This episode is a wild ride, covering everything from the importance of personal space in relationships to the absurdity of some dating experiences. The hosts share their own stories and invite listeners to share theirs, with some truly eye-opening results. They also discuss the latest news on social media algorithms and the proposed changes to the way they work, which could have a significant impact on our online experiences.

The conversation is lighthearted and entertaining, but also touches on some serious topics, like the need for greater responsibility from social media platforms when it comes to protecting young people from online harm.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Ready, Jim?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Everybody online.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Well, hello there, Amanda.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
I was a little bit worried there for a minute.
I thought I'd left my parking light.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
On my motorcycle. And I sent you a text because
I got to work here before you. And I sent
you a text. Can you just check to see if
my parking light is on on my bike? Because I
don't want to finish the show and have a flat battery.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Have you checked your phone? Because by the time I
got your message, I was in the lift and it
was too late for me to look. And I said
to you, I'm in the lift. I can't look.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
And you'd say, what, you ride a motorbike? So anyway,
I just went down in the lift. We were on
the 16th floor. I went down in the lift. I
went down there, checked the bike. Everything was tickety-boo. Got
back in the lift and then it just, it felt,
it was probably about half a second, two seconds, but
it didn't move. And I would imagine if I was
trapped in that lift.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, I did have a bit of a tinker. I'm
surprised it works so well.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
With the lift? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
The maintenance guy and I said, can you just keep
him out for half an hour?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Right. And what would you do?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Is this your version of- Get Carl Stephan.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
No, be quiet.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
He's got some time on his hands. Would this be
your version, leaving your bike light on, of leaving the
oven on? I often think I've left the garage door open.
I think we've spoken about this.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
That's the worst.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I heard about- The number of times I drive around
my block just to check if my garage door's open.
And even if I see it's closed, I think, can
I trust what I've just seen? There is a technique
apparently where when you close the garage door, you go,
you make a parrot noise or you make a loud noise.
So you think, yes, I've made that loud noise. I
remember doing it.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Or you get the automatic close feature. So once you
go out, it automatically closes.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I've never heard of such a thing.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
We had one of those on... my old house, but
my wife would leave the garage like she was leaving
the bat cave. You know, the driving around, the door
would be open.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
So it would just automatically close.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Well, yes, you'd hope. But then you'd come home and
all your stuff's just on display.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's too much anxiety involved in that.
I'd rather go, bugger!

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I'm going to stick to the bugger.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, stick to the bugger.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's a good idea. That's a good tip to be
getting into the day.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, indeed.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Have you been following this algorithm thing, Albo and his algorithm?
Albo's algo?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
I think they're mooting some very interesting changes to the algorithm.
Emma Gillespie will give us all the information about that.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I watched Ray Gunn last night, the Ray Gunn documentary
on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
About Ronald Reagan?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
No, about Rachel Gunn.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
I was going to watch it this weekend.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
You watched it last night?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's worth watching.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I've got some thoughts about it.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Okay, we'll talk about that.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
The Fast Five, five questions. Can you go all the
way and answer all five questions correctly? If you do that,
Amanda will say.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Well, if you answer question five correctly, you get a
$ 250 Bevels jewellery gift voucher. That's got to be good.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Could be you, Andrew of Cronulla.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Hello, Andrew.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
How are you?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
I'm very well. How are you going?

Speaker 5 (03:34):
I'm good, Jonesy.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
I was down the beach this morning and I thought
it was you laying on the rocks in your sperm.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Suit, but it was a seal.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Thank you, Andrew.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Dare I ask what kind of suit that was?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
It would have been a trap.

Speaker 7 (03:50):
If you'll sit him dressed up in that bloody suit
that he wears, like God almighty.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
What suit's he talking about? Your wetsuit? Just a normal wetsuit, Andrew.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
What would you have me wear?

Speaker 6 (04:03):
Oh, well, boardies, mate.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh, boy, it depends if it's cold.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
Show your muscles.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's where we run into trouble, Andrew.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
This is what you like. Oh, okay. What are you
going to join Andrew's side?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Andrew, here's the question. Question number one. On Friday, the
MCG will host a regular season game of which sport
for the very first time in Australia?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
NFL.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
The NFL.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yes, we're going to. It's the Los Angeles Rams taking
on the San Francisco 49ers. There's been so much fun
watching the players take part in the food, the drink,
the culture.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
The language, where are the kangaroos, all of that kind
of stuff. There's a journo who's with them who's been
documenting all his food. It's just brilliant.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
And Christian McCaffrey, he just loves our coffee. It's been great. Yeah,
the coffee's unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
I don't know why nobody talked about that as much
as they should have beforehand. Someone slipped him a Pablo.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
We take for granted how good coffee, not just in Melbourne,
but all of Australia. You go to 7-Eleven, you get
a decent coffee. You go to America and it's just slop. Yeah.
It's terrible stuff.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
When I grew up, Mum used to have the Pablo,
which was coffee essence, really. But she'd put it into
the tins of International Roast so that it seemed a
bit more posh. It was a confusing time for me.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Andrew, let's play Riff Raff.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Give me a Riff Raff backstage.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Oh, Riff Raff. Got you.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
I understand.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Got to keep out the Riff Raff.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Okay, Andrew, what song has this riff?

Speaker 8 (05:25):
Riff Raff.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Andrew? Think about me in a wetsuit.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Rosanna by who?

Speaker 2 (05:49):
No.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
No.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
No.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
It's not Tattoo. No, but the song title is correct.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'll wear a tie to our wetsuit for you, Andrew.
Next time I'm down the beach.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Let's do it. We're fast in this thing, girl.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Fast in the speed of light. Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Fast Five. Fast Five.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Question number two. Let's play another jingle. It's Riff Raff.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
What are you doing?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Give me a Riff Raff backstage.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh, Riff Raff.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Got you. I understand.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
Got to keep up the Riff Raff.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Emily is in Dallaston.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Hi, Emily.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Dallaston, oh, Dallaston. Hey, how are we?

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Very well, thank you. Now, Andrew, our previous caller, kind
of guessed the song name.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
He did.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
But he got the band wrong. What song features this riff?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Any answers there, Emily?

Speaker 7 (06:46):
Yes, it's Rosanna by Toto.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
By Toto, that is. The Toto is the name of
a very famous toilet brand in Japan.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Is it really?

