Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong out of that physic
feature Rose, Zach and.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Have you ever felt like this? Like s James, this
happens when's second ral kids?

Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is Zak and Don.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Yes, it is Thursday night. We're nearly there Australia, nearly
through another week. Zach, I feel like it is always
late March that the year starts to feel like, oh,
you know, we've done a bit. Now one quarter in
is it?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
One quarter?

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yeah? A quarter into twenty twenty five? Now where does
it go? Mate? We've said this before on the show,
but I reckon adult life is so much of just
going where does the time go? And then you die?
It's almost Easter? Yeah, you know what? Can I put
something here right now? When we get to October and
the Christmas decorations pop up in the shops, we're all
going to go, how is it Christmas decoration time? Already?

(01:08):
You're going to predict that, Yeah, you're going to predict that.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
People are going to say that this year.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
I reckon they might dude, you're crazy, And I'll even
go further. I reckon. Then when we get to Christmas,
people will go. Where did twenty twenty five go? Yeah,
just I don't feel I reckon that's going to happen
this year. I reckon that's what we can look forward
to have. We've got a big show coming your way
over the next couple of hours. Zach, I might have
had vindication in relation to some high school bullies. Really

(01:33):
thirty one years old. High school was a little while ago. Now, well,
I've seen something on Facebook that makes me feel like
something they used to bully me for. Maybe it's something
they've come full circle and maybe they're now like, actually,
Don was right and we were wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
May you think that?

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I just think maybe they've heard from any of them more. No,
they haven't reached out yet. But it's something that they're
doing that I did back in high school and they
thought was a bit uncoll, a bit daggy. And now
it's seemed to me that in their thirties, they're giving
it a shot. And to me, I just feel like
this is a big full circle moment. If I could
tell my my sixteen year old self, my fifteen year

(02:09):
old self, mate, it all works out. You're right, they're wrong.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
I know what you're talking about, and I'm not sure
if you're giving it the right characterization.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
I reckon, I am, I reckon, I am. We'll get
there shortly.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Coming up next day, would you like a million dollars
worth of ideas? Yes, we're giving away a million dollar
idea up next and it could be all yours.

Speaker 6 (02:31):
This is second off.

Speaker 7 (02:33):
We are giving away one million dollar idea. Imagine what
you could do with a million dollars of ideas from
us to you, tax free each million dollar idea.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Some radio shows and we won't name names here dom
but they just give away cold hard cash. But where
are they when that money drives up nowhere? They've left you,
not us. Instead of giving away money, we give away
a million dollar idea. You can take that idea and
make as much money as you want with.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
However, it can.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Only go to one person, if you'd like the idea
I'm about to pitch thirteen one oh sixty five. Everyone else,
you have to enter into a contract that you won't take.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
It legally binding the verbal contract. It's a non spoken
contract actually, but it is still legally hearing this.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yes, you are signing the contract.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
I think that's how it works. And is it?

Speaker 4 (03:28):
And every week I can't wait to hear the million
dollar lady you've come up with.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Well, Dom, we went on a farm stay recently, which
gave me the idea.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
For office stays. Now, what's the premise of a farm stay. Well,
people who live in the city go and taste the
country life.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah, but I was.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Thinking when I was looking at these farmers, I bet
you guys don't know what the city's like. So an
office day would be people from the country come, they
stay in the office.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
They clock in at eight o'clock. You'd learn how to
use a photocopy yard.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Because they do get you to like feed the animals
and milk the chores. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Yeah, yeah, So you'd probably join a few meetings, put
your lunch in the fridge, and do you stay at
a hotel near by?

