Speaker 1: What have you eaten in the last forty eight hours
Speaker 1: that has made you fart non stop around the house? Edit,
Speaker 1: It's just it's constant. I can hear it from across
Speaker 1: the apartment. I'm in the bedroom in.
Speaker 2: The living room, to be it's a smaller apartment.
Speaker 3: This is what it sounds like.
Speaker 1: It's like a whales making a mating call.
Speaker 3: Pretty willing, is that you?
Speaker 1: And it's just Laura relaxing on the couch with wine
Speaker 1: in hand, of poor children, lollers in your arms, going
Speaker 1: please someone rescue me.
Speaker 2: Hi guys, Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode
Speaker 2: of Live Uncut. I'm Laura, and I'm really sad that
Speaker 2: it's not Brittany you to.
Speaker 1: Those part is made bus that come over making sure
Speaker 1: everything's okay.
Speaker 3: It's fine, buddy, it's fine, okay.
Speaker 2: I'm really sorry that that's how we started this episode.
Speaker 2: I'm really sorry if we're in lockdown. We've been spending
Speaker 2: a lot of time together, too much time.
Speaker 3: It's good to be back, is it, Yeah? It is.
Speaker 3: It's always nice to get the call up.
Speaker 2: Well, we have a very very special episode for you today,
Speaker 2: and that is because we are getting to know our
Speaker 2: brand spanking new pilot, Captain Jimmy. We have Jimmy Nicholson
Speaker 2: on the episode and we're going to get to know
Speaker 2: a little bit more about Australia's brand new bachelor.
Speaker 1: I always get a little bit jealous when the new
Speaker 1: bachelor comes around.
Speaker 2: Why is it because you're like, you see the new
Speaker 2: girls and you're like, oh, maybe those girls are hotter
Speaker 2: than my girls.
Speaker 1: No one's hotter than you. Well, as you pull out
Speaker 1: a clump of hair from your head.
Speaker 2: I have postpartum hair loss.
Speaker 3: You are stunning, my darling.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Our love for each other has gotten deeper
Speaker 2: over the years, very deep.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: But I'm very excited for the new Bachelor. It's just
Speaker 1: it's interesting that, you know, all eyes are on this
Speaker 1: new guy and I'm this old, haggard, dad, boded ex bachelor.
Speaker 3: He's like, you remember me. I used to be pretty and.
Speaker 2: Handsome making TikTok videos.
Speaker 3: That's all I've got now.
Speaker 2: It is a very big thanks to Starbucks at home,
Speaker 2: who are bringing you this content. And we were supposed
Speaker 2: to be sitting down with Jimmy and having a heart
Speaker 2: to heart over a cup of coffee. However, because of COVID.
Speaker 2: We've had to do this in a very safer COVID
Speaker 2: safe way. So this is a zoom interview now, and
Speaker 2: Matt and I are just sitting here having a Starbucks
Speaker 2: fine Espresso capsule coffee. Now, Matt, do you want to
Speaker 2: just tell everyone before we.
Speaker 3: Sorry continue, I want you.
Speaker 2: To tell everyone before we start. How do you have
Speaker 2: your coffee in the morning these days?
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that disgusting. You don't like it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we get our coffees mixed up and you have
Speaker 1: a sip of mine and it looks like you've just
Speaker 1: had a sip of petrol. But my coffee is a
Speaker 1: flat white large with three shots.
Speaker 2: It's not that I feel like it's a super petrol.
Speaker 2: I feel like my balls just got blown off, Like
Speaker 2: I literally feel like I am jacked.
Speaker 3: On pre workout. I love it.
Speaker 2: And then he spends half an hour in the toilet afterwards.
Speaker 2: So if you're going to come in with the fart
Speaker 2: jokes about me, that's what you do with your mornings.
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed talking to Jimmy. And obviously they're not
Speaker 1: going to pick a crap bloke to be the bachelor.
Speaker 1: They're always going to pick someone who's you know, he's
Speaker 1: very intelligent, very well spoken, but he is delightful, he
Speaker 1: really is.
Speaker 2: And we did actually put a call out to you
Speaker 2: guys to get all your questions, things that you wanted
Speaker 2: to know about Jimmy before we sat down with him. Now,
Speaker 2: there were some very questionable questions that came in. One
Speaker 2: of our listeners wrote in asking us to ask Jimmy
Speaker 2: for her bra back. We didn't ask him that. I
Speaker 2: didn't want to put the guy on the spot, but
Speaker 2: we did ask him all the things about his past,
Speaker 2: about his past relationships, about his upbringing, why he wanted.
Speaker 3: To do the show, whether person he's after.
Speaker 2: He's in love now and he is very very much
Speaker 2: in love. His face is the face of man who's
Speaker 2: very happy. So we're really excited to share this little
Speaker 2: bonus episode with you. And next week is when The
Speaker 2: Bachelor starts, So it starts on Wednesday, the twenty first.
Speaker 2: That is going to be the first episode where we
Speaker 2: can get a real taste of who Jimmy Nicholson is.
Speaker 3: On Channel ten as well.
Speaker 2: Laura Byrn, thank you for that.
Speaker 1: Those playing at home question for you. You don't have
Speaker 1: to answer this, but I'm going to put you.
Speaker 3: On the spot.
Speaker 1: Will we do more podcast episodes on The Bachelor doing
Speaker 1: little recaps?
Speaker 3: Do you think we will? Or will we just give
Speaker 3: it a bit of a wide berth? What do you think?
Speaker 2: Okay, so we put this out there to you guys
Speaker 2: as well. We are considering doing a Bachelor recap episode
Speaker 2: each week now. We haven't completely decided yet whether or
Speaker 2: not that's going to happen, but it's in the works potentially.
Speaker 1: We if only you lived with somebody who could also
Speaker 1: podcast co host with you.
Speaker 3: I mean, I wonder who it could be.
Speaker 2: Maybe you know what they say, never work with children,
Speaker 2: animals or Maddie Jay. Anyway, guys, let's get into the
Speaker 2: chat with Jimmy today. We have here, the man, the myth,
Speaker 2: the legend, the one and only. We have Jimmy Nicholson,
Speaker 2: who is our brand spanking new pilot, Jimmy joining us
Speaker 2: on this season of the Bachelor. Jimmy, Welcome to life
Speaker 2: on Cut.
Speaker 4: Laura, Maddie, lovely to meet you both, and thanks for
Speaker 4: having me here.
Speaker 2: It's very interesting that this is the way that we're
Speaker 2: meeting over a zoom call.
Speaker 3: This interview could go any which way.
Speaker 4: Jimmy, Oh yeah, I'm ready for it. Should I bring
Speaker 4: my new partner in as well?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: You know, we want to meet number.
Speaker 2: One out.
Speaker 3: Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Laura did say, she said, just remember this is my podcast,
Speaker 1: not yours, So I'm on my best behavior today.
Speaker 4: So we know who wears the pants in this relationship,
Speaker 4: then right, you could establish that.
