0:53
And on top of that, we're going to be getting into a question
0:56
from flat chats. Yep, and then we'll follow that
0:58
with best video games from our lives.
1:02
We've played a few, so we should have some good experience.
1:04
On that, we've played a lot actually.
1:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, getting into all of
1:08
that, man, brother. Weekly wrap up, man.
1:11
Yeah, so my weekly kind of update is of of starting a new
1:16
job. So bro yeah, leaving leaving my
1:19
current job. Congratulations brother.
1:21
Just pretty much a new opportunity.
1:23
But I guess one thing I'll say on it, it's just like, it's so
1:29
awkward resigning. Yeah, it's so awkward.
1:32
Like I was like, kind of, yeah, it just rang my boss and I was
1:35
like, it's not. I guess it's not the best news,
1:40
but I don't know to you maybe. I don't know if you if you
1:43
really want me around. Sorry bro, I know we've got a
1:44
multi billion dollar project going on at the moment.
1:47
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry about that.
1:49
Sort of just like up and out, but.
1:52
But it really be like that, yeah.
1:54
But I'm up for now. But yeah, so I go to Europe and
1:59
then so pretty much as soon as I get back from Europe from
2:01
starting my job. Unreal.
2:02
Yeah. And I guess we've both been,
2:05
I've been through that recently as well, starting my new job.
2:07
Yeah. Which has been a bit of a change
2:10
as well from what I was used to. Yeah.
2:11
Yeah. And just just on that whole
2:14
awkwardness about telling your boss.
2:15
Yeah, right. I kind of like, I've never
2:18
really had to resign from a job before either, so it was my
2:22
first real experience of actually doing an exit interview
2:25
as well. Do you have to do that?
2:26
No, that's coming up. That's coming up for me.
2:28
Yeah. So I I had to do an exit
2:30
interview with yeah, the principal and.
2:33
You shut on them. On the Nah Nah, Nah, I just
2:35
good. I did offer those some
2:37
suggestions and. He needs to go.
2:41
He needs. To go.
2:43
It was a yes. Now I'm I'm listening.
2:45
I'm listening. But probably just, you know,
2:47
yeah. Yeah, it was.
2:48
Probably left at the door, bro. What I said it can get.
2:52
Yeah. It gets a bit awkward sometimes,
2:54
hey, because sometimes you don't know if that person is being
2:57
genuine and actually hearing the constructive feedback, you know,
3:00
that you're trying to give, You know, and, you know, at the end
3:03
of the day, you wanna make sure that you leave the job in a
3:05
better state for the person who's gonna come in and take
3:07
your role. Yeah.
3:08
And sometimes, yeah, I just don't know if they're listening
3:11
to that. Yeah, they're probably like, you
3:12
know, we've tried that. But they're low key thinking
3:14
like you're giving me all this stuff, but you're giving me more
3:17
work for me to do. Yeah, yeah.
3:18
Like, yeah. Like I'm not, I'm not going to
3:21
go sit down and have three different meetings with three
3:23
different people just because you said that you're going to
3:25
leave. Have you got any, like, just
3:28
like talking on, like leaving? Maybe we just talk, go into it a
3:31
bit. Like have you, have you got any
3:33
stories of like leaving a job? Because I have I have one.
3:36
As in. So like I've got a few.
3:39
So this one time, my first job out of uni, it was like doing
3:43
site engineering. I wasn't really into it.
3:44
I wanted to get a consultancy and so, but I'd been there and
3:48
I'd kind of be looking for other jobs.
3:50
And then they hit me up and they're like, oh, we're getting
3:54
like some cards made. We're getting new PPE like put
3:58
in your orders. And then I was putting it off
4:00
because I knew I was leaving and I knew I was leaving and I was
4:03
leaving And then the my manager rang me and he's like, mate, we
4:06
need your order. Like we're ordering the stuff
4:09
now, like otherwise you're not gonna get it.
4:12
And I was like, and he's like, I'm just gonna order you larges
4:14
for everything. Order you just your current
4:18
mobile phone on all your cards and everything and I go, Oh no,
4:21
no, don't, don't. I'm leaving.
4:25
Don't waste the money. No, there, I've heard people do
4:33
that, bro, and they've they've kind of like they've gone in or
4:37
they've, they've done like put in an order for things.
4:39
Yeah, and they've waited for the order to come in so they can
4:42
grab the gears and leave. The people do that before.
4:45
But I've been pretty lucky, bro. Like every job that I've had in
4:48
the past, I've had to leave like on the go if that makes like.
4:51
You're moving overseas. Yeah, yeah, that's why.
4:53
So I've never really had to go for a formal process, say of of
4:57
having to leave a job before. So, yeah, it's it's it's
5:01
definitely AI think for a lot of people like, because, you know,
5:04
a lot of people don't like conflict.
5:05
Yeah, yeah. And sometimes when you give an
5:07
exit interview, generally there's a reason for you
5:09
leaving. Yeah.
5:10
And so already it causes a little bit of tension, I feel.
5:12
So 100. Percent.
5:13
Yeah, It's like you don't like us.
5:15
That's why you're leaving. Yeah.
5:16
Yeah, really. Like, like there's so many
5:18
people, bro, in my previous job who asked why was I leaving?
5:23
Like thinking that it was like a real, in a way crazy decision
5:27
that I was leaving. Yeah.
5:29
And I think for, for some people, because they're very,
5:33
you know, they enjoy the job and they're set.
