on like milk containers or something.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Let's do it. Whenever I am a little bit yeah,
which has been a bit different for me and what
I'm used to. I've actually got an article coming out

you're just You're just doing it to get in the calendar,
blah blah blah, all that sort of stuff, and I
was like, no, I'm not doing that. This is what
I want to do. It's what I love. And then yeah,
the calendar hit me up about a month or two
(04:49):
months into the job and said are you interested in
being in the calendar? You'd be perfect for it, and
I said, yeah, why not, gave it a crack and
here we are.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
However, how much training and shredding did you have to
do for the shoot, like when you know that it's
coming up.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
To be honest, I'm pretty active all year, so I
sort of keep in shape with everything I do, but
definitely cut out the doughnuts and the beer around the
count of time and hit the way it's hard.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Well, what do you hope for out of this?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Oh, honestly, I don't know. I'm just enjoying the wave,
riding the wave and see what happens.