Speaker 2: Well, we're sitting here on zoom, so I means debatable
Speaker 2: whether either of us are wearing pants right now. But
Speaker 2: the way that we always kick off every single episode
Speaker 2: that we do is we start with an accidentally unfiltered story,
Speaker 2: which is basically just you sharing with us your most
Speaker 2: embarrassing story, and we're here for it.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm still trying to defend myself on this one.
Speaker 5: To this day, I think I was about fourteen, maybe
Speaker 5: it probably would have been fifteen. I was getting ready
Speaker 5: to go to like my first party. The theme was
Speaker 5: pimps and hose, so I wasn't sure what to wear.
Speaker 5: And back in the day, so we're at that house
Speaker 5: we're living in, so Dad does all the washing and
Speaker 5: like cleaning in the house. It's a very modern household
Speaker 5: my family set up anyway. So Dad's outside and I
Speaker 5: didn't realize. He was outside hanging up the washing on
Speaker 5: the line, and I was inside and searched on the computer.
Speaker 5: Pimps and hose those days, like the pop up thing
Speaker 5: was big. Anyway, as I searched, I pressed, like you know,
Speaker 5: search on Google, and this website popped up, you know
Speaker 5: back in the day where you click on one link and
Speaker 5: then suddenly like the pop up. It just my whole
Speaker 5: computer screen was filled with the most like heavy pawn
Speaker 5: to see as a fourteen year old.
Speaker 4: And anyway, and some pretty like some acts that.
Speaker 5: I didn't even think existed at that at that age.
Speaker 4: And as that all popped up, Dad came in from outside.
Speaker 4: It was dark. He came in and walked in and
Speaker 4: he's like oh, And I was like oh oh. And
Speaker 4: he's like, well, what is that?
Speaker 5: And like our families, like mum's a psychologist, we're a
Speaker 5: really cruisy family. You guys will see you'll meet my
Speaker 5: parents on the show that they're really really relaxed. But
Speaker 5: it was so awkward because Dad obviously saw he thought I.
Speaker 4: Was having some special Jimmy time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like under normal circumstances, if it was normal porn,
Speaker 5: he could probably be like Okay, that's like, that's acceptable.
Speaker 5: He's young exploring his you know, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: But this is really full on stuff. So I spent
Speaker 5: years and years defending myself and I still think I'm
Speaker 5: defending myself to this day that I actually wasn't searching
Speaker 5: that stuff.
Speaker 2: So Jimmy, look, we're not gonna shame you if your fetishes.
Speaker 2: But also this is a very elaborate story that you
Speaker 2: have come up with to try and cover up the
Speaker 2: fact that you were googling porn when you were fourteen.
Speaker 4: Like, well, look, I mean, I'll be honest, I probably was,
Speaker 4: but not this stuff.
Speaker 3: What did you end not to the party?
Speaker 2: He went as a hope, Oh.
Speaker 4: I can't remember. I'm too traumatized. I probably didn't go
Speaker 4: too traumatized from that little incident with dad.
Speaker 1: Jeez, hey, Jimmy, quick question when it comes to coffee,
Speaker 1: how do you take yours hot cap?
Speaker 5: Which I have been told is incredibly feminine, but I'm
Speaker 5: going to roll with it.
Speaker 2: Which do you know what, considering that you're a Bondai boy,
Speaker 2: I'm actually really impressed by how normal your coffee order is.
Speaker 2: Was expecting some like sort of chiric larte or something.
Speaker 4: I saw a late with half an equal, yeah, and
Speaker 4: it was I do a pink keep cut. You know.
Speaker 2: Caring for the environments very important. But I want to
Speaker 2: go back. So this whole purpose of this episode was
Speaker 2: because we wanted to give our listeners an insight into
Speaker 2: who you are, all the reasons why you wanted to
Speaker 2: do the show in the first place. But let's wind
Speaker 2: it right back to your childhood. How like your upbringing.
Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit about who Jimmy was before
Speaker 2: Jimmy was a pilot.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm watching lots of port.
Speaker 4: Is this after the porn addictional?
Speaker 5: Before after a traumatizing event when I was fourteen with
Speaker 5: my dad. From then onwards, look grew up on all
Speaker 5: the beaches, typical kind of beaches like style, a lot
Speaker 5: of time at the beach, spent a whole bunch of
Speaker 5: time on pit water, cruising around on my tinny with
Speaker 5: my mates.
Speaker 4: So that pretty normal childhood.
Speaker 5: Because I was just like little tanned looking kid, but
Speaker 5: kind of like I used to I think I was
Speaker 5: a bit teased.
Speaker 4: Like I changed schools early.
Speaker 5: On, so I went from Avalon to Mona of our
Speaker 5: school because my sister, the Golden Child got into the
Speaker 5: classes there, which is like the it was called the
Speaker 5: OC class anyway, so I had to move schools. I
Speaker 5: spent my first like the early days at Mona of
Speaker 5: our public school, hanging out with my sister and Reese's
Speaker 5: and lunch because I didn't have any friends. So that
Speaker 5: was a bit of a rough little but then I
Speaker 5: established myself. I got there, it was all right, probably
Speaker 5: a bit of a different Jimmy that you see now,
Speaker 5: and then through high school was right into my exercise
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: I always knew I wanted to fly.
Speaker 5: That's in the family, so dad flies, My uncle was
Speaker 5: a pilot, cousin's a pilot, grandfather was a pilot. So yeah,
Speaker 5: it was kind of, you know, it was the obvious progression.
Speaker 5: But I finished school and I didn't want to goal
Speaker 5: into aviation because you know, you could lose your medical
Speaker 5: or something and then you screwed. So I went and
Speaker 5: got a degree, finished that and then started flying. And
Speaker 5: I've worked for a regional airline for a little bit
Speaker 5: and then got a gig flying the jets with Jetstar.
Speaker 4: So rest is history.
Speaker 1: I think the good thing about growing up with an
Speaker 1: older sister is the fact that it gives you a
Speaker 1: real advantage when it comes to talking to girls and
Speaker 1: understanding the opposite sex.
Speaker 4: Yes, I would agree with that.
Speaker 5: I was definitely brought up by my sister and my
Speaker 5: mum and they're both psychologists.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, you two, so you're in trouble.
Speaker 4: Nothing's off limits. So it's been good.
Speaker 5: It's nice to have that open relationship with my mum
Speaker 5: and my sister were I can talk about like sexual things,
Speaker 5: anything and justsch it's all good.
Speaker 2: Well, I know that Matt is asking these questions and
Speaker 2: it comes from like his own personal relationship with his
Speaker 2: sister and his mum. He's really really close with them.
Speaker 2: And I think when we went through our experience with
Speaker 2: the Bachelor, the one person who he leaned on so
Speaker 2: heavily was his sister for her support and her guidance.
Speaker 2: And I mean every time we have an argument now
Speaker 2: he still goes through his success. She's that point of
Speaker 2: compact for him. But Jimmy, we did when we put
Speaker 2: out a call out telling our audience that you were
Speaker 2: coming on the podcast, we did ask our listeners if
Speaker 2: they had any questions for you. Now, it would seem
Speaker 2: that maybe you were a bit of a Bachelor before
Speaker 2: you were the Bachelor.
