They were seen Monday at Nova’s Sydney headquarters to record their podcast.
26-year-old Al, who recently quit his job as a carpenter to become a full-time influencer, couldn’t wipe the smile from his face when he woke up to a takeaway coffee.
The Bondi larrikin dressed casually in brown shorts and a white T-shirt, which he paired with brown boat shoes with white laces.
Taku, one of the stars of last year’s Love Island season, showed his muscles in a black shirt, which he paired with jeans, a blue bucket hat and white sneakers.

The sighting comes after Love Island presenter Sophie Monk almost confirmed that Al will be appearing in the upcoming season of the Channel Nine dating show.
While presenting Nine in 2023 earlier this month, she revealed that this year’s season will feature a host of hot contestants, including a familiar face.
“We have high-flying real estate agents, we have a football player, we have a model, a dancer and we have a famous groom,” she said.
Al, 26, who recently quit his job as a carpenter to become a full-time influencer, rocked out in brown shorts and a white T-shirt, which he paired with brown boat shoes.
Al was pictured with a group of bikini-clad babes at the Love Island villa in Mallorca in August.
Daily Mail Australia understands that he has received permission from both Channel Nine and Endemol Shine to appear on the show.
MAFS contestants would normally have to wait a year after their contracts expire to appear on another reality series.
