Speaker 1: Hey, it's I Do Part two and it's your celebrity
Speaker 1: mentors Brian Austin Greene and Kathy Schwartz.
Speaker 2: And we are in beautiful.
Speaker 1: Salving, California, on a fabulous farm with some of our
Speaker 1: farmers from Farmer Wants a Wife and incredible it's an
Speaker 1: incredible farm. And sitting between us right now is Farmer
Speaker 1: Matt from season three and we are going to kick
Speaker 1: it off and.
Speaker 2: Wait, can we just wish him a happy birthday weekend?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Tomorrow it'll be twenty one, twenty one years.
Speaker 1: He's going to be thirty two, which is amazing because
Speaker 1: I turned thirty four the next week after that. So
Speaker 1: we're just always celebrating birthdays. Or how about you, how
Speaker 1: about the fieldest one in the room always happened?
Speaker 4: Maybe I could give you guys some advice.
Speaker 1: Okay, so on with that in mind, something really interesting
Speaker 1: to note here is that Farmer Wants a Wife is
Speaker 1: the biggest dating show in the world. It has aired
Speaker 1: in thirty two countries and resulted in two hundred and
Speaker 1: twenty six marriages, and after I finished, it's going to
Speaker 1: be two hundred and twenty seven and five hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty five babies with four more on the way. Again,
Speaker 1: I'll pass on that. Of those, they must be doing
Speaker 1: something right. So let's got what do you say.
Speaker 2: The for those numbers are incredible and their bananas and
Speaker 2: I don't there's a part of me that doesn't really
Speaker 2: believe them. I feel like maybe they're they've added those
Speaker 2: numbers to make it seem I iced to think that too. Right, Well,
Speaker 2: we'll get your roster. Yeah, I would like I would
Speaker 2: like name by name, experience by experience. So you were
Speaker 2: on last season, and first of all, like, did okay,
Speaker 2: did you really come on the show looking for a wife?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, Well there's you know, being thirty two, I'm
Speaker 4: get in my thirties. Yeah, I would like to view
Speaker 4: it somebody.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I you know, at the time they approached it.
Speaker 2: To choose, like, yeah, I want to be with someone,
Speaker 2: so I think I'm going to go on a reality
Speaker 2: show and I mean the same thing. Why why do
Speaker 2: you giving them a hard time? I'm just asking It
Speaker 2: just seems like because you're young, and that just seems
Speaker 2: like a like an interesting step to take.
Speaker 4: It was Yeah, I'm glad it did it. It wasn't
Speaker 4: something I sought out, they approached me.
Speaker 2: So you didn't consider other dating shows?
Speaker 4: No, I never thought I would do something like that
Speaker 4: in my life. You know, I don't really watch a
Speaker 4: lot of reality TV, but I would you know, seen
Speaker 4: clips and that not for me.
Speaker 2: So what did your family? What did your family say?
Speaker 4: They were so excited. My parents actually were fans of
Speaker 4: the show before I have ever been heard of it. Okay,
Speaker 4: so when I got reached out to, my whole family
Speaker 4: was very excited, forced me to do it.
Speaker 2: And and how how was that experience? You met someone
Speaker 2: on the show? Right? That was?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's wild. I mean, yeah. One one of the
Speaker 4: things that I tell people about this show probably different
Speaker 4: than any others. There's a lot of things. But they
Speaker 4: film in your home. So we're here on Shawn's ranch today.
Speaker 4: I mean, the girls are living here, which is wild.
Speaker 4: Normally you fly off to some tropical location, which I
Speaker 4: thought it nice too, But it's weird to have like
Speaker 4: a huge film crew and all these women and everything
Speaker 4: in your own territory in your home. That's not okay.
Speaker 2: And this is a very interesting representation of a farm,
Speaker 2: like this is not this is pretty badass. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: I could live here and I'm not a farmer at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I grew up in New England and this does
Speaker 1: not represent any kind of farm I.
Speaker 2: Grew up and this is gorgeous, but it's it's fabous.
Speaker 2: But I want to know.
Speaker 1: I want to get back to your family. So what
Speaker 1: kind of filmly did you grow up in? Like, when
Speaker 1: it came to your parents' relationship, what was your example
Speaker 1: of marriage?
Speaker 2: What were you looking for?
Speaker 4: I couldn't have been any better, And I think in
Speaker 4: some ways when I was younger, I didn't realize how
Speaker 4: good I had it. My parents have been married about
Speaker 4: forty six years. My grandparents were married fifty something years.
Speaker 4: No pressure, Yeah, I know, right. I have three siblings
Speaker 4: that are all married with kids, and so you know
Speaker 4: in our family there's just there isn't any divorce or
Speaker 4: any of that. And so I had such good examples,
Speaker 4: but these days things are a little different out there,
Speaker 4: and so you know, it's.
