We opened up the lines to those moments when your well-intentioned “cure” backfired spectacularly. Also Wippa, the fitness guru of the crew has discovered a fresh way to walk that’s not only healthier but also great for shedding pounds. Plus, Brand Man is back for another round, and Chrissie can’t stop raving about a book she just had to share with the guys.

This normally set of doing a mad dashing at five
point thirty. But I texted him, I said, where are

Actually you miss out on this story too, w because
we spoke about the guy that climbed the ropes of
the cruise ship down at Circular Key a few weeks ago.
If the guy's name is George Carr. He's had his
day in court, he's represented himself. Didn't go well for George.
Four thousand dollars. Fine, now, he told the magistrate, And

(02:16):
why wouldn't you? You know, when you when you're looking
at those huge cruise ships in Circular Key, you think yourself,
I'd love to jump on there and just go for
a European trip.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
That's George thought.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
He said to the judge Tommy, I believe the ship
was going to Europe, and I thought I'll climb up
the rope and I can sneak him through one of
the latches there. Unfortunately, it was going to the Great
Barrier Reef. He got busted. It's cost him four thousand dollars.
He's admitted that he was really stupid and George will
never do it again.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
So George, George, George.

Speaker 2 (02:49):

What did you want to say, big fella? Oh God,
this snap brand really good? Wake up the snack man.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Well, actually, if you actually just hovered a couple of
snacks around him, he will get in here very quick.

But oh yeah, yeah, now you know what he's I
must admit, and Tommy, you can back me up here.

But I'll tell you what.

Speaker 7 (04:16):
It's a lot of what you've done with your hair
looks fun of yours.

Speaker 2 (04:21):

I probably would have accepted your your your your presentation
to come in and do the show with us. But Gary,
I'm going to give you a ticket of the powerboll.
I want you to win that tonight, gas good luck.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
One ticket?

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Come on, bro, what's that we wear more than one ticket? Fit? Oh?
You want more than one? You're not getting more greedy? Gary?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, Gary, we spoke about a guy a couple of
weeks ago who took out every combination in the lotto
in America in a syndicate, in a gambling syndicate, and
they won it. It cost them sixty million dollars, but
they won an eighty five million dollar jackpot. So it
can be done if you can get every combination one

(05:05):
hundred million dollars.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
Yeah, all right, worry about Gary's phone line? Fits?

Speaker 5 (05:09):
I think Gary is he's he's on his way into
payment to collect his two tickets.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
This is an absolute disaster.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
This is the Fits and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
What did you try to achieve when you were sick
that made you worse? So?

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Okay, so I made of mine panners, you know, a
very good friend of IT partners. So fair bit going
around at the moment. I'm all right, guys, are I
mean we had doctor Andrew Rochford in last week, there's
this rs v HSV hold and commodore becausease going. There's
a fair bit going on with influenza A, COVID still
floating around as well, influenza B.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
So so he doesn't know what.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
He had, but it's absolutely rocked him. Not just for
a day or two, this is for seven days, Chris.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
He couldn't punt for seven days straight.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Chris. This was a disaster. Money. He's had a before.
He's off the punt whip. This is the thing.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
And he's actually he's thought about sitting us down as
friends and gone, I don't deserve the nickname anymore.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
I'm not punters anymore. For seven days he stopped gambling.

Speaker 8 (06:14):
Oh my god, did you suggest some new nicknames?

Speaker 4 (06:18):
Can you? Can you change your nickname? Later in life.
I suppose you can. It's up to your mate, Castage.

Speaker 9 (06:24):
You can't. You can never change your nickname. You have
no thought like you have no saying it.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Unfortunate, Yeah, unfortunately he'll be punters for the rest of
his life. On his deathbed, I'll just give me one
more tip, race for it round for us. So anyway,
he's cook as a dog. He he said, I didn't
check this, but you know, I immediately thought, I've got
to sweat this out when you get sick, and a
lot of people on parents do this.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Got to go to bed, don't. You've got to put
a jumper on. You've got to sweat this out.

