Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second on for the Drive.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It is show number two of the Drive podcast. Sack.
We're back where we made it three day one, and
that's aways what you want when you're doing a new job,
isn't it. You want to come back for day too.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
They've asked us to come back for the second day,
and actually we did sign up for the two weeks.
We did so, I mean, it would be hard for
them to get enough out of it, but we're still
waiting for the day that the front door key doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
That's the old radio story, isn't it that the people
have found out they've lost their radio jobs. When they
rock up for the show, they swipe their swipe card
and get a red buzzer.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Which isn't really true because I'm pretty confident five years
later my past still works at the old job.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Should test that test?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
We could, Yeah, the old company we used to work,
but we can give that a go. Look, we want
to introduce you on the podcast there to a new
member of the team who's joining us. Obviously, ever I
knows producer Matty who's part of the show, but we've
got joining us for for these couple of weeks. LJ,
who's our producer for just up from Melbourne to to
our listeners narrow rumbers. But at the moment I know

But you're from well you're not from Melbourne. Where are
you from Aljo?

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Well, I've in Melbourne. I'm obviously not from there. There's
a dead giveaway there. But just going back to the
point that you're back for your secondary I had to
pay a lot of people a lot of hoey.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
Thank you. I appreciate to be here today. Very good
of you giving me someone.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
I want to hear your life story in thirty to
forty seconds for gold.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
That's not doing that.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
That is a big ass story.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Thirty to forty seconds. Well, how would you do yours
in thirty seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:34):

this podcast. They don't need a recap. You're across at all.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Or she's flying from Charlieville to Brisbane because she to

was going to be in Brisbane for a couple of weeks,
so she's she's jumping on a plane and we're going
to Yeah, we're going to go.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
On well, because you know, day to day before when
you're not helping us out, you are producing Will and
Woody and obviously you guys did heats with the Rude
Dude this year. Have you guys struck up a special
relationship have you?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (02:32):

to hang out. Do you know what you'll do in Brisbane?
I want to take her.

Speaker 5 (02:49):
I think we're going on a cruise. We're going on
a boozy cruise down this Brisbane that.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Saturday night, So I might not be.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Want know it to be honest, it go there's a
few that ex garbage bardges.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
It might be that, but I mean, look, you'll have
a great time anyway, regardless of it.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
It doesn't matter, It doesn't matter what boat you're on.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Just about looking at the now. The beautiful thing about
the Bruison River is it is brown. We call it
the brown Snake. But also there's so much oil on
the top that during the day it's it's not the
nicest to look at. Here's the amazing thing.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
At night, it's like a mirror, a mirror at night.
So you don't get that with the Sydney Harbor in
the same way, do you know.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
With glean water.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, you need a bit of you need a bit
of oil on the top to get that glean yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
And all the crisp packets and the chip packets really
that much garbage.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
It's more just like que corps as we think probably statistically, Yeah,
a couple of body dumping that could be.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
That could be due a few babies just overboard floating.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
In the Bride. It is known for its bull sharks
as well.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
God be great, But we should we should ask you
because obviously those joining us for the podcast now have
probably been on the journey with us for a little while.
Welcome to new listeners as well as always, But you've
been part of team zaching on for a few days.
What are your first impressions of the two of us?
What are you from an outside perspective looking in? What
have you noticed about Zach and about myself early on?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Well?

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Did you hear My point at the start of this
chart was that I paid a lot of people for you,
So I don't think my opinion of you two needs
to be on your podcast.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Okay, well you know fair enough. I guess there's savage
I did.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
My opinion much is the boss's opinions.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Are where that we're doing this because they're on holidays?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Concerned? Now, yeah, does anyone? Does anyone know we're actually
doing the Drive Show? Have we cleared this with the
official bosses?

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Did the Drive Show got we're saying this is our
second day? Do we have confirmation that the first day
actually made it to the air waste? Did you hear it?

Speaker 5 (05:01):
You're just two lads in a room thinking of the
people at Norman's listen.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
That's like a late night show, very common. Well, it
is day two of the Drive Show. Let's get to it.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Zacking down for the drive time.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
There was a pretty big inconvenience for a lot of
bossies that hit last night. Pack says online services have
just been restored to their thirteen million customers globally after
an hour's long outage.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
I haven't heard about this. Westpac went down, did they?

Speaker 7 (05:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Westpac, we're down for I think five or six hours overnight,
from about nine o'clock last night onwards. Now I am
a Westpac customer.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
I'm glad to hear this because when this went down
last week and you weren't with Optic and I was
you're gloating around, O, poor you.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I was trumpeting. Being with Vodaphone is a great call
for those that little while there. But I've been hit
by the outage now, but I'm actually going to take
a controversial tactic and thank quest Pack for this outage.
Really they've saved me, Zach, They've sa me in a
pretty big way. What happened so at about ten o'clock
last night, I saw an ad came up. You see
these ads that pop up for great flight sales every
now and then. Not really, well, it came don't you

(06:10):
want ads to you getting?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
You know, I'm a dad of two young kidsky, I
probably haven't been googling holidays for a while.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
We're pretty settled.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
So what are your targeted ads? What do you see
like hardware.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Lots of bluey stuff, lots of things to take the
kids too?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Well, I reckon ninety percent of my targeted ads are
about holidays and travel flights whatever.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, that's a single guy, it is.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, And I saw this this one come up for
a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. It was like
a seven day all inclusive Great Barrier Reef trip, about
four and a half grand. I think it was very ritzy, flights,
everything included.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
What's wrong with that?

