Fitzy has been scrolling through his socials and found an Eastern suburbs mum who "accidentally" had to drop $13,000 on a pair of shoes... how does that even happen!? Also a woman in the US accidentally gave a $5,000 tip because she couldn't see over the counter and we go through all the other cons our short kings and queens out there have to go through. Ian Thorpe has been allegedly robbed by his removalists and it got us curious if there are any other dodgy removalists out there and our listeners did not disappoint!

Speaker 1 (00:01):

Fits You Ever with Krichie.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Welcome to the Tuesday podcast Tuesday TikTok Man.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's it's a brand new app. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
My favorite, my favorite favorite TikTok account is Eastern Suburbs
Mum in New South Wales and it's just well it's
relatable for me because it's just you know, you go
around to some of these great brands and then you
unbox them on a video and I'm so excited seeing
the season Suburbs Mum unboxing know her new ermez bag
(00:39):
or this one is all about ermez sandals.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The thing is, though she got the price mixed up.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I like the one you do the opposite of the
Eastern Suburbs which is just a bit more common man,
which I really like. When you unbox those tracksuit pants
from Low's the other day, that was amazing. I thought, man, perfect,
aren't they?
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I know, And I didn't really want the big man
in the video with me, but he just happened to
be there.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Guy for Tea.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
So two different, two different options.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
And I said to him are they sitting too high
on my hip? And he said no, they're low.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
OK, all right, enjoy it all on the podcast This.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Is the Fitzi and Whipper with Cape Ritchie Podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Let's talk about Katy perry last night scary scenes when
a man stormed the stage, she freaks out, he gets tackled.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
Have a listen, he's up there doing a floss.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Big decision.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
If you're close enough, I think he's getting tackled and
taken off the stage, hog tied.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I mean to see, let's be honest. I mean, he
wasn't threatening at all, was he. He try to put
his arm around Katie.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
He was doing the floss dance, but I mean he
was just up there, I suppose just to get close
to it. A lot of people do that. I mean,
back in the old days everyone used to jump up
on a stage.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I mean he's embarrassed himself by doing the floss. Very
dated reference times have moved on. I'm surprised didn't plank.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Peter Garrett on the Northern Beaches used to just get sweating.
People up next to him all the time, just hugging him.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
If you've paid a fortune to sit so close to
the stage and you make the decision to miss half
the concert because you wanted to get on stage and floss. Well,
you probably go into the idiot category for me. Yeah, Fee,
you're an idiot. Okay, I don't know if he's listening
this morning. Do they lock him up? Do you do
an overnighter for that sort of stage storming? Tommy when
(02:58):
you were streaking at the SCG, did you I.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Think he will be banned posibly?
Speaker 8 (03:01):
I know he was from cont Yeah, but I think
you would be banned for life from kudos probably.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Oh my god, you should have done that, tom so
you don't have to go with your daughter.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
No, I had a wonderful time despite not being in
the demo as a plus grand that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I had such a good time.
Speaker 8 (03:21):
And she she performs again, it's an awesome show, flying
around on a giant dragon.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Also says here that he will never be able to
register for mastership as well.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Really says because of that during that song. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
This is the fit with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
Don't get me wrong, we did pros and cons on
this show about relationships, but let's do let's focus on
height and being short, and you know what, there are
some I suppose there's some pros.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I mean I look for me being a tall person.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
When I get onto a flight, I do look at
short people and I go, we you have so much
room there where I'm where If I'm in an economy seat,
I have to put my legs right and then left
to get comfortable because they don't sit in straight out
in front whip?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Do you feel like if you walk or go somewhere,
maybe you're at the footy, and you see somebody else
that's tall, you connect with them like you know, then
you kind of you throw a wink. It's almost like
when you do November and you see somebody else with
them stars, you kind of both acknowledge it. You have
something in common. We do Short people do that? Do
they do?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You know?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
What?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Do you know what I find really intimidating people that
are taller than me.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well, of course that wouldn't happen very often.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
If I look up, because I'm six foot six, If
I look up at some and I'm like, whoa, there's
sort of that initial reaction of wow, I'd love.
Speaker 10 (04:45):
To be like that.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
We are, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
It's I think it's an interesting one too, where I
remember being at a nightclub one time and there was
a tall guy standing out like a giraffe. But there
was a very tall girl as well, and they were
sort of above the rest, sort of above the crowd,
and it was only a natural thing for the two
of them to connect. And half an hour later they're
standing at the bar talking. Well, of course they are.
(05:10):
I mean it would be hard for a guy, if
you're in a relationship to have to lean up to
kiss your.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, very awkward for BJ and I kissing on the
dance floor when we first started your neck, Oh gosh,
we did some heavy passion back in the day.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You either need a very flexible neck or a really
long tongue.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well I do, I do. I'm hunchback now. I have
problems with my shoulder blades.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
My shoulder blades are constantly aching because I feel like
I'm just always trying to kiss my wife.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
To passion very hard and she's running away at the
same time.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Can we focus on the small statue person and the
disadvantages of being short. Linda Mathison, she's over in the States.
She is a teacher, and she's over there. She had
to go get some medication, but something because of her height,
she made a huge mistake.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Have a listened to this.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
No, we don't have it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yes, sorry, I should have.
Speaker 10 (06:01):
Set that up before.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
What did she do? We got she left a tip.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
She thought she was leaving a five She thought she's
that short whip. She thought she was leaving a five
dollar tip. But the at the counter when she was
buying the medication, the counter was so high that she
couldn't she couldn't see over the counter properly. She put
she thought there was a decimal point in there, so
(06:27):
she's but she put in three zero.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
She ended up giving the person a five thousand dollar
tip because she was so short and she couldn't see.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Reaching up to the machine.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
May has given us a call from Marunga. What's the
worst thing about being short?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Mayer?
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Standing in the concert?
