Speaker 1 (00:11):
I Heart podcasts, hear more Kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen
live on the free iHeart app A long time ago,
in a lab, far far away, a science experiment went
horribly wrong.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Out of that here rose.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Zach and.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Have you ever like this like stage happens when kiss.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
This is Zak and don Oh, it's a Wednesday night, Zack.
It's a gift, it's treated. It's an honor to be
here in your presence and alive.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Huge night tonight. We have more people to get on
the standby list, to get yes flights accommodation to the
Summertime bawl.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Mate, we're talking Benson Boone, Tate Mccrayme Miles with Lolla Young,
Zarra Las and Jesse, Jay Rider, Aora will Smith, Mariah Kerry.
I mean, the list goes on and on and on.
You could be hanging out with them at the Summertime
Ball in the UK in just what three or four
weeks We're going to be putting some more people on
the standby list a little bit later. And I just

(01:27):
keep thinking, Zach, it's a week or so away until
we call the person who's won and say, hey, you're
going to London. They're genuinely going to have to start
packing that night. Imagine. I mean you're gonna need to
have a pretty generous boss.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yes, yeah, you're gonna have to start thinking about that.
You could even now, yep, start having a soft conversation.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
I think you're gonna say a soft cough.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
M oh, you're going to say something else.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
I was like, what, No, I'm saying you start planting
the seeds like a really bad flu now and then yeah,
it just it gets you through your trip to the
UK a little bit of time. But look, we are
going to do that at around eight thirty tonights. I
stay tuned for that. Also coming up, Zach, I think
Tom Cruise has beef with me? Tom Cruise, Yeah, vision impossible,

(02:18):
I think so. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I think Tom Cruise surprised to learn that he knows
you exist.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
That's offensive, is it? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:24):
You're offended by that. One of the most famous people
in Hollywood. I would be surprised if they knew.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
I'm just saying that. Your first instinct when I say
he's got beef with me, isn't Tommy You okay mate?
How you doing that? Instead? Your very first response to
that would be what you've just said?

Speaker 3 (02:40):
There. So if I said I had beef with Oprah.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, I'd be like, woit, tell me about it. Man,
I'm here for you.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
You wouldn't be like, oh, you never told me you knew.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Look, I'll tell you around nine o'clock. Let's going on
between me and Tom Cruise. But I'm pretty sure he's
got beef with me coming up after this though. A
friend of mine got home last night, Zach. They opened
the bedroom door, and what they found waiting for them
in their bed has left them completely shaken.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
This is second Tom thirteen, one oh six five.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
What animal did you find inside? What animal got inside?
We are asking this because a friend of mine, she
got home last night from work, and you know, sometimes
you just when you've had a big det work, you
sort of stumble into the house. You just you want
the shortest path possible from the car to bed. You're
just ready to totally crash out.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
What's straight in work, clothes, your day closed, I've done
that before, shower, no food.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Sometimes you're that wrecked. It's been that kind of a day, right,
And that's the sort of day she'd had. She gets
into the bedroom, turns the light on, and there in
the middle of her bed is a bush turkey just
standing there. A scrub turkey standing there, staring straight back
at her.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Now does she live in a rural area.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Not middle of suburbia. She's never seen a bush turkey
in that part, and she.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Knows how it got in, she assumes.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Through the dog door. But she's that's the best guess
she's got. She had a scrub turkey in the before,
she's never seen one in the suburb. Like initially, she thought,
I must be so tired, I'm hallucinating the scrub turkey
on the bed.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
See. And then that's the worst thing too, when you're tired,
when you're just you think, I'm going to turn this
light on, Yes, kick off my shoes and I'll be
in bed in thirty seconds. Yeah, And then it's like
I've got to deal with this problem, right.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
And scrub turkeys are a slightly funny animal too.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, they're a little bit odd.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean, certainly when you watch them building their nests,
you know, just kicking sticks everywhere and leaves and bark everywhere,
you always think, what's going on in that head of theirs?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Do you think that? Do you? I? Do you marvel
at it?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm just curious to know. You know, when you look
at sometimes you see the most beautiful, graceful creation in
the world, you know, all sorts of doves and dolphins
and whales swimming through the ocean, and then you'll get
a scrub jurk and you're like, why are you here?
What's your evolutionary purpose?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
What do you mean? Well, it has a place in
the ecosystem.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Which is what what's the place?

