Hey guys and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Brittany and you're thinking
this is Wednesday what is happening we have a really really exciting bonus episode for you

I do have a guest on I have done an interview and it has come very highly requested by you lot
for the better part of a year today we are speaking to the love of my life the love of
my current life can I put a disclaimer no the love of my life Jordan Thompson you guys have
wanted to get to know Jordan you've wanted this episode for quite a long time I guess since I
really started to openly speak about him and I feel like that's I mean he's a big part of my life
I do talk about some aspects of him he's very private on his social media so I guess he is
pretty hard to get to know you hear from Matty J a lot obviously Matt comes on in and he does
this thing on the podcast you know all about him and I can completely understand why you want to
get to know Jordan so we put some questions out to you guys we asked you what you want to know
all of these questions and all of this chat has come from you guys these are questions that you
want to know none of this has come from me but we had a lot of fun recording it we had a few
little arguments along the way which is pretty standard but yeah first and foremost Jordan is
an athlete he's not a podcaster he is not a radio host but he did jump on board to support me in
this so you guys can get to know him and I hope you get to see another part of him I hope you get
to see why he is the love of my life and why I love him so much. He's very important to me and
I can say this now because he's not currently listening to this intro and I doubt he's going
to listen to this episode back because he hates listening to himself but it is very important to
me and I hope you guys get to see a different side of him and without further ado let's get
into the chat. Today we are speaking to tennis player Jordan Thompson. Jordan you have a career
high of world number 43 and you are currently ranked number three in australia you're an
olympian you have made the fourth round of the us open third round of wimbledon third round of
french open and you've beat the likes of andy murray but by far your greatest achievement well
in my books anyway is being my boyfriend is this a wrap on you or a wrap on me i crack myself up
jordan it's a long time coming you have been requested by many of our listeners to come on
the podcast. Welcome to Life Uncut. Thank you. I didn't think I would ever be here but here we are
and thanks for having me. Why didn't you think you'd ever be here? Dating, podcast, probably not
my thing. Also because you don't listen to the podcast maybe? Don't listen to the podcast and
I don't think I've ever been on one so here we are. So I've said a few times on the podcast that
you don't listen to any of our episodes and people don't believe me. I've had a lot of listeners
writing saying as if he doesn't listen to your podcast can you tell everyone if you have listened
to anything and what it has been and why yeah i haven't listened to the podcast simply because
before i met you you were a virgin and of course i don't need to hear about anything else yeah
that's why in my head the less i know the better i sleep so i have no dating history in your head
zero absolutely zero and why did you come on the podcast today because you dragged me on it okay
cute love that you love that you're on a straight up well jordan because you don't listen to the
podcast you would have no idea how things are done we do a segment at the start of every podcast we
do it with every guest it's called accidentally unfiltered now accidentally unfiltered is
essentially your most embarrassing moment you tell us we basically laugh at you not with you
do you have an embarrassing moment and i'm sorry to just spring this on you i probably should have
pre-warned you yeah thanks for the warning we've been together for how long now you should know by
now most embarrassing or apart from thinking that your stretch marks on your leg was an injury
oh my god if anyone's new to the podcast and you haven't heard that episode I have actually told
that story before when Jordan and I first got together we were in a hotel room and I was laying
on my back on a lounge reading a book i had a little denim shorts on jordan came over the top
over the back of the couch to lean over and give me a kiss and just say hello and then with this
really serious look on his face he like touched the inside of my thigh looked up at me and he's
like babe what's that i was like sorry he's like what happened are you okay and i was like what
what are you talking about he's like here this these these cuts and i was like jeannie what are
you're talking about they're my stretch marks yeah thanks for that made me feel really good
just laughing in my face and i thought something serious had happened i just loved the concern it
was very cute did you have another embarrassing moment like a real one uh yeah it was going on
by the way i don't like to hear about any of your dating stories and i hate talking about my own but
i guess if it's protocol on life uncut i'd better do it it is 100 protocol everyone has to do it i
was on a first not really a first date i knew who i was going out with we knew each other but
we organized to meet at this hotel didn't have a hotel what was this first date well i don't know
where i was no we go straight to the hotel my god i would never use that saying what pound town yes
that one you're too much of a gentleman that's why you took your first date to a hotel wasn't a
hotel i was just meeting her at a hotel because i didn't know anywhere in town and that's where
i was and i guess it was the easiest place to find so i was waiting in the hotel and i bought
a coke just so i could get the wi-fi to let her know where i was and she came and met me i had
my runners on they were really bold they had zero grip and the idiot that i am there were stairs
and a ramp and i decided to take the ramp why would you do that were you injured no just the
ramp was closer and i decided to go down it and sure enough i slid down and it was probably the
stair there was probably about two or three stairs so that's how long the ramp was and i slipped on
my ass and she was just looking at me and she kind of laughed and i'm thinking she laughed out
of right she laughed out of sympathy oh thinking great this is going really well so you actually
on your butt? I was on my butt looking up thinking my god I hope you didn't see that and I tried to
get back up. What before she saw you? Yeah but she was already looking at me so I was screwed. I was
a little bit embarrassed. Was that the first and only date? No funnily enough we ended up going out
for you know nearly three years. What? How do I not know about this? Because I don't need to talk
about anything in my past because you weren't there it didn't happen. How many secret relationships
to be had that i don't know about not a secret you just weren't there that's true imagine if i
was there all right we'll talk about that off air so let's just start from the beginning we we put
the questions out to you guys you guys have been asking jordan to come on for a long time for some
reason you guys have an interest in him i can't work out why but he's finally agreed to come on
and you've written a bunch of questions that you wanted to ask him or you wanted to know about so
we've written a bunch down we're going to go through them as best as possible now look jordan
isn't a podcaster. We've never done this before. I can make no promises about the quality or the
content in this episode. I'm putting the disclaimer at the start of an episode. It is purely a bonus
episode. Jordan, do you think you can bring the goods today? Of course I'll bring the goods.
