Speaker 1: Podcast.
Speaker 2: Ready, Jim? Everybody online.
Speaker 3: Australian radios, Jonesy and Amanda.
Speaker 4: Miss Keller.
Speaker 5: Amanda.
Speaker 6: Hello, Wiggles.
Speaker 4: Jonesy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, personal friend. Bit of a tongue twister. Tongue twister.
Speaker 5: Legendary pirate, Jonesy.
Speaker 3: He's a genius. That's what the J stands for.
Speaker 7: And Amanda, the actress.
Speaker 8: You have no empathy for anyone but yourself, you giant tool.
Speaker 3: Now's the time to hear good radio.
Speaker 8: Brendan and Amanda, and you're on the same show.
Speaker 3: We must communicate.
Speaker 4: Jonesy and Amanda are here.
Speaker 9: It's joke.
Speaker 10: Twas the Friday before Father's Day and all through the
Speaker 10: house was peace and quiet because I don't want to
Speaker 10: be hassled.
Speaker 8: I love those Hallmark cards that you buy. You say
Speaker 8: this every year.
Speaker 11: You say all you want for Father's Day is to
Speaker 11: be left the hell alone and I know that's not true.
Speaker 3: I want to go out, crack some waves.
Speaker 8: But that's what you do every day. Drink some beer.
Speaker 8: That's what you do every day.
Speaker 3: But without any judgement. Without anyone saying, oh, you're always
Speaker 3: doing that.
Speaker 8: Who says that to you?
Speaker 3: You're always hanging out with your mates, drinking beer. So
Speaker 3: I can actually do it now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah. And all your mates will be the same.
Speaker 8: No one will see their families on Father's Day. Is
Speaker 8: that what you're saying?
Speaker 3: We'll all just gather together.
Speaker 8: All my children, my many, many two children are going
Speaker 8: to be coming over. Nice.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've ordered some prawns. I've ordered some sashimi. I'm
Speaker 11: going to cook a big roast chook, which was Harley's request.
Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
Speaker 8: It'll be nice. I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 3: What's it just on the chicken? What sort do you get?
Speaker 10: Do you get the big family size one?
Speaker 11: You know what my brother and I cooked the other
Speaker 11: day when he came down to visit?
Speaker 8: I did a big whole chicken at his behest in
Speaker 8: the air fryer. And I put a packet of that
Speaker 8: French onion mix.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 11: Because I've done that in the slow cooker. That's sort
Speaker 11: of this recipe that's going viral. You don't add any
Speaker 11: other fluid. You do nothing else, even in the slow cooker.
Speaker 11: But in the air fryer, same thing. Sprinkle that on top.
Speaker 11: It gets a nice crust. You do it breast side
Speaker 11: down for about 20 minutes. Turn it over for about
Speaker 11: another probably 40 minutes.
Speaker 8: You cook it for about an hour in the air fryer.
Speaker 4: Delicious. Yum.
Speaker 3: It's a bit red roostery.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Because I think that's how they do the Red Rooster.
Speaker 8: In my air fryer. No wonder my house smells delicious
Speaker 8: all the time.
Speaker 3: No, you're too east of the Red Rooster line, my friend.
Speaker 8: Oh, am I, Brendan?
Speaker 3: Yes, you are. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, you are.
Speaker 8: Oh, are they not the ones that do the caviar?
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 8: Oh, my mistake.
Speaker 3: Gem Y Rye, what are you getting for your father?
Speaker 3: What's John getting?
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 12: Dads are hard to buy for.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: What's your dad into? Is he still at his ice bath?
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's still at the ice bath. Get him a
Speaker 12: bag of ice.
Speaker 8: Once he's got the ice bath, he can't.
Speaker 2: Add to it.
Speaker 3: Why don't you get it today and wrap it up? Yeah,
Speaker 3: good idea. And put it on his front porch. You've
Speaker 3: got to get him something.
Speaker 9: What about the coaster I got you of the Naked Scotsman,
Speaker 9: which I notice is missing from your desk.
Speaker 12: Have you thrown it out, have you?
Speaker 3: I just don't like looking up a hairy clacker, that's all. Oh, because....
Speaker 8: When you put it like that, no one does.
Speaker 3: It's not my bag.
Speaker 11: No one likes looking up a hairy clacker. But a
Speaker 11: photo of a man's bottom in a kilt can be attractive.
Speaker 8: But no one has to look up a hairy clacker.
Speaker 8: I'll have it.
Speaker 3: You can have it on your side.
Speaker 8: I'll have it on my side.
Speaker 3: Six months at yours, six months at mine.
Speaker 8: One buttock each.
Speaker 3: Ryan, thank you.
Speaker 8: Sorry.
Speaker 3: It's a great gift.
Speaker 8: That's a gift that Ryan has. Ryan hasn't bought anything
Speaker 8: for his father but bought this for you.
Speaker 10: He's getting him a bag of ice. It's expensive these days.
Speaker 10: We have an action-packed show. It's Friday FFS, the Friday
Speaker 10: Field Sessions. Anthony Kalia is going to.
Speaker 3: Be joining us.
Speaker 8: He's got an incredible set of pipes.
Speaker 10: Also, Instagram makes its return and we can't do anything
Speaker 10: until we do the Fast Five.
Speaker 3: Would you like to play?
Speaker 8: Give us a call, 1355 22.
Speaker 13: On gold.
Speaker 4: Yeah!
Speaker 3: Gold. Hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home
Speaker 3: this Friday afternoon.
Speaker 8: Fast five time.
Speaker 4: Five questions.
Speaker 14: Can you go all the way and answer.
Speaker 3: All five questions correctly? If you do that, Amanda will say.
Speaker 8: How handy would this be for Father's Day? A $ 250
Speaker 8: Bunnings gift card. Woo-hoo-hoo.
Speaker 3: What's your favourite island, Bunnings?
Speaker 2: Mine?
Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
Speaker 8: I kind of like the chains because you have to
Speaker 8: pretend they were jewellery. How about you?
Speaker 3: I like the casters section, all the casters. Are they wheels? Yeah, wheels.
Speaker 3: They've got various wheels and stuff. Gemma, am I right?
Speaker 12: I like the sausage sandwich aisle.
Speaker 8: Actually, that's true.
Speaker 3: Because he's never been into Bunnings in his life. Kyle
Speaker 3: is in Belgrave.
Speaker 8: Hello, Kyle.
Speaker 4: Hello.
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, how are we?
Speaker 8: Not too bad, thank you.
Speaker 3: What's your favourite island, Bunnings?
Speaker 4: Oh, God.
Speaker 8: I echo who said before the sausage sizzle.
Speaker 3: So you haven't been in there either, you young blokes.
