Before Bill Harrigan became a Rugby League Hall of Fame referee, he was standing between suicidal people and death. Before he controlled State of Origin brawls, he survived Molotov cocktails at Mount Panorama. This is the conversation that reveals the man behind the whistle.

In this raw and emotional episode, Bill shares stories he rarely tells - from the 24-hour suicide negotiation at The Gap, to the hardest door knock of his police career, to being hoisted on shoulders by 4,500 Papua New Guineans who thought they were going to kill him moments earlier.

We cover the Mount Panorama biker riots, the Mario Fenech incident that's haunted him for decades, why Ian Roberts had the best right hook in rugby league, and how a teacher forcing him to get a referee's ticket for $40 changed Australian sport forever.

Bill breaks down on mic talking about telling families their loved one jumped in front of a train. He explains why 99% of people threatening suicide don't actually want to die. And he reveals how sitting on a ledge and talking about South Sydney saved a man's life.

This isn't sanitized. This isn't corporate. This is Bill Harrigan unfiltered.

P.S. If you're one of the people Bill talked down - from Castle Road Street, The Gap, or Sydney Harbour Bridge - we'd love to hear from you. Let Bill know how you're doing.

In 2021, Danny Goler stumbled into something extraordinary. While smoking DMT, he projected a simple laser pattern onto the wall and what appeared before him wasn’t random light.

It looked like the underlying code of reality itself: a self-repeating, infinite fractal pattern strikingly similar to the Mandelbrot set.

What began as a psychedelic experiment quickly became The Discovery a glimpse, Danny believes, into the very algorithm that governs existence.

In this interview, Danny opens up about:

• The story behind The Discovery and what he actually found.

• His vision of Jesus, exactly as described in the Bible and the bigger picture that many Christians find uncomfortable.

• Why he believes the algorithm of existence runs on the Mandelbrot fractal.

• The shocking idea that we each live inside our own projection - and the only way to truly connect with another human being is through love.

• How he broke the cycle of generational trauma, healed from years of chronic pain, and what devotion really means in practice.

• Why “hell” might not be punishment at all - but simply the default state when we disconnect from love and light.

This is one of the most outrageous, mind-expanding conversations I’ve ever hosted. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just curious about consciousness, love, trauma, healing, and simulation theory - you won’t want to miss this.

📌 Watch until the end - because Danny’s revelations about Christ, karma, and love could change the way you see reality forever.
