A few months ago I hired a videographer named Josu to join Pedro and I at the AIIMS Creator Hub, but the issue is… he’s never watched a single second of Married At First Sight. So ahead of the new season, which he’ll be working on with me, I thought I’d get his reaction to some of the show’s dumbest ever moments.
Neither of us expected this podcast to end with Josu performing a rap song he’d written roasting me.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with
Me Joshua Fox, and today, guys, I'm going to do
something a little bit different. And as I've been preparing
for next year a season like collating my notes and
content plans, I've realized that Jossu, my young editor, videographer,
kind of junior producer, has never actually watched an episode
(00:21):
of Married at First Sight Australia in his life, which
was quite an oversight for me when I hired him,
since half his job is going to be helping with
this podcast. So for today, I thought I would bring
young Jossu one. He's twenty one, he's from England, he's
been in Australia about six months now, and I'm just
going to play him like some of the show's most
iconic or memorable or like silliest scenes, not necessarily the
(00:42):
most dramatic, but I just want to give him like
a taste of what Maths can be like when it's
at its best, and just get his reaction, because I
don't think he quite understands the show and what it entails.
He genuinely believes it's just happy people get married, a
few split up and maybe the odder fair and I'm like, mate,
(01:03):
you've got no idea. But like I said in my
recent point, I want to try to stick to more
of the funny side of things, so I'm not going
to go into like the toxic stuff at no. Actually
there is one that's a bit toxic, but this context
of that because me and Jossu recently met the bride involved.
But before I get to that and bring him in
in the most recent episode, I'd speculated about that I'm
(01:26):
a celebrity cast. According to Dally Mel, the Maths bride
who will be entering the jungle is one of the
free I guess it would be, and it is apparently
cyclone Cyrel, which if true, should be great television because
as we all know, Cyrel is not one to hold
back and she's just like when you think of like
Maths Australia, she's one of the more like iconic, memorable
(01:47):
ones of all time. So looking forward to that, and
now let me bring in Jossu. Okay, Jossu, you're back
on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
How are you good? How are you Josh?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Very well good? You've worked with me for four months.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Now, is it? Yeah? I think just over four months?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Has it? Been a dream come true.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It has been a dream come true. It's been very good.
I've really enjoyed myself.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You something you're talking in a LinkedIn post yesterday, I
said to you, how do I compare from the very
first time we met to now? You know me?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, and I think.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I think from the first time I met you to now,
I think I've discovered a lot more about you, Josh,
in your behaviors and you're.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Emotional stability.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Okay, yep. It was funny because you mentioned something I'd forgot,
which when you applied for the job. Pedro, who listeners know,
my business partner and me and him did a first
phone interview with you, Yes, and you mentioned the fact
that Pedro and I had an argument on that phone call.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Remember I was at my old job outside on the
phone because I was looking to join somewhere new. And
then I remember speaking to you guys on the phone
and something I think Pedro said, You went, it's not
very professional, Pedro, and then Pedro proceeded to then shout
back at you on the phone, and.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Then we had an argument in front of our potentially
employee about business standards and being professional I know, And
then a few days later, we met you in the
pub for a proper interview.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And then.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Josh walked in the door and was I was twenty
minutes late for twenty minutes late, and was visibly unhappy
with his day.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And the first thing I said was.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'm really pissed off. I'm having a bad day. Yep.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I was just letting you know what I'm like from
the very start. Yeah, and here we are about to
go into our first married well you're first married at
first SAC season.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I know, I'm excited. I've never watched the show in
my life, but which is.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Quite the issue since half the work you're going to
be doing here for the next year revolves around this show.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No, so I will be doing my homework, but I've
never watched it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And I want you to react. I want your honest reactions.
