Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload the podcast last week that line. Hey guys,
Speaker 1: welcome back to TV Reload. I want to thank you
Speaker 1: for clicking and downloading. On today's episode with Farmer Burt,
Speaker 1: the cutest farmer on Farmer Wants a Wife, which started
Speaker 1: Sunday night at seven thirty on Channel seven. This fourth
Speaker 1: generation pineapple and dragon fruit farmer is impeccably mannered, selfless,
Speaker 1: and honest. I will also say he does come across
Speaker 1: a little bit shy at times, but I actually think
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of part of his charm. Farmer
Speaker 1: Burt has worked hard to take over the family farm
Speaker 1: and runs it on his own. He now wants someone to,
Speaker 1: of course, come and share it with him, which is
Speaker 1: I guess, the whole premise of the show. His ideal
Speaker 1: partner is funny, outgoing, adventurous, understands the long hours of
Speaker 1: his work, can banter and get along with everybody, especially
Speaker 1: his nana, whose disapproval could be a deal breaker. Farmer
Speaker 1: Burt will open up about his relationship history with me
Speaker 1: and explain why things haven't worked out for him in
Speaker 1: the past. We will unpack Farmer Burt's process of being
Speaker 1: cast on the show and what his family thought about
Speaker 1: putting his chances of love in the hands of television producers.
Speaker 1: We will get some interesting insights into how they pick
Speaker 1: these women to meet these eligible blokes, and how much
Speaker 1: information did Farmer Burt know about these ladies before meeting them.
Speaker 1: I'm also delighted to hear about a bromance that has
Speaker 1: formed with one of the other farmers, and we'll find
Speaker 1: out how that plays out throughout the series. There's actually
Speaker 1: so much to unpack with Farmer Burt, and if you've
Speaker 1: seen the promos, you know he's a bit of a
Speaker 1: cute batunity. So guys sit back and relax as we
Speaker 1: unpack the wonderful world of Farmer Wants a Wife for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Hey, Farmer Burt, how are you good?
Speaker 3: Thanks Burn, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm done doing very well. I actually was singing to myself.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I do a bit of singing to myself to
Speaker 1: get myself ready to do these podcast chats because I'm
Speaker 1: often sitting here by myself, and then it can come
Speaker 1: across as quite strange. So I try to embarrass myself
Speaker 1: as much as possible before the chat start to make
Speaker 1: myself feel a little bit more like I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe you would want to sing a song to start
Speaker 1: the chat.
Speaker 3: Oh no, nobody ever needs to hear anything, mate, I'm
Speaker 3: going to show you of that.
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you straight off the bat, are
Speaker 1: you ready for your life to change? Because this is
Speaker 1: a very unusual experience. I think if you're in a
Speaker 1: remote farm and you're probably not used to the big
Speaker 1: city and then all of a sudden you're kind of
Speaker 1: becoming like a television star, is that weird?
Speaker 3: It's definitely something out of the ordinary for me. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't go as far as saying as my farm's too remote.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty close to the city, believe it or not.
Speaker 3: But yeah, as far as the television and everything else does,
Speaker 3: it's definitely a very big change of scenery.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 1: Actually I've got the mapp up on my computer right now,
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at it. So you're really not that
Speaker 1: far from Brisbane, But you're also not that far from
Speaker 1: the Sunshine Coast either. I mean, it's very beautiful part
Speaker 1: of the world, but you're still close to some of
Speaker 1: the nightlife. Where would you normally go if you were
Speaker 1: looking to go and look for a woman. Would you
Speaker 1: be going down to is better? Would go to the
Speaker 1: Sunshine Coast? Which one of those areas is more suited
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, I'm not sure. I've no. I guess I've
Speaker 3: really avoided the night light for a long time now.
Speaker 3: It's well, not not so much avoided it, but just
Speaker 3: not really had a lot of time for It's MBD
Speaker 3: here and such. But I wouldn't say that I'd like,
Speaker 3: you know, look in one place over the other. But yeah,
Speaker 3: they're both. You know, I can be being cloundering like
Speaker 3: half an hour forty five minutes depending on the traffic,
Speaker 3: so it's not very far at all.
