Speaker 2: going to talk about this.

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 3: But it's only a three thousand dollars maximum fine for

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: poisoning a tree.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: I mean, if you've got to.

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 3: If it's if it's if it's getting in the way

10
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 3: of your view, are you prepared to pay the three gram?

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 4: I want me how much value does it add if

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 4: you have the view? I had not my tree poison.

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 4: I'm a drink poison.

14
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 5: A while ago, it was just me.

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: You poisoned yourself to my own drink. And you should

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: stop eating those mushrooms. That mushroom pie that you have

17
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: in front of you, that.

18
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 5: Was really nice. Thanks for making that mate. You're sure

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 5: it's safe to eat.

20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's totally fine. Beef Wellington, it's one of my favorites.

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: Allegedly allegedly allegedly, yeah, allegedly. No, nothing will happen to you.

22
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 5: Okay, this is with Cape Ritchie Podcast.

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 6: Mother's Day's coming up. Guys, you've got very important women.

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 6: You're very important women in your lives. And I just

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,639
Speaker 6: want to say, like, birthdays are great. I love an event,

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 6: I love a celebration, I'm mad for it. But Mother's

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 6: Day is kind of my favorite out of all of that.

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 5: As a mum, it sits up there at the top,

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 5: does it?

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, because you know, I feel like I really do

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 6: require some celebration of that particular role. Like birthdays are great,

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 6: What did you do?

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: You just got born?

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 5: Whatever?

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, congratulations at your birthday? What for surviving another three

36
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty five days?

37
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: Exactly?

38
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 6: All I did was come out of the canal.

39
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: Not really that much achieve.

40
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: Now do you enjoy more of the kids looking after

41
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: you for the day or look at you looking after

42
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: Paddy for the day.

43
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: What do you love more?

44
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 6: Oh?

45
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

46
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 6: I've got a mother, that's the thing.

47
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

48
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 5: And if you're a new parent, can I just point

49
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 5: this out.

50
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: Mother's Day for me was always about my mom, and

51
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: then when Lisa had children, I never thought that it

52
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: was about Lisa.

53
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 5: I thought it was about my mum.

54
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 4: And on the first Mother's Day, I failed and I

55
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: think I bought her a bag of Lolli's and she went,

56
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: is that it.

57
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 6: First Mother's Day, you brought her a bag of lolly.

58
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, almost in a rescue mission because she felt like

59
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: she should have something and I just missed it.

60
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 5: Stay up, I don't.

61
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: Get it right. Every time I've got a question for you,

62
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 2: I need an answer.

63
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 7: On this last year Mother's Day, put up an Instagram

64
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 7: post and put up a beautiful photo of my mother

65
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 7: and BJ and what they mean to me. But then

66
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 7: I was thinking to myself, do I in an Instagram

67
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 7: post to celebrate Mother's Day?

68
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: Do you have to put up your mother in law

69
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 2: as well?

70
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 5: No? No, no, no no.

71
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: It's an itat serious.

72
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's a big part of your world, but she's

73
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: there's no right or wrong, Ryan James.

74
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 6: If you taylor the caption to be about the important

75
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 6: mothers in your life, yes, I'll look.

76
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: Just do it.

77
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 5: It just saves so much going to double.

78
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: For her for Russia.

79
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 5: Okay, well, there's a.

80
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 6: Imagine BJ's mum and a set of cherries of Russia.

81
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 6: I mean I'll pay anything for that. That would be

82
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 6: a great Mother's Days.

83
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: You're taking it too far, Chris, for securities.

84
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 6: I want to take you through my perfect Mother's Day

85
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 6: and it'll give you an insight into.

86
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: What we really want.

87
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 6: Okay, so it begins with waking up alone. I would

88
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 6: love to just wake up and open Miyes and as

89
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 6: a little treat, not have to flee my bedroom as

90
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 6: if I'm leaving a burning building in order to start

91
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 6: poaching eggs, organizing shoes, screaming at someone about why put

92
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 6: that in a line.

93
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: You wouldn't be able to do it, though, this is

94
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: the thing. You say that, But you wouldn't be able

95
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: to do it. You wouldn't be able to relax. You

96
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to sleep in. You can't because your

97
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: body is trying to do that every time you need

98
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: a hotel, right, true.