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Do you actually? Because the thing about the farm staies
you stay on the farm.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
So where do you stay in the office?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well, I think this.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Would be an office space set up for this.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
Yeah, so I think you would sleep in one of
the board rooms or something like you're camping out.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yes, yeah, no, that's that's really good because it's you're
right like for you and I who grew up in
the suburbs and the cities of the country, getting a
taste of rural life. It's like it shows you the
part of like you have an experience.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
Yeah, when you get the cakes, the cakes in the kitchen,
email going yes, yes, if you're in the country, you
don't know that excitement.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
You don't and you're going to see that for the
very first time. Everyone.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
I still remember the first time I saw sales migrate
to the kitchen.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
It was a beautiful site I made.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
It's stunned, it is stunning, and I mean, I'm just
all these thoughts a running through my mind. Now, would
it be you know, sometimes you might go to a
country town for a holiday if you're a city slicker
and you come back with like in a kubra or
something is there? Would there would we sell sort of
city style merch like memorabilia souvenirs to to be an
emblem of your time that you had in the.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
In the city.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
I guess you could have a tie yep, checked, sure,
a stapler, yeah, just some.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Stationary Yeah, you could have a stapler. Yeah, that's a
good one. One.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Maybe like a business card.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
You are making me think when you go to a farm,
stay like they would have like a lot of jobs
to get done. It would because I'm just thinking if
you had a country person following you around as an accountant,
you'd probably see a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking
we must do that to them in the country when
we go to a farmer.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Well, yeah, but you got to remember that the setting
up of the farm stays and against their will. So
it's not like the people who run farms wake up
some day and the city slickers in the cabinet on
the It's like a lot of the time you've had
to put accommodation in.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
So I think they're well aware and prepared that people
are going to be on the farm.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
But just picture this. It's like eight thirty in the morning,
You're about to go to an all staff meeting and
the country folk walk out of their room and they're
in their pajama still yeah, and what do you say
to them, Oh, this is the morning meeting. Do you
want to come on in?

Speaker 5 (06:19):
And yeah, yeah, well you'd have you'd outline the day probably, yeah, okay,
it's a you know, just wander through the office throughout
the day. You get full range. That's the good farm stays. Yeah,
where you can kind of go do whatever you want.
And also all the activities would be included in the price.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, of because I hate when they do that at
farm stays.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
It's like extra to feed the cows or whatever. Yeah, okay,
so copying included shredding, basic shredding, yep. Yeah, basically, can
you have it go on an Excel spreadsheet? Yeah, because
I think I'd want to be taught how to use Excel.
I think that would be part of the fun.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, you could sit down with it. Yeah, double shoot
some problems.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
This is your best idea yet and it's a way
to get a bit. But they keep talking about post
COVID getting people stuck into the offices.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
There's probably a lot of office faces that are pretty
cheap to rent out now.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yeah, yeah, no, this is great. Look thirty one six five, Harry,
you've just heard off the stace for the first time.
Give us your gut reaction. What did you love about it?

Speaker 6 (07:20):
What's clicked with me before? When you solicited earlier, you
mentioned a stapler and so that's really clicks upping in me.
Stapela drop the E S.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
T A P l R.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
That's the name and our tagline connecting stages of life
to pages of strife, something that really make people look
forward to getting into the office. Like you said, getting
stuck in the elevator and getting stuck with unbearable people
around the elevator. What could go wrong?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
You've highlighted something.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
There's nothing more city slicker than dropping about out of
the name.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
That's a real start up kind of energy, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Yeah, now that's fair effect. And I do like the
idea as well, because you can imagine the country people
sort of standing next to you as you're doing what
seems like a monotonous task to you, and they're like, wow,
so that's how you laminate. Can you show me again? No?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
No, put your hands here? Do you want me to
guide you?

Speaker 4 (08:18):
And I like from Harry it's rare we get a tagline,
a marketing tagline on day one of the business. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
You don't often start with that.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
No, No, that usually comes flack. I'm pretty sure just
do it. Was a while into Nike's existence.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah, someone just didn't come into the office and they
just do it, and they go what's that and go.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
We'll leave it with you, guys.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Thirteen one day is excited. We are giving away Zac's
million dollar idea of office stays, an office version of
a farm stay for the country people to have a
taste of city life. Tanua in Sydney on thirteen one
oh six five Tanya, why do you want this million
dollar ready? What would you do with it?

Speaker 8 (08:55):
I just think it's a brilliant idea because the farmers
get to have a small reap in for a change.
They're not getting up of the crack of sparrows. Unfortunately,
they still have to deal with the stench of manure.
It's just a different stench in the city than it
is out on the farm. But I think it's probably

(09:17):
an easier life for them, you know, they don't have
to go out and tend the animals and feed them
and milk them. And I just think it's a brilliant idea.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, I think they would find it relaxing like we
do go into the farm because for them farm works
really difficult. For us, it's a relaxing time in the
country on the weekend. And I can imagine them with
a coffee yep, looking out the cubicle opening across all
the other cubicles thinking should we move here?