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Well, don't I don't need another holiday. I'm just about
to go on an overseas one. I don't have money
for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. But I
was through to the booking page, you know, you know
sometimes something looks so good and you're like, oh, I
can make it work. I reckon got through to the
booking page I'll put my credit card in, thought I
should just check I can actually cover this. I think
I got paid recently, couldn't get into west Pack, canceled

(07:05):
out of the west Pack app, canceled out of the website,
and woke up today and thought, I'm really glad I
didn't have that money.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
They say, so when you wake up in the morning
with the cold light of day hitting your face, this
no longer looks like a good idea like it did
late at night.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
No, And I'd actually like if west Pak is listening,
I'd like to ask them for more outages please, just at.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
That time of night, particularly when they're playing the infomercials
for those knives. That's when you can the banks can
drop out. I'm startly locking any credit card purchase I'm
trying to do.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Anytime that you think I might be at home alone
with a glass of wine.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Westpack, What is a list of things that you think
because what you could do instead of an outage? I
wonder if there's just like names of products that a
bank could block.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
That's a good point.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
So holidays, impromptu holidays is probably a good one. If
I'm looking a holiday after ten o'clock at night, don't
let it go through. I think anything novelty off eBay,
yes that can probably, that can probably be blocked.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I don't need the novelty thing for me, but I
think that's always a wise call as well.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Any type of kitchen gadget, Yep, don't need any air
for I don't need a donut machine, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, so I reckon we just package this up and
send it to the big banks. And if we did this, honestly,
I think everyone every Australians.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
The banks are looking for different products to get people
on board. Yeah, they should have a late night purchase blocker.
So many people would sign up to that for the.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Summer drive home. This is Zack and.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
A mate right now.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
We're doing a national vibe check. Thirteen one oh six five,
so our number. We're wondering, if we ask you just
one question, can we figure out whether you and the
person you're with a platonic or romantic?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Are you dates or just mates?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Is it that obvious to tell whether two people are
loved up or just good friends? With one question, we're
going to find out. We're kicking it off on thirty
one oh six five with Neil and Anna.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
You got a question for them, Zach, Hey, Anna, what
is Neil's favorite meal?

Speaker 8 (09:00):
Lasagna?

Speaker 9 (09:01):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (09:01):
That was quick? And Neil, What'sanna's? And that was so far?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
That was instant almost.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
They were prepped for it. Yes, and lasagna.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Got to be That's two people who have a lot
of meals to.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Get because I've been with my wife yea for like
fifteen years. Yep, I don't think i'd have an answer
that quickly.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
There are a great couple, then, yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Did you'd never know a mate's favorite meal? Would you?

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well?

Speaker 4 (09:25):
What's yours? But a chicken? What's mine?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Gives me some sort of a vegetarian tacos? I reckon?
You guys are a couple of week correct? No, what
just mates who know each other's favorite meal? Yeah? I
know that's the sort of friendship we should all aspire to.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
All right, Well, the game's not working so far. We'll
try again with a Lease and Jack. On thirty one
day six fabers, we play date or mate? Hey, Alease,
how long on average would you say Jack spends in
the shower? Oh?

Speaker 8 (09:59):
Maybe two?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
In its Jack?

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Same question? Back to you for a.

Speaker 10 (10:05):
Lease, I'll say you more twenty minutes.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
They're fitting pretty stereotypical male and female.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
If they're not a couple. If they're not a couple,
then I don't know anything about this.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Well anymore, Are you guys together romantically?

Speaker 10 (10:23):
Of course we are bella.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Married, just dating? What's the switch.

Speaker 10 (10:29):
In between all three?

Speaker 3 (10:31):
So what does that mean?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Engage together?

Speaker 8 (10:33):
Very engaged?

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh you engaged? Okay, Well, all the best for the
upcoming wedding.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
I didn't know what he was getting at the.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Halfway engages halfway between dating and marriage.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I guess it is. But when you sit him between
all the three and you've given two options, Yeah, that.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Was the confused point.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Very indused. It is data, mate. Can we figure out
where the two people are romantically together or just friends?
With one question?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Casey and Carly? Carly, what side of the bed does
Casey sleep on?

Speaker 8 (10:58):
I'll say from the left.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Oh my goodness, these people are quick, super quick.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
This is really this is like, what side of the
bed does what side of the bed does Carli sleep on?

Speaker 11 (11:08):
S's on the right.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
I'm trying to trick you off on that, I guess
because if they both said.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, they both said left, there's separate beds, which I
mean you can still be dating obviously, but they're not
sharing a bed.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
There'd be a fight coming soon when that moves more serious,
wouldn't they?

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Yeah, who gets the left side?

Speaker 2 (11:25):
What are you again with you and your wife? What's
the split?

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Um currently left?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
But we've been back and forth over the years. It
depends on who's closest to the door.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
So whenever we.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Change bedrooms, Yes, my wife gets up more often, so
she's on the door side.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
She's got door side and you got all side. Nice. Well,
I mean the fact that they perfectly fit into a
double bed together.

Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah, I'm going to say dating.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
You guys are a couple, aren't you. No, how do
you know what's.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Side of the bed?

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Same house, separate beds. That's how they know.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Figured that one out drive home with Zachindon Zach. We
are so frilled and now to welcome into the studio
one of Australia's favorite comedians. You might have seen her
on The Project, The Great Australian Bake Off, The One
hundred Question Everything, or maybe you've seen her as Australia's
favorite TikTok maum mel Barta.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
Oh this is a pleasure.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Now, Mel you probably don't know this, but we actually
go back a lot further than you might think, because
what was this, maybe like about sixteen years ago when
I was eighteen, Oh okay, like a lot of white
young men, I thought I should get on a stage
because people need to hear my thoughts. And I remember
doing an open mic comedy night at an Irish pub

(12:41):
in the center of Brisbane. There would have been twenty
aks one nineteen including me bombed horribly and you were
the only person to do well that night.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Do you remember those times?

