Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to the Math twenty podcast with
me Joshua Fox. I actually have no idea what is
about to happen in this episode. Padro, my producer and
my business partner who helps me with the podcast, has
told me to come in, sit down, press required, and
let everyone know that we're doing this on April fourteenth
for reasons I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yes, hello everyone, Now Maths is over.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
And I know you're going to keep doing your updates
on this podcast and you know all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
But I've got an idea. You've had quite.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
A hefty three months of you know, doing all the
hard work for everyone listening.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Now it's time for me to do some hard work.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah that's good, because you've really slacked it anyway, or
what are you thinking?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Okay, well you're going to marry a stranger me? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
You what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
You know how like the main comments on our Maths
posts and just in general, is that like Maths should
go back to basics and just focus on the real
life love stories and no cooked drama challenges and all that, you.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Know, Like, yeah, but I'm not going on the show ever.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
No, no, no, no, So you're just gonna marry a
stranger on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I'm gonna organize it, and it's gonna be a gay
version with you.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I don't know if you're joking.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
No, I'm not, but it's gonna be. It's gonna be
like the real Mass. We're gonna take inspiration from Mass,
but we're gonna go back to basics. I'm gonna find
a gay stranger, you're gonna marry without you knowing anything
about And literally we're gonna document the whole thing on
this podcast and on TikTok and Instagram, on sixty second
clips so that people can actually watch the whole thing
(01:44):
and stay updated, because you know how like people that
try and watch the show, they're like, oh, there's too
many episodes there an hour long.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I don't have time. I've got work. This is all
gonna be all concise in sixty seconds or less.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
So like a mini series.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yes, mini series.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Why does this have to evolve me?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Because I'm already married and I've got a baby. I
can't do what.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Just featless?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Like, oh god, I literally met someone last week. I
met the guy of Hinge a week ago.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, but he ghosted you bro' sick of hearing the
loser I mean, or sorry, not that loser.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
You sound like a loser because he ghosted.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You, he could still text back.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I've kind of just been like asking you questions without
you realizing these last few weeks to try and get
down to the exact man that you want.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Have you noticed that or not? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Just why you're showing interesting gay relationships because you.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Never have before?
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yes, see No, but before we get to that, oh yeah,
like generally, what does this entail? You say I will
marry a stranger? What he comes to the studio and.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
To explain everything?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
No, Like, is this a man who's going to come
into this booth, we stand behind the mics and go and.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
We're going to do an actual wedding. So we're gonna
do an actual wedding.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
You're going to.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Marry someone you've never seen. Then you're gonna go on
a honeymoon with them. I'm gonna send your way to
a honeymoon overseas well. Okay, settle down, we're talking. I'm
know who was the couple that got the ship holiday?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And then so yeah, you're gonna live in together. You're
gonna move in and live together. This is an actually
and where a hotel or something? Your house or his house.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I have a house mate.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I'll figure it out.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
House mate. This is I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You can and you're gonna he's gonna meet your friends
and family, you're going to meet his. It's a proper experiment,
taking inspiration from maths. And there's no there's no other couples,
there's no drama, there's no producer stirring ship, which I
would love to do. No, like I would really love
to but no, we're just gonna stick to the basics
and just let it, let it take its own course.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Almost because half the fans of this show are suppose
to say it needs to go back to basics. Yeah,
but then the other half say, if it does go
back to basics, it's boring. So I feel like I'm
a guinea pig.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Well you kind of are, but it's also because you're
so like desperate and depressed and.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You're always crying about getting ghosted and how you can't
find a man. I'm sick of it. I have to
deal with this shit every day.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, So if we do this, you say, it's what
a series on this podcast? Yeah, like mini episodes.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, with so we do just like you see on
the show.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
But is it filmed as well or is it just audio?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
No, we'll film it, and but we're not going to
drop it on YouTube like a full sixty minute episode.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It'll just be on TikTok on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So it's a mini series you can watch on Insta
and then follow the journey on podcast or vice versa.
