Omg we're so quirky, get it, we did a thing? because we're millennial boomers? 2 for 2! I call that a win. We sit down and did a Q&A, talked about a recent trip to Portland of course, the spooky season that is upon us. Enjoy!
Well, this is awkward. I apologise for this very belated episode, but we're living our lives in Canada. Will this be the end? Who knows. For now, just sit back, relax and enjoy our sweet soothing voices.
Well, this is goodbye. As I'm uploading this episode I'm on my final days here in this wonderful city. So I decided to bring someone along for the last Aus episode, my beautiful wife! We reminisce on our lives in Melbourne, the things we love and miss about the place, but more importantly we discuss everything we are excited about with our new lives in Canada! Thanks for listening to this very special episode of the Mates Rates Podcast. We'll see you in a new country very soon....
Second last one in the country! Let's get into it. What do you think pyramid schemes are like now as a company? Are they like cults? Let's explore. Here's some wild takes about gentrification and getting absolutely ripped off on a $10M beach house purchase in my small hometown, do you think they think that they now own that beach? Locals probably have something to say about that. Let's finish the episode with more political hot takes but more importantly celebrating 5 years of one of the crazies...
Oh boy, one of the final episodes in Australia, that time went quickly! I'm officially 3 weeks away from moving, boxes are filled, furniture being sold, and the hellscape that is Facebook Marketplace is being explored. Speaking of Facebook, I wish I shorted the stock, I would've made so much money when the whistleblower story came out. Let's talk about the wild west that is the south coast that I grew up in, I give a small insight of what it's actually like to grow up in a small town with beauti...
Consistency is key, unless you're me and just uploads whenever he wants, but this is MY show dammit! I needed a breather so thanks for sticking with me, it's wild out there at the moment so let's talk about it. I officially have joined the cool kids club by being fully vaccinated, talk about the earthquake that shook our city, I also try a Caramilk live on air for the first time and yell at white people so all in all I find this to be a great episode! Want to enter something into the "why are yo...
Welcome back to the non existent money podcast! Sponsored by absolutely nobody. Yeah I know, another week in lockdown in Melbourne, but let's recap on everything I've been consuming online and discuss, got it? Good. Also let's talk about everyone's favourite topic, shitting your pants! Because there's nothing more entertaining than letting people know you almost soiled yourself in front of 15,000 people. TikTok has been reigning supreme at the moment, some people have taken off in their careers ...
Here's a truth bomb for you, I'm going bald, well it's probably not much of a surprise seeing as I'm an almost 30yr old white guy. What's my solution? Listen to find out. Okay what the actual hell is up with entitled rich kids begging influencers for jobs? It happened once, okay cool, but it probably won't happen again so please stop before you're all arrested and then using that as clout. Speaking of things that shouldn't exist lets talk about disgusting foods I'm finding online and why not eve...
What's up party people? Let's dive into it, I fill you in on a recent visit to the dentist and can confirm that it still totally sucks, even while avoiding it for 12 years, time to avoid it for another 12 I reckon. I talk about everyone's favourite divided topic, vaccines! I give you my hot take so you can all argue about it in the comment section to help boost my numbers. But I'll lighten the mood to tell you about my first experience at a strip club, so it's a win win for everyone. Thanks for ...
SEASON TWO BABY WE BACK! Thank you all so much for sticking with me on this ride, I'm back and ready to keep talking smack for as long as I can. You might've heard on the streets that I'm moving to Canada? Well it's true and here's all the details you need to know about that. Okay I get it I'm turning 30, I have a podcast AND I'm into crypto but so what I can pay for my coffee with my internet coins so who's the real winner in this situation? Wanna say something? Spit it out! Email me at matesra...
Hey big shot over here, make way! Okay kidding aside, I'm so so stoked to have my debut short film out. It was one hell of a process and I'd love to talk about it so listen up! And while I was on a roll with talking about it, I decided to continue on rambling about film in general. Remember, the hardest part of any goal is getting started, the second hardest part is finishing it. Rinse and repeat. Thanks for tuning in for another episode, I appreciate you all more than you can imagine....
