When 7 00:00:32,001 --> 00:00:35,161 Speaker 1: we had the mike's and the cameras turned off, didn't 8 00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:38,081 Speaker 1: we agree? It was The Clink and I Catch Killers. 9 00:00:38,361 --> 00:00:40,121 Speaker 3: Well, I got you on the first episode. 10 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: Ye. 11 00:00:40,281 --> 00:00:42,121 Speaker 3: Well I tried to pull it on the second. Yeah. 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,961 Speaker 1: Yeah, nah, no, you're not going to sleep. Yeah, I learned, 13 00:00:45,081 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: Gary Jubilant, Okay, welcome back to part two of The 14 00:00:49,241 --> 00:00:52,001 Speaker 1: Clink and I Catch Killers episode. I was ambushed in 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,641 Speaker 1: part one, but all jokes aside. I think we've got 16 00:00:55,721 --> 00:00:57,761 Speaker 1: some worthwhile stuff to talk about. 17 00:00:58,081 --> 00:01:01,801 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, we really do. And look, I'm not going 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,041 Speaker 3: to apologize as you haven't for anything stuff apologize, you know, 19 00:01:07,601 --> 00:01:09,721 Speaker 3: like I swear by it. And I feel that these 20 00:01:09,761 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: are the conversations that we need to have, and we 21 00:01:12,961 --> 00:01:15,041 Speaker 3: have a platform to have this ability to have these 22 00:01:15,081 --> 00:01:18,401 Speaker 3: conversations in a respectful manner, but a very direct and 23 00:01:18,441 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: honest conversation. So to our listeners out there, I think 24 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,001 Speaker 3: from both of us, I hope you do appreciate where 25 00:01:25,041 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 3: we've come from in the angle that we've taken, because 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,041 Speaker 3: I feel that it needs to have been spoken of. 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,161 Speaker 3: Part two is now and it really is something worth 28 00:01:34,241 --> 00:01:38,681 Speaker 3: listening to. I feel that we're both trying to achieve 29 00:01:39,441 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: a very similar goal in what we see in what's 30 00:01:42,881 --> 00:01:47,721 Speaker 3: happening in our society, what's happening around the world, even 31 00:01:48,081 --> 00:01:51,641 Speaker 3: you know, whether it be through our youth, our young 32 00:01:51,681 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: person incarcerations, you know, I mean. 33 00:01:55,801 --> 00:01:57,881 Speaker 1: It seems like an angry place at the moment, doesn't 34 00:01:57,881 --> 00:02:01,281 Speaker 1: it that just has this feel, this vibe, It. 35 00:02:01,201 --> 00:02:04,721 Speaker 3: Really does, and I think that it's it's scary as 36 00:02:05,441 --> 00:02:10,961 Speaker 3: and both of young young persons, you know, what, what 37 00:02:11,001 --> 00:02:14,201 Speaker 3: does the world hold for them? You know, we're trying 38 00:02:14,201 --> 00:02:17,641 Speaker 3: to keep our children. I wouldn't say protected as in 39 00:02:18,281 --> 00:02:23,881 Speaker 3: knowledgeably protected, but definitely protected from things that could drag 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,481 Speaker 3: them into certain spaces. 41 00:02:25,921 --> 00:02:28,241 Speaker 1: My my thing. When I was in the cops, like 42 00:02:28,561 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to make a difference in crime. 43 00:02:30,641 --> 00:02:32,481 Speaker 3: I don't want to hear you talk about the cops anymore, 44 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:38,361 Speaker 3: Like let's move forward, but the cops, bik toole. I 45 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,601 Speaker 3: was a criminal before I was a biking. 46 00:02:40,321 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: Okay, but what I'm saying I still want to make 47 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,361 Speaker 1: a difference. 48 00:02:44,721 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: And what I've learned, so Gary Jubilan wants to make 49 00:02:47,401 --> 00:02:48,321 Speaker 3: a difference. 50 00:02:48,161 --> 00:02:50,161 Speaker 1: I want to. I want to make a difference in 51 00:02:50,201 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: the world the crime. I've still got passion, I've still 52 00:02:52,401 --> 00:02:54,801 Speaker 1: got anger. I still want to channel it, channel it somewhere. 53 00:02:55,161 --> 00:02:58,121 Speaker 1: But while I've worked out, these people have been making 54 00:02:58,121 --> 00:03:00,201 Speaker 1: a bigger difference in the world of crime than I 55 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: ever did with guns and the handcuffs. These are the 56 00:03:03,561 --> 00:03:09,041 Speaker 1: people that we're taught st justice. We talk about reducing recidivism, 57 00:03:09,081 --> 00:03:12,201 Speaker 1: putting young kids, pointing them in the right direction. Imagine 58 00:03:12,201 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: your life, Brent. I just thray this as a hypothetical. 59 00:03:15,081 --> 00:03:18,681 Speaker 1: If someone there and you went through some really rough stuff, 60 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: if someone there was therefore you and pointed you in 61 00:03:21,561 --> 00:03:23,481 Speaker 1: the right direction, could have that that could have made 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: the world the difference to you, just one good person. 