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, flushed with success.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Not tat.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
They want to be number one on the charts. not
number two. I don't know why they don't use that
in their kind of promotional work.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Any ideas there, Emily, why they don't use that?

Speaker 7 (07:09):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Question number three. This is multiple choice. King Wilhelm Alexander
of the Netherlands has secretly performed what second job for
many decades? Is he A, an airline pilot, B, a fireman, C,
a swimming pool lifesaver? A, B or C? C. No,
he's a swimming pool lifesaver.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Michael's in Indenza Park.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Hi, Michael.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
Hello. So this is talking about a working royal, King
Wilhelm Alexander of the Netherlands. He secretly performed what second
job for many decades, an airline pilot or a fireman?

Speaker 5 (07:46):
Airline pilot.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, he said he's rarely recognised while he's in the uniform.
So there you go.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Because he'd be flying the plane.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
And then so when he was the king, did he
mention that he was a pilot?

Speaker 3 (07:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
How do you know a pilot's in the room? Tell me.
Don't worry, they'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
You come from a family of pilots and you're the
big blabber.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
They never shut up about it. They make me do it.
Which video game series includes the Ocarina of Time?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
War.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
No, you're barking up the wrong tree there.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
We both know. Everyone knows you're wrong.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Let's save us all a bit of time. Hello, Amy
of Seven Hills. How are you?

Speaker 6 (08:27):
Hi, good day.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
There's a video game series that includes the Ocarina of Time.
I don't know if I'm speaking English, but apparently these
are words.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Donald Trump's just had a crack at one of his
AI things. Has he?

Speaker 3 (08:37):
So what video game series would it be?

Speaker 7 (08:39):
Ooh, I'm thinking it's The Legend of Zelda. Yes, it is.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
You know it. This is question five, Amy.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Here we go, Amy, the big final question.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
What major tennis tournament is underway in New York?

Speaker 6 (08:56):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Have a guess. A major tennis tournament? Nope. Jonesy's saying
time's up.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
You know, what is it with you? Is it not
everyone gets a prize? You've got to know the answers
to this stuff.

Speaker 8 (09:07):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
You don't see it happening on Tipping Point. You don't
see it happening on all the other quiz shows.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
All right, Brendan. You bully. You might get a bit
of PTSD.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Let's welcome to Amanda's nice space show, Everyone Gets a Prize.
Steve's in Maskell.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Hello, Steve. Hello.

Speaker 8 (09:23):
Hello.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Which major tennis tournament is underway in New York right now?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
US Open. US Open. That's what it's going to be. Concise, precise,
correct winner. Congratulations, Steve. You've won the jam pack. A
$ 250 Bevels jewellery gift voucher. Don't miss Bevels' iconic diamond
rush sale, Saturday the 12th of September. Steve, anything you'd
like to add?

Speaker 7 (09:49):
I'd love to thank you guys.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Love listening to your station.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
Have a great day.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Thank you, Steve.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Textbook praise as well.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Thank you, Steve.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
See a whole lot more of Jonesy and Amanda on
our socials. Jonesy and Amanda. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
You hungry?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I enjoy cooking bacon and stop working with flow. You're
making slack. What are you? We're going to make you
go yuck.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
It's where Amanda and I share a microphone and I'm
happy for it. No, I'm not. I'm just doing the
DJ stuff and then you can do your talenty bits.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
This is where we make recipes you may have seen
on TikTok. This is from a guy, an Australian guy
called Toby Wilson, who I follow on socials. And he
often makes things from old Australian cookbooks. And some of
them are horrendous and he'll acknowledge that. This one he
thinks is pretty good. It's Wheat Bix Gnocchi. So it's
taking classic Aussie Wheat Bix but making a pasta sauce

(10:42):
with them or a pasta.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I like when Gem Y Rice says gnocchi. Go and
say gnocchi.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Gnocchi. You're hoping he's going to say gnocchi, weren't you?
So we start with seven Wheat Bix. There's a couple
of steps in this process. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
We break up the Wheat Bix in the bowl. Seven
Wheat Bix. I add boiled water to this. And the
point is I've got boiled water, eggs and flour. And
to make kind of like a, A porridge-y paste. Watch

(11:11):
your hands. I'm about to pour boiling water.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I've got some good... Okay, that'll do.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
All right, that'll do. I need to pour this in now. Okay,
I'm adding... How much.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Do you reckon? About that? That looks like about a
cup of hot water.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
No, that wasn't a cup, I don't think. You put
your hands in there. It's boiling water. I'm supposed to
stir it all up. I'm going to use a knife.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Is it a bad luck to stir with a knife?

Speaker 3 (11:31):
I've never heard that. So I'm stirring, stirring, stirring. You
do that. You do that.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
It's bad luck, though.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Add to board water. Now we add in two cups,
two eggs. You ready?

Speaker 4 (11:42):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Two eggs are going in. There's one egg. And here's
another egg. I think we might need a spoon. Are
you okay with that?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Another egg. And then we add a cup of flour.
You ready for the cup of flour?

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, you're really going quickly on this.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Well, we kind of have to or else you'll say
I'm going too slowly. Let me get my hands in there.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Get your hands in there.

Speaker 7 (12:02):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
It's like Nonna used to make. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Oh, it is hot. Boiling water. Can you move over?
Move out of the way. Thank you. So I'm mashing.
I'm going to munch all this up. Once I've done that,
what you can do is get some of that flour
and put it all over the desk, please.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Over the desk?

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I know you don't like to do this. We've got
to make a floured surface so I can roll it
into a log.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I hate this.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Oh, it's hot too. Yeah, because it's hot. Okay, hurry up.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
I've got it on my fingers. Okay. Right here. Just
a liberal amount.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Oh, can you get my microphone out of the way? Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
That's as liberal as you get, eh?

Speaker 3 (12:43):
So we just, I don't even know what that means. Righto. Now,
we just are going to roll this into some big
kind of pasta log.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, like a dough.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Like a dough. And then I'm going to roll it
into some long stringy bits and chop them up so
they're like gnocchi.

Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
What do you think? It looks like of a knocky consistency.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
It's actually coming together quite well considering.

Speaker 8 (13:07):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
All right, well, we'll come back.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Well, you keep doing that.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I'll keep doing this.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
You keep kneading it. All right. And we'll come back
and see how it's all going. All right. On the
other side of this.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Jam.

