Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Jonesy and Amanda Show.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
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 2 (00:20):
Am I going to see Jonesy? And the virile Jonesy.
What a creep.

Speaker 5 (00:23):
I've heard them describe him as a drunken idiot.

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

Speaker 6 (00:28):
Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Out of the way, Toby. Jonesy and Amanda, those are
names that you would never forget.

Speaker 7 (00:33):
It's showtime.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
Well, hello there, Amanda.

Speaker 8 (00:36):
Happy Thursday or Friday, Junior, as we like to say
in the trade.

Speaker 9 (00:40):
Hi.

Speaker 8 (00:41):
Apologies from the get-go of the show. We're supposed to
have special guest Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees on the
show today.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah, we were here. We were ready to zoom in
to him.

Speaker 8 (00:50):
To get in there, but unfortunately, well, according to his management,
he's got an MIA.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Well, we heard he was running a bit late with
some other interviews, so we waited and waited, and then
they said he's... Racked off somewhere.

Speaker 9 (01:00):
He is.

Speaker 8 (01:01):
MIA for that, which is worrisome because he is the
only monkey that's left.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
They're touring next year.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
When I say they, he. He.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
So it might be the, has anyone done a headcount
lately tour?

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I think, look, Mickey's fine.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
I think we've kind of dodged a bullet there.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
See, you're not a fan of the monkeys. But everyone
I spoke to who I said.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
I'm sure they had their time and place.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everyone I spoke to when I said we're going to
be talking to Mickey Dolenz went, wow, really? Because it's
a nostalgia kick. You don't have to love the music.
You don't have to love him. Just enjoy the nostalgia
of it.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
Cheer up, Sleepy Jean.

Speaker 8 (01:34):
I'm happy, okay? I like the monkeys and I wish
he was on the show. If he wants to come
on the show, that's fine. Once his management finds out
where he is.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah, and once they've heard this, not much chance of that.

Speaker 8 (01:45):
I think we'll be okay. We do have an action-packed show.
We don't need Mickey Dolenz. We've got heaps of cool
stuff coming up on the show today.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I want to host a segment today called Why Are
Men Like This?

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Go on. No, that's all I'm going to tell you. Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
I'm metering it out to you. Anita, the podcast I
do with Anita McGregor called Double A Chattery.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
Which drops today.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
A very interesting one about the power of no and
setting up your boundaries. And Anita is a therapist, is
a psychologist, works for a lot of people who have
come from prison, come from other situations where how important
it is to learn to say no. But as women,
how hard we find it.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
I look forward to hearing about that.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'll practice on you.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Instagram as well. And we can't do anything until we
do the Fast Five. Would you like to play?

Speaker 6 (02:29):
No.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
13, 55, 22. Why don't you call us on gold?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Damnation.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Gold. Hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
We're fast in this thing, girl.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
Faster than the.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Speed of light. Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 10 (02:43):
Stop.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
The Fast Five. Five questions. Can you go all the
way and answer all five questions correctly? If you do that,
Amanda might say, where's Mickey Dolenz?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I will.

Speaker 10 (02:53):
No.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
No.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I just hope he's zipped out to have a vape.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
I don't think Mickey should be vaping. No one should
be vaping. It's terrible for you.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Stop pointing the bone at Mickey Dolan.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
I'm worried. He was going to come on our show today.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
He's touring in.

Speaker 8 (03:10):
The middle of next year, so obviously he's.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
In very good health. Of course he is. MIA isn't
a disease. It means missing in action. He's just gone
to buy a sandwich.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Well, didn't anyone put live 360 on him or something? Oh,
come on.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I think he probably said, I can't be bothered. I'm
having a lie down. And they've just said, oh, we
don't know where he is.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
Well, maybe the feeling's mutual, Mickey.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
But.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Oh, Brendan.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
We'll never get.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Him on now.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
The number of interviews we do, the number of things
I listen to, when you talk about box girder bridges
and rudders.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
What about Jason Statham?

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Could he join the Monkees?

Speaker 5 (03:42):
What are you talking about? That was an interview. You
sneered about having Jason Statham.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
No, I didn't. That's a rant.

Speaker 8 (03:50):
I'm just saying that, you know, when it was pitched
to us, when you said, what.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
About Mickey Doles? I'm going to ask Margaret and Ivanhoe. Hello, Margaret.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Hello, Mark.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
If I said to you, hey, we might have Mickey
Dolenz on the show, would you go, wow?

Speaker 10 (04:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
See?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (04:09):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
Margaret's beside herself. Look, I'm just saying, Mickey's free to
come on the show. You don't have.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
To be a major Monkees fan to go, wow, Mickey Dolenz.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
What's your favourite Monkees song, Margaret?

Speaker 7 (04:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
I don't have one.

Speaker 10 (04:27):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
No, but you might like them from their TV show, Brendan.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Do you remember their TV show, Margaret? I do.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
I don't remember the name of it, but I do
remember it.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Thank you, Margaret.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
What's it called?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
It's called The Monkees, was it? Brendan, what's wrong with you? Margaret,
here's question number one. I can't tolerate Brendan Jones today.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
It's a high chair.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Come on. Well, look, they're also, Mickey's probably with a
record company who probably might have offered us Jason Statham
and now they're going to go, you know what?

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Why would the record company offer us Jason Statham?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, you seem to think he's about to join the monkeys.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
People say we monkey around, Margaret, but no more of that.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Here's a question, Margaret. Which subculture does this describe? Hair,
styled back using pomade. Clothing, typically wool leather, motorcycle jacket. Culture,
associated with rock and roll music, motorcycles and hot rod cars.
What subculture is that?

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Greasers. Greasers.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, the greasers. The greasers.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
You see them in Japan. Have you seen those rockabilly
greasers in Japan?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yes, I have, at Harajuku Park.

Speaker 11 (05:36):
Really?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Is that where they hang? And they just get down
low and they dance around?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, they dance to the monkeys and everyone loves it, Brendan.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
I don't think greasers would be into the monkeys, just frankly.

Speaker 9 (05:46):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Let's play Cover Me.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
Cover me.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Cover me.

Speaker 10 (05:51):
Cover me.

Speaker 7 (05:51):
I got you covered, boss.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Margaret, this is a cover, a metal cover, of which song?

Speaker 9 (06:08):
Margaret?

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Mark.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Are you there, Margaret?

Speaker 12 (06:14):
Yes, I am.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Do you know the song?

Speaker 11 (06:17):
I've got no idea.

Speaker 8 (06:18):
135522 is our number. Stop looking at me like that.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Who's your favourite musician, Brendan?

Speaker 5 (06:26):
In the world?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, in the world. Who would you love to interview?
Don't take too long.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Oh, no, it's a bit quick. Can I think about it?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, no, just a very quick answer right now. Come on.
Who's one of your favourite? Who would you like to interview?
Just quickly.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Oh, Billy Joel. We've interviewed him.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Well, say if Billy Joel is with the same record
company as Mickey Dolenz, who's heard what you've said.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
We're never going to get Billy now.

Speaker 8 (06:48):
I can assure you, Billy Joel is not with the
same record companies.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh, come on.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I'd like to see this record company's roster.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Why don't you just dig a deeper hole?

Speaker 8 (06:56):
I will, and I'm happy to be in this hole
and enjoy myself.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
$ 13. 55, $ 22 on gold. Jam Nation.

Speaker 7 (07:04):
Gold.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
Hello there.

Speaker 8 (07:05):
It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home, and we are
into the Fast Five.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
How fast can this thing go?

