Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that disk
rolls Zach.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Have you ever like this?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Like strange, this this happened?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
When's seconds?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
This is Zack.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And don here we go. I never know quite how
to start the podcast. Do you feel that, Zach? Sometimes
like yeah, that comes across. I'm just saying I feel
like all the great openings have been taken in.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
History, well until there's a new one.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well, okay, let's go through a birth one. So Robin
Williams obviously good Morning Vietnam doing Good Morning Vietnam. Right, really,
that's the only great opening to an audio medium. I
can think.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
He's taking it with that one.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
What do you what do you think? What do you
when you think of great openers, people starting a show,
radio show, podcast, great audio openers? Does anything else come
to mind for you?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I were your favorite growing up? Yeah? Both that favorite
growing up?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Aim, shit, Andy, it was actually was Andy ripping off Robert.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
He was the Good Afternoon. That was one hundred percent
of Good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Reference.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I've never realized that until right now. I thought they'd
originally come up with their own thing way of doing things.
I think that was good morning Vietnam. There you go.
You do you remember the six months that you introduced
the show instead of me rememb what you ran.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
With when I anchored the show?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, what did I do?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
You did a hey how welcome to the show every day?
To have something Hey HOI welcome to the show every day?
Would you do that again?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
No, I think i'd leave that in What was that
twenty nineteen? Yeah, okay, I don't remember. Was that two
thousand and nineteen.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It would have been, yeah, yeah, Yeah, there was that
while where one radio boss we had said I know
how to take this show to the next level of me,
and they said, we'll flip the rolls and we'll get
Zach to talk first.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, there was a lot of you were off the
buttons for a while.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, it was I being phased out. I think I
was being phased out.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I think they were removing any excuse you had. I
don't even know what that means, but I mean it
was like, well, like, you know, let's see how he
goes off the buttons. Maybe it's the button instead of
stressing him.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I did used to get stressed a bit back in
the stressed a lot sometimes I listened back to the
old show.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
He's talking so fast.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I'm talking so fast. I don't get stressed anymore. Really
on this show?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Has that come across?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Calm a man these days? Bit more zen? Which is
a word I've gotten in trouble for using in you know,
audio mediums before. But I do feel a bit more.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Zen with your Buddhist agenda. That was a one boss
that accused him of having a Buddhist.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Agenda, secret Buddhist agenda because I use the word zen
on the radio once, which that was an old one.
But yeah, no, I don't know. I feel like I'm
calm enough to come up with my own opener. Can
I throw some at you? Good day to you all?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
What do you think that feels a little nineteen forties
news report?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, but that could be sort of the it's a hipster,
we're bringing.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
A back transor you could do it with a trans
Atlantique accent.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Good day to you all, like that sort of thing.
It's not fair, Okay, I can kicking it off with that.
I don't like starting to get show with an accent,
especially because what if there's been like a day of
heavy news and I'm doing an accent to kick off
the show.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I'd find that it's an esteemed accent.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It is an estemed accent. That's true, that's true. What
about Okay, this is not entirely me, but I'm going
to play with it anyway. Let's get this party started. No, no,
can producer Maddie laughing from outside.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I don't think that mic ever got a party started.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
These are meant to be sound through studios. And I
could hear producer Maddy laughing through the glass at me, saying,
let's get this parties and.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
The parties that you've started before.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I've started parties.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I've started parties, started some party mixes, some party pies. No, look,
you've covered before how you spent most of the time
at childhood parties at the snack table.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, and I reckon what I approached it. I would
have said, let's get this starting part this party. I
can't even say the sentence. Okay, that's tricky. That's so
you're rulling out. Let's get the party started.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
What happened in the when you're at a kid's party
and they have the food table, if they had like
a packet of party mix, aren't opened. What would you
how would you approach that as the easiest question, you
wouldn't look for an adult thoughts on that or mission.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
No, it's there for the party party mix. What do
we at a party?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I mean mix it up.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
There might be certain contexts like I mean, Zach, you
know I've gone for the cake in the fridge. You
can't be surprised open the party mix.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
New story at Alex's sleepover where you got up in
the middle of the night and you're siphoning off cake.
I can even multiple trips.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, well I think that, yeah, that one the alexis
sleep every one. I more remember for the party bag
situation with his mum at one in the middle, So
you've I think it.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Was a different the cake a number of times.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I think there's but there. They all blend into one,
all the parties I went to as a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, So, but you ate the cake before this song?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
And now you were a connoisseur of kids parties. See,
you would have known that you have to sing the
song first. That's one of the main things you learned.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I knew that that's how the rookies did it.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, but you know you think they're not going to
send me home? What are they going to be?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Can I give you some I'm dead seriously, missus Stevenson,
what are you going to do? I'm going to give
you some really quick maths here, right, average party cake
for a party, we're looking at roughly sixteen slices, probably
at kid slices at a random guess. Right now, most
parties are starting to Yeah, I'm going to say that
they either had two cakes and different numbers. But if
(05:57):
they had just one cake, we're looking about ten to
twelve people. Now, it doesn't take a genius to realize
not everyone's getting seconds.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But we are listening to a cake genius.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Now, the party, the birthday, the birthday kid, the birthday boy,
the birthday God, they're going to get seconds. So there's
only now three or four slices of seconds cakes left.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
So your plan was while everyone's having their first.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yep, that's it.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
That's the big If you're get in early, because this
is it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
If you wait, if you stand at the back and
you get handed your plate last, by the time you finished,
all the seconds are gone.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
We hang on, are you scoffing a piece while they're
played in them? Up, so they might have cut them
up and they're putting them on paper plates and they
you know, they're putting the sixteen out. What I'm getting
the impression is that you said that you ate a
slice before the song. I sometimes wouldn't they notice that
the cake was compromised while singing the song and possibly
(06:52):
in the photo that they take of the party. Yeah, child,
you know you're blobbing out the candles. They're like, why
is the god chump taken out of it?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, that's a good point, and I don't I must
have been I must have only attempted that when there
was a second cake.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
What like this talk of a second cake?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
If you had like forty kids at the party, one
cake doesn't cover forty, so you have a second cake.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
But they don't have a second cake on the table,
No another table. You went looking for a second cake.
Sometimes you're doing a headcam and you're thinking that cake's
not big enough. There must be a second cake.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Around here, the two cake.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm going to slip off and look through the kitchen.
Did you ever look through a kitchen?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I certainly would have looked through a kitchen.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, open a free.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Certainly would have. I don't remember doing it, but I
certainly would have.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I wouldn't put it past you.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
No, no, no, no, but again, man like this cake
on offer, Yeah, you've got to jump in. You got
to take the cake or you can get it. So
I would never. I'm quite sure I never took a
slice out of a cake.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
You know what they say, say you can't have your
cake and eat it too. You can if you're dumb,
fat you can eat it a number of times.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah. Look, we've got a bit of an insight there
into strategies for kids birthdays. I still don't think I
had my opening though. I still don't have the way
to start the podcast. So maybe people could send some
ideas through to Zachondom on Instagram. How do you want
me to kick off the podcast?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
And dom will give them.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
See how they feel on me. So and do it
right now, because obviously, you know we've got a great
podcast coming your way in the next half hour or
so here, so you're gonna probably forget about this bit
later on. So right now, get your phone out, go
to Instagram's aconom send a message of how I should
open the podcast, and I'll give it a go and
we'll see if anything fits and feels natural. For now, though,
let's get to work. To Zach and Dom podcast, What's.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
The pettiest thing You've ever done to an X? During
an interview on the Drew Barrymore show dom Over in
the US, Megan Fox has revealed that she's taken her
anger out on X's on more than one occasion.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Cannot believe this story.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Where's the worst thing You've ever done to an X?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
I'm not That's something I could sound TV.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I know. I just too.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
When I was young and I did have a temper
and I was wild. He had a freshly painted house
and I painted a Frederic Nietzsche quote all over his wall,
so he had to repaint his house afterwards.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
So she's painted a quote from the I guess kind
of existential nihilistic philosopher Nietzschure. And apparently she went on
to say it's an angry credit about how life is futile,
which I kind of want to give her points for originality.
I mean, that's it's rare you get existential sort of
philosophy graffiti on your house.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
It's a deep cut, it really is.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Normally it's like, well normally it's you know, a couple
of swear words off. Yeah, that's normally it. It's very
rare that the F stands for Frederick Nietzsche.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Well, also, you don't want to do that many letters
when you're angrily painting. Yeah, you probably only want to
do four or five letters, don't you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, because I would think generally, when you get the
paint brush out of the spray canand or whatever it is,
the first like the start of the graffiti, is fueled
the anger. By the time you're on like the second paragraph.
