00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 4: Well, guys, tell them where we're sign from as well.

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: But you know, we're born in Australia. For those of

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 4: you that are new and are tuning in, we were

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 4: born here in Australia, and most of us were born

33
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 4: in Canberra, in a capital territory of Australia. So we're

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: very blessed to be born here in a beautiful country

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 4: like Australia. And I can't believe that it's taking us

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 4: so long to realize how good we have here in Australia.

37
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, bro, you know, I think we're the luckiest. We're

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: the luckiest Islanders.

39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: And like I have to agree, because being an Islander

40
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: born in Australia, I didn't realize how privileged we were until,

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: like you start thinking outside of the worce, because we

42
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: bring it up there. You know, our criminal pass and whatnot.

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 4: But like it's almost like you feel ashamed that you

44
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 4: were acting a type of way. What do you mean

45
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: like just like I'm going off the rails, you know,

46
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: doing dumb shit and just like you know, and then

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: like when you come to when you come to an

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,399
Speaker 4: understanding of where your position positioned in Australia. Yeah, for example,

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 4: like bro, we got a good here. You know the

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 4: opportunities I'm saying, Yeah, let's she's siding here.

51
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: The sky's the limit.

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: Bro.

53
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: We had a question that this is why we chose

54
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: to cover this topic. Yeah, we have it. We had

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: a question that came in someone from America. They must

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: have been watching videos where people were saying that everyone

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 3: else looks down on them in America everyone in Australia

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: and looks down in them. What do you think the

59
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: cases are?

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: Nah, I think it's just there's a variety of just

61
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 4: differences and I think it just comes off like based

62
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 4: off judgment. I think, yeah, because you're you're basing off

63
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: judgment like people from this country and then people are

64
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 4: there from this regional country and it's just like it's

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: almost coming off.

66
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 3: As if like they're a bit nosy as well.

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: You know, like I wonder what these Islanders are like

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: over there, or they're probably unhealthy, you know they probably yeah,

69
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 4: they're probably.

70
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: Like it's not it is, But I feel like Islanders

71
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: look down on whoever's not part of whatever. Yeah, they happened.

72
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 3: The same thing happened with New Zealand and Australia when

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: there wasn't that much much of us here. Cylanders used

74
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: to laugh at us. Yeah. I remember wearing ten's on

75
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: the road and seeing some of the New Zealand boys.

76
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: They used to be like, hey, bro, you going tennis?

77
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: They used to laugh, lad, And I used to be like,

78
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: what the fuck, Like I'm wearing ten hundred dollars shoes. Yeah,

79
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: And then now there's a lot of them were in

80
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: tens and it's crazy.

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: And I feel like maybe because we weren't like a

82
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: part of the island community like in the yeah, like

83
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 3: we looked like outside maybe maybe like in a way

84
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: you say, it looks like that.

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, in a in a massive sense as well.

86
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: It's a lot to do with comparison as well. Like

87
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: I think our our islander culture plays a big part

88
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: in comparison and just being judgmental. It's in our nature

89
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: you know, like hearing bro and it's like yeah, but

90
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: you hear it from from the athletic sports stage two

91
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: at home, Like it's it's like forever competition with these

92
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 4: other Islanders. Oh you're from New Zealand or your your

93
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: food is better, but we've we've got better looking Like

94
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: it's always like it's always something stupid like that. And

95
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: I guess like it's within it's very common within our

96
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: own people, and that's something like we've got to break

97
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 4: out of our own shell. You know, I'll see it

98
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 4: a lot. It's very common with us Islanders. You know,

99
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 4: we're just always comparing. You never hear the end of

100
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: it when someone's when the Islander person starts starts up

101
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 4: a bit. Yeah, is always his own people that are like,

102
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: you know, speaking up about his errors and all like

103
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: just just like snaky stuff.

104
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, I want to put that to bed.

105
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, I actually I actually love the women all together, man.