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Faster than the speed of light. Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 9 (07:14):
Fast.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
We're up to question two, which is cover me.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
Cover me.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
Cover me.

Speaker 8 (07:20):
Cover me.

Speaker 7 (07:22):
I got you covered, boss.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Hello, Brad in Taylors Hill. How are you? Oh, well,
thank you.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
Yourself?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Very well.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
If I was to say to you, hey, we might
have Mickey Dolenz on the show, would you go wow
or boo?

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Oh, I'd say wow.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yes, of course you would.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
There you go, of course.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Most normal people would.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
What's your favourite monkey song, Brad?

Speaker 2 (07:38):
It's not about that.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh.

Speaker 12 (07:39):
Probably Hey, Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
You're happy with that, Brendan?

Speaker 8 (07:43):
Quite the catalogue there. Didn't want to go with anyone else.
Daydream Believer or Last Train to Clarksville.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
They're all good, mate. They're all good. They're all good.
I have no beef with the Monkees.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Sounds like you do.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
I have no beef with the Monkees.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
We're playing Cover Me, Brad. This is a metal cover
of which song?

Speaker 8 (07:57):
Hello from the other side.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
I must have.

Speaker 8 (08:02):
Come a thousand times to tell you I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
Brought to you by Soothers.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Any idea?

Speaker 7 (08:12):
Sounds like hello.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 8 (08:16):
Hello from the other side. Which Norwegian word describes the
best or the simple joy of sitting outside on a
sunny day.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Enjoying a beer?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Give us the options.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Excuse my Norwegian. A. Utepils. B. Paleg. Or C. Korslig.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh, I'm not too good on Norwegian.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
I'd say C.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's not koselig. Koselig is a deep sense of coziness,
warmth and intimacy. Ooh. So, sorry, Brad.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Debbie's in Mulgrave.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Hi, Debbie.

Speaker 11 (08:53):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Which Norwegian word describes the simple joy of sitting outside
on a sunny day enjoying a beer? Is it A, uterblit,
or B, peleg?

Speaker 7 (09:05):
I'm going to take a stab and go A.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
It is A.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Because B is a deep, no.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
What's B?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
B is any food item put on top of a
slice of bread.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
Oh, nice.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
It'd probably be fish, I would imagine. That's what a
palet leg is.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
But yes, Utileps is that wonderful joy of the spring
in the air and you're sitting outside having a beer.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
There's nothing better than that.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Not even a Mickey Dolan concert, Brendan?

Speaker 5 (09:28):
You know, I would love to be sitting in a
beer garden because I know there'd be space. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Why do you do this? I'm going to out you
and say you say this about the Beatles as well.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
I don't say that.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
You said, that's me dad's music. You used to say that.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
This is very ugly.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
No, but as a music lover, you cannot afford to
do this.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
I appreciate the Beatles. I love all the music.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
And what about the monkeys?

Speaker 8 (09:53):
You know, Lieutenant Frank Trebon, famously played by Leslie Nielsen,
is the main character of which film series, Debbie?

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Naked Gun?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Naked Gun, which brings you to question five.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Excuse me, can I just ask, why is this your
hill to die on, the monkeys? Why all of a sudden?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
I find you surprisingly uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
The guy stood us up on our show.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, but we've been stood up by better people than you.

Speaker 8 (10:15):
I would say he's in a position where he probably
needs to, you know, Not stand up a.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
National radio show. I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I just think you're being ungracious to the memories and
the nostalgia that a lot of people have for the monkeys.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
I have no beef with that.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
There's a lot of beef. Sounds like you're going full
meat on it.

Speaker 10 (10:32):
What?

Speaker 5 (10:34):
Debbie.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Hey there, Debbie.

Speaker 9 (10:37):
I am.

Speaker 10 (10:38):
Hello.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
You're scaring. Amanda's scaring, Debbie.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
This is question five.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
What was the name? This is for the $ 250 Bunnings voucher.

Speaker 8 (10:45):
What was the name of the TV series that launched
Steve Irwin to international fame?

Speaker 5 (10:50):
The Crocodile Hunter.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
You've done it, Dick.

Speaker 8 (10:53):
Did you watch that documentary last night? Goodness me, that
was so emotional. And it's been 20 years. Tomorrow is
the anniversary of Steve Irwin's death.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
20 years. Can you believe it?

Speaker 8 (11:04):
It's worth watching this documentary, but there was a, I'll
play it for you a bit later. It was quite stirring,
his final moments.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Which have never really been revealed, have they?

Speaker 5 (11:15):
No, but it's very harrowing.

Speaker 8 (11:17):
But at the same time, as Charles Woolley said in
the documentary, it takes 20 years to miss someone as
much as you have with Steve.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
And Steve was such a great guy.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
He was. And also Australia Zoo is still going and
his face is on it and people still love him.
20 years on, he's still the icon.

Speaker 8 (11:34):
Debbie, back to you. Congratulations, you've won the jam pack.
You have a $ 250 Bunnings voucher. Happy Father's Day for Sunday.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 11 (11:42):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Thanks, Debbie.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
If you'd like to be a part of the Fast Five, jonesydamanda.com.au.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Coming up, we spoke on this show about Oreo Gate.
I have some follow-up information.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Indeed.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
That's coming up on Gold.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
See a whole lot more of Jonesy and Amanda on
our socials.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Gold, hello there.

Speaker 8 (12:02):
It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home. How are you going?
It was an emotional day yesterday. You publicly announced.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
That your dog of 14 years Little Minnie.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
She's still with us.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Of course. She's got lymphoma.

Speaker 8 (12:14):
I know she's still with you because a woman's day
I've come out saying, and it looks like she's passed away.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, no, no, no. She's still with us.

Speaker 8 (12:19):
And this is a bit of a problem when you
talk about this stuff. But having said that, if you
don't talk about it, when do you talk about it?
So it's very brave of you to be so vulnerable
about this.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, I took a lot from, you know how I
was crying over a dog I hadn't met, Simon.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
And he lives in New York. He crossed the rainbow bridges,
they said, just about a month or two months ago.
And his owner. who fosters a lot of dogs, but
that was her permanent dog, spoke so eloquently about the grief.
And it made other people feel that it's okay to
feel the grief. And that's what's happened. We've been flooded,
and I love it, with people's photos of their pets,

(12:53):
people talking about their pets, people still crying four years
later at the loss of their pets. It gives us
all a chance to talk about how pointy and sharp
and horrible it feels, despite knowing that the dogs have
had great lives and our rational brain knows that this
is The circle of life, it's still so hard.

Speaker 8 (13:13):
On our Facebook page, we have been inundated. Antoinette, you know,
and they're sending pictures. They're little poochies. I'm so sorry,
writes Antoinette. I feel every word you said. We just
lost my beautiful Shelty Kesha three weeks ago. She was
14 and a half. But look at the little picture
of her. She's such a sweet dog. And Karen, this

(13:34):
is Trixie. In two weeks, she's going to be 15.
Little Trixie's face, beautiful looking dog. And Trixie's still with us.
And that's the problem with dogs, I guess. They just don't,
they're not going to outlive us.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
No.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
And lots of people at the pointy end. Someone here,
where are we? This is, oh, I've lost it now.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
Well, how about I wrap it up with this?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
No, no, no, no, no. I've got another one. I've
got another one. This is the one. It was Mandy
who said our 14-year-old girl, is spending her last days
with us. We've made the difficult decision to put her
to sleep later this week. So many people are in
the drop zone of going through exactly what I'm going through.
And Chris Brown has said, sweet Minnie knows and feels
your love, but the biggest blessing is she doesn't know

(14:20):
she has lymphoma. She only feels the lifetime of endless love.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
That's a good thing that Brownie said.