He sort of you dram a bit, a bit sorry,
thinking what am I doing here? Was this really how
I wanted to spend my Monday afternoon?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Wondering how often this happens? Probably a lot? Yeah, Yeah,
taking revenge on an X. You sometimes hear of it
with cars, you know, whether it's like egging them or
covering him in toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, well thirty one oh six five, We want to
know the pettiest thing you've done to try to get
back at an X. Producer Maddie sort of confided in
us and we were chatting about this earlier, and she
said that, what would you say, Maddie early.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Describe yourself when you were younger, a bit of a psycho.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, that was your words for yourself. Tell us what
you did. What was the worst one you did to
get back at an X, Say, the.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Worst one was throwing all of my ex's furniture and
clothing out onto the front lawn and leaving it and
moving house.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Okay, so that would be a pretty common one, I reckon, I.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Think so, So are you like getting help to lift
like a couch up and get that out on the
lawn or are you just going you could get.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
It was like cheap ii keya furniture, so it was
like a desk and a chair and all like a
dresser Like they I just threw that. They smashed onto
the ground.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, that does seem like a scene from a rom
com almost as a sort of because that's the thing
is the other person feels like then imagine coming home
later and you're sort of apologizing to the neighbor saying, yeah,
I broke her heart, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Sorry everyone. The dangerous thing about that too, is like
that could go missing that because people could think that
you're giving it away. Yeah, there was a bit of
a controversy in my neighborhood over a similar situation. What
do you mean someone was going on the group page?
You got to bring back the desk. Yeah, I wasn't
giving it away. I was just storing it out there
for a few hours, right, bring it back.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Bring fate, wasn't council pickup? Yeah it's a good point. Actually,
there needs to be somewhere unify people. No, this isn't
for free. My ex is mad at me, that's what's
going on here.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Thirteen one oh six ' five. How did you get
back at an AX?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
What was the petty thing you did to try to
get back in the next or maybe the petty thing
somebody did to try to get back.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Maybe it wasn't even petty. Maybe it was granted.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, maybe they deserved it. Maybe they one hundred percent
deserved it. Thirty Monday six five What did you do
to try to keep back at an X?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
We have Jody and Melbourne? What did you do? Jody?
Speaker 7 (12:13):
How do you chaps? I'll look petoff to Megan. I
got got to give it to her. So the pettiest
thing I did probably was was maybe twenty one twenty
two when I broke up with my ex and it
was a bit annoyed. So I advertised his car on
a car sales website at a ridiculously low price and
just said he's going overseas low CA's full log book, history,
(12:38):
et cetera, et cetera, and that people could only make
inquiries be twenty hours of twelve thirty and one thirty
Monday to Friday, which was his lunch hour.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
This this is incredibly wealthy.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
That also quite it's annoying without like being criminal.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
That's you know what I mean? And did you ever
hear how many calls he got? Did you ever hear
an update?
Speaker 8 (13:03):
He?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Look, we've broken up on pretty amicable terms and we
used to prank each other quite a bit. And I
think it took him maybe two business days to work
out because he asked someone, why are you ringing now?
And they said, oh said And as soon as they
got that detail, he was like, yeah, I know who
this is. So he got in touch. He goes tued
off to you. That was that was fair play.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Well done.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
I like he got quite a few.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
That's pretty good. And you know what, it actually does
remind me. I remember a friend saying once, sometimes when
you've had a bad breakup, your inclination is to sort
of flood the x with messages, and they said, don't
do that. Instead sign them up via email and phone
for every possible service you can imagine.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Like I did with you. I keep signing you up
to the newsletter.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
No, you've done, you haven't something, you have to heat somethings,
just the Andrerio newsletter, and you keep unsubscribing. And there
are so many times or I'll just be like, I'll
wake up one morning, this is Andreel, the Austrian who
pension his Love'll wake up in the morning and I'll go, God,
damn it, how has he got me back on his list?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And I just public service announcement. They don't check for like,
you don't have to very no your email. You can
just put an email in. They'll start sending them newsletters.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, and suddenly you get flooded in your inbox every
year with what andre yels up to. Honestly, he's doing
a big gig inventors soon. I read that the other day.
Do you want to go?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I'll pass, okay, but we do love the pizza song,
don't we. You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
ALM.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
This is a national vibe check dom. If you're currently
in the car with more than one person, give us
a call thirteen one oh six five. We think by
asking you just one question, we can figure out whether
your dates or mates romantic or platonic.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
We're kicking it off with Rebecca and Sally in Sydney.
Question for you, Rebecca, what is Sally's fragrance of choice?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Like the name of the fragrance? Yeah, yeah, I would say, maybe, right, Harry.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Is that right? Rebecca? That's right? Okay, what do you think?
I'm not sure either, because what you could do hypothetically
is just say whatever I say, agree to it.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Just a tricker but in saying that, I mean Sally
seemed to have a fair sense early on, Like if
I asked you my my fragrance, what's my fragrance of choice?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Links Africa?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You're a traditional guy and it's nor is it sausage
by Bunnings Because we've had to stop wearing the sausage
scent sizzle scented coloone? We invented too powerful, we learned.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
They Okay to back you in, Yeah, I think they are.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
You guys are a couple, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
No, we're siblings.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Ah, there you go, well, that's you know, the fragrance, right,
because the fragrance you probably shared it in the childhood
growing up Jed in the house.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
What how young did you start wearing?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
You might do it in your teenage. Yes, that's not
unheard of.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
It were the same one.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Well, you take a while to get through a whole bottle.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
We have Pauline and Hugh in Melbourne. Pauline, my questions
for you. What's hugh favorite movie?

I think so too. You guys a couple? No, no,
we're not a what are you mother and son.
Speaker 4 (17:12):

many Paulines under forty?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Oh, territory?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Have you met a Pauline under forty?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Let me ever think about it? No, but I haven't
met many Pauline so my survey size isn't very broad.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, but all of them I've been over forty, haven't they.
That's all I'm getting at zero from too. We need
to bring it home here, I got one here. We've

Speaker 4 (18:13):
Makes sense about it? Yeah, I reckon? Couple?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, because they know each other's been Yeah, I mean
you go unless your housemates maybe, but no, you guys
are a couple, aren't you.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Yeah, we're a couple. Okay, good, we're not one. Statistically
we should get at least one. It's a fifty to
fifty shot.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Well, not only did we get one, no Zach, but
we also have a good film recommendation for the weekend.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But two.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Actually, this is second time.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I've got two young kids at home time. Unfortunately, both
sick at the moment. Three year old Peaches and a
nine month old baby Finch. Yeah, and that's rough. Yeah. One,
they both have variations of some type of virus.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And when did like you get the first warning sign that.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You're in trouble over the weekend, and you hope that
it's just like, oh, maybe it's just off. Maybe they're
just a little bit hot, maybe it's not a fever,
but you know, becomes more regular, or maybe they just
got maybe they're crying, they've got something stuck in their eye. No,
no conjunctivitis.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But look, you've done well to stay so healthy.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
So far, so far, so good.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
But like a hunger Games, you sort of hold on
for dear life. I imagine in that scenario.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Well, the way it kind of works is my wife
and I we split, Okay, so she looks after the
baby as much as she can, and I'm looking after
the toddler as much as I can. So I was
looking after her last night after the show, you know,
because she has quite a disrupted sleep well while she's sick,
like a lot of us would.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Now, I want you to take a tally here of
how often and how much my sleeping arrangement changed overnight.
So I get home after the show last night, I
walked into our bedroom and my wife and the baby's
on the bed, and I didn't want to disrupt them.
Usually I would just go into bed, but I didn't
want to, like risk waking them up at all because
(19:55):
I didn't know what that night had been to that point.
So I was like, I'm just going to sleep on
the couch tonight, okay, just to really make sure that
you know, no one wakes up. So I start on
the couch.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
So that's step one of disrupted sleep. Already you're not
in your usual spot. That's step one.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I hear the baby wake up fifteen minutes later, so
I slept for fifteen minutes. The baby woke up, my
wife went to the toilet. I thought, well, here's a disruption.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I'll go into the bed, got a window an opportunity
to get to the actual bed you're there to sleep in.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
So the couch to the bed. I'm in the bed
for fifteen minutes again, So another fifteen minutes asleep. I
hear my toddler wake up. She's calling for me. She
wants to go sit on the couch and be kind
of like soothe.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
We're half an hour into your attempted sleep, and this
is the third disruption.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yep. So I go from the bed to the couch.