Speaker 12 (12:55):
I remember you exactly from sixteen years ago, for sure,
let's catch up. I remember doing that gig, and I
remember you had to time you punchlines to the bus
that would go past that bus outside, the bus outside,
and you had to just sometimes hold and then go yeah.

Speaker 6 (13:10):
And that's why my dog great gig.

Speaker 12 (13:12):
You know what, audience doesn't want to sit through twenty
beginners each doing five minutes that they have no sense
of time.

Speaker 6 (13:19):
And we're there at eleven o'clock and no one.

Speaker 12 (13:22):
Gets paid, And frankly, I love it and I don't
wish at all that I just pursued architecture.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
You did very well.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
Ye yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm very good.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
I mean, no one has ever known the triple four
bus timetable as well as you did. I think that
night in that place.

Speaker 12 (13:36):
Inside out mate, and do you remember this, it's like
you used to get a free drink?

Speaker 6 (13:40):
Do you remember that.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
I didn't hang around for that because I was so
embarrassed after. Like I was saying, in the lead up
to it, I saw ten people bump in front of me,
and I said to my friends, this isn't going to
go well, and they're.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Like, just have fun with it.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
Yeah, but yourself.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
And there's nothing fun about ten middle aged men with
drinking problems not laughing at your jokes.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Yeah. Do you remember any of your jokes from back then?
It didn't work?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
None come to mind immediately.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
What about you mail? Can you give us one that
you did back then?

Speaker 12 (14:05):
My jokes were things, Oh, this might be a bit
too rude for your for your show.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'll bring it up. Well, who cares? We can beat things.

Speaker 12 (14:12):
I think I used to say something like, hey, guys,
I wanted to look really good for this gig, so
I ironed my hair straight and I burnt my flaps
really badly.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well, and you know what, assuming the bus didn't come
past at the wrong time, that would have had the
room in stitches.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
It went well, it went well, and.

Speaker 12 (14:32):
Then I would do a cheky little you know, you
gotta do a cheeky face, Zack. You gotta be like
all I'm a bit you got to sell it.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I mean you're both Zach and Mail. You both come
so far from your Irish pub days. You're both obviously
parents to young kids now, and I know you share
a bit of a love of bluey, which which Zach
is all about as well.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Yeah, I love blue.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Yeah. What's the role that blue plays in your household?

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Now?

Speaker 10 (14:51):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (14:51):
And I don't want to be a parent anymore. A
chuck Lewie on how long do you get? My son
is fourteen months old and the maximum amount of time
he's ever paid attention is twenty one minutes, which is
pretty good, which is three eepps of bluid. So that
is you can make yourself a sandwich and go to
the toilet.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
And is it mainly at that age because I have
a similar age baby as well. He loves the song,
you know, and really it's just putting the theme song
on repeat.

Speaker 12 (15:16):
Yes, if there was just the theme song on a loop,
that would do. I don't think my son gets the
plot points and the nuances of Chile's relationship with her sister.
And you know, obviously I think the dad has ADHD.
I think Bandit needs to see a GP about a
mental health plan.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
I think he would gain more control in his life.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Why is that what gives you that indication?

Speaker 12 (15:37):
He's a bit of a silly billy. He MUCKs around,
He doesn't seem to get to work on time. He
seems to struggle with completing simple tasks like picking up Chinese.

Speaker 6 (15:45):
I don't know how deep you want to go into
blue It.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Well, now we should mention Zach is known as Australia's
leading Bluey conspiracy theorist. Have you heard Zach as a
theory as to Bluey's parents being involved in some nefarious activities?

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Well they live in Paddington right, and this house is
stunt multimillion dollar house and according to the law, he's
an archaeologist and she works in airport security. That's not
enough money to live in central Paddington. So we're thinking,
how are they getting it? Thinking an archaeologist digging up
kind of artifacts. You've got someone working in airport security
that can kind of usher people through the back door.

(16:19):
Are they involved in some type of nefarious smuggling?

Speaker 12 (16:23):
Some smuggling, I think they're cartoon dogs that someone draws
in a studio.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
But anyway, sure, well we want to run by you.
We're how reading into the festive season and obviously this
brings up all sorts of conundrums on a family front.
You never know what you're going to wander into at
family Christmas. After this, Mel, we'd love your tips on
how to get through the most awkward scenarios at family Christmas.
Can you hang around for that, mate, We'll get to
that with Melbuttle on the other side of this, Zach

(16:47):
and down for the drive time. We are so thrilled
at the moment's act to be joined in studio by
one of Australia's favorite comedians. Melbuttle. Is here ahead of
a massive national tour next year.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Now, Mel, one of the things that people will know
you from is your character Lynn, Australia's mum I think
would call Lynn and what Lynn is really good at? Well,
I guess you as the creator of Lynn is tapping
into family dynamics, and as we come into Christmas, we
thought maybe we could get your advice on some classic
situations people might find themselves in over this Christmas period.

(17:19):
We're calling it acting subtle with Melobuddle.

Speaker 6 (17:24):
Oh I love it.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
So can we give you a couple of situations and
you tell us how we should deal with these if
we find ourselves in them come the holiday period?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Of course? So this is wonderful, So get your out Australia.
This is going to get you through December.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
What do you got toak Our first one is you're
cooking Christmas dinner, right, mother in law comes in, She's
got a lot of opinions. How do you tell her, Hey,
I'm cooking. You just go chill.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
Out and have a drink and leave me alone.

Speaker 12 (17:50):
Oh what you do is you overload someone like that
with jobs?

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (17:55):
Yes, yes, So you have to take a bit of
a hit. You have to appear in competent. I saorry
NoREL that I'm an absolute purl. I've forgotten ice, I've
forgotten white wine, strawberries.

