WEBVTT - #2066 A TYP Wedding? - Scott Douglas

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>I get a team, welcome another installment of the Youth Project.

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>It's exactly what it's called. I was thinking it was

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>something else for a moment, but fuck it. I just

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.560
<v Speaker 1>looked over my right shoulder and no, it is the

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Youth Project. Scott Douglas is looking for reasons that might

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.239
<v Speaker 1>reveal themselves in the next five to ten minutes. He's

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>looking somewhat awkward and clunky. Over there, he's normally looking.

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>He's normally looking relaxed. Scott, are you okay?

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm very good, Thank you, mister Harper. How are you today?

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so great to have you back. Scott Douglas, what's

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.160
<v Speaker 3>going on? All right?

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm very good, thank you.

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 4>I had a fat, fantastic weekend and I went for

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 4>swin today, so I'm actually quite relaxed.

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>And tell tell the good listeners. We're recording this Tuesday,

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>two thirty seven in the PM, which is good because

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 1>it would be stupid otherwise it'd be the middle of

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the night.

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 3>What you did on the weekend?

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 4>I went up to bright and I was an assistant

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 4>to the race director, so I drove one of the

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.640
<v Speaker 4>cars literally behind groups large groups of cyclists for the

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.240
<v Speaker 4>whole of the race, and it was without far one

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 4>of the most amazing.

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Things I've had the privilege I've been involved in.

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, what was your specific role other than hanging off

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the big dog and going a look at me?

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 4>So I had a god named Greg in the front seat,

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 4>and he has like he's been in charge of Tour

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 4>de France, of Olympic rides, like he's quite well known

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 4>and a semi famous boss of that level of cycling.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>And he literally would tell me exactly what to do

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 2>in a very stern voice, exactly.

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Like he would say, please get closer, Please get close.

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 4>I need that guy's number. And we would literally do

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 4>in eighty kilometers an hour. So the bikes are doing

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 4>eighty kilometers an hour down a hill and I'd be

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 4>on the wrong side of the road because the road's closed,

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 4>and I would pull up beside a cyclist and he

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 4>would take the guy's number or speak to the guy,

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 4>and then we'd back off.

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 2>And he's like the judge. He's at the head judge

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>of the race.

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Now, hang on, I should clarify because you're a motorcyclist

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the driver.

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Were you on a bike or in a car?

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>In a car?

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 1>And and so you were were You were not there in

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>as a paramedic.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 4>No, but I was constantly asked about when there was crashes,

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 4>so I sort of was there on a consulting basis,

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 4>like do you think we need an ambulance?

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we do.

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 4>My actual role was to drive the two head judges

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 4>around the races, which is now.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.080
<v Speaker 1>What I You know what I find interesting about you.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>You're a man of many talents and a doer of

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>many things. But I find it funny because you're kind

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.679
<v Speaker 1>of would you call yourself an introvert, an extrovert or

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>an ambivert, which is kind of you can switch?

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Or do you think it's a bit context dependent? Yeah?

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it's.

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 4>I trust you, so I happily will discuss subjects that

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't trust with I wouldn't trust with other people.

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 4>I know you're never going to make me look silly,

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 4>So I happily have a conversation with you, which is

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 4>the rons and it goes to air. But I don't

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 4>have to be room on those people are listening. But

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 4>there's aspects of my life that are no one's business

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 4>but mine, and I don't want.

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 2>To share them.

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 2>It's everyone really, So.

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think so, I think so. I mean what

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 3>I love about you is you are you are? You

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 3>are a.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>You're an atypical excellent communicator because you have a kind

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>of a weird, clunky, but beautifully creative and interesting way

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>of telling stories and sharing insights and building engagement and

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>building connection in a way that nobody could ever fucking teach.

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>If I tried to teach someone to be you, to

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>communicate like you, I would not know where to start.

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, sometimes I don't know where to start either.

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 4>But sometimes someone asks me what I think is a

0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 4>really genuinely nice question, and I want to think about

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 4>the answer before I provide it, so I try very

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 4>hard to understand the question itself and maybe their motive

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 4>for asking that particular question.

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>You've been really open in the last oh I don't

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>know how many episodes we've done together talking about the

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>trials and tribulations and traumas of being a first responder,

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>specifically with you a paramedic, and the fact that you

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>have or do use a psych I think a psychologist

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and a psychiatrist. Is that still true?

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 4>And I have an ironically die listens to your podcast

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 4>Oll I die, she will be so stoked that you

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 4>said that.

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 2>And then I'm seeing her this Saturday.

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 3>So which ones die?

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 4>She's the psych she's the psych, so yes, and she's

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 4>loving her. I honestly believe I wouldn't have the capacity

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 4>to even have this conversation with you, mate, so absolutely, adore.

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I dedicated my first book to her.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 1>So, I mean, apart from my understanding of course of

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.919
<v Speaker 1>a psychologist and a psychiatrist, but what's the distinction between

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>them for you in that the role they play in

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>helping you be the best you?

