<v Speaker 2>honestly say I'm loving it. You know, respect to the

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>people that are getting sick and people lost jobs and

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that, but yeah, it's been amazing to me.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I've come back to my tiny little country town where

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I grew up. My family's all out here. They've got

0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>a sheep and cattle property and be back on the

0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>farm and just spending some really good quality times for

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 2>my family. And my little nephew is like one years

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 2>old and he's like the cutest thing in the world.

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's been amazing to me. You know, most

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 2>of my stuff with my charity and music, I can

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 2>still do that online from a laptop out here, So yeah,

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm loving it.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>That's so good. Have you done any baking, because everyone

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>seems to suddenly have become master to chefs.

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I've been luckily enough. I've been getting back into mum's

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 2>home cooking food. So I've been working a lot, so

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, big days and whether we're out the farm

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 2>or doing our online stuff. So Mum's been cooking most

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>of the meals and it's just been Yeah, it's been amazing.

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 2>It'll be a hard slog going back to cooking for myself.

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything that you've been watching or listening to

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>that you can recommend to our listeners.

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Look, I don't watch TV, so I listening to. Look,

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I've been reading. I can highly recommend a book called

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>The Twelve Rules of Life by Jordan Peterson and another

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>one called The Art of Happiness by Hold Cutler. My

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>two favorite books are very good for your mental health

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>and just the way to fulfill the positive life. So yeah,

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 2>highly recommend those two.

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>They sound like some great ones for people to get.

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 2>More wholesome than they married at first Yeah.

0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, so, had you ever seen

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 1>married at First Sight then before appearing on the show?

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 2>No? I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So do you think you would have gone on the

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 1>show if you'd seen it beforehand?

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>No? Look, I don't think so. If I knew what

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:15.519
<v Speaker 2>it was going to be like, I wouldn't have gone

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 2>on it. But at the same time, I'm glad I did.

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I think you know. So it's a bit contradicting, but

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 2>you know I wouldn't. No regrets I would wouldn't take

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 2>it back. But yeah, if I knowed myself, like if

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I knew what I was like, and I definitely wouldn't

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>have I wouldn't have been in there.

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 1>So what is the process of So did you apply

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>for the show or were you scouting? No?

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 2>They contacted me. Oh wow, they actually contacted me, not

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>last year, the year before and I had gotten basically

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 2>all the way through to the end and then they said, oh,

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 2>look you're a loser. We didn't find anyone for you

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 2>this year. So I totally forgot about the show. Like

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I still went through the whole process. I assume it

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>is what everybody else did with interviews and psyched tests

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>and questionnaires and stuff. They rang me again last year

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 2>and said are you still single? You're getting married in

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>six days basically, so I had six days to prepare

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, it was it was crazy. Wow.

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell us a little bit about what the

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>wedding day was, because I mean, that is such a

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>crazy day and from what I've heard, it takes a

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>very long time to actually shoot the day itself.

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, the wedding day is actually I think they

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>started filming in my house that like maybe seven six

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven in the morning, and then you know you're

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 2>not finished till probably, you know, almost midnight that night.

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 2>So that's a huge day. You do a lot of

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.159
<v Speaker 2>stuff over and over again. And but to be honest,

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 2>it was beautiful. It was amazing, Like play you know,

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 2>when I play music, I do a lot of weddings

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>because I love doing it and I think it's such

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful thing. So that part of it was actually,

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, even though everybody knows that it's not real,

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:57.359
<v Speaker 2>but there's so much anticipation and it's just this beautiful

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>place and every you know, you've got these amazing bow

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and it's pretty hard not to get sucked right into it.

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>And it's like it was emotional and just yeah, it was.

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 2>It was really you know, you've got all your friends

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>and family there and so today and it's yeah, pretty crazy.

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I was very nervous.

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 1>What were your first thoughts when you saw Casey because

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 1>obviously she's stunning, and I know sometimes the grooms in

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>previous series series, I suppose brides have been stitched up

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>with people that they might not really be into. Were

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you pretty impressed when you saw her walking down the aisle?