Speaker 1: So the ladies that are coming to live with you,
Speaker 1: they're not going to be like, you know, six hours
Speaker 1: away from anything that on some sort of regional you know,
Speaker 1: rex flight to try and go and see their friends.
Speaker 1: They can sort of still enjoy both sides of it,
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, yeah. And you know, my brother lives here
Speaker 3: on the farm, but he works in the Brisbane like
Speaker 3: in Brisbane City most of the time. It's not too
Speaker 3: far to go really, so yeah, yeah, I've heard it
Speaker 3: a few times, you know, I don't really want to
Speaker 3: change anybody's life style, and it's worked hard to be
Speaker 3: sort of where they are in their life, so it
Speaker 3: is quite convenient for that being so central to pretty
Speaker 3: busy business.
Speaker 1: I mean, your multi generational pineapple farmer. Was there ever
Speaker 1: a choice for you to do anything else? Did your
Speaker 1: parents say, well, your name's Bert and that's the tradition
Speaker 1: in our family. Now you run the pineapple farm or
Speaker 1: were you allowed to sort of make that decision for yourself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I was always able to make the decision myself.
Speaker 3: You know that there was never any pressure or an
Speaker 3: expectation as such to take it over. Obviously they would
Speaker 3: love for it to continue. So you know when I
Speaker 3: did come back start my own sort of farming, then yeah,
Speaker 3: they were pretty happy with that. But yeah, I took
Speaker 3: off for a few years prior to and lived and
Speaker 3: you know, got to experience something other than the farm,
Speaker 3: I suppose. You know, when my dad started farming, he
Speaker 3: was fifteen or something like that and norly ever really
Speaker 3: did was farm. So he was always very supportive of me,
Speaker 3: you know, going out and doing something a little bit different,
Speaker 3: getting the different experiences disease and stuff like that. Before
Speaker 3: I you know, really tied yourself down because once you
Speaker 3: once you commit to the farms, that's a relationship in itself.
Speaker 3: You are committing to pull a full time job at
Speaker 3: a really signed job. You hear all the time. You know,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter if it's a weekend or not. You shift.
Speaker 3: The work's there to be done. It's got to be done,
Speaker 3: so you can't do it tomorrow next week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a relationship, of course, it's a full time relationship.
Speaker 2: I mean, what made you want to do this show?
Speaker 1: Though? I mean I was watching the first few episodes
Speaker 1: and you are quite shy in the way that you
Speaker 1: come across, which I actually think is quite endearing. I
Speaker 1: think audiences will be quite endeared to that part of you,
Speaker 1: which you might be a little bit embarrassed about. But
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's actually quite heartwarming. But did
Speaker 1: someone dob you in? Did you apply? Like? How do
Speaker 1: you find yourself on a show like this?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was definitely. I had my hat thrown in
Speaker 3: the ring for me from some of my lovely friends.
Speaker 3: But it's always been always been a bit of a
Speaker 3: I don't know, I guess a bit of not a
Speaker 3: running joke. But you know, every year someone like, come on,
Speaker 3: do it, do it, or you know, will tag me
Speaker 3: in something with it, and I've always been like, you know,
Speaker 3: it's too busy or you know, it's not for me.
Speaker 3: And this year, they you know, sort of did the
Speaker 3: application for me. And then you know, I was contacted
Speaker 3: and you know, just chatting with my dad about it,
Speaker 3: and he's like, you know what, but why not watch
Speaker 3: what's the worst that could happen? You know? And at
Speaker 3: that point, I was pretty happy with where I was
Speaker 3: in the farm, you know, work wise, and my personal
Speaker 3: life as well, and you know, I just thought, hey,
Speaker 3: why not why not do something that's you know, completely
Speaker 3: out of your comfort zone? And but I guess how
Speaker 3: it started.
Speaker 1: Well, your family okay with you joining this show. I
Speaker 1: mean you mentioned your dad there that I can imagine
Speaker 1: once it's all actually happening to reality, I'm assuming that
Speaker 1: your mom or you know, other people in your family
Speaker 1: might have had some questions. Did they do they sit
Speaker 1: you down and sort of ask a lot of questions
Speaker 1: about why are you doing this show?