This is the iconic wine throw between Martha and Cyrel.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I'm going to put my drink on her.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I am, and I'll tell you right.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
No, have you ever been to a dinner party.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Like that, a big table like that, maybe once or twice.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Where people are throwing drink. I don't care about what dinner, but.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I need to know the context, why does she do it?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
These two kind of hated each other all season and
it was just escalating and escalating.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And then but why do they hate each other?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Is it like a because on they are assigned to
specific couples, and like, how does the tension build between
these different people?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, because everyone's in their own relationship. The once a
week they have a dinner party and they all kind
of just like getting each other's business, and like, okay,
it's just it's funny. Because you asked me why they
don't like each other. I don't even remember. I just
remember they had many fights, Yeah, okay. And Cyrel was
good because she was very vocal about what she believed
in and often that pissed people off. But I appreciated
(05:32):
her brutal honesty, which you'll see in the next scene
with Cyrel. And for context of that, there was a
man called Sam and a woman called in S who
were matched with other people. They'd been having a bit
of an affair and then it all kind of came
out in the open, and Cyrel was very vocal about
her unhappiness with what they'd done, even though she had
(05:52):
no involvement, didn't affect her in the slightest and then
she said a quote in this that became like one
of the most iconic quotes from Mathsosustralia. So I want
to see if you can even pick up what the
iconic thing was.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
If I had my time over, I wouldn't have accepted
the message. I wouldn't have accepted the message from in
this and met up within us.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I do regret it. Inness, What are you laughing? You're
sitting here.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
You don't No, I am gonna scream at you.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
She's what what what? Don't disrespect me.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
You've just ruined up a marriage and you're saying that
it's morning.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Your high splinding is looking like the face of she
I feel so sorry for you.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You deserve better than that, because you deserve better than.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
That smiling to do what. You don't understand what I
need to understand you. All I know is you work
through a marriage and I sit there and just meet
up with another wife the laughing place.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
The world doesn't revolve around you said, you ain't keep dingling,
settle the down.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You ain't king dingling.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, I thought it would be that. I can actually
quite on some of what she said.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Say it again, you ain't King dingle Ling no idea,
but it was on T shirts.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Followed King Dingling.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I think it means that you think you're like the guy.
So maybe next time you're getting a bit carried away
in the office and I need to put you in
your place. Just King Dingling, get back to editing now.
The next clip I'm going to show you is from
maybe like four years ago. They did a Maths All
star reunion where they brought back some of the bigger
(07:40):
personalities for one off dinner parties so we could catch
up with their journey's post show, when in reality, they
just brought back people that were going to fight. Okay,
and you're going to see in this a man that
we recently bumped into in Bondai.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh yes, I remember.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And this man he was walking up to people saying he.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Is, oh, the most famous man in Australia and.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You turned to me and went, who is it? Yeah,
and then I tried to give you context, but even
as they gave the contact, it still makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So he was on Maths like maybe eight years ago now,
and then afterwards he played into this kind of persona
of a reality start of like what it should be
and he was taking the piss and it was funny
for a couple of months, but then it turned bitter,
to the point that as new cast members and new
people got more headlines, he became just a troll. Then
at this reunion dinner party, so a couple of years
(08:32):
after him trolling everyone, he was at a table full
of people that hated him, and then this happened.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
NASA's talked shit about pretty much everybody at the dinner tonight.
He has said, our relationship for fake We're only in
it for fame money. He's a social media troll, and
trolls need to be called out.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Obviously.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
You say most people here hate you.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
They do. They hate me, But that's okay because you're.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
A troll, right, I'm not a troll.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You are. No, I'm not a ship.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You're a troll. Nasa just an it. You own everything
iron that you're a troll.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, I like to comment.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You heard people and.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
You said my son was born out of publicity.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
No I did not.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
My son did not.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You know what, I'm not going to put up with this.
I'm sorry. There's a whole different issue.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You should seriously lead.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You are such a liar. You are such a liar.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I don't need to put up with this ship, babe.
Do you know what the clips? Nobody's I'm a rock star,
I'm the people's celebrity. I am mister reality. I don't
need to be here so they can kiss my Arabic
hairy ass.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Whoa, So that's Nasa Okay, next scene. One of the
good things about married at first sight is it raises
these talking amongst society that we then reflect on in
our own relationships, like we'll see how things play out
between these people and more questioned like oh maybe I
should do this in my relationship of our face a
similar obstacle. But then it also makes us kind of
(10:14):
great for that we're not as tragic as these people. Yeah,
Like sometimes it's good to watch and go, wow, I
will never be that.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And that became evident a couple of years ago with
this mine called Jayden. Yeah, and he was during Confessions Week.
