plus, they might be illegal.
09:41This means that when it comes time to re-register the car, you won't be able to.
09:45Also, be really careful of dodgy finance deals and used car warranties.
09:50A bad finance deal can put you into a world of hurt, and most used car warranties are not worth the paper they're written on.
09:56You've got to read the fine print.
09:57Also, does the seller seem sketchy?
09:59Are they not answering the phone, or they want some weird form of finance?
10:02Or maybe they're way too enthusiastic to sell, and the price of the car is far too low.
10:07These are all red flags.
10:09Next up, looking out for any mismatched paint, or if the panel gaps aren't accurate,
10:13or if there are any signs of spray paint overspray, that's a good sign that the car has had an accident.
10:17And inside, if the car smells like wet dog, there's a good chance it's got some water leakage issues.
10:22Yeah, don't buy that car.
10:24Look, overall, if the car or the buying process doesn't feel right, or maybe it feels way too good to be true,
10:30it probably is.
10:31Just keep your emotions and your enthusiasm in check, and buy with your head, not your heart,
10:35and you should be good to go.
10:41And he's done.
10:43Let's see if Adam beat the noodles.
10:47Nah.
10:47Still got some crunch, so he's safe.
10:50And with that, it's time to slow it down a bit.
10:53Let's all just settle in, make a cup of tea, maybe have a classic late-night show chat with the guests.
10:59Nothing too intense.
11:01Nope.
11:02That's what a boring show would do.
11:04We are not that.
11:05We're taking it up a notch with a little segment we like to call...
11:08The Box of Death.
11:14Please welcome to The Couch Australia's own stand-up sharpshooter, Dave Thornton.
11:19Dave, hello.
11:20Hello, Swanee.
11:21How are you?
11:23Well, that's nice.
11:24Always an absolute pleasure to see you.
11:26And to you.
11:27Now, this time is going to be a little bit different.
11:30Yeah.
11:30Or no.
11:31Let me explain.
11:32This is Australia, and we live in a country where pulling down a sun visor in your car could
11:37unleash a large spider.
11:39And every third pot plant is harbouring something venomous with an attitude problem.
11:43So we thought, why not honour this national anxiety that we all share with a little challenge?
11:49While we chat, you're going to be holding a creature nature designed specifically to make
11:56you scream expletives.
11:57But you're not allowed.
11:58We're on telly.
12:00Your choices.
12:01A massive snake.
12:04Oh, Jesus.
12:04And if that doesn't tickle your fancy, your other choice is a giant spider.
12:13What are you doing?
12:14I live in Melbourne.
12:14We only have hook turns.
12:16Like, that's the only thing I have to worry about.
12:18Weirdly, a hook turn is your third choice.
12:22Really?
12:23Only joking.
12:24Your third choice is the box of death.
12:29Hey, Chrissie, this doesn't feel healthy, wealthy or wise.
12:32This doesn't hit any of the KPIs that we're trying.
12:35So I've got to choose between these three.
12:36Yeah.
12:37We do take our obligations seriously, and we want to return your children's father to them
12:42tonight after this show.
12:44Oh, that's nice.
12:44So we do have top-notch paramedics on standby.
12:50Hey.
12:53We actually couldn't afford a paramedic, so I've taken a crash course in first aid.
12:58I hope this program has deep pockets, because there's going to be a lawsuit.
13:01I just want to let you know.
13:02So, Dave, what are you vibing?
13:05Are you arachnophobic, spiders, or...?
13:08Ophidiophobic.
13:09I beg your pardon?
13:11Ophidiophobic.
13:12I believe it's fear of massive snakes.
13:14Wow.
13:15Yeah, I get paid to Google.
13:17No, I think the name for that is reasonable.
13:20Yeah.
13:20Like, it's not as if anyone's going, I'm fine with giant snakes.
13:23It is perfectly reasonable for that thing to, oh, my God, that doesn't look right.
13:28All right, we're going to take a break, and then when we come back,
13:30I'm going to need an answer.
13:33Oh, no, fair enough.
13:34Mention your sponsors, and then I die.
13:35That makes sense.
13:36That makes complete sense.