Speaker 6 (18:07):
And chickens, cream and lemons.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Get them out of the house.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
See, I thought you were going to say get them
peel in the potatoes or something, but you actually want
them off side.

Speaker 12 (18:15):
The jobs must involve them going in their car or
for a walk. You cannot have them in the kitchen.
You cannot have them in the home. And that person
NoREL is going to think, oh my god, she's throwing Christmas.
She's insisted on having it at hers. She didn't even
buy a thick and cream. But what's more important, your
sanity brilliant or owning up in the watchhouse?

Speaker 6 (18:34):
Up to you?

Speaker 3 (18:34):
A situation number two. This is a classic. Everyone's been
in this situation. You open a present, you don't like it.
How do you act like you do?

Speaker 12 (18:42):
First of all, I like to buy myself a few
seconds with just sounds before oh nice, I go oh ah,
whoa wow. And then while you're doing those sounds, the
words will drop into your brain.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
So your pad you're like, do you need to pad
some time out?

Speaker 12 (18:58):
I feel I feel about myself up because if you
start on words, the words will.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
Be like this, oh yeah, sure, okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
So you've got.

Speaker 12 (19:08):
Like I got a pizza oven for my birthday and
I didn't want to.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
It's just more work for me.

Speaker 12 (19:13):
Go on, by wood, Now do I and heat it
up for three hours to get one burnt pizza.

Speaker 6 (19:17):
Great, thanks, Then in said, I went on my wow.

Speaker 12 (19:21):
And then I went that is so great because I
love cooking and I love being outdoors.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yes, true, that's really good.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
But you needed those few seconds to come up with
that sentence. Yeah, because you didn't have that straight away.
But after a few sounds you're ready to go.

Speaker 12 (19:33):
Because the voice in my head when I get a
present is like, my dad is like, what's this?

Speaker 6 (19:37):
Want we going to do with that?

Speaker 2 (19:37):
What's what of that?

Speaker 4 (19:39):
For that?

Speaker 6 (19:39):
Oh god, no, six hundred take that back. So you've
got to You've got to suppress that.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
This is why I love when you have like an
engagement party or a wedding and you open all the
gifts privately after the event. I think we should start
doing that for Christmas. Everyone opens their own presence by
themselves after the event.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
So much pressure.

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Yes that I like that.

Speaker 12 (19:55):
Don't go into everyone gets a present, going to a room. Yes,
And then he said a time for three minutes, A
thinking time.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Yes, our last one, this one. You've thrown a Christmas party.
Everyone's staying beyond the time you thought that'd be there.
You're trying to give a hint to leave.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
How do you do that?

Speaker 6 (20:12):
Oh that is dear, that's a bit socially awkward.

Speaker 12 (20:14):
Oh what, it's really handy to have a baby in
that situation.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah, okay, really good.

Speaker 12 (20:20):
If you've got a small kid, and then you don't
even need an excuse. You just go, oh, Harry. It
doesn't just say words, you go, oh, bedtime.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
Yeah, here's one I've been talking about on my socials.
Someone suggested this and I thought it was a genius one.
With a baby, you can say somebody's getting a little cranky,
but you don't have to specify who, so everyone will
assume you're talking about the baby. Yes, but it's you
who's getting a cranky.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 12 (20:47):
Somebody is getting a little bit too drunken, hungoy.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Well, mel Is during a new hour of stand up

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Us my Pleasure Boys for the summer drive home.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
This is Zach and now Dom.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
I think I have discovered a very special power that
my three year old daughter Peaches has. Okay, now, a
few months ago I started to notice this and it's
now become a little bit of a thing. She can
predict the outcomes of sporting events so far with one
hundred percent accuracy.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Now, people say this about kids sometimes, don't they. The
kids can have these sort of spooky superpowers. They'll say
something to you and you're like, are you seeing the
future here? And we think Peaches might be a bit
of a psyekick.

Speaker 4 (21:48):
Well, that's your words, not mine.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
I'll throw it out there. I'll say it again. I
think Peaches is a psyekic.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Now around the Grand Finals time, what was that like
about six weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
In a September.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, yeah, she correctly guessed both the AFL and NRL winners.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
This is a week beforehand that she picked the AFL one.

Speaker 4 (22:07):
Do you think it's going to be the Lions or
the Magpies? Are they going to beat the Lions? Got
that correct?

Speaker 2 (22:16):
You can just you just need some mystical music behind
her and a crystal ball.

Speaker 11 (22:20):
Now.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Unfortunately that was quite heartbreaking for Bruson Lyons supporters don't want.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
To make any light of that.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
No, no, no, But she also successfully picked the NRL result. Yes,
it's the Broncos versus the Panthers.

Speaker 9 (22:33):
Who do you think will win?

Speaker 11 (22:34):
That?

Speaker 4 (22:37):
You think the Panthers are going to win?

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Again heartbreaking for people from Brusbone. That seems to be
another common theme.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Especially the laugh she did at the end there kind
of like I don't care, but I mean all the
great clairvoyance have that, don't they. There's like an indifference
to the material elements of this world because they're operating
on another plane.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
There's a Matilda's game tomorrow, dom okay, sock and now
the Tillies took the country by storm a few months ago. However,
they did play Canada last week in a friendly, lost five.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Now did they did?

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Let's see that?

Speaker 11 (23:10):
Now?

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I missed that and.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
People were saying, hey, just chill out everyone, it's a
friendly where blooding new players.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
This is the idea of friendlies.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
However, Canada is also a very good team, so this
one I thought would be a good test for Peaches
because it's.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Hard to pick.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
It's notoriously hard to pick the results of friendlies.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Right, and what it does do as well as it
moves her into a new sport. She hasn't done soccer yet.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yeah, she's done AFL rugby league soccer.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
The Matilda's has been the biggest story of twenty twenty
three as we look back, So it makes sense to
turn the supernatural gifts of Australia's leading clairvoyant Peaches into
this game.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
They're playing tonight in Vancouver Dome. So that's two o'clock
tomorrow our time. Okay, it's Canada versus Australia. Who does
Peachers think will win? Okay, there's a big soccer game
coming up? Did you know that planned in the daytime?

