Speaker 1 (00:00):
Me means it's Jenna and she loves cats, TikTok, Snapchat.
She's a social media guru. We like to.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Call her our social media dipstick. By the way, she's single.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Pop, pop, pop.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah, I don't even know what that means. Hello, Jenna.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I think you did that one last week.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
No, I said, what's up, hun?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
No, that was the week before and that was gross.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It's all gross. Hang on, all those influencers that talk
with their mouths open. They talk with their mouths open.
What a shock. They do that. They never close their
mouths when they talk. Anyway, Jenna, what have we done
this week? Unlike I wish you would do from time
to time.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Anyway, it's been a huge week across the Jonesy and
Amanda socials, and it all started with the overwhelming emotion
of seeing Jai Arrow run out for his 100th Rabbitohs
game after his motor neurone disease diagnosis. So our video
has received close to 200,000 views in a few days
and thousands of beautiful comments, such as this one from
(00:54):
Jan who writes, the last two weeks have been so
emotional watching Jai walk out. He's such a beautiful person
who doesn't deserve this, especially at such a young age,
and having it affecting him so severely so quickly. No
one deserves these terrible diseases. Rabideau's supporters really miss seeing
him play. He was amazing on the field, but so
good to still see him at the games cheering his
(01:16):
team on. We're all with him.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh, that sums it up beautifully. It really does.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yes. Another popular post was your view on Ray Gunn.
And her new Netflix documentary, Breaking Badly. So you guys
believe that Ray Gunn was unfairly treated. And if a
male did that performance, then the blowback wouldn't have been
as harsh.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Well, he'd be a hero. Because what I thought was
that as Australians, we like the underdog. We like the
quirky story. But people really turned on her and I
didn't quite understand why. What did people think?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, so our videos received thousands of comments. This one
from Kieran, he writes, I disagree. If it was a
bloke doing it, I believe it would have been a
very similar reaction. I do agree sexism played a part
in the uproar, but no way would a bloke be
called a hero for doing that. This wasn't a larrikin
going on Australia's Got Talent. This was the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Okay. Yeah, but I would implore anyone before they say anything,
watch the documentary because then it will change your mind.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, well, Eliza, she says, I was appalled at the
sports psychologist who didn't take her anxiety seriously enough and
empower her more rather than just dismissing her fear that
the whole world might laugh at her. It's the Olympics.
The whole world was watching and that fear became a
sad reality. This was the first time breakdancing was an event.
grouped with all these elite athletes. She should have gotten
(02:41):
more support.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh, interesting. There you go. Very interesting. I love our listeners.
We support the B-boys and the B-girls.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You're on the D-list.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
On another note, it's time for Digital Genesis. This is
where I choose my favourite contributor of the week who
will receive a bespoke tin hat made by Amanda. I'd
better get on to it. And this week it goes
to Xander on Facebook who commented this on our recent
tin hat. He writes, finally, some real news in the media.
(03:12):
We might be all right if you act normal and
realise that we have been lied to and deceived for
many generations till now. Also, no punctuation.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
No, capitals.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And what conspiracy in particular? That was about the trams.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Ah, the trams, yeah. Yes. Yeah, that was, we had Rob,
regular contributor Rob. What was he saying about the trams?
He said the electric trams were running in Melbourne. Before
they had electricity? Before they had electricity. And it was
just on radiant energy from the sun. That's right. Stop, stop.
And the reason they can't meter radiant energy because the
sun is raining upon us. Do you not see? Yes,
(03:49):
no one can charge it. When did they get to you, man?
It just hurts my head. Go and eat a lizard
and a baby. Jenna, thank you. Or is it the
lizard people that eat the babies?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I don't know, but we know what you're having this weekend.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I feel like lizard baby tonight.
