Speaker 1 (00:01):
It is the City with Taki podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome to the podcast. I'll get involved here. Pros and cons. Yes,
I love that we're doing that on the show again
these days, because whether you like it or not, I mean,
life can be busy. There's always something that weighs on
your mind. Should you be no, you go?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I don't think that you get the honest feedback from
your friends.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
You don't think so?

Speaker 4 (00:30):
Well, it depends what kind of friend they are, do
you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
So if you call us with the pros and cons list,
we can sort of subjectively look at the position you're
in and make a decision for you.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, I think what was obvious today. I think what
will be obvious from this edition of pros and cons though,
is that sometimes you're saying that we could be what
did you call us? We can be subjective, subjective?

Speaker 5 (00:51):
Well, it all.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Depends on It all depends on the mood for people
making the decisions.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
And apparently I was a bit cranky, but I don't
think I was.

Speaker 6 (00:58):
If you just wanted to dump everybody, you have ruined
a lot of relationships over the last few weeks, and
I feel sorry for all.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
These poor ladies that are just crying at home.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
On the.

Speaker 6 (01:10):
Because they've left their partner because their partner has a twitch.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's just nothing to do with the twitch. One door shuts,
another door opens. It's all on the podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
This is the Fitsy and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
Let's focus on the sense of smell.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
And it's amazing how a scent or an aroma can
transport you back to a place in your life.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Do you find with perfumes that might remind you of
an ex girlfriend or something like that.

Speaker 5 (01:42):
You can be definitely.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Walking past it in the street, and you'll go and
you end up following another girl and you're just sort
of sniffing behind her ear.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
I remember that summer holiday with her, Yes, and she
nuzzled into my neck. They're the things that you do remember.
What I want to focus on this morning is just
disgusting smells. Though that seemed to get you quite excited.
Oh thirteen, twenty fourteen. If there's an aroma out there
right that people usually find disgusting, but you don't mind it, okay?

(02:15):
Because I went out an ex girlfriend that I went
out with, she said that she didn't shower, did she well, no, no,
she she loved it after.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
I came home on a big night, on a big night.
House love a boozy man.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
She loved the smell after a big night out. And
I was like, you're serious, it's gross, and she said no.
Actually got me quite excited.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I knew a girl and she would love it when
her man would come home from a hard day's work,
or maybe he'd been to the gym, and she'd lie
there and just sniffy his pits.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
See, this is the bo some women do love ashslast
night loves it too.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
You love a sweaty man.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
A young man comes home and I mean, he's a
pretty fit bloke, but if he's done a big workout,
you he's.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
Got to stay away from you. Or you don't mind that.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Get in the shower. You know, there's an easy solution here.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Just jump the shower or I'll hit you with a gurney.
What about a dive bar?

Speaker 6 (03:17):
Now, dive bar it's probably an American term, but a
dive bar it'd be like a like a rock.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
And roll bar, you know what I mean? You know
the ones where.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
We've all been to a nightclub before, where you can
smell the booze in the.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Carpet and your feet stick to the floor.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Well, Miller's beer is releasing dive bar fume, barfume, it's called.
So it's the smell of one of those bars when
you walk in after a big night out.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's just it's just that smell that you get.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
I mean, I think it opens up explores the options
of it's going to be a great night. Like we
walk into this bar, it's a dive bar. This is
going to be a great night. But it's all so
the smell of disgusting. It's like parmesan as well. Partisan
you know how well it tastes, but the smell of
it is so disgust.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
It can be like a wet sock.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Well, it's like vomit. It smells like vommett. Do you
know the dive bar and the idea of that. Naturally,
as you get older, you.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Don't go to as many dive bars.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
So I would say that that scent could take you
back to the days where it didn't matter what time
you got home, and it didn't matter what time you
got up the next day. Yeah, I reckon I'd be
a bit excited by the scent of a dive bar.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Well, it's got the scent of tobacco leather. Yeah, then
you've got the smell of vomit. Yeah, bit of urine,
cedar wood.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
He's in there as well. Sea salt Okay, yeah, you
water chips that night to a coastal town.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
I suppose if you're interrogle so you feel like you're
at the beach. It's not a bad idea. I don't
mind this. This would transport you back to youth.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Okay, scent of a dive bar, yes, maybe we a
new fragrance in twenty twenty five, Tommy, Well, I mean
Jenneric was released a long time ago, which was French
for generic.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
He could use for man, woman, dog cat. It doesn't
matter what you spread it on, Tommy.