63 00:03:26,441 --> 00:03:28,721 Speaker 3: And I've always said that, I even say it to 64 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,321 Speaker 3: my children. You know, what is your excuse? You have? 65 00:03:32,121 --> 00:03:34,641 Speaker 3: You know, parents that love you, a roof of your head, 66 00:03:34,721 --> 00:03:37,481 Speaker 3: clothes on your back, you've got food on the table, 67 00:03:37,761 --> 00:03:40,681 Speaker 3: You've got a warm bed to sleep in. You You're very, 68 00:03:40,801 --> 00:03:44,961 Speaker 3: very I guess loved within your peers, you've got support 69 00:03:45,041 --> 00:03:50,321 Speaker 3: within your sporting groups. All these wonderful things that are 70 00:03:50,401 --> 00:03:54,601 Speaker 3: there for everybody. What is your excuse to not putting 71 00:03:54,641 --> 00:03:57,001 Speaker 3: it in your best interests? And you know, being one 72 00:03:57,041 --> 00:04:00,161 Speaker 3: percent better every day than what you were yesterday. You 73 00:04:00,201 --> 00:04:03,081 Speaker 3: know what, what is the excuse? Because I know, for me, 74 00:04:03,641 --> 00:04:06,921 Speaker 3: I tried my best sleeping in a football oval middle 75 00:04:06,961 --> 00:04:09,961 Speaker 3: of winter, telling people that, you know, I had a 76 00:04:09,961 --> 00:04:12,401 Speaker 3: home to go to when I was I didn't I'd 77 00:04:12,401 --> 00:04:15,881 Speaker 3: go to football training. I was a great football I 78 00:04:15,921 --> 00:04:18,761 Speaker 3: had all the opportunities, but I'd wait till everybody had 79 00:04:18,801 --> 00:04:21,161 Speaker 3: taken off. I'd sneak back into the dressing sheds, you know, 80 00:04:21,201 --> 00:04:24,121 Speaker 3: after training in winter, have a quick shower, go and 81 00:04:24,161 --> 00:04:26,041 Speaker 3: get my sleeping bag that I'd stash in, and I'd 82 00:04:26,121 --> 00:04:27,681 Speaker 3: roll it out in the middle of a cricket pitch 83 00:04:27,721 --> 00:04:30,401 Speaker 3: and a pitch black oval. Why because I felt safer 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,001 Speaker 3: in the middle, because I didn't think anyone would have 85 00:04:32,041 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: the balls to walk through it. You know, things like 86 00:04:34,561 --> 00:04:37,681 Speaker 3: that that our children don't have to be concerned about. 87 00:04:38,041 --> 00:04:40,721 Speaker 3: You know what is the excuse? 88 00:04:40,761 --> 00:04:45,361 Speaker 1: There is none There there is none but one life 89 00:04:45,401 --> 00:04:49,361 Speaker 1: can go off track and your circumstances. Again, I keep 90 00:04:49,401 --> 00:04:51,561 Speaker 1: coming back to it because it just blows me away 91 00:04:51,601 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: that you've got to this point. Then you've given me 92 00:04:54,001 --> 00:04:57,841 Speaker 1: some cuthos, full quthos to you what you're doing with 93 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,681 Speaker 1: your life now, Like I know what you're doing, and 94 00:04:59,921 --> 00:05:02,041 Speaker 1: you're trying to make a difference, And you are actually 95 00:05:02,041 --> 00:05:04,881 Speaker 1: making a difference with the messaging that's coming out from 96 00:05:04,921 --> 00:05:07,281 Speaker 1: the Clink, because the one thing that comes across in 97 00:05:07,281 --> 00:05:10,081 Speaker 1: the Clink is about stories of redemption. So it doesn't 98 00:05:10,121 --> 00:05:12,201 Speaker 1: matter how low you are in life, there's always a 99 00:05:12,241 --> 00:05:15,081 Speaker 1: possibility that you can turn things around. And I think 100 00:05:15,601 --> 00:05:18,361 Speaker 1: if we're talking about reducing crimes and lives that have 101 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,641 Speaker 1: gone off track, that's such strong messaging, isn't it. It 102 00:05:23,721 --> 00:05:26,841 Speaker 1: doesn't matter where you are, you can make something of 103 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,001 Speaker 1: your life. You can turn it around. 104 00:05:28,001 --> 00:05:30,041 Speaker 3: I want to give credit to everybody out there that 105 00:05:30,161 --> 00:05:33,721 Speaker 3: has experienced and I'm a big believer in lived experience 106 00:05:34,001 --> 00:05:37,761 Speaker 3: is very, very wealthy in knowledge, and I feel that 107 00:05:37,841 --> 00:05:40,001 Speaker 3: there's a lot of us out there, and I say 108 00:05:40,121 --> 00:05:42,681 Speaker 3: us as in a broader spectrum of persons who have 109 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,921 Speaker 3: walked the other side of life or whatever you want 110 00:05:46,921 --> 00:05:49,241 Speaker 3: to call it. I don't like to label us as 111 00:05:49,241 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: all criminals. Criminality is a part of my past, but 112 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,401 Speaker 3: there's a lot of men and women out there today 113 00:05:56,521 --> 00:06:01,121 Speaker 3: who are coming forward through their lived experience and making 114 00:06:01,161 --> 00:06:04,721 Speaker 3: a difference in so many different spaces. For you to 115 00:06:04,721 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: ignore persons similar to myself across that board, I think 116 00:06:10,561 --> 00:06:13,081 Speaker 3: is a really really nice thing, and I think that 117 00:06:13,161 --> 00:06:15,761 Speaker 3: it's actually not a bad thing seeing someone like yourself 118 00:06:16,241 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: who has stepped away from that law authority sort of 119 00:06:20,121 --> 00:06:23,561 Speaker 3: figure to now actually seeing things from a different perspective, 120 00:06:23,921 --> 00:06:29,841 Speaker 3: understanding more about the wise. Why do people become the 121 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,121 Speaker 3: way that they do. Why does someone like whom you 122 00:06:33,281 --> 00:06:37,881 Speaker 3: were in that sort of position of law dealing with 123 00:06:38,361 --> 00:06:44,361 Speaker 3: angry people with addiction, you know, just people with a 124 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: high rate of crime. Why And now you're starting to 125 00:06:48,561 --> 00:06:52,281 Speaker 3: see from the outside looking back in to the realisms 126 00:06:52,281 --> 00:06:53,681 Speaker 3: of why people. 127 00:06:55,601 --> 00:06:58,801 Speaker 1: I think where I'm in a fortunate position. I honestly 128 00:06:58,841 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: believe I'm in a fortunate position because people are not 129 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,041 Speaker 1: going to look at me at there's a bleeding hard 130 00:07:03,161 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: or a do good if I'm saying, well, you know, 131 00:07:05,521 --> 00:07:09,401 Speaker 1: maybe we could do something differently that they not looking 132 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,521 Speaker 1: at me as just someone that's just been sold the 133 00:07:12,561 --> 00:07:15,001 Speaker 1: dummy and yeah, let's go soft on crime and the 134 00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:16,921 Speaker 1: world will be a beautiful place. It's not that way. 135 00:07:17,321 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: You made the point of lived experience. I cannot stress 136 00:07:22,001 --> 00:07:26,601 Speaker 1: highly enough how important drawing on that is. People like yourself. 