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 feature rolls Zach and.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Have you ever felt like this? Like strange? This this happens
when second gifts.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
This is Zak and oh good evening Australia. It is
a pleasure on and a gift to be your accomplices
through the evening.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Accomplice is not often used positively, is it. It's a
good point, like when you get married. They don't say
your accomplices for life, although sometimes people do. But as
a bit of a funny thing, yes, partners in.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Crime, do you reckon people who actually do crime together?
Sometimes do it? Like the alternate joke like love of
my life they're both.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Married kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, my work wife.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Look, it's great to be here anyway. But I mean,
speaking of crime, I hear that stuff's going on in
your world.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
What would you do if you saw your neighbor's house
being robbed? That was the situation I found myself in. Wow,
and it got pretty heavy goodness.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So when we just happened to banter about crime just then,
it was a perfect segue and before let's say, before nine, Yeah,
we'll do that fascinating is everything? Is everyone all right?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well you have to wait and see.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Goodness, Well we'll get there shortly. Coming up after this, though, Zach,
I received a package at my house today in the
mail and who this person this package was addressed to.
The person it was addressed to has left me absolutely stumped.
I'll let you know what happened there on the other
side of this.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
This is second.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Time I need the help of the people of Australia.
I received a very unusual package in the post that's
just arrived and I'm not really sure what to do
with it. At the front door was sitting there waiting
for me a box that had been posted from Mecca.
You know, the skin clear sort of giant Ah.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, makeup and stuff, right, all that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Sort of stuff that they do. Here's the catch. I mean, firstly,
I haven't ordered anything from Mecca.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You haven't worn in a few years.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No. I did. Used to put makeup over pimples occasionally.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
A male makeup line.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, well, you thought it was quite funny because I
just bought the cheap cover girl whatever it is, from Kmart.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You had no idea what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I didn't know. I just wanted to cover the pimple
up if we were going to be, you know, filming
a video more obvious though, Yeah, I don't know anything
about makeup. So I was like, what's a mecha package
doing being sent to my place? I look at it
on the box. It's addressed to my former partner. Uh oh,
now this is somebody I broke up with over three
years ago. Well, she broke up with me over three
(02:49):
years ago. We were engaged. It was a bit messy
three years back. That's that's ancient history now. But somehow
a package from address to her has rocked up at
my place three and a bit years later.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Are you sus that it was done intentionally?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Why would it be done intentionally? What would what could
the motive be?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Make you think about it?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's an expensive thing though, No, but yeah, you still
want the package?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, right, so you're making an online order. I'm not
suggesting this is it. I'm just saying that that is
a possibility that, like, if you wanted to make the
person think about you, you might be like, whoops, because
three years that seems like a long time. I don't
know how often people buy makeup, Hey, Cass, would you
buy make up more frequently than once every three years.
(03:38):
Cass is our producer.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
One hundred okay, yeah, okay, So what do you think
is going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Cass?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I'm with Zach one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
She's trying to get your attention.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
See that wasn't my to think of that. No, No,
My assumption was that she's I'll be honest, details orient
it was never her strong story.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Right, Okay, Well, we didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
She did live at that place with me for a
year or so. So my theory was she must have
ordered make up then, and it was the say, pre
saved address that just auto delivered there.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Was she into makeup? Would it be? You know? Which?
Does it look like a three year supply that she's getting.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's a significantly sized box. Yeah, okay, So I just
assumed that she's probably made a mistake. She at this stage,
she's probably wondering I got a text saying that delivery
was out today. Why hasn't it arrived? And I've got
it at my place now. We haven't spoken in a while,
and what I want to know on thirteen one oh
six five is what do you think I should do
with this box? Do I give it? Do I send
(04:35):
it back to her. Is it mine to keep?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Do I return to sender? I mean, what do you
do with this situation? I think if you don't want.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
To enter, yeah, the reconnection, you know, if you don't
want to talk, return to sender. It's been sent to
the wrong address.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Okay, interesting, and then.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
They can follow it up with the with the company.
Yeah okay. But I mean if you were on good terms,
if you saw them semi often, then you might be Oh,
if you had a mutual friend, yeah, you can say, hey,
can you pass this on?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I mean, here's the other.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, you've scored yourself some makeup.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So next time a pimple pops up, I'll have the
good gear this time. What would you do? Produce a cash?
What do you reckon? I should do?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm really into deep hop at the moments, I'd sell that,
all right, that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, I could make some money out of this.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I mean probably technically illegal, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
She got it sent to my head.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, but it doesn't have your name on it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
But it's my property, so you'd be opening someone else's mail.
That's complex though. If it if someone else your.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Address to you, it's not about the address, It's about
the name, is it. Yeah? Okay, then well you can't
open someone else's mail from your address. Fair cool? Fair cool?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Look third in one O six ' five, I want
people's thoughts on this. What would you do with this box?
What should I do with this box? Because I mean,
I don't really probably want to have to ring her
up and say hey, I've got your box. I don't
know where she's living at the moment, I don't know
how to get it to her, so I'm not really
sure what the best approach would be. Thirteen one sixty five.
If you've come across a package that's been sent to
(06:04):
you with your ex's name on it, what would you
do with the box? We got stab in Melbourne? What
should I do? Stav?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Look, honestly, I think you should just give it away
to a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Caller that really needs make up. Much myself.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I was very luck for her that she didn't read
Doric to a current andress.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, it's good, give it to me. It's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It's a compelling case from Stam.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Now, I feel like if you hadn't shared the story
on air, like maybe the package could just disappear. Yeah,
and you know, no one would ever know because how
would they follow it up? It would be difficult to know. However,
now that you've kind of said it on the radio,
it would be hard to take the makeup for your.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Own Yeah, you're right, Yeah, for my own purposes if
I was to just hold onto it or give it
away to stab. There's now a clear audio trail. But
do people listen to this show?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Not many, but probably enough, yeah, you know for it
to get back.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We have ABS in Sydney on thirteen one oh six five. Abs.
What do you reckon I should do with this this package?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Well, it's a trap. Throw it away?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's a trap.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
What do you mean it's a trap? That's mine game?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So you're telling me this is the first time in
three years that you've got.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
A package and make up? Yeah yeah, yeah, for sure
she's ordered makeup before. And why has it up to
three years when you appeared at your doors? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay. So when you say it's a trap, ABS, are
you sort of in xact's way of thinking that this
is to get me to reach out or do you
think there might act it might be bugged that there's
a microphone in the box.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's for you to reach out. Yeah, yeah, reconnect.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I just I don't understand that though. Wouldn't you just
send a message yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
So like it. It's so nonchalant. It feels like it's serendipitous, right,
so you just go, oh yeah, okay, well I guess
I'll come around and get that. So anyway, how have
you been or maybe well, yeah, like could you bring
that around? Maybe you could bring it around and we'll
meet at the cafe. Hey, well we're here, let's have
a coffee. Okay. See that's the how, like seamlessly you
(08:09):
could work it into a reconnection.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, but I just people that malicious, people that calculating.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I know you're not gonna want me to bring them up,
but I feel like you've done worse.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I have not done, not worse, not worse, but around
that language, you've done a lot of No, you're talking
about the Tailor Swift shirt and that doesn't care because
we were dating. But yes, I dated a Tailor Swift
fan once and I wanted her to like me more
so I did buy a Tailor Swift shirt to make
me look like I was a fan.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You know, you hit a Taylor swift shirt in the
back of your car. You did the same with a
what was it, a sumo salad wrapper, So she thought
that you were healthy.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Okay, but that was a long time ago, and to
begin with, I was, I was already and that.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Wasn't actually what I was thinking of. I was thinking
about how you met that girl. That concept.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Okay, that story.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, I'm not going to say.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
No, no, no, that story is vaulted. That doesn't come out. Yeah,
I'm not saying yeah, well, you're get enough that now
it sounds really bad. It's not bad. It's just crafty. Okay. Well, look,
I think I think ads. You're telling me, don't even
return to send to it. You think straight in the
straight in the bin, in the bin. Okay, all right, well,
(09:30):
I think that's probably my my way here. I mean,
the other opportunity to bury it away somewhere, you know,
like a long way away, because I feel I just
feel a bit guilty about throwing it out. If I
put it you don't throw it out, So you you
would disagree with that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Do you think your friend find someone who knew both
of you and they can deliver it back.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I'm just going to put it in the back of
a cupboard. That's what I reckon, back of a cupboard.
That way, if she ever happens to shove and say, hey,
you've got my package, I can go yeah, yeah, that's right,
to see you somewhere. But I don't want to have
to do anything with it. Just put it in the
back of a cupboard, put it with the Christmas decorations
or something, and then I don't have to think about
it again. Yeah, I reckon that's a good strategy. You
don't think that's a good strategy.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
That's fine, Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, okay, all right, Well, do you know what out
of all of this, maybe I have learned a new
tactic I can earn to my playbook.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
What would you do if you looked out your window
and you saw your neighbor's house being robbed? That's the
situation I found myself in over the weekend on hew,
what time of day was this? Nine thirty at night?
