Speaker 1 (00:02):
A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that busy
beat rolls Zach, And.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Have you ever.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Have a felt like this?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Like stage this happens.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
When second kiss.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
This is zac and dom.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (00:32):
Yes, it's Monday night and it's good to be alive, Zach.
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm great, man, I'm happy. We're launching into the week.
What are we ten days away from Easter?
Speaker 7 (00:42):
Yep, you can. I had a for a share. Have
you seen those ones? It's not a bunny, it's a
squirrel because the hazel nuts.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Because you eat a lot of Easter eggs, you just
buy for yourself in the lead up and snack on them. Yeah,
tell everyone I'm single. Why don't you No, I'm just
explaining why you're talking about eating Easter eggs ten it's abnormal.
A lot of people do that.
Speaker 7 (01:02):
And I bought a feroshair little squirrel was lovely, because
this is the thing is a celiac. You can't get
for a rashare gluten free the rest of the year,
but Easter comes around and do you stuck up?
Speaker 8 (01:13):
No?
Speaker 7 (01:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Why not on coping with it? Well?
Speaker 7 (01:16):
I also don't stuck up on candy canes at Christmas.
I'm happy for that to be once.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
A year thing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Now. You were once abused in a shot for eating
Easter egg weren't you?
Speaker 7 (01:24):
We wouldn't say abused. Just as I ate an Easter bunny,
a guy walked past me and said, oh, leave some
for the rest of us.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
So it does seem like that maybe not everyone does it.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
Yeah, well I'm not that guy. We're going to take
you are the king of telling me dom. Anecdotal evidence
should not be taken as quantitative, qualitative, whatever that one is.
So you can't claim that a lot of people do it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, there's one on the side of not doing it.
Is there anyone else you've seen? Have you ever been
walking around the supermarket and you give a little nod
to someone who's also.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
The Easter chocolate popped up in the shot two months ago.
You think people who are buying it back then were
buying it and storing it away for three months.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I don't think anyone intentionally ate it. I think there'd
be parents out there who had a peckish night they said,
is there any chocolate in this house? They found it
in the back of the fridge and the like we'll
replace it later. I don't think people are making kind.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Of like yeah, okay, well you know what to anyone
listening right now who's enjoying some Easter chocolate. I'm on
your side. Zach's the problem, not us. Hey, big show
coming up, mate. They're awful news for anyone named Michael. Really,
just worrying news that's come out today. If your name
is Michael, if there's a Michael in your life, you're
going to be really confronted by what you hear that.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The Krindle report was released today and it was damning
for Michael.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
It's honestly like, if I was a Michael, I would
just feel really rattled today because it's almost like your
whole identity as a Michael is probably about to be
shaken with this news.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It could be the future of Michaels are in trouble.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
We're going to get there shortly. Coming up after this, though,
Zach producer Claire has been working with us for a
few months now since she actually joined the Zachendom team,
and we have just discovered that Claire has an ability
to do something, a special talent of secret ability that
we had no idea about that. We're slightly spooked by.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
This is second tom.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Political moment, a bit of an embarrassing one over the
weekend where Peter Dudd and the opposition leader, the guy
who's trying to be prime minister. He was doing a
little bit of like a fun media moment where he
kicked a footy around. He kicked the ball into the cameraman,
split in the guy's head open. There wasn't a great look.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Now, you can hear it, the moment of impact really
in this clip.
Speaker 9 (03:43):
Yes, open too again, he's all right, that's your exclusive
vision to held on to that.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
You can hear there. He doesn't quite know whether to
laugh at off.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I think he's panicking, yes' because you remember a few
years ago Scomo tackled that kid and it wasn't a
good moment for no. And I think Peter didn't want
to rush anything. And I think he's a little bit worried. Now.
I'm not a political guy, but I think split him
open wasn't the right call. I think maybe doing a
(04:22):
little jog over there, yeah, oh no man, are you okay? Yes, hey,
just check your right before we move on. I think
maybe that.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Would have been the right thing to do or politically,
he could have leaned in and gone see that guy.
That's what Albo's doing to Australia.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's what I think of mainstream media. Yes, yeah, the
guy was a Channel ten camera man.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Yeah, that would have been great. Yeah wow, Well certain
demographic at one point is it would have been aggressive.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Right, So you're saying one way or the other. Yeah,
you got to.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Lean in or back out. Yeah, that's that's his problem here.
If you're gonna if you're going to kick a football
at someone, you either have to really quickly go I'm
so sorry or intend that it will say that you
and ended it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Thirteen one or six y five. What hit in the head? Yep,
it doesn't have to be from a Prime minister. Extra
points if it was, I don't think we're going to
get those calls. But it happens from time to time.
This cameraman was looking through the lens, so he didn't
really I mean, obviously he knew the ball was coming,
that was what he was shooting, but he didn't know
exactly where it was. Yeah, and that happens in life. Well,
(05:23):
the thing is to get hit in the head by something.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
The head is a significant sized part of the body,
also the highest part of the body. So something's come
with you. It gets the head first. There's numerous reasons
that the head would end up entangled.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I remember in high school, just mind in my own business,
walking along, got a carrot to the head. What do
you mean you my friend for some reason through a
carrot across the school yard hit me in the head.
And if you get hit by something you're not expecting,
it really is a surprise. Yes, And you wouldn't think
a carrot was that heavy. It felt like I was
(05:57):
punching the.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
Jaw from a carrot.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, carrot like a big cat carrot stick. Someone have
a full carrot at school nutrition. I think he had
issues with I sight. He wanted to improve nighttime I understand.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
But like normally you'd cut the carrot up in little sticks.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You gte it bugs bunny stuf. I mean good for him, Yeah,
he could throw that guy.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
Well, his eyesight worked out, clearly he was he was.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
A good cricketer.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Right, you've been hit in the head, have you What
does that even mean?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
I have been. I mean numerous, there's too many stories
to count. There was one time actually where I was
walking at a park and my friends were like climbing
the tree and I wasn't going to climb the tree,
but I walked under the tree and one of the
branches fell down from the tree straight onto my head.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now on purpose that your friends didn't break the branch.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
It was too big a branch that would be considered
a salt had they intended it. And did it leave
any damage, not that I'm aware of.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Do you remember the instance?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Yeah, yeah, I've only been like completely concussed once in
my life, and that what happened. Then I ran into
a tree stump. It's a lot of true. Well, I
was playing touch football with a friend and I was
out on the wing in his backyard and I was
just looking inwards for the past. So I ran it fullpout,
looking for the past. Didn't see the tree stump in
front of me.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
When have you been hit in the head? Thirteen one
sixty five.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Danny in Sydney. This is when you were a kid, Danny.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Hi, guys? So unfortunately, I was in an athletics carnival
and I was so intent on getting over to the
marshaling area, had my head down boulting like nobody's business.
And next thing you know, out of the blue, from
the side comes another kid in his head just connected
with mine and I ended up with internal bleeding.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Oh no, that's not what you want, is it?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Head clash? They seem to happen when you're a kid
a lot more than an as an adult.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Yeah, I guess because you still haven't figured out your
own pace as a kid.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, so they don't look where they're going a lot.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
You also run a lot more as a kid than
an adult.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And you're confident running without looking.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Yeah you are, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
My little kids right, I've got a two year old.
They just have these rockheads that they throw around. Yeah,
they often throw them back, throw them forward. I don't
know if they have less nerves in their head, but
their fine head.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Buddy. We got Bella on thirty one A six five.
This is when you were working in a retail store, Bella,
what did you in the head?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
So basically I was doing a visual merchandising.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Move and.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
The ladder was leaned up against two walls. When I
tell you, there is no absolute way it could have moved.
