Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fitting and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.
Let's talk about this photo of Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's been getting around for the past couple of days
and now tit news services and I've never heard of
a blow up over absolutely nothing like I've seen with this.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's a name you would fellow fellow bat hair contestant
over here.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's a photo of Travis Kelcey. Like we all know,
he's a good looking rooster. There's a photo of him
with his shirt on. Then there's a photo of him
with his shirt off. Now his back is facing towards us.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
What it looks like.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
He's obviously a hairy man, and he's got a hairy back,
but there are patches missing, so I would suggest his
kind of part laser or he's had his back taped
or something like that, and there's hair missing. He looks
like an old dog that's a mangy dog that's been
in a couple of street fights and has lost a
bit of fluff off.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Its he does he does. He looks like a razor
dog that you see in Thailand. Yeah, it's you know,
it's probably taping. Being a professional sportsman. That's what I'm
thinking because he's a big unit. But see, I look,
this is a look that a lot of women love.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
A lot of people don't as well.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
I said in fourteen Years of the Show, Ryan James.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Well, is it hair medication?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Though? I mean, the reason why you've got so much
back hair is because of the medication. Do you reckon
Kelsey's on the same medication as you are?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Naturally?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I had back hair anyway, though, fits before I got
on the hair meds or i'd had any laser laser,
didn't you? Yeah, about twenty times, which was extremely painful.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Painful and expensive. I reckon.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I had one of the first lasers ever developed. So
this was like when I was finishing school. Would take
about four It was huge. It would get lowered down
by a crane, and without a word of a lie,
what they did. They put pure carbon on my back
in the form.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Of a paste.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
They then got a big paddle popstick and they rubbed
it all over the over my back so that the
black carbon would go into the hair follicle, and then
they shattered each hair follicle. At one stage, I turned
my head. I pulled my head out of the hole.
At the end of the bed like the massage bed
and turned to the side, and I saw her wipe
blood off my back, so it's not so painful.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
They were basically welding on your back.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Were welding.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, the girl had a welding helmet on. She said,
you can't look straight into the laser. My god, Can
I just say too? Like Travis Kelsey knows he's Harry,
and he's cool with being Harry, and that's what I
love about it. You have to embrace. This is him
talking about how big and hair he's been.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Hey, do you call you big yetti?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Though? Big Yetti?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Big Yetti.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
You guys haven't seen the yetti come out. You don't
want to see the yetti.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
When Trav was at Cincinnati, he would play basketball in
the playground quite.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
A bit right down the street from my house. And
anybody wh's.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Ever played pick up basketball, you know there's.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Shirts and skins, shirts and skins. Dog, that's the only
way to separate the teams. Big Jenny's here to play.
I had the big.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Beard, I had the long hair, I had the chest hair,
back hair, arm hair, leg hair.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
It's just the big old yetti out there, man. All
the homies on the corner. We're calling me big yetties.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You know more.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
This has taken in my view to know that Taylor
Swift is with a man that's hairy like that with
a hairy back has taken my view of Taylor.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Swift through the roof. Oh give me, I.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Look at her differently now, there's nothing petty. She likes
a real man. Jess thinks this is she said to
me before, I'm so.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Glad I'm a lesbian.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yes, I said, I've never felt gaya. This is one
of the one of the most discussing things I've ever
seen in my version of my perfect Taylor, who writes
lyrics like these guys only bought this stress so you
could take it off religions in your lips, the altar
is my hips. To think that that is what she
might be writing about does not sit well with me.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I went out with a girl who loved and she
said this, loved dragging her nails through my back hair.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Just no, it's not discussing.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
That's dreading. That's right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Clean up Australia day as you love a hairy man,
Am I right?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
That image? You just made me a bit.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
As I said too, I thought maybe I shouldn't have
said it.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Do you like hair on men? Ash?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Look, my husband is relatively hairy, but it doesn't have
an overly hairy back, I've got to say.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
But he'll like d hair before a triathlon.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, but when he's not running or performing, he's a
hairy guy.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Like you're into it, Yeah, there's a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
It. You love the real man.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
But see Whip, you've gone to another level now, like
to the point where I don't think the your T
shirt doesn't sit on your skin anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Remember Richie Colfer used to work here Fits. His t
shirts were almost spring loaded, like they had suspension because
he had such curly, thick hair shock absorbers.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
If you can braid your back hair you've got you've
got to maintain that.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Richie throw a tennis ball at him and it would
bounce off like it had hit a mini tramp.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
We had a guy at the Swans. He was our
assistant coach, Steve Malack. He was so hairy that we
used to watch him after a shower.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
He would have to use two towels.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
That's actually a bit of an issue.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Fits.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That's an issue for.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Me because the first towel was so saturated and like
you could wring it out, but he'd.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Have to grab up.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And do you know what I'll have?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Because I shower twice a day, right, I get up
in the morning and I have a shower, and then
I have a shower before I go to bed.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
My towel is always wet. Can you imagine drying a
dog every time? So I have to throw that. I need.
I need my shower to have.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Like a giant hair dryer in it so I can
walk in and this huge wind tunnel of warm air
just starts and dries me off.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Doug of a bloke, do you know what Tom does?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
What is.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Tom's? And you've never want to He's looked at.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Me, put his hand up and said, w t F Tom.
Tom uses a herd dryer on his nether what so
Tom will have a shower dry off and then he
thinks he's doing using a bit of frize dismiss up top,
but no, he's on the shortened curly so making sure
the undercarriage is dry.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
You don't use the GHD dowt there not the straight
the good hair day.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Tom, our digital guy, if you're listening, can you please
put up the day that we straightened Tom's hand.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
It was ash.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Have you seen it if you're listening.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
If you've got any shots of Tom's undercarriage with him
using a hair dryer.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We'd love to get that online as well too.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
If you don't have them, just ask one of the
other female employees.