Speaker 8 (13:16):
Jam nation.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
You hungry?

Speaker 3 (13:18):
I enjoy cooking bacon and stop working with flow. You're
making slack.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
What are you? We're going to make you go yuck.
When we last left Mama Nana, Mamanda, behind, in on her,
She's making the old time gnocchi.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
I'm making Weet-Bix gnocchi. And the whole time those songs
have been playing, you've been upsetting everyone on the team
because you've been using too much flour and interfering. This
is not for you, Brendan.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
I haven't interfered with anyone on the team.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
Okay, what's happening now? We've got seven Weet-Bix, we've got
boiled water, two eggs and a cup of flour. So
we now have our pasta, Weet-Bix pasta. We roll it out.
Into a long roll.

Speaker 8 (14:01):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
So we can slice it to make our gnocchi. Is
that a bit smaller? I don't want to roll it
because it's not the right, it's Weet-Bix.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Because it hasn't got enough flour on it?

Speaker 3 (14:09):
No, it's got so much flour.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
You're right. It's sticking a bit, is it?

Speaker 3 (14:13):
No, it's not actually. It's not sticking at all. And
it wouldn't have either. Okay, that's a nice long log.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
And here's another nice long log.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
It looks like a snake. It's a bit scaly because
we've got so much flour on it.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Are we happy with that, Brenda?

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, it looks good.

Speaker 8 (14:28):
Good.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
What I do now is I use this knife to
slice it into gnocchi bits. There's one.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Do you use the knife upside down like that?

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, I do. That's the point.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
Right.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Thank you for questioning.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Well, ironically, it's not because you're using the other side.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
I'm using the flat side.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
That's what you use. Is that what you use? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Mr. I know how to make gnocchi, he said, and
told everyone to rack off. Although Jacinda's an excellent cook
and cooks Italian all the time because she's Italian. Yeah.
All right, these are our gnocchi bits.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
It just looks a bit sloppy.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
It does a bit. Not because of the flour. It's
just because it's a frigging wheat pick!

Speaker 2 (14:59):
I don't know what the matter with you is.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Okay, so what happens now? We are going to put
this into some boiling water. We're going to heat up
some pasta sauce.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
We're not going to stand and watch water boil, are we?

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, it'd be more entertaining than this.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
And then we are going to bring it to the
boil in boiling water and then add some pasta sauce
and then you can frigging eat it.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I think it's already come to the boil in here. Okay,
so what we'll do.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
I just said what we're going to do.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
And we'll get digital genitive followers and people on Instagram Live.
Let's do it. We'll do it live. We'll put Instagram
Live and we'll come back.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
But if you want to watch us boil water, join
Instagram Live right now.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, please, jonesyandamanda.com.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
What's our thing? Jonesy and Amanda. Jonesy and Amanda. Yeah,
do that. Coming up.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Now with added flour.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Wheat Bix Gnocchi, like Nonna used to make.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Amanda podcast.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well, hello. Well, this is a new realm for us.
We combined our live radio show, Old School. with modern-day technology,
Instagram stories, because we didn't want you to sit there

(16:16):
and listen to us boil water.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
No, so we made you watch us do it instead
on Instagram Live.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
For people to do it.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
So here's the thing. We have rolled out our gnocchi.
This is Wheat Bix.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
This is for TikTok Tucker. TikTok Tucker. We've got eggs.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
We've got flour. And rolled it all together. It's now boiling.
And what normally happens with gnocchi, you put it in
the boiling water and it rises to the surface. Because
they're a different consistency to regular gnocchi, I'm not sure
how it's happening. It's boiling as we speak.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
I know that it went very smoothly here just before.
All right.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
These are our gnocchi bits.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
It just looks a bit sloppy.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
It does a bit. Not because of the flour.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
No.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
It's just because it's a frigging wheat bit.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
As I said.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
You couldn't stop interfering. You were doing your own bit
out there as well. And we've got some pasta sauce
we'll be adding to it.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yum.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
We will taste it next.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Jam Nation.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
We make food from TikTok and eat it today. What
are we eating?

Speaker 3 (17:19):
It's Weet-Bix gnocchi. This is the moment of truth or
the moment of the truth, as Miguel would say. Seven Weet-Bix,
boiled water, two eggs, a cup of flour has made
these gnocchi, which have held their shape in the boiling water.
They look a little bit like brains, but they've held
their shape. So I'm going to put a few of
those in the bottom. Don't panic, Ryan. Look at Ryan's

(17:40):
little face.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
You'll be all right, mate. Yeah, they do. It looks
like meatballs. The IKEA meatballs sans the sauce.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Or sans the proper colour.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Right.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Okay, so I've got three little gnocchis in there. We're
to market.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Because largely gnocchi is always, well, it's usually made with potato.

Speaker 8 (17:57):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
So here we are using Weet-Bix instead of potato.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Let me take that lid off there.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
So financially, is it much of a saving?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
I don't know if you'd do this for the finance.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Now, what tomato sauce have we got here? We've got
the Legos. Legos. We're not using Mutti.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm going to put this on top.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Because I love Mutti.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
So put that there.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
That's a lot of sauce.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, well, to disguise the flavor of the Wheat Bix.
And now I'm just going to put some Parmesan.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Cheese on top. Okay, you've got good, yeah.

Speaker 9 (18:28):
Ready?

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
Watch out. It's going to be a bit of a mess.
Here comes some Parmesan. Nice. Is that enough? There you go.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
No, it smells good.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Now I'm going to, Ryan, this one's yours. I don't
think you need a spoon. I think just a fork
should do it. In you go. And you have to
try everything.

Speaker 9 (18:45):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
And Brendan, here you go. Try everything.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Thanks, Nonna Giuseppe.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Nonna Giuseppe, what a confused family. All right, mix it up.
Take a bit of the Wheat Bick. Oh, it's like
a rubber ball. Can you break into it?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
If I had a blindfold on, I'd feel it's knocky.
Let's go in. Okay. Okay. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (19:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
That is really good.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
It actually works. What do you think, Ryan?

