Speaker 1 (00:11):
I Heart podcasts, hear more kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the Free iHeart app A long time ago,
in a lab far far away, a science experiment went
horribly wrong. Out of that disk rolls.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Zach, and.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Have you ever.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Felt like this?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Like James, this happens when second Kiss.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
This is Zak and Don.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Oh four days Togo, Australia. This is very exciting election week, Zach.
It's a good one, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm just looking through the show planned for tonight, a
lot of election stuff, mate, Is it too much?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't think so. I think everyone's talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Really there's only like one or two segments that won't
have some type of connection to the election.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, don't say that then, someone who doesn't care about
the elections probably tuning out right now.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But I think our take will be one of the
every man I.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Think so too.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, you don't even need to be interested in the election.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
No, no, no, you could have. You could have no
interest in politics, and this is your show on the
flip side if you are interested.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, we're also the show for you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Really, it's a one show fits all scenario here.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well we got Huey, Yeah, the TV chef from the
two thousands and nineties, actually coming up on the show tonight.
He is doing something quite interesting to do with the
election this Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's an Uber Eats Hueye collab.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, and last night we have official confirmation that we
broke this on the show. Yes, it sounded too good
to be true. So we're going to have a follow
up on whether or not Huey, the TV chef from
the early two thousands Channel ten three thirty in the
afternoon wearing the suspenders, will be delivering sausages to people
this Saturday.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Ruma Huey's famous trick for every recipe that he cooked.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Had a bit of butter and if there's any issue,
add more. But it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Legitimately hate you. He looked every recipe. There was a
lot of winking at camera in Hue's cooking adventures. Well,
can't wait to have hue join us on the show shortly.
Also coming up on this show, Zach, it is Tuesday night,
which means it is freedom night. That's the night where
I'm allowed to run free. No one can cut off
my ideas like you normally do.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Hr said, we need to have a segment where Dom
can air some of these ideas. He needs to get
them out, so we bury them deep in now we
don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, late at night on Tuesday night, you told me
that's prime listening slot. You told me that's the best
lot of the week. That the ratings had showed us
that after nine o'clock on a Tuesday is when we
have most people in cars listening.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What are they going to get tonight, dummy?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well, what they're going to get tonight? Mate? Do you
know we're only a couple of days off hitting May.
That's right, Winter's only a month and a bit away
getting cooler. The cold air is here, and I want
to put that to the test. Well, what are you
laughing about?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The famous time to talk about window when it's a
month in a bit of way.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But that's where the temperatures start to turn. It's you
start to feel that you won't need to get the
cardigan out. It's a bit chilly at the moment. We're
going to be talking about dropping evening temperatures on the
show in Freedom a bit later on after this, though, Zach,
there is something that every Australian could do on Saturday
that could see them on the wrong side of the
(03:37):
law something to do with the election that could see
the government chasing you up.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
The Zach and Tom podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It is election time, Zach, and you know, it's the
election that you get actually a little bit interested in
because there's, let's be honest, there's the state elections where
people follow a little bit for premiere, and then there's
the city council elections, which are easily forgotten, let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, and often you don't know who your counselor is,
like that guy, yeah, I haven't seen them in the
last three years.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, And then you look it up and you realize
basically all their responsible for is the biddens they get
given the biddens.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And I think fence disputes.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Okay, that's the two big two. That's the big two.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Like if you if your tree goes over someone else's fence, yeah,
better call up the local counselor.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Right, so that they sort of deal with the current
affair level disputes. Really and but this is the big one, oh,
the federal election mate Alban Easy versu Dutton. And you know,
I think all across the country you can feel the
anticipation for election day.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
One of the things that separates our country from other countries,
is we have compulsory voting. You have to vote or
else you get a fine. Yep, that was what we thought.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Well that's what we thought until we were talking to
produce a clear earlier. And this is what surprised us,
because I mean, I'm planning to vote. I can't wait
to exercise my my democratic FREEDOMZ that it's important this stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I've already voted, look at you go.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And I also can't wait to stop by the sausage,
sizzle store, the cake store. It's a special day. But
apparently not everyone in this country feel this way, Is
that right, Producer Claire.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I want to say that I do. I mean I
don't enjoy it, but I do vote. But there was
maybe one particular time where I may have forgotten to
forgotten to vote.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I mean, how do it? Was this a federal election?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
It was a federal election.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And then do you think it hinged on your vote?
When you're following the results, imagine if it were changed
because of you?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, what year?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Eighteen year old me? So like twenty eleven, twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Tray, you would have been in the twenty thirteen election.
Carod could have had another term. If you'd voted, if
you'd voted that day, Tony Abbott would never have gone
in clear Carod would have gone around again.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Guys. I had a deliver of my own that day.
My brother had planned a birthday party and hadn't told
my mum there were eighty guests coming, gotcha?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Okay, so what you're running around the house getting things
ready for this birthday exactly completely forgot.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
If you don't vote, you get a fine, though, right,
how much.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Is it at the time, I think it was eighty dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Okay, significant, that's not nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Paid the eighty dollar fine, I imagine I.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Said I was working, and I did not lie, and
I did not get fined.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Hang on, hang on, but you weren't working?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
I was. I was working on a birthday party.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Oh I hope the AEC is listening.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
She's here, guys, But hang on, can you just say
you're work here?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
They don't ask for any backup documentation.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Look, I can't talk on behalf of other people. All
I can tell you is that I never got followed
up after that. And I am going to shut my
menal off.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I mean, this is out because I thought and I mean,
obviously there's whole bunch of reasons that you should vote.
It's a your writer as a citizen, it's your duty
as a citizen. But I would have thought if you
missed it and you're getting fined, you would have needed
to go to court almost to prove yourself that you
didn't have to pay that fine.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I reckon, we should have a crackdown. What do you
mean on non voters? I think one of the politicians
talking about that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I couldn't agree more. And it should be retrospective. Let's
go back to twenty thirty.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
You know I still like voting. Meil, please don't stop me.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah. Look thirty one oh six five. We're wondering, is
clear the only case that this has ever happened? Or
is this because.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Did you Here's what I'm interested in. Yes, did you
have to pay the fine? Because I've heard rumors that
they don't enforce it. Yeah? Right, okay, but maybe they do.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Thirteen one oh six five? Have you forgotten to vote
in the past, and did you have to pay the fine?
Has anyone ever actually paid a fine for not voting
on election?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Imagine if you could do that for other fines. Yes, yeah,
I get a parking fine, yeah I was working, Yeah,
I was working, and they you don't have to pay it.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Then.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's a bit like you know when a parent gives
a threat that you know they're never going to follow
through on. Like I remember when my parents used to
pull out the whole where you weren't getting any presents
at Christmas.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You're like, good one, because I've already seen him in
the cupboard. What are you going to do? Take them back?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Exactly right, So they haven't thought that through at all.
We're asking on thirteen one oh sixty five, have you
ever actually paid the fine for not voting? Is this
actually something that's ever being enforced? Adam in Sydney, I'm
thirty one oh six five. Have you ever paid the fine? Adam?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Mate, never? And how many times have you not voted?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Well, I'm thirty eight now.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, So if you've never voted, are you enrolled? Do
you get a fine?
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Every year I get a letter saying you need your details?
You're not officially enrolled, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I wonder if you never voted? Yeah, even know that
you haven't voted.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's a little bit like you can't get me over here.
Do you know what I mean. It's like you're not
even on the books. They can't touch you. That's interesting though,
because you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
See, I don't think Adam's actually received a fine. They
he said, he's getting letters to say how you need
to enroll. Yeah, that's not a fine.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Vanessa in Brizzy on third in one six five. Someone
in your life got a fine for not voting? Vanessa,
who was it?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Well, it was my grandmother that my grandmother's passed away,
So how she's supposed to actually, you know, pay for
something that well, she's dead, so pretty.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Good excuse for not voting as far as excuses go,
it is. It is right up there, Vanessa. So what
she passed away? How long before the election?
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Probably a good three years before the actual election itself.
Wow that now, Yeah, it's like when we actually, you know,
mark our name off the roll and I actually saw
my grandmother's name down there, is like if that's my grandmother,
I said, she's gone, you know, she's passed away, And
the lady just looked at me as like, well, how
in the world she's supposed to vote if she's not here?
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Anyway, she actually got a fine in the mail, and yeah,
we actually rang them up and said to it was like, well,
you know, she's passed away, but we had to actually
prove that she passed away, so obviously give him a certificate.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Okay, so hang on, you had to prove that your
grandmother had passed away. But our producer, all she had
to say was I'm working, and they took her word
for it.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
That's outrageous. Here's Vanessa having to dig up a death certificate. Yeah, well,
Claire just goes nah, it was working, and they said
that's good enough for us.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I wonder if it's because it wasn't necessarily about getting
the grandma other out of the fine, but it's about
removing someone from Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Possibly possibly, but again I mean that's someone who didn't
have to pay the fine. I guess technically that's what
we're hearing you. If anyone who six five, we want
to know, has anyone ever actually had to pay the
fine for not voting? Do they ever actually follow through?
