Speaker 3 (00:30):

what I want.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
It don't matter where I'd gone.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
This is the pick up.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Happy Monday everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I hope you guys had a brilliant weekend. I know
one person here in the studio had a great weekend.
I add some add some awards and accolades to your trophy.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
What's it called?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Cabinet? Cabinet?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Help me out here? Help about here?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
You got that?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Hey, you can't wipe the smile off my face because
I'm excited to announce that I went to a Halloween party.
It was someone across the road on US Street, and
I won a costume award. There were four up for grabs.
There was scariest costume, there was the best family. Yeah,
there was the best individual, and the funniest costume.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
So let me pick what you were. What do you
think I got could be funny?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
You do like a bit of a Hong Kong I'll
go individual ooh, you're right.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
The first time we were at Spotlight actually on the weekend,
and I walked past the costume caught my eye and
it was of a disco purple.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Flare outfit looked velvety.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It was a lovely velvet, had a beautiful hat, and
I just I couldn't walk past it. It was like
thirty bucks, and I thought, you know what, I'm going
to treat myself.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And it was a prize.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I didn't even know there was a competition at the party.
And then all of a sudden they handed out leaflets
and you had to vide listened to Matt.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I didn't know this was a competition.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You're born. And then all of a sudden, I started
hearing people go, I think I'm going to vote for
that guy in the disco costume for the funniest outfit.
And I was going, oh my god, oh my god,
I've got a And when they're announcing it, I had
to play really cool like I wasn't really.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
When you said when they're announcing there, how many people
were there?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I want to say there was a twenty adults and
roughly fifteen children, big crowd. I had to say, speech,
what did you win? Just respecting one an inflatable trophy couch.
The kids then paid with them burst But if the
trophy wasn't important, it was just the prestige.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I am happy for you.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I cannot believe we're about to welcome someone into our
very tight knit group, Matty J. But we have Bachelor
bear in the Flesh sitting right opposite us about to
give us all the insider goths from the Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You are gorgeous, gorgeous, fire flame.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
If you're an emoji, absolutely sunny, and he's so humble.
Look at him. He won't even acknowledge. Haven't looking you?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
No, no, So Mattie J.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And I are both known the batch. Matty Jay's had
both experiences.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
He was a contestant that got dumped and then he
became the Bachelor, and I was the first person to
win the Bachelor in the world and not actually win anything.
So that's my flex. How have you found the entire
experience compared to now like the aftermath, because they're two
different experiences, like being rusting it, filming, meeting all these women,
macking on, like having some some kissy time, and now
(03:18):
to do in the publicity tour.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Our publicity is crazy. It's worse, absolutely, well, yeah, yeah,
it's much worse.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Why no, it's.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
It's okay, it's okay. I'm just taking it day by day.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You're saying that because it's your birthday and you hungover. Yes,
but I've got some rapid fire questions if I may,
I'll be honest. Before I was on the show, a
friend of mine who was in cosmetics, said to me,
I need some work done because I'm going on TV.
I got a bit of botox. It's the first time
I ever got botox, probably the last.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I didn't notice that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Be honest, Bear, have you had any work done?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Not a bit, nothing at all. This is all original natural.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So was there one woman in particular from the very start?
As soon as you walked in that sort of took
your breath away and you thought this could be this
could be something?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
All of them no rubbish, that rubbish.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Twenty beautiful, absolute, intelligent, fun, gorgeous women.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
So where do they get wrong on mine? We had thirty?
You couldn't big one.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
He's been trained well, you could waterboard bear and he
wouldn't give anything away, Which is coming up next y sas.
Is it true you got paid half a million dollars
to be on the show?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Half a million? Yeah, true, it's way too.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Low, more than half a million dollars. Okay. In the
American series we have overnight stays. Previously in Australia we
haven't had that element included. Are there any overnight stays
for your season of The Bachelor?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I just say, well, if you you don't buy a
new car without taking a test drive.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
First, oh, I think that that's an exclusive. Okay, do
you didn't test drive? Did you matter?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I didn't test drive anything. No, I paying for it.
