 All right guys, holy motherfucking shit. I can hardly see out here. It's so bright but It's 41 degrees Celsius today 41 degrees now. I thought That I left my 40 degree heats back in Alice Springs, but apparently not This is The first time you've seen my my apartment that I'm staying in I'm gonna call it an apartment. It's an Airbnb in fact It's a bedroom that's been built underneath This house here and there's one thing I haven't done stupidly and That is jumping this absolutely epic looking pool. So being that it's 41 degrees Being that I've been here for a week I'm gonna do that and then we're gonna have a chat about how things have gone So guys as always, thank you so much for your support it's meant a hell of a lot during this first week of being here in Rockampton and I'm gonna get out of the Sun call off and Get back to you Let's do it. Okay I'll feel humid again not to be confused with Oomin that David Ike says now if you don't know who David Ike is that's fair enough. I didn't either and You probably don't need to now. I reckon we've just turned a new leaf. I think we have We've been here Or I've been here in Rockampton for a week. I got here at 2 20 a.m. Last Sunday today is Monday. I've been here for an entire week and I threw myself in the deep end literally Now I really did. I mean, it's a brand new place brand new environment. I'm not gonna say it's brand new I mean, I'm used to Australia. I spent almost 10 years of my life here, but it is a brand new city with new people new challenges and a new weather passing, okay, so New Zealand is Is where my my heart is But Australia is where I need to be at the moment for anyone who is following along at home I am a father of two small kids and my eldest just turned three on Saturday So one of the main reasons why I've come over here at this particular time Was to make sure I was here for that birthday Now, I don't know if I will stay here permanently but I am locked in for at least the next couple of months and that makes me happy and Makes me feel content. So What have I been doing for the last week? well, I've been seeing my kids every single day and It's been rewarding. It's been challenging at times For reasons I will get into I'm gonna mention this once here and once only I'm not smoking any weed I haven't smoked weed for 10 days Which has been tough in itself? And I have been making videos about that experience and you'll see those on my channel In the coming videos, but today we're talking about what I've actually done day to day how it's been and I'm feeling pretty excited You know, I've been here for a week and I Haven't done a hell of a lot of physical exercise, but what I have done is Sort out and work out exactly where I will be doing my physical exercise. So so at the moment I see four different types of exercise that I'll be doing and I'll be You know, I won't be working a full-time job just yet. Obviously. I've got my YouTube channel that's ticking along quite well I've got you guys to thank for that The amount of money I'm earning through my YouTube channel at the moment is enough to To sustain me it's enough to keep me above water Literally again God the puns the puns of the man So I've got you guys to thank for that I've got my memberships my new members on my my YouTube channel to thank for that And I have actually just made my first members only video So if you are a member of this channel, you would have seen that and I hope I hope you are enjoyed. I hope you enjoyed I hope you feel appreciated because you certainly are And look at that There's a cloud Thank God for that. So the four different types of exercise that I will be doing or I could do is one obviously weight training There is a world gym here in Rockhampton great surprise. I cancelled my snap fitness membership I was absolutely over that So if I do if and when I do join back up at the gym, which will probably be in this next week I'll update you when I do, but it will be a world gym, which is a Good gym. It's a nice gym. It's got great equipment. I'm excited to go there. I haven't seen it yet So that'll be good. The second mode of exercise will be Believe it or not skateboarding. So I found a skateboard online. I'm gonna go and pick it up this afternoon I bought my daughter a bike for her third birthday I can't wait to take her down to the skate park We need a flat surface, but I need something to do while we're there as well so I'm gonna go and get a skateboard and I will be Taking her down whenever she wants to the park taking my skateboard as well So I've got something to do something to practice Because I will say that if you have seen that video of me trying to do a kickflip I had I had a huge amount of fun. I had a you know, that was that was fucking awesome I didn't land a kickflip but fuck I had a huge amount of fun And it at the end of the day, you know doing things that make me smile doing things that are fun is what I'm about right now So I'm gonna get that skateboard and I'm gonna do my very best to land a kickflip one day now The third mode of exercise. We're gonna do is boxing. There is many Fighting gyms here in Rockhampton. I've got a pic of the bunch But the one that I'm gonna go to is called Archer Street boxing. So I'm not gonna focus on Muay Thai I'm not gonna focus on jujitsu. I'm not gonna focus on kicking. I'm gonna focus on boxing. I want to get my head movement down I want to get my punching power there. I want to work on my combinations. I want to try sparring. I want to Get my footwork At a level that I can feel confident, you know going into a boxing gym Not only hitting the bags not only doing the drills doing the classes, but also getting involved in sparring So that's my third mode of