Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that busy
feature Rose Zach.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And have you ever like this like stage this happens
when's second d kids.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is Zak and Don.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
It's a really big week this week. I've just realized,
as we're here doing the show.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Again, what like that podcast has been or there's something
else going.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Sorry, I mean in my personal life was coming. Yeah, okay,
Well just I thought i'd share with you because you
know the other job I work at it, I mean
it's always the time to have a conversation between friends. Well,
I got that other job at the school and this
is the the big year twelve graduation week. Remember what
are your memories of graduation week at school?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I got in trouble for skateboarding through the school.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Was that your muck up day sort of thing?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
There was a lot that went on make up date.
That's why I got in trouble because they couldn't pin
it on anyone. Yeah, and I was kind of dawdling
a little bit, and I had my skateboard and I
decided to escaboard through the school. A little bit came
around a corner and vice principal today you get to
the Princal's office, went to the prince office. He tore
strips off me for forty minutes, and then he kind
of took a breath and he was like, you know,
(01:23):
you might be bearing the brunt of everyone's misbehavior today
because I'm like, man, well I did what skateboard through
the school? And I'm getting like I was threatened that
I wasn't gonna graduate.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Really, yeah, I appreciate that he had the self awareness
to say, sorry, mate, I'm taking this forty minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, there was another guy's well, I don't know what
he was in there for. We were kind of looking
at each other. We're like, this is a bit unfair.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Well, I know I've told you the wild scenes at
my high school. In the last week of year twelve.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That's right, a congo line broke out.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
There was an an impromptu you conger line from the
cable that went through the school and gosh, they were
mad this teachers formed a sort of a line to
cut it off. I don't think I've done with this
part of the story.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
But you hang on. So the congoline wasn't endorsed, No, No,
it was a rogue.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Got in trouble for it was everyone said period three,
when the when the clock hits eleven o'clock in period three,
you guys, we're all going to run out of the
classroom and do a congoline through the school. I didn't
do it. I was too scared.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
What I was thinking they were going to do. Don't
you think that's so funny thinking back on it now
with school, it's like, what are they going to do?
I mean, I guess they could kick you out or
they give you detention or something. But it's like if
everyone was running out, like what could they possibly do
to you?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I hope someone who works at a school that school
students don't realize what they're going on there. But there's
not much what Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So everyone runs out or a number of people run out,
but you.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I think probably about seventy percent of the grade run
Did you?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Because I know that you have a history of tattling,
of being an informert mate.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
You didn't need to do that. It was obvious who
was in it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
No, no, no, no, But I thought you might clue the
staff up beforehand. No, no, it didn't as a congo
line plan.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No, I didn't do that. I had a little bit
of character in that instance. But the congo line did
happen probably about probably about our class. My class went out,
how did it so.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Hang on? So not when a bell went off.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
It was a set time, yes, because the bell would
have had people moving around in lesson.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
That's less fun, you know, I understand that. But I'm
just trying to figure out. So they said like ten
forty five or something.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
So we had there were four different I guess you'd
call them like home groups, like classes in the grade.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I must have had a small school because I'm thinking
like at my school, the classes could have been six
hundred meters away from each other, like there's no way
that the congo line could link up.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
So there there was a it was in a pretty
close proximity, and every class had like the marshal. They
had the Congo line marshal who was allocated dedicated to
sort of get the thing going. And I remember the
Congo line would have been about seventy strong and they're
going through the school just doing Congolme thinks like for
a couple of wenths out of the site. Yeah, like
pensioners on a cruise. Yes, I'm watching it all from
(04:05):
the window going, oh man, look at them go. I
can't believe they're doing it. I think it's congol scene.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
They did some limbo after that. I won't have limbo
in my school.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And then anyway, the teachers didn't know because how do
you stop a congo line?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Like you?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Well, I think what they did, because you like, do
you take it? Do you take it from the front,
you go from the side, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Do you got to take the head off a congo lion?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, I've heard that. So they formed this line about
seven or eight teachers like a cross that sort of
would just like shuffle left and right right police, yeah,
anticipating the movements of the congo line. And eventually everyone
ran back to the classrooms.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
And who was leading it was that like how did
who picked or was it just whoever was at the front?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Who was at the front. I think I can't actually
remember the specific people involved. And that was part of
the strategy, was that that mayhem would mean no one.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Knewho was in all muck up dates stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Everyone run back to class and I don't think in
the end anyone got in trouble, but they I do
remember the principal angrily saying days like this make me
a shame to work in education.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And the Congo because of the Congo line.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, it was look, I know, I grew up school
of hard knocks. It was hard for me, Zach. I
really grew up on the rough side of the tracks.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Well, speaking of tracks, it wasn't our grade, but it
was actually the year before I came there, the year twelve.
Because we're on the train line. The year twelve's got
all the year eight's bags and.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Put them on the train did the other end of
the line.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And so they went to like, you know, an get
so that because we were the grade eights the next year,
everyone freaked out and it was kind of a little
bit like a conspiracy with how conspiracy goes around, because
people kind of went like, that's not going to happen.
But then you'd start to see one or two people
(05:56):
wearing their bags between class, not willing to put them
in the lockers, and then people kind of once one
person starts doing it, you go like, maybe I should
go get my bag. Yes to be picking up.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Anyway. I don't know if if you've got someone in
your life listening who is in the last week of school.
But there you go, conga lines and bags on trades.
There's the muck up ideas from us. Let's get to
work Zack and Tom podcast. Look, there's many different ways
people try to find love, Zach, and sometimes you've got
a wing person, a wingman, a wing woman trying to
(06:29):
help set you up. I have seen what I think
is the most ambitious and probably I can't imagine successful
attempt at wing womaning. Somebody. I come up on Facebook today.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You've passed a screenshot in front of me.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
This is what was this?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And it looks like it's in a local community Facebook
group or something.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It's in the local community group normally where you would
see posts about, you know, maybe work's going on, robot's happening,
or someone's running a garage stale or something like that
on Facebook. This person a name is Demi. She's popped
in here and posted this is a bit of a
bizarre post, but it's what an ultimate wing woman does.
Do you know any great guys that are sick of
online dating and would like to give a blind date
(07:09):
a crack. My gal palas have bravely accepted my offer.
Check out their criteria below. Let the dates begin, and
then she's sort of posted two graphics that she has
made for two different friends in her life, and they've
already been outed to this community group. I won't say
their names here, but it's kind of like a very
basic sort of Microsoft Paint dating profile for these two.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
One of them has a list of what they want
twenty four years to early thirties. Yep, emotionally mature, ambitious, sady, adventurous.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Twenty four years to early thirties, and emotionally mature. You're
asking a lot there. It's unlikely to come true on
both counts.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
No mention of what the girls are like in either post.
It's all about what they want. Interesting because really then
you're just making your decision on their photo.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah, which should we want that?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I don't know. I don't think we do.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Now I'm focused on one paragraph here. Yeah, from Demi's post. Sure,
do you know any great guys who are sick of
online dating and would like to give a blind data crack?
I know a guy who's sick of online dating haha,
who's twenty four to thirty years old. Would you say
you're emotionally mature, dumb, ambitious, social, sporty, adventurous.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Well sporty, I've lost that one.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Maybe you like sports.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I like sports, don't like playing them, like watching them.
They just look. That's true. You're saying you think this
has potential.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I think you should put your name for it. Why not,
You're already had in the ring. You're always banging on
about love being in bizarre places. They use bizarre in
their text.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well, I do think love finds us, we don't find
love them. And this did pop up in my Facebook feed.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
So the algorithm knows something.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
The algorithm has been done on it. Doubt but Zuckerberg,
I mean people, obviously, people turn to blind dating, to
online dating apps being set up by friends. All of
these are the common ways people maybe fall in love.
A post in the local community group with a blurb
on your single friends. That's a whole new way you're doing.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You're going to get weirdos. I think sure, I.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Think you probably will. I reckon, there's a fair chance.
