Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that phizzy
feature rolls Zach.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And have you ever.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Like this?

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Like strange this happens when's moral kids.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
This is Zak and Dom Well. I think we might
be about to potentially shift up the Australian pop cultural
landscape on this show, Zach. We're we're so enamored with
this news about Mary Fowler and Nathan Cleary, Australia's new
power couple, that we made it our task to find
a new power couple name for them, a ship name
as they call it.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
That's coming up on the show tonight. Yeah, what else
that we're doing, dom Oh, I'm had to record a
message for myself. My wife Sarah bade me. I was
in such pain today through only my own actions, Like
you need to record a message to yourself so this
never happens again.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Which is like sort of it sounds like almost a threat,
like you're saying, get the phone out recorded now, very
firm with you.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Well, so I will play that on the show.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
And you're telling me that there's an enormous news story
that we've missed about one of our favorite of a
TV shows.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
We've got a Instagram DM. Yeah from Prue saying, how
have you guys not talked about this? It's a good question, Pree.
I don't know how we missed it. I'm just shuffling
over here, dom because I've got so many papers. I
love having a lot of papers to go through. What
do you go, I've just got the show planned. Yeah,
produce so matics printed the Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowl thing.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Do you feel like a newsreader?

Speaker 4 (01:41):
What are they doing there?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:43):
I think a viral video the other day. The news
company shared it themselves, so I assume this person may
have done it as a joke. Okay, but you know
how they have a laptop in front of them sometimes
now the high tech places, Yes, and then they go
to the crane shot as they're kind of do a
cross fade the logo or the spinning globe or whatever
it is.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
This is. They're saying, we'll see you next time.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Good night, So they say good night, go to the
crane shot so you can see them from above. They
put their hands on the keyboard of the laptop and
then just mind a very obvious mind typing like this,
the kind of like how a puppet would type very
obviously not typing.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, I reckon they've done that on purpose to get
a viral video.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, that's an easy way of doing it. I think
about that a lot.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Ye.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
How could you ad your business? Yes, because a viral
video often only goes viral because it's authentic. Like if
people if they go like, oh, they knew what they
were doing, then it wouldn't be viral.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm going to pitch you some jobs, and aren't you
to tell me how that job in that industry could
make a viral video? Okay, bus driver, how does a
bus driver If you were sitting at the bus driver
table and you wanted to make a bus driver viral
video a couple of ways yep.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Set a camera up on you yep, and you do
a super cut of all your greetings. Yeah, and you
do funny greetings, yes, people funny names as they come on.
Another supercut one that would take longer. Yep. But you
wear a funny hat every day, and then you just
super cut through every hat that you thought. I got
another one, because you know what you're trading off here

(03:12):
is friendly bus driver yep. That is in the zeitgeis
that's something that we want to believe in as an audience.
We want to believe that there's a friendly, jolly bus
driver out there that's someone we can root for, we
can get behind.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I reckon. You could turn the camera the other way.
You can do a supercut of telling passengers they're there
is free today.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah, that's sort of an emotional good thing. You could
also do a variation on that one that went viral
a few months ago of like dance for a discount. Hell, yes, yeah,
you have that one out of survey. You could do
dance for a free fair. I like that all chef,
How does a chef get chefs hard? Because that space
is quite dense with people making content cooking contra. Right,

(03:57):
that's a good point, So that one would be a
lot more if he could. But I'm thinking with the
TV show Bear being quite popular at the moment, yep, okay,
could you do some type of parody of that? Could
you just do some type of behind the scenes of Bear. Hmm.
Maybe this wouldn't be viral, but it might be something
that might go.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
The viral video fancy restaurant? Can we take like? You know?
So this is the picture the start to chef piece
to camera, We've gone and gotten a frozen meal from
the supermarket. Can we pass this office at a fancy restaurant?

Speaker 4 (04:28):
So hang on? But does the chef kind of do
it up a little bit but gets the.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Frozen meal, presents it a bit nicely?

Speaker 4 (04:35):
But are all they do in presenting it or are
they taking that as a base?

Speaker 2 (04:40):
No, they're just presenting it. So the thing is will
people know?

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Why not? Right?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Chefs?

