Lenny’s a little nervous about one particular thing and Fitz reveals what it is. Plus we’ve got an update on how Bon Jovi saved a young woman’s life yesterday.  

Is it fits in with Kate Wiki podcast.

My son, my youngest son's got his first school discoat and it's outside of school hours, so it's from six to eight thirty pm. You don't think they are fired up for that? Pre rinks at one of the boys's house.

Here we go, Fanta. You can consider.

Rye Beaner No, Kate, there's plenty of Rye Bana.

And lee eels.

Well, he's I want him to wear He's got this red leather jacket, but he pulls out sometimes and does a cut of Michael Jackson moves at Neverland.

That's expensive. I hope he doesn't.

He refuses to wear the red jacket because he can do.

A moonwalk as well.

He has.

He got the gloves without the jacket, the hatwalk.

Yeah, he borrowed some gloves off Tom, some leather gloves.

Oh, yes, I must. I do need to get those back, Yeah, if you don't mind, Tom, only because I borrowed them from the evidence room and I should return.

I don't know why you have them anyway, after you cut off your fingerprints Tom before Yes, yes, what's in the box?

What's in the box?

What are you talking about here?

Oh?

The school disco.

Yeah, school disco. Okay, did you ever do you know what I was?

No?

I went to the school once, but I wasn't no, I wasn't allowed to. I wasn't allowed to go to the blue Light disco at the Campbelltown that civy your dad, because you couldn't. You know, who knows what goes on down there?

You would you would have amazing on the dance floor.

I know that I just had to dance at home in my room alone.

Singing too my hairbrush, to not have any friends because I'd be teased with yourself.

Everything turned out all right, though didn't.

Trigger trigger point.

Abot a bot.

Guys, we're talking school disco disasters in a little thing called the podcast today.

This is the fitz Wiper with Cape Ritchie podcast.

Oasis.

People still trying to get tickets. Are they going to go outside of Europe? We don't know. There's rumors of a North American tour. They come to Australia. I've spoken to a few people in the musical industry. Apparently there's a few people bidding for them to come to Australia. The question is, I mean, will they still be together before.

Well after the first show. I mean, that's the big question. They're going to have to rehearse, aren't they make it to the first show.

When they're not playing until twenty twenty five, they've got plenty of time to rehearse.

But look, I think they will.

I think this will be their last hurrah, like this will be the last time they play together.

They'll go out high.

Like David Walliams said, Noel's now divorce, so he'll try to make as much.

Money as he can and then he can retire.

Java sad thing. And they've had it really good for a very long time. And what we spoke to one Tommy, was it Noasis. The Oasis cover band is in a bit of trouble. Yes, Noasis. So there's some beauty's out there. There's definitely Oasis. No Oasis is probably the biggest one. There's Oasish and the other big one is definitely might Be.

Definitely might be. I would have thought this has be a good time for cover bands, for Oasis cover bands. Why no, Because not everybody can get to the concert, but everybody wants the music, So if the cover vand's good enough. I heard the demand has been.

Through the roof, Mate No, no, it's not because this is the thing. If you've got an opportunity to go see the real thing, how can you rock up to a pub but.

You don't have the opportunit unity Like we were talking the other day secondhand tickets selling for twelve thousand dollars.

No, they're playing mate, They're gonna play.

They're going to end up playing ten Wembley, So you should be able to get tickets at some stage. Like, if you cannot get a ticket to Oasis, you're not trying hard enough.

If you're the cover band, do you just try and do a pub across the road from Wembley, Like is that your target area?

Do you remember the bootleg T shirts when you used to walk out of the Big day Out and there used to be people on the side of the street just selling bootleg T shirts.

People were doing that at the Taylor Swift concert. Some work with a screenprinter at home was just printing his own T shirts and he had them hanging out of a suitcase.

It's highly illegal. So this is my favorite.

There's a there's a there's an Oasis cover band from Indonesia called whatever the band and they're actually they have gone on television.

They that that well, they think they're that.

Good in Indonesia.

They went on local television over there. Can you put it up? They're actually not bad for five guys from Indonesia.

This is a really good effect.

That's so ago. You know who you got? Sadly pray?

Do you have a beautiful game?

There we go morning rain, so you too?

Maybe teams.

I'm not sure he knows what he's saying.

It's pretty good.

What he's fast at the twang, hasn't he.

They never see him?

Also, Tommy red Room, sign them up, sign them up.

Well, they've been called they're they're their best Awasian span of all time.

I love.

This is the Fits in with with Kate Richie podcast.

Lenny Year five first ever school disco Tonight, guys, it's outside of school hours Kate at six o'clock to eight feet all.

So they go home and get ready and come back. Put some gel in their hair, do they?

Yeah?

They do like that.

I tell you what I've already.

