<v Speaker 3>Thanks for having me, guys, But that's a pretty rough

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.279
<v Speaker 3>title out there. And his ex boyfriend what about like

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Love Island cosar block runner up? Yeah?

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean they're all eligible like titles for you,

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>But I mean you are my ex boyfriend. This is

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>mine and Matt's podcast, so I just have.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 3>To eat it. You have to eat it. I read

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 3>it for you, Josh, we will run with it.

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>How are you feeling, mate, coming off the block?

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm still like over the moon is still sort

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 3>of hitting home. So it's taken at least three or

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 3>four days to try to just process what happened, and

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, I don't think I will process it for

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 3>at least another week or two. But it's sort of

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 3>sombar that the whole thing's come to an end. Obviously

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 3>watching it back was very tough. Doing the block was

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 3>very tough. So it's kind of gone on for nine

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 3>or ten months now, so it's kind of like that

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 3>chapter's closing.

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So it's a bit bittersweet, you'd.

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Say it is. Yeah, even through the hard times, it's

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>something that you're consistently thinking of all the time, Like

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 3>it became my life. Yeah, So now that it's over,

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 3>it's sort of a good thing that I can kind

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>of not have to worry about, oh, what's going to

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 3>be shown next episode and have that on my mind.

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 3>But it's all I know for you know, a good

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 3>period of time.

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that chapter is closing. What's in it for

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the next chapter?

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 3>Next chapter? I don't think I want to do any

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 3>TV like.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Retiring from the retire.

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.239
<v Speaker 3>I think the public has had enough Luke and I've

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 3>had enough, especially Luke. You know, he's got a family

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 3>on the way. I don't think he really wants to

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 3>do TV again, and you know, we're sort of a

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 3>packaged deal. But yeah, I don't know. I would potentially

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 3>do something, but it would have to be really interesting,

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 3>like an SAS or some challenging like a survivor. But

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 3>besides that, you know, I'll call it a day, I mean,

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 3>and Luke would just focus on our business. Yeah.

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 1>Well you said that Luke has a kid on the way,

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>which is very exciting with him. Yeah, tell us about

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the moment when he first told you he was going to.

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Be a dad.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Obviously it caught myself by surprise and the fan I

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 3>was sort of picking up on it. I could see

0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 3>that his partner Olivia wasn't drinking any wine. Lave your

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 3>loves a glass of wine, so I was like, what's

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 3>going on there? Yeah, you know, there was some telltale signs,

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, it's still that shock moment, like, Wow, you're

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 3>about to have a baby. You're going to be a dad,

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:24.399
<v Speaker 3>Babby Luke. Yeah, the picture but it's very real and

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 3>it's got to be happening in March. So yeah, I

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 3>think you'll be a really good dad and you'll be

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 3>a good mum. Obviously they're engage and they were looking

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 3>to be married next year, but obviously that might have

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>to be delayed again. So first time COVID, second time baby,

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 3>hopefully there's no third time, and tied the Knight.

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Has this news made you think about having a kid now?

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm not really kind of just doing my own

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 3>thing for a while. Obviously I want to have kids

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 3>at some point in my life, but at twenty eight,

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 3>I still feel young. You know, I've got heaps and

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 3>mates that a dad's and you. I love that, like

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 3>once you have a kid, you love that last style.

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 3>But it's something that I feel I can do later

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 3>in life.

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>So I feel like you've got a lot of Josh

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>has got a lot of strong single single years, left

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of.

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>A lot of life to live.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 3>A lot of.

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want to travel, I said, a lot of

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 2>lives to live in.

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 3>You're so disgusting that I don't keep the numbers like you.

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 3>It's all good. Yeah, I think you know. I want

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 3>to travel. I want to go to Europe, have a

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.320
<v Speaker 3>good time, do thing overseas, and then you know, then

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 3>find a partner.

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I think it's funny because obviously you

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>and Luke are identical twins. Right, technically, this baby is

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be somewhat what your kid's going to look like.

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 3>Right, Well, yeah, it'll have fifty per cent my DNA,

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 3>so it's a little weird. I can't feel about my baby,

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 3>That's what I was thinking.

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like Olivia. This sounds like off, but

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.840
<v Speaker 1>like kind of like carrying your somewhat child.

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I don't want to picture that. I can't think

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 3>of it like that.

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 2>It got all that I didn't think it was going

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>for this podcast.

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, no, it will be obviously more hands on

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 3>with Luke's kid because we're twins, so we're prettingly close.

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 3>So it sort of will be a good good practice,

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.160
<v Speaker 3>I guess for when I'm ready in maybe ten years time,

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 3>maybe four or five years too old.

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, So on that talking about coming on this podcast,

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>have you listened to any of our podcast episodes? You

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>have any thoughts about what it's smoking about here? Yeah,

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 2>you want to clear the air, you tell your side

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>of any stories.

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously I listened to the first episode, and

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 3>then when Anna was going to be mentioning our breakup

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 3>and relationship, obviously I was going to have a little listening.

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 3>So I have listened some things obviously I agree with,

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 3>and then other things I was like, oh, hold on,

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 3>that's not the full story.

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 2>You have a platform now to tell the viewers.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.040
<v Speaker 1>You need to clear anything up.

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, in our relationship, it's very hard coming off

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 3>lovel and it's a perfect well sort of what Anna said,

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 3>But when you come off, then you're in the stressful

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 3>environment of normal life. And I think we found out

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 3>pretty quickly that we weren't meant for each other. And

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just because we have very different love

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 3>languages as well. I'm quality time. I thought animal's quality time,

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 3>but that's what you told me originally, but it turns

0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 3>out you're more like acts of affirmation and acts of

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 3>service and gifts.

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Gifts I reckon, No, I do, I reckon your acts

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 2>of service? Okay, definitely, because.

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely quality time, and what's the touch?

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:06.479
<v Speaker 3>Can't be all of them? Are?