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely, look, I don't think there's a bloke alive

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 2>that that wouldn't be impressed by seeing Casey. Like, she's

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>absolutely gorgeous. So it was a big relief. Like I'm

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 2>not I'm not all about looks, but it was when

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I've seen her, I'm just like, oh, right, cool. You know,

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I think I think all of my exes have been

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 2>brunette too or had dark hair, so I'm like, ohy,

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 2>thats all. She had this beautiful smile and yeah, she's

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>absolutely gorgeous, and I've seen her eyes and I'm like, oh, yeah,

0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 2>she's got a stunning line. Yeah, it was. It was

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 2>a big shot of relief and I was just, yeah,

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I was over the moon.

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell us about the process where because I

0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>know on the show we see people like sniffing T

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>shirts and going through different tests to kind of find

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the perfect one. We had Elizabeth on the show and

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>she said, yeah, in fact, that is true. Was that

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of weird to be doing all of that sort

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:19.880
<v Speaker 1>of stuff?

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>We didn't do any of that really.

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh he went smelling people T shirts? Because I thought

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that sounded pretty weird.

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that at all, like I've seen I

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 2>actually seen because I wanted to watch a few of

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 2>the other people's weddings, and you know, you meet these

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 2>people and you get invested in you know, you know,

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>they're your friends, so I wanted to watch their weddings

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, and I've seen that part come up and

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I was like, oh, we never did that. That might

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 2>have been where they went wrong.

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's why Lizzie and said worked out so well.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>They liked each other's smells.

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Casey smells lovely. It definitely wasn't that she shouts

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 2>quite regularly. Now.

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>One is that came up a lot on the show

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>between you and Casey was, of course your housemate. Were

0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>you surprised there was so much on the show about

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>all of this.

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm just like, what is going on? And the

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>thing was, it was a little bit of a tricky

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 2>situation because like, my housemate's one of my good friends.

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 2>So I obviously asked her to come to the wedding,

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.760
<v Speaker 2>but she's like, no, I hate that show and she

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to come. And she's quite introverted as well,

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 2>so you know, I didn't want to force that on her.

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>And she'd actually been seeing one of my best like

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 2>one of my closest friends for quite a while, but

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 2>they hadn't made it official. So they have now, which

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 2>is great, but it would have been handy if it.

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Like I think that's why I kind of freezed up

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 2>a bit when I was asked about it, and I

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 2>was like, yeah, just so silly. It's just such a

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 2>silly thing. And they just kept focusing on it, and

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, it didn't really give us the chance to

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about anything else, and they just they didn't show

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>any of the good times were having or you know.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, the magic of editing kind of got bad for.

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Your housemate because I kind of made her look like

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>some kind of weird stalker putting a toy. It was

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>just it's a bit annoying that it's assumed that when

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a man and woman can't be friends or house mate. Yeah,

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>did that annoy you that you can't be friends with

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the girl?

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 2>It was? It was so and look, that whole Teddy

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Bear thing was probably the stupidest thing I've ever done,

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 2>apart from not watching masks before I went on, but

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the Teddy Bear thing, literally I just grabbed it on

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the way out of the house. It was like, like

0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, we had six days to get ready for

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 2>this wedding. We had to write bowers, I had to

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 2>go get STD checks and blood tests and all these things.

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 2>I had to like cancel all my gigs for three months.

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 2>I had to, you know, I run a charity as well,

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 2>so there was so much to do. And on the

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.319
<v Speaker 2>way to the airport, on the way back home to

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.959
<v Speaker 2>grab my bags, we've seen a motorbike accident, whether they do,

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 2>got his head split open, and I was just wigging

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 2>out and I just grabbed this teddy gone the way

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 2>out of the house and that was it. You know.

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I didn't think anything of it until we got on

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 2>the honeymoon and in case you spotted it and was

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.560
<v Speaker 2>like all over it. But it was just one of

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>those things.

