1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 2: Let's talk about stairs.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 3: I still happened, sure, I mean it's best to have

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 3: total control going up and coming down.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Is that rail never had a running with stairs? Got

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: a rail until over the weekend. You do have a rail.

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 4: The thing is I was I was holding a wind

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 4: up hose, you know those wind up hoses look just

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 4: there there and I me got it from Bunnings and

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 4: I was walking down the stairs with the wind up hose,

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 4: but the nozzle at the end of it was a

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 4: bit too long. So what happened I stepped as I

13
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 4: was going down the stairs. I stepped on the nozzle

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 4: and it's completely flicked my legs out from underneath me.

15
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: Images and I've gone down about six steps, landed on

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 4: my elbows on the corner of the stairs.

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: So you fell back or forward backwards and then down

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: the ra elbows.

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 4: And thirteen twenty fourteen, if you've got into a fight

20
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: with the stairs, did you go forward or backwards?

21
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 5: Yeah?

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 4: So I've hit the deck and then there's a sense

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 4: of sort of shock, and then my wife pushed me

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 4: down another.

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: Sense of steps that didn't work.

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: I've cut my little toe open, pretty bad blood everywhere.

27
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 5: Carpet.

28
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 4: I looked up the top of the stacks and my

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: mum was there laughing.

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 5: I mean I probably would have been with your mum.

31
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: Was it was the carpet on the stairs or just timber?

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: No, we're not a carpeting not a stair carpet type

33
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: of person.

34
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 5: I know what those types of people are.

35
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: No, No, we don't know.

36
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 5: I don't.

37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: I don't you think concrete steps? Yes, they do because

38
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: people slip. No, no, you know what you just use?

39
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: Usually stairs are just timber, you know, so we just

40
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: used timber.

41
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: You want, you can have carpet on steps runners.

42
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's Mike's bed?

43
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 5: He was the premier of New South Wales.

44
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: He had his socks on in the middle of the

45
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 3: night heading down the stairs and whoopsie Daisy did himself

46
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: a terrible mischief.

47
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: I don't realize how sharp and how dangerous stairs are.

48
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 4: And if you're going down front, waise you're in a

49
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: fair bit of trouble there. But it was just shot.

50
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: I was in shock. Colleen's given us a call from

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: picnic Point. Did you ever fight with the stairs?

52
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: Colleen?

53
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 4: Yeah?

54
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: I see, Hi, guys, I was walking my I think

55
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: there was just one the twins. One of them threw

56
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: a paddy so she sat down. I kept I turned

57
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: to keep walking and I fell down our marble staircase.

58
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: Oh what was the damage, Colleen?

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Compound fracture, bones through the skin, Harry Potter U. And

60
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: so my arms shrunk in half, my forearm. I called

61
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: the ambulance. As the ambulance turned up, they gave me

62
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: the blue whistle for the pain. And my three year

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: old daughter said, I can blow. And so she's stuffed

64
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: with warfing still and the dealers had to chase her

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: because she in the thoughts.

66
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: So, Colleen, it was it was your wrist to punch

67
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: through the skin was far.

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Hard.

69
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: So now is your arm shorter than the other one now, Colin?

70
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Because of that, no, I've got I've got two steel

129
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 7: My mom still can't get over it.

130
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: Using did I break anything?

131
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 5: And I was crying?

132
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 6: I suggest to fingernails.

133
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,400

134
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: Alex from Southerland tell us about your old man Alex.

135
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 8: Okay, guys, Yes, so the old boy had a few

136
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 8: drinks after work in the city and probably had one

137
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 8: too many, and he was at Central train station there

138
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 8: and the huge set of escalators yep, and he literally

139
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 8: tumbled the entire way down from the top to the bottom.

140
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 8: But due to the excessive libation, he was able to

141
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 8: stand up and didn't even have a bruise.

142
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 2: On him because he was loose.

143
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 8: That's it. That stuffed himself off, jumped from the train

144
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 8: and came home.

145
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 5: He just flopped his way down.

146
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't tense up at all.

147
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: There is a fury behind that, isn't it.

148
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 2: If you if.

149
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 4: You you can stay relaxed and keep rolling it isn't that?

150
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 4: The number one number one rule for park All, park Hall,

151
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: park Hall, park Hall is that right.

152
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 2: Hurt their wrists and elbows and things.

153
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 8: Is because they tense when they fall and then they've

154
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 8: fallen and they've broken their.

155

Speaker 7: Yeah, so I was about seventeen eighteen going I was

159
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 7: on a cruise. Then we were going down the stairs

160
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 7: towards an excursion. The boat had docked and We've gone

161
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 7: over a bit of a wave and I've kind of

162
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 7: lost my footing and rolled my ankle, which isn't that bad,

163
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,000