Speaker 6 (05:12):
What you went to a lot of effort to get
the the aroma for Jeneric, but it actually made people
quite crooked?

Speaker 5 (05:20):
Did It was a fantastic toilet spread, could cut through anything.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
And there's still half a bottle left above your desk,
I think.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
But you got sent the other day from Chug Charlie's
The chicken salt bath.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah, the bas salts so you can feel like a
roast chicken in a bath.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
In a bath gosh, you're going to need to pluck
this one first.

Speaker 1 (05:42):

Speaker 2 (06:12):

Speaker 4 (06:12):
I know, I meet, I meet.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I Actually, I think it's a.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Great why we relaunched pros and cons because we've got
a phone call from someone who had met their partner
and made the decision to hang on to them and
now they're married and have children.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
I want to thank you for your advice on pros
and con.

Speaker 2 (06:27):

Speaker 6 (06:28):
I don't think it was because of this segment. But
let's go to Laura in Southerland.

half years.

Yeah, A simple one that sounds like she said mat
which is short short for Matthew.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah. Okay, so two and a half years. Can I
ask just quickly where you met through a friend or
on a dating app?

Speaker 5 (07:04):

Speaker 5 (07:09):

is the.

Speaker 9 (07:13):
Class clown has everyone in stitches and I.

Speaker 10 (07:17):
Love it so good laughter and humor.

Speaker 9 (07:21):
He also has impaircable style so good.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Like everyone asks.

Speaker 9 (07:26):
Him where his clothes are from, which is so much
better than someone that can't have any style.

Speaker 8 (07:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
What's his favorite brands? Laura? What does he like to wear.

Speaker 9 (07:36):

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Oh yeah, what about good stuff?

Speaker 6 (07:42):
No?

Speaker 9 (07:42):
He kind of is clear from the tarot cash Laura.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
Any other pros that you love about Maddie.

Speaker 9 (07:51):
He's really good with my family, like very very good
with kids and my parents, so everyone loves him.

Speaker 5 (07:57):
It's a bit of a sweet talking.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I would say.

Speaker 9 (08:01):
So he's shy, but like he's not. He's shy with
people he doesn't know dangerous.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
That's just getting to that's warming up.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
For them. Laura. Do you want to get into the
cons sure?

Speaker 9 (08:18):
So my main thing is when he brushes his teeth.
He almost gags himself.

Speaker 10 (08:28):
And you know when people brush their teeth and they
know they like brush their teeth and their tongue like
profusely goes at it, and then he'll have the truthpaste
popping around the side of and then if you're not
in the room, it sounds like he's giving something to
someone else. And then he won't and he won't wipe

(08:51):
his mouth afterwards like properly, so then they'll have like
white residue all around his mouth.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Stylish as well.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
I know, I know, and.

Speaker 9 (09:03):
I'm like, am I interrupting something?

Speaker 6 (09:05):
But you would have would have magnificent breath though, Laura,
like he would be.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
You can grow up, you all. I mean you push
out fire. You're putting a toothbrush in your mouth.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Yeah, you should go that far.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I've never heard anybody brush their teeth, and it sounds like.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
They do when you put it on your tongue and
then you hit the back of your throat or something.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah, you do know it's context, o, Kate.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
I think sometimes you do have to gag just to
get right back to that stinky bit right at the
back of your tongue.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Anything else you don't like about him.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Does he use one of those tongue scrapers?

Speaker 9 (09:43):
No, I should get him on for Christmas. Actually that
might help a.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Gag the issue with him on the cons list floor.

Speaker 9 (09:53):
He's also pigged and toad?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Can I get an Can I get an explanation on pigeon? Toad?
What does that mean?

Speaker 9 (10:05):
You walk with your toes facing inwards?

Speaker 10 (10:08):
My excellence, It's like, just go get some orthotics or something.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
So you may not need as well? Is a bit
knocked at the knee?

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Knees?

Speaker 9 (10:24):
Fine, it's just pigeon toed?

Speaker 5 (10:26):
Do you know what this disgusts me? Laura and Kate?