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 4>One can prescribe medication. Yeah, so that would literally is

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 4>a difference. And I'm literally, you know, in the in

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.280
<v Speaker 4>the like the open.

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>We are now talking honestly about what's going on with me.

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 4>So I have started a new medication which is a

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 4>trial medication, but for me, it's actually worked incredibly well.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 4>And I literally had to have a conversation with my

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 4>doctor on Monday about that and it was very interesting.

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 4>So I was very quite hesitant to try medication. I

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 4>didn't want it to mess with my brain. I didn't

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 4>want to write the way I.

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Think, or I communicate or I operate.

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 4>But this particular medication for me personally and adotally has

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 4>been amazing, and it's just allowed me to sleep.

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>That's actually why I it stops nightmares.

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.559
<v Speaker 1>And so would it be fair to say that one

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>one of them is more about your psychology and one

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>is more about your physiology, although they're both kind of overlapped,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>but one's really about looking after your brain and one's

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 1>really about helping your mind.

0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, I think that's a really good analogy, mate.

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 4>And some of the conversations I've had with Die about

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 4>my childhood.

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 2>And I don't even remember that thing that.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 4>She asks me about until she asks me, and you

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.919
<v Speaker 4>think why, I wonder why I don't remember that, and

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 4>then you start talking not too similar to when me

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 4>and you talked about, like me sleeping at the train station.

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.679
<v Speaker 4>I had not remembered that until you sort of pulled

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 4>down and then I started remembering the fact that I

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 4>did run away on a regular basis and sleeping parks

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.679
<v Speaker 4>and sleep on roofs and sleep at a train station.

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 3>We know trauma is shit, of course, and we know

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 3>PTSD as shit.

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything that comes out of trauma that's a positive?

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I know Paul Taylor talks about post traumatic growth and

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a few other people talk about that. But for you,

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.040
<v Speaker 1>forget the science or the academic literature, but for you,

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>as somebody who's like being through it and still going

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 1>through it, is there any upside to trauma or going

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>through that shit?

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, your capacity to like everyone's worst day is their

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 4>worst day, and for some people their worst day is

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 4>literally smashing their shin on their toeba, which, think about it,

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 4>that's fucking traumatic. Yeah, that's obviously not my worst day,

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 4>and you never want it to be a pissing contest.

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 4>But I've certainly had days then they stack and you go, well,

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 4>this isn't as bad as that. So you do this

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 4>comparison thing where you go that job, well, this job

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 4>is not as bad as that. So I think you

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 4>build up a very thick skin and you have the

0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 4>capacity to then enter a house. And that's something that

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 4>we talk about with our students, like students are on

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 4>how do you walk into that situation where you've done it,

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 4>unfortunately unfortunately a dozen times before, So you do build

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 4>up a resilience and I think that does help you

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 4>then with other things.

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting how like and I don't think my days

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and as you said, it's not a pissing contest, and

0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not comparison. But I think I've had pretty much

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>zero trauma compared to what you've had. But my potential

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>worst day where the crab died in front of me,

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>turned out to be one of my best days. You know,

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>clearly I don't want that to happen again. But where

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>your friend literally dies for seventeen minutes and they're dead

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>in front of you and all that, you know what

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that looks like. You know what someone who's been dead

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>for quarter of an hour looks like. It's not a

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>great sight. And then when they're not, you're like, oh, like,

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about a fucking roller coaster of chemicals and emotions

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>and experiences. And I don't know how many thoughts go

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>through my mind in a typical minute, but fuck me drunk,

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>there was about one million going through my mind at

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>that time.

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 2>May I say something about that, Craig?

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 4>Do you And this would be a question to you,

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 4>do you believe it has made that experience for you,

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 4>has made you a better person? And my second question

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 4>would be do you believe your love for that man

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 4>now is greater?

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes? And yes?

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I don't know if I'm a good person

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>or not. And I'm not fishing when I say that.

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I hope I am. But I don't think that's for

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>me to judge, but it certainly certain it's certainly given

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 1>me a level of insight and understanding and awareness and

0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>compassion and perspective about what fucking matters. I think I

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 1>always had a reasonable perspective. That's not true. When I

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>was younger, I didn't. But in the last twenty years

0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I think of it. But that really just brought everything

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>screamingly into perspective. And yeah, yeah, of course I love him.

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I care about him. It's one of my best friends

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>in the world. But I would do that for literally

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>anyone in the world.

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I agree.

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 4>I guess the point I'm making is I had the

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 4>privilege of experience in that sometimes every other day.

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 3>So for me, it's amazing.

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, thought to myself, if I stop now, it's okay, Yeah,

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 4>you don't do this anymore.

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>I think I did a good job.

