Is the Fit and with Kate Richie podcast.
Let's talk about excursions, guys, a bit of an open jesse or no, I wanted to find things.
Just work on one for you this time tomorrow.
Can you put some music on because I want to take you to the next level. Because we got a phone call yesterday which changed everything when it comes to excursions.
Chris called from Sydney Zoo. Have a listen.
Having to work at Sidney Zoo at Ethan Creek, why don't we put on the older moecursion for a school. We'll open up the doors. You can bring all the kids in them behind the scenes, meet the animals, go through education program, throw on ice cream in their hands, get them a splushy. Just give them a good day.
How many could you get through for a tour?
Oh, we could do it.
Then, Oh this is massave. So we can open this up to any school in Sydney.
Well said, fits you put the pieces together? Okay, here we go, and now we got the music.
Who's sang Harry? It was to any relation to Stefan?
Yes, who married mel.
Whatever?
Okay, So from to each day we are going to have two teachers go head to head. Each of them will tell us what their specialty subject is. Right then we're gonna put thirty seconds on the clock and whoever answers the most questions about their specialty subject will be the carryover champ and they're gonna make it through to the next day. On the final day, whoever wins will score an excursion to Sydney Zoo for.
Their entire school.
Wow, shut the gates, there's nobody there. Everybody is at Sydney Zoo.
It's a locking.
It is a locking.
It's a school locking. You get the zoo to yourself.
And as Chris said, you get a slushie, you get a get an ice cream, get a cappy barro, take one of them home.
What is your specialty subject though, if you're a teacher, this is the thing. I mean, if you're a pe teacher, it might be like an an RL team or something like that. But if you do have a specialty subject or yours be sport or bands music.
Yeah, it's a Tommy nineties hair product.
Oh it's going to put food. I quite like food. You both like.
Yeah, maybe tom wine or from the you know, from the French region or something like that.
Champa Es would be good for you.
A lot of your jokes.
If you're a teacher, hit up the wind page right now, you'd be like, you'd be health and fitness or something like that.
I'd be fitness.
I'm not doing any work that's a specialty.
Okay.
I don't think it's an actual subject, tom but if it was to be, then I would be interested in having a look at it.
Slobbery it would be called to.
This is the Fits and Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast.
I had no idea about this, and maybe sometimes you don't. You never really think about it, never crosses your mind. But it's similar to asking the question when I see something, what do you see?
Fits?
Are you seeing the same colors? Are you seeing the same image.
It's a buffet and you can go up there and you can eat whatever you want.
I'm not putting anything in particular, but like when you look at Jess right behind the panel there, looks so great, but you might see something different.
What do you mean color wise?
I mean color wise and the image, So your experience might be different to mine because I see it slightly different.
We're not dogs, It's not like we look at different shapes and stuff, are we.
But this extends into this fascinating color blindness. No, I'm not talking about color blindness. I'm just talking about whether we see the same thing. Like when I look at Jess, is my experience the same as what your experience is.
Like visually, it's it has to be exactly the same, because it.
Doesn't because you might see the color of her skin differently. You might see I don't know her T shirt color differently.
I don't.
Yeah, okay, Because.
This leads into the story about people and their internal voices, saying that when you read something in your head, majority of people hear a voice. So if you're lying you and you're reading a book, then you're actually hearing the words. What's interesting is They say that around eighty percent of people hear their own voice when they're reading the words. Some people don't hear a voice, but they absorb the words. Other people hear friends close to them forces. So you could be sitting in bed reading a book and it would be like you can hear Tommy's voice, like he's reading to you, which would scare the hell out of me. I'm reading fifty Shades of Gray, and all I can hear is Tom's voices.
She slowly on dresses and takes off her bra How soft and reassuring for everyone. Some what we're looking for?
Can you select voices would be good. I could get a Maggie Dent voice or something like that.
It's amazing what the brain can tell you to do.