Look third in one O six five, we want to
know did your wingman or your wing woman actually make
things worse? Because that's my gut feel and what's probably
happened here that Demi's gone in with good intentions, But
I think you'd feel a little bit embarrassed, wouldn't you
just having this this blur put out in your local
community group?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
She said she did it with their blessing. But I like,
you know, how much of kind of say did they
have in it?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
That's my question.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
They have veto powers. No, not that photo. No, don't
write that.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Well imagine if it's in your local community group. You
could just be down at your local woolies and then
you see, hey, that's the one who had their profile
posted in the group the other day.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Oh yeah. Or she could put these graphics up at
the locals on the noticeboard.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Why don't people do that? Third in one O six five,
we want to know did the wing woman or the
wing man actually make things harder for you? Are a
bit more awkward for you? Matter this happened to you recently?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Yeah, it wasn't recently, but it was a couple of
years ago. I was at a music festival with a
girlfriend and this guy came over and he said to her, like,
you're beautiful.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Can I get your number?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
And she said, oh, I'm in a relationship. Sorry, but
my friend Maddie here is available. Super single and she's gorgeous.
And I was so embarrassed, and he said, yeah, I'm
not that interested.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
To be honest, that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's outrageous, the description of super single. Yeah, that's probably
too much.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
And I think that's what I'm getting at. It's like you,
you're evoking desperation on their behalf right, your heart's in
the right place, You're trying to help them find love,
but you've just made their prospects worse.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It does remind me a little bit of primary school,
where you'd get your friend to ask out your date
for you. Yes, hey, Tom likes you? Do you like him?
Can I tell it?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah? Can I A should give that a go at thirty?
Just get you to tell someone I've going to crush
on them. Hey, look that in one A six ' five.
Did the wing woman or the wingmen make it worse
for you?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
We have Adam in Melbourne? What happened to you?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Adam?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Boys, About nine years ago, I was working in the
city and we went for after hours drink and one
of my friends met a girl. They went on a date.
He threw up a few red flags. I told him
not to go on a second date. She sounded a
little bit cautious. And now nine years later they're married
with three kids.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And did you make bring it up pretty often?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Adam brings up other things very often, but not about
my bad advice.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
But yeah, you'd feel pretty bad, wouldn't you in that instance.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Because don't bring that up on the wedding day.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Well, imagine if the mate had followed Adam's advice, he
would have destroyed his life.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
We never know, though, I guess, But that's why you
need don't know the opportunities lost.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
You don't want to go into confidently with those opinions,
just so you can stand back in future and go
I don't know, I was just guessing.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Anyway, In Brisbane, you tried to set your friend up
and it went badly. What was it?
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Yeah, so it didn't quite get to the date point.
We were kind of just dancing at a club, having
a girls night, having a good time on the dance floor,
and a couple of guys came and just joined our
little dance circle and everyone's having a good time. And
I looked at one of the blokes and said, you know,
my mate's single. You know, if you're interested. The two
(12:26):
of them locked dies and just faces dropped. It turns
out they were ex step brother and sister.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Oh no, Tory Tory, Tory Tory. Hang on a second.
You've tried to set your friend up and you've set
them up with someone who was at one stage their
step brother. Yes, that's not what you want. That's not ideal.
I mean, what's what are the rules with that?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Isn't it?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
X step So there's no relation.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Now, there's no relation. But I guess it depends did
you grow up with each other? Yeah, like if your
parents got together when you were twenty and divorced at
twenty two.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I guess it's probably a way.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
It's okay, I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Know, make some complicated family events.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Doesn't it a couple? Certainly a couple. Oh, this is okay,
this is amazing. I'm hearing we have got non zac
to Demi who put the post oh wow from the
community Okay, this is great. This is the person who
put the post up in the community group about her
two single friends trying to get interested. Demi joins us.
Now on thirteen one O six ' five. Demi, you've
(13:30):
just heard us saying that we think that this must
make it worse for your single friends. Tell us how
has it gone?
Speaker 9 (13:37):
I mean, it's a new experience for us.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
All.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
We were not really knowing how it was going to do,
but we didn't think it would be much worse than
their experience on Tinder. So we actually have got over
like hundreds of heps.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Wow, okay, so I've hundreds of guys reaching out saying
they're interested in your friends.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
Well, it was more my thoughts were that maybe like
sisters would message me being like, oh, I've got a
brother who's blah blah blah. So we've had a mix
of sis, sister in law's.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Anything any promising leads so far? Do you reckon?
Speaker 9 (14:16):
No, there's been a few. There's been ones with good
personalities or like good sense of humors about it all.
So okay, I do some biting. Make sure they're not
skip siblings or something.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Smart.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Hey, Demi domb over here.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
No, I'm just saying you're sick of online daty. Yeah,
you're willing to give something wilder crack.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
It does sound to me like Demi's been overwhelmed with
hundreds of applications.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I don't think what you don't think you can beat them?
Come on, mate, I think can Dom put his hat
in the room?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Demi?
Speaker 9 (14:48):
Come on, hey, I would love if you did.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You know, I don't think Look, I reckon, I reckon, Demi.
At the moment, it sounds like you're running your own
version of The Bachelorette or something like this with the
hundreds of contestants you've got, and I'm unfortunately, I think
I'll probably get eliminated in the first round. But in
saying that, I mean this could be good news for
the people of Australia. Are you saying that if you've
got single friends, clearly the successful thing to do is
(15:15):
go to your local community Facebook group and sort of
put a blow up about them and see what happens.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Yeah, but you've got to put safety safety in check or.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
You definitely need a vetting process. I think that's one
hundred percent right. Well, look, I mean I came on
saying this wasn't gonna work. This is going to make
things worse. Hundreds of hits. That's a stop looking at
me like that.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Well, on the original post, Demi has put an Instagram
on there and I have got producer Matti to cent
through a few photos. Come on, we'll see how you go,
we'll check back in. You're listening to the Zach and
Dom podcast.

legally only allowed to give out one shout out a week.
We enter the shout out court Room to see who's
most eligible.
Speaker 4 (16:20):

Speaker 4 (19:51):
And now we can take the wigs off now and
we'll depart the court room. This is second off.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Now, if you've ever wondered what the sceniors of Australia's
up to, you you are in luck. This all started
last week Don when we found out where the seniors
in lawn Ceston we're up to. We followed up I
think on Monday with what the seniors in Brisbane we're
up to. That's it.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Basically, this is a scope around the country, a wrap
around around the country to see what the senior citizens
of Australia are getting up to.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Tonight we're crossing to Melbourne Dom. Now. There was a
bit of debate on this one whether this counted as
senior citizen. You told me above fifty five because you
could buy interim news insurance.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I think there's something about seniors insurance and you can
get into some of those retirement villages at fifty five.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
This person is sixty. Does that, by your definition is
a senior it counts.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I'm sorry to the sixty year old listening right now.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I've heard is the new fifty.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I've heard sixty is the new thirty.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
That's it anyway, this is a sixty year old with
something that you probably wouldn't expect to come on like
this to be up to you. It's Warwick Kappa Doom.
Oh yes, AFL player. Do you know what his latest
venture is?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I feel like I did hear a story about this.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Let's see you can tell what's beeped out here?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Warick Kapper revealing he's now the owner of Westminster's Secrets
are based in Oakley.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah, I did hear about this?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
What's beeped out?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
He's running into brothel.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Warick Kapper revealing he's now the owner of Westminster's Secrets,
a brothel based in Oakley.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, Whiz a Brothelona Bossie rules, star of thirty or
forty years ago and now run brothels.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Well a brothel, but he is looking to expand, so
soon it might be brothel now.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
The last Whiz update I got and he was living
on the Gold Coast. He was in Surface Paradise. Does
this mean he's moved back to Victoria if he's working
at Oakley, so it sounds like.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Well, he has Whiz watch. He has a lot of
different jobs over the years. They actually went through some
of them. These are the things he has done before.