Speaker 8 (14:26):
And Sharon, along those lines, has written, every animal finds
a place in your heart and eventually takes a piece
out when they leave us.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
Thinking of your family, Amanda, Minnie will let you know
when it is time to leave you. And it won't
be easy, but she knows you loved her and she.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
Loved you and the family.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Thank you, everyone.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Gold, hello there.

Speaker 8 (14:51):
It's Jonesy and Amanda across Australia driving you home. At
the start of the week, we spoke about Oreo Gate.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Everyone was talking about Oreo Gate. Now, Oreo Gate, you
may be wondering what the hell we're talking about now
if you didn't see this story. This went viral. It
was a WhatsApp parents group or a mum's group that
were discussing school lunches. One mother, this is obviously in America,
one mother said, hey, can you not put Oreos in
my daughter? She's not allergic. but I just don't want
her to be around those kind of biscuits and she

(15:19):
gets jealous because you've all got them. And it went viral.
People made memes and T-shirts. It was turned into a song.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Hi, everyone.

Speaker 10 (15:27):
Sorry, slightly awkward one, but could we maybe agree on
some basic rules around lunch boxes?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Is this about allergies? No, nothing allergy related.

Speaker 10 (15:37):
Ava came home really upset yesterday because one of the
girls had Oreos in her lunch.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Oh, why was she upset?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
We don't allow that.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Kind of thing at home, so obviously she wanted them
when she saw someone else eating them.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Oh, okay. This went on and on.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
And then it escalated.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (15:57):
They're already in the lunchbox, Michelle.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
Once it's packed, it's done.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
It led to a lot of discussions on this show
as well about the overreach of some parents, the idea
that you can't teach your child, other people have things
that they can't have and that's what life is, et cetera,
et cetera. Oreos flew off the shelves. At the time.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Did they fly off the shelves?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Well, I remember you saying, Brendan, this sounds like an
Oreo prank.

Speaker 8 (16:32):
Yeah, I did feel that. But I didn't want the
truth to get in the way of a good story.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Well, it's not an Oreo prank. It's not an Oreo prank.
But it is a prank. It is fake. But it's
not from the Oreo people. It's the people who have
the AI music generation app. that turns these kinds of
conversations into songs. There's other ones around too about people
who are trying to get out of a guy's bedroom
because his girlfriend's just arrived and all these conversations. Oh,

(17:00):
my God, what am I going to do here?

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Run, Michelle, run.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
All that stuff has been turned into songs.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
And that's a group who do that called Suno. So
this apparently has been put together by– the people who
created all of this in a paid partnership with Suno.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
But not Oreo.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Not Oreo.

Speaker 8 (17:17):
So Oreo, they're just grist for the mill.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
They're grist for the mill.

Speaker 8 (17:21):
We should get some of our group chats, the Jonesy
and Amanda group chats.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Do your thing and put them to a song.

Speaker 5 (17:28):
Put them to a song.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
But then we'd be supporting Suno. And do we want
to do that, Brendan?

Speaker 5 (17:32):
I have no beef with Suno. What's your beef with Suno?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, they led us on this merry trail.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah, well, they were in the business.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
If something smells dodgy, it is. There's a good chance.
There's a good chance it is.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
There's nothing dodgy about AA Chattery. That drops today.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, Anita and I are discussing how hard it is
to say no.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
We'll talk about that next on Gold.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Amanda Podcast. now by
the miracle of recording. Josie and Amanda. We're doing it on!

Speaker 5 (18:01):
Josie and Amanda, those are two great names.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Such a scam.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
I'm not a scam.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Dents the chemistry between them, but how much of that
is real?

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Mind your own business and shut your pie hole.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
I wish you well with your show.

Speaker 8 (18:10):
The big discussion is Oreo Gate. We dined out on
it during the week.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Excuse the pun.

Speaker 5 (18:15):
A mother's group on chat. No, what is it? On WhatsApp?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
On WhatsApp. Discussing how one of the mothers says, hey,
you know what? My daughter's not allergic, but I'd rather
you didn't put Oreos in your kids' lunchboxes because my
daughter gets jealous.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
And it was put to music. Hi, everyone.

Speaker 10 (18:29):
Sorry, slightly awkward one, but could we maybe agree on
some basic rules around lunchboxes?

Speaker 7 (18:34):
Oh!

Speaker 5 (18:36):
And little Ava is upset because all the other kids
are getting Oreos.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
But it starts a whole social commentary, and we bought
into it too, which isn't a bad conversation to have anyway,
about rules around you can't dictate other people's, A, lunch boxes, B,
decisions around their children, and you have to teach your
kids there's going to be things in life that they
can't have.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
But this is all a hoax, apparently. Not the Oreo people.

Speaker 8 (19:01):
But a paid partner of Suno, which is an AI
music generation app.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
That does the music.

Speaker 8 (19:06):
And I was just going through my phone looking at
some of the chats that we have on your and
my WhatsApp chat.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Welcome to music, Brendan.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
We could, but I'm just seeing if we can get
the Suno app and I've given it to Digital Jenna.

Speaker 8 (19:18):
But this is a fair dinkum chat that you and
I had regarding the Bruce Lehman case. So who's who?
So this is you texting me. The Lehrman result is
being read out live on SMH. And I put SMH.
And you write, look online. No, I was saying SMH.

(19:39):
You know, do I? Shake my head.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
See, it's ironic. God, you've become a youth.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
I think that was me saying, God, you've become a youth.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
SMH. I'm doing it now.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
I've never heard of shake my head and you've never
ever used it.

Speaker 5 (19:52):
You've never heard of SMH?

Speaker 7 (19:53):
No.

Speaker 5 (19:54):
WTF? Everyone's heard that.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
FML. I know some of them.

Speaker 8 (19:59):
That'll give something for Digital Jetta to do instead of
slacking off to the pub on a Thursday.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
Like she usually does.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Like she always does.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
She does. She's straight out here on Thursday. Off she goes.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Coming up next, Anita McGregor, my forensic psychologist friend, and
I discuss how hard it is to say no.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
That's coming up on Gold. Gold, hello there.

Speaker 8 (20:19):
It's Jonesy Demander driving you home. Thursday is a great day.
Not only is it Friday Junior, but AA Chattery DAC
drops today.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Anita and I spoke a few weeks ago.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Your forensic psychologist friend, Anita McGregor.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
And there's a... A colleague she has who is called
someone who works with lived experience. So she works in
the field of forensic psychology.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Can I just ask one question?

Speaker 10 (20:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
When you're talking about, because she's got those colleagues, do
you talk about me as your colleague?

Speaker 5 (20:46):
So when you're gathered around.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Yeah, sure. I think you should hear the time calls
these stuff up. It's quite extraordinary. Of course I talk
about you. Of course I talk about my life. Sure, sure.
But she has this colleague who, a lived experience person
in her field, means this is someone who themselves has
has experience of mental health issues. They, in fact, had
ended up in prison. They are out of prison and

(21:11):
are now to the point, they're rehabilitated to the point
where he is working within the forensic psychology department to
help be a gateway with people who are going through
this whole system and saying, I was where you are.
Let me help you. So his name was Andrew, and
we spoke to him on one.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
Of our podcasts recently. Yeah, we spoke to him last time.
We touched on this last time.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
That's right, and one of the things he said, was
how hard it was coming out of prison and learning
the art of saying no. And Anita says she works
with so many of her clients about this, is coming
out of any situation where you can easily step back
in if you have even family members who won't help

(21:52):
you They may be your old associations that make you drink,
do illegal behavior, whatever it is. The things that aren't
healthy for your mental health and your well-being and your legalities,
you have to actually delete them from your phone, et cetera,
et cetera. She's watched people go through all of this.
And a big thing is about learning boundaries and learning
to say no. And we got into a bigger discussion

(22:14):
about why it's hard for all of us, but particularly women,
to say no. And when she had heard Kristen Bell,
you know the actress?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Kristen Bell, she sings the theme song for Frozen. She's
this fabulous comedic actress as well. She was talking to
a psychologist who has a podcast and she was talking
about how hard she finds it to be assertive because
she's a giant people pleaser.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
I was on a flight.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
I'm from Nashville.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
And I was like, can I grab a cup of
coffee before we land?

