Speaker 1: It's in the news today, but it was actually on
Speaker 1: TV Reload the podcast last week. There right, Hey guys,
Speaker 1: welcome back to TV Reload. I want to thank you
Speaker 1: for clicking and downloading on today's episode with Farmer Todd
Speaker 1: from Farmer Wants a Wife, which I believe is the
Speaker 1: highest rating show across the networks at the moment. So
Speaker 1: well done to Channel seven and to the fans for
Speaker 1: making this series a smash in twenty twenty four. Farmer
Speaker 1: Todd is a charming thirty three year old cattle farmer
Speaker 1: hailing from the quaint town of Banbar in New South Wales.
Speaker 1: He is the proud third generation farmer, living and breathing
Speaker 1: the values of family, hard yaker and the simple pleasures
Speaker 1: of country life. Despite being surrounded by the charm of
Speaker 1: his family farm, Todd's on the hunt for a love
Speaker 1: that is as solid as the bonds that he sees
Speaker 1: in his folks and his sister's relationships. As we know,
Speaker 1: Farmer Todd came to the show late, and I don't
Speaker 1: think that's a bad thing because we've been able to
Speaker 1: get to know him quite well and I'm delighted to
Speaker 1: be chatting to him today. We will talk about that
Speaker 1: full on family and friends date and what he thinks
Speaker 1: of some of the comments that were made regarding Daisy,
Speaker 1: comparing her to his ex girlfriend's red flagging that she'd
Speaker 1: been married and that she may be too confident. We
Speaker 1: will unpack Farmer Bert's exit and find out why Farmer
Speaker 1: Todd thinks Farmer Burt left. Was it the girls, or
Speaker 1: maybe was it the show was too much for him?
Speaker 1: You will get some interesting insights into how he came
Speaker 1: onto the show late. Was he a last minute replacement
Speaker 1: for Farmer Dean or was his time on the show
Speaker 1: planned all along. I'm also going to ask about his
Speaker 1: thoughts on the choices of women that are picked for
Speaker 1: the farmers and if the producers do a good job
Speaker 1: picking the ladies for this show. There's actually so much
Speaker 1: to unpack with Farmer Todd, So sit back and relax
Speaker 1: as we unpack the wonderful world of Farmer Wants a Wife.
Speaker 1: Hey Todd, how are you? Oh?
Speaker 2: Well, thank you? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing well? Do you know what's really strange is
Speaker 1: like when I start doing these podcasts? Well, actually, when
Speaker 1: I'm about to have a guest on, I'd not only
Speaker 1: been watching this show, but I go back and rewatch
Speaker 1: episodes over and over again, So admittedly I become a
Speaker 1: little bit like obsessed with the guests that come on
Speaker 1: the podcast. Just kind of an embarrassing way to start
Speaker 1: a podcast, Ryan, that's all right, how are you going anyway?
Speaker 1: What a whirl win season this must have been for you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty for long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, the whole thing even Yeah, without
Speaker 3: coming in.
Speaker 2: Later, it would still be a bit of a well
Speaker 2: wind full on sort of a gig.
Speaker 1: You arrived late, But at this point I think we
Speaker 1: are seeing more of you than any of the others
Speaker 1: you've You've come in later, and then you're taking up
Speaker 1: the lion's share of the screen time. It feels to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I noticed that sort of Yeah, last night was there.
Speaker 4: The Todd Show, A big fortunately of the time was
Speaker 4: donated to a little well, we.
Speaker 1: Want to get into the aftermath of some of that.
Speaker 1: But look, I wanted to ask you, are you getting
Speaker 1: quite a bit of attention at the moment. What is
Speaker 1: the talk of the town from where you're from.
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I don't sort of go into town too much when
Speaker 4: I mate the day through this morning, and it there's
Speaker 4: five six people in there, and it was more fun,
Speaker 4: more into life talk.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll never go down to get a sausage roll
Speaker 1: ever again in the same way people talk. Because this
Speaker 1: is the weird thing. When you're on reality show like this,
Speaker 1: people want to talk to you like they know you,
Speaker 1: which is odd. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well luckily I haven't you know, people been trying
Speaker 3: to talk me on Facebook and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: But I just, you know, like all that stuff and
Speaker 2: I don't even know. I'm not so many of it. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 2: there's been a few people out on the streets they're
Speaker 2: just sort of being.
