1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: Parenting has changed, Mate, it's changed over the years. And look,

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: I don't mind it now because it's all about being

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: positive and I understand that it's all about complimenting your children.

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: And you know, coaching is exactly the same, and you

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: know back in the old days it was completely different.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: So for an example, at the moment, and I've been

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: really enjoying this, but I watched Huey play football and

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: I take so he said, can you take my stats?

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: I'd like to know what my stats are in the game, Kate.

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 3: So what I do?

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: I take his stats and then I'll write a little

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: review of the game. And it's all compliments what he

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 2: did right, and you know, all the good stuff that

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: he's done in there.

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 1: So you write that down and then you yell out

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: the bad stuff during the game.

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: You do that my game, Yes, absolutely slay the umpires

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: and then I get stuck into the coach for playing

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: him in that position.

21
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: No, but it's all about compliments these days.

22
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: And you know, you don't want to wrap them in

23
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: too much cotton wall, because you know, every kid or

24
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: fail us at a certain stage. But I remember back

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: in my old man God, just my ear would be

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: chewed off in the car on the way home from

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: a footy game. So I feel like you're complimenting your

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: children all the time now, which is a great thing.

29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: I just want it reciprocated.

30
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: You don't get it, say, I haven't told you this,

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: But the other night I was lucky enough to be

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: inducted into the Australian Little Athletics Hall of Fame at

33
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: the age of forty five forty seven four. What did

34
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 2: you do? Just you know, from when I did Little

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: Athletics up until under twelve's code.

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know.

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: This, but there's still a couple of records floating around

38
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: that no child has got near. And if they do,

39
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: I will be down to the athletics track and I

40
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: will be giving them a corky because I'm very proud

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: of my high jump and my long jump records that

42
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: I still have. And you know the commitment that we

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: made to Little Athletic when we were younger as a family,

44
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: and I got up and they interviewed me and it

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: was it was a really big occasion for me because

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: I said it was huge for our family because I

47
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: do remember Mum and Dad used to take me down

48
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: to the Green and White the nor Longer Little athletics,

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: and then afterwards we would go back to someone's house

50
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: and mom and Dad would get completely blind and have

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: a few drinks.

52
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 3: And every Saturday, that was our routine.

53
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: And to walk home.

54
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I had to walk home or sleep under

55
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: someone's kitchen table.

56
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: Okay, oh, so good old days. So Kate, I bestowed

57
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: this huge honor.

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, this and this is wonderful. And I feel a

59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: little sad that you didn't bring it to the table

60
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: so we could celebrate it for you, because I know

61
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 4: something like this, What do you mean, just a few

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 4: words of support, maybe a little plark for the office,

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 4: like this stuff is important too.

64
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: We tried to plant someone to break the record on

65
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: the show not long ago.

66
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 5: Okay, we couldn't find anyone under nine years that could

67
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 5: jump as far as HITZI.

68
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: We thought it's time to smash it. They couldn't.

69
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: Was this is the thing, you know, like, I don't

70
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: need I don't need satisfaction from you guys.

71
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: I need it from my family.

72
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: And you know what, that's when I decided to take

73
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: my two boys along to the.

74
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: Australian Little Athletics Hall of Fame.

75
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: I would have loved it.

76
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: They didn't give us stuff and I got quite emotional

77
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: about this.

78
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: Where you know, we rocked up at six thirty. I

79
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: was early Kate. I even dressed up.

80
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: You put on a little suit, suit on a shirt

81
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: and you know, for me that's quite large. It's going

82
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: to be a pretty big event for me to put

83
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: on a bag of thro itat that's royal. So I'm

84
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: going to show you some videos of here of my

85
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: two boys while we're at this official event, the Australian

86
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: Little Athletics Hall of Fame. So the first one is

87
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: it's just the boys as we're having a few drinks

88
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: and we see people there.

89
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: The boys are sliding down the.

90
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: Stairwell while people are coming up the stairs.

91
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: Sure, that looks like a good slide though down there.

92
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: So I've had to yell at them there right, this

93
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: is okay. So we're waiting. We had to wait forty

94
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: five minutes before proceedings kicked off. The next next video,

95
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: this is Huey's body language here he's given up while

96
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: everyone's looking at him. Cap He's got his head in

97
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: his hands going this is so boring.

98
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: I also like that you've gone the suit and they've

99
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: gone the flannels.

100
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: They've gone the flannel shirts or that. Let me tell

101
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: you this, that's dressed.

102
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Up for my boys, right okay?

103
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I took my mum and dad along

104
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: as well. And this was the one photo that we

105
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: got from the night cap.

106
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: Oh, no, the d Will you look happy?

107
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: I was drunk.

108
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,239
Speaker 4: No, she looks lovely and Dad looks lovely.

109
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: Dad.

110
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: But the boys are completely disinterested and fingers in their eyes?

111
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: Did you give them a can of coke?

112
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 3: Like a half hour before? It was on a Friday night.

113
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: Huey spat the dummy because I promised him that he

114
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: was going to have pasted her before his footy game

115
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: on Saturday.

116
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: We didn't get past. Oh we got was little sausage rolls.

117
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: And Lenny's rubbing his eyes. He's had a gutful Lenny.

118
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: Lenny's got this problem that when he's bored, he cannot

119
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: sit still. I grabbed his leg, I said, mate, you

120
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: have to stay still, and he couldn't physically stay still.

121
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look how proud you are with a big smile,

122
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 5: just hoping someone cares. And as we look around the

123
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 5: room and down the line, and the photo turns out

124
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: no one does, mate, but you're smiling. Even the guy

125
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 5: in the background whose photo bombed, he doesn't care.

126
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 4: He's sparling.

127
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: He's looking up to day when I got awarded it

128
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: as well. It was it was nine o'clock and the

129
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: boys had footy.

130
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 3: The next day. I to go up with the president

131
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 3: and just go, mate.

132
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: I know there's some great recipients that are coming up,

133
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 2: but we've got to get going.

134
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 3: Sorry, we didn't even stick around.

135
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 5: You're kind of telling him that you didn't care as well,

136
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 5: and he thought someone cared, which was you, And now

137
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 5: you've told him.

138

Speaker 3: Thank you very much. And for anyone I love athletics.