Now I fell asleep on the couch sitting up. I
don't remember a lot of those details, yep, but at
around four am I tried to get back into bed.
Now what we've done is we bought Peaches a big
bed for these types of situations. Also, I think she
(20:57):
just sleeps better in a big bed.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
So now I've got my wife and my baby in
our room. He ches is on the couch.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Just like a cludo.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
So the free bed now is her bed in her room? Okay,
sleep in that.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
So okay, that's the fourth fifth.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
So you you got.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
A bit of sleep lying on the couch, a bit
of sleep lying on the bed, a bit of sleep
sitting up on the couch. And now you're going to
your toddler's bed for another attempt at sleep.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
About half an hour into that, I hear her starry again.
She wanted some milk or to be comforted. So I
went back onto the couch. I resettled her. So I
went from the bed back to the couch. The go
at five am. It's light by now. Yeah, I'm like, okay,
I'm going to try to get some more sleep by
going back to the bed. So I went from the
couch back to her bed, to her bed.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I think I slept till seven, right, So what's that?
How many are we up to?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I think that was six or seven different sleeping arrangements.
And I think you've won house sleeping arrangement bingo, which
is what good news. I think you slept in every
different room in your house last night.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Thank you. Honestly did I slept on the couch yep,
the toddler's bed and my bed, and I guess I
didn't get into the cot. Yeah, that was the only
one I was missing.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
The Zack and Tom podcast, we're asking on one six five,
what did you think that you discovered that you were
the first person to stumble upon and We're asking this
because maybe one of our favorite moments in the history
of this show happened recently. We were we were talking
with Hannah in Melbourne and Hannah said this, I'll say
something ruck that you guys have probably never tried, because
(22:30):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Sell them in supermarket.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Would put of mulberry calls.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
We've heard of Mulberry's, Hannah, we have a.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
I thought I like discovered there.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I thought they discovered Mulberry's.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yes, because Mulberry treat too, and I've never seen them
anywhere else. I thought it was like my discovery.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
And I love what I love about that, Zach is
for a lot of time in human history that kind
of would have been how things worked totally. Someone would
have just gone, I wonder if you can eat this berry,
eating it, enjoyed it, survived and gone. Guys, I found
a berry.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Well before the internet too, when you came across things. Yes,
you probably thought you were the first one for a
long time. Look, there's no way to find out that
you weren't.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I want to know if this has happened to anyone
else they didn't one O six y five. What did
you think that you discovered? I had this memory, Zach.
When I was in year nine or year ten, I
was like watching Channel seven late one night, and you
know they love to put on like a late night movie,
like back then at eleven o'clock midnight movie sometimes just
to get you through the night. I watched this film
that I'd never heard of before. It never entered my radar,
(23:41):
and I was loving it. I was watching it even
through the ads and whatever. You know, this film's great.
I'm going to tell my friends about this at school tomorrow.
Rock up at school and go, guys, I was watching
this film. Has anyone heard of Jurassic Park? There's like
these dinosaurs come back.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
You have to be a real cinephile to that one.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Well, my friends were honestly thought I was joking. Initially,
I was like, no, no, no, it was on Channel
seven last night. I thought I'd found some indie hit
that no one knew about. But now it turns out
a couple of other people had found Jurassic Park.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Did I do the same thing with Coldplay?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
What do you mean with gold Play?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Didn't you think that Coldplay were like an indie band
that no one knew about?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
No, I didn't know were an indie band. I just
heard Viva Levita on the radio and said, you guys
have to hear this band. They're really cool. I quite
like them. What did you think you discovered? Producer Maddie
was telling us that you had one based in nature.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Mads, Yeah, I thought I had discovered this set of
like really gorgeous rock pools up in Noosa and Queensland,
really beautiful place. Yeah, and I went back there with
some friends and it was filled with people.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Is this the Fairy Pools?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:48):
So when I went around nationally famous, ye, well fools
like they're even on the map and everything I thought
I discovered all over Instagram. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
But it's like Zach the time you we into Sydney
and discovered that beach out at BONDI remember that and
you're like, guys, did you guys know there's a beach
out of here, pretty decent spot. You're listening to the
Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Misty in Melbourne. Yours is car related? What is it?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah? So I'm on your fuel tank. In the newer cars,
there's like the little petrol bowser picture and on some
of them will have the arrow that will point to
the side of your car that you fuel taking on.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
When I made that connection, I was so excited. Went
home to a husband's like, oh my gosh, did you
know this and he's like, yeah, yeah, high I did.
I thought you did too, And I was like, are
you serious. I'm like, well, you know what, it's still
new to me.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
That is pretty exciting that because what I think with
these situations is you still made that connection in a vacuum.
No one had to tell you. You still had to make
the connection.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah. Yeah, because I think that friends too, and they
were like, yeah, dude, that's been around for a while.
I'm like, we'll shut up. I've had older cars that.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Okay, it's been around for that long. People knowing about it.
See I reckon ten years.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I reckon Somewhere between five and ten years ago. There
was a big thing of like viral like land Bible
to post it. People are freaking out about this. I
mean now, I reckon it's a bit old.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Hat, missy. I heard people at the service session the
other day, Yeah, talking to each other about it.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
There we got two tradees, so you don't need to it.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I'd love to hear on thirteen one oh six five
if anybody has just discovered that, if you're driving around
and you had no idea that the arrow on the
fuel gauge points to the side that the fuel caps
on of your car, you didn't know that. Thirteen one
oh six far to make Misty feel better.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Hey Mia in Melbourne, what did you think that you discovered?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Ah, this wasn't me.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
This is someone I know of.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, this person they thought they discovered something called dunch.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Okay, no, Mia, Mia, Firstly, how dare you? Secondly, how
long have you been sitting on this? It was months
ago that I invented Dutch, the lunch dinner hybrid meal. Well,
how have you been sitting on your chance to call
up and have a dig at me about it?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Ever since you thought you came up with it?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
What you think is so good? Mia? We didn't even
remember that. We were trying to think of Hey did
we do we? Are there any examples in our lives
where we thought we invented something that we didn't dom
You ran a campaign for about three months earlier this
year to launch a new meal called Dutch, which was
halfway between lunch and dinner. Everyone told you it's already
been invented. We googled it. It was all over the internet.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
No, do you know what, I'm just going to take
people behind the scenes a little bit here.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I don't think you told that to produce a Mattie,
did you, Miya?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
No, that's pretty that's you told producer Mattie. You gave
producer about a false story about something you thought you
invented so you could get on the show and confront me.
Jerry Springer s live on air. That's what's just happened,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Yeah, remark well done, very well.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
But I'm still claiming Dudge despite what Mia might say
and what the haters might say. As I've said to
you before, the haters are going to hate and the
eaters are going to eat. And that's an old saying
of mine, and Dudge lives on.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I don't know whether to trust you or not. Did
you invent that saying or not?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
This is second Tom Zach A moment ago on the show,
we were talking about things you thought you'd discovered, moments
in life. What you think I reckon. I've stumbled on
to something here that no one's ever heard of before.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
And we heard from Misty who said this about the
fuel gauge in her car.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, so I'm on your fuel tank. In the newer cars,
there's like the little petrol bowser picture and on some
of them will have the arrow that will point to
the side of your car that you fuel takes on.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
When I made that connection, I was so excited. Went
home to a husband's like, oh my gosh, did you
know this? And he's like, yeah, yeah, mate, I did.
I thought you did too.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Now, we thought this was a bit harsh and misty
because we thought there'd be a lot of people out
there who were hearing this for the first time. The
idea that when you look at your fuel gauge there's
a little arrow, yes, that shows what side.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Of the car the yeah, the pump sign, the pump sign.
That's it. And so we asked if anybody else hadn't
heard of this before? Have we just blown someone's mind?
Has anyone else in the country just found out? On
thirty one O six five, And that is Sam in Sydney.
You've just discovered this, Sam, tell us your emotional reaction
right now?
Speaker 8 (29:22):
Good day fellas. How are we on.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Top of the world?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Sam?
Speaker 8 (29:25):
What about you made excellent? Excellent? So while I was
driving and I was just listening to it, Yeah, shaking
my head, thinking, you know what this exactly happened to
me about two.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Hang on for a second, there, what happened to you
two weeks ago?
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Okay? So I was with my wife in the car
and we're cruising along the petrol The petrol gauge told
me I was empty. Pulled up in the service station
and I said to MyD th like, do you mind
getting out? I can't remember which side the fuel's on.