We have aerin in Sydney. Aaron, you didn't vote? What
did they do? How did it play out?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Guys, Well, I didn't vote and they sent me a
letter saying you didn't vote, so you have to pay
this fine. I didn't pay the fine. I just ignored
it and they suspended my life.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
They suspended your driving license.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
See well it was only my learners at the time,
I was just nineteen. But still I had to pay
the fine. Then I had to pay the admin cost
because they didn't pay the life.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So they said you another letter, did they saying like
your license has now been suspended.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, Wow, that's a pretty good incentive.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I guess this, I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I guess we're gallivanting around, yes, thinking we had found
a loophole. They've got our licenses. This is I forgot
about that.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
The federal government does have a bit of power. Yeah,
and clearly they're happy to use it in various instances.
I wonder if all the things they could pull out,
I wonder why they'd go driving license because it's what
they can control. They control other parts of our lives.
What your tax you just got to pay more tax
or something. They could chuck ten grand on your tax
or mate, when you do your tax return, just check
the fee on there, the fine on there. Just interesting.
(11:56):
They went to the Department of Transport, which I think
is generally a state government level thing. Isn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I think the license is national, right, isn't it? Because
you can drive all around the country.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Actually I'm not sure, but it
does sound like they're a bit more serious on jac
the fines up then we initially thought, I mean, if
they're asking someone whose grandmother's passed away to prove the
death certificate and they're suspending Errand's license for not voting,
maybe this is actually something they do follow up.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
So what happened with Claire's then?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, I don't know what are you making?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Working?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah? Now you know what I reckon? We should because
Claire Zack can I were good citizens.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, I think you should pay a fine.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, I think so do. I think we can reach
out on behalf of you to the AEC.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
She wasn't actually working, she ow bucks.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Or you have record on air that Claire said she
was at a party.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
It's working, Okay. Eighty people at a house is a lot?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, no, it is a lot. They hear you. All
I'm saying is good luck driving for the next six months,
because I think your license might be suspended.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Welcome to Day Bet.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
This is the radio game taking the world by storm.
We give you a date throughout history, You tell us
what of the week it.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Was, and you wear It's that simple. You got a
one in seven shot. You just got a channel. What
day of the week you think it might have been? Zach?
And we did think thing. As it was election week
this week, it only made sense to go back to
some election years throughout history.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
That's right. So our first year is for Cameron in Sydney. Cameron,
it's twenty nineteen. Do you remember all the days from
that year? No?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That really, mate, I'll have a real.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
It's only five years ago.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Yeah, I would have thought you'd still have those fresh
in the memory, Cameron. That's a funny thing there. But anyway,
well look here's that work. Zach's about to give you
a date from twenty nineteen. You have basically a second
or two to tell us a day of the week.
That means there's no googling, there's no time for mulling around.
You've got to be instant with your reply. Are you
up for it?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
All right, let's bring it on, Cameron. What day was
April tenh twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It was a Wednesday. You're kidding me it was a
Wednesday because that's my daughter's birthday.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Oh wow, unbelievable. Do you actually remember it or you're
just guessing? I'm good with my kid birthdays?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
That's incredible? Wait she was Was she actually born that year?
Speaker 7 (14:34):
No, she's born in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Wow, but you just remembered that year we celebrated on
a Wednesday. I mean, this is the first one we've
had in day Bet in over a month. Za, congratulations.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
What do you have for camera and done?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Well? We don't really have much in the way of
prizing at the moment. What well, we have one jackpot prize, mate,
I was saving that for a special occasion. You want
to give the headphones away? Do you want to give
the headphones away? All right, Cameron, we have done a
radio show before we had a horn prize. Producer Clara
and I had a meeting and we decided we weren't
going to give the headphones away. You weren't in the meeting.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I don't think Claire was on board.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Claire, were you in that meeting with me?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I'm pretty clean on a jack pot?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Why don't we play an extra special round this week?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:15):
If anyone else also gets the date. They go head
to head with a brand new date. Put it back
on Zack to find another date.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
The issue is only have one pair of face so
we can't. But then we've got two other calls. You
want to play baby? They were a bit tight on price.
I just did mate. People know sad sentence. I've ever heard.
It's costill living crisis and we're all impacted at Cameron,
you can have it. Hang on a second, let me
do the credit. We'll give you the audio technic as Cameron.

tell was we definitely have a prize.

You have to answer instantly? What day was Feb nineteen,
two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Thirdday?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Sorry it was it was a Monday, and Dom has
a sigh of relief.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Well, except we've still got Jared on thirty one oh
six five. And this was because it's an election themed special.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I thought, I've got a little fact about Feb nineteen,
two thousand and sevens what do you got the day
Tumbler was launched?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Nice still kicking Tumbler.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Is it still around? I don't think so. Tumble's done.
One of the first platforms to drop the last vowel.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
They might have been the trendsetter because they were a
micro blogging site, so I guess they were compressing it
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh nice, good stuff. Well, Jared in Sydney on thirty
Monday six five is our last day bet contestant and
in an election special, Zach, we wanted to get back
to the year of the very first federal election.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Your year's nineteen oh one, Jared, Is that one important
year mate. Yeah, yeah, we're talking to you right now, Jared.
About ten minutes ago, Jared, you called a radio station.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Do you remember I was to you guys?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, all right, Jared, do
you know the game. We're going to give you a date.
You got to tell us what day of the week.
It was the fourth of July nineteen oh one, alright, Saturday.
Unfortunately Jared it was Thursday.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Thank the Lord for that, because we were really in
a tight bit. If look, you freaked out over nothing,
but I didn't know it was over nothing at the time.
I knew he had one prize and three callers. I
was doing freaks out. I don't freak out.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I saw you having that conversation with Claire. You were
freaking out.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I wasn't freaking out. I very calmly said, there's only
one prize, so let's just play for fun tonight. And
then we come on Aaron Zach says, what does he want?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Tom, You can't have a competition without prices.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, well mate, you tell that to the prizing department,
because it seems that you go to them, Yeah, and
you grovel and you begging, you are Yeah, I expect.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
You to do that for the show.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah all right. Well, I mean, well, the other way
you can do it in radio is if you commit
to giving something away.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, well, that's another option.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
They generally just said it on air. They generally have
to follow through audit and they don't like you for it.
But we can do that. We should just give a
house away. One time. We just said to someone you
want a house. I mean, we'd lose our job.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
What I think about you? Yep, when you said earlier
the cupboards are a bit bare at the moment. You
care more about bureaucracy and admin than you do about
doing a good show. Prizes come first.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I sincerely apologize, and I'll make sure that I've topped
up the prize cupboard for the next time we played David.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
This is second, Tom Zach.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Last time on show, you were telling us that you
had made a discovery on the Instagram account of a
TV chef, beloved TV chef Huey Hewitson.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
That's right, Dom, I saw an announcement that Huey was
teaming up with Uber Eats to have home delivered sausage
sizzles for the election on Saturday. EARTHO, this can't be true. Now,
how has no one ever thought of doing this before? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And how has this come about without us hearing about it?
How does this snuck up on us? Well, we said
we would do some digging today. We said we would
get to the bottom of this Australia and we have
got to the bottom of it because joining us on
the show right now is Huey himself. Hello, Huey, goodo.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Guys. How are you? Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, we're so much better for having you on the show.
You were having your second appearance on the Zach and
Doom Show, so it's lovely to have you on. Can
you take us into what's going on here? Is it true?
Are there going to be home delivered sausages on the weekend?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Absolutely? But somebody did ask me whether that I was
going to get on the bike and deliver them myself.
I have to tell you I'm not going to do.
But I'm pretty excited about it because you know, the
whole thing about elections is the sausage sizzle, isn't it? Yes,
And because so many people have voted beforehand, and also
(20:24):
there are a lot of booze that don't actually have
sausage sizzles. Uber eats and I decided that, hey, we
better fill the gap.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it. It just means knowing
missus out on the democracy sausage Hue. There are some
logistical questions that Zach and I have, you know, around
the transportation of the sausage. How long does it stay
fresh for? Have you worked with the team of Uber
Eats on this.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Absolutely? They have been delivered in special boxes and they'll
be fast. It's everything from Uber Eats as fast. We
know that, so it's going to be good. And they've
been cooked in special Uber Eats kitchen, so you know
we're looking good.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Now do you have any opinions yourself on what makes
a perfect sausage sizzle? I think that the barbecue needs
a little bit of charcoal on it, like it needs
to be a little dirty dirty.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
I hadn't thought of.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
You taste the You taste the remnants of barbecues past.