I went to I was in bed with my wife. Yeah,
I heard like a truck that was like, it felt
too close. It's a quiet street, you know. Yeah, So
when you're in the dead of the night. It was
(10:41):
not really dead at the night night thirty, but it's
pretty quiet. Yeah, I'm like that there's a truck idling.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Now when you say truck, are you talking like a
full sort of hauling sort of machinery.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Because I'm in bed. Yeah, so I just hear this
kind of truck idling because I've got the window open.
And you know, sometimes too, if there's a car parked
on one of your neighbors driveway, there's a bit more
light around. Yeah, it was kind of like this red
light outside. I was like, what's going on there?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, something filters through.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So I snuck out, you know, didn't turn on any
of the lights. I'm like, I've got to go investigate
this truck.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And in your head was the Pink Panther music playing
as you were sneaking out?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah? Why not? And so I jumped out of bed,
you know, I didn't want to serve my wife, but
I like went down the front, didn't turn on any lights,
and I'm just like trying to look onto their front
porch and I can see a guy on their front
porch kind of running back and forth from the truck,
and I'm like, holy moly, what do you do in
this situation?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Wow? So it wasn't ambiguous like it was no, you
couldn't think of another possible explanation for what you'll know.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
And also that I knew that for the weekend my
neighbors were away, so it was like a dead quiet house.
There was no lights on. And also I've been given
the responsibility, as often you do with neighbors, Yeah, look
out for the house. So they'd asked you to do Yeah, yeah,
you know, did you do that when your neighbors are away?
It's like put out the bins and just keep an
eye on the house. And I never know what that
really means because it's like, like, do you want me
(12:03):
to do patrol? Yeah? Yeah, what does look out for
the house mean?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Okay, so you're now in real time watching a robbery
take place, and it seems a very well staged robbery.
What do you mean, Well, they've got a truck there
to load the goods onto, Like, this isn't we're going
to break in, take one thing and get out. This
is a genuine We've got the truck, we've got the transportation,
we've got the escape car to get away car.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I was thinking, do I go out. Do I yell
from the house to interrupt it? Do I go and
just kind of go, hey, what's going on here? I thought, No,
I don't think you get in between. It's not worth risking,
you know, my well being for a TV. I'm like,
you know, they can I'll just try to see what
I can see.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Did you consider at any stage doing what I did
when I was younger and thought that there were burglars
in the house and playing a police siren sound effect
through my speakers, thinking that that to hear a police
can't sound it close and bolt.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
That's not a bad idea. But wouldn't they think, what's
the police car coming from that room? It's like the
police seemed to be hiding in that guy's bed. Yeah,
you need some sort of surround sound scenario. So this
is what I settle for. Like they're also getting into
the truck at this point, so I've caught him at
the end of.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It, And could you make out any features?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No? And you know it was really obstructed too, there's
like trees in the way. I didn't have a good view.
So what I did is they I knew they would
have to drive past my house on their way out,
of the street. So I set myself up by the
window with my phone and I was like, I'm going
to film the truck as it flies past.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I'll get the number plant.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, And so then I have a record so I
can call the police and say, hey, this was for
the truck, and I can tell my neighbors, Hey, this
is for the truck that was at your house. Gotcha.
Truck goes past, I take a video, speeds up the street.
Look at the video later Woolworths home delivery. Now why
(13:56):
were they delivery at n at nine?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You know what I mean? Either that or it's the
perfect I didn't consider that it's the perfect cover. Yeah,
because everyone goes it's the wool Works record it. Yeah,
they've got the TV. Then I wonder how many times
the warl Worst delivery vent has been called to the police.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
You must do it after hours. Yes, that's the first
time I've ever seen it.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And I really think the probably wol Worst workers need
to stop wearing ballet class.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
The Zack and Tom podcast Getting to Know You get all.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
This is just a chance where we spin a wheel, Zach,
and the wheel is full of some of the stories
from my past, from your past. Whatever comes up, the
person has to respond.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Some of them are true, some of them are false,
some of them are exaggerated. It's a chance to set
the story straight, I guess, as well as a little
bit of background on Yes, who we are, where we've
come from. You know you're hearing these voices for the
first time. Who are zaking don?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And the wheel has Oh it's a zach Knight. Okay, wonderful.
Give the envelope, Pas, we've signed up to a Zach
and let's see which story we've got here out and
I'll respond, Okay, true or false?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Did you once do a radio show in a stranger's garage?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Forgot about that? Yes, that is true, and there's actually
nothing I need to clarify that that. That's one I
worked when I did community radio. Someone had a good
idea or they thought it was a good idea to
do live broadcasts from Christmas lights. You know how people
put up Christmas lights. Yeah, yeah, so you could, like
(15:36):
you could register to get me to come to your
house and the show was just me. Yeah, you were
just the hot and they would set up speakers that
I would broadcast from your house.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And obviously the whole radio station team came with you.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That night, or I think there's one promo person. Okay,
so you think it was me and one promo person.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You show up with all of the radio equipment summer.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And so the show started at seven and it was
still daylight, so like the Briss lights weren't even on yet.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But I can imagine, like all the big Christmas lights displays,
you know, you've got hundreds of people milling around getting
their photos. The people who you're doing it, they're like, oh,
this is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
There was not one person there from the community. The
only person there was the owner of the house and
their family. No, not their family, just him. Okay. So
I was in his garage about to start a radio show,
and I thought, great, I'm doing a radio show to
one person. And then as you know, seven o'clock rolls
around to start this show, he says to me, I'm
actually going to duck out to get some dinner. You
(16:31):
right here. So I'm like, I'm doing a radio show
to literally no one, just stuck in this garage by myself. Actually,
you know what, my wife came that night, I really
remembering now. Yeah, So it was my wife, me and
a promo person and they's nice. No one else it's
a record night for ratings for that station. Well, it
came good. Actually, I was surprised how madly considering community
(16:52):
radio is like local stuff. This is really low key stuff.
But it at the start of the night, I honestly
was fighting back a panic attack. Yeah, I imagine. I
was like, I can't do this, this is this is
a real low point in my life.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I'd feel uncomfortable in a stranger's garage generally let leone
to have to do a radio show.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That it actually came good. Some people came down. It
was pretty fun. Actually in the end, there you go, Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Now you've had a radio career that spanned about fifteen years. Now, Zach,
was that the lowest ebb? Do you reckon doing a
radio show to nobody in a stranger's garage?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Is the end? The lowest EBB was the moment when
I drove past the house and realized what was about
to happen, and I parked two streets away and then
called my boss and said I can't do this, and
he said it's meant to be bad. That's the joke.
And I was like, is it? Did the audience know that.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Maybe we should recreate that here and we should do
the show from someone's garage one night.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
That would be fun. Yeah, yeah, we could do a
tour of people's houses. Yeah, just you know, like each
night of the week we go to someone else's house. Yes,
that's not a bad idea actually, but like see now
it would kind of make sense because it's a bit
of a contrast. It's like, oh, this is a proper
radio show and a proper station, isn't it crazy? It's
in our front yard, whereas like back then it was
(18:11):
like who's this guy and who let him in?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
This is Zac and Tom.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
What an exciting time you have chosen to tune in, Zach,
because this little corner of the show is the space
for liberation.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
We're letting Dom's ideas run wild. This is free Dom.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yes, we have been told by the powers at be
in the radio land that there is one section of
the show we must give to DOMP somewhere where any
of his ideas go. They can't be turned down, no
one can veto them.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, it's basically a safe space for me to bring
any ideas I want. And this was necessary because for
so many years of working with you, Zach, I would
pitch idea after idea, after I tell them to you
in our morning meeting, and then I'd never see them
in the show.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Plan you could never get him on the ball.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I don't know what was happening, but they would never
get their way into the show. So this is a
space for me to just basically do whatever I'd like
to do.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
We produce a cass outside the studio, answering phones. I'm
on this side of the desk. We both can't do anything.
We've got our hands up you kind of like this
is a radio hold up. John's taking us hostage mate,
and he's now about to broadcast whatever he wants.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
This is where the magic happens. Do you not remember
last year how much fun we had talking about our
favorite stationary jobs, people talking about loving, laminating and stapling.
That was That was honestly unprecedented radio.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Can we be real here? Freedom hasn't had a hit
for a while. He struggling.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Have you been in a science lab before They don't
come up with a massive cure every time they put
something in the test tube.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, but just in radio like like, it does have
to be a certain level.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well, Okay, it's a new year. Yeah, it's a new freedom,
and I thought, why not start Freedom for twenty twenty
five this segment of Liberal by going big, let's do
a cash giveaway in Freedom.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You've got approval for this?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, Well do I have to ask for that?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Well, where's the cash coming from?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I'm going to supply the cash.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
You're giving cash from your own.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Min I'm going to give my own cash away on
the show. It's a new segment that I've come up with.