Now turn the keys in the ignition and it started
and I was thrilled.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Okay, Roy ceremony, group date, single date? What was harder?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The same one? As we're brutal? Yeah, they were so hard.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But there is something beautiful about the Golden Bachelor, the
whole idea. As you're older, you've lived a little, you
have so many things that you've all been through that
a lot of the younger people might not have been through.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And I say that so I feel like you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Connect on a different level, and I imagine it makes
it so much harder to say goodbye.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
To these women that you know, have all been through.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
So much, We've all had love and loss, and they
were so courageous, those women, and to put themselves out
there to say goodbye to any of them was tough.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Should you feel the first time you get thrust into
filming and you're having this beautiful moment with this woman
and maybe you're in the pool. I remember my first
kiss on that. I was in the pool and we
were like trying to be really intimate and beautiful and romantic.
But then like you squint one eye open and you've
got boom mics in your face and cameramen and all.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
These people watching you. How did you deal with that?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Six cameras, thirty people stand around and they say, okay,
now be natural.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah and.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Kiss yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Early on I kind of just blocked everything out and
just concentrate on it's in front of me, true or false.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
The rumor mill has been rife, and we can put
this to bed finally, once and for all. Is there
any truth at all to the chemistry between yourself and
some almitage?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
If I had an extra her I was, I probably
would have.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I saw it. I saw at night one. There was
a there was chemistry.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
There, she's beautiful. She's absolutely beautiful there.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I imagine if that was the plot twist, It's happened before.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's happened before in the German Bachelor. Yeah, on the
finale he gave it to the director.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Shut up, Sorry, that was aggressive. I mean really, I'm like,
is that true?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
On brit season in the finale, the honey Badger picked
no one? Okay, he left empty handed? That was that
was Can you believe it? Can you believe that? Not
good enough for that?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I had that option as well.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Do you give someone a row? Can you confirm?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I think you'll have to watch and see.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Did you steal anything from the set?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I have so much clothes.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I was about to say the stylist it was my
best friend.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Oh really, I still so much clothes.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I'll just let her know.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Before we go. I'm just going to say a name.
I had been watching this with a keen eye, and
I think I've picked who is the winner. I'm going
to say her name. You can react in any way
you like, but I think the winner of the twenty
twenty five Golden Bachelor is jan Jan is beautiful.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I think, Sonny, I'm gonna throw her in the ring.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Sonny is beautiful. Sonny is absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Okay, well, Bet, thank you so much. Happy birthday, enjoy
the rest of the season.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I go home and have a wonderful night with Jan
and we will see you guys after the.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
The Golden Bachelor returns tonight at seven thirty pm on
Channel nine and nine. Now that's Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm
loving it.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Bear Farewell, thank you so much, my pleasure.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Hey, how great was that talking to Bear?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Does that taken back seven or eight years to when
you were in the Batch mansion.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Look, I'll be honest, I wanted more from Bear.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
It was horrible.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
It was nice to see him in the flesh, but
I just I wanted to rag Dolim and go tell
us everything.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Do you reckon? He picked somebody?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Like?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
After speaking to him, what do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I reckon? Okay, this is my hot take.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I think it's gonna get us into trouble produce to Grace.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I think he doesn't pick anyone, and I do think
that him and Sam, the host of the show, I
think they have a thing. Did you know what his
answer about sa that would be?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I know, but I just thought he was playing into it.
That would be more wild than the hunting bad jock.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I don't think when he was talking like that, I
could see the publicists. They were they were dying, they
were a little bit worried.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know what, I think.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I'm going to take a different angle. I think he
does pick somebody. I get what you mean about the
Sam vibe. He threw it in there. We can't argue
with it, right. He said he would have given her
a RaSE, I.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Wish I had an extra rows, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Which I mean there's a whole rose garden there.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, like they were there. I think he picked somebody.
I don't reckon it works out. That's what I'm calling.
And guys, we don't have any inside of Goss. We're
just speculating. But that's what I reckon.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, he didn't. He wasn't oozing love. I couldn't smell
the love on him today.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
All right, give us a bit of goss, Matt, because
you asked him a question that everyone always wants to know,
which is money. How much the bachelor's get paid? And
he gave us obviously for fake scenario. He said it
was more than half a meal.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Which was it? More than half a meal. I was like, God,
I've got to go back and speak to my lawyers.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, how much did you get paid as the Bachelor?