I was bending over to grab something and all of
a sudden I got smashed on the top of the
head by this ladder.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Well, the ladder just collapsed on you.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
So it was like those big tool industrial ladders. The
best way to explain it was it was like a
little hallway and it was leaning up against both walls,
so the only way it could have fallen is on
the left or the right hand side, and it just
toppled over out of nowhere. Like I'm still baffled to
this day as to how the ladder fell.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
I mean, I'd look into Peter Dunton.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Was he present.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I'm just I'm not. I'm just saying allegedly, was like.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
One of those math problems you get in high I
did feel like the ladder was the ladder was above
the hallway. Yes, E's like a riddle, something you'd solved
to get out of an escape root. It's like, how
did it fall?
Speaker 7 (09:33):
What's your answer? What do you reckon? Um?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I think it shrunk? Ah, you know, like the classic
one with the ice Yeah, I find they find a
dead body in.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
A pool of water.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
What happened? It's an ice pick? It melted.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
Yeah, I'm supposed that's never popped up on one of
those detective shows.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It would have one of them.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
You reckon, Yeah, you reckon. Monk solved that one Once
upon a time, possibly six FI asking what hit you
in the head, Joe in Sydney?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
What got you Joe?
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Well, my auntie she was having an argument with an
ex partner. Now, yeah, so my auntie was arguing with
my uncle and I'm just walking, you know, just walking
innoctantly as I'm walking outside, and then my uncle just
runs right past me. And I didn't realize, but my
(10:26):
my auntie had pegged the coffee mugt and my uncle.
It must have been, you know, really serious argument. But
instead of hitting my unkle with hit me on the
top of my head.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, that's just a sad story.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
That's a really sad story with some heavy themes.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah. Yeah, because I think we had ritten down got
hit in the head with the coffee mug. We thought
it was kind of high. We brought the kind of
argument into it. That's where it kind of got a
lot heavier, didn't it.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
There's not a lot of room. Do you want to
get back to the ladder occasion? Did that matter fall over?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
No one knows.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Say My Pay, Say my Pay? Tell us what you
do and what they pay you for.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And this is our national pay survey. Thirteen one o
six fives our number. Give us a call you stay anonymous, yep.
All you have to do is tell us your job title.
From that information, we can guess how much you earn.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yeah, whatever your job is. Thirty one O six fives
the number to play. We'll kick it off with an
electrical engineer in Sydney. Electrical engineer. Are you working on
like big sort of city shaping projects? What the sort
of stuff you work on?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
No?
Speaker 8 (11:45):
No, I work more in the pali side. So yeah,
I work on your energy sector.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So power lines and stuff for what is it?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:53):
Say power lines and end power lines? You know where
the electric is generated?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:59):
How often do you wear a hard hat? Are you
in a hard hat most days?
Speaker 10 (12:03):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Never, I'm always in my pajamas and at death mate, God,
what's your understanding what an engineer is?
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Well, they'd often do site visits with an engineer.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
But you asked every day?
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Well, yeah, because you go visit the site every day.
How are you all doing? Guys? Good stuff? Go get
a pot chocolate at the ship out of the back.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You don't want to do the piece of content where
we take you to a job site? Why is that?
Speaker 11 (12:27):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Dumb on the tools? I'd be fine. I think you'd
be surprised. What uh well, firstly how difficult it is,
but secondly just like.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Just what what do you want to say?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Just soft?
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Yeah? I just knew it'd be easy if for got
it out of you. I reckon, I'm harder than you, mate.
We should do it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We should both go and see and see if it
gets further.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
What do you think for the electrical engineer?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I think engineer is pretty high. I think once you
put a word in front of it, it goes even higher.
So I'd say one thirty four, I'll go one hundred.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
What is an electrical engineer?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
So I'm on two k wow.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
And you get to stay in your pajamas. You're not
to wear a heart at stay in pajamas. That's good stuff.
Data consultant on thirteen one A six five What sort
of data are you? Are you working with?
Speaker 11 (13:19):
Data consultant so I help clients to better use their
data to make basonal decisions to make more profit.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Perhaps, what's the difference between a data consultant and a
data analyst.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Mostly close things. Once you go a bit more experience,
you'll possibly become a consultant.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
Higher up on the hierarchy. Yeah, so you get all
the data. Here's how many customers we had last month.
We need to increase that by this march.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Do something with that.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Yeah, that's and I consulted. What do you think for
data consultant?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Again? I reckon, consultant's one of those words. It's eight okay,
I reckon ninety thousand.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
I'll got one hundred and thirty this time. What is
a data consultant?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
It's a two hundred plus.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
What's going on tonight? Where are all these people with
their two hundred thousand dollars plus salaries?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
They don't tell you that at school. They don't say,
go be a data consultant, Go be an electrical engineer.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I think those were pretty well highly held engineer. Are
you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
I didn't really pay attention in careers class? Is that obvious.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
A little bit? Yeah? What were you? What did you
set out to do? What do you mean was it
always radio for you?
Speaker 9 (14:42):
No?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
I was gonna do a law journalism double degree and
become a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Ah, and how about Smart Casual?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
No one else enjoys that, Jack except you.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Smart Casual was a show dom Pitch twenty was eighteen sevent.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
To Channel seven, actually sixteen, to be honest, they never
got back to me.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Doub would be on stage in the suit and his
friend would be casual.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
They was fuck.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
But yous a Claire. Can we get someone from Channel
seven on the show so I can pitch somemart Casual?
I think I lost their number. No, I'm serious. I
want to get someone on from seven. I reckon they'd
go for it, mate, I reckon they'd go for it. Hey,
let's hop up and say my feet with a freight
train driver on thirty one A six five. Hey, freight
train driver, are you doing like the interstate halls? What
(15:36):
are you doing?
Speaker 9 (15:37):
Good?
Speaker 8 (15:38):
Just just sort of like intra interstate stuff. But it's
not maybe maybe four hundred kilometers away out of Sydney, Maximwell, and.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Are they electric trains or diesel? How do they run
or diesel? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (15:51):
Diesel, but yeah, just runs a big it's basically big
power station or wheels.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
So you're hauling like coal and things like that, what
are you hauling around?
Speaker 10 (15:59):
Ah?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Yeah, but everything containers, logs, grain, lot of grain.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Is it a lonely job.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
No, I always got a work mate with us. There's
always there's always someone there to keep you occupied.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You know, you're going through picturesque country.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
It is. It is one of the persons in the job.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Yeah, that's nice. You'd love that.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I love it. And I also think anything with trains
gets paid a lot well. Freak train driver gets paid
more than the city drivers because I know the city
drivers get paid well.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Because you think about how much you're paying per you know,
train ticket, the grain has to pay more.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You think the.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Grain companies are paying a lot more train ticket through
the city. Okay, So I reckon this would.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Be I think it's a bigger train, so that probably
takes extra expertise.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
For the first ever time in say I pay history.
I reckon, we're about to have three two hundred pluses
in a row.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I'd say I'll go to twenty.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
What is it freight train driver?
Speaker 8 (16:57):
A well, without too much over tom, not really over time,
but just like with shift penalties and stuff about one.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Mate, you could have just said two hundred for us well,
well there we go, get into Train's Kids and Channel seven.
Email me back please. I want to get smart casual
on the air.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
The Zac and Dumb podcast.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
What is your special talent? Your party trick? Do you
have a talent a party trick that you bring out
in front of people and they cannot believe? It blows
the way every time?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Now it has to be audio based, doesn't it.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, if you can like dissocate your thumb in a
weird way, yeah, it's gonna be hard to convey on
the radio.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
But like, do you maybe is there like an impersonation
that you can do?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Most celebrity ever, it's like, whoa, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
How about an animal noise? Would that count?
Speaker 7 (17:45):
I take an animal noise? I know you're being on them.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Because didn't we have your friend on who could do
bird whistles?
Speaker 11 (17:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Jackson can do incredible bird whistles, my friend.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And what a captivating show we're painting, mate? That was
great radio.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
I think we should submit that as our entry to
the awards this year.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah a bird guy.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
I know we haven't, we haven't been successful at the
Radio Awards yet, but I reckon the bird that could
be I reckon. So I could picture the big booming
voice over going and zachingdon with bird noises, and then
we'd give it. Probably not. We'd sit there sort of
crossing our fingers, and then you know, probably radio super
stars like Kyle and Jackie O would be out there
and go, the winner.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Is zacking on with bird noises.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
We'd walk up and we'd look shocked.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, I mean, you don't need to go through all
of it. You could just say we won the award.