99
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: It's true.

100
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: We run on adrenaline, us mothers. And I don't want

101
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 6: to sleep in. Actually I want to get up very

102
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 6: very early. But I want to be by myself and

103
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 6: I want to potter around my house in the dark,

104
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 6: just like scrolling Instagram and making a coffee and I

105
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 6: don't know, saying hello to my dog, all that sort

106
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 6: of stuff, just quiet and peace.

107
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: She is maybe getting the sheares out and just clipping

108
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: a few rows.

109
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 6: What, oh my god? That is featured on My Perfect Day.

110
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 6: A little bit of a loan time with my secreateurs

111
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 6: and my.

112
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: Blow up pretty keen on pruny.

113
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 6: I am, so here we go. We wake up alone

114
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 6: and early before sunrise, and then I just potter around

115
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 6: the house and I do nothing. Then I put on

116
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 6: when I feel like when I hear the first tweak

117
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 6: tweak of birdies. I put on some runners and then

118
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 6: I go for a walk around the corner and I

119
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 6: get a croissant and another coffee, and then I eat

120
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 6: it while I'm walking.

121
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: Maybe flying by then near two coffee.

122
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 5: That's interesting.

123
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 6: That's just the beginning. Then I come home and I

124
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 6: put on my gardening clothes, which I keep in a

125
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 6: very special drawer. You should see me in my seven

126
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 6: xl kmart T shirt, holy bicycle shorts. Then the kids

127
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 6: miraculously arrive, and then they help me in the garden,

128
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 6: planting guardenas and hydrangers, and they do not winge once,

129
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 6: and they do not hide from me in order to

130
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 6: avoid helping me and making my dreams come true. Then

131
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 6: I say, oh, I'm a bit hungry, what would you like?

132
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 6: And I don't care what they say, because I've already

133
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 6: decided its Mother's Day. I'm going to have a fresh

134
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 6: white Baker's Delight roll with sesame seeds long yeah, and

135
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 6: the vnes frank from the supermarket boiled just right. And

136
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 6: I'm going to put butter on that soft white roll

137
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 6: and tomato sauce and seeded mustard, and I'm going to

138
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 6: eat the hot dog. And then I want to sit

139
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 6: in the sun and watch my children continue to shovel

140
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 6: mulch with a smile on their face. Then at about

141
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 6: three point thirty in the afternoon, I want my best

142
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 6: friend Beck to come over and then we gas bag

143
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 6: in the sunshine, just talking about stuff. And then I go, oh,

144
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 6: I'm a bit hungry, what do you think? And then

145
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 6: I turn on my oven and I perfectly cook my

146
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 6: favorite potato Dauphinoi's dish. I'll do two of them because

147
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 6: I'm expecting guests, of course, and I'll do a couple

148
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 6: of organic chooks that I have bought on cook sale

149
00:06:58,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 6: or a frozen.

150
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: A lot of food.

151
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 6: Go yeah, food is the best.

152
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 5: In between meals.

153
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 6: Yes, this is my perfect day. Then at about five o'clock,

154
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 6: my own mother, Patty Swan, rambles up, probably with a

155
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 6: giant blue and yellow ica bag full of stuff. And

156
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 6: then my sister comes as well, and we all sit

157
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 6: and eat this magnificent roast chicken and potato dofphin Wild's dish.

158
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 6: Then my kids clean up without winging or hiding or

159
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 6: scattering as if a gun has gone off, just in

160
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 6: case I look at it.

161
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,320

Speaker 6: sister and my best friend, and we just talk about

166
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 6: juicy stuff like who really owns the recipe to a

00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 6: caramel slice? And why did don't she arrive to the

168

00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 5: And what time a bloody fits in for a couple

170
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 5: of beers?

171
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: What time does the Bloodies dancer arrive? What time does

Speaker 6: Seven thirty.

175
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: This is with Kate Richie podcast.

176
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: A bit of a random comment, but how good are trees?

177
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: There's a bit of a.

178
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: Problem going around Sydney about people lopping trees down or

179
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: poisoning trees. Did you know about the Almond Park serial killer?