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm covering.

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Someone that's going to provide all words of affirmation.

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely words of affirmation and physical chart. This isn't

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>this isn't a ganging up session. Hold on a second,

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a second. I used to like do really nice things

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.119
<v Speaker 1>for you. I'd like, bring you a coffee in the morning,

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'd buy your gifts and I wanted that return

0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>to Josh, and you.

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Were able.

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>We go.

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Making me coffee for one. You know, I don't even

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 3>drink coffee you brought me maybe maybe that's hold on,

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 3>hold on. You might have brought me in three or

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 3>four t's for me in bed during the relationship, because

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't even want that. Then you were sort of like,

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 3>I would really like you to make me a coffee.

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 3>I probably made you a coffee four or five times

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 3>a week, every morning. One percent, one hundred percent, Yes

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 3>I did. Look, it was so skewed. Can you say

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 3>that because that's your But that's what you want because

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 3>you wanted the acts of service. So then I would

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 3>always get out of bed and make you the coffee

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 3>in the morning. It wasn't like, here's your tea, Josh

0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 3>in bed. Look, do you want me to tack you

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 3>in for an extra hour?

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>It was it was not like that you're a bit

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.840
<v Speaker 1>ungrateful what I did for you.

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 3>At least two hundred coffee is compared to about five days.

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Look, I don't want to get into an arguer with

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>you about who make more teas coffee relation.

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying how I didn't bring it up.

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.319
<v Speaker 1>You talked about the fact that like you thought I

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>was like quality time, and you were saying.

0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 2>It, I genuinely think your access service. Yeah, from what

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 2>I know of you, I think your access service.

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely quality time and physical touch. I do like

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>acts of service, Yes, yeah, it's top one.

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 3>I think I think you gifts to you.

0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't because gifts.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 3>She just didn't anything. But that's the thing. No, no,

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 3>that's not true, because like if I'm in a relationship,

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 3>I will happily buy a gift on Valentine's Day, Birthday,

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Chris mess and the anniversary. That's four gifts a year.

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.480
<v Speaker 3>But you said, you know you're not buying me any gifts.

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Like outside of that, it was just like sometimes you mean,

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 3>like if we went shopping, you would be like, you know,

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 3>you don't buy me anything. So then I'll say, okay,

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 3>well I'll buy a pair of jeans for me, this

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 3>is soud in my relationship, I don't really want to

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 3>I have to buy gifts outside of those four time

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 3>period because I think four gifts a year is plenty.

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I'mosh, I really very gosh on this one because with you,

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm agreeing I don't like buying gifts.

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 3>It's completely fine for you to want that, but I

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 3>don't know, I don't want to buy the gift. If not,

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 3>it's going to become I feel obliged to do it.

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, look, I don't like buying gifts. I

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>find it really awkward to give a gift. Receiving gift

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 2>ye comfortable for me.

0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I think it was more so like in our relationship,

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I would say that occasionally I would go out and

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>bring you like surprises or like remember we went to

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know that, like Adidas that time, and

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I bought you something, and like I like to buy

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you like little things here and there, and I just

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 1>wanted you to maybe like buy me flowers occasionally or

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>write me a note, which is I guess more act

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>of service. And then so I think you think I'm

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>like wanting like tensional handbags. And just to clarify with everyone,

0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that's not making the car. Josh thinks I'm cutting out everything.

0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I think, like Matt, if someone is giving

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 3>us a gift, then we feel obliged to have to

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 3>return that favor. Yeah. And then if the partner's in

0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 3>on your case even more about it, then it becomes

0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 3>you know, something that that's weighing, you're down. I have

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 3>to get the gift. Now they're going to be.

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Pissed, Whereas like the mentality I need in a relationship

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.079
<v Speaker 1>with someone who's going to be like, oh, they did

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>something really thoughtful for me, I really want to do

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:17.079
<v Speaker 1>something thoughtful back, not not Oh now I'm obliged.

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 3>To be and that's fine, that's fine. But I think

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 3>for me personally, I would prefer and be more students,

0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 3>someone who's more in a sense just in involved in

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:34.199
<v Speaker 3>quality time, because that's me to a tapodges. You love

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 3>all five, you might all five.

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, it's okay to say it's fine. Wow, well

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 2>on that. Obviously, you guys for a bit there weren't

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 2>really on talking terms, quite angry at each other. Now

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 2>you guys clearly are on talking terms. Talk me through that,

0:11:54.920 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 2>talk us all through that. We get here. Yeah.

0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Obviously it started off rocky at the beginning of the breakup,

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.959
<v Speaker 3>just weren't talking at all. But time heals things and

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.560
<v Speaker 3>then you know, realized what it was. The relationship. It

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 3>was toxic, very toxic. Lots of fights. Sometimes my fault

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 3>sometimes and his.

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Fault park sometimes I fault.

0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Under, sometimes your faults. Do we want examples? Do we

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 3>want to? Do we want example?

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Continue?

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I think we should just.

0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 3>So, Yeah, but then you know there's no point fighting.

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 3>Obviously we went through something heart together, which is love Island.

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.719
<v Speaker 3>We've got that experience. It would be a shame if

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 3>we weren't friends and able to talk to one another.

0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 3>So I think we just both got over it, and

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, we're able to become friends, which is good.

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 2>To what extent now is your friendship? Do you guys

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.200
<v Speaker 2>seek advice from each other? Do you guys come to

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:51.439
<v Speaker 2>each other with relationship advice?

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:57.120
<v Speaker 3>No, not not close friends, close friends, but to the fact,

0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 3>like after the block, you know, and a call and

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.920
<v Speaker 3>say congratulations, I'm very happy for your sort of thing,

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:06.040
<v Speaker 3>and vice versa, or a happy birthday call, like just

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 3>something nice, nothing over the top, like hey, how's your

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 3>day going. It's not like that, but just nice keeping

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:12.959
<v Speaker 3>contact sort of thing.