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.239
<v Speaker 1>So you have to get STD checks before going on maths.

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Do you, Yeah, full full medicals, STD checks and I'm

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 2>petrified and needles, so I was, yeah, I was. I

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 2>was not in a good way.

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.079
<v Speaker 1>So you needed the Teddy Bear.

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Obviously I needed a Teddy Bear. It wasn't like a

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 2>sentimental gift. Literally, it wasn't even for me. She just

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 2>got it because she liked Rick and Morty. I just

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>grabbed it on the way out of the house and

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 2>it just became this huge fiasco.

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, as I mentioned, I mean, our listeners don't know.

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 1>But we had a little conversation beforehand when I asked

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>if you wanted to be on the show, and I

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>said that we very much understood why you had Cornelius,

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and this is of course your unicorn, because we're a

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>lover of soft toys as well. We're actually sitting in

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 1>a room with two large penguins. I know that sounds

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>really weird. That's right, Drew gets it well our listeners.

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>And what was funny was I was watching the shot

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.599
<v Speaker 1>at my house and when that scene came on with Cornelius,

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I literally text Amy and Amy's got a boyfriend. But

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I said, oh my god, Amy, you're perfect match, just

0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>on the TV. And she had texted to me too,

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.200
<v Speaker 1>not to make things awkward, but yeah, we just found

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that really amusing.

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.440
<v Speaker 2>It's funny because I've always just said weird stuff at

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 2>my house. I love having different stuff. If we have parties,

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 2>we have dress up parties, and a lot of that

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff was just kind of left over from dress up parties.

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 2>And I did an interview out here my mum and dads,

0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the other day and it was a video chat and

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.160
<v Speaker 2>someone spotted something in the background. I turned around. There

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>was all these like stuff lamas in the background. I'm like, oh, well,

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's where I got it from. We've normal.

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, yeah, you'd love our office.

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Then there is so much random stuff around, so I

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>think yeah, Because when I watched the episode where Casey

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.719
<v Speaker 1>started going through your belongings wanting to chuck stuff out,

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 1>almost had a bit of anxiety over it because I

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 1>put myself in your shoes. What was running through your

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 1>head when you saw her with some of your stuff

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:08.559
<v Speaker 1>in the bin?

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.959
<v Speaker 2>Look, I think I think that was a little thing

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>that Casey kind of fell for with the producers, the

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 2>very manipulated, manipulative sorry, and they kind of, you know,

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 2>got a going about this and like, yeah, it'll be funny,

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 2>like you know, grabby stuff and we'll chuck it out,

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>and she kind of fell for it, and yeah, look

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 2>it was it was all right. Like most of that

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 2>stuff I didn't give a shit about, and I'm like, yeah, cool,

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy for that to go, like that's dirty whatever.

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 2>But there was a couple of things there, like there

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 2>was a bow tie from my cousin's wedding, and then

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 2>a hat that was my poppies is no longer with us.

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>So there's a couple of things where I'm like, I'm

0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 2>definitely you know, these things are staying, but everything else

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 2>can go. So it was all in good fun. But yeah,

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.000
<v Speaker 2>it just it's just so, you know, one of those things,

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 2>man like what you see on this show and what

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 2>actually happens, and it can be very, very different a

0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of the time.

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, what about Cornelius though, I mean, if the

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>producers had pushed her and to throw Cornelius out, what

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:06.559
<v Speaker 1>do you think you would have done?

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.839
<v Speaker 2>No, that was hands on heads, sit on the floor,

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 2>hunger strike. Cornelius is not going anywhere. He's still there

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 2>garden the house. I haven't been in Cans for a month,

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 2>so it's.

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Probably having parties and stuff at the house.

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Probably is.

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I think we touched on it on the show. But

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>can you tell us the story behind Cornelius Cornelius?

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we we're going down to play a festival.