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Well, it eats bugs and stuff like that. Those big
mounds are great compost heaps.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Do you know a friend of my parents actually has
literally written the book on scrub turkey's mating habits.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Why don't you ask that I could.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Get in touch. Actually, Daryl Jones is his name. He's
a professor and he's like the world's leading expert in
scrub turkey's mating habits.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, you're saying that like it's a flex clang name drop.
You were just mixing it with all the superstars.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Mate. It's really interesting stuff, apparently, because the scrub turkey
babies have to find their way out of the mound
of like wood and leaves. Yeah, like it's basically day one,
dig you a out. I mean that what welcome to
the world, little bush turkey did?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
How did your friend get it out of the house?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Basically chased it with a broom, which I think I
do as well. So left the door wide open, chased
it with a broom, got out on the front deck.
They went to sleep. Apparently didn't wash the sheets or
change the sheets.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I just went straight in on top of that, hired.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
They're like, I don't care.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
I was looking off our balcony to our neighbors once
whose front door was open, and a scrub turkey just
randomly ran out of the house. And I told them
later and they're like, was it? They had no idea
one was inside, So maybe like ventured in. But I
mean they have a few kids, you know, and I
think one of the kids probably left the door open.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Well, maybe we should specifically ask thirteenie, have you had
a scrub turkey inside? Because maybe this is more common
than we think. I mean, I've never seen a scrub
turkey indoors, seen plenty outdoors, never won indoors. But I
don't know, mate, Maybe they're evolving at a rapid pace
and they're ready to live in human built shelters. Maybe
we could domesticate them. You could get your own scrub turkey.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well, yeah, we've done it with chickens scrub turkeys.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
You could have seven scrub turkeys in a little little
hutch in the backyard.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Are you willing to accept just animals inside in general?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
I am thirteen one oh six five. Have you ever
had an animal inside? I mean an animal that you
wouldn't normally expect to see inside you found it inside. Obviously,
if it's your your family dog or cat, that's probably
not remarkable. But if you found a snake inside thirteen
one six five. All sorts of birds inside always entertaining.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think my friends had a possum inside once down
the chimney. Obviously no fire at the time. Yeah, it's
kind of hard to get out possums because they're very skittish.
They got it out though, Yeah. Involving multiple people standing
in multiple corners and trying to make the room smaller
and smaller.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
That is quite like a philosophical statement, make the room
smaller and smaller.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
It was just like, no, well there was one opening, yeah,
so you try to force it out the door.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Basically Robin on thirteen one o six five. This was
in New Zealand. Robin, what was the animal?

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, stated a friend's place up in the Chitarangi Rangers,
and they had a rooster, Max who swept on the TV.
But they also cat a hole in their floorboards so
their ducklings could come up through the floorboards. And they
had a goat Nancy that on Christmas Eve drank half

(08:23):
the bowl of punch and staggered down the hill.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
So they had quite a.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Variety, very free range. Those animals at seed.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Free range animals, so these were all their animals. But
they just came inside quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
Oh yeah, practically.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Yeah, I mean it was such a surprise for us.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
But yeah, that's not all New Zealanders live like that.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
But no, we need to make that clear. Not all
Kiwis do live like that.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
You didn't seem impressed with that, Well, I was more
thinking animals you weren't expecting to see inside.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I mean, I guess Robin wasn't expecting to see.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
That there's a rooster. Yeah, I mean they've let it in.
I think that's what I mean. Your issue is you
want and you should be more specific animals who have
entered without consent.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I guess I mean that's a longer solicit to throw
to the phones on I hear you, But we'll go
to Karen on thirty one A six five. This is
when you were a kid, Karen. What was the animal?

Speaker 6 (09:19):
It was a snake. And it's like in the early
two thousands.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
What type of snake was it? Do you think?

Speaker 2 (09:24):
No?

Speaker 6 (09:24):
Idea? Was a long black stan It was freaky as hell.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Do you know, Karen, it would make a great story
if you said it was a red belly black snake.
Can we just say it was that? Sure?

Speaker 6 (09:33):
I don't know what the belly looked like, So work.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
What did you do? You had a red belly black
snake inside?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
What happened?