5:35
And I loved my job, right? Like there really was not a
5:39
reason for me to leave. It was quite literally an
5:41
opportunity to go somewhere else and experience a different
5:45
environment. And that's ultimately why I
5:47
left. But people, sometimes they
5:48
don't, they couldn't see that They thought I was leaving
5:50
because of like a a big yeah, yeah.
5:54
When really it wasn't. It was just, it was a small
5:55
reason, you know? Yeah.
5:57
But if you're thinking about it, if it was the perfect job, you
6:00
wouldn't have left. No, yeah, yeah.
6:02
So like there is like because I was thinking that as well as
6:06
like, oh man, I don't want to deal with the questions and that
6:09
kind of thing. But like, yeah, the opportunity
6:13
is better because something can your current job, you're not
6:16
getting the thing or you don't think you're getting kind of
6:18
thing. So yeah, but I, I also have
6:22
another one from when I was at high school.
6:24
I was working at Bunnings and I was casual and the they text you
6:29
for your shifts and that kind of thing.
6:30
OK. And then I just stopped getting
6:32
texts because I I turned down so many because I was always on
6:36
Sundays and I was always like hungover.
6:37
And that texted me like you came to work.
6:39
No, Hell no. And then and then I just stopped
6:44
getting text, bro. And so I never resigned and they
6:47
never fired me or anything. I think I've told.
6:49
Have I told you? No, you haven't.
6:50
So like, I could still be on the books.
6:53
They might text me tomorrow. Are you free tomorrow?
6:55
You. Have all.
6:56
Was that the one that your quarter got your job at?
6:59
Yeah, Yeah, it was true. So we worked there together.
7:02
So like, bro, but I don't know where I where I stand.
7:05
I never got fired. I never resigned.
7:07
Yeah. And so I avoided that, that hard
7:10
conversation. Thank God.
7:12
Actually, you know, it's now that you bring that up.
7:15
We did it when when Hunter and I first moved here to Oz, we
7:18
didn't have a job lined up at all.
7:20
Both of us, you know what I mean?
7:21
And so because we moved over just on a, on a pretty much on
7:24
one. Yeah, Yeah.
7:25
And so we came across this kind of like a catering security
7:32
company that does things over New Year's because we moved
7:35
during that period. Yeah, yeah.
7:36
And so we picked up a shift at the casino here, the Star
7:39
Casino. That's right, yeah.
7:40
And it was during pretty much covered man in the middle of it.
7:43
And the casino was really the only thing that was open at the
7:46
time. Yeah.
7:47
And bro, this is going back almost four years ago now.
7:51
And bro, just recently we did one shift.
7:53
That was it, bro. And just last week, I got a
7:55
message. Are you keen to work a shift?
7:57
Oh, true. And I was like, wait, what?
7:58
Yeah, it came out of nowhere, bro, are you going to do it?
8:00
Nah, hell no. That's because we didn't have
8:03
any jobs lined up. Yeah.
8:04
Yeah. But now we do kind of on this,
8:06
though, talking about jobs. I recently had a conversation
8:10
with someone and I brought it up to Hunter about it and they were
8:14
talking about that their boss got them, got them or wanted
8:18
them to work over the weekend, but their job and they're
8:22
employed and they're contracted only Monday to Friday.
8:25
Now their job is in marketing. And so I wonder like the story
8:32
is their boss, so basically who is the owner of this company and
8:37
it's a gym. They had asked this person or
8:41
they were looking at the social media and being like, why
8:43
weren't, why aren't you posting stories?
8:44
Why aren't you post, bro? There were like 100 stories up
8:46
at this point on the page, on the business page, right?
8:49
And yet there was a gap between when the Last Post and nothing
8:53
was posted of like maybe 3-4 hours Max, right?
8:57
But before all of that, bro, there was post like within half
9:00
an hour of each other, half an hour of each other, like, And
9:03
they were probably literally more than 20 posts up on their
9:06
stories. It gets a little bit too much.
9:08
Yeah. And their boss basically
9:10
complained and emailed the CEO saying this person has not been
9:14
posting as much as what we would like them to.
9:17
This is a lot of people to do. Yeah.
9:19
And expected this person to work during the weekend when they
9:22
don't even get paid for the extra hours.
9:24
Yeah. Now what's your thoughts on
9:26
that? I want to know what your take is
9:27
on that. I think it depends on the job,
9:30
to be honest. Yeah, because like my job,
9:33
although you are, my hours aren't like set for the weekend
9:36
and that kind of thing. I guess it just depends on what
9:39
impression you want to make. Like if you just want to stick
9:41
to your job and I think that you have a right to just not work on
9:45
the weekend. But if you're trying to, not
9:47
saying this person isn't trying to make a good impression, but
9:49
like if you're trying to make a good impression or trying to
9:53
take a step up to the next level, you might need to.
9:56
If you're trying to like progress your career, you might.
9:58
I think that most of the time it probably takes doing something
10:01
like that, yeah. Is it kind of crazy that like
10:03
this job is a marketing, but is it kind of crazy that they
10:06
expected this one person to do it?
10:08
Like in my head I would think I would have employed someone to
10:12
do weekend shifts as well. Yeah, if you're.
10:15
Expecting it to be in the weekend.
10:16
Obviously it's a money thing. Is she on salary or or I think?
10:21
She's on salary this person but again only contracted Monday to
10:25
Friday so not paid for extra hours.
10:27
Yeah, she doesn't have a thought then.
10:28
So I would, yeah. In my opinion, I'm kind of like,
10:31
well, employ someone part time for the weekend, then if you
10:34
really give me more money. Well, exactly.
