Speaker 1 (00:19):
I know last night Irene left home and away. Many
people would mourn that moment because it's also Lynn McGranger
leaving home.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I know, we personally know Lynn, good friends with her
and Aida.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
I will say this, I just felt that it was
a little lacklust time.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
You're expecting an anvil to fall from the sky and
clean her up.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, I would have been Yeah, I would have cued
that in.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, she's walking to the car to set drop the rnful.
Now she'd be walking to her car at the end
of an emotional scene to drive away into the sunset,
and sudden it explodes.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Remember neighbors, they drove off the cliff and Tody and
he's missus.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, they're going off to the sunshine.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
No, no, Lynn got a budget farewell, pudget farewell. She
could have fallen into a paper mache dire rama. Surely
we'll go.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Down to the Jonesy the man of Arms to the
pub test.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
A female James Bond Not on my watch, Poche.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, wait till we get to TikTok, Tucker. I'm still
reeling from the results of this. A diet coffee brownie.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
And what does Sean Macarliffe you and I have in common?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I hate to think we all are a little bit
of a twinkle toes when it comes to the debt.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
We've all done dating with the stars. Sean came second
and was actually good at it, so he's separate to us.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Well, I thought I came somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Everyone was unhappy.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
A miracle of recording.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
We have so many requests for them to do it again.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
Mistress Amanda's mis Amanda doesn't work alone.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Friend making the tools of the train.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
I've heard them describe him as a drunken idiot.

Speaker 7 (02:02):
The legendary part Jersey Amanda the actress.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Congratulations, man, we're right now, jos and Amanda.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
You're doing a great job.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
But selfie, good radio.

Speaker 8 (02:16):
Sorry, but of a twist set Amanda.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Shoot, Timy, we're on the air.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Shut it about it to you, missus. Bunce.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
It's heavy rain again and again and again. Come on,
you know I've reached for an umbrella yesterday. What a surprise,
and the one I picked from the boot of my
car was an old golf umbrella with big Brother written
on it, and as if there couldn't be more ignomy
attached to that, it flipped inside out as I was
walking down.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
The street, folded like the show.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Like the show did many years ago.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
We've got an array of golf umbrellas, many many different ways.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
And you never know what's on the because they've folded up,
and so you know, they're all promotional things on the
tool says one. You're walking around, you wouldn't even know.
But Sydneys expected to cop another wet week. This is
the worst or the worst of the weather is expected
today and tomorrow, so there's still more to come. This
is Sydney's wettest August in twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Years, wow, twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
And because we've still got how many months to go
until the end of the year, four months to go,
we've already hit our annual rainfall, So going what's going
to happen?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know, I'm not going to miss getting up in
the morning and putting all the wet weather gear on
to come in here. When we go to the Fruited
Plaines next year, it'll be a different time.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
I can actually even catch the training to work. Be
one of those people that gets on the train.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
I don't know. I'm not giving up my motorbike. Wonder
if I have my motorbike.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
On the train for what reason?

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, just you get it on there, you get off the.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Train just here. Yeah, I know, so you just look
like an idiot.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Just ride it on there, sit on it and just
I've often wondered that Chinale station, for example, you can
ride directly from the platform onto the train.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
But then if you do that you get here, the
train station is like two seconds away, you'd look like
a like a fool.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I look pretty cool. People accept that. What's the rules
on that?

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Because you can take what I e bikes on that
and you're taking an e bike anyway.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
People who do that is because you need your bike
to go riding for seven hours the other end of
the trip. You're not doing that either.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
You can't tell me what to do. Man, you say
that to Peter Fonder and Born.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
To be Wild?

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Wasn't he easy rider?

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Easy rider?

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I'll say it to him wherever I like on Golden Pond,
I'll tell him as well, I see, and that was
just his dad. Loo. I didn't even see that fun.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Wasn't.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, but I think Peter appeared in that. I think
he might have been.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
No, was he really Anyway, let's leave it there.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
I'll tell you this about the dams though.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I was going to do damn watch, but there's no
point because all the dams are full. Remember some years ago,
only five years ago, we're all drinking mud and now.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Only five years of desalination planned.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, but no, that was more than that. That was
Bobca's leg see to Sydney, the yoursels where you need
a plan.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
We're going to have no toll ways, no roads that
are wider than two lanes, but we're going to have
a desalination plan. Although someone did say me, Nathan Rees
said that they forecasted the what was his name, the
big climate guy everyone listened to, and he disappeared.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah, he was.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Saying that we're all going to be drinking mud. So
that's why they came in with the desalilation plan.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
We still may you never know.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
We know Australia is a country of droughts and flooding
rain that.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Is a movable feast thanks to climate change. We can't
deny well you know.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, yeah, look I'm not denying climate change. But you
know it's been going on for a long time.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yes it has.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yes, Yes, let's not get all you know.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Or what Brendan are you? You know, if you don't
talk about changing weather patterns, you needed to say it's
not related to climate change.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Of course, the climate is always changing. We have this
discussion many times.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
That's right, But you know predictions and stuff there are,
there is telemetry, you can you.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I've seen water World, man, I know how it works.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
That's right. And they're saying that all the like the
Sydney weather is moving up into Brisbane and Melbourne or no,
I've got it all around the wrong way. Melbourne weather
is going to be so much nicer than Sydney now.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, Melbourne's the nice city as far as that.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
See, blame climate change on that.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
We should all move to Melbourne.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Should we get on with the show?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Sure. Sean McCall's going to be Joiny's on the shade today.
I'm looking forward to Catches.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Runner up on Dancing with the Star. He was very
very I had no idea he was going to be
that good. Are TikTok Tucker is on the way?