Because they love a speculation, but we know it's not real.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It wasn't a lot of money. I know what you
were and it was it was not a lot of
money because when they were negotiating, they made it seem
like there were two other guys who were going to
get the job, and they said, but here's the contract,
here's the offer. If you're try and negotiate, then you're
out of the mix.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
So you paid them.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So it was under thirty thousand dollars to be the Bachelor.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's insane to think that you could do it for
so and I say, so low, it's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
How did you do it? I didn't do it for
the money, Britt. I did it because I wanted to
fall in love.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But it's also it's when we were doing it, like
so Bear he just filmed his season is in like
six weeks. We did it for a quarter of a year.
It was like a bit over three months. We're in
that place.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
In a twelve year period, I did six months of
the Bachelor and The Bachelorette. It was a lot of TV.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, you had half a year of your life.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I know.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Okay, the actual rose ceremonies when you're giving out the roses.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
How much choice do you actually have?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And when I say that, obviously you choose who you
get to keep, But do you get to choose who
goes home? Because like when I say this, obviously you
put forward five people that you want to send home.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Do they ever say, no, you have to keep this person.
They're good for TV, or they're good for this storyline.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Or they always say like it's up to you to
make the final call. But they do say, you know, hey,
we are making a TV show here and it needs
to be interesting, and we think person A in person B,
they're giving us a lot of spice, and you know,
I would know that I'm not going to end up
with them, but we would give them a couple more
weeks because they were making things interesting. But they would
always say, like, if you are really really unhappy and
(11:16):
you do want to let them go, then you can.
It's up to you. But you know, we would like
you to walk down this path a little bit and
if you're happy to come with us, then.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Great, Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just sort of a memory.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Go on, what do you can't?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And I've never told anyone, so you guys might not know,
but you have minders. So the Bachelor or the bachelorette,
they have a minder. It's literally a person that stays
with you at all times to make sure you're not
doing anything wrong that you shouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Or they keep you in line. And the contestants have
minders as well. They stay in the house with you.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
They're always there if you need them, but they're keeping
an eye on you because when you go into the house,
no TVs, no phones, no I don't even think you're
allowed to take a book in from memory, no technology
like you were.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
It's like, what is that Stockholm syndrome you get put
into this house?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Anyway, I snuck in an iPod shuffle, so you were
allowed to take iPods in that didn't have a screen
or anything, and that just had music.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Anyway, I snuck one the end that had a secret camera.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
On it and they didn't know, and I was just
taking photos of the whole thing inside with my camera.
And then one day I was out in the yard
and no one was ever up early and I was
taking I was taking selfies with alarmists, me and the.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Lums, and then I got called in by the minder.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
You got sprung.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
She but she goes, what do you do you have
a camera here? Because it was still across a paddic
right so she could just see.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
The selfie arm and She's like a giveaway, right to giveaway.
I was like, what, how would I have a camera
in here? She's like, Brittany, just tell me the truth.
And I was like, absolutely no, I don't have a
camera like She's like, but I saw you across the
paddy taking selfie and I just said that. I was like, oh,
I was like, no, I'm just going so crazy in here.
I'm just acting and pretending anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I love that she believed.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And I think back to it and I'm like, she
must have just been like what I've got sor like a.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Huge ca.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Matt the Lily drama. Have you heard what is going down?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I love a bit of goss, britt Okay, I'll be honest.
I like hearing all the juicy secrets here and I
kind of like this is playing out the public eye.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Well, do you know who David Harbor is? Her husband
or ex husband.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, I'm a big Lily Allen fan myself.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
All right, Well, for those of you that don't, David
Harbor and Lily Allen were married.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
They actually only broke up at the start of the year,
but it.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Was it was very public and it was alluded to
pretty openly that he had done the dirty I.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Hadn't a fair Yes, yeah, shame on you, David.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
That's right, shame on you. But a lot of details
weren't gone into then.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It was more like, cool, you're an uber, famous Hollywood star,
you've done the dirty standard anyway, Lilias just dropped her album.
