1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fitzi and Whipper podcast.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: Last night, mass continued well, Melinda married Layton, and Melinda

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: had her guard up for a majority of the night.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 2: Layton was trying he was trying to be the perfect gentleman.

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: But for Melinda, she was seeing straight through it.

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 3: It is eternal when someone is trying to, like, please you,

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 3: I just don't trust it.

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 4: He was trying to be a gentleman, but she joins us.

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 4: Now me, Linda, welcome to the show.

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 5: Hello, thank you for having me.

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm me Linda.

12
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: Now Melnda, we need to kick this off. What I

13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: want to do first of all, was ask how are

14
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: you going? Because last night, obviously with the edit at

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: your wedding, you're probably getting a fair bit of backlash.

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 4: Are you all right at the moment? Is everything okay?

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 5: Yeah? Everything's good.

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 4: You know.

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 5: I mean I looked back to that day and you know, know,

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 5: I just remember how it was feeling, everything that was

21
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 5: going on all the you know, the whole day. It

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 5: was a big day. What was shown last night, I guess, yeah,

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 5: there's reasons behind it and how it's feeling, and obviously

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 5: it's a lot to like kind of wake up to

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 5: everything going on now. But I mean I think I

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 5: think potentially i'll yeah, redeem myself.

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, well let's hope.

28
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: So because and your beautiful mum was there watching as well,

29
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: your best friends, they were your bride'smaids. Did you sit

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: down with everyone last night? Were you unhappy with the

31
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: way that you were portrayed last night?

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 5: So we hired out a cinema to watch it in

33
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 5: full malth style.

34
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, there we go.

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, and everyone was quite shocked. Yes, so, but then

36
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 6: then they did find the you know, like sarcastics and

37
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 6: the humor that I have, Like people know me, you know,

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 6: whereas a lot of these your I guess I'm going

39
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 6: to take some time for them to get to know

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 6: me and appreciate kind of my sarcasm that at first

41
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 6: it feels a bit brutal and kind of looks a

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 6: bit like whole Yes, I'll grow one people.

43
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 7: Okay, Melinda, I think you're overthinking it. I'd just back

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 7: in everything you've done. I'd be happy with it and

45
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 7: roll on to the next one and laugh at the

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 7: people that have made negative comments.

47
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

48
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, But the thing is, though, this is the thing,

49
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: like people and Melinda, let's don't read.

50
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: The comments by the way, Well, yeah.

51
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: Don't to do that too late, too late, don't do that.

52
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 4: I know you've got to be careful with that stuff.

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 4: But can I can I ask you?

54
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: I mean, this was said after you walk down the

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: aisle you first saw Layton for the first time. They

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: then they then cut to this scrap, So have a

57
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: listened to this first impressions?

58
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: He may be punching just a little. I was swipe

59
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: blacked and the half on a bad day.

60
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: So was that put in a different context when you

61
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: recorded that pit or did you actually say that just

62
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: after your look down the aisle.

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 5: Look, I mean you just told me to own everything,

64
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: so I'm going to own it all.

65
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

66
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: So, I mean I feel like when you hear those

67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 5: things come out of someone's mouth, it's kind of it's

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 5: a protective guard, you know, it's like servers. I'm freaking out.

69
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: I need to just cover this with star cousins of people.

70
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 5: Don't see me freaking out right now. It's the front,

71
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 5: so yeah, it's just a little front. And so you

72
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 5: know the walls are so high, like Layton has a

73
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: lot of climbing to do. But I think he climbs

74
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 5: pretty well.

75
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is the other thing I need to

76
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: ask you, because I mean, you you know, I'm.

77
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Just trying to work out what do you mean.

78
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 8: National walls are very high, her.

79
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 7: Walls are up, so for him to crack through to

80
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 7: you emotionally, he's got a whole lot of work to do.

81
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

82
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I can admit that I do think like

83
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: at first, any guy that meets me, it's a little difficult,

84
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: which is why I have been single for so long now,

85
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 5: because I do from like that. You know, I can't

86
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: I don't know, I can't help it. And to be honest,

87
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: when Layton turned around in the first meeting of him,

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 5: as the first few things that was said, the body language,

89
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 5: all of that, instantly, I just went straight back into

90
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 5: a previous relationship and was like, oh my gosh, it's.

91
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: Got guard up. Yes, what you said before. Though. This

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: is interesting because whenever we get a.

93
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: Contestant on early on in the show, Melinda, they're really

94
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: worried about what's coming up. But you seem quite confident

95
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: that you and I mean tonight on the promo in

96
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: the first dinner party. By the sound of it, you

97
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: have a crack at Harrison, So you stick are you

98
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: sticking up.

99
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: For the girls there and Bronti and you're going in.

100
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: So you're pretty confident for the rest of the show

101
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: that you're going to be perceived pretty well by that

102
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: the public.

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 5: I would think so, yes, because I've been myself from

104
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 5: the beginning to end and you're going to see that

105
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 5: not changed. And even though my trust issues and you know,

106
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 5: walls and everything are so heavy in the first episode,

107
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: they carry on, but you start to see, you know,

108
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 5: a blessing and decided to see it's a good thing.

109
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 5: And it helps me, you know, call out a few

110
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 5: people that need to be called out, and it helps

111
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 5: me get to the bottom of and not be so

112
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 5: quick to just accept everyone. My model is kind of

113
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 5: like silky until proven innocent.

114
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: Okay, well go for innocence. I reckon, We're not that bad.

115
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: You know.

116
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 7: The other thing is too you can it can say

117
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 7: a lot about somebody the way you connect with them

118
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 7: when you actually kiss them passionately.

119
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: So is Late a good kiss series?

120
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: Did you feel that you didn't want to kiss?

121
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 7: Did you feel that, yeah, but you would have known

122
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 7: by now what's he like as a kiss?

123
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: Or did that build the energy and the love.

124
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: I just honestly thought, like, you know, I'm going to

125
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 5: meet myself and I'm going to know instantly and everything

126
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 5: is just going to be like fireworks. And obviously it

127
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 5: didn't go that way. And then when the kids came,

128
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 5: like the first kids, he actually missed my lips. He

129
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 5: got the corner of my kind of ye him, you

130
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 5: see me wife it yeah, when we go in, when

131
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 5: we go in for the photo shoot, and it's like,

132
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 5: you know, that's low mozo. Yeah, I mean my eyes

133
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: are open because I'm just like so awkward. I just yeah,

134
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 5: I got to get out of this.

135
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: I just to understand, you want to take your time.

136
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: You're struggling to go in for a kiss on the

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: first day. Melissa, whose wedding was last night as well,

138
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: Melissa's forty one years of age.

139
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: She was nervous about it.

140
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: No, but no, she wasn't nervous at all. Very nice.

141
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 4: This is what Melissa. This is what Melissa had to

142
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: say if they had job.

143
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 5: Look, I think he looks like the boy next door,

144
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 5: but I think it could be a freak in the

145
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 5: sheets too.

146
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,560

Speaker 4: Night, didn't he and said that they didn't do anything

149
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,280

Speaker 8: we didn't sleep together. She was giving excessive detail, and

152
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,039