It develops a history, that's what happens.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
It's like a so you don't clean the barbecue. Is
that what you're trying to tell me?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
A lot of people, you know, people think some people
like sauce, some people like onions. How do you like it?
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Well? I like it with lots of sauce. Actually, they
asked me because they are offering three sauces, barbecue, mustard,
and tomato, you know, the classical tomato, and as an extra,
there's also onions. So we're looking pretty good. I actually
like tomato, sauce and mustard, so I'm I'm a difficult customer.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Here you go the double sauces. I kin'd of that
would be flavors all over the shop. Does that work?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Of course it doesn't, particularly if you haven't wrecked the
sausage like you guys want to do. I mean, do
remember Uber Eats. They're not going to massacre the sausages.
They're going to cook them beautifully. They're going to be
perfectly cooked like everything you get from Ubery, it's going
to be good stuff.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And look they're three dollars fifty each on uber Eat. Yeah,
three fifty cheaper.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
And no delivery, no delivery charge, and all the money
goes to the Red Cross.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
I mean to get me to put my sausage braces
on and do the end we had we had to
do something that was special, and I love the idea
of it going to the Red Cross, and it's certainly
not expensive. I mean the only the only thing about
it is that it's only available from twelve noon until
they run out. It's on election day itself, so you
(22:59):
better get it early because I think they're going to
be a big hit.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I think that will be cheaper than some schools.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
No, no, we're not not comparing it to the school
to think about the ones, the places that have the
school sausage sizzles. I mean that money goes to the
community help. And you know we're not going to get
into that. Yes, talking about as places that don't have
a sausage sizzle and all those people who actually voted beforehand,
(23:29):
they can't win out. They can't lose out on a
sausage on election day just because they voted three weeks ago,
you know.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And this is the tragic situation that happened to me,
Huey the last election. I went to vote and my
local school had no sausage sizzle, had no bake sale.
I went home hungry. I'd save room in the stomach
for it. So Uber Eats have come to the rescue here.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I'm just curious because this is a debate I've had
with Zach before how many exercide.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
It is a classic part of voting, isn't it. You
go and do you go and do your duty and
you always have a sausage. Now, Uber eats is filling
in the holes.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, I agree, And look why can I've had this
debate before or about how many sausages is too many?
Because I can easily polish off three or four in
a sitting. Well, what do you reckon, Huey?
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Oh, I think that's a bit much for me. A couple,
I think, I think on I think on election Day
I'll be ordering a couple.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, we have two hands for a reason, one in each.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
What it is? I knew there was a reason for
that anyway. I mean the Democracy sausage is alive and kicking.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I love it. I love it. Look at what you
can do to celebrate this election day from noon onwards.
You can get a sausage on aber Eats the three
dollars fifty. Hue is the man alongside eber Eats helping
bring this to Australia.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Huey, I feel like you need to do is just
open up uber eats app and search Democracy Sausage.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
There we go, beautiful, Hueie. We are so grateful for
all you're doing to our to help keep this institution
of Australian politics alive. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
It is thank you guys. Have a great life.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Zack and Tom podcast. We're letting Dom's ideas run wild
this is Free Dom book.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
We got so sick of saying no to Dom's ideas
that we gave him a little section in the show
where he can do whatever he wants. Usually we all
have to agree on ideas yep, me producer Claire Dom.
But right now he can do whatever he wants and
he has a little grin that's across his face because
he loves this time of week.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I do love it, mate, And something I love most
about it is.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
You know me.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I love going hyper specific to what people are doing
right now, what their current experience of life is like.
Because so after you tune into the radio and it says,
you know, something like when did your ex break your
heart on your birthday? Give us a call?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Now that sounds really specific.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, well, well, but do you know what I mean?
It's like, tell us one of your stories from the past.
Very rarely does a phone jopic on the radio say,
tell me about your life this instant right now? Do
you know what I mean? I've not read this. No, no,
stick with me any think the else. When I was
driving around, before I had a radio show of my own,
I'd drive.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Around, question do you think about what you're going to say?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
It's mostly stream of consciousness. Before I had a radio show,
I'd drive around at night and I'd listen and I'd think,
right now, I'm feeling the cold. There, I can see
the street lights, there's cars next to me. Oh weird,
this place is opening anywhere.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
My point is like one of Trump's rally.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
No I'm saying, I'd be I'd be having all these
experiences and thoughts and observations, and then I'd tune into
the radio and they'd say, oh, give us a call. Now,
what gig did you want to go to? But you
missed out? And I'd be like, well, that's interesting, but
who's talking about my current experience? Well, we are on
the Zach and Doom show right now, because it's getting
this as a long lead, and I'll give you that,
(27:05):
but it's getting chili zac. It's almost May. May is
nearly upon.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Usking six minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
The temperatures are starting to drop around Australia. Right so,
right now, you and I are here in this radio
studio and you know it's nice temperature, the heat's onmost
What is the idea thirteen one oh six five. What
temperature does your car currently say? I want to get
the lowest temperature on a car thermometer in my country.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Just come out of the opener and say that.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Because it needed to set the scene, mate, the story
needed some background because now people came along for the
whole ride with us. Thirte in one o six five.
I want to know. I want to try to find
the coldest temperature that your car is currently saying in
the country. So I reckon if you're seeing anything under
what eighteen nineteen degrees on that carthamometer thirteen one oh
(28:00):
sixty five, give us a call. Have a look now,
see what it says, Give us a call and what
we can do. Mate. It's like a real life, real
time sort of weather under up.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, this show goes to Brisbane. I imagine Brisbane isn't
going to have the coldest temperature now, but.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You never know. There's some places you may be listening
into Woomba. It's when we can get chili up in
there in the Rangers.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
It go to Sydney and Melbourne. I'm sure wouldn't Melbourne
be the.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Coldest place you could be listening rurally in Sydney. I
don't know, mate, Temperatures fluctuate wildly.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You can just looked it up. Yeah, it's not particularly
cold in Melbourne tonight. There we go.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That's what you need to know, mate.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
So is that the end of the segment.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, no, no, it's not the end of the segment. I'm not
saying it's going to be cold, right, I'm just saying
I'd like to find the coldest temperature.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
What I'm saying is I think it's going to be
something like, yeah, fifteen.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I reckon, we can get lower. I don't know. I mean,
I'll start with a fifteen, with an eighteen. If we
get under if anyone currently has a carthmomentor under ten
degrees and lo my mind, yeah you actually will it
would it'd be while, But I'm not expecting that that's
like your jackpot anything under eighteen nineteen. We get us
started look thirteen one, A six five. We got Lauren
(29:14):
in Melbourne. What's your Cartha mometer saying Lauren.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Okay, well, I just left work.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
When I was in Croydon it was thirteen. But I'm
heading into Ferntry Gully and it's just flicked to twelve.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Wow, we've got a twelve degree as you go down
the gully. I guess it's in the name.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, it's a bit cooler.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Tracy and Melbourne. Can you beat twelve? Tracy?
Speaker 7 (29:36):
Yeah, I'm sitting on eleven at the moment.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Oh my goodness, we're down to an eleven degrees.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
You can't tell me that's not interesting because there's people
listening right now driving around all around the country looking
at their carth the mometer isn't going eleven.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
That's not lightly less than what I'm experiencing now. The
only way this would be half interesting is if you
did it on like the coldest night of the year.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Good call, make an oat producer, C level bring it back?
All right, we're going to bring it back.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
And I would want to see minus zeros.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Minus zeros it doesn't make any sense under zero. Yeah,
well maybe we'll get that. We're wrapping up though, we
have one more call. Can we go lower? I'm thirty one,
A six five ers who try to find the lowest
temperature in the country right now, Emily and Melbourne, what
is your carth the moment of saying, Emily, it's saying
ten degrees tenwies.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Like, it's not even a news story that's particularly cold
at the moment. There's really no reason why we're doing that.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Because the temperatures are dropping. Emily, this was this is
the stuff people are thinking about, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah? Oh jeez, that was a tough tone to take
from Emily. Like I could hear Emily rolling her eyes,
and she's someone who's called up for the segment.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
So she wasn't rolling, mate. That was sincere. Why do
you always assume the worst in people? That was a
sincere Yeah, yeah, yeah, loving it. I reckon. You may
laugh as much as you want. I reckon. Right now
people are listening and going. None of the other radio
stations right now are speaking.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
In my experience, if I'm honest, I'm genuinely concerned about
what the state of freedom.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You say this all the time, like you try to
do a State of the Nation's speech and try to
say something this week.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, I think after the radio ratings come out, yep,
freedom is going to be first to go.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Hey, producer Claire. They break down the ratings minute by minute,
don't they? Yeah, loosely. Can we find out exactly what
happens between nine and nine thirty pm on a Tuesday
compared to the rest of the show?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Will you respect the findings of the Nielsen ratings?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Mate? If the ratings say that Freedom is a significant dip,
I'll drop it on the flip side. If we go
up in Freedom times. No, if we go up in
Freedom Times, you'll commit to keeping it on the show
forever for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, yeah, I'll do the rest of the year.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Well, well, it's not often shows talk about the ratings
on air in a minute by minute breakdown, but we're
going to do that to figure out what's going on
with Freedom. And if it's next week.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
It is election week, Zach and we did realize recently
you have a little bit of a superpower for figuring
out which political parties fictional TV characters would vote for.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, throw any at me and I can tell you.