It's called west End Girl. She's in a west End
theater play at the moment. Holy smokes the whole thing,
from the first song to the end. It's almost like
walking you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Through, step by step to their relationship.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It is like an expose, like appealing back and a
trauma dump of the entire thing. And she has made
it sound like he is just the worst human. Like
it is tell about their sex life, about everything he
did wrong, about them having an open relationship, and he
was supposed to just pay for it in a hotel,
but he went and had these emotional connections.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now, I know a lot of people are saying, what
has she gone too far? And also the fact that
included in those details, it's a real fusion, as she says,
a fact in fiction. Yeah, and I think it's totally fine.
I think if you're going to be a bit of
an arsehole like David has and cheat on your wife,
the mother of your children, I almost think you just
deserve a little bit of that.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I want to disagree with you. I think you deserve it.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yes, in terms of if you've cheated, it's one hundred
percent up to her to announce that you have.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's not where the problem is.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I think the problem is when you have then built
like an entire album on it, and every song is
about it with wild accusations. But then you make the statement, hey,
like bit of act, bit of fiction, but definitely been
inspired by some events but not all.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
That's pretty dangerous territory.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He's just managing expectations.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It is the fake part that he played tennis with someone,
or that he had these multiple open affairs, like they're
very different things.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It's genius. The marketing behind this is phenomenal, and I
almost think this will act as a bit of a
beacon to other people out there, both men and women,
to say, do not cheat, otherwise you could have what
David's being served right now.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well, definitely don't cheat if you're like with a famous
singer songwriter either that has the ability to completely at you.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Well, I think that's what artists should be doing right now.
And like, take a page out of Taylor Swift's book,
right yeah, if something bad happens to you, what do
you do? You turn it into a song and what
else you do? You and bellishit? Just a little bit
bit of Sultan Pepin about Taylor.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Taylor doesn't embellish Lily Allen did. No, Lily Allen absolutely has.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And I think I think we need a statement overall.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It's fact or it's fiction. It can't be both. And
I think it can.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Only be both if it's a out a made up character, but.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Not when the whole world knows exactly who you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Do you know what I love, Britt when I have food,
not sharing it, I love it to be fusion. Do
you know what else I love with my music?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Fusion?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Fusion? Okay, say you okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I can't wait for Maddie Jay's album to drop in
a couple of months.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
All right, Well that is it from us. We are
getting out of here. We'll see you back tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
You got that?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Hey, you can't wipe the smile off my face because
I'm excited to announce that I went to a Halloween party.
It was someone across the road on US Street, and
I won a costume award. There were four up for grabs.
There was scariest costume, there was the best family. Yeah,
there was the best individual, and the funniest costume.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
So let me pick what you were. What do you
think I got could be funny?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
You do like a bit of a Hong Kong I'll
go individual ooh, you're right.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
The first time we were at Spotlight actually on the weekend,
and I walked past the costume caught my eye and
it was of a disco purple.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Flare outfit looked velvety.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It was a lovely velvet, had a beautiful hat, and
I just I couldn't walk past it. It was like
thirty bucks, and I thought, you know what, I'm going
to treat myself.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And it was a prize.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
I didn't even know there was a competition at the party.
And then all of a sudden they handed out leaflets
and you had to vide listened to Matt.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I didn't know this was a competition.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You're born. And then all of a sudden, I started
hearing people go, I think I'm going to vote for
that guy in the disco costume for the funniest outfit.
And I was going, oh my god, oh my god,
I've got a And when they're announcing it, I had
to play really cool like I wasn't really.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
When you said when they're announcing there, how many people
were there?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I want to say there was a twenty adults and
roughly fifteen children, big crowd. I had to say, speech,
what did you win? Just respecting one an inflatable trophy couch.
The kids then paid with them burst But if the
trophy wasn't important, it was just the prestige.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I am happy for you.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I cannot believe we're about to welcome someone into our
very tight knit group, Matty J. But we have Bachelor
bear in the Flesh sitting right opposite us about to
give us all the insider goths from the Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You are gorgeous, gorgeous, fire flame.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
If you're an emoji, absolutely sunny, and he's so humble.
Look at him. He won't even acknowledge. Haven't looking you?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
No, no, So Mattie J.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
And I are both known the batch. Matty Jay's had
both experiences.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
He was a contestant that got dumped and then he
became the Bachelor, and I was the first person to
win the Bachelor in the world and not actually win anything.