Speaker 4 (09:47):
We could live here? See I remember last time I
went to a farm stay and it was a lot
colder than I was used to in the city. So
I had a jumper on and I'm picturing you get
up one of them. If you know the office managers
teed their condition are down too cold, they'd be like,
oh so cold in city, isn't it putting a jumper
on there.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
It might get a little blanket, mate.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
This is this is one of your all time great
million dollar ideas City office days. You have Harry who's
got a tagline, and Tan you I think gets the
heart of the idea, the pulse of the idea.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
But only one of them.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
You know.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
At my heart, I'm a marketing man domin I can't
go past a good tagline.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
And that's why Harry, and now we congratulations.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
My dear so much. I'm bringing on this.

Speaker 6 (10:30):
I love the idea, lest manure more ball, I like that.
Get around it. You've got taglines out that through. Get
me a billboard.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I love it. Harry. Well, we can't wait to see
Stapler without the probably the a as well. To be honest,
you need to drop both of them on the APT
the stores shortly. And if you do run an office
anywhere nearby. Get ready to welcome the dairy farmers.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
Is you're listening to the Zack and Dom podcast.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Zack, I've got a bit of a rant to get
off my chest. If that's okay, well off the back fence.
It's just it's about dash can us.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
Oh yeah, we've been talking about this because cameras are
kind of everywhere at the moment. They are hard to
get away from them. You've got cameras on your front door. Yes,
people's got security cameras, dash cam footage.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
So I reckon. There is an exact crossover between people
who used to get mad at me when I was
in high school for knocking, for dobbing on people, and
people who now love using dash cams. There is there
is somebody in my life who at high school, I
remember they made my life hell because I dobbed once.
They have posted every time they see an accident on

(11:35):
dash cam goes on their Facebook page the full video
of the accident. Knacking, nacking, knacking, How is it not knacking?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Because that's something that's actually yeah, could cause legitimate damage.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Whereas so was the smoking in the bathrooms that I
told the teacher about. Did you actually yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:52):
Oh my goodness, mate in high school teenager.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is what that is.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
That's a real high level of narky.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Okay, tell me this. Why is me reporting one crime
to the teacher that's underage smoking? I reckon it is, mate, No,
underage smoking isn't a crime? Selling cigarettes to underage people
a crime?

Speaker 6 (12:14):
Well?

Speaker 4 (12:14):
The crimes involved there somewhere crime has occurred for them
to get the cigarettes, most likely. What's the difference between
me reporting that to the teacher and then capturing the
person only doing damage to themselves?

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Yeah, so if no one interferes, then no one they
have agency over their own lives. There's a traffic accident,
someone could be driving erradically and they could still be
out there.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, they could be caught.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Hang on a second, So you're telling me you don't
think dash care use is nacking. You don't think it's
dob adjacent, not even close to, mate.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
These people are breaking the law and they're dangerous. Like
because you shouldn't tell the teacher that some people left
the class early. If you witness a murder, keep your
mouth shut.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
It's not like at all. It's not like that at all.
I'm just saying this spirit is I'm going to dub
on people the dash can videos. It's a really serious thing. Well,
the dash can video this person posted wasn't about a
serious traffic accident. It was a minor praying that happened
to their car and they were trying to track down
the car that had done it.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Dash can't.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Okay, great, they've had their personal property damaged. So someone
there's been a victim. Whereas in the bathroom, the.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
School rules victims. School rules were the victim. Honestly, what happened. Yeah,
so hang on, they're smoking in the bathroom. I'm going
to deep dig into this a little bit.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, so what you smell?

Speaker 4 (13:38):
No?

Speaker 8 (13:39):
No, no.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
I was told about it, and I went to investigate.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Did people tell you because you were known to be No?

Speaker 4 (13:45):
No, no, Like it was just the talk, right, So
buzz went around, Oh some of the guys, was like,
ne'ar a bubby, some of the guys are smoking in
the bathrooms. Great and no, Well, I heard that some
of the guys were smoking the bathroom. I needed to
go to the bathroom. I didn't want to smell at smoke,
So I went into one of the teachers. Apparently some
of the guys are speaking in the bathroom. They got expelled.

