Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with
Speaker 1: Me Joshua Fox, and today, guys, we finally have the
Speaker 1: answer about why did Jack and Tory really split up?
Speaker 1: Earlier this year. Everyone has been asking, speculating, hoping for
Speaker 1: a big drama and something messy, and the real reason
Speaker 1: is actually just a little bit sad if I'm being honest,
Speaker 1: And it's also quite relatable to a lot of people
Speaker 1: who I know will have found themselves in a similar
Speaker 1: situation before but maybe struggled to find that courage to say, actually,
Speaker 1: this isn't working, like we need to end this relationship.
Speaker 1: Tory sat down to top things through with my friends
Speaker 1: and journalist Lachlan Gerton and Talia Pritchard, who I said
Speaker 1: in the previous episode of this podcast, I bring in
Speaker 1: their podcast Confessions of a Reality Start into the Maths
Speaker 1: Funny Feed and I kind of set them this first
Speaker 1: challenge of can they get to the bottom of you know,
Speaker 1: why did they split? Because everyone's asking, but no one knows.
Speaker 1: And yeah, instead of me rambling on, here is their
Speaker 1: full interview. Enjoy.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for coming on Confessions of a
Speaker 2: Reality Star.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I know it's been a pretty rough start to the
Speaker 2: year for you. So we just wanted to ask, how
Speaker 2: are you doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I'm actually going pretty well. I think that's
Speaker 3: like a shock to some people. But you know, I
Speaker 3: won't speak for Jack, but we are going pretty pretty good.
Speaker 3: We're not the start to the year that everyone thought
Speaker 3: we would have, but yeah, we were actually in a
Speaker 3: good place.
Speaker 4: Okay. I mean we're going to dive into that a
Speaker 4: little bit more because it's interesting. I think when couples
Speaker 4: break up and the couple says we're still friends, there's
Speaker 4: still a lot of love there and everyone's like, okay,
Speaker 4: but why did you break up then? And so I
Speaker 4: think everyone has a lot of questions. But if we
Speaker 4: talk about the fact that it's been a year since
Speaker 4: you were on Maths, the last time people saw you
Speaker 4: was obviously when you were with I just want to
Speaker 4: know how you think the toy that was on Maths
Speaker 4: compares to the toy now.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the toy that was on Maths, or
Speaker 3: the toy that was shown on Maths to the toy
Speaker 3: that actually existed at that time was already so different.
Speaker 3: But then the toy that was on Mass to the
Speaker 3: toy that I am today again is so different. I
Speaker 3: think I've gone through a lot of growth and a
Speaker 3: lot of self development since being on the show. I
Speaker 3: think you see life differently once you've been in that
Speaker 3: world and you're on camera and you're watching yourself back,
Speaker 3: and you're watching how you hold yourself in times of
Speaker 3: you know, spiciness, or and you're in the middle of
Speaker 3: an argument. Now, Lucky for me, most of my like
Speaker 3: offs at the dinner party weren't shown, but you know,
Speaker 3: I'm kind of glad that they weren't, because I think
Speaker 3: I can be a very reactive, aggressive person. So to
Speaker 3: learn the art of just kind of letting it be,
Speaker 3: you know, not responding to those comments or just ignoring
Speaker 3: or pretending like it's not happening, just being at peace
Speaker 3: within yourself and not caring what anyone else thinks. I
Speaker 3: think that's probably the biggest thing that I've learned since
Speaker 3: being on Maths, is just to not care what people think.
Speaker 3: Your existence is going to piss someone off at every point,
Speaker 3: and it's just being okay with that. And I think
Speaker 3: before Maths, I definitely didn't really care what people thought
Speaker 3: of me, but I did have that little bit of like,
Speaker 3: oh god, well, people think, and now I'm like, fuck it,
Speaker 3: it's going to piss someone off anyway, so I might
Speaker 3: just do it. It's going to make me happy, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a new type of like resilience. I imagine correct.
Speaker 2: It's probably coming in handy right now too, because I
Speaker 2: think the interesting thing for me was like, you guys
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of people championing your relationship when
Speaker 2: you ended the show, and then you've proved all the
Speaker 2: haters wrong and you have broken up now obviously, but
Speaker 2: people are really sad about it. Has that been kind
Speaker 2: of confusing for you?
