I sat down for a good hour and got the short bit that I have on tape all written down. So here goes...Caller: How does it feel to work with SMG and Michelle Trachtenburg?
Amber: They're both super cool, really really good people all the way around. It's fun. It's such a girls group of... I mean there like 5 women to 3 men.
(My tape cut off for a minute here: There was something about getting to bite people.)
JoJo: Was that in the casting calls when you were called in for the part? Wanted: Lesbian witch to cast spells?
Amber: Lesbian witch to cast spells...(giggles)
JoJo: By the way, we were talking about your character. You get a funky assortment of mail. Like what kind of mail do you get?
Amber: I get interesting mail. I have this one guy who sends me pictures of himself and they're out of focus...and he has like proverbs...and like biblical references on the picture. And he's gonna love me till I die.
JoJo: Do you ever think, "Dude, this guys missing some marbles."?
Amber: No, I'd actually like to meet him. He osunds like a really interesting fellow.
JoJo: Where does he live?
Amber: I think he's in Europe. He doesn't live in the states.
JoJo: Well thank god for that.
Amber: Well, I'm going there...so maybe I'll look him up. He gives me his number and stuff, I'll call him.
JoJo: You can stop in his neighborhood and knock on his door and totally freak him out.
Caller: Her Amber, what's up?
Amber: Not much, what's goin on with you?
Caller: Nothing, just chillin
Amber: I'm just chillin here too, I kinda have to go to the bathroom again. I'm stupid and drank like 5 cokes before I came in.
JoJo: Really?
Amber: Yeah, I got the big refill thing...and had like 5 of them.
JoJo: Oh my god.
Caller: Man JoJo, let her go to the bathroom already! (Amber giggles)
JoJo: No. She already pee'd once. You only get one pee break on the show. So what's your question?
Caller: What other shows have you done?
Amber: Um...What other shows have I done?...I've done more movies than TV things. I did a movie called The Crush with Alicia Silverstone.
Caller: Yeah, I think I've seen that.
Amber: Yeah, that was pretty cool. And I did...I'm trying to think what else I've done...and I did a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey McGuire called Don's Plum.
JoJo: That's the one with all the controversy and everything.
Amber: Yeah, they have a little lawsuit over it...but um.. but like come on, I get to work with cute guys..it was fun.
JoJo: did you make out with Leo?
Amber: No, I didnt get to make out with anybody.
JoJo: you need more making out parts you know?
Amber: Yeah, I keep asking on Buffy, Cant she be straight for one episode and make out with everybody? but no. Not gonna happen. Ambers just not getting any. Shes unlucky in love.
JoJo: Man that sucks. You have a cool gig though. Buffy that Vampire Slayereverybody watches the show/ Your family, where do they live at?
Amber: I have a lot of family in Alabama.
JoJo: So theyre like, Hey, thats my girl
Amber: I dont think they get it in their town actuallythey get it at like 3 in the morning.
JoJo: Are you kidding? They dont get BTVS in Alabama? What do they watch?
Amber: Well, in some parts they do, some parts they dont.
JoJo: Well in the spots that normally Buffys onwhich is?plug the time of your show
Amber: We are on on Tuesday at 8
JoJo: Well, Tuesday at 8 in Alabama, whats on TVlike the redneck hour.
Amber: I dont know hey hey hey hey hey no dissin the South buddy boy, youre from Texas, come on. We have to stick together.
JoJo: Well okay.. alright ok cool.

JoJo: Hows your peein thing going? You okay? (Turns on some water noises)
Amber: Im okayohyou are a mean little man. (More water) Hey that only works for men not women.
Another Caller: Hi Amber.
Amber: Hey, how are you doing?
Caller: Im doing great how are you?
Amber: I wish he would just stop those peeing sounds (toilet flush) Its a little unsettling oh stop it Ahhhhhh
Caller: I was wondering if you had any advice.
Amber: UmYou wanna be an actor?
Caller: Yeah
Amber: Ummm.. my advice is perseverance. Its taken me 10 years to get to a point where I can actually pay my bills. So you just have to keep slugging it out and it will happen you know?.. as long as you stick it out and you just say, Ok, I dont care if I have to starve, Im gonna do it. You will
Caller: Thank you
Amber: Youre totally welcome. Just keep trying
JoJo: And get some pictures made.
Amber: Yeah, naked photos of yourself helps(giggles) I cant believe I said that.
JoJo: #1 song coming up. Ambers gotta pee. You really have to pee?
Amber: I do, but Im ok, I can hold it.
JoJo: Maybe well see how many times you can pee tonight in this one show and well set the record. That would be kinda
Amber: No!
JoJo: Yeahthats a bad idea.
Break
JoJo: (to caller) make your question quick cuz she had like 6 cokes and she has to run down the hall.
Amber: Its a guy. Yay!
Caller: Yeah yeah, a guy named Lauren right
Amber: No no, its just beenJoJo and all his young women.
Caller: I just heard that the WBs getting real mad about Buffy leaving the network and canceling some shows. Do you know whats going on with that?
Amber: Um, being a lowly(?) actor, they keep me kinda out of the loop, but it does look like werewe might be going somewhere else. But I know that everybody who loves the show will stick with us. But its not really my decision. I just hope it all works out and I love doing Buffy and it would be really sucky if it didnt work out.
JoJo: It wouldnt change your daily routine if youre on one network or another in terms of where you go to work.
Amber: No, not for working, but, you know the WB has been really good to us.
Some guy in the studio: She almost rhymed right now, she said it would be really sucky if she didnt do Buffy.
Amber laughs.
Caller: I was asking about other shows getting cancelled.
Amber: Oh, I havent heard anything about thatI hope not I dont think so, not what Ive heard. That would be really crappy.
Caller: I heard this from people that were on the Roswell Sitepeople are gonna send 100s of 1000s of gallons of tabasco sauce to the television producers.
Amber: haha JoJo: Dudeoh my god
Amber: Oh, that kicks that is awesome. I love that, you know when you love something you gotta stick up for it and fight to the end.
JoJo: Thats how I am with toes.
Amber: Yeah, I knowYou wanna see my toes.. youre just gonna have to ask nicely.
