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 rolls Zach and.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Have you ever.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Feel like this?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Like stange?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
This this happened when seconds? This is Zak and Don.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Here we are back for another week of the podcast.
We've just been having the most wonderful conversation before the show,
just reflecting on free to air TV, the good days
of free to air TV.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We're not going to get it back.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I think, you know, people were pretty negative against free
to air TV when streaming first came in, But I
think we're regretting that a little bit now.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I think we are too.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We think, well, we said a few harsh words, we
had a bit of fun, yeah, but now we understand
that free to air did have some nice things. I
was talking about how nice it was to flick.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, it was lovely. The Flick's gone, Yeah, it totally is.
And you were also saying the fatigue of starting something.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I think there's a philosophical thing, yes, or psychological rather yeah,
I agree idea that like starting a show feels like
a lot yeah yep, And there's a lot of pressure
on you.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
What show am I going to pick?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm picking this is on me. If I don't like it,
I have.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
To scroll through shows. Maybe I have to look up reviews.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I have to be good. I have to be fully invested.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Am I ready to start from the beginnings?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
But just turning on a TV seeing what's on? Just
kill twenty minutes? Yeah, just flicking around.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Walk into a room. Oh, someone's watching this. I guess
I'll sit down and watch fifteen minutes or got Why.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Not, I've honestly spent the allocated time I had to
watch TV and not watched anything. Yes, yeah, just like
maybe I like some lunch or something. So I sit
down with the sandwich, I start flicking through. I'll finish
the sandwich. I won't find anything, so I'll be like, oh, well,
I guess I'm not watching TV.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I know what you mean.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Whereas back in the day, yep, sit down with your sandwich.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Doctor Phil's on.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I don't like Doctor philm I wouldn't choose to watch it,
but if it's on, yeah, I'll enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Well, I eat a sandwich, then I'll get up and leave.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Ready, steady cook, Now, I'm never gonna seek out Ready steady.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Cook, You're not going to watch it on a stream,
not binging.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Ready Steady Cook. I'm not doing that. However, if Ready
Steady Cook's on while I'm having lunch, Ready Steady cooks on?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I think.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And then you give some research into that, yes, because
there's not as much passive viewing anymore and we miss that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, just just going and then something get weirdly invested
in Team Capsicum. Yeah it's great, Well, what's he going
to cook? It's a great But this is the thing.
It's sort of like it entices you in by surprise
rather than you making the call. It's like, you know
what it is. People say this with friendships sometimes, you know,
you hear the idea of I feel like I'm making
all the effort. I feel like with TV now we
(02:57):
have to make all the effort.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
We'll produce a matting night work.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Reflecting on flicking between shows, you could watch two shows
at once.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, if you timed it, well, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Watch one for seven minutes, it goes to an ad Yes,
what's happening in this other one?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Just flick back and forth.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Sometimes, if you had multiple family members in the same room,
that was a compromise. You got to they we're going
to change the channel every ad break.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But now I don't know if we're enjoying it more.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I don't think we are.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
No, I'm off streaming services at the moment.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You don't have any. No, I've got Disney plus some
about to get rid of it. And Sarah said, should
we just stick with like some of the free apps
for a while, you know, like SBS and ABC.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And the commercials, the seven plus and whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I'm a bit overpicking what to watch if I hear you,
and I don't want to start from the start yep.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
No, I totally and I actually think the ad break
was good because I think the ad break again, breather,
get a drink, go to the bathroom. I did get
excited for what's on the other side of the ad break.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
We was great used to do, like maybe five years ago,
we had a Survival watch party and we're watching a
couple of Survivor episodes back to back. In America, they
usually do that for the finale. It's like kind of
a super sized episode and we're watching on you know,
one of those online things, you know, like what a
(04:17):
VPN or something, the apps, you know, like your seven
app away. Someone goes like, oh, I still an ad
block here and make it so much easier. It's too much, Yeah,
too much for the party you're with your friends watching,
you want to have the ads to chat about what
you've seen. Yes, without that, we just sat in silence
(04:37):
for ninety minutes and at the end, okay, I guess
we're all going.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
My family used to play guests the ad. Do you
ever do that?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You're like, who can yell out? What company the ads for?
I love guess the.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Ad one of those great capitalistic but you a red rooster.
You know what blew our minds as kids is my
dad could always predict when the show was coming back
on why Well, his big secret, we found out later,
was because they play a promo to Channel ten. But
as a kid, I couldn't tell the difference between the
nod for Harvey Norman and a promo for Channel ten.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I didn't pick up the pad and.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
We were like mind blown, Like he gets it every.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Go And I was saying, you know, you might watch
a sports game or something, and then immediately after the
game wraps up, they say, oh, now we're doing a
screening of Mission Impossible, and you go, I wasn't planning
on watching Mission Impossible tonight. I wouldn't have picked Mission Impossible,
but it's on, and then you might only watch the
first twenty minutes. But if it's a Bond film or
(05:37):
a Mission Impossible film, often the first twenty minutes of
the best part there's a opening action sequence.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
We're missing watching things because they're on.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, I totally agree. I think we got to I
think we're going back to free tooware. I don't think
it's done. I think it's going to have a research.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I honestly, and I'm not joking because I have heard
that Netflix has a randomized function. Really, and I bet
what they'll do is a randomized function that is a
live stream so you can come into different So maybe
they'll have genres. It'll be like they'll have a horror
live stream, they'll have a comedy live stream. And then
we're going to be back to Fox. Aye, I'm get
(06:15):
TV one in no time.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes, and I want AD breaks back to I want
AD breaks.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Back will happen.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeahs You'll start watching these and then look, hey, the
price you're paying per month is too much.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, it was not enough. It's not covering our bills.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
This is it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
We're going to put a few ads effectively.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
In the long run, we're going to get what we
previously had. We'll get back, but we'll be paying for
it as well.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Exactly what will happen?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
This is where we're going to go. That's like a
media prediction of what lies aired from here.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I was on my start TV the other day and
I couldn't watch one of the free to air apps
because it needed to be updated.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
And I thought free to air never updated.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, turned it on and it was there.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I know, Channel ten, Channel nine, Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Whatever. Flick flick flick Now.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Even if I'm in the app and I want to
change to another app, what a pain in the ass
that is? Back to the home screen. I find another app,
wait for it to boot up. Oh, you need to update.
Oh log in? Yes, I had to create an LG
account for my TV. Why do I need an account
to watch TV?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I just want to watch the Simpsons. I just want
to press ten and then ten comes on and I
watch the Simpsons. I honestly what this feels like. It's
like you break up with someone because the world's your oyster,
and you think, well, this relationship is good, but what
else is out there? And then you've gone out there
and you've seen the world, and you've traveled and you've
been exotic, and you go I actually think that was
it for me.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I think we had was at the start.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah. The comfy pair of socks, that's what The comfy slippers,
that's what I want.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I just want that Simpsons at six pm again.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I think we should go to the freeedoares and say
this should be your pitch come back.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't even know did life? Does it exist?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
TV? Like I know the apps exist, like the catch
up it exists, it exists.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, so people, there's a technolo you're still around?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
When I bought a new TV last year, I was
surprised to learn that you can't get a non smart TV.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, it's got to be smart, smart and done TVs.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Anyway, look, I will push this effort together to get
free to air TV back. If you're ten to seven, ABC, SBS, whatever,
get in touch nine. We'll work with you. But for now,
let's get to work.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
This is second Tom.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I went on a date a couple of nights ago
Zach from a dating app. First date from a dating app,
and it was going really well. But I'm worried I
did something that might have tried to accelerate the thing
way too quickly.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Now you do have a history of coming in hot,
Yeah I do.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Don't I actually rushing to? You know, didn't you write
that girl like ten pages?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Once there was a girl?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
This was a while ago, I mean I was, I
was quite a bit younger, but I did write someone
after two dates, a three thousand word message. Now hold
on a second, let's just ease right up through. Yeah,
it about It was about my life and my love
and I don't mate. But hey, right now, before you
laugh too hard. We ended up dating a few weeks
(09:12):
later for like a year, and I ended that one.
So that worked, So that for all those people out
there who've been told you're too key, you come on
too strong, it can work. I'm a I'm a true
case story.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
What did you do this time?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So we were having this this dinner, and I was
talking on the dinner about an upcourring trip I've got
planned to Canada. I'm going to Canada at the end
of December for a bit of time in Canada and
then the US. And we were talking a bit about
bamp and she made some comment about how bamp sounds
amazing and she loves to go to vamp In, you know,
the mountainous town in Canada, and I the vibe was good.
