Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the City and Whipper with Kate Ki podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hello everyone, welcome to the Fitzi and Whipper with Kate
Richie Podcast. No, I'm not Kate Richie, not Fitzi, and
although I sound a bit like him, not Whipper. It
is producer jests. You know, my job here on the
show is to is to make sure the guys record
the podcast intro. Today we are talking about the luckiest
people in the world, the person in Sydney that won

(00:27):
one hundred million dollars lotto and the only person that
survived that awful plane crash in India. Today, I would
say you fall into that category of the luckiest people
in the world because me forgetting to get them to
do the intro means you get.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
To hear my beautiful voice.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
What a gift, what a privilege, and what a pleasure,
more so for me than for you. I'll just leave
you with the pod and I'll also say that every
week we do a producer's pod. This is when all
the people that make the show happen get to sit
down with the big guys. They normally don't talk to
us off the air, but they give us ten minutes
of their time. Make sure you check out today's episode
to find out why Chrissy went missing. When we recorded

(01:05):
enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
This is the Fitzi and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast
show was extraordinary.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
What you just played the grab from the only surviving
passenger on the flight in Theian Airlines heading to London.
We saw the devastation. Can you play that again for us? Yes,
this was one passenger who walked away from the crash.

Speaker 6 (01:24):
So this was his brother speaking from the UK. He
was being interviewed about I guess what had unfolded in
the lead up to the crash. This brother was speaking
about how his brother had phoned his father and they
were having an interaction and he was letting him know
the plane was about to take off. And then it
wasn't long after the plane taking off that his dad

(01:45):
received another call.

Speaker 7 (01:46):
When he was on the room. More than my dad
called him and I said, oh, we're going to take
off soon. On the literally lay two minutes Leo. He
called my dad as he crushed. He said, Aldean's crushing.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
So an absolutely terrifying phone call as a parent to
receive from your son to say that they've just involved
in a plane crash.

Speaker 8 (02:08):
Was he the sole survivor as well. She was the
only one that survived the whole plane.

Speaker 6 (02:13):
Yeah, so this forty year old man, Vishwosh Kumar Ramash.
He is a British national, which is why he's got
family back in the UK who are now doing these interviews.
He was seated in eleven a when the plane took off.
He was also traveling with another brother who was sadly
passed away.

Speaker 8 (02:31):
I'm trying to think to myself, why how has he
been flung from the plane whip?

Speaker 9 (02:37):
That's where my mind goes.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
In some way, he was lucky enough to be ejected
from the plane when it landed and he cleared all
explosion somehow or landed some way.

Speaker 10 (02:47):
Well, this is what and Ash also brought up before.

Speaker 8 (02:49):
Because the plane was full of fuel, that the fireball
that you see when it crashes is no one is
going to survive that. When you think about destiny of
fate like moments like these, you go, it's just unbelievable
that he was. It's got to be destiny that he
stays on.

Speaker 9 (03:09):
Earth to walk away from it.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
But the idea of speaking to your dad and then
saying I've got to go Dad, We're about to take
off and then two minutes later you're on FaceTime with
dad and you're walking away from a fire ball.

Speaker 10 (03:21):
It's an absolute miracle.

Speaker 9 (03:23):
Oh my gosh, it is a miracle. We're going to
keep you up to date throughout the morning on that.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Hey can we talk about something just looking at what
the two big stories have been overnight, someone in the
east here in Sydney wins one hundred million dollars.

Speaker 9 (03:39):
It's just extraordinary.

Speaker 8 (03:41):
It's amazing to think right that they don't know yet
that is in their hands or at home.

Speaker 10 (03:50):
They've thrown it somewhere on the bedside table.

Speaker 9 (03:52):
It's nothing.

Speaker 8 (03:53):
They have no idea that that little piece of paper
is worth one hundred million.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
I don't really knowlice. At the same time, we said
the devastation of the plane crash Air India heading to
the UK. One man, two hundred and forty two people
on board. One man walks from the crash correct.

Speaker 11 (04:11):
That I cannot comprehend how.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Full of fuel, giant fireball and one man his brother
passed away. One man walks and rings his dad on
the way out of the scene.