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Who do you think is going to win? Do you
think it will be Canada or Australia?

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Do you think it'll be Canada? Why do you think that?
How many points do you think that score?

Speaker 4 (24:20):
So she's even given a score prediction.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Too, Well, she didn't specifically say that, she just said
Canada would win in that score two. So I guess
it's either going to be two one two nil, or
do they go to penalty shootouts. It could be a
too all penalty shootout break.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Geez, she loves to break arts as well. Hear a
cheer Canada. There just breaking the hearts of all Tilly's fans.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Not afraid to go specific. That's what I like. Y
back yourself in.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
So we'll find out. I guess this time tomorrow we'll know.
Can she go three from three out? Another sport to
her repertoire.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
If she does this, If Peaches does have another flawless
prediction of the future, at what stage do we have
to contact the government and say we've got, like, you know,
a supernatural.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
The betting agencies will get on it.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah, she'll be banned instantly, won't be allowed to place
any markets, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Drive home with Zach and Doon. Nobody beats dance at Christmas,
Celebrate the holidays with.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Our lowest liquor price guarantee seasons seas apply.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Choose to drink wise. Do you think you can beat me?
Let's go outside. Nobody beats don.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
That's right done.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
We've got two calls on the line right now. One
is going to back you and one does not back you.
I'm going to ask you ten questions. If you get
the majority right, the caller who backs you wins a
thousand dollars. Now, if you get the majority of questions wrong,
the caller who didn't back you gets a thousand dollars.
Let's meet our contestants.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Angela, you're backing Dom. Why are you doing that?

Speaker 11 (25:46):
Because I'm sure he drinks wine and when the Waine
goes in, the wisdom comes eight.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah, you are a bit of a wine drinker.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
You do like a glass of red.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
So, however, at the.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Radio awards last time that I saw you drink wine,
I wouldn't say wisdom came.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Out that Night's off the record. Let's go to Alana,
who for some reason isn't backing me. Alana, you have
a personal reason for not backing me. What's that?

Speaker 10 (26:09):
Yeah, I had an ex boyfriend once named Doom and
I do not like them or trust them after that
at all.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
Alana, you and I didn't. I'm not the Dom. I'm
just trying to remember different.

Speaker 11 (26:21):
I believe I've just got a vengeons now.

Speaker 10 (26:23):
I can't go back at it.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
That happens, doesn't It? Games like you can ruin a
name in a relationship.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Had a friend who swore off seth's you're going to
say something else?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Alrighty shall we do this angel question? Alana thinks I won't.
Let's put the timer on.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
First question, Dom, how many ghosts show up in a
Christmas Carol?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Three? Wrong?

Speaker 11 (26:48):
Four?

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Kim, she is a Korean dish of fermented What.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Rice?

Speaker 11 (26:55):
Wrong?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Cabbage?

Speaker 4 (26:56):
What is the next prime number after seven?

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Eleven? Correct?

Speaker 11 (27:01):
Come on?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
According to the song what did my True Love give
me on the Eighth Day of Christmas?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
I've got no idea?

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Wrong?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
What animal was the largest to ever live on planet Earth?

Speaker 2 (27:13):
T Rex?

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Wrong? The blue waves?

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Oh?

Speaker 11 (27:15):
No.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
The perimeter of a circle is known as circumference.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Or pie circumference.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Correct.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
How many ships are in the first fleet?

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Three wrong? Eleven?

Speaker 3 (27:27):
What's the smallest country in the world? Are the smallest?
The smallest country in the world?

Speaker 2 (27:31):

Speaker 4 (27:37):
Incorrect? Three?

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Which of these countries has the most natural lakes? Canada
or Italy?

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Canada?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Unfortunately that is only four majority, which means, Alana.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
You want a thousand.

Speaker 8 (27:55):
I knew it.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, apparently, Alanas, you've been against a dom. You in
a thousand bucks? I mean congratulations thanks to Dan Murphy's
that is all yours. But look at least the fact
that Dom's been a part of you inning one thousand
dollars a larder. Is that part of a redemption arc
for the name?

Speaker 8 (28:12):
Maybe like a small, tiny redemption, but I still wouldn't trust.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Twenty Drive Home with Zach and Dom yesterday on the show, Dom,
you were telling us about an item you found in
a thrift shop, a book that you believe belonged to
well an international superstar.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Opened the front cover to see who this book I
think once belonged. To tell me what you see on
the inside cover, M.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
Robbie.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yeah, as in Margot Robbie. I'm a bit skeptical about this.
I've had twenty four hours to think about it. You're
hell bent telling me this was Margot Robbie's.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Book, for sure.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
So we opened the cover of the Tartqula Walkingbird in
lay will Maker M. Robbie, and then the school that
we know she went to, Somerset coll On the Gold
Coast is written underneath. So I mean, for me, it's
an open and shutcase.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Why are you skeptical?

Speaker 3 (29:05):
I've been looking around the office and you're actually not
going to believe this.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Guess what I found? I found.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Margo Robbie's tissues. See if there's a label on here
that says M.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Robbie. Okay, you've got what out have I found?

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Oh, it's Margo Robbie's coke can, so it has to
be Margot Robbie's.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
There's a label that says M.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Robbie on so you've got your hands on a label maker,
is what I'm getting. Any what else have you found?

