Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Out of that dizzy feature Rose.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Zach and.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Have you ever like this?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Like s change?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
This happened? When's second kiss?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is Zac and Don.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, it's been a bit of a bumpy week, but
we are here.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yes, we're here, We are back. It was I who
was away the last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
In a rough patch.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It has been a rough patch. This is what's this?
What's today?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Wednesday?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
This is like day ten of sickness in my family.
Everyone got COVID and hit my baby the heart. It's unfortunately,
very sadly, been really hard. House finished and today he
was much better, so I'm hoping that today was the
last day. But yeah, we did have to go to
hospital twice because he, you know, had some respiratory issues.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So that's if you've been wondering why there hasn't been
a podcast in your feed the last couple of days,
that's been why you've been sort of holding down the
fort and just trying to get through this incredibly difficult time,
and amazingly, somehow you've stayed healthy.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
That's the weird thing. So finch Own ten months old,
he tested positive, but Peaches the three year old and
Sarah they were really sick as well, like really some
type of virus, but they both tested multiple times negative.
And then Finch was the only one to test positive.
(01:44):
But then I didn't get anything. So I'm like, it
was there two different viruses in the house and then
I didn't get either one or with somehow they weren't
testing positive and they were faulty tests.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You get the years bizarre.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I don't know, you know, I did a rap before
I came in clean.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh clear, there is some sort of superhuman thing. I
don't know how you stayed immune from all.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
This, but because I figured because I only had COVID
like three or four months ago, but we all did,
so why are they None of it adds up, None
of it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It would be like in a dystopian film. At the beginning,
you'd be the scientist going, this doesn't make sense. Yeah,
something's missing in the chain here. But anyway, the.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Good news is as well, how does it work on
the do you know?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Do I know? I mean, I'm so touched, But you can.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Be like can you be immune to a certain strain?
And I don't know, I don't know anybody picked it
up somewhere. No, I might have heard it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
There is bizarre things about some people get antibodies for
longer than others, and some antibodies are stronger, and that's possible.
It is so. But they said this back at the
start of COVID. Remember that, like some people would walk
within ten meters of someone who had it and they'd
catch it, and other people would live with someone with
COVID and not get it. So it's a bit mysterious. Yes, well,
(03:01):
we're here now, and we're here, we're back. Yeah, so
should we just get into the show then let's get
to work.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Zack and Tom podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
The Americans are freaking out about Robert Irwin. He's put
up a TikTok about something he's found in your shoe.
It's a giant spider.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Terrifying, classic Australian dilemma, this one.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
All the Americans are like, so, what's going on? Do
you have to check your shoes every time you put
your feet in them in Australia?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yes, pretty much. That's exactly how it, Especially if you
leave your shoes outside or you know, in a garage.
A lot of people take the shoes up in the
garage or something like that and have like a shoe
rack in the garage. Spiders think beautiful accommodation.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You know, I've got a lot of critters on my balcony.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, you basically live in the jungle.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It's just suburbia. But I do seem to get a
lot of snakes. Yeah, there's two possums who live on
the balcony roof. And so when I walk out my
front door, I do check top left, top, right, bottom, left,
bottom right, check the shoes. Yeah, I have like you
know how people pat down their pockets. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
just see like he's wallet. I do that with creatures.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, you are a bit like this though generally, particularly
with spiders, I mean with all animals. Really you're an
animal lover and you kind of live and let live,
like you've told me that. You know, there are huntsmens
in your house.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Of course this husband in your house as well.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, but if you see them, if I see them,
they're going outside. And by going outside, I mean the
more team I mean they're going outside. Yeah, to another
realm oras in your world, if there's a huntsman, it's like, hey,
join the party.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
The more the merriya kill them.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Not you just live alongside them.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, yeah, thirteen one oh six five. Where was the spider?
Is the funny that we're doing. Robert Irwins found one
in your shoe? The Americans are freaking out, Where did
you find a spider? The other day, I was driving
dumb Did I tell you this? I don't think so,
and like a web came down and stopped dang in
the middle of my face.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Wait, so between you and the windscreen? Yeah, kind of
like mission impossible, hovering.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Down and it was a spider and I flicked it,
freaking out. Had to apologize later. Yeah, but it was
just a reflex apologize to the spider. Yeah, flicked it.
It stuck to the windscreen and then scuttled away.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What's interesting, I wonder what sort of spider that was?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Didn't check it was dark.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Also, I prefer the webs, the spiders that have webs.
It's the huntsmens, the lone rangers.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
They're the ones that get me. Have the one in
the hole than no thanks.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Because I feel like if there's a web, I can
trust them a bit more. Firstly, I respect them more
because they're craftier.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Artisans. They really are putting some effort into their craft.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And it's a bit like going to see like a
pink concert or something. There's some acrobatics, you know, you
see it sort of drop down and move around and
all of that. And the webs can be quite beautiful.
It's the ones that don't have any any hint that
they've been there. They leave a web, there's proof the
huntsman's that just they rock up.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
And I'm a little bit worried that did they live
in a hole? They might mistake some of your holes
for their home. Is that what you're worried about? Which
holes like your nostrils?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Or hole? That would be That would be a hard
way to wake up.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I wasn't worried about that. You will be now, I
will be now. I will think someone a little spider
might see me asleep. Think home. Then in when I
six five, where'd you find the spider? I assume we're
not going to get anybody to just say in one
of my holes?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
No, I mean that would be bonus.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That would be bonus.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Points Maria's in Sydney, where was the spider? Maria in
the car.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
And stopping the door to the school, and I had
one on the outside on my side, and she goes
mom a friend outside and I'm playing with it and
I'm like what And on her side with the huntsman
as well. I've stopped at the set of eye and
I'm screaming for help, and they thought that she was
(07:12):
something wrong with her and I'm like, no, a spider
and no one would touch it. No one would go
near the car and help me.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, really, no one would help you.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It doesn't because it's this Australian wide fobia. We're just
not good with spiders.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I think so?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I reckon, there's like compared to have you seen the
comments on this, I think compared to other countries, I
think Americans aren't very good. I definitely think England's not
very good.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Do you know what? I think this would sell so
many cars though. If one of the big car manufacturers
came out with some sort of spiderproofing technology, I don't
know how they do it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, I think you'd have where the air freshener is, yes,
something that Morteine could make yep, yep, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Without poisoning the others in the car obviously.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, do you want spiders or not? You can't have
it both ways.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Hailey is in Sydney. Hailey, your dog loves to bring
funnel web spiders? What tells the story?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I don't know what it is, but everything she was
about six months old, I just started getting funnel webs
brought to my back door and occasionally dropped them in
my back of my boots and how many times? About
twelve years old. Basically it was weekly ever since she
was six months old. Now she's about twelve.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
And where do you live that there can be weekly
funnel web spiders brought to your back door.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
I moved from Dubbo to Newcastle and now to Sydney,
and she always seems to climb them.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It's a different city. That's remarkable.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Newcastle had the most of them, like they were the
biggest ever Quarry and Newcastle they were the biggest one
and she found more of them than ever there and
it was more frequent as well through the week.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
That's remarkable.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
You know you dogs can sniff out different things. Yeah, yeah,
you know, because obviously you have them as sniffer dogs
and drug dogs, and can they sniff out funnel web spiders?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Seems say that's terrifying but also a superpower. I mean,
press Tracy is in Brisbane? Tracy? Where was? Where'd you
find the spider in my pants?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Were your pants on your body? Tracy?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I put them on after work and I felt something
bite my bottom and I quickly threw them off and
the spider fell out.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Wow? And what type of spider was it?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
A huntsman?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Okay? Did it hurt?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I did initially, but luckily I had no reaction to it,
but a bit scary being a rechnophobic. Yeah, fair enough.
