1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,320

Speaker 1: When I agreed to do this course, I set myself

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: two simple goals. Be totally honest with myself, complete the course.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: This is what happened at the end of Well.

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: I'm taking from it is I'm when I pull my time,

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: my emotion into the places.

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: That deserve in my life.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 1: It starts with my kids and just making shore I'm

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: the best role model for them. It's just a great

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: lesson in life. The reunion show is tonight seven thirty

Speaker 1: on Channel seven. Says Australia. Semi Burgess joins us right there, Hey,

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: good morning fellows.

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 3: How are you me?

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: This is awesome. We know there's a bit of a delay.

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: You're still over in Thailand. As Russell Crow's security guard

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: made last night was awesome. It must have been such

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: a rush when you were broken, the pain in your

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: shoulder holding onto that rope and then to finally win

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: the entire show.

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, look with the show is it's just such a

25
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 3: great experience throughout from starting to finish. You know that

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: the emotional ride, you go on, the physical challenges, but

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 3: hanging onto that rope probably it's the worst worst position

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: for me to be in. And you know, my shoulder

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: had taken a battery in the last two weeks. So

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: it was good to finish it. I'm glad for the

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: physical pain to be over. And you know, to be

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: named that the obviously be selected was pretty good. I

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: felt I did feel for Mark and john because they

34
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: were amazing. Of course, you know it's it's like a

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: really bit sleet moment. I didn't really want to celebrate

36
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 3: or any there. It was a really weird thing, but

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: obviously very proud.

38
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Well see Sammy, I really I was really upset, to

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: be honest with you, even Yana to a certain point

40
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: because she wanted to pull out a couple of times

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: she kept going, I feel like it's a waste of

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: time if you got all the way to the end

43
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: and you didn't give up. And Johnny Stevenson the Pooh

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: and also Yana Pittman an amazing effort. But to be

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: told you did complete the course but you weren't good enough.

46
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: They must have been. What was it like when filming

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: finishing you walked off, SAMMI were they really upset?

48
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 3: I think they were proud to get to the end, right.

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: It's even completing the course is a huge achievement, you know.

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: I think, like the way I'm explained just said, there's

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: just you know, probably in last season they would have

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: made it, you know, they said, but there's just a

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: bit of a difference. You know, some things I was

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: a bit more consistent on and for that reason they

55
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: decided to choose me. But like I said that, they

56
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: were amazing that the pool on a machine. He is

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: a great guy and vincious little dude, you know, and

58
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: we've got a great relationship from the from the show.

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: So it was an awesome experience, Sammy, Can you tell

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: me any you got it?

61
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: Really good point. They've asked me to me to be

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: an instructor. I've done some I've done some challenging things

63
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: in my time, like I once did. I did an

64
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: economy flight from Sydney to Melbourne which was pretty full

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: on they ran out of I got through that. It

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: was pretty tough.

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: He got audered once as.

68
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: Well, account that was you know, got a flat tire.

69
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: I do feel like, Sammy, this did change your life.

70
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean there were moments on there, the death notice,

71
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: and we spoke to Jana Pittmer about this and also

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Mark Philipposs. But you talking about your mum and your brothers,

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: you broke down in tears. They're defining moments like that,

74
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: and this is I feel like it's a huge weight

75
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: off your shoulders now and like you're sitting in that

76
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: grab at the start you now know what to focus on.

77
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's in moments of discomfort or for figue,

78
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 3: when you're right at the bottom of the battle, you

79
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: do find some clarity. I mean the desk letter exercise

80
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: was a total surprise. And when I went to put

81
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 3: pen to paper, you know, you set a wave of emotion,

82
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: so many things I wanted to say, and then reading

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: it out loud, oh Jesus, it killed me softly at heart.

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: I love my family and my kids, my mom, my brothers,

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: you know, more than in the world. So it did

87
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: make me like, sometimes why do we wait to say

88
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: the things? You know, the most important people in our lives,

89
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: so we should focus all our energy and the attention

90
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: to that part of that.

91
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: Let's get away from Australia now we need to focus

92
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: on Thailand. Have you been cast as an extra in

93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: the movie yet? Like, are you in the background semi?

94
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: Have you been asked to be on set?

95
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: Now? I will not not in this movie. I'm officially

96
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: I'm officially behind the camera in this one, which which

97
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: is a shame on this previous movie. I got a

98
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: little role, speak to a role on camera. But but

99
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: but now I'm here the acme of work. This is

100
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: an amazing, amazing production. Here Peter Farrelly, he directed The

101
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: Green Book. Yes, my favorite movies. He's a wonderful a

Speaker 3: wonderful leader of man leading the group of people are here,

103
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,880

Speaker 3: four hours ago. We did do night shoots. We got

Speaker 1: Hi, watching watching the Guru on set, like getting into character.

115
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, Honestly, guys, he's amazing at his job. He really is.

116
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that, you know, because he's a good

117
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: friend and a boss. But you know, so Zach Efron's

118
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: in this movie as well, and you know, watching other

119
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: actors on Russell, you sort of realize how respected in

120
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: this field. Isn't pet Pete Farley amazing director? That The

121
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: working relationship we have brilliant And when it's time to

Speaker 3: do the business, he's he gets the job done.

123
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: He's just hanging around as a security.

124
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's now a movie reporter. Hey, how far

125
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,160

126
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: The other side? Go and knock on his door nowhere

127
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: knock no way.

128
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Hi, semmy before you go. Obviously, last time we spoke

129
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: to you, the rabbit Ears were going into the Grand Final,

130
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: disappointing for the boys. Big question everyone Wayne Bennett will

131
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: be leaving the Rabbit Eyes and there's talk that he

132
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: will be coaching the Redcliff Dolphins. Will he poach some

133
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: of your boys from the rabbit Ears? Could that be

134
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: a chance?

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure. Think of him poaching players. I

136
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: think it'll be more than players might follow Wayne. You

137
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: know he is, He's like I must say. You know,

138
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: people want to play for him, the sacrifice, you know, money,

139
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: whatever it is where they live to go and play

140
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: Underway Bennett because they all come back better people, better players.

141
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: Would you? Would you coach Andre? But Sam? Would you?

142
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: Would you assistant coach?

143
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: If he asked, No, I couldn't do that. I couldn't

144
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: do that, not not a records I could if he

145
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: was a physics Still, yes, exactly.

146
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: And how far are you from Wayne Bennett's room?

147
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: Could you?

148
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: You don't like him? Up?