Speaker 3: People are so affected by it, and it's it's not funny,
Speaker 3: but it's kind of like you're right, you know. We
Speaker 3: came off the show, and to be fair, when we
Speaker 3: got our social media back, we had nothing but love.
Speaker 3: You know. I think for myself, I was expecting the
Speaker 3: most vile messages, but we had nothing but an influx
Speaker 3: of love and support and it was so nice. And
Speaker 3: we never thought of like we needed to prove our
Speaker 3: relationship to anyone.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: We were two people that met on a TV show
Speaker 3: who could kind of feel that there was something there
Speaker 3: and we were just going to give it a shot,
Speaker 3: and we're going to give it the best shot that
Speaker 3: we could possibly give it. And when we did end things,
Speaker 3: you know, we had ended it for just on a
Speaker 3: month before we had announced it. So when we did
Speaker 3: announce it, I think people thought that we'd woke up
Speaker 3: that morning and were like, you know what, let's break up,
Speaker 3: let's announce it to the world, and let's do it
Speaker 3: right now. They're like, no, like, is there any way
Speaker 3: you guys can fix it? Like what's going on? Like
Speaker 3: surely not like and it's like, oh god, guys like
Speaker 3: bless and it's beautiful, but simmer down.
Speaker 2: It must be really strange though, because you know, when
Speaker 2: you do break up with someone in usual life and
Speaker 2: you don't have this kind of following of people, You
Speaker 2: tell your friends and your family and then you're pretty
Speaker 2: much done and dusted. But now you've got hundreds and
Speaker 2: thousands of people kind of demanding to know why you
Speaker 2: guys broke up. Do you have anything you kind of
Speaker 2: want to say? Just to a general blanket statement.
Speaker 3: People, I think we're expecting this really juicy tea. Someone
Speaker 3: did something really nasty to the other person, and it's
Speaker 3: just vile and it's just not the case. Effectively, Jack
Speaker 3: and I just never got to that point of falling
Speaker 3: deeply in love with one another. We have a lot
Speaker 3: of love for one another, and we are the very
Speaker 3: best of friends, but it never eventuated into anything that
Speaker 3: would have us spend the rest of our lives together.
Speaker 3: So nothing, nothing happened, no one, you know, did anyone dirty.
Speaker 3: We're just two people that are essentially the best of friends.
Speaker 2: And is that And I imagine you have to have
Speaker 2: a lot of conversations too to get to that point
Speaker 2: and get to that understanding. So it's kind of funny
Speaker 2: how you touched on earlier, Like it's like you just
Speaker 2: woke up one morning and you're like, let's just announce
Speaker 2: to everyone that it's over and we haven't tried it whatever.
Speaker 3: Correct, Like, there's a lot of conversation, there's a lot
Speaker 3: of you know, putting in the hard work. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of I guess, getting in those trenches and seeing
Speaker 3: is this something that can be? And we did. We
Speaker 3: put in the hard work, were put in the hard yards,
Speaker 3: the hours, in the conversations and all the rest of it.
Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, that was that,
Speaker 3: you know, it wasn't from lack of trying. We just
Speaker 3: figured out that we're just really great friends.
Speaker 4: Was part of that time when you guys work together
Speaker 4: for over a year and when you're trying to kind
Speaker 4: of make it work and you're thinking is this going
Speaker 4: to keep going or you're making those decisions. Is there
Speaker 4: a part of you thinking, but everyone wanted us to
Speaker 4: break up, let's stay together because of that? Or were
Speaker 4: you thinking about the pressure of the public or the
Speaker 4: fact that there are no success stories from the show
Speaker 4: and you're like, come on, we can do this. Did
Speaker 4: you ever think about the public perception in terms of
Speaker 4: your relationship? Look?
Speaker 3: I did. It was definitely something that I had in
Speaker 3: the back of my mind, and it was more of like, oh, God, like,
Speaker 3: you know, all of those nasty, vile people that wished
Speaker 3: us ill and had all those nasty things to say
Speaker 3: about us, and the naysayer is like, we've effectively validated
Speaker 3: their shitty comments and those really evil words, and so
Speaker 3: in the back of my mind, I was like, oh, like,
Speaker 3: I hate that I'm giving these nasty, nasty people this satisfaction.
