Speaker 2: Selection for the SAS is a test like no other.

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: Shut off you need.

5

Speaker 1: That is tonight Wednesday night. It's Monday to Wednesday tonight

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: seven thirty. One man that has surprised me and has

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: been a trooper on the show. We've been talking about

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Yanna Pittman so much and her mental fortitude, but another

10
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: one who's been standing at mentally doing very very well

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 1: is the Pooh. The Scudy joins us now.

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 4: But please hollo buddy.

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: Good morning guys, thanks for having me mate.

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 4: I think this has been the first time we've had

15
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 4: you on the show, which is an absolute honor because

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 4: we've seen you bust your gut. I know the filming

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 4: takes about fourteen days for a show like this, the starvation,

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 4: no food. How much weight did you lose over the

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 4: filming period?

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, not too much food. I ended up losing eight

21
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: kilos yeh two weeks.

22
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Do you know who lost the most? Pooh, that's the most.

23
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: Did you speak to any of these I don't know.

24
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think I was. I would be

25
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: up there because I probably had that much to lose anyway.

26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but do you know what, can I just say,

27
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: this is the game, and tennis is a game which

28
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: is very in chill, right individual you play by yourself.

29
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: When it comes to teams, you have a coach and

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: you do all of that. But you know there's a

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: huge advantage going onto a show like this for your

32
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: Sami Burgesses and your Heath Shaws, who have been part

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: of teams their whole life. For me, you have really

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: stood out on this show and you've put your hand up,

35
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: You've helped others to get through certain challenges. I feel

36
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: like every day you're growing stronger and stronger.

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: Poof thank you for the kind of words. I did

38
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: feel like as the the show went, or well the

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: course went on, I did feel I was getting stronger.

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: I think mentally I was getting stronger because, for instance,

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: at the end of day two, my knees were like balloons,

42
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: both my knees. I remember, like before bed like looking

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: I'm going, how am I going to do fourteen days?

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: I'm freaking out, like and I was just going, how

45
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 3: am I going to do this? This is only day two.

46
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 3: My knees are swollen up? And I remember just telling

47
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: myself just just you know, kind of shut up, just relax,

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: let's just take each course or each mission at a

49
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: time and don't overthink everything. And then the crazy thing is,

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 3: after day four, day five, my swelling went down. My

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 3: body kind of started adapting, and my mind was there.

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: So my mind allowed me to adapt. And I felt

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: like as it went on, I was just in a

54
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: good place mentally where I just said, no matter what happens,

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: I'm not going to stop. You know, I might not be.

56
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 5: I'm not going to be. I'm not the strongest on there.

57
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 5: I know.

58
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm not the fastest on there. I know, but I

59
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 3: really felt like my strength leading in would be my mindset.

60
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: What were you most nervous about going into it? Was

61
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 4: it the challenges or sharing personal thoughts?

62
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 3: No, it was for me not to overthink, which I

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: did a lot in the first two three days. That

64
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: person that kind of overthinks things. My mind goes million

65
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: miles an hour, NonStop, and it's just about telling myself

66
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: to calm down and just take it as it comes.

67
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: That what you were like as a player, was that

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: your biggest hurdle to overcome? It was it was That's

69
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 3: one of the things I loved about tennis, is you know,

70
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: I had a plan out there.

71
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 5: It's very simple.

72
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 3: I knew what my strengths were, and that was being

73
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: aggressive and keeping the play on my racket and letting

74
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: myself dictate the play. And if I went sometimes on

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: the court and I was thinking too much about what

76
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: my opponent likes to do and I was trying to

77
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: play too much chess or too much cat and mouse,

78
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: that wasn't to my strengths. If I when I'm in

79
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: the in that moment and I'm just reacting, I felt

80
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: like I was the strongest.

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Woll You were a bit out of control those scutt

82
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: you've spoken about this before. You know you're basically pibst

83
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: all your tennis money up the wall. You are really

84
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: you've spoken about this on the show already, and you

85
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: sort of let you let your family down, or felt

86
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: like you let your family down. There is an episode

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: coming up for everyone that I've been lucky to see,

88
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: and Scott, if you could tell us a little bit

89
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: about this. But you guys have to write a death

90
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: notice to your family.

91
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 4: You break down.

92
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: It is it is a really emotional episode and for you,

93
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that was the hardest part for you

94
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 1: to do on this whole series.

95
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, first of all, let me touch

96
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: on the pissed away. Yeah, I mean, I spent money

97
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: and unfortunately got myself in a tough situation with being injured.

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: Tennis is a one of those rare sports where if

99
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: you're injured and you're not playing, you're not making money. Yes,

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 3: it's like soccer that if you're injured, you're still getting paid.

101
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: Tennis you're not playing, you're not getting paid. So, you know,

102
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: put myself in a tough situation. But anyway, you move forward.

103
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: But I agree, I would have to say because we

104
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: had we woke up and then the sas soldier and

105
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: said every time they'd leave for a mission that they

106
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: would be asked to write a death letter just in

107
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 3: case it wouldn't come back, so they can be passed

108
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 3: on to your family. And some soldiers decided not to

109
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: write that letter. Dependent on the soldier what made them stronger.

110
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: Other people like that, other people didn't. And at that stage,

111
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: not speaking to my family, it was already in my mind.

112
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 3: I wasn't thinking about the family because you're so you're

113
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: so NonStop, you know, you're exhausted this you'rerunning out. So

114
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: we didn't have time to think about home, and I

115
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 3: felt like it was I didn't want to go there anyway,

116
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: because it would have been a weakness for me. I

117
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: wanted to stay strong.

118
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 5: Sure, but that's Jay.

119
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: And this was day twelve or day thirty, day day thirteen,

120
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: and by this.

121
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 5: Time, I'm running on fumes, you know what.

122
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm physically, emotionally, psychologically dreamed, and we're thinking, okay, whatever.

123
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 5: We had an hour to write it.

124
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: And in that hour, you know, if you ever have

125
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: been told write a letter just in case you oh

126
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: my god, it would be powerful. Yes, And with everything

127
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 3: that was happening, we wrote that letter and then he

128
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: asked us to read it out and I could hardly

129
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: get you know what I mean?

130
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 5: I could hardly read the letter.

131
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: Is it a great lesson, Poo for people to do.

132
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: You don't need to be in a situation like sas

133
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: to tell this is a great It's a great exercise

134
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: for anyone poo to write down the thoughts of your

135
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: family and what they mean to them, just to tell them,

136
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: because the majority of us don't do that.

137
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 5: One hundred pers You know what, it did. It put

138
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 5: everything in perspective.

139
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: It really showed, Oh, my god, like what really is

140
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: at the end of the day in this world? What

141
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 3: really is the most important thing? You know?

142
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 5: Whatever it is this and that the house? Is this?

143
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: That?

144
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: I mean, who gives it?

145
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Yes, it's important to have that,

146
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: that's that solid base for the family. But my God,

147
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: without the people you love and I'm thinking, you know,

148
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: and then making decisions if you're not there.

149
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 5: For them, and then you start thinking what's going to

150
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 5: happen to them? Are they're going to be okay?

151
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: And all these thoughts that come And it was man

152
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: after that I read that thing Hoe was just so

153
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: that was more physically, emotionally in psychologically draining then like

154
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: that log test and we had to carry that log

155
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: up the mount. Honestly, that took so much.

156
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 5: You could just see we were just drained.

157
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: You know that. That was a tough one and I

158
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,880
