back at school is.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
The gossip that.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You get around mate.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
This is what makes me notice because the Lawrence, A
lot of the kids go back this Thursday, and I
reckon all the mums and the chat groups are sitting
about going. There is a beautiful calm before this mad
storm that's about to hit.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Well, this is the thing. At the end of the year,
you're over school drop off and pick up. I mean,
you know all the goss. You know what's going on.
You know the single mums that are looking for new
relationships with the young teachers at the school and all
this kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
You've heard it all before.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You're sick of it, right, you want to go on holidays,
But when you're back, you're actually looking forward to hearing
about the goss and what's been happening around the school.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Have you got some gossip here?
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Man? Have I got some goss? Or not?
Speaker 6 (00:54):
So?
Speaker 3 (00:54):
School pick up? The other day.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I was talking and I was asking about a certain
family because I didn't see them. I wanted to catch
up with a dad It was a football related question
I needed to ask, And I asked one of the
mums have you seen him? And they said, oh, no,
haven't you heard. They've left the school. The families left
the school. And I said, why is that? Mum got
(01:19):
caught vaping in the kid's toilets at the Christmas carols?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
What an iconic sentence, Mum.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
If there's two things I want to do, you don't
sing too loud, don't vape in the toilets?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Really that bad? My god? Is that a dismissable offense?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Will you as a parent? It can be expelled from
a school?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Can I add to it?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
She was in the cubicle and there were kids in
the toilet, so there were young girls.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
There were other young girls. They were just they were
just at the sink.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But she was in the cubicle hiding on her pineapple
bubble gum flavor pape. And one of the teachers came
in to tell the girls you're up next with the
Christmas carols and.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Knocked on the door and this mum in their vape?
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Is that?
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Just me? I don't think that's that bad? Is it
that bad?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I mean, if you try to set an example at
a kid's school Christmas fait.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
It's probably not the it's.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The the example that you're human being, you can't get.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Expelled as a family.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But they were highly embarrassed about it, and they were
thinking about moving anyway, and.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
They've just packed up and gone to another school.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I hope that in the entrance interview they said, look,
you just want to know, is that are the fees
direct debit? How important is the time blazer? And also
am I allowed to vape in the toilets? We've just
got to cover all this.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Off thirteen twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Did you get into trouble at your child's school?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
He's another one for you. At the end of last year.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
At the inn of last year, a mate sent this
through but his son's high school.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
These what's that? These parent WhatsApp groups are just getting
out of control now.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So the year finished at the end of last year
and there was one mum who wanted answers.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
This is in the holidays.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
We're talking the Christmas holidays, wanting answers for twenty twenty
five and where do we get this and what do
we do that? And one of the other parents has
completely lost the plot and said, have a rest, we're
in the holidays, and then another family has gone that
person for blowing up. Theapp group has blown up and
(03:33):
the school has had to get involved and shut down
the WhatsApp group for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
It's done in Dusty.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
He's the one that we had on the chat the
other day.
Speaker 5 (03:45):

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Anyway, she's in kindergarten. One someone on the chat, right, is.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
It a concern that my daughter can't spell their name?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Is it the school's issue or is it your daughter's issue?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Or is it the parents issue?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Shouldn't they be able to spell their name by now?
My daughter can't.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
It's not my issue, but.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
That is a a valid question, and that would be
the schools issue. And also maybe it's time to call
in some help.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
If you need to.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I got in.
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Trouble not on WhatsApp because I'm a what do they
call it? You're a lurker, not a I'm a reader,
not a feeder. I can't wait into it, but I
owe every single time I send my children with the
correct color for Harmony Day or the streamers. I owe
it to those women on the WhatsApp that seem to
(04:46):
know everything. But I did get in trouble once. Actually
I've been I've been in trouble a few times, but
the most recent time was I had to leave a
call it some something else now. But it's essentially sex
education because I am really in my mind and everywhere
(05:11):
I'm twelve years old film and if someone mentions bosoms
or ovarias or periods or erections, I giggled like an
absolute idiot. And I have the misfortune of having a
daughter at the same school as an old school friend
of mine, so we always sit together, me and Nat
(05:34):
and it's just like being back at school. And I
had to get up in the middle of this. Everyone
is so mature and normal, and I am hunched over,
wheezing or bumping into chairs trying to get about of.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
This place because I am an idiot.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Of it, Like, oh my god, I cannot be trusted
to be grown up.

the car and bring on a case of beef for
everyone and share it around. I mean, which they don't
drink alcohol.