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>So we're going to open a slightly uncomfortable door, but

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>fuck it, it's my show. So when you're navigating mental

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 1>health stuff, right, and you're trying to manage you, yes, right,

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and you are you are, like you're trying to keep

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 1>yourself together and be a good in your case, good dad,

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>good friend, good paramedic, good medical professional, good writer, good

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>podcast co host.

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 3>You're almost a co host now all of the things.

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you worry about getting in a relationship? Yes, do

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 3>you think? Do you think? I don't know if that's

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 3>a good idea?

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 3>All the time? Yeah, right, and so when you kind

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 3>of obviously.

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>It depends pretty much on the person, right, Yes, I

0:10:58.320 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 1>mean there are a.

0:10:58.720 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Lot of variables.

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 1>But even if if you've even if you've got all

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>your shit sorted, but you connect with the wrong person,

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be problematic.

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Right, So what what do you like?

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>What goes through your mind when you think about moving

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 1>into a different stage of your life or to potentially

0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 1>find a partner or spend time with someone and see

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>if something evolves.

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 4>Well that so you might start spending time with someone

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 4>and then you constantly have to check in on them

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that you're not burdening them with what

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 4>you're carrying, Like you there might be subjectly flat stick

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 4>don't talk about Yeah, and so sometimes some people, and

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 4>I've had this conversation with some of my colleagues. But

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 4>some people are attracted to what we do, and I

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 4>say we myself and maybe firemen and police officers. So

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 4>so I you know, I date females. So some females

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 4>are attracted to that, and they like they light up

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 4>when you say, oh, this is what I do for

0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.520
<v Speaker 4>a living. But that's because, in my opinion, they have

0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 4>an unrealistic expectation of what we do. So those kind

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 4>of people probably would be quite problematic to date.

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>How long since you've had a partner, girlfriend, life?

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Anything?

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Quite some time? Actually?

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Well what a year? Five years? It's a year a year,

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>so you've just been dagging around for a year or so? Possibly, yes,

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>anything on the horizon that I mean, I don't know, like,

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>is there is there anyone?

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 3>Is Is there anyone?

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we don't me in the list what, yes, there.

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 3>Is me and the listeners do not want to pry. Yeah.

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Now it's been very very interesting for me. Right. So

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 2>obviously I retired and I did a whole bunch.

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 4>I went to grief school, which is really cool, and

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 4>I went away and I traveled, and I spent a

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 4>whole bunch of time by myself, making sure that I

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 4>was well and I wanted to get myself well and

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 4>be a better dad, and be a bit all the

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 4>things that you suggested. Right, Obviously, I'll come back to

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.439
<v Speaker 4>Australia and I think about what I'm going to do next.

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.839
<v Speaker 4>And obviously I was spending a lot more time with you,

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.240
<v Speaker 4>and then I started spending a bit of time with

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 4>a person who I realized was very special. And then

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 4>I was like, okay, well this person is incredibly special,

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 4>then you need to go very slow and make sure

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 4>you speak to them about who you are and on

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.240
<v Speaker 4>the journey that you've been on, because there's a high

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 4>probability you're still traveling on that path.

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 2>And so look, my biggest fear is always harming someone,

0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.719
<v Speaker 1>So that for me feel like I feel like if

0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 1>someone's listening, they're thinking that you're about to tell the

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>world that you and I are in a relationship.

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 3>So we're talking about a woman, not me, right, it's a.

0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful and incredibly intelligent young lady.

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, wow, wow, who might who might that be?

0:13:59.160 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 5>Well?

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 2>That's can we mystery woman?

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Mystery woman?

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 5>My harps?

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 6>Oh no, fuck, she's come out from behind the curtain,

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.199
<v Speaker 6>the typ curtain.

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, you two that's a fucking train wreck.

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Stop now, No, don't do it. What are you thinking?

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's so good? No, I'm just kidding off. Known

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.360
<v Speaker 1>for a while everyone, TIF, Tip's got a boyfriend. TIF,

0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you've got a boyfriend. Tip's got a boyfriend. How how

0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable were you sitting there for those fucking fifteen minutes?

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 5>Relatively? Probably it was more uncomfortable.

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Now, what about clunky Mt Clunkster in the top left

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.400
<v Speaker 1>hand corner stumbling over his words?

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 3>All the charismas seeped.

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Out of his bottom and he was just trying to

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>fucking I've never seen him such a straighty one eighty

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 1>all building.

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 3>To this moment?

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, tell us what's going on. When did you

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 1>first hang out? What did you like? Everyone wants to know.

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Did you go for a motorbike ride? Did you eat food?

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you talk about the meaning of what happened?

0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 2>We had coffee.

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 4>We had coffee quite some time ago, and it was lovely,

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:19.960
<v Speaker 4>and then we started doing other stuff, like we went

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 4>from motor socle ride and that.

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Was I thought.

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Tiff made an amazing effort because she had to obviously

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 4>come to my place, which is an hour from where

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 4>we live.

0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Where she lived sorry, And then we went.

