Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload, the podcast last week that might welcome back
Speaker 1: Guys to TV Reload. As you may know, my name
Speaker 1: is Benjamin Norris and this is your podcast to get
Speaker 1: all the inside goss on the popular TV shows that
Speaker 1: you may be.
Speaker 2: Watching from around the world.
Speaker 1: Undeniably, our TV sets are a major part of our
Speaker 1: home entertainment, and yet very little is known about how
Speaker 1: our favorite shows get made. So each episode, I've been
Speaker 1: finding the guests that want to dive just that little
Speaker 1: bit deeper into the shows that they're currently making so
Speaker 1: that you can hear all their exclusive stories and gain
Speaker 1: access to the biggest names in Australian television. I want
Speaker 1: to thank you for downloading or subscribing to this podcast
Speaker 1: however you've found me.
Speaker 2: I love hearing your feedback.
Speaker 1: So make sure you leave a review or a comment
Speaker 1: on your chosen podcast platform. On today's podcast, I have Luke,
Speaker 1: Wesley and Ben who are Network ten's latest bachelors. All
Speaker 1: three had their hard launch last night on Network ten
Speaker 1: and Guys. While a lot of viewers had lost their
Speaker 1: love of this franchise, I'm here to tell you that
Speaker 1: this season is better than any other season I've seen
Speaker 1: of this show before. Our bachelor's all joined Beyond the
Speaker 1: podcast last Friday, and while there was a couple of
Speaker 1: issues with the record, I'm sure you will enjoy meeting
Speaker 1: all of these boys unfiltered and ready to unpack their
Speaker 1: time on the show. Luke the Lumberjack is a proud
Speaker 1: self proclaimed softy. He wears his heartily sleeve and often
Speaker 1: wells up at the slightest sentimental moment. Not the usual
Speaker 1: ex football player. If I can say that, while Bachelor
Speaker 1: Ben has traveled the world as a successful model in
Speaker 1: the past, it is his work now as a sustainable
Speaker 1: entrepreneur that has his feet firmly on the ground. I
Speaker 1: personally am mildly obsessed with Ben, and no doubt he's
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of fans after being on
Speaker 1: this show.
Speaker 2: Finally, we have Wez, who has a dig.
Speaker 1: Commitment to finding true love and upholding the values that
Speaker 1: he was raised with throughout his dating life. Wes has
Speaker 1: moved from Brazil to Australia and he is trying to
Speaker 1: move beyond that initial phase of trying to establish a
Speaker 1: lasting connection with someone who shares his vision of being
Speaker 1: the one boiler alerte Wesley has never had a girlfriend,
Speaker 1: which is really bizarre if you ask me, but you
Speaker 1: can hear that in his storytelling today with his lack
Speaker 1: of confidence. We will talk about their reservations signing up
Speaker 1: for The Bachelors, if they called their exes, and if
Speaker 1: their competitive nature got in the way of their dating.
Speaker 1: Whilst on screen, I'll ask about Osha Ginsburg and what
Speaker 1: he has liked to work with, does he offer help,
Speaker 1: does he give advice, and why he makes a good
Speaker 1: television host. We will find out more about the boys
Speaker 1: as I asked them all, who would most likely go
Speaker 1: on OnlyFans sign up for another reality show, and who
Speaker 1: would be most likely to marry a stranger. Plus, we
Speaker 1: will get plenty of exclusives from behind the scenes at
Speaker 1: The Bachelor's which, as I mentioned, has started on Network
Speaker 1: ten and you can catch up on tenplay if you've
Speaker 1: fallen just that little bit behind. Anyway, guys, let's bring
Speaker 1: the boys into the podcast. And while I hope you
Speaker 1: enjoy getting to know all three bachelors, I do have
Speaker 1: to say right at the start there was a bit
Speaker 1: of a technical issue, which means you're kind of joining
Speaker 1: the chat. As look, Luke is talking about his rationale
Speaker 1: of signing up to this series post his football career.
Speaker 1: Sorry guys, the recording just stopped for a second, but
Speaker 1: I'll just keep going.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sorry, So what made you want to turn you back
Speaker 2: on the footy?
Speaker 4: Oh well, I had needam while I was playing the
Speaker 4: NRL and that sort of end of my career, and
Speaker 4: then went home, and you know, I was sort of
Speaker 4: probably struggling personally in that time.
