I became a boarding boy there and started... Yeah, as a kid, I was an absolute shithead.

My mum had hell to go through, you know what I mean?

I was picked out of...

Ross School Intermediate with like weeks to go in my form two year.

Edgewater College suspended three times in the one year I was there.

Pakuranga College, I can't even remember how many times I was suspended, but I had one deputy principal, Mrs. Thorne, absolute legend, who kept giving me a chance.

Goodness knows why.

Went to Mags, got kicked out of boarding school at Mags, but not up at school.

It's pretty hard to get kicked up up at school at Mags if you're playing first 11 or first 15, you know what I mean?

Yeah, I had a few fights within a boxing ring, did a bit of sprinting.

Boxing, I was held back by emotion, being too emotional and wanted to scrap, you know, and it's just,

the places you come from and stuff.

And then it takes a while to get over that mindset, but never really gave it the time because I got epilepsy while I was, uh, early twenties while I was boxing.

So that meant boxing went away.

Um, but then they don't have a record about that.

Right.

So I came back and had a few fights here and there, you know, have those celebrity, uh, raise some money, boxing matches, you know, be good to get another chef in there.

Right.

I think our world needs a run out.

It needs some media time after what's going on.