Speaker 9 (06:55):
And speaking of parents, it's often what your mum told
you when you were sick. Like my mum would always say,
have an apple and a glass of water. And I
find myself saying that to my kids. So I reckon punters.
His mum would say, you've got to sweat it out,
sounding you got to sweat it out, have a.

Speaker 10 (07:13):
Punt, and it's stuck with stuck with him, so you
know what he's done while he's crooked. And I said, mate,
this was stupid and reckless. He said, there was no
one else in there, he said, I've gone to my
local sauna.

Speaker 9 (07:25):
Oh my god, so everyone gets what got So this
is the thing.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
He goes into the sauna, does it. On the first
day he comes out, he said, I felt even worse.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
It was horrible.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
I woke up even worse the next day that I
thought that I needed to go back again to sweat
it out even more. He's done two saunas in two days,
and then he's gone home and googled it. And it
is the worst thing to do because it increases your
body temperature, potentially worsening the fever that you've already got,
making it difficult to breathe.

Speaker 9 (07:55):
He could have died, of course, think about that, because
you've got to like heat makes all those hideous microbes
go yum, I'm going to get bigger.

Speaker 8 (08:07):
God.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
So he is still It's been a week and a
half now and he's still sick. He hasn't been back
to work. He's a rood and he's still not back
to work.

Speaker 9 (08:17):
I mean, you just know, nothing brings you back down
to earth quicker than realizing that you are not a
medical profession in that way. You can't fix yourself in
that way. The ideas are always bad. I had an
infected toe once and I was like, I'm not going
to go to the did you just say yummy here?

(08:38):
Couldn't disorder with grad visuals anyway? I'm like, I'm not
going to adopted with this. I'm not going to trouble them.
I'm not going to trouble I'm going to fix it myself.
So I diligently would dress it and antiseptic it every
day and blah blah. Anyway, it was just getting worse
and worse. Basically, it almost had to get it taken off.
Eventually I went to the doctor and she said, what
you have done for the last week is the very

(09:00):
worse thing you can do, because yes, you're protecting it
and letting it do it's terrible work. It needs to
be open. So you know, I could have lost my toe, eyes.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
And all balance would have been thrown. So welcome to
the show.

Speaker 8 (09:16):
Did you What did you do to try and make
it better?

Speaker 7 (09:19):
I had vertiego and I thought going for a walk
out side would be a good idea, but I almost
got hit by a car because I couldn't walk a.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Straight Did you think you needed fresh air?

Speaker 6 (09:28):
Rage?

Speaker 11 (09:28):
I just needed to get out.

Speaker 7 (09:30):
It had been two weeks and it was killing me,
and I was pregnant, and I.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
Was like, oh, I thought, I'll go and play with
the traffic.

Speaker 9 (09:37):
Side note, Rach, how bad is Bertie Go? I had
it once it were have the other of you guys
had to get it. It's a virus. People don't realize that, right, Rage,
It's a virus like the flu.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
I literally had to hold onto the walls if I
walked from my room to somewhere exactly.

Speaker 9 (09:55):
I got out of bed on the first day I
had it, and I was like, it was like I
was doing the limb you can get up past to
meet up.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Oh, this is it, this is it.

Speaker 9 (10:04):
I'm going the weirdest thing.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Also one of you two's greatest song, Stephan st. Leonard's
what About.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
You've Forgotten That?

Speaker 11 (10:12):
So I had a really bad stomach bug and I
heard that if you bathed in epsom souls it would
make it better. But something happened and I ended up vomiting,
and I was so weak I just had to lay
there in my vomits.

Speaker 9 (10:30):
Wait in the bath.

Speaker 6 (10:32):
It just floaters.

Speaker 8 (10:33):
Bits of carrot want to look like a ministraning.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
So ah, you Steph and you could not move at all.

Speaker 12 (10:42):
I couldn't move.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Imagine your partner coming home and seeing that Steph done.