It's called dom Dom's Dollar. You didn't even get the name, right,
I just stumbled on it. Dom's Dollar. It's called Dom's dollar,
like dom dollar, like dom dollar, Dom's dollar. I found
a dollar coin in my car today. Yeah, I'm going
(20:34):
to give it away to someone. Oh cash come in
your way Australia.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Is there any like dom dollar production made? Like a
any What do you mean, like an opener?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, just some music or something, or is just you
just using Dom's dollar Dom Dollar? That would be in
a good idea.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah, I mean I could play if you.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Had let us in. I'm sure Producer Cash has some
interesting things to contribute as well. But this is why
it's good to let us into the idea.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Mate. But if I'd let you into the idea, do
you know you would have domesticated it? This is like
it's a wild animal that's raw. Yeah, yea, yeah you would.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Some of the things I might have said were like,
do people want to win one dollar? Usually it's like,
you know, hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well, let's find out thirteen one oh six five doms dollar?
Do you want it? It's all yours if you call
up now, thirteen one oh six five? Is that number again?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Now? Do you have any sound effects that would go
even just with a cash giveaway?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, yeah, I got one of those.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I'll play this when I give it away in a
bit that sounds like more than one coin though, well it's.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
One coin bouncing a lot of times. Look, thirteen one
oh six five. I'm serious. We're gonna give one dollar
in cold hard cash away on the show after this
if you make your compelling case as to why you
deserve that dollar thirty one oh six five, and it's
coming your way.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Do you want sad stories?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Either that or maybe you're at a vending machine and
it's probably not much you can get for a dollar
out of it. You don't want sad stories, No, no, no, no,
I don't want sad stories. Well, sad stories if if
you're thirsty and you can't afford a icy cold cann
and coke and the vending machine, that's a sad story.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
But no.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Generally, I'm thinking how would a dollar do with the dog?
How would a dollar change your life? Think about that?
All the things you could do with a dollar, It
could become in your way.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
What could you do with a dollar?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
So many things? Mate, so many? Can you think of
any You can buy a couple of gumballs, that's one
of them in an old gumbele. You know, you put
the dollar in, you rotate it.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I think that's usually twenty cents, isn't it. You could
find somewhere that would change the dollar you five twenty cents?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Done? Yeah, sold budding sausage, sizzle? How much is a
can of soft drink?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
There? Like two dollars?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Usually we're halfway there.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Contribute one dollar of your own.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Look that in six five. If you would like to
win Dom's dollar.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
This is not a joke.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
You're not going into the draw. Someone is actually going
to win Dom's dollar. On the other side of this.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
What a brilliant time you've chosen to tune into this
radio show.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
We're letting Dom's ideas run wild. This is free Dom.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
This is the section of the show where Dom can
do whatever he wants. Usually it has to be democratic,
Zach and Dom. Let's being Dom and then produce a cast.
All have to agree to do a segment. Not right now,
Dom can do whatever he wants. No one can shut
him down, no one can stop him. There's no gatekeepers.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
For too long I have been silenced, and now hear me.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Raw and let's see what he has to say.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Well, look, it's a good one in freedom at the moment.
Because very rarely on this show, Zach, you know, it's
not one of the biggest time slots, So rarely do
we get to give big cash giveaways.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
No, yeah, I don't think we've ever given away cold
hard cash, not much, not much.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But right now we are in the midst of a
genuine cold hard cash giveaway. We are playing a brand
new game and it's called Dom's Dollar. I found one
dollar one dollar coin in the in my car today,
in that tray next to it you drive. What do
you call that?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
A coin? Track?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The coin?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
There you go?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I found a dollar coin there and I thought, do
you know what, I'm going to give this away on
the show.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Oh, he's so generous. I'm just going to do it
in this cost of living crisis.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I know. This guy's given away his cold hard cash.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I mean, I'd be uncomfortable if you call me a hero,
So please don't.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I think you're safe there.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Okay, Well here's what I've asked of that in one
O six ' five. Why do you want the dollar?
I only have one dollar to give away and it's
genuinely about to go to somebody. This is historic radio
as you go to Cyril in Melbourne? What would you
do with this dollar? Hi, you're a bit choppy for us, Saria.
(24:43):
What are you going to do with the dollar?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I'm going to keep it from myself and like take
it along with me to the shopping complex where I
can get trolley from one dollar, and that way I
keep it from ever with me and use it at
the same time trolley.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's a good call because like at.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Audi and stuff like that, you have to put a
dollar in to get the trolley out a dollar deposit.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, so think about how this show could change Cyrell's
life right now?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well, I think what Cerell's describing is stealing a trolley.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah right, A dollar could buy your trolley kind of well,
it could release a trolley for you.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I mean, if you go to Cole's and woollies, they're free.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
That is true, Kelly, aren't that in one A six five?
I imagine you're a bit nervous for the something like
one dollar in cold haide cash on the line, Kelly,
But tell us how this would change your life. It
would change my life because it'd be bring me one
dollar closer to saving for my American basketball trip.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's a good question you bring up, Kelly dom What
currency is the dollar?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It's an Australian dollar.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Okay, so not worth as much in America.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
No, no, no, But but we could play a part
in sending Kelly to the US.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Would you consider bumping your way up to usd That
would be what like a dollar sixty or something? No,
too much, not made of money?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Not doing that? I mean, could you go.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Have a look at the coin tray, see what else
is it?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The exchange rates nuts At the moment, I'm not doing that,
but I I mean, this could be massive. We could
say we sent a listener to America. What do you guys?
Do this yet a massive giveaway? Send a listener to America?
That's not untrue.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Usually though, it's like the radio station pays for all
the expenses, not just one five that way, Kelly, what's
the overall cost of the trip that you need funded?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Just over seven thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Okay, that's quite a lie, isn't it? Kelly?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Can I say something crazy to you? I shouldn't say this.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, what's he going to do? Is this?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Kelly? How would you feel if we did make it
two dollars?
Speaker 4 (26:52):
That would be pretty good?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
He's doubling it. I just I know it's a lot.
It's a lot. I need to check with producer cast
producer casts? Are we allowed to do that? Can we
do it to two dollars?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh my god, I'm getting nervous. I have to check.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
You call the boss, You call the boss.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I love how Cass can't even pretend. Cass is used
to working on much bigger shows that actually do cash.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Give always boll we have one more applicant, for Dom's dollar.
We've got Ben on thirteen one six five. Ben, you've
heard that Surreal wants a trolley and Kelly wants to
partially find a trip to America. What could this dollar
do for you? You guys, I believe are looking at
it all the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's not about the tangible assets. It's about a journey.
So that dollar could fund zero point five liters.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Of petrol in today's market.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
That could take you to McDonald's, or could maybe introduce
you to the woman of your dreams.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You never know where's down the road, do you, Ben?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You never know? It could be Yeah, it could be McDonald's,
or it could Would you do that?
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Then?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
If you had it, though, what would you do with it?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Look to be honest, probably try and scab a sip
of a pint.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
At the local pub for a dollar, Yeah, a cigarette
for a dollar?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, Well you know what the sip of the pint
could be from the love of your life, as you
mentioned there. I mean this this is nerve wracking, Zach
for everyone involved. If you've just joined the show, one
of our listeners is about to get one dollar richer.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
The segment was called Dom Dollar after Dom dollar because
Dom the radio announcer was giving away a dollar. I
don't think you've mentioned that the last five minutes. I
thought that was the whole theming of the idea.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Dom's Dollar. I thought it was just in the name.
People would pick that up, Dom's Dollar.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Okay, well, now it's at the big point. I thought
you might have some production or something.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, you can't you hear the suspenseful music playing underneath
right now, mate, you're ruining all the theater.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Gosh.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I know to you a dollar mightn't seem like a
lot in your ivory tower, but to us, for every
day people, it's big money. And I can announce right
now on the show the winner of Dom's Dollar is Kelly.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh, thank you, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
We're sending you to the US kind of congratulations. Tell
us how you're feeling pretty good given it's getting me closer. Oh,
it's hard to speak, I understand that, but look, Kelly, congratulations.
Enjoy the dollar and everything it brings your way. This
is second m My eyes were caught by a story recently, Zach.
(29:37):
I think it might be the first time in twenty
twenty five. That's something un Australian has happened your market
on the calendar.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It's a big one four. So we got through January
without something being un Australian.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
We got through January without an un Australian in the news, right.
And this this story is about the alcohol price hike.
So you had about this.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I mean there's been a price hike on everything. I
thought alcohol was up to this point. Yeah, it kind
of had gone up, had don't it.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think once or twice a year the index price
of alcohol. I didn't know this. I've read this from
the piece. It changes now apparently if you want to
buy a liter of beer.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Which is famously how you buy it, I.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Know it's I didn't know that beer had a per
leader price like petrol, but it does. It used to
be sixty one dollars thirty two cents a leader and lita.
