Speaker 1 (00:02):
With Cape Wi podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It is with k Richie. Welcome to the Tuesday podcast.
I'm going to be speaking to a blake. Well, luckily
that we got to speak to him. He shouldn't be here.
He was bitten by a shark. It's Shark Week everybody. Now,
he's got a television show that tells you what to
do if you should be attacked by a shark. I
(00:26):
don't think there's The unfortunate thing is when you hear
his story in the podcast, there was nothing that he
could do that could prevent what happened to his shark.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Sorry, it was it was a shark that got him.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Just helping out because he's in the podcast.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Okay, this is the Fitzian Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Mark Zuckerberg and what he's done, what he has done
with buying up real estate in a couple of streets
around him. So he's in Palo Alto, California, which is
sort of up near San Jose, a bit down from
San Francisco. With right, so it's nowhere near Los Angeles,
but he's in California. He must love the area, because mate,
(01:13):
he has bought up big. He's bought up in two
streets Edgewood Drive and Hamilton Avenue, and he's buying up
like a Monopoly game board whip.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
He's spent over two hundred million.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Dollars and he scooped up at least eleven houses.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I wonder when he buys a house, whether he for one,
whether it's for sale or not, or he just says
I want to buy that, and does he ask for
a price because it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Matter to him.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
He is offered owners double or even some of the
properties even triple what the homes are worth.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
So now everyone on the street are going, well, we've
hit the jackpot here.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, because we're in the middle, because there's a couple
of houses that are in the middle and they're refusing
to sell.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So he's just so, this is unbelievable what he's doing.
So he's moved in with his wife, Priscilla Chan and
their three daughters.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
But I mean he's got what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That the compound is encircled by a high row of hedges, right,
and there's no such thing as knocking on the front
door to borrow a couple a cup of sugar. So
one of the unoccupied buildings is used for entertainment and
as a staging ground for outdoor parties. Another prop listen
to this. Another property has been used for the past
(02:30):
few years as a private school for his kids. There's
six adults that work in there, including four teachers. So
they've bought a house and converted it into a school
for their own kids.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
How many kids do they have? One kid?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Three?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
It says this says here though, that there's four.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
There's fourteen kids that go to the school, so they
must be they must be family or friends as well.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
They've got three themselves kids.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
If the kids are sick, if they're having a sick day,
and he got six teachers standing there, what.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Are we doing now?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yes, underneath the compound, Zuckerbird has added six hundred and
fifty square meters of space. Now he's got building permits,
he's got basements, but basically they're bunkers that he's turned
into his billionaires bat cave.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The work has led to eight years of construction, filling
the streets with massive equipment and a lot of noise.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
So the locals are this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So Peter Forgy is a retired lawyer who lived in
Crescent Park for twenty years. Now He said he and
his partner had long for a very long time on
the street. They would have street parties in an open
door policy for the neighbors. So when the Zuckerbirds first
moved into the area, we went over and we left
(03:53):
some gifts. We couldn't get anywhere near the house, but
we left some gifts and we.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Said welcome to the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We try to bring him into the far but nothing
back from the Zuckerbergs.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
No. The Metagate that he installed said no response.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well, this is the security system is ridiculous, whip. So
there's quarters on all these properties. There's quarters for the
security team, right, so they live, they live their property.
There's cameras everywhere and there's just guys that sit in
cars watching who's patrolling this stort.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
The cameras in ray band glasses.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
So you go along the fence, there's just you can
see just pairs of ray bands along the top of
each post.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So Peterforgy said, yeah, we do have these street parties
and everyone in the area usually gets together, but the
Zuckerbirds have never gone there. The only thing that he's
done is that he organized an ice cream cart for
the kids at the last one rocked up out of
the blow. Everyone was like, what's this doing here? And
it was just a little note that said, this is
from Mark Zuckerberg. One mem horrible gift that he left
(05:01):
for people on the street as well was noise canceling headphones.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Or didn't they do that when they were drilling the
hole in?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
They did?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And that the local residents got a pair of headphones,
should have given the mere mufs. Tommy, can you do
a quick Google just on Zuckerberg, because there's the Aussie
guy that he's offered, Like Zuckerberg is and Meta are
trying to own AI as all the big games are.
So you've got Microsoft, you've got Google, you've got Meta,
(05:33):
you've obviously got open AI.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And he has.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Offered huge, has offered this one ossie guy who's created
I think it was a Perth guy.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, Perth guy called Andrew Tullock.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Andrew Tulleck.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's offered him one and a half billion dollars to
come and work for Meta.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And he knocked a Nike yea rejected.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It was he that's not I mean one and a
half billion if you're trying to own AI.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's yeah. But he's pinching these guys, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
He's pinching these guys that are the best in the
world to form this absolute cracks squad that will be
able to be the best in AI. Tommy, this guy
said no and they didn't. Zuck come back with a half.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah, I think he did so. And this guy, Andrew
Tuller was who was at the University of Sydney. He's
only in his thirties and he's described as an extreme genius.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Can we get him on the show? Yeah, and see
if he can do brand Man? Would you want to
play brand Man?
Speaker 9 (06:29):
Or?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He might be quite good at riddle time?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, he could be good for riddle time.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I think you know, he's often in one and a
half knocked it back and then two and a half.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I would have done it for five hundred mil.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
He just loves, he loves He just loves being in
Perth Mate and it's beautiful over there.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
He does well.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
He now lives in California.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, he's now on the gate at Mark Zuckerber Compound.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
This is the Fits and Whiper with Cape Richie podcast.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You are right.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Fits, Oh, we get nervous about this stuff, Loan, I
really am okay.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
It's Shark Week this week.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Now you can stream or watch Shark Week every night
this week on Discovery in HBO Max and it kicks
off tonight. This man is a former Australian Navy Clearance
diver and he is now the Shark Week host and
that is for a reason.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
You'll find out why in a second. But Paul, to
gild and welcome to the Shark Paul.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Hike.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's been a long time, Paul, great to have you
on the show. Mate.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Please set up for everybody that might be tuning in
for the first time, explain why you have become a
host and spokesperson for Shark Week.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Because I'm an idiot. Apparently I don't learn my lesson.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So what happened? It is two thousand and nine. Take
us back, Paul.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
So, I was working, as you said, as a native
Bear and Stiber, Me and three of my teammates were
conducting a counter terrorism exercise in Sydney Harbor right alongside
the Navy base there across from Missus mccrary's chair.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
You know, this is a place where we've worked for decades.
Speaker 10 (08:08):
We trained baby divers there, we worked there ourselves, so
nothing on towards there hadn't been a shark attack in
Sydney Harbor in forty or fifty years even yet, and
still every time I got in the water, I had
sharks on the brain. And what lo and behold, I
manifested my worst nightmare. While I'm swimming on the surface
in a wet suit and a pair of fins, a
(08:28):
ten foot bull shark decided to eat me for breakfast
before I'd even eaten breakfast, which I thought was pretty rude.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
And yeah, rough day it were.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
So I ended up having swimming back to my safety
boat with one hand and one leg through a pool
of my own blood, and my teammates in the boat
rendered first.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Aid kept me alive.
Speaker 10 (08:48):
One of the lads had to stick his hand inside
my leg and pinch closed an artery, and the surgeon
said if he hadn't ha done that, I would have
probably bled out.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
And died within thirty seconds.
Speaker 10 (08:58):
So, oh, my God, an absolute blessing to still be
here today.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So, Paul, do you think on the day back in
two thousand and nine it was just chance and coincidence.
Unfortunately victim of circumstance. The shark got spooped.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
You know.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
I talked to some pops that were there on the
day and they said that they pulled a dead body
out from underneath the finger wharf the day before, and
so maybe that there was sharks attracted to I'm not
one hundred percent, but you know, I went back to
Sydney Harbor last year for a show with a production
(09:36):
company for Shark Week and we went looking for bull
sharks and it was Brian bullshark time. It was perfect
water temperature. We couldn't find a single bloody bullshok, of course,
so just luck, as you said, you know, just bad luck, Paul.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
You did the shark go for your leg or your arm?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
First?
