Did You Know Fitz And Wip Have Really Bad B.O?! 

Published Dec 25, 2024, 6:00 PM

If you work in a bakery, you smell like bread. A mechanic? Oil and grease. But some jobs leave… well, unique scents behind. For example, we all leave here smelling like Kate’s Manuka honey and Fitz and Wip’s B.O every day. We chat about the unmistakable smells of work, and why some people’s careers are truly written all over them (or at least in their scent). 

Because with Kate podcast, so we get our annual sort of check up.

So you get your blood test.

I think get our age. You've got to start doing it, and it's a good thing to do. It's always great to get your levels done. Go get a blood test and take it into your doctor. So this would have been probably for It would have been about a month ago.

Kate. I said to BJ, how did your bloods go? I didn't ask you about it?

And she said, oh, she said, look, everything was fine except my progesterone levels were up. Progesterone okay, okay, so I'll explain to you, Whip, because I've never heard of it either, right, and ladies, you probably know a little bit more about it. So they said to BJ, come back when you're halfway through your cycle, when the progesterone hormone usually plays it role, and we'll see what your levels are.

Then I'm still confused. I don't know what's going on.

You're doing very well, Fitzy. I'm glad you've committed to this.

So I asked her what is progesterone. It's a hormone that plays an important role in the reproductive system of a lady and the main function of it is to prepare for a fertilized deck to implant and grow.

So she went back.

She gave more bloods and her progesterone levels were even higher. Kate, so the doctor has said to her, I'm sorry, but you might be pregnant.

Does BJ know you're telling this story?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've got.

Has two breakdown series and efforts.

So she could be pregnant.

So she said, I will, I'll do more tests and if you don't hear from me, you're all in the clears.

She said, look, this happens sometimes, like the levels can go up.

Sure.

But then she said to BJ, so, well, congratulations if you are could this happen? And she said, no, this can't happen, and she god, what do you mean? She goes, well, my husband's haid aha. Sec to me, she said, what like a couple of months ago, ten years ago? Club, So there's two options. There's two options here.

Very clear, very clear options.

Are we are we going there?

Is?

This?

Is this the story arc of the next few weeks?

So like we haven't heard back from the doctor. So that's that's a positive sign.

How old, well is that what you meant by in the clear. When you're in the clear, is not pregnant?

How fishy?

If you don't hear from me, you should be okay.

So and then I've waited, and I said, this is actually a good.

Thing to talk about, because I would love to hear from people unexplained pregnancies.

So unexplained or I thought you were going to say, unexpected unexplained is way more.

Interesting unexplained pregnanty unexplained.

Pregnancies thirteen twenty four ten. And I'm talking about now.

The reason is because because even though I've had a phaseectomy doesn't mean it's one hundred percent foolproof. Sometimes that can still get through. That could be an unexplained pregnancy. Or the other option that we have is.

Did you say we might have to introduce a new father into the family and you.

Might be at the singles ball on Thursday?

For real?

Did you have to meet your dave really lovely to meet you mate? Come on in, come on in.

Did you have to say, honey, obviously with the operation that I had, and there's no other way that you could be pregnant, Am I right, sweetheart?

And then if you're I don't know if that was me that you get a little bit offended. I don't know about people listening, but you would, I would say, I mean, very calmly, of course, I would say, are you serious?

Are you really asking me that question?

Like if the doubt is there, that's a full on question to ask in it yourself, like is there any other way?

Probably have some results. So as a doctor, if I have A and plus B and an equal C, and then obviously it's fair to ask based on the information I have, Well, it.

Depends how you are. It depends how you are.

But there's also there's also sort of around that age as well. Progesterone levels can be quite high. It just happens with cycles and things can happen like.

That, and everything starts going a bit crazy because how old is BJ and how old are you?

She's the same age as I am.

So she's forty seven, okay, yes, so yes, So around that age things start to happen and they lead to other things. So she said, look, don't get but it's just it was that moment we were both in the car, She's and she's going, oh, honey, honey, I've got something that I need to tell you that my progesterone levels were even higher than they were the last time, and was what I said?

Could that? And I don't like to bring up this word. Is this leading? I don't know. I don't understand it. It was this leading into menopause? Or is this she said? No, she said the doctor told me I just have to check to see if I'm pregnant.

Congratulations, mate, Did you have a moment like that's into all seriousness, take the medical side out of it. There is a moment where you and BJ at forty seven, are driving in the car with two young, healthy, teenage boys.

You're going into a new chapter of your life.

Did you consider that you could be starting all over again? Imagine having a baby in Fitzi's house.

There was a moment.

There was a moment where she told me and I was she was driving, I was in the passenger seat and I was looking out.

I just looked out over the passenger's side, just into.

And I was thinking oblivion.

Could we do it again?

The first thing I thought about is Huey's going to have a little brother or sister at the age of fifteen.

Isn't that good?

Yeah?

But no, but it freaks you out?

Yeah, Well, it wouldn't even be on your radar, I would imagine.

I mean, I'm not having a baby. I just said that hoping someone just tuned in. Yeahs with Cape Ridgie podcast.

Please call this morning if you are in your car right now and you are heading off to work. And I don't want to generalize, I do think that if you tend to start your day.

Earlier, you might have a stinkier.

Jawl because it's probably more hands on. It's more hands on manual trade.

Yes, do you agree?

Fits?

Yeah, I agree.

My first ever job was at Colony Furniture, and so we had to take the nails out of the wood. But we had this huge sand and next to us, so you were just basically, by the end of the day be covered by timber that was just being these huge planks of timber that was going through the sand. It's actually quite a nice smell locate us. Yeah, I saw as far.

