Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fits and with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Let's move on to the wonderful world of Japan. I
love the Japanese. Their culture is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
They're beautiful people and they're so refined in everything they do.
They're also known for their quirky innovations. Well under the
Japanese for the ENRSE cleaning technology that they've built into
the door. Oh yeah, yeah, when the little arm comes
out when you sort of hit the bum button and
(00:34):
then a little arm comes out and the accuracy is
it's lifting.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
It's it's lifting. But is a French word though, isn't it? Yes?
I would think so. I mean across Europe, the bid.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Would have immediately thought that the Japanese invented the Bidet.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, they just invented the seat warmer, the air blower
and the accuracy arm that comes out and you can
select and you know, as a girl.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You speak for the mate goes for it.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
As a girl, you know that you have neighboring parts
and you can press for the accuracy of that selected part.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
That you may have used in doing one score twos.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Because I've seen the button option mate, and there's one
there for that, and there's one there for that. Let's
move on because the next invention they've come out with
is a girlfriend rental service, so you can pay a
fee to rent.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
A girlfriend for a date. Is also the boyfriend's service.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
So are you trying to impress somebody else here there?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's Friday night, you're lonely, you've got a two for
one deal at your local restaurant, you feel like a schnitzel,
and you want someone to talk to.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'd say that that's an escort.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
No, because an escort would suggest further offerings.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
You don't have to.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, you bring up a really good point.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I mean, on this website, there's one three hundred girls
to choose from, and you do have some of the
optional extras Ryan News. A majority of them can speak English,
so it's available for tourists as well. And they're described
as wonderful beauty. They laugh a lot, and they're fun
to talk to.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I told you, I told you about a maid of
mine who has gone into a brothel.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Okay, now through the front door. No, no, no invested?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Did he Yeah? He invested. He was approached by a
very good friend of his. I mean, he's a married
man with kids right, and he at first he was like,
I can't do this, and he said then he actually
went through the financials and went, actually, this could be
a great investment. Now there's one guy that comes into
the brothel whim and uses it regularly, yep. And he
(02:40):
doesn't like to he doesn't like intimacy. He just likes
taking the girls out, going on a bit of a date,
going for a chat, they go for walks. He's a
lovely old man and he pays money just to have
conversation with these girls and they absolutely adore him.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
There, Tommy, how long do you actually spend with each girl? A?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Very good? Very good?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Like is it always Thursday? Are No, we'll talk about
it off air, sure thing, thank you. Let's move on
to this.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Because you cannot, at any stage attempt to kiss one
of the girls.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
A date must not be in a hotel room. But
how good's this?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
The minimum length of time is two hours, starting at
eighty four dollars an hour. The optional extras include for
twenty one dollars, you can hold hands with your date,
which is really exciting, but you can only hold hands
while walking. If you hold hands while sitting, it's another
level of intimacy.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Is someone watching you the whole time? Do you go
to hold hands? Are you in a fair bit of truble?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I believe so.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, there's an ankle bracelet that goes off. You can
also request that your date wears a mini skirt for
thirty five dollars and if you're having a park date,
she can pack a lunch box for you for another
thirty five dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Alright, sandwich time wears me sandwich.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
It's like when you do book a jet Star flight
and you've got to do all the lextras on.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
There's my seven kilos in my lunchbox and you know
this is the one that I would need. I think.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And she could be great for this radio show because
her bio explains that she's shallow, she always smiles and
she will end all conversations in laughter.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And for me, this is the fitting in with her
with Kate Richie podcast What's the Dates?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Twenty ninth of April.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Tomorrow's the day, Mate, the highly anticipated day that the
lineup will drop on the hell bound Metal cruise. The
what Okay, so this is leaving Sydney Harbor very very soon,
but it is basically a cruise ship and it says,
here's something heavy is coming where metal meets the sea.
(04:58):
Carnival Splendor is made up of thirteen thousand tons of
steel and sound.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The crews will host two and a half thousand punters.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
While the boat itself will contain fourteen decks of NonStop madness,
with the main stage located on the top deck so
punters can mosh under the stars.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Wow, so is there a timetable? So it says like
top deck three pm, Creed.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, well no, a little bit like all the punters want,
you know, Australian bands like Parkway Drive, Amity, Affliction, Northline.
Actually just on this. Did anyone see over the weekend?
Do you know how I joke when we talk about metal. Yeah,
I mean you've got Metallica. Imagine Metallica on a cruise ship.
That'd be amazing. You know I always joke about Cannibal Corpse. Yep,
(05:51):
A couple got married in a Cannibal Corpse mosh pit
over the weekend with.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
So Cannibal Corps are just hard, hard metal, are they?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I've got some audio for you for you, So this
beautiful couple, the lights have been turned on in the
mosh pit. They're looking into each other's eyes, holding each
other's hands. This is the moment of their life. And
Cannibal Corpse are playing in the background.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What what what isn't it beautiful?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And this afternoon you can hear that are the on
the stern of deck number three, Cannibal Corpse.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
What a beautiful moment.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
And tell your kids when you're a little bit older,
that is that is in the.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Mush of Cannibal Corpse.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
That's where I met your mother and I looked into
her eyes and I knew she was the one for me.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Do you know what they should do though, Like if
you've got a metal cruise, every time you choose one song.
So let's say there's five thousand people on the ship,
you choose one song, and every time you pull into port,
everybody sings.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That one metal song. You can hear like this floating choir.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Imagine just coming into Sydney Harbor and you hear this,
and you know the cruise is pulling in.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Metal Cruise twenty twenty five. USh, little don't see your
wood you type black jeans, you fell shirt on the
statue of Richard Wilkins at the front.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Oh this would I mean I think there's a high
school football team where the whole crowd into sand Man.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
They run out to this Yeah great, and you know
it's just pulling up. People are having a nice cup
of tea.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's Circular Key and the Metal Cruise is ready to die.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