Brothelona Oka.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Brothelona is the latest career move for the colorful footy
figure on the Gold Coast. Kappa was a meter mate
and later ran unsuccessfully for mayor.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You don't really have to say unsuccessful, because I don't
think anyone goes like, oh was he mayor? I forgot
about that?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Don't you feel though, if you got off the plane
at cooling goat a airport on the Gold Coast and
saw a big picture of you know, Gold Coast mayor
Warwick Kappa. It kind of fit, certainly, it's a feel
gold Coasting surface paradise. I could imagine Kappa being the
mayor there.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
That wasn't his only dive into politics. Did you know this?
He did try another time to get into politics, but
there was a herd or that he just couldn't quite get.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Over staying politics was in his sights too before he
missed the registration deadline.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
The same thing nearly happened to Obama. He just got
it in in time, and if he would never have
been president.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And it's a real I mean political nerds say, it's
a real sort of sliding doors moment in Australian history.
Because some people were calling Kappa, they're calling him the
Obama was the Australian political lens.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Finally, what he's he has an idea with this brothels
on that. Yeah, I don't know the going on of
these types of establishments. Sure, I don't know if this
is a great idea.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Okay, Kappa says he'll be on site at the brothel
once or twice a month holding a barbecue for clients.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Is that something you want to go do? Robin shoulders
a clientele, just have it?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
A pretty basic hamburger, so rothel, Barbie. What do you
do on a day off? I don't know about that work.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I think they all know what they do on the
day off. One thing in common.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
The Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
We may have stumbled across something here. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
This is a philosophical theory about it. It emerged on
the show the other day. This was the moment Zach
where we had this this epip. I've told you my
theory on this. Everybody in Australia has an uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I've got an uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Everyone's got an uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Do you have an uncle?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Got an uncle? Don?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Might be the same guy? We don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I'm serious, I reckon this is like a golden theory
you 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.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Actually, here's what we want to know. In thirteen one
oh sixty five, do you have an uncle Dog? How
many uncle Don's are out there.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, this is it because we I mean, we've got
one hundred percent of the people we've surveyed here on
this show have an Uncle Don. I got an Uncle Don.
You've got an Uncle Don. That's that's a lot of Don's.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I'm even willing to go a bit further and say
that uncle Don's are characters. Oh yeah, is your uncle
Donna character?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
He's absolutely, he's a massive character, Uncle Don. Yeah, he's
larger than life. Yep, yep, that's Uncle Don everywhere. Like
it's the whole thing where the party doesn't get started
till Uncle Donna arrives family Christmas lunch.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Interesting, My uncle Don's not quite like that. Will wear
a loud shirt, yes, yep, okay, and like you used
to like fly in helicopters in like the sees and stuff.
I'll tell you this from me, quite adventurous, has lots
of stories.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
For my twenty first birthday, my uncle Don asked if
he could get me a scar diving voucher. That's Uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
That's very uncle isn't it.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
So?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Look that in one O six five do you have
an uncle called Don? Have you got an Uncle Don?
I mean it's One possibility is that you and I
actually possess one hundred percent of.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Australia's exhausted the uncle Don's.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
We might have all the Uncle Don's in this country
between the two of us. Imagine if that was the case.
Imagine if there's no more uncle Don's, only you and
I have known the joy of having an uncle Don.
That's one possibility. The other possibilities everyone's hearing this right
now thinking, of course I've got an Uncle Don. Everyone
has an Uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Like you wouldn't say, do you breathe? Are all right now?
I probably wouldn't call for that.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't. I mean if I heard that,
I think we're not gonna call everyone breathes there.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
So either this is gonna go two ways. We're gonna
find out up next that Don and Uncle Don's are
rife in Australia, every family, everywhere there's an Uncle don infestation.
Or you're gonna have to hang up the theory.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I'm gonna have to hang up the theory. So this
is a social experiment, and like every social experiment Australia,
we need participants. Thirteen one oh six ' five. Have
you got an uncle Don, we'd love to hear from.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You, or are you an uncle Don? He got excited
about that.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Imagine if we could talk to an uncle Don, that'd
be pretty thrilling good.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
We're currently asking a very simple question. It's a bit
of a social experiment, and it is this on thirteen
one oh six ' five. Do you have an uncle Don?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
We stumbled upon this last night because we both have
uncle Don's and we thought, is this the great Australian uncle?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Now?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Is this yes?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Is this the everyone's got an ancle?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Is it the most common uncle name? Yep, that would be.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
We're putting it to the test. We might have to
retire the theory straight away.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Might have to step on and look in further. I mean,
as we sat here in the song, Zach and I
were throwing other uncle names around.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
We're going back and forth like go fish, you've got
to rob. You got a Ben?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
No, no, Ben, you got a new We both said
it on Ian as another Well.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I have a cousin Ian. Yeah, but he's an uncle
to someone that's true, Well, it's not my uncle.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
We're sticking with our theory about uncle Don's for now
thirteen one O six five. Have you got an uncle Don?
Let's do a quick wrap around Australia's act.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Bruce in Brisbane, tell me your uncle's name.
Speaker 14 (27:40):
Yeah, Uncle Don on the mother's on the mother's side, Yeah, yeah, wonderful. Oh,
I believe I live in Brisbane now he lives he
lives in Harvey Bay. Yeah, but I used to live
in Wales and he used to live in mountains.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Okay, there you go. A backstory on the Don as well.
I thought, by the way said on my mother's side.
I thought he was about to say, yea, and I
have one on my father's side as well. A double dog.
Does anyone have a double dive? If you have a
double Don?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
If you get a right, oh my gosh, if you
thirty one or six tipe, if you got a Don
on both sides?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Melissa in Brisbane, do you have an uncle Don?
Speaker 12 (28:26):
I don't have an uncle Don. My dad and uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Okay, so there's an uncle Don in the family.
Speaker 12 (28:32):
Yes, well, his uncle's family.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But my brother is named Don, his son is named Don,
and my cousin's name is Don.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Oh my, oh my gosh, there is like a quadruple Don.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
And they're all uncles in their own way. I mean
because your dad was probably an uncle.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
That's it swimming in Don's you.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Well, if you've got a nephew, then your brother would
be an uncle as well.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Don's all around surrounded by Don's from all angles.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Robert in Sydney, Do you have an uncle Don? And
you do?
Speaker 14 (28:56):
Boys?
Speaker 15 (28:56):
Oh god, I got a down more family on both sorts.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
My brother in law.
Speaker 12 (29:03):
My brother in law, he's got an uncle Don as well.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
There we go. So you've got a Don on mom's
side and then on Dad's side.
Speaker 15 (29:11):
At brother was Dawn as well.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
So that's the dream, isn't it to just to rock
up on Christmas lunch at either side of the family
and there's an uncle Don at that one.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
In Sydney tell us about your done.
Speaker 12 (29:26):
Hi, Yes, I have an uncle Don. He's on my
dad's side.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
One for the dad's side. That's the next part of
the report. Yeah, is it more common on mom's side
of Dad's side?
Speaker 4 (29:40):
I agree?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Ash is in Sydney.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Hey, Ash, what's your favorite uncle's name?
Speaker 13 (29:46):
By Dom?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
There's another one. I think that's that's fine. Well, one
hundred percent of respondents are saying, yes, I have an
uncle Don. We asked you have an uncle Don?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Well, I think who was it before? Melissa said she
didn't have an uncle Don. But there's uncle Don's in
the family.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
She could confirm an uncle Don. It just wasn't hers.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, so I think that counts.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
I think that counts. We got Pam in Brisbane on
thirteen one o six five. Hey, Pam, you got an
uncle Don?
Speaker 9 (30:15):
Pam by guys, sorry the grid store.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Just come on for what that's all right, that's a
busy night, hey, he was, Yeah, what about uncle Don's
You got one?
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Yes, I do on my dad's side.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Oh, Dad's Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
We're getting a pattern here, I mean, probably enough of
telling us which side.
Speaker 13 (30:40):
I just like.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
We're falling into a little bit of a pattern there
we were because people will be hearing it, and then
I think, oh, they want us to tell us, Yeah,
they want me to tell us which side?
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Tell us about Don.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
He just tells about Don.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Aj in Melbourne you got an uncle Don a j.
Speaker 15 (30:56):
Yeah, Uncle Don. That was part of our LUNs growing up.
