Speaker 1 (00:11):
I Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong out of that Disney rolls,
Zach and.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Have you ever like this?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Likes jam?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
This happened when Kiss?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
This is Zach and Dome.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Oh yes. It is always an exciting night on the
Zach and Dom Show, Zach when one of Australia's great
comedic talents joins us and coming up Claire Hooper is
going to be joining us on the show, which is
very exciting. We were just chatting then about our memories
from high school. Good News Week for you and I
when we were back in I school, Claire Hooper would
be on that every what was it Monday night? I
(01:13):
want to say, Good Newsweek?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, and you were chatting about it with all the
team around the what the lunch table?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, in the library sometimes.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I tried to give you an outdoors option.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
When you're talking in.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
The library about Good Newsweek, we quietly, yeah, you're doing
it a moderate volume, but it is It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I actually just realized as I was saying that I
think I can remember the Monday to Sunday TV guideline
up from two thousand and eight. Just about which.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Plet you do the test on that before the show's out. Yeah,
first testom of whether he can go on just Channel
ten or I reckon I'd have a fair crack just
primetime giving you the week's entertainment just Primetime, Yeah, from
like the news onwards.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yep. And what year I reckon?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I can look that up, yeah, two thousand and eight. Yeah,
TV Guy, TV Guy, and we'll go to the test
later on.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, because back when you're before the Internet, you had
to do that. I get the TV Guy every week
in the paper.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, what I wanted to watch?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, yeah, you'd memorize it and then instead of googling it,
the Google was in your brain.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yes, it's like it's like, let me have a think
about what's on tonight. You'd have to take a moment. Yep.
The Simpsons, followed by Neighbors.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yes, yeah, exactly that mate. So we'll get to that
a little later on. Joining us very shortly after this, though,
is the wonderful Claire Hooper. I she'll be here in
just the moment.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
This is second m we are giving away one million
dollar idea.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Imagine what you could do with a million.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Dollars of ideas from us to you, tax free, exact
million dollar idea. Let's cut to the brass tax here, dom,
We're giving away a million dollar idea. Would you like
I get call us. I'm thirteen one oh six five.
It can only go to one person.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
It's the most valuable prize in the radio, an idea
that gets you million dollars when you sort of put
it into action and then keeps generating money. You come
up with one each week, Zach, and this week's billion
dollar already is well. You know what's.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Annoying the chairs at the movie theater.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
True, I guess why?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
You know?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Are good chairs? Those massage chairs you find in them?
Moll put them in the movie theater. Massage chairs in
the movie theater. Don't imagine boh whah, woah, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa. You're getting limba while watching a great film.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Now, the only thing I'd say to that is the
massage chairs sometimes you will find you sometimes at airports
as well. Yep. Sometimes those massage chairs if you're in
them for more than a few minutes. I think I
can actually do some damage. They're not who said that, Well,
they're not meant to be sad in for two hours.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I don't think how do you know?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Are you talking about facts here or you're making stuff up?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Not making stuff up? I just don't think they're designed
for two hours of use. Would the massage we go
in the whole time? It would be on and off.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
On and off, I think, And I think what you
could also do is you could pick different options. All right,
there would be a four D option all right where
it would respond. It would shake the chair kind of
with what's happening in the movie. That's just coming to
me now.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
The new Mission Impossible film comes out in a few
weeks and well, Tom Cruise jumps off a building as
it explodes.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Kind of get a bit of a massage.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Not bad, I mean massage movies. I could totally see
that as a hashtag. And they already have different cinemas,
don't they.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Well they got Gold class Vmax. Yeah, yeah, they need
to put these massage chairs in because here's the thing
that massage yep, quite boring. You know, usually your head down,
not saying much or it's relaxing. Imagine if you're watching
a movie that's gonna be a separate million Dodo put
TV screens underneath the massage chairs, so you look down
(05:14):
through that hole of the massage chair and there's a
TV screen. That's not really a million dollar ideas, that's
more like move the TV around the room.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, that's fair. It's a good idea, look because the
thing is you could go have a relaxing afternoon, enjoy
that movie you've wanted to see, and come out with
a massage. Would you consider actually hiring the susas to
walk around the movie theater and give massages while you're
watching the film or is that too awkward? What do
you think? Just because I'm thinking, if you want a
really good massage, the massage chairs haven't always been the
(05:43):
best of massage.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
You're really against these chairs if you have a sad
in one?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah I have?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
And what was your issue?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, it's screwed up my neck, if I'm honest. It
was one of the ones at the airport and I
thought I just saided it to kill some time, but
I left with a very sore neck. What happened I
don't know. I think it was set on a setting
for someone I think what I wanted it to do.
I think it was set for someone slightly taller than me.
I think that's what it might be. That might have
(06:10):
been the situation there. So, but look, I like the idea.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Instead of getting your back, it was like getting your neck.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, and I got some nerve endings. But look, I
like the idea.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Excuse me, you're really taking away from my million dollar idea?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah no, but I like the thinking. I would certainly
book this in. It might make it slightly harder to
pay close attention to the film all the way through.
And I also think, in a particularly poignant sort of
emotional moment, if all through the cinema you can.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Hear because I'm thinking, like, if everyone's doing it, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
like you won't be able to hear it.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Ashley is up against another Ashley, this one in Melbourne. Though,
ash what do you like about Zach's idea for massage movies?
I love it.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I actually just said, these streaming services are killing cinemas.
You've got your Netflix stand all thought. You only use
this to bring cinemas back to life, bring people back
to cinemas. That's actually a compelling point.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I'll give you that the cinemas need to do something.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Tom, Yeah, no, that is a compelling point, right because
if you think I could sit at home and watch
this film on Netflix, or I could go and do
it in a massage chair at the movies. That's that
does add something to it, doesn't it. Yeah, I'm just
picturing you still have the candy bars. Candy bar allowed
in there? Of course?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, I'm just thinking you're gonna you know where it's
particularly on the heavy setting. Is it going to knock
the popcorn out of your hands?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Why would that happen? The table, the little rest would
be separate from the chair, wouldn't vibrate.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Okay, you thought this through right, Well, only one person
can win this week's million dollar idea. We have Ashley
who initially is saying that this is instead of Netflix
and chill movies and massage. Then we also have ash
in Melbourne's saying this is a chance to bring cinemas
back to life.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Actually, there's one person who really understands the business case
for this, I think, Yeah, understands the landscape that it's
going to exist in and can hit the ground running
and that's why. Congratulations Ash and Melmore Movies. How you
(08:17):
feeling it's at your home right now with a million
dollars in your pocket?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's awesome, that's great. Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I mean actually we thought you'd be a bit more overwhelmed.
You just became a millionaire.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Unlotful works at the moment.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I mean it's big stuff. Actually it's really big stuff. Well,
the question is, actually, you're going to go to the
cinema chains first off, or you're going to go to
the massage chair makers first off? Who's your first put
a call?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
No, I'll go try the massage chairs first.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
What they were all about?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Then? Yeah, a good idea. Unfortunately, now that you have
the rights to this idea, the first thing you have
to do is settle a lawsuit that Dom has dropped
forward after one of the chairs stuffed up his neck.
There's a bit of a liability there.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The Sack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Now we're putting Dom to the test on a claim
he made earlier on the show. What was it Dom
that you can't you've memorized the TV from two thousand
and eight.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Well, we are just about to have Claire Hooper join
us a little bit later on, and I was saying
to you that I remember Good News Week Monday nights.