I mean, certainly the thing is the huntsman. I've never
been bitten by a huntsman, but you would think that's
probably one of the better ones to be bitten by.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Also, you know, I reckon the ass is maybe the
best spot to be bitten if you think about it.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Tell me why most protection?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
There's some padding?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, most padding, that's true.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
It's a bit of flubber.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But then I guess, like if it hurts, you will
like be reminded of it every time we sit down
on it.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So in summary.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Pros and cons to getting bitten on the US by
a spider.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
We'll cover this off in more depth later. We'll wrap
up with step in Melbourne on thirteen one oh six,
five sept Where did you find the spider?
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Hey? Mate? So back in twenty twenty one we went
and we spent Christmas in South Australia. Yeah, and we
cut down a Christmas tree for ourselves and we brought
it into our airbnb and the next morning when we
woke up, we saw tens of thousands of spiders all
over the ground and we had to move out. We
couldn't stay and we found out that there was little
(10:37):
eggs now on that spider that we brought and the
entire airbnb was invested.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
This is perhaps my worst nightmare, to be honest. The
idea te waking up in the morning and what was
it like? You couldn't see the walls because they were
covered with spiders.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Well, essentially we went in because our master bedroom was
right next to the living room. As we came in,
we thought the ground was black. Oh no, they were
moving in little balls.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Oh god true. I would just like to apologize to
the whole country on behalf or so sorry to use it,
but sorry to everyone else with that mental.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Image nightmare stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Ah, that's do you know what Christmas is canceled? If
that happens.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I think that airbans be still available though. Yeah, you
have to hire it off the spiders. Now that's the
only condition.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
In the radio industry, thousands of people request an on
air shout out every week. These shout outs are carefully
considered before just one is granted. This is Zach Andm's

some of the other cowboys.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Is that do you reckon? We've got any cowboys listening

Might have a few musters going on, a few musterers.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, okay, Yeah, I'd love to hear a muster. Thirteen
one oh sixty five. If you'd like to apply for
a shout out, we're firstly welcoming in Bella in Sydney
into the shout Out court Room Bella, just so we
can finalize your application. What is it you'd like to
apply for a shout out for? Hi? Boys?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I want to shout out my mom tonight.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Bella, Bella. You're not shouting out yet, you're applying for
a shout out a.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Flying okay, I'd like to apply for a shout.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Out yep for my mom. Yep. Two. Mum's name her
name Speefee fefee cool okay, brilliant Fiefee. She isn't on
the radio on another radio station in Melbourne, is she?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, she's not. Okay, she's not feefee box good, just
checking worth checking, Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So what would happen if we gave her a shout out?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Would we lose our jobs immediately?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Probably, I'd imagine.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
So.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Okay, So Bella's mum Fifi is turning fifty, we'll add
that into the application. There we have Rachel in Melbourne
on thirteen one oh six five. Rachel, what would you
like to apply for a shout out for?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I just want to shout out for all the wait.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Truck drivers in Melbourne.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
They're doing amazing with all their hard hours.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
The what truck, the way truck, the waist like the
garbarbage truck?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is the term garbos an offensive term?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Rachel?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Sorry, is do you like?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Do you like being called a garbo? Is that offense?
Just check him? Just checking in, Rachel, just want to
know just what you used a different term? You use
a different term. I think it's endearing as well. We
totally agree you don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Sometimes sometimes you can't figure it out. So we have
Bella shouting out her mum, Fifi, he's turning fifty. You
have Rachel applying for a shout out for all the
bin trock drivers. These are two strong, strong shouted applications
so far.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
We have Paul on the Goldie. Who are you applying
for a shout out for?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Paul?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Just on myself.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Why do you think you deserve a shout out?
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Just because my work at the moment understaffed and I've
been working super hard, and I just thought, you know what,
you didn't get myself a shout out.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I like that idea. Where are you working, Paul.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I'll work it at came make kitchen bar as a chef.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Okay, nice, good part of the world, good part of
the Paul. Alrighty, well, I've never have we ever in
the shout out courtroom had somebody apply self shoudow.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I'll have to go through the records. I don't know
if there's a precedent for that, but to go through
our applications, we have Bello wanted to give a shout
out to a mum Fifi on her fiftieth birthday, Rachel
wants to give a shout out to the Garbos, and Paul,
impossibly an unprecedented move giving a shout out to himself
for working so hard at the bar as a chef.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, Well, let's enter our deliberations instantly, Zach. There was
something in the applications tonight that was bold.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Really is that where you're going?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
That's where my gut wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Because I was going to like how many people we
could reach, and there was a broad shout out.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
You think in the Garbos that's where your inklinger's going.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
See you want to reward Paul's bolderness.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Well, every judge in every courtroom wants to set a precedent,
a legal precedent for years to come, and I think
all Paul speaks on behalf of everyone in the country
who deserves their own.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
He stood up in the courtroom and said, I'm representing
myself here on.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Are you with me? All right?
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
This isn't aicially sanctioned and verified shout out on behalf
of Zach and Dom extended on this occasion.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Too, Paul on the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
The reason for this shout out, as commissioned in a
scheduled sitting of a shout out courtroom is oh.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Boy, he's been working hard lately and he's been understaffed.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
This concludes all shout out courtroom business.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Congratulations Paul, Thank you so much. Hopefully that turns your
night around if you're understaffed, but you get yourself a
self shout out. Yeah, I think that's that's basically three
coffees that gets you through the rest of the shift
for sure. This is second off.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Did you know schoolies is getting more tamed Dom?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, I've heard a little bit about this. Obviously, Schoolies
Week has been I think this week for behalf of
the Australians and next week for the other. But schoolies
apparently used to be this wild party at the end
of year twelve and the saying it's getting tamer and
tamer as the other years go on, either.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Gen Z's or the Key these days they have a
different view. Don't use the phrase kids these days, mate,
you're thirty four.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
You are too young to use the phrase kids these days.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
But I'm not a child, I know.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But kids these days is strictly for the sixty plus demographic.
I think, all.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Right, well, the young people these days, what do you
want me to say?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Just say just the school graduates at the moment.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
They just have a different attitude towards partying, I guess
to previous generations. These are some quotes from some schoolies
on the Gold Coast at the moment, I want to
remember it so you can't go too hard, one of
them says. One said that they weren't planning and drinking
at all. I'm being my friend zuber driver. That's a
good idea night a driver.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Actually a lot of this sounds very wise.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I'm working a bit next week, so I'll probably just
enjoy the weekend and then go home. That come on,
you can take a few days off work. That sounds
like hustle culture to me, which is kind of I
do feel like the young people are into that.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, yeah, going to be on the grind.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Guys, you've just done twelve years of school in take
a few weeks off, just.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Relaxed a little bit, have a sleep. It doesn't matter
that much.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I think I had like four months off over that period.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Some would argue I'm still in a period of time
of now school.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
The thing is about taking schoolies in a new.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Direction, tame schoolies.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Well, once in your life, dom, you've actually been ahead
of the curve. You are doing this before it was.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Cool thirteen years ago. I did go to schoolies when
I graduated year twelve, And yeah, I didn't think. I
didn't have the sense in that week that I was
starting a trend. But looking back, I think I was.
I think I might have had the first ever tame schoolies.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Well, some of these guys like, they're working next week,
so they're not going to go too hard. They're not
going to drink because they want to remember it. Those
are some of the ways they're taming it down. Yeah,
what was your team? Schoolies, Like, we'll.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Give you some of the wilder things I did and
you can judge yourself. I did, in one evening have
five cups of tea in the one night and.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
With that like like, whoa, look, how wild I'm I was?