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, like you know,
Speaker 3: they don't know us, and they don't know what we
Speaker 3: have been through effectively. And like I said earlier, you're
Speaker 3: any decision we make or that I make will piss
Speaker 3: someone off. You just can't think about it. So Yeah,
Speaker 3: for a split moment, I was like, oh, I don't
Speaker 3: want to give these people, you know, like that feeling
Speaker 3: of like oh God, like I told you so well,
Speaker 3: like oh here we are look at them now, like
Speaker 3: we knew this was going to happen. I didn't want
Speaker 3: to give those people the satisfaction. But I have bigger
Speaker 3: fish to fry. I cannot be worried about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you uprooted your life from Melbourne to the Gold Coast.
Speaker 2: Do you see sel staining in the Gold Coast?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: I will probably make my way back home. I miss
Speaker 3: so much about Melbourne. I have loved my time up
Speaker 3: here on the Gold Coast, but I think I'm a
Speaker 3: Melbourne girly through and through. I went back home last
Speaker 3: weekend and it just reminded me how much I miss.
Speaker 3: You know, my people are there, my circle, my friends,
Speaker 3: my family, and I think what I need right now
Speaker 3: is to be completely immersed in that.
Speaker 4: You've said online that you and Jack still have a
Speaker 4: lot of love for each other and you still care
Speaker 4: for one another, how would you describe that relationship now?
Speaker 3: The relationship now is, Zach, we're like the best of mates.
Speaker 3: We obviously still live in the same apartment, still go
Speaker 3: to the gym together. Not not much has changed other
Speaker 3: than we are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend. It's probably
Speaker 3: very confusing to some people, but not much has changed.
Speaker 3: You know, we still hang out all the time. Like
Speaker 3: it's strange. I've never been this amicable and this friendly
Speaker 3: with an e. But I guess when you grow up,
Speaker 3: and you know, you get older, when you're when the
Speaker 3: feelings just aren't there and no one's done anything wrong, it's.
Speaker 2: Easy, Yeah, for sure. And I guess given everything you
Speaker 2: guys went through as well on the show and whatever. Like,
Speaker 2: there's so many different pressures being on a show like Maths,
Speaker 2: so like, even when you are trying to forge a
Speaker 2: romantic connection, like you said, with a virtual stranger, you're
Speaker 2: just thrown into so many different challenges and of course
Speaker 2: you go into the outside world and then it's about
Speaker 2: seeing if you can make it work in that world
Speaker 2: without all that kind of echo chamber of experts and
Speaker 2: other people getting involved. So and that stuff takes time.
Speaker 2: Takes time as.
Speaker 3: Well, absolutely, and like you know, like I said earlier,
Speaker 3: we didn't we didn't choose one another, but we could
Speaker 3: see that there was something there worth trying for, and
Speaker 3: we did. You know, if that spark or that little
Speaker 3: niggle wasn't there and I didn't move up to the
Speaker 3: Gold Coast, it would the right I would have been
Speaker 3: on the wall. But you know, I did uproot my
Speaker 3: life because we wanted to give it the best shot.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what we did.
Speaker 4: To switch things up a bit. We thought it would
Speaker 4: be fun to get you to react to one of
Speaker 4: your most iconic scenes on the show. You basically had
Speaker 4: reached your limit with the contestants grilling you about your relationship,
Speaker 4: and you kind of shut them down and put them
Speaker 4: in their place at the dinner party. Let's play the clip.
Speaker 3: Oh, let's the problem is that you don't feel anything
Speaker 3: towards the shop. How I feel? Just trust what I'm
Speaker 3: doing is right and if it's not, you can all laugh.
Speaker 3: Oh no, if you can all laugh, everyone's probably laughing now.
Speaker 3: It's so you know what, I'm going to be real
Speaker 3: with you all. After you are wanted this table, maybe
Speaker 3: you at the beginning, I would want to spend time
Speaker 3: after this experiment. None of you have none none. Hmm, well,
Speaker 3: I've stayed true to that.
Speaker 4: We were going to ask, have you spoken to anyone
Speaker 4: on that table?