I think it was owaited that it started, and I
was realizing that, Yeah, I think, still burning in my
brain is the TV guide from that time in human history,
because you had to know back then, you had to
know what was on what TV channel at what time.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So this was actually more difficult than I thought it
would be. What do you mean, It's really hard to
track down a TV guide from two thousand and eight,
But I have found one, and I'll give you a
quick little flash of it so you can see what
I'm working with here. That's obviously a photocopy from a newspaper.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You've got this from like a library archive.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
With Yes, that's exactly what it is, because I guess,
like in two thousand and eight, the thing there wasn't
much on the Internet. But we think of the two
thousands as being Internet and it was yeah, yeah, but
nowhere near what it was today, Like now everything's on
the internet.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, no, no, back then it was still early days. Yeah,
I made no Instagram two.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Thousand and eight. YouTube had just it invented two years prior.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, we're fresh days here, we're fresh days.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Okay, So how is this going to work? If I
give you a channel and a night, would you be
able to give me what was on?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I reckon, I can give you their high looking.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
At these and I really don't think you will be
able to.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I hope you give me Sunday on channel ten. Start that, okay,
because Sunday at Channel ten I remember vividly was the
Simpsons into thank God you're here, into Australian Idol into Rove.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Maybe you've got Simpsons and Rove? Correct?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, what time of two thousand and Naty? You're talking
mat because I'm lie Okay, Well maybe it was a
mid year ratings break you've got because.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I'm telling you so you're missing big brother.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Big brother who finished what I was talking about? But
that's fair enough.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Well, I'm telling you it's in July. Okay, So you
got the Simpsons and you got Rove.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
All right, all right, for me, check me another one.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Well, let's go channel ten again on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Night ten on Thursday that they.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Wouldn't actually not going to get this either. They wouldn't
have had a midweek movie. That's that was a serious
midday movie.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Nine on Wednesdays. What's not doing Wednesday? Is there a
mid week movie? Have a look nine on Wednesdays? Used
to love a midweek movie, mate, because I used to
try to watch it at nine o'clock or something. Got
a Wednesday?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
There's a movie at midnight?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Maybe maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Channel ten on
a Thursday. Well, I'm guessing Big Brothers still running? Can
I go with that?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, that's on at seven?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, after Big brother wouldn't have been BONDI Rescue, would it?
That wasn't a Thursday night show? What is it?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Futurama?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Ah, that's right now, I do remember that.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Actually, Oh yeah, after I tell you how convenient.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Give me some more check me.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Let's go Monday, yep on Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Monday on Channel seven, I reckon there would have been
like a Criminal Minds or an NCIS or something there,
something along those lines.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Some crime show City Homicide.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yep. I'll take that.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
There's actually a few City Homicide, Criminal Minds into Boston Legal.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yes, so is that their whole evening program.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
From eight o'clock on which you also had Border Security
at seven.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
They loved playing border Security. I never was into that
was give me some more mate.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Tuesday on Channel nine.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Farmer Wants a Wife? Was that Tuesday channel line?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Maybe not so close led it to lady.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
They also had a double feature of two and a
half Men back to back. They probably played a new
one and then an old one.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No, I reckon, look at the TV guy. That could
be wrong with two and a half men on every
night for a while. There just keeps going through Channel
nine because I have a memory two and a.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Half every night.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, yeah, that was. They were really loving it. This
is before Charlie. She sort of did a Charlie.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
She Well, I think Tuesday night they did two because
it might be a new one. So it's on. Oh
my goodness, two and a half Men's on three times
on Tuesday nights is on at seven, eight thirty and nine.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
They loved doing a half man. It was their main programming.
I mean, I think I've done okay.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Here he's the synopsis of two and a half. In
the new episode, Charlie is dating a woman whose personality
and life are like his mother's.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm pretty high. You told me you could do it. Yeah,
work for work? Well, I reckon, this particularly got it.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I don't think you've got any right, You're like, oh,
a crime show. Yeah, you could say that at any
time throughout TV history.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
There. I reckon, that's a decent effort, mate, I reckon.
I was thinking more September October two thousand and eight,
and you've given me a little bit too early in
the year. But either way, I mean, it's programmings.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Oh come on, well, Farmer Once a Wife was on
Monday Night. Ah, so you're a day off.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'll claim that. I'll claim that.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It is election time, Zach, and one of the big
talking points in the last few weeks has been these
Clive palmitics that he keeps spamming people with. Have you
seen these coming through?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I don't think I've got one. I'm just looking through
my phone now unless I deleted it, got my number.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You must be the only person in the country he
hasn't been hitting up, mate, because I don't know where
his database is, but basically because he.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Probably knows about your voting his he thinks you're a
warm prospect.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
A warm prospect, and that's flander. You need to be
very careful what you say here because you will hear
from my lawyers. Yeah, I have not that. Okay, Once
I've voted for Clive Parmers, I thought, that's what You're
a reference.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
To the Titanic too. You really want to see that
project get off the ground.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
When I was eighteen, my first time voting at a
federal election, I thought, I'd told you this story and
at that point, and I need to be so clear.
It was twenty thirteen's election. Clive Palmer was a bit
of a joke still back then he hadn't gone full
Trump on us. And they off for me. They said
that we'll get you a free sausage from the sausages
(15:13):
you vote.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
That's illegal, is it, Yeah, of course I offer you
something for your vote.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Well they did, Mate and I, and that is the
cost of your vote was a dollar sausage. I was
eighteen years old, and yeah, I went and voted for
Palmer and.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Then what you came out with your hand out was
my sausage.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
And then they gave me the sausage. First, I requested
the sausage.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Fest I thought, done these deals before, show me the
sausage up front.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I have thought in the year since I could have
voted anyway, they wouldn't know I felt honor bound to
vote that direction.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
You signed a binding contract between you and the person
who who worked at the local school fate. Yes, yeah,
it was signed in tomato sauce. Well, mate, you weren't
gonna Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Wasn't gonna break that contract. You couldn't. I'm a man
of my word.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I've looked this up on the AEC website. Dom what
constitutes electoral brivery? It says under section three two six
of the Electoral Act provides that a person cannot ask for, receiver,
or obtain, give, or confer any property or benefit with
the intention of influencing the vote or candidature of a
(16:28):
person at a federal election. Now that is, if a
person is found guilty, they may impose a penalty up
to two years imprisonment.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Okay, so you're telling me I could put Clive in jails.
Well not quite, yeah, because it says down a little further.
The majority of complaints received by the AEC concerning this
section is in relation to the provision of hospitality in
brackets in the form of example of tea or.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Biscuits or a sausages. A second, at events organized by
political parties and candidates in local community. Section three two
six may not be.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
This is getting technical.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
What am I trying to say here? As it's reasonable
to argue that there is no intention to directly influence
voters or buy their political allegiance, rather simply offer hospitality
while facilitating political discussion. So it seems like that there's
a little bit of a wiggle around with some of
these foods. But your exchange was directly they said, if
you vote this way, I'll give you a sausage. It
(17:30):
wasn't hey, i'll give you a sausage and let's just
talk about these policies.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
No, no, no, it was a it was a deal.
It was a bargain struck.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
So I don't know if it falls under section three
two six or not.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's probably a statute limitations.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
It does say here that there's no there's been no
cases of electoral bribery brought through the courts in the
history of the federal parliamentary elections. This could be the
first one. And can you imagine them going through the details.