Speaker 6 (10:48):
Don't tell me she speed at the basket?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Which is which is most Saturday nights for Tom David
Silver dar What did you do well? What did you have?
And what did you try to do to make it
feel better? You doing good? Mate?

Speaker 7 (11:02):
I'm a ginger so when as a kid mar got
sun burnt, my parents grew up saying, or have a
hot shower instead of a cold shower.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
You know at all?

Speaker 3 (11:13):
But now you realize I don't know anything.

Speaker 9 (11:15):
I can still hear that little boy screaming from the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
What are you doing to my mom? What have you
had a gold since?

Speaker 11 (11:26):
Dave?

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Since you've grown up?

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Have I had what?

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Sorry?

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Have you had a gold? About it?

Speaker 12 (11:30):
And thinking cold abuse?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
They're like googles around back then or anything?

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Now?

Speaker 6 (11:36):
You would have let him go, wouldn't you, Dave?

Speaker 8 (11:38):
If we can make it feel any better, everybody today
that gets on here gets a ticket to one hundred
million dollar power ball.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
Okay, so win that.

Speaker 7 (11:45):
I'll have another hot shower right.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Well, yeah, the.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Odds of you winning are very slim, so you'll get
burnt again.

Speaker 11 (11:53):
There.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
That's good luck, buddy.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
This is the Fits in Whiper with Cape Richie pod Cast.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
Fits spent the day with Scotti Cam yesterday. Great man,
great man.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Love the Block.

Speaker 8 (12:07):
It's like twenty one years of Scotty campon twenty five
either way. Yeah, I mean he's now one of the
longest employees at Channel nine.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
I don't think the block's been on air for twenty
five years.

Speaker 8 (12:18):
It's twenty one?

Speaker 2 (12:18):
Then is it?

Speaker 4 (12:19):
Get onto that?

Speaker 3 (12:21):
What was interesting?

Speaker 6 (12:22):
Scotty set I've been doing a.

Speaker 8 (12:24):
Few ads recently with food. When I yeah, what was
that for me? He said, try about that? What the
interesting part is? And here's where I want to go.
It's different scenes in movie like the movie Magic, where
you see brains but it's actually jelly or whatever they
use for when.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Someone's head gets ye with sound. Yeah, gotcha.

Speaker 8 (12:42):
I'm fascinated by how that heard the sound. What was
the one you were saying the other day, Tommy.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
Oh, I don't know if you remember this movie Araka Massive.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
One of their ratest movies of all time.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Yeah, well, when they started trying to sort of squash
the spiders, they would make that squashing spider sound like
ching chips, you know, cresps, and that would be the
crunching that you hear it. Spider's legs were set to
or No, no, no, I wasn't, but I just I've

(13:12):
never forgotten that because that movie stuck in my brain.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Does everyone.

Speaker 8 (13:16):
Scotty said, the weirdest thing was we were dealing with
a steak the other day, and it was important that
the steak looked like it was fresh off the krill.
So the steak had to be steaming a bit, and
it was sort of propped up on a pile of
mashed potato.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
That was the look they were going for.

Speaker 8 (13:30):
So he said, you're not going to believe what they
did to get the steam because they didn't actually cook
the steak. The steak had already been cooked and the
steak was cold. What you do is you get a tampon,
you put it in a mug of water, and then
you put it in the microwave, so the tampon absorbs
all the water and then starts steaming. So he said,
I was on set all of a sudden, someone pulls

(13:52):
out a tampon that sounded wrong, steams it up, and
then puts the tampon steaming under the steak amongst the MASHs,
so it continues to steam while they get the shot.
So they said, anytime you see an ad, like if
it's for a coffee, if it's for an es cafe
or whatever it might be, and they don't show the coffee,
but the side shot of the cup just shows the

(14:14):
steam crowding this beautiful moment of somebody relaxing. Quite often
it's a steaming tampon in the cup of coffee or tee.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
Crazy.

Speaker 8 (14:21):
Isn't that amazing?