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's good. It's healthy to have that sort of

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 2>relationship with your X. I think yeah.

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think as well, like Love Island, like as

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>you said, as you touched on, Josh, is such like

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>a unique experience, and I mean we're all bonded from it.

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 1>But like obviously we won the show together. It was like,

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we just kind of got like catapulted into

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 1>this like different world than when we left. And I think,

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:39.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's a bonding type of like experience, so

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it's nice to still remain friends.

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.559
<v Speaker 2>A lot of the listeners would have watched you on

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 2>the block obviously they all want to think the same thing.

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Is it as stressful and as hyped up as it

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 2>is on TV?

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's definitely very stressful. It's physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually draining.

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 3>You only see such a small fragment of what's going on.

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 3>You are basically project managing the hardest projects literally three months.

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 3>There's always ten trades, they're all different trades, and they're

0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 3>all trying to jump over one another to get things done.

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Then you're trying to get furniture. Then you're trying to paint,

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 3>and then there's issues arising all the time that you

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.680
<v Speaker 3>have to solve, so you only see such a small

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 3>percentage of what goes on. Yes, of course the show's

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 3>dramatized to an extent where you know they might show

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Luke and Me storming off, but they don't show the

0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 3>full context as to why, because there's such a big

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 3>story behind that blow up, right, which sometimes watching you

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 3>can be like, oh that's annoying, just show the whole thing,

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 3>but you need to remember it's TV. They need to

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 3>stick to their story and you just have to wear it.

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So watching it back, you really felt like you

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>got a bad edit.

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean there's a million one things I would

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 3>love to say, but I'm careful as much as you're done.

0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Then yeah, well obviously you guys know Luke, Luke and I. Well,

0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 3>I would probably say with the good, the bad, and

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 3>the ugly ugly Yeah maybe bro love Yeah, And I

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 3>think Luke and I were good for the majority of

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 3>the show. Like we always a lot a lot of fun.

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 3>We're always laughing. We had heaps of fun with Keith

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 3>and Dan were they told us their favorite this season

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.760
<v Speaker 3>all our trades we got on with really well. We

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 3>had great camaraderie, heaps of laughs, and at the end

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 3>of the show we were thinking, Wow, this is going

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 3>to be really good for us. There's going to be

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 3>heaps of laughs shown. And when we're watching it back,

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 3>we're like, oh jeez, they're really hypen up. All are

0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 3>bad and showing no good. So that was difficult, difficult

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 3>pill to swallow.

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, obviously with that came a lot of hate through

0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 2>social media. A lot of people, Yeah, I got slams.

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 2>How does one deal with that sort of stuff?

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 3>There's two ways you can deal with that. You can

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 3>either get really upset and pretty much fire back at

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 3>them and try to defend yourself. But there's no point

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 3>doing that because that's what they want. They don't know

0:15:57.920 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 3>you as a person.

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 2>You've got almost comp mentalized.

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 3>You do have to just pretend it doesn't exist. Don't

0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 3>go on to the block page, for instance, and read

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 3>all those negative comments. You need to think what sort

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 3>of person watches reality TV gets so upset and personally

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 3>attacked by something they are seeing, going, I'm gonna make

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.880
<v Speaker 3>sure everyone knows how I feel about them, the little

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.360
<v Speaker 3>spoiler brat. So you know, you just have to pretend

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 3>like you just have to see it for what it is.

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, happy people don't go on and talk shit

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 3>about people exactly.

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 2>People that are happy with their own lives aren't going

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 2>to go on to that platform.

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 3>And yet one hundred percent there's a good saying if

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 3>you have have a problem with me, that's fine, give

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 3>me a call. But if you don't have my number,

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 3>then you really don't have a reason to have a

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 3>problem with me.

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>That's ad.

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's true. I mean, there's so many keyboard wows

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 1>out there. They're always looking to start on someone, and

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I think if we gave each one of those people

0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:01.119
<v Speaker 1>our energy, we're doing ourself a disservice.

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, And it shows the strength of you

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 2>and Luke that you can handle that sort of stuff.

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Obviously the normal person can't take that much.

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, from from time to time I would buy

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:17.240
<v Speaker 3>it back. I can't help yourself. Like all that one

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 3>so wrong. I really just want to say something.

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.920
<v Speaker 2>But imagine Luke.

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Terrible if Josh has had a five Luke, yeah, loose.

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.399
<v Speaker 3>A bit more erratic than me. But at the end

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:33.960
<v Speaker 3>of the day, you know we got the last laugh.

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, exactly the result.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 3>On the weekend, and you know that's what we wanted.

0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 3>All those people sort of have to eat their words.

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 3>So many messages like this their house sucks, they're going

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 3>to make no money. Worse contestants ever, so walk away

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 3>with half a meal coming second. You know they can't

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 3>say anything really now besides be bitter. Yeah jealous.

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.520
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, exactly like you said you had the last laugh.

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 1>What you kind going to do with all that money?

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Because half a million dollars like that is life changing money.

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a lot of money, and it really hasn't

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 3>sunk in yet. But obviously Luke and I we want

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:14.120
<v Speaker 3>to start our business that will be importing artificial grass

0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:16.239
<v Speaker 3>and we'll have it as our own brand. If we

0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 3>can get it into a big store. I mean, this

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 3>is really pushing the boundaries. If we could get it

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:23.880
<v Speaker 3>into like a Mile to ten or a Bunnings, that'd

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:29.560
<v Speaker 3>be great, but chances are slim, so we'll try. We'll

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:32.720
<v Speaker 3>absolutely try with the block thing you get mighty ten.