Okay. Let's start from the beginning then. You guys want to know, Jordan, can you give us your
quick version of how you and Brit first met and who made the first move? Quick version of how we
met well you realize the problem is right this is my platform so i talk about this all the time and
i give whatever stories i want so no one's heard your that doesn't make it true that's exactly
right that's why people want to know how much i've embellished i can come out i can come on this
podcast and just completely out you and know that you tell everybody that you're full of shit you
can throw me under a bus if you want but i'm sure i get thrown under a couple just think of the
repercussions later on so your version my version yes we matched on raya i sent the first message
and it was very smooth.
It wasn't really smooth.
What did you say in European?
I said, hey, how are you?
Or, hey, what's happening?
I'm pretty sure it was,
I think you just said, hey.
I definitely did not just say, hey.
I definitely asked a follow-up question.
Okay, I'll investigate that
and get back to you.
I could probably still find it.
Oh, you still got Raya on your phone.
That's good.
Yeah, I still date on the weekends.
Sick.
I will admit I'm not smooth at all.
Anybody that knows me will verify that.
but I did give you the option of finding your own restaurant no I asked you if you wanted to go out
to dinner and you said yes of course I mean why wouldn't you obviously yes threw myself at you
online absolutely and Channing Tatum and said no to me a few times you see so well you said no to
me three times so persistence is key and then I said uh you know where would you like to go what
are your favorite cuisines and you ended up giving me a list and it was pretty easy I just got to
pick from the list but you actually I'm just going to jump in there you actually said to me
I have no idea are there a list of restaurants you want to try and I had to write to you I wrote
you a list of like six restaurants or something and you were like cool I handed them to you on
a platter and all you had to do was make the phone calls yeah that's smart for me isn't it
it is but you know I don't advise it well it's like you and your partner can't decide on where
to go to dinner so the the guy says where where do you think we're going anyway so I booked us in
at a restaurant that you suggested, of course, I called up. There was only one spot left and there
were only two hour windows at the restaurant during COVID. We hit it off and we stayed for
six hours until we got kicked out of the restaurant because we were having such a great time.
That is true. It was a six hour date. I think it was maybe midnight. Next question is who kissed
whom first? I would love to say it was me, but you know, you're saying that you want a man who
takes control but i'm a gentleman i don't want to put you under any pressure so i asked you where
would you like to go for dinner what time so i let you make the decisions on that and i was just
happy to you know meet you there i'm not going to pick you up on a first date and you were late to
the date just add that in as well well you did say you were working and i'm like i was at a at a pub
down the road and you said i'm just leaving now and i'm thinking holy moly you are going to be
so late so i thought i'd have another drink and watch a little bit more tv i was nervous i needed
a few more drinks were you nervous of course i was nervous i get more nervous i got more nervous
going on the first date with you than i do playing a tennis match you were just gonna say i get more
nervous on dates than tennis matches is that still currently you're still going on dates oh yeah
heaps heaps yeah i definitely kiss you unfortunately yeah actually i don't know if you were a pussy
slash super super shy or you would just be a gentleman once knowing you I think you were just
really shy we were standing out the front I had had a great date I was a few wines deep like we
said it was six hours it was like the equivalent of three mini dates and I was like I really want
to kiss this guy because I've had such a great date didn't know when I was going to see him again
and I was trying to give him all the hints that I could and it just wasn't working then I was like
okay well here comes my taxi you know I've only got a minute left giving him everything handing
hit him on a platter he's like okay cool well like I had a great night I'm like same just a bit
awkwardly and I was like fuck man I was like okay I was like look the taxi's here in one minute can
I kiss you or is that okay I literally just had to ask him if it was okay and he's like yeah okay
and then I gave you the best kiss of your life I'm 100% glad that you did because I still think
about it all the time and I'm glad that's the way I went down what do you mean you think about it
i always think about our first kiss i also remember going home and thinking i wish i had
done that earlier because i really enjoyed it what asked me out earlier kissing you earlier
i asked you out earlier but you're such a busy woman that you didn't have any time for me
yeah and also i didn't think you were going to be anything i just thought you're going to be like
a summer shag or something wow okay that's why i don't listen to the podcast i don't need to know
what were your first impressions of each other first impressions uh i remember walking
through up the stairs to the date at the restaurant and thought wow this girl is really
hot didn't you think that i was someone else first oh that's true yes when i i walked into
the restaurant and i was a few minutes late yeah i was there first waiting well you did say that
you were on your way from bondi and there was only about 15 minutes to get to the city so i'm
thinking she's going to be late for sure so i was just at a pub around the corner and then you said
i'm there so i ran up the biggest flight of stairs in my life i was like shit i'm gonna be sweaty
stinky and out of breath by the time we get there i walked through the door and you said that you're
sitting down but you didn't say where and i've never been to this place before and there was
a girl with brunette hair facing the bar so i couldn't see her face and i nearly went up and
said uh hey or hi or whatever and she turned around opening line yeah look not smooth yeah
She turned around and I thought, wow, I've been catfished
because this looks nothing like the photos.