Speaker 9 (06:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, for all of that Instagram makes us return, and
we can't do anythinguntil we do the Magnificent seven.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Well popular fast food chain is known for its golden arches.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah Nation gold on a one point seven.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Hello there as jonesy Amanda, thanks to Mojo Holmes, Rain
seventeen in the city sixteen in out West.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
I know that your eyes were glazing over there. But
Ryan with a B and I were just talking about infrastructure.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Good morning, right, and we were just saying which one
would be easier to fix?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
The Wakerst Parkway or the Orderly Weir.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Both of which close the first sign of a unicorn team.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Then the bookends of the metropolis.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
When you look at it, you've got the Wagers Parkway
in the north, Orderly We're in the south.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
And Ryan and I were.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Just discussing discussing the Wagers Parkway.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
What is that? Is it a causeway or it's a
weird It's like a causeway.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
I think it's right.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
So the Orderly Weir is a weir, but I reckon,
you cant.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Say a causeway. What do these words even mean? A
weir is across the waterway, yes, cause wakers parkways just
to road, but we is not a dam but it
holds back water like my ankles.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, but a parkway.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Parkways just a road, wakers, parkways just a road.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, but it's it's there's the water washes across it.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
The water washes across it because it goes down into
a valley. Yes, as it's called gravity.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
With the lakes makes its way very close and underneath.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yes, so it doesn't take much. So have they just
raised the thing or drain Narrabean Lake? Am I the
own one with an engineering degree in this room?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Train?

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Now I been Lake and Amanda's ankle waters.

Please, I'm going to get speak of weather with my ankle.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
It'll be like no damns. Oh, let's get into the
magnificent seven. We could talk into structure all day, but
there's no time. Seven questions? Can you go all the
way and answer all seven questions correctly? If you do that,

Speaker 14 (14:01):
Jonesy and Amanda Podcast, Jonesy and Amanda will make Radio
greed again.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Just racks from me out rich you ad throw an
English language out the window. I'm going to flip through
the Germanic our big book of musical facts. What I
feel like talking about today? How about this one? On
this day? In nineteen ninety two, Spin Doctors released the
hit two Princes Great Song. This is the band's biggest
and most popular hit. So popular this was you know this?

(14:30):
You have to be very famous for this to happen.
A parody version of the song appeared on Sesame Street.
They sang up with them, I've princess, Hey, that's all good.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
That's yalla, doram so's stop, he's good.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
It's no good, so just get.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Almost as bad as getting the Glee treatment.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Oh, Glee made so many songs go to the top
of the chart. Tell that to Dave Grohl, what happened?

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Well, Dave Grohl refused to have any food fighter stuff
on Glee?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Did he surprised to hear that he had other things
on his mind? Someone else who had a crack at
this was Kelly Clarkson last come just got maybe not
one of the basus which muff and is she just
got that's flinching when they put the hand up.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well like the base though, she just got. That's for
the back line. Baby.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
She's brilliant, isn't she? But you know what, let's give
two princes a crowd.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Fun fact about Home and Away It was inspired by
residents of Kangaroo Point here in Sydney objecting to them
the people that wanted to build a refuge for troubled
youth and the people the fair residence of Kangaroo Points said, Oh,
we don't want these little near do world kids hanging around.
So the writer was inspired by that.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Is that kind of the theme of Home and Away.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
I was Home and Away and they originally wanted to
call it refuge, and then when I, no, that's probably
not very good.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Let's call it home and Away.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
I lived in Kangaroo Point for a number of years
and I used to go for a run up the
hill where that that particular the refuge was. Yeah, and
it's fine. There was no trouble whatsoever. You wouldn't even
know it was.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
There was Time and Away, the one that was canceled
early and then moved to another Net ten.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (16:16):
Ten.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
It's not like ten to pass on a good show,
is it?

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Thank you Living Room?

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Not like them to do that. So so ten passed on it.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Seven picked it up and I've watched it over the years,
dipped in and out of it.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
But then Irene left Home and Away. Last night.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Lynn McGranger is a good friend of the show, aid
In Nicodemo, who's good friends of the show, I must
I haven't been watching the show as much as I would.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Like recently, but the storyline and Lynn took great pride
in saying that she was able, she was able to
develop it with the writers.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
And she wouldn't tell us about it.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I said, come on, Lenny, come on, is there an
elevator shaft to say something?