10:35
Yeah. Yeah.
10:36
And then I'll be happy to do it. Yeah.
10:37
I don't know. Yeah.
10:40
But then, yeah, you just need to pay someone to do it on the
10:44
weekend then I think, yeah. Well, I agree, Yeah, yeah, I
10:47
don't know. Anyway, my update is kind of
10:50
again on the job. Thing is realizing how many
10:52
lights there are on the way to work now the amount of set of
10:56
lights going up the South for but it is actually insane.
11:00
I feel like I stop every 100 meters.
11:03
You can get a good run or a bad run as LA.
11:05
A terrible run in most scenarios.
11:07
And it's always when you're late that you get a bad run.
11:10
You're like, no way. Bro, so this is this is kind of
11:13
segwaying into this, this part where I wasn't running late, but
11:18
I knew I'd be just on time. But for me that's that's late.
11:21
Do you know what I mean? And as I was kind of driving up
11:25
there hitting all these lights, these like particular lights
11:28
where it has speed camera, red light cameras.
11:29
Yeah, Brian, I was coming up to this particular light and I was
11:34
going like 60 and it went orange.
11:36
And I was like, bro, do I go or do I stop?
11:39
Yeah, I just put my foot down there and just went, Brian, I
11:43
went red as I crossed the line. Yeah.
11:46
I'm. I don't know if that constitutes
11:50
a ticket or not. You'll be sweet.
11:51
I've done that. You'll be sweet.
11:53
I've. How much do you know how much
11:55
tickets are? Nah, no idea, but bro like a
11:57
Grande. Oh Nah, don't say that bro.
12:03
Apparently a speeding ticket. I think it's like jail.
12:07
I think they just changed their real.
12:08
World jail. Yeah, yeah, I don't.
12:11
Southport boat needs to change. Honestly.
12:13
It's way about all these lights being going.
12:15
Up they might pick up their your Islander and and the camera and
12:18
get you for ticket yeah. That's crazy if that actually
12:24
happens. No, wait, wait.
12:26
Yeah, Speak good words, Brian. It won't happen.
12:28
But Southport 8, the council up there or whatever in the Goldie
12:32
need to change those set of lights, man.
12:34
It's actually insane. Yeah, yeah, you get hurt bad
12:38
because that's running mind Jim as well.
12:39
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So your new job next door?
12:42
Yeah, bro, I'll be close to you. I'll be like, hey bro, I'll see
12:45
you in the office. Yeah, we're with the same
12:47
lights, yeah. I'll send some of my students
12:49
over to you. You can help our behaviour
12:51
manager. Yeah, better than me.
12:54
Yeah, I still believe in that in the strap.
12:58
All good man. General updates.
13:02
OK, next segment, flat chats. So this one is a question.
13:08
I don't even know where this came from but I saw something
13:12
going on on on socials similar to this and we had a chat about
13:15
it at flat chats. And the question is, would you
13:19
tell your mate's partner if you caught them cheating?
13:24
And it's a very controversial one, especially because we live
13:29
in a flat with two couples. So the the conversation was
13:35
interesting when we talked about it at dinner.
13:37
It actually was. It was quite.
13:39
It was quite in a way like I I kind of I when when when I gave
13:47
my answer AI think in to a sense it was a bit of a shock.
13:52
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because so basically.
13:56
Let's get into it. Let's get.
13:57
Into it. So for me, I I said I actually
14:00
would tell your partner that you cheated on her.
14:02
Yeah. And but your partner was low key
14:04
shocked that I would. Yeah.
14:06
And she turned around here reactionally and she was like,
14:07
no way you wouldn't. I said yeah, I probably would,
14:10
yeah. Not the dog and the boys, but
14:12
it's at a stage now where we're in the flat where like we're all
14:16
mates now. So it's, it's in a way like I
14:18
feel like I've also got to respect your partner.
14:21
Yeah. You know, which I always did.
14:23
Yeah. But I need a but we're, we're
14:25
we're all at a stage now where we're comfortable around each
14:27
other, you know, And so I would feel like I'm doing a disservice
14:31
too. Yeah, yeah.
14:32
You know, so I feel like I'm a little bit of a dog here too
14:35
much. But yeah bro, I I probably would
14:37
tell your partner, right? Yeah, she was like, she, she,
14:42
she would be grateful for sure. But when I, when I said my, I
14:45
was like, because I was like, hell no, I wouldn't tell.
14:48
And Hannah was like. Yeah, how dare you?
14:51
She was offended. Yeah, she's like you piece of I
14:56
was like, sorry for her. Like I just my my whole thing in
14:59
it like is especially, but honestly, it just feels like I'm
15:06
trying to get involved in something I shouldn't get
15:08
involved in. Yeah, because other people's
15:10
relationships are so opera. I don't know that's I find it
15:14
hard to give people relationship advice.
15:16
I don't think anyone probably should, but you don't know what
15:19
their people what those people's relationship is behind closed
15:23
doors. Like not saying that anyone
15:25
should accept cheating or anything, but like bro, me
15:29
trying to add my two cents in or anything like that.
15:34
I just feel like bro, that's I don't want to get even involved
15:37
in it. If if it was like bro, if it was
15:41
my mate and I didn't know and I was saw his message cheating on
15:44
him, I'll tell 100% yeah, for Oh, he's 100% easily.
15:48
But as soon as oh, bro, I don't know why.
15:53
Yeah, I just bro, I just I don't want to get involved there.
