I had no idea what I was getting myself into. 60 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: So do you think you would have gone on the 61 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: show if you'd seen it beforehand? 62 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: No? Look, I don't think so. If I knew what 63 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 2: it was going to be like, I wouldn't have gone 64 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: on it. But at the same time, I'm glad I did. 65 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: I think you know. So it's a bit contradicting, but 66 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: you know I wouldn't. No regrets I would wouldn't take 67 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: it back. But yeah, if I knowed myself, like if 68 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: I knew what I was like, and I definitely wouldn't 69 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 2: have I wouldn't have been in there. 70 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: So what is the process of So did you apply 71 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: for the show or were you scouting? No? 72 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: They contacted me. Oh wow, they actually contacted me, not 73 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: last year, the year before and I had gotten basically 74 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: all the way through to the end and then they said, oh, 75 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 2: look you're a loser. We didn't find anyone for you 76 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: this year. So I totally forgot about the show. Like 77 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: I still went through the whole process. I assume it 78 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: is what everybody else did with interviews and psyched tests 79 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: and questionnaires and stuff. They rang me again last year 80 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: and said are you still single? You're getting married in 81 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: six days basically, so I had six days to prepare 82 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: and yeah, it was it was crazy. Wow. 83 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little bit about what the 84 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: wedding day was, because I mean, that is such a 85 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: crazy day and from what I've heard, it takes a 86 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: very long time to actually shoot the day itself. 87 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the wedding day is actually I think they 88 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: started filming in my house that like maybe seven six 89 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 2: thirty seven in the morning, and then you know you're 90 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: not finished till probably, you know, almost midnight that night. 91 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: So that's a huge day. You do a lot of 92 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 2: stuff over and over again. And but to be honest, 93 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 2: it was beautiful. It was amazing, Like play you know, 94 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: when I play music, I do a lot of weddings 95 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: because I love doing it and I think it's such 96 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: a beautiful thing. So that part of it was actually, 97 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: you know, even though everybody knows that it's not real, 98 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 2: but there's so much anticipation and it's just this beautiful 99 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: place and every you know, you've got these amazing bow 100 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: and it's pretty hard not to get sucked right into it. 101 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: And it's like it was emotional and just yeah, it was. 102 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 2: It was really you know, you've got all your friends 103 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: and family there and so today and it's yeah, pretty crazy. 104 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 2: I was very nervous. 105 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: What were your first thoughts when you saw Casey because 106 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: obviously she's stunning, and I know sometimes the grooms in 107 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: previous series series, I suppose brides have been stitched up 108 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: with people that they might not really be into. Were 109 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: you pretty impressed when you saw her walking down the aisle? 110 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, look, I don't think there's a bloke alive 111 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 2: that that wouldn't be impressed by seeing Casey. Like, she's 112 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: absolutely gorgeous. So it was a big relief. Like I'm 113 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: not I'm not all about looks, but it was when 114 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: I've seen her, I'm just like, oh, right, cool. You know, 115 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 2: I think I think all of my exes have been 116 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: brunette too or had dark hair, so I'm like, ohy, 117 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 2: thats all.

