Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that Disney
beaker rolls Zach and.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Have you ever have a joke like this, like Jane,
this happens? When's second al kids?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is zak and oh the clock's gone eight pm.
It's time for Zach and Dom whoa last day of March? Mate,
We're a couple of hours reading April late. I always
feel like you're really into the year when April rocks.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Up well in Australia too, Yeah, you know, someer is
well and truly gone by then, and sometimes summer lags
a little bit, hangs around in March and you're like,
we're done with that. Yeah, let's move on. Because over
Christmas it's fun. Well, that's true, to go to the beach,
have barbecues. When you're working.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
You don't want it to be although it's a bit cool.
I mean some parts of the country you're already having
to get the thick winter code out at the moment,
and I'm like, really, by the end of March, that's it.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
You don't share long like the perfect weather did.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It's a tiny glimpse. It's like, but I always think,
because by the time April rolls around, Christmas is just
a distant memory.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I thought you were about to say we're ramping up.
I thought, no, we can't do that. I thought you
were going to do some type of like, well, it's
almost tax time, and then you know after that, school's
almost over.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Then again the countdown's on. Mate, We're off and running.
We're off and running.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Because you have that type of attitude about the week,
don't you. What do you mean, aren't you kind of
like by Wednesday, the week's over. Oh, by Wednesday, the.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Week's getting good. But you get the time you get
to Wednesday night, you can taste the weekend. I reckon
because by the time you work on Thursday, you can
say tomorrow's Friday, right exactly, And that's a game change.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You're very visceral when it comes to describing days of
the week. Well, you often smell them, taste the mate.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I live an embodied life, but I will say, as
exciting as it might be to hit April, there is
a significant downside to what tomorrow brings.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, psa April Fool's Day. This gets you every year,
doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I have been April fooled many times, and I mean
I'm not too proud to admit it. I'm a sucker
for an April Fool's Day prank.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, because you don't check things at the best of
the time.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Well, you wake up bleary eyed and you're scrolling through
your phone and suddenly added as have decided it'd be
funny to pretend that they're building a soccer goal as
big as the Great Wall of China. And you've seen
the image. You're like, how are they going to construct that?
Where would they get the materials?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I think tonight on the show, we should do a
type of PSA because this would be news to a
lot of people listening. They'd go, oh, yeah, it is
April Fools. I need to put a reminder on my phone.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, you've got to be ready for it because it
can catch you. If not, we'll get there shortly.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
This is second time we found out over the weekend
we're going to the balls. There's a federal election on
one for Prime Minister.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I always think this is the most interesting of them.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Of course it is.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You know when you have to go vote for like
your local council, and it's like when you find out
they exist.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, you're like, oh, I've seen that name around. Is
that what you do?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, I've got the fridge magnet that came in the.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Post classic councilors. They only come out like every whatever
it is, three years or something. Have you ever seen one?
Not in an election time? No?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No, they vote, they get voted, and then they disappear
for a huge and.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Then states like medium and then federal's the big leagues.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, it's like the Hollywood, right, it's the big stuff.
And what is the date? We've got?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Saturday? May three? So that's roughly pretty bang on a month?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, a month. Do we get to wake up on
a Saturday morning, head off, get a democracy sausage by
a slice of carrot cake at the local school fete,
and vote.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Now we're wondering, thirteen one oh six five? Has this
messed up your plans? Yep? Yeap, May three were just
a month away. Did you have something that's now going
to be impacted by an election being on? Maybe it
was a big sporting carnival. Then you had to use
a school and now you're like, oh, well the schools
are going to be used for voting.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I would imagine birthday parties, Yeah, wedding days.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
That's wedding days. Can you imagine you've been planning your
wedding for years, You're just a month out, you're crossing
the t's and dotting the eyes. You're almost done. An
election is called. That's going to mess everything up.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Well, especially if you've booked a church, because they often
like to do the voting in local churches.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Maybe you could all go together, that would be that
would be fun.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Well, I'm just thinking, what if you're still getting married
in the church and they've got the voting booth set up.