Speaker 11 (06:45):
What was your favorite artist?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Mayor? How tall are you? Eleven four?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Not even five foot?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
So?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Mayo?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Is there have you got?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Is there a plan of attack when you are when
you are at a concert or a new festival?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
What do you do? What's the best possible place to
stand for you to see it?
Speaker 12 (07:04):
Well, preferably barricade, But to get there is kind of hard.
Oh yeah, you go for a gap between somewhere that's
not too tall.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, do you have a guy?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah that's short?
Speaker 12 (07:15):
Also yeah, no tall boyfriend and hop on his shoulders.
But I don't want to say other people are concert
because then they saw bad.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I can't win.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
What's the tallest guy that you've been out with?
Speaker 12 (07:25):
Maya ah six foot?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So how does that go? Kissing? It's quite hard, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, fit to remember when we met Sultan, the world's
tallest man, and like he turned up in a minivan
and they'd taken the middle row of seats out so
he could stretch his legs. But he got married to
a really short girl. What have been an interesting wedding night?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That was an amazing period in our lives when we had.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The short when we flew the shortest.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Man in the world over Dangy Dangy, and then Tommy
the tall man in the world, just happened to be
in Sydney.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Wasn't he was talking to her?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, he's not speaking to her?
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yeah, And he he had to travel around in a special.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Vang Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it where they
took all the seats out of the tarago. Poor bugger,
Like just I did feel sorry. Who do you feel
sorry for? More Sultan day. He was the tallest man
in the world.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It was hard also because Dangy and the whole of
Sydney got danky fever. They wanted to meet him. It
was awesome. He hadn't seen a lot of the world
because his family in the Paul had hidden him a
lot of the time, because traveling circus has tried to
steal him.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That that that's without a word of a lie. Whipper
is not lying there. That is not a joe. But
they had to hide.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Him, put him in a basket and run off again.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Somebody's read day, put him in, put him in the bunker.
Now go, Marie's given Maurice has given us a girl
from Mascot.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
How tall are you mare?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Four foot nine?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Four foot four foot nine? So how do you what's
the disadvantages of that, Marie?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
For you?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Well, I actually drive a Torgo and I have to
climb in the car every single.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Time, so you have to use the handle that sits
up above I do you pull yourself in? And then
have you got short parents? Marie? Is it?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah? It's my dad. My mum just a tad taller
than my than my dad. My dad is really short
and my my non knows as well.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
So you open the car door and a ladder folder.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Yeah, I find it really hard, like I sort of
swinging to the car like a monkey. I have.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Marie just a school pickup.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Got here we you.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
This is the city in but with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You've known me for a very long time, sir, and
you know that I love I just love a bit
of Eastern Suburbs mum. This is my favorite TikTok account,
El Selagaris. She's twenty nine years of age and she
just puts up well. She likes to unbox wheep, she
likes to go.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
And know what she's doing.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well, she likes to shop like a lot of Eastern
Suburbs mums do, and then she unboxes. Made a huge
mistake over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I think quite relatable, and that's why I thought i'd
bring it up the fixt thing this morning of the.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Show, which college and powder was it?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
She went into hermez that's how you pronounce it for it?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, the friend should be proud.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
She ran into the ermez store and she made a
huge mistake.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
Have listened to this.
Speaker 13 (10:49):
I just did a whole unboxing and I've just posted
it and it's blurry, but we got new Omez shoes.
I'm also like, I'm filming this on about like just
on a street.
Speaker 14 (11:02):
Are you ready you as she says, they're literally god,
they're crocodile I.
Speaker 13 (11:14):
Definitely got very confused about the price, which is my
fat and I had like heard one number.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Like so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Went up to the checkout.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
I already had them on.
Speaker 13 (11:23):
My feet because I was like wearing them out of
the store, and she packed up my other shoes and
I was just like.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It's fine, okay, say in regards to the price.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So the starting price for the shoes is.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Around thirteen hundred dollars, okay, So she said, okay, I
could do that.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That's great. But because she picked the crocodile skin, well,
of course she's racked up thirteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
For basically a pair of they're a pair of uggy
sandals the sheep's skin with crocodile skins or their rug boots,
are they So she's had to go home to the
husband and say, well, I've just brought myself a pair
of sandals. I thought they were thirteen hundred, but they're third.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Eight thousand We can't get away with that, can't.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
We It's going to count the zeros. Sometimes they add
them on the end and thirteen hundred could look like
thirteen thousand, vice versa. It could be very confusing. But
the minute you stick your foot into a crocodile's bum,
it's going to cost you more.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh look, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
They looked very very comfortable, comfortable, But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Do you need the.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Crocodile skin for your sandals?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
This is crocodile skin is huge business.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Oh yeah, there's huge farms up north which they sell.
And I think for the Rmez bags, Ryan James, because
the big bag they talk about.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Is the Burkeen And how much does that go for.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
While that ranges from anywhere from sort of thirty six
up to over one hundred, I think.
Speaker 10 (12:50):
You're kidding me.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah, but these things. I went to an Ermez store
opening once. Little did I know. Irmez treat their products
like like selling a puppy dog, where I need to
make sure that this bag is going to the right home.
So if you want to buy one of these bags fits,
(13:11):
you can't roll into the store and say I'll have
a Burkenhe where's your range of Burkins? Now you've got
to be on the list and you have to then
wait till you're contacted by hermez to come in and
meet the team to see if they think you're appropriate
for their bag. No why and they've built this following
which is like a fight to get these bags at
(13:34):
ridiculous prices.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Do you have to have a bag interview like a
job interview?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
We do sit down, They follow you around, they follow
your life just to see if you're clean.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Well, ring three of your friends as references and say,
how do you think she'd go with a Berken?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Do you remember when remember when we had Roxy just
incoing here and Roxy's got Roxy's actually got a room.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Remember she's got a room, lots of Burkins.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And I said to her, what's what's your most expensive bag?
Speaker 10 (14:01):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Your husband that didn't go down too well to it?
