1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's well.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, Bryce from Married at First

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: Sight sat in this very room with us as our

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 2: audio producer, a studio producer. He is now he was

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 2: engaged then now he's on Married at First Site and

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: he is negotiating life with his wife Melissa and not

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: being as subtle as he might have been. Bryce, good morning.

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: Good morning guys. How are we.

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 3: Great to talk to you?

10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Bryce?

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Can we go back to the beginning, because at what

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: point did you think you know what? I want to

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: go on Married at First Sight.

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: The moment I got an email saying hey, interested, Noha.

15
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: It was a bit of a long process, so I

16
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: split up with my experience that of course you both

17
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: know very well. Yeah, Easter last year, just after East

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: last year, and then the process for me started end

19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: of April, start of May. So it's a long process

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: to get in the show. And in the beginning I

21
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: wasn't interested at all because obviously I was out of

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: an engagement, but so more I was going through the process.

23
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: You do a lot of tests, and there's a lot

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: of personality tests. You find out a lot of traits

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: about yourself. I thought, you know what this is what

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: the processes like to get on it. It could actually

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: be beneficial for me for personal development going forward in

28
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: relationships to be on a show like this.

29
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: But you know what, it's what I was just saying

30
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: before is the stuff. It's not normal, is it. It's

31
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: not normal that you would sit down with a new

32
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: partner and have to rate their attractiveness and rate how

33
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: they compare to other women in the same competition.

34
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: It's not regular.

35
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: No, And I just heard you say that moment to going, oh, look,

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think that was one part

37
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: of the whole experiment. I just thought, what are we doing,

38
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Like is this a piss take or what's happening here?

39
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Because that's not a normal thing to do in a relationship.

40
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: And obviously we've seen what's played out last night and

41
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: the rankings task. And the thing with me is I

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: was told to do it based purely on attractiveness, as

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: in just looks one to nine, you put an order

44
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: he thinks hottest and not hottest, where other guys on

45
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: the show that I'm really good mate. So we're told

46
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: about personality. So for me sort of like you know what, Okay,

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: it's someone said to me, Hey, do it based on

48
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the overall package like looks, personality, future goals and whatnot.

49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: Melissa would have been leaps and bounds number one.

50
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: So they're setting you up, really, they're setting you up

51
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: to look like a dickhead.

52
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: Well you make your mind no.

53
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: No, Bryce, please, and I should. I wasn't saying that

54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: you are. But what I'm saying is that what guy

55
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: could what? That's not fair on you.

56
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: No. And I think we saw too. It's kind of

57
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: looks like a bit of a theme for me, especially

58
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: in the show with the honesty box that we saw

59
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: last week, where we saw two questions in a ten

60
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: question box and that was literally twenty minutes of a

61
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: seven day honeymoon that we actually had the best honeymoon on.

62
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: I guess you would see at the dinner party if

63
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: you watched it, Melissa and I looked very happy and

64
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: very loved up. If you've been in a week's honeymoon

65
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: had a really good time. That's tape brink. And it

66
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: didn't to me. It didn't make sense to me watching

67
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: it back because I'm watching it back like everyone else

68
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: is in real time. I thought, geez, it doesn't look

69
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: like I'm myself and the honeymoon there, and it's different

70
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: at the dinner pay So look, I guess that's what happens.

71
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: But I guess people can also see too what they

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: think is real between us and what's not.

73
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: Because you're a nice guy and you're a good guy,

74
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: and so when these things happen, you think I wouldn't

75
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: have seen that in you. So as you say they're

76
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 2: cherry picking, I guess that's what you signed up for.

77
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: But it must be hard to watch.

78
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: It is hard to watch. And look, because I make

79
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: no secret, very blunt. I have a very blunt personality

80
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: and very outgoing and friendly. But I call a state

81
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: of stade and that's a personality trait that, yeah, bring

82
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: that honesty from myself and sometimes it's good, sometimes it's

83
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: not good, and unfortunately the parts that aren't good in

84
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: that honesty being highlighted. And look, it is what it is.

85
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: As you've said, we've signed up to it. You know

86
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: it can come with it, and it's nothing against what

87
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: they're making us look like because they've going to make

88
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: a TV show that rates. But I think too, at

89
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day, there's lives on the line

90
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: and careers and stuff, and sometimes what people are seeing,

91
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: that's what they're going to make your mind up on.

92
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: And I guess those that know me well, like yourselves,

93
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: you know exactly what I'm like.

94
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: Where are you and Melissa now and all of this.

95
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: We're both in Melbourne. I can let you know that

96
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: we do speak quite often. And look, it's obviously we've

97
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: been watching most of the back together, and it is tough,

98
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: especially with something like Melissa. I'd love for you guys

99
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: to meet her one time, because she's genuinely the nicest

100
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: female I've ever met my life. And she's sort of

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: being put through a fair bit herself emotionally, which is

102
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: not great to see because obviously my works we're doing

103
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: it to her and we're kind of reliving those moments.

104
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, look, we're in a great spot individually, and

105
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I guess we'll find out if we're in a great

106
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: spot together going forward.

107
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: I've noticed you've taken to wearing a hat. This wasn't

108
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: something that you learned with us. I don't know the

109
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: hat hater, but I used to think that in you

110
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: weren't a hat guy. But now here you are wearing

111
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: a hat.

112
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, it was changed a lot since I

113
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: left you. I don't know if it was the best, but.

114
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 3: I think there should be a are you trying to

115
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 3: do what Martha did? Remember she started wearing that hat.

116
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: I can't stand that cheek.

117
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, where's that hat? But she

118
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: says nothing. Everyone's saying, let's give her a show, let's

119
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: give us something, And then we spoke to her and

120
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: she says nothing. She has absolutely nothing to say.

121
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: Well, that's what must be interesting with you, Bryce. How

122
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: are you navigating all this with your own radio show.

123
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there was reports going around that I was

124
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: fired from the Canberra I can tell you how that

125
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: wasn't the case. So I resigned four weeks ago and

126
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: made the move to Melbourne because you both know, like

127
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: when I moved on from your show, I moved down

128
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: south to pursue some sports commentating and radio down here,

129
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: and I've come back to that because my true passion,

130
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: as Jonesy knows very well, was sport. And yeah, obviously

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: Melbourn's sporting capital of the country and I want to

132
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: be in that sort of environment to go forward.

133
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: So I just happened to be when Alissa lives as well.

134
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: Interesting, isn't it.

135
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

136
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: I know. Very interesting guys, very interesting.

137
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 3: Well you've got us on tenterhooks. Bryce, Well, we love

138
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: seeing you on the.

139
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: Telly and you are a good guy and we know that.

140
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: And I'm going to get vouch for you.

141
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: You can vouch for you.

142
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: But you know, keep your pie hole shut.

143
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: That's not going to be entertaining. I say, keep your

144
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: pie hole open.

145
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing. Amanda's got the sensible cap

146
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: on it? Or do I go with the silly cap

147
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: with Jones I don't know. I'll go from both of you.

148
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 3: Go with that crazy hat. Go with that crazy hat

149
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: you're wearing. Now, go with that. That's a nice hat.

150
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: Well, good luck, Bryce, and it's nice to talk.

151
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: To you, you two guys. I hope you will taste.

152
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: Thank you, Marati. First Sight is back tonight seven thirty

153
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: on nine. That's our boy, Bryce

154
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's na