exercise and the fourth is One that I'm extremely excited about. I had no idea that it was here and it is believe it or not a local grid iron team a local grid iron team So I have the ability to play or at least train With a grid iron team every single week. They're called the Rockhampton Wolverines I urge you to go and follow them on Instagram go and check out their games on YouTube They've had a couple of games filmed. I Really don't give a shit what the skill levels like Having a look at their Instagram page. They do actually film a bit of their stuff like they film the trainings They're documenting the game. They had a little combine. They had a mini combine last year So, you know all of that stuff I'm really into and and I think it's the perfect team The perfect team the perfect amateur team for me to get involved with and that is what I will be doing so those are my four modes of Exercise and I haven't done any of them yet So I thought I'd just throw them out there so you guys know what I'm gonna get involved in over the next week now As far as where I'm living that is the next mission. So I've got this place Or I've got a room in this place for another five days to get me through to Friday within that time I'm gonna try and organize a rental. I don't know how easy or hard it's gonna be But I will be moving in with the mother of my kids and the two children Not as a couple but as co-parents now we have no choice but to give it a go We have no choice but to try that and I'm I'm I'm excited at times but You know, I'm I'm not naive enough to say that it will definitely work, but I am confident enough to give it a shot and I'm having such a good time with these two kids that I Would like to be living in in the house that they live in now. We're gonna be having separate bedrooms So the kids will obviously get used to that and that's just gonna be the way that we co-parent There's certainly no way we're gonna sleep in the same bed. There's no way we're gonna sleep in the same room We both know that we need our space at times and Having the two parents in the house is gonna allow us to get that Because at any point in time I could go in my room She could look after the kids at any point in time that she needs some space She can go in her room and I can look after the kids whether that be chilling in a room whether that be, you know Going out doing something We're gonna share the load. That's what I'm here for and That's what we're gonna do so That's about 12 minutes of me talking Letting you guys know exactly what's going on. There's a you know, it's it's it's a decent place I'm excited about the possibilities If nothing else I'm just happy to be here with my my kids. I'm happy to be here with my two children. I Will say that my youngest she's still not sure about me. I've been here for a week. She's still Every time I look at her she closes her eyes She covers her eyes with her hands right if she's in a good mood if she's not tired She won't cry But if she's tired and I look at her she literally starts bawling her eyes out like she has no idea who I am yet And I couldn't really expect her to have any idea because I left when she was six months So at the end of the day, we're working on it at the end of the day This is my first week in Rockhampton. We did it. We made it We're making it happen guys and your support means a hell of a lot. Okay the last thing I'll say is Transport so at the moment. I'm relying on on Miffy to take me around which is something. I don't want to do So I spent all day yesterday looking at cars looking at second-hand cars. I wasn't able to find anything All right guys, what is up? I think If my memory serves me correctly the last time I saw you guys was outside in the pool My battery ran out. It's the next day I'm happy to say that I've actually sorted my transport out now I was about to tell you what I was going to do for a car I had a few cars that I was looking at nothing was suitable a couple. I actually Messaged I was really keen on they're sold It seems any car under three grand here in Rockhampton has something wrong with it So I've decided to go For an old favorite something I've had before something I've used before something. I've always enjoyed But I thought might not be practical, but I'm gonna do it anyway I'm gonna get a scooter so I've organized a hundred CC Honda lead scooter. It is the best deal I can find I'm getting it for 1800 bucks. It's got 13,000 kilometers on it And I can't wait to write it. So last night I took 800 bucks over to the guy Saved it. I'm going over today to pay the remainder of the money, which is $1,000 First of all, I'm gonna go to the bank second of all I'm gonna go and buy a helmet because it doesn't come with one and third of all I'm gonna go and pick up the scooter. So I thought I'd just let you guys know. I thought I would finish this vlog off Well, this is my update after a week here in in Rockhampton It is Tuesday today and it's gonna be a good day. So when I do get my transport, I'll let you guys have a look all going well, I should be back here in about two hours and I'll have some wheels. So We're progressing It's got to happen. I can't I simply can't continue to rely on on Miffy It's not fair Especially when and if we have an argument and I'm still trying to get her to help me out like it just doesn't work I need my own wheels. I Have promised Tate a ride on it. So I'm gonna have to get two helmets eventually, but I'm just getting one for a start and I'm excited. So as always, thank you so much for watching. Thank you so much for the support This is me in Rockhampton after officially nine days I've got a lot to look forward to I hope you're having a fantastic day and peace out
