Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Everybody online.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Jonesy and Amanda Show. Gorgeous Amanda.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Mistress Amanda is delivering discipline.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
It hurts, but someone's got to do it.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Bad Amanda, bad, bad Amanda.

Speaker 5 (00:20):
Am I going to see Jonesy?

Speaker 4 (00:21):
And the virile Jonesy.

Speaker 6 (00:23):
What a creep.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
I've heard them describe him as a drunken idiot.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Stay in school and learn at school.

Speaker 7 (00:28):
Yeah, okay. Out of the way, Dobie.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
Jonesy and Amanda, those are names that you will never forget.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
It's showtime.

Speaker 7 (00:35):
Good afternoon to you, Amanda, my little denim-shirted friend.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Hello, Mr Paisley.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Mr Paisley. And we have Brian in today, Ryan with
a B, because Gem Y Rye is over in Edinburgh.

Speaker 7 (00:46):
Not Edinburgh, South Australia. Edinburgh, Scotland.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
He has had a show at the Adelaide Fringe. He's
had a show performing in a theatre in Sydney, and
he wants to check out the Edinburgh Fringe. So he
went for the weekend, pretty much.

Speaker 8 (01:02):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
And when you build in time differences and whatever, I
think he's back Tuesday or Wednesday, but I'm envious of
how to live like that. Just think, you know what,
I'm going to go for four days.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
I went to Dublin Island to interview you too and
I left on the Friday and I was back to
work on the Monday. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:17):
So I don't know what's his problem.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh, well, he wants to see more. You were paid
to do one day's work. He's over there to see
a whole lot of shows. At my age when I travel,
it takes me that long to get over the back
pain of sitting on a plane.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
And yes, I am lying down.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
When you're lying flat up the front next to the pilot.
Tahiti looks nice. Flat next to the pilot.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I'm not that drunk.

Speaker 7 (01:40):
Ryan with a B is here.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Hello, Brian.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Hello, Brian.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 9 (01:43):
Did Ryan pack his pantaloons?

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, I don't know. He does have a suit of
armour in his show, but he said that with all
the excess luggage, et cetera, he wasn't going to take it.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
And if he starts eating some haggis, he'll be putting
something in those pantaloons.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
When you say, did he pack his pantaloons, it sounds
like he's had an incident already.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Have you seen his show? A lot of people are
packing their pantaloons. We can slag him off because he's
not here.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
Because he can't hear it, that's right.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Don't worry, the Gem Y. Rye army, i.e.

Speaker 7 (02:13):
His mum and dad, he will be back in our
bosom on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think so.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
So that means we've got Bri for today and tomorrow,
which is great.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Which is great.

Speaker 7 (02:22):
You know who else we've got on the show today?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Tell me.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Leigh Sales.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
We do.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
We've got our mate Leigh Sales.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Leggy Sales we call her.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, tell you what, I saw her at the Logies
and she said, I hope my dress isn't too short.
And I said, I'll let you know. And luckily it
wasn't because I saw her get up on stage to
receive all the awards, whatever. And I couldn't see her undies.
She'd left them behind at the table.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Lee will be joining us.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Also, Instagram makes its return. And we can't do anything
until we do the Fast Five. Would you like to play?

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Give us a call, 135522.

Speaker 1 (02:50):

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Hello there.

Speaker 7 (02:54):
It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this Monday afternoon.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
How fast can this thing go?

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Fast to the speed of light. Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Fast Five.

Speaker 7 (03:04):
Last day of August as well, the 31st. It is too.

Speaker 10 (03:06):
Hasn't this year gone quick?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
And it's tomorrow's spring. I think it is. This is
last day of winter.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Is it? No, I think next week. No, this is
next week.

Speaker 7 (03:17):
We're in next week.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
We're in this week.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I think last week I said no.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
It goes by the date.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Like the 1st of September is when we get the new.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
Season, Brendan.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
Do I look like a meteorologist?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Five questions. Can you go all the way and answer
all questions correctly? If you do that, Amanda will say.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I'll try not to laugh and I'll say you will get. Meteorologist.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
You'll get a $ 250 Bunnings gift card.

Speaker 11 (03:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Troy's in Avalon.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Hello, Troy.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Hey, guys.

Speaker 12 (03:46):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Very well, thank you. Here's question one. William S. Harley
and the Davidson brothers founded which company in 1903? Harley Davidson? Yeah,
I'm looking at a picture of them all. They just
look like very serious men, don't they?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Well, they started off making bicycles and then they made motorcycles.
They don't look like rev heads. What's your favourite Harley Davidson, Troy? Actually,
I'll make it easy.

Speaker 7 (04:08):
What's your favourite? What's your favourite Harley engine?

Speaker 4 (04:14):
I'm not a bike rider.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
No, no. That's right, Troy. Fight back. Fight back against
a big bike that I'm sitting opposite here.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
What's your favourite Harley?

Speaker 7 (04:25):
My favourite Harley engine? The Panhead.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I'm a big fan of the Panhead engine. It's a
really good engine. Their latest one, it's great as well,
the Milwaukee 8.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
And wake.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
But I did like the Evo. The Evo was great.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Question number two, Troy. Let's play the Not So Secret sound.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
What is this sound?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Oh, goodness.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Bagpipes. It's bagpipes.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
Question number three.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
I'm also just a girl standing in front of a
boy asking him to love her. That's from a famous movie.
Which movie was it from, Troy?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Love Actually.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
No, it wasn't Love Actually. Sorry, Troy.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Pat is in Eves, Perth.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Hi, Pat.

Speaker 10 (05:19):
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Pay attention, Pat. I'm also just a girl standing in
front of a boy asking him to love her is
from which movie?

Speaker 10 (05:29):
Can you repeat the question again?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I'm also just a girl standing in front of a
boy asking him to love her is from which movie? Sorry, Pat.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Brian is right on the buzzer. Pat, come again any time.
Why don't we have some Googling time? I'm also just
a girl standing in front of a boy asking him
to love her.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Famous line from a famous film.

Speaker 7 (05:56):
It's one of my favourite movies. Amanda doesn't like it
so much.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I'll explain why when we return.

Speaker 7 (06:03):
135522, if you'd like to call us and play the
Fast Five.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
On Gold.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Jam Nation.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Gold, hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda across Australia driving
you home.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
We're fast in this thing, girl.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Faster than the speed of light. Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Fast Five.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
And we are into the Fast Five this Monday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
This is going to Chris in Cabramatta. Hello, Chris.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
G'day, Amanda. How are you?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Very well, thank you. Here's a famous quote from a
famous film. I'm also just a girl standing in front
of a boy. Asking him to love her. Which film
is that from?

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Oh, look, it's not normally my forte, but I believe
it's Notting Hill.

Speaker 7 (06:40):
You believe right. I love Notting Hill. Amanda's not a
big fan.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Well, that's because I was going through IVF at the time.
And so when I went to see it, I didn't
think that she and Hugh Grant had any chemistry. It
was a great film. I loved all the rest of it.
But then at the end, I was just, I'd found
out the day before that an attempt we did hadn't
resulted in a, in an embryo, all of that. And

(07:04):
so to watch them go through the normal cycle of
couple fall in love, pregnant at the end, it just
made me angry because I thought that doesn't happen for everybody.
It seems to happen for everybody but me. So that's
why I didn't like the film, only on a very
personal level.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Have you watched it since?

Speaker 13 (07:21):
No.

Speaker 7 (07:21):
Because you've got two strapping boys now.

Speaker 14 (07:23):
I know.

Speaker 7 (07:23):
So it might land differently.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh, I'm sure it would absolutely land differently. I'm not
like you. I rarely re-watch a film.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
I really like it.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Chris, if you see a film, do you watch it
more than once?

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Oh, look, probably rarely. When I was younger, I think
as you get older, you're sort of, yeah, I don't know,
a bit time poor for doing that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yeah, I think so too. Actually, that's an interesting pub test,
watching films more than once. I don't think I ever have.

