Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that busy
here rose Zach, and.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Have you ever.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Like this?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Like stage this happened? When's second m L kiss? This
is Zak and don oh.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I've never been happier that it's a Tuesday. Zach, welcome
along to the show. It's so good to be here.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
He's not lying either. He bounced into the studio tonight.
I did, and Dom doesn't usually bounce.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Not a bouncer generally, no, but you skip occasionally, but
not bounce. I thought i'd get in the spirit of
Easter and hop in here.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Did you have a lot of chocolate over the weekend?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I did, But there's been a bit of an Easter
related outrage that I'm going to need to get to
a bit later on the show.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
Well, you covered last week how your mum had cut
you off. She wasn't going to buy you any chocolate
this year. Is it something more outrageous than that.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, it's one that affects more people. That was very
much localized to my life.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You've noticed something more broadly.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm just I think there's something about the way we're
doing Easter in Australia that it puts the whole holiday
at risk. If this is something we're committing to as
a country, it's going to be concerning. We'll get there shortly.
Also coming up, Zach, we have a double pass to
Crown Sydney Sweet Sessions featuring Luke Hemming from Five Sauce
to give away. That's going to be coming your way
in about half an hour after this, though, you're having
(01:32):
Facebook marketplace issues. Yeah, over the.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Long weekend, I ran into a little bit of an incident.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
There's an excuse someone made to why they weren't going
to sell me something.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah that I want your thoughts on whether this is
legit or not? Okay, has Zach been scammed on marketplace?
We'll find out on the other side of this.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Zach and Tom podcast.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Tell me what you think of this Facebook marketplace interaction.
Dom I'm either am getting scammed or this is a
legitimate excuse, and I don't know which side of the
fence I fall on.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, all right, So.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
I arranged to get a vintage camera the other day.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know that I have a bit of an addiction
I could.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I guess this is where it was going from new
listeners to the show. You are listening to Australia's biggest
vintage camera enthusiast. How many do you own?
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Well, probably about twenty, But that's is that a lot?
That's not a big collection.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's not a lot to compare to the average person. Yeah, well, yeah,
I doubt anyone listening owns one vintage camera. Yeah, and
you'll sit in there go only about twenty.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Well, this one was a good one and it was
a bargain price. How much forty dollars? Okay, yeah, I
message within fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I reckon did this one work?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Don't know? I never got there.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That seems stunted you before.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
And that's where this is going, okay, because I couldn't
go straight away. Usually my policies get there as soon
as possible.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh, because you never know what will happen.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And you hate holds on marketplace. You've gone on the
record about that before.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, I don't. Well, you know, when you see it pending,
its annoying, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah? Yeah, like if it's first in best dress.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Well, this guy said it was late in the afternoon,
it was cross town, so I couldn't make it. So
I said, how about one thirty tomorrow. They said, yeah,
that's great. I said, what's the address. They said, I'll
give it to you tomorrow. Yeah, first red flag, right.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Na, I've seen that a why i'll give it to
you tomorrow?
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I mean, I think there's a couple of parts involved.
One is the idea that you might come that night.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
Steal the camera.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I don't know, but it is something about like, well,
why do you need it now?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
You don't need it now, Well, I'll give it to
you the day of this story then, okay, And it
might be the case. So one thirty, I have to
travel like forty minutes to get to this place.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And you spent all night I'm guessing dreaming about this camp.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I was youtubing videos about it.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Yes, I was emotionally invested. But this person said, they
gave me a time.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, yeah, well they agreed that I would be the buyer.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
In your head, there's a montage of you running around
the fear taking photos on this thing.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Now, I load my two year old into the car.
He falls asleep straight away. So like I'm invested in this.
I start up the car and I'm in the driveway
and I think I'll just ask what the address is. Yeah,
this guy replies with, oh my goodness, I'm actually just
realizing that I'm talking to another person named Zach, and
(04:22):
I've given the address to them.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I'll let you know if they don't show up to they.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
And I was like, so on the weekday, during the day,
at the exact time I said I was going, another Zach.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Also said they were going.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, that sounds sus Now.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I'm like, that doesn't even even if that was plausible,
which it doesn't feel like it is. I'm like, I
was first, So tell him not the car, tell him
that there's been a mistake. Yeah, and that you were
talking to another Zach. Why does the other Zach get
my camera?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He's on his way already, Mate, some reason. If this
isn't fake, this guy's your nemesis. There's another Zach who
lives in the same.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
City as you thought.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Immediately of fake and I put a poll up on Instagram.
Seventy percent of people said it was an excuse to
get more money. You know, so someone's offered more money
and they're afraid of getting a negative review.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I guess, so they have to come up with some excuse.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yes, gotcha.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
However, I was telling my friend over the weekend, you know,
check out this guy having me on, and he goes,
I wouldn't be so sure that thing happened to me When.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I was the seller.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
What they said I had two Sarah's because it only
gives the first name.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
It doesn't give a last name.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
You don't see the prior fhile picture. It's just the
image of the product. This person came and picked up
his thing, and he thought nothing of it. And then
ten minutes later another person came and he's like, what
are you doing? And they're like, I'm Sarah. I'm here
to pick up you know, the rocks. He's like, I
just gave it to the other Sarah.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And this is really tricky because if all you get
is a first name, and sometimes you're getting flooded with messages.
I mean, I doubt you are. For avytage camera, I.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Reckon, probably at least two.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
There might have been just one.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
We don't know that you have to move fast on
these ones.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I'm sure you do.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
For the vintage cameras, there'd be a hot item. They are,
I reckon. If I listened a vintage camera or marketplace,
even at a reasonable price. I reckon it'll be there
in a week if you.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Should do an experiment.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Okay, if tomorrow night'm on the show, you can download
some photos online of a vantage camera.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Okay, And I reckon you'll get messages during the show.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh I will not.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I can promise you will. One of them will be
from me the thirteen one oh six five.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
I want some marketplace investigators on this, some people who use.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Marketplace to weigh ina.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Was this guy having me on? Or is that a
legitimate problem? Is it a problem if multiple people with
the same name message you, you get them confused?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Or is this a tactic he used to basically scare me?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, weigh in on this on thirteen one oh six five.
Maybe it's happened to you before. Maybe you have found
yourself on the buyer or sell a side of the situation,
or maybe you just got a gut feel. Maybe you're going, nah,
come on mate, I've been scammed in the marketplace. That's
exactly how they work, That's how they do it.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
What do you think, scamm two? Zach'son, not scammed scammed.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The thing is the coincidence is too great?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, it's a niche.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Item on a week day to Zach's within that tire
of time frame. Now I reckon it's I think you've
been scammed.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
What do you think, producer class scam? It's definitely a scam.
Yeah right, okay, well that's it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
What you think thirty in one oh six y five?
What do you reckon? Was Zach scammed by somebody on marketplace?