Speaker 4: Oh, here we go.
Speaker 2: So we had a couple of people slates, but no
Speaker 2: the one I wanted to bring up, and that's because
Speaker 2: she's not here to defend herself. Brittany Hockley heard you
Speaker 2: guys matched on Tinder. They have had a couple of chats.
Speaker 2: What happened there?
Speaker 4: I actually think it was hinge.
Speaker 5: I haven't watched a whole lot of Bachelor, but I
Speaker 5: did watch your season and then Honey Badger's season. I
Speaker 5: got around as well because I thought it was really
Speaker 5: funny and I tried to watch a few days. Anyway,
Speaker 5: I remember seeing Brittany on there and I was like,
Speaker 5: she's absolutely stunning.
Speaker 4: Why didn't you pick her? Or?
Speaker 5: You know, years later, I was in a relationship and
Speaker 5: then came out of a long term relationship. I've been
Speaker 5: single for a few years, and then you know, got
Speaker 5: on the apps as a lot of people did last year,
Speaker 5: and I think I matched with Brittany and I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: she's the chick from the Bachelor. Anyway, we were going
Speaker 5: to go on a date at a coffee day and I
Speaker 5: think she flaked me. From memory, I'm pretty sure she
Speaker 5: flaked me, I know outrage.
Speaker 2: Brit was pretty good at picking really crappy guys to date.
Speaker 2: This is going back last year. She's very happy in
Speaker 2: a relationship now, but any like normal, decent guy that
Speaker 2: came along she could find a good excuse not to
Speaker 2: go on that date. So maybe that, like that's like
Speaker 2: a tick in your corner or tick in your box.
Speaker 5: Well, obviously my dating app game wasn't too strong because
Speaker 5: I was still single up until well recently. Maybe I
Speaker 5: came across as boring. So I'll wait for an apology
Speaker 5: from Britt for flaking on me.
Speaker 2: She'll slide into your DMS. Can you tell us have
Speaker 2: you had a horrendous or terrible dating story that you
Speaker 2: can share.
Speaker 4: I've had one.
Speaker 5: It didn't eventuate to a date, but there was one
Speaker 5: particular girl who I can't remember how I met. I
Speaker 5: think it might have just been on Instagram. But I
Speaker 5: suggested that we go on a date, and I was like, cool,
Speaker 5: so and going into it first date, you know you're
Speaker 5: going to pay as a guy, and I've got no
Speaker 5: problem with that. But I think, like I wanted to
Speaker 5: suggest where we go, so I love Italian food, so
Speaker 5: I was like, let's go to like a little cozy
Speaker 5: Italian place, you know, I have a drink, have some dinner.
Speaker 5: And she wrote back and said, oh, what about this
Speaker 5: place and suggest to it and googled it literally the
Speaker 5: most expensive restaurant in Sydney. And then I was like, oh,
Speaker 5: and I don't really like fine dying anyway, but also
Speaker 5: this place was like hugely expensive.
Speaker 4: I think I would have been paying like six hundred bucks. God,
Speaker 4: and so I.
Speaker 5: Was like, oh, I just thought maybe Italian that first date,
Speaker 5: you know, like let's keep it kind of low key.
Speaker 5: And then she's like, what about this place and then
Speaker 5: suggested the second most expensive restaurant in Sydney, and I
Speaker 5: was just like, So I went to my I had
Speaker 5: a female roommate then, and I was like, Alisa, what's
Speaker 5: the go here? Like am I having a shaka here?
Speaker 5: Like should I be? Should I be going? And she
Speaker 5: was like no way, like she's just taking you for
Speaker 5: a ride. When I said suggested that the Italian place
Speaker 5: might be more appropriate, she said, well, don't you like
Speaker 5: good food? And I was like I do like good food,
Speaker 5: but you know, so in the end I just said
Speaker 5: to her, Hey, look, I think we might just give
Speaker 5: this miss sure, guys used to you might be used
Speaker 5: to guys like taking to these places and stuff, but
Speaker 5: you know, I just want to.
Speaker 4: Get to know someone.
Speaker 5: And even with my long term X, like we would
Speaker 5: go to those places on like special occasions, so I'm
Speaker 5: not going to take some random So anyway, it didn't
Speaker 5: eventuate in a date, and that's the rest of it.
Speaker 4: I called it off. Well.
Speaker 1: I thought being a captain, every first date would just be, hey,
Speaker 1: what do you want to come into my plane? That
Speaker 1: would be the suggestion that I would throw out every
Speaker 1: single time.
Speaker 4: You can't bring out all the big guns in the
Speaker 4: first day.
Speaker 2: See, I reckon. You probably had a photo of yourself
Speaker 2: on your Tinder profile of you as a pilot, and
Speaker 2: she was like, this guy's a baller. He's going to
Speaker 2: take me to a rest. But also I Matt and
Speaker 2: I were having this conversation earlier, so you kind of
Speaker 2: get lulled as the girl on the Bachelor, you get
Speaker 2: lulled into this false sense of lag fancy fancy dates.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like all of the stuff. Now fast forward
Speaker 2: four and a half years later, We've got two kids,
Speaker 2: a massive dog, we live in a two bedroom apartment.
Speaker 2: She got very, very real, but you get to still
Speaker 2: take your girls on dates like the dates that you
Speaker 2: would do on The Bachelor.
Speaker 4: True, I get.
Speaker 5: That, Yeah, I mean, look, I'd love to take my
Speaker 5: girl flying when we're both announced and the finales over.
Speaker 4: That'd be awesome.
Speaker 5: But also, like I think some of the most low
Speaker 5: key days dates are isis Like, I mean, I'm curious
Speaker 5: you guys going through the process together. What was the
Speaker 5: first date that you went on after the whole theories?
Speaker 1: I think thinking back, it was as simple as going
Speaker 1: to your sister's place for lunch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean things are still pretty weird when
Speaker 2: the show first finishes and then you can be out
Speaker 2: in the world together. You almost don't want to be
Speaker 2: out in the world together because there's so many paps
Speaker 2: and there's just so like you feel like everyone's watching you.
Speaker 2: So for us, we kind of just spent so much
Speaker 2: time by ourselves, like in our own home, doing nothing
Speaker 2: like it was like and that for us was what
Speaker 2: we wanted.
Speaker 1: Because I think, yeah, do you remember, I mean, like
Speaker 1: the peak of interest with paparazzi is just after the
Speaker 1: show finishes. Now they won't even look twice at us.
Speaker 1: But I remember driving to your sisters.
Speaker 2: I could literally walk out of the house naked and
Speaker 2: no one would give a bus and they'd be like,
Speaker 2: that's a crazy person.
Speaker 4: Again crazy.
Speaker 1: But when it came to that date, we had like
Speaker 1: six cars. It was like a modicade of cars following us.
Speaker 3: It was crazy.
Speaker 1: So it's just, you know, doing anything low key is
Speaker 1: what's most exciting and appealing after the show.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's interesting, Yeah, because it's to be tough. You
Speaker 4: go through You're doing all.