(14:08):
But that's I didn't again that I used the equivalent
of a dash cam. That's dash cam in high school level.
That's what I did there. Totally reasonable, totally justifiable, making
sure that the laws are being followed.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
I remember in high school someone photo copied their face
in the photocopy. Yeah, and it was dispersed by one
of the teachers, and I was too slow to run away,
and they sat me down and they said, if you
don't tell me who it is, you're not going to
the former. I said, I'm not going to the form all.
Then we don't speakm we don't tell the teachers.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, look, I break easy, I'll get you. I'm just
saying I think I think now we're finally celebrating Dobbers
in a way that I wish i'd had when I
was younger. That's what I'm getting it. I wish back
then people who'd gone thanks Tom, community service. I don't
think you understand dobbing.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
I think that's what's going on here.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Do you mean, how do I not understand Dobby.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
There's a Bluey episode that explains this.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Actually, oh great, so let it go.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
No dobbing unless there's someone's safety is being compromised.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Have you heard about lung cancer.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
That you're concerned.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
You ran panting into the principal's office in fifty to
sixty years This could do serious.

Speaker 7 (15:25):
Damage the Zac and Tomb podcast.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
You may know her from her time on thank God
you're here.

Speaker 9 (15:36):
Thank God you're here. Your hearing is about to start.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
How good I told you to wear something appropriate?

Speaker 9 (15:40):
What is appropriate about that outfit? This is my business list.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
Or from her critically acclaimed show that was actually good
at Melbourne Comedy Festival.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's not the process of meditating that I'm bader. It's
the thing I struggle with is the voice. I think
what I'm looking for in a meditation voice is like
a deeply menopausal former pe teacher and I'll just put
my headphones into meditate and she would go a girls breath,
then breath that you get what you get and you
don't get upset.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Please welcome to the Zach and Don Show, Jillian coins Griff,
get so excited to welcome to the show. Now one
of the funniest people in the country, Jillian Colors Griff,
thank you so much for joining us. Jullian, thank you
for having me. We are so excited to welcome you
in the midst of I guess this feels like comedy
season in Australia, doesn't it. I mean, do you feel
like you just have to block out the first kind

(16:29):
of five months of every year to tour around and
do the various festivals.

Speaker 6 (16:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (16:33):
Absolutely, I just get on that circuit and just keep rolling.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
But Melbourne Comedy Festival particularly really feels like comedy Christmas.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Your show actually won Best Show a few years ago.
Does that make it easier? Now?

Speaker 5 (16:45):
Are you treated like your royalty when you rock into
the Melbourne International Comedy Festival?

Speaker 9 (16:52):
Yeah, people are rolling out carpets for me all the time.
Oh it's really nice. No, it's it's kind of it's
a magical thing.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I never expected to even be nominated, and so for
the first year I got nominated to win.

Speaker 9 (17:04):
That's it. You can't win again. Pressures off, tick done.
I don't have to keep doing this. I could quit,
you know.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Well, and it's an interesting question, Jillian, because I know,
I mean, you've ascended so much further out the ladder
than than Zachary have. But I know someone asked me
once a little while ago, like, I, when do you
feel in the sort of comedy world that you've made it?
At what point do you do you lose that voice
of imposter syndrome of sort of doubt on the shoulder.
Is the answer just never?

Speaker 9 (17:32):
The answer is just never.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I once heard a brilliant interview with Sarah Pasco, who's
a British comedian.

Speaker 9 (17:38):
She was on a show this week, she was with
us last She's so great.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
I ran into her at the festival and I was like,
don't quote any of the things she said in podcasts
back to her that have been cool, But I heard
I said this great thing once where she was like
most comedians I know could have done something else, Like
mostly they're like kind of smart, ambitious people, but what
they have in common is that a lot of them
are over as and so we've all picked a job

(18:02):
that it's impossible to win at because a tiny voice
in our head goes, but what if.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
I can yes?