106
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: And I learned this in jail. And speaking of the Americans,

107
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 3: I also learned this in jail. So I don't know

108
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: if this is true, correct me if I'm wrong, But

109
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: I had a guy that came from Oh he was

110
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: in America, for a bit and he came and downtime

111
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 3: in Australia and he said, hey, doggle, like all the

112
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: Islanders in America they put they hang their flag on

113
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 3: their room, every single cell they're gonna have a flag

114
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: on their room. And then in America in America, so

115
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 3: I understand how I remember Sam said it's not as

116
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: much as Islanders and that, you know, yeah, yeah, well

117
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: this is what this guy was telling me. Correct me

118
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: if I'm wrong, But he said all the boys would

119
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: hang like if you're tongue, and the boys would hang

120
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: a big tongue and flag on their doors. And if

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: your islander would do that, that's mud started following suit.

122
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, and say like being an Islander in prison was

123
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 4: actually you know, it's like a prideful thing.

124
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a prideful thing. Like not a prideful thing,

125
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: not a powerful thing, but like you're just proud to represent. Yeah.

126
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: Like I feel like I feel like Australia is slowly

127
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 4: turning into something like that, like where you know when

128
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: something like massive like the World Cup comes on, which

129
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: is this year we got the World Cup this year? Yeah,

130
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 4: and I'm like bad when something massive like that comes on.

131
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: But everyone gets together, the Polynesian community. Everyone starts to

132
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: wrapping their countries. You see the hundred flags in front

133
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 4: of the houses, a hundred seas on the cars. But

134
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: everyone knows that we're so passionate when it comes to

135
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: our countries. Yeah, and man, it's mad to see that

136
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: they're doing that in America.

137
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and other countries as well. I'm pretty sure New

138
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: Zealand off its head. And just just for a audience now,

139
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: I just wanted to quickly say, without any further or

140
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 3: do that cookies we realized that cookies are the best dances.

141
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: Oh so, yeah, we made a bit of a mistake

142
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: of our apologies. We've seen a few cookies getting heated

143
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: in the comments, and yeah, we actually did forget that

144
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: cookies are the best dancers.

145
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: A good friend of ours. What's his name, Clemen? I'm

146
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: pretty sure it was cookie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so this

147
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: is good friend of ours. I think that's why I

148
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: never crossed my mind, because Clemen didn't really dance or

149
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: sing a lot.

150
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: He could drink that I was a heavy drinker, man.

151
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: But man, yeah, I'm shocked that it's the cookies. Man.

152
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 4: But I think I have an idea that they were

153
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: a good they were, they were good bunch of dances.

154
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: But not Yeah, well because I literally thought it was moldies.

155
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: You know what, I gotta admit that cookie, that cookie, hacker,

174
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,640

00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: wore scream up, like the whole point of that the

188
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,480

00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: killed that part. Man. I just wish their play style

190
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: was the same.

191
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: Yah, because I've heard a lot about the cook Islanders,

192
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 4: but I've never really seen the water answer.

193
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: It's interesting.

194
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, well fuck well there is there is a few

195
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: Cookies here in we just hardly see them. But yeah,

196
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 4: hardly see them. But they're very like low key Islanders.

197
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: They stick to themselves. Yeah, very very out there. Yeah,

198
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 4: and like you can't for me personally, I can't really

199
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: tell Cook Islander if I was to see one walking by,

200
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 4: like I couldn't really tell. Like I could tell a

201
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: difference between a tongue and someone the times, but if

202
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 4: you were to see a cook Islander, you can't really tell.

203
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: You probably think it's monkey or you know, in the

204
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: high in New Zealand. But they the cookies here in Australia,

205
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 3: they're actually very very similar to us. So he could

206
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: go to a cookie's house and you feel at home,

207
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: You feel like her.

208
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 4: The way they cook, they were, the way they do

209
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 4: everything exactly the same, probably just not as many as them.

210
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Anyway, since we're talking about Polynesians in Australia, Yeah,

211
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 3: how about we speak about our experience in ton when

212
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: we were over there, because a lot of people listen

213
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: to us that here hear our accent and everything, and

214
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: they think we've been born and raised Ozzie too, Blue

215
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 3: Australian fair INCA mate.

216
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: It's a bit of both. Brond, I can't lie. But

217
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 4: I remember when we were in Tonga. We had some

218
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: good memories, but we did have some bad memories. I

219
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 4: got to a bit bro like, and in terms of

220
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: bad memories, I'll just start Astralian.