I love that JESU, isn't it You When you go
to a school event, there's always one parent at some
stage that will crack open an eski or something. Then
we'd drink that will come out at some stage.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
At my girls where my sisters went to school, Dad
would always he'd worked the hot dog stand at the
fair and you don't reckon he went one hot dog,
one glass of wine for me, one hot dog, one
glass of wine for me by the end of it.

a shoeing.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
This is the Fitzi and Wibber with Cape Ritchie podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Inappropriate places that the dancer has been called to go to.
And if you've got a story thirteen twenty four to ten,
and I brought this up, and you guys do not
believe it.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
But over Christmas we went through all the old.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Family photo albums and I found some photos that are really,
really alarming. And it was from my father's fortieth birthday party.
So Dad turns eighty this year. This is forty this
is forty years ago. But I'm about to put these
up on the screen for you guys. Now, John Mick
(09:13):
Fitzgerald in a chair with a red feather boa. There's
a lady in lingerine behind him, and that is my grandmother,
Hazel Fitzgerald. Where they're fisted up saying to the dancer,
you leave my son alone.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
Can I further she your grandmother looks like a caricature
of a grandmother. She's in a rose colored she looks
like day Medna Everridge.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And your dad has a red feather boa around him.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
And the stripper is wearing classic eighties underwear. Christ there
is something going on there. The photograph I will never
get out of my head.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Sway, Can I also bring this fits? Can we go
back to that top photo. I don't want to say,
I don't know how to really say this, but it
looks like Mick's actually really enjoying the attention.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
If you have a look at what's Betwidi's.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Hands there, it looks looks like mix given it three
thumbs up?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Na what no very, He's very embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
And I just can't believe in a room where there
are women and there's wives. The boys have obviously organized
this lady to come and do a performance for Dad,
but these women in the room.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Is that inappropriate? Is that not the time to have it?
Speaker 6 (10:34):
I just love at her feet is a classic ghetto
blaster a tea, I'm saying, or an aki. Yeah, it
would have been battery operated. I want to know what
song is blasting out of that to really set the mood?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Is it love a boy? What is it?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
If you look, if you look closely as well, there's
a bottle of champagne that I think she's ready to
spray al over Dad.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh, it's so so.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That is Hazel Fitzgerald not with us anymore, but Chrissy.
She was the first ever woman to play piano in
a beer guard, and so she could play the piano
with one schooner in one hand and her right hand
she could play the piano and her teeth used to
fall out over.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
The bars sometimes wonderful.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
It looks like she's just about to take off that
homie pad and roundly slap that lady.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Inappropriate places that an exotic dancer have been called. If
you've got a story thirteen twenty four to ten, there's
the can you show Chrissy the photo of my mum
dancing dressed? Does Madonna have a look at that, Chrissy?
Speaker 3 (11:42):
How good is mumby?
Speaker 6 (11:45):
She's looking over a shoulder. Is she keeping an eye
on the Helen Demko woman?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Now that the high.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Heels are off of the champagnes being opened by Mick,
anything could happen, so she's watching like a hawk.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Mum's got flats and stockings on. Remember that look where
you can wear socking flats?
Speaker 6 (12:01):
And was it a theme party? Because your dad's come
as David.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
Boony on the way here?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
He was more Dennis Lily. Dad used to say he
used to look like Dennis.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I knew it was a cricket player.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
My son recently turned sixteen and he loves Middle Eastern food,
and I did a Middle Eastern feast at home, and
I thought wouldn't it be fun to have a belly
dancer arrive halfway through. And I did all the I
hit all the inquiries and I was ready to go,
and then I thought, on her, hang on, there's no
sadder moment than when all the excitement is over and
(12:39):
she's finished her dance and then she's got to put
a robe on and there's no music anymore. And then
she unplugged the ghetto blaster and you hand her three
hundred bucks and take her out to the back garage
and see you later. And I just thought, I don't
want that moment.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
On the end of it. No inappropriate. Mum.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Let's go to fat America. Yeah, Fatima and Dullitch, he'll

seen photos of mixed fortieth.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yes, so, mum, I found these photos over Christmas. Dad's
fortieth was at the Portner Lunger Surf Life Saving Class. Mum,
we need to question the entertainment that was there on
the night.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
Well, it was supposed to be a.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
What was it supposed to be a supergroom.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Like that was what was.
Speaker 10 (17:11):
But I think she was a skinny agress.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
It was supposed to be a fatagram. I remember those, yes,
because how funny is a woman in a big body?
But anyway, who organized this lady to gyrate and take
off all of clothes at the Portna lungersly Saving class?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Oh no, he did organize it, you know I did.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
I I was very disappointed, to be honest.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
What were you hoping she did well?
Speaker 10 (17:47):
Well at least entertainer And then you know what happened.
Mick's mum, Hazel, she was that disgusted that she went
up and sat up there with her and tried to
she said, get away from my dan big. It ended
(18:07):
up truly a nightmare. But everybody did a coup that
we ended up quite funny, to be honest.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Okay, all right, is dad there? So Dad had no
idea about this? Can you put Dad on? Dad?
Speaker 9 (18:25):
Dad?
Speaker 2 (18:26):

She sat on my lap. Was that bigged after a while?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
And hardy bloody walked?
Speaker 11 (19:02):
But she was She wasn't an expert. I don't think
she done it very very often, to be honest, right, first.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Time a trainee on the job, you might say, me.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Think it was strange that your wife organized another lady
to dance for you.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
Yeah, Well, to be honest with you, I was. It
was a bit of a shot. Of course, everybody and
the old joint bloody cracked up and all that.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Hazel Mick, can you remember what she was saying to
you and saying to the exotic dancer.

She was trying to grab Old of the Guild of
Blood because she was on my lap. She's trying to
grab Old of her leaving my son alone, leave him alone,
get away from my son, very protected. Yeah, so I remember,