Speaker 6 (10:30):
Do you think that a relationship can be over because
some poor bloke walks with his feet facing in.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Just because he looks like he's falling forward the whole time?

Speaker 6 (10:39):
And you know what, he spends a lot of a
lot of time at Westfield looking out for his outfits,
and you're there having a guard him and saying you
should end this beautiful relationship just because he walks pigeon toed.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
I was just trying to have an opinion for once
and not Yeah, it is a bit. It is a
bit of a nick but hey, guess what Laura. If
you don't like the pigeon toe, how do you feel
about me to walk on their toes? You know, the
bouncy war bounce on their.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
It's disgusting to hear two sisters like this.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
So horrible, James, James, this is just turned into battle
of the sexes.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Okay, so hang on to him. Oh no, you've overruled.
He's gone, he's done, he's trusted.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Half years is a long time.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
More pros and cons. Next, thanks to call Laura, and
he's gone.

Speaker 10 (11:29):
I like hurt.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
She's no good box weted.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
We don't present.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
Let's go straight to Becky and worry, worry would Becky?

Speaker 5 (11:46):
Who's the victim? What he's known?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Dean?

Speaker 5 (11:50):
You've seen Dean for j twenty four months to dinner, Dina.
One of the good things about us?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Okay, so he is a great cook. I'll give that's good.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
I love a kitchen.

Speaker 9 (12:10):
He's a pretty good worker.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Like he's a hard worker.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
What is he doing for work? He's a carpenter double
any other good things that you must? Come on? Give
us another one, Becky, what's a pride? You know what?
He's really good with kids.

Speaker 9 (12:28):
He's really good with my nieces and nephews.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
Just quickly, have you guys spoken about kids? Would you
want to have kids together?

Speaker 2 (12:39):
We have had that conversation. I'm not ready, he's already either,
but we have had that conversation.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
I could build.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
A cot, couldn't he?

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Did you have another question for Becky?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
I don't know whether the date thirty kids?

Speaker 5 (12:53):
You know, you can ask because if.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
He's no, no, no, like is everything good?

Speaker 5 (12:58):
You know? Yeah? I just think two years. I don't
know what. Once a week? No?

Speaker 4 (13:09):
No, no, no, anyway, let's move on. Let's go to
the cons.

Speaker 10 (13:13):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
So here's a practic, big practical joker often scares me
when I'm coming around the corner, and that really grinds
my gears.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Yeah, grow up, jump, grow up? Agree?

Speaker 2 (13:29):
What else? He's got a receding hairline?

Speaker 5 (13:33):
And and what does he do?

Speaker 2 (13:38):
But how is he It's not about the receding hairline,
it's the approach to the receding.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Hairline by him. What is he?

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Is he hanging on to it for dear life? Or
is he doing it comb over or you know, like,
what's he doing?

Speaker 9 (13:52):
He's definitely hanging on to it for dear life.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
I have asked him to shave it, because I think
he would look great.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with no hair.

Speaker 10 (14:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
What's also interesting is if you're surprised by the receding
hairline and surprised by him jumping around the corner, that's
a double surprise.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And I thought a practical joker with a receding hairline,
you might be dating whip.

Speaker 6 (14:17):
And there's nothing worse than someone trying to hold onto
what Becky taking medicine to hold on to.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
Have a receding hairline? Becky?

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Anything else you don't like besides the practical joke and
receding hairline thinning?

Speaker 5 (14:29):
You know what when we go to the beach.

Speaker 9 (14:30):
We live in Australia, Yeah you do? Is she be
able to swim?

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Swim? Oh? That's true.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Why can't he swim?

Speaker 6 (14:41):
Right?

Speaker 5 (14:41):
Like?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
What did he You know you're in Worrywood for goodness sake.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
What'steen's background?

Speaker 9 (14:45):
Is he pyp No, he's Australian. He goes to the
beach but likes to sit on the sand.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Did he have a bad experience with a blue bottle once? No?

Speaker 5 (15:01):
Hey, can I ask Becky?

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I've got a friend and he's forty four years old
and He's just started getting swimming lessons and I commend
him for doing that because he wants to be able
to swim obviously. So have you said to Dean something like, Hey,
you know you'd really enjoy the ocean and the beach.
Would you take up lessons so you can have some
confidence in the water.

