Yeah, and I still have version four to go. 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,639 Speaker 3: That'll be the best one. 22 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to. I'm very much looking forward to 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: saying that. 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: Now, Phil, yours looks like it's been freshly cash made. 25 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 4: The size up a little bit. Yeah, yeah, I've sort 26 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 4: of always grown on the verge of a mullet. Yeah, anyway, 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 4: But now we've got the go ahead. 28 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: To do this for a good cause. 29 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 4: Just let it loose now. 30 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely, they look like fun, They look like a great time. 31 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: Now this has obviously got a really serious side to 32 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: it as well. You're raising money and awareness for mental health. 33 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: What sort of prompted you, you know to do this? 34 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 3: Oh well, personally, early on this year, I had a friend, 35 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 3: I lost a friend's suicide, and we've also lost a 36 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: few colleagues in the police force to suicide. To share, 37 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: those people were generally man, and I work with predominantly man, 38 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 3: so it kind of promoted prompts me to do something 39 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 3: about it. I just I don't want to think that 40 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 3: any of my work colleagues are male friends or anyone 41 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: would be wanting to suffering sailings. So we're kind of 42 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: doing it to raise awareness and hopefully encourage people to 43 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 3: speak up and realize that they're never on the own. 44 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 3: There's always someone that's going through similar things, so that 45 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: can help them. 46 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, good on you. I think that's a really 47 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: great thing to do. 48 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: And you know, so often when we go through a 49 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: really difficult time in our lives or you know, professionally 50 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: or personally, it can you know, like you can either 51 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: sort of do nothing or you can all band together 52 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: and help each other. And I reckon that's such a 53 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: nice way of doing it. Phil, You know, it's it's 54 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: a great thing to do, but it is a great cause, 55 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: is Nash. 56 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. 57 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 4: I think life is full of ups and downs for everybody. Yeah, 58 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 4: highs and lows, and I think if we can have 59 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 4: our low time and talk to our friends who may 60 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 4: be having to be a high time and help you 61 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 4: through those loads. I think it's more important than anything else. 62 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. 63 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: It's really important and really important to make sure that 64 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: we do communicate with each other. But also, you know, 65 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: get rid of that stigma that's attached to mental health 66 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: as well. We need to talk about it more openly 67 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: and and you know, the more open we are, I 68 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: think the more you break down those barriers. So it 69 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: is a really important thing to do. And I would 70 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: imagine that you two and everybody else growing the mullets 71 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: have got lots of people asking you why. 72 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: So it's a good conversation starter, isn't it. 73 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. 74 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: How many of you fieries are growing mullets, eleven in total. 75 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: Who's got the most impressive one? 76 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 4: You can't call it a mullet, the scullet. One of 77 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 4: the boys, Josh. 78 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: Oh, he's growing a scarlet you can't. 79 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 4: Grow on top of his head. So he's just grown 80 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 4: the back. 81 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: And how's that going for him? Is it going very well? 82 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 4: You earn a hat a lot. 83 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: I would say he's looking forward to shaven old. But 84 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: it looks fantastic at the moment. 85 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes, you know, when you attempt to grow a mullesh, 86 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: the back doesn't grow as fast as what you might 87 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: like if you're struggling to sort of grow it on 88 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: top as well. So the scullet sounds like an interesting, 89 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: interesting way to go. Yes, oh, I think it's. I 90 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: think it's so great what you guys are doing. And 91 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: it's so great, you know, I think too to see 92 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: you your team sort of join together to do it 93 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: for mental health. Now, I'm sure that there'll be people 94 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: listening this morning who are wondering, firstly, how they can 95 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: see all these mullets.
