Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second for the drive.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Oh it's a Wednesday afternoon, and what a treat it
is to be here filling in for Will and Woody
on the drive home thanks to Dan Murphy.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Well, we've been having fun.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Why I say fun, but it's a bittersweet because we've
been saying goodbye to an old friend. We heard the
news that Goozman is discontinuing the Shredded Mushroom. So we've
just enjoyed some nachos and a burrito and just poured
one out on the concrete for our fallen friend.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
If you'd seen the last hour, Zach calling around to
as many gy Jesus he could find, do you have
any of the shredded mushroom left?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
We found one and they go, there's a bit more
out the back. We're going to continue it till we
run out. I said, let's get there now, and.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We did and it was lovely, but with each mouthful
I felt a pang of grief. Yeah, and now you.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Don't feel like that.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I do that when I eat a really good peach,
do you When once you go past halfway, I think
I'm not gonna this peach is going to be over soon,
And then I'm not going to get the moment back.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I can promise you I've never thought that. I've never
halfway through a fruit gone this fruit nearly done and
I can't handle.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It well this summer, when you're having a stone fruit,
that's just right. You just have that moment be.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Present, be present, because this is the way this life works.
It just slips away from you a bit by a bit. Anyway,
we've got a big show com on your way the
next couple of hours. Will Anderson is going to join
us after five, Zach, We've got a well, he's one
of Australia's most beloved comedians and there's a part of
Christmas that involves comedy. We think we need his help
with it.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Can he help us out with bumping up, punching up
Christmas crackers?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
That's the hope, that's the aim. We're going to find
out with him shortly on. That also the latest on
our mission to see whether or not this book we
found did once belong to Margo Robbie. We tracked it
down in an op shop. It had m Robbie and
our old school in the front cover. Does it belong
to her? Did it belong to her? We think we
found one step closer to finding out.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Right now though Dom last or yesterday on the show, Yeah,
we had someone who made a very interesting confession.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, they had an issue with Dom and they said
Dom's had always let them down, which led us to
this conversation.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So you can ruin a name in a relationship.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Had a friend who swore off Seth's.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You're going to say something else.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
And we want to know to kick things off today
on thirteen one oh six five, is there a name
that you've sworn off maybe somebody. Maybe you've dated seven
Ians and.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You're like, no more, no more, I'm not going an
eighth time.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You don't end of the Ian. Well eight times.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I hear this from teachers.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Often it's not in a romantic setting obviously, but in
the setting of naming their kids.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Go I can't name my kid.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
This, this, and this because I've had too many problem
kids with that name.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
That's it. Look thirteen one o six five. If you've
maybe had a couple of bad marks in your life
or or something like that, is there a name that
you've sworn off for life? We want to create a
register on behalf of all Australians for the names to avoid.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Second down for the Drive Time Dom.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yesterday on the show, we heard from a caller who
had a bit of a problem with you. But it
wasn't you, specifically, it was everyone named Dom.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's right, this is her issue.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I had an ex boyfriend once named Dom, and I
do not like them or trust them after that at all.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
I've just got a vengeance now I can't go back
at it.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
She's literally one a thousand dollars off this show and
still doesn't like the name Dom.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Thirteen one oh sixty five. What name has been ruined
for you? What name do you swear off?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yes? Is this a thing that more people are doing
or is it just Elana who's decided too many bad Doms?
I'm done with Dom's forever and I'm copying the blow
for Some people have.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
This as like a superstition.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I guess yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
They're like, I'll never date a jack, yes, and that's why.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
And it's like, well, my friend was cheated on by
a jack once, and it kind of does feel a
bit superstitious.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Don't you think?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It certainly does so? Like th in one a six five,
what's the name that you're swearing off? We've got Emily
who are you swearing off Emily?
Speaker 6 (03:54):
Guys, you just said it. I have sworn off all Jacks.
And you know what, I actually have wardened it to
people's god's names who start with Jay. There's no there's
no us there.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Hang on so j names altogether. So Jordan's out, Josh
is out there, all.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Out, Jake's James. I weren't even not even a Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
What happened, Emily? Is there a story?
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (04:16):
Well my ex his name was Jake, and yeah, he
did the dirty, he did the naughty. And then my friends,
my friend's boyfriend, well ex boyfriend now he is also
a JA and he was a nasty guy. And so
I'm not going back ever. Agan, I'm done. I'm done.