But then realised that one of the waiters or waitresses came over
and said, oh, your table is up the stairs.
Then I was like, thank God.
Saved by the bell.
Anyway, we fell head over heels in like three days.
And speaking of head over heels, who said love you first?
That's a technicality.
It is a technicality, but I still think you did.
well you gave me the green light because you had it down in written form so that made me feel a lot
more comfortable so i'm gonna go with you even though the words actually came out of my mouth
but you're still going with me you still think i said it first well you had it written down
on your phone but it came out of my mouth first okay we'll explain this technicality long story
short it had been about only five weeks we were away in canberra jordan was training for the
australian open and i had been we've been spending every single day together basically since we met
i was messaging a friend of mine that morning a guy friend and we were just chatting and he said
how are things going um you've been seeing a lot of this guy do you think it's something serious
now my friend knows i haven't been with anyone in the best part of a decade and i took a photo
of jordan sleeping we're in bed i took a photo of him sleeping creeper because jordan looks so
peaceful he's got these beautiful eyelashes and i sent it to my friend and i said i just
love him so much later that day Jordan asked me to show him something on the phone I opened the
phone and it was in that text message and basically he saw the text message looked at me there's this
moment of silence we didn't say anything because his friends arrived so he had seen that I had said
to someone else that I loved him so I didn't say it to Jordan it was in a text message I also asked
you what was there because you got out of your phone so quickly and I saw a video of me or a
photo of me sleeping I'm like what is that and then I panicked you know when you've taken a
photo of someone and then you go to show them something else in the phone it's like when
you screenshot something for you screenshot someone and then like a work colleague or
something and then you go to show them something in your phone and they see the photo that's what
happened and I flipped I was like holy fuck this guy thinks I'm a psycho he's just seen a photo
of himself in my of him sleeping in my phone so I had to show him because he was like creeping out
he was like just show me and I was like I'm not going to show you it's nothing and he's like I
saw what's in your phone you're either hiding something from me there's something you don't
want to tell me and he was getting a bit like you know are you seeing someone else is there
something weird going on i wasn't thinking that i was thinking why have you got a sleeping video
of me on your phone i think that is strange anyway that's how that story came about i had
to show him and then later that night he knew i was never going to say it so he took the wool by
the horns and you said i love you so ultimately you said it first great glad we established that
Okay, I'm not even going to say it.
Okay, I said it first.
Okay, what were your expectations versus realities of each other
from when you met online to when you actually met in person
and got to know each other?
Well, I'll start this one.
I actually didn't even answer the last one there.
What were my first impressions of you?
In all honesty, my first impressions when you walked in,
I was like, oh, he's hotter than the photos.
That's what I thought.
Am I not photogenic?
and you well no but you had a classic males well not even classic males because a lot of males are
really up themselves you just had a profile of someone that i could tell didn't have an online
presence it didn't care about having an online presence and was really low-key you didn't care
about what photos you put up they were pretty now that i know you like they were not your great you
didn't put your best face forward 100 not that they were bad but when you walked in i was like
wow he's actually way better looking in real life than the photos and I didn't think he looked as
young I was worried because there's obviously a seven year age gap I was like oh I'm gonna look
so old this guy's gonna be so young but you actually probably look older than me no offense
with your beard and your shaggy hair I agree with that you definitely look younger than me
so expectations versus realities I definitely thought and the reason I didn't match you the
reason I said no to you three or four times online before we matched is because in my head I saw that
you were only 26 years old you're a professional athlete you're constantly traveling I was like
this guy's just going to be a young player like there's going to be a little playboy he's not
going to be interested in a relationship he's not going to be serious he's going to be immature
because he's 26 and the reality of that was I could not be further from the truth after the
six-hour date and now that i know you literally could not be more opposite you're the most loyal
person i have no doubt that you would ever do the wrong thing by me i mean yes you're pretty
immature sometimes a lot of like farting and laughing whoa just to clarify here who dropped
the first bomb the other day and it nearly killed me yeah my first one oh my god it could have
killed a brown dog my first one my first one it was an accident i didn't know it was like a sleep
Slippery little sucker that just slipped out when I wasn't expecting it
Well, I walked over to the kitchen bench
I didn't even take a whiff
I just walked over and I literally said to you
What the fuck is that?
