Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the Mass Funny podcast with
Speaker 1: me Joshua Fox aka I'm behind mass Funny. In tonight's
Speaker 1: episode of Married at First Sight, we welcomed back Elliott
Speaker 1: and Lauren into the experiment, and we also met their
Speaker 1: new matches for Veronica and Clint, and well, some things
Speaker 1: in Clint's story are just not adding up to me.
Speaker 1: So I've done a very big deep dive. I've spoken
Speaker 1: to a few people, and I'm about to present to
Speaker 1: you the confusing backstory of Clint the Golfer. Before I
Speaker 1: get to that, though, tonight we also heard expert John
Speaker 1: say quite possibly the stupidest thing he's ever said on
Speaker 1: this show as he was chatting about Elliot's return with
Speaker 1: the other two experts listen to this, So okay.
Speaker 2: Elliott, challenge accepted. We have found an amazing woman who's
Speaker 2: equally as compatible as Lauren was with.
Speaker 1: Him, equally as compatible. My what are you on? They
Speaker 1: were not compatible in the slightest. That's why he bounced
Speaker 1: Affter two days and that's why you now sat there
Speaker 1: remax him with somebody else. This is literally Elliott telling
Speaker 1: me during our whole a few weeks ago on this podcast,
Speaker 1: how not compatible with Lauren he was.
Speaker 2: That was really like one of the key things is
Speaker 2: like someone family oriented, and that was where we didn't aligne.
Speaker 2: Lauren was kind of like, oh, I would maybe have
Speaker 2: one kid, but yeah, maybe not. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it'll fit into my lifestyle, Like I like to travel,
Speaker 2: I like to do all this, yep, and kind of
Speaker 2: like made it like it would you know, it was
Speaker 2: not even going to be on the cards. Like that
Speaker 2: to me like an irreconcilable difference, Like that's something that
Speaker 2: you're not going to get past.
Speaker 1: The fucking these experts. They just chat some shit. Also,
Speaker 1: did anyone notice to Clare frank and grabbing editing fail
Speaker 1: and Elliott's backstory the audio of him actually just take
Speaker 1: a listen to this.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be alone, and so I'm open
Speaker 2: to learning about things.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be alone, and so I'm open
Speaker 1: to learning about Like how many sentences did they stitch
Speaker 1: together for that sentence? He absolutely did not say. Anyway,
Speaker 1: over to Clinton the golfer now and bear with me
Speaker 1: here while I cook on this, because I've gone full
Speaker 1: investigative reporter today and I have a whole case to
Speaker 1: present here and then a theory at the end. Zero
Speaker 1: point one order in the court. Now, during Clint's wedding
Speaker 1: reception to Lauren, when as tobias past relationships, he said this,
Speaker 1: if you don't mind me asking, like, when was your
Speaker 1: last partner? Lie? Okay, yeah, yeah, that was a ten
Speaker 1: year relationship. Notice how Clint specifically said that his ten
Speaker 1: year relationship ended around a year ago. Now, his wedding
Speaker 1: to Lauren was filmed on August thirty f twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: so that'd mean his breakup from his ex was approximately
Speaker 1: August twenty twenty three. Right, Well, that's just not true.
Speaker 1: And this is where everything gets a bit confusing. So
Speaker 1: I've built like this whole timeline which takes me too
Speaker 1: point two order in the court. You know that big
Speaker 1: mansion he showed off in his backstory, the one he
Speaker 1: said this about humboly wealthy, definitely ambitious.
Speaker 2: I've worked hard for what I've got, But as much
Speaker 2: as I've got last car, I got two perfect fur babies.
Speaker 1: You know, he got a big house that's it's pretty empty.
Speaker 1: He actually moved into that pretty empty mansion in December
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three with his ex. They spent a year
Speaker 1: designing the property together. They spent a year overseeing the
Speaker 1: bill together, and then they moved in together on December
Speaker 1: twenty third, twenty twenty three, two days before Christmas, and
Speaker 1: they then hosted a big Christmas with heaps of friends there,
Speaker 1: Like I've seen pictures of this, which is weird when
Speaker 1: you think about how at his math's wedding in August
Speaker 1: twenty four, he's then suggesting to people that he broke
Speaker 1: up with his ex in August twenty three. The building
Speaker 1: company that Clinton his X used to build that big
Speaker 1: mansion documented the whole process from starts of finish on
Speaker 1: their socials and all of the posts are like still there.
Speaker 1: So these dates are mentioning of when the builders finished
Speaker 1: and when they moved in, Like they are facts. You
Speaker 1: can't dispute them. And you know what else, you can't
Speaker 1: dispute the testimonial that Clint and his X then left
Speaker 1: on the builder's website thanking them for building and I
Speaker 1: quote our dream home. It wasn't Clint just saying his
Speaker 1: dream home, and it wasn't just the X saying her
Speaker 1: dream home. It was them doing a joint testimonial as
Speaker 1: a couple talking about their dream home that they built
Speaker 1: together and moved into together just before Christmas twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: So now you're probably thinking, what are you getting to here, Josh,
Speaker 1: which takes me to point free order in the court.
Speaker 1: You may also recall in Clint's backstory him saying this,
Speaker 1: it's real struggle.
Speaker 2: It has forty three did actually find someone? I've definitely
Speaker 2: had thoughts that might never get married, I might never
Speaker 2: find someone that I truly have that connection with.
