Speaker 1 (00:02):
And with CAP podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome to the podcast. Interesting discussion today.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
I mean, there's not a lot of fun or funny
in the term death, but.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I think I found some. I've bet a bit of
a look through it. We've got a bit of an
issue that's forming.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
It's died people, but the problem is they're getting bigger
and bigger's dying.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Sorry about that. That's tom Tommy. Everything alright in the
guts look a little bit old brand.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I don't know what it was, dead rat, but I
feel like the prawns from Christmas might be repeating on me.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Right Christmas as in what twelve months ago? Twelve months? Yeah, yeah,
still coming back.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
So I've got some pink chicken for lunch.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
All right this time tomorrow. How Tommy's guts are. Outside
of that, there's some other things that have died. You
hear it on the podcast This is the Fitz.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
And Whipper with Cape Richie podcast.

Speaker 6 (00:56):
Simon cal has a brand new show, The Trailers, has
just dropped on Netflix. I'm not sure if you've seen it.
It's been described as messy.

Speaker 7 (01:06):
I think it's the worst.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
He's looking for.

Speaker 8 (01:08):
A new band, isn't he. He's gone off the raid
a bit radar, a bit Simon cow.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
I mean he doesn't. He's set himself up for life, Kate.
He's a multi millionaire.

Speaker 7 (01:18):
And he still runs.

Speaker 6 (01:19):
Of course, Britain's got talent and it owns that entire franchise.
Let's have a little bit of a listen to that trailer.

Speaker 9 (01:25):
As much as I love my job on TV, I
miss where I started a signing artist and working bit bands.
I am going to find a new boy band. Sixteen
boys are coming to Miami, so sick. You're going to
spend a week with my team.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
This time it's going to be different.

Speaker 10 (01:44):
Messy, raw.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
You need a hell of a lot of work. He
is going to be chaos. I'll never be more ready
for anything like this ever again.

Speaker 7 (01:53):
Okay, oh my goodness. It's called The Next Act. It
starts in December or something like that.

Speaker 11 (01:59):
Of course.

Speaker 8 (02:00):
Yes, it was a period, you know, and the musical
when you look back at history, right, it was that
was the period where we were looking for boy bands.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
I don't think so that's over.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
I don't know if it is. Yeah, maybe we're not looking.
Maybe we need one.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
No, no, we need more. We need more guitar bands.

Speaker 8 (02:24):
That's what we need and we've got some amazing ones
out there now, but that was just a moment in
time when it was the reality television and intelligion.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Now we've seen it all before. It's all the same.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
I mean, it's not going to work because I mean,
if you go back, you had n Sync and Boyzone and.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
All those right around.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, no, you had them, then there was probably a
ten fifteen year break and then you had one D
come in at the moment. K pop and groups like
that are massive, So we know that groups like that
are successful.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
Yeah, and I'm happy to I mean, look, god forbid,
I don't worry you want to need boy band? No,
I don't want to upset any pop all right, because
they're all amazing, But I'd be happy to see another
one direction. I agree though, FITZI. It's nice to have
a variation, and it'd be nice to hear some guitar.

(03:13):
And I mean, really, as long as it's not Ai
singing the songs, I think you should a been quite happy.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Well, how long has it been since one deformed? Like?
When was that ten years? Is it?

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Ten years? Fifteen years, ten eleven?

Speaker 6 (03:27):
It says that because of course Simon cal anything that
he does now is going to be asked about leaving
Payne passing, and he he said that he had seen
Liam about twelve months before he did pass that he
was talking about being a dad.

Speaker 7 (03:45):
But he also did say.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
There was a lot of criticism around perhaps he was
somehow to blame, and he said, you know, you can't
be blamed for the actions of someone that you met
ten years before. So that's the only reason why I'm
thinking it's it's ten years fits. He also he did
an interview with Rolling Stone and he was asked about

(04:08):
Bob Dylan. He's not a fan of Bob Dylan. He
don't think he doesn't think that Bob Dylan would ever
make it through the interview process.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Let's have a listen to Bob.

