Host 1
So without further ado, let's introduce your farmers.
- [03:17]
Natalie
All right. Well, our first farmer is farmer Brett. He is 35 years old. He is from Savannah, Tennessee. He lives on a thousand acre farm, family owned. He's a southern boy. Brett grew up on the family farm and rode bulls to impress the ladies until a few broken bones convinced him to trade rodeo for the boardroom. He built and sold a successful protein bar business. And now he's headed home to launch his own cattle operation. A family man at heart, Brett's ready to start a new chapter. This time, it's about love, legacy, and building a life with the woman of his dreams.
- [03:51]
Host 1
Brett kind of sounds like he has some money.
- [03:53]
Natalie
I mean, he sold his. His protein bar. Protein bar business, so.

Host 2
You excited, Brett?

Brett
Yeah, buddy. Always.

Host 2
I imagine this whole experience has been quite different than anything you've ever done before.
- [04:14]
Brett
A little bit, yeah. A little bit, yeah.
- [04:16]
Braden
I mean, it's.
- [04:17]
Brett
It was a lot of fun. You know, I really just kind of went into it with no expectations on anything and just letting it come as it comes and ended up being really cool.
- [04:26]
Sean
Yeah.
- [04:26]
Host 2
Well, we are excited to get to know you along with the rest of your farmers.
- [04:30]
Natalie
Next up, we have farmer Braden. He is 26 from Homer, Illinois. Lives on a 3,000 acre farm. Braden is a fifth generation corn and soybean farmer who grew up balancing football games with farm chores. When he's not in the fields, you'll find him with his guitar performing at his local bars. His ideal match is down to earth. Kind hearted women with a big personality and great sense of humor. She'd be driven to work hard for her dreams. Loves a fun Saturday night out, but is still up for church on Sunday. Braden's fairytale ending is marriage and starting a family on the farm his grandfather built. Beautiful.

- [06:09]
Sean
Thank you.
- [06:10]
Brett
Appreciate it, man.
- [06:10]
Host 2
I guess I just got to know, like, how did you guys. I mean, the show. We're in season four. We've had three successful seasons. What was your familiarity with this show prior to getting the call if that's how it all went down?
- [06:23]
Brett
I'd heard of the show, never watched it.
- [06:26]
Braden
Okay.
- [06:26]
Brett
Never seen it before. So I didn't have any familiarity with it. Like, I mean, it was more just. I just knew what it was. One of my rodeo buddies was on the first season, weirdly enough, and I, like, happened to see it on TV at a bar one night. And so that was about as much as I had from it.
- [06:42]
Host 2
Okay.
- [06:42]
Natalie
And how is his relationship today?
- [06:44]
Brett
Couldn't tell you.
- [06:45]
Braden
Okay.
- [06:47]
Natalie
I'm like, did it work?
- [06:48]
Brett
I don't think so.
- [06:49]
Braden
Okay.
- [06:49]
Natalie
Okay.
- [06:50]
Brett
So that was just like the testing grounds.
- [06:52]
Sean
Gotcha.
- [06:53]
Brett
But, you know, that's the only thing I knew of the show coming into it.
- [06:56]
Natalie
Okay. Braden, what about you?
- [06:58]
Braden
Mine was pretty similar. I obviously, like, heard of it, knew nothing about it, and got a Instagram DM one day. I thought it was fake originally, and I was just like, showed a couple of my buddies. I was like, this is funny, you know, like, they're like, you gonna do it? And I was like, I don't know if that's me. And they're like, just take a phone call. And a phone call led to a zoom. Zoom led to another thing. And I was like, all right, let's do it.
- [07:24]
Natalie
Now you're live.
- [07:25]
Brett
Yeah.
- [07:27]
Braden
Now here we are.
- [07:28]
Natalie
Now you're married.
- [07:29]
Braden
Perfect. All right.
- [07:31]
Sean
Sean, how about you, Sean? I'm kind of in the same boat. I had never heard of the show whatsoever before going on, and I got reached out to on Instagram one Day through a dm and I thought it was a scam as well. So I was like, show. My parents was like, look at this like scam message. And they're like, oh, that's crazy. Ended up getting on a phone call that lasted like three hours and they were like, there's 40,000 applicants that want to come on this show and they want to come meet you. And I was like, this is crazy. And I was kind of like questioning it in the beginning stages. And then I was just like kind of looking around like, I'm only going to be in my 20s once, why not do it? And I'm so glad I did. Looking back now, it was like the best thing I've ever done in my life. So much fun.
- [08:07]
Brett
I said the same thing, but I'm only in my 30s once.
- [08:12]
Natalie
What was yalls like family's reaction?
- [08:16]
Sean
They definitely were mixed in the beginning, at least in my shoes. My parents were kind of just like, well like, farmer wants a wife. You're only 22, like you're gonna be going on a show with like a bunch of 30 year old women, you're gonna get married to them. I'm like.
- [08:31]
Braden
No. My parents definitely along with me had some reservations. Like I, I was like, I gotta hear this out all the way through before agreeing to do it. But yeah, just little by little, just kind of. I started running out of reasons not to do it and I was just like, you know, and same with what you're saying. I was just like, you know, you're young once, like why not? And yeah, glad I did it. So. But there was definitely some reservations at first.
- [08:58]
Brett
Yeah, no, I mean my parents, I mean I've done kind of random things throughout my 20s, but my parents were just like, well, I guess it's another thing he's doing.
- [09:07]
Braden
So it's another crazy thing.
- [09:09]
Brett
Yeah, it's like I'm not really going to my parents. What do you think about this? But yeah, when I told him I was, I mean I, you know, I, I'm the type where it's like, if I've got a cool opportunity that has like an upside to it, I just do it. You never know what can come out of things. So it's kind of how it was for me.
- [09:25]
Host 1
Well, this episode is all about getting.
- [09:26]
Host 2
To know the three of you. And when you guys are leading the show, obviously the idea is that you guys are busy being farmers, tending your farms and it's not so easy for anyone to find love these days. But certainly when you guys are, you Know, taking over thousands of acres and, and doing the work, it's. It's harder for oppose farmers to find love. But I am curious to get to know a little bit about each of the three of you and specifically, what has your love lives been leading up to this opportunity and why specifically, other than just being exciting and cool opportunity, why are you guys in the position that you are looking for love? As someone who knows what it's like to be in this world and do it, it's not for the faint of heart. And I am just curious a little bit, I guess, you know, what has your relationships and love lives been that have brought you to this opportunity?
- [10:18]
Brett
Yeah, I mean, you know, for me, I mean, and as y' all know, it's like once you get to a certain point, you know, through relationships, you kind of know what you're looking for.
- [10:28]
Braden
Yeah.
- [10:29]
Brett
And you set sort of a standard for what that's supposed to look like. And if it doesn't reach that standard, it's, you know, there's no harm, no foul in it. It's just not right. So, you know, for me, it was more so of, you know, if it, if it didn't feel right, then I didn't, like, prolong it or entertain it past a certain point. Because if. I mean, I'm 35. So, like, when you're at that age, you kind of know what you're, what you're wanting and like, what you deserve in a relationship. Right. And vice versa, what you can give. For me, like dating up until this point, it's like I'm looking for the right one, not just someone. And I, you know, dated plenty of women, but, you know, there hadn't been that one. So, you know, going on something like this, a show where you're meeting people that you would never meet in any other circumstance, you never meet them in another lifetime. It just gives you an opportunity to actually find someone and you're thrown into a situation where you've got to be with them and only with them. You know, no phone, no tv, nothing like that. And that was really appealing to me. It's like being back in the 90s or early 2000s, before social media. It's like you just had to be with that person. So I was really excited about that. And, you know, it turns out that it was a really great decision, the way that it played out.
- [11:46]
Braden
Yeah, I mean, I couldn't really see it better than that. You know, it's pretty similar. You know, dated a little bit, but I always kind of had, like, Again, that standard. And then I just always had the thought process, like, getting older, just like, if I don't see myself, like marrying this person, like, why am I dating them? You know what I mean? So, you know, I've always been kind of picky and just never really wanted to sell too much. But yeah, like, dated some girls, you learn a lot. And then going through this process, you know, again, I had some reservations just because, sure, you know, it's a crazy world. You're like diving right into it and. But yeah, it ended up being a really great decision and kind of piggyback off what you're saying is it. I was kind of blown away by how like, real it became because I was kind of going on to it, not really having too many expectations, just kind of going it. Open mind, open heart, and just kind of went in. I was like, oh boy, you know what I mean? And. But it is kind of like a sped up process. Obviously, like you're speed dating these girls, but it forced you to have these like, conversations that wouldn't come until like a few months in of like dating them in the real world, you know, I mean, so like, you kind of didn't have time to beat around the bush. And that's something I really liked about it. You're kind of like, hey, this is me. This is you. Take it or leave it.
- [13:05]
Natalie
How big of a town is Homer?
- [13:07]
Braden
Not big.
- [13:08]
Natalie
Not big.
- [13:08]
Braden
Not big. Yeah, it's. It's just a map dot, so. But I'm not originally from there. A lot of my family is from there in our farms there. But I grew up in a another small town, like right by, so. But they're all small towns, so.
- [13:22]
Brett
Yeah.
