Show Notes
THE MAATES ARE BACK AGAIN, this time in a never before seen location - THE AMAZON FOREST (sounds cooler than our local creek)!!
This episode is extremely special, not just for that reason, but also because the boys come in with some HEAT — topic wise — talking in depth about their current religious beliefs, and also the importance of being a MAN in and out of relationships. The boys look to impart their wisdom from the last few years of learning into the younger generation of viewers.
We truly hope you enjoy :)

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.
VALENTINES DAY SPECIAL ❤️ That’s right Ladies and Gents, thIs week the boys are delving DEEP into their past relationships! In doing so, they dig up all the problems they found throughout, and explain how to avoid and/or fix these things. These two 20 year olds basically blurt out the biggest things they’ve learnt throughout the first few years that kids start dating…and hey, one of these boys are getting married in less than a month so he’s got to be doing something right… right?!
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!