There a comment on the five teas.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
When I made the fifth, I said, I wouldn't do
this at home?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
What would happen at home?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I'd be up an extra half hour probably the caffeine.
Yeah yeah, in tea, yeah yeah, which had five of them?
It adds up it So I just I was. I
had a slightly troubled sleep. I think it was the
English Breakfast extra strong.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
You almost cracked a six pack.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So that's that was. That was me hitting the beverage's heart.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
That is actually a serious subject though, I think binge
tea drinking can be dangerous.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well, certainly with the quantity of sugar I was putting
in my te's back. Then I was going to Yeah,
that's a tame school Well, this was I did. I
did do one stupid thing. Sometimes people do.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Stupid You have regrets sometimes.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, I went to the pharmacy and bought blonde haired
eye and dyed my hair blonde.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Your head's already pretty light.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It was a slightly live.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
It just looked like you'd been in the sun for
a while. And was that considered wild too? The discussion for.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Me and my friends who went in it, we were like,
should we do you reckon? We should? We went and
bought the sort of the diet home kids and dyed
our hair in the in the sink and honestly, you
couldn't tell. I came out and I was like, does
it look different? How does it look? And they were like, yeah,
it just kind of looks the same really, to be honest.
So but that was that cost me thirteen ninety nine
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Oh wow, I would have had to work next to
the next week pay that back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But I'll tell you it really got crazy on the
last night.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
What happened? You really let your new blonde hair down.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Kind of did well. It turned out there was Foxtel
in the parlement we were staying in, and I don't
know which of the channels it was, but there was
a SpongeBob SquarePants marathon and I watched seven episodes back
to back SpongeBob. SpongeBob. Yeah, good show and for adults too,
And was.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
That like ironic for you? Like this is so funny
that we're watching SpongeBob.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Like it started ironic and then the story lines got
you in my episode two, like I wanted a grabby Patty.
I was fully on board.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Needed something to go with the tea.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
So yeah, I mean, look, you judge for yourself. I mean,
I think that sounds like a pretty crazy week, honestly,
And at thirty I couldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
These days, you're no longer doing five teas at a
night tea and you're so sleepy you had to go
straight to bed.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Zach and Dom podcast This radio show, Zach, Well, we
stumbled on a big insight into Australian life recently. We've
uncovered a secret that we think was true about every Australian.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Does everyone have an Uncle Don? That was the question
that we came to air with last week.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And this was the response when we put it out there.
Hey Pam, you got an uncle Don?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Yes, I do on my dad's side, Uncle Don on
the on the mother's side, Yeah, uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
That was part of our lives growing up.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Hey, Ash what's your favorite uncle's name? Might have an
Uncle Don.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
I got a down family on both sides.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
My brother in law he's got an Uncle Don as well.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So it was wonderful. Really, it was a beautiful, moving
celebration of the Uncle Don's of Australia. And you know what,
we got carried away, Zach, You and I. We were
so excited, we were so enthralled that we didn't even
stop to think about the people we were maybe hurting
and making the day harder for.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
A few people have said, well, I'm in a minority
that don't have an uncle Don.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, we actually about me. We were really troubled to
hear from a few sad stories of people who don't
have Uncle Don's. And I mean life's been hard enough
on them already.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
They don't have an uncle Don, an uncle Don. I
mean usually when I get bad news, who do I
call Uncle Don?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Well I haven't yet, but I'm sure he will always
be there to pick up the callers if they need it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
You know, he's there if you needed it. That's what
Uncle Don is, right, And initially we sat there and went, well,
this is just terrible, this is so sad that we
made people, we rubbed it in their face that they
don't have an uncle Don. And then I had a brainwave.
Maybe we could do something about this. Maybe we could
we could find a Don for everybody adopted Don a
(23:08):
de facto Don, a de facto Don. Imagine if we
could find an uncle Don who's happy to adopt all
the Uncle Don orphan nieces and nephews of Australia as his.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Own Australia's uncle Don. Now do they have to be
an uncle Don? Do they have to be a Don?
Or do they just embody uncle donnas?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Now they've got to be an uncle Don. Don't you think?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Okay, why do not? I'm asking you the rules?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Well mate, I think I mean, unless you're willing to
change your aim to Don, we can work with that.
But what we want to know now on thirteen one
oh six five, is there somebody listening called Don who
is willing to potentially be the surrogate uncle Don for
all Australians who are without an uncle Don. Now I
don't know what are the likely responsibilities going to be
for this Roles Act. We should go through this just
(23:53):
so people know what they're committing to.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Wearing loud shirts at the Christmas family Christmas and.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
How many family Chris are you going to be required
to attend each year as the de facto don Um?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Well, I think you'll just be on call.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Oh yeah, okay, No, I think it's more.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
A spiritual thing, to be honest, I don't know how
much you're doing of groundwork. Yeah, okay, I think you're
just like the it's kind of like the queen. You
the head of state. Okay, yeah, ahead of the Dons. Yeah,
ahead of the Dons.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, it's an honorary position.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Great. Well, thirty one A six five. I mean, if
your name is Don, if you know a Don who
you think would be the perfect de facto Don for
all Australians who don't have an uncle Don? Can you
wake him up now? So okay call thirty one A
six five Zachonoma trying to find an uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I've got a spanner in the works there. You might
not want me to throw in.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
What's the spanner?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
If your name's Donna, could there be an auntie Don?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's not the same?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Is it the same?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I'm asking I'm happy to have.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Look if if there's an Auntie Don listening, who's confident
that she could fill the void. Then I'm happy to
have the conversation. I'm happy to have the conversation. On
thirty one O six I feel like it's an Uncle
Don thing though, but I'm open to changing my mind.
We do have a fifty dollars red Rooster voucher if there.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are any they do don't.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
In fact, i'd say Uncle Don. Uncle Uncle Don's frequent
red Rooster. They love it. And what do they order
when they get to a sub? Yep, yep, yeah, definitely
strip sub. I think if you said it in the
speaker box, they'll know what you mean.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I'll get the idea.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast. This is
super exciting. On thirty one O six five, we have
Uncle Don on the line. Uncle Don, thank you for
joining the show. It's wonderful to have it to be,
you know, to speaking to a Don. Right now, you've
heard this call out for Australia's Uncle Don. Tell us
why you think you could be a good fit as
the de facto Don.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Well, first of all, thanks having me. Boys, Look, I
think everyone deserves a good uncle and yeah, and coincidentally,
been called Don. I thought i'd sit the bills, so
I'll call it word. Either pick them up late at
night when they're drunk, or to come to a party
(26:14):
drunk myself.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
S's all uncle on experience whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Both of us sound Don like. But we have put
together a couple of situations here, Don, and we'll put
these to you to ask how Uncle Don would react
in these situations. If you pass, yep, you might be
Australia's Uncle Don. Otherwise the search will continue. So let's
say it's Boxing Day, the families got together, they're playing
(26:39):
a game of cricket. Where is Uncle Don fielding?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
I'm not I'm on the I'm on the side drinking.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
That's egoingly the answer Domini spoke about off air Domini
both said Uncle Don would be down the back beer
in one hand, one hand, one hand free to catch
a ball if it comes his way. He lets the
young'ins have a go at that wonderful.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Okay, le died. You've passed the first test. Second test,
Uncle Don. It's one of your nieces on ne fh.
He is getting married and you've come along and you've
got to bring a gift to the wedding. And you
know they don't know what gifts are going.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
To be brought.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
They haven't given him a registry or anything like that.
What sort of gift do you reckon? Uncle Don shows
up to.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
The wedding with the last gift that I got that
I didn't know what it was or didn't like, and
I regifted.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Uncle Don regifts. You don't think Uncle Don's a regifted.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I think Uncle Don relies on his partner for gifts.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, but what if Uncle Don's single mate? I don't know.