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Down the coast, which was a very long ride, and

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 4>I thought, man, this chick's fucking cool, Like it's going

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 4>to make this such a massive effort to do this

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.320
<v Speaker 4>thing that I like and she likes.

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, but it was very for me, like it

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>was very stressful.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, in what way have you not seen her, Deltoyd's Craig, Like,

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 4>imagine making a false move, Imagine inadvertently accidentally touching her

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 4>on the ass while you're walking down the street and

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:57.720
<v Speaker 4>your categoric is not mean to yeah, making a mouth.

0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Were you thinking she just nice and she's nice like

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>this to everybody?

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.280
<v Speaker 3>Or because there are kinds of nice.

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 1>There's the nice where I'm into you nice like put

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 1>your arm around me, or let's go on a date,

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>or let's all kiss me on the fucking face or

0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>something right and what the fuck's wrong with you? And

0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:19.680
<v Speaker 1>then there's the other nice where she's just a good

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>person who's really polite to everyone.

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 4>I thought, so when we first started like spending time together,

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 4>I didn't think we would go on a date. I

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 4>was very very happy just to go from a motorbike

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 4>ride or get some food or talk. We would just

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 4>talk for ages and it was lovely. And it wasn't

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.920
<v Speaker 4>until much later that I actually had to ask her

0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:39.880
<v Speaker 4>out on an actual date.

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 3>How did you go with that tip?

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 5>Good?

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Look at you. I've never seen you.

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Talk less on this show, and I've never seen you embarrassed.

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 3>This is the best time of my life.

0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 4>I think what was harder, Craig was coffee with you.

0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Once you found out.

0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 2>That was fucking scary.

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 1>That's all right, as long as we just got to

0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 1>look after each other and you're very happy. I'm happy

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 1>as a pig. And shit, you know why because she

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 1>thinks you're great. You think she's great. You know, who

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>knows what's going to happen, But you know, I think

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you too are a good fit. And I don't know

0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 1>who I would have said that about, for Tiff, like

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 1>or you for that matter. But it's like.

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.480
<v Speaker 3>Tiff said to me a few weeks ago.

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Something like I'm seeing someone or something like that, because

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 1>she rang me at a weird time. I think it

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.439
<v Speaker 1>was like eight thirty on a Tuesday night. And she

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:52.720
<v Speaker 1>never rings unless it's for a reason like training or

0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:56.200
<v Speaker 1>podcasting or to ask me a question. And she got

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 1>on the phone and she was just talking about nothing

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>in particular. I could take thirty at night. Well, it's fuck.

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.760
<v Speaker 1>My brain like is in the desk? What are you doing?

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Like this is not my peak performance time. I don't

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.680
<v Speaker 1>know if I can help you, and kind of what.

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:11.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you want? She has?

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Ah ah, So I've.

0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Been seeing someone.

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I go, and my first question was a boy or

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a girl, because I thought, who knows? And she goes

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:25.239
<v Speaker 1>to boy and I go, I know who it is,

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.720
<v Speaker 1>and I knew it was you straight up.

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:29.360
<v Speaker 2>She's like, how did you know that?

0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I go, because I kind of you're probably both weird

0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 1>enough to be awesome together.

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.239
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that's right.

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:39.240
<v Speaker 1>What does it feel like for you tif to be

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.880
<v Speaker 1>in a relationship, because I feel like for a while

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 1>you were well, I don't feel like you were quite

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:46.400
<v Speaker 1>anti relationship.

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 5>I literally just had a conversation with the wonderful doctor

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 5>Bruce Perry on my show, saying that I've never been

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 5>less interested in blokes or relationships in my life, and

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 5>it really it feels really nice, very good.

0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:07.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and so obviously I heard that podcast and then when, oh,

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.879
<v Speaker 4>that's cool that that young lady's not interested in a relationship.

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.080
<v Speaker 2>That's cool. We'll just keep having coffee.

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that's what about the dance? What about the

0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:20.600
<v Speaker 3>dance with no pants? What's happening there?

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 5>What?

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 3>Hello? Come in? Hello? Anyone? Anyone? All right?

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, hey, listeners, just let me tell you they're both

0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 1>falling off their chairs. Will schedule that for another podcast.

<v Speaker 1>But I'll circle back everyone, I'll circle back and I'll

0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:43.200
<v Speaker 1>see where we stand. But from the faces, I'm guessing, yes,

0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>here's the answer.

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to. I mean, I'm not a detective.

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not officially a detective, but you know that I'm

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>good at figuring it out. So I'm just going to

<v Speaker 2>I don't think.

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.480

<v Speaker 4>I've got a dog now, so and that sounds crazy,

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.480
<v Speaker 4>but if people are, you're listening to your own dogs.

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So this dog's taken over my life.