180
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: Someone's going around poisoning trees in Ashfield.

181
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: Whip cheez mate.

182
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: They've been doing it in Darling Point, which is a

183
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 4: very very exclusive area, Ryan James for the views. Yeah,

184
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: but they have this, you know, two hundred year old

185
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: what are there? The figs, the giant fig trees and

186
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 4: so what they do there's these banners all over the

187
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,479
Speaker 4: trees at the moment saying if you can help identify

188
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 4: who poisoned these trees as a reward.

189
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fair call.

190
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: Amazing tree.

191
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 3: I don't like these stories where there's a guy David Thompson,

192
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: he lives in Waverley here in Sydney. He's infuriated with

193
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: because he went away on our family holiday and he's

194
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: beloved Magnoli. A tree while he was away, believed to

195
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: be one hundred years old, was completely destroyed by his

196
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: neighbor Marco for Newly Only. Now, how's this Finely only

197
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: gets a three thousand dollars fine, that's the maximum available

198
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: to counsel and the tree loppers, the arborists, they only

199
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: get six thousand dollars fine for destroying the tree.

200
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: And David Thompson's come out and said.

201
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: The tree's worth way more than three thousand dollars and

202
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: now it's.

203
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 4: Gone because quite often you have to in the situation

204
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 4: like this, if you court, you've got to replace the tree.

205
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: So you have to spend money to regenerate the soil

206
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: and replace the tree as well.

207
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but it's a big task.

208
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean a tree usually takes around twenty thirty years

209
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 3: to get back to its original impossible that.

210
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 4: I mean if there was a tree in our backyard

211
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: and we were doing some renolds, so we had to

212
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 4: pay the council thirty thousand dollars upfront, So we didn't

213
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: pay them the money. It was a deposit upfront, so

214
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 4: that if anything was to happen to that tree, then

215
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 4: they had access to that money. So you had to

216
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: protect the tree at the tree costs. The tree was

217
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 4: on bail, was.

218
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 5: He it was?

219
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: It was out on bail and it was found innocent

220
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 4: by the end and got on all charges.

221
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: Well, it had a trunk bracelet, didn't it.

222
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 4: They Yeah, it couldn't leave the property and probably won't

223
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: for the rest of its life.

224
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: My mate panters, he punted, He did exactly the same,

225
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 3: and that he had a bit of a view of

226
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: the ocean and the guy across the road just wouldn't

227
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: lop down each tree. So Patters offered him five thousand

228
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: bucks and he said, no, I'm not taking it, mate.

229
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: I love that tree. But there's nothing that he can

230
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: do about it. He's asked, he's asked a few people

231
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 3: in the area, can I maybe just drill something in

232
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: there and poison it?

233
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: And they're going, no, you can't do that.

234
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: Too obvious, mate, the old rusty n aile. You don't

235
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: ask to cut down a tree from your neighbor, they

236
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 4: say no, And then you try and poison on the

237
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: sly Do you know what this is? Where Francesca goes

238
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 4: to school. There's a beautiful view of the harbor, like

239
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: its next level, ridiculous position of property neck and all

240
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: these trees have been poisoned and they sit in front

241
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: of a house that's next to the school.

242
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: Well, it's obvious, is so obvious.

243
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 4: So we went on to two of the school down

244
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: in this area and the teacher said, and all these

245
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 4: trees have been poisoned.

246
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 5: We're is devastating for the area, and we're trying to

247
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 5: work out who could have done it, Who could have

248
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: done it? There's one house there, I mean possibly done.

249
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: This can you poison a house.

250
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, with mushrooms, you can just.

251
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: Leave the trees alone, leave the mate. They're quite popular

252
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,119
Speaker 2: as well for oxygen.

253
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 5: I'm so glad you've done service to the trees. Fits well.

254
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 3: If the more trees you take away, the more oxygen

255
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: that you're stealing and you're known around the office is

256
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 3: the oxygen fee for That's.

257
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 5: Why my job annually is to plant more trees.

258
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: Magnolia, isn't it.

259
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, steal magnolia.

260
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: This is the Fits and Whip with Kate Richie podcast.