Now we need to get this right. Was it one.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Sausage with onion or without?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
And did they offer tomato sauce?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And here? Okay, so what I should say, because I
was going to ask you, how do I get these
live text to stop? Because he doesn't give you an
opt out and we've all been feeling that he be
getting these texts. Should I respond and say, Clive, I
know about the sausage, stop texting me.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, that could be seen. Yeah, that could be taken
a little bit differently. Couldn't like you to have to
give context that sausage sizzle. You could be done for
sexting that.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
The Zach and Tom podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
She's a celebrated Australian comedian, writer and presenter who's been
captivating audiences since two thousand and four. You may know
her as a team captain on Good Newsweek and host
of ABC's House of Games. We know her for her
hilarious wit and cut through humor.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
So I've got two kids.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
They're eight and ten years old.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
No longer cute, not yet interesting. Please welcome Claire Hooper, Zach.
One of the country's favorite comedians for a long time
now has been Claire Hooper, and she is kind enough
to join us on the show. Now, Claire, welcome along,
and it's a honor to have you joined us.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Oh, that's excessively nice. How don't you dream boats? Thank
you so much. It's an honor to be here.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
We're so well, Claire, and it's always great to see
new shows on the ABC featuring Australian talent. And you
might have noticed Claire Hooper's House of Games has started
this year. Now, Claire, I will never speak ill of
the ABC, but we would like it if they put
some more effort into promoting shows because we're just hearing
(19:43):
about this now and we feel so so let down
that we've missed a bit already.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Oh my god, that's so embarrassing to you. Yeah. Look, well, look,
let's be honest about it. Our opening week was last
week and it was only slightly overshadowed by the death
of the Pope. Okay, so we do not need to
talk about that at length. But it's certainly it's hot,
isn't it. As an professional entertainer, like essentially a professional egomaniac,
(20:13):
it is horrific to realize that you're not as important
as the head of the Catholic Church, Like do you
know what I mean? What a way to wake up
to reality. But yes, so look, the good news for you,
my friends, is that all the episodes so far are
on I doe, So you've really only missed a week.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
In the bit.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yeah, that's capable.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's good, Absolutely it is. I'm curious, though, clear because
you've been involved in various topical news panel shows over
the journey, and I know these things aren't always exactly live.
Even if they're as live, they might be filmed an
hour or two earlier. Have you ever run into this
sort of issue before where you've made a joke about
someone and then some tragedies emerged in the next day
or two and you've had to go to sort of
(20:54):
cut the edit, do you know?
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, I feel like, I mean, I reckon that. The
hardest one was back in Good News week Days when
we were recording an episode in Sydney while Black Saturday
was burning in Victoria, and so it was it was
like we came out of a record and went, oh, oh,
(21:20):
the news has changed, so that you know, like sometimes
sometimes really big stuff happens and it is quite you
have to be quite nimble, or you just have to
accept that the audience is going to have to go, yeah,
I don't reckon, they knew, you know, like sometimes you
just have to not look like you've seen what's happening
in the world, and it's embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Hey, Claire, you're coming up to Brisbane to do the
Brisbane Comedy Festival in a couple of weeks. Your show
is nothing to see here? What's it about? And why
should we go see it?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
It's about falling over and being seen falling over?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Really all that do a lot?
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Yeah, mate, I fall over more. I feel like I
fall over more than the average person. I've fallen over
on stage outside of comedy venues, down the stairs of
common venues. I've fallen over while jogging, fallen over in
a ball dress. But the thing about falling over is
I don't know if Okay, I'm going to ask you
this question. Would you take twice as much pain when
(22:21):
you fell over if you will guarantee nobody saw Yes.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh, without a shadow of a doubt.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah. I've had a few. I've had a few falls.
And in fact, there's actually a debate Zach and I've
had before, at what age do you go from it
being you fell over to you had a fall?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
I can't answer that. I think that is a really personal.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Choice, and I.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Feel like so long as your friends still laugh when
you fall you know you fell Ye, it's when people
stop laughing at you when you fallen that you have
to worry that people are worried about you. And honestly
that's yeah. I just feel like the physical pain is
not as bad as the pain of the humiliation. So
that's what the show is about.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
There, you're going, Now, wouldn't it be ironic clear if
you fell over on stage in the midst of a
show about fall over? Has that happened yet?
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Yeah, Look, there've been a few close calls because hot
tip I've got at the end of my show, I
attempt a cartwheel on the stage if I've enjoyed. I
only do it if I've enjoyed the show. Yeah, and
I did it on a stage there was way too
small for a cartwheel, and it nearly did go badly.
(23:33):
I nearly kicked an audience member in the face and
went off the edge of the raised stage area. So yeah,
I'm gonna I haven't sussed out having the Brisbane stag.
I'm just hoping it's more than two meters wide this one.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Now, Claire, when you say that you'll do a cartwheel
if you've enjoyed the show. I feel like it has
the same energy that we get to watch five minutes
of TV at end of the class if the class
is well behaved, is this kind of an incentive for
the audience to really get into it because it's like, yeah,
we want to see the cartwheel.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
I don't even tell them that that's what they're going
to get. Okay, you get it or they don't get it,
and they they just I mean, I guess I've told
you now so that anyone's listener has heard the secret.
And if anyone that's listening comes along and doesn't get
a car, whell know, be very ashamed of yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well, for those listening in Rizzy, you can get to
the Brisbane Colity Festival to see Claire Hooper in the
Nothing to See Here to May twenty second to May
twenty fifth and forever and all around the country. House
of Games is on ABC and on IVI. Now, Claire,
it's been so wonderful to have you on the show.
Thanks so much for dropping by.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
Oh, thanks so much for having me guys, and great.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Let's go who would they've off for?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
We'k out to know who would they vo from the
Zaka Damhold.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yes, Zach. The election only two days away now, and
we've discovered you have a bit of a secret political skill.
On the show this week.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I can tell you who fictitious characters would vote for.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, you can read into their personalities and pick what
they do if they were in the polling booth. We've
had a bit of fun this all through the week already,
starting with The Simpsons the other night. Tonight, I thought
to wrap this up. What we do is look at
some of the great animated characters from across numerous shows
through history. I just want you to give me your
gut feel about who's some of these people would vote.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Now.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I know all of these because I need to know
the characters I think you would. I think I know
their hopes and dreams.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I've gone a pretty broad spectrum here. I reckon from
all various sorts of films.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
If you disagree with any of them, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Will do well. The first one is a bit of
an Aussie icon, Bob the Builder. I want to know
if Bob the Builder he's left all of his friends
who are the machines at home, and he's walked into
the polling booth. Who's Bob the Builder voting for?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Well, he's union strong, obviously, he's a part of the
and he's voting for labor.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You don't see much industrial action in Bob the to
do you No, you don't.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
But you see a safe job site?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well, you certainly do. I mean, actually most of the
episodes are about something going wrong on the job site.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Maybe the union. Maybe they need a union wrapt like
eight drop the tools we're walking?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I like that. What about turning our attention under the
sea Squidward from SpongeBob square pairs interesting?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
What do we know about Squidward? He plays the cello. Yeah,
he's a little bit older than SpongeBob. I think a bit.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Grumpy's done him hard.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Would we say he's a boomer?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I think he's got a bit of boomer energy. Squidward, certainly,
I guess I would probably say liberal. Yeah, I think so.
I think he'd run as a candidate.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Well, he's got a neat kind of house going on there.
I've got a suspicion that he could have some negative gear.
