Is 16 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 2: that what you set out to achieve? 17 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it means that I can. I could walk back 18 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: home and hold my hat up high and not be 19 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: bossed around by my wife because when she did eleven 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: days the year before and since then, it was like 21 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: living with aunt. Literally she's just ordering me around the house. 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: She was wearing the pants. So it meant that I 23 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: got to put my business socks on and regain a 24 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: bit of dignity. Actually, it meant a lot to me, 25 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: Like I've been through such a struggle with my you know, 26 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: I look a certain way, but underneath, I've got a 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of chronic issues going on. And 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: for me, this was a chance to really try and 29 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: nurture my body. Instead of you know, preparing to get 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: as fit as I can as long as I can, 31 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: it was for me it was actually healing a lot 32 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: of stuff so I could go in there and be 33 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,839 Speaker 1: as resilient as I can get through it without breaking down. 34 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: And I guess proving to myself that I'm not done yet. 35 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: You know, I've had so many people going mate, slow down, 36 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 1: calm it down, you know, do less, do less, And 37 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: this was a chance for me not to tell myself 38 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not over yet. 39 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: Well, certainly you go through the ringer and also being 40 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: said that your show and no toe that must have hurt. 41 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Ah. Yeah, Like especially there was a little bit of 42 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: the magic editing of TV on some of those challenges, 43 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: and some of that was edited in afterwards. I think 44 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: they give a little bit of jeopardy. But yeah, some 45 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: of that that hurts when something happens and you're watching 46 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: it and it doesn't actually play out as it as 47 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: it happens. But yeah, that's it's what of you know, 48 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: along my along my journey, it's been I guess there's 49 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: an expectation because you look a certain way and there's 50 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: an expectation for you to do well. And there was 51 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure for me going into this, especially 52 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: with the wife who did so well, and I literally 53 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: when I got in day two, day three. Always you 54 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: don't see the ferocity that day to day Like I 55 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: think people watch it and they think, oh, we'll go 56 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: and do a few challenges and then we go back 57 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: and chill by the campfire. It's like it is relentless 58 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: and I wanted to tap out after two or three days. 59 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: And you know that that extra I really felt that 60 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: extra pressure and expectation, but you know, I tried to 61 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: use it and turn it into something that drove me. 62 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: You spoke quite openly about your chronic issues and your 63 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: you know, the pain that you're often in. I think 64 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 2: that probably helped a lot of people to see that 65 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: someone who looks like you can still be having pain 66 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: on the inside. It's not an easy life for anybody. 67 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I've got to grow. Put up something the 68 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: other day on Instagram and there's such a great response. 69 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: A lot of people really jubled with that. I think 70 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: a lot of people go through chronic pain, and I 71 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: don't want to use it as an excuse, but it 72 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: is part of Yeah, I look a certain way and 73 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: you wouldn't think that. And also being the chiropractor, being 74 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: that person who genuine I feel like I've always got 75 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: to be mister you can't be a chiropractor in more 76 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: pain than your patients, but so many times, honestly I 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: was because I mean a lot of my issues started 78 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: before I became a chiropractor. Doesn't mean I'm the worst 79 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: chiropractor in the world. It's really hard to actually why 80 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to treat yourself. But yeah, I think 81 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people go through this. I see them 82 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: every day, I deal with them all the time, and 83 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I'm almost a guinea pig for 84 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: a lot of what I've had to do to help 85 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: other people. I've had to try and help myself and 86 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: use that knowledge. And that's what I did going into 87 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: this course, was you know, a few months leading up 88 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: to really use all the knowledge I had to try 89 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: and build a resilient body to actually get through this 90 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: thing without falling apart. 91 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 3: The modern chiropractor as well, that's transformed into more of physiaolo. 92 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 3: They don't go around cracking necks and backs anymore. 93 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: Do they. Yeah, you still that's one of your tools. 94 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: But yeah, I spend a lot of my time it's 95 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: like going, hey, what's the cause of you issue? Usually 96 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: it's a lack of movement or the lack of good movement. 97 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: So you know, it's not so much done everything done 98 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: on the table. Let's get out into the gym area, 99 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: Let's pick up some ways. Let's get you moving healthy. 100 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: So that's what I had to do with myself. It 101 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: wasn't so much yere going away on someone's table and 102 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: fixed me. It was okay, how do we fix this 103 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: through movement? And that's one of the things that with me. 104 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: If I don't move, I feel more pain. So people 105 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: kind of think I'm maybe training through this to look 106 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: a certain way and I'm killing my body in the process. 107 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: It's not that at all. I actually need to move now. 108 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: It's from years of sport, but I need to move. 109 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: That is the best thing for the pain. He is 110 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: a regular movement. If I sit still, then I'm I'm 111 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: in more game. 112 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: And so what's next for Tim? What happens now? 113 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: Do you actually go to the army? 114 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 3: Are you fighting the Turk? Are you going to take 115 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: on the Turk. 116 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm really focused on the acting side of things, so 117 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: I'm loving that journey. There's not much happening to the 118 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: States as all shut down at the moment with the 119 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: strikes and things, but it was kind of good to 120 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: see some of these, some of the photos as they'll 121 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: come through and go okay that maybe that that'll be 122 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: mean and acting role, coving suit.
