- 0:50floods currently here in Phuket. Yeah, you're sounding like
- 0:54you're across the across the country mate.
- 0:56We're we're about to you at the moment.
- 0:59I'm an ager bro so I'm over in Thailand that's why it sounds a
- 1:02little different but no lady boys yet.
- 1:05Yeah. And then I got and then I got an
- 1:10update on. I got a dentist problem at the
- 1:13moment, so just just finished that.
- 1:15So I'll update you guys on my teeth.
- 1:17Oh my gosh. Thousands, thousands of dollars,
- 1:20bro. Yeah.
- 1:21It's a nightmare bro. Yeah.
- 1:24And then I also had a question of the week, All right, we're
- 1:29we'll get into that later on. It's a segment too.
- 1:32Yo, solid bro. So you want me, you want me to
- 1:34start off with the with the update or you want to go?
- 1:38I'll start it off, yeah. You good bro?
- 1:40So. Start it off guys.
- 1:42I just got my regular check up at the dentist the other day and
- 1:46but I didn't actually realize this but bro my I got middle
- 1:51feelings. I don't know if this is showing
- 1:53my age but did you ever get middle feelings when you were
- 1:55younger or did you always get white ones Like what 1 you can't
- 1:58see? No, I I actually do.
- 2:03I do have a I'm trying to show you from the screen here.
- 2:06I think I do have a middle like a cap.
- 2:09Yeah, bro. So he told me that apparently
- 2:12that's a real old school way of dentistry.
- 2:16And it actually the, the middle when it's like throughout the
- 2:19years because of heat expands and contracts.
- 2:23And so it's put in a crack in your, in your tooth and then it
- 2:27actually continues to make the crack bigger because it's
- 2:31expanding and contracting and, and yeah, and shrinking.
- 2:35So where I had that filling, it actually cracked my tooth heaps.
- 2:39Well, not heaps, but it made my crack bigger and then so he's
- 2:44he's actually come back now and said nothing that we need to put
- 2:46a crown on it. Just saw his.
- 2:49Checking his teeth. Now, so I mean, so I went in and
- 2:55I actually have a gripe to pick with this dentist bar.
- 2:58And it actually kind of pisses me off because I didn't realize
- 3:02how expensive it was going to be.
- 3:04And so I was just like, yeah, super, like, all good.
- 3:06And he assumed that it was going to be covered by my insurance.
- 3:09But not knowing I'm on the absolute minimal insurance you
- 3:14can get, like, bro, nothing's covered, bro.
- 3:17As to whether the physio is still $100, this is pretty much
- 3:20now I got some stuff covered, but it's just, it's very
- 3:24minimal. And then and then do you reckon
- 3:26this is off? He didn't ever tell me the total
- 3:28price, ever. And then, yeah. 100%.
- 3:32He and then I got the thing done.
- 3:34The you go for two separate things.
- 3:35So he grinded my tooth down and put the false one in.
- 3:38And then I had to come back today, which was so a week apart
- 3:42and then get get it all done. But I went to the counter and
- 3:46she's like, Oh yeah, that's $1800.
- 3:48I was like, what the fuck? Is that crazy or what?
- 3:54That's crazy. Hey bro.
- 3:56Like bro. I couldn't ridiculous bro they
- 4:00Oh, that's the first thing I do cousins.
- 4:02I always ask what's this going to be so that I know that I can
- 4:04get it covered through insurance.
- 4:06But considering that you obviously don't have top top
- 4:09tier insurance, they should bro, that's actually crazy.
- 4:12They didn't. Even so, they didn't even ask.
- 4:14You Nah, they didn't even tell. They never mentioned the price
- 4:17once to be Yeah, so. That's so off bro.
- 4:20Yeah. And so I got, I went to this
- 4:22counter and she was like, Oh yeah, that'll be 1800.
- 4:24I was like, was anyone going to tell me it was going to be that
- 4:27much? Because that's a lot of money,
- 4:29like, and it was just like, yeah, thanks for coming.
- 4:31It's just the 1800 dot. Like bro, just like whispered it
- 4:33like it was like a piece of chewing gum or something.
- 4:35Like bro. Expensive.
- 4:37So you so did you end up paying it?
- 4:39Yeah, I paid it. Yeah, I paid it.
- 4:43Oh my gosh, I would have honestly thrown a tantrum in the
- 4:46middle of I can just pay if they.