I'm just not sure it's as romantic to you know,
be told which box you're putting the yellow paper in
and which one the white paper go.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Maybe you could make your wedding kind of election themed.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I like that. I mean I don't know how that
worked well when I signed the papers. Yeah, you'd put
them into like a cardboard box.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, that's nice. And what you could do is you
can get members of the extended family to set up
like a panel TV conversation through the night where they
sort of talk about how they think the wedding's going.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I think you would rank the bridal party by preference.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
One to six, make sure you number every box.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
And obviously the cheapest wedding catering of all time. Sausages,
sausage sizzle. Actually that's how you get away with the
cheapest wedding catering of all time. You could honestly have
election themed doting and say it's a barbecue.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, yeah, maybe that's the benefit. Then if you're getting
married on May third, yep, But what is the election
stuffed up for you? Maybe you're planning on camping that weekend.
You can still do it, you can early vote, But
I mean you've got a plan now, See, I'm actually
the opposite of it inconveniencing me.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I think the original plan was that we're going to
do it in mid April, and I was going to
be away. I was going to be in the desert
in at Alice Springs, and I thought this is going
to be awful for me. So actually the new date
May three, that's convenience to me compared to the original plan.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But that's not what we're asking. We know that thirteen
one oh six five.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
How is the May third election called over the weekend? Yes,
inconvenience to your life? What is it messed up? Might
not allowed to share my story? So we can.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I'd just like to keep it on track. Well, you're
worle will get confused.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So you're saying if someone was sitting there right now
with their phone and they're about to call thirty and
one sixty five to say I have tickets to a
show that night on May the third, this is a
nightmare for me. And then I tell a story of
the wedding, the election conveniencing me, They'll be like, what
am I calling for it?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
To hang on? I'm confused now, Yeah, you're diluting it.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Okay, So I'm sorry. If that one person now has
their phone in their hand, what would you like them
to call for?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Has the May third election called over the weekend? Inconvenienced Youew?
What is it messed up? What plan can't you go
through with? Or do you have to adapt? Thirteen one
oh six five We.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Have Chris in Melbourne. You're saying that this election is
an inconvenience for you, Chris, but so is every election here.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
It is what happens because I live across the road
from the school. Yeah yeah, So when people come from
and they were to park. There is a park in
my driveway or across it, and there's pretty much for
the whole day, and I just can't get my car
out out of the driveway.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I mean conveniently, Chris, you can just walk over to
the cake store get yourself like a fruitcake or something.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
I can do that to vote, But if I have
other plans that I have to get to, true, I
can't do it with like you know, a couple of
times where there's been something that I couldn't get out
of having to take texts which cost me a fortune.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, trying your Prime minister for that. Yeah, going for
whoever can fix this? Now? People parking over driveways? Is
that the thing that makes people angriest?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I reckon on my local community Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah, you get fired up, don't you. Oh you can
turn so quickly fat if someone's parked across my driveway,
even if it's like an uber picking up someone next door,
I'll be on it in fifteen seconds. I'll notice and
I'm looking out the window. Who's that for? What's that
doing there? You're not going to get out of the car,
you may well?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
And it is tricky as well, if you live in
an area that suddenly gets congested, Like I had a
friend who lived in a suburb that went wild on
Christmas lights.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, that would suck.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And they were like every night in the sn you
could have friends over, you can get out because their
street was like blocked down.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Wouldn't a school get busy every afternoon? I thought that
would be use to having cars around.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
And when you buy the property, you probably had a
fair idea that the school.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The school would have been there. They're not often opening
new schools in suburban areas because the land kind of
needs to be have existed for one hundred years.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
We're asking on thirteen one oh six five, with the
federal election called for May the third, has that thrown
your plans out as that inconvenience to you? Russell, this
is potentially ruined a holiday you had planned. Yeah, here
you go, Well, Russell tell us the story.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Yeah, we've booked a trip to Great Ocean Road. I'm
got the caravan, park, books and everything. It's going to
take the kids away. And then yeah, got announce that
the day we want to leave is we've got to vote.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So what are you going to do? Are you going
to get up early to the polls or do you
get your vote in early? What do you do?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
I don't really know. I think we might just postplane
the holiday and go home for the weekend, go motorbike
riding at the farm instead.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I think, well that sounds pretty good me.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Be honest, I feel like Russell wasn't that committed to
the holidays. He's already took. But early voting and postal
voting is relatively easy.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
It is so easy to vote, like like you don't
even need to register anywing. You just got to show up.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Like like it feels like the first mild inconvenience. And
Russell's like, well, cancel the plane.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
He really wants to go motibike because Russell, you do
know you can go and vote early for the weeks
leading up to it.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Oh yeah, I didn't know that, but I forgot.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
This is a guy who doesn't want to go to
the Great Ocean Road. He's in his mind.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
He's got a new motorbike and he's been itching to
get it out on the farm.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Say My Pay, Say My Pay? Tell us what you
do and what they pay you for? And this is
our national pay survey our number thirteen one oh sixty five.