I was like, a skunk died in the trash can
It was worse than that
Anyway, it was my first bomb
Had to get the house fumigated
You're a lot more mature and you're a lot sweeter than I thought you would be
well my expectations versus reality of you is i thought and i actually thought this i thought
you were cool and now that i know you hang on a minute what do you mean you thought i am cool
cool with a k cool yeah exactly people who think they're cool they say that people that say nerd
burger and volcano are not cool well i'm gonna disagree with you there you're a loser and you
know i am okay is that all is that the only expectation best reality you thought i was cool
but i'm not well luckily i didn't really know anything before we met because i never watch
reality tv and i didn't know that you're on the bachelor the two shows until i was playing golf
one day and i got a message from you and my mate's like who was that and i said oh it's just this
girl that i've been talking to for a little while and he goes oh what's her name and i said it was
your name he said show me a photo and he goes oh no way i watched her get dumped on the bachelor
he goes i watched her season on the bachelor and i was like what and he goes yeah he uh she was on
the the season with the honey badger i'm like oh great in my head nothing's ever happened before
you're a virgin and that's the way i like to think about things so you didn't even know that i was on
the bachelor zero idea would you have still matched with me if you had known i was on the
bachelor there's a question you can be honest yeah i don't know i'm not a massive fan of reality tv
so you possibly would have judged a book by its cover and said oh she's been on reality tv i don't
want to borrow it it's impossible to say because i'm glad that we matched because i got to know you
before any well actually didn't look up any of the stuff so i think that's good for me in my head
you got to know me in real life before knowing the tv version yes and i never will watch the tv
version actually you could probably watch some episodes where like we're just having fun and
we're not on dates and stuff like that i'm good thank you okay great did people on your end this
is a good question obviously jordan and i we met we only went on a few dates and then basically
unofficially started living together i think because we knew we were on this really tight
time frame we knew jordan was going to go overseas indefinitely we didn't know if i'd ever be able
to see him we didn't know each other well enough to know if we wanted to do long distance yeah we
We didn't know if we wanted to commit yet.
So we decided spending every single day together.
Did people judge you in your life for moving so quickly with someone?
Not at all.
Because I don't think you ever.
I think you spent every single night at my house for months.
Yes, I wouldn't call it moving in because I would go home every single day
and pack a bag and come over to your place,
even though I was grinding through three hours of traffic a day.
No biggie.
Irrelevant.
Yes, we love what you did for me.
no one judged me quickly but my mum when i came down the stairs for probably i don't know the
fourth week in a row she said are you going to britney's and i said yeah and she goes are you
going to start paying rent there i was like maybe i should i've been there a lot yeah look i have a
tally for how much you owe me do you guys have nicknames for each other oh no don't tell everyone
what mine is it's the best nickname in the world what more could you possibly want than being called
stinky or say the long version of what you call me tell everyone what you actually call me
stinky butt and stinky pig yeah that's my favorite i get stinky stinky butt and stinky pig they're my
three nicknames would you believe no i call you cutie the majority of the time that's the first
one i ever gave you it was cutie it's not very original but it's stuck and it was actually kind
of like a name not just saying you're cute or you're a cutie is actually your name has now
become cutie yeah and i love that and then all of a sudden stinky pig started to come in and i don't
know where they came from well i was watching toy story 2 on the plane for the 500th time and one of
the characters name was stinky pete and you were sitting next to me and i decided to call you
stinky pete and you didn't like that so i called you stinky butt and you didn't really like that
so i just stuck with stinky oh i didn't like that funny that hey i very fondly refer to you on my
Instagram and on the podcast occasionally as slowy and I absolutely love that because you
absolutely hate it slowy because you're you are so fast on the court honestly and when you do sports
when you run it's ridiculous you like you've never seen anything like it's like a lightning bolt
but in real life in every other aspect of his life you were the slowest like most painfully slow
human i cannot stress enough you eat slowly you think slowly you wake up in the morning slowly
you walk slowly everything is so slow why would you want to be in a rush well it's not about being
in a rush it's about moving at a normal pace it is a normal pace it's my normal but other than
slowy i also call him stinky and that's about it oh so it's not fair for me to call you stinky but
it's okay never mind we're gonna get into some tennis questions now because you guys had a bunch
of tennis questions about jordan's career etc and what it's like to date a tennis player and then
we'll get back into some more personal questions after that so jordan or should i say stinky butt
slowy take us back to the beginning what was it like for you in the early days how did you get
into tennis how did you become a professional tennis player what age did you start playing
did you always want to be a tennis player i think i always wanted to be a tennis player i think my
dad and my mom ingrained it into me as they both played tennis my dad's a tennis coach
always had rackets out the back and I had a wall to hit against and I was out there for hours and
hours since I was a little kid as I got older I started to hit with my dad a little bit more
I eventually asked to get coached around you know 10 and hoping that my dad would give me lessons
and yeah he gave me lessons and I never looked back I went to nationals when I was either 10
or 12 but my first overseas trip was when I was 10 and so you only started playing at 10 and then
went to nationals at 10 are you just a freak no I mean I was already playing tennis before that but
they don't start tournaments proper tournaments until you're about 10 or 12 and I always wanted
to play I didn't know how good I would be I just wanted to compete it's my favorite thing in the
world to do no matter what it is yeah and then when I was 12 I think I got selected to go to
New Zealand and you know play a trans Tasman match so it was Australia versus New Zealand
I think when I was 13 I got selected to go to Europe and I went to Europe for maybe 12 to 14
weeks just with two other players and a coach so yeah I've been traveling the world since since
then really so at 13 you were traveling alone do your parents go with you uh no it was just like