Speaker 10 (09:53):
It was won but it came up from underneath me
and got me by the back of my right handstring
and my hand was by my side, so it got
my eyes.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So what does it feel like, Paul.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
Like, like, roll up your your jeans and just go
on over to the coffee table and kick it as
hard as you can with your bear shin and then
times buy a million nice.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So but but I mean, it's probably a pain you've
never felt before. So did it just feel like it
was a knock? Of a boat or something, Paul did
it was it?
Speaker 7 (10:30):
When it grabbed me.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
Initially I didn't feel anything because that I felt pressure
because the teeth is so sharp they're designed to just
cut through anything. I just felt pressure around my leg.
I looked down. I was like, okay, maybe it was
a log or something. And then obviously there's a massive
sharks head there. And I tried to fight back a
little bit. I couldn't really do much, and then it
started to shake me, and the teeth and the jaws
(10:51):
act as a saw on either side as that head shakes,
and so it was soaring through my flesh and it's
an all encompassing pain. I literally gave up and accepted
the fact that I was going to die because you
are totally and completely at the mercy of this animal.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
So you didn't see it coming at all.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
It was just a hit from no one did. No
one saw it.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
No one saw it coming, no one saw it going.
Just the water around Sydney Harbor and a lot of
places is so murky, it's like pea soup.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
You can't see through it.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You know what, though, Paul, I'm a scuba diver. I
scuba dive, and you do.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I'm a scuba divers, a licensed scubat over and I
seeing a shark is one of the most beautiful things
about getting out into the ocean and being down there
and seeing a you know, when you first see it,
your first reaction is you freak out a little bit.
But they are such beautiful creatures. You would probably talk
about this on shark Wheat. But are there amazing experiences
(11:51):
You were just talking about Ronda Rousei over in Fiji
in that before, But is there what are some of
the amazing experiences that we can do with sharks?
Speaker 10 (11:58):
Paul, Yeah, I'm so glad to hear that you have
echoed what probably ninety nine point nine percent of everyone
and I've ever taken has said.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
It just changes your whole perception when.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
You're in the water with them, you're in clear water,
they can see you, you can see them, and you
realize that you're not actually on the menu. And there's
a lot of things, a lot of experiences you can have.
I personally run trips out to the Bahamas to go
diving with tiger sharks, hammerheads, bull sharks, grivian ree sharks,
nurse sharks. I hand feed all of these sharks in
(12:30):
front of my guests. We do three days of diving.
You can hit You know, one of the last places
in the world where you can go into Great Whites
now is South Australia. There are a lot of places
you can go to have a really great experience with sharks.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Can I ask Paul Sydney Harbor. I'm a guy that
gets out there on the boat and I love jumping
overboard and you know that, I throw the kids over
onto the lily pad and we have a good day out.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Is Sydney Harber still considered safe?
Speaker 10 (12:56):
I always refer to the numbers if there's no hard science,
which there isn't for Sydney Harbor anymore. The DEPI stopped
monitoring bull sharks about six or seven years ago, so
even they have no idea what the bull sharks are
doing in there. There's been that one bite of that girl,
and it looks like it was quite a small shark
as well as you almost had to jump.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Directly on it.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
So there hasn't been any bites. There hasn't been any attacks,
and so I think it's safe. I would choose the
areas that have clearer water yep, not the super murky areas,
but I won't have any hesitation in jumping in.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
It's good to hear we've had poul On before. Mate.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Love this stuff, we really really do. And for everyone
else out there, he's a Shark Week host. So you
can stream or watch Shark Way every night this week
on Discovery Channel and HBO Max. You can catch it there.
Paul to girl and I thank you so much for
coming on the show.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Brother guys. This is the.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Fits In in Whip with Kate Richie podcast Dodgy.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Medical Practitioners and I mean this could be from botox.
This will be getting your hair done over in Turkey, gees.
I've had a couple of bloody shocking stories over there.
But if you do, you know what, because I've got
a story for your next Actually, this was in the
Sunday Telegraph with about that there's a few practitioners that
may be taking advantage of the ndiis. One of them
(14:13):
was that Dr Sanjay Parisher. He owns the Foot Specialist.
He's moved from Australia now he's been living in Dubai
for the last six months. He's not happy because he's
been cut off for four months because the regulator doesn't
usually comment on their bands. But he's beenned from providing
or managing ndiis supports services or funding because I don't know.
(14:37):
This guy's got an amazing life. He's got private jets
with Louie for don V handbags, he's got an amazing rig.
He likes a bit of Doctor Sanja, likes a bit
of Dr Sanjay. But he's now been banned and he's
left Australia. I'm not paying high taxes. He's over there,
he said. I left Australia after building my real estate portfolio.
(14:58):
I'm scaling my airbnbs to one hundred thousand dollars per month.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
But I enjoy that over in Dubai.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Okay, So he's not looking at feet anymore.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Right, So how's this right?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I think I've told you this a while ago, but
I you know, the varicus veins that are on my leg. Yeah,
And I went and got this checked out quite a
while ago.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
And it's more of a cosmetic thing.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I think a lot of people do have these veins,
or these spider veins that you get.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
That's sort of protrude from your skin.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah, they're like panels.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
They don't look good today. No, But it's the blood flow.
It's the blood flow that you are getting into your veins.
And I didn't know this, but eventually down the track,
as you get older, it becomes more of a problem
and that blood flow slows down and you will have
to get it fixed at some stage.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
So I don't have to get it done straight away,
but I went and saw.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
One medical practitioner and he basically said, what we need
to do is we have to remove the whole vein
that goes from your ankle.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
It goes from your ankle all the way up to
your groin.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What So they basically have to cut down the bottom
and they remove the whole.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Vein like a worm coming.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Out of your lean.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
No, and then the body adapts to it and starts
using other veins and the blanket just goes elsewhere that
vein is gone.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
So do you remember I booked myself in.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I was just about to go in for the procedure,
and I thought, I'll do it while I'm young and
I'm sort of healthy still, and then I can recover
quite quickly. A couple of days before I was about
to go in, I hadn't even checked the price. I
didn't know what it was going to be. I thought
I was going to get some money back on Medicare.
Twelve thousand dollars to get my vein removed, I would
(16:40):
have done it. So two days before the procedure, I
just went, I'm not paying twelve thousand dollars to get
a vein removed out of my leg that I don't
need to get done straight away.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I've waited a couple of years. How's this.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I have gone and got a second opinion and a
doctor's gone, you don't need that remove move we can
just use laser. So I'm getting a laser done in
a month's time. It's costing me three thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Oh my god, isn't an extraordinary like you just and
you try and trust. If something has doctor in front
of it, you believe that their interest is in your best.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
But it's often this is just not the case.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
It is the one profession that you would trust the most.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Of course, I mean, especially when you go and see
a specialist as well, you think that you are now
you know that you're you're getting the best, because first
of all, it costs you three four hundred dollars to
go see a specialist, and second of all, you're trusting
what they say. But I'm so glad I got a
second opinion on this one because I've saved myself nine
(17:43):
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Even little things like a friend of ours, they had
the wrong X rays that were given. One show that
they had cancer, the other show they didn't have cancer.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
There was confusion in that. I remember.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I remember Dad went into hospital to have something done.
It was to do with his ticker, and they said
to him you can't Earlier they'd said to him, we
can't operate if your blood pressure is this io in
the morning, you check this blood pressure. He goes in
for the operation. The doctor comes in to do the operation,
and then Dad says, well, shouldn't we hold because that's
my blood pressure? And the doctor goes, oh, yeah, I
(18:17):
should have checked that. You'll have to come back another day.
