1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast. I've

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: got a little story about honesty for you before we

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: head into the seven o'clock news. Well, this is maybe

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 1: this is a little bit too far, but I guess

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: not everyone, when they have a loved one pass away

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 1: in their lives, are too upset about it, and in

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: fact they're quite happy to see that person go. I mean,

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to get bogged down in the reasons,

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: but if you have the chance to speak up once

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: that person has gone, it's about as honest as it gets.

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: This this woman, well you meant to speak ill of

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: the dead, are you?

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 2: Well?

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: They say that, but I look, I guess the frustration

15
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: from someone might be this is ridiculous. If this person

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: has caused us so much pain throughout our life, now

17
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: we're going to sit here and say they were really

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: good mother, and they're a really good person, do you

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So here we go. This woman.

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: It's an obituary and she's written that the daughter has

21
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: written it and she's claimed that the mother terrorized people.

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: So it's gone completely viral. I mean, I'll just read

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: it to ding dong the witch is dead. O. Good stuff.

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: I know, says Christina. It has your attention, doesn't it.

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: She noted that in the obituary, and mother had died

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: on February twenty second this year, without family by her side,

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: due to burnt bridges and a wake of destruction left

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: in her path. She said that she hadn't spoken to

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: a mum in about a decade and that she learnt

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: of her passing through other people even though she wasn't

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: in touch. Florence did not want an obituary or anyone

32
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: including family, to know that she died. That's because even

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: in death, she wanted those she terrorized to still be

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: living in fear looking over their shoulders. So this isn't

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: so much an obituary, but more of a public service announcement.

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: She told the news that she even considered listing all

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: of the ways mum terrorized the extended family. She did

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: decide against us that would have been an expensive ad.

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: And she added that her intention was to write a

40
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: traditional obituary, but she found herself leaning leaning towards this,

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: and once the pen was in the hands, she thought, no,

42
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: this is this is my journaling.

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: I had a bit of a full blown argument with

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: an old man the other day. He had a gal

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 2: aty for Beastie being off his leash.

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: What did you say to him?

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: I said, have a look around, mate, how is he

48
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: causing trouble and why does he have to be on

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: a leash in this area? And he goes, well, my

50
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: dog's around here, it's on a leash, and my dog

51
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: gets fired up when I see other dogs. And there

52
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: was a moment where I took a deep breath and

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: I looked at him. I said, you're getting real grumpy

54
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: in your old age. He didn't like that.

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: No, he wouldn't have is calling him on it. Do

56
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: you know what those Maybe you're getting grumpy fits if

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: you're feeling the need to snap her back at the

58
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: poor old guy with the dog. There was an old

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: man in the park. There was a guy.

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: When I walked off, there was an element of me going, oh,

61
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: that was very Mick Fixture.

62
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,600