later yeah pretty much it didn't really phase me but I always wanted to keep doing it because I
just loved playing and competing and I always wanted to play tennis. Didn't really enjoy the
travel later on. Really, really don't like flying and spending so many hours on a plane where you
got nothing to do but sleep. And what do you think about traveling now? Not much. Like what is the
worst part about being a tennis player now? Different bed, different surroundings every
single week. I really dislike the grind of traveling, whether it be flying, catching a
train catching a bus being on time all the time I mean if you're late you're going to miss your
flight or your train or you're not going to get to the next place and that affects every single
thing for the next week whether it be practice preparation it can affect your matches as well
because you're not you don't feel like you're prepared look I heard a sneaky rumor I can't
quite remember where I heard it from here we go did it come from you it came from a friend of a
friend of mine's dog i heard of not i heard a rumor that tennis players are quite selfish they're
actually quite selfish athletes unbelievably again i don't know where i heard that from but
what do you think about that rumor you heard right we are straight up admit it we are incredibly
selfish but it's because we are an individual sport and no one does anything for us at the
early stages a tennis player books his own room books his own travel books his own practice
sometimes early on in players careers they don't have enough money to spend on a coach so it's just
them by themselves so they literally have to do everything for themselves and they don't get the
help of anyone else so we just do it all on our own so then when someone asks us for something or
they expect you know whether it be a partner or you know just a friend and it could be the most
simple of things like going to the supermarket and just getting your own things and the other
person that you're traveling with oh did you get me this of course not fuck you go get your own
shit and that's i'm from experience that did happen many times oh like when i feel like at
the start it's not no i don't think selfish is the right word i think maybe inconsiderate but
that's literally that's not a personal thing it's just that you like you just said you haven't
actually had to consider anyone else before so i think selfish is the wrong word well no one
considers us so why would we consider them that's I think that's what our thinking is and people
think that we are so selfish but it's a selfish sport so it comes with the nature yeah I feel like
it's taken you a while to sort of learn how to relationship properly and what that's oh really
and what's involved in that yes really yes for people who can't see I'm giving Brit my best
death stare but I don't really have one no I do I think there's a lot of times at the start and
like you just said you'd go to get something for yourself and you'd come back and I'd be like oh
oh hey like did you get me one of those as well you're like oh no and that was it in a conversation
you can go get it yourself i don't think that happens too often no not anymore but i'm saying
in the early days it took you i probably wouldn't have even noticed you are actually way better now
but it did definitely take you a long time i guess that's the same reason that you guys are stubborn
as well isn't it because one of my pet peeves about you is you are so stubborn there is it's
your way or the highway all the time even if you know i'm right like you would never admit if i was
right i will admit when you're right you're just never right no we are pretty stubborn as well
it comes into selfish and stubbornness go hand in hand with tennis players just because we are
our own bosses and no one else is going to tell us what to do and except for now i'm your boss now
yeah and you tell me what to do and i hate it yeah that's because no one ever tells me what to do
because I don't have teammates or anybody else around.
What has been your best, almost favourite win and why?
Your favourite match.
Favourite win for sure is when I beat Andy Murray at Queen's Club
where he'd won I think maybe four or five times.
It's like playing in his backyard.
There were I think 10,000 people there that day
and it was a hot summer's day in London.
And I couldn't have played any better.
I don't think he could have played any worse probably.
but yeah i'll remember that for um for the rest of my life i beat a world number one on probably
one of his best surfaces well it is his best surface i think and yeah i think not many players
get the chance to play a world number one and to play a world number one and beat him um yeah
that'll forever be in my memory do you remember what he said to you at the end of the match
not really i can remember shaking hands and i said i think he said well done and good luck
he didn't seem too angry as i'm sure he would have been fuming but he was really good he was
gracious in defeat i've practiced with him ever since then and i've never brought it up once and
i never would but well you're not going to be like hey mate how you going remember that time i beat
you absolutely not but sometimes players always talk about you know when they played each other
and they remember certain shots remember certain points but i would never ever bring it up to him
in fact he was my favorite player one of my favorite players growing up so even now when
i'm watching him play i'm still going for him like you know i'm a little kid watching the tv
hoping that he would win so why wouldn't you bring it up to him is it just because you think
that it's just a respect thing i mean i beat him once but he was the world number one he's won
grand slams i'd much rather have his career than mine i think that he is a much better tennis
player than me but on one day of the year i happen to beat him but doesn't mean that i'm a better
tennis player than him that's it's i think it's just a respect thing has it made a difference to
your game having brit over here has it made a difference do you think good that i'm sitting in
the grandstand with my sparkly glitter sign it makes a difference that you're sitting in the
crowd but minus the sign every time i'm like a really i'm pretty vocal i'm a really big cheerer
and every after every match i say to jordan could you hear me cheering he's always like you're the
only thing i could hear it's hard to miss your voice it travels a mile it's deafening you can
always hear you and of course it's made a difference i hadn't won back-to-back matches
since Britt got here and funnily enough at the start of the year it was the first time I won
back-to-back matches and Britt was there also so she's definitely my lucky charm oh we might take
that grab and put it as our advertiser for this episode Jordan a lot of people want to know you
get so angry and fiery and you smash rackets and you yell and you scream and you hit balls out of
the court you have that little anger streak inside of you and then it looks like you're very placid