Speaker 8: Not everyone has to be obsessed with hardware to be
Speaker 8: a real man, Brendan. I know that's your subtext here.
Speaker 3: You can buy software if you want.
Speaker 8: Kyle, here we go.
Speaker 3: What are you trying to do here?
Speaker 8: The first season of Kath and Kim aired on the ABC.
Speaker 8: This is a hard one. It says in which year.
Speaker 3: Let's ask Kyle.
Speaker 8: Would anyone know the actual year?
Speaker 3: Kyle, do you know the answer first?
Speaker 8: I feel, oh, one, oh, two, oh, three.
Speaker 3: Keep going, mate.
Speaker 8: Let's go to the middle, 2002.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 11: Oh, what a brilliant confluence of events that led us
Speaker 11: to this.
Speaker 3: Kyle, you are very good.
Speaker 11: Days before pre-production and filming was set to begin in 2002,
Speaker 11: a senior executive tried to axe the show by faxing
Speaker 11: Believing it was going to be a massive flop.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 8: I bet they don't boast about that.
Speaker 3: TV executives.
Speaker 8: About how to use a fax.
Speaker 3: Let's play Monster Mash, Kyle. Let's kick off this Monster Mash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's mash it up.
Speaker 8: Here's what happens, Kyle. We've mashed two songs together. What
Speaker 8: are they?
Speaker 4: Honey came in and she got me red-handed. Dripping with
Speaker 4: the girl next door.
Speaker 14: Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bed.
Speaker 6: Kyle?
Speaker 15: Kyle?
Speaker 3: Yep, I've got Imagine. Yeah.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 8: Do you know the other one?
Speaker 3: No, well, there's no point.
Speaker 8: It's all moot. But he can give someone else a
Speaker 8: leg up.
Speaker 3: No, we'll give it to Nat of Maylands. Thank you, Kyle.
Speaker 8: But that might have been handy for Nat. You've ruined
Speaker 8: Nat's chances.
Speaker 3: No, it's not everyone gets a prize here.
Speaker 4: Well, hi, guys.
Speaker 3: Hi, Nat. How are you?
Speaker 8: Nat, you've got no clues at all apart from that mash-up.
Speaker 3: Well, you can hear the mash-up.
Speaker 8: Let's hear it again.
Speaker 4: Honey came in and she got me red-handed Dripping with
Speaker 4: the girl next door.
Speaker 6: What a romantic, beautiful song.
Speaker 8: What are those songs, though, Nat? Is it Let It
Speaker 8: Be by The Beatles and It Wasn't Me by Shaggy?
Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
Speaker 14: I can't imagine.
Speaker 3: You know, that song, it's almost like he's saying, I
Speaker 3: don't know what's wrong with this woman.
Speaker 8: She's watched me have it off in every room.
Speaker 11: Yeah, what.
Speaker 3: And then he says it wasn't me, but it's clearly him.
Speaker 8: Question three is multiple choice here for you, Nat.
Speaker 11: The Crypt of Civilisation is a sealed room-sized time capsule
Speaker 11: to remain unopened until 8013.
Speaker 8: Cripes.
Speaker 11: Which of these items is in the crypt? A. A
Speaker 11: human brain in a jar. B. A can of Heinz
Speaker 11: baked beans.
Speaker 8: Or C. The screenplay for Gone with the Wind. Which
Speaker 8: of those is in it?
Speaker 13: Oh, wow.
Speaker 3: That's hard.
Speaker 4: Um.
Speaker 3: A can of Heinz baked beans.
Speaker 10: No, sorry.
Speaker 4: You'd think so.
Speaker 10: Why would you think so? And it certainly lasts that long.
Speaker 10: You know, I was just reading the extraneous information that
Speaker 10: Ryan's given.
Speaker 8: Who's put this together?
Speaker 3: Ryan, am I right?
Speaker 12: It's in a university in America somewhere.
Speaker 8: Fascinating.
Speaker 10: Other stuff they've got in there, Popeye the Sailor cartoon
Speaker 10: audio clips. They were preserved to showcase 20th century entertainment.
Speaker 8: They've got a full-size male and female mannequin.
Speaker 3: They've got a lady's breast form.
Speaker 11: And a Jonesy and Amanda tea towel. Do they have
Speaker 11: a human brain in a jar or the screenplay for
Speaker 11: Gone With The Wind?
Speaker 8: One of those two things.
Speaker 3: Is in there. It could be one of ours.
Speaker 10: If you would like to play the Fast Five, why
Speaker 10: don't you call us 135522 on Gold.
Speaker 3: Jam Nation. Gold, hello there.
Speaker 10: It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this Friday afternoon.
Speaker 11: We're up to question number three of the Fast Five.
Speaker 8: It's going to Dean in Fitzroy. Hello, Dean.
Speaker 4: Hello, Amanda. Hello, Gunji.
Speaker 3: Hello, Dean.
Speaker 11: We've been discussing the Crypt of Civilisation. It's a sealed
Speaker 11: room-sized time capsule that won't be opened until 8,113. How
Speaker 11: old will I be then? Which of these items is
Speaker 11: in the crypt? A, a human brain in a jar,
Speaker 11: or C, the screenplay for Gone With The Wind? C, Amanda.
Speaker 8: It is.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Dean, you answered that with a degree of authority.
Speaker 8: Have you had a sneaky peek in there?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: We'll just try to work out who put it together.
Speaker 10: I'm saying it would be a man because you've got
Speaker 10: a lady's breast form and a Lionel model train set.
Speaker 8: Question number four. On the origin of species is a
Speaker 8: famous work written by which scientist?
Speaker 14: I've got no idea.
Speaker 11: The foundation of evolutionary biology.
Speaker 2: What a clue.
Speaker 10: Have you been going to university at night or something, Ryan?
Speaker 10: Stacey is in Kalanga.
Speaker 8: Hello, Stacey. Hi. Hello. Hello.
Speaker 3: How's things?
Speaker 8: Good, thank you.
Speaker 3: How are you guys? We're well, thank you for asking.
Speaker 8: On the origin of the species is a famous work

Speaker 3: Charles Darwin.
Speaker 8: Charles Darwin.
Speaker 3: You know it.
Speaker 10: What song did Anthony Kalia cover to become one of
Speaker 10: the highest and fastest selling singles of all time in Australia?
Speaker 3: Oh, God. Come on, Stace. This is question five.
Speaker 8: I'm trying to think.
Speaker 14: Oh, Anthony.
Speaker 8: Sorry, Stacey. Googling Anthony.
Speaker 3: Tim's in Kilson.
Speaker 8: Hello, Tim.

Speaker 8: I wouldn't leave you out.
Speaker 4: Well, no, you did.