Yeah yeah, it's now sixty one dollars fifty seven a liter.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
This is what it.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, it doesn't sound like to me either, does it.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
That doesn't make any mate.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
This is what the articles say. This could be a
specialty beer. The point is all beer.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's got like like straight alcohol.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
No, no, no beer. This is so it changes on
what the alcohol is, but all alcohol's gone up on
the index pricing?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
So what does that mean though? What does that mean
for a stubby?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
It probably will cost you ten cents more?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
All right, roughly, So if that's not that doesn't sound
an Australian. That just sounds like inflation.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Well, and this was my question to you, right, what
is Australia.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You're not standing by it being what's the headline?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Read me whatation? Well, the accusation is alcohol price hike?
Is un Australian? That's the headline. And I did some googling.
I've pulled up some news stories from the last year
that have been called un Australian. Yeah, hit me with that,
and I'm trying to figure out what un Australian actually is.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Because that was like anything negative against beer Australian.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
All right, So Kemar copied a small businesses product? Is
that an Australian? I mean, it's it's not a nice
thing to do. Is it an Australian? I don't know
that was one of them.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I guess they're trying to say, like, you know, going
after a little guy.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Is it about using a kabana on the beach to
reserve your spot?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Is that on Australia. Yeah, I think that is un Australian.
That feels very European. You shouldn't have to book a
spot at the beach.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Energy companies dropping the amount of money they pay you
for solar for getting solar into the grid. Is that
on Australia.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That's interesting, that one because with the new forms of energy, Yes,
we're going to have to figure out what's Australian and
whatsot because there's no hard and fast rule on that
because it's only been around for.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
A few years, so it's hard to tell if it's
Australian or not. Right, I mean, this one's obvious. An
Australian swim coach back to Korean rival at the Olympics,
that's that's literally, that's literally un Australian. The eight dollars
fifty sausage sizzle last year.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, very Australian.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
What about tim Tams costing six dollars a packet? Is
that on Australian? Okay, all right, so you're giving most
of these the tick mowing your side of the Median strip,
but not your neighbors. That was called an Australian by
the Daily Mail last year.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
That's Australian. I see that every time I go for
a drive around the neighborhood. You got to got to
draw the line somewhere.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
And the last one that was called on Australian in
the last year an ice cream shop no longer offering
free samples? Is that on Australian.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Australian A great Australian tradition of getting a free sample.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Well, and this is what I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
We used this to passionate about that well, that you
should get a free sample. No, I'm in support of
the people who pulled it. Why I've told you about this?
What do you mean? It really annoys me? People get samples? See,
are you a samples guy?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Sometimes I don't mind dabbling with a sample. What's wrong
with the sample?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Uh, it's gonna taste good. Yeah, it's ice cream. There's
no surprise poo flavor.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Like.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
They all taste like sugar and creamy treats. And then
the second point is if you don't like it and
you want to try something else, unless you're on death row,
you're gonna get another chance to have ice cream. See,
then you just make amends next time you get ice cream.
You're not investing in a house. Here, you're not signing
onto a mortgage, You're buying two scoops.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I certainly think there should be a limit to the
free samples you can have. Sometimes you do get stuck
behind someone twenty minutes making their mind up. I'm with
you on that.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
And when you're on the line, think about what you
might like. Yeah, spending the time in the line doing
your pondering.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Hang on, wait, am I even correctly? Are you calling
ice cream samples themselves an Australians?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I think I am, and I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
The Zack and Tom Podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
If you're ahead, make my day? Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Every single day is a holiday, But some of these
celebrations need our help. They're a little bit low key,
they're lesser known. That's why each night I bring two
to the show, both occurring in the next twenty four hours.
You and I have to pick one each to become
ambassadors for day.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Look I mean this. You might be thinking it's going
to be a boring Wednesday ahead of me tomorrow. Well
you couldn't be more wrong. Listen to the two days
that are about to be coming your way.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
What have we got? It's national fart day? Who let
the fart out?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Can I ask you?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
This hit me?
Speaker 2 (34:43):
When you were a kid, were you allowed to his
word fart at home?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
We said break wind?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yeah, we were allowed to say fluff.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I don't like sluff, No, nor do I. It actually
makes me more uncomfortable than far.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I agree with you on that too.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Is the soft f Yeah? Fart ends with a heart tea. Yes,
and that's kind of a nicer kind of word. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Did you ever have friends growing up whose families would
use other phrases.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
To when neighbor used windy windy okay, which is really
confusing when the West Indies cricket team would come over
because they were called the Windy's. Well, what are we
talking about?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I have an auntie Wendy and I remember once talking
about her to a New Zealand friend. That's what I
heard there when you said windy?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
So what ever gets confusing with Kiwi's?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
You know when they're down by the beach. Yeah, imagine
this situation. I'd love to your auntie Wendy is at
the beach with a New Zealand friend and they say, oh,
here's Windy. Now are they describing the weather at the beach.
He windy. It's windy.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
It's very confusing. It's a confusing accent, and they know
that they're well aware it's a musing accent. I won't
take any any cop back from the New Zealanders on
that phone.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
No no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
What's the point of fart Day?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Celebrate farts? You can make fart sounds. Apparently, Oh, this.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Is commercial radio's dream day. This is the day we've
been waiting.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
You can tell some fart jakes. You know, people have
been finding humor and farts for a long time. Apparently.
In seventeen twenty two, really, Jonathan Swift published a piece
of satire.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
That was called The Benefit of Farting Classic Jonathan Swift?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
What's he not get his mind away from fart?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
What's your favorite Jonathan Swift joke? Do you reckon? Whoopy
cushions are still a thing in the younger generation these days.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, I got done by well, you know, I tried
to get done by a whoopy cushion over Christmas with
my nieces.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
I mean, you tried to get done.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
I was told when I walked in not to look
at the seat by my nieces like they're like seven.
I think like six and eight. I think I think
they know in their minds. I still had no idea
what was happening. Yeah right, they got me.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Good, right, don't look at the seat A great way
to get someone out of the joke. Well, I like
fart day. What else have we got?
Speaker 1 (37:10):
It's National Weather Person Day, Okay, celebrate some of the
weather people. Who are the weather people, Sam Mack.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
We've had a bunch around Australia.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Grant Daniel was one for a while. GD. Yeah, but
they're not like they're the more fun ones on sunrise.
They're not the meteorology. They're not the ones in front
of the screen.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I'm gonna be honest. If I showed Sam Mack a chart,
I'm not sure he knows what to tell me about
the chart.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Does he know where to point?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I mean he can he can read off the autoque
and tell me about the weather. But does Sam Mack
if he looked at if he went to the Bureau
of Meteorology and he saw the cloud patterns, does he
know what's happening there? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I don't know, mate, Apparently you're encouraged on weather person
Day to show appreciation appreciation to weather.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
People, and I think this is over due because they've
been in the butt of many jokes, haven't they. Okay, yeah,
you know the whole idea. I mean, it's not so
much a joke anymore. But for decades when people everyone
watched the evening news, the whole idea would have been, oh,
you're as accurate as a weather person, because they would
always say it's not going to rain, and then it
rain and people would get personally mad at there.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
There's a bit of an faq here on the weather
person page, okay, and it says, FAQs, what are the
myths or myth misconceptions about weather forecasting? A common myth
is that meteorologists are frequently wrong. Modern forecasting is remarkably accurate.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
They claim, I think that's accurate. I think that's right.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
They say ninety percent of the time. I wouldn't say
that's remarkably accurate. Ninety percent. That means you're wrong one
out of ten. Yeah, every two weeks you're wrong one
and a half days.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
And that's the days people remember.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah, you wouldn't be better than ninety percent if you're
going to be telling me what the weather's going to be.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
You know, my dad's a bit of a weather nut.
If they if they had a TV show like Australian
Idol for aspiring weather readers, Dad would have gone on
that years ago. We call them the Richard of Meteorology,
the wrong which you came up with that name. He
loves the web.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Has he been giving you an updates recently?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Oh plenty. He thinks it's going to be a weddy
year than usual.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Why is that?
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
He tried to explain it to me. I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Would he know where to point on the chart?
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:08):
He would?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Oh mate, No, this man should send.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Off a little like make a little real for him,
like a sizle reel of him doing weather reports. That'd
be a hut and we'll send it to Channel seven.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
That is his dream to do a weather report like
he Honestly they should do.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Like because I can imagine a lot of middle aged
particularly men have the dream of being a weather presenter. Yes,
they should do on Friday nights the guest present you
know how you do that sometimes like kids get to
drive the tractor or something. Get dads in to read
the weather. Oh mate, that.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Would be massive. Does your dad want to be a
weather person? That's that's got enormous potential. Well, I reckon,
I probably have to take weather day for my dad
in honor of my dad. And that leaves you with
fart Day? Are you up for that?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
With pleasure?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
That is who I got time for on the show.
Make sure as you celebrate National Fart Day, celebrate responsibly
and check every seat that you're about to sit on
because you never know what might be there. Where You

A long time ago in a lab far far away,
a science experiment went horribly wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Out of that feature rolls Zach and.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Have you ever felt like this? Like strange? This this happens
when second gifts.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
This is Zak and oh good evening Australia. It is
a pleasure on and a gift to be your accomplices
through the evening.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Accomplice is not often used positively, is it. It's a
good point, like when you get married. They don't say
your accomplices for life, although sometimes people do. But as
a bit of a funny thing, yes, partners in.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Crime, do you reckon people who actually do crime together?