Yeah, it was. It was 120 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: a big shot of relief and I was just, yeah, 121 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: I was over the moon. 122 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 1: Can you tell us about the process where because I 123 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: know on the show we see people like sniffing T 124 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: shirts and going through different tests to kind of find 125 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: the perfect one. We had Elizabeth on the show and 126 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: she said, yeah, in fact, that is true. Was that 127 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: kind of weird to be doing all of that sort 128 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: of stuff? 129 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: We didn't do any of that really. 130 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: Oh he went smelling people T shirts? Because I thought 131 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: that sounded pretty weird. 132 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: I don't believe that at all, like I've seen I 133 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 2: actually seen because I wanted to watch a few of 134 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: the other people's weddings, and you know, you meet these 135 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: people and you get invested in you know, you know, 136 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: they're your friends, so I wanted to watch their weddings 137 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: and stuff, and I've seen that part come up and 138 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: I was like, oh, we never did that. That might 139 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 2: have been where they went wrong. 140 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: Maybe that's why Lizzie and said worked out so well. 141 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: They liked each other's smells. 142 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Casey smells lovely. It definitely wasn't that she shouts 143 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: quite regularly. Now. 144 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: One is that came up a lot on the show 145 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: between you and Casey was, of course your housemate. Were 146 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: you surprised there was so much on the show about 147 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: all of this. 148 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just like, what is going on? And the 149 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: thing was, it was a little bit of a tricky 150 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 2: situation because like, my housemate's one of my good friends. 151 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: So I obviously asked her to come to the wedding, 152 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: but she's like, no, I hate that show and she 153 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: didn't want to come. And she's quite introverted as well, 154 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: so you know, I didn't want to force that on her. 155 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: And she'd actually been seeing one of my best like 156 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: one of my closest friends for quite a while, but 157 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: they hadn't made it official. So they have now, which 158 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: is great, but it would have been handy if it. 159 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: Like I think that's why I kind of freezed up 160 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: a bit when I was asked about it, and I 161 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: was like, yeah, just so silly. It's just such a 162 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: silly thing. And they just kept focusing on it, and 163 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: you know, it didn't really give us the chance to 164 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: talk about anything else, and they just they didn't show 165 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: any of the good times were having or you know. 166 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: But yeah, the magic of editing kind of got bad for. 167 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: Your housemate because I kind of made her look like 168 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: some kind of weird stalker putting a toy. It was 169 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: just it's a bit annoying that it's assumed that when 170 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: a man and woman can't be friends or house mate. Yeah, 171 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: did that annoy you that you can't be friends with 172 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: the girl? 173 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 2: It was?

It wasn't like a 199 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: sentimental gift. Literally, it wasn't even for me. She just 200 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: got it because she liked Rick and Morty. I just 201 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: grabbed it on the way out of the house and 202 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 2: it just became this huge fiasco. 203 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: Well, as I mentioned, I mean, our listeners don't know. 204 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: But we had a little conversation beforehand when I asked 205 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: if you wanted to be on the show, and I 206 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: said that we very much understood why you had Cornelius, 207 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: and this is of course your unicorn, because we're a 208 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: lover of soft toys as well.

I was going to ask you 325 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: because we obviously saw the finale episode and yourself and 326 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: Casey didn't seem to feature that much on it because 327 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: there's obviously a lot of other drama going on with 328 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: Michael and Stacey. But you know, the last we saw 329 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: was you guys had decided to stay together, but then 330 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: you've of course announced you'd split. What was it, if 331 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: you don't mind us asking, was it the distance between 332 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: you guys, or just you've sort of drifted apart? 333 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 2: Look, I don't think the distance helped, but no, I 334 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: just think we were completely opposite of what both of 335 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: us look for in a partner, like you know, and 336 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: to be honest, so I knew this very early on. 337 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 2: You know, you know yourself when you meet somebody. It 338 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: doesn't take six weeks to find out whether you think 339 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: you're going to be the right fit or not. And 340 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: there was just a lot of pressure coming from the 341 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: show and to give this a try, and it was 342 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 2: just it was so hard the whole way through, and 343 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: I'm like, you know, we're on the show, right, I'll 344 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: try everything I possibly can. And we got to the 345 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: end and it was a pretty hard decision. But I'm like, 346 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: maybe that is the tiniest little chance that maybe it 347 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: was the pressures of the show and the manipulation from 348 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: the producers and you know, all of this horror of stuff, 349 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: maybe that's why, you know, I'm not quite feeling it. 350 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: And I just thought, if it's it's just worth giving 351 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 2: it a little try on the outside and just basically 352 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: starting from scratch and forgetting about the show and trying 353 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: to get to know each other in a normal environment. 