WEBVTT - MINI! Josh from MAFS Claps Back at Melissa and Rumours He's Had Affair With Another Wife

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Monday, I have I won the pick up. Britt Laura

0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and Mitch head into Chemistlare House today. Great savings every day.

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>How are we all feeling after that bombshell episode of

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>Married at First Sight last night?

0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:10.400
<v Speaker 3>It has been wild.

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 4>I am still I'm very surprised about the whole allowing

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 4>people to go home without actually choosing to leave, you know, like,

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, they had that rule where unless both people

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 4>have said leave, if one person says stay, you're stuck forever.

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 5>They broke the rule last night.

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Josh and Melissa had a real interesting lounge session.

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>Is that what they call them lounge sessions?

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 5>We can call it a lounge Yeah.

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was rough. They both left, first time in

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>maths history to both be allowed to leave, and they're gone.

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>They're out of the competition. Josh actually joins us. Now

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>we had to go straight to the source. Josh. See,

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>hi buddy, welcome to the pickup.

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Mitch, it's nice to meet You're nice peing

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 2>you too, Brittain Laura.

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 6>Hi, Josh, Hey, Josh, look what a huge night.

0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 3>I can't imagine how you're feeling. But how do you

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 3>feel that.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 6>You were the first person in math's history that the

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:54.319
<v Speaker 6>experts let go.

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I don't feel like Lebron smashing the

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 2>points scoring record. But it was a difficult episode to watch.

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>It was. It was also difficult to live as well.

0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 6>Well.

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Melissa spoke to Carlin Jackie O this morning and we

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 4>heard her say this, and.

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.679
<v Speaker 3>I took sex off the table. I was like, right,

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 3>I want to get to know this guy.

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's just seeing me as this only this sex siren,

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 4>and there's more elements to me.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.119
<v Speaker 5>There was no kissing. It wasn't it was no interesting.

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 3>It was just a very transaction the prostitute.

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.119
<v Speaker 5>Right, So that's what it meant. It was it was

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 5>no passion, it was and I knew that Josh had

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 5>clicked off.

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 4>How does it make you feel when you hear that?

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 4>And also is that what happened? Was there no kissing

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 4>at all during intimacy Week?

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:40.320
<v Speaker 2>That's inaccurate. There was physical intimacy during during Intimacy Week,

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>there was other forms of intimacy. So that that's a

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>complete mischaracterization and representation of what the week was like.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's her choice. That's not who I am.

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't really want to talk down to any of

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff.

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, Josh, the part that I found really interesting

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>was that you said that she limited your tea, your books,

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 1>and your intimacy, which kind of sounds like what Laura

0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>does with her kids. Like it kind of felt like

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>she was no books, no iPad, and no chicken nuggets.

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 5>Like you tail up off the ground and tell up

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 5>off the ground, and.

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 1>That's to Matt, not even the kids. Did you feel

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>like maybe you felt she was treating you less of

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 1>a man and more like a child.

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>It was I mean, as I said on the counts,

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 2>it was about the forms of control, right, because if

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you look at those things in isolation, they're kind of

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, like maybe they're understandable, but when you lay

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 2>them over the top. That was the point that I

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 2>was trying to make that I wasn't able to connect

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>with the outside world, whether it be through my TV,

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 2>through my phone or reading books. It was it was difficult.

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 5>Do you do you think, and I think this is

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 5>a big one.

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 4>Everyone always comes off these shows and says, oh, I've

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:45.799
<v Speaker 4>got a bad edit.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 5>That's not who I really am.

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Blame it on the edit every time.

0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Do you think the editor of Melissa has been fair

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 4>or would you say, look, it's been unfairly harsh.

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I probably break that, probably break that down two ways.

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I think that people are being very unfair to Smell

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 2>in general. I think that she's copying a lot of

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>bullying online, which I don't agree with, and I hope

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 2>people do stop that that just continuates to perpetuate a cycle.