So that's my flex. How have you found the entire
experience compared to now like the aftermath, because they're two
different experiences, like being rusting it, filming, meeting all these women,
macking on, like having some some kissy time, and now
(03:18):
to do in the publicity tour.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Our publicity is crazy. It's worse, absolutely, well, yeah, yeah,
it's much worse.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Why no, it's.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
It's okay, it's okay. I'm just taking it day by day.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You're saying that because it's your birthday and you hungover. Yes,
but I've got some rapid fire questions if I may,
I'll be honest. Before I was on the show, a
friend of mine who was in cosmetics, said to me,
I need some work done because I'm going on TV.
I got a bit of botox. It's the first time
I ever got botox, probably the last.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I didn't notice that.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Be honest, Bear, have you had any work done?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Not a bit, nothing at all. This is all original natural.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So was there one woman in particular from the very start?
As soon as you walked in that sort of took
your breath away and you thought this could be this
could be something?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
All of them no rubbish, that rubbish.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Twenty beautiful, absolute, intelligent, fun, gorgeous women.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
So where do they get wrong on mine? We had thirty?
You couldn't big one.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
He's been trained well, you could waterboard bear and he
wouldn't give anything away, Which is coming up next y sas.
Is it true you got paid half a million dollars
to be on the show?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Half a million? Yeah, true, it's way too.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Low, more than half a million dollars. Okay. In the
American series we have overnight stays. Previously in Australia we
haven't had that element included. Are there any overnight stays
for your season of The Bachelor?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I just say, well, if you you don't buy a
new car without taking a test drive.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
First, oh, I think that that's an exclusive. Okay, do
you didn't test drive? Did you matter?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I didn't test drive anything. No, I paying for it.
Now turn the keys in the ignition and it started
and I was thrilled.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Okay, Roy ceremony, group date, single date? What was harder?
Speaker 4 (05:08):
The same one? As we're brutal? Yeah, they were so hard.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But there is something beautiful about the Golden Bachelor, the
whole idea. As you're older, you've lived a little, you
have so many things that you've all been through that
a lot of the younger people might not have been through.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And I say that so I feel like you.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Connect on a different level, and I imagine it makes
it so much harder to say goodbye.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
To these women that you know, have all been through.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
So much, We've all had love and loss, and they
were so courageous, those women, and to put themselves out
there to say goodbye to any of them was tough.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Should you feel the first time you get thrust into
filming and you're having this beautiful moment with this woman
and maybe you're in the pool. I remember my first
kiss on that. I was in the pool and we
were like trying to be really intimate and beautiful and romantic.
But then like you squint one eye open and you've
got boom mics in your face and cameramen and all.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
These people watching you. How did you deal with that?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Six cameras, thirty people stand around and they say, okay,
now be natural.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah and.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Kiss yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Early on I kind of just blocked everything out and
just concentrate on it's in front of me, true or false.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
The rumor mill has been rife, and we can put
this to bed finally, once and for all. Is there
any truth at all to the chemistry between yourself and
some almitage?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
If I had an extra her I was, I probably
would have.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I saw it. I saw at night one. There was
a there was chemistry.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
There, she's beautiful. She's absolutely beautiful there.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I imagine if that was the plot twist, It's happened before.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's happened before in the German Bachelor. Yeah, on the
finale he gave it to the director.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Shut up, Sorry, that was aggressive. I mean really, I'm like,
is that true?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
On brit season in the finale, the honey Badger picked
no one? Okay, he left empty handed? That was that
was Can you believe it? Can you believe that? Not
good enough for that?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I had that option as well.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Do you give someone a row? Can you confirm?
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I think you'll have to watch and see.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Did you steal anything from the set?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I have so much clothes.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
I was about to say the stylist it was my
best friend.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Oh really, I still so much clothes.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
I'll just let her know.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Before we go. I'm just going to say a name.