And I think you can my mom.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
As in how did that work? Aja? It was like
his brother's wife.
Speaker 15 (31:09):
Well, it's just a bit awkward. And you know when
you have uncles in your life but they're not really
your uncle.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Okay, yeah, do you have any of those?
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah, I've got one of them. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
So it's like maybe everyone needs a serto Uncle Don. Yeah,
maybe we need to find the Uncle Don who can
be the Uncle Don for every Australian who doesn't have
an uncle Don, you know what I mean. And I
don't know what their role is. They can pop into
Christmas lunches or whatever. But if we can find the
Uncle Don for all the Uncle Don loss Australians.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I reckon, that's whynn.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Just going through the numbers, I think we have seven
or eight Uncle don can confirmations.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
There they're out there. What city was most? I heard
a lot of Brisbanes.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
I had a few Brisbanes. I heard a lot of Sydney's.
I reckon, there's a lot of Uncle Don's in Sydney.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Look out your window right now. You could be driving
next to an Uncle Donn and you don't even know it.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Well, I mean, I think that's science. Can we get
a grant from the government for this?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I think we can probably to be honest with some
of the studies that you see come out. This could
be one of them.
Speaker 13 (32:07):
Why not.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
This is second time Suck and you are checked in
with what Gym's up too lately.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Oh, yes, I have Jim's going Yeah, this has been
going around a little bit.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
You've seen his latest venture. Yes, yeah, Jim's Beauty talking
about doing like nails and what else eyebrows maybe in
the waxing now yeah, I think basically they're marketing themselves
as well. They can get you ready on your wedding day,
gym will come around.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
And your eyebrows the same day.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
It's hard to tell if they're using the whipper snipper
for the you know, for for a haircut, but they
should be. I would like to see Jim diversify with
the products. But it did. It led me to do
a deep dive this particular situation into into the gym's franchises.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Well.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
People often say that he's up to a lot of things,
but I've never actually seen the list.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
I've seen the list. I've had a look at the list.
Now I want to introduce to your brand new game,
and the game is called this is Jim doing It.
That's going to work. I'm going to read out to
you three potential things Jim could be up to, and
I want you to tell me which of these three
is Jim actually doing.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Okay, so he's he's doing one of this, he's doing
one of the three. Interesting.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
There we go, see if you can figure it out.
The first one I've got for you is Jim's hazardous
material removal.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah, okay, call him around, get rid of the asbestos
in the roof.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I think, And in this instance, if Jimmy's removing hazardous material,
I would think crime scene cleanup in that ballpark, I believe. Yeah, possibly,
it's an interesting one. Secondly, Jim's test and tag. You
know that one.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Jim's tests and tags. So I guess like that's electronic devices.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Just rocks around, does a test, does a tag? I
mean it sounds boring, but isn't one I've made up?
I don't know is the one Jim's jumping castles. Is
Jim hiring at jumping castles for birthday parties? Now, well,
one of those is something Jim's up to.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
One of them he's actually doing two He's not. I
think test and tag just getting into your mind a
little bit here, I think you would put one in
there that sounds believable, and I think that one's the
one that you've put in there. I think hazardous waste
also feels yeah, no, no, that one. I think I'm
(34:33):
tossing up between the hazardous materials and the test and
tag because I don't think Jim's doing jumping castles. I
think that you got excited with a JJ.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
If you are just joining the show, we're asking what
is Jim from, Jim's bowing up to tag, Jim's hazard
as material removal, or Jim's jumping castles.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Now, I think if you're doing tests and tag, that
wouldn't be interesting enough for you to bring up. So
I'm going to say that he's doing the waste removal.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
You're correct, but he's actually doing all three.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
He's doing the jumping castles.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Jumping castles is a legitimate business. So if you're ever
after a new I mean, look, here's the great thing, right,
Maybe you need your lawn done, your makeup done, and
a jumping castle on the same day.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You can do your wedding from start to finish. He's
probably doing wedding planning.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
The Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
There was a video come out today tom So called
expose a into Christmas bon Bonds. They were apparently, you know,
disappointed at the deluxe bon bonds and what you get
inside of them, And personally, I don't see this as
new news.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
No moment this came up, I think producer mad He
said to us, have you seen the bonbond story? And
both you and I went, oh, don't get us started. Now.
This is the story that for some reason the Australian
media is too scared to cover. And I don't get it.
I don't know why, but bonbonds have been declining quicker
than anything in our culture. So do you agree with that?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Because that's what I've been thinking the last couple of Christmases.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yep, I'm thinking is it?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I think it's the bond bons we had as kids.
I'm getting like a piece of paper. I know, have
you got cards recently? When they're like they're literally tiny
paper cards? I'm like, what am I meant to do
with this?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
What a waste of everything? Am I going to play
a game of five hundred with some ants? It's a
good a good band at Christmas lunch Johnny Lisa When
I said that one but but what am I meant
to do with this? What I'm meant to do with it?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Sometimes there's a bit of an off cut of plastic yep,
and there's a discussion around the table. What's this for?
What do you think this is? What's this put in
there by mistake?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Or what about the spinning tops that don't spin? You're
one of those ones and.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
They're questionably metal?
Speaker 4 (36:43):
What is this made out of?
Speaker 3 (36:44):
It kind of makes a tinging sound when I drop it,
but it feels like plastic.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
So there's three options, right, Option one is that we're misremembering.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yeah, that's what That's usually what I say when people
go things were better in the past. I often say
this about shrink flame Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like, no,
when you're a kid, things just seem to bigger things big. Yeah. No,
but I'm wondering. I think bon bonds were better.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
So that's theory one. Theory two is maybe both of
our parents were splashing out on the ritzy bon.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Bonds and then times have got tough recently.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Yeah, cost of living. What's the first thing to go
the bon bond? Probably? I mean it would makes sense
if anyone out there is, you know, not being able
to put food on the table, but says we're not
touching the bond po we refuse to compromise on the
bon bons. I mean, you've got to draw a line
somewhere in cost of living, don't you?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
And I will wear that paper crab and I'll be proud.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
We may not be able to make the rent, we
might not have a home, but geez, we're going to
have bon bons. But the third option, well, I think
the third option is we're right. I think the third
option is that there are two incredibly alarming graphs in
the world right now.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
I'd like to see a graph YEP.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
One is climate change and the annual increasingly hotter years.
And the other, and it's similarly stark, is the off
in bon bon the linked?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Is that what you're suggesting, Well, they're both.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
I think they're both linked to the future of humanity. Yeah,
well because climate change, they say this, climate change is
how we live. Bond bonds are why we live. They're important,
they're linked.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
What I'm suggesting is if we can reverse the bon bons,
do we reverse there? Yes, the ice cap.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Probably I don't know that, but probably what if they
put that in bond bones? What if they put like
scientific solutions to climate change in bond bonds, that all I'm.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Not very jovial Christmas Christmas launch popping a bonbon open
and let me put it being like, here's a tip,
why drive when you can walk?
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Not a bad idea that I want to throw you one.
Then I mean, let's put your money where your mouth is.
What do you want to see in bon bons Christmas
twenty twenty three? That isn't that isn't currently or recently.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
There something that's actually useful?
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Yep? Like what give me something? Because I mean if
you're spending, if you're spending like ten bucks or a
box of six bond bonds, you might be touching here
on the problem with bond bonds. Maybe they're hard to
think of what you putting in them. But what do
you want?
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Apple watch?
Speaker 4 (39:10):
No, No, you're a genius.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, it's a lucky de Yeah you hide something.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Oh man, it's the golden ticket. It's like a scratchy
one in every two hundred bon bonds sold has an
Apple watching it?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (39:23):
Or cash or cash or one thousand dollars cash.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Because at Christmas lunch, you crack open a bon bond
and you know how there's a little bit of a
fight over the crown. Imagine the fights with your family
over a thousand dollars cold hard cash.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
That is that I got time for on the show.