13:38Got to pay the bills, Thorno.
13:39We'll be back after the break.
13:40Healthy, Wealthy and Wise is brought to you by Specsavers.
13:55Welcome back to Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
13:56I knew you'd come back because you want to see which creature Dave Thornton is going to choose.
14:03Thanks for sticking around.
14:04Yeah, I shouldn't have.
14:06Well, you could have been a hasty retreat because before the break, I offered you three options.
14:12You can hold a snake, you can hold a spider, or you can go for whatever is in the box of death.
14:20And we're here to find out what it's going to be.
14:23To be honest, I spent the whole time texting Tommy Little to see if he could fill in, but...
14:27This sounds weird.
14:31It's better the devil you know, because I don't know what's in that box.
14:34I'm actually worried to see what's in it.
14:35And I hate spiders.
14:38And I don't know if I watched too many Motley Crue video clips when I was a kid,
14:41but I feel like I could wear the snake around me.
14:44I should be fine?
14:45You're going to do that?
14:46It looks like...
14:46Has it eaten recently?
14:47No, not recently.
14:50Oh, this is...
14:51This feels like I'm a D-grade celebrity, get me out of here.
14:54This feels...
14:56It looks so real.
14:57Oh, this doesn't feel good at all.
15:00Done all of this.
15:01There's a little lump in here.
15:02Was that Grandanya?
15:03What's going on?
15:04All right.
15:06Are we ready?
15:08Yeah, you have to hold the head.
15:09Why?
15:10Why do I have to do that?
15:11Because I just made it up.
15:13Oh, so you're not cool with it?
15:15No, I'm not cool with it.
15:16No.
15:17Honestly, oh, God.
15:19Oh, okay.
15:20All right.
15:21Start the clock.
15:22You, Dave Thornton, have had dozens of sellout shows both here and overseas.
15:26You've officially made it.
15:27How's your super?
15:30To be honest, I work in the arts, mate.
15:31It's just annuation.
15:33There's no super about it.
15:35Whatsoever.
15:35You have performed across the globe.
15:38Edinburgh, Montreal, Singapore.
15:40Why was your residency at the Sphinx in Geelong, the pinnacle of your career?
15:46Because I grew up in Geelong.
15:47I grew up in Detroit.
15:48I'm a proud Geelongian.
15:50And actually, the Sphinx Hotel.
15:52The drive-in bottle.
15:53Do you know what it's called?
15:54No.
15:54The toot and come in.
15:57That is the best.
15:58Isn't it?
15:59Dave Thornton, every comedian has to deal with abuse from hecklers.
16:03Have you ever heard them say anything that's made you think, actually, you've got a point?
16:07Yes.
16:08What?
16:08I was performing at a university when I was younger, and I had just started comedy.
16:13And I remember I looked out to the audience, and this woman was sitting in the front row,
16:17and I said, oh, are you okay?
16:19You're not really laughing.
16:19And she just said, I just think you can do better.
16:22And here I am, 20 years later on a Saturday night, with a snake around my neck.
16:30Who's laughing now, sweetheart?
16:32This is, oh, he twitched.
16:33He actually twitched.
16:34Oh, God.
16:36What if I told you right now, you had a bat in the cave.
16:40There's a booger.
16:40What are you going to do?
16:41Oh, God.
16:42This is the least of my problems.
16:44You should see what's in my pants.
16:47He isn't a brown snake, but I have one on my person at this point in time.
16:50He's actually, um...
16:52Oh, I don't.
16:53Carry on.
16:54Keep asking you.
16:54Yes.
16:5520.
16:55You climbed Mount to Kilimanjaro with the great Tommy Little.
16:59Next time, do you think you'll do it with someone more sympathetic
17:02when you break down and cry for your mummy?
17:05This is a story up there.
17:06Tommy's a really lovely guy, to be honest.
17:07And I had, um, my circulation's quite bad.
17:11And my hands weren't really working.
17:13And I had to whizzle-wazzle at one stage going up the mountain.
17:15And I couldn't button my pants back up.
17:17And so Tommy, bless him, did my pants up.
17:19Oh, it was the Daily Mail paparazzi at that exact moment where...