Speaker 4 (04:44):
We ain't like that though, because see that's more about
the restaurant though not the chef. You know, yeah, I'll
take it back all right.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
One more department store worker behind the tills at Meyer
or David Jones? How could they make a viral video anyoda?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Is it that one again? I'm thinking a super cut? Yeah,
some type of interaction with staff. Okay, immediately I'm thinking
about that guy, the delivery driver who was just speaking
gibberish into the Do you see that one?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's like if I just if I speak gibberish into
the intercom, will they still let me up?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah ye?

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Could you do something similar to that with how what
they say at the end, like a good bye? Could
you make up some good byes or some kind of
sayings like you think I've seen that somewhere.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
This is a job for you. You could be the viral consultant.
Companies bring you in for a morning, you give them ten.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Ideas advertising was it? Yeah, the companies try to do
this all the time.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
But you're really good at it.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Any things.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
They did other things wrong, maybe through my own actions
weren't able to generate enough business.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well anyway, I mean, look, if you want to send
us through the zacondom Instagram account, send us a job
to make a viral video for a you'll pitch one.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Often the issue is the brands say they want to
do things, but they don't want.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
To do things.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
They have a very limited lane that they're allowed to
move in. Yeah, and so they're like, yeah, we want
to like move in the TikTok space. Honestly, because this
was around, I was working about twenty one.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Can you wait the message about insurance teas and sees
into the joke.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
And like the amount you'd have to get things signed off,
and it's like no, no, guys like TikTok trends are
around for three days, Like if you're not striking in
those three days it's over and it would be like
a month later they're like, oh we should try to
do this.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, okay, well I reckon what we'll do. Then we'll
put ideas add into the ether for free. And if
if jobs want to take this, maybe tell us your job,
tell us your job in the zachon on Instagram, if
you'd like to make another video and we'll give you
the idea.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Yeah, e's this one something to do with weddings. If
you wanted to, like without not create a following, but
if you wanted viral videos, I would fake a wedding yep.
So you'd have one hundred people in a room as
the audience. You dressed people up and then you can
just do a variation of things going badly.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
You've just stolen And I don't know if feels like
this is a compliment or an insult. This is what
the NRL Footy Show did in two thousand and eight
when I went to the Live NRL Footy Show taping
what do you mean in South Bank Piazza in Brisbane.
Well they did. They staged and we only came out
days later that it was staged but at a proposal,
so they had someone on the one as well. Yes,

(07:33):
so they got the guy to propose to the woman.
She starts crying, sobs and runs off. Faddy doesn't know
what to do, and it feels like a really a
good moment. They cut to an ad break. Sitting there
in the audience, it's I'm caught piazza in South Bank.
I was thinking, what's going on here? The whole it
was captivating, And then a few days later it turned
out it was a little bit of a prank that
I think the Big Man had his hand in.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Well, we saw the Big Man. We're in the room
with him.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
We were only meet us away from the Big Man
at the.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
Right awards, as manly as we thought he would be.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
You were, you were starstruck by the big Man. Rugby
League identity.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
No, that's a that's totally different. But B that's a
good idea as well. Okay, because you've got to think
of things that people in the moment like they have
high stakes. So a wedding has really high stakes, yes,
and so people are like, oh my goodness, that's the
biggest day of their life. And the dress was ripped
while they were walking down the aisle. But if you're staging.

(08:27):
It means nothing.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
And then after a while people go, I swear I've
seen like eight weddings going wrong in that chapel. It's
been on, isn't it anyway. Look, if you've got a
job that you'd like us to pitch are viral video
for send it to Zach and Dob on Instagram. For now, though,
let's get to work. This is second Tom, Zach. I've
been given a pretty important responsibility by my younger brother

(08:51):
Hudson and his wife Natasha. They have their second kid
due in just over a six weeks time. I think
it's December eleventh. It is the Jewe date, and they
haven't told anyone the gender. They know the gender or
the sex of the baby. They haven't told anyone else
the sex.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Often also, yeah, couples keep the exact date a little
bit private as well. They're happy with you just saying
that on the radio.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Is that a private thing sometimes for some people? Okay, well,
I'm very apologetic.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Some people are trying to avoid family members, in laws,
distant relatives constantly bugging them about whether or not the
baby has come yet.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
The good news for Hudson and Natasha is my memory
is so dodgy with these things that I probably got
it wrong. I've probably got it wrong, to be honest.
But they haven't told anyone else the sex of the baby.
They found out a few months ago. They've been keeping
it a secret. But a couple of days ago they said, hey, Dom,
we want to tell you. We want to do a
one person gender reveal party. We want to tell you

(09:46):
the sex of the baby, so you can help us
with names because they're a bit stuck with names. But
then they said, the deal is, you can't tell anybody
else between now and the baby being born. You've got
to hold this secret with us. You're in sort of
the trio. Now you've got to hold this secret for
the next five or six weeks.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
So you did a one person gender reveal party. Yes,
what was that like?

