1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen this story floating around overnight,

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: and now there's all this discussion around whether Arch Barker

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: is in the right or the wrong. We'll break it

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: down in a second, but this is this is now

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: him yesterday having to come out and apologize for asking

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: a woman to leave his show over the weekend.

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 3: I'm distressed, to be honest, that so many people are upset.

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 3: It was never my attention.

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I impacted on other people's night that night,

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: but I just yeah, there are ways to handle things,

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: and that wasn't the way to do it.

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: That would happen.

14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 2: So this is this is a woman who went to

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: see Arch Barker at the ethnem very funny stand up. Yeah,

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: well I've never seen him, of course. I think we've

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: interviewed him over the years. You know, you've crossed paths

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: with Arch Barker. You know what he does. It's a

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: fifteen plus rating to go. But the child is very young.

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: The child is aware of what's kind of going on

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: as far as sounds and movements and light, but they're

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: not getting the gear.

23
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 3: No, of course, not they're they're.

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: Not doing that. So she decides to take a night

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: out with a couple of friends. I think she goes

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: with her sister and another woman. She's there in the

27
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: audience with a child. I think the story goes that

28
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: she may have been breastfeeding. Arch Barker couldn't see that

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: she was breastfeeding because the lights are blinding. But he's

30
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: standing there, I guess, towering over her. If is up

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: on the stage and he asked her to leave, get

32
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: out the event.

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 4: Well, he did say it was putting him off on stage,

34
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 4: wasn't it.

35
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: The pain of the baby was making a whole lot

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 3: of noise.

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: Well, it depends who you talk to. I don't know

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: how you can breastfeed a screaming child, and I wasn't there,

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: but yeah, apparently she would. The child was being a

40
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: bit of a distract action to Arch. I think he

41
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: asked her to leave. She didn't think, I mean, you're

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: seeing a comic. She didn't think he was serious to

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: start with. You'd have a bit of a chuckle like,

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, oh no, I'm here with the baby now.

45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: Arje is doing this funny gag around asking me to leave.

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 3: Being heckled by an eight months old.

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, this is the thing. She eventually did get

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: up and go and some people I think there was

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: about ten other people seeing the show who left as

50
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: a sign.

51
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: Of solidarity if she goes on going.

52
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then there were other people who were heckling

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: and anyway at thirteen twenty four to ten. If you've

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: got any thoughts on this, I mean, I don't know

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: if there's an issue with having a baby there because

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: of the content.

57
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: Could you know what a mother should be out of

58
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 3: breastfeed wherever, whenever, But that wasn't the issue. That's not

59
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: the issue. If a baby screaming and you're trying to

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: get through your stand up that I could, I would

61
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: imagine that that would be extreme off putting.

62
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think we've all had a screaming child that

63
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: without having but you do not know when past, so

64
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: you do you kind of get up because it's an

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: awkward situation, and you might even stand out to the

66
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: side of like, you know.

67
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: You get up quiet and the kid.

68
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

69
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: The ironic thing was that she went on a carrent

70
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 4: affair in the project last night with the child with

71
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 4: the baby, and the baby the baby needed.

72
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: Food, yeah, I know, and so it was. It all

73
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: became kind of self fulfilling prophecy. Sarah Harris was interviewing

74
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: her on the project last night, This is it here.

75
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: So I just thought it'd be really nice to do

76
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: something that I hadn't done in a while and just

77
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: sort of get back to sort of a pre beating me.

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: Crazy right now.

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe she can go to dad just for a

80
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: quick second, but like, you know, a moment, little kids,

81
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: I reckon, you need.

82
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: A lot, that's true.

83
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: I mean Harris has told the kid to go away.

84
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: Well, well I think she's do you know what I

85
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: think Sarah, Sarah is a lovely woman. I think what

86
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: she's trying to do is give the mother a moment

87
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: to actually chat to chat to the host and look,

88
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: I do feel for mum. I think her name was Trish,

89
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 2: and she said things like, you know, nobody wants to

90
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: feel unwanted, and when you're basically getting booed out of

91
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: a place, you definitely feel unwanted. And all she wanted

92
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: to do was go for a night.

93
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 4: That that baby will grow up to be the greatest,

94
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 4: greatest comedian We've ever had you at home, ever seen

95
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: in our time.

96
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: Carol and Elwood, what do you think should have happened here?

97
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, I kind of feel sorry for the lady too,

98
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 5: because she was put in a really difficult situation. And

99
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 5: I can understand that she wanted to go out, et cetera,

100
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 5: et cetera, but really, was there a better way to

101
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: handle it?

102
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: Carol, do you think a baby should even if the

103
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: baby screaming in a show and you're there and there's

104
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: a comedian trying to do their act, shouldn't she get

105
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: happen and just wander to the back of the room

106
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: or take f Maybe.

107
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 5: She could have got up and wandered to the back

108
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 5: of the room. But on the I'm Kind Affair last night,

109
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 5: she said the baby wasn't distracting at all. So who

110
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 5: do we believe? Was the baby distracting or was it not?

111
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 5: Or was it just a distraction to the comedian because

112
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 5: he could see that she was breastfeeding?

113
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you?

114
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: She did. She made it clear last night that if

115
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: the baby was starting to get too loud, she would

116
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: have left the room straight away.

117
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: And Amanda and Cornella, what do you think.

118
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh, I actually think she should have if she was

119
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: going to take the baby that at the back. I

120
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: think it's really off putting for comics as it is,

121
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: because they really rely on that pause to get the

122
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: gag over the line and when there's noises. I just

123
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: think it's a really hard gig to be a stand up.

124
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: And sure there's a little baby, but I just most

125
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: obviously think it's the wrong place to take a baby

126
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: in this though. Up the back would be much better. Yeah.

127
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: Everyone, Yeah, and I guess that's very true. True if

128
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: you're whether it's a baby or a dog that you're

129
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 2: taking to the What I'm saying is what you shouldn't

130
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: be doing is stopping the person being able to fulfill

131
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: the commitment that sold tickets and the show is for everybody.

132
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: But I do I do feel for mums who are

133
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: desperate to get out of the house and mum and

134
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: the sister have said come along, it won't be a

135
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: big deal, and now look at this.

136
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: But I do like the idea that for his next show,

137
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: everybody comes along with a doll, turn up with a doll,

138
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 3: or if Kate Richie suggests a dog, bring a dog

139
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 3: to the Archebacer.

140
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,000