221
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: Don't talk about the airport. Whatever you do. Oh no,

222
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not even gonna talk about the airport

223
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 3: many legs.

224
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: Oh the dog, Yeah, shout out to the dog of

225
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: any lex Bro. It was privileged to have him on Bro.

226
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 4: But Tonga, I'm not sure how it looks now. At

227
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 4: least we know how the airport looks, but I'm not

228
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: sure how it looks now. But like when we were

229
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 4: back in Tonga and we're going to school there, we

230
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 4: did get looked down on a lot. I think it's

231
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: because the whole village knew that we were Australian tongueents.

232
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 4: We went in Tonguans, so in their eyes we were

233
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 4: like fresh meat is what they call you in jail.

234
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: It's like walking in jail and your fresh meat.

235
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 4: So even though we look like tonguans in Australia, we

236
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 4: look like full on tonguins. When we go back to Tonga,

237
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 4: we look like fresh meat to these guys. And like

238
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: walking in jail for the first day, it's like everyone

239
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 4: looked at you, Like yeah, everyone looks at you, and

240
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 4: you're either a walking atm or you're a walking punching bag.

241
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: That's That's the best way I can explain it to you.

242
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: And that's how we felt like most of the days

243
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: where I was.

244
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 4: There, I remember going to school there. I remember one

245
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 4: time Jay was getting bullied there as well. Yeah, but

246
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 4: I'll leave Jay for for Jay to come and explain

247
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 4: that for himself. But there was I actually really liked that, Bro,

248
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 4: And we yeah, we got off to know good. Like

249
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 4: we were always like little adventurers, like wherever we wanted. Yeah,

250
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: if we wanted to eat there, we were catching whatever

251
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 4: we wanted to. Yeah, and those days we were eating

252
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff that don't even stay on the podcast,

253
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 4: but we were eating whatever we wanted. Like I felt

254
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: like we lived a free life. Yeah, and that's very

255
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: that's very true in that aspect living in you can

256
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 4: actually live off the land, broke.

257
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: Bro.

258
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 3: You don't need to pay taxes or you don't need

259
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 3: to pay rent for anything.

260
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: But so that's why I don't get it when the

261
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 4: family and Tom are like, hey, send me money, I

262
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 4: was saying, those.

263
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: Off my.

264
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 4: But we're doing your heart. You know, you're construction, Okay, lawyer, lawyer,

265
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 4: fuck Bro. Hopefully they didn't find out we're doing podcasts

266
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: podcast sitting there, Oh my god.

267
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, bro.

268
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: I'd have to say tongue definitely, hands down one of

269
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: the best experiences. Like I wouldn't even I don't regret

270
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: anything about it, like the good stuff and the bad

271
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 4: stuff that happened about it.

272
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: We were we were, we were we were pretty much outsiders.

273
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: When we went to to Yeah, people were like you

274
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 3: the fuck are these Oussie boys?

275
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah?

276
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: So after three years of living there, I don't know

277
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: who decided, but my parents decided to bring us back.

278
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: So now we're in Australia and the Oussie boys were

279
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: looking at us like the fuck are these freshes? Oh

280
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: my god, but we're fresh meat here, fresh meat, damn man.

281
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: So we we we adapted to the life of like,

282
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: you know, getting chucked in the jungle. Yeah, that's how

283
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: I like And that's how Jayl was so adaptable. We

284
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: were so used to just jumping, just stomping something new

285
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 3: and being the outsider, going with the flow, you know.

286
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I feel like we've always just we've practiced

287
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 4: us for so long in our life where now it's

288
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: just come adaptable. You can put us anywhere. Yeah, you

289
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 4: can put us anywhere. You can put us in a

290
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: jungle and we'll figure out how to do a.

291
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 3: Podcast talk animals. Yeah, but yeah, coming to Australia, I remember,

292
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: like I was so used to the free life and tommer,

293
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: yeah and say coming here because I couldn't blend in

294
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: with school and friends and all of that stuff. So

295
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: you know, that's why we turned to crime. It was

296
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 3: one of the reasons why we turned to crime. We

297
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 3: were like, you know, opportunists. We were looking at any

298
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 3: ways to make money and like to eat without having yeah,

299
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: to live off our parents.