Speaker 3: You know what, I actually I stayed true to the
Speaker 3: never seeing Oh I haven't even stayed true to that. No,
Speaker 3: because I've seen them. I've seen them and I've spoken
Speaker 3: to them. I think at that time, like you're right,
Speaker 3: I was at the end of my tether. I was like,
Speaker 3: fuck these guys, these guys are shit. I'm going to
Speaker 3: get out. But look, since then, most of them have
Speaker 3: reached out. This was before the breakup, you know, most
Speaker 3: of them had reached out and said some really nice things,
Speaker 3: bumped into a few of them, and then post breakup,
Speaker 3: I've heard from or we've heard from most of them.
Speaker 3: I think the ones that we haven't heard from who
Speaker 3: cares like they're showing their true colors, whereas you know,
Speaker 3: the rest are more than happy to let bygones be bygones.
Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, we were filming
Speaker 3: a reality TV show. It needed to be entertaining. So yeah,
Speaker 3: and apologies have been made where apologies were needed, and
Speaker 3: I think that's the that's the best thing, like, you know, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 3: during filming, we were all very we all had a
Speaker 3: job to do, and that was to make entertaining TV.
Speaker 3: Post filming, where wrong doings and really shitty things have
Speaker 3: been said, they've been apologized for, and you cannot ask
Speaker 3: for any more than that.
Speaker 4: Were there any surprise apologies you weren't expecting?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah there was one and I'm not here to
Speaker 3: like name, but there was one that I probably or
Speaker 3: that we were not expecting that we got. And yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's big of them to do what they
Speaker 3: did and apologize for for their part in you know,
Speaker 3: what was effectively a shoot show for us.
Speaker 4: Have you had to think about Obviously it's very early,
Speaker 4: but how navigating the dating world being a reality TV
Speaker 4: star that was public as a public figure, how is
Speaker 4: that going to work out?
Speaker 3: I have got no idea. I cannot even entertain the
Speaker 3: thought of dating right now. I Oh, I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like everyone is going to
Speaker 3: want to know everything, and i'd yeah, honestly, I've not
Speaker 3: thought about it, and it makes me a little bit
Speaker 3: nauseous to think about it. I think for me. I'm
Speaker 3: just ignorance, is bliss? I am not thinking about it.
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. One thing at a time, right,
Speaker 2: like move back to Melbourne, maybe settle vagoon, see what happens.
Speaker 3: Say is full? It's full, cannot fit another thing on it.
Speaker 4: We've actually been sent a question from a little surprise guest,
Speaker 4: someone that was on your season. Okay, very interested to
Speaker 4: see your answer on this one.
Speaker 5: Hey, Tory, it's Eden. Lachlan and Talia have tasked me
Speaker 5: with asking you a question today. So every year Maths
Speaker 5: has its so called villains, and unfortunately there's a bit
Speaker 5: of a stigma that comes with that label, often unfairly
Speaker 5: by being by Jack's side through all of that, did
Speaker 5: you feel it all let down by the rest of
Speaker 5: the cast, whether people you considered friends that let you down,
Speaker 5: like they fed into that narrative or didn't support you
Speaker 5: when you really needed it. Me personally, looking back, as
Speaker 5: much as I don't support everything that happened, I think
Speaker 5: there's times where I could have been a better friend,
Speaker 5: And I just wonder what it was like on the
Speaker 5: receiving end of the position that you guys were in.
Speaker 3: God bless her. I love that girl. Yeah, I one
Speaker 3: dinner party sticks out for me the most, and it
Speaker 3: was probably the first in a party where everything pops
Speaker 3: off with Jack and Lauren. I can't even remember. It
Speaker 3: was a message or a photo at the gym or
Speaker 3: whatever it was, I can't remember. And they waited, they
Speaker 3: held onto this information and then they let it all
Speaker 3: out at the dinner party. And I remember saying, like
Speaker 3: I thought we were fucking friends, Like I understand you're
Speaker 3: allowed to text me, but shit, like, if you cared
Speaker 3: about me as much as what you say, and you're
Speaker 3: my friend as much as what you say, why didn't
Speaker 3: you bring this to me away from the dinner party
Speaker 3: and then we could have spoken about how we were
Speaker 3: going to deal with it at the dinner party, because
Speaker 3: I'm sure when there were other situations that happened behind
Speaker 3: closed doors or on a Saturday or Friday night, that
Speaker 3: there would have been like a little crisis meeting howld
Speaker 3: to make sure the people that were in the wrong
Speaker 3: didn't look like, fuck, we're to the dinner party. And
Speaker 3: I felt like I was never given that opportunity to
Speaker 3: have that Okay, girl, we got you, like, what are
Speaker 3: we going to do? Like what would you like is
Speaker 3: to say, how do you want this to be played?