Speaker 3: Not really, they were all, you know, very very supportive
Speaker 3: from day one of the whole idea. A bit Mum
Speaker 3: always just once what's best for me, and you know,
Speaker 3: and she'll say, oh, you know, you'd never catch me
Speaker 3: on television and stuff like that, and I was thinking, man,
Speaker 3: you probably would never catch me on TV. But here
Speaker 3: we are.
Speaker 1: They're probably just happy that you were sitting them down
Speaker 1: and saying, I'm doing farmer wants a wife, because the
Speaker 1: reaction to being married at first side or the Bachelor
Speaker 1: might have been a little bit different.
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, I would think. So. Look, I'm certainly never
Speaker 3: going to live it down. I think I've given my
Speaker 3: brother all the ammunition in the world to make fun
Speaker 3: of me for a little while here. So no, but
Speaker 3: it's yeah, like I said, they were all all very
Speaker 3: supportive of the entire thing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, which I think is good. Well, look
Speaker 1: the thing for me and I think this is what
Speaker 1: a lot of people are talking about. You are a
Speaker 1: very good looking rooster. I have to say, how have
Speaker 1: you become? How are you single at this point in
Speaker 1: your life? Like you're thirty and you could you could
Speaker 1: leave the farm, you could leave the pineapples for a
Speaker 1: career in modeling. You know what's happened?
Speaker 2: How are you Sinkle of this book?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Ma?
Speaker 3: All I can say is they've got some pretty bloody
Speaker 3: good cameras these days. It's maybe a little bit of
Speaker 3: camera trickery, but look, I did you know once my
Speaker 3: time have a very long term relationship, and well.
Speaker 1: That's the question I want to know, Like what's your
Speaker 1: dating history? I mean, how many of you? So you've
Speaker 1: had a long term relationship in the past, is what
Speaker 1: you're saying.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 1: Like why did that work out?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you recall, but a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago we had this big thing called COVID
Speaker 3: and that she was Canadian and I was dating her
Speaker 3: while so I lived over there, and you know, she
Speaker 3: was supposed to move here and all of that, and
Speaker 3: you know, once the border is shut and there was
Speaker 3: no light at the end of the tunnel of when
Speaker 3: those borders were to be reopened, and kind of likes
Speaker 3: of that. So you know, eventually we had to have
Speaker 3: that difficult conversation of yeah, ending it, and you know
Speaker 3: we're still very very good friends and all of that.
Speaker 3: You know, we're always thankful for her, but yeah, just
Speaker 3: I guess the world had different ideas for it.
Speaker 1: So what's a more awkward conversation? The relationship is over?
Speaker 1: Or the relationship is over and now I'm going on
Speaker 1: farmer once a wife, Like, let's just hope that she
Speaker 1: doesn't have Channel seven over there, right.
Speaker 3: Oh, no, she knows about it. She has a good laugh.
Speaker 3: I know when I first told her that that I
Speaker 3: was going on, and she actually didn't believe me, and
Speaker 3: that went on for a little while, but I guess
Speaker 3: she probably knew me better than anyone at that point.
Speaker 3: So yeah, she had a good laugh about it. And yeah,
Speaker 3: now it's all good.
Speaker 1: What about some of the big hurdles when it comes
Speaker 1: to finding love in the past, Like, has there were
Speaker 1: there any red flags for you? What are what are
Speaker 1: the things that have gone wrong in the past with
Speaker 1: looking for love?
Speaker 3: Well, to be quite honest with you, there hasn't been many.
Speaker 3: She was probably my only real girlfriend, you know. They
Speaker 3: had the high school sweetheart, which you know most of
Speaker 3: us did. And then yeah, when I moved to Canada
Speaker 3: many years ago, that just just to you know, have
Speaker 3: a bit of a couple of gap years and experience
Speaker 3: something different. Yeah, and I just sort of hit it
Speaker 3: up pretty good and we're together for a long time.