If they'd gone ahead with the procede, your dad might
not be here. Just this sort of stuff that goes on,
and all you can do you sit there. It's like
someone that doesn't understand cars or engines. And you go
to the mechanic and, as Jerry Seinfeld says, any stand up,
you hope that you open the bonnet and there's an
on and off switch and it's just flicked to off
(18:38):
for some reason.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Well, I had eleven procedures in four years with my
footy career, right, so I had to go UNDERFF eleven
times in four years, and I have got this reaction
to morphine.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
It knocks me for six nauseous.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Vomiting everywhere, with cannot I cannot move, I can hardly
open my eyes. And the last time I went in
for a knee reconstruction, I said to the anethethist, I said, look,
painkiller wise, please don't give me morphine. I have this
unbelievable reaction. I said, I used pethodine and he sort
of laughed at me, and.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I could remember it distinctly.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
He laughed to be when aker, He goes, that's an
old painkiller. We don't really use that anymore, and he said, unfortunately,
you know, most painkillers that we use these days have
a little bit of morphine in it. And I said, well,
can you find one that doesn't. Yeah, because I have
a reaction. So then I go under. I do the
countdown to ten. I wake up from my knee and
I knew stra as soon as I woke up just
(19:37):
vomiting everywhere and I could not I could not move
for twenty four hours. I was just absolutely flawed me.
And I thought, I told this bloke that I didn't want.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
To an annoying you know, if he'd done your other knee,
was the wrong need operated on?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Dodgy medical practitioners look overseas a big one as well.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
I mean, this happens quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
If you've got a story, love to hear from you, Doug,
and picked it.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
What happened to you?
Speaker 11 (20:07):
When I was about twenty years ago, I had to
have an operation and they gave me a drug that's
coming out of the operation, which I was allergic to.
I had to go back for another operation a few
weeks later, and I told the anesthesis I couldn't have
that drug. He had nothing prepared in casa, and I
(20:28):
ended up drowning in my own fluids and my lungs
they collapsed and I spent a good week in hospital recovering.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh, Doug, is there anything that you can do about that?
Or is it's your word versus their word.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Back in those days. Yeah, I'm not the supe of
guy that litigates, but i suppose I could have done something,
but to what any.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Doug You all right now, mate, Lung's okay, Oh.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Yeah, great, you've given YEA upside is I got to
wear a pen and this is I'm allergic to it.
And now they issue it every time you have a
car accident.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh my gosh, okay for looks beautiful.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
That is all right, Chelsea and glen Brook who gave
you dodgy medical advice?
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Chelse, hey, guys home.
Speaker 12 (21:21):
Was this physio at the emergency department at the Canberra Hospital.
I had a soccer game and did my knee. Went
in there, they checked it and we're like, oh, here's
some ton of on some clutches. You'll find just weight
there as tolerated. It turns out I had full a
c L M c L and minister chairs three surgeries later.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Oh no, they didn't scan right there.
Speaker 12 (21:48):
No they did. They did a couple of quick little checks.
I was like, I had some pretty serious injuries. This
is up there, it's fine and yeah I actually I
passed out from the pain just outside sure as they
discharged me.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
So the panetole didn't get you back on the pathos.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
Unfortunately, I thought.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
A shame isn't it. We're thanks for your story. Bridget
In Paramotunta. What happened to you?
Speaker 13 (22:18):
I had a routine colonoscopy and when I got high,
I thought, oh gosh, this is painful. It got more
and more painful, so I took myself off to emergency
and it was excruciating. I was on morphine. The gastroentrologist said, oh, look,
you must have just damaged it when you were, you know,
(22:39):
doing the preparation. So we'll just leave it for another
twenty four hours and then hopefully it will Then then
we'll investigate if it's still around. So the investigated and
what had happened was that gastroentrologist had actually, upon removing
the camera, nicked an internal hemorrhoid, which then just blew
up internally.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh my god, Bridge, but wouldn't he wouldn't have he
seen the hemorrhoid?
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Did he make you away that it was there with
the camera?
Speaker 13 (23:10):
I look, I didn't even ask. It was X was
on the ball feed and still in pain.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Oh my god, Bridge, Tommy, it's a lot of hemorrhoids,
but they're external, aren't They Like a bunch of grapes?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
One on your forehead.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
That's my face, you know. Okay, let's go to fix that.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Let's go to Meghan Narravine, what happened to you?
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Meg?
Speaker 12 (23:35):
I fell down a set of stairs and thought I'd
injured myself really badly.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
And I went to the medical sensor and had X
rays done, and they're.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Like, oh, no, you know, I just must have a
load tolerance.
Speaker 13 (23:47):
For pain, is what I see is because.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
They're like, no, no, it's all good, It's all good.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
And then about three or four months later, my back
went out, and when I spoke to the physio about it,
she said, go and get some extrays and see what's happening.
Speaker 13 (24:01):
Had the X ray and she goes, oh, it's sin
doesn't because of the healing fracture in your pelvis.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
I walked around with.
Speaker 13 (24:09):
A broken pelvis for months thinking that I had a
low tolerance for pain.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Should not happen. Meg, Thanks for you. Call Zoe in
west Pomber, what happened to you?
Speaker 6 (24:22):
So right?
Speaker 13 (24:25):
So, about eleven years ago, I was pregnant and something
I was learning six weeks pregnant and something fell out
of me like a blot close but a bit further.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
Of the doctor.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Imagine the devastation for two days. Devastation for two days
thinking that you've lost your child. And it was there
the whole time, I know, shocking overly.
Speaker 9 (25:54):
Hello today fellas Yeah, just my He had retired, so
I was trying to find a new one. I hadn't
been for a sack up in in quite a while,
so thought I go and get a bit of a
service done, you know, get everything checked over. And anyway,
I went to this fella blood pressure was up. He's like, oh,
(26:14):
you'd be stressed or something. And I know I've got
a bit of work on or something, and I'm not
start He's like, you should try some breathing and stuff,
and so I did it and blood pressure stuff came
to come down. He's like, you know, with this stuff,
you should you should really considered doing a bit more
of it, like you know, start deep breathing and then
(26:37):
your eyelids will get really heavy. And then I was like, hey,
what's going on here? And then all of a sudden
one two three swap across the back of the head
and I had to make a split decision. He's trying
to hypnotize me. Do I just sit there and poorly
met on it or.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Along with it?
Speaker 9 (26:57):
And and I wasn't game enough to confront him. Show
one two three across the back of the head and
I pretended to flop on his bad.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
He thought you were out. He thought you were out, jock.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
Yeah, And he's like, you know, when you come back,
everything will be all good. And you know, anyway, an
hour later of him going on like this, I thought
I was just meant to be in there for a
check your blood and has everything going yet no good? Right,
I still wait to go And then he's like, oh,
(27:33):
you know, I've never really had anyone take to it
as good as you. I think, let's pook you in
to come back later. I was like, look, to be honest,

Yeah, it was no good.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Can you imagine at the end of the day, you've
had five people's worth.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Unfortunately, there's not much he can do about it, that
can you.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I mean, it's the legal system around the medical industry
is pretty tight.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
There's not much you could do.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Have you had your prostate checked? Jet fits, you know,
the old finger up the JACKSI yeah, how's that.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Pretty straightforward? I've never done that. Tommy. How old are you?
You're not old enough? What does it meant to be
forty five?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I think you have.
Speaker 8 (28:24):

think it's forty one. But yeah, or if you have
a family history, maybe I.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Should do that. Yeah, would you help me out with what?

It's disgusting, wasn't it? A look at bin chicken? Okay,
A big shout out of the wonderful doctor. Sorry it's
now reading this. A big shout out of the wonderful
doctors and nurses and healthcare workers across Sydney who listened
to the show.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
We thank you for all the great work that you do.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
This is the Fitting and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Okay, exams time at schools at the moment and the
HSC course combination most popular with students that get ninety
nine point ninety five in their atar. Okay, so all right,
if I was going, if I am a student who
is looking to.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Get close to one hundred percent ninety nine point ninety five,
there's quite a few students. Unbelievable. How many students actually
get that score? Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
What do you think are the five subjects that I'm
going into next year if I needed to go for that.