137 00:07:26,801 --> 00:07:28,881 Speaker 1: If you sit down and speak to someone whose life's 138 00:07:28,881 --> 00:07:32,401 Speaker 1: going off track the path that you've gone, they're going 139 00:07:32,481 --> 00:07:34,761 Speaker 1: to listen to you. I know what. I know what 140 00:07:34,801 --> 00:07:36,721 Speaker 1: the brain's like. When you're a young bloke and you're 141 00:07:36,721 --> 00:07:39,401 Speaker 1: heading off in directions, you look up to certain people. 142 00:07:39,401 --> 00:07:42,361 Speaker 1: Who's certain people who listen to other people that you ignore. 143 00:07:42,841 --> 00:07:45,201 Speaker 1: Before we sat down here and you ambushed me in 144 00:07:45,361 --> 00:07:47,921 Speaker 1: part one I was talking to just had a text 145 00:07:47,921 --> 00:07:51,401 Speaker 1: from Nada Hamden, who you know through through. 146 00:07:51,801 --> 00:07:52,841 Speaker 3: And so much respectful. 147 00:07:54,361 --> 00:07:58,601 Speaker 1: Yeah, a top bloke and he's doing he's doing some 148 00:07:58,681 --> 00:08:02,041 Speaker 1: work in the juvenile justice space and at schools and 149 00:08:02,081 --> 00:08:05,721 Speaker 1: he was a top world rated boxer for will World titles. 150 00:08:05,921 --> 00:08:09,921 Speaker 3: Nata Hamden is just a genuinely beautiful man who has 151 00:08:10,401 --> 00:08:14,961 Speaker 3: a set of hands that could put anybody.

And the way you've described him is when 172 00:09:09,001 --> 00:09:11,961 Speaker 1: the kids takes boxing gear in there, I'll do a 173 00:09:12,001 --> 00:09:14,881 Speaker 1: bit of training, break it down, and they look up 174 00:09:14,881 --> 00:09:16,681 Speaker 1: to him and respect and he's got all these words 175 00:09:16,681 --> 00:09:19,721 Speaker 1: of words of wisdom based on his own life experience, 176 00:09:19,961 --> 00:09:22,601 Speaker 1: and he managed to get through and not many do 177 00:09:23,041 --> 00:09:25,481 Speaker 1: through that juvenile justice system, but not go back in 178 00:09:26,041 --> 00:09:28,881 Speaker 1: the prison as an adult, and so there's something therefore 179 00:09:29,161 --> 00:09:31,161 Speaker 1: for him known. 180 00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:34,081 Speaker 3: He was well known street cred wise. I don't be 181 00:09:34,121 --> 00:09:36,961 Speaker 3: fooled that the fact that he wasn't lined up to 182 00:09:36,961 --> 00:09:39,361 Speaker 3: do a big whack in jail. Yeah, he was going there, 183 00:09:39,401 --> 00:09:41,801 Speaker 3: one hundred percent. He was going to be another statistic. 184 00:09:42,601 --> 00:09:44,881 Speaker 3: It didn't happen that way. You know, he was blessed 185 00:09:44,921 --> 00:09:47,721 Speaker 3: and God put him on a beautiful path that allowed 186 00:09:47,801 --> 00:09:50,521 Speaker 3: him to use his talents, which were his gifted hands, 187 00:09:51,081 --> 00:09:53,081 Speaker 3: to be able to better his life. And now what 188 00:09:53,121 --> 00:09:55,361 Speaker 3: a beautiful family, what a great father, you know, what 189 00:09:55,441 --> 00:09:59,681 Speaker 3: an inspiration to many. There's so many others out there. 190 00:09:59,721 --> 00:10:03,881 Speaker 1: And all these people like that, people from drug addictions. 191 00:10:03,881 --> 00:10:07,041 Speaker 1: And I know you've had a few on the clinkers, 192 00:10:07,081 --> 00:10:10,481 Speaker 1: I have on eye catch killers. The ones that have 193 00:10:10,561 --> 00:10:13,161 Speaker 1: gone down that path understand what it takes to break 194 00:10:13,441 --> 00:10:16,161 Speaker 1: break the addiction. And they've set up these retreats and 195 00:10:16,521 --> 00:10:19,881 Speaker 1: different things. Yes, why don't we buy into it? I 196 00:10:19,921 --> 00:10:22,481 Speaker 1: don't know if the government support them. I know that 197 00:10:22,641 --> 00:10:25,281 Speaker 1: quite often they struggle for money. I know people like 198 00:10:25,361 --> 00:10:28,481 Speaker 1: Nata are looking for opportunities to make a living. Now 199 00:10:28,521 --> 00:10:33,921 Speaker 1: that making making good passing on these messages. So we 200 00:10:34,681 --> 00:10:36,081 Speaker 1: need to invest in that I think. 201 00:10:36,121 --> 00:10:38,281 Speaker 3: I think so too, and look, to be honest with you, Gary, 202 00:10:38,401 --> 00:10:42,481 Speaker 3: I had the honor of standing up some years ago 203 00:10:42,601 --> 00:10:44,921 Speaker 3: now in front of nearly five hundred. Now you're going 204 00:10:45,001 --> 00:10:46,521 Speaker 3: to hit me out there, I know, because I'm going 205 00:10:46,561 --> 00:10:50,041 Speaker 3: to say it wrong. Clinicians is that how it's pronounced. Clinicians, 206 00:10:50,121 --> 00:10:53,361 Speaker 3: clinicians whatever. A bunch of fucking professional people that went 207 00:10:53,401 --> 00:10:57,481 Speaker 3: to university and to say that they know what life's 208 00:10:57,481 --> 00:10:59,681 Speaker 3: all about. Now, hang on, let me take a backwards 209 00:10:59,681 --> 00:11:01,481 Speaker 3: step there, because I don't want to offend anybody, and I 210 00:11:01,521 --> 00:11:04,241 Speaker 3: mean this sincerely. We are definitely in need of some 211 00:11:04,321 --> 00:11:07,041 Speaker 3: wonderful people out there in that space. But it was 212 00:11:07,081 --> 00:11:09,961 Speaker 3: a national suicide prevention conference that was held here in 213 00:11:10,001 --> 00:11:13,161 Speaker 3: Brisbane and I was invited to stand up and speak 214 00:11:13,201 --> 00:11:18,321 Speaker 3: on behalf of lived experience. Now I was just a 215 00:11:18,441 --> 00:11:20,801 Speaker 3: kid from the streets, you know what I mean, like 216 00:11:20,921 --> 00:11:24,761 Speaker 3: the Western Suburbs Housing Commission of Sydney that had a story. 217 00:11:25,321 --> 00:11:28,601 Speaker 3: But the value of the story becomes so much greater 218 00:11:29,681 --> 00:11:32,401 Speaker 3: in that moment because I was able to impact so 219 00:11:32,481 --> 00:11:36,081 Speaker 3: many people through my words of being present and being 220 00:11:36,121 --> 00:11:40,441 Speaker 3: able to share what it was like today. I love 221 00:11:40,761 --> 00:11:42,921 Speaker 3: being able to help others, and I love being able 222 00:11:42,961 --> 00:11:45,201 Speaker 3: to give back, and I love being able to listen, 223 00:11:45,241 --> 00:11:51,081 Speaker 3: and I guess serve and help the underdog and be 224 00:11:52,441 --> 00:11:54,681 Speaker 3: somebody there who can be a voice. You know, the 225 00:11:54,761 --> 00:11:58,961 Speaker 3: Clink is something that and this season we've switched it up. 226 00:11:59,201 --> 00:12:01,481 Speaker 3: You know, we've done four years of stories of Redemption, 227 00:12:01,601 --> 00:12:04,121 Speaker 3: which has been very, very impacted, and it's been it 228 00:12:04,201 --> 00:12:07,321 Speaker 3: took its toll on me. It did. It really can 229 00:12:07,361 --> 00:12:09,481 Speaker 3: understand