Speaker 1 (00:00):
We've got a bit of a hero in the studio. Ben,
Good morning, Hello, good morning, how are you well? Thank
you for context. First, you did.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Something heroic yesterday, but you're also quite prolific on social media.
You got two point seven million followers, so now everyone
is seeing this story.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Obviously, power of social media and
how it grows and the bowls. It's probably one of
the biggest stories that's gone crazy on my social media.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
So yeah, yeah, real, and how did you grow to
two point seven.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Long story short. I went over to the Super Bowl
two years ago with my son and asked Floyd Mayweather
for a photo and a security guard shrugged herself and
I called him a wife beater on social media, and
his media team reached out and said, what's all this better?
I said, you didn't get a photo, ended up taking
us to his house. Well, remember share reached this taking
us to his house. Yeah, I had to look at
(00:46):
his cars and everything, and he gave us a bit
of a shared out and yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
He gave you a full tour, Yeah, full.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Tour of his whole house and all his supercars and everything.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
So you gave him an insult and he ended up.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
That's exactly right. That's what people saying. Only you can
call someone a white beat and toy I was like,
you ready his house, looking at his cars and Floyd
Mayweather of all people. So yeah, and then that obviously
grew my followers overnight.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
So yeah, wow, and how's it all going?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Yeah, yeah, it's all right. It's just another day, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
So you feel do you feel like you have to
keep on posting to to keep everyone happy now that
you've got such a big audience.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's just what I do. You know, when my wife says,
oh you didn't post what you had for lunch today,
everyone's going to think you're dead.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I'm going to take before we eat it, so she
finds it funny.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah, she's not the biggest band, and you know what
I what I upload, but anyway that the rest of
the punters are, So that's that's all.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Yeah, well, now tell us about this story is going
to a house.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So what happened?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
What exactly happened?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, so crazy. I was just running some vehicles back
and forth to the tire shop to get them wheel
alignment and a cut of key where he's jump in
front of me and stopped in the traffic and said,
you know, it stops stuff and going. Look like they'll
chase on a dog. And I said, well, what are
you doing chase on a dog up the train lines
and they said, no, guys, just taking partos of girls
and the girls toys. So it's all right, let's go
into Actually pulled in the next driveway, jumped the fence
(02:02):
to the railway lines and this keyway he was strong
and boulders at him because he was nackd. He just
he couldn't chase him. He was out of breath. So
I said, I got so anyway, just been the training,
and you know, I chased him, put him in the
head lock, tackled him and took his keys, took his phone,
and then by this time the key he was caught
up and he was pretty irate. So he's pretty probably
lucky that I was there because if this key we
(02:23):
got hold of him. Yeah, he was here to tell
the story.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Okay, okay, so you stopped an escalation for.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Sure, for sure, and then there was another probably ten
behind him.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Again, how long did.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It take for the police to come, because you essentially
did a citizen's arrest.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I guess, yeah, yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Took that well, it felt like a long time. So
my phone fell out of my pocket at this stage,
so I actually had can I ring on your phone
once he killed in and could unlock his phone because
he was shaking. It was all sorts and we were
ran triple zero pole air was in the air and
then yeah, so then I got my phone and then
rang him again about ten minutes later and said, you know,
there's a train going past within a couple of us
(02:57):
of his. Now this guy's trying to get up, so
let's you know, were are they So they're literally just
pulling up at this stage. And then they had to
get the grinder and cut the fence to get him
through the fence. Otherwise we would have to walk up back.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Okay, were you in danger of it?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Not? No, not really. This guy didn't put up before,
you know, he was just yeah, he knew he's been bustard,
even knew he'd been caught.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
So is there a feeling like obviously you can get
on the phone, so we don't know what photos he's
got on his phone at this stage, so that'll that'll
go through the process he's been charged on.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, and then obviously you know there was a post
put up. I shared it and someone reached out to
him and said, look, this guy's you know, profile has
been put on police media website two.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Days before before he's done it.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah. Yeah. So then I said that to the police
officer too, and they going, wow, this is body unreal.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Okay, So it's like like you're sending it to the police.
Ye you're almost you're going to be an informant yea.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah, yeah, I can believe it.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So here's you that's a para social media.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Exactly what I said. Yeah, I was a little bit
worried putting it up, you know, with the all these laws.
I mean, you don't know what law you know you're
breaking or if you are, and I had stuff, you know,
I'll deal with that later. So obviously it worked and
worked in the favor of you know, like you said,
power of social media. It's unreally how it happens.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So yeah, I mean, I'm sure they would have put
the dots together eventually correct eventure.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But you were able to do it quick all.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
You know. He's obviously still in custody at this stage.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
So he's been charged with breach of privacy, so which.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Could expand obviously with what's on his phone.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, I wonder if you'll get called to court. So
he's during court on the nineteenth affair.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Well, the police did say they're going to call us
all up, so me and the keyway that was chasing
him for an interview. So so we've got to do
a statement. Sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
So yeah, and what about the girl? Did you ever
connect with the girl? Was photos?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I never? Yeah? Yeah, there was a lot of support.
I could see. There was a lot of females and
start staff and everything over there with us, so I
didn't have to go over there. You know, I didn't
need you know, she didn't know who I was. Yeah, yeah,
I didn't need it, and it needed to be another
person over there.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
I feel grateful that you've done a workout, so you
were actually stretched.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
And well later on I rang my trainer and I said, like,
I didn't do leg day today, I could chase you.
