Speaker 1: Hi, guys, and a welcome to a very special Little
Speaker 1: Sexy Bonus episode where I'm right and Maddie Johnson's wrong.
Speaker 1: Jay unfortunately went home. How does it feel, Matt.
Speaker 2: Look, it's very disappointing. I know that Jay's had a
Speaker 2: heartbroken here, which, yes, that is disappointing in its own sense.
Speaker 2: But more importantly, I'm wrong. I've lost the bet I
Speaker 2: lost to Laura BYRN and I hate losing it sucks.
Speaker 1: I wish we'd made the bet something more substantial. It
Speaker 1: was fifty dollars, and I guarantee you I'll never see
Speaker 1: that fifty dollars.
Speaker 2: Was it even fifty dollars? I'm pretty sure that we
Speaker 2: had a bet whoever one gets sex.
Speaker 1: I was like, I would prefer sleep, please.
Speaker 2: So the good news is, Laura, you'll get laid tonight.
Speaker 1: Lucky me. Anyway, Guys, on today's episode, we are interviewing Jay,
Speaker 1: who if you saw last night's Bachelor episode, she went home.
Speaker 1: Jimmy kicked it to the curb. See later, Chess girl.
Speaker 2: I don't think we've ever had one contestant that's been
Speaker 2: plagued by so many rumors. It was like every week
Speaker 2: there was something new, so we have a lot to
Speaker 2: debunk with our love a little Jay.
Speaker 1: We even find out that Jay is not a real name.
Speaker 1: D Anyway, guys, let's get into the chat with Jay.
Speaker 1: We have our normal batch uncut episode coming to you
Speaker 1: tomorrow on Friday, and we've also got a couple of
Speaker 1: other sexy little bonus episodes in store for you as well.
Speaker 2: Getting a little bit emotional, it's the home run. It's
Speaker 2: the last few strides until we cross the finish line
Speaker 2: and then it's all over.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with yourself when you're no
Speaker 1: longer behind the microphone?
Speaker 2: Don't know? Good question?
Speaker 1: Clean? It would be nice clean.
Speaker 2: Probably not clean. I'll still keep thinking. I'm sure something
Speaker 2: will pop up and grab me.
Speaker 1: Well long, Glenn, don't spend too much time thinking of
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, let's get into the interview with Jay. Jay,
Speaker 1: Welcome to life on card. Thank you for having me, Matt,
Speaker 1: how are you feeling, Jay?
Speaker 2: I'm annoyed?
Speaker 3: Annoyed?
Speaker 2: Why only fifty bucks because that's what I've got to
Speaker 2: pay Laura?
Speaker 3: What did you Laura? Did you think I wasn't gonna win?
Speaker 1: I see I picked Holly on the day one we
Speaker 1: put our bets down and I was like, I reckon,
Speaker 1: it's blondie and that was like, nah, chess girl.
Speaker 2: She's my girl.
Speaker 1: And then you know what, Sorry, give me a real
Speaker 1: problem in our house.
Speaker 3: Jay, I'm so sorry to let you down.
Speaker 2: I'm very disappointed.
Speaker 3: It's not my fault.
Speaker 1: Blame Jimmy, Jimmy. Mate, We're coming for you. Jay. Look,
Speaker 1: we do have a couple of things that we want
Speaker 1: to do bunk now. There's been a lot of rumors
Speaker 1: that have been flying around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my god, and I.
Speaker 1: Feel like this is the opportunity that you can use
Speaker 1: to clear the air. So let's just like hit them
Speaker 1: one by one.
Speaker 2: Okay, First up, is your name actually Jay?
Speaker 3: No, it's just Center for more Lies. Sorry, guys, I
Speaker 3: just bring this on you. No, my name's actually just
Speaker 3: sent it.
Speaker 4: And I had to give a nickname because I don't
Speaker 4: know if you guys remember, but there was a girl
Speaker 4: at the beginning who also had the same name as me,
Speaker 4: which is so weird because just Sina's not really comment.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I don't remember that other. But I
Speaker 2: had the same problem because we had two mats, and
Speaker 2: so I had to be called a nickname. Which is
Speaker 2: why I was called Maddi j Ah.
Speaker 3: Do you go, like, do you prefer Maddie Jay Matt?
