Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with
me Joshua Farkson. Today, for once, I have no idea
what's coming in this podcast. And before we get into it,
you may have noticed I've been a little quiet lately.
I've had no more like tiktoks, crashing, filming or anything.
And that's because i've been traveling Australia. I can't say why, yeah, uh,
(00:22):
Pedro can I No? No, they'd say, Let's just say
I'm working on, Yes, something I've dreamt of making for
years now, dreamt this is the biggest passion project I've
ever had. You know that. I know it's finally happening,
finally got financing and backing and investors. And maybe I've
said too much, but all will be revealed soon. But
(00:44):
what I'm trying to say is I've been so busy
and out the Maths loop doing that that my usual sources.
I've said, Look, I still want the gossip, but I'm
a bit busy. So message Pedro, yes, and my phone
has blown up and I've got no idea what's happened.
But apparently something big has happened on set of this
next year season. All right, So what is the big incident?
(01:08):
What's happened?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
So things got so hectic at one of the recent
commitment ceremonies that it wasn't just the cast kicking off
at each other, but John Aiken, your mate, stood up
ranting the boss of the entire show had to get
involved Tara, you know her, and they can never air
any of this on TV.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Wait, why like that sounds my drama if job's kicking off?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Because the incident that this all relates back to, and
the person in the middle of all of this that
essentially divided the entire cast is guess who you?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Josh? Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
You so, I've been away for five weeks. Yeah, but okay,
let me take you back in time music.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Remember I remember like five weeks ago when you ended
up with the entire cast of the new season. Yeah,
when they went rogue and you ended up seeing them
on like a secret night out they had.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah. So background context for anyone who's not listened to
that podcast is this was maybe three weeks into filming
for the current season, after they'd all moved in together. Finally,
after the first dinner party the first weekend, they were
left alone because they don't film on weekends, Like producers
waved them off on a Friday, and you know, say
hello again on a Monday. And they're given strict rules.
(02:27):
Don't hang out together, don't go out together, don't mingle.
They've got like people monitoring the corridors, but they kind
of found a way to sneak past them, and the
cast all had a night out in Bondai Icebergs. I
was tipped off that, hey, the whole mass caster of here.
I popped along thinking how they film in what's going on?
Just to check it out, as you know, I've got
my sauces everywhere. And then oh my god, that night
(02:51):
it was a mess, outrageously rogue, and they weren't filming
for the show. It was clear as soon as I
got there, like this was an unoffer as night. If
producers were there, they would have been shocked the way
they do this right.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And then I let her get together during filming, and then.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I arrived and then everyone's shocked to see me. Then
I'm like, well, you're screaming where the new Mass cast
in a place in the middle of Bonda. Of course
that's gonna make it way back to me. Then there
was paparazzi outside, and then the cast for I'd done
them dirty by bringing the paparazzi even though I didn't
know what was happening myself. And then like, oh and
(03:25):
then there was the guy who then was making threatening
phone calls.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, it was that guy.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
He was called Chris. And then like I went to
the police over there, and it's just that night, it
was just chaos to a new level. And then since
then I've been like away out of Sydney.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Did we ever talk about this guy? What's his problem?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
He just I don't get it. Because there was a
pop outside the biggest hot spot in BONDI obviously there's
a pop. All the casts were in there, I could
you know. They weren't discreete like having a quiet drink.
They were basically screaming where the New Mass cast like
look at us, and then they get popped leaving. And
then as soon as that photographer start taking pictures, the
cast were like, oh fuck, producers are going to find
out what we've done. So who did they blame? Josh
(04:06):
must be Josh. Josh has done his dirty. I don't
know you to do your dirty. Also, you're the cast
of Maths.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So he thinks it's all your fault. You're to blame.
He's card you, he's yeah, said whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Ditched them up? To set them up? I was like,
I didn't even know you were going out. I didn't
know what was happening.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Also, you don't make you didn't make them go there.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Also, they're on maths. They phoned the paps every time
they breathe, like, why go in maths if you don't
to be papped? Anyway, I apparently became public enemy number
one after that because they all needed someone to blame
because they got in trouble for producers. And that's the
last I've heard of it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Right, Well, let me do you want to read you
some text messages from my sources, my insiders.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yeah, so this is essentially everything that happened since then.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Oh broke. And I just tell you, ever since you've
given me the details of these sources, I've loved it.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
I get like, just gossip come to me so randomly.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, you just get like a what I'm like, and
it's juicy.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
It's so good.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I love this job and my life has felt so
much light since passed that contact. Like, I love the intel.
