Speaker 1: Life Uncut podcast acknowledges the traditional custodians of country throughout
Speaker 1: Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We
Speaker 1: pay our respect to their elders past and present and
Speaker 1: extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island
Speaker 1: people's today.
Speaker 2: This episode is recorded on Bungelong Country. What are you doing?
Speaker 3: I made my gin way too strong?
Speaker 2: Give me a stones, I can twirl my gin.
Speaker 3: By that right, you reckon?
Speaker 2: That's disgusting. Thank you, Hi guys, and a welcome back
Speaker 2: to another episode of Life on Cut. It is Batchahn
Speaker 2: and I am joined by the sensational, the slightly sunburnt,
Speaker 2: the very handsome and very very funny and also often
Speaker 2: smelly man named Matthew Johnson.
Speaker 3: That intro took a real turn, didn't it. Hi, It's
Speaker 3: great to be here. And for the record, no, I
Speaker 3: am not sunburned.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are no sun kissed.
Speaker 3: There is nothing that hurts my soul more than someone going, oh,
Speaker 3: you're so sunburned.
Speaker 2: Because we are a particularly sun safe family, like we
Speaker 2: are annoyingly sun safe, so it always feels like we've
Speaker 2: been defeated when one of us gets sun kissed.
Speaker 3: I'm not sunburned. My eyes are just red because the
Speaker 3: pool's being really chlorinated. Right, That's it.
Speaker 2: Were you like, seven, why why are you opening your
Speaker 2: eyes in the water.
Speaker 3: Because because I don't know if when I'm doing this activity,
Speaker 3: you think to yourself, what kind of frickin' man? Did
Speaker 3: I marry?
Speaker 4: Hi?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I do? So, Okay, we if you guys
Speaker 2: have been following along, we're on holidays, if you listen
Speaker 2: to the bat chunk cut that we did earlier this week,
Speaker 2: we kind of just left off an episode because trying
Speaker 2: to unpack four Epps in the one batchunk cut, it
Speaker 2: was it was too much, too much, were stressful, stressed late,
Speaker 2: and we were a little bit drunk. So we decided
Speaker 2: we would save the very last episode and then kind
Speaker 2: of do this hap hazard hacked together final uncut. But
Speaker 2: it did require us taking all of the recording equipment
Speaker 2: on holidays with us to Byron.
Speaker 3: Going through airport security, they were like, what the hell
Speaker 3: is this?
Speaker 2: Literal they looked like the microphone and they were like
Speaker 2: what is this? I was like, that is not a
Speaker 2: sex toy. That is a microphone. And it was covered
Speaker 2: that had like Matt's sock pulled down over.
Speaker 3: Yeah. They were like, this is nothing.
Speaker 2: We She was like, I'm not going to touch this.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to put it through again.
Speaker 3: And we made it. We made it. The recording equipment
Speaker 3: is here. The pool. Let's talk about the pool.
Speaker 2: Let's not talk about the pool.
Speaker 3: It is really quickly. I really just want to I
Speaker 3: want to know what your thoughts are. I was looking
Speaker 3: at the pool. It's quite long, maybe thirty meters, and
Speaker 3: I said, Laura, do you think I can swim that
Speaker 3: length to length?
Speaker 2: No, there's more of a maxine one breath. There's more
Speaker 2: of a backstory to this. So Matt has been like
Speaker 2: his new hobby is that he's been trying to increase
Speaker 2: his lung capacity. It's a weird hobby and he talks
Speaker 2: about it all the time, like, Hey, I'm going to
Speaker 2: swim one hundred meters underwater. This is his goal, which
Speaker 2: is cool. It's great to have hobbies. His goal is
Speaker 2: to swim one hundred meters underwater, which just means that
Speaker 2: we've spent half of this holiday in the pool with
Speaker 2: Matt being like, I'm just gonna go do one more
Speaker 2: last I'm just going to do it. So he's just
Speaker 2: doing laps under the water of the pool where all
Speaker 2: these children are playing.
Speaker 3: Around, and you know what, I'm doing it because I
Speaker 3: do this really long, deep breath and I can't talk either,
Speaker 3: so I'm missing the corner of the pool going and
Speaker 3: I have to look at you and go, you got
Speaker 3: the kids. I'll be going a while. Is it impressive?
Speaker 3: Has anyone in the pool? It's quite, you know, as
Speaker 3: busy the sun is out, as anybody like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: that guy has just swum the entire length of the
Speaker 3: Lagoon pool one breath. Has anyone said that?
Speaker 2: There are a lot of things that I feel about you, Matt,
Speaker 2: and impressive when you do that, when you swim a
Speaker 2: whole lap underwater, impressive is the word that comes to mind.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that is my strong man right there. He's impressive,
Speaker 2: you know what. And it's a skill that's never going
Speaker 2: to come in handy ever.
Speaker 3: So yesterday when I tried to do it, and I
Speaker 3: was so close to getting to the end, and I
Speaker 3: wanted a bread so badly, and I was like, no,
Speaker 3: I've got two more strokes and I'm there, and underwater
Speaker 3: I could see two people standing there because it's quite shallow.