(09:44):
We've been chatting for an hour and a half and
I sort of as you said, do you want to come.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Then on the first date, you invited someone on an
overseas trip.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, and I know that sounds weird.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, it's a bit weird.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Well, but I was. Look, it was I was reading
the vibe of the moment. It was a bit playful,
it was. I don't think she took it entirely seriously.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
She's like, get out your phone, let's book those tickets.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, I just it was one of those moments where
I thought, in a rom com, In a rom com,
you do this. In a rom comm, you go on
the day.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
There's very few realistic rom comms, though, don't you think,
like true your favorite one about time involves time travel,
for example.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's not true now, I understand that, But there is
something about there's something about the heart of a rom
com I think, which involves like an active bravery. Stupidity
and bravery are very close to each.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Other, right, I think a lot of the time.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, the actions in rom comms would be considered weird
and creepy if they happened in real life.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's an interesting point. I should go on a bunch
of dates and do like a rom com road test. Yeah,
just try what happens in rom coms. Yeah, but I
just I was vibing the moment. I thought this was
good and that I thought, wouldn't this be the best story,
Like if we're married twenty years time? Three kids? They said,
tell us the story, Mum and dad, we go. It
was our first date and your father said, do you
want to come to Bamp with me? And I did
(11:05):
and we fell in love. Well, you were in the
snowy mountains of Bamp.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You have a history of coming on hot, but you
also have a history of going cold quickly.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Can you imagine you go on this.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Big holiday, you're like thirty hour flight away from home,
and you decide that you're not interested in this person anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Then what do you do?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well that's where the rom com turns into just a
straight out comedy, I dare say, But it's only a
few nights in Bamp. That was just the idea, wouldn't
it be cool? Wouldn't it be spontaneous? Yeah, don't you
feel like life is too programmed? Wouldn't it be best?
Like great if life could be a bit more spontaneous.
That's all I was getting at. Look, I haven't heard
from her following up the bamp proposal since the dinner.
(11:44):
Do you think she might have taken it as a joke.
I think she might have, and I didn't mean it
as a joke. Yeah, I seriously would have been up
for that. I think that would have been like, I
think that would have been a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I think it would have been fun idea. I think
practically there's a few issues.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Like, well, well you've been on what like one hundred
first dates over the last couple of years. It's something
like there's been a bunch, and how many went past
first date?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
It came not many, So I'm saying that, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
The history is that it doesn't work out, and do
you want to find that out in a foreign country.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But I think sometimes you got just got to do something.
What's Einstein's stupidity thing, the same thing, expecting different results.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You've got to try something new.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Well that's what they say.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Anyway, you've got to try Facebook.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
A swan of my aunt's shared it. I think you've
got to try something new, look thirteen one oh six five.
I'm sure this must have worked before. How quickly did
things escalate?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
You do hear stories of people getting married within a
couple of.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Weeks, right, right, or engaged really quickly.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
They seem happy, you know ten years later?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yes? Did you go on one date or you met
once and suddenly you were living together within a few months,
you were traveling together. Did things escalate really really quickly?
And was that a good thing or a bad thing?
Because maybe, Zach, maybe when you meet the person and
you know, you just know, and you're like, why wait,
that's got to be possible.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Though, maybe you've done something similar to dom. Yeah, first date, Hey,
let's go overseas. Yeah, and then a few days later
you're in Bali.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's it, that's it. Well, I reckon this sort of
spontaneity can actually be the spark that gets love going sometimes.
So look, we are asking thirteen one oh sixty five,
how quickly did things escalate? Jillian in Melbourne? What was
your story?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
So?
Speaker 7 (13:25):
I was seeing a guy, like just walking up with him,
but nothing official. Then we started actually dating, and six
weeks later got engaged.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Six week so six weeks of dating and you engaged?
And was this a spontaneous proposal or did you sit
down and have a chat about it?
Speaker 8 (13:42):
No, it wasn't planned.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
We were actually just out drunk in a bar, completely drunk,
and he just asked and I said yes. The next
morning we sort of went did we get engaged last night?
Are we doing this? And we went yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (13:54):
And yeah, we're engaged totally.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
Our family so, our friends and.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Are you still together now?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Ye've been married for thirteen years?
Speaker 7 (14:01):
See that, this is what it means together.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Sometimes you take a spontaneous sort of leap, You take
a leap of faith and look what can happen? I
mean that sounds dramatic, and I imagine Gillian's friends probably
were saying, what do you do in Jillian? It's been
six weeks, but it's worked.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
That's more than one day though, that's true. Karen's in Melbourne.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Karen, where did things escalate too quickly or very quickly?
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Well?
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Firstly, I'm a South African. I met my husband in Taiwan.
He's a Canadian. We started dating. There were lots of
sleepovers within two months as a joke, because you know,
boys never just move in with girls. That's a big commitment.
And as a joke, I was like, you live here
most of the time, you should just move in, and
he was like, oh, if my gym moves in, then
(14:45):
I move in. And I was like, oh okay. Then again,
didn't think it would happen, and that conversation happened like
a Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday mornings, the doorbell rings. The shortest
Taiwanese man have we ever seen to together with my
now husband, I standing with his lock Stock and Beryl,
and we've been together now twenty years. We've traveled the world.
(15:06):
It's been with me twice through cancer, and I would
never change anything in my life.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
There you go, isn't it we're talking about? So you're
jokingly throughout you should move in and we could start
a whole life together. Next thing you know, married twenty
years and life's gone wonderfully. This is exactly what I'm
talking about, Zach. With your cynicism over there saying spontaneous
spontanadi doesn't work, it should follow a measured process.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I've never seen any of this you're putting a lot
of words in my mouth. I said that you shouldn't
go overseas with someone you met on a first date.
When this is like your.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
One trip for the year.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
It's like you're putting all this investment into it, and
I made it could go wrong on the first day
and or ruin your whole trip.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Well, let's see what Amy in Sydney thinks. Thirty one
oh six five? How quickly did things escalate? What happened
to you? Amy?
Speaker 10 (15:52):
So I went overseas. I went to Singapore and was
talking to the guy I meant on hinds. Our first
date was when he picked me up from the airport.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (16:04):
Actually hit things off within moments. I was like, this
guy is amazing. And then he stayed with me for
the duration of the troop. I was in single for
five days and we're still in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Wow, and you've come back to Australia though, So is
it long distance?
Speaker 10 (16:23):
Yes, we're in a long distance relationship. I met him
in September, early September and I could be flying back
in November.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Gosh, okay, So Amy, what's your advice to me? Then?
I mean, if I on a first stand, I'm getting
a good vibe off someone an hour and a half
in and after out? Do you want to come to
Canada with me? Do you from your experience do you think, yeah,
go for it? Or do you? For you? Is that
even a step too far?
Speaker 10 (16:48):
I think if the vibe is there, like you've had
phone calls with them, and you know you're getting like
a good you know vibe, there's good energy, yeah, I
think for it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
May it didn't sound at all convinced, Dave.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Have you been having phone calls?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
No, it's the first time we've spoken. No, Okay, but
you know what, Amy, I'm going to give you a
fifty dollars red roost about you anyway, just for you know,
supporting me even if your heart wasn't really in it.
Thank you for that. And I honestly think, Zach, I
mean what we're hearing there is follow your heart Australia.
When something deep in you says this is the way forward,
doesn't matter if it seems dramatic, if it seems too soon,
(17:24):
just jump in, don't you reckon?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I do?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I do.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That's the I think it's a beautiful time to end on.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Say my pay, Say my pay? Tell us what you
do and what they pay you for.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
If this is our national pay survey, give us a
call on thirteen one oh six five. All you do
is give us your job titled you stay anonymous outside
of that, yes, and we're going to try to.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Gauge your wage. Guess how much you get paid.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That's how it works basically, So any job that you
might do, give us a call on any one O
six five to play say my pay. We're kicking it
off with a transport coordinator. What does a transport coordinator do?
Speaker 9 (18:08):
So basically whatever company books jobbed in and then I
allocate the work to a driver who will then deliver
it to a customer. So it's basically business the customer.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
So it's like.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Mission control for delivery items pretty much.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We have learned that there is weird money in transportation generally.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Well trains, Yes, a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Do you know what I says?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
We thought less?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So we've never heard from boats how much the people
involved in boats?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Soon?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Do they have a good living? Who? I don't know? Captains?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Captains captain would be a lot'd be fascinated to find.
It depends you know if they're on like a big
cruise ship. I reckon that captain would be on a
fair bit true.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Good point. And also you get the buffet every day.
That's a pretty great gig.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Get to go to some comic in do you get
first first crack at the buffet?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I would imagine, so.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
No one touch till the captain's been We'll follow that up.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
What do you think for mission control for delivery?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
No idea. I'm going to say sixty.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I reckon i'd be a bit more. That's an important job.
People get angry and they don't get their parcels eighty two?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Transport coordinator eighty two. That's never happened. That has never
happened in the history of this game. It's a bullseye.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Wow, I've never had a bullseye in Are you feeling
different tonight?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I didn't think a lot. I've got the new socks on.
You know, you told me to get where cooler socks.
You tell me angle socks are out, So I said, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
It was a threat.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yeah, cooler socks or you're not going to be welcome
back into the studio. And I were looking out for
you because we were saying, Hey, the gen Z's are
going to roast you for those socks?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Am I rocking the cool socks?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
And maybe I'm better at the game. Now, let's continue
it with the correctional officer. I'm thirty and one oh
six five.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
How long you've been in the game for correctional officer?
About three months? Three months?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
What were you doing before?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'm working in another law enforcement, well, local government.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And correctional officers in a jail, right.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
That's correct?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Is it a scary job or is it safer than
we might think?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Probably safer than you think.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, okay, interesting, Well I feel like that's pressure on
because I've all.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
What are you thinking? Do you want me to give
you a ballpark? Please?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You can time?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah, I think eighty.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I think it's a bit less if you're only a
few months in, maybe like a seventy four and a half.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
He's going specific.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
What is it, correctional officer seventy two?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh, you were on fire?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
What is going on? Man? It's the socks.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
There's something magic about them.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I think there is salary socks.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
This is I'm thirty this year. I just said there recently.