So for example, your wedding, one video might be of
him arriving at the beautiful wedding venue and you turning
around in your initial reaction, and then the other ones
your vowels and how you react and how you kind
of take to each other, like it'll be it'll be good, bro,
(05:12):
trust me.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
If we're going to do this, it's it has to
at least have potential because I'm not putting myself.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Out there to be what.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Ridiculed and because you're going to stitch me up with
someone I'm going to hate.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I'm not going to get someone you're not into. I've
already done the research. I've I've gone past through your
past partners. Why don't you give me like your your
what's it called your criteria? Because I think I know
based on everything I've seen, but I'll give you a
chance to tell me appearance a personality, appearance, personality, just
like the main important key points to you. Well, appearance wise,
(05:51):
I mean, obviously I want someone going to be attracted to.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Now. Usually the area I'm playing.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Is South American. I don't know why it's living in
the eastern so Burbers. It's full of backpackers. Last couple
of years, give me a Brazilian and Argentina and not
not Uruguay because.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Close, that's too close to But I've got some cust
after some So if.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
You're open, I feel that the person will have rights
to live in Australia. No, but like what the last
few guys have dated were. One was Greek, one was
Lebanese and one was South American.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
So you don't you don't do the white No, I do.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Like I was married to in Australian man. But I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I think if I had to, like say, who's the
who I find the most attractive in the world, like
maybe South American with those dark featured maybe tattoos thing
for me? If I had to write a list on paper,
that's what I would dream.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
What about personality wise.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
It sounds lame, but like they just have to be nice, okay,
because like in the gay world, it can get quite
bit cheap.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I've seen involved everyone, shocked everyone.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I just want someone who's nice, maybe not part of
that drama, doesn't want that. And I think me as
a person you probably can attest to this, but I'm
quite unbalanced at best. What does that mean a little
bit up and down? Oh yes, So like it'd be
nice to have like a steady, a constant maybe when
I'm spiraling or getting stressed about things. They could be
(07:21):
the person to be like, hey, actually, Josh, you know
it's all good, it's not that serious.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Let's take a breath.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You know, that's what I do. I even remind you
to take your medication.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Okay, I'm like, oh, you're getting a too antsy, make
sure you take that pill.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, well you know, I don't have you twenty four seven. Know,
Like in a partner, I just want someone like we
balance each other out, and I know I need that
in a partner yep, not like a Cara, but like
someone who I don't know, like I know, has my
back and they're just a nice person and they're not.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
All right, Well I want it all to happen like
in present day.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Like say you got say you get married on a Monday,
then like that goes out on say Wednesday, once.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I've edited it up obviously two days after. Yeah, so
like that's where the show.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Goes wrong in real life because they wait months and
months and everyone knows the outcomes and the spoilers.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Wait, so I'd marry this dude and then I'm not
honeymoon getting denoy him and people are watching because get married.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yes, that's right, that's scary. It's all happening in real life,
real real, present day.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
That's never been done before.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
No, oh shit, this is what we're doing it.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
When would we do it?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
As soon as you say yes, then I'll find a group.
I'm going to get your consent.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
You know what I'm going to say.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, I don't pretend like you don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
But like I just I'm I trust you and believe
you say you're going to do this genuinely. But I
have that little seed of doubt that this is just
kind of backfire from men. I'm going to either end
up hurt or embarrassed. And I say that because you know,
I'm quite an emotional person. And even that guy I
spoke about recently from hings.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yes, the guy that goes to you that doesn't want
anything to do with you.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah, and like, yeah, well thanks for that.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
No, but like that person, we had a great first date,
great second date, great third date.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I finally stayed over.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
He knew that was a big thing for me to
sleep over because, like I've in the past, I've shocked
a lot of people not gonna lie, but to me,
that's meaningless sex. With this person, I thought, I want
to change that behavior. I was open with him, saying
I don't want sex to be this instant thing. I
want to build towards it. And he seemed to be
on the same page. And then I genuinely let myself
believe this could be something. And then I stayed over
(09:36):
and then never heard from him again.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
You got played.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, and like most people might struggle off and go, oh,
well this happens, but no, that has. Actually you've seen
my mood the past week like that generally impacts me.
So therefore I'm saying to you, if we're going to
do this, you have to take a level of responsibility
that you're not setting me up for like that might happen.
That's real life, that's relationship spot. Don't purposely go in
(10:02):
with the intention of a plot twist.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
No, no, no, I told you I'm not going to
do that. I promise you it'll be proper. It'll be
a proper thing.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I've listened to your investigation. You've got a dark pass.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Of mental health. I'm not going to put you in
that situation. Okay, Okay, well I only mean I only
mean well with this experiment.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So I'm literally gonna say, for example, I'm obviously going
to go to bed with this man after the wedding
and then I'm gonna wake up the next day.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Are you just going to be that Yeah, I'll just
be like I'll be staring at both of you with
a camera on good morning.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
No, but how do you feel this morning?
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Would you just be in the next room and I
text you like awake and then you come in and no,
I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Full produce mode. I'm gonna I'm gonna.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Stay there if you're not staying in the room.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
No, No, I'll let you guys sleep and I'll leave
during your sleep, but then I'll be up at five
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Well, in there. What if I want to sleep in, Well,
you can.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I'll just wait for you to wake up in the corner.
That's weird, it's not.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I'll just type away edit my stuff. It'll be sweet, bro.
I have headphones on. You won't even know I'm there.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Whenever we work of them.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
We're having some fun tall part of the Tall part
of the show.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
With you in the corner. No, I wouldn't sleep with
him the first night.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
That's right. See, I know that's why I said that,
because you said you wouldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
It depends what he looks like.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
So maybe after we record this at some point, we'll
do like your proper intro, like you know how they
do on the show, and you know all that stuff.
And then oh, because then you've got to tell your parents,
you know, we'll record you telling your mom that you're
getting married.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
She's going to fucking flip out.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And your housemate, because someone's going to be moving into
your house.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Have you spoke to him already your housemte haven't yet? Well,
I feel like he needs to kind of agree.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh, he'll be fine, he'll be fine, I hope. So,
but yeah, are you keen or not? Last chance to
say yes or no. Yes, done, We're doing it. Everyone's
clapping in their cars.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, all right, all right, good luck.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Fine, please thank you. I've tried for years and no
one sticks around.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I would need it, thank you,