If you want to hear it back, you can get
the zach end on podcasts wherever you get your podcasts

Speaker 3 (39:51):

A long time ago in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that busy
feature Rose Zach.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And have you ever like this like stage this happens
when's second d kids.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is Zak and Don.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
It's a really big week this week. I've just realized,
as we're here doing the show.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Again, what like that podcast has been or there's something
else going.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Sorry, I mean in my personal life was coming. Yeah, okay,
Well just I thought i'd share with you because you
know the other job I work at it, I mean
it's always the time to have a conversation between friends. Well,
I got that other job at the school and this
is the the big year twelve graduation week. Remember what
are your memories of graduation week at school?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I got in trouble for skateboarding through the school.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Was that your muck up day sort of thing?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
There was a lot that went on make up date.
That's why I got in trouble because they couldn't pin
it on anyone. Yeah, and I was kind of dawdling
a little bit, and I had my skateboard and I
decided to escaboard through the school. A little bit came
around a corner and vice principal today you get to
the Princal's office, went to the prince office. He tore
strips off me for forty minutes, and then he kind
of took a breath and he was like, you know,
(01:23):
you might be bearing the brunt of everyone's misbehavior today
because I'm like, man, well I did what skateboard through
the school? And I'm getting like I was threatened that
I wasn't gonna graduate.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Really, yeah, I appreciate that he had the self awareness
to say, sorry, mate, I'm taking this forty minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, there was another guy's well, I don't know what
he was in there for. We were kind of looking
at each other. We're like, this is a bit unfair.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Well, I know I've told you the wild scenes at
my high school. In the last week of year twelve.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That's right, a congo line broke out.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
There was an an impromptu you conger line from the
cable that went through the school and gosh, they were
mad this teachers formed a sort of a line to
cut it off. I don't think I've done with this
part of the story.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
But you hang on. So the congoline wasn't endorsed, No, No,
it was a rogue.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Got in trouble for it was everyone said period three,
when the when the clock hits eleven o'clock in period three,
you guys, we're all going to run out of the
classroom and do a congoline through the school. I didn't
do it. I was too scared.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
What I was thinking they were going to do. Don't
you think that's so funny thinking back on it now
with school, it's like, what are they going to do?
I mean, I guess they could kick you out or
they give you detention or something. But it's like if
everyone was running out, like what could they possibly do
to you?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I hope someone who works at a school that school
students don't realize what they're going on there. But there's
not much what Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So everyone runs out or a number of people run out,
but you.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I think probably about seventy percent of the grade run
Did you?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Because I know that you have a history of tattling,
of being an informert mate.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
You didn't need to do that. It was obvious who
was in it.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
No, no, no, no, But I thought you might clue the
staff up beforehand. No, no, it didn't as a congo
line plan.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No, I didn't do that. I had a little bit
of character in that instance. But the congo line did
happen probably about probably about our class. My class went out,
how did it so.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Hang on? So not when a bell went off.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
It was a set time, yes, because the bell would
have had people moving around in lesson.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
That's less fun, you know, I understand that. But I'm
just trying to figure out. So they said like ten
forty five or something.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
So we had there were four different I guess you'd
call them like home groups, like classes in the grade.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I must have had a small school because I'm thinking
like at my school, the classes could have been six
hundred meters away from each other, like there's no way
that the congo line could link up.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
So there there was a it was in a pretty
close proximity, and every class had like the marshal. They
had the Congo line marshal who was allocated dedicated to
sort of get the thing going. And I remember the
Congo line would have been about seventy strong and they're
going through the school just doing Congolme thinks like for
a couple of wenths out of the site. Yeah, like
pensioners on a cruise. Yes, I'm watching it all from
(04:05):
the window going, oh man, look at them go. I
can't believe they're doing it. I think it's congol scene.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
They did some limbo after that. I won't have limbo
in my school.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
And then anyway, the teachers didn't know because how do
you stop a congo line?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Like you?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Well, I think what they did, because you like, do
you take it? Do you take it from the front,
you go from the side, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Do you got to take the head off a congo lion?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Yeah, I've heard that. So they formed this line about
seven or eight teachers like a cross that sort of
would just like shuffle left and right right police, yeah,
anticipating the movements of the congo line. And eventually everyone
ran back to the classrooms.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
And who was leading it was that like how did
who picked or was it just whoever was at the front?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Who was at the front. I think I can't actually
remember the specific people involved. And that was part of
the strategy, was that that mayhem would mean no one.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Knewho was in all muck up dates stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Everyone run back to class and I don't think in
the end anyone got in trouble, but they I do
remember the principal angrily saying days like this make me
a shame to work in education.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And the Congo because of the Congo line.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yeah, it was look, I know, I grew up school
of hard knocks. It was hard for me, Zach. I
really grew up on the rough side of the tracks.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Well, speaking of tracks, it wasn't our grade, but it
was actually the year before I came there, the year twelve.
Because we're on the train line. The year twelve's got
all the year eight's bags and.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Put them on the train did the other end of
the line.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And so they went to like, you know, an get
so that because we were the grade eights the next year,
everyone freaked out and it was kind of a little
bit like a conspiracy with how conspiracy goes around, because
people kind of went like, that's not going to happen.
But then you'd start to see one or two people
(05:56):
wearing their bags between class, not willing to put them
in the lockers, and then people kind of once one
person starts doing it, you go like, maybe I should
go get my bag. Yes to be picking up.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Anyway. I don't know if if you've got someone in
your life listening who is in the last week of school.
But there you go, conga lines and bags on trades.
There's the muck up ideas from us. Let's get to
work Zack and Tom podcast. Look, there's many different ways
people try to find love, Zach, and sometimes you've got
a wing person, a wingman, a wing woman trying to
(06:29):
help set you up. I have seen what I think
is the most ambitious and probably I can't imagine successful
attempt at wing womaning. Somebody. I come up on Facebook today.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You've passed a screenshot in front of me.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
This is what was this?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And it looks like it's in a local community Facebook
group or something.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
It's in the local community group normally where you would
see posts about, you know, maybe work's going on, robot's happening,
or someone's running a garage stale or something like that
on Facebook. This person a name is Demi. She's popped
in here and posted this is a bit of a
bizarre post, but it's what an ultimate wing woman does.
Do you know any great guys that are sick of
online dating and would like to give a blind date
(07:09):
a crack. My gal palas have bravely accepted my offer.
Check out their criteria below. Let the dates begin, and
then she's sort of posted two graphics that she has
made for two different friends in her life, and they've
already been outed to this community group. I won't say
their names here, but it's kind of like a very
basic sort of Microsoft Paint dating profile for these two.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
One of them has a list of what they want
twenty four years to early thirties. Yep, emotionally mature, ambitious, sady, adventurous.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Twenty four years to early thirties, and emotionally mature. You're
asking a lot there. It's unlikely to come true on
both counts.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
No mention of what the girls are like in either post.
It's all about what they want. Interesting because really then
you're just making your decision on their photo.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Yeah, which should we want that?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I don't know. I don't think we do.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Now I'm focused on one paragraph here. Yeah, from Demi's post. Sure,
do you know any great guys who are sick of
online dating and would like to give a blind data crack?
I know a guy who's sick of online dating haha,
who's twenty four to thirty years old. Would you say
you're emotionally mature, dumb, ambitious, social, sporty, adventurous.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Well sporty, I've lost that one.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Maybe you like sports.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
I like sports, don't like playing them, like watching them.
They just look. That's true. You're saying you think this
has potential.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I think you should put your name for it. Why not,
You're already had in the ring. You're always banging on
about love being in bizarre places. They use bizarre in
their text.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well, I do think love finds us, we don't find
love them. And this did pop up in my Facebook feed.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
So the algorithm knows something.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
The algorithm has been done on it. Doubt but Zuckerberg,
I mean people, obviously, people turn to blind dating, to
online dating apps being set up by friends. All of
these are the common ways people maybe fall in love.
A post in the local community group with a blurb
on your single friends. That's a whole new way you're doing.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You're going to get weirdos. I think sure, I.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Think you probably will. I reckon, there's a fair chance.