261
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 4: Here's an interesting update for you because last week we

262
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: spoke the accident that happened on the Mooney Many Bridge.

263
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: Please turned his own mic off. We do that regularly.

264
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 4: There's a button here and I accidentally leaned on it.

265
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 4: But I'm back, guys. I had a sorry first day

266
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: in the studio.

267
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 5: Anyway.

268
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: If you remember this, some metal fell off the back

269
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 4: of the truck around many Money towards Barra and it

270
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 4: was a disaster. They were talking at the time of

271
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 4: over two hundred cars that had flat tires due to

272
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 4: the scrap metal that had fallen off.

273
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 5: The back of the truck.

274
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 4: Update for you, there's been false claims by other cars

275
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 4: and the area who have got cracked windscreens and things

276
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: like that, already saying that you know it was. It's

277
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: got nothing to do with the tread on the weekend.

278
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: I love it.

279
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: There was a scrap metal on that day. I'm one

280
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 4: of the two hundred guys. So my car wasn't damaged beforehand.

281
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 4: Everything it was certainly not. It was the metal on

282
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: the day that got me. In fact, it's destroyed the

283
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 4: front of my car.

284
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: We went on a footy trip when I was younger.

285
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: I was only about seven and I went with the

286
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: A graders and we went to Melbourne and we stayed

287
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: at a Best Western in Melbourne, Chrissy.

288
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: It was very very cheap.

289
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: We got there, we offloaded our stuff and we left

290
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 3: to go and have a beer straight away. And when

291
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: we came back, everything in our rooms was gone.

292
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 5: Oh what what?

293
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: So it was an inside job obviously they saw us

294
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: rock up. Someone had the keys to get into all

295
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: the rooms and all our bags.

296
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: Everything was gone.

297
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: No way.

298
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: But then the hotel told us that there was an

299
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: insurance that you could claim through insurance.

300
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: Hmmm, guy, you don't think I was.

301

Speaker 3: I got my first laptop that I've never had my

302
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:05,800

353
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: Crazy.

00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

355
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: You know why a lion doesn't attack tourists in a

356
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: car on safari is because the lion sees the people

357
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 4: in the car and the jeep as one big animal,

358
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 4: doesn't see the individual cars. I walk into a social

359
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 4: situation and just see a big group of people as one,

360
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 4: and I can't identify the individual, which is weird.

361
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: Because when I walk into the same function and see you,

362
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: I need to turn around and walk away as well.

363
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 2: I've got no ice you.

364

367
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,560

368
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 6: about your little quirk I've got. I look, I put

369
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 6: all of these under the umbrella of lady madness. But

370
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 6: more specifically, I have time blindness, which means I just

371
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 6: do not know how long things take. Awesome, I've got

372
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,440

517
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 5: It's very easy to in love on a holiday. I

518
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 5: think it's like what they say.

519
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 4: They said, don't buy a house on a holiday, don't

520
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 4: do the supermarket shopping when you're hungry.

521
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean?

522
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: And if he was lonely and was on a holiday,

523
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: I could understand how easy it would be to fall

524
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 4: in love.

525
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 3: Well, he would be probably mid fifties, she was about

526
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 3: fifteen years younger. She was probably about forty, and he

527
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 3: fell in love straight away. Mate, So niece, well, I

528
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 3: think he was just over there. It was in a market,

529
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 3: he said, and she had a stare of the markets.

530
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 3: Their eyes just locked straight away and said, this is

531
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 3: the woman for me. Now, if you're signing a new

532
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: contract to go over and see the love of your life.

533
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: You locked in.

534
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 3: So it got to the point in the relationship where

535
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 3: she said, I want you to come over and come

536
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 3: to my house and meet my family.

537
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 2: And he said in his mind.

538
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 3: That this is a perfect opportunity to ask for her

539
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: hand in marriage.

540
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: Oh, Gesus really stepped it up.

541
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 3: So he was very very nervous when over there. He

542
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: got there a day earlier to surprise her.

543
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 5: Oh that's cute.

544
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: Locked up, is it? She's sort of.

545
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: She's regional Thailand, so it's a little bit further out.

546
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: And he's got on the door, knocked on the door.

