Speaker 2: Welcome to the Christian No Come On Show podcast.

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 3: Jack's got an amazing story. I would file this under

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 3: extreme huffing. We've all done something in a hulf.

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 4: We get into huffs. Everybody gets into huffs.

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 3: But this is something you need to do, something to

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 3: just charge the huffing energy, you know, to break up

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 3: the huff that you're in.

9
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 5: You're both in. Everyone has a different way to process it.

10
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 4: But get this, this will be hard to beat. My

11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 4: friend has an argument with his partner and leaves the house.

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 4: Wants to cool off after he's hulf so he goes

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 4: through a drive ends up driving to Sydney from Melbourne.

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 4: From Melbourne, ends up driving to Sydney. By that time,

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 4: his huff is cooled a bit. He goes through a

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: Maca's drive through and then comes back to Melbourne. One

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 4: big round trip.

18
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 5: Or twelve hours easily.

19
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 4: Isn't it more ten hours to Sydney one way?

20
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 5: Of course, it's about twenty hour. That's a day half

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 5: a long half.

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 4: That's a very long hlf.

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,000

26
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 5: I just went to huff around the supermarket.

27
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 4: But at least that's a helpful huff.

28
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 5: They're not angry shop and only came up with three bits.

29
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,800

Speaker 1: And walked along there.

39
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 3: It's awful because at some point the half goes, but

40
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160

162
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 6: up and tap gipps Land. I thought, okay, I'll walk

163
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 6: around and I hang out with the horse and the

164
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 6: dog calm down. And she said, I've got people coming

165
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 6: over on you sulking around. God was like, I or

166
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 6: go somewhere else, so I was, so I just immediately

167
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 6: went for a walk. I'm wearing my I got my

168
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 6: single and my shorts and tongues on, nothing else. It's

169
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 6: about seven o'clock the day I save him, so it's

170
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 6: still bright and I just walked. I thought, all right,

171
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 6: I'll just walk out to like, you know, past the

172
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 6: drive on. You know, we'll get to the road and

173
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 6: then we'll turn around. All be good. But when I

174
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 6: got there, I was like, I'm still angry. So I thought, hey,

175
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 6: I can't stay on the radio. I thought, all right,

176
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 6: well we'll just keep walking then, so I kept walking.

177
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 6: I walked to I walked to the next town. I

178
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 6: was in Langling. So I walked in Niora, which I

179
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 6: would later find out as twelve k away.

180
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: Pilgrimage until the Sick looking for Oh yeah.

181
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 6: It was a lot of self reflection or just exhaustion.

182
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 6: I don't know.

183
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: Anyway, how long was your round trip?

184
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I walked at about seven and I think

185
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 6: I got back about ten or ten thirty. Now, I'll

186
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 6: just remind you there's no foot palls or anything. That's

187
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 6: just sort of road and bush right there. Anyway, So anyways,

188
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 6: when I got when I got to the next town,

189
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 6: it was done to get dark, and I was thinking, oh,

190
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 6: I'm going to get back home. I anyway ended up

191
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 6: getting pitch black and cold, and then I didn't have

192
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 6: anything on me right right, Uh So I pretty much

193
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 6: had to rely on the lights of passing cars and

194
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 6: the sense of a dead animal that I had walked

195
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 6: previously over. No, No, it was awesome, I felt. I

196
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 6: thought it was the coolest thing. Like I was getting

197
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 6: back and I'm like, oh, geez, how much longer I

198
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 6: can't see anything? And then I'm like, oh, it stinks.

199
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 6: I'm like, wait a minute, that's the same stink that's

200
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 6: stunk before I'm getting closer to home. So I got

201
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 6: home and we both didn't really have anything to say.

202
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 6: I was just she was just like, you might want

203
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 6: to have a shower, because I looked down and like

204
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 6: and everything all over my leg like moccasons and probably

205
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 6: at the back of my shoulder was numb as well,

206
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 6: and the cold was just awful. So yeah, he's half

207
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 6: like that.

208
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,560