She goes, just look at the fuel gate. I said,
how they what he's on? She said there should be
a little arrow. I said what? And I looked and
(30:06):
it was really small, but I could just see it.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Hang on, Sam, Sam, I'm just gonna Sam, I'm just
gonna stop you. So you found this out two weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Correct? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Week or two? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Okay, I mean technically not exactly what we asked for. Generally,
we were saying, did you just find out like as.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
We said it when Missy said it, And Missy was
saying everyone knows, and we said, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
everyone might not know he's up. Missy, I reckon, there
could be some people hearing this for the first time.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I can understand how Sam might have heard us say
did you just fight out? And go I did just
fight out two weeks ago. Is it exactly what we wanted?
Speaker 4 (30:42):
No? No, But it's great to hear that it's happening
every day.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
I like that as well.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Service stations everywhere people are picking this up.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, that's it, that's it. And so anytime that you
aren't entirely sure if you understood what we're asking from
thirty one o six ife call anyway, we'll figure it out.
We'll have a good chat.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Issue is when we put Sam's call to air. Yep,
that's basically missed his call five minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
That's the problem. We already had that moment on the show.
And that's fine.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I can repeat moments every go at it.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
It's an on call. It's an on call, right, If
you missed it five minutes ago, you've had another go now. Now,
if our boss hears it, they might say, why did
you wear the same call five minutes after you air
it the first time?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
But we know they listened last night, and they're unlikely
to listen to two nights in a row, so we're
not really that worried about that.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Had a bit of a coffee barista mix up yesterday, Zach,
I was getting my latte with one sugar, my usual
coffee order, and.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
It's still on lattes.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
What do you mean still on lates? It's not a
graduation system.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yeah, where you were on cappuccinos and you moved to lattes.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Well, what's the next steps?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
And then what long? Blacks?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I don't think of It's not like you don't graduate
up serious you are? Oh, I don't agree with that
at all. And you think some people just get stuck
at a certain stage in coffee development.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You yeah, yeah, okay, exactly Now it seems like that's
happened to you.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
No, I'm happy with a latime.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I think down sugars as well, haven't you have?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
What were you three?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I was a two and I'm a late with one
now late for life these days. But I had the
awkward moment, you know, when you give the bristo your name,
and I mentioned before, I get my name mispronounced.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Often amazingly, because it's not a difficult name.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I get so my name is Dom for Dominic, I
get John, I get Don is the most common I get.
I reckon, I get Don as often as I get Don,
which is interesting.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Because Dom do M is a much more common name
than do O M. Don.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
But do you know a thirty year old Don.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
I've told you my theory on this. Everybody in Australia
has an uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yes, yes, but there's no thirty year old uncle Don.
I've got an Uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Everyone's got an uncle Don. Do you have an uncle an?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Uncle Don might be the same guy, we don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
It's one Don and he's everyone's uncle. I'm serious, I reckon.
This is like a golden theory can test out in Australia.
You meet someone, you go, how's Uncle Don doing? And
I guarantee you they'll go, He's doing pretty well. Actually,
Uncle Don's not bad. Everyone's got an uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
But but if you ever in trouble, you know, and
there's a family event kind of thing, and you're trying
to pass off that you're a part of the family, yes,
that's pretty specific. I don't know why you would ever
be in that situation, But just say uncle Don invited.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Because Uncle Don's normally a bit of a knock about guy.
He'll he'll bite you to stuff. So anyway, but I'm
not Uncle Don, I'm just Dom. And yet I do
get called Don often when I'm ordering a coffee. So
I'm getting my latte with one and the barista calls
out late for Don, and I go, oh, not again.
I'm so over this. So I sort of roll my
(33:53):
eyes a little bit and go up and take the coffee. So,
thanks so much, and just I'll just I'll just cop it.
Turn around, there's a guy in his seventies with a
large beard.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Well, he says to me, what the hell are you
doing with my coffee? And I go, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
He said, the hell, Yeah, that's aggressive.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
He's like, what the hell you doing my coffee? Kind
of jokingly, but what the hell you doing my coffee?
And I go, you must be done, and he said
anything you are, and I said not Don, gave the
coffee to him off, he wondered, and then if he
would have.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Thought you were stealing it, said, I'm surprised you didn't
explain the mix.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
I was startled, mate, this has never happened to me before.
I've just taken the coffee for Don so many times.
I might have been doing this for years. Maybe they've
never got my name wrong. Maybe Don's of Australia keep
wondering where their coffees are going. Maybe they keep saying,
why do they keep giving me Dom's coffee? Why do
they keep running Dom on my lip?
Speaker 4 (34:48):
What was Don's order?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (34:52):
What do you mean it's so similar? It's a little
bit different.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I meant we've got to check. Maybe it could have
been your uncle Don, my uncle Do, but it could
have been Okay, there's a third Don.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
This is second Tom.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
The village idiom. This is this segment where we take
a look at some phrases, some sayings that we use
every single day, and we know what they mean, but
we don't necessarily know where they came from. Why would
they come to be?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Why did we start using those sorts of phrases? What
was the original time in human history? Or it made
sense to people that then became a saying down the track?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Who was the original person to let a cat out
of the bag?
Speaker 3 (35:36):
That's exactly what we're talking about, right, So producer mad
He joined us with an idiom. That's what's what's today's idiom.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
Today we're gonna discuss to Butter someone up means to
praise or flatter someone excessively, Okay.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
But not just to praise or flatter them excessively, like
it's for a purpose. I would have thought you're buttering
someone up to maybe get them to go on a
date with you, give you a job, get a good
deal on something.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Throw one out there. Yeah, that I know is wrong. Okay,
it's just going to get the ball rolling.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Yeah, No, that's good.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
You butter someone up to go down a water slide faster. Okay,
I was thinking lose, But I know that it's not
that because they're usually ye oldie and I don't think
I don't think the peasants and medieval times were doing
too many water slides.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I think it is something, though. I think it's a
literal one. I think the.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Idea is where you're buttering up a human.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, buttering up. The moment you're buttering up a human,
they're moved through something more easily.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
No, okay, you know what I think it is? Yeah,
I think there was a time where it might have
been symbolic to butter someone else's bread for them, like
washing their feet kind of thing. Sure, do you know
what I mean? Okay, So I think if you it's like, oh,
you're buttering my bread? Are you?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Are you trying to? Like what do you get? What
do you get it at? Here?
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
You know you're buttering me up. You're trying to get
something out of me. Yeah, you're buttering my bread.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
I think it was putting butter on a human's body.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Now I'm trying too. Here's my ridiculous here's my theory.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Medieval times, they're trying to get someone through the fortress
at the front gate of the castle, right, and it's
a really tight like fit between the gates.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Siege.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It's like a siege, but it's like a sneaky siege,
and they're trying to sneak.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
All siege is sneaking.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Probably by nature true, but they're trying to they're trying
to sneak someone through the bars of the gate and
and it's Jim. But Jim won't fit through the bars
of the gate.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Do you want me to buy Yeah, And so they're
buttering Jim up.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
They've got like a big paddle, they're covering gym with
butter so he'll sneak through the gate. And then when
he sneaks through the gate, he's able to go and
kill the enemy, right, right.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
He doesn't just open the game and let everyone else.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
He probably does that as well, because it's hard to
fight a battle covered in But.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Wouldn't you cover the person in butter before they got
to the gate?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Possibly, but you wouldn't want the butter to melt in
the sun. Maybe you would.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
That's actually they're doing this in daylight as well.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
In my opinion, Yes, it's definitely not so produciating.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Can you tell us about buttering someone up here?
Speaker 6 (38:06):
I love that this one actually dates back to ancient India.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
It was customed to.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
Throw butterballs of ghe at the statues of the gods
to seek favor and forgiveness.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Never would have got that.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
I love some g though.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Great ingredient in a curry.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Isn't it just the best? Hey? Then, is that we
got time for on the show. If you want to
hear it back, you can always get the Zach and
On podcast or wherever you find your podcast and we'll

A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that disk
rolls Zach.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Have you ever like this?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Like strange, this this happened?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
When's seconds?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
This is Zack.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
And don here we go. I never know quite how
to start the podcast. Do you feel that, Zach? Sometimes
like yeah, that comes across. I'm just saying I feel
like all the great openings have been taken in.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
History, well until there's a new one.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well, okay, let's go through a birth one. So Robin
Williams obviously good Morning Vietnam doing Good Morning Vietnam. Right, really,
that's the only great opening to an audio medium. I
can think.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
He's taking it with that one.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
What do you what do you think? What do you
when you think of great openers, people starting a show,
radio show, podcast, great audio openers? Does anything else come
to mind for you?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I were your favorite growing up? Yeah? Both that favorite
growing up?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Aim, shit, Andy, it was actually was Andy ripping off Robert.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
He was the Good Afternoon. That was one hundred percent
of Good Morning Vietnam.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Reference.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I've never realized that until right now. I thought they'd
originally come up with their own thing way of doing things.