Speaker 9 (15:22):
Well, I've tried to teach him because I can swim,
but he just has one a bar of it. He
just prefers to sit on the sand.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
And maybe that's one of his practical jokes, pretending not
to swim.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Do you think it's not very masculine, Becky?

Speaker 6 (15:35):
Not really? Hey, I've just got a text message as
well with his receding hairline, Becky a big mate, a
made of ours, Big Mooey who's got tattoo Kingdom on
New Illuira Road in Bexley North, said that he'll give
him a free hair tattoo. I do I've seen that, yes,

(15:56):
Big Mowei, who does an amazing job there tattoo Kingdom.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Would you do that, Becky? To hold onto the relationship still,
you know what I might, you know what I must.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Maybe I don't know. You can't give him.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
A Christmas and you can't change relationships that us just
on a hair tattoo.

Speaker 5 (16:20):
I think you're off Dean on my gut seat.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah you sound really you sound quite flat. Sound Yeah,
you sound quite flat. And you know what, just because
he's good with your nieces and nephews, I mean, lots
of people are good with kids.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
Doesn't mean he's good with your heart. Becking, you know
what I mean, sister.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
And there's nothing worse than you being in the ocean,
like the bathing and rebirthing in the salty you see
and looking back onto the shore seeing a guy.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
Yeah, how brutal have you been today? O Kate just
killing off too obviously unhappy in your own life.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I'm not at all. I just think sometimes we hang
onto things for far too long.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
You know what, People let it out.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
You'll be okay.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
It's going to hurt, but you'll be okay.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
You broke a couple up after two and a half
years because the guy was pigeon toed.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
And do you know what else I'm going to do.
I'm going to give Becky the Temple and Webster five
hundred dollars because I have a feeling that Becky's going
to stay with old mate. And she needs she needs
to buy herself something nice.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
At Temple and Webster, you did suggest to Becky that
he's a firecracker when it comes to intimacy.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I don't think you did. Imagine a gift that transforms
any space into a home. Find the perfect gift at
Temple and Webster dot com dot au Laura for a
hussle free Christmas.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
I Becky, absolutely, that was a good round. Actually I
feel bad.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I be Becky needs somebody to tell her what to do.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
I wouldn't mind you just turning around, going over to
that tree and seeing if you can find a bit
of Christmas spirit, because when Grumpy Cat arrives in the
studio breaking up relations ships, I don't have time for it.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Because I'm here.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Rumpy or do you think I'm just being realistic. I'm
here to get into the spirit of Christmas, trying to
save people's Christmas. Do you know what, There'll be nothing
worse than sitting at the dinner table, daring across at
somebody that you knew you should have broken up with
eight weeks ago.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
Oh so your gift is selling people they shouldn't be together.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
No, not at all. I think you should be with
the right person.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
Shame on you pull this Christmas.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Popper because you know, I mean, guys, you're looking for
relationship advice, I'm the one to turn to.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
This is the Fitz and Wibber with Cape Ritchie podcast.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
It's this time a year again when we get all
your lise. You know, great gift ideas leading up to
Christmas for the family members that you love and all
this kind of stuff.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
What are you thinking, beach on the list?

Speaker 6 (18:44):
Well, this one was fourteen great Christmas gift idea is
for someone who loves to travel. And you know what,
when you do travel, you want to be comfortable, don't you.
And you know it's just your basic runs like your
noise canceling headphones and.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (18:57):
You've got pillow and Panasonic compac shaver, the bon Voyage
toilet try bag. I mean, it's just one big ad.
The's the Apple ear tags in there as well. Number
one was travel chopsticks. It's not bad trying to take
with it.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Did you get the restaurant anyway?

Speaker 6 (19:14):
This is the one that I want to focus on
that and I'm about to put it up on the
screen because the neck pillows don't work for me.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
For when I travel.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
But there's a thing called the ostriche pillow napping helmet, Kate.
It looks like you've got a beehive on your head.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I'm trying to work out what it does. Yeah, it's well,
it's this particular color is gray.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
It is so big. It's a huge pillow on your head.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
But what it is there's a hole in the front
of it, so you can breathe through your mouth and
your nose does what it does, It doubles up as
an eye mask as well, so you can so.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
Adds pressure to your eyes.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Does it? No, you know what it kind of it
looks like you know those original scuba.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Diving helmets, but almost alien like.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yes, it was an alien twist in the scuba helmet.