Speaker 7 (07:48):
What's a movie you can watch again and again?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
That's to you, Chris, that question.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
You know what?

Speaker 7 (07:56):
You know what?

Speaker 4 (07:56):
I really like Lord of the Rings because that was
a book that I read when I was young and
I loved it. And it's just light and airy and
it's got that feel-good quality to it. It's not very manly,
I know.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Not at all. There's nothing you don't have to be manly.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
We're not Triple M, mate. It's not man-central here.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Brendan, what's yours?

Speaker 7 (08:18):
I am a man, Jonesy.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
You are a man.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Having said that, Jonesy, yours would be Mad Max.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Oh, definitely. I can watch Mad Max constantly.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (08:25):
But, okay, I can watch it again and again and
I really enjoy it. is Yesterday. Have you seen Yesterday?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yes, I have.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
The guy, have you heard of this movie, Chris? He's
a guy that has this strange accident. He's a struggling
musician and he's on the verge of giving up, has
this strange accident. And for some reason, the Beatles don't exist.
And he's the only one in the world that knows
The Beatles' music.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's a great film.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
And he starts recording all these songs and Ed Sheeran's
in it.

Speaker 11 (08:51):
It was really good.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
I'd watch it.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I loved it, but I wouldn't watch it more than once.
Even films I love, I wouldn't watch more than once.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Chris, let's get back to this.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
You know what? I haven't seen it, but I'm going
to watch it.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Go and see it.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
You'll like it, Chris.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Thanks for the tip.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Question number four. Found only in Australia, which animal is
also known as the rabbit-eared bandicoot?

Speaker 7 (09:11):
What would that be?

Speaker 4 (09:12):
A rabbit. Gravity of Bandicoot.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
What do you think?

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Not the Bilby.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
It is the Bilby.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
It's the Bilby.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
And this is question five for you, Chris.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Which documentary show currently hosted by Leigh Sales is celebrating
its 30th anniversary?

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I think I'm out.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh, Chris, farewell.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Well, let's get Kelly on the line.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Hello, Kelly of Blacktown. How are you?

Speaker 7 (09:37):
We haven't had you on for ages, Kel.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
We've missed you.

Speaker 14 (09:40):
I'm not at Blacktown no more.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh, okay. Where are you now? Bathurst. Have you moved
to Bathurst? That's my old university stomping ground. Are you
loving it?

Speaker 7 (09:51):
No, I hate it.

Speaker 13 (09:51):
It's too cold.

Speaker 14 (09:53):
Ask Jenna what's going on. She'll tell you. Jenna knows
what's going on.

Speaker 7 (09:56):
Digital Jenna knows what's going on.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Okay, well, Kel, we'll get.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
The information back. her, Kelly. To let everyone else know, Kelly,
every Anzac Day.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
Yeah, when we did breakfast radio.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Kelly would send us a batch of Anzac biscuits.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
And you'll always do that.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
We loved them. We've always loved them.

Speaker 14 (10:11):
And there's a reason why you didn't get them, but
Jenna knows what that reason is as well.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Is everything okay, Kelly?

Speaker 14 (10:17):
Not really.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Oh, Kelly.

Speaker 7 (10:20):
Well, you don't have to tell us.

Speaker 13 (10:21):
I'm fine.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (10:23):
All right.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm fine.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
Your life's not good.

Speaker 14 (10:26):
Yeah, as I said, Jenna knows.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Okay. No, we won't press you further, Kelly.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
We won't press you further, but we're very fond of you, Kelly.

Speaker 14 (10:33):
There's a spent bed here if you want to come
down for the motor racing.

Speaker 7 (10:37):
Yeah, I'll come down for when the bikes are running
around Bathurst.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
And the cars. What about when the cars go around?

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, the cars.

Speaker 7 (10:43):
I've seen the cars many times. But the bikes, when
the bikes run around.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
What about when the biscuits go around, Kelly? Can I
come for that?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Biscuits go around.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah, why not?

Speaker 1 (10:51):
And maybe Amanda can show you some of her old
haunts and then you'll fall in love with Bathurst.

Speaker 14 (10:56):
My daughter actually went to the same uni.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh, did she? There you go.

Speaker 14 (11:00):
Yeah, she sort of followed your path. She was a journalist,
but she does the newspaper down here.

Speaker 7 (11:05):
Oh, good old.

Speaker 11 (11:07):
Oh, this is good.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
That's where I met Andrew Denton and all of that crowd.
Here is question number five for you. Which documentary show,
hosted by Lee Sales, is celebrating its 30th anniversary?

Speaker 14 (11:18):
Australian Story.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Australian Story, and Lee is on our show today.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well, Kelly, and you know what? In Bathurst, there's a
great Bunnings, and you've got a $ 250 Bunnings gift card.

Speaker 14 (11:27):
Yeah, I've already been there too.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh, well, there you go.

Speaker 7 (11:31):
It's got the gift card.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
You can get the world's biggest sausage.

Speaker 7 (11:34):
It sounds to me, Kelly, that you've warmed to Bathurst.

Speaker 14 (11:37):
Weather, no, but it is warming up here at.

Speaker 10 (11:41):
The moment, so yeah.

Speaker 7 (11:43):
Well, we are coming into it. Summer and spring and.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
We don't understand the notion.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Congratulations to you, Kelly.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Thank you, Kelly.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
And we'll... Yes, we'll find out what's going on in
your life.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
Well, Lee Sales is going to be joining us. Australian
Story is turning 30. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 15 (11:57):
And.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Keep going, Brendan.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
If you'd like to play the Fast Five, jonesyandamanda.com.au on Gold.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
See a whole lot more of Jonesy and Amanda on
our socials.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
Jonesy and Amanda!

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Gold, hello there.

Speaker 7 (12:10):
It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this Monday afternoon.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I've been reading about a new maxing. You know how
guys are into looks maxing, health and wellness maxing, and
that includes fiber maxing and protein maxing.

Speaker 15 (12:25):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Are you into all that?

Speaker 6 (12:27):
No.

Speaker 12 (12:27):
No.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
I would take the Metamucil.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
You're into poo maxing.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
I'm into the Muse because it's good for you.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Okay. But you've taken that long before the maxing fad.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
I was on the Muse.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
You're an early Muse adopter.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
I was into the Muse before anyone else.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Well, yeah. This is all about hyperfixating on specific nutrient intake.
So you're stacking multiple supplements without medical advice. And some
people are tracking their blood sugar via those continuous glucose
monitors that are for people who have diabetes.

Speaker 7 (12:57):
My mum's got one.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Yeah, that's right, because your mum has diabetes.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, I kind of like checking her telemetry. I go,
let's have a look at your blood sugar. And then
I say, what have you been eating?

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah. Oh, terrible. What have you been eating?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
What a bully. There's also lifestyle maxing. This is things
like money maxing, extreme budgeting and hustling and side projects
and things.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Side hustle.

Speaker 10 (13:18):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Study maxing. Yeah. Friction maxing, forcing yourself to do hard,
uncomfortable things to build resilience.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Like what?

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I don't know. There's voice maxing, protein maxing, fiber maxing.
We've spoken about those.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Brain maxing, trying to boost cognitive performance. You should try it, Brendan.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
But what about this? This is the one I read
about on the weekend, which is pheromone maxing.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Young men apparently are now skipping showers before going on
dates with women. Pheromone maxing is what it's called, and
it's a new trend in the manosphere. This is the
article I've seen. So young men are skipping showering, skipping deodorant.
They're wearing unwashed shirts, and then they're even drinking their
own urine. This is because alcohol is so expensive. So

(14:08):
this is because they want to sweat out the toxins.
According to a new report from Vice magazine, pheromone maxing
is becoming an increasing trend for young men. The goal
is that by drinking your own urine, you will release toxins.
And by not showering and not wearing deodorant, et cetera,
wearing dirty clothes, you will likely have more pheromones and
therefore be more attractive. They have said, funnily enough, No

(14:32):
evidence exists that this works. Because what I know about
young women, they love a stinky urine breath man. And
if you think that this is crazy and could not
be true, what about, you remember Clavicula? We've spoken about
him with his.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Clavicula?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, that's his name. His looks maxing. This is the
guy who would smash his face with a hammer for
his bone smashing.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Because the bone smashing with a hammer. A hammer or
a blunt object gives people the false belief that healing
micro fractures will give them a sharper jawline and cheekbones.
So that's the part of the looks maxing. So if
you think drinking your own urine and not showering is
a really weird subset, yes, it is. But what about that?

