1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Her with Kate Richie podcast. 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: How far do you take a joke? I mean, where 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: is the line? You know, We've played a few jokes 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: on each other over the years. Fits you know, whether 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: it's dacking or jumping out from around the corner. I 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: think at one stage, I got a giant Oreo chocolate 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: biscuit and slammed your head together. That was funny. Now 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: the people liked it. YouTube went off and everyone clapped. This, unfortunately, 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: hasn't gone too well for a banker who's now suing 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 1: the business because look, when she was hired, she already 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: had a couple of issues. She had a general anxiety issue. 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: She also had an autoimmune disorder and vertigo. Now, I 13 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: don't know how much that plays into the impact of 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 1: the joke that was played on her, but she's now 15 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: turned around. She's got legal advice. She's saying you took 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: her too far and I want your money. They found 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: out that she as they got to know her she 18 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: started working there, they found out that she has one 19 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: major fear. And it was strange because you can kind 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: of see this through horror films, but it's dolls. She 21 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: has a fear of dolls, which casually came up in 22 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: a conversation one Friday afternoon when they were having drinks 23 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: after work. Cut to Monday morning. One of the guys 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 1: has gone home and he said, you know what, guys, 25 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: I've got a beauty. I have a Chucky doll at 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: home from the movie from Child's Play, I've got a 27 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: Chucky doll. When she gets into work on Monday, You're 28 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: gonna love this. Get your cameras ready. I'm going to 29 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: put it in her chair. So when she arrives, she 30 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: goes to sit down. Bang Chucky. Remember in the Chucky 31 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: movie when they went paintball shooting and he swapped out 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: the paintballs for real bullets. Now I can't remember that, Chucky. 33 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: There's two things that I'm blathe more. First of all, 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: number one, he's a banker, And number two, he's got 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: a Chucky doll at home. Yeah, like what he has 36 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: too that I would love to hang out with. What 37 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: do you want to do? More interest rates or Chucky dolls? 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: So anyway, she's come to work seeing the Tucky doll 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: on the chair, freaked out, screamed, has run out of 40 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: the building and has not returned to work. Well that's 41 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: fair enough, is it. I mean, it's how do you 42 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: get away with that? If she sues? I mean, how 43 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: much can you get away with? It was just a prank? 44 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: How might it's a laugh? You're gonna laugh at her? 45 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: The hard party is when they say to him, are 46 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: you aware that she has a fear of dolls? Maybe 47 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: maybe you're on a door. I have to answer that, Well, 48 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: that's the doll talking. Ah, you are your ventriloquest ah. 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: So I remember what. There was a girl that worked 50 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: here to me, and we had a bit of an 51 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: incident because she had a fear of fish and we 52 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: had a like it's not good that we worked next 53 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: to the fishman. No, but we had never come in 54 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: the police. We had a taxi derby piranha in the 55 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: office and I walked up to her tapped her on 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: the shoulder. She turned around and I was holding the 57 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: piranha out. She ran from the building. That day. Tom 58 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: actually screamed multiple times and instantly began sobbing. Yes, so 59 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: she helped me understand her phobia, which was really good 60 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: because I got an education that day because I realized that, well, 61 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: that's true. She wasn't making it up. So but through 62 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: that test, there was many meetings in HR issues. Look, 63 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: she doesn't work here anymore. That's got nothing to do 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: with the fish, is it. I don't know why she does. 65 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: Can you hook up with it? I don't know what 66 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: you're talking about? So that that case is still under review. 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: What case? The case? The case of the dead Piranha? 68 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to some She described you as 69 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: a bit of a wet fite whipper was Kate Ritchie 70 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: is a Nova podcast walk great shows like this.