Sometimes do it? Like the alternate joke like love of
my life they're both.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Married kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, my work wife.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Look, it's great to be here anyway. But I mean,
speaking of crime, I hear that stuff's going on in
your world.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
What would you do if you saw your neighbor's house
being robbed? That was the situation I found myself in. Wow,
and it got pretty heavy goodness.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So when we just happened to banter about crime just then,
it was a perfect segue and before let's say, before nine, Yeah,
we'll do that fascinating is everything? Is everyone all right?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well you have to wait and see.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Goodness, Well we'll get there shortly. Coming up after this, though, Zach,
I received a package at my house today in the
mail and who this person this package was addressed to.
The person it was addressed to has left me absolutely stumped.
I'll let you know what happened there on the other
side of this.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
This is second.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Time I need the help of the people of Australia.
I received a very unusual package in the post that's
just arrived and I'm not really sure what to do
with it. At the front door was sitting there waiting
for me a box that had been posted from Mecca.
You know, the skin clear sort of giant Ah.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, makeup and stuff, right, all that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Sort of stuff that they do. Here's the catch. I mean, firstly,
I haven't ordered anything from Mecca.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
You haven't worn in a few years.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No. I did. Used to put makeup over pimples occasionally.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
A male makeup line.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, well, you thought it was quite funny because I
just bought the cheap cover girl whatever it is, from Kmart.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You had no idea what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I didn't know. I just wanted to cover the pimple
up if we were going to be, you know, filming
a video more obvious though, Yeah, I don't know anything
about makeup. So I was like, what's a mecha package
doing being sent to my place? I look at it
on the box. It's addressed to my former partner. Uh oh,
now this is somebody I broke up with over three
years ago. Well, she broke up with me over three
(02:49):
years ago. We were engaged. It was a bit messy
three years back. That's that's ancient history now. But somehow
a package from address to her has rocked up at
my place three and a bit years later.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Are you sus that it was done intentionally?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Why would it be done intentionally? What would what could
the motive be?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Make you think about it?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's an expensive thing though, No, but yeah, you still
want the package?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, right, so you're making an online order. I'm not
suggesting this is it. I'm just saying that that is
a possibility that, like, if you wanted to make the
person think about you, you might be like, whoops, because
three years that seems like a long time. I don't
know how often people buy makeup, Hey, Cass, would you
buy make up more frequently than once every three years.
(03:38):
Cass is our producer.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
One hundred okay, yeah, okay, So what do you think
is going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Cass?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I'm with Zach one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
She's trying to get your attention.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
See that wasn't my to think of that. No, No,
My assumption was that she's I'll be honest, details orient
it was never her strong story.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Right, Okay, Well, we didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
She did live at that place with me for a
year or so. So my theory was she must have
ordered make up then, and it was the say, pre
saved address that just auto delivered there.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Was she into makeup? Would it be? You know? Which?
Does it look like a three year supply that she's getting.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's a significantly sized box. Yeah, okay, So I just
assumed that she's probably made a mistake. She at this stage,
she's probably wondering I got a text saying that delivery
was out today. Why hasn't it arrived? And I've got
it at my place now. We haven't spoken in a while,
and what I want to know on thirteen one oh
six five is what do you think I should do
with this box? Do I give it? Do I send
(04:35):
it back to her. Is it mine to keep?
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Now?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Do I return to sender? I mean, what do you
do with this situation? I think if you don't want.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
To enter, yeah, the reconnection, you know, if you don't
want to talk, return to sender. It's been sent to
the wrong address.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Okay, interesting, and then.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
They can follow it up with the with the company.
Yeah okay. But I mean if you were on good terms,
if you saw them semi often, then you might be Oh,
if you had a mutual friend, yeah, you can say, hey,
can you pass this on?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I mean, here's the other.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, you've scored yourself some makeup.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So next time a pimple pops up, I'll have the
good gear this time. What would you do? Produce a cash?
What do you reckon? I should do?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I'm really into deep hop at the moments, I'd sell that,
all right, that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, I could make some money out of this.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I mean probably technically illegal, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
She got it sent to my head.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, but it doesn't have your name on it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
But it's my property, so you'd be opening someone else's mail.
That's complex though. If it if someone else your.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Address to you, it's not about the address, It's about
the name, is it. Yeah? Okay, then well you can't
open someone else's mail from your address. Fair cool? Fair cool?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Look third in one O six ' five, I want
people's thoughts on this. What would you do with this box?
What should I do with this box? Because I mean,
I don't really probably want to have to ring her
up and say hey, I've got your box. I don't
know where she's living at the moment, I don't know
how to get it to her, so I'm not really
sure what the best approach would be. Thirteen one sixty five.
If you've come across a package that's been sent to
(06:04):
you with your ex's name on it, what would you
do with the box? We got stab in Melbourne? What
should I do? Stav?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Look, honestly, I think you should just give it away
to a beautiful.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Caller that really needs make up. Much myself.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I was very luck for her that she didn't read
Doric to a current andress.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, it's good, give it to me. It's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It's a compelling case from Stam.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Now, I feel like if you hadn't shared the story
on air, like maybe the package could just disappear. Yeah,
and you know, no one would ever know because how
would they follow it up? It would be difficult to know. However,
now that you've kind of said it on the radio,
it would be hard to take the makeup for your.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Own Yeah, you're right, Yeah, for my own purposes if
I was to just hold onto it or give it
away to stab. There's now a clear audio trail. But
do people listen to this show?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Not many, but probably enough, yeah, you know for it
to get back.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We have ABS in Sydney on thirteen one oh six five. Abs.
What do you reckon I should do with this this package?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Well, it's a trap. Throw it away?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
It's a trap.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
What do you mean it's a trap? That's mine game?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So you're telling me this is the first time in
three years that you've got.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
A package and make up? Yeah yeah, yeah, for sure
she's ordered makeup before. And why has it up to
three years when you appeared at your doors? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay. So when you say it's a trap, ABS, are
you sort of in xact's way of thinking that this
is to get me to reach out or do you
think there might act it might be bugged that there's
a microphone in the box.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
It's for you to reach out. Yeah, yeah, reconnect.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
I just I don't understand that though. Wouldn't you just
send a message yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
So like it. It's so nonchalant. It feels like it's serendipitous, right,
so you just go, oh yeah, okay, well I guess
I'll come around and get that. So anyway, how have
you been or maybe well, yeah, like could you bring
that around? Maybe you could bring it around and we'll
meet at the cafe. Hey, well we're here, let's have
a coffee. Okay. See that's the how, like seamlessly you
(08:09):
could work it into a reconnection.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Yeah, but I just people that malicious, people that calculating.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I know you're not gonna want me to bring them up,
but I feel like you've done worse.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I have not done, not worse, not worse, but around
that language, you've done a lot of No, you're talking
about the Tailor Swift shirt and that doesn't care because
we were dating. But yes, I dated a Tailor Swift
fan once and I wanted her to like me more
so I did buy a Tailor Swift shirt to make
me look like I was a fan.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
You know, you hit a Taylor swift shirt in the
back of your car. You did the same with a
what was it, a sumo salad wrapper, So she thought
that you were healthy.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Okay, but that was a long time ago, and to
begin with, I was, I was already and that.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Wasn't actually what I was thinking of. I was thinking
about how you met that girl. That concept.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Okay, that story.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, I'm not going to say.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
No, no, no, that story is vaulted. That doesn't come out. Yeah,
I'm not saying yeah, well, you're get enough that now
it sounds really bad. It's not bad. It's just crafty. Okay. Well, look,
I think I think ads. You're telling me, don't even
return to send to it. You think straight in the
straight in the bin, in the bin. Okay, all right, well,
(09:30):
I think that's probably my my way here. I mean,
the other opportunity to bury it away somewhere, you know,
like a long way away, because I feel I just
feel a bit guilty about throwing it out. If I
put it you don't throw it out, So you you
would disagree with that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Do you think your friend find someone who knew both
of you and they can deliver it back.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
I'm just going to put it in the back of
a cupboard. That's what I reckon, back of a cupboard.
That way, if she ever happens to shove and say, hey,
you've got my package, I can go yeah, yeah, that's right,
to see you somewhere. But I don't want to have
to do anything with it. Just put it in the
back of a cupboard, put it with the Christmas decorations
or something, and then I don't have to think about
it again. Yeah, I reckon that's a good strategy. You
don't think that's a good strategy.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
That's fine, Yeah, yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, okay, all right, Well, do you know what out
of all of this, maybe I have learned a new
tactic I can earn to my playbook.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
What would you do if you looked out your window
and you saw your neighbor's house being robbed? That's the
situation I found myself in over the weekend on hew,
what time of day was this? Nine thirty at night?