Those thoughts and Curtis he would never sit on the shelf,
that's not his style.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No, well, he had to do a job interview to
get to marry her as well.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I don't know. I don't know about that. I was
not there.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
This is the Fitzian Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
We talk about Dodgy removalless Dogy removal.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now this is just a theory of who may be responsible,
but who would dare do this to one of our
greatest athletes ever?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Mean thought?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
God?
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Just watching Thorpe, you.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Know how he always used to be behind, usually going
into like with the last fifty meters of the race,
and then Thorpey would come flying.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
That fifteen hundred not long ago.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
He never competed in the fifteen hundred.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Ever, it's so true that was Grant Hacker. And as
it goes, we could watch Hackey now, but I think
we're better off watching Thorpe in the eight hundred. Nope,
four hundred, four hundred. Yeah, more for it. And I said,
have a look at this human fish, the thorpedo. And
I know Thorpe. We all know Thorpe. We've done a
(15:15):
lot of stuff on radio over the years, and you
just can't to me, I put him. I put him
up there with the Sydney Harbor Bridge and ularu as
like conic images and objects of Australia go out of that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Sound Well said, well, it sounds like you know a
lot about him.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Nowhere and go.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So his manager, James Erskine, has come out on Friday
this over the weekend saying that Thorpie unfortunately had one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of Watchers jewelry some
personal items stolen from his house. Now he's caught up.
His insurers they said, go and make a police report.
Doesn't seem like there was a break in though whip.
So there is a theory.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Going around that he may have been moved moving apartments.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Thus, this morning we focus on dodgy removalus.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Ian's gone, all right, can you take the couch to
the next apartment, Let's stay out of my watch draw
and the removalust is God, have a look at what
Ian's collected over the years.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
What do you think you're going to get away with that?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Honestly in the back of a truck.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Well, do you know what I used?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And this is the thing if you go, if you
try to go the cheaper version, because they because they
are quite expensive removalless. But if you try to go
a cheaper version, you've got to be ready that something
is going to be going wrong. We we got some
Russian removal USTs once before we God and my god,
I think they were brothers, and how aggressive they got
(16:46):
with each other. So they basically said, how quickly will
you be moving into your place? And I said, well
if you can get it there as quick as you can.
And they said, well we can do the job.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
We can.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We can pick up your stuff all day, we can
travel all night and have it in by tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
They didn't sleep for twenty four hours.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
Oh God.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So we weren't in the new joint yet, but they
had in there ready. The thing is, though, there was
a couple of little pieces of art and stuff like
that where the canvas was stretched, and you know, like
it was I think you've got to except that there's
something he's going to be damaged. But when it comes
to stolen, Louise and Camden's given us a call, you
had a dodgy removal us.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Loise, Oh so dodgy.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
What happened, Louis?
Speaker 11 (17:30):
We got we just got married, and we decided that
we would like get the new fan show when we
moved into our new house. Anyway, we bought this beautiful
dining table from Domain. It was like the last one.
It was like on sale. It was like just retail
price was like five thousand. It was the most beautiful
table anyway. We had it in our garage from the
(17:50):
house we were moving from, and my husband said to
the guys, listen, when you want to move that table.
Mind you, it was stelling bubble wraps. When you want
to move that table, yell out to my father in,
Laura and I because they're going to have to help
you because it is really really heavy. Anyway, and it
was almost like a child looking at him with a
cup of water tipping it out. After saying don't do it,
(18:13):
they just picked it up and they just dropped it
right in front of him, and the whole thing just
cracked chipped. It was like a travisine and the whole
thing was totally ruined. And they just looked at him
(18:36):
and he just was like gropable, I reckon, Like I mean,
I wasn't there at the time, but oh my god,
he was so angry. And anyway, then they absolutely destroyed
our house when we moved. They chipped out front wooden table.
They had to come back and get that repaired. They
(18:57):
ended up having to try and source up a new
dining tape, so they ended up finding one I think
from Harvey normal and they had to pay you like
the five grand.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And what a pain of the bump for everyone, Louise.
So nobody wins in that situation.
Speaker 11 (19:11):
It was months of having no table, so you know,
but they just don't give it. They just don't care.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
How many hours can you do wandering the floor of nick.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Scary when you you know you're in a fair bit
of trouble when you removalless they rock up to your
house and they see some of the heavy items that
you've got, and you see them looking.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
At each other and gain What about when you have
to fill out the form? Fits When you're filling out
the form and they go, how many sets of stairs?
Speaker 15 (19:36):
I know, are there any tight corners? What's the access?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Like?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Just shut up and carry the mattress? Mate, I know
you're rushing. You can't understand me.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, but it's hard whip. And this is the thing.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Usually the guys that are doing the heavy lifting in
some poor young bloke, he's already tried three different trades.
He can't even be a concrete you know, like he's
just you know what, He's ended up being a removal
and so he doesn't want to be he just wants
to go to KFC breakfast his first pine at eleven.
That's so true, Donna in Espace. Do you ever did
(20:06):
you ever dodgey removalist?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Donna?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yes, I did. What happened, don Don?
Speaker 12 (20:12):
We were moving from the country, me and my now
husband and the removalist was meant to arrive at about
two in the afternoon, so we were hanging around waiting
and he finally arrived at about seven pm and he
was on his own and he had his three year
old daughter with him.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 12 (20:30):
So basically my hobby had to help him move the
furniture and I had made it.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
You had to babysit. Just don't take the TV yet,
we need to put pepper peg on.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
So Donna, all he really provided was a truck for
you to put the stuff in because he couldn't do.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
It on his own.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Donna, what a past, and he became the babysitter. Well done.
Thank you for calling.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Tim in Castle Hill. You were a removalist yourself.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Who did you?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Hi?
Speaker 16 (21:00):
Timok To be honest, I was at Ambo for seventeen years,
but on my days off we to work as a removalist.
