00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: This Sits with Her with Kate Ritchie podcast.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: This one jumped out at mey yesterday and scared the

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: hell out of me. Have a listen to what happened

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: to this woman as she tells a story from hospital.

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 3: Well, they confirmed that there is something in my ear.

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: She goes, there's something in there.

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 3: It's not a moth. Wonderful. She adds that it's curled

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: up back there. So now I'm waiting for the nurses

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: to come back and flush my ear out.

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: I am so embarrassed, first of all, because that's so

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: cross and I'm a clean person.

12
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: But I'm also like, it's an uneasy feeling.

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 4: There's a bug in me.

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 5: It was a spider.

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: It was alive.

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 4: I threw up.

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 3: I'm never sleeping again.

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: I'm never sleeping again. A spot I crawled it. She

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: vomited as they pulled it out. Oh man, And there

20
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: was a big cock croutch on the wall. And I

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: thought that could have easily crawled on to me in

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: the middle of the night, that kind of crawled into

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: places I would not want to go. This poor woman,

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: I was obviously fast asleep and a spider has crawled

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: into her ear. I said, ear, which would be just

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: a horrible moment to find something and wake up with

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: something scratching on your ear drum.

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, because what would the sound of it be, Like,

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 6: I'm guessing it's amplified if that little thing.

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 5: No, that's just in your head on a microphone.

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 6: But that's exactly that's a vira, that's graffiti. Do you

32
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 6: know what I thought was funny about that is the

33
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 6: level of fear. But what really connected with me was

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 6: the fact that she one of the things that was

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 6: upsetting her the most was that she was mortified that

36
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 6: not only the spider was in her ear, but she's

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 6: a clean person. So what would everybody possibly think. I

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 6: think that would be what would upset me is I

39
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 6: can't go to the hospital. People are going to think

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 6: my house message.

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 5: Do you guys remember a competition we did on Nova

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: It would have been fifteen odd years ago, and it

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 5: was called lick it. Does anyone remember lickt And you

44
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 5: had to a ticket to me remember that things to

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 5: win prizes grss.

46
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 6: Was it lick it for the ticket?

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, lick it for the ticket.

48
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: And we had a woman that was a very clean lady,

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: an older lady that came into the studio and she

50
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 4: had to lick a sponge that was found in the

51
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: Nova kitchen, and it was an old sponge.

52
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 5: And I have never seen a woman break down before.

53
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 5: And it was great radio, but I've never seen a

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 5: woman that just she couldn't even pick it up, let

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 5: alone put her tongue.

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: On her And did she lick it for the ticket?

57
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 5: No, she didn't. Unfortunately, those creed tickets went to somebody else.

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 5: Fifteen years ago.

59
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 6: She dodged a bullet.

60
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: And you've woken up with something in your ear? What

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: are you doing? How do you get rid of it?

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: A lessa on the center or coast? What's your story?

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: I was asleep one night and a cockroach crawled into

64
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: my ear and I woke up and it was the

65
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: most horrible feeling and I had to go to hospital

66
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: to get it removed.

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 5: Your e is very It's a tiny little cavity. Isn't

68
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: it a small cockroach?

69
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 3: To put olive oil in it? Because apparently olive oil

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: kill it, because I could feel it moving in my ear,

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: and then they like drained it out once the olive

72
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: oil has gone.

73
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: And you have to sit there and think, I'm not

74
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: in any trouble this can't kill me. I'm okay. This

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: is just a horrible feeling. So do they fill it

76
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: with olive oil that drowns the cockroach? And then you

77
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: I suppose you roll over the seasoning it.

78
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 6: Then they put in some red onions.

79
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: They use your ear like a giant walk is that right?

80
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 2: And then ten people sit around your head and eat

81
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: from your ear? Oh my god, what tradition.

82
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 5: Is that, Leanne in Liverpool? What happened to you? Leanne?

83
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: It wasn't me, It was my dad.

84
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: He had baby cockroaches and we found it out because

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: he couldn't get his hearing aid and toughly, oh, he

86
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: was squashing the yes and.

87
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: Then he had wishes as the humor that made what

88
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: was in the other ear.

89
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: They would have had a party.

90
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been able to hear.

91
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 5: Them when he's when he's hearing a connected as well.

92
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: He would have heard. It would have been amplified. Everything

93
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: would have been amplified.

94
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 4: Just hearing.

95
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 6: Would so many in there? That is just this gross.

96
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 6: If you were a cockroach, though, you see an ear

97
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 6: that's a lovely little hiding.

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: What a tonne of nice little hairy hole. Those little

99
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 5: German cockroaches. They're the tiny ones that breed really quickly

100
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 5: came and they well, they're just there's hundreds of them

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 5: in your kitchen. You can't get rid of that roots.

102
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: What happened to you?

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: Oh I'm on right am I radio? Well, yeah, quite

104
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: a few years ago, I was in my car park

105
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: actually going to a wedding and I got hit in

106
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: the head with something. I didn't know what it was.

107
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: I was sort of duck into the ground, going, oh

108
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: my god. Anyway, I sort of kept going, got in

109
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: the car, and then I started to feel a flutter

110
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: in my head, and so I rang my mom to

111
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: the nurse. She goes, oh, you've got a bug in

112
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: your ear. Get yourself to the emergency. So I took

113
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: myself there anyway, and true, like everyone else said, they

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: pop the olive oil in and you can hit like

115
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: it's sort of fluttering out slowly dying in your head

116
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: or wherever it is. I have no idea. And then

117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: when they.

118
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: Actually pulled it out, it was.

119
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: A moster size of my hand. I honestly my part.

120
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: I just don't know how it would have spit in

121
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: my ear. It was just dusky. I don't know. I

122
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: reckoned flying around and then it put its wings in

123
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: and winter. That looks like a nice spot to go,

124
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: and I keep my ears clean.

125
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: Like what the oh, Ruth, that is horrible.

126
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 5: It's flown out of your husband's wallet.

127
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? A couple of cobs too.

128
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: Don't worry.

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: We have a bit of a laugh, don't we. Ruth's

130
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: anybody got a story? Would anyone have a story where

131
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: you hear about where you get a spider by it?

132
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: But it won't be a spider bite. The spider will

133
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 2: of laid eggs in your body. You know those ones

134
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 2: where you think, I've got a boil on the leg

135
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: and then you cut it open and all these spiders

136
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: crawl out.

137
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 5: I think that's a horror movie.

138
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 4: I don't think that's real.

139
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: That's truth, Kate. You know about that?

140
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think that can actually happen. And

141
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 6: then they run down your leg and you're screaming.

142
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 5: Don't think there has been one reported case of a

143
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 5: spider in designating someone.

144
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: Someone's leg and they crawl out of there and go

145
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: into your ear, and then you're going to get the

146
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: olive oil out again. It's expensive olive oil, you know

147
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: from Cobbram, some really good.
