My Ex And I Are Getting Married, Biggest Keys For A Successful Relationship & More - MaateCast #23

MAAATES WE’RE BACK….again. Unfortunately, the podcast is not back…yet. BUT we wanted to talk about the year that has been, and the year to come, so….. In today’s episode, we’re talking everything 2025 by asking 25 questions about the year and the year to come 👀. This has easily been our biggest year running TheMaates, and also our biggest year personally. We delve into it all in this episode! Thank you so much for your support.

Cyclone Alfred hit Brisbane on the day of Christian’s wedding, forcing him to pivot last minute… Meanwhile, the boys dive into Millar’s newfound passion for The Maates, tackle a big question—should we feel guilty for sinning?—and explore how ChatGPT can help set life goals. Another fortnight in the cozy corner of the MaateCast!

You read it right, The Maates are splitting up… physically. Yeah sorry for the bit of clickbait. And while we’re apologising, sorry for the second or two of blurry quality. Anyways, MILLAR HAS MOVED OUT, HE FINALLY TALKS ABOUT HIS RELIGION, and CHRIS CRIED AT CHURCH. What more could you want from a Maatecast Episode. Let us know if you enjoyed this episode by liking, subscribing and commenting. Thank you, Maate. If you want to be more than a Mate, join the vision.

What a DOOZY! Episode 22 brings a special guest to the corner of the MaateCast - Mr Hudsen Sheriff. He's a man of deep faith, with a love for people, hailing from the depths of America, he's come to Australia just for this episode (not really, the boys have known him for years cause they went to school together) !! If you want the Faith Talk, skip to the second half ;) Hope you enjoy!

YES, you read correctly, Christian is engaged and soon to be married, and YES, the boys ran a half-marathon on impulse with no training. This episode is jam-packed with everything that certifies a MaateCast CLASSIC EPISODE. Enjoy ;) If you want to be more than a Mate, join the vision.
