It's the question on Australia's lips: Did Veronica and Dave hook up on Married At First Sight during this week's partner swap task? Because Jamie is saying she isn't sure about this in the press, and viewers seem convinced something happened...

So I just phoned her to ask directly. 

Not only did she answer the question, but she also shared some wider context about what they bonded over while filming this week's episodes.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with
Me Joshua Fox. Last night I did a deep dive
into the state of Jamie and Dave's relationship present day,
while asking the question are they still together? And I
won't include that spoiler here, but if you do want
to know, go and listen to that episode. But today,
right now, I'm investigating a new question which is on

(00:21):
everyone's lips across Australia. Did Veronica really become the camilla
to our very own child's and Diana during the couple
swat week?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so
it was a bit crowded.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
And did she, dare I say it, have sex with Dive?
Because that's what the show is almost suggesting this week,
and that's what fans are now thinking happened. And even
in the press this morning, I've noticed that Jamie has
only said she doesn't believe anything happened between them, not
that she knows nothing happened. Anyway. I could sit here
and speculate and spin a thousand theories that could go

(00:57):
either way, but instead of that, I thought up, I'm
just gonna film Veronica and ask her. Hi. Welcome to
the Mathsphony Podcast. You, I have a very big question
for you right now. Okay, suits did you shag Dave?

(01:23):
Well no, oh oh god.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I find it so hilarious that this whole thing is
circulating in this way, like I've actually been abstinate for
almost two years.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Quait for real?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Sorry this? Yeah, I think everyone's just looking for someone
to blame. To be honest, Wait, so I'm an easy
target given given hell, everything's been unfolding for me recently.
It's going really well.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I've got a back track way. We're putting the confirmation
out there. You did not sleep with Dave, because that's
where everyone's kind of speculating and Jamie's maybe suggest thing
you tried to or whatever in the press.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Uh yeah, no, No, there's Dave and I have never
even had those feelings towards each other, like we actually
just I think we both just felt under a lot
of pressure in our relationships for different reasons. My relationship
was an absolute shit storm from day dot So that
was where I was coming from in terms of, you know,

(02:23):
Dave and I just getting along and kind of being
able to just have a laugh and make a joke
without it turning into an argument which I was so
desperate for someone up at my jokes.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
So this has gone from you two having a nice
time in this bizarre task to everyone singing your fuck
and now you've just said you've not had sex for
two years.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, are you recording?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, welcome to the podcast. Wait, so sorry you never
even chegged Elliott?

Speaker 2 (02:54):
No, absolutely not, absolutely not, no desire to do. So
it's yeah, Look, intimacy is like a very important thing
to me, and some people throw it around and are
happy to, you know, just do their thing and how
to live your life. But for me personally, like I've
reached a point in my life where I'm not really

(03:14):
interested in that kind of lifestyle, and you'd be hard
pressed to find someone, to be honest, because it's just
not happening. It's just not a thing for me at
the moment. I'm really just primarily focusing on trying to
just be a better person in the world and focus
on my relationships and building more meaningful relationships with people
I love and all that kind of jams. So yeah,

(03:37):
but no, definitely did not sleepy day. We actually and
the connection that everybody's talking about that has absolutely no
context whatsoever is actually related to our parents, who are
both really sick. I think it's a bit more publicly
known what's going on with Dave's dad and his own

(04:00):
treatment things like that, But I actually came into this
with a similar kind of story and background. My dad's
had multiple strokes in the last year, and Dave and
I were actually able to sit down and talk about,
you know, the loss of different parts of our fathers
and how that was really taking a toll on us
in the experiment, and that was what that connection was like,

(04:22):
being able to confide in somebody who was going through
a similar experience of brief and loss and just dealing with,
you know, life. Life continues to happen even though in
that in that sort of environment in the experiment. So, yeah,

(04:42):
it's very interesting how it all come out. I thought
that was quite hilarious. That's speculation about me having shag Dave,
who lives in a different state, who I didn't see
again after the reunion, like at all.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know what's interesting? Sorry, we obviously Yeah, you're right.
Dave did speak about that any speech on his wedding day,
and I suppose his viewers. This show moved so quickly
that I had forgot that. But last night I seen
a comment I think it was on Reddit, and it
was someone saying, perhaps the reason Dave has pulled away
from Jamie lately is because you know, he's dealing with
all this other stuff in his personal life away from