Speaker 7 (15:16):
Maybe do some brain maxing before you take on.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
These other things.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
Maybe some read maxing, reading some science maxing and see
how you go.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Maybe some lecture maxing.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
That's what every young man needs, someone to lecture them.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
Lee Sayles, she's going to be joining us.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
30th anniversary of Australian Story. Lee joining us next on Gold. Gold,
it's Jonesy Demand driving you home across Australia.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
For 30 years, Australian Story has brought us some of
the most uplifting, heartbreaking and extraordinary stories. Tonight on the ABC,
they are celebrating this with a program that shows the
length and breadth of all the stories they've covered. Of course,
the person to speak to is the woman in the
eye of the storm, and that is Lee Sars.

Speaker 13 (16:01):
Hello, Lee.

Speaker 7 (16:01):
Well, I'm the only.

Speaker 10 (16:02):
Here she is.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
You can tell I went off piste in that intro,
but go with me.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
You went full Daryl Summers.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I did a little bit.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
I remember watching when Amanda was on Dance With The
Stars and Daryl was there hosting it, and there was
a bit he had this ginormous cue card, and I'm
watching him.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
Reading the cue card.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
And there's a bit that he just went fully off-piste
with the cue card. And the cue card guy's going,
where are you going, Daryl? And then Daryl got it back.
It was like he'd gone on to some black run
and then he managed to get it.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
And then we're all drinking hot chocolate.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
And glue vine.

Speaker 10 (16:39):
That is a beautiful visual metaphor for the way TV
people can kind of, you know, scramble around. But, yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Well done, Daryl.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
So tell us, 30 years. Obviously, there are some stories
that the public has just never recovered from in good
ways and bad, just ones that have kicked everyone in
the feels. What are some of those bigger ones?

Speaker 10 (17:00):
Look, the one that actually our viewers voted as their
favourite of all time is about a farming couple from Queensland,
Gail and Max Shan. And she had a terrible farming accident.
I think they would have been in their 20s and
she lost use of both arms, lost one arm completely
and use of the other arm. And they wanted to
try to keep the farm going. And it's just the

(17:22):
most moving, incredible story. They're the most gorgeous people. And
we've checked in with them four times over the decades
to just keep tabs on how they're going. And that's
the one. They're not famous people, but they're the ones
that our viewers love the most.

Speaker 7 (17:36):
Is there anyone that you really want to do?

Speaker 10 (17:38):
Look, we try all the time. Like every year we
try for like your Kylie Minogues and people like that.
But it's really hard to get very famous people now
because there's so many platforms where they can do their
own doco or tell their own story as Kylie has
done on Netflix and very successfully. I'm always just looking
out for a random, normal, non-famous person but who has

(18:02):
an amazing backstory and is doing something incredible. Like one
of my favorites was I don't know if you guys
have ever met Eddie Woo, who's the maths guy. He
has a channel on YouTube called WooTube.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (18:13):
He's just the greatest guy. And he's just, you know,
I think he's got two million followers now on WooTube.
And he still teaches at the same high school in Sydney,
but he's always taught at. Like, he's just the best.
And so I love ones like that.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
What do you think this gives people? I saw people
on socials today talking about having watched the Sydney Marathon
and they said it reminded people people of the essential
goodness of people. I think Australian story does something the same.
It reminds us of the beauty in humanity.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Absolutely.

Speaker 10 (18:46):
And also all the things that we have in common
when so often what's in the public space is about
all the ways that we're different and all the ways
we disagree with each other. Because I think with Australian story,
even if the person being featured is famous, they're often
talking about the private part of their life that you
don't see in there, that their brother's got schizophrenia like
Claudia Carver and that she's his primary carer and he

(19:07):
lives in a share home and she goes and sees
him once a week and all of that. Or it's
Michael Clearm and he's dealing with just a horrible health
setback that's ruined his mobility. Or it's just ordinary people
like Galen McShann dealing with whatever life has thrown them.
And I think when you watch it, It's both a
mirror held up to you because you realize, oh, everyone's

(19:28):
got their challenges and their things they have to deal with.
And people amazingly just kind of do adapt, even though
life can be painful and joyful permanently at the same time.
But there's also some vague, odd sense of reassurance in
it that you feel kind of like a sense of
community or something around it. So I think that's what makes...

(19:50):
people keep coming back to it.

Speaker 8 (19:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:52):
People come back to it.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I can't let you go without discussing you at the
Logies and your extraordinary legs.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
Yeah, what about that?

Speaker 8 (19:59):
Who knew?

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Did you borrow those for the night? And if you did,
where have you taken them back to? Because I'd like
to use them too.

Speaker 10 (20:05):
They're like hair extensions. You just clip them on kind
of at the top of your hips. And then, you know,
they just add on to your extra legs. No, look,
I thought I was 53 this year. I've never worn
a short dress to the Logies. And I just thought, well,
why the hell am I going to the gym all
the time if I'm not going to get it?

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
And it looked great. I saw you on the way in.
You did.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
You look good.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
You did.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
And I saw you on the way in. You said,
you know, I hope it's not too short.

Speaker 8 (20:27):
And then.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
About 18 times you won so many awards. I saw
you going up the stairs. I thought, yep, I still
can't see your undies. You did well.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
That's very reassuring because where you were seated, you would
have been in pole position to look right up my clacker.
I feel like nobody could see anything.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
That should be a new ABC show, right up my clacker.

Speaker 10 (20:49):
Right up Lee Sales' clacker.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
How many people are in there?

Speaker 7 (20:53):
Well, you know, that could be an OnlyFans opportunity.

Speaker 8 (20:55):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Very nice.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Lee, it's always great to talk to you. Australian Story,
the 30th anniversary episode, airs tonight at 8 o'clock.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
On ABC TV and ABC iView.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Always great to have you on the show, Lee.

Speaker 10 (21:08):
Thank you, my friend.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Talk now about a miracle of recording. Josie and Amanda.
We'll do it live!

Speaker 12 (21:17):
Josie and Amanda, those are two great names.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Such a scam.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
I'm not a scam.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Sense the chemistry between them. But how much of that
is real?

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Mind your own business and shut your pie hole.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
I wish you well with your show.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Let me ask you this. When you went to school,
remember all that one day you went to school, what
did you have? Mum packed you a lunch?

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I'd promptly throw over the fence
at the back of the school.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
And then go and buy a pie?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
And then she'd come. No, no, I just wouldn't eat anything.
We didn't have pies back.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
In those days.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Why did you throw your lunch away?

Speaker 7 (21:45):
Because she'd make honey sandwiches and I just didn't like.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Honey on bread.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Oh, honey sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
And I'd throw it straight over the fence.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
And if you told her you didn't want honey?

Speaker 7 (21:53):
And then I'd come home and she'd do the interrogation. Oh,
how was your lunch today?

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I said, great. I loved it.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Oh, really?

Speaker 7 (22:00):
You really like peanut butter? I love peanut butter.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
And then she said, well, that's a lie. I gave
you a honey sandwich. And then she knew the lady
over the fence as well. and a collection of sandwiches.
But I wasn't the only kid. Every kid was throwing
their sandwiches over there.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
And did you get any sweet treats?

Speaker 7 (22:14):
No, no sweet treats. There was no such thing.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Lunchboxes at schools today have become so political thanks to
WhatsApp groups, thanks to social media, thanks to parents just
being so much more involved in their kids' lives. But
a story has gone viral in America, super viral. There
are memes, there are songs, a whole lot of things
around a certain WhatsApp group for mums and around one

(22:39):
sweet treat in a lunchbox. I'll tell you more next.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
That's coming up on Gold. Gold, hello there.