- [13:23]
Natalie
What about you, Sean?
- [13:24]
Sean
Well, although I am 22 years old, I'm on the younger side of this show at least. I definitely am kind of more of like an old soul and more traditional. So I am looking to like settle down and get married relatively soon here. And I think it's pretty like for at least for my age bracket. I think a lot of people in their young 20s, they just kind of want to have fun sometimes or like, at least want to get into serious relationships.
- [13:45]
Braden
For.
- [13:46]
Sean
For me, I'm really looking for the one. And I think this show was a perfect opportunity to do that because when they originally reached out to me, they were like, what are you looking for in a woman? What are the qualities you want to see? And we went down the list of everything that I wanted, and they did such a good job at finding those girls and I really just couldn't be happier with the outcome. Like, it was such an amazing experience. And I'm like, same thing as you guys said. I think as you date people in your life, you understand what you're looking for. And I think at this period of my life, it came at the perfect time because I knew what I was looking for and I found it.
- [14:17]
Host 1
So has it been difficult?
- [14:18]
Host 2
I mean, prior to this opportunity? I mean, I guess. What is dating like for you guys? I mean, you're assuming all from relatively small towns. I'm guessing it's not like, you know, living in a city where you're. There's always an event or a bar or, you know, hell, there's often like dating, like, events for people in big cities. So is it. Is it. I'm assuming, is it.
- [14:39]
Host 1
Is it pretty sparse out there in.
- [14:41]
Host 2
Terms of, like, were you guys dating online? Like, what was it like for you guys?
- [14:45]
Braden
And.
- [14:45]
Host 2
And what did that look like?
- [14:47]
Brett
I mean, I grew up in a small town. A lot of, like, for me you can do the dating apps and stuff like that, and you just kind of. You really. I'm gonna strike out, I guess, is a good term for it. Like, it just seems like it's not really the best way. Like, I know people find great relationships out of that, but for me, it just never was. And like, I'll go to events and stuff like that. But you kind of. For me, like, all of my buddies are married, you know, like, so most people that I'm around are married people. And it is hard today, I feel like, more. More so than ever to like, actually find, like a genuine person, you know, someone that's not just chasing the next best thing or, you know, that somebody that's actually looking for, you know, qualities that you have and that you can offer and they love you for who you are. It's tough in that sense. But you know, also being in like, smaller towns and stuff like that, like, you don't have any options. But for me, it was more so of just like, you know, like, I haven't found that that person that I. That I'm, like, in love with or like, you know, that's my one and done type thing. So going on, this was the opportunity that I think that I was looking for. And like I said, it's a. It's a chance that you can find somebody that you don't get to meet. That's kind of what it was for me was like, kind of getting out of. Outside of like, you know, my hometown, just to See, you know what I could find outside of that.
- [16:12]
Braden
Yeah, I mean, the same thing with like the apps. That was never a huge thing for me. It just, it was a dead end road, I feel like all the time, just like. But again, I never really gave it a shot, I guess, but. But yeah, growing up in a small town, like, you know everybody, like I know everybody in my town and it's kind of gets down to like, oh, you know, like the good ones moved.
- [16:35]
Host 2
Away or like almost like, hey, well, I guess we have to get married now. There's Jenny down the street. She's kind of your age.
- [16:46]
Host 1
Our parents are friends.
- [16:47]
Brett
Yeah, yeah, she's got married three times, four times a child.
- [16:51]
Braden
But that happens a lot. Like people, I know a lot of people and it like, a lot of times it works out and it's great, like high school sweethearts and then. But sometimes it gets to a point where they're just like, oh, well, we've been dating for eight years now, I guess. Guess get married now. It's the next thing to do. And I was always different there because I was just like, I wanted to be somebody who like, like you said, one and done. Like, I'm just like crazy about this person. And so that's like you kind of go on this process and you're just like, I mean it is like build wife to a certain extent, which was pretty uncomfortable and blown away at first. But like, you know, they do do a really good job with like the matchmaking. And like I said, you don't beat around the bush. Like, you're just like, hey, this is me. And you know, I was fortunate enough. I felt like, you know, my journey on this was everybody was pretty honest and real and I didn't really know how to be anything else. So it did work out for me. But yeah, it's very. The dating pool in a small town is very, very slim. Very small. So.
- [17:52]
Sean
Yeah, well, I actually grew up on a small town in Hawaii on the island Maui. And I was really young back then. And then I moved to Orange county when I was getting like 10 or 12 years old. We were doing the transition. And then When I was 15, my family bought our farm in Santa Barbara County. So I kind of like lived in like kind of more like city areas and more like farm town areas. So I have dated around in different areas. So I've had kind of like different experiences of it. But I would say when I was younger I definitely kind of got a taste of like dating in like a city. And I again, Like, I just really figured out that I'm looking for more of, like, a traditional woman. And I think it's kind of hard to find that nowadays, especially in California and, like, an Orange county area. And then I got up to, like, Santa Barbara county, and there's definitely not a lot of people out there. Like, I mean, there is people out there, but, I mean, I gave dating apps a shot, and I have some friends that have met some really good people through dating apps, and they've had successful relationships through it. But still, again, like, I just didn't find any, like, keepers through that. And I just. Before the show, I was single for, like, about a year, and I would just kind of say to myself, like, I'm just gonna wait and hold out till I find the one. And through the show, I think it was just, like, the perfect timing for me to have that opportunity come into my life to find that girl I've been looking for for such a long time.
- [19:12]
Natalie
Are y' all allowed to say that y' all are in love, you're married, you're taken, you're.
- [19:18]
Host 2
Or did it work out? Like, let's go ahead and say, sure.
- [19:21]
Sean
Yeah, I think we.
- [19:22]
Brett
I think we say it worked out.
- [19:23]
Braden
Yeah, it worked out okay.
- [19:25]
Brett
Yeah.
- [19:26]
Braden
All right.
- [19:26]
Brett
I think it worked out for us.
- [19:29]
Braden
We're excited to find out on Fox the next day.
- [19:34]
Host 2
A big premise of the show is. It's. Is the idea that you guys are living these fairly atypical lives. You know, the idea of, you know, almost farmer seems like almost like an ancient job that, like, you know, everyone used to have. But, like, it's like, oh, shit, you know, that's still a lifestyle exists. Quite honestly, as we talked about before I introduce you guys, you guys are the salt of the earth. You're feeding America, putting food on our tables.
- [20:02]
Braden
I use that term a lot.
- [20:05]
Host 1
But it's. It's, you know, it's a lifestyle that.
- [20:07]
Host 2
I imagine many of the women who showed up weren't necessarily used to or even prior to this opportunity. I imagine when you guys were out there dating, maybe meeting some women on apps or just out and about, when they found out that, like, what you did for work or what your lifestyle was, it brought some complications. So, like, I'm curious, what has that been like, leading up into this opportunity when you would say, hey, well, this is what I do for a living, and this is what a life looks like with me?
- [20:36]
Brett
Yeah, I mean, I think Braden's got a. The better, you know, answer for that one. Just because Braden is, like, an actual crop farmer. That boy provides the corn for the country. You know, like, it's. We're a little bit different. Like, you know, I grew up mostly with cattle and horses and stuff like that, and, you know, still do stuff with horses today. And it is kind of funny because it's like, you do have girls that are coming into this particular show where it's like, they see the movies or they read the books, and they're like, I want that lifestyle. And it's like, get there, and it's like, you don't want this lifestyle, you know, like, it's new. Yeah, right, right. And. But. And you have girls also that. That come on. Where it's like, they've been around, like, for me, like, horses or cattle or whatever, and they're, you know, somewhat used to it. But not everybody understands, like, what actually goes into that sort of stuff where it is, like, where you're getting up early. Like, if you got cattle during calving season, like, you're working. Like, it's not. It's not like, you know, rainbows and unicorns, like everybody thinks it is. But I will say this, like, for mine, and I'm sure it's the same for y'. All. Like, the girls that. That I had, most of them, they were very open to, like, doing these things and, like, actually, like, putting in the type of work that you have to put in, which is really cool to see. So for me, I thought it was, like, overall a really cool experience. And, like, you get to show people, you know, stuff that you love and stuff that you grew up doing and, you know, and things that you want to continue to do in the future? And if you're not on board with that, then it's not.
- [22:11]
Natalie
Have those been deal breakers before of, like, bringing a girl home and then trying to show her kind of your lifestyle and her being like, I don't know. I don't want to. That's. That's hard or that's dirty or that's. Is that a deal breaker or is.