But you're really painting a picture.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I'm just picturing us at the Radio Awards. I think
it'd be a really special time.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
This is because our producer, Clare, she's new to the show,
only been here a few weeks, blew us away recently
when she revealed her kind of party trick.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
I guess you could say, yeah, yeah, and this is
where we want to know. Thirteen one oh six five.
What is your party trick? Can you do one? Claire
can convincingly, and I mean really convincingly, do the sound
under a crying baby. Claire, give us, give us a
go of this. This is Claire's crying baby.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
It's good. Where's that coming from? It doesn't feel like
it's coming from the mouth. It's like the back of
the throat kind of. It's very big throat thing. How
did you discover it?
Speaker 7 (19:19):
My mum and my nana can do it. It's inherited trait.
How straight unbelievable? So because some people, you know, maybe
you can sing like your parents, you can you can
maybe play sports like your parents. I've never heard of
a genetically passed on baby noise ability do.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The baby noise. I have heard someone before do that.
The baby noise what you don't seem to be a
thing people can do.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
This is genetically passed around a certain let's see.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah as well, if you can do the baby noise, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
If you can do it, actually, maybe that's what you
should do. A baby noise.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Off two and a half minutes. Just wait, we've just
you've just said that this is going to win a
radio award, and now you're changing it half way through, okay,
you know, and the crowd goes wild.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Yeah, yeah, well we can win a radio award for
this too. I got too excited. That's what's happened there.
I reckon thirty one O six five. What are we asking?
Party tricks? Party tricks? And or come on, can you
do a baby crying sound? But we'd love either.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, well that would count as a party trick.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
I mean, okay, let's do celebrity impressions. Can you think
of one you'd love to hear?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Trump? I wouldn't mind a Trump.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Oh, a good Trump is hard to do. Yeah, there's
a lot of bad Trumps out there.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Everyone thinks they can do a Trump.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Yeah, but if you can actually do a Trump, that'd
be great. Look, we have a double pass to see
Teddy Swims live. If your party trick can impress us singing?
What do you mean just a good singer? Mate? Just
putting that on it?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Would you?
Speaker 8 (20:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Because I think they're probably not going to be a
good singer.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Yeah, okay, I guess it's hard to down a phone
line to send impressive, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well I'm thinking of like the early rounds of Australian idol.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Yeah, true, true.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Hoping for someone with a bit of gusto but not
so much talent. Thirteen one oh sixty five. What is
your party trick? We have Rach in Melbourne. You can
do a magpie sound, Rach take it away?
Speaker 8 (21:22):
What Rach have you heard of?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Magpie before I respond.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
To her, I know what's happening there.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I'm not sure what did that sound like to you?
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Not a magpie? Maybe like a broken alarm?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Can we hear it one more time?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Rach?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well, I can kind of get.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
What you get it out there with, Like the wall
sounds like an episode of the Peanuts.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
That's an old reference, Like when was that show on
the sixties?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Yeah, you know the way the characters talk to each other.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, kind of, I'm not bo.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Give you a reference, you'll get it.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Sounded like pingo, Yeah, I like pingo.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Yeah, there we go, Olivia and Sydney.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You can also do the baby voice. When did you
figure out you could do a baby crying?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
My friend was doing it in primary school and I
was like, I really want to learn, just deal with
it back of your throat.
Speaker 10 (22:28):
I was like, all right, let me give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
All right, let's hear it. Well, it must just be
something you could learn.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
It's good.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
It's not quite a Claire's label, but that's that's almost
up there. I mean, that's really interesting to me that
there's a select group of people out there in Australia
who can do a perfect baby voice. Cry, baby, cry,
baby cry. But I'm just trying to think how that
could be useful somewhere. You could put it to you.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You know, we heard the oceans. Could we hear you
do a baby voice? What do you?
Speaker 7 (23:02):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
No?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
We could not?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Please?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
No, No, thirty one.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Six because you know take that audio, yes, play it
every night.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Yeah, I've learned. We've worked together for every decade now,
and I've learned never to do something on video or
on tape that's embarrassing because I think it's a one
off moment and we'll let it go, but instead it
haunts me for years and years to come. Just one
soft No, we're asking thirteen one O six five? What's
(23:32):
your party trick? If you can impress us, we've got
to double pass to Teddy Swims John and Melbourne. Apparently,
is this true? You can do a fog horn sound
John with your your voice?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yes, I can.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
All right, Well, Zack is a big lover of the ocean.
He's an auticle man. So you've got a man you're
gonna impress here, Zach. You're going to judge this fold John,
take it away.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Okay, I mean that's not Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
John?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
That's not a fog horn.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
A fog horn the local.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Tuned in a fog horn.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, no, it is a horn of types it was
hoping for kind of.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Like that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, I mean I I don't ships incoming.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Yes, yeah, could you do one of those for us
at all?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
John M that's all right? Who you reckon? It's gonna
be on a slim pickens.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I thought, I mean we did.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
We got to give it to the baby crying right.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Well, there's other people who have called up someone who
can breathe fire. It's just hard to test that on
the radio, isn't it. Is that a skill?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Of course, it's a skill like you just ingest. You
put the liquid in your mouth and then you spit
it out, don't you anyone can spit out water?
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Okay, I wouldn't be turning breath against me if I
were you.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
But what are they going to do? Breath? Vira?
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Possibly?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's like just wait, why just this thing perfectly light
up by my little flame here? No, don't move, don't move,
I'll just run away.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Hang on, we got I think we have one more
person coming through here. Let's let's try this. Debbie in Melbourne. Debbie.
Apparently you can do a good seagull if you if
you're moderately impressive. You've got the tickets, Debbie.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
Take it away, all right, hang on, all right, Yeah
you can have the tickets, Debbie.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
My kids are laughing at me.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
You did a good job, Debbie. I mean technically didn't
blast away, but I mean you benefited from having a
pretty low back.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Look, we'll get you the Teddy Swims tickets. Teddy Swims
adds third and final Sydney in Melbourne shows to his
I've trade everything but therapy do a Frontier pre sales
start Wednesday at two pm. All tickets on sale Thursday
at three pm. You can also grab tickets to his
busy shows with more details at Frontier touring dot com.
I mean we were hoping to be blown away. I
actually think Claire's party trick, Claire's baby.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Voice, noving this baby voice with I think you're discounting,
you're forgetting that it was down a phone line.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Yeah, okay, all right. I think you should.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Try to learn the baby cry.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah? I think you do it.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Because you're when you set your mind to something there's
nothing you can't achieve.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
Zach, there's really no either way to frame this. It's
been an awful, awful day for Michaels. Shocking news has
come out in the last twenty four hours about the
name Michael, that it is in drastic decline nationwide in Australia,
is it. Yeah, So, for the first time, the first
time in decades, Michael has slipped out of the top
(26:57):
fifty or so top one hundred baby boy names in Australia.
Michael is no longer. It is now over one hundred
names people choose to call their babies over Michael.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
So what's the top names? Because Michael when I was
a kid in the nineties was up there. It would
have been I reckon top ten at least, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
I reckon. So I think you're right. Well, currently Oliver's
won again.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Really, that's like ten years of Oliver.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Yeah, it's getting a bit boring.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You know, I've never actually met a kid named Oliver.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Are you serious? You know you've never met an Oliver.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And I've got young kids myself. I don't know where
all these Olivers are.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Yeah, it's an interesting point actually, because I've not met
many Olivers.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
What's the top girl's name.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
The top girl's name is what you make you like
or something. I think it's still Charlotte. Yeah, Oliver and
Charlotte are the two. So Charlotte has now had ten
of the fifteen year span of Generation Alpha, which is
just wild.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And Michael in all this time has been dwindling. Michael's
been fading, like eighty two years ago, then it's in
the nineties. This year it slipped out of the top hundred.