I don't know. Uncle Don could be in a period
of finding himself.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Last question, Don, to become Australia's Uncle Don Christmas lunch,
what are you wearing?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
What's the fashion?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
You've got to wear? The most itchiest Christmas shirt you
can find? A Hawaiian shirt, depends on how Hawaiian.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, a Hawaiian shirt. And I'm thinking, Don, I'm thinking a
pair of songs that look at least twenty years old.
Does that said about? I mean, firstly, Don, you can
have a fifty dollars red rooster gift boucher for being
Australia's Uncle Don, So thank you for doing that. But
this is an official coronation. You are now Australia's uncleed On.
(28:28):
Is this something you want to send a message out
to your new de facto nieces and nephews around the country.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Look, guys, Uncle Donald'll always be here for you. What
is need or not, I'll always be here.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's just beautiful. Everyone in Australia now has an Uncle Don.
That's that's brought a tear to my eye.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Someone you can call on if you need to, someone
to crack a joke out of Christmas party. That's it.
Someone to share a beer with. And we've all become
a little closer.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
We've all got ourselves and Uncle Don to share. Now.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
This is second Tom the Village idiot Dom. We use
sayings every single day in life, don't we.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
We do.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
We know what they mean, we know when to use them.
But where did they come from? Where did these sayings,
these phrases, these idioms originate.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I've got ants in my pants? Where'd that come from?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I thought you were just exclaiming that you had answer
in your pants there for a moment. No, But like
we've all heard the phrase that one's pretty obvious. Well, yes,
someone had ants in their pants.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
People must have maybe a while ago, people often would
have answer in their pants. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I don't think so. I think people have answer in
their pants as frequently.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Fine, it was an awful example. Can you stop bringing
attention to it?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Okay? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So these other game works. Producer man, he comes in
gives us an idiom, saying, you're a fight.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Up, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Well, just just felt like you were highlighting my mistake. Yeah,
did a little bit. You've got an idiot for us, Maddie,
And we're going to try to give the origins to
the idiot tonight.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
We're doing red handed, all right.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So when someone's been caught in the act, you say
they were caught red handed? Where does this originate from? Where?
Where was the first instance of this?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
To me?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think it's pretty obvious.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Blood?
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
True? So it was like a murder or something like that.
And then it's like, hey, let's have a look at
people's hands. Who's the people They've got blood on their hands?
Blood on their hands. That's another one probably came the
same day he came up with both of those phrases murder.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
In the police station, they said, we've just come up
with two idioms.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
They're going to be saying this in a thousand years.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That makes a lot more sense than what I had thought,
like an allergic reaction. So like let's say, for example,
well let's say there was a crime where like a
bunch of cushions or pillows got stolen, right, and so
someone had been touching.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
All these feathers. Yeah, rather those sought after prizes. That
crimination just.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I don't know something that you could have an allergic
reaction to. And they were like, who could have been
handling all of these odd materials and then someone had
like hives all over their hands? Red hands caught red handed.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Now often these are from yesteryear. Yes, what do you
think their understanding of allergens were?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
That's what I mean. I think they might have thought
it was like a sign from the gods, your guilty
has been exposed. Yeah, so I think it's hives on
the hands.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Producer may Zach got this one.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
But do you know what, I didn't realize it was
that obvious because when I prepared this, I had a
similar idea to you, domb but red hands. I was thinking, oh,
like you've been doing things with your hands so much
that they've gone a bit red, like the skin's gone
a bit like I feel guilty. I thought, Yeah, anyway,
what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I think she's saying that you use you're using your
hair and say.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Vigorously yes, correcting yes, But I didn't realize it was
so obvious. But yeah, this one dates back to Scotland
fourteen thirty two. Blood on the hands, the same thing,
hands caught, yeah, red handed to be convicted.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
So it wasn't like an original story or anything.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
That wasn't like actually it says, I still want to
bore you with it, but here we go.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
We're in now.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
So the punishment of any person who butchered an animal
that wasn't his own. In order for that person to
be convicted, they had to be caught with the animal's
blood still on their hands.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
So what you wash your hands in your you're fine
with it?
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Yeah, you're good?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Where you know? I washed my hands of it? Come back?
He did three in a day.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Believable. This is second tom I mentioned to use act
that I've been asked to star on one of the
bigger shows going around. At the moment I mentioned I.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Didn't know beauty in the giek is coming.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Back now they've already filled their beauty quota for the year. No,
this is another one. It is to do with dating though. Interestingly,
I got a message on Instagram from one of the
casting producers. This is completely legitimate from a big, famous,
popular love dating show, asking if I'd like to feature.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Why are we talking about this at five five minutes
towards the end of the show, I thought this would
be big news. Why don't we open with this?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I think it might have been a misunderstanding. I'm going
to read out the message I received and I just
need a bit of help with this. Hi. Dom, I'm
a casting producer working on the show my mum, your dad.
Have you heard of this show?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Yes, we're a dating show for moms and dads.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Like, so you're a kid, you might nominate your single mum,
you single?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
And I think it goes quite old too. I think
that's the idea, like you could be an older person
and still be on this dating show. Yes, not just
for young people.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, we are currently casting for season three. I came
across your profile and it looks great. O gives me
a little bit of info about the show and then
goes on to say people who've been on the show
previously have come away feeling like they've done real work
on themselves, regardless of if they found a mature or not.
Does it sound like something you would be interested in?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
This is perfect? What do you mean, Well, what were
we talking about in that song?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Just shut up? No, that was an off air conversation. No, no, no,
that was an off stop it, stop it. I don't
want to say. This is the third time you've brought
up your belief that I'm into mums, that I've got
a thing for people who are like my mum, and
I want you to stop saying it, because it's changing.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
On They've heard about it from your mum and your dad.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
No, okay, So here's my first question, because what I
can't figure out. What I can't figure out is whether,
like do they think I have kids? Is that the
misunderstanding here that I'm going to be paired up with
another single month.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
You don't have kids, you don't have any photos of
your kids, there's no reference to have kids.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Are they trying to get me to send one of
my parents on the show. That's what I can't figure out. Like,
I don't know if they want me.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
To go on if you don't have kids, don't you
like mums because that's perfect for you. That's kind of
like they made a dating show for you.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Wait, stop it. I don't have a thing for people
who resemble my mom. I don't even know. Like there
was one moment where I had moments. There's two moments.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
No, you had a crush on someone who looks like
your mom for a brief moment, I didn't never cry.
And then secondly I once got okay, I once go
again not helping yourself. Secondly, I once got you to
tell me the attributes of your perfect woman, and every
attribute sounded like a mum. It was like warm comforting
(35:49):
makes me porridge in the morning.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Say that. Look, I'm I'm open to love in any
form of emergence.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Is that what you said to him?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
My reply said, I'll tell you what I replied with.
I just went back with I'm thirty years old without
kids and my parents are happily married. So I'm not
sure why you messaged me, and the persone just wondered,
no worries, thanks for your reply. So I think I've
cashed that one. But are you're saying I've missed that opportunity. Yeah,
I could have gone on there and sought out the
mom's thirty years older than me, and magic could have happened.
(36:19):
I couldn't imagine how much project could be. That is
a time for on the show. If you want to
hear it back, you always get the Zach and Dom

A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Out of that dizzy feature Rose.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Zach and.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Have you ever like this?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Like s change?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
This happened? When's second kiss?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is Zac and Don.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, it's been a bit of a bumpy week, but
we are here.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yes, we're here, We are back. It was I who
was away the last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
In a rough patch.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It has been a rough patch. This is what's this?