0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 3>But that's what I'm concerned about. The edit, like, did

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 3>that really affects us to the point where they won't

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:43.919
<v Speaker 3>want to align with us? Stressed about but we've got

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 3>a really good product, so we want the product to

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 3>do the talking, and we have high hopes for it

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 3>to get in, but we we don't want to rely

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 3>on that because we think we can quite happily set

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.280
<v Speaker 3>up our own warehouse and distribute it to other installs

0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 3>like ourselves.

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the day, you guys got

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.119
<v Speaker 1>the last laugh, and I think it does turn the

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:07.040
<v Speaker 1>perception around when you've done the second best and you're

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>going up against the favorites of block contestants and you

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.439
<v Speaker 1>guys have somehow come out second, So that speaks for itself,

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 1>right exactly.

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, Running and Georgia, Mitch and Mark, they're

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 3>both professional renovators, so they know what they're doing. So

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.960
<v Speaker 3>that's why we had to be very confident on the show,

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 3>because you have to believe in yourself. If not, you know,

0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:31.400
<v Speaker 3>you're just not going to be able to go ahead

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 3>with your big ideas with any validation. So that's why

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:35.880
<v Speaker 3>we really stuck to our guns. You have to take

0:19:35.960 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 3>risks on the show one hundred percent if you want

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 3>a big prize, and we definitely took big risks. Obviously,

0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 3>Matt Matt was there, he saw how hard.

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 2>It was.

0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 3>It was being on site and I was a broken man.

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say that week ten and eleven,

0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 3>I was so tired and exhausted. I was half of

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:52.439
<v Speaker 3>who I was.

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I was going to say that before. I remember rocking

0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>up one morning and like I was talking to you

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:57.920
<v Speaker 2>and I was like looking at you and I was like, mate,

0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 2>you're like a shell of yourself.

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah not Josh, No, just like the lack of sleep,

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 3>the stress every day, that environment you're living on a

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.480
<v Speaker 3>job site three months, Yeah, it's tough.

0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:09.479
<v Speaker 2>The two in a bit weeks I spent there. I

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 2>was like getting snappy after Like it was exhausting people

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.439
<v Speaker 2>just running around you know what I mean, Yeah, wasting

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:15.159
<v Speaker 2>heaps of energy.

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 1>But I remember seeing you, man, you were very snappy.

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I was like, this guy needs like ten a good nass.

0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Nothing goes to plan, like they always trying to fuck

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>with you.

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:26.640
<v Speaker 3>There's always issues going on.

0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I thought with all the stuff that happened

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.160
<v Speaker 2>with us that they'd make a lot more thing on TV,

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:33.439
<v Speaker 2>a lot more, but they didn't put any of it on.

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 2>So I was thinking to myself, imagine the stuff that

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 2>they do to you that doesn't make TV.

0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.920
<v Speaker 3>So much doesn't make TV. Yeah, so many good moments

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.320
<v Speaker 3>which I wish they would have shown. Then it's kind

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.120
<v Speaker 3>of going in an opposite direction of where they would

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.120
<v Speaker 3>like to persuade an audience to feel about Luke and I,

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 3>which is fine. You have to accept that, but it's

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.439
<v Speaker 3>still very frustrating for us to sit there and watch that.

0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for sure. Okay, Josh, we're steering away from Love

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Island and the block we want to know. I know

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.879
<v Speaker 1>this is super weird coming from your ex girlfriend. Tell

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.200
<v Speaker 1>us about your love Jeez.

0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:14.080
<v Speaker 3>What wouldn't you like tonight? You do want to know?

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I want to, I want to know,

0:21:17.880 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 2>give me a private call.

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:22.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I mean I moved home for a little bit,

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.119
<v Speaker 3>so obviously it was quite slow during that time time frame.

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm out of home now. Obviously, during lockdown, it's not

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 3>much you can do. So, you know, I've recently only

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.320
<v Speaker 3>just been able to start seeing people. Nothing serious right now,

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 3>but I'm not I'm not afraid to get in something

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:44.120
<v Speaker 3>serious if it's the right person. But I'm quite happy

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 3>just doing my own thing, seeing people from time to time.

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 3>If it's right, we'll see if it can regress if not.

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm very independent. I'm more than happy to

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:55.760
<v Speaker 3>just do my own thing.

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 2>You know what they say, when you're not looking, that's

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 2>when you might stumble onto that's the right.

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is right right time. When you don't want

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.879
<v Speaker 3>to find someone there, they just appear.

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it does happen, Yeah it does, but happen to that.

0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 2>It does happen.

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I'm not getting any younger. I feel

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 3>young still, but the number twenty eight son Scheming probably

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 3>want kids in my early thirties, so I probably need

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 3>have been at a ship around the thirty yeah, to

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 3>have that. But that's you know, I don't stick to

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:30.480
<v Speaker 3>plans in my life. Yeah, I'll wait until I find

0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 3>the right person, not going to rush into it.

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, do you want to do Europe again?

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:36.400
<v Speaker 3>I'd love to do Europe. I might find her there

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 3>if I find the right girl before then. You know,

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.359
<v Speaker 3>I would really have to be the right person to

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.880
<v Speaker 3>want to change my plans that I've had in line

0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 3>for myself.

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I reckon you might like find like a nice

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:49.720
<v Speaker 1>English girl. You love the English act.

0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 3>I love American accents when I was in America. I

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:57.440
<v Speaker 3>love the sweet American girls. They're so nice. It's so

0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:01.960
<v Speaker 3>time and Americans of the English girls yea even like

0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 3>a good New Zealand accents really do. Yeah, they're really

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:09.159
<v Speaker 3>just chilled out and cool. So yeah, I think I

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 3>will probably be with someone with an accent.

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought that. And because the fiance is English, Yeah,

0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I can definitely see you with like an international woman.

0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I can too. Yeah, Yeah, I think

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 3>that's definitely probably something I would like. So I don't

0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:24.639
<v Speaker 3>know which one.

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, call out to the international to this podcast, I have.

0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 2>To say, find him at Packham Underscore Care. All right.

