Well said Chris, loved this interview

[@trevormaru45]

That's a crack up story about Walshy he was ex 2/1 and that is exactly the kind of guy he was, just totally out there, not the sharpest knife in the drawer but he was a good soldier. He was the kind of guy that would drink hard all day and night and at some stage fall asleep under the table wake up and carry on and then at 6 in the morning you would see him running down the road going for a 10km run with a sandbag. One time He had just got back from Ardmore and was in the bar with his Dacrons the orderly sergeant came in and said you can't be in here with dacrons so he stripped down naked and carried on drinking ..... sadly he passed away in Perth in the early 2000s.

Crackup story bro - sad to hear of his passing. Thank you very much for stopping by and having a listen and for leaving us a comment and sharing a memory of Walshy 🙏 💯 Apologies for the slow response. Best regards, Joe

Tena koe Joe, great podcast. You are working like a machine pumping these out! They breed them tough up the Whanganui valley. I really admire and respect the way the Māori culture look after the most vulnerable in their society and look after others in general. Ngā mihi Dave

@Jevon Radovanovich Thank you very much for the kind words and for taking some time to have a listen to our guests. Much appreciated.

[@gregradovanovich1625]

Never to late to share some aroha Joe. Thanks to Chris for sharing his journey and still giving. I heard Bill Lillicrap name mentioned. Bill still looking fit and healthy. Be great to have Bill on the pod, insight of things from his time in the regiment. Loving the pods and the burpees. Keep up the great work Joe.

[@EpichAotearoa]

Definitely never too late - Thanks so much for the kind share brother. Chris is a Top Man alright. Would love to have Bill on, I never knew him but I've heard many good things about him. You wouldn't have any contact details for him by any chance? Appreciate your kind support Greg 💯 Have an awesome day!

[@gregradovanovich1625]

Kia Ora Joe, best point of contact maybe through the Whangarei RSA, otherwise I can drop your name next time I see him at the gym. Ironically he lives not to far from me.

[@EpichAotearoa]

@@gregradovanovich1625 Feel free to mention to him about the podcast. Dropping my name to him won't help as he'll have no idea who I am 😂 and I'll try the Whangarei RSA route. Thank you mate. Apologies for the delay in replying. We're in the middle of packing up and moving down to Wellington.

[@anthonyswann9167]

Nice Chris, never forget seeing your vehicles with bullet holes. Good ole Oscar teams

[@calebalbiston8625]

Nice podcast bro, does this guy have anything else? Any tv shows or books or podcasts or anything besides Survive Aotearoa? Would love to see Willie Apiata on this podcast bro, that would be legendary. Bloody good job mate, you and Chris, keep it up.

[@EpichAotearoa]

Cheers @Caleb Albiston - Appreciate you taking some time to have a listen to Chris mate. Re: anything else - do you mean for Chris Bro? He's got his businesses that he does mate. Agree 💯 re: Willie - Will ask him, although I don't know if he's too keen to be honest. But he can only say no eh lol. Much appreciated again mate.

[@weekendwarrior405]

Choice guys, you keep pumping the content out ✌

[@steveyork341]

Another great podcast Joe and thanks to Chris for sharing his story and background. I waiting for the Loaded Hog to get a mention where I'm sure negotiation skills were honed keeping out the riff raff. Certainly not an average guy Chris. High expectations and grumpiness is more about wanting the best or doing your best. Being average is existing below the line of unrealised potential. These stories are more about us being the same or coming from similar backgrounds. The key theme and success stories shared is more about achieving more than the stereotype that is expected of us. We need to celebrate more of these successes and these podcasts is opening the curtains for the public to look into mindsets and traits of those who are far beyond of being average. Keep them coming and more locals please. 😎

[@EpichAotearoa]

Love your insights and comment here Steve - thank you brother. Agreed! Re: the locals - bloody trying mate, but they're quite hardwork currently. I did in all honesty expect that though - so continuing to reach out, annoy and harass (nicely) lol. Appreciate you brother 💯 🙏

[@anaruwatson9737]

Kiwis a well know to look after the local population and understanding there culture and seeing similarities.

[@samcraig8024]

Awesome pod cast Joe, you and your guest are truly incredible in what you do and continue to do. It would be great to hear from the Aumangua program creators on here. Or thoes who were involved in it one day and how it all come about. Keep up the good work 👍

[@EpichAotearoa]

Very kind @Sam Craig - thank you brother. Very much appreciated. Would you mind sending me a link to the program you've just mentioned? Feel free to email here: [e-mail] if you like thanks again mate.