me, and it put me in a position where 230 00:12:09,481 --> 00:12:11,081 Speaker 3: I wasn't sure if I was going to continue on 231 00:12:11,161 --> 00:12:14,521 Speaker 3: doing what I did. Having seen the response from the 232 00:12:14,521 --> 00:12:17,121 Speaker 3: public and the amount of people that the Clink has helped, 233 00:12:17,201 --> 00:12:19,201 Speaker 3: I felt that we needed to come back with something 234 00:12:19,241 --> 00:12:23,841 Speaker 3: new and fresh. That being said, we've come in this season, 235 00:12:23,921 --> 00:12:27,601 Speaker 3: season sixteen, with being able to give people tools through 236 00:12:27,641 --> 00:12:31,681 Speaker 3: each episode of our Guests, and I will ask you 237 00:12:31,721 --> 00:12:35,561 Speaker 3: to leave two valuable tools that you feel could help 238 00:12:35,641 --> 00:12:39,241 Speaker 3: somebody to be able to grow themselves in a way 239 00:12:39,281 --> 00:12:41,641 Speaker 3: that enables them to have the confidence to chase their 240 00:12:41,721 --> 00:12:44,801 Speaker 3: dreams or business minds or whatever it might be. Because 241 00:12:44,801 --> 00:12:47,241 Speaker 3: we've all got these wonderful visions and beliefs that we 242 00:12:47,281 --> 00:12:50,201 Speaker 3: can do this, and you can do anything. I tell 243 00:12:50,241 --> 00:12:52,561 Speaker 3: my kids, be the best you can be, dream big, 244 00:12:52,601 --> 00:12:56,401 Speaker 3: because anything is possible. The thing is, we get stuck 245 00:12:56,761 --> 00:13:01,081 Speaker 3: in this position where for me it i'm hopeless, you know, 246 00:13:01,201 --> 00:13:04,441 Speaker 3: Like I have started a business that is starting to 247 00:13:04,481 --> 00:13:08,761 Speaker 3: become really really good. It's not obviously anywhere near where 248 00:13:08,761 --> 00:13:12,881 Speaker 3: it can be, but I'm working hard. Unfortunately, I'm not 249 00:13:13,121 --> 00:13:17,241 Speaker 3: educated in some spaces in the IT era, like a 250 00:13:17,281 --> 00:13:19,961 Speaker 3: space of the business, so I have to constantly learn 251 00:13:20,201 --> 00:13:21,761 Speaker 3: and reach out and it'd be very easy for me 252 00:13:21,761 --> 00:13:23,241 Speaker 3: to get it's all too hard. Fuck it. I'm just 253 00:13:23,321 --> 00:13:26,681 Speaker 3: I'm done with it. Many others out there would be 254 00:13:26,681 --> 00:13:30,441 Speaker 3: feeling the same over maybe they're too scared or too 255 00:13:30,441 --> 00:13:32,681 Speaker 3: shamed to reach out to ask somebody that does know, 256 00:13:32,721 --> 00:13:35,761 Speaker 3: because I want to feel like they don't know that different. 257 00:13:35,841 --> 00:13:39,001 Speaker 1: I think it comes into all aspects of life, and 258 00:13:39,801 --> 00:13:43,321 Speaker 1: that if you surround if you surround yourself with good people, 259 00:13:43,361 --> 00:13:46,641 Speaker 1: people that understand, like it is not my forothe, but 260 00:13:46,681 --> 00:13:49,921 Speaker 1: I've got friends that are good at it, then I'll 261 00:13:50,001 --> 00:13:53,201 Speaker 1: learn stuff from them and I might give them something. 262 00:13:53,961 --> 00:13:58,001 Speaker 1: Surrounding yourself with good people. But yeah, life journey, I'm 263 00:13:58,041 --> 00:14:01,001 Speaker 1: a big one, and I think society and maybe we're 264 00:14:01,121 --> 00:14:03,081 Speaker 1: delving in too deep. And though I'm really cares well, 265 00:14:03,081 --> 00:14:06,281 Speaker 1: I think, but I'll say it anyway, that you've got 266 00:14:06,281 --> 00:14:07,041 Speaker 1: to work at things. 267 00:14:07,521 --> 00:14:07,761 Speaker 3: Life. 268 00:14:07,961 --> 00:14:09,961 Speaker 1: Life is going to give your setbacks. Life is going 269 00:14:10,001 --> 00:14:11,601 Speaker 1: to kick your life is going to do all sorts 270 00:14:11,641 --> 00:14:14,161 Speaker 1: of things. But you've got to pay your dues and 271 00:14:14,201 --> 00:14:16,881 Speaker 1: get in there and work and the reward will come. 272 00:14:16,921 --> 00:14:19,441 Speaker 1: It might be instant, but it will come down down 273 00:14:19,481 --> 00:14:19,841 Speaker 1: the track. 274 00:14:19,961 --> 00:14:22,041 Speaker 3: I think it builds resilience, and I think that word 275 00:14:22,121 --> 00:14:25,561 Speaker 3: is very powerful and each of us have to understand 276 00:14:25,601 --> 00:14:29,401 Speaker 3: what resilience is. Once again, I refer back to my children. 277 00:14:29,441 --> 00:14:31,601 Speaker 3: You know, I've gone through and my family have gone 278 00:14:31,641 --> 00:14:34,121 Speaker 3: through a really tough last four or five years. You know, 279 00:14:34,161 --> 00:14:36,001 Speaker 3: there's been a lot in the background that has gone 280 00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:38,521 Speaker 3: on and it is still going on. That's had a 281 00:14:38,561 --> 00:14:42,521 Speaker 3: massive impact in my life and my children's life. But 282 00:14:42,641 --> 00:14:45,761 Speaker 3: it has also built a lot of strength and a 283 00:14:45,761 --> 00:14:47,681 Speaker 3: lot of resilience. And I see it in the eyes 284 00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:51,401 Speaker 3: of my children each day, you know. And it's a 285 00:14:51,481 --> 00:14:55,401 Speaker 3: tough walk, but in some ways it's a blessing because 286 00:14:55,761 --> 00:14:59,601 Speaker 3: they're setting themselves up to be great young people in 287 00:14:59,681 --> 00:15:00,441 Speaker 3: our society. 288 00:15:00,921 --> 00:15:04,481 Speaker 1: And it's easy as a parent to spoil a child 289 00:15:05,161 --> 00:15:09,481 Speaker 1: and shield them from all the knocks and bruises that 290 00:15:09,521 --> 00:15:11,921 Speaker 1: come with growing up. But you've got to you've got 291 00:15:11,961 --> 00:15:14,481 Speaker 1: to with control, let them out there a little bit, 292 00:15:14,521 --> 00:15:17,281 Speaker 1: get their grazes, come back, heal them up, and that's 293 00:15:17,361 --> 00:15:20,281 Speaker 1: where that that resilience builds up. 294 00:15:20,521 --> 00:15:23,161 Speaker 3: I think so. And I think you know, like obviously 295 00:15:23,281 --> 00:15:26,121 Speaker 3: you know your children seeing what their dad has gone 296 00:15:26,161 --> 00:15:29,561 Speaker 3: through as well. You know, like, man, you've had as 297 00:15:29,601 --> 00:15:33,481 Speaker 3: far along concern, Yeah, okay, you had a great career, 298 00:15:33,761 --> 00:15:36,561 Speaker 3: but you've also had a real shit ending to something 299 00:15:36,601 --> 00:15:39,921 Speaker 3: you gave your heart and soul to and obviously sacrificed 300 00:15:39,961 --> 00:15:43,161 Speaker 3: and lost a lot of your life. Yeah too, to 301 00:15:43,241 --> 00:15:44,961 Speaker 3: be in the best you can be it And and 302 