Speaker 7 (22:46):
It's Jonesy and Amanda, the last day of August as
we drive you home.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
A single screenshot of a WhatsApp parents group, a mother's
group for five-year-olds has garnered 10 million views and has
set America into a frenzy.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
WhatsApp groups.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
WhatsApp groups, particularly mum's WhatsApp groups.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
I couldn't think of anything worse.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
We've got, what have we got in our lives?

Speaker 7 (23:09):
We've got our work one here.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
So I'm in five possibly WhatsApp groups ranging from our
friends group to other friends group.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
But they're by choice.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
To the consortium of people that I've bought this crazy
fishing boat with.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
But they're all by choice. The school ones are different
because often that's the only way, and it wasn't in
my day either as a parent, the only way parents
today get access because the school uses that to filter
information through. But then there may be 10 people, 20
people involved. Your phone would constantly be binging. But you
don't have to.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Do you have to do that?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I think you probably do. That might be the only
way you'll hear that there's a mufti day or whatever,
that kind of thing. But let me tell you about
this particular one. So this single thing is all about Oreos.
And you may have heard of Oreo Gate. It has
gone ballistic. So there are five or six in this
group for five-year-olds. And it starts with a woman called

(24:01):
Michelle saying, hi, everyone. Sorry, slightly awkward one, but could
we maybe agree on some basic rules around lunchboxes? One
of the other mums says, of course, is this about allergies? No,
not allergy related. Ava came home really upset yesterday because
one of the girls had Oreos in her lunch. Oh,
why was she upset? Well, we don't allow that kind
of thing at home. She obviously wanted them when she

(24:23):
saw someone else eating them. I was wondering if we
could agree not to send things like Oreos, chocolate candy,
so the kids aren't comparing lunches. What world is she in?
And the other parents said, sorry, back off.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
And so she then went to the teacher. She approached
the school and requested the parents be given an approved
snack list. The parents said, Really, we encourage healthy snacks,
but this is up to the parents. And the world,
North America in particular, has gone crazy. I've seen T-shirts
with pictures of Oreos saying, justice for Ava, and all

(24:57):
these memes of mothers buying all the Oreos off the
shelves saying, I'm doing it for Ava. I'm going to
flood Ava with Oreos.

Speaker 7 (25:04):
So Ava's not intolerant. She's just not allowed to have them.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Not allowed to have them. You know how people have
taken conversations and turning them into gospel songs?

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's happened here.

Speaker 8 (25:14):
Sorry, slightly awkward one, but could we maybe agree on
some basic rules around lunch boxes?

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Of course!

Speaker 6 (25:21):
Is this about allergies?

Speaker 15 (25:22):
No, nothing allergy related.

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Ava came home really upset yesterday because one of the
girls had Oreos in her lunch.

Speaker 15 (25:29):
Oh, why was she upset?

Speaker 6 (25:31):
We don't allow that kind of thing at home, so
obviously she wanted them when she saw someone else eating them.

Speaker 12 (25:36):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
I thought there had been an allergy issue or something? No!
I just wondered if we could agree not to send
things like.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Isn't it great? And then there's part two.

Speaker 7 (25:50):
Came home upset.

Speaker 16 (25:51):
Again today please don't say oreos yes actually someone sent
them again that would be me right so after our
conversation yesterday they were already in her lunchbox michelle i'm
sorry but this is getting ridiculous i.

Speaker 15 (26:04):
Don't think my daughter coming home.

Speaker 16 (26:06):
Praying two days in a row is ridiculous but michelle
nobody's giving them to ava they're just eating their own
lunch which is why i've emailed the teacher about.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
It's so catchy.

Speaker 8 (26:20):
I love it. It's so catchy.

Speaker 15 (26:21):
How does it finish?

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Well, it finished with.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
It finished with all of them packing extra Oreos for
their own kids to give Ava. And then Michelle went ballistic,
et cetera, et cetera. It's so fascinating. And other people
posting pictures themselves saying, dinner can wait. I need to
find out whether Ava had an Oreo today.

Speaker 7 (27:01):
You know, Oreo should get in on this.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Well, already people are going, well, this is a conspiracy.
Ava doesn't exist.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Save that for Tin Hat Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (27:10):
That's quite right.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Jam Nation. Gold, hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda across
Australia driving you home. WhatsApp groups, I am not a fan.
But you could.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Dip out of the parents' ones.

Speaker 7 (27:21):
I missed out on the parents' ones.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (27:23):
There was never a time because it wasn't invented, thank
the Lord.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
You'd have to carry a pigeon of an evening to
get the school messages.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
And I don't think we even had emails for my
kids as far as what was going on. You'd get
a note home from school.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
If there was trouble.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
And if there was trouble.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Or you'd find a note in the bottom of the
bag and to realize that they'd missed a school excursion
from three weeks ago. But this is hypervigilance and it
must be absolutely exhausting. There's a case in the States
at the moment. It's called Oreo Gate. It was a
group of mums, one of them saying that her daughter
isn't allergic, but they don't like, but she doesn't want
her child to be jealous of someone else's lunchbox. So

(28:03):
she asked everyone not to pack sweets or chocolates or
Oreos in the lunchboxes. And the other mums, quite rightly,
are outraged. It's even been put to song.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Well, I really didn't want to.

Speaker 16 (28:13):
Bring this up again, but Ava came home upset again today.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Please don't say Oreos.

Speaker 7 (28:18):
Yes, actually, someone sent them again.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
That would be me.

Speaker 6 (28:20):
Right.

Speaker 15 (28:21):
So after our.

Speaker 16 (28:21):
Conversation yesterday, they were already in her lunchbox, Michelle.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
I'm sorry, but this is getting ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
I don't think my daughter's coming home.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
When I was at school, my mate Cassa, his mum,
and we didn't get treats back in those days. But
my mate Casa, his mum used to pack a frozen
Herbert Adams chocolate donut.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yum.

Speaker 7 (28:44):
And he would, he was like.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
So it's frozen in the morning.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Frozen in the morning. And this is just, we didn't
even understand the concept of frozen donuts. It was a
new thing. So she just put it in the lunchbox
and we'd all gather around.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
And by little lunch, it was thawed out.

Speaker 7 (28:59):
It was perfect. And Casa would.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Did he share it with you? Yeah, he would.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah, because he wasn't a big fan of it.

Speaker 7 (29:04):
So he'd share his chocolate donut around.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Right.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
It's another WhatsApp group entirely.

Speaker 7 (29:14):
Who wants a bit of Cass's chocolate donut?

Speaker 6 (29:16):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Thank you. Well, the tribal drum is going to beat
for this. Tales of the School WhatsApp Group.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Tribal drum.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
The tribal drum is beating for this. Your school WhatsApp group.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I need edumacation on this.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Feel free to out other parents how ridiculous it's got.
how you missed all the messages. What have you got
for us?

Speaker 1 (29:34):
If you talk about a WhatsApp group here, though, if
you say the name of the WhatsApp group.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
We don't have, we don't, don't, don't.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Just saying, because I was about to talk about all
the WhatsApp groups I'm on, but if I mention it,
does that mean that people can look it up and
join it?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
They're going to see how lowly your boat is and
who's going to paint the rudder this week.

Speaker 7 (29:53):
Well, excuse me.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
I'll just say this to the fellows. I worked on
the boat all weekend while they were out motorbike riding,
spending time with their families.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
And loved ones. Brendan, you're a broadcaster. Don't waste this
space on that.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Anyway, I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
We want school WhatsApp groups, not your goofy boat ones.

Speaker 7 (30:21):
A simple discussion around an Oreo biscuit in a lunchbox
has ignited North America.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
They've gone crazy and people seem to be on the
side of the Oreo.

Speaker 7 (30:25):
There's one family, a mother who's saying.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
My daughter's not allergic, but I don't want her to
have Oreos.