I went to I was in bed with my wife. Yeah,
I heard like a truck that was like, it felt
too close. It's a quiet street, you know. Yeah, So
when you're in the dead of the night. It was
(10:41):
not really dead at the night night thirty, but it's
pretty quiet. Yeah, I'm like that there's a truck idling.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Now when you say truck, are you talking like a
full sort of hauling sort of machinery.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Because I'm in bed. Yeah, so I just hear this
kind of truck idling because I've got the window open.
And you know, sometimes too, if there's a car parked
on one of your neighbors driveway, there's a bit more
light around. Yeah, it was kind of like this red
light outside. I was like, what's going on there?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Yeah, something filters through.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So I snuck out, you know, didn't turn on any
of the lights. I'm like, I've got to go investigate
this truck.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And in your head was the Pink Panther music playing
as you were sneaking out?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah? Why not? And so I jumped out of bed,
you know, I didn't want to serve my wife, but
I like went down the front, didn't turn on any lights,
and I'm just like trying to look onto their front
porch and I can see a guy on their front
porch kind of running back and forth from the truck,
and I'm like, holy moly, what do you do in
this situation?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Wow? So it wasn't ambiguous like it was no, you
couldn't think of another possible explanation for what you'll know.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
And also that I knew that for the weekend my
neighbors were away, so it was like a dead quiet house.
There was no lights on. And also I've been given
the responsibility, as often you do with neighbors, Yeah, look
out for the house. So they'd asked you to do Yeah, yeah,
you know, did you do that when your neighbors are away?
It's like put out the bins and just keep an
eye on the house. And I never know what that
really means because it's like, like, do you want me
(12:03):
to do patrol? Yeah? Yeah, what does look out for
the house mean?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Okay, so you're now in real time watching a robbery
take place, and it seems a very well staged robbery.
What do you mean, Well, they've got a truck there
to load the goods onto, Like, this isn't we're going
to break in, take one thing and get out. This
is a genuine We've got the truck, we've got the transportation,
we've got the escape car to get away car.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I was thinking, do I go out. Do I yell
from the house to interrupt it? Do I go and
just kind of go, hey, what's going on here? I thought, No,
I don't think you get in between. It's not worth risking,
you know, my well being for a TV. I'm like,
you know, they can I'll just try to see what
I can see.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Did you consider at any stage doing what I did
when I was younger and thought that there were burglars
in the house and playing a police siren sound effect
through my speakers, thinking that that to hear a police
can't sound it close and bolt.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
That's not a bad idea. But wouldn't they think, what's
the police car coming from that room? It's like the
police seemed to be hiding in that guy's bed. Yeah,
you need some sort of surround sound scenario. So this
is what I settle for. Like they're also getting into
the truck at this point, so I've caught him at
the end of.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It, And could you make out any features?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No? And you know it was really obstructed too, there's
like trees in the way. I didn't have a good view.
So what I did is they I knew they would
have to drive past my house on their way out,
of the street. So I set myself up by the
window with my phone and I was like, I'm going
to film the truck as it flies past.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I'll get the number plant.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, And so then I have a record so I
can call the police and say, hey, this was for
the truck, and I can tell my neighbors, Hey, this
is for the truck that was at your house. Gotcha.
Truck goes past, I take a video, speeds up the street.
Look at the video later Woolworths home delivery. Now why
(13:56):
were they delivery at n at nine?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You know what I mean? Either that or it's the
perfect I didn't consider that it's the perfect cover. Yeah,
because everyone goes it's the wool Works record it. Yeah,
they've got the TV. Then I wonder how many times
the warl Worst delivery vent has been called to the police.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
You must do it after hours. Yes, that's the first
time I've ever seen it.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And I really think the probably wol Worst workers need
to stop wearing ballet class.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
The Zack and Tom podcast Getting to Know You get all.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
This is just a chance where we spin a wheel, Zach,
and the wheel is full of some of the stories
from my past, from your past. Whatever comes up, the
person has to respond.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Some of them are true, some of them are false,
some of them are exaggerated. It's a chance to set
the story straight, I guess, as well as a little
bit of background on Yes, who we are, where we've
come from. You know you're hearing these voices for the
first time. Who are zaking don?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And the wheel has Oh it's a zach Knight. Okay, wonderful.
Give the envelope, Pas, we've signed up to a Zach
and let's see which story we've got here out and
I'll respond, Okay, true or false?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Did you once do a radio show in a stranger's garage?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Forgot about that? Yes, that is true, and there's actually
nothing I need to clarify that that. That's one I
worked when I did community radio. Someone had a good
idea or they thought it was a good idea to
do live broadcasts from Christmas lights. You know how people
put up Christmas lights. Yeah, yeah, so you could, like
(15:36):
you could register to get me to come to your
house and the show was just me. Yeah, you were
just the hot and they would set up speakers that
I would broadcast from your house.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
And obviously the whole radio station team came with you.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That night, or I think there's one promo person. Okay,
so you think it was me and one promo person.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You show up with all of the radio equipment summer.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
And so the show started at seven and it was
still daylight, so like the Briss lights weren't even on yet.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But I can imagine, like all the big Christmas lights displays,
you know, you've got hundreds of people milling around getting
their photos. The people who you're doing it, they're like, oh,
this is wonderful.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
There was not one person there from the community. The
only person there was the owner of the house and
their family. No, not their family, just him. Okay. So
I was in his garage about to start a radio show,
and I thought, great, I'm doing a radio show to
one person. And then as you know, seven o'clock rolls
around to start this show, he says to me, I'm
actually going to duck out to get some dinner. You
(16:31):
right here. So I'm like, I'm doing a radio show
to literally no one, just stuck in this garage by myself. Actually,
you know what, my wife came that night, I really
remembering now. Yeah, So it was my wife, me and
a promo person and they's nice. No one else it's
a record night for ratings for that station. Well, it
came good. Actually, I was surprised how madly considering community
(16:52):
radio is like local stuff. This is really low key stuff.
But it at the start of the night, I honestly
was fighting back a panic attack. Yeah, I imagine. I
was like, I can't do this, this is this is
a real low point in my life.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I'd feel uncomfortable in a stranger's garage generally let leone
to have to do a radio show.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
That it actually came good. Some people came down. It
was pretty fun. Actually in the end, there you go, Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Now you've had a radio career that spanned about fifteen years. Now, Zach,
was that the lowest ebb? Do you reckon doing a
radio show to nobody in a stranger's garage?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Is the end? The lowest EBB was the moment when
I drove past the house and realized what was about
to happen, and I parked two streets away and then
called my boss and said I can't do this, and
he said it's meant to be bad. That's the joke.
And I was like, is it? Did the audience know that.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Maybe we should recreate that here and we should do
the show from someone's garage one night.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
That would be fun. Yeah, yeah, we could do a
tour of people's houses. Yeah, just you know, like each
night of the week we go to someone else's house. Yes,
that's not a bad idea actually, but like see now
it would kind of make sense because it's a bit
of a contrast. It's like, oh, this is a proper
radio show and a proper station, isn't it crazy? It's
in our front yard, whereas like back then it was
(18:11):
like who's this guy and who let him in?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
This is Zac and Tom.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
What an exciting time you have chosen to tune in, Zach,
because this little corner of the show is the space
for liberation.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
We're letting Dom's ideas run wild. This is free Dom.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yes, we have been told by the powers at be
in the radio land that there is one section of
the show we must give to DOMP somewhere where any
of his ideas go. They can't be turned down, no
one can veto them.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, it's basically a safe space for me to bring
any ideas I want. And this was necessary because for
so many years of working with you, Zach, I would
pitch idea after idea, after I tell them to you
in our morning meeting, and then I'd never see them
in the show.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Plan you could never get him on the ball.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I don't know what was happening, but they would never
get their way into the show. So this is a
space for me to just basically do whatever I'd like
to do.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
We produce a cass outside the studio, answering phones. I'm
on this side of the desk. We both can't do anything.
We've got our hands up you kind of like this
is a radio hold up. John's taking us hostage mate,
and he's now about to broadcast whatever he wants.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
This is where the magic happens. Do you not remember
last year how much fun we had talking about our
favorite stationary jobs, people talking about loving, laminating and stapling.
That was That was honestly unprecedented radio.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Can we be real here? Freedom hasn't had a hit
for a while. He struggling.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Have you been in a science lab before They don't
come up with a massive cure every time they put
something in the test tube.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, but just in radio like like, it does have
to be a certain level.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Well, Okay, it's a new year. Yeah, it's a new freedom,
and I thought, why not start Freedom for twenty twenty
five this segment of Liberal by going big, let's do
a cash giveaway in Freedom.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You've got approval for this?
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, Well do I have to ask for that?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Well, where's the cash coming from?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I'm going to supply the cash.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
You're giving cash from your own.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Min I'm going to give my own cash away on
the show. It's a new segment that I've come up with.