547
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 3: She she's opened the door, and she's very very nervous.

548
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: He could tell something was up, and unfortunately he was

549
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 3: there to ask for her hand in marriage. And unfortunately

550
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: there was two other Australian guys living with her in

551
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 3: the house.

552
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 6: Oh god, I.

553
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: Mean, here's for a crowd. From my mind, I'm I'm

554
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 5: trying to help him out here.

555
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: He did say to me that there was a moment

556
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: where she said, well we can all do this together.

557
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 6: Okay, So all right, it would make sense to me

558
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 6: if there was one Australian man in how are.

559
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: They two already.

560
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 6: They were so surprising her and then it's just like, oh,

561
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 6: here's another one.

562
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 5: Do you know what?

563
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 3: He found out afterwards that the family home.

564
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: They wanted to sell the family home, and they wanted.

565
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 3: To sell it to the highest price. So she was

566
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 3: basically getting buyers for the house, which were the loves

567
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 3: of her life, and she wanted them to bid against

568
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 3: each other so the family could have a bit of money.

569
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 5: She got the networker, isn't.

570
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 6: She What did your friend do? Standing there at the

571
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 6: threshold with his takeaway pad?

572
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: Tie absolutely shattered.

573
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 3: Swany absolutely shattered for twenty four hours, and then he

574
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: found another girl and he.

575
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 4: Went back to the market. Sophie Crow's News. Can we

576
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 4: talk to so who's called through? This happened to you?

577
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 6: Yeah?

578
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 8: So I met a guy online. It was through a

579
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 8: friends but we had never met. Heal in the UK,

580
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 8: and he was made up this big, extravagant story about

581
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 8: coming to Australia. He was going to move here, but

582
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 8: he wanted to sort of visit first see how he felt,

583
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 8: and it just never happened. But like he showed this

584
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 8: plane ticket and all the stuff, rental documents for a

585
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 8: property in Sydney and never happened.

586
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 4: So what was his excuse for not getting on the plane.

587
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 4: If he had the plane ticket, then.

588
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 8: It was always just going to be pushed back, or

589
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 8: it was always something that came up. Oh he got

590
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 8: you know, he had to stay at work another couple

591
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 8: of months, or a family member was sick, or it

592
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 8: was always an excuse. So but he always had like

593
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 8: a yeah.

594
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 6: He always had a way out. So for you said

595
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 6: that you were introduced through a friend, what does your

596
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 6: friend say about this?

597
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 8: Just goes along with it just doesn't really.

598
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: Was he sending photos of himself s so you thought

599
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: it was legit?

600
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh?

601
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, he had a Facebook profile. It all seems legit. No,

602
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 8: like AI sort of photos, you know how you can

603
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 8: tell someone's AI. It wasn't that, it was. It seemed

604
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 8: very very legit.

605
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 6: I don't understand what you must have done a lot

606
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 6: of soul setting here. What is what is he set

607
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 6: to gain from doing this? That's what I don't understand.

608
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: Did he ask for money?

609
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 8: So no, but he did sort of at one point

610
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 8: suggest that we move in together when he was looking

611
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 8: for rental, like a rental property. Luckily I didn't, But yeah,

612
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 8: he was suggesting. He was suggesting things like that.

613
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 6: So what was the final straw, because obviously at some

614
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 6: point you've got actually, this is this is not happening.

615
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 8: What was it? It was probably the third time that

616
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 8: he did he canceled that. I was like, all right,

617
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 8: this is this is just not happening. Yeah, I was.

618
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 8: I was just over it by then.

619
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: It's I can't believe.

620
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 3: I can't imagine how nervous you would be if you've

621
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: fallen in love with someone online and you're right, Let's

622
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: say that relationship goes for six months to a year

623
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 3: where you're just you're professing your love for each other

624
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 3: and how much you want to see that person. How

625
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: nervous you would be at the airport for the first

626
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 3: time that you meet them, because you wouldn't.

627
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: Be one hundred percent sure until they arrive.

628
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: And they look like the person that they've been sending

629
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: through to you.

630
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 6: I say, we get Sophie to re ignite this relationship

631
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 6: and we get him out, and then when he arrives

632
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,440