Speaker 3: In who I wasn't what I want from life.
Speaker 4: I just went back working with my old boy in
Speaker 4: the family business and sort of I suppose grounding yourself
Speaker 4: a bit to a point where I wanted to bring
Speaker 4: something stress in my life. I want a family. I
Speaker 4: want to be married and have kids and everything in
Speaker 4: the future. So just seeing like that, that time was
Speaker 4: upon me and I suppose the footy days and the
Speaker 4: young sort of party and lifestyle was yeah, well and
Speaker 4: truly behind me, and yeah, I want it more from
Speaker 4: life than that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I can tell you right away that in
Speaker 1: the first episode is a good shot of you chopping
Speaker 1: down a tree. And if you don't find any chicks,
Speaker 1: you know, with this show, I think that you could
Speaker 1: definitely put that on your gram and I think you'll
Speaker 1: be fine. Yeah, I paused it, so, yeah, I'm in trouble.
Speaker 1: I'll put it in slow mo and I won't be
Speaker 1: the first and I won't be the last doing that.
Speaker 3: You know, did the.
Speaker 1: Producers find the right women for you? Because I think
Speaker 1: the women all look quite expensive this year. I mean
Speaker 1: some of them still have fillers, but they all still
Speaker 1: feel more real than some of the women we've seen
Speaker 1: on TV before. You know, having those chats with the
Speaker 1: producers about who you were interested in, did they get
Speaker 1: it right?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 5: All the women there were beautiful. It's obviously it's obviously
Speaker 5: very hard when you know you have a limited number
Speaker 5: of women and time as well.
Speaker 3: But I think you know everyone was there for the
Speaker 3: right reason.
Speaker 5: They were really genuine girls, a really beautiful or bought
Speaker 5: something different to the table as well, so you know
Speaker 5: something there for everyone was absolutely Yeah, So I think that,
Speaker 5: you know, without without obviously knowing the future, I think
Speaker 5: they did the best job that was was possible for sure.
Speaker 2: Do you know what I love about these shows as well?
Speaker 1: I don't know if the girls were dehydrated and that's
Speaker 1: why it looked like this, But Wesley, when you came out,
Speaker 1: all the girls start licking their lips.
Speaker 2: They literally look like wolves. Maybe they'd made them dehydrated
Speaker 2: to make them do that.
Speaker 1: Like you start coming down the stairs and all of
Speaker 1: them are that.
Speaker 3: Who's this average guy here? That's what they've been Yeah.
Speaker 2: Not at all. I was like, this Brazilian guy is
Speaker 2: off tap. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they gave the girl some money, don't wait
Speaker 1: before they came on South. What you know when you
Speaker 1: were approached to do this show, Ben, you know, was
Speaker 1: there any hesitation about doing something like this?
Speaker 2: Did you have any questions when they started talking to
Speaker 2: you about it?
Speaker 6: Obviously there are some some risks involved that you think
Speaker 6: about a little bit, But you know, I was just
Speaker 6: I was a really disappoint in my life where I'm
Speaker 6: really ready to meet someone and really go all in.
Speaker 5: So overall it felt like the right time and right
Speaker 5: place for me to pull the trigger. And yeah, and
Speaker 5: it's one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Speaker 3: So I'm over the moon.
Speaker 1: Look, do you know if it doesn't work out, if
Speaker 1: you a romance and the other two like, what's the
Speaker 1: connection been?
Speaker 5: Like? Yeah, absolutely, I was like in the middle getting
Speaker 5: out everyone.
Speaker 1: What is the romance like between the three of you, Like,
Speaker 1: what kind of camaraderie have you guys managed to muster up?
Speaker 5: As it was saying, Yeah, my kids asking us if
Speaker 5: we found love, and like the answer is yes, and
Speaker 5: that's with each other.
Speaker 1: So what's really funny was that I was driving down
Speaker 1: Chapel Street in Melbourne about three months after the last
Speaker 1: Bachelor's and I saw two of the bachelors sitting there
Speaker 1: having a drink together.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were still hanging out, and I was like,
Speaker 1: there was no women there, and I was like, it
Speaker 1: looked like they're on a date.
