THE CRAZIEST MATCHDAY VLOG YOU’LL EVER SEE… Wellington Phoenix vs Wrexham

Well this could be the craziest Vlog I’ve EVER done…

We start the vlog out with a once in a lifetime experience in New Zealand – we went on a SUPER boat up a river and we got in a helicopter and travelled to the top of the mountains in Wanaka and trust me the views were INCREDIBLE.

We foraged and cooked some food, fished in a river and of course we had the matchday vlog where Wrexham took on Wellington Phoenix…

What a way to wrap up the Wrexham pre-season tour down under! We hope you enjoyed all of the vlogs and we may do some more when the season is under way in the Championship…what game would you like to see us at?

Right, this might be one of the favorite vlogs I’ve ever made in my life. We are currently in New Zealand. Look around the place. Look at this. What a place this We’ve landed about half an hour ago. Rex have got a game in Wellington in a couple days time. We’ve landed somewhere else. I don’t know. But it’s absolutely beautiful. The bentos are the boys. Everyone’s about to go on this crazy boat down this river. We have got like a couple days of absolute heaven coming our way. I’ll show you what it looks like. We got the game in a couple days. Belting. [Music] How are you with speed toes? You adrenaline dri. That could be one of them moments where you say it and then afterwards you’re screaming like a I don’t know what. Boss, you can still you can still bottled it. Fully bottled it. He’s just bottled it. No, that’s How was that, guys? Unbelievable. Thank you so much. That was so good. So good. Come on, mate. Let’s go get in the car. Right, jetboat in finished. That is unreal. I’ve got to come back and do that sometime. We’re on our way to the hotel. It’s supposed to be lovely as well. [Music] Right, have a look at this. Just checked into our hotel. It’s pitch black. Can’t see a thing. But has got a mold wine on. So have I. It’s absolutely beautiful. I’ll show you what the hotel looks like in the morning. It’s like a log cabin. How nice is it though? Unbelievable. Literally don’t know if you can get the stars in there, but try out the end. All right, see you in the morning. Morning, lads. How are we? All right. Yeah, not too bad. Not too bad. You boys. Hello, boys. Hello. [Music] Morning everybody. This is what we’re doing today. I’ve never been on a helicopter before. I am a little bit nervous, I won’t lie. Trying to take my mind off it by looking at all the incredible scenery and it is incredible. Um, but we are going on helicopters. Um, pray for me please. I’m going to get some footage on board. We’re filming for the Brexom documentary today. Uh, so it’ll be interesting. No, it will be awesome. I’m sure I’ll show you the hotel in a bit. We haven’t had time to even show you cuz it’s been dark and it’s literally just the sun has literally just come up. I’ll see you in a minute. Right. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] What are you saying, lads? What are you saying? It’s all right. We’re just laughing about the fact that when we were flying towards this mountain that we’re on now, to went Yeah. trying not to crash into that mountain and pilot Pete and turned around and went, “You don’t say that.” It’s like saying bomb at the airport. Just quickly look. Oh my gosh. Never seen anything like it, have you? No. Do you reckon we could get a fuzz cast on the uh top of here one day? Honestly, I ain’t even trying to get soppy. I think this has like touched me a little bit. Yeah, I said it when I got I swear on my life. You’re when you’re in the helicopter, you’re looking down thinking I was literally speechless. We ain’t nothing we are, are we? No, we’re not tell you got red sauce on you. No, appreciate that. Fuzzy’s uh FaceTiming home. I’m going to intrude for the vlog. Can we say hello to Mrs. Foster? Unreal. It’s not bad this time, is it? It’s not bad. I know what you’re saying. Yeah, but at the end of the day, right, if I didn’t save that penalty and not currently did score and got back into the game and we didn’t get promoted that season, I don’t know if we would be right now. Stay modest. Stay modest. I don’t think we ever forget that. All right. I don’t think we ever forget that. Heat. Heat. What a legend, Pete. Waka helicopter tours. Um, wow. That might just be one of the best things I might have ever ever done. I’m not even joking to you. In a minute, we’re going to do some like food foraging and then cooking as well. It’s all right, isn’t it? Yeah, she said tell them you’ll take a job offer a job. [Music] Yeah, like yesterday I’ve done barbecue. Right, we are having a nice bit of lunch now. Look, bit of bone broth with chicken in. Um, and then we’re going to go hopefully do a little bit of fishing out on that lake over there. Obviously, it’s just a lake over there. Why wouldn’t there be? Um, yeah. So, uh, going to chow this down. I’ll see you in a bit. [Music] About seven or eight different breeds all put together to to create this. And the idea of them is they’re quite buly and boisterous and noisy and I’m a good boy, aren you? There you are. Okay. Yes, you are. There you go. There you go. Right. Belton day. A nice little bit of a helicopter but some lunch around the lake trying to catch some dindons. As far as days go, don’t know if it gets much better. In fact, if I catch a massive salmon or trout or something, that would make it better. Let’s see what your casting games. I’m not holding out much hope. I won’t lie to you. [Music] Watch your eyes. Yeah, I was going to say [Laughter] it’s a shoulder. Oh, you’re having to do it the other end, aren’t you? Yeah. But a poorly shoulder. Let’s put it down to a polyish shoulder. [Music] Right, we’re in Wellington. It’s a bit busy around here. The game is tomorrow against Wellington Phoenix. It’s a little bit warmer than where we’ve just been. Okay. Um, I don’t know if I actually showed you the um little place that we were staying at, what the actual rooms look like. They were unreal, honestly. It was like a log cabin. We had a fire in there. It was class. Um, anyway, got to go do like a bit of a sponsored thing now for Rexum. A bit of a tequila tasting, I think. Something like that. Anyway, it’s not a bad life, is it? Go on. Come on, Jamie. I love the boys. Worst cruise master in the world. Not happening. It’s not happening. I’m on the line. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Get in. Thank you. All right. Ready? One, two, three. You all look great. Eli’s got a question for you. He’s 10 and he loves playing football and he would love to be a footballer. So he would like to know what your advice is for somebody’s 10 to be a footballer. Simple, work hard, work on your face and do as many of the different sports as well. Don’t just stick to football. I used to play tennis, cricket, golf, swimming, anything. I was climbing trees, anything and everything. All right. So just do all that. [Music] That’s what time a little more the next day. [Music] Morning everybody. Um, Jamie’s trying to teach you how to Jamie’s trying to teach Jamie behind the camera is trying to teach me how to vlog and what to say. I’m a fully grown adult man. All right, it’s day two in Wellington. We’re about to do a fuzz cast with um Rexom Supreo Sean Harvey. We’re looking forward to it, aren’t we? Yeah. Transfer special. Um I’m looking at Tom’s notes here and you’ve got the word foraging and the way you’ve spelled it. Yeah. Is offending me, Tom. Yeah, it’s um I know it’s Yeah, I’ve gone foraging. It’s horrible. It’s terrible. It’s got a red line under it. Anyway, um the big game tonight. Um same as the last vlog really. We’re going to go around the pitch pitch side. Change your rooms if possible. Yeah. Why am I speaking into my mic? Right. See you in a bit. You um just quickly, what’s the spelling like on your notes? My notes are phenomenal. My notes Oh yeah, let’s have a look at them. My notes are full of gold. Yeah, you just got chat GPT per usual. No, write me a podcast. Write me a podcast um for Sean Harvey, please. And that’s it. That’s just what you do. See you in a bit, mate. That was early early this morning, right? You were still in your You were still in your scratcher, right? You were still in your scratcher while I’m doing this.

