Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello and welcome back to the Maths Funny Podcast with me, Joshua Fox, and today's episode is going to be fun. And trust me when I say that, I am joined again by producer Pedro, who has no idea why he's here.
As usual.
As usual. Okay, so as I said, this one's going to be fun. And usually when someone says something's going to be fun, it's not fun, but this is going to be fun.
Well, because I'm here, it's going to be fun, I think.
Questionable. Okay. Anyway, so before we get into everything, a few days ago, I saw Katie from this year's season announced that she'd launched like a surprising new business venture, you know, off the back of her time on the show and her fame. And I think it's genius. So I wanted to cover that anyway. But then I thought we could have a look back at some of the more...
business ventures past cast members have all tried to launch posts show you know to utilize their fame and make money or whatever because like upon reflection so many of them are just really cringe yeah we're always destined to fail and occasionally some have been really clever but mostly it's just been like a string of disasters oh well this should be fun because I want to I want to hear what these are
Yeah, and I always say, good on people for trying, but when you read what some of these people tried, you're like, mate, what were you thinking? But for now, okay, Katie, what do you reckon?
Weight loss pill. Because remember she lost all the weight?
No, she already had an ambassadorship with a protein brand, I think, because the weight loss thing has been gradual since the start of the year, really.

Chapter 2: What surprising career change did Katie Johnston announce?
I'm the least of your worries. But can I ask you something? Yes. When people say they write e-books, you know, like, is it actually written by her or is it just this chat GBT AI book? You know how people do that? They write a book through AI and they claim it as their own and put it on Amazon.
Well, people do that, but I would say with Katie, and remember, I really like Katie. I think she's lovely. And I think this is genius. And I would say that she has written this yes, because what people don't know is that she has a degree in behavioral science and a major in psychology. And like, she's always been interested in this like mindset stuff. And then I suppose the genius part for me is,
All year, people have watched her on this gradual journey of learning to love herself, lose weight, change her life, essentially. And her audience, I see the comments on her posts, it's like women in similar spaces being like, how did you do it? What's your secret? I want to do what you did.
Oh, so she's then tapped into that because she wants to help others.
Well, there's an audience.

Chapter 3: What business ventures have past cast members attempted?
This is something Kate is passionate about.
Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
And it's funny because people always go, oh, they're just cashing in. But it's like, well, if the opportunity is there, what's wrong with that?
Yeah.
Now if we want to talk failed business ventures, I'm going to go right back to season five here because the first person who really gave it a hot go to make something of himself.
Oh, him. Okay, who?
Nasser.
Oh, God. What did he do? Surfing lessons? No.
Actually, you know, NASA's day job, and no one thinks he's got a day job. It's a personal trainer to pensioners.

Chapter 4: Which cast member's weight loss journey influenced their new business?
He's a troll, but like... He's funny. And then he released a t-shirt range. There was two t-shirts.
I remember this, yeah.
One said, it's a NASA thing. That didn't sell very well. So then he did a second run of one that said, in a NASA we trust.
Oh, I remember that. Remember, what was the bloke from this year? It must be an old contestant thing because that Tony bloke from this year.
Tony had a T-shirt range called Tony Time.
Oh, bro.
What are you doing? I'm jumping my script there. So while we're on the T-shirt thing. What NASA started, everybody has kind of just ran with. Oh, I've lost me papers. So NASA's the pioneer, the T-shirt, the printed T-shirt pioneer. The printed T-shirt pioneer of cringe quotes. Because then a few years later, remember Al and Brent?
Oh, Al and Brent. Yes.
So then Brent had a line in his final vows to Tamara where he says, goodbye and good riddance.

Chapter 5: What failed business venture did Nasser attempt after the show?
She rebranded herself as the Bitcoin goddess.
Oh, no, Tracy.
And she vowed to improve the quality of people's lives through her new cryptocurrency business.
The fact I don't know anything about this and she's a marketing queen.
Well, I don't think it, I think it ended as quickly as that one started. Anyway, then she's done like a few things. She got into like the wellness space. And then most recently last year, she launched bath therapy. So imagine the word therapy, but with a BA, like bath therapy, like it's to do with basically having a bath and therapy.
Oh, does she have like a bath place where you go in and have it like a cold bath or a warm bath or a sauna or something? Is that what it is?
No, so you have a bath in your house and she sits next to you. No, I'm joking. No, so according to Daily Mail, bath therapy. How am I saying it right? Bath therapy.
Bath therapy. Just say it like that.
Bath therapy.

Chapter 6: How did Tracy Jewell's business ventures evolve post-show?
This isn't me talking to you, Pedro, to get your vibe.
No, I get it, but I can't sit here and pretend to care.
How these things work is I say something, we bounce off each other to discuss it.
I understand, but I honestly can't fake my excitement.
This is why you get one episode a month. Anyway, Lucinda, kind of become a bit of an entrepreneur. Because she was a wedding celebrant before the show. Then she became like full booked out for that. So she had to stop doing that. Then she went to the UK where she did a dating show co-hosted with Vicky Patterson from Geordie Shore.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Which did well.
Then she actually launched for a while this thing called the Lucinda Light Tribe, where like you spend $30 a month to become a member. And she does like weekly Zoom classes.
Is that a real name?
No. Oh, one of the biggest stories I've ever done on maths was the day her wedding night, it was like the headline was just Lucinda lights, real name revealed.

Chapter 7: What controversies surrounded Ella's sex toy promotion?
And then she kind of gave it up. I did a podcast a few, maybe two months ago, which people can go and listen to about why she did that. Jessica Power, obviously still in that space, made a lot of money. Olivia Fraser, Alana Lister, and Michelle Caron. Remember her?
Yeah.
She got dubbed the OnlyFans gran because she was a bit older.
Oh, yeah. Oh, I remember her.
I liked her. She was always lovely to me.
Wasn't Michelle strange for some reason? Something happened. There was a story, the story around her. What was it?
Oh, she was just, things got really heavy with that guy, Steve. She was with, and then it's just, her season was not fun. It was, things got very dark. And then she was working in the police before the show as like a teaching recruits or something. And then she obviously couldn't return to that. And then that's what she did. Only fans.
Good on her.
Yeah, and she was kind of, I remember she gave me a quote once where I said, like, do you fear judgment or whatever? And she went, no, like, I'm happy people find pleasure in my body. And she said, like, my body is a vessel for other people.
