Join Jonesy & Amanda for EXCLUSIVE (unaired) episodes!
It's sosy and unman room floor, it's COT's cutting.
What's on the cutting room floor? First day?
Back, friend, Well, let's talk about food.
I follow a guy on social media and it's called cooking with Congress, And what he does is he samples the day in a life food wise of people throughout various parts of American government. It might be someone who works as a fireman in Oregon, for example, or a civil servant if they've got any of them remaining in America from Nebraska. But I'd look with interest to first ladies he ate like Jackie on NASAs for a day and like Nancy Reagan for a day. They're both very thin women. Do you want to hear what Jackie Nasa has had a day in the life of her food? This is probably when she wasn't at state dinners, et cetera. It was very plain. Sheare her breakfast toast with honey and just coffee with warm milk and an orange juice. Lunch was a broth and a very thin sandwich of light grilled cheese. What hear with this have been probably the seventies. Yeah, a snack. This is stuff that people snack on today. Cottage cheese and blueberries. Remember cottage cheese and grapefruit were all rage cottage cheese.
You don't see people eat that anymore, yes you do.
It's all come back bad. It's the new thing, is you know how.
I don't know how we can actually walk around without constantly asking for protein. According to social media all day, all we're supposed to do is consume pro I don't know how we sleep at night.
Just eat protein.
So cottage cheese, I know it's come back to my thighs.
Whether it's whether it's being blended or baked or whatever, cottage cheese has made a huge resurgence. That's a big deal thanks to that protein that we're all told to have. So here's Jackie Arnasa's's dinner. Cold poached salmon, blanched string beans, roasted potatoes, not.
A hint of a sauce.
She was very thin.
Her husband was getting all the sauce, was cashing in on that.
And dessert, it says here half a cup of peach ice cream, But I've had to look at the picture of the guy and what he was doing. It's half a cup of ice cream with some tinned peaches. You and I have both spoken of this. This was the dessert of our upbringing. Was two fruits and ice.
Yeah, what a great dessert. Put that on mastership. Forget your bloody snow globe, Get us some too. Fruits and ice cream.
Yeah? Did you used to have it with the syrup over the ice cream.
From the fruits.
I don't know what you gorge your parents?
Yes, oh yeah, yeah, Mama put it. You don't want too much fruit in there. You didn't want too much too much.
We either had two fruits and ice cream or we had ice cream in a cone. And sometimes it was the cone that had the flat bottom.
Yeah. They were great.
They were great days, weren't they.
I used to like getting on the cones.
Do you want to hear what Nancy Reagan had in a day? She's another thin woman. Here's what she had her breakfast This would have been the eighties. Yep, a low fat health shake and a glass of orange juice. During the day, she would maybe snack on decaf almond tea lunch, a salad of ridicio watercress, grapefruit.
Almonds and lemon vinegrette.
Dinner was a broiled trout with kiwi and broccoli, and her late night snack. This is where she went crazy. Eighteen tubs of ice cream. No, a banana, Oh, she just.
Said a banana.
Poor.
She jumps into bed with Ronald.
She was dreaming that he was wrong with McDonald. She'd have been starving after a day like that.
What's your day? On a plate in the morning, Well, I'm in.
Here my danna plate. I may have you bring a.
Parnet of superfoods. In blueberries, I have blueberries. If you pick out all the moldy ones, yeah, about three blueberries.
They last about ten seconds in the fridge. If you're getting a moulberry or a BlackBerry. BlackBerry that's what they called, aren't they It's BlackBerry? What was the palm pilot?
Everyone used a BlackBerry?
Drug dealers.
Don't make a mistake of chomping on matt. I'll probably have some little fruity bits like that. Yep, I might have some instant porridge. We have to have things that we can prepare during a very short news break.
I'm not going to put on an awesome book. Oh, for example, it.
May be hungry. You mentioned, I say book after the show? What do you eat?
Actually, what do you eat after the show?
I usually make a tuna melt. So I eat some oats in the morning. I like my oats in the morning.
I make a heart melt. I make many hearts melt.