Don't get me wrong, but like, it's nice to just
have freedom again.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I'm happy to take it.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Okay, okay, So this is this is one text. They're
a bit long, so bear with me. Okay, I'll read
it word for word from my inside.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
All right, So this is what happened in the wake
of that night out.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yes, so yeah, this is the Should I change my
voice for this?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah? Audio, dress it up a bit, radio theater.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, that night bro fucked everything.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Friendships fell apart, couples fell apart. Scenes no longer made
sense because dynamics had changed between everyone.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Oh it's just let me interrupt there for anyone who
doesn't understand that the issue of reality television there is.
For example, producers finished filming that week on a Friday
and said, okay, everyone have a quiet weekend. We'll pick
up on Monday. And when they pick up on Monday,
they expect everything still the same, like friendships, dynamics, relationships.
But then I assume, given what happened on that night out,
(06:01):
everything changed, yes, right, So then.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
So I'll continue on the same next message.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
The morning after, producers made everyone film diary cams like
iPhone videos, basically saying they had a night out and
that people fell out, but in every diary cam they
all mentioned you as in you Josh, not me, Pedro,
and they will obviously never mention you on the.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Show because they hate you. That's you, not me.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So producers then had to try and figure out how
to bring what happened onto the show, but not actually
really what happened.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, So they basically producers on that slender mine and
would have been cold in and be like, oh, fuck,
everything's changed, And then everyone was blaming Josh for the
reasons everyone's fallen out.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
They've concluded your names in their recordings.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes, So when that's how to do the diary comes,
everyone's like, well, we had a night out and Josh
turned up and then happened, and then we blame Josh.
But then we're trying to figure out who leaked to
Josh and then and then I suppose they can't use
any of that because I've never mentioned Josh on the show.
So producers have probably then gone, how the fuck we
explain everything change in we've actually said the word Josh.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay and I quote Josh. You has given them the
biggest drama of the season, and they have no idea
how to explain it on TV without mentioning Josh. Okay, Then,
at one of the commitment ceremonies, as one of the
briars was sat doing her thing on the sofa with
her husband, another groom just stands up and goes, she's
(07:38):
the one who's been leaking things to Josh. This has
been recorded during a commitment ceremony. And then everything just exploded.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I don't know what to say. I'm like, how's this?
How can me essentially doing nothing just my presence and existence?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Also, you're not the only person covering math surely, yeah,
like perhaps and everything right daily may or like they're
all into that shit. Josh, this is stressing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You just attract trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Am I going to be I was gonna say I'm
gonna be hated when it has, but.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
You already hated. No, Okay, it continues, Hang on, there's more.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Brother John Aikin stood up, fuming you'd be mentioned because
obviously he hates you. He's like, no one mentioned Josh,
never mentioned Josh.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That's John Aiken. Bro, You're like fifty four years old.
What are you doing? You're not a school principal. Leave
these people alone.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Oh God, you know like this guy John Aikin, he's
like one of those you know, like you're not into
conspiracy theories. That's not it's not gonna make sense to you,
and go on try me na, like you know how
they say like the deep state was running Joe Biden.
Joe Biden was never really the president or present. It
was like he was being handled.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You've lost me.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
There's a deeper there's a deep state, bigger powers. That's
John Aken. He's like the deep state of maths, or
he thinks he is.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And I'll just say for anyone a bit behind John Well,
I'm guessing dislikes me because of that video last year
when the show got very heavy last year with the
domestic violence and people wanted answers. So I just approached
him as a journalist, taking inspiration from Channel nine second
biggest show, Our Current Affair, and I say, hey, John,
do you believe what you do on that show goes
against the principles of being a psychologist? And did he
(09:19):
like that? He bitched it, He ran away from me,
then patronized, then sent me a legal letter for daring
to question him. God, okay, so that makes sense that
John dislikes me? What else? What else have them that night?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh okay, there's another text Tara the big boss.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, Tara, who also I assume doesn't like me.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
She hates you.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
They she had to step in and she's raging. She's
raging when she steps in. So this is the quote.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Josh is not part of his show.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Never mentioned Josh. If you even speak to Josh, you'll
be kicked off. Fucking girl.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
That was Tara.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So I reckon today you should text all the cast
members and then post greenshots of you talking to them.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
So they all get fired and they have no show.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
But next to you, I just I'm in disbelief. How
me doing the bare minimum of just covering this show.
Let me remind everyone that the cast members gravitate to me.
I'm not chasing them, going you're gonna work with me?
Tell me these things They come to me every year.