17:25Well, like I said, it was very cold.
17:26So he was Tommy Little by name, I was Little by nature.
17:29Oh, this is making my immemorium.
17:32I was once at the Logies with Denise Streiseld during the immemorium
17:35and it ended and she goes, oh, good, I'm not dead.
17:38Anyway, you didn't die.
17:40Well done.
17:40You've survived and you can go out and make more money for your children.
17:44Well done.
17:44Johnny, thank you, mate.
17:46Oh.
17:47Oh, that was you, Ebony.
17:49Oh, I didn't know what he was doing.
17:51Oh, God.
17:52Oh.
17:52Next up, we are taking a closer look at something a lot of us
17:56do overlook, our eyesight.
17:58We all like to think that we'd notice if something was wrong with our eyes,
18:03but it turns out plenty of conditions are sneaking up on us very quietly.
18:08Our medical expert, Dr Michael, has been out talking to the public
18:12about the warning signs that we all tend to miss.
18:15Let's take a look.
18:16Most of us take our sight for granted until something goes wrong.
18:20So today, I'm hitting the streets with these simulation glasses
18:23to show everyday Australians what it's like to live with a chronic eye condition
18:27and why you should get your eyes checked before it's too late.
18:35We're going to give you these glasses, try them on,
18:38and then tell me what you can see.
18:40Absolutely nothing.
18:41Have a look at me.
18:44Can you see me?
18:45It's just blurred.
18:47Oh, yeah, that's quite difficult.
18:49Wow.
18:50Yeah.
18:50That's not true.
18:51No, you don't want to get to that stage.
18:52No.
18:54I'm visiting an expert to find out more about eye conditions.
18:58So, Joe, these glasses have been blowing everybody's mind out in the street there.
19:02I think it's important that we talk through all of these different conditions
19:05and let people at home understand what's going on.
19:08So, these glasses replicate diabetic retinopathy.
19:10So, when these small blood vessels in the retina becomes leaky
19:14and it makes your vision really patchy and blurred.
19:17There's certain bits of my vision that I can see
19:20and then there's other bits where I just can't see anything.
19:22Yep.
19:22So, that one's diabetic retinopathy.
19:25What does it look like?
19:25Maybe the floaties that I get in my eyes sometimes.
19:28I'm seeing white spots everywhere.
19:30I can see you, sort of.
19:32Often, in the early stages, there are no symptoms,
19:36which is why I would say to patients with diabetes
19:39to get their eyes checked on a yearly basis.
19:42Makes sense.
19:43You want to try another one?
19:44So, that one's called glaucoma.
19:47Yeah.
19:49Oh, golly.
19:50Glaucoma often creeps up with no symptoms at all.
19:54So, when you start to notice it, often the damage is really done.
19:57It affects your peripheral vision,
19:59which is why wearing these glasses look like you're looking through a tunnel.
20:05God, it's just my centre side, not the proof rules.
20:08How much harder is that than normal?
20:11Well, 150% harder.
20:14Try these ones on.
20:15This one's pretty scary.
20:16Oh, wow.
20:17Yes.
20:18I cannot see right in the middle of my vision.
20:21Yeah.
20:21Can you read anything there?
20:23No.
20:23Do you have to move your eyes around to try and see it?
20:25Yeah.
20:25Can you see me?
20:26Only if I move that way.
20:28How many fingers am I holding up?
20:30There I can see two.
20:31There I can see none.
20:31Your macula is your central vision and macular degeneration affects that part of your vision.
20:37So, it means doing simple things like reading, driving, or just seeing detail is really difficult.
20:45It's one of the leading causes of vision loss as we age.
20:48I see a faint outline of you, but that's all.
20:51What eye condition do you think that might be?
20:53I don't know.
20:54I'm assuming it's nothing not good.
20:56How many fingers am I holding up?
20:57Um, no, no.
20:58No.
20:59I wouldn't be able to tell you.
21:00That's actually cataracts.
21:01Wow.
21:02Wow.
21:03Can you see anything?
21:04No, I can see your hand moving, but you could be anybody.
21:08Cataracts is basically when the natural lens in the eye becomes foggy.