0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 4>And that was interesting because I actually got the dog

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:18.560
<v Speaker 4>before I started dating Tiff. So I have a dog,

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.919
<v Speaker 4>and I don't know if it's the right thing to say,

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 4>but I also have a girlfriend now so so I'm

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 4>very My life is very, very different than it was

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.159
<v Speaker 4>six weeks ago, which is such a massive shift, and

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 4>and it's lovely, Like, you know, the dog's amazing.

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:35.639
<v Speaker 2>The dog has really been very very good for me.

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.680
<v Speaker 4>And it's a rescue dog and you know, like yeah,

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 4>so and then I you know, I have.

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what you just said, you just said six

0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago, I didn't have a dog or a girlfriend

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and I got and the dog's amazing.

0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:50.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeh, I fucking know this is this is actually harder

0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 2>than I thought it would be.

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:56.520
<v Speaker 4>I'll I don't want to say the wrong thing, but no,

0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 4>aspects of my life have changed in such an amazing

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 4>and one direction.

0:22:01.160 --> 0:22:02.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's really that good.

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:11.400
<v Speaker 1>And also, Tiff, I'm just fucking with you. I'll stop. Oh,

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 1>this is the best time I've ever had on a podcast.

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.120
<v Speaker 1>And what about you, Tip, do you just like, has

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it changed the way that you think about stuff or

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 1>in terms of or it's just business as usual, but

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Scott is in your life now.

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:30.719
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't know, it's it's very distracting, Harps, I'm

0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 5>not getting much work done.

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:35.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 5>I just I just never saw it coming, Like I

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 5>just had resolved to probably maybe not having the capacity

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 5>to let someone in like this.

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I think it's great. Yeah, I never thought.

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:53.399
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think you would have a boyfriend or a

0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 1>bloke for I didn't think ever, but I thought for

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:59.800
<v Speaker 1>quite a while because you were pretty like, you know,

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 1>fuck men, you're a little bit fuck men. Yeah, yeah, Scott,

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you need to get back on microphone. Son, I sorry, Yeah,

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 1>we heard that, Scotty. You said that you listened to

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.920
<v Speaker 1>episode twenty sixty four and I don't even know that

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>was Tiff, and I was it.

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 2>It was amazing.

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, was that very recent? I don't know

0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:31.360
<v Speaker 1>what Monday I remember? Yeah, is that the one where

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:33.639
<v Speaker 1>we're at the end? TIF we went that was maybe

0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the best you and me chat we've ever done.

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:37.200
<v Speaker 3>What did you like about it?

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 4>I love the way you talked about the whole friendship

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:41.600
<v Speaker 4>thing and people lifting you up.

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 2>And stuff like I really didn't like.

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.640
<v Speaker 4>As a listener, I love it, not say And obviously

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.399
<v Speaker 4>I have the privilege of knowing you both, and I

0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 4>was trying to be very quite subjective about it. I

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:54.440
<v Speaker 4>thought I could be, and I actually messaged Tiff and said,

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 4>this isn't that podcast, mate, or bullshit aside.

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 2>That's a beautiful podcast. It really was. But I just

0:23:59.800 --> 0:24:00.679
<v Speaker 2>the way you put it together.

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, thank you.

0:24:02.880 --> 0:24:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously I'm a bit of a contradiction because

0:24:09.520 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>on the one hand, like I deal with really like

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 1>both you, like I deal with really hard things. Really,

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 1>I deal with people who are suicidal and ideal with

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:22.320
<v Speaker 1>people who have got massive issues and but like I

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:24.480
<v Speaker 1>need to have light and shade, you know, and I'm

0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:26.200
<v Speaker 1>dealing with stuff with my dad at the moment.

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:27.719
<v Speaker 3>There's a few hard things going on.

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:32.680
<v Speaker 1>But I think doing all of that, and even having

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:36.080
<v Speaker 1>these conversations, it makes you think deeply about what actually

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 1>like really matters, like what you know. And it's all

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.360
<v Speaker 1>and tif and I've said this before, it's all well

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and good to talk about values and living.

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:49.840
<v Speaker 3>In alignment and you know, but like when you.

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.959
<v Speaker 1>Get away from the fluff and the hyperbole of a podcast,

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:55.359
<v Speaker 1>where you can, you know, if you're like me, you

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.439
<v Speaker 1>can make it sound good because I've got skills, you know,

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 1>and you can get on here and you can bang

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 1>on and you can sound noble and nice and a

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:05.840
<v Speaker 1>bit clever. But it kind of really matters what you're

0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>doing when you're off the podcast. And I think that

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the more that we can, you know, even

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>when I say to you two, like I ask you

0:25:13.800 --> 0:25:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that question, which obviously I'm fucking around and I'm being silly,

0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>but I kind of think I wonder if any of

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the listeners are wondering if that's happened yet, right, So.

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:24.600
<v Speaker 3>So I go, I'm just fuck it. I'm just going

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 3>to throw it out there.

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I know they're not going to answer, but you know,

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:29.959
<v Speaker 1>it's trying to have an awareness of other people, like

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>what am I like for them?