Speaker 2: Well, now it's just kind of become the norm, but
Speaker 2: it does feel a little bit immature when you're in
Speaker 2: your mid thirties and you've got two kids and you're like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm Maddie J.
Speaker 3: Maddy J.
Speaker 1: It's just his stage name.
Speaker 2: I like Maddi J and I like Jay as well.
Speaker 1: All Right, guys, stop it, I'm still here. I know
Speaker 1: it's been very excited about doing this interview with Jay. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's just hit these from the top. Jay, do
Speaker 1: you want to have kids?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, this is this.
Speaker 4: Was probably the most annoying rumor because I really really
Speaker 4: really want kids, and if my mum ever found out
Speaker 4: that I didn't want kid should kill So, yeah, I
Speaker 4: do want kids, and I'm thirty two, so I kind
Speaker 4: of want kids soon.
Speaker 1: All Right, Jay's mum, don't worry. Okay, You're gonna be
Speaker 1: a nana one day.
Speaker 2: Next question, do you actually played chess?
Speaker 3: I do I do? Do you guys play?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I watched The Queen's Gambits.
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone played that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I learned probably about four years ago, so I
Speaker 4: haven't played Growing Up or anything, and I just got
Speaker 4: obsessed with it.
Speaker 3: I love it. It's so much fun.
Speaker 1: I'm not very good with games in general. I don't
Speaker 1: have the patience for these sorts of things, and that
Speaker 1: you just keep hijacking it, not actually debunking the real rumors.
Speaker 2: Actually the rumors that we needed to get to the
Speaker 2: bottom of. These are ones that are just popping up
Speaker 2: randomly in my head. But yeah, the baby one. That
Speaker 2: was when that started, I got a little bit nervous.
Speaker 2: At that point. I was still going really hard on
Speaker 2: the fact that I thought you were going to win.
Speaker 2: But I thought, hey, one little speed bump in the road,
Speaker 2: not a major issue. We can get past this. And
Speaker 2: I think the next rumor after that was it.
Speaker 1: Did you actually want to come second?
Speaker 2: Yes, Tarany's rumor.
Speaker 3: Yeah one.
Speaker 4: This is also another funny one, because I just don't
Speaker 4: know how coming second would be better than winning. I
Speaker 4: don't think, like heaven your heart broken on national television
Speaker 4: is better than you know, falling in love.
Speaker 1: I mean, it turned out okay for Mattie j.
Speaker 2: But apart from him, sometimes sometimes coming second is actually
Speaker 2: quite beneficial in the long run.
Speaker 1: Oh really?
Speaker 3: Oh well, so that's another thing.
Speaker 4: Also, probably one of the biggest mistakes I made going
Speaker 4: onto the show is I didn't really watch.
Speaker 3: The Batchel of Australia.
Speaker 4: I think I only ever watched the first season with
Speaker 4: Anna and Tim years years and years ago.
Speaker 3: So even if that was a thing.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have even known, and I probably should have
Speaker 4: watched more episodes before actually going on to the TV show.
Speaker 1: What to be fairther I made that same mistake. I
Speaker 1: didn't really watch any of The Australian Bachelor before I
Speaker 1: went on the show, and I almost think that it
Speaker 1: made me more resistant to the process, like it was.
Speaker 1: Actually it was detrimental to my experience because I was like,
Speaker 1: everyone here is trying to fuck with me, instead of
Speaker 1: just being able to give into the process a little
Speaker 1: bit more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just want to double check, Jay. Did you
Speaker 2: say it as a joke, potentially talking about when you
Speaker 2: wanted to come second and you know, when you say, hey,
Speaker 2: if I don't win, it's not all bad. Maybe you
Speaker 2: know I'll come runner up and that'll suit me just fine.
Speaker 2: Did you throw it out there as a bit of
Speaker 2: a self defense mechanism, perhaps.
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. That never came out of my mouth
Speaker 4: and I would never ever say that. So no, okay,
Speaker 4: and I'll stick to that. So I'll take that to
Speaker 4: my grave. I never see that, and I would never
Speaker 4: say that even as a joke.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're debunking the rumors here now the last
Speaker 1: one and this isn't a rumor. It's the one that
Speaker 1: came up last night on the show, and it was
Speaker 1: seemed to be like the next kind of hurdle that
Speaker 1: you guys had to overcome. Obviously, at Hometown's one of
Speaker 1: your close friends talked to Jimmy about how you had
Speaker 1: dated someone who was in the public eye. And then
Speaker 1: last night on your very special like last final Date,
Speaker 1: you had to have the conversation that the person you
Speaker 1: had dated was actually the Bachelor of New Zealand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is crazy. Okay, So it turns out you've seen
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, but just not the Australian version.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, did you guys date before he was the Bachelor
Speaker 1: or after he was the Bachelor?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: So I dated him literally when I was twenty six
Speaker 4: and I'm thirty two.
