Speaker 1 (00:10):
Heart podcasts, heem More Kiss Podcast playlist and listen live
on the Free iHeart app. I cannot believe we're about
to welcome someone into our very tight knit group, Matti 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 2 (00:31):
Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
You are gorgeous, gorgeous fireflame if you're an emoji.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Absolutely, and he's so humble, look at him. He won't
even acknowledge.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
So Mattie J And I are both on the batch.
Mattie Jay's had both experiences. 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
(01:04):
rusting at filming, meeting all these women, macking on, like
having some some kissy time, and now to do in
the publicity tour.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Our publicity is crazy.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's worse.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Absolutely, well yeah, yeah, it's much worse. Why no, it's okay.
It's okay. I'm just taking it day by day.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You're saying that because it's your birthday and you hungover, Yes, exactly,
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 ever got botox, probably the last.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I didn't notice that.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Be honest, Bear, have you had any work done?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Not a bit, nothing at all. This is all original, natural, dude.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
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. All of them no rubbish, rubbish.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Twenty beautiful, absolute, intelligent, fun, gorgeous women.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
So where do they get wrong on mine? You couldn't
pick one. He's been trained well. You could waterboard Bear
and he wouldn't give anything away. Which is coming up next,
sas is it true you got paid half a million
dollars to be on the show?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Half a million?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
True, of it's way too low.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
More than half a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
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 4 (02:37):
I just say, well, if you you don't buy a
new car without taking a test.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Drive first, I think that that's an exclusive. Okay, do
you didn't test drive? Did you matter? I didn't test
drive anything.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
No paying for it.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Now turn the keys of the ignition and it started
and I was thrilled.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Okay, roy ceremony, group date, single date.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
What was harder was seremonies were brutal. They were so hard.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
But there is something beautiful about the Golden Bachelor. The
whole idea is your 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.
And I say that so I feel like you connect
on a different level. And I imagine it makes it
so much harder to say goodbye to these women that
you know, I've all been through so.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Much, We've all had love and loss, and there was
so courageous those women and to put themselves out there
to say goodbye to any of them was tough.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
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 how 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
these people watching you. How did you deal with that?
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Six cameras, thirty people stand around and they say, okay,
now be natural.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah and kiss? Yeah? Yeah? Did you find it awkward?
Early on?
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I kind of just blucked everything out and just concentrate
on who's in front of me.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
True or false? 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 2 (04:21):
If I had an extra rowse, I probably would have.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I saw it. I saw at Night one. There was
a there was chemistry there.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
She's beautiful. She's absolutely beautiful there.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Imagine if that was the plot twist, it's happened before
it's happened before in the German Bachelor.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, on the finale he gave it to the director.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Shut up, Sorry, that was aggressive. I mean really, I'm like,
is that true?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
But on brit season in the finale, the honey Badger
picked no one. Okay, he left empty handed? That was
that was that was Can you believe it? Can you
believe that? Not good enough?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
That I had that option as well.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Do you give someone a rose? Can you confirm?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I think you'll have to watch and see.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Did you steal anything from the set?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I have so much clothes.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I was about to say the stylist it was my
best friend.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh really, I still so much closes.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I'll just let her know 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.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Jan is beautiful.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I think Sonny.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I'm gonna throw her in the ring. Sonny's beautiful. Sonny
is absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Okay, Well, Bet, thank you so much, Happy birthday. Enjoy
the rest of the season.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I go home and have a wonderful night with Jan
and we will see you guys after the.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
The Golden Bachelor returns tonight at seven thirty pm on
Channel nine and nine. Now that's Mondays and Tuesdays. I'm
loving it.