00:15:45,481 --> 00:15:46,361 Speaker 3: part of part. 303 00:15:46,201 --> 00:15:48,641 Speaker 1: Of what hurt me because you want to protect those 304 00:15:48,681 --> 00:15:50,881 Speaker 1: that you love, and I love my kids obviously, and 305 00:15:51,681 --> 00:15:54,761 Speaker 1: they were taking on my pain. I didn't want them 306 00:15:54,761 --> 00:15:56,641 Speaker 1: to take on my pain, but it was such in 307 00:15:56,681 --> 00:16:01,241 Speaker 1: your face, so that yeah that I resented resented people 308 00:16:01,241 --> 00:16:03,841 Speaker 1: that put me through that, not because what I was suffering, 309 00:16:04,041 --> 00:16:07,961 Speaker 1: but how it impact impacted on my kids. But yeah, again, 310 00:16:08,081 --> 00:16:10,761 Speaker 1: you get rewarded what you put into it, and my 311 00:16:11,241 --> 00:16:13,401 Speaker 1: kids didn't have the easiest of life. They went through 312 00:16:13,601 --> 00:16:17,681 Speaker 1: a marriage, breakup with myself and their mother. So yeah, 313 00:16:18,121 --> 00:16:18,441 Speaker 1: but that. 314 00:16:18,481 --> 00:16:20,881 Speaker 3: Too, that come down obviously, and I mean, I'm only 315 00:16:20,961 --> 00:16:24,761 Speaker 3: just I'm guessing, I going to use that word. I'm 316 00:16:24,801 --> 00:16:28,921 Speaker 3: guessing though, that would have come down to your choice 317 00:16:29,801 --> 00:16:32,561 Speaker 3: of employment, which would have then and then created a 318 00:16:32,681 --> 00:16:34,721 Speaker 3: version of you. Sometimes it wouldn't have been the best 319 00:16:34,801 --> 00:16:37,281 Speaker 3: version of you you would have been, So I guess 320 00:16:37,361 --> 00:16:41,001 Speaker 3: involved and just committed to wanting to see an end 321 00:16:41,001 --> 00:16:44,041 Speaker 3: result to certain things. I mean, I can honestly say 322 00:16:44,081 --> 00:16:46,521 Speaker 3: with my oldest son, you know, my choice of life 323 00:16:46,601 --> 00:16:50,201 Speaker 3: living a certain way, not being present, not being there 324 00:16:50,241 --> 00:16:53,041 Speaker 3: when I needed to be, but be thinking that I'm 325 00:16:53,601 --> 00:16:56,881 Speaker 3: being a dad. But I wasn't an active present father. 326 00:16:57,761 --> 00:17:00,201 Speaker 3: And that's the difference. And you know, I think that 327 00:17:00,881 --> 00:17:03,481 Speaker 3: if you're out there listening today and you have children, 328 00:17:03,681 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 3: you question yourself about what you're giving. And none of 329 00:17:06,921 --> 00:17:09,321 Speaker 3: us are perfect. I do it myself, you know. I 330 00:17:09,321 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 3: look at my little fellow, my youngest of four, and 331 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 3: I go I need to I need to look at 332 00:17:13,321 --> 00:17:15,321 Speaker 3: him a little bit different from the other three. I 333 00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:17,401 Speaker 3: need to give him a bit more compassion, a bit 334 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: more time. I need to spend more time kicking the footy, 335 00:17:20,481 --> 00:17:21,681 Speaker 3: you know, having those chats. 336 00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: One thing that a good thing that came from the separation. 337 00:17:26,801 --> 00:17:30,041 Speaker 1: I think that the life that I had when I 338 00:17:30,241 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: was with my wife, the first wife, with mother of 339 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:39,001 Speaker 1: my children, that I had the opportunity I could go away, 340 00:17:39,041 --> 00:17:42,201 Speaker 1: I could throw myself in the work, so i'd come 341 00:17:42,241 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: back and I'd be the weekend dad or whatever. But 342 00:17:44,761 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: I wasn't packing their lunches at school and in their 343 00:17:47,281 --> 00:17:51,321 Speaker 1: school uniforms, planning my daughter's hair when we separated. When 344 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,841 Speaker 1: I'm looking after the children for a week, I had 345 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: to be more invested. I had to sit down and 346 00:17:57,041 --> 00:17:59,321 Speaker 1: do their homework with them. I had to make sure 347 00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,921 Speaker 1: their uniform was on, pack their lunches and all that. 348 00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: And in one way, I'm thankful for that because it 349 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,761 Speaker 1: made me wake up to and appreciate what I was 350 00:18:08,801 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: missing and what my wife was doing for me. At 351 00:18:10,961 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: the time, I didn't really realize all the behind the scenes. 352 00:18:13,921 --> 00:18:16,001 Speaker 1: So I think I became closer to my kids in 353 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,001 Speaker 1: a bizarre sor the way because I had to look 354 00:18:18,041 --> 00:18:20,121 Speaker 1: after them like that. Or if they're sick and they're 355 00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:22,321 Speaker 1: with you, you're the one taking their temperature. Or you're 356 00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:26,641 Speaker 1: the one doing things. So I did learn something from that. 357 00:18:26,721 --> 00:18:29,561 Speaker 3: It's funny that someone sort of said to me just recently, 358 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,041 Speaker 3: you know when you're going to sort of catch up 359 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 3: and come and have a feed in a beer, and 360 00:18:32,721 --> 00:18:35,321 Speaker 3: I said, I'm not. I said wow. I said, well, 361 00:18:35,561 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: at the moment, I'm just man. My sons and I 362 00:18:38,521 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 3: need to be present twenty four to seven. If something 363 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,561 Speaker 3: goes wrong, exactly what you just said. If something there's 364 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,121 Speaker 3: an emergency, or you know, whatever it might be, it's 365 00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,761 Speaker 3: on me. There's no family, there's no turn to anyone else. 366 00:18:48,801 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: It's on you and. 367 00:18:50,321 