I want to go into so 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.440 much with you because it's there's a lot to cover here. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.479 Now you're on You're you're known for a chef. It's 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.000 kind of and obviously you know the marathon runner that 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.200 you are. He's a fit fellow. He's probably a lot 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:36.240 fitter than I am at the moment. 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:41.240 But this is your season, so you must be your 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:42.160 peak peak. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.600 But it's about to go downhill real quickly. Mate, Can 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.160 you give us a little bit of background about yourself? 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.360 Can you maybe just give you a sales pitch yourself 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:49.600 and what you're doing at the moment. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.600 Was a lot of sales. That is tough. 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:54.040 I'm American. I do it all the time. 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.800 Yeahs being American, which is actually something I've definitely learned 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:58.720 since living in New York, had to be a bit 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.480 more direct. Yeah, this is a point. But mate moved 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.240 to US six and a half years ago after publishing 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.800 some books in Australia doing some media in Australia it 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.520 was on Master Chef au uh you know, years ago, 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.080 and then moved to the States and as an Aussie 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.360 just got really entrenched in the carnary scene and the 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:21.200 content scheme over there, got involved Food Network, other TV shows, 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.079 and really started to fly the Australian flag as a 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.760 chef on the East Coast as best I could. I 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.520 think it's one of the coolest things. But leaving in America, 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.040 I sayed all the time, is that you generally get 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:30.040 to represent your country. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.120 You would get man actually a lot anytime there's something 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.359 that's American, they're like, hey, who's the typical American guy? 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.800 Actually, though, it's cool, proud moment though. 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:42.000 Right, you didn't meet these people like travel here from 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.360 like your country that you probably wouldn't meet in your country, 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.519 like like Joe Biden, Like, do I have anything to 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:47.200 do with politics? 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.239 No? Have I met him because I played footy? Yeah, 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:54.720 Joe Biden, sep, Joe, I've had a good far waiting 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:59.520 for the White House intro a few years after. But yeah, man, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.880 so like I was just been consistent with content and 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.440 being exposed to some pretty amazing networks and people, and 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.799 I just yeah, obviously launched a restaurant, built my own 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.519 studio kitchen Blow. The restaurant was able to service more content, 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.920 build a podcast, and you know, years later, after just 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.800 being really dedicated and consistent having a pretty awesome team, 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.680 we are Yeah, we continue to grow. It's pretty awesome. 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.560 Now the podcast, the socials shout them out what are 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:25.080 they okay? 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.480 So podcast called the Epic Table, which is actually the 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.799 same name for my production team, but the socials main 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.360 ones Instagram, down Underscore Churchill where you get you know, 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.440 rest of ideas and tips around all forms of training. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.400 And then you've got all the rest of them which 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:39.880 you can just go to down church you dot com 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.560 on the website all link to all of them for you. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.320 Yeah, and it's I think it's so cool. 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.440 Like I've obviously lifted my life up from one place 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:46.320 and put it to another place. 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:46.880 And I think like. 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.560 Whenever you moved to New York, like I've been there 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.119 and I've met you, and I've gone for a run 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:52.760 through Wall Street and across the bridges on George and 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.360 Brooklyn or something like that, and you've absolutely embarrassed me 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.440 on that run. But that was my offason training, never 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.440 going back to training with these guys who runs. 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:02.400 But I think the. 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.040 Cool thing about it is you get there and like, 0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:05.320 I'm not sure how it was where you got to 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.640 New York. It was probably pretty like kind of daunting 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.240 whenever you get there and you don't really know anyone, 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.120 and then you kind of come to this realization that 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:12.800 there's so many people are willing to reach their handout 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:13.200 to help you. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:15.280 And now I'm looking at stuff like. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.720 You're on the Drew Barrymore Show, You've inter reviewed Blake Lively, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.480 like all this kind of food network and all these things. 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.520 It's like, I can only imagine you probably got there 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.040 and you're like, oh man, like what what am we 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.760 going to do? Then you're like, all right, let's get 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.520 boots on the ground. Let's figure out from like you know, 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.240 baar balance, how we're going to build this thing up. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:29.600 And now you got to a place where you're like 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.359 successful and kind of doing your own things, started your 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.600 own cafe and everything else. Like what were those early 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.799 days like in New York? We will get into different 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.520 things because we had Matt pressing on here and Matt 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.840 pressing like he killed it, Like I think we got 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.800 like a million views on TikTok and you go, We'll 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:43.520 go into your top five restaurants in New York and 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.600 all that stuff later. But really, yeah, what was the 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.120 one of the hard parts of like going over there, 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.799 Because I talked about the first six months being the hardest. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.760 Then you get your group, you get your core like 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.800 kind of friends, and then you kind of build from there. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.039 Mate, it was you just nailed it because you do 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.239 get over there and you're in a complete separate world 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.120 and everyone thing you know, you know, I guess an 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.800 Australian cool action. You know, everyone's gonna love him straight away, 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.520 and it's like this world where you're still gotta make friends, 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.000 like you've still got to be a part of this 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.880 whole environment network and so you're starting from scratch. You 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.560 moved over there, and so thank God for you know, 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.440 there's certain things that Australians and Americans still like. It's 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.960 you know, even at cafe level or sport. But I 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.320 slowly began to build a pretty awesome network of people, 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.479 and I liken to the fact of my brothers and 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.360 my close knit friends in Australia. At the time. It's 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.560 like you want people who will call you out, keep you, 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.200 you know, steady, and just know people you can trust 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.720 to to lean on. So the first six months, I agree, 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.479 man was probably like I didn't realize it until reflecting it, 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.200 but it was probably the toughest for sure. I was 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.200 sleeping on a couch early days. So or hey, it 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.679 was so funny. I say this story, it's my favorite story. 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.120 It's like, get this. I'd go to Good Morning America, 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:53.000 Like I'd get up. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:58.000 You really want holding the sign no no, like that guy. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.320 I'd love to be that guy. No. 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.160 I get up and get into the limo and they 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.760 take me to the studio and I do I get, 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:06.920 you know, really well looked after as like I guess 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.160 talent when you're there. One of the most watched, if 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.919 not the most watched morning shows in the world, and 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.520 I'd get back in my car, like the security guards 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.720 to walk me through, making sure like paparatzes and stuff 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.200 don't get in the way and all that is really 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.159 crazy to then jem back in my car, take me 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.080 back to the apartment, and I'll be back on the couch, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.640 so which I kind of laugh, man, Like I really did. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.960 I love that contrast. It's one of the most humbling 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:33.120 experiences in my life. And I just I really, I 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.720 really felt it was never a case of me saying like, oh, 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.280 when's this going to happen? I just it was more 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.640 like an if. And so I just really believed in 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.920 the message that I guess Australians doing food and whatnot 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.680 to bring to the rest of the world, but in 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.240 a like and way that Americans would also relate to. So, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.200 you know, after you know, hanging out at cafes quite 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.000 regularly and building a cool network of friends there, it 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.480 started to grow and become more of a home. 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.880 Yeah, It's it's kind of cool like that contrasting idea 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.760 of like I feel like some times people go, who 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.480 do you live with I'm like, I live on my own, yeah, 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.960 and they're like, wait, so you go from like one 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.159 hundred thousand mtgy go on screaming crazy and then you 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.839 go home just watch Netflix by yourself. And I was like, yeah, 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.240 I was like I need to detox from like crazy 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.520 like adrenaline. I just had to like have something that's 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.840 like super chill now. And I think like New York obviously, 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:20.760 like everyone in Australia has this obsession obsession with New York, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.040 and it is a beauty, it's awesome place, and there's 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.200 like if there's no better place to make connections, no 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.200 better place to kind of grow your business and everything else. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.760 What was your I guess like whenever you started out, 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.520 what was kind of like your big break you reckon 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:32.960 over there? 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.840 Yeah, dude, I think it would be. It's a combination 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.600 of a couple of things that happened. While I had 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.480 some shows that were growing from Australian market and distributed 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.080 to Asia and that was doing quite well. On the 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.720 other side of it, my American side, I had an 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:51.160 opportunity where I'd been building my content very consistently to 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.640 be known through Google searches and even Instagram by like 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.920 as the healthy Chef. And so when brands and things 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.760 will start to look for this performance bas chef which 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.800 has become very parent right now. I was the first 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.400 person and like across all pages that kept coming up, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.480 so Anderma approached me to look after one of their athletes. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.520 At the same time, I just got a new role 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.600 with a Food Network show. So between those two things, 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.520 like on one side, I had the more of the 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.560 everyday chef position coverage because the show. On the other side, 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.960 I was really diving into the performance chef space by 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.440 being able to go to the Winter Olympics in trans 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.160 Youth and Ashley Lindsay Vaughn. Yes, yeah, so I was. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.480 I had no idea anyone that doesn't know Lindsay Vonn. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.320 She's like one of the most well known skiers in 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.880 the world. Like she's an amazing, incredible athlete. So you 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:38.920 went to the Winter Olympics. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:39.960 I went to the Winter Olympics. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.160 Did you get like the rings on you? 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:48.960 Like I would do that, mate, like chef like circles 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.560 and pans. Actually it'd be pretty funny. But yeah. So 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.240 there was there for like a week and a half 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.160 and I got to work with and in an environment 0:08:57.160 --> 0:08:59.760 which is pretty awesome. Like it's like you know, in 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.440 your world you have a group of people who have 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.920 you know, you've got nutritions and on nutrition as noise. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.760 People helped direct your food direction. For me, I was 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.200 the person who was working looking after one person and 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.880 I was the best at the best of the best, 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:17.240 like the Tiger Woods of downhill skiing, and she had 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:18.800 a team and I was a part of that. So 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.480 that was an incredible experience. But through that it really 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.400 launched me into being known as this person who can 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.600 deliver on that stage. Subsequently, I was every go other 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.679 the World Championships with her, which is her final event, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.720 and that led me into this space of helping people 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.760 eat like a legend and you know eating you know, 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.280 vegetables and all these good stuff that Drew Drew likes 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:39.360 to see with me as well. 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:40.679 Yeah it's okay. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:43.960 Winter Olympics with Lindsay Vann would have been an epic experience, 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:44.840 crazy d. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:47.319 Olympic village. 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.400 So we did so. She had she got the US 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.240 ski team. It's a bit different to like the Summer Olympics. 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:54.920 You've got the US ski team which is put up 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.040 in a region. She had her own facility, like her 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.520 own place, because she had a bigger team specifically, Yeah, 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.440 just because she's incredible, and so I would like go 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.679 to the US Ski team and check out and speak 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.679 to like the universal chef there, he's a legend, and 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.160 then we would chat about you know, produce that's coming 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.280 in access to what we have, and then I would 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:15.719 then work out the recipes and things like that and 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.760 then go back to my own personal one. So it 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.120 was it was pretty funny. Like when I think about it, 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.760 like I'm walking, I'd go to the mountain, I'd be 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.439 watching some of the amazing athletes just coming down the mountain, 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.319 and then I go back and make a wicked dinner 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:27.960 and make sure she's dialed in for the next day. 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:28.640 It's pretty awesome. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.000 Hey, man, the chef, I feel like, is the most 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.520 important person that I'm telling you, chef at our place, 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.760 all my best friends at the club. I'm telling you, 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.079 it's like one person you haven't in with, Like it's 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.880 the chef, the chefs where it's at man, like, man 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.600 that anytime you will take away a meal. 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.840 Yea, you have a little pricy. Do you have any 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.280 special requests that you get? 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:46.160 Yeah?

Obviously a lot of 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.840 people know that as the hymn'sworth app that's here in Australia, 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:21.080 Like how did you get into that and what are 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:21.959 you doing with it at the moment. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.640 Yeah, So Chris and I met at a tourism Australia 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:26.880 ran quite a few years ago now and we're just 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.960 talking about the lifestyle of Australian's where you know, he 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.640 likes to train and specific like eat like you know, 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.960 we're talking about that and he was like it's really interesting, 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:40.240 like hearing his perspective on he never really had a resource, 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.160 so he doesn't know anyone have resource that wasn't like 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.800 specific to lifestyle is more built around like eat these foods, 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.000 do this workout and that's it. It was very much 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.360 Jim Jim like junkie kind of thing, which respectfully have 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:52.880 done an amazing for a lot of people, but he 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.160 wanted to create something a bit more inspirational about the 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.480 lifestyle he likes to lead. And so you know, after that, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.360 he was like, hey, man, maybe Megan much on a bit. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.040 And when I say he'll get in touch, his team 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:03.760 was going to get in touch. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:04.120 Yeah. 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.640 Yeah, it's a great mate. Awesome, like that is it? 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.240 That is like Hemsworth World is crazy, but no, yeah, man. 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.400 Then like years later, it's like two years later, I 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.160 got I got an email and sure enough the app 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:20.960 was being built and they wanted to be the chef 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.040 of it, and so building out contents and working with 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.480 them to really make sure this you know, easily achievable meals. 