Speaker 3: Tim's up to question five.
Speaker 8: What song did Anthony Kalia cover to become one of
Speaker 8: the highest and fastest selling singles of all time in Australia?
Speaker 6: What was the song?
Speaker 3: He did that magnificent version.
Speaker 8: Of the prayer.
Speaker 3: There it is.
Speaker 6: Great. Jonesy's got no time for it.
Speaker 8: I've got to hit it plenty of times. That'll do.
Speaker 10: Congratulations to you, Tim. Anthony Kalia, by the way, is
Speaker 10: joining us for Friday Field Sessions. But, Tim, back to you.
Speaker 10: A $ 250 Bunnings card.
Speaker 3: Are you a father, if you don't mind me asking?
Speaker 3: I'm a father of three beautiful girls, mate.

Speaker 10: No idea, mate.
Speaker 5: No idea.
Speaker 8: They haven't told me if they've got something surprise for
Speaker 8: me or I'm not sure, mate.
Speaker 5: I'll still be celebrating Carlton beating Geelong, hopefully.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 10: Congratulations to you, a jonesinamanda.com.au if you want to be
Speaker 10: a part of the Fast Five for next week.
Speaker 1: See a whole lot more of Jonesy and Amanda on
Speaker 1: our socials.
Speaker 3: Jonesy and Amanda.
Speaker 1: Follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
Speaker 3: Gold, it's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this Friday afternoon.
Speaker 6: This is a.
Speaker 8: Very interesting phenomenon I've been reading about. A recent study
Speaker 8: has found there's a link between major album releases and
Speaker 8: deadly car crashes in the US. I don't have any
Speaker 8: stats on the Australian situation, but I wonder if it
Speaker 8: might correlate to what we have here. So traffic fatalities
Speaker 8: spike on the day that hit records land on streaming services.
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And this is not through the radio. Is this a
Speaker 3: new thing?
Speaker 10: Because in the old days, you know, you'd play ACDC.
Speaker 10: For example, I remember in my burgeoning radio career.
Speaker 8: Ripper 76 came out.
Speaker 10: They used to worry about playing Thunderstruck at drive time
Speaker 10: in the afternoon.
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 10: Because it would make people, you know, I'm Thunderstruck driving.
Speaker 3: Home in my car.
Speaker 8: Getting a bit aggressive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like when boxers walk out into the ring.
Speaker 8: It pumps them up.
Speaker 3: They've got like, you know, that psych up music.
Speaker 8: So the albums that they've looked at, so in the study,
Speaker 8: researchers at Harvard University, and this is a guy who's
Speaker 8: very reputable, he's a clinical fellow and a surgical resident.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 8: So researchers at Harvard University, and this guy, he's not
Speaker 8: just Mr.
Speaker 3: Mr. Smarty Pants.
Speaker 8: Meaning he has medical credentials. He's a surgical resident and
Speaker 8: a clinical fellow at Harvard Uni.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 11: So they compared accident statistics on the release days of
Speaker 11: the 10 most streamed albums between 2017 and 2022 and
Speaker 11: with those from 10 days before and 10 days after
Speaker 11: those releases.
Speaker 8: They looked at certain albums. They looked at Taylor Swift's album.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
Speaker 6: Red.
Speaker 3: So did this cause accidents?
Speaker 11: Give me time to tell you the information. Taylor Swift's
Speaker 11: Midnight Red, which you've played there, and Folklore.
Speaker 8: They studied those. They also looked at a whole stack
Speaker 8: of things. Harry Styles, Harry's House album, for example.
Speaker 4: And?
Speaker 8: The one with the biggest results, and I'll tell you
Speaker 8: what all those results mean, was Drake.
Speaker 3: Drake?
Speaker 8: Is that it?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Oh, okay. Thanks, Drake.
Speaker 3: Me and my, yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 3: That'll do, Drake.
Speaker 8: That'll do. So using Spotify data, researchers found an average
Speaker 8: of 123.3 million streams on the major album release days
Speaker 8: compared with much less on other days. And the difference
Speaker 8: was striking on the roads. They estimated an average of
Speaker 8: 139 traffic fatalities.
Speaker 4: Goodness.
Speaker 8: On album release days. Compared with 120 on the surrounding days,
Speaker 8: it's an increase of 18.2 deaths, which is substantial.
Speaker 11: So taken together, traffic fatalities were 15% higher on those
Speaker 11: release days. So that estimated 182 excess lives lost over
Speaker 11: those 10 days of streaming.
Speaker 3: Goodness me.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So depending on the album.
Speaker 11: So Drake, his three records appear to be linked to
Speaker 11: the highest jumps in deadly car accidents.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah. Do I wear a....
Speaker 3: Is this it?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Okay, that's him.
Speaker 3: That's Drake.
Speaker 8: There's a couple of explanations. Mostly that drivers handling their
Speaker 8: phones to stream new music are distracted.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's the problem.
Speaker 11: They crank up the volume so they miss sounds they
Speaker 11: would normally hear and they're simply more distracted by the excitement.
Speaker 11: And as you say, the pumped up heart rate, all
Speaker 11: of that, surrounding a highly anticipated release.
Speaker 8: So the guy, Vishal Patel, who's.
Speaker 11: The main guy behind all this, was inspired to investigate
Speaker 11: this after his wife texted him telling him to listen
Speaker 11: to a song that had just hit streaming services. He
Speaker 11: started scrolling on his phone. Minutes later, he was veering
Speaker 11: out of his lane and he said, it hit me
Speaker 11: that a split second longer with my eyes off the road,
Speaker 11: it could have been a serious accident, and he thought,
Speaker 11: If millions of people are doing this all at the
Speaker 11: same time, is this quantifiable as to what a new
Speaker 11: release on streaming does to traffic fatality?
Speaker 3: That's why we're on the radio now helping you out.
Speaker 8: Can we hear some more Drake?
Speaker 3: Do you want more Drake?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you?
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, great. Answer the question, Drake.
Speaker 1: Answer the question.
Speaker 3: What about when you hear this?
Speaker 11: Well, maybe we should do our own statistical research on
Speaker 11: that one.
Speaker 3: Do you like that, Drake? Is that any good? Is
Speaker 3: that good for you? Yeah.
Speaker 8: He should do a cover. We should pineapple somewhere.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Gold, hello there.
Speaker 10: It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this Friday afternoon.
Speaker 10: There's a lot of stupid or.
Speaker 3: Well-meaning people in this world.
Speaker 8: Aren't we lucky?
Speaker 3: Maybe. Or is stupidity and well-meaning, do they go hand
Speaker 3: in hand?
Speaker 8: Give me your case in point.