Speaker 3 (29:36):
Margo Robbie's hard hat. Probably had to use this at
some time on one of the films.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Sas, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
I don't ask questions.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
I just see M Robbie with a label maker, and
I think that has to belong to Margot Robbie.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
You found all those three around the radio stations.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
How easy it is to find superstars possessions?

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Okay, two things I want to say. Firstly, you can
clearly tell that's a new label maker. The font is
more like it looks a lot more recent.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
The font that one in To Kill a Mockingbird, Yeah,
that looks pretty new as well.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
And also the to Kill a Mockingbird one, Zach has
her school on it.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
That's easy to print out as well.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
But that information is on Wikipedia.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Why would anyone do it? Though? Tell me what the
motive would be for someone to do that. Why would
someone get a copied to kill a mockingbird? Track down
Margo Robbie's high school, put M Robbie and a school
name underneath it, put it in there, and sell it
to an op shop for what reason?

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Op shop workers get bored?

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Okay, I think so.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
They a label maker, Yeah, and they said, why don't
we just up the prices a little bit?

Speaker 4 (30:40):
This is actually a great idea for op shops.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
They're sick of charging a dollar fifty per book. They're thinking,
if I can convince people this was Margot Robbie's, I
could get twenty thirty bucks for this, right, so charity
do so?

Speaker 2 (30:52):
I mean I should have looked around more items in
the op shop. Then maybe I would have found other
things belonging to Aussies in there. Maybe right plow.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
All I think is we just need to before we
can say definitively that it's hers, we need to do
a little more digging.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
That's my whole point.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
I don't disagree with you. Should we wear the hard
hat that belongs to Margo Robbie while we do that digging, Yeah,
because it can be strenuous.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Thirteen one oh sixty five, do you have any connection
to Margo Robbie. Yes, we need to do some fact
checking here, any connection at all, no matter how tedious,
give us a call right now.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Thirteen one oh sixty five. We want to get to the.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Bottom of this sacking down for the drive time.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Dom thinks he's found Margo Robbie's childhood copy of To
Kill a Mockingbird.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
You pick this up in an opshop. Dom.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Inside the cover, there's a label that says m Robbie
Somerset What is it?

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Somerset College, Somerset College on the Gold Coast, which we've
confirmed Margo went to. That was her school.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
I'm a little bit skeptical. I think anyone can just
buy a label maker put whatever name you want on things. Yeah,
So thirteen one oh sixty five, we're looking for connections
to Margo Robbie. So we're trying to determine whether this
is possibly true or not. So we'll take any tedious.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, you could have seen her at an event once, perhaps,
maybe you walked past her mother once at the shops.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Maybe you went to that school, Somerset College, and if
we can get a confirmation that to kill a mockingbird
was a part of the schooling there, yes, that would
strengthen the case.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
That would strengthen it significantly. So no matter how tenuous
you might be sitting there thinking, my connection to Margo
Robbie is so tenuous that I'm not going to bother
calling Well, no, that's who we want to call it.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Please, because we're doing some evidence fishing at the moment,
and we've got the net out and we're trawling.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
And you have to cast the net wide first. We'll
sort through the fish later.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, Like we're going to get a few boots, probably
we'll just chuck them back out.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
That's how fishing works.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
We have Danish on thirteen one oh six five. You
got a connection to Margo Robbie. This is through your sister, Danish,
tell us about it.

Speaker 10 (32:48):
It's a pretty tenuous connection. It's not actually my sister.
It's a maid of my own sister. She actually they did.
They both went to Somerset with a few years around her.
But my sister actually has had her second hand uniforms
from the uniform shop.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
Wow, okay, and how do you know that they were
her uniforms?

Speaker 10 (33:06):
Look, my mate told me that his sister had. That's
the best I've got.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
So there's no is there a label on them?

Speaker 10 (33:12):
Are I believe there was a label? I haven't seen
the uniform of myself because one of those things he's mentioned.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
That's fine, that's fine, that's that's great evidence.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
But if we could see the label dom we could
compare the labels, or even if we could just get
a confirmation of label, we'll know they're a label family.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
The family owns a label maker.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yes, the Robbie's got a label maker at some point
in time. I think that's something in that. Can we
just ask you, darnish? I don't know if you covered
the curriculum that was studied at the school, but did
you have any knowledge as to whether or not to
Kill a Mockingbird was read there?

Speaker 10 (33:45):
I have absolutely no idea.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
No, we'll have to dig further on that particular on
But that's a link to the school. That's a that's
a start on our Margot Robbie.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Hunt thirteen, one oh six five. We're looking for connections
to Margot Robbie. We're trying to confirm whether or not
this book Dom's found is actually her.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
We have Meredith on the line. What's your connection, Meredith.

Speaker 9 (34:04):
Oh, it's a bit vague. But Margo's grandfather, so her
maternal grandfather was our family dentist. So I grew up
in Golby and his dental practice was about two minutes
walk from our home. So I don't even know if

(34:24):
there were any other dentists in town. That's just we
went to him.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Now, Meredith, tell me about the dentistry office. Was it
well organized? Yes, any labels.

Speaker 9 (34:36):
Any labels, yes, minimal labels, but yes they were.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Runs in the family.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Dog.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
I mean, at the moment, what we've got there is
it's a lead. It's a start, isn't it. I mean,
if if Margo's grandfather is a dentist was labeling.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
His very well organized family, that's what we know, because
you know, my family would never label our version of
to Kill a Mockingbird, right, Sure, that's not our type
of thing. But if we can confirm that her family does,
that could be a lead. Now we also know that
they offer their possessions up for secondhand purchase with the uniform,
and so we're getting which is what they've done with

(35:14):
to Kill a Mockingbird. They've donated that to an op shop.
So these are all well, I think this is all
circumstantial though.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Dom Well, we need to get something a little bit
more concrete, and Christy on thirty one oh sixty five
might be able to help us do that. Christy, how
can you help us in this mission? Hey?