Speaker 4 (14:22):
I love that.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
Behind the scenes, mate, it's not often you see it.
The magic is not often revealed.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
There's a couple that have been written down here as
I didn't know this, but mashed potato is dyed to
imitate ice cream in commercials as it doesn't melt and
creates less mess.

Speaker 8 (14:40):
Well, that would make sense. Imagine trying to shoot the
perfect ball of ice cream and it melts within seconds.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Glue is used to imitate icing on cupcakes in ads
as well, and it keeps a better color and holds
place better.

Speaker 8 (14:54):
If you work in the TV game in the advertising space,
how do they get the perfect effect?

Speaker 4 (15:00):
I'd love to know Lisa and Leppington, you've got a
myth for us.

Speaker 12 (15:04):
Yes, my dad used to work in advertising and when
they used to do the burgers or like the States,
you know how it's just how you were talking about mine,
the grill marks they used.

Speaker 7 (15:15):
To paint it.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh wow, down to the precise point they used to
paint the burgers.

Speaker 8 (15:21):
Yeah, yeah, oh my, is that amazing.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
They don't take a bite in the commercials either, do they.

Speaker 12 (15:27):
Holy because if it's painted with like some politic or
no something, for example, you're gonna want to eat that.

Speaker 8 (15:34):
Because I had another mate who was talking about Crispy
Bacon and he's in the TV game and he was saying,
what they do. You know when you see the bacon
and it's kind of ripped, like it's ribbed, should I say?
And it's corrugated, They actually mold the base of bacon
on a bit of metal that has fine corrogations, so
it looks like Crispy rolled bacon. Hugo in Little Bay.

(15:56):
You've got an advertising trick to your hugo.

Speaker 12 (15:59):
Yeah, We've got an auntie in the US that worked
for advertisement.

Speaker 11 (16:03):
And they use vegamiite on turkeys to make them look brown.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
You're kidding me? What that is?

Speaker 6 (16:09):
Basted in vegamite to make it look cool.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
But that doesn't give you the golden effect though, huyo.

Speaker 11 (16:16):
No, but it gives you those like burnt little crispy
bits that it gets when it comes out.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Of the roaster. Gotcha.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
Finally Americans love vegamine.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Finally using it for something.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
This is the Fits in Whiper with Cape Ritchie podcast.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
I'm still sad we're on.

Speaker 4 (16:33):
It's time for sixty second starts still standing.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Now Tommy didn't want this question in there, but I'll
throwt to you, guys.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
I mean it's a basic one. A pizza starts and
ends with what to shapes?

Speaker 9 (16:51):
U pizza?

Speaker 4 (16:52):
A pizza starts and ends with what two shapes? I
don't mind it, Tommy. What is it to start with
a circle? Square, triangle, triangle, circle and trying?

Speaker 9 (17:07):
I thought you meant when it's gone, all that's left
is the pizza.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
See that's where tom said, there's square, which is.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
Ryan James?

Speaker 8 (19:32):
Now you're going to know a lot more about this
than me because you get on a lot better with
gyms than I do.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
We have a we have a bad pass g y
K G A guy.

Speaker 8 (19:46):
Yeah, And I've pulled into the car park of many gimes,
seen how busy it looks, and I've kept driving because
I'm confused by this one. Now, this article goes on
to say there's a far more effective way of walking.
And I thought, Oh, I wonder if this is like
heel to toe or toe to heal. But the article

(20:06):
goes on to explain that the more effective way and
better for you walking is to walk backwards.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yeah, and in the inningcline if you can.

Speaker 8 (20:15):
So incline walk backwards.

Speaker 11 (20:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah, it's great for the muscles around your knee.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
Right, Yes, says it's great for toning. It's twice as
hard as walking forward, and yes, strengthens your joints.

Speaker 6 (20:31):
In your legs.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Have you been seeing it quite a bit lately.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
No, I haven't been to a gym member.