Speaker 3: Now he became the Bachelor.
Speaker 4: Well, it was released that he was the Bachelor five
Speaker 4: days before I went into filming for the Bechel of Australia.
Speaker 4: So it was all a huge coincidence. And I dated
Speaker 4: the guy for a couple of months. It wasn't quite
Speaker 4: a significant relationship in my life, so I found this
Speaker 4: so irrelevant.
Speaker 3: I just don't know why it was made such a
Speaker 3: big dealer.
Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting though, because the way that
Speaker 1: it came across when with and maybe it did partly
Speaker 1: go with the editing, because I felt like there was
Speaker 1: more to that conversation than we actually saw what happened.
Speaker 1: But the way it came across was that you guys
Speaker 1: had dated after he was the Bachelor, and that the
Speaker 1: reason why you had dated was because, oh, like you know,
Speaker 1: it's so attractive to date the bachelor. But now, obviously
Speaker 1: this is somebody who's from far in your past. So
Speaker 1: I feel like this we've debunked the rumors.
Speaker 2: Matt.
Speaker 1: I feel good about this.
Speaker 2: But when you were twenty six, did you have any
Speaker 2: kind of feeling that maybe he would become the Bachelor
Speaker 2: in the future, six years down the track?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know what, Yeah, I predicted that he would be
Speaker 4: the Bachelor in six years time, and then I would
Speaker 4: go on to the bachel Australia.
Speaker 3: I just yeah, I can tell the future, guys.
Speaker 2: So that's storyline pretty much sucked up almost the entire
Speaker 2: date that you and Jimmy had. Is that how it
Speaker 2: played out? Or was that just a small portion of
Speaker 2: what you guys talked about.
Speaker 4: To be honest, that was a very memorable part of
Speaker 4: that date for me because it caught me off guard.
Speaker 4: I had no idea he was gonna ask me about
Speaker 4: that because it was so irrelevant.
Speaker 3: So I do feel like it was a big part
Speaker 3: of the date.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, but prior to that, I think all the rumors
Speaker 4: that surrounded me were over exaggerated on TV because there
Speaker 4: were a lot of really nice moments Thatjimmy and I
Speaker 4: had that weren't shown, which was a bit upsetting, But
Speaker 4: I guess it wasn't dramatic enough.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: No, it definitely felt like each date, and I think
Speaker 1: like from the tennis date that you guys had, it
Speaker 1: felt like each date a component of your date was
Speaker 1: you having to like defend yourself or protect yourself or
Speaker 1: debunk something that had happened. You said like that you
Speaker 1: didn't really feel like that was a big part. Did
Speaker 1: you at the time, did you really feel like you
Speaker 1: were having to defend yourself at each point along the way,
Speaker 1: or did you kind of feel like you guys were
Speaker 1: able to have this natural progression to your relationship.
Speaker 3: From the tennis So the tennis date was actually fine.
Speaker 4: I was like the way they showed the tennis date
Speaker 4: looked really bad and that we just spoke about the
Speaker 4: rumor about him hearing that I didn't want to have kids,
Speaker 4: But that was the tiniest part of that date. We
Speaker 4: literally played tennis, We laughed, we talked about our feelings.
Speaker 4: That was probably one of my favorite dates I had
Speaker 4: with Jimmy, which was a shame because.
Speaker 3: All you saw from that was literally the rumor.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, a lot of things like that happened, which
Speaker 4: was upsetting, but I guess it is what it is.
Speaker 2: I've got to ask Jay, your friend from your hometown
Speaker 2: date who brought up your famous ex. Have you since
Speaker 2: spoken to her and gone, what the fuck did you
Speaker 2: do that for?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a hard one to talk about, to be honest,
Speaker 4: that I have spoken to her since.