What's the what's the most man's the combination? The Yeah,
maths correct? Everyone has to do English? Yes, correct?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Chemistry?
Speaker 6 (30:07):
What chemistry is in there? World? Aren't we anyone else?
Want to throw another one out there?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
What about a language? Do you get more points for
a language?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Japanese?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
No, you don't tell me, No you don't. So chemistry
is in there. There's another science in biology? Yeah, no, no, physics,
physics right, so, and there's a look, there's tough here,
but there's two. There's mathematics extension and mathematics. Mathematics extension too.
(30:38):
So they're the five subjects most common, the combinations for
these HSC students.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
To get ninety nine point ninety five?
Speaker 4 (30:49):
And which ones did you do out of that list?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Well? We English and maths you have to do.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I don't think I did math.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
See the other one I did of you know pe
you always throw in their pee when you're a gay sport.
That was easy one for you. I actually did drama
in year twelve. Did the Caucasian Chalk circle with Bertild
breck Less is more? Remember from that call you go
with that one and not too bad. I was a
security guard. So there was the in that play was
(31:21):
the moment where it was there was the two different
mothers that claim that they had the baby.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
So they did the exercise was is that the baby
was in the middle. One held one leg, the other held.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
The other leg, and they pulled to see who was
the real mother. And the real mother was obviously the
mother that didn't want to hurt the child, so she
let the baby go, and.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Then the baby went to the fake mother, and I was.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
A security guard or something. I think just left. I
think my role, my role on the night was just
letting people.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Into the So you actually weren't in the play, no, no,
I was sorry. You were good collection.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
I was in a play and also took tickets. What
did you do well?
Speaker 10 (32:09):
I did?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I don't think I did math. So I think I
chose from a group of subjects that I hadn't given
up on. So English was one. But I just had
to write a story, you know, just bang out a story.
We did read like remember the story I told you
I was terrible fits But we had to do a
(32:31):
book of Shakespearean book. And I went to the library
and I said to them because I didn't want to read.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
I'm not a very good reader. I said, do you
have helmet on audio book Shakespeare's Helmet.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
And she said great, great hardcore me as well.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
She said helmet helmet and I said, yeah, if you
got a helmet, you know, and I've got my hands
up around my ears trying to indicate you the audio
version of helmet. And she said, do you mean Hamlet
either or if you've got Hamlet or helmet, I'm not fussed.
Just give me something so I can go home and
tell mom that I've got the right thing.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
She was looking at you as if you needed to
wear a helmet. Yes, she was one of these students.
It maybe you should put your helmet on.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
No, I didn't need that.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Okay, So they are the five subjects?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Now, I just last night I was at home, just
after dinner, and because Huey, my eldest, is going into
year eleven next year, and this is around the time
that they have to start working out what the five
subjects are. So remember these are I'm thinking to myself,
could I have a student, could I have a son
that could be getting ninety nine point nine to five
in his atar? So The five subjects are Maths Extension
(33:42):
one and two, English, physics, and chemistry.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
I asked him what five subjects he wanted to do
next year?
Speaker 7 (33:50):
Do you do you know the five subjects you want
to do next year?
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Can we go through them?
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Now? Do you know what you want to do? Not?
Speaker 12 (33:56):
Really?
Speaker 7 (33:56):
Well, I'll do math? Yes, what I suppose? English? Yes,
that's good. That's good. Well, maths in English, that's great.
I'm not probably economics as well? And then designed design okay?
Speaker 6 (34:22):
And what else?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Outdoor education?
Speaker 6 (34:24):
What do you want to do? Physics or chemistry? Or
do you want to do maths extension?
Speaker 7 (34:33):
Or what about English Advanced?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
At least please, he's cooked it. He's cooked himself.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
Outdoor education.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
There's some there's some good subjects out there these days,
isn't there.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
This is the Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Let's talk about this.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
One fits psychologist has come out and she's described the
types of people and explained what it is if you
are one of those that can't re remember anybody's name.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I'm a beauty for this.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Because I just kind of I'm horrible. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I don't understand why there's certain people in your life
that for some reason you just can never remember their name,
whereas other people I have not seen in twenty years
and something.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
Will pop up straight away and I'll remember their name.
I don't know why isn't the names just stump me?
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
We went to the footy a while ago. I think
I mentioned this too fits and this girl came over
to say hello, and I could see her walking towards me,
and then she said do you remember me?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
And I said, Hi, Sarah, how are you?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
She'd worked at a hotel we'd stayed at six months earlier,
and it had come back to me where I can
work with someone like the girl down the hallway, Tommy,
that sits at the desk on the on the right,
like she's worked in our team.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
On our team, what had you done in the hotel?
It made her remember you.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
No, it's more that I remembered her, tom I thought
that was nothing like that gifted anything like that. She
wasn't the plan.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Obviously they're talking about it.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
I don't think they were. The old hill know.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Anyway, the psychologists come out and said, if you don't
remember people's names, you might be an abstract thinker.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
So the abstract.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Abstract thinkers tend to focus more on ideas and concepts
rather than details, because I say to Lisa that when we.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Go out and about and we walk into a room,
I'm just like, I've got no idea.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It's like in how they describe a lion as well,
you know what a lion looks at people on safari,
and they don't see individuals sitting in a truck.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
They see the individuals and the Chuck's one big beast.
That's what I see. Just a room full of people,
just big beasts in the well.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
That's what we see as well. End of the shit
every morning, one big best.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
It's not funny, Jess.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
The next point she makes is that you might be
a big picture person, so you might always be someone
that thinks about the larger details like where you have
to be, what time, and where the party is, instead
of who the people at the party are. Alternatively, you
might be highly intelligent, guilty, and therefore you could just
(37:32):
forget names because you don't see them as important. One
if it's that old rule about repeating that person's name
three times, that actually works. So I'll say, oh, nice
to meet you Ryan. Oh that's a great story Ryan,
all right, Ryan, good on your mate, See you're Ryan's
not there for.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
We had Dad's eightieth the other day I had a
birthday part. Well, very tough because there's a lot of
people there that I haven't seen for a very long time.
Worst the about it, there was a whole table of
Dad's family.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
Did not know one, did not know one name.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
When I cousin Shane was cousin Shane. There NAIs invited
because you had it at the pub that he was
banned for.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
This is there. He's still got the lifetime band was
still trying to work out what he's done.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Okay, you know, and it was like it was that
moment of because you know, how many mates can you drop?
Speaker 6 (38:28):
Yeah, how are your mate? Good to see a big fella?
Speaker 3 (38:35):
And do you know what name tags sometimes seem in
saltyre a good idea?
Speaker 6 (38:43):
How's this?
Speaker 3 (38:44):
And then you had to try and sneak the look
in on the name tag to kind of without being
caught dropping your eyes.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
Funny, funny, you should bring that up because.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
So the other day when we play football whip right,
you go to the other you go to the other,
the opposition's club, and you usually what I usually do.
I'll go in there and I'll have a beer and
see some of the guys that I used to play
against when I was younger. So the other day, we're
at the wine Flies Club, all right, they're they're called
the wine Flies, that's their name.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
There's vineyards around the footy club. They had a past.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Player's day, so I went in there at halftime and
they usually give you some free food and a couple
of beers. So I went in there and caught up
with some mates. They all had name tags. But then
I just went way too far and I was just
walking around the room thinking I was so good because
I knew everybody's name. There were people there that I
didn't even know, but I would go up to them
and go, hello, Alan, Jolly, how are you.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It is with k Richie. Welcome to the Tuesday podcast.
I'm going to be speaking to a blake. Well, luckily
that we got to speak to him. He shouldn't be here.