And it don't even have to be Australian either.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
No, that's it, which is why we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Who would they vote for?
Speaker 1 (32:35):
We got to know who would they vote from the
Zaca Damp Show. Now, this all began when you and
your socials picked which political parties Bluey characters would vote for.
How does that receive any Bluey fans getting hateful in
the commons?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
No, most people agreed. I thought it would be a
bit risque, pointing out that Pat Lucky's dad, Louis Neighbor
would be a one nation supporter. But most people said, like, yeah,
actually that tracks.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah. Yeah, well look, I thought what we do tonight
is I'd throw you characters from The Simpsons and I
want you to tell me where you think Simpson's characters
would vote.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
In the Australian election. Obviously, so that if the Simpsons
lives in Australia, who vote for and.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We're kicking it off with Ned Flanders, Well that's easy.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, family first.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Does that still exists? Yeah? I think in some areas
he'd almost run as a candidate.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, probably because he's like the church going yes, kind
of do good a guy.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I wonder like how Ned's gone in recent years because
in the nineties that was kind of seen as like
a very wholesome thing.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, you're saying he's a Trump voter.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Now, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I reckon he probably is.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I don't know. I mean Simpsons is still around. We
could check in on Ned.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, I doubt Simpsons have gone too far into revealing
the various characters.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
So you don't think he's wearing a Maga hat.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Probably not. But do I think the real life person
would be sympathetic to Trump? Yes? I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But we're talking Australian politics. You have family first.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
I think I'll give you that. This is a hard
one about Mo who runs Moe's.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Tavern trumpet of Patriots. Don't you think he's got the text?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
He's got the he's got the text. Do you think
thee Yeah, he said they make some good points. I mean,
I guess, so I guess because.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Think about it. What was the big thing with Mo
is he would get prank calls.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's such a good He's been getting.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Pranked for years. Probably he probably doesn't even realize what's
a prank anymore, what's in a real court.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
He'd always fall for the pranks, So I guess he
falls for Clive's text and then probably walks out of
the election booth. You're going, why are you little? And
getting mad at Clive. I don't realize he got he got.
What about groundskeeper Willie to keep a willy voting for?
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Well, he's a Scotsman, is so is he voting? Is
he a citizen? He's got voting?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Right, there are all Australians in this scenario.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Well he's a working man. Yeah, he's down to earth
kind of guy. True, he has a little bit of
an anger streak. I'm just trying to think of his
attributes and whether they align with anyone. I think the
fact that he's working class would be labor.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, labor. I thought maybe greens because he's in the gardens.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
All night, groundsekeeper Willie. Are you serious he's not a greenie?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
No, that's true. All right, I'll give you that. I
reckon labor is a good one. What about mister.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Burns, Well, mister Burns, he's rich. He runs the nuclear
power plant. And who do we know that's rich and
wants nuclear power in Australia and is also bored? Wait,
hang on, are we sure that mister Burns isn't Peter
(35:55):
Duddam's dad.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
They have similar interests it see.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, there's some certainly some parallels there. So you're saying L.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
And B for mister burn liberals.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Yeah, yeah, I get that, all right. One last one
Grandpa Simpson.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Grandpa Simpson, Well he's a boomer. Yeah, he's an older
generation is he's a little bit likes to go on
a rant, likes occasionally. Yeah. I think he believes in
the year's gone by, so one nation. Grand Yeah, he
(36:27):
thinks it was better back in the day kind of thing. Yeah,
it's like the world's changing, and I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I see that. I actually think you've you've nailed this.
I think all five of those is exactly where those
people would vote. And I do think there are concerning
leaks between mister Burns and Peter Dunton that we should
investigate further.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
This is second off. Go ahead, make my day?
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Dom, We're trying to do our part for lesser known holidays.
We're trying to raise awareness. So each night I bring
two shows. I bring two days to the show, each
occurring in the next twenty four hours. You and I
have to pick one each to become ambassadors for.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Now the thirtieth of April tomorrow, the end of April. Mate,
you're really into the ear when you hit may, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
What have we got for? It's like right in the middle,
isn't it really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
It feels like it feels like what do we got?
Speaker 2 (37:23):
National bubble tea day?
Speaker 1 (37:26):
You're a bubble tea man?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Never had one?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
These are like the ones that you see in the
westfield everywhere, and they like put the they kind of
have they put a seal on top, they do, and
then you've got to pierce it with your spra How have.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
You never They've been around for fifteen years. How have
you never even had a curiosity? Had a bubble tea?
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Doesn't seem appealing to me? What is it? Sweet tea?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
But there's all sorts of flavors.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
It's not tea or it is tea, all sorts of
tea flavors.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
I've not had many. It's not my favorite thing, but
I would have had seven or eight over the journey.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
And they've got like balls in them.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Don't They talking about the pearls. And that's an optional
extra that.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I'm reading it here, Tapioka pearls.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, it's it's an optional extra.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Bobba ta producer class. What are you saying, Claire, what
boba boba?
Speaker 5 (38:15):
What's that's the little circles?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Okay, Okay, I didn't know that either, But I'm just
shocked you haven't even tried the thing, mate. I regon
you'd like it.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Do you actually think I would like it?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I don't, because you like the most bitter, pure black coffee.
Zach's flavor. Zach's flavor palette is like his personality, bitter
and gray.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Well, maybe there could be a reflection there. I think
there is no. But I think I've been saying to
you about black coffee for ages. Once you get used
to it, it doesn't taste bitter.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Yeah, you can taste all the different flavor prisoners talk about.
Once you get used to prison, it's actually not that bad.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Apparently bubb Tea got it start in Taiwan in the
nineteen eighties. That doesn't truck me. And then it got
to America in the nineteen nineties, so it took a
while to take off here.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
I remember the first bubblety I had. I was in high.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
School, okay when that far back?
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah, and I was not okay with the balls. No,
like the first time said, I'm just saying the deckster
was really uncomfortable. I didn't enjoy when one of them
came up through the straw. I did not enjoy that.
(39:34):
It ruined my tea. And I've since had them without
the balls, they're much nicer.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Are you trying to make that sound uncomfortable?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I'm not. I'm telling you the truth of the story.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
It just sounds very sexual.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Well I didn't mean it too. You're reading it in
a certain way that I never intended. What else is
it tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (39:57):
It's golf day.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Oh you're a big golfer. Weren't you?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Have I got to write that? You're almost pray?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
You always say this, I was not a child prodigy.
I played golf as a child.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
There was.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I never said anything about my ability.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I think I know what it is there. I never
knew a kid who played golf.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
So it does feel a bit richy rich, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
So in my mind the fact you played golf as
a kid, Yeah, I think I've just made that out
to be child prodigy because because you didn't just go
generally when you're ten years old for a hit at
the at the eighteen.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
No, my dad was very strict on the rules. I
had to like, rake the bunkers correctly, don't walk, don't
make sure your shadows not over the hole, because I
caddied as well. No, my dad was a keen golfer
and he wanted company, and I think he wanted to
introduce me to the thing he loved.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
You still into golf these days?
Speaker 2 (40:50):
No, it's too hard. It's so hard.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
It is a really hard and frustrating.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
It takes so long to get good, so long, and
then it's the type of thing that you played for
four hours and one two minute section can ruin your
whole day, like it stuff's up your whole score.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah. No, it's not fun at all. So I'm interested.
Do you reckon one hundred twenty years time you reckon?
Golf still around?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Yeah? Definitely?
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Well, because it's been around for so long already, I
think it would be one of the oldest sports.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
But it's a new generation getting into golf, or do
you wake up and just get into gold.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
I think the thing that will get golf is the land.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
The land is just going to become more and more extensive, right, Yeah,
think about how big a golf course is you can't
build a new golf course, can You would have to
be out in like way way away from the city.
Speaker 6 (41:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Yeah, it's a good point. Golf courses will realize how
much money they're sitting on with their land.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
And how much they'll get for apartments. Yes, well maybe
that will start.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
You can build you can wear the whole suburb on
a golf course easily.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah. If you look at them on Google Earth, it's
it's remarkable. You can build an entire suburb on that
golf because it doesn't have to be eighteen holes. Now,
I guess that's just the tradition.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Maybe they'll start shaving a few holes off, yeah, right,
nine whole courses like oh, this one's only three holes.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah. I mean, maybe we just give up golf and
go to mini golf. Yeah maybe that maybe that's the
future of golf.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
I don't think that's what we're celebrating.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
On golf Day, they well, which one do you want?