Speaker 2: Well again, then let's circle back to and then you
Speaker 2: took the risk of coming and doing it here you
Speaker 2: were like this. Yeah, it's like the representation of relationships
Speaker 2: in my life has been pretty strong. Yeah, I'm going
Speaker 2: to come on a reality show I feel like this
Speaker 2: is going to be where I find my partner for life.
Speaker 4: I like to do things a little different.
Speaker 2: Do you believe in love att first sight?
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. I think you can see
Speaker 4: someone and be pretty interested. I mean might change my mind,
Speaker 4: but yeah, it's a wild thing to do. But I
Speaker 4: will say I did my research on the show, and
Speaker 4: my parents had seen it, and this show is different
Speaker 4: than any other dating show. I think a lot of
Speaker 4: the you know, in my opinion, eighty five percent of
Speaker 4: the cast, whether it was Girls on My Farm or
Speaker 4: the other guys was, were all actually there for genuine reasons,
Speaker 4: which I didn't really expect. To me, There's to be
Speaker 4: a lot more of people there for the clout and
Speaker 4: all that, but.
Speaker 2: You would assume that everybody's showing up. It's that part
Speaker 2: of like I want to be on a show.
Speaker 4: And to make a lot of the shows that we
Speaker 4: see are like that, right, and so this one's not
Speaker 4: that way. I think it's pretty genuine and it is
Speaker 4: pretty real and a lot of the cast, you know,
Speaker 4: I would say, majority are faith based people who really
Speaker 4: there to meet somebody. I mean, I was pretty shocked.
Speaker 4: I'd say all almost all of the girls that I
Speaker 4: had selected were very genuine.
Speaker 2: So what was your What was the trait?
Speaker 1: Obviously you're looking for a woman who you know wants
Speaker 1: to move here and be your wife and give you
Speaker 1: twenty six children?
Speaker 2: But what was the trade thirty children?
Speaker 1: I was just accounting for, maybe, you know, the slow start.
Speaker 2: What's the trait, the underlying traite?
Speaker 1: Obviously you want pretty, you want to attract me, you
Speaker 1: want smart, you want somebody's be a great mom and
Speaker 1: all that. Now give me something else. What's that hidden trait,
Speaker 1: that hidden gem that you're looking for.
Speaker 4: I think in today's dating climate, it's pretty rough out there.
Speaker 4: There's the people's morals are just not what they used
Speaker 4: to be, and people are there for a lot of
Speaker 4: other reasons. I think it's just comes down to Loyalty
Speaker 4: is a big part of it, but just really how
Speaker 4: someone operates out other than being with me. It's not
Speaker 4: just about us, It's like, how are you as a
Speaker 4: person in general? Yeah? You know, what do you do
Speaker 4: and no one's looking?
Speaker 2: How's your sure that someone's always looking?
Speaker 3: Usually?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I find out, well, especially when you're on a
Speaker 4: show like this, Yeah, everybody much?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wow, what's your biggest turn off in dating. I'm
Speaker 1: writing a book here, I need to know.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know a lot of things. I think
Speaker 4: it's how you treat other people, because I've dated girls
Speaker 4: in the past that maybe to me they're great and
Speaker 4: it's all fun, but then you're kind of seeing how
Speaker 4: they're talking about their friends, or how they interact with
Speaker 4: family or a waiter or whatever it is. So you
Speaker 4: got to keep an eye out for that.
Speaker 2: Is that your biggest dick?
Speaker 4: I would say that's up there. Yeah, someone mistreating someone else.
Speaker 4: It's not how I operate.
Speaker 1: So wow, hmmm, Well, now we have to get down
Speaker 1: to the So I'm I'm single and dating this.
Speaker 2: Guy, but I'm working on him. She's She's been trying
Speaker 2: to get drinks in me all morning and I'm like, no, So,
Speaker 2: are you.
Speaker 1: Open to dating divorced women? Are you to dating older women?
Speaker 1: Tell me your I mean, you are just.
Speaker 2: On the couch and I could sit closer to you.
Speaker 4: Welcome, Let's make sure we get pretty even right now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I have date dated someone in the past is divorced
Speaker 4: that had children already, So yeah, it would be open
Speaker 4: to it. You know, it just depends on the situation.
Speaker 2: You forgot the second part of the question. Is it
Speaker 2: older women? Oh, you don't have to answer that. You
Speaker 2: don't have to answer that. I didn't say me. I'm
Speaker 2: just going to take the heat off of you right now.
Speaker 2: I want you to feel comfortable sitting on this couch. Okay?
Speaker 2: Can we so this? So this was brought to our
Speaker 2: attention earlier? Can we talk a little bit about Chelsea?
Speaker 1: Is that?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 4: What do you want that?