Speaker 8 (35:31):
So I just heard you say that you weren't sure
if it was part of the curriculum that I'm around
a similar age to her, and we definitely studied that book.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Did you go to that school?

Speaker 8 (35:41):
No, but they usually have the same curriculum across.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Same state board.

Speaker 2 (35:46):
Yeah, that's and what year did you edit in? Christy?

Speaker 8 (35:54):
So, I'm ninety three years younger than her. Okay, that's
still part of the curriculum.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Okay, it was a year nine, year ten book. I
think if year ten feels right to me.

Speaker 8 (36:04):
It was a year ten. I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
All right.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
So in Queensland where she went to school, yes, they
did read to Kill a Mockingbird. We know that her
family donated secondhand goods and possibly used labels, and Meritor
said her grandfather was very well organized.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
It's building.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Are you starting to come around I'm starting to believe.
I think we've got Margo Robbie's book. Yeah, we're going
to have to get put this all up on a chalkboard,
summer on a corkboard. Let's start drawing strings between the
pieces of evidence, and we've got to find who where
Margot is to get this book to her for the.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Summer drive home. This is Zach and darn well.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
We think we might have found the worst driver on
the planet. This comes out of the UK and new
stories come out that there's a learner driver who has
finally passed their driver's test after fifty nine attempts and
more than two and a half thousand dollars, which is, honestly,
I mean, there's something almost impressive about that telling. It's
a story of persistence.

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Is there anything there on the mistakes they were making,
Like was it the same mistake over and over that
they just couldn't get or fifty nine different things?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I imagine out of privacy, they haven't gone into detail
on exactly why they needed fifty nine attempts, But I
feel like I can kind of relate to this person
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
It took me.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
It was my fifth attempt that I finally passed my
learners four failures on the exam.

Speaker 4 (37:19):
First, Yeah, that's just a written thing, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
That's not in the cast.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
So how did you fail it so many times?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
I think I didn't realize you had to study first,
so you had to look up on the.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Road there was I think you would be a similar
time to me. There was like an online test that
you could do. I know I was cocky, mate, so
you went in without doing any study.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I thought I've been on roads before.

Speaker 4 (37:41):
But multiple times.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
So even when you failed at the first time, you
didn't think maybe I should study for the next one. No,
you just keep making the same mistake. No one in
your life said maybe you should study.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
I think I studied before the third one, and that
I did better that time, but only a little bit.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
Also, wasn't it like only ten questions? Like it wasn't
a hard.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Test, mate. I've heard this speech so many times, particularly
from my parents, who at that stage paid for I
think they paid for the first three attempts and said,
if you want another attempt, you're paying.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
For this one.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
And the fourth was the most humiliating because the question
I got wrong when they're marking it up. The one
that defaulted me or ruined my score was if a
speed limit sign says sixty kilometers an hour, how fast
can you go?

Speaker 4 (38:20):
That's a pretty easy one, that question.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
The options were under sixty kilometers an hour, or sixty
kilometers an hour, or up to ten kilometers an hour
over if conditions permit. And my dad had told me,
and I'd misheard this, he had said growing up, if
you go up to ten kilometers faster, the cops won't
get you, which not true by the way, I've learned that,
but Dad told me that, so in my head I

(38:46):
thought when I went in, that must mean that's the law.
And I can still vividly remember. The elderly woman marking
my test laughed and called three of her coworkers over
and said, no one's ever failed that one before.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
That seems like a gimme. That's like putting a name.
I'm at the top speed limit.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Yeah, twenty five years she been there. She'd never seen
anyone get that question wrong.

Speaker 3 (39:05):
I mean, I can't really talk because I did pass
the learner's fine, but mine was the night before my test. Yeah,
at eleven o'clock at night, I ran a red light
with the police behind me the night before your test,
they pulled me over. I didn't know that you had
to pull over on the road either. I thought you
had to get off the road, so I pulled off
on the curb.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
So they'd be thinking, this guy just ran a red light.
He's pulled up on the curb.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
They're thinking how many drinks has he had? But you know,
I was just booked normally, but I had to call
the driving place the morning of to say, hey, am
I still allowed to take the tests?

Speaker 4 (39:40):
And I got booked for running a red light.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
Apparently at that time, you got four points and I
lost three.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Oh gosh, we're asking on thirty one oh six five,
what went wrong when you were learning to drive? Produce
a cass is brave enough to share a story with
this one as well if something did go wrong when
he were learning to drive? Thirty one six what happened
to Ucas?

Speaker 13 (40:01):
Oh boys, I'm going to get in trouble for this one.
It's actually my cousin. This happened too, and her parents
were not game enough to let her to teach her
how to drive, so they were like, oh, to my dad,
you know you do it, so you know, just throwing
the uncle under the bus here, but that's fine.

Speaker 4 (40:19):
They used his car.

Speaker 13 (40:21):
So at my dad's work, he is in timber and
basically they were like, you know what, that's a perfect area.
You know if you hit a lump of wood, who cares, right, like.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
A timberyard, timber yard learning to drive around a timberyard,
gravel or something.

Speaker 13 (40:35):
No, it's on concrete.

Speaker 6 (40:36):
You know, we're not animals.

Speaker 13 (40:37):
But but you know, look, it was her learning to drive.
It couldn't have been an easier place. Lots of open,
wide spaces. Then it came time to the parking. I
was in the office at the time and I see
my dad and her in the front seat and they're
coming in, coming, in coming in. I thought it was
totally fine. We're not even talking about what's called a parallel.

Speaker 6 (41:00):
We're not even talking about.

Speaker 4 (41:01):
One straight in, just an easy in.

