Speaker 2 (00:28):
Do you know what else feels good?
Speaker 5 (00:30):
A lot of things?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
What dolp me stranded on Honeymoon Island's.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Been sucked into a new real eye, haven't you.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I wish I was joking guys like I'm the one
out of our little you know, our little show that
is obsessed with married at first sight that's obviously now
done and dusted. Clearly, I was a bit of a
fan of The Bachelor back in the day that's also
done and dusted. Stranded on Honeymoon Island didn't have high expectations.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I am obsess.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Well, I have a friend on there, which one. His
name's Sam. I don't know, n't seen it yet. I
just know he's got dark hair.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
He's like I into Fitness PTE.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Okay, so I've just caught up on it, right. So
there's a couple of main characters. It's very if Mass
and Survivor had a love child. But then also there
was a sprinkling of The Bachelor in there as well,
like it's a bit of a hybrid of all three.
So they get kind of like dumped together. Firstly, they
do a speed dating round. Then they pick who as
in like the people don't pick. The producers obviously picked.
So the contestants have an idea of who they want.
(01:28):
But then they walk down the island. It might be them,
it might not be. It might be just someone else
from the speed dating thing. Then they're stuck together on
an island with nothing, all wearing their wedding dresses and
their wedding.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Clothes for like a night or two and they have.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
To cook and take care of themselves and sleep out
under the stars.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And then all of.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
The couples get together and they have to live on
this island for twenty one days.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's just brilliant weird flex.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's like really so it's weird flex to put like,
it's almost like that alone show with the Bachelor.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's weird.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
They don't even drop them off at the island. They
just drive like weim two hundred meters to shore and
the poor girls who are wearing these massive chill dresses
have to jump off the boat and swim doesn't sound
very safe. No, it's not, it's not. But I think
they know what they're getting in for.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
Well, I can't wait to watch that one. Now.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
We have been talking a lot about weddings on this show,
and that is because Brittany got married in Bali. But
I have a question for you now that you are,
I mean you're in newlywed. What do you think is
the key indicator of a long term happy marriage?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Long distance living in different countries, seeing each other sporadically,
like seeing a great Wi Fi.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Connection, continuing to have a honeymoon romance, but expanse for forever.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
All right, Well, look, the reason why I want to.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Talk about this is because there was a Harvard professor
who is uncovered the secrets to a lasting relationship.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And one might think it's passion.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
One might think it's having a hot, steamy romantic time,
but it certainly doesn't seem to be it.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Have a listen to this happiest marriages or those characterized.
But what we call compa anon love not passionate love.
I mean passionate love is at the very beginning, when
you're actually bonding to each other, Like, what do you
want to get to within five years? Is best friendship?
And best friendship is a magical thing. And you get
to live with your best friend, so you get to
watch TV with every night and.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
They've got your back on literally everything. Oh I think
it's nice.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I'm sorry, Pretty like you uncovered the secret. Make sure
your friends with your partner. Sorry, I agree with him,
but it's like, I feel like it's pretty obvious.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
This is a Harvard professor. Don't pooh pooh his research.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
God damn it. He's been doing this for twenty years.
He told him twenty years ago. He's been studying love
for twenty years. No, okay. I The reason why I kind.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Of love this is because I do think in relationships
sometimes we put so much emphasis on keeping the spark
alive and having this passionate, all consuming relationship. But I
also think that sometimes that all consuming, super passionate relationships
can be the most toxic and most problematic. And if
you ask me years ago, what kind of relationship I wanted.
I would have said fireworks, no, not abs abs, private
(04:10):
ship anny No. I would have said I loved like
the intensity of it. And I definitely had that with
my husband when we first met. Like, I'm not going
to say that didn't exist.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
You were also fighting thirty other women for him, though
the intensity was there.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So the intensity was so there, couldn't have been more intense.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Oh, it was a competition. I was gonna win, but
didn't even like him.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
We've been together eight years now, and I honestly think
one of the best things about our relationship is that
we are best friends. We have so much fun together.
We love hanging out together. And you know, when I
listened to this, I think that sometimes you can you
can get a bit caught up in like, oh, we're
keeping the spark alive, but we're doing all the things
that we need to do in our relationship in order
to like still.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Have that connection.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
But so nice to hear that, Like the number one
definer is that friendship is also so so important.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I just can't stop giggling every time you say it.
It's just not rocket science that you need to be
friends with your partner. But What I do like that
he says is about the fact that it's really important
to know that your intimacy levels change and they decrease,
Like it's normal to have less drive and passion and
for want of another word, if you can read between
the lines here for three PM, but that is.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Normal in a long term relationship.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
And I like that he's reiterating that, but I feel
a bit bad for him that he spent twenty years
studying this to you need to be friends with your partner.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
It's not just friends, though I disagree, it's best friends.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
And I say this, shut up.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I say this because there are a lot of people
out there, and I'm sure there's people listening to this
who are like, yeah, I'm friends with my partner.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Of course I love him or I love her.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
We're really really close, but like they're not my number
one for best friend.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Like I go to my girls and I tell them
X y Z before I tell my husband.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
People have different relationships, for sure, but like, what a
nice place to be out when it's like the first
person you want to tell everything to is your partner.