Or is it possible that actually there were two Zach's
messaging Corey in Sydney. What are you reckon, Corey?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Well, it has to be a scam, mate. I think
if Zach told him a certain price and then the
other Zach told him another price. You can tell by
the messages. I got two people of the same name
message me, and you can tell the difference between the
two people. Must they talk the same and there's a
little photo that the same thing. Sometimes even if the
photos of the item, I don't think they're both messaging
(08:06):
same day, same message.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
And I'm fine.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
I understand we live in a capitalist society. As a
free market, baby, yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I get that. If someone's offered you more money, just
let me know.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I want to be a part of the rat tat
tat I might be able to go a little high.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
You never know.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Let me in on the deal, start a bidding war.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
How high would you have gone?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Sixty?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh mate, he's possibly lost himself twenty bucks. Yeah, this guy,
and you told me his name affair. I'm close naming
and shaming him. I'm close, mate.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, well we know where he were.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
And that for someone who was so yeah careful without
giving out his address and a Facebook marketplace, he's not
so careful on the online profile.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We're asking thirty one O six five was Zack scammed
on marketplace when he'd arranged to pick up a camera,
only for the person to message in minutes before saying,
oh no, I've accidentally agreed to sell it to a
different zac. I got confused. Whoops, Bailey, what do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I reckon? He was hoping one of you guys would
have wanted it posted so that he got double the money.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Ah, so it was actually a scam. Maybe they never wanted.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Me to actually go to the house, so when I said,
oh I'm coming, it was like, oh no, I don't
want that.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I want you to send me money and then I'll
just keep it.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
There's a lot of.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Different stuff that goes on like that online. I've largely
had really good experiences. I've never you know, I've been
messaged by people on Instagram when we put this up.
He said that they've shown up to people's houses who
have agreed to sell it to him and they said, whoops,
it's gone. Oh really, Yeah, they've shown up at the Yeah,
(09:47):
when they agreed that that was what was going to happen,
they said, I sold it to someone else.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
That's incredible, but you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But Bailey is right. It's a common scam tactic to
say send me the money and I'll post it to you.
And the fact he didn't give you an address, I
can see Bailey may have a point there.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Maybe I should look out and see if the camera
comes back up. If it's a scam, it will come
back up.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
That's a good point. Adrian on thirteen one A six
five has a slightly different view there. Adrian, you're addicted
to buying and selling online. You think that this was legit.
You don't think there was a scam here at all.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
Evening Gents, Usually a scam will say put a deposit,
you know, But the thing is Zach if you were
already talking with a guy when another Zach came on,
it usually would show as a new person, so be like,
is this available, and then the conversation starts. So I
(10:42):
don't know, you know, maybe he was excited to sell
a vintage camera that he may have had on for
a few months or weeks or something.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
So maybe Adrian I was pretty sharp though it said,
you know it was like within at least within half
an hour, if not fifteen minutes of it upload, and
that's how you get.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
The good ones.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
How did you do you have alerts to.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
No, it was just coincidence. I'd checked ten times a day.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Though check for vintage cameras. I just hit refresh ten times.
You have too much time?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
No, But how often do you pull out your phone
and look at it?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Now?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Imagine every time you just quickly went on Marketplace and
typed in old camera.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
We're wrapping up with Georgia up thirty one A six five.
You've got a different theory on this Georgia. You don't
think Zach was scammed necessarily. You think the seller might
have had a change of heart. What's your opinion?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Yeah, maybe maybe if he had the camera after all,
but maybe he decided, like not actually really like this camera,
I'm going to keep it and just pretend he spoke
to someone else and never happened.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Now, Georgia, I don't mind that theory, and I would
be okay with that.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Why would you come up with this far bet story?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Then?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Why wouldn't you just say that?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I don't know?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, See that's the confusing part.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Like, for every reason I can think of, I'm like,
but why didn't he just tell me? The only thing
I could think of is either it actually happened there
were two Zach's, or he wanted to sell it for
more money and he didn't want me leaving a bad review,
so he had to come up with a far fetched story.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We need to get onto this guy, but we need
to get onto him and get to the bottom of this.
We found him on Instagram. I won't give his details
out on the show, but I think we need to
pass this on to producer Claire and see if we
can get him on the show. And if the other
Zach exists, I want to speak to the other Zach too.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
He might be able to play. There's another Zach in
the city and the other Zach might sell it to you.
It's not dead. The dream is still alive. You're listening
to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 11 (12:47):
It's Zack and Dom sive second five second solo. Yeah,
whatever entertains you, come find it at Crown Sydney. Explore
Sydney's place to play at Crownsydney dot com.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It's pretty samp or we'll play a five seconds or
summer song. When it stops. You've got to give us
a five second solo, just a little bit of a tune.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It's that simple, and the one that impresses us the
most will get the double pass to go and hang
out with Luke Hemmings at the Crown Sydney Sweet Sessions Summer.
You are first s up if you're down your vocal
warm up summer. Oh yeah, all right, well here's the
it's gonna work summer. You're gonna hear the song playing
it is young Blood by five Sous. When it stops,
you take over sound good? Alright, yep, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
I'm just a dead man walking to but you need it, Yeah,
you need it all the time.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I committed to brought it back with the end.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, you know the little flutter early on. It was
like spoken word poetry.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, a little bit giggles a little bit, which I
understand happens. Yes, kend it feels a little silly. But
how much do you want these tics?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That's how it works. We'll go to l On thirty
one O six five, Contestant number two. L. You've heard
what Summer had to give? Do you reckon? You can
top it?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
All right, L. Well, here's how it works. Yeah, you're
gonna hear young blood when it stops, you take over
for this double pass. Here we go.
Speaker 10 (14:22):
They want me out of your nose.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
I'm oh, yeah, a little bit of L.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I could hear the vocal range you had there. Are
we talking to a professional singer?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
No?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
No, maybe just a little bit of a run.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Yeah, it was stunning, wasn't it a bit Mariah Carey?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Like? Honestly there was some Mariah in there? It was
like the start you.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Do more a bit more like that dog?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
But sometimes you sing on the show?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah? Never, never, willingly, Yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Would like you to do a little bit more of
the kind of a vocal solo every now.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I think the last Shredded Dignity I've got left on
this show. Will stop me because you just like try.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
To hit the notes I do, and it looks like
you're concentrated, like.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
It looks like that's taking up a lot of the thought.
I want you just to lean into it and go free.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Thanks mate, Well, I appreciate you your voter of support.
We are currently playing five seconds solo here. This is
for a double pasta Crown Sydney's Sweet Sessions featuring Luke Hemmings.
Our last contestant is Kenny Kenny. You're not actually the
five sauce Fanny. This is you singing for your wife.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Do you know the song?
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Kenny?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Oh yeah right.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I mean you sound like a no nonsense man, like
you just want me to start doing this, so why not?