Speaker 13 (41:04):
Yeah, hit the building at speed, you know who are
going twenty.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
They did they cause any damage? Go through a wall?
Did a bumper fall off?

Speaker 13 (41:15):
There was a dent in the wall.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Yeah, in the wall. If you didn't think the wall, that's.

Speaker 13 (41:19):
Not And also, guys, don't forget there's also the car
park stop up that we've gone over.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
They jumped it.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's no good. And it's the most
mortifying feeling as well, because you just when you don't
know how to do something and you're doing your best.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
It's why you have to outsource those first few yes
to someone else's car the learning schools.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Yeah, and in case if anyone's interested, is the timber
yard still available for people to learn to drive in we.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
Got kicked in?

Speaker 3 (41:44):
And is a cousin driving uber or anything at the moment, No.

Speaker 13 (41:47):
But she is with child, so she's fully safe.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Thirty one sixty five what went wrong when you were
learning to drive? It's a safe space to call up
and share your stories. We'll get some after.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
This drive home with Zag And we're.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Asking at the moment. On thirteen one oh sixty five,
what went wrong when you were learning to drive?

Speaker 7 (42:05):
Zach?

Speaker 4 (42:05):
This is a uk H.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Well, I think they finally passed, but it took him
fifty nine attempts.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Fifty nine attempts and two and a half thousand dollars
to finally pass their driver's test. And we thought, you know,
it's time to remove the shame from this. Let's make
this a safe space where people can call up and
share how hard it was for them to get behind
the wheel and figure this thing out.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
It took dom a number of times to pass the learners.
I ran a red light the night before my on
road test. I had to call up and ask if
I was still allowed to take it the morning of.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
We've got Zach on thirteen one oh six five. This
is related to failing the practical driving test, Zach. What happened?

Speaker 14 (42:41):
So the first time I went for it, I hadn't
actually done all the hours. So my learn my test
are the guy was learning from He just quickly forges
it innion and goes, let's go, let's go.

Speaker 7 (42:55):
Wow.

Speaker 14 (42:55):
Bailed it the first time, and then I failed, bailed
at the next six times.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
What was the sticking point, Zach? Was it the same
thing every time?

Speaker 14 (43:05):
A bunch of different things, A bunch of different things.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
And since then, Zach, have you had any you know,
has that reflected on your driving history?

Speaker 1 (43:15):
Or he's pretty good?

Speaker 14 (43:17):
A little bit, A little bit, it's reflected.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
That's so bad?

Speaker 11 (43:21):
What are you?

Speaker 2 (43:22):
How many accidents have you had?

Speaker 14 (43:24):
Only two? But I've been at fault both times.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
So let's not get any more detail on that one. Joe,
I'm Danny bow six five. What went wrong? We're learning
to drive?

Speaker 4 (43:37):
Joe?

Speaker 7 (43:40):
H Yes, huge fan of you guys. I was actually
my mum was really scared to take me driving, and
she finally took up the courage to take me driving
on my al and she was like, okay, we'll just
go to the local Bunnings. Yeah, And he went to
the local Bunnings and little I was trying to do
a part okay instead of putting my foot on the

(44:01):
brake and foot on the accelerator, and ran into the
car next to me. But then what had happened? So
we got out of the car and inspected the car
next to me and were completely splattened the whole side
of the door. And little did we know that it
was actually a learner driver learn learn drivers driving school.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Oh no, it's a driving So everyone's using this car
park to learn how to drive, and you're bumping into
each other like bumper cars.

Speaker 7 (44:28):
Well this was this was a driving instructor, so he
teaches people how to drive.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Yeah, and he's clearly he was doing a lesson in
the car and you've just knocked him over. I mean,
I wouldn't think in that instance, I would think that'd
be almost the most understanding person, wouldn't that.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
I'm also thinking, like the car park, was it after hours?

Speaker 3 (44:45):
I'd find a car park the hardest place to drive.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
It's so kind of like constricting.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yeah, it's an interesting one.

Speaker 11 (44:51):
I know.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
My dad took me to like an industrial estate.

Speaker 3 (44:54):
Yes, which one of the ones where they put the
road in but not the houses.

Speaker 8 (44:57):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
Down to Go feels like a go kart track.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Shouldn't treat it like that, though.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
Leanne, I'm thirteen one sixty five. What happened before while
you were on your learner, is Leanne? Or during the test?

Speaker 11 (45:10):
I was actually my daughter on her learners and I
was teaching her to drive. This particular day, she was
so gung ho ongoing on a drive and I had
two cars.

Speaker 14 (45:20):
At the time.

Speaker 11 (45:20):
I had an sp Master and a Subaru, and she
was so gung ho about driving this Subaroo and I
was like, all right, so I put her in the
car before I could even get out.

Speaker 14 (45:31):
You're going too fast.

Speaker 11 (45:33):
We were reversing. She reversed straight out the garage, straight
through the fence behind us and into the house. Oh
my goodness was behind us, and she just missed the house.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
And then she got out of.

Speaker 11 (45:47):
The car and took off and left there.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
Did you there to deal with the aftermath of her mistake?
And what was the damage? Bill, Leanne? Do you remember
how much of it cost you?

Speaker 11 (46:01):
Oh? Look, it cost me a new sense, and it
cost me an exhaust and the back of my car
was a bit dinted. It cost me a few grand actually,
but luckily I had insurance. But yeah, she was a
bit mortified. I finally convinced her to come home. She's like,
com stand, mum, it's okay, baby, kit. What's all right?

Speaker 4 (46:23):
He Leanne? Do you drive with her to this day?

Speaker 7 (46:26):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (46:27):
I drive with her till this day. And yeah, someday
she still gets a bit hairy, and I think, oh
my god, damn this child.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
You just stay away from fences and you're all good
for the summer drive home.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
This is Zach and Don