Speaker 6 (20:04):
And I'm going it looks so ridiculous and it's so
big that but if you're doing a long haul flight,
it's actually not bad because you could lean it anywhere.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
I would think it would create like a cocoon feeling.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
It does, so you could put your head forward and
lean it on the back of the seat. You could
be in a in an airport lounge, or like you
could just go side. It looks like that it's got
next support.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
Sixty pillow for your head, isn't it. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
But I've gone on to Google because usually with these
products and we get sucked in by ads so easily.

Speaker 5 (20:39):
The reviews are actually quite amazing, people, I'm loving it.

Speaker 6 (20:44):
There's a guy who's actually Gernus for a vice for
Vice magazine who actually said that he gets quite a
few migraines and struggles to sleep and stuff like that.
This thing has changed his life because he can sleep
at work, he can sleep at home, he can sleep
any were So what's the ostrich pillow on? He was
paid for that and it's comfortable. But see advice, aren't

(21:06):
they don't do stuff like that? I mean everyone knows
for a certain price, don't they.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
What if you suffocate and you die in the looks so.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Comfortable, people would leave you because you look so comfy,
So you're not going to be interrupted, you won't be
found for a week.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
You wish to get one for you for after the show?
Is that because you tend to nap in your chair
in the office.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
Not really, you do? You do? Not give you a
couple of uppercuts as well.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
While it looks like one of those tiny little boxing
you know the ones you know this morning, No, you
know the little you know, the little boxing, or one
of the ones that are on the speedball.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
It looks like a speedboll, So you'd like me to
dress as a speedball so you can punch it in
the head.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Human speedball.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
It's called the ultimate napping mask, Tommy, Can we get them?
Can we get fitty with with Kate Richie twenty twenty five?

Speaker 5 (22:01):
Lock it in?

Speaker 6 (22:01):
Because we're the only ones on air at the moment,
we can lock these ideas in there.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Lock it in, great idea?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Could we have it? Would we make them red?

Speaker 5 (22:09):
So that's good. That's last. That's really good to this
the stuff people want something.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
Always canceling headphones done?

Speaker 3 (22:18):
What if it had a little speaker in it so
you could listen to music while you're in your little podcast?

Speaker 5 (22:25):
You could listen to the Richie podcast.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
I think you want that thing to block the world out?

Speaker 5 (22:31):
Okay, because hard too?

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, sitting there amongst.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Get onto it, Tommy, This is with Cape Ritchie podcast.

Speaker 5 (22:43):

Speaker 4 (22:51):
You know, most streamed singles it.

Speaker 2 (22:54):

Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso, which was number two here in Australia.

dream Songs? Stick Season? Noah, your favorite?

Speaker 5 (23:10):

Speaker 5 (23:16):
The Royal Yeah, yeah, no, just listen to it a
still to ideo. Is adio still a listening service? Or

Speaker 3 (23:29):
At the moment. Can I throw something out there? And
I don't want to start a fight?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
You won't?

Speaker 5 (23:34):
Please? Please please? Is a better song than Espresso?

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Absolutely not. Every day of the week, I think.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
It is, and I really think it is. Thank you jess.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Yess Alright, here we go, Goney.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
I like clapping, I love songs in it. I love
clapping songs, yep. But I do not think it's no
espresso taste.

Speaker 11 (24:02):
No.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
I think when you when you understand music, like when
you're a musician, I think you can comment on the
sort of a strong structure.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
I hear a girl then just a bit of dance.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
Have you got Whippers singing Bob Dylan with his first girlfriend?

Speaker 5 (24:16):
You don't think twice? I don't think twice with Laura,
my first true love. This is so embarrassing, this is beautiful.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Is that you did too much?

Speaker 5 (24:37):
Anyway?

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Santa Claus gave me a four tracks, so I said, Hei,

Never to be mentioned on the show. Sally really awkward
to get one of those messages from Live Across Seas.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
The old mustang, so I Whipper asks you to record
a layer track with him run for the Hills?