Speaker 10: There's a family in Brazil took pity on a 12-year-old
Speaker 10: girl who claimed to have come from a history of
Speaker 10: abuse and had health problems. So they said, you know,
Speaker 10: my casa, your casa. Come into my house and we'll
Speaker 10: look after you.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 10: This lady's name, according to them, was Gabrielle. Gabrielle had
Speaker 10: come along.
Speaker 8: So a 12-year-old started living with them?
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 10: Lived there for a year. They bought her clothes. They
Speaker 10: bought her toys. They gave her a room.
Speaker 3: They gave her three square meals a day.
Speaker 8: Square ones?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: What if she wanted snacks as well?
Speaker 3: You know, she was fed well.
Speaker 10: Then it came to pass that she wasn't 12 years old.
Speaker 10: She wasn't called Gabrielle. She was actually 37 years of
Speaker 10: age and her real name was Amanda Maria Souza de Oliveira.
Speaker 3: She was how old? 37.
Speaker 8: Why would you want to pretend to be 12? Was
Speaker 8: she that desperate for someone to take care of her?
Speaker 3: Because he lives. That's expensive. Kids can't get a house
Speaker 3: these days.
Speaker 8: Would you choose to go back to school again?
Speaker 3: I'd probably do all right.
Speaker 8: Imagine the ignominy if you didn't.
Speaker 3: Probably not. I remember I did some artwork for my
Speaker 3: daughter once and the teacher gave it a B +.
Speaker 8: Oh, what an outrage.
Speaker 3: And I was outraged. I went to art school.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so to maintain the disguise, you're probably wondering, they
Speaker 10: found that Amanda slash Gabrielle claimed to have autism and
Speaker 10: that she'd been administered hormones, you know, because they can
Speaker 10: sort of puff up a bit when they're on hormones.
Speaker 11: So that's why she said I might look a bit
Speaker 11: older than you think, but I'm really only 12.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so during the time when she lived with the family,
Speaker 10: she stayed in a decorated bedroom, was given children's toys.
Speaker 10: The family even reportedly organised a 12th birthday.
Speaker 3: Party for her.
Speaker 8: Where's the grog?
Speaker 10: Police say she asked her foster parents not to enroll
Speaker 10: her in school or begin a formal adoption process out
Speaker 10: of fear her abusive father might find her.
Speaker 3: That's kind of fair. That's how she got out of that.
Speaker 10: A relative of the couple eventually grew suspicious when she'd
Speaker 10: gone outside for a smoke and some whiskey.
Speaker 8: And asked to play some Michael Bublé. Middle-aged woman alert.
Speaker 3: And couldn't get on a Contiki tour. And they ratted
Speaker 3: it out to the cops.
Speaker 8: But can I keep my Cabbage Patch doll?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now Amanda has been convicted of fraud and identity theft.
Speaker 8: They should get her for an Oil of Ulan commercial.
Speaker 3: She's confusing people at the passport control.
Speaker 10: Anyway, I've got a photo of her here drinking milk
Speaker 10: from a bottle.
Speaker 3: She's 12. So are you either soft-hearted or stupid?
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: I think in this case it's a bit from column
Speaker 3: A and a bit from column B. A bit from
Speaker 3: column B.
Speaker 8: I think so too.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Jonesy and Amanda Podcast. Ice House
Speaker 1: playing on the steps of the iconic Sydney Opera House.
Speaker 3: What about that? Where are we broadcast from now? And
Speaker 3: I've got to say, we broadcast from a pretty good location.
Speaker 3: overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Speaker 8: The Sydney Harbour Bridge, me lovely lady.
Speaker 3: You've got Browse, you've got Luda Park down there.
Speaker 10: And when a young Jonesy went for a school excursion,
Speaker 10: I went to the little radio station that we're looking
Speaker 10: at now that looks over the Opera House.
Speaker 8: But what's this got to do with the steps.
Speaker 3: Of the Opera House?
Speaker 10: I was going to go back to a brag about
Speaker 10: how good I'm doing now. All those teachers said that
Speaker 10: I wouldn't make it. Anyway, I will say this, though,
Speaker 10: in the film clip for Ice House.
Speaker 3: Is Crazy, Ivor Davies plays the late night radio announcer.
Speaker 5: Coming up to seven o'clock here and the sun's rising.
Speaker 5: I'm about to go home. You've been listening to the
Speaker 5: late night shift. And if I'm dreaming, don't wake me tonight.
Speaker 5: Good morning.
Speaker 3: You're on the air.
Speaker 10: Do you mind if I wake you tonight?
Speaker 3: Is that a request?
Speaker 8: Well, can you play crazy for me? It's his bladder
Speaker 8: on the line. Do you mind if I wake you tonight?
Speaker 3: Coming up.
Speaker 8: Coming up, your chance to cut through this talk.
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 8: of the Opera House You get incredible behind-the-scenes tour. You
Speaker 8: get overnight accommodation.
Speaker 11: You get food and drinks. You get premium seating. You
Speaker 11: get to listen to a sound check. You get to
Speaker 11: listen to Jonesy being quiet.
Speaker 8: It will be incredible.
Speaker 3: That's all happening this hour. Also, Water Cooler Chat is
Speaker 3: coming up on Gold. Gold.
Speaker 10: Hello, it's Jonesy Demander driving you home this Friday afternoon.
Speaker 11: Let's talk about Charles Darwin. There's a sentence you don't
Speaker 11: often hear on commercial radio. What do you know about
Speaker 11: Charles Darwin?
Speaker 3: Actually, what do I know about Charles Darwin? Charles Darwin.
Speaker 8: Doesn't sound like much.
Speaker 10: I do know a lot about him. He had a turtle.
Speaker 11: Actually, he had that very turtle, I think, is the
Speaker 11: turtle that ended up in Australia Zoo.
Speaker 3: He had Darwin's theory.
Speaker 8: And what was it?
Speaker 3: We had descended from apes.
Speaker 8: Yeah. That was called the theory of evolution.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 11: And also he introduced the notion of natural selection.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: The natural selection guy.
Speaker 8: The natural selection guy.
Speaker 10: And then when you see someone doing something stupid, people say, well,
Speaker 10: no doubt he's going for the Darwin Award.
Speaker 8: That's right, which is just trying to take himself out
Speaker 8: of the gene pool.
Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
Speaker 8: The reason I mention this is that apparently he was
Speaker 8: a classic grumpy bum. Sure, you can have all those
Speaker 8: scientific things behind your name, but his diary entries show
Speaker 8: him to be a fascinating grumpy bum. Let me read some.
Speaker 3: Of these for you.
Speaker 11: I'm very poorly today and very stupid and I hate
Speaker 11: everybody and everything.
Speaker 3: Fair enough.
