It is a great Christmas Day, guys. And it's good
to think about what other people are doing on Christmas Day.
Do you know it's a bit of a tradition that
on some families on Christmas Day they do their tax
return online. It's the day that they decide to markus
Tax Day and before lunch, if you haven't done your
tax return online, you're not welcome at family lunch.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Who families?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Just some weird families. Apparently it's becoming a trend. It's
increased forty percent since twenty eleven that it becomes tax
morning on Christmas Day. What a horrible way to start
the day. How about this? Ninety five thousand people will
celebrate Christmas in the air. They will be traveling at
the time of Christmas Morning and they wake up to
(02:20):
a little bit of a service and a small can
of coke and a biscuit and cheese.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
What if it's a good time to fly? If you
get cheaper flights onss.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
It would be cheap.
Speaker 8 (02:27):
It's a great day to fly because the airports are empty, yep,
and everyone's in a good mood, the flight attendants in
a mood. It's a great data flights cheap as.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Okay, a little bit of a quiz for you, now, guys,
what is the number one thing people run to the
shops for on Christmas Morning that they don't have Boxing
Day sales? Who said batteries MDG batteries spot on the
kids gives heay, this one doesn't include batteries. Why wouldn't
you include batteries, you idiot?
Speaker 7 (02:54):
Well, you've got a lot to think about it, you do,
But they really get you, don't they. You've spent all
that money on a gift and then got to buy
twenty bucks worth of.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Battery and they're expensive. Never buy a batteries from the
chemist I did.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
The other day, and never leave them lying on the floor.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No, you shouldn't. What about this? What percentage of people
run out of fuel on Christmas Day? Because it's quite
a big one, we're traveling between houses based on your family,
you might be moving around a little bit and people say, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
How many what percentage of people actually driving?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Or what percentage of give.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's not even real?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
That's good. Okay, have you considered this? I don't believe
that one. No, it's not true. It is How have
you considered this? It is also a very popular day
to get robbed on because people are traveling to other
people's for lunches and you're not home.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Too much and you get burgled.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Don't laugh about it.

That happened to my family one year. Did she went
out on Christmas Eve? You got robbed when we were little?
And then we came home and someone had robbed the house.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That is a home. That is a home and a
waste storyline?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh god, is my real life?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is it your real life?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yes, it's not. The showmate wasn't acting.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Why would I sit here and say this happened to
me one time? But it was a storyline on Home
and Away?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
What about this wrecking the house? When Christmas Day turns wild?
There's one hundred and twenty percent increase for fire claims
from insurance agencies on Christmas Day. That's interesting. What about
this divorce? Tis the season people realize that you don't
(04:45):
spend that much time with your partner, and then eventually
you do over the Christmas in summer period and you
realize you don't want to spend any more time with
that person.

