What Happened In MELBOURNE... (Ft. Zac Perna & Joey D)

In Dublin Airport, we're about to do a huge journey to Melbourne. I think it's going to take 23 hours in total. I actually got an upgrade, really good price on this flight to Melbourne, flying business. And so the last review I did, you guys really enjoyed it, and again, I'm trying to make these travel days more interesting. It's going to be Etihad business class review, something like that. Tune in, see how we get on. I'm in the lounge now, it's so nice. We are flying to Australia. It's going to take 23 hours. Now would definitely be a good time to get an upgrade. That's exactly what I did. Got a really good last-minute deal just at the check-ins there in Dublin Airport. I'm going to be like comparing this to like the Etihad flight, uh, because that was the first time I flew business. All right, this is the second time. Got a window seat this time, which is pretty damn cool. And look at that, per beautiful morning in Dublin. I'm almost kind of sad to be leaving that, as it is my favorite place in the world. When we were going to Dubai, got a glass of champagne, but now this is, uh, we're on the straight and narrow, so I got water, a little bit more responsible. And I'm excited for this flight. I'm gonna try to stay awake and get a lot of work done. Said this before, I've written like 90% of all my ebooks and physical books on airplanes. I just find it's when I'm really productive. Can't walk to the kitchen, you can't go for a drive, can't go over like meet up with family, friends, go out to dinner, you know. So it's like you have no distractions, so you literally just like sit there and I just find I get a lot done. This is a voucher, by the way. Uh, I think Etihad wins this one, but they do have some fancy aqua, the Parma Ham. We've taken off. I got the old Diet Coke aspartame carcinogen water, you know how I do it. I'm watching The Pursuit Sudahappiness. This is the first time I've ever seen it. I know it's a classic, so I'm really excited. Closed off all the windows, so, come and check it out. So this sandwich just arrived. Looks pretty good. Gonna try avoid the crisps. Thai Coke. Sudahappiness.

I don't know where we are, but it looks as flat earthers are gonna be like, "The horizon's flat, bro." Me and Rob just did like fucking, you know, in like romantic films where people run towards each other in meadow and it's like slow-mo shit and they all bounce and then they fucking spin around. I spun Rob around because I'm like, you know, Yeah, I'm the baby spoon.

You got one bed, right? You got like one?

Yeah, yeah, there's one single.

Okay. Oh, single, nice. This is my first time seeing the apartment Joe checked in earlier today.

I can't put locks.

There you go, he's a lock picker. Oh my God! No, mate. I was driving in, I almost shed a tear, like seriously. But I'm gonna get cleaned up. And then we're gonna go, gonna get in the mix. This just looks unreal. Be good to have a party here, wouldn't it? We'll have a small get-together. Yeah. But anyways, this is the main living space. Looks sick right now in this lighting. My room is in here. Look at that view that I get to wake up to. Oh my God. Ah, Joe, this is next level. This is Joe's room. I'm pretty pissed off because he took that nice little desk that I had my eye on. He's got his own balcony.

Last time we were away together. I was in fucking Spain in this room with like no aircon whatsoever or some shit. I woke up like drowning in my own sweat and just cursed you in the middle of the night.

You've earned the desk.

I think I feel like that's fair.

This is my bathroom in here. So, right, I need to sort myself out badly. I've already booked a haircut for tomorrow. Someone called the Barbell Barber got onto me. Sick username. So I'll be getting my haircut tomorrow at 12.

Many hours later.

First full day in Australia. Just woke up, hair looks like a pineapple. I've literally been up unpacking, getting my day started. Joe is still asleep. You need to get a new morning routine, bro. I've already been up, yeah. Had 6 green teas, meditated for 40 hours, called my app developers in New Zealand. On top of all this, I've done a fast as well, and you've been lying in bed. I've also done 100 emails. Cleared my inbox.

That's just an email about fucking—

go away. So we're getting the day started. Oh my God, we are on the way to get a haircut, coffee, gym, beach, and whatever else happens, because that is just a perfect day as is. This is our first full day in Melbourne.