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
If they were smaller, they're too big for gnocchi. It
was hard to roll them smaller in the time we had.
If they were smaller, I think they'd be perfect gnocchi.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I think it's perfect gnocchi.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
That surprisingly tastes very nice.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
I think that's amazing. Maybe a bit of pepper, maybe
a bit of salt.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Yeah, but I think the concept works weirdly.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Maybe a little bit more flour on the gnocchi.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Okay. The concept works.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
I say two thumbs up.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, I do too.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Just like Nonna used to make.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Making slap, gonna make you go yuck.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Listen to the podcast whenever you want with the free
iHeart app. Gold, hello there.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home, that Weet-Bix gnocchi. Crikey.
I thought it was the greatest thing in the world.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Weet-Bix can be heavy anyway and add eggs and flour
and pasta sauce. It's sitting right.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
And at this time of day, I'm just a little
bit hungry, so you'll eat anything, tile, cement.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
You kept going.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
And I did. I had another bowl of it. Now
I just feel like, ooh.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
I don't know how Iron Men do it. Well, look,
let's get on to something that's less palatable even than that,
shall we?

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I apologize for what you're about to hear, but this
is a hilarious story. Holly Willoughby is a British TV presenter.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Much loved.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
She was recently on a morning talk show. Well, actually,
I don't know if it was the morning. Luckily, we're
in the afternoon, so this is.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I think she'll be okay with that.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
I don't know if we're okay with it. Wait till
you hear the story. So she's talking about a date...
that a friend of hers had, and it went a
little like this.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I had a friend, she was dating this guy, I
think it was like the fourth date, so for whatever reason,
I don't know why, but they decided that they were
gonna go back, I think it was to his house,
and they ended up having a bath together, so it's
like nice. He'd run a bath, put the candles around
the bath, so she was like, oh, this is nice,
this is kind of cute. So they're in the bath,
having a drink, all really sexy, nice, lovely, and then

(21:03):
he gets out, has a.

Speaker 10 (21:10):
And then gets back in the bath.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
That actually... I know, that actually happened. Like, that actually happened. Sorry,
in what world? I know, I know.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Did he flag it?

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Was he like, I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
No, she said she just sat there and she kept thinking,
if he gets back in, this is over.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Because if he gets back in.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
No, no, no, sorry, it's not over if he gets
back in.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
It's over anyway.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
So I'm presuming from that... Toilet next to bath. Toilet's
next to the bath. She's sitting in the bath and
all this takes place.

Speaker 8 (21:41):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
That's odd.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
One of the comments below it said, taking a smoking
gun in the bath is crazy work.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
That is.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
But other people have added stories of their own about,
kind of, I knew it was over when. I mean, yeah,
as she said, if he gets back in the bath,
it's over. Oh, really? I think a couple of steps
back then from that, you red flags.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
You must be so comfortable to do that. Yeah, but deluded.
Or just unaware.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Who could be that unaware? Who?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
He's a guy. Guys can be pretty unaware. You wouldn't
do that. No, that's what I meant. I wouldn't do
that in a million years. No way.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
You'd do it in the bath.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
No, no. There's no way I'd do that.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
No, no, of course not.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
There's no way.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Some of the other stories are funny. This person says,
I had a 38-year-old guy stay at my house, and
next morning he asked if I had any Dymadon. I
had no idea what it was, but he's very smart,
and I didn't want to look like an idiot, so
I said, sorry. He asked me to walk two minutes
to the chemist's warehouse and get him some. I couldn't
find it, so I had to ask someone. She led
me to the children's section, and apparently this is liquid
paracetamol for children because he couldn't swallow, quote, big tablets.

(22:49):
So instead of spending $ 2 on Panamax, I spent $ 14
on children's medicine for a 38-year-old man who was at
home lying in my bed. Oh, little boy. And she said,
all because I didn't want him to think I was stupid. Meanwhile,
he's drinking children's Panadol.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Another one. I love this. Stayed the night with a
guy after a date. The next morning, he said he
dropped me home. He walked out to his car, tinted
windows I couldn't see inside. I opened the passenger door
and approximately 17,000 Red Bull cans fell out onto the ground.
I asked why he had that many Red Bull cans
in his car and he said, I haven't cleaned it
out this year. Wow. Then he asked me to pick

(23:24):
them up.

Speaker 7 (23:25):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
So, you know, there are a number of... These stories
are kind of all about I knew it was over when.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
I can get the tribal drama beat for this. Let's
do it. For sure.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
But it's over now.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Damn right it is.

Speaker 8 (23:38):
He.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Her. We'll take calls from everyone. I knew it was over. When?

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Jam Nation. Holly Willoughby is an English TV presenter and
she tells the story of a friend on a romantic
fourth date with a man, she and he are in
the bath at his place.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Having a sip of champagne.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Candles, flowers, all that stuff. Midway through the bath, he
gets out, goes number two on the toilet next to
the bath, finishes that, then gets back in the bath.
You know, he must have taken the form guide with him.
This lady knew it was over then and then when

(24:14):
he got back in.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
No, that's what she said, if he gets back in.
If he gets back in, it ended a number of
steps before that.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
I find that incredibly odd.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Some of the other stories we've been hearing about a
guy who had about 17,000 red bull cans in his car.
He said, I haven't cleaned it this year. And they
all fell out into the street and he asked her
to clean them up. Certain points where you go, you
know what?

Speaker 2 (24:37):
It's hard.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
It's over for me right here. I knew it was
over when.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
But it's over now. Tribal drama's beating for this. Patrick
has joined us. Hello, Patrick.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
How you going, guys?

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Good.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
When did you know it was over?

Speaker 5 (24:49):
Well, it was about the third day. We'd done a
road trip from Melbourne down to Geelong. Nice day out.
And on the long drive back to Melbourne, just as
we left Geelong, She, for no reason, explained that she's
an anti-vaxxer, Trump supporter, and a flat earther.

Speaker 8 (25:10):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Oh, wow, the trifecta.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Jeepers.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
And then when we got back to Melbourne, she had
left her car keys in Geelong.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Did you have to drive back with her again?

Speaker 5 (25:22):
No, I let her sleep on the couch, and her
friend brought them back the next day.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh, but still.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
Very, very, very long night.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
And, you know, Geelong to Melbourne's not a big drive.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
It's a long, straight road with nowhere to pull over.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
And the thing is, it's all right to have political differences,
but if they are philosophical differences about vaccine, you know,
being an anti-vaxxer and flat-earther, that's a big one.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
And people can have their opinions, but, you know, you
had the trifecta there, really.