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.360
<v Speaker 2>I think it was grooving the move with the band,

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>and basically I was getting a heap of stuff for

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the stage, so we wanted to put on this amazing show,

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 2>and I got heap of like big glitter cannons and

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 2>all this weird stuff to just kind of throw out

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 2>into the crowd. And I've seen Cornelius and I'm like, yes, perfect.

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>So we took him down in the tour of bus

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.720
<v Speaker 2>and we were going to throw him out into the crowd,

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 2>and then we kind of all just you know, we're

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 2>taking photos with him and stuff, and then we're like, no,

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Cornelius is going to stay. He can be the band mascot.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.680
<v Speaker 2>And he just kind of ended up in my house

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>and has just sat on the couch ever since. So

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was gonna say, did you ever think to

0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>hide him? Because talking, you know, from someone who has

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a large penguin living in a house, I will hide

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 1>him when new people come over him.

0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll not get it.

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know the model Olivia Rodgers,

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>she came over to our house to do an interview.

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 1>We'd sort of set it up on the spot and

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 1>we forgot that we had, yeah, the big penguin just

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>sitting there, and we were like, oh shit, we literally

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:30.199
<v Speaker 1>the biggest weirdos.

0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know if she raised your weirdness guys.

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so did you think to hide him or were

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you like, nah, stuff it.

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>If she's like I had six days to go down

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 2>and get married, and we went straight from there to

0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 2>a honeymoon. And then within six days we'd had a honeymoon,

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.200
<v Speaker 2>our first dinner party, moved three times, and into the

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 2>first commitment ceremony, and then the next week they said,

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 2>all right, we're going to Cannes. To my wow, I'd

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 2>been away for two weeks recording new music before the show,

0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.880
<v Speaker 2>so I literally landed had six that. You know, like,

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.000
<v Speaker 2>my house is so messy. I didn't have a chance.

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:08.839
<v Speaker 2>I literally I ran in. I didn't have time to

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 2>organize a cleaner. I ran in. I'm like, you guys

0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 2>have to stay out here, like literally the whole film

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 2>crew in case you arrived at my house and I

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 2>ran in for fifteen minutes and just tried to like

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.400
<v Speaker 2>clean it up with it. I felt terrible, but there

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 2>was just no notice and so hectic, you know, like

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't.

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Even ring your housemate because it's.

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Probably my housemate was away.

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's like my nightmare. I feel like that's just

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>giving me anxiety thinking of it, because the stuff that

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you want to hide, even.

0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Just wiping down, making your house clean, you know, like

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't clean. Yeah, and you

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 2>know my housemate being away that just made things look

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 2>even more suss because they were trying to make that

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 2>a big part of the storyline and I didn't realize

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 2>how big and then but she wouldn't have gone on

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the show anyway even if she wasn't so but yeah,

0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 2>five times.

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So that's hilarious. I was going to ask you

0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>because we obviously saw the finale episode and yourself and

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Casey didn't seem to feature that much on it because

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 1>there's obviously a lot of other drama going on with

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Michael and Stacey. But you know, the last we saw

0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 1>was you guys had decided to stay together, but then

0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you've of course announced you'd split. What was it, if

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't mind us asking, was it the distance between

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys, or just you've sort of drifted apart?

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Look, I don't think the distance helped, but no, I

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>just think we were completely opposite of what both of

0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 2>us look for in a partner, like you know, and

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 2>to be honest, so I knew this very early on.

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know yourself when you meet somebody. It

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 2>doesn't take six weeks to find out whether you think

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 2>you're going to be the right fit or not. And

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 2>there was just a lot of pressure coming from the

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 2>show and to give this a try, and it was

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 2>just it was so hard the whole way through, and

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you know, we're on the show, right, I'll

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 2>try everything I possibly can. And we got to the

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 2>end and it was a pretty hard decision. But I'm like,

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe that is the tiniest little chance that maybe it

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>was the pressures of the show and the manipulation from

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 2>the producers and you know, all of this horror of stuff,

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's why, you know, I'm not quite feeling it.

