00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Guy Sebastian. He's doing something a huge feat here to

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: raise a lot of money to the Sebastian Foundation, and

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 1: we're going to get him on now to chat about

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: a Guy Sebastian today.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: Hello fellows, Hello much. I am good. It's gonna it

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: will be a huge feet and possibly my feet will

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: also be huge from swelling.

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: Oh walking, So you're starting in wagga, wagga, tell us

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: what are you doing, guy?

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: I'm doing a walk for my found, the Sebastian Foundation,

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: with me and my best mate Tim Freeburn, who Whippers

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 2: met quite a few times. I'm sorry about that.

13
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: That's okay.

14
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: If we're walking five hundred k's, we're doing about fifty

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: k's a day. In about ten days, we're going to

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: be walking, which is more than a marathon a day.

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: I've never really done anything like this before, but of

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: course I got very excited at the prospect of raising

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: money for this pretty amazing program that we're funding as

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 2: a foundation, Open Parachute. It's a youth mental health program

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: and it's in schools. That's any teacher can teach it.

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: It's like a peer to peer program, so you've got

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of kids who are talking about their

24
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: own mental health battles ranging from bullying and depression. Anxiety

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: can send a whole bunch of important issues that you know,

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: obviously there's not a lot being talked about, and then

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: we're really passionate about getting in early when it comes

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: to mental health to put a bit of an armor

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: around these kids. The program's amazing, you know, obviously it's

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: a lot I can talk about it, but it's developed

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: by a clinical psychologist by the name of doctor Hayley

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: that we were lucky enough to you for our path

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: to cross. And it's just a really great program that

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: gets kids talking about these issues in a classroom sitting

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: well you do.

36
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: You do phenomenal work for charity and this is just

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: next level what you're doing here. And guy, you've been

38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: through that transformation as well. You're a bloke right now.

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: You mentioned you mate, Tim. Now, Timmy, if you don't

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: know him, is probably what I would describe as a

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: rounder guy. He's drunk too much session, I know that much,

42
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: and he loves say a dozen beers in half an hour.

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: But I would suspect that Tim might experience a thing

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: called chafe. I hope he's listening. Listening, I would suspect

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: you first half an hour.

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: The biggest worry.

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 3: Have you got Vasoline on board as a sponsor?

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: Oh mate, I've got Vassoline. We've got poor Poor We've

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: had to really expand the range of chasing remedy because

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: what if one doesn't work? Now you know what we've done.

51
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: We've actually got a whole lot of I wasn't going

52
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: to talk about this, but we've been in the step

53
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: one undies. Oh yeah, maybe some of the things we've

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: been talking about is so weird, Like undies apparently are

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: a massive thing. Like you've got you got the right

56
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: jocks and then you change your socks and shoes and stuff.

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Getting the right shoes obviously to walk for five hundred

58
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: kilometers and we've got wheely bins so we've got to

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: fill them up with ice every night and have ice

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: maas from the way down. And yeah, it's pretty full on.

61
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: But I just I don't know, I love this. At

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: the end of the day. There's a few things I'm

63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: worried about. Beyond his chafing. I've got to put up

64
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: with him every day, Like imagine walking, you know, him

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: and his banter just walking with him for that twelve

66
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: hours a day or something.

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: He won't stop.

68
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: So are you stopping in there like journey and Courdamundra

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: and stuff on the way? You're doing stuff there, guy,

70
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: or just getting ready for the next day.

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: No, now we'll be stopping in and you know, obviously

72
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: having a little schnitty and probably a well deserved beer

73
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: at the end of each night, and then and stopping

74
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: in his saying get some people, and mainly just trying

75
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: to power through this walk. It's going to be a

76
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: bit of a mental challenge as well.

77
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: Getting to do that. Will you take.

78
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: I think, I actually think my little brother is going

79
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: to come up and he's going to follow us in

80
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: a Jacob and love that and that'll have the wheely

81
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: bins in it, and so I'm looking forward to it.

82
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: A lot of these towns, you know, they definitely have

83
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: quite a lot of issues amongst their youth with mental health,

84
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: and they've all gone on board. And look, we're trying

85
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: to raise a million bucks. It's a lot and this

86
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: is just you know, with thirty dollars a kid to

87
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: go through the program for a whole year, that kind

88
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: of money puts thousands and thousands of kids through this

89
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: and help them, you know, obviously develop that mental armor

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: that we're trying to give them.

91
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: And twenty twenty two is going to be big guy.

92
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: It's all well, let's hope we're back. We're back watching gigs,

93
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: watching you live, watching you tour again. There won't be

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,880

Speaker 2: on a plane and I'll have my feed up between shutters.

00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: rough time in my industry.