So then I have six kids. So when I moved, yeah,
I know, Jack, when we moved, I know how long
it takes. So I pulled everything apart and moved an
entire house into the garage. So it was super easy.
(21:21):
So they just had to take down the garage and
stick in the car in the back of the truck.
And two guys turned up. One had no idea what
he was doing. I'm pretty sure he was herellegally. And
then at the end, at the end of it all,
I moved and I lifted everything for him and they
just packed it in the truck. They charged four hundred
bucks an hour, and then they backed the truck into
the neighbor's wall, had a fight with him. Turned up
(21:43):
at the other end, unloaded straight into a garage, so
didn't have to go up a single set of stairs
or anything. To charge me two hours overtime.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Oh manjmmy, thanks for your call. What of Inka?
Speaker 10 (22:00):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
This is the Fitting in with with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Hope you had a great long weekend May I went south. Guys.
You know what I'm like hitting bush when I've got
a bit of time on my hands is my heaven.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You know what annoys me, Fitts.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
You see me as this private school kid city slicker.
No way, mate, I'm up for an all Ozzie adventure
any day of the week.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You're more Russell kooch.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
If I can hit the road, mate, if I can
hit the open and.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I did what what? How far? Well?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Southern high Yeah and a half out of town, mate,
good to get down there and all the good spots.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Did you update your passport before you went?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Did you know this this land is ours? Mate? Didn't
need to. You don't need to go overseas to see
the most beautiful country in the world, mate, to see
it to God's country down south.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I could see you on a farm one day.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, and obviously you'd have around about probably thirty or
forty people doing the roles.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Put up a clothesline yesterday, put up a new hills hoist,
and I do all the hands on.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Jobs new hills hoist.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
It was a wall mounted for the washing. So I
do all the big jobs, all the heavy lifting, mate.
Just and does anybody else do this? When you drive
into a country area and you might see cattle, and
you just your wine, your window down a bit and
just do a bit of and you can see your
dog and you just yell out get around them.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You're doing you a big mood, just to see if
you get react.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You do not move, but just I mean, yesterday woke
up six degrees feels like minus five. Didn't worry me, mate,
I wasn't going to let that. Hills hoists are well.
Lisa's mom and dad's in Barrel. It's not far from
the Wall hotel at a beautiful stake and up roll
(24:00):
sprats and one of the local pinots was the Vibe.
Sorry I've slipped into. But then I got back in
my car, Mate, I heard it out. Here was the thing.
I was driving along and it was quite fresh on
Sunday morning, and I must have been the first driver
on the road because the wind had come through the
valley that night fits and a tree had fallen across
(24:21):
the road. And I pulled up. And what do you
do when you see a big bit of timber. You
look in the boot and I checked. They didn't have
my chainsaw on me, didn't even have a saw on me.
I was caught out. Normally I traveled with some sort
of cutting device, so all that was left was strength
and muscle. Manpower. I oven looked to get a cow
(24:41):
to kind of, I don't know, tie the log to
it to drag the tree off the road. Nothing coming in,
nothing coming out, mate, not with this tree.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
Authorities about it, they'll probably get it fix.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
No way, man, not me. So I'm there and I
to lift this tree off the road. And it's a
big tree. Mate. We're not talking sticks and kindling here.
We're talking big logs and fallen trees. Like how big
was ten meters ten to fifteen to twenty meters high
and fallen straight across the right. And I'm trying to
(25:14):
pull it one way because it had sort of snapped,
And I thought, if I can continue to break it
at the fork where it had already cracked, then I'm
going to be able to. But I'm lifting it to
cracking him. I could not move it. So I'm there
for a good twenty minutes and Lisa was meeting me
for pastries in town. So anyway, another car off in
(25:34):
the distance. I see some dust on the road and
I'm good. The locals are on so jeeves.
Speaker 15 (25:43):
He was bringing me my pastry because I couldn't get
to him.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
So anyway, this high lux turns up.
Speaker 15 (25:51):
Four blokes get out of the car and they're real blocks.
So now there's five real blokes. Anyway, there's five absolute
local weapons trying to shift this tree off the road.
So we can't pull it one way, we can't put
it that the other way, so we decide to flip
(26:11):
the tree.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
So we're literally hands under the tree pushing it off
the road. So we're rolling it over and momentum goes
the other way. Anyway. I'm I'm here with my boys,
my lads, and we push the tree over and I
go ah, grabbing my shoulder. One of them goes, oh,
you all right, and I said, yeah, I'm just saw
(26:33):
from Pilates.
Speaker 15 (26:35):
Now I've never seen four guys get back into you.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Quick, but I'm from Pollards and get out of here.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
This is the Fitting and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
It's one of the greatest one liners of all time.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
It's one of the greatest pranks that you can do.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
And I know it's at the expense of someone else's misfortune,
which one well it went when someone unfortunately has a
bit of a bingal in their car and they can't
get their car going again, and it's there on the
side of the road.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
No I've don't. I've dined my car up and now
there's nothing I can do about it. To drive past
and just wind down your window and just to say
the words you can't park their mate.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Good gear, really good gear.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It's it's quite a bit. There was there was a bus,
there was a public there was a bus over in
London and the the bus driver's gone up on the
side of the road. He's basically skewered a street sign whip,
so it's skew had come up through the bus and
he couldn't move the bus anymore. And then everyone's frustrated
(27:41):
because now they've got to get off the bus and
go and find another bus.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
And then this guy grabs his phone and walks pass
like he's on.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
You can't part Now this thing the time to talk.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
This kind of an accident, you start. We put it
on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I'm just mating in lobby.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Stay it up, oh mate. Just it's simple, but it's
so effective.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Here's the Australian version and one of my favorite Instagram
accounts is Humans of Bankstown.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
So this guy's got a hotted up car.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
He's probably revved a little bit too much going up
on the side of the road and he's standing there
with his head with his hands on his head going
what have I done?