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>And I just thought, if it's it's just worth giving

0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 2>it a little try on the outside and just basically

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 2>starting from scratch and forgetting about the show and trying

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>to get to know each other in a normal environment.

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 2>And it turns out the show was the glue holding

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>us together. It just it was so bad and like,

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not you know, I've got nothing bad to say

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 2>about Casey because I don't believe in that, and we're

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.760
<v Speaker 2>pasted all that, but it was just it wasn't good

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 2>for either of us, and it was very, very toxic,

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 2>and it just it went downhill, very very quickly. So

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and we weren't in a good space when we went

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 2>back to the reunion. I'll tell you that.

0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll just watching it, you could kind of tell, even

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 1>though it's obviously very manipulated what you see, that you

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>guys were sort of poll opposites. And now, of course

0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Casey's with Michael, and you've been really lovely from what

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.959
<v Speaker 1>I've read, You've been quite supportive of the relationship. Are

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you happy for them?

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think Michael was exactly what Casey should have

0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 2>been put in the experiment with. That's Casey's type. And

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm very far from Michael, so you know, I'm stoked.

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I hope they go the whole way. And you know,

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 2>it looks like they're very happy on their socials and stuff.

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:27.880
<v Speaker 2>And I still talk to Casey every now and then,

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, look, I just I just wish them the best,

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, even though we didn't work and we had

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:36.679
<v Speaker 2>a lot of really hard, tough times, and you still

0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.640
<v Speaker 2>form a bond if you go through something as stressful

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 2>as that with somebody. You know, we lived together for

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 2>six weeks and I just wanted to be happy, so

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 2>good on them.

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's lovely. I was going to ask, obviously, Casey

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 1>and Michael, you said they sort of very much suited

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.320
<v Speaker 1>each other. Is there somebody else from the Maths cast

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that you think you would have suited better.

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.919
<v Speaker 2>I've been asked this a lot, and you know, like

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Connie was a big one that just just keeps coming up.

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:08.520
<v Speaker 2>And they actually sent they made made me go on

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 2>a date with Connie during the show, but it wasn't aired,

0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and they made Casey go on a date with Johnny

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 2>as well. And look, I think Connie is awesome and

0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 2>said this on the show, like very openly. I'm like,

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Connie would fit into my friend's circles so well, like

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.679
<v Speaker 2>so easily. But you know, that's probably as far as

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 2>it goes. And I think everybody on that show individually

0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 2>was was pretty cool and I can see why they

0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.679
<v Speaker 2>got got picked for the show, and you know, but

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.040
<v Speaker 2>on the outside, no, Look, I was pretty happy with

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 2>with being with Casey, Like I still felt quite lucky

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 2>to have got her, I guess, even though she wasn't

0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:46.399
<v Speaker 2>for me.

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.679
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, now you say that Connie, like I can

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.000
<v Speaker 1>totally see that happening.

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Connie, she's super chilled, and you know, we just

0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 2>we had heaps of chats on the show and we

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.640
<v Speaker 2>just laughed our ass off and you know, it was great,

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Like it wasn't forced. And Connie's a legend.

0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Not to pry because I know you get these questions

0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 1>all the time, but are you still single? For all

0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the women listening or there or Connie, I'm just talking

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:12.320
<v Speaker 1>about Yeah, we've got to ask.

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look went out. I went from being stuck in

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 2>this experiment to coming out to having to pretend that

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I was with my ex wife for a couple of

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 2>months before the show aired, and now we're all stuck

0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:30.720
<v Speaker 2>in isolation. So yeah, I'm very single.

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Would you Sorry, this is also very random question, but

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>we just we've got to ask because our listeners will

0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>want to know if The Bachelor approached you, because I

0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like you were so popular on there, would you

0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.680
<v Speaker 1>ever go on another reality show like The Bachelor.

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I've got a lot of messages and comments about this.

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm pretty scarred from the whole reality show ordeal,

0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.240
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know. It would have to be a

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:56.879
<v Speaker 2>pretty good offer, I think.