If I'd known that the secret was just changing the
socks earlier. My whole life could have gone differently.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Now, what job is this?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Oh, cable hauler? On thirteen one oh six five? What
is a cable haul? Cable hauler? Are you there?
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So? Hello? What what what do you do?
Speaker 10 (21:08):
So?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I'm a contractor for electricians.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, so you haul cable? I guess.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, we pull that big cable, big high voltage cable.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Wait, like power lines.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Not necessarily, but the underground ones.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
I've heard of some copper theft going on recently. Does
that happen in your line of work?
Speaker 10 (21:31):
Not?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Really?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Do you know the little gray boxes out the front
of your house? Yes, yeah, we run powerful like those
in your states, or the new factories we do.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
There you go, I've just googled it.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
It is a real job. I was worried for a
second someone was having us on cable. Well, you know,
if you're like laying cable. Yeah, that's what people might
say when you're doing it.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Food. I thought someone might be trying to pull the
wall here. No, that's a real job.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Okay, Well let's see how I can go here. What
are you thinking? You did ballpark the first time?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I don't really know what it is.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
If you weren't thinking about Pooh, you would have heard
him explain.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, but so that they probably are an electrician.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He lays the cable in a newer state.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah, yeah, so there you'd be an electrician.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, contract for electricians. He said, all this, what are
you thinking?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Eighty five?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I reckon it might be a tiny bit more ninety one?
What is it? Cable hauler?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, it's around that thousand.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Unbelievable. I just this is a perfect game. I just
played a perfect game.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
You've never been this good at anything in your life.
He's family, found his team. All you need to do
is find some socks.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
This is second time massive relief for my wife and
I dom because we have completed what else say, is
our first real child's birthday party. My daughter Peaches had a.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Three three year old birthday party over the weekend the
Big Three, and.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
This is kind of the first one that she's known. Yeah,
that's it because she was kind of understood. But three,
you know, she's putting requests in, she's asking for presents,
she's asking for cakes. She keeps talking about my party,
my party.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I reckon, if you did like a graph of enjoyment
of birthdays. It really starts going up, but three probably
peeps at eight or nine, and then it sort of
goes down from that point on.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Well, she had a great time, massive relief. It went
really well.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Actually, there's so much that goes with kids' birthdays.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
There's so much pressure on them because there's a lot
of questions, right, are you gonna do? Are you gonna
have a pinata? You're gonna do pin the tail on
the donkey with them?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
And I'll say yes or no, okay, past.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
The parcel, yes, oh, well done, pin the tail on
the donkey. No pinada?
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Pinada?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Is that culturally appropriate? We allowed pinadas?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Of course, you're allowed pinarders.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, what just feels South American?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, but so Ana chose.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Because it wearing sombre is probably is frowned upon.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Right. I still think they do it at the cricket sometimes,
don't they? I mean should they? I don't know? Can
we Can you get away wearing sombreros?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I don't know, but you can.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Wear an You could probably wear it as.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Sun safety yeah yeah, yeah, but it was like.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I mean, if you put an accent on while you're
doing the pinard is that's obviously not okay. But if
you're just playing a pinarda, that's totally just asking.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
We don't know. If we don't ask, that's true.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
We should be allowed to have open conversations.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I don't disagree, and we have had one.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Is okay?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Apparently bash that that donkey? That's the pinada donkey.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Generally it went really well and there's a massive relief afterwards,
because you know there's a lot going on. We tried
to keep it pretty low key. I was in charge
of fairy bread, smashed it out in the park.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Done, tell me your recipe.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
So I went white bread, butter and sprinkles.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
How thick was the layer of butter though, because that's
the question medium thickness.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
That was a sized online for not going thick enough?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Interesting? And was the bread like slightly? Did you have
it in the fridge for a bit to cool the
whole bread down, because otherwise the bread goes a bit
crusty at the end. Made I know my fairy bread,
you do because.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
You used to have fairy bread every afternoon.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, I loved it. I know my fairy bread.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
But to you that you meant to have it just
for parties life hack.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Yeah, you're an everyday fairy bread guy.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I was an everyday fairy bread guy.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yeah, what type of hundreds and thousands multi colored circles?
Of course multico You might go like the flat ones.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
No no no no, no no no, you're an idiot if
you're doing that. Yeah, the only way to do.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I thought you might mix it up.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
No, get the right recipe, stick with it. So you
nailed the fairy bread. The gifts all went well. For
gifts went well, cake went well. There was one moment
that was funny though.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
My nephew, who is six years old, right, he wrote
his own card, which is very nice of him.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It's very cute. So you opened the car his idea
or his parents hard to know.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I got the impression of his idea because he also
made the card nice and it was like stapled together,
Oh beautiful. He offered to read it for everyone there.
There's probably like twenty of my extended family live.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You don't often get a live reading of the card
and a birthday.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
It started with chapter one, is what he announced to everyone,
and he starts reading the story about a cat. I
got to chapter two, continued something about the cat got
to chapter three, I thought, wow, this is the first
birthday card I've heard with chapters.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, the narrative arc.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
After he finished, I got the card to have a
look at it. Gibberish on the inside making the whole
thing up.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well what that shows. It's clearly a skilled improm.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Created the Zac and Tom podcast he done thirteen one
oh six five. Have you ever been on a petty date?
Has your partner on the date revealed themselves to be?
I guess extremely cheap?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Bit of a cheap scape this.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Or he's in the news today about a woman who
went on a date with a guy. She offered to
pay half. You know, a nice thing to do.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah, we'll go go half.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah it's twenty twenty three. You go up at the
end and you say, I'll cover my half. You cover
your half.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
He denied it. I guess you know he's trying to
show off a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Well that's the idea, you know, your first day, put
your best foot forward. I get that that. I reckon
what's happened so far, happens on the majority of dates.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
See he turns it down. Don't be silly, I've got
this covered. The next day he wakes up and he
sends her a message that says, good morning, had a
great time last night. After thinking it over, I think
I'll take you up on that splitting. I'm going to
the game today and I didn't realize how much I
spent last night.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Lol. Can you vemo me fifty bucks?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
He's pretty bold, right, I mean, firstly, that's an admission
that that relationship's not going any further. You think, so
there's no way to do that, and then ask for
a second date.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
But in that case, then why would they pay What
do you mean, why would you pay half?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Well, if you knew you were never going to see
the person.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
If he said he didn't realize how much he spent
the last night, it sounds like he's had a few
drinks and maybe he wasn't fully with it in that instance,
and then the next morning thought that's not going any
further and I could get fifty bucks back.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
The woman said that she only spent twenty five dollars,
so she didn't even owe fifty dollars. And she said, yeah,
the rest of the seventy five to make it one
hundred was him buying drinks.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And how did she respond to this text?
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Because that's a pretty good one.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, what'd she go with?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
That offer expired after we left the restaurant, have fun
at the game with no money?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Good year, that's very good year. Yeah. I mean, look,
when you're negotiating a bill in any instance, when you're
negotiating the split of a bill once it's been paid
and everyone's agreed, that's like a contract. We're done now.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Because you can't chase it up.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Well, what's the window of opportunity? Like, could I say
to you, Zach, we went for a cafe breakfast in
twenty seventeen and I paid for your breakfast. Can you
pay me back?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I've decided I do want that back.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
I gave you a birthday present twenty seventeen, and I've
decided it.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Wasn't a birthday present. You owe me for it.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's it. Like you can't reneg down the track. You
kind of have to pick a story and stick to it.
Otherwise the whole system's gonna go out the window. You
can't do that.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Thirteen one oh six five. Have you been on a
petty date? Someone cheaped out a little bit?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Don't be in a cheap date, and we don't need
the name of the cheap date or anything. Well, you
just love to hear so that the single people of
Australia can know what to keep an eye out for.
What how cheap are they? What are cheap skate's doing
on dates?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Producer Matter, You had a petty guy once, didn't you?
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:31):
I did.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
I went on a first date with a guy and
we were at a bar and to start the date,
I walked in and I was like, hey, you look amazing,
and he proceeded to tell me how expensive his shoes
and his shirt were. They were like imported leather and
all these things cost eight hundred dollars, like really going
all out. And then we walk up the bar and
(29:53):
he says, now you auder your drink, I'll order mine.
I think we should just, you know, pay for our
own stuff. Due to the day and age, you should
just pay for your own.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Well, I mean, that's fine, splitting it, but not after
you brag about being such a high roll.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Well, you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I also don't think you should ever be saying the
phrase in this day and age on a first date.
I don't.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
It's not kind of lighthearted, No, it really isn't.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And I mean it's one thing to say, hey, like
to just order your drink or say I think we
should order our own drinks. It's another to link it
to the political moment. I just think you don't need
to make that heavy man. I just like, well, Maddie,
it was early in the date, and did this like
in that moment, were you pretty much ready to go?
This doesn't need to go any further. I can go home.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah, the vibe was off immediately after that.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Did you leave or no? I stayed.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I bought my own drinks and then we never went
on another date.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Okay, wosing out on the fancy shoes.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I know, Maddie, you could have. You could have admired
the fancy shoes. There's something in that that in one
six five we'd love to hear from petty dates, cheap dates.
I'm in a cheap date someone maybe maybe at the
end they asked for the receipt and they're sort of going, well,
I was this one and you ordered that drink and
that you.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Use a coupon.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
That's coup on a first date?