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Well, I'm just dead man walking to night.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
You need it, you need it, all of it time.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Now.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
I appreciate that Kenny knew the words. That was a
little unexpected.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I've never heard that song sound slightly intimidating, though. Did
you feel slightly scared as Kenny was serenading us?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I was not scared, No, I mean what made you fearful?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It just sounded like there was something intimidating in the voice.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
No, I felt like that. Yeah, I'd invited the plumber
over and I was trying to work from home. Well,
they sung along while they fixed the tap.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Okay, well, look, only one of these three can take.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I mean, Summer.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Has a great name. To win a five seconds of Summer,
It's true. I think it's l I think was technically
the best singer.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
I liked Kenny's umph though, and also unexpected I liked
to hear a classic Aussie.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Male voice singing the songs.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
O mate, We've done sort of karaoke competitions on this
show for years and I've never heard anyone give it
as much as L gave it. Okay, I reckon, Ell,
you got the double part.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You are absolutely welcome.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
El. You've been a Big five Sauce fan for a while.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Now, absolutely since I was like fourteen.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Have you seen them before?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
L only in the pub? Only in the pub?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Yeah, I bumped into.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Them at like a pub ages ago.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
But keenes film in clus this would be a little different.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yes, I mean the Crown Sydney Sweet Sessions. It's like
going from the Adhouse to the Pandaus immediately. Our congratulations
we'll have another go to win in a double pass
to see Luke Hemmings at the Crown Sydney Sweet Sessions
tomorrow on the show.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
This is second Tom Zach.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We are a few days post Eastern now Easter twenty
twenty five rapped up and something about Easter this year
has pissed me right off.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yeah, you're really upset about it.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
You said East is one of your favorite holidays because
you went to the chocolate.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, you're right, and this is related to chocolate. And
I don't go on many rants and rempair on this show,
but one thing that gets you fired up is chocolate eggs.
You've got a lot of opinions on them. I do.
And this year, I mean the whole country saw this.
This year, chocolate eggs were ridiculously priced.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Well, that's just cost of living, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Well they say that, I reckon. There's a whole bunch
of products though, that are just like, yeah, cost of
living up to you?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
True, because it's not.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Everything's gone up. Prove to me that Coco's gone up.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Why now is it plausible that the chocolate make has
heard that the cost of eggs is going up?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
And they go yeah, yeah, that includes ours as well well.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Possibly, mate, possibly, But I thought I had a little
life hack to get around this. You know, for years,
I mean we've joked about it in the past, but
for years I've had a bit of a strategy. In
the days after Easter Sunday, you hit up the supermarkets
clean up bargains. I in the past, I kid you not,
Australia have got a full sized Cadbury Easter Bunny three
(18:52):
days post Easter for a dollar fifty. Mate, they're costing
you like nine bucks those pre Easter those are the
dreamed Oh and I dream of them.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
I wait that long for the supermarket or like one
of your stores, like a Target came up.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Big W's a big W that one.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Yeah, I think that's the way to go, right, because
you've been on this bandwagon for years, and I thought
i'd take you up on it today.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
And I went to a course. I couldn't find one, mate.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
This is my rant, Okay, I am filthy about this.
I reckon within hours, maybe even on Easter Sunday itself.
I didn't check that day, but within hours of Easter finishing.
I don't know if they've just dumped them out the back.
I don't know what they've done. If they're holding them
till next year, I don't know what they're.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Doing, mate, Yeah, but there's none in the shops.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah. The odds that they sold out this year and
never have in the past, doubt it. I don't know
what's going on, but I'm so mad about it. And
are you suspect Yeah, yeah, something's going down? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Something. And did you go to a few different supermarkets?
So you've just been to one.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I've tried numerous supermarkets and different chains over numerous days,
different chains, different days.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Did you try the department stores we're talking about, like, yeah,
I try to game up.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, nothing, mate, absolutely nothing. There was no bargain Easter
chocolate anywhere to be found in this last few days.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Wid isn't it?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Well, Like, even if it wasn't on sale, I'd still
expect a few buddies to be around.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
A couple left. What the odds that they perfectly timed
the amount that they needed perfectly counted? I mean, come on, I.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Guess they would have people.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Yeah, it's really in their interest to make accurate guess
is how much people were going to spend? So yeah,
every other year possible, It's not impossible that they perfectly
guessed it.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Every other year they get it, they get it way off,
and this year they bang on. I know what it
is because it started to happen. And I've noticed this
in recent years with Christmas stuff too. You used to
be able to get a bargain Christmas tree three hundred
bucks down to like ninety bucks post Christmas. Suddenly it
gets to like December the twentieth, all the Christmas trees
are gone. Sorry, guys, well, like something fishy is going on,
(20:56):
but the bargain lover in me is mad about it.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Have you ever tried to buy a calendar in January?
You get laughed out of the door. Apparently you have
to buy them in September.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'm just I don't know what's going on, but something
suss is at play. I don't know who's storing these
Eastern chocolates. I don't know. I mean, I'm just going
to throw this out there. Are they rebranding them as
Christmas chocolate eggs?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I think someone did.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Didn't they find that there was like a bunny that
was like repackaged a something?
Speaker 11 (21:24):
Right?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
This is it? I reckon elf.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
The repackaged an elf really, or vice versa, it'd probably
makes more sense of than Elf was repackaged as a
Easter bundy.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I just think the leftover easter chocolate in the past,
they'd sell it till it was all gone. Now they
get it back in a room and they do a
conference and they go, what can we make?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Could they melt it down and put it into block form?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You know what? Probably I reckon there's a fair chance
that's exactly what's going on.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
And would you have a problem with that because the
chocolate is still staying in the such in the economy.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I'm just saying, are you telling me that in these
cost of living times? I can't get a cheap Easter
bunny days?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
That's what it's about, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Like, because you've been getting cheap Easter eggs a year
after year, and then the year when you finally need it, Yeah,
you know, when the economy's just bang bang bang knocking
you down one thing after another, bills rant, and you're like,
can a man just get a cheap Easter bunny please?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
That's a little bit of relief. Where are the politicians
talking about this?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Mate? And you know what the elections. What next Saturday.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I'd heard any of them promise cheap no easter bunnies.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
The first of Albanesi and Dutton, who goes on air
telling me that they'll get me a kin to surprise
bunny for half price or less. You got my vote.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
This could be getting a bit deeper. Don we have
h Denise and Sydney.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
You were in a supermarket on Saturday nights, so not
even Easter.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
And what did you see?
Speaker 10 (22:49):
No, it was Easter Saturday. It's going to be closed
on Sunday. Masses of chocolate bunnies left, masses of everything,
like the whole aisle was still full of chop.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
All the little.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
Gadgets were gone, you know, all the little piney packs
and all the egg and spoon race things got loads. Yeah,
and all of the end of the aisles as well,
another stack. I said, oh god, here's.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
More, you know, and then it's all gone the next
day when they reopen.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Yeah, And my daughter and myself used to love a
bargain bunny. The next couple of days we get them
just because they were marked down.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know, we have to.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
You can't walk past the bargain bunny.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Well, we do it. Dorm and we'd just be chomping
on an ear leaving the supermarket, you know, so.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Using the correct term doing. I would like that to
catch up.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
But he has been known to snack on a bunny
throughout throughout the shopping center.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Chump on an ear, as Denise said, fascinating. So Saturday
night before close packed of Easter chocolate, packed to the rafters.
Monday morning gone.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Where did it go in that time?
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Something there a reverse Easter bunny somewhere on Easter Sunday
taking all the all the stock back.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Possibly look that in one day's excited. If anyone listening
at a supermarket can give us any sort of heads
up on where this chocolate's gone, we can give you
anonymous But we got to dig to the bottom of
this and figure out where all they just getted Easter
chocolate's gone. Nikki in Sydney, you used to work in
a supermarket. Nikki, you can be our insider here. What
are your things going on?