together in those seminal years when we were seventeen and going.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Out of me.
Speaker 11 (11:16):
You might have been there, but the last time I
came in Whipper was you know you were someone like
we're living in a palace in Venice.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, you're in the South.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
We're talking about you.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I see you.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I've been doing radio for nine een years and Maddie,
well when did you start mastership? When when did we
get to.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Know at the same time, and I started about the
same time.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Interviewing you for colas to twenty years.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
You're probably one of the most experienced of life guests
I've ever had in my life. Where you've traveled around
the world, the people that you've met around the world, and.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
The stories that you have.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
You must have so many different groups of friends, Maddie, did.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You ever get you? Did you ever get you?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Did you go travel? And how did you travel? I
painted and decorated houses? A hung paper.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Wow, this is what's it's.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Gig, it's a it's a skill. You've done everything. Where
did you go doing that?
Speaker 11 (12:09):
I'm just just around the suburb I grew up in.
Can I just tell you the one thing you never
want to do is try and hang wall paper behind
a toilet because because when you when you when you
get the steamer out, you have to steam all the
paper behind the toilet.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
There's like one hundred years one.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
Hundred years and missus is soaked into the toilet paper
and when you steam it, everything comes.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Back to your life.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Pay when you talk about jobs that stink. You also
had at one stage a review and a writer on
a show called Home and Away. Yes, I did. You
had to you had to write it, and that wouldn't
have been an easy task to break down the talent
on that show. It was Britain.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
I got paid to watch every single episode of Neighbors
and Home and Away from nineteen ninety three through to
nineteen ninety eight. That's why I'm I'm always slightly in awe.
Now Richie is.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
And that's when we first met, when I knew you
were a TV writer or you know.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Did you interview Coke in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I need to jump in quickly before you. I mean,
I know you know you've written a book and everything,
but it is Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, what do you want to know?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
I just want to know what's what's kind of go
to on the Christmas table?
Speaker 11 (13:26):
Rules Number one rules don't buy a turkey, buy a chicken,
Buy two chickens because turkeys are really hard to cook.
They're really dry and you never cook them. And why
would you try and do something your biggest day of
the year that you've never cooked. Do a couple of
chicken and then have all the trimmings, have the you know,
your sausage wrapped in bacon. If you're a cranberry sauce,
your bread sauce, all that stuff goes with chicken.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
That's Number one. Do that.
Speaker 11 (13:45):
Number two, delegate as much you can. Number three before
the day starts, say you're not cooking. You're not cooking,
so therefore you are doing the washing up and you're
expected to do that at this point, so you're not
carrying everything. And then the other really important thing with
your fridge, go through, through and through anything you haven't
opened in the last six months. That's true because they're
(14:05):
all those chutneys and stuff. You need space in your
fridge for all the stuff you're going to put in there,
and including leftovers.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
So they have their fat four tips. Then they'll make
your Christmas file easy bread and butter.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Big Mouth is out right now. It is a memoir
of Maddie Preston's life. He's been in our lives for
the last twenty years. We love you, Maddie. Thank you
very much for coming in, but I love you.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Thanks Bud, what a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Fizzy and Whipple with Kate Ritchie for Christmas.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Sorry over. We hope you're preparing for the best lunch ever.
You've got the family together. The gifts are being opened.
We're excited. Today's a great day. What I thought would
be interesting to do is to go around a couple
of the other traditions around the world. Guys, if we
go to different countries to see how they do Christmas
a little more differently to us, because different nations celebrate differently.
(14:50):
Kate Ritchie, this is a education program. Yeah, did you
know that there is an actual town called Christmas in
the United States of America. It's a town called Christmas
in Florida, so it's not far from Lando. And the
good thing about living in Christmas is guess how many
days they celebrate Christmas? Three hundred and sixty five? Every
(15:13):
day is Christmas in the township Christmas. Did you be
better over that?
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Isn't that the beauty of Christmas? That the anticipation of
Christmas is almost what makes it amazing? If you had
to celebrate Christmas every day, could take the shine off it.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
There've me some great jaffel places around with left over
Christmas hamn't wouldn't there?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's Christmas ham, but the Christmas ham is fresh three
hundred and sixty five days of the year. What about
this in Japan? I don't know if you know. But
KFC is known for their Christmas lunch. In fact, it
is known as the best Christmas lunch in Japan, so
lots of families as traditions since nineteen seventy four, they
go to KFC for their Christmas lunch.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Well, so if you have if you Datela Zinger over
somebody's head, you have to kiss them and tradition over.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
There, so people wander from table to table dangling zingers.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Well that you can order a two gift feed there,
which is pretty good. Instead of two pieces of chook,
you just get two gifts in there as well, you guys,
cole slaw or potato and gravy cole Slaw without a doubt,
what is costa?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
It's not potato, let's be honest.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Colestlar's cabbage shredded cabbage.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
But it's a shredded cabbage.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
And if you make a good one, you make like
a good Russian sauce with the chopped up cornicians, what
about this?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
On the twenty second of December, in one village in Spain,
they always have a lotto, so you have to go
into the lotto on Christmas. It's the tradition to buy
a ticket the lotto in El gord it's called al Goredor,
which means it translates to the fat one. The prize
last year for Christmas. And imagine your Christmas if you've
(16:59):
won in al gordal was six hundred million pounds. What
so you take out that prize and you celebrate for
the arrest.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
In one town only the amount of people in that town.
Can you live outside El Gordo And.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
The name of the lotto, that's not the town, it's
the fat One. In Switzerland, which is my nationality. There
is a Christmas Grinch who carries the donkey, right he
walks around with a donkey? Are you paying out my heritage?
(17:36):
I'm not sweet to ask you the question where the
name Whippley comes from? Cot Richie. He's not sweets Switzerland,
thank you. It's not Sweden either, which you confused when
you said, is all the chocolate come from Sweden? No? No, no, no, no, well,
because I don't eat chocolate.
Speaker 12 (17:52):
No no.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I told you the story about we had a Christmas
in Switzerland as the family relatives, and I was given
by my grandma a small box that included twelve Mars bars,
which I ate all of on the Christmas morning. So
by the time we got to lunch, not only was
I full, but my whole system was full. And I
(18:14):
spent two hours at an expensive restaurant on the toilet.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Two hours I passed chewing up for twelve Mars bars
and that compacting in the colon.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I'm still recovering.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It was work, rest and vomitating that day.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
One of the great Swiss traditions. For anybody celebrating today,
Merry Christmas, everybody more to come on this Christmas Day special.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's Fitsy and Women with Kate Ritchie for your Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
That really struggling because I haven't been given my gift yet,
and my gift, to be honest, Fitz is speaking to
your mum at this time every.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
She was a bit disappointed the other day when she
heard the Snoop had given up the smoke, But that