Speaker 8 (25:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Thank you, Patrick. That's a lot to wash past you.
Thank you, Pat. Mark has joined us.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Hello, Mark. Tell us when you knew that it was
all over.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Yes, good day, Jonesy and Amanda. Look, years ago, I
took out a girl on a date, and at the
end of the date, we went to one of these
ice creameries. You know, they sell ice cream and sundaes
and bananas and all those things. And I said to her,
what would you like? You know, do you want something?
She said, no, no, she doesn't want anything. So I
ordered myself this big sundae with fruit and ice cream
and everything. And when it came, it came with this

(26:19):
big nut on the top, like a big, like a
pecan nut or something.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
And as I was about to take a bite, she said, oh,
can I have some? Can I have some? And she
took my spoon and she ate that one bloody nut
that I wanted on top. That was the only nut
that she ate. And that was the end of the day.
That was the last time I took her out ever again.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
So she ate the nut off your sundae.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
And you thought that that tells you a lot about
a person.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
Well, look, you know, if I ask if you want
something and you say no, but then to take mine
and eat it, that just did it for me, you know?

Speaker 3 (26:51):
And men hate that. They say, I won't have a dessert,
but I'll have some of yours.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
That's why they have the my girlfriend is not hungry
option on a menu. Yeah. Because you get your chips
or your burger or whatever.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
But even I wouldn't take the one big nut.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Maybe she was testing humor.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Well, I think Mark's happy it didn't go any further.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, maybe that's good that that was left behind.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
These are great. Please keep them coming. I knew it
was over when.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Jam Nation. So you're in a romantic bath together. You
got the candles. You got the flowers.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
For starters, I'm not into sharing baths. Are you?

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Depends who it's with.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Well, you know, depends like, you know.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
If it's with Mr. T, you're saying you wouldn't be keen.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I pity the fool that doesn't share the bath with me.
I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
His jewellery would tarnish.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
This is not about me. This is about Holly Willoughby,
who is an English presenter. She told a.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Story where she had a friend who was on a date,
fourth date. They'd had a few drinks, were in the bath.
It was lovely and romantic, having a champagne. He jumps
out of the bath. There's a loo next to the bath.
He uses it to do a number two. And then
proceeds to get back in the bath.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
On every level, that's horrific.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
So many.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Because you're sitting in the bath. Well, I know.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
We don't need to explore. It is horrendous.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
How unaware is this dude?

Speaker 9 (28:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Well, that's why she said that this is the thing.
I knew it was over when dot, dot, dot.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Drum, drum.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
It's over now.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's beating for this. Gary has joined us.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Hi, Gary. When did you know it was over?

Speaker 6 (28:17):
Hi, how are you going?

Speaker 8 (28:19):
I knew it was over when we went to brunch
and then we went on like a walk just around
the sort of Bondi area and then she proceeded to
stop me at the local rubbish pile that people had
put up for council clean-up and she wanted to help
me carry her stuff or stuff back to her place.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
And to this day, some friends of mine, we still
call her the bin chicken.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
The bin chicken. So she.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
found some stuff in a council clean-up and wanted on
this sort of date to collect it, just to fossick
and find things.

Speaker 8 (28:54):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Gary, what sort of stuff?

Speaker 8 (28:59):
Oh, there was a bed head and there was a
box of, I guess, photo paper and a couple of
other bits and pieces.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Look at Jonesy's face. He thinks he would do that.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I'm just thinking.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
That girl. I think you've been too hasty.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Oh, that's exactly something you would do.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
In my world, that's a keeper.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Thank you, Gary. I'm on your side.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Vicky has joined us.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Hello, Vicky. Oh, hi. Hello. How did you know it
was over?

Speaker 7 (29:24):
Oh, well, met him, well, spoke to him on Bumble, chatting,
everything was good.

Speaker 8 (29:32):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (29:32):
So he was like, well, I'll come out to see
you and we'll go for dinner. I was like, okay,
that'll be great. So we'll go to a little Italian restaurant.
about 20 minutes half an hour in I hate sharing
food but he said oh we'll share a pizza we'll
share a couple of starters da da da and I'm
thinking already I'm getting the ick and then he says

(29:54):
I've got something to tell you I went oh I
was wondering what that was And he proceeded to tell
me that all the way through his marriage, he slept
with prostitutes.

Speaker 8 (30:04):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
On the first date, he told you this?

Speaker 7 (30:08):
On the first date, yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
And what do you say to that? What do you say?

Speaker 7 (30:14):
Well, I just sat there going, oh, wow, oh, right, okay. Okay.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
He liked to share the pizza and the women.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
And the information.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Keep your pie holes shut. Vicki, it's weird that you
don't share pizza.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Is that what you've taken from this story?

Speaker 2 (30:32):
It's a pretty shareable food.

Speaker 7 (30:34):
No, I know, but I don't like sharing.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah, I know, but a pizza.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Brendan, you're missing the point of the story.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
I hear what you're saying. Any other dish but a pizza, Vicki.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
You can't eat the whole thing. Brendan, you would overlook
the prostitute bit and just be shocked that the pizza
wasn't shareable. And you also would fostick around someone's council
clean-up on a date to find some stuff.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Unfortunately, Vicki, I'm married.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Unfortunately.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Thank you for sharing all your stories.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
But pizza, you know when you get a pizza.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
I know how a pizza works. It may surprise you
to hear.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Do you know apropos of pizza? Great news. You remember
the New York Philly?

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Sorry, I've still got a cramp from that Weet-Bix.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
I know. This is TikTok talk from before. Do you
want to Instagram live stories this during? No, no. The
Domino's had that New York Philadelphia pizza. It's back. The
New York slice, you know, the big pizza?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
They've brought it back.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
Yeah, you can share that, Brendan.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well, I'm just saying to Vicky, you couldn't eat one
of those by yourself, no matter how much of a
big guts you were. Thank you for all your calls.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Not saying you were a guts, Vicky.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Amanda podcast. We had
so many requests for them to do it again.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Amanda, she just cracks me up.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Maybe you shouldn't lay off the moonshine.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
Jonesy's always knocking Amanda.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
It's so weak.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
Amanda's always knocking Jonesy.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
I'm done. How's the Weet-Bix knocky setting?