Speaker 2: Sure? I was so that. So Chelsea is who you
Speaker 2: ended up with, right? And I heard recently that that
Speaker 2: you guys that you no longer follow her.
Speaker 1: You don't follow her on Instagram and she doesn't follow you,
Speaker 1: and there's no limit to the number of people you
Speaker 1: can follow.
Speaker 2: So spill what happened.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, in a nutshell, we did date for
Speaker 4: a while after the show, and uh, I think we
Speaker 4: liked each other. It was just it didn't pan out,
Speaker 4: and not for any particular reason. Friends, Oh, I would
Speaker 4: use that word. She's a She's a great person of nothing,
Speaker 4: not a single bad thing is Where is she from?
Speaker 4: She is from Texas? I thought so aware, ye small town?
Speaker 2: What do you mean you thought so?
Speaker 1: Because I get around Dallas you're not gonna believe this.
Speaker 1: I know her really, no, right, you tell.
Speaker 2: Me exactly she said, you're not going to believe.
Speaker 1: You just wanted to see you squirm and it worked.
Speaker 1: So are you into square dancing or line dancing? Because
Speaker 1: I had to learn it when I moved to Texas.
Speaker 4: No, I don't fall around with that stuff. You don't
Speaker 4: dance trying to get me to do that on the
Speaker 4: show actually one of the episodes, and I refused, you cannot.
Speaker 4: I'm more of a free dancer, you know, after like
Speaker 4: ten dranks, maybe I'll get not just kind of like in.
Speaker 2: A circle like it. Yeah, you and everybody moving into
Speaker 2: kill over.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Not a big choreograph dancer.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So I'm asking for a friend. If a woman is
Speaker 1: a bad kisser, is that a turn off or something
Speaker 1: you can work with?
Speaker 4: Oh boy, you know, it's a lot more about a
Speaker 4: lot of other things said.
Speaker 2: Get out of here, Come on now. No, kissing is
Speaker 2: a big. Kissing is a.
Speaker 4: Big I think there's chemistry with somebody, you know, there is.
Speaker 2: There's no nothing that takes you out of a situation.
Speaker 2: Keep talking. Then bad kissing, Yeah, a bad kisser of course,
Speaker 2: because it pulls you completely. For me, it pulls you
Speaker 2: completely out of the moment. There have been times where
Speaker 2: I've thought, oh, this is really this could be something,
Speaker 2: and then the kiss was bad, and it's like breaks,
Speaker 2: what if she was great in bad? Doesn't it? Well?
Speaker 2: You don't want to This is iHeart, man, this is
Speaker 2: how we do it. I told you I'm tired. I am.
Speaker 2: I'm on the dating scene.
Speaker 1: I'm getting I'm using you guys to get all the
Speaker 1: information we Okay, yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm just a small, humble farmer. I don't kiss and
Speaker 4: tell Oh.
Speaker 2: Come on, now, he doesn't kiss and tell them. He
Speaker 2: doesn't dance. I mean.
Speaker 4: You well, I didn't say did you grow avocados?
Speaker 2: Come on, there's gotta be more than that. Yeah, are
Speaker 2: you dating qualities?
Speaker 4: I've dated around a little bit.
Speaker 1: Okay, are you like an English major? Just it's yes
Speaker 1: or no? Are you dating now?
Speaker 4: I've been dating.
Speaker 2: I have been.
Speaker 1: I like, let's use can use the subjunctive. I would
Speaker 1: date if.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, there's this whole year has been a whirlwind,
Speaker 4: as you can imagine afterwards.
Speaker 2: Jesus.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so I'm just trying to make sure I'm
Speaker 4: in a good position to be with somebody else, because
Speaker 4: there's a lot Like one thing you don't realize maybe
Speaker 4: is there's a lot of stuff that comes along with
Speaker 4: being on a dating show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for some reason, pressure all of a sudden. I'm
Speaker 2: sure when you go out, people go well that and.
Speaker 4: Then you know someone got to see you, you know,
Speaker 4: get a bunch of other people and said as their
Speaker 4: family and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: So it could happen to anyone morally. How was that
Speaker 2: for you having so many women and going through that.
Speaker 2: I tried my best to dating them all at the
Speaker 2: same time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was weird. It was harder than I thought
Speaker 4: because I think I didn't realize how real it was
Speaker 4: going to be. Yeah, so then a lot of people
Speaker 4: were really invested emotionally.
Speaker 2: So were you invested emotionally with more than one woman?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 2: I knew it was going to be Chelsea from the beginning.
Speaker 4: I don't know from the beginning. There was such a whirlwind.
Speaker 4: There's so much going on. I think probably halfway through
Speaker 4: I realized that that was going to be the case.
Speaker 2: Wow, And so how long does the season last?