Speaker 6 (42:20):
Mate?
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Which one are you gonna take? I reckon you should
take you.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
I'll take bubble Tea because I've got a bit of
a childhood in golf and you can catch up on
some Yep, I'll go do I'll do eighteen holes tomorrow
and I'll let you know how I go.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
And you go try a bubble te All.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Right, sounds good.
Speaker 3 (42:36):

live on the Free iHeart app A long time ago,
in a lab far far away, a science experiment went
horribly wrong. Out of that disk rolls.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Zach, and.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Have you ever.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Felt like this?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Like James, this happens when second Kiss.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
This is Zak and Don.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Oh four days Togo, Australia. This is very exciting election week, Zach.
It's a good one, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm just looking through the show planned for tonight, a
lot of election stuff, mate, Is it too much?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I don't think so. I think everyone's talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Really there's only like one or two segments that won't
have some type of connection to the election.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, don't say that then, someone who doesn't care about
the elections probably tuning out right now.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But I think our take will be one of the
every man I.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Think so too.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, you don't even need to be interested in the election.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
No, no, no, you could have. You could have no
interest in politics, and this is your show on the
flip side if you are interested.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah, we're also the show for you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Really, it's a one show fits all scenario here.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well we got Huey, Yeah, the TV chef from the
two thousands and nineties, actually coming up on the show tonight.
He is doing something quite interesting to do with the
election this Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It's an Uber Eats Hueye collab.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, and last night we have official confirmation that we
broke this on the show. Yes, it sounded too good
to be true. So we're going to have a follow
up on whether or not Huey, the TV chef from
the early two thousands Channel ten three thirty in the
afternoon wearing the suspenders, will be delivering sausages to people
this Saturday.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Ruma Huey's famous trick for every recipe that he cooked.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Had a bit of butter and if there's any issue,
add more. But it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Legitimately hate you. He looked every recipe. There was a
lot of winking at camera in Hue's cooking adventures. Well,
can't wait to have hue join us on the show shortly.
Also coming up on this show, Zach, it is Tuesday night,
which means it is freedom night. That's the night where
I'm allowed to run free. No one can cut off
my ideas like you normally do.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Hr said, we need to have a segment where Dom
can air some of these ideas. He needs to get
them out, so we bury them deep in now we
don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, late at night on Tuesday night, you told me
that's prime listening slot. You told me that's the best
lot of the week. That the ratings had showed us
that after nine o'clock on a Tuesday is when we
have most people in cars listening.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
What are they going to get tonight, dummy?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well, what they're going to get tonight? Mate? Do you
know we're only a couple of days off hitting May.
That's right, Winter's only a month and a bit away
getting cooler. The cold air is here, and I want
to put that to the test. Well, what are you
laughing about?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The famous time to talk about window when it's a
month in a bit of way.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
But that's where the temperatures start to turn. It's you
start to feel that you won't need to get the
cardigan out. It's a bit chilly at the moment. We're
going to be talking about dropping evening temperatures on the
show in Freedom a bit later on after this, though, Zach,
there is something that every Australian could do on Saturday
that could see them on the wrong side of the
(03:37):
law something to do with the election that could see
the government chasing you up.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
The Zach and Tom podcast.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It is election time, Zach, and you know, it's the
election that you get actually a little bit interested in
because there's, let's be honest, there's the state elections where
people follow a little bit for premiere, and then there's
the city council elections, which are easily forgotten, let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, and often you don't know who your counselor is,
like that guy, yeah, I haven't seen them in the
last three years.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, And then you look it up and you realize
basically all their responsible for is the biddens they get
given the biddens.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
And I think fence disputes.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Okay, that's the two big two. That's the big two.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Like if you if your tree goes over someone else's fence, yeah,
better call up the local counselor.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Right, so that they sort of deal with the current
affair level disputes. Really and but this is the big one, oh,
the federal election mate Alban Easy versu Dutton. And you know,
I think all across the country you can feel the
anticipation for election day.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
One of the things that separates our country from other countries,
is we have compulsory voting. You have to vote or
else you get a fine. Yep, that was what we thought.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Well that's what we thought until we were talking to
produce a clear earlier. And this is what surprised us,
because I mean, I'm planning to vote. I can't wait
to exercise my my democratic FREEDOMZ that it's important this stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I've already voted, look at you go.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And I also can't wait to stop by the sausage,
sizzle store, the cake store. It's a special day. But
apparently not everyone in this country feel this way, Is
that right, Producer Claire.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
I want to say that I do. I mean I
don't enjoy it, but I do vote. But there was
maybe one particular time where I may have forgotten to
forgotten to vote.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I mean, how do it? Was this a federal election?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
It was a federal election.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And then do you think it hinged on your vote?
When you're following the results, imagine if it were changed
because of you?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, what year?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Eighteen year old me? So like twenty eleven, twenty twelve.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Tray, you would have been in the twenty thirteen election.
Carod could have had another term. If you'd voted, if
you'd voted that day, Tony Abbott would never have gone
in clear Carod would have gone around again.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Guys. I had a deliver of my own that day.
My brother had planned a birthday party and hadn't told
my mum there were eighty guests coming, gotcha?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Okay, so what you're running around the house getting things
ready for this birthday exactly completely forgot.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
If you don't vote, you get a fine, though, right,
how much.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
Is it at the time, I think it was eighty dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Okay, significant, that's not nothing at all.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Paid the eighty dollar fine, I imagine I.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
Said I was working, and I did not lie, and
I did not get fined.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Hang on, hang on, but you weren't working?
Speaker 5 (06:20):
I was. I was working on a birthday party.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Oh I hope the AEC is listening.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
She's here, guys, But hang on, can you just say
you're work here?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
They don't ask for any backup documentation.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Look, I can't talk on behalf of other people. All
I can tell you is that I never got followed
up after that. And I am going to shut my
menal off.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I mean, this is out because I thought and I mean,
obviously there's whole bunch of reasons that you should vote.
It's a your writer as a citizen, it's your duty
as a citizen. But I would have thought if you
missed it and you're getting fined, you would have needed
to go to court almost to prove yourself that you
didn't have to pay that fine.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I reckon, we should have a crackdown. What do you
mean on non voters? I think one of the politicians
talking about that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I couldn't agree more. And it should be retrospective. Let's
go back to twenty thirty.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
You know I still like voting. Meil, please don't stop me.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah. Look thirty one oh six five. We're wondering, is
clear the only case that this has ever happened? Or
is this because.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Did you Here's what I'm interested in. Yes, did you
have to pay the fine? Because I've heard rumors that
they don't enforce it. Yeah? Right, okay, but maybe they do.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Thirteen one oh six five? Have you forgotten to vote
in the past, and did you have to pay the fine?
Has anyone ever actually paid a fine for not voting
on election?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Imagine if you could do that for other fines. Yes, yeah,
I get a parking fine, yeah I was working, Yeah,
I was working, and they you don't have to pay it.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Then.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's a bit like you know when a parent gives
a threat that you know they're never going to follow
through on. Like I remember when my parents used to
pull out the whole where you weren't getting any presents
at Christmas.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You're like, good one, because I've already seen him in
the cupboard. What are you going to do? Take them back?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Exactly right, So they haven't thought that through at all.
We're asking on thirteen one oh sixty five, have you
ever actually paid the fine for not voting? Is this
actually something that's ever being enforced? Adam in Sydney, I'm
thirty one oh six five. Have you ever paid the fine? Adam?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Mate, never? And how many times have you not voted?
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Well, I'm thirty eight now.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, So if you've never voted, are you enrolled? Do
you get a fine?
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Every year I get a letter saying you need your details?
You're not officially enrolled, and that's it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I wonder if you never voted? Yeah, even know that
you haven't voted.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
It's a little bit like you can't get me over here.
Do you know what I mean. It's like you're not
even on the books. They can't touch you. That's interesting though,
because you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
See, I don't think Adam's actually received a fine. They
he said, he's getting letters to say how you need
to enroll. Yeah, that's not a fine.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Vanessa in Brizzy on third in one six five. Someone
in your life got a fine for not voting? Vanessa,
who was it?
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Well, it was my grandmother that my grandmother's passed away,
So how she's supposed to actually, you know, pay for
something that well, she's dead, so pretty.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Good excuse for not voting as far as excuses go,
it is. It is right up there, Vanessa. So what
she passed away? How long before the election?
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Probably a good three years before the actual election itself.
Wow that now, Yeah, it's like when we actually, you know,
mark our name off the roll and I actually saw
my grandmother's name down there, is like if that's my grandmother,
I said, she's gone, you know, she's passed away, And
the lady just looked at me as like, well, how
in the world she's supposed to vote if she's not here?