I'll take that. I'll take a Matthew. Thank you?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Okay, Well, I mean you don't get to order the
name you want, do you? Only you can say enough
with the Jays? Can I have a Matthew.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I've always wondered that with people like this, because when
you're going out meeting people, what happens if you're hitting
it off, you don't immediately ask your name sometimes, so
things could be going well for a few minutes and
then you go hi, I'm Jake and say ooh sorry,
I got to say no.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Here we got Ashley.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I'm thirty one oh six five. What's the name you've
sworn off?
Speaker 8 (04:59):
And why a oh oh, it's the Taras for me?
Sorry Taras, but why I was teased in primary.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
School for my last name and then from now I'm
just it's the ick.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
It's the Tara.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, I get that. I reckon if you had a
bad experience, like a high school bully or something.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, actually in childhood that sticks with you, it really does.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
We've got Bell on thirteen one oh six five. What
name has been ruined for you?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Belle? Oh? Definitely Jet?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Jet Jet?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
What happened with jet?
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:27):
My god?
Speaker 9 (05:27):
My daughter's dated three of them?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Really three jets. I don't think I've ever met a jet.
Your daughter's dated three.
Speaker 10 (05:34):
Three of them, I'm not joking.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
And before the Jets, her brother's name is Braiden.
Speaker 9 (05:38):
She dated a Braiden.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Now we're just getting Bell's daughter's full dating history.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
That many jets out there.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
This is a good point. Bell's thought I might have
the full set of Australian jets that she's dated there.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
But you would see.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Therefore, by the time you're getting to the third, surely
you're going maybe it's time for a new name, aren't
you is a belle?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I'm thirteen one oh six ' five. What name's been
ruined for you?
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Oh my goodness, I cannot stand anyone with the name Michael.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Well, that's a lot of people. That's a pretty popular name.
Speaker 8 (06:11):
I know it's so common. But I'm a high school
teacher and I see so many Michaels. And one particular
Michael was so adamant that I have the worst style
and that I am just the worst stress teacher.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
That's pretty mean, that's pretty ruthless from a student. Did
that Michael get a detention, Isabella?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
No, he didn't. It was just a really quick comment,
and I'm like, oh my goodness, Michael, let's get back
to your English work.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, do you know what, Isabella, Because Michael's turn you down,
We'll throw you a two hundred dollars into Flora gift
out you just to lift your spirits a little bit there.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, you know what you deserve that after what Michael's done.
And I couldn't I couldn't agree more. I'm happy to
swear off Michael's on Isabella's behalf there.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Really all okay? The issue is in what regard for you, well,
just on Isabella's behalf.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I feel it pain, I feel pain.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I just feel going to say you're not dating any Michael,
but you're not interested in men tho. So that wouldn't
be that wouldn't be a big thing to claim.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Do you know what I'm going to go there, I'm
going to say on the show right now, I promise
you I'll never date of mine.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
I've been happily married to my wife for ten years.
I'll say as well, I won't date Michael. We're standing
in solidarity with.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You for the summer drive home.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
This is Zach and Don Well, Zach, it's always brilliant
to have a chat with our Stan ambassador Bo Ryan,
he joins us. Now, thanks for dropping by, Bo.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Hey, boys, how are you well?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well? Thank you? Getting ready for Christmas? How's your family?
Speaker 9 (07:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Getting ready for Christmas? Now I still feel weird right
in twenty twenty three. To be honest with you, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
What you do.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
You feel like it is Bo in your gal I'm
going to.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Say, in my gud it feels like two and seven,
maybe eight. Yeah, oh, I mean that's when the West
Tigers were good. So that's how long ago that was.
But the last well in my life, the last you know,
ten years. But this year's just been been a blurb
of mate. Christmas is the word, Christmas is the word?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Are you into Christmas films?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Bo?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
What have you been watching?
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Mate? And into Christmas films? I mean as a family tradition,
we used to watch Home alone my family every Christmas
Eve on the old VHS. As you boys know, you know,
you rewind it yourself and it takes up an hour
for your dad just set it up and then he
punches the TV and the VCR and says everyone, it's
under control. Very lucky now with Stan and obviously the
(08:29):
streaming services. I did a bit of a marathon the
other day with my daughter. The first show I watched
was Elf. Now I hadn't seen it before.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
You never hang on a second by Ryan? How have
you never seen El?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Mate? I'm being honest with you, I've never seen it before.
And two days ago we watch it and then we
watched it again last night. Obviously, Christmas is it's huge.
The stand The last four years have been crazy or
obviously seen original Sunday at Christmas was massive and they
went Christmas on the farm christ Ransom with the Jones
Family Christmas. But before we did that, Elf literally took
(09:05):
a day away from us. We loved every second, but
obviously Will Ferrell then I ended up getting into love.