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: I, like my kids are adults now, and what I 368 00:18:52,961 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: can say is, okay, we've had the separation and the 369 00:18:56,761 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 1: dramas that come with that, but the work that I 370 00:19:00,241 --> 00:19:02,801 Speaker 1: put in to stay connected. And I see this a 371 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: lot in the cops. There's a lot of divorces, all 372 00:19:05,281 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: the divorcess across the range. Now I should yeah, I 373 00:19:10,761 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: can only imagine, but I see guys that there was 374 00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: one I won't say his name, but he was working 375 00:19:17,441 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: in the city. He'd move to the city, but his 376 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,321 Speaker 1: son was living up at Newcastle. So you're looking at 377 00:19:23,441 --> 00:19:26,161 Speaker 1: our and a half two hour two hour drive. Realistically, 378 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: he would coach the football team. He would drive up 379 00:19:29,241 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: there and like four hours behind the wheel, but just 380 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:36,481 Speaker 1: wanted to coach the team. I said to this bloke 381 00:19:36,521 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: and he was a good friend, or he's a good friend, 382 00:19:39,241 --> 00:19:41,761 Speaker 1: And I said, by doing what you're doing, you're going 383 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: to be rewarded in the future. When your your son 384 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,641 Speaker 1: grows up, he's going to know how much you put 385 00:19:45,681 --> 00:19:48,081 Speaker 1: in so little little things like that. So if we're 386 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:51,761 Speaker 1: sitting here now, wise and wise people, I just think 387 00:19:51,801 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: the time you invest in your children comes back in 388 00:19:53,961 --> 00:19:56,241 Speaker 1: bucket loads when they get older. I see the type 389 00:19:56,241 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: of kids or type of adults my children have grown 390 00:19:59,921 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: up to and all the values that was painstakingly tried 391 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,801 Speaker 1: to install them as they were growing up. I actually 392 00:20:05,801 --> 00:20:07,681 Speaker 1: got it. I didn't know at the time, but they 393 00:20:07,681 --> 00:20:09,161 Speaker 1: actually got it. And I'm really proud. 394 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,681 Speaker 3: You know. You know what I've just think I've gotten here, Garrett, 395 00:20:12,041 --> 00:20:14,921 Speaker 3: right now is the value of our conversation in reference 396 00:20:15,001 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 3: to being fathers. Yeah, like here we are really to 397 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 3: talk about. You know, I scares giving people better ways 398 00:20:23,921 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 3: and better choices in life through not choosing you know, 399 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 3: the paths of criminality and all that sort of stuff. 400 00:20:29,761 --> 00:20:31,881 Speaker 3: I think the purpose of us being here has brought 401 00:20:31,961 --> 00:20:36,041 Speaker 3: us to where we are now, about us with our past, yeah, 402 00:20:36,481 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: not being what we thought was the best version of 403 00:20:39,521 --> 00:20:44,241 Speaker 3: ourselves as fathers, to being here right now, and this 404 00:20:44,321 --> 00:20:47,041 Speaker 3: is the conversation we were meant to have, which I 405 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: think brings so much value because I think the tools 406 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 3: that we can give to people, which is a part 407 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,281 Speaker 3: of what we're trying to achieve here with season sixteen 408 00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:59,241 Speaker 3: about bettering ourselves, and it all starts within the home. 409 00:20:59,721 --> 00:21:02,681 Speaker 1: Well, it's funny how we fell there. It fell into 410 00:21:02,721 --> 00:21:04,841 Speaker 1: this spot because it wasn't where we were going. 411 00:21:04,681 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 3: But not at all. 412 00:21:06,201 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: I've had opportunity to reflect on where my life is 413 00:21:09,241 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: now with all the things that have changed, and when 414 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,561 Speaker 1: it comes all said and done, the excitement of what 415 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,801 Speaker 1: I've had in the Cops, the exciting stuff I'm doing 416 00:21:17,041 --> 00:21:19,521 Speaker 1: post the Cops, when it's all said and done, it's 417 00:21:19,561 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 1: a family that't really Yeah, that's the thing that rocks 418 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,801 Speaker 1: my boat. When it's all said and done, I could 419 00:21:24,801 --> 00:21:28,001 Speaker 1: lose all that And if I still had the relationships, 420 00:21:28,241 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: the personal relationships a family, life's good. And so that 421 00:21:31,801 --> 00:21:32,881 Speaker 1: might be a strong message. 