I had been watching this with a keen eye, and
I think I've picked who is the winner. I'm going
to say her name. You can react in any way
you like, but I think the winner of the twenty
twenty five Golden Bachelor is jan Jan is beautiful.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I think, Sonny, I'm gonna throw her in the ring.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Sonny is beautiful. Sonny is absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Okay, well, Bet, thank you so much. Happy birthday, enjoy
the rest of the season.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I go home and have a wonderful night with Jan
and we will see you guys after the.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
The Golden Bachelor returns tonight at seven thirty pm on
Channel nine and nine. Now that's Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm
loving it.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Bear Farewell, thank you so much, my pleasure.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Hey, how great was that talking to Bear?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Does that taken back seven or eight years to when
you were in the Batch mansion.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Look, I'll be honest, I wanted more from Bear.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
It was horrible.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
It was nice to see him in the flesh, but
I just I wanted to rag Dolim and go tell
us everything.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Do you reckon? He picked somebody?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Like?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
After speaking to him, what do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I reckon? Okay, this is my hot take.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I think it's gonna get us into trouble produce to Grace.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I think he doesn't pick anyone, and I do think
that him and Sam, the host of the show, I
think they have a thing. Did you know what his
answer about sa that would be?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I know, but I just thought he was playing into it.
That would be more wild than the hunting bad jock.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I don't think when he was talking like that, I
could see the publicists. They were they were dying, they
were a little bit worried.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know what, I think.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I'm going to take a different angle. I think he
does pick somebody. I get what you mean about the
Sam vibe. He threw it in there. We can't argue
with it, right. He said he would have given her
a RaSE, I.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Wish I had an extra rows, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Which I mean there's a whole rose garden there.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, like they were there. I think he picked somebody.
I don't reckon it works out. That's what I'm calling.
And guys, we don't have any inside of Goss. We're
just speculating. But that's what I reckon.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Yeah, he didn't. He wasn't oozing love. I couldn't smell
the love on him today.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
All right, give us a bit of goss, Matt, because
you asked him a question that everyone always wants to know,
which is money. How much the bachelor's get paid? And
he gave us obviously for fake scenario. He said it
was more than half a meal.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Which was it? More than half a meal. I was like, God,
I've got to go back and speak to my lawyers.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, how much did you get paid as the Bachelor?
Because they love a speculation, but we know it's not real.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It wasn't a lot of money. I know what you
were and it was it was not a lot of
money because when they were negotiating, they made it seem
like there were two other guys who were going to
get the job, and they said, but here's the contract,
here's the offer. If you're try and negotiate, then you're
out of the mix.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
So you paid them.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
So it was under thirty thousand dollars to be the Bachelor.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
It's insane to think that you could do it for
so and I say, so low, it's a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
How did you do it? I didn't do it for
the money, Britt. I did it because I wanted to
fall in love.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But it's also it's when we were doing it, like
so Bear he just filmed his season is in like
six weeks. We did it for a quarter of a year.
It was like a bit over three months. We're in
that place.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
In a twelve year period, I did six months of
the Bachelor and The Bachelorette. It was a lot of TV.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, you had half a year of your life.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I know.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Okay, the actual rose ceremonies when you're giving out the roses.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
How much choice do you actually have?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
And when I say that, obviously you choose who you
get to keep, But do you get to choose who
goes home? Because like when I say this, obviously you
put forward five people that you want to send home.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Do they ever say, no, you have to keep this person.
They're good for TV, or they're good for this storyline.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Or they always say like it's up to you to
make the final call. But they do say, you know, hey,
we are making a TV show here and it needs
to be interesting, and we think person A in person B,
they're giving us a lot of spice, and you know,
I would know that I'm not going to end up
with them, but we would give them a couple more
weeks because they were making things interesting. But they would
always say, like, if you are really really unhappy and
(11:16):
you do want to let them go, then you can.
It's up to you. But you know, we would like
you to walk down this path a little bit and
if you're happy to come with us, then.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Great, Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just sort of a memory.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Go on, what do you can't?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
And I've never told anyone, so you guys might not know,
but you have minders. So the Bachelor or the bachelorette,
they have a minder. It's literally a person that stays
with you at all times to make sure you're not
doing anything wrong that you shouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Or they keep you in line. And the contestants have
minders as well. They stay in the house with you.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
They're always there if you need them, but they're keeping
an eye on you because when you go into the house,
no TVs, no phones, no I don't even think you're
allowed to take a book in from memory, no technology
like you were.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
It's like, what is that Stockholm syndrome you get put
into this house?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Anyway, I snuck in an iPod shuffle, so you were
allowed to take iPods in that didn't have a screen
or anything, and that just had music.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Anyway, I snuck one the end that had a secret camera.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
On it and they didn't know, and I was just
taking photos of the whole thing inside with my camera.