Speaker 2: At the other end, and the people everywhere.
Speaker 3: It's a busy pool, and so I didn't realize, but
Speaker 3: two people standing there and I swim in the middle
Speaker 3: of them, and I pop my head up and obviously
Speaker 3: I've just swum thirty meters with one gasp of air
Speaker 3: and I pop up and I'm like ooh, and they're
Speaker 3: throwing a tennis ball to each other. I'm in the
Speaker 3: middle of them, like hyperventilating, like saliva's coming out. I've
Speaker 3: got snot hanging out my nose. And they're like, are
Speaker 3: you okay?
Speaker 2: You are a full grown man, You are an adult,
Speaker 2: five two children. How is this the hobby that you've
Speaker 2: taken on. I'm sparks and trying to swim one hundred
Speaker 2: meters underwater.
Speaker 3: I know what the hell has happened to?
Speaker 2: Three?
Speaker 3: The thirty has hit me hard.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, look, guys, this is just a bonus episode.
Speaker 2: It is a spicy, short, little deep dive into episode seven,
Speaker 2: which we could not be fucked to recap on the
Speaker 2: early episode.
Speaker 3: No, shut the hell up.
Speaker 2: It was good.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: What I do want to say is there's been a
Speaker 2: lot of chitter chatter in the Facebook group. A lot
Speaker 2: of people have been saying that they're either checked out
Speaker 2: of watching it. I feel and maybe I'm alone here,
Speaker 2: but I think the season has gotten better and better.
Speaker 2: I am actually thoroughly enjoying it now.
Speaker 3: Fucking great.
Speaker 2: It was a slow start. It's great, but it's taken
Speaker 2: me a while.
Speaker 3: And it's also you know what my attention span is, like,
Speaker 3: I spent enough time on TikTok.
Speaker 2: I mean, you have enough time to swim forty meters underwater.
Speaker 3: The fact that I can record this episode is a
Speaker 3: miracle in itself. But it's such a quick season. It's over.
Speaker 3: This is after this episode next week, it's the last week.
Speaker 3: This is it. Two more episodes to go, and there's
Speaker 3: no more batch on cut.
Speaker 2: I would like to just remind you of something that
Speaker 2: it wasn't a quick season. There has been seven hours
Speaker 2: of Bachelor a week, but it's a very long season,
Speaker 2: just condensed into a short period of time.
Speaker 3: It's short and thick, right, a bit like me.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into it, okay. Episode seven, kicking
Speaker 2: off with Crystal. Oh, Crystal, Oh, what's happened? Oh she's look,
Speaker 2: she's taken a turn for the worst.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I think Okay, So Crystal, she's
Speaker 3: flipping out.
Speaker 2: She's flipping the freak out.
Speaker 3: Episode starts, it's a rose ceremony and Tilly grabs Felix
Speaker 3: straight away. Rose ceremony over. She like b lines for him,
Speaker 3: grabs him to go outside for a quick chat, and
Speaker 3: Crystal is like, this is my head in They're gonna
Speaker 3: make out again. She's really annoyed. I think I think
Speaker 3: there's so much that's happened with Crystal that's been cut
Speaker 3: out of the season.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, did you just take my point? I made
Speaker 2: this point to you last night when we were watching
Speaker 2: the show that was it's like my thing that I
Speaker 2: wanted to bring to this episode, right, and you just
Speaker 2: hijacked my point and made it your own.
Speaker 3: Please continue?
Speaker 2: Alright, So, like I was saying earlier.
Speaker 3: Sorry, a lot of my points, I feel like I
Speaker 3: just your ideas that I've just taken and like absorbed
Speaker 3: into my brain.
Speaker 2: No, don't make me feel bad. You have your own points,
Speaker 2: but you did just hijack mind.
Speaker 3: Soy continue, Laura. The mic is yours.
Speaker 2: Okay, So now I'm just repeating what you just said. Basically,
Speaker 2: I think that Crystal and Felix have had a lot
Speaker 2: more happening. I think they've had way more intimacy. I
Speaker 2: think they kissed on their single day. I think that
Speaker 2: there has been a lot more that's gone on there
Speaker 2: that we haven't seen, and that's why she's reacting with
Speaker 2: such a huge just way too overly jealous. And the
Speaker 2: reason why I say this is because we all saw
Speaker 2: how hot and steamy and sexy their twenty minute date was,
Speaker 2: and I think that her single date, Look, this is
Speaker 2: all just me projecting and like coming, I'm this is
Speaker 2: my conspiracy theory. I think that her single date was
Speaker 2: kind of hijacked from production to make it seem like
Speaker 2: the only thing they spoke about, which was Jess's polyamory relationship.
Speaker 2: But I actually think that they probably macked it on
Speaker 2: and had a good time and they had all this
Speaker 2: like sexual tension.
Speaker 3: Why would they do that then? Why would they edit
Speaker 3: that out? Wouldn't that work in the favor of the show,
Speaker 3: because you're like, like, I feel like that point, we
Speaker 3: were so exhausted from the Jess story demo line, like
Speaker 3: it was just too much.