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, well, her character has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and
so she made the decision to leave and go traveling
while she still could, which is wise. What makes me anxious?
I used chat GPT to look at this this morning
to say, should someone with Alzheimer's travel alone? And I
don't know much about Alzheimer's And I'm sorry if I'm

(17:13):
stepping into territory that's not my business, but that's it said.
Look this, it takes all shapes and sizes, and you know,
there's not a one fit for anybody. But it would
seem that sometimes it can make you unpredictable, that it
takes away some stability in your life to be traveling
on your own, and all the arrangements that need to

(17:34):
be sorted. Who's to say when you start to get
a little bit worse and you don't know how to
take care of those travel arrangements. For one thing.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Having said that that she was worried about forgetting all
the people that she knew. So if you go to
another place, you're meeting new people all the time, so
you don't have that thing where you've forgotten something.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, but what if you've made a booking somewhere and
you know where am I staying? He's sleeping in the
Venice Canal?

Speaker 3 (17:58):
So why would you go straight to the canals? You
always go straight to the canals. What's with that? I
think that's just you. So Lynn lasted on the show. Well,
I just found it was a little underwhelming.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Do you think there'd be a big blanket?

Speaker 7 (18:14):
You know?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
This alien crash.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
There's been playing crash, there's been bomb explosions. There was
a stalker.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Remember a woman stalked all of Summer Bay, which is
quite the job to stalk a whole town.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
She was exhausted. She can't find her now swimming in
the canal.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
That's very hard. So they put out a bit of
a party for her. This is what Irene said.

Speaker 16 (18:34):
Excuse me everyone, and I's r up for a minute.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
I just want to say.

Speaker 16 (18:42):
Thank you all so very much for coming here today
and celebrating with me, and it means a world to me.
I have to leave now, but I want you all
to stay here. More music, more talking, more doing what
joy I was making these memories as honestly the most

(19:06):
important thing that you'll ever do.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
That's emotional. Why would you feel that was underway?

Speaker 2 (19:12):
You know, the aforementioned stalker bombs, plane crashes, shunami's all
that sort of stuff. John who Shane Withington plays the
character of John.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
They're not romantically.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Linked, close friends.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
But at the end Irene presents this to him. Probably
it presumptuous of me.

Speaker 16 (19:29):
But if you can tear yourself away from the surf
plump for a few weeks, it's a ticket to Paris.
I want you to meet me at the Eiffel Town.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
So you see, it's it's not goodbye, it's all one.

Speaker 17 (19:51):
I will be there, you mark my words, Come hell
or high water, I will be there.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
I'll see you around.

Speaker 11 (20:00):
Where.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
No, it made no plans.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
That's a problem. There's no plans.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
There's no plans that John getting away from the surf
club like he does, sweet fa around that joint.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Anyway, I probably find the time I serve. I think
people probably found that very emotional because they were really
saying goodbye to Lean as much as Irene.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
The Internet hasn't been kind.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh what have they said?

Speaker 2 (20:18):
They seriously couldn't even get all the current main cast
in let alone previous characters.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Low key, a bit of s This is.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
What you said? You said there were many people.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
There wasn't many people. There was likely about ten people there.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Did she put the drinks on for free?

Speaker 3 (20:32):
Where the well?

Speaker 2 (20:33):
That's a good no, because Irene is a boozehound and
they can't.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
You know, they had to have a mocktail.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
That's why no one was there.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
You can't have a going around classic everyone on the
last time.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
See that's the drama you're after. Irene goes a little
bit berserk.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Where the beep is the rest of the bay? Someone's written,
surely not working?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Why is only two percent of the cast at Irene's farewell?

Speaker 12 (20:59):
Like?

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Where's Cash?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Tane and Mackenzie rosted day?

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Often Cash is that one's incredibly hunky.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
I saw him at the Logis. I was having a
photo with some people along the way and he said,
let me take it. He's in real life because I
used to seeing hunks on TV. In real life, his
shoulders are massive. He's like a g I Joe doll.
His head's relatively normal size, shoulders massive. He was wearing
a suit that he could not have got off the rack.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
He spent a lot of time checking him out. But
he's too hunky for TV?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Is he too hunky?

Speaker 3 (21:30):
You can have that problem. I've had that problem, too
hunky for TV.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Do you think this leaves the way open for Irene
to come back? If you're not characters had their heads
lopped off and still come back. Her saying I'm just
going overseas for a little while, she's going to come back.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I thought they would have been pulled the last minute
death on the beach or something.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
I was waiting for that. I wandered off. I was
waiting for, like a piano.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
To drop it, for an anvil just to fall from
the sky.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
They got me as a guest director. I would have
been there with my board.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
I go now, post credits, post credits, that's it.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, and then they play out the theme on piano.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
You are a genius too, hunky Fatima. Yeah, if only
you could buy a shirt off the Rack.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Nation podcast down to the Jonesy no matter of arms.
For the pub test, a female James Bond Does that
pass the pub test?

Speaker 17 (22:23):
Well?

