00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: This is the fits and with with Kate Richie podcast Funny.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 2: You should mention that I was so keen to get

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: to this story. No, I actually was, and it's a

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: funny little it's a funny little chat to end our

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: show with this morning. I was so curious because they

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: take this grave digging stuff really.

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: Well.

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: They they take it really seriously.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: Hope.

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: So there is a competittion. No, but there's a competition

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: and it's in Hungry It's a sporting event and they

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: host it. They've only been doing this. This is the

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: eighth edition. It took place on early in September. And

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: what it does is it brings together professional cemetery workers

15
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: to see who could dig and refill a grave the

16
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: fastest while keeping it neat and tidy. That's not just about.

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: That digging a hole. I thought you were digging up

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: dead body. That's a grave digging, isn't it.

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well grave what is it called when you

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 2: steal from the grave robbing?

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a different thing.

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is grave digging is one of the

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: very few skills that they don't do with a machine anymore. Apparently, right, Well,

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: maybe they do.

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: Here.

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, but in Europe they don't. It's very

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: important they run a competition. It says here that each

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: team face the same task. They carve out a grave

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: measuring two meters long eighty centimeters wide. It's they replace

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 2: and then they replace it. Judges scored them on speed, accuracy,

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: presentation using a ten point scale, clean edges and a

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: tidy burial mound carried almost as much weight as finishing quickly.

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: So out of context, Kate, do you know to be interesting?

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: It's just because you know how they say six feet under?

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Is that two meters? Yea, it is?

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: What about one point eight or something?

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: Did they do like? And when when they're in the

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: competition mode do they go all right, bring in the carts,

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: get to see if it actually fits.

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: In the hole.

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Ian, you haven't done done.

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: They don't do that stuff.

43
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: Can be a fascinating exhibition event for the twenty thirty

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 3: two Olympics in Brizee.

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: It's so dangerous, the six feet under the hole. And

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: when you're at a funeral because there have been a

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: couple of funny I mean they're not that funny, but

48
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, someone sort of you know, bringing the coffin

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: in and unfortunately Dad's just gone down into the hole

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: before they've lowered down the coffin. It's to be really dangerous.

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: What about that guy that got buried the other day?

52
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: I think we played it on the show Fits, but

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 3: he'd his request was that he put a speaker into

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: the coffin, so the coffin's being lowered, and then one

55
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: of his mates has got a remote control to the

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: speaker and he's recorded himself going I am still in air. No,
