Jamie Small & George Azzi Unfiltered: Our Traumatic Upbringings, Rugby League Days, Fatherhood & The Everything Counts Movement

In this special episode of Everything Counts, hosts Jamie Small and George Azzi turn the mic on each other. No guest. Just two mates being completely raw about who they are and where they came from.George opens up about being born in Lebanon during the war, arriving in Australia in 1985, growing up in Kirioui, and the strict discipline that shaped him. Jamie shares his incredibly tough journey — parents splitting, moving constantly, his mother’s schizophrenia, running away from home at 14, and the complicated relationship with his father.The boys talk rugby league (the hits, the toughness, the camaraderie), becoming fathers, and the constant battle between being the “hard” dad who builds resilience and the mum who wants to nurture. George reflects on losing his father and his own battle with cancer, while Jamie dives deep into launching Those Ones underwear — the brand built around the “Everything Counts” philosophy as a daily reminder that every choice, every habit, and every action matters.They also touch on mental health, the power of talking shit out instead of bottling it up, faith, surrounding yourself with the right people, and knowing when to draw the line with toxic family or friends.It’s honest, emotional, funny at times, and a proper look behind the curtain at the two blokes behind the mic.Recorded and produced at The Grey Creative CaringbahSponsor Links:Those Ones Underwear - https://www.thoseones.com.au/World Gym - https://www.worldgym.com.au/gyms/macquarie-parkThe Grey - https://www.thegrey.au/