Speaker 9 (04:16):
Everything was based on, at the end of the day,
what the public wanted. But when I heard Bob Dylan's
version of the Adele song, what was it? Yeah, I
think if he'd walked in and sang that version, I'm
not gonna lie, I would have gone forget it. I
mean seriously, because I didn't know he wrote the song,
and when I heard his version, I'm like, WHOA. I

(04:37):
just don't think that would have been a great audition.
I'm not a fan of Bob Dylan, but if people
like him, then they like him.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Maybe it's a new girl group.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
Maybe it's time for Yeah, you know.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
I just know.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
I don't know what I was going to say that,
something about Simon Cowe not hearing.

Speaker 7 (04:55):
From Simon cow anymore.

Speaker 6 (04:58):
Maybe, Look, I mean and the way we were dancing
around the studio to pussy Cat like, I mean, get
that together, girls please love that.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
What about a supergroup?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
So you could take all the key singers from girl
groups and put them into one group.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
What are their names?

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I don't know. Nicole.

Speaker 9 (05:16):
This is the Fitzi and Wibber with Cape Ritchie podcast.

Speaker 8 (05:20):
You know one person that wasn't getting into Nicole Scherzinger.

was performing at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.

Speaker 5 (05:32):

Speaker 1 (08:45):
This is the fitting and with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
A bit of an issue coming out of the UK
and could possibly spread to hear obesity. All right, let's
talk about it, guys. There's Karen some extra kilos heading.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
In the summer.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
It's become such an issue in the UK fits that
the funeral industry is suffering.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
It's coffins they can't get. Well, the coffins aren't big enough.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Coffin coffins used to come and I know nothing about coffins.
Haven't died for ages now. But coffins used to come
with the standard size eight in inches.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Now they're making them up the twenty eight inches wide.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Because they've had in the UK, there's so many obese
and morbidly obese people. Here's the issue though, those that
elect to be cremated, they can't get them. They can't
get the coffins into the furnace because they just don't
fit through the front window.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
Do they put the coffin into the furnace, Yeah, the
whole thing goes in. I thought it was just the body.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
No, they don't get it out. You just put the
whole coffin straight in. The coffin often sits like the
exterior of the coffin is different to the interior, so
you can lift it out out of the actual wooden.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Box that you see.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Gotcha, it's just an MDF liner inside the actual nice
timbered coffin with the brass handles that doesn't actually get burnt.

Speaker 8 (10:12):
The coffin industry must be like booming. It must be
booming because I mean, you never go you always need
a coffin. This is the thing unless we go in
a different traditional way of saying goodbye.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
To our loved ones.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Funeral industry.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
Does anyone know a brand of a coffin?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
No?

Speaker 5 (10:31):
No, No, this is a this is a funny thing.

Speaker 8 (10:34):
No, there's no specific brand for a coffin. You would
have thought that there would have been one.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
I mean, you see the biky ones where it's just gold.
How good are those coffins. Look, I want one of
those times. I need to get it.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I need to get into the common cheros or something.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
There's also a big rise in Sydney of people shooting
the ashes out of we spot.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
To that guy, it's almost you put them into fireworks.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
It's not a bad idea.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
And the guy who did it, I think he told
us that he made one as a bit of a
joke and then put it on the internet and it
went through the roof.

Speaker 8 (11:09):
Pardon the one I really love the one where you
can you can you can make a kitchen appliance with
some of the ashes of a loved one.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
What do you like a slow cooker?

Speaker 5 (11:21):
Yeah, you know, it's so like you can have a kettle.

Speaker 8 (11:23):
So you know, to remember Grandma and she loved a
cup of tea Dawn's. They will make you a kettle
with a bit of NaN's ashes in there. So every
time you pull yourself a green tea, you think of Nan.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
That's a great idea.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
What's that human ashes being It's a bit more, but
human ashes being turned into vinyl records.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Now what about the guy that mixed the ashes with
the ink and then used an old school calligraphy pen
and wrote.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
Or tattoo. You could tattoo yourself.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
Put the ashes into the into the into the ink,
tattoo a love onto your body. Or you could be
Keith Richards from Rolling Stones and you could snort.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Your father's ashes. That was a big night for Keith.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
After that, Dad had me up till three am. It
was going all night long. Dad said he was going
out with a bang, but I didn't know how to
blow him out off.