Speaker 6 (09:40):
I was going up the stairs and I just saw
like this long stick looking thing, kind of like half
on the wall, half on the floor, and I got
As I got closer, it started moving and I started screaming.
My dad comes out of his room wondering what the
hell is going on, and he's ready probably to beat
me for being too loud whilst he's asleep, and then
he sees a snake. He freaks out, but then he

(10:01):
does the most dad thing I've ever seen, and bloody
just grabs the thing by the neck, puts it in
a plastic bag, drives off without saying a word to me,
and then fifteen lady comes back. And then I swear
to god, it was like, in the next day, the
same snake, at least it looked like the same snake
came back, same spot, exact repeat, but this time Dad

(10:21):
goes out for like a whole hour and it never
came back again. But it was just whild that it
came back.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Homing snake a lot in that story. It could have
been like one of the snake's relatives, could have been
maybe it was a mating partner.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, a couple of snakes.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Have you seen snake's mating It's weird.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's very weird.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
They are very in coiled.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Kind of looks like what you know, the what's is
it a medical emblem?

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
And you see the snakes sort of intercoiled in that
that emblem.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Is it medical?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah? Medical?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, Well, there's a coat of arms for some organization
that has two snakes seemingly coiled together.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Good detail. I'm just saying that emblem for some type
of organize.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
No, we can stop the showdown while I do some googling.
If you want a medical emblem, two snakes. I'm searching
that up.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
That's not what you said, though, What did I say?

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I found it. It's called the caducious Apparently it's the
true symbol of healing and medicine. And yeah, two next coiled.
So I was on the right track.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
I think they look pretty similar when they're fighting too,
really confusing, very confusing.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Look thirty min six, I were asking what animal did
you find inside? Sophia. You're at an airbnb when this happened.
What's the story?

Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yeah, So I was at an airbnb in Orange. I
was going with my parents and they have left to
go to a restaurant. I was meeting them up there,
so they went earlier and I got to the house.
No one was in there, and I went to put
my stuff down and there was three kangaroos, like and
one of them was like a little one of these

(12:07):
like a little joey and like the way one of
them looked at me like I had just intruded on
their like family dinner.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah. Yeah, And were they big kangaroos or like little ones?

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Yeah? One of them was massive, right.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Like legit kangaroos, not little.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
I'm speaking like not the type of kangaroos you see
when you drive up like along the highway, like the
massive ones that you like seeing like videos, and so.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
This is what.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
The cabin doors were left open, and the kangaroos were.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Just in the kitchen.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
They were just no, they were in the living room.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well that's one.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
They were just there.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
And what did you do, Sophia.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
I called my parents. I shut myself and I called
my parents and my dad had to come home. And
he got like the fire, like the stick for the fireplace,
and kind.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Of like, I wouldn't be doing that with a kangaroo.
I'd want more than a fire abroad.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Really why they're.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Quite aggressive animals, mate.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, in fact, they're on.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
A coat of arms as well. That's probably the only
two coats of arms I reckon. I know, yeah, the medicals.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
You didn't even know the medical corps. You just said
some coat of arms.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast or.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Summer Time Access, now.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
We're sending someone all the way over to the UK. Flights,
accommodation and tickets to the Summertime balled on. This is huge.
Eighty thousand people attend this festival and you could be
one of them.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's that simple. We're talking about artists like Benson Boone,
Tate McCrae, Myles Smith, Lolly Young, Zara Lass and Read
or us so many more as well. If you'd love
to get on the standby list, all you gotta do
is give us a call on thirteen one oh six
five Zach. And this is where the radio station said
to us, Hey, guys, we'd really like you to maybe

(14:08):
get one, one or two people on the STANMD list
each night on the show. We said, are you kidding me?
We can do better than that, We reckon, We can
give it more of a crack than one or two people,
which is why they said, you got thirty seconds, that's
your max. As many people as you can fit on
in that time. You're welcome to have on the stand by.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
List, do you, tire doumb I do I do.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Let's give it our best shot here, thirty seconds on
the clock. Let's see what we can do. Hey, Cindy,
are you there? Yes? I am. How do you feel
about being on the standby list? Cindy, Oh god, I'd
love it?

Speaker 6 (14:41):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Do you reckon?