Speaker 10 (28:24):
And this guy's driven past.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Can't bark there, mate, he didn't light the joke.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
I don't know why. Can we hear it one?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Can we hear it one more time?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yes? We can't bark there, butte It's Whippa with Kate

Welcome to the Tuesday podcast Tuesday TikTok Man.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's it's a brand new app. Anyway.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
My favorite, my favorite favorite TikTok account is Eastern Suburbs
Mum in New South Wales and it's just well it's
relatable for me because it's just you know, you go
around to some of these great brands and then you
unbox them on a video and I'm so excited seeing
the season Suburbs Mum unboxing know her new ermez bag
(00:39):
or this one is all about ermez sandals.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
The thing is, though she got the price mixed up.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I like the one you do the opposite of the
Eastern Suburbs which is just a bit more common man,
which I really like. When you unbox those tracksuit pants
from Low's the other day, that was amazing. I thought, man, perfect,
aren't they?
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I know, And I didn't really want the big man
in the video with me, but he just happened to
be there.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Guy for Tea.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
So two different, two different options.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
And I said to him are they sitting too high
on my hip? And he said no, they're low.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
OK, all right, enjoy it all on the podcast This.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Is the Fitzi and Whipper with Cape Ritchie Podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Let's talk about Katy perry last night scary scenes when
a man stormed the stage, she freaks out, he gets tackled.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
Have a listen, he's up there doing a floss.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Big decision.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
If you're close enough, I think he's getting tackled and
taken off the stage, hog tied.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I mean to see, let's be honest. I mean, he
wasn't threatening at all, was he. He try to put
his arm around Katie.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
He was doing the floss dance, but I mean he
was just up there, I suppose just to get close
to it. A lot of people do that. I mean,
back in the old days everyone used to jump up
on a stage.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I mean he's embarrassed himself by doing the floss. Very
dated reference times have moved on. I'm surprised didn't plank.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Peter Garrett on the Northern Beaches used to just get sweating.
People up next to him all the time, just hugging him.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
If you've paid a fortune to sit so close to
the stage and you make the decision to miss half
the concert because you wanted to get on stage and floss. Well,
you probably go into the idiot category for me. Yeah, Fee,
you're an idiot. Okay, I don't know if he's listening
this morning. Do they lock him up? Do you do
an overnighter for that sort of stage storming? Tommy when
(02:58):
you were streaking at the SCG, did you I.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Think he will be banned posibly?
Speaker 8 (03:01):
I know he was from cont Yeah, but I think
you would be banned for life from kudos probably.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Oh my god, you should have done that, tom so
you don't have to go with your daughter.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
No, I had a wonderful time despite not being in
the demo as a plus grand that's right.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I had such a good time.
Speaker 8 (03:21):
And she she performs again, it's an awesome show, flying
around on a giant dragon.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Also says here that he will never be able to
register for mastership as well.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Really says because of that during that song. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
This is the fit with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
Don't get me wrong, we did pros and cons on
this show about relationships, but let's do let's focus on
height and being short, and you know what, there are
some I suppose there's some pros.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I mean I look for me being a tall person.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
When I get onto a flight, I do look at
short people and I go, we you have so much
room there where I'm where If I'm in an economy seat,
I have to put my legs right and then left
to get comfortable because they don't sit in straight out
in front whip?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Do you feel like if you walk or go somewhere,
maybe you're at the footy, and you see somebody else
that's tall, you connect with them like you know, then
you kind of you throw a wink. It's almost like
when you do November and you see somebody else with
them stars, you kind of both acknowledge it. You have
something in common. We do Short people do that? Do
they do?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You know?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
What?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Do you know what I find really intimidating people that
are taller than me.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well, of course that wouldn't happen very often.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
If I look up, because I'm six foot six, If
I look up at some and I'm like, whoa, there's
sort of that initial reaction of wow, I'd love.
Speaker 10 (04:45):
To be like that.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
We are, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
It's I think it's an interesting one too, where I
remember being at a nightclub one time and there was
a tall guy standing out like a giraffe. But there
was a very tall girl as well, and they were
sort of above the rest, sort of above the crowd,
and it was only a natural thing for the two
of them to connect. And half an hour later they're
standing at the bar talking. Well, of course they are.
(05:10):
I mean it would be hard for a guy, if
you're in a relationship to have to lean up to
kiss your.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Well, very awkward for BJ and I kissing on the
dance floor when we first started your neck, Oh gosh,
we did some heavy passion back in the day.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You either need a very flexible neck or a really
long tongue.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Well I do, I do. I'm hunchback now. I have
problems with my shoulder blades.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
My shoulder blades are constantly aching because I feel like
I'm just always trying to kiss my wife.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
To passion very hard and she's running away at the
same time.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Can we focus on the small statue person and the
disadvantages of being short. Linda Mathison, she's over in the States.
She is a teacher, and she's over there. She had
to go get some medication, but something because of her height,
she made a huge mistake.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Have a listened to this.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
No, we don't have it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yes, sorry, I should have.
Speaker 10 (06:01):
Set that up before.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
What did she do? We got she left a tip.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
She thought she was leaving a five She thought she's
that short whip. She thought she was leaving a five
dollar tip. But the at the counter when she was
buying the medication, the counter was so high that she
couldn't she couldn't see over the counter properly. She put
she thought there was a decimal point in there, so
(06:27):
she's but she put in three zero.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
She ended up giving the person a five thousand dollar
tip because she was so short and she couldn't see.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Reaching up to the machine.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
May has given us a call from Marunga. What's the
worst thing about being short?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Mayer?
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Standing in the concert?
Speaker 11 (06:45):
What was your favorite artist?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Mayor? How tall are you? Eleven four?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Not even five foot?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
So?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Mayo?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Is there have you got?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Is there a plan of attack when you are when
you are at a concert or a new festival?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
What do you do? What's the best possible place to
stand for you to see it?
Speaker 12 (07:04):
Well, preferably barricade, But to get there is kind of hard.