Speaker 12 (04:23):
Yeah, not even like you know, rush to hospital critical condition,
literally as if nothing had happened.

Speaker 10 (04:30):
That was your morning.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Not great my plane crash, but anyway, extraordinary is the
perfect word for it.

Speaker 9 (04:36):
Tswani. I want to know are you the luckiest person
in the world?

Speaker 5 (04:39):
What makes you and what happened that made you the
luckiest person in the world?

Speaker 9 (04:44):
Million dollars at a walk from a plane accident.

Speaker 10 (04:47):
We spoke of it, We spoke about why does that happen?

Speaker 8 (04:50):
Well? We had two callers last week with multiple people
winning more than two lottos.

Speaker 10 (04:56):
We had the guy over in.

Speaker 8 (04:57):
The States, the old blake that one had won four
Lottos within nine months.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Ey, does your mind run deeper to why did he
and why was he the one that walked from the crash?
Or do you just go chance of coincidence? That's life
and often a.

Speaker 11 (05:16):
Really good question. I do believe.

Speaker 12 (05:19):
I think in my heart of hearts that there is
a plan for everybody and the fact that one person
survived that situation in India, I would have to go
with why.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
Because you would be if you were that person, you'd
be asking the question yes.

Speaker 9 (05:41):
Is what I mean?

Speaker 10 (05:42):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (05:43):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (05:43):
What is ahead for me that I have to be
here for.

Speaker 9 (05:49):
What am I going to do?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Now?

Speaker 8 (05:50):
Do you then link it to a higher above because
we've spoken swy, I don't know. But if you know
this story about the guy who was in the World
Trade Center when they went down on nine to eleven
and his wife saw it on television, absolutely beside herself,
Oh my god, this is unbelievable, rings him, and he

(06:13):
picks up his phone. Hello honey, and she's freaking out.

Speaker 13 (06:17):
Oh my god, you're alive. Are you okay? Did you
get out in time? And he goes, what are you
talking about? I'm in the office. She goes, I'm looking
on the television. Your office is gone. He was cheating
on her.

Speaker 9 (06:29):
Now was enough to be cheating. Very lucky that day
to be cheating.

Speaker 8 (06:34):
He was at his mistress's house cheating on her and
was saying to his wife, I'm in the office, what
are you talking about?

Speaker 10 (06:42):
Had no idea what was going.

Speaker 11 (06:43):
Whole other angle to get in little a very different angle.

Speaker 9 (06:47):
So the in luck or out of luck? Kurt, Hello,
tell us about your mate, buddy.

Speaker 14 (06:55):
Yes, a couple of years ago, my mate fatherly has
like a whole bunch of like private two person planes yep,
And they were doing some sort of aerobatic trick in
the air, and the engine turned off and the plane
actually spiraled down a couple of thousand feet and then

(07:18):
he ended up sort of grabbing it right at the end,
and it was there was a whole bunch of like
san dunes and stuff, and the plane hit a sand
dune and his dad got like damaged one to his
face and stuff like that. But my mate came out
with nothing straw.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
Around, spiraling towards the earth, hits a sand dune, walks away,
says what happened there?

Speaker 11 (07:38):
Because it count I've got a story in my count.

Speaker 12 (07:42):
My friend was working on a television production overseas, where
like the whole crew has to stay in a big hotel,
and when she checked out at the end of the
I mean this is this might not be quite as
good as surviving a plane crash fib well, but to

(08:04):
me it is very lucky. She gets home and she
checks her loyalty rewards balance on that hotel chain, and
all of the rewards points that were earned by a
crew of about one hundred and fifty for six weeks
of accommodation and extras were in her account.

Speaker 8 (08:29):
Not just her everybody, everyone's millions of points. So, Sonny,
what did she Can you tell me what she would
get for that? Like she got free accommodation forever anywhere.

Speaker 12 (08:43):
Or so what she did was she realized and she
organized the the draining of that account asap.

Speaker 9 (08:53):
She moved them.

Speaker 11 (08:54):
Around the world. Sort of deals were you know, you walk.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
From plane crash or you've got enough rewards to get
a free flight. They're both very lucky stories. How lucky
Kim and Rosella. Welcome to the show. Kim, you are
the luckiest person alive.