Speaker 1 (22:23):
The US production and distribution company that's going to be
making the new James Bond has said it's planning a
fresh take on the franchise. He said it would honor
the legacy of the iconic character. But people are wondering
what does that mean in the new as you say,
Brendan woke Hollywood, does that mean there might be a
female Bond. Helen Mirren has said she and she said

(22:44):
huge feminist. She said, but I think James Bond has
to be a guy. You can't have a woman. It
doesn't work. James Bond has to be James Bond, although
she has said in the past that James Bond is
drenched and borne out of profound sexism.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh yeah, where else can you get great sexism like this.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Or this?

Speaker 7 (23:06):
Thank me?

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Felix later, Felix say.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Smackster on the bottom. As a teenager, I hated James
Bond for exactly that, for exactly the I go oh
as if and I just didn't James Bond. I didn't
like the sexism. I didn't like any of that stuff.
I didn't see I didn't see the camp kind of
humor in it. But that the new films don't have
that camp humor anyway, and he's not as misogynistic. Now

(23:36):
there does grunty adventures. It may as well be mission impossible.
It's another storyline.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
I James Bond has become a bit reacher, which is why.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
I think it's more enjoyable. They've just become adventure movies.
But I agree, I don't think James agreed. Well yeah,
but there'd be other people who might think otherwise.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
What about a trans bond.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Is the name for car trans bond?

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Well, he's always got gadgets and you know, always changing would.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Be a thing.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Well this is the thing. Who can say how it's
going to go? Maybe this is the way it's going
to go. How would you feel about it? You know,
is it all right to mess with James Bond? What
do you think a female James Bond? A fond? Does
it past the pub test?

Speaker 6 (24:23):
Yeah, sam Na said.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
I know you're trying to inflame me by saying it.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Ladies, actual your husband if you used.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Fast, shut up from the f around and find out files.
What about quantas when they sacked eighteen hundred workers, they
saved one hundred and twenty five million dollars.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Now the ninety.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Million dollars they've got to shell out fifty million to
the tw a U and forty million in fines.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
It comes to two hundred and forty million dollars.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Will that be passed on to us? Will the fares
go up?

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Oh yeah probably yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, so we get to pay that.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah, peanuts are going to go up. You get on
the plane?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I meanyway.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, just if you're a corporate executive, just think about it.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Just think about that. Think about that.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Coming up the pub test this morning, a female James Bond.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Helen Mirren, big feminist who thinks James Bond is misogynistic,
even she says it should be a male We'll talk
about that Net James podcast.

Speaker 10 (25:22):
When I wanted to get on right now, go to
your windows, stick your head on a gel, down to
the Jones and men arounds to the pub test.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
A female James Bond doesn't pass the pub.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Would this be the new iteration? The US production company
said it's planning a fresh take on the franchise. Helen
Mirren has been asked about what she thinks about this.
Here's what she said.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
The iconic British franchise Is it time for a female Bond?

Speaker 1 (25:53):
No? No, it wouldn't work.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
James Bond's a car a bloke.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
You just can't you know, you can't avoid it.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Where else are you going to get this puss? Another
old school massage?

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Thank me foreks later? Yeah, thank think say good bye
the Felix man talk.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Come on.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
And he slapped on the bump, slept on the bomb.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
How do you feel about this a female James Bond
A Fond? Does it past the pub test?

Speaker 10 (26:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (26:29):
No, I don't think the pub test. So you can
have strong female characters staying the line, characters like Ripley
from Alien without having their male characters, and make it
a female character.

Speaker 18 (26:40):
There is no way a female could do the same role.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
You know, it'd be changing another character saying, oh McCulloch Coulkland.

Speaker 12 (26:46):
Now has to be a girl at home alone.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
No.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
I think that James Bond should say is James Bond,
and maybe you'd make another secret service agent to win
it female?

Speaker 10 (26:57):
James Fond, No, it does Trann I Jim Fond, why not?

Speaker 4 (27:04):
No, I don't think a past the pub test.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
I think you've got to keep it as a man.

Speaker 18 (27:07):
And I was thinking maybe you could be.

Speaker 15 (27:09):
Snoop dogg and instead of using gadgets, he could slip
his enemies a split or some gummies and then feed
them caint tim tams or wagon wheels to.

Speaker 12 (27:18):
Get rid of them.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Well, mister Bond, I've got the munchh that's what I'm
doing for TikTok tuker necks.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I'm going to lace whatever we have with a little
bit of something something.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Not the old dcms. What's that death cab bashrooms.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
No, No, I've moved on from that. Starting what you
do with that?

Speaker 15 (27:38):
You do it?

Speaker 19 (27:39):
That's a fancy the moldy, bacteria infested slab.

Speaker 15 (27:43):
Of meat fall off the results to give your diary.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
TikTok tuckup. We make foods from TikTok and eat it.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Do you like brownies?

Speaker 3 (27:54):
I love brownies.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
So brownies are highly calorific, which is punsy way of
saying they get they make you fat. So this isn't
being labeled as a diet brownie. The problem with this
is it, Well, people will love this. I'm not a
coffee drinker, so this is going to be industrial strength
for me. It's a coffee brownie. But here is the

(28:18):
point of difference. You don't just put a bit of
coffee flavoring into a brownie. The brownie itself is this
how do you describe this, Brendan?