Speaker 12 (22:39):
And she said, do you want cream?

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I was like, yeah, a little.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
She brings me back a coffee and it's half coffee.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Half cream. It was a cup of milk.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
And so I chugged the coffee and then I was like,
I'm going to go to the restroom. And I said,
can I get one more cup of coffee? And I
get out of my seat and my mind is going,
tell her you don't want two creams. Tell her you
do not want two creams.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Just say one cream, please.

Speaker 12 (22:58):
Just say one cream. Go to the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Just say one cream.

Speaker 4 (23:01):
Just say one cream.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Go to the bathroom.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
I was like, go.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
In the bathroom. Just tell her one cream. Just say
one cream.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
It's not going to make a difference.

Speaker 12 (23:12):
She comes out.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
She's like, same way. I'm like, yeah, And what's interesting
about this is I'm the same. As a people pleaser,
you think you're making life easier for everyone else because
you don't want to not be liked. You don't want
people to say what a difficult person they are. But
what it actually is is a form of control. That's
what they were discussing on that podcast. Because you're assuming

(23:33):
someone else's emotions can be controlled by you. So we
went into this big discussion about how hard it is,
particularly for women, to say no. And Anita has some
thoughts on why that's so.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
I think that we're wired for social approval. We are
wired to avoid conflict.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
As women.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
And I think that, you know, that, you know, and
also that idea that we're the helper, we're the nurturer.
And so in that, that we tend to have much
looser boundaries about what we're willing to say yes to.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
And do you find that, Brendan, like, you don't have
trouble saying no, do you? Oh, I do.

Speaker 11 (24:14):
No, I do.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
And I'm sometimes envious of the strength with which you say, no,
I've made up my mind. That's a very good way
to be.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
If I don't want to do something, I don't want
to do it.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
No, and you'll say that. You'll say it directly.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
That people ask me to host, and I hate hosting stuff.
I just hate it. Like, I like doing this. But
I just hate hosting stuff. I hate standing in front
of people and hosting stuff. I hate it.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Do you ever have trouble saying no?

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (24:36):
No, no.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
It depends what it is. That doesn't mean I'm shut
off to it.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
No, but you might have trouble saying no socially.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
Because I've done that.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
I've done that for a long– and when I was
a young person, when I used to host weddings and
stuff as a DJ, every Saturday night was– and the
anxiety of leading up to it.

Speaker 9 (24:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
You've got to get this. You've got to talk to
this person.

Speaker 8 (24:53):
And when you get there, what I always hate is
someone says, yeah, mate, you know what to do. You
just talk for five minutes. You go, no, it's not
that easy.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
I don't know who this is. I don't know who
that is.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
But you're good at saying no to it. I say
yes to it and then I get resentful.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
And then you curse it and then you hate it.
But then I get resentful.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Rather than just being strong from the very beginning. And
that's what you need to be is know your boundaries.
Anita has a colleague who has an interesting solution.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
I was having a conversation with a colleague, a younger colleague,
a couple of weeks ago. And in her professional life,
the thing that rings through her head when she's asked
something is, what would a white man do?

Speaker 5 (25:29):
Oh, wow.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
That's good too.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
I was like, oh, that's kind of an interesting approach.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
What would a white man do? And it gives you
the strength to go. Say no. And to say no.
And people respect you if you give a clean answer.
rather than fudging it. And this is the thing that
I found interesting. Anita said, what might help is knowing
the difference between boundaries and limits and where you draw
the line.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
One of the things that has been helpful for me
in understanding about no is a difference between boundaries and limits.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Oh, tell me what that means.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
So a boundary is, you know, that you shall not cross.
You shall not cross this path. A boundary might be.
You know, in a marriage, you don't cheat on me.
If you cheat on me, it's over. That would be
a boundary. That would be a hard boundary. Whereas a
limit is something that has a bit more flexibility to it.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Cheat on me, but only with three people. But the
difference between a boundary and a limit, and Anita said,
if you're going into a situation, if you know the
difference for you, if you're asked to do something or something's,
you know, being required of you, if you know it's
a boundary, that that's strict, you stick to that. If
it's a limit, you can be loosey-goosey around it and

(26:45):
that means, okay, I will negotiate on this part but
this thing here I'm strong about and that way you
don't give mixed messages. You don't get all woolly and
give other people the impression that makes things harder for
you and you don't end up being resented or resentful
because you've been straight from the start.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
This is good. I've got to go home with a
list of boundaries and limits.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
Double A Chattery drops today. Get it when you get
all your podcasts.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
The iHeartRadio app, that's a good place, or doubleachattery.com.au.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Coming up next. Now, I know we're just talking about
men being better at certain things, but there's one thing
men do that drive women crazy, and it's not something saucy, Brendan.
I'd like to call this segment, Why Are Men Like This?

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
We'll talk about it next.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
On gold. Jam Nation.

Speaker 9 (27:32):
Gold.

Speaker 8 (27:32):
Hello, it's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this Thursday afternoon.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
I thought this was just something that my husband did,
but apparently it's kind of universal. I'd be intrigued to
know what you think. I saw this account online when
someone says, I know I'm not the only one. Our
friend Steph has also observed the phenomenon of men doing
random stuff when you're trying to do important stuff, like

(27:57):
go to the airport, host guests, or have a baby.
She's talked to psychologists who say it's to do with
stress management and control. But the comments, the people uploading
their own stories. Yesterday was hectic. I had a hospital
appointment in town. I did a supermarket shop and had
to tidy the house and cook dinner for friends coming
that evening. As I was prepping the chicken, my husband

(28:18):
insisted I stop and look at a short list of
football boots for our son.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah, what's wrong with that?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Me. Our guests are arriving in under two hours. Can
you lay the table? Sure. And look at the picture,
Wellington boots and things all over the table. Sure, I'll
do it as soon as I've put all these muddy
wellies and this portable urinal gourd on the table and
then simply walk away.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
A portable urinal gourd?

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Who would know? And she said, after that, he insisted
on tightening the screws on all the chairs, a solution
nobody asked him to provide for a problem nobody noticed.
Neither of us have literally ever done this before.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
I've done it.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
And guests are about to come to the door. Then
finally she said he did lay the table, but only
for six and there were seven of us. She said,
never mind, I'll eat with my hands. I remember once
we were having people coming over.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Women are so demanding.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
We had people coming over and the path to our house,
on a steep path to get to our house at
the time, and 20 minutes before they were arriving, Harley
decided he'd clean out the gutters and was just throwing
stuff from the gutter onto the path where everyone would
be walking up. So not only was he not helping me,
he was the opposite of useful by making this huge

(29:28):
mess out the front of the house that people were
about to walk through. Jacinda, our showrunner here, executive producer,
I've asked her to type out because this story is
so funny. While the rest of the family were opening
presents on Christmas morning, my father had other priorities. He'd
jump on the ride on mower and start mowing our
two acre property It was always bone dry, so he'd

(29:48):
create a massive dust storm that drifted straight towards the house.
Mum had usually just finished her annual Christmas deep clean
and had set up tables outside with tablecloths and things.
So the fresh, clean home disappeared behind a cloud of dirt,
sending her into a rage every Christmas morning. He could
have done it the week before, could have done it
the week after, did it that morning.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
I don't know why.