Speaker 4: Like, how long are you filming?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: The filming was about five weeks. But it felt like
Speaker 4: six months. Yeah, it's an intense like it was. I
Speaker 4: think we had an intense five weeks. I think we
Speaker 4: had two days off in the five weeks. And you're
Speaker 4: filming all day nine am to ten pm sometimes.
Speaker 2: And are they picking all of the activities and the
Speaker 2: things that you do?
Speaker 4: And they let me have a lot of creative freedom
Speaker 4: with like dates and that kind of thing. So they
Speaker 4: would kind of like set things up around what I
Speaker 4: wanted to do or things I like to do, which
Speaker 4: was pretty cool.
Speaker 2: That's great. Yeah, what was your best date? What were
Speaker 2: you doing? I mean.
Speaker 4: Best date? Are you doing good one?
Speaker 2: What was I we'll get your mind out of the
Speaker 2: gut or bots. You're the one that said it. It
Speaker 2: wasn't me, Like what.
Speaker 3: Were you doing?
Speaker 2: You sort of sad? Why? Seeding a baby goat? Picking
Speaker 2: a nova? Connor specific?
Speaker 4: It was fun. It was really fun, like the group
Speaker 4: kind of dates with all the girls because we got
Speaker 4: like shut myself on the foot on that one. You
Speaker 4: know what I meant, I did? It was a blast.
Speaker 4: I mean we're out there on my pharm and these
Speaker 4: girls are all picking avocados.
Speaker 2: I was going to say my show group dates sucked.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that was a blast, and I really liked
Speaker 4: all the girls even besides, like in a dating way.
Speaker 4: It was fun having them all there. They were neat people.
Speaker 4: I'm friends with a lot of them still.
Speaker 1: So so what's the biggest misconception then about farmers from.
Speaker 4: Just farmers in general across across the board.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would say farmers that are in there,
Speaker 1: I would assume that, like a peanut farmer is very different.
Speaker 4: There's a really there's a really big range. Like me
Speaker 4: and some of the guys got a lot of hate
Speaker 4: afterwards and like they're not a real farmer.
Speaker 2: You're you're not growing correctly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, people think of a farmer and they think
Speaker 4: of a small town Midwest like hardworking guy out there
Speaker 4: on a tractor all day. And that is the case
Speaker 4: a lot of people. But like for us, we don't
Speaker 4: operate that way. We can't. We have to have labor
Speaker 4: crews and different piece it's more like management and stuff.
Speaker 2: Like getting at this place absolutely brings that tol like,
Speaker 2: oh this is there's not one guy running all of this.
Speaker 2: This is like you have a crew and he's making coffees.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a big range, that's.
Speaker 2: What he does Now, I really love making coffee. You're
Speaker 2: all about the coffee and you're all about the vodkast.
Speaker 2: So between the two of us, listen, them's fighting words.
Speaker 2: You and I are going at.
Speaker 4: It, but just settle on an espresso marchini.
Speaker 1: Matt, Now you really do want an older woman because
Speaker 1: that's one of my drinks.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: I have a question that people ask me all the time.
Speaker 1: I was on Golden Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. Did
Speaker 1: not find love on either one? Because what are you
Speaker 1: looking at? Slash Kathy and Matt walks off into the sunset. Hi, kids,
Speaker 1: I'm not coming home. I'm picking avocados in California. See
Speaker 1: it was coming from reality TV one way or the other.
Speaker 1: That's that's why you're.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I want to know, seriously that what did you learn
Speaker 1: about yourself? I get asked this all the time. What
Speaker 1: did you learn about yourself? Did you change? It's like
Speaker 1: a multifaceted question. Do you think of yourself differently? All
Speaker 1: those things?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 4: I don't think of myself differently at all. It's been
Speaker 4: a really amazing experience. I've made a lot of good
Speaker 4: friends out of it, which is really cool. I think
Speaker 4: I now, going through all this stuff and all this
Speaker 4: I'm just like, Okay, I know what i want. Like,
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna do you want?
Speaker 2: What do you want? Oh?
Speaker 4: I want to be now you know what I want
Speaker 4: to be with my wife, whoever that may be. But
Speaker 4: I am really looking at someone's morals at this point,
Speaker 4: not just you know, not just looks.
Speaker 2: The fun. The heat coming off of this end of
Speaker 2: the couch is like unbelievable. Just tell me, this is
Speaker 2: an air conditioned room.
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you something. I will get you back.
Speaker 1: This day is not over, No, it's not.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a long day.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So okay, so you really are seriously looking. I mean
Speaker 1: because I'm a mother of three and you're a little
Speaker 1: younger than my youngest child. So I could adopt you
Speaker 1: or I could date you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of the two.
Speaker 2: But but I.