Speaker 5 (18:08):
And that kind of leads to your new show, I
think fresh new worries that tiny voice, that overthinking, little
voice in your head. I was wondering because this show
is all about well, it's for overthinkers, stress heads and
worry warts.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Have you Have you had any fresh new worries hit you?
Just today?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I got really hyper focused at four thirty about whether
I should own a juicer or not. Yeah, that's an
important because I was like, should I be doing comedy
festival if I'm not.

Speaker 9 (18:32):
Juicing every days? Is a responsible?

Speaker 4 (18:35):
So where have you landed on the juicer front?

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Look, I've saved three on Facebook Marketplace and I'm.

Speaker 6 (18:40):
Watching and that you do.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
You do the same thing as me, where it's like
you're kind of on the fence and you're like, I'll
see if that's still there in a week.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (18:48):
I love to do that. I love to watch it.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
And then also like I'll watch something for ages. I
just bought a skirt on Deep Up that I've been
watching for.

Speaker 9 (18:54):
Two full years.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Whoa, that is the long game. Yeah, it really is.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
It's something also about like a deep seated catholic guilt
about spending money.

Speaker 9 (19:04):
Yeah, but that and then suddenly on a whim, I'll
be like, actually buy it all.

Speaker 6 (19:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
So is there anything else currently sitting that you've got
bookmarked on a tab that you come back to every
now and then like an air fryer or something that
you're like, one day I might commit to this, but
I'm not ready yet.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Oh there's this retro storage cabinet that obviously radio is
a visual medium.

Speaker 9 (19:22):
It's just windgreen. It's so many drawers. I haven't kipped
my eye on that for a while.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
And do you have the fantasy like me that because
they don't know that you've been watching it, And so
I have this fantasy that I'll start interacting with the
seller and they'll try to give me a bit of
a con job about why they can't drop the price,
and I'll be able to pull out the trump card.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Well, actually, I know it's been up there for two years.
I know other buyers around.

Speaker 9 (19:47):
I know Norell.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I know it's just you and me, and I know
you can deliver from Caroline Springs, a made up suburb.

Speaker 9 (19:56):
I love going to a.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Suburb I've never heard of, to be like, am I
going to get murdered? Or am I going to get chairs?

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Wow? See that reminds me of a few years ago.
I was like decking out a podcast studio at home
and I needed some sort of office chairs, some swivel chairs,
and I found a guy who lived half an hour
away who his garage. He just had like thirty or
forty almost brand new looking office chairs, and I could
not figure out what the story behind these office chairs was.
Has he done some sort of a heist of an

(20:22):
accountancy for what's the story there?

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Maybe was this post COVID because you could just go
into empty offices in the city and just like clean
them out.

Speaker 9 (20:30):
No one was there.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah, I wonder if that happened, if any officer's got ransacked.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
We got a smoke machine once on Marketplace, and we
go to the guy's house and he kept inviting us
into deeper and deeper room, and.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
He had all his like military militia stuff around.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
I was honestly like I had zero zero in my
phone ready to hit that last one.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
It turns out he was actually a really nice guy.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
I think in the same way that like single friends
of mine will go on a date and send you
a message being like, Hey, I'm going on a date.

Speaker 9 (21:01):
This is the guy I'll text you when I get home.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
I've been in a relationship for twelve years, but it's
nice to know that through Facebook Marketplace, I can still
feel the thrills being like going.

Speaker 9 (21:12):
To try on address in Brunsick West.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
If you don't heard, well, look Jillian Cosgris news show
is called Fresh New Worries. You can catch it now
and grab your tickets online. Jillian, thank you so much
for joining the show.

Speaker 9 (21:25):
Thanks having me.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Bye.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
This is second Tom.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
I've got an easter chocolate question for you. Zac. Is
it common acceptable courtesy behavior to buy yourself an Easter
bunny and just start sort of snacking on it as
you're wandering through the shops after you've left.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Oh, you could do whatever you want.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
I guess I've never seen, like, if I think about
it now, I've never seen anyone doing that. Okay, I've
never seen to be completely honest with you, I've never
seen anyone over twelve eating an Easter bunny like in public. Okay, cool,
Well I did that And just what got yourself for
a seven dollar What was it? Cadbury Easter bunny? Crack