Of course you. And then I I get some lebonese bread and I get some grated cheese and some serena tuna and a bit of that for fat. Yeah with oil. Yeah, don't waste my time in that watery slot. And I get the Frank's hot sauce. You have Franks, no hot sauce, red sauce.
And do you put that under the gorilla?
I just put in the toastmaking machine. Yeah, your chafful machine, okay. And that it makes you a little It's very nice, yeah, very nice.
When I go home for lunch, I'll sometimes have tuna and a salad or a bit of leftovers from the night before, yep. And then what do you eat in the afternoon.
I try not to eat in the afternoon. I'll have a piece of fruit.
Perhaps it's a very light diet you have unless you go crazy and have MC nuggets all night.
No, And dinner is when I guts out a bit.
What do you have? What are you doing?
Steak and chips and salad or salatas or something like that. During the holidays, you just eat.
Crap all the time and drink. I drink my calories most of the time my holidays. Not a big drinker. But I have a glass of wine at night in my holidays, which I don't do during the week at home.
Yeah, because you're not. I'm worried about when I drink that it's bad for my liver. You're worried about it's bad for your weight.
Yes, that's right. I don't care less about my liver.
Right.
Well, you remember when I first started working with you, on a weekend, you would have like fifteen beers a day. You don't do that anymore, do you.
Yeah, not fifteen so much, or you unless you've been fibbing.
I've been drinking a lot of the mid strength beers as you get older. I've been drinking the blackfish because it takes you longer to become a dickhead, and also you don't have the hangover the next day. I have no time for a hand.
I have the same calories as a full beer.
Actually, that's a good question. I'm not too sure about that. On Friday, that's you know, that's your goosey to go. Yeah, you go full blown on the Friday and then you sort of tape it down from that. Yeah, that's what I tried to do.
And mondays the easiest doing in the world, not to have a dreamk Yeah. Yeah, by Thursday I go or whatever.
Yeah, Thursday, you're like, I'll have a reed out on the town. But yeah, and because they say that you're not supposed to because when you go to the doctor, they say you're not supposed to drink that much. You know, they'll say how many drinks do you do?
If you're honest? Are you ever honest with that?
I always lie a bit.
They must know, we know, they must add twelve drinks to every conversation we ever had.
But I've got mates would drink fifteen beers a day every day. If I drank fifteen beers, I would do that on a big, a big night, and I would have a hangover. I probably I'm good for four. I like having four, the feeling of four beers. Can't drive a car well, I do have some mates who say five and drive even nineteen seventy two. But I'll have four, and I feel good if I could take if I could stop at.
Four, this is what someone said to me, and this is very true. She said she drives to parties and things because she says she can have two drinks. And she said, you're never going to feel better than you do it two drinks.
That at two.
Drinks, the rest of the time you're playing catch up to feel like you did when you had two, and then.
You overdo it.
You're chasing the dragon.
Chasing the dragon around. She'll get you another drink, and that's why she drives so that she stops at two. And that's the best buzz of all.
Who is this friend?
It's not me, obviously.
I just want a Deso driver because that would be great.
More grapefruit, Brendan.
Okay, what's on the cutting room for today, wouldn't you?
Okay, let's talk Fire Festival to.
The Doomed music festival that became a Netflix series.
Oh, the series was amazing. It was a series. All was one one.
Special, nothing was two specials.
It's worth having a look at.
This was Fire Festival Fyre Festival in twenty seventeen. What a disaster. Have a look at the documentary about it. It is so brilliant because it promised so much.
All these models like in the Bahamas, the most insane festival the world has ever seen. Island get Away turned disaster became very far bearing.
Just wait until you see what you're getting yourselves into.