Oh yeah, you go for a gap between somewhere that's
not too tall.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, do you have a guy?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah that's short?
Speaker 12 (07:15):
Also yeah, no tall boyfriend and hop on his shoulders.
But I don't want to say other people are concert
because then they saw bad.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I can't win.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
What's the tallest guy that you've been out with?
Speaker 12 (07:25):
Maya ah six foot?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So how does that go? Kissing? It's quite hard, isn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Well, fit to remember when we met Sultan, the world's
tallest man, and like he turned up in a minivan
and they'd taken the middle row of seats out so
he could stretch his legs. But he got married to
a really short girl. What have been an interesting wedding night?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
That was an amazing period in our lives when we had.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The short when we flew the shortest.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Man in the world over Dangy Dangy, and then Tommy
the tall man in the world, just happened to be
in Sydney.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Wasn't he was talking to her?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, he's not speaking to her?
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Yeah, And he he had to travel around in a special.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Vang Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it where they
took all the seats out of the tarago. Poor bugger,
Like just I did feel sorry. Who do you feel
sorry for? More Sultan day. He was the tallest man
in the world.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It was hard also because Dangy and the whole of
Sydney got danky fever. They wanted to meet him. It
was awesome. He hadn't seen a lot of the world
because his family in the Paul had hidden him a
lot of the time, because traveling circus has tried to
steal him.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That that that's without a word of a lie. Whipper
is not lying there. That is not a joe. But
they had to hide.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Him, put him in a basket and run off again.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Somebody's read day, put him in, put him in the bunker.
Now go, Marie's given Maurice has given us a girl
from Mascot.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
How tall are you mare?
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Four foot nine?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Four foot four foot nine? So how do you what's
the disadvantages of that, Marie?
Speaker 3 (09:09):
For you?
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Well, I actually drive a Torgo and I have to
climb in the car every single.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Time, so you have to use the handle that sits
up above I do you pull yourself in? And then
have you got short parents? Marie? Is it?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah? It's my dad. My mum just a tad taller
than my than my dad. My dad is really short
and my my non knows as well.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
So you open the car door and a ladder folder.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Yeah, I find it really hard, like I sort of
swinging to the car like a monkey. I have.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Marie just a school pickup.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Got here we you.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
This is the city in but with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You've known me for a very long time, sir, and
you know that I love I just love a bit
of Eastern Suburbs mum. This is my favorite TikTok account,
El Selagaris. She's twenty nine years of age and she
just puts up well. She likes to unbox wheep, she
likes to go.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
And know what she's doing.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well, she likes to shop like a lot of Eastern
Suburbs mums do, and then she unboxes. Made a huge
mistake over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I think quite relatable, and that's why I thought i'd
bring it up the fixt thing this morning of the.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Show, which college and powder was it?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
She went into hermez that's how you pronounce it for it?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, the friend should be proud.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
She ran into the ermez store and she made a
huge mistake.
Speaker 10 (10:48):
Have listened to this.
Speaker 13 (10:49):
I just did a whole unboxing and I've just posted
it and it's blurry, but we got new Omez shoes.
I'm also like, I'm filming this on about like just
on a street.
Speaker 14 (11:02):
Are you ready you as she says, they're literally god,
they're crocodile I.
Speaker 13 (11:14):
Definitely got very confused about the price, which is my
fat and I had like heard one number.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Like so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Went up to the checkout.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
I already had them on.
Speaker 13 (11:23):
My feet because I was like wearing them out of
the store, and she packed up my other shoes and
I was just like.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
It's fine, okay, say in regards to the price.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So the starting price for the shoes is.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Around thirteen hundred dollars, okay, So she said, okay, I
could do that.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
That's great. But because she picked the crocodile skin, well,
of course she's racked up thirteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
For basically a pair of they're a pair of uggy
sandals the sheep's skin with crocodile skins or their rug boots,
are they So she's had to go home to the
husband and say, well, I've just brought myself a pair
of sandals. I thought they were thirteen hundred, but they're third.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Eight thousand We can't get away with that, can't.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
We It's going to count the zeros. Sometimes they add
them on the end and thirteen hundred could look like
thirteen thousand, vice versa. It could be very confusing. But
the minute you stick your foot into a crocodile's bum,
it's going to cost you more.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh look, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
They looked very very comfortable, comfortable, But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Do you need the.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Crocodile skin for your sandals?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
This is crocodile skin is huge business.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Oh yeah, there's huge farms up north which they sell.
And I think for the Rmez bags, Ryan James, because
the big bag they talk about.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Is the Burkeen And how much does that go for.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
While that ranges from anywhere from sort of thirty six
up to over one hundred, I think.
Speaker 10 (12:50):
You're kidding me.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah, but these things. I went to an Ermez store
opening once. Little did I know. Irmez treat their products
like like selling a puppy dog, where I need to
make sure that this bag is going to the right home.
So if you want to buy one of these bags fits,
(13:11):
you can't roll into the store and say I'll have
a Burkenhe where's your range of Burkins? Now you've got
to be on the list and you have to then
wait till you're contacted by hermez to come in and
meet the team to see if they think you're appropriate
for their bag. No why and they've built this following
which is like a fight to get these bags at
(13:34):
ridiculous prices.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Do you have to have a bag interview like a
job interview?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
We do sit down, They follow you around, they follow
your life just to see if you're clean.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Well, ring three of your friends as references and say,
how do you think she'd go with a Berken?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Do you remember when remember when we had Roxy just
incoing here and Roxy's got Roxy's actually got a room.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Remember she's got a room, lots of Burkins.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And I said to her, what's what's your most expensive bag?
Speaker 10 (14:01):
Is it?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Your husband that didn't go down too well to it?
Those thoughts and Curtis he would never sit on the shelf,
that's not his style.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
No, well, he had to do a job interview to
get to marry her as well.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I don't know. I don't know about that. I was
not there.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
This is the Fitzian Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
We talk about Dodgy removalless Dogy removal.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Now this is just a theory of who may be responsible,
but who would dare do this to one of our
greatest athletes ever?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Mean thought?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
God?