Speaker 8: I was like a teenage girl. I hate myself. I
Speaker 8: hate clover and I hate bees.
Speaker 3: Bees?
Speaker 8: I hate a barnacle as no man.
Speaker 3: Ever did before. Is he talking about boat barnacle or
Speaker 3: skin barnacle?
Speaker 8: I'd assume boat barnacle. These are all different diary entries.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not one day. He wasn't just having a bad day.
Speaker 8: All of this is very annoying. I'm sick of the
Speaker 8: subject and myself and the world. My paper was one
Speaker 8: long gigantic blunder from beginning to end. I'm the most miserable, befuddled,
Speaker 8: stupid dog in all of England. And this is how
Speaker 8: he signed a couple of his letters. A very stupid friend, C. Darwin.
Speaker 8: Your miserable friend, C.
Speaker 3: Darwin.
Speaker 8: And this final one I love. I'm very tired, very stomachy,
Speaker 8: and I hate nearly the whole world.
Speaker 3: Are you sure you're not reading from your own diary?
Speaker 8: Well, this is the thing.
Speaker 11: You know I do have my diary here in the office.
Speaker 11: And I thought, I also am a science genius myself.
Speaker 8: Genius, as you know.
Speaker 3: You have been a contender for the Darwin Awards many times.
Speaker 11: And I do have some of them where I'm just
Speaker 11: as ridiculously emotional and down on myself.
Speaker 8: This is what I've seen just in the first two pages.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 8: Well, here I am at 12.39. Tonight was the night
Speaker 8: of our formal. It's funny. I feel empty and strange.
Speaker 8: When we all sang Auld Lang Syne, however you spell it,
Speaker 8: I felt part of a group, a good, happy group.
Speaker 8: Sad to think it was breaking up. We had to
Speaker 8: dance to the beat of one, two, three, kiss, and
Speaker 8: I got to kiss Gary.
Speaker 3: Oh, Gary.
Speaker 8: I'll go on about how I'm not a typical grot,
Speaker 8: but I still fantasize about people. God, he's a hunk. Gee,
Speaker 8: I'm stupid. I always imagine I'll have a deep relationship
Speaker 8: with him, et cetera, which is pointless. There's a champagne
Speaker 8: breakfast tomorrow. I didn't want to go, but now I
Speaker 8: feel I have to. Now I feel I'm obligated to go,
Speaker 8: probably because if he might be there, God, I'm an idiot.
Speaker 3: So hang on, I don't understand.
Speaker 8: There is nothing to understand.
Speaker 3: Did you not like Gary?
Speaker 8: I did, but I had no chance. Who knows? All
Speaker 8: these emotions were all in one big bunch. Same as
Speaker 8: Charles Darwin.
Speaker 3: Did you, with the kiss, let's talk about the details. No,
Speaker 3: let's not. What are we talking about?
Speaker 8: Well, no, it would have been like a peck on
Speaker 8: the cheek.
Speaker 3: Oh, just a peck on the cheek.
Speaker 8: It was like one, two, three, instead of clapping hands,
Speaker 8: kiss on the cheek. Oh, right. I was incredibly naive
Speaker 8: and virginal, as you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, good.
Speaker 9: Good.
Speaker 8: Good. What about this one? You'll enjoy this one.
Speaker 3: Is this Darwin or Keller?
Speaker 8: This is Keller.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 8: Darwin minus the science.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 8: Well, another Christmas Eve is upon us. It really doesn't
Speaker 8: feel like Christmas. Maybe because of the elections. Maybe because
Speaker 8: we're going away. We won't be celebrating much as you
Speaker 8: get older. As you get older. I'm about 14. As
Speaker 8: you get older, Christmas becomes less magical. No Santa, less presents.
Speaker 8: It's a shame to think that another year will go
Speaker 8: by before next Christmas. It seems terrible to waste it.
Speaker 8: I've just realised I don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: You're kind of cut from the same cloth, you and Darwin.
Speaker 8: How about I quiz you? Here's a final entry. You
Speaker 8: have to guess whether this is Darwin or me.
Speaker 3: Darwin or Keller.
Speaker 8: I wish this great living thing inside me would go. God,
Speaker 8: I feel terrible. God, I'm tired.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: Darwin?
Speaker 8: It's Keller. It's an emotive. teenage killer.
Speaker 3: Ah, where's some monkey feces to throw? Jam Nation. Gold,
Speaker 3: hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this
Speaker 3: Friday afternoon.
Speaker 10: We have the Client Experience Team here.
Speaker 3: Everything now has a big word salad name.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Client Experience Team. I think, well, didn't it used
Speaker 8: to just be sales?
Speaker 3: When I started in radio, I was just a radio DJ.
Speaker 8: What are you now?
Speaker 3: Radio DJ. Still am a radio DJ.
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 2: What are you?
Speaker 4: I'm a.
Speaker 3: You're the talent. We call you the talent.
Speaker 8: I'm a heaps wicked meat puppet broadcaster.
Speaker 3: Gem Y. Ray, actually, you would have some sort of. Yeah.
Speaker 12: Like my official title?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: What is your?
Speaker 9: I think it's something like, it's like audio noise utility specialist.
Speaker 6: Anus.
Speaker 12: No, I'm not.
Speaker 3: No, that's what it's anus. Audio noise utility specialist.
Speaker 8: I think the business starts with those initials and works backwards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
Speaker 8: They're all giggling at us.
Speaker 10: Anyway, the client experience team back in the good old
Speaker 10: days was just called Sales.
Speaker 3: They went out, sold the advertising, and that's what they did.
Speaker 11: But they have a board where they put it on
Speaker 11: a whiteboard. It's basically a would you rather.
Speaker 8: So we thought we'd introduce all of you to the topics.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and really we're the people that comes up with
Speaker 10: the content. So we've nicked it off them and we've
Speaker 10: given it a snappy title. That snappy title is Water
Speaker 10: Cooler Chat.
Speaker 8: Here's today's. Are you ready?
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 8: Would you rather never eat meat or never have coffee?
Speaker 8: So never have meat or never have coffee. What will
Speaker 8: you choose, Brendan?
Speaker 3: I'd go with that coffee.
Speaker 8: I'm not a big coffee drinker. Could you go without
Speaker 8: meat at all? Can you have one or two meals
Speaker 8: without meat?
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 8: You're not one of those households that has like a
Speaker 8: vegetarian night on a Tuesday.
Speaker 10: Yeah, my wife sometimes, she proposed is that sometimes. Why
Speaker 10: don't we just go meat-free Monday? And I just say no.
Speaker 8: I just say no. What a snappy comeback. She must go, well, Mr. Linguist,
Speaker 8: I hear you loud and clear.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not like Jake the Musk. I'm just saying.