15:56
It's you guys, whoever's in that relationship with you guys, do
16:00
what you want and I'm gonna just have my my boys back.
16:04
You're. Gonna.
16:06
Honestly, honestly though, honestly, I would, I would tell
16:09
them that they should break up. Yeah, If I, if I saw them
16:12
cheating, yeah, then I'd be like, right, you can break up,
16:16
but I'm not gonna be like go force it because the other side
16:19
to that is like, OK, what do you think?
16:23
Do you think that you can just make a mistake and cheat, like
16:28
regret it and then turn back and have a good relationship?
16:30
What do you reckon that will always linger over the
16:33
relationship and. If it up, it's always going to
16:35
linger, always because there is not going to be a a moment where
16:44
where your partner won't think of that again.
16:48
No, but what if they don't know? Oh, if they don't know.
16:51
Yeah, you didn't tell them. They didn't know.
16:54
Well, we might have to ask some people there, but they have done
16:57
that calling on our segment. You've just made a segment of
17:06
the week, mate. Congratulations.
17:09
To the sheep fam, Yeah, that's a good question.
17:12
I actually, I feel like it definitely would play on that
17:15
person's conscience all the time.
17:16
Depends what kind of person you are.
17:17
Like if you can forget and move past it and you're kind of like
17:21
delusional. If you're like a real
17:23
sympathetic person and like, what do you call it?
17:25
Like when you're empathy, you're empathetic.
17:28
Empathetic. Yeah.
17:29
So I reckon if you're really you're in empath, then you're
17:35
probably not going to be able to get past it.
17:37
But if you're someone who cold hearted, yeah.
17:40
Selfish. A dog.
17:43
Yeah, or can or can just realize that, yeah, that is what I want
17:46
to do. Oh well, we'll move on and just
17:48
be better people now, like Bart. Honestly, I reckon maybe that's
17:54
all good. Like, you know.
17:58
They're that like key very that's pretty your eyes cold if
18:01
you if you. Don't do that.
18:03
But like, I don't know. OK, does it does this change?
18:08
Is this also dependent maybe? OK, think about this if
18:11
depending on the body count in your partner's head.
18:14
Nah Nah. Either way, it's the same in my
18:19
eyes anyway. I don't really.
18:21
I don't really care for body count to be honest.
18:24
Yeah, honestly. Yeah, I wonder.
18:28
Do you? Would it care?
18:29
Would it matter for you? No.
18:32
Are you saying as the friend and you saw your friend cheat?
18:37
Yeah. So if he had slept with heaps of
18:42
girls before and then you. Not saying the other way around.
18:45
Oh, she slept with her and then they get in a relationship and
18:48
then she sleeps with one more and then you.
18:50
You'd be like. It's like, Oh well.
18:53
You know you're getting there. Been there before.
18:57
Yeah, yeah. No, for me it doesn't matter.
19:00
I don't really care for body counting that.
19:02
Yeah, yeah, I'm the same. I'm the exact same.
19:04
But yeah, it's a touchy subject, but.
19:08
It's weird to talk about, especially when you're in a
19:10
relationship and you're just like, yeah, if you talk about
19:12
cheating, you're like, Oh yeah, you don't really want to be.
19:16
I don't know. Are you a part of talking about
19:18
it as well? I kind of agree with you on the
19:19
point where you don't like giving relationship advice to
19:22
people. Yeah, you know, that like, I
19:27
don't feel like that's a good thing to do as well because
19:31
you're so right behind the doors.
19:33
It's it's very different. Yeah.
19:34
You know, you you don't see the intimacy.
19:36
You don't see the quiet conversations that you have, you
19:41
know, or the talking about certain subjects that, you know,
19:44
I wouldn't talk about certain subjects with you.
19:46
Yeah. That, you know, in front of you
19:48
guys. I just wouldn't.
19:49
And that's where I kind of. Yeah, that that kind of draws
19:52
the line a little bit. When you're giving relationship
19:53
advice, you only usually hear the aside from your friend as
19:56
well, like you know, and and the everyone always over exaggerates
19:59
their side. Like, yeah, I don't know, Yeah.
20:02
I know, I know. And you know, like.
20:04
Bro, she just gets angry over nothing like but honestly I just
20:07
get home and she's like blown up.
20:08
Meanwhile you haven't done 1 tour all week.
20:11
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or like you're like Padua and.
20:14
Like. But honestly, I just turn up.
20:16
She's just angry. Like what I'm saying just
20:20
absolutely psycho bar. I don't know.
20:22
Doesn't remember any of the things he hasn't done.
20:24
Yeah, me, my on his phone as soon as he gets home.
20:26
Just like tick tock, tick tock. All girls on his tick tock.
20:31
Yeah, go to your yeah, go to your partner's Instagram feed.
20:35
Yeah, yeah, on the For You page. Yeah, that'll really show.
20:38
Really. Show, show.
20:39
Show me your explore page buddy. There's your, there's a
20:42
relationship tip right there, yeah.
20:43
That's how relationship wise. Yeah, it's interesting that way
20:48
bro. Like I just don't I the only
20:50
person I would listen to that for relationship advice always
20:53
is my parents. Yeah, that's where I would
20:56
because as I've mentioned before in the party, I've, I've had a
20:58
really good example of relationship, you know, where
21:02
others might not have that as well.
21:04
And that's where I think I would, I would take a
21:06
relationship. Because they're going to tell
21:07
you others what it's really like.
21:08
Like they actually know what it's like.
