Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey guys, welcome back to the Maths 20 podcast.
Chapter 2: Why did Adrian agree to come on the podcast?
I've got to be very quick right now because Adrian is on his way here, which I never thought I'd be saying. At the start of the season, I kind of put a message out to most of the cashers saying, hey, if you ever hear anything on the podcast that is factually incorrect, like happily let me know or come on and clarify. Like, I don't want to be just spreading fake shit.
And I also think everyone deserves at least one chance to maybe get their side over or defend themselves or whatever, regardless of my personal opinion of them and Edwin, who is the one I've obviously gone hardest against this season because I would say I personally dislike him the most, finally responded to that message this morning saying, yeah, bro, I'll come on.
And like, I couldn't really say, nah, you're all right. Because as I said, my whole thing is I will give everyone one chance. So yeah, he's going to be here any minute. And I'm feeling a bit nervous because, Not going to lie, because I'm not like a confrontational person. I don't like arguing, but he's going to sit here and I'm not going to let him talk shit and go, okay, yeah, sounds good.
Like I know other journalists don't really challenge. I'm not even a journalist. That's the thing. But yeah, I know other people in the media maybe don't challenge him because they don't want to rock the boat with Channel 9. But remember, this podcast is full independent. I don't speak to Channel 9. I don't do anything with Channel 9. When I speak to the cast, it's not arranged through them.
There's no publicist. They've gone rogue and I've set that up myself. Anyway, I can see Pedro, who helps me produce this podcast, is waving at me, which means Adrian is arriving. So fuck, please wish me luck.
hello and welcome back to the maths funny podcast with me joshua fox and today i'm a bit nervous about this episode because i am joined by a man i've been pretty much calling a cunt on the internet for a few weeks now i did offer him to come on the podcast a few weeks ago at the start of the season when i thought he might have some redeeming qualities yeah well i didn't come on because i haven't redeemed myself yet so i thought i'd let you talk some shit for a little bit longer
Yeah, I don't know why I'm a bit scared about this.
I'm not a confrontational guy. You know what? I actually enjoy it, man. Your content actually makes me laugh a little bit. A little bit. I don't think you're that funny. It shouldn't be called Maths Funny, that's for sure.
Okay, should we call it Math Subtitles with you?

Chapter 3: What challenges does the host face during the interview?
People think that's like awkward or cringe. I was sitting there scrolling through social media and seeing my face everywhere, people using me for clicks, views, likes, bait. And I'm like, well, a marketing strategy would be I use myself. So if I can get an extra million views on my face prior to that show finishing, then I would do it.
Like I'm sitting on TikTok anyway, so I might as well clip up what everyone else is clipping up. And so I decided to do it.
Can you say this? Did you go on more for fame and attention and TikTok views or to find a partner? Absolutely not. Because you've just admitted you did your fan site to kind of collect these views and numbers and social followers.
Yeah. I think everyone was 100% open to fall in love. So was I. But the byproduct of going on a show like this is you do get your two minutes of fame. You can excel your business. You might be able to capitalize post-show and start your own business, your own podcast, who knows, brand deals, et cetera, make some extra money off it. But again, so you should.
If you're putting yourself out there to 3 million people and you can be made out to be a dickhead and hated and copied all the hate in the world. Which you are being. That's fine, bro. People will say like, you know, people are like, oh, you're hated. No, man. If you see when I walk down the street, man, I got people calling their parents saying, oh, my mom loves you.
Can you, you know, speak to her on FaceTime? How many times has that happened? It happened four times on the weekend. Four times, brother?
Superstar, four times.
Nah, bro, you know what? I actually, and I'm not saying this, man, I can't go nowhere. If there's 10 people, someone's noticing me. And again, I'm not even saying... Not for the right reasons. Yeah, but it's still noticing me. They're still coming up saying hello. So people think I'm getting hate. It's what you're seeing online. And every video you're taking the piss out of me,
And people are like, oh, you want your two minutes of fame? Well, guess what, bro? You keep taking the piss out of me, you're making me more famous, respectfully. So keep doing it.