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>That's the first thing. The second thing that i'd say

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>is that one thing I've always maintained throughout the experiment,

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>and not just just Melsia, but everyone, is that if

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>you give them the content of the way that you

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>act and the things that you say, you can't really

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>complain about the edit because it's not like it's computer generated,

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Like they don't insert the words that you say or

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 2>make you say the things you've actually said them. So

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that when that comes back to you

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>you should be surprised because you did say those things.

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 4>So reading between the lines, I think we're getting that

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 4>the edit is fair. And the other thing I wanted

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 4>to ask, and it's because I mean it was mentioned

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 4>to this morning on radio, but also I've seen it

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 4>in the news.

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 5>Aren't you in a relationship with Lyndall? Now?

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>No, Lyndall and I are just friends. We're just friends.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>There is nothing going on there at all.

0:03:58.520 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 5>So what do you think?

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 3>Because it's all it's you know, watch this space. The

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 3>evidence is coming out. They're going to be showing that

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 3>they're together. What do you think they're talking about.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea what that evidence is. I mean,

0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>as I mentioned it the reunion, and you know I

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>mentioned it since when I came off the experiment, I

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>worked very hard on myself to try to understand what

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>it was that I had gone through and when I

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 2>was kind of getting out of it and how I

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>could improve myself. And then when I came off sorry,

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 2>and then when I would come off the experiment, I

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of reach out to them and just say, look,

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>this is this is how I felt. If you feel

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 2>this way, then you know, I just know that you're

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 2>not alive. And so that was I mean, I reached

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>out to everyone like that.

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 6>H it's I feel like you've left and you've got

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 6>a lot of love, like you have a lot of support,

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 6>and it would have been it was hard to watch,

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 6>so it would have been really hard to watch back.

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 3>Do you think now living through it rewatching it. Do

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 3>you think you would go back and do it again?

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I did. I asked that by friends and family. I

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I think probably if I did go back again,

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>I'd probably be more, probably more assertive about the type

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 2>of person that maybe that I wanted to be with.

0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, during the application process, I was pretty I

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 2>was pretty open about, you know, like the type of

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 2>person that I would you know, I could kind of

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 2>see myself spending the rest of my life with. And yeah,

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I probably think i'd I'd do that probably more definitively

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 2>the next time if I.

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you'd feel like I want to be able to

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 3>watch TV.

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to how to I've got a kindle, and

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I needed to be charged at all times. But I'm

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 1>going to address the elephant in the room here, Like

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you did sign up for a TV show. So I'd

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>think to myself, if I said I want someone who

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 1>isn't hyper sexual or doesn't put as much importance on

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that in the same way that I do, They're going

0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to match you up with someone who is the complete opposite,

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 1>because that's what a TV show does. They want the ratings. Yeah,

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and I'm not blaming you, Josh but I'm

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>just saying, surely you knew there'd be a certain element

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>of they're going to flip this back on me to

0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>get ratings.

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Right. Yeah, Well, there's two points i'd say to them. It's

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 2>the first thing is that I am also a sexual person.

0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 2>That's just as I said on the show. That is

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 2>a private matter between my wife and I, and that's

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 2>what I was trying to explain there. But the second

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 2>point that I say is that I understand that mass

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 2>has its own reputation and with an audience of it

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>either being negative or positive, that I can still come

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 2>into the experiment and try to be myself and genuine

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 2>to myself. I shouldn't have to change just because there's

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a camera pointing at me.

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good call. You know what I found interesting as well,

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>when you were sitting there and you made your points,

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>all the boys sitting behind you on the benches, the

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 1>benchwarmers were all clapping and they were on your team,

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>which made me think, I don't know, does Melissa not

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>have the best reputation with the rest of the cast,

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>because they all seemed to be very much team Josh.

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure I think that they were responding to

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>what they were hearing at the moment. I mean, there's

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 2>one thing that you haven't seen from as an audience.

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 2>But the girls were also supportive of me as well.

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>They did really nice. No.

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 5>I saw that last night.

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.599
<v Speaker 4>I thought I thought it was very very one sided.

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.679
<v Speaker 4>I thought everyone that was in that roomo's team Josh.

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 4>But it was still very hard to watch, you know,

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 4>seeing you be so upset, seeing how it had all unfolded,