(22:08):
the top open? Yeah, like someone having a Tolley in
the park.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
Just as I was walking through the Westfield on my
way back to my car, just snacking on an Easter bunny,
just started nibbling on the air.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
Talk to me about the thought process in the supermarket.
Are you getting groceries.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Yeah, yeah, And you know, I thought, well, I'll give
myself a tree. That's not uncommon. I mean, you get
yourself a chocolate bar every now and then. I see
that humans do this, and I thought, we'll whind on
an Easter bunny. I'd love to have an Easter Bunny.
There was like twenty five percent off, so I bought
myself one, and I was leaving and I thought, if
I had like a if I had like a you know,
a Mars bar in my hand right now, I wouldn't

(22:44):
be embarrassed about popping that open and having a go
in the shop. So why can't I start this Easter
Bunny here and now?

Speaker 5 (22:49):
But why are you embarrassed? Because you've been a long
time buyer of Kinder Surprises. That's true, the egg with
a toy inside for children?

Speaker 4 (22:59):
It's not for children, that's your assumption.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Hinder literally means child German, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
I think I don't think we've got the final translation
on that.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
But what I'm saying is that Easter Bunny is a
more mature choice. Well, it was a humpty dumpty with
Smarties inside.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
Here's the thing about that.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
But it was wasn't it a real well respected cabri.
I mean, look at those little bunnies. They're in little vests,
aren't they.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
They might have had a tie on a grown up
chocolate it is.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
I couldn't agree more. But here's the problem, right, so
kind of surprise, it's quite small, it's nimble. I could
I can snack on a surprise and no one.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Would know you put it in your jacket.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
H yeah, a big easter bunny. I'm like, it's both.
It's a both hands.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
The actions Dom just did it lifted both hands to
show me what that means. That's inappropriate.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
It's it's both, and it's what I'm getting at. It's
it's it's a big thing to be holding, right, you're
sort of hoeing into it, having a nibble. And I
was eating this easter bunny. I'm eating this easter bunny
as I'm walking through the westfield and I thought, I
also haven't seen anybody do this before, But I thought
it'd be fine. But this middle aged guy walking past
me decides to wisecrack.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
What does he say, leave some for the rest of us.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Really, yes, we move someone for the rest of us.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Now, were you would you describe it as hoeing in.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
I got it fully. Yeah, Yeah, I would have said.
I would have said it was a full mouth a
mouthful of Easter bunny. Yeah, I would say that.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
But still, were you eating with such verocity that you
feel like that, Well, it was a scene.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
I would say it crumbled on me because easter chocolate
can do that, can't it.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
Well you want to do a controlled demolition, Yeah, you
get to fall inside this didn't.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
This sort of crumbled as you're kind of like trying
to catch it and stuff.

Speaker 6 (24:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Did you leave any for him?

Speaker 1 (24:57):
No?

Speaker 4 (24:59):
I didn't. But I think that's a totally I want
to normalize people buying themselves an Easter Bunny and just
walking through the shops eating it. Why is that a problem?
Why is that we it?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
How often are you getting heckled? Not often in the
Superman very first time that.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
A stranger has yelled at you, I think that's the
first time.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Well, you had that guy at Cole's once, Oh, when he.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Got mad when I brought a coal's baking.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
Cole And I'm remembering one now to someone how to
go at you for picking up sticks in the park.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Didn't mate that?

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, this is just off the top of my head.
What do you mean you've never.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Been yelling at you said in the shopping center. You
didn't even more specific mate, you're listening to the Zag
and Dom podcast.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Cooks Conversations.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
Man, we think we're doing a radio show, but it's
been pointed out to us that maybe we're not. If
you just slow down slightly some of the things we've
been talking about. It goes from being a radio show
to two am.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
At the back of a party, picture the outdoor furniture.
There's the subtle sort of sound of the music still
playing as someone tries to start cleaning up, and there's
two guys sitting there chatting. Apparently, our show slightly slowed
down does sound exactly like that.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
We've had some of these recently, Claire, what are we
going to hear?

Speaker 6 (26:15):
Well?

Speaker 10 (26:16):
The other every day we talk about make my Day
at the end of the show, and the other night
you guys were kind of saying it's coming up in
the show shortly. Yeah, but maybe Zach you didn't love
the idea of talking about it before it happens.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah, Well that was me trying to hook the segment. Yeah,
that's right.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
I don't know why you're still talking?