21:12Kind of like looking through a dirty or foggy window.
21:15Often it can creep up really gradually.
21:18Yeah, that's scary.
21:19I did have a cataract removed, but it definitely wasn't as bad as this.
21:23Do you think you'd be able to live your normal life or drive or do your day-to-day stuff without a chance?
21:28Absolutely not.
21:29I just would not be able to function if I had vision like that.
21:33So, Joe, from what you're saying, these don't go from zero to a hundred overnight.
21:38This is a process that happens over time.
21:39The scariest part is some of these conditions don't even have any warning signs.
21:43So, even if your vision feels fine, you should still book in to get eye examinations on a regular basis.
21:50It's not rocket science, is it?
21:52Exactly.
21:53Early prevention and detection makes all the difference.
21:57Actually, Ash, can you quickly look up how often we're supposed to be getting our eyes checked?
22:06Oh, surely it's similar to bedsheets, like once a year.
22:10That's disgusting.
22:11Still to come, our DIY diademo, Amy Stanton, is rolling up her sleeves and giving a tired old womb.
22:20Oh, no, it's not about my reproductive system.
22:22A tired old womb.
22:24A proper refresh for a family that really deserves it.
22:28We'll see you then.
22:29Welcome back to Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
22:47Now, if you love a good before and after, you are going to love this.
22:53Sitting with me is Amy Stanton.
22:56Amy, welcome.
22:58Now, we did just meet a snake that eats a rabbit once a week.
23:03Have you eaten a goat or is there something?
23:08Just a few too many beers.
23:10No, I'm expecting a baby in, yeah, not long now, a few weeks.
23:14Well, we'd better get cracking on this segment.
23:17Okay, we have set you a mission.
23:20Tell us about that.
23:21Well, we're doing something called Room Rescue and basically we put a call out to families
23:26that have a room, a space that needs a bit of TLC.
23:30It might be not functional, old, outdated, and then we go in, give it a cheeky little
23:37makeover.
23:38And I tell you what, Chrissie, this first family couldn't be any more deserving.
23:41I was so stoked to help them out with it.
23:43Let's take a look at your first Room Rescue.
23:47Casey and Cam met five years ago.
23:50After the heartbreak of losing their son at 25 weeks, they now cherish the family of four
23:55they always dreamt of.
23:57I'm a mum of a toddler with another one on the way.
23:59I know how hard it is for a house to feel unfinished.
24:03Did the kitchen, started this room, that's where it stopped.
24:09We had this little surprise down here.
24:11Who come along?
24:12So time and money just went elsewhere.
24:14We have had the walls plastered for about six months.
24:17We have had a blanket as a curtain for about six months.
24:21Also, this room needs to be rescued.
24:25It got plastered when I was 38 weeks pregnant, and it wasn't ideal, but we needed to get
24:31it to a livable state before a newborn.
24:34Yeah.
24:35And from one kid to two kids, no one tells you how hard it is.
24:39It's a completely different spectrum.
24:40Everything in that space was put on the back burner.
24:42We had bigger priorities, bigger issues to worry about.
24:47Okay, Casey's house.
24:49This is a classic episode of have a small family, then you have all these big plans to get things
24:57done, and they just don't happen.
24:59Wall's half done, floor's half done.
25:03They've emptied out the space.
25:04It's actually a little bit bigger than I thought.
25:07We're at the gateway of the beautiful Yarra Valley here, so I really want to bring those
25:11outside colours in.
25:13Your soft greens, your sages, your terracottas, and just make it a space where you just sit
25:19down with your family, and it's chill, and you walk in here, and you're like, ah, I love
25:24my life.
25:25First things first is painting.
25:28The walls have been plastered and ready for months.
25:31Time to get the job done.
25:33A warm white will allow me to bring in pops of colour through the furniture and homewares
25:37and complement some much-needed new flooring.
25:42All right, Rowan, the floors.
25:44What are your first thoughts on them?
25:46So, it is going to take a lot more work than we first thought.
25:50A bit of grinding to do, a bit of levelling to do to make it flat, but we'll get there.
25:56All right, let's get into it.