0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 1>But maybe check The Bachelor out first.

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:02.280
<v Speaker 2>And then I have I actually have seen a couple

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:04.480
<v Speaker 2>of episodes of The Batchel. I just I just don't

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 2>watch TV like I've never I'd rather just do other stuff.

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:12.680
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, look, I don't know, I see what happens.

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been after do it, That's for sure.

0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:16.600
<v Speaker 1>There's still times.

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.879
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to never say never. You know, I'm open

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:22.040
<v Speaker 2>to all things, but yeah, I'm not sure if I'm

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 2>cut out for a reality TV.

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Well, moving on to something a little bit more important

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 1>than maths and Bachelor. We wanted to find out more

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>about your charity because it sounds so cool. I checked

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>out your website and you guys are doing some amazing stuff.

0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell us more about kick On?

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Thank you? Yeah? Yeah, look kick On. I started kick

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 2>On maybe three years ago, and you know it did

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 2>it stemmed from my wedding being called off and that

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 2>that whole thing that I went through while I was

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 2>working Fly and fly Out and you know, I just

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 2>wanted to do something and give back and kick On

0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.959
<v Speaker 2>came from that. And you know, we do school talks,

0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 2>we go out to five fix camps. Oh five fis

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Fly and fly Out like Gas and mining camps. Most

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 2>people know that, but so yeah, we get to do

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 2>all these amazing things and now, you know, just like

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.400
<v Speaker 2>everybody else, we're adapting. So we're about to bring out

0:21:15.400 --> 0:21:18.400
<v Speaker 2>some you know, online mental health talks and even some

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 2>online like suicide intervention training and toolbox talks. So that's

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 2>coming very shortly. And yeah, we're kind of spearheaded by

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.679
<v Speaker 2>a clothing brand which is kick On Clothing, which you know,

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 2>obviously it helps us fund our programs and stuff because

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're not it's kind of just funded through

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 2>myself and a couple of sponsors at the moment, and

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:42.640
<v Speaker 2>through the clothing brand, but it also creates support networks

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 2>in communities. So if anybody sees a kick On shirt

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.159
<v Speaker 2>or a hat or water bottle or whatever, they can

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 2>feel comfortable to go and start a conversation with the

0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:54.400
<v Speaker 2>person that's wearing that. And yeah, it's going really well,

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and I just yeah, I just I love it. It's

0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 2>really cool. I feel so blessed to be able to

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.399
<v Speaker 2>bounce between doing the charity work and playing music because

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I love both of them, and that both it's a

0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 2>very balanced way to leave it. I love it.

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 1>It's so cool. I did see the kick On stuff.

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like everyone should be buying that in isolation

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:14.159
<v Speaker 1>because let's be honest, we're all wearing tights and t

0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:16.919
<v Speaker 1>shirts and everything. So we'll put the link in our

0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:18.880
<v Speaker 1>show notes if anyone wants to check it out.

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm so stoked to be able to bring out the

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:24.879
<v Speaker 2>new women's Active West stuff too that it's been a

0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 2>long while coming.

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.359
<v Speaker 1>So it's so cool because I obviously I saw it

0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:30.040
<v Speaker 1>checked it out today, I was like, Wow, this stuff

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.679
<v Speaker 1>is really cool, Like I love the blue and so

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 1>you guys have done a good job. I also wanted

0:22:34.600 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 1>to ask, I saw you posted on Instagram the other

0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 1>day about a lovely lady called Doreen and it was

0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 1>just a gorgeous post. Can you tell us a little

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 1>bit about who she is and what your connection is

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 1>through kick On? Because I understand kick On was featured

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 1>on the news and that's how you guys connected. Is

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that right?

0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Dorian, She's so beautiful. So I think as Win

0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 2>News did a story on we bought out a song

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.119
<v Speaker 2>with the old band. It was called Fi Fi and

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:04.480
<v Speaker 2>it was all about living and working in the five

0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 2>file industry and the kind of linked to mental health

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:10.479
<v Speaker 2>and we were using that on the tour to promote

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:14.119
<v Speaker 2>positive mental health and basically start the conversation around it.