21:10
If you've been in a relationship for two years, don't even start.
21:15
But you're still in the honeymoon.
21:16
Phase but honestly don't even start like you don't understand
21:20
at all but I'm. I feel like I'm still pretty.
21:23
Yeah. Like, we're only five years.
21:24
Yeah. But like, just imagine someone
21:28
will like, one year or two years into a relationship, just try to
21:31
try to give you advice about life.
21:33
Like, I don't know, Like we, we. Never fight.
21:36
Yeah, we never fight. Shut up.
21:38
Shut up. I would argue with my little
21:41
twin if I lived with them. Yeah, Like, what do you mean it
21:44
doesn't? That that actually does my head.
21:47
And when when people say we never fight.
21:50
Yeah. You're only six months in a
21:52
relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:53
Boy. Guess what?
21:54
We fight sometimes because I'm the problem.
21:56
It's me. Like it isn't like it's a, it's
21:59
a our relationship's not working.
22:01
Sometimes I'm just evil, like sometimes I'm just trying to
22:06
start a fight to be honest. I just want to rock your
22:08
partner. Yeah, yeah.
22:09
So like. That's a thing too for guys.
22:11
Eh, we actually, we actually get so much enjoyment out of rocking
22:15
our partners up. What is it bro?
22:17
Right. It's just having him say or get
22:21
angry, Yeah, it's like. Get attention, eh?
22:24
It's a way to get attention. It must be me.
22:26
Bro, because there's something that just absolutely like
22:30
tickles a spot in my back, bro, when I can just like absolutely
22:33
infuriate her. Yeah, of a little something like
22:37
I just like a tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
22:40
And then it's like, stop tipping me.
22:46
There's so much stuff that your partner would hate you guys
22:49
doing, but yeah, it's a high for us.
22:52
I don't know. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, yeah.
22:56
But. You're Shania.
23:01
It doesn't really do it as much as I do, but I see Hannah
23:04
sometimes does it to you that way.
23:06
Like you'll just try to be relaxing.
23:07
Should we try to talk? To you.
23:08
Yeah, always. Talk to you.
23:09
Talk to you always. But I'm there in our
23:11
relationship. I'm like, yeah, yeah, you're a
23:12
talker. Yeah.
23:13
See, I'm the when I come home from work or like when I've gone
23:17
from work to the gym or from to training or whatever, I want to
23:19
come home and I just want to chill.
23:20
Yeah. Yeah.
23:21
But did you see last night what we did?
23:22
No. So I walked in the house and we
23:26
left straight away. I did not want to leave the
23:29
house, all right? I wanted to stay here.
23:31
I wanted to watch my Warriors, bro.
23:33
Yeah, last night, 6 PMI told her.
23:36
I said Friday, do not book anything.
23:38
Yeah. And she kept going on to me all
23:41
day yesterday. Can we please go to the movies?
23:43
Can we please go watch Jurassic Park?
23:44
And I'm like, I don't want to watch.
23:46
Jurassic Park. It's trash.
23:47
It's. I don't wanna say.
23:49
It's trash, eh I. Don't wanna say.
23:51
We need to watch Happy Gilmore. So anyway, so we, we, yeah,
23:53
yeah. We've been talking about that
23:55
for a while, actually. Yeah.
23:57
One of us needs to get Netflix, actually.
24:00
Yeah. I, I just, she, she, she's
24:04
sometimes my partner because she didn't get it.
24:05
She didn't have a job yesterday. Yeah, for her, for her work.
24:09
So when she's at home all day, she just wants to do stuff.
24:12
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. But I've been out all day.
24:14
All day. Yeah.
24:15
Working. And then I went to the gym and
24:17
said, and I had a sauna session here.
24:18
So I was, like, relaxed when I came home.
24:20
Yeah. And then by that point I was
24:21
like, oh, my gosh, if I don't do this, I know she's gonna be so
24:24
mad at me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:25
If I say no, no, no, no, You know what I mean?
24:28
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I had to take one for the
24:31
team, Barry, and just be like, OK, fine.
24:33
And. I my movies when I saw some T
24:36
rexes Yeah get rebirthed. You know, just a tip for a
24:41
woman. Actually, I'm going to give a
24:42
relationship. With Wise.
24:43
OK, let's try to give our best advice right now off this.
24:47
OK, this is no prep. Well, this is relationship
24:49
advice for my partner and that's when I have been at work all day
24:54
and it's a Friday and the footy's on.
24:57
I just want to watch the footy, all right?
25:00
That's all I want to do. Some awareness of sports, yeah,
25:03
Like having awareness of sports. Yeah, I can second that.
25:05
So. In order for me to achieve that,
25:08
I might need to print off the calendar of the Warriors season
25:11
so they make it and. Post it.
25:13
Yeah, yeah. Put it on the front door.
25:17
And be like nothing on this time, on this day, etcetera for
25:20
the whole year. Yeah.
25:22
What about you? Oh, my relationship advice that
25:27
no one asked for would be don't take telly.
25:34
Wait what? Don't telly.
25:36
Don't telly things like. Don't telly what I didn't clean.
25:39
Yeah, how many times I didn't clean?
25:41
Don't telly like how many good things you do.
25:46
Don't telly how many bad things other person does.
25:50
Like guys let's just try always do as many good things as
25:54
possible. Let's not have to just tell you
25:55
like sometimes, sometimes I didn't have time.
25:58
That's true. I had golf.
26:00
Yeah. Like that's very true, but one
26:05
thing I will say is I actually enjoyed the night, so I am
26:08
great. So it worked out.