Apparently Melbourne, it literally has the best coffee in the world.

Yeah, I read that as well.

Actually, Europeans were like pissed off, man, because People in Rome were like, "No, you do not have the best coffee." Say the Romans were fuming.

And people in Rome were like, "We fucking do, right?" 2 years ago, 2017, that burger place with the Alpha League crew, oh my God, next level. And this street in general, I remember that donut shop, I remember all these bars down here, the pizza. You have like streets with nightclubs, this is like the food equivalent of that. Absolutely insane. Healthy burgers. Oh. If they put healthy on it, then yeah.

If you're on Aldi with Rob, he'll see something and he'll go, "Healthy burgers." So much distraction.

I just don't know how I focus on anything. I'm always like in my videos, yeah guys, don't be a mile wide and an inch deep, focus on your goals. And then I'm like, healthy burgers. Ghost discount code Lipsett. We everywhere. We Australia, we global. There's still part of me that's like the 16-year-old Rob. When I see a supplement shop, I'm like, wow. Anyways, it's cool seeing some Ghost in there. Haircut time. Before we go on with today's vlog, we are sorting out this chop with my man here.

His name's Lee.

You can find him on Instagram, blah, blah, blah, blah. Working here at Haircut.

Studio in Melbourne CBD.

If I was a barber, that would be my username as well. Like, you hold on to that username for your life. All right, I will see you in the next clip when this hair is sorted. He was so good and just like a really nice guy to chill with. And crazy, I didn't even notice, but he was working at the Alphalete booth when we were here for the fitness expo in 2017. It's crazy how the world brings these people back together. And now we're going to the gym, and me and Joe, right, talking about Joe's hair, which is a pretty regular topic for us. Like, it's something that we go— we talk about at length, no pun intended.

It is from the Bible and shit. It's like biblical shit. It's like strong and stuff, and it comes to his head.

Well, that's one explanation. Cool story, Joe. But here, when is it getting cut, and is it getting cut? Honestly, like, he was jealous of me, of like the freshness.

Obviously it's tempting, just from the perspective of like not being as much of a scruffy cunt all the time.

If you're from Ireland, UK, or Australia, you're allowed to say it. If you say cunt around Americans, they're like—

yeah, yeah, they're like—

it's like a nice term in where we come from.

So I'm gonna grow it like very long just because, fuck it, I feel like you, you just have to see what it looks like. Maybe I'll be like, oh, this is shit. Not growing it because I think it looks bad, I'm just growing it because I'm a curious motherfucker. Yeah, I'm going through life trying to satisfy my curiosity, and this is just one method.

Comment down below what you think Joe would look like with pretty much like this exact haircut, like super tight fade, obviously thin head on top. I think you'd look good, man.

I'd look like 10 years younger, man.

I gotta shave from there too. Yeah, you're like my dad. Take your son to the gym day.

Uh, we're just walking.

Sorry, right, see you in the gym. First working set of this Australia trip. Oh God, this better be a good one. This is going to set the pace. 100 kg, 220 lbs. Might go up a little bit or I might get some volume in. Either way, I'm craving a pump today, so that's what we're going to get. Come on, T-Rex arms, let's go! Easy! I got a better bench than you now, man.

So almost— that's a failure on 8 reps.

Wasn't a failure. Yeah, I'm just going to like cut it off at 5 reps. And be like, that's all he got. You win, you win.

Joe beat me by 2 reps, but I'm jet lagged, so 2 times 120 kilograms, so that's technically by 240 kilograms.

By the end of this trip, I'm gonna beat your bench press. Just putting that out there.

Put that out there. I want you to put that out there.