family members coming from all around Australia, haven't we we have?
Speaker 14 (20:24):
It's going to be so exciting. And don't forget the
tradition has still got to keep on. What's that We're
first thing in the morning you go down to port
and or Lunger Jetty and you do a jeddy.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That is an actual tradition in the area.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Kate, not just the Fitzgerald family, but everyone important a
longer meets love at the Jeddy. Everyone jumps off the
jetty at the same time on each other. There's quite
a few injuries and stuff. But it's also been a
bit of controversy. Mum in the Chris Fitzgerald Chris Kringle
over the past few years.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Hasn't it there has?
Speaker 11 (20:56):
Do you know?
Speaker 14 (20:57):
A lot to keep it a bit light high? And
last year and this year, I would you believe I
got a beautiful staves about you.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Stop Service is an op shop where Mum grew up
and Kate. She goes in on Tuesdays and she gets
an extra thirty forty percent off, so she's basically day seniors.
It's a senior's Day and then she'll go down to
the market and she'll offload these things.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
She does all right, she does it all on the side.
She does not tax refundable.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
It sounds like a scan. No, it's all right, You're
just so bad, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
With Chris Kringle, and we play the rules of do
you want to actually open a present yourself or do
you can take a present from someone who's already opened one.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Okay, sure right.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
What I've been doing is doing fake boxes, thinking that
people will think it's a it's a frame, a photo
frame that's good. And inside the box, Kate, it's just
full of Haigu's chocolate.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So everyone, I'll go, you know what, I'll take the
picture frame.

field a pine? Yes, Christmas far.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I should play riddles on Christmas Day more often?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
What about this one? The number one?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Team people?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
At the moment, you're doing one really well with team people.
You've got three riddles from the three riddles, And therefore
as a Christmas present to you, I will give you
another riddle. Who was ready? Who? While on my way
to Saint Ives, I saw Santa with seven elves. Each
elf had seven sacks, each sack seven cats. Each cat
(25:01):
had seven kittens. Kittens, cats, sacks and elves? How many
we're going to Saint Ives? Kate Richie?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
One? Who the person that you first open it with?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Spot on? Just one? Four littles from Kat Ritchie. There's
your gift.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It's fitsy and Whipper with Kate Ritchie for your Christmas Day,
on good morning.

On this lovely Christmas morning, Kate Ritchie here with you
on such a special day.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Do you want to open the present I got for you?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Should I can? I can?
Speaker 7 (25:39):
I open it in front of the front of in
front of the group. Do you know what I do
like to do with Christmas gifts? Is what we have
such we have big plans. We do the Sandta presents first,
then we have breakfast, and then we open the rest
of the presents after under the tree. Throughout the course
of the day, we really do kick the fun out
of it house talking of gifts, though, I thought it
(26:02):
was fitting that we talk about some of.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
The worst gifts and maybe you've already.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Received this today or maybe you will receive it this afternoon.
These are the worst holiday gifts, according to one survey.
I think they surveyed like more than six thousand adults.
That's a pretty good size, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Last year Dad gave me COVID, which I didn't really want.
Is that on the list? Weird? It's beautiful?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Did you get COVID at Christmas? Okay? Touch, touch touch.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
My dad gets gout every Christmas.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
It certainly does in January after the first seasons.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Stuff right now. No, it's actually quite painful for it.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Pain they did say, or the people. When I say they,
I mean the people surveyed. There was almost thirty percent
of people that said that the worst gift you can
ever get things that have come from the bargain beat
and I'm guessing so they're discounted, defective.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Far too personal. Try book. Hang on a minute, that's
the perfect.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Christmas Any signed it?
Speaker 4 (27:01):

There are people who are going to be receiving that today.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Absolutely, crickets un tomorrow, mate, We're not ready. What are
you talking about?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Okay, gifts are related to weight loss, including a scale,
a gym membership are the weight loss items.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Also, we're among the tom the top.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Two years ago, Kate. Richie gave me a set of
scales two years ago.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Really, and what have you done with them?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
I've broken.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Then we've got a two year warranty.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Thet you go one at a time, please, very good.
I love Simpsons references. I've actually lightened the load Kate
this year, so I'm going into Christmas a little bit leaner.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Well, what's nice about that is is that you can
indulge today and not feel bad about it.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Let me go through some of the others because we're
having such fun doing that up there on the top
ten list. Okay, we've done the defective items. Fruitcake comes in.
I think, I mean, it's so pretty gift.
Speaker 3 (28:09):