He was bitten by a shark. It's Shark Week everybody. Now,
he's got a television show that tells you what to
do if you should be attacked by a shark. I
(00:26):
don't think there's The unfortunate thing is when you hear
his story in the podcast, there was nothing that he
could do that could prevent what happened to his shark.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Sorry, it was it was a shark that got him.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Just helping out because he's in the podcast.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Okay, this is the Fitzian Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Mark Zuckerberg and what he's done, what he has done
with buying up real estate in a couple of streets
around him. So he's in Palo Alto, California, which is
sort of up near San Jose, a bit down from
San Francisco. With right, so it's nowhere near Los Angeles,
but he's in California. He must love the area, because mate,
(01:13):
he has bought up big. He's bought up in two
streets Edgewood Drive and Hamilton Avenue, and he's buying up
like a Monopoly game board whip.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
He's spent over two hundred million.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Dollars and he scooped up at least eleven houses.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I wonder when he buys a house, whether he for one,
whether it's for sale or not, or he just says
I want to buy that, and does he ask for
a price because it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Matter to him.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
He is offered owners double or even some of the
properties even triple what the homes are worth.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
So now everyone on the street are going, well, we've
hit the jackpot here.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, because we're in the middle, because there's a couple
of houses that are in the middle and they're refusing
to sell.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So he's just so, this is unbelievable what he's doing.
So he's moved in with his wife, Priscilla Chan and
their three daughters.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
But I mean he's got what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
That the compound is encircled by a high row of hedges, right,
and there's no such thing as knocking on the front
door to borrow a couple a cup of sugar. So
one of the unoccupied buildings is used for entertainment and
as a staging ground for outdoor parties. Another prop listen
to this. Another property has been used for the past
(02:30):
few years as a private school for his kids. There's
six adults that work in there, including four teachers. So
they've bought a house and converted it into a school
for their own kids.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
How many kids do they have? One kid?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Three?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
It says this says here though, that there's four.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
There's fourteen kids that go to the school, so they
must be they must be family or friends as well.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
They've got three themselves kids.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
If the kids are sick, if they're having a sick day,
and he got six teachers standing there, what.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Are we doing now?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yes, underneath the compound, Zuckerbird has added six hundred and
fifty square meters of space. Now he's got building permits,
he's got basements, but basically they're bunkers that he's turned
into his billionaires bat cave.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The work has led to eight years of construction, filling
the streets with massive equipment and a lot of noise.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
So the locals are this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So Peter Forgy is a retired lawyer who lived in
Crescent Park for twenty years. Now He said he and
his partner had long for a very long time on
the street. They would have street parties in an open
door policy for the neighbors. So when the Zuckerbirds first
moved into the area, we went over and we left
(03:53):
some gifts. We couldn't get anywhere near the house, but
we left some gifts and we.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Said welcome to the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We try to bring him into the far but nothing
back from the Zuckerbergs.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
No. The Metagate that he installed said no response.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Well, this is the security system is ridiculous, whip. So
there's quarters on all these properties. There's quarters for the
security team, right, so they live, they live their property.
There's cameras everywhere and there's just guys that sit in
cars watching who's patrolling this stort.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
The cameras in ray band glasses.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
So you go along the fence, there's just you can
see just pairs of ray bands along the top of
each post.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So Peterforgy said, yeah, we do have these street parties
and everyone in the area usually gets together, but the
Zuckerbirds have never gone there. The only thing that he's
done is that he organized an ice cream cart for
the kids at the last one rocked up out of
the blow. Everyone was like, what's this doing here? And
it was just a little note that said, this is
from Mark Zuckerberg. One mem horrible gift that he left
(05:01):
for people on the street as well was noise canceling headphones.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Or didn't they do that when they were drilling the
hole in?
Speaker 4 (05:11):
They did?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
And that the local residents got a pair of headphones,
should have given the mere mufs. Tommy, can you do
a quick Google just on Zuckerberg, because there's the Aussie
guy that he's offered, Like Zuckerberg is and Meta are
trying to own AI as all the big games are.
So you've got Microsoft, you've got Google, you've got Meta,
(05:33):
you've obviously got open AI.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
And he has.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Offered huge, has offered this one ossie guy who's created
I think it was a Perth guy.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, Perth guy called Andrew Tullock.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Andrew Tulleck.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's offered him one and a half billion dollars to
come and work for Meta.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Is that right?
Speaker 6 (05:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And he knocked a Nike yea rejected.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It was he that's not I mean one and a
half billion if you're trying to own AI.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
That's yeah. But he's pinching these guys, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
He's pinching these guys that are the best in the
world to form this absolute cracks squad that will be
able to be the best in AI. Tommy, this guy
said no and they didn't. Zuck come back with a half.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah, I think he did so. And this guy, Andrew
Tuller was who was at the University of Sydney. He's
only in his thirties and he's described as an extreme genius.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Can we get him on the show? Yeah, and see
if he can do brand Man? Would you want to
play brand Man?
Speaker 9 (06:29):
Or?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He might be quite good at riddle time?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, he could be good for riddle time.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I think you know, he's often in one and a
half knocked it back and then two and a half.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I would have done it for five hundred mil.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
He just loves, he loves He just loves being in
Perth Mate and it's beautiful over there.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
He does well.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
He now lives in California.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, he's now on the gate at Mark Zuckerber Compound.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
This is the Fits and Whiper with Cape Richie podcast.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You are right.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Fits, Oh, we get nervous about this stuff, Loan, I
really am okay.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
It's Shark Week this week.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Now you can stream or watch Shark Week every night
this week on Discovery in HBO Max and it kicks
off tonight. This man is a former Australian Navy Clearance
diver and he is now the Shark Week host and
that is for a reason.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
You'll find out why in a second. But Paul, to
gild and welcome to the Shark Paul.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Hike.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
It's been a long time, Paul, great to have you
on the show. Mate.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Please set up for everybody that might be tuning in
for the first time, explain why you have become a
host and spokesperson for Shark Week.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Because I'm an idiot. Apparently I don't learn my lesson.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
So what happened? It is two thousand and nine. Take
us back, Paul.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
So, I was working, as you said, as a native
Bear and Stiber, Me and three of my teammates were
conducting a counter terrorism exercise in Sydney Harbor right alongside
the Navy base there across from Missus mccrary's chair.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
You know, this is a place where we've worked for decades.
Speaker 10 (08:08):
We trained baby divers there, we worked there ourselves, so
nothing on towards there hadn't been a shark attack in
Sydney Harbor in forty or fifty years even yet, and
still every time I got in the water, I had
sharks on the brain. And what lo and behold, I
manifested my worst nightmare. While I'm swimming on the surface
in a wet suit and a pair of fins, a
(08:28):
ten foot bull shark decided to eat me for breakfast
before I'd even eaten breakfast, which I thought was pretty rude.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
And yeah, rough day it were.
Speaker 10 (08:37):
So I ended up having swimming back to my safety
boat with one hand and one leg through a pool
of my own blood, and my teammates in the boat
rendered first.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Aid kept me alive.
Speaker 10 (08:48):
One of the lads had to stick his hand inside
my leg and pinch closed an artery, and the surgeon
said if he hadn't ha done that, I would have
probably bled out.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
And died within thirty seconds.
Speaker 10 (08:58):
So, oh, my God, an absolute blessing to still be
here today.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So, Paul, do you think on the day back in
two thousand and nine it was just chance and coincidence.
Unfortunately victim of circumstance. The shark got spooped.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
You know.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
I talked to some pops that were there on the
day and they said that they pulled a dead body
out from underneath the finger wharf the day before, and
so maybe that there was sharks attracted to I'm not
one hundred percent, but you know, I went back to
Sydney Harbor last year for a show with a production
(09:36):
company for Shark Week and we went looking for bull
sharks and it was Brian bullshark time. It was perfect
water temperature. We couldn't find a single bloody bullshok, of course,
so just luck, as you said, you know, just bad luck, Paul.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
You did the shark go for your leg or your arm?
Speaker 7 (09:52):
First?