Welcome to lockdown 4.0, the directors cut extended version! Another absolute shitshow stuck inside but hey, let's try to make the most of it shall we? Speaking of inside, you should definitely go watch Bo Burnhams new special Inside, it's amazing. Anyways, find out what I've been up to, which is not much really but let me tell you something, if someone comes up to you and says "nice tatts" it's time to book that laser appointment my friend. Also we ventured to Pancake Parlour and that place SLA...
Wow, this is an interesting episode to say the least. Why did I think it would be a good idea to get tattooed then record a podcast? Well strap in because this episode is a doozy. Look I'd normally write what I spoke about but I'll be honest I'm too spacey to remember what I talked about and I'm not a psychopath who listens to their own podcast so....enjoy? If you somehow got through this trainwreck and liked it please remember to rate it 5 stars on iTunes and if you're watching on YouTube remem...
I did it! I finally made my first short film. What a relief. The amount of stress I had going into it aged me 10 years but I did it and it'll be out very soon for you all to see. In the meantime, let's catch up on the internet shall we? So why in the hell do people still invest more than they can afford to lose, let's talk about the guy who built a $500M house and now is looking at losing it because he can't pay the banks back, great. Speaking of being poor, I tell a story about one of my failed...
Well, yikes. I made a hot take and it absolutely blew up in my face, like most things should on the internet. But also, are we really that surprised? I'm not sure what's worse either, Crypto dudes or Art snobs, so I take a deep dive into that world also. The art of trolling is still incredible, and The Chasers are showing they are still on top of their game even in a social media driven world. Speaking of social media, why is there hardly any creativity left in it anymore? Last but not least, my...
Oh he back with another episode! Who is he!? Alright so it's been a minute, but honestly not a lot has been happening haha. Just been working like a regular shmuck. But I've been writing topics down sporadically to talk about so let's chat! I'm in crypto now, so I'll probably be driving around in a Lambo pretty soon, I discuss the weird world of rich people during my crypto journey and how basically everyone is a drug dealer now. Also, why are white people the way they are? All of that and so mu...
We're in the end zone folks, vaccine is here, let's get this jab! I never thought I'd see this day come but I'm stoked nevertheless, looking forward to life going back to normal once the vaccine is rolled out. Also have you ever played Geoguessr? If not, you should. Because it's bloody brilliant. I reminisce on old times working in a few shitty places, some of the not so favourable stuff going down but ultimately I survived with little trauma, so that's all that matters right? Got something to s...
Well well well, how the turntables... We made fun of Perth for having to enter a lockdown, then it was our turn. Third times the charm right? Wrong. I think. So what have I done for the last 5 days? Heaps, and nothing all at once. I also call myself out on taking forever to get to the point, while also calling others out for doing the same and I talk about the absolute waste of time documentary that was The Cecil hotel on Netflix. Got something to say? Spit it out! Email me at matesratespod@gmai...
We are all back on our bullshit baby, let's go! I've finally gotten back on the writing horse, filling my time with creativity instead of jerking off. Who would've thought that it would be healthier for me? Also picture this. You go to a weird sex club, you do some crazy ass stuff with people and you get covid. Now you gotta go tell the authorities where you've been to help contain the situation and now EVERYONE knows about the freaky stuff you're into. Well, that's kinda what happened with our ...
Thank you for putting up with me missing a week, I appreciate ya! Alright we all know about the GameStop situation by now, and if you don't, then bad luck. I uncover the best moments from the people who won big, and also lost massively. Also was the goods that was stolen on Fast and Furious really any of value? Thanks for sticking with me for another weird episode. If you're listening to this episode on iTunes please give it a 5 star rating, and if you're watching on YouTube remember to like, co...