Speaker 3: Oh, and I was like, yeah, so I've got to
Speaker 3: keep going.
Speaker 2: I'm busy. I know.
Speaker 4: I was saying on the internet that sort of thing
Speaker 4: before it was actually before I was.
Speaker 2: Actually on the TV. People had just seen the you.
Speaker 1: Know, were all profile came up there. You came into
Speaker 1: the show as Farmer Dean decided to leave. How much
Speaker 1: time did you have.
Speaker 2: To prepare a little bit of time prepared. It wasn't
Speaker 2: sort of a drop of a hat like. It wasn't
Speaker 2: like one day I.
Speaker 3: Was on the Farmer, next I was down in eight ladies,
Speaker 3: had a bit.
Speaker 4: Of a time to work out a few things, make
Speaker 4: sure I could get people to look after the basel
Speaker 4: away and.
Speaker 2: That sort of thing.
Speaker 1: They must have had some idea that he was going
Speaker 1: to go, because I'm trying to look at that turnaround
Speaker 1: with a farmer leaving and they need another one in there.
Speaker 1: Was it like a week? What was the the turnaround?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: I think they might have already had a bit of
Speaker 4: an idea to bring someone in later as a bit.
Speaker 2: Of a surprise.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I don't I don't think it was just
Speaker 3: because being left and I was sort of made it
Speaker 3: pretty convenient.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm kind of getting at this. I mean,
Speaker 1: you'd been announced last year for women to apply, so
Speaker 1: your profile turned up and we got to see you know,
Speaker 1: six or seven farmers. You know, there was a few
Speaker 1: farmers that you know, the ladies could choose if they
Speaker 1: wanted to, and your profile had been up for a
Speaker 1: little bit. What happened after your profile had been up?
Speaker 1: Did you get a call from the producers and say
Speaker 1: there wasn't enough shelers after you when we picked some others.
Speaker 1: What kind of conversation happened at that point? No?
Speaker 3: No, so they was sort of just silence there for
Speaker 3: a while after I actually got the phone call to
Speaker 3: day I was on, and they said, look, photos.
Speaker 2: Are going to go up, and we'll let you know
Speaker 2: when they go up, and then the.
Speaker 3: Ladies will reply and then we'll stuck it out and yeah,
Speaker 3: talk to you again. I was a little bit of
Speaker 3: radio silence there for a minute while that was gone on, and.
Speaker 2: Then they called me up and we're like, radio, we
Speaker 2: want you on the show, like you're in sort of thing.
Speaker 1: Had you worked out that they'd picked other farmers and
Speaker 1: they were going ahead with them before circling back with you,
Speaker 1: What did you know about the other farmers, you know,
Speaker 1: getting onto the show before you.
Speaker 2: I didn't really know much about the other farmers getting
Speaker 2: onto the show.
Speaker 3: They just said I'll be starting at this time, which
Speaker 3: will be later.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's starting to make sense. Okay, this is what
Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, And I'm sure while I'm
Speaker 1: asking you this stuff, this is what the people at
Speaker 1: home watching the show wanted to know as well, because
Speaker 1: what happens to these farmers that have their profiles up
Speaker 1: for a while that don't get picked to be on
Speaker 1: this show? Are they just are they sitting at home
Speaker 1: crying into the wools off the sheep, how think to them?
Speaker 1: Are they okay?
Speaker 3: I don't know what the other other bloke draps sort
Speaker 3: of what happens with them?
Speaker 2: They're fighting it. I'd have been fired. I'd have been like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: I'm sort of imming an errand to be on it anyway.
Speaker 2: It was sort of a bit of a thing, but.
Speaker 4: I'm yea happy I made the choice now attacks to
Speaker 4: go on and like a once in last time think right.
Speaker 3: At the start, I was going to do I want
Speaker 3: to go, I want to and I was like, well,
Speaker 3: a lot of good.
Speaker 2: Stuff has come out of farm want to wife.