Speaker 10 (09:53):
It was won but it came up from underneath me
and got me by the back of my right handstring
and my hand was by my side, so it got
my eyes.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
So what does it feel like, Paul.
Speaker 10 (10:07):
Like, like, roll up your your jeans and just go
on over to the coffee table and kick it as
hard as you can with your bear shin and then
times buy a million nice.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So but but I mean, it's probably a pain you've
never felt before. So did it just feel like it
was a knock? Of a boat or something, Paul did
it was it?
Speaker 7 (10:30):
When it grabbed me.
Speaker 10 (10:31):
Initially I didn't feel anything because that I felt pressure
because the teeth is so sharp they're designed to just
cut through anything. I just felt pressure around my leg.
I looked down. I was like, okay, maybe it was
a log or something. And then obviously there's a massive
sharks head there. And I tried to fight back a
little bit. I couldn't really do much, and then it
started to shake me, and the teeth and the jaws
(10:51):
act as a saw on either side as that head shakes,
and so it was soaring through my flesh and it's
an all encompassing pain. I literally gave up and accepted
the fact that I was going to die because you
are totally and completely at the mercy of this animal.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
So you didn't see it coming at all.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
It was just a hit from no one did. No
one saw it.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
No one saw it coming, no one saw it going.
Just the water around Sydney Harbor and a lot of
places is so murky, it's like pea soup.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
You can't see through it.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
You know what, though, Paul, I'm a scuba diver. I
scuba dive, and you do.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I'm a scuba divers, a licensed scubat over and I
seeing a shark is one of the most beautiful things
about getting out into the ocean and being down there
and seeing a you know, when you first see it,
your first reaction is you freak out a little bit.
But they are such beautiful creatures. You would probably talk
about this on shark Wheat. But are there amazing experiences
(11:51):
You were just talking about Ronda Rousei over in Fiji
in that before, But is there what are some of
the amazing experiences that we can do with sharks?
Speaker 10 (11:58):
Paul, Yeah, I'm so glad to hear that you have
echoed what probably ninety nine point nine percent of everyone
and I've ever taken has said.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
It just changes your whole perception when.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
You're in the water with them, you're in clear water,
they can see you, you can see them, and you
realize that you're not actually on the menu. And there's
a lot of things, a lot of experiences you can have.
I personally run trips out to the Bahamas to go
diving with tiger sharks, hammerheads, bull sharks, grivian ree sharks,
nurse sharks. I hand feed all of these sharks in
(12:30):
front of my guests. We do three days of diving.
You can hit You know, one of the last places
in the world where you can go into Great Whites
now is South Australia. There are a lot of places
you can go to have a really great experience with sharks.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Can I ask Paul Sydney Harbor. I'm a guy that
gets out there on the boat and I love jumping
overboard and you know that, I throw the kids over
onto the lily pad and we have a good day out.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Is Sydney Harber still considered safe?
Speaker 10 (12:56):
I always refer to the numbers if there's no hard science,
which there isn't for Sydney Harbor anymore. The DEPI stopped
monitoring bull sharks about six or seven years ago, so
even they have no idea what the bull sharks are
doing in there. There's been that one bite of that girl,
and it looks like it was quite a small shark
as well as you almost had to jump.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Directly on it.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
So there hasn't been any bites. There hasn't been any attacks,
and so I think it's safe. I would choose the
areas that have clearer water yep, not the super murky areas,
but I won't have any hesitation in jumping in.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
It's good to hear we've had poul On before. Mate.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Love this stuff, we really really do. And for everyone
else out there, he's a Shark Week host. So you
can stream or watch Shark Way every night this week
on Discovery Channel and HBO Max. You can catch it there.
Paul to girl and I thank you so much for
coming on the show.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
Brother guys. This is the.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Fits In in Whip with Kate Richie podcast Dodgy.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Medical Practitioners and I mean this could be from botox.
This will be getting your hair done over in Turkey, gees.
I've had a couple of bloody shocking stories over there.
But if you do, you know what, because I've got
a story for your next Actually, this was in the
Sunday Telegraph with about that there's a few practitioners that
may be taking advantage of the ndiis. One of them
(14:13):
was that Dr Sanjay Parisher. He owns the Foot Specialist.
He's moved from Australia now he's been living in Dubai
for the last six months. He's not happy because he's
been cut off for four months because the regulator doesn't
usually comment on their bands. But he's beenned from providing
or managing ndiis supports services or funding because I don't know.
(14:37):
This guy's got an amazing life. He's got private jets
with Louie for don V handbags, he's got an amazing rig.
He likes a bit of Doctor Sanja, likes a bit
of Dr Sanjay. But he's now been banned and he's
left Australia. I'm not paying high taxes. He's over there,
he said. I left Australia after building my real estate portfolio.
(14:58):
I'm scaling my airbnbs to one hundred thousand dollars per month.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
But I enjoy that over in Dubai.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Okay, So he's not looking at feet anymore.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Right, So how's this right?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I think I've told you this a while ago, but
I you know, the varicus veins that are on my leg. Yeah,
And I went and got this checked out quite a
while ago.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
And it's more of a cosmetic thing.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I think a lot of people do have these veins,
or these spider veins that you get.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
That's sort of protrude from your skin.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah, they're like panels.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
They don't look good today. No, But it's the blood flow.
It's the blood flow that you are getting into your veins.
And I didn't know this, but eventually down the track,
as you get older, it becomes more of a problem
and that blood flow slows down and you will have
to get it fixed at some stage.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
So I don't have to get it done straight away,
but I went and saw.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
One medical practitioner and he basically said, what we need
to do is we have to remove the whole vein
that goes from your ankle.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
It goes from your ankle all the way up to
your groin.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What So they basically have to cut down the bottom
and they remove the whole.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Vein like a worm coming.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Out of your lean.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
No, and then the body adapts to it and starts
using other veins and the blanket just goes elsewhere that
vein is gone.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
So do you remember I booked myself in.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I was just about to go in for the procedure,
and I thought, I'll do it while I'm young and
I'm sort of healthy still, and then I can recover
quite quickly. A couple of days before I was about
to go in, I hadn't even checked the price. I
didn't know what it was going to be. I thought
I was going to get some money back on Medicare.
Twelve thousand dollars to get my vein removed, I would
(16:40):
have done it. So two days before the procedure, I
just went, I'm not paying twelve thousand dollars to get
a vein removed out of my leg that I don't
need to get done straight away.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I've waited a couple of years. How's this.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I have gone and got a second opinion and a
doctor's gone, you don't need that remove move we can
just use laser. So I'm getting a laser done in
a month's time. It's costing me three thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Oh my god, isn't an extraordinary like you just and
you try and trust. If something has doctor in front
of it, you believe that their interest is in your best.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
But it's often this is just not the case.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
It is the one profession that you would trust the most.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Of course, I mean, especially when you go and see
a specialist as well, you think that you are now
you know that you're you're getting the best, because first
of all, it costs you three four hundred dollars to
go see a specialist, and second of all, you're trusting
what they say. But I'm so glad I got a
second opinion on this one because I've saved myself nine
(17:43):
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Even little things like a friend of ours, they had
the wrong X rays that were given. One show that
they had cancer, the other show they didn't have cancer.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
There was confusion in that. I remember.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
I remember Dad went into hospital to have something done.
It was to do with his ticker, and they said
to him you can't Earlier they'd said to him, we
can't operate if your blood pressure is this io in
the morning, you check this blood pressure. He goes in
for the operation. The doctor comes in to do the operation,
and then Dad says, well, shouldn't we hold because that's
my blood pressure? And the doctor goes, oh, yeah, I
(18:17):
should have checked that. You'll have to come back another day.