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.159
<v Speaker 3>Really? And what is this show like? And what is

0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:35.399
<v Speaker 3>this interaction like?

0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:40.120
<v Speaker 1>And I think you know, being the kind of person

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that people want to be around. If that's you, I

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 1>think you're doing something well, you know.

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, absolutely, And like that's the whole thing of you

0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 4>spend the most the most time you spend with someone

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 4>as you how about making that person interesting that's interesting

0:25:55.640 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 4>for you, then it's a high probability you're going to

0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:01.119
<v Speaker 4>be interesting for the person that you interact with. Yes,

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 4>And that can be as simple as reading books or

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:07.160
<v Speaker 4>just learning music or listening to a podcast where you

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 4>develop an opinion about something.

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 2>You look into that.

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 4>Opinion and next thing you know, you're having quite a

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 4>robust conversation with someone in regards to a subject that

0:26:15.320 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 4>maybe you weren't going to discuss.

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Before, which is a lot a lot. You know, this

0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:20.479
<v Speaker 2>is the beauty of what you guys do.

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 1>And also genuinely being in like really being interested in someone,

0:26:25.720 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>not just trying to keep the conversation going. But actually

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 1>being interested in or curious about what they do. You know,

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that that when when people feel like they

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>are the center of your attention and they are actually

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the center of your attention, there's something powerful in that,

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.199
<v Speaker 1>And I think, and I don't always do that. I

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 1>try to do that, but you know, I actually had

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>a meeting yesterday with doctor Denise Vaness and Melissa.

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:55.360
<v Speaker 3>We're doing a little project.

0:26:55.440 --> 0:26:59.919
<v Speaker 1>And I got off and I was in fucking obrah

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Iron's windscreens in Clayton, right. I'd sit there for three

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:06.320
<v Speaker 1>hours while I've got a new wind screen put in

0:27:06.359 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 1>my carts. That's a terrific way to pass the time,

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 1>boys and girls. But anyway, so I had a one

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:13.359
<v Speaker 1>hour meeting and I got off that meeting.

0:27:13.359 --> 0:27:14.879
<v Speaker 3>In fact, it was an hour and twenty minutes.

0:27:14.920 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I got off that and I'm sitting in this waiting

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:20.240
<v Speaker 1>room with headphones on, doing a meeting on my phone,

0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and I was a bit grumpy. I was a bit

0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 1>worried about my dad. I was a bit grumpy because

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:27.399
<v Speaker 1>it was hot in this room, and I was a

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:33.160
<v Speaker 1>bit feeling sorry for myself. And I came away from

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:36.240
<v Speaker 1>that with an awareness that I don't think that would

0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:39.600
<v Speaker 1>have been an awesome experience for her, and I rang

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>her this I rang her this morning and said, I

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 1>want to apologize for not being the best me that

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I could be yesterday when we had our meeting. And

0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do anything wrong and we did what we

0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>needed to do, but I was just aware that I

0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't bring great energy into that experience with her, and

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I felt bad and she was. She didn't she didn't say, yeah,

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>thank god you rang me, because she's like, well, it

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:09.760
<v Speaker 1>was fine to me, but thank you. But yeah, I

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:14.120
<v Speaker 1>just I care, not from an insecurity point of view,

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 1>but I care that being around me is, for the

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.159
<v Speaker 1>most part, a good experience for people.

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:22.440
<v Speaker 4>I think that's all you could want for yourself. Craig,

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:25.199
<v Speaker 4>Like you know if you enter a room and you

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:29.199
<v Speaker 4>engage with people like you because I've listened to your

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:31.639
<v Speaker 4>podcast and I often say to myself, what is the

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:33.919
<v Speaker 4>Scott Douglas experience like for this person?

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:35.119
<v Speaker 2>A couple of years ago?

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:37.359
<v Speaker 4>I never would have done that. But literally standing in

0:28:37.400 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 4>a room sometimes and go for some people I'm a level.

0:28:40.520 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Out of and it's too much, And I literally have

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 2>a dial where in my brain I dial it down

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:46.160
<v Speaker 2>a little.

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 4>Bit, because I can be like, I'm nathetic and I've

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:50.040
<v Speaker 4>got a lot of stuff going on.

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 2>But then if you can.

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 4>Read the room, if you had the capacity to read

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 4>the room, and you just lighten it a little bit,

0:28:56.880 --> 0:28:59.800
<v Speaker 4>and for those people, it's enough, and that's lovely. If

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:01.200
<v Speaker 4>you're able to do that.

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 3>How do you know which version of you you need

0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 3>to be?

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>And when I say which version, I'm not talking about

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:14.640
<v Speaker 1>any manufactured, disingenuous persona, but how you need to show up,

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Like if you're at a university talking a bunch of

0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 1>second year paramedic students, or you're talking to your kid,

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>or you're hanging out with Tip, or you're on the podcast,

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Like is that just a natural switch or are you

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 1>conscious about how you are being perceived and experienced by

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>others in real time?