Speaker 4: I knew one of the girls on it from last
Speaker 4: year who ended up with from Rats Are Clear and Brad.
Speaker 1: This is interesting, though, is that once somebody gets on
Speaker 1: this show, the word gets around and other people might
Speaker 1: feel more comfortable to apply. Is it because you knew
Speaker 1: people that have done it before? Is why you applied?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Actually my mom applied for me, but it was yeah,
Speaker 2: because I knew someone that.
Speaker 3: Was on it and she ended up with a partner
Speaker 3: out of it, and now they've got a kid in that.
Speaker 2: It was like, well, I guess it does work, so yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Might as well give it a crack and see what happens,
Speaker 4: which I'm yeah, I'm glad I did well.
Speaker 1: I'm loving this for your mom because your mum's at
Speaker 1: home going. I want grandchildren, and you know, Todd's being
Speaker 1: really slacked with this. We're going to get a move.
Speaker 2: On, so you're not far off it. Really.
Speaker 1: I love the guts that it takes for her to
Speaker 1: be like, she's got the faith in you. She wants
Speaker 1: to put you on national television, find a woman and
Speaker 1: get the grandchildren.
Speaker 2: Yeah. She was a big part of going on there,
Speaker 2: that's for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's harder to try and compact your
Speaker 1: experience into a smaller time frame because you are on
Speaker 1: the show a few weeks later, but you're still meeting
Speaker 1: the same amount of women, so it's obviously a much
Speaker 1: faster process, you know. Is that harder or do you
Speaker 1: think that was easier?
Speaker 2: In a way, it shall be harder.
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously not getting to know or the ladies as much,
Speaker 3: have as much time with them.
Speaker 4: But I still feel that I enough time to I
Speaker 4: guess get to know the lady a fair bit to
Speaker 4: make a decision.
Speaker 1: Were your first impressions of the ladies good, were You're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: the people casting this show do a good job of
Speaker 1: finding suitable matches, or well, that's what I would think.
Speaker 1: I'd be worried because I'd assume, you know, you sit
Speaker 1: down with the producers, you tell them the sort of
Speaker 1: women that you're interested in, and then they go and
Speaker 1: find them. But you know, I'd be sitting at home
Speaker 1: worrying about turning up on that first day of set
Speaker 1: because like what happens if they've found the Witches of
Speaker 1: Eastwick or something, or they've got they've muddled it up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a bit their wrapping.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm very happy with the choices that they
Speaker 3: they said.
Speaker 2: I came back, but I was.
Speaker 3: I was surprised that, yeah, such lovely ladies actually wanted
Speaker 3: to become and meet may I never thought i'd be
Speaker 3: on the show and then.
Speaker 2: No one on a block me anyway. I had just
Speaker 2: a little cattle farmer from out in the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 3: No one.
Speaker 2: It's not really a feeling to people.
Speaker 1: That's not how I say. I think this is going
Speaker 1: to sound like it lands really badly, but I think
Speaker 1: you're a grower, not a shower. Where when I first
Speaker 1: saw your promo. I was like, oh, yeah, he's all right,
Speaker 1: And then like the more we've gotten to get to
Speaker 1: know you as this show has gone on, people are
Speaker 1: connecting to you more. This is definitely the wrong analogy.
Speaker 1: I can already can feel people writing to me and complaining.
Speaker 2: It's I get up stand where what you're saying? Okay,
Speaker 2: and at the start.
Speaker 3: Properly completely nervous, like meeting eight ladies and then getting
Speaker 3: thrown into this like cameras and that everywhere. People everywhere,
Speaker 3: even my friends that have seen it ore like, you
Speaker 3: were so nervous.
Speaker 2: That's not you. You're a lot more relaxed at more.
Speaker 2: And then even the ladies said it. And then when
Speaker 2: we got back to home, they're like, wow, this is
Speaker 2: actually todd. This comfort level was up when I was
Speaker 2: home on the farm in my element.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been able to show that fart being on
Speaker 3: the farm, on the horse riding.