I've got a mate who played football and he had to give football up because of back problems. Yep, and he went and got He went to a back specialist who said, we can't really find anything wrong with your back. Got a second of opinion, like I'm talking about the worst possible pain. This Paul bugger couldn't move and then his footy career was over. But no one could pinpoint what was wrong with his back. And then a doctor sort of diagnosed said that it's all in your mind.
Maybe it's in your head, and people do and there are.
A lot of these cases where people can the mind can take over and tell you that you have a problem with your body, and you actually don't.
I made of mine took his kid to the doctor the other day because his kid had had a bit of pain in his leg. Anyway, the doctor said to my mate, can you just step outside and have a chat for a moment, And he said, having had a look at your son, I would ask the question, is.
There anything going on at home that we need to talk about?
So he's basically saying there's nothing wrong, everything's okay, but your child is upset for some reason. That is because you know what's even harder with kids like Jack gets into bed every night and something's wrong.
They don't want to go to bed, is why they're.
Delaying, and something's wrong or they want their head patted or their back scratched or something like that. But there's a broken shoulder, my eyes are gone, my eyes are dying, my stomach.
Mild Man's getting like as you get older in life as well, the hypochondriac comes out and it's just anything.
Anything is just like oh no.
Yeah, this is And to the point now where Mum says, like Dad goes to the doctor like every couple of months, doesn't get a full blood test.
He's worried that.
He's so worried he and he's trying to get mum to do it all the time as well, because he's so scared that she's going to leave him before he goes. Oh god, She's like, I just had a I just went and saw the doctors a couple of months ago.
I'm fine.
And how many times can your mom say to him, Mick, just have another Bacardi in the vibrating chair.
He needs a dinner?
What happened?
No, the the massage chair is an absolute joke.
At the moment, it looks like what he's worn it out?
Is he?
It looks like it's horrible.
Hasn't spilled his PICARDA.
Need to get him one, Tommy, it's his eightieth birthday this year.
Oh mate, update the massage chair for me mixed massage chair, massage parlor and with.
A Wi cake whichie podcast.
What an absolute stuff up. This was the head of National security excuse me? In the US accidentally added a journo to a very private security WhatsApp group.
How do you do this?
So there's a bloke by the name of Goldberg and he works at the Atlantic and he was added to the security brief where they go back and forth on topics like the Middle East, and this guy's been added to the group. This has been described as amateur hour and the Head of National Security should be it out.
Some thought it might have been a prank, and then all of a sudden, someone said, get the.
F out taking the role the head of National Security as Donald Trump comes in as president, pretty big role, massive role because there's no other countries that dislike Donald Trump and sort of want to have a crack at your country.
Man, I'd love to be added to a group like this where you sat there quietly hoping no one realizes that you were on it, and you.
Could just read the back and forth ash.
When this story broke, we got an update on whether the Head of National Security has been stood down after this blunder.
No.
So we've seen some of the top Trump officials front the US Senate for a bit of a please explain. They're going with the angle that there was no classified war plans discussed in the group that it was just a general discussion about some of the targets. We heard from the National Intelligence Director Tolsy Gabbard yesterday.
Was there any mention of a target in Yemen? I don't remember mention of specific targets.
It's a lot of I don't remember.
What.
Look, I wasn't there.
I mean there's twenty chat groups running. This happened without something. On a lighter note, this happened with us for a surprise fortieth that was happening, and the person having the birthday was added to the group.
You idiot, you idiot, You've blown it.
This is the Fitzian Whipper with Cape Ritchie podcast. Let's talk about Reggie Rabbit.
Oh, Paul Redge.
Who's the eighty one year old that's in there?
Is it?
Charlie Charlie? Yeah, tello mate, he's done this forever and you're right. Fits.
When this story broke that he pushed a kid at Shark Park after an alteration, he felt like he.
Was a I always get that wrong. An altercation when his pants taken up.
These are not high enough.
I told you I want ankle freezers. Now take my pants up. And then an altercation took place. So it suggested this little kid pushed.