What's today?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Wednesday?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
This is like day ten of sickness in my family.
Everyone got COVID and hit my baby the heart. It's unfortunately,
very sadly, been really hard. House finished and today he
was much better, so I'm hoping that today was the
last day. But yeah, we did have to go to
hospital twice because he, you know, had some respiratory issues.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
So that's if you've been wondering why there hasn't been
a podcast in your feed the last couple of days,
that's been why you've been sort of holding down the
fort and just trying to get through this incredibly difficult time,
and amazingly, somehow you've stayed healthy.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
That's the weird thing. So finch Own ten months old,
he tested positive, but Peaches the three year old and
Sarah they were really sick as well, like really some
type of virus, but they both tested multiple times negative.
And then Finch was the only one to test positive.
(01:44):
But then I didn't get anything. So I'm like, it
was there two different viruses in the house and then
I didn't get either one or with somehow they weren't
testing positive and they were faulty tests.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You get the years bizarre.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I don't know, you know, I did a rap before
I came in clean.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Oh clear, there is some sort of superhuman thing. I
don't know how you stayed immune from all.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
This, but because I figured because I only had COVID
like three or four months ago, but we all did,
so why are they None of it adds up, None
of it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
It would be like in a dystopian film. At the beginning,
you'd be the scientist going, this doesn't make sense. Yeah,
something's missing in the chain here. But anyway, the.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Good news is as well, how does it work on
the do you know?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Do I know? I mean, I'm so touched, But you can.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Be like can you be immune to a certain strain?
And I don't know, I don't know anybody picked it
up somewhere. No, I might have heard it.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
There is bizarre things about some people get antibodies for
longer than others, and some antibodies are stronger, and that's possible.
It is so. But they said this back at the
start of COVID. Remember that, like some people would walk
within ten meters of someone who had it and they'd
catch it, and other people would live with someone with
COVID and not get it. So it's a bit mysterious. Yes, well,
(03:01):
we're here now, and we're here, we're back. Yeah, so
should we just get into the show then let's get
to work.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Zack and Tom podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
The Americans are freaking out about Robert Irwin. He's put
up a TikTok about something he's found in your shoe.
It's a giant spider.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Terrifying, classic Australian dilemma, this one.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
All the Americans are like, so, what's going on? Do
you have to check your shoes every time you put
your feet in them in Australia?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yes, pretty much. That's exactly how it, Especially if you
leave your shoes outside or you know, in a garage.
A lot of people take the shoes up in the
garage or something like that and have like a shoe
rack in the garage. Spiders think beautiful accommodation.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
You know, I've got a lot of critters on my balcony.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, you basically live in the jungle.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It's just suburbia. But I do seem to get a
lot of snakes. Yeah, there's two possums who live on
the balcony roof. And so when I walk out my
front door, I do check top left, top, right, bottom, left,
bottom right, check the shoes. Yeah, I have like you
know how people pat down their pockets. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
just see like he's wallet. I do that with creatures.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, you are a bit like this though generally, particularly
with spiders, I mean with all animals. Really you're an
animal lover and you kind of live and let live,
like you've told me that. You know, there are huntsmens
in your house.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Of course this husband in your house as well.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yeah, but if you see them, if I see them,
they're going outside. And by going outside, I mean the
more team I mean they're going outside. Yeah, to another
realm oras in your world, if there's a huntsman, it's like, hey,
join the party.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
The more the merriya kill them.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Not you just live alongside them.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, yeah, thirteen one oh six five. Where was the spider?
Is the funny that we're doing. Robert Irwins found one
in your shoe? The Americans are freaking out, Where did
you find a spider? The other day, I was driving
dumb Did I tell you this? I don't think so,
and like a web came down and stopped dang in
the middle of my face.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Wait, so between you and the windscreen? Yeah, kind of
like mission impossible, hovering.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Down and it was a spider and I flicked it,
freaking out. Had to apologize later. Yeah, but it was
just a reflex apologize to the spider. Yeah, flicked it.
It stuck to the windscreen and then scuttled away.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What's interesting, I wonder what sort of spider that was?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Didn't check it was dark.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Also, I prefer the webs, the spiders that have webs.
It's the huntsmens, the lone rangers.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
They're the ones that get me. Have the one in
the hole than no thanks.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Because I feel like if there's a web, I can
trust them a bit more. Firstly, I respect them more
because they're craftier.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Artisans. They really are putting some effort into their craft.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
And it's a bit like going to see like a
pink concert or something. There's some acrobatics, you know, you
see it sort of drop down and move around and
all of that. And the webs can be quite beautiful.
It's the ones that don't have any any hint that
they've been there. They leave a web, there's proof the
huntsman's that just they rock up.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
And I'm a little bit worried that did they live
in a hole? They might mistake some of your holes
for their home. Is that what you're worried about? Which
holes like your nostrils?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Or hole? That would be That would be a hard
way to wake up.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I wasn't worried about that. You will be now, I
will be now. I will think someone a little spider
might see me asleep. Think home. Then in when I
six five, where'd you find the spider? I assume we're
not going to get anybody to just say in one
of my holes?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
No, I mean that would be bonus.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That would be bonus.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Points Maria's in Sydney, where was the spider? Maria in
the car.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
And stopping the door to the school, and I had
one on the outside on my side, and she goes
mom a friend outside and I'm playing with it and
I'm like what And on her side with the huntsman
as well. I've stopped at the set of eye and
I'm screaming for help, and they thought that she was
(07:12):
something wrong with her and I'm like, no, a spider
and no one would touch it. No one would go
near the car and help me.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, really, no one would help you.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It doesn't because it's this Australian wide fobia. We're just
not good with spiders.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I think so?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I reckon, there's like compared to have you seen the
comments on this, I think compared to other countries, I
think Americans aren't very good. I definitely think England's not
very good.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Do you know what? I think this would sell so
many cars though. If one of the big car manufacturers
came out with some sort of spiderproofing technology, I don't
know how they do it.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Well, I think you'd have where the air freshener is, yes,
something that Morteine could make yep, yep, yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Without poisoning the others in the car obviously.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, do you want spiders or not? You can't have
it both ways.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Hailey is in Sydney. Hailey, your dog loves to bring
funnel web spiders? What tells the story?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I don't know what it is, but everything she was
about six months old, I just started getting funnel webs
brought to my back door and occasionally dropped them in
my back of my boots and how many times? About
twelve years old. Basically it was weekly ever since she
was six months old. Now she's about twelve.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
And where do you live that there can be weekly
funnel web spiders brought to your back door.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
I moved from Dubbo to Newcastle and now to Sydney,
and she always seems to climb them.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It's a different city. That's remarkable.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Newcastle had the most of them, like they were the
biggest ever Quarry and Newcastle they were the biggest one
and she found more of them than ever there and
it was more frequent as well through the week.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
That's remarkable.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
You know you dogs can sniff out different things. Yeah, yeah,
you know, because obviously you have them as sniffer dogs
and drug dogs, and can they sniff out funnel web spiders?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Seems say that's terrifying but also a superpower. I mean,
press Tracy is in Brisbane? Tracy? Where was? Where'd you
find the spider in my pants?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Were your pants on your body? Tracy?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I put them on after work and I felt something
bite my bottom and I quickly threw them off and
the spider fell out.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Wow? And what type of spider was it?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
A huntsman?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Okay? Did it hurt?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
I did initially, but luckily I had no reaction to it,
but a bit scary being a rechnophobic. Yeah, fair enough.