He had a confession for his wife, and the confession
was his ex girlfriend had previously cheated on him a
few times. Right now, you're probably thinking, well, why is
that his confession? His confessing to what he then did
(10:43):
to make him forgive her. He came back and said, well,
you've cheated on me, so this is going to happen
if you want me to forgive you.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
My ex girlfriend cheated on me. She was going on
dinner dates, movie dates, and I even had guys openly
admit to me in person and that they had to
sleep with her. I told her that I was willing
to give her another chance.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
But that's what he needs to sort his hair.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Car I'm going to sleep with her best friend whilst
she watches one of her friends agreed to do it. Interesting,
(11:33):
So after a little bit of chatting for a few days,
it happened. Do you regret that though I don't regret it?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
And then do you think that that's a healthier prone No,
So that's him confessing to her, like before they get married, now.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They're already married. This is a weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Two is a confessional, Like, is it meant to tell
the other person something about you that is a secret?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah that maybe like you know you're a shamed of
or it shows more about who you are as a
person or how you handle conflict. So that's him maybe
being like, you know, I've been cheated on. It hurt
and if it happens the end, this is what's going.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I think that shows a lot about his personality as
a response to cheating.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's quite a unique approach.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I'd say, now, you're in a relationship with a lovely
young woman, yes, but if she did happen to betray you, yes,
would this be approach? He would.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
No, it wouldn't good.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
The surprising thing there for me is that not only
did his girlfriend agree to it, but they happen to
find a best friend who would ask.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, I agree to it, which is also a bit weird,
like if you're the girl thinking my friends openly suggest
that is that a thought in her head? Or this
like before this situation happened, would she have wanted to anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And as you pointed out, his haircut doesn't make him
that desirable, not to me or you as a straight man.
But wow, if your girlfriend ever cheats and you can,
I say that because you're ginger.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Not ginger though maybe no, I'm not ginger.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
There's a.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
When my hair goes blond in the summer. It does
sometimes in light like a little bit ginger. But my
hair is brown.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Ish, brown, brownish.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
All right? Next scene, Ah, Okay, we were recently on
the Gold Coast and I introduced you to a friend
of mine.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yes, I remember she was called.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Fantastic.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Wait, let me think, for God's sake.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
She we spent the morning with her and she drove
us to a train station. Hailey, Hailey.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Sorry, I'm really bad with names.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Hailey Hailey Vernon. She was on season seven of the show.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Really lovely woman, like really really nice.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
There's not many people on the show I keep in
touch with long ter time, but like Hailey. There's something
about her that I always respected.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Now she was super nice. I remember she was very
accommodating by taking us to the train stations.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It was very nice.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Twenty minutes out, very nice of her. There's no bullshit
with Hailey. And here is probably one of her biggest scenes.
Here's the start of it, and she's calling out her
husband David at a dinner party.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I can't let David get away with what he's done.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
He wants to dance with the devil. He's got no
idea how to dance yet, So she's about to call
him out. What do you think David's done?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Has he cheered on her?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Has he been speaking to someone else?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Nah? He did like an act of revenge on her
because they weren't getting along right, So it was like
a personal thing he did against her.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Can you show me the video take a wild guest
a personal thing to her?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, this storyline and scene was the first time we've
really crossed the line of just basic human decency.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
What about the fact that David rubbed my toothbrush.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
She's got the toothbrush, She's got the toothbrush.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Oh my god, pulled my tooth brush in a toilet.