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 2>And basically Dorian, she's down in Cawra in New South Wales,

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:25.199
<v Speaker 2>but she had seen the news article and it really

0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:29.680
<v Speaker 2>hit home for her because she had twin grandsons. Obviously,

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.680
<v Speaker 2>my name is Drew. One of them was called Drew

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:36.639
<v Speaker 2>and he actually took his own life, and her other grandson,

0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 2>who the other twin, worked in the fi file industry.

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:43.200
<v Speaker 2>So just it really I guess, triggered her and she

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>felt she felt compelled to get in contact with Ween

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.679
<v Speaker 2>News and just just send it like a really lovely

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:52.080
<v Speaker 2>message to us, just saying that she really appreciated it

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and all this kind of stuff. So I managed to

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think, I hope, I don't get anyone in

0:23:57.560 --> 0:23:59.960
<v Speaker 2>trouble here, but I managed to get in getting content

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 2>with her through the news. I've got them to give

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 2>me her contact details and I wrote her a letter

0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 2>and just you know, we became penpals and we started

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 2>writing letters to them, throw from each other, and it

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 2>was just so cute. Man. She was my Valentine On

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Valentine's Day Day, She's like this eighty year old beautiful

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 2>lady and I sent her down like a CD and

0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:23.640
<v Speaker 2>heather stuff and yeah, she's just beautiful. Now we still

0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:26.520
<v Speaker 2>talk now. We probably call each other once every couple

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 2>of months and just check in and yeah, yeah, she's awesome.

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.639
<v Speaker 2>It's really cool because I lost my grandma around that

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 2>time too, so it was it was kind of cool.

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:36.919
<v Speaker 2>I kind of picked up a grandma.

0:24:37.080 --> 0:24:40.640
<v Speaker 1>So so did she love watching you on Maths?

0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:45.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I did have to let her know after before

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:48.639
<v Speaker 2>it aired. I'm like, ah, because she's always like she

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have Facebook or Instagram, you know, so she's like, oh,

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.200
<v Speaker 2>can you send me down a photo, like I want

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:55.040
<v Speaker 2>to see what Kansa is like? And you know, she's

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 2>trying to get this image and I'm like, well, you'll

0:24:57.600 --> 0:25:00.680
<v Speaker 2>get to see it on TV now. So it is stoke.

0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's adorable. You have to tell us a little

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 1>bit more about your band as well, Drew Boy, because

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.199
<v Speaker 1>you guys have got an amazing single coming out that

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm so intrigued to listen to because it's called at

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 1>First Sight, so one can only assume what it's about.

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, so you know, I've been lucky enough. The

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:22.359
<v Speaker 2>first we put out an album with that song under

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.639
<v Speaker 2>the name of Drew Boy and the Sax Addicts. Don't

0:25:25.680 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 2>judge me on the name there. It was a long

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:29.120
<v Speaker 2>road trip when we come up with that, but yeah,

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 2>we had a sax player. Since then, I've done a

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:34.680
<v Speaker 2>couple of singles and music videos under the name of

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Drew Boy, and the new band's kind of just kept

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.640
<v Speaker 2>that name now because it's just easier. I guess it's

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 2>really hard to think of band names. Actually it's even

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 2>I consider itself quite creative, but it's super hard.

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Well, there's so many that are taken as well, so

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:49.360
<v Speaker 1>many cool names.

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.159
<v Speaker 2>How many that's taken, and you've got to kind of

0:25:51.160 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 2>live with it forever, and it's like, I guess it's

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 2>kind of like naming your kid. You don't want it

0:25:57.080 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 2>to get picked on when it goes to school, you know.

0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I like the I thing you guys did well, oh,

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 1>thank you.