Speaker 8 (20:36):
I brought that ten pass for that gym in Edgecliff, Yes,
and I walked in once, so I've kind of used
half a pass. I walked in because I got me
through the door. And then I looked around and I went,
this is not for me anyway. I'll go back and
use those ten passes really soon.

Speaker 6 (20:48):
So I got around to it.

Speaker 8 (20:49):
First time I saw this was probably two years ago.
It was the start of the City to Serve and
the gun went off and a guard was walking backwards
and I said, what are you doing, man, I'm walking
backwards and I said it's fourteen kilometers. Anyway, he kept
them all right pace because we had to stop at
one stage for the kids. Then I found myself halfway

(21:10):
up Heartbreak Hill and he's there again, still walking.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Backwards, and he was beating you. Yeah, he was beating
me walking backwards.

Speaker 6 (21:16):
And ohing, Oh god, this isn't great.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
It's it is really good.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
If you go to a gym these days, you will
see a lot of people on treadmills and they will
be walking backwards on an incline. I do it so
where I have to take my lawnmower down to the
to the yard. There's a bit of a hill and
I'm going to do it down a lane way. So
coming back up, I'll do ten hills backwards with the
lawnmower as a workout.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
That's really good for your knees.

Speaker 8 (21:45):
Looking out the window, going oh my god, he's finally
lost it. He's walking up and down with a lawnmower
ten times.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Beck in Narraban, have you been saying this quite a bit?

Speaker 7 (21:54):
Oh, good morning, guys. So at my gym. Then lady
who does salsa dancing actual treadmill?

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 7 (22:01):
She spins around she goes backwards, she goes forwards. It's incredible.
It's mes Maria.

Speaker 8 (22:09):
You'd be standing there watching, I mean, hoping that you
might fall off, just for a bit of entertainment.

Speaker 7 (22:14):
There's a tiny element that you think, surely this is
going to be a meme on Instagram forming make me
famous if my film k oh, yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Seen someone come off a treadmill. It is very dangerous,
but Jesus entertaining.

Speaker 8 (22:27):
So you've got soul, So you've got people. Maddie's coming
into the studio, Matdie. You've seen people at your gym
and is this the thing? Is that walking backwards?

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Is that right?

Speaker 11 (22:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:36):
I've seen so many people at the gym with it
backwards up the hill, like in pairs, just having conversations.

Speaker 8 (22:44):
What age we're talking Fitzi's had bad knees because he
played a lot of professional sport, so I understand if
he's trying to, at the age of forty six, strengthen
his knees.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
Right, yeah, if you're a young person, how old are you,
I'm twenty nine.

Speaker 8 (22:56):
Right, If you're twenty nine and walking backwards on a treadmill,
that stop buying into ridiculous trends.

Speaker 11 (23:03):
I feel like they are middle aged men walking backwards
on the PRIs.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
There's another guy called the slant guy, the slant guy,
and I've bought one off him. It's like a wooden
board and it's slanted. So you do your squats on
a slant, on an incline as well, and you do them.
That's good for your knees as well.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Have to do that too. He does that.

Speaker 6 (23:24):
His knees are bad, so he's on a slant as well.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
He's on the slant.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
Does he walk backwards?

Speaker 4 (23:28):
He doesn't walk backwards.

Speaker 8 (23:30):
So when you get married, right, okay, he's going to
walk down the aislewards, back backwards and stand there and.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
Won't for you can't wait.

Speaker 1 (23:40):

looking at each other whole steer.

all girls from grade three?

Speaker 6 (28:06):
Yeah, I don't see gender in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
But go on, I mean, that's a whole other topic.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
Sorry, it's funny.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
Who was the tomboy of the family, Chrissy?

Speaker 11 (28:19):
Was it you?

Speaker 9 (28:20):
I reckon it was me. I feel like it's funny.
I feel like I'm very sort of gender neutral, and
my kids are too. And just I digress for a second.
When I had kids myself. I had two boys first,
and it was like, oh my god, what do I
do with it? My yeah?