Speaker 15 (09:11):
I but I am. When I was seven, I grew
up on a property and my dad bought us one
of those mini motorbikes, the Peewee fifty. Yeah, and so
we were we got it for Christmas Day. So it
was Christmas Day, all the families around, my grandmother's there,
everyone's there, and my sister has a goal on it,

(09:32):
and she was like atort it. She was so slow.
So I was like, right, I'm going to have a
proper goal on this. So I zoomed off and I
ended up not seeing a piece of barbeire fencing that
was stung a from a puddick in the distance. And
slipped myself underneath it and cut my throat coat hanger. Yeah,

(09:52):
And the only reason I survived and didn't cut my
wind pipe or my jugular vein was the fuckle of
the helmet because it was too My dad had sort
of tied on a bit with a bit of a
band and the song was huge and it was right
in front of my wings.

Speaker 9 (10:08):
Oh my god, Kimmy, that is wild.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Do you hearing that?

Speaker 12 (10:14):
I am not going to tell you that I feel
like the luckiest person alive because kim bags of killer
pythons are half priced at the moment of I might
include that, and.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
I don't want to play the game of one hour?
But do you remember Swanny just to tee fifteen hour?
In a situation where we thought, stuff it, We've got
nothing to do this afternoon, and this was a bit
out there, we went to Sizzler in Campbelltown and we
ate the cheesy bread and we went back for the
buffet and the dessert bar.

Speaker 9 (10:44):
Two months later, Sizzler and Campbelltown shuts down.

Speaker 10 (10:48):
No, that's why we went out there because we knew
it was shut o was it?

Speaker 9 (10:51):
Sorry?

Speaker 4 (10:52):
This Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
Our Stambassador Mitch Cheerry is here with what we should
be watching on Stand right now?

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Good Mitch, Hello, great to be here.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
How fun did I get to just watch these shows
on Stand and then report back on what's hot and
what's good.

Speaker 10 (11:06):
It's the best job in the world, really, there's no
doubt about that. And there's a lot going on.

Speaker 8 (11:10):
We've been waiting for this one though, because we saw
when he was here it was filmed in Australia. Nicholas Cage,
Can you tell us a little bit more about the surfer?

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Mitch?

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Oh, my god, the surfer. Are Nicholas Cage fans? Do
you like Nicholas Cage?

Speaker 5 (11:23):
Oh, we're huge Nicholas Cage fans. Your cages, Cajenators, absolute Cajunators. Actually,
looking in your eyes now, I can tell you've been
in the cage all weekend. The surfer is so weird.
It is so odd, but it's so Nicholas Cage. You
have to watch it. It is weird, even out of
the color grading and the directing. It's Ossie right, and
everything about it is so Australian except for the fact
that it stars Nicholas Cage and it's jarring It's filmed

(11:46):
in Wa and the whole thing takes place by a.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Beach and in the parking lot of a beach. It's
like pubity Blues with Nicholas Cage. Punchline is basically Nicholas
Cage moves back to his Aussie town after living in
the States and wants to back his childhood home that
the local surfers don't want him to do it.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
It's great.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
It's adult puberty blues, That's what it is.

Speaker 9 (12:06):
Yeah, I love it, Mitch. Let's hear some of the trailer.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Michael, I grew up here.

Speaker 14 (12:11):

Speaker 10 (12:24):
To back down. It could get a whole lot worse.

Speaker 13 (12:28):
That.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
It sounds like whips, to be honest, all I want
to take my son's surfy. Don't leave he don't surfy.
So that is this Sunday on stand Now?

Speaker 8 (12:36):
What about how and harpart? Mitch, it's a stand original
What are we in for here?

Speaker 13 (12:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Helen Harper's great, Mark Ruffalo, Wily Ryan Hart from Riverdale,
Good Cass, coming of age.

Speaker 9 (12:45):
It's great.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
For you guys, you know you being youngsters, you really
connect with the youth in this show. At the core
of this, it's a brother and sister their relationship with
their dad. They lost their mum at a young age,
and they're going through the tries and tribulations of him
having a new with a new girlfriend, struggles with sexuality.
It's really really good and for if you're out there

(13:07):
and you're a youngster. This I think this is the
perfect coming of age series.