A little bit of healthy competition. Really feeling the love here in Melbourne. We just got hooked up with a bag of stuff. Sonny, introduce yourself to the channel. What's up guys, Hugo here, just with my two idols, man. These guys are my heroes. You're a gem and like also bigger than both of us. You need to start your own channel. We need to delete ours. Oh, no way. Okay, here, I'm gonna link in the description box. What's it called? Hugo Cram, uh, just started a couple months ago, so good on you, man. Post-workout sushi going down. Like, is there a better post-workout food? Comment down below what's your favorite post-workout food. I'm hitting my protein intake like a boss here with an assorted sashimi. Joe is just going—

oh my God, I've had a nightmare, man. The rice is in the soy, you fucked it everywhere, mate.

The trip is ruined, we might as well go home now. That's my chopstick license revoked. So we're going to eat here for a little Bib, uh, get showered, get changed, and then go St. Kilda Beach, which I haven't been in so long. So it's so good going to all these like places that I just had good memories at, so it's like nostalgic feels. So, uh, see you down the beach.

Wasn't recording, I don't think it was. Oh yeah, it weren't, it wasn't recording. Basically we just dropped like absolute fucking fire, man. Next level philosophical insight into like the universe and life, all that shit, man. But now no one's ever going to know, it's lost in the abyss of of unrecorded files because Rob didn't press record. Yeah, sorry, carry on with it.

Wouldn't be the first time. We're at the beach, it's amazing. Look at the scenes. Um, so we came from like the freezing cold in Ireland, UK, so the contrast to this is just absolutely amazing. So we're very happy guys right now, even though I forgot a towel. I'm just like at one with the sand now.

I was getting to it, man, it gets cozy.

Yeah, it's actually, um, it's exfoliating us. So we're gonna get some tan here, and then we're thinking we might go like shopping, grocery shopping or something later.

Grocery shopping is one of my favorite pastimes.

It is, yeah, yeah. Grocery shopping and gym, which is one thing— two things we have in common.

I love saying groceries as well, you know? Like, when I'm around, like, Canadians or Americans, they automatically just say groceries.

Yeah.

And I feel like a proper, like, charlatan, man. I feel like a proper fake.

You're sham. Yeah, yeah.

Like, yeah, do you want to go to the grocery store?

Yeah, yeah. Like, when I title my YouTube videos, like, grocery hauls, it's like everyone's like, what is this? It's Saturday night, but we got this meetup And like, we think there's a lot of people going to go. Yeah, like a lot of people are like coming up to us here and being like, hey, what's up, you know, look fit, which is like we're so grateful for. So we don't want to be hungover for that, like that would just be dreadful. So I think we're just going to take it easy tonight.

Rob keeps saying he doesn't think we're going to be hungover. Not once has anyone mentioned going out. So in the back of Rob's mind, he's like, right, yeah, it's just, it's just, just continuous, like, yeah, we're not going to be hungover. What are the chances, man? It's probably not going to happen.

He's worried about the monster inside, man.

Yeah, he's worried about it getting out. Don't worry, I'll keep it under control.

Yo, I don't think I've actually like told you to go subscribe to Joe in like 2 years. Yeah, so like you should go subscribe to Joe, just if you want, man.

You don't even have to.

Link's in the description box.

Yeah, thanks everyone.

So to make today even better, we're doing what we love most, and that is going grocery shopping for high protein goods in a different country. It's like this game we play, it's called Keep the Gains. Yeah, it's called Keep the Gains and Make More of Them. This is so delusional.

Make up games.

Other games include, uh, Hey Joe! You know what do you think our step's on today? No one knows we're going to Coles. Sweet this is how you get injured on holidays. This is how you go full Callum Von Moger.

Hey hold on look—

no no no no 1 hour later... Okay so quick grocery haul or I wouldn't even call it a haul it would actually be disrespectful for me to call it a haul okay few little pickups. That we got for the apartment. 20 yogurt, and if yogurt is rule of thumb, yogurt says fit and protein on it, you get like 4 of them. And an extra big tub as well. We got this, macros in this are absolutely insane. 8 protein, a gram of fat. That is unreal. So I got 2 packs of them. Got some Granny Smith apples just in honor of Max Tuning. Wish you were here, bro. And then we got 2 kind of more just like pure chicken breasts Shredded peri-peri. Hopefully I end up shredded peri-peri. And then just some roast chicken, strawberries, almond milk for protein shakes, and then the ultimate hipster health buzz, kombucha tea. So that's it. Gonna put them in the fridge, and then we are gonna go out for dinner. We were gonna like order in, eat in, but it's Saturday night in Melbourne, and like, look at that. Like, look at that backdrop right there. So, you know, we're not gonna go mad. Like, we have that meetup tomorrow, we're gonna be fresh for that. Travis looking at me like Rob's gonna get sucked into the vortex.