I think that was good morning Vietnam. There you go.
You do you remember the six months that you introduced
the show instead of me rememb what you ran.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
With when I anchored the show?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, what did I do?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
You did a hey how welcome to the show every day?
To have something Hey HOI welcome to the show every day?
Would you do that again?
Speaker 4 (01:42):
No, I think i'd leave that in What was that
twenty nineteen? Yeah, okay, I don't remember. Was that two
thousand and nineteen.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It would have been, yeah, yeah, Yeah, there was that
while where one radio boss we had said I know
how to take this show to the next level of me,
and they said, we'll flip the rolls and we'll get
Zach to talk first.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, there was a lot of you were off the
buttons for a while.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, it was I being phased out. I think I
was being phased out.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I think they were removing any excuse you had. I
don't even know what that means, but I mean it
was like, well, like, you know, let's see how he
goes off the buttons. Maybe it's the button instead of
stressing him.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I did used to get stressed a bit back in
the stressed a lot sometimes I listened back to the
old show.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
He's talking so fast.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I'm talking so fast. I don't get stressed anymore. Really
on this show?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Has that come across?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Calm a man these days? Bit more zen? Which is
a word I've gotten in trouble for using in you know,
audio mediums before. But I do feel a bit more.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Zen with your Buddhist agenda. That was a one boss
that accused him of having a Buddhist.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Agenda, secret Buddhist agenda because I use the word zen
on the radio once, which that was an old one.
But yeah, no, I don't know. I feel like I'm
calm enough to come up with my own opener. Can
I throw some at you? Good day to you all?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
What do you think that feels a little nineteen forties
news report?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, but that could be sort of the it's a hipster,
we're bringing.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
A back transor you could do it with a trans
Atlantique accent.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Good day to you all, like that sort of thing.
It's not fair, Okay, I can kicking it off with that.
I don't like starting to get show with an accent,
especially because what if there's been like a day of
heavy news and I'm doing an accent to kick off
the show.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I'd find that it's an esteemed accent.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It is an estemed accent. That's true, that's true. What
about Okay, this is not entirely me, but I'm going
to play with it anyway. Let's get this party started. No, no,
can producer Maddie laughing from outside.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I don't think that mic ever got a party started.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
These are meant to be sound through studios. And I
could hear producer Maddy laughing through the glass at me, saying,
let's get this parties and.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
The parties that you've started before.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I've started parties.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
I've started parties, started some party mixes, some party pies. No, look,
you've covered before how you spent most of the time
at childhood parties at the snack table.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, and I reckon what I approached it. I would
have said, let's get this starting part this party. I
can't even say the sentence. Okay, that's tricky. That's so
you're rulling out. Let's get the party started.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
What happened in the when you're at a kid's party
and they have the food table, if they had like
a packet of party mix, aren't opened. What would you
how would you approach that as the easiest question, you
wouldn't look for an adult thoughts on that or mission.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
No, it's there for the party party mix. What do
we at a party?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I mean mix it up.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
There might be certain contexts like I mean, Zach, you
know I've gone for the cake in the fridge. You
can't be surprised open the party mix.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
New story at Alex's sleepover where you got up in
the middle of the night and you're siphoning off cake.
I can even multiple trips.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, well I think that, yeah, that one the alexis
sleep every one. I more remember for the party bag
situation with his mum at one in the middle, So
you've I think it.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Was a different the cake a number of times.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I think there's but there. They all blend into one,
all the parties I went to as a kid.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, So, but you ate the cake before this song?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
And now you were a connoisseur of kids parties. See,
you would have known that you have to sing the
song first. That's one of the main things you learned.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I knew that that's how the rookies did it.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yeah, but you know you think they're not going to
send me home? What are they going to be?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Can I give you some I'm dead seriously, missus Stevenson,
what are you going to do? I'm going to give
you some really quick maths here, right, average party cake
for a party, we're looking at roughly sixteen slices, probably
at kid slices at a random guess. Right now, most
parties are starting to Yeah, I'm going to say that
they either had two cakes and different numbers. But if
(05:57):
they had just one cake, we're looking about ten to
twelve people. Now, it doesn't take a genius to realize
not everyone's getting seconds.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But we are listening to a cake genius.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Now, the party, the birthday, the birthday kid, the birthday boy,
the birthday God, they're going to get seconds. So there's
only now three or four slices of seconds cakes left.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
So your plan was while everyone's having their first.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yep, that's it.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
That's the big If you're get in early, because this
is it.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
If you wait, if you stand at the back and
you get handed your plate last, by the time you finished,
all the seconds are gone.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
We hang on, are you scoffing a piece while they're
played in them? Up, so they might have cut them
up and they're putting them on paper plates and they
you know, they're putting the sixteen out. What I'm getting
the impression is that you said that you ate a
slice before the song. I sometimes wouldn't they notice that
the cake was compromised while singing the song and possibly
(06:52):
in the photo that they take of the party. Yeah, child,
you know you're blobbing out the candles. They're like, why
is the god chump taken out of it?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, that's a good point, and I don't I must
have been I must have only attempted that when there
was a second cake.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
What like this talk of a second cake?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
If you had like forty kids at the party, one
cake doesn't cover forty, so you have a second cake.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
But they don't have a second cake on the table,
No another table. You went looking for a second cake.
Sometimes you're doing a headcam and you're thinking that cake's
not big enough. There must be a second cake.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Around here, the two cake.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm going to slip off and look through the kitchen.
Did you ever look through a kitchen?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I certainly would have looked through a kitchen.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, open a free.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Certainly would have. I don't remember doing it, but I
certainly would have.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I wouldn't put it past you.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
No, no, no, no, but again, man like this cake
on offer, Yeah, you've got to jump in. You got
to take the cake or you can get it. So
I would never. I'm quite sure I never took a
slice out of a cake.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
You know what they say, say you can't have your
cake and eat it too. You can if you're dumb,
fat you can eat it a number of times.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah. Look, we've got a bit of an insight there
into strategies for kids birthdays. I still don't think I
had my opening though. I still don't have the way
to start the podcast. So maybe people could send some
ideas through to Zachondom on Instagram. How do you want
me to kick off the podcast?
Speaker 4 (08:11):
And dom will give them.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
See how they feel on me. So and do it
right now, because obviously, you know we've got a great
podcast coming your way in the next half hour or
so here, so you're gonna probably forget about this bit
later on. So right now, get your phone out, go
to Instagram's aconom send a message of how I should
open the podcast, and I'll give it a go and
we'll see if anything fits and feels natural. For now, though,
let's get to work. To Zach and Dom podcast, What's.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
The pettiest thing You've ever done to an X? During
an interview on the Drew Barrymore show dom Over in
the US, Megan Fox has revealed that she's taken her
anger out on X's on more than one occasion.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Cannot believe this story.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Where's the worst thing You've ever done to an X?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
I'm not That's something I could sound TV.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I know. I just too.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
When I was young and I did have a temper
and I was wild. He had a freshly painted house
and I painted a Frederic Nietzsche quote all over his wall,
so he had to repaint his house afterwards.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
So she's painted a quote from the I guess kind
of existential nihilistic philosopher Nietzschure. And apparently she went on
to say it's an angry credit about how life is futile,
which I kind of want to give her points for originality.
I mean, that's it's rare you get existential sort of
philosophy graffiti on your house.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
It's a deep cut, it really is.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Normally it's like, well normally it's you know, a couple
of swear words off. Yeah, that's normally it. It's very
rare that the F stands for Frederick Nietzsche.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Well, also, you don't want to do that many letters
when you're angrily painting. Yeah, you probably only want to
do four or five letters, don't you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, because I would think generally, when you get the
paint brush out of the spray canand or whatever it is,
the first like the start of the graffiti, is fueled
the anger. By the time you're on like the second paragraph.