This year, you guys are thankful. I made homemade fruitcakes.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
It's Fitsy and Whipple with Kate Ritchie for your Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
We gathered in here because we want to bring you
a little bit of entertainment. You might be waking up
this morning and we were in the car heading to
a lunch. You might have a long drive ahead of you.
If it's we were talking about Frank sin Archer the
other day and the AI version. You can create any song.
God be thinking about the best Christmas covers of all time.
But this is different in this list, it's the list
(33:29):
that should never have been done. Oh wow, there's one
artist that I've never had a lot of time for.
He sings f you. His name is Celo Green.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
He's a talented man.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
He's snuck in with the humans. This guy. We've got
a bit of Silo Green in the system.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Grateful.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Do you reckon his narles? Barkley, isn't he?
Speaker 8 (33:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Is that completely separate.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Celo or Silo?
Speaker 4 (33:55):
He's carrying wheat? I love Silo? Oh, part of the
Aussie landscape mine. You can paint them these days?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
What's the what's wrong with that boy?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
It's just a terrible song. He's done a version of
All I Want for Christmas? Crimes against music?
Speaker 3 (34:22):
How can a Christmas song?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
You just sometimes do some some Christmas songs are made,
and I think they should do enough testing before they
go to market with them. And I think they do that.
Well that's been tested before and done, all right, No,
it hasn't. New Kids on the block. They did funky,
Funky Christmas. Yes, hey guys, a lot of we're gonna
(34:50):
do a Christmas song?
Speaker 13 (34:52):
Which one?
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Which one was your favorite? At Joey Joe for tone.
Then Weezer came out and did a version of Heart
the Herald Angels scene. Now I like Weezer, but I
just think they needed to do it.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
No, no, this is not one of my favorite Christmas
carols regardless.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
This is what I didn't want to bring in. But kay,
you said, can you please play it?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I haven't seen this.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
I'm not going to do it. You said, I love it.
It's called Backdoor Santa by bon Jovi.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
Is what.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
You give Christmas a bad name.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
They should be. I mean, we all know that Santa
comes down the chimney, not in the back door, but.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
If you don't have a chimney, sometimes he does have
to come in the back door.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Well it depends on that center back door sounded by
bon Joe. We never to be played again on.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
The front door or the windows rounding out.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I know one of my favorite, one of my favorite bands,
Lady Gaga on Maroon five, because when they release Payphone,
I just thought music is climaxed. You're not going to
get better. I've got a bit of payphone in the system. Jess.
It should always be ready, Jess, it's the best song
ever made.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
She's going to Christmas song for.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Terrible because she is.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And then we can't even play that anymore. Most people
listening won't know what a payne is.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Very dated song. They did Happy Christmas Maroon five, This
is Christmas and what have you? A lot of the
you can't top the original cannot John Lennon, I mean
a lot of cards are now driving in a one.