You pulled the tooth brush in a toilet, and.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You filmed it. Someone on this table has sent it
to me.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Let me get my phone.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I just discussed the video.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, Like it's just you know what I mean, Like
reality TV is meant to be funny or a bit controversial.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That is just that's human rights.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
It's just bulga. Like the fact it was allowed to
get to that point if you sent it around it
should I don't know, it just.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Feel like it should have been cooled off.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, that was the first time it felt a bit dirty.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, I think that is that is a step too far,
a cry for screen time.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yes, well, this wasn't the first tooth brush scandal and
married at first Australia. It's three years prior to that,
we met a mind called Troy.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
If you're not nervous, then you must be a sociopath.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I'm really not nervous about today at all.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I am ready to stun her.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I will stun.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Her, isn't it. I might just have one more tuna.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Each tuna brushes his teeth. Each tuna brushes his teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It was more at the time just the aggression that
tooth brush technique that Australia was like, what.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Is that eating it?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I don't know if this is normal in Australia, but
eating tune have a can with a fork before you're
going to get married is probably quite a unique person.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, he was one of the first kind of real
eccentric people we had on the and that tooth brushing
just became that's such a meme.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's a different technique that I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
And can you guess what that man, having just seen him,
what he did post show with his public profile or
tried to.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Do, did you create a toothbrush brand?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
No, he got into politics and ran for like the
mayor of the North Shore or something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
What he went.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
The next one we've got is when contestants get a
little bit more creative. So there's a couple called Brett
and Booker. They were kind of going downhill fast, and
I think she was unhappy because she felt Brett often
made everything about him right, So he come home one
afternoon and she'd covered the apartment in pictures of him
and like changed the wedding picture to him and him,
(17:55):
like kind of petty stuff. Yeah, but not just that.
She also then she's a musician. She's like, hey, Brett,
I've written a song for you. So she played the
song and here we go. This is him arriving at
the pictures Brett.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
This was the most beautiful wedding day bretton Brett, you know,
married myself.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Did you see the Brett plant? A very ship story.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Like it?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So she's a musician, yes, seems like a little thought
went into that song.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But then after that scene, she then went on tour
and here's her performer live on stage. Can you hear
the audience reaction?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yes, Oh no, that's so bad.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
The interesting thing though, is I was aware of this
lady Booker before the show because she was in a
band that I've been a fan of for years. You
want to hear that's a band called They're called Make
Them Suffer. Oh my god. Now if you listened closely,
(19:37):
she's playing the keyboard.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
She judge that song as me PTSD and trauma from
being in your car before I had the company vehicle
and having to listen to your music.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Our first month working together, go out my way to
pick you up every day. And then response, I got bitchy,
commented about my music.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Guys, his music is terrible.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And then last one there is Booker also wasn't the
first one to perform a song for their partner right.
Several years earlier in NASA season, we had a man
named Dean who is from Manly and he saw himself
as a bit of a rapper. I think his rap
name was DJ Visions, So he wrote a little rap
for his wife, Tracy.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I have actually written a rap for you about you
and me.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Pick it up to my Mandano word visions up in
a place to big.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Yo, Tracy, my little lady.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You driving me crazy after last week on the couch?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Why no, you probably hate me, but you gave me
your shot.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You're so hot, that's your brain is next level. Come
and show me what you got. We tied the knight
at first sight.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
It is so tight and when we get to talk
and go, we start up all night.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's all right, we're gonna make it through. It's just
our first fight.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
You're like, God, your back, if you got mine, we're
gonna be all right.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I'm impressed. It's better than the Bread.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Song for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So you kind of get the vibe that he's really
into it, like you.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Know, yes, of course he did.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Of course he did.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's always too good to be true, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So that's married at first Australia.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yes, I'm when's the new season starting?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I would have hoped you'd know that when starting the
end of January.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Okay, Well, I'll start tuning in and when I watch
it on Channel nine.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
We will be watching it with me, okay, because we
have a lot of content to do around it.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Okay, I'm excited job for the next that yeah, I
know it's it looks I'm excited for more raps and
songs as well.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Perhaps I could give you a challenge and you could
write a rap song to perform in the first part.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Of next year, what about you?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
But yeah, okay, I was gonna say about anything.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Okay. Do I have the risk of getting fired after.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
You can have creative freedom? Okay, But instead of doing
it the first part of next year, when you do tomorrow, okay,
because then I can just put it on the end
of this podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Challenge on, challenge on, you're going to perform it.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'm gonna have to find the time to write the wrap.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I'll try it tonight in your own time. I have
a lot of work to do today. All right, shaking
it Okay, JOSSU, we're back. It's the next morning. You
promised me a rap song.