Speaker 1 (14:42):
We can do it all right, you're on the standby
list Elena in Melbourne.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
You're on the standby list. That was very high pitched
than Cindy.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, is that your normal time? I'm getting caught up here,
but that was sorry. I want am I doing Jackie
and Sidney. You're on the standby list, Jackie.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
We got to hear from your Jackie. Oh yeah, yeah,
we'll put you down.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
You're on the standby list, Jackie.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
I mean, is Jackie still there?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
I don't know what's going on with Jackie.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Oh you've dropped out. Yeah, but you're on the stand
by your name on you got on?

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, that's that the.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Worst phone line in the country.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
That's honestly lucky that all you needed to do was
make a noise. Yes, because if it was any other competition,
if you had to answer a question, if you had
to sing a song, I don't think Jackie would have
got anywhere with it.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
The Zack and Dumb podcast.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
I'm only in my mid thirties, but I I catch
myself getting annoyed at more and more things that are
happening every day. Yeah, so I want to share some
of these gripes with you.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
All Right, somebody's there's a place.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
In the world body angry young man with this working
class guys.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
And now I don't know. I'm going to be honest,
I don't know if Australian radio needs any more green
white men.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I feel like old. That's how it's diverse. There's no
grumpy young white men.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, okay, I suppose that's true.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
I suppose that's I guess. You know, I've got two
young kids, domb and I can see I can see
the gripes that my dad had.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, just like rearing in me.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
You know, like your dad was always annoyed at something.
Oh totally martyring around the house.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Anyway, Yeah, life's on is a big one. So I'm
gonna share three gripes. I have you tell me whether
you think these are valid concerns.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I mean, I just things that are annoying me lately.
You're too young to be on a soapbox, but I
can hear you ready to do this?

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Go for it. Saturday surcharge. Yeah, I went to a cafe.
They had like a fifteen percent surcharge for Saturday, a
weekend surcharge. No thanks, So what.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Do you think of a Sunday search charge?

Speaker 3 (17:07):
That's fine because you have to pay staff time and
a half.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, sometimes some places have to pay stuff extra on
a Saturday.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
What do you mean some places? That's not a law.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
I think it is.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
No, it's not Saturday. There's no Saturday rates for hospitality.
The idea is that somedays meant to be like a
rest day, and so like you're coaxing people out of that.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Okay, yeah, no, like that has a reason.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
I'm like, but everyone's that's the only time anyone goes
to a cafe socials in a tourist destination as well.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Your coffee costs you seventy cents extra.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
No, no, well, breakfast's the whole family. Come on, mate, Yeah,
we're not all made of money like you.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Okay, yeah, all right, I'll give you idea you're going
to take in this climate.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
You're going to take the attitude that people should be
able to spend a bit of extra money. No, I'm
going to take the attitude that hospitality workers deserve all
the pay they could possibly get. They're not getting it, mate.
You think they're passing that on to the staff you're dreaming?

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, all right, okay, thatllad grit.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
The next one's to the daycare menu that two young
kids go to. Now, this is a complicated one because
they're actually too good. Yeah menu, Yeah, yeah, because they
get fed there. You're unaware of this.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I did it. I mean my memory of going to
daycare would have been that maybe you're getting a sandwich,
like a platter of sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
No, no, no, there's a cook employed there.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
The daycare high has their own in house cook.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
This is not uncommon. That's lots of lots of daycares
do this.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
Well.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Do they have a Saturday said charge?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Well, they would if they were open all weekend. But
they send out the menus and the menu's too good
and it's annoying me.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
What do you mean it's too good?

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Well, because my wife and I have vegetarians, but the
kids aren't really vegetarian, but they just have vegetarian food
at home, and I like to use daycare as an
opportunity for them to eat meat. But the menu so healthy.
I'm looking through it, there's barely any meat. They're trying
to do like more veggies and stuff like this is
their chance to get a little bit of protein in.

(19:11):
I need you guys to use that.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
So what do they save in them like kinwar salads,
and there's.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
A lot of that type of stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Are you serious?

Speaker 3 (19:18):
They eat quite well, but.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
It feels like a wellness retreat.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Well they are. This might come as a shock to you,
but children are humans stuff, so you do have to
feed them real food.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
I understand that, But it feels like you've gone away
and paid fifteen hundred dollars for a three day wellness
retreat sort of menu.