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Well, it is a Greek Easter a week later? What
does that mean they put the eggs away? They'll be
back out because they celebrate their Easter a week later.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, why would they put them away? Then?
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Nick will just be that little bit longer. You'll just
have to wait just so after the Greek Easter and
then you'll find more Easter egg than the films.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
But I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
But that wouldn't explained previous years though.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
No, No, that's I understand that that's a thing, but
that doesn't explain the patterns in previous years, so you're.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Confusing it for a week later.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
No, man, I know the date. I haven't a learn
in my phone. Every year Easter Monday has an alert
go to the shops. You need to be reminded me.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
I do.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
It's an imare actually because he's the changes every year,
so I have to update when the day is going
to be.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
And you don't like give any more context to that.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
So you're wandering into the shop and you're like why
do I have to be here? And then you see
discounted eggs and you're like, thanks coning.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
We're asking for anybody's six five? Why is there no discount?
And what does it seem to me? No discount at
Easter chocolate on supermarket shelves post ease to this year?
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Where did it all go?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Weve got Phil in Melbourne. Phil, You've got a theory
on this, tell us what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, it's a pretty good theory in regards to opportunity
shops and food banks. I have a bit of inside
knowledge into that because we've still got a lot of
Christmas chocolate centers left, so I could always send you
a cop center.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Wait are you telling us, Phil, because in my mind
op shops sell old clothes and Zaclos, vintage cameras and
whatever else. Are you you know easter chocolate as well
at op shops?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Well, they all have food banks or they're related to
food banks.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Yeah, so it goes to.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
People in need.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah, and then that gives the company a little bit
of a text incentive, I suppose, so everybody win.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
They can write something off right, So the chocolate company
companies love a right off.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
They do love a right off. So the chocolate companies
can say whatever's left goes to the food banks, we
get a tax right off, people in need get chocolate.
Everyone wins except Dom. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
What what you're going to fire up against the food banks?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's a hard position to take. I'll grant you that.
I was ready to go hard on just about it. Yeah,
food banks are hard.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
It's like a friend he did a documentary on this
and he went in and he ate so much that
some people missed out. He said, well, you probably didn't
actually need to take a meal.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
From someone else, but he said, I wanted it to
be authentic, like I actually was going to a soup
kitchen and we said yeah, but you went.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Back for third. That was a bit. Well, there we go.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
The Easter chocolate. The disc out an Easter chocolate is
it's gone to a good cause. So well, my stomach
might be rumbling, my heart is warm, and that's a
happy end of the story.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
You're listening to the Zag and Dom podcast.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
Go ahead, make my day.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Every single day is a holiday.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
We're trying to do our part to raise awareness of
lesser known days.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Each night I bring two to the show.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
We have to pick one each to become ambassadors for
hoping to get a few more eyeballs across these desks.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's the that's the hope of it, right
because we are here in the middle of Easter, Monday
or Monday, n Zac Day, Friday, the other days of
the week don't stand much of a chance unless we
can give them a boost.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Well, Wednesday, April twenty three, get ready because it's national
talk like Shakespeare.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Day to be or not to be?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, it's not a great example. Why not, Well, because
you know it's not a regular turn of phrase. You've
used the word doff a lot. I reckon. If you're
going to talk like Shakespeare every day.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Shall I compare you to a summer's day? Go ahead,
you might do.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Something like that. I thought you were complimenting me.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
A rose by any other name. Would it still smell
as sweet? Well maybe it's would smell ass sweet.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, I forget.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I don't think the idea is exhausted quotes.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I don't think though, that the idea is that you
quote shake.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I think that's a part of it.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I think the ideas you talk like Shakespeare.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Oh right, like old English?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
So we still would we have the ways you and
I would communicate. We're still talking about the radio show.
There's a doomb show just in old English?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, okay, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Like? Shall I play a tune and then I would
fire off a song? Imagine if I mean? And you
could totally imagine some shows that would do this. If
we committed tomorrow night on the Whole Show to talk
like Shakespeare, I.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Don't think on the FM dial, Well, would they, I
hard have said some of the AM stations would.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
I think they just do that generally. They do whole segments.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
There is that guy, there is that guy we used
to know, did the segment about grammar on the ABC.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Roy and I think the big star over there.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Oh, Rolly Sussex is his name. You can look him up.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
He's and all the girls.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Honestly, when ROLLI used to walk into the building at
ABC where we were to do his weekly grammar segment,
people would faint.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Through the metamucilady. Hey, here's an interesting fact about Shakespeare.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Did you know this?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Allegedly, according to the legend, Shakespeare was both This is
why it's celebrated on April twenty three, both born and
died on the same day.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
A three.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah, now that it's poetic. Wow, come in full circle.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Briefly I thought you meant like the same year, and
I was like, very prolific for a day of life. No,
I get you. Now that is interesting, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
But I mean like it's hard because they don't know
the exact day he was born.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Oh well then that doesn't count.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
No, But they know the day that he was baptized,
which was the twenty six, and they figured, what's plausible
that was three days more?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, I mean sure. I feel like there's a bit
of poetic license being taken there, how fitting Oh so true?
So true?
Speaker 6 (30:30):
It is also tomorrow is well table tennis day?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yeah, the rackets out.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
What's the difference between table tennis and ping pong?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I'm glad you asked. Yeah, no difference.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Okay, I guess which name came first? Mmm, table tennis,
not ping pong. Ping pong Pong originally called ping pong,
then it changed the table tennis.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Where was it? Did it originate?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Where?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
And when? Do you think? What do I want to say?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I guess that ping pong originated in England three hundred
years ago.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Not bad England in Victorian times. There you go, right,
I imagine the name.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Derives from the sound of the rackets that it doesn't
say that, But I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Well, you can't find anything on where the name ping
pong came from?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Well, I haven't looked specifically older than that. Yeah, well, yeah,
it has to be the name.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Where did the name ping pong come from? The name
ping pong for table tennis originated from the automatic p
X sounds the ball mate when bouncing off the racket
and the table. I feel like we're in one of
Rolly's segments. This is what he used to do, the
meanings of words, the etymology. He loved it.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Are you any good at table tennis?
Speaker 6 (31:57):
We used to play after the show a lot when
we had a table ten this table in the studio.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, we used to.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
This is the wee hours of the morning, Zach.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
For some reason, this clearly shows how much I mean
to you. You didn't go straight home to your your
wife at that time. You'd stay with me for hours, chatting,
playing table tennis.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Yeah, what just a bit of an ego boost to
get a win.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
You did win most of the time, but every now
and then I pipped you? Did you? Every now and
then I got you? Mate?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Well, I don't remember. It meant nothing to me, all.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Right, which these days? Do you?
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Well?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing a bit of table tennis tomorrow. Okay,
I might do a table tennis day.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
All right, I guess I'm talking like Shakespeare.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's all for this episode of the Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Subscribe to Catch the Boys next time and follow them
on socials at Zack and Dom
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that busy
here rose Zach, and.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Have you ever.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Like this?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Like stage this happened? When's second m L kiss? This
is Zak and don oh.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I've never been happier that it's a Tuesday. Zach, welcome
along to the show. It's so good to be here.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
He's not lying either. He bounced into the studio tonight.