Speaker 9 (21:01):
This is the FITZI and Whipper with Cape Richie podcast.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
Oh my god, you want to talk about beautiful Jones
just strolled through the door here.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
Do you know what I need? You know what I
need in my life? I need an adrenaline fuel power.

Speaker 8 (21:16):
Trip across the waters of the South Pacific, And tomorrow
night on Channel nine you'll get to see that with
Top Knots and.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
This man on the water.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Top off God.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
To watch your bomb.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
Yeah, I'm just watching a promo and I can see
someone's bottom, but I don't want to look too hard
to try and work out which bottom of it.

Speaker 10 (21:35):
Or how that made it In there. There is a
little bit of new gd but but action going on.

Speaker 15 (21:41):
That was supposed to be just for the crew to
make them giggle, okay, but somehow it's now the actual
advertising campaign for the entire TV show Top.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Your bum cells? Can you explain to me what the
hell is going on? Oh my god, I just paused it.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Oh my god.

Speaker 6 (21:56):
I I'd take that as a compliment.

Speaker 10 (22:01):
Well, I didn't obviously tan prior to this.

Speaker 15 (22:03):
And the one thing you'll notice about me and my girls,
they make fun of this every single morning when I
get out of the shower, I have no butt.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Okay, that's note.

Speaker 7 (22:11):
Have you got a dad a flat dad butt?

Speaker 15 (22:13):
Yeah, let's just go straight from lower back to upper fine.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
It's white.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
That could happen. Yeah, what's going on here? And who's involved?

Speaker 11 (22:23):
Mate?

Speaker 10 (22:23):
This is you know what it is. It's top gear
on the water.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Awesome?

Speaker 15 (22:27):
Oh great, So forget cars. It's about marine leisure activities.
Some of the most exotic locations around the planet. We
go there and not just see beautiful locations, but we
do stupidly ludicrous things when we get there.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
It's wild.

Speaker 15 (22:40):
You got Williams in there, You've got Rob Palmer in there.
You've got Miguel Maestra. You've got a professional big waves surfer,
Felicity Parma teer who serves thirty foot waves, and then
you got me.

Speaker 8 (22:53):
I love this stuff, love it. Can you give us
some examples? Where do you go around the world and
what do you do? What are some of the challenges.

Speaker 15 (23:00):
I'll give you an idea, and I can't I can
barely swim and nearly drowned about one hundred times of
this stupid show. But then we none of us have
diving licenses, right, so we thought we're going to go
to the many great reefs of the world. Guys go
get to diving licenses. They go, okay, they go get
their diving license. The first test I take them to
Fiji and they're like, oh, where's the coral? I said,
they just pop in here and it was a place

(23:21):
called the Bullpit. And when you go down there is
thirty bull sharks. You're just kidding there waiting.

Speaker 10 (23:27):
For you, you know, the ones that rip off your.

Speaker 7 (23:30):
Yeah in the Brisbane River.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
But they're quite calm. It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 8 (23:36):
I've done that before, Grant and it is an amazing experience.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
They're a beautiful creature.

Speaker 10 (23:41):
It's weird, like sharks.

Speaker 15 (23:43):
There's something in our programming where you go, this is
may something you see a snake. There's something that's ancient
in your DNA that awakens that terrifies you. But you're
right when you're underwater. I've done this with great white sharks. Like,
it's weird how tranquil it becomes when you know that
they're not going to rip your limbs off.

Speaker 10 (24:00):
There's someone behind you with a stick just in case.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you always know there's some I'm
glad this is involved because this looks like a footy trip. Mate.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
This idea was to get a group of guys and
one girl together and just go around the world playing
with expensive toys.

Speaker 15 (24:18):
So I've never laughed so much in my life of yournes.
This is this show is it's so ludicrous, Like you know,
you know, I like speed.