300
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: And like I'll have to say, coming coming from a

301
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 4: place like Tara, where you're living off the land and.

302
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: You're not you're not expected of anything.

303
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 4: You know, it's obvious that there's there's shortages of money,

304
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: so it's like a lifestyle there. But they were coming

305
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: to a place like straight out and especially Sydney, you know,

306
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: where everything in the work rate is so increased and it's.

307
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 3: Like for the Americans there that are out there are watching,

308
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: Sydney will be something similar to New York from what

309
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: I've heard. From what I've heard, Sydney is like similar

310
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: to New York. Everything is just fast face fast. But yeah,

311
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: I can't I always imagine New York being a bit

312
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: more hectic, man, I feel like New York. I don't

313
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: think we're on that that level New York level yet.

314
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but whenever I see like little snippets of New

315
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: York's subway, something is always happening, but like someone's dying

316
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: or getting shot, or someone's busking on the on the train.

317
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: There's a lot of stuff happening. But just subway. It

318
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: was way too crazy for me. And then you look

319
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: at a place like Sydney. We actually got a good

320
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: hear man, and I think growing up in Sydney, man,

321
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 3: I think that's what separates Sydney from America and New Zealand. Bro.

322
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: Like the standard here for living is just bro through

323
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: the roof. Everyone's gonna be like. It's not as hectic

324
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 3: as Dubai, obviously, but Sydney is like the Dubai for Tanne.

325
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: You coming from Tonnel to Sydney, it's like a Dubai.

326
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: Everyone's at a certain level and you've got to keep

327
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: uph otherwise you're left in the curve, you know what

328
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 3: I mean.

329
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 4: And I guess that's what all the fresh is back

330
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 4: home think. You know, we're we're all coming to this,

331
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 4: you know, place of haven. It's like a Dubai like

332
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 4: the way they see it in their eyes, they think

333
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: we're making big money, like we're millionaires. Yeah, but bro,

334
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 4: you come to the phone, now, you come in Sydney,

335
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 4: you get a chuck straight in the deep end. Bro,

336
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 4: no one's here to help you. I think that's one

337
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: of the biggest things that I learned working in Sydney

338
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: in the workforce first and any industry, I think networking

339
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: is one of the most important things. You've got to

340
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 4: know people to get in anywhere. And I have to

341
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 4: say I've got that's got landed. My first of I

342
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 4: knew someone, I think it was my cousin or my friend.

343
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 4: And then throughout all my years of my whole work life,

344
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: I'm always just knowing someone.

345
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 3: That's how I got in. Yeah, And it's been like

346
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 3: that for years. Bro, I just realized. I guess that's

347
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: a good strategy living in Sydney, always on keeping your

348
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 3: network up to date. Not a lot of people, but man,

349
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 3: I've found my life to be ten times more easier

350
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 3: when I was like getting rid of people. Yeah. I

351
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: think everyone will eventually eventually get to a stage where

352
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: you don't need to know anyone. Yeah, because of how

353
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: much knowledge and how much how far you've gone.

354
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 4: It's it's a lot better to not know anyone because

355
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 4: people people also become like leaders.

356
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: In Sydney, you know, everyone's just jumping on each other's backs.

357
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 3: It's like I feel like in Sydney. How do I

358
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: say it?

359
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:48,479
Speaker 4: Man?

360
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 3: Do you ever feel like.

361
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: You felt like a bit of an outcast being a

362
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 4: Polynesian and jumping straight into the workforce. Did you ever

363
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 4: feel like you were like kind of categorized into were like, oh,

364
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 4: this guy's pub.

365
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 3: A construction worker or yeah, well well that's a good

366
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 3: thing though, that's a good thing. People are hard workers. Yeah,

367
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 3: no one, No one can deny that. You get to

368
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 3: any workforce. But and it's a good thing that our

369
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 3: people are looked at as hard workers. People won't think

370
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 3: it's a ship thing. Remember Jesus was serving everyone. Jesus

371
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 3: was a server before he became a leader. Yeah, bars

372
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: never Anyways, it's a good thing that people look at

373
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: us as hard workers because that's how I got as

374
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: far as I could. Because your brain can take you

375
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 3: so far until your body's got to keep up, you

376
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 3: know what I mean? And say, you know, as long

377
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: as you're a hard worker, don't worry about the Everything

378
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 3: you need to know will catch up with you. And

379
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 3: our people are so talented, so talented, and they work

380
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: so hard, and everyone needs to understand that.