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Can I I don't have many dates in before a
coupon A.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Year of date. I reckon you can't coep on.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I reckon five, you could, oh well, the fifth date
you can coop on.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
No, you cannot coup on in the first year. If
you're couponing on a date in the first year, that
relationship is doomed. Mate. I don't think you should cop
on until marriage. It's called me a traditionalist.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
But in my opinion, well, I'm very progressive. I think
if you want to coupon, all the power to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
No, mate, I think couponing should be something safe for marriage.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
You're listening to the Zac and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
We've got Helen in Melbourne. What was your cheap date, Helen?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
I got it?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Hey, you going very well, Helen?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
What happened?
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Oh god, that's invited me out for Lund actually been
chasing me for a little while, and I eventually agreed
to have lunch with him. We met at a really
nice pub and chatted abit and then I said, oh, okay,
what are we going to order for lunch? And he said, oh,
I'm not hungry, you can have something, and I thought, oh.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Okay, so hald On, wait a second. He specifically said
let's get lunch, and then when he got there, said
I'm not hungry.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
That's right. So he just ordered himself a beer. Yeah,
And I ordered my lunch and sat and ate my
lunch in front of him. Then as we were getting
to the end of lunch, he said, do you want
to go out on my boat this afternoon? It's a
really nice day, and he kind of talked the boat
up abits and I thought, okay, okay, yeah, sure, let's
(32:50):
go out on your boat.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
So we both left in our own car to drive
to where his boat was.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
On the way there, he rang me and said, would
you mind picking up some beers?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
This is like, I'm sorry, I'm going to say, Alen,
this is turning into like a lord of the reasons.
So what happened? Did you Did you go on the boat?
Speaker 7 (33:15):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
I picked up the beers, and then when I was
almost at the spot where we had to meet you
rang me again and said, oh, do you have any
money for fuel? I need to put fuel in the boat.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
All right, this is a scam he's running.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
So you fueled the beers, you fueled the fuel, and
you've had your own.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Lunch and.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
He wanted to go fishing.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
He actually wanted to do something else out there, which
didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
It's a lot going on from from Helen's life.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I think what she told producer Maddie was the first
little bit about ordering a lunch, and then some of
that other stuff didn't pass through the filters.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I think if we'd stayed with her a little bit
longer with the story would have eventually caught up till
modern day. We got Russell in Sydney up there in
one a six five Russell. What was the cheap day?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yeah, guys, I had been talking to a lady on
the nest and that force somewhile really nice and everything
she looked fantastic. We decided to actually meet up. It
was outside of George's you know where the movie points are,
(34:37):
and that's in on George Street. And I had ordered
a really top class, very expensive restaurant in Sydney.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
So you go, you've gone fine dining for the first date,
which is a nice call, respectable call. What happened?
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Yeah, address appropriately and everything you know and so forth.
And you won't believe this, she said, Oh, I said
to her, I'll you know, you know, no, I've ordered
this restaurant and she's, uh, you know, it's it. But
it does do ordery meals as well, you know. And
(35:16):
she said, oh, do you mind if we duck over
to Macas across the road and she wanted a thick shake.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
So you booked a fancy restaurant and she just wants a.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Thick shake, yeah, which which I did pay.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
For wrestling in your in your fine dining best suit
or whatever you wanted into a Macas and said, choc
thick shake. Thanks wonderful.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Well, well, actually she was strawberry.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Something more classy than you can't be having a chocolate
thick shake in a fine dining restaurant.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Suld have picked that up. Well, there we go. I mean,
there's two stories of cheap dates and one can go
wrong on a date. We should connect those two.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
That could work.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
We didn't ask if they were happy.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Are you single? Russell?
Speaker 10 (36:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:14):
At the moment I am okay.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Well there we go, thick shakes all around.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Get you Helen's number? Don't we take her out.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
This second time? Is that question for you?
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Hit me?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
When was the last time you read the side of
a cheesels box?
Speaker 4 (36:33):
The size of a cheesel box? Aside, you haven't read
the classics in a while?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Well, I was holding a box of cheesels today. It
was a really big day. And there's like they've and
I don't know when this got introduced, but they've written
like a bio for cheesels, like a narrative arc of.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
A cheesel where cheese has come from.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
More or less it's a bit more of a love
romance story than that. Now, I would like you to
read out the bio on size of a cheesel's box,
but I'd like to give you some music as you do,
So tell me when you're ready to start reading the bayo.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
You got the bio, I'm ready. The Big Cheese kick
it off. You walk into the party and there he is.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
You haven't seen him in years, and now he's in
front of you, looking every bit as delicious as you remember.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Suddenly this play for Laurene Feller was popping up everywhere.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
I wouldn't have said that, doing the rounds at barbecues,
the lighting crowns, even lounging on a picnic blanket out
of playdate.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Okay, he's proven irresistible.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
And after just one bite you remember that the Big
Cheese always knows how to bring the cheese flavored fun
to the party.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Now that's too much, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
It's a bit weird.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
I felt I felt I wanted cheesels until I read
it and then I uncomfortable eating a cheesel. Which part
I think it's the beginning, it starts strong, and also
the party. Yeah, there's a lot going on in there.
The other bit was the bit about you know he's delicious.
I think it's giving. Making the cheesel a person personifying
(38:19):
the cheesel has made it uncomfortable to eat cheesels, big cheese. Yeah, yeah,
I don't think. I don't want this to become a thing.
I'd like to just be able to enjoy food and
beverage without thinking of them as people.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
You want to stick a cheesel on each hand and
have a bit of wholesome fun.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, I don't want to imagine the backstory of this
cheesel as a potential seductive partner, because, like the point is,
if cheesels, if this takes off like what other, you're
gonna be buying a Mars bar and getting there you
know he's waited for you, and now you're here again,
take a big bite soft like this is. I don't
think we want I don't think we're on bios of
(38:56):
food as if they're people like on a dating app,
because that's what it reads like. It reads like buyo
on a dating app. And I don't think we want that.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
On a triggered by dating apps at the moment, not
triggered by.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
What you're telling me.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
You'll come afraid that cheezels are gonna ghost you.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
You'll strike up something.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Things will be going really well, like I don't know
what I did. The Chisels aren't messaging back. I thought
me in the Big Cheese at Something.
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
We are only a few minutes now, Zach away from
hitting Halloween twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
Yes, tomorrow night on the show, a Halloween.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Night Halloween special.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Like it's a late night show. We probably should do something.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Yeah, any ideas?
Speaker 4 (39:45):
No cool? Are we dressing up? Producer Maddie. Have you
thought that we'd dress up? Yes, it is mandatory. I
thought it went without saying. Yeah, what do you have it?
Do you know what you're going to dress up as
you're going to keep it a surprise? Do you have
something in mind?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Sure, let's go with that.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
She doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
You don't know anything that you think Zach and I
should dress up first.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
I feel like you guys should do like a couple
out there interesting.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
The Big Harry.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
We could be Shrek and Fiona.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Yeah, you got a.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Bit more Shrek energy, you reckon, You're a bit more
of an alpha.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Yeah, you got a.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
I just I'm picturing the Jewet when they sing together
at the end of one of the films, and I figure,
you're more Shrek and I more.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
You know what the who the pairing is out of that? Ye?
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Not freaking Trek, Shrek and Donkey.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah, yeah I am Donkey. Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:37):
You like waffles?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
You like?
Speaker 4 (40:40):
We can't do that. We're not dressing up a Shrek.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Are I don't think we're dressing up a Shrek. I
don't think anyone wants that. So what else? What any
thoughts on what we could do? Because if we're going
to do a costume.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
We don't think what are we giving Maddie when you
look at us? Yeah? What do you think?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
And also I need to say, Maddie, it is E's
birthday tomorrow and he's asked for it to be as
low effort as possible. He doesn't want to spend all
day working on this.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
What Okay, first of all, we're going all out for
your boat. There's that.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
But yeah, I think I think some sort of Shrek
theme would be good.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Or how about where's Wally? You said, I look like
where's Wally? Before you do look like but I do
a Where's Wally?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
And I'll do all the other characters and then you
can see if you can spot Zach amongst me.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
Female partner to Where's Wally?
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Isn't there possibly I'm not up to with the.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
Guy in the black and white stripes, He's like.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
What's his name?
Speaker 4 (41:29):
Hamburglar?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Oh, that's what we should do. We should come in
as the McDonald's people.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
I'll be Hamburglar. Yeah, you'd be grim.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
That's the way we can do three costume. Yeah you're Bertie,
you're Bertie yeah, or you could be Mee mccheese.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Someone needs to look into the politics of there was
some corruption going on there.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
I reckon we should be the McDonald characters tomorrow night.
We can look into what those options are. But you've
got a bit of that's going to look that's.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Going to look sponsored though we put photos on.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Yeah, true, I'm not coming as yes, I'm not going
to get you a suit. Where would you even get
a grimmer suit?
Speaker 4 (42:16):
Good point.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
If you find a grimmer suit, I'll wear it for
a day. But you're not going to find a grimmer suit.
I promise you that. That is. We got time for
the show. If you want to hear it back, you

A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Out of that rolls Zach and.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Have you ever.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Feel like this?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Like stange?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
This this happened when seconds? This is Zak and Don.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Here we are back for another week of the podcast.