0:23:34.920 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 2>So this brings us to today's topic of settling in

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 2>a relationship. Let's jump in, okay, Anna, So what is

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 2>the definition of settling in a relationship.

0:23:46.000 --> 0:23:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Settling in a relationship means being ready to accept less

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.639
<v Speaker 1>than what you want or deserve. When you decide to

0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:55.639
<v Speaker 1>settle in a relationship, you choose to accept things that

0:23:55.720 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you deeply know don't sit right by you. The fear

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of losing the one you love is the main reason

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>why you could be settling.

0:24:03.359 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't mean just settling for somebody's looks. It can

0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:09.639
<v Speaker 2>also be settling as in for somebody that you wouldn't

0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:13.880
<v Speaker 2>normally go for within like their financial status, their personality,

0:24:14.000 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 2>like they might not even touch all your love languages.

0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:18.200
<v Speaker 2>You're just settling because you feel like at that time,

0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:19.640
<v Speaker 2>that's what you're accepting.

0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean for me personally, I've only settled like

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:29.359
<v Speaker 3>once in my life. No, no, or maybe towards the end.

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 3>But there was this weird time in my life where

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:36.800
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh, I probably want to get a girlfriend.

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 3>And the girl she was really nice, but she was

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 3>definitely not right for me. So the relationship only lasted

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 3>three or four months. It was just that period where

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I was feeling real needy and thinking I need to

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 3>be with someone. And I think when you are in

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 3>that vulnerable state of being needy and being dependent on someone,

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 3>that's when you're going to be most likely to settle.

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Direct them before after our relationship.

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.760
<v Speaker 2>This is before. Was there other things as well in

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:05.719
<v Speaker 2>your life? Like was Luke with Olivia or was there

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:07.239
<v Speaker 2>anything like that and you're like, oh, maybe I need

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:08.680
<v Speaker 2>to get a girlfriend. Was there anything?

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 3>I think Luke was. Was he with Olivia at that time?

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 3>He either was or had just finished being with Olivia? Yeah,

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:16.960
<v Speaker 3>I just hadn't had a girlfriend for maybe three years

0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:18.639
<v Speaker 3>and was thinking, oh, you know, it's probably time for

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 3>me to get a girlfriend. Yeah, and obviously a lot

0:25:21.040 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 3>of people are like, oh, you should probably get a girlfriend.

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 3>You've been single for a while, Josh, and then it

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 3>just led into a relationship and it was just completely

0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:29.200
<v Speaker 3>not right.

0:25:29.600 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's ten signs that you have settled in a relationships.

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 2>So the first one is you are comfortable putting up

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:36.680
<v Speaker 2>with deal breakers.

0:25:38.160 --> 0:25:42.400
<v Speaker 1>There's external timelines that are pressuring here, which I guess

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:44.040
<v Speaker 1>is kind of what you were talking about before.

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't want to have deep talks about their feelings,

0:25:47.160 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 2>their emotions, everything like that.

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>You're constantly scared of missing out. So there's a constant

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 1>fomo of like, oh, my friends are out and like

0:25:55.960 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not there.

0:25:56.880 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 3>And I think that one's very hard to always accept.

0:25:59.600 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Is that all like grass is greener On the other side,

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:03.680
<v Speaker 2>think yeah, that sort of vibe.

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:06.080
<v Speaker 1>But I guess if you're in that headspace, you just

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:08.920
<v Speaker 1>constantly feel that and there's nothing that you can really do,

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 1>so you just feel like.

0:26:11.960 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Then you get into it and you're like, oh, this

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work. You're trying to change them and be what

0:26:16.280 --> 0:26:17.560
<v Speaker 2>you actually want them to be.

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Like and not what they actually are. You have to

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:25.000
<v Speaker 1>put yourself on hold, so you're not putting yourself first,

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:27.440
<v Speaker 1>You're putting them first, and so then your needs aren't

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>getting met.

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Your enthusiasm for the relationship is declining. You fear loneliness,

0:26:34.359 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 2>you justify everything they do, all that sort of stuff.

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:42.280
<v Speaker 1>And then the last one is you're frequently comparing your relationship.

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:44.840
<v Speaker 2>To others after reading them out. And we know Josh

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 2>says he's settled. Have you settled in a relationship before?

0:26:49.880 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I've never settled in a relationship, But I'd say at

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the end of the relationships when I probably should have

0:26:55.680 --> 0:26:59.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe cut it short, I might have stayed longer than

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I should have. So I guess we could classify it

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:02.000
<v Speaker 1>as settling.

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 2>I think I settled.

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:07.600
<v Speaker 3>I think you're just an incredibly needy Matt.

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, that was it was more just like the

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 2>timing everything. I was just like, well, we're going to

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 2>this normal time of like lockdown, and that is the

0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 2>person I was seeing at the time. Yeah, this works,

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 2>and to go into a lockdown, he's scary, and I

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 2>was probably very deep.

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:26.880
<v Speaker 3>I needed somebody, very very dependent. If if your track

0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:29.159
<v Speaker 3>record talks for itself. Matt, you have jump from relationship

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 3>to relationship in the past a bit.

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Anim was going to cut up.

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 3>That's the.

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Massive breaks I've had. What I had for two days,

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I've had four days my most recent one. What I've

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:56.680
<v Speaker 2>been single now for nine months.

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's his long as.

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Four years, four years.

0:28:02.520 --> 0:28:05.359
<v Speaker 1>But I feel as you had your ex girlfriend who

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>was Yeah, definitely they fucked buddy at the time. She

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:11.880
<v Speaker 1>was so I guess like you were. She was meeting

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>all your emotional needs, but then you were still getting

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to be single.

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I was getting there, getting the best of both.

0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:20.920
<v Speaker 1>You're very lucky.

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:24.480
<v Speaker 2>For those four years I was.