- 4:50It was off, yeah. So.
- 4:52There's. 2 feet that would last me the rest of my life.
- 4:55It's every time I eat now it's cost per wear.
- 4:57Like I got to think about, well, it's getting.
- 5:01Older. It's actually interesting bro, I
- 5:04didn't know that at all because I actually do have I I believe
- 5:07it's what you're describing the metal cap top thing in my place
- 5:10as well. It's a feeling and the only
- 5:12reason why I got it actually was because years ago when I was in
- 5:16primary the dentist put in this is actually crazy.
- 5:20So in my tooth, when I had to go get this filling redone again,
- 5:25they found a cotton bud in my tooth.
- 5:29What? That was that was covered by the
- 5:32old filly. What the So they have put the
- 5:37cotton bud on. Forgot to take it out.
- 5:39Yeah, yeah. And for 10 years I had the
- 5:44cotton bud in my tooth. God bro.
- 5:47That's. Yeah.
- 5:49Bro that's. You're like bro I wonder why it
- 5:52was my my gum was like sitting alive.
- 5:56Hey is that negligence or what? A from a dentist.
- 5:59Bro that's extra cushioning. Maybe it's because your gums
- 6:02were. Yeah, I don't know, bro, This is
- 6:05some salmon shit going on in my thing.
- 6:08I don't know, but yeah, I had that for 10 years.
- 6:10But that's kind of what you're a mum of anyway.
- 6:12So since this surgery, I they put in the middle like what I
- 6:16what I believe you're describing Cat on my tooth now, eh?
- 6:20So now you've made me piss my pants, Breakers.
- 6:24Oh bro. I'm in bloody Thailand at the
- 6:26moment and it's 30 freaking 2° here all day round.
- 6:31Yeah, fast. So that that bro, that's been my
- 6:33reason, eh? What's what's your what was your
- 6:35update? So my update, yeah, pretty
- 6:38hectic stuff at the moment. I'm actually here in Thailand.
- 6:41The reason is because I'm here for a wedding.
- 6:42It's my sister in So oh man, like that was the one
- 7:04thing everyone was scared of because the weather had been
- 7:06pretty on and off and because it's monsoon season over here.
- 7:10And this kind of segues into the situation we fell into last
- 7:14night, bro. And we flew from Samoy to Phuket
- 7:18yesterday afternoon. And when we got here, it was OK.
- 7:23Like the weather was all right, but you could kind of see in
- 7:25clouds and all that, you know, with that, it was real overcast.
- 7:28And so it got to about 5:00 PM last night, bro.
- 7:32And we just checked in and we decided let's go get a massage
- 7:35to kind of, you know, get all the salt eggs out and whatever.
- 7:39And so we went for a massage, bro.
- 7:41An hour into the massage, obviously we, we, we had
- 7:45finished and came back to our hotel bro and our whole hotel
- 7:49was underwater. Like completely covered in water
- 7:53bro. And I'm not joking.
- 7:54Like bed, bed was underwater. Bed Your bed was underwater.
- 7:59Bro bro the room was 1/4 full. Oh bro, and you know, you know,
- 8:06that's all shit as well. It was, Yeah.
- 8:10And my bloody misses because she thinks she's a beauty queen or
- 8:14something. Princess goes, can you carry me
- 8:17everywhere? And here she is on my shoulders,
- 8:19bro, on my back. And I'm carrying it everywhere
- 8:21through this flash flood. It's like hip deep water.
- 8:25Yeah, it was, it was just below hip hips.
- 8:30Yeah, like it was just below hips and that that's on the
- 8:34road. So once we hit had like our
- 8:39massage, we decided our wood across the road like walk
- 8:43through this bloody muddy ass flood water and we'll just go
- 8:47have some dinner. So by the time we had gone back
- 8:49to our hotel room, it was 2 hours later.
- 8:53And what what we didn't realize was our hotel is actually so
- 8:58this is the main road like say, you know, level and our hotel
- 9:02Rd. was 10 meters below because so the whole place flooded.
- 9:09But those several engineers are shocking.
- 9:17Oh man. And but luckily the staff at
- 9:20this hotel, absolute goats. They saved everyone's luggage.
- 9:25They literally ran into everyone's room and they
- 9:27obviously had spare keys, ran and grabbed everyone's luggage,
- 9:30bro. Like our phones, laptops, like
- 9:33everything you could think of, headphones, like thousands of
- 9:36dollars, like worth of stuff. They just literally grabbed it
- 9:39all, threw it all in our bags and just pulled all these bags
- 9:42out bro, just before the flood hit.