Fitsy and Whipper with Kate Ritchie for your Christmas Day.
Speaker 7 (01:30):
On over, Merry Christmas, everyone, it's fitsy and whipper with
Kate Ritchie.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
It is a great Christmas Day, guys. And it's good
to think about what other people are doing on Christmas Day.
Do you know it's a bit of a tradition that
on some families on Christmas Day they do their tax
return online. It's the day that they decide to markus
Tax Day and before lunch, if you haven't done your
tax return online, you're not welcome at family lunch.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Who families?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Just some weird families. Apparently it's becoming a trend. It's
increased forty percent since twenty eleven that it becomes tax
morning on Christmas Day. What a horrible way to start
the day. How about this? Ninety five thousand people will
celebrate Christmas in the air. They will be traveling at
the time of Christmas Morning and they wake up to
(02:20):
a little bit of a service and a small can
of coke and a biscuit and cheese.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
What if it's a good time to fly? If you
get cheaper flights onss.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
It would be cheap.
Speaker 8 (02:27):
It's a great day to fly because the airports are empty, yep,
and everyone's in a good mood, the flight attendants in
a mood. It's a great data flights cheap as.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Okay, a little bit of a quiz for you, now, guys,
what is the number one thing people run to the
shops for on Christmas Morning that they don't have Boxing
Day sales? Who said batteries MDG batteries spot on the
kids gives heay, this one doesn't include batteries. Why wouldn't
you include batteries, you idiot?
Speaker 7 (02:54):
Well, you've got a lot to think about it, you do,
But they really get you, don't they. You've spent all
that money on a gift and then got to buy
twenty bucks worth of.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
Battery and they're expensive. Never buy a batteries from the
chemist I did.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
The other day, and never leave them lying on the floor.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No, you shouldn't. What about this? What percentage of people
run out of fuel on Christmas Day? Because it's quite
a big one, we're traveling between houses based on your family,
you might be moving around a little bit and people say, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
How many what percentage of people actually driving?
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Or what percentage of give.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's not even real?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
That's good. Okay, have you considered this? I don't believe
that one. No, it's not true. It is How have
you considered this? It is also a very popular day
to get robbed on because people are traveling to other
people's for lunches and you're not home.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Too much and you get burgled.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Don't laugh about it.
Speaker 7 (04:00):
That happened to my family one year. Did she went
out on Christmas Eve? You got robbed when we were little?
And then we came home and someone had robbed the house.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
That is a home. That is a home and a
waste storyline?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Right?
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Oh god, is my real life?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Is it your real life?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yes, it's not. The showmate wasn't acting.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Why would I sit here and say this happened to
me one time? But it was a storyline on Home
and Away?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
What about this wrecking the house? When Christmas Day turns wild?
There's one hundred and twenty percent increase for fire claims
from insurance agencies on Christmas Day. That's interesting. What about
this divorce? Tis the season people realize that you don't
(04:45):
spend that much time with your partner, and then eventually
you do over the Christmas in summer period and you
realize you don't want to spend any more time with
that person.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Well, that is really popular, and Maya will wrap that
for you if you ask for.