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:28.439
<v Speaker 1>I was looking on cloud in reality here like they

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:31.400
<v Speaker 1>probably should make this official four years later.

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Four years later.

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 3>I think with settling, it can definitely come when you

0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:37.240
<v Speaker 3>have low self esteem as well. That's when you're going

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 3>to be the most vulnerable. You're probably willing to put

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 3>up with more to be with someone because you don't

0:28:42.920 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 3>think very highly of yourself. You know, I probably have

0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 3>been in that situation the past as well. And then

0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 3>you're just settling with someone. And I see it all

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:53.880
<v Speaker 3>the time, people are consistently with someone who they probably

0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 3>shouldn't be, but they're not willing to break up with

0:28:56.920 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 3>them because, yeah, of their low self esteem, but they think, oh,

0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:02.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, who's going to want to be with me.

0:29:03.360 --> 0:29:05.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I can find any better, And

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 3>they consistently try to look at the small positives in

0:29:07.560 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 3>the relationship instead of looking at all those negatives just

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 3>lining up.

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 1>The problem is is that when you're in a toxic relationship,

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.520
<v Speaker 1>which we were, and we both said we were good times,

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:18.520
<v Speaker 1>great times.

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:20.440
<v Speaker 2>We learn from those times.

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you learned. But what I wanted to say was,

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 1>when you're in a toxic relationship, your self esteem is

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:29.520
<v Speaker 1>actually at its lowest, So you're in a place where

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you're probably not happy. Your self esteem is low, so

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you're like, I need to get out of this, pawaway,

0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 1>take these steps, and I think that's like a really

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 1>like hard pill to swallow.

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I guess it could also be past traumas as well.

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 2>You've had your heart broken by someone and you think

0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:46.240
<v Speaker 2>your self esteems low and you think I don't deserve

0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 2>much better. I can tolerate this sort of stuff, or

0:29:49.720 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 2>your previous relationship, you're used to that sort of stuff,

0:29:53.360 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and you're used to feeling that way when you shouldn't.

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 2>You should lift yourself up and know that you deserve

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:00.200
<v Speaker 2>better and not to settle. Yeah. All right, So I

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 2>feel like in my last relationship with Kira, I settled.

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys feel like you settled? Hang on, I

0:30:05.320 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 2>want to touch on that. Actually, I think she would

0:30:06.880 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 2>say she settled for me, but I feel like I

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 2>settled for her.

0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Get it right, made from a lawyer.

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:20.640
<v Speaker 1>So do you reckon that both you and Kira in

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.880
<v Speaker 1>hindsight feel like you settled or at the time you

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 1>both knew you were settling the time. I want the

0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:29.040
<v Speaker 1>hindsight thing, is my question.

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I think hindsight. Yes, I don't think at the time

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you feel like you're settling. I think hindsight, and I

0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 2>feel like she'd say she settled for me more than

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I was younger, not in the same financial position of her,

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:42.120
<v Speaker 2>all that sort of stuff, whereas I feel like the opposite.

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 2>I was younger, I have my life ahead of me,

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>so I feel like maybe I was.

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I just got very woman here.

0:30:53.040 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, do you guys feel like you settled in your

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 2>relationship with each other? Yeah, I would say in the

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 2>back end, not at the start. Coming off the show

0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:03.080
<v Speaker 2>and all that other start of the show.

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Of course, there was warning signs, probably from both ends

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:09.360
<v Speaker 3>that it probably wasn't going to be long lasting, you know,

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:09.920
<v Speaker 3>not just.

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Coffe in she wanted she on to coffee in the morning.

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 2>So well that when you guys meet each other on

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Loveland Directing, you settled for each other and there was

0:31:18.600 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 2>no one else or no.

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:23.360
<v Speaker 3>I think we got on really well. Yeah, conversation was

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 3>very easy, especially in that sort of environment where it

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:28.520
<v Speaker 3>is pressure, there's a lot of cameras around, you don't

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 3>always feel yourself and it was quite easy to chat

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 3>to one another. We felt at ease, so you know,

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 3>that was fine, but we hadn't dealt with outside stresses.

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 3>You don't know what the other person is one hundred

0:31:39.560 --> 0:31:42.160
<v Speaker 3>percent like until you go out into the outside world

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 3>and say, oh, how are they going to feel in

0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 3>this position and in that situation, So then you see

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:51.240
<v Speaker 3>the full picture of the person, more of their maybe

0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:52.720
<v Speaker 3>negative attributes as well.

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, whereas like when we met on Love Island, it

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 1>was like a holiday who were like having a holiday romance.

0:31:57.360 --> 0:31:59.920
<v Speaker 1>And then not long after, I mean then we were

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 1>going Melbourne to Sydney, so we weren't really like settling

0:32:03.680 --> 0:32:06.080
<v Speaker 1>back to real life. And then we went to Bali

0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>together on holiday, so we were like living in this

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:09.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of like unrealistic bubble.

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 3>Would you say, Yeah, it was an unrealistic bubble. And

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 3>I think, well, when we got into the relationship, I

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 3>don't know if I was one hundred percent ready for

0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:22.520
<v Speaker 3>a relationship at that moment in time. Yeah, And maybe

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Anna could sense that, and instead of sort of discussing it,

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 3>I think Anna then flew up, blew up and tried

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 3>to control the narrative a little bit and be, you know,

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 3>a little bit worried that I might leave the relationship

0:32:36.400 --> 0:32:39.640
<v Speaker 3>and then became controlling as a result of my feelings,

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 3>and then that just became incredibly toxic.

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Was it evident to you that he didn't.

0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Feel like I just knew, like obviously Luke was single

0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:51.880
<v Speaker 1>when he came out of Love Island, and I could

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:54.560
<v Speaker 1>sense that, like obviously they're twins, and like all of

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the other boys pretty much were single. You were single,

0:32:56.880 --> 0:32:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and you guys were all going to like what was.

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 3>It like in the club tours?