(05:20):
the show. And then people were saying, maybe, like we
should cut him a bit of slack, and you kind
of now saying you tube bonded over kind of going
through similar things.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, exactly right, And it doesn't really it's not really
present in my in my story, but you know, it's
it's such a difficult thing in life in general to
you know, be pretty much witnessing your parents moving into
that stage of life where there is a really high

(05:51):
chance that you're going to lose them. And for me,
like I celebrated my dad's birthday while I was in
the experiment on one weekend, I managed to beg and
plead to get the weekend evening off so that I
could spend it with my dad and my family. And
I was really grateful to be able to do that,
because you know, it's almost like a like being around

(06:15):
friends and family in general will make you feel so
much better. And I just did straight after that, you know,
being able to spend some time with him. My dad
in my life is someone that I spend multiple times with.
I spend time with him multiple times a week, and
it's a huge priority for me to make sure that
I am making time to see him because I don't
know how much time I have left with him, and
that is something that I think about every single day.

(06:38):
And unfortunately it wasn't something I was able to talk
to Elliott about. And so really that connection point for
Dave and I was like we kind of were able
to just be vulnerable about our feelings around all of
that and really talk about how the experiment affected how
we were feeling about being away. And I was really
lucky in that I was able to spend time with

(07:00):
my dad and in the same state, but but Dave
didn't have that luxury, so he was in a bit
of a spot. And I was actually really surprised that
after after the swap, it resulted in the way that
it did, because I pretty much spent the majority of
my time in there saying how him and Jamie were

(07:21):
the goals, and I said it throughout the entire experiment.
I was like, I want what they've got. I want this,
This is the goal, this them and Jeff and Ree,
like that's that's what everybody wants, you know. Like so unfortunately,
you know, we didn't really see that side of it.
And you know, Jeff and Ree, I still stand by that.
I think they're a great model couple and you know

(07:43):
they've they've had a beautiful, you know relationship. Now through
the experiment, you'll have to wait and see how that goes,
but I think.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
It suit will. I feel kind of Butler because I
did this whole set up to this phone callbying like
Veronica might be the Camilla to our Charles and Diana,
and then you've told me all that and then I'm.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Like, oh, mate, everyone's looking for someone un public enemy
number one apparently, so bring it on.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah, well, you know what, I'm glad we had that
chat because it's so true that we kind of forget
the wider reality of your life and we're watching the
show and think that's everything, but actually, when you've got
all that shit you're both dealing with, like that's heavy
and that is such an important part of how you're feeling,
and then for them not to show any of that
and the context, like I don't know, that's kind of
fucked no.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
And like you know, at the end of the day,
it's a TV show and they're looking for things that
are worth watching and we are all active participants in that,
you know, and and but that doesn't negate from the
fact that we are also still human beings having an
experience and it does take its toll and it's not
an easy thing to do. But yeah, I mean, even

(08:52):
now in watching it, life is still happening. Life is
still very much happening, except now with this like weird
added pressure of public opinion and all the rest of it.
And realistically, like people don't really know the truth or
anything about you, I mean for myself specifically, Like I

(09:13):
don't really feel like my side of the story has
really been shown. They're pretty much only just shown me
an absolute breaking point in every aspect of the show.
So hi, guys, this is like me at my worst,
So it can only get better from here.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well I must fantastic actress as well.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, I mean, look, he said I wouldn't get an oscar,
but like I beg to differ. Sweet part.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Well, we'll start with a LOGI that we'll work. You've
got an agent Yeah, now I've already it's been a
lively chat. And then I do appreciate you will answering
the call and giving me that wider context than whenever
you guys leave the experiment, which I'm guessing is soon
maybe we can do like a bigger chat and like
just talk about more stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, thanks for reaching out. I really appreciate it. It's actually
nice to hear a friendly voice.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
No one usually says that about me, But thank you.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
All right, Charlebabe, we've gotta get back to work.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Bye bye.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah