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Just watching Thorpe, you.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Know how he always used to be behind, usually going
into like with the last fifty meters of the race,
and then Thorpey would come flying.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
That fifteen hundred not long ago.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
He never competed in the fifteen hundred.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Ever, it's so true that was Grant Hacker. And as
it goes, we could watch Hackey now, but I think
we're better off watching Thorpe in the eight hundred. Nope,
four hundred, four hundred. Yeah, more for it. And I said,
have a look at this human fish, the thorpedo. And
I know Thorpe. We all know Thorpe. We've done a
(15:15):
lot of stuff on radio over the years, and you
just can't to me, I put him. I put him
up there with the Sydney Harbor Bridge and ularu as
like conic images and objects of Australia go out of that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Sound Well said, well, it sounds like you know a
lot about him.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Nowhere and go.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
So his manager, James Erskine, has come out on Friday
this over the weekend saying that Thorpie unfortunately had one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of Watchers jewelry some
personal items stolen from his house. Now he's caught up.
His insurers they said, go and make a police report.
Doesn't seem like there was a break in though whip.
So there is a theory.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Going around that he may have been moved moving apartments.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Thus, this morning we focus on dodgy removalus.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Ian's gone, all right, can you take the couch to
the next apartment, Let's stay out of my watch draw
and the removalust is God, have a look at what
Ian's collected over the years.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
What do you think you're going to get away with that?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Honestly in the back of a truck.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Well, do you know what I used?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And this is the thing if you go, if you
try to go the cheaper version, because they because they
are quite expensive removalless. But if you try to go
a cheaper version, you've got to be ready that something
is going to be going wrong. We we got some
Russian removal USTs once before we God and my god,
I think they were brothers, and how aggressive they got
(16:46):
with each other. So they basically said, how quickly will
you be moving into your place? And I said, well
if you can get it there as quick as you can.
And they said, well we can do the job.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
We can.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We can pick up your stuff all day, we can
travel all night and have it in by tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
They didn't sleep for twenty four hours.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
Oh God.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So we weren't in the new joint yet, but they
had in there ready. The thing is, though, there was
a couple of little pieces of art and stuff like
that where the canvas was stretched, and you know, like
it was I think you've got to except that there's
something he's going to be damaged. But when it comes
to stolen, Louise and Camden's given us a call, you
had a dodgy removal us.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
Loise, Oh so dodgy.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
What happened, Louis?
Speaker 11 (17:30):
We got we just got married, and we decided that
we would like get the new fan show when we
moved into our new house. Anyway, we bought this beautiful
dining table from Domain. It was like the last one.
It was like on sale. It was like just retail
price was like five thousand. It was the most beautiful
table anyway. We had it in our garage from the
(17:50):
house we were moving from, and my husband said to
the guys, listen, when you want to move that table.
Mind you, it was stelling bubble wraps. When you want
to move that table, yell out to my father in,
Laura and I because they're going to have to help
you because it is really really heavy. Anyway, and it
was almost like a child looking at him with a
cup of water tipping it out. After saying don't do it,
(18:13):
they just picked it up and they just dropped it
right in front of him, and the whole thing just
cracked chipped. It was like a travisine and the whole
thing was totally ruined. And they just looked at him
(18:36):
and he just was like gropable, I reckon, Like I mean,
I wasn't there at the time, but oh my god,
he was so angry. And anyway, then they absolutely destroyed
our house when we moved. They chipped out front wooden table.
They had to come back and get that repaired. They
(18:57):
ended up having to try and source up a new
dining tape, so they ended up finding one I think
from Harvey normal and they had to pay you like
the five grand.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
And what a pain of the bump for everyone, Louise.
So nobody wins in that situation.
Speaker 11 (19:11):
It was months of having no table, so you know,
but they just don't give it. They just don't care.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
How many hours can you do wandering the floor of nick.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Scary when you you know you're in a fair bit
of trouble when you removalless they rock up to your
house and they see some of the heavy items that
you've got, and you see them looking.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
At each other and gain What about when you have
to fill out the form? Fits When you're filling out
the form and they go, how many sets of stairs?
Speaker 15 (19:36):
I know, are there any tight corners? What's the access?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
Like?
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Just shut up and carry the mattress? Mate, I know
you're rushing. You can't understand me.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Yeah, but it's hard whip. And this is the thing.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Usually the guys that are doing the heavy lifting in
some poor young bloke, he's already tried three different trades.
He can't even be a concrete you know, like he's
just you know what, He's ended up being a removal
and so he doesn't want to be he just wants
to go to KFC breakfast his first pine at eleven.
That's so true, Donna in Espace. Do you ever did
(20:06):
you ever dodgey removalist?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Donna?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yes, I did. What happened, don Don?
Speaker 12 (20:12):
We were moving from the country, me and my now
husband and the removalist was meant to arrive at about
two in the afternoon, so we were hanging around waiting
and he finally arrived at about seven pm and he
was on his own and he had his three year
old daughter with him.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 12 (20:30):
So basically my hobby had to help him move the
furniture and I had made it.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
You had to babysit. Just don't take the TV yet,
we need to put pepper peg on.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
So Donna, all he really provided was a truck for
you to put the stuff in because he couldn't do.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
It on his own.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Donna, what a past, and he became the babysitter. Well done.
Thank you for calling.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Tim in Castle Hill. You were a removalist yourself.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Who did you?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Hi?
Speaker 16 (21:00):
Timok To be honest, I was at Ambo for seventeen years,
but on my days off we to work as a removalist.
So then I have six kids. So when I moved, yeah,
I know, Jack, when we moved, I know how long
it takes. So I pulled everything apart and moved an
entire house into the garage. So it was super easy.
(21:21):
So they just had to take down the garage and
stick in the car in the back of the truck.
And two guys turned up. One had no idea what
he was doing. I'm pretty sure he was herellegally. And
then at the end, at the end of it all,
I moved and I lifted everything for him and they
just packed it in the truck. They charged four hundred
bucks an hour, and then they backed the truck into
the neighbor's wall, had a fight with him. Turned up
(21:43):
at the other end, unloaded straight into a garage, so
didn't have to go up a single set of stairs
or anything. To charge me two hours overtime.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Oh manjmmy, thanks for your call. What of Inka?
Speaker 10 (22:00):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
This is the Fitting in with with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Hope you had a great long weekend May I went south. Guys.
You know what I'm like hitting bush when I've got
a bit of time on my hands is my heaven.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
You know what annoys me, Fitts.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
You see me as this private school kid city slicker.
No way, mate, I'm up for an all Ozzie adventure
any day of the week.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
You're more Russell kooch.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
If I can hit the road, mate, if I can
hit the open and.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I did what what? How far? Well?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Southern high Yeah and a half out of town, mate,
good to get down there and all the good spots.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Did you update your passport before you went?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Did you know this this land is ours? Mate? Didn't
need to. You don't need to go overseas to see
the most beautiful country in the world, mate, to see
it to God's country down south.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I could see you on a farm one day.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, and obviously you'd have around about probably thirty or
forty people doing the roles.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Put up a clothesline yesterday, put up a new hills hoist,
and I do all the hands on.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Jobs new hills hoist.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
It was a wall mounted for the washing. So I
do all the big jobs, all the heavy lifting, mate.
Just and does anybody else do this? When you drive
into a country area and you might see cattle, and
you just your wine, your window down a bit and
just do a bit of and you can see your
dog and you just yell out get around them.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You're doing you a big mood, just to see if
you get react.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You do not move, but just I mean, yesterday woke
up six degrees feels like minus five. Didn't worry me, mate,
I wasn't going to let that. Hills hoists are well.
Lisa's mom and dad's in Barrel. It's not far from
the Wall hotel at a beautiful stake and up roll
(24:00):
sprats and one of the local pinots was the Vibe.
Sorry I've slipped into. But then I got back in
my car, Mate, I heard it out. Here was the thing.
I was driving along and it was quite fresh on
Sunday morning, and I must have been the first driver
on the road because the wind had come through the
valley that night fits and a tree had fallen across
(24:21):
the road. And I pulled up. And what do you
do when you see a big bit of timber. You
look in the boot and I checked. They didn't have
my chainsaw on me, didn't even have a saw on me.
I was caught out. Normally I traveled with some sort
of cutting device, so all that was left was strength
and muscle. Manpower. I oven looked to get a cow
(24:41):
to kind of, I don't know, tie the log to
it to drag the tree off the road. Nothing coming in,
nothing coming out, mate, not with this tree.
Speaker 10 (24:48):
Authorities about it, they'll probably get it fix.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
No way, man, not me. So I'm there and I
to lift this tree off the road. And it's a
big tree. Mate. We're not talking sticks and kindling here.
We're talking big logs and fallen trees. Like how big
was ten meters ten to fifteen to twenty meters high
and fallen straight across the right. And I'm trying to
(25:14):
pull it one way because it had sort of snapped,
And I thought, if I can continue to break it
at the fork where it had already cracked, then I'm
going to be able to. But I'm lifting it to
cracking him. I could not move it. So I'm there
for a good twenty minutes and Lisa was meeting me
for pastries in town. So anyway, another car off in
(25:34):
the distance. I see some dust on the road and
I'm good. The locals are on so jeeves.
Speaker 15 (25:43):
He was bringing me my pastry because I couldn't get
to him.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
So anyway, this high lux turns up.
Speaker 15 (25:51):
Four blokes get out of the car and they're real blocks.
So now there's five real blokes. Anyway, there's five absolute
local weapons trying to shift this tree off the road.
So we can't pull it one way, we can't put
it that the other way, so we decide to flip
(26:11):
the tree.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
So we're literally hands under the tree pushing it off
the road. So we're rolling it over and momentum goes
the other way. Anyway. I'm I'm here with my boys,
my lads, and we push the tree over and I
go ah, grabbing my shoulder. One of them goes, oh,
you all right, and I said, yeah, I'm just saw
(26:33):
from Pilates.
Speaker 15 (26:35):
Now I've never seen four guys get back into you.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Quick, but I'm from Pollards and get out of here.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
This is the Fitting and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
It's one of the greatest one liners of all time.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
It's one of the greatest pranks that you can do.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
And I know it's at the expense of someone else's misfortune,
which one well it went when someone unfortunately has a
bit of a bingal in their car and they can't
get their car going again, and it's there on the
side of the road.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
No I've don't. I've dined my car up and now
there's nothing I can do about it. To drive past
and just wind down your window and just to say
the words you can't park their mate.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Good gear, really good gear.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It's it's quite a bit. There was there was a bus,
there was a public there was a bus over in
London and the the bus driver's gone up on the
side of the road. He's basically skewered a street sign whip,
so it's skew had come up through the bus and
he couldn't move the bus anymore. And then everyone's frustrated
(27:41):
because now they've got to get off the bus and
go and find another bus.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
And then this guy grabs his phone and walks pass
like he's on.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
You can't part Now this thing the time to talk.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
This kind of an accident, you start. We put it
on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I'm just mating in lobby.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Stay it up, oh mate. Just it's simple, but it's
so effective.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Here's the Australian version and one of my favorite Instagram
accounts is Humans of Bankstown.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
So this guy's got a hotted up car.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
He's probably revved a little bit too much going up
on the side of the road and he's standing there
with his head with his hands on his head going
what have I done?
Speaker 10 (28:24):
And this guy's driven past.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Can't bark there, mate, he didn't light the joke.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
I don't know why. Can we hear it one?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Can we hear it one more time?
Speaker 4 (28:40):