Speaker 2: I reckon the reason why they would edit it out
Speaker 2: would be in order to create right now, so she's jealous,
Speaker 2: and it's so for everyone watching, We're like, why is
Speaker 2: she being so jealous? She's basically had no time with him.
Speaker 2: It seems like such a severe reaction, and it makes
Speaker 2: me think that there must be something else that's gone
Speaker 2: on to warrant why she is so jealous, And if
Speaker 2: there hasn't been, and I am wrong, then yeah, she's
Speaker 2: just behaving in a very jealous way.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well she did pull Felix aside and the chat
Speaker 3: didn't go down.
Speaker 4: Well, no, I just want to say just one thing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so when after your life ceremony, just make sure you
Speaker 4: say hi to all the girls before till he takes
Speaker 4: your away.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I look, I haven't been nine days and she's just
Speaker 3: been here by herself.
Speaker 2: I really needed to take the time and say something.
Speaker 3: Sorry.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we would have been unfair on her.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: How dare Crystal question the Bachelor? How dare she? Who
Speaker 3: does she think she is?
Speaker 5: Am?
Speaker 3: I right, Laura? Please? What do you think?
Speaker 2: Well? I mean, no, a female with a brain who
Speaker 2: has agency and choice. But do I think that Tilly's
Speaker 2: in the wrong? No, because I think that it's kind
Speaker 2: of No. Sorry you disagree with that?
Speaker 3: I disagree.
Speaker 2: You go first, Okay, I don't think Tilly's in the wrong.
Speaker 2: I think that, like, she's very much there for Felix.
Speaker 2: She's making it known that she's there for Felix. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's very forward, and I guess I guess the thing
Speaker 2: is is that all the other girls have their own
Speaker 2: connections and feelings for him, and if they all were
Speaker 2: as forward, then how would that work, Like if every
Speaker 2: single girl just like ran at Felix at the same
Speaker 2: time and like, you know, tried to pull them away
Speaker 2: and kiss him at group dates? Blah blah. I get it.
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying. I get why it doesn't
Speaker 2: work and why people are getting jealous. But do I
Speaker 2: think that Tilly has technically done anything wrong. No, I
Speaker 2: think she's just like expressing how she feels.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, don't you think that what she's done could
Speaker 3: be considered to be inconsiderate? And what I mean by
Speaker 3: that is after the row ceremony, we now know that
Speaker 3: the bachelor's hang around. They don't just you know, hand
Speaker 3: out the last rows and get the hell out of there.
Speaker 3: They linger, they chat, they hang out with the women,
Speaker 3: and it's obvious that she would have had a chance
Speaker 3: to have some kind of conversation with him. She didn't
Speaker 3: have to run to him first. She could have just
Speaker 3: held off for a few minutes, just whilst everyone got
Speaker 3: to have like a quick you know, like hugging a
Speaker 3: kiss from Felix, and then she could say, hey, can
Speaker 3: we go for a quick chat. She didn't have to
Speaker 3: run to him if he was out the door about
Speaker 3: to jump in a car and drive home and she
Speaker 3: ran out and said, Felix, stop, I need to chat
Speaker 3: to you. Sure, that's one thing, but the fact that
Speaker 3: she grabbed him so quickly, I think that's just inconsiderate,
Speaker 3: and I put the target on your back with the
Speaker 3: other women.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I get it. Yes, it's a bit inconsiderate.
Speaker 2: But the thing is, you're not there to make friends.
Speaker 2: You're not there to have line.
Speaker 3: I agree, that's such a bullshit.
Speaker 2: Line, But you're not You're there to show up and
Speaker 2: be with the bachelor first and foremost.
Speaker 3: Yes, but at the same time, you're gonna make friends
Speaker 3: at the same time. Who came to my wedding? Clancy did?
Speaker 3: When did I meet him? The bachelourette?
Speaker 2: Yeah, guess who came to my wedding? You, and guess
Speaker 2: who I didn't need? There all the women who you
Speaker 2: had made out with in the Bachelor Mansion. Weird, Hey,
Speaker 2: you are so selfish. To be fair, I still have
Speaker 2: girlfriends who I made friends with. But you know, there
Speaker 2: were people who I didn't feel like I was in
Speaker 2: competition with. When I say that, not because I didn't
Speaker 2: feel like they had a chance, but because I felt
Speaker 2: like we understood what the show was like. We understood
Speaker 2: what the competition was.
Speaker 3: Sure. Sure, but here's an analogy. When I go to
Speaker 3: the shops, who am I buying food for the family?
Speaker 3: But do I cut old people off and like take
Speaker 3: the last carrot? No? I don't. I'm considerate.
Speaker 2: Why are we talking about carrots?
Speaker 3: Every time I get a carrot, I think of last
Speaker 3: episode we had dinner tonight. I saw the carrots and
Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh my god, it's Abigail. It's Abigail's
Speaker 3: bloody carrots, thirty of them. I'm let's talk about single dates, okay,
Speaker 3: all right?