Speaker 5: These amazing dates where you like, no date is off
Speaker 5: the cards. You're doing all these incredible things, and then
Speaker 5: all of a sudden like finishes and it say like,
Speaker 5: oh what do you want to do?
Speaker 4: Oh should we go to the park?
Speaker 2: Or I think it's actually a really nice adjustment, like
Speaker 2: you know you do, especially if that's not a world
Speaker 2: that you're used to, Like for me, being in that
Speaker 2: batch situation and like you know, going on the helicopters
Speaker 2: and having these really lavish experiences, that's not normal for me,
Speaker 2: and if anything, sometimes those things make me feel a
Speaker 2: bit uncomfortable. So it was I loved being able to
Speaker 2: come off the back of the show and just have
Speaker 2: the normal things and really give the normal relationship a go,
Speaker 2: but you guys aren't there yet because you would be. Well,
Speaker 2: I like that we've kind of skipped ahead one. I'm
Speaker 2: very happy that you're in love and that you've found
Speaker 2: someone and you chose someone. Yeah, me too, But you
Speaker 2: guys would currently be in a situation where you're not
Speaker 2: able to see each other, Like you can obviously text
Speaker 2: and stuff, but you can't be together right now.
Speaker 1: Actually, Jimmy, when it comes to her name in your phone,
Speaker 1: do you obviously you can't have a real name, because
Speaker 1: if that pops up, people will see it and it
Speaker 1: will give it away. Do you have a fake name
Speaker 1: that you're using at the moment.
Speaker 4: I've got a fake name.
Speaker 5: She's got a fake name that I referred to as
Speaker 5: but actually I had to change it. It was a
Speaker 5: fake female name, but it was someone May. Apparently it
Speaker 5: was too obvious. So now she's a male name in
Speaker 5: my phone. Some sending some really very lovey dovey messages
Speaker 5: to a male name.
Speaker 2: David has very sexy legs.
Speaker 4: Good to hear it, David, love her.
Speaker 1: Your dad is going to see your phone and there's
Speaker 1: going to be like Russ and the message is like
Speaker 1: I love you and miss you so much. Your dad's
Speaker 1: like line is going on.
Speaker 2: Jimmy, can you tell us did you apply for the
Speaker 2: show or did you get approached to do it?
Speaker 5: I was approached, So I had a message on Instagram
Speaker 5: one day from a talent scout and it just said, Hey,
Speaker 5: would you be interested in going on a dating show?
Speaker 5: I wrote back and said, it depends which one, because
Speaker 5: there's a lot of dating shows out there, and some
Speaker 5: of them I absolutely wouldn't go on. I had eight
Speaker 5: months off work last year, so I had a lot
Speaker 5: of time to think, and like, I had that really
Speaker 5: important of time to myself as well that you need
Speaker 5: after a long term relationship, where I needed to go
Speaker 5: off and travel by myself and do all those kup
Speaker 5: of things that are really important to do before you
Speaker 5: actually settle down and get married, you know, learn to
Speaker 5: live for learning mornings, waking up by yourself, all that
Speaker 5: kind of stuff like you want to It sounds weird,
Speaker 5: but I feel like I needed to learn to live
Speaker 5: with myself outside of a relationship before I got into
Speaker 5: the final relationship. So it came at a really good time.
Speaker 5: I'd had like enough time being single and doing my
Speaker 5: own thing, and yeah, I got the message and I
Speaker 5: was like, Okay, maybe this is like there's a sign here,
Speaker 5: so I'm just gonna roll with it and it probably
Speaker 5: won't work out.
Speaker 4: They probably pick someone else or whatever. One thing led
Speaker 4: to another and I got the gig.
Speaker 1: So what hoops did they make you jump through to
Speaker 1: get the role? Because I had about twelve interviews even
Speaker 1: though I've been on the Bachelorette. Oh really, how was
Speaker 1: your process of being interviewed?
Speaker 2: So he was like, though they wanted me.
Speaker 4: Problem they asked me to.
Speaker 5: So initially you do some like skype interviews and stuff
Speaker 5: like that with some of the talent people, and they
Speaker 5: were asking about your dating history, you know. I think
Speaker 5: they wanted to find out motivations all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5: Once they realized that I was genuine, I guess, and
Speaker 5: then I actually do want to meet someone and maybe
Speaker 5: do it. A day in the life video of Jimmy.
Speaker 5: I just literally like filmed myself from waking up driving
Speaker 5: a Parmi where my parents live, going for a surf,
Speaker 5: a lot of like hero shirt off stuff. But I
Speaker 5: was just like, ah, this is like I can never
Speaker 5: show my mate's this video. And then a little bit
Speaker 5: of like some flying stuff as well, because I wanted to,
Speaker 5: you know, at that stage, I was like, actually I
Speaker 5: kind of want this, like this would be a really
Speaker 5: good opportunity. They get some amazing girls on the show,
Speaker 5: and I feel like if I do something, I do
Speaker 5: it like I put in one hundred percent effort with it.
Speaker 5: So I made this little video, very cringe worthy video,
Speaker 5: sent that in and then and then it just snowball.
Speaker 5: Then from getting the nod from the network, it was
Speaker 5: then trying to get time off work and Jetstar was great.
Speaker 5: It's good timing to ask for leave with everything that's
Speaker 5: going on, So they were really great and rest is history.
Speaker 1: So did you have sessions with a psychologist that broke
Speaker 1: down exactly what kind of person you're looking for?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I spoke extensively with a psychologist about just
Speaker 5: about like my mental I guess you have to do
Speaker 5: a psych they have to analyze me as well figure
Speaker 5: out where I'm at. And then I think it was
Speaker 5: a date producer about exactly what I was looking for in.
Speaker 4: A partner as well.
Speaker 3: What does your checklist look like?
Speaker 5: Good aviation pun there, Maddie, Well done my checklist. It's
Speaker 5: basically just like I just wanted someone first and foremost.
Speaker 5: I really want someone that's a nice person. Like a
Speaker 5: deal breaker for me is you know when you're like
Speaker 5: you're at dinner, you're go on a date with someone,
Speaker 5: You're at dinner, and someone's really rude to the way
Speaker 5: it all like they just think they're kind of above
Speaker 5: everyone else. I think it's just like such an unattractive trait.
Speaker 5: So for me, I was like, I just want a
Speaker 5: nice person. But okay, obviously you need the attraction of
Speaker 5: those type of things, but outside of the obvious, someone
Speaker 5: that I can have a bit.
Speaker 4: Of a laugh with.
Speaker 5: And I mean, look, even looking at your relationship, like
Speaker 5: you guys actually just take the piss.
Speaker 2: Out of each other and oh we hate each other. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's great, perfect, we're just doing this for media. Still,
Speaker 2: we're just you know, the kids are just like I mean,
Speaker 2: it was just a bonus. The kids just happened by accident,
Speaker 2: both of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was just happy to have someone that I could
Speaker 3: do TikTok dances with.
Speaker 1: That's what When the psychologist was like, what are you
Speaker 1: looking for, and I was like, someone that can dance
Speaker 1: and likes TikTok.