He sort of you dram a bit, a bit sorry,
thinking what am I doing here? Was this really how
I wanted to spend my Monday afternoon?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Wondering how often this happens? Probably a lot? Yeah, Yeah,
taking revenge on an X. You sometimes hear of it
with cars, you know, whether it's like egging them or
covering him in toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah, well thirty one oh six five, We want to
know the pettiest thing you've done to try to get
back at an X. Producer Maddie sort of confided in
us and we were chatting about this earlier, and she
said that, what would you say, Maddie early.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Describe yourself when you were younger, a bit of a psycho.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, that was your words for yourself. Tell us what
you did. What was the worst one you did to
get back at an X, Say, the.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Worst one was throwing all of my ex's furniture and
clothing out onto the front lawn and leaving it and
moving house.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Okay, so that would be a pretty common one, I reckon, I.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Think so, So are you like getting help to lift
like a couch up and get that out on the
lawn or are you just going you could get.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
It was like cheap ii keya furniture, so it was
like a desk and a chair and all like a
dresser Like they I just threw that. They smashed onto
the ground.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
It was great.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, that does seem like a scene from a rom
com almost as a sort of because that's the thing
is the other person feels like then imagine coming home
later and you're sort of apologizing to the neighbor saying, yeah,
I broke her heart, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Sorry everyone. The dangerous thing about that too, is like
that could go missing that because people could think that
you're giving it away. Yeah, there was a bit of
a controversy in my neighborhood over a similar situation. What
do you mean someone was going on the group page?
You got to bring back the desk. Yeah, I wasn't
giving it away. I was just storing it out there
for a few hours, right, bring it back.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Bring fate, wasn't council pickup? Yeah it's a good point. Actually,
there needs to be somewhere unify people. No, this isn't
for free. My ex is mad at me, that's what's
going on here.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Thirteen one oh six ' five. How did you get
back at an AX?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
What was the petty thing you did to try to
get back in the next or maybe the petty thing
somebody did to try to get back.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Maybe it wasn't even petty. Maybe it was granted.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, maybe they deserved it. Maybe they one hundred percent
deserved it. Thirty Monday six five What did you do
to try to keep back at an X?
Speaker 4 (12:09):
We have Jody and Melbourne? What did you do? Jody?
Speaker 7 (12:13):
How do you chaps? I'll look petoff to Megan. I
got got to give it to her. So the pettiest
thing I did probably was was maybe twenty one twenty
two when I broke up with my ex and it
was a bit annoyed. So I advertised his car on
a car sales website at a ridiculously low price and
just said he's going overseas low CA's full log book, history,
(12:38):
et cetera, et cetera, and that people could only make
inquiries be twenty hours of twelve thirty and one thirty
Monday to Friday, which was his lunch hour.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
This this is incredibly wealthy.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
That also quite it's annoying without like being criminal.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
That's you know what I mean? And did you ever
hear how many calls he got? Did you ever hear
an update?
Speaker 8 (13:03):
He?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Look, we've broken up on pretty amicable terms and we
used to prank each other quite a bit. And I
think it took him maybe two business days to work
out because he asked someone, why are you ringing now?
And they said, oh said And as soon as they
got that detail, he was like, yeah, I know who
this is. So he got in touch. He goes tued
off to you. That was that was fair play.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Well done.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
I like he got quite a few.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
That's pretty good. And you know what, it actually does
remind me. I remember a friend saying once, sometimes when
you've had a bad breakup, your inclination is to sort
of flood the x with messages, and they said, don't
do that. Instead sign them up via email and phone
for every possible service you can imagine.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Like I did with you. I keep signing you up
to the newsletter.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
No, you've done, you haven't something, you have to heat somethings,
just the Andrerio newsletter, and you keep unsubscribing. And there
are so many times or I'll just be like, I'll
wake up one morning, this is Andreel, the Austrian who
pension his Love'll wake up in the morning and I'll go, God,
damn it, how has he got me back on his list?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And I just public service announcement. They don't check for like,
you don't have to very no your email. You can
just put an email in. They'll start sending them newsletters.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, and suddenly you get flooded in your inbox every
year with what andre yels up to. Honestly, he's doing
a big gig inventors soon. I read that the other day.
Do you want to go?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I'll pass, okay, but we do love the pizza song,
don't we. You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
ALM.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
This is a national vibe check dom. If you're currently
in the car with more than one person, give us
a call thirteen one oh six five. We think by
asking you just one question, we can figure out whether
your dates or mates romantic or platonic.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
We're kicking it off with Rebecca and Sally in Sydney.
Question for you, Rebecca, what is Sally's fragrance of choice?
Speaker 7 (15:01):
Like the name of the fragrance? Yeah, yeah, I would say, maybe, right, Harry.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Is that right? Rebecca? That's right? Okay, what do you think?
I'm not sure either, because what you could do hypothetically
is just say whatever I say, agree to it.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Just a tricker but in saying that, I mean Sally
seemed to have a fair sense early on, Like if
I asked you my my fragrance, what's my fragrance of choice?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Links Africa?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
You're a traditional guy and it's nor is it sausage
by Bunnings Because we've had to stop wearing the sausage
scent sizzle scented coloone? We invented too powerful, we learned.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
They Okay to back you in, Yeah, I think they are.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
You guys are a couple, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
No, we're siblings.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Ah, there you go, well, that's you know, the fragrance, right,
because the fragrance you probably shared it in the childhood
growing up Jed in the house.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
What how young did you start wearing?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
You might do it in your teenage. Yes, that's not
unheard of.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
It were the same one.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Well, you take a while to get through a whole bottle.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
We have Pauline and Hugh in Melbourne. Pauline, my questions
for you. What's hugh favorite movie?
Speaker 5 (16:15):

What do you love so much about Grown Ups one
and two? Hugh?
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Just how immature they all are being all adults.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
I think it's quite funny.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
It's prornically not grown up prema. I think they're together.
I think they're romantic. That's pretty good from Pauline.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I think so too. You guys a couple? No, no,
we're not a what are you mother and son.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Ah, you know your son?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Well, I reckon, we could have picked that up with
the name Pauline possibly, what Well, have they meet too
many Paulines under forty?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Oh, territory?
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Have you met a Pauline under forty?
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Let me ever think about it? No, but I haven't
met many Pauline so my survey size isn't very broad.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, but all of them I've been over forty, haven't they.
That's all I'm getting at zero from too. We need
to bring it home here, I got one here. We've
got Jaden and Siena in Brisbane. Hey, Siana, what is
Jaden's average bedtime at night?
Speaker 5 (17:51):

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Well it has to be like well thirty is that?
Speaker 4 (17:57):

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Jaden?
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Right?

watching grown ups too?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
No? No, I play a bit of games.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Makes sense about it? Yeah, I reckon? Couple?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Well, because they know each other's been Yeah, I mean
you go unless your housemates maybe, but no, you guys
are a couple, aren't you.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Yeah, we're a couple. Okay, good, we're not one. Statistically
we should get at least one. It's a fifty to
fifty shot.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Well, not only did we get one, no Zach, but
we also have a good film recommendation for the weekend.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
But two.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Actually, this is second time.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I've got two young kids at home time. Unfortunately, both
sick at the moment. Three year old Peaches and a
nine month old baby Finch. Yeah, and that's rough. Yeah. One,
they both have variations of some type of virus.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And when did like you get the first warning sign that.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
You're in trouble over the weekend, and you hope that
it's just like, oh, maybe it's just off. Maybe they're
just a little bit hot, maybe it's not a fever,
but you know, becomes more regular, or maybe they just
got maybe they're crying, they've got something stuck in their eye. No,
no conjunctivitis.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But look, you've done well to stay so healthy.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
So far, so far, so good.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
But like a hunger Games, you sort of hold on
for dear life. I imagine in that scenario.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Well, the way it kind of works is my wife
and I we split, Okay, so she looks after the
baby as much as she can, and I'm looking after
the toddler as much as I can. So I was
looking after her last night after the show, you know,
because she has quite a disrupted sleep well while she's sick,
like a lot of us would.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Now, I want you to take a tally here of
how often and how much my sleeping arrangement changed overnight.
So I get home after the show last night, I
walked into our bedroom and my wife and the baby's
on the bed, and I didn't want to disrupt them.
Usually I would just go into bed, but I didn't
want to, like risk waking them up at all because
(19:55):
I didn't know what that night had been to that point.