Speaker 10 (13:11):
Awesome.

Speaker 8 (13:12):
And lastly, before you go, this show has a huge
cult following.

Speaker 10 (13:16):
It gets better every year. But tell us a bit
more about Alone.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah, Alone is the best reality series of all time.
You know the premise, You get dropped in the middle
of the wilderness, more than likely freezing cold, and you
have to survive, and whoever lives the longest stays the longest.
No one does die, don't worry, But whoever lives and
stays the longest wins. And this season, for the very
first time, they're in South Africa in a dry climate,

(13:39):
which is something we've not seen before. I just sit
there and watch and I think, how would I survive
getting dropped into the middle of the wilderness. So I
don't think I could do it really without my dice
and blow dry. I think I'd be dead by day two?
Can we let's ever listen to it?

Speaker 14 (13:53):
Then?

Speaker 10 (13:53):
This is the new season of Alone.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
We are in one of the most unhospitable places on Earth,
the Great Crew Desert, South Africa.

Speaker 9 (14:00):
This is a place to be feared.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
It's super hot.

Speaker 14 (14:06):
This is right dry dry.

Speaker 9 (14:08):
If I was going to get a chance, it's a
proved what I can do. This is it Alone?

Fitting and with Kate Richie.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Podcast, we are learning so much about sleep. And you
know what, most of the stories we hear about sleep
are only good stories.

Speaker 9 (18:39):
You don't hear many people go, oh that sleep's going
to get you.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
I tell you, what you do more than eight hours,
it's going to take years off your life.

Speaker 10 (18:46):
You had a great sweep, yes, and.

Speaker 9 (18:48):
No, I did.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
To rest of the tablets. And you won't even wake
up when you've got to go to work.

Speaker 10 (18:53):
Got it.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
It's a good effort.

Speaker 10 (18:55):
Did you double drop the rest of it?

Speaker 5 (18:57):
Well? I dropped it around nine ish because I couldn't
sleep and I'd gone to bed early. You know, when
you you know what, I'm gonna have an early night.
I'll get into bed when the kids go to bed,
and I'm gonna have an early night. You do the
right thing, and then you can't sleep. So I had
one about then, and then I had one around midnight
or twelve thirty or something like that. And that'll see
you straight through your alarm clock and everything else and

(19:18):
bring it to work at hour late.

Speaker 9 (19:20):
To amazing power.

Speaker 8 (19:22):
Tommy, didn't you speak to him at a round about
five thirty before the show started at six?

Speaker 10 (19:26):
And he goes, yeah, MoMA away mate, and then he
went back to sleep. Yep, So that's a good.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Rest of it worked really well.

Speaker 10 (19:33):
I thought about the rest. What about the rest of us?

Speaker 9 (19:41):
I didn't give a stuff about the rest of it.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Doctor Andrew Rochford was in here the other day and
he was saying, we're only just learning more about sleep
and what the brain requires. Here's one of the other
concerning things that have come out. They've said that if
you don't get enough sleep, and they've done a study
involving seven thousand people, if you don't get enough sleep
in your forties and your fifties, there is a good
chance that you're going to end.

Speaker 9 (20:04):
Up with bad hearing. You're going to go deaf. What
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
I don't want to end up like Mom and Dad.
At the moment, this is the worst thing that happens.

Speaker 9 (20:15):
They're on holidays. At the moment, they're in broom. Dad
got the broom and he goes, is it what do
you think? He goes, not much.

Speaker 10 (20:22):
Here, Oh, cable beach, come on, beautiful sunset.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Well that's what I would have thought. I said, Dad,
go and get on a camel. He goes, oh, I
don't old meat.

Speaker 9 (20:32):
Then Mom said to him, come on, John, get on
a camel. Let's go. And the only camel available was
the last camel in the line of camels.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
And Dad was like, what if the one in front farts,
and I went, I'll come on, John.

Speaker 9 (20:48):
Stick with me here.

Speaker 5 (20:49):
There's a life to live.