Speaker 7 (30:44):
We don't have those treats at home.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Could you please not put them in your kids' lunchboxes
because I don't want her to come home upset that
she can't have them. People are going, that's life, Michelle.
The whole thing has been put to music. It goes
a little like this.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
Sorry slightly awkward one but could we maybe agree on
some basic rules around lunch boxes of course is this
about allergies.

Speaker 15 (31:05):
No nothing allergy related.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
Ava came home really upset yesterday because one of the
girls had oreos.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
In her lunch oh why was she upset we don't.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
Allow that kind of thing at home so obviously she
wanted them when she saw someone else eating them uh
okay i thought there had been an allergy.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
Issue or something and then it escalated it escalates.

Speaker 7 (31:27):
Michelle, the lunchbox has already been packed.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
You can't unpack a lunchbox. Michelle, what lessons are you
giving your child? Goodness me.

Speaker 16 (31:33):
But these school WhatsApp groups are a fraud.

Speaker 7 (31:36):
They're absolutely fraud. Thank God I miss them. Tracy is
on the Sunshine Cast.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Hello, Tracy. What was the tale of the WhatsApp group?

Speaker 11 (31:57):
Hello. Yes, well, it wasn't actually me, but my daughter
got a WhatsApp message about my grandson and not to
bring twisties to school. He had a little packet of
twisties in his lunchbox because they were unhealthy.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
Oh, come on.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Where is your evidence that twisties are unhealthy?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah. And what did other parents respond?

Speaker 11 (32:21):
Well, I do the pick up and drop off and
pick up. And I was sort of there talking to
the mothers and that. And they were saying, yes, you know,
it's unhealthy food because everyone's healthy and blah, blah, blah.
And I just said, well, you know, I can agree
with that. But, you know, if you want to make
his lunch and pack his lunch for school, go right ahead.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Well, that's right. And parents are oftentimes poor. We get,
I mean, we know the information. But if a packet
of twisties goes in a lunchbox as opposed to a
carrot stick, I think we're going to be okay.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
When I was a kid, my dad gave me a
carton of cigarettes to give to my teacher as a
Christmas gift. And I just had a flashback to it then.

Speaker 7 (33:04):
And I just remembered. He said, oh, thanks, mate.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
That's great.

Speaker 7 (33:06):
Tell your dad thanks.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Remember in pottery, we'd all make ashtrays.

Speaker 13 (33:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Everyone's parents smoked.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
And people are complaining about twisties.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
I know.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
This is a carton of Dunhill.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Thank you, Tracy.

What did you get in the WhatsApp group?

Speaker 13 (33:21):
Oh, can I just tell you, like, flat out, the
WhatsApp groups kill my soul. I have a kid in
year five and a kid in year three, and we
do scouts, we do football, we do dance. There are
so many WhatsApp groups, and it's just so overwhelming and
all too much. But to top it all off, about
a week and a half ago, just before Book Week,
a parent posted and said that their kid was going

(33:42):
as Harry Potter. and to make sure that no one
else in the class was going to dress the same
because they wanted their kid to be the only Harry Potter.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Oh, no.

Speaker 13 (33:51):
Now, that caused an absolute uproar, and I think every
parent just wanted to go against what she asked for,
and it was just a nightmare. The comments that were
coming left, right, and center were, why can't we go
as Harry Potter? What are you doing? Why do you
get to control this? And I think really deep down
she must have been from Slytherin, but she ended up
sitting off to the side while everybody else watched the

(34:13):
book parade and she had her arms folded very strongly
against everybody else in real life.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
And were most of the kids dressed as Harry Potter
because of it?

Speaker 13 (34:21):
There were definitely a few Harry Potter days.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Yeah, there would have been.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
I would have leaned into it.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Wow. And Jessica, do you have to be a part
of this?

Speaker 13 (34:30):
Oh, I try to ignore it a lot of the time,
but like sometimes the notifications are rife and you just can't.
It's like watching a car accident. You can't look away
because there's so many things that are happening all the time.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
And also as a parent, you're made to feel guilty
if you're not across things and that plays into a
lot of it. You can't look away.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
I remember I was sailing with those old blokes and
they said, let's do a WhatsApp group. And I said, fellas,
I don't want to be involved in this because first
part of the WhatsApp group was explaining how to set
up a WhatsApp group.

Speaker 7 (34:57):
And then explaining what actually WhatsApp is.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
So then you've got George going.

Speaker 7 (35:01):
What's WhatsApp? And you say, George, you're on it. You're
actually on it right now. You've got it.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
But also part of it is if you wish someone
a happy birthday privately, then publicly on the WhatsApp you
have to also.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yes, you've got to do it as well.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
And no wonder why we go crazy with notifications. Thank you, Jess.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
135522, if you'd like to join in on this, your
call's coming up on Gold.

Speaker 13 (35:21):
Jess!

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Gold, hello there. It's Jonesy Demander driving you home. By now,
you may be familiar with Oreo Gate.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
This has taken America by storm. It may have come
up on your feeds, as it were. This is a
mum's WhatsApp group for school for five-year-olds. The kids are
only five. One of the kids had an Oreo. The
other mother said, hey, can we not send chocolatey things
because we don't like that stuff in our home? And
the others have said, sorry, what does that have to

(35:48):
do with us? It has completely blown up. It's been
turned into song. Hi, everyone.

Speaker 8 (35:53):
Sorry, slightly awkward one, but could we maybe agree on
some basic rules around lunchboxes?

Speaker 6 (35:58):
Of course. Is this about allergies?

Speaker 15 (36:01):
No, nothing allergy related.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
The lunchbox is already packed.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Don't you understand, Michelle?

Speaker 16 (36:07):
Also, the big picture here is the entitlement of my
daughter doesn't, I don't want my daughter to have it.

Speaker 7 (36:11):
Therefore, she can't see it.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Welcome to the world, Michelle. Yeah, Michelle.

Speaker 7 (36:31):
The tribal drum is beating tails.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
It's beating suck on that, Michelle.

Speaker 7 (36:34):
The school WhatsApp group. Kelly has joined us.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Hello, Kelly. Tell us about the WhatsApp group.

Speaker 14 (36:41):
Hi, Jonesy and Amanda. Big fan. Look, I'm calling with
a vote for the WhatsApp group, and I'll tell you why.
Because 30-odd years ago when I had a stepdaughter at
primary school, she came home and convinced me right before
her birthday that every time one of the children in
her mixed class has a birthday... They come with cupcakes
for the entire class. Okay, Dem, how many people.

Speaker 4 (37:04):
In the class?

Speaker 13 (37:04):
36.

Speaker 15 (37:05):
Okay.

Speaker 14 (37:06):
So I spent the night before her birthday making 36
cupcakes for her to take to school. And it turns
out this is not a thing. And I'm the only
parent that year.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
That took cupcakes to school.

Speaker 14 (37:19):
So I think if I'd had a WhatsApp group back then,
I might have been able to confirm with all the
other mothers, do I really need to make 36 cupcakes?

Speaker 1 (37:25):
You make a good point, Kelly, because I was smack
bang in the middle of the little cakes and I
was there when they banned the cakes coming to school. Wow.
Because there was a lot of pressure back then.

Speaker 14 (37:36):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
36 cupcakes. Some mum went and got fully catered cupcakes
and they said, right, that's it. You know, Chris Radburn,
a very funny stand-up comedian, he sums it all up
with the tale of the WhatsApp netball group.

Speaker 17 (37:50):
The problem with WhatsApp groups is there's just too much messaging.
My netball group for my daughter, the coach will ask
a simple question.

Speaker 15 (37:58):
Who can't make netball?

Speaker 10 (38:02):
Simple, isn't it?

Speaker 15 (38:03):
And what do you get? We'll be there.

Speaker 17 (38:06):
See you soon.

Speaker 14 (38:08):
Can't wait.