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:36.120
<v Speaker 4>I reckon it's a combination of both, because obviously when

0:29:36.160 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 4>you wear a uniform, So for me, I'd put my

0:29:37.760 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 4>uniform and my tone of voice changes, you know, when

0:29:41.320 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm teaching the same deal, Like I'd walk into the

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:47.200
<v Speaker 4>auditorium and I'd start, and my tone of voice changes,

0:29:47.400 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 4>and I have a very different voice that I wouldn't

0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 4>use necessarily when I'm for example, talking to my daughter.

0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Because that would fight.

0:29:56.240 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 4>And you sometimes have to turn it on, like you

0:29:58.560 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 4>have to maybe enter a sig suation and go, I'm

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:02.920
<v Speaker 4>going to have to use my big voice here because

0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 4>it's a lot. And then you become a persona that

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 4>people will look to, you know, and then they go, oh,

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, and you might even later on apologies, Hey

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 4>guys back there, I'll probably said a few things. I

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 4>use a tone of voice. You needed that done, we

0:30:17.200 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 4>needed that done, and we needed someone to take over.

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:22.760
<v Speaker 4>That's what you did. Thank you. So yeah, I think

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:25.960
<v Speaker 4>if you're consciously aware of it, you can change it.

0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>When you turn up to an accident and you're the guy,

0:30:30.280 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>you're the senior guy or the senior person, do you

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 1>is that a very would I because I've never met

0:30:39.400 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>that guy? Would I have a very different experience if

0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting on the fence five meters away just

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>watching you do your thing, saying all the time.

0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who the fuck you are when you

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>do that, and sometimes then sadly you bring that home, right.

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 3>So what would I see? What would I see?

0:30:56.280 --> 0:31:00.480
<v Speaker 4>My tone changes, my voice literally changes, and by the

0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:03.600
<v Speaker 4>way I stand and I want things done and I

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 4>will say it in a manner that for that for

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 4>the outside viewer, for one of a better word, it

0:31:09.120 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 4>might have been able experience. But I always say please,

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:15.120
<v Speaker 4>and I always try in my students, I would say

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:19.560
<v Speaker 4>whatever you say at a thing, because you say an

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 4>un nice thing, at least you're trying to be plot

0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:25.680
<v Speaker 4>about it. So, and when we teach that kind of

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 4>stuff to our students, we say to them, if you

0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:29.560
<v Speaker 4>can't hear a voice, be the voice. If you can't

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 4>hear thee in charge unfortunately, make to step in and

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 4>be in charge. So, yeah, I know who that person is.

0:31:36.880 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm very happy that they're retired.

0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:42.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, yes, yeah.

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:46.080
<v Speaker 1>And so when when you're teaching students, even now you

0:31:46.120 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 1>work with students, do you do you go, do you

0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:54.560
<v Speaker 1>just know instinctively who's probably going to be a great

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 1>paramedic or potentially a great paramedic, But also then as well,

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe somebody else who is going to be a great leader,

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>were a great decision maker under pressure, or a great

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:05.040
<v Speaker 1>problem solver.

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 4>Fantasy question because you know, they get to second or

0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 4>third y and we start talking about those students, we

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 4>say that person is going to be amazing, And then

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:15.360
<v Speaker 4>you track them and they end up maybe on the helicopter,

0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:16.440
<v Speaker 4>or they end up doing.

0:32:16.240 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Something and you see them again and you say to them, well,

0:32:20.240 --> 0:32:20.680
<v Speaker 2>we knew you.

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 4>Would end up on the helicopter, or we knew you

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:24.520
<v Speaker 4>would end up in that situation simply because of the

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:26.960
<v Speaker 4>way you carried yourself at school.

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And do you see some people who are academically

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 1>average but all the other stuff is exceptional and you

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 1>might choose that person first.

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Yeah, because I can teach you about, for example,

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 4>asthma and the country indicators for drugs. I can't teach

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 4>you scene control, and I can't teach you empathy or

0:32:47.240 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 4>bedside manner and bedside manner. As far as I'm concerned,

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 4>is that that's the absolute crux of the issue. Like

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:57.240
<v Speaker 4>you walk into someone's private house in their most private

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 4>moment and sometimes their most devastating moment, and you have

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:02.920
<v Speaker 4>to instill a sense of confidence in them from the

0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:03.680
<v Speaker 4>very word go.

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know, yeah, you're showing up in maybe the

0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 1>worst moment of their entire life. And then what the

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 1>next five or ten or twenty minutes is going to

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:19.160
<v Speaker 1>look like will be really largely determined by you.

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:22.360
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And they will remember what you said. And once again,

0:33:22.400 --> 0:33:24.320
<v Speaker 4>that's what I always try to instill in more students.

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 4>I always say, think about what you're going to say,

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:29.479
<v Speaker 4>because it is that they will remember it forever.

