Jonesy & Amanda

It’s not all glitz and glamour! Being us can be hard and we have to do a lot of crap occasionally…. including one time Amanda had to go to an old folks home…. Hilarity ensued!

Welcome to 2007!

We discover our show’s been around longer than the iPhone, and obviously we’ve created just as much impact around the world.

Being on radio means we get a lot of feedback…. sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes…. strange. We’ll take you through what various people thought of our show in 2007.

PSA: If your name is Laura, and you’re about 35- get back in touch! Jonesy wants to hear from you.

We’re too old and disinterested for radio stunts now…. but we re-live some of the good (and bad!) ones. We also dish out some good advice: ‘don’t p-off the press’ … like an old boss of ours did, and it didn’t end well!

The media industry is cut throat, and not for the faint hearted. Every single TV personality you know of has a story where they were told ‘it was a lock’ only to be left disheartened.

We take you behind the scenes of what it can be like, and what you take away from it. This was also the year Amanda danced on national TV for Dancing with the Stars while looking after two young children and working breakfast radio.

This episode has everything - Amanda accidentally causes a scene with the press, Jennifer Aniston’s leg hair, Harrison Ford’s pit stains, ‘Lick-a-dick-a-day’, Wolfman Jack and idiot millennials.

2006 was an extraordinary year, and we kick it off at the very beginning.

It was the year we lost Heath Ledger, Peter Brock and Steve Irwin, we surprise everyone in the ratings….. and we shared an intimate moment with a Hollywood star. It’s a doozy!

Here we are.. the final chapter of 2005 (but not of the podcast)!

Jonesy and Amanda take you behind the scenes of the torment that radio ratings can bring. Even 16 years later, they still poo their pants every 6 weeks…. what a mess!

Plus, how does Jonesy dig himself out of the very large hole when he asks Amanda “What do you call that… when your face is…. a bit more rounder”?

Did you know Amanda once famously partnered up with another VERY famous Jones….. what could’ve been! Meanwhile our Brendan ‘Jonesy’ Jones talks us through a traumatic event that left Amanda crying hysterically in the street in front of some well-known faces.

If you thought you knew everything about Jonesy, take a seat…. because you haven’t heard it all.

Jonesy takes us through something very personal…. way too personal. But, it’s like a car crash… you can’t look away!

Take a deep breath, and let’s do this.

Jonesy and Amanda go through the first part of Jonesy’s work diary in 2005, where it all began!