Speaker 1: Were you surprised last night? Like when we watched it,
Speaker 1: you seemed like you were surprised when Jimmy didn't choose you,
Speaker 1: did you feel, like, how did you feel in that moment?
Speaker 4: I had an inkling that he wasn't going to pick
Speaker 4: me that night, just because the last date he was
Speaker 4: still questioning my integrity. So I kind of prepared myself
Speaker 4: to not get a rose that night. But there was
Speaker 4: a little voice in the back of my head saying,
Speaker 4: maybe you're wrong, maybe you will.
Speaker 3: So part of me.
Speaker 4: Knew I was going home, and part of me was
Speaker 4: hoping that I wasn't going to go home. So it
Speaker 4: was a weird one because I kind of prepared for it,
Speaker 4: But you kind of can't prepare for it in a
Speaker 4: way because, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: You always hope for the best.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there is, Like I mean, obviously, like
Speaker 1: I am lucky Matt and I are still together, but
Speaker 1: I think like just just I've really done it to us? No,
Speaker 1: But I think you go into those situations and you
Speaker 1: like expect the worst but hope for the best. It's
Speaker 1: the only way to protect your heart. Like you almost
Speaker 1: can't go in there with the blind faith that it's
Speaker 1: going to be you because it's so fifty to fifty,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's so difficult to kind of feel
Speaker 1: confident in that environment. How did you feel about Jimmy
Speaker 1: at that point in time, Like, where were you at
Speaker 1: with your actual feelings towards him?
Speaker 4: I obviously I really really really liked him, and you
Speaker 4: can tell from when I left. I forgot because it's
Speaker 4: been so long since we filmed. I forgot how I
Speaker 4: felt about him back then. But watching that last night
Speaker 4: brought back all those feelings, and it reminded me that
Speaker 4: I did really like the guy and I could see
Speaker 4: a future with him.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was it was hard to watch last night.
Speaker 2: In your defense, if you did really want to make
Speaker 2: it to the runner up position, you should have just
Speaker 2: said I love you.
Speaker 4: I know it seems as I was sorry one that
Speaker 4: didn't say it.
Speaker 2: So do you think Jimmy in any way sent you
Speaker 2: home at number three just so you didn't get that
Speaker 2: runner up position that people were talking about.
Speaker 4: You know what, I wouldn't be surprised it would have
Speaker 4: looked so bad if I'd come runner up.
Speaker 1: You mentioned watching it back, you were feeling a little
Speaker 1: bit sad last night, and it does bring up sort
Speaker 1: of like I know, it's been a lot quite a
Speaker 1: while since the filming actually happened, and then watching it
Speaker 1: back on TV now it kind of throws you back
Speaker 1: into all of those feelings. But how did you feel
Speaker 1: watching that the entire season back? Do you feel like
Speaker 1: it was edited in a way that you would have expected.
Speaker 1: Was there anything that surprised you watching this season back?
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, like the way I was portrayed, I
Speaker 4: guess caught me off guard.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 4: I think a lot of the good moments that Jimmy
Speaker 4: and I had weren't shown, and a lot of me
Speaker 4: on the show was just basically trying to defend myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was almost the midway point where things started
Speaker 2: to turn. Because at the start, and that's why, and
Speaker 2: that's why I thought that you were going to win,
Speaker 2: because you had this dream run the start, the red
Speaker 2: carpet was perfect. You then got the business class lounge,
Speaker 2: and then every time you're in the lounge, you had
Speaker 2: these awesome activities planned, and I was like, this girl's
Speaker 2: showing of course she's gonna win.
Speaker 1: After your first date, which was like one of the
Speaker 1: most impressive dates where you guys had like the race cars,
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I kind of it was like
Speaker 1: literally like Land Sea Scout, like everything.
Speaker 2: The jet ski as well.
Speaker 1: It was incredible, and that kind of like was the
Speaker 1: one date of the season that really felt like true
Speaker 1: Bachelor's style or you know, like Jimmy had pulled out
Speaker 1: all the big guns literally for this date. And I
Speaker 1: wasn't even aware of this, but when we did one
Speaker 1: of the batch on Cut episodes and Matt sort of said,
Speaker 1: you know, when you're super into a girl, that's the
Speaker 1: girl that you save the really exciting, expensive dates for.
Speaker 3: And oh, that's good. That's good to know.
Speaker 1: Coming off the back of that date at that point
Speaker 1: in time, how did you feel going back into the mansion?