We've just been having the most wonderful conversation before the show,
just reflecting on free to air TV, the good days
of free to air TV.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We're not going to get it back.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I think, you know, people were pretty negative against free
to air TV when streaming first came in, But I
think we're regretting that a little bit now.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I think we are too.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
We think, well, we said a few harsh words, we
had a bit of fun, yeah, but now we understand
that free to air did have some nice things. I
was talking about how nice it was to flick.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, it was lovely. The Flick's gone, Yeah, it totally is.
And you were also saying the fatigue of starting something.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I think there's a philosophical thing, yes, or psychological rather yeah,
I agree idea that like starting a show feels like
a lot yeah yep, And there's a lot of pressure
on you.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
What show am I going to pick?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm picking this is on me. If I don't like it,
I have.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
To scroll through shows. Maybe I have to look up reviews.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I have to be good. I have to be fully invested.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Am I ready to start from the beginnings?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
But just turning on a TV seeing what's on? Just
kill twenty minutes? Yeah, just flicking around.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Walk into a room. Oh, someone's watching this. I guess
I'll sit down and watch fifteen minutes or got Why.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Not, I've honestly spent the allocated time I had to
watch TV and not watched anything. Yes, yeah, just like
maybe I like some lunch or something. So I sit
down with the sandwich, I start flicking through. I'll finish
the sandwich. I won't find anything, so I'll be like, oh, well,
I guess I'm not watching TV.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I know what you mean.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Whereas back in the day, yep, sit down with your sandwich.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Doctor Phil's on.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I don't like Doctor philm I wouldn't choose to watch it,
but if it's on, yeah, I'll enjoy it.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Well, I eat a sandwich, then I'll get up and leave.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Ready, steady cook, Now, I'm never gonna seek out Ready steady.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Cook, You're not going to watch it on a stream,
not binging.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Ready Steady Cook. I'm not doing that. However, if Ready
Steady Cook's on while I'm having lunch, Ready Steady cooks on?
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I think.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And then you give some research into that, yes, because
there's not as much passive viewing anymore and we miss that.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, just just going and then something get weirdly invested
in Team Capsicum. Yeah it's great, Well, what's he going
to cook? It's a great But this is the thing.
It's sort of like it entices you in by surprise
rather than you making the call. It's like, you know
what it is. People say this with friendships sometimes, you know,
you hear the idea of I feel like I'm making
all the effort. I feel like with TV now we
(02:57):
have to make all the effort.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
We'll produce a matting night work.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Reflecting on flicking between shows, you could watch two shows
at once.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, if you timed it, well, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Watch one for seven minutes, it goes to an ad Yes,
what's happening in this other one?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Just flick back and forth.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Sometimes, if you had multiple family members in the same room,
that was a compromise. You got to they we're going
to change the channel every ad break.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But now I don't know if we're enjoying it more.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I don't think we are.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
No, I'm off streaming services at the moment.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You don't have any. No, I've got Disney plus some
about to get rid of it. And Sarah said, should
we just stick with like some of the free apps
for a while, you know, like SBS and ABC.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And the commercials, the seven plus and whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I'm a bit overpicking what to watch if I hear you,
and I don't want to start from the start yep.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
No, I totally and I actually think the ad break
was good because I think the ad break again, breather,
get a drink, go to the bathroom. I did get
excited for what's on the other side of the ad break.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
We was great used to do, like maybe five years ago,
we had a Survival watch party and we're watching a
couple of Survivor episodes back to back. In America, they
usually do that for the finale. It's like kind of
a super sized episode and we're watching on you know,
one of those online things, you know, like what a
(04:17):
VPN or something, the apps, you know, like your seven
app away. Someone goes like, oh, I still an ad
block here and make it so much easier. It's too much, Yeah,
too much for the party you're with your friends watching,
you want to have the ads to chat about what
you've seen. Yes, without that, we just sat in silence
(04:37):
for ninety minutes and at the end, okay, I guess
we're all going.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
My family used to play guests the ad. Do you
ever do that?
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You're like, who can yell out? What company the ads for?
I love guess the.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Ad one of those great capitalistic but you a red rooster.
You know what blew our minds as kids is my
dad could always predict when the show was coming back
on why Well, his big secret, we found out later,
was because they play a promo to Channel ten. But
as a kid, I couldn't tell the difference between the
nod for Harvey Norman and a promo for Channel ten.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I didn't pick up the pad and.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
We were like mind blown, Like he gets it every.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Go And I was saying, you know, you might watch
a sports game or something, and then immediately after the
game wraps up, they say, oh, now we're doing a
screening of Mission Impossible, and you go, I wasn't planning
on watching Mission Impossible tonight. I wouldn't have picked Mission Impossible,
but it's on, and then you might only watch the
first twenty minutes. But if it's a Bond film or
(05:37):
a Mission Impossible film, often the first twenty minutes of
the best part there's a opening action sequence.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
We're missing watching things because they're on.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yes, I totally agree. I think we got to I
think we're going back to free tooware. I don't think
it's done. I think it's going to have a research.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I honestly, and I'm not joking because I have heard
that Netflix has a randomized function. Really, and I bet
what they'll do is a randomized function that is a
live stream so you can come into different So maybe
they'll have genres. It'll be like they'll have a horror
live stream, they'll have a comedy live stream. And then
we're going to be back to Fox. Aye, I'm get
(06:15):
TV one in no time.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes, and I want AD breaks back to I want
AD breaks.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Back will happen.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeahs You'll start watching these and then look, hey, the
price you're paying per month is too much.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, it was not enough. It's not covering our bills.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
This is it.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
We're going to put a few ads effectively.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
In the long run, we're going to get what we
previously had. We'll get back, but we'll be paying for
it as well.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Exactly what will happen?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
This is where we're going to go. That's like a
media prediction of what lies aired from here.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I was on my start TV the other day and
I couldn't watch one of the free to air apps
because it needed to be updated.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
And I thought free to air never updated.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, turned it on and it was there.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I know, Channel ten, Channel nine, Channel seven.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Whatever. Flick flick flick Now.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Even if I'm in the app and I want to
change to another app, what a pain in the ass
that is? Back to the home screen. I find another app,
wait for it to boot up. Oh, you need to update.
Oh log in? Yes, I had to create an LG
account for my TV. Why do I need an account
to watch TV?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I just want to watch the Simpsons. I just want
to press ten and then ten comes on and I
watch the Simpsons. I honestly what this feels like. It's
like you break up with someone because the world's your oyster,
and you think, well, this relationship is good, but what
else is out there? And then you've gone out there
and you've seen the world, and you've traveled and you've
been exotic, and you go I actually think that was
it for me.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I think we had was at the start.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah. The comfy pair of socks, that's what The comfy slippers,
that's what I want.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I just want that Simpsons at six pm again.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I think we should go to the freeedoares and say
this should be your pitch come back.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I don't even know did life? Does it exist?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
TV? Like I know the apps exist, like the catch
up it exists, it exists.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, so people, there's a technolo you're still around?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
When I bought a new TV last year, I was
surprised to learn that you can't get a non smart TV.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Oh yeah, it's got to be smart, smart and done TVs.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Anyway, look, I will push this effort together to get
free to air TV back. If you're ten to seven, ABC, SBS, whatever,
get in touch nine. We'll work with you. But for now,
let's get to work.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
This is second Tom.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I went on a date a couple of nights ago
Zach from a dating app. First date from a dating app,
and it was going really well. But I'm worried I
did something that might have tried to accelerate the thing
way too quickly.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Now you do have a history of coming in hot,
Yeah I do.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Don't I actually rushing to? You know, didn't you write
that girl like ten pages?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Once there was a girl?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
This was a while ago, I mean I was, I
was quite a bit younger, but I did write someone
after two dates, a three thousand word message. Now hold
on a second, let's just ease right up through. Yeah,
it about It was about my life and my love
and I don't mate. But hey, right now, before you
laugh too hard. We ended up dating a few weeks
(09:12):
later for like a year, and I ended that one.
So that worked, So that for all those people out
there who've been told you're too key, you come on
too strong, it can work. I'm a I'm a true
case story.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
What did you do this time?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
So we were having this this dinner, and I was
talking on the dinner about an upcourring trip I've got
planned to Canada. I'm going to Canada at the end
of December for a bit of time in Canada and
then the US. And we were talking a bit about
bamp and she made some comment about how bamp sounds
amazing and she loves to go to vamp In, you know,
the mountainous town in Canada, and I the vibe was good.
(09:44):
We've been chatting for an hour and a half and
I sort of as you said, do you want to come.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Then on the first date, you invited someone on an
overseas trip.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, and I know that sounds weird.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah, it's a bit weird.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Well, but I was. Look, it was I was reading
the vibe of the moment. It was a bit playful,
it was. I don't think she took it entirely seriously.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
She's like, get out your phone, let's book those tickets.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, I just it was one of those moments where
I thought, in a rom com, In a rom com,
you do this. In a rom comm, you go on
the day.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
There's very few realistic rom comms, though, don't you think,
like true your favorite one about time involves time travel,
for example.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
That's not true now, I understand that, But there is
something about there's something about the heart of a rom
com I think, which involves like an active bravery. Stupidity
and bravery are very close to each.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Other, right, I think a lot of the time.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, the actions in rom comms would be considered weird
and creepy if they happened in real life.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's an interesting point. I should go on a bunch
of dates and do like a rom com road test. Yeah,
just try what happens in rom coms. Yeah, but I
just I was vibing the moment. I thought this was
good and that I thought, wouldn't this be the best story,
Like if we're married twenty years time? Three kids? They said,
tell us the story, Mum and dad, we go. It
was our first date and your father said, do you
want to come to Bamp with me? And I did
(11:05):
and we fell in love. Well, you were in the
snowy mountains of Bamp.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
You have a history of coming on hot, but you
also have a history of going cold quickly.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Can you imagine you go on this.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Big holiday, you're like thirty hour flight away from home,
and you decide that you're not interested in this person anymore.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Then what do you do?