422 00:21:32,921 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 3: I think it is, and I also think that it 423 00:21:34,721 --> 00:21:37,481 Speaker 3: needs to be said too that for anybody out there 424 00:21:37,561 --> 00:21:42,001 Speaker 3: that's doubting the love of your child, don't because it's 425 00:21:42,041 --> 00:21:45,041 Speaker 3: the most purest love that you'll ever have. You'll have 426 00:21:45,521 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 3: marriage breakups, you'll have partners maybe come and go. And 427 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,681 Speaker 3: if you're blessed to be of that small percentage that's 428 00:21:50,721 --> 00:21:53,481 Speaker 3: able to be in love and have that one love 429 00:21:53,521 --> 00:21:55,561 Speaker 3: for the rest of your life and raise your family, 430 00:21:55,721 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 3: then that's amazing. And I feel that that is just 431 00:21:58,521 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 3: a really beautiful gift. Embrace that. But for majority, and 432 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:05,721 Speaker 3: I feel that here is a majority to day as 433 00:22:05,761 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 3: we speak, never ever ever feel that your children don't 434 00:22:10,441 --> 00:22:13,641 Speaker 3: love you, and never give up. As somebody who has 435 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 3: a distant relationship with my oldest son because of the 436 00:22:15,921 --> 00:22:19,561 Speaker 3: choices that I did make, I've one hundred percent learned 437 00:22:19,561 --> 00:22:24,681 Speaker 3: to be a better father with my three children after that, 438 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,801 Speaker 3: and I will always keep that door open and the 439 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 3: love is unquestionable. But I also look and I feel, 440 00:22:31,681 --> 00:22:34,001 Speaker 3: you know, when my children look at me and say 441 00:22:34,041 --> 00:22:35,881 Speaker 3: thanks Dad, all I'm proud of you, Dad, or give 442 00:22:35,921 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 3: me that hug and that so can you tuck me in, Dad, 443 00:22:37,921 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 3: still means a lot, you know it means a lot. 444 00:22:40,521 --> 00:22:44,961 Speaker 3: Give me a little bit emotional. There you got the tissues. 445 00:22:45,001 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 3: That was another thing. There was props put there for 446 00:22:47,521 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 3: the reason. So you know what, Gary, I'm just going 447 00:22:51,681 --> 00:22:54,561 Speaker 3: to flip this on its head and say, this was 448 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 3: never the path that we're going to end up at. 449 00:22:57,921 --> 00:23:01,721 Speaker 3: But how's the meaning and the purpose right now? And 450 00:23:01,761 --> 00:23:07,001 Speaker 3: the real like the reality of real two fathers. Forget 451 00:23:07,001 --> 00:23:10,041 Speaker 3: about where we've come from, the paths we've walked, but 452 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,001 Speaker 3: what we've learned and how we've been able to give 453 00:23:13,041 --> 00:23:16,841 Speaker 3: that back to our children and become better men because 454 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,561 Speaker 3: of the love of our children. 455 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,321 Speaker 1: We didn't thought think we'd be talking down this path. 456 00:23:21,441 --> 00:23:23,801 Speaker 3: Well no I didn't. I wasn't going personal with you, 457 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 3: but it's ended. 458 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,721 Speaker 1: Up well I've had no we were going personal. 459 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: Was very personal to start with. Well, yeah, this is 460 00:23:30,761 --> 00:23:31,521 Speaker 3: a different person. 461 00:23:31,921 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: I've had a lot of time to reflect on things 462 00:23:34,921 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: and my life and the chaos that was my life, 463 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: and my chaos would have partly insignificance to what it 464 00:23:40,201 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: would be in the outlaw motorcycle gangs, but the chaos 465 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,241 Speaker 1: of your life and when it's all said and done, 466 00:23:45,281 --> 00:23:50,201 Speaker 1: the highs and lows and very similar, what's what's left. Yeah, 467 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: you got you got your kids and someone that loves 468 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,481 Speaker 1: you or people that love you. They're the important thing 469 00:23:55,561 --> 00:23:58,281 Speaker 1: and it's unconditional. You never need to question it. Like 470 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,161 Speaker 1: you have relationships, and you do. You question at times 471 00:24:02,241 --> 00:24:06,281 Speaker 1: is this really? You know, is it going to last? Well, 472 00:24:06,561 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: that's true, and sadly, I've been through quite a few relationships. 473 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,561 Speaker 1: But there's one consistency is my kids are always there. 474 00:24:13,761 --> 00:24:16,281 Speaker 3: And I think that if our listeners can take something 475 00:24:16,321 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 3: from this podcast of ours, is that just give your 476 00:24:23,281 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 3: children every possible opportunity that you can to your best means, 477 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,241 Speaker 3: and that doesn't mean monetary. Just give them your heart, 478 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,801 Speaker 3: give them your time, give them your patience. And I've 479 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,761 Speaker 3: got to slap myself in the face here and take 480 00:24:35,801 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 3: some of my own advice because I'm at times the 481 00:24:38,521 --> 00:24:40,961 Speaker 3: worst person in the world. I find it very hard 482 00:24:41,001 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: sometimes patient wise. But then I stand there and as 483 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 3: I'm getting older, I do look and I take that 484 00:24:46,961 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 3: breath and I go it's okay, Yeah, they're doing good. 485 00:24:52,801 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 3: I'm doing good, you know, And I think that you're 486 00:24:56,441 --> 00:25:00,001 Speaker 3: doing good. You're doing real good. To all those parents 487 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,881 Speaker 3: out there, just don't give up. 488 00:25:02,281 --> 00:25:05,281 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, yeah, you've got to hang in there, really 489 00:25:05,281 --> 00:25:08,321 Speaker 1: have got to hang in there, and it's worthwhile. The 490 00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: rewards come, the reward for the effort to put in 491 00:25:11,561 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: and sometimes yeah, you don't need it, you don't want it, 492 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: but I know you've got to do it, and it comes. 