25:58The last thing I want is for Casey and Cam to walk around on bumpy, creaky floors, so
26:03good prep is essential.
26:06Taking the time to prep properly means the finish will look amazing and last for years.
26:11Laying over hardwood floors can be a touchy subject for some, but the hardwood floors have
26:23seen way better days, and moving forward with maintenance, keeping them clean, they're the
26:29way to go, and they're going to look amazing.
26:31As much as I'd love to stick around and help, a girl's got to shop.
26:35All right, Casey's house, number one thing, you need a comfortable couch.
26:40We're tossing up between leather and fabric.
26:44Leather's great because you can wipe it down, but you can't go past, especially in Melbourne,
26:50the warmth and comfort.
26:52On a fabric couch, like this, this might be a winner.
26:56Look at this.
26:58It's beautiful.
26:58I really want to bring in kind of curved edges, just soften up the space, and it's
27:04kid-friendly because there isn't so much pointiness going on.
27:08And this buffet looks like the perfect showstopper.
27:13Look how much storage there is to chuck all your kids' toys in there, and it's a beautiful
27:19piece.
27:19Matches the floors so well.
27:32Beautiful.
27:33We're on.
27:34She's going to be tight.
27:39That was close.
27:40This nearly had to be an entryway couch, but we got it in.
27:43I want it about five centimetres off the wall because it's quite a small space.
27:47And actually, if you leave it about five centimetres off, it creates a shadow line and makes it
27:52look bigger.
27:54Magic.
27:55Now, always love to go a bit oversized with the rug.
27:59And the trick is, don't have it there.
28:04Always chuck it just under the first leg.
28:07Makes the space look bigger.
28:11I need a nap after that.
28:17Just bringing in those natural terracottas and greens and soft browns.
28:28Yep.
28:29Perfect.
28:31These dining chairs, even the tactical curve on them to match the curve on the buffet.
28:38Curve on the dining table.
28:40Curve on the table and then we mixed it up with a bit of sharp edges on the occasional
28:44chair.
28:48Love your work, Chris.
28:49They look amazing.
28:51Just softens the whole space.
28:54This room is just...
28:57I'm pumped.
28:59All right, guys.
29:00No peeking.
29:01Remember what it looked like before?
29:03We had the iconic blanket up on the window, floors, there was stuff everywhere.
29:11On the count of three, open your eyes, all right?
29:14One, two, three.
29:19Oh, my God.
29:24Oh, my God.
29:26It is amazing.
29:30Yeah, it is.
29:33You guys deserve it.
29:35You deserve it.
29:35I know you're going to make me cry.
29:37Look at those planes.
29:39We've got these beautiful shears up.
29:41Look at that.
29:42I don't want to say more of you.
29:43New flooring.
29:44So much easier to maintain.
29:46Yeah, the floors are unbelievable.
29:48Paint job.
29:49Everything is so bright and lively.
29:51Beautiful new furniture.
29:53Wow.
29:54I'm so grateful.
29:56I've never had something so nice in my life.
30:01I am literally shook.
30:03It would be nice to come home to me.
30:05Oh, it is heavenly.
30:07Yeah.
30:08We would have never had a look this good.
30:11We are forever grateful and cannot thank you enough.
30:14You both deserve it so much.
30:16So many memories are going to be created in here.
30:18It's amazing.
30:18Amazing.
30:21And just like that, new floor, new furniture,
30:25and a whole new vibe.
30:27You make it look so easy.
30:29Make it look easy is the key word there, Chrissy.
30:32At home, it's pretty hectic.
30:33I've got a toddler, another baby on the way,
30:36and my toolkit always gets lost,
30:38or it's full of Legos, something like that.
30:41I relate to that so much.
30:42My kids seem to think that yogurts for wall art.
30:45Yeah, but, Ash, the best form of DIY,
30:48if you can do something and your kids can't break it,
30:51you know you've built it well.
30:53Like, you've smashed it.
30:54Yes.
30:54Interior design by Chaos Goblins.
30:58Please stick around.
31:00Linda is just around the corner with her brand new look.
31:04See you soon.