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well? It was odd. You'll notice right now I'm very
on edge because the way I'm trying to recount this story,
I'm constantly evaluating every word I say to make sure
I don't accidentally say.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Baby, a balloon, a cake, smoke situation. Did they do?

Speaker 2 (10:24):
So they have a they've got an eighteen month old Roman.
I think I can say his sex's he's a boy.
That's allowed to be said at this stage. They dressed
Roman up in something sort of like a costume event,
so you know, you might have it written on the shirt,
what the I'm going to have a baby sort of thing.
I didn't say that. Yeah, I didn't say that. Don't
put words in my mouth.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
I'm just wondering if it might have been blue or something.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Could have been a color, could have been color. But
something that was on Roman that he was wearing sort
of announced to the sex of the baby. And then
we sort of had a moment of there we go,
that's what you gotta have. And it was wonderful for
like I reckon, it was wonderful for half an hour,
and then the massive anxiety has set in that I'm
going to be the one who ruins this, that I'm
going to accidentally let it slip. I'm going to accidentally

(11:08):
whether it's by a gift I go to buy them,
whether I'm just in conversation with other family members and say,
can't wait for Hudson and Natasha to have a new baby.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
You know, so you know how you'll probably stuff it
up using pronouns right right, yes, when he comes, that's it.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Oh, no, can't wait to meet her, can't wait to
meet him? You know that that could really give the
whole game away. Have you ever had to sit with
a secret like this, like somebody else's secret.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Those things don't bother me at all, you know, Like
you find out friends are pregnant or something and they're like,
keep it a secret. And then when it comes, when
it goes public, sometimes people are like, oh, exhale, I
can finally tell people. I'm like, oh, that's that's fine.
I was never going to tell anyone.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
I had you hadn't thought about it from the moment
you were told about it.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
But it's like, I don't find that difficult to hold in.
I guess because who am I going to tell? Is
Usually it's like my one friend has told me and
I'm like, well, I can't tell you, So that's everyone done.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Look that in one A six ' five, we want
to know who ruined the surprise. I want some horror
stories here? Is that just to warn me, just sort
of get it really ingrained into my brain about what
can go wrong here and what I need to make
sure doesn't.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Happen only around babies or like a surprise parties, surprise party.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Could be an engagement surprise, could be a wedding surprise.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Did someone coming back from overseas? Maybe yes, something like that.
Was there a surprise that you were a part of
and then.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Someone totally spoiled it? Because I want to know what
happened in that particular moment, so I can sort of
have a guide of what to avoid, because that's my
big fear, that there'll be a dinner that maybe I'll
have a great month. I'll hold it all through November,
it will get to December, It'll be just about time,
and I'll accidentally just let the whole thing slip, you
know what I mean. It could be as simple as
buying a card for the baby and on the card

(12:52):
it mentions the sex because I know that, and I
leave the card somewhere I shouldn't. Someone sees it. Bang,
surprise gone. There are so many ways this could fall apart. Terrified.
I'm terrified thirty one A six five? Who ruined the surprise?
What was the surprise that you were trying to pull
off until somebody ruined it?

Speaker 4 (13:07):
We got Abby in Sydney? How'd you ruin it? Abby?

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (13:12):
It got ruined for me?

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Oh no?

Speaker 5 (13:14):
What was it, so I was in labor. I was
in labor for five days and I ended up getting
rushed to have a cesarean. I didn't know the gender
of my baby, and when they pulled my baby out,
she wasn't breathing. I didn't know that it was a girl.
But a student doctor came up to me and said,

(13:36):
I'm so sorry you weren't able to hold your baby.
She wasn't breathing, and I was like, oh my god,
it's a girl. And then I passed out, Oh my.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Gosh, and the baby was okay. Alls well, yeah, all good.
Well that's that's good to hear. But that's I mean,
what a way to find I know, yeah, that's a
pretty I mean, that's.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
An emotional five days.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Can you imagine you've been in the immediate aftermath of
a delivery of a baby's act and I imagine this
emotion go and left, right and center.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
It's full on.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
That's why, personally, and everyone makes their own decision and
it's right for every individual. That's why personally, we chose
to find out beforehand, because we're like hectic enough, there's
enough going on. Yeah, yeah, you know, to throw that
in the mix.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
That's it fair enough. Thirty one A six five who
ruined the surprise? We got Cameron in Sydney. You sort
of ruined your own surprise, Cameron? What happened?

