1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: This is jam Nation with Jonesy. 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 2: From her trademark bright Lippy to her heartfelt words of 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: encouragement on Master Chef, Melissa Lyong is a woman everyone 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: wants to be friends with. People have connected with her 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 2: to such an extent that she's up for the Gold 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 2: LOGI and the most Popular Presenter Logi as well. Melissa Lyon, Hello, Hello, Wow. 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: I love this. 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: Journey that you've had because a couple of years ago, 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 2: new presenters for Master Chef, how's it going to go? 10 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: And here you are so loved. I bet you wish 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: you could have seen a snippet of this during those 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: nervous days. 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: That would have been quite nice and very reassuring, that's 14 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: for sure. But I think we still approach everything the 15 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: same way, which is that we can only be ourselves. 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: And I mean, thank goodness, everybody is cool with that. 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, we just continue to be who we are. 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: And it's been a really wonderful couple of years getting 19 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: to know Jock and Andy and be comfortable in that 20 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: Master Chef space. 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 3: And you had some big shoes to fill, like Matt 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: Preston literally has ginormous. 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: Literally huge feet, ye, and with. 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 3: Your TV experience, what TV. Did you do before Master Chef? 25 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: I was on SBS. I did two seasons of a 26 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: show called The Chef Line, which is now on Netflix, 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: And so it was a really lovely, gentle way to 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: kind of ease into it because I was, you know, 29 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: in a way, doing a similar thing, which is I'm 30 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: there to talk about food. I'm no presenter, but I 31 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: know food, and I love to talk about food, and 32 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: I love hearing about why people cook what they cook, 33 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: and the creativity and the technique of it all. So 34 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: it was a nice way to dip a toe in 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: the water. And then of course this opportunity came up, 36 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: and it's a much bigger scale, but at least they 37 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: had a little bit of a prim up before heading 38 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: into such a big thing. 39 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: We spoke to Jocks the other day, and you know 40 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: the annoying thing. I think you were the person who 41 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: told us that he can eat anything and he just't 42 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: put on weight. But it's also you're all very tidy eaters. 43 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 2: You never look self conscious eating and you're very tidy. 44 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: That must be tricky. 45 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: That's very kind of you. We do try, but there 46 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: is I'll share with you. There's a whiteboard in the 47 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: wardrobe department with our names on it and a tally 48 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: and at the end of the season it all gets 49 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: added up and then whoever has the most points has 50 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: to take the wardrobe department out to dinner, which is 51 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: it's obviously not a bad thing. That's a really lovely 52 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: thing to do. But yeah, we are a little competitive 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: in terms of trying to stay neat. 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: But who's leading the tally board, Melissa, who's got the 55 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: most stayed so far? 56 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: I have to say it's almost always Andy Allen. Yeah, yeah, 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: but you know everybody loves him, so it doesn't really matter. 58 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: Well, I was watching you guys eat the ice cream, 59 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 3: the ice cream challenge, the movie ice cream thing. How 60 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: are we going to get around this one? 61 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: But do you know how many random people were yelling 62 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: at me, going, don't eat it from the bottom. It's 63 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: going to triggle out everywhere. I'm like, we have a 64 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: wardrobe department, we have television, you can it's fine. People 65 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: are very opinionated on how you eat an ice cream, 66 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: so that is something that I've learned about Australia. 67 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: But I think that's a con from the cornetto people. 68 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 3: You know, they put the chocolate in the bottom, so 69 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: you eat the bottom first. Then the ice cream invariably 70 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: melts through, you chuck it out and you buy another 71 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: cornette start again. 72 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: It's just yeah, it's a bit of a fast, but 73 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: that's okay. I really like eating ice cream. 74 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: Well, you're going to do great. I feel it in 75 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: my waters.

It would be nice.