Speaker 1: Would say, you know, thirty two, you could, you could,
Speaker 1: you could shop around for a while.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 4: I don't want to though. Yeah, I think after all
Speaker 4: this experience, there's a blast. Obviously getting attention from girls
Speaker 4: is the worst thing. But I'm really looking. I would
Speaker 4: get fooled before a lot when I was younger and
Speaker 4: looks and all this, you know, having fun and all that,
Speaker 4: but I think you come to realize like that, if
Speaker 4: you're not with someone who respects you and has the
Speaker 4: same morals and cares about your family or that, just
Speaker 4: it's just not gonna work. It might be fun for
Speaker 4: a little bit, but.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love I'm serious that.
Speaker 1: As a mom, I love hearing that because that's what
Speaker 1: you want for your children. You want them to realize
Speaker 1: that there's so much more. I was married almost forty
Speaker 1: six years before my husband passed away, and marriage is
Speaker 1: an easy and so I love hearing you say that.
Speaker 4: You're no, I mean, it's there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 4: of tough stuff you go through no matter what. And
Speaker 4: so you don't want someone that's.
Speaker 2: I don't know, somebody's good looking at you. How tough
Speaker 2: can it be? Really?
Speaker 4: Well, it's it's not about that though, yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 4: just I'm looking way past all that stuff now.
Speaker 1: All right, So I have one more question for you,
Speaker 1: and then you're taking it away because I know you
Speaker 1: have a lot. What advice do you have for the
Speaker 1: farmers from you know, from Brayden and Sean and Brett
Speaker 1: Season four Farmers.
Speaker 4: I'm excited for those guys. I got to talk to
Speaker 4: Sean quite a bit. He called me before filming a
Speaker 4: couple of times, yeah, during and after, and so I
Speaker 4: try to give him as much information as I could
Speaker 4: possibly advice that I had, but I would just say,
Speaker 4: you know, have fun with this. Is that once in
Speaker 4: a lifetime experience. Not a lot of people get to
Speaker 4: do this.
Speaker 2: Had you ever met any of these guys before this, No,
Speaker 2: not at all. So they reached down and they were like, hey,
Speaker 2: you were on this show, Like we need just a
Speaker 2: little inside information.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, to expect to man, it's crazy and
Speaker 4: they don't give you a lot of information going into it,
Speaker 4: and they give you an idea, but you don't know
Speaker 4: how it's going to be day to day, and so
Speaker 4: mostly just have fun with it. It's really easy to
Speaker 4: get like in your head and get like, you know,
Speaker 4: locked into this whole thing, you know, but just have fun.
Speaker 4: And I think that the real dating comes after the show,
Speaker 4: Like once you choose that girl, everything kind of fades
Speaker 4: and the cameras are gone.
Speaker 2: So how did it change for you?
Speaker 4: Which which part?
Speaker 1: Well, when you say I agree with you, not that
Speaker 1: I would know. I've never been chosen, But this's my time's.
Speaker 2: Coming to get there. We'll get there.
Speaker 1: But seriously, I imagine being in that bubble. How does
Speaker 1: how is it so different when you come off the show?
Speaker 4: Well, it was wild. Like me and the other guys
Speaker 4: were traveling around the country journalist press, media stuff. We're
Speaker 4: going to these big events and there's girls that are
Speaker 4: chasing you around, asking for photos and a lot of stuff,
Speaker 4: and you know, you get kind of caught up in
Speaker 4: it for a second, like this is pretty fun. But
Speaker 4: besides all of that, that's just not gonna last. You know,
Speaker 4: that's a fun experience, but it's nothing to do with
Speaker 4: a real relationship. So right, I think, in my opinion,
Speaker 4: the show gets you to the point where you can
Speaker 4: learn enough about these girls where you can pick someone
Speaker 4: that you think it's going to work with, and then
Speaker 4: from there the real process starts. It takes time you start.
Speaker 2: Really dating, because you're not dating here, no.
Speaker 4: I mean you're getting to know somebody. But in five weeks,
Speaker 4: I mean, there's a lot more to learn. It takes time,
Speaker 4: you know what. I've just got a brilliant idea. I'm
Speaker 4: a producer at heart. When these guys they've chosen apparently.
Speaker 4: I mean, the season's going to start airing, why don't
Speaker 4: you find out who they didn't choose? You've got you
Speaker 4: have twenty seven No, okay, I just thought those are
Speaker 4: you know, try to be respectful here.
Speaker 2: No sappy seconds for this guy. There's something to that idea, though.
Speaker 2: I think that's a good like. I think there's prime Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think like there's a there's an after the show
Speaker 2: show kind of aspect to that. It could be fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's definitely that could happen.