I did, and Dom doesn't usually bounce.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Not a bouncer generally, no, but you skip occasionally, but
not bounce. I thought i'd get in the spirit of
Easter and hop in here.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Did you have a lot of chocolate over the weekend?
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Well?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I did, But there's been a bit of an Easter
related outrage that I'm going to need to get to
a bit later on the show.
Speaker 6 (00:56):
Well, you covered last week how your mum had cut
you off. She wasn't going to buy you any chocolate
this year. Is it something more outrageous than that.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, it's one that affects more people. That was very
much localized to my life.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You've noticed something more broadly.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm just I think there's something about the way we're
doing Easter in Australia that it puts the whole holiday
at risk. If this is something we're committing to as
a country, it's going to be concerning. We'll get there shortly.
Also coming up, Zach, we have a double pass to
Crown Sydney Sweet Sessions featuring Luke Hemming from Five Sauce
to give away. That's going to be coming your way
in about half an hour after this, though, you're having
(01:32):
Facebook marketplace issues. Yeah, over the.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Long weekend, I ran into a little bit of an incident.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
There's an excuse someone made to why they weren't going
to sell me something.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah that I want your thoughts on whether this is
legit or not? Okay, has Zach been scammed on marketplace?
We'll find out on the other side of this.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Zach and Tom podcast.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Tell me what you think of this Facebook marketplace interaction.
Dom I'm either am getting scammed or this is a
legitimate excuse, and I don't know which side of the
fence I fall on.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Okay, all right, So.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
I arranged to get a vintage camera the other day.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know that I have a bit of an addiction
I could.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I guess this is where it was going from new
listeners to the show. You are listening to Australia's biggest
vintage camera enthusiast. How many do you own?
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Well, probably about twenty, But that's is that a lot?
That's not a big collection.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's not a lot to compare to the average person. Yeah, well, yeah,
I doubt anyone listening owns one vintage camera. Yeah, and
you'll sit in there go only about twenty.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Well, this one was a good one and it was
a bargain price. How much forty dollars? Okay, yeah, I
message within fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I reckon did this one work?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Don't know? I never got there.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
That seems stunted you before.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
And that's where this is going, okay, because I couldn't
go straight away. Usually my policies get there as soon
as possible.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Oh, because you never know what will happen.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And you hate holds on marketplace. You've gone on the
record about that before.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, I don't. Well, you know, when you see it pending,
its annoying, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah? Yeah, like if it's first in best dress.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Well, this guy said it was late in the afternoon,
it was cross town, so I couldn't make it. So
I said, how about one thirty tomorrow. They said, yeah,
that's great. I said, what's the address. They said, I'll
give it to you tomorrow. Yeah, first red flag, right.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Na, I've seen that a why i'll give it to
you tomorrow?
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Ah.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I mean, I think there's a couple of parts involved.
One is the idea that you might come that night.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
Steal the camera.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I don't know, but it is something about like, well,
why do you need it now?
Speaker 6 (03:35):
You don't need it now, Well, I'll give it to
you the day of this story then, okay, And it
might be the case. So one thirty, I have to
travel like forty minutes to get to this place.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And you spent all night I'm guessing dreaming about this camp.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I was youtubing videos about it.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Yes, I was emotionally invested. But this person said, they
gave me a time.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, yeah, well they agreed that I would be the buyer.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
In your head, there's a montage of you running around
the fear taking photos on this thing.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Now, I load my two year old into the car.
He falls asleep straight away. So like I'm invested in this.
I start up the car and I'm in the driveway
and I think I'll just ask what the address is. Yeah,
this guy replies with, oh my goodness, I'm actually just
realizing that I'm talking to another person named Zach, and
(04:22):
I've given the address to them.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I'll let you know if they don't show up to they.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
And I was like, so on the weekday, during the day,
at the exact time I said I was going, another Zach.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Also said they were going.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Yeah, that sounds sus Now.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I'm like, that doesn't even even if that was plausible,
which it doesn't feel like it is. I'm like, I
was first, So tell him not the car, tell him
that there's been a mistake. Yeah, and that you were
talking to another Zach. Why does the other Zach get
my camera?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
He's on his way already, Mate, some reason. If this
isn't fake, this guy's your nemesis. There's another Zach who
lives in the same.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
City as you thought.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Immediately of fake and I put a poll up on Instagram.
Seventy percent of people said it was an excuse to
get more money. You know, so someone's offered more money
and they're afraid of getting a negative review.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I guess, so they have to come up with some excuse.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yes, gotcha.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
However, I was telling my friend over the weekend, you know,
check out this guy having me on, and he goes,
I wouldn't be so sure that thing happened to me When.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I was the seller.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
What they said I had two Sarah's because it only
gives the first name.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
It doesn't give a last name.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
That's true.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
You don't see the prior fhile picture. It's just the
image of the product. This person came and picked up
his thing, and he thought nothing of it. And then
ten minutes later another person came and he's like, what
are you doing? And they're like, I'm Sarah. I'm here
to pick up you know, the rocks. He's like, I
just gave it to the other Sarah.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
And this is really tricky because if all you get
is a first name, and sometimes you're getting flooded with messages.
I mean, I doubt you are. For avytage camera, I.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Reckon, probably at least two.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
There might have been just one.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
We don't know that you have to move fast on
these ones.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I'm sure you do.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
For the vintage cameras, there'd be a hot item. They are,
I reckon. If I listened a vintage camera or marketplace,
even at a reasonable price. I reckon it'll be there
in a week if you.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Should do an experiment.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Okay, if tomorrow night'm on the show, you can download
some photos online of a vantage camera.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Okay, And I reckon you'll get messages during the show.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh I will not.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I can promise you will. One of them will be
from me the thirteen one oh six five.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
I want some marketplace investigators on this, some people who use.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
Marketplace to weigh ina.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Was this guy having me on? Or is that a
legitimate problem? Is it a problem if multiple people with
the same name message you, you get them confused?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Or is this a tactic he used to basically scare me?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, weigh in on this on thirteen one oh six five.
Maybe it's happened to you before. Maybe you have found
yourself on the buyer or sell a side of the situation,
or maybe you just got a gut feel. Maybe you're going, nah,
come on mate, I've been scammed in the marketplace. That's
exactly how they work, That's how they do it.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
What do you think, scamm two? Zach'son, not scammed scammed.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The thing is the coincidence is too great?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, it's a niche.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Item on a week day to Zach's within that tire
of time frame. Now I reckon it's I think you've
been scammed.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
What do you think, producer class scam? It's definitely a scam.
Yeah right, okay, well that's it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
What you think thirty in one oh six y five?
What do you reckon? Was Zach scammed by somebody on marketplace?