0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:03.720
<v Speaker 2>And Josh was like a lot of fun. I wanted

0:33:03.760 --> 0:33:04.400
<v Speaker 2>to go in the club.

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:08.960
<v Speaker 3>I was happy to go in a relationship, hanging out

0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:11.400
<v Speaker 3>with the guys I was. I was more than happy

0:33:11.440 --> 0:33:13.840
<v Speaker 3>to do it, hang out, have the full experience of

0:33:13.920 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 3>the show. It's once in a lifetime thing. And you

0:33:16.680 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 3>shut that down, You're like, you're not gone. And then

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 3>I felt and I could have gone as well. I

0:33:21.880 --> 0:33:23.320
<v Speaker 3>said to and I said, you know, you can come.

0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 3>You can be in that hotel. I would chill the

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 3>boys in the club and then come back the thing.

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:35.640
<v Speaker 3>She could come to the club as well. You weren't

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 3>asked to go.

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it was more like Josh went into Love Island.

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Josh went into Love Island, and I think you probably

0:33:44.880 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>thought I'm probably going to come out single. Really I've

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 1>been single for a long time. Like we're going to

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 1>have this really fun like experience after and all the

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 1>boys will do club tours and there'll be heaps of

0:33:55.800 --> 0:33:58.040
<v Speaker 1>girls around us and it'll be fun. And I came

0:33:58.080 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>out and I was like, I'm in a relationship, got

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 1>my new boyfriend going and a couple's holiday.

0:34:04.200 --> 0:34:07.200
<v Speaker 3>And you're watching us looking at you guys having a

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 3>great time being paid to do it as well, and

0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 3>financially I had just left my job, go on Love Island.

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:18.239
<v Speaker 3>So I was unemployed, so that sort of cash from

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 3>that was going to be very important to me as well.

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean he did just wour just won, of course,

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 3>but you know, twenty five k sometimes can go very

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:29.839
<v Speaker 3>very quickly and go in the blink of an eye.

0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 3>When you have money, it just goes. So it is

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:34.879
<v Speaker 3>important to try to get money when the iron's hot. Yeah,

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:36.840
<v Speaker 3>and so I definitely still want to cash in on that.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 3>And then well, and I didn't give me off. It

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 3>was like a strict no. It wasn't like a you

0:34:43.080 --> 0:34:44.320
<v Speaker 3>can go, I know.

0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:46.560
<v Speaker 1>It was like I would be really upset if you will.

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 3>It was and it was as strict you're not going.

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:52.120
<v Speaker 3>There is no chance you're going.

0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:54.759
<v Speaker 1>There's so much Joshua II.

0:34:57.560 --> 0:34:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Something I'm like, no, No, it was definitely a strong no.

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Josh you said to me that our trip to Bali,

0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you're so glad that you went on it, and we

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:04.799
<v Speaker 1>had some fun.

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 3>I said to me, I had done both what.

0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:13.680
<v Speaker 1>You said to me that. You were like, I'm so

0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:15.640
<v Speaker 1>glad that I came on this trip. We've had so

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:16.359
<v Speaker 1>much fun.

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 3>I had a great time. I mean, but like I said,

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 3>I could have done by behindsight change the fact I

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 3>could have done both.

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you think and maybe you should have let him go,

0:35:25.680 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 2>like he could have got some money from that, he

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:28.840
<v Speaker 2>would have been that resentment.

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:32.160
<v Speaker 3>I just didn't feel any trust. There was like straight

0:35:32.239 --> 0:35:33.560
<v Speaker 3>off of love on and I was like, I just

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:35.319
<v Speaker 3>want to hang out with the guys, think about your.

0:35:37.160 --> 0:35:37.680
<v Speaker 2>But I'm.

0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's watching us. You think I'm going to go and

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:42.800
<v Speaker 3>do the wrong thing. Why would I have been in

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:44.719
<v Speaker 3>a relationship. It just made me if I want to

0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 3>if I'm going to go do the wrong thing, It

0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 3>just made.

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Me feel uncomfortable that like and like this is an

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 1>insecurity of mine and it's a trigger for me. But

0:35:52.680 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 1>like when women are literally throwing themselves at your boyfriend, throwing, throwing,

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>like and that was out there, say like it's throwing.

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Like I was just talking about in the clubs, those parties.

0:36:04.680 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, those parties, they're throwing themselves and like, no disrespect

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to any of those girls, Like they can do what

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 1>they want. But as your new girlfriend, who at the

0:36:13.160 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 1>time was very much in love, like that to me

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:20.440
<v Speaker 1>was just like no, not doing it, not going to engage.

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:22.640
<v Speaker 1>And I wanted Josh to be like I want to

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>do a couple of stuff as well.

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:26.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure Josh. The only thing stiff about joshuada been

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:29.080
<v Speaker 2>his arm stiff arming the girls away from him.

0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I had understand there was going to be nothing

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:35.080
<v Speaker 3>to worry about. I mean, I had just got into

0:36:35.120 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 3>a relationship. The last thing I'm looking to do is

0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:40.920
<v Speaker 3>look be with another girl, Josha. I just wanted to

0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 3>really go and experience a whole fun from after Love

0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Island as well get paid as well. But I wasn't

0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:51.279
<v Speaker 3>really giving that option. I felt in a relationship, you

0:36:51.400 --> 0:36:54.320
<v Speaker 3>have to provide trust to a partner, I know. So

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:58.160
<v Speaker 3>you think from the start there was there was signs

0:36:58.239 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 3>that there was going to be insecurity and you know

0:37:01.840 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 3>that I would have to accept what Anna would like

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 3>me to do compared to what I would like to do.

0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:11.759
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, as you touched on earlier, there was

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:14.280
<v Speaker 1>definitely a part of you that still wanted to be single.