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Anyway, she actually got a fine in the mail, and yeah,
we actually rang them up and said to it was like, well,
you know, she's passed away, but we had to actually
prove that she passed away, so obviously give him a certificate.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Okay, so hang on, you had to prove that your
grandmother had passed away. But our producer, all she had
to say was I'm working, and they took her word
for it.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
That's outrageous. Here's Vanessa having to dig up a death certificate. Yeah, well,
Claire just goes nah, it was working, and they said
that's good enough for us.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I wonder if it's because it wasn't necessarily about getting
the grandma other out of the fine, but it's about
removing someone from Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Possibly possibly, but again I mean that's someone who didn't
have to pay the fine. I guess technically that's what
we're hearing you. If anyone who six five, we want
to know, has anyone ever actually had to pay the
fine for not voting? Do they ever actually follow through?
We have aerin in Sydney. Aaron, you didn't vote? What
did they do? How did it play out?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Guys, Well, I didn't vote and they sent me a
letter saying you didn't vote, so you have to pay
this fine. I didn't pay the fine. I just ignored
it and they suspended my life.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
They suspended your driving license.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
See well it was only my learners at the time,
I was just nineteen. But still I had to pay
the fine. Then I had to pay the admin cost
because they didn't pay the life.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So they said you another letter, did they saying like
your license has now been suspended.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, Wow, that's a pretty good incentive.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I guess this, I guess.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I guess we're gallivanting around, yes, thinking we had found
a loophole. They've got our licenses. This is I forgot
about that.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
The federal government does have a bit of power. Yeah,
and clearly they're happy to use it in various instances.
I wonder if all the things they could pull out,
I wonder why they'd go driving license because it's what
they can control. They control other parts of our lives.
What your tax you just got to pay more tax
or something. They could chuck ten grand on your tax
or mate, when you do your tax return, just check
the fee on there, the fine on there. Just interesting.
(11:56):
They went to the Department of Transport, which I think
is generally a state government level thing. Isn't it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I think the license is national, right, isn't it? Because
you can drive all around the country.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, I'm not sure. Actually I'm not sure, but it
does sound like they're a bit more serious on jac
the fines up then we initially thought, I mean, if
they're asking someone whose grandmother's passed away to prove the
death certificate and they're suspending Errand's license for not voting,
maybe this is actually something they do follow up.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
So what happened with Claire's then?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, I don't know what are you making?
Speaker 5 (12:26):
Working?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah? Now you know what I reckon? We should because
Claire Zack can I were good citizens.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yeah, I think you should pay a fine.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, I think so do. I think we can reach
out on behalf of you to the AEC.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
She wasn't actually working, she ow bucks.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Or you have record on air that Claire said she
was at a party.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
It's working, Okay. Eighty people at a house is a lot?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Yeah, no, it is a lot. They hear you. All
I'm saying is good luck driving for the next six months,
because I think your license might be suspended.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Welcome to Day Bet.

one in seven shot. You just got a channel. What
day of the week you think it might have been? Zach?

it's twenty nineteen. Do you remember all the days from
that year? No?

Speaker 1 (13:40):

in the memory, Cameron. That's a funny thing there. But anyway,
well look here's that work. Zach's about to give you
a date from twenty nineteen. You have basically a second
or two to tell us a day of the week.
That means there's no googling, there's no time for mulling around.

up for it?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
All right, let's bring it on, Cameron. What day was
April tenh twenty nineteen.

prizing at the moment. What well, we have one jackpot prize, mate,
I was saving that for a special occasion. You want
to give the headphones away? Do you want to give
the headphones away? All right, Cameron, we have done a
radio show before we had a horn prize. Producer Clara
and I had a meeting and we decided we weren't
going to give the headphones away. You weren't in the meeting.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I don't think Claire was on board.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Claire, were you in that meeting with me?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I'm pretty clean on a jack pot?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Why don't we play an extra special round this week?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:15):
If anyone else also gets the date. They go head
to head with a brand new date. Put it back
on Zack to find another date.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
The issue is only have one pair of face so
we can't. But then we've got two other calls. You
want to play baby? They were a bit tight on price.
I just did mate. People know sad sentence. I've ever heard.
It's costill living crisis and we're all impacted at Cameron,

a sigh of relief.

Well, except we've still got Jared on thirty one oh

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I thought, I've got a little fact about Feb nineteen,
two thousand and sevens what do you got the day
Tumbler was launched?
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Nice still kicking Tumbler.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Is it still around? I don't think so. Tumble's done.
One of the first platforms to drop the last vowel.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
They might have been the trendsetter because they were a
micro blogging site, so I guess they were compressing it
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh nice, good stuff. Well, Jared in Sydney on thirty
Monday six five is our last day bet contestant and
in an election special, Zach, we wanted to get back
to the year of the very first federal election.

year mate. Yeah, yeah, we're talking to you right now, Jared.
About ten minutes ago, Jared, you called a radio station.

Thank the Lord for that, because we were really in
a tight bit. If look, you freaked out over nothing,
but I didn't know it was over nothing at the time.
I knew he had one prize and three callers. I
was doing freaks out. I don't freak out.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I saw you having that conversation with Claire. You were
freaking out.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I wasn't freaking out. I very calmly said, there's only
one prize, so let's just play for fun tonight. And
then we come on Aaron Zach says, what does he want?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Tom, You can't have a competition without prices.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, well mate, you tell that to the prizing department,
because it seems that you go to them, Yeah, and
you grovel and you begging, you are Yeah, I expect.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
You to do that for the show.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah all right. Well, I mean, well, the other way
you can do it in radio is if you commit
to giving something away.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, well, that's another option.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
They generally just said it on air. They generally have
to follow through audit and they don't like you for it.
But we can do that. We should just give a
house away. One time. We just said to someone you
want a house. I mean, we'd lose our job.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
What I think about you? Yep, when you said earlier
the cupboards are a bit bare at the moment. You
care more about bureaucracy and admin than you do about
doing a good show. Prizes come first.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I sincerely apologize, and I'll make sure that I've topped
up the prize cupboard for the next time we played David.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
This is second, Tom Zach.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Last time on show, you were telling us that you
had made a discovery on the Instagram account of a
TV chef, beloved TV chef Huey Hewitson.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
That's right, Dom, I saw an announcement that Huey was
teaming up with Uber Eats to have home delivered sausage
sizzles for the election on Saturday. EARTHO, this can't be true. Now,
how has no one ever thought of doing this before? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And how has this come about without us hearing about it?
How does this snuck up on us? Well, we said
we would do some digging today. We said we would
get to the bottom of this Australia and we have
got to the bottom of it because joining us on
the show right now is Huey himself. Hello, Huey, goodo.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
Guys. How are you? Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, we're so much better for having you on the show.
You were having your second appearance on the Zach and
Doom Show, so it's lovely to have you on. Can
you take us into what's going on here? Is it true?
Are there going to be home delivered sausages on the weekend?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Absolutely? But somebody did ask me whether that I was
going to get on the bike and deliver them myself.
I have to tell you I'm not going to do.
But I'm pretty excited about it because you know, the
whole thing about elections is the sausage sizzle, isn't it? Yes,
And because so many people have voted beforehand, and also
(20:24):
there are a lot of booze that don't actually have
sausage sizzles. Uber eats and I decided that, hey, we
better fill the gap.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it. It just means knowing
missus out on the democracy sausage Hue. There are some
logistical questions that Zach and I have, you know, around
the transportation of the sausage. How long does it stay
fresh for? Have you worked with the team of Uber
Eats on this.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Absolutely? They have been delivered in special boxes and they'll
be fast. It's everything from Uber Eats as fast. We
know that, so it's going to be good. And they've
been cooked in special Uber Eats kitchen, so you know
we're looking good.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Now do you have any opinions yourself on what makes
a perfect sausage sizzle? I think that the barbecue needs
a little bit of charcoal on it, like it needs
to be a little dirty dirty.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
I hadn't thought of.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
You taste the You taste the remnants of barbecues past.
It develops a history, that's what happens.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
It's like a so you don't clean the barbecue. Is
that what you're trying to tell me?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
A lot of people, you know, people think some people
like sauce, some people like onions. How do you like it?
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Well? I like it with lots of sauce. Actually, they
asked me because they are offering three sauces, barbecue, mustard,
and tomato, you know, the classical tomato, and as an extra,
there's also onions. So we're looking pretty good. I actually
like tomato, sauce and mustard, so I'm I'm a difficult customer.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Here you go the double sauces. I kin'd of that
would be flavors all over the shop. Does that work?
Speaker 6 (22:06):
Of course it doesn't, particularly if you haven't wrecked the
sausage like you guys want to do. I mean, do
remember Uber Eats. They're not going to massacre the sausages.