Speaker 4 (28:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (28:37):
And then I had a daughter and what I thought
that was going to be like was different. And the boys,
I just feel like everyone is just you know who
they are. But I saw a book. I saw a
book weeks ago and it's been on my to do
list to bring up with you two because I.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
Just grug, it's not Gruget, it's not Greg, it's not
it's not room on the brim.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Okay, gotcha.

Speaker 9 (29:03):
And I'm just going to say to you, I know
that you're trying to get to the end. Stick with it.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
I can't stick with it.

Speaker 9 (29:14):
I throw a book and the title is this I'm
gonna Okay, I'm gonna I took a photo of it.
I took a photo of it and then put it
in my little photo folder underfits Okay.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Well, I don't know as a man, if I could
read this out of course you can, okay. Best sell
a million copies sold, Why Men Love.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Bitches from Doormat to dream Girl, A woman's guide to
holding her own in a relationship.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
Nothing to the Dogs.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Now, I don't have it, but it's not the greyhound industries.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
It's not, it's not.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
I just.

Speaker 9 (29:53):
Why I can't read this book obviously because I'm still
trying to get through.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
Great and for rot.

Speaker 9 (30:00):
Plus why do men allegedly love bitches?

Speaker 4 (30:11):
Well, but I just love the way you say that
we've got to define this.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
There's going to be a definition here, because I don't
know are we Are you talking about bad girls or
are you talking about nasty girls?

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yeah, nasty girls.

Speaker 9 (30:25):
That's a good that's a good question. I think to define,
you know, b I t h in feminine terms, I
would say that it's someone that can take you or
leave you. Maybe that says mean things sometimes, Yeah, mean
girl that is, you know, not able to be manipulated.

(30:50):
I guess you know.

Speaker 8 (30:51):
Firstly, I would like to say that I don't believe
that it works both ways, as in that women are
traditionally to the bad boy, and we understand that theory
of trying to control or straighten out.

Speaker 4 (31:06):
The bad boy. That doesn't work the other way.

Speaker 8 (31:09):
I don't believe guys have time for what you're suggesting,
and I don't believe that guys are into that at all.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
But we don't have the dedication.

Speaker 8 (31:19):
We don't have don't have the time, we don't care
for it. I'm simply not interested. If somebody is that
type of person, I don't think and I never was.
I never went after a bad girl or a girl
that treated anybody badly. I don't think that impressed anything.

Speaker 9 (31:33):
You know anyone that does. Like, are you friends with
any men that go, She's so mean to me and
I can't get enough of it?

Speaker 4 (31:42):
No, not for one second, and not one of my mates.

Speaker 6 (31:45):
There'll be guys who don't realize their.

Speaker 8 (31:46):
Partner's a stinker. Don't get me wrong, they're blinded to
the fact that she's an idiot.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
That happens.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
No, No, they're not attracted to the ohh she treats
me so badly and I love it.

Speaker 9 (31:57):
I mean, this is an unauthorized throw out. But thirteen
twenty four ten, are you listening to this and going
I'm a man and I'm guilty of this?

Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah, great question.

Speaker 9 (32:09):
I am a man that loves a bitch.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Because the thing is, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (32:17):
I don't know one guy like that.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Can we call them bad girls instead? Like? Is it
because you call it bad boys? Girls that are addicted
to bad boys?

Speaker 2 (32:25):
But can we I don't know that there are men
out there that don't mind being told what to do.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
What.

Speaker 9 (32:33):
The thing that worries me about this book is that
it's designed for women.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
I've just realized, why are you reading those books? I'm
not reading this book.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
I just couldn't believe the title.

Speaker 9 (32:43):
But I'm like, oh my god. If I read that,
it's like a it's a guide book.

Speaker 11 (32:48):
To be.

Speaker 8 (32:51):
So Chapter one, shut up, shut up him with but
you shut your you keep talking.

Speaker 4 (33:00):

Speaker 9 (33:01):
On and on and on with the rubbish sits in.