Already happened weeks one week into this year's production. My
phone's blown up. They're coming to me because they know
(10:25):
I can help them get the fame they want, the
exposure they want. So I'm sorry to u, Taras and
you John's, but if you purposely cast people, you know
crave fame, attention, and followers. You can't then reprimand them
for seeking ways to get that through people like me
on alongside the show. And then also, I'm sorry, but
(10:49):
have more control over things. If me attending a night
out briefly can derail your entire season, then I don't
know you're doing your job very well.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
The answer is no, but like fuck, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I can't believe this is happening. To be honest, I
just want to see it on TV. I want to
see these iPhone cams a piece of cameras they did
on their iPhones.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I want to see how they're going to patch it up.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Would this make sense because one of the other Sausage
did message me briefly last week saying, Bro, there's still
a hunt on to find out who's the leak and
who's speaking to Josh and they were in playing that.
Like the cast members that were friends have alterned on
each other accusing them of speaking to me, And do
(11:35):
you want to know who the leak is?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Okay, tell us the name. It's everybody everyone what the
cast members?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I'm not saying every cast member, but like, wait, are
you only saying cast or is it someone in production.
It's everyone everywhere. That's the beauty of this show. Anyone
involved in at any level. We're talking cast members, runners,
production caterers, people that work in the building. They staying
like someone who works in a chicken shop around the
corner from the bird and be like, bro, you never
(12:05):
guess what I've seen them filming. Like this show is
so big and so many people love to hate it
that they love the idea of being able to like
twist it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Even pedestrians walking part like to be fair, most people
just walking part.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Fine because people walking past. The first wedding I went
to this year was a woman walking a dog who
follows me on Instagram. I was like, oh my god,
I've seen them setting up a wedding in Centennial Park. Josh,
it must be Maths go So I went. It was
so it's funny that this this there's this hunt for
like who's the league, who's the single person. There's no
single person. It's a collective group of essentially the entire public.
(12:42):
This is great.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I love that last line.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What was it If you even speak to Josh, you'll
be kicked off.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Hmm. So there will be no show next year By
the by that line.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah, it's great to say that the entire season seems
to be centered around me, not that I'll ever be mentioned,
And yeah, I look forward to seeing how they turn
this into TV.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
All right, well, are you happy with the update?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, I'm happy, but I'm also a bit stressed out.
But it's just this idea that a commitment ceremony, which
is like, you know, one of the biggest nights every
week on the show, that they can pause recording and
cut all the cameras to have this whole thing about me.
Like you imagine, like we're talking, there's a hundred people
on that set. It's not just the cast and the producers. This,
the sound is the runner, is the runners, that everything.
(13:33):
Imagine everyone's stopping their work.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Bro, I wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Surprised if Channel nine or end them all just gave
you a million dollars and just said, fuck off, don't come,
don't touch the shit, don't come and film, just leave it.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Do you reckon the deal? Like pay me to never
mention the show again, never crash anything, never spoiler storyline,
every cast.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
How much would you take? How much would it take
for you to stop everything?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Well, I'm upen to offers. Give us a number, cost
of living crisis at the minute, Give.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Us a number honestly and wait, wait, and consider my
car too well, and then consider a ten percent cart
for me for doing what?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
We getting messages from the sauce.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Straight hosting helping?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Ten percent? Not much?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, if we say Maths Funny is a brand, like
I suppose it is e when that sounds cringy to say,
like I have a brand, and then I suppose the
reach it has. Lastly, yeah, we did one hundred million
video views and millions of podcast downloads. Okay, so that
has to be worth something for them to take off.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Let's go one cent perview, So you're talking one hundred million,
one cent times million.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
It's a million dollars, all right, imagine they paid me off. Yeah,
and then Maths twenty two pops up and it's just you.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
No, I'll never do it.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Okay, So one million dollars, but we'll add one hundred
k to that. So one point one million dollars to
end this whole thing, right now, I'll take a hundred
you take the mill Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I mean I know it's talking about I'm still unsure
why you no, no.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
This isn't hypothetical. I'm sending a message to Channel nine.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay, fantastic, goodbye,
Hello, and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with
me Joshua Farkson. Today, for once, I have no idea
what's coming in this podcast. And before we get into it,
you may have noticed I've been a little quiet lately.
I've had no more like tiktoks, crashing, filming or anything.
And that's because i've been traveling Australia. I can't say why, yeah, uh,
(00:22):
Pedro can I No? No, they'd say, Let's just say
I'm working on, Yes, something I've dreamt of making for
years now, dreamt this is the biggest passion project I've
ever had. You know that. I know it's finally happening,
finally got financing and backing and investors. And maybe I've
said too much, but all will be revealed soon. But
(00:44):
what I'm trying to say is I've been so busy
and out the Maths loop doing that that my usual sources.