354 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: And it turns out the show was the glue holding 355 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: us together. It just it was so bad and like, 356 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: I'm not you know, I've got nothing bad to say 357 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: about Casey because I don't believe in that, and we're 358 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: pasted all that, but it was just it wasn't good 359 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: for either of us, and it was very, very toxic, 360 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 2: and it just it went downhill, very very quickly. So 361 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: and we weren't in a good space when we went 362 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: back to the reunion. I'll tell you that. 363 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: We'll just watching it, you could kind of tell, even 364 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: though it's obviously very manipulated what you see, that you 365 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: guys were sort of poll opposites. And now, of course 366 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: Casey's with Michael, and you've been really lovely from what 367 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 1: I've read, You've been quite supportive of the relationship. Are 368 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: you happy for them? 369 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Michael was exactly what Casey should have 370 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: been put in the experiment with. That's Casey's type. And 371 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: I'm very far from Michael, so you know, I'm stoked. 372 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: I hope they go the whole way. And you know, 373 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: it looks like they're very happy on their socials and stuff. 374 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 2: And I still talk to Casey every now and then, 375 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: and yeah, look, I just I just wish them the best, 376 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: you know, even though we didn't work and we had 377 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 2: a lot of really hard, tough times, and you still 378 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 2: form a bond if you go through something as stressful 379 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 2: as that with somebody. You know, we lived together for 380 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 2: six weeks and I just wanted to be happy, so 381 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: good on them. 382 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: Oh that's lovely. I was going to ask, obviously, Casey 383 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: and Michael, you said they sort of very much suited 384 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: each other. Is there somebody else from the Maths cast 385 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: that you think you would have suited better. 386 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 2: I've been asked this a lot, and you know, like 387 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 2: Connie was a big one that just just keeps coming up. 388 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: And they actually sent they made made me go on 389 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: a date with Connie during the show, but it wasn't aired, 390 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: and they made Casey go on a date with Johnny 391 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: as well. And look, I think Connie is awesome and 392 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: said this on the show, like very openly. I'm like, 393 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 2: Connie would fit into my friend's circles so well, like 394 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: so easily. But you know, that's probably as far as 395 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: it goes. And I think everybody on that show individually 396 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: was was pretty cool and I can see why they 397 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 2: got got picked for the show, and you know, but 398 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: on the outside, no, Look, I was pretty happy with 399 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 2: with being with Casey, Like I still felt quite lucky 400 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 2: to have got her, I guess, even though she wasn't 401 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 2: for me. 402 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: But yeah, now you say that Connie, like I can 403 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: totally see that happening. 404 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, Connie, she's super chilled, and you know, we just 405 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: we had heaps of chats on the show and we 406 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 2: just laughed our ass off and you know, it was great, 407 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 2: Like it wasn't forced. And Connie's a legend. 408 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: Not to pry because I know you get these questions 409 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: all the time, but are you still single? For all 410 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: the women listening or there or Connie, I'm just talking 411 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: about Yeah, we've got to ask. 412 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, look went out. I went from being stuck in 413 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: this experiment to coming out to having to pretend that 414 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 2: I was with my ex wife for a couple of 415 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: months before the show aired, and now we're all stuck 416 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: in isolation. So yeah, I'm very single. 417 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: Would you Sorry, this is also very random question, but 418 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: we just we've got to ask because our listeners will 419 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: want to know if The Bachelor approached you, because I 420 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: feel like you were so popular on there, would you 421 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: ever go on another reality show like The Bachelor. 422 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: I've got a lot of messages and comments about this. 423 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: I think I'm pretty scarred from the whole reality show ordeal, 424 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: and I don't know. It would have to be a 425 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 2: pretty good offer, I think. 426 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: But maybe check The Bachelor out first. 427 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: And then I have I actually have seen a couple 428 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 2: of episodes of The Batchel.

One of them was called Drew 500 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 2: and he actually took his own life, and her other grandson, 501 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 2: who the other twin, worked in the fi file industry. 502 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 2: So just it really I guess, triggered her and she 503 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 2: felt she felt compelled to get in contact with Ween 504 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 2: News and just just send it like a really lovely 505 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: message to us, just saying that she really appreciated it 506 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 2: and all this kind of stuff. So I managed to 507 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 2: I don't think, I hope, I don't get anyone in 508 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: trouble here, but I managed to get in getting content 509 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: with her through the news. I've got them to give 510 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: me her contact details and I wrote her a letter 511 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: and just you know, we became penpals and we started 512 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: writing letters to them, throw from each other, and it 513 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: was just so cute. Man. She was my Valentine On 514 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: Valentine's Day Day, She's like this eighty year old beautiful 515 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 2: lady and I sent her down like a CD and 516 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 2: heather stuff and yeah, she's just beautiful. Now we still 517 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 2: talk now. We probably call each other once every couple 518 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: of months and just check in and yeah, yeah, she's awesome. 