Speaker 3 (19:37):
On some of the daycares are quite expensive. You might
be a lot You've got a lot to learn about
the world.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Well, yeah, I don't have kids yet, and you put them.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
On the idea, here's one that you'll relate to. How
do you feel about this? I've had mixed feelings before,
and now I'm rallying against it. Rounding up for a charity.
I'm with you on this because, and I'll tell you why.
I like the idea of the charity donation. You're getting
the credit as a massive multinational company. My donation's behalf

(20:11):
because I know it was a big supermarket who was
doing it to me.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, it's fun to get to the end. They say,
would you like to round.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Up fifteen I know they're gonna out all those up,
get a big fat check, roll out their CEO to
do this big presentation. That's not your money, that's the
customers money you're donating.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, and more than that, think of the tax credit
they're going to get.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Oh you think they're riting it off.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
They'll get a tax break.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Now here's the thing. If they were to match it,
I'd be okay. If you were to get the donation
off your groceries, yes, that would be them putting their
money where their mouth is. But right now they're just
It'd be like if you and I were hanging out
watching a busker and I said, hey, man, can I

(20:57):
have a dollar? And then I go take that dollar
and put it in and the busker says to me, oh,
thank you so much that I really appreciate that. No,
I agree, And you'd be like, hey, that's my dollar.
I should get the thank you.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
So for the four cents that you rounded up, you
want an invite to the charity luncheon where they present
the big check.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
You know, sometimes it's not four cents. Yeah, because if
you spend nineteen dollars five yeah, okay, it's fifty five cents.
And if you go to the supermarket three times a
day like I do every day. This can be adding up.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
It could be a dollar twenty two.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
Every day every day, and then the third charges are
getting me on the weekend. I can't have a coffee anymore.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
No, look, I like this. I think you might need
a couple more catchphrases to make grumpy young man work,
something like in this day and age, what have we
come to un Australian. I mean, these are the ones
the grumpy old men go with. Maybe you need your
own spin off of these, mate, just to really punctuate
when you talk about these at the very end, sort
of a sentence that captures your anger and gets the
rest of the country going, Yeah, we're with him, We're

(21:56):
with him, Sure you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, and now you're annoying me. So you'll be on
this next.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Week the Zack and Dom Podcast.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
If this is your first time listening to the Zach
and Dom Rady Show, you might think you're listening into
it an evening radio program.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Well that's what we think we're doing, a nighttime radio show.
But it's been pointed out to us Don that that
might not be the case. If you just slow down
some of the things we talk about just a tad.
It goes from being a radio show to a conversation
that might happen to party late in the night.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
And that's how we do this.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Cook's conversations. We have producer Claire here. You have a
couple of examples of this Claire from the last week
or so.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
So the first one is from Make My Day that
we do at the end of every show.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
It was Chu hour a day.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
Ah, yes, I remember two hour day. Yeah, all right,
well let's listen to that. You know, when I was
a kid, I thought Chua is going to be a
bigger part of my life.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
I rely ever see them.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, if ever, A friend of mine at a Chu
hour growing out DC at a Chu hour. I think
it bit one of my shirts.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Do you think you had a particular problem with you know,
it was with everyone.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
It's pretty cart bland. Really, you can't say you wouldn't
be talking about something like that on a night. Yeah,
and especially reaching for a phrase like cart blanche, because that's.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
The funny thing, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
It's like in a sentence, seven words will be slurred, yes,
and then one will be in French. Just perfectly perfectly pronounced.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
I reckon ninety percent. Two hour chat happens at two
am and at the back of a party. Yeah, ninety
sent of the time two hours come up in conversation.
That's the sort of context of it. What's the next one, Claire.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
You're gonna hate me for this one?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Dom?

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Last week in Freedom you asked for older callers. Yeah,
and this happened.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Oh gosh, there'd be some really cool old people who
I reckon would listen to tickets, who'd love this music mix.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
You can't use this as a way to meet groenies.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
People in my life who listen to us. Starting to
believe that I might actually have a granny thing because
of what you've been saying.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
There you get. And the funny thing is the more
you protest.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
I know, honestly, like a friend of mine recently said
to me, have to listen to the show. They said, Dom,
you know it's okay if you do. To say no,
I genuinely don't have a granny thing. I mean, I'm
not opposed. I can't help myself in I'm not opposed
to anyway. Let's move on. What have we got?