Him and he said he was going for the high five, and Charlie blew up. This was a huge story.
Can I just say, if you're eighty one and you've been Reggie the Rabbit for so long, if you've only pushed one kid in the face, that is an amazing effect.
I felt a bit sorry for him because everybody piled on and he does it because he loves the rabbit Os and he loves footy and he loves getting involved. He then had to put out a formal apology after sitting down with the rabbit Os. So he said, I'd like to apologize to young Benji and his parents.
My actions were wrong. I should never have pushed Benji.
He goes on to say, I will do everything I can to represent South Sydney in the best way possible from now on, nothing like this will ever happen again.
It's tough.
General even albou came out and said that he knows Charlie quite well and said, no, well Charlie, he's stuck up for Charlie.
He didn't push charge. No, No, it was.
A young bulldog supporter as well.
I mean, there's without a doubt he would have been founding Reggie.
And it was ben Benji was the kid and all these mates were apparently lining.
Up for a high five. It would have been there's the mascot.
Get him.
Anyway, he's been cleared by the rabbit o's he's been cleared by the NRL. He can be there in the bunny suit on Thursday night against the Panthers.
It's page fifteen of the paper. I didn't know what to do. Read the Reggie story. Look at do Alipa going to the zoo yesterday. These are the big issues we have.
This is the fitting and with with Kate Richie podcast Goys.
This topic we want to talk about now is to do with dogs and some of the dangers around it. Some of the stories are confronting, so I wanted to give you a warning if you've got kids in the car, it could.
Be quite confronting.
Do you know what, It's a good one to talk about because anyone who's been.
A taxed by a dog before, what do you do.
In that situation?
Because I don't think I don't think you really realize until it's starting to happen. What do I do and what's my next plan of attack? Because I've got no idea what to do here.
It's bloody scary.
There was a story that came out yesterday about a hero's son who saved his dad when two pitbulls attacked him. This was unbelievable. A drive unloading a pack of six dogs, including two pitbull terriers, made a beeline for this guy. The sun jumped into the car and then the dad was attacked and the only thing that saved him and where most of the damage was done was on his arm because he wrapped his arm around his neck so that the dog could get to his neck. So by the time he had three hours of operations where they have to open all the wounds to clean them out. They operated on his shin, he's lower and upper legs, his knee joint, his buttocks, he's right upper arm which was protecting his throat and face. So the sun came out of the car and saved his dad's life. Because it was not looking good and in court at the moment, we were reminded of a story that took place around a year ago where a woman was mauled by two out of controlled dogs Irish wolfhounds. If you remember this story, she was sinking in the mudfits and she had a jack Russell and she thought she was going to die because the tide was coming and she was literally sinking in the mud. And these dogs attacked her as she was trying to rescue and the dog ended up passing away, but she thought she was also going to be killed by the attack that took place.
Well, the other one as well.
Our head of programming here at Smooth, Pete Clay, came in and told this told us this story the other day and just absolutely blew our mind. So, Pete, you were walking two dogs one two dogs, two dogs, two beagles, six year old beagles.
And this was out of nowhere.
You had two dogs come out of nowhere and start and you knew straight away that they are coming for me or for my dogs.
So basically, I got halfway down this road, about one hundred and fifty meters away from the corner. I saw two dogs round the corner and I thought they were with someone. It just was unremarkable, just two dogs walk in the corner.
Yep.
I then crossed to the opposite side of the road because I don't want to be on the same side as them with my two dogs. Side of dogs plant I've got beagles. They were American Staffordshire bull Terriers.
So they were big dogs, muscles. You're thinking, I'm on here.
You know what you don't notice at that stage, I got halfway across the road saw out them a peripheral right hand vision. Just these dogs starting between cars and running towards not on leads, not on leads, no sound, no barking, nothing like. They were just making a bee line. So I quickly looked around at what I could do with my dogs, and I saw a box trailer because there was no enclosed yards at any of that. Over a fence, That's what I would have done.