Actually it's a bit my dad was a little bit young,
but we still love that. And then obviously rolled straight
into the stand original film. But Jones Family Christmas Now,
I didn't know much too much about it. I went
in blind. It's inspired by the true events of a
girl called Tigue and Higginbotham now the Victorian Bushfires. A
(09:29):
family decided to get their family together from all over
all parts of the globe. Soon as they get together,
there is a fire evacuation based loosely on the Victorian
Bushfires in twenty nineteen. It's meant to be a fictional setting,
but it is regional Victoria where it's at, and a
mom and the family just try and get the band
back together, to just discover what matters most to each
(09:50):
other at the end of the day. As you boys know,
I travel and on the way a lot, and there's
no better better feeling than being together with your family,
and that's what they try and do in this. It's great.
It's a great watch Jones film with Christmas.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Hey, bo, I know there's a lot of assies in
Jones's family Christmas. Do you think would you put your
hand up for a role in a film like that?
Maybe Christmas next year?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah? Well, first rule of actings, don't overact, and that's
what I do my entire life. Yeah, but yeah, mate,
I'd like to came out in one just for my daughter.
Even though everything I've ever done she has thought was well,
she's been. She hasn't been impressed by anything except once
someone guessed me on Mars Singer and that was the
highlight of her life.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Well, look, the stan Ryders can get to work now
and make something around bo Ryan For Christmas twenty twenty four,
the stan original film Jones Family Christmas is now streaming
only on stan Bar. It's great to chat with you
as always.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
As always boys, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Drive home with zagndon the present.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
No one wants for Christmas, or more specifically, no woman
wants for Christmas dom has been revealed.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
This is starting to go a little bit viral. We
had no idea.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
No, this is blindsided up.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Apparently you were not meant to buy heart shaped jewelry.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, you got me heart jewelry something I've never asked
for us that I liked.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Ever, that's the TikTok that's going viral, that's shedding light
on them.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
More and more people are adding to this conversation. Yea,
words like gordy and childish keep coming up, which is
key is being thrown out there.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
And I'll be honest, Zach, I'm a single guy. At
the moment, I don't. I'm racking my brain. I don't
remember ever making the heart shaped jewelry mistake before, but
I want one hundred percent could have now.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
As guys, you and I are both guys who buy
for females, and we feel like when we buy jewelry
it's always received. Well, we were under the impression up
until we read this story, yes.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
That our partners always like the presents we have. And
but we're talking to our producers.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Off air producer Maddie says that she's had to before
come up with excuses of why she's not wearing the
jewelry that she's been given. Maddie, can you just buzz through.
What was it that you were telling your boyfriend once?
Speaker 11 (12:06):
Yeah, so he got me this bracelet that I hated,
and so I said to him that it was too
dainty and I was too rough with it in my
everyday life to be wearing it.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Why did you hate it so much? What was wrong
with a bracelet?
Speaker 11 (12:21):
He got his own name engraved onto it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
And that's a bold move, isn't it is?
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Especially if you guys aren't kind of committed for life.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, it's just kind of casual dating.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I want to ask you this because you've been married
how many years now, ten eleven, so you would have
bought a lot of jewelry. Yeah. Do you confident with
how you've gone.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
The last yeah, last five years? I reckon she wears
most of that. Before that, there could be well. Up
until this, I thought like they were legitimate reasons why
she wasn't wearing them.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I'm now wondering you think maybe secretly, Sarah, your wife
has hated the jewelry and just come up with excuse.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Which I gave her these like green pearl old necklace
once that she said doesn't go with any of her clothes.
I'm now thinking I took that as face Valture, I
was like, oh, well, yeah, well, I guess we're going
to have.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
To get your green dress. Fan.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I'm now wondering if that was an excuse. I didn't
know up until this point that these excuses were being used.
We were wondering, thirteen one oh six five, what excuse
are you using not to wear a present? Not to
wear a gift? Maybe it is jewelry, or maybe it's
a piece of clothing. And your partner keeps asking you
or your mum or your dad or whoever gave you
(13:31):
the gift.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You know that Fedora I bought you last year, where
is it? And you were in the.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Fedora where to dinner?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And you go, well, I couldn't wear my Fedora to
dinner because they probably won't let you wear hats inside.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
And you've been going, oh, yeah, good point. But now
you're thinking, do.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
You know what? I wish I'd had an excuse when
my mum gifted me at for Dora when I was
in high school, because that really ruined my social reputation
for three or four years. There all my high school photos,
I'm wearing a Fedora with dollar bills printed on it,
Dollar dollar dom and if you think about if you
know me, zach is that does that line up with
the dom fe that you've come to know over the years.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, perfectly wearing something that no one else thinks is cool.