You call it. You stay at non and all you
do is you give us your job titles. It From
that information we can figure out how much you were
and that's our special power.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
We think that's our theory and we're putting it to
the test now. So thirteen one oh six five if
you think we might be surprised by your salary, and
we'll play Sami Pi. We've got a storage consultant kicking
things off on thirteen one oh six five. What is
a storage consultant? Hi, I'm a storage consultant. Essentially sells
(10:28):
storage spaces for people to store excess goods or stock
for their business. Okay, so do you work at one
of these these precincts that have like warehouses out in
the back and everyone gets like a little shed.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Do you know what's going in the storage? Not all
the time, no.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Because you often see it in like movies and TV shows,
don't you? But like this, well, either.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
There's kind of nefarious goods I guess, or sometimes people
are living in there, or sometimes like with Storage Wars, Yes,
I've seen that show where you can like bid on
old storage kind of garages and you get whatever's in there.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
I mean, we'll guess your salary in a moment. But
to begin with, can you tell us how much, like
for a year, how much would one of those those
garages cost?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
It depends.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It varies from fifty dollars a month to five twenty
five a month.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Okay, fifty dollars a month is good. When do we
get for that?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Probably just a closet we have a five twenty five
a month is cheap rent.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You're not allowed to live there though?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Is that is that you're not allowed to live there?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Oh? No way, no, would they know that that? Yeah,
well the security cameras, I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Well, what do you reckon a storage consultant is taking
home each year?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Sixty?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh? Mate, there's money in storage. Okay, well I'm going
to go eighty five?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Storage consultant? Fifty five? Fifty five? Okay, Well, it's not
quite as much money in storage as I thought there
might have been, but it's I reckon you'd feel like
the a king of a little arshle having that whole compound.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Those compounds do look like castles. They kind of a.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Multi story now we'll moved through a registered nurse, a
pediatrics nurse. I'm thirteen, one oh six five. As we
continue playing, say my pay, how long have you been
working as a nurse?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Four years? Wow, that's pretty new. You're loving it?
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah, yeah, I love it. It's very good.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, Okay, what's the most challenging part of the job?
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I would say, like the high demands, Like, yeah, I
work with the kids, but you know, it's always someone
needing something.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
I guess, like it's stressful.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Can I ask? Because this is always people love watching
medical shows like Gray's Anatomy and things like that. Is
a hospital actually like that? Not really, not really where
I work.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Maybe like in other places in emergencies and things, but
not not really.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah. I always think they've got a lot of time
to have relational dramas in the midst of the.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Hospital's getting a workplace, you're going to have people you
get along with people you don't.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
There's been fewer moments in my radio career where an
emotional ballad could play as I turned to camera and
start crying about my co worker I'm in love with.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, well, there's only three of us here. So if
you say, if you came out and suddenly said, you're
in love with someone at work. Producer Clare and I
are going to be giving each other weird looks.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Who is it? What do you think for a pediatric
n four years in?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Because I think it goes up each year, I would
say eighty, Yeah, I reckon it might be.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
More like ninety two and a half. What is it,
pediatric nurse?
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Well, I think last year I made about ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Okay, there we go, all years in. Not bad.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Well, they deserve it.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I'm not saying they don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
That's for your opinion, and I agree with it.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
This is an idea for people to pick jobs, or
maybe you want to change your job. Maybe you're a
high schooler listening going where should I go? Nursing? Pretty good.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
This is really handy though, because we can now compare
what you get paid for looking after the healthcare of
humans to looking after the healthcare of animals. We have
a vet nurse on thirteen one oh six five aitness.