Well indeed, well he got himself into a six year prison sentence. So the man that arranged that, his name was Billy McFarland. He was sentenced to prison for fraud. Five thousand people showed up to what was supposed to be a music experience. It was a disaster zone. It was likened seriously to a disaster zone. He was, as I said, convicted of fraud. He was released from prison after four years. A New York court awarded seven two and twenty dollars each to the people who'd attended. So people were turning up and the organizers knew that the musicians had backed out. They knew the accommodation wasn't ready. It's the most excruciating thing to watch. I'll just read this before we get to Fire Festival two. This is what went wrong with Fire Festival one. The organizers didn't have enough space for a number of people who attended. They didn't have any experience about planning large scale events. They didn't have anyone working on logistics, marketing, and safety. The organizers defrauded investors, investors and ticket holders. The organizers falsely advertised vip villas that ended up being disaster relief tents. Do you remember a first image that ever went viral? I think in the whole world, But this was the doomsday moment for Fire Festival. Someone uploaded a photo of a dodgy cheese sandwich. Yep, it was a piece of bread, a piece of cheese, and that was it, considering they had paid for gourmet meals. There was no such thing. It did not exist. The proper tents did not exist. Mattresses were just thrown onto rain soaked floors. When everyone arrived, all their luggage was just thrown into an unlicked car park. It's horrendous to watch it and the audacity they have in launching fire Festival too.
No, good morning, everybody.
We just announced on the Today Show that fire To is to place April twenty fifth through April twenty eighth on a private island off of the Caribbean coast in Mexico. Ticket applications are available on fire Festival to darkhark Well.
They say it's real, They're going to be offering quote boundary pushing excursions by day and intimate beachside performances at night. Their website says that tickets are selling between fourteen hundred dollars and one point one million dollars for one ticket for luxury your promised luxury yachts prices experiences.
I mean, this sounds terrible.
That could include diving with whale sharks, mixology sessions, survivalist challenges.
Survivalist challenges. That means that they put you in an evacuation tent and three with cheese sandwich.
And you evacuate your bows because there they are saying, we've booked it. It's all happening in a tropical island off Cancun in Mexico. Well, interestingly, the government of Mexico is denied knowing anything about it, so how does he get away? Tourism director has said, we have no knowledge of this event, no contact with any person or company about it. If you go to their website and take the coordinates they provide, apparently this is what the man has said. This truism man has said, if you put those coordinates into Google Maps, it takes you to the ocean.
When he was pressed.
When good old Billy McFarland was pressed about who has been booked, he's what he said.
We're going to have artists across electronic, hip hop, pop and rock. However, it's not just music. We might have a professional skateboarder do a demonstration. You might have an MMA champion teach you techniques in the morning, and.
You say we might have are any of these forescher haves?
Are they booked?
So?
I think what makes Fire so cool is that we are selling the experience of fire. I want to be one of the first festivals that can sell out with.
No artists, but you do have them booked.
We're a doubting the artists over the next few months, so I'm not in charge of booking the talent.
Will these be a list names that are involved.
I really hope so, and I expect so from our conversations.
Because he got done for fraud before now I can't say, hey, I've booked them all.
But since then he has booked someone. Do you want to know who it is?
They've locked in a performer, the very famous Antonio Brown. Who's he Well, I had to read he's retired from the NFL in twenty twenty two after running off the field shirtless mid game and has not been heard of since.
But he kept running like Forrest Gump.
He's the only person who has been.
Booked someone that run away from the event like it.
Okay, so fire festival too.
Here's my credit card details. Caveat emptor. That's not one of the acts. That's a Latin phrase. Look it up.
I'll look it up. That's up there with do Better.
Yes, John Zyns, Carlia, it's Charles Man's car.
Call him.
When your kids were little, did you have fancy prams?
No?
No, no, I think we My kid's too old to be part of the ear of the fancy pram. They were coming along. I reckon your ear. Your kids possibly were in the fancy pram?
Were they fancy? I don't think we had a fancy pram. We had one that the brake never worked and we never got it fixed. That's nice, isn't it.
That's a great level of Actually, you know what, I remember when Jack was little, you guys came out of my house and we had Harley and I were down in my shed because we had to take the wheel off the pram and use it on my grinder to grind down the brake part to fix it.
Well, I think we just the brake was jammed, so we took the break off.
Yeah yeah.
But at one point I had a double decker, so Jack as a newborn, was in the slingy bit underneath, and Liam as a toddler sat in the top. But it was such a cheap model that we bought that it overbalanced. I remember once outside McDonald's it overbalanced and both children and I.
All hit the deck.
What did you what were you?
No, I'm walking past it, and this youngest, this young person who's working there, just stood there gormously looking at me through the door, and I said, are you and fing idiot?