Speaker 1: Around, Well, that's the real you, that's who you are.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I mean the magic of this show in
Speaker 1: a way is that we want these farmers to be
Speaker 1: it sounds ridiculous, but real. And then to try and
Speaker 1: get you guys who haven't found a partner in your
Speaker 1: own means to be in front of the cameras.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely a foreign situation, like it's yeah, you're
Speaker 2: you're definitely made throwing into the deep end sort of thing,
Speaker 2: and you just go, yeah, well.
Speaker 1: Tod the things that can happen, you know, having too
Speaker 1: many women, Yeah, there's worse the shows if you go on,
Speaker 1: at least you don't have to sing or dance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely true.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have four ladies left this week, and
Speaker 1: we saw your friends and family help you with this
Speaker 1: next step, which caused a bit of drama. How did
Speaker 1: you how did you go about picking which friends and
Speaker 1: family would come along to meet these four ladies that
Speaker 1: you've got left.
Speaker 3: It was hard because I actually originally had probably five
Speaker 3: other friends that I sort of wanted to.
Speaker 1: Come along as well, but what happened to them.
Speaker 2: Well, we were supposed to go do a little.
Speaker 3: Event before we went and just sort of sat down
Speaker 3: and met everyone, but it's sort of.
Speaker 2: The weather didn't agree with it.
Speaker 3: So it's like those other friends that were going to
Speaker 3: help me out, they just sort of, yeah, just too
Speaker 3: much for the one for the little area we sort
Speaker 3: of had.
Speaker 1: Okay, so then they go and producers go and interview
Speaker 1: the people that you can put forward, because this is
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking, Like if you asked me, but you
Speaker 1: know who I wanted? And I said, well, look here
Speaker 1: are my five friends. You know you should go and
Speaker 1: talk to them. And then the producers speak to those
Speaker 1: five and they realized that, you know, maybe two of
Speaker 1: them are a bit more savage and you're going to
Speaker 1: ask a little bit more outrageous questions. Then the producers go, well,
Speaker 1: let's go with those cousins because we know those cousins
Speaker 1: are going to ask harder questions. Or do you reckon
Speaker 1: that there's is there an audition process for who gets
Speaker 1: to come along?
Speaker 2: Not really.
Speaker 3: They asked who I wanted and I was like, well,
Speaker 3: these are the people who are really wanted to be there,
Speaker 3: the five and then.
Speaker 2: Have a bit of a chat film and they asked me.
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, who do you think because they've obviously, yeah,
Speaker 3: I've got to ask questions, and who do you think
Speaker 3: will be out spoken?
Speaker 2: And I'm a bit more forward?
Speaker 1: They did want that that's what you're trying to tell me, okay?
Speaker 2: And I told my friends, I was like, you got
Speaker 2: to ask these.
Speaker 3: Girls the questions that you want to ask it's going
Speaker 3: to be a bit forward with which they were fine
Speaker 3: with it because it wasn't a short time frame here
Speaker 3: to try and fine. Yeah, it's a bit of very
Speaker 3: much a pressure cooker situation and that we've all been
Speaker 3: traying into andy like the Yeah, I asked my friends
Speaker 3: to sort of put a bit of crash from the
Speaker 3: ladies just to what happened.
Speaker 1: I mean, there were some savage comments about your ex partners,
Speaker 1: you know that they were comparing Daisy to your previous relationships.
Speaker 1: Did you find that uncomfortable to watch back?
Speaker 2: So what sort of didn't show in there? Like obviously
Speaker 2: there's time frame to the shew and whatnot, But I
Speaker 2: sort of also, I've.
Speaker 3: Already noticed some similarities that it's not necessarily the overly
Speaker 3: bad similarities. Daisy is just more confidence about going forward
Speaker 3: sort of a person.
Speaker 1: It seemed to me like they were trying to be like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: these confident women aren't the right people for you, which
Speaker 1: I don't understand because, like to me, if you yourself
Speaker 1: have been going out and looking for ladies and finding
Speaker 1: confident women that haven't worked out for whatever reason, that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that all confident women are shit. Maybe you're
Speaker 1: the type of bloke who wants a chick that's a
Speaker 1: little bit more confident, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the way it came across wasn't sort of
Speaker 2: the way it was meant.