They're going to cook them beautifully. They're going to be
perfectly cooked like everything you get from Ubery, it's going
to be good stuff.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
And look they're three dollars fifty each on uber Eat. Yeah,
three fifty cheaper.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
And no delivery, no delivery charge, and all the money
goes to the Red Cross.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (22:35):
I mean to get me to put my sausage braces
on and do the end we had we had to
do something that was special, and I love the idea
of it going to the Red Cross, and it's certainly
not expensive. I mean the only the only thing about
it is that it's only available from twelve noon until
they run out. It's on election day itself, so you
(22:59):
better get it early because I think they're going to
be a big hit.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I think that will be cheaper than some schools.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
No, no, we're not not comparing it to the school
to think about the ones, the places that have the
school sausage sizzles. I mean that money goes to the
community help. And you know we're not going to get
into that. Yes, talking about as places that don't have
a sausage sizzle and all those people who actually voted beforehand,
(23:29):
they can't win out. They can't lose out on a
sausage on election day just because they voted three weeks ago,
you know.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And this is the tragic situation that happened to me,
Huey the last election. I went to vote and my
local school had no sausage sizzle, had no bake sale.
I went home hungry. I'd save room in the stomach
for it. So Uber Eats have come to the rescue here.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I'm just curious because this is a debate I've had
with Zach before how many exercide.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
It is a classic part of voting, isn't it. You
go and do you go and do your duty and
you always have a sausage. Now, Uber eats is filling
in the holes.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, I agree, And look why can I've had this
debate before or about how many sausages is too many?
Because I can easily polish off three or four in
a sitting. Well, what do you reckon, Huey?
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Oh, I think that's a bit much for me. A couple,
I think, I think on I think on election Day
I'll be ordering a couple.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, we have two hands for a reason, one in each.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
What it is? I knew there was a reason for
that anyway. I mean the Democracy sausage is alive and kicking.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I love it. I love it. Look at what you
can do to celebrate this election day from noon onwards.
You can get a sausage on aber Eats the three
dollars fifty. Hue is the man alongside eber Eats helping
bring this to Australia.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Huey, I feel like you need to do is just
open up uber eats app and search Democracy Sausage.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
There we go, beautiful, Hueie. We are so grateful for
all you're doing to our to help keep this institution
of Australian politics alive. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 6 (25:04):
It is thank you guys. Have a great life.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Zack and Tom podcast. We're letting Dom's ideas run wild
this is Free Dom book.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
We got so sick of saying no to Dom's ideas
that we gave him a little section in the show
where he can do whatever he wants. Usually we all
have to agree on ideas yep, me producer Claire Dom.
But right now he can do whatever he wants and
he has a little grin that's across his face because
he loves this time of week.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I do love it, mate, And something I love most
about it is.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
You know me.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I love going hyper specific to what people are doing
right now, what their current experience of life is like.
Because so after you tune into the radio and it says,
you know, something like when did your ex break your
heart on your birthday? Give us a call?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Now that sounds really specific.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, well, well, but do you know what I mean?
It's like, tell us one of your stories from the past.
Very rarely does a phone jopic on the radio say,
tell me about your life this instant right now? Do
you know what I mean? I've not read this. No, no,
stick with me any think the else. When I was
driving around, before I had a radio show of my own,
I'd drive.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Around, question do you think about what you're going to say?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
It's mostly stream of consciousness. Before I had a radio show,
I'd drive around at night and I'd listen and I'd think,
right now, I'm feeling the cold. There, I can see
the street lights, there's cars next to me. Oh weird,
this place is opening anywhere.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
My point is like one of Trump's rally.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
No I'm saying, I'd be I'd be having all these
experiences and thoughts and observations, and then I'd tune into
the radio and they'd say, oh, give us a call. Now,
what gig did you want to go to? But you
missed out? And I'd be like, well, that's interesting, but
who's talking about my current experience? Well, we are on
the Zach and Doom show right now, because it's getting
this as a long lead, and I'll give you that,
(27:05):
but it's getting chili zac. It's almost May. May is
nearly upon.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Usking six minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
The temperatures are starting to drop around Australia. Right so,
right now, you and I are here in this radio
studio and you know it's nice temperature, the heat's onmost
What is the idea thirteen one oh six five. What
temperature does your car currently say? I want to get
the lowest temperature on a car thermometer in my country.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Just come out of the opener and say that.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Because it needed to set the scene, mate, the story
needed some background because now people came along for the
whole ride with us. Thirte in one o six five.
I want to know. I want to try to find
the coldest temperature that your car is currently saying in
the country. So I reckon if you're seeing anything under
what eighteen nineteen degrees on that carthamometer thirteen one oh
(28:00):
sixty five, give us a call. Have a look now,
see what it says, Give us a call and what
we can do. Mate. It's like a real life, real
time sort of weather under up.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, this show goes to Brisbane. I imagine Brisbane isn't
going to have the coldest temperature now, but.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You never know. There's some places you may be listening
into Woomba. It's when we can get chili up in
there in the Rangers.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
It go to Sydney and Melbourne. I'm sure wouldn't Melbourne
be the.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Coldest place you could be listening rurally in Sydney. I
don't know, mate, Temperatures fluctuate wildly.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You can just looked it up. Yeah, it's not particularly
cold in Melbourne tonight. There we go.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That's what you need to know, mate.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
So is that the end of the segment.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, no, no, it's not the end of the segment. I'm not
saying it's going to be cold, right, I'm just saying
I'd like to find the coldest temperature.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
What I'm saying is I think it's going to be
something like, yeah, fifteen.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I reckon, we can get lower. I don't know. I mean,
I'll start with a fifteen, with an eighteen. If we
get under if anyone currently has a carthmomentor under ten
degrees and lo my mind, yeah you actually will it
would it'd be while, But I'm not expecting that that's
like your jackpot anything under eighteen nineteen. We get us
started look thirteen one, A six five. We got Lauren
(29:14):
in Melbourne. What's your Cartha mometer saying Lauren.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Okay, well, I just left work.
Speaker 8 (29:19):
When I was in Croydon it was thirteen. But I'm
heading into Ferntry Gully and it's just flicked to twelve.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Wow, we've got a twelve degree as you go down
the gully. I guess it's in the name.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, it's a bit cooler.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Tracy and Melbourne. Can you beat twelve? Tracy?
Speaker 7 (29:36):
Yeah, I'm sitting on eleven at the moment.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Oh my goodness, we're down to an eleven degrees.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
You can't tell me that's not interesting because there's people
listening right now driving around all around the country looking
at their carth the mometer isn't going eleven.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
That's not lightly less than what I'm experiencing now. The
only way this would be half interesting is if you
did it on like the coldest night of the year.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Good call, make an oat producer, C level bring it back?
All right, we're going to bring it back.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
And I would want to see minus zeros.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Minus zeros it doesn't make any sense under zero. Yeah,
well maybe we'll get that. We're wrapping up though, we
have one more call. Can we go lower? I'm thirty one,
A six five ers who try to find the lowest
temperature in the country right now, Emily and Melbourne, what
is your carth the moment of saying, Emily, it's saying
ten degrees tenwies.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Like, it's not even a news story that's particularly cold
at the moment. There's really no reason why we're doing that.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Because the temperatures are dropping. Emily, this was this is
the stuff people are thinking about, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah? Oh jeez, that was a tough tone to take
from Emily. Like I could hear Emily rolling her eyes,
and she's someone who's called up for the segment.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
So she wasn't rolling, mate. That was sincere. Why do
you always assume the worst in people? That was a
sincere Yeah, yeah, yeah, loving it. I reckon. You may
laugh as much as you want. I reckon. Right now
people are listening and going. None of the other radio
stations right now are speaking.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
In my experience, if I'm honest, I'm genuinely concerned about
what the state of freedom.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
You say this all the time, like you try to
do a State of the Nation's speech and try to
say something this week.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Yeah, I think after the radio ratings come out, yep,
freedom is going to be first to go.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Hey, producer Claire. They break down the ratings minute by minute,
don't they? Yeah, loosely. Can we find out exactly what
happens between nine and nine thirty pm on a Tuesday
compared to the rest of the show?
Speaker 5 (31:35):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Will you respect the findings of the Nielsen ratings?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Mate? If the ratings say that Freedom is a significant dip,
I'll drop it on the flip side. If we go
up in Freedom times. No, if we go up in
Freedom Times, you'll commit to keeping it on the show
forever for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, yeah, I'll do the rest of the year.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Well, well, it's not often shows talk about the ratings
on air in a minute by minute breakdown, but we're
going to do that to figure out what's going on
with Freedom. And if it's next week.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
It is election week, Zach and we did realize recently
you have a little bit of a superpower for figuring
out which political parties fictional TV characters would vote for.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Yeah, throw any at me and I can tell you.
And it don't even have to be Australian either.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
No, that's it, which is why we're doing this.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Who would they vote for?
Speaker 1 (32:35):
We got to know who would they vote from the
Zaca Damp Show. Now, this all began when you and
your socials picked which political parties Bluey characters would vote for.