Boss, Still Single, love Life, Ghosted, Madeaverse Sit that's crack,
shows the work, but the silence, HiT's deep, funny in
the daylight, sad when it's bleak, calls me ginger, nah mate,
get it right, hairs bro not red facts, clear the light.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Now I'm impressed. You've impressed me that you can now
come to the Christmas party. Yeah. I've got nothing else
to say to this podcast. I'm glad to the listeners
that is Jossy.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Thanks guys,
Hello, and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with
Me Joshua Fox, and today, guys, I'm going to do
something a little bit different. And as I've been preparing
for next year a season like collating my notes and
content plans, I've realized that Jossu, my young editor, videographer,
kind of junior producer, has never actually watched an episode
(00:21):
of Married at First Sight Australia in his life, which
was quite an oversight for me when I hired him,
since half his job is going to be helping with
this podcast. So for today, I thought I would bring
young Jossu one. He's twenty one, he's from England, he's
been in Australia about six months now, and I'm just
going to play him like some of the show's most
iconic or memorable or like silliest scenes, not necessarily the
(00:42):
most dramatic, but I just want to give him like
a taste of what Maths can be like when it's
at its best, and just get his reaction, because I
don't think he quite understands the show and what it entails.
He genuinely believes it's just happy people get married, a
few split up and maybe the odder fair and I'm like, mate,
(01:03):
you've got no idea. But like I said in my
recent point, I want to try to stick to more
of the funny side of things, so I'm not going
to go into like the toxic stuff at no. Actually
there is one that's a bit toxic, but this context
of that because me and Jossu recently met the bride involved.
But before I get to that and bring him in
in the most recent episode, I'd speculated about that I'm
(01:26):
a celebrity cast. According to Dally Mel, the Maths bride
who will be entering the jungle is one of the
free I guess it would be, and it is apparently
cyclone Cyrel, which if true, should be great television because
as we all know, Cyrel is not one to hold
back and she's just like when you think of like
Maths Australia, she's one of the more like iconic, memorable
(01:47):
ones of all time. So looking forward to that, and
now let me bring in Jossu. Okay, Jossu, you're back
on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
How are you good? How are you Josh?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Very well good? You've worked with me for four months.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Now, is it? Yeah? I think just over four months?
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Has it? Been a dream come true.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It has been a dream come true. It's been very good.
I've really enjoyed myself.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You something you're talking in a LinkedIn post yesterday, I
said to you, how do I compare from the very
first time we met to now? You know me?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, and I think.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I think from the first time I met you to now,
I think I've discovered a lot more about you, Josh,
in your behaviors and you're.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Emotional stability.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Okay, yep. It was funny because you mentioned something I'd forgot,
which when you applied for the job. Pedro, who listeners know,
my business partner and me and him did a first
phone interview with you, Yes, and you mentioned the fact
that Pedro and I had an argument on that phone call.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Remember I was at my old job outside on the
phone because I was looking to join somewhere new. And
then I remember speaking to you guys on the phone
and something I think Pedro said, You went, it's not
very professional, Pedro, and then Pedro proceeded to then shout
back at you on the phone, and.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Then we had an argument in front of our potentially
employee about business standards and being professional I know, And
then a few days later, we met you in the
pub for a proper interview.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And then.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Josh walked in the door and was I was twenty
minutes late for twenty minutes late, and was visibly unhappy
with his day.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
And the first thing I said was.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'm really pissed off. I'm having a bad day. Yep.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I was just letting you know what I'm like from
the very start. Yeah, and here we are about to
go into our first married well you're first married at
first SAC season.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I know, I'm excited. I've never watched the show in
my life, but which is.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Quite the issue since half the work you're going to
be doing here for the next year revolves around this show.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No, so I will be doing my homework, but I've
never watched it.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
And I want you to react. I want your honest reactions.