31:04Welcome back to Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
31:17Now, earlier, we met an incredible woman
31:20from just outside Bendigo.
31:22Firefighter, a mum,
31:24someone who's always putting others first.
31:26Now, with Chika's help,
31:28she's going to have a full wardrobe revamp,
31:30clothes that push her confidence through the roof,
31:32and now it's time for the big reveal.
31:38Hello, lovely ladies.
31:39Hello, lovely to see you.
31:42So good to see you.
31:44Are we ready to go shopping?
31:45Sure I am.
31:46Let's do it.
31:48We're going to meet Donna.
31:49Donna, this is Ashley and Linda.
31:51Welcome to Blue Illusion.
31:53Black.
31:54Black.
31:54More black.
31:55So our beautiful Linda only wears black.
31:58Yes.
31:58And we're going to take her away from black.
32:01There's some nice black here.
32:02Yeah, for you though.
32:03Well, I'm wearing black today, so I, you know.
32:06Not allowed to have black.
32:08Black and white.
32:09Black and white.
32:10But I thought the Bendigo jean was a perfect place to start
32:12because there's so many varieties of colours and shapes,
32:15and I think you'll love these jeans
32:16because they're easy to pull on.
32:18They look great on your body type.
32:19And they're stretchy.
32:20And they're stretchy.
32:21Even running them.
32:22Yeah.
32:22And sleeping them.
32:23Oh, the cardigan.
32:31Not something I would ever pick off the rack,
32:33but I'm happy to give it a crack.
32:34You're going to try it.
32:38In you go.
32:40Oh, hang on.
32:41I've got to figure out how to undo it.
32:42Come on.
32:45I really like that.
32:46This is a great piece too.
32:47Yeah.
32:47You know, it's got the nice arms.
32:49Love, love, love.
32:50What about a wide leg pant like this?
32:52I love the way they fall.
32:53Yeah, they're beautiful, aren't they?
32:54Yeah.
32:55That's just not my colour.
32:56I like it.
32:57Oh, of course you do.
32:58It's the colour on her eyes, isn't it?
33:00I really like the detail on the cuffs.
33:03Yeah.
33:05This is not going so well.
33:09These pants.
33:10Oh, yes, I like those.
33:12You could wear it with a little white T-shirt
33:13and a jacket over the top.
33:15See, I think that they're way more versatile.
33:17It's a good colour.
33:18Do you like the pants?
33:19I love the pants.
33:20Yeah.
33:20This looks great.
33:22That is a strong look for you.
33:23Yeah.
33:24That's a lovely jacket.
33:25Look at you go, Linda.
33:26I love it.
33:27You're going to go,
33:28no, Chica.
33:30But let's just try it because we can.
33:32No, Chica.
33:35This one?
33:35Stop it.
33:37This is beautiful.
33:39What do you think of the sneakers?
33:40Nice, I love it.
33:41Yeah.
33:41And you don't have to undo the shoelaces to get them on.
33:44These are nice too.
33:45These have got a bit of a wide leg on them.
33:47It's all about the pockets on the hips at the moment.
33:49Yep.
33:50Ooh.
33:51I like this one.
33:52You can have the front tucked in and have the back out.
33:55Makes your legs look longer.
33:56I think you need more colour underneath that jacket.
33:59Oh, that's a lot of green.
34:01That's a lot of green.
34:01They look really good.
34:02Ashley, are you excited to see your mum?
34:20Yes, very.
34:21I'm going to expect a little tear, you know.
34:22A little reaction.
34:23No?
34:23No.
34:24I'm going to pinch you.
34:26Still won't work.
34:26Don't challenge me.
34:27How are you going in there, Linda?
34:33Have you checked yourself out?
34:34I have.
34:35Do you look hot?
34:36I didn't even think that was possible.
34:39Okay, Linda, we're ready.
34:40Oh, look at you.
34:48That looks awesome.
34:50Doesn't she look good?
34:51Oh, my God.
34:53Look at this body hiding under those tracksuits.
34:56Yay!
34:58Well, you know I said to you no black.
34:59Yeah.
35:00But what I have done, knowing that you are a black wearer,
35:02is showing you that you can wear a bit of colour with black.