381
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 4: So looking down on each other, you know, we have

382
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 4: some of the our cultures that has some of the

383
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: most talented, hardest workers. And I guess that's how I

384
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: navigated my way through through construction. So I se pick

385
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 4: up jobs some builders and mine.

386
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: You.

387
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: I got out of jail, I didn't know how I

388
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to

389
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: do ship, but I was going out to build it, saying, yeah,

390
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: I've got the guns for this, I can do this

391
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: in one day, I can do this in two weeks

392
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 3: just making up bullshit, and the builders will full for it.

393
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 3: That will full for it because of how how hard

394
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 3: working how people are.

395
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 4: And then they look at someone like you, you just

396
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: got out of jail and you're jacked up and you're

397
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 4: telling him this old his house in the day, and

398
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: they're like, yeah, done knows, We'll give the job to you.

399
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: Imageries everything. Yeah, But even when you get to a

400
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 3: higher level, when you get to a higher level, when

401
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: you're sitting in important rooms and as well. People will

402
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 3: often believe what you're safe. They know you've got good

403
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 3: work ethic.

404
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I see it in a good way and a

405
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 4: bad way, and in a bad way in a sense

406
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: where like people see a lot of Polynesians working in

407
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 4: constructions and we just kind of get category rise just

408
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 4: to that limited position, you know, not not in a

409
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 4: higher hierarchy, like like a builder, Like I don't know

410
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 4: someone in the hope someone in the high position. Because

411
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 4: when you see a lot of Islanders like just just

412
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 4: a normal trade, but now it's changing dramatically, Like there's

413
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 4: Polynesians jumping into businesses.

414
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah you know, we're killing it. They're making millions. Yeah

415
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 3: they're not going to say anything, but they're not gonna

416
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 3: they're they're giving on the download we know heaves. Like

417
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: when I got into the construction industry, I was so shocked.

418
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 3: But the amount of tongues that were running big companies

419
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: and they were offloading jobs to me. Fuck, that's mad.

420
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking, you little shifty country. Yeah you don't

421
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: want to tell them the world? Yeah yeah, but yeah, yeah,

422
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 3: there are a lot of Islanders doing it big. But

423
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: you have to do big, bro, you can just you

424
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 3: can just yeah, you can be a normal worker, brand killer.

425
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 3: I love us making. I love just like man.

426
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 4: Lately the past few years, I've just loved how basic

427
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 4: my life is and like move my routine, Like I

428
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 4: just love basic things. I love that jail life. Yeah,

429
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 4: I think jail has made me like that. Jale's really

430
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 4: really humbled me. And it's so important for me to

431
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 4: say that because before I went to Dale, I used

432
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: to exalt myself so much times, and especially when I

433
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 4: was around my brothers, like I always needed to prove something.

434
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 4: And I feel like in jail I really got humbled. Yeah,

435
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 4: but I feel like and like there is a verse

436
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 4: that says that those who exalt themselves will be humbled,

437
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 4: those who are humble will be exalted by God himself.

438
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 3: Wow, say sweet, Yeah, I swear to God there's a verse.

439
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: I can't remember what verse.

440
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 4: Maybe it was in Matthew or Mike or Luke while

441
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: bringing up but yeah, anyways, I have to say, so

442
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 4: you love the routine life. I love I love the

443
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 4: routine life. And I'm so thankful that Dale had to

444
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 4: teach me that. But I couldn't even teach myself that

445
00:22:59,440 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: before Dale.

446
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: I had to. I had to get jail, get into

447
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: jail to.

448
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 4: Teach me a proper routine, routine, and every yeah, you're

449
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 4: waking up the same time, sleeping at the same time,

450
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: training at the same time.

451
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: Reading books, whatever it is. But everything is like just

452
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: a normal routine.

453
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 4: And I've arguably kept kept with the same pace, kept

454
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 4: it the same routine after I got out of jail.

