1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you where they're policing that sort of high

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 2: fat dish turkey. Do not go there. Overweight people are

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: being publicly weighed. Let that sink in publicly weighed. And

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: if you want to work out how this how this happens.

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: These people are going about their day as they are

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: wont to do, going to sports games, catching the tram

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: whatever bus train, and then out of the blue, medical

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: examiners like plane clothes police randomly are doing spot body

10
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: mass index checks.

11
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: What fat police.

12
00:00:53,720 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: Yes, they put them on scales for public weighing. I'm sorry, sorry,

13
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: that is fresh hell. And this is coming from somebody

14
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: whose first public weighing would have been ten years old.

15
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: At Weight Watches meeting.

16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: I I had to get up in front of Joy

18
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: and Pan who had little badges and say, oh yeah,

19
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: I've put on point four? Oh god?

20
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: Is that what you had to do? Is that?

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: What?

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: What were they called chrissy like? So you signed up

23
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: to weight Watches and you'd have to rock up in

24
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: front of other people and do that.

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: Every single week. You would queue up to get on

26
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: the scales and then someone would record your weight on

27
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: a little card.

28
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: You get a badge, and then you would get some

29
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: more recipe suggestions.

30
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and you'd have.

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: A point system. Wasn't it was like a number system?

32
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Well not when not? When not? When I was in

33
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: primary school, it was like, you know, you'd have to

34
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: tick a box. It was fresh hell? And then what

35
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: about it? At school? They used to have this grid

36
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: with squares on it. Do you remember or is this

37
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: just like a problem. You would stand in front of

38
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: it and then someone would count how many squares you

39
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: you know you were blue? Yeah? I mean what about recently?

40
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: I mean this is probably just my my personal fresh

41
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: what about recently? There was a story an airline might

42
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: have it. I remember this.

43
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: I remember this.

44
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: If you looked to be you know, in a in

45
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: a slightly larger body that is considered normal, you would

46
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: be scanning your ticket to get on the plane, and

47
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: the flight attendant would say, can you just stand on

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 2: these please, I've got to check your weight to see

49
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: if you are containing within your body excess baggage, and

50
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: then they would charge you fatty.

51
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's annoying because I was always smuggling drugs. That's

52
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: why I looked so big. Extra.

53
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: I mean to go to it. I mean the AFL Now,

54
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: I think there's certain clubs that don't do skin folds

55
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: anymore and check your fat content because I remember that

56
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: was always coming back from off season. Was always daunting

57
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: because you would do it in front of the team,

58
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: but there were guys that would embrace it. I remember

59
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: Tony Lockett standing out the front of all the players

60
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: holding up a cricket bat when I've worked in walked

61
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: in on my first day at the Sydney Swan Swanye,

62
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: Why is everyone giving him a standing ovation? He was

63
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: holding up a cricket back because he just got a

64
00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: hundred in his skiin folds he came back. That's the spirit.

65
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: I went to Jambaroo over the summertime.

66
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: What's jam That.

67
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,279
Speaker 3: Is where you control the amusement part. Yeah, magnificent.

68
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: So Jambou it's like Went and Wild and it's awesome.

69
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: And they have public scales because you can't be over

70
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: a certain weight to go down one of the water slides,

71
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: so all the everybody's playing on it, like all the

72
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: kids are stepping on it and you're weighing yourself. If

73
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: you're larger, you have to go and stand on it

74
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: with just your board shorts on, because you've been on

75
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: every other water slide, but to go on this water

76
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: slide you have to go and check your weight.

77
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: And I it's like a little bit scale too. You

78
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 2: are a dirty animal, it is. Were you close, like

79
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: you know, was there just a pooint it and you

80
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: would have you would have got gotten under.

81
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it was over. An alarm went off and then

82
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: I was tranquilized and sort of marched out of there.

83
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: Vines collected you and suspended you over.

84
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: Why what's the best ride of the day?

85
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: You got the nickname Jambrong.

86
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 2: The first ride was the ride home in the car.

87