Speaker 3: And yeah, so the Jewish Show, I'd say, you know,
Speaker 3: really my only real girlfriend as such.
Speaker 1: So I love the way that you get all about
Speaker 1: it as though it's a real girlfriend, like it might
Speaker 1: be an imaginary girlfriend, like you know, maybe you've had
Speaker 1: some imaginary girlfriends on the farm, just driving around on
Speaker 1: the track to talking to the missus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1: The way in which the girls get chosen to be
Speaker 1: on this show is actually quite interesting because they get
Speaker 1: to watch a bio video, They get to get to
Speaker 1: know you a little bit before they choose whether or
Speaker 1: not they want to go on the show. What did
Speaker 1: you know about these girls before they turned up?
Speaker 3: I guess just a few little bits and pieces. I'd
Speaker 3: say it's quite similar to what they would have seen
Speaker 3: of me, you know, like a little bit of a
Speaker 3: bio and you know some some you know, hobbies, interest,
Speaker 3: a little bit of career stuff, stuff like that. You
Speaker 3: know enough to sort of, I guess, have a grasp
Speaker 3: of who they may be. And then it's the rest
Speaker 3: of it's all up in the air from there.
Speaker 1: And the people who make this show, you know, the
Speaker 1: producers of the real matchmakers. You know, there's no love
Speaker 1: experts there that are a part of the show. What
Speaker 1: sort of interrogation did you get to have with those
Speaker 1: sorts of people just to make sure that they find
Speaker 1: the right partners for you?
Speaker 3: I guess a lot of the stuff they really want
Speaker 3: to know is the values that you want in being
Speaker 3: a partner. I suppose. I guess if you valued aren't
Speaker 3: really lining up, then it's probably probably not going to
Speaker 3: be an overly long relationship. So it's a lot of
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. Interest who these people are, and
Speaker 3: if our interests and everything align. That's both.
Speaker 1: Did you have any deal breakers, like, you know, did
Speaker 1: you say no tattoos or did you say age bracket,
Speaker 1: like don't send me on a date with a forty
Speaker 1: or a fifty year old? Like did you say there
Speaker 1: was any deal breakers like that?
Speaker 3: You give a bit of an age range of sort
Speaker 3: of where you're looking, And look, I don't really have
Speaker 3: many things that are a deal breaks me or like
Speaker 3: tattoos are fine. I don't personally have any. But I'm
Speaker 3: a pretty laid back guy, so it's not a lot
Speaker 3: really bothers me.
Speaker 1: Imagine if there was a farmer, you know, there was
Speaker 1: like a you know, into mills, and so they were like, yep,
Speaker 1: I'm twenty two, you know, I'm from Caloundra and I'm
Speaker 1: into ladies over fifty. Do you reckon that'll make a
Speaker 1: good a good season A farmer wants a wife, I
Speaker 1: guess with a different show.
Speaker 3: On the maturity of the blow. But I think that
Speaker 3: would be dancing on the edge of more of a
Speaker 3: married at first sight or something like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, the women that you're matched with are very
Speaker 1: close to your age. I did notice that how did
Speaker 1: you go with connecting with some of the girls that
Speaker 1: were just that little bit younger? I think Morgan's the
Speaker 1: youngest and she's like twenty two. Was that too much
Speaker 1: of an age gap for you?
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, age only is a number,
Speaker 3: and it's more so about the connection that you have
Speaker 3: with the person. And I guess the maturity levels and
Speaker 3: interest and stuff like that have to align. And I
Speaker 3: wouldn't say that it was, you know, one hundred percent
Speaker 3: in age thing, just more so finding a connection with
Speaker 3: you know, who you were going to bring back to
Speaker 3: the farm rather than.
Speaker 1: The Were there any big surprises, like was there anyone
Speaker 1: that turned up and you were like, that's not this
Speaker 1: is not who I thought she was going to be.
Speaker 1: You were you shocked by any of the ladies that
Speaker 1: turned up or were you thinking chef's kiss well done.