Speaker 10 (30:10):
Why?

Speaker 5 (30:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (30:11):
And I've done it. I've done it many times. One
that always stands up, my wife will always bring it up.
We're off on our way. We're going to a wedding.
We've come back home.

Speaker 5 (30:21):
For this wedding. I've noticed the radiator. What do you mean,
come back home?

Speaker 8 (30:24):
I was living in another place. We've come back to
Sydney for a wedding. We've driven the car. I've noticed
the car's dripping water out of the radiator. And I'm
talking to a mate and he goes, you know what
you do? Take it to these guys down there and
they can fix it. and it'll be done before you
have to go tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Okay, because it's Saturday.

Speaker 8 (30:42):
So I'm in the wedding suit. I'm not a big
part of this wedding. I'm just like in the wedding suit.
It's close friends, but I'm not in the wedding part.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Right.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
But then I've gone and I'm pulling. And I said, really,
we're going to pull the radiator out? He goes, yeah,
let's just do it.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
So you helped him pull a radiator out?

Speaker 5 (30:57):
Out of my own car. And, you know, I know
how to do it, but Helen walked out and said,
what are you doing? I said, well, we've got to
get this radiator sorted out.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Oh, okay. I'm stressed and I wasn't even there.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
I'll say this.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
What will you say?

Speaker 5 (31:08):
All sorted. Got the radiator.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
How was your suit?

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Pretty good. Pretty good.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
And your hands?

Speaker 8 (31:14):
It was an old school HZ Kingswood, so not hard
to pull the radiator out. Not like the modern cars
with all the plastic.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Were your hands covered in mink?

Speaker 5 (31:20):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Dirty fingernails, all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Yeah, there was a bit of mink. So there was
a bit of glorying at me.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yes, funny about that. Look, tell us that we're not alone.
The tribal drum is going to beat for why are
men like this?

Speaker 5 (31:32):
13, 55, 22.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
When there's something important to be done, why do they
find random garbage to do?

Speaker 8 (31:40):
I think she appreciated when we were driving back home
in a nicely air-conditioned car.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Sure, Brenda, sure.

Speaker 8 (31:47):
Give us a call.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
135522 on Gold.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Listen to the podcast whenever you want with the free
iHeart app.

Speaker 5 (31:55):
Gold, hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home.
I don't know why we do it. We just do it.
I guess men, you know, largely get stuff done.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
No, but it's not that. This is a different thing.
The topic today is why men like this, and we're
drilling down on why men insist on doing random stuff
in high-pressure situations. examples of you've got people coming over,
you're really busy, can you help me do this? Suddenly
they're out the back pruning a bush that no one
has ever pruned in the history of that bush being alive.

(32:25):
And a psychologist has said it's to do with stress
management and control. So to women it looks like, why
are you doing this random stuff? Maybe men don't even
know why they're doing it, but this gives them some,
this is how their.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
Attention is released. It's not even random.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Well, why would Harley go on a roof? to decide
that's the time to clear the gutters on the path
that our guests are about to walk up. He's not
sort of strewing little leaves at a wedding. It's mank
and funnel webs on top.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
Of where people are about to go. Did he sweep
it up? No, I did.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
He did the half job. It's like this man, this
woman has said, her husband said, can you get the
table ready? Instead he's put Wellington boots.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
So he's made it worse.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
And she said in a portable urinal gourd on the table.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
So it's the opposite of helpful.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
It's the opposite of helpful.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
The tribal drummer's beating for this. Why are men like this?
Do you mean great?

Speaker 2 (33:16):
The opposite of helpful.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
Helen has joined us.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Hello, Helen. Tell us about what happens in your house.

Speaker 7 (33:20):
Hello.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
Mine isn't actually random, but every time I'm about to
do some cooking, he's going to make his coffee. The
coffee doesn't happen for a while, so I get up,
start cooking. That's when he goes in there and makes
his coffee. And I'm like, couldn't you have done that earlier?
Why do you wait till I'm in the kitchen and
then you're in there? And I've got another example where
having people over, usually family, and 10 minutes before they're

(33:45):
about to come over, he decides to sweep and pull
out the weeds.

Speaker 7 (33:49):
And I'm like, why didn't you do this earlier? We've
known for ages.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Yes, that's right. It's interesting, isn't it? And does it
make it more understandable for you if we hear that
the psychologist has said it is kind of a way
of controlling stress?

Speaker 7 (34:03):
No, because it's more stressful for me.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
It is.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
That's right. It's the opposite of helpful and it makes
more stress for us. You're quite right.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
I just like the idea of Harley just getting all
the leaves out of the garden.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
And funnel webs. And funnel webs.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Putting them on and then just walking away from them.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Yeah, and then sort of getting distracted and probably having
to go and put some Wellington boots and a urinal
gourd on a table somewhere else.

Speaker 5 (34:21):
Thank you, Helen. Jules has joined us.

Speaker 9 (34:23):
Hello, Jules.

Speaker 11 (34:24):
How are you going?

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Tell us what happens in your house.

Speaker 11 (34:27):
Well, this was nearly 40 years ago on my wedding
day and we were up in Broome and the best
man used to have a deal with a concrete driver
that if there was any concrete left over for a
slab of beer, he'd get the leftovers and it would
help him build his house. So, of course, he gets
the call maybe an hour before the wedding that there's
some concrete going spare and he's going, yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Come on, bring it over.

Speaker 11 (34:49):
So they've laid a washing line. right before they're supposed
to be getting ready for the wedding. And I had
like five minutes to get ready because I had to
wait for them to all shower before I could get ready.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
So this is your husband-to-be as well as his mate?

Speaker 11 (35:05):
Yes, all the groomsmen were out there laying concrete.

Speaker 5 (35:08):
So how much concrete are we talking about? How many metres?

Speaker 11 (35:12):
Probably only, you're asking me to be a brickie now,
I don't know, just enough for a washing line, like
a patio area.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 11 (35:20):
But enough to, you know, enough.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
So a cubic, maybe a cubic.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Does it make a difference, Brendan? Does it make a difference?

Speaker 5 (35:27):
It does, because if concrete's going off.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, but you can say, maybe not this time. Thank
you so much, but we're all getting ready for a wedding.

Speaker 5 (35:33):
You don't see what happens here.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
And Jules said she has a shower five minutes before
her own wedding.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
But concrete. Waits for no man nor woman.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
But say, no, I won't take this badge.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
Thank you. But if you've got it in the mixer
in the truck ready to go.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yeah, but it's left over. They said left over. Let
it go. Let it go to someone else.

Speaker 5 (35:47):
No, because it's not going to go to someone else.
It'll just go to waste.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Then let it go to waste. It's a wedding day. No, no, no, no, no.
I'm going to take more of your calls. Why are
men like this?

Speaker 6 (35:54):
13, 55, 22.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
On gold.

Speaker 7 (35:55):
Jack.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
Gold, good afternoon to you. It's Thursday afternoon.

Speaker 8 (36:00):
Jonesy and Amanda driving you home and the tribal drum
is beating.