Chapter 4: How does Adrian perceive his role on reality TV?
What do you think of Abby Chatfield, Dan, for welcoming her onto her podcast?
Oh, Abby, straight up. Yeah, listen, fuck. Abby is... I try to be respectful here. Um... Yeah, me and Abby would never be friends. I mean, how dumb would you have to be to have someone on a podcast talk about someone, not fact check anyone or anything? I mean, she would sit there and call me dumb, but she wouldn't look in the mirror.
She's sitting there saying, oh, we got texts and we got this and that. there's a reason and I don't think let's be real Abby wasn't Abby wouldn't have held those texts back if there's anything bad because all favor with me. So she's like, I'm gonna get text and show up.
If you're watching this show because I have the real text and she'll never do that because then her followers will realize she's an idiot. I mean, I say that but her followers don't.
That feels dangerous to call Abby's fans idiots because she's got such a loyal female following of people that kind of already hate you.
Yeah, I mean, the blind lead the blind. So, you know, anyone that is that closed off like she is. And mind you, wasn't she on a reality TV show? The Bachelor. The Bachelor. Was she the person or was she one of the 15?
She was one of the 15 and came runner up.
Yeah, obviously she didn't win. And there's probably a number of reasons why.
I think... But to me, you don't like Abby because she may be... Her whole brand is kind of calling out men who have behaviour like you.

Chapter 5: What does Adrian say about his social media presence?
No. Not even a kiss? No. So what was in the application?
The reason why I laughed, you know, again, we're on set now, so they try to catch you out and make you look stupid. And I laugh, like you see me, people, I've seen a number of comments, oh, he's always smirking, he's always smiling. I do that when I'm uncomfortable. I do that when, you know, obviously things are funny. I do that when... When you're caught out? Yeah, nah.
No, because when the producers asked me that, I knew they were trying to catch me out. I know for a fact, I can literally put... $10,000 that they would never find that application with me saying I cheated. So when they asked that, I was like, huh, taking the piss, trying to catch me out. My first reaction was like, lol, come on. So that's why my face went like that.
But on the subject of Athena, do you reckon you were just not as nice to her as maybe you could have been consistently throughout the experiment?
We were, if not the strongest couple in the experiment, especially up to now.
But you literally just left her because you weren't in the promo shoot.
I wasn't in the promo because I got asked to leave. I got told to leave. I didn't have a choice but to leave.
Wait, leave the experiment or leave the shoot?
uh to leave the to leave the experiment so i i left the shoot because um i left the shoot for a number of reasons me and production had a chat prior to that promo day um was no one knows about it it was disclosed and then that was sort of part of the reason why i left on that day and on top of it it was 50 degrees they wanted me to sit in a tent for two to three hours 50 degrees

Chapter 6: Did Adrian join the show for love or fame?
But the phone call to Afina, you said, I've left them at home because of the shoot.
No, she knew exactly why I left. It was them telling me to leave. And I was like, nah, I'm not leaving out of my choice. This is your choice. So they made out that I was leaving my wife. And then they called me, Adrian, come back on Monday for the dinner party. And I came back. I don't hold on to grudges. And, you know, Athena still wanted to be there as well.
My mindset was, okay, if I left, if me and Athena... If me and Afina are real, then this will last outside this experiment. So I don't need this experiment for us to stay together. But she wanted to be there, and I wanted to be there. I was having a great time, you know? And they also said, come back. So I came back. No hard feelings, whatever. Let's move on.
But the fact they're making me out that I left because of the stupid promo, like, if I wanted to be in that promo... I would have stayed. Why wouldn't I? And on top of it... They didn't want you in it. They wanted me doing red flags and green flags, but I was cringe-ass. I didn't care about that. If anything, no one would have known now, I did myself a world of favours leaving that promo.
So I first seen you... Well, firstly, I seen you about in the experiment. Never spoke to you because I was crashing filming. I was told to go away. Last week, I was in Melbourne. I see Athena leaves the girls' little Valentine's lunch. You rock up in a car and... You don't get out the car to greet her. You don't give her a hug. You don't fucking give her any romance on Valentine's Day.
You dangle one shitty single rose out the car window to her as she then struggles in the back next to a car seat.
Oh, man. Listen.
billy thought he was blindsided i was i didn't know you were there if i knew you were there i got a 45 roses jumped out of the car but then you you two then drove off and then you went to like a football game or something yeah you then took the rose back of her because you filmed a tick tock giving it the same rose again so that's fake you faked that just for social media cloud no it wasn't i um that's fake i bought it the road so it can't be fake
but you faked giving it up so you could film it to pretend you're still together. I gave it to her. We are still together. Who said we're not? Mate, I seen you grabbing that girl's ass. I got a video the other week.