Speaker 17 (38:09):
Didn't f * * * ing ask that, did we?
LAUGHTER just want to know who can't make netball that's
it should be one or two messages that's it then
you get one mum goes oh sorry we can't make
it Evie sprained her ankle oh f * * *
off because then you get 20 messages of support oh

(38:30):
poor Evie get well soon oh that's not good then
you get one mum that makes it about herself doesn't
she Oh, that happened to my.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Daughter last year.

Speaker 7 (38:46):
It really does hurt.

Speaker 17 (38:50):
One mum that actually does answer the question goes, oh,
we can't make it.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
We'll be in Paris.

Speaker 9 (38:54):
Oh, f * * * off, Daisy.

Speaker 17 (38:57):
You show off. And you can't leave because then it
says Chris left the group. Dads are the best in WhatsApp.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
It's just this.

Speaker 7 (39:07):
Just a thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Just a thumbs up.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Just a thumbs up. Coming up, Instagram is on the way.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Amanda podcast.

Speaker 6 (39:22):
We had so many requests for them to do it again.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
Amanda, she just cracks me up. Maybe we should lay
off the moonshine.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
Jonesy's always knocking Amanda.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
It's so weak.

Speaker 10 (39:33):
Amanda's always knocking Jonesy.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I'm done.

Speaker 12 (39:36):
Take it in the guts, Barry.

Speaker 7 (39:37):
Gen Y Rye is not here.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
He's on a fact-finding mission to Edinburgh for the weekend
to see if his play Kingdom of Fools has a
place at the festival.

Speaker 7 (39:46):
We have Ryan with a B. Brian, who has filled
in very well.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Always good. Big, well, not really, but you've done a
great job. I was reading, funnily enough, about Edinburgh Festival.

Speaker 6 (39:58):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
People have been complaining about the substandard acts of that
have been appearing at this year's festival.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Not the Australians, all the great Australian comedians.

Speaker 7 (40:06):
No, no, people have been complaining. People have been wanting
their money back. So Gemma Rye is.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
He'll be going, how easy is this?

Speaker 1 (40:12):
It's easy. I'm making the jokes because his show is very,
very good.

Speaker 7 (40:16):
Of course it is.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
Away from Gemma Rye's side hustle, have you seen an ad,
a Kia ad, and it involves a senator? Do you
know what a senator is?

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Senator?

Speaker 7 (40:25):
Senator.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Isn't it a centaur?

Speaker 1 (40:28):
A centaur, yeah, a centaur.

Speaker 7 (40:29):
I was thinking of the Holden Senator.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
A centaur, yes.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
There's a whole lot of men in robes from ancient
Rome running along.

Speaker 7 (40:36):
Mythical creature, half man, half horse.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Yes, I'm fascinated by the centaur.

Speaker 7 (40:40):
What's a minotaur? That's half man, half bull.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Is it?

Speaker 6 (40:44):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yeah, that's you.

Speaker 7 (40:48):
And what's a fawn? Half man, half goat.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
That's you too. But that one stands up on two legs.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Yeah, and plays a piccolo.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Does the bull have four legs?

Speaker 6 (41:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
No.

Speaker 6 (41:02):
No.

Speaker 7 (41:03):
The bull has two legs and a man body.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
The head's the bull head.

Speaker 6 (41:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
It was a centaur.

Speaker 7 (41:11):
Centaur.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Horse body, human head.

Speaker 10 (41:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
You wouldn't want it the other way around.

Speaker 7 (41:17):
Anyway, I just want to run something past you.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Disappointing for everybody.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
Brian.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Brian, you can be a part of this. I feel
it's Whipole worthy. We'll have that for you. Also, Instagram
makes its return. If you'd like to play, jonesydemander.com.au. All right, gold.
Hello there.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
It's Jonesy Demander driving.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
You home across Australia this Monday afternoon, the last day
of August.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
The last day of winter, I think. Is that right?

Speaker 7 (41:45):
Must be. Thank you, Brian, for your input on that.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
That's why we aren't working for the Bureau of Meteorology.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Ryan with a B is filling in for Ryan, who
is over in Edinburgh, scoping locations for his show, Kingdom
of Tools.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Well, I think he's just going to, you know, have
a look around.

Speaker 7 (42:03):
Okay. So he's not coming back until Wednesday.

Speaker 6 (42:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
So having a look around.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
In the meantime, I was watching the telly last night
and something that came up on the telly in an ad.
and we've got a bit of discussion around the Jones
family dinner table, is the new Kia ad. It's their
hybrid car, and it's got a centaur in it. So
it's got a herd of centaurs gathered in the forest.
I'll get the ad up so you guys can have
a look. So there's the centaur.

Speaker 7 (42:30):
They're all gathered.

Speaker 2 (42:31):
Handsome men, aren't they?

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Senses something amiss, and then running along next to the
hybrid Kia. And see the centaur, which is the same
dude that was in the 12. Did you watch the 12?

Speaker 6 (42:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
With Hugo Weaving. Not Hugo Weaving.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Sam Neill.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Sam Neill.

Speaker 7 (42:48):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
With Sam Neill in it.

Speaker 7 (42:49):
But anyway, he's the actor that plays one of the.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
What's a centaur doing there? It looks so unattractive.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
And if we freeze it right there, as you could see,
as he comes out of the forest, he's running along.

Speaker 7 (43:00):
And for those that don't know, a centaur.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
Has four legs. It's got an animal.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Like a horsey?

Speaker 2 (43:06):
A full horse, except where the horse would normally get
its front half and its neck going up.

Speaker 7 (43:11):
Yeah, that's where his torso is.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
It's a man's torso. So he's upright. The top half
is upright and the back is a horse.

Speaker 7 (43:17):
Which begs the question.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
You could ride him. Is that the question?

Speaker 1 (43:21):
No.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
My mistake. What was your question?

Speaker 1 (43:25):
What was your question?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
You could.

Speaker 13 (43:29):
You could.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
I don't know. Would centaurs mind if you rode them? Anyway,
just away from that for a minute. The main part
is look what he's running. And if we freeze it
right there, his arms are like he's riding a horse.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
It looks like he's riding a horse. But on that
wider shot, I thought that it looked a bit like,
you know, when kangaroos square up for a fight and
they're flexing and their hands are just in front of them.
I imagined that a centaur would run like a runner,
like Usain Bolt arms.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
Yeah, but the arms would be out because you'd use
those for your momentum.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Yeah, or to make a cup of tea.

Speaker 7 (44:06):
It feels to me that this- Well, the.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Arms are extraneous to a certain extent when it's running.

Speaker 7 (44:13):
He doesn't even really need arms.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
No, unless he's making a cup of tea or playing Scrabble.

Speaker 7 (44:18):
Then he'd need arms. But do you know what I mean?
So what do you think? Would they run along like this?

Speaker 2 (44:24):
You have to explain what you're doing.

Speaker 7 (44:25):
My arms are- Like a human just running.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah, like running.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Actually, I've seen you run. You look like a T-Rex.
Your shoulders are up and your hands are small. They're
like chicken arms.

Speaker 7 (44:36):
You know what I run like?

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Tell me.

Speaker 7 (44:38):
I run like Mel Gibson in any of his movies.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
You know when he's running? It looks like he's getting
chased by something. He's always chasing something. In Mad Max,
he's running.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
It's interesting that when we think about actors in movies
and they must dread the sex scenes, but also they
must go, oh, no, I've got to run in this scene.
It's a skill that you don't do as an adult.
Adults don't run.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
I want you to retract that. I do not run
like a T-Rex.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Yes, you do.

Speaker 10 (45:02):
No, I don't.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Slightly chickenish.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
When have you ever seen me run?

Speaker 2 (45:06):
You know, I've seen you run.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
When, when, when, when?

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Oh, when we're going somewhere and you say, quick, run. Then.

Speaker 6 (45:13):
Then.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
You're always running for, you know, quick, run.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
You're talking out your hat.

Speaker 13 (45:17):
No.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Remember when we used to make fun of how Bill
Shorten ran in some footage?