and calm off the court talk us through that because i want to know about this anger as well
because you are not an angry person pretty angry on the court sometimes it's just because i have
such high expectations of myself on a tennis court and i'm a little bit of a perfectionist so i want
the best for myself and i don't really tolerate anything less than that which is so silly but
maybe that's why i've succeeded playing tennis so far and i hope to keep it up so what you're
to say is you're going to continue to be angry and smash rackets i'll try my best not to but
usually it doesn't work out too well also when i feel like i'm not getting angry or getting a
little bit fiery it feels like i'm not trying i definitely don't want to feel like that on the
court because i'm so competitive and if i feel like i'm not trying i might as well give up would
you ever shave your mo even if brit begged you definitely not i have begged him i i begged him
every day do you know Jordan completely catfished me when we met when he came in the door for the
first few months from like the first moment I met him he had this beautiful beard and Jordan
has luscious hair he's got this beautiful thick hair thick eyelashes thick beard and I'm into
beards like it's my it's my jam so I was like this is heaven for the first few months then one day I
came home and I walked in the door and he was clean shaven with his big dirty mo I was like
what is on your face like have you lost a hideous bit and he's like no this is me this is what i do
all year it's just that i've been in off season and i've got a beard and from that was the day
i start i was like please please grow your beard back please shave your mustache i will absolutely
do anything for you and you you did it once you tried one match for me in the early days they
were the days where you actually were still trying to win me over so you were doing things to try and
please me those days so far gone but you did one match with it for me and then you've never done
it again yeah because how did the match go yeah but you lose all the time with a mo as well doesn't
work like that yeah but i also win matches and i'm zero and one with the beard so you do the math
okay so here's a question oh no would you rather we love would you rather would you
very mature game yeah i'm gonna think of this right now how old are you too old for you
would you rather have that mustache yep mustache on your face
the rest of your life
question answered
or never
ever
get a blowjob again
whoa
so you
you can keep your
my mum listens to this show
does she
hey Karen
I think so
block your ears
I mean your mum's had sex
and she knows you have sex
oh whoa whoa
how do you think
no she hasn't
how do you think
you were brought into this world
I just occurred
you think everyone
you just occurred
spontaneous combustion
yes
you spontaneously
combusted out of your
mother's vagina
yeah
stop
I might have to wrap it here
wrap it up here
wrap it here
yeah wrap it here
well
I think maybe
your dad should have
wrapped it
Jesus Christ
no would you rather
let's get back on track
no no no
we're off track
we're so far off
it's been derailed
have a moustache
every day
for the rest of your life
and never get a blowjob
moustache
or you can have
your beard
but you can still
get a blowjob
moustache
sorry mum
you would rather
really
you'd rather keep
that dirty slug
calling it there oh there you go you have it there first people he's never getting a boat
okay moving on to the age gap now this was a really common question we got a lot of these
questions there is a seven year age gap so there is seven years between us we met at 26 and 33
we're now yeah is that right yeah we're 26 and 34 as of yesterday so a lot of you want to know
yeah is that a problem was it ever on either of our minds when we first met and what are the main
considerations or the main worries so what did you think when you first matched me and you were like
oh she's seven years older than me did it bother you at all didn't bother me at all i was actually
quite looking forward to the date older woman hopefully less i don't know what to call it maybe
games maybe more life experience therefore they would have less bullshit i know that sounds bad
but it's true yeah but i mean it is true i think life experience does a lot and young people can
have life experience too but i mean i feel like you're guaranteed life experience when you're
older a little bit more mature of course i also needed someone that isn't dependent on me a lot
i'm not around a lot so i don't want like i can't really have a needy person i need someone who's
comfortable with who they are and confident who they are i guess i got the short straw what with
me the short straw absolutely not no you everything that i could have asked for and has anyone was it
a problem with anyone in your life i don't think so no one's had a problem with it no one said
anything i hope they would say anything obviously there are other things to think about in age gaps
whether the person wants to have a family they want to get married stuff like that is obviously
going to be a factor in moving forward but luckily i think we're in the same place and we have the
same thoughts on things you're a career-driven woman i'm career-driven obviously that's why
we're here overseas a lot podcasting yeah i didn't think i'd be here doing podcasting
in america i thought i was playing tennis your career is really thriving whatever pays the bills
yeah your career is thriving how much am i getting paid for this by the way i'll pay you later oh
thanks well obviously not in what you said because i've still got a mustache on my face
no more blowjobs wow we'll start to become like Laura and Matt sorry Maddie I would say the same
thing I would lie if I said it didn't ever bother me at the start it worried me a little bit because
I am an older woman I'm 34 now I know what comes with age and in things like obviously my main
thought was firstly he's not going to be ready for a relationship he's going to be really immature
secondly I thought I'm going to have to think about kids soon and whether I want to or not
and we've spoken about this on the fertility episode we unfortunately have time restraints
as women and we can do things like freezing our eggs which I obviously did I did that the day that
I met Jordan actually I'd given up on everything I'd given up hope and I was like I'm never going
to meet the right person I've just got to start to take control of my own life finally booked in
my appointment and I met Jordan that night so whether that was the universe saying you know
here I'll bide some time for a little bit or giving me some hope I don't know but kids is
definitely something you have to think about at the moment in all honesty we're in a bit of a
predicament because i don't have that long until i should start thinking about it like and when i
say that long a few years we are still years away but in jordan's head he's nowhere nowhere nowhere
near ready so that is definitely an area of contention it's definitely something that we
have to work through together i'm not ready to lose my sleep all my life yeah he's heard too