Speaker 3 (28:29):
The coffee tampa?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (28:31):
The thing?

Speaker 1 (28:32):
You know, the when you're making a coffee and a
coffee machine and you get that it looks like a
hockey puck. The plug, the big coffee plug. So that's
what the brownie is. So basically, you put two on
top of each other. So get read. I'm just going
to get this out of it.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
We've come down to your own coffee shop.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I'll i you back. It didn't pay last time. I'd
call it a bit of crumpet. What would you call it?

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Something like has been like b a m wow wow
top of the bean.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Okay, let's see I can add some mushrooms to yours.
All right, So I'm getting this coffee plug. I've got
to get it out. How does it?

Speaker 12 (29:15):
There?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
It is? Look there it is. There's one.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Imagine it's an air fryer.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
There's what's that? Have I've broken something else?

Speaker 9 (29:21):
That's one you've broke in the chopping board.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
There's two. So we've now got these two plugs that
look like brownies, don't they? There are two intense coffee plugs.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
So there's nothing else in there other than.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
No, no, no, it's going to be more then that bit. Yes,
then I'm going to add some things to it.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
That in the center of the plate.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Okay, mister anol, Now we're going to put some salt
on it. That looks good, doesn't it. It's not a
nickname you want, though, is it? What kind of competition
would that be? Anyway?

Speaker 3 (30:01):
It right?

Speaker 12 (30:02):
Now?

Speaker 1 (30:04):
So we've got our coffee pods. They're the words I'm
looking for, but from proper coffee machine, like a George
Clooney pod. So we've got cough, We've got that. I've
put salt on top. Now I put chocolate sauce on
it and around it, mostly around it ready, a drizzle
a drizzle of chocolate sauce, and a little bit on

(30:26):
top because I feel like it chocolate sauce. The next
bit I do is I'm going to put some whipped
cream on it and around it. And then that's what
about the coffee pipe. That's pretty much it. I don't
want to do the whipped cream until we're ready to
eat it because it will just go. I want this
to be as I saw it. On TikTok because the
guy who ate it said it was great.

Speaker 14 (30:47):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Podcast, What You Do.

Speaker 19 (30:56):
It's a fancy the moldy, bacteria infested slab.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Of meat.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
To give you today.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
I'm making diet coffee brownies or just one really, and
we're going to share it.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Come up with a name for your coffee van. What
is it Moncey's coffee van.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
It's quirky, isn't it. I sinking Amanda's Liquid Emporium because
I'd serve tea as well.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
So I've taken that's a lot of sign writing.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
I've taken the plug for one of a better word
out of this. This is the barista kind of coffee.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
What's been called?

Speaker 1 (31:35):
I don't know, but we've got two of those coffee plugs.
I don't even drink coffee, so this is going to
kill me. What we've done though, So those two plugs
are on top of each other. I've put salt on it,
I've put chocolate topping around it and on it, and
now it's time for the whipped cream.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
It's not even Saturday.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Don't be a fool.

Speaker 12 (31:54):
Oh you do it?

Speaker 1 (31:56):
You got a crack, don't don't spray it at me either,
I'm I'm not on top, and I blop here please
and individual blops. That's how I've seen it on TikTok.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yep, and one there people put glue in their hand.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I'm present.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
I'll just get a little bit of a dog piece.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Well, okay, thank you. Well this is it now, this
is the diet coffee brownie. Your coffee pod with whipped
with salt, chocolate sauce, whipped cream. How is it going
to taste you? Take a spoon, Brendan, Brian, I'll try
and pass you some over. I'm scared it's all going
to collapse when I dig in in. Oh no, look
it stays solid. Okay, Brian, sorry skew his.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Fingers, standards have dropped it once. He's coffee van.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Here's yours, Brendan. Let's dig in and take a chunk.
You've got to take the chocolate shake everything.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
What's the calorie county?

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Apparently it's very low. Do you know that, because that's
what the guy on TikTok said. When I say three,
we're going to taste it?

Speaker 9 (32:59):
One two, three, Oh, it's pretty No.

Speaker 20 (33:12):
No, no, no, no, at first, no, it's just oh
my god, No, my teeth.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
It's just a mouthful of the o the thickest coffee granules.
You Brian, Brian, how are you feeling.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
Horrible?

Speaker 1 (33:44):
It is horrible quick m oh my god, I think
that is you know how dare TikTok lie to us?
The guy said it was delicious. No, you're not having
any water, Brian. You're gonna put the whipped cream in
your mouth. Brian has chosen to down down cream straight

(34:10):
in the mouth. It's like that's look at you. It
looks like you've been negotiation time around your mouth all
brown we've had. I think someone has lied to us
on TikTok. Oh my god, put this in your mouth.
Look at your brown chin. Seriously, even if there was

(34:32):
tomato sauce in here, I'd skull that right now.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
I'm not going to mcv ever again.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
What's that? No, the diet coffee brownie has not been
a success, but we'll put the recipe on our socials
in case you'd like to prank your friends, which I
think is what's we've been pranked.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
I'd rather put glue in my head.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Well, that's next week.