26:09
It worked out in the end. So really, she saved.
26:11
She was a blessing that she made you do that.
26:14
Yeah. Because otherwise you would have
26:16
just been annoyed watching the Warriors lose.
26:18
Yeah, I'm mainly saying yes because I want dinner time.
26:20
Yeah, Yeah, no, I enjoyed my night so good.
26:27
Good call all. Right, cool.
26:30
We've been sidetracked a bit from the would you tell you if
26:32
your mates cheated? Oh yeah, yes, yes, I would.
26:36
I ain't telling anything. OK, the next segment we got
26:45
coming up is draft picks. So this segment we're gonna do
26:50
favorite PlayStation or Xbox games growing up and we're gonna
26:54
go Serpentine. No, we're just gonna draft pick
26:57
because we don't have more than two people.
26:59
So draft pick on who? Can you just choose anything?
27:04
Yeah, 100% yeah. These are just kind of childhood
27:07
games that we grew up one day and just absolutely fame when
27:10
we're a little addicted to the to the PlayStation, the Xbox
27:13
when our mums used to say get. Out the Xbox.
27:15
Yeah, yeah, Get out the PlayStation.
27:17
Yeah. So 100%, I guess I'll kick us
27:20
off. But my, my go to when I was a
27:22
kid and I used to actually jam this with one of my Bros, Moses,
27:25
and I'd always go to his house because I didn't really have a
27:29
PlayStation at this time. And so we'd always, I'd always
27:32
go over after our footy games and stuff, stay there for a
27:34
little bit. And it was always Smackdown
27:37
versus Raw 2007, bro. It was actually a gun game.
27:41
Bro that was one of my favorite games.
27:42
One of my friends had it. Oh, true.
27:43
JT had it, yeah. Bro I don't know what it is a it
27:46
was. Cage.
27:47
Would you go Cage or like Royal Rumble?
27:49
It's telling to sell Royal, yeah.
27:51
It's the perfect game for like 2 people.
27:53
A. Yeah, you call it.
27:54
Really was, bro. Yeah, yeah, it got to a point to
27:56
where his mum used to like quite literally be like, get off the
28:00
game. You guys have been on this all
28:02
day, haven't been outside bro and say we would have to go for
28:05
a walk and for like 5 minutes and then we'll come back and
28:08
just jam for the rest of the night and we'll do this for like
28:11
3 days straight. It was the same bro, yeah.
28:13
Bro, how good when you're Helen sell and you and you climb up
28:15
the top and then you wait for the computer to come up.
28:18
Bang the A specialty through the game through the cage bro.
28:21
Right. It was deadly, man.
28:23
I I honestly back then, I just don't know how they managed to
28:27
like make it so perfect. Yeah, yeah, like it.
28:31
It was such an addicting game, but I would honestly play it
28:34
right. Now do you know the bro John
28:36
Cena was so OPA? Yeah, I know.
28:38
Bro. And you could never throw them
28:40
out on the Royal Rumbles. Yeah, yeah.
28:42
You've always told me to always keep.
28:43
What's it like? It's like the like survivor
28:45
life, survivor life or something.
28:46
And they just like, fly back over.
28:48
You're like bro, I've just done 10 specials on you bro.
28:51
Like they their manner, like how they managed to create the the,
28:58
the athletes or the stars, WWE stars in that game.
29:01
Yeah, why can't freaking NRL do that?
29:04
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I'm watching, I'm looking
29:06
at this new NRL game and I'm like how?
29:08
They still don't look like the person.
29:10
Bro NRL game is in 1990 bro it's still got the same controls like
29:16
bro what I don't like in in rugby league game is you just
29:20
like do these ones and then go. Yeah, and you get through.
29:23
Because you like kind of when you're defensive, you're kind of
29:24
disoriented, like, oh, how do I? Yeah, like touch Machu was
29:27
basically just describing how you just run horizontally.
29:29
Yeah. And then you just turn up field
29:31
and all of a sudden you break the line.
29:32
Yeah, you break the line, bow or like throw a mess of log pass,
29:35
Yeah. And then for some reason
29:37
everyone runs past the pass and then someone just runs straight.
29:39
Through but that's what I don't understand like obviously it's
29:41
probably a money thing yeah, about how much technology, but
29:44
how can an NFL or NBA like 2K or men, how can they be such good
29:49
games and then you look in around rugby and it just looks
29:55
pixelated. Do you know what hot take I
29:56
reckon would be a mean? OK, try to think of 1 as well a
29:59
mean sports game that isn't there out yet for a touch.
30:02
I reckon touch would be a mean game A if you made it like and
30:06
you try have you have different steps you can do like ankle
30:09
break someone long ball. But I reckon a touch game would
30:12
be so mean. Straight up.
30:14
But copyright, Copyright. Yeah, we're doing that.
30:17
Trademark, trademark, trademark. But do you reckon?
30:20
That actually might be a game. They could, they could even do
30:23
it like you know how NBA2K has like WNBA.
30:27
Yeah. We could do the touch or add it
30:30
into that or something like that.
30:32
I'm thinking, have they got flag football?
30:36
Oh, that would be, that could be a little good addition to
30:38
Madinah. Edinburgh, yeah.
30:40
And in the flag football, considering us now in the
30:42
Olympics, that might be a good one.
30:44
Yeah, bro. You know, and actually like
30:45
going into detail about how to RIP the the flag off the the
30:50
side. Yeah, yeah, like a certain
30:52
specific signature control, like WWE head push triangle Y and
30:56
then come up with this signature and stuff.