If they'd gone ahead with the procede, your dad might
not be here. Just this sort of stuff that goes on,
and all you can do you sit there. It's like
someone that doesn't understand cars or engines. And you go
to the mechanic and, as Jerry Seinfeld says, any stand up,
you hope that you open the bonnet and there's an
on and off switch and it's just flicked to off
(18:38):
for some reason.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Well, I had eleven procedures in four years with my
footy career, right, so I had to go UNDERFF eleven
times in four years, and I have got this reaction
to morphine.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
It knocks me for six nauseous.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Vomiting everywhere, with cannot I cannot move, I can hardly
open my eyes. And the last time I went in
for a knee reconstruction, I said to the anethethist, I said, look,
painkiller wise, please don't give me morphine. I have this
unbelievable reaction. I said, I used pethodine and he sort
of laughed at me, and.
Speaker 6 (19:14):
I could remember it distinctly.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
He laughed to be when aker, He goes, that's an
old painkiller. We don't really use that anymore, and he said, unfortunately,
you know, most painkillers that we use these days have
a little bit of morphine in it. And I said, well,
can you find one that doesn't. Yeah, because I have
a reaction. So then I go under. I do the
countdown to ten. I wake up from my knee and
I knew stra as soon as I woke up just
(19:37):
vomiting everywhere and I could not I could not move
for twenty four hours. I was just absolutely flawed me.
And I thought, I told this bloke that I didn't want.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
To an annoying you know, if he'd done your other knee,
was the wrong need operated on?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Dodgy medical practitioners look overseas a big one as well.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
I mean, this happens quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
If you've got a story, love to hear from you, Doug,
and picked it.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
What happened to you?
Speaker 11 (20:07):
When I was about twenty years ago, I had to
have an operation and they gave me a drug that's
coming out of the operation, which I was allergic to.
I had to go back for another operation a few
weeks later, and I told the anesthesis I couldn't have
that drug. He had nothing prepared in casa, and I
(20:28):
ended up drowning in my own fluids and my lungs
they collapsed and I spent a good week in hospital recovering.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh, Doug, is there anything that you can do about that?
Or is it's your word versus their word.
Speaker 11 (20:47):
Back in those days. Yeah, I'm not the supe of
guy that litigates, but i suppose I could have done something,
but to what any.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Doug You all right now, mate, Lung's okay, Oh.
Speaker 11 (21:00):
Yeah, great, you've given YEA upside is I got to
wear a pen and this is I'm allergic to it.
And now they issue it every time you have a
car accident.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh my gosh, okay for looks beautiful.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
That is all right, Chelsea and glen Brook who gave
you dodgy medical advice?
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Chelse, hey, guys home.
Speaker 12 (21:21):
Was this physio at the emergency department at the Canberra Hospital.
I had a soccer game and did my knee. Went
in there, they checked it and we're like, oh, here's
some ton of on some clutches. You'll find just weight
there as tolerated. It turns out I had full a
c L M c L and minister chairs three surgeries later.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Oh no, they didn't scan right there.
Speaker 12 (21:48):
No they did. They did a couple of quick little checks.
I was like, I had some pretty serious injuries. This
is up there, it's fine and yeah I actually I
passed out from the pain just outside sure as they
discharged me.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
So the panetole didn't get you back on the pathos.
Speaker 7 (22:10):
Unfortunately, I thought.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
A shame isn't it. We're thanks for your story. Bridget
In Paramotunta. What happened to you?
Speaker 13 (22:18):
I had a routine colonoscopy and when I got high,
I thought, oh gosh, this is painful. It got more
and more painful, so I took myself off to emergency
and it was excruciating. I was on morphine. The gastroentrologist said, oh, look,
you must have just damaged it when you were, you know,
(22:39):
doing the preparation. So we'll just leave it for another
twenty four hours and then hopefully it will Then then
we'll investigate if it's still around. So the investigated and
what had happened was that gastroentrologist had actually, upon removing
the camera, nicked an internal hemorrhoid, which then just blew
up internally.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Oh my god, Bridge, but wouldn't he wouldn't have he
seen the hemorrhoid?
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Did he make you away that it was there with
the camera?
Speaker 13 (23:10):
I look, I didn't even ask. It was X was
on the ball feed and still in pain.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Oh my god, Bridge, Tommy, it's a lot of hemorrhoids,
but they're external, aren't They Like a bunch of grapes?
Speaker 6 (23:24):
One on your forehead.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
That's my face, you know. Okay, let's go to fix that.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
Let's go to Meghan Narravine, what happened to you?
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Meg?
Speaker 12 (23:35):
I fell down a set of stairs and thought I'd
injured myself really badly.
Speaker 13 (23:39):
And I went to the medical sensor and had X
rays done, and they're.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Like, oh, no, you know, I just must have a
load tolerance.
Speaker 13 (23:47):
For pain, is what I see is because.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
They're like, no, no, it's all good, It's all good.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
And then about three or four months later, my back
went out, and when I spoke to the physio about it,
she said, go and get some extrays and see what's happening.
Speaker 13 (24:01):
Had the X ray and she goes, oh, it's sin
doesn't because of the healing fracture in your pelvis.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Oh my god.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
I walked around with.
Speaker 13 (24:09):
A broken pelvis for months thinking that I had a
low tolerance for pain.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Should not happen. Meg, Thanks for you. Call Zoe in
west Pomber, what happened to you?
Speaker 6 (24:22):
So right?
Speaker 13 (24:25):
So, about eleven years ago, I was pregnant and something
I was learning six weeks pregnant and something fell out
of me like a blot close but a bit further.
Things good, all and they said.
Speaker 11 (24:38):
I had a misscurage.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
They said that and the sample and I had miscarriage

service done, you know, get everything checked over. And anyway,
I went to this fella blood pressure was up. He's like, oh,
(26:14):
you'd be stressed or something. And I know I've got
a bit of work on or something, and I'm not
start He's like, you should try some breathing and stuff,
and so I did it and blood pressure stuff came
to come down. He's like, you know, with this stuff,
you should you should really considered doing a bit more
of it, like you know, start deep breathing and then
(26:37):
your eyelids will get really heavy. And then I was like, hey,
what's going on here? And then all of a sudden
one two three swap across the back of the head
and I had to make a split decision. He's trying
to hypnotize me. Do I just sit there and poorly
met on it or.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Along with it?
Speaker 9 (26:57):
And and I wasn't game enough to confront him. Show
one two three across the back of the head and
I pretended to flop on his bad.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
He thought you were out. He thought you were out, jock.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
Yeah, And he's like, you know, when you come back,
everything will be all good. And you know, anyway, an
hour later of him going on like this, I thought
I was just meant to be in there for a
check your blood and has everything going yet no good? Right,
I still wait to go And then he's like, oh,
(27:33):
you know, I've never really had anyone take to it
as good as you. I think, let's pook you in
to come back later. I was like, look, to be honest,
I'll just get the blood tests, I think, and.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah, an hour later, that's unlabel Jock.
Speaker 11 (27:51):
Yeah, it was no good.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Can you imagine at the end of the day, you've
had five people's worth.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Unfortunately, there's not much he can do about it, that
can you.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I mean, it's the legal system around the medical industry
is pretty tight.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
There's not much you could do.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Have you had your prostate checked? Jet fits, you know,
the old finger up the JACKSI yeah, how's that.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Pretty straightforward? I've never done that. Tommy. How old are you?
You're not old enough? What does it meant to be
forty five?
Speaker 6 (28:24):
I think you have.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
I think they recommend it from the unfort forty. I
think it's forty one. But yeah, or if you have
a family history, maybe I.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Should do that. Yeah, would you help me out with what?
Tommy not qualified for that?
Speaker 1 (28:36):

A big shout out of the wonderful doctor. Sorry it's
now reading this. A big shout out of the wonderful
doctors and nurses and healthcare workers across Sydney who listened
to the show.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
We thank you for all the great work that you do.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
This is the Fitting and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Okay, exams time at schools at the moment and the
HSC course combination most popular with students that get ninety
nine point ninety five in their atar. Okay, so all right,
if I was going, if I am a student who
is looking to.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Get close to one hundred percent ninety nine point ninety five,
there's quite a few students. Unbelievable. How many students actually
get that score? Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
What do you think are the five subjects that I'm
going into next year if I needed to go for that.
