1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting and Whip Her with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 2: First interview for Reagan after the Olympics where.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 3: She had I didn't see it.

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: She's still overseas and I can understand why she didn't

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: want to come back to the vitriol back here, and

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: she stayed over there. Not a bad little holiday to

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: stay over there and stay away from it. I think

8
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: it's been the right thing to do, absolutely, But she

9
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: did have to speak at some stage, and she spoke

10
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: with Arlette Arli last night on the project. I thought

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: it was a great interview.

12
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: Do you know I watched a bit of the footage

13
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 3: back because when she sat down one on one day,

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: obviously rehashed it on TV this morning and I was

15
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: watching the performance.

16
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 4: It's funnier and funnier the more I watched it.

17
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 5: Might just enjoy it beyond belief.

18
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 3: Now it's not meant to be funny, but I find

19
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 3: it's so entertaining because it's extraordinary.

20
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: Now what it's like someone at a wedding or someone

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: at a party just going for it and making everyone laugh,

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: and it's like, oh, that's so funny. You don't even

23
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: know what.

24
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: You're doing, and they believe in themselves present as well

25
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: is because she's trained in what to do, so she's

26
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 3: on a world stage.

27
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: So Walie brought up their disapproval from the Breaking community,

28
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: and she said, it's really sad to hear those criticisms.

29
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: I'm very sorry for the backlash that the community has experienced,

30
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 2: but I can't control how people react, which is fair enough.

31
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 5: Now.

32
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: She was also asked about, you know, Jimmy Fallon getting

33
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: that impersonator on the Shah and stuff. She said, look,

34
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: I've got mixed at mixed emotions about that. She said,

35
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: I'm not in a place yet to watch it. I

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: haven't seen it. I don't know whether to hug Jimmy

37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: Fallon or yell at him because what a platform I

38
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: ended up giving me. But she said, I haven't actually

39
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: seen the sketch.

40
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: Can I also say, I mean she talks about the

41
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: haters in the community, she's put breaking. If that's the

42
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: term she's put breaking on the map like never before. Yeah, no,

43
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: we wouldn't be talking about it now or past the Olympics,

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: beyond the Olympics.

45
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: And surely it's encouraged people to get involved, absolutely with

46
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 5: no disrespect. If that's the level that can win, you know,

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 5: can get you a spot the team I reckon you know, well,

48
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 5: not necessarily, but yes, she.

49
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: Said when she qualified, she knew that she would struggle

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: against the other countries. She said, she said, oh my gosh,

51
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: what have I done? Because I knew I was going

52
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: to get beaten. I knew that people were not going

53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: to understand my style and what was what I was

54
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: going to do. So there would have been a level

55
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: of interrepidation going, oh my gosh, now this is the world.

56
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: Stay here we.

57
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: Go, and maybe she's beyond where the judges are. Maybe

58
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: she was, she's in the future, and they're not adjusting

59
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: or keeping up with her style.

60
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 5: They just don't get it, you know what I mean.

61
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: Completely had a blank on the first but on the

62
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: first grab and what we're doing on the first grab

63
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: with Reagan that we have of your last.

64
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 5: We talked on the project about whether she's going to

65
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 5: compete any further.

66
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think I'll be competing for a while.

67
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: Not really wanting to be in the spotlight breaking. It's

68
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: been a bit of a process to try and start

69
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: dancing again. Like that's actually been tough.

70
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 4: You know.

71
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: It was my medicine and then it turned into my

72
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: source of stress. So I'm really happy that it gets

73
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: to go back to being my medicine. I can kind

74
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: of finally feel free again.

75
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: The other big one for me is the amount of

76
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: attention that she had from people all around the world.

77
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: Adele spoke about her, likely said Jimmy Fallon, but have

78
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: listened to the person that got in contact with her.

79
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Is there an upside to all this?

80
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: The upside is you get random people contacting you that

81
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 4: you never thought would ever notice you. Sir Richard Branson

82
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 4: calling you to say that he enjoyed your performance and

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: he thought that you it was plucky and courageous and

84
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: fun and he would love to have me on some

85
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: cruises with boy, Like, what is life?

86
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: What?

87
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 5: I know, it's crazy. I mean there's part of me

88
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: take all the competitiveness and the you know, everyone throwing

89
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 5: their arms up and they're disrespecting the Olympics. But what

90
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 5: a great story down the track when she's an elderly lady,

91
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 5: you know, a grandmother with kids gathered around her in

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 5: the laundroom. Remember what Nan did? What a crazy moment

93
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: in time and Australian history, world history.

94
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: I think she's handled it really well. So she's given

95
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: it a bit of space, right, and people have sort

96
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: of and this is the thing. If you don't give

97
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: it any more oxygen, people do forget about it. Yeah,

98
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: she had to do it. She had to do her

99
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: first interview, right, she had to get that out of

100
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 2: the way. She's done that now, which is not controversial.

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: It hasn't gone crazy. So now we've all heard a talk.

102
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: She's got management. I think the guys, the inspired unemployed

103
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: boys are their management is looking after her. Now.

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: Could you imagine, though, go along to a corporate event

105
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: or at some sort of charity event, and maybe there's

106
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: the brass band that normally rolls out and then all

107
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 3: of a sudden they say, join us on stage in

108
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: a green and gold tracksuit to show you the routine

109
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: you fell in love with in Paris.

110
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: Ray gum you.

111
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 5: Oh, it would make me feel really feel so awkward.

112
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: Recognize if she was walking through the straight.

113
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 5: I would now you would now I think, maybe.

114
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: Keep the trackie on. You and John Howard are the

115
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,080