Look third in one O six five, we want to
know did your wingman or your wing woman actually make
things worse? Because that's my gut feel and what's probably
happened here that Demi's gone in with good intentions, But
I think you'd feel a little bit embarrassed, wouldn't you
just having this this blur put out in your local
community group?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
She said she did it with their blessing. But I like,
you know, how much of kind of say did they
have in it?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
That's my question.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
They have veto powers. No, not that photo. No, don't
write that.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Well imagine if it's in your local community group. You
could just be down at your local woolies and then
you see, hey, that's the one who had their profile
posted in the group the other day.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Oh yeah. Or she could put these graphics up at
the locals on the noticeboard.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Why don't people do that? Third in one O six five,
we want to know did the wing woman or the
wing man actually make things harder for you? Are a
bit more awkward for you? Matter this happened to you recently?
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Yeah, it wasn't recently, but it was a couple of
years ago. I was at a music festival with a
girlfriend and this guy came over and he said to her, like,
you're beautiful.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Can I get your number?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
And she said, oh, I'm in a relationship. Sorry, but
my friend Maddie here is available. Super single and she's gorgeous.
And I was so embarrassed, and he said, yeah, I'm
not that interested.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
To be honest, that's it.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's outrageous, the description of super single. Yeah, that's probably
too much.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
And I think that's what I'm getting at. It's like you,
you're evoking desperation on their behalf right, your heart's in
the right place, You're trying to help them find love,
but you've just made their prospects worse.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It does remind me a little bit of primary school,
where you'd get your friend to ask out your date
for you. Yes, hey, Tom likes you? Do you like him?
Can I tell it?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Yeah? Can I A should give that a go at thirty?
Just get you to tell someone I've going to crush
on them. Hey, look that in one A six ' five.
Did the wing woman or the wingmen make it worse
for you?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
We have Adam in Melbourne? What happened to you?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Adam?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Boys, About nine years ago, I was working in the
city and we went for after hours drink and one
of my friends met a girl. They went on a date.
He threw up a few red flags. I told him
not to go on a second date. She sounded a
little bit cautious. And now nine years later they're married
with three kids.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And did you make bring it up pretty often?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Adam brings up other things very often, but not about
my bad advice.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
But yeah, you'd feel pretty bad, wouldn't you in that instance.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Because don't bring that up on the wedding day.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Well, imagine if the mate had followed Adam's advice, he
would have destroyed his life.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
We never know, though, I guess, But that's why you
need don't know the opportunities lost.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
You don't want to go into confidently with those opinions,
just so you can stand back in future and go
I don't know, I was just guessing.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Anyway, In Brisbane, you tried to set your friend up
and it went badly. What was it?
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Yeah, so it didn't quite get to the date point.
We were kind of just dancing at a club, having
a girls night, having a good time on the dance floor,
and a couple of guys came and just joined our
little dance circle and everyone's having a good time. And
I looked at one of the blokes and said, you know,
my mate's single. You know, if you're interested. The two
(12:26):
of them locked dies and just faces dropped. It turns
out they were ex step brother and sister.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Oh no, Tory Tory, Tory Tory. Hang on a second.
You've tried to set your friend up and you've set
them up with someone who was at one stage their
step brother. Yes, that's not what you want. That's not ideal.
I mean, what's what are the rules with that?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Isn't it?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Well?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
X step So there's no relation.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Now, there's no relation. But I guess it depends did
you grow up with each other? Yeah, like if your
parents got together when you were twenty and divorced at
twenty two.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah, I guess it's probably a way.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
It's okay, I don't.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Know, make some complicated family events.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Doesn't it a couple? Certainly a couple. Oh, this is okay,
this is amazing. I'm hearing we have got non zac
to Demi who put the post oh wow from the
community Okay, this is great. This is the person who
put the post up in the community group about her
two single friends trying to get interested. Demi joins us.
Now on thirteen one O six ' five. Demi, you've
(13:30):
just heard us saying that we think that this must
make it worse for your single friends. Tell us how
has it gone?
Speaker 9 (13:37):
I mean, it's a new experience for us.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
All.
Speaker 9 (13:40):
We were not really knowing how it was going to do,
but we didn't think it would be much worse than
their experience on Tinder. So we actually have got over
like hundreds of heps.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Wow, okay, so I've hundreds of guys reaching out saying
they're interested in your friends.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
Well, it was more my thoughts were that maybe like
sisters would message me being like, oh, I've got a
brother who's blah blah blah. So we've had a mix
of sis, sister in law's.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Anything any promising leads so far? Do you reckon?
Speaker 9 (14:16):
No, there's been a few. There's been ones with good
personalities or like good sense of humors about it all.
So okay, I do some biting. Make sure they're not
skip siblings or something.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Smart.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Hey, Demi domb over here.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
No, I'm just saying you're sick of online daty. Yeah,
you're willing to give something wilder crack.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
It does sound to me like Demi's been overwhelmed with
hundreds of applications.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
I don't think what you don't think you can beat them?
Come on, mate, I think can Dom put his hat
in the room?
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Demi?
Speaker 9 (14:48):
Come on, hey, I would love if you did.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You know, I don't think Look, I reckon, I reckon, Demi.
At the moment, it sounds like you're running your own
version of The Bachelorette or something like this with the
hundreds of contestants you've got, and I'm unfortunately, I think
I'll probably get eliminated in the first round. But in
saying that, I mean this could be good news for
the people of Australia. Are you saying that if you've
got single friends, clearly the successful thing to do is
(15:15):
go to your local community Facebook group and sort of
put a blow up about them and see what happens.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
Yeah, but you've got to put safety safety in check or.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
You definitely need a vetting process. I think that's one
hundred percent right. Well, look, I mean I came on
saying this wasn't gonna work. This is going to make
things worse. Hundreds of hits. That's a stop looking at
me like that.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Well, on the original post, Demi has put an Instagram
on there and I have got producer Matti to cent
through a few photos. Come on, we'll see how you go,
we'll check back in. You're listening to the Zach and
Dom podcast.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Do you have any of their credit card details? I
got it all, Michael, Well don't you all right? Well,

Congratulations Isaac, thank you so much.
Speaker 13 (19:49):
Thanks guys, very happy to help.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And now we can take the wigs off now and
we'll depart the court room. This is second off.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Now, if you've ever wondered what the sceniors of Australia's
up to, you you are in luck. This all started
last week Don when we found out where the seniors
in lawn Ceston we're up to. We followed up I
think on Monday with what the seniors in Brisbane we're
up to. That's it.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Basically, this is a scope around the country, a wrap
around around the country to see what the senior citizens
of Australia are getting up to.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Tonight we're crossing to Melbourne Dom. Now. There was a
bit of debate on this one whether this counted as
senior citizen. You told me above fifty five because you
could buy interim news insurance.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I think there's something about seniors insurance and you can
get into some of those retirement villages at fifty five.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
This person is sixty. Does that, by your definition is
a senior it counts.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I'm sorry to the sixty year old listening right now.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
I've heard is the new fifty.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I've heard sixty is the new thirty.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
That's it anyway, this is a sixty year old with
something that you probably wouldn't expect to come on like
this to be up to you. It's Warwick Kappa Doom.
Oh yes, AFL player. Do you know what his latest
venture is?
Speaker 4 (20:58):
I feel like I did hear a story about this.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Let's see you can tell what's beeped out here?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Warick Kapper revealing he's now the owner of Westminster's Secrets
are based in Oakley.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah, I did hear about this?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
What's beeped out?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
He's running into brothel.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Warick Kapper revealing he's now the owner of Westminster's Secrets,
a brothel based in Oakley.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Yeah, Whiz a Brothelona Bossie rules, star of thirty or
forty years ago and now run brothels.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Well a brothel, but he is looking to expand, so
soon it might be brothel now.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
The last Whiz update I got and he was living
on the Gold Coast. He was in Surface Paradise. Does
this mean he's moved back to Victoria if he's working
at Oakley, so it sounds like.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Well, he has Whiz watch. He has a lot of
different jobs over the years. They actually went through some
of them. These are the things he has done before.