How long have you been in the game? About five years?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Okay, favorite animal? What is it? Yeah? Doctor, that's a
good call.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Can I ask and we'll guess in a moment, But
do you regret going into veterinary work or do you
love it?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I love it because it's rewarding and I get the
help where they don't get a lot of help.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, because people do say that it's it's a lot
of work for not much pay, don't they?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
That's right?
Speaker 8 (14:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Dom watched one documentary like ten years ago, and he's
always talking about this, honestly, like he's watched three documentaries
in his life, and this is one of them. He's
always talking to me about vets and how much they get.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
It was SBS Insight. I don't know why up watching it,
but captivating stuff about the life of a vet.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
No, so we just heard a pediatric there's ninety seven.
I think it's going to be less. I'm going to
say seventy five.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Man, I think it could be more like sixty. What
is it, vet nurse, it's between fifty and sixty.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
We care less about our pets than humans, obviously, which
I think probably is the right way.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But we should probably care as much about our vet nurse.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well that's a good point.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And again this was the compelling point that was made
on SPS Insight. But how we don't have there's no
Medicare for animals, right, so our medicine is a lot
cheaper because of Medicare. There's no medicare for animals.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Is that still available on SBS on demand?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
If you look up SPS Insight The Life of a Vet.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I don't recommend.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
The Zac and Tom podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Tom it is April Fool's Day tomorrow, Yes, And I
feel like this creeps up on people sometimes because it
is in the calendar. Yep, you should be able to
see it coming, and yet every year people are tricked.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Well, it is funny, right, because it's got me numerous times.
I'll find myself waking up bleary eyed. I scroll through
the phone and I'll see a new story and go, no, way,
we've made contact with aliens? And then what will happen
on a good year? I'll see another story and it
will click that it's April falls on a bad year.
I'll send the link to someone or talk to someone
(16:22):
about it, and I find out in that humiliating fashion.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, do you remember any that you went around the family?
I mean within the family's fine, but like if you
start talking to a coworkers a bit embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, Well that's where it can be humiliating. Do I
remember any specifically. I mean, there's probably been a dozen
that have got me over the years, because it happens
every year that companies will try to put one out there.
I think there's some about films that have got me.
You know they're planning on making an ET two or
things like that.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Yeah, I guess that's somewhat believable. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Yeah, if you want to know the least believable one
that's got me, there was one about alien contact that
when I was nineteen or twenty years old, just couldn't
believe we'd actually made contact with aliens. And I remember, seriously.
I remember calling my dad and saying, Dad, stop what
you're doing. Like he was at work, and he said,
what's going on? And I was like, we've made first contact,
aliens have gotten in touch. And my dad, because he's
(17:14):
a lot like me, it was like, no way, send
me the link and he was reading it and it
took my mum to go, guys, you.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Know your dad made this story.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, he read the stories well, and he was like,
that's incredible.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It's unbelievable that he didn't drop.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Well, we just we get we're enthusiastic guys, we get excited.
What can I say? And it is it's a really
hard day because it's the one day year. The rest
of the day, sure, you shouldn't believe what you read
on Facebook anyway the rest of the year, but it's
the one day where actively companies are trying to trick you.
It's hard stuff, mate.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Now, you came to me today and you said that
you wanted to put out a PSA.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
About kind of one of those things, you know, like
I've been stung before. Watch out everyone, because we need
to raise awareness that it's April Fool's Day tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So I directed it. I guess you would say, you
put your voice to it. We got a voice over
as well.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Did we Okay, So it was just my hope that
if we did this now other people to amer can
avoid what's happened to me in the past.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now, you know, even though I did direct this and
I cut it together, would you like to introduce it
because it was kind of like, yeah, it's something you
wanted to do.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Well, I haven't heard this, so I don't really know
for sure what I'm introducing, but I'm happy to put
my voice and introduce it here and say this one
goes out to all Australians, in fact, everyone on the
planet tomorrow. This is your head's up to get ready.