Speaker 3: So probably probably contracted. They probably still couldn't say anyone
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it's more of a siblings type relationship between
Speaker 1: the three. Yeah, Wesley, what about the competitiveness between the
Speaker 1: three of you? Did you start to worry about you
Speaker 1: what happens if I don't? What if they find love?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 2: Was there any competitiveness between the three of you?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I guess you would have seen in the first episode.
Speaker 3: It was there was no.
Speaker 8: One owned anything, no one owned anybody, so it was
Speaker 8: like fair game for all of us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was.
Speaker 8: That was definitely competitiveness. But it was also like a
Speaker 8: it wasn't genuinely if that's a word competitive. Sorry, I'm
Speaker 8: still learning English. But yes, like I'm a big believer
Speaker 8: in what's meant to be is meant to be. So
Speaker 8: if someone is learning to you and somebody else is
Speaker 8: meant to be you know.
Speaker 3: So did I answer your question? No?
Speaker 1: No, no. Look, when you don't know English that well
Speaker 1: and you look as good as you, it's just all
Speaker 1: very sexy.
Speaker 2: It's all very Brazilian, So you.
Speaker 8: Know, gonna be honest with you, I generally don't find
Speaker 8: myself attractive, so when you see that stuff, I find
Speaker 8: so funny.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we're going to need to have that. We're
Speaker 1: going to take that conversation off the podcast, but you
Speaker 1: need you need a talking to my friend. Look what
Speaker 1: about Asher though was here? Are you able to form
Speaker 1: a relationship with him as the host? Like do you
Speaker 1: get to spend some time with him? Is he helpful
Speaker 1: throughout the process?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Like obviously that when we first came in and
Speaker 5: like they're off the bat, sort of helping us in
Speaker 5: and having a conversation with us and settling us into
Speaker 5: everything and make.
Speaker 3: Us feel comfortable because I know and I'm sure the
Speaker 3: other boys are too.
Speaker 5: Like I was, yeah, you know, nervous as yell in there,
Speaker 5: so I just was areos to come in? Had laugh,
Speaker 5: help to sue and yeah, it was there sort of,
Speaker 5: you know, for the difficult parts of the journey when
Speaker 5: you have to and goes home and everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's done this for however many years
Speaker 3: he's done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fresh though guys, like you know, he still
Speaker 1: looks like it's his first season every time, like it's
Speaker 1: a good quality for him to have that every time
Speaker 1: he turns up, he treats it like it's the first time,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 5: And he's very good at asking asking the right questions
Speaker 5: to kind of to help us, help us really open
Speaker 5: up and let the audience know kind of who we
Speaker 5: are and what we're thinking.
Speaker 3: No one can see the obvious as good as him.
Speaker 2: He's been writing the show, Wesley, that's his job. That's
Speaker 2: what he's pay.
Speaker 1: Rok walks into a room, is the first person to say,
Speaker 1: that's a frock, you know, and that's what's good about it. Ben,
Speaker 1: did you get worried about if things got too steamy
Speaker 1: what your family would think of this? Like, were you
Speaker 1: worried that maybe this is not good content for your
Speaker 1: mom or you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, mom, yeah, yeah, there'll be there'll be a couple
Speaker 3: of scenes. I'll make sure mom's busy on those nights.
Speaker 5: Those episodes I've got to bear marked and like, Mum,
Speaker 5: I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll skip this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they've pulled that one. They're playing sport
Speaker 2: tonight instead.
Speaker 3: I swear that wasn't me, Mom. They must be editor,
Speaker 3: you know hows like.
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's the thing that I'd always be
Speaker 2: really worried about.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I don't know if I could go
Speaker 1: on a dating show because I would just be the
Speaker 1: whole time thinking about my mom.
Speaker 2: But I guess you really shouldn't do that. It's not sexy.
Speaker 5: Moms want us to be happy, so things like when
Speaker 5: they when at the end, like when they see how
Speaker 5: happy and how much we've grown, it's yeah, that's that's
Speaker 5: the that's the real real win.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, we're going to see
Speaker 1: some drama with the fact that you've got all these
Speaker 1: ladies together, and are they get across the streams? Are
Speaker 1: they going to start with one and then maybe look
Speaker 1: at the other, like there is that going to be
Speaker 1: what's going to go down this year, because like when
Speaker 1: you put all those ladies together and three handsome men,
Speaker 1: I mean in the first episode, some of them don't
Speaker 1: know where to look.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's the beauty of there being three bachelors,
Speaker 5: is that the we're going to get a chance to
Speaker 5: choose as well. So it's not just us, but so
Speaker 5: you know, we did we need to put our best
Speaker 5: book forward just as much as what they're trying to
Speaker 5: do as well.