There's one undred percent.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I will say. The librarian at my school thought it
looked snazzy.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Nazzy.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
That's what you're going for in high school, isn't it?
Direct thirteen one oh sixty five.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
What excuse have you used of why you're not wearing
a gift?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Matt? This is something you brought your partner. What's the
excuse that she's using?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Hey, guys, O is going well?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Matt? Tell us tell us the item, tell us the excuse.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
I bought my partner bracelet, earrings, and necklace a couple
years ago.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Here.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
It costs me an out of my leg and it
was white gold. I thought, oh, yeah, it's going to
look really nice. It's gonna look you know, I'm happy
with it. And I thought, she said, I'm actually I
can't wear white gold. I'm like, well, I'm an allerged
to it. You're what you're allergic to it?
Speaker 9 (14:58):
Now?
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I can't wear it. I'm like, you kid, I've never
heard this before in life, and I have realized over
the years. Now it's like, no, you don't like what
going well, why you say out the order to return it?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Matt, has that allergy come up any other time? No?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
No, so only when I know when I when I
once I bought that, that was how good? How do
you look what happens?
Speaker 7 (15:21):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You know what, Matt? I used to do this when
I was a kid. I hated like barbecue sauce and
tomato sauce. I wasn't a source fan as a kid,
so I'd go to friends houses for dinner and I'd
always so I was allergic.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Allergies is a good excuse because no one questions it. No,
people take it seriously straight away. It's not they're like,
oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
That's that's a good point. We're asking thirty one oh
six y five. What's the excuse that you use not
to wear the jewelry that maybe a partner bought you
that you don't like. We have, Eila, this is a
shirt for you island, not jewelry. What's the excuse, Ilah?
Speaker 5 (15:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:56):
You now, what's the excuse for the gift that you're
not using?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
So I said to my friend this shirt was dirty.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Ah, okay, okay, So you've been given a shirt you
don't like and so it's perennially dirty.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
It's always in the wall, it's never getting cleaned.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
Yeh.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
That's a good idea, that's not.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Bad, which actually has just reminded me of something I
thought it might well. At the start of this year,
our producer Maddie bought the whole team a set of
Zach and Doom's show pajamas and would occasionally say why
don't you wear them into the show more often.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Zach, pajamas with our faces all over. Yeah, yeah, they're
always dirty.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Weird, isn't it. And you've pointed out how can they
be dirty for nine months? I don't know. Just a
pretty clogged up washing machine, Zack.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
And for the drive time, Zach. We are so thrilled
to welcome to the show this afternoon one of the
queens of the Australian film and TV industry. Ahead of
the launch of I think one of the most anticipated
shows of the year, Strife does premiere today on Binge
with all eight episodes drop and we are so excited
welcome Bruna Papendrea, who is the producer of the show. Bruna,
(17:05):
thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Thank you so much. I'm really excited to be here now.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Bruna, you have worked on some of the biggest titles
over the last ten years. This week we have crossed
paths in a way with Margo Robbie and we're wondering
if you could input into this story at all. We
have found in a thrift shop a copy of a
To Kill a Mockingbird book and I'm going to hold
(17:29):
this up to camera for you and to see if
you can have a look at this. On the inside
cover is a label that says m Robbie and then
there's a high score.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Now we know you've met Margo along the journey at
a couple of awards ceremonies in the industry. Does this
look to you like it could be Margo Robbie's book.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
I have met Margo and I love Margo. She's amazing.
You're in Queensland, right, Yes, so I'm going to say yes,
it's a classic obviously, And Robbie, I believe it is
Margo's book. I do it could be?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Okay, and do you.
Speaker 7 (18:00):
I'm saying it could be. It could be.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
When you came across Margot, did she mention anything about
to kill a mockingbird?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Was there?
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Did she mention any inspirations that she had?
Speaker 7 (18:11):
I do not believe in any conversation I've had, which
are a few, that she mentioned to kill a mockingbird? No,
but I love the question.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well, we got we got to ask you this, and
I promise we're not going to ask for it. But
do you have margat Robbie's phone number saved in your contacts?
Speaker 7 (18:26):
I do not. Actually, I do have a lot of
phone numbers. I do have her husband's.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Does that that's one one step away?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Who's the most famous? Again, we won't ask you to
call him, but he's the most famous name. If you've
got a lot of them, I think.