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Inverted foods is something we spoke about the other day. Yeah,
that's right, but this kind of kicked off the whole segment.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, okay, imagine this an entire large meat ball with
tomato sauce and a tiny bit of bread on the top.
It's inverted pizza. Yeah. Can we make a note to
come back tomorrow night to invert foods because I honestly
think we could be onto the next big food trend.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah. I mean it's been two weeks. Nothing's ever happened
with inverted.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Food inverted foods, which often.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Is the case with cooked conversations. Do you think you
come up with a great idea and then you look
at it in the morning and you're like, what were
we talking about? A giant piece of bread with a
meat ball on it?

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well?

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Yeah, I think inverted food started as a salad that
was mostly croutons. That's exactly with one lettuce leaf.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Basically, an inverted food is where you flip the ratio.
Whatever's taking five percent of the food takes ninety five.
There's something there.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
In the cold, hard light of day, I still think
there could be.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, what's your gut feel on it?

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Maybe for salads. I think we start with salads because
salads usually have a little bit of the good thing
a whole lot of the less desirable items.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
That's true. What about this inverted frog in a pond,
an enormous Friday frog a little bit of jel But
those are both.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
I don't think you're really getting it.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
You're listening to the Zach and Tom podcast.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Tom Cruise is coming after me. He's mad at me.
I don't know why I got beef with Tom Cruise.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
I'm surprised to learn this. I would have thought that
Tom Cruise, one of the world's most famous people, wouldn't
know who you were. So to learn that Tom Cruise
has beef with you is a surprise.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Well, the new Mission Impossible is out nine. Yeah, I
think it is actually nine, it's eight or nine? Yeah,
come on, I think.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
I remember two. Okay, well you know the one where
he suspends down.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I think it's the first.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, that's the first one, and then the second one
I think has some scenes in Australia, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
At this point they've been all around the okay with
this frenchip, and then that's all I can remember. It's
the last one. Supposedly they're saying it's all done here,
mission impossible aids here. But but Tom's been making his
way around a bunch of preview events and there's one
clip that's been going viral where he runs on stage
at sort of the start of the film, big previous screeting.
He walks out in front of the screen to thank

(27:18):
everyone for being there. And it's one of those things
where they've clearly got one of the social media people
with the phone behind Tom as he's walking out in
front of the screen, and they catch an interaction that
Tom has with someone sitting in the front row of
the cinema. Now, as this, as Tom walks past this
person sitting in the front row to walk at the front,
you can see that this person's popcorn bowl is empty.

(27:40):
It's word noting the film hasn't started yet, and the
popcorn bucket's empty. And Tom is quite surprised by this.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
You eat all your pop.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Now? I feel personally attacked by That's not that's.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
A pretty common thing. I think that would be. I
thought the popcorn was to get you through the preview?

Speaker 1 (28:01):
What do you mean to get you through the previews?

Speaker 3 (28:02):
They go so long these days, that's what you have
to endure. And so you need a little snack to
get you through no se previews and the ads, and
then by the time the movie starts, you're all clean.
You're already and you're not going to be distracted by snacks.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
I always think the candy bars snacks should be aiming
to get you to the halfway mark of the film. Yeah,
you should have something still to eat at the halfway
mark of the film.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Are you a multi snack guy?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Can be on occasion?

Speaker 3 (28:29):
What would you do? I imagine a combo deal?

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Are you rarely the combo deal? Mostly because I can't
bring myself to say, can I have the combo deal?
In the combo deal?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
You are a man who has gone to the cinema. Yeah,
as an independent trip to get popcorn, Like when you're
not seeing a movie, So you're okay doing that?