I've said, Look, I still want the gossip, but I'm
a bit busy. So message Pedro, yes, and my phone
has blown up and I've got no idea what's happened.
But apparently something big has happened on set of this
next year season. All right, So what is the big incident?
(01:08):
What's happened?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
So things got so hectic at one of the recent
commitment ceremonies that it wasn't just the cast kicking off
at each other, but John Aiken, your mate, stood up
ranting the boss of the entire show had to get
involved Tara, you know her, and they can never air
any of this on TV.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Wait, why like that sounds my drama if job's kicking off?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Because the incident that this all relates back to, and
the person in the middle of all of this that
essentially divided the entire cast is guess who you?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Josh? Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
You so, I've been away for five weeks. Yeah, but okay,
let me take you back in time music.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Remember I remember like five weeks ago when you ended
up with the entire cast of the new season. Yeah,

Yeah. So background context for anyone who's not listened to
that podcast is this was maybe three weeks into filming
for the current season, after they'd all moved in together. Finally,
after the first dinner party the first weekend, they were
left alone because they don't film on weekends, Like producers
waved them off on a Friday, and you know, say
hello again on a Monday. And they're given strict rules.
(02:27):
Don't hang out together, don't go out together, don't mingle.
They've got like people monitoring the corridors, but they kind

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Also, you don't make you didn't make them go there.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Also, they're on maths. They phoned the paps every time
they breathe, like, why go in maths if you don't
to be papped? Anyway, I apparently became public enemy number

iPhone videos, basically saying they had a night out and
that people fell out, but in every diary cam they
all mentioned you as in you Josh, not me, Pedro,
and they will obviously never mention you on the.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Show because they hate you. That's you, not me.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
So producers then had to try and figure out how
to bring what happened onto the show, but not actually
really what happened.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, So they basically producers on that slender mine and
would have been cold in and be like, oh, fuck,
everything's changed, And then everyone was blaming Josh for the
reasons everyone's fallen out.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
They've concluded your names in their recordings.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes, So when that's how to do the diary comes,
everyone's like, well, we had a night out and Josh
turned up and then happened, and then we blame Josh.
But then we're trying to figure out who leaked to
Josh and then and then I suppose they can't use
any of that because I've never mentioned Josh on the show.
So producers have probably then gone, how the fuck we
explain everything change in we've actually said the word Josh.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay and I quote Josh. You has given them the
biggest drama of the season, and they have no idea
how to explain it on TV without mentioning Josh. Okay, Then,
at one of the commitment ceremonies, as one of the
briars was sat doing her thing on the sofa with
her husband, another groom just stands up and goes, she's
(07:38):
the one who's been leaking things to Josh. This has
been recorded during a commitment ceremony. And then everything just exploded.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I don't know what to say. I'm like, how's this?
How can me essentially doing nothing just my presence and existence?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Also, you're not the only person covering math surely, yeah,
like perhaps and everything right daily may or like they're
all into that shit. Josh, this is stressing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You just attract trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Bro?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Am I going to be I was gonna say I'm
gonna be hated when it has, but.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
You already hated. No, Okay, it continues, Hang on, there's more.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Brother John Aikin stood up, fuming you'd be mentioned because
obviously he hates you. He's like, no one mentioned Josh,
never mentioned Josh.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That's John Aiken. Bro, You're like fifty four years old.
What are you doing? You're not a school principal. Leave
these people alone.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Oh God, you know like this guy John Aikin, he's
like one of those you know, like you're not into
conspiracy theories. That's not it's not gonna make sense to you,
and go on try me na, like you know how
they say like the deep state was running Joe Biden.
Joe Biden was never really the president or present. It
was like he was being handled.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You've lost me.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
There's a deeper there's a deep state, bigger powers. That's
John Aken. He's like the deep state of maths, or
he thinks he is.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
And I'll just say for anyone a bit behind John Well,
I'm guessing dislikes me because of that video last year
when the show got very heavy last year with the
domestic violence and people wanted answers. So I just approached
him as a journalist, taking inspiration from Channel nine second
biggest show, Our Current Affair, and I say, hey, John,
do you believe what you do on that show goes
against the principles of being a psychologist? And did he
(09:19):
like that? He bitched it, He ran away from me,
then patronized, then sent me a legal letter for daring
to question him. God, okay, so that makes sense that
John dislikes me? What else? What else have them that night?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh okay, there's another text Tara the big boss.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, Tara, who also I assume doesn't like me.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
She hates you.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
They she had to step in and she's raging. She's
raging when she steps in. So this is the quote.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Josh is not part of his show.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Never mentioned Josh. If you even speak to Josh, you'll
be kicked off. Fucking girl.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
That was Tara.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So I reckon today you should text all the cast
members and then post greenshots of you talking to them.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
So they all get fired and they have no show.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
But next to you, I just I'm in disbelief. How
me doing the bare minimum of just covering this show.