Speaker 3: I was never a part of that little clique, And
Speaker 3: when I look back at it, I am glad that
Speaker 3: I was never a part of that little clique because
Speaker 3: I had no choice, and the same as Jack, we
Speaker 3: had no choice but to stay true to who we
Speaker 3: were and what we were doing, because we didn't have
Speaker 3: that group that was having these little side meetings like Okay,
Speaker 3: this happened on the weekend. How are we going to
Speaker 3: package this up and make it so fluffy and it
Speaker 3: will just be like it never happened. If I had
Speaker 3: cheated or if Jack had cheated, do you think it
Speaker 3: would have been played out the way that a certain
Speaker 3: cheating scandal played out. Absolutely not. It would have been
Speaker 3: health for the stake, feet on fire like, it would
Speaker 3: have been absolute warm. So yeah, I do think I
Speaker 3: was let down by the cast. I think whatever now,
Speaker 3: like I really am unfazed by now, But back then,
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, wow, there are really no there's
Speaker 3: no one here that's going to back me but me
Speaker 3: and Jack.
Speaker 2: And have you been watching the latest season of Math
Speaker 2: or was it like looking back triggering at all to
Speaker 2: watch it?
Speaker 3: I was obsessed and the worst part was I was
Speaker 3: so like I just took what I saw for value,
Speaker 3: like I'd never been on the shoble, and I was
Speaker 3: so vocal and like I think I said to a
Speaker 3: post on Instagram, like, guys, I'll do you know, like
Speaker 3: episode reactions. And then I found myself like just being
Speaker 3: so like aggressive and like involved, and I was like,
Speaker 3: I can't put this on my social media, like I'll
Speaker 3: be freaking canceled.
Speaker 4: Well, you recently clapped back at Jackie on social media,
Speaker 4: I mean to fill people in. She had basically did
Speaker 4: a Q and A. She was asked about your breakup
Speaker 4: with jack and she said I never liked jack so
Speaker 4: very glad she deserves more than him. And then you
Speaker 4: and a few other MATH stars basically called her out.
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on this year's cast and have
Speaker 4: you spoken with Jackie or had any more interaction since then?
Speaker 3: No, I haven't spoken to Jackie, And honestly, like a
Speaker 3: day doesn't go past where I'm like, oh God, I
Speaker 3: want to speak to Jackie, but I don't. I like
Speaker 3: this year was just a nightmare, Like I just felt
Speaker 3: like there was little spotfires everywhere, and like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: I felt like there was a lot of double standards.
Speaker 3: I think it was it was messy. One way to
Speaker 3: put it. It was messy. I feel like with our season,
Speaker 3: it was consistent that it was kind of you know,
Speaker 3: all there was always something new happening. There was always
Speaker 3: something new being said or someone did something shitty every week.
Speaker 3: It wasn't the same thing harped on each and every
Speaker 3: week other than Jack and I are sex Life. But
Speaker 3: apart from that, there was something new this season. I
Speaker 3: just felt like it was very manufactured. Not a lot
Speaker 3: was going on. They had little to work with, so
Speaker 3: they just rinsed everything that they called over and over again.
Speaker 3: I think the only other thing that I really spoke
Speaker 3: on my social media about was Tim and that was
Speaker 3: another thing I was like, yeah, like someone like tell
Speaker 3: me he's a good guy and I'll share the responses.
Speaker 3: Could not share the responses.
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of talk recently, especially this year,
Speaker 4: with Maths and looking at the production and the ethics
Speaker 4: of the show. Do you think from your experience, Maths
Speaker 4: should be investigated or doing anything more to protect the cast.
Speaker 3: Look, at the end of the day, it's a workplace, right,
Speaker 3: they pay us, We do a job. It's a workplace.