Or is it possible that actually there were two Zach's
messaging Corey in Sydney. What are you reckon, Corey?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
Well, it has to be a scam, mate. I think
if Zach told him a certain price and then the
other Zach told him another price. You can tell by
the messages. I got two people of the same name
message me, and you can tell the difference between the
two people. Must they talk the same and there's a
little photo that the same thing. Sometimes even if the
photos of the item, I don't think they're both messaging
(08:06):
same day, same message.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
And I'm fine.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
I understand we live in a capitalist society. As a
free market, baby, yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I get that. If someone's offered you more money, just
let me know.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
I want to be a part of the rat tat
tat I might be able to go a little high.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
You never know.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Let me in on the deal, start a bidding war.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
How high would you have gone?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Sixty?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh mate, he's possibly lost himself twenty bucks. Yeah, this guy,
and you told me his name affair. I'm close naming
and shaming him. I'm close, mate.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, well we know where he were.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
And that for someone who was so yeah careful without
giving out his address and a Facebook marketplace, he's not
so careful on the online profile.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We're asking thirty one O six five was Zack scammed
on marketplace when he'd arranged to pick up a camera,
only for the person to message in minutes before saying,
oh no, I've accidentally agreed to sell it to a
different zac. I got confused. Whoops, Bailey, what do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I reckon? He was hoping one of you guys would
have wanted it posted so that he got double the money.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Ah, so it was actually a scam. Maybe they never wanted.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Me to actually go to the house, so when I said,
oh I'm coming, it was like, oh no, I don't
want that.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
I want you to send me money and then I'll
just keep it.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
There's a lot of.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Different stuff that goes on like that online. I've largely
had really good experiences. I've never you know, I've been
messaged by people on Instagram when we put this up.
He said that they've shown up to people's houses who
have agreed to sell it to him and they said, whoops,
it's gone. Oh really, Yeah, they've shown up at the Yeah,
(09:47):
when they agreed that that was what was going to happen,
they said, I sold it to someone else.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
That's incredible, but you can't do that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But Bailey is right. It's a common scam tactic to
say send me the money and I'll post it to you.
And the fact he didn't give you an address, I
can see Bailey may have a point there.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Maybe I should look out and see if the camera
comes back up. If it's a scam, it will come
back up.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
That's a good point. Adrian on thirteen one A six
five has a slightly different view there. Adrian, you're addicted
to buying and selling online. You think that this was legit.
You don't think there was a scam here at all.
Speaker 9 (10:19):
Evening Gents, Usually a scam will say put a deposit,
you know, But the thing is Zach if you were
already talking with a guy when another Zach came on,
it usually would show as a new person, so be like,
is this available, and then the conversation starts. So I
(10:42):
don't know, you know, maybe he was excited to sell
a vintage camera that he may have had on for
a few months or weeks or something.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
So maybe Adrian I was pretty sharp though it said,
you know it was like within at least within half
an hour, if not fifteen minutes of it upload, and
that's how you get.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
The good ones.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
How did you do you have alerts to.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
No, it was just coincidence. I'd checked ten times a day.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Though check for vintage cameras. I just hit refresh ten times.
You have too much time?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
No, But how often do you pull out your phone
and look at it?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Now?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Imagine every time you just quickly went on Marketplace and
typed in old camera.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
We're wrapping up with Georgia up thirty one A six five.
You've got a different theory on this Georgia. You don't
think Zach was scammed necessarily. You think the seller might
have had a change of heart. What's your opinion?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Yeah, maybe maybe if he had the camera after all,
but maybe he decided, like not actually really like this camera,
I'm going to keep it and just pretend he spoke
to someone else and never happened.
Speaker 6 (11:43):
Now, Georgia, I don't mind that theory, and I would
be okay with that.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Why would you come up with this far bet story?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Then?
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Why wouldn't you just say that?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I don't know?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, See that's the confusing part.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Like, for every reason I can think of, I'm like,
but why didn't he just tell me? The only thing
I could think of is either it actually happened there
were two Zach's, or he wanted to sell it for
more money and he didn't want me leaving a bad review,
so he had to come up with a far fetched story.
Speaker 10 (12:13):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
We need to get onto this guy, but we need
to get onto him and get to the bottom of this.
We found him on Instagram. I won't give his details
out on the show, but I think we need to
pass this on to producer Claire and see if we
can get him on the show. And if the other
Zach exists, I want to speak to the other Zach too.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
He might be able to play. There's another Zach in
the city and the other Zach might sell it to you.
It's not dead. The dream is still alive. You're listening
to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 11 (12:47):
It's Zack and Dom sive second five second solo. Yeah,
whatever entertains you, come find it at Crown Sydney. Explore
Sydney's place to play at Crownsydney dot com.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It's pretty samp or we'll play a five seconds or
summer song. When it stops. You've got to give us
a five second solo, just a little bit of a tune.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It's that simple, and the one that impresses us the
most will get the double pass to go and hang
out with Luke Hemmings at the Crown Sydney Sweet Sessions Summer.
You are first s up if you're down your vocal
warm up summer. Oh yeah, all right, well here's the
it's gonna work summer. You're gonna hear the song playing
it is young Blood by five Sous. When it stops,
you take over sound good? Alright, yep, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
I'm just a dead man walking to but you need it, Yeah,
you need it all the time.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I committed to brought it back with the end.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, you know the little flutter early on. It was
like spoken word poetry.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, a little bit giggles a little bit, which I
understand happens. Yes, kend it feels a little silly. But
how much do you want these tics?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That's how it works. We'll go to l On thirty
one O six five, Contestant number two. L. You've heard
what Summer had to give? Do you reckon? You can
top it?
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
All right, L. Well, here's how it works. Yeah, you're
gonna hear young blood when it stops, you take over
for this double pass. Here we go.
Speaker 10 (14:22):
They want me out of your nose.
Speaker 6 (14:26):
I'm oh, yeah, a little bit of L.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I could hear the vocal range you had there. Are
we talking to a professional singer?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
No?
Speaker 6 (14:39):
No, maybe just a little bit of a run.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Yeah, it was stunning, wasn't it a bit Mariah Carey?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Like? Honestly there was some Mariah in there? It was
like the start you.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Do more a bit more like that dog?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (14:52):
But sometimes you sing on the show?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah? Never, never, willingly, Yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
Would like you to do a little bit more of
the kind of a vocal solo every now.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I think the last Shredded Dignity I've got left on
this show. Will stop me because you just like try.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
To hit the notes I do, and it looks like
you're concentrated, like.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
It looks like that's taking up a lot of the thought.
I want you just to lean into it and go free.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Thanks mate, Well, I appreciate you your voter of support.
We are currently playing five seconds solo here. This is
for a double pasta Crown Sydney's Sweet Sessions featuring Luke Hemmings.
Our last contestant is Kenny Kenny. You're not actually the
five sauce Fanny. This is you singing for your wife.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Do you know the song?
Speaker 7 (15:38):
Kenny?
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Oh yeah right.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I mean you sound like a no nonsense man, like
you just want me to start doing this, so why not?
Here we go.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
Well, I'm just dead man walking to night.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
You need it, you need it, all of it time.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Now.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
I appreciate that Kenny knew the words. That was a
little unexpected.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I've never heard that song sound slightly intimidating, though. Did
you feel slightly scared as Kenny was serenading us?
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I was not scared, No, I mean what made you fearful?