Braden
That kind of like, yeah, it will have to be, right? Like, a lot what you said is like, you know, it's kind of like. I don't know who said it. The fairy tale. Like, you know, everybody thinks they want a farmer because they're like, oh, country boy farmer. You know, it's appealing. Then you get down to it, and then it's just like, hey, like, there's, you know, you're working a lot. Like, there's, you know, and it's up and down and, but that was another big reason for me kind of going through this is like, you know, it's also an opportunity to really show a side of the world that a lot of people aren't familiar with. Like, a lot of people don't understand everything that goes into farming. And, like, there's a ton of stuff in it. I mean, you got to be. You got to be a mechanic, you got to be a businessman, you got to be an accountant. Like, you got to be an agronomist. I mean, you got to be all these things. And, like, it really. There's, like, a lot that goes into it, and it can be a very stressful job just because mother Nature's your boss. But, yeah, for me, like, that has been a deal breaker because, like, you know, it's a family farm. And, like, it started with, you know, I'm a fifth generation, so, like, it's such a family thing, like, and the cliche thing is it's not your career, it's your lifestyle. It really is like, a lifestyle, and it's something like, it's impossible to do if you don't love it. So you gotta love it. And so being with somebody who, like, doesn't love it, it's. It's really difficult. So for me, just in my past, like, yeah, it's been tough because it's like, hey, like, I can't move. You know, I'm like, this is like, this farm's me, you know? So if you don't. It's hard to think you love me if you don't love the farm because it's such a.
- [24:06]
Host 2
Like, yeah, well, we can live here for five years.
- [24:13]
Braden
A lot of people have told me they're like, oh, well, like, corn grows in this state. And I'm like, yeah, it doesn't really work that way. I can't really pick it all up. Yeah, but. But no, it was good to just kind of. And, you know, hopefully you all see that too on the show is just kind of like, you'll be like, wow, I didn't understand, like, what goes all in that, like, you know, the cornwar farming isn't just like, corn on the cobbler, you know, I mean, like, like, we haul a lot to Frito Lay, which makes Dorito chips. Like, that's where a lot of our corn goes. And the girls were, like, really impressed with that. So, yeah, next time you eat a bag of Doritos, we know where it's.
- [24:54]
Host 2
Coming from, you know, to thank.
- [24:57]
Braden
Yeah. But no, it was. It was a good, good thing, and, you know, we had a lot of fun, so.
- [25:02]
Natalie
And as Sean is yours, is it kind of the same? I know you're farm to table, it's similar.
- [25:06]
Sean
So I would say I'm more focused on, like, the business and sourcing part. So we have an orchard on our property and we grow produce on our property, but we also source all of our ingredients within a 50 mile radius of our restaurant. We serve, like, a lot of fish products, but, like, our menu at the restaurant is very seasonal, so it all is, like, changed up every week or month, and that's what we really focus on. But I would say, for sure, like, we. I mean, on my farm, we still have, like, cattle and horses and alpacas and goats and chickens and all kinds of farm animals. And I think I can confidently say, like, everyone did all the farm work with a big smile on their face and there really wasn't any issues or, like, in terms of, like, anyone complaining, like, honestly, everyone had so much fun doing the farm work, so.
- [25:48]
Host 2
And now I know you mentioned that was a big part for you. Like, hey, you know, fifth. We see a fifth generation. But I'm curious for both of you, was your partner's participation in, like, the work and waking up and really embracing it just as significant as it was to you, or is it more like, you know, as long as she's this kind of, like, supportive, happy to be here and supportive of what I'm doing, she can, you know. Or is it like, is that not really an option with. With your guys's lifestyle?
- [26:16]
Sean
I would say I'm looking for a girl that's, like, not afraid to get her hands dirty. Like, I would want a girl that, like, wants to be adventurous with me and, like, wants to put in some hard work. But I mean, I also appreciate, like, a feminine woman that wants to get dressed up and go out to, like, a nice dinner. So kind of like the mix of like, best of both worlds. So that's what I'm looking for.
- [26:32]
Brett
Yeah. I mean, Bray. Yeah. Braden's like, this is life, right? You know, for me, like, I own two separate companies, Tequila company and Protein Bar company. So, like, what I do is more so of like, like, we have horses and stuff. And if you think that, like, to what you're asking, like, is it a turn off kind of. Yeah. If you don't want to, like, go out there and like, actually do this stuff, but you want to own the things and then it's just me doing all the stuff, like, that's cool. But it's not like the ideal situation.
- [27:05]
Host 2
That's not like having a partner.
- [27:07]
Brett
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like if you've got somebody that wants to go out there and like, if they don't know anything about it, they want to learn about how to do it and they, they want to be a part of it just as much as you are, then that's kind of what your, your hopes are. Because like you said, it's not always like, it's not glamorous. I mean, it can be. But you know, when you're going out there and you, you know, you've got a. If you got horses, for example, and you've got to have them, I mean, chew them or, you know, bathe them, feed them, all those things, exercise them. Like, you need somebody that can actually go out and do those things rather than just like, I want the horses or I want mini highland cows or, you know, chickens or goats or whatever.
- [27:46]
Natalie
My sister owns a 400 acre animal farm and I lived with her for two years out of high school and college. And she was like, if you're going to live with me, like you got to. Her husband's a doctor, so he doesn't help, you know, so she's like, you gotta, you gotta work, you gotta work. And it was. Yeah, it was a lot. It was. You think it's like, oh, this is so fun, all these animals. And then it's like, no, you need to go milk that cow. You gotta chase that cow in that pasture, bring it up here.
- [28:12]
Brett
And they're not, and it's not easy. No, like they're stubborn. Like it sucks sometimes.
- [28:17]
Braden
And I'll disclaim something here, like with what you were talking about, like with a ranch style farm, like where you got cattle and like animals and stuff, there is a lot of like chores and stuff for what I do. Like, a lot of people are surprised. They'll ask me a question about a cow and I'm like, I don't know the first thing. And they're like, what kind of farmer doesn't know about a cow? I'm like, one that doesn't have any.
- [28:40]
Natalie
But seasonal is like your, your job. So are you out there every day?
- [28:45]
Braden
I mean like, regardless, like, there's always something to do. But like spring and fall, that's like, especially fall. Like that's when we're harvesting. Those are like, eat, sleep, farm, you know what I mean? And I also sell seed for a seed company. So basically I'm a seed rep for a big seed company. Like we get Supplied seed to plant and we sell to other farmers. So we do that. So we're busy when we're not busy. But, like, kind of what I was talking about, like, yeah, I want somebody who's, like, supportive of that life. I'm not asking, like, some girl to be, like, you know, come hop in the tractor and, like, work this 80. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not looking. Yeah. I'm not looking for that. Like, I'm not working. Looking for a co worker. Biggest thing is, like, I'm looking for someone who can support that life because, like, like I said, there. There can be some stressful days where, you know, you come home and something broke or it rained and you can't get done what you want to get done. And my dad always has this old saying, the checks out in the field and you gotta go grab it or else it'll blow away.
- [29:47]
Sean
Yeah.
- [29:48]
Braden
You know what I mean? So, like, old farmer talk there. But, like, that's kind of what I look for, is just someone to lean on. And again, not. I'm not looking for a co worker. Just someone. Yeah. Can lean on.
- [30:00]
Natalie
Well, we hear this season has a couple of twists that there typically has not been. We are allowed to tease a few. One being that y' all pick the five women to come back to the farm with you, but then you have the option to accept the one that your family chose for you. Is that right?
- [30:23]
Brett
Yeah, that's. So that's later down the road. Yeah. They pick a girl, and we get introduced to them, like, kind of midway through.
- [30:32]
Host 2
All right.
- [30:33]
Braden
Okay.
- [30:33]
Brett
So it.
- [30:34]
Natalie
Was it an original cast pick, or was it, like a random they just worked with?
- [30:39]
Braden
We had no idea.
- [30:41]
Brett
We have random.
- [30:42]
Natalie
Okay. Wow.
- [30:43]
Brett
So, like, I mean, I don't. It's hard to, you know, try to tease it as much as you can, but essentially, we had no idea it was coming when it came.
- [30:51]
Natalie
Okay.
- [30:51]
Brett
We kind of had an idea that it was going to happen, but we had no idea when it was happening or who it was going to be or anything like that. So, you know, the typical bombshell type scenario.
- [31:02]
Natalie
Okay. Wow.
- [31:03]
Host 2
Another thing we heard is that one of the ladies jumped ship.
- [31:07]
Brett
Yeah. So to speak. Yeah.
- [31:10]
Host 2
Did you guys anticipate having to feel like you guys were competing with one another or did at any point?
- [31:16]
Braden
No. I mean, like, we all were pretty quick buddies.
- [31:21]
Sean
We got along.
- [31:22]
Brett
Yeah.
- [31:22]
Braden
Like.
- [31:23]
Brett
Yeah.
- [31:23]
Braden
And I remember when that.
- [31:25]
Brett
Remember that. When that happened, though, it was like.
- [31:27]
Braden
A surprise for us.
- [31:29]
Brett
Like, we. You know, you go through the speed dating, like, at the very beginning. And then it's like, you have your set of girl. Everybody has their set of girls. And so, you know, when that happened, we were all just like, what is happening? What's going on right now?
- [31:42]
Natalie
Can you even do that?
- [31:44]
Brett
Can we switch? I loved all my girls.
- [31:49]
Braden
Sorry, guys.
- [31:50]
Brett
But no, but it was. I mean, it was as shocking to us as it was for anybody, because I don't think anybody knew it was coming.
- [31:57]
Braden
And you don't know how to, like, react to. Yeah, like that. You're just kind of like, yeah, because I don't. Like, again, like, are you allowed to do this? Like, well, how are we supposed to react to this?
- [32:05]
Brett
I don't think anybody else knew what was going on. Like, I think it just happened.
- [32:09]
Host 2
Yeah.