And then one day I was out in the yard
and no one was ever up early and I was
taking I was taking selfies with alarmists, me and the.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Lums, and then I got called in by the minder.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
You got sprung.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
She but she goes, what do you do you have
a camera here? Because it was still across a paddic
right so she could just see.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
The selfie arm and She's like a giveaway, right to giveaway.
I was like, what, how would I have a camera
in here? She's like, Brittany, just tell me the truth.
And I was like, absolutely no, I don't have a
camera like She's like, but I saw you across the
paddy taking selfie and I just said that. I was like, oh,
I was like, no, I'm just going so crazy in here.
I'm just acting and pretending anyway.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I love that she believed.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And I think back to it and I'm like, she
must have just been like what I've got sor like a.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Huge ca.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Matt the Lily drama. Have you heard what is going down?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I love a bit of goss, britt Okay, I'll be honest.
I like hearing all the juicy secrets here and I
kind of like this is playing out the public eye.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Well, do you know who David Harbor is? Her husband
or ex husband.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, I'm a big Lily Allen fan myself.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
All right, Well, for those of you that don't, David
Harbor and Lily Allen were married.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
They actually only broke up at the start of the year,
but it.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Was it was very public and it was alluded to
pretty openly that he had done the dirty I.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Hadn't a fair Yes, yeah, shame on you, David.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
That's right, shame on you. But a lot of details
weren't gone into then.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It was more like, cool, you're an uber, famous Hollywood star,
you've done the dirty standard anyway, Lilias just dropped her album.
It's called west End Girl. She's in a west End
theater play at the moment. Holy smokes the whole thing,
from the first song to the end. It's almost like
walking you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Through, step by step to their relationship.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It is like an expose, like appealing back and a
trauma dump of the entire thing. And she has made
it sound like he is just the worst human. Like
it is tell about their sex life, about everything he
did wrong, about them having an open relationship, and he
was supposed to just pay for it in a hotel,
but he went and had these emotional connections.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now, I know a lot of people are saying, what
has she gone too far? And also the fact that
included in those details, it's a real fusion, as she says,
a fact in fiction. Yeah, and I think it's totally fine.
I think if you're going to be a bit of
an arsehole like David has and cheat on your wife,
the mother of your children, I almost think you just
deserve a little bit of that.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I want to disagree with you. I think you deserve it.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yes, in terms of if you've cheated, it's one hundred
percent up to her to announce that you have.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's not where the problem is.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I think the problem is when you have then built
like an entire album on it, and every song is
about it with wild accusations. But then you make the statement, hey,
like bit of act, bit of fiction, but definitely been
inspired by some events but not all.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
That's pretty dangerous territory.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He's just managing expectations.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
It is the fake part that he played tennis with someone,
or that he had these multiple open affairs, like they're
very different things.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
It's genius. The marketing behind this is phenomenal, and I
almost think this will act as a bit of a
beacon to other people out there, both men and women,
to say, do not cheat, otherwise you could have what
David's being served right now.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Well, definitely don't cheat if you're like with a famous
singer songwriter either that has the ability to completely at you.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Well, I think that's what artists should be doing right now.
And like, take a page out of Taylor Swift's book,
right yeah, if something bad happens to you, what do
you do? You turn it into a song and what
else you do? You and bellishit? Just a little bit
bit of Sultan Pepin about Taylor.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Taylor doesn't embellish Lily Allen did. No, Lily Allen absolutely has.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And I think I think we need a statement overall.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It's fact or it's fiction. It can't be both. And
I think it can.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Only be both if it's a out a made up character, but.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Not when the whole world knows exactly who you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Do you know what I love, Britt when I have food,
not sharing it, I love it to be fusion. Do
you know what else I love with my music?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Fusion?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Fusion? Okay, say you okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I can't wait for Maddie Jay's album to drop in
a couple of months.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
All right, Well that is it from us. We are
getting out of here. We'll see you back tomorrow.