Speaker 5 (36:04):
Why are men like this? Because we're capable. We get
stuff done.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
It's just the wrong stuff at the wrong time.

Speaker 8 (36:12):
According to you, but if a radiator and a car
needs to be changed before the wedding, someone's got to
do it. If you've got concrete that's going off in
the cement mixer, it's got to be dispersed.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Even on your wedding day.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
If you have guests coming over and you say, can
you lay the table? And someone puts Wellington boots and
some old kind of, urinal on the table and walks away.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
What task is that?

Speaker 5 (36:39):
I don't know what that's about. No, I know.

Speaker 9 (36:40):
No one knows.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
I don't know what that's about. If you say, can
you help me get ready because people are coming over,
and you prune a bush in the back of the
garden that no one has ever asked to be pruned.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
Are you talking about you?

Speaker 2 (36:51):
No, I'm talking about these are things people have sent in.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
And psychologists say it's stress management and control. It is
a thing. It is a thing.

Speaker 8 (36:58):
I think you're just jazzed because you're a husband, Harley,
when you're having people come around.

Speaker 9 (37:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (37:04):
No doubt there would have been some hoity-toity types coming around.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Oh, come on.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
For a big feed of spaghetti. There he is.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
And he's up on the roof throwing leaves, sticks, funnel
webs from the roof onto the path where they're all
about to walk in. He could have done it any time.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
And then he didn't sweep it up. He just walked away.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
No, that's right. Half a job.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
Kathy has joined us.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Hello, Kathy. Why are men like this?

Speaker 9 (37:29):
Hello.

Speaker 7 (37:30):
Nice to talk to you.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
You too.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
What's happened?

Speaker 7 (37:34):
By the way, Amanda, just grab a blower. It's easier
than a broom.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
Actually, that's true. Put up his bum.

Speaker 7 (37:40):
Look, I don't need to know what you do when
you're not on air. This isn't fantastically important like the
other things, but my husband, hello, Jim, if you're listening,
if I'm watching something on my iPad and he's watching
something on the TV, we're both in the same room
but separate. And as soon as I put my earphones in,

(38:02):
my earpods, he'll start to talk to me about what
he's watching. But he hasn't said anything before that.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
You know what?

Speaker 8 (38:11):
My wife does that. My wife will be as quiet
as a church mouse. And as soon as I put
on my little earpods. all of a sudden wants to
have a chat.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
No, this is about men, Brendan.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
Yeah, but I think this is universal.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
No, I don't know. I think that's a very male thing.
Thank you, Cathy.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
Trish has joined us.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Hello, Trish. What does he do?

Speaker 12 (38:30):
Hi there, Jonesy and Amanda. Look, there's quite a few
things he really annoys me with, but number one would
be having to take that shower just, you know, five minutes,
ten minutes before the guests are going to arrive.

Speaker 9 (38:41):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
When you've already cleaned the bathroom and done all of that.

Speaker 12 (38:44):
He's had all morning to do all the things, but,
you know, the showering has to be done or as
we're just about to go out. Oh, I'll have my
shower now. Yes, we're leaving in 10 minutes.

Speaker 5 (38:54):
My kids do that.

Speaker 8 (38:56):
If I've got to move something like, hey, mate, we're
going to have to move this fridge, my youngest goes
to the toilet and I don't see him for 20 minutes.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
But also, but that one, because you've got guests coming
over the steam, you can't clean the bathroom.

Speaker 9 (39:08):
It just.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
You know, oh, oh, thank you.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (39:14):
Coming up, the pup test. This is an interesting chat
that we had. Cold calling your friends. Does it pass
the pup test? Have we come to that point now
when you just can't ring a friend anymore?

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Well, you have to text them and say, can I
call you?

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Well, talk about that. Instagram makes its return as well
on gold.

Speaker 3 (39:28):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Amanda podcast.

Speaker 8 (39:31):
We had so many requests for them to do it again.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
Jonesy and Amanda. Amanda, she just cracks me up. Maybe
we should lay off the moonshine.

Speaker 11 (39:40):
Jonesy's always knocking Amanda.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
It's so weak.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Amanda's always knocking Jonesy.

Speaker 9 (39:44):
I'm done.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
It's a good thing we got Sparrow.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
One single screenshot between a mother's group chat has racked
up over 10 million views and sending the internet into
a craze.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
It's known as Oreo gate.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
We thought it was a sincere chat about a woman.

Speaker 5 (39:58):
Ashley, one of six mums in the group.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, asking the other mums not to put Oreos in
the lunch boxes because she doesn't want her daughter to
eat that kind of sweet stuff.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Troublemaker Michelle came in.

Speaker 10 (40:10):
I didn't want to bring this up again, but Ava
came home upset again today.

Speaker 5 (40:14):
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. Once the lunchbox
is packed.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
But that song is just so catchy. It is very catchy.
And then we found out that, in fact, and we
thought when it was a scam, we thought maybe it's
Oreo behind it. It's not actually. It's the people that
are in cahoots with the people who make the AI
music generator.

Speaker 5 (40:38):
The cahoots people.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
The cahoots people.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
The Suno people. So they're an AI mob.

Speaker 8 (40:42):
You give them a text and you put them into
their Suno app and you get a song out of it.

Speaker 5 (40:49):
I gave one of our, and I found many chats
from you and I.

Speaker 9 (40:52):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (40:53):
And this one, the ones that I've found.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Are they as inane as I imagine?

Speaker 5 (40:56):
The ones that I've found.

Speaker 8 (40:57):
Don't have swears in them. But I gave this to
Digital Jenna. So this particular one, this was about the
Bruce Lehrman outcome.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
And who says what?

Speaker 5 (41:05):
So this is you.

Speaker 8 (41:06):
Saying to me, the Lehrman result is being read out
live on SMH.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
And I write SMH.

Speaker 8 (41:13):
And you say, look online. I was referring to the
newspaper as a joke.

Speaker 5 (41:18):
But SMH.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
I was referring to the newspaper.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
No, I was saying SMH. You know SMH. Do I?
Shake my head. See, it's ironic. God, you've become a youth.

Speaker 2 (41:30):
That's me sneering at you at the end.

Speaker 5 (41:31):
Digital Jenna has put that exchange into Suno. This is
the result.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
The Lamar result is being read out live on SMH.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
SMH.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
Look online. No, I was saying SMH, you know. Shake
my head.

Speaker 7 (41:54):
See, it's ironic.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
God, you become a youth.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
It's ironic.

Speaker 9 (42:10):
God, you become a youth.

Speaker 10 (42:19):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Sounds so much more important when you've got a.

Speaker 5 (42:22):
Gospel choir singing it. What about the one, there's two more,
there's three actually.

Speaker 8 (42:28):
There's one when you've got a runny nose and there's
a typo and then there's one where I've had a
few drinks and I thought I was talking to you,
but I'm talking to myself.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
Oh, God. Digital Jenna, come on, do some more. We'll
do some more of that.

Speaker 2 (42:44):
All right.

Speaker 8 (42:44):
Also, Instagram's coming up and the pub test this morning.
Cold calling your friends. Does it pass the pub test?
We'll explain more on Gold. Jam.

Speaker 7 (42:52):
Jam Nation.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
Gold. Hello there. It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home.
Oreo Gate. We all remember where we were when we
heard Oreo Gate.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
It led to some social discourse about, one parent's control
over the group chat, et cetera. But I think the
reason people loved it was because part of the conversation
went viral as a song.

Speaker 9 (43:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
And that's what we all responded to, AI-generated song.

Speaker 8 (43:14):
I didn't want to– I had a feeling that there
might be some sort of shenanigans going away.