- [32:09]
Brett
It wasn't like a planned thing where they were like, we're gonna, you know, we're gonna throw some, throw some curveballs in.
- [32:16]
Host 2
I'm excited to see how that unfolds. You guys will obviously, unfortunately. Well, fortunately, maybe for the viewers, because we all love the drama, but unfortunately, you guys, part of this process is breaking some hearts. You know, you're not. You might be dating five to six women, but you're only gonna end up with one. And I am curious knowing. Knowing that. Have any of you experienced your own heartbreak leading up to this experience?
- [32:41]
Brett
Oh, yeah, all the time. No, I mean, yeah, I mean, it's just part of life. I mean, we got. We've all gone through that. We. I mean, we've talked about that a lot, even on the show. I mean, that question gets brought up constantly, you know, but yeah, I mean, of course you have. Like, for me, at least, like, I mean, I've loved girls and, you know, you had a few where you thought they were the one and they're not.
- [33:04]
Host 2
And what was your longest relationship prior to this experience?
- [33:08]
Brett
Two years. Two years somewhere around there.
- [33:09]
Host 2
How about you, Brian?
- [33:10]
Braden
Yeah, mine was about half a year. Honestly, not that long again. Like I said, I was always kind of like, if I really don't see this, you know. But yeah, for me, two years.
- [33:22]
Sean
I've always like, kind of had the mindset of like dating to marry, even when I was younger. But yeah, I've always been looking for, like, long term relationships. Nothing short term. But yeah, I think I have dated in the past though, where it has been a short term thing, but it's been more of like, I realized that she wasn't the one. So I'm just like, I don't want to waste my time.
- [33:39]
Host 2
Okay, well, let's Have a little bit of fun here. I am curious about what your guys types are. I know obviously we've talked at length about her interest and ability to be supportive of a lifestyle and the grittiness and dirtiness of being a farmer. But is just your average guys. I am curious like what are some of your. You know, because I'm. It sounds like in the casting process you guys were fairly involved working with producers about like the interest you have and, and the type of women you're looking to date.
- [34:11]
Sean
For me, they, they. It was kind of like a long zoom call and they were just kind of going through the list of like, all right, what are you looking for in your future wife? And all these qualities, like even physical attributes and everything.
- [34:21]
Host 2
And I would love to.
- [34:23]
Braden
It's kind of weird though, like, how.
- [34:27]
Sean
Did you to your wife. It was kind of.
- [34:32]
Host 2
A show of hands. Blondes or brunettes?
- [34:35]
Sean
I said either or.
- [34:36]
Brett
For me, honestly, I've dated redheads. I've dated blondes, dated brunette. Like, let's see, I had two brunettes and three blondes. Okay, so it was funny. Like the brunettes were like, he's in the blind. Like, you know, it's not us because he's in the blind. Like something like that. But I mean, I was pretty clear about. It's like, Ted, I don't care. Just if I get along with you, I get along with you. Like obviously if I've got to be attracted to you. But it's more so of, you know, who you are as a person, personality. Like if I'd hang out with you, that's all I care. That's all that matters.
- [35:09]
Braden
Yeah, I mean, I know the cop out question is, you know, I don't have a type, you know, but like hair color. Yeah, kind like just like, yeah, somebody like being around. I mean like if you could be the prettiest girl on earth and like if you have nothing to talk about, it's just kind of like, that's kind of brutal for me.
- [35:32]
Natalie
Was that hard in the beginning of this show? Obviously, I'm sure everyone is nervous. There's like some awkwardness. Did you kind of judge those first conversations? Are we all like, you know what, Let me give them the benefit of the doubt because this is an awkward situation.
- [35:47]
Sean
And I think in the very beginning, I think we were all. I remember we all met up and they were like, are you guys nervous? And we're all looking around like, no. And they're like, come on guys, like, act like you're nervous.
- [35:58]
Braden
We even said that before this I was like, they're like, are you guys nervous before this? And I'm like, not. I mean, like, it's such a surreal thing and crazy thing we're doing where I don't think any of us really would have wasn't on the bingo card.
- [36:14]
Natalie
It's not something you, like, always dreamed of happening.
- [36:17]
Braden
Yeah.
- [36:17]
Natalie
You're like, wow, I've always wanted.
- [36:19]
Braden
It's hard to, like, be nervous about it, which I don't know if that sounds dumb.
- [36:23]
Sean
I think it's just like, for me, at least, like, I really wasn't nervous at all until we got like introduced, like, into the barn where we first got, like, called out. And, like, I was fine. And then I like, look around the corner and I see like 50 cameras and all these lights. And I'm like, kind of just like had this, like, realization moment, like, almost like a deer in headlights. And I was like, how the hell.
- [36:40]
Braden
Did I get all the girls?
- [36:41]
Natalie
What am I doing?
- [36:42]
Sean
And I just like, almost like blacked out to myself. Remember, the producers were like, sean, you're about to walk in, like, are you ready? And I'm just kind of sitting there like, like, what's happening right now? And then I walked in and like, after I met all the girls, I was fine. But it was just like that first shock moment. I was just like, I am not used to this at all.
- [36:57]
Braden
We were sitting outside the barn and they were like, just screaming like several times. I think they were telling. I don't know. We're like sitting out there just talking, shooting the shit. And then like, we just hear screaming coming from the barn and we're like, oh, boy.
- [37:15]
Natalie
Almost every American has some sort of relationship with traditional soda from their childhood. Olipop is a new kind of soda that combines the classic soda taste with the benefits of a functional ingredient blend to support digestive health. Ollipop is reimagining soda with high fiber and 2 to 5 grams of sugar per can. Ollipop is a new kind of soda that combines the classic soda taste with the benefits of functional ingredient blend to support digestive health. I have to say, since being pregnant, obviously trying to get pregnant now being pregnant, I want to cut out as much nonsense as possible. And I am a fun drink kind of girl. And so leaning on Olipop during this time has been so much fun. It's also. I can share it with River. I don't feel bad being like, this is a mommy only drink. You can't have any. She enjoys it just as much and Honestly, I was so shocked when I tried Olipop's vintage cola because I was such a traditional soda kind of girl. But their vintage cola tastes so good. It tastes just like the real thing, but so much better because I know I'm only getting 2 to 5 grams of sugar from natural sources, no added sugar and there is no other nonsense mixed in.
- [38:19]
Host 1
You all have heard how I've stayed away from simple sugars over the past year and the trick is is finding your substitutes that you're love. And Olipop has become such a staple in my diet because you get the same great cola taste without all the sugar.

Host 2
You can't beat it.

Host 2
So most of your lives are, you know, small town, kind of a slower pace, but do you, any of you three enjoy traveling? Do you guys like getting to the the big cities now and then? Like how country are you guys? And and I'm curious throughout this process, were any of the women you dated hoping that just kind of like, hey, I like this lifestyle. I I can get nitty and gritty but I also take me to a show, you know, like I want to, I do want to get on a plane and maybe have a weekend in the city now and then and get a little mix of Both worlds or is it more, hey, I'm a farmer and it is what it is.
- [42:36]
Natalie
This is it.
- [42:37]
Brett
Yeah. You know, for me, it's like, I like the balanced lifestyle of it. I mean, being, you know, being in my hometown and stuff is great because it's a slow pace and you can kind of detox and get away from noise. But at the same time, like, I love being in Nashville. Like, I love, you know, being, you know, around people and around events and things like that. I do a lot of stuff, like folds of honor, like, go to all their events and stuff. And. And that's fun to me. And so, like, like, obviously, it's better to have somebody that can do both. Right. It's like somebody that doesn't mind getting their hands dirty and doing, you know, fun stuff in, you know, the farming world, but also like, somebody that you want to travel. Never been on a subway, though. I've never been to New York, matter of fact, but that's the only thing I can think of was subways.
- [43:28]
Host 2
But that's gonna change.
- [43:29]
Brett
But, yeah, but, like, I mean, I. I've. I've kind of lived in other place. I've lived here in California before. I've lived in Seattle, like. Like Fort Worth, Texas. Like, I've jumped around, and so I enjoy traveling a lot. Like, I love the mountains. Like, love going out to the mountains. But if you have somebody that can, you know, is cool with that and, you know, that's. I think that's more ideal than somebody that's just like, we're. We're in this county and that's it, you know?
- [43:54]
Natalie
Yeah.
- [43:55]
Braden
Which. Yeah. I mean, I love traveling. I love going places. I've also never been on a subway.
- [44:01]
Brett
So we're just gonna have to do a subway trip.
- [44:06]
Braden
But, no, I'm not one of those people who are just like, we're never leaving, you know, staying on a farm. But, like, yeah, I love going places and seeing new places and, like, I don't hate the city. I could. I don't think I could live in the city. Like. Like you're saying, like, you gotta get away from it, at least for me. But, yeah, like, I love going down to Nashville. I've been down there quite a bit, and. And coming out here was cool, you know, and. But yeah.
- [44:33]
Natalie
Sean, is. How involved in your family's restaurant is your partner? Are you looking for your partner to be?