Speaker 2: So single dates were jed piled off with Angela. Angela
Speaker 2: is the tennis girl. She has had zero airtime thus far,
Speaker 2: very very beautiful. Then Thomas had a single date with Lauren.
Speaker 3: Who the hell's Lauren?
Speaker 2: She's popped out of nowhere.
Speaker 3: She literally has popped out of nowhere.
Speaker 2: She's an intruder. We didn't know that there are intruders,
Speaker 2: but here she is.
Speaker 3: I'm not being funny, I'm not being funny. She's great,
Speaker 3: love Lauren, but I have not seen her at all
Speaker 3: the entire series.
Speaker 2: To be fair, it seems like Ninea had Thomas because
Speaker 2: he said multiple times, where did you come from?
Speaker 3: And He's like, seriously, where the fuck did you come from?
Speaker 2: I think he was actually, you know, most people say
Speaker 2: that it is like a really nice.
Speaker 3: That was the funniest thing I've ever said, Thank you,
Speaker 3: Oh it's great.
Speaker 2: Most people say where did you come from? As like
Speaker 2: a romantic thing. He was just truly fucking confused, and
Speaker 2: so were the rest of us. And then she come
Speaker 2: as no surprise to anyone except for maybe Crystal. That
Speaker 2: feelings Tilly, what is wrong with you? Do you know
Speaker 2: what's wrong with you? That you haven't been breathing enough.
Speaker 3: Oxygen de brivee from doing laps underwater?
Speaker 2: You're you've cooked your brandy.
Speaker 3: Blink at me and I'm like stop it, ah.
Speaker 2: Okay, So Felix and Tilly, Felix and Tinny, Tilly.
Speaker 3: Really, we're good. We're good.
Speaker 2: All right, we're good.
Speaker 3: We're good.
Speaker 2: Felix and Tilly go on the single day and Tilly
Speaker 2: at this time, as much as they've had a lot
Speaker 2: of physical interaction, they actually haven't had a single date
Speaker 2: or had any time to actually get to know each
Speaker 2: other a bit better.
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm really intrigued to see, is like, Okay,
Speaker 3: they obviously have the chemistry there, but you know, how
Speaker 3: are they going to remove that for a second and
Speaker 3: really get to know each other? And I want to
Speaker 3: know Tilly? Like who is Tilly?
Speaker 6: I'm a big food I'm a dinner girl, though I'm
Speaker 6: not a brunch girl.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, I like going out for dinners as like a
Speaker 6: nice street I think brunch get made. It's just as
Speaker 6: good at home.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of small talk in the conversation.
Speaker 5: It's like a tennis match, you know. Right now I'm
Speaker 5: struggling to serve and I'm struggling to return cans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you just hit me with the classic pub test?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Because the sexual tension is palpable. I feel like I
Speaker 5: have small feet though bes I was thirteen six six
Speaker 5: am I telling on myself that I.
Speaker 2: Look to be fair. I think once again, i'm medical editing.
Speaker 2: I do think that it's a very clever way of
Speaker 2: making it seem like there conversations were really superficial. In
Speaker 2: top line, I'm sure that they had more to discuss
Speaker 2: than what we saw in the same way. Okay, if
Speaker 2: anyone remembers our season, this still haunts me. On our
Speaker 2: final like.
Speaker 3: We go, I've heard this story so many times. Move on,
Speaker 3: Laura put it to bed.
Speaker 2: Fucking traumatize. So when we were in Thailand and I
Speaker 2: met Matt's mum and his brothers for the first.
Speaker 3: Time, I'm going to make a drink. You tell the story.
Speaker 2: So when I met them for the first time, we
Speaker 2: had a beautiful meeting. I had such a beautiful time
Speaker 2: meeting Matt's mum. It was so nice. Even your mom
Speaker 2: like Matt's mum and I we're very close. It was
Speaker 2: a really really special time. However, if you watched that
Speaker 2: episode back, they frantically cut the way that I was
Speaker 2: speaking to make it seem like I didn't have like
Speaker 2: it made it seem like I had lost all agency
Speaker 2: and I was just absolutely spewing word.
Speaker 3: What was the question that you couldn't answer?
Speaker 2: Oh, they asked me what my hobby was, and I
Speaker 2: was like, grown humans don't have hobbies. We don't swim
Speaker 2: laps of a pool. So I was confused by what
Speaker 2: my hobby was. I was like, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: don't collect fucking buttons. Who has hobbies? And then I
Speaker 2: thought about it more afterwards, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: going to the beach. I guess that's a hobby, but like,
Speaker 2: what a we what are your hobbies? That was from
Speaker 2: Matt's younger brother.
Speaker 3: He was trying to get to know you.
Speaker 2: He was he was okay, but anyway, basically, they frantically
Speaker 2: cut my speaking to Matt's mum and made it seem
Speaker 2: like I was insane. And I even remember speaking to
Speaker 2: the producers afterwards because they do this thing, you know,
Speaker 2: the call the voxie, where you speak directly to.
