Shandy, your silence.
Charlie, yeah!
So chairs had to do the jug.
And, yeah, I got away with it.
So, you know, respect for the manager.
Very good.
Yeah, I dodged one that day, honestly.
I think I've always believed in the human spirit and that there's good in everyone.
Not only do I think about my dad right now, but I'm thinking of people like Zach Guilford and the trials that that kid went through and how no matter what, a couple of times I publicly backed him in front of New Zealand's media with him sitting beside me.
And then the next week something else happened.
But I never gave up on him.
In the end, he moved and we moved and his life continued.
But I always felt that, you know, I just felt that was...
who I was, and I think that came from Dad.
Most humble man I've probably ever met.
I remember Dad was a teacher all his life, and he stopped teaching, did some work in education for a while, and then he landed a job at a winery in Hawke's Bay as a gardener.
Greenfinger loved it.
And he's got his golf cart, and he's driving around the winery and doing his work, and he came home one Christmas with a box of wine.
I said, oh, why did you get that, Dad?
He goes, oh, it was just, you know, they loved me there and they gave me that.