So to make sure you're not tricked.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Each year, April Fool's Day tricks thousands of simple minded people.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Hi, I'm Don Fae and I'm an April Fool's victim.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
These people will read news stories and believe them without
any critical thought.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Now, to be fair, Daryl Summer's launching a hey Hey
It's Saturday movie, does.
Speaker 8 (18:59):
See employ These people are often seen as suggestible check
gullible check dim witted.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Well, you'd have to ask a doctor about that one.
Speaker 8 (19:06):
By this stage you might have realized Dom was given
a very different script to this one, and we've edited
his parts without his knowledge.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Somehow, I just didn't see it coming.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
So while trying to warn people about April Fools he
has himself fallen for a prank.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Ironic, isn't it.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Let's see what we can get him to say, maybe
something like.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Trump actually has some pretty good ideas. Oh really, Dom, Yes,
I definitely vote for him.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
April fools Day twenty twenty five. Don't fall for it.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
It's classic Dom.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I mean, wow, John, and you wanted that to happen.
You wanted to put out there.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
That's I can't believe they didn't see that coming. I
need to be really clear on the record. I don't
think Trump has any good ideas. That's not what I
just heard was script you gave me related to me
quoting somebody else. That's I should have seen that coming
from a mile away. Do you know what that POD's
really poorly for tomorrow? Because if that's anything to go,
(20:00):
I'm going to give someone my credit card before lunchtime tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Did you know that bearded Australians are apparently better romantic partners?
You aware of?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
This is the first I'm hearing of it. I don't
have a subscription to Beard News Weekly, and I know
you like to keep across it.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Well, mate, there's a lot of beard news going around
today in this realm.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It's fair.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
There's been a study out that has shown, and they
say scientifically proven, that bearded men are more loyal, stable,
long term romantic partners. So if you if you're a
woman out there and you're single, your heterosexual woman looking
for love, Apparently you're best off looking for a guy
with the beard, and the reason apparently is because if
you have demonstrated the ability to care for a well
(20:46):
maintained beard, that suggests that you have a more disciplined
nature and an ability to stick things out.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
HM because one could argue that maintaining a clean face
was more up. The interesting point, isn't it, because you
would have to shave regularly, Whereas I know there would
be some men who would keep their beard nicely manicured.
But most big bushy beards are bushy, which means they
are not tended to often.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
We should declare our hands here. Neither Zach or I
have beards.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
We're not beardy guys.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
A bit of stubble at the moment, I'd say stubble,
you're a few weeks off half a beard.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Or I don't like shaving to the skin.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
That actually, what's that about?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Because it cuts a lot and then I get in
growen hairs. So I just like doing the just like
a little clipper on the lowest setting. Some never clean shaven.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
No, Zach always looks like he's just gotten back from
a week in the bush. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You didn't take Yes. Yes, yeah, it's like hiker got
lost on a mountain.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yes, if we are one of those foil blankets and
wrapped it around you and gave you like some electrolytes.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, I'm doing an interview with the news. How I
was drinking my own piss.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
That's it, right, But look, I mean this study, this
is game changing if it's true. I don't know if
I believe it, because my personal sense on things is
that there's not really any difference between bearded men and
non bearded men.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And I also question what the scientists were doing. Mat
Was this diverted from actual studies? Could have they been
looking up diseases instead of this?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
You do think that sometimes, don't you. You're like, if
those are some of our best scientific minds, could we
not have put them to work on something a bit?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Maybe they weren't. Maybe this was a task. You know
how like sometimes if the teacher might want to get
something done, so you need to distract the kids, like
I've heard of that of the teachers telling you know
those kind of it's different state by state, but you
know how you can do kind of you do those
tests that ranks your school on the state level. Yes, yeah,
(22:59):
I've heard of kids being asked to stay home so
they don't bring the average down. Maybe that's not what
they're doing with this scientist.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
So well, the real scientists are out there working on We'll.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Go give you the beard stuff that's really important. You
go do that well at any rate.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I want to put this to the test, whether the
difference between a bearded man and a non bearded man
is obvious?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
How are you going to do that well?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
On thirteen one oh six y five. I would like
clean shaven and bearded men to give us a call
right now if you have a beard, if you don't,
thirteen one oh six y five, I want to see
if just by having a quick chat to you, we
can pick a beard from a non beat. What's your prediction, Well,
my prediction is that you shouldn't be able to tell
the difference. My prediction is it should be a total
pot shot, because I don't think you can hear a beard.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's not going to be that interesting though you're proving
a negative.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
But yeah, well you could have brought that up when
we blame the show, bring that over this one, because
I thought it too in real time, like, it's much
more interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
If the science said one thing, yeah, yeah, yeah, if
you were saying nah, yeah, I can people.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Hang on, I can pivot. I think the scientists bang on.