Speaker 7 (34:54):
That you do.

Speaker 19 (34:55):
It's a fancy the moldy bacteria invested slab of meat.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Oh yeah, I'm listening to you gargle. I'm going to
be awake for a year having ingested that much coffee.
Stop that noise. We're just hearing your throat mucus. Stop it.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Podcast.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Hands up. Who was surprised at how fabulous a dancer?
Sean mccarloff was. I've known this man for years. I
was surprised. He's raising his own hand on the zoom. Hello, Sean,
how are.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
You, Amanda Jonesy, how are you?

Speaker 2 (35:34):
We are very I wasn't surprised in any way. I
knew you would bring the dance to the DF and you.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
At the dance floor, and absolutely you did. Here's some
of the things that judges had to say about you.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
The timing is great, I mean, your your humor is
so good. And to be able to dance the way
you do and bring that time into everything you do
is a hidden skill.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
You may not be the best dancer. I'm sorry to
disappoint you, but you are most definitely the best entertainer.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
We are kindred souls, you and me, Sean. I know
you guys.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
You guys lowered the bar for me.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Well, Helen said exactly the same about me.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
That's not exactly and a half of music, and that's
not how I remember it. A bit more like this.
You had a minute and a half of music and
in that time there's over two hundred beats, and I
don't think you hit one of them. That's what you
said about Jonesy. But you were incredible. Was this a
hidden skill? Was only when you were into it you
realized that you could do it? Yeah?

Speaker 17 (36:34):
Look at the reason I said yes to it was
not because I could dance, not because I had any
confidence in it. I just thought it'd be fun experience.
I just thought it'd be an interesting thing to do.
It was just such the opposite thing to do after
doing Mad as Hell for like eleven years, where I
sat behind a desk and read an autoqueue. This was
something that proved I had legs and I didn't have.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
To I didn't have to talk. That was the other
thing it was. It was great. I mean it must
have been like, you know, both of you have done it.

Speaker 17 (37:02):
Yeah, I mean, a man, you've done it kind of
on the other side, but Jonesy, you've done it.

Speaker 11 (37:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I've done a bit Amanda dance she was inc She
was one of the early adapts.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
And I didn't enjoy it at all. But what I
liked about you was that you held on to yourself.
That was an unusual dance move, but I mean that
you you stayed as yourself, so there was a slight
sort of goofiness and to it as well. You didn't
become a punce, which I think is a fine line
on that show.

Speaker 17 (37:29):
All right, Okay, Well I avoided the punts side of it.
I'm a big fan of musicals, so for me, it
was like an acting job. I just thought, well, i'll
be I'll pretend to be an act I'll pretend to
be a dancer. So I watched a lot of Fred
Astaire and Gene Kelly stuff before I went in, and
I had a bit of a say in the choreography.
In fact, most of them. It's a ninety second routine,

(37:51):
which is not a lot, and I think the first
twenty I worked out myself, my partner and a choreographer. Actually,
Hunter let me choreograph the first fifteen to twenty seconds
of each routine just so I could be myself, I suppose.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
And so yeah, look, you know that's that's the secret.
Anybody can do it if you just pretend.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Yeah, and then you've got to practice a lot.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
They tell you, they say to you when they sign
you up for you don't have to you want two
hours a day, And I thought, well, I could learn
German in two hours a day.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Next minute you're doing eight hours.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
If only you just learned German instead, that.

Speaker 17 (38:26):
Would have been an interesting offer, if you could have
just gone on every routine is just youscriber, give me
a give me a lectern and a strange mustache.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Well it did work, it worked before, even.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
If destruction is back on tonight. It's a fabulous construct
where you ask people if their house was on fire,
if the house was being destroyed, world ending, what would
they take? What would your what would your things be?
What's what's something that you'd nominate?

Speaker 17 (38:58):
Look, I've got I've got a few books that have
been autographed by people I admire, and I think those
are the really I have thought about this, and I've
got like, as I sit and talk to you now,
I can look over and see that I've a bunch
of awards, a LOGI there for that old show we
did a man?

Speaker 4 (39:14):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 1 (39:15):
I remember it?

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Very well generation Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Jonesy, they let me keep it. Let me kick one
of the several that have won. I got that there.

Speaker 17 (39:23):
I've got some actors there, I've got some afires, and
I've got a.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
I've even got an aria. Could you believe I.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Actually have an ari?

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Why have you got an Aria?

Speaker 17 (39:31):
I won an ARIA for actually a talk show I
did the first time I did it back in twenty
five years ago, Macarloff Tonight. It was a show on
Channel Night.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
I remember.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
Yes, it died terribly.

Speaker 17 (39:42):
It wasn't successful at all, but it did win an
ARIA for the DVD release.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
So I've got that there. But I let all that go.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
That could.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
I don't care about the awards on my headphone box.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Look at this on the zoom. There's your little head.
You had a sticker. That's a sticker from Macliffe Tonight.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
There we go.

Speaker 17 (39:57):
That's well, that's that's the only thing that remains. That's
the on this award over there.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
But you remain and that's the most important part.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
I remind but it.

