Oh, It was It was crazy, man.
00:00:15
Watching them do that was like that's my
00:00:19
dream. There was this jealousy, there
00:00:21
was this envy, but then almost like this
00:00:23
huge amount of pride because I've
00:00:25
I'd gone there with those guys.
00:00:27
I just couldn't figure it out. And I
00:00:29
think that's just accepting that it's
00:00:31
just it's all good because there was a
00:00:33
sport right around the corner. You've
00:00:35

00:00:43
insignia on it and with my mate and I
00:00:45
was just like chuffed ass took a knee
00:00:46
and and had a big swig. Like it was
00:00:49
Yeah, it was a real special moment. We
00:00:52
had a team sort of debrief and I
00:00:54
essentially just said to them, I was
00:00:55
like, "Hey, look, like I know I'm a lot.
00:00:58
I know I'm this personality that's, you
00:00:59
know, overbearing at times or whatever,
00:01:02
but as soon as I turned up, they not
00:01:04
only accepted me, but celebrated me as a
00:01:06
person, and it fixed me.
00:01:10
Yeah. I just Yeah.