Speaker 8: Your face looked full of anger, though, as you said it.
Speaker 3: No, I like meat. I'll eat fish. If we're not
Speaker 3: going to have meat, I'll eat fish.
Speaker 8: But it's interesting. What about you, Ryan?
Speaker 11: Because lots of people are obsessed with coffee. Jonesy and
Speaker 11: I aren't obsessive coffee people, but you like your coffee.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I have multiple coffees a day, so this is
Speaker 9: pretty tough. But I also really love meat as well.
Speaker 9: So I was thinking I could give up coffee and
Speaker 9: just swap to energy drinks instead as a way around it.
Speaker 8: Right. So you would choose meat?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 12: And, like, I didn't start drinking coffee until I was
Speaker 12: about 18, so.
Speaker 6: Meaning?
Speaker 12: Like I've gone without it before.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: But before you were 18.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: When my first three years of life, I didn't touch
Speaker 8: a coffee. The first six weeks, I didn't eat meat.
Speaker 3: That's like I went without fornication for many years. Post-wedding.
Speaker 12: Anyway.
Speaker 3: Well, that is. I can live without that.
Speaker 8: That is today's dilemma.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 11: Would you rather never have meat or never have coffee?
Speaker 10: If you would like to join us, 135522. Water cooler
Speaker 10: chat is in session on Gold.
Speaker 8: Jonesy and Amanda.
Speaker 14: Listen to the podcast whenever you want with the free
Speaker 14: iHeart app.
Speaker 3: Gold, good afternoon to you. It's Jonesy and Amanda driving
Speaker 3: you home.
Speaker 10: When there's big issues to talk about, we could go
Speaker 10: to the Jonesy and Amanda arms.
Speaker 8: We could open a can of worms.
Speaker 3: We could put it up to the whip pole.
Speaker 8: But no, today we do this.
Speaker 16: Studies have shown that more information gets passed through water
Speaker 16: cooler gossip than through official members.
Speaker 3: Gather round ye olde water cooler.
Speaker 10: Thanks to the client experience team that works at this
Speaker 10: radio station or broadcast facility, i.e.
Speaker 3: Radio sales. They've come up with this today.
Speaker 8: Today's one. Would you rather never eat meat or never
Speaker 8: have coffee?
Speaker 3: I could go without coffee.
Speaker 8: Let's see what Mon of the Gold Coast thinks. Over
Speaker 8: to you for our water cooler chat, Mon. Meat or coffee,
Speaker 8: which can you do without?
Speaker 7: I feel like I could do without meat.
Speaker 4: Really?
Speaker 8: So you'd put coffee before meat? I would have coffee
Speaker 8: every day of the week. I'm just picturing myself living
Speaker 8: in Italy, eating pasta and tomato sauce. Actually, that's not bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: That's a good way of thinking about it.
Speaker 3: You know what I like to do?
Speaker 10: I just get the pasta, I put a tin of
Speaker 10: that Serena tuna in it, and you just munch it
Speaker 10: all together.
Speaker 3: That's good. But is that meat?
Speaker 8: Tuna is meat.
Speaker 3: Is tuna meat?
Speaker 8: I think we're classifying fish as meat, aren't we?
Speaker 3: Are we doing this around the water cooler?
Speaker 8: I think. Would you call fish meat mon?
Speaker 13: Yes.
Speaker 8: I just like... Pure basics, some salt, onion, tomato with
Speaker 8: a garlic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: Yum, yum, yum. Okay.
Speaker 3: Bit of basil.
Speaker 8: It's a good answer. Thank you.
Speaker 3: Bellissimo. Thank you, Mon.
Speaker 8: Deb's in Liverpool. Deb, would you rather never eat meat
Speaker 8: or never have coffee?
Speaker 7: A thousand percent. I would seriously give up meat because
Speaker 7: I wouldn't. I actually feel like I would kill my
Speaker 7: entire family and all my friends if I didn't have coffee,
Speaker 7: so I wouldn't even have anyone to actually enjoy my
Speaker 7: coffee with.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 8: Well, we'll put out an arrest for you this afternoon.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Betty is with us. Hello, Betty.
Speaker 8: Would you rather never eat meat or never have coffee?
Speaker 3: Hi, guys.
Speaker 7: Take my coffee, but leave my steak.
Speaker 3: I've got to have the meat.
Speaker 7: Sorry.
Speaker 3: Isn't it good when you get a good steak?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3: You just get a good steak.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's nothing like a very good steak.
Speaker 3: And you're loving your life. Thanks, Beth. Ryan has joined us.
Speaker 8: Hello, Ryan.
Speaker 4: Hello.
Speaker 8: Would you rather never eat meat or never have coffee?
Speaker 7: Well, this is really easy for me because I don't
Speaker 7: drink coffee already, so never drink coffee again.
Speaker 8: I'm quite fine with that.
Speaker 3: So you're happy with that?
Speaker 8: You're happy with that.
Speaker 3: What do you have instead of coffee?
Speaker 8: Do you have tea or hot chocolate? What do you have?
Speaker 4: No, I don't like hot liquids.
Speaker 8: I've got a couple of friends who are like that,
Speaker 8: who don't have it.
Speaker 11: So during the day, I know you probably sip water
Speaker 11: and do all those things that people do around here.
Speaker 11: Everyone seems to carry a gallon of water. Do you
Speaker 11: drink anything other than that?
Speaker 16: Occasionally I'll have like a Pepsi Max or a sparkling water.
Speaker 3: Rightio. So could you give up? Do you drink beer?
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 8: Would you rather never have meat or never have beer?
Speaker 8: I'm going to have to go no beer.
Speaker 3: Whoa. I'll tell you what, if that was my, just
Speaker 3: call me a seed-eating vegan. Just call me Osher Ginsberg.
Speaker 3: Thank you. Thank you for being part of the Water

Speaker 3: Friday field sessions, they just get better and better, don't they?
Speaker 8: Well, who knows what's on the cards today. What do
Speaker 8: you say?
Speaker 3: It could all come apart today.
Speaker 8: No, but no pressure. What we get is what we get.
Speaker 8: That's the whole point. His artists come in here, they
Speaker 8: set up in our studio, and we get what we get.
Speaker 10: Oh, look at little Anthony Kalea's little face pressed up
Speaker 10: against the glass.
Speaker 8: I don't want him to feel he's under any pressure.
Speaker 11: Anthony Kalea, we all know who Anthony Kalea is, but
Speaker 11: I didn't realise that The Prayer debuted at number one.
Speaker 8: It stayed at the top of the charts for five weeks.
Speaker 11: It became the fastest-selling Australian single at the time of
Speaker 11: its release in 2004.