He's got a great red leather jacket, but he's refusing to wear a red mate.

Yeah, I said, you look very good and you can do some Michael Jackson boobs.

I don't know's that cool anymore?

Though?

I don't know making moves like Michael Jackson are really okay?

Is it a vintage piece that BJ found him?

If it's red leather, it is, Yeah, it was from an up shop. He's got a mate coming over.

Well, he did have a mate yesterday at our house and they were talking about what dances that they could do.

There's a I don't know, there's a.

Fortnight dance whip or something that's Yeah, the characters do some kind of dance.

Yeah, they do.

It's called a it's not the giddy thing?

What's that thing?

Gritty is popular?

That's what is that rubbish?

What's from grid?

Then one?

It's like Travis Scott or someone does it in Fortnite?

Okay, so are you saying the friends coming over for preese? The what do you do for pres when you're in your five?

It's pre video games?

Do you know?

Also? Is it one of those like it's not a formal like he doesn't have to invite a girl along or anything like that.

This is the thing because he's still in a relationship at the moment. She's going to be there.

Kiss me whenever BJ and I bring up the subject, Oh my god, were the worst parents in the world.

Don't talk about it. I don't want to talk about it.

You've let pretend you're not talking about it. Let us keep getting the fridge or something.

Stand out where the red leather jacket door moonwalk mate, you know what I mean.

You've got a show.

But see this is the thing he had it made over yesterday. He likes another girl as well. They're not listening to us for advice. But I did think it threw me back to my first ever school disco. How'd you go that Flaxmill Primary school?

And he would have killed it.

It was one of the greatest nights of my life.

But do you know what it was, Kate?

It was years.

It was a.

Graduation, primary school graduation which was year seven back then, right, so year seven going into high school after that, and that was our first ever school disco. And what I've spoken about this before, but I do remember is that they employed the school employed a DJ, a young DJ. This guy would have been about sixteen years of age and it only just started out DJing, so ours was similar. It was like the parents came and picked us up, and I remember it was dark outside. It was about eight nine o'clock at night, and all the parents walked into the school hall and they were on the side and they were watching all the kids dance, and they were so proud, and you could tell they're pointing at, you know, all the different dances. And there was one song left and this sixteen year old DJ.

I'm not joking. It was one of the greatest moments of my life. He started playing this song.

For the kids to say farewell to junior school.

Yes, say goodbye to primary school against your parents, and there were fifty kids just yelling out in between that chorus. Some of the greatest lyrics of all time.

I remember coming of age for your FITSI.

The principal just going into meltdown, cut it, cut it, and the kids just getting louder and louder.

Have I ever shared the story with you of Bukers at our first school dance. I'm not going to use his full name, but we called him Buchers and beauty.

I'm not going to say what Bucers has him what that was his name?

Bucus. Anyway, Bucus had a rough one because he was quite a big lad near tourist pants on the dance floor really early on, and emergency calls made and his mum ran another pair of slacks up. Bukers then cut back on the dance for one unfortunately tore his shirt because that's how much he was into it.

What we did, we just need to be buying bigger clothes.

Well, what we didn't realize was Bucers bought a hip flask along. So but the time we got to the after party, Bukers's sideways and as I mentioned, pretty big lad and at one stage he slid down the urinal and ended up lying down. Unfortunately he would have been seventeen. Then someone started to rumble and Bukus caught one on the chin, and a little bit of vomit followed from that, So I remember bit of mucus from mucus from Bucus. I remember the tough part was seeing a taxi pull up, because he was marched out of there, and Bukus got in one side of the taxi and then the taxi drove off. I Bugers had been pushed out the other side of the taxi because the driver wouldn't take him, so the police eventually, but I believe he woke up on the front lawn, so his mum would have found because his son a bit of a mess. And you know, I'm sure he said it was just a great night to catch up with the boys.

What a plow gosh moment.

That is so sad.

We're talking about school disco disasters. What happened at your school disco? Because you know what, you want to impress everybody so much on the night, like it's the greatest.

This is my chance, oh yeah, to maybe catch.

The eye of a girl in my class, kde or do my new dance move, get the cardboard out and do a few breakdance and do a bit of ray gun, A.

Bit of Raygun tonight, wouldn't they with Lenny?

Yeah, I dare say, yeah for sure. Vicky an old tune? Gabby, what happened to you?

Vicky?

Morning guy.

I it's okay, Vicky. In a safe space, you can share your story, Vicky, go ahead, lost Vicky, Tommy, remember I went with the girl who unfortunately she had Bell's palsy and she got very nervous on the nighte and drank too much before haanding vomited at the table before entre.

Did she get the Bell's palsy? From the stress of going to the disco. No, is that what you meant?

I don't know.

We usually it follows an infection.

Was it a brief kiss on the side of her face and then her face just started to drink?