This is exciting. We've got a man here who we

I'm just going through it now and at the end

So we go to look just to see.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
How many on the list there is our name. Damn it.
We don't get a mention. It's Matt questions.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
It is amazing how many people I know. The first thing,
they're real thinkledgement and everywhere. I got fine there and
I go, well, you're not my mom. You know you
and my mom we shared a house together, we lived
together in those seminal years when we were seventeen and going.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Out of me.
Speaker 11 (11:16):
You might have been there, but the last time I
came in Whipper was you know you were someone like
we're living in a palace in Venice.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, you're in the South.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
We're talking about you.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I see you.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
I've been doing radio for nine een years and Maddie,
well when did you start mastership? When when did we
get to.
Speaker 11 (11:34):
Know at the same time, and I started about the
same time.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Interviewing you for colas to twenty years.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
You're probably one of the most experienced of life guests
I've ever had in my life. Where you've traveled around
the world, the people that you've met around the world, and.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
The stories that you have.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
You must have so many different groups of friends, Maddie, did.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You ever get you? Did you ever get you?
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Did you go travel? And how did you travel? I
painted and decorated houses? A hung paper.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Wow, this is what's it's.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Gig, it's a it's a skill. You've done everything. Where
did you go doing that?
Speaker 11 (12:09):
I'm just just around the suburb I grew up in.
Can I just tell you the one thing you never
want to do is try and hang wall paper behind
a toilet because because when you when you when you
get the steamer out, you have to steam all the
paper behind the toilet.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
There's like one hundred years one.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
Hundred years and missus is soaked into the toilet paper
and when you steam it, everything comes.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Back to your life.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Pay when you talk about jobs that stink. You also
had at one stage a review and a writer on
a show called Home and Away. Yes, I did. You
had to you had to write it, and that wouldn't
have been an easy task to break down the talent
on that show. It was Britain.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
I got paid to watch every single episode of Neighbors
and Home and Away from nineteen ninety three through to
nineteen ninety eight. That's why I'm I'm always slightly in awe.
Now Richie is.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
And that's when we first met, when I knew you
were a TV writer or you know.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Did you interview Coke in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
I need to jump in quickly before you. I mean,
I know you know you've written a book and everything,
but it is Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, what do you want to know?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
I just want to know what's what's kind of go
to on the Christmas table?
Speaker 11 (13:26):
Rules Number one rules don't buy a turkey, buy a chicken,
Buy two chickens because turkeys are really hard to cook.
They're really dry and you never cook them. And why
would you try and do something your biggest day of
the year that you've never cooked. Do a couple of
chicken and then have all the trimmings, have the you know,
your sausage wrapped in bacon. If you're a cranberry sauce,
your bread sauce, all that stuff goes with chicken.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
That's Number one. Do that.
Speaker 11 (13:45):
Number two, delegate as much you can. Number three before
the day starts, say you're not cooking. You're not cooking,
so therefore you are doing the washing up and you're
expected to do that at this point, so you're not
carrying everything. And then the other really important thing with
your fridge, go through, through and through anything you haven't
opened in the last six months. That's true because they're
(14:05):
all those chutneys and stuff. You need space in your
fridge for all the stuff you're going to put in there,
and including leftovers.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
So they have their fat four tips. Then they'll make
your Christmas file easy bread and butter.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Big Mouth is out right now. It is a memoir
of Maddie Preston's life. He's been in our lives for
the last twenty years. We love you, Maddie. Thank you
very much for coming in, but I love you.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Thanks Bud, what a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Fizzy and Whipple with Kate Ritchie for Christmas.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Sorry over. We hope you're preparing for the best lunch ever.
You've got the family together. The gifts are being opened.
We're excited. Today's a great day. What I thought would
be interesting to do is to go around a couple
of the other traditions around the world. Guys, if we
go to different countries to see how they do Christmas
a little more differently to us, because different nations celebrate differently.
(14:50):
Kate Ritchie, this is a education program. Yeah, did you
know that there is an actual town called Christmas in
the United States of America. It's a town called Christmas
in Florida, so it's not far from Lando. And the
good thing about living in Christmas is guess how many
days they celebrate Christmas? Three hundred and sixty five? Every
(15:13):
day is Christmas in the township Christmas. Did you be
better over that?
Speaker 7 (15:19):
Isn't that the beauty of Christmas? That the anticipation of
Christmas is almost what makes it amazing? If you had
to celebrate Christmas every day, could take the shine off it.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
There've me some great jaffel places around with left over
Christmas hamn't wouldn't there?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
It's Christmas ham, but the Christmas ham is fresh three
hundred and sixty five days of the year. What about
this in Japan? I don't know if you know. But
KFC is known for their Christmas lunch. In fact, it
is known as the best Christmas lunch in Japan, so
lots of families as traditions since nineteen seventy four, they
go to KFC for their Christmas lunch.
Speaker 5 (15:57):
Well, so if you have if you Datela Zinger over
somebody's head, you have to kiss them and tradition over.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
There, so people wander from table to table dangling zingers.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Well that you can order a two gift feed there,
which is pretty good. Instead of two pieces of chook,
you just get two gifts in there as well, you guys,
cole slaw or potato and gravy cole Slaw without a doubt,
what is costa?
Speaker 3 (16:24):
It's not potato, let's be honest.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Colestlar's cabbage shredded cabbage.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
But it's a shredded cabbage.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
And if you make a good one, you make like
a good Russian sauce with the chopped up cornicians, what
about this?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
On the twenty second of December, in one village in Spain,
they always have a lotto, so you have to go
into the lotto on Christmas. It's the tradition to buy
a ticket the lotto in El gord it's called al Goredor,
which means it translates to the fat one. The prize
last year for Christmas. And imagine your Christmas if you've
(16:59):
won in al gordal was six hundred million pounds. What
so you take out that prize and you celebrate for
the arrest.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
In one town only the amount of people in that town.
Can you live outside El Gordo And.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
The name of the lotto, that's not the town, it's
the fat One. In Switzerland, which is my nationality. There
is a Christmas Grinch who carries the donkey, right he
walks around with a donkey? Are you paying out my heritage?
(17:36):
I'm not sweet to ask you the question where the
name Whippley comes from? Cot Richie. He's not sweets Switzerland,
thank you. It's not Sweden either, which you confused when
you said, is all the chocolate come from Sweden? No? No, no, no, no, well,
because I don't eat chocolate.
Speaker 12 (17:52):
No no.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I told you the story about we had a Christmas
in Switzerland as the family relatives, and I was given
by my grandma a small box that included twelve Mars bars,
which I ate all of on the Christmas morning. So
by the time we got to lunch, not only was
I full, but my whole system was full. And I
(18:14):
spent two hours at an expensive restaurant on the toilet.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
Two hours I passed chewing up for twelve Mars bars
and that compacting in the colon.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
I'm still recovering.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
It was work, rest and vomitating that day.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
One of the great Swiss traditions. For anybody celebrating today,
Merry Christmas, everybody more to come on this Christmas Day special.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's Fitsy and Women with Kate Ritchie for your Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (18:47):