Speaker 1: Okay, it was hard.
Speaker 2: It was like a pretty full on day, but.
Speaker 3: I won't say that sort a confidence and that was bad.
Speaker 3: They were more worried, you know that I have gone
Speaker 3: down that path.
Speaker 2: Is that the right.
Speaker 3: One of the right way to go again? If I
Speaker 3: was looking at that sort of thing because it didn't
Speaker 3: work the last time, and my friends are sort of
Speaker 3: more trying to look after me, didn't want to see.
Speaker 2: Me hurts again.
Speaker 1: Well, I've got a couple of questions on this one
Speaker 1: because I wonder, you know your ex girlfriend that they're
Speaker 1: comparing it to, you know, comparing Daisy too. She watching
Speaker 1: the show? Do we know if she's watching the show
Speaker 1: and did is she upset?
Speaker 3: I'm unsure whether if she's watching the show or not.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get her on the podcast. I'm on the kidding,
Speaker 1: I'm joking. It's not Sally Jesse, Raphael Oprah Winfrey specials
Speaker 1: or No. I was curious. I mean, she's got to
Speaker 1: be watching the show, and she would be pretty upset.
Speaker 1: I think that your friends and family are trying to
Speaker 1: do whatever they cannot to find anyone like her again.
Speaker 3: Like it's coming across that way. But that's not exactly
Speaker 3: the way I guess I saw it. I'm all of
Speaker 3: it from previous time that hasn't worked and then not
Speaker 3: wanting maybe it hurt again.
Speaker 1: Look, I can see that I'm leading to the point
Speaker 1: that there was a comment about Daisy being masculine. What
Speaker 1: was the aftermath of that comment? I mean, did you
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable when they were saying that, I.
Speaker 3: Mean the whole day, Yeah, it was pretty hard to
Speaker 3: sort of hear.
Speaker 2: And that I was fit for us.
Speaker 1: And then they went on to say, you know, their
Speaker 1: impression was that Daisy was there for social media. We're
Speaker 1: only seeing snippets of this stuff. But to me, it
Speaker 1: didn't look like Daisy was there for likes and follows.
Speaker 1: She looked she looked genuinely like she was into you,
Speaker 1: you know, and I think that's a good thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think any of the ladies there for
Speaker 3: social media followers and that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: When they were pushing the quieter girls onto you, and saying, oh,
Speaker 1: maybe you should be with them, Like there's a good
Speaker 1: chance that they might be saying you quite go a
Speaker 1: bit good for you, and she'll be back on the
Speaker 1: farm and she'll iron your underpants and do all the
Speaker 1: rest of the stuff did you want to to do?
Speaker 1: But then that might not be the type of girl
Speaker 1: that you're interested in.
Speaker 3: I've never really realized I had a type until yeah,
Speaker 3: my friends that sort of yeah, and then I look
Speaker 3: back and I'll go, oh, well, yeah, I guess I
Speaker 3: do have a bit of a type.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, they never said it was a bad thing.
Speaker 2: I mean it was necessarily sort of. I think they're
Speaker 2: more sable. You know, I've had work. Why not try
Speaker 2: something different.
Speaker 1: When you're editing a show like this together, you're going
Speaker 1: to pick up on the small points and if you're
Speaker 1: producing it, yeah listen looking for a bit of drama.
Speaker 1: Then you're going to leave your friends talking about Daisy
Speaker 1: being a divorced person and you know, do you think
Speaker 1: that woman is the right person for you? She's previously
Speaker 1: been married, like she's been tainted, and that's a polarizing
Speaker 1: thing to say to the Australian audience. It makes great television,
Speaker 1: but it becomes a little bit uncomfortable for everybody, you know, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, and I hadn't had a chat about that on
Speaker 3: our one on one time together, Like we sort of
Speaker 3: dove into it pretty deep, and then it sort of
Speaker 3: shows me.
Speaker 2: Much of it there. I asked a fair bit about
Speaker 2: about it all.
Speaker 1: What do you think about farmer Bert leaving the show?
