1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: This is a Will and Woody podcast mini.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: But when you're in a rush, so Friday afternoon, everyone

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: with this bloke. Everybody's trying to speak to.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Him at the moment.

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 2: His name is on everybody's lips because I think he's

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: arguably completed the greatest physical feat. Well, surely I've ever

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: heard of in my time. I didn't think this was possible,

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: certainly not in the time that it was done. Ned

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: Brockman ran from Cotterslow Beach in Perth to Bondai that

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: he's three nine and fifty three kilometers. He did it

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: in forty six days. Unbelievable. Ned joins us on the

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: show right now, welcome to the show, Ned, thank you boy,

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: Thank that me mate. Great to have you here. We've

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: just got a couple more running songs to get through here,

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: if you don't mind teed.

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: Up a few.

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: Yes, sorry, there, we're putt.

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: A bit of work into these.

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: I'd like've thrown you a bit earlier over the mind more.

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 2: There's another one, all right, first, Frenson, how could you

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 2: forget anyway we've got.

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: And then keep.

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: Make congratulations? Unbelievable and I think that that obviously the

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: feather in the cap or really the reason for all

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: this is your raise two million dollars, which all goes

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: towards Mobilized supporting homeless people. Make congratulations. I mean the

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: first question and it seems like an obvious one from me,

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: but how many times did you feel like giving up?

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: And when you got to that point?

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: What got you through?

31
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

32
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: I am no. I never felt like giving up, not one.

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: So I I always had a reason, reason why to

34
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: keep going, plenty plenty of reasons to keep going. So yeah, yes,

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: it's a matter of showing up each day. I never

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 3: never thought about the four thousand ks ahead of me.

37
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: I only thought about each day, and each of those

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: days I broke it up into twenty k's a day.

39
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: So it's just a matter of yeah, each day and

40
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: then taking off bigger goals.

41
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: So what about and so for us, this next question

42
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: ed you're also hoping to make another millillion dollars, so

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: a further million dollars to go towards Mobilized to end homelessness.

44
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: So if you haven't donated and you want to donate,

45
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 4: get to Ned's record run dot com. I think you're

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: about to go live on Instagram with Hamish Blake to

47
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: continue pushing that, mate.

48
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: But yeah, absolutely, hopefully hopefully today to me that you know,

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: obviously it's the last day and six ten we sent,

50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: so hopefully you can just take another mill. It'd be amazing.

51
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: Snake another meal, two of them.

52
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I just I'd never thought about snaking a mill.

53
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 2: I mean, but you're in those areas now, on you mate,

54
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: your snake to carry on absolutely path that three million

55
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: bucks straight towards saving homelessness. So at Ned Brockman if

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: you want to watch him, he's going live on his

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: Instagram with Hamish very shortly. But Wolds carry on.

58
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to ask you. You said you never

59
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: considered giving up. And there's two moments that I want

60
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: to bring up here, mate. So the first one you

61
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: find maggots growing in your toes.

62
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was not good. I was middle

63
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: of a nullable roadhouse that was sleeping at night and

64
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 3: made Yeah. I felt like I didn grown tone now

65
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: and I kept pulling it back, kept pulling back in

66
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: the woodn't eat. The next day I was out forty

67
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: k to the run. I was like this, this Coe

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: Paine is just unbelievable. What the hell is going on?

69
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 3: And it was raining, raining, and I pulled the sock

70
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: off and I was down in my tupe and there

71
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: was about five maggots just calling out on my on

72
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: the gunk inside. My appealed off Tona. So I I

73
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: questioned question my life choices, but I never thought about

74
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: giving up.

75
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: Where did they join you?

76
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: Mate?

77
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Were they?

78
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: What do you reckon?

79
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 3: I reckon about Wyla because I drove to al to

80
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 3: get an MRI on my shin and I was obviously

81
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: not in socks at that point, and there was a

82
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: lot of flies around there, and I reckon one of

83
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: those bad boys got in there and laid their eggs.

84
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: Oh wow, they laid a few weeks they found a

85
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: nice high jeez, nice home traveling band. Whalea maggots. I

86
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: don't know what this is about the town of Whaler.

87
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: Whale maggots made it, made it to the another boart

88
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: on them.