Let me remind everyone that the cast members gravitate to me.
I'm not chasing them, going you're gonna work with me?
Tell me these things They come to me every year.
Already happened weeks one week into this year's production. My
phone's blown up. They're coming to me because they know
(10:25):
I can help them get the fame they want, the
exposure they want. So I'm sorry to u, Taras and
you John's, but if you purposely cast people, you know
crave fame, attention, and followers. You can't then reprimand them
for seeking ways to get that through people like me
on alongside the show. And then also, I'm sorry, but
(10:49):
have more control over things. If me attending a night
out briefly can derail your entire season, then I don't
know you're doing your job very well.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
The answer is no, but like fuck, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I can't believe this is happening. To be honest, I
just want to see it on TV. I want to
see these iPhone cams a piece of cameras they did
on their iPhones.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I want to see how they're going to patch it up.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Would this make sense because one of the other Sausage
did message me briefly last week saying, Bro, there's still
a hunt on to find out who's the leak and
who's speaking to Josh and they were in playing that.
Like the cast members that were friends have alterned on
each other accusing them of speaking to me, And do
(11:35):
you want to know who the leak is?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Okay, tell us the name. It's everybody everyone what the
cast members?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I'm not saying every cast member, but like, wait, are
you only saying cast or is it someone in production.
It's everyone everywhere. That's the beauty of this show. Anyone
involved in at any level. We're talking cast members, runners,
production caterers, people that work in the building. They staying
like someone who works in a chicken shop around the
corner from the bird and be like, bro, you never
(12:05):
guess what I've seen them filming. Like this show is
so big and so many people love to hate it
that they love the idea of being able to like
twist it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Even pedestrians walking part like to be fair, most people
just walking part.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Fine because people walking past. The first wedding I went
to this year was a woman walking a dog who
follows me on Instagram. I was like, oh my god,
I've seen them setting up a wedding in Centennial Park. Josh,
it must be Maths go So I went. It was
so it's funny that this this there's this hunt for
like who's the league, who's the single person. There's no
single person. It's a collective group of essentially the entire public.
(12:42):
This is great.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I love that last line.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What was it If you even speak to Josh, you'll
be kicked off.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Hmm. So there will be no show next year By
the by that line.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah, it's great to say that the entire season seems
to be centered around me, not that I'll ever be mentioned,
And yeah, I look forward to seeing how they turn
this into TV.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
All right, well, are you happy with the update?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, I'm happy, but I'm also a bit stressed out.
But it's just this idea that a commitment ceremony, which
is like, you know, one of the biggest nights every
week on the show, that they can pause recording and
cut all the cameras to have this whole thing about me.
Like you imagine, like we're talking, there's a hundred people
on that set. It's not just the cast and the producers. This,
the sound is the runner, is the runners, that everything.
(13:33):
Imagine everyone's stopping their work.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Bro, I wouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Surprised if Channel nine or end them all just gave
you a million dollars and just said, fuck off, don't come,
don't touch the shit, don't come and film, just leave it.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Do you reckon the deal? Like pay me to never
mention the show again, never crash anything, never spoiler storyline,
every cast.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
How much would you take? How much would it take
for you to stop everything?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Well, I'm upen to offers. Give us a number, cost
of living crisis at the minute, Give.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Us a number honestly and wait, wait, and consider my
car too well, and then consider a ten percent cart
for me for doing what?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Come on?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
We getting messages from the sauce.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Straight hosting helping?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Ten percent? Not much?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, if we say Maths Funny is a brand, like
I suppose it is e when that sounds cringy to say,
like I have a brand, and then I suppose the
reach it has. Lastly, yeah, we did one hundred million
video views and millions of podcast downloads. Okay, so that
has to be worth something for them to take off.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Let's go one cent perview, So you're talking one hundred million,
one cent times million.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
It's a million dollars, all right, imagine they paid me off. Yeah,
and then Maths twenty two pops up and it's just you.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
No, I'll never do it.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Okay, So one million dollars, but we'll add one hundred
k to that. So one point one million dollars to
end this whole thing, right now, I'll take a hundred
you take the mill Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I mean I know it's talking about I'm still unsure
why you no, no.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
This isn't hypothetical. I'm sending a message to Channel nine.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay, fantastic, goodbye,