Terrible?
I was so stressed my two babies spewed out over them over the street.
Yeah right it could someone help me? Help me?
Kids?
They're still gormleous to this time.
They just Well.
The reason I'm talking about prams is Lamborghini has partnered with a British nursery brand called Silver Cross, and silver Cross apparently claimed that they were the creators of the original Pram in eighteen seventy seven. They've partnered to make a super duper Lamborghini Pram. I think there was a McLaren v pram around when our kids were small, and I had to talk Harli into not getting it, of course, but this retails for five thousand dollars.
Ooh, although that's kind of that's kind of reasonable. Some of those bugaboo prams that.
You see, what's a bugaboo?
You know there are about three grand're the ones that look like a barbecue, but they're a pram.
Oh yeah, I don't want you man, Well, the five thousand dollars for a pram, Look, it's nuts. Unless we had a pram that then became a stroller. At least, you know, you extend the life of it a little bit.
You could buy a two thousand and five to add them Camri for that with twelve months.
Ran kids to drive that around.
Mate.
I used to take the pram up to pick up Jack from his little preschool, and because I was going to bring him home in the stroller, I'd walk up just pushing an empty stroller.
I look like a character in a Helen Ready song.
And so I'd put it like a plastic bag or something in it so it looked like, I know it's empty.
I haven't left him at home.
Those nuts to go around collecting cans?
Is that what they do prams?
They put the cans to the pram?
Do they just for the right some of the time.
I think they do it just they just do it to carry around with the prams these days, because they're these days. And I was just looking up baby Bunting and you can get a cheap pram there for two hundred and twenty nine dollars, an expensive one close to four three thousand dollars for the pram, So depending on your your needs. But when I was a kid, the greatest thing to make was a billy cart after a leftover pram. You remember those old school prams with the suspension. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And they had suspension, they had the four wheels, and so what you would do is you take the two front wheels off the four wheel bogey thing and you make your excellent front. You get a bit of longwood and that would run and then you would sit in the basket and you'd had suspension and you pram. Did you ever make those?
No?
My brother and I didn't make a or Dad made a billy cut for us.
But it was just like it was like the cross that Jesus was crucified on a shorter version with some wheels on the front, in the back and a little seat. Because his name was Cameron, I was Amanda. It was called command and we painted a lightning bolt down the sign.
Who painted the lightning bolt?
I certainly didn't know.
Did you write commander? Yeah?
No, I think Dad might have written commander.
Nice? Was there any grief about his name coming before yours?
Now you mention it? Let me call him and tell me about your billy.
We used to love. We get my fees.
Old prams would you use?
We just find them. You go into someone's garage and then, no doubt would be an old pram just sitting around and I mister, can we have that pram? You know you better take the baby out of it first, mate, and then we get it.
Sounds like your ginger megs.
Yeah, but that was the era and I used to My fondest memories is going to Bendigo in Victoria to see my grandparents and they had this. Have you ever been to Bendigo years ago? It's a beautiful city and where they live panning for gold. Yeah, we used to there's always a guy this is how you do it. Boys. And you look at this guy and you think, mate, you don't have shoes.
Like if you're around there, if you're in here every day and you expect me to find gold, if it's.
That lucrative, surely you'd have some sort of dental plan.
Why are you doing my sandwich?
Anyway, we go up to the top of the hill and it was and you just go down the footpath on this and it wasn't a fancy concrete footpaths. It was like a dirt track almost, and you go screaming down this hill to the bottom and there's a natural hill that went up as well, so it wasn't that dangerous because the brakes on the pram. We were good at building and the billy card, but making brakes was.
A that was a hard But see, that's what grandparents let you do. Parents let you do it. Grandparents do Oh they're outside, isn't that nice.
I'm a grandparent. I wouldn't let my kid do. And we'd always let my brother go last because he was hopeless and it always smash it. I'm in One day he got two he literally went two meters and rolled it. He didn't have any momentum and he drives a b double truck.
Now, don't scare the rest of us.
And what's made its way on the cutting room floor today.
Well, in the same way that Marvel is making big sequels to everything, so is Disney.
Actually who did Wicked?