That's not how it.

Were you suggesting that I melt people?

No?

Is Vicky back? Can we please try for Vicky again? Vicky there? Yeah, I don't know what happened, guys, what happened at the disco?

Anyway, I've got an oldest sisters. She bought me the cutest little dress. I'll never forget it. And I was so excited to wear it. You know, it had little shoe string straps, and it wasn't short, not like the you know how girls dressed these days, dresses are really really short. Mine was really modest, but had these little shoesching straps. And remember getting there. It was only there for about five minutes and the strap broke. I went to the bathroom and I was fixing up my dress, excited, was ready to do the nutbush and everything. Just the boy that I really liked, so I really wanted to impress him. I know he liked me. Ended up sitting down the whole night in the corner because I was just too afraid if I got up to dance. But my little boobies.

Night's all out.

Was the worst night.

Ever, especially especially the Nutbush.

When Tina Turner comes on, It's just free for all those little boobies.

You don't need to repeat it. I had that problem having little boobies.

They all start out little and then some stopped growing and others continue grow up to them.

So let's go we go? Can we go to Patty in King's Park? You had a wild night at your school disco? What happened Patty Money Guys?

Yeah, basically, we're in year ten and we decided to have some drinks before the school disco. Had an older boyfriend and myself and the boyfriend supplied the alcohol. Obviously, I stole it out of my parents' breach in the garage, and we all turned up pretty drunk and then got quite messy when someone was kicking in the bathroom. Another girl was yeking on the school brows with her boyfriend, so got canceled. Parents got caught up at that moment. At the time, my dad was a mechanic, and he was the mechanic for a lot of the local teachers at the school, so that went well and couldn't.

Try and restart this.

So that's the thing. People try to calm their nerves and have a couple of drinks before and it never.

Worked, creating anxiety and it it's vomiting on the on the school oval and the whole thing was canceled.

God, Tommy, how did you got Saint Bede's where you went to school?

Really good?

Thanks? Oh boys school? Yeah, riddle make it awkward if you will the fit.

This is the Fitsy and with with Kate Richie podcast a bit of a feel.

Good story for a Friday Coming out of Nashville. John bon Jovi has in fact saved a woman's life. He was filming a new video clip I think for a song called People's House.

I don't know that song.

Reasy still recording.

Yeah he is, he sixty two, God, he's good.

So he's out on location. It's at dusk, around six o'clock, filming on a pedestrian bridge, and while the filming is un folding, he notices, and this is a delicate topic, a woman who is on the wrong side of the railing of the bridge in a really, really bad place. Now, John has actually done quite a lot of work with charities, and he's done a lot of research and I guess education around helping others. And so he's supposedly the media out that are saying that he's he's trained to have these difficult conversations, and it seems as though he supported this woman and coaxed her back into away from the edge, Away from the edge, and to safety. The police department were called and they arrived, and I guess things that continued to unfold. But he was actually there when someone most needed it. I mean a bit of a heroic tale for a Friday.

He didn't PROMI so that he would stop recording music, would he?

And she wasn't a fan, No, No, I don't think it was that.

It's very lucky that she had somebody there to say something to her and to recognize that she needed help in that moment. But I wonder does she turn around realize what it is like that. I think it would help to snap you out of possibly where you are in that moment, to go, oh my god.

I don't know if you are in that position that it matters whether it's John bon Jovi or not.

No, I mean they did have a song called I'll be There for You, did they? I mean, do you think he starts singing some of that?

Yes, that's right.

In fact, I think people got a little bit clever on Twitter and yeah, well it's just those things.

I'll be there if I didn't want to make.

Light living on a prayers another big one.

Well, yes, because she would write great one.

But anyway, very very I mean lucky for everybody involved. And that isn't it funny sometimes the way you know life plays out and where you are in.

That moment, well done.

Who would be the celeb for you, musician actor kate that would would coach you down?

Off?

No one, come on, no, no, I think it would. It would ultimately be I'm not having this conversation.

Taylor Swift would get you down.

For sure for a couple of sweet seats.

I am failing.

I'm failing on this conversation. This is the fit with Cape Ritchie podcast.

Was it Bounce in Paramatta not long ago?

Kid come up to me trampoline?

Yeah? Is that?

No?

Sorry?

Kid come wandering up? Cain, kid, come wandering up, he says. He says, love riddle time, but always I got to stay in the car and and mate for school to hear it. Eyes come into the office say to Tim, we need to shift it because kids want to play it in the car, Tom Good. Families want to riddle.

Yeah, let's do it.

My dads don't want to riddle without them kiddies, well said, you know what I mean, just do the riddles sort of thing here. I am what can be swallowed. But can also swallow you.

Your pride.

Ryan James Fitzgerald, furious she didn't get the first one prides herself on this guard.