Speaker 3: We need to be respected and cared for as any
Speaker 3: one who goes to work should be. And I think
Speaker 3: probably the biggest thing for them that they really push
Speaker 3: the boundary on is probably that duty of care, because
Speaker 3: you know, at the end of the day, Yeah, sure,
Speaker 3: we sign a contract. I get that. Does anyone read
Speaker 3: the one hundred and seventy seven pages of the contract. No,
Speaker 3: but it is very clearly stated to you at the
Speaker 3: front in a nutshell We're gonna fuck with you. That's
Speaker 3: what you're signing up for. And we're all like, so
Speaker 3: what line we not even We're just like yeap, sign, date, scan,
Speaker 3: send it back, because you don't know at that time,
Speaker 3: you don't know what they're going to do and the
Speaker 3: severity of what they're going to do to you. So
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, there needs to be probably a little
Speaker 3: bit more regulation around let's understand what the term defamation is,
Speaker 3: understand what the term bullying means. You know, like, let's
Speaker 3: just rain it in a little bit, because sure it's entertaining,
Speaker 3: that's great, and the viewers are seeing, you know, sixty
Speaker 3: minutes of footage that you know has been taken over
Speaker 3: you know, fifty hours or sixty hours in that week
Speaker 3: they're watching dinner parties and bless them, they think the
Speaker 3: dinner parties start at five and go to eight. Like
Speaker 3: those guys have been awake since six am. It's now
Speaker 3: four am, you know what I mean? So I think
Speaker 3: they just need to tighten tighten the reins a little
Speaker 3: bit and just understand that. Yeah, entertaining making new millions
Speaker 3: love that, but come on, like, we're human.
Speaker 2: Exactly do you think, given the long filming days, the
Speaker 2: fact that the show is so huge, would make so
Speaker 2: much money for the network? Do you think participants are
Speaker 2: financially compensated enough for everything they go through?
Speaker 3: No? Absolutely not.
Speaker 2: Everyone needs a pay rise to pay rise.
Speaker 3: Everyone needs a pay rise.
Speaker 4: Would you be open to going on reality TV again?
Speaker 4: Have you thought about what show you might want to
Speaker 4: appear on next Reality TV?
Speaker 3: Yes? You wouldn't catch me dead on another dating show?
Speaker 4: Applications?
Speaker 3: Why not? Don't bother we've going off? Yeah, I would
Speaker 3: do I would do TV again. I genuinely enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: I had a great time, but I just wouldn't put
Speaker 3: myself out there in that dating space ever.
Speaker 2: Again, what kind of show do you think like if
Speaker 2: you had to pick from the Australian kind of line
Speaker 2: up right now? Of other reality shows, does anything call
Speaker 2: out to you?
Speaker 3: I think my top two would be like the blow
Speaker 3: and I say, I'm a celebrity, get me out of here.
Speaker 3: But the minute you ask me to eat anything other
Speaker 3: than chicken, fish, beef, poorhol lamb, I'm a celebrity.
Speaker 2: Do you think you and Jack could go on the
Speaker 2: Block and just confuse like the absolute shit out of
Speaker 2: everyone who like still think you know something dramatic went down,
Speaker 2: but you're just like no, I'll just go and build
Speaker 2: a house now.
Speaker 3: I'd love to. And you know what, you would probably
Speaker 3: see more of who we are on the Block because
Speaker 3: I'm a control freak. He's a control freak. I want
Speaker 3: to do things a certain way. He wants to do
Speaker 3: things a certain way. I'm he's impatient. I'm patient. I'm
Speaker 3: a morning person, he's not. It would be more entertaining
Speaker 3: for them to have us on the Block than what
Speaker 3: it was to have us on Mass And I've said
Speaker 3: that for so long, for so so long.
Speaker 2: Block twenty twenty six maybe or for the call out.
Speaker 3: Get me to Melbourne?
Speaker 4: What else is on Tori vision Board? Like one year
Speaker 4: on from maths.
Speaker 2: My god, what do.