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well that's where the rom com turns into just a
straight out comedy, I dare say, But it's only a
few nights in Bamp. That was just the idea, wouldn't
it be cool? Wouldn't it be spontaneous? Yeah, don't you
feel like life is too programmed? Wouldn't it be best?
Like great if life could be a bit more spontaneous.
That's all I was getting at. Look, I haven't heard
from her following up the bamp proposal since the dinner.
(11:44):
Do you think she might have taken it as a joke.
I think she might have, and I didn't mean it
as a joke. Yeah, I seriously would have been up
for that. I think that would have been like, I
think that would have been a lot of fun.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I think it would have been fun idea. I think
practically there's a few issues.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Like, well, well you've been on what like one hundred
first dates over the last couple of years. It's something
like there's been a bunch, and how many went past
first date?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
It came not many, So I'm saying that, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
The history is that it doesn't work out, and do
you want to find that out in a foreign country.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But I think sometimes you got just got to do something.
What's Einstein's stupidity thing, the same thing, expecting different results.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You've got to try something new.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Well that's what they say.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Anyway, you've got to try Facebook.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
A swan of my aunt's shared it. I think you've
got to try something new, look thirteen one oh six five.
I'm sure this must have worked before. How quickly did
things escalate?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
You do hear stories of people getting married within a
couple of.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Weeks, right, right, or engaged really quickly.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
They seem happy, you know ten years later?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yes? Did you go on one date or you met
once and suddenly you were living together within a few months,
you were traveling together. Did things escalate really really quickly?
And was that a good thing or a bad thing?
Because maybe, Zach, maybe when you meet the person and
you know, you just know, and you're like, why wait,
that's got to be possible.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Though, maybe you've done something similar to dom. Yeah, first date, Hey,
let's go overseas. Yeah, and then a few days later
you're in Bali.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's it, that's it. Well, I reckon this sort of
spontaneity can actually be the spark that gets love going sometimes.
So look, we are asking thirteen one oh sixty five,
how quickly did things escalate? Jillian in Melbourne? What was
your story?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
So?
Speaker 7 (13:25):
I was seeing a guy, like just walking up with him,
but nothing official. Then we started actually dating, and six
weeks later got engaged.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Six week so six weeks of dating and you engaged?
And was this a spontaneous proposal or did you sit
down and have a chat about it?
Speaker 8 (13:42):
No, it wasn't planned.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
We were actually just out drunk in a bar, completely drunk,
and he just asked and I said yes. The next
morning we sort of went did we get engaged last night?
Are we doing this? And we went yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Wow?
Speaker 8 (13:54):
And yeah, we're engaged totally.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
Our family so, our friends and.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Are you still together now?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Ye've been married for thirteen years?
Speaker 7 (14:01):
See that, this is what it means together.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Sometimes you take a spontaneous sort of leap, You take
a leap of faith and look what can happen? I
mean that sounds dramatic, and I imagine Gillian's friends probably
were saying, what do you do in Jillian? It's been
six weeks, but it's worked.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
That's more than one day though, that's true. Karen's in Melbourne.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Karen, where did things escalate too quickly or very quickly?
Speaker 9 (14:23):
Well?
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Firstly, I'm a South African. I met my husband in Taiwan.
He's a Canadian. We started dating. There were lots of
sleepovers within two months as a joke, because you know,
boys never just move in with girls. That's a big commitment.
And as a joke, I was like, you live here
most of the time, you should just move in, and
he was like, oh, if my gym moves in, then
(14:45):
I move in. And I was like, oh okay. Then again,
didn't think it would happen, and that conversation happened like
a Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday mornings, the doorbell rings. The shortest
Taiwanese man have we ever seen to together with my
now husband, I standing with his lock Stock and Beryl,
and we've been together now twenty years. We've traveled the world.
(15:06):
It's been with me twice through cancer, and I would
never change anything in my life.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
There you go, isn't it we're talking about? So you're
jokingly throughout you should move in and we could start
a whole life together. Next thing you know, married twenty
years and life's gone wonderfully. This is exactly what I'm
talking about, Zach. With your cynicism over there saying spontaneous
spontanadi doesn't work, it should follow a measured process.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I've never seen any of this you're putting a lot
of words in my mouth. I said that you shouldn't
go overseas with someone you met on a first date.
When this is like your.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
One trip for the year.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
It's like you're putting all this investment into it, and
I made it could go wrong on the first day
and or ruin your whole trip.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Well, let's see what Amy in Sydney thinks. Thirty one
oh six five? How quickly did things escalate? What happened
to you? Amy?
Speaker 10 (15:52):
So I went overseas. I went to Singapore and was
talking to the guy I meant on hinds. Our first
date was when he picked me up from the airport.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (16:04):
Actually hit things off within moments. I was like, this
guy is amazing. And then he stayed with me for
the duration of the troop. I was in single for
five days and we're still in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Wow, and you've come back to Australia though, So is
it long distance?
Speaker 10 (16:23):
Yes, we're in a long distance relationship. I met him
in September, early September and I could be flying back
in November.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Gosh, okay, So Amy, what's your advice to me? Then?
I mean, if I on a first stand, I'm getting
a good vibe off someone an hour and a half
in and after out? Do you want to come to
Canada with me? Do you from your experience do you think, yeah,
go for it? Or do you? For you? Is that
even a step too far?
Speaker 10 (16:48):
I think if the vibe is there, like you've had
phone calls with them, and you know you're getting like
a good you know vibe, there's good energy, yeah, I
think for it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
May it didn't sound at all convinced, Dave.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Have you been having phone calls?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
No, it's the first time we've spoken. No, Okay, but
you know what, Amy, I'm going to give you a
fifty dollars red roost about you anyway, just for you know,
supporting me even if your heart wasn't really in it.
Thank you for that. And I honestly think, Zach, I
mean what we're hearing there is follow your heart Australia.
When something deep in you says this is the way forward,
doesn't matter if it seems dramatic, if it seems too soon,
(17:24):
just jump in, don't you reckon?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I do?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I do.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That's the I think it's a beautiful time to end on.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Say my pay, Say my pay? Tell us what you
do and what they pay you for.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
If this is our national pay survey, give us a
call on thirteen one oh six five. All you do
is give us your job titled you stay anonymous outside
of that, yes, and we're going to try to.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Gauge your wage. Guess how much you get paid.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That's how it works basically, So any job that you
might do, give us a call on any one O
six five to play say my pay. We're kicking it
off with a transport coordinator. What does a transport coordinator do?
Speaker 9 (18:08):
So basically whatever company books jobbed in and then I
allocate the work to a driver who will then deliver
it to a customer. So it's basically business the customer.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
So it's like.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Mission control for delivery items pretty much.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
We have learned that there is weird money in transportation generally.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Well trains, Yes, a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Do you know what I says?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
We thought less?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So we've never heard from boats how much the people
involved in boats?
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Soon?
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Do they have a good living? Who? I don't know? Captains?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Captains captain would be a lot'd be fascinated to find.
It depends you know if they're on like a big
cruise ship. I reckon that captain would be on a
fair bit true.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Good point. And also you get the buffet every day.
That's a pretty great gig.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Get to go to some comic in do you get
first first crack at the buffet?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
I would imagine, so.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
No one touch till the captain's been We'll follow that up.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
What do you think for mission control for delivery?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
No idea. I'm going to say sixty.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I reckon i'd be a bit more. That's an important job.
People get angry and they don't get their parcels eighty two?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Transport coordinator eighty two. That's never happened. That has never
happened in the history of this game. It's a bullseye.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Wow, I've never had a bullseye in Are you feeling
different tonight?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I didn't think a lot. I've got the new socks on.
You know, you told me to get where cooler socks.
You tell me angle socks are out, So I said, yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
It was a threat.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Yeah, cooler socks or you're not going to be welcome
back into the studio. And I were looking out for
you because we were saying, Hey, the gen Z's are
going to roast you for those socks?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Am I rocking the cool socks?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
And maybe I'm better at the game. Now, let's continue
it with the correctional officer. I'm thirty and one oh
six five.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
How long you've been in the game for correctional officer?
About three months? Three months?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
What were you doing before?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I'm working in another law enforcement, well, local government.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
And correctional officers in a jail, right.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
That's correct?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Is it a scary job or is it safer than
we might think?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Probably safer than you think.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, okay, interesting, Well I feel like that's pressure on
because I've all.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
What are you thinking? Do you want me to give
you a ballpark? Please?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You can time?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah, I think eighty.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I think it's a bit less if you're only a
few months in, maybe like a seventy four and a half.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
He's going specific.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
What is it, correctional officer seventy two?
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Oh, you were on fire?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
What is going on? Man? It's the socks.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
There's something magic about them.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I think there is salary socks.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
This is I'm thirty this year. I just said there recently.
