Yo, what's going on everyone? Long time no see, I know that. No excuses. Basically, I haven't not been vlogging, I just have not found the time to get the editing done, the upload done. I haven't had a time to sit down because I've just been traveling non-stop. It has been crazy. So what you're about to see here is an Australia vlog. Next up after that will be Maldives vlog and a bit of a life update in there as well. And then right now I'm actually in Heathrow Airport and I'm just after finishing 5 days with the Alphalete team in London. We did an event, it was amazing. It was so good to catch up with everyone and plan the next couple of months. I've also got 2 new projects coming up that I'll tell you about, but they are huge. Like, they're gonna be like a series in themselves, okay? And then I'm also beginning my cut for summer, so I can't wait for that to really bring my best physique yet. So, so much things coming up, but right now this is an Australia vlog. I just wanna give you guys an update, say I appreciate the support so much. Yo, I'm not disappearing off YouTube at all.
I've been vlogging.
And I'm still absolutely in love with making videos and creating content. So enjoy the Australian vibes, then after that it's Maldives vlog, and then London, and then back to Dublin. Much love, guys, and yeah, enjoy the video. Done. Next up, you heard it here, sir. You heard it here first, people. Smart.
You heard it here, sir. You heard it here, sir. We're going to learn how to surf this week, and then also how to speak as well.
Yeah, yeah, that surfing first though, it's more important. Made it to the Gold Coast and we've a bit more success with this Airbnb. It is absolutely bang on, so I'll give you a quick little tour. This is the main living area. Got the kitchen here. It has like a blender, microwave, everything. And we just did a little bit of a food shop too, just so we'd be hitting our protein intake this week because we still got that life. Nice big table here, that's going to be a good working space. Two couches, decent balcony with a sick view out there. Very nice indeed. House comes complete with a Joey D. Hiya! And then we got my room in here, and the rooms are pretty similar, but mine has nice sexy rug off some type of animal. So we're gonna chill out now. It's like pretty late. I think it's coming up to like 8 or 9 or something. So we just did that grocery shop and hung out with Frisma, who actually lives here. He's another Australian YouTuber. He's actually from New Zealand, but he lives here. And tomorrow we've got a fun day of activities planned. See you guys then. So starting the day by picking up some new toys. Our version of toys is camera equipment. All we spend our money on for the most part is camera equipment and travel. Isn't that right, Joe?
Yeah, sometimes like prostitutes and stuff like that, crazy parties.
Yeah, you're not meant to say that online though. We picked up the new GoPro 7 Black, and then Joe also got a wrist strap there. I got one too. Go subscribe to Joe, buy his meal plans, and then maybe one day he'll be able to get the 7 Black. Hero 7 Black, that is it. And then here is my old one. This is the Hero 6 or 5 or something, so definitely looks a little bit cooler being black. Back, but I think they're the exact same size. I also got a new SD card. This was $250. It's like a quarter of the price on this, but anyways, it's worth it when you're a content creator. Memory is like such a pain. Like, I always get the largest file size on an iPhone or any of this. So yeah, weird flex, but okay. First clip on new GoPro. Say something cool. Let's go for a run. Look at that gimbal action! The main thing with the new GoPro is the stabilization, and it is absolutely crazy. Like, this is just with my hand, and it's like it's on a gimbal.
Where's the shot?
Shit, there's a shot! Boom, boom, boom! Get the shot, get the shot!
Wait there, I want to see my face.
This is sick! It's like the Avengers of YouTube. I'm also going to the Maldives straight after Australia, pretty much going to London for like 2 or 3 days, then going to Maldives. So like, it was a responsible buy. Like, I've definitely spent money on worse things. But anyways, we're going jet ski safari now. The weather is absolutely brutal, to be honest. It's like really windy. You know what, we're just gonna say that's gonna make for adventure. An adventure. What is the saying again? It's like, choppier waters make for better sailors.
What is life without the risk of death?
There you go. I'm gonna get that tattooed now. All right, jet ski safari, let's go! After a tough day jet skiing, we got a little halftime coffee break. Cheers, lad!
Yes, yes!
It's no Melbourne coffee, but she'll do.
If you have a dog, you always send your dog in.
Sacrifice the dog, I love it. Doing a hike today, Burleigh Heads Climb, and we're about 10 minutes into it. We're going off the beaten track, right? This is the danger zone. Frisbee, you mad bastard, breaking all the rules.
Follow me.