Speaker 3: The camera, like recap what just happened?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the producer will ask you questions and you answer
Speaker 2: to the camera. And I remember them asking me and
Speaker 2: being like, oh, were you really nervous because you spoke
Speaker 2: so much? That was quite awkward, and I was like,
Speaker 2: what was it? And then I was answering their questions,
Speaker 2: but they already had an agenda for how they were
Speaker 2: going to clip that together. They already had a plan
Speaker 2: for if.
Speaker 3: That helps you sleep better at night, Laura, than sure
Speaker 3: you take that opinion.
Speaker 2: Okay, what in your opinion? How to go?
Speaker 3: You know, I was very worried at that point. I
Speaker 3: was like, man, Laura has absolutely bottle this date. My
Speaker 3: mum is very concerned. She's on the fence. Tom was saying, Man,
Speaker 3: I don't know about this girl.
Speaker 2: Take the other one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, every time I would like look
Speaker 3: over the fence and see how the chat was going,
Speaker 3: it was just you there, like Beadyi sweating, being like, ah,
Speaker 3: I need some hobbies, and I was like.
Speaker 2: Fuck, okay, We'll going back to Tilly for a second. Basically,
Speaker 2: the whole point of that very long monologue of my
Speaker 2: pent up trauma is because I think that they would
Speaker 2: have had way more to talk about and making it
Speaker 2: seem super top line is just a bit of an
Speaker 2: editing technique.
Speaker 3: I have heard from someone in production.
Speaker 2: Oh spicy.
Speaker 3: I asked him a question and said, what's Felix like?
Speaker 3: Because obviously we're seeing a side of him. I feel
Speaker 3: like most people are pretty much on the same page
Speaker 3: and that they haven't warmed to Felix a great deal.
Speaker 3: And I was like, is he the Felix that we're
Speaker 3: watching on TV? Is that the real Felix in you know,
Speaker 3: real life? And they said, no, it's not like he's
Speaker 3: one of the best people there. He was their favorite
Speaker 3: on the show. He is the nicest guy, very self aware,
Speaker 3: they said, and he's extremely sarcastic. And I feel like
Speaker 3: they were saying that his sarcasm and sarcasm is tricky
Speaker 3: because it depends on whether you like the person or
Speaker 3: not if you'll laugh along. And I feel like whenever
Speaker 3: we hear a sarcastic joke from Felix, it's always off
Speaker 3: the back of him doing something really bad. But apparently
Speaker 3: he's not being portrayed in the best possible light.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean like he has definitely come across very poorly.
Speaker 2: And I would say, going off the commentary on social
Speaker 2: media and also in our Facebook group, he is not
Speaker 2: particularly well liked as a bachelor. But I do think this,
Speaker 2: and it's something that we said in the very first episode.
Speaker 2: Editing can be a very powerful tool and it make
Speaker 2: you feel a certain way about someone, So I think,
Speaker 2: you know as much as we say what we say,
Speaker 2: and we talk about it and we unpack what we
Speaker 2: have seen on TV. I think always go into this
Speaker 2: stuff with a bit of open mind. Right anyway, getting
Speaker 2: back on track, because that was.
Speaker 3: Way too deep, Let's talk about Thomas's date, which I
Speaker 3: I think was going.
Speaker 2: No, I just wanted to talk about Tilly for a
Speaker 2: bit longer. They were kissing each other all night long.
Speaker 2: So you don't kiss me like that anymore, Maddy Jay.
Speaker 3: No, I don't. That was That's quite a show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great dinner show.
Speaker 3: It's really nice to see young love. It's nice to
Speaker 3: see that chemistry.
Speaker 2: Isn't it just But the thing that was a bit
Speaker 2: strange about it was that they weren't on single dates
Speaker 2: in isolation. They were all on the single date at
Speaker 2: the same place. So the other two, so Jed and
Speaker 2: Angela and Thomas and Lauren were just kind of watching
Speaker 2: Tilly and Felix mac On for the entire day.
Speaker 3: Jed and Angela a bit of a boring date, you
Speaker 3: could say, not much was happening, just a lot of
Speaker 3: like chit chat. Then you look over and at Felix
Speaker 3: and Tilly.
Speaker 2: And shit, it's all happening.
Speaker 3: I'd make you realize my date's going really badly when
Speaker 3: those two are there are like getting it on.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean not if you're Thomas, because he did
Speaker 2: have some very profound things to say.
Speaker 7: For me, a relationship is all about and committing to
Speaker 7: growth and individuals like obviously like loving each other so deeply,
Speaker 7: but also having a vision together and just like growing
Speaker 7: together as individuals but also as a power couple.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So that's really really really important to me. Yeah, because
Speaker 7: like if you're not growing, you're dying, and so like
Speaker 7: growing together as a couple just makes you so much stronger. Yeah,
Speaker 7: and that's really really important to me because I've been
Speaker 7: in relationships where I just haven't grown and then it
Speaker 7: just it just became what it was.
Speaker 2: Ah, if you're not growing, you were dying.
Speaker 3: So sorry.
Speaker 2: What if you are not growing, you are dying. What
Speaker 2: about people who have stopped growing? I reckon, I've stopped growing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what about a ken do you come at home?
Speaker 2: It's definitely stopped, It's all I mean, I think that
Speaker 2: that actually serves the purpose of the quote. It's certainly dying.