Speaker 17 (40:06):
There's a couple of books, one with somebody John please,
he's got this book called The Collected Sketches of Muriel
Vole Strangler and he signed that for me, and I
probably would want to keep that.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
And there's also a book by.

Speaker 17 (40:20):
Steve Martin called Cruel Shoes which he's signed, which I
would probably want to keep as well. Then again, there's
an Eric Idol LP that's signed as well, and Terry
Jones and Michael paleon you know it says got Python.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Podcast.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
We lost Dave Stratton last week.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
He used to do the reviews, the movie reviews with
Margaret Promorants and really part of our upbringing.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Oh absolutely, and for many of us who grew up
with no movie culture apart from I know how you
like to watch SPS on a certain night and the
cheese cloth would fall off someone's shoulders as they played
the piano and.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
Jeeze cloth inside Bulls.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Mondays, that's true, right, it was world movie time for you.
But he and Margaret bought the world cinema to suburban Australia,
they really did.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
And he reviewed many, many, many movies.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
But one that popped up in my algo that's algorithm
was his review of The Castle.

Speaker 3 (44:53):
Yeah, The Castle. I just love that movie.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
I love it so much and whenever it comes on,
I just find myself watching it because it's such and
it gets better and better.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
It's one of Australia's most loved films.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
But let's go back to the lens of nineteen ninety seven.
David wasn't a big fan.

Speaker 8 (45:09):
Well, I'm afraid it wasn't for me, Margaret. I really
didn't get onto the wavelengths of this film at all.
I thought it was patronizing towards its characters. I didn't
find it funny. I mean, I just thought it was silly,
and technically it really is. I mean, you say it's rough,
I mean it's very rough.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
How many stars are you going to give this?

Speaker 17 (45:27):
I'll give it one and a half out out one
and a half stars.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Did you know there was a guy who turned down
the Beetles remember that?

Speaker 3 (45:35):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah, he said they're not going to go They're not
going anywhere, and been spoken about this recently.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Who's going to drink juice?

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Oh, that's right, you were offered, that's from me. There
was an offer to get in on the ground level
of boost juice. He said, So I'm going to drink juice.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
It wasn't a dodgy deal.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Now at the time, I just thought it was going
to be a trestle table Jeanie Ellis with a trestle
table making juice, and people buy it.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
Who's going to drink that?

Speaker 2 (46:01):
And you know these are the things like you look
at all in your life. And David years later came
out and said he was wrong. And that's the thing
about a critic.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
You can be wrong, but the sliding doors for all
of us. You know the things we got wrong, whether
it's a movie, a band, whatever it is, you think
that's not taking off anything.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Else you've done or you missing.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
I'm always right, always finger on the pulse, always correct.
You did say that I'd never make it like I said,
always correct.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
I wouldn't do a show with him.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Maybe that's something that the Tribal Drama would beat for
the honor of David Well.

Speaker 3 (46:36):
I was wrong about that.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
I'll give it one and a half.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
What have you been wrong about? And you've lived to
rue the day?

Speaker 2 (46:42):
Could be inventions, could be musicals, could be movies, would
be anything. The problem I guess with being a critic
is your reviews can come back to haunt you after
you've gone. David Stratton, for example, didn't rate The Castle
the Tribal Dramas beating for Well.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
I was wrong about that.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
I'll give it one and a half.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Hello, Lisa, what were you wrong? About Hi.

Speaker 11 (47:04):
It's actually about my grandfather. When he was a young bloke,
his mate asked him if he could borrow five pounds
from him because he has this new idea.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
For a shop.

Speaker 11 (47:16):
And he said, do you just want your five pounds
back or do you want your fifty percent share? And
my grandfather said, no, mate, just give him a five
pounds back. And it was wollwork, Oh, Lisa, So what
was this?

Speaker 1 (47:35):
You sleep at night?

Speaker 11 (47:36):
He was this, And so we've been pocause all our life.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
What year was this, Lisa?

Speaker 9 (47:43):
What year?

Speaker 7 (47:44):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (47:45):
I have no idea?

Speaker 4 (47:46):
A long time was a young bloke?

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Yeah right, oh, Lisa. The sliding doors ground to a halt.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Bottom line is one point two billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Lisa, Thank you, Lida. You're happy, You're happy. You're so
so happy.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
I've been poor all my life.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
We got that fifty bucks. Aaron is with us, Hi, Aaron.

Speaker 7 (48:06):
Hi, guys, I I admit I had to ring in
with I heard the topic this morning because many, many
years ago, my dad was the sales manager at a
car dealership and he had two young brothers that worked
for him getting the cars ready in the detailing department.

Speaker 15 (48:20):
Of the dealership, and they were really slacking off. They
were coming in late to work and they're wanting to
leave early, and they just weren't getting the cars done.
So it is onll on for a little while. And
then he called them in, shut the door and sat
them down, said to the brothers, boys, what's going on? Like,
you're in late, you're leaving early, you're not getting the
jobs done. Like, I've got to have some answers to you, guys.

