WEBVTT - The Truth About David And Alissa's Split...

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome back to the Maththony podcast. And after

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>a week or two of confusion and speculation about what

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>actually went down between Alyssa and David, which led to

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>their relationship becoming so toxic to the point they're now

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:19.959
<v Speaker 1>subtly taking swipes at each other in their various radio interviews,

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Well we now have our answer. And it turns out,

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>as I've been recently saying on here, they didn't abruptly

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>fall apart at this part of the experiment after two

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>months of living the dream. But it actually turns out

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>they were never actually that perfect after all. But again,

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>and like I've been saying, this show just decided to

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>not include any of their drama as it would take

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>away from how we felt about the mean girl's situation

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and the sympathy they wanted us to feel for a Lissa,

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>because it turns out, after all, the real reason they

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>ultimately didn't work seems to be because Alyssa just well,

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't actually that great of a person. And remember

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>this moment Alyssa and David's wedding when we kind of

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>saw a snippet of a personality that was a little

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 1>bit extra Wow, do I have to do it right now.

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you have to get on one knee. We'll see. No,

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to marry you until you get and

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>ask me to marry you late. I'm not marrying you

0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>until you get gale and proposed to me.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, it turns out, and this is going solely off

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the unseen footage they've shown on last night's episode of

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>After the Dinner Party on Stan that she was actually

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.559
<v Speaker 1>just like that all of the time. Take a listen

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:46.039
<v Speaker 1>to this little clippaer from the retreat when Alyssa decided

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that her room with David wasn't good enough, so she

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>decided to take that out on David.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just trying to fix the fucking idea and you're

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>just starting, not coming up with a solution.

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>You have.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Fuck you, I've fucking solved every fucking problem that.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Don't cancel me.

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Don't cancel me like that. That's disrespectful. Have a shower

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 2>and fucking come to bed.

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Don't talk to me like that.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Please have some respect.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Look at it. Do you want to see right light? Look,

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>there are no blinds. There is no blinds. I can't

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.839
<v Speaker 2>sleep in here, I can see outside.

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>And now take and listen to this little clip pair

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>of Alissa talking about how much better she is than David.

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 2>To David, I feel like, obviously, I am really ambitious,

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:52.440
<v Speaker 2>like I'm I never stop, and I feel like I've

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>traveled the world, you know. I've been able to see

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>the world, you know, over twenty countries. And I've built

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>my house, yes, and I've built you know, my brand,

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>my personal brand as well with amazing sponsorships. I've done

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>it all. I've got it all except for this part

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>of my life that's been missing. I know that you've

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 2>been working so hard, but it would be cool to

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>like see you do something with your earnings and your

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>hard work. It's just about taking those steps, and it's

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 2>just more reassuring for me knowing that you've got something

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.160
<v Speaker 2>to fall back on. I feel like you are ambitious,

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 2>and you've built your business obviously, and you're doing really

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 2>well in your business. I don't know about all the

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>back end stuff like you know, because I'm like just

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 2>getting to know you. But that's why I wanted to

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 2>bring that up with you. Are we both going to

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>be grinding? Are we both going to be able to

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 2>live this lavish lifestyle that I want to live and

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>that he wants to live. Are we're going to be

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 2>able to afford it? Because you know, it's important that

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>we can keep up with each other. Obviously, you know

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>he's still renting. He might drive a car that he

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 2>might own, But where are your assets? You know, I

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>need to know that you are financially stable and you

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 2>know you can look after a family.

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>And in recent weeks, as I've discussed on this podcast,

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>as all the various anonymous Sauce News articles have had

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>this questioning will which one of them will come out

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of this like as the villain in the relationship, it

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 1>now seems very clear that that is Alyssa, with even

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the After the Dinner Party hosts Brittany Hockley and Laura

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Burn making their opinions very clear on this situation. And

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 1>bear in mind Brita and Laura are two people whose

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 1>entire brand has been built on championing women.

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 3>Oh, David, I just feel like you have the patience

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 3>of a saint with this kind of thing happening all

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 3>the time behind the scenes.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>That was probably the worst. That was the worst.

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 3>I think that this might be a perfect example of

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 3>when Alissa says, you know, I want someone who he

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 3>stimulates me, or you don't stimulate me necessarily. What she

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 3>might actually be saying is that you're not rising to

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 3>the dry because she's throwing it at you and you've

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 3>stayed really calm. David. I think in the world of

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 3>the MANI sphere that we're in right now, you are

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 3>a wonderfully beautiful example of the way a man should be.

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Having now listened to all of that which was purposely

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>excluded from the main show in Channel nine, let's briefly

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 1>go back to this radio interview Alica did recently, who is.

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 2>Getting a bad edit?

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>And actually isn't that bad? Steve?

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:27.720
<v Speaker 3>Who's getting a good edit?

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 2>David?

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:32.239
<v Speaker 1>Is there anyone you wouldn't talk to if you bumped

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>into them? Had an a bit Alyssa suggesting weeks ago

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.479
<v Speaker 1>ONLVE Radio there that David was getting a good edit

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and suggesting that the real David was nothing like the

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>one on the show we'd been watching. Just seems bizarre

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>and almost like she was trying to plant this public

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>narrative so she could ultimately come out on top. And

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>let's also go back to that New Idea article I

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.599
<v Speaker 1>read on her last week with these source quotes, which

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>read Alyssa's incredibly anxious about what viewers might think of her.

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>She's scared that the narrative will make her look paranoid

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>or over emotional when there was actually a lot more

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>going on. Reality TV can be brutal. She just hopes

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>viewers understand that what they're seeing isn't the full picture.

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Now to me, at least, that actually reads that Alyssa

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 1>is potentially the source of that article and she's trying

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to plant this like seed in the public domain. That again,

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>David is the bad guy, even if we do see

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 1>unseen moments like that which possess that Nah, it's actually

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>her who should daddy?

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm my daddy, who's a slagquing, I'm a slagueen, I'm Melissa,

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm from Adelaide, and I'm a nurse and social media manager.

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, before I wrap this pot up, I do actually

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>have one final little point to share in all of this,

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and that's throughout this season, I've spoken a lot on

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>this podcast about story acts and how producers approach things

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>in a way where they kind of predetermine the start, middle,

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and end of any storyline they actually want, and they

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>will then exclude footage or manipulate footage of what may

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 1>actually happen so they can get that start, middle, and

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>end and the narrative they want to play out on screen,

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and throughout this season, it really appears. And as I've

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>been saying that the main story act up until this

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>point of the experiment they wanted was to make the

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>mean girls seem as bad as possible, and in order

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to make us feel even more discussed and hate towards them,

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>they had to make a Lista seem like an angel

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.160
<v Speaker 1>in comparison. Again, which is why I believe they purposely

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>chose to cut all of that unseen stuff just out

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>of the main Channel nine show, because that would take

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>away from this narrative and if we didn't have that

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>sympathy for a Lissa, we maybe wouldn't feel as strongly

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>when everybody tried to tear her down and ultimately and again,

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, this After the Dinner Party Stands show

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>this year has done more bad than good for the

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>overall Maths brand because bringing out unseen moments like this

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>now just proves what viewers have long suspected, and that's

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 1>how the version of the show that they edit and

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>show towards on Channel nine is actually fake, while proving

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>to us through this stand show this year how they

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>can so easily manipulate things in a way that does

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>skew reality to go with the fake version of reality

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>that they want us to believe.