Speaker 2: Things abspiral terribly out of control. We literally, like I said,
Speaker 2: we went from yachts to TikTok.
Speaker 5: Here we are well, never been happy on twenty twenty one.
Speaker 5: I think it's great that you can just take the
Speaker 5: piece out of each other. And that's what I want
Speaker 5: as well. It's really important. I think that, yeah, you
Speaker 5: want to marry someone that you're attracted to and all
Speaker 5: the rest of that kind of stuff. But some advice
Speaker 5: I was given by a guy who has been in
Speaker 5: some very unsuccessful marriages, a guy I fly with. He
Speaker 5: was like, mate, just marry your best mate because when
Speaker 5: you have kids and all the rest, he said, the
Speaker 5: romance kind of will fade a little bit up and down.
Speaker 5: You just want to be with your best mate. I
Speaker 5: think that's kind of what I was looking for.
Speaker 1: When you have two kids, the romance does tend to
Speaker 1: subside a little bit.
Speaker 2: Hey, you still drink it the well, you're fine, settle
Speaker 2: it down to tad just to look it does. And
Speaker 2: I think, like hearing that from someone who has had
Speaker 2: failed marriages, I think for us, like, the best thing
Speaker 2: is that we are such good friends and like even
Speaker 2: if there's weeks where you don't feel romantic, you're not
Speaker 2: like and it's bloody exhausted with two kids or any kids,
Speaker 2: you know, and relationships kind of run that roller coaster.
Speaker 2: But I completely agree. I don't think prior to this
Speaker 2: relationship I realized just how important that sentiment is. Now
Speaker 2: I'm very happy. Look how lucky we got on the show, Jimmy.
Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm a little bit annoyed, slash offended that
Speaker 1: you didn't reach out before filming started and asked for
Speaker 1: any advice from me.
Speaker 5: Outrageous, isn't it, they said to me. Obviously it's all
Speaker 5: confidential and everything. And I actually ran and so I
Speaker 5: was like, Okay, I'm just going to try and go
Speaker 5: into it and like do my own thing. But I
Speaker 5: did run into Tim Robards at the gym at Fitness First.
Speaker 5: So he was there, he was training, and that's where
Speaker 5: I trained every day. I hadn't seen him in there much,
Speaker 5: but I was like, I'd just been given the nod,
Speaker 5: and I was like, I don't know what I'm getting
Speaker 5: myself into here.
Speaker 4: So I went up and just asked him. I was like,
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask him face to face.
Speaker 5: So I was kind of freaked out that like someone
Speaker 5: would find me like messaging people or whatever. Because it
Speaker 5: was all with the NDA and everything, I thought, Okay,
Speaker 5: he's an opportunity to have a face to face chat
Speaker 5: with Tim. But actually, Maddie, I think we've got some
Speaker 5: mutual mates. And they were saying when they found out,
Speaker 5: they were like, oh, you should have asked Maddie, and
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, I know. I just didn't want to.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I was scared of someone like reprimanding me or something
Speaker 5: like that. So yeah, I'm sorry. Can I ask for advice?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 3: It's okay, I completely understand.
Speaker 4: Can we be mate?
Speaker 1: Well, look, we'll see how the rest of this chat goes.
Speaker 1: When it came to filming, were there any big surprises
Speaker 1: or did it play out exactly like you would expect.
Speaker 5: I had no idea what to expect, so everything to
Speaker 5: me was a surprise going into it. You know, night one,
Speaker 5: where you're standing there on the red carpet and you
Speaker 5: know you're not used to the cameras, You've got these
Speaker 5: beautiful women walking towards you. I just didn't want to
Speaker 5: be too nervous, so I just would just slip up
Speaker 5: and not be able to be myself.
Speaker 4: So I just wanted to try and relax into it.
Speaker 5: It took me probably about three or four girls chats
Speaker 5: with about three or four girls before I felt like, okay,
Speaker 5: I can just kind of bim myself a little bit here.
Speaker 4: I think the chat at the start would have been horrendous, like.
Speaker 5: My responses to their questions the first few questions, like
Speaker 5: after a while, I kind of just forgot all the
Speaker 5: cameras are there. But I didn't really know what to
Speaker 5: expect going into it. I definitely had a few moments
Speaker 5: where I was just like, what is going on? Like,
Speaker 5: especially after you have a bit of like romantic time
Speaker 5: with someone and then I mean, you guys would remember this,
Speaker 5: and then they just sort of say, okay, thanks guys,
Speaker 5: and you suddenly realize that there's been like twenty people
Speaker 5: watching you pash another girl.
Speaker 1: Slash a couple of million people on TV as well.
Speaker 4: Yes, that too, So that's weird.
Speaker 2: What were the girls like? And can we expect to
Speaker 2: see some drama? I think the last couple of years,
Speaker 2: fighting and the drama in the house has been something
Speaker 2: that's definitely played a pretty big role in the show.
Speaker 2: So what can we expect in regards to that?
Speaker 4: So this year, the brief that they told me was
Speaker 4: that they wanted to tell a love story. They wanted
Speaker 4: to steer away from the drama.
Speaker 5: So you know what it's like, you guys finished the
Speaker 5: show and then you just chat everything about what happened
Speaker 5: and some of the stuff that I've found out since leaving,
Speaker 5: I'm like, what they said this or that happened?
Speaker 4: I had no idea.
Speaker 5: So look, the important thing is for us, Like, I'm
Speaker 5: super happy and me and my partner girlfriend would have
Speaker 5: want to call it, we're super happy and like, so
Speaker 5: I'm really happy that it's worked out for us. So yes,
Speaker 5: it's a love story, which is great, but also there
Speaker 5: was a shit ton of drama as well that went down,
Speaker 5: which some of it I knew about and I was
Speaker 5: involved in, and some other stuff that I just had
Speaker 5: no idea. So yeah, I think it'll I'm really looking
Speaker 5: forward to watching it because I think I'm going to
Speaker 5: find out a lot of things that I never saw
Speaker 5: from the start.
Speaker 2: Okay, So if you're looking forward to watching it, are
Speaker 2: there any episodes that you were banning your now partner
Speaker 2: from watching or are there anything that's gonna unfold where
Speaker 2: you're like, I reckon you should check out of this episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, you're like all of it.
Speaker 4: Great question.
Speaker 5: Look, so I didn't realize that that you know, it's
Speaker 5: like you're on a date and that's like one day
Speaker 5: of filming. But I didn't realize that they might show.
Speaker 5: For instance, apparently in one of the episodes, I think
Speaker 5: I kissed three people. So for me, it's not like
Speaker 5: you're kissing three people in one day. But I was like,
Speaker 5: oh yeah, I was like, maybe just like.
Speaker 4: Watch something else, Olympics or something that for that one
Speaker 4: just kind of just read a book.
Speaker 3: Three people could be a record.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jimmy had his Olympics going.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't want to go in there and just
Speaker 4: like and just kiss everyone, because you know, you need
Speaker 4: to suss out if there is that physical connection. So
Speaker 4: you know, of course there was a little bit of kissing.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think it's going to be weird seeing
Speaker 5: myself kiss on national television and also weird for my
Speaker 5: probably even more weird for my partner seeing me kiss
Speaker 5: the other girls.