Speaker 14 (20:24):
It's going to be so exciting. And don't forget the
tradition has still got to keep on. What's that We're
first thing in the morning you go down to port
and or Lunger Jetty and you do a jeddy.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That is an actual tradition in the area.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Kate, not just the Fitzgerald family, but everyone important a
longer meets love at the Jeddy. Everyone jumps off the
jetty at the same time on each other. There's quite
a few injuries and stuff. But it's also been a
bit of controversy. Mum in the Chris Fitzgerald Chris Kringle
over the past few years.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Hasn't it there has?
Speaker 11 (20:56):
Do you know?
Speaker 14 (20:57):
A lot to keep it a bit light high? And
last year and this year, I would you believe I
got a beautiful staves about you.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Stop Service is an op shop where Mum grew up
and Kate. She goes in on Tuesdays and she gets
an extra thirty forty percent off, so she's basically day seniors.
It's a senior's Day and then she'll go down to
the market and she'll offload these things.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
She does all right, she does it all on the side.
She does not tax refundable.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
It sounds like a scan. No, it's all right, You're
just so bad, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:37):
With Chris Kringle, and we play the rules of do
you want to actually open a present yourself or do
you can take a present from someone who's already opened one.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Okay, sure right.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
What I've been doing is doing fake boxes, thinking that
people will think it's a it's a frame, a photo
frame that's good. And inside the box, Kate, it's just
full of Haigu's chocolate.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So everyone, I'll go, you know what, I'll take the
picture frame.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
If you guys don't want that, I'll take a picture
from at the end of Chris Kringle. I'll open it
up and there's a heap of schoolch diarmonds and speckles.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You really got them, guys?
Speaker 6 (22:16):

What about last year? Ryan had one kid which was
a selfie stick and guess who got that? Nick was
a golf club or something.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Idea. If you're going around for lunch at Ryan's, do
you expect him to supply all the goods for the
day or do you have to bring your own se
agnes Brandy.

What cannot sow but has hundreds of needles? So a
field a pine? Yes, Christmas far.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I should play riddles on Christmas Day more often?
Speaker 4 (24:37):
What about this one? The number one?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Team people?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
At the moment, you're doing one really well with team people.
You've got three riddles from the three riddles, And therefore
as a Christmas present to you, I will give you
another riddle. Who was ready? Who? While on my way
to Saint Ives, I saw Santa with seven elves. Each
elf had seven sacks, each sack seven cats. Each cat
(25:01):
had seven kittens. Kittens, cats, sacks and elves? How many
we're going to Saint Ives? Kate Richie?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
One? Who the person that you first open it with?
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Spot on? Just one? Four littles from Kat Ritchie. There's
your gift.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
It's fitsy and Whipper with Kate Ritchie for your Christmas Day,

on such a special day.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Do you want to open the present I got for you?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Should I can? I can?
Speaker 7 (25:39):
I open it in front of the front of in
front of the group. Do you know what I do
like to do with Christmas gifts? Is what we have
such we have big plans. We do the Sandta presents first,
then we have breakfast, and then we open the rest
of the presents after under the tree. Throughout the course
of the day, we really do kick the fun out
of it house talking of gifts, though, I thought it
(26:02):
was fitting that we talk about some of.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
The worst gifts and maybe you've already.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
Received this today or maybe you will receive it this afternoon.
These are the worst holiday gifts, according to one survey.
I think they surveyed like more than six thousand adults.
That's a pretty good size, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Last year Dad gave me COVID, which I didn't really want.
Is that on the list? Weird? It's beautiful?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Did you get COVID at Christmas? Okay? Touch, touch touch.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
My dad gets gout every Christmas.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
It certainly does in January after the first seasons.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Stuff right now. No, it's actually quite painful for it.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Pain they did say, or the people. When I say they,
I mean the people surveyed. There was almost thirty percent
of people that said that the worst gift you can
ever get things that have come from the bargain beat
and I'm guessing so they're discounted, defective.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Far too personal. Try book. Hang on a minute, that's
the perfect.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Christmas Any signed it?
Speaker 4 (27:01):

Two years ago, Kate. Richie gave me a set of
scales two years ago.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Really, and what have you done with them?
Speaker 4 (27:35):
I've broken.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Then we've got a two year warranty.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Thet you go one at a time, please, very good.
I love Simpsons references. I've actually lightened the load Kate
this year, so I'm going into Christmas a little bit leaner.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Well, what's nice about that is is that you can
indulge today and not feel bad about it.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
Let me go through some of the others because we're
having such fun doing that up there on the top
ten list. Okay, we've done the defective items. Fruitcake comes in.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Speaking of Christmas, poot, it's a little bit hectic.