I mean, certainly the thing is the huntsman. I've never
been bitten by a huntsman, but you would think that's
probably one of the better ones to be bitten by.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Also, you know, I reckon the ass is maybe the
best spot to be bitten if you think about it.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Tell me why most protection?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
There's some padding?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Yeah, most padding, that's true.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
It's a bit of flubber.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
But then I guess, like if it hurts, you will
like be reminded of it every time we sit down
on it.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So in summary.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Pros and cons to getting bitten on the US by
a spider.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
We'll cover this off in more depth later. We'll wrap
up with step in Melbourne on thirteen one oh six,
five sept Where did you find the spider?
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Hey? Mate? So back in twenty twenty one we went
and we spent Christmas in South Australia. Yeah, and we
cut down a Christmas tree for ourselves and we brought
it into our airbnb and the next morning when we
woke up, we saw tens of thousands of spiders all
over the ground and we had to move out. We
couldn't stay and we found out that there was little
(10:37):
eggs now on that spider that we brought and the
entire airbnb was invested.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
This is perhaps my worst nightmare, to be honest. The
idea te waking up in the morning and what was
it like? You couldn't see the walls because they were
covered with spiders.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
Well, essentially we went in because our master bedroom was
right next to the living room. As we came in,
we thought the ground was black. Oh no, they were
moving in little balls.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Oh god true. I would just like to apologize to
the whole country on behalf or so sorry to use it,
but sorry to everyone else with that mental.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Image nightmare stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Ah, that's do you know what Christmas is canceled? If
that happens.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I think that airbans be still available though. Yeah, you
have to hire it off the spiders. Now that's the
only condition.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
In the radio industry, thousands of people request an on
air shout out every week. These shout outs are carefully
considered before just one is granted. This is Zach Andm's
shout Out quart Room.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
If you would like to shout out on the radio,
give us a call right now. Thirteen one oh sixty
five is the number to enter the shoutout court room.

there of things. Yes, people are out on a muster

some of the other cowboys.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Is that do you reckon? We've got any cowboys listening
at the moment.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Might have a few musters going on, a few musterers.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, okay, Yeah, I'd love to hear a muster. Thirteen
one oh sixty five. If you'd like to apply for
a shout out, we're firstly welcoming in Bella in Sydney
into the shout Out court Room Bella, just so we
can finalize your application. What is it you'd like to
apply for a shout out for? Hi? Boys?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I want to shout out my mom tonight.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Bella, Bella. You're not shouting out yet, you're applying for
a shout out a.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Flying okay, I'd like to apply for a shout.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Out yep for my mom. Yep. Two. Mum's name her
name Speefee fefee cool okay, brilliant Fiefee. She isn't on
the radio on another radio station in Melbourne, is she?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No, she's not. Okay, she's not feefee box good, just
checking worth checking, Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So what would happen if we gave her a shout out?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Would we lose our jobs immediately?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Probably, I'd imagine.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
So.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Okay, So Bella's mum Fifi is turning fifty, we'll add
that into the application. There we have Rachel in Melbourne
on thirteen one oh six five. Rachel, what would you
like to apply for a shout out for?
Speaker 5 (13:36):
I just want to shout out for all the wait.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Truck drivers in Melbourne.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
They're doing amazing with all their hard hours.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
The what truck, the way truck, the waist like the
garbarbage truck?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Is the term garbos an offensive term?
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Rachel?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Sorry, is do you like?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Do you like being called a garbo? Is that offense?
Just check him? Just checking in, Rachel, just want to
know just what you used a different term? You use
a different term. I think it's endearing as well. We
totally agree you don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Sometimes sometimes you can't figure it out. So we have
Bella shouting out her mum, Fifi, he's turning fifty. You
have Rachel applying for a shout out for all the
bin trock drivers. These are two strong, strong shouted applications
so far.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
We have Paul on the Goldie. Who are you applying
for a shout out for?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Paul?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:31):
Just on myself.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Why do you think you deserve a shout out?
Speaker 7 (14:36):
Just because my work at the moment understaffed and I've
been working super hard, and I just thought, you know what,
you didn't get myself a shout out.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I like that idea. Where are you working, Paul.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I'll work it at came make kitchen bar as a chef.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Okay, nice, good part of the world, good part of
the Paul. Alrighty, well, I've never have we ever in
the shout out courtroom had somebody apply self shoudow.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I'll have to go through the records. I don't know
if there's a precedent for that, but to go through
our applications, we have Bello wanted to give a shout
out to a mum Fifi on her fiftieth birthday, Rachel
wants to give a shout out to the Garbos, and Paul,
impossibly an unprecedented move giving a shout out to himself
for working so hard at the bar as a chef.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Okay, Well, let's enter our deliberations instantly, Zach. There was
something in the applications tonight that was bold.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Really is that where you're going?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
That's where my gut wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Because I was going to like how many people we
could reach, and there was a broad shout out.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
You think in the Garbos that's where your inklinger's going.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
See you want to reward Paul's bolderness.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Well, every judge in every courtroom wants to set a precedent,
a legal precedent for years to come, and I think
all Paul speaks on behalf of everyone in the country
who deserves their own.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
He stood up in the courtroom and said, I'm representing
myself here on.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Are you with me? All right?
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (15:58):
This isn't aicially sanctioned and verified shout out on behalf
of Zach and Dom extended on this occasion.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Too, Paul on the Gold Coast.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
The reason for this shout out, as commissioned in a
scheduled sitting of a shout out courtroom is oh.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Boy, he's been working hard lately and he's been understaffed.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
This concludes all shout out courtroom business.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Congratulations Paul, Thank you so much. Hopefully that turns your
night around if you're understaffed, but you get yourself a
self shout out. Yeah, I think that's that's basically three
coffees that gets you through the rest of the shift
for sure. This is second off.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Did you know schoolies is getting more tamed Dom?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, I've heard a little bit about this. Obviously, Schoolies
Week has been I think this week for behalf of
the Australians and next week for the other. But schoolies
apparently used to be this wild party at the end
of year twelve and the saying it's getting tamer and
tamer as the other years go on, either.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Gen Z's or the Key these days they have a
different view. Don't use the phrase kids these days, mate,
you're thirty four.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
You are too young to use the phrase kids these days.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
But I'm not a child, I know.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
But kids these days is strictly for the sixty plus demographic.
I think, all.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Right, well, the young people these days, what do you
want me to say?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Just say just the school graduates at the moment.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
They just have a different attitude towards partying, I guess
to previous generations. These are some quotes from some schoolies
on the Gold Coast at the moment, I want to
remember it so you can't go too hard, one of
them says. One said that they weren't planning and drinking
at all. I'm being my friend zuber driver. That's a
good idea night a driver.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Actually a lot of this sounds very wise.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I'm working a bit next week, so I'll probably just
enjoy the weekend and then go home. That come on,
you can take a few days off work. That sounds
like hustle culture to me, which is kind of I
do feel like the young people are into that.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah, yeah, going to be on the grind.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Guys, you've just done twelve years of school in take
a few weeks off, just.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Relaxed a little bit, have a sleep. It doesn't matter
that much.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I think I had like four months off over that period.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Some would argue I'm still in a period of time
of now school.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
The thing is about taking schoolies in a new.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Direction, tame schoolies.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Well, once in your life, dom, you've actually been ahead
of the curve. You are doing this before it was.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Cool thirteen years ago. I did go to schoolies when
I graduated year twelve, And yeah, I didn't think. I
didn't have the sense in that week that I was
starting a trend. But looking back, I think I was.
I think I might have had the first ever tame schoolies.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Well, some of these guys like, they're working next week,
so they're not going to go too hard. They're not
going to drink because they want to remember it. Those
are some of the ways they're taming it down. Yeah,
what was your team? Schoolies, Like, we'll.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Give you some of the wilder things I did and
you can judge yourself. I did, in one evening have
five cups of tea in the one night and.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
With that like like, whoa, look, how wild I'm I was?