Speaker 7 (45:22):
He got upset with us because you said it looked
like he was getting chased by a monster.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
Well, he ran in a flat-footed way.

Speaker 12 (45:27):
He did too.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
In a panicked, flat-footed way.

Speaker 1 (45:29):
Lost in the election.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Not my comments.

Speaker 11 (45:32):
He did.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
He got really upset with us for doing that. Anyway,
away from that.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
Like you did. Look at you saying, how dare he
be upset.

Speaker 7 (45:38):
Take that back.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
If you question men how they run.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
Yeah, well, I wouldn't normally.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Do you think like the centaur, the ad people that
were doing for Kia, they would have had a round
table about this particular, how does the centaur run?

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Because they're not real creatures.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Yeah, but there'd be someone.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
Is there a consensus?

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Someone would say, well, he'd run like this. And someone
would say, well, you run like this. And, oh, he
runs like this. No, enough from you, Gavin.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Enough from you, Jonesy.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
I do not run like this.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
You don't do jazz hands, no.

Speaker 8 (46:08):
No, I don't.

Speaker 7 (46:08):
I run very manly. I reckon this is a whip pole,
if anything.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Let's get it. It's a whip pole.

Speaker 16 (46:15):
What are we going to ask?

Speaker 1 (46:16):
Well, when there's something we have to discuss, the whip
pole is right here. A rapid fire answer.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Centaur arms. How should they use their arms when they run?

Speaker 1 (46:26):
Like down by them side or running like they're in
chariots of fire.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
If you've seen the ad, he looks like he's holding
some stirrups in front of him.

Speaker 7 (46:34):
Yeah, yeah, it looks like he's riding himself.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
Yeah, man's dream.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
We'd love to hear from you. 13, 55, 22, be
a part of the whip poll. How should a centaur run?

Speaker 2 (46:45):
What should it do with its arms?

Speaker 7 (46:46):
Give us a call on Gold.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
On our socials.

Speaker 7 (46:51):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Gold, hello there.

Speaker 7 (46:55):
It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home. We have the
Whip Poll.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
The Whip Poll is an instant snapshot of what Australia
thinks about any given subject, and Amanda and I have
been talking about the Kia ad for the new hybrid,
and it's got a centaur.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
A centaur, and I read a lot of kind of
that fairy porn, as I call it, or fairy smut.
It probably sounds a bit nicer.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
So I'm not alien to the world of unusual combinations.

Speaker 8 (47:22):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Men with bat wings, that kind of thing. Yeah. But
in my imagination, it's different to seeing it. That's not
how I pictured a centaur would run.

Speaker 7 (47:32):
No, with his arms almost Riverdance style to the side.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Or not even the side, clenched in front of him
like he's about to front up for a fight.

Speaker 7 (47:41):
We're just looking at the minotaur. The minotaur.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Yeah, what's that?

Speaker 7 (47:44):
Bullhead.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Human bullhead.

Speaker 7 (47:46):
Torso, body, and then bull legs.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
Designed for a woman.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
No, he's got horse's hooves. No, bull's hooves.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
So really strong calves.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Yeah, big.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
But hands, it's almost like Beauty and the Beast.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Human torso, attractive animal head, and big strong legs.

Speaker 7 (48:05):
For the centaur, you've got Human head, torso.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
And a full horse back end.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
So you've got two torsos.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
So you could sit on, that's right, two, no, yes.
You could ride a centaur.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
So he's got two sets of everything.

Speaker 11 (48:19):
No.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
Well, he's got two hearts.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
He doesn't have human bits hanging off the front.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
No, that'd look weird.

Speaker 6 (48:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:25):
He'd have to wear pants.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
We'd have to work out where the genitals would go,
there or in the horse genital area.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
What about a mermaid? If that's human head.

Speaker 7 (48:35):
Human head, fish body.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Would you care if it was fish head and the
other way around?

Speaker 1 (48:39):
No. The whip hole.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
That's the difference.

Speaker 7 (48:45):
An instant snapshot. Brad has joined us.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Hello, Brad. How do you think a centaur should use
his arms when he's running?

Speaker 9 (48:53):
I think they should be moving pretty loosey-goosey, you know.

Speaker 10 (48:56):
So that's what I'm expecting, you know, when I see
a senator run. Yeah, swinging out, you know.

Speaker 7 (49:01):
Have you seen the ad that we're talking about?

Speaker 9 (49:03):
I have seen the ad.

Speaker 4 (49:04):
It's very weird.

Speaker 7 (49:05):
Yeah, it does look a bit.

Speaker 1 (49:06):
It looks like he's horse riding himself. And I think
the actor's really good and I loved him in the 12.
I think he's really nailed central.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Did you see him in the 12 and think he'd
make a great central?

Speaker 1 (49:13):
He's going to make a good.

Speaker 6 (49:14):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Give him the back end of a horse and he's great.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
He's been working out a bit since he was in
the 12 as well. He had a good rig in
the 12.

Speaker 6 (49:20):
12.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Let's face it. There is some AI involved in turning
him into.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
Half a horse. He's sitting at home with his bench
press going, hang on a minute. Linda has joined us.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Hello, Lindy. How do you think a Centaur should run?

Speaker 5 (49:30):
You guys are so funny.

Speaker 11 (49:34):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (49:35):
When I saw the ad, I thought it was the
weirdest thing.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
It is.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
So unnatural. And I thought that if he was a
real centaur, he would have been pumping those arms and
galloping along beautifully, neck strain. Yeah, no, that was just weird.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Yes, it's made him look unattractive. And most centaurs are
designed to be attractive.

Speaker 7 (49:56):
Has he made centaurs look a bit ick?

Speaker 2 (49:57):
He's given centaurs the ick. So do I feel when
I see you run. To Neil, hello.

Speaker 13 (50:06):
Hello, guys.

Speaker 11 (50:07):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (50:08):
How should a centaur use his arms when he's running?
Everyone's discussing it today.

Speaker 11 (50:13):
If you've got arms, they've got to be moving when
you run. If they didn't want it to look awkward,
they should have just given him the horse body and
no arms.

Speaker 5 (50:21):
Have you ever tried to walk without.

Speaker 11 (50:23):
Swinging your arms? It just looks weird. Your arms must
be swinging.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
It's got to swing.

Speaker 6 (50:27):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Maybe they could have given him something to carry. So
that we wouldn't have needed to see his arms move.
What could he have been carrying while he was running?

Speaker 1 (50:33):
A bow and arrow. A bow and arrow.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
That's why we never, thank you, Brian. That's why we
never see them run because they normally have bow and arrows.

Speaker 7 (50:40):
What centaurs usually have a bow and arrow?

Speaker 1 (50:42):
They do.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:43):
They have a bow and arrow. That's why we don't
normally have this discussion.

Speaker 1 (50:46):
But he might have freaked out the family in the
Kia EV if he had a bow and arrow.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Don't you think they freaked out seeing a half man,
half horse?

Speaker 1 (50:51):
No, they seem to be quite disinterested. It's a problem
with the young generation. Kate, wrap this up.

Speaker 7 (50:58):
Hello, Kate.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
What do you think?

Speaker 11 (51:00):
Well, I don't think there should be arms at all.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
No arms.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
But he can't just have his shoulders and then nothing.

Speaker 15 (51:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
It just looks weird.

Speaker 10 (51:08):
It's like four legs plus then the arms. I agree
with you. What are they meant to do?

Speaker 5 (51:15):
It does look odd.

Speaker 10 (51:15):
Maybe we go with the bow and arrow.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
I think so.

Speaker 7 (51:18):
That's why they came up.

Speaker 10 (51:19):
I think they need to be holding something. Yes.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
That's what the old Greeks. Is he a Greek mythology?

Speaker 2 (51:25):
I think so.

Speaker 6 (51:25):
Something.

Speaker 7 (51:26):
Anyway, when they came up with it, they said give
him something to do with his hands.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Give him something to do with his hands.

Speaker 7 (51:29):
Maybe we should go to Reddit, because Reddit has the
answer for everything.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
What have you asked Reddit?