Brothelona Oka.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Brothelona is the latest career move for the colorful footy
figure on the Gold Coast. Kappa was a meter mate
and later ran unsuccessfully for mayor.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You don't really have to say unsuccessful, because I don't
think anyone goes like, oh was he mayor? I forgot
about that?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Don't you feel though, if you got off the plane
at cooling goat a airport on the Gold Coast and
saw a big picture of you know, Gold Coast mayor
Warwick Kappa. It kind of fit, certainly, it's a feel
gold Coasting surface paradise. I could imagine Kappa being the
mayor there.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
That wasn't his only dive into politics. Did you know this?
He did try another time to get into politics, but
there was a herd or that he just couldn't quite get.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Over staying politics was in his sights too before he
missed the registration deadline.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
The same thing nearly happened to Obama. He just got
it in in time, and if he would never have
been president.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
And it's a real I mean political nerds say, it's
a real sort of sliding doors moment in Australian history.
Because some people were calling Kappa, they're calling him the
Obama was the Australian political lens.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Finally, what he's he has an idea with this brothels
on that. Yeah, I don't know the going on of
these types of establishments. Sure, I don't know if this
is a great idea.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
Okay, Kappa says he'll be on site at the brothel
once or twice a month holding a barbecue for clients.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Is that something you want to go do? Robin shoulders
a clientele, just have it?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
A pretty basic hamburger, so rothel, Barbie. What do you
do on a day off? I don't know about that work.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
I think they all know what they do on the
day off. One thing in common.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
The Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
We may have stumbled across something here. I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
This is a philosophical theory about it. It emerged on
the show the other day. This was the moment Zach
where we had this this epip. I've told you my
theory on this. Everybody in Australia has an uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I've got an uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Everyone's got an uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Do you have an uncle?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Got an uncle? Don?
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Might be the same guy? We don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I'm serious, I reckon this is like a golden theory
you 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.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Actually, here's what we want to know. In thirteen one
oh sixty five, do you have an uncle Dog? How
many uncle Don's are out there.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, this is it because we I mean, we've got
one hundred percent of the people we've surveyed here on
this show have an Uncle Don. I got an Uncle Don.
You've got an Uncle Don. That's that's a lot of Don's.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
I'm even willing to go a bit further and say
that uncle Don's are characters. Oh yeah, is your uncle
Donna character?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
He's absolutely, he's a massive character, Uncle Don. Yeah, he's
larger than life. Yep, yep, that's Uncle Don everywhere. Like
it's the whole thing where the party doesn't get started
till Uncle Donna arrives family Christmas lunch.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Interesting, My uncle Don's not quite like that. Will wear
a loud shirt, yes, yep, okay, and like you used
to like fly in helicopters in like the sees and stuff.
I'll tell you this from me, quite adventurous, has lots
of stories.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
For my twenty first birthday, my uncle Don asked if
he could get me a scar diving voucher. That's Uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
That's very uncle isn't it.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
So?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Look that in one O six five do you have
an uncle called Don? Have you got an Uncle Don?
I mean it's One possibility is that you and I
actually possess one hundred percent of.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Australia's exhausted the uncle Don's.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
We might have all the Uncle Don's in this country
between the two of us. Imagine if that was the case.
Imagine if there's no more uncle Don's, only you and
I have known the joy of having an uncle Don.
That's one possibility. The other possibilities everyone's hearing this right
now thinking, of course I've got an Uncle Don. Everyone
has an Uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Like you wouldn't say, do you breathe? Are all right now?
I probably wouldn't call for that.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't. I mean if I heard that,
I think we're not gonna call everyone breathes there.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
So either this is gonna go two ways. We're gonna
find out up next that Don and Uncle Don's are
rife in Australia, every family, everywhere there's an Uncle don infestation.
Or you're gonna have to hang up the theory.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I'm gonna have to hang up the theory. So this
is a social experiment, and like every social experiment Australia,
we need participants. Thirteen one oh six ' five. Have
you got an uncle Don, we'd love to hear from.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You, or are you an uncle Don? He got excited
about that.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Imagine if we could talk to an uncle Don, that'd
be pretty thrilling good.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
We're currently asking a very simple question. It's a bit
of a social experiment, and it is this on thirteen
one oh six ' five. Do you have an uncle Don?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
We stumbled upon this last night because we both have
uncle Don's and we thought, is this the great Australian uncle?
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Now?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Is this yes?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Is this the everyone's got an ancle?
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Is it the most common uncle name? Yep, that would be.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
We don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
We're putting it to the test. We might have to
retire the theory straight away.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Might have to step on and look in further. I mean,
as we sat here in the song, Zach and I
were throwing other uncle names around.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
We're going back and forth like go fish, you've got
to rob. You got a Ben?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
No, no, Ben, you got a new We both said
it on Ian as another Well.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
I have a cousin Ian. Yeah, but he's an uncle
to someone that's true, Well, it's not my uncle.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
We're sticking with our theory about uncle Don's for now
thirteen one O six five. Have you got an uncle Don?
Let's do a quick wrap around Australia's act.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Bruce in Brisbane, tell me your uncle's name.
Speaker 14 (27:40):
Yeah, Uncle Don on the mother's on the mother's side, Yeah, yeah, wonderful. Oh,
I believe I live in Brisbane now he lives he
lives in Harvey Bay. Yeah, but I used to live
in Wales and he used to live in mountains.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Okay, there you go. A backstory on the Don as well.
I thought, by the way said on my mother's side.
I thought he was about to say, yea, and I
have one on my father's side as well. A double dog.
Does anyone have a double dive? If you have a
double Don?
Speaker 4 (28:10):
If you get a right, oh my gosh, if you
thirty one or six tipe, if you got a Don
on both sides?
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Melissa in Brisbane, do you have an uncle Don?
Speaker 12 (28:26):
I don't have an uncle Don. My dad and uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Okay, so there's an uncle Don in the family.
Speaker 12 (28:32):
Yes, well, his uncle's family.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But my brother is named Don, his son is named Don,
and my cousin's name is Don.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Oh my, oh my gosh, there is like a quadruple Don.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
And they're all uncles in their own way. I mean
because your dad was probably an uncle.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
That's it swimming in Don's you.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Well, if you've got a nephew, then your brother would
be an uncle as well.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Don's all around surrounded by Don's from all angles.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Robert in Sydney, Do you have an uncle Don? And
you do?
Speaker 14 (28:56):
Boys?
Speaker 15 (28:56):
Oh god, I got a down more family on both sorts.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
My brother in law.
Speaker 12 (29:03):
My brother in law, he's got an uncle Don as well.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
There we go. So you've got a Don on mom's
side and then on Dad's side.
Speaker 15 (29:11):
At brother was Dawn as well.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
So that's the dream, isn't it to just to rock
up on Christmas lunch at either side of the family
and there's an uncle Don at that one.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
In Sydney tell us about your done.
Speaker 12 (29:26):
Hi, Yes, I have an uncle Don. He's on my
dad's side.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
One for the dad's side. That's the next part of
the report. Yeah, is it more common on mom's side
of Dad's side?
Speaker 4 (29:40):
I agree?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Ash is in Sydney.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Hey, Ash, what's your favorite uncle's name?
Speaker 13 (29:46):
By Dom?
Speaker 4 (29:49):
There's another one. I think that's that's fine. Well, one
hundred percent of respondents are saying, yes, I have an
uncle Don. We asked you have an uncle Don?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Well, I think who was it before? Melissa said she
didn't have an uncle Don. But there's uncle Don's in
the family.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
She could confirm an uncle Don. It just wasn't hers.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, so I think that counts.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
I think that counts. We got Pam in Brisbane on
thirteen one o six five. Hey, Pam, you got an
uncle Don?
Speaker 9 (30:15):
Pam by guys, sorry the grid store.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Just come on for what that's all right, that's a
busy night, hey, he was, Yeah, what about uncle Don's
You got one?
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Yes, I do on my dad's side.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Oh, Dad's Okay.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
We're getting a pattern here, I mean, probably enough of
telling us which side.