So I was like, I'm just going to sleep on
the couch tonight, okay, just to really make sure that
you know, no one wakes up. So I start on
the couch.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
So that's step one of disrupted sleep. Already you're not
in your usual spot. That's step one.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I hear the baby wake up fifteen minutes later, so
I slept for fifteen minutes. The baby woke up, my
wife went to the toilet. I thought, well, here's a disruption.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I'll go into the bed, got a window an opportunity
to get to the actual bed you're there to sleep in.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
So the couch to the bed. I'm in the bed
for fifteen minutes again, So another fifteen minutes asleep. I
hear my toddler wake up. She's calling for me. She
wants to go sit on the couch and be kind
of like soothe.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
We're half an hour into your attempted sleep, and this
is the third disruption.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yep. So I go from the bed to the couch.
Now I fell asleep on the couch sitting up. I
don't remember a lot of those details, yep, but at
around four am I tried to get back into bed.
Now what we've done is we bought Peaches a big
bed for these types of situations. Also, I think she
(20:57):
just sleeps better in a big bed.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
So now I've got my wife and my baby in
our room. He ches is on the couch.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Just like a cludo.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
So the free bed now is her bed in her room? Okay,
sleep in that.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
So okay, that's the fourth fifth.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
So you you got.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
A bit of sleep lying on the couch, a bit
of sleep lying on the bed, a bit of sleep
sitting up on the couch. And now you're going to
your toddler's bed for another attempt at sleep.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
About half an hour into that, I hear her starry again.
She wanted some milk or to be comforted. So I
went back onto the couch. I resettled her. So I
went from the bed back to the couch. The go
at five am. It's light by now. Yeah, I'm like, okay,
I'm going to try to get some more sleep by
going back to the bed. So I went from the
couch back to her bed, to her bed.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I think I slept till seven, right, So what's that?
How many are we up to?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I think that was six or seven different sleeping arrangements.
And I think you've won house sleeping arrangement bingo, which
is what good news. I think you slept in every
different room in your house last night.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Thank you. Honestly did I slept on the couch yep,
the toddler's bed and my bed, and I guess I
didn't get into the cot. Yeah, that was the only
one I was missing.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
The Zack and Tom podcast, we're asking on one six five,
what did you think that you discovered that you were
the first person to stumble upon and We're asking this
because maybe one of our favorite moments in the history
of this show happened recently. We were we were talking
with Hannah in Melbourne and Hannah said this, I'll say
something ruck that you guys have probably never tried, because
(22:30):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Sell them in supermarket.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Would put of mulberry calls.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
We've heard of Mulberry's, Hannah, we have a.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
I thought I like discovered there.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I thought they discovered Mulberry's.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yes, because Mulberry treat too, and I've never seen them
anywhere else. I thought it was like my discovery.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
And I love what I love about that, Zach is
for a lot of time in human history that kind
of would have been how things worked totally. Someone would
have just gone, I wonder if you can eat this berry,
eating it, enjoyed it, survived and gone. Guys, I found
a berry.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
Well before the internet too, when you came across things. Yes,
you probably thought you were the first one for a
long time. Look, there's no way to find out that
you weren't.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I want to know if this has happened to anyone
else they didn't one O six y five. What did
you think that you discovered? I had this memory, Zach.
When I was in year nine or year ten, I
was like watching Channel seven late one night, and you
know they love to put on like a late night movie,
like back then at eleven o'clock midnight movie sometimes just
to get you through the night. I watched this film
that I'd never heard of before. It never entered my radar,
(23:41):
and I was loving it. I was watching it even
through the ads and whatever. You know, this film's great.
I'm going to tell my friends about this at school tomorrow.
Rock up at school and go, guys, I was watching
this film. Has anyone heard of Jurassic Park? There's like
these dinosaurs come back.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
You have to be a real cinephile to that one.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Well, my friends were honestly thought I was joking. Initially,
I was like, no, no, no, it was on Channel
seven last night. I thought I'd found some indie hit
that no one knew about. But now it turns out
a couple of other people had found Jurassic Park.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Did I do the same thing with Coldplay?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
What do you mean with gold Play?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Didn't you think that Coldplay were like an indie band
that no one knew about?
Speaker 3 (24:16):
No, I didn't know were an indie band. I just
heard Viva Levita on the radio and said, you guys
have to hear this band. They're really cool. I quite
like them. What did you think you discovered? Producer Maddie
was telling us that you had one based in nature.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Mads, Yeah, I thought I had discovered this set of
like really gorgeous rock pools up in Noosa and Queensland,
really beautiful place. Yeah, and I went back there with
some friends and it was filled with people.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Is this the Fairy Pools?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:48):
So when I went around nationally famous, ye, well fools
like they're even on the map and everything I thought
I discovered all over Instagram. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
But it's like Zach the time you we into Sydney
and discovered that beach out at BONDI remember that and
you're like, guys, did you guys know there's a beach
out of here, pretty decent spot. You're listening to the
Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Misty in Melbourne. Yours is car related? What is it?
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah? So I'm on your fuel tank. In the newer cars,
there's like the little petrol bowser picture and on some
of them will have the arrow that will point to
the side of your car that you fuel taking on.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
When I made that connection, I was so excited. Went
home to a husband's like, oh my gosh, did you
know this and he's like, yeah, yeah, high I did.
I thought you did too, And I was like, are
you serious. I'm like, well, you know what, it's still
new to me.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
That is pretty exciting that because what I think with
these situations is you still made that connection in a vacuum.
No one had to tell you. You still had to make
the connection.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah. Yeah, because I think that friends too, and they
were like, yeah, dude, that's been around for a while.
I'm like, we'll shut up. I've had older cars that.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Okay, it's been around for that long. People knowing about it.
See I reckon ten years.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I reckon Somewhere between five and ten years ago. There
was a big thing of like viral like land Bible
to post it. People are freaking out about this. I
mean now, I reckon it's a bit old.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Hat, missy. I heard people at the service session the
other day, Yeah, talking to each other about it.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
There we got two tradees, so you don't need to it.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I'd love to hear on thirteen one oh six five
if anybody has just discovered that, if you're driving around
and you had no idea that the arrow on the
fuel gauge points to the side that the fuel caps
on of your car, you didn't know that. Thirteen one
oh six far to make Misty feel better.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Hey Mia in Melbourne, what did you think that you discovered?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Ah, this wasn't me.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
This is someone I know of.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, this person they thought they discovered something called dunch.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Okay, no, Mia, Mia, Firstly, how dare you? Secondly, how
long have you been sitting on this? It was months
ago that I invented Dutch, the lunch dinner hybrid meal. Well,
how have you been sitting on your chance to call
up and have a dig at me about it?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Ever since you thought you came up with it?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
What you think is so good? Mia? We didn't even
remember that. We were trying to think of Hey did
we do we? Are there any examples in our lives
where we thought we invented something that we didn't dom
You ran a campaign for about three months earlier this
year to launch a new meal called Dutch, which was
halfway between lunch and dinner. Everyone told you it's already
been invented. We googled it. It was all over the internet.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
No, do you know what, I'm just going to take
people behind the scenes a little bit here.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I don't think you told that to produce a Mattie,
did you, Miya?
Speaker 3 (27:43):
No, that's pretty that's you told producer Mattie. You gave
producer about a false story about something you thought you
invented so you could get on the show and confront me.
Jerry Springer s live on air. That's what's just happened,
isn't it.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Yeah, remark well done, very well.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
But I'm still claiming Dudge despite what Mia might say
and what the haters might say. As I've said to
you before, the haters are going to hate and the
eaters are going to eat. And that's an old saying
of mine, and Dudge lives on.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
I don't know whether to trust you or not. Did
you invent that saying or not?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
This is second Tom Zach A moment ago on the show,
we were talking about things you thought you'd discovered, moments
in life. What you think I reckon. I've stumbled on
to something here that no one's ever heard of before.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
And we heard from Misty who said this about the
fuel gauge in her car.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, so I'm on your fuel tank. In the newer cars,
there's like the little petrol bowser picture and on some
of them will have the arrow that will point to
the side of your car that you fuel takes on.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
When I made that connection, I was so excited. Went
home to a husband's like, oh my gosh, did you
know this? And he's like, yeah, yeah, mate, I did.
I thought you did too.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Now, we thought this was a bit harsh and misty
because we thought there'd be a lot of people out
there who were hearing this for the first time. The
idea that when you look at your fuel gauge there's
a little arrow, yes, that shows what side.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Of the car the yeah, the pump sign, the pump sign.
That's it. And so we asked if anybody else hadn't
heard of this before? Have we just blown someone's mind?
Has anyone else in the country just found out? On
thirty one O six five, And that is Sam in Sydney.
You've just discovered this, Sam, tell us your emotional reaction
right now?