Speaker 10 (24:24):
I race cars, So they go, they go.

Speaker 15 (24:27):
There's an offshore racing powerboat over there with two thousand horsepowers.
You want to have a drive, So I go and
have a drive two hundred and sixty kilometers an hour
on the water.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
You're kidding, but let's level it up.

Speaker 7 (24:37):
Let's leave it up.

Speaker 15 (24:38):
We go, okay, how about we set the Guinness World
record for the fastest biscuit ride, you know, the you
know ski to our biscuit.

Speaker 10 (24:45):
We put Rob Palmer on there.

Speaker 15 (24:47):
A little bit of an accidental breakdown in communications. He
does one hundred and fifty kilometers an hour on the biscuit.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
No he doesn't, Yeah, he's every sure.

Speaker 6 (24:58):
No, I'm just feeling if I was your partner or
your child. Don't be thinking Dad might not come back.
There's a high chance at that.

Speaker 15 (25:05):
Every time we go to seven countries, we did sixty
stories and yeah.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
I thought I was going to die many time.

Speaker 15 (25:10):
You should see two thousand horsepower nearly rip his head
off when like the rooster spray from a like from
an offshore powder.

Speaker 10 (25:18):
Yeah, with none of us planned for.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
That, so I can't wait.

Speaker 8 (25:20):
The difference between driving in a car on a road
and on the water, is there a bit of a difference,
Like do you have to change things up twet?

Speaker 10 (25:28):
Yeah, it's we wheels. I suppose there's no wheel wheel.

Speaker 13 (25:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (25:33):
In a car, if it breaks down, you sort of
just pull over to the side of a track. But
if a boat sort of breaks down or cracks, you sink. Yeah,
and you can drought like you he's had underwater escape
patches upside down and like how often you have to
use that? And they're like, oh a lot because often
that these speeds, it just takes off like an aeroplane. Yeah,
it'll do three or four cartwheels in the air land

(25:55):
upside down on the water, just use the hatch to
escape before the cabin fills with water and you drowned.

Speaker 10 (26:00):
That was the briefing.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
I can see series two coming into play pretty quickly.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
Here has that been spoken about yet before series one launchers?

Speaker 15 (26:08):
Yeah, we just bought a boat to do the Sydney
to Hobart in Are you for three hundred dollars off
Facebook marketplace?

Speaker 2 (26:17):
This? This is a really good idea. Would you do
a show like this?

Speaker 7 (26:23):
Do you know what? Heading into the jungle has never
looked so good?

Speaker 5 (26:27):
People have died.

Speaker 15 (26:29):
Grant, don't do it, brother, Yeah, it is one of
the world's most dangerous option races.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yep, but great viewing.

Speaker 15 (26:38):
Oh sprat, How would the Champagne feel when you stray
each other at the other and when you do make it,
when there's about three meal before it completely submerges the
boat and we all go under in battles?

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Spent more money on the Champagne than the boat.

Speaker 13 (26:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (26:51):
And I think there's more great Whites per capita just
sort of between Victoria and Tasmania than there are anywhere
else in.

Speaker 10 (26:57):
The world, which sort of you know, it adds to
the jeopardy of the.

Speaker 7 (27:00):
Just have a nice Christmas with the family, you.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Know, one show that I do you know what?

Speaker 3 (27:04):
One show that I really did love is when you
and Grant worked together.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Do you remember that a.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
Few times on Carols in the Domain we hosted Carols
in the Domain.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
So you'd never mentioned it because the combination was just
so special.

Speaker 6 (27:18):
Now, Grant, I just want to confirm that you've called
Santa to make sure he's going to be here tonight.

Speaker 10 (27:23):
I've been very busy, Grant.

Speaker 6 (27:26):
Santa hasn't missed the Carols in twenty four years, but
you do have to call him and remind him well.

Speaker 8 (27:31):
Fortunately, as host of the Carols, I do have.

Speaker 10 (27:34):
The number to his hotline, so thanks thanks to tell
Us for nexteen network, and I think we've got the
phone here.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
I won't see if I get hold of him.