Speaker 2: But now, I know you haven't asked for my advice,
Speaker 2: but I'm going to give it anyway because you're on
Speaker 2: my podcast. But the thing that I think with Matt
Speaker 2: and I so many people ask that question. So many
Speaker 2: people ask me if I was jealous watching the show
Speaker 2: back or how I felt watching it back. And of
Speaker 2: course there are some episodes where you feel a little
Speaker 2: bit like, oh, I don't like that. That makes me
Speaker 2: feel lucky, like you know, the person I love is
Speaker 2: kissing someone else. But the thing that really sort of
Speaker 2: galvanized us and I guess made me feel really confident
Speaker 2: in every episode I watched. The whole thing I didn't
Speaker 2: miss an episode was the fact that there was nothing
Speaker 2: that came as a surprise to me, Like Matt had
Speaker 2: sat me down and told me every single thing in detail,
Speaker 2: and it made me really feel included, and it made
Speaker 2: me really feel like he respected and cared about the
Speaker 2: way I felt, and that even if it was an
Speaker 2: uncomfortable conversation, to have that uncomfortable conversation was more important
Speaker 2: than hoping something wasn't shown on TV. Yeah, that's my
Speaker 2: recommendation is sit down and just be super honest, and
Speaker 2: then almost you have to draw a line in the
Speaker 2: sand and say, our relationships started the day that you
Speaker 2: chose to be in a relationship with me, and we
Speaker 2: both kind of walked away from that whole situation because
Speaker 2: it really it does kind of start again from day one.
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, yeah, so I'm just going to write
Speaker 4: some notes here. That's good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's great advice. And do you know
Speaker 5: what we've actually had on our first rendezvous that we
Speaker 5: had together. So for those of people that don't know
Speaker 5: what the rendezvous is, it's when you get taken off
Speaker 5: in secret to hang out with each other. So on
Speaker 5: our first one, we sat down over a boller red
Speaker 5: and just I think it's great that I can be
Speaker 5: I'm just so open and honest with her, and I've
Speaker 5: never had to keep anything from her, and probably some
Speaker 5: things I've told her just about just anything like history
Speaker 5: of Jimmy or all that kind of stuff, maybe she wouldn't.
Speaker 4: Want to hear.
Speaker 5: But I'm like, well, I don't want to start this relationship,
Speaker 5: which will hopefully be my last relationship on like lies
Speaker 5: and for.
Speaker 4: Me to feel like that.
Speaker 5: I don't want other people to say anything around her,
Speaker 5: whether it's my mates or any of that. So I
Speaker 5: sat her down and I was like, let's talk about
Speaker 5: every single thing that happened. Ask me any question you want,
Speaker 5: and I'll give you my honest explanation of exactly what
Speaker 5: was going on. So I feel like the hard work
Speaker 5: for us is actually done.
Speaker 4: We pass that now.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you're at a point right now where there are
Speaker 1: so many skeletons that are coming out from the closet.
Speaker 1: I remember one of the most wildest rumors that was
Speaker 1: made up about me was a painally I had a
Speaker 1: secret male lover over in person, and I remember the
Speaker 1: guys at Channel ten were like, hey, you can tell us,
Speaker 1: be honest, are you dating a guy in Perth? And
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm there's no truth to that at all,
Speaker 1: and they were like, okay, sure, And it was just
Speaker 1: one after the other of these wild rumors that come.
Speaker 2: Out to be fair. Though, that gentleman who started that
Speaker 2: rumor still continued to email us until about a year ago. Really,
Speaker 2: we would get random emails from a guy who was
Speaker 2: completely in love with Matt. This is a whole other story,
Speaker 2: but so Matt had like a die hard and I
Speaker 2: don't even know if you call it a fan. He
Speaker 2: was convinced that they had had a romantic relationship and
Speaker 2: he was really upset with me that I had stopped
Speaker 2: their relationship from happening. So who knows there could be
Speaker 2: some truth to wow.
Speaker 5: So was it quite hard Mattie to not give into
Speaker 5: the temptation to maybe just like send him a couple
Speaker 5: of nudes to get a bit of cash money.
Speaker 2: Well, times of tough. We've got two kids now making
Speaker 2: two top videos.
Speaker 1: Except now I look at some of the and I've
Speaker 1: seen you with your shirt off, and I'm like, surely
Speaker 1: that's going to be enough to try and draw him
Speaker 1: away from me towards you when it comes to those dates.
Speaker 1: What percentage were you topless?
Speaker 5: Look, I didn't want to come across as a wanker
Speaker 5: on the last thing I want to do is come
Speaker 5: across as a wanker on the show.
Speaker 4: And so I get it, like even on the first night,
Speaker 4: you'll see me take my top off. Yes, And I
Speaker 4: was just like oh, And for a split second.
Speaker 5: Of me, it was like one of the girls asked
Speaker 5: me to do something and you'll see how it all
Speaker 5: pans out. But a split second I was like, Nah,
Speaker 5: I'm not doing it. My mates are just going to
Speaker 5: cringe and I'm going to cop so much shit for this,
Speaker 5: And I was like, oh, I'm already here, Like let's
Speaker 5: just I'm all in. So the lid comes off a
Speaker 5: fair bit.
Speaker 3: Absolutely nothing wrong with that kid.
Speaker 5: Well, I was just like, whatever you dip the towe in,
Speaker 5: I may as well go all in. So I'm preparing
Speaker 5: myself for my mates to hang a lot of shit
Speaker 5: on me. That's all right, It's all part of it.
Speaker 2: What was the hardest part of filming?
Speaker 5: I actually I'm used to doing the big day thing,
Speaker 5: like you know, from work. I'm used to working hard,
Speaker 5: so that it was all fine. I think the hardest
Speaker 5: part for me was the Rose ceremonies because got everyone
Speaker 5: standing there for a long period of time, and it's
Speaker 5: pretty brutal sending people home, even at the start, even
Speaker 5: if you haven't really formed like strong connections with some
Speaker 5: of the girls that you still like. People are putting
Speaker 5: their lives on hold to come on the show and
Speaker 5: hopefully meet someone, and they're like they've already gone way
Speaker 5: out of the comfort zone and saying things and talking
Speaker 5: about their emotions and feelings, and it's brutal, like sending
Speaker 5: people home, and they just got harder and harder.
Speaker 4: So that was my least favorite part about the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I know that you probably can't answer this question properly,
Speaker 2: but do your best I'm like worried if I'm going
Speaker 2: to get in trouble from publicity on this one. I think,
Speaker 2: like exactly what you said, It gets harder and harder
Speaker 2: as the show goes on, you know, like because even
Speaker 2: if you're not in love with someone, you care about them.