Speaker 3: But credit to Lauren who was like yes, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: oh well, said Thomas. I completely agree.
Speaker 2: It sounds like, do you know when someone's going through
Speaker 2: a bad breakup and they start posting Instagram quotes, like
Speaker 2: you find a quote, you post it, and you know
Speaker 2: it's actually just pointed at that one person, and everyone
Speaker 2: else who's like slightly more sane than the per and
Speaker 2: going through a breakup, looks at it and goes, oh,
Speaker 2: that person's going through a bit of a hard time.
Speaker 3: Thomas has definitely had a breakup and posted if you're
Speaker 3: not growing, You're dying.
Speaker 2: So then after this combined group date, the girls all
Speaker 2: get taken back to the batchpad, but Chicken, they're Batchellers.
Speaker 2: It turns into another weird polyamory date.
Speaker 3: I thought this is going to be one of the
Speaker 3: overnights because I feel like I don't know if I'm
Speaker 3: making this up. I feel like it's been teased that
Speaker 3: there will be an overnight element. I have you heard?
Speaker 3: Have you that rumor? So?
Speaker 2: I heard a rumor that somebody has had sex on
Speaker 2: this season from who?
Speaker 3: Though? I feel did I make that up? Where's it
Speaker 3: coming from?
Speaker 2: I heard this? If you guys know anything, Like I've
Speaker 2: had a few people slide into the DMS with some
Speaker 2: saucy information. What have they said, Oh something, No, let's
Speaker 2: not get into let's not get into gossip. We're not
Speaker 2: a gossip podcast.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna you're like, I've had some really crazy messages.
Speaker 3: What have they said, Laura, Oh, I can't say. Well,
Speaker 3: why fucking say it?
Speaker 2: Just to build suspense. Maybe I'll say it later on
Speaker 2: some me more, you know, if people have had some
Speaker 2: sexy times though, I'd love to know, just for my
Speaker 2: own personal interest. Anyway, So they get into the pool
Speaker 2: and Tilly and Felix are going at it. They are
Speaker 2: like they're the sexual chemistry is on point. They are
Speaker 2: grinding each other, they are kissing, they're eating each other's face.
Speaker 3: It is It's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt was lovely to watch watch. Matt had absolutely
Speaker 2: no objections to watching that part of the show. The
Speaker 2: only thing that was kind of weird, My god, it
Speaker 2: was like, this isn't really I mean, that felt like
Speaker 2: a single date thing that should happen on a single
Speaker 2: date on their own.
Speaker 3: Then who creeps in the back. It's Thomas.
Speaker 2: Thomas and Lauren are in the pool with Felix and Tilly, who,
Speaker 2: like you know, are just juicing it all up, and
Speaker 2: they're just sitting in their juices waiting. It's so weird,
Speaker 2: like they're sitting there waiting to kiss.
Speaker 3: To You don't know, do you think Thomas knew what
Speaker 3: was happening or do you think do you think maybe
Speaker 3: they were like, you know, around the corner and he
Speaker 3: was like, hey, we've got a heated pool inside. Why
Speaker 3: don't we go for a bloody Swimmer's gonna be lovely
Speaker 3: in there. It's like twenty four degrees and they're walking
Speaker 3: on the corner and it's just like Tilly and Felix
Speaker 3: going at it or do you reckon? Thomas saw them
Speaker 3: going at it and goes, I want in on that.
Speaker 3: It's jumping the pool. Let's get a little bit close.
Speaker 2: I reckon. Thomas walked in and he was like monkey
Speaker 2: see monkey, Yeah, Like, is this what's gonna happen for me?
Speaker 2: They just sat in the pool and were watching Felix
Speaker 2: and Tilly, and Lauren was.
Speaker 3: Like, let's get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 2: Why should he get.
Speaker 5: Sorry, Tommy bad get another pool? Is a jacuzzi in
Speaker 5: the back. We need the space. They're just sitting there
Speaker 5: having a nice little champagne. No this is this is playtime.
Speaker 3: It's time to play. I love him. Felix's great. Is
Speaker 3: he What a guy? What a gentleman?
Speaker 2: Hey, you've really done a one eighty, haven't you.
Speaker 3: I'm trying my hardest to get behind Felix. He's entertaining.
Speaker 2: Okay, I will give him that. It makes for great
Speaker 2: TV to watch.
Speaker 3: This season would be nothing without Felix. It would be boring.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, well, it would be exactly like the
Speaker 2: old Bachelor. It would just be The Bachelor, except with
Speaker 2: two of them.
Speaker 3: Are you calling me boring?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: I love you.
Speaker 2: It's great. Okay, let's talk about Angela and Jed. Speaking
Speaker 2: of boring. They are lovely, like they are divine, they
Speaker 2: are lovely people. I think that they have a lovely connection.
Speaker 2: I also think that there's more going on there that
Speaker 2: we haven't really seen. Also, keep note of this because
Speaker 2: I always noticed this, and I wonder if other people
Speaker 2: do as well. Angela had it her lipstick smudged all
Speaker 2: the way up to her nose, which meant that they
Speaker 2: had been macking on for a lot more than what
Speaker 2: we saw. We only saw them kiss like a one
Speaker 2: little kiss at the end.