Speaker 8: You remember The Prayer?
Speaker 4: Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 6: I don't speak of the Italian, but that's bellissimo.
Speaker 8: He won't be singing that. What will he be singing?

Speaker 8: of connection, it's Anthony Kalia. He has been winning audiences over.
Speaker 11: Well, he started on Australian Idol back in 2004, but
Speaker 11: he's become one of the country's most beloved voices. He's
Speaker 11: got number one albums. He's got live shows. All about
Speaker 11: bringing people together. And he's heading out on the road
Speaker 11: with The Connection Tour. And he joins us now, Anthony Kalia.
Speaker 3: He's a big deal. Good afternoon.
Speaker 5: Here he is.
Speaker 3: So good to be here.
Speaker 13: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Do you look well? Thank you. I would hope so.
Speaker 15: It takes a lot of effort to look this cheap,
Speaker 15: as Dolly said.
Speaker 8: But you know, dear departed Dolly.
Speaker 3: Rest in peace.
Speaker 11: Even though looking at that year, 2004, it still feels
Speaker 11: like you're a youngster.
Speaker 15: Well, I try and, you know, stay young and think young.
Speaker 15: but there are mornings where I get out of the
Speaker 15: bed and everything creaks. I'm sure everyone else can relate to.
Speaker 10: But did you catch up with the alma mater? Cause
Speaker 10: we see Casey from time to time and who else
Speaker 10: do you see?
Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting.
Speaker 15: Only a few months ago, uh, we, there was seven
Speaker 15: of us from our year of idol that we all
Speaker 15: caught up at a Marley's home, um, in Sydney. And yeah,
Speaker 15: we all went to her place for a barbecue and
Speaker 15: Courtney was there and really came and, um, Yeah, there
Speaker 15: was seven or eight of us, and it was really
Speaker 15: beautiful just to be together again. And it was like
Speaker 15: nothing had changed. It was like we all walked in
Speaker 15: and we went, oh, my God, we feel like it's
Speaker 15: old school Idol again.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I'm often fascinated by the sliding doors of things, the
Speaker 11: names you've just rattled.
Speaker 8: Off, singers. But if you hadn't had that sliding door
Speaker 8: moment on that show, would you be where you are now?
Speaker 3: Who knows?
Speaker 15: To be honest, and I wrote this in my book, actually,
Speaker 15: I rocked up to the first year of the Idol
Speaker 15: auditions when Guy and Shannon did it. And I had
Speaker 15: a moment, I had a freak out moment. I had
Speaker 15: an anxiety attack and they called out my number and
Speaker 15: I couldn't do it. I couldn't bring myself to sing
Speaker 15: and I left. And then it took me a good
Speaker 15: six months to nine months to sort of work the
Speaker 15: courage up again. And then I auditioned and I feel
Speaker 15: as though that was just my time and place then.
Speaker 15: And I knew within myself that now I'm ready to
Speaker 15: do it. And I'm so glad that I did. It
Speaker 15: was a different era back then. And it was a
Speaker 15: beautiful era. I feel as though we live in such
Speaker 15: a digital world these days. And back then it was
Speaker 15: just so organic and there wasn't a lot of bells
Speaker 15: and whistles on that show back then. It was like,
Speaker 15: here's your mic, sing, and it's live. And if you
Speaker 15: can do it, you can do it. And if you can't,
Speaker 15: you sort of get found out if you can't. And, um,
Speaker 15: I sort of love that. And I take that with
Speaker 15: me every day. That live experience is just a beautiful thing.
Speaker 15: And yeah, that sliding door moment, I don't know what
Speaker 15: I would be really doing. I do like interior decorating
Speaker 15: and I do like cars.
Speaker 3: So who knows? I could have been an interior decorator.
Speaker 3: Interior decorating cars. Oh, that would be heaven. This is
Speaker 3: a thing.
Speaker 8: How many curtains can you replace on a car?
Speaker 3: Venetian blinds are back.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Bring it on. And talking about feeling.
Speaker 10: So the Friday feels session and you've come in and
Speaker 10: I noticed you've brought an entourage outside the studio at
Speaker 10: the moment.
Speaker 3: They're going to be a part of the performance.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I've got Susie O'Hearn and Bo. I love my musos
Speaker 15: and my band. And, um, there is this beautiful connection
Speaker 15: that we have in, you know, on tour. I've got
Speaker 15: Rocky as well. I grew up with Rocky, my other
Speaker 15: backing vocalist. We grew up at, um, when I was seven.
Speaker 15: That's how long we've known each other. He was your
Speaker 15: backup vocalist when you were seven.
Speaker 3: No, no.
Speaker 15: We went to the same performing arts school and we
Speaker 15: had the same vocal coach.
Speaker 3: And yeah, he's been part of my life for that long.
Speaker 15: So it's actually nice to walk out on stage and
Speaker 15: just feel, you know, not only comfortable, connected with an audience,
Speaker 15: but connected with your musos on stage.
Speaker 3: And what are you going to be performing for us today? Ah,
Speaker 3: The Flame by Cheap Trick.
Speaker 15: And again, it's one of those songs, like it's just
Speaker 15: so beautiful when you pull it back and you listen
Speaker 15: to the backbone of this song and the lyrics.
Speaker 3: And it's just.
Speaker 15: Something connects with you when you actually just hone in
Speaker 15: on music without all the bells and whistles.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I love singing.
Speaker 10: A lot Well, so we won't have bells and whistles,
Speaker 10: but we'll have you and two other accompaniments.

Speaker 3: Gold, it's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this Friday afternoon.
Speaker 10: 10 questions, 60 seconds on the clock.
Speaker 3: You could pass if you don't know an answer. We'll
Speaker 3: come back to that question if time permits. Must you
Speaker 3: do that with your eye?
Speaker 8: I'm just scratching it, Brendan.
Speaker 3: You're really digging in there.
Speaker 8: You've got a real eye thing.
Speaker 3: No, but you're really digging in there.
Speaker 8: I've watched you pick hairs out of your nose, as
Speaker 8: has Ryan.
Speaker 3: Scratching.
Speaker 8: The outside of my eyelash isn't nearly as me.
Speaker 3: I would rather watch someone pick their nose than their eye.
Speaker 8: Are you kidding?
Speaker 3: Yeah. That's water cooler chat for next week.
Speaker 10: Anyway, you get all the questions right, you win $ 1, 000,
Speaker 10: but that's not all.
Speaker 8: That's not all.
Speaker 11: You can go with $ 1, 000 or you can play double
Speaker 11: or nothing by answering a bonus question. But as I said,
Speaker 11: you might get $ 2, 000, you might get nothing.