455
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's like it's just crazy. I just love

456
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 3: a simple life of just working and the island. There's

457
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: that love that that sort of life. Usually the fittest,

458
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: usually the fittest for my my like you know, experience,

459
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 3: I understand love the routine and they're really consistent.

460
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it because I just feel like, you know,

461
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 4: God has blessed me with so much, and I'm just

462
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 4: grateful for what I have, you know, I'm grateful for

463
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 4: everything that I have. I love just to just work

464
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 4: a normal job. I love to just read my Bible,

465
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 4: you know. I just love to serve God and my family.

466
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: And I feel like I feel like everyone, every individual

467
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 4: to their own souls, you know, like you've got to

468
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 4: see you got to see what you want to pursue

469
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 4: in life and what's your purpose, you know what I mean.

470
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: I feel like everyone has a different purpose, and for me,

471
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 4: I just love the basic stuff, you know, the basic routine.

472
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 3: Speaking of working, let's quickly watch the channel Line news.

473
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 3: He pretty much exposed to use foreign trainings in there. Yeah.

474
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 4: So for those of you that don't know, we're in

475
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 4: the scaffolding game for a very very long time, even

476
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 4: before we went into Dale.

477
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: It is. Let's have a bit of a reactor to it.

478
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: I want to make money off the streams. We don't

479
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: want to profit off the destruction of our own people.

480
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: Today life looks a lot different. The brothers work hard

481
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 3: for their cash on your site, earning and honest living

482
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: children maybe heading down the wrong path. There's a little

483
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: snippet of us on the on the construction site. So

484
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: that's actually when I had the green Light trades business.

485
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 3: And my brothers used to always come and help me

486
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: explain what you were doing there, and I'm surprised how

487
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 3: it was a safe work. I was chucking up trainees

488
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: to Jimmy shadow Jimmy find more. Oh, such a such

489
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 3: a soldier, you know. You know, when I started the

490
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: scaffolding business, I've got a lot of ex criminals yeah,

491
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: to come on and it.

492
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 4: Was like it was mad.

493
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: It was the best.

494
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 4: It was like a little brotherhood, brotherhood group. Bro, it

495
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 4: was so mad, Like it was just a lot of

496
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 4: the boys we knew from the past.

497
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 3: And mind you, we were only slowly changing. This is

498
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 3: when roads were starting to change. Yeah, but twenty one

499
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: District was still known. Yeah, and the music was still dropping.

500
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 3: So I remember we were on construction sites and boys

501
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 3: were like like us twenty one District on the scaffold.

502
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: Like twenty one District. You know how many times we

503
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 4: heard boys on the construction side. And you know, like obviously,

504
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 4: like after that, my mentality started to change, Like I realized,

505
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: but we can't.

506
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: We can't be doing business and being gangsters. We've got

507
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: to be able to mix with everyone. We've got to

508
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 3: be able to like you know. That was one of

509
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: the reasons that changed. But it was also so inspiring

510
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 3: to see the boys. Like we had criminals. So I

511
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: had some boys they're working for me that I was

512
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: in jail with, and it was so inspiring to see

513
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: them come and work because because a lot of people

514
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: look down on nine to five, you know, And all

515
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: it took was for boys to be like oh that

516
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: wrapper Mallek and wrap around God is working on scaffold

517
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: and they're investing in business and they're doing nine to five.

518
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: Just get help them.

519
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 4: And it was such an inspiring thing to see, like,

520
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: you know, all criminals coming out just to be a

521
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 4: part of society.

522
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: That's mad.

523
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: But I remember that time that was I think we

524
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: got into that mindset. Hey, we really doubled down, we

525
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 4: knuckled down and we just started like we've been on

526
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: the grind ever since those days, all the way up

527
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 4: the now. Bro. Yeah, the gun has never stopped. And

528
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 4: I think I think the beauty of it is the

529
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 4: honest living. I think the honest living is made a

530
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 4: made a wide impact, not only mentally and physically, but

531
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 4: spiritually as well. It's kind of helped us, yeah, you know,

532
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 4: just with utmost gratitude and humility, and you know, it's

533
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 4: just and I think a lot of Islanders here in

534
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 4: Australia like really believe that the fake cash, that bad

535
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: cash will get you out.