0:26:04.200 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. But yeah, so you know, I wrote a

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 2>song on the show and it was kind of it

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 2>was an interesting process because most of my songs come

0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 2>from very emotional states of mind, and I think I

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:20.240
<v Speaker 2>really use it as therapy. So when I'm really emotional,

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.919
<v Speaker 2>so it's normally from me love or if I've just

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.600
<v Speaker 2>broken up with somebody, or like my heart's broken or

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of my songs are just about that. So

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:32.160
<v Speaker 2>it was quite interesting trying to write about Casey when

0:26:32.320 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, we weren't in love, and I was pretty

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 2>sure it wasn't going to work. So I tried to

0:26:37.320 --> 0:26:40.640
<v Speaker 2>write about the nice things about her and the whole

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 2>process of the show and just what I was kind

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:48.639
<v Speaker 2>of going through in the show. So and I wanted

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:52.040
<v Speaker 2>to just write something that everybody could relate to. And

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:55.879
<v Speaker 2>I think the whole concept of this arranged marriage is

0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:59.639
<v Speaker 2>pretty far for people to understand unless you're from India

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:03.880
<v Speaker 2>or something. But I think everybody can understand the concept

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:06.960
<v Speaker 2>that everybody is a stranger until you see them for

0:27:06.960 --> 0:27:10.359
<v Speaker 2>the first time, until you meet somebody. There's a point

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 2>in a life where we're all strangers. So I kind

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 2>of I tried to write about that aspect of it.

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 2>And Yeah, I'm really really happy. It's blown me away.

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 2>How good It's kind of come out from a little

0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:25.560
<v Speaker 2>acoustic song that I and I actually cool thing about

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:27.120
<v Speaker 2>it was I was sitting on the bed in front

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of Casey and I was just playing the guitar, and

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I was just giddling around, and I was trying to

0:27:34.000 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 2>tell her how everybody writes music differently. I don't know

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:40.119
<v Speaker 2>how everyone writes theirs. But I'll come up with a

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.600
<v Speaker 2>little riff or a little something on the guitar, and

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:45.720
<v Speaker 2>then I'll build off that and then I'll add words

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 2>to it later, and it kind of depends on the

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:50.920
<v Speaker 2>whole vibe of the music. And I started doing this

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 2>in front of her just to kind of explain the process.

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.440
<v Speaker 2>And then I'm like, oh, that's actually kind of cool,

0:27:57.480 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 2>and I turned that into the song and then yeah,

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 2>I played that for the last date, Final Date when

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:04.920
<v Speaker 2>we're on the boat.

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:09.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's good. When can fans download the song?

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:11.919
<v Speaker 2>It will be coming out very shortly. We're just waiting

0:28:11.920 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 2>on the music video to be finished. And so for

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 2>the music video, I wanted to kind of include everybody,

0:28:17.800 --> 0:28:22.800
<v Speaker 2>and I guess it's really strange hard times at the moment,

0:28:22.840 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and I wanted to try and use the music video

0:28:25.840 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 2>as a way to kind of inject some positivity back

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:31.960
<v Speaker 2>into the world. So yeah, I've asked for everybody to

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 2>send in videos of them with our loved ones and

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 2>having cyber dates and hanging out with their kids and

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 2>getting romantic in isolation. That's really Yeah, So we've got

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:47.920
<v Speaker 2>quite a few submissions already. We could probably use a

0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 2>few more. If if you guys are want to sense

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and stuff in with your penguins, that would be totally acceptable.

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 1>We might have to, yeah, said something fun over with

0:28:56.920 --> 0:29:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the publicly ouse penguin lovers were have this podcast. So

0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't it be cool if we've got Cornelius and one

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 1>of our penguins together, maybe they can scarpe each other.

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, try and keep try and keep it PG.

0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Well they're both boys, but not that there's any judgment there. Yeah. Well,

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>just lastly, what can I suppose fans of yours expect

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I suppose with twenty twenty it's all been sort of

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:28.240
<v Speaker 1>thrown into whatever disarray disarray, But what can people expect

0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:30.160