Look at this. Yeah, yeah, you didn't see nothing. Apparently we're going to a place called Cock Rock, meant to be super cool, very scenographic, very scenic, very photographic. Oh, there's definitely some balls on my YouTube channel now. You guys probably can't hear me because it's so windy. It is honestly like a hurricane, but we gotta get the shot, man. I will die for the tubes. I will freaking die for these YouTube videos. All right, you better like the damn thing. Comment down below. Is this lizard thinking about us or is it just being a lizard? Yo, this is honestly like Pokémon Wildlife Safari. This is me when I try to talk to girls in the club.
Approach gently.
That was an accurate depiction of me in the club trying to pull, or me on Love Island trying to pull. Next up on the safari is— I'm going to run around and get him. We have a turkey, people. Wow, a wild turkey. The jungle safari continues. We have seen 3 lizards, a turkey. I've been told there's koalas in the area. This is pretty much an Australian safari. Alright, so just back from one of the nicest beaches we've ever been to in our entire life. Like, I hope the footage did it justice. Like, it was like something out of a movie, complete with like a creek and a bridge to jump off. Like, next level stuff. And we also nearly died twice today because apparently that water had sharks in it, bull sharks, as that fisherman guy was telling us. And what was the other time we died? Oh yeah, yeah, at the top of Cock Rock when it was really windy. Um, like honestly, I don't know if the camera picked it up, like, but it was like gale force winds. But we got to do it for the tubes. So now we're back, uh, we're going for dinner later in this epic burger place, it's called, uh, The Pickle. But right now I'm just going to have a little snack, so it's going to be one of these protein yogurts. That's so juicy with the flash on it. I think Joe wins.
Yeah, that looks insane, don't it? It's got the brisket on the bottom, man. It's got two patties and the brisket on the bottom, man.
It's heavy.
So we went for epic burgers in this place called Z Pickle. It's like one of those like real just dirty foods, outrageous burgers. I got one called the Pablo. What'd you get?
They all got mad edgy names, like, but basically the big massive burgers like this big.
They hooked us up. It was a great meal. We got like some crazy starters. How many calories would you say in that one meal?
I would say probably over 2K in that meal alone.
All right, keep it real right here.
Into it.
All right, 9-0. Nice fucking game. Let's go. We even got a ball cam here. That sounds so wrong. It's 9.8 to Joey D. I need to get this. I actually like the video for our attempt. Oh babe, yeah! I'm not going to lie, he won the first. Not going to act all great. We're both still useless at basketball. Like, oh yeah baby! Who is ready for a road trip?
Fucking ready, boy.
All right, let's do a poll. Do these sunglasses suit me better or change?
I was just trying to see how these look through. Yeah, better than your— cuz It's not always the outside.
Oh mate, already before you put them on, you're all going skiing, mate. You look like a ski instructor.
No, no, you guys don't understand the fashion down under.
That is no way the fashion.
No, no, no. Now compare the lens. It's about the quality, not the way it looks. No, no, put those on.
Try to look at the phone through them. You can't even see it, man.
Put them on, put them on. Tell me that it's nice.
Like, it's subtle.
He looks like a fucking sick cunt. He looks like trailer trash, bro.
You guys got no idea.
You look like Kenny Rogers or Kenny Pyrus.
That's That's it. In 2 years you guys will be wearing these, right?
Yeah, right. We are going on a road trip to Byron Bay today. It's meant to be one of the most scenic places in all of Australia. Sit back, relax, enjoy the vlog. We are trying out these mini bitch cans. It's going to be the same liquid going into my mouth, but like there's just a part of me that feels weird. It's part of me that likes the big can in my hand, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I know what you mean, man.
So to start off the Byron trip, me and Joe pulling out our cameras to vlog this beautiful walkway that we're doing, right? And literally when I'm taking out my camera, it flies out of my side pocket at the back, falls down there, and watch it literally like a rock just tumble all the way down to the very bottom. So I just climbed down and got it. I can't believe it's Sony Horizons working perfectly. A bit of dirt on it, a few scratches, but that just adds character to the camera. Now we're in Byron Bay doing the lighthouse walk, and now I really appreciate my camera. So let's make a sick vlog. Joe got 26. I bitched out before 20. Come on, let's beat that smoke bastard Joe. Come on, let's go!
5 more, come on!
That's it, there we go. First workout of the day. Probably going to train properly later on. Yeah, lots of pumps, bro. That's good timing, Tommy sprinting up the stairs. Are you from Ireland? That's it, yeah. So nice to meet you. The top of the lighthouse at Byron Bay. Got these little things specifically for vlogging and taking photos, right? Screwing the camera here and on top. That is what we need. Like, we need more of that in Dublin. Like, Dublin City Council, It's a cool idea, you guys get more of this. Yeah, first go, people! Oh my God, we're naturals, we both got it on our first go, that is insane. Needs to be in a race. Just everyone go subscribe to Joey D and go unsubscribe to me. All right boys, where are we? Noosa. On the beach.
