Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast. Getting

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: through customs in the US, as you would know, it

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: can be quite challenging.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 2: They'll put it up on anything, and you never know

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: whether to write.

6
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: When we go over there to do shows, we never

7
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: know whether to write business or holiday.

8
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 2: You know when you have to write business because then

9
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: they're not right business. What's your business here? What business

10
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 2: have you got here? And you've got the.

11
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 3: Type and any type of criminal record? I mean, Tom,

12
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 3: the amount of hours we've had to wait for you

13
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 3: to get out, Yeah, I must you know that was

14
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: one stupid moment when you were sixteen and you didn't

15
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: know that you're in the room with all those guys

16
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: with the leather masks.

17
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: On, and you know what next thing?

18
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 3: You know, you can't get into La. Yeah.

19
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: Look, but it was a great night, I must admit.

20
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: So I'm going to deny that cut the bracelet off.

21
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Do you know I was stopped getting in one time

22
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: because I went through customs in Sydney and then we

23
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: landed in LA and I had my passport the entire

24
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: flight in my back pocket and the actual because it

25
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: heated up because it's on my bum the color from

26
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: the photograph seek through onto the page behind it. So

27
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Customs actually thought that I had a dodgy passport because

28
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: it had leaked.

29
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: In a way.

30
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: And so you were just you were saying that you

31
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: wouldn't go into a bath that your sister was just

32
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 3: in because of the Whipfley broth. But imagine that broth

33
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: on your passport and Customs as the officer had to

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: then go through that.

35
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: I handed it to him. It was just sticky as

36
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: anything had some stank on it.

37
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: Can we talk about a friend of mine who went

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,919
Speaker 1: This is a story from a while ago.

39
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: She had an issue getting into the US.

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: Anyway, she launched a story by telling me she was

41
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: going through Customs and they had a look at her

42
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: passport and they were taking more time than you normally

43
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: do to flick through the pages of the passport.

44
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: Anyway, she gets called.

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Into one of the little offices, you know, the Americans

46
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: take her away, and she's tiny as a woman, so

47
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: she's so intimidated by the American police or customs guards.

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: And there's three of them that take her in and

49
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: they stand there looking over at her at sort of

50
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: six foot six, going asking all these far too personal

51
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: questions how long you've been a dancer for? Where are

52
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 1: you dancing while you're here? How long you've been taking

53
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: your clothes off for?

54
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: And she's thinking, yeah, what guilty feet have no rhythm

55
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: George Michael.

56
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: And she's trying to work out what's going on because

57
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: they obviously think that she's a stripper, and she's coming

58
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: here to work because she wrote down I'm here for business.

59
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: So she's saying, no, no, no, you don't understand. I

60
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: work for a company. I don't know what you're talking about.

61
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: This is what I do. I'm in the music industry.

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: And they say, no, we know that you're a dancer,

63
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and we know that you're here to take American by

64
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: taking your clothes off and flashing your body. And she's going,

65
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: can we just stop everything and explain to me why

66
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: you think that that's what I do for a living,

67
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: And they said, well, it's here in your passport anyway.

68
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: What it was is she was.

69
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: Working for Tina Turner at the time, and because you

70
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: need to fill in your ETZA so you can work

71
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: in the US, you have to write down the business name,

72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: and Tina Turner's business name was private Dyna answer of course,

73
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,040