He's being a property investor. Yeahlord, whether or not they
covered in.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Love that all right? So bother build a liberal labor
Squidward is liberal about Pumba from the Lion King.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
What do you get which one Pumba?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Pumba's the Warthole, the the goofy water get and Pumba
mixed up? Yeah right, very boisterous, very loud, very optimistic,
a little bit silly and stupid at stages.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Well, here's one from left field. I think he votes
greens Pumba. Yeah, well, because he likes eating bugs and
that's very sustainable. That's you know a lot of greenies
say that's how we're going to save the world.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, we need to stop eating.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Beef and we need to eat you know, grasshoppers, crickets,
et cetera.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Man, and he's on the forefront of climate change in
the in the African outback, African jungle.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Yeah, he sees it firsthand.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I like that. Now, this next one is a collective,
the minions from Despicable Meat. I think they have a
hive mind, so I would imagine they all vote the
same way. Who do you think the minions are voting for?
The yellow minions? Well, a little bit chaotic.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeap yellow in color and coherent messages trumpet and patriots
because I don't know if you've got those text messages.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But alone of them.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, you're struggling to make sense of it. It's a
little bit like Dominion's talking, and I.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Guess grew indespicable me has some Clive Palmer characteristics.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
He's got lofty ideas, doesn't want to steal the moon?
Yeah yeah, And what does Flive Palmer want to do?
Have a Titanic two? Yeah, they're both kind of like
out their plans.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I love it all right, Well, we are doing exact
picks who fictional animated characters would vote for. I've got
one last one for you, Zak, and this might cut
her close to him. It might be a hard one
for you. But Pingu, tell me Pingu, the Claymasian penguin.
You know you've loved for years. You've been a Pingu
man from way back. Who do you think Pingu votes
(29:04):
for in the election?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Legalized marijuana? That's not actually Pinky's normal voice. Pinky's just
really high.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Zack and Tom podcast.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Go ahead, make my day ready, dom We are trying
to lend a hand to the lesser known holidays.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Each night I bring two to the show. You and
I have to pick one each to become ambassadors for
for the next twenty four hours, trying to raise awareness
of lesser known holidays.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Just a little bit of Zach and Dom helping out
the little guys. I like to think that we're a
bit of the little guys of the media industry. We're
helping out the little guys of the day industry.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I don't know if this one needs that much help
as an entity, but as a holiday. Maybe tomorrow is
May the first, and I made the second. Isn't it
nearly Star Wars Day? Yeah? Well, actually it's in that realm,
is it? It's international Harry Potter Day. Maybe the second
be with you?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
What's the reasoning behind the selection of this date?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I don't know. That's a good questions, and you should
tell me because you're the Harry Potter man. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I can't think of any link to May too.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Maybe that's when it came out or something.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
I reckon it's them trying to get the jump on
Star Wars Day they go in two days earlier. That's
my best guess, can I ask?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Twenty twelve, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron,
made the declaration that the day would be celebrated on
May the second each year, So really it doesn't look
like that it's linked to it. It was just like, oh,
that's what they could do in the UK. So this
is an official wowdy.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
There you go. Have you heard about the new Harry
Potter TV show they're making I have a big budget.
I mean, I know you missed the book.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You missed the books, you miss the movies. Maybe you
should jump on for the TV show mate.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Apparently May the second and you should have known this
is the day that the Great Battle of Hogwarts was fought.
One of the great moments from the Wizarding World. It
was a good or bad it was the Battle of Hogwarts.
What I don't understand is, I mean, I did read
the books. I don't remember many.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Dates being given Christmas that's different from May the second.
Are they suggesting that in the Great Battle of Hogwarts
it begins on waking up on the second of May.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
No, it probably woke up in the morning Harry turned
over looked at the calendar May the second. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I just don't understand now that you're going to jump
on for the Harry Potter TV series. They make. They're
saying it's going to be very exciting. What's it called, Well,
I imagine Harry Potter.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Oh right, So they're just redoing the story, are there.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the idea.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh so it's not like in the world of It's
not Harry's Little Sister or something.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
No, like season one will be the first book, Season
two the second book.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yeah, they're just redoing it.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
They're doing it in more depth. Is the theory. And apparently,
by the way I've looked into it, the Battle of
Hogwarts suppose that it took place on the second of
May nineteen ninety eight, which yeah, apparently Harry Potters set.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
In the ninety Really, yeah, there you go. There's no
real reference to it. I do know that I never
talk about tazis. No one's trading Pokemon cards. It's also
maybe the second scurvy awareness Day. Now I'm worried about you.
Why in relation to scurvy? Who is that? Well, because
(32:31):
you don't have fruits of vegetables?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Mate, I have fruit, you do, yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
I like fruit things with vitamin C.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a big vitamin C guy.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
You bet through fruit?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah, fresh orange juice? You have that to love it mate,
fresh orange juice. I would add that instead of water
for every drink if I could that every day. Are
you you know what? Now that you say that, I
think I should start having it more often. There is
only one downside to freshly squeezed orange juice, and that
is it ruins your mouth for every other taste.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah, you have to have it after.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yes you have before coffee, cereal, toothpaste, anything just ruins
your taste. It's no good for that front. But apart
from that, I'm a big fresh sqeeze strange juice. Mean,
Zach know that about me?
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Well, I think in general you're in danger of like
a lot of the diseases from the age of sales.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I don't think that's true.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
You had a vitamin D deficiency for a while.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I don't think that was an issue on boats.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Well, it would be for the little rats that are downside.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
But I think most people on boats got more than
enough sunlight, probably too much to be honest. So but
it's important because people are still getting scurvy, aren't they.
That's still a thing.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Well, I've read this article. It doesn't say that I mean,
I guess like as any kind of deficiency around the world,
scurvy probably does pop its head up.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
That could be a story arc we could do on
the radio show I try to Get Scurvy. Why, I'm
just saying it could be interesting. Man, get scurvy? Are
you telling me that wouldn't make headlines? Australian radio announcer,
make get scurvy. We've been trying to find something that
will get us on the front pages, mate, Ossie radio announcer,
Get Scurvy? Would one hundred percent do it? Don't? Don't
you reckon? People listen in and say did you hear
(34:11):
the latest podcast from the scurvy guy?
Speaker 4 (34:14):
If you're putting your hand up for it, then I
won't stop here.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Well, it sounds like from what you're saying, I might
be already halfway there. I just keep going and already
I'm living into this.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
So if you just stop having orange juice, yes, you
probably will develop scurvy.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
And your dream has always been to be a man
of the sea. So this, I mean, this will gets
you close to the mark. If you hung out with
someone with scurvy.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Your nautical dreams had come true. I like it, No,
I mean, I'm on board with it. I just don't
know if it's the right headline.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Okay, well, which of these days do you want for tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (34:45):
You take a pick WHI They're not really either of
my things, are they. I guess I'll take Harry Potter,
seeing as there's a new series that I should check out.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It hasn't started yet. They're filming at the moment. Oh yeah,
it's a while off. It's going to be big though,
big budget. Nick Frost is in it. You love Nick Frost. Yeah, sure,
he's playing Hagrid. Unfortunately, I for you. Ron has also
made the cut. And I know you hate Ron.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Who's playing Ron?
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I don't actually know?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Is he a redhead? Still?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah, but you hated in the films, So.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
I just think you could have cut it, and they
could have taken the opportunity here to cut it when.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
They're redoing it. Just get right out of the picture.
If you cut right out, Zach might have watched, So
that's him, bore Really well, I will take scurvy day. Then,
that is what we got time for on the show.
Speaker 3 (35:30):

Speaker 2 (00:22):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong out of that Disney rolls,
Zach and.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Have you ever like this?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Likes jam?