There a comment on the five teas.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
When I made the fifth, I said, I wouldn't do
this at home?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
What would happen at home?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I'd be up an extra half hour probably the caffeine.
Yeah yeah, in tea, yeah yeah, which had five of them?
It adds up it So I just I was. I
had a slightly troubled sleep. I think it was the
English Breakfast extra strong.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
You almost cracked a six pack.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So that's that was. That was me hitting the beverage's heart.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
That is actually a serious subject though, I think binge
tea drinking can be dangerous.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well, certainly with the quantity of sugar I was putting
in my te's back. Then I was going to Yeah,
that's a tame school Well, this was I did. I
did do one stupid thing. Sometimes people do.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Stupid You have regrets sometimes.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, I went to the pharmacy and bought blonde haired
eye and dyed my hair blonde.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Your head's already pretty light.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It was a slightly live.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
It just looked like you'd been in the sun for
a while. And was that considered wild too? The discussion for.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Me and my friends who went in it, we were like,
should we do you reckon? We should? We went and
bought the sort of the diet home kids and dyed
our hair in the in the sink and honestly, you
couldn't tell. I came out and I was like, does
it look different? How does it look? And they were like, yeah,
it just kind of looks the same really, to be honest.
So but that was that cost me thirteen ninety nine
or something like that.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Oh wow, I would have had to work next to
the next week pay that back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But I'll tell you it really got crazy on the
last night.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
What happened? You really let your new blonde hair down.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Kind of did well. It turned out there was Foxtel
in the parlement we were staying in, and I don't
know which of the channels it was, but there was
a SpongeBob SquarePants marathon and I watched seven episodes back
to back SpongeBob. SpongeBob. Yeah, good show and for adults too,
And was.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
That like ironic for you? Like this is so funny
that we're watching SpongeBob.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Like it started ironic and then the story lines got
you in my episode two, like I wanted a grabby Patty.
I was fully on board.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Needed something to go with the tea.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
So yeah, I mean, look, you judge for yourself. I mean,
I think that sounds like a pretty crazy week, honestly,
And at thirty I couldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
These days, you're no longer doing five teas at a
night tea and you're so sleepy you had to go
straight to bed.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Zach and Dom podcast This radio show, Zach, Well, we
stumbled on a big insight into Australian life recently. We've
uncovered a secret that we think was true about every Australian.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Does everyone have an Uncle Don? That was the question
that we came to air with last week.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And this was the response when we put it out there.
Hey Pam, you got an uncle Don?
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Yes, I do on my dad's side, Uncle Don on
the on the mother's side, Yeah, uncle Don.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
That was part of our lives growing up.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Hey, Ash what's your favorite uncle's name? Might have an
Uncle Don.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
I got a down family on both sides.
Speaker 7 (22:01):
My brother in law he's got an Uncle Don as well.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So it was wonderful. Really, it was a beautiful, moving
celebration of the Uncle Don's of Australia. And you know what,
we got carried away, Zach, You and I. We were
so excited, we were so enthralled that we didn't even
stop to think about the people we were maybe hurting
and making the day harder for.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
A few people have said, well, I'm in a minority
that don't have an uncle Don.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, we actually about me. We were really troubled to
hear from a few sad stories of people who don't
have Uncle Don's. And I mean life's been hard enough
on them already.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
They don't have an uncle Don, an uncle Don. I
mean usually when I get bad news, who do I
call Uncle Don?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Well I haven't yet, but I'm sure he will always
be there to pick up the callers if they need it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
You know, he's there if you needed it. That's what
Uncle Don is, right, And initially we sat there and went, well,
this is just terrible, this is so sad that we
made people, we rubbed it in their face that they
don't have an uncle Don. And then I had a brainwave.
Maybe we could do something about this. Maybe we could
we could find a Don for everybody adopted Don a
(23:08):
de facto Don, a de facto Don. Imagine if we
could find an uncle Don who's happy to adopt all
the Uncle Don orphan nieces and nephews of Australia as his.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Own Australia's uncle Don. Now do they have to be
an uncle Don? Do they have to be a Don?
Or do they just embody uncle donnas?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Now they've got to be an uncle Don. Don't you think?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Okay, why do not? I'm asking you the rules?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Well mate, I think I mean, unless you're willing to
change your aim to Don, we can work with that.
But what we want to know now on thirteen one
oh six five, is there somebody listening called Don who
is willing to potentially be the surrogate uncle Don for
all Australians who are without an uncle Don. Now I
don't know what are the likely responsibilities going to be
for this Roles Act. We should go through this just
(23:53):
so people know what they're committing to.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Wearing loud shirts at the Christmas family Christmas and.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
How many family Chris are you going to be required
to attend each year as the de facto don Um?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Well, I think you'll just be on call.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Oh yeah, okay, No, I think it's more.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
A spiritual thing, to be honest, I don't know how
much you're doing of groundwork. Yeah, okay, I think you're
just like the it's kind of like the queen. You
the head of state. Okay, yeah, ahead of the Dons. Yeah,
ahead of the Dons.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, it's an honorary position.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Great. Well, thirty one A six five. I mean, if
your name is Don, if you know a Don who
you think would be the perfect de facto Don for
all Australians who don't have an uncle Don? Can you
wake him up now? So okay call thirty one A
six five Zachonoma trying to find an uncle Don.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I've got a spanner in the works there. You might
not want me to throw in.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
What's the spanner?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
If your name's Donna, could there be an auntie Don?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's not the same?
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Is it the same?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I'm asking I'm happy to have.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Look if if there's an Auntie Don listening, who's confident
that she could fill the void. Then I'm happy to
have the conversation. I'm happy to have the conversation. On
thirty one O six I feel like it's an Uncle
Don thing though, but I'm open to changing my mind.
We do have a fifty dollars red Rooster voucher if there.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Are any they do don't.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
In fact, i'd say Uncle Don. Uncle Uncle Don's frequent
red Rooster. They love it. And what do they order
when they get to a sub? Yep, yep, yeah, definitely
strip sub. I think if you said it in the
speaker box, they'll know what you mean.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I'll get the idea.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast. This is
super exciting. On thirty one O six five, we have
Uncle Don on the line. Uncle Don, thank you for
joining the show. It's wonderful to have it to be,
you know, to speaking to a Don. Right now, you've
heard this call out for Australia's Uncle Don. Tell us
why you think you could be a good fit as
the de facto Don.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Well, first of all, thanks having me. Boys, Look, I
think everyone deserves a good uncle and yeah, and coincidentally,
been called Don. I thought i'd sit the bills, so
I'll call it word. Either pick them up late at
night when they're drunk, or to come to a party
(26:14):
drunk myself.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
S's all uncle on experience whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Both of us sound Don like. But we have put
together a couple of situations here, Don, and we'll put
these to you to ask how Uncle Don would react
in these situations. If you pass, yep, you might be
Australia's Uncle Don. Otherwise the search will continue. So let's
say it's Boxing Day, the families got together, they're playing
(26:39):
a game of cricket. Where is Uncle Don fielding?
Speaker 4 (26:44):
I'm not I'm on the I'm on the side drinking.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
That's egoingly the answer Domini spoke about off air Domini
both said Uncle Don would be down the back beer
in one hand, one hand, one hand free to catch
a ball if it comes his way. He lets the
young'ins have a go at that wonderful.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Okay, le died. You've passed the first test. Second test,
Uncle Don. It's one of your nieces on ne fh.
He is getting married and you've come along and you've
got to bring a gift to the wedding. And you
know they don't know what gifts are going.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
To be brought.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
They haven't given him a registry or anything like that.