much about what happens with matt and laura too he's like nah look this is contraception at its
finest doesn't sound like heaven to me so yeah there are definitely things to think about
in that sense but i think if you meet the right person there's always going to be a compromise
and one of us is going to have to make a compromise at some point we're just not sure
in what capacity this was a good one what are your top three most annoying things about each
other oh my god where do i begin oh is the list that long you can guess what the first one is and
drives me fucking insane what oh i think you know what the toothpaste oh you are a toothpaste
menace it is a joke how bad you are with that it is not only in the sink when in massive chunks
it's on the bench it's on the mirror it's in the cabinets in the shower it's on the shower curtain
it's crusted all at the top because you you squeeze the shit out of it no you don't push
from the bottom you squeeze the top of it and it just crusts and it's all sticky and crap at the
top and oh sometimes i swear i was on the roof one day i do have a problem with the toothpaste
one thing that really really bothers me is i don't share food no you do not share food yes well that
bothers me jordan doesn't share food jordan speaks in the third person i'm like joey from friends
joey doesn't share food i don't share food we could have the same thing let's say a packet of
chips and they're both the same flavor and i'm sitting here and you're sitting there you will
put your chip packet down come sit next to me and eat my chips well i might do mine taste better
yes they're the exact same every woman knows that her partner's chips or her partner's food
tastes better even if they're exactly the same everyone knows that every dinner it's nearly
every meal or anything that i'm eating mine's better and you've got to have it okay so annoys
you and you know what it really annoys me that you don't share food either because i'm a sharer
i want to order some food i want to taste everything on the table sheridan and i have
traveled the world together we always order multiple dishes and we share everything i expect
the same in a relationship because i think if you don't share food in a relationship it speaks
volumes about the person you are in your life that's fair but how many times do you offer me
food all the time every single time yes and how often do i take it never irrelevant never never
take any even if you could shove it in my face trying to force it down my throat i won't eat it
Yeah, but it's the thought that counts.
And, like, I think you're on your own on this one.
I think everyone will agree.
Yeah, that's fair enough.
If I offer you my food, if I say, hey, cutie, do you want to taste mine?
I say no, of course, every time.
The response is, no, thank you.
Do you want to taste mine?
And it never comes.
Well, luckily, I'm not normal.
Okay, what's the third most annoying thing?
You're doing it right now.
You've been doing it the whole time.
You can never, ever sit still.
we could be watching a movie we could be sitting in the car you will not stop moving you'll be
tapping your leg scratching something or rubbing something ticking your legs over unbelievable i'm
a proper fidget i'm trying to watch a movie and my whole body's just moving i feel like i'm watching
it in 3d because my head's just moving everywhere yeah i'm trying to give you surround sound i'm
trying to give you all the feelings it's like an interactive experience with me you even get the
the massage gun and you'll sit on top of me so i'll start vibrating as well surely you can go
over there and do it yourself yeah it's called foreplay okay wow cool so heaps of stuff annoys
you what are you and what annoys me about you you're actually look you're actually not that
much of an annoying human if i'm being honest one thing that really drives me insane actually is how
literal you are you are the most literal person that i have ever met if jordan says what's the
time and it's 6 58 i say it's seven o'clock because i feel like most people would say that
with you know 120 seconds to go he will then look at his phone and if it's almost like a test now
if i haven't said to the minute what the time is he'll crack it he's like it's 6 58 and i'm like
yeah love that seven o'clock i'm not a simpleton let me explain why i'm like that it's because
in tennis you get an hour time slot at tournaments to practice so if you tell me what you do a lot
it could be 6 54 and i'll say and i'm waiting for my practice so other people are on the court
i'll say what's the time and you'll say it's on the hour it's seven o'clock then i walk on the
court i look like an idiot and i'm also robbing them of their practice time that's why it drives
me nuts that's great love but you don't have to crack it every other time in every other aspect
i'm just trying to train you my second most annoying thing is that you and it drives me
insane you don't like I mean besides the part where you don't want to share food with me at all
and you're very strict about that you don't like physical touch you don't like physical touch like
I do physical touch is my love language I want to be touching everyone all the time even my friends
I'll like reach out when I laugh and touch them or I'll give them a hug or there's always something
and with Jordan because I'm in love with him it's worse and the fact that I know we have limited
time together I am literally all over you all day I want to be cuddling you I want to spoon at night
i want to hold your hand and you hate it you'll take your hand out of my hand half the time you
make me sleep in a separate bed in the hotel room if there's two beds if we get to a hotel room and
there's two queen beds 100 i'm in the second bed because you're like i need to sleep but i won't
be touching anyone it drives me insane this is all made up queen size bed it's not a queen size bed
it's a double bed i can barely fit in it okay and there's there's my most annoying thing number one
you're so literal continue please continue i'm just trying to you know dot the eyes and cross
the teeth i just i just wish you would hold my hand more i wish you would i do hold your hand
no i wish you would the time i wish you would engage in the physical touch more and not just
give me i run over to you about five or six times a day and jump on you and hug you and you're still
complaining and the only thing that you're really complaining about is because when i go to sleep i
hate to be touched because i can't fall asleep that's the only time i don't touch you and you
know it because you're smiling and smirking and laughing now okay most annoying thing number three
i mean actually now that i'm on a roll there are a few things that annoy me but number three keep
going by all means number three is it doesn't matter if i'm right if i have presented facts
to you if i have laid it out if i've shown you a documentary if it's literally science
you will never ever ever admit that i am right never even if it's two plus two and i say four
you would fight me tooth and nail you will never let me be right no that is right why can't i be
oh now you're just doing it to please everyone you always two plus two is four why would i argue