Speaker 1: Were you feeling really confident? Were you like this, I
Speaker 1: could be the girl at the end here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And after that date, I definitely felt that way.
Speaker 4: And that made my feelings a lot stronger towards him
Speaker 4: as well, because like going into the business lounge, you
Speaker 4: get this uninterrupted time that you're still conscious of the
Speaker 4: other girls. You're feeling a little bit bare that you're
Speaker 4: taking the time. I don't know, did you feel like
Speaker 4: that when you were on it? Did you feel conscious
Speaker 4: of the other girls the whole time?
Speaker 2: We didn't have anything that was the equivalent to a
Speaker 2: business class lounge. So it was always kind of up
Speaker 2: to no girl got special treatment where she could get
Speaker 2: uninterrupted time. So it's a little bit different.
Speaker 1: On our season, Yeah, we had a thing called the
Speaker 1: Secret Guarded and we weren't able to take Matt there.
Speaker 1: Matt would choose one girl and take them there, so
Speaker 1: it was a lot more evenly distributed.
Speaker 2: But I took you there a fair bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It was always like it's like, come on, let's
Speaker 1: go back. Yeah, I come on. I think you took
Speaker 1: every girl to the Like, every single chick on our
Speaker 1: season got a time in the secret Garden. It wasn't
Speaker 1: that secret. But knowing like from the very beginning that
Speaker 1: you had this preferential treatment and that you did have
Speaker 1: the business class lounge, how did you feel your relationship
Speaker 1: was with the girls in the house. Did you feel
Speaker 1: a little bit like there was a target on your back?
Speaker 1: And I think almost seeing how many times you were
Speaker 1: kind of thrown under the bus, it did feel like
Speaker 1: maybe there was some animosity in the house with you
Speaker 1: and the other girls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, initially I thought that I didn't have a target
Speaker 4: on my back. I felt like I had good relationships
Speaker 4: with all of the girls because I'm a real girls girl,
Speaker 4: and I would never put a guy in front of girls.
Speaker 4: And I would always want Jimmy to like me for me,
Speaker 4: not because I was fighting another girl to get him,
Speaker 4: if that makes sense. So I had a good relationship
Speaker 4: with most of the girls in the house, in fact,
Speaker 4: all of the girls in the house, I thought, And
Speaker 4: it wasn't until the rumors surface that I realized that
Speaker 4: I did have a target on my back. So I
Speaker 4: think I was a little bit naive in that sense.
Speaker 2: Did Steph reach out prior to that episode making it
Speaker 2: on air to say, Hey, Jay, just so you know,
Speaker 2: I kind of said this thing that you didn't want
Speaker 2: to have kids, or did you find out for the
Speaker 2: first time when it was on air.
Speaker 4: I found out for the first time on air, So
Speaker 4: I had absolutely no idea that she did that about me.
Speaker 4: At first, Steph and I wasn't really friends with Steph.
Speaker 4: I didn't really know her that well, and like she
Speaker 4: said a couple of things that I didn't quite agree with,
Speaker 4: but as time went on and I got to know her,
Speaker 4: we actually became really good friend. So when I saw
Speaker 4: that on the episode, I was like, what the hell
Speaker 4: shesed me.
Speaker 3: She's like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. She was
Speaker 3: like I said that when I didn't really.
Speaker 4: Know you, and I was like, oh my god, You're
Speaker 4: like you.
Speaker 1: Fucking started the power, you started all this. But also,
Speaker 1: I guess you also had quite a strenuous relationship with
Speaker 1: Tani after the bush doorf date where everyone went camping,
Speaker 1: and that's where things really unfolded, with the whole conversation
Speaker 1: around whether or not you wanted to come second and
Speaker 1: whether or not that conversation even took place. Have you
Speaker 1: spoken to Tanni since? Have you guys been able to
Speaker 1: reconcile anything, or did it really just end kind of
Speaker 1: the way that we saw it on TV.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just ended that way, And I just the
Speaker 4: way she handled it. I just didn't think that she
Speaker 4: was someone that I would want to continue a friendship.
Speaker 4: Whether I don't have any hard feelings towards her, just
Speaker 4: probably not my type of person to be friends.
Speaker 3: But really, she.
Speaker 2: Did cost you a boyfriend, yuess.