35:05It doesn't have to be all black.
35:07But it's black enough that I'm comfortable.
35:09Good.
35:10And what about the hair?
35:11I'm loving the curl being more exaggerated.
35:13Nigel's got a superpower.
35:15Yeah.
35:15Your face looks just stunning.
35:17You look so beautiful.
35:18I'm very proud of you because I know this is a big deal
35:21and you look amazing.
35:23It's just a joy to see you looking so wonderful.
35:26Amazing.
35:27I'm really stoked with it.
35:28Well, I think our job here is done.
35:30I'm absolutely thrilled.
35:31Feels great.
35:32Whee!
35:34Yes!
35:35Yes!
35:35Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:36Ah!
35:37Ah!
35:37Ah!
35:38Ah!
35:38Ah!
35:38Ah!
35:39You look so beautiful.
35:51I had a fantastic time.
35:53Thank you both so much for coming.
35:55And for joy.
35:57Um, it's locked.
36:04Bye!
36:05Bye!
36:05Bye!
36:06Well, that was unbelievable.
36:09I know.
36:11She just looks so confident and now she's got all those extra options that aren't black.
36:16Yes.
36:16She's not just a firefighter.
36:19She's now a whole smoke show.
36:20Yep.
36:20She...
36:21Yes.
36:22No, it absolutely is amazing and, you know, confidence doesn't have to be loud.
36:27It can sometimes just be, but it's good if it is, sometimes!
36:30All right, well done.
36:31I know it's early days, but that could be my favourite segment.
36:37After the break, we are going to be joining Vincent Dim Sim Lim.
36:42Oh, my God, I'm so hungry, I'm salivating just at the thought.
36:45We'll see you soon.
36:54Welcome back to Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
36:56Okay, it is time now for No Dumb Questions.
36:59It's the safe place to ask what you actually want to know.
37:03Expect honest answers and a little hairspray.
37:06Let's go.
37:07My name is Patrick Stone, I am a barber, and there are No Dumb Questions.
37:17Let's start.
37:18Ellie Kay asks, what's the weirdest request you have ever had in your chair?
37:24Well, someone came in and asked a scarlet, which is shaved everything here, and then here
37:30you have the malek going down.
37:32People ask really weird questions, but I like it, actually.
37:35It, you know, keeps life spicy.
37:38Jesse W wonders, is it really bad to shampoo every day?
37:43Shampoo can damage your hair.
37:46The most important point is just this.
37:48Invest in good shampoo and conditioner.
37:51There are better qualities, so the thing is, you don't have to do like this, just a little
37:55bit, unless it's more.
37:56And if I say that, I mean it, because normally, unless it's never more.
38:00Lily F asks, what's the best way to tell your barber you don't like the haircut they have?
38:05Given you.
38:06Be brutally honest.
38:08No one has the right to be angry at you, but the worst thing is, if you never gave me
38:13the chance to fix my mistake, or just restyle something which you didn't like, and it goes
38:19out, and you tell people you were not happy with me, because that would break my heart.
38:23Wow, I get emotional.
38:26Vivian L asks, how do you deal with someone's hair when it's really gross?
38:31If someone has really gross or greasy hair, I'm a little bit of a weird, kinky person,
38:36so I like it.
38:38No, just kidding.
38:39If it's extra gross, you're just going to shampoo it three more times, you know, that's
38:44not a big deal.
38:45Alex T asks, what's the most common mistake people make with their hair at home?
38:52Well, it's not COVID isolation times anymore, so don't use the trimmer or scissors on your
38:57own hair.
38:58I have made many people who have always made the same mistakes, and then come and ask us
39:03for help.
39:04And the problem is, if it's too short, darling, we can't go any shorter.
39:09I mean, you wouldn't operate on yourself, you're not a surgeon, isn't it?
39:13So, the professionals are here to help you.
39:18What's up, guys?
39:18My name is Vincent.
39:19I'm the food expert.
39:20Don't want to fly 14 hours to eat American burgers?
39:23Well, you don't have to.
39:24I'm going to show you guys the best way to make down-and-out burgers.
39:28Let's get into it.
39:30Very first step is to preheat this hot plate.