On the beach.
Pro surfers today.
We've had 5 minutes of, uh, coaching, or maybe 10. Boys are just learning this basic, uh, process to stand up and go surfing. So eyes over your shoulders, boys. Boys, here comes a wave, 5 meters away. Back foot in the air, toe up, and paddling. 3, 4, 5. Whooshka! 1, 2, chicken wings, bum up, back foot, front foot, eyes up.
Looking good.
And the Sharkers! Here comes the boys after the first session. I feel like we're gonna go pro by tomorrow.
We can barely leave our like fitness and bodybuilding sponsorships, we're now looking for surf sponsorships. It's like a little escalator, you know the ones in the airport that are flat but you still go fast around them? Yeah, that's what it's like when you get going. It's just like, it's like skiing or something. It's a really just nice sensation.
Yeah, and chatting a few of the girls up, I saw.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, off the record, cut the tape. This is our first solo one, completely on our own. Let's see how we get on. Waiting for a wave and then I'm gonna turn pro. Truly at one with nature now. Don't recommend doing that in Ireland. Absolutely perfect beach day. We just showered up, get all the sand off us. We're actually just saying there how good YouTube is to kind of make you do stuff and make you get active. Like, there'd be no way in hell that we'd be doing all those sprints and races without a camera. I know that's terrible to say, but look, it is what it is. So we're gonna say goodbye to Watagos beach. I'm definitely pronouncing that wrong. One last look at that piece of paradise. Oh my God, we haven't eaten like a proper meal all day, so we're really hungry. So we've been recommended a place called Light Years. Did you enjoy today?
Buzz Lightyear. Yeah, good day.
We're also making Frisma return to YouTube, so everyone go subscribe to him. Vlog of the Gods is on the way.
Let's get out to a mil. That's on 990K, Rob.
There you go, let's 10x it. Let's 10x it. Food time. Let's go! We're in this place called Light Years. Guy I did a podcast with the other day, Lockie, recommended. Corn crackers, yes! The setting, the music, everything is bang on. Here's a look at the menu. I don't know what I'm gonna go for. It's like Asian. Light Years fried chicken, sriracha mayo lime. Okay, I picked an easy one. Shitake ginger chestnut wontons. Shitake. Kingfish ceviche. Oh, I always mess up turmeric or turmeric. That's one thing my subscribers pull me on a lot. Oh, you boys and girls keep me young. Gonna order and I'll show you what we get when it arrives.
Just looks like normal pickles but kimchi flavor, so I wonder if it's the same as kimchi, i.e., very cold but very hot. It's Korean, it's fermented cabbage. They're doing a really spicy thing. Going on like it.
Yeah, yeah, it's just like pickles. That one's strange.
It must be beetroot. Yeah, that'll be the easiest one.
All right, cabbage.
Oh, cabbage.
Yeah, it's kind of kimchi flavor.
Sets you up for a good meal, cleanses your mouth. My order just arrived. Fried chicken looks unbelievable, kind of like calamari. Lime on the side and the dipping sauce. Then we got a healthy serving of greens here. There's like a decent amount of broccoli in there. I'm impressed. And I think there's like hoisin or hoisin, whatever it's called. See, Roisin is an Irish name and it's spelled like hoisin. So there we go, more wrong pronunciations. And then we got the rice arriving.
Yeah, that's just me. Yeah, that's plain rice.
Sums up your personality, Danny. Sick workout, done a proper good legs and abs session, hit everything, didn't skip out on sets, feel amazing afterwards. So now we just went to this place, it's like 2 minutes down the road, just some chicken teriyaki place. We all ordered 3 bowls, extra chicken sauce on the side, that's how we do it. So hopefully it's decent when it comes out. Good leg session, bro.
That was actually pretty good. I needed that.
Yeah, even though we sprinted at the beach yesterday, legs are ruined. We're being active.
We can't skip our leg days.
We're being, we're being so fit. It's actually great, I love it.
In comes the aspartame.
Yeah, give me that carcinogen water, baby. This is more nutrient shuttling here. Spike the insulin, even though it doesn't spike the insulin. People think it does. Golden doodle.
I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Max Tune will be all over that. We just wait here for the dog benefits. He's so nice.
Look at his like rig, bro.
His rig.
He's a beast. Yeah, he is a beast.
Big limbs, bro.
Max, if you're watching this, I am coming to hang out with your dog. Not you. So we got the mayo kind of on the side. Freezy just went—
I just got it all on there, baby.