Speaker 5 (00:47):
This happened when Kiss?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
This is Zach and Dome.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Oh yes. It is always an exciting night on the
Zach and Dom Show, Zach when one of Australia's great
comedic talents joins us and coming up Claire Hooper is
going to be joining us on the show, which is
very exciting. We were just chatting then about our memories
from high school. Good News Week for you and I
when we were back in I school, Claire Hooper would
be on that every what was it Monday night? I
(01:13):
want to say, Good Newsweek?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, and you were chatting about it with all the
team around the what the lunch table?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, in the library sometimes.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I tried to give you an outdoors option.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
When you're talking in.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
The library about Good Newsweek, we quietly, yeah, you're doing
it a moderate volume, but it is It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I actually just realized as I was saying that I
think I can remember the Monday to Sunday TV guideline
up from two thousand and eight. Just about which.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Plet you do the test on that before the show's out. Yeah,
first testom of whether he can go on just Channel
ten or I reckon I'd have a fair crack just
primetime giving you the week's entertainment just Primetime, Yeah, from
like the news onwards.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yep. And what year I reckon?
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I can look that up, yeah, two thousand and eight. Yeah,
TV Guy, TV Guy, and we'll go to the test
later on.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah, because back when you're before the Internet, you had
to do that. I get the TV Guy every week
in the paper.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, what I wanted to watch?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, yeah, you'd memorize it and then instead of googling it,
the Google was in your brain.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Yes, it's like it's like, let me have a think
about what's on tonight. You'd have to take a moment. Yep.
The Simpsons, followed by Neighbors.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yes, yeah, exactly that mate. So we'll get to that
a little later on. Joining us very shortly after this, though,
is the wonderful Claire Hooper. I she'll be here in
just the moment.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
This is second m we are giving away one million
dollar idea.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Imagine what you could do with a million.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Dollars of ideas from us to you, tax free, exact
million dollar idea. Let's cut to the brass tax here, dom,
We're giving away a million dollar idea. Would you like
I get call us. I'm thirteen one oh six five.
It can only go to one person.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
It's the most valuable prize in the radio, an idea
that gets you million dollars when you sort of put
it into action and then keeps generating money. You come
up with one each week, Zach, and this week's billion
dollar already is well. You know what's.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Annoying the chairs at the movie theater.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
True, I guess why?
Speaker 5 (03:33):
You know?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Are good chairs? Those massage chairs you find in them?
Moll put them in the movie theater. Massage chairs in
the movie theater. Don't imagine boh whah, woah, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa. You're getting limba while watching a great film.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Now, the only thing I'd say to that is the
massage chairs sometimes you will find you sometimes at airports
as well. Yep. Sometimes those massage chairs if you're in
them for more than a few minutes. I think I
can actually do some damage. They're not who said that, Well,
they're not meant to be sad in for two hours.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I don't think how do you know?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm just I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Are you talking about facts here or you're making stuff up?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Not making stuff up? I just don't think they're designed
for two hours of use. Would the massage we go
in the whole time? It would be on and off.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
On and off, I think, And I think what you
could also do is you could pick different options. All right,
there would be a four D option all right where
it would respond. It would shake the chair kind of
with what's happening in the movie. That's just coming to
me now.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
The new Mission Impossible film comes out in a few
weeks and well, Tom Cruise jumps off a building as
it explodes.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Kind of get a bit of a massage.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Not bad, I mean massage movies. I could totally see
that as a hashtag. And they already have different cinemas,
don't they.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Well they got Gold class Vmax. Yeah, yeah, they need
to put these massage chairs in because here's the thing
that massage yep, quite boring. You know, usually your head down,
not saying much or it's relaxing. Imagine if you're watching
a movie that's gonna be a separate million Dodo put
TV screens underneath the massage chairs, so you look down
(05:14):
through that hole of the massage chair and there's a
TV screen. That's not really a million dollar ideas, that's
more like move the TV around the room.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Well, that's fair. It's a good idea, look because the
thing is you could go have a relaxing afternoon, enjoy
that movie you've wanted to see, and come out with
a massage. Would you consider actually hiring the susas to
walk around the movie theater and give massages while you're
watching the film or is that too awkward? What do
you think? Just because I'm thinking, if you want a
really good massage, the massage chairs haven't always been the
(05:43):
best of massage.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
You're really against these chairs if you have a sad
in one?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah I have?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
And what was your issue?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well, it's screwed up my neck, if I'm honest. It
was one of the ones at the airport and I
thought I just saided it to kill some time, but
I left with a very sore neck. What happened I
don't know. I think it was set on a setting
for someone I think what I wanted it to do.
I think it was set for someone slightly taller than me.
I think that's what it might be. That might have
(06:10):
been the situation there. So, but look, I like the idea.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Instead of getting your back, it was like getting your neck.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, and I got some nerve endings. But look, I
like the idea.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Excuse me, you're really taking away from my million dollar idea?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah no, but I like the thinking. I would certainly
book this in. It might make it slightly harder to
pay close attention to the film all the way through.
And I also think, in a particularly poignant sort of
emotional moment, if all through the cinema you can.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Hear because I'm thinking, like, if everyone's doing it, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
like you won't be able to hear it.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Ashley is up against another Ashley, this one in Melbourne. Though,
ash what do you like about Zach's idea for massage movies?
I love it.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I actually just said, these streaming services are killing cinemas.
You've got your Netflix stand all thought. You only use
this to bring cinemas back to life, bring people back
to cinemas. That's actually a compelling point.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I'll give you that the cinemas need to do something.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Tom, Yeah, no, that is a compelling point, right because
if you think I could sit at home and watch
this film on Netflix, or I could go and do
it in a massage chair at the movies. That's that
does add something to it, doesn't it. Yeah, I'm just
picturing you still have the candy bars. Candy bar allowed
in there? Of course?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, I'm just thinking you're gonna you know where it's
particularly on the heavy setting. Is it going to knock
the popcorn out of your hands?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Why would that happen? The table, the little rest would
be separate from the chair, wouldn't vibrate.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Okay, you thought this through right, Well, only one person
can win this week's million dollar idea. We have Ashley
who initially is saying that this is instead of Netflix
and chill movies and massage. Then we also have ash
in Melbourne's saying this is a chance to bring cinemas
back to life.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Actually, there's one person who really understands the business case
for this, I think, Yeah, understands the landscape that it's
going to exist in and can hit the ground running
and that's why. Congratulations Ash and Melmore Movies. How you
(08:17):
feeling it's at your home right now with a million
dollars in your pocket?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
That's awesome, that's great. Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I mean actually we thought you'd be a bit more overwhelmed.
You just became a millionaire.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Unlotful works at the moment.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, I mean it's big stuff. Actually it's really big stuff. Well,
the question is, actually, you're going to go to the
cinema chains first off, or you're going to go to
the massage chair makers first off? Who's your first put
a call?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
No, I'll go try the massage chairs first.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
What they were all about?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Then? Yeah, a good idea. Unfortunately, now that you have
the rights to this idea, the first thing you have
to do is settle a lawsuit that Dom has dropped
forward after one of the chairs stuffed up his neck.
There's a bit of a liability there.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
The Sack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Now we're putting Dom to the test on a claim
he made earlier on the show. What was it Dom
that you can't you've memorized the TV from two thousand
and eight.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Well, we are just about to have Claire Hooper join
us a little bit later on, and I was saying
to you that I remember Good News Week Monday nights.