This is the iconic wine throw between Martha and Cyrel.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I'm going to put my drink on her.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I am, and I'll tell you right.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
No, have you ever been to a dinner party.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Like that, a big table like that, maybe once or twice.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Where people are throwing drink. I don't care about what dinner, but.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I need to know the context, why does she do it?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
These two kind of hated each other all season and
it was just escalating and escalating.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
And then but why do they hate each other?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Is it like a because on they are assigned to
specific couples, and like, how does the tension build between
these different people?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, because everyone's in their own relationship. The once a
week they have a dinner party and they all kind
of just like getting each other's business, and like, okay,
it's just it's funny. Because you asked me why they
don't like each other. I don't even remember. I just
remember they had many fights, Yeah, okay. And Cyrel was
good because she was very vocal about what she believed
in and often that pissed people off. But I appreciated
(05:32):
her brutal honesty, which you'll see in the next scene
with Cyrel. And for context of that, there was a
man called Sam and a woman called in S who
were matched with other people. They'd been having a bit
of an affair and then it all kind of came
out in the open, and Cyrel was very vocal about
her unhappiness with what they'd done, even though she had
(05:52):
no involvement, didn't affect her in the slightest and then
she said a quote in this that became like one
of the most iconic quotes from Mathsosustralia. So I want
to see if you can even pick up what the
iconic thing was.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
If I had my time over, I wouldn't have accepted
the message. I wouldn't have accepted the message from in
this and met up within us.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I do regret it. Inness, What are you laughing? You're
sitting here.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
You don't No, I am gonna scream at you.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
She's what what what? Don't disrespect me.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
You've just ruined up a marriage and you're saying that
it's morning.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Your high splinding is looking like the face of she
I feel so sorry for you.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You deserve better than that, because you deserve better than.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
That smiling to do what. You don't understand what I
need to understand you. All I know is you work
through a marriage and I sit there and just meet
up with another wife the laughing place.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
The world doesn't revolve around you said, you ain't keep dingling,
settle the down.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
You ain't king dingling.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, I thought it would be that. I can actually
quite on some of what she said.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Say it again, you ain't King dingle Ling no idea,
but it was on T shirts.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Followed King Dingling.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I think it means that you think you're like the guy.
So maybe next time you're getting a bit carried away
in the office and I need to put you in
your place. Just King Dingling, get back to editing now.
The next clip I'm going to show you is from
maybe like four years ago. They did a Maths All
star reunion where they brought back some of the bigger
(07:40):
personalities for one off dinner parties so we could catch
up with their journey's post show, when in reality, they
just brought back people that were going to fight. Okay,
and you're going to see in this a man that
we recently bumped into in Bondai.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh yes, I remember.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And this man he was walking up to people saying he.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Is, oh, the most famous man in Australia and.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
You turned to me and went, who is it? Yeah,
and then I tried to give you context, but even
as they gave the contact, it still makes no sense.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
So he was on Maths like maybe eight years ago now,
and then afterwards he played into this kind of persona
of a reality start of like what it should be
and he was taking the piss and it was funny
for a couple of months, but then it turned bitter,
to the point that as new cast members and new
people got more headlines, he became just a troll. Then
at this reunion dinner party, so a couple of years
(08:32):
after him trolling everyone, he was at a table full
of people that hated him, and then this happened.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
NASA's talked shit about pretty much everybody at the dinner tonight.
He has said, our relationship for fake We're only in
it for fame money. He's a social media troll, and
trolls need to be called out.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Obviously.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
You say most people here hate you.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
They do. They hate me, But that's okay because you're.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
A troll, right, I'm not a troll.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
You are. No, I'm not a ship.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
You're a troll. Nasa just an it. You own everything
iron that you're a troll.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, I like to comment.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You heard people and.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
You said my son was born out of publicity.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
No I did not.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
My son did not.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You know what, I'm not going to put up with this.
I'm sorry. There's a whole different issue.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You should seriously lead.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You are such a liar. You are such a liar.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I don't need to put up with this ship, babe.
Do you know what the clips? Nobody's I'm a rock star,
I'm the people's celebrity. I am mister reality. I don't
need to be here so they can kiss my Arabic
hairy ass.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Whoa, So that's Nasa Okay, next scene. One of the
good things about married at first sight is it raises
these talking amongst society that we then reflect on in
our own relationships, like we'll see how things play out
between these people and more questioned like oh maybe I
should do this in my relationship of our face a
similar obstacle. But then it also makes us kind of
(10:14):
great for that we're not as tragic as these people. Yeah,
Like sometimes it's good to watch and go, wow, I
will never be that.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And that became evident a couple of years ago with
this mine called Jayden. Yeah, and he was during Confessions Week.