0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 1>The thing that you kind of it's kind of a

0:33:32.400 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 1>social intelligence and social and situational awareness.

0:33:36.760 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Right can it be? Can it be taught? Or is

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 3>it more in built?

0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 4>I think that's a very hard question to answer, honestly,

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:47.880
<v Speaker 4>great because I've seen kids who are amazing. I'll watch

0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 4>them in simulation and I think, wow, the kids got

0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:52.920
<v Speaker 4>to know how they got it and haven't done it

0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:55.440
<v Speaker 4>for ten years. Like you can maybe pick personal early

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 4>traits where people may have it, but yeah, I will

0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:01.200
<v Speaker 4>seeing kids who just don't have it, maybe sadly and

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:04.720
<v Speaker 4>unfortunately for them, maybe never able to run a big

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 4>scene because they just don't have it. Doesn't make them

0:34:07.280 --> 0:34:10.400
<v Speaker 4>a bad person, But on that particular occasion, you wouldn't

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 4>be choosing them to send them into a bus that's

0:34:13.480 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 4>on its roof, Like you'd just be like, no, no, no,

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:16.960
<v Speaker 4>that's I don't do it coming in there.

0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:17.919
<v Speaker 2>I want you to be oble here.

0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:23.360
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, I imagine not everybody wants

0:34:23.360 --> 0:34:25.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a leader some people might go, hey, I'm

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:27.920
<v Speaker 1>happy to just rock up, do what I'm told do

0:34:28.080 --> 0:34:31.319
<v Speaker 1>my job, be a good paramedic. Scott tell me what

0:34:31.360 --> 0:34:32.759
<v Speaker 1>to do, where to be, and what not.

0:34:32.840 --> 0:34:34.319
<v Speaker 2>To do, and you can't.

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 4>It's like any situation, Like if you've got to any

0:34:38.000 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 4>in a kitchen, there's a head chef, the head chef

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:41.840
<v Speaker 4>for the reason, and there's soo chefs and there's commie chefs.

0:34:41.920 --> 0:34:43.879
<v Speaker 2>That's how I see medicine exactly the same.

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:46.000
<v Speaker 4>There's people that are amazing at a thing and if

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:47.600
<v Speaker 4>you can find it and get them to do that

0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:50.880
<v Speaker 4>thing early, and there's people move traffic. There's people who

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:54.799
<v Speaker 4>can console people, and if you have the privilege of

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.319
<v Speaker 4>managing people like that, you can cherry pick and go.

0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:58.840
<v Speaker 4>I want Craig to do that. I want Tiff to

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 4>do that, because they're the roles that you've seen them

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:01.720
<v Speaker 4>do very well.

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:35:02.719 --> 0:35:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you reckon in an alternate reality, you're probably

0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:09.120
<v Speaker 1>still not too old. But do you reckon, You could

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:12.239
<v Speaker 1>be a paramedic if you you know, if you had

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:12.760
<v Speaker 1>have done.

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 3>The training and and had that interest. Yes, yep, you're

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:21.399
<v Speaker 3>okay with all the blood and guts and gore.

0:35:23.040 --> 0:35:26.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think Yeah, I think so, because you know,

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 5>when I think about fighting, which is obviously very different,

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.239
<v Speaker 5>but the state you have to be in the state

0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 5>of dissociation in order to perform yeah and deal with yeah,

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:41.600
<v Speaker 5>and manage your manage your your state and your emotions

0:35:41.600 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 5>and your decision makings. Decision makings, decision making. Yeah, I

0:35:46.520 --> 0:35:46.799
<v Speaker 5>think so.

0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I reckon, you would have been not a bad maybe

0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:53.880
<v Speaker 1>great first responder, whether or not it was ambo cop.

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I could see you being a cop. I was going

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to say, Fiery, what do you do you reckon? She

0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:02.800
<v Speaker 1>would have been a good cop, mate.

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 4>I think she's Tiff is one of the bravest people

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:08.960
<v Speaker 4>I know. That's why I'm attracted to her. She's so

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.600
<v Speaker 4>the things that she does, the things that she's done

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:16.080
<v Speaker 4>in the past, Like for me, I can't help it

0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:17.960
<v Speaker 4>when I spend time with her because I watch what

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:20.960
<v Speaker 4>she does and it's amazing what he does. So I

0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 4>think that absolutely should make an incredible fiery because you

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:27.160
<v Speaker 4>have to have that tenacity of getting going again and

0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 4>going again and going again, and you're exhausted and you've

0:36:29.840 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 4>got twenty six kilos of gear on your back.

0:36:31.800 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 2>And you have to walk up the stairs. No one's

0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:33.800
<v Speaker 2>going to do it for you.

0:36:34.360 --> 0:36:36.120
<v Speaker 4>And I just think tiff would be like, yeah, I

0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:38.000
<v Speaker 4>walk up the stairs for sure, I'll do it.

0:36:37.920 --> 0:36:41.240