519 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 2: It's really cool because I lost my grandma around that 520 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: time too, so it was it was kind of cool. 521 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 2: I kind of picked up a grandma. 522 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: So so did she love watching you on Maths? 523 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 2: Yeah? I did have to let her know after before 524 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 2: it aired. I'm like, ah, because she's always like she 525 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 2: doesn't have Facebook or Instagram, you know, so she's like, oh, 526 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 2: can you send me down a photo, like I want 527 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 2: to see what Kansa is like? And you know, she's 528 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: trying to get this image and I'm like, well, you'll 529 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 2: get to see it on TV now. So it is stoke. 530 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: Oh that's adorable. You have to tell us a little 531 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: bit more about your band as well, Drew Boy, because 532 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: you guys have got an amazing single coming out that 533 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm so intrigued to listen to because it's called at 534 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: First Sight, so one can only assume what it's about. 535 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so you know, I've been lucky enough. The 536 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 2: first we put out an album with that song under 537 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: the name of Drew Boy and the Sax Addicts. Don't 538 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: judge me on the name there. It was a long 539 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 2: road trip when we come up with that, but yeah, 540 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: we had a sax player. Since then, I've done a 541 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: couple of singles and music videos under the name of 542 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 2: Drew Boy, and the new band's kind of just kept 543 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 2: that name now because it's just easier. I guess it's 544 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 2: really hard to think of band names. Actually it's even 545 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 2: I consider itself quite creative, but it's super hard. 546 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: Well, there's so many that are taken as well, so 547 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: many cool names. 548 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 2: How many that's taken, and you've got to kind of 549 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 2: live with it forever, and it's like, I guess it's 550 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: kind of like naming your kid. You don't want it 551 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: to get picked on when it goes to school, you know. 552 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: I like the I thing you guys did well, oh, 553 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: thank you. 554 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: Thank you. But yeah, so you know, I wrote a 555 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: song on the show and it was kind of it 556 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 2: was an interesting process because most of my songs come 557 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: from very emotional states of mind, and I think I 558 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: really use it as therapy. So when I'm really emotional, 559 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 2: so it's normally from me love or if I've just 560 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: broken up with somebody, or like my heart's broken or 561 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: a lot of my songs are just about that. So 562 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 2: it was quite interesting trying to write about Casey when 563 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: you know, we weren't in love, and I was pretty 564 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 2: sure it wasn't going to work. So I tried to 565 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 2: write about the nice things about her and the whole 566 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 2: process of the show and just what I was kind 567 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 2: of going through in the show. So and I wanted 568 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 2: to just write something that everybody could relate to. And 569 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 2: I think the whole concept of this arranged marriage is 570 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 2: pretty far for people to understand unless you're from India 571 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 2: or something. But I think everybody can understand the concept 572 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: that everybody is a stranger until you see them for 573 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: the first time, until you meet somebody. There's a point 574 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 2: in a life where we're all strangers. So I kind 575 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 2: of I tried to write about that aspect of it. 576 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: And Yeah, I'm really really happy. It's blown me away. 577 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 2: How good It's kind of come out from a little 578 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 2: acoustic song that I and I actually cool thing about 579 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 2: it was I was sitting on the bed in front 580 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: of Casey and I was just playing the guitar, and 581 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: I was just giddling around, and I was trying to 582 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 2: tell her how everybody writes music differently. I don't know 583 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 2: how everyone writes theirs. But I'll come up with a 584 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: little riff or a little something on the guitar, and 585 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 2: then I'll build off that and then I'll add words 586 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 2: to it later, and it kind of depends on the 587 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: whole vibe of the music. And I started doing this 588 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: in front of her just to kind of explain the process. 589 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 2: And then I'm like, oh, that's actually kind of cool, 590 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 2: and I turned that into the song and then yeah, 591 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 2: I played that for the last date, Final Date when 592 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: we're on the boat. 593 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: So that's good. When can fans download the song? 594 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 2: It will be coming out very shortly. We're just waiting 595 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: on the music video to be finished. And so for 596 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: the music video, I wanted to kind of include everybody, 597 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: and I guess it's really strange hard times at the moment, 598 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 2: and I wanted to try and use the music video 599 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: as a way to kind of inject some positivity back 600 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: into the world. So yeah, I've asked for everybody to 601 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 2: send in videos of them with our loved ones and 602 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: having cyber dates and hanging out with their kids and 603 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 2: getting romantic in isolation. That's really Yeah, So we've got 604 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: quite a few submissions already. We could probably use a 605 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: few more.