Speaker 3: And I reckon.
Speaker 2: They had been like the whole time.
Speaker 3: She also had a tit out and Jed was sitting
Speaker 3: there with a massive erection, which I was like, sang
Speaker 3: on a second.
Speaker 2: You can't call it a tit.
Speaker 3: He was covered in pre com he was saturated, and
Speaker 3: he hadn't been in the pool, and I was like,
Speaker 3: good editing there by producers.
Speaker 2: It was just feelings because it was all over the
Speaker 2: house because of him.
Speaker 3: That was discussed and he was like thanks to the date.
Speaker 3: He stood up and he was like and I was like,
Speaker 3: clever editing at it again. Okay, So Felix is just
Speaker 3: made me really horny. Okay, I'm very sexual right now.
Speaker 2: In conclusion, yes, the single dates for all three were
Speaker 2: a success. Thomas is really into Lauren, Jed is into
Speaker 2: Angela feels.
Speaker 3: He's not into Angela, Lucia whatever her name is.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're like past the halfway point. Now, who do
Speaker 2: you think is going to win? Because I still don't
Speaker 2: know and this is the first time. This is the
Speaker 2: very first season which I'm going to say, you know,
Speaker 2: hats off to the Bachelor. It's the first season that
Speaker 2: I do not know.
Speaker 3: I reckon Jed will be with Alicia. Is that is
Speaker 3: that a name? Yeah, Alicia, Alicia, Alicia. I think Thomas
Speaker 3: will be with Kiki for sure, even though they have
Speaker 3: that jeopardy of the fact that she has five kids,
Speaker 3: twelve kids, whatever it is, and she does want more kids.
Speaker 3: I don't know about Felix. I can't. Part of me
Speaker 3: is like, surely he won't pick Jass. Surely it'll be
Speaker 3: Tilly's too obvious. Do you think Crystal?
Speaker 2: No, maybe not the fuck up? Maybe maybe they've been
Speaker 2: stitched to the fuck up.
Speaker 3: Do you reckon it's Crystal?
Speaker 2: Maybe scandalous? Oh my god, I don't think it's Jess.
Speaker 2: I think they went too hard on Jess too early.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's not going to be Jess. Maybe
Speaker 2: it'll be it's Crystal. Maybe it'll be Tilly, it's Crystal.
Speaker 2: But I I just something in me and I'm probably wrong,
Speaker 2: and that will just reconfirm to everybody that we know nothing,
Speaker 2: which we've already said it's Crystal. I think it might
Speaker 2: be Crystal.
Speaker 3: Holy shit, why are you so?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just guessing.
Speaker 3: Who have you spoken to?
Speaker 4: No one?
Speaker 2: This is nothing. If I had been sent this, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't say it so my gosh, I don't know, I'm
Speaker 2: just guessing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do rumor again. Apparently one is still together
Speaker 3: one bachelor couple who.
Speaker 2: Told you this?
Speaker 3: I can't remember.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're getting really off track. Yeah okay, wait wait
Speaker 2: wait and Thomas. I think Thomas is going to pick
Speaker 2: Kiky or what's the other on Jasmine.
Speaker 3: Key? Group date?
Speaker 2: All right, group date. So the group date, they went
Speaker 2: out to a field and they played some botchy and
Speaker 2: some I don't even know what it's called.
Speaker 3: What is it called? Croquet?
Speaker 2: Yeah, stuff that you would do, like in that one
Speaker 2: hour between when a wedding ceremony finishes and they've got
Speaker 2: to go and have their photos taken, just like those
Speaker 2: really dumb games that no one ever actually plays. Everyone's
Speaker 2: just there to drink piss, but like people will stand
Speaker 2: around with croquet sticks. That's what they played exactly right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so that happened. But the big scandal at the group
Speaker 2: date is that christ is freaking out because Tilly has
Speaker 2: obviously spent really intimate time with Feelings, and now Crystal
Speaker 2: keeps saying, you know, like what did I want to
Speaker 2: know if anything happened? If anything happened, She's clearly implying
Speaker 2: she wants to know if they had sex, Like she
Speaker 2: wants to know if it's gone beyond just making out
Speaker 2: and if anything sexual has happened between them.
Speaker 3: Now. I love Crystal. I've been very vocal about the
Speaker 3: fact that I'm a big fan of her work. I
Speaker 3: just think that right now, the fact that she's latched
Speaker 3: onto this so much, Oh my gosh, it's making me.
Speaker 3: It's making it really hard for me to still keep
Speaker 3: that love level with Crystal at at premium.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that, I mean, this is really
Speaker 2: where her storyline is changing. And I think a lot
Speaker 2: of people watch that episode and was like, WHOA, I
Speaker 2: don't like the version of Crystal that I'm seeing. And
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are always like, ah,
Speaker 2: I'm saying my true colors. Well, you're seeing someone be
Speaker 2: jealous and be upset because they're hurt. I get it.