I think it was owaited that it started, and I
was realizing that, Yeah, I think, still burning in my
brain is the TV guide from that time in human history,
because you had to know back then, you had to
know what was on what TV channel at what time.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So this was actually more difficult than I thought it
would be. What do you mean, It's really hard to
track down a TV guide from two thousand and eight,
But I have found one, and I'll give you a
quick little flash of it so you can see what
I'm working with here. That's obviously a photocopy from a newspaper.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You've got this from like a library archive.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
With Yes, that's exactly what it is, because I guess,
like in two thousand and eight, the thing there wasn't
much on the Internet. But we think of the two
thousands as being Internet and it was yeah, yeah, but
nowhere near what it was today, Like now everything's on
the internet.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, no, no, back then it was still early days. Yeah,
I made no Instagram two.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Thousand and eight. YouTube had just it invented two years prior.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, we're fresh days here, we're fresh days.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Okay, So how is this going to work? If I
give you a channel and a night, would you be
able to give me what was on?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I reckon, I can give you their high looking.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
At these and I really don't think you will be
able to.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I hope you give me Sunday on channel ten. Start that, okay,
because Sunday at Channel ten I remember vividly was the
Simpsons into thank God you're here, into Australian Idol into Rove.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Maybe you've got Simpsons and Rove? Correct?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, what time of two thousand and Naty? You're talking
mat because I'm lie Okay, Well maybe it was a
mid year ratings break you've got because.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I'm telling you so you're missing big brother.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Big brother who finished what I was talking about? But
that's fair enough.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Well, I'm telling you it's in July. Okay, So you
got the Simpsons and you got Rove.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
All right, all right, for me, check me another one.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Well, let's go channel ten again on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Night ten on Thursday that they.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Wouldn't actually not going to get this either. They wouldn't
have had a midweek movie. That's that was a serious
midday movie.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Nine on Wednesdays. What's not doing Wednesday? Is there a
mid week movie? Have a look nine on Wednesdays? Used
to love a midweek movie, mate, because I used to
try to watch it at nine o'clock or something. Got
a Wednesday?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
There's a movie at midnight?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Maybe maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Channel ten on
a Thursday. Well, I'm guessing Big Brothers still running? Can
I go with that?
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, that's on at seven?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Yeah, after Big brother wouldn't have been BONDI Rescue, would it?
That wasn't a Thursday night show? What is it?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Futurama?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Ah, that's right now, I do remember that.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Actually, Oh yeah, after I tell you how convenient.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Give me some more check me.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Let's go Monday, yep on Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Monday on Channel seven, I reckon there would have been
like a Criminal Minds or an NCIS or something there,
something along those lines.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Some crime show City Homicide.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yep. I'll take that.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
There's actually a few City Homicide, Criminal Minds into Boston Legal.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yes, so is that their whole evening program.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
From eight o'clock on which you also had Border Security
at seven.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
They loved playing border Security. I never was into that
was give me some more mate.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Tuesday on Channel nine.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Farmer Wants a Wife? Was that Tuesday channel line?
Speaker 5 (12:28):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Maybe not so close led it to lady.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
They also had a double feature of two and a
half Men back to back. They probably played a new
one and then an old one.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No, I reckon, look at the TV guy. That could
be wrong with two and a half men on every
night for a while. There just keeps going through Channel
nine because I have a memory two and a.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Half every night.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, yeah, that was. They were really loving it. This
is before Charlie. She sort of did a Charlie.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
She Well, I think Tuesday night they did two because
it might be a new one. So it's on. Oh
my goodness, two and a half Men's on three times
on Tuesday nights is on at seven, eight thirty and nine.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
They loved doing a half man. It was their main programming.
I mean, I think I've done okay.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Here he's the synopsis of two and a half. In
the new episode, Charlie is dating a woman whose personality
and life are like his mother's.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm pretty high. You told me you could do it. Yeah,
work for work? Well, I reckon, this particularly got it.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
I don't think you've got any right, You're like, oh,
a crime show. Yeah, you could say that at any
time throughout TV history.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
There. I reckon, that's a decent effort, mate, I reckon.
I was thinking more September October two thousand and eight,
and you've given me a little bit too early in
the year. But either way, I mean, it's programmings.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Oh come on, well, Farmer Once a Wife was on
Monday Night. Ah, so you're a day off.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'll claim that. I'll claim that.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It is election time, Zach, and one of the big
talking points in the last few weeks has been these
Clive palmitics that he keeps spamming people with. Have you
seen these coming through?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I don't think I've got one. I'm just looking through
my phone now unless I deleted it, got my number.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
You must be the only person in the country he
hasn't been hitting up, mate, because I don't know where
his database is, but basically because he.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Probably knows about your voting his he thinks you're a
warm prospect.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
A warm prospect, and that's flander. You need to be
very careful what you say here because you will hear
from my lawyers. Yeah, I have not that. Okay, Once
I've voted for Clive Parmers, I thought, that's what You're
a reference.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
To the Titanic too. You really want to see that
project get off the ground.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
When I was eighteen, my first time voting at a
federal election, I thought, I'd told you this story and
at that point, and I need to be so clear.
It was twenty thirteen's election. Clive Palmer was a bit
of a joke still back then he hadn't gone full
Trump on us. And they off for me. They said
that we'll get you a free sausage from the sausages
(15:13):
you vote.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
That's illegal, is it, Yeah, of course I offer you
something for your vote.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Well they did, Mate and I, and that is the
cost of your vote was a dollar sausage. I was
eighteen years old, and yeah, I went and voted for
Palmer and.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Then what you came out with your hand out was
my sausage.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
And then they gave me the sausage. First, I requested
the sausage.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Fest I thought, done these deals before, show me the
sausage up front.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I have thought in the year since I could have
voted anyway, they wouldn't know I felt honor bound to
vote that direction.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
You signed a binding contract between you and the person
who who worked at the local school fate. Yes, yeah,
it was signed in tomato sauce. Well, mate, you weren't
gonna Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Wasn't gonna break that contract. You couldn't. I'm a man
of my word.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I've looked this up on the AEC website. Dom what
constitutes electoral brivery? It says under section three two six
of the Electoral Act provides that a person cannot ask for, receiver,
or obtain, give, or confer any property or benefit with
the intention of influencing the vote or candidature of a
(16:28):
person at a federal election. Now that is, if a
person is found guilty, they may impose a penalty up
to two years imprisonment.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Okay, so you're telling me I could put Clive in jails.
Well not quite, yeah, because it says down a little further.
The majority of complaints received by the AEC concerning this
section is in relation to the provision of hospitality in
brackets in the form of example of tea or.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Biscuits or a sausages. A second, at events organized by
political parties and candidates in local community. Section three two
six may not be.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
This is getting technical.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
What am I trying to say here? As it's reasonable
to argue that there is no intention to directly influence
voters or buy their political allegiance, rather simply offer hospitality
while facilitating political discussion. So it seems like that there's
a little bit of a wiggle around with some of
these foods. But your exchange was directly they said, if
you vote this way, I'll give you a sausage. It
(17:30):
wasn't hey, i'll give you a sausage and let's just
talk about these policies.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
No, no, no, it was a it was a deal.
It was a bargain struck.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
So I don't know if it falls under section three
two six or not.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's probably a statute limitations.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
It does say here that there's no there's been no
cases of electoral bribery brought through the courts in the
history of the federal parliamentary elections. This could be the
first one. And can you imagine them going through the details.
