Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fitsy and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
How many filthy things are at arms reaching your house?
You know how they judge filth? This is from an
emergency doctor revealed the unsurprising or sorry, surprising, everyday household
items that are completely filthy.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Do we want to hear this year? You do because
we got to know it.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
They're called Cefew's colony forming units.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Because I've been licking the handles of escalators at shopping
centers for the last two years.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I haven't got sick yet, standing at the end of
the escalator with a tongue on the rubber. Do you
know what, I've kind of changed my tune a bit.
During COVID, we're all very very careful about washing hands
and all of the above, and it set some great
routine in place, and I still do it now. When
I walk in the door, the first thing.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
I do is wash my hands.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Mate, thanks so much, Thanks so much for the badge.
But the other dams. I'm in the left BONDI junction
and the kids are standing there. They've got their hands
on the rails inside the left and I thought, you
know what, it's actually good for them to have that
it's their immune system. If they do fall ill, that's
going to pick them back up and it's going to
strengthen them moving forward. So you can be overprotective when

(01:10):
it comes to germs and it doesn't do your system
actually any favors.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
You've got to be a bit of small stuff made.
That's what I've always seen.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Unless it's a colony forming unit.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
You're true.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Ye, anybody want to have a crack. I've got the
top five here, top five filthiest items in your house?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
You sponge in your sink?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well done, coming in at number five, Ryan James, Maybe,
but a game shame music. Oh, just really kicking into gears?
We throw around?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
What the other four items?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Ashes?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Ashes ready to go?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Okay, did you think Tom's undies? What?

Speaker 3 (01:46):
That's not what I was going on?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
What were you going to get your phone?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Your mobile phone?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Comes in at number three world an Ash, Yes, lest
to just use a mockra fiber cloth to wipe down
your phone on a daily basis.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
What about those.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
What about those boiling bodies that you have known in basement.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Because there's not actually any disease. The acid kills all bacy.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Okay, so the acid, there's no colony forming units for
you there, Tom, Yeah, absolutely well boiling temperature.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Tell me that leather mask was like, it's got some
sort of fungus growing on it.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yes, absolute Stine.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
So we've got kitchen sponge at number five, we've got
the mobile phone at number three.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Is it in the kitchen whip? Here is an.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Item in the kitchen. It's quite obvious. I would have thought,
because I'm told not to put chicken on it. Don't
call the chicken.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
On that one.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
The wooden board, yes, the wooden chopping board.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Here's the glass board.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
If you're cutting I wash it every day. And if
there's a bit of disease, don't worry about it. Minta
from sun Ives you wanted to have a crack, did you?
Mintor yeah, I beg your pardon, Gosha.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Crash, cash, crushed nerds, Oh god, yes, money money money,
mintor yes from the mint herself.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
No, it's not because I think a lot of people
these days really don't you mentor a love your suggestion.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's moments like that, laugh when you get sick from.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Best it's the best matters all you need on an
early basis.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
What about the mentally unstable Steve and.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
West Pendin Hill Hellis on scoob of Steve, can I
just give you the rundown again Top five we're going for.
Got kitchen sponge at number five, got the mobile phone
at number three, and got the kitchen cutting.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Board at number two. The remote control.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
TV remote comes in at number one. You've smashed its
the serve. Do you know what when I think about
my kids watching TV on the couch, do you know
what they're doing it at the same time, scratching their
bum and picking their nose. That's what all little turds do, Steve,
don't they?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Well, hands see your phone? With your phone, it's only
your hands that are on it. I suppose with the
remote everyone's having.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
A crack commune. Let a lot of people, I think,
sit on the couch with a hand down their pants,
so their hand goes from their crotch to their mobile phone.
All sorts of bacteria.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Tom, I would never do you have your hands down
your pants when you're on the sofa.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Probably outside of my undies though, they would be under.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Light, certain light that you can shine to see the bacteria,
you know, like those purple you know, the blue light
where they do in the movies. Where they go into
us into a crime scene and they usually see what's
up on the walls. And then Temmy, your room lights
up like an aquarium, but it's you've got the Southern
Aurora droom a light that you can flash on the

(05:06):
remote so you can actually see the bacteria.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh, there would be I don't have one of those. Idea,
great idea if you had a clear remote control with
a bacterial light inside as well. Number four, which we
haven't guessed. This pillowcase where you rest that horrible head.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Have we still got any fitty in ripper pillow cases?
Tom Yeah, I think we have.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Took off as well as the trade's toilet paper.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
We've got twenty our two callers that we had.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Then we're going to send them out a set of
fifty and Whipper pillow cases. You can go to bed
with Fitzy and Whipper twenty one available.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
So now we're down to nineteen.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Okay, And I would think Tommy, unwashed the amount of
colony forming units on those pillow cases. Yep, Oh they'd
be filthy. Oh, absolutely meant to wash your pillow case
once a week.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Yeah, of course, along with your sheets. You do it