I haven't seen the Wicked movie, but it's apparently as someone found out goolly hotline no other day and said they were kind of sick of it because they like to think that the Witch was a baddie And now we're supposed to have sympathy for the Witch and see the Witch's backstory.
If Wicked was a metaphor for good, then I don't think Wicked is wicked. I think it's something I've avoided for many, many years, and I'm not likely to watch it anytime soon.
Well, what do you think you would make of the new live action adaptation from Disney of Snow White?
Ah?
Well, it's got Rachel Ziegler and gal Gado, they speed, they play.
Well. Gal Gado would be the Witch, wouldn't she in Snow White? Would she so white? Seven?
Too old to be?
What's Galda geddo these days? She'd be almost I.
Think of sleeping beauty. I get my stories confused.
Well, they've spent two hundred and sixty nine point four million dollars to make the film, but they've scaled back the Hollywood premiere, which is always a bad sign because there's been a bit of a backlash against its woke themes.
Let me tell you what's.
Happenings Gone four? Wok? Haven't they have?
They?
I think they did well?
Before we get to what's happening in Snow White? Do you remember they remade The Little Mermaid as a live action film. They swapped out the pale redhead for what's been described it's a halle Bailey, a black arioal and when it was released in Vietnam, was met with a strong backlash and was boycotted in Vietnam.
Yeah, well, why do they do this? Why do they do this?
Well, to be more inclusive.
But the thing is people of color need to see themselves reflect it as superheroes.
They shouldn't just be supporting people who were news stories.
Well why don't they come up with newst You make a.
Very good point, make up new stories. And people are sick of these remakes, aren't they?
Will?
Let me tell you about Snow White?
So here we go.
Here's what's happening here.
They've cast a Hispanic actress as snow White, and Disney fans have highlighted the woke deviations in this story. There's no traditional romance plot. Where was romance in snow White, local wood chopper or something.
Snow White eats the poison apple and goes to sleep, and.
Then Sleeping Beauty. Snow White lives with the dwarves. Sleeping Beauty pricks a finger on a spinning loom. No, that's that's rum.
Still sleeping Beauty in snow White, No, snow White, we have no no the castle everyone and everyone goes to sleep, but snow White goes to sleep.
As well, and she's in a Yeah.
But I don't think there's any backstory to snow White in terms of who she where is she come from?
Why she living with dwarves? We just accept that she is.
She looks after the dwarfs. Why she's there.
We don't know the other part of the story. Do We haven't missed the story.
I just remember those high After whek we go the dwarves to go and work in the mine. She does get kissed, doesn't she by the prince?
Not one of the not the prince. I'm going to and she was feeling I'm going to google was happy line of of what's it?
What is it again?
Snow White, stay here, don't go anywhere? Uh, it says the storyline of Snowhole. What's happened? That must be another version of it? Snow White? Here we are the grim fairy tale.
It's the Grim brothers. Yeah.
The wicked queen, oh there, we are jealous of snow White's beauty. The wicked queen orders the murder of her innocent step daughter. The lady discovers snow White. It's still alive, hiding into cottage with seven friendly little miners.
That's it.
I thought they were above age.
Disguising herself as a hag. The queen brings a poisoned apple to snow White.
You were right?
Who falls into a death like sleep? Can I be broken by a kiss from a prince? Isn't that sleeping beauty?
Sleeping beauty? The whole kingdom goes? Is the whole bill Cosby thing puts all the girls to you, put the piels in the girls.
So what's happening here is that a Hispanic actress is playing snow White and the traditional romance is out because of its sexism, and they've reimagined the Seven Dwarves as a divorce group. A divorce group, a diverse group of magical creatures of all heights, gender, and race.
Man, you know so well, I shouldn't say normal heighted, but tall statue, small statute.
But what that you We may find is that parents would rather take their kids to see this. Maybe, so you and I go, but maybe the parents might choose this.
But what about if you're a short statuted person, a person a dwarf? For you don't have any gigs? Do you get? And now you can even do snow white? All great?
Interesting though, the c g I can transform people into anything. But you were supposed to use short statuted actors for the Dwarf.
When they made you Grand and umbulumpa.
Well, there were protests.
They were outrageous. You Grand is a rich movie star.