- [44:41]
Sean
So I. My family has deep roots in the restaurant industry. My dad started making restaurants when he was in his 20s and from a super young Age here in California. When I was 15 years old, I started working the family restaurants, and I worked my way from, like, the very bottom, like, level positions. Like I was busing tables. And I was like, eventually worked my way up to, like, serving and bartending and then management roles. And then my dad, I've been working alongside him for the past, like, three years now, kind of looking more towards, like, the management slash business side of things and eventually seeing how I can, like, take over my family's legacy long term. But I would say I definitely want a partner that wants to be involved with it. I mean, they don't have to be like, my business partner.
- [45:18]
Natalie
But are you doing more with, like, the produce and stuff, like, on your farm?
- [45:23]
Sean
For sure. So, I mean, I. I absolutely. Like, when I was younger, like, I put in some very hard work in my property, and I still do, like, as. As I can, but I think I'm looking for more of, like, how can I make this lifestyle sustainable? So I have to kind of lean more towards, like, the business side of things and be like, all right, I need to figure out how I can do this long term, you know?
- [45:41]
Natalie
Do you have a favorite thing to grow?
- [45:43]
Sean
I would say tomatoes, for sure. It's funny because I actually used to hate tomatoes when I was a kid, and now I love tomatoes. So can you cook? I can cook pretty well. I mean, I really like cooking steaks, but I mean, I'm not the chef at the restaurant or anything. We have a really talented chef at the gathering table, and he's. He's this French Indonesian guy, and he just is, like, an absolute artist with his food. So it's. It's very fulfilling. And I think the coolest part is, like, seeing where the produce comes from and then seeing it come to the restaurant the same day and then eating that for dinner. And it's like such a fulfilling lifestyle to see the process of that.
- [46:14]
Host 2
So it's in Santa Barbara.
- [46:16]
Sean
It's insane.
- [46:17]
Natalie
Do you farmers markets?
- [46:19]
Sean
We do.
- [46:19]
Braden
Yeah.
- [46:19]
Sean
We do farmers markets as well.
- [46:21]
Braden
It's.
- [46:22]
Sean
So there's Santa Barbara, and then a little bit inland, there's a little area called Santa Ynez Valley. And it's a beautiful area whenever you guys get the chance.
- [46:29]
Natalie
Friends of ours got married in Solvang.
- [46:30]
Sean
It's beautiful. It really is. Yeah. It's really become almost like the new Napa of Los Angeles County. The wine culture there has really grown the past couple years, so we really try to, like, focus on farm to table, but also pairing our food with local wineries and, like, all kinds of stuff. So there's a lot of fun ventures involved with it.
- [46:46]
Natalie
Brett, what was more intimidating? Riding a bull, starting a business, or falling in love again?
- [46:52]
Brett
Falling in love. When I was riding bulls, I was young and dumb and didn't have, you know, the fear that I would have now getting on one.
- [47:02]
Natalie
Was there a PBR dream attached to that, or was it just like, I'm just having fun?
- [47:06]
Brett
I thought the girls would like it, so that's what I did. No, I mean, I didn't, like, grow up bull riding or rodeoing or anything.
- [47:13]
Natalie
You are tall for a bull rider.
- [47:14]
Brett
So six inches too tall.
- [47:16]
Braden
Yeah.
- [47:17]
Brett
So, like, it wasn't, you know, it was just kind of something where I honestly, like, I. I got bored. And when I was, like, 19, and I was like, I wasn't playing sports anymore, and I was just like, what can I do to fulfill adrenaline rush? And for some reason, it landed on bull riding. But, no, I mean, I think falling in love, honestly, is, like, one of the scariest things to do. But like I said, all of it was all. It's been fun starting the businesses. It's always got its ups and downs, and. But, yeah, I mean, it's. It was great, and the whole process of everything was great.
- [47:49]
Host 2
I'm curious, what. What are some of your guys's pet peeves when it comes to dating?
- [47:55]
Brett
Y' all go ahead.
- [47:58]
Sean
Pet peeves when it comes to dating. I mean, like I said before, I'm looking for more of, like, a traditional woman, so a girl that, like, I think nowadays in dating culture, like, what I hate is the modern day and age of, like, playing the game, they call it, where, like, there's this back and forth where you, like, girls will wait, like, hours to respond your text message or, like, all these random things. I just, like, hate all that fake stuff. Like, if you like someone, like, tell them, like, you don't need to sit there and, like, pull this, like, back and forth thing. So I think the modern day and age of, like, playing games or, like, sleeping around, like, just not stuff I'm into. So I think I'm definitely more towards, like, the traditional sense of, like, finding one person, committing to them for the rest of your life.
- [48:36]
Braden
Yeah, I agree with all that. But humility is big for me. Like, I don't. I. My biggest turnoff is that kind of, like. Like, I'm all that and a bag of chips. You know what I mean? Like, I just can't.
- [48:50]
Host 2
Bag of Fritos.
- [48:53]
Braden
You're welcome. No, but, like, Just like, I don't really know how to explain it. It's just like, humility is huge and like, common. Just like decent respect for other people. Like, I. I believe in like, you give the same respect that you're given and you know, if you bring a girl around your friends and she's just like, just off putting stuff like that, that's just like really big for me. So, yeah, humility.
- [49:19]
Host 2
Do you guys have any like, silly ones, like, or just. I'm curious, like, what for the.
- [49:23]
Natalie
What are some of yours?
- [49:24]
Brett
Yeah, give us an example.
- [49:27]
Host 2
Well, I mean, I'm awesome. I'm just curious about like, what are your guys's like, maybe even like bad habits that the lady who ends up with you guys is gonna have to like, put up with. Like, for me, I don't know how to close a cabinet to save my life.
- [49:37]
Brett
Oh, dude, I've got the same thing.
- [49:39]
Natalie
Yeah, like, you can't hear the like.
- [49:41]
Brett
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
- [49:42]
Host 2
I don't know.
- [49:43]
Natalie
You know, when the fridge is open.
- [49:44]
Host 2
Like, put a cover on Tupperware.
- [49:46]
Braden
I don't know.
- [49:47]
Brett
I'll get a cup out all the time and forget to close it. Like, I don't understand what that is.
- [49:52]
Host 2
Something's wrong with my brain, you know, Like, I've got.
- [49:54]
Brett
I mean, they get on to me about that too. Like, but it's like, that's weird you said that because I have that same thing. Like, that's been. It's been pointed out before.
- [50:03]
Braden
I guess I got a silly pet peeve. Like, this is just people in general. Like, if you get in a car with somebody and they take a phone call or like make a phone call, when you're in the car with them, it's only you. Like two people in the car.
- [50:16]
Host 2
Okay, so that's a good pet peeve.
- [50:17]
Braden
That drives me.
- [50:19]
Host 1
No situation.
- [50:20]
Host 2
Like, what if they're prefacing it by being like, hey man, I'm really sorry. I guess I gotta get. I gotta get.
- [50:24]
Braden
Like, that's fine.
- [50:25]
Brett
Like if it's.
- [50:26]
Braden
You gotta take that, whatever.
- [50:27]
Host 2
But like, but they're like, they're.
- [50:29]
Braden
Nick, if you get in a car and you're just like, like, sure, let's try. I'm gonna call 20 Minute Conversation. That drives me.
- [50:38]
Host 2
That's a good one.
- [50:39]
Host 1
That is good.
- [50:39]
Braden
It drives me nuts.
- [50:40]
Sean
I would just say I'm looking for a girl that like, is respectful at the end of the day. So like, there's a lot of things that play into respect and I would just Say a girl that's like, disrespectful.
- [50:49]
Host 1
Are.
- [50:50]
Host 2
Are any of you, like, messy dude can be?
- [50:53]
Brett
I mean, I, like, I'm the. I'm the type where it's like, I'll get to a point and it just drives me nuts and I, like, clean everything. But up until that point, it's like, I'll leave stuff out or forget to put something away.
- [51:04]
Natalie
Nick is allergic to laundry. He cannot do.
- [51:07]
Host 2
She's allergic to.
- [51:09]
Braden
I don't love laundry.
- [51:10]
Host 2
To leaving her. Her half drinking cups all over the house.
- [51:16]
Brett
I'll, like, have a cup sitting and I'll go get another cup.
- [51:20]
Host 2
But, like, you know, that's how it works with us. I'll be like, you know, you got 17 cups in the bedroom. And she's like, well, you have piles of your cups. We conquer and divide. When it comes to we. It really works out for us. Like, yeah, I.
- [51:35]
Brett
She.
- [51:36]
Host 2
She's allergic to dishes. I'm allergic to laundry. You know, also, I'll do some dishes. I like to cook, you know, okay. She's really good at, like, you know, I like to cook for us. But like, when it comes to our daughter, you know, like, she's. She's much better at that with us, so we're. We're good at that. But yeah, like, that's. I mean, those are like some of the fun things to hear about because, like, when it comes to relationship, you guys know, like, no matter who you guys end up with, like, you are gonna like, this process. Like, as I'm sure you guys know, like, you're gonna learn a lot about these women, but there's so much you're not learning, you know? And then whoever you guys end up with, that's gonna be that time where you're just like, oh, oh, okay.
- [52:14]
Host 1
You do that.
- [52:16]
Host 2
Cool. And it's not like a fireable offense, you know, it's. But it's kind of like, okay, you.
- [52:22]
Brett
Know, like, can I. Can I live with that?