I've always thought you can pick a man who's bearded
from a non bearded man. This is what the science
now backs up, a long held belief I've had. So
what do you want on thirteen one oh six five?
Bearded people or non bearded people. You don't have to
be a man either. Yeah, there are some women with beards,
(24:20):
that's true.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
But I was thinking like a lot of women wouldn't
have beards, and would you be able to tell.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Well, yeah, I mean on average fewer women have beards.
So to be a safer bed, we can take those calls.
We again look that in one O six five. We
want to see if you can detect a beard, if
the aura the presence of the beards come across on
the airway, that's what we're going to figure out that
in one O six five. All right, Sam, what's your
favorite music artist or band? What's a band or artist
(24:45):
do you love?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Oh? Look, probably a band or let's say an artist
would probably be Eminem two thousands.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Hmmm, that's interesting answer. Yeah, do you know how I
put Sam is probably like a millennial, I think, yes.
But like if he had said like Mumford and Sons, yeah,
I think, oh, that's beard territory.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
If he had said I mean, I reckon, if he
said like a country artist, I would go like, yeah,
that's very beady.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yeah, but there's something I'm getting beard vibes.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
I don't know if it's like words that are slightly
filtered because they're coming at us through facial he.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Well, you know, you were trying to see if your
beard radar was I reckon beardy?
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Do you have a beard, Sam, Jesus, Moses?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I do, like as big as Jesus and Moseses.
Speaker 7 (25:40):
Do you think probably if you clench one of your
fists and hold it to your china, how long it is.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
That's the official way to measure a beard, I think.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
And you know it's really interesting. So far, one beard,
one non beard. The beard has a part another non
beard doesn't. I mean the study you.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, let's you can get an article in the Archive
of sexual behavior.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
I'm not even going to go down that path there.
Scott five, As we play can you pick the beard
from the voice, Scott, are you single or taken?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Scott? When was the last time you were? Like in
the bush last night?
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I thought it would be all right, Scott, I reckon
you got a beard?
Speaker 6 (26:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Mate? This study is actually completely scientifically verifiable.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It is quite easy to tell if someone has a beard.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
You can pick it, can't you? The beard comes through.
I didn't expect that it would, but if you listen
to those three callers back, you can hear the difference
of just hair on a face something more than that.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
What is it a vibe aura?
Speaker 3 (27:00):
It's definitely an aura. I mean because I think people
listening to this show can tell both you and I
are beardless voices they're too high. I wonder if one
of us grew a beard, if that would change the show?
Do you know what I mean? Maybe that's what the
show's missing.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
By this study. It would change your relationship status.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Oh yeah, I'm going to go buy a fake beard.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
The opposite of it.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
The Zac and Dumb podcast, Go ahead, make my day dumb.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Every single day is a holiday. We're trying to do
our part to raise awareness for the lesser known ones,
the ones that need a little bit of a help,
a bit of a leg up. We all know that
it's April Fools tomorrow, but did you know there's some
other holidays trying to juke it out for attention.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Well this surprises me because it's like, I mean, if
you're picking a national day for something, there's a few
you surely you avoid Easter, Sunday, Christmas Day. But surely
one of them you'd avoid to be April Fool's Day.
You'd think, what else is trying to chime in on
this day?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Well, April first is April Fools Day, but it's also
National Greeting Card Day.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Interesting? Interesting? Yeah, I mean I don't know about this,
Like a is this a prank from the greeting card
people claiming that they have Greeting Card Day on the
same day as April.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't think it's a prank. Okay, I think they're unaware.