30:58
Bro, that was the I'm still going back on Smackdown versus
31:00
Raw. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:01
Honestly, it was insane. Like the characters in there?
31:03
Umaga, John Cena, Batista, Rey Mysterio, The Rock.
31:06
Who was your go to? I was Triple H, same pedagree.
31:12
Yes, bro. I love the pedagogic brain, how
31:14
it could split the heads. Yeah, in the black, you know,
31:16
when the screen, but the screen, the whole screen would go red.
31:19
Yeah, like real. Quick.
31:21
Oh yeah, because. That's how you knew they.
31:22
Yeah, yeah. And the pro?
31:23
It was mean. Bro Triple H is my favorite as
31:26
well. I used to love his running high
31:28
knee that he used to do too. Oh yeah.
31:29
He would run and you push a specific control, bro.
31:32
And then he would run at his opponent and then it was like
31:34
high knee. He would jump and then it was
31:35
oh. Yes, bro, yeah, yeah, yeah,
31:37
yeah. The running high knee I'd
31:38
always. Do it, man.
31:39
And it was the best G Yeah, he was my go, too.
31:42
Yeah, it was that. It was probably that.
31:43
Triple H was mine as because he wasn't like John Cena OP but he
31:46
was like pretty good. He just, he had a cool character
31:49
too. I reckon he had one of the best
31:51
entrances too, into a game like the lights and all that that
31:55
that were involved. Yeah.
31:57
I always rated Randy Orton's Ninja say.
31:59
I have voices in my head. They talk to me, but I always
32:05
thought that was fiery, especially because you're like
32:07
this guy, bro. And I hated him.
32:10
Yeah. He played his character so well,
32:12
too. Yeah.
32:13
You know, yeah, that's, that's probably my.
32:16
And the other thing I really loved about that game, and
32:18
obviously they've done it every year since, is how you can
32:20
create your own entrance. So you're playing entrance.
32:23
Yeah. Yeah, bro, I used to go ham and
32:25
all the fireworks. Yeah, he's very interested in
32:29
specific lights. Yeah.
32:30
Who was that was who's the Batista aid used to do that?
32:35
Yeah. That was fire.
32:36
That was fire. Yeah.
32:38
Yeah. No, he was, it was a gumbo.
32:40
It was, it was such a good game. So that would be my first pick.
32:42
I'd go, yeah, Smackdown versus Raw 2007, man.
32:45
Yeah, that was fire. There's only Smackdown versus
32:47
RAW as well. A or was because no, because
32:51
it's 2. K now, yeah, yeah.
32:54
Yeah, I'm. Not sure bro.
32:55
I'm not sure, but the other thing too, the characters today
32:59
aren't like the characters back then.
33:01
Yeah, bro. That's the thing that gets me,
33:02
bro. And like, not, not saying,
33:04
saying any disrespect, but you just, you knew what you're
33:08
getting with those types of players, bro, back then.
33:10
And that's what I, that's what I love.
33:12
That's what I love. So for me, Smackdown versus Raw
33:14
2007, that's yeah, childhood memory, good memories, man.
33:18
And yeah, long nights. Yeah, long nights, yeah.
33:22
So my first pick, bro, is gonna be the old faithful NBA 2K, and
33:26
specifically the NBA 2K13. Yeah, so that was that was the
33:30
one with Durant, D Rose and Blake Griffin on it.
33:34
Yeah, but it was produced by Jay-Z.
33:37
True. Oh yes.
33:38
Yeah, bro. So I had a mean sound
33:39
soundtrack. The soundtrack was fire, bro.
33:42
And the other thing I liked about it is because like,
33:46
obviously you have a whole run of like rookies and stuff that
33:49
come in that rookie class was like AD Lillard first they have
33:54
Harrison Barnes like all these all these like young gun players
33:58
and like you could just start them off as a rookie and then
34:01
work your way through two Ki was wondering for you, did you ever
34:06
how would you play 2K if you were just by yourself?
34:10
Would you go my career? Would you go like GM mode?
34:12
Would you go just exhibition matches online?
34:15
I would never play exhibition matches online.
34:17
I never played online. Oh, yeah, That was the thing.
34:19
Yeah. I always remember when I had two
34:22
K It was always my career or GM. Always, yeah.
34:26
But yeah, I think I played more my career than I did the GM.
34:30
Yeah. So what about you?
34:31
I love GMA. Yeah, dude, I love, like making
34:34
a team, and especially like making a mud team like the
34:37
Hornets. Yeah.
34:37
And I'd be like, hey, I've seen a trade away, Gozart and this
34:41
and I can get a first pick and then I'll do go through the
34:44
draft real well and I'll get my players.
34:46
You know, one thing I still don't actually understand is,
34:49
you know when you used to make the trades?
34:50
Yeah. And it'll be like, you get back
34:52
paid for this if you sent this player to here like it was, I
34:55
can't remember what it was called, bro, but they would have
34:59
different contracts that you could send a player or trade a
35:02
player into the team. And it was like, but it would,
35:06
depending on that contract, it would impact your overall
35:09
salary. Yeah, yeah.
35:10
And so some of them you couldn't make because obviously I was
35:12
doing something skyrocketing high type of deal.
35:14
Yeah. Yeah.
35:15
But depending on the year, the contract and the clause for
35:18
example, you could actually put in like a player has an option
35:22
in year 2 or year. 3. Yeah, that would affect the.