I'm scrambling, and I'm not talkin about eggs. Been a busy week, and to top it all off my god damn bank account tried to get hacked into while I was waiting for my PS5, maybe it's not meant to be. I talk about retail hell, surviving death, clout chasing death and dodging all forms of therapy just to get some extra likes on the gram. Oh this episode is in focus too! Hell yeah, I got some shit in the works that I hope you all enjoy when it comes out. Got something to say? Spit it out! Email me mat...
New year, same me. Alright, there's a LOT to unpack in this episode. Here I was thinking I could just ease myself into the year, trying to leave the chaos behind in 2020 but BOY was I wrong. More news happened in a week than it did in a whole month so let's sit down and recap. I quickly skim over my summer holiday, before diving into the news, from the Kimye split to Trump being banned on socials. So sit back, get a drink (a hard one preferably) and let's try to laugh over the insane week that h...
This is it, the final episode of the year! Let me tell you something. As much as this year has been terrible, it's also been the best year for me (not bragging, just sayin') But this time of year comes with the good and bad. I tell the story of how I almost lost my cat who decided to escape and other weird shit that happens this time of year. I'll tell you something about influencers too, they're the best to make jokes about. What will come of next year? My next moves? This episode is the longes...
Covid normal or just going crazy? Who knows at this point at day 5804 of this pandemic. Working from home has it’s perks, actually it kinda doesn’t when you’re dealing with terrible internet issues constantly. So let me take you all on a trip down memory lane to some crazy airport experiences I’ve had in the past. Also how is America so casual about covid? Is that why it’s called covid normal? I’m assuming so. As a fellow youtube creator I’m coming to the realisation that cash is everything, and...
Well this is a bit of a doozy of an episode, but welcome to the ride aka the shit show! I touch on mental health, the toxicity of the entertainment industry and how I basically sold my soul to the devil. Then I bring it back up to party vibes to talk about my recent online success and clown on some Facebook memes. Hope you enjoy this confusing, yet educational episode! Wanna chat about something? Email me at matesratespod@gmail.com If you’re listening on iTunes please give it a rating, and on yo...
*My anxieties, are killing meeee* sung to the tune of Toxic by Britney Spears. You wanna hear what it’s like living with anxiety? I got you fam. But never fear, there is a solution! Which I choose to ignore. This episode is jam packed with my hot takes on things I’ve watched recently, from tiktoks to YouTube, Fresh Prince of Bel Air to SNL. We might have freedom now we’re out of lockdown, but I sure as hell have kept my viewing lists to an all time high. Wanna chat about something? Email me at m...
Your boy became the joke he setup to play, I dunked on myself I guess. Yes I missed an episode but we’re human okay? Well, I just have poor time management skills and over committed to work but we won’t let that ruin our vibe! So a lot happened while I missed a week right? Let’s dive into it. Of course I have to talk about the election, the only thing that has distracted the world from COVID for just a couple weeks. I discuss my workload and the current gigs I have, very exciting post lockdown, ...
Yeah….that actually happened. What a wild place the internet is, one day you’re just chilling out, making funny jokes about a meme you saw then BAM get hit with a death threat. But here’s that story and other reasons why some people should just stay offline. Also guess who’s the idiot who thought that this episode was my first episode since lockdown ended yet it was 2 episodes ago? Yeah, this guy. I do talk about how life is like in my new found freedom which is dope as hell! As always if you en...
SPOOKY SEASON IS UPON US! I hope you all have your candles and ouija boards close with you for this one, because we are going DEEP in the scary realm! Just kidding, but I do chat all things scary this episode. From the horror movies that scarred me as a kid, to going to my first halloween party, experiencing halloween in America and even my own experiences with the paranormal. This episode is jam packed with everything you can think of surrounding scary shit! As always if you enjoy this episode ...
Welcooooome baaaaack You heard it here first folks. I officially turned 29 the other day, last year of my twenties! But oh this episode is so much more than that. I talk about how my first video became a meme, getting a god damn haircut for the first time in months and go in on white people being....white. My first ever music video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zva395OqG7w I know it might sound lame BUT stick around until the end, I would say there's a surprise but really I just need the watch...
