1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Her with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about an interesting item that stuff for sale, guys,

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: and if you're on a piece of celebrity memorabilia, my god,

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: look no further. In fact, I think I went to

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: auction on Saturday. We may have missed the shut Did

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: it sell?

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: Jess?

8
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: You're across this auction?

9
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: What is it? I'm confirmed, but it was auctioned on Saturday.

10
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how much actually went for the great Height.

11
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: The reason I want to bring this up to fits

12
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: is because we've had a guy by the name of

13
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: Richard Wilkins. Dickie the Donkey is another name for him.

14
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: Seventieth Dickie.

15
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: You know what was funny? I watched Watching Watching each

16
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Other nine the other day. They were talking about the

17
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: new Shrek movie coming out, and then they threw to

18
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: Dickie and I think who was alongside Dickie on Saturday morning?

19
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: I think maybe Sylvia Jeffries was there. And they said, oh,

20
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: who would you play Sylvia in the new Shrek movie?

21
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: And she said, obviously the Princess. Fiona said, and who

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: would you play Dicky? I don't know. I just assume

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: the Donkey I don't know you're on fire, mate. You

24
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: haven't lost that. He's still warming up.

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: He's already been Dicky the Donkey on this show.

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: But I believe he was there on this iconic night.

27
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: So let me take you back to two thousand and

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: one and the winner for the Best Actor and the

29
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: Academy Award, Ridley Scott's Gladiator. Russell Crowe Rusty said, everybody,

30
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: get together. We're going down to Darcy's Restaurant, which is

31
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: now closed in Paddington. You need to be there. Nicole

32
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: Kidman arrives a few other celebrities. They kick Hi a gear.

33
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: It's been described as a very very long lunch, massive

34
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: lunch that just continued to go on a long lunch.

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: They were upstairs and at one stage Russell decided to

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: get on a table, raise his hand with the oscar,

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: of course, and stuck it through the ceiling. We are

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: now there's an oscar from the ceiling.

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: You see that every day because they're quite heavy, aren't they.

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: So here they are so one patron said, oh my god,

41
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: look what's happened to the roof. Hey I've got an idea.

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: Get on the chair, guys, Russell, you sign it. Nicole Kidman,

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: you sign it. So being auctioned is part of the

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: roof from the restaurant where the oscaring straight through the roof,

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: so it's like a panel. It's like a battle of casterboard.

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: Signed by Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe. Wow, I quite

47
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: like it. It's unique and it's interesting.

48
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: I like it too. Is there a reserve price?

49
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: Do we know what it's We've got an estimate of

50
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifteen hundred dollars. I just got just

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: sold for twelve hundred dollars.

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: What a waste of money.

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: It's a bit of it's kind of funny.

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 4: I mean, if you've got that money to throw around,

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: it's fund to put in the pool room. I actually

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: do have Nicole Kidman's autograph and it's on a pe

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,239

60
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,720

00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: a piece of paper for me.

63
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: Did they write to Kate or is it just a

64
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: signature ancestor?

65
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: Kate?

66
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Where were you? Where did you the autograph?

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 4: Well, my tutor on Home and Away when I was

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 4: growing up, my school tutor. She knew Nicole and was

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 4: Nicole's tutor in the very early days like BMX, bandits

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 4: and stuff like that, and so they Tom and Nicole

71
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: would go to her house at Wald Beach.

72
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: You please get Nicole and Tom's autograph for me.

73
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: I've still got my autograph book to remember the autograph

74
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: and it was anything you'd go to bed every night

75
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: and go God, I cannot believe I Dad sent me

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: over to our Green, who was a great basketballer and

77
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: sprinter once and it was all there were so many

78
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: people around Kate and I just I was a bit flustered.

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: I got to the front and our Green said to me,

80
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: do you know who I am? And I didn't really

81
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: hear what he said, so I said no, and he

82
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: refused to sign my autograph book. So I went back

83
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: to Dad crying my eyes out, which was a bit

84
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: embarrassing because I was twenty three at the time.

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I went up to Palm Beach the

86
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: other day and there's a guy who looks after us,

87
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: like quite a few houses up there, if you're going

88
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: to rend a house, and he's famous for wearing bright,

89
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: colorful shorts. And I said he turned up to open

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: the house that we'd rented for a couple of nights,

91
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: and I went, wow, got the shorts on again. And

92
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, these ones are brand new. Do they

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: fit all right? I said, yeah, they fit all right,

94
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: and he goes, because they're not mine, they're the kid laroys.

95
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: I said, what are you talking about? He said, well,

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: the kid LAROI hired a house when he was here

97
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: and stayed in Palm Beach. People found out where he

98
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: was staying, and people that make clothes just sent him stuff.

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: He said. When the kid checked out after two nights,

100
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: there was garbage bags of brand new gear. I had

101
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: to take garbage bags of clothes.

102
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 4: To donate Tarot cash across myself.

103
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: Obviously he got the good shorts, but that was just

104
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: the freebies that were throwing his way.

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: It's a pretty cool story.

106
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: That's the best story I've ever told.

107
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: That is what a great way to start the week.

108
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 3: That's such a cool.

109
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: It's such a cool story. Yeah. I mean, if you

110
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: were to get the an oscar sort of stabbed through

111
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: that laminated piece of paper that you've got with Tom

112
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: and Nicole's signature, that would be worth about twelve hundred bucks.

113
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: Good story fits.