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Yeah, what are you doing? Are we on there? What's
the what's your problem? Hold? Yeah? Yeah, No, Well you
didn't particularly like I think you thought I'd gone off

(26:59):
track there, But did you do know what got stuck
into you? Actually you refused to play the ads in
the in the moment that felt like a two am
cook conversation.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, what was that that was going through your head?

Speaker 4 (27:10):
I think I was thinking about the snack I was
going to have post show.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Right, so it was a rare lapse.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Shut up, shut up? What's the next time we got clear? Dom?

Speaker 10 (27:20):
You guys were talking about guilt around AI and your
use of it.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Yes, I feel bad whenever I have to ask chat
gibt or Meta AI to do too many things for me,
kind of like it's going to go. That's not fair.
You're asking too much.

Speaker 10 (27:32):
Zach thought you might be a little bit too attached.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Okay, you put eyes on something, and Dom has an attachment.
You think I'd form emotional attachment to the toaster, Yes,
because that has eyes on it. Yeah, if you were
a speech trouble that said morning Dom, yeah, one hundred percent,
it would have a name and Tim the toaster.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Yeah, Tim the toaster that happened at your house yet
that's it happened yet?

Speaker 4 (28:02):
But if you do, I mean, this is the thing.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
There's a marketing employee there, what do you mean. I've
never seen clients since with personalities.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
That's a good point because there are a lot of
people who if you're buying a toaster and instead of
saying rebel, it said tim And it had like a
bio about tis Well, you know the clocks that are cats?

Speaker 6 (28:20):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's very kitch, isn't it. So is there
a whole range of those should be? Yeah, there could
be something we could explore. What's the other last cook
conversation we got clear?

Speaker 10 (28:29):
Well, the budget came out earlier this week, and you
guys were talking about things that people really wanted.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Okay, I would just love the budget to come out
with a real surprise, like water guns for everyone.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
There's a cost of living crisis. Yes, give us all
olive oil.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, that'd be good to everyone. Go to Woolli's tomorrow
kind of like you know, you used to have the
half priced no do you know what that? Still? No
politician has stepped up to that, And I reckon if
you let those guys come up with a federal budget
each year be a lot more interesting. It could bankrupt Australia.

(29:09):
Very quickly, I thought, that's what America is trying.

Speaker 7 (29:13):
The Zack and Tom podcast.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
Surehead, make my day?

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Are you ready?

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Dom, We're trying to do our part for the little holidays,
the holidays you've.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Never heard of.

Speaker 5 (29:28):
That's why each night I bring two to the show,
each occurring in the next twenty four hours. You and
I have to pick one each to become ambassadors for
to hopefully raise awareness of these lesser known holidays.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Yeah, that's how it works. And what we are just
about to hit another Friday's like Friday, the twenty eighth
of March. What do we got coming up on the
twenty eighth?

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Wear a hat Day?

Speaker 4 (29:49):
Interesting? Yeah? Again, Sometimes the timing of the day surprised me.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Well, a lot of are North American, but I mean
in Australia you should be wearing hats year round.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Well you should be, but I just would have thought
this would have been a day that would put, you know,
right the highest summer and it's not the heighest summer anywhere.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Right now, I'm looking at your forehead, Yes, what about
it and thinking that maybe you could have used this
advice recently.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
I did get a bit someone over the weekend. I
think I'm fine now on I can still see it,
can you it's been four days.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Do you not wear a hat? No, when you were
out at midday?

Speaker 4 (30:20):
My hair doesn't like hats.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Your hair.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah, my hair goes all funky when I try to
put a hat on. Yeah, that's called hat hair. You're
not the first person.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
You're not the first person to observe that.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
I'm aware of that. I'm just saying my hair in
particular goes even funkier than usual. Yeah, so I can't
get away with a hat easily.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Well, either you could bring a brush.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Yeah, you could leave your hat on while you're out
and about, or you could just grow up and be
coming out of Well.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
I've considering one of those people who takes an umbrella
around for sun safety, yeah, instead of a parasol.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I like that.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah. Well, I think so too, because like it also
gives you like a shell, like a little thing to
hide in and protection. I like it because it's a
good protection against magpies in spring. Ah, that too. Win's
all around has anyone ever invented a hat with like
an umbrella on top of the hat?

