With millions of followers across social media, Luke and 'Sassy' Scott have made an online reputation for themselves, often going viral when Luke expertly pushes his brother's buttons.
In an unexpected twist, as they competed on The Amazing Race Australia, it became clear that the years of provoking Scott's sass had given the brothers a deep understanding of how the other worked, and became their secret weapon in the race.
"We always say people on social media only see one percent of who we are," Scott told 10. "Can I get really angry and pop off? Absolutely! That's part of who I am, and part of who everybody has seen... over 2 billion people have watched our videos over the past three years.
"I've spat at my brother, called him every single name under the sun and more in multiple languages, and people write, 'Oh my god, we love these guys, they're so relatable.' So there was a real sense of ease going in," Scott continued. "There's not much more negative that we thought people could see that they wouldn't like."
Having worked together to build their social channels, the duo had no idea just how well prepared they were for the collaboration required to get through the race.
"We didn't know if it was a strength or a weakness at the start," Luke said. "We knew each other's limits, and we had a different respect for the race where we didn't push to that level. But, we also knew that you had to communicate and you needed to let it out."
Scott also gets "hangry", so the pair admitted that they were constantly stealing food in the morning to make sure he had an emergency muesli bar or croissant on hand to quell any rising hanger.
"A lot of the other teams, you'd see they were very cautious and careful with how they were communicating, and they didn't want to upset their teammate," Luke continued. "They probably didn't know that threshold, that level of when you could really set someone off to be the worst version of themselves."
"Georgie Tunny said one day, 'Everyone's got Luke and Scott wrong,'" Scott added. "Everyone was seeing or hearing us talk to each other and swearing, but if you actually stop and listen, we're debriefing as we're moving forward. We're not holding on to shit as we go.
"That was our superpower. Leave nothing on the table, get it out and keep moving. Other teams were too scared to say something to their friend or partner that might upset them, whereas Luke and I would call it out as brothers and keep moving forward. We left it back at the other challenge."
Admitting that they're both quite competitive, Luke and Scott didn't come onto the series to make friends. "We went on this program for ourselves and to potentially try to win," Luke admitted. "What we were shocked by, the whole time, was the number of people that we connected with."
"Luke and I don't f**k around when it comes to relationships," Scott agreed, "we make sure that we put the time in to get to know people, to know whether they deserve to be in our world or not.
"Every single team, bar one, on The Amazing Race deserved to be in our world, and the fact that they let us into theirs is what said a lot. We looked up to most of these people our whole lives!"
"And these friendships lasted even after the competition," Luke added, "we're spending time with them still, and we didn't expect it."
With the finishing line in sight, the brothers seemed to have found their momentum, and in one of the most narrow footraces yet, they only just missed out on making it to the final three.
Despite their time in the race coming to an end, Luke and Scott were always competing for a good cause, the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
"The longer we were [in the race], the more we thought, oh my god, we could actually win some really good money for the charity," Scott said.
"Doing it for the charity, doing it for our kids, doing it for ourselves," Luke added. "We thought these frontrunners had it in the bag, but then you're racing alongside them and see they also struggle at times, they're not perfect.
"We had a chance if we just ran our race. The Amazing Race gods could be in our favour that day, and you just get through! All we had to do was beat one other team. Everyone had a chance that day."
Looking back at their time in the race, both Luke and Scott said they were extremely proud of themselves and each other.
"The sh*t we had to do was so unique. The Amazing Race gods are the weirdest f**king humans," Scott said, laughing. "To come up with the stuff and go, 'Let's make a person do this' is just wild.
"I think what we achieved together was incredible, and there's no one else I actually think I could do it with. I'd drive them insane, or they'd drive me insane."
"Knowing each other's strengths and leaning into them for once," Luke added. "I knew we'd get through challenges if I made Scott the best version of himself, knowing what his strengths are, and that was a bit exciting to see."