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Probably, not that I'm calling her regularly, but Meryl Streep,
I think one of the most famous. You probably had
the number from shooting. And you know, I'm not saying
we've spoken regularly.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
But if you have that illusion, if you needed to,
you could call it, call Meryl in the middle of
the night and ask for some advice.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Yes, technically I suppose.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Now, this is a very exciting story based on the
memoirs of Mia Friedman. So how closely is this series
kind of linked to, like the birth of the website
Muma Mia.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
We kind of say inspired by because I think when
we decided as a group to make it that we
wanted kind of the latitude to be really inventive as well.
So it's inspired by definitely a women's startup, and obviously
me has been a producer and a big part of that,
and we've known each other personally a long time. But
I think, you know, there are so many touch points
(19:33):
with so many people involved in this show in terms
of like what inspired it, including our own female startup.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
What was the emotional experience like for mea to see
sort of in some way her life brought about on
screen with Asha Ketty.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
I imagine, having never had anything inspired by me, I
imagine it was quite surreal. What I have done is
a lot. I've actually done this a lot where I've
made things inspired but or completely based on a piece
of material memoir. So I'm always like freaked out. Like
the most important moment for me in the making of
this show was when we showed it to me for
(20:06):
the first time, and how kind of just excited she
was by the experience of watching it. So I'm guessing
she's quite nervous, but I think she's pretty happy.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Well, look, strife does drop today on Bingch. People can
go and check it out tonight and over the week ahead.
Thanks so much, Bruna, Thanks guys, Thank you Zacon for
the drive time dom.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I am the father of two young kids. My eldest
is three years old. Her name is Peaches and she
has an uncanny ability to pick sporting scores.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yes, this is it.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
You sometimes hear about this with an octopus or what
was there? Like a bear overseas, ones that could predict
sports game, put.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Like two fish in front of it. Yeah, if it
eats the mackerel, it thinks that Australia is going to lose.
That sort of a thing.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Basically, Peaches is on a hot streak. She can do
rugby league, she can do AFL. She successfully predicted both
winners of the NRL and NRL Grand Final.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah she got she got, well, the Panthers and the Pies.
She picked them both to be the winners of those
grand finals days out, which was remarkable.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
She has never done soccer, so we wanted to see
if she could extend herself to that. The Matilda's played
Canada today friendly in the women's soccer Now two days ago?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah, I think it was two nights ago. I asked
her who she thought he was going to win that game?
There's a big soccer game coming up. Did you know
that he played in the daytime? Who do you think
is going to win? Do you think it will be
Canada or Australia? Do you think it'll be Canada? Why
do you think that? How many points? Do you think
(21:43):
that score? He even predicted score score line?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That was bold. Now we have heard you and I
have stayed away from the result, but we believe the
final whistle has just been blown in the Matilda's versus
Canada soccer match.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
These are kind of hard to predict as well, because
friendly is not always do you have the best players playing?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So I'm not sure if Sam Kerr played or not.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I don't know either. But do you want to hear
the commentary from the end of the match.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
What we know is Peaches said that Canada would win
and they would score two goals. Here we go and
there goes the final whistle and one nil victory for Canada.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Does she get that she predicted? She that's three from
three winners. Three from three winners, mate.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I think the thing is she picks a winner the margin.
There's a margin, Pharaoh with the margin. But if she
picks the winner, then she picks the winner.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I'm just googling this right now. Was there a goal
that was disallowed? Was there one that went in that
they pulled back for off side? Maybe that's what she
was thinking.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
It's hard to tell, but that's a three from three winners.
That's pretty remarkable. What do we tested with next. I
feel like we're in the next week or so. We've
got to find some other big event that we can
maybe put to her if she can buy time.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
By the way, it wasn't the Canada.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I don't think was the obvious choice. Now you'd think,
as an Aussie should back the Matildas.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And she didn't even because you were a bit concerned
with the other Grand finals that she just picked the team.
You said second.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, but this time I mixed it up. I didn't
want to lead the witness.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So she's got an incredible ability. Now Sports better gonna
find out about this, and they're gonna she's gonna be
shut down quickly, because otherwise you got an amazing avenue
in there to finding out that the way to make money.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
It's a little underwhelming that she didn't get the score line.