Speaker 6 (14:25):
So hey guys, First of all, i'most a huge fan
of the show. Came long story short, I earlier this year,
for my nineteenth birthday, I decided to organize a little
get together at a little local pubs that me and
my mates go to quite frequently. Yeah, anyway, I rock up,
they all rock up, and it turns out they actually

(14:47):
planned a surprise party, but I bundled it because I
already made bookings at the same venue for the same time.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
So they organized a surprise party for you. By coincidence,
you contact did all your friends and said, hey, do
you want to head to this pub at seven o'clock
and they're like, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (15:05):
So they pretty much let me fall into my own
little trap. So hats off to them for that one.
But long story short, it was a great night at
the end of the day, but a bit awkward, kind
of ruining the surprise myself.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Yeah, And I can imagine because people who are putting
a surprise party together, there's weeks of secret messaging and yeah,
it make sure.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
He could almost be a bit annoyed. Yeah, you would be.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
You would be because to pull off a successful surprise party,
you have to firstly look like a really bad friend
for a while. You have to, for a superiod of time,
make it look like you don't.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
That's why you have to do it for their birthday. True,
because if it's on the day and it gets to
like six o'clock and you haven't done anything, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Tayden is on the Gold Coast who ruined the surprise?

Speaker 7 (15:51):
Taidan so I ruined it? So in was it like
primary school or whatever. I was four years old and
one of my best friends. I was talking to my
mum about him at one point, and somehow we got
onto the topic of him being adopted. I was like, oh,
he's not adopted, of course, he's not, like all this

(16:12):
sort of thing. And I was like, how do you
know he's adopted, And she's like, well, his parents are
white and they adopted him from this country and all
this sort of thing. And so she's like, oh, it's
a secret. If he doesn't know, like, don't tell m
let him find out when he needs this sort of thing,
and it's always a good thing.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
By the way, Tadan to trust a four year old
with a secret, of.

Speaker 7 (16:28):
Course, yeah, And so me being four year old and
him being my best friend. The next day at school,
I told him and he's like, ah, nah, that's that's
not true. You're lying, You're just like making things up.
And I was like, no, no, it's true. And so yeah,
obviously him being surprised by he started crying and all that, and.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Then this is really we're talking about Tad and he's
possibly like lifelong trauma.

Speaker 7 (16:50):
Well, the next the next week we had, like, Sharon Talon,
you brought in this book that he's like parents had
a forum of like all his like culture in his
country of origin, all the sort of thing. So he
was pretty in a.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Week, Yeah, she four year olds are resilient, aren't.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
They get over it quickly?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's incredible. There are some adults if they found out
they were adopted, that'd be decades of processing and working
through it. Tadan's friend got through there in a week.
A week later, it's like, I'm good with that. Now,
what have you got for me? Next time?

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Pretty heavy?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
That's remarkable. The Zack and tom podcast, Where.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Where kind of jess where you've come from?

Speaker 4 (17:31):
This is a game for anyone currently driving home from
the airport. If that you give us a call thirteen
one oh six five. We think by asking you just
wind a question, we can figure out where you have
just touched down from. Let's start with Cindy in Melbourne.
I've got a question for you, Cindy, is the place
that is the place that you've just flown from known

(17:54):
for a particular animal? And if so, what animal? Hold on?
What do you are you googling?

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Are you talking to us, Cindy? Are you talking to
someone else in the car? No?

Speaker 7 (18:11):
No, no, I mean with my boyfriend.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
Okay, yes, Cindy, the place you've just flown from, is
it known for a particular animal?

Speaker 5 (18:18):
And if so, we shall project when I get too easy, well.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
What is it? It's going to make it too easy,
and we'll just say the animal group. Okay, yeah, that
does make it too easy. I think it's New Zealand.