Speaker 7 (51:34):
Well, that's Brian, or Ryan with a B.

Speaker 9 (51:36):
So they've said, when empty-handed, the senator has a stiff
upper body stance, the human torso will move to follow
the motion of the horse body, much like a rider
on a horse would.

Speaker 7 (51:49):
They've done their research.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Because that's exactly what he does.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Yeah, but it looks weird, doesn't it? It looks like
he's holding stirrups.

Speaker 7 (51:55):
Yeah, or he's riding himself. You don't hold stirrups.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
You put your feet in the stirrups. Didn't you give birth?

Speaker 7 (52:03):
Reigns.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Reigns.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
You're holding the reins, you fool.

Speaker 7 (52:07):
Well, that's for mocking my running smile. Thank you for
all your calls.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Let's get to Instagram, shall we?

Speaker 1 (52:15):
If you would like to play Instagram, 135522 on Gold. Gold,
hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda across Australia driving you
home this last day. Have we confirmed this is the
last day of spring? Winter? What's it called?

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Is today the last day of winter?

Speaker 1 (52:29):
I've mucked that up royally.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
We haven't looked. We haven't looked, no. I think our
team is listening to another radio station.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
People are saying radio's dead because it can't be immediate.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Yes, it is. Today is the last day of winter.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Rightio. Lock it in.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Winter is going. That show.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
It is time.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
You don't come here for information.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
You come here for cash and 10 questions. 60 seconds
on the clock. You can pass if you don't know
an answer. We'll come back to that question if time
permits you get all the questions right. $ 1, 000.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
You can make it $ 2, 000, but it is double or
nothing by answering a bonus question.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Kylie is in Carolyn Springs.

Speaker 2 (53:10):
Hi, Kylie.

Speaker 14 (53:12):
Hello, how are you?

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Great.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Very well, thank you. We've just been discussing centaurs. Do
you think they'd run with their arms clenched in front
or by their side or swinging free?

Speaker 5 (53:25):
Yeah, I think they'll by their side, I think.

Speaker 7 (53:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
Now, by their side. So have you seen the ad
we're talking about?

Speaker 7 (53:31):
You don't mean.

Speaker 2 (53:31):
Straight by their side like a river dancer? No.

Speaker 8 (53:36):
Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 5 (53:37):
Yeah, because they're quite big.

Speaker 7 (53:39):
Aren't they?

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Yeah, it's a horse.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
It's a whole horse. It's a horse. It's got human arms.
It's got four legs and two human arms.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Kylie, you really have got to see the Kia commercial
for us to have this chat. Have you seen the one?
Have you seen what we're talking about?

Speaker 5 (53:53):
No, I haven't yet.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (53:54):
Well, this is your little homework after this. But I'll
say this.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
We've been talking around the typing pool here and they
have a bow and arrow.

Speaker 7 (54:02):
The centaur has a bow. So maybe that's why they
gave them something to do with their hands.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Maybe in that ad he could have been running with
oven mitts and some muffins.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
A Rubik's Cube.

Speaker 2 (54:12):
A Rubik's Cube.

Speaker 7 (54:13):
That'd be a flex centaur running along doing a Rubik's Cube.

Speaker 5 (54:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (54:16):
Kylie.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
Kylie, enough of this. Let's see what we can do
for you. We've got 10 questions. We've got 60 seconds.
If you're not sure, say pass because we might have
time to come back, okay?

Speaker 4 (54:25):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Kylie, here we go. Here's question number one. Name one
primary colour.

Speaker 15 (54:32):
Red.

Speaker 2 (54:33):
Question two. Finish this. You can't teach an old dog
new tricks. Question three, which Disney princess lives under the sea?

Speaker 6 (54:46):
Ariel? Yep.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Question four, poached, fried, scrambled are ways to cook what?

Speaker 6 (54:52):
Eggs.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
Question five, how many points is a goal in AFL?

Speaker 6 (54:57):
Six.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Question six, which singer is famously known as The Boss?

Speaker 10 (55:02):
Bruce Springsteen.

Speaker 2 (55:03):

Speaker 2 (55:08):

Speaker 4 (55:18):
Pass.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Question ten, what's the only mammal that can fly?

Speaker 14 (55:25):
More pass.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Back to seven, Nigeria is a country from which continent?

Speaker 5 (55:29):
Africa.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
Question, yes, that was correct. We still had a few
more to go. What's the chemical symbol for gold? That
is tricky. It's AU.

Speaker 9 (55:37):
AU.

Speaker 6 (55:37):
AU.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Mitch Larkin is known for swimming.

Speaker 13 (55:40):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
And the only mammal that can fly is a bat.

Speaker 10 (55:46):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
There you go.

Speaker 7 (55:48):
So, Kylie, you check out that ad. We want to
hear your thoughts about that because the word around.

Speaker 1 (55:53):
Thank you so much. Okay, let's wrap this up, Kylie.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Well, Kylie hasn't won. She's keen to move on.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
It doesn't matter. The word around the water cooler is
that this centaur is giving centaurs the ick.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
No, it's giving human women the ick.

Speaker 7 (56:06):
Thank you, Kylie.

Speaker 1 (56:07):
If you would like to play the Instagram, you can
always register. JonesyandAmanda.com.au. I just noticed some local news has
come across my desk.

Speaker 7 (56:15):
Well, I can't wait. From Essex.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
I cannot wait.

Speaker 7 (56:18):
We'll have that for you next on Gold.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Gold, hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home.
I've just had some derision from the young people at
the radio station. I brought in my local newspaper and
it was a bit sodden from the dew.

Speaker 7 (56:31):
So I brought it in. I've just been drying it out.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
On my desk.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
How old are you?

Speaker 7 (56:35):
I love reading my local newspaper.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
Are you going to bring your slippers in?

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Because the local newspaper for me, I go straight to
the letters to the editor. Largely, it's kids on e-bikes.
Then it's dogs off leashes. And then someone's elderly relative
who was disorientated.

Speaker 7 (56:51):
Let me guess.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Fell over, and it's a thank you to the strangers
who helped.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
And then they say, you don't see that anymore these days.
But then I would argue, actually, in the paper every week,
someone's helping out everyone.

Speaker 7 (57:02):
So really, yip-yah. So that's pretty much what we have
in there.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
But then I like to look at other local news,
like around the world, like Essex, for example.

Speaker 7 (57:11):
You know, I'm in Essex. And if I go to
my big wall of intros, we've got local news. I'm
just looking.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
I bet you've got one for Essex. You've got one
for everywhere. Yeah, it starts with an E.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
There it is, Brian. Local news happening now in Essex. Locally.
A man left a dog walker distressed after they spotted
him walking around a nature reserve in a compromising position.
I'll let him. This local take up the story.

Speaker 12 (57:44):
A man who put a carrot up his bottom at
an Essex beauty spot has admitted outraging public decency. 49-year-old
Tim Meehan was said to have been on Two Tree
Island near Leon C on March 9th when a dog
walker spotted him. She realised he wasn't wearing any trousers
and shortly afterwards he was seen putting the vegetable in
his bottom. Meehan will return to court later this year

(58:05):
for his sentencing.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
He certainly found the beauty spot.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
The story also said, That he may have been intoxicated.

Speaker 7 (58:14):
Some of the comments.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Some of the comments are hilarious. Was he trying to
tease the rabbit back out? Can't anyone have a hobby nowadays?
At least he didn't have a leak. How else is
he going to get five a day? And someone has said,
absolute woke nonsense. You can't do nothing nowadays.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
It's so woke. So woke.

Speaker 9 (58:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
The defendant did say this outside the court. That's the
local news from Essex. Local news happening now in Essex. Locally.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
That's enough stupidity.

Speaker 7 (58:55):
It is hard to get your five, that food pyramid.

Speaker 15 (58:58):
Righto, you two. That's enough.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
Next we'll be trying to shove that in. Well, we
are back tomorrow for Tin Hat Tuesday. We look forward
to hearing your conspiracy theories.