Speaker 3 (25:27):

Speaker 2 (25:32):

Speaker 6 (25:38):
She wrote a song about lead.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Sound.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
Okay, you're using Bob Dylan in the background, So no one.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
And it's a Peter Paul and Mary version of a
Bob Dylan original. Bob Dylan does not feature on our
track Fallen.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Mary First, I don't know what that means.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
That's going to be at the top of my Spotify
rat next year. That name again.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
This is the Fitting and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
The boss of a prestigious accounting firm Grant Thought in
Australia is the name of the account firm. Don't know
if I can trust him though, because he's got two
first names. Greg Keith is his name. He's the chief
chief Greedy there Keith, Greg Keith whatauty? Now Keithy has
done something that I wish that this could company could

(26:39):
do at some stage, and that's the old nine day
fortnight guys.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
So every second week you get your Friday off.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Oh so instead of just going hard on the four
day work week. Yep, they've said, you know what, We're
going to ease it in slightly. We're going to give
you every second Friday off.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
Keithy goes, if you give me what I want, you
can have every second Friday off. That's a long weekend,
every fortnight, kay, yes, please lock.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
That inf well play it, uncle, Keith.

Speaker 6 (27:07):
The thing is, though Keith just did it, Greg did
Sorry cannot Keith.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
Greg. Keith just did.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
A podcast and he was asked what his pet hate
in the office was.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
This is what he had to say.

Speaker 12 (27:19):
Going downstairs to grab a coffee and seeing fifteen people
and one of the teams lining up waiting for the
fifteenth person to get their coffee before they all go
back upstairs again. And that's just a huge waste of
time and efficiency. And I feel that when we brought
in our nine Day Fortnite it was really to tackle
those sorts of issues and to say to people, well,

(27:39):
if we can use our time more efficiently, we'll get
that time back to you.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
It's all he's asking for, isn't he. Key's so simple,
efficient time management. But I love.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
Those moments to go down as a team and get
your coffee.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
If you're starting you love a chat, Yeah, you love
a chat, and.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Turn up and get your coffee before that time and
be there on the knocker and get into it at
eight thirty.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
No one does that.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Though they arrive at eight thirty, that's when their workday starts,
and then they're not really doing anything at the desk till.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Ten to Well, let's be honest, the Friday where they
have to be at work, they're not really doing anything either.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
Well it's look, he's got a point, you know what,
they're getting a long week in every fortnight, don't go
down and get your coffee. More importantly, world under Jess
McNally for putting espresso on from Sabriga and Sabrina.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Carpet, I can actually do you one better.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
You're depresso depresso.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
Oh, that's really interesting. It's much that's not the coffee
order I'm interested in. Well, the waiting for the coffee
in line is the same as I'd hate to hear
what Keithy has to say about smokers. Someone's going downstairs
and just taking five to suck back a bit of nicotine.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
And honest, it's that's not as prevalent as you think
it is anymore. I think as many people are doing
that anymore.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
I think they are. You reckon.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
There's regulars that float out of this building. You get
in the left with them and you feel it smells up.
The buildings on fire.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
To you.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
One thing, you're going down for a vape. You're not
working at Grant Thorpe in Australia because Greg Keith coffee
and a vote get out.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
We should do that.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Let's just work harder and get every second Friday she said.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
We should get on the phone. Oh my god, Watermelon Place.
Actually we're the only ones on air at the moment.
Oh my god. That's a committed breakfast show. We love you.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Sydney with a cake whichie podcast.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think the gift that we give to each other
at this time of year for Christmas as a team,
I think is the fact that we've had the joy
of working with each other all year.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
What a gift.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
I don't think we really need to exchange.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
Well, usually we were on a plane somewhere on holiday
at the moment, but are we I think we're the
only ones still on air at the moment.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
And you know why we are because we love it
and we love our life is radio and we love
talking to Sydney.

Speaker 6 (30:06):
Give the reaction we just got from bron when we
just gave you know, nine hundred bucks for shake the Tree,
it was that that's what it's all about.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
And if we weren't here, we wouldn't be gifting. There
is the awkward moment though, especially around the office about
a protocol or etiquette.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Around gift giving.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Sometimes at the end of the year, people are wrapping up,
they've worked with the company for a long time, and
everyone throws a bit of cash in, but it's an
expensive time of year. I don't know what you think
about this, and I'm going to open the discussion around
the pressure to put in money to group gifts around
the office.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Schools as well, like the parents will get together and
they'll want to buy the teacher at present to say
thank you for the year, So everybody throws in twenty
dollars or whatever it might be.