(18:45):
You were right, Cindy, You were right.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Cindy was bangled there actually, but we'll take a point.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
Any meaning you actually couldn't get an animal more aligned
with the country.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
That's remarkable. That's so good. All right, Well we'll see
if it gets any hard. We've got Kerry Lee in Brisbane.
Kerry Lee, the place you've just flown in from. How
different a time zone was it to Brisbane? Was it
the same time zone? Was it a bit ahead? Was
it a lot of head behind?

Speaker 6 (19:11):
It was not the same time zone?

Speaker 7 (19:14):
And it was an hour and head.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
An hour ahead? Okay, so she's come from down south?

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Yeah, I reckon. That's daylight saving situation. Melbourne Sydney. Probably
Melbourne or Sydney is the only two.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Rat Well, I think Tassy's got it as well.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
But is that an hour Yeah, it's the same kind
of up and down line. Longitude of latitude, I never know.
I'm going to say longitude.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I think that's probably going to be the other one. Then. Yeah,
it's always how these things work. I reckon Kerry Lee's
flowing from Melbourne? Is that right, Kerry Lee?

Speaker 5 (19:45):
No, I have not Where was it I flew from Sydney.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
I knew it's one.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Of the it's a coin toss and I called wrong,
And that's fine.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
It should have passed about her animal Sydney. Oh we got.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
It all right. Well, let's see if we're going to
redeem ourselves with Josh, who's just touchdown in Sydney. It
is just off the runway. Can we guess where you're
flowing in from? With just one question, You've got a
question for Josh Zach.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
Hey, Josh, what type of a tire did you pack
in your bag? In regards to temperature?

Speaker 2 (20:20):
I had a few long pans. Did you have a beanie?

Speaker 5 (20:24):
No?

Speaker 4 (20:25):
No, beanie long pants?

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Okay, I had some shorts as well.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Okay, that really hasn't helped you at all, even remotely.
I don't even know what you are hoping. What you
were hoping was that we might get a big winter jacket.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Then we would do a guest the northern hemisphere.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Okay, that's it's not which hemisphere did you find him from?
That would I would have it?

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yeah, well I don't even know begin with absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
This is this is an absolute stab in the dark.
And I want you right now to take a moment
and channel you're inner instinct, because so often you don't
back your intuition. I want you to really think hard,
think deep, and you tell me the name of the
place that first comes to mind, and we'll see if
you can get even within a thousand kilometers of it.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Sri Lanka.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Okay, no, okay, where was it.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Josh Melbourne?

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Okay, not even the right continent.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
I mean to be honest, this is why your career
is a psychic failed.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
I got Kiwi really well. So, hey, if we had
ended on Kiwi, you'd be calling me a genius. It's
just the fact that we started on it and you've
forgotten about it.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
For the first time in my over ten year marriage. Today,
my wife made me record a message to my future self.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Okay, what do you mean a message to your future stuff?
Because sometimes these can be kind of a sentimental you know.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
A warning, a warning to like you know, like Zach,
this is you from the past. Trust me. So we're
not doing this again.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Okay, So this I'm guessing immediately. This is something that's
happened a number of times. And to sort of put
a stop to it, she said, you need to do
more than once. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
I had Mexican last night and I went a little
hotter on the tacos than usual.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
In a world of pain today, world of pain on
the couch because summit cramps. No do you do not
know spicy food? What the issue is?

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Now? I just want to get you to say.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
Well, your mouth isn't the only place that coming out
going in.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yep, there we go. That's what I was looking for.
Just what about you say it blake bluntly?

Speaker 4 (22:41):
So I was like, you know this is bad.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
You almost took off like a rocket. There's no power,
but it feels kind of like right, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 4 (22:55):
No, no, because of the heat, because rockets have like
like a fire. Okay, uh not for me, but everyone's different.
I don't know what your experience is like with the
local Mexican. But I had to pull out my phone okay,
and she's like, record a message to yourself because this

