1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: This is the Fitting and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: My beautiful wife Belinda recently had a high school reunion

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: caught up with some old frienking and she has been

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: catching up with a few of them since the reunion.

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: Hasn't seen them for ages, and she said, it's just

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: great to reconnect again and catch up with them. One

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: of the girls has been sending through bj doesn't have

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: the high.

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 3: School book, but she's got the high school book from year.

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: Twelve and she sent through this and she actually got

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 2: a bit emotional when she saw it.

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: I'm going to put it up on the screen for you.

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: It was a trip that they had to Hotham. Out

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: Hotham and I went ski Tree went skiing, and basically

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: it says a main event of skiing, as many of

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: us had troubles, was getting up on the white slopes

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: on tea bars, pime and or all the chair lifts.

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: By the end of the week, we had the gist

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: of the lot. After skiing at Hotham, we skied pretty hot.

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: Then the next paragraph says all together there were some

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: real hard times during the trip, like when Belinda Irons

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: used her lunch box on.

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: The bus to catch her sick. And I quizzed her

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: about this.

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: And she said, it was a pretty tough time in

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: my life because she had the nickname Chili Chanda for

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: about for the rest of the year. She was known

28
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: as the Chili Chanda from a ski trip. And I

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: just thought to myself, what were you.

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: Known for in high school?

31
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, many people don't like to visit and revisit

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: those memories of how they got those nicknames.

33
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 4: It must have been read like if it was carrot

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 4: in the vomit, it would have been.

35
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 5: Well, they were on a ski trip, carrot face and

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 5: she spewed on the bus.

37
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: Was she just cassick made or was.

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: She must have been She actually got quite emotional thinking

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: about it.

40
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 3: She said, that was a really tough period.

41
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 5: Of my high school when she was Chili Chanda, when

42
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 5: she was from as Chili chan to hear everyone just

43
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 5: would everyone just used to get stuck into it because

44
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 5: she had a bit of a bomb bomb on the

45
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 5: on the bus on the way home from Haltham.

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 6: And the terrible thing about those nicknames is once they

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 6: catch on, there is nothing you can do to stop it. Nothing,

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 6: not one damn thing. You just need to accept it

49
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 6: and start referring to yourself as Chilichunda chili.

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: Trying to see guys, it can be really hard.

51
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to go into details that

52
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: we had rubber Man at school. We also had another

53
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: guy called Squirter, and then we also when I was

54
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: when I was I had a pair of velvet shorts

55
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: when I was a kindergarten kid and I was waiting

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: far too long for the slide.

57
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: And like the ones you've got on today, yeah.

58
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: Similar pair.

59
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: And I had an accident in the back of the

60
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: strides and filled them, filled them and got in the

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 1: car at the end of the day and Mum said,

62
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: what's that smell? And anyway, from that day on, my

63
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: two sisters would call me Skiddy due to the damage

64
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: in the back of the stride, and I just every

65
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: time we were out or with another family or a

66
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: group and they when you sky come up, I would.

67
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 4: Just die inside. It's amazing I'd left in my pants.

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: Well let's yeah, yeah, you were.

69
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 5: Well, you're the ambassador for summer ats now, but it's

70
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: it's a really tough time in your life.

71
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I've got a mate.

72
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: Who played a school football game and he got so

73
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: angry with the opposition player that he actually just used

74
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: his footy boots and scraped down this kid's leg.

75
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: He opened the opening kid's leg up. Yeah. His nickname

76
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: since then has been Sprigger.

77
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: So it's that one incident in his life and he's

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: still known his nickname is Sprigger to this day.

79
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: I know. It's amazing, isn't it.

80
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: And you'd think maybe the world will move on, But

81
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: it's when you hit things like BJ's school reunion, it

82
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: all just comes flooding back and nothing's changed. Chrissy, I

83
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: went to a school reunion a while ago and it

84
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: was a formal event, so everyone was in suits in Paris.

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: No, it wasn't in Paris, man, it.

86
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 6: Was tedious.

87
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: It was in a hall anyway.

88
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: There were two old blokes from the class of eighty

89
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: five that got into a knuckle over something that had

90
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: happened back in their school days, and one of them,

91
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: one of them threw a glass of red at the other,

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: which was a.

93
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 6: Waste grain it would have been grange, and he got a.

94
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: Glass of Hill of Grace thrown back at him, and

95
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: it was just on for young and old Cavia flying everywhere.

96
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: It was a mess.

97
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Luckily both fathers were lawyers and they had a good representation.

98
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: Still in court. It's been twelve years.

99
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: What were you known for in high school? And you

100
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: could never shake that tag? Aj and Schofields. We were

101
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: you famous for?

102
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: Ajs?

Speaker 7: I was famous for and I'm still famous for being

104
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 7: called toe strapped.

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: It is that that.

106
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 7: I'm part of a surf lafe saving club and we

107
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 7: were competing in a surf boat race and in the

108
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 7: rage got hit far away. My whole body left the

109
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 7: boat and only my feet were brestel in the boat

110
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 7: and I've managed to cling on with my toes onto

111
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 7: a strap that was in the boat, and I pulled

112
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 7: myself back into the.

113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 8: Boat with.

114
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 7: Everyone just focused on my feet and started calling me.

115
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,559
Speaker 1: And after this call they might call you trumpet bump.

116
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to work out what that noise is

117
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: in the background.

118
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 6: Oh, good man, it's a strange place to go.

119
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: Give me that s toes.

120
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: He's very literally, Dave, isn't it? Chris in Blacktown? What

121
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: high school did you go to? Chris? Where were you?

122
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 7: Oh?

123
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 8: Mate, Yeah, yeah, I went. I went to Saint Andrews

124
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 8: out here in Marion.

125
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, good school.

126
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: What were're known for, Chris.

127
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 8: Mate, I was called ballots.

128
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 7: So it's spelled b a l ut.

129
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 8: If you google it right now.

130
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 7: You'll probably have a laugh.

131
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 8: But I used to play basketball at my cousin's house,

132
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 8: and even until now isn't grown man and grown adult,

133
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 8: I still get called the lots because apparently I kept

134
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 8: eating all the eggs every time that we'd play basketball

135
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 8: and i'd help myself in the kitchen, and my cousin's

136
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 8: brother would always say, you keep eating all the eggs here,

137
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 8: You're going to end up like a ballot one day

138
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 8: or like an egg and then yeah, so that was

139
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 8: since I was thirteen, and I still get called that now.

140
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: So a lot is when is that when the embryo

141
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: sort of actually, that's when the sort of the chick

142
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: is developed?

143
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: Is that correct? Chris in the egg?

144
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 8: That's exactly right. But it's an eggs peters. Yeah, it's peter,

145
00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 8: not fetus.

146
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 6: Not feed it fetus again a very specific slightly.

147
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: Why wouldn't you egghead?

148
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, still known to these days, but.

149
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 8: They said, yea even like.

150
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: Some reason, Yeah, the old egg fetus. Why don't they

151
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: just call you fetus or something? I don't know It

152
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: just feels like a hard word to make stick that

153
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: it did.

154
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 6: I don't know about you, but I feel very unwell

155
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 6: having just googled what a blot is. The image is

156
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 6: like the stuff of night? Is it is?

157
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: It just like a little fetus in an egg?

158
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a tiny chicken. Yeah, and he must be

159
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: eating that well.

160
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 3: That's oh.

161
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,200