Speaker 4: She did what she felt like she had to do
Speaker 4: to stay in I think, so, I mean, it is
Speaker 4: what it is.
Speaker 3: I'm not like I don't have any hard feelings to it.
Speaker 1: At all, Jay, what do you think was the most
Speaker 1: challenging part of the whole experience.
Speaker 4: I think the hardest thing was when you'd gone a
Speaker 4: date and you can probably relate you go on a date, Well,
Speaker 4: when I went on a date with Jimmy and you
Speaker 4: just have such an amazing day, and then the next
Speaker 4: day you're on a group date and you see him
Speaker 4: with other girls and you're like oh, and then he
Speaker 4: kind of doesn't treat you the same as he treated
Speaker 4: you when you went on that single day, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is weird.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I found that the hardest.
Speaker 1: There was this one, I mean for anyone who doesn't remember,
Speaker 1: it was a group date where it was like an
Speaker 1: obstacle course challenge group date, and Jay, you had an advantage.
Speaker 1: You were like winning, you were slaying the obstacle course.
Speaker 1: And part of this advantage was that you got a
Speaker 1: five second head start because you'd gotten the red flag. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we're all attracted to red flags, So you got the
Speaker 1: red flag, you got the five second head start, and
Speaker 1: then you gave it to Ash, which then is what
Speaker 1: saw Ash ending up when that whole challenge and winning
Speaker 1: the extra time with Jimmy now, I have a couple
Speaker 1: of questions around this. Firstly, in that moment and on
Speaker 1: that day, did you realize kind of like what sacrifice
Speaker 1: you had made, like did you regret that decision? And
Speaker 1: also what was like the vibe like in the house afterwards.
Speaker 1: Was Jimmy really as frustrated as he seemed on TV?
Speaker 4: I didn't think that Jimmy was as frustrated as he
Speaker 4: seemed on TV. I still don't know because what I saw,
Speaker 4: what happened in real life was so different to what
Speaker 4: I'm seeing on TV. So I actually don't know how
Speaker 4: he was genuinely feeling. We'll start back with the advantage.
Speaker 4: Ash and I had a pet, so we were going to
Speaker 4: make sure we were top two right up until the
Speaker 4: last flag and.
Speaker 3: Then it was free for all.
Speaker 4: Also, I'm being cocky here, but I still thought I
Speaker 4: was gonna win, even though I gave it the.
Speaker 3: Five second advice, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4: I thought, even if she did win over me, I
Speaker 4: was okay with that because I shared a room with
Speaker 4: Ash and she was my best friend in the house,
Speaker 4: and she'd duck up for me a lot of the times.
Speaker 3: To Jimmy, with the rumors as well, so I felt like.
Speaker 4: I owed her, but not only that, like every morning
Speaker 4: she hadn't seen Jimmy f I think it was about
Speaker 4: eight weeks, and she'd be so sad every morning, just
Speaker 4: I don't know what my connection is?
Speaker 3: What am I even doing here? Jay?
Speaker 4: And like that breaks my heart. So I was thinking, look,
Speaker 4: I'm happy to give up an hour so she can
Speaker 4: figure out whether she should be here or not, because
Speaker 4: for me, it was about quality, not quantity. And I
Speaker 4: think I was I was okay for her to have
Speaker 4: that time.
Speaker 2: Why didn't you just fake an injury, just like pretend
Speaker 2: your knees gone and then you could fall into the water.
Speaker 4: But I'm quite competitive, so I still wanted to win anyway.
Speaker 4: She won an the inn and I actually don't regret that,
Speaker 4: and I wouldn't I wouldn't change that.
Speaker 1: Jay, What is next for you? Have you started dating again?
Speaker 1: Are you back at work or what has life been
Speaker 1: like since The Bachelor's stopped filming? And now that you're
Speaker 1: able to get a little taste of freedom again.
Speaker 4: I know I feel so free now, Like since that
Speaker 4: last episode when I left, I just out such.
Speaker 3: A weight left off my shoulders. So I work in insurance.
Speaker 4: But I've also been building my nutrition business, so I'm
Speaker 4: focusing on that and I'm still single.
Speaker 3: We've been in lockdown, so it's really hard to meet anyone,
Speaker 3: to be honest.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've been really cramping the dating style.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys don't have to worry about that though.