Well, I’ve just put on the group chat, “You’re right, Toes.” And still haven’t replied yet. It might be, you know, do you hope it is? You haven’t even read it yet. No, mate. I think that could be fantasizing. [Laughter] Why Why is it pitch black in your room, mate? [Laughter] How you How you doing? A little bit drunk. A little bit drunk. You weren’t chucking up this morning, were you? No. Why? No. There’s a guy next to me. Whoever was next to me in the hotel was mate all morning. I mean, like hacking their guts up as well. I mean, this facility is absolutely magnificent. I mean, you know, anything that just encourages players to want to spend more time on the training ground in the gym or even just preparing as a group, you know, this sort of building a facility just brings a whole squad together. Here we go then. Final game of the trip. Rexom versus Wellington Phoenix. Let’s have a look inside. [Music] We’ve got Ben Foser and Ben Toer with us. Let’s give them a very warm Wellington welcome. Firstly, great to have you here, guys. How’s the trip been so far? Sydney, Melbourne. Fair bit of football, fair bit of fun, I’m sure, along the way, too. How’s it been? It’s been phenomenal. My first time over here. Um, New Zealand’s winning so far, by the way. New Zealand. Yes. Here [Music] we go. This little beauty here. Literally gets us anywhere. Anywhere in the stadium.

Okay. 3-0. And more importantly, what’s the beer quality like here as a landlord? Yeah. Listen, I don’t want to be too critical. It’s intense. It’s not the same, is it? you know, tra it’s it’s it’s it’s all right. It’s it’s drinkable and it’s catching drugs. That works. Brilliant. All right, Jimmy. Rexom four, Wellington two.