Speaker 2: It is not nice, but there's definitely some massive jealousy
Speaker 2: going on there, although Crystal denies that it's even.
Speaker 4: Though it is some people might think it comes from
Speaker 4: a place of jealousy, it's not that at all. Why
Speaker 4: he's so stressed, because I just want to know because
Speaker 4: they spend hours together, and I feel like I didn't
Speaker 4: get it along with them before on my single day.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think it's one thing to ask Tilly what happened,
Speaker 3: but then asking Felix what happened? You don't do that.
Speaker 3: That doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: Okay, So Crystal went and she asked Felix point blank
Speaker 2: what happened between Tilly and him on their single date.
Speaker 2: And now, look, I'm not one to encourage lying. I
Speaker 2: don't think that lying is good in any relationship. But
Speaker 2: you can't soften the truth. You can't just go in
Speaker 2: with like a little bit of the information disagree.
Speaker 3: You're got to be honest.
Speaker 2: Well, Felix seems to be.
Speaker 3: Ah, we got in the pool. Yeah, we're hooking up.
Speaker 5: It was just a steamy, full session world.
Speaker 4: There you go.
Speaker 3: So it's Tommy and we're in there as well. It's
Speaker 3: just who was out of control? Felix? What the hell
Speaker 3: is wrong with you?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? It's like, what, there's two things
Speaker 2: you could do. One of them would make the situation
Speaker 2: worse and one of them would make the situation better.
Speaker 2: And he's gone, Aha, I know what to do. I
Speaker 2: will tell her exactly what happened, and how steamy and
Speaker 2: fucking out of control and delicious it was. You're like,
Speaker 2: she was so hot it was I had a raging erection.
Speaker 3: She's got the best tits, doesn't she, Tilly.
Speaker 2: I'm saying tits. Where does this come from? You've said
Speaker 2: tits twice in this episode. That's very unlike you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll hanging a second. I'm just going to rejig
Speaker 3: the last conversation. Maybe he doesn't end up with Crystal
Speaker 3: because if he did, obviously he wouldn't be so upfront
Speaker 3: about what's happened in the night before on the single
Speaker 3: date with Tilly.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I'm just trying to think the most extreme
Speaker 2: option because surely, down, surely he can't pick Jess. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Felix is a mystery.
Speaker 3: Okay, So after the group date, we had the rose
Speaker 3: ceremony and Ebony Ebony, Ebony has gone home, as do.
Speaker 2: You think Ebony is the last of the people who
Speaker 2: no one knows who they are?
Speaker 3: No, there's still a few people that they cut to
Speaker 3: them very briefly. The camera angles are always super shaky
Speaker 3: and out of focus, and so I'm like, who is
Speaker 3: that person? But there's three or four. Who I'm like,
Speaker 3: I've not heard you say more than three words.
Speaker 2: So how are we going to get through all of
Speaker 2: them next week and get to the winners next week?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Really impossible.
Speaker 3: I thought we had two weeks left and then someone said, no,
Speaker 3: it's finals week. Next week is finals week. That's it.
Speaker 3: We're over.
Speaker 2: Okay. We are believing a lot of rumors on this episode.
Speaker 2: That is something that I have noticed. It may not
Speaker 2: be next week, it could be the week after. We
Speaker 2: have no idea. We're just guessing.
Speaker 3: Sure, we don't know.
Speaker 2: At this point in time. We know nothing.
Speaker 3: Either way. There's either one or two bat jungk Cite
Speaker 3: episodes left, so savor every second right now, soak it up,
Speaker 3: take a moment, and.
Speaker 2: If Matt keeps doing laps and not breathing for extended
Speaker 2: periods of time, there might be none.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, guys, that is it from us. That's pretty much
Speaker 2: all that happened on this stay. Oh no, wait, what
Speaker 2: there's one more thing.
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 2: Tash is back? Oh my god, I mean like, let's
Speaker 2: just throw that in. We don't know what happens, but
Speaker 2: she's here, she's back, she's talking to jets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was spliced in because the guys after the
Speaker 3: Rose Demony, guys come back to the batch pad who
Speaker 3: was there. She's climbed up the Q one building in
Speaker 3: the Gold Coast. She smashed the window and I'm bad
Speaker 3: and she's literally yeah, it's it's kind of scary. The
Speaker 3: lights are dimmed.
Speaker 2: She's an intruder.
Speaker 3: Well, Felix think he thinks it's a burglar, so he's
Speaker 3: he crash tackles her to the ground and puts her
Speaker 3: in it like a a chicken wing hole.
Speaker 2: And they slip on Felix's cinnamon which is still on
Speaker 2: the floor from the night before. They slip over it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Tash is in hospital, so it's who knows
Speaker 3: how this is going to end up? Sure okay, surely
Speaker 3: she They have to just kick it straight out.
Speaker 2: I reckon. Felix is going to say not Felix. Jed's
Speaker 2: going to say, nah, like you've done your dad. He
Speaker 2: has to do right, You've done your dash, Tash time
Speaker 2: to I don't know, smash rush dash, You've done your Okay,