What's the what's the most man's the combination? The Yeah,
maths correct? Everyone has to do English? Yes, correct?
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Chemistry?
Speaker 6 (30:07):
What chemistry is in there? World? Aren't we anyone else?
Want to throw another one out there?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
What about a language? Do you get more points for
a language?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Japanese?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
No, you don't tell me, No you don't. So chemistry
is in there. There's another science in biology? Yeah, no, no, physics,
physics right, so, and there's a look, there's tough here,
but there's two. There's mathematics extension and mathematics. Mathematics extension too.
(30:38):
So they're the five subjects most common, the combinations for
these HSC students.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
To get ninety nine point ninety five?
Speaker 4 (30:49):
And which ones did you do out of that list?
Speaker 6 (30:52):
Well? We English and maths you have to do.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
I don't think I did math.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
See the other one I did of you know pe
you always throw in their pee when you're a gay sport.
That was easy one for you. I actually did drama
in year twelve. Did the Caucasian Chalk circle with Bertild
breck Less is more? Remember from that call you go
with that one and not too bad. I was a
security guard. So there was the in that play was
(31:21):
the moment where it was there was the two different
mothers that claim that they had the baby.
Speaker 6 (31:28):
So they did the exercise was is that the baby
was in the middle. One held one leg, the other held.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
The other leg, and they pulled to see who was
the real mother. And the real mother was obviously the
mother that didn't want to hurt the child, so she
let the baby go, and.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Then the baby went to the fake mother, and I was.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
A security guard or something. I think just left. I
think my role, my role on the night was just
letting people.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Into the So you actually weren't in the play, no, no,
I was sorry. You were good collection.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
I was in a play and also took tickets. What
did you do well?
Speaker 10 (32:09):
I did?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
I don't think I did math. So I think I
chose from a group of subjects that I hadn't given
up on. So English was one. But I just had
to write a story, you know, just bang out a story.
We did read like remember the story I told you
I was terrible fits But we had to do a
(32:31):
book of Shakespearean book. And I went to the library
and I said to them because I didn't want to read.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
I'm not a very good reader. I said, do you
have helmet on audio book Shakespeare's Helmet.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
And she said great, great hardcore me as well.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
She said helmet helmet and I said, yeah, if you
got a helmet, you know, and I've got my hands
up around my ears trying to indicate you the audio
version of helmet. And she said, do you mean Hamlet
either or if you've got Hamlet or helmet, I'm not fussed.
Just give me something so I can go home and
tell mom that I've got the right thing.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
She was looking at you as if you needed to
wear a helmet. Yes, she was one of these students.
It maybe you should put your helmet on.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
No, I didn't need that.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Okay, So they are the five subjects?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Now, I just last night I was at home, just
after dinner, and because Huey, my eldest, is going into
year eleven next year, and this is around the time
that they have to start working out what the five
subjects are. So remember these are I'm thinking to myself,
could I have a student, could I have a son
that could be getting ninety nine point nine to five
in his atar? So The five subjects are Maths Extension
(33:42):
one and two, English, physics, and chemistry.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
I asked him what five subjects he wanted to do
next year?
Speaker 7 (33:50):
Do you do you know the five subjects you want
to do next year?
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Can we go through them?
Speaker 7 (33:54):
Now? Do you know what you want to do? Not?
Speaker 12 (33:56):
Really?
Speaker 7 (33:56):
Well, I'll do math? Yes, what I suppose? English? Yes,
that's good. That's good. Well, maths in English, that's great.
I'm not probably economics as well? And then designed design okay?
Speaker 6 (34:22):
And what else?
Speaker 7 (34:23):
Outdoor education?
Speaker 6 (34:24):
What do you want to do? Physics or chemistry? Or
do you want to do maths extension?
Speaker 7 (34:33):
Or what about English Advanced?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
At least please, he's cooked it. He's cooked himself.
Speaker 6 (34:38):
Outdoor education.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
There's some there's some good subjects out there these days,
isn't there.
Speaker 5 (34:46):
This is the Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Let's talk about this.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
One fits psychologist has come out and she's described the
types of people and explained what it is if you
are one of those that can't re remember anybody's name.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I'm a beauty for this.
Speaker 6 (35:03):
Because I just kind of I'm horrible. I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I don't understand why there's certain people in your life
that for some reason you just can never remember their name,
whereas other people I have not seen in twenty years
and something.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
Will pop up straight away and I'll remember their name.
I don't know why isn't the names just stump me?
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
We went to the footy a while ago. I think
I mentioned this too fits and this girl came over
to say hello, and I could see her walking towards me,
and then she said do you remember me?
Speaker 4 (35:36):
And I said, Hi, Sarah, how are you?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
She'd worked at a hotel we'd stayed at six months earlier,
and it had come back to me where I can
work with someone like the girl down the hallway, Tommy,
that sits at the desk on the on the right,
like she's worked in our team.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
On our team, what had you done in the hotel?
It made her remember you.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
No, it's more that I remembered her, tom I thought
that was nothing like that gifted anything like that. She
wasn't the plan.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
Obviously they're talking about it.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
I don't think they were. The old hill know.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Anyway, the psychologists come out and said, if you don't
remember people's names, you might be an abstract thinker.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
So the abstract.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Abstract thinkers tend to focus more on ideas and concepts
rather than details, because I say to Lisa that when we.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Go out and about and we walk into a room,
I'm just like, I've got no idea.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It's like in how they describe a lion as well,
you know what a lion looks at people on safari,
and they don't see individuals sitting in a truck.
Speaker 4 (36:51):
They see the individuals and the Chuck's one big beast.
That's what I see. Just a room full of people,
just big beasts in the well.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
That's what we see as well. End of the shit
every morning, one big best.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
It's not funny, Jess.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
The next point she makes is that you might be
a big picture person, so you might always be someone
that thinks about the larger details like where you have
to be, what time, and where the party is, instead
of who the people at the party are. Alternatively, you
might be highly intelligent, guilty, and therefore you could just
(37:32):
forget names because you don't see them as important. One
if it's that old rule about repeating that person's name
three times, that actually works. So I'll say, oh, nice
to meet you Ryan. Oh that's a great story Ryan,
all right, Ryan, good on your mate, See you're Ryan's
not there for.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
We had Dad's eightieth the other day I had a
birthday part. Well, very tough because there's a lot of
people there that I haven't seen for a very long time.
Worst the about it, there was a whole table of
Dad's family.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
Did not know one, did not know one name.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
When I cousin Shane was cousin Shane. There NAIs invited
because you had it at the pub that he was
banned for.
Speaker 6 (38:17):
This is there. He's still got the lifetime band was
still trying to work out what he's done.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Okay, you know, and it was like it was that
moment of because you know, how many mates can you drop?
Speaker 6 (38:28):
Yeah, how are your mate? Good to see a big fella?
Speaker 3 (38:35):
And do you know what name tags sometimes seem in
saltyre a good idea?
Speaker 6 (38:43):
How's this?
Speaker 3 (38:44):
And then you had to try and sneak the look
in on the name tag to kind of without being
caught dropping your eyes.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
Funny, funny, you should bring that up because.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
So the other day when we play football whip right,
you go to the other you go to the other,
the opposition's club, and you usually what I usually do.
I'll go in there and I'll have a beer and
see some of the guys that I used to play
against when I was younger. So the other day, we're
at the wine Flies Club, all right, they're they're called
the wine Flies, that's their name.
Speaker 6 (39:15):
There's vineyards around the footy club. They had a past.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Player's day, so I went in there at halftime and
they usually give you some free food and a couple
of beers. So I went in there and caught up
with some mates. They all had name tags. But then
I just went way too far and I was just
walking around the room thinking I was so good because
I knew everybody's name. There were people there that I
didn't even know, but I would go up to them
and go, hello, Alan, Jolly, how are you.