Right, So you were going to throw your dogs over a fence pud separation because you know, most people try and hold their dogs up, and while your dogs are wiggling and everything, these dogs will just jump.
And it actually jumped up on me anyway. To get my female beagle off the box trailer, they both came around either side of the trailer. They were literally in attack mode, and one jumped up on me, grabbed my female beagle and ripped it down by the hind and just biting to it and she was squealing. Then the second one ran around and went for my male beagle's head, which it missed. It got the lead and pulled cutlets down to the ground where his legs collapsed underneath him, and he hit the atfelt and it went for a bite for the head. I managed to I just had like thongs on it and I kicked it and it started it. It went back. I kicked it in the head. It started it, it moved back, and then I went to town on the one attacking Celery, my female beagle, And you know, all you can do is try and hit.
Yelling out Pete to try to get people's attention.
And in the mid we was squealing right because residents were coming out, and I'm saying to the mom yelling at the same time, going call the police, And I'm hitting this dog. But if you had a piece of meat on the side and you hit it, it doesn't move, It just lightly compacts. That's what these dogs. Heads were like size of a dinner plate. Wow, And so I'm hitting. I then actually did some graphic things, which involved putting a finger into its eye socket and twisting its ear. It let go of Celery a tiny bit. I pushed Celery forward. It then went back down on its tail, and Celery still squealing his blood everywhere. This stage the second dog still standing back. And then I went to town on it again and did as much like people are always trying to bit you. Not at this stag it had locked down. So it's committed to that dog. It's not opening its jaw, so still on the dog. Yeah, So I then went to town on again. It released. I pushed Celery away. It then went for my face. I went to block with my left hand. It bit down on my hand and I could hear the sound that you hear when you break a chicken wing, and it was my bones just breaking.
You have now you have? You did break your hand.
I've got a plate and six crews in there.
So Pete, where's the owner of these dogs?
At this stage I thought they may have been walking, But police have done an investigation with CCTV from shops and the council also have CCTV of the whole attack. It wasn't the owner with them. The owners were at home and just didn't have them secured properly and they got out and they were just searching the neighborhood at six fifty five am in the morning.
So what have they done with these dogs?
They're back with the owners. They put classifications on them. Legislation doesn't allow them to destroy animals anymore, which you know. I'm a dog lover, so you know. But I know in this scenario, if my godson had have been actually walking the dogs, this would be a different conversation right now, because they you know, the way I describe it, If you go fishing, you pull up a big fish, you put it up for the photo, it wiggles. You can't stop the wiggle. The muscle of a barracuda or something makes your go. This dog was just solid muscle, like you cannot Yeah, you cannot go against this dog.
I heard that you have to grab them by their hind legs because they get a lot of power from their hind legs. So if you can take them off the ground, they can't use the.
Force to actually go in and buy more.
So the thing.
I would say with that that he's definitely been brought up with me. But you know, in the attacking moment, that would have given that dog a chance to get to my dog's throat, and that would have been over. Even a bite to the head, they penetrate the skull. What I would say to you at this point is avoidance. You know, if you can get them over a fence, Katrina Warren, let me know if there's a if it's been night, put your dogs in a bin. You just want that separation. Do not just hold them up. No, try and put them on top of a car on any object to separate it.
Any other advice on how you're meant to get a dog off another dog, lie, well, if it's not the hind legs, you rip their tail.
No.
I think some of the things I luckily did worked. But one of the things that people say is if it's got a collar on it, turn round, pick it up by the collar and twist. So you start affixiating the action. So you basically like I went for the choke hold, but my face was too close to the dog, So you never never That was a mistake of mine because I thought I'm going to get bitten in the face here because you're right down next to it. So grab the collar, lift up and twist.
Twists ye jesus.
So what's the ramifications now is the legal action they get fines counsel, you know, George River Council being excellent.
They've kept me update but they can't update it. But they can't actually give me any of the details because of the privacy acts. So they have been issued infringements. The dogs have conditions on them. If they then you know, don't adhere to those conditions. The dogs we seized and then potentially.