Speaker 13 (30:40):
I just like.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
We're falling into a little bit of a pattern there
we were because people will be hearing it, and then
I think, oh, they want us to tell us, Yeah,
they want me to tell us which side?
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Tell us about Don.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
He just tells about Don.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Aj in Melbourne you got an uncle Don a j.
Speaker 15 (30:56):
Yeah, Uncle Don. That was part of our LUNs growing up.
And I think you can my mom.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
As in how did that work? Aja? It was like
his brother's wife.
Speaker 15 (31:09):
Well, it's just a bit awkward. And you know when
you have uncles in your life but they're not really
your uncle.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Okay, yeah, do you have any of those?
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Yeah, I've got one of them. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
So it's like maybe everyone needs a serto Uncle Don. Yeah,
maybe we need to find the Uncle Don who can
be the Uncle Don for every Australian who doesn't have
an uncle Don, you know what I mean. And I
don't know what their role is. They can pop into
Christmas lunches or whatever. But if we can find the
Uncle Don for all the Uncle Don loss Australians.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
I reckon, that's whynn.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Just going through the numbers, I think we have seven
or eight Uncle don can confirmations.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
There they're out there. What city was most? I heard
a lot of Brisbanes.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
I had a few Brisbanes. I heard a lot of Sydney's.
I reckon, there's a lot of Uncle Don's in Sydney.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Look out your window right now. You could be driving
next to an Uncle Donn and you don't even know it.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Well, I mean, I think that's science. Can we get
a grant from the government for this?
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I think we can probably to be honest with some
of the studies that you see come out. This could
be one of them.
Speaker 13 (32:07):
Why not.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
This is second time Suck and you are checked in
with what Gym's up too lately.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Oh, yes, I have Jim's going Yeah, this has been
going around a little bit.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
You've seen his latest venture. Yes, yeah, Jim's Beauty talking
about doing like nails and what else eyebrows maybe in
the waxing now yeah, I think basically they're marketing themselves
as well. They can get you ready on your wedding day,
gym will come around.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
And your eyebrows the same day.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
It's hard to tell if they're using the whipper snipper
for the you know, for for a haircut, but they
should be. I would like to see Jim diversify with
the products. But it did. It led me to do
a deep dive this particular situation into into the gym's franchises.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
Well.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
People often say that he's up to a lot of things,
but I've never actually seen the list.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
I've seen the list. I've had a look at the list.
Now I want to introduce to your brand new game,
and the game is called this is Jim doing It.
That's going to work. I'm going to read out to
you three potential things Jim could be up to, and
I want you to tell me which of these three
is Jim actually doing.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Okay, so he's he's doing one of this, he's doing
one of the three. Interesting.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
There we go, see if you can figure it out.
The first one I've got for you is Jim's hazardous
material removal.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah, okay, call him around, get rid of the asbestos
in the roof.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I think, And in this instance, if Jimmy's removing hazardous material,
I would think crime scene cleanup in that ballpark, I believe. Yeah, possibly,
it's an interesting one. Secondly, Jim's test and tag. You
know that one.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Jim's tests and tags. So I guess like that's electronic devices.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Just rocks around, does a test, does a tag? I
mean it sounds boring, but isn't one I've made up?
I don't know is the one Jim's jumping castles. Is
Jim hiring at jumping castles for birthday parties? Now, well,
one of those is something Jim's up to.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
One of them he's actually doing two He's not. I
think test and tag just getting into your mind a
little bit here, I think you would put one in
there that sounds believable, and I think that one's the
one that you've put in there. I think hazardous waste
also feels yeah, no, no, that one. I think I'm
(34:33):
tossing up between the hazardous materials and the test and
tag because I don't think Jim's doing jumping castles. I
think that you got excited with a JJ.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
If you are just joining the show, we're asking what
is Jim from, Jim's bowing up to tag, Jim's hazard
as material removal, or Jim's jumping castles.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Now, I think if you're doing tests and tag, that
wouldn't be interesting enough for you to bring up. So
I'm going to say that he's doing the waste removal.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
You're correct, but he's actually doing all three.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
He's doing the jumping castles.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Jumping castles is a legitimate business. So if you're ever
after a new I mean, look, here's the great thing, right,
Maybe you need your lawn done, your makeup done, and
a jumping castle on the same day.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You can do your wedding from start to finish. He's
probably doing wedding planning.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
The Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
There was a video come out today tom So called
expose a into Christmas bon Bonds. They were apparently, you know,
disappointed at the deluxe bon bonds and what you get
inside of them, And personally, I don't see this as
new news.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
No moment this came up, I think producer mad He
said to us, have you seen the bonbond story? And
both you and I went, oh, don't get us started. Now.
This is the story that for some reason the Australian
media is too scared to cover. And I don't get it.
I don't know why, but bonbonds have been declining quicker
than anything in our culture. So do you agree with that?
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Because that's what I've been thinking the last couple of Christmases.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Yep, I'm thinking is it?
Speaker 3 (36:00):
I think it's the bond bons we had as kids.
I'm getting like a piece of paper. I know, have
you got cards recently? When they're like they're literally tiny
paper cards? I'm like, what am I meant to do
with this?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
What a waste of everything? Am I going to play
a game of five hundred with some ants? It's a
good a good band at Christmas lunch Johnny Lisa When
I said that one but but what am I meant
to do with this? What I'm meant to do with it?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Sometimes there's a bit of an off cut of plastic yep,
and there's a discussion around the table. What's this for?
What do you think this is? What's this put in
there by mistake?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Or what about the spinning tops that don't spin? You're
one of those ones and.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
They're questionably metal?
Speaker 4 (36:43):
What is this made out of?
Speaker 3 (36:44):
It kind of makes a tinging sound when I drop it,
but it feels like plastic.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
So there's three options, right, Option one is that we're misremembering.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Yeah, that's what That's usually what I say when people
go things were better in the past. I often say
this about shrink flame Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like, no,
when you're a kid, things just seem to bigger things big. Yeah. No,
but I'm wondering. I think bon bonds were better.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
So that's theory one. Theory two is maybe both of
our parents were splashing out on the ritzy bon.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Bonds and then times have got tough recently.
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Yeah, cost of living. What's the first thing to go
the bon bond? Probably? I mean it would makes sense
if anyone out there is, you know, not being able
to put food on the table, but says we're not
touching the bond po we refuse to compromise on the
bon bons. I mean, you've got to draw a line
somewhere in cost of living, don't you?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
And I will wear that paper crab and I'll be proud.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
We may not be able to make the rent, we
might not have a home, but geez, we're going to
have bon bons. But the third option, well, I think
the third option is we're right. I think the third
option is that there are two incredibly alarming graphs in
the world right now.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
I'd like to see a graph YEP.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
One is climate change and the annual increasingly hotter years.
And the other, and it's similarly stark, is the off
in bon bon the linked?
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Is that what you're suggesting, Well, they're both.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
I think they're both linked to the future of humanity. Yeah,
well because climate change, they say this, climate change is
how we live. Bond bonds are why we live. They're important,
they're linked.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
What I'm suggesting is if we can reverse the bon bons,
do we reverse there? Yes, the ice cap.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Probably I don't know that, but probably what if they
put that in bond bones? What if they put like
scientific solutions to climate change in bond bonds, that all I'm.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Not very jovial Christmas Christmas launch popping a bonbon open
and let me put it being like, here's a tip,
why drive when you can walk?
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Not a bad idea that I want to throw you one.
Then I mean, let's put your money where your mouth is.
What do you want to see in bon bons Christmas
twenty twenty three? That isn't that isn't currently or recently.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
There something that's actually useful?
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Yep? Like what give me something? Because I mean if
you're spending, if you're spending like ten bucks or a
box of six bond bonds, you might be touching here
on the problem with bond bonds. Maybe they're hard to
think of what you putting in them. But what do
you want?
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Apple watch?
Speaker 4 (39:10):
No, No, you're a genius.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, it's a lucky de Yeah you hide something.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Oh man, it's the golden ticket. It's like a scratchy
one in every two hundred bon bonds sold has an
Apple watching it?
Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah?