- 9:46So they saved everything bro. So I didn't like lose anything
- 9:49or anything like that. Didn't lose our passports.
- 9:51Like bro, they'll absolutely go say because you were attending
- 9:54for our passport. Yeah, that's the most scary.
- 9:56Thing Yeah, yeah, it was meant. So there we are at like 9:00 PM
- 10:01bro, trying to figure out OK, what are we going to do?
- 10:04You know, like we're going to have to find a new place to go
- 10:06and stay. And so we get, we ended up
- 10:09booking a hotel at like 9:00 PM last night and I kind of ruined
- 10:13the plans because we were supposed to go to the Muay Thai
- 10:15flights and stuff last night. And, but it was all good.
- 10:18Like you did. The good thing is that these
- 10:20four of us here, Luke, Chelsea, myself and Hanalei, and no one
- 10:24was stressed in the embryo. We're just like, oh, you're shit
- 10:26all good. Like the worst thing that could
- 10:28happen is that we just have to find a place to go stay.
- 10:30And so we, we ended up booking a place.
- 10:31So we're still here. Apparently it's supposed to be
- 10:34like a really crap day today, but it's actually been all
- 10:36right. So we're down at the beach today
- 10:39drinking some coconuts, bro. So yeah, that's my update.
- 10:41And that's hey, flashlights, not letting it ruin our holiday.
- 10:46Hey in. An hour as well?
- 10:47That's crazy. Right, Yeah.
- 10:50It was like, I'm not joking. We we literally dropped that
- 10:53stuff off, walked out and then of our hotel room, but you could
- 10:57see everything. You could see the roads, the
- 10:59rest, like everything you could see.
- 11:00It was all that would have ruined them straight.
- 11:02Away. Yeah, no.
- 11:07Stressed now? Well bro my partner posted up on
- 11:11a TikTok cut the the similar video to what I posted of that
- 11:15guy, you know, floating down I think.
- 11:17But she's got over like 130,000 views on the TikTok game.
- 11:21Oh. Does she?
- 11:21Going like on that thing. Yeah, yeah, like pretty crazy.
- 11:25Yeah, yeah. So blowing up.
- 11:27Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. So that's been our our trip so
- 11:32far, but it's been unreal, bro. Like we're loving today.
- 11:35Maine, Yeah, it'll be good just to get away from work anyway.
- 11:39Yeah, yeah, yeah. But back into work one more week
- 11:42and then back on my legs, right. All right.
- 11:44So question of the week, something that I thought of
- 11:48while we're kind of being over in Thailand and considering that
- 11:53there was just a flash flood last night here.
- 11:55The question I have for you bro is what are aspects of your life
- 11:58that would be completely different if you didn't have a
- 12:01partner? Yeah, Baron, I showed.
- 12:05I'll just be miss way messier. Like, oh, oh, bro, growing up,
- 12:09my my whole family could tell you I was messy.
- 12:12Like, yeah, I was messy, but everything was on the ground,
- 12:16all my clothes on the ground. And but I've never cleaned my
- 12:21room really. As I got older and you know,
- 12:24probably 18 plus and I had had moved out of home and stuff.
- 12:28And you realize, like when people start coming over, you
- 12:31realize like girls might be coming into your room or
- 12:33whatever. You realize, like it needs to be
- 12:34presentable. Otherwise, again, no one's going
- 12:36to like me kind of thing. So that's when I started fixing
- 12:39my room up and but but my missus, like I'm not even clean
- 12:45still, but she's made me way cleaner.
- 12:47And that I straight away think that, yeah, that straight away,
- 12:52'cause if it's not. How long, how long do you reckon
- 12:55it it took into the relationship for for you to really start
- 12:59picking up the game then? She didn't really start
- 13:03enforcing it until like a year end 'cause like she must just, I
- 13:07would always try and press her and stuff and just like keep my
- 13:09stuff clean. But I feel like, yeah, the
- 13:13warden came out after a year and it was like.
- 13:18Yeah, that sounds like what's that movie Shawshank?
- 13:26Yeah. Shawshank.
- 13:27Yeah. Or any of those war ones.
- 13:30Longest yard, maybe. Yeah.
- 13:34But yeah, I'll tell you, I'll say cleaning probably.