Yeah, we're gonna part ways at like midnight or something, then I'm gonna knock on Rob's room at like 10 AM or something.

I'm just gonna go, "Hey, uh, you okay, lads?" The Ireland-England match is on at 4 AM time, so get out of my room, my apartment. I'm such a dick. Uh, yeah, so the Ireland-England match is on 4 AM. So I don't know, we're gonna have to make a decision. But anyways, see you at dinner. Update, we're going for a slick walk around Chapel Street, which is kind of like the main going out street. Then jet lag just kicked in and hit us. We had a lovely meal, then we're like, we're gonna come back here, chill out, and be fresh for the meetup tomorrow. Joe's gone to sleep. I'm about to pass out now. Love you guys. See you tomorrow for another epic day in Melbourne. Hope you enjoyed. Peace. All right, good morning everyone. Welcome to today's vlog. Joe's just shown me the ruthless start to his LA vlog workflow, man.

Look at that.

Look at this content creator right here. This is an artist at work. So the plan is now we're going to probably get coffee, try stay fasted because our life is one big fast.

Nah, I'm going to have protein in the morning, man. Oh, I'm doing it, man. I've got to get big, man. There's no, there's no other way, man.

All right, um, we're stacking on fasting now. We're going to meet Zach at Purna, which is another brilliant YouTuber who lives nearby, so it'd be a shame for us not to collab. We're going to get a ruthless workout in at Doherty's Brunswick So we're in the City Gym yesterday, Brunswick. Zach literally said it makes you look 3 times as big and 5 times as lean. So no matter how far away it is, I'm going there. I need that in my life. I need that lighting to like follow me around. And then we're gonna eat afterwards, and then the meetup is at 4 PM. So if you ask me, that is a sick lineup for a sick day. So give video a thumbs up and let's get into it.

Can we do a poll on your Instagram?

Yeah, on my Instagram or YouTube?

YouTube. I never say like like my video. I wanna know, like, if you weren't gonna like the video anyway, but then I reminded you, just like the video, how many of you are likely to like forget anyway or not do it anyway? Like, all of you who would— who liked it because you were reminded to, comment down below.

Now we got the comments and the likes. Yes, yes. Now I personally, like, even if I like, like someone's video, I'll forget to like it until they say in the video. Maybe I'm just silly though. I'm the same. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm such a happy liker.

Like I like— when you're on YouTube, you're like, fuck, like, just help this, just help, man. Sometimes, like, even if I just, like, if I don't really like the video but I just like the person, like, same, I'll always like it.

And even on Instagram, like, if you upload like a shit pic, rare, don't worry.

If it's like a person that I'm just like getting a bad vibe off, or I feel like I have some kind of like negative feelings towards this guy, I like test myself by like liking the video.

Yeah, same.

I'm like, you know what, Fucking right above it, look.

Yeah, yeah, I'm like, I'm like, yeah, yeah.

And then I feel like mega mature.