It's called dom Dom's Dollar. You didn't even get the name, right,
I just stumbled on it. Dom's Dollar. It's called Dom's dollar,
like dom dollar, like dom dollar, Dom's dollar. I found
a dollar coin in my car today. Yeah, I'm going
(20:34):
to give it away to someone. Oh cash come in
your way Australia.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Is there any like dom dollar production made? Like a
any What do you mean, like an opener?
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Well?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, just some music or something, or is just you
just using Dom's dollar Dom Dollar? That would be in
a good idea.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah, I mean I could play if you.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Had let us in. I'm sure Producer Cash has some
interesting things to contribute as well. But this is why
it's good to let us into the idea.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Mate. But if I'd let you into the idea, do
you know you would have domesticated it? This is like
it's a wild animal that's raw. Yeah, yea, yeah you would.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Some of the things I might have said were like,
do people want to win one dollar? Usually it's like,
you know, hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Well, let's find out thirteen one oh six five doms dollar?
Do you want it? It's all yours if you call
up now, thirteen one oh six five? Is that number again?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Now? Do you have any sound effects that would go
even just with a cash giveaway?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, yeah, I got one of those.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I'll play this when I give it away in a
bit that sounds like more than one coin though, well it's.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
One coin bouncing a lot of times. Look, thirteen one
oh six five. I'm serious. We're gonna give one dollar
in cold hard cash away on the show after this
if you make your compelling case as to why you
deserve that dollar thirty one oh six five, and it's
coming your way.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Do you want sad stories?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Either that or maybe you're at a vending machine and
it's probably not much you can get for a dollar
out of it. You don't want sad stories, No, no, no, no,
I don't want sad stories. Well, sad stories if if
you're thirsty and you can't afford a icy cold cann
and coke and the vending machine, that's a sad story.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
But no.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Generally, I'm thinking how would a dollar do with the dog?
How would a dollar change your life? Think about that?
All the things you could do with a dollar, It
could become in your way.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
What could you do with a dollar?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
So many things? Mate, so many? Can you think of
any You can buy a couple of gumballs, that's one
of them in an old gumbele. You know, you put
the dollar in, you rotate it.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I think that's usually twenty cents, isn't it. You could
find somewhere that would change the dollar you five twenty cents?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Done? Yeah, sold budding sausage, sizzle? How much is a
can of soft drink?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
There? Like two dollars?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Usually we're halfway there.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Contribute one dollar of your own.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Look that in six five. If you would like to
win Dom's dollar.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
This is not a joke.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
You're not going into the draw. Someone is actually going
to win Dom's dollar. On the other side of this.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
You're listening to the Zach and Dom podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
What a brilliant time you've chosen to tune into this
radio show.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
We're letting Dom's ideas run wild. This is free Dom.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
This is the section of the show where Dom can
do whatever he wants. Usually it has to be democratic,
Zach and Dom. Let's being Dom and then produce a cast.
All have to agree to do a segment. Not right now,
Dom can do whatever he wants. No one can shut
him down, no one can stop him. There's no gatekeepers.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
For too long I have been silenced, and now hear me.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Raw and let's see what he has to say.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Well, look, it's a good one in freedom at the moment.
Because very rarely on this show, Zach, you know, it's
not one of the biggest time slots, So rarely do
we get to give big cash giveaways.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
No, yeah, I don't think we've ever given away cold
hard cash, not much, not much.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But right now we are in the midst of a
genuine cold hard cash giveaway. We are playing a brand
new game and it's called Dom's Dollar. I found one
dollar one dollar coin in the in my car today,
in that tray next to it you drive. What do
you call that?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
A coin? Track?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The coin?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
There you go?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I found a dollar coin there and I thought, do
you know what, I'm going to give this away on
the show.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Oh, he's so generous. I'm just going to do it
in this cost of living crisis.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I know. This guy's given away his cold hard cash.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I mean, I'd be uncomfortable if you call me a hero,
So please don't.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I think you're safe there.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Okay, Well here's what I've asked of that in one
O six ' five. Why do you want the dollar?
I only have one dollar to give away and it's
genuinely about to go to somebody. This is historic radio
as you go to Cyril in Melbourne? What would you
do with this dollar? Hi, you're a bit choppy for us, Saria.
(24:43):
What are you going to do with the dollar?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I'm going to keep it from myself and like take
it along with me to the shopping complex where I
can get trolley from one dollar, and that way I
keep it from ever with me and use it at
the same time trolley.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's a good call because like at.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Audi and stuff like that, you have to put a
dollar in to get the trolley out a dollar deposit.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, so think about how this show could change Cyrell's
life right now?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Well, I think what Cerell's describing is stealing a trolley.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah right, A dollar could buy your trolley kind of well,
it could release a trolley for you.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I mean, if you go to Cole's and woollies, they're free.
That's true.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
That is true, Kelly, aren't that in one A six five?
I imagine you're a bit nervous for the something like
one dollar in cold haide cash on the line, Kelly,
But tell us how this would change your life. It
would change my life because it'd be bring me one
dollar closer to saving for my American basketball trip.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's a good question you bring up, Kelly dom What
currency is the dollar?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
It's an Australian dollar.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Okay, so not worth as much in America.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
No, no, no, But but we could play a part
in sending Kelly to the US.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Would you consider bumping your way up to usd That
would be what like a dollar sixty or something? No,
too much, not made of money?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Not doing that? I mean, could you go.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Have a look at the coin tray, see what else
is it?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
The exchange rates nuts At the moment, I'm not doing that,
but I I mean, this could be massive. We could
say we sent a listener to America. What do you guys?
Do this yet a massive giveaway? Send a listener to America?
That's not untrue.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Usually though, it's like the radio station pays for all
the expenses, not just one five that way, Kelly, what's
the overall cost of the trip that you need funded?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Just over seven thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Okay, that's quite a lie, isn't it? Kelly?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Can I say something crazy to you? I shouldn't say this.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, what's he going to do? Is this?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Kelly? How would you feel if we did make it
two dollars?
Speaker 4 (26:52):
That would be pretty good?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
He's doubling it. I just I know it's a lot.
It's a lot. I need to check with producer cast
producer casts? Are we allowed to do that? Can we
do it to two dollars?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Oh my god, I'm getting nervous. I have to check.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
You call the boss, You call the boss.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I love how Cass can't even pretend. Cass is used
to working on much bigger shows that actually do cash.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Give always boll we have one more applicant, for Dom's dollar.
We've got Ben on thirteen one six five. Ben, you've
heard that Surreal wants a trolley and Kelly wants to
partially find a trip to America. What could this dollar
do for you? You guys, I believe are looking at
it all the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's not about the tangible assets. It's about a journey.
So that dollar could fund zero point five liters.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Of petrol in today's market.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
That could take you to McDonald's, or could maybe introduce
you to the woman of your dreams.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
You never know where's down the road, do you, Ben?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You never know? It could be Yeah, it could be McDonald's,
or it could Would you do that?
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Ben?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Then?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
If you had it, though, what would you do with it?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Look to be honest, probably try and scab a sip
of a pint.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
At the local pub for a dollar, Yeah, a cigarette
for a dollar?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, Well you know what the sip of the pint
could be from the love of your life, as you
mentioned there. I mean this this is nerve wracking, Zach
for everyone involved. If you've just joined the show, one
of our listeners is about to get one dollar richer.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
The segment was called Dom Dollar after Dom dollar because
Dom the radio announcer was giving away a dollar. I
don't think you've mentioned that the last five minutes. I
thought that was the whole theming of the idea.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Dom's Dollar. I thought it was just in the name.
People would pick that up, Dom's Dollar.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Okay, well, now it's at the big point. I thought
you might have some production or something.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, you can't you hear the suspenseful music playing underneath
right now, mate, you're ruining all the theater.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Gosh.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I know to you a dollar mightn't seem like a
lot in your ivory tower, but to us, for every
day people, it's big money. And I can announce right
now on the show the winner of Dom's Dollar is Kelly.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh, thank you, Kelly.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
We're sending you to the US kind of congratulations. Tell
us how you're feeling pretty good given it's getting me closer. Oh,
it's hard to speak, I understand that, but look, Kelly, congratulations.
Enjoy the dollar and everything it brings your way. This
is second m My eyes were caught by a story recently, Zach.
(29:37):
I think it might be the first time in twenty
twenty five. That's something un Australian has happened your market
on the calendar.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It's a big one four. So we got through January
without something being un Australian.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
We got through January without an un Australian in the news, right.
And this this story is about the alcohol price hike.
So you had about this.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I mean there's been a price hike on everything. I
thought alcohol was up to this point. Yeah, it kind
of had gone up, had don't it.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think once or twice a year the index price
of alcohol. I didn't know this. I've read this from
the piece. It changes now apparently if you want to
buy a liter of beer.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Which is famously how you buy it, I.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Know it's I didn't know that beer had a per
leader price like petrol, but it does. It used to
be sixty one dollars thirty two cents a leader and lita.