- 13:37Yeah. Anything at the top of my head?
- 13:38What about you? So my one while I've been here
- 13:43is just like going to Southeast Asia, you learn pretty quickly
- 13:46that like, and everyone uses Bali as the prime example, that
- 13:51Bali belly. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 13:52And and I have to agree with you first and foremost, definitely
- 13:55like being more tidy and clean. But while we've been here in in
- 13:59Thailand, my message has got me like like on the probiotics
- 14:05heavy as a. What's a What's probiotic?
- 14:09So these antibiotics, I mean, these probiotics, antibiotics is
- 14:12a thing now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 14:15That's a class of probiotics. So like anti antibiotics kills,
- 14:19you know, like an infection or something.
- 14:21But the probiotics brings in like good, good enzymes, good.
- 14:25You know what, I don't know, I'm not going to say cells because
- 14:27it's not, but yeah, it just brings in good bacteria into the
- 14:30body. And literally since since we've
- 14:34been here, she's been like she's been giving me a pill every
- 14:37single day. And she's also been making me
- 14:39drink like 2 probiotic drinks every single day to complete.
- 14:43Well, because when we went to Bali at the beginning of the
- 14:45year, bro, we got ruined day, like absolutely ruined.
- 14:50And her, her stomach lining was ruined like for this whole year.
- 14:54It's been terrible. And anyway, she yeah, so since
- 14:57she's been on these probiotics, say she's like her guts all good
- 15:02now and stuff like that. But yeah, so because of her on
- 15:05this ship, she's she's just scared to get sick.
- 15:08And I'm I am too, to be fair. So.
- 15:11Bro, when you said there was, it was flooding bro, though that
- 15:14sewage system in Southeast Asia is non existent.
- 15:18It's all just one pretty much it.
- 15:20And so when you, when you see that that dude flooding in the
- 15:23water, I was thinking, oh, bro, he's he's floating down shit,
- 15:25St. Creek actually.
- 15:29But he actually, well, I was disgusting.
- 15:31Like it was so brown. I I don't know, I don't
- 15:35understand people very well. Like I understand well, he just
- 15:38wanted attention. You know what I mean?
- 15:40That's why he was pissing me off bro, because I was like cunt.
- 15:42You just want attention so bad right now.
- 15:45And thanks to my missus, you've gone viral.
- 15:47Yeah, literally. Yeah.
- 15:50So yeah, I don't know bro, but yeah, I'm not interested.
- 15:53But surprisingly, Jay went down to the beach today and the whole
- 15:56place was clean as like the water wasn't even.
- 15:59I don't, I don't know it's. There's, it's, there's Thailand,
- 16:02Balinesborough, they work, they're probably. 10 bucks.
- 16:06And they probably clean the whole beach.
- 16:11Yeah, I know. Well, it is very similar to Bali
- 16:13here so. But other than that, yeah, I'm
- 16:16enjoying it. Is there anything else they
- 16:17wrote that you would say your partner does or aspects of your
- 16:21life that would be different? But honestly, just off it.
- 16:26No, not really. Oh yeah, She always makes us
- 16:30have different dinners. Like if I was left to my own
- 16:33devices, I'd just cook the same. I'd have chicken and rice every
- 16:36night. And because of her, she's like,
- 16:40no, I get. I get sick of just having.
- 16:42The same thing. So bro, you have to do like I
- 16:45still try to keep it pretty similar, but we like mince,
- 16:47steak, chicken, but like every single time needs to be a little
- 16:51different variety. It's funny you say that bro
- 16:55because my partner would be similar to you.
- 16:58She used to cook pasta all the time and I had to tell her
- 17:01because that's no more of that, no more of that because I was
- 17:05passed it out completely. Yeah.
- 17:08So that would be another one for me.
- 17:11Yeah, for me it would also be. I do have another one that would
- 17:14be haircuts. Oh yeah, like.
- 17:18She she. Actually, every year since we've
- 17:22been together, my look has changed.
- 17:25Oh, character change. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
- 17:29Upgrade fucker. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 17:32Like I used to have a not like a mover.
- 17:35Like I don't even know how to describe what.
- 17:37Oh, come over when we first met. And then like the the following
- 17:41year I would have like a buzz cut.
- 17:43And then the following year I would have like long hair.
- 17:46And the following year I would yeah, just I'll go through these
- 17:49phases. And now I've got like a yeah.