And what about who played the guy had his leg off in Forrest Gump. He has to get one legged actors.
No, he had two legs, gone well that he lost both his legs. The c g I was so good in Forrest Gump. I believe that Gary Sonice at the time was a double one.
If you are a double amputee, say why couldn't I not every.
Double amputee can act well, that please. But dwarves, you know people, All dwarves.
Can act Brandon. That's dreadful. They're not just here to entertain. You wore your true colors. Maybe you shouldn't see this film.
Hey, everybody.
In the cutting room, flock, are you ready for more on the cutting room floor today?
Have you ever, Brendan been using a chain saw on a piece of wood or something? You like chainsaws, don't you?
I do?
And you're chopping down trees and stuff with them?
Yeah, have chopped a tree down, chopped up wood, chopped many things to chainsaws?
Have ever done that? And while you're doing that, you think you know what? I could use this in surgery?
Ooh, what Texas chainsaw massacre style?
What came first, chopping down a tree or using a chainsaw on a human? I'm speaking in circles, Gog. I've got some interesting information.
Well, the tree would be first, would know.
The chainsaw was originally invented in the late eighteenth century for medical purposes, specifically to assist in symphysiotomy, a surgical procedure to widen the pelvis during childbirth.
Oh, I know.
The earliest versions were hand cranked, looked like a modern serrated knife. Over time, the concept was adapted for cutting wood, leading to the development of modern chainsaws for forestry, et cetera. But they it was originally designed to help women in childbirth, to widen the pelvis, to help to help the childbirth is the easiest thing on earth, but so many times the head would get where you know, people say, oh, people would do this on the side of a mountain and babies died. That's why we have interventions.
Yeah, you gave birth vaginally, didn't you to your children when you put it like that?
Rank But you know, yes, I didn't have a cesarean, if that's what you're asking.
Yeah, do you remember much about it?
I was there at the time.
Well, the first one, Liam was taking a very very long time, and and the day before I'd been to see the doctor, and a couple of days before and I thought for some reason I was fully dilated. They said, oh, you might be fully dilated. Are you checked into the hospital. I said, no, I'm going back to work, And so I wasn't. They'd made a mistake. So the next day when I came to give birth and I was only four centiments dilated after two twelve hours, I said, oh my god. He was me thinking I was a goddess that I was fully dilated and hadn't felt it. So I had a abi dural yep, and Liam came out. He's a vacuum pull so he had a little head, a little hat on. He looked like Nefertiti. He was too scared to take the hat off in case that was the shape of his head pretty much was. And then Jack sort of slipped out like a fish very quickly.
Oh yeah, because the highway's clear, as they say, well.
Not necessarily, not necessarily, but that happened to you. You know, I often thought, who were these people that would ever give birth in a car park or on the side of a road. I pretty much almost did with Jack. I was on all fours in the car park.
Did you know since sixteen forty three, women largely have been giving birth incorrectly or because of Louis the Fourteenth, I.
Mean incorrect So Louis the fourteenth giving birth out of our ears?
Well, you know, women lie down and give birth on their back. The proper way for a woman to give birth is actually squatting down.
Let gravity help you.
It opens up the birth canal. And also, as you say gravity. King Louis the fourteenth, when his wife was pregnant and about to give birth, he wanted to witness his newborn son, next heir to the throne, come into the world. He wanted to witness it. He wanted to see it. Not only that, he got all these mates around so they could watch the arrival of this new heir. So this lady is lying on.
Her back, the queen, please, the queen.
She's got a modesty sheet that just covers up her face and all the other pits. But all they can see is vagin legs and the baby. Look vagin legs, the baby coming out.
And so that was the first time women lay down. He started the trend, did it?
That has started the trend and online if you read about it, it says King Louis. He father twenty two children. So change the way women give birth.
Wowe the modern in the modern birthing suite. If you want to line your back, great, If you want to stand up, great. If you want to yell out the window, great, whatever it takes to get that thing out is accepted.
Yeah, but in that extraordinary imagine on the weekend, you and your mates just sitting down having.
So you know what I'd like to see, get the modesty screen for a face, but you know what I'd like to see.
It's good to be the key