Michael's going extinct.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
Well, that's what it sounds like. I mean, mate, they
so last year. This will this will put a chill
up the spine of anyone who loves a Michael or
is a Michael. Last year, Michael's was seventy second on
the rank.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
As a big decline, there one hundred.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
And fourth this year. Wow, mate, Michaels have officially fallen.
There are only one spot above the name August. Really, yeah,
August one hundred and third.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Now, forget watching the stock markets after Trump's tariffs, we
should be watching the Michael Report.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Actually, I've just seen some scary news here too. This
maybe was on the edge, should have led with another
name's fallen out of the top one hundred this year.
Zachary has it. Zachary's gone from ninety seven to one
hundred and.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Times like that.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Though, what do you mean, Well, I like less people
to have. It really have to be unique, don't you.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Wasn't that the idea of a name?
Speaker 9 (28:52):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I think?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
So?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
You think the name has to be totally globally unique.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's my opinion. Yes, totally globally have to be the
only one is that you're trying to avoid doubles in.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Your class though, Well, that is true. Yeah, you never
want to be Jessica W. I always felt that at
school there was like five there was another dom in
my grade.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, well, because my domine is Sarah and Sarah in
the nineties. Yeah, she had to be Sarah D. And
she didn't like that. No, no, no, So she's like,
you got to have at least unique enough that the
thirty kids in your class don't have your name.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Yeah right, okay, well that maybe that is good news
for Michaels in one extent, mate, but look.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
At this, I'm looking up famous Michaels Michael Jordan, Yes,
Michael j. Fox Michael Phelps, Michael Schumacher, Michael Keaton, Michael Bay,
Michael Moore. What's in common with all these people? Old? Now?
The youngest famous Michael I can see is Michael Sarah,
you know, like from super Bad, but he now would
probably be close to forty. It's a good point, you know,
(29:52):
is there no famous Michael under forty? He's one that
I can't believe you haven't mentioned your favorite celebrity of all.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Time Boublay Boo Blay.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I wonder how this is affecting him with this.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
I just think it's really rough news because we've all
known a Michael. We've all had a Michael.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Close you think right now, Yeah, close your eyes unless
you're driving. And who comes to mind when you think
of Michael. Now, that could be the last Michael in
your life. You might not get another Michael. And I'm
just realizing this time, because then there's no new Michaels
(30:28):
coming in. Yes, So that Michael, you know, might be
your last Michael.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
You might have already had your last Michael and not
even known it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
No one told you.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
As hard. That's even hard for me to think about
right now. Yeah, the idea that I'll never meet someone
and go is that Michael or Mike? How familiar are we?
Have you checked the list for Mike's it's a catchall.
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Okay, maybe they're just shortening it.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
No mate, the top names now, apart from Oliver for boys,
it's Noah, Feodore, and Henry around out the the top few.
So Henry has persisted and Michael has fallen. That surprises me.
That really shocks.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
What a world do you reckon? Very Trump effect? In
what way he might not like Michaels. He's charging Michael's
ten percent on every new Michael.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
Well, look, our thoughts go out to any Michael's out there,
all the best in hopefully bringing the name back to
its former glory.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
The Zac and Tom podcast go ahead, make My day?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Are you ready?
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Dog?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
We're trying to do our part to raise awareness of
lesser known holidays. Each night I bring two to the show.
You and I have to pick one Ah to become
ambassators for just for one day.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
It's that simple, Zach, And it's just some feeling on
topic work that we do on the side.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
Here.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
What are we got coming up tomorrow the eighth of April.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's National zoo lover's day.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
This is a nice one. You're a bit of a
zoo lover, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Well, kind of there's good zoos and bad zeus.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
This is what I mean. You've got opinions. I don't
have opinions.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
You don't have opinions on zoo's right. I see a zoo.
Look at that monkey there staring up at the sky
in that little enclosure.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
Animal treatment. I'm thinking about that. I thought you meant
like exciting zoos, unless exciting zeus.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
No, no, no, it's all about the animals.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
I did go to a zoo overseas once that like
some of the animals they had, I thought, there's no
way this can be good animal welfare. Mean, well, there
was like a fish tank. I mean it was a
big fish tank. It was like an indoor pool. Imagine
a pool at a hotel with manatees.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, any ocean animal and like the ocean is a
big place.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
Yes, And I was thinking, like.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
They shouldn't be in any pool.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
No. I was like, there's too many manatees for that pool.
There's a lot of manity. He's in the pool. I
just thought this was odd, And I won't talk about
the particular country I went to, but I just would
theorize they would have different animal welfare standards than us
here in Australia. No, that's not offensive because I didn't
name the country.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
That's fine.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
If I'd said the country, I would have been in trouble.
But I didn't say.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Okay, I'm not pushing any further.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Because no one knows what the ethnicity of the country is.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It could be just don't have ethnicityaic.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
Yeah, that's that's my point.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
When's where did zoos come from? Do you think what
city and what year?
Speaker 7 (33:36):
It feels Russian to me?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
The first zoo Vienna?
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Yeah it was close. No you weren't. Yeah, yeah, that
rough part of the world, seventeen fifty. What you think, No,
I'd guess that I've seen the greatest shaman.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
It was intended solely for the viewing pleasure of the
imperial family. Interesting, that's classic, isn't it. Like me a
lie and.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
You'd be very anti zoo actually, know the more I
think about it, because you're all about let things run free.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, there's some zoos that do good like rehab, rehab
and like conservation and stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
There's some good ones Okay, what else is coming up tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
It's international be kind to lay lawyer's day.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
Well, lawyers invented this one.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah, And I think like the thing I see with
lawyers is like it's offset by the pay. You don't
get to get paid really well, yes, and be loved
by everyone. No, there's not many jobs where that's true.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
That's a really good point. I mean maybe like Taylor Swift.
Oh no, she's got her haters. Yeah, she's written songs
about them. So I guess is there You're right, because
is there a job that pays really well and comes
with a lot of public affection as well?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Probably not many, I guess, like outside of Hollywood, Like
you've got your actors obviously, I reckon.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
Like surgeons have a good rate.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
They get paid well and people like them really.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
But lawyers, I guess, because why do people not like lawyers?
Speaker 7 (35:05):
Usually because they like the job is professional lying well,
representing a story, well, not lying, but your job legitimately
you're paid to represent a story.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
And I think sometimes, like you, you might be paid
to get someone off who shouldn't get off.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
Well, but either way, like your whole job is to
take just to take one person side of the story
and remove anything that makes that look potentially unlikely.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Now on the International Be Kind of Lawyers Day website
is a quote, yeah from William Shakespeare. Is that you
tell me if you think this is right? An actual
Shakespeare quote? First thing we do, let's kill all the
lawyers William Shakespeare.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Yeah, that actually could be possible. Really, I reckon say, yeah,
that doesn't seem likely. Why would they put that on
Big kind of Lawyer's Day.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I think they're showing the people who were against lawyers.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Well, we can't even much beet Shakespeare.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
He's dead. They got one up on him.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
Well you gave me kind of a lawyer mate, and
I'll do Zoo Day. Yeah, I'll go find some manatees
and then there.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
That's all for this episode of the Zac and Doom podcast.

A long time ago, in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong. Out of that busy
beat rolls Zach, And.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Have you ever.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Have a felt like this?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Like stage this happens.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
When second kiss.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
This is zac and dom.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (00:32):
Yes, it's Monday night and it's good to be alive, Zach.
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm great, man, I'm happy. We're launching into the week.
What are we ten days away from Easter?
Speaker 7 (00:42):
Yep, you can. I had a for a share. Have
you seen those ones? It's not a bunny, it's a
squirrel because the hazel nuts.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Because you eat a lot of Easter eggs, you just
buy for yourself in the lead up and snack on them. Yeah,
tell everyone I'm single. Why don't you No, I'm just
explaining why you're talking about eating Easter eggs ten it's abnormal.