Speaker 3: Oh, I had a lot of feelings. It was. It
Speaker 3: was very overwhelming. I'm not sure how many times you
Speaker 3: sat down for speed dating with you multiple different women
Speaker 3: back to back, so it's it's quite an intimidating day
Speaker 3: and just trying to, you know, absorb as much as
Speaker 3: you can from each conversation. And yeah, I guess then
Speaker 3: go to picking you know who you're going to bring
Speaker 3: back to the farm. Okay, I don't think you could
Speaker 3: really say that you could be too shocked by anything
Speaker 3: because you don't know the girls until you get there,
Speaker 3: so it's all it's all up in the air. Until
Speaker 3: that point, it was it was a wild ride, let's
Speaker 3: put it that way.
Speaker 1: I do love a wild ride. I always think that
Speaker 1: makes good television. But you know, speaking of wild rides,
Speaker 1: is there a chance that when you're all in that
Speaker 1: hall in the first episode, that you know, do the
Speaker 1: producers tell you not to look at farmer Joe or
Speaker 1: Farmer Dustin or farmer Dean girls like do you think
Speaker 1: that can become quite difficult? Or did were you standing
Speaker 1: there thinking, well, I'm happy with my ladies but there's
Speaker 1: a couple of ladies over there with farmer Tom. How
Speaker 1: do they make sure that you're staying within, you know,
Speaker 1: your own cattle.
Speaker 3: I'm not too sure. It's not like I was told
Speaker 3: to do something or not to do anything like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're going to have a glance around the
Speaker 3: room and just see who's there. And I can't speak
Speaker 3: for any of the other boys, but I do get
Speaker 3: to know all these people at the end of the day, right,
Speaker 3: so when you know, we meet at different different times
Speaker 3: throughout the show, as I'm sure you know, and yeah,
Speaker 3: you're forming friendships as all of them as well. But no,
Speaker 3: I was definitely very happy with that came down to
Speaker 3: meet me and yeah, I'm not about to go out
Speaker 3: there and make things any harder us for sure.
Speaker 1: Did you learn anything about yourself while you were filming?
Speaker 1: Like the interesting thing about this is such an unusual experience.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not something that everyone gets a chance
Speaker 1: to do. Well.
Speaker 3: I definitely know I still get an uncomfortable talk about
Speaker 3: my feeling, so that do more of that, but hey,
Speaker 3: some of it exactly exactly. No, Look, I guess towards
Speaker 3: the end of the series and all that you do
Speaker 3: do get more so used to you know, the cameras
Speaker 3: being around and all of the questions and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: But I'm certainly no pro.
Speaker 1: You came across Like I was talking about this earlier,
Speaker 1: like you seemed more shy than the other farmers. But
Speaker 1: I just was wondering, is that just who you are
Speaker 1: by nature? Like do you stay that shy throughout the series?
Speaker 1: Or do eventually you get used to the cameras and
Speaker 1: the style of the show and you sort of relax
Speaker 1: a little bit more Like I mean, I'm still not
Speaker 1: saying this is a bad thing. I actually think after
Speaker 1: watching the first few episodes that Australia is going to
Speaker 1: love you the most because you're just a genuine guy
Speaker 1: just being yourself.
Speaker 3: Look, I haven't even seen a single episode myself, so
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what there is on there.
Speaker 1: But but how did you feel what I was filming
Speaker 1: it though, because you know, as they're going along, you know,
Speaker 1: did you find that at the start you were like,
Speaker 1: you know, fuck me, these cameras are annoying and then
Speaker 1: they run down the end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, at the start of it was very difficult
Speaker 3: for me. I guess I am quite a reserved person
Speaker 3: to begin with. But you know, after I've known someone
Speaker 3: for a while there I do open up a lot more.
Speaker 3: And I love having a good time with all my
Speaker 3: mates and stuff. Definitely, meeting you people is always been
Speaker 3: you know, I do come across probably a little bit
Speaker 3: more shy and reserved, I suppose, and then yeah, once
Speaker 3: once the walls come down, then I don't know, you
Speaker 3: probably tell me shut up pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: The other thing that I think is interesting about this
Speaker 1: show is, you know, you get to meet these other farmers.