Speaker 3: I look like? I've got no idea. I think my
Speaker 3: biggest focus for me right now is probably starting that
Speaker 3: process of moving back home, which is going to be
Speaker 3: huge because I did sell everything to move up here,
Speaker 3: so I'm essentially starting from scratch back home. And then
Speaker 3: I think, once I'm there, I don't know what will
Speaker 3: come from that. You know, I don't know what life
Speaker 3: looks like as a single person. I came out of
Speaker 3: the show in a relationship, and my priority at that
Speaker 3: time was to build and grow and connect with this person,
Speaker 3: and that's what we focused on. So what my life
Speaker 3: looks like now, I have no idea other than getting
Speaker 3: myself back home and just seeing where the universe takes me,
Speaker 3: I guess. And I'm so open, like I am not
Speaker 3: closed off to anything. I'm just what is meant for
Speaker 3: me will will come to me, and I'm excited to
Speaker 3: see what that is.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, that's an exciting feeling too, just
Speaker 2: to kind of like and especially like I feel like
Speaker 2: I'm a bit of a control freak too. And then
Speaker 2: sometimes when those circumstances happen and you just kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 2: now I just have to roll with it and just
Speaker 2: see what is out there.
Speaker 3: That's the thing I think, like, when I want something,
Speaker 3: I can be quite i guess aggressive in getting it,
Speaker 3: but I think I need to learn the art of
Speaker 3: if it's not meant for me, it won't stick to me,
Speaker 3: and if it's meant to me, meant for me, it'll
Speaker 3: stick with me. So instead of trying like hold onto
Speaker 3: things for dear life like don't leave me, what will
Speaker 3: be will be? And I think, you know, that's something
Speaker 3: that I really need to just focus on this year,
Speaker 3: is what's meant for me will stay. What's not we'll.
Speaker 2: Simply go absolutely. It's like I feel like TikTok has
Speaker 2: taught me all of that over the last year or so.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're on TikTok for there's so
Speaker 2: many like TikTok girlies that are just like, you know,
Speaker 2: just like send it back out into the universe. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, at.
Speaker 3: The moment, is just like heartbroken, don't heartbroken?
Speaker 2: Wee did you get the Taro hard ones? Have seen
Speaker 2: the Taro card ones. I'm like, this is meant for me.
Speaker 3: If you're seeing this on the fifth of Mark and I'm.
Speaker 4: Like right now where it's like, don't skip this otherwise
Speaker 4: you'll get bad, And I'm like, no, don't do it.
Speaker 2: Is there anything you want maths viewers or fans of
Speaker 2: the show to keep in mind as the show keeps
Speaker 2: continuing over the next however, lon it goes or.
Speaker 3: I just think like at some point we have to
Speaker 3: come to terms with the fact that reality TV, as
Speaker 3: the years go on, is so far from real, like
Speaker 3: even you know, just seeing some comments and reactions to
Speaker 3: this year's season and this year's cast, and you just think,
Speaker 3: how how are people so stupid? Like it's fucking no
Speaker 3: one wants to sit back and watch twenty four people
Speaker 3: fall in love Like I don't. I don't want to watch.
Speaker 3: I don't want to watch you to be happy. I
Speaker 3: want to see, like, you know, drama and war and
Speaker 3: crisis don't give me happiness. So yeah, I think just
Speaker 3: online bullying is so prevalent right now, and it comes
Speaker 3: from all these like sad, lonely people that sit at
Speaker 3: home and slam their like greasy keyboards and they think
Speaker 3: that they're not doing any harm. But actually I saw
Speaker 3: something that Jackie posted the other day. She was doing
Speaker 3: a Q and a and she'd been asked if she'd
Speaker 3: gone back to work, and she said, no, like, I'm
Speaker 3: going through therapy right now. I'm getting myself better and
Speaker 3: I'm building myself back up to go out into the world.
Speaker 3: And I really can sympathize with that. People think that
Speaker 3: we're robots. We are humans, and we have feelings and
Speaker 3: we have families that have to read that shit, and
Speaker 3: I think that's what's the most heartbreaking.
Speaker 4: So appreciate you just coming on chatting about all of this.
Speaker 4: Best of luck with the move. Is that happening in
Speaker 4: the next few weeks, So what does that timeline look like?
Speaker 3: I don't know what that timeline looks like. I would
Speaker 3: love to be home in time for winter. I think
Speaker 3: I'm due for like a really crispy Melbourne winter. But
Speaker 3: I've got it pretty good up here, so there is
Speaker 3: really no rush. But if an opportunity presents itself, I'll
Speaker 3: probably just jump at it.