0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I think you were happy in our relationship, but

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I could sense it from a mile away, and it's

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:22.440
<v Speaker 1>just made me like, Yeah, that woman's intuition that we

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:25.680
<v Speaker 1>always talk about listen to your gut, ladies, Yeah, I

0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:28.480
<v Speaker 1>could sense it, and I just knew, like I knew

0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:30.320
<v Speaker 1>that he was jealous of Loop being at the clubs,

0:37:30.320 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 1>and then I like, from that moment, I was like, well,

0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:35.319
<v Speaker 1>this guy, like we're in a good relationship at the moment,

0:37:35.360 --> 0:37:37.839
<v Speaker 1>but he wants to be single, and instead of giving

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.399
<v Speaker 1>him space and like I'm going to group on even tired, yea,

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:41.880
<v Speaker 1>he could.

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Have gone there and then realized that it's not what

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:44.440
<v Speaker 2>it's all hyped up to be.

0:37:44.920 --> 0:37:46.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean probably not, Matt. You talk about it like

0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it's the best day of your life. Women were throwing themselves.

0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:55.359
<v Speaker 3>At look at the potential. I think, one hundred percent

0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:58.960
<v Speaker 3>that's going to happen. Therefore, I'm not going to even

0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:01.480
<v Speaker 3>allow the possibility of that occurring because it's happened in

0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:03.439
<v Speaker 3>my head. Therefore it's one hundred percent going to occur.

0:38:03.680 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think, and I think this is what we're

0:38:05.239 --> 0:38:08.520
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Like our mentalities were just different, very different.

0:38:08.680 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Like I was like ready to like settle down, Like

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, you know, I'm twenty nine now. I just

0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:16.000
<v Speaker 1>like was in a space where I was like, I've

0:38:16.000 --> 0:38:18.360
<v Speaker 1>been single enough. You were in a space where you

0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:20.640
<v Speaker 1>were like I could probably use some more single time,

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean said he said, He said he said you

0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:26.200
<v Speaker 1>need ten more years before, So I mean I knew,

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:29.880
<v Speaker 1>but no, like I feel like eight.

0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:31.879
<v Speaker 3>To nine, I definitely could have used more single time.

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:34.040
<v Speaker 3>I was happy in the relationship, but it had to

0:38:34.160 --> 0:38:37.040
<v Speaker 3>be really right for me to want to stay in

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:40.600
<v Speaker 3>that relationship. When I saw early warning signs so forth,

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:44.360
<v Speaker 3>it sort of just made me miss being single in

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 3>that moment of time even more.

0:38:46.200 --> 0:38:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, I understand that. Okay, guys, if you feel

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:56.040
<v Speaker 1>like you're settling in your relationship, here are some steps

0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to start taking control of your life.

0:38:58.800 --> 0:38:59.160
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Don't be afraid to try new things.

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Challenge the norms, learn to say no, be more disciplined,

0:39:06.360 --> 0:39:09.200
<v Speaker 1>especially about quality time for yourself.

0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Prepare for the worst.

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Stop hanging out with people whose company isn't enjoyable for you.

0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Think of everything as a choice.

0:39:17.560 --> 0:39:19.759
<v Speaker 1>And raise those standards.

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you have any advice Josh for the listeners.

0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you feel like you're climbing a mountain in

0:39:27.960 --> 0:39:31.239
<v Speaker 3>a relationship, it's probably time to get out. If you're

0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:35.520
<v Speaker 3>consistently calling people discussing the issues in the relationship, you're

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:37.880
<v Speaker 3>probably not right. The one science are there. You have

0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:41.080
<v Speaker 3>to look at why you're staying in the relationship. Are

0:39:41.120 --> 0:39:43.719
<v Speaker 3>you afraid of what's on the other side? Yeah? Are

0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:46.440
<v Speaker 3>you consistently just trying to find the small positives that

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:50.160
<v Speaker 3>are left? There's probably time to reconsider the relationship. Sit

0:39:50.200 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 3>down with a person, discuss it, be opening communication. If

0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:58.239
<v Speaker 3>they can't accept what you're saying, it's one hundred percent

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:00.920
<v Speaker 3>time ago. If they say, I can understand where you're

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:03.800
<v Speaker 3>coming from, let's maybe work on those points, then potentially

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:06.160
<v Speaker 3>give it a you know, a crack moving forward. But

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 3>if it doesn't work after that, not right, let's move on.

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like you said, some people are scared of what's

0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:14.400
<v Speaker 2>on the other side. I know for myself, I was

0:40:14.520 --> 0:40:17.760
<v Speaker 2>scared of even the break up like that was scared.

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:21.120
<v Speaker 2>I used to have to deal with it. Calls almost

0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:21.799
<v Speaker 2>every second day.

0:40:23.920 --> 0:40:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Jo Josh used to be on the phone to mad

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:28.960
<v Speaker 1>and then Josh would be like, okay, my my cup

0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:30.480
<v Speaker 1>is empty, and you pass the phone on today and

0:40:30.480 --> 0:40:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I have back again, my turn to take that.

0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:36.600
<v Speaker 2>You take this one, take this right. It was fucking doors,

0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:37.600
<v Speaker 2>It was that good.

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.399
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, look, I think communication is the key

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:45.720
<v Speaker 1>to making sure your relationships are good, validating your partner's

0:40:45.800 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>feelings and if you're not feeling validated, then maybe you

0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:50.440
<v Speaker 1>are settling and it's time.

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:50.680
<v Speaker 2>To move on.

0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Josh, thank you so much for coming in. It's been

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:57.920
<v Speaker 1>a pleasure. I'm so sorry about the coffee. Hopefully that

0:40:58.120 --> 0:40:59.480
<v Speaker 1>hasn't scart your life.

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully your next relationship. They don't want you to make pictures.

0:41:03.680 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 2>God knows what's going to happen there.

0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:07.400
<v Speaker 3>It'll be one day how to deal with that.

0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:11.680