Speaker 2: I love this format.
Speaker 1: It's like the Neapolitan ice cream is the way that
Speaker 1: I like to refer to.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh gotcha.
Speaker 1: If you don't like vanilla, that's okay, because we've got
Speaker 1: chocolate and.
Speaker 3: You know what, definitely chocolate.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, Wesley, if you could be chocolate. But that
Speaker 1: makes it sound like we're not being very politically correct.
Speaker 1: But anyway, if your chocolate, what Wesley, If your chocolate,
Speaker 1: what are the other two?
Speaker 3: Oh that's that's the hard question. Hey, Well, because Vanila
Speaker 3: has vanilla has.
Speaker 2: The kind of an additional like boring, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: If my English is correct, that's.
Speaker 2: Okay, Wesley. They won't mind just tell them.
Speaker 3: Which I think they like cookies and cream.
Speaker 2: You know, he doesn't want to answer this.
Speaker 1: He's now onto, he's onto a different flavor altogether.
Speaker 3: We're all going to a bit of a special.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to. I'm aborting that.
Speaker 1: I'm aborting all ice cream chat now the special Solaus
Speaker 1: has been mentioned. Ye, what's the hardest thing about dating?
Speaker 1: How many girls are there? There's like thirty, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, how many people?
Speaker 3: Twenty four?
Speaker 2: What's the hardest thing about dating twenty four women?
Speaker 5: The hardest part was giving everyone like a good amount
Speaker 5: of time to really you're very much like trying to
Speaker 5: get to know who they are very quickly and kind
Speaker 5: of straight in, straight into it, and if there's no
Speaker 5: sparks straight away, it can be quite tricky, which can
Speaker 5: also be unfair because then it might not hit it
Speaker 5: off straight at the start, but then later on and
Speaker 5: then you notice something like down the line and that,
Speaker 5: oh I.
Speaker 3: Didn't see that. No one but everyone's dealing with nerves.
Speaker 5: But you're trying to speak to twenty four different ladies,
Speaker 5: and it's like it's really difficult.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no else in the freaking world I would do that,
Speaker 8: you know, Like I'll say that the boundaries off.
Speaker 3: We all here for a reason. We've all signed up
Speaker 3: for this, So do I see something Betty normally date's
Speaker 3: like only fifteen exactly.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm laughing at. Wesley.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I mean, you could have your own
Speaker 1: spin off show back in Brazil and you'd be dating
Speaker 1: thirty women, right.
Speaker 8: I appreciate there is no Batchelor in Brazil, but if
Speaker 8: you know someone in Brazil.
Speaker 2: Okay, well I'll call the producers.
Speaker 3: I'll just have a few friends to recommen No. But
Speaker 3: I think the hard thing.
Speaker 8: Was to kind of like get in this headspace of Okay,
Speaker 8: I'm going to be when I'm with someone, I'm fully here,
Speaker 8: I'm fully present, and I'm not.
Speaker 3: Thinking on anybody else.
Speaker 8: And if I kiss someone, that doesn't necessarily mean that
Speaker 8: I'm cheating on somebody else, because well, we've all signed
Speaker 8: up for this, you know.
Speaker 3: So that was a very freaking mindset again, just walking.
Speaker 9: That line of respect like you obviously every single person,
Speaker 9: I want to be very respectful of everybody, but you
Speaker 9: also you also want to invest and connect with people.
Speaker 9: So I was, yeah, I think it's a difficult one
Speaker 9: to walk, but yeah, I'm actually really confident.
Speaker 3: That you know, we did it really well? Yeah, so too?
Speaker 2: Is this a spoiler to ask this question? But which
Speaker 2: out of the three how does it end? Okay? Great?
Speaker 2: I know kisses.
Speaker 1: The most amount of girls out of the three of you.
Speaker 3: I think I don't kiss and tell, so you have to?