A lot of people do that.
Speaker 7 (01:02):
And I bought a feroshair little squirrel was lovely, because
this is the thing is a celiac. You can't get
for a rashare gluten free the rest of the year,
but Easter comes around and do you stuck up?
Speaker 8 (01:13):
No?
Speaker 7 (01:13):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Why not on coping with it? Well?
Speaker 7 (01:16):
I also don't stuck up on candy canes at Christmas.
I'm happy for that to be once.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
A year thing.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Now. You were once abused in a shot for eating
Easter egg weren't you?
Speaker 7 (01:24):
We wouldn't say abused. Just as I ate an Easter bunny,
a guy walked past me and said, oh, leave some
for the rest of us.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
So it does seem like that maybe not everyone does it.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
Yeah, well I'm not that guy. We're going to take
you are the king of telling me dom. Anecdotal evidence
should not be taken as quantitative, qualitative, whatever that one is.
So you can't claim that a lot of people do it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, there's one on the side of not doing it.
Is there anyone else you've seen? Have you ever been
walking around the supermarket and you give a little nod
to someone who's also.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
The Easter chocolate popped up in the shot two months ago.
You think people who are buying it back then were
buying it and storing it away for three months.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I don't think anyone intentionally ate it. I think there'd
be parents out there who had a peckish night they said,
is there any chocolate in this house? They found it
in the back of the fridge and the like we'll
replace it later. I don't think people are making kind.
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Of like yeah, okay, well you know what to anyone
listening right now who's enjoying some Easter chocolate. I'm on
your side. Zach's the problem, not us. Hey, big show
coming up, mate. They're awful news for anyone named Michael. Really,
just worrying news that's come out today. If your name
is Michael, if there's a Michael in your life, you're
going to be really confronted by what you hear that.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
The Krindle report was released today and it was damning
for Michael.
Speaker 7 (02:42):
It's honestly like, if I was a Michael, I would
just feel really rattled today because it's almost like your
whole identity as a Michael is probably about to be
shaken with this news.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It could be the future of Michaels are in trouble.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
We're going to get there shortly. Coming up after this, though,
Zach producer Claire has been working with us for a
few months now since she actually joined the Zachendom team,
and we have just discovered that Claire has an ability
to do something, a special talent of secret ability that
we had no idea about that. We're slightly spooked by.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
This is second tom.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Political moment, a bit of an embarrassing one over the
weekend where Peter Dudd and the opposition leader, the guy
who's trying to be prime minister. He was doing a
little bit of like a fun media moment where he
kicked a footy around. He kicked the ball into the cameraman,
split in the guy's head open. There wasn't a great look.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Now, you can hear it, the moment of impact really
in this clip.
Speaker 9 (03:43):
Yes, open too again, he's all right, that's your exclusive
vision to held on to that.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
You can hear there. He doesn't quite know whether to
laugh at off.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I think he's panicking, yes' because you remember a few
years ago Scomo tackled that kid and it wasn't a
good moment for no. And I think Peter didn't want
to rush anything. And I think he's a little bit worried. Now.
I'm not a political guy, but I think split him
open wasn't the right call. I think maybe doing a
(04:22):
little jog over there, yeah, oh no man, are you okay? Yes, hey,
just check your right before we move on. I think
maybe that.
Speaker 7 (04:29):
Would have been the right thing to do or politically,
he could have leaned in and gone see that guy.
That's what Albo's doing to Australia.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's what I think of mainstream media. Yes, yeah, the
guy was a Channel ten camera man.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Yeah, that would have been great. Yeah wow, Well certain
demographic at one point is it would have been aggressive.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Right, So you're saying one way or the other. Yeah,
you got to.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Lean in or back out. Yeah, that's that's his problem here.
If you're gonna if you're going to kick a football
at someone, you either have to really quickly go I'm
so sorry or intend that it will say that you
and ended it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Thirteen one or six y five. What hit in the head? Yep,
it doesn't have to be from a Prime minister. Extra
points if it was, I don't think we're going to
get those calls. But it happens from time to time.
This cameraman was looking through the lens, so he didn't
really I mean, obviously he knew the ball was coming,
that was what he was shooting, but he didn't know
exactly where it was. Yeah, and that happens in life. Well,
(05:23):
the thing is to get hit in the head by something.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
The head is a significant sized part of the body,
also the highest part of the body. So something's come
with you. It gets the head first. There's numerous reasons
that the head would end up entangled.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I remember in high school, just mind in my own business,
walking along, got a carrot to the head. What do
you mean you my friend for some reason through a
carrot across the school yard hit me in the head.
And if you get hit by something you're not expecting,
it really is a surprise. Yes, And you wouldn't think
a carrot was that heavy. It felt like I was
(05:57):
punching the.
Speaker 7 (05:57):
Jaw from a carrot.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, carrot like a big cat carrot stick. Someone have
a full carrot at school nutrition. I think he had
issues with I sight. He wanted to improve nighttime I understand.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
But like normally you'd cut the carrot up in little sticks.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You gte it bugs bunny stuf. I mean good for him, Yeah,
he could throw that guy.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
Well, his eyesight worked out, clearly he was he was.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
A good cricketer.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Right, you've been hit in the head, have you What
does that even mean?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
I have been. I mean numerous, there's too many stories
to count. There was one time actually where I was
walking at a park and my friends were like climbing
the tree and I wasn't going to climb the tree,
but I walked under the tree and one of the
branches fell down from the tree straight onto my head.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Now on purpose that your friends didn't break the branch.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
It was too big a branch that would be considered
a salt had they intended it. And did it leave
any damage, not that I'm aware of.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Do you remember the instance?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (07:01):
Yeah, yeah, I've only been like completely concussed once in
my life, and that what happened. Then I ran into
a tree stump. It's a lot of true. Well, I
was playing touch football with a friend and I was
out on the wing in his backyard and I was
just looking inwards for the past. So I ran it fullpout,
looking for the past. Didn't see the tree stump in
front of me.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
When have you been hit in the head? Thirteen one
sixty five.
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Danny in Sydney. This is when you were a kid, Danny.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Hi, guys? So unfortunately, I was in an athletics carnival
and I was so intent on getting over to the
marshaling area, had my head down boulting like nobody's business.
And next thing you know, out of the blue, from
the side comes another kid in his head just connected
with mine and I ended up with internal bleeding.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Oh no, that's not what you want, is it?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Head clash? They seem to happen when you're a kid
a lot more than an as an adult.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
Yeah, I guess because you still haven't figured out your
own pace as a kid.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Well, so they don't look where they're going a lot.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
You also run a lot more as a kid than
an adult.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And you're confident running without looking.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Yeah you are, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
My little kids right, I've got a two year old.
They just have these rockheads that they throw around. Yeah,
they often throw them back, throw them forward. I don't
know if they have less nerves in their head, but
their fine head.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
Buddy. We got Bella on thirty one A six five.
This is when you were working in a retail store, Bella,
what did you in the head?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
So basically I was doing a visual merchandising.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Move and.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
The ladder was leaned up against two walls. When I
tell you, there is no absolute way it could have moved.
I was bending over to grab something and all of
a sudden I got smashed on the top of the
head by this ladder.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Well, the ladder just collapsed on you.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
So it was like those big tool industrial ladders. The
best way to explain it was it was like a
little hallway and it was leaning up against both walls,
so the only way it could have fallen is on
the left or the right hand side, and it just
toppled over out of nowhere. Like I'm still baffled to
this day as to how the ladder fell.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
I mean, I'd look into Peter Dunton.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Was he present.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I'm just I'm not. I'm just saying allegedly, was like.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
One of those math problems you get in high I
did feel like the ladder was the ladder was above
the hallway. Yes, E's like a riddle, something you'd solved
to get out of an escape root. It's like, how
did it fall?