Speaker 3 (43:18):
But it wasn't from Oreo.

Speaker 8 (43:19):
No, no, but it's from this mob called Suno, which
is an AI music generation app.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
And it is fantastic. I've got some texts from us.
We had the Lerman discussion, which was pretty good. That
was a gospel sort of vibe.

Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, I liked it. It made it seem important to
our drivel.

Speaker 8 (43:37):
Okay, well, this one here, and I'm tired of these.
This one I'm going to call typo, okay? So this
is the chat between you and I.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Who made the typo? Tell me. All right, tell me
who's saying what.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
This is you. Just pulled into the driveway.

Speaker 9 (43:52):
Me.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
Yay. How goes it? How are you feeling? That's me.

Speaker 8 (43:58):
Boat is running like a bastard and I'm sneezing a lot.
I'm heading to bed.

Speaker 5 (44:03):
Nose, not boat. Me, my nose is the same. I
mean boat.

Speaker 8 (44:09):
And you say, you've got a cold. And I say, no,
I was making a typo joke.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
How does it sound when it's put to music?

Speaker 5 (44:18):
Just pulled into the driveway. Yeah. How goes it? How
are you feeling?

Speaker 8 (44:25):
Boat is running like a bastard and I'm sneezing a lot.

Speaker 5 (44:27):
I'm heading to bed. No, it's not boat. My nose
is the same. I mean boat. You got a call? No,
I was making a typo joke. What about this one?
I call this one repertoire. Okay. So it starts with you.
I just thought of it. This is you. I just

(44:48):
thought of it. I'll leave it with you. No stress. Kiss, kiss. Well,
a bit familiar.

Speaker 8 (44:54):
For me, when do you ever say no stress? You say,
I'm adding it to my repertoire. I say, cool beans.

Speaker 9 (45:04):
Oh, yuck.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
What a hick.

Speaker 8 (45:06):
You say, well, this is new. And I say, I'm
aging it to my repertoire. Crazy face.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Is that an actual typo?

Speaker 5 (45:13):
Yeah, adding bugger. And then you, what a shame.

Speaker 10 (45:18):
I just thought of it.

Speaker 5 (45:19):
I'll leave it with you. No stress.

Speaker 10 (45:22):
When do you ever say no stress?

Speaker 5 (45:25):
I'm adding it to my repertoire.

Speaker 3 (45:29):
Cool beans.

Speaker 10 (45:31):
Boy, this is new.

Speaker 5 (45:32):
I'm adding it to my repertoire. Add it, add it,
add it, add it. Bugger, bugger, what a shame.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
Bugger, bugger, what a shame.

Speaker 5 (45:51):
And this was probably my favourite. Have we got more?
This is the last one.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (45:56):
This is where I'd had a few drinks.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Oh, dear.

Speaker 8 (45:59):
And I think I had a new phone because I
possibly lost my phone whilst consuming drinks.

Speaker 5 (46:05):
It's me sending you a text to test if it's working. Okay.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
I can't wait.

Speaker 5 (46:09):
Hey, is my phone sending texts?

Speaker 2 (46:11):
You're saying that?

Speaker 7 (46:12):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
And then answer.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (46:14):
Then some hours later, no reply.

Speaker 8 (46:18):
You say, yes. What does that mean? Are you getting
my text? I tried to call, goes to voicemail. I've
written some hours later. I've just realized that yes, I sent,
I mean, I just realized that yes, I was, I
sent that to myself.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
I'm answering my own text.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Okay. How does that sound? Hey, is my phone.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Sending texts?

Speaker 5 (46:45):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (46:47):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
What's that mean?

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Are you getting my text?

Speaker 7 (46:51):
I tried to call.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Ghost voicemail.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
I just realised that yes, I sent this to myself.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
I'm answering my own texts. Yeah, I don't think that's
going to the top of the charts any time soon.

Speaker 8 (47:04):
I think we should put in a compilation. Pub test
is coming up. Cold calling your friends, not by text.
Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 3 (47:13):
See a whole lot more of Jonesy and Amanda on
our socials.

Speaker 5 (47:17):
Jonesy and Amanda.

Speaker 3 (47:18):
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
Gold. Hello there.

Speaker 8 (47:21):
It's Jonesy and Amanda driving you home this Thursday, the
3rd of September, and Thursday being Friday Junior.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
Always good to get down to the Jonesy and Amanda
arms for... The good old-fashioned hub test.

Speaker 6 (47:32):
Thank you, Stan.

Speaker 5 (47:33):
Let me ask you a question.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Do you cold call people? And by cold call is
a harsh term, but do you phone people unannounced?

Speaker 5 (47:41):
If I want to get something done, I do. Like what?

Speaker 2 (47:44):
What's an example?

Speaker 5 (47:45):
You might want to talk to a tradie. You might
want to get something sorted out. I want a direct answer.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
If you have to phone a business contact, that's different,
I would think. Would you phone a friend? Would you
cold call a friend?

Speaker 8 (47:56):
I'm finding lately I'm texting first, firing a little bit
of a warning shot.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
Mate, are you free? Can I talk to you for
a minute?

Speaker 8 (48:03):
Even though I'm doing that with you, there was a
time when I'd just talk or call you at any time.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
But now I go, are you available to chat?

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Yeah. And I respect that because you know that sometimes,
and also when I'm home, I want to spend some
time sitting with Harley. Yeah, of course. So it's not
like we're always free. I think. I've been looking at
some comments on this. There was an article in The
Cut that was speaking about this. And most of the
comments are saying, we're losing our society, people who want

(48:32):
to isolate. That's a mental health issue. It's not normal
and human to be disconnected. But in this day and age,
I would argue that we are contactable 24 hours a day.
And so just because we don't answer the phone when
you want to call us and we'd rather a text
first or whatever... does not make us antisocial. It means
we spoke about boundaries a bit earlier. Having boundaries around

(48:56):
our availability, even with good friends, saying I'm not up
to the chat now, I've got dinner, I'm feeding the dog,
I've got dinner, whatever it is, does not mean you're
always available to chat and that does not make you antisocial.
You and I talk for a living, so I don't
even like talking on the phone. I find that exhausting.
And I will speak to my dad, I'll phone my brother,

(49:17):
I'll talk to the kids, but they're the fastest conversation.
in the universe. And so I'm someone who would say,
are you free for a chat if I felt like
I needed a chat? But I think it's wrong. I
think it's wrong to say that you're antisocial and inhumane
and you've stepped away from society. If you don't want
to talk on the phone because we're contactable 24 hours

(49:39):
a day. I don't want to be.

Speaker 8 (49:41):
Our text-based social boundaries ruining our personal relationships.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
So cold calling your friends.

Speaker 5 (49:48):
Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Does it pass the pub test? Would you do it?

Speaker 5 (49:50):
Is that what you do? Is it what we do now?
135522 is our number. We'd love to hear from you
on gold. Gold. Hello. It's shown you the amount of
driving you home.

Speaker 8 (49:59):
I just think my deodorant just gave out there while
I was ripping it up a drum solider.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
Not just then.

Speaker 5 (50:03):
Have you noticed? I smell it. I'm joking. It's a
good drum solo, that, to get on the air kit.
Is everything okay?

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (50:12):
Let's get into Instagram.

Speaker 8 (50:19):
No time for sweat. Ten 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. Get all
the questions right. $ 1, 000.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
You can make it $ 2, 000 by answering a bonus question,
but it's double or nothing.

Speaker 5 (50:32):
Mitch is in Beaumont Hills.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Hello, Mitch.