35:25
Salary. I don't know, I.
35:26
Don't get that stuff, but that's the coolest thing about those
35:29
things as well. It teaches you a little bit
35:31
about the operations side of of yeah, trades and how that all
35:34
works as well. Yeah, that was my favorite day.
35:37
My favorite player to use there is Paul George as well.
35:40
Hey, but I had like a signature. I could just always score off it
35:43
just like pump fake, pump fake, pump fake until they bit throw
35:47
and then I just drive and absolutely posterized the
35:50
sensor. There will be some OP players
35:54
backed in, Yeah, with 99 ratings I reckon.
35:56
Yeah, Yeah, it was 99. Was there any 90?
35:59
9 that you were playing back in bro I don't think like it used
36:03
to be so hard to get a 99 rating back then and they just like
36:06
throw them out now like Shay just got a 99 rating yeah it was
36:10
just LeBron true yeah just LeBron damn but like bro he even
36:16
like LeBron years after that they didn't even give him a 99
36:19
like. Wow.
36:21
They made it too hard bro, and now they're giving bloody like
36:25
anyone bro. But not boy.
36:29
Not anyone but he's actually MVP but.
36:33
He's average, yeah. But yeah, that's my first pick.
36:37
What's your next one? My next one is a game that I
36:40
played on a regular basis. I probably clocked up days on
36:44
this game. Call of Duty Black Ops 2.
36:46
Yeah. But there were maps in there
36:48
studio, there was Nuketown in there, but it was just unreal,
36:56
unreal. And I used to play online on
36:58
that one. The story modes were pretty good
37:00
too. But I was always online.
37:02
I was an absolute fiend bro. And I always I was a sniper guy.
37:05
So and back then quickscope sniping bro was such a like
37:09
unreal thing to do. Like from Modern Warfare 1-2 and
37:13
three Black Ops one and two, you could actually quickscope.
37:16
But this day and age, bro, it's such a disgusting style of
37:21
gameplay, yeah, that it's just, it's put me off.
37:23
So after Black Ops 2, bro, it was trash, Yeah, it's been trash
37:26
ever since, you know what I mean?
37:28
Yeah. And that's when they started
37:29
going into the whole like, I can't remember what Call of Duty
37:33
it was, but like, you could fly out, fly I.
37:35
Know you when I started doing that, I was like Nah, you you
37:37
service. Probably there's other games for
37:39
that. Keep this thing traditional,
37:40
yeah, you know, keep it real. And yeah, that's the thing that
37:43
real ticked me off. But but I used to play that game
37:45
for days on in bro, days on in and and heats my mates from
37:49
school away and loved it bro, And that's where I started
37:51
learning how to. But back then there was.
37:54
That's when like trick shot trick.
37:56
Shots. Were like a massive thing yeah
37:58
and he used to see these trick shots bro how the hell did these
38:01
guys just pull that off yeah bro it was insane hey and so I used
38:04
to watch all the like famous youtubers back then yeah that's
38:08
when I was like full on addicted into and I was like like all the
38:11
phase members optic members yeah people who were just single
38:15
individual streamers in that day and bro I loved that day so ever
38:19
since then though, I've been off the game yeah.
38:22
My last one bro is 5. I had to Oh no, not last one,
38:27
the last one to two three. So my bar go Fortnite like in
38:32
lockdown bro. That's a good.
38:34
And and lockdown Fortnite was just so I played it so much eh,
38:38
when I was supposed to be working, they'd be like, Yo,
38:40

38:42
on bro you, you squat up. I was trash and I just get
38:45
carried by he's my mates. That would be on it like so
38:48
much. They had all the skins they've
38:50
been jumping up with the John works.
38:51

38:53

38:56

39:04
from it came back when we had like lockdowns here.
39:08
Yeah. And I was and I got back on it
39:10
again and I was like, man, I can see why like people are fully
39:13
into it. I feel like that was really the
39:16
IT changed the way E games were looked at too in terms of
39:20
creating individual wealth for people or an income for people,
39:24
right? People just started earning
39:27
unreal like. Streaming.
39:28
Yeah, it just took it went to another level cuz it existed
39:31
before that, but it just opened up more yeah avenues for for
39:37
streamers back then they but yeah, I rated Fortnite, bro
39:39
yeah, bro, definitely. And it's still got still around.
39:41
I don't know how the hell it's still around, but yeah anyway,
39:44

39:49
is how I got into the game. Madden O 6.
39:51
The front cover was Donovan McNabb at that time and for the
39:55
for the sea eagles or whatever it was and bro, I was full
39:59
eagles to the game. Yeah, yeah, sorry yeah, the
40:01
eagles. I said sea Eagles, but yeah,
40:04
full addicted to the game. Loved the career mode in there.
40:07
Just that's how I fell in love with the Steelers as well,
40:10
because I came across and what I'll do, bro, is like when you
40:12
change player, player, player, player.
40:14
I went through all the teams and the first one I saw, that's who
40:17
I think. And that was Troy full of mile
40:18
away. That's how I came across the
40:20
Steelers, right? And that's ever since then, bro
40:22
loved them. Yeah.
40:23
So Madden 06 man Donovan McNabb was an absolute go to the game.
40:27

40:32
with it had Vince Young on the front.
40:34
Yeah, but Donovan Mcgung, Donovan McNabb was in the
40:38
Eagles, bro, that's how I love the Eagles because they had like
40:40
Brian Restbrook, Lashawn McCoy, Deshawn Jackson.