Speaker 7 (09:33):
What's your answer? What do you reckon? Um?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I think it shrunk? Ah, you know, like the classic
one with the ice Yeah, I find they find a
dead body in.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
A pool of water.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
What happened? It's an ice pick? It melted.
Speaker 7 (09:49):
Yeah, I'm supposed that's never popped up on one of
those detective shows.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It would have one of them.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
You reckon, Yeah, you reckon. Monk solved that one Once
upon a time, possibly six FI asking what hit you
in the head, Joe in Sydney?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
What got you Joe?
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Well, my auntie she was having an argument with an
ex partner. Now, yeah, so my auntie was arguing with
my uncle and I'm just walking, you know, just walking
innoctantly as I'm walking outside, and then my uncle just
runs right past me. And I didn't realize, but my
(10:26):
my auntie had pegged the coffee mugt and my uncle.
It must have been, you know, really serious argument. But
instead of hitting my unkle with hit me on the
top of my head.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, that's just a sad story.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
That's a really sad story with some heavy themes.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah. Yeah, because I think we had ritten down got
hit in the head with the coffee mug. We thought
it was kind of high. We brought the kind of
argument into it. That's where it kind of got a
lot heavier, didn't it.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
There's not a lot of room. Do you want to
get back to the ladder occasion? Did that matter fall over?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
No one knows.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Say My Pay, Say my Pay? Tell us what you
do and what they pay you for.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And this is our national pay survey. Thirteen one o
six fives our number. Give us a call you stay anonymous, yep.
All you have to do is tell us your job title.
From that information, we can guess how much you earn.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yeah, whatever your job is. Thirty one O six fives
the number to play. We'll kick it off with an
electrical engineer in Sydney. Electrical engineer. Are you working on
like big sort of city shaping projects? What the sort
of stuff you work on?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
No?
Speaker 8 (11:45):
No, I work more in the pali side. So yeah,
I work on your energy sector.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So power lines and stuff for what is it?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (11:53):
Say power lines and end power lines? You know where
the electric is generated?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:59):
How often do you wear a hard hat? Are you
in a hard hat most days?
Speaker 10 (12:03):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Never, I'm always in my pajamas and at death mate, God,
what's your understanding what an engineer is?
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Well, they'd often do site visits with an engineer.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
But you asked every day?
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Well, yeah, because you go visit the site every day.
How are you all doing? Guys? Good stuff? Go get
a pot chocolate at the ship out of the back.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You don't want to do the piece of content where
we take you to a job site? Why is that?
Speaker 11 (12:27):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Dumb on the tools? I'd be fine. I think you'd
be surprised. What uh well, firstly how difficult it is,
but secondly just like.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Just what what do you want to say?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Just soft?
Speaker 7 (12:41):
Yeah? I just knew it'd be easy if for got
it out of you. I reckon, I'm harder than you, mate.
We should do it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
We should both go and see and see if it
gets further.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
What do you think for the electrical engineer?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I think engineer is pretty high. I think once you
put a word in front of it, it goes even higher.
So I'd say one thirty four, I'll go one hundred.
Speaker 7 (13:02):
What is an electrical engineer?
Speaker 4 (13:04):
So I'm on two k wow.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
And you get to stay in your pajamas. You're not
to wear a heart at stay in pajamas. That's good stuff.
Data consultant on thirteen one A six five What sort
of data are you? Are you working with?
Speaker 11 (13:19):
Data consultant so I help clients to better use their
data to make basonal decisions to make more profit.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Perhaps, what's the difference between a data consultant and a
data analyst.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
Mostly close things. Once you go a bit more experience,
you'll possibly become a consultant.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
Higher up on the hierarchy. Yeah, so you get all
the data. Here's how many customers we had last month.
We need to increase that by this march.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Do something with that.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Yeah, that's and I consulted. What do you think for
data consultant?
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Again? I reckon, consultant's one of those words. It's eight okay,
I reckon ninety thousand.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
I'll got one hundred and thirty this time. What is
a data consultant?
Speaker 8 (14:11):
It's a two hundred plus.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
What's going on tonight? Where are all these people with
their two hundred thousand dollars plus salaries?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
They don't tell you that at school. They don't say,
go be a data consultant, Go be an electrical engineer.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I think those were pretty well highly held engineer. Are
you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (14:32):
I didn't really pay attention in careers class? Is that obvious.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
A little bit? Yeah? What were you? What did you
set out to do? What do you mean was it
always radio for you?
Speaker 9 (14:42):
No?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
I was gonna do a law journalism double degree and
become a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Ah, and how about Smart Casual?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
No one else enjoys that, Jack except you.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Smart Casual was a show dom Pitch twenty was eighteen sevent.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
To Channel seven, actually sixteen, to be honest, they never
got back to me.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Doub would be on stage in the suit and his
friend would be casual.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Mate.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
They was fuck.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
But yous a Claire. Can we get someone from Channel
seven on the show so I can pitch somemart Casual?
I think I lost their number. No, I'm serious. I
want to get someone on from seven. I reckon they'd
go for it, mate, I reckon they'd go for it. Hey,
let's hop up and say my feet with a freight
train driver on thirty one A six five. Hey, freight
train driver, are you doing like the interstate halls? What
(15:36):
are you doing?
Speaker 9 (15:37):
Good?
Speaker 8 (15:38):
Just just sort of like intra interstate stuff. But it's
not maybe maybe four hundred kilometers away out of Sydney, Maximwell, and.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Are they electric trains or diesel? How do they run
or diesel? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (15:51):
Diesel, but yeah, just runs a big it's basically big
power station or wheels.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
So you're hauling like coal and things like that, what
are you hauling around?
Speaker 10 (15:59):
Ah?
Speaker 8 (16:00):
Yeah, but everything containers, logs, grain, lot of grain.
Speaker 9 (16:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:04):
Is it a lonely job.
Speaker 8 (16:07):
No, I always got a work mate with us. There's
always there's always someone there to keep you occupied.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You know, you're going through picturesque country.
Speaker 8 (16:15):
It is. It is one of the persons in the job.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
Yeah, that's nice. You'd love that.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I love it. And I also think anything with trains
gets paid a lot well. Freak train driver gets paid
more than the city drivers because I know the city
drivers get paid well.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Because you think about how much you're paying per you know,
train ticket, the grain has to pay more.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You think the.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Grain companies are paying a lot more train ticket through
the city. Okay, So I reckon this would.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Be I think it's a bigger train, so that probably
takes extra expertise.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
For the first ever time in say I pay history.
I reckon, we're about to have three two hundred pluses
in a row.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I'd say I'll go to twenty.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
What is it freight train driver?
Speaker 8 (16:57):
A well, without too much over tom, not really over time,
but just like with shift penalties and stuff about one.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
Mate, you could have just said two hundred for us well,
well there we go, get into Train's Kids and Channel seven.
Email me back please. I want to get smart casual
on the air.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
The Zac and Dumb podcast.
Speaker 7 (17:19):
What is your special talent? Your party trick? Do you
have a talent a party trick that you bring out
in front of people and they cannot believe? It blows
the way every time?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Now it has to be audio based, doesn't it.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, if you can like dissocate your thumb in a
weird way, yeah, it's gonna be hard to convey on
the radio.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
But like, do you maybe is there like an impersonation
that you can do?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Most celebrity ever, it's like, whoa, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
How about an animal noise? Would that count?
Speaker 7 (17:45):
I take an animal noise? I know you're being on them.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Because didn't we have your friend on who could do
bird whistles?
Speaker 11 (17:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (17:51):
Jackson can do incredible bird whistles, my friend.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And what a captivating show we're painting, mate? That was
great radio.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
I think we should submit that as our entry to
the awards this year.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah a bird guy.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
I know we haven't, we haven't been successful at the
Radio Awards yet, but I reckon the bird that could
be I reckon. So I could picture the big booming
voice over going and zachingdon with bird noises, and then
we'd give it. Probably not. We'd sit there sort of
crossing our fingers, and then you know, probably radio super
stars like Kyle and Jackie O would be out there
and go, the winner.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Is zacking on with bird noises.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
We'd walk up and we'd look shocked.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, I mean, you don't need to go through all
of it. You could just say we won the award.