Speaker 2: How was it for you going from uh, being on
Speaker 2: a farm and having a very sort of simple life
Speaker 2: to all of a sudden being within this tornado? Because
Speaker 2: that's what these situations are. I mean, you you shoot
Speaker 2: this for five weeks and then you go back home,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden the season airs and
Speaker 2: you're back out doing all of this press and all
Speaker 2: of this stuff. It's just insane.
Speaker 4: It's a roller coaster. I mean, you're living your own
Speaker 4: regular life at home, and then one day, like thirty
Speaker 4: people roll up in bands and all this equipment and
Speaker 4: all this stuff, and all of a sudden you're doing
Speaker 4: all this crazy stuff and then you're on the today show,
Speaker 4: and then you're flying around with all these Fox folks
Speaker 4: doing these different things, and it's it's you know, it's
Speaker 4: like a real high high. And then you come home

Speaker 4: that's I'd rather be doing that.
Speaker 2: You know, so you really are a family guy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure. It's the simple things that Yeah, you're at
Speaker 2: the right place. You're on a farm.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like it. I Sean will let me move in.
Speaker 2: That was amazing having you here. Thank you. Farmer Matt.
Speaker 2: How does that feel first name being farmer? Now? We
Speaker 2: talked about this before.

Speaker 4: my family.
Speaker 2: You've embraced it.
Speaker 4: I've embraced it. Yeah, I'll take it. We're happy to
Speaker 4: be invited back.
Speaker 2: The day talking to some other farmers, some other people
Speaker 2: from the show.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk with farmer Brett and Farmer Braden
Speaker 1: and farmer Sean, and we're gonna touch notes with them and.
Speaker 4: Don't take it easy on them, you know.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, to take it easy, not really.

Speaker 4: well yet, but they seem great and I'm excited for him.
Speaker 2: We are thrilled that you came to join on. So
Speaker 2: it's a pleasure meeting you.
Speaker 1: And yet no, no, okay, so we're back Brian and
Speaker 1: Kathy sitting here with Brett, another farmer. We're so excited
Speaker 1: to get into it with you here, So I want
Speaker 1: the first question for you? What was it about the show
Speaker 1: that made you want to take the leap of faith?
Speaker 1: Compared to other dating shows that are out there.
Speaker 3: I would say the main thing about this show is
Speaker 3: that you have a major wholesome component to it. You know,
Speaker 3: it's not just about you know, being promiscuous or you know,
Speaker 3: seeing what you can do or how many times you
Speaker 3: can take your shirt off. This one's more so about
Speaker 3: you know, you're bringing people into your hometown. You're trying
Speaker 3: to find the right person that fits in with who
Speaker 3: you are as a person and going from there. So
Speaker 3: you know, I don't think I would have done any
Speaker 3: other show other than this one. Really.
Speaker 2: Wow, So Brat, you were a bull rider? Did you
Speaker 2: ever break any bones?
Speaker 3: Yeah, mostly concussions, but broke ribs TOI ligaments my my forearm,
Speaker 3: my wrist, and got my legs stepped on a lot.
Speaker 3: I'm about six inches two to to be a bull rider.
Speaker 1: Can I just tell you I wrote a mechanical bull
Speaker 1: once and that ended my bull riding career, just saying.
Speaker 3: It's not the riding drinks of falling off it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: So I'm curious you mentioned finding the wholesome relationship that
Speaker 1: this is a wholesome show. So I'm guessing that you
Speaker 1: come from a wholesome family. What kind of wholesome family,
Speaker 1: what kind of household did you grow up? And tell
Speaker 1: me a little bit about it and your parents' relationship,
Speaker 1: because I'm guessing that helped inform what you were looking for.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, well, one grew up in a Christian
Speaker 3: household and that's a big part of it. And then
Speaker 3: two you, I mean, I think for all of us,
Speaker 3: actually we have you kind of model what your parents
Speaker 3: do is, as you know, your path to a good relationship,
Speaker 3: especially if they have a good relationship. So for me,
Speaker 3: it was pretty much just seeing how my parents treated
Speaker 3: each other and how they have been in their marriage
Speaker 3: my whole life, and you kind of you kind of
Speaker 3: learned from them and use that to go on.
Speaker 2: Wow, true, that's true. How many times you feel like
Speaker 2: you've been like really in love? And I know love
Speaker 2: changes as you get older. So now at this point
Speaker 2: in life compared to in your twenties, how is it different?
Speaker 3: I mean, how many times have I actually been in it?
Speaker 3: Probably once one where I you know, I was like,
Speaker 3: you know, that's probably going to be it for me,
Speaker 3: and I was young. But the older you get, like
Speaker 3: you said, it changes and you kind of understand more
Speaker 3: about relationships and how they're supposed to feel. And it's
Speaker 3: not just what I call being love struck when everything's
Speaker 3: great at the moment and then it turns out not
Speaker 3: to be so great, like you think you're in love,
Speaker 3: but six months down the road, you know it changes.