Speaker 1: You know, there's you've got what is it, there's five farmers.
Speaker 1: Did talking to them throughout the experience help you with
Speaker 1: understanding the process a little bit more to make it
Speaker 1: feel a little bit easier if you could reach out
Speaker 1: to them and find out how they're going. Have you
Speaker 1: walked away with the bromance from one of these one
Speaker 1: of the other farmers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look all the boys, we all get along really well.
Speaker 3: It's a great bunch of guys, and you know, it's
Speaker 3: an experience that not a lot of people have had,
Speaker 3: and having those guys around and you can just have
Speaker 3: a chat with and you know, share share the experience
Speaker 3: or I guess validated feeling that you might be feeling
Speaker 3: is normal. I suppose. So, yeah, it's really great, and yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah we all get along really well. Say we're going
Speaker 3: to be friends for life.
Speaker 1: Do you think that Tom might be a bit young,
Speaker 1: like he's twenty two and he's looking for a wife.
Speaker 1: Did you pull him aside and say, listen, twenty two,
Speaker 1: come back when you're thirty, or do you think it's
Speaker 1: too young at twenty two to be looking for forever relationship.
Speaker 2: And a wife?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Tom, Tommy, he's twenty two going on seventy that last
Speaker 3: he's I actually get along with Tom really really well,
Speaker 3: and he's a great guy, and he's got a world
Speaker 3: of knowledge behind him. You know, he's been doing it
Speaker 3: for a long time, and I really respect him putting
Speaker 3: himself out there and giving him a crack. But he's
Speaker 3: definitely a very very mature twenty two year old. You know,
Speaker 3: he's I personally, if I didn't know his age, I
Speaker 3: definitely wouldn't have said twenty two. Again, age is just
Speaker 3: a number, and it's more so out your experiences and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. And I tell you what, Tommy, he
Speaker 3: holds himself really well for a twenty two year old
Speaker 3: bloke and you know he's obviously here for a reason
Speaker 3: and wanting to find that person. Good on him, And yeah,
Speaker 3: I guess everyone after watch and find.
Speaker 1: Out, you know, the one thing I just want to like,
Speaker 1: I'm getting close to finishing my questions, but you need
Speaker 1: to help me out with this. The show always has
Speaker 1: these farmers in the plain shirts and the a kubra hats.
Speaker 1: Is that actually how you dress on the pineapple farm
Speaker 1: where you're from? I mean, the look is amazing. It
Speaker 1: makes you look very much like you've stepped off the
Speaker 1: set of Legends of the Four with you know, you
Speaker 1: all look kind of like Brad Pitt. Is that that
Speaker 1: the sort of clothes that you're wearing on the farm
Speaker 1: or a Channel seven styling you up a little bit?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Look, I definitely normally covered in a lot more
Speaker 3: grease and oil and stuff you probably wouldn't recognize if
Speaker 3: I was walking down the street. Yeah. Like I said,
Speaker 3: the cameras are damn.
Speaker 2: Good, is it? Aaron Williams?
Speaker 1: Do do you go walk away with an Aaron Williams
Speaker 1: contract at the end of this, because I guarantee you
Speaker 1: for you personally, you know, probably one of the best
Speaker 1: looking farmers that we've ever in on the show. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that brands like that are going to come for you.
Speaker 1: Would you ever find yourself, you know, doing a brand
Speaker 1: deal with someone like that.
Speaker 3: Oh look, if I and Williams wants to throw me
Speaker 3: a pair of boots, I'm absolutely not going to say.
Speaker 3: I think they're damn expensive.
Speaker 2: No life insurance on them.
Speaker 1: I've been told so, Like, you know, that's a pretty
Speaker 1: expensive boot and a good boot to have.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, I've got a pair of them, and
Speaker 3: I don't know. Sometimes I worry about wearing them. It's
Speaker 3: three hundred dollars in each. I never spend that much
Speaker 3: money on cloth.
Speaker 2: But they've got insurance on them.
Speaker 1: Like take them out and scuff them up, because you
Speaker 1: can take them back to the store and they'll fix them.