But you're really painting a picture.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I'm just picturing us at the Radio Awards. I think
it'd be a really special time.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
This is because our producer, Clare, she's new to the show,
only been here a few weeks, blew us away recently
when she revealed her kind of party trick.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
I guess you could say, yeah, yeah, and this is
where we want to know. Thirteen one oh six five.
What is your party trick? Can you do one? Claire
can convincingly, and I mean really convincingly, do the sound
under a crying baby. Claire, give us, give us a
go of this. This is Claire's crying baby.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
It's good. Where's that coming from? It doesn't feel like
it's coming from the mouth. It's like the back of
the throat kind of. It's very big throat thing. How
did you discover it?
Speaker 7 (19:19):
My mum and my nana can do it. It's inherited trait.
How straight unbelievable? So because some people, you know, maybe
you can sing like your parents, you can you can
maybe play sports like your parents. I've never heard of
a genetically passed on baby noise ability do.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
The baby noise. I have heard someone before do that.
The baby noise what you don't seem to be a
thing people can do.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
This is genetically passed around a certain let's see.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah as well, if you can do the baby noise, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
If you can do it, actually, maybe that's what you
should do. A baby noise.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Off two and a half minutes. Just wait, we've just
you've just said that this is going to win a
radio award, and now you're changing it half way through, okay,
you know, and the crowd goes wild.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Yeah, yeah, well we can win a radio award for
this too. I got too excited. That's what's happened there.
I reckon thirty one O six five. What are we asking?
Party tricks? Party tricks? And or come on, can you
do a baby crying sound? But we'd love either.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yeah, well that would count as a party trick.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
I mean, okay, let's do celebrity impressions. Can you think
of one you'd love to hear?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Trump? I wouldn't mind a Trump.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
Oh, a good Trump is hard to do. Yeah, there's
a lot of bad Trumps out there.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Everyone thinks they can do a Trump.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Yeah, but if you can actually do a Trump, that'd
be great. Look, we have a double pass to see
Teddy Swims live. If your party trick can impress us singing?
What do you mean just a good singer? Mate? Just
putting that on it?
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Would you?
Speaker 8 (20:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Because I think they're probably not going to be a
good singer.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Yeah, okay, I guess it's hard to down a phone
line to send impressive, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Well I'm thinking of like the early rounds of Australian idol.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Yeah, true, true.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Hoping for someone with a bit of gusto but not
so much talent. Thirteen one oh sixty five. What is
your party trick? We have Rach in Melbourne. You can
do a magpie sound, Rach take it away?
Speaker 8 (21:22):
What Rach have you heard of?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Magpie before I respond.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
To her, I know what's happening there.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I'm not sure what did that sound like to you?
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Not a magpie? Maybe like a broken alarm?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Can we hear it one more time?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Rach?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Well, I can kind of get.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
What you get it out there with, Like the wall
sounds like an episode of the Peanuts.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
That's an old reference, Like when was that show on
the sixties?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
Yeah, you know the way the characters talk to each other.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, kind of, I'm not bo.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Give you a reference, you'll get it.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Sounded like pingo, Yeah, I like pingo.
Speaker 7 (22:15):
Yeah, there we go, Olivia and Sydney.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You can also do the baby voice. When did you
figure out you could do a baby crying?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
My friend was doing it in primary school and I
was like, I really want to learn, just deal with
it back of your throat.
Speaker 10 (22:28):
I was like, all right, let me give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
All right, let's hear it. Well, it must just be
something you could learn.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
It's good.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
It's not quite a Claire's label, but that's that's almost
up there. I mean, that's really interesting to me that
there's a select group of people out there in Australia
who can do a perfect baby voice. Cry, baby, cry,
baby cry. But I'm just trying to think how that
could be useful somewhere. You could put it to you.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
You know, we heard the oceans. Could we hear you
do a baby voice? What do you?
Speaker 7 (23:02):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
No?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
We could not?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Please?
Speaker 7 (23:06):
No, No, thirty one.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Six because you know take that audio, yes, play it
every night.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
Yeah, I've learned. We've worked together for every decade now,
and I've learned never to do something on video or
on tape that's embarrassing because I think it's a one
off moment and we'll let it go, but instead it
haunts me for years and years to come. Just one
soft No, we're asking thirteen one O six five? What's
(23:32):

to double pass to Teddy Swims John and Melbourne. Apparently,
is this true? You can do a fog horn sound
John with your your voice?
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yes, I can.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
All right, Well, Zack is a big lover of the ocean.
He's an auticle man. So you've got a man you're
gonna impress here, Zach. You're going to judge this fold John,

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Okay, I mean that's not Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
John?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
That's not a fog horn.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
A fog horn the local.
Speaker 10 (24:12):
Tuned in a fog horn.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, no, it is a horn of types it was
hoping for kind of.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Like that's what you're looking for.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Yeah, I mean I I don't ships incoming.
Speaker 7 (24:25):
Yes, yeah, could you do one of those for us
at all?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
John M that's all right? Who you reckon? It's gonna
be on a slim pickens.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
I thought, I mean we did.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
We got to give it to the baby crying right.
Speaker 7 (24:40):
Well, there's other people who have called up someone who
can breathe fire. It's just hard to test that on
the radio, isn't it. Is that a skill?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Of course, it's a skill like you just ingest. You
put the liquid in your mouth and then you spit
it out, don't you anyone can spit out water?
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Okay, I wouldn't be turning breath against me if I
were you.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
But what are they going to do? Breath? Vira?
Speaker 7 (25:04):
Possibly?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
It's like just wait, why just this thing perfectly light
up by my little flame here? No, don't move, don't move,
I'll just run away.
Speaker 7 (25:16):
Hang on, we got I think we have one more
person coming through here. Let's let's try this. Debbie in Melbourne. Debbie.
Apparently you can do a good seagull if you if
you're moderately impressive. You've got the tickets, Debbie.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
Take it away, all right, hang on, all right, Yeah
you can have the tickets, Debbie.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
My kids are laughing at me.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
You did a good job, Debbie. I mean technically didn't
blast away, but I mean you benefited from having a
pretty low back.
Speaker 7 (25:50):
Look, we'll get you the Teddy Swims tickets. Teddy Swims
adds third and final Sydney in Melbourne shows to his
I've trade everything but therapy do a Frontier pre sales
start Wednesday at two pm. All tickets on sale Thursday
at three pm. You can also grab tickets to his
busy shows with more details at Frontier touring dot com.
I mean we were hoping to be blown away. I
actually think Claire's party trick, Claire's baby.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Voice, noving this baby voice with I think you're discounting,
you're forgetting that it was down a phone line.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Yeah, okay, all right. I think you should.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Try to learn the baby cry.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
Do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah? I think you do it.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Because you're when you set your mind to something there's
nothing you can't achieve.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 7 (26:35):
Zach, there's really no either way to frame this. It's
been an awful, awful day for Michaels. Shocking news has
come out in the last twenty four hours about the
name Michael, that it is in drastic decline nationwide in Australia,
is it. Yeah, So, for the first time, the first
time in decades, Michael has slipped out of the top
(26:57):
fifty or so top one hundred baby boy names in Australia.
Michael is no longer. It is now over one hundred
names people choose to call their babies over Michael.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
So what's the top names? Because Michael when I was
a kid in the nineties was up there. It would
have been I reckon top ten at least, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
I reckon. So I think you're right. Well, currently Oliver's
won again.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Really, that's like ten years of Oliver.
