Matthew Ridge

So I played the character.

And, you know, like, just like I said, you know, like, I'd set myself up, I'd make out, like, I was so pissed off, I was real angry, I was real this, I was real that, you know, fuck you, fuck the world, you know, like, and it worked, right?

And I knew it'd work.

Yeah.

I've seen you there working.

Mate, I've worked, I remember when...

I started that business in 2002 and we jumped out of the gate and then I got a bit cocky and then I got conned by a guy who said I'm all about integrity.

And I ended up losing a couple of million bucks back then.

That was a lot of money.

But I had that business and I was fortunate enough to own the land and stuff like that.

But I worked my tail off, man.

Fuck, I worked hard.

And then I got to the stage where...

I went down, I got, we're going to digress into the diction and all that sort of shit over here, talking about all that stuff.

So I got to a point where I was smashing gear, like I was just being just like, I was just, I was a heathen.

I was riding my bike and I was doing all that stuff.

But I knew I had to get out of town, so I got out of town.

But I left my business, like, so stupid.

I left my business with a guy who had the same issue as I did.

And I couldn't come back.