Speaker 5 (30:55):
That can get complicated as well.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Well, especially if it's not just one paying for kids
parties on the weekend you're coming into Christmas, and then
someone else says, oh, I need fifty because we're going
to get Jenny a nice bottle of something stuff she's
wrapping up. This boss has said, well, a man has
posted the text messages between him and a boss saying like,

(31:21):
I just don't know how to react to this because
I'm being pressured to put in one hundred dollars for
old mate Josh, who's leaving has been with the company
three and a half years, and I'm being put there's
too much pressure. The boss has said, hey, I notice
you haven't put your money into the account. Be great
if you could do it by the end of the day,
because I'm going to buy Josh such and such well exactly.

(31:42):
The employee is pushed back and said, hey, I don't
really know Josh. And also Josh hands a lot more
money than I do, and I think that's fair. I
think that's fair. He doesn't want he doesn't want to
be involved. And then the boss has come back and said, well,
I think you underestimating what Josh has brought to the company,

(32:05):
and he's been made to feel really bad about it. Now.
I think group gifts can be lovely, but you should
have the choice of whether to put in or not,
because no one knows where people's cash needs to go.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
I having get funny signing the farewell card that comes
into the office.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
You know when they someone will come around with the card.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Yeah, because you're worried about being taken to HR and
then you write.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Something inappropriate or draw a funny picture, and.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
Then they go, who's Robbie, He's going? Is he Robbie sma?
Robbie Robbie's and then I will never leave. I don't
even know what I meant to write away. Robbie's leaving
is in a bloody coffin. If you know well, said mate,
He's committed to this place, Robbie. They always come back for.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Zamora and I don't even know where to sign on
the card to who the person is. So I can
understand if I was asked to put in a hunie
for somebody that I didn't even know and didn't like,
who was earning.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
A fortune, I'd be furious, or so you look furious.

Speaker 6 (32:57):
You don't like doing it anyway because you spelling is
so bad, And that's true.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
It's on display for the rest of the employees.

Speaker 6 (33:05):
What makes you When I Ian left the other day
and you started it with two e's, I thought, God,
this is not going down.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
Remember when I went to.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
The physio center at moor Park there, Fitzy, where you'd
been as well More Park.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
And that's a joke for people who have been listening.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
Courageous, nice tie back, and I had to rest.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
In the podcast on we won't put that.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
I wrote on the wall, you're the best and I
spelled the wrong You're.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Like, oh are you bad with apostrophes?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
So I had to scribble that out and then anyway,
Tommy Nover gave us a goat which was.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Donated to a village. I don't want another goat. I
don't want a real present, absolutely no more.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
We got lego this week? Do we get a little
Santa Lego?

Speaker 4 (33:50):
Was that from the company or.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
It was from the company? Merry Christmas?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Come from beautiful? Where was the card? Because the goat
went to a village. I'm sure there was some eating
a bit of milk for them. But what about our
bloody beach towel.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
With a with Kate Witchie podcast.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
As we wrap up twenty twenty four, guys, we're having
a look at some of the trends in k Richie.
You specialize in this department, So run us through the
old tinder. How many dates have you been.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
On this yearn Oh, my god, no, I don't have
time for.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
Date between zero and ten? Would you say zero?

Speaker 6 (34:25):
Give us give us just a little bit of juice
on one date that you've been on, like.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
What did you do? Did you go for a stroll?
Did you go I don't know? Maybe yeah, yeah?

Speaker 6 (34:35):
Is she come on you're telling me you haven't been
on one date.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I don't call them date.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
What have you caught up with someone that could be
a possible interest to you in a relationship, a one
on one setting?

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Do you know what my trend of this year was
just prioritizing oneself and my family?

Speaker 5 (34:57):
What artist is that on Spotify? No?

Speaker 2 (35:01):
Here is the list Tinder has released. You make me so.