(23:16):
can't happen again. Yeah, I'm sick of it. So this
is what I recorded. Hello future Zach, heybody, this is
you from the first and November twenty twenty three.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Sup.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
I see tacos and don't be tempted by two dollars
Taco Tuesday. It's a trap. What do you think will
that be effective? Be able to look back.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
At you sound like you're struggling on that couch in
my underwear at the time. Well, here's the question, right,
because because this this is like people who wake up
after a big night and go I'm never drinking again
or whatever, But then the next weekend rolls around and
they're forgotten.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Once I see two dollars tacos on the menu, this
is I might be able to.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
So I don't know, maybe like fifty first Dates the
Adam Sandler movie, maybe you need this footage like played
to you every morning.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Should have recorded it on Sarah's phone, Yes, so she
can hold it up to me.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
That's it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Whenever I'm going like, oh, let's get Mexican.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
I'm going to go one step further. I think you
need a tattoo. I think you need a tattoo. No
two dollars, No two dollar tacos.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
It's like you know how people put on their chests.
Do not resuscitate, Do not sell me, no matter how
much I beg for her, don't give them to me.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
This is second time.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Stop what you're doing. Australia has a new power couple.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
This is big. This is massive news that we'll forever
shape the pop culture scene of Australia.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
Now. Mary Fowler, famous from the Matilda's like a goal
scoring machine.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Glove wearing.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
That was gloves.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, they don't know.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Mary Fowler back in the World Cup run, has been
spotted photographed canoodling.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
That is the right word, by the way, that's the
technical word.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
With the Panthers or the Penrith Panthers, New South Wales
state of origin and Australian halfback.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Nathan Cleary power couple of aert.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Is.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
I think two months ago there was rumors of his
going Wheren and people from both camps came out and said, no, no, no,
nothing to see here. They're just friends. Wow, the photos
that have been released today, that's not what friends do.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Well. Zach and I are good friends and we've never
laid in a park quite like this together.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
You've never got your kid off, never taken your shirt
off in a park. I had a bit of a cuddle.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
I'm pretty sure I've never laid my head in your
lap and looked up at the sky as the clouds part.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
I'm wondering, why does he have his shirt off in
these photos?

Speaker 2 (25:47):
He is ripped and that's why he's got his shirt off,
by the way.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
How ripped he is. I'm kind of surprised how.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
He's a professional rugby league player.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Yeah, but like I didn't, I guess he's he's.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Probably the best drug league player in Australia, so he's
up there. It's a fair case that. Sorry, I've realized
it's a big rugby league fan that's going to push
your buttons if I talk about how great he is.
You're not a big Fanthers guy. But that's fine. My
point is I'm not surprised as an elite athlete that
he's in great shape, but this is I mean, we're
talking one of the country's biggest rugby league stars, one
of the country's biggest soccer stars. Yes, this is enormous

(26:22):
and they've both had massive years too.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
So he went over to Perth. This is in a
park in Perth. So he went over to Perth to
quote unquote support the Tillies. And originally it was like, oh,
he just really likes the Matilda's. Well he really likes
one of the Matilda's.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Now do you reckon because they don't really follow rugby
league in Perth. Do you think he thought he'd be
able to be a bit more incogniate.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yeah, yeah, probably thought.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
No one's going to know who I am over here.
I'll be fine. It's the other side of the country.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
Well, actually that's interesting because Mary is wearing a lot
more stuff to like, yes, kind of higher identity a bit.
She's wearing a hat, she's wearing like a baggy jumper.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
And he's wearing a lot less stuff.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
He's not wearing a shirt, he's not wearing sunglasses, that
hat anything. It's like he's trying to draw attention to himself.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
It's almost like he had a shirt on that says
I'm Nathan Cleary Panthers Superstart. But look, this is this
is enormous news when you get a big power couple
and we haven't had one in a while.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
Yeah, two bigger people in Australian sport. Really and now
what they're dating.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
It's enormous news. And we haven't had a big Australian
power couple like this, big news of this in a
little while. It's been it's been a bit of a
break between drinks on this one.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
Obviously, you were saying Layton.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Hewitt and Bet Cartwright was the last big one. I
think you're right.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
Obviously, as a power couple, they're gonna need a couple
name a ship name, and I thought maybe that's where
we could get the help of Australia. So in thirteen
one oh six five, what should Mary Fowler and Nathan
Cleary's couple name be. We got a few on Instagram. Done. Yeah,
Martha from Paul, I think, is that a combination of
Mary and Panther?

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I think so?