Speaker 3: And so I when I was about my mid twenties,
Speaker 3: I had a strict three month th all. So after
Speaker 3: about three months is when you start seeing your sales
Speaker 3: come out and relationships. So I always gave it three
Speaker 3: minds before I decided if that's somebody I actually wanted
Speaker 3: a date, or if.
Speaker 2: I learned I learned recently that like that not learned recently,
Speaker 2: but I like I really understood the concept of it recently.
Speaker 2: People always talk about the the honeymoon phase in a relationship.
Speaker 2: I honestly think that the honeymoon phase is how long
Speaker 2: you can fake it, fake being the person that you
Speaker 2: think the other person wants to be with. But then
Speaker 2: after a while, of course, like you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 2: get stressed out, You're gonna have a tough day that
Speaker 2: all of a sudden that mask comes off and then
Speaker 2: it's you, and then that honeymoon phase is over because
Speaker 2: now you guys are seeing who you truly are, and
Speaker 2: sometimes you don't like who you see. I think it's
Speaker 2: I think it's important to start off without that, like
Speaker 2: to just jump right in and be who you are. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I mean I do too. And that's that's a
Speaker 3: big thing about this show that I went into it with.
Speaker 3: And I told the girls on the first day, I said,
Speaker 3: I don't care what you look like with makeup on.
Speaker 3: I don't care who you are when cameras are rolling.
Speaker 3: I was like, I want to see who you are
Speaker 3: when there is nobody around.
Speaker 2: Because that's what you're gonna be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because that's what you're gonna get. And so for me,
Speaker 3: I like, I wanted to make that a point from
Speaker 3: the very beginning to where be yourself around me because
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna see who you are. We're around
Speaker 3: each other all day every day, so I'm going to
Speaker 3: figure it out eventually, See, it's better just to do
Speaker 3: it now.
Speaker 1: And then it's kind of like the dating apps that
Speaker 1: I know a lot about. When you go on a
Speaker 1: day app and you go to meet a guy and
Speaker 1: they're like twenty years older, fifty pounds heavy. You like,
Speaker 1: did you think I wouldn't notice? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well do you think I wouldn't meet you? Yeah? Exactly
Speaker 2: who you are.
Speaker 1: And like somebody said here earlier, say what you mean,
Speaker 1: mean what you say, who you are, because that's ultimately
Speaker 1: what you're going to fall in my lasting man.
Speaker 2: That's right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yourself.
Speaker 1: Okay, So those are really really important things for a relationship.
Speaker 1: And I admire you that your age, you have figured
Speaker 1: it out. I'm really impressed. But now I am from
Speaker 1: Texas and I do like tequila, so I know that
Speaker 1: you do own how'd you like to that transition? That
Speaker 1: a great segment. Okay, So I do love tequila, and
Speaker 1: there's nothing better than a tall tequila soda and a
Speaker 1: little bit of line. But you do own a tequila, Brandon.
Speaker 1: You did say you're going to send me a bottle? Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so's now been on the podcast, so it will happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said it publicly, said it publicly. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 3: send you a couple of cases.
Speaker 2: A couple of cases.
Speaker 3: Wait, they're in the Selier category. It's not a Battle
Speaker 3: of tequila. It's a selser category what drink.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 4: I'm in.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I'm in.
Speaker 3: That's what can It's.
Speaker 2: Less for me to mix.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's my question what to go with that
Speaker 1: fabulous tequila soda selter? What is your favorite favorite romantic
Speaker 1: meal to eat while sipping on one of those selters.
Speaker 2: And he's cooking it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a seltzer in particular.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm just.
Speaker 3: Favorite meal would probably be.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I love Italian food when I can get it. And
Speaker 3: if you have your favorite real Italian food, Like, what's
Speaker 3: your favorite anything?
Speaker 2: Anything Italian is? Well, like there's chicken pacata.
Speaker 3: There's chicken Pacata's way up there.
Speaker 2: For look at that. Well, too bad, you're already taken
Speaker 2: or maybe already taken or could be Italian food. It's
Speaker 2: just so simple. Yeah, and it's so good even like
Speaker 2: the crappy Italian food I can still do deal with.
Speaker 3: I'm going to the redneck answer and said fried catfish.
Speaker 1: But can I just tell you Brett fried cat fits.
Speaker 1: It's not Italian, No, it's not, but it's southern. It's Okay,
Speaker 1: so your most romantic meal is Italian.
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd say so. I'd say so will drinking tequila? Yeah,
Speaker 3: why not?
Speaker 2: I mean I agree, really I do.
Speaker 3: What's your what's your romantic meal?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: If I'm having a romantic meal, it's going to start
Speaker 1: with oysters because they are afrodisia. Yeah, start with that,
Speaker 1: and then who cares what you wait.