If I'd known that the secret was just changing the
socks earlier. My whole life could have gone differently.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Now, what job is this?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Oh, cable hauler? On thirteen one oh six five? What
is a cable haul? Cable hauler? Are you there?
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
So? Hello? What what what do you do?
Speaker 10 (21:08):
So?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
I'm a contractor for electricians.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, so you haul cable? I guess.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, we pull that big cable, big high voltage cable.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Wait, like power lines.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Not necessarily, but the underground ones.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
I've heard of some copper theft going on recently. Does
that happen in your line of work?
Speaker 10 (21:31):
Not?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Really?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Do you know the little gray boxes out the front
of your house? Yes, yeah, we run powerful like those
in your states, or the new factories we do.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
There you go, I've just googled it.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
It is a real job. I was worried for a
second someone was having us on cable. Well, you know,
if you're like laying cable. Yeah, that's what people might
say when you're doing it.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Food. I thought someone might be trying to pull the
wall here. No, that's a real job.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Okay, Well let's see how I can go here. What
are you thinking? You did ballpark the first time?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I don't really know what it is.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
If you weren't thinking about Pooh, you would have heard
him explain.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, but so that they probably are an electrician.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
He lays the cable in a newer state.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Yeah, yeah, so there you'd be an electrician.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Yeah, contract for electricians. He said, all this, what are
you thinking?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Eighty five?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I reckon it might be a tiny bit more ninety one?
What is it? Cable hauler?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, it's around that thousand.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Unbelievable. I just this is a perfect game. I just
played a perfect game.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
You've never been this good at anything in your life.
He's family, found his team. All you need to do
is find some socks.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
This is second time massive relief for my wife and
I dom because we have completed what else say, is
our first real child's birthday party. My daughter Peaches had a.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Three three year old birthday party over the weekend the
Big Three, and.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
This is kind of the first one that she's known. Yeah,
that's it because she was kind of understood. But three,
you know, she's putting requests in, she's asking for presents,
she's asking for cakes. She keeps talking about my party,
my party.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I reckon, if you did like a graph of enjoyment
of birthdays. It really starts going up, but three probably
peeps at eight or nine, and then it sort of
goes down from that point on.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Well, she had a great time, massive relief. It went
really well.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Actually, there's so much that goes with kids' birthdays.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
There's so much pressure on them because there's a lot
of questions, right, are you gonna do? Are you gonna
have a pinata? You're gonna do pin the tail on
the donkey with them?
Speaker 4 (23:40):
And I'll say yes or no, okay, past.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
The parcel, yes, oh, well done, pin the tail on
the donkey. No pinada?
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Pinada?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Is that culturally appropriate? We allowed pinadas?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Of course, you're allowed pinarders.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, what just feels South American?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, but so Ana chose.
Speaker 4 (24:04):
Because it wearing sombre is probably is frowned upon.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Right. I still think they do it at the cricket sometimes,
don't they? I mean should they? I don't know? Can
we Can you get away wearing sombreros?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
I don't know, but you can.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Wear an You could probably wear it as.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Sun safety yeah yeah, yeah, but it was like.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I mean, if you put an accent on while you're
doing the pinard is that's obviously not okay. But if
you're just playing a pinarda, that's totally just asking.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
We don't know. If we don't ask, that's true.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
We should be allowed to have open conversations.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I don't disagree, and we have had one.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Is okay?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Apparently bash that that donkey? That's the pinada donkey.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Generally it went really well and there's a massive relief afterwards,
because you know there's a lot going on. We tried
to keep it pretty low key. I was in charge
of fairy bread, smashed it out in the park.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Done, tell me your recipe.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
So I went white bread, butter and sprinkles.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
How thick was the layer of butter though, because that's
the question medium thickness.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
That was a sized online for not going thick enough?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Interesting? And was the bread like slightly? Did you have
it in the fridge for a bit to cool the
whole bread down, because otherwise the bread goes a bit
crusty at the end. Made I know my fairy bread,
you do because.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
You used to have fairy bread every afternoon.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, I loved it. I know my fairy bread.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
But to you that you meant to have it just
for parties life hack.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Yeah, you're an everyday fairy bread guy.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I was an everyday fairy bread guy.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yeah, what type of hundreds and thousands multi colored circles?
Of course multico You might go like the flat ones.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
No no no no, no no no, you're an idiot if
you're doing that. Yeah, the only way to do.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I thought you might mix it up.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
No, get the right recipe, stick with it. So you
nailed the fairy bread. The gifts all went well. For
gifts went well, cake went well. There was one moment
that was funny though.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
My nephew, who is six years old, right, he wrote
his own card, which is very nice of him.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It's very cute. So you opened the car his idea
or his parents hard to know.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
I got the impression of his idea because he also
made the card nice and it was like stapled together,
Oh beautiful. He offered to read it for everyone there.
There's probably like twenty of my extended family live.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You don't often get a live reading of the card
and a birthday.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
It started with chapter one, is what he announced to everyone,
and he starts reading the story about a cat. I
got to chapter two, continued something about the cat got
to chapter three, I thought, wow, this is the first
birthday card I've heard with chapters.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, the narrative arc.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
After he finished, I got the card to have a
look at it. Gibberish on the inside making the whole
thing up.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Well what that shows. It's clearly a skilled improm.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Created the Zac and Tom podcast he done thirteen one
oh six five. Have you ever been on a petty date?
Has your partner on the date revealed themselves to be?
I guess extremely cheap?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Bit of a cheap scape this.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Or he's in the news today about a woman who
went on a date with a guy. She offered to
pay half. You know, a nice thing to do.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Yeah, we'll go go half.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Yeah it's twenty twenty three. You go up at the
end and you say, I'll cover my half. You cover
your half.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
He denied it. I guess you know he's trying to
show off a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Well that's the idea, you know, your first day, put
your best foot forward. I get that that. I reckon
what's happened so far, happens on the majority of dates.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
See he turns it down. Don't be silly, I've got
this covered. The next day he wakes up and he
sends her a message that says, good morning, had a
great time last night. After thinking it over, I think
I'll take you up on that splitting. I'm going to
the game today and I didn't realize how much I
spent last night.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Lol. Can you vemo me fifty bucks?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
He's pretty bold, right, I mean, firstly, that's an admission
that that relationship's not going any further. You think, so
there's no way to do that, and then ask for
a second date.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
But in that case, then why would they pay What
do you mean, why would you pay half?
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Well, if you knew you were never going to see
the person.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
If he said he didn't realize how much he spent
the last night, it sounds like he's had a few
drinks and maybe he wasn't fully with it in that instance,
and then the next morning thought that's not going any
further and I could get fifty bucks back.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
The woman said that she only spent twenty five dollars,
so she didn't even owe fifty dollars. And she said, yeah,
the rest of the seventy five to make it one
hundred was him buying drinks.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
And how did she respond to this text?
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Because that's a pretty good one.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Yeah, what'd she go with?
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Good morning?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
That offer expired after we left the restaurant, have fun
at the game with no money?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Good year, that's very good year. Yeah. I mean, look,
when you're negotiating a bill in any instance, when you're
negotiating the split of a bill once it's been paid
and everyone's agreed, that's like a contract. We're done now.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Because you can't chase it up.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Well, what's the window of opportunity? Like, could I say
to you, Zach, we went for a cafe breakfast in
twenty seventeen and I paid for your breakfast. Can you
pay me back?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Now?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I've decided I do want that back.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
I gave you a birthday present twenty seventeen, and I've
decided it.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Wasn't a birthday present. You owe me for it.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's it. Like you can't reneg down the track. You
kind of have to pick a story and stick to it.
Otherwise the whole system's gonna go out the window. You
can't do that.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Thirteen one oh six five. Have you been on a
petty date? Someone cheaped out a little bit?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Don't be in a cheap date, and we don't need
the name of the cheap date or anything. Well, you
just love to hear so that the single people of
Australia can know what to keep an eye out for.
What how cheap are they? What are cheap skate's doing
on dates?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Producer Matter, You had a petty guy once, didn't you?
Speaker 6 (29:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (29:31):
I did.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
I went on a first date with a guy and
we were at a bar and to start the date,
I walked in and I was like, hey, you look amazing,
and he proceeded to tell me how expensive his shoes
and his shirt were. They were like imported leather and
all these things cost eight hundred dollars, like really going
all out. And then we walk up the bar and
(29:53):
he says, now you auder your drink, I'll order mine.
I think we should just, you know, pay for our
own stuff. Due to the day and age, you should
just pay for your own.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Well, I mean, that's fine, splitting it, but not after
you brag about being such a high roll.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Well, you can't have it both ways.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I also don't think you should ever be saying the
phrase in this day and age on a first date.
I don't.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
It's not kind of lighthearted, No, it really isn't.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
And I mean it's one thing to say, hey, like
to just order your drink or say I think we
should order our own drinks. It's another to link it
to the political moment. I just think you don't need
to make that heavy man. I just like, well, Maddie,
it was early in the date, and did this like
in that moment, were you pretty much ready to go?
This doesn't need to go any further. I can go home.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah, the vibe was off immediately after that.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Did you leave or no? I stayed.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
I bought my own drinks and then we never went
on another date.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Okay, wosing out on the fancy shoes.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I know, Maddie, you could have. You could have admired
the fancy shoes. There's something in that that in one
six five we'd love to hear from petty dates, cheap dates.