Speaker 1 (28:51):
I love cinema. Well, they don't know I'm not seeing
a movie, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
You kind of matter. While you're buying it, You're like,
I can't wait for this, I've been dying to see
the latest Tom Cruise.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Well no, I mean my point is every time I
have finished the popcorn, and it's happened many times in
my life before the film starts, I always feel a
sense of shame him, like, oh good one, Dom. That
was meant to last you throughout throughout the film and
it's all gone now. To be outed in a viral
video where Tom Cruise walks past, I know, that's my

(29:27):
that's honestly my worst nightmare is to be outed for
the entire cinema and the whole world and movies. The
Tom Cruise literally the star of the film. I'm about
to watch to know how much I've picked out on
the popcorn.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
But once you start popcorn, yeah, it's kind of like urinating.
It's hard to stop. Once that stream go, You can
stop for a little bit, but yeah, you can't shut
it completely off.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Then that's true. And it's very hard to eat popcorn
one or two pieces at a time, yes, you always.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
And it's also just such a nothing food. Yeah, I
know second kind of tastes safe by die, but this
is just nothing.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
You're shoveling it in, you give your Suddenly your cheeks
are filled with popcorn, and then and then you're feeling
a bit sick and sorry for yourself. The film hasn't
even started. And then Tom Cruise walks out and names
and shames you. I mean, this is why people don't
go to the movies anymore, you think so?

Speaker 3 (30:29):
In case an a list, Yeah, it's a bit rich
from him.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
What do you mean, Well, you.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Know, you know, he has personal trainers all the time
in the world to get fit, has all the money
in the world to eat whatever he wants. He could
probably afford a combo deal, I imagine, Well maybe it depends.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Probably not. At the current candy bar prices, he might
be stretched. But I think this is why people prefer
watching a film at home on Netflix, mate, because at
home you can put the popcorn in the microwave and
if you finish it, you can put another bag in.
Or do you think you could eat in one sitting? Yeah, comfortably?

(31:07):
Three of the Maxi buckets.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Yeah, plastic bag foold you reckon?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Oh yeah easy?

Speaker 3 (31:15):
Like garbage bag.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's tricky, that's harder. I'd give it my best shot.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah, I guess it depends do you have a slushy
or not? Yeah? Then watch it down.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's exactly it.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
This is second Tom, Sure ahead, make my day.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Are you ready?

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Dog?

Speaker 3 (31:37):
We're trying to give a leg up to some lesser
known holidays. We're trying to get the word out. That's
why each night I bring two to the show, each
occurring in the next twenty four hours, and you and
I have to pick one each to become ambassador for
you know.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
You do hear about this? People say, did you know
it's Eat an Orange Day? And you go, no, I
didn't know about that. I knew Christmas Day existed and
Valentine's Dave, but I don't ad about that one. What
have we got coming up tomorrow on the twenty second
of May?

Speaker 3 (32:01):
Thursday, May twenty second? Is World Goth Day?

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Interesting?

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah, you don't see many goths around. They're having probably
a bit of a low point. I reckon, when does
it say, when will Goth Day began? Two thousand and nine?

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, ye, peak, No, I don't think.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
That you're a bit late even No, no, no, because
you're getting goths and emos confused. True, common common thing
to happen. Yeah, but goth is more. It comes from
Gothic rock, emo rock. Well, yeah, I think eighties would
have been pretty big.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
I would have put Evanescence as a goth band.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
They could have crossed over.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Oh okay, right, we could do a bit of em
bit of God. See my Chemical Romance.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Full Emo, Yeah, the Emo.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Give me a full goth, A full goth band?

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Well it started, apparently, would Kiss.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Be full goth? I don't know. I'm just getting confused
with the makeup. What's a full goth band?

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Well, it started because the Doors were described as gothic
rock apparently, is what I'm reading here back in nineteen
sixty seven, and then moving into later times Velvet Underground,
the Cure.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
I'm seeing here there's a big goth band.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, but I think the Cure would have been Emo
if they were in the two thousands.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
I feel like these definitions aren't clear enough, because I mean,
I'm struggling to understand what differentiates a goth band from
an emo band, And I, yes do feel like I'm
having a two thousand and five conversation right now, Claire
saying screamo music. I don't think goths were screamo though?
Were they screamo? Clear?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Is that your memory? It was a bit heavier, wasn't it.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
I would have thought it be more like sweeping strings
and like feeling the pain on that.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
No, not at all.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
What am I thinking? A lot of yelly, screamy stuff
like that?

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Dada you're thinking of vampires.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, it might be.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Possible. That's not even a music genre.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
I think I'm thinking the score to the Twilight films.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
No, not goth.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Vampire emo. What's the crossover there?

Speaker 3 (34:08):
The This is why Goth Day is so important. I
gotcha to raise some of those fundamental values.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I reckon you could one hundred percent go jet black hair.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
I've never dyed my head. Did you dye your hair
in high school?