that jordan you're very different on social media to britney you seem shy scared of the camera you
never post anything you never post britney why don't you ever post britney why don't you ever
post britney why don't you oh sorry did i say that three times no talk to us about your different
views on social media obviously i use social media for a business and i'm happy to share that aspect
of my life you know that i talk very openly on the podcast there's still a lot about jordan that
i don't share i think a lot of people think i do share a lot honestly i don't but i don't know i
fell head over heels in love and i wanted to let everyone know and i'm so proud of jordan that
every single thing he does i put it up on my instagram because i'm proud of him and i want
to tell everyone how good he is and what he does and what he succeeds in and he looks like jack
from this is us and i love jack i think that's pretty unfair that i don't host britney i don't
post britney i don't post britney how many times you said three i don't even post myself and i
barely have any posts up on my instagram and i only really use it to watch sports highlights
seinfeld clips stuff that i find funny and that's really the only reason i use it but my relationships
in the past i have never put an ex-girlfriend up on my i don't even know what you call it is it
your page or a post whatever page i've put them on stories but it's never actually been on a post
and you have been more than two or three times so you're winning by leaps and bounds but why
is the question people want to know why don't you post your public profile what don't you like about
using social media especially for when you're playing tennis and things like that i don't feel
the need to post my life online yeah i'm pretty low-key i don't like the camera if we weren't
going out I'd have 10 photos on my phone because I just never ever get my camera out you know I
just don't think the world needs to know what I'm up to so I just don't feel the need to post and
I don't really like it you don't mind when I post you though do you no you can do whatever you want
I mean that's that's your page that's your platform but when people expect me to you know
be a little bit more proactive on Instagram I think that's unfair because it's my decision
do you ever get embarrassed by me that was another one that came in because I can't look let's be
really like me pretty embarrassing but I don't really get embarrassed I don't feel embarrassment
like most people do well funnily enough when I asked you out to dinner on the first day you said
only if we can play tennis and then you proceeded to send a photo of yourself with the worst tennis
racket I've ever seen in the world's worst tennis get up I've ever seen and I was thinking wow and
you probably thought I was serious too did you I have no idea I'd never met you and as I take
things so literally you thought i was what the hell is this so do you get embarrassed by me or
not uh you show me a video of yourself playing handball or doing parkour and i was like wow how
do people think you're cool you are the biggest loser biggest one is to finish off long distance
relationships we had so many people writing in about long distance relationships on how to go
about it how to navigate it what are the best things that you can do how to keep the spark
alive especially with the climate for today COVID is keeping a lot of people apart where they
shouldn't be in long-distance relationships but they are because of the borders etc what are your
tips for long distance and I guess how do people keep the love alive if you're not going to see
each other for such a long time well the only thing you've got in long-distance relationships
is communication so your communication needs to be on point you need to be really diligent with it
it's the only time you're actually going to see your partner is on FaceTime so I would suggest
making an effort or a certain time to FaceTime depending on the time difference hopefully it's
not in another country otherwise that really makes it makes it so hard it makes it so hard
if you're in another state that's a lot easier because you always got your phone and it's the
same time but if one person's in Australia and the other person's in America like Britt and I
usually are it's a nightmare absolute nightmare also because when I start my day I give myself
limited time because I need to make it to the tennis court at a certain time it's usually in
the morning so I wake up go straight to breakfast go straight to the gym and start warming up and
I haven't really got time for a phone call I really only got time for like messaging but I'm
not even on my phone I'm like brushing my teeth getting in the car driving going straight to
practice I haven't got time to text either and when I do it's sporadically yeah we face I mean
communication is key we say that all the time we text sporadically in the day we try and FaceTime
at least once a day. I think the FaceTime part's really important. I think you need to be able to
see each other on FaceTime, visualize, be able to laugh, see each other's expressions because
texting and things like that, talking on the phone, things can be taken the wrong way as well.
And it's just more personal when you get to see each other. Obviously, I mean, you can have little
date nights too. Jordan and I will have meals together. I'll take him down to Bondi Beach so
he can sit at the beach. He'll take me to Paris when he's there, to the Eiffel Tower. Super,
super cute but other than that i mean that's literally all you've got besides that and some
serious sexting you don't have much else wow wow you want to talk about some sexting no definitely
how to make jordan uncomfortable 101 talk about sex very uncomfortable right now but guys i think
that is it i i don't know how that podcast was it's not going to be for everyone let's just
reiterate again that we are not a podcasting couple jordan and i jordan this is your first
ever podcast am i correct correct it could be one and done what did you think of that you hated it
no i didn't hate it i know i struggle in these kind of things but hopefully you guys
love the episode definitely not going to be for everyone and i'm shook that you guys wanted me on
here hopefully i did good well good yeah you guys have been wanting this for a very very long time
and jordan very kindly agreed to come on the podcast even though he he absolutely didn't want
to and that's not because he didn't want to do the podcast it's just because he really hates and
he feels uncomfortable when he's in front of the microphone so thank you for doing this it's
definitely not for everybody hopefully you get to know Jordan a little bit more hopefully you get to
see what I love about Jordan and a little bit more into my life I guess because it is such a huge
part of my life now and I feel like with Laura you guys know Matty J he's on the podcast all the time
he's in the he's in the industry he's in the entertainment industry he's everywhere and we
love may jane you know that he's a big part but i guess everyone wanted to feel like they knew you