As the smells go, you'd go sawdust over fish guts.

Well, do you know what it might be like? Fish guts is a big one, like a fishmonger and somebody that's constantly got their hands in it, and it's hard to wash off, Like you know, when you go fishing, and I always then come home and I wash my hands with soap and toothpaste. Just yeah, I add that into try and get the stink of an old pilch it out of my hands. But then even if you're like a butcher, yes, like it's not an offensive smell, but if you lived with it, Like someone gets home and they kind of always stink of that and they're.

Clothed sick, you can you smell like meat? I mean my.

Husband he was a chef. He's a chef, and he would come home and he would smell like.

Is it garlic?

No?

Is it me?

You know, food like oil?

Right, it's just because it was in a hospitality and you're right, he was washing the kitchen down at the end of the night.

But still not.

What if you're coming home and you're a baker, So do you then come home and smell like a freshly cooked cross? Yeah, you know what I mean?

And then yeah, and then you become quite attractive. Imagine if you had a big breadstick coming home to you at every mor.

Can we ever check at Daniel and Mount Drew? Daniel, what's your particularly stinky job?

Hey, guys, mine is pick up the fato and bow and from the butchers. So the offcuts and all that gets put into a bin and then I the machine on the back listed into the back of the truck. And yeah, fairly smelly in summer.

What are you doing with it, Daniel? Do you sell it to mix with fertilizer or.

What it does get made into different products. But it goes out to Route Hill. But unfortunately at the moment they're trying to shut us down the APA because of the houses being built.

So it because of the smell. Yes, yes, yep, you guys were there before the houses.

Were They've been there for eighty five years.

But anyway, Daniel, hair, does your wife go with it? Does she is? She does? She struggle washing because if.

The boots aren't allowed anywhere near the house, the clothes aren't too bad. Look, it's not. It's not always that bad. It's summer.

It can be worse, but it's and what do you do once you go to product to.

Get out Martney is a lot of fabric soft, do you know?

I mean, Daniel, it's not about it. It's not as about as someone that might pump one of those portalos. You know, you got your on side temporary stinker and someone has to come and drive, someone has to come and pump that thing. Yeah, that is.

I saw a young lady doing that the other day and BJ and I stopped the car and we wound down the window and said, good on you.

It was unbelievable. She was pumping it out. We could smell it like a longit away cap. We're going with is it coming from? She was pumping it out of Porterloo's.

We got there and we're like, that is an amazing effort. She gave us the thumbs up too. It's like, yep, I'm used to it.

That's so nice. You're showing your appreciation.

Abati Abatis are shocking.

Oh yeah, my godfather worked in the Abatis.

Really Christian in Quakers Hill, Christian, what's the job? Christian?

So I look at a supermarket and we have to smith bag of chicken to see if it's off or not.

Christian, your big smith, that is.

And it's funny, isn't it? Because chicken.

It's like it turns us a funny. There's a little green color like it yellows, doesn't it?

And you can get that with cancer?

Christian after all of these years, Christian do you still have a bit of a dry rate here and there? Or six months?

Okay? Do you eat chicken in your own time? I don't think you're going near chicken.

And how many chickens are you sniffing a day?

The worst body bags of chicken?

Oh my god?

Can I ask you? This is so I didn't realize this phone would be so exciting coming. If you have a stinky job.

Do we just go to what is the worst smell of the water?

No, we do not.

I want to know, Christian, if you have a nose for off chicken or even chicken that's just turned, because that's very important.

Is your nose switched on for other things?

Like?

Are you the go to in the house for checking the milk even though it's out.

No, it's usually just to have the work here. They're probably more experience. It's really just smell. It's really bad.

On the other foot, though, On the other foot, how's the smell of a fresh chalk?

Though?

I would I could sit there and sniff s baudy bags or just roast roast.

Don't think you just meant a fresh one that's not off like I want that?

Yeah? But why am I the one in the house. Whenever something's under question, Lisa will go, can you just have a zip of this milk? Can you have some of this yogurt? Because you have other guinea pig that has to test this and then vomit in the thing?

No, you have guts of steel? Is that what it is on the inside and the outside?

Thank you with a cake, whichie podcast.

I want to talk about leaving work with a bang. And I know you know what we all I think we all have a job at some stage where you don't enjoy it, I think, and that's the best thing about it.

Actually.

I saw a documentary recently of these chefs, these world famous chefs, and they were saying, what's the best restaurant that you've worked in? And they all said it was the crap Ones that they first started in because it taught them resilience.

And they always say that, don't they.

And I thought, that's you always.

You always need a few crap jobs to realize how good it is on the other side.

And that's why we've had a crap job.

Here at Nover for so long, because we're always looking for the the grass that's greener over the other side.

But is it but is it that's the that's the big proper.

I want to talk about a Mexican news channel. Have you got any sort of Spanish music in the system there?

Jest, you're trying to get crazy with us soon, don't you know? I'm stop doing that with your Yeah, you're talking to you would have been doing Mayni's back in the day in the nineties to this black.

It was just unfortunate that there was an employee there who was not happy, who was not happy with the station, been there for a long time, wanted to get out and thought he would go out with a bang.

So one was watching for solar eclipse live. He put up a photo of his testicles.

What do you mean it on the screen or you're going to need to give me more details about where his plumbs appeared.

So everyone is watching, don't get dragged down.

You have to get dragged out in the details. So they're watching a screen fits so.

That yeah, they're watching as the sun it's oh my gosh, it's really it's nearly fully blacked out. And then all of a sudden just popped up on the screen just for a split second. Crowd, if anyone, it's just the man's genitals and just that bit.

Just which angle?

Great question.
