Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Gold, it's Jonesy Demander driving you home. We straddle a
lot of medias in this business. We do, and that
accounts for why my hips are always sore. So to
keep an eye on what we've said, where it's gone
and how people have responded, we have Jenna, our social
media guru.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Her name is Jenna and she loves cats, TikTok, Snapchat.
She's a social media guru. We like to call her
our social media dipstick. By the way, she's single. What up?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Oh, okay. It's been a huge week across the Jonesy
and Amanda socials. And once again, it all started with
our Tin Hat Tuesday segment. So it was regular conspiracy
contributor Rob. Oh, yes. With this theory that went crazy online.
Jacob Rothschild. Don't you reckon Prince William looks exactly like him?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Meaning that Diana had a relationship with him, presumably.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
No. Unofficially inseminated. By Jacob Rothschild.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
The Rothschilds have been putting their genetics into the monarchy
for the last hundred years.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
And what have people said about that, Jenna?

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, so the videos received three million views across our socials.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Thousands of comments, including this one by Carmen on Facebook,
who writes, the Rothschilds saved the royal family from becoming
bankrupt in exchange for breeding with them.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yes. While user StemCellActivator writes, I've heard all these theories.
And love that they are finally on mainstream radio.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
That's us.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
We're bringing it to the light. Break out the royal
turkey baster. It's also been a very emotional week as
we learnt that Amanda's beautiful 14-year-old Border Collie Minnie, who
we all absolutely adore... has been diagnosed with lymphoma.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes. And thank you to everyone who has responded. I mean,
it reminds everyone about their love for their own pets.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
But it's been beautiful.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yes, exactly. So thousands across the world have resonated with
your journey, Amanda, with people sharing their own heartbreaking stories
and photos of their own pets. So Suze writes, I
was listening to Amanda's story this afternoon on the way
home from work. I bawled my eyes out. When I
got my ashes from my baby Chardonnay, I cried for

(02:15):
hours holding her ashes. I really felt Amanda's pain. My
heart goes out to you.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
You know, it's funny. Every time I mention it to
someone or someone comes to talk to me about it,
they'll still say, oh, I lost my dog five years
ago and I still cry every day.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
So that's hard to hear, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah. And Annette, she adds, I just lost my bestest
boy in July. He was 13 years old. It was sudden,
but we had to make the choice. I still cry
every day. Amanda and family, my heart goes out to
you all. The feeling of utter helplessness is heart-wrenching. Big
hugs to you and your girl.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Thank you. That's lovely.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's why you're going to get like a Galapagos turtle
as a pet because they live for, you.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Know, Charles Darwin's pet. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Was 140 years old.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
But it still eventually passed away. Yeah, I know. Not
on my watch.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Not on Darwin's watch. He's long gone.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
On another note, it's time for Digital Genes.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Digital Genes.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
This is where I choose my favourite contributor of the week,
and this week was a tough one, so I'd like
to give it to everyone who messaged us with stories
of their own pets while giving Amanda some beautiful support
during this tough time.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Thank you, Jenna.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's a lot of bespoke tin hats you'll be making there, friend.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's a lot of virtual hugs, and I accept them all,
and thank you.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Well done.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Thank you, Jenna. We like to call her our social
media dipstick. By the way, she's single. But you know,
a promise made is a promise delivered, so you better
crack them with those hats.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Thank you, Brendan, for always ruining the emotion.