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
I don't know. It sounds like you're referring to middle
aged woman.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
Sharie says, Maathan is too mainstream. That be Martha and Nathan. Yep,
So I have vote Clower, Cleari and Fowler.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
I don't mind Klowler coming.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
Jack says, chin gloves that pretty chin gloves. Well, Nathan
Cleary is known for his chin, is he? He has
a beautiful, generous chin.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
It's a bit like a comic villain's chin, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
He's like the chesty Bonds guy, remember that guy, which
everyone said Chris Brown was, But Nathan Brown's Nathan Cleary
is kind of like the brunette version. And also because
Mary always wore the gloves. Yeah, this one, clear foul
not bad because it's kind of like a soccer reference.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Clear foul sounds a little bit like a medical condition. Yeah,
how's your clear foul doing?

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Come up with? What do you think of this one
takes a bit of explain.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
That's the best ones we want, And it's really important
we get this right, by the way, because if we
don't get a good couple name for them now, then
then it's going to be too late. We've got to
get it at the very beginning. So thirty one oh
six five, If you do have a couple name for
Mary Fowler and Nathan.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Cleary, here's my suggestion for the couple name. Sure marinate
and are from Mary, then for and Nate for Nathan.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Mate, that's good.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Marinates.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
That good, that good will. And I'm picturing like a
newspaper cartoon, which is like both of them, you're sort
of marinating in some juice. I don't know, I don't know.
It's something. It is an hot tup, Yeah, hotup together, marinate.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
But the romance is marinating a little beer.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yes, it's nice. That's great. Marinate's the one that's our
leader so far. I reckon thirteen one o six five.
Have you got anything to throw into the ring here?
We're looking for a couple name for Nathan Cleary and
Mary Fowler Australia's new power couple, Adam and Melbourne.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
What do you got McCleary, Like McCleary, Adam.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
So sorry, talk us through it.

Speaker 5 (30:02):
So I was thinking like mccle because everyone loves mclover. Yeah,
and then I thought McCleary.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
And you know what I like about that as well,
Adam is a lot of couples, like look at Harry
and Meghan. They're trying to cash in on their romance,
a little bit on their relationship. These guys could bring
out a McDonald's burger. I like that.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
The McCleary, I'm just trying to figure out Nathan Cleary, Mary.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
And Cleary, so Cleary and then you just add an
m to it from.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Though, the issue with that is she just gets one
letter and he gets six, like it's really Nathan Cleary
and they're just a tidy bit of Mary Fowler. I
reckon she deserves doing more in the couple later that,
don't you think. Don't you know what I'm saying. You
know what I'm getting at. I reckon, we want something
a little bit closer.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
Matt in Sydney, what do you think the couple name
should be for Mary Fowler and Nathan Cleary.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Hey, guys, I'm actually taking credit for my partners like
power couple names, but we recommended Cleary, Cleary, Fleary.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, Fleery's ditential. Fleury has potential.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
It sounds like a little bit like Flea.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
It does. And again it is the situation where Mary's
just getting one letter in.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
You're really obsessed with this. Yeah, with Brad Jelina, Brad
only had one letter, two letters.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
No, that's not true because br A also were the
first three letters of his name.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
It just had the lean, but then the other half
of Angelina. What's that like leathered letters?

Speaker 2 (31:25):
That's true. I guess that's a good point. You're right now,
you are if you're getting.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Too caught up with they have to have fifty percent each.
It really narrows down how many options we have.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I think Mary foul is a bigger name than Nathan Cleary.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
She goes first.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yeah, that's true, that's true. Okay, I'll give you that Fleary.
I don't mind Fleury. I reckon.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
I could see checked on Instagram. I think they have
similar followings.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Okay, yeah, interesting, Well, Nathan Cleary's never been watched by
six million Australians. At the same time, Mary Feller's got
that over him. We got Daniel in Sydney. What's your
couple name for Nathan Cleary and Mary Fowler.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
Klola, Clowela, Kloela, the o w l E klayla take it?

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Tell us why why do you like klowlah?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
It sounds stupid.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
Daniel is not rating their chances high of continuing, I
think in this relationship.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, Daniel's just phoning that one in Klola Cloila sounds
like a pokemon.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah, don't you know clo is evolving still a bit
like that.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Denise in Sydney. What's your couple name for Mary Fowler?

Speaker 6 (32:36):
I think Marathon?

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Yeah, I don't mind that. That's pretty good Marathon.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
They're pretty they're going the distance in the individual.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Sporting Yeah, but then also the relationship is going the distance.