I don't think greeting card people and prank people are
the same people.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I reckon you could get a job writing for greeting cards.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
That, yeah, okay, thank you. I mean I don't It's
not like saying you could be a doctor. I think
you would really make it in Hollywood, like writing greeting cards.
I'm not sure. There's highly regarded as you might think.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
I'm just saying you can bump down a news agency
and go, that's one of mine.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
It's popping off this year.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
H Yeah, like I just could see.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
All I'm going getting at is you've got a brain
that thinks in like set up and punchline.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Right, So you like to think set up and punchline.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Get you a cartoonist.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Maybe we could be a duo because you like writing cards,
don't you?
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I do, but I write sentimental ones.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, well you gotta have light and shape.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Well that's true, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
In ancient China, apparently people would send messages back and
forth to celebrate things like the new year. Ancient Egyptians
would pass rolls with their greetings. Really, I find that
that those are both tedious stretches to greeting cards.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Did they cost seven dollars ninety nine as well? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Where's the one with the piece of cardboard with the
line down in the middle. When did that start?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yes? Yeah, I'm curious as well.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Apparently the fourteenth century maybe, but that was more a
love letter. I don't think any of these.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, and when did cards start? When you open them?
They played a song because I like those ones. Here
we go.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Greeting cards became more commonplace in the eighteen hundred, especially
for Valentine's Day. Was Valentine's Day the first greeting cards?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Interesting? Maybe interesting, that's funny. I mean, I I I'm
just in my head coming up with some naw zak.
You want to hear one and one that we could
work with. I'll just give you some materials and you
construct a joke for me, right, So something around a
U a lumberjack on the front. You open it up
and it says something like because I would like to
go on a date with you.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I think when it comes to using wood as a
pun in like a Valentine's context, I don't think that
would be your first choice.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
No, but I'm going grading yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
But I still think people would be confused because they'd
be expected.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Okay, all right, fine mate, it's this is you and I.
I'm picturing us in the cubicles Hallmark Day one and
this is the fight where this is the fight we're having.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
We've got greeting cards due in two hours.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I reckon this is something IF wraps up for us.
So we should go to greeting cards together.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
It's also April first. I can't believe this. Is this
a prank?
Speaker 3 (31:07):
What do you got?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Boomer Bonus Day? It's a special occasion that celebrates the
contributions of the baby boomer generation. Is that? What do
we think about?
Speaker 3 (31:18):
That can't be real.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
This looks real, though, But.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
What contributions are we celebrating? Ruining the housing market, making
life unaffordable for the rest of us? What about polluting
the planet? They're not listening at this time of night.
We're fine, I can say all of this, this is
all fine.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Apparently boomers are born between nineteen forty six and nineteen
sixty four, so yeah, the youngest of what fifty nine
sixty one.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
And I'd like to be really clear to the boomer
who is listening, I'm obviously not talking about you. No,
as individuals, lovely people, and the contribution you specifically have
made to the planet a lot enormous. It's the rest of.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Them, yeah, everyone else? Yeah, yeah, particularly the ones in power.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Yes, a lot of boomers around. Hey, and they love
to own numerous properties. They love a portfolio, boomers, don't they.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Yeah, and then get very upset if you suggest it
was easier for them to buy them.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
For that.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, one thing, he didn't work hard. It's just a
lot easier. Yeah, and it's been proven a thousand times.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
You did work very hard. Also, sidebar, the prices were
a lot less.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
You know they always say Dudden's doing this at the moment?
Is he? He said he bought his first property at nineteen,
but he worked hard for it. How hard could you
work at nineteen? You've been out of school for six months?
There is well, you did a paper run in for
three years if you could buy a house. I don't
think that's proven the point you think it is.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
No, there is no amount of shifts I could have
done behind the checkout. It's coals.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Around the clock for fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
I think we might already have some boomers calling up angrily.
So money to wrap up here. One of us is
going to have to take Boomer bonus Day just as
a tribute for them.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Sure you do it great, all right, leave that with me.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I'll take Boomer bonus Day. And what's one of you?
What's the one you've got?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
National greeting card day?
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Mate? Go work on some drafts, okay, I'd like to
hear some greeting cards from you tomorrow on the show
Speaker 6 (33:17):