Speaker 1: Do you think that he was overwhelmed by the ladies
Speaker 1: or do you think that he was a bit overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by how hard it is and the pressure that comes
Speaker 1: about by taking part in a TV show.
Speaker 2: I think it might have been.
Speaker 3: I guess the whole I don't really have yet, sort
Speaker 3: of too much to do with, never really talk too
Speaker 3: much to the ladies and that, so I can't really
Speaker 3: comment too much about what they are like they that
Speaker 3: they seem nice, and I talked to him and that,
Speaker 3: So the whole thing is like pretty full on, pressure wise.
Speaker 3: And I think Bert had a big going on on
Speaker 3: his farm too at the time.
Speaker 2: Like he was busy.
Speaker 3: He has busy periods where he's like, yeah, flat out.
Speaker 3: I think during filming was one of those times. It
Speaker 3: ld just got a bit much and yeah, sort of
Speaker 3: probably with the farm, and that it probably wasn't giving
Speaker 3: himself all to the experience as much, and probably wasn't
Speaker 3: fair on the ladies and on him and on everyone
Speaker 3: if he wasn't sort of one hundred cent in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, true. I mean, do you think I reckon your girls?
Speaker 1: Your batch of girls were picked really well. I could
Speaker 1: see you with any of them, and I think the
Speaker 1: way in which I've watched it with farmer Bird a
Speaker 1: little bit, I'm just wondering whether or not he's been
Speaker 1: matched with those women correctly, like they might. I don't know,
Speaker 1: kind of rude of me to say that, but I
Speaker 1: just feel like maybe the matches on that farm weren't
Speaker 1: as good as the matches on the other farm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe that is the case, but it's probably a bit
Speaker 4: more difficult.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it is more difficult trying to come
Speaker 3: on to each other and trying to be naturally yourself
Speaker 3: and everything like that, Like, yeah, I haven't found with
Speaker 3: some stuff with me, like not everything you're doing just
Speaker 3: naturally and flowing with it all that just makes that
Speaker 3: bit harder.
Speaker 1: I as I said at the start, like you know,
Speaker 1: it's an unnatural experience. I think too. I mean, dating
Speaker 1: in general is without the cameras. Let's be honest, Like,
Speaker 1: it's tough. You know, when you're first meeting people, it's awkward.
Speaker 1: You know you want it to work here, you don't
Speaker 1: know how you feel about people. The whole thing in
Speaker 1: general of dating is an awkward part of our lives.
Speaker 1: And then to put it on television add that level
Speaker 1: on top of it, I think is difficult, especially if
Speaker 1: you're a shy person, a shy farmer, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is this and then yeah, the added
Speaker 3: pressure of being in front of people and you're having
Speaker 3: a timeframe moment and you've got to do certain things
Speaker 3: at certain times.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all a big, big deal. Really.
Speaker 1: I guess the best thing to ask you at this
Speaker 1: point is do you think Farmer Joe could go on
Speaker 1: to be a TV star after being on this? You know,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Farmer Joe? Is he Is
Speaker 1: he coming across the way that you saw him as
Speaker 1: you were filming?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean any of the boys could could go
Speaker 3: on to do commercials, TV movies that there can be
Speaker 3: the stars or something like that.
Speaker 2: This would be pretty funny.
Speaker 3: Definitely, Yeah, A bit more of a confidence sort of
Speaker 3: color there in front of.
Speaker 2: The within the whole experience.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, got that bit more of an out
Speaker 3: there sort of personality, And I.
Speaker 1: Think that's one of the reasons why the season has
Speaker 1: been so enjoyable to Why is that? Yeah, it's very
Speaker 1: engaging people, very genuine people, which is good television. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think all the all the boys coming across, yeah,
Speaker 3: pretty genuine pre there for the reasons like when I
Speaker 3: talk to them sort of behind the.
Speaker 2: Scenes and that and then watching them on on camera
Speaker 2: the same exactly the same sort of deal.
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to also ask you about your
Speaker 1: friendships with the farmers because I was talking to Farmer Burton.
Speaker 1: He was saying that he and Farmer Tom have become
Speaker 1: really close. Have you been able to make a strong
Speaker 1: connection with some of these other farmers. Do you think
Speaker 1: you've made a lifelong friendship out of some of them?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, it was sort of a little
Speaker 3: group chat and chat, and so I think you.