What sort of gift do you reckon? Uncle Don shows
up to.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
The wedding with the last gift that I got that
I didn't know what it was or didn't like, and
I regifted.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Uncle Don regifts. You don't think Uncle Don's a regifted.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I think Uncle Don relies on his partner for gifts.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah, but what if Uncle Don's single mate? I don't know.
I don't know. Uncle Don could be in a period
of finding himself.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Last question, Don, to become Australia's Uncle Don Christmas lunch,
what are you wearing?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
What's the fashion?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
You've got to wear? The most itchiest Christmas shirt you
can find? A Hawaiian shirt, depends on how Hawaiian.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Yeah, a Hawaiian shirt. And I'm thinking, Don, I'm thinking a
pair of songs that look at least twenty years old.
Does that said about? I mean, firstly, Don, you can
have a fifty dollars red rooster gift boucher for being
Australia's Uncle Don, So thank you for doing that. But
this is an official coronation. You are now Australia's uncleed On.
(28:28):
Is this something you want to send a message out
to your new de facto nieces and nephews around the country.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Look, guys, Uncle Donald'll always be here for you. What
is need or not, I'll always be here.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's just beautiful. Everyone in Australia now has an Uncle Don.
That's that's brought a tear to my eye.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Someone you can call on if you need to, someone
to crack a joke out of Christmas party. That's it.
Someone to share a beer with. And we've all become
a little closer.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
We've all got ourselves and Uncle Don to share. Now.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
This is second Tom the Village idiot Dom. We use
sayings every single day in life, don't we.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
We do.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
We know what they mean, we know when to use them.
But where did they come from? Where did these sayings,
these phrases, these idioms originate.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I've got ants in my pants? Where'd that come from?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I thought you were just exclaiming that you had answer
in your pants there for a moment. No, But like
we've all heard the phrase that one's pretty obvious. Well, yes,
someone had ants in their pants.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
People must have maybe a while ago, people often would
have answer in their pants. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I don't think so. I think people have answer in
their pants as frequently.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Fine, it was an awful example. Can you stop bringing
attention to it?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Okay? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So these other game works. Producer man, he comes in
gives us an idiom, saying, you're a fight.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Up, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Well, just just felt like you were highlighting my mistake. Yeah,
did a little bit. You've got an idiot for us, Maddie,
And we're going to try to give the origins to
the idiot tonight.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
We're doing red handed, all right.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So when someone's been caught in the act, you say
they were caught red handed? Where does this originate from? Where?
Where was the first instance of this?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
To me?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think it's pretty obvious.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
What are you thinking?
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Blood?
Speaker 6 (30:24):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
True? So it was like a murder or something like that.
And then it's like, hey, let's have a look at
people's hands. Who's the people They've got blood on their hands?
Blood on their hands. That's another one probably came the
same day he came up with both of those phrases murder.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
In the police station, they said, we've just come up
with two idioms.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
They're going to be saying this in a thousand years.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That makes a lot more sense than what I had thought,
like an allergic reaction. So like let's say, for example,
well let's say there was a crime where like a
bunch of cushions or pillows got stolen, right, and so
someone had been touching.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
All these feathers. Yeah, rather those sought after prizes. That
crimination just.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I don't know something that you could have an allergic
reaction to. And they were like, who could have been
handling all of these odd materials and then someone had
like hives all over their hands? Red hands caught red handed.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Now often these are from yesteryear. Yes, what do you
think their understanding of allergens were?
Speaker 2 (31:24):
That's what I mean. I think they might have thought
it was like a sign from the gods, your guilty
has been exposed. Yeah, so I think it's hives on
the hands.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Producer may Zach got this one.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
But do you know what, I didn't realize it was
that obvious because when I prepared this, I had a
similar idea to you, domb but red hands. I was thinking, oh,
like you've been doing things with your hands so much
that they've gone a bit red, like the skin's gone
a bit like I feel guilty. I thought, Yeah, anyway,
what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
I think she's saying that you use you're using your
hair and say.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Vigorously yes, correcting yes, But I didn't realize it was
so obvious. But yeah, this one dates back to Scotland
fourteen thirty two. Blood on the hands, the same thing,
hands caught, yeah, red handed to be convicted.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
So it wasn't like an original story or anything.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
That wasn't like actually it says, I still want to
bore you with it, but here we go.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
We're in now.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
So the punishment of any person who butchered an animal
that wasn't his own. In order for that person to
be convicted, they had to be caught with the animal's
blood still on their hands.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
So what you wash your hands in your you're fine
with it?
Speaker 8 (32:38):
Yeah, you're good?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Where you know? I washed my hands of it? Come back?
He did three in a day.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Believable. This is second tom I mentioned to use act
that I've been asked to star on one of the
bigger shows going around. At the moment I mentioned I.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Didn't know beauty in the giek is coming.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Back now they've already filled their beauty quota for the year. No,
this is another one. It is to do with dating though. Interestingly,
I got a message on Instagram from one of the
casting producers. This is completely legitimate from a big, famous,
popular love dating show, asking if I'd like to feature.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Why are we talking about this at five five minutes
towards the end of the show, I thought this would
be big news. Why don't we open with this?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I think it might have been a misunderstanding. I'm going
to read out the message I received and I just
need a bit of help with this. Hi. Dom, I'm
a casting producer working on the show my mum, your dad.
Have you heard of this show?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Yes, we're a dating show for moms and dads.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Like, so you're a kid, you might nominate your single mum,
you single?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
And I think it goes quite old too. I think
that's the idea, like you could be an older person
and still be on this dating show. Yes, not just
for young people.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Yeah, we are currently casting for season three. I came
across your profile and it looks great. O gives me
a little bit of info about the show and then
goes on to say people who've been on the show
previously have come away feeling like they've done real work
on themselves, regardless of if they found a mature or not.
Does it sound like something you would be interested in?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
This is perfect? What do you mean, Well, what were
we talking about in that song?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Just shut up? No, that was an off air conversation. No, no, no,
that was an off stop it, stop it. I don't
want to say. This is the third time you've brought
up your belief that I'm into mums, that I've got
a thing for people who are like my mum, and
I want you to stop saying it, because it's changing.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
On They've heard about it from your mum and your dad.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
No, okay, So here's my first question, because what I
can't figure out. What I can't figure out is whether,
like do they think I have kids? Is that the
misunderstanding here that I'm going to be paired up with
another single month.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
You don't have kids, you don't have any photos of
your kids, there's no reference to have kids.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Are they trying to get me to send one of
my parents on the show. That's what I can't figure out. Like,
I don't know if they want me.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
To go on if you don't have kids, don't you
like mums because that's perfect for you. That's kind of
like they made a dating show for you.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Wait, stop it. I don't have a thing for people
who resemble my mom. I don't even know. Like there
was one moment where I had moments. There's two moments.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
No, you had a crush on someone who looks like
your mom for a brief moment, I didn't never cry.
And then secondly I once got okay, I once go
again not helping yourself. Secondly, I once got you to
tell me the attributes of your perfect woman, and every
attribute sounded like a mum. It was like warm comforting
(35:49):
makes me porridge in the morning.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Say that. Look, I'm I'm open to love in any
form of emergence.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Is that what you said to him?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
My reply said, I'll tell you what I replied with.
I just went back with I'm thirty years old without
kids and my parents are happily married. So I'm not
sure why you messaged me, and the persone just wondered,
no worries, thanks for your reply. So I think I've
cashed that one. But are you're saying I've missed that opportunity. Yeah,
I could have gone on there and sought out the
mom's thirty years older than me, and magic could have happened.
(36:19):
I couldn't imagine how much project could be. That is
a time for on the show. If you want to