Speaker 7 (32:50):
True?

Speaker 3 (32:50):
True?

Speaker 5 (32:50):
That is.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
I don't think Denise had picked up that connection. Well,
we're workshopping together here. Yeah. Marathon so than comes from
the second half of Nathan yep, and from Marion.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Like that Marathon. Marathon and Marinate are our two leading contenders.
What are you thinking? So? I want you to picture this.
You're at Woolli's You're doing your grocery shopping and there's
a Woman's Day in front of you. There's a big
picture of the tour of them. They're on an island somewhere,
some tropical holiday. What can you see splashed across the front?
Or Marinate or Marathon.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Well, the good thing about Marinate is that Women's Day
like to do your recipes as well. They so they
could do a bit of a tie in there.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
I like that. That's true. That's true Marinating with Marinate,
they'll do a cookbook.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
You're listening to the Zag and Dom podcast Cook's Conversations. Man,
we think that we're doing a radio show here, but
it's been pointed out to us that it's something very different.
If you take things that we've talked about on this show,
slow them down just a little bit, it goes from
being a radio show to I don't know, a conversation

(34:01):
you might hear out the back two am at a party.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
It is the sort of thing. This is the outdoor furniture,
this is the outdoor lounges. You know, someone's leaning right
back to the point they're almost slipping off the seat
and having this sort of a conversation.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
It's a time of night where it gets dangerous to
play with lighters.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Put the lighter down, Yeah, put all sharp objects away.
Totally agree.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
I'll show you what we mean because earlier this week, Doc,
you were talking about cheesels. Yes, and how on the
back of the cheesel packet they have a bio of
the cheesels.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Yes, it's like a description of who the cheesel is.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Well, you kind of thought it was a bit more
sensual than it needed to be.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, I don't want to imagine the backstory of this
cheesel as a potential seductive partner, because, like the point is,
if cheesels, if this takes off, like what other bro,
you're gonna be buying a mars boe getting there. You
know he's waited for you and now you're here again,

(35:06):
take a big bite soft. Yeah, I can imagine. And
that quick conversation. How long after that until they do
a late night walk to seven eleven to buy a
mas bar? You know what? I love?

Speaker 4 (35:21):
Jesus, Speaking of late night conversations, how often do ancient
structures come up?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Too often?

Speaker 4 (35:30):
The other day on the show, we were talking about
the Pyramids verse Stonehenge.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yeah, that's right. Do you know Stone Hedge.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Was built like a thousand years after the Pyramids? Oh yeah, yeah,
that's a barrassing as far as ancient structures go, even
mispronounced Stonehenge.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
You really did get stuck into the fillers of Stone Ange.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Basically last Night show if you want to get the podcast.
But I didn't fight.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
You're saying a thousand years before that they could make
the Pyramids, and a thousand years later, this is the
best you can do. Some rocks in the field.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
I had my daughter's birthday over the weekend and it
was my job to make the fairy bread. Yes and no,
I forgot that you were such a passionate fairy bread
A curl I was in charge of fairy bread. Smashed
it out of the park.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Well done, tell me your recipe.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
So I went white bread, butter and sprinkles.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Interesting and was the bread like slightly? Did you have
it in the fridge for a bit to call the
whole bread down? The bread started to because otherwise the
bread goes were crusty. In the end, mad, I know
my fairy bread.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
Yeah you do, because you used to have fairy bread
every afternoon.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yeah, I loved it. I know my fairy bread. Oh gosh.
And there should be fairy bread at more two AM parties.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
I think they would be a bit Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Reckon, it's about time fairy bread made it returned.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Any sprinkle really elevate this bread.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
This is second tom huge.

Speaker 4 (37:20):
TV news that I can't believe we missed them. Okay,
just flicking through my papers here trying to find it.
It was a message I sent to us from Prue
on Instagram. You can get us at Zach and dom Alo.
Pru Pre says, did you guys predict the future again? Firstly, Prue,
I'm not super When did we predict the future in
the past?

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Sure it's happened, Yeah, I'm sure it has happened. I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
Was it our coffee coke? No, we missed that one.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
We missed that one. But I'm sure we have in
the past accidentally stumbled into an accurate prediction. What have
we done this time?

Speaker 4 (37:52):
Prue goes on to say, you talked about ready Steady
cook and it's actually coming back.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