And how are your dogs cutlets is good?
Celery has had twelve puncture wounds and still I haven't taken them out for a walk, to be honest. They've got a backyard they can walk around there. But you know, we'll deal with that when that time comes.
But yeah, and you know, you know a couple of blokes that do a few dodgy things. So will these guys end up with a horsehead and their bed? Peter concrete gallus.
You've also seen Richard Wilkins running at you like that at the Smooth Christmas Party, haven't you?
And you could seems from a distance similar head. You couldn't get him on, could you?
No?
No, it's got a big name.
Cameron Dadda as well a choke hold.
Mel Doyle came in to try and settle things down, but it was too late Campbell.
Christmas.
We thought we had to talk because I think a majority of people haven't been in this situation before. I mean, you're obviously making stuff up as you go, but I maybe we get an expert on Tommy to do it. In this situation, you just pete. Like you said, you've got to try to get separation from your dog.
From those dogs, it is totally different when you have two dogs attacking as well. Also I had two dogs. There were two dogs attacking. It changes everything because you know, I've got a lot of friends that do have similar dogs, and they said, I'm lucky to survive this because when two dogs go around separate ways around the box trailer and attack, they literally try.
And this is the fits in Whip with Kate Richie podcast. I like.
Good Skin, Bird Box, We Steed, We.
Can. We got a Yasmin in Klonta. Hi, yas good morning.
How are you pretty good? Yazi?
There was a television show that never worked called Yasmin's Getting Married?
Could you be getting married? What's his name? Yas His name is Joey Joe Olieue, great name. What do you love about Joe?
He's the best He's very patient and I'm good with kids. Funny he gives. He gives really awesome back massages.
I think because really coun't tie because he's what his tie?
How could tie massage for me?
Eclipses everything else better than did he get in with the elbows as well?
He has into the shoulder blades?
Yeah? Yes? Is he heavy on the oils as well?
Actually, I haven't had one with oil before. Maybe I should should suggest that he.
Gave one to me. Joey is very good with the oils.
Okay.
Anything else that you want to chuck into the pros before we get into the cons?
Yeah, probably a good idea to chuck something. And he's a good dancer's coordinated.
Is there a certain type of genre that he dances like?
He can honestly do like any dance kind of like.
He can pop a few hip hop moves and stuff like that.
Yes, get down to do the w Yes.
You whipped through the pros fairly quickly, which makes me feel like you want to move on to the cons.
What are they?
Okay? The first one is pretty recent. So he just got a new car and he called his car Harriet, and he like he speaks it like it's a real person.
Why is a female name? Is it like a sort of a female car?
Or I don't know, it's red to Day is that one? But like the other night he was like dropping me off and then he's just like, oh, who's a good girl. Harriet's a good girl, And I was like, okay, cool.
Good messuse, great dancer and has a female car and he talks to.
Other cons.
You got, oh he used to walk to work barefoot, and like my friend saw him walking barefoot and was like he just not owns.
I'm out, did you want to marry a tie jip?
But he thinks it like makes his feet stronger or.
Oh yeah, and it does.
You know what, that's the thing in summer when you're down the beach and that your feet do get stronger if you're walking along the ride.
Yes they do.
So I haven't tried it up myself, but okay.
So all right, gypsy man, good with kids, back massages, great dancer.
And here's a gypsy Harriet's his car.
Any other cons.
He's pretty I will say he's pretty good with like not being a picky eater, but he doesn't eat onion. And I'm Indian, which is not very helpful because it's like every curry dish.
You can't You've got to have onion in every dish.
Yeah, and then the other The only other thing that he's picky on is he he doesn't really like beer, so he'll like go to the pub with his friends and they'll order a beer and he'll be like sitting there sipping like an up roll or a spicy mugle competition.
I mean, I'll jump in there.
I caught him a gypsy, but there's absolutely nothing wrong wrong with a real man having an apple ole spirts, and.