(48:41):
And they said, well, we're going to fess up. We
should have told this to you earlier. But we're in
a band and we're getting heaps of gigs. We're playing
every night, and things are really going well for us.
And he said, well, boys, you've got to make some
decisions in your careers. You either stay doing what you're
doing or you chase your music career. And you guys
have got to make a decision. They said, well, we're
going to make a decision right now. We're going to

(49:03):
chase our music career. We think it's going to go somewhere.
And further to that, we'd like you to be our
band manager because we don't have one. And he said, no, guys,
I've got a young family and I've got to focus
on them. So I'm going to say no. Those two
boys were the Faris brothers and they went on.

Speaker 12 (49:20):
To be in.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Aaron.

Speaker 7 (49:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (49:27):
So on Christmas Day every year, we play an inexcess
song as loud as we can and Dad seats.

Speaker 13 (49:33):
At the end of the table and shake your head.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Could your dad do you? Reckony? Could have done it?
Because like, really, there's.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
Not much between a car dealer and a manager, a
manager of a band, they're pretty much there.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
There's King Kings of.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
The spin Jonesy.

Speaker 15 (49:49):
I think it's all about sales, right. If you can sell,
I think you're going to go okay in the mirrors
to industry. As a manager, you've also.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Got to be able to pick a winner, and sadly
that let him down.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
That's a thing.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
Aaron. Thank you, going to sensitive to your dad giving
me Christmas Day. I'm going to take more of your calls.

Speaker 14 (50:06):
Jonesy and Amanda Podcast, Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
Gods, you're exhausting.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
You're so exhausting.

Speaker 2 (50:19):
The problem with being a critic is that your reviews
can come back and haunt you after you've gone. David Stratton,
for example, well loved movie critic, but his review of
the Castle, Who's got the tribal drum beating Today?

Speaker 3 (50:30):
I was wrong about that.

Speaker 4 (50:32):
I'll give it one and a half.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
I don't know how you can can come back to
haunt you if you've passed away, walks.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
Into where everyone's going. What movies did David have a
harsh eye on?

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Yeah? And he went on later to say he said
he was right wrong. So let's see where you've been wrong?
Hello Rob, how are you goodday?

Speaker 15 (50:51):
Guys?

Speaker 18 (50:51):
How I am right?

Speaker 12 (50:52):
Well?

Speaker 1 (50:52):
What did you get wrong?

Speaker 13 (50:55):
So a bit of a cricket tragic. I was watching
the cricket many many years ago and a guy came
on the ball and I thought, Gesz's ordinary, Like they
could have picked me. I could do a better job.
It turns out I was critiquing Shane.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Warn Do you still think you could have done a
better job?

Speaker 15 (51:11):
Rob?

Speaker 13 (51:12):
Probably not?

Speaker 2 (51:13):
No, I like Cave've still when Warnie started, a lot
of people said that about him his bowling.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Style and it was a spin we I hadn't seen
that in such a quirky style.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
Thanks Rob. Tony has joined us, Hello Tony?

Speaker 1 (51:23):
What were you wrong about the morning?

Speaker 4 (51:26):
Guys?

Speaker 18 (51:26):
I was wrong about bitcoin? I was at a family
barbecue and there was this guy there and he was
on about this thing, this new thing, and he's like, oh,
even invested one hundred dollars and you'll make a lot
of money and so forth. At the times I were
worth thirty cents per bitcoin. Right now there were one

(51:47):
hundred and seventy five thousand per bitcoin.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
One hundred and seventy five thousands.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
So if you'd given a hundred bucks, how much would
you have in your pocket now?

Speaker 18 (51:56):
I would have I did the maps while I was
waiting about fifty eight million dollars.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
The milky bars would have been on Tony, but he absolutely,
Oh Tony, I don't feel so bad about saying no
to Boost.

Podcast. How are you feeling?

Speaker 2 (52:21):
You know that TikTok tucket today? And we've had a
good run lately the last weeks.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
One was good, the week before that was good.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Today's could have been good. It was a diet coffee brownie.
It was a plug of coffee from a machine with
salt on it. And it's like it's supposed to be
la to say, like a diet brownie, salt chocolate sauce,
whipped cream. I'm not a coffee drinker. My head feels
like a bowling ball. I've had that intense hit of coffee.

(52:50):
I've just taken some panetle. I feel disgusting. My teeth
fell or great. I went to the lub before and
I saw in the mirror, I've got coffee grains all
through my teeth.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
Yeah, that was that tour group was looking strangely at
you when they came through. Is that why once you
got the bibotic plague?

Speaker 2 (53:07):
Your reaction at the time time, No, no, no, no, no,
at first, No, okay, it's just oh, I loved it.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
I see a co lab coming out of that one.

Speaker 1 (53:29):

social synerm gem jam Nation twenty thousand dollars for our

got the house to ourselves, and wouldn't you know it,

Come.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
You know what gets my rulies.

Speaker 5 (54:14):
I'm watching Tipping Point and I watch the contestance when
when the other one gets some over the some of
the coins over the over the line, over the edge,
and they cheer.

Speaker 4 (54:25):
And clap like they're happy for them. Come on, you

go on.