Speaker 5 (50:35):
Hello, Amanda.

Speaker 9 (50:35):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (50:36):
I'm very well, thank you. You sound like you've got
a good radio voice.

Speaker 9 (50:41):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Have you been told that before?

Speaker 3 (50:44):
No.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
Brendan, a bit jelly?

Speaker 5 (50:46):
Not at all. Not at all, Mitch. Anytime you want
to come and do this, you can.

Speaker 9 (50:51):
No, no, no.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
I'm nervous enough just speaking to you on the phone,
let alone doing it.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Mitch, don't be nervous.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
Mitch.

Speaker 5 (50:56):
We're all sitting around in our underpants.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Calm yourself down.

Speaker 5 (50:59):
It's Amanda's weekend.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
You have to focus here. We've got 10 questions, 60 seconds.
Do say pass if you're not sure, okay, because we
might have time to come back.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
Certainly.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Good luck, Mitch, because here we go. Question number one.
What animal meows?

Speaker 9 (51:13):
A cat.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Question two. How many wheels does a tricycle have?

Speaker 6 (51:17):
Three.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Question three. Who is the current treasurer of Australia?

Speaker 3 (51:22):
Jim Chalmers.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Question four. The drink sake is made from what? Ross.
Question five. Who is the villain in Peter Pan?

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Pass.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
Question six. What's the nickname for the London Underground System?

Speaker 9 (51:39):
Pass.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Question seven. Yakult originated from which country?

Speaker 7 (51:44):
Germany. Oh.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
I would have said Germany too. It's actually Japan.

Speaker 9 (51:50):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
Yes, I would have thought it was Germany. Peter Pan,
the villain, I'm sure he'll have come to you at
some point. It's Captain Hook.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
Yeah, that one would have come.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
And the nickname for the London Underground is The Tube.

Speaker 6 (52:04):
That was the one that was escaping me.

Speaker 11 (52:05):
Oh, Mitch.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Thank you, Mitch.

Speaker 5 (52:08):
Mitch, thank you.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
Jonesy Chuck Sosicki, I'll give you a call.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
Sure, I'll give you Amanda's details, mate.

Speaker 2 (52:15):
No worries. Thank you, Mitch.

Speaker 5 (52:17):
Thank you, Mitch.

Speaker 8 (52:18):
If you'd like to play Instagram, you can register jonesyandamanda.com.au.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Coming up next, do you just phone your friends for
a chat or do you text them beforehand? Cold calling
your friends, does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 5 (52:30):
That's coming up on Gold. Right on, sis.

Speaker 8 (52:33):
Gold, it's Jonesy Demander driving you home. Let's get on
down to the Jonesy Demander arms for the pub test.

Speaker 7 (52:39):
The pub test.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Pub test.

Speaker 5 (52:40):
Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 3 (52:41):
If something sounds unlikely, then it should fail.

Speaker 11 (52:44):
The pub test.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Yeah, the pub test.

Speaker 5 (52:45):
Doesn't pass the sniff test. Stop it.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
It's not helpful.

Speaker 5 (52:49):
Cold calling your friends. Does it pass the pub test?

Speaker 2 (52:52):
What kind of person are you and what kind of
friends do you have? A lot of the comments here
are saying... If you don't just pick up a phone
and call your friends, you're inhumane, you've disconnected from society.
What's wrong with you? I talk all day and I
don't want to necessarily talk on the phone. And I
think modern society, it's not like the old days where

(53:12):
there's one phone in the house and that was it.
If you're home, you're home. If you weren't, you weren't.
And answering the phone is the most exciting thing in
the world. Now we are contactable 24 hours a day.
And sometimes you don't want to be contactable. I think
it's perfectly acceptable to say, hey, are you up for
a quick chat or whatever it is.

Speaker 8 (53:27):
But as soon as someone says, are you up for
a quick chat, you say no. You instantly say no.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
I think no, but I say yes.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
Unless it's an opportunity, it's something good.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
What about a friendship? I'm talking about if Scott Mays
just calls you out of the blue.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Oh, I'd love to hear from him. He hasn't rung
me for some time.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Well, why don't you phone him out of the blue?

Speaker 5 (53:45):
Why, I do.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
I ring him all the time. Do you?

Speaker 5 (53:48):
I do. I ring him quite regularly.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Okay. So you said before you like to text people beforehand.

Speaker 8 (53:53):
But he works in a place where, you know, he's
got a high-pressure job and there's a lot of, you know,
things that could blow up.

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Why don't you phone him out of work hours on
a weekend, say?

Speaker 5 (54:05):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Your convictions are so strong.

Speaker 5 (54:08):
I rang him when I was painting my rudder. It
was his birthday a year ago. I was painting my rudder.
And Irene.

Speaker 10 (54:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:14):
And we had a good old chat.

Speaker 10 (54:15):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
See, there you go. So what do you think? Cold
calling your friends. Do you do it? Does it pass
the pub test?

Speaker 12 (54:21):
Yes, because if you don't want to answer, if it's
not convenient, don't answer.

Speaker 11 (54:25):
Just because your phone rings does not mean you have
to answer it.

Speaker 7 (54:29):
It does if you know your friends well enough and
you've got the.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Discretion to know who.

Speaker 7 (54:33):
You can and who you can't and who you should
maybe text first to see if they're available.

Speaker 9 (54:37):
Oh, of course it does because, you know what, with
the blokes, they can go months without talking to their
mates and then all of a sudden, bang, they ring
them and it's like we're talking yesterday.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
That's what happens.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Yeah, and it's lovely.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
It is lovely. Thank you for all your calls. I
understand that it's lovely. I just got a message from
the scamp there, a big thumbs up.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Show me.

Speaker 5 (55:00):
My phone's off. Oh, what a shame. What a shame.
I can sense it.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
I can sense it.

Speaker 8 (55:05):
Apologies to Mickey Dolan's fans who are hanging for our
interview with Mickey Dolan's.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
He's gone MIA, according to his management.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
Well, we said we had to be on air, so
we couldn't just call it any time.

Speaker 8 (55:19):
I know that Margaret of Ivanhoe is still coming to
terms that we didn't have Mickey on the show.

Speaker 6 (55:25):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
If I said to you, hey, we might have Mickey
Dolenz on the show, would you go, wow?

Speaker 6 (55:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
See?

Speaker 2 (55:34):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (55:35):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (55:37):
Margaret's beside herself. Look, I'm just saying, Mickey's free to
come on the show.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
You don't have to be a major Monkees fan to go, wow,
Mickey Dolenz.

Speaker 5 (55:46):
What's your favourite Monkees song, Margaret?

Speaker 6 (55:51):
Um, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (55:52):
I don't have one.

Speaker 5 (55:53):
No, I can't.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
No, but you might like them from their TV show, Brendan.

Speaker 9 (55:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
You know, you don't... Do you remember their TV show, Margaret?

Speaker 11 (56:01):
I do.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Thank you.

Speaker 7 (56:02):
I don't remember the name of it, but I do
remember it.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Thank you, Margaret.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
It was called.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
It was called The Monkees, was it? Brendan, what's wrong
with you?

Speaker 5 (56:10):
Maybe Life 360 for Mickey.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Righto, you two.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
That's enough.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
He'll never come on now. You were so mean about him.

Speaker 5 (56:18):
I think I'll live. You think you can live with that?
I think I'll be okay. Well, we'll be back tomorrow. Friday,
field sessions. Not Mickey Dolan's the next best thing. Anthony Kalia.

Speaker 2 (56:29):
He's going to sing his heart out and we can't wait.
