1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Sits and with with Kate Richie podcast. Guys, sorry I

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: wasn't here yesterday. I know you missed me and think

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: you for your kind messages support. You knew there was

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: family trouble and family drama unfortunately a little one Francesca

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: who had her tonsils out last week. Sounds like a

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: simple procedure, doesn't it. They do it all the time.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: They do it all the time. They can do up

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: to thirty in a day. Kate Richie, just lay those

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: things suckers off, So something didn't bur is always It's

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: like wisdom teeth, isn't it? The old tonsils that something

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: can burst in the back of your throat. Someone said

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: that if you're an adult getting your tonsils out, it

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: is one of the most painful things under the sun.

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: So you go through the first couple of days of

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: being raw at the back of the throat because your

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: tonsils are being cut out. Then at around day eight

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: the scabs start falling off in the back of your throat.

18
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: It's just terrible. It's horrible and for any parent going

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: through it at the moment, trying to get painkiller into

20
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: their kid that doesn't want to swallow because their throat

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: hurts too much trying to get medicine. Last night, really,

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: at one am, Lisa and I both sat there for

23
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: an hour trying to get it to go anyway. She'd

24
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: yelled for so long the other night that she was

25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: bleeding at the back of the throat. We call the

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: ambulance and we find ourselves in hospital. So just the worst.

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, the hospital and the staff there. Do you

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: know what. It's so transient the hospital, right, People come

29
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: in and people go out, they get better and they leave. Really, yeah,

30
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: that's the plan. The staff are just extraordinating with how

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: good they are. Like I said to the lady yesterday,

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: there's two things I hate in this world, bullying and

33
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: other people's kids. And you are so good with everyone

34
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: else's kids, they're not even yours. And what did she say?

35
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: There's only one thing I hate in the world, these

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: people like you. There's three things I hate the Fitz

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: WHI ate Ritchie. The emergency department. That's yeah, next, because

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: everyone that goes in there, and I understand this, they

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: are the most important person in the world and in

40
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: their world, whereas these poor people working there. You're just

41
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: one of how this girl, Charlotte that was looking after

42
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: us was just extraordinary, the love and the care. I'm

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: catching up with her for a coffee next week. But

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: what was fascinating whilst we were in a room of

45
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: four So you've got you draw the curtain, but obviously

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: they're thin curtains, and you've got families and kids in

47
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: each path course, in each corner of the room, which

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: is great. It's about two thirty in the morning and

49
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: finally Francesca and I get to sleep, but I'm on

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: the fold out bed next to which is the extendable

51
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: couch chair. I thought you were going to the hospital, Francesca,

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: you're a smaller one. I thought about it. I fell

53
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: asleep on the main bed and then transferred into the

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: other one. But I wasn't sleep for a long because

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: we wake up at six o'clock in the morning because

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: she needed more painkiller. Anyway, I walked outside of the tent,

57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: felt like there's another couple and this guy and his

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: wife looks at me and goes thought it was you.

59
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Well, the roomors are true, aren't they.

60
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? And I away from Wollongong

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: and we love the show. But I'll tell you what

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: the size of your tongue must be massive, because I've

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: never heard anybody snore like that in my clash. And

64
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: I said to the nurse Charlotte too, if you hear

65
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: a snoring sound down the corral that sounds like a

66
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: forty three year old male, it's Francesca. Or it sounds

67
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: like a chain saw. It sounds like a chain saw,

68
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: then that's so. Anyway, I put them off guard because

69
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: they couldn't sleep. And these among your roommates, and they

70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: have a small child I'm guessing in the bed as well,

71
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: who they have probably just finally got to set. And

72
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: then they're sharing a room with the old whip who

73
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: comes the train strap yourself in God. So, anyway, we

74
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: needed something to lift the mood. And it wasn't going

75
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: to be up to me because I'd already lost friends,

76
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: and by the way, we lost them as listeners because

77
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: of my snoring. But then there was a knock at

78
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: the door. I couldn't believe it. Captain Starlight and Captain

79
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: Strawberry there. Yeah, they've got the headquarters there where they've

80
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: got the Starlight TV. You can call from your bed

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: and say can you put happy feet on please? And

82
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: they'll put it through the channel, the Starlight channel that's

83
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: on the TV for the kid all the time, all

84
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: the time. That's so great. Toy story two. So they

85
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: arrived to lighten the mood with a little bit of

86
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: a song because Captain Starlight had the ukulele with her

87
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: beautiful beauty about the stars.

88
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: I see him the nice style.

89
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: Always got to join in. No, you don't need to

90
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: sing harmonies joining in anyway they tried. She hated it,

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: but that doesn't matter. I think she was crying from

92
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: yours singing. Can you please be find the real performers.

93
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: The entertainment wasn't working. The Twinkle Twinkle song wasn't working.

94
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: So Captain Starlight and Captain Strawberry needed an another angle,

95
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: like something that is fail proof for kids, that you

96
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: can't lose with. So what had happened? They did a

97
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: magic trick. Captain Starlight had a box of sultanas with

98
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: one magic sultana, or if you ate the sultana, it

99
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: made something happen.

100
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Strawberry, Captain Strawberry, Captain Strawberry, Captain Strawberry.

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: Saw doesn't work, turn it into more of a bullying chance,

102
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: and whatever you do, don't doogle Captain Strawberry, Vincy and
