1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: It's as Whipper We Cheat Ritchie Podcast. Hello, and welcome

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: to the PITSI and Whipper with Kate Ritchie Podcast. I'm

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: filling in this week as the former newsreader Matt Degruz,

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: who is Well, I'm still Matt Degree, don't I. It's

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: just my job is gone. My name remains the same.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: And this is part of the bonus episodes that we're

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: running over summer and over Christmas where we celebrate some

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: of the best moments of the year. Now these moments

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: carry a little bit more significance in my life because

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: if you followed the show, I'm no longer part of it.

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: So I get to invoice for this podcast separately, which

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: I'm actually quite pleased about. And so instead of the

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: top moments of the year, I'll be counting down the

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: top five moments of my time on the show. All right,

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the next one, Michael's walked in, Hey do you want

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: to be part of the Matt de Grout Reminiscing podcast?

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: Considering it's your podcast and none of you are here

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: to help me sort of reminisce and celebrate my time

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: on the show, Whipper, I thought, Hey.

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's be involved. I know you are. I'm

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: not here, You're right here.

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: I would strangle a dolphin to be involved in the

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: let's reminisce about Matt de group podcast.

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: What's your favorite memory whilst we're here? We're just counting

25
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: them down.

26
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: You asked me not to talk about it.

27
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: It was a boys trip to Canberra on the show sas.

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: We've been asked not to talk about that. Also, you

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: know when I first kind of said stop at this

30
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: idea and you were going to be on another TV

31
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 3: show called Sex on the Beach?

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: Nah was this?

33
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: There's been a few and you you auditioned with your

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: shirt off?

35
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: Ah, that was Yeah, they've been a netflik jeez. To

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: be fair, I've walked myself into a few of these.

37
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: It was a reality show that Netflix had just commissioned

38
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: where newly married couples were going to be filmed in

39
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: their life of bliss after and they were going to

40
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: follow their journey and it was a great opportunity.

41
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: To just sort of see what life was like.

42
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: And I was very excited to be asked by Netflix,

43
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: and so I went to the Netflix office to their

44
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: actual casting room and did a proper.

45
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: And the director to asked you to take your shirt off,

46
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: which you did. That's funny because when I say take

47
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: your shirt off flashes me back to a couple of

48
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 3: other things. We did an any stitch up at a university, yes,

49
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: where Matt had to repeat everything I said into his ear.

50
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: That was funny, and he took his shirt off again

51
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: in front of sort of a lecture of two hundred

52
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: UNI students.

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: You're going to remember that was obviously a different time

54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: culturally as well, where being in a position of power

55
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: and taking your shirt off in front of students and

56
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: they were university students. They went high school university students.

57
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Was it was fun at the time. Now that would

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: probably be more tasteless. Yeah, and that's why we don't

59
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: play that audio over again. But I never supported that either.

60
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: No I did. There was.

61
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: I remember it because I was giving a lecture on

62
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: how to do radio news to these students who were

63
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: just confused as to what this idiot was talking about

64
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: as widthed me lines into my ear. And what I did,

65
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: quite like, was go, Okay, this is the most important

66
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: thing I'm going to tell you. Pull out your pen,

67
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: pull out your notepad. Whichever one did I sound to

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: tell you the number one advice to getting into the industry,

69
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: and like, okay, zero four.

70
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Phone number, how many calls did you get yet? Together?

71
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: That was like when you put my mobile phone up

72
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: at the screen at Sydney FC that during a game

73
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: that was on the big screen, put my mobile phone number.

74
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: That's why I don't have the same mobile phone number anymore.

75
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: Right, Well, if i'd known about that. The other one too.

76
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: The other one too was when you were on the

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: field that day. I asked her to do a few

78
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: different things. And there was a movie called American Pie

79
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: a while ago which a signature danceman came out where

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: you kind of put your hand out and then you're

81
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: sort of almost slapping. I don't really understand the.

82
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: Idea donkey writing donkey.

83
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you have the carrot dangling front in front

84
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: of the donkey's face and everything. Anyway, Matt started doing that.

85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: I'm in front of seventy thousand people and that's where

86
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: I think one of our CEOs may have been in.

87
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: The crowd that night. And feedback was negative. Again, that

88
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: was a miss.

89
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: That was a miss. But I'll tell you what the

90
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: perfect Seguayo, what I would say is the biggest hit,

91
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: which was the Manly Wharf relocation of furniture that's right,

92
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: which was just after I'd started, and so I didn't

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: know the depth of budget or immaturity that.

94
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 2: You guys had. Thank you. This is what I did approve.

95
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, until I got home one day and my entire

96
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: apartment had been cleared out everything, bedroom, furniture, cabinets in

97
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: the lounge room, the couch all gone as effort. You'd

98
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: moved out and it was reset up as a home TV,

99
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: plugged in everything on Manly Wharf.

100
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: I was playing their PlayStation sitting on a couch on

101
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: Manly Wharf.

102
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: As I then got led down.

103
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: It was a It was a promo for two guys

104
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: in a truck, the removal us. It was very good

105
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: and was the first time I was like, these guys

106
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: are smart funny.

107
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, smart funny, which is the hashtag we used

108
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: for the fifty monfo Coat Richie show. We had the

109
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: only missed that day because that all went to plan

110
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: except when we went to move the top drawer of

111
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: your bedside table. That that involved some gloved warfs.

112
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: Let's have a listen to that one.

113
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: And with Cambridge Podcast, this.

114
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 4: Was brilliant because we got Matt Dagrut, our news reader

115
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: and Absolute Beauty together with our mates from two men

116
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: in a truck. We decided while Matt was here at work,

117
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 4: but we'd get them to go around and move the

118
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: contents of Matt's house, everything that he owns out of

119
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: his place and set it up identically on Manly wall.

120
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: Yes.

121
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: So look, if you removed the walls from Matt's apartment

122
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: and you got all the gearances to put it on

123
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 3: Manly Wharf, that's effectively what happened. This has to be

124
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: one of the highlights of my life. To see your

125
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: reaction when this happened.

126
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 4: Okay, So we set all the tourniture down at the

127
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 4: wharf in front of the TV was screening his apartment,

128
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: so we had a computer there and we could see

129
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: this live. We were videotaping this as well. We were

130
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: watching everything that happened on his TV. This was Maddie

131
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 4: Degret when he got home from work.

132
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: Here it is okay, hello, look at him, look at him.

133
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: Things he's been wrong because don't know what's going on.

134
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, mine, how are you mine? It's fitting whipper

135
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,120

137
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: camera and we can see you there.

138