That takes the shine off at a little bit. But
the claim was she could pick the winner. No, she
could pick the score lines.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Drive Home with Zach and Don Nobody beats Dance at Christmas,
Celebrate the Holidays with our lowest liquor price guarantee season
Seas apply.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Choose to drink wise.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Do you think you can beat beat?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Let's go outside Nobody beats Don Dom.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
We have two contestants on the line. One is backing you,
one is not. I'm gonna ask you ten trivia questions now.
If you get the majority of them right, the person
who backs you walks away with a thousand dollars. If
you get the majority wrong, the person who didn't back
you gets a thousand dollars. Let's meet our contestants. Firstly,
the person not backing you today, Dom is Natalie. Welcome
(24:12):
to the show, Natalie. Why are you not backing Dom?
Speaker 5 (24:15):
Because he's a Brisbane Lions supporter and I'm a Docker's
supporter and they stole locking Neil from us.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
This is very, very niche afl Chad here, Natalie. But yes,
we've loved having locking Neil at the Lions and I
could talk footy with you all day. Most of Australia
probably doesn't want that. But at any rate, I don't
know why, and I vacuum. You're gonna regret that soon enough.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
We have Miles. You are backing Dom? Why is that?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Absolutely? I heard him all way and he cracked nine
out of ten first time.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah, he's gone to the bag he has.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Well.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
I'm gonna be honest, I've had a little perus of
the questions. Don I think it's a bit easier than
yesterday when you didn't get them.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
I didn't do well yesterday.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
No, you do really poorly actually, so.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Hope Miles didn't hear that one. But if I get
the majority of these answers right, Miles gets a thousand
bucks before Christmas. If I don't, Natalie gets the thousand.
Let's go. Let's do this.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
First question, Dom, who is the patron saint of Ireland?
Speaker 2 (25:07):
That would be Sir Patrick. Correct?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
How long is an Olympic swimming pool?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Fifty?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Correct? Which country started the tradition of putting up a
Christmas tree? Geminy correct, who was Australia's first female Prime.
Speaker 2 (25:19):

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Correct? What is the capital city of New South Wales Sydney.
What is the name of the African animal that means.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
River horse, hippopotamus? Correct?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That is six correct the majority? Right, Miles, you've what
a thousand dollars?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Oh, Miles, you were wise there about me. And that
was a hot streak like no one's ever seen before. Miles.
Speaker 7 (25:45):
I knew, I knew he had it in the bag.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
What are you going to do with the thousand bucks?
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Miles?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
Probably miss Christmas President?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Yeah, good call.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Not a heart shaped jewelry. Earlier on the show, that ate.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
Miles.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
When you're wrapping the gift and putting the little tag
on it, I reckon you can put from Miles and
then in brackets and dom because I feel like I'm
somewhat to thanks for the gift.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Now, I'll give you a shout out.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Don't worry.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
What is the capital city of New South Wows Are
we serious?
Speaker 1 (26:17):
He's older than years old? That was a sophomore, that one, Zack.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
And for the dry time, it is Wednesday, Zach, which
means it's questioned everything day and It's a real treat
to welcome one of the most beloved comedians in the country,
Will Anderson to the show, the host of Question Everything.
Who's Who's coming up tonight?
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Will oh Good show tonight. By the way, Geraldine, thanks
for having me. Geraldine. Hickey's on the show tonight. We
love Jesse Hickey. Nath valbo is on the show. But
how's this making his ABC TV panel debut? Brett Blake,
he is a new comedian, his first TV panel. He's
got one of the greatest mullets you'll ever see. The
(26:58):
entire it's from Western Australia in drinks a new bitter beer,
and he is going to be a real shock for
some conservative abs.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I feel like we haven't seen that in a war wheel.
But that sounds like maybe a bit of a throwback
to an Ossi Alarican.
Speaker 9 (27:15):
I mean, you know, the big question we've all been asking, obviously,
is what happened to the Alarican's a big question that
everyone's constantly asking. You can't watch a current affair or
without saying someone saying what happened to the Alarican? And
you can't watch Sky News without people pondering what happened
to the alaricin And you can't read like an editorial
page in The Australian without someone speculating for fifteen hundred
(27:38):
words the Alarican what happened to him? Like, people want
to know what happened to Alarican? Well, it turns out
we found him, We have identified, found captured Alarican.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It's interesting you say that. Well, I remember an article
in one of the papers a few years ago about
the Alarakan and all the examples they referenced for the
Alarkan were people who got cam it's all for racism.
And I find you what is it this link between
their nostalgia for this Larican character and just casual racism
of Australia.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
Well, I mean you can't say whatever happened to casual racism? Unfortunately,
it's just not as palatable a public position to have.