536
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 3: Of your dress.

537
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 4: And I think it's just you know, it's just hanging

538
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: around the wrong people, like have we always talked about

539
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 4: it and you just get told false hopes from the

540
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 4: older boys.

541
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of any successful criminal that actually

542
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: made it out? No, not yet.

543
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 4: No, it's like a false it's a false narrative. But

544
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 4: it's like it's either like everyone that's that I've ever

545
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 4: heard of, either it's still on the run or has

546
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 4: passed away, or is in jail or is injured in

547
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 4: the hospital. It's always the dark side, you know, never

548
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 4: ever anything good that comes out of it when you're

549
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 4: living that last star. And we just need to make

550
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 4: sure that you youngins know this, like because I know,

551
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 4: like they're so blinded, you know, by the money, the cars,

552
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: the women. Like remember when we were young, that's what

553
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 4: we thought, you know, Yeah, this is cool. You know,

554
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 4: that's what we need to do. It's it's not bro,

555
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 4: We're telling you, you know, we've been through it, and

556
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 4: like there's it's like, yeah, it's a roller coaster. It's

557
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: a roller coaster, you know, and it leads to more damage.

558
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 3: It's just if I could think of the richest islander

559
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: I knew when I was part of the game, if

560
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 3: I can look back now and try to see what

561
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 3: he was getting up to. Really literally it was gambling

562
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 3: and parties. Yeah, and gambling parties. And you're running away

563
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: from police and it's a never ending cycle. And a

564
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: lot of Islanders come to Australia tracing that dream of

565
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, coming an outlaw with heed some money

566
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: and it's a dead end. But it's a dead end.

567
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 4: And I think a bit of it comes from like

568
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 4: wanting to support your family, like financially as well. I

569
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: can even say that like there's a there's a little

570
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: like I don't know, like a moral ethic inside these Polynesians.

571
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: And I know like most of them just want to

572
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: support their family. Yeah.

573
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: I think they're just so blinded by the quick cash

574
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 4: and quick money. I've seen it so many times, but

575
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 4: like they want to do bad stuff to get quick

576
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 4: money to support your friends. Not only that, bro, not

577
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 4: only the island. There's hard workers in the in the

578
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: working industry. But yeah, Islanders are doing a lot of

579
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: the bad stuff on the streets. But Island is doing

580
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 4: the worst, the most heinous of crimes when the heats

581
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 4: and everything.

582
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and say, and you'd be surprised you to support

583
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: their own family. A lot of them are doing it

584
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: to support that. Yeah, So what do you say about that?

585
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 4: Like, well, does that kind of justify what they're they

586
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 4: do or nah, because we spoke about this a lot

587
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 4: like this is the problem.

588
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: But you are the most important part of your family.

589
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: Once you're out of the picture, you're either dead or

590
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 3: you're in jail, then your family becomes vulnerable for everything,

591
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: the whole family, whatever kingdom you're building, will crumble down

592
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: as soon as you're out of the picture. That is

593
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: the most important thing. That is more important than having money.

594
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 3: You can you can make half a meal and give

595
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 3: it to your family and think, yeah, fuck it, I'll

596
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: get your ten years. That ten years is gonna be help,

597
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: especially for ladies, especially for kids, people that don't know

598
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: how to handle that money. We don't know how to

599
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: handle that money. You know, what are you gonna do

600
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: with half a meal or like a meal? Yeah, I

601
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 3: truly believe in jail.

602
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 4: I truly believe that you'll never be able to be

603
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 4: satisfied if you're that rich and you're not able to

604
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 4: spend it with family.

605
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

606
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 4: Like, man, if you have if you have money and

607
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 4: you're not able to spend it with family, you're always

608
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: gonna be like chasing, chasing. I feel like I feel

609
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 4: like that's where true happiness is as well, like being

610
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 4: able to spend with family, spend on your family.

611
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 3: I feel like that's where you create memories.

612
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 4: You create memories, and then this whole life becomes like, Okay,

613
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: now I know my purpose.

614
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 3: It's serving my family and god, well yeah that's all right.

615
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 4: Like sometimes it takes so much years for these boys

616
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 4: to figure it out for themselves. Sometimes you just got