493 00:25:18,761 --> 00:25:22,281 Speaker 1: The rewards come at the end. Another thing that's happened here, Brent, 494 00:25:22,321 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: and I think this is an important thing, and I've 495 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,321 Speaker 1: seen it on your podcast and I feel it on 496 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,641 Speaker 1: my podcast sitting down speaking to people like there, I've 497 00:25:32,681 --> 00:25:35,241 Speaker 1: met so many people doing the podcast. I never really 498 00:25:35,241 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: thought i'd have something in common with, Like, yeah, you 499 00:25:38,201 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: and I. On paper, it should have been we should 500 00:25:39,921 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: have been punching on. That's the reality of it. But 501 00:25:45,321 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: sitting down, I understand where you're coming from, and I 502 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,001 Speaker 1: think you know but grudgingly you might understand where I'm 503 00:25:51,001 --> 00:25:55,001 Speaker 1: coming from. Yeah, there's some respect there. But the way 504 00:25:55,041 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: you've gone about your life, I know, I've got to 505 00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: say full credit to you. 506 00:26:00,761 --> 00:26:02,441 Speaker 3: I've got a lot of faults, mate, and I try 507 00:26:02,481 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 3: to still work on them every day. You know, like, 508 00:26:04,481 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 3: I'm far from perfect, and if I can better myself 509 00:26:07,321 --> 00:26:10,241 Speaker 3: one percent better every day, then I know I'm doing 510 00:26:10,241 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 3: a good job. And trust me. These days I wake up, 511 00:26:12,521 --> 00:26:15,521 Speaker 3: look in the mirror and go, you're not winning today. 512 00:26:16,041 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 3: Now there's something, there's something here that's not allowing me 513 00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:24,401 Speaker 3: to fill my heart with that joy. But I'm learning, 514 00:26:25,041 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 3: learning to take that breath, learning to look at what 515 00:26:29,041 --> 00:26:33,201 Speaker 3: is good, weigh it up and think, Hey, I've been 516 00:26:33,201 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: in worse positions. Life has been a lot worse than this. 517 00:26:37,001 --> 00:26:40,641 Speaker 3: I've lost a lot, A lot's gone that I can 518 00:26:40,721 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: never ever bring back. Time you'll never get back. So 519 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,761 Speaker 3: be present. I may not fill one hundred percent today, 520 00:26:49,241 --> 00:26:51,801 Speaker 3: I've got to make the best of every opportunity and 521 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,561 Speaker 3: every situation right now. 522 00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: Well, I think you should be proud of yourself where 523 00:26:58,241 --> 00:27:00,481 Speaker 1: how you've turned your life around. Because if I look 524 00:27:00,561 --> 00:27:02,801 Speaker 1: the riding on the wall, it wasn't going to be 525 00:27:03,201 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 1: the end. It wasn't going to be pretty. 526 00:27:05,281 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 3: And to be honest with you, I was prepared to 527 00:27:08,281 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 3: have already been dead ten times over by that was 528 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,561 Speaker 3: where my life was heading. You know, there was nothing, 529 00:27:14,441 --> 00:27:17,481 Speaker 3: nothing good that was coming of my life. You know, 530 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,401 Speaker 3: the hurdles are still there, but I'm going over them, 531 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 3: and I'm going over them in strides that are very strong. 532 00:27:25,521 --> 00:27:27,961 Speaker 3: And I believe that you know I will come out 533 00:27:27,961 --> 00:27:30,921 Speaker 3: the other side and life will be will be good. 534 00:27:30,961 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 3: And if God allows me to continue to live and 535 00:27:34,441 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 3: live in a healthy manner and you know, watch my 536 00:27:37,041 --> 00:27:40,201 Speaker 3: children grow, then so be it. He's got other decisions, 537 00:27:40,201 --> 00:27:42,121 Speaker 3: then that's just the way I can. 538 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: I say another thing too, And I'm seeing the battles 539 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: you're going through physically with injuries and the way you 540 00:27:48,281 --> 00:27:51,281 Speaker 1: keep yourself fit. And we have talked about this, that 541 00:27:51,721 --> 00:27:55,281 Speaker 1: it keeps us sane. The mental training, you know, if 542 00:27:55,321 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: you're looking if yeah, we've got great wisdom, look at 543 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,001 Speaker 1: this to burn out xpikey x cop. But the importance 544 00:28:03,041 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: of physical training that keeps me sane. That honestly, no 545 00:28:06,201 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: matter what I'm going through, if I can get out 546 00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:11,001 Speaker 1: and work up a sweat, do something that keeps me saying, 547 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:11,521 Speaker 1: I think. 548 00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 3: It's a very important tool for the toolbox. Yeah, and 549 00:28:14,201 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 3: I feel that, you know, if you actually take that step, 550 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,601 Speaker 3: just create that hour.
