00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: that you were really the first person to put comedy

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: on social media rather than just here's how I look,

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 2: here's what I do. You were playing characters, You've written sketches.

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, and you know what like I started

16
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: doing that when I like, I've done the regional radio

17
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: route for those playing at home. Used to do radio

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: in Griffith. Now Griffith is a beautiful town. However, when

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: I was on air, a mouse started meeting my shoe,

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: so you know it's regional. I started doing videos back then.

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: So twenty thirteen and it's twenty twenty one, and at

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: the time everyone was like, oh my god, like, you know,

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: how how lame are you? And now I'm like, hi, Rell, three.

Speaker 3: Book And you didn't have to display your butt bot

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: or anything like that. You've managed to get a million

26
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: followers on the strength of your own talents.

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank you. I think I just wanted to

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,639
Speaker 1: create something that was just as I text message, driving

29
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: you nuts. Can you guys hear that?

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: No?

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: No, oh, someone is texting me go away. I'm on

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: Jones in Amanda.

33
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: What what.

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: So this is a kid's book. You've written books before,

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: but this is a book for like seven to eleven

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: year old.

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Yes, and this is you know, Amanda, Oh my god,

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: you've got kiddies on you do two Jones. But like

39
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: these kids have like written to me and messaged me

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: and taken photos of themselves reading it, and it's it's

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: a different experience, you know, making videos and doing comedy,

42
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: being in the jungle, these things are amazing, But there's

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: something really heartwarming about kids reading your book and the

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: messages about resilience and being yourself and seeing these kids

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: read it, I just I feel like I could always

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: cry right now. Because it's just so powerful, you know,

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: it's so like, I'm so thankful that I've had this

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: opportunity to do this book, and.

49
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: It's good to say kids reading, I know.

50
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: I know. And the thing is, you know, TikTok exists,

51
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: and in this book, I wanted to create a world

52
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: where phones and TikTok didn't exist. So that was quite difficult.

53
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: I had to do it slightly at the end, just

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: so it was relatable because that's the world we live in.

55
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: But you know, I wanted to make a it's not

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: about crushes or love or boyfriends or girlfriends. I wanted

57
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: it to be about, you know, finding yourself. And she's

58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: a bit of an entrepreneur, preneurs heavy. She starts a business,

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: and she she makes and writes a play with all

60
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: of her friends and puts it on at an old

61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: people's limes.

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: And and I've been flicking through. Don't tell me how

63
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: it ends, but I bet there are bits along the

64
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 2: way where they want her to not be in the

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: lead role. So she's got to sort of face some

66
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: hardship along the way, hasn't She's like, working in the media,

67
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: we've all faced that.

68
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Well, haven't we it's also like working with different personalities

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: and different people and dealing with being competitive, and I

70
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: think teamwork is a tough one. I remember as a kid,

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: I always used to be like, I want to work

72
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: with that, and like, that's not how life works. You

73
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: kind of have to figure out a way otherwise you

74
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: just wouldn't work.

75
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, would it be great?

76
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Actually?

77
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: Would actually it would be great. While you're just saying there,

78
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: I'm going I want that. That's what I want. I

79
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: understinking of how far you've come. Where you and I

80
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: were extras in a ad with Rebel Wilson for Audible

81
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: and look at you now you're writing books.

82
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, bet I was such a fair girls like,

83
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: oh hi, Jonesy, are you ready to yep? Just a

84
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: couple of radio people doing radio the same level.

85
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: Well, what role were you playing? Because with Jonesy was

86
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: this when you were were you playing Rebel's driver a body?

87
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: What happened was my character? I was Michael Bolton's security guard,

88
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: and then I had a cameo role as a security

89
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: guard in the Audible commercial forum for Rebel for Rebel,

90
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 3: but Rebel where the Michael Bolton went thing took me

91
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: five minutes to do the one would Rebel at Wilson.

92
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 3: It was literally twelve hours and I had this. I

93
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: had two shots in. Poor old Tanya had to ride

94
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: an exercise book bike. Not for twelve hours, but I

95
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: was thinking, I can't be this hard, I can't be this.

96
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Hard, but it was this is the truth, right. The

97
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: only way they could get me on an exercise bike

98
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: was to pay me.

99
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: It did such a great job. We had to hydrateer.

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: I literally watched the add on a treadmill or an

101
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: exercise bike, just sweating and they didn't need, you know,

102
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: proops or anything because I was the girl was sweating

103
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: and Rebel was like, I'd hate to do this job.

104
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: I was like, tell me about it.

105
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,719