Speaker 2: That just reads like you lost count. That's all that
Speaker 2: reads like.
Speaker 3: Remember, Mum's going to be watching this. I had to
Speaker 3: keep it somewhre pg.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I want to ask you just a few
Speaker 1: quick questions which I think will help people get to
Speaker 1: know you guys a little bit better. First, one bit racy,
Speaker 1: which one of the three of you is the most
Speaker 1: likely to do only fans?
Speaker 3: That's gonna be all where don't you see me twoking?
Speaker 1: Okay, great, all right, I'm looking forward to that. And
Speaker 1: also put in slow move which one of you is
Speaker 1: more likely to marry a stranger?
Speaker 3: Stranger? What do you mean?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: Does that mean like really quick?
Speaker 2: Like just yeah?
Speaker 1: Which one of you is the most likely to you know,
Speaker 1: put it all on the line fast?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: If there was some alcohol involved, absolutely these two are
Speaker 5: pretty close married.
Speaker 1: Notting to work that out. It feels like we're falls
Speaker 1: a crowd, right, now Benning. But maybe fans are out
Speaker 1: which one of you would be the most likely to
Speaker 1: go on another reality show after doing this?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just.
Speaker 3: Dancing with the stuff. Yeah, I could show some some.
Speaker 2: Wesley. You could be the new Ricky Martin. Maybe in
Speaker 2: sing too?
Speaker 3: Actually is a triple threat.
Speaker 1: Okay, well it's definitely him. He's definitely going on another
Speaker 1: reality show. Let me tell you if you can sing,
Speaker 1: he could, and the rest of you can go into
Speaker 1: the jungle or whatever it is that's left after that.
Speaker 1: Who's most likely to be the last man standing on
Speaker 1: a night out?
Speaker 3: Yeah, trying. I'm never going home.
Speaker 1: A good one to ask you as well? Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: get all three of you to do This is what
Speaker 1: gives you, guys? The I like Luke, I will start
Speaker 1: with you when it comes to meeting a girl.
Speaker 2: What gives you out?
Speaker 5: I don't know whether you even call it an ick,
Speaker 5: but I just like I can't stand when like someone
Speaker 5: has like they won't eat a lot of foods that
Speaker 5: they're like, oh, I only eat this, I only eat that,
Speaker 5: like because I'm like, I love you, I love you
Speaker 5: heaps different foods. So like a girl's like got a
Speaker 5: very specific by to requirement. That's sort of like a yeah, bit.
Speaker 2: Of a no from me, Yeah, Ben, what gives you
Speaker 2: the ick?
Speaker 3: A lot of likes like and I'm live all the time.
Speaker 5: That kind of winds up a bit. But I think,
Speaker 5: like like just bad manners. I like, you know, if
Speaker 5: we're out, then no phone. I like someone to be present.
Speaker 5: If I'm there and I'm giving you everything, I'd like
Speaker 5: to get.
Speaker 3: That in return.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're all going to now be really
Speaker 1: conscious of saying the word like.
Speaker 2: I think you just used that in the sentence as
Speaker 2: you said it was your ick.
Speaker 3: Like when someone's like.
Speaker 1: It's when you say that to people though, you know,
Speaker 1: like back in the day when they used to audition
Speaker 1: people to do reality shows, they do these casting calls,
Speaker 1: and that was the thing was that producers wouldn't cast
Speaker 1: people if they use the word like too many times,
Speaker 1: like that would be like a veto so, but then
Speaker 1: you'd say to them trying not to say like, and
Speaker 1: then it populates the conversation.
Speaker 2: Anyway. It's a very long, boring story. I'm so glad
Speaker 2: I told it, Wesley.
Speaker 7: For you.
Speaker 3: What gives you the ear?
Speaker 8: I think when a girl complains a lot you know,
Speaker 8: like I'm like, life is too good to be true.
Speaker 8: So someone is just like always complaining. By the way,
Speaker 8: there's raining. You're like, oh yeah, that definitely gives me
Speaker 8: the because yeah, I think life is too good.
Speaker 2: I mean, you have no complaints, right, zero.
Speaker 3: Zero.
Speaker 2: Well, this show was filmed.