Speaker 2: We're pretty lucky. But at the same time, we're like
Speaker 2: on the other end of the spectrum where we would
Speaker 2: like some time apart sometimes.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we like it that totally. We're like,
Speaker 1: when can lockdown live so that we can spend a
Speaker 1: day away from each other?
Speaker 3: I love do you know what?
Speaker 4: I still because I didn't watch your season on the Batchelor,
Speaker 4: but I stalked.
Speaker 3: You guys, and I love you guys so much like
Speaker 3: I want to partner.
Speaker 1: Oh, jastop, Matt, we love you too. Don't worry.
Speaker 2: Who's your favorite?
Speaker 3: Both of them together?
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, we all know who your favorite is. Stop?
Speaker 3: Actually, no, Manny Jay, because you picked me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go. Well this is awkward, isn't it?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 1: Jay?
Speaker 2: Before we go, I am keen to know have you
Speaker 2: spoken to Jimmy.
Speaker 3: Since no, we're not allowed to.
Speaker 2: But the good thing is Jimmy does listen to the podcast,
Speaker 2: So if there's anything you would like to say to Jimmy,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's going to be listening. The floor is yours.
Speaker 4: No, I just wish him all the best and good
Speaker 4: luck with whoever he chooses.
Speaker 1: My very last question is when you left the house.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like things can change after you've
Speaker 1: watched the show back, But when you left on that night,
Speaker 1: who did you think it was going to be between
Speaker 1: Brook and Holly?
Speaker 3: When I left that night, I one hundred percent thought
Speaker 3: it was going to be Brooke.
Speaker 1: What made you think that?
Speaker 4: I just think he wouldn't bring her back from a
Speaker 4: situation like that if he wasn't going to pick her,
Speaker 4: and even watching the show, because I don't know what
Speaker 4: their connection, I don't really know what their connection is
Speaker 4: when I'm in the experience because I don't see it.
Speaker 4: But watching the show, it just looks like he loves
Speaker 4: her so much, and even though she's telling him things
Speaker 4: that he probably doesn't want to hear, he just keeps it.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just feel like he really really likes her, So
Speaker 4: I'm thinking it's going to be her, But I have
Speaker 4: not I don't even know who wins.
Speaker 1: This is exactly like us every episode We're like, guys,
Speaker 1: we have no idea, We're just here to speculate. And honestly,
Speaker 1: j thank you so much for coming and being a
Speaker 1: part of the podcast. We have loved, We've really really
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching this season. We've loved watching you. Matt's still
Speaker 1: devastated and he owes me fifty dollars, So I want
Speaker 1: to thank you even more for theme of my heart.
Speaker 1: But also we're just so glad you can get out
Speaker 1: and live your best life. Now get back to dating.
Speaker 3: I know. Oh my god, I'm so happy. Thank you
Speaker 3: for having me.
Speaker 2: It's been a pleasure. Thank you, Jay, even though I'm
Speaker 2: trying to not be disappointed, but I'm glad that you're
Speaker 2: you seem really happy.
Speaker 3: Yeah I am.
Speaker 4: You're actually making me feel really bad now, why.
Speaker 2: Not at all? No hard feelings.
Speaker 4: You know what, Maybe I'll go on to the Americans.
Speaker 1: We'll be there, we'll be recapping, don't you worry. Take care, Jay,
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, legendre bye.
Speaker 2: Well the you have it. Jay has departed the building
Speaker 2: and now I'm trying to figure out who will win.
Speaker 1: She says, Brook i'd say Holly.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's still time to change your mind. Law,
Speaker 2: you don't have to go with Holly the whole way through.
Speaker 2: Now is better time than ever to change your mind.
Speaker 2: Right before the finish line. Do you think it's going
Speaker 2: to be Holly still?
Speaker 1: It's the hold dog, That's who it is. I'm ready.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it all the way down to Hoytown just.
Speaker 2: Because, just because I like to disagree with you, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with Brook.
Speaker 1: Mate. Your team is out of the match. You don't
Speaker 1: get to just jump on for the finals and pick
Speaker 1: another team. Now.
Speaker 2: Now I get to change my mind, and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: lock in Brook if I may perfect.
Speaker 1: I can't wait for you to lose twice anyway, guys,
Speaker 1: that is it from us. We have our bat Chunk
Speaker 1: cut coming out tomorrow morning, six am, fresh and early.