Speaker 1: It's a pity that Durren Williams don't make women, you know,
Speaker 1: they could do the same thing after wearing and tearing
Speaker 1: them a little bit.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: That makes me sound terrible. Scratch that from the podcast.
Speaker 1: Scratch that from the podcast.
Speaker 3: Don't put my name in front of that cop.
Speaker 1: I think I walk away looking bad from that, you know,
Speaker 1: But it's actually been so lovely to chat with you
Speaker 1: and get to know you a little bit better, because
Speaker 1: I think, like a lot of Australia, I'm so excited
Speaker 1: to see how this show is.
Speaker 2: Going to go.
Speaker 1: Before I'll let you go, there's something I ask everyone
Speaker 1: who joins the podcast, what is something from behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: something kind of like a behind the scenes secret on
Speaker 1: what it's like to make Farmer wants a wife?
Speaker 3: For me? Personally, I would say difficult. You know, I
Speaker 3: would have to obviously run run my farm while also filming,
Speaker 3: and you know, I'm harvesting pineapples and spraying and all
Speaker 3: of that, and you know, I've got you know, a
Speaker 3: crew of you know, fifteen or so guys at certain points,
Speaker 3: so just managing that, you know, you got to jump
Speaker 3: up and you know I'd work, you know, really late
Speaker 3: in for the evenings, you know, a lot of the
Speaker 3: time till two or three in the morning. Then I'm
Speaker 3: back up and trying to look presentable in front of
Speaker 3: a camera, having a coffee with the girls in the morning,
Speaker 3: you know, and and just keeping the whole business side
Speaker 3: of things going. It's I guess, yeah, it's just super demanding.
Speaker 2: Didn't be ready to.
Speaker 1: Think, well, I'm going to be away for twelve weeks.
Speaker 1: My mind's going to be somewhere else. I need to
Speaker 1: find another farmer Burt out there and get him to
Speaker 1: fill in for you. Ah.
Speaker 3: Look, it's I guess I'm a little bit of a
Speaker 3: control freak, and there's there's certain things that I can't
Speaker 3: let go of on the far under. I guess that
Speaker 3: more so the you know, really really important jobs that
Speaker 3: you can't buger up most definitely. You know, I had
Speaker 3: my brother helping me out and he doesn't even work
Speaker 3: on the farm, so he would do some spraying for me,
Speaker 3: and obviously my mild man he carried it for me
Speaker 3: there for a long time. And I've got a farm
Speaker 3: manager and he you know, sort of manages all my
Speaker 3: employees and that during the harvest thing. But like I say,
Speaker 3: just those really important jobs and stuff, but you just
Speaker 3: can't leave or you're not ready to let go of yet.
Speaker 3: I don't like to be able to blame somebody for
Speaker 3: something that's gone wrong, even though that might not be
Speaker 3: the direct cause of it. But for me personally, I
Speaker 3: know that if I've done all the spraying, and I've
Speaker 3: done all of this, that's the important part I can
Speaker 3: only blame myself if it doesn't go comeing out of
Speaker 3: the way that I wanted it to.
Speaker 2: I'm just ticking off a little red flag here.
Speaker 1: You did say you're a control Frank might want to
Speaker 1: let some of the ladies know not.
Speaker 3: In any other part of my life other than in
Speaker 3: my business. Let's just take that part clear. Other than that,
Speaker 3: I'm a very laid back.
Speaker 1: Guy because I love that I'm always trying to doupe
Speaker 1: you into something that you actually don't believe at all.
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the fact that you've jumped in to
Speaker 1: say no, no, no, I'm not I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: co signing on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, don't don't put my autograph there, mate.
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you so much for
Speaker 1: being so generous with your time and chatting with me
Speaker 1: this morning. I have absolutely loved it and I can't
Speaker 1: wait to watch the show. So good luck with it,
Speaker 1: and I hope you find it.
Speaker 3: Why well, you know I can't give away anything, but
Speaker 3: you will have to wait and see.
Speaker 1: Okay, no spoilers, no spoilers, all right.
Speaker 3: I'll let you get back to the plan of spoilers.
Speaker 3: You get me in troubles