Yeah yeah, it's now sixty one dollars fifty seven a liter.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
This is what it.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, it doesn't sound like to me either, does it.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
That doesn't make any mate.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
This is what the articles say. This could be a
specialty beer. The point is all beer.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
It's got like like straight alcohol.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
No, no, no beer. This is so it changes on
what the alcohol is, but all alcohol's gone up on
the index pricing?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
So what does that mean though? What does that mean
for a stubby?
Speaker 2 (30:50):
It probably will cost you ten cents more?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
All right, roughly, So if that's not that doesn't sound
an Australian. That just sounds like inflation.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Well, and this was my question to you, right, what
is Australia.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You're not standing by it being what's the headline?
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Read me whatation? Well, the accusation is alcohol price hike?
Is un Australian? That's the headline. And I did some googling.
I've pulled up some news stories from the last year
that have been called un Australian. Yeah, hit me with that,
and I'm trying to figure out what un Australian actually is.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Because that was like anything negative against beer Australian.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
All right, So Kemar copied a small businesses product? Is
that an Australian? I mean, it's it's not a nice
thing to do. Is it an Australian? I don't know
that was one of them.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I guess they're trying to say, like, you know, going
after a little guy.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Is it about using a kabana on the beach to
reserve your spot?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Is that on Australia. Yeah, I think that is un Australian.
That feels very European. You shouldn't have to book a
spot at the beach.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Energy companies dropping the amount of money they pay you
for solar for getting solar into the grid. Is that
on Australia.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That's interesting, that one because with the new forms of energy, Yes,
we're going to have to figure out what's Australian and
whatsot because there's no hard and fast rule on that
because it's only been around for.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
A few years, so it's hard to tell if it's
Australian or not. Right, I mean, this one's obvious. An
Australian swim coach back to Korean rival at the Olympics,
that's that's literally, that's literally un Australian. The eight dollars
fifty sausage sizzle last year.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, very Australian.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
What about tim Tams costing six dollars a packet? Is
that on Australian? Okay, all right, so you're giving most
of these the tick mowing your side of the Median strip,
but not your neighbors. That was called an Australian by
the Daily Mail last year.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
That's Australian. I see that every time I go for
a drive around the neighborhood. You got to got to
draw the line somewhere.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
And the last one that was called on Australian in
the last year an ice cream shop no longer offering
free samples? Is that on Australian.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Australian A great Australian tradition of getting a free sample.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Well, and this is what I mean.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
We used this to passionate about that well, that you
should get a free sample. No, I'm in support of
the people who pulled it. Why I've told you about this?
What do you mean? It really annoys me? People get samples? See,
are you a samples guy?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Sometimes I don't mind dabbling with a sample. What's wrong
with the sample?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Uh, it's gonna taste good. Yeah, it's ice cream. There's
no surprise poo flavor.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Like.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
They all taste like sugar and creamy treats. And then
the second point is if you don't like it and
you want to try something else, unless you're on death row,
you're gonna get another chance to have ice cream. See,
then you just make amends next time you get ice cream.
You're not investing in a house. Here, you're not signing
onto a mortgage, You're buying two scoops.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I certainly think there should be a limit to the
free samples you can have. Sometimes you do get stuck
behind someone twenty minutes making their mind up. I'm with
you on that.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
And when you're on the line, think about what you
might like. Yeah, spending the time in the line doing
your pondering.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Hang on, wait, am I even correctly? Are you calling
ice cream samples themselves an Australians?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I think I am, and I'm okay with it.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
The Zack and Tom Podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
If you're ahead, make my day? Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Every single day is a holiday, But some of these
celebrations need our help. They're a little bit low key,
they're lesser known. That's why each night I bring two
to the show, both occurring in the next twenty four hours.
You and I have to pick one each to become
ambassadors for day.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Look I mean this. You might be thinking it's going
to be a boring Wednesday ahead of me tomorrow. Well
you couldn't be more wrong. Listen to the two days
that are about to be coming your way.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
What have we got? It's national fart day? Who let
the fart out?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Can I ask you?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
This hit me?
Speaker 2 (34:43):
When you were a kid, were you allowed to his
word fart at home?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
We said break wind?
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yeah, we were allowed to say fluff.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I don't like sluff, No, nor do I. It actually
makes me more uncomfortable than far.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I agree with you on that too.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Is the soft f Yeah? Fart ends with a heart tea. Yes,
and that's kind of a nicer kind of word. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Did you ever have friends growing up whose families would
use other phrases.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
To when neighbor used windy windy okay, which is really
confusing when the West Indies cricket team would come over
because they were called the Windy's. Well, what are we
talking about?
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I have an auntie Wendy and I remember once talking
about her to a New Zealand friend. That's what I
heard there when you said windy?
Speaker 1 (35:30):
So what ever gets confusing with Kiwi's?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (35:34):
You know when they're down by the beach. Yeah, imagine
this situation. I'd love to your auntie Wendy is at
the beach with a New Zealand friend and they say, oh,
here's Windy. Now are they describing the weather at the beach.
He windy. It's windy.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
It's very confusing. It's a confusing accent, and they know
that they're well aware it's a musing accent. I won't
take any any cop back from the New Zealanders on
that phone.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
No no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
What's the point of fart Day?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Celebrate farts? You can make fart sounds. Apparently, Oh, this.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Is commercial radio's dream day. This is the day we've
been waiting.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
You can tell some fart jakes. You know, people have
been finding humor and farts for a long time. Apparently.
In seventeen twenty two, really, Jonathan Swift published a piece
of satire.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
That was called The Benefit of Farting Classic Jonathan Swift?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
What's he not get his mind away from fart?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
What's your favorite Jonathan Swift joke? Do you reckon? Whoopy
cushions are still a thing in the younger generation these days.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah, I got done by well, you know, I tried
to get done by a whoopy cushion over Christmas with
my nieces.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
I mean, you tried to get done.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
I was told when I walked in not to look
at the seat by my nieces like they're like seven.
I think like six and eight. I think I think
they know in their minds. I still had no idea
what was happening. Yeah right, they got me.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Good, right, don't look at the seat A great way
to get someone out of the joke. Well, I like
fart day. What else have we got?
Speaker 1 (37:10):
It's National Weather Person Day, Okay, celebrate some of the
weather people. Who are the weather people, Sam Mack.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
We've had a bunch around Australia.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Grant Daniel was one for a while. GD. Yeah, but
they're not like they're the more fun ones on sunrise.
They're not the meteorology. They're not the ones in front
of the screen.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I'm gonna be honest. If I showed Sam Mack a chart,
I'm not sure he knows what to tell me about
the chart.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Does he know where to point?
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Yeah? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I mean he can he can read off the autoque
and tell me about the weather. But does Sam Mack
if he looked at if he went to the Bureau
of Meteorology and he saw the cloud patterns, does he
know what's happening there? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
I don't know, mate, Apparently you're encouraged on weather person
Day to show appreciation appreciation to weather.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
People, and I think this is over due because they've
been in the butt of many jokes, haven't they. Okay, yeah,
you know the whole idea. I mean, it's not so
much a joke anymore. But for decades when people everyone
watched the evening news, the whole idea would have been, oh,
you're as accurate as a weather person, because they would
always say it's not going to rain, and then it
rain and people would get personally mad at there.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
There's a bit of an faq here on the weather
person page, okay, and it says, FAQs, what are the
myths or myth misconceptions about weather forecasting? A common myth
is that meteorologists are frequently wrong. Modern forecasting is remarkably accurate.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
They claim, I think that's accurate. I think that's right.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
They say ninety percent of the time. I wouldn't say
that's remarkably accurate. Ninety percent. That means you're wrong one
out of ten. Yeah, every two weeks you're wrong one
and a half days.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
And that's the days people remember.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Yeah, you wouldn't be better than ninety percent if you're
going to be telling me what the weather's going to be.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
You know, my dad's a bit of a weather nut.
If they if they had a TV show like Australian
Idol for aspiring weather readers, Dad would have gone on
that years ago. We call them the Richard of Meteorology,
the wrong which you came up with that name. He
loves the web.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Has he been giving you an updates recently?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Oh plenty. He thinks it's going to be a weddy
year than usual.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
Why is that?
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (39:04):
He tried to explain it to me. I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Would he know where to point on the chart?
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:08):
He would?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Oh mate, No, this man should send.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Off a little like make a little real for him,
like a sizle reel of him doing weather reports. That'd
be a hut and we'll send it to Channel seven.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
That is his dream to do a weather report like
he Honestly they should do.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Like because I can imagine a lot of middle aged
particularly men have the dream of being a weather presenter. Yes,
they should do on Friday nights the guest present you
know how you do that sometimes like kids get to
drive the tractor or something. Get dads in to read
the weather. Oh mate, that.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Would be massive. Does your dad want to be a
weather person? That's that's got enormous potential. Well, I reckon,
I probably have to take weather day for my dad
in honor of my dad. And that leaves you with
fart Day? Are you up for that?
Speaker 1 (39:50):
With pleasure?
Speaker 2 (39:53):
That is who I got time for on the show.
Make sure as you celebrate National Fart Day, celebrate responsibly
and check every seat that you're about to sit on