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It just sounded like there was something intimidating in the voice.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
No, I felt like that. Yeah, I'd invited the plumber
over and I was trying to work from home. Well,
they sung along while they fixed the tap.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Okay, well, look, only one of these three can take.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I mean, Summer.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Has a great name. To win a five seconds of Summer,
It's true. I think it's l I think was technically
the best singer.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
I liked Kenny's umph though, and also unexpected I liked
to hear a classic Aussie.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Male voice singing the songs.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
O mate, We've done sort of karaoke competitions on this
show for years and I've never heard anyone give it
as much as L gave it. Okay, I reckon, Ell,
you got the double part.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
You are absolutely welcome.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
El. You've been a Big five Sauce fan for a while.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Now, absolutely since I was like fourteen.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Have you seen them before?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
L only in the pub? Only in the pub?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Yeah, I bumped into.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Them at like a pub ages ago.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
But keenes film in clus this would be a little different.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Yes, I mean the Crown Sydney Sweet Sessions. It's like
going from the Adhouse to the Pandaus immediately. Our congratulations
we'll have another go to win in a double pass
to see Luke Hemmings at the Crown Sydney Sweet Sessions
tomorrow on the show.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
This is second Tom Zach.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
We are a few days post Eastern now Easter twenty
twenty five rapped up and something about Easter this year
has pissed me right off.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Yeah, you're really upset about it.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
You said East is one of your favorite holidays because
you went to the chocolate.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yeah, you're right, and this is related to chocolate. And
I don't go on many rants and rempair on this show,
but one thing that gets you fired up is chocolate eggs.
You've got a lot of opinions on them. I do.
And this year, I mean the whole country saw this.
This year, chocolate eggs were ridiculously priced.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Well, that's just cost of living, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Well they say that, I reckon. There's a whole bunch
of products though, that are just like, yeah, cost of
living up to you?
Speaker 4 (18:18):
True, because it's not.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Everything's gone up. Prove to me that Coco's gone up.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Why now is it plausible that the chocolate make has
heard that the cost of eggs is going up?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
And they go yeah, yeah, that includes ours as well well.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Possibly, mate, possibly, But I thought I had a little
life hack to get around this. You know, for years,
I mean we've joked about it in the past, but
for years I've had a bit of a strategy. In
the days after Easter Sunday, you hit up the supermarkets
clean up bargains. I in the past, I kid you not,
Australia have got a full sized Cadbury Easter Bunny three
(18:52):
days post Easter for a dollar fifty. Mate, they're costing
you like nine bucks those pre Easter those are the
dreamed Oh and I dream of them.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
I wait that long for the supermarket or like one
of your stores, like a Target came up.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Big W's a big W that one.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Yeah, I think that's the way to go, right, because
you've been on this bandwagon for years, and I thought
i'd take you up on it today.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
And I went to a course. I couldn't find one, mate.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
This is my rant, Okay, I am filthy about this.
I reckon within hours, maybe even on Easter Sunday itself.
I didn't check that day, but within hours of Easter finishing.
I don't know if they've just dumped them out the back.
I don't know what they've done. If they're holding them
till next year, I don't know what they're.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Doing, mate, Yeah, but there's none in the shops.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah. The odds that they sold out this year and
never have in the past, doubt it. I don't know
what's going on, but I'm so mad about it. And
are you suspect Yeah, yeah, something's going down? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
Something. And did you go to a few different supermarkets?
So you've just been to one.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I've tried numerous supermarkets and different chains over numerous days,
different chains, different days.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Did you try the department stores we're talking about, like, yeah,
I try to game up.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, nothing, mate, absolutely nothing. There was no bargain Easter
chocolate anywhere to be found in this last few days.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Wid isn't it?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Well, Like, even if it wasn't on sale, I'd still
expect a few buddies to be around.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
A couple left. What the odds that they perfectly timed
the amount that they needed perfectly counted? I mean, come on, I.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Guess they would have people.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
Yeah, it's really in their interest to make accurate guess
is how much people were going to spend? So yeah,
every other year possible, It's not impossible that they perfectly
guessed it.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Every other year they get it, they get it way off,
and this year they bang on. I know what it
is because it started to happen. And I've noticed this
in recent years with Christmas stuff too. You used to
be able to get a bargain Christmas tree three hundred
bucks down to like ninety bucks post Christmas. Suddenly it
gets to like December the twentieth, all the Christmas trees
are gone. Sorry, guys, well, like something fishy is going on,
(20:56):
but the bargain lover in me is mad about it.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Have you ever tried to buy a calendar in January?
You get laughed out of the door. Apparently you have
to buy them in September.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I'm just I don't know what's going on, but something
suss is at play. I don't know who's storing these
Eastern chocolates. I don't know. I mean, I'm just going
to throw this out there. Are they rebranding them as
Christmas chocolate eggs?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I think someone did.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Didn't they find that there was like a bunny that
was like repackaged a something?
Speaker 11 (21:24):
Right?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
This is it? I reckon elf.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
The repackaged an elf really, or vice versa, it'd probably
makes more sense of than Elf was repackaged as a
Easter bundy.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I just think the leftover easter chocolate in the past,
they'd sell it till it was all gone. Now they
get it back in a room and they do a
conference and they go, what can we make?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Could they melt it down and put it into block form?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
You know what? Probably I reckon there's a fair chance
that's exactly what's going on.
Speaker 6 (21:51):
And would you have a problem with that because the
chocolate is still staying in the such in the economy.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I'm just saying, are you telling me that in these
cost of living times? I can't get a cheap Easter
bunny days?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
That's what it's about, isn't it?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Like, because you've been getting cheap Easter eggs a year
after year, and then the year when you finally need it, Yeah,
you know, when the economy's just bang bang bang knocking
you down one thing after another, bills rant, and you're like,
can a man just get a cheap Easter bunny please?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
That's a little bit of relief. Where are the politicians
talking about this?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Mate? And you know what the elections. What next Saturday.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I'd heard any of them promise cheap no easter bunnies.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
The first of Albanesi and Dutton, who goes on air
telling me that they'll get me a kin to surprise
bunny for half price or less. You got my vote.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
This could be getting a bit deeper. Don we have
h Denise and Sydney.
Speaker 6 (22:44):
You were in a supermarket on Saturday nights, so not
even Easter.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
And what did you see?
Speaker 10 (22:49):
No, it was Easter Saturday. It's going to be closed
on Sunday. Masses of chocolate bunnies left, masses of everything,
like the whole aisle was still full of chop.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
All the little.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
Gadgets were gone, you know, all the little piney packs
and all the egg and spoon race things got loads. Yeah,
and all of the end of the aisles as well,
another stack. I said, oh god, here's.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
More, you know, and then it's all gone the next
day when they reopen.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Yeah, And my daughter and myself used to love a
bargain bunny. The next couple of days we get them
just because they were marked down.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know, we have to.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
You can't walk past the bargain bunny.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Well, we do it. Dorm and we'd just be chomping
on an ear leaving the supermarket, you know, so.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Using the correct term doing. I would like that to
catch up.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
But he has been known to snack on a bunny
throughout throughout the shopping center.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Chump on an ear, as Denise said, fascinating. So Saturday
night before close packed of Easter chocolate, packed to the rafters.
Monday morning gone.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Where did it go in that time?
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Something there a reverse Easter bunny somewhere on Easter Sunday
taking all the all the stock back.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Possibly look that in one day's excited. If anyone listening
at a supermarket can give us any sort of heads
up on where this chocolate's gone, we can give you
anonymous But we got to dig to the bottom of
this and figure out where all they just getted Easter
chocolate's gone. Nikki in Sydney, you used to work in
a supermarket. Nikki, you can be our insider here. What
are your things going on?