Speaker 7 (27:41):
Ready, Oh my god, look at us up?

Speaker 12 (27:43):
Baby?

Speaker 7 (27:45):
Look who's that young look in school?

Speaker 15 (27:49):
I looked that the work experienced kid who stepped in
to just see if the lightings are okay for the
actual presenter who hosts later on.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
How good is that?

Speaker 10 (27:56):
I love that that dress is so loosy?

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Do you know I was joking when I said hosting
Carol's in the Domain, because I thought you were going
to play more ful footage of me singing on it
takes two again.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Asked, is that in the system general as she does?

Speaker 11 (28:24):
Still you think you've done some dangerous stunts over.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
I can see what happens.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
Best Lives Top Knocks premieres kids tomorrow night eight thirty
on Channel nine and nine.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Now check it out, Grant love you buddy, Thanks for
coming in. It's the scene. I'm not a doctor.

Speaker 10 (28:51):
It's really impressive.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
This is the Fitty and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
Media Watch picked this up Monday night. And we haven't
been on media Watch for a while time. We should
we try.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Yeah, you guys have got to rig another competition or
something to really sort of hammer at home there.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
They picked this up.

Speaker 8 (29:12):
This is ABC radio presenter James Finlay and you look.
Don't get me wrong. We all make mistakes. I understand that,
but poor James. He was announcing the death of a
radio legend.

Speaker 12 (29:28):
And broadcaster Alan Jones has died at the age of ninety.
The man nicknamed the Golden Tonsils Sorry Gosh joined dump
broadcaster Alan broadcaster John Laws has died at the age
of ninety.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Is that legitimate?

Speaker 5 (29:47):
We've all done it. I mean, we've all made mistakes.

Speaker 8 (29:51):
I mean The biggest one we always we remember was
Dicky with Jeff Goldbler.

Speaker 15 (29:57):
Jeff Goldbloom fell from a cliff to his death while
filming in New Zealand.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
No, he didn't know you're there, mate.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
To go into the specifics as well, that's what I
love about it. I mean, you probably could have just
said has passed away, Jeff Goblin has passed away.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
But to fall from a Cleffland.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Wearing a red T shirt, Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
And that has brought Dickey and Jeff Goldblue Beven closer together,
which I love.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
Richard Wilkins for anyone out there, right, Yeah, he's one
of the if being in the industry. And you know what,
when we first started our careers, we got stuck in
the Dickie right because he's an He was easy fodder.
He is one of the greatest people that you'll ever
meet in the media industry.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
He's such a beautiful man.

Speaker 5 (30:45):
He is I look for anyone because I get asked
this question all the time about Dickie.

Speaker 8 (30:51):
There are so many sharks in this industry, that man
is one of the very few that you just want
to hang out with.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
You He's a huggable dolphin, you know, best, and he's
so What amazes me about Dicky two.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Not only has he got absolute rock star.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Stories which you would hang off every word if he
was to tell, but second of that, he still works
his bum off. He's so giving if he has his
unbelievably generous as a man, but if he's got an interview.
We were overseas one time and we'd had a massive
night and I think he had a Shania Twain interview
the next day or something that was happening at nine o'clock.

(31:26):
He'd had a huge night. He got up at five
am to prepare for that Shania Twain interview, just to
make sure it could be the best it could be.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Mate.

Speaker 8 (31:33):
What the Wolverine movie When we went out to Cockertoo
Island and he was having a kid on before us
before he interview. But his preparation is just he's the best.

Speaker 5 (31:44):
I mean, things go wrong.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
I mean, like that's why live television is just I
love it so much.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
It is just amazing.

Speaker 8 (31:51):
I mean, Sonya Krueger, unfortunately she made a bit of
a gaff not long ago.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, you put your mum onto the set, yes, and.

Speaker 10 (31:59):
Your sister was to your hair.

Speaker 7 (32:00):
Mum found out I was in Queensland.

Speaker 12 (32:02):
Yeah, and so.

Speaker 7 (32:03):
Yeah, my sister's a hairdresser.

Speaker 5 (32:05):

Good blowjob, she's down blow wave.