Whipsley household.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Would you believe who's from?
Speaker 4 (30:31):

Speaker 6 (30:32):
The grinch behavior has come from Michael Whitbley and Louise Whippley.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Oh this is I love the sibling rivalry here. What
have they done doing, Kate?
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Well, what's happened is they've decideds that they won't be
doing gifts for the children this year. For my children.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Ah, well, now I've.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Only just had children, so I've been buying them gifts
for years, for years upon years. The minute I pop
a few out, They're done with it.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
What are you buying? Then?
Speaker 11 (31:00):
So?
Speaker 2 (31:01):
What does everyone get for the kids?
Speaker 6 (31:03):
Anything here?
Speaker 7 (31:05):
These two siblings have they backed out?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You're the gift going?
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Well, I'll tell you what I can recycle some of
the stuff you've given me over the years.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
It hand me down, your hand me down garbage bag
for old clothes.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
I've already given Kate something for Christmas because I went
and did the six week fitness challenge where I lost
six kilos. I've now put Kate onto that six week challenge.
Drum roll, Jess, how much weight have you lost in
the six week program?
Speaker 6 (31:35):
I would say I haven't put weight on? Say I
am not happy about it.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Have you gifted him the six kilos back that he's
put on a week later?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Though?
Speaker 6 (31:47):
Well? I did have a question around that. Have you
maintained it? Has it stayed off?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
If you're here to make an Ozanbic joke like everybody else, No, I.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Have you now because you're you're close to ninety five?
Speaker 4 (32:00):

of that though, Michael Whisley growing up you need to
always tell me about my mista.

Well, there's two Kates I'm looking at with a fairy
top lip.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Kate, can you send our love to the Whitfley family

Speaker 6 (32:47):
You gotta be a real hoot. I think John will

Speaker 6 (32:53):

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
It's Fitsy and Whipple with Kate Ritchie for your Christmas Day.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
We gathered in here because we want to bring you
a little bit of entertainment. You might be waking up
this morning and we were in the car heading to
a lunch. You might have a long drive ahead of you.
If it's we were talking about Frank sin Archer the
other day and the AI version. You can create any song.
God be thinking about the best Christmas covers of all time.
But this is different in this list, it's the list
(33:29):
that should never have been done. Oh wow, there's one
artist that I've never had a lot of time for.
He sings f you. His name is Celo Green.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
He's a talented man.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
He's snuck in with the humans. This guy. We've got
a bit of Silo Green in the system.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Grateful.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Do you reckon his narles? Barkley, isn't he?
Speaker 8 (33:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Is that completely separate.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Celo or Silo?
Speaker 4 (33:55):
He's carrying wheat? I love Silo? Oh, part of the
Aussie landscape mine. You can paint them these days?
Speaker 2 (34:03):
What's the what's wrong with that boy?
Speaker 4 (34:05):
It's just a terrible song. He's done a version of
All I Want for Christmas? Crimes against music?
Speaker 3 (34:22):
How can a Christmas song?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
You just sometimes do some some Christmas songs are made,
and I think they should do enough testing before they
go to market with them. And I think they do that.
Well that's been tested before and done, all right, No,
it hasn't. New Kids on the block. They did funky,
Funky Christmas. Yes, hey guys, a lot of we're gonna
(34:50):
do a Christmas song?
Speaker 13 (34:52):
Which one?
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Which one was your favorite? At Joey Joe for tone.
Then Weezer came out and did a version of Heart
the Herald Angels scene. Now I like Weezer, but I
just think they needed to do it.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
No, no, this is not one of my favorite Christmas
carols regardless.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
This is what I didn't want to bring in. But kay,
you said, can you please play it?
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I haven't seen this.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
I'm not going to do it. You said, I love it.
It's called Backdoor Santa by bon Jovi.
Speaker 9 (35:36):
Is what.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
You give Christmas a bad name.
Speaker 4 (35:51):
They should be. I mean, we all know that Santa
comes down the chimney, not in the back door, but.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
If you don't have a chimney, sometimes he does have
to come in the back door.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Well it depends on that center back door sounded by
bon Joe. We never to be played again on.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
The front door or the windows rounding out.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
I know one of my favorite, one of my favorite bands,
Lady Gaga on Maroon five, because when they release Payphone,
I just thought music is climaxed. You're not going to
get better. I've got a bit of payphone in the system. Jess.
It should always be ready, Jess, it's the best song
ever made.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
She's going to Christmas song for.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Terrible because she is.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And then we can't even play that anymore. Most people
listening won't know what a payne is.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
Very dated song. They did Happy Christmas Maroon five, This
is Christmas and what have you? A lot of the
you can't top the original cannot John Lennon, I mean
a lot of cards are now driving in a one.
(37:02):
Do you want to get back to Backdoor to Santa?
Do you want to get back to bon Jovis? We
round out as the number one Christmas song for this year.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
There is guy.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Here that's a Christmas press thrown me saying.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