Now we need to get this right. Was it one.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Sausage with onion or without?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
And did they offer tomato sauce?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
And here? Okay, so what I should say, because I
was going to ask you, how do I get these
live text to stop? Because he doesn't give you an
opt out and we've all been feeling that he be
getting these texts. Should I respond and say, Clive, I
know about the sausage, stop texting me.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Yeah, that could be seen. Yeah, that could be taken
a little bit differently. Couldn't like you to have to
give context that sausage sizzle. You could be done for
sexting that.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
The Zach and Tom podcast.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
She's a celebrated Australian comedian, writer and presenter who's been
captivating audiences since two thousand and four. You may know
her as a team captain on Good Newsweek and host
of ABC's House of Games. We know her for her
hilarious wit and cut through humor.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
So I've got two kids.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
They're eight and ten years old.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
No longer cute, not yet interesting. Please welcome Claire Hooper, Zach.
One of the country's favorite comedians for a long time
now has been Claire Hooper, and she is kind enough
to join us on the show. Now, Claire, welcome along,
and it's a honor to have you joined us.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Oh, that's excessively nice. How don't you dream boats? Thank
you so much. It's an honor to be here.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
We're so well, Claire, and it's always great to see
new shows on the ABC featuring Australian talent. And you
might have noticed Claire Hooper's House of Games has started
this year. Now, Claire, I will never speak ill of
the ABC, but we would like it if they put
some more effort into promoting shows because we're just hearing
(19:43):
about this now and we feel so so let down
that we've missed a bit already.
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Oh my god, that's so embarrassing to you. Yeah. Look, well, look,
let's be honest about it. Our opening week was last
week and it was only slightly overshadowed by the death
of the Pope. Okay, so we do not need to
talk about that at length. But it's certainly it's hot,
isn't it. As an professional entertainer, like essentially a professional egomaniac,
(20:13):
it is horrific to realize that you're not as important
as the head of the Catholic Church, Like do you
know what I mean? What a way to wake up
to reality. But yes, so look, the good news for you,
my friends, is that all the episodes so far are
on I doe, So you've really only missed a week.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
In the bit.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yeah, that's capable.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's good, Absolutely it is. I'm curious, though, clear because
you've been involved in various topical news panel shows over
the journey, and I know these things aren't always exactly live.
Even if they're as live, they might be filmed an
hour or two earlier. Have you ever run into this
sort of issue before where you've made a joke about
someone and then some tragedies emerged in the next day
or two and you've had to go to sort of
(20:54):
cut the edit, do you know?
Speaker 7 (20:58):
Yeah, I feel like, I mean, I reckon that. The
hardest one was back in Good News week Days when
we were recording an episode in Sydney while Black Saturday
was burning in Victoria, and so it was it was
like we came out of a record and went, oh, oh,
(21:20):
the news has changed, so that you know, like sometimes
sometimes really big stuff happens and it is quite you
have to be quite nimble, or you just have to
accept that the audience is going to have to go, yeah,
I don't reckon, they knew, you know, like sometimes you
just have to not look like you've seen what's happening
in the world, and it's embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Hey, Claire, you're coming up to Brisbane to do the
Brisbane Comedy Festival in a couple of weeks. Your show
is nothing to see here? What's it about? And why
should we go see it?
Speaker 7 (21:49):
It's about falling over and being seen falling over?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Really all that do a lot?
Speaker 7 (21:58):
Yeah, mate, I fall over more. I feel like I
fall over more than the average person. I've fallen over
on stage outside of comedy venues, down the stairs of
common venues. I've fallen over while jogging, fallen over in
a ball dress. But the thing about falling over is
I don't know if Okay, I'm going to ask you
this question. Would you take twice as much pain when
(22:21):
you fell over if you will guarantee nobody saw Yes.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh, without a shadow of a doubt.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah. I've had a few. I've had a few falls.
And in fact, there's actually a debate Zach and I've
had before, at what age do you go from it
being you fell over to you had a fall?
Speaker 7 (22:39):
I can't answer that. I think that is a really personal.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Choice, and I.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Feel like so long as your friends still laugh when
you fall you know you fell Ye, it's when people
stop laughing at you when you fallen that you have
to worry that people are worried about you. And honestly
that's yeah. I just feel like the physical pain is
not as bad as the pain of the humiliation. So
that's what the show is about.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
There, you're going, Now, wouldn't it be ironic clear if
you fell over on stage in the midst of a
show about fall over? Has that happened yet?
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Yeah, Look, there've been a few close calls because hot
tip I've got at the end of my show, I
attempt a cartwheel on the stage if I've enjoyed. I
only do it if I've enjoyed the show. Yeah, and
I did it on a stage there was way too
small for a cartwheel, and it nearly did go badly.
(23:33):
I nearly kicked an audience member in the face and
went off the edge of the raised stage area. So yeah,
I'm gonna I haven't sussed out having the Brisbane stag.
I'm just hoping it's more than two meters wide this one.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Now, Claire, when you say that you'll do a cartwheel
if you've enjoyed the show. I feel like it has
the same energy that we get to watch five minutes
of TV at end of the class if the class
is well behaved, is this kind of an incentive for
the audience to really get into it because it's like, yeah,
we want to see the cartwheel.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
I don't even tell them that that's what they're going
to get. Okay, you get it or they don't get it,
and they they just I mean, I guess I've told
you now so that anyone's listener has heard the secret.
And if anyone that's listening comes along and doesn't get
a car, whell know, be very ashamed of yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Well, for those listening in Rizzy, you can get to
the Brisbane Colity Festival to see Claire Hooper in the
Nothing to See Here to May twenty second to May
twenty fifth and forever and all around the country. House
of Games is on ABC and on IVI. Now, Claire,
it's been so wonderful to have you on the show.
Thanks so much for dropping by.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
Oh, thanks so much for having me guys, and great.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Let's go who would they've off for?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
We'k out to know who would they vo from the
Zaka Damhold.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yes, Zach. The election only two days away now, and
we've discovered you have a bit of a secret political skill.
On the show this week.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I can tell you who fictitious characters would vote for.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Yeah, you can read into their personalities and pick what
they do if they were in the polling booth. We've
had a bit of fun this all through the week already,
starting with The Simpsons the other night. Tonight, I thought
to wrap this up. What we do is look at
some of the great animated characters from across numerous shows
through history. I just want you to give me your
gut feel about who's some of these people would vote.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Now.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
I know all of these because I need to know
the characters I think you would. I think I know
their hopes and dreams.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I've gone a pretty broad spectrum here. I reckon from
all various sorts of films.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
If you disagree with any of them, yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Will do well. The first one is a bit of
an Aussie icon, Bob the Builder. I want to know
if Bob the Builder he's left all of his friends
who are the machines at home, and he's walked into
the polling booth. Who's Bob the Builder voting for?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Well, he's union strong, obviously, he's a part of the
and he's voting for labor.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
You don't see much industrial action in Bob the to
do you No, you don't.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
But you see a safe job site?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Well, you certainly do. I mean, actually most of the
episodes are about something going wrong on the job site.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Maybe the union. Maybe they need a union wrapt like
eight drop the tools we're walking?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I like that. What about turning our attention under the
sea Squidward from SpongeBob square pairs interesting?
Speaker 4 (26:31):
What do we know about Squidward? He plays the cello. Yeah,
he's a little bit older than SpongeBob. I think a bit.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Grumpy's done him hard.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Would we say he's a boomer?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I think he's got a bit of boomer energy. Squidward, certainly,
I guess I would probably say liberal. Yeah, I think so.
I think he'd run as a candidate.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Well, he's got a neat kind of house going on there.
I've got a suspicion that he could have some negative gear.
He's being a property investor. Yeahlord, whether or not they
covered in.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Love that all right? So bother build a liberal labor
Squidward is liberal about Pumba from the Lion King.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
What do you get which one Pumba?