Speaker 4 (35:06):
Nervous when we start.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Hitting love it, hallolou. You guys, dating for the sake
of dating is out the door. And also situationships they
are also on the way out right.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
You don't know what's going on.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Relationship, Yeah, like we're just isn't a situationship where see
I don't even know you're just in it. It's just
we're in this situation. We're not going to label it
in any way.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
It's care Freezn't it like? It's it's like you can
leave it and come back to it very easily, and
there's no there's no It sounds self mission attachment.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yeah, there's no commitment really, and I think it does
it sound as it sounds as though you can come
and go as you like. But singles apparently are now
embracing intentional intentional.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
Action.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
Singles are embracing intentionality in their dating lives, being upfront
about what they want and refusing to settle. So last
year or that you know this, last twelve months, people
were focused on dating for the plot, casually exploring. But
now singles are going to step up. They are leading
with purpose and they're making their mating as well, hopefully

(36:27):
things grass and making their dating journeys truly their own.
So they're saying, okay, there's a bit of a list,
being upfront about what you're looking for, so rather than
moving in and out without any real requirements, so they
need that. People are going to start vocalizing their wants.
This is what I want.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
I'm looking to get married. Here are the things I like.
Do you fit the criteria?

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Well, okay, can we focus?

Speaker 5 (36:52):
All right?

Speaker 6 (36:52):
This is what you want? Is it vain to start
with physical? Well, so this is what you want, So
let's just let's just say with you.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Do you for what we're doing?

Speaker 6 (37:05):
But do you do you start with a certain hair
color and eye color? Or do you go down that road?

Speaker 5 (37:09):
Do you start with a certain age?

Speaker 2 (37:11):
I you're an idiot. I have always thought that I
was a tall dark and hats and very dark hair,
very kind.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
Of a hair.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
But I don't know, it hasn't been I mean, I
married a blonde man.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
Right, yeah, true? And I appreciate your understa. What can
I ask? Can I ask you this question?

Speaker 2 (37:34):
I say, no, you can't. You're going to ask me anyway?

Speaker 5 (37:37):
What is all right?

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Because I unfortunately made a fool of myself talking about this.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
But is there a body part or is there is there?
Is there a smile? Is it a look? Is there
something that sort of gets you over the line? What
is it?

Speaker 4 (37:50):
Forearms?

Speaker 5 (37:51):
Oh? They need to look like so not the bicep,
the forearm.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh will byteps? Good do aren't they? I guess it
would be ridiculous if you had nice forearms, not that
massive like you've roided like in the forearm, but strong forearms?

Speaker 5 (38:13):
What about it? Like the bra boys?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
I don't really care. I don't care about ink in
or you know, I notice inc when I see it
on the street, but I don't How did I get
dragged into this conversation. It's funny you should say that
because number two on the list is that people are
going to start prioritizing personal qualities. So they're going to
They're not worried about physical physicality anymore. They're worried about

(38:38):
trustworthiness and shared values, all of that kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (38:42):
The list is a bit boring talking about you.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
They're saying that they are going to take advice from
the universe, so they're going to start paying attention to
astrology and singles. Singles. Maybe we don't even want to date,
or people who are single don't want to date. They're
just going to get busy with hobbies.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
This year's excitement for you, Tommy, twenty twenty five. We
had a planning meeting the other day about what's coming.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
Up next year.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
I would be honored to be part of a team
that possibly worked on the adventure of finding Kate Richie
someone special in.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
Her life I can find. I'm very fine, very fine.
If I wanted to find, I could find on my own,
although I also say it is very difficult to find.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Just of course it is, and.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
That's why we're here Luna Park, Tommy book out the
whole thing great, I.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Can't find love at Luna Park. I would walk into
that mouth and think that that funny, that big funny
face was laughing.

Speaker 4 (39:44):
At Do you think she's going to find love here Sydney.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
Zoo. Oh, that's biggest singles party ever, Carmen's, Carmen's in Miranda.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
I'm not allowed to go to the next singles party myself.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
Five thousand singles.

Speaker 6 (40:02):
Let's do another singles party next year because we know
this year was quite successful.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
What are you even talking about?

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Oh my goodness, I feel left out of saying quite
successful and I.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
Should have joined you. But do you want me to
do it? Can we go out? Can you go get yeah? Tommy?
Can we have another singles party next year because this
year is was?

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Oh my god? Do you know what? I hate all
of you so much?
