Really good conversation. Good on you Matthew for admitting that you didn't "bend" that it was "my way or the highway" and that you were "immature" - many men wont or don't admit those things.
I can identify with Boston's challenge of growing up with a parent in the limelight. It's tough as you get judged, even when young person or teen, not by your own merits, character or opinions but rather according to people's preconceived ideas of your parent & their reputation.
Loving this podcast... Mathew this is said with all the love in the world... I really wanted to hear more from your beautiful son. So in the words you would use shut up sometimes 🤣😂🤣😂
Great conversation - came here not really having a super positive perception of Mathew Ridge and finished this podcast really liking him. Also, in terms of 'alpha-male' etc, in the best version of the world, there is space for every type of identity expression - the alpha's, the chivalrous men, the trans people, the queer people, the traditional 2 parent married for life families, the mixed families, the same sex families. All types are amazing and needed - the core thing that makes people great, are their VALUES.
Yeah we believe this 💯 too! So glad you stumbled on us. Great that people are getting to see a more complete version of old mate. He’s definitely not all bad or what people tend to think! 😂👍🏼 Cheers, Ringo. 🙏🏼
He was on point about never talking bad about the other parent especially around the kids, it really is destructive immature and selfish!! Only affects kids negatively.
I agree guys. Opening a door for someone has nothing to do with being sexist, It's a polite thing to do for others. Unfortuntately being supposedly "woke" has mistaken kindness and good manners as being sexist. Love it guys .... keep talking about it.
Thanks Melinda, it’s sad that it’s come to this point right? I think more people feel like you and we do than most but we’ve all been too scared to say anything. Let’s hope that changes.
Love Ridgey but Boston's the one who has truly got his shit together. His last comment about wanting a family that stays together 56:00 is all based on firsthand experience. Ridgey must be bloody proud of him.
Hit the nail on the head about Kings. I boarded at Auckland Grammar. My house master/director of boarding would wait outside our rooms till 4am to hear us talk, he would also go back through old footage of the security cameras outside our room to see if we did anything he could he could punish us for. If we got caught he made us do labour all weekend without leaving the boarding school zone. This was recent and barely scratches the surface. Lot of those teachers deserve to be locked up
@@TheBrinkPodcast Some of those teachers are resentful of the perceived privilege of the boys. Kings is the favourite school for Auckland's "New Rich" families because it has a long history of being a school for the rich and a lot of networking goes on between parents. Adam Porore was a St. Kents boy - so his son with Sally (Boston's younger brother) went there.
I cant understand these negative people that hated ridgey????I'm 48 my early teens was watching ridgeys career he was awesome,and than early adulthood was then macca and ridgey, it was an awesome era❤❤❤I think these negative people are talentless and dead inside,you're the man Matthew, my uncle actually played with you at st Peter's I think his name is John pereira

Good on you bro, you’ve got a good son, Boston ❤

Terrible stuff. Blows one’s mind that an adult in a position of power over a child can behave like that.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What are the cool sunnies that Matt Ridge is wearing?
Great chats! I so agree on the woke being rubbish! We need our family, Female AND Males in this world. Not this woke rubbish!!!
So sad that it’s seen as controversial to even say that right?
Thank you for a great podcast. Masculinity is needed to balance the feminine. Today’s world has become soft.
nice to see Matthew matured 😂
Our boy’s a work in progress… like all of us! 👍🏼🙏🏼
Matthew is strung out. Or take the glasses off
😂
People say dumb shit all the time...and don't realise they leave a lasting impression. Common human error. Still funny Ridgey
👍🏼