I was actually thinking about people anyway.

Well, think if you just want to think about the game.

No people, I was thinking about pride.

Oh sure, swallowing your pride and stuff like that, and I had personal experience kind of stuff.

But anyway, we don't need to get bogged down in that.

What can be pushed but is always stationary?

A button, your temper.

Pushed? Quite a clever one?

Patience?

No?

Perhaps an idea?

No?

Tim okay, an opinion.

No, a belief?

No?

Are we in the right?

No?

Pushed?

Could you please repeat it?

Thanks so much for the opportunity to share. What can be pushed? But it's always stationary?

Oh, like.

A paperwight or something that you know, like a typewriot or something.

Tom is the closest.

So stationary, I think, is the clue everyone.

What can be pushed?

But no, but again, if it is always stationary?

What could be pushed but it is always stationary?

A thumbtack?

No?

Um, what else do you push? That's a piece of stationary?

People on Instagram Live are saying a pen no, or a rubber.

A like a clue, piece of paper.

You might do it in a negotiation.

Limit nope, an offer, push no, the the.

What do you push? The correct answers, but we're not.

No, they're not correct when you're asking for more months, they're not the answer.

Is that what you mean?

You push?

You push the boundaries.

Close because it needs to be stationary.

The envelope, the envelope that is so great, Well push the envelope.

Ye, great job, and it's stationary. The laugh of the riddle mind.

I don't know if for the first time that the kids can tune in it's seven, I wouldn't have gone with that one.

I would have yeah, okay, what about this one covers thirty next week? Well, we actually change it because you keept falling asleep in the later time slot. I am born in the mind, but not in the flesh. I am shaped by experience, both mild and fresh.

I think it's the first time I've fallen asleep at seventy forty five.

An idea, colose, wisdom, a thought, a feeling.

I am born in the mind, but not in the flesh. I am shaped by experience, both mild and fresh know it?

Perhaps an opinion?

No, Tom stop so smarty. I love it when you're wrong.

Yeah. What shapes our experience?

Our mistakes? No, life you've had apes them.

Relationships nearly love.

Shapes our experience.

They live somewhere in form memories. Hello, your memory.

We just did it and said enough things to eventually be wrong.

Sometimes that's how you got to crack the riddle. Coat which you're throw enough at it something you'll stay commanding your mascot.

Hello, good morning, it's my favorite people.

That's not like an audience?

No?

Do you want me to give you a clue?

Yes?

You b Thanks Mandy, have a great weekend.

This is the Fitting and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.

This is quite scary.

It's been estimated that the average white collar worker receives about one hundred and twenty emails a day, or about six hundred every week. Now, Researchers from the University of California showed that every time we're distracted by an interruption at work, such as like the ping of a new email, it can take an on average at least twenty minutes to regain our focus.

So, sorry, microphone is not I got the wrong You've got the wrong mind.

You need to regain your focus date going.

To these bloody emails I'm trying.

To get You'll need twenty minutes on that one.

So alongside the rise of email came that curious term because we get so many emails a day, it's that curious term of inbox zero.

I am okay, So I am.

Can we go through the room now?

I am addicted to having an inbox zero.

You like a clean inbox, don't you.

I can't have unread emails.

I can't.

How can you even achieve that?

How many in your box? What have you got?

I think about it, an let me have a look.

Actually, Tommy, if Tommy you think as well, if if if the average is one hundred and twenty emails a day, and you need to reckon.

I'm about probably be three hundred a day, I would say you.

Because the top there, What does that mean?

Hey, Kate Ritchie has she has eighteen hundred and forty five emails.

That's not bad, Kate?

What is that that I haven't read?

I've just opened them right now. Sunny Life, red carpet, fashion, neda porter, all the right shopping emails coming through, confirmation of purchase, confirmation of purchase.

No, mate, Well that might be my private email. I have a private and.

A work fits. I've actually trimmed back a hell of a lot.

How your hopeless.

What happens to me is the whole thing gets so full there's no more memory, and I can't so I have to go back and delete an entire year from like twenty fifteen.

Well that's do you need those?

I don't know I always think there's going to be something there that I might need one night.

But if you haven't, it's like wearing old clothes in your wardrobe. If you haven't worn it for twelve months, donate it.

Yeah, I think you're right. So, I mean I've trimmed back recently due to storage issues. I was at forty three thousand the other day and I'm now back to eighteen thousand, four hundred and sixty nine.

Do you know what Tommy does? Tommy?

Actually?

Do you?

You have him in different categories, don't you?

So you will put some categories?

Yes, you have to.

Yeah, folders do.

You have that?

Jason in Sylvania, Jays. How many emails have you gotten?

You in?

Brother?

So I used to be a zero person, but I just sort of going to be overwhelmed. So now I've got eleven, nine and five strong numbers.
