Chapter 1: What inspired the creation of the new reality show?
Hello guys, and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with me, Joshua Fox. And welcome to my big announcement, which I am so excited to finally be able to share with all of you lovely people. As many of you noticed over the last couple of months, I've been slightly MIA and I've completely dipped out of the Married at First Sight world. Like I stopped crashing filming for the 2026 season.
I stopped keeping up with what this year's cast have been up to. I think I've low-key unfollowed a lot of them already. And I stopped having like any form of social life or personal life myself.
Like even my own social media has gone dead because the one thing that has consumed my life for months now, like every day, sometimes up to 17, 18 hours a day is the one thing I couldn't post or talk about. Until now. So yeah, for the last few months, I have been traveling the country filming a brand new show.
Chapter 2: How did the guest secure funding for their project?
And not only have I been filming it and like kind of in it, but I've also been directing it too and being the executive producer. I can't believe I'm finally sharing this. This is like my dream coming true because like for years now, I've had this idea for a reality documentary series that I would love to make.
And it's been like this dream in the back of my mind that I have tried to make happen multiple times, but no one has ever really believed in it to make it become a reality.
But everything changed in May and everything since then has essentially been a blur because not only did I find two investors who understood what I wanted to make and they like fully backed my vision, but together they then quickly pulled together $250,000 and were like, yeah, here you go, Josh. Here's your budget. Go make it, which is still kind of surreal to me because that
is a significant amount of money. And for me to be in charge of that and having to hire crews and locations and book flights and like, it's been a lot. But I can't complain because this is a dream of mine.
Chapter 3: What challenges did the guest face while filming the show?
I have wanted to do for so long now. And in two weeks now, the first episode is gonna drop and be available to stream. And let me tell you, this whole project in the last five, six months has been wild. So the teasers and announcements for my show will start going out this week. And everyone's going to read the initial bio and see the first promos.
And they're going to think this show is just going to be one thing. But I want to give you guys the full context here and say it's much bigger. And I also want to just let you know how all this...
happened so just bear with me for a few minutes here please and before i even explain the concept of the show i want to take this to the very start and i want to let you in on a little secret which actually i don't know is even a secret because i've kind of touched on this briefly before But over the last 10 years, I have been working in the adult industry and with adult stars.
Chapter 4: What is the unique concept behind the reality show?
And this started in the UK when I was a journalist and glamour models were a thing then. This was long before OnlyFans. And I knew a few glamour models and I saw the shame and judgment they faced every single day. And I kind of had this idea, well, let's do some features on them. Let's put them in the magazine I work at and let's...
try and humanize them in a way and say like yo just because these women do topless modeling or porn or escorting or whatever like that doesn't mean that's all they are if that makes sense and then you know that was 10 years ago fast forward to covid was like five six years ago now when i'm now a journalist in australia and that's when only fans started to take off and i was then doing the same
with articles and features on OnlyFans creators as the public became fascinated with this shocking new website that suddenly was taking over and making people rich. And then as OnlyFans started to become more and more mainstream, I started working with more and more creators from that platform. And they would reach out to me to help them with their PR and business strategies.
And it got to the point where I was physically filming their porn for a good while, which is still kind of...
Chapter 5: How does the show aim to humanize adult industry creators?
Crazy to me, but I'm so desensitized to all of that now. It's just work. And then when I was working on radio, I'd be booking people like Annie Nye and the Girthmaster, who you guys may have heard of. They're two of Australia's biggest creators. I'd be booking them onto the breakfast shows I worked on as their first ever mainstream interviews.
And essentially everything I was doing over these years was highlighting how these creators... feel empowered in like a mainstream way to mainstream audiences, as well as like highlighting the crazy money they were making.
But the problem I realized with this last year, especially though, is like as OnlyFans has become more and more mainstream, creators are now going to more and more extremes to stand out, which... has kind of become dangerous. And I'm talking like these sex stunts of, I'm going to have sex with a thousand people today.