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Oh, I tell you what.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Not good? You keep making little faces.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
I've got terrible stomach cramps.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 3 (32:02):
Actually, during that entire news break, you were saying... You
were talking about pizza and why it has to be shared.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
But it doesn't be shared. It's just, it's not really
a meal unless it's a little mini pizza. But I
find largely.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
But you missed the point of the story, which was.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
From Vicky.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
Vicky says she doesn't like to share pizza. She appreciates
that's a quirk.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
The point of the story was she was having dinner
for a date, first date with a man who said
he slept with prostitutes throughout his marriage. That was the
point of her story. Not that she didn't like to
share pizza.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Sure, sure, sure.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
And then you also were going on about how. Even
on a first date, you would stop at a junk
pile and pick up a bedhead.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
No, we were just talking about he got the ick
when she stopped at a hard rubbish pile and said,
I wouldn't mind that bedhead. Can you give me a hand?
Bring it at home. It wasn't a mattress. It was
a bedhead. So I'd be okay with it?

Speaker 3 (32:52):
No, on a date, I know. First date, I get
a couple of dates in. Hey, can you help me
take this home?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Would you on the first date have done what you
have done previously and taken the rotisserie chicken from the
shopping trolley that was left behind? Would you have done
that on a date? Would you have said, hey, this
is dinner covered. How economical?

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Short story long, roast chicken sitting on a trolley. I
take my trolley back because I'm that sort of person.
There's the chicken. It's time stamped at 11.20. That's when
it was in the oven. This is 11.40. Some poor
soul's gone back to their car. And they've left the
car park.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
How do you know they left?

Speaker 2 (33:30):
That food is going to go to waste because I know.
I looked around. I said, chicken here. It's a chicken.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Has anyone left a chicken?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
There's a chicken here. I actually went up to people, strangers,
like Mel Gibson in Ransom.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
You've never said that before.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Is this your chicken? I did.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
I did. You're making this up.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I said to a lady, is this your chicken?

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Let me ask, would you do this on a first date?

Speaker 2 (33:48):
You know, that's a tough one. You don't have to.
What I would do. Wow. What I would do, okay,
let's role play this.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
You'd say, look over there.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
No, let's role play this. We'd be walking back.

Speaker 8 (33:59):
No.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Well, she'd be impressed because I'm taking my trolley back
because I'm that sort of guy.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
But you've taken it to the grocery store for a date.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
So what I could do is I just could bring
the chicken back with me and I'd just say, oh,
I forgot my chicken.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
And I'd say, well, how come I can smell rotisserie chicken?

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Well, I'm on a date with you.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
There are too many questions to cover right now.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
There's too many questions.

Speaker 8 (34:17):
Jam.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Jam Nation. Let's go. Emma Gillespie.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Our steaming hot download from Emma Gillespie.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Oh, wow. I think she'd prefer to be known as
the features editor of the Daily Oz.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Of the Daily Oz, of course. But I'm just trying to,
you know, in radio we've got to have a good tagline.
A bit of sizzle.

Speaker 10 (34:40):
The steaming hot features editor of the Daily Oz.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
There it is.

Speaker 10 (34:43):
Straight on my LinkedIn.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Because these days it's all about sell the sizzle, not
the steak. I don't know if you guys have noticed,
but it's looking pretty vegan around here lately.

Speaker 9 (34:51):
Well, I've got some sizzle for you. This element is
sizzling away with some draft legislation, but we're going to
make it sound as sexy as possible.

Speaker 10 (35:00):
Social media algorithms.

Speaker 9 (35:02):
They have been dominating conversation over the past several years,
obviously culminating in that social media ban for under 16s
that was rolled out in December last year, the first
of its kind in the world. Since then, much has
been said about algorithms and more ways to kind of
crank up this duty of care for social media platforms. Now,

(35:22):
there was this big announcement yesterday, which comes after lengthy
questioning of, you know, if you had the choice, would
you go back to the way social media was 10
years ago?

Speaker 10 (35:32):
Back when we just.

Speaker 9 (35:33):
Saw chronological posts from our friends and family and people
we chose to follow online, We saw them in the order.

Speaker 10 (35:40):
That they were uploaded.

Speaker 9 (35:41):
And if the government gets its way, that very well
could soon be an option again. So yesterday it announced
these new draft laws under a digital duty of care
that would give social media users the ability to opt
out of the algorithm altogether. This follows a huge campaign
effort from Chanel Contos, the founder of Teach Us Consent,

(36:04):
the youth-led consent charity. They launched this Fix Our Feeds
campaign with this ask of, you know, algorithms need to
be safer, particularly for young people, but for people everywhere.
So that culminated in this announcement, the headline change being
that platforms will have to send new and existing users
a notification that will give you a choice over what

(36:27):
your algorithm looks like as a default feed. So you
can opt in to a personalised algorithm and That's like
what you've got now, a recommended feed based on, you know,
some very mysterious calculations going on in Silicon Valley. Or
you can opt out and you will just see content
from the people you follow in the order that it

(36:48):
is posted.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
That's amazing. Would this be world-leading?

Speaker 9 (36:52):
It would be world-leading in terms of the strength of
this reform and the legislation. Something similar was rolled out
in the EU, but it only holds platforms with a
certain size of subscribers to account, whereas this goes beyond
just the big platforms of Netta, Snapchat, TikTok. The duty

(37:13):
of care would also cover online games, big one for
young people, kids especially. It would cover AI chatbots and
apps as well. So platforms would have this responsibility. The
onus would be on them to protect under-18-year-olds from addictive
design features, and the algorithm plays into that.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
That is massive. You look at in the old days
when they stopped cigarette advertising and alcohol advertising, on TV, free-to-air,
they have them at certain times of the day. So,
you know.

Speaker 9 (37:45):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
So this is just the same as that.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Yeah, we can control it.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
You can control it.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
We can control it.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
So they've got to do something because.

Speaker 9 (37:52):
Yeah, and it's about privacy laws kind of catching up
with these innovations.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
But the young people, young men that are getting all
the Manusphere stuff that's coming through.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Yeah, not by choice.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Not by choice, but it comes on and they're more likely.
I was reading this stat that these guys that follow
that Manusphere stuff are 17 times more likely to hit
their female partner.