39:33At home, you can use a pan, flat top, barbecue outside, whatever you like.
39:36We're using a wok burner today.
39:38Let that heat up, and we're going to make the sauce.
39:41Mayonnaise in the bowl.
39:44Relish.
39:46Tomato sauce and mustard.
39:49A little bit of white vinegar.
39:50Paprika, for the color.
39:56A little bit of salt and pepper.
39:59And that's it.
39:59Super easy sauce.
40:01The sauce is like an American-style burger.
40:05Okay, now the hot plate is hot.
40:07I'm just going to turn down that heat.
40:09Add a splash of oil.
40:11Onions.
40:13On the hot plate.
40:14The natural sugars from the onion is going to caramelize it slowly.
40:20We're going to turn it all the way down.
40:21It's just going to take a couple of minutes on the pan.
40:24We're just going to get these onions nice and brown.
40:26Even color.
40:28If you find your onions are drying out before they go brown, you can add a little bit of water.
40:33Just a little splash.
40:34Just to keep it hydrated again.
40:37There we go.
40:39Boom.
40:40Done.
40:40Now we're going to be doing the burger patties.
40:43We just have some ground beef here.
40:45What I'm going to add first is onion powder and garlic powder.
40:50Now we add a little bit of Dijon mustard.
40:53A tiny bit of oil.
40:55This is going to help it keep moist.
40:58Secret ingredient.
40:59This is meat velvet.
41:01What this does is it's going to tenderize the burger.
41:03It's going to keep everything juicy on the inside.
41:05And the outside is going to get a nice crust on there.
41:08Now we're going to add yum yum.
41:09This is a little bit of MSG.
41:12It's going to bring out that natural flavor.
41:14So you can taste the original flavor of the burger so much more.
41:17And salt and pepper.
41:20Now everything's in there.
41:21We're going to give it all a mix.
41:23And get all the flavoring mixed in.
41:26One giant meatball first.
41:28And then we're going to split it to 80 gram balls.
41:33A little bit of oil to our hot plate.
41:36Just to stop it from sticking.
41:39Beef ball.
41:41Onto the plate.
41:43This is a patty smasher.
41:44This is going to be able to press everything on there.
41:46So it gets the maximum contact onto that hot plate.
41:50But this thing sticks.
41:52So what you want to do is use a piece of parchment paper and press it on there.
41:56Then it makes it nice and easy to pull it off.
41:59There you go.
42:00No stick and no mess.
42:02Perfect smash burgers.
42:04Anything that's on a hot plate.
42:07If you can't hear that sizzle, then the fire's not hot enough.
42:09You've got to turn it off a little bit.
42:12And we're going to put the burger buns on.
42:16Now once the cheese is melted, burger buns should be nice and soft.
42:19And we're ready to plate up.
42:27I'm drooling just looking at this.
42:30Alright guys, I'm so excited.
42:32Look at these.
42:34American style down and out burgers.
42:37Made right here in Australia.
42:40That looks so good.
42:42I'm Dim Simlim and I'll catch you guys next time.
42:45Mmm, perfect.
42:47And on that very delicious note, that is it.
42:49The very first episode of Healthy, Wealthy and Wise 2.0 is in the bag.
42:54And you didn't ruin it.
42:56I'm shocked I didn't cry.
42:57It's amazing.
42:58I am in absolute shock.
42:59And TBH, I thought during that makeover segment, there was going to be a tear or two.
43:03Oh, it was touch and go.
43:04I know.
43:05Me too.
43:05I am a crier.
43:06I did the pageant.
43:08Yeah.
43:09It's been a bit of everything, hasn't it?
43:10Informative, surprising and genuinely fun hanging with you, Ash.
43:14I never thought I'd say that.
43:15Such kind of word.
43:16You sound like my mum.
43:19Next week.
43:20I have lost my confidence.
43:23A makeover so extraordinary, you just won't believe it.
43:27Oh my gosh, you look magnificent.
43:31And the shocking things that people are pouring into their eyes, thanks to social media.
43:37That is incredibly dangerous.
43:39Until then, relax.
43:42You've done enough for one day.
