Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Our next guest is a colorful and sometimes controversial triple threat,

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: a singer, a comedian, immediate personality who leaves a trail

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: of sequence wherever she goes, which is handy when you

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: need to track her down to her new show which

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: is about to start. Hemriciano, Hello, oh darling, I'm just

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 2: reminiscing about Ugly Kid Joe.

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: That he sung that song that was yes, Ugly Kid Joe.

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 3: I know they didn't originally do it, obviously Cat Stevens.

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: But I went no, Harry Chapin, Was Harry Chapin?

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,080

Speaker 3: thank you for having me on.

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: A pleasure And I think a lot of people forget

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: that we first met you as a singer Australian Idol.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 2: How many years ago was that?

17
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 3: Oh nearly seventeen? Wow time, I know, so long since

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: I wore one earring and cried the whole time.

19
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 4: I remember you on the show because you did really well.

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: Where did you come again?

21
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: You came?

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: Oh that's kind of you. I came ninth. Don't do

23
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: really well? It was. It was an unmitigated disaster at times,

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: but it did get me a lovely career. So you know,

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: heis and low.

26
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 2: You were one of those tenacious people I'm sure who

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: from the minute you were born you were performing. Was

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: that you.

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: Yes, I did slide out of the wound with Dad's hands.

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: And then to tell the story had told that I

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: did sayd upon being pall to my mother said now, yeah,

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: I used to put shows on for my family and

33
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: make them hit that I'd have my dolls front row

34
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 3: and they were the ultimate audience because they can't blink,

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: like interpretive dances to songs that were totally inappropriate, like

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 3: I think Alana Miles black Velvet natch gyrating in a

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: lead chat in front of my poor parents like it was.

38
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 3: It was pretty torturous.

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of your poor parents, your dad tours with you.

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,279
Speaker 2: He must hear all of your material. Is there anything

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: you choose not to say because your dad's there?

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: No, I have anything. I go harder. My dad was

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: a muso in the seventies and he tour It looks

44
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: like Joe Cocker and Sammy Davis Jr. And so he

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: barely remembers it. But he's heard far worse right the

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: things his daughter says on stage.

47
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, so doesn't say any stories about Sammy Davis Junior.

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: No, he doesn't remember them. It was the seventies, did

49
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: I go on?

50
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Wow?

51
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: And so you're going to be like the Barnes family

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: because your daughter is also singing back up vocals.

53
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: Yes, no, three generations. Her and I sing a duet

54
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: together and Machella. And it's great because I don't have

55
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: to pay either of them too, so it's much cheaper.

56
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, absolutely, it's like the Partridge Family. That's the

57
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: whole thing. You need a bus.

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: Oh god, I might imagine that. So tell us about

59
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: Live and Unleashed. What are we going to see?

60
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: Look Live and Unleashed? Is it's two years since I've

61
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: been on the stage, especially in me, So it's just

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: two years of kind of tents up frustrations of being

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: in a house with five people and being kind of

64
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: the keeper of the emotional wellbeing, you know, Amanda, During

65
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: during COVID and during certain periods of lockdown, it was

66
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 3: kind of my job to keep everyone's spirits up. And

67
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: then I realized mine weren't really being held up, and

68
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: just the things that went on the internet shopping that happened,

69
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: the many anxiety blankets I bought, the hit I shouldn't

70
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: be operating. I'm lucky they were our injuries. You know,

71
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: all those types of things that I think everyone can

72
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 3: kind of relate to. I went and hit in my car.

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: We called them par holidays. That sounds tame to know them.

74
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, just just that time and bringing it to

75
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: the stage and singing some songs about it and kind

76
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: of meeting through it again.

77
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Well, let's just unpack the hiding in the car thing.

78
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: So what you would just go into your car and

79
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: sit up the front of the house or would you

80
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 4: go somewhere?

81
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: No, no, no, there's no point. We couldn't because it

82
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: was a five kilometer radio of course Melbourne at the time.

83
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: So I would throw on a big show. I mean,

84
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of hiding your sadness from your

85
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: family and let them know how much they've tortured you,

86
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: make them think about it. So I just see that

87
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: my car wherever I can see near the windows, bogging

88
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: out just stop and gripping the steering world. Do you

89
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: two playing in the backgrounds?

90
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: Saving up for the children's therapy as we speak.

91
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well you know they're earning it by performing

92
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: in my shows. We'll pay for the side.

93
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: Well, my grandfather used to go and sit in his

94
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: carriacters listen to the races, you know, and that was

95
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: it's a new shed.

96
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: It's the same thing to sit in his car and

97
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: listen to the races.

98
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's the only time you get some peace.

99
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: I have a two year old. I get the little

100
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: gremlin hands under the door when I try to go

101
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: to the toilet. There's no alone time in this town.