Speaker 2: Haven't had a chance to sort of catch up with
Speaker 2: any of them. Yeah, so yeah, I mean I thought
Speaker 2: it didn't have as much I yes, as much time
Speaker 2: to get to know the other boys.
Speaker 3: But I think, yeah, we're all I guess we're all
Speaker 3: nte coming out of the experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bit of seeing that all. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: fond us together a bit.
Speaker 1: Would you say what's your favorite This is the last
Speaker 1: one I'm going to ask you about. Was before an episode,
Speaker 1: but what was the best thing about doing this show? Like,
Speaker 1: was there a moment where You're like, Wow, this is
Speaker 1: so fun, I'm so glad I've signed up and done this.
Speaker 2: The best thing about it?
Speaker 3: I mean, I yes, the whole experience is pretty pretty surreal,
Speaker 3: pretty full on, and yeah, it's nothing that I would
Speaker 3: have ever thought I would would have ever done before.
Speaker 3: I think I'm just getting out of my bubble and
Speaker 3: getting out there and doing something. Probably the best thing
Speaker 3: about it meeting now the boys and all the ladies
Speaker 3: and yeah, actually actually doing something instead of just my
Speaker 3: regular go to work, come home.
Speaker 1: Well. Also, good to your mum. It's good for your
Speaker 1: mum to get you involved with this in the first place.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, the last thing I ask everyone who joins the
Speaker 1: podcast is what is something from behind the scenes, you know,
Speaker 1: something that maybe the viewers won't understand about what it's
Speaker 1: like to be a farmer on this show. Did anything
Speaker 1: fun happen behind the scenes that we won't get a
Speaker 1: chance to see that you thought you can share.
Speaker 3: Actually just hanging out with the ladies on the farm,
Speaker 3: and then actually getting to just hang out and kick
Speaker 3: about with the other farmer when we get to go somewhere,
Speaker 3: we get a bit of a chance to sort of.
Speaker 1: Just do that. And now we've allowed to talk amongst
Speaker 1: each other. You know, when the cameras are not rolling.
Speaker 1: I know that I remember interviewing someone on The Bachelor
Speaker 1: and they were saying, on the Bachelor, you know that
Speaker 1: the bachelors weren't even allowed to talk to the girls
Speaker 1: when the cameras weren't rolling. Are you allowed to have
Speaker 1: a lot of conversation that's not on camera?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when the camera is so lady today
Speaker 3: on the farm of a night climb and that, So
Speaker 3: when the cameras.
Speaker 5: Aren't there, you've got a bit of time they get
Speaker 5: they not have too many big conversations that, like, you know,
Speaker 5: would be good camera off camera, So you get to
Speaker 5: sort of smart of just hanging out, like you get
Speaker 5: to actually know someone a bit more, and you just
Speaker 5: sort of, you know, cook a dinner.
Speaker 2: And you just have a chat like that's not so
Speaker 2: much here in your face.
Speaker 3: You don't feel so pressured to get ask questions, and
Speaker 3: I think it just becomes a lot more.
Speaker 1: Naturally well on that, which makes it a little bit easier.
Speaker 1: I just want to say I thoroughly enjoyed talking to
Speaker 1: you today. I'm so sorry if I hammered the point
Speaker 1: on some of those things, because I'm just a suit
Speaker 1: fan who obviously is just asking all the questions that
Speaker 1: you know, we all do at home. I think we
Speaker 1: all goggle box these shows and think I want to
Speaker 1: know this. What I would like to say is I
Speaker 1: think that you've been a fantastic addition to this series.
Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed watching you, and I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see what happens. I really can't wait to see who
Speaker 1: you pick. I'm unsure who it will be, and that's
Speaker 1: what makes good television.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for that. Thanks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, only you have to keep watching them
Speaker 3: and see how guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it is a big decision.
Speaker 1: It is a big decision. Well, good luck with that.
Speaker 1: I'll be watching. I'll be in your audience and enjoy
Speaker 1: the ride.