- 17:52I don't even know what you call it, bro.
- 17:54It's like a no, I do not call it itself.
- 17:57Yeah. Like a burst fade.
- 17:58That's what they call it a burst fade.
- 18:01Yeah, yeah. A burst fade.
- 18:02Yeah. Yeah.
- 18:02But yeah. So haircuts she always like
- 18:05gives me an idea. I think she go for this.
- 18:07I think she go for this does. She gonna have a picture and
- 18:09she's like, I think you look good like this does.
- 18:11She yeah, yeah, sometimes, yeah. She's heavy on that central
- 18:14face, yeah. So you should get this here guy.

- 19:56the better or worse? All right, last segment for the
- 20:02day, our hot take on sports. We got a little sports.
- 20:07Clip. I don't know if we're going to
- 20:09have the clip for you guys to see, but we've seen it anyway.
- 20:12Just thought you actually showed it to me.
- 20:13What was this clip? Yeah, so the clip that came up
- 20:17on our feed, on my feed recently was the recent Las Vegas Raiders
- 20:22game. And I actually didn't know this
- 20:24bird, but off a kick off you can punt the ball, which I actually,
- 20:31yeah, which is like for me, it's now eventually it's changed the
- 20:35game of football. Like if I was every NFL team, I
- 20:39would be punting the ball. I wouldn't be kicking it off the
- 20:41tee. From, from from.
- 20:43Kickoff. Yeah, I don't that didn't make
- 20:45sense. Well, like why have they been?
- 20:48Why have bro just taupe it up in the air and then as soon as the
- 20:52group catches it of head to head like bang.
- 20:57Like bro imagine the absolute missile you could give someone
- 21:00bro. Like you could literally bomb it
- 21:03in the air so high taupey the guy doesn't know where it's
- 21:06going and then just run and horizontal in the air missile
- 21:10destroy this dude. I don't I don't understand why
- 21:13they haven't been doing that bro.
- 21:15Like what? What pissed me off?
- 21:16So my hot take is this OK? Why is it that these NFL players
- 21:21get paid millions of dollars, and I mean millions, and they
- 21:25can't even track a ball above their head?
- 21:28I do not get it, honestly. I'm.
- 21:31I am putting this out there to the NFL.
- 21:33If you want a coach, you can come to Matthew tonight and we
- 21:36will teach your boys how to win the ball every single time.
- 21:40Because now that I know that this is a thing, I'm telling
- 21:42you, bro, I would be telling my team to kick the ball, punt it
- 21:46high above your head. Yeah.
- 21:48And everyone just swarm it bro. Like just punt it because you
- 21:52need to let it bounce still. That's the only thing.
- 21:55Yeah. So yeah, I'm.
- 21:56Pretty sure you need to let it bounce so, but bro, you can, you
- 21:59can still absolutely bomb it. If it's like this game, they're
- 22:04going to let you let it bounce anyway.
- 22:07Like they're not going to catch it on the fall and you're going
- 22:09to have a chance at it. That's what pissed me off, bro,
- 22:13was the fact that these guys and the Raiders team, the in the
- 22:17special teams team, none of them except for one player was
- 22:20tracking the ball. Yeah, yeah.
- 22:22And I was like, what are you fellas doing, bro?
- 22:25Like how do you even know where the ball is if you're not going
- 22:27to look up? Yeah, bro, that's.
- 22:29I can't believe that that has been a rule all along.
- 22:32That's actually crazy. Yeah, So the fact that this is
- 22:35now a rule that's yeah, I'm telling you right now, I would
- 22:39be telling every single team, special team to start doing
- 22:42this. Check the boss, like you said,
- 22:44smash some fellas, get them out of the way.
- 22:47So that one person or two people, you can designate their
- 22:50job is to just literally, yeah, go, go for the ball.
- 22:55You know, and it's so easy to compete like just he's letting
- 22:57it bounce. So as soon as it bounce, you're
- 22:59hitting it back or as soon as he touches the ball, you're you're
- 23:02just smashing him. Like it's why were they trying
- 23:05to squat, do these little onside kicks and stuff.
- 23:08Doesn't not make sense. I'm definitely going to track
- 23:12this up as a rule. I'll do a green screen at some
- 23:15point just so that people can understand what we are talking
- 23:17about. But it's yeah, this has baffled
- 23:20me bro. So I'll take of the week.
- 23:21NFL players, you don't deserve your money, man.