Speaker 7 (27:20):
Yeah, it's getting a bit boring.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You know, I've never actually met a kid named Oliver.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Are you serious? You know you've never met an Oliver.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And I've got young kids myself. I don't know where
all these Olivers are.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Yeah, it's an interesting point actually, because I've not met
many Olivers.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
What's the top girl's name.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
The top girl's name is what you make you like
or something. I think it's still Charlotte. Yeah, Oliver and
Charlotte are the two. So Charlotte has now had ten
of the fifteen year span of Generation Alpha, which is
just wild.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And Michael in all this time has been dwindling. Michael's
been fading, like eighty two years ago, then it's in
the nineties. This year it slipped out of the top hundred.
Michael's going extinct.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
Well, that's what it sounds like. I mean, mate, they
so last year. This will this will put a chill
up the spine of anyone who loves a Michael or
is a Michael. Last year, Michael's was seventy second on
the rank.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
As a big decline, there one hundred.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
And fourth this year. Wow, mate, Michaels have officially fallen.
There are only one spot above the name August. Really, yeah,
August one hundred and third.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Now, forget watching the stock markets after Trump's tariffs, we
should be watching the Michael Report.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Actually, I've just seen some scary news here too. This
maybe was on the edge, should have led with another
name's fallen out of the top one hundred this year.
Zachary has it. Zachary's gone from ninety seven to one
hundred and.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Times like that.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Though, what do you mean, Well, I like less people
to have. It really have to be unique, don't you.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Wasn't that the idea of a name?
Speaker 9 (28:52):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I think?
Speaker 6 (28:53):
So?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
You think the name has to be totally globally unique.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's my opinion. Yes, totally globally have to be the
only one is that you're trying to avoid doubles in.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Your class though, Well, that is true. Yeah, you never
want to be Jessica W. I always felt that at
school there was like five there was another dom in
my grade.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, well, because my domine is Sarah and Sarah in
the nineties. Yeah, she had to be Sarah D. And
she didn't like that. No, no, no, So she's like,
you got to have at least unique enough that the
thirty kids in your class don't have your name.
Speaker 7 (29:25):
Yeah right, okay, well that maybe that is good news
for Michaels in one extent, mate, but look.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
At this, I'm looking up famous Michaels Michael Jordan, Yes,
Michael j. Fox Michael Phelps, Michael Schumacher, Michael Keaton, Michael Bay,
Michael Moore. What's in common with all these people? Old? Now?
The youngest famous Michael I can see is Michael Sarah,
you know, like from super Bad, but he now would
probably be close to forty. It's a good point, you know,
(29:52):
is there no famous Michael under forty? He's one that
I can't believe you haven't mentioned your favorite celebrity of all.
Speaker 7 (29:59):
Time Boublay Boo Blay.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
I wonder how this is affecting him with this.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
I just think it's really rough news because we've all
known a Michael. We've all had a Michael.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Close you think right now, Yeah, close your eyes unless
you're driving. And who comes to mind when you think
of Michael. Now, that could be the last Michael in
your life. You might not get another Michael. And I'm
just realizing this time, because then there's no new Michaels
(30:28):
coming in. Yes, So that Michael, you know, might be
your last Michael.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
You might have already had your last Michael and not
even known it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
No one told you.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
As hard. That's even hard for me to think about
right now. Yeah, the idea that I'll never meet someone
and go is that Michael or Mike? How familiar are we?
Have you checked the list for Mike's it's a catchall.
I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Okay, maybe they're just shortening it.
Speaker 7 (30:53):
No mate, the top names now, apart from Oliver for boys,
it's Noah, Feodore, and Henry around out the the top few.
So Henry has persisted and Michael has fallen. That surprises me.
That really shocks.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
What a world do you reckon? Very Trump effect? In
what way he might not like Michaels. He's charging Michael's
ten percent on every new Michael.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
Well, look, our thoughts go out to any Michael's out there,
all the best in hopefully bringing the name back to
its former glory.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
The Zac and Tom podcast go ahead, make My day?
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Are you ready?
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Dog?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
We're trying to do our part to raise awareness of
lesser known holidays. Each night I bring two to the show.
You and I have to pick one Ah to become
ambassators for just for one day.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
It's that simple, Zach, And it's just some feeling on
topic work that we do on the side.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
Here.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
What are we got coming up tomorrow the eighth of April.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's National zoo lover's day.
Speaker 7 (32:04):
This is a nice one. You're a bit of a
zoo lover, aren't you.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Well, kind of there's good zoos and bad zeus.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
This is what I mean. You've got opinions. I don't
have opinions.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
You don't have opinions on zoo's right. I see a zoo.
Look at that monkey there staring up at the sky
in that little enclosure.
Speaker 7 (32:25):
Animal treatment. I'm thinking about that. I thought you meant
like exciting zoos, unless exciting zeus.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
No, no, no, it's all about the animals.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
I did go to a zoo overseas once that like
some of the animals they had, I thought, there's no
way this can be good animal welfare. Mean, well, there
was like a fish tank. I mean it was a
big fish tank. It was like an indoor pool. Imagine
a pool at a hotel with manatees.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Yeah, any ocean animal and like the ocean is a
big place.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
Yes, And I was thinking, like.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
They shouldn't be in any pool.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
No. I was like, there's too many manatees for that pool.
There's a lot of manity. He's in the pool. I
just thought this was odd, And I won't talk about
the particular country I went to, but I just would
theorize they would have different animal welfare standards than us
here in Australia. No, that's not offensive because I didn't
name the country.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
That's fine.
Speaker 7 (33:16):
If I'd said the country, I would have been in trouble.
But I didn't say.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Okay, I'm not pushing any further.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Because no one knows what the ethnicity of the country is.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It could be just don't have ethnicityaic.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
Yeah, that's that's my point.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
When's where did zoos come from? Do you think what
city and what year?
Speaker 7 (33:36):
It feels Russian to me?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
The first zoo Vienna?
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Yeah it was close. No you weren't. Yeah, yeah, that
rough part of the world, seventeen fifty. What you think, No,
I'd guess that I've seen the greatest shaman.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
It was intended solely for the viewing pleasure of the
imperial family. Interesting, that's classic, isn't it. Like me a
lie and.
Speaker 7 (34:01):
You'd be very anti zoo actually, know the more I
think about it, because you're all about let things run free.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, there's some zoos that do good like rehab, rehab
and like conservation and stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
There's some good ones Okay, what else is coming up tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
It's international be kind to lay lawyer's day.
Speaker 7 (34:19):
Well, lawyers invented this one.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah, And I think like the thing I see with
lawyers is like it's offset by the pay. You don't
get to get paid really well, yes, and be loved
by everyone. No, there's not many jobs where that's true.
Speaker 7 (34:35):
That's a really good point. I mean maybe like Taylor Swift.
Oh no, she's got her haters. Yeah, she's written songs
about them. So I guess is there You're right, because
is there a job that pays really well and comes
with a lot of public affection as well?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Probably not many, I guess, like outside of Hollywood, Like
you've got your actors obviously, I reckon.
Speaker 7 (34:54):
Like surgeons have a good rate.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 7 (34:57):
They get paid well and people like them really.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
But lawyers, I guess, because why do people not like lawyers?
Speaker 7 (35:05):
Usually because they like the job is professional lying well,
representing a story, well, not lying, but your job legitimately
you're paid to represent a story.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
And I think sometimes, like you, you might be paid
to get someone off who shouldn't get off.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
Well, but either way, like your whole job is to
take just to take one person side of the story
and remove anything that makes that look potentially unlikely.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Now on the International Be Kind of Lawyers Day website
is a quote, yeah from William Shakespeare. Is that you
tell me if you think this is right? An actual
Shakespeare quote? First thing we do, let's kill all the
lawyers William Shakespeare.
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Yeah, that actually could be possible. Really, I reckon say, yeah,
that doesn't seem likely. Why would they put that on
Big kind of Lawyer's Day.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I think they're showing the people who were against lawyers.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
Well, we can't even much beet Shakespeare.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
He's dead. They got one up on him.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
Well you gave me kind of a lawyer mate, and
I'll do Zoo Day. Yeah, I'll go find some manatees
and then there.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
