Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome back to the Maths Phony podcast with
me Joshua Fox, and as expected, this year's cast are
already becoming very messy and making it clear who they
do like, who they don't like, and who they no
longer want to pretend that they like, and some are
even calling in lawyers to silence their critics. Before I
get to all the drama, though, I want to start
(00:21):
this podcast with some happy news, as they are now
free of the experiment and just another regular couple out
there in the real world. A world of firsts awaits
them as a couple, you know, like first overseas trip,
first mortgage together, first baby eventually, but for now, they've
(00:41):
just done their first couple's brand endorsement.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Take a listen to this.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's only been a short amount of time, but I'm
so in love with him.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I wasn't sure how do we go living together, but
it's been.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Perfect so far.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
There's nothing I love more than cuddling up on the
couch with him.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Who knew walks in sunds.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It would be my favorite part of the day.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
The experts have done such a good job matching as,
haven't they.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Coo, boy, do you want to fall in love at
first sight Adoctor greyhound today at gap dot giv dot
org dot au.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Now I'm not sure if they've actually adopted a dog together,
which is exciting, you know, because that is a big
step as a couple, or they've just been paid to
pretend they've adopted one so they can promote greyhound adoption.
Either way, I mean it's progressed as a couple, right
and exciting also just quickly every year I see people
kind of calling out cast members when they start to
maybe monetize their new phone following, you know, with adverts.
(01:42):
I don't even know if Jeff and Ree were paid
for that. I assume they're worth they might not have been,
but you know, we get to this point where people
will start promoting things on socials and you know what,
I say, let them, And I sound like that Mel
Robins chick.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Let them.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So I've been using this thing called the let them theory.
I love this.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I want you to try it.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Here's how it works.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Let them.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And that's because you know, like, think of everything they've
been through the experiment, the pressures, the backlash, the trolling.
If they can now make a bit of coin, then
let them, Because I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Nine have made millions and millions and millions.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Off the back of them, and they were all paid
what I think it won twenty one hundred and.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Thirty dollars a day throughout the experiment.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
So now if someone comes to them and goes, yo,
I'll give you a couple of thousand dollars to pretend
to adopt the greyhound, then let them anyway over to
the drama now, and a lot of it is centered
around Dave. So firstly, after the show ended, he did
what many of the cast have not been able to do,
which is log Channel nine out of all of his socials,
regain control, say see you later to the shit they're posting,
(02:43):
and now he's just posting present day stuff despite the
fact that the show is still airing internationally, which basically
means he's spoiled everything for the UK fans.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
But not only that.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
As spotted by Yahoo Lifestyle earlier this week, when Dave
did regain control of his account, the first thing he
did was unfollowed a handful of cast members, making it
clear who he's friends with and who he's very much over,
and amongst those he got rid of was his ex Jamie.
And if you're wondering will Jamie be upset by this?
(03:15):
I don't think so, judging by what she told this
podcast at that recent reunion viewing party.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And if Dave was here tonight, what would just say
to him? No comments, I love that, I love that
very political view. I have nothing nice to say.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Don't say it at all.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Dave has also unfollowed Jamie's new bestie Elliott, who people
are kind of suggesting maybe you getting with Jamie, which
is not a thing. He's also unfollowed Adrian and Sierra
fair enough, and interestingly, he's unfollowed Veronica, who many people
claim was actually the catalyst for dave split from Jamie,
you know, after they got close during that weird partner
swap challenge. And if you are missing seeing Dave on
(03:54):
your TV every week, well he's now confirmed that he's
got a cameo on this year's season of The Block,
which he's currently being filmed in Melbourne, and it seems
that he was randomly contracted onto one of the sites
of the Trade for a day or something and that
may make it to TV, which is random. Now over
to the couple that Australia is still obsessed with and
(04:16):
talking about Jackie and Clint, and earlier this week they
sent a cease and desist legal letter to body language
expert Scott Taylor, who some of you may know from
Instagram and TikTok. His whole page's basically looking at footage.
It's not just of math couples, but you know, like
big celebrities on red carpets, and then he gives his
professional opinion by breaking down their non verbal communication styles.
(04:41):
And apparently in a recent clip of Jackie and Clint,
he believed that despite them talking about, you know, being
all loved up and happy, their body language suggested differently.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
So these things we've mentioned before about a lack of congruence.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
You people are saying one things from a verbal point
of view, but the nonverbals are not aligning with that.
We also need to say, if you're in a true relationship,
if there's true connection, if the main and most important
thing above all is that connection, why place or even
worry about the need for convincing people.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Just get on with the relationship.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
These whole they've been spotted pre stage things and the
other setup stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
It doesn't need to happen if the benefit is just
a relationship.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
And as that video of Scott talking about Jackie and
Clint started to gain traction, Jackie and Clint basically sent
him a legal letter that said, this letter is to
formally demand that you immediately cease and desist all forms
of harassment, defamation, and targeted character attacks directly to myself, Clint, Rice,
and Jacqueline Burfoot. Scott actually posted the letter to his socials,
(05:43):
and it went on to explain that if he doesn't
stop what they believe to be content causing them reputational
harm and distress.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They will pursue all legal remedies available.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Scott then denied attacking their character, saying, my intent with
my videos always has been and will continue to be
helping people be scholars.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I don't know that word.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'm sorry, Scott, of human connection in all its forms.
But this legal drama has not got Jackie and Clint
down though, as they're now settled back into Tazzy after
that whirlwind trip to Sydney where they got engaged, and
they're picking out baby names.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Do you wanna Okay, we've both got a baby name
picked out.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I really want to have a baby called Lovely if
she's a Girl, got Rio, Real.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
To be Lovely, Rice and Real Rice and Jason and.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Sushi and brown Jackie isn't pregnant as far as I'm aware,
They're just forward planning and genuine question is this what
straight people do in the early stages of a relationship? Like,
are you really all thinking that far ahead because of
the gay word? That is not a thing anyway. That's
pretty much all that's happened in the Maths world this week.
But before I wrap this, does anyone plan on watching
(06:55):
The Golden Bachelor later this year, which is basically just
the regular Bachelor, but on this version every one is
over fifty or sixty, which actually sounds like it's going
to be very good. I'm only asking because the first
Australian series is currently being filmed in Sydney, and fuck
the drama I'm hearing is happening onset of that show
is hectic, and it also makes Maths look kind of
(07:16):
low key.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
So I'm just putting this.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Idea out there that maybe collectively we could all get
on board with that show. Maybe I make a new page,
maybe I incorporate here. I don't know, I just know
it's filming near me. I'm going a bit of spare time.
Now Maths is over, Do I start crashing that, Do
I start getting involved?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Who knows?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I feel like now mass is over, like my life's
missing a sense of chaos.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I want to go out there and stir things up,
and maybe this is the way.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I wonder how receptive like these pensioners on that show
would be if I'm there, like shouting, hey, are you
only on here for the fame and the followers?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And they'll be like, what a followers?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I don't know, just putting the idea out there for now,
have a lovely long weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