It also makes it expensive.
Yes, do you like that he is a bit of a drifter like that that he can just wear no shoes And I actually love that about him. You know, I've never met him in my life, but I love him so much.
Does he like you're cooking? Like? Do you cook much?
I'm a pretty harpeless cook, but he's pretty good. I'll give him that.
Yas, how long has this relationship gone for?
Like nearly three years?
Stick with that?
Yes?
The only he's.
Walking to work with no shoes off and then talking to his female car and you think she should stick with it?
You sick? Yeah?
But he's got she's got an elbow in her shoulder blade and releasing all that tension about this.
We're torn on it.
This is the Fits and with her with Kate Richie podcast.
Hey Fits Fashion, let'st fashion, get some cameras, some lights, chest, let's fire it up in here because a while ago Fits, if you remember, I spoke about a silent war and no one is.
Talking about it. And it's the size of the heel on running shoes.
Oh, I thought you were going to go SaaS versus By or Rod versus Gull, scandal on versus Theodore.
No, it's not that war. It's the fashion war of the stucked heel, and it's huge. So you would say since Hokka came on the market, they came in with really bulky shoes.
Well, no, there was.
Can I just say it was howker were the ones that changed the way. It was like Nike and Ada Das were doing this age.
They were doing the massive heel. Yeah.
I think Nike kicked it off.
And remember then they banned it from marathon competitions because it was it was an unfair Advantageah.
But if you look at the Alpha flies now and the Nikes. They're huge, like that's like running on a sponge. You saw a video of me the other day trying them on at Nike and you said, please, don't get those.
Things with the flames on them. And I'm going to go back and get them.
And then I thought to myself, why is no one talking about this silent war that's going on? And what if I wanted to enter the market with my own padded shoe? I mean, how hard could it be to enter this fashion game?
So may't tell me you were going to go down to a local rubber store here in Sydney. What was it called, don't tell me you've done your suit?
So?
I mean, look that's the Puman nitrate. Look how big that one is?
Is that Ned Brockman's shoe?
Yeah? So what I did?
I went down to the phone booth, Oh my god, and said to them, hey, look I need a bit of foam here. I should have phoned a head. And I decided to make my own what I've decided to call the Nike nine stack fits where you'll see on my shoes.
Now I've got, oh my god, what have you done?
I've stuck nine layers of foam rubber to my shoe.
Let's see how Let's see if you're at near my height.
Okay, So because you actually got custom made stat shoes before and then was so embarrassed by them you threw them out.
Oh my god, it's it's awesome being up here. I welcome, well close to the same height.
Welcome to the real world.
So wow, So I had to cut every layer of foam. Who see the stable? Do not push me like that.
I feel like I'm on stilts, rubber stilts, and I want to go down to Hokker and win the silent war and let them know that this is the largest platform running shoe on the market.
Ash.
I think Shock being a big sports running fan herself, you do triathlons.
Who we've ever seen this level of support in a shoe.
I mean, the forty millimeter stack height has been banned, so I don't know what they're going to do with that.
They put you in prison for that.
Did they actually ban the forty mil Yeah, they did, want so all competition shoes are under forty mil legally.
Now, when you were talking about.
It's unfair, it's it's an unfair advantage is in an ASH?
Well, yeah, it's got to yeah, like with the advantage that you get. So I know Ironman who's banged the novaglass for twenty twenty five cons So I mean.
Yeap because in a way, you know where you're going to see these, mate, you'll fall over city to serve the Nike nine stack.
Got ye rubber where let's.
Get some red rubber or something. So you're representing Nova.
Okay, we can paint, we can paint them red.
I'm not taking any orders at this stage, mate, So productions on hot because it actually took me a week to make these outside of my wife was like, what.
Have I married?
Here there's a guy cutting up rubber and gluing it to the bottom of his shoes on you know, I.
Just say as well, finally, how old are your mate? You're forty five? Yeah, forty six. You've finally got to six foot.