I'm in a cheap date someone maybe maybe at the
end they asked for the receipt and they're sort of going, well,
I was this one and you ordered that drink and
that you.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Use a coupon.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
That's coup on a first date?
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Can I I don't have many dates in before a
coupon A.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Year of date. I reckon you can't coep on.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
I reckon five, you could, oh well, the fifth date
you can coop on.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
No, you cannot coup on in the first year. If
you're couponing on a date in the first year, that
relationship is doomed. Mate. I don't think you should cop
on until marriage. It's called me a traditionalist.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
But in my opinion, well, I'm very progressive. I think
if you want to coupon, all the power to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
No, mate, I think couponing should be something safe for marriage.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
You're listening to the Zac and Dom podcast.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
We've got Helen in Melbourne. What was your cheap date, Helen?
Speaker 8 (31:52):
I got it?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Hey, you going very well, Helen?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
What happened?
Speaker 8 (31:57):
Oh god, that's invited me out for Lund actually been
chasing me for a little while, and I eventually agreed
to have lunch with him. We met at a really
nice pub and chatted abit and then I said, oh, okay,
what are we going to order for lunch? And he said, oh,
I'm not hungry, you can have something, and I thought, oh.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Okay, so hald On, wait a second. He specifically said
let's get lunch, and then when he got there, said
I'm not hungry.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
That's right. So he just ordered himself a beer. Yeah,
And I ordered my lunch and sat and ate my
lunch in front of him. Then as we were getting
to the end of lunch, he said, do you want
to go out on my boat this afternoon? It's a
really nice day, and he kind of talked the boat
up abits and I thought, okay, okay, yeah, sure, let's
(32:50):
go out on your boat.
Speaker 5 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
So we both left in our own car to drive
to where his boat was.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Sure.
Speaker 8 (32:58):
On the way there, he rang me and said, would
you mind picking up some beers?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
This is like, I'm sorry, I'm going to say, Alen,
this is turning into like a lord of the reasons.
So what happened? Did you Did you go on the boat?
Speaker 7 (33:15):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
I picked up the beers, and then when I was
almost at the spot where we had to meet you
rang me again and said, oh, do you have any
money for fuel? I need to put fuel in the boat.
Speaker 4 (33:27):
All right, this is a scam he's running.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
So you fueled the beers, you fueled the fuel, and
you've had your own.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Lunch and.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
He wanted to go fishing.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
He actually wanted to do something else out there, which
didn't happen.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
It's a lot going on from from Helen's life.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
I think what she told producer Maddie was the first
little bit about ordering a lunch, and then some of
that other stuff didn't pass through the filters.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
I think if we'd stayed with her a little bit
longer with the story would have eventually caught up till
modern day. We got Russell in Sydney up there in
one a six five Russell. What was the cheap day?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Yeah, guys, I had been talking to a lady on
the nest and that force somewhile really nice and everything
she looked fantastic. We decided to actually meet up. It
was outside of George's you know where the movie points are,
(34:37):
and that's in on George Street. And I had ordered
a really top class, very expensive restaurant in Sydney.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
So you go, you've gone fine dining for the first date,
which is a nice call, respectable call. What happened?
Speaker 5 (34:53):
Yeah, address appropriately and everything you know and so forth.
And you won't believe this, she said, Oh, I said
to her, I'll you know, you know, no, I've ordered
this restaurant and she's, uh, you know, it's it. But
it does do ordery meals as well, you know. And
(35:16):
she said, oh, do you mind if we duck over
to Macas across the road and she wanted a thick shake.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
So you booked a fancy restaurant and she just wants a.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Thick shake, yeah, which which I did pay.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
For wrestling in your in your fine dining best suit
or whatever you wanted into a Macas and said, choc
thick shake. Thanks wonderful.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Well, well, actually she was strawberry.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Something more classy than you can't be having a chocolate
thick shake in a fine dining restaurant.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Suld have picked that up. Well, there we go. I mean,
there's two stories of cheap dates and one can go
wrong on a date. We should connect those two.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
That could work.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
We didn't ask if they were happy.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Are you single? Russell?
Speaker 10 (36:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:14):
At the moment I am okay.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Well there we go, thick shakes all around.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Get you Helen's number? Don't we take her out.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
This second time? Is that question for you?
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Hit me?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
When was the last time you read the side of
a cheesels box?
Speaker 4 (36:33):
The size of a cheesel box? Aside, you haven't read
the classics in a while?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Well, I was holding a box of cheesels today. It
was a really big day. And there's like they've and
I don't know when this got introduced, but they've written
like a bio for cheesels, like a narrative arc of.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
A cheesel where cheese has come from.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
More or less it's a bit more of a love
romance story than that. Now, I would like you to
read out the bio on size of a cheesel's box,
but I'd like to give you some music as you do,
So tell me when you're ready to start reading the bayo.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
You got the bio, I'm ready. The Big Cheese kick
it off. You walk into the party and there he is.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
You haven't seen him in years, and now he's in
front of you, looking every bit as delicious as you remember.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
Suddenly this play for Laurene Feller was popping up everywhere.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
I wouldn't have said that, doing the rounds at barbecues,
the lighting crowns, even lounging on a picnic blanket out
of playdate.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Okay, he's proven irresistible.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
And after just one bite you remember that the Big
Cheese always knows how to bring the cheese flavored fun
to the party.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Now that's too much, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
It's a bit weird.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
I felt I felt I wanted cheesels until I read
it and then I uncomfortable eating a cheesel. Which part
I think it's the beginning, it starts strong, and also
the party. Yeah, there's a lot going on in there.
The other bit was the bit about you know he's delicious.
I think it's giving. Making the cheesel a person personifying
(38:19):
the cheesel has made it uncomfortable to eat cheesels, big cheese. Yeah, yeah,
I don't think. I don't want this to become a thing.
I'd like to just be able to enjoy food and
beverage without thinking of them as people.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
You want to stick a cheesel on each hand and
have a bit of wholesome fun.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
Yeah, I don't want to imagine the backstory of this
cheesel as a potential seductive partner, because, like the point is,
if cheesels, if this takes off like what other, you're
gonna be buying a Mars bar and getting there you
know he's waited for you, and now you're here again,
take a big bite soft like this is. I don't
think we want I don't think we're on bios of
(38:56):
food as if they're people like on a dating app,
because that's what it reads like. It reads like buyo
on a dating app. And I don't think we want that.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
On a triggered by dating apps at the moment, not
triggered by.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
What you're telling me.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
You'll come afraid that cheezels are gonna ghost you.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
You'll strike up something.
Speaker 3 (39:20):
Things will be going really well, like I don't know
what I did. The Chisels aren't messaging back. I thought
me in the Big Cheese at Something.
Speaker 8 (39:30):
Zack and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (39:32):

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Yeah, any ideas?
Speaker 4 (39:45):
No cool? Are we dressing up? Producer Maddie. Have you
thought that we'd dress up? Yes, it is mandatory. I
thought it went without saying. Yeah, what do you have it?
Do you know what you're going to dress up as
you're going to keep it a surprise? Do you have
something in mind?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Sure, let's go with that.
Speaker 4 (40:00):
She doesn't know.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
You don't know anything that you think Zach and I
should dress up first.
Speaker 6 (40:04):
I feel like you guys should do like a couple
out there interesting.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
The Big Harry.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
We could be Shrek and Fiona.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Yeah, you got a.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Bit more Shrek energy, you reckon, You're a bit more
of an alpha.
Speaker 4 (40:21):
Yeah, you got a.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
I just I'm picturing the Jewet when they sing together
at the end of one of the films, and I figure,
you're more Shrek and I more.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
You know what the who the pairing is out of that? Ye?
Speaker 4 (40:34):
Not freaking Trek, Shrek and Donkey.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah, yeah I am Donkey. Yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:37):
You like waffles?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
You like?
Speaker 4 (40:40):
We can't do that. We're not dressing up a Shrek.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Are I don't think we're dressing up a Shrek. I
don't think anyone wants that. So what else? What any
thoughts on what we could do? Because if we're going
to do a costume.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
We don't think what are we giving Maddie when you
look at us? Yeah? What do you think?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
And also I need to say, Maddie, it is E's
birthday tomorrow and he's asked for it to be as
low effort as possible. He doesn't want to spend all
day working on this.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
What Okay, first of all, we're going all out for
your boat. There's that.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
But yeah, I think I think some sort of Shrek
theme would be good.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Or how about where's Wally? You said, I look like
where's Wally? Before you do look like but I do
a Where's Wally?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
And I'll do all the other characters and then you
can see if you can spot Zach amongst me.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
Female partner to Where's Wally?
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Isn't there possibly I'm not up to with the.
Speaker 6 (41:25):
Guy in the black and white stripes, He's like.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
What's his name?
Speaker 4 (41:29):
Hamburglar?
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Oh, that's what we should do. We should come in
as the McDonald's people.
Speaker 4 (41:36):
I'll be Hamburglar. Yeah, you'd be grim.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
That's the way we can do three costume. Yeah you're Bertie,
you're Bertie yeah, or you could be Mee mccheese.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Someone needs to look into the politics of there was
some corruption going on there.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
I reckon we should be the McDonald characters tomorrow night.
We can look into what those options are. But you've
got a bit of that's going to look that's.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Going to look sponsored though we put photos on.
Speaker 1 (42:07):

a grimmer suit?

a day. But you're not going to find a grimmer suit.