He had a confession for his wife, and the confession
was his ex girlfriend had previously cheated on him a
few times. Right now, you're probably thinking, well, why is
that his confession? His confessing to what he then did
(10:43):
to make him forgive her. He came back and said, well,
you've cheated on me, so this is going to happen
if you want me to forgive you.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
My ex girlfriend cheated on me. She was going on
dinner dates, movie dates, and I even had guys openly
admit to me in person and that they had to
sleep with her. I told her that I was willing
to give her another chance.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
But that's what he needs to sort his hair.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Car I'm going to sleep with her best friend whilst
she watches one of her friends agreed to do it. Interesting,
(11:33):
So after a little bit of chatting for a few days,
it happened. Do you regret that though I don't regret it?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
And then do you think that that's a healthier prone No,
So that's him confessing to her, like before they get married, now.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
They're already married. This is a weekend.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Two is a confessional, Like, is it meant to tell
the other person something about you that is a secret?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah that maybe like you know you're a shamed of
or it shows more about who you are as a
person or how you handle conflict. So that's him maybe
being like, you know, I've been cheated on. It hurt
and if it happens the end, this is what's going.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I think that shows a lot about his personality as
a response to cheating.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's quite a unique approach.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I'd say, now, you're in a relationship with a lovely
young woman, yes, but if she did happen to betray you, yes,
would this be approach? He would.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
No, it wouldn't good.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
The surprising thing there for me is that not only
did his girlfriend agree to it, but they happen to
find a best friend who would ask.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, I agree to it, which is also a bit weird,
like if you're the girl thinking my friends openly suggest
that is that a thought in her head? Or this
like before this situation happened, would she have wanted to anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And as you pointed out, his haircut doesn't make him
that desirable, not to me or you as a straight man.
But wow, if your girlfriend ever cheats and you can,
I say that because you're ginger.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Not ginger though maybe no, I'm not ginger.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
There's a.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
When my hair goes blond in the summer. It does
sometimes in light like a little bit ginger. But my
hair is brown.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Ish, brown, brownish.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
All right? Next scene, Ah, Okay, we were recently on
the Gold Coast and I introduced you to a friend
of mine.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yes, I remember she was called.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Fantastic.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Wait, let me think, for God's sake.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
She we spent the morning with her and she drove
us to a train station. Hailey, Hailey.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Sorry, I'm really bad with names.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Hailey Hailey Vernon. She was on season seven of the show.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Really lovely woman, like really really nice.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
There's not many people on the show I keep in
touch with long ter time, but like Hailey. There's something
about her that I always respected.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Now she was super nice. I remember she was very
accommodating by taking us to the train stations.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It was very nice.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Twenty minutes out, very nice of her. There's no bullshit
with Hailey. And here is probably one of her biggest scenes.
Here's the start of it, and she's calling out her
husband David at a dinner party.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I can't let David get away with what he's done.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
He wants to dance with the devil. He's got no
idea how to dance yet, So she's about to call
him out. What do you think David's done?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Has he cheered on her?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Has he been speaking to someone else?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Nah? He did like an act of revenge on her
because they weren't getting along right, So it was like
a personal thing he did against her.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Can you show me the video take a wild guest
a personal thing to her?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, this storyline and scene was the first time we've
really crossed the line of just basic human decency.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
What about the fact that David rubbed my toothbrush.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
She's got the toothbrush, She's got the toothbrush.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Oh my god, pulled my tooth brush in a toilet.