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Pumba's the Warthole, the the goofy water get and Pumba
mixed up? Yeah right, very boisterous, very loud, very optimistic,
a little bit silly and stupid at stages.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Well, here's one from left field. I think he votes
greens Pumba. Yeah, well, because he likes eating bugs and
that's very sustainable. That's you know a lot of greenies
say that's how we're going to save the world.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, we need to stop eating.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
Beef and we need to eat you know, grasshoppers, crickets,
et cetera.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Man, and he's on the forefront of climate change in
the in the African outback, African jungle.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Yeah, he sees it firsthand.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I like that. Now, this next one is a collective,
the minions from Despicable Meat. I think they have a
hive mind, so I would imagine they all vote the
same way. Who do you think the minions are voting for?
The yellow minions? Well, a little bit chaotic.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeap yellow in color and coherent messages trumpet and patriots
because I don't know if you've got those text messages.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
But alone of them.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah, you're struggling to make sense of it. It's a
little bit like Dominion's talking, and I.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Guess grew indespicable me has some Clive Palmer characteristics.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
He's got lofty ideas, doesn't want to steal the moon?
Yeah yeah, And what does Flive Palmer want to do?
Have a Titanic two? Yeah, they're both kind of like
out their plans.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I love it all right, Well, we are doing exact
picks who fictional animated characters would vote for. I've got
one last one for you, Zak, and this might cut
her close to him. It might be a hard one
for you. But Pingu, tell me Pingu, the Claymasian penguin.
You know you've loved for years. You've been a Pingu
man from way back. Who do you think Pingu votes
(29:04):
for in the election?
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Legalized marijuana? That's not actually Pinky's normal voice. Pinky's just
really high.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Zack and Tom podcast.
Speaker 6 (29:27):
Go ahead, make my day ready, dom We are trying
to lend a hand to the lesser known holidays.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Each night I bring two to the show. You and
I have to pick one each to become ambassadors for
for the next twenty four hours, trying to raise awareness
of lesser known holidays.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Just a little bit of Zach and Dom helping out
the little guys. I like to think that we're a
bit of the little guys of the media industry. We're
helping out the little guys of the day industry.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I don't know if this one needs that much help
as an entity, but as a holiday. Maybe tomorrow is
May the first, and I made the second. Isn't it
nearly Star Wars Day? Yeah? Well, actually it's in that realm,
is it? It's international Harry Potter Day. Maybe the second
be with you?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
What's the reasoning behind the selection of this date?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (30:13):
I don't know. That's a good questions, and you should
tell me because you're the Harry Potter man. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I can't think of any link to May too.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Maybe that's when it came out or something.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
I reckon it's them trying to get the jump on
Star Wars Day they go in two days earlier. That's
my best guess, can I ask?
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Twenty twelve, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron,
made the declaration that the day would be celebrated on
May the second each year, So really it doesn't look
like that it's linked to it. It was just like, oh,
that's what they could do in the UK. So this
is an official wowdy.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
There you go. Have you heard about the new Harry
Potter TV show they're making I have a big budget.
I mean, I know you missed the book.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
You missed the books, you miss the movies. Maybe you
should jump on for the TV show mate.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Apparently May the second and you should have known this
is the day that the Great Battle of Hogwarts was fought.
One of the great moments from the Wizarding World. It
was a good or bad it was the Battle of Hogwarts.
What I don't understand is, I mean, I did read
the books. I don't remember many.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Dates being given Christmas that's different from May the second.
Are they suggesting that in the Great Battle of Hogwarts
it begins on waking up on the second of May.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
No, it probably woke up in the morning Harry turned
over looked at the calendar May the second. That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I just don't understand now that you're going to jump
on for the Harry Potter TV series. They make. They're
saying it's going to be very exciting. What's it called, Well,
I imagine Harry Potter.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Oh right, So they're just redoing the story, are there.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the idea.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh so it's not like in the world of It's
not Harry's Little Sister or something.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
No, like season one will be the first book, Season
two the second book.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
Yeah, they're just redoing it.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
They're doing it in more depth. Is the theory. And apparently,
by the way I've looked into it, the Battle of
Hogwarts suppose that it took place on the second of
May nineteen ninety eight, which yeah, apparently Harry Potters set.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
In the ninety Really, yeah, there you go. There's no
real reference to it. I do know that I never
talk about tazis. No one's trading Pokemon cards. It's also
maybe the second scurvy awareness Day. Now I'm worried about you.
Why in relation to scurvy? Who is that? Well, because
(32:31):
you don't have fruits of vegetables?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Mate, I have fruit, you do, yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
I like fruit things with vitamin C.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a big vitamin C guy.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
You bet through fruit?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah, fresh orange juice? You have that to love it mate,
fresh orange juice. I would add that instead of water
for every drink if I could that every day. Are
you you know what? Now that you say that, I
think I should start having it more often. There is
only one downside to freshly squeezed orange juice, and that
is it ruins your mouth for every other taste.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah, you have to have it after.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yes you have before coffee, cereal, toothpaste, anything just ruins
your taste. It's no good for that front. But apart
from that, I'm a big fresh sqeeze strange juice. Mean,
Zach know that about me?
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Well, I think in general you're in danger of like
a lot of the diseases from the age of sales.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
I don't think that's true.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
No, it's not.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
You had a vitamin D deficiency for a while.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
I don't think that was an issue on boats.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Well, it would be for the little rats that are downside.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
But I think most people on boats got more than
enough sunlight, probably too much to be honest. So but
it's important because people are still getting scurvy, aren't they.
That's still a thing.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
Well, I've read this article. It doesn't say that I mean,
I guess like as any kind of deficiency around the world,
scurvy probably does pop its head up.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
That could be a story arc we could do on
the radio show I try to Get Scurvy. Why, I'm
just saying it could be interesting. Man, get scurvy? Are
you telling me that wouldn't make headlines? Australian radio announcer,
make get scurvy. We've been trying to find something that
will get us on the front pages, mate, Ossie radio announcer,
Get Scurvy? Would one hundred percent do it? Don't? Don't
you reckon? People listen in and say did you hear
(34:11):
the latest podcast from the scurvy guy?
Speaker 4 (34:14):
If you're putting your hand up for it, then I
won't stop here.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Well, it sounds like from what you're saying, I might
be already halfway there. I just keep going and already
I'm living into this.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
So if you just stop having orange juice, yes, you
probably will develop scurvy.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
And your dream has always been to be a man
of the sea. So this, I mean, this will gets
you close to the mark. If you hung out with
someone with scurvy.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Your nautical dreams had come true. I like it, No,
I mean, I'm on board with it. I just don't
know if it's the right headline.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Okay, well, which of these days do you want for tomorrow?
Speaker 4 (34:45):
You take a pick WHI They're not really either of
my things, are they. I guess I'll take Harry Potter,
seeing as there's a new series that I should check out.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It hasn't started yet. They're filming at the moment. Oh yeah,
it's a while off. It's going to be big though,
big budget. Nick Frost is in it. You love Nick Frost. Yeah, sure,
he's playing Hagrid. Unfortunately, I for you. Ron has also
made the cut. And I know you hate Ron.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Who's playing Ron?
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I don't actually know?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Is he a redhead? Still?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah? Yeah? Yeah, okay, yeah, but you hated in the films, So.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
I just think you could have cut it, and they
could have taken the opportunity here to cut it when.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
They're redoing it. Just get right out of the picture.
If you cut right out, Zach might have watched, So
that's him, bore Really well, I will take scurvy day. Then,
that is what we got time for on the show.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