Speaker 9 (20:50):
Get on a camel.

Speaker 10 (20:51):
You've got to be adventurous.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Johh please.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Anyway, what they do when I ring now is Dad
will say, hang on a minute. I'll put you on
speaker so your mother can hear you. Now, I can't
hear anyone because I reckon. They put the phone, say,
on the kitchen bench, and then they both walk back
ten meters.

Speaker 9 (21:08):
That's what it sounds like. So the hearings stuffed.

Speaker 10 (21:11):
Well, you're lucky you've got that, mate.

Speaker 8 (21:14):
So my old man now has hooked up his hearing
aid to his phone.

Speaker 9 (21:18):
Oh, doesn't work.

Speaker 10 (21:20):
But what happened?

his phone, but then she can't hear me.

Speaker 10 (21:29):
But then Dad can hear me.

Speaker 9 (21:30):
Through his ear because it's connected to this.

Speaker 10 (21:33):
He's in another room, and I can hear Mom in.

Speaker 8 (21:35):
The background going right right, So.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
You have to spend five minutes establishing where you're coming
through to.

Speaker 8 (21:45):
And then and then I told you, Mum thought that
there was a Mozzi problem in the house because you
could hear.

Speaker 10 (21:53):
The whole time and that was because Dad hadn't turned
off his hearing.

swat man. It's not easy.

star because she went and did the UK version of
the show. Fore Lemon years amazing. It's tough these dance
as well. You get into their world super athletes.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
You know what I think fit and I know I've
explored a couple of times the idea of possibly going
on the show, and then I look at the training
that goes into it.

Speaker 9 (22:53):
How intense was it's.

Speaker 16 (22:55):
I rang the boss of the show about three weeks
into it and I said, there's no way you let
me know this was you know.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
You needed this amount of time.

Speaker 16 (23:02):
It was five hours a day, six days a week
for about five six weeks beforehand, right and.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
In the middle of all this, I'm trying to.

Speaker 16 (23:07):

the serious guy stuff. And he said, if we let

love it. They embrace you, and they say, look, we're
not here just to stumble around. We want to try
and make you at least appear like a professional dance.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Give it a go.

Speaker 8 (23:29):
But there's got to be some advantages to it, they
mush as well for your partner, for your girlfriend, I
mean that this must be amazing for you to go
home and show her that you can.

Speaker 9 (23:38):
Do the foxtrot, or.

Speaker 10 (23:41):
It must be very romantic in your relationship. Has it
helped in that sense?

Speaker 16 (23:45):
It might have spiced it up? It certain it certainly
increased the fitness. No, it's not like I was coming
home and saying, hello, darling, do you want to do
a foxtrots?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
But actually she.

Speaker 16 (23:58):
Really got into it. She came to all the shows. Yeah, really,
really got all the family did. It was quite a
It was a very immersive experience.

You haven't changed at all.

Speaker 10 (24:22):
Marsh tell us, who are the standouts here?

Speaker 8 (24:24):
Because you know what, there's a lot of hidden skills
and talent that not many people know about. These sports people,
these actors that can.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Dance, well, it's quite incredible.

Speaker 16 (24:36):
I was amazed at how well some of them could dance.
Now I started, I'll be honest, I started off. Okay,
ye kind of went downhill after that.

Speaker 9 (24:45):
Okay, sure.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
I got old and tired. No, I really did.

Speaker 16 (24:51):
Physically, it's a bit demanding and and I don't get
I mean, look, I do get nervous in some parts
of my job, but generally not.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
I had panic attacks doing the damn dances.

Speaker 16 (25:01):

some of the dancing's excellent, so them. Harry Garside was great.

Speaker 16 (25:24):
He does his thing, and he's very entertaining. I mean,
the crowds really get into it, and you know, look
and look. Even if you're doing it a bit wrong,
as I discovered a few times, the crowd still gives
you a whole lot of applause and stands up and
gets you going. There was one dance I was doing
and I said, the nat because you're smiling. You don't
have a microphone and you're smiling, and I said, we're
going the wrong way up.

Speaker 10 (25:41):
And she goes, yes, what are we doing?