Speaker 2: You know, you care about their feelings. You don't want
Speaker 2: to hurt someone's feelings either. And each week that it progresses,
Speaker 2: the greater that relationship or that connection has been formed
Speaker 2: with that person. So I think towards the end, and
Speaker 2: especially I know with Matt, like saying goodbye to number
Speaker 2: three and number two Elise and Tara was so hard
Speaker 2: for him, and watching that back think was probably the
Speaker 2: hardest thing for me as well, was watching how upset
Speaker 2: he was saying goodbye to other people. Did you know
Speaker 2: early on that the girl that you were with now
Speaker 2: was the girl or was it really something that when
Speaker 2: you got to the end you had to make a decision.
Speaker 5: Some of the advice that Tim robots when I chad
Speaker 5: z him in the gym, in the gym that he
Speaker 5: gave he was he said, it's really difficult trying to
Speaker 5: date twenty three women at the same time, he said
Speaker 5: and it's quite difficult to figure out from the very beginning.
Speaker 5: It can be like drinking water through a via hose.
Speaker 5: He's just like, take it day by day, and at
Speaker 5: the very start, just think about who perhaps you don't
Speaker 5: see any connection with, or you don't see any future with.
Speaker 5: So he said, almost like as kind of rough as
Speaker 5: it sounds like, treated as a process of elimination, just
Speaker 5: like each week, don't focus on exactly who you want
Speaker 5: to end up with trying it just helps you deal
Speaker 5: with it all at the start.
Speaker 4: So I used that. So I remember the first episode,
Speaker 4: it was full on, everything was happening.
Speaker 5: I definitely the girl I'm with now, I of course
Speaker 5: noticed her and I was like, Wow, she's stunning, But
Speaker 5: for us it was definitely. It progressed a little bit
Speaker 5: later for us it wasn't. I don't know if it
Speaker 5: was you'd say love at first sight, because I think
Speaker 5: obviously it was like, I think she's amazing and lust
Speaker 5: at first sight. But it wasn't until I actually got
Speaker 5: to know her that I realized, yeah, okay, we're onto
Speaker 5: something here. And then that just grew stronger and stronger,
Speaker 5: and actually since filmings, since we stopped filming, like that's
Speaker 5: the real test, right when you're the cameras are off
Speaker 5: and you're spending that time together and our I would say,
Speaker 5: our relationship is now like at a whole another level
Speaker 5: as well. So yeah, which is a positive sign for us.
Speaker 1: I keep thinking to this chat you had with Tim
Speaker 1: at the gym, and if there's anybody else next to you,
Speaker 1: guys on the treadmill, going.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, what are these guys talking about?
Speaker 4: They're getting deep, can real deep? Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was kind of strange going up to him and
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, h s, sorry interrupt your workout
Speaker 5: that you're clearly headphones on everything. But I got that
Speaker 5: gig you did like a couple of years ago, and
Speaker 5: he's like, which one, And I'm like, on the neighbor's one.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was a bit weird, but it was
Speaker 4: good advice.
Speaker 3: So Jimmy, just confirming you are in love right now?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am.
Speaker 1: Is this the first time you've been in love or
Speaker 1: is this something you've experienced before in your dating life.
Speaker 4: I have experienced this before.
Speaker 5: I've been into long term relationships, so I guess this
Speaker 5: will be the third time in love. The whole drop
Speaker 5: in the olbomb stuff. I take that that really seriously,
Speaker 5: and I wanted to not say anything that I didn't mean.
Speaker 5: I have dropped the album. And it's actually quite scary
Speaker 5: that you can meet someone on a TV show and
Speaker 5: for it to go so well, like yeah, it's as
Speaker 5: I said, for us after the show as well, we're
Speaker 5: super super.
Speaker 2: Happy you're preaching to the choir. I mean, I think
Speaker 2: for us and especially for me, like I never expected.
Speaker 2: I think I hoped, and I was like really excited
Speaker 2: about the experience, you know, but I never really expected
Speaker 2: that I would be able to fall in love with
Speaker 2: someone on a TV show, that I would meet the
Speaker 2: guy that is the father of my children on a
Speaker 2: TV show. And the crazy thing for me is that,
Speaker 2: like it wasn't until I was in that environment that
Speaker 2: I actually met Matt and I thought, I was like,
Speaker 2: holy shit, I'm in trouble, Like this is actually real
Speaker 2: and this is happening. And now when I meet people
Speaker 2: who either doubt it or think it's all fake or
Speaker 2: you know, they question kind of like, oh, how could
Speaker 2: you possibly do that, I'm like, I'm the converted, Like
Speaker 2: I know, I thought the same thing. I guess that
Speaker 2: that's one of the reasons why Matt and I are
Speaker 2: still so invested in the show because we genuinely know
Speaker 2: how much it changes people's lives and that without it
Speaker 2: we would probably I mean, we may have met with
Speaker 2: Live in Bondy, but we probably would not have gotten
Speaker 2: together because the show gives you a very unusual environment
Speaker 2: to get to know someone. A lot of people don't
Speaker 2: or a lot of people assume otherwise, like you're not
Speaker 2: having sex on the show, Like there's a.
Speaker 4: Lot of are you Jimmy, No, there was absolutely none
Speaker 4: of that. No, many days without that. Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 2: It changes, It changes things, you know. It gives you
Speaker 2: like three months to really get to know someone without
Speaker 2: all of the other distractions that you have in a
Speaker 2: normal day to day and out in the real world,
Speaker 2: which kind of leads me into my next question. Why
Speaker 2: do you think you had hadn't found the person or
Speaker 2: the one in the real world.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think definitely when it comes to my past relationship,
Speaker 5: I had two amazing relationships, and I cannot fault both
Speaker 5: of the girls, but my last girlfriend, particularly as we
Speaker 5: were older, and she was exactly everything that I was
Speaker 5: looking for in a partner. But the thing for me
Speaker 5: was that I had this realization that this is leading
Speaker 5: towards marriage, and I don't want to marry someone and
Speaker 5: then get cold feet after you have kids and stuff
Speaker 5: like that. I wanted to make sure that I had
Speaker 5: that time myself to do my own thing, and so
Speaker 5: I was truly ready that I could just be comfortable
Speaker 5: in relationship and be happy and live the happier after.
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't say that it didn't work out.
Speaker 5: But in the last couple of years since meeting people
Speaker 5: and dating, I think the problem with modern day dating
Speaker 5: is and with the apps and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: And this is something I realized when I was in
Speaker 4: the house, is you don't have Instagram.
Speaker 5: You can't stalk someone, you can't speak to their mates,
Speaker 5: you can't speak to your mates and find out, you know,
Speaker 5: what their reputation's like. You've got none of that. So
Speaker 5: it's like none of that peripheral stuff is there. It's
Speaker 5: literally just like raw. You have to take everything that
Speaker 5: person says as gospel and you form those connections based
Speaker 5: on just chatting. So it maybe realize that like you
Speaker 5: get on the dating apps, you're swiping left and right constantly,
Speaker 5: you're just looking at people's like what they look like on.
Speaker 4: Their profile picture.