Time to eat, boys.
Excuse me, mate, you're stopped in the middle of the road.
Hi, mate, do us a favor and fuck off. All right, people, so gym done, freshened up a little bit, and now to make today even better, we're gonna go in and go on a little bit of a shopping spree. There's also a barber in Culture Kings. I'm gonna go in and come out a new man. Let's go. There we go. What's going on, buddy? Well, good to meet you. How's things? What's cracking, bro? Good, good. Sick day, sick day. Alright. Here in Country Cannings, having a great old time. Nice, see, next level vibe, atmosphere, music, of course, clothes.
That's how you do it, man.
Here's where you like to end up, probably. And that will be the only shot that makes the cut. Joe, can you please explain what just happened?
I lost my shit.
And I was like, I thought it was like sick. It bounced off the corner and just went— it was like 2 seconds after the turn, it just like—
I'm so lame in Irish. So you go left and right to line it up. What's he going for? It's a brainwave. Oh, something Joey isn't sick at.
Yes, lad.
Oh my God, let's go, Libby. I got this. Okay, right, tee it off, tee it off. Yeah, yeah, it's here. Come on. Epic time at Culture Kings. And now to make the day even better, Freezy's giving us the cribs. Let's go! Holy shit, bachelor pad AF. But you are in a relationship, right? Ah, this is beautiful.
Oh, hey, I'll give you a little tour actually.
Good stuff, you man.
Yeah, teamwork.
Office in here, bro. Sick, sick.
Pretty minimalistic at the moment.
Still cool. That's who you are. You want to keep it clear to head, keep it simple. Got some Some good books going on there as well.
Cat's bathroom. Oh, he's moved the whole litter box here.
What a mad bastard. Joe's raiding the fridge.
The fountain of youth, mate. 100% free of all fluoride, chlorine, sodium, and additives.
Freezema is a bit of a conspiracy theorist and he doesn't believe we should be drinking fluoride. Does this guy drink fluoride?
He's never met an Irishman, I can tell you that. He drinks fluoride, poor little guy.
Aww.
He likes the smell of you, Rob.
That's your way of saying I smell bad or like a cat. That's true. So we're just finishing up such a good day. We had some really good conversations today. We obviously, the three of us, get along very well. We're a team now. And so we're talking today just like about every topic, and a really good topic that we started talking about was Freezema brought up about your motivation, how he kind of fell off the gym for 6 weeks and how it was even harder to get back on the wagon after that. It's kind of like the longer you've been off, the harder it is to get back on. So enlighten the viewers because it's good. We on this channel, we just talk about topics, you know, we pick a topic in the video, we go on about it. So Freeze Man, take the mic and tell us, how did you get your motivation back?
The major key to motivation and losing it is when, you know, get more distant from your why you're doing something. So when that why starts to kind of fade out, obviously when you're starting something and you're so pumped for it, like, why are you doing it? You know why you're doing it, because you're— it's going to improve your life drastically. Or then I guess the more you do it, you take it for granted, it becomes part of your life. The why, you don't think about it as much because it almost comes routine. So Rob, I'd say that you just need to always just think why you're doing something. And, and I guess sometimes if you lose motivation for something, maybe it's because the why is not strong enough. Maybe you need to go do something different.
Giving up is always an option. Well, not even, not even as a joke, like you don't have to be unnecessarily attached to something that was once your goal because you people change at a fucking rapid rate. And what may have made you happy at one point, you might discover that isn't going to make you happy. And so blindly chasing towards a goal just because you wrote it down on a piece of paper— my input from the back seat.
Let's do mine. How do I get my motivation back when it goes? Um, so I would like agree with Frisma. You remember why you started and you know what made you begin. But for me, it's like, let's say I lose motivation with like work, putting out content, or even training and going to the gym, you know, staying on top of my diet. I'm just kind of like Rob, you know that's what makes you happy. Like, you know you're going to be happier when you're on top of your shit. Like, you know, you know your happiness levels and just your satisfaction, your fulfillment isn't on point when you're not doing these things that you know you're meant to do. So oftentimes, like, I just tell myself— I'm so straight up myself though— I just tell myself, like, you know you're going to be glad you did this. So that's it, they're the car chats. There's 3 different opinions. I'm gonna wrap things up here. We're all so tired. I've after running around the beach all day. We're both on the dairy vortex, as Joe likes to call it. He's doing 2 yogurts at one time, like, that is just disgrace. I'm being responsible with one. Such an epic day today. Byron did not disappoint. We're very proud of ourselves for doing a successful day trip and being productive as well. See you in the next vlog. Keep it real. Peace.