Speaker 2: You can't eat them, Brian can't.
Speaker 3: So I'm not big on them either, do you like
Speaker 3: not after hearing about them just being sponges.
Speaker 2: I just don't know. It's there like slippery stuff.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: Well, and it's just it's like like it's a it's
Speaker 2: a weird, like you taste the ocean. It's a like bin.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm not thank you, thank you, Brett. I
Speaker 2: like that. I feel loves him. I'll watch or eat
Speaker 2: them all day long.
Speaker 1: So your true story here. I never had a muscle.
Speaker 1: My husband loved oysters, muscles, named some other things clams.
Speaker 1: I used to look at them the way you're talking
Speaker 1: like that's disgusting. It slippery, God knows words been. We're
Speaker 1: literally raftery died of well, you know, everything else gone
Speaker 1: to hell. Let's try a muscle and I love them.
Speaker 2: You take this thing out of losing a partner, you
Speaker 2: really do. Yeah, such a way with words. All right,
Speaker 2: So Bratt, real real quick. Last question. Yeah, you're the
Speaker 2: oldest farmer on the show. Have you ever gotten close
Speaker 2: to getting married before? I mean, what is it that
Speaker 2: makes you feel like you might be ready now?
Speaker 3: I mean the closest that I've gotten was when I
Speaker 3: was twenty twenty twenty one years old, and like I said,
Speaker 3: that's you know that really young would be doing something
Speaker 3: like that. But I don't know, man, I don't settle,
Speaker 3: And uh, this isn't This wasn't me going in desperation
Speaker 3: trying to find a why or anything like that. It
Speaker 3: was more so of you know what, this is a
Speaker 3: good opportunity to meet some people that I'm never that
Speaker 3: I would have never met, and you know, if something
Speaker 3: great comes out of it, then it's a when. If
Speaker 3: something doesn't, I'm gonna go right back to doing what
Speaker 3: I was doing.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: No loss, Yeah, there's no there's no way to lose here.
Speaker 1: So you wait, you're saying you're a different I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously you are, but you're much more different now and
Speaker 1: looking for different things now. Than you were let's call
Speaker 1: it twenty one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because at twenty one, you're just looking for the
Speaker 3: hottest thing or you know, something that's fun at the time,
Speaker 3: and you don't really understand.
Speaker 2: We're back to but boots, we're back to that question.
Speaker 3: I mean, and that's part of it. And but you know,
Speaker 3: you don't really understand what you actually want because you
Speaker 3: change throughout your twenties, and like, who I was at
Speaker 3: twenty one and who I was and who I was
Speaker 3: at thirty is a completely different person and they're looking
Speaker 3: for completely different things. So and I think that's why
Speaker 3: a lot of people get in trouble nowadays, where they
Speaker 3: feel like they got to settle and jump on the
Speaker 3: marriage trend early and they end up getting divorced by
Speaker 3: twenty seven, twenty eight. And it's I mean, it's just
Speaker 3: because every it's the it's the shiny thing in front
Speaker 3: of you, right.
Speaker 2: I jumped on it early too, because my father, by
Speaker 2: the time he was twenty four, he had me and
Speaker 2: he had married my mom, who already had three kids.
Speaker 2: It was like it was like, what I'm like, your
Speaker 2: father was twenty forty four, he married a woman that
Speaker 2: had two kids and had me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then my parents got married by when they
Speaker 3: were twenty one twenty three.
Speaker 2: I got married when I was when I was like
Speaker 2: twenty nine. I was like, I gotta get like, what
Speaker 2: are you doing?
Speaker 3: Are you from around here?
Speaker 2: I'm from North Hollywood?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And it well so and I imagine I guess it's
Speaker 3: some more similar, but like in the South, like it's
Speaker 3: that's you know, one of the things you.
Speaker 2: Do, what you do?
Speaker 3: You get married young, have babies.
Speaker 1: And yeah, Brett, when I was twenty, yeah, ten days
Speaker 1: after I turned twenty, I got married and everybody and
Speaker 1: I'm from Massachusetts originally, and everybody thought I was pregnant,
Speaker 1: you know, shotgun ways it wasn't.
Speaker 2: I didn't have kids for eight and a half years.
Speaker 2: But I think you're right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and seeing the South, that would be a normal Maria,
Speaker 3: normal Marriag yes, you know. But for me, I'm just
Speaker 3: always the type not to settle for anything unless I'm
Speaker 3: one hundred percent sure about it.
Speaker 2: So well, that's.
Speaker 3: Why I'm on a dating show.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm on a dating show.
Speaker 1: And we are so glad that we've had a chance
Speaker 1: to chit chat with you today. You are an amazing man.
Speaker 1: We can't wait to see your season.
