1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: This is the Fits and With with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: I want to throw it out there if you've caught

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: a trade slacking on the job.

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 2: The thing about trade is is they're either the hardest

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: working people you ever ever met or the opposite. I

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: don't know if there's a lot of middle ground.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: Do you know what the difference is? It's the bloke

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: who owns the business. He's the one that's working hard.

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: And then when he couldn't find any trades and ended

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: up paying his son's mates to come and do some stuff,

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: that's when they don't work very hard.

12
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: Do you know where I think it breaks down a

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: little bit as well? When trades have to deal with

14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 3: other trades, that's where everything just goes to ish.

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: Well, they start mustlinging on like, who's what?

16
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: I don't know what first? I didn't do that.

17
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: Now that was the trade before me that made that.

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: I'm not coming back and fixing it.

19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: No way, who's going to do it? Says the owner

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm reading, reading from this book that we're doing anyway.

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: I want to show this one. It's because this guy

22
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: is Sander. He's sending the plasterboard. Now you'll hear let know,

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: have you got the audio there of the owner coming home.

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: You'll hear the sander working very hard, much more annoying,

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: is that? Okay? So what I'll show you now on

26
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: the screen though, because that's what it sounds like, is

27
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: you'll see that the sander is fast asleep on the floor,

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: and what you're actually hearing is the speaker plugged in

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: to a guy watching a video sanding. So the sound

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: is coming from a YouTube clip of a guy's sanding plasterboard.

31
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: That's what you're going to do on the block, don't

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: It's not bad, is it. I mean, if you just

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: don't want to get through to the next round of

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: the block, that you just got to put that speaker.

35
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: He's shown an inshitty, hasn't he. He does look a

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: bit like he's had a bit of a maybe he's

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: had a big night. He's got his overalls on without

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: his shirt on, so I don't know if he's overheating

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: in that.

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might be. But wonder though, Kate Richie, if

41
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: he's carrying the speaker, he must know that this is

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: a tactic he's he used before.

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: Oh, he's done this a thousand times.

44
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: It's not his first his first radio Tommy Williams. Tommy

45
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: Williams went through about three builders when he did a

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: few renots on his place, and Tommy goes, fits, if

47
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 3: you ever do it, he goes, just set up a camera,

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: time lapse camera. He goes, It's the best thing I

49
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: ever invested in. Because he would regularly come home and

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: then he would confront the builder and go, mate, okay,

51
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: so you had you had three workers just sitting around

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 3: my kitchen doing nothing for hours, and no they didn't know,

53
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: they didn't. And Tommy will go, well, come over, you mate,

54
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: just come and over and look at my computer and

55
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 3: let's just go through the videos. What are these three

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: guys doing there, just sitting down.

57
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: The whole time being paid by the hour?

58
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: I remember I made of mine was moving out of

59
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: an apartment Pott's point, and I had to go around

60
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: there because he said, I've had a cleaner there for

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: five hours. I'm concerned they're not doing anything. Do you reckon?

62
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: You could pop in? So I marched up the stairs

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: of this apartment block.

64
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: He must have been exhausted, had a little rest.

65
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: I slept on the floor. I made it sound like

66
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: someone was seeing the plastic.

67
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: There for three weeks. Somebody help me.

68
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: So I get in the get in the apartment. The

69
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: guy who's cleaning the place out like a leaving a

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: property clean, is sitting on the floor with a beer

71
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: going through an old CD case looking at which CDs

72
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: one might like to keep. And he goes, oh, just

73
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: having a break, said you've been here for five hours,

74
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: there's nothing in here. I ended up kicking him out.

75
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: I said, made good news. You can keep all those CDs.

76
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,840
