14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 2: Because they asked Dean to give a call, they're getting

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: the entire fifty thousand, and Dean yesterday after the show,

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: and he was very emotional yesterday was brilliant. He said, actually,

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: what he'd like to do is come back on the

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: show today and actually give this news what you've done

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,279

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,000

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,920

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: to Bruce so and they're getting fifty thousand dollars thanks

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 2: to your votes. Let's get Dean Box or super Coach

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: back on the show now, Dean.

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: Christian, how are you? Mate? This is still not me

27
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 3: for sick. This is unbelievable. I called my wife and

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: she couldn't believe it. Mate.

29
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: People were so moved just by the energy. And I

30
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: think you just summed up what the Olympics gave us all.

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: He brought the country together, and I think you summed

32
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: it up that passion, the joy. I think people remember

33
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: that you gave us something. And also the charity that

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: you're representing is an incredible charity in a really important one.

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: Incredible note. I don't think many people can do what

36
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: they did now Stow with dogged you know, courageous are

37
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: the Aussie spirit these guys. Mate. I lived around the corner,

38
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: I lived at the Sunshine Coast and Mate, that story,

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: just mate, it affected me for a very very long time.

40
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: It still gets me.

41
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: They create such big moments in communities, don't they. And

42
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: to go from that to actually doing something which protects

43
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: children and educates parents. Because I've got teenage daughters. No,

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: you're a dad as well.

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: I've got two boys. You just look at them and

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: you go. I used to ride on my bike and

47
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: come home when the lights are on. That was the rule.

48
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: And I can't do that now, and it's terrible. It's

49
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: terrible to know that because Australia is the greatest place,

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: as I said to you before, and these guys are

51
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: just doing a great job, a great job and what

52
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 3: happened to their child to try and help people, it's unbelievable.

53
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: Well said, Thanks Dean. Let's get Bruce on now. Then, Hey, Bruce,

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: thank you very much for sparing a bit of time

00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: to chat to us today.

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely awesome. How are you, Christian.

00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: I'm good and it's a pleasure to speak to you, Bruce.

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: And like Dean and I were just saying, what you

00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: and your wife Denise have been through and also what

60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: you've set up is extraordinary. So thank you for the

61
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: work you do for the children of Australia and the

62
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: families as well.

63
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Oh look, It's not something we necessarily think about on

64
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: the day today, basis, I was just leading listening to

65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,119
Speaker 1: Dean and how are you Deane? Thank you very much

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: for thinking about us. And these funds feed income will

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: be channeled directly into supporting young kids. We look after

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: kids that have had a rough start to life through

69
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: counseling and sometimes a gift. Most of all, we spend

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: a lot of time and a lot of effort and

71
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: a lot of money in educating kids and parents and

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: carers and grandparents on how to stay safe.

73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: Oh I've watched you on TV with your beautiful wife

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: Deneath and the way that you guys conducted yourself. As

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: I said, doge resilient. Everything that we try and do

76
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: with the Australian summits and what we talk about, mate,

77
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: you two are actually it.

78
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Well. Look awesome of you to say that, and you

79
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: know people do shake your hand and say well done.

80
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: Keep it up more or less every day, which makes

81
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: us feel a little uneasy on support. But we're on

82
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: a mission here to educate kids and families and others

83
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: about their safety. So will we have to use these

84
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: funds and make a massic difference?

85
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: Oh amazing and Christian that you're a legend honestly for

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: setting this up and allowing this to actually take place.

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: And I can't believe it, mate, I'm just yeah, this

88
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: one of the best moments, actually one of the best moments.

89
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: Ah Dean's. It's an absolute pleasure. And you know, everything

90
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: you've said, Bruce, you know is how so many of

91
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: us feel. There are many people listening to us right

92
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: now and go through a tough time in lockdown isolation,

93
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of fear and there's a lot

94
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: of anger around. But actually, you know, what you're showing people,

95
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 2: what you've done with what happened to you in life,

96
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: is actually quite extraordinary. It's amazing.

97
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks very much. But it's not just Glisa and I.

98
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: I often in a humorous way so that I only

99
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: come to work to you know, to cake for morning

100
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: teeth and get photographs because I'm sort of at the

101
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: point the engine room look like our stuff. There's only

102
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: a bet a dozen stuff, but you know, they're enormously dedicate,

103
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: and I can tell you when the announcement was made yesterday,

104
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: it was absolutely awesome. They're all jumping for joy, and

105
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: there was no Monday hard to see you. They were

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: seriously full of full of beans, right, Bruce.

107
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: I'm really glad that the fifty thousand dollars is going

108
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: to go to such a great use as well, and

109
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: you're going to do great work with it like you've done.

110
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: I'm also going to make sure that we will separately

111
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,839

00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: The trouble is the belts are on the last notch.

115
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: I might have to jump in the pool myself.

116
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: Tean can put you through a few laps.

117