Speaker 1: Like a little while ago, and I was going to
Speaker 1: ask you, like, how do you keep the outcomes of
Speaker 1: this a secret? Like I mean of these girls wearing
Speaker 1: like mustaches and Fedora hats and meeting you in you know,
Speaker 1: the back of parking lots, Like if you've all found
Speaker 1: love and we don't know if you do, you know,
Speaker 1: how do you keep this a secret?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? Do you just not see the
Speaker 2: girl for a while.
Speaker 3: I'm really going to keep the secrets.
Speaker 5: It's just that people I tell who can't keep.
Speaker 1: Like organized a night in a hotel, like you know,
Speaker 1: if you found love and you've then got to wait
Speaker 1: like however long until you can go, and.
Speaker 3: This is all it's all very confidential behind the scenes stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, I feel like that's I feel like
Speaker 1: that's not a proper answer. But anyway, you know, if
Speaker 1: all of you're on like the verge of becoming kind
Speaker 1: of insta famous from being on a show like this.
Speaker 1: Are you worried about losing your anonymity? Like, is there
Speaker 1: anything now that people know who you are? Does that
Speaker 1: make you get concerned about the way in which you
Speaker 1: normally would live your life? Does it make you change
Speaker 1: the way in which you go out at night?
Speaker 5: I mean, I think I think there's going to be
Speaker 5: pros and cons to everything from you, which is I
Speaker 5: think is definitely something that we weigh up before before
Speaker 5: coming on to show up the Bachelor's But I think
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, like our friends and
Speaker 5: family and closest to us definitely know so who we are,
Speaker 5: and that's the combetti opinions that we're going to really
Speaker 5: hold on to, and that will be important, you know,
Speaker 5: coming up when we're dealing with whatever we're going to
Speaker 5: deal with coming up.
Speaker 10: You know, the only thing that I really wanted this
Speaker 10: show to change was my relationships that so I don't
Speaker 10: think yeah.
Speaker 3: Effected so much to it.
Speaker 1: I always wonder whether you guys were going on a
Speaker 1: show like this, would talk to your ex'es before doing
Speaker 1: something like this, Did you guys try and have like
Speaker 1: a conversation with any of them to get some advice
Speaker 1: on you know, what you should a relationship, or to
Speaker 1: let them know that you're doing this show with their
Speaker 1: conversations with exes.
Speaker 2: That you guys felt that was appropriate to have.
Speaker 5: I've been seeing for five years now, but it's just
Speaker 5: still out of respect. So I just so you know,
Speaker 5: I'm going to be taking because especially since it's been
Speaker 5: a long time, like just so you know, I'm going
Speaker 5: to make a move now to really try and move
Speaker 5: on and lock in, you know someone, specially in my life.
Speaker 3: I don't want you to be caught out.
Speaker 5: I wanted to be gossiped about and you hear from
Speaker 5: someone else, i'body you hear it from me.
Speaker 3: It's been about a month through everybody girlfriends and they.
Speaker 2: Only got five second phone calls.
Speaker 1: He was just literally sitting there, I'm going on the Bachelor,
Speaker 1: and going on the Bachelor.
Speaker 2: I'm going on a Bachelor.
Speaker 3: Group text man.
Speaker 5: To be honest, I actually didn't, you know, I didn't
Speaker 5: reach out to any of my axes, you know that
Speaker 5: sort of there all things their relationships I'd put to bed,
Speaker 5: and I didn't really feel you know, I was on
Speaker 5: very good terms with all of them, and I didn't
Speaker 5: really feel it was really that needed of me to
Speaker 5: reach out to sure them that, you know, I was
Speaker 5: very respectful of them all during the whole process.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I didn't know that didn't reach out.
Speaker 1: To to be really disappointed when they see that AX
Speaker 1: chopping scene. I think that's where they realized, what is
Speaker 1: the X chopping scene?
Speaker 3: To watch?
Speaker 2: You have to wait to watch.
Speaker 1: Honestly, anyway, how many times how many times of this podcast?
Speaker 1: I feel like we can't move past this? So you've
Speaker 1: been single for five years? What have you been in
Speaker 1: Antarctica where there's no ladies?
Speaker 2: What's going on? How have you been single for five years?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Quite deep when it comes to falling for someone, and
Speaker 5: I struggled really to I think I've struggled to really
Speaker 5: open up for.