You pulled the tooth brush in a toilet, and.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You filmed it. Someone on this table has sent it
to me.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Let me get my phone.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I just discussed the video.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, Like it's just you know what I mean, Like
reality TV is meant to be funny or a bit controversial.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That is just that's human rights.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
It's just bulga. Like the fact it was allowed to
get to that point if you sent it around it
should I don't know, it just.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Feel like it should have been cooled off.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, that was the first time it felt a bit dirty.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, I think that is that is a step too far,
a cry for screen time.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yes, well, this wasn't the first tooth brush scandal and
married at first Australia. It's three years prior to that,
we met a mind called Troy.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
If you're not nervous, then you must be a sociopath.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I'm really not nervous about today at all.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I am ready to stun her.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I will stun.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Her, isn't it. I might just have one more tuna.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Each tuna brushes his teeth. Each tuna brushes his teeth.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It was more at the time just the aggression that
tooth brush technique that Australia was like, what.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Is that eating it?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I don't know if this is normal in Australia, but
eating tune have a can with a fork before you're
going to get married is probably quite a unique person.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, he was one of the first kind of real
eccentric people we had on the and that tooth brushing
just became that's such a meme.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's a different technique that I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
And can you guess what that man, having just seen him,
what he did post show with his public profile or
tried to.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Do, did you create a toothbrush brand?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
No, he got into politics and ran for like the
mayor of the North Shore or something like that.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
What he went.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
The next one we've got is when contestants get a
little bit more creative. So there's a couple called Brett
and Booker. They were kind of going downhill fast, and
I think she was unhappy because she felt Brett often
made everything about him right, So he come home one
afternoon and she'd covered the apartment in pictures of him
and like changed the wedding picture to him and him,
(17:55):
like kind of petty stuff. Yeah, but not just that.
She also then she's a musician. She's like, hey, Brett,
I've written a song for you. So she played the
song and here we go. This is him arriving at
the pictures Brett.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
This was the most beautiful wedding day bretton Brett, you know,
married myself.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Did you see the Brett plant? A very ship story.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Like it?
Speaker 3 (18:46):
So she's a musician, yes, seems like a little thought
went into that song.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But then after that scene, she then went on tour
and here's her performer live on stage. Can you hear
the audience reaction?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yes, Oh no, that's so bad.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
The interesting thing though, is I was aware of this
lady Booker before the show because she was in a
band that I've been a fan of for years. You
want to hear that's a band called They're called Make
Them Suffer. Oh my god. Now if you listened closely,
(19:37):
she's playing the keyboard.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
She judge that song as me PTSD and trauma from
being in your car before I had the company vehicle
and having to listen to your music.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Our first month working together, go out my way to
pick you up every day. And then response, I got bitchy,
commented about my music.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Guys, his music is terrible.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
And then last one there is Booker also wasn't the
first one to perform a song for their partner right.
Several years earlier in NASA season, we had a man
named Dean who is from Manly and he saw himself
as a bit of a rapper. I think his rap
name was DJ Visions, So he wrote a little rap
for his wife, Tracy.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I have actually written a rap for you about you
and me.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Pick it up to my Mandano word visions up in
a place to big.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Yo, Tracy, my little lady.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You driving me crazy after last week on the couch?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Why no, you probably hate me, but you gave me
your shot.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You're so hot, that's your brain is next level. Come
and show me what you got. We tied the knight
at first sight.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
It is so tight and when we get to talk
and go, we start up all night.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's all right, we're gonna make it through. It's just
our first fight.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
You're like, God, your back, if you got mine, we're
gonna be all right.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I'm impressed. It's better than the Bread.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Song for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So you kind of get the vibe that he's really
into it, like you.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Know, yes, of course he did.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Of course he did.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's always too good to be true, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So that's married at first Australia.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yes, I'm when's the new season starting?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I would have hoped you'd know that when starting the
end of January.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Okay, Well, I'll start tuning in and when I watch
it on Channel nine.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
We will be watching it with me, okay, because we
have a lot of content to do around it.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Okay, I'm excited job for the next that yeah, I
know it's it looks I'm excited for more raps and
songs as well.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Perhaps I could give you a challenge and you could
write a rap song to perform in the first part.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Of next year, what about you?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
But yeah, okay, I was gonna say about anything.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Okay. Do I have the risk of getting fired after.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
You can have creative freedom? Okay, But instead of doing
it the first part of next year, when you do tomorrow, okay,
because then I can just put it on the end
of this podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Challenge on, challenge on, you're going to perform it.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I'm gonna have to find the time to write the wrap.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I'll try it tonight in your own time. I have
a lot of work to do today. All right, shaking
it Okay, JOSSU, we're back. It's the next morning. You
promised me a rap song.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