- [52:24]
Braden
Or.
- [52:24]
Natalie
Yeah.
- [52:25]
Host 2
Yeah.
- [52:25]
Sean
That was probably my biggest concern going into the show was like, I think going onto a reality TV show, everyone puts their best foot forward and like, kind of shows their best version of themselves. And then I was kind of like wondering, like, okay, maybe I really like this girl on the show, but, like, when the cameras are gone and everything's turned off, like, they could be an entirely different person.
- [52:43]
Natalie
Totally.
- [52:43]
Sean
So I think that was probably like the. One of the biggest concerns going into the show. And, like, you don't know if people are there for the right reasons.
- [52:50]
Braden
Stuff like that.
- [52:50]
Sean
So I think through the process, I mean, you can figure out who someone is, but it's hard until you really spend that one on one time with them.
- [52:56]
Brett
To that. It's like, very quickly, I was like, look, I want y' all to be who you are. Like, I don't care about who you are when the cameras are on. Like, who are you when they're off?
- [53:06]
Host 2
Exactly.
- [53:06]
Brett
So it's like, don't wear makeup. Like, wear sweats. Like, I would rather see that version of somebody any day of the week than a dolled up version.
- [53:15]
Sean
Yes.
- [53:15]
Braden
That's the only thing I ask. Like, you know, when you get those few moments off camera where I was just like, hey, just come as you want.
- [53:22]
Brett
All I ask is be yourself.
- [53:23]
Braden
Like, just don't, like, because, I mean, we're all in it together. You don't want to waste their time. You don't want to get your time wasted. So it's just, like, just. Just be real, you know, and don't let any outside thing, like, tell you what to say or, like, don't say what you like. A big thing for me is like, don't tell me what you think I want to hear. That was big for me.
- [53:44]
Natalie
So how much of your family's opinions did y', all, like, take into consideration? Or were you, like, you know, love you guys, but I'm gonna do me.
- [53:52]
Braden
You know, for me, I mean, that's huge. Yeah, it really is huge. And, you know, I don't have, like, an overbearing family where they're just like, absolutely not. But, like, I mean, they know me better than I know me. You know what I mean? So, like, they kind of give you a different perspective. Ultimately, they're like, we're not gonna make this decision for you, but, like, here's what we think, and here's. And it wasn't so much like, what we thought. Like, how they were is more like, we can see. We see how you're, like, your body language and stuff with this one more so than this one, or, like, stuff like that. So.
- [54:30]
Natalie
And do y'.
- [54:30]
Braden
All.
- [54:30]
Natalie
Any of y' all have sisters?
- [54:32]
Braden
I have a sister. I do.
- [54:33]
Natalie
Y' all all have sisters. Okay. And how vocal were they during this process?
- [54:38]
Sean
I have a younger sister who's 15 years old, and she was, like, dying to be on the show. When she heard that I was going on, she was like, can I be on? And I was like, we'll see. I don't know. So she did end up coming on the show, and I really value her opinion because, like, she's pretty outspoken, and she kind of doesn't have a filter at times, especially being, like, super new age and, like, young and stuff. So I. She got to go away with both the girls in the end and have a private conversation with them. So, like, I'm curious to see. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know what they talked about. And I've even asked my sister. I was like, what'd you guys talking about? She's like, you'll see it on the show.
- [55:11]
Host 2
And I'm like, will we have an opportunity to see any tears run down your faces? This to the show?
- [55:19]
Braden
No, not from me.
- [55:21]
Natalie
None of y' all cried.
- [55:22]
Sean
There was some tears on the show, but not from us.
- [55:25]
Braden
Okay.
- [55:26]
Host 2
Would you guys consider yourselves romantic men?
- [55:30]
Sean
I would.
- [55:30]
Brett
I would.
- [55:31]
Host 2
What's the. Maybe the most romantic thing you've ever done for a girlfriend?
- [55:36]
Brett
I mean, honestly. Well, I mean, I. I don't. I'd have to think about, like, in the past, and also, I don't want to say. I'd be like, oh, this is the most romantic thing.
- [55:45]
Braden
Yeah.
- [55:45]
Natalie
Then she's like, wait a minute.
- [55:47]
Braden
You haven't done that for.
- [55:51]
Brett
I mean, like, one of the coolest things that, you know, I've always thought was romantic was actually in the show because it was, like, my idea for, like, one of our dates. I don't want to reveal anything about it, but, like, it was. It was like one of those things where you kind of, like, draw up in your head where it's like, oh, how cool would this be? So we. I got the opportunity to do that, you know, on the show. So I was pretty. It was pretty cool.
- [56:14]
Sean
That was the cool thing. I think we all got the opportunity to kind of work with our producers and, like, designing the activities and the dates that we did on the show. So, like, when they were asking us the same question, like, what's your most romantic date idea? And we would say it, and then we would do it on the show.
- [56:28]
Brett
Yeah.
- [56:28]
Sean
So that was the cool.
- [56:29]
Brett
So it made it kind of cool.
- [56:30]
Braden
Yeah.
- [56:30]
Host 2
I asked Riley Green this question, and I kind of broke his brain, but do you guys know what your love language is?
- [56:35]
Sean
I would say so.
- [56:39]
Braden
I feel like I get English.
- [56:44]
Host 2
So we got words of affirmation. So you. And generally speaking, how you receive love is how you like to show love for the most part, but you got words of affirmation. So you like to be told, I love you. You're a good person. You know, you're A great partner or you. And you communicate that to your partner. You got acts of service, you know, so you like to do things for your partner. Like, that's me. Like, I love showing up. I like, if I can help my partner out, if I, you know, brings.
- [57:12]
Natalie
Me a cup of coffee every morning.
- [57:13]
Host 2
You know, like, I like taking care of my people. Gifts. You know, you're a big gift giver. You love receiving gift gifts. Quality time, you know, just like, you know, hanging out together, putting on a, you know, taking a walk together, watching a sunset, things like that. And then physical touch. And physical touch.
- [57:29]
Braden
I mean, those all sound great.
- [57:30]
Brett
Yeah.
- [57:30]
Braden
Yeah.
- [57:31]
Natalie
That's like, that's how I am. I'm like, I'm all five.
- [57:33]
Brett
So pick one. Like, is this one that you want to be received or like, generally, it's. They're.
- [57:41]
Host 2
They're both. Right. Okay. They often. I think most people don't realize often the one that you like to do for your partner is kind of a signal that you also enjoy that happening to you. But that's not always the case. And you can have more than one. Like, some people are like, you know, it's a combination of the two, and.
- [57:59]
Brett
Yeah.
- [58:00]
Host 2
Or some people, it's like, you know, I really just like gifts. Like, I, you know, gifts does nothing for me, but, you know.
- [58:05]
Brett
Yeah.
- [58:06]
Host 2
Does a lot for her.
- [58:07]
Sean
So I would say. I would say all five are applicable to me, but I would say if I could only choose one, I would say quality time is probably at the top of my list. I just think it's so valuable to spend quality time with your partner. And I think all the other love language can come from quality time, but I think quality time is just so important.
- [58:24]
Braden
Yeah. I mean, if we're picking one, I think words of affirmation, like, just say what you mean, mean what you say, and, you know, that goes a long way for me. But, you know, acts of service, like, I think if I had to pick one, that how I like to show it, you know, I like to, like you said perfectly, like, show up.
- [58:43]
Brett
Yeah.
- [58:43]
Braden
Like, that's. That's the biggest thing I think, in a relationship is just. Just you got to show up for that person every day. So.
- [58:49]
Brett
Yeah, I mean, I think I'm pretty much that same way. It's like, I like to do things for people.
- [58:54]
Braden
Yeah.
- [58:55]
Brett
I don't really necessarily care if they do them back, but that's how I like to show that if I like, like you, I'm gonna do everything I can for you.
- [59:03]
Host 2
Was that that first Time kissing on camera. That's a great question.
- [59:12]
Brett
Question. By the way, who wants to leave that one off?
- [59:15]
Host 2
In my experience, having done a somewhat similar premise, not related around farmers, but you guys are very much like, as they say, the leads of the show. And when people don't know what to say or they get a little nervous, it's usually like make out time.
- [59:32]
Brett
Yeah.
- [59:34]
Host 2
Was that a different. Did you relate to that experience or was that a little different?
- [59:39]
Sean
Just from my farm. I think this season they were kind of pushing more towards like bachelor type on the Farmer wants a Wife. Because originally I watched, I had never seen the show. And then I like speed watched season three, like the week before I went on the show and I was like, oh, this seems pretty, like wholesome. There's like some raunchy moments and stuff like that. But then I got on my farm and like, take your shirt off like every five minutes. I'm like, okay, take a baby. So I mean, yeah, I mean, definitely something I've never done before. And like, I think there was points where, like, I think it was a bit uncomfortable. Like, like you're having an intimate moment with someone and then you look over their shoulder and there's like a camera guy going like, this is weird.
- [60:15]
Host 2
You know, how do you guys deal with jealousy? Because I imagine, you know, you guys there, there are going to be some opportunities for some of these women to, you know, feel a little bit of jealousy given, you know, you're. You're having multiple feelings for different women.
- [60:30]
Brett
For me? Yeah. Go ahead, take it.