Speaker 5: Before you go on a date with them, you've already
Speaker 5: stalked them. So it made me realize that actually, like
Speaker 5: maybe I got too caught up in that. Maybe everyone
Speaker 5: gets too caught up in that when they date. I
Speaker 5: think stripping it all back to the raw, like two
Speaker 5: people meeting it just worked for us, and it's it's weird,
Speaker 5: but it.
Speaker 3: Has I think.
Speaker 1: You know, people always say, what's it like when you
Speaker 1: have to date twenty plus women? It must be so
Speaker 1: full on having so much to choose from, And it's
Speaker 1: actually I think it's the reverse. I think a normal
Speaker 1: life you have too much choice when it comes to apps,
Speaker 1: you have such a high churn, like you know, in
Speaker 1: a matter of seconds you can get another match, another match,
Speaker 1: another match, and it actually it's such a unique environment
Speaker 1: where all of that is taken away from you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: You focus on the people that are in front of you,
Speaker 5: and you're not constantly I feel like maybe people are
Speaker 5: always looking something better and better and better, and they're
Speaker 5: only going off face value.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think you're right, but it's weird.
Speaker 5: Dating twenty three women at the same time is like
Speaker 5: you know, and I say this to my partner hours,
Speaker 5: like the whole time you were thinking about one guy,
Speaker 5: well hopefully about one guy, and then like, you know,
Speaker 5: but the whole time, I'm trying to think about twenty
Speaker 5: three women and trying to navigate all of that.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, it's a learning curve.
Speaker 3: So what does the future look like for you now?
Speaker 1: Have you got a bit of a roadmap of when
Speaker 1: you want to have those milestone moments like getting married
Speaker 1: and having kids.
Speaker 5: For me, back to normal life, get back to work,
Speaker 5: and then yeah, when it comes to kids and all
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. Like I'm thirty two this year,
Speaker 5: so I feel like when you meet people when you're
Speaker 5: a bit older, you kind of, I don't know, you
Speaker 5: don't have to wait the typical time period that you
Speaker 5: probably would earlier on. So if it feels right, marriage
Speaker 5: in the next couple of years, and then I'd like
Speaker 5: to have kids within the next.
Speaker 4: I don't know, three to five years. I'm not getting
Speaker 4: any youngest.
Speaker 5: And I feel like it's really nice and knowing how
Speaker 5: like I feel really really certain about this girl, and
Speaker 5: actually I'm really really positive about us in the future
Speaker 5: as well. My shit, we're going to be like another
Speaker 5: statistic of the Batch franchise, which.
Speaker 4: Is great, but you kind of wouldn't think it would
Speaker 4: happen going into it.
Speaker 2: This makes me so happy, like I just have all
Speaker 2: the warm I've got all the warm fuzzies. Guys.
Speaker 1: The other question I want to ask is can we
Speaker 1: go flying Laura and myself with you sometime soon when
Speaker 1: we're allowed to be in a confined space without risk
Speaker 1: of COVID.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll say it here first, I promise you I'll
Speaker 4: take you guys flying, and you can come. We can
Speaker 4: do like a double day. How does that sound.
Speaker 2: Matt's just upset that you didn't call him and you
Speaker 2: went to Tim Robarts.
Speaker 3: Because I go to that same gym.
Speaker 4: I've never seen him there.
Speaker 1: I actually saw you guys having the conversation, and I
Speaker 1: was like, that son of a bitch.
Speaker 3: Feeding me again.
Speaker 5: It probably would have made sense to contact you, Maddie,
Speaker 5: because you know a couple of my mates and they
Speaker 5: had said that they know you and you're really approachable
Speaker 5: and stuff. But I was petrified of having any evidence
Speaker 5: that the show would come down to me, so I
Speaker 5: had to do it face to face.
Speaker 2: So we did do something a bit naughty. No one
Speaker 2: knows this. Don't do this, Jimmy. But Matt and I
Speaker 2: very sneakily once met up outside of the rendezvous that
Speaker 2: were organized with Channel ten, and it was very naughty.
Speaker 2: But it was well before the show had started airing,
Speaker 2: and it was well before there was any media attention
Speaker 2: around us. We went to you booke abb this is
Speaker 2: how stealth we had to be. We booked an airbnb
Speaker 2: in the middle of nowhere. I went there twenty four
Speaker 2: hours before Matt came, and I went and I really
Speaker 2: under the cloak of darkness with a hoodie on that
Speaker 2: I stayed inside the whole time. And then Matt came
Speaker 2: the day later, and then he left the next day,
Speaker 2: and then I left twenty four hours after him. Like
Speaker 2: we we full on went stealth mode.
Speaker 1: I remember being so petrified that there was someone in
Speaker 1: the bushes taking a photo and it would just be
Speaker 1: the undoing of the show. You know, everybody works so
Speaker 1: hard you don't want to spoil it for the viewer.
Speaker 3: And Laura was like, just come and see me, come
Speaker 3: and see me. I'll be there.
Speaker 5: Mind, you probably could have had the exact same thing
Speaker 5: with the network paying for it. If you had to
Speaker 5: just ask them for another rodov But anyway, look, that's
Speaker 5: that's cute.
Speaker 4: You did it yourself so totally tally.
Speaker 3: Although they were like, we can do it in a
Speaker 3: week and Laura is like, I need it, I need
Speaker 3: it tomorrow.
Speaker 2: I absolutely do not recommend this. The amount of anxiety
Speaker 2: that we had to live with because of that, it
Speaker 2: was not worth. It was not worth a twenty four
Speaker 2: hour rendezvous.
Speaker 1: Actually, I do want to ask, Jimmy, you look like
Speaker 1: somebody who can keep a secret at the moment within
Speaker 1: your circle of family and friends.
Speaker 3: Who knows the result?
Speaker 4: Well, my family all came on the show.
Speaker 5: They'll feature quite heavily, so my immediate family know, and
Speaker 5: then a couple of my best mates know.
Speaker 4: And that's it.
Speaker 2: That's a few people.
Speaker 4: What have you done, Jimmy, You brew on the show.
Speaker 4: They're rock solid.
Speaker 5: They're sworn to secrecy because also because they kind of
Speaker 5: featured on the show as well. So guys, generally, if
Speaker 5: my mates from school and stuff ask me, all they
Speaker 5: care about is they just.
Speaker 4: Want to punt on it. So they're like, who's pick sports? Bet?
Speaker 5: Like, I don't care who it is. I might want
Speaker 5: to watch it, but yeah, can you tell me who
Speaker 5: it is so I can get some money. So I'm
Speaker 5: keeping your mother to see it.
Speaker 2: Jimmy, thank you so much for making time for coming
Speaker 2: on the podcast. We fucking love the Bachelor here. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's no surprises there, but it's so great to meet
Speaker 2: you and to be able to have this little insight
Speaker 2: into who you are before the show actually starts. And
Speaker 2: for everybody who's listening, the show does start next week
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, which is the twenty first of July, and
Speaker 2: that is when we can see Jimmy falling in love
Speaker 2: and hopefully he's another disgustingly beautiful statistics from the Bachelor family.
Speaker 4: Thanks guys, love the chat.
Speaker 3: Thanks Jimmy go away.

Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, you will know that Britt