Speaker 3: A while as well. I got my heart broken, so
Speaker 3: I've been quite closed off. So it's really it was
Speaker 3: hard hard for me to kind of open up.
Speaker 5: I have my heart broken a few years ago, so
Speaker 5: it took it's taken a while for me to kind
Speaker 5: of learn how to break down walls again and be
Speaker 5: opened or be ready to be in another relationship.
Speaker 1: Didn't if you reach out to other people that have
Speaker 1: been on shows like this for advice to reach out
Speaker 1: to previous bachelors, because I think what I'd find interesting
Speaker 1: is doing a show like this, you'd have to still
Speaker 1: trust your instincts and not the producers, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like the producers, I guess you could have
Speaker 1: conversations with how things are going, and they could influence
Speaker 1: things like what sort of advice did you get from
Speaker 1: anyone before coming in and doing the show, especially when
Speaker 1: it comes to stuff like should you trust your instincts
Speaker 1: or should you trust the.
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, I didn't get in any vice beforehand, mossibly
Speaker 8: because I haven't watched it, but Jad from last season
Speaker 8: due to reach out afterwards and very kind of him
Speaker 8: just offered every support and whatever he can do, because
Speaker 8: only when you go through something like this you understand.
Speaker 3: So yeah, very very kind of him.
Speaker 2: He's a good guy. I met him in a function.
Speaker 1: He was actually really lovely, very generous person, So he's
Speaker 1: a good one to touch. Before you, guys go, I
Speaker 1: want to ask you something which I ask everyone who
Speaker 1: joins the podcast, and that is what is something from
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, something that we probably won't see on TV,
Speaker 1: kind of like a behind the scenes secret of what
Speaker 1: it's like to be a bachelor on The Bachelor's.
Speaker 7: Wow there is I would see, well I heard, and
Speaker 7: I could say that we try to save everything for
Speaker 7: the camera so that the viewers can see everything for real,
Speaker 7: what's happening in real time, So we're not behind the scenes.
Speaker 5: We can't we can't like practice anything, we can't like
Speaker 5: script anything. It's like what you're see is very much
Speaker 5: what you get when the when the cameras are rolling,
Speaker 5: So we can't.
Speaker 3: Talk to each other. That's why we get together. We're like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's why they're look, it's a good conversation.
Speaker 10: Probably the only thing from behind the scenes, like I'd say,
Speaker 10: you probably missed a bit of like there was times
Speaker 10: where we usually boys a been yeah, and you just
Speaker 10: sort of like had like small talk and we sort
Speaker 10: of found some really funny moments to enjoy each other's
Speaker 10: company that none of that would sort of be on camera.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that was you know, that was sort of
Speaker 3: like little mind away. That was really enjoyable film.
Speaker 8: One of the best parts for me from behind behind
Speaker 8: the scenes were actually the crew that we got to
Speaker 8: work with.
Speaker 3: Everybody from APU styling.
Speaker 8: Camera sound like we're incredible people that actually want to
Speaker 8: be friends with forever.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that was something that people never get to see.
Speaker 8: But everyone that would behind the scenes were incredible.
Speaker 1: Or human means, do you use them as sounding boards
Speaker 1: as well? Like do you try and talk to them
Speaker 1: about what's happening with the girls, and do you the
Speaker 1: makeup artists, like you know Karen over there, Actually Karen's
Speaker 1: a bad one to choose.
Speaker 2: That not they're not allowed so they're not allowed to
Speaker 2: but they agree.
Speaker 5: And just.
Speaker 1: Really I'd be asking them. I'd be like, look, I've
Speaker 1: been on this date. I don't know where Karen keeps
Speaker 1: coming out, but Karen or Tracy, these these women sound terrible.
Speaker 1: Sorry Karen's and Tracy, But I'd be like wanting to
Speaker 1: fish for advice, like you were able to use your
Speaker 1: phone and call your friends, like you.
Speaker 2: Know, talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's locked away with a contract, guys. I just want
Speaker 1: to say good luck with this ride. I will probably
Speaker 1: not get a chance to speak to you while it
Speaker 1: continues to and when it starts to air, but I
Speaker 1: just want you to know get ready because I feel
Speaker 1: like this is a real reboot of this franchise, and
Speaker 1: I think people are going to be talking about you,
Speaker 1: especially with that acts for a long time, which actually