Speaker 8 (29:22):
Good day fellas. How are we on.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Top of the world?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Sam?
Speaker 8 (29:25):
What about you made excellent? Excellent? So while I was
driving and I was just listening to it, Yeah, shaking
my head, thinking, you know what this exactly happened to
me about two.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Hang on for a second, there, what happened to you
two weeks ago?
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Okay? So I was with my wife in the car
and we're cruising along the petrol The petrol gauge told
me I was empty. Pulled up in the service station
and I said to MyD th like, do you mind
getting out? I can't remember which side the fuel's on.
She goes, just look at the fuel gate. I said,
how they what he's on? She said there should be
a little arrow. I said what? And I looked and
(30:06):
it was really small, but I could just see it.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Hang on, Sam, Sam, I'm just gonna Sam, I'm just
gonna stop you. So you found this out two weeks ago?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Correct? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (30:15):
Week or two? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Okay, I mean technically not exactly what we asked for. Generally,
we were saying, did you just find out like as.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
We said it when Missy said it, And Missy was
saying everyone knows, and we said, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
everyone might not know he's up. Missy, I reckon, there
could be some people hearing this for the first time.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I can understand how Sam might have heard us say
did you just fight out? And go I did just
fight out two weeks ago. Is it exactly what we wanted?
Speaker 4 (30:42):
No? No, But it's great to hear that it's happening
every day.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
I like that as well.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Service stations everywhere people are picking this up.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, that's it, that's it. And so anytime that you
aren't entirely sure if you understood what we're asking from
thirty one o six ife call anyway, we'll figure it out.
We'll have a good chat.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Issue is when we put Sam's call to air. Yep,
that's basically missed his call five minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
That's the problem. We already had that moment on the show.
And that's fine.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
I can repeat moments every go at it.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
It's an on call. It's an on call, right, If
you missed it five minutes ago, you've had another go now. Now,
if our boss hears it, they might say, why did
you wear the same call five minutes after you air
it the first time?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
But we know they listened last night, and they're unlikely
to listen to two nights in a row, so we're
not really that worried about that.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Had a bit of a coffee barista mix up yesterday, Zach,
I was getting my latte with one sugar, my usual
coffee order, and.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
It's still on lattes.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
What do you mean still on lates? It's not a
graduation system.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yeah, where you were on cappuccinos and you moved to lattes.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Well, what's the next steps?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
And then what long? Blacks?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I don't think of It's not like you don't graduate
up serious you are? Oh, I don't agree with that
at all. And you think some people just get stuck
at a certain stage in coffee development.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
You yeah, yeah, okay, exactly Now it seems like that's
happened to you.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
No, I'm happy with a latime.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
I think down sugars as well, haven't you have?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (32:12):
What were you three?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I was a two and I'm a late with one
now late for life these days. But I had the
awkward moment, you know, when you give the bristo your name,
and I mentioned before, I get my name mispronounced.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Often amazingly, because it's not a difficult name.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I get so my name is Dom for Dominic, I
get John, I get Don is the most common I get.
I reckon, I get Don as often as I get Don,
which is interesting.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Because Dom do M is a much more common name
than do O M. Don.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
But do you know a thirty year old Don.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
I've told you my theory on this. Everybody in Australia
has an uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Yes, yes, but there's no thirty year old uncle Don.
I've got an Uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Everyone's got an uncle Don. Do you have an uncle an?
Speaker 4 (32:56):
Uncle Don might be the same guy, we don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
It's one Don and he's everyone's uncle. I'm serious, I reckon.
This is like a golden theory can test out in Australia.
You meet someone, you go, how's Uncle Don doing? And
I guarantee you they'll go, He's doing pretty well. Actually,
Uncle Don's not bad. Everyone's got an uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
But but if you ever in trouble, you know, and
there's a family event kind of thing, and you're trying
to pass off that you're a part of the family, yes,
that's pretty specific. I don't know why you would ever
be in that situation, But just say uncle Don invited.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Because Uncle Don's normally a bit of a knock about guy.
He'll he'll bite you to stuff. So anyway, but I'm
not Uncle Don, I'm just Dom. And yet I do
get called Don often when I'm ordering a coffee. So
I'm getting my latte with one and the barista calls
out late for Don, and I go, oh, not again.
I'm so over this. So I sort of roll my
(33:53):
eyes a little bit and go up and take the coffee. So,
thanks so much, and just I'll just I'll just cop it.
Turn around, there's a guy in his seventies with a
large beard.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
Well, he says to me, what the hell are you
doing with my coffee? And I go, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
He said, the hell, Yeah, that's aggressive.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
He's like, what the hell you doing my coffee? Kind
of jokingly, but what the hell you doing my coffee?
And I go, you must be done, and he said
anything you are, and I said not Don, gave the
coffee to him off, he wondered, and then if he
would have.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
Thought you were stealing it, said, I'm surprised you didn't
explain the mix.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
I was startled, mate, this has never happened to me before.
I've just taken the coffee for Don so many times.
I might have been doing this for years. Maybe they've
never got my name wrong. Maybe Don's of Australia keep
wondering where their coffees are going. Maybe they keep saying,
why do they keep giving me Dom's coffee? Why do
they keep running Dom on my lip?
Speaker 4 (34:48):
What was Don's order?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (34:52):
What do you mean it's so similar? It's a little
bit different.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I meant we've got to check. Maybe it could have
been your uncle Don, my uncle Do, but it could
have been Okay, there's a third Don.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
This is second Tom.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
The village idiom. This is this segment where we take
a look at some phrases, some sayings that we use
every single day, and we know what they mean, but
we don't necessarily know where they came from. Why would
they come to be?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Why did we start using those sorts of phrases? What
was the original time in human history? Or it made
sense to people that then became a saying down the track?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Who was the original person to let a cat out
of the bag?
Speaker 3 (35:36):
That's exactly what we're talking about, right, So producer mad
He joined us with an idiom. That's what's what's today's idiom.
Speaker 6 (35:43):
Today we're gonna discuss to Butter someone up means to
praise or flatter someone excessively, Okay.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
But not just to praise or flatter them excessively, like
it's for a purpose. I would have thought you're buttering
someone up to maybe get them to go on a
date with you, give you a job, get a good
deal on something.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Throw one out there. Yeah, that I know is wrong. Okay,
it's just going to get the ball rolling.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Yeah, No, that's good.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
You butter someone up to go down a water slide faster. Okay,
I was thinking lose, But I know that it's not
that because they're usually ye oldie and I don't think
I don't think the peasants and medieval times were doing
too many water slides.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
I think it is something, though. I think it's a
literal one. I think the.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Idea is where you're buttering up a human.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, buttering up. The moment you're buttering up a human,
they're moved through something more easily.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
No, okay, you know what I think it is? Yeah,
I think there was a time where it might have
been symbolic to butter someone else's bread for them, like
washing their feet kind of thing. Sure, do you know
what I mean? Okay, So I think if you it's like, oh,
you're buttering my bread? Are you?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Are you trying to? Like what do you get? What
do you get it at? Here?
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (36:54):
You know you're buttering me up. You're trying to get
something out of me. Yeah, you're buttering my bread.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
I think it was putting butter on a human's body.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Now I'm trying too. Here's my ridiculous here's my theory.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Medieval times, they're trying to get someone through the fortress
at the front gate of the castle, right, and it's
a really tight like fit between the gates.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Siege.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
It's like a siege, but it's like a sneaky siege,
and they're trying to sneak.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
All siege is sneaking.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Probably by nature true, but they're trying to they're trying
to sneak someone through the bars of the gate and
and it's Jim. But Jim won't fit through the bars
of the gate.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
Do you want me to buy Yeah, And so they're
buttering Jim up.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
They've got like a big paddle, they're covering gym with
butter so he'll sneak through the gate. And then when
he sneaks through the gate, he's able to go and
kill the enemy, right, right.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
He doesn't just open the game and let everyone else.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
He probably does that as well, because it's hard to
fight a battle covered in But.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Wouldn't you cover the person in butter before they got
to the gate?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Possibly, but you wouldn't want the butter to melt in
the sun. Maybe you would.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
That's actually they're doing this in daylight as well.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
In my opinion, Yes, it's definitely not so produciating.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Can you tell us about buttering someone up here?
Speaker 6 (38:06):
I love that this one actually dates back to ancient India.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
It was customed to.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
Throw butterballs of ghe at the statues of the gods
to seek favor and forgiveness.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Never would have got that.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
I love some g though.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Great ingredient in a curry.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Isn't it just the best? Hey? Then, is that we