- [60:32]
Braden
You can take it if you want. Insecurity. Like, I'll preface this by saying, like, everybody's got insecurities, like everybody does. But if you let that control you, that's, that's really big for me. Like, just someone who's very secure with themselves is very attractive to me. So, like, jealousy, like how they handle that, because everybody gets jealous, like, no matter what. But it's how you handle that is big for me. So I didn't, I felt like I didn't have to deal with that too much. I think it was more behind closed doors than what I saw. Yeah.
- [61:07]
Brett
So most of my stuff, if there was any, it was when I was not around.
- [61:12]
Braden
Okay.
- [61:13]
Brett
You know, like, you know, so. And I can, like, I'll say this, and I mean, we've all talked about this, but like, all the girls that I had on my farm were all super cool. Like, they all were buddies. So that made it also weird because I didn't have any.
- [61:27]
Braden
You're like, why am I here?
- [61:28]
Brett
Yeah, I was like, I was the odd person out. Like, they were friends and they all got along and they're all still friends. Like, that's the crazy thing, even after it's done. So I didn't have like that jealousy side, you know, so much where you had girls like fighting each other and you know, stuff like that. It was more so they were just like, look, like, we trust you and we know that you're just do it like you're gonna pick the right person for you and we want that.
- [61:55]
Braden
There's a lot of lose, lose situations a lot where it's just like, like you said, like, you gotta break some hearts and sometimes you gotta like, like send people home. That you don't necessarily have a great reason to send them home. It's just a decision you have to make. And like, you're kind of working towards one goal and that's to find somebody. And like, that was the hardest part for me is just because I'm like, I don't want to hurt anybody like that. And you know, we were kind of knew that warned about that going in as like, hey, like, this is gonna be hard, like sending girls home. And you kind of think about that. You're like, yeah, I'm sure it won't be fun. But then like, I, I remember just being like, that sucked. Like, that was horrible. I hated doing that.
- [62:40]
Sean
So I think putting myself in the girl shoes, like, if I could only imagine, like, especially in the first event like, of the show, like, I just hated the layout of like sending girls home because, like, they're putting themselves out there. Like, you can tell they're super nervous and I could just like see myself in their shoes. Like, putting yourself out there and then getting sent home, it's gotta be the worst feeling in the world. And like, like, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but like the first, I mean, it's on season three as well. But like, the layout of picking girls is like they line them up like a dodgeball game and you pick them out name by name, like, come back to your farm. And then like, the girls that you don't pick are still standing at you. And like, the host is like, well, why didn't you pick them? And it's just like, oh my gosh, this is hard. This is so hard. And it's like, it's not a good feeling to like, sit there and like, as you're saying something, you can just see someone's like, heart crushed and it just, it's not a good thing.
- [63:26]
Braden
Especially night one. That's really hard because you do get limited time with them and it's the first time ever seeing or meeting 10.
- [63:33]
Brett
Minute, like you get a 10 minute conversation. Yeah. And then it's done.
- [63:36]
Natalie
Was there any, like, oh, no. What if I'm sending the wrong.
- [63:40]
Braden
Oh, yeah, like all the time. I mean, you second guess yourself a lot. And I usually don't do that a ton, but I found myself doing like, I don't know how to date 5 women. Never done that. No idea. First and last time. And so I kept saying, I think I said that so many times on camera. I was like, I have no idea what I'm doing. Like, I, you know, I'm just trying to like, again, like, it's cliche as it sounds, like, fall my heart and just like, do the right thing and. But it's. It's hard to do. It's hard to do.
- [64:13]
Host 2
So should we play a little this or that?
- [64:16]
Natalie
Yeah, we have a fun little game. Get to know the farmers. Do you prefer a partner who shares everything online or someone who doesn't use social media at.
- [64:24]
Braden
At all?
- [64:25]
Sean
Doesn't use social media?
- [64:26]
Brett
Yeah.
- [64:26]
Natalie
I would go, okay, best pickup line. What's your go to? Or the best one you've heard. Are you from Tennessee?
- [64:37]
Host 2
You're a farmer?
- [64:38]
Brett
One of the, One of the fun. One of the funnest ones for me was, and I don't do this anymore, so don't hold this against me. But like in college, and it's not even a pickup line, but if you just like do that at a girl at a bar for some reason, they just like come to you. For whatever reason. It's like, they just come and it's like, it works every time. Who's that guy with a mustache?
- [65:09]
Natalie
Date night in or date night out?
- [65:12]
Sean
That's a hard. I would say both.
- [65:13]
Braden
I can't pick one.
- [65:14]
Brett
Or that'd be a hard one. I would. Depends on what you're doing. Yeah, depends on what you're doing. Day, night in sounds better.
- [65:22]
Natalie
Well, what is your best hometown date?
- [65:26]
Braden
I think, like I always said, like they asked us during casting, like, our perfect day or a perfect date. And mine was like, you know, I have a boat, so I like going out in the water and stuff. And I was like, going out in the water, coming home, sitting by a fire. That's like, like, perfect day.
- [65:42]
Host 2
Sounds good to me.
- [65:43]
Braden
Yeah, I'll date you. We'll talk later.
- [65:48]
Natalie
Unfortunately.
- [65:49]
Brett
Just saying, throwing it out there. What about you perfect hometown date. Honestly, for us, it's more of just like cooking at home and then having porch beers, you know, like just hanging out like fire, porch beer, watching a movie.
- [66:08]
Natalie
Are all of y' all handy man y' all can fix? Yeah.
- [66:14]
Brett
Yeah.
- [66:14]
Natalie
Okay. Y' all aren't like taskrabbiting to hang a picture?
- [66:18]
Brett
No.
- [66:18]
Host 1
No.
- [66:18]
Natalie
Okay.
- [66:19]
Sean
I'm a pretty hands on guy, pretty much fix anything. But like when it comes to like designing things, I'm probably not the best at like how it looks like visually like an interior designer. But I can do anything, like physically, like plumbing.
- [66:29]
Natalie
She can have all the ideas.
- [66:30]
Braden
And electrical, I can't do anything electrical.
- [66:34]
Sean
It can be dangerous.
- [66:35]
Braden
That's the only thing.
- [66:36]
Natalie
Hanging new lights.
- [66:37]
Sean
Can you.
- [66:37]
Host 2
Can you fix those?
- [66:42]
Braden
From that child.
- [66:44]
Host 2
I find that to be the most challenging.
- [66:48]
Brett
Job. I don't want to do.
- [66:49]
Natalie
Kiss on the first date or wait, wait, wait, wait. When are y' all wait until when.
- [66:54]
Sean
The time is right.
- [66:55]
Brett
For me, it's more so. It's like I don't want to kiss marriage and I don't want to kiss you until I know that it's something worth doing. If that makes sense. I don't know if that makes sense. It's like if you. Because I feel like if you kiss somebody too early, like, it may leave wrong. It may leave a wrong impression and you may not even want to be with that person. But if you. I mean, obviously I've kissed people on the first date, but like the older point at em. Yeah. You know, the, the older I've gotten, the more it's been like. Well, it's like you can kiss anybody, but like it's. It means more if you kiss somebody that you actually want to be with.
- [67:31]
Braden
Okay. If the moment's right and it's a mutual thing. That's kind of of how I am. So I'm not opposed to kissing on the first day, but like, I'm not going to be like, this has to. You have to kiss me right now.
- [67:43]
Natalie
Big spoon or little spoon?
- [67:44]
Brett
Little spoon. Love it.
- [67:47]
Host 2
We got a little spoon guy.
- [67:49]
Sean
Dude, definitely big.
- [67:50]
Brett
There's nothing better than just like, you're.
- [67:52]
Sean
A tall guy too.
- [67:58]
Brett
Somebody hold me. It's so nice though, if you're just.
- [68:04]
Braden
It's like.
- [68:04]
Brett
Brings you back to childhood.
- [68:06]
Braden
I mean, little spoon, back scratch, dude.
- [68:08]
Brett
It's bad.
- [68:08]
Sean
That's not bad.
- [68:09]
Braden
It could be worse.
- [68:10]
Natalie
Pay on the first day or split the bill.
- [68:13]
Brett
Okay.
- [68:13]
Braden
100.
- [68:14]
Natalie
Do y' all appreciate, like, reach for.
- [68:18]
Brett
I will, I will say this, like if. Even if they Offer. Like, that's not like, it's nice if you just even offer. But I. I 100% am not expecting anybody to pay ever.
- [68:30]
Sean
I agree.
- [68:31]
Brett
Like, I don't know if that's just a Southern grand. I mean, y' all are that way too.
- [68:35]
Braden
But like, my grandpa had an old saying. He said this is another old farmer talk. He said, a woman can pay for herself, but a man won't let her. Sure is what he would always say. So, like, that's kind of.
- [68:47]
Brett
I've never, like, I've never seen my mom pay for a. A meal. Like, my dad always paid. Like, Like I've just grown up. Where you pay for.
- [68:55]
Natalie
Are all of yalls parents together? Together they are. How long have they been married?
- [69:00]
Sean
30 years.
- [69:01]
Brett
I don't know.
- [69:02]
Braden
I think I got married in like.
- [69:03]
Brett
88, 87, something like that.