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.040 That's probably one of the best things. Is like, yes, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.040 they're good for you, and they're you know, they're to 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.040 serve a purpose. But Santa's all about making sure we 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.560 build this community of encouragement around each other, knowing that 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.520 what they're doing is amazing for them. So the food 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:42.079 that they're doing is easily recreatable and tasty. That's that's 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:45.080 where're weaning. So it's an amazing app And we just 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.040 had an amazing announcement where High Post Capital came in 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.120 and ejected some money, but part of it was brought 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.640 out and then they merged again with another company called 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.160 Inspire in the US. So we've just got some bigger 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:56.280 things happening in US. Now. 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:56.880 That's massive. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:58.959 I think, like you talk about people getting in shape 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.600 and diet and all that, and that's it's very hard 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:02.680 to do on your own own. But it's like whenever 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.079 you get a community to do it with you like 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:05.719 and to drag people on with you. It's the same 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.280 thing in like sport man, like you you want to 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:09.800 be working out with the best guy because you know 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.240 he's going to lift you up to his level. And 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:12.840 it's like it's always like that, and whether it be 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.200 doing you know, a diet and whether it be working out, 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:16.800 like oh, that's obviously mixed in to try to get 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.720 into a better shape. But whenever you do it with 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.839 a community, you have that like probably ten times is 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.080 more success rate. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:23.920 Whenever it comes to that. 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.320 Absolutely, it's like one of the most rewarding things is 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.120 seeing the Facebook community engage each other and like support 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.880 each other when the like the I guess this center 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.600 experts aren't And same with you man, Like you imagine 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.079 being in tennis versus being a team sport that you are. 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.800 Like you look at a curios or like a federer 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.800 or an adult they have to get up and guess 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:43.920 they have a team around them. It's better to support 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.000 them a majority of the time. It's like to keep 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.120 them going. In an individual team sport, you guys got 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.800 a whole cohort of people you can rely on to, like, 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.559 you know, just lift you up, get you going. You're 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.920 in the gym together, having good time. There's good banter. 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.880 So it'd be really tough to be like. That's why 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.559 I think being an individual sport at the top of 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.360 the game forever is amazing. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:08.760 I can understand whenever Curios just loses his ship bag, 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.920 I'm like, you know what, I'd be worse than that. 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.400 Everyone judges it and everything else. It's like, can you 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.200 imagine this thing though, Like you think about this for second? 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.160 How are you as a person off the field? 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:19.040 Go terrible? Dude? 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:20.880 I got injured like in the prelam, and I was 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.160 just like I lost it in the change room, like 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:24.800 just walked away from the docks. I was like, I 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.400 just need five minutes to absolutely lose my shit and 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:28.920 then I'll be outside and I'll be already and I'll 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:29.760 be able to support everyone. 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:34.160 Now, that's the thing, like being perfectly is competitive, and 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.560 so people see you in media, see you on TV, 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:38.600 you see you doing all these things. But then you 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:40.720 take away with your family and your friends, you're like 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.760 the person that is just general, so like you curious. 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.880 It's really frustrating when people judge someone like that and 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:50.080 all athletes in general on their attitude on the court, 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.000 because it's like, it's not fair because if you're if 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.680 I'm an absolute shit person when I was playing rugby, 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.680 like I did not want to play against me. I'm 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:01.600 a menace. My job is getting but exactly, but like 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.760 you know, I'm a decent bloke off the field. 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.720 It's a typical evenfl It's like start of the sign 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.560 I never understood on my camping, or like sir and 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.840 goes game starts everyone's an asshole, people talking shit and 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:12.920 everything else, Like sir and goes into the game. They're like, 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.440 how's the fan been? Man had great story, big fan 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:17.600 of it. Man, I hope you've been well, hope everything. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:18.880 I was like, dude, you just literally punched me in 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.040 the back of the head two minutes ago. I was like, 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.240 what the hell's going on? Like this is bullshit. But 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.720 then it's like it is that typical, like you know, 0:15:23.880 --> 0:15:25.920 within the within the lines, like kind of anything goes. 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.680 But now I've got to this point in society where 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.640 we now have cameras in it and now we're kind 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.840 of like bringing stuff into we dissect what's going on 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.760 between the lines, and it's just yeah, I mean, like 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:35.920 competitive juices. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:37.080 Get flowing and maybe you talk a bit of shit. 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.160 You know, you have to do that sport. It's all 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.000 part of it, exactly, It's all part of it. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.240 We'll go back. So you got a book coming out. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:43.960 What's the book called? 0:15:44.600 --> 0:15:46.560 This is going to be called Eat Like a Legend, 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.120 Eat Like a Legend.