Yeah, you're a grown-up. Yeah, sometimes like I'll like a video like that and I'll be like, maybe he's going through a hard time. All right, guys, yeah, we're great. All right, enjoy the video, like it, like that shit, like it. Let's go out to the box, drink a protein shake. We worked too damn hard. Too damn long to not drink our protein shakes out the balcony in Melbourne. What a city. Let's get into it. All right, lads, we have arrived at Dardy's Gym. It looks epic. Looks like Gold's Gym Venice, which is one of my favorite gyms in the world. So first time training here, which, you know, I love doing, just trying out new gyms. I'm about to meet the boy Zachary here. Let's go inside and have an epic session. Yo, people, so we have the one and only Zachary right here. If you don't know him, get to know him. So we're going to be training today in this epic gym. It would be rude not to meet up with this fella when we're in Melbourne. So we're gonna have an epic session and then we're doing the meetup at 4 PM. This is going to be an epic day. You got to give the video a thumbs up for that. And let's hit it. What's up, big fella? What's cracking? Oh mate, so good to see you.

So good to see you.

Come on, let's go, let's go, come on! Savage, mate. Right, boys and girls, epic session. That gym, you were not lying when you said the lighting is like out of this world. It's actually, it's illegal, like it is. We are going to go get some food, want something high protein like barbecue. So we're going to decide, we're gonna hop in Zach's sick whip and make a move. Zach is the, uh, local celeb here in Australia, so we're just mere mortals in his presents. I went for the classic burrito bowl. Wonder how this will rate against Chipotle. Omítang Motel. Joe went full-on bulk mode, and Zach is just on his way out now. We're so hungry, haven't eaten much all day, and then we got the meetup, so we're gonna fuel up. The fattest burrito in town.

Oh, nice, good weight to it.

Take some curls with it. We're on the way to the meetup now, uh, this is always a tense moment. Well, sorry, tense, but you're like, is anyone gonna show up? What's it gonna be like? We haven't even been to location yet, like, hoping there's a little bit of shade. I haven't sorted a videographer to get footage for me, but hopefully we'll all just kind of share a little bit of footage. Come on, guys!

Take some of your AdSense. Take some of mine, mate.

Boys and girls, big announcement! Matt DeMarco is doing Summer Striding 2019! Get ready for next level physique! Bring it on, June!

So Rob, thoughts on how it went?

Epic, man. Yeah, just good chats and it's good to meet people that watch the vids. My voice is gone. Yeah, yeah, cooked it. Yeah, straight off the bone.

Toy's voice box off the bone. It's ideal for the rest of my holiday, man. No more Rob Lipsett saying shit, man.

Yeah, this was our voice hypertrophy day and we killed it.

Overloaded, man.

Yeah, we did drop sets. It was a sick day, like, you know, in gym, meeting everyone. Yeah, stoked. Good Melbourne experience.

I feel like I've actually got real mates now. Fully genuinely though, like, do appreciate people coming down and shit. It was next level shit, man.

Doing stuff like that is better than like going to some nightclub that you've been to 20 times before and being hungover in the morning, you know? Like, that's actually— it's a lot more meaningful. So yeah, that was dope.

Again, guys, thank you for coming down, those who did. And, um, you guys know what to do. Can you give them a stay fucking massive?

Stay fucking massive, boys!

Give them a Stay massive. Stay massive. You guys heard it. Stay fucking massive. Stay massive.

Very fulfilling and productive day. Sick workout and obviously meetups. It's just like Notre Dame simulation. Like literally, you put up a story on your phone, like the piece of metal in your pocket, put up a story and then just a bunch of people in a city across the planet show up to hang out with you and like just chat away. Like it's just I don't know if it's real life, you know. It's like, do you guys ever read into simulation theory? Like, please let me know. I'm into it. I don't know about Joe. You into it? Like, no. Yeah, you're not that into it. Yeah, we, uh, we don't see eye to eye. So anyways, killed it. Yeah, more normal talk. Uh, petitas, top of ice cream here. Watch some Joe Rogan. Uh, Joe's gonna do some editing, I'm gonna do same little bit, but Blaz is gonna do some editing, and then we're gonna chill out and go to bed early. Jet lag has us going to sleep really early and kind of waking up really early. Plan for tomorrow is just going to shoot loads of content, take advantage of the sun, and mainly focus on photography tomorrow, but still gonna vlog because we vlog every day. Anyways, thanks so much for watching, guys. Hope you enjoyed the video. See you tomorrow. Keep it real.