You know, everyone remember the joys of casual racism. Here's
fifteen hundred words on why we should bring back casual racism.
It just doesn't read it as well. It's not as
socially acceptable. But if you use the L word Alarican,
(28:31):
the real L word, that's what the TV show, the
L word was about a bunch of Americans who just
hung out together in the adventures they had. Yeah, no,
I mean it is one of those things that there
is a humor. I mean, if you've been to any
comedy club around Australia or any comedy club around the world,
the one thing that I can tell you is that
(28:51):
this idea that you can't say anything anymore is the
most ridiculous premise there is. Believe me, people are saying things,
are being said, they are often being said, they are
being some they are being rhymed. And also most of
the comedians who complain that you can't say anything anymore
are saying that on their Netflix special that was filmed
(29:14):
at Madison Square Garden after they filmed like ninety different
countries on their worldwide you can't say.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Anything to.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Well, well, speaking of a tour, you announced your new
one for next year this week, Will legitimate.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Where are you at with your son up at the moment?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I know for a while you're experimenting with one hundred
improv shows. How much improv is in the new show?
Speaker 9 (29:37):
So well, they're two separate Yeah, they're two separate things.
So I still do what you're talking about. Will shows
and I've done a bunch of them this year. Just
did one on the weekend in Sydney, got another one
in January, do something in Newcastle. But I just tend
to do those in places that I can drive to.
The improv shows. I would like it some stays to
(29:59):
go out on a proper improv tour, and like I
do have a fantasy that I could just go out
there and do a proper all over Australia, take my
improv show everywhere. But I must say that I like
to see and play a room before I take the
improv show there, because I like to know the dimensions
of the room where the people will be able to hear.
(30:20):
Often part of making those shows work is can the
people who are sitting up the back here or see
or kind of get a vibe of the people that
I'm talking to down the front. And if that can't happen,
there's suddenly a disconnect when you're trying to you know,
there's only so much you can repeat and those sort
of things. So I like to scope out the rooms.
(30:41):
But I'd like to do that, but no, this new
tour is my my dad. I found out something about
my dad at age forty nine, my dad turned eighty
and I found out something about my dad that I
did not know. And now I need to point out
the show is called Will Legitimate. People have read too
much into that. This is statis about me finding out
(31:02):
that like, either my dad has an illegitimate child or
I am an ilegitimate child. I realized that I've sold
this show in a very wrong way. But I did
find out something about my dad I didn't know, and
I've written a show about that that's brilliant.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
We love to hear the behind the scenes and some
of that craft of putting together a comedy show. Well,
we wondered if we could lean on that a little
bit with a game that we've come up with Will.
What we'd like to do is do some Christmas cracking.
We wanted to give you a Christmas cracker punt setup
and see if you can guess where they've gone with
(31:36):
the punchline. Because Christmas crackers are kind of known as
not very good jokes. Obviously, you've had a long career
of riuning some very good jokes. We want to see
whether or not you can pick where they went, and
maybe you might come across a bit of a punch
up along the way somewhere where they.
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Should have gone interesting. All right, Okay, yeah, I'm happy
to get involved in this.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Why not?
Speaker 9 (31:55):
This sounds fun?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Okay, this one.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
We're around a Christmas table, We've just hopped the Christmas cracker.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
You're probably next to a relative. You haven't spoken too
much for five years in this scenario, so that might
help set the scene a little bit.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
Okay, that's good, Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Here's the question that's asked of the table. What do
you get if you eat Christmas decorations?
Speaker 9 (32:14):
What do you get?
Speaker 11 (32:16):
What?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Illness? What disease?
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Rain, diarrhea?
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, that's good. That's a lot better good.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
It's tinselides. That's what they've gone with.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Rain, much better joke, to be honest. So, I mean
that's a good start. You got another one, Zach.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Okay, what was the snowman doing in the vegetable patch?
Speaker 9 (32:42):
What was the snowman.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Doing in the vegetable doing.
Speaker 9 (32:46):
In the vegetable There's a.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
Lot of work in the setup for this one, really, Yeah,
what was the snow So the snowman's in the vegetable patch.
Speaker 9 (32:55):
Snowman traditionally has a carrot nose, so something about nose
or something about something about and ticking his nose.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
You got there.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
That is the one they've gone with, and you can
hear the comedic mind it why.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
It's such a good insight to see how you came
to that. That was outstanding. That was like watching watching
someone feel like I was in that movie Goodwill hunting there.