Speaker 3: Jacqueline is in Belden. Hello, Jacqueline.
Speaker 8: Good morning. How are you?
Speaker 3: What would you rather watch, someone pick their nose or
Speaker 3: pick their eye?
Speaker 8: Oh, definitely the eye.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 8: It's disgusting. There'd be no one in the world who
Speaker 8: would rather watch someone pick a nose. And you know it.
Speaker 3: No way, man. He knows it.
Speaker 4: No way.
Speaker 11: Well, let's see, Jacqueline. Let's see if we can get
Speaker 11: you some money this Friday afternoon. We've got 10 questions,
Speaker 11: 60 seconds. Say pass if you're not sure because we
Speaker 11: might have time to come back, okay?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 8: Good luck because here we go. Here comes question number one.
Speaker 8: A fedora is a type of what? Question two, O
Speaker 8: is a symbol for which chemical element?
Speaker 9: Oxygen.
Speaker 8: Question three, from what tree do we get an acorn? Pass.
Speaker 8: Question four, Captain Morgan is a type of what alcoholic beverage?
Speaker 13: Beer.
Speaker 3: Captain Morgan's rum. Captain Morgan rum, Jacqueline.
Speaker 8: I should know.
Speaker 2: Irish.
Speaker 3: Honestly. Irish.
Speaker 8: And the tree, the acorn comes from the oak tree.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't have got that.
Speaker 3: Remember Chicken Little? The sky falling on the head.
Speaker 8: What's that got to do with.
Speaker 10: Well, that's where the acorn dropped on the dope's head
Speaker 10: while the sky was falling and put everyone into a panic.
Speaker 8: There's a lot to learn from that. Don't panic.
Speaker 3: Jacqueline.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Have a good weekend and thank you for being part
Speaker 3: of Instagram.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Carry on.
Speaker 10: It'll be back again on Monday. You can always play jonesydemander.com.au.
Speaker 10: You can register today on gold.
Speaker 16: Jam Nation.
Speaker 3: Gold.
Speaker 10: It's Jonesy Demander driving you home. We straddle a lot
Speaker 10: of medias in this business.
Speaker 11: We do, and that accounts for why my hips are
Speaker 11: always sore. So to keep an eye on what we've said,
Speaker 11: where it's gone and how people have responded, we have Jenna,
Speaker 11: our social media guru.
Speaker 10: Her name is Jenna and she loves cats, TikTok, Snapchat.
Speaker 6: She's a social media guru.
Speaker 4: We like to call her our social media dipstick.
Speaker 8: By the way, she's single.
Speaker 3: What up?
Speaker 8: Oh, okay.
Speaker 13: It's been a huge week. across the Jonesy and Amanda socials.
Speaker 13: And once again, it all started with our Tin Hat
Speaker 13: Tuesday segment.
Speaker 8: So it was.
Speaker 13: Regular conspiracy contributor Rob with this theory that went crazy online.
Speaker 16: Jacob Rothschild?
Speaker 14: Don't you reckon Prince William looks exactly like him?
Speaker 8: Meaning that Diana had a relationship with him, presumably.
Speaker 3: No, unofficially inseminated. By Jacob Rothschild?
Speaker 10: The Rothschilds have been putting their genetics into the monarchy
Speaker 10: for the last hundred years.
Speaker 8: And what have people said about that, Jenna?
Speaker 13: Yeah, so the videos received 3 million views across our socials.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 13: Thousands of comments, including this one by Carmen on Facebook,
Speaker 13: who writes, the Rothschild saved the royal family from becoming
Speaker 13: bankrupt in exchange for breeding with them.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 12: Yes.
Speaker 13: While user StemCellActivator writes, I've heard all these theories. And
Speaker 13: love that they are finally on mainstream radio.
Speaker 3: That's us. We're bringing it to the light. Break out
Speaker 3: the royal turkey baster.
Speaker 13: It's also been a very emotional week as we learnt
Speaker 13: that Amanda's beautiful 14-year-old border collie Minnie, who we all
Speaker 13: absolutely adore, has been diagnosed with lymphoma.
Speaker 11: Yes, and thank you to everyone who has responded. I mean,
Speaker 11: it reminds everyone about their love for their own pets,
Speaker 11: but it's been beautiful.
Speaker 8: Thank you. Yes, exactly.
Speaker 13: So thousands across the world have resonated with your journey, Amanda,
Speaker 13: with people sharing their own heartbreaking stories and photos of
Speaker 13: their own pets. So Suze writes, I was listening to
Speaker 13: Amanda's story this afternoon on the way home from work.
Speaker 13: I bawled my eyes out. When I got my ashes
Speaker 13: from my baby Chardonnay, I cried for hours holding her ashes.
Speaker 13: I really felt Amanda's pain. My heart goes out to you.
Speaker 8: You know, it's funny. Every time I mention it to
Speaker 8: someone or someone comes to talk to me about it,
Speaker 8: they'll still say, oh, I lost my dog five years
Speaker 8: ago and I still cry every day. Exactly. So that's
Speaker 8: hard to hear, isn't it?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 13: And Annette, she adds, I just lost my bestest boy
Speaker 13: in July. He was 13 years old. It was sudden,
Speaker 13: but we had to make the choice. I still cry
Speaker 13: every day. Amanda and family, my heart goes out to
Speaker 13: you all. The feeling of utter helplessness is heart-wrenching. Big
Speaker 13: hugs to you and your girl.
Speaker 8: Thank you. That's lovely.
Speaker 10: That's why you're going to get like a Galapagos turtle
Speaker 10: as a pet because they live for.
Speaker 3: You know, Charles Darwin's pet was 140 years old.
Speaker 11: But it still eventually passed away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 8: Not on my watch.
Speaker 3: Not on Darwin's watch. He's long gone.
Speaker 13: On another note, it's time for Digital Jenners. This is
Speaker 13: where I choose my favourite contributor of the week, and
Speaker 13: this week was a tough one, so I'd like to
Speaker 13: give it to everyone who messaged us with stories of
Speaker 13: their own pets while giving Amanda some beautiful support during
Speaker 13: this tough time.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Jenna.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of bespoke tin hats you'll be making there, friend.
Speaker 8: It's a lot of virtual hugs, and I accept them all,
Speaker 8: and thank you.
Speaker 3: Well done. Thank you, Jenna.
Speaker 1: We like to call her our social media dipstick.
Speaker 6: By the way, she's single.
Speaker 10: You know, a promise made is a promise delivered, so
Speaker 10: you better crack them with those hats.
Speaker 8: Thank you, Brendan, for always ruining the emotion.
Speaker 5: Righto, UT.
Speaker 9: That's enough.
Speaker 3: Have a good weekend, friendy.