Chapter 6: What lessons do the participants learn in the OnlyFans Academy?
Oh, well, I'm going to try to sleep with more than a thousand people to beat you. Well, I'm going to tie myself up and put myself in a glass box and people can come do what they want to me. Like it has got out of hand. And I have realized like this narrative that I helped initially set in the media that joining OnlyFans is like an instant gateway to fame and fortune.
is just not true and we're now at a time where we're seeing like the effect this narrative has had on society as things now get like out of hand.
And yes, OnlyFans does make people rich and famous, but most regular people who sign up, like after being sold this dream through the media and through articles that I have done previously, they barely make minimum wage when they sign up and they're then left asking themselves like, what have I done here?
As they realize their content will live on the internet forever and it was just not worth it for them. So on that, the show I've wanted to make for a good while now is just showing the reality of this world, but through a medium people are familiar with, which is reality television.
And when I pitched this idea to production companies or streaming places or networks, they basically all said the same thing, like...

Chapter 7: What emotional moments occurred during the filming process?
No thanks, not for us, and you'll never make these people likable to the general public, which pissed me off and made me go, well, yeah, I will. Just wait. And instead of creating something just to, like, shock or outrage people, like the few previous documentaries on...
OnlyFans creators have set out to do or, you know, to create something just to continue glamorizing it like the media have been doing since the start. My show and my idea is I do want to show the brutal reality of what it actually takes to make it on the platform. I don't want to, like...
get a few of the world's biggest stars from OnlyFans and be like, here's me, fucking the thousand people, watch me behind the scenes. I want to reverse that and go to the basics and find four new people and show this is what they will have to do and how will this impact all parts of their life and if they wish to do it.
And again, in doing this, I want to be able to humanize these creators and show that they're not just... their job title, which they are always reduced to by most people.
Chapter 8: When and where can listeners watch the new reality show?
And before I even cast anyone on this show, I knew going into it that my main objective was to be able to show just emotion and the vulnerability and depth to these creators.
And again, I keep saying that word humanized, but that's it because to most people, they don't see them as regular people, regular humans like you and I. They just reduce them to their job title and often a derogatory remark like,
slut which i don't like saying that but that is the reality of it and like yeah that was my concept while also still being able to like make the show entertaining and fun and sexy and even a bit controversial because that is also the reality of that world so now if you're thinking well how the hell did you manage to do that josh well
After getting the investors on board and the funding, I spent a long time finding four creators at four different levels, all from like different parts of Australia and the world, actually, because one of them is from London and just moved over for the show. And I flew them all to Sydney. I moved them into a house I'd hired for production. And then.
I enrolled them into the XX Academy, the world's first OnlyFans Academy, which is essentially where the entire show is based. Imagine, like, RuPaul's Drag Race, and they've got the workroom. Then imagine, like, The Apprentice, where you've got these people, like, competing in the business world.
And then imagine maybe a bit of, like, old-school Geordie Shore wild antics with Louis Farrell on the side, who's me. Like... That is essentially this show. And with the Academy, I joined forces with XX Management, who are Australia's biggest adult talent agency. And together we just developed lessons, lectures and an entire curriculum. Like we legit had an entire studio and space and campus.
Like this wasn't like some online TAFE course. And with the XX Academy, like the sell for the reality side of this project is we set out to see if these four girls have what it takes to become the next big OnlyFans creator, you know, which is like a sexy sell, which you can summarize in one line, which to wider reality audiences will go, okay, I get that, but...
This is just as much a documentary series too. And through the Academy and through the lessons that I developed and the guest speakers and all of that, like I wanted the girls to ask themselves, is this really worth it? What are my boundaries? Is this even what I want to do? How will this impact my long-term goals?
And even what toll will this have on my mental health, my relationships, my family, even my body? And before I wrap this up, because I know I'm rambling, sorry, I just want to say the aim of this whole show and project and everything isn't to deter anybody from joining the adult industry. I'm still so for that world like I always have been.