- [69:05]
Braden
I don't know.
- [69:05]
Natalie
What is, like, the biggest lesson they've taught you for, you know, long term relationship marriage, I think.
- [69:12]
Sean
I mean, I come from a Christian background, so keeping God at the center of the relationship, I mean, I think that's one of the most important things, like step one, and it's allowed my. My parents to be happily married for over now. And they're still like, happily dating. Like every week they go on a date night and stuff like that, and they're still madly in love with each other. So I think being like, madly in love but also keeping God at the center of the relationship is something that's super important.
- [69:35]
Brett
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, like, it's like, date, just date. Like, as long as you're dating each other and you're having fun. Yeah. It's like I was in my hometown the other day, and I was like, saw my mom and dad holding hands, walking in the restaurant, you know, like, stuff like that. And it's like, awesome. And like, I've seen my grandmother and my grandfather, like, holding hands. Like, you know, so, like, I think it's. If you can just date them. Like, you're all. It's always gonna. You're always gonna be in a happy.
- [70:00]
Braden
Relationship and just show up. Like I've said before is like, that's kind of what my dad taught me. And another time, my grandpa said, he. He always said he's like, I'm only gonna give you one piece of marriage advice. He would give me more than one piece.
- [70:14]
Brett
He'd always say that.
- [70:15]
Braden
And he said, the only marriage advice I'm gonna give you is, yes, dear. Yes, dear. Yes.
- [70:19]
Natalie
Yeah. Happy life. Happy life.
- [70:21]
Braden
Yeah. Happy. I know.
- [70:22]
Sean
I Say yes.
- [70:22]
Braden
Always. Yeah.
- [70:23]
Sean
And just.
- [70:24]
Braden
But that's part of just showing up. Just showing up.
- [70:26]
Brett
Be patient with people.
- [70:28]
Natalie
I mean, what is some of the weirdest farm lingo you use? Is it specific to what you do?
- [70:34]
Sean
Farm lingo?
- [70:35]
Braden
Farm lingo. Oh, gosh.
- [70:36]
Natalie
Or just like, I feel like. I mean, being from the south, like, we have things that we say that people don't.
- [70:41]
Brett
Where are you from?
- [70:42]
Braden
Auburn.
- [70:42]
Natalie
Out of.
- [70:43]
Braden
Okay, cool. Yeah.
- [70:45]
Brett
Yeah. I mean, I don't know about lingo, but I get made fun of by words that I say all the time.
- [70:52]
Braden
I do, too.
- [70:53]
Brett
And I did on the show. I did throughout the entire show. Like, I was just getting made fun of.
- [70:58]
Host 2
Like what?
- [70:59]
Brett
Like, so you'll say acorn. I say acorn. Like, stuff like that.
- [71:05]
Host 2
Say oil.
- [71:05]
Brett
Oh, yeah. Everything's just like. If I say it, how you say it sounds ridiculous. Like oil. Like.
- [71:15]
Braden
Say that one more time.
- [71:19]
Natalie
Not right.
- [71:20]
Braden
Yeah, Just. Oh, I got so much flack for saying. Well, like, I don't say. I can't even say 100. I say 100, you know?
- [71:28]
Brett
And your Midwest has got, like. Y' all have different.
- [71:32]
Braden
One that drove the girls crazy was, like, on the show is I would say instead of washer, I say washer. Yeah. For like, wash. You know, I just Water.
- [71:41]
Natalie
Water.
- [71:42]
Braden
I don't. I say water like it's weird. It comes out randomly.
- [71:45]
Natalie
But he's from Wisconsin, and he says Midwest. Rough. The rough.
- [71:50]
Host 2
Roof. Yeah, the roof.
- [71:53]
Braden
How do you say boat?
- [71:54]
Sean
Boat.
- [71:55]
Braden
Okay, so I hear boat a lot. Or like, it's with an accent. I hear it like.
- [72:00]
Brett
Well, a lot of people, like, here, too. When they say both, it'll be.
- [72:03]
Braden
They say bag. Bag instead of big.
- [72:07]
Natalie
Oh, yeah, Big.
- [72:08]
Brett
Big.
- [72:08]
Braden
Big.
- [72:08]
Brett
Yeah.
- [72:09]
Braden
Yeah. Big boat.
- [72:10]
Host 2
Big.
- [72:13]
Natalie
I don't. I feel like California is kind of.
- [72:16]
Sean
They don't have accent. I mean, that's a really bad habit I have, I guess, of saying, like, a lot. And I think I definitely got ripped up on the show for, like, pronouncing things wrong.
- [72:25]
Host 2
I picked that up when I moved to California.
- [72:26]
Sean
Yeah, the, like, thing I hate, like, I hate news.
- [72:29]
Host 2
I turn into a Valley girl when.
- [72:30]
Braden
I moved to California.
- [72:32]
Sean
It's just like, I think when you talk to people around here, everyone says, like, so you pick it up so easily. And I mean, I don't, like.
- [72:39]
Braden
Well spoken on the show. Like, I remember we were talking, like, it's right after we met each other.
- [72:44]
Brett
Sean's PR training.
- [72:45]
Braden
Yeah. I remember saying to Brett, I was just like, we were talking and, like, what you said, like, your Opening pitch was like so perfect. And I was like. I remember looking at Brett, I was like.
- [72:55]
Brett
I said, dude, he's got a mic.
- [72:56]
Braden
Does this guy have a mic on him?
- [72:59]
Sean
I was reading the teleprompter.
- [73:01]
Braden
Then they switched to Brett and I were like, be worse, man.
- [73:06]
Host 2
Love is good.
- [73:08]
Brett
I know what love is.
- [73:10]
Sean
Yeah. It'll be so interesting to watch this all back because I think for me it's like you think back and it was just like an experience and then to watch it back being recorded, it's going to be the coolest thing. But also like a weird thing, you know, because like at the end we all ended up with one girl. So like, to watch an interaction with another girl that you didn't choose at the end, I don't. It's kind of a weird feeling.
- [73:28]
Host 2
What's your. What's your favorite rom com Movie?
- [73:31]
Host 1
Movie?
- [73:32]
Brett
10 Things I Hate about you.

Braden
I got two. Either Sweet Home Alabama or Hell, lose a guy in 10 days. Like that one too.
- [73:42]
Natalie
What about you, Sean?
- [73:44]
Sean
Rom coms. There's that one movie. It's not really a comedy. There's just one movie called About Town, I think where the guy goes in the closet and he like time travels. Is that. Have you seen that movie? Yeah, that's a good movie.
- [73:55]
Braden
Narnia.
- [74:02]
Sean
I'll have to think about that one. I don't really watch a lot of rom coms, honestly.
- [74:05]
Natalie
Are you all like, like movie theater out or like Netflix and chill?
- [74:09]
Brett
I love going to the. Going to the theater.
- [74:11]
Sean
Theaters is fun. Yeah. I feel like it's kind of slowing down. Nowadays. Everyone just streams stuff at home, which is kind of sad.
- [74:17]
Braden
It's kind of something.
- [74:18]
Brett
There's something good about like going and getting popcorn and Coke.
- [74:20]
Host 1
Yeah.
- [74:21]
Brett
And like just going.
- [74:22]
Natalie
It's like making a bowl of popcorn at home. It's just not this.
- [74:25]
Host 2
You feel like you're here.
- [74:26]
Brett
Here's what's like, funny. So like our hometown, we've got like our. Our theater still charges like 6 bucks a T ticket and. But we'll just go get popcorn at the movie theater and then go watch a movie. Like if it's not out on.
- [74:40]
Natalie
Oh yeah, you like go and get people.
- [74:42]
Brett
Go get popcorn.
- [74:43]
Host 2
I heard that actually recently like someone like door dash popcorn from the movie theater.
- [74:47]
Brett
Really? That's awesome. It's the best thing in the world.
- [74:49]
Natalie
That's like what's going to be keeping AMC alive is like everyone.
- [74:56]
Brett
Sneaking stuff in anymore. They're just going back.
- [75:00]
Braden
Yeah.
- [75:01]
Natalie
That is true.
- [75:02]
Host 2
Well, boys this has been really fun getting to know you. I'm really excited to see how your journeys all unfold. It sounds like this process worked out for y', all, so we're really excited to see how that goes down and what those relationships look like when it's all said and done.
- [75:19]
Natalie
Happy for your, your partners and for y'. All. Sad for all my single girlfriends who I was like, oh, maybe it didn't work out.
- [75:27]
Braden
There's a lot of good girls, though.
- [75:28]
Brett
They'll be okay.
- [75:30]
Host 2
Is this something you guys? Guys are still feeling really good and optimistic that this for all three of you, it could be endgame, and you feel like you guys have found the one?
- [75:39]
Sean
I feel very confident.
- [75:40]
Brett
Yeah. Honestly, if you'd asked me that at the beginning of it, I said there's no way. But, yeah, right now, it feels like that for me.
- [75:48]
Braden
Yeah. I mean, I'm completely blown away.
- [75:50]
Sean
I think it'd be so cool if we all ended up, like, marrying our end girls and, like, ended up together. I think it'd be a first.
- [75:56]
Host 2
Well, it's one of the most successful dating shows in the history of dating shows, there many babies have been born.