Speaker 10 (38:13):
That's dreadful.

Speaker 9 (38:15):
So Chanel Contos touched on this during her Press Club address.
She said that young men are served misogynistic content on
average within 23 minutes of scrolling TikTok, not even seeking
it out.

Speaker 10 (38:25):
We put this to the test.

Speaker 9 (38:26):
One of our journos at the Daily Oz, Elliot, who's awesome,
we got him to open a new TikTok account. He
knew nothing about him other than that he's a young
guy living in Sydney.

Speaker 10 (38:35):
And he timed how long of just scrolling, not searching,
just pure scrolling.

Speaker 9 (38:40):
It took 17 minutes and he started to be served
manosphere misogynistic content. And then he said from that point,
it got worse and worse and spiraled very quickly.

Speaker 10 (38:49):
So it's very real.

Speaker 9 (38:50):
These concerns are real. They're playing out in real time
and they're affecting young people. So as for these draft laws,
they'll go to a period of consultation. It looks like
the Greens are going to back them, which will be
important in the Senate. Labor needs the support from the
Greens or minor parties to pass the legislation. But we're
expecting to hear a little bit more on these reforms later.

Speaker 10 (39:10):
In the year.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
What a relief that something is being done here. What
a relief.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
You imagine if you brought out the car, like the
motorcycle I'm riding today, the Suzuki Hayabusa, capable of doing
320 kilometres per hour from the get-go, out of the box.
Then you go back to the old days when the
first motorbike came out. It was like about 12 horsepower.
and you get a top speed of about 40 kilometres
per hour. Imagine having the Hayabusa back then in 1910.

(39:37):
You wouldn't have had it. So that's where we're at
with the internet.

Speaker 9 (39:40):
And importantly, big fines, $ 109 million fines for non-compliance for
the social platforms for this one.

Speaker 10 (39:46):
So there's a lot at stake.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Wow. That's glove box change for us.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yeah, it is, but they need this momentum of publicity
of people power saying no more.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
We can't take our foot off the accelerator or actually
foot off the brake anyway.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
Any of those things.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
All of the above. Em, thank you for our steaming download.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
Okay, your download is complete.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
See a whole lot more of Jonesy and Amanda on
our socials.

Speaker 2 (40:14):

Speaker 2 (40:17):
I watched Untold Ray Gunn Breaking Badly. This is the
new Netflix documentary about Rachel Gunn.

Speaker 9 (40:25):
I was like struck by the beauty of her performance.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
At one point she does this like beautiful spin and
she grabs a cap and I was like, oh, that
was really nice.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
I was like, if you just, as you come in,
if you just put the other hand out, that's the sprinkler.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
It was the essence of creativity. Spring Club, the kangaroo,
the swimming, it was all about representing Australia, celebrating Australia.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
On the world stage. It was the best performance I've
seen her do. Like, I did it. I'm glad I
got to witness that.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
That's Rachel Raygun and her husband Samuel Free, a.k.a. Sammy Sex.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I know a lot of people have said, I hope
I find someone who loves me as delusionally as her
husband loves her. I haven't seen the doco.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
And you and I, let's just state our claim early
on before I want to, I really want to hear
what you thought of the doco. I don't know why
we didn't embrace her. I don't know why we didn't
see the humour in it and the underdog, the hilarity
of it, the kitsch of it. I don't understand why
Australia turned on her.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
And I remember the time when breakdancing was announced at
the Olympics. You and I both went, breakdancing? Come on.
But the Olympics really is a sport that has been
around for hundreds of years, and it's about showcasing different sports.
It's the best that your country can bring. And in
the case of Rae Grun, she represented us at the

(41:53):
Olympics in Paris for breakdancing.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
She scored zero.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
She did.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
So it's not like she cheated the system. She scored zero.

Speaker 8 (42:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
So have other people at the Olympics, and we think,
isn't that hilarious?

Speaker 2 (42:04):
But she went global after she performed, because everyone has
said exactly what you and I said. But having said that,
you watch this documentary, and what I did learn is
that she entered the competition to get selection with an
almost charming naivety. So she is a B-girl. That's what
the breakdancing community call breakdancers. B-girls and B-boys. And in

(42:29):
this country, we've got some B-boys. We don't have a
lot of B-girls. So they had a big thing, like
an audition, a competition to get the best B-boy and B-girl.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
She didn't select herself.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
No, to represent us at the Olympics. So they had
a thing. She went along. And as one of her
people said, of all the competitors on the spot, she
was the best. On the day.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
So what's our problem?

Speaker 2 (42:53):
I don't know. I don't know. And you look at
in the, you know, Eric the eel, Eddie the eagle,
the Jamaican bobsled team, all of those guys were the
best of their country.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
And we love them.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
And they didn't hack the system.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
But we love them for being the outliers.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
And a lot of people, there's a bit of this
conspiracy theory that Sammy hacked the system. Her husband. He
rigged it, but he didn't. They had an international judging
panel that came to Sydney yesterday And judged it. And
there was one girl on there and said, they said, well,
did you go to go on it? Because she's a
better breaker. And she said, no, I didn't want to

(43:29):
go on it. So, you know, it's like me saying,
I want to go to, I don't know, what am
I really good at? Not much. Like I was on
Dancing with the Stars and I was dreadful and people
kept voting for me.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
This is the difference, isn't it? This is why I
think it's interesting. And you'd said before we were talking
about it that you thought it was misogynistic, the way
she was judged. Because all those failures and you, On
Dancing With The Stars. You weren't a failure.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
I was a failure.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
People find humour in men being klutzes and stuffing stuff
up and being the underdog. People feel humiliation when it
happens to women. I've always said that. It's harder to
be a woman dancing on Dancing With The Stars than
it is to be a man because people can laugh
at the man, but you can't laugh at a woman
being bad. They just feel sorry for you and it's
humiliating and makes people uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
Because when I was on that show, that was 2013,
social media wasn't what it is now. It was a
different kettle of fish back then.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
People have said that, and as I said, I haven't
seen it, that it looks like it's, Kath and Kim,
it looks like a piss take, this documentary. It's like
it's a mockumentary. Is it a serious documentary? Yeah, it is.
And they're taking themselves seriously?