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Color schoolies?

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Black dyed at jet black because you feel a little
bit emo?

Speaker 1 (34:26):
No, I've also once bleached it. I've gone both color
options for the hair. The bleach suited me better than
the black.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Do you have any photos of like, did you do
a fringe like the emo fringe?

Speaker 1 (34:38):
No, I'll get the hair sort of a bit curly
like it is the black. Just honestly, my skin's too pale. Yeah,
it really contrasted.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
That's good for like goth.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
But that's true. But the bleach, I've often thought about
bleaching it again because when I bleached my head the
next day, someone said to.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
You, surf, yeah, you like that.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
I was like, no, I don't, but I like that
you think I do well. Bleaching's in But you probably
have to shave your head a little bit.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Why, well, because it's like short bleached hair.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
No, no, no, long wavy bleached hair. Right, Yeah, that's
what I'm going.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Thursday, May twenty second is also Sherlock Holmes Day. Ah. Cool,
you're big Sherlock Holmes man.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Well, I love the British TV Benedict come a batch
Martin Freeman adaptation. No other Sherlock series or adaptation is
ever quite captured.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Have you heard about this one? Detailed on the page
for Sherlock Holmes Day, Yeah, without a clue, A film
from nineteen eighty eight, ringing any bells? No, apparently. In
this comedic take on the characters, a drunken Sherlock Holmes
is played by Michael Caine Batman Alfred from Batman.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, Michael Kain place. Everyone thinks that of Michael Caine impression.
I'm not going to do one, though, but he plays Sherlock.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Apparently, a drunken Sherlock in a comedy version of Sherlock
Holmes go. Yeah, You've always struck me as a little
bit of a Sherlock because I have a resemblance to
come to.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
No, you don't have resemblance to come a match for
the thousandth time. No, I just think if this show
heard a dadamic, I'd be Watson and you'd be Sherlock. Yeah,
you know, you'd be You would be like the sort
of the genius detective, and I'd be the best friend
you bring along everywhere.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Did you know that Sherlock is in the public domain now? Really?

Speaker 1 (36:22):
So we could do our own nice okay? Seriously? Yeah,
so hang on, I could make Sherlock merch and sell
it and make a profit.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Yes, you could. You could do whatever you want with
the characters.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
How does that work? Public domain? How long do you
have to wait?

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Well?

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Do you know what if they keep extending it? Yeah,
and it's said to because it's said to be because
the Disney characters keep coming up, and so Disney is
trying to extend it, extended, extend it. They've got to
the end of like whatever, whoever the body is is accepting.
And that's why like two years ago, Steamboat Mickey. Yeah,

(37:00):
the first ever Mickey Mouse reached the public domain. But
it's not like all the Mickeys. It's like that Mickey.
They're being very particular with it because obviously they're making
millions and millions and billions of dollars off it. They
don't want just anyone to be able to print a
Mickey shirt.

Speaker 1 (37:16):
And I guess this is the idea of public domain, right,
is you can have creative rights over something for your lifetime.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Loosely that's how it started. Yeah, but now it's like,
could be it's over one hundred years. This one, for example,
Sherlock Holmes was like first published in like the eighteen hundreds,
so I think it could be one hundred and twenty
years possibly.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
So one of the segments on our show, beloved segments
coming up tomorrow actually DAYBT. Yeah, are you telling me
for our lifetime no one else can get to day bet?
That's what I want to hear.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
No, well, I don't think we've got a copyright on that.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
Damn it. They're going to come for it, man, Yeah,
very be careful on that. Well, which of these days
do you want?

Speaker 3 (37:56):
I'm thinking of making my own Sherlock Holmes movie. Okay?

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Interesting, I'm going to do.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
What genre they've done? A comedy? Have they done? A horror?

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Have then a musical?

Speaker 3 (38:08):
They have not? And I think I'll call it Sherlock
Homies And it would be someone from the streets. Yeah,
realizes they have deductive powers.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
That's cool. Yeah, we've been talking for so long. I
forgot what the other day was.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Goth Day.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
All right, well I'll take goth Day.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Then pray your head black again.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
I'll revisit it. I mean, I just need to make
sure I figure out what the difference between goth email
and vampire is to make sure I celebrate the right culture.
