Speaker 1: This is the fitsy and with her with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 2: How's this unbelievable?

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: What are the chances?

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 3: A man who is sixty five years old, he's doing

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 3: a bit of laboring with a local building team and

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 3: there's a job that's come up. But he's old high school, which.

7
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: Is great, and they're doing a demo on a bathroom

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: and he stands there and he says, you know what,

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: I remember back in the day, my locker was just

10
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: over there.

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. All the memory started flowing back.

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 3: He hadn't been back to the school for a while,

13
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: and he used to kick the footy down there on

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: the oble on me bluddy lunch spot was around the corner.

15
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: It's so nice to reminisce like that, isn't it?

16
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 4: And I bet the school felt so much smaller.

17
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah it would have felt smaller.

18
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't it weird, isn't it?

19
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: When you go back. We ran around here like we're

20
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: out a first kiss over there? No, no, no, I

21
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: don't think I got a little fight over there behind

22
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: the sportshes. Someone hit me in there with an apple

23
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: over there. Anyway, they're doing a demolition job on the

24
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: bathrooms and they pull down a wall and he says,

25
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: oh gosh, there's a wallet there, an old, dusty wallet.

26
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: So he goes, oh god, I have a look at that.

27
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: Don't say it.

28
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 5: I'm going to say it.

29
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: I haven't said it, but you know where I'm going.

30
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: I've said it.

31
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 5: No, it was his.

32
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: Wallet, ah, that he's lost when he was at the

33
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: age of fourteen, when he was attending the school.

34
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: I thought he'd put the wall up.

35
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 5: Sorry, I'll go.

36
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: Quite high if he's doing the building works. The thing was,

37
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 3: he remembers all those years ago that he got yelled

38
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: at by his mum because she said, where's your wallet gone?

39
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: He thought it had been stolen from his locker, and

40
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: he never knew what had happened to him. So when

41
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: he looked at the wallet, it had his ide in it.

42
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 3: It had old money, and it had an old footy

43
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: card in the wallet.

44
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 5: You couldn't touch it.

45
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: Could yet you couldn't. You'd have to leave what in

46
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: the wall?

47
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: No?

48
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: No, no, Lee, like, I mean you take it home

49
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: and frame it. I mean, that's a story that you

50
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: tell everyone. When he sat down and he said, I

51
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: wish I'd been able to tell my mum that I

52
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: finally found the wallet after all these years she's gone dead?

53
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 5: What what are the chances that she was gone?

54
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,399

00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: Hello, what are the chances?

138
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: So you know how you can look after little puppies

139
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: from a pet store overnight?

140
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 5: Yep? No, yep, yeah, well yeah you can.

141
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 2: You can sort of take them home and look after

142
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 2: them for the night and then you can take and back.

143
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: And we lived in an apartment. I couldn't get a dog.

144
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: I really wanted one, so that was kind of the

145
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: closest I could get to it at the time. Anyway,

146
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: the puppy obviously got sold, and probably about five years later,

147
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: maybe I was at a friend A friend was house

148
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: sitting for someone that she knew, and we came over

149
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: to have a barbecue there and I'm sitting there and

150
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: this dog runs up to me and then just starts

151
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: basically shoving its nose into my neck. I was sitting

152
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: on the couch and I'm like, what is going on

153
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 2: with this dog? Does it normally do this to people?

154
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: She's like, no, I've never seen it do that before

155
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: turns out that that was the puppy that we used

156
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: the puppy sit when it was like eight weeks old,

157
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: and this was five years later and we hadn't obviously

158
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: seen it in that long amount of time. It knew

159
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 2: my smell. What that is a beautiful story.

160
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 5: It's a.

161