How does that receive any Bluey fans getting hateful in
the commons?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
No, most people agreed. I thought it would be a
bit risque, pointing out that Pat Lucky's dad, Louis Neighbor
would be a one nation supporter. But most people said, like, yeah,
actually that tracks.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah. Yeah, well look, I thought what we do tonight
is I'd throw you characters from The Simpsons and I
want you to tell me where you think Simpson's characters
would vote.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
In the Australian election. Obviously, so that if the Simpsons
lives in Australia, who vote for and.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
We're kicking it off with Ned Flanders, Well that's easy.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, family first.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Does that still exists? Yeah? I think in some areas
he'd almost run as a candidate.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, probably because he's like the church going yes, kind
of do good a guy.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I wonder like how Ned's gone in recent years because
in the nineties that was kind of seen as like
a very wholesome thing.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yeah, you're saying he's a Trump voter.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Now, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
I reckon he probably is.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
I don't know. I mean Simpsons is still around. We
could check in on Ned.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, I doubt Simpsons have gone too far into revealing
the various characters.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
So you don't think he's wearing a Maga hat.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Probably not. But do I think the real life person
would be sympathetic to Trump? Yes? I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
But we're talking Australian politics. You have family first.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
I think I'll give you that. This is a hard
one about Mo who runs Moe's.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Tavern trumpet of Patriots. Don't you think he's got the text?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
He's got the he's got the text. Do you think
thee Yeah, he said they make some good points. I mean,
I guess, so I guess because.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Think about it. What was the big thing with Mo
is he would get prank calls.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
That's such a good He's been getting.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
Pranked for years. Probably he probably doesn't even realize what's
a prank anymore, what's in a real court.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
He'd always fall for the pranks, So I guess he
falls for Clive's text and then probably walks out of
the election booth. You're going, why are you little? And
getting mad at Clive. I don't realize he got he got.
What about groundskeeper Willie to keep a willy voting for?
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Well, he's a Scotsman, is so is he voting? Is
he a citizen? He's got voting?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Right, there are all Australians in this scenario.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Well he's a working man. Yeah, he's down to earth
kind of guy. True, he has a little bit of
an anger streak. I'm just trying to think of his
attributes and whether they align with anyone. I think the
fact that he's working class would be labor.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah, labor. I thought maybe greens because he's in the gardens.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
All night, groundsekeeper Willie. Are you serious he's not a greenie?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
No, that's true. All right, I'll give you that. I
reckon labor is a good one. What about mister.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Burns, Well, mister Burns, he's rich. He runs the nuclear
power plant. And who do we know that's rich and
wants nuclear power in Australia and is also bored? Wait,
hang on, are we sure that mister Burns isn't Peter
(35:55):
Duddam's dad.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
They have similar interests it see.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, there's some certainly some parallels there. So you're saying L.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
And B for mister burn liberals.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Yeah, yeah, I get that, all right. One last one
Grandpa Simpson.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Grandpa Simpson, Well he's a boomer. Yeah, he's an older
generation is he's a little bit likes to go on
a rant, likes occasionally. Yeah. I think he believes in
the year's gone by, so one nation. Grand Yeah, he
(36:27):
thinks it was better back in the day kind of thing. Yeah,
it's like the world's changing, and I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
I see that. I actually think you've you've nailed this.
I think all five of those is exactly where those
people would vote. And I do think there are concerning
leaks between mister Burns and Peter Dunton that we should
investigate further.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
This is second off. Go ahead, make my day?
Speaker 5 (36:55):
Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Dom, We're trying to do our part for lesser known holidays.
We're trying to raise awareness. So each night I bring
two shows. I bring two days to the show, each
occurring in the next twenty four hours. You and I
have to pick one each to become ambassadors for.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Now the thirtieth of April tomorrow, the end of April. Mate,
you're really into the ear when you hit may, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (37:18):
What have we got for? It's like right in the middle,
isn't it really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:21):
It feels like it feels like what do we got?
Speaker 2 (37:23):
National bubble tea day?
Speaker 1 (37:26):
You're a bubble tea man?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Never had one?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
These are like the ones that you see in the
westfield everywhere, and they like put the they kind of
have they put a seal on top, they do, and
then you've got to pierce it with your spra How have.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
You never They've been around for fifteen years. How have
you never even had a curiosity? Had a bubble tea?
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Doesn't seem appealing to me? What is it? Sweet tea?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
But there's all sorts of flavors.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
It's not tea or it is tea, all sorts of
tea flavors.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
I've not had many. It's not my favorite thing, but
I would have had seven or eight over the journey.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
And they've got like balls in them.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Don't They talking about the pearls. And that's an optional
extra that.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
I'm reading it here, Tapioka pearls.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Yeah, it's it's an optional extra.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Bobba ta producer class. What are you saying, Claire, what
boba boba?
Speaker 5 (38:15):
What's that's the little circles?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Okay, Okay, I didn't know that either, But I'm just
shocked you haven't even tried the thing, mate. I regon
you'd like it.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Do you actually think I would like it?
Speaker 3 (38:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I don't, because you like the most bitter, pure black coffee.
Zach's flavor. Zach's flavor palette is like his personality, bitter
and gray.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Well, maybe there could be a reflection there. I think
there is no. But I think I've been saying to
you about black coffee for ages. Once you get used
to it, it doesn't taste bitter.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Yeah, you can taste all the different flavor prisoners talk about.
Once you get used to prison, it's actually not that bad.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Apparently bubb Tea got it start in Taiwan in the
nineteen eighties. That doesn't truck me. And then it got
to America in the nineteen nineties, so it took a
while to take off here.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
I remember the first bubblety I had. I was in high.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
School, okay when that far back?
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yeah, and I was not okay with the balls. No,
like the first time said, I'm just saying the deckster
was really uncomfortable. I didn't enjoy when one of them
came up through the straw. I did not enjoy that.
(39:34):
It ruined my tea. And I've since had them without
the balls, they're much nicer.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Are you trying to make that sound uncomfortable?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
I'm not. I'm telling you the truth of the story.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
It just sounds very sexual.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Well I didn't mean it too. You're reading it in
a certain way that I never intended. What else is
it tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (39:57):
It's golf day.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Oh you're a big golfer. Weren't you?
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Have I got to write that? You're almost pray?
Speaker 2 (40:03):
You always say this, I was not a child prodigy.
I played golf as a child.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
There was.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I never said anything about my ability.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I think I know what it is there. I never
knew a kid who played golf.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
So it does feel a bit richy rich, doesn't it?
Speaker 1 (40:21):
So in my mind the fact you played golf as
a kid, Yeah, I think I've just made that out
to be child prodigy because because you didn't just go
generally when you're ten years old for a hit at
the at the eighteen.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
No, my dad was very strict on the rules. I
had to like, rake the bunkers correctly, don't walk, don't
make sure your shadows not over the hole, because I
caddied as well. No, my dad was a keen golfer
and he wanted company, and I think he wanted to
introduce me to the thing he loved.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
You still into golf these days?
Speaker 2 (40:50):
No, it's too hard. It's so hard.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
It is a really hard and frustrating.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
It takes so long to get good, so long, and
then it's the type of thing that you played for
four hours and one two minute section can ruin your
whole day, like it stuff's up your whole score.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Yeah. No, it's not fun at all. So I'm interested.
Do you reckon one hundred twenty years time you reckon?
Golf still around?
Speaker 2 (41:12):
Yeah? Definitely?
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Well, because it's been around for so long already, I
think it would be one of the oldest sports.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
But it's a new generation getting into golf, or do
you wake up and just get into gold.
Speaker 2 (41:23):
I think the thing that will get golf is the land.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
The land is just going to become more and more extensive, right, Yeah,
think about how big a golf course is you can't
build a new golf course, can You would have to
be out in like way way away from the city.
Speaker 6 (41:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Yeah, it's a good point. Golf courses will realize how
much money they're sitting on with their land.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
And how much they'll get for apartments. Yes, well maybe
that will start.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
You can build you can wear the whole suburb on
a golf course easily.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah. If you look at them on Google Earth, it's
it's remarkable. You can build an entire suburb on that
golf because it doesn't have to be eighteen holes. Now,
I guess that's just the tradition.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
Maybe they'll start shaving a few holes off, yeah, right,
nine whole courses like oh, this one's only three holes.
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah. I mean, maybe we just give up golf and
go to mini golf. Yeah maybe that maybe that's the
future of golf.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
I don't think that's what we're celebrating.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
On golf Day, they well, which one do you want?
Speaker 6 (42:20):
Mate?
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Which one are you gonna take? I reckon you should
take you.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
I'll take bubble Tea because I've got a bit of
a childhood in golf and you can catch up on
some Yep, I'll go do I'll do eighteen holes tomorrow
and I'll let you know how I go.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