Speaker 8 (24:25):
Well, it is a Greek Easter a week later? What
does that mean they put the eggs away? They'll be
back out because they celebrate their Easter a week later.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well, why would they put them away? Then?
Speaker 8 (24:37):
Nick will just be that little bit longer. You'll just
have to wait just so after the Greek Easter and
then you'll find more Easter egg than the films.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
But I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
But that wouldn't explained previous years though.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
No, No, that's I understand that that's a thing, but
that doesn't explain the patterns in previous years, so you're.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Confusing it for a week later.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
No, man, I know the date. I haven't a learn
in my phone. Every year Easter Monday has an alert
go to the shops. You need to be reminded me.
Speaker 7 (25:08):
I do.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
It's an imare actually because he's the changes every year,
so I have to update when the day is going
to be.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
And you don't like give any more context to that.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
So you're wandering into the shop and you're like why
do I have to be here? And then you see
discounted eggs and you're like, thanks coning.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
We're asking for anybody's six five? Why is there no discount?
And what does it seem to me? No discount at
Easter chocolate on supermarket shelves post ease to this year?
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Where did it all go?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Weve got Phil in Melbourne. Phil, You've got a theory
on this, tell us what it is.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yeah, it's a pretty good theory in regards to opportunity
shops and food banks. I have a bit of inside
knowledge into that because we've still got a lot of
Christmas chocolate centers left, so I could always send you
a cop center.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Wait are you telling us, Phil, because in my mind
op shops sell old clothes and Zaclos, vintage cameras and
whatever else. Are you you know easter chocolate as well
at op shops?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Well, they all have food banks or they're related to
food banks.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Yeah, so it goes to.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
People in need.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Yeah, and then that gives the company a little bit
of a text incentive, I suppose, so everybody win.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
They can write something off right, So the chocolate company
companies love a right off.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
They do love a right off. So the chocolate companies
can say whatever's left goes to the food banks, we
get a tax right off, people in need get chocolate.
Everyone wins except Dom. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
What what you're going to fire up against the food banks?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's a hard position to take. I'll grant you that.
I was ready to go hard on just about it. Yeah,
food banks are hard.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
It's like a friend he did a documentary on this
and he went in and he ate so much that
some people missed out. He said, well, you probably didn't
actually need to take a meal.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
From someone else, but he said, I wanted it to
be authentic, like I actually was going to a soup
kitchen and we said yeah, but you went.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Back for third. That was a bit. Well, there we go.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
The Easter chocolate. The disc out an Easter chocolate is
it's gone to a good cause. So well, my stomach
might be rumbling, my heart is warm, and that's a
happy end of the story.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
You're listening to the Zag and Dom podcast.
Speaker 11 (27:24):
Go ahead, make my day.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Every single day is a holiday.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
We're trying to do our part to raise awareness of
lesser known days.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Each night I bring two to the show.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
We have to pick one each to become ambassadors for
hoping to get a few more eyeballs across these desks.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's the that's the hope of it, right
because we are here in the middle of Easter, Monday
or Monday, n Zac Day, Friday, the other days of
the week don't stand much of a chance unless we
can give them a boost.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Well, Wednesday, April twenty three, get ready because it's national
talk like Shakespeare.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Day to be or not to be?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Yeah, it's not a great example. Why not, Well, because
you know it's not a regular turn of phrase. You've
used the word doff a lot. I reckon. If you're
going to talk like Shakespeare every day.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Shall I compare you to a summer's day? Go ahead,
you might do.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Something like that. I thought you were complimenting me.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
A rose by any other name. Would it still smell
as sweet? Well maybe it's would smell ass sweet.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, I forget.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I don't think the idea is exhausted quotes.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I don't think though, that the idea is that you
quote shake.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I think that's a part of it.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I think the ideas you talk like Shakespeare.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Oh right, like old English?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
So we still would we have the ways you and
I would communicate. We're still talking about the radio show.
There's a doomb show just in old English?
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, okay, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Like? Shall I play a tune and then I would
fire off a song? Imagine if I mean? And you
could totally imagine some shows that would do this. If
we committed tomorrow night on the Whole Show to talk
like Shakespeare, I.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Don't think on the FM dial, Well, would they, I
hard have said some of the AM stations would.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
I think they just do that generally. They do whole segments.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
There is that guy, there is that guy we used
to know, did the segment about grammar on the ABC.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Roy and I think the big star over there.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Oh, Rolly Sussex is his name. You can look him up.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
He's and all the girls.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Honestly, when ROLLI used to walk into the building at
ABC where we were to do his weekly grammar segment,
people would faint.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Through the metamucilady. Hey, here's an interesting fact about Shakespeare.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Did you know this?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
Allegedly, according to the legend, Shakespeare was both This is
why it's celebrated on April twenty three, both born and
died on the same day.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
A three.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
Yeah, now that it's poetic. Wow, come in full circle.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Briefly I thought you meant like the same year, and
I was like, very prolific for a day of life. No,
I get you. Now that is interesting, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (30:10):
But I mean like it's hard because they don't know
the exact day he was born.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Oh well then that doesn't count.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
No, But they know the day that he was baptized,
which was the twenty six, and they figured, what's plausible
that was three days more?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, I mean sure. I feel like there's a bit
of poetic license being taken there, how fitting Oh so true?
So true?
Speaker 6 (30:30):
It is also tomorrow is well table tennis day?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Nice?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Yeah, the rackets out.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
What's the difference between table tennis and ping pong?
Speaker 4 (30:39):
I'm glad you asked. Yeah, no difference.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
Okay, I guess which name came first? Mmm, table tennis,
not ping pong. Ping pong Pong originally called ping pong,
then it changed the table tennis.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Where was it? Did it originate?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Where?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
And when? Do you think? What do I want to say?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I guess that ping pong originated in England three hundred
years ago.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Not bad England in Victorian times. There you go, right,
I imagine the name.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
Derives from the sound of the rackets that it doesn't
say that, But I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Well, you can't find anything on where the name ping
pong came from?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Well, I haven't looked specifically older than that. Yeah, well, yeah,
it has to be the name.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Where did the name ping pong come from? The name
ping pong for table tennis originated from the automatic p
X sounds the ball mate when bouncing off the racket
and the table. I feel like we're in one of
Rolly's segments. This is what he used to do, the
meanings of words, the etymology. He loved it.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Are you any good at table tennis?
Speaker 6 (31:57):
We used to play after the show a lot when
we had a table ten this table in the studio.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, we used to.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
This is the wee hours of the morning, Zach.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
For some reason, this clearly shows how much I mean
to you. You didn't go straight home to your your
wife at that time. You'd stay with me for hours, chatting,
playing table tennis.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Yeah, what just a bit of an ego boost to
get a win.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
You did win most of the time, but every now
and then I pipped you? Did you? Every now and
then I got you? Mate?
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Well, I don't remember. It meant nothing to me, all.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Right, which these days? Do you?
Speaker 7 (32:31):
Well?
Speaker 6 (32:32):
Yeah, I wouldn't mind doing a bit of table tennis tomorrow. Okay,
I might do a table tennis day.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
All right, I guess I'm talking like Shakespeare.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