Just seeing you sort of work it out in your
head there and seeing the genius at play. That was phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Now, this one is horrible, Will, Like, we don't endorse
these jokes at all. The Christmas Cracker jokes are known
to be horrible. But what do you get when you
cross a snowman with a vampire?
Speaker 9 (33:45):
Okay, so a snowman in a vampire. Okay, so snowman
is cold. So vampires drink blood or they suck, suck
or they bite.
Speaker 10 (34:03):
You're circling this one. Yeah, it's actually a pretty fun game.
This is my version of like a hard actually this.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well, we got you on the show again next week.
How don't we have another round at Christmas cracking next
week with you? Yeah, we'll check some more down. You
can catch Question Everything to night eight thirty on the
ABC and also get your tickets to Will legitimate. It
is your biggest story in five years? Is that?
Speaker 9 (34:35):
Right?
Speaker 8 (34:35):
Will?
Speaker 9 (34:36):
That is correct, although you know a couple of those weren't.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Really that's a fair point.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Thanks a much a dropping by, we'll appreciate it. Zacking
down for the big news for coffee stops of Australia today,
it turns out you're wrong if you think that you know,
some places do great coffees and I'd never buy a
cheap fast food coffee. Well you're just dead wrong, because
there's been a big news story that's come out that's
Hungry Jacks is actually one first place in Australia's largest
(35:04):
roasting competition, the Golden Bean. Hungry Jack's coffee is revered
and right up there with the best barista coffees. How
do you feel about that, Zach?
Speaker 9 (35:11):
Why?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
I find that interesting? I'd like to know more about
the competition.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
What you mean the Golden Bean?
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Well, sometimes I'm not calling question into the competition, but sometimes,
you know, you hear health studies come out. Turns out
they were sponsored by the fast food company.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Right, okay, someone with a vested interest. Who were the
other contestants in there?
Speaker 3 (35:30):
In the Golden Beans I'm not saying that Hungry Jacks
doesn't make great coffee.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I'm just saying, personally, not my cup of tea well coffee.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
So Zach is a renowned coffee snob. For those I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Him, I wouldn't identify.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
You order coffees that I've never heard of. You need
a chemistry kit to make the sort of coffees you want.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Sometimes Zach has said, let's meet at a cafe for coffee,
and I feel like I've walked into Snape's dungeon or something.
You Harry Potter, with the potions brewing everywhere.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I do have a low opinions on beans.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
You do.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Where they're from, how high they were grown have to
be over two thousand meters.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
You don't get that floral kind of fruity taste.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Half of Australia has just decided they hate you.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Hey, I'm telling you how to have your coffee. You
have your coffee as much as you like. I just
am preparing mine the way I like it.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Pretentious is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
But I can't make coffee that I like.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Is that what you're saying? What I'm saying is that
is when you get on the high horse about it
to the rest of us. And how how high does
the high horse have to be again for the beans
to grow?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Well, ideally two thousand meters.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Well, we wanted to put it to the test before
we wrapped up today. We've got two coffees here for you, Zach,
and we've made in the way you like them, long black,
no milk, no sugar. One of them is a revered
Barista coffee from a very hipster coffee shop down the road,
and the other hungry Jack's coffee. You got them both
in front of you. I want you to taste them
both and see if you can pick which one is
(36:56):
the the Barista coffee which rans the fast food coffee.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Smelling them immediately, I reckon, I can tell by snout.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Okay, I'm going to take coffee, the one with two
marks on it to the producers, so you guys know
which this one is.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Coffee too, coffee too? Jump in, Take a sip. What
do you taste?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Not much, to be honest, not getting hints of much
coming through. Very weak, very weak, and coffee is watered down.
Have you guys mess with this?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
No one's messed with anything at all. Jump on to
coffee one.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
They are kind of being brewed. How many hours ago? Now?
Speaker 9 (37:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Come, wait, don't make excuses. Coffee one? Mm okay, your
entire coffee credibility is on the line here. Which one's
the fast food coffee? Coffee one or coffee too?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I think, yeah, which one's the first food one? You're
tricking me and they're not. One isn't from a good.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Coffee one of those? Definitely.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
One is from one of your favorite coffee shops. And
the first coffee that I tasted was the good one.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
So coffee is that correct?
Speaker 7 (38:05):
Cause you are in shut it from down now?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Oh my gosh, easy fair? How long ago did you
get there? Because they taste very old.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
Hey, we're running a show here. You had to get
it a couple of you know, half an hour ago.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
No, I am tasting it now.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Your coffee credibility is gone?
Speaker 1 (38:30):
And is there?