89
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: As far as Whale the Maggot's ever gone, I'm sure absolutely.

90
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: And then we well, you had a pleasure of talking

91
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: to you right before you kicked off, and the way

92
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: that you spoke about it beforehand before you set off

93
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: was just with this like boundless optimism. Was was there

94
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: a part of you that feels like you underestimated what

95
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: you what you took on.

96
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: I think the best thing, my favorite quote, has been

97
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: naive enough to start and stubborn enough to finish. So

98
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: when you, you know, go into it a little bit underprepared,

99
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: I think each day I just took it as it came,

100
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: and obviously I was, you know, my first eleven days

101
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: around eleven hundred kilometers, and then you know, I got

102
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: I got shocked with an injury, and instead of worrying about,

103
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: oh no, this might be it, it was right, let's

104
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: find a way. Let's find a way to get there.

105
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: How are we going to do that? It was just

106
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: a matter of showing up each day, and then I

107
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: just got all those you know, I got to the

108
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: w A South Australia, Bord, I got to the South Aralia,

109
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 3: New South Wales, and then all of a sudden I

110
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: was nearly home.

111
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: So wow, got so many more questions for him. Right

112
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: up next Ned Brockman stays with us here on will

113
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: and would he just ran four thousand kilometers over forty

114
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: six days, two million dollars to eradicate homelessness. Coddoslow to

115
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: Bondai it's astonishing just thinking about it, imagine running it.

116
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 2: We've got so many more questions for him. Right up

117
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: next to on Will and what is literally the most

118
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: in demand bloke in the country is Ned Brockman, the

119
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: bloke who's just run across the country. It's astonishing. He

120
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: ran from Coddoslow Beach in Perth to Bondai in Sydney,

121
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: four thousand kilometers over forty six days. It like, don't

122
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: try and start doing the maths because it will seem

123
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: impossible to everyone. It's a feat that I, as I

124
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: said before, even just thinking about driving that distance, I

125
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: don't think I could do it, let alone running it.

126
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: So's it's amazing. Raised over two million dollars to eradicate homelesses.

127
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: He's trying to raise a million more head al onto

128
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 2: his Instagram. He's doing a live with Hamish Blake in

129
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: about five minutes time on his insta.

130
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: It truly did inspire the nation.

131
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 4: Mate, Like, I just feel like everyone was talking about

132
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: it everywhere I went. You know, amongst mates, we're talking

133
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 4: about where you were at and how you were going.

134
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: Can I ask of all the messages of support that

135
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: you received over the journey, was there was there.

136
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: One that really stands out.

137
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be able to say because there was just

138
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: so many. But what I really like, I'm very intrinsically motivated.

139
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: So whether I got them or not, it probably you know,

140
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't have changed the outcome. But there wasn't any specific messages,

141
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: but just as a whole, just everyone getting so it

142
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: was very positive. It was very very few negative comments,

143
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 3: so it was just something that I was very exciting

144
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: to get the whole of Australia behind it.

145
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: Sorry, you said what was when you said there was

146
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: very few? What's the gist of a negative comment for

147
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: someone running across Australia to raise too?

148
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: All that it's more the people thinking that I was

149
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: in a way cheating or just because they couldn't actually doing,

150
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: but very quickly deleted and blocked. So it is so.

151
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well absolutely mate. I don't think you're the kind

152
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: of person to get rattled by a nag on Instagram,

153
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: given that you just ran across the country in fifty

154
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: it seems like it's almost like it was a bit

155
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: unfair of them to be targeting you.

156
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: Really, they just laughable, to be honest, It's like you

157
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: can't see any good in it, then don't follow mate. Yeah,

158
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: I gave them the privilege of not being able to

159

Speaker 3: follow me.

160
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: I know when we spoke to you before, you said

161
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: off one of the questions we asked, And maybe this

162
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: is just an insight to how shit our questioning is,

163
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: but you said you were going to take twelve pairs

164
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: of shoes. That sounds like a woody question before the race?

165
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: How many shoes.

166
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:27,720

Speaker 3: than twelve, but every round of fifty to four hundred

171
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: kilometers were just literally ripped the bottom of the shoe away.

172
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,960

173

Speaker 3: half days, I'd be changing to a new pair.

174
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,200