Speaker 2 (44:34):
As I said, there's this nice naivety to them both.
I don't think they're deluded, but maybe naivety is a
little bit of delusion, but they're just nice people. I
don't think they're, They've done nothing wrong.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Because people are still, people who didn't like her first
time around after the Olympics have doubled down. Yeah. I
think people wanted Ray Gunn to say, oh, sorry, everyone.
I had no idea. I was in over my head.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
But she says that in the documentary.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
Does she?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
I think she kind of does.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Because people felt that she'd sort of doubled down and said, well,
I had fun and it wasn't great, that the people
didn't get the apology from her that they wanted.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
I think it's worth, if you've got any opinion about her,
perhaps watch the documentary because I guarantee by the end
of it you'll like them both. And Richard Branson, he
of the airlines and the ships and all that stuff,
he actually reached out to Ray Gunn when she was
getting all the abuse and said, look, I'm going to
put you on one of my ships and you're going
to come with me and we're going to look after

(45:28):
you because he could see the, I guess, the novelty
in it.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
But why couldn't we?

Speaker 2 (45:33):
I don't know. I didn't.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
It's classic Australian behaviour.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
An underdog doing sort of kitsch moves that the whole–
Closing an opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics was all
that stuff, the sprinkler, the funny dancing, the kangaroo hops.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
But if you put a guy out there doing that,
it would have been a different.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
Kind of fish. Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
He would have become a hero.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Interesting. All right, well, I'll watch it, but I'm intrigued
by what you think.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
I'll get out my piece of lino and start breaking. Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
Breaking bad.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
Breaking wind. What about this? Ten questions, 60 seconds on
the clock. You could pass if you don't know an answer.
We'll come back to the question if time permits. The
other question's right. You win $ 1, 000.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
You can make it $ 2, 000 by answering a bonus question,
but it's double or nothing.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Jacqueline is in Canley Heights.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Hello, Jacqueline. How are you? Oh, my God.

Speaker 8 (46:26):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 9 (47:44):
Pass.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Back to question two, curry puffs belong to which cuisine?

Speaker 7 (47:53):
Thai?

Speaker 3 (47:55):
No, they're Indian.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Actually, you can get Thai curry puffs.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
But they're culturally really Indian.

Speaker 7 (48:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
What does the NFL stand for? It's National Football League.
If you got a five-cent coin, what animal would you
see on it?

Speaker 6 (48:09):
It's that little spiky one.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Yeah, an echidna.

Speaker 7 (48:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
This is like doing homework.

Speaker 3 (48:15):
It's Charlie Sheen. Charlie Sheen plays Charlie Harper in Two
and a Half Men.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
And Tasmania is the smallest state by size.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
Jaqueline.

Speaker 7 (48:26):
I was trying to see which one was in other state.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Oh, Jaqueline, thank you for playing.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
You gave it a red hot go.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
You did, Jacqueline, and thank you.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Oh, thank you.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Carry on. Like Jacqueline, you can play Instagram, josiedamanda.com.au. Damnation.
You know that Blanche Dupuget has passed away at the
age of 82. Longtime lover and biographer of Bob Hawke.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
And wife.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
I often wonder, you know, a wife, but what happens
because Hazel, Bob's former wife, is in heaven. Bob's in heaven.
And then Blanche goes there. What happens there in the afterlife?

Speaker 3 (49:01):
As if this hasn't been sorted out before.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Has it been sorted out? I just think about it.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
They're not the only divorced and remarried couple that will
be up in the afterlife together.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
But I often think about that. You know, when you
hear someone say, I can't wait to be with my partner.

Speaker 3 (49:13):
Henry VIII, and they all turn up with no heads on.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Unless they're quiet, he'd say.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
You wonder why I've gathered you all here today. I'm
going to take you back to 1968. The year I
was born? Well, were you born in 68?

Speaker 2 (49:29):
No, it's the 3rd of April, 1968, in case you're
wondering when my birthday is.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
And yet I know that you know this TV show.
It premiered in 1968. The song, Lives on forever. Here
it is. Banana splits.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
Yep. It ran for some time. Yeah, it did. Or
did they just make it in one year and just
keep repeating it forever?

Speaker 3 (49:52):
Let's just get to this bit.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
I like this bit. And they were driving it in
those little amphibians. But they were amphibious.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
Why don't you just talk through the whole thing?

Speaker 2 (50:06):
I'm not ruining the plot.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
Get to this bit. Et cetera.

Speaker 8 (50:11):
All right.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Don't rub your face.

Speaker 5 (50:13):
No, no.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
The series ran for 31 episodes on Saturday mornings.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Did you know I almost bought one of those amphibious vehicles?
The little dune buggies that they had, the six-wheeler, was
on eBay. How much? It was a bit much. It
was $ 5, 000.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
That's not much for an amphibious.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
What are you, made of money?

Speaker 3 (50:28):
For an amphibious vehicle.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Yeah, but it didn't work. The auction started at $ 1, 000.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
If it didn't work, obviously, we don't see them on
the water ever.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Yeah, you do. I've seen one on the water when
I was a kid. I thought it was the greatest
thing I'd ever seen in my life.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
Anyway, this show was on in syndication, as they say,
which means repeats for years and years and years and
years and years. I was intrigued because I just looked
it up because the Banana Splits were a band, big
men wearing furry costumes, men or women, who knows. There
was a feature-length comedy horror film adaptation in 2019. It
was rated R. And the trailer, I just had a

(51:05):
look at it. It's quite disturbing. Have a listen.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
We are going to the Banana Splits.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Sometimes at night, I see the splits riding around in
the little cars, laughing and singing. Rebecca, I'm cancelling the show.

Speaker 8 (51:24):
Hi, kids.

Speaker 6 (51:25):
Put on your happiest faces because the Banana Splits.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
Show is about to begin.

Speaker 3 (51:32):
Let me out! Now the show can go on forever
and ever and ever.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Come on, you fussy son of a.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Wow, who would think of doing that to the bananas?

Speaker 2 (51:48):
We're going to have so much fun.

Speaker 9 (51:51):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
That's horror.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
That's horror. Watch out, HR Puff and stuff, they're coming
for you too.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Was Sigmund the sea monster? Actually, he was a sea monster.
He was supposed to be scary, but pretty lame, really.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
Okay, Brendan.

Speaker 6 (52:04):
Nerd.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
Righto, UT.

Speaker 9 (52:06):
That's enough.