Speaker 7 (31:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Have you never seen those?

Speaker 4 (31:13):
No? I have it. I'm pretty sure Gonzo wears one
in the Muppets. I'm just thinking that'd be great magpie protection.
That'd be good stuff.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
It's also something on a stick day.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
Okay, talk to me about this one food on a
stick celebrating all different stick foods, whether it be toffee, apples,
dag with dogs, dag with dogs, kebabs, corn cobs, now
run out of foods on a stick, marshmallows and the campfire.
You've got a favorite food on a stick. Well, before
I was a vegetarian, i'd have to say, da, you're

(31:48):
a dag with dog guy. Oh yeah, they don't make
vegetarian version.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Well, to be fair, the dagwed dog could be vegetarian.
We don't know what's in there?

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Is it me?

Speaker 5 (31:59):
It's a very good I did have one as an
adult because I love them as an adolescent.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I had one as an adult, not as good. It was, okay,
but it made me feel pretty.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
See, I reckon you could do as a dago dog
just the batter. You don't even need a filling in there,
just like a doey treat. Yeah, you know what I mean,
I reckon that'd be just as much of the effect.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
What's your favorite food on a stick? It would be
a big stick man.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Nah, I don't even know what that means. No, not really,
not really, because I don't like the texture of biting
into the stick. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
You know when they have you have, like a kebab? Yeah,
like at a barbiecue.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Are you the type of person? Will you nibble it
off or slide it off?

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Slide it off generally with a fork onto a plate nose?
That's like, yeah, that's a lot.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Big red flag?

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (32:47):
In what way?

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Posh?

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Yeah? Right, no, no, no, I'll do I'll use the
old teeth the chompers, but I will I'll grab hold,
slide it off the kebab and then consume bit by
bit by bit by bit. And how the nibble ruins
the structural integrity of the meat. Yeah, well the other
side falls off, that's what I mean. Yeah, so nightmare
if you try to do that.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
How about a fruit kebab a your fan?

Speaker 4 (33:07):
Oh if there's a chocolate fonder around, not an idiot?

Speaker 3 (33:11):
No, No fruit kebab? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Yeah, that's like a stick with a like fruit pieces
of fruit on it, yes, yeah, and you dip it
in chocolate fa Yeah, you don't have to dip it
in chocolate.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
You can just have it on its own. People eat fruit, Yeah,
I understand that.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
I've never had a fruit kebab without a chocolate fond
doing nearby personally.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
When was the last piece of fruit you ate?

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Actually an hour ago? A papple? I love papples. I'm
so hooked on papples. What is a it's an apple
pear hybrid. Have you never had a paple?

Speaker 3 (33:44):
All right?

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Purple pears they're called mate, papple pears. I am absolutely
hooked on them.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
When was the last time you had fruit that was
naturally occur.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
But that's that's judgmental. Wellple pear is a naturally occurring fruit, mate,
there's nothing wrong with a paple pear? Oh yeah, in
the fields there you are so discrimin. Come on, come on, mate,
Have you never had a.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Purple of course? Not because I eat fruits. Yeah, that
adults eat. That's not ones that they invented for children.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
And your favorite one is the fairy flos grapes. It's
not true. It is true. I don't like the fairy
floss grapes anymore. Now back to normal grapes. But they're
best frozen. Have you ever had a frozen grape?

Speaker 5 (34:32):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (34:32):
Yeah, I have had a frozen grape.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
I recently discovered sour sultanas. Oh good stuff. They make
them for kids, and my kids hated them. They're really good.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
They add citric acid to sultanas so they taste like
sour skins.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
So you're okay with this one? Because when I have
a genetically engineered fruit, because.

Speaker 5 (34:50):
Firstly, it's not genetically engineered, neither of them, and secondly,
I purchased them for my children and they didn't want it.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Which of these do you? Then? Mate? Take your pick.
I want you to wear a hat, all right.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
I want to bring back the fedora days.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Oh lord, no, that's not happening. The foodora that I
once owned is very much binded. That's long gone.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
And I'll do food on a stick or whatever.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
That's all for this episode of the Zack and Doom podcast.