If you're going to spend the rest of your life
with britt No.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I just shut up, Britty.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
No, this is a shared radio show, and you're allowed
to talk about the things that you.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
Want to talk about.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, and Brittie's like, and I'm allowed to propreo them.
So anyway, happy marriage to you.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Now, Laura's been taking the mini you have because because
I got married, I also decided to have a few
mini moons, like a few little mini honeymoons, because let
me set the scene, I had to go back to
work straight after the wedding, so we didn't have time
for a big honeymoon. So what my husband Ben and
I decided to do was try to make the most
(06:35):
of the time we had together, which is literally like
a few little three day micro trips like micro honeymoon.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Oh I'm not I am not making like that's great.
I'm all for that. I know the story you're about
to tell because you told it on our podcast This
Morning Life on Cut podcast. But I am still so
humiliated for you, Like, I'm all right, you.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Should crawl into a hole and never come back.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Okay, Well, you set the scene. So we went to
the wit Sundays.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
We went up to Hayman Island, which is like gorgeous, stunning.
I like to say, it's a bit of a cross
between The Truman Show and White Lotus because once you
go there, there's nowhere else to go. Like you're on
the island and it's it's amazing, but it's like whatever, and.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The sky could actually be a paper roll. We just
don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Yeah, the sky could be a paper roll.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
So Ben and I were staying at this beautiful resort
that has like the main part of the resort, which
is like apartments like normal resort rooms, and then like
a couple hundred meters away there's like a more private
area where you're in your own little bungalow room. It's
like called a pavilion, and they're not attached, but they're
only a couple of meters apart, and they're sort of
(07:41):
line a private beach, so you could you can lay
in bed, and then a meter away from you is
a whole glass wall that looks out onto the beach
in the ocean, and you get it's stunning, but you
cannot be more beachfront. Like you walk out of your
door and within three meters you're on the sand, like
romantically walking up and down the beach. And so the
(08:01):
idea is you've got a little private area to yourself.
But also people can still walk pass like other people
still walking to their billas.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's still a beach.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
It's still a beach. So I was just living my
absolute best life there.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
It was all glass walls everywhere, so you could see
out like every view, and I thought the best part
about it was the fact that it had like this
two way glass where you could see out perfectly, but they.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Can't see in, And I thought that's magical. So I
was like living my best life. I love to be naked.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I love it when I'm in my house, Like I
will walk around naked all the time. I would cook naked,
I will do everything. It's quite liberating. And so Ben's
been training a lot for his next football season, so
he's been going to the gym a lot without me,
and I was just like staying naked, eating pringles in bed, naked,
watching TV, naked, doing yoga, naked like you name it.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I was doing it.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
You're just living in your own house, naked, in the
privacy of your own room.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, for three days, fully protected.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
And there was something like I've never really been like
that before. There was something quite like, I don't know
what the word is.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
But knowing I'm sitting there naked on the bed looking
at people walking past, and I'm eating pringles and knowing
that they're so close to me but couldn't see me,
there was like something in that.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I think it's it's like, really, yeah, it really taps
into your voyeurism for sure, like if you had a voyeurism.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
King there, it is, britt It isn't.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
It isn't because I knew that they couldn't see me,
but I still felt something knowing that it was so close. Anyway,
after three days of this, Ben comes back from the
gym and I'm nude, just sitting on the edge of
the bed, admiring the view and there's a family walking
past out the front and Ben, my husband, walks in.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
He goes Brendany, he's what are you doing? I said,
what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
What am I doing? And he's like, why are you naked?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
And I was like, Babe, I've been naked for three days.
I was like, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
We're in our own apartment and he's like, yeah, but
people are literally looking at you. I was like, Ben,
it's two way glass. They can't see in.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
He's like, baby, it's not two way glass.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He's like, I just walked.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
Up the beach and saw you nude inside.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It was like, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
And I was like, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
I put clothes on and I go out the front
onto the beach where this poor family just was.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
It is not two way glass. It is just a
normal window.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's a normal window.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
So for three days I have been thinking that people
can't see me.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
No one knows what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Why would you assume, like, surely you've been out the
front of your own apartment.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
No, because it was such a dark tinted glass. But
I've worked out the tint is just for the sunlight.
It's like it's to stop the sunlight. But I just
assumed it would make sense to have a private bunkle
over it to my glass.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
The best part of this story is one day Brick
called someone to come and fix the spa, which was
on the balcony. So this guy comes to fix the
spa and he's on the deck fixing the spar and
Brittany's standing inside at the two way glass, totally topless, watching,
just watching.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I was like he was doing a great job.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
He did take a while.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Anyway lesson lawyer PSA, never assume that a glass is
two way unless you have been locked up in jail.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
What you know when you're in an interrogation room, that's
when it's two way. Do you also mean one way glass?
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I hit one way two way glass. Oh, I got
to say, it's just real life.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
How did Cluin out the whole time? Yes, one way glass.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
If anyone pointing at home that was thinking what and
more on two wear glass?
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Yeah, I thought it was one He's.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Like, yes, everyone could see me and I knew it
the whole time.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I always knew it, and I leant himTo it.
