Except the conspiracy nonsense at the end lol.
Population control bruh
what an outstanding man no bs with ant 💯💯💯👊👍😜
I'm just gald he's on our side
Sure i will do pod casts with you ant and all. Said it before.
What watch is Amt wearing?. Can't mKe it out. Is it a rolex Gmt 2 or a seiko with a nato strap.
Everyone else is pretty good but the Aussies are a Tier below 😂
I'm surprised the Aussie Government let you in with your conviction.
Great podcast but maybe some weird questions “do you hit your kids” 😂😂😂
Haha literally just put it on haha. Is that what he asked
Like ant but why didn’t u join para reg battalion it’s different from 9 para engineers p company doesn’t make u para reg it’s diff from the start but love ant and it’s unfortunate that he didn’t join reg battalion
Let the man speak. Jesus
This video just popped up on my New Feed. Whats with these comments?
How did his dad die? The way he describes it with his mum cheating, huge insurance payout, almost sounds like he was murdered by the step dad / mum.
Do you need to no every detail of the guys life!! Give it up, Thank for your service Ant 100%
Also the cuts are useless
Challege anika
Forgit to say i bet turn off 100 times first turn off was when i had ball drop and pe sitting at the chair the two testicles stick out the they snap my neck back then they shut my eyes oand my head musrve been deleted to much second was on my coiuch. Then it was another 33 in a row..that was at my old house then not been turned of.nip
Sounding like every US Marine ever justifying their existence to even bringing back up med roles in selection, petty.
What do i want as head of the osj. All my employees success and to pay out at least a million quid to each of them from the takings. And to do that every year defeating poverty.
Which might seem impossible but i think is probable
Which one. I have worked in quite a few prisons and hostels, i know most of the prison populations and have huge soft spots for them. I know why they are there and if thry did it. Have freed many because of muscarriages and wish the public would give them a break. The police asked me to do another three years. I said yes because i train them in advanced policing and the female police in police rationale, ensuring justice is dine and not an opinion. Policing is dangerous and scary. It does not mean protest at arrest is illegal. It shows innocence at times and agreed there is a need to inderstand there are many misyskes because women are more senistive and in terms of deployment, training for sergeants should be more rationale. Tje effectiveness of policing should not be affected by internal or external predudice. Ladies, know ypur emotional limits and do not abuse your authotity. They have wives. Men have been through this, be guided you wont get hit that way. Trust me.
Thank ypu grntlemen officers. And that is why ypu are either a man or a woman. You are never transgender. You can take it in role. Full stop.
Because women we cannot tell if ypu are oregnant and we are not allowed to take blind risks. The act of fornication means ypu might be and that dpoils ypur commission. Think. Shout at natire not us.
And if ypu lose the child you would sur the police...that tells us if ypu are an officer or not.
Dude literally risked his life in war but then starts to talk about how society is controlled by a few power players and we are all just sheep.
So what did you risk your life for mate??
The first
Can we get a burp counter? Maybe the most unprofessional podcast I’ve heard 😅
Nonsense . Move on !