Speaker 1: Now listening to that, you think, well, well, fuck, this
Speaker 1: bloke's been single what for years? Like poor guy? So
Speaker 1: then I got even more curious trying to find out, well,
Speaker 1: when the fuck did he actually split up with his ex?
Speaker 1: And then the last picture I can find of them together,
Speaker 1: which a friend tagged them in on Facebook, was posted
Speaker 1: on May twenty seventh, two thousand and twenty four. That
Speaker 1: was posted three months before his math's wedding, on ninety
Speaker 1: five days to be exact. In the picture, they're just
Speaker 1: walking those two dogs that Clint mentioned during tonight's episode,
Speaker 1: and it was shared by a friend who did the
Speaker 1: walk with them and then tagged them in it. But
Speaker 1: like the confusing thing here is when he's in his backstory,
Speaker 1: making it sound like he's been single for years and
Speaker 1: he just can't find anyone. I'm now thinking, mate, when
Speaker 1: did you even get the chance to try, because that's
Speaker 1: not much turnaround between you and you ex plitting up
Speaker 1: and you then getting married on the telly To try
Speaker 1: and then get some clarification, I reached out to people
Speaker 1: that know Clint, and I've reached out to people that
Speaker 1: know he's ex and then it got even more confusing.
Speaker 1: Clint Side say he broke up his ex in January
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, a few weeks after they moved into
Speaker 1: that mansion together. They say that Clint said on the
Speaker 1: show they'd been broken up a year, as by the
Speaker 1: time it aired on TV, that technically be true because
Speaker 1: then it would have been a year. But then his
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend's side reckons that no, mate, they started having
Speaker 1: issues in January twenty twenty four, but they tried getting
Speaker 1: through that rough patch before eventually ending it all for
Speaker 1: good at the start of June twenty twenty four, which
Speaker 1: on my timeline puts out a few days after that
Speaker 1: dog walking picture was taken and tagged. Clint Side then
Speaker 1: say the dog walking picture doesn't mean anything. As they
Speaker 1: continued sharing the dogs after they're split, and would still
Speaker 1: walk them together occasionally. His exes side then say no,
Speaker 1: they were technically still together in that picture at the
Speaker 1: end of May twenty and twenty four, and then it
Speaker 1: just went back and forth and back and forth and
Speaker 1: fucked may. I thought, why am I even doing this?
Speaker 1: I don't care that much. But then someone from his
Speaker 1: exes side sent me a message that she'd like Jackie
Speaker 1: to her, so please enjoy this. Oh and spoiler alert.
Speaker 1: If you're confused why Jackie's being mentioned here, you must
Speaker 1: have missed my previous episode where I revealed how she's
Speaker 1: now in a relationship with Clint. She's moved in with him.
Speaker 1: He didn't last with Lauren, and there now a thing.
Speaker 1: But I won't get into that hair. But yeah, this
Speaker 1: is the message from the person on Clint's exit side
Speaker 1: that she wants Jackie to hear. Jackie, how does it
Speaker 1: feel known that the home you're in was carefully chosen
Speaker 1: by another woman? From the silver ware you use a
Speaker 1: dinner to the plates all picked out by someone else,
Speaker 1: How do you feel knowing that every towel and a
Speaker 1: piece of linen that you dry yourself with was chosen
Speaker 1: by another woman. Jackie is the bed you sleeping comfortable
Speaker 1: knowing that another woman once rested her head on that pillow,
Speaker 1: From the furniture to the glasses you sit whine from
Speaker 1: every night, even the bar where you enjoy cocktails, and
Speaker 1: the black toilet paper in the powder room, all of this,
Speaker 1: Jackie was chosen by another woman. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: That was kind of iconic ball or so fucking brutal. Also,
Speaker 1: how rich are these people firstly to have their own
Speaker 1: barroom in the house and then the specific black toilet
Speaker 1: paper in the powder room cant relate anyway? If you
Speaker 1: now thinking, well, what does any of that mean? And
Speaker 1: what the fuck was the point of this journey you've
Speaker 1: just taken us on. Firstly, since I wasted that much
Speaker 1: time deep diving and going through all of that, I
Speaker 1: thought you could waste some time listening to my investigation.
Speaker 1: And secondly, well, yeah, it doesn't technically mean anything, you know,
Speaker 1: regardless if they split in January twenty twenty four or
Speaker 1: June twenty twenty four are fucking I don't care. That's
Speaker 1: not important here, because my big takeaway and my theory
Speaker 1: after all of this is Clinton and Jackie will not last.
Speaker 1: And I say that because in the space of twelve months,
Speaker 1: he went from being in a ten year relationship to
Speaker 1: then marrying a stranger on TV after that relationship ended,
Speaker 1: to then swapping that stranger for another bride on the
Speaker 1: show you've seed filming. So I was Lauren. So then
Speaker 1: that bride you now with moving in with you as
Speaker 1: soon as you started filming that TV show. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I just reckon, at some point in the next few months,
Speaker 1: he's going to have like an epiphany and think, Fuck,
Speaker 1: I've got a heal I've got to be alone. I've
Speaker 1: got to take some time for myself. And I'm speaking
Speaker 1: from experience here when my own five year relationship ended
Speaker 1: and fuck we were married for real, not TV married,
Speaker 1: like it took me so long to mon that and
Speaker 1: heal from that and just recovered that I could not
Speaker 1: imagine bouncing into something so serious so soon, like old
Speaker 1: make Clint as. So there we go. I think I
Speaker 1: can't tell if this episode is funny or pointless, possibly
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. Thanks for listening. Goodbye,
