BROS AND CONS

Justin Makhlouf joins Bros & Cons to break down what it really takes to become the LAST MAN STANDING in one of the craziest endurance races around.

We go behind the scenes of the race — the physical pain, the mental battle, the mindset required to keep going when your body is telling you to stop, and what it took to outlast everyone else.

But for Justin, it was about more than just running.

He opens up about his faith in God, what the experience meant to him spiritually, and how his faith helped carry him through the hardest moments. At one point during the race, a priest even prayed over him between sets, creating a powerful moment in the middle of an already incredible challenge.

We get into the preparation, the mindset, the breaking points, the faith, and what goes through your head when you know you still have another lap to run.

How far can the human mind and body really go?

This is the story behind the race, the man, and the mindset that made Justin Makhlouf the LAST MAN STANDING.

A recent video shared on social media reached homes across the community and sparked a powerful conversation.

Malik shares the full story behind the moment he came across a lady living with dementia. At first, he chose not to get involved when a carer asked for help. But after feeling convicted, Malik turned back — and found the lady heading towards the road.

What happened next stayed with him.

In this episode, Malik sits down with his brothers Jayleks and Ronny to unpack the experience, the emotions that came with it, and how the encounter changed the way he sees dementia.

Together, they learn more about this frightening and often misunderstood disease, while reflecting on the importance of compassion, patience and looking out for vulnerable people in our community.

Hear the full story on this week’s episode of Bros & Cons. ❤️

AUTISM, CULTURE & DISABILITY | Winewithwita

In this episode of Bros and Cons, we sit down with speech pathologist Winewithwita for an important conversation about autism, disability and culture.

We talk openly about why disability can sometimes be misunderstood or overlooked within our communities, the stigma surrounding it, and why some families may struggle to recognise or accept it.

She also breaks down what autism actually is, how it can present differently in people, and how we can better understand and support those living with autism.

This is a conversation about education, understanding and breaking the stigma — especially within our Pacific, Lebanese and wider multicultural communities.

If you have a child, family member or loved one with autism or a disability, this episode is worth watching. ❤️

Watch. Learn. Share. Start the conversation.

For the first time ever on Bros and Cons, we sit down with our father for a special Father’s Day episode. ❤️

This is more than just a conversation it’s a chance for fathers and sons to sit down, open up and talk about the things that often go unsaid.

We speak about fatherhood, sacrifice, love, mistakes, family, raising children, the struggles men face and the importance of being present for the people we love. There are plenty of laughs, deep conversations and moments that brought tears to our eyes.

We also get the opportunity to hear our dad’s testimony, his journey, the challenges he faced, the lessons he learned and the experiences that shaped the father and man he is today.

Most importantly, we share some advice for fathers and sons because sometimes the words we need to hear most are the words we never get told.

To every father out there, this one is for you. ❤️

Happy Father’s Day from Bros and Cons.

If this conversation speaks to you, share it with your dad, your son, or someone who needs to hear it.

🙏🏽❤️ BROS AND CONS

FIRST MARATHON — WHY IT’S CHANGING LIVES 🏃🏽‍♂️🔥

The brothers take on the Sydney Marathon in what becomes another big step towards spreading awareness and showing the power of community, discipline and change.

We yarn about the revival happening across Sydney, why more Polynesians are getting behind running, and how something that starts as simple training can become so much more.

Could running be about more than just getting fit?
Could it be about healing, discipline, purpose, brotherhood and changing your life?

We go through it all — including our own personal journeys, the struggles, the motivation and what this movement means to us.

An honest, powerful and beautiful yarn between the brothers. ❤️‍🔥

Bros and Cons always encouraging men to become strongholds of their lives.

In this episode of Bros and Cons, we’re joined once again by our older brother Willz for one hell of a yarn! 😂🔥

We dive into the story and legend behind Kamikaze, something most Kamikaze energy drink drinkers probably know nothing about 👀

From there, things get deep as we unpack some conspiracies, wild theories and movies, with plenty of laughs, brotherly banter and a few moments that genuinely left us shocked.

We also get into Genghis Khan, his incredible history and the connection to the Kamikaze legend, before switching gears and talking about some of our favourite movies of all time.

Just four brothers having a yarn, arguing, laughing and going down some serious rabbit holes. 😂

Bros and Cons ft. Willz Genghis Khan, Kamikaze, conspiracies, movies and plenty of laughs.

It’s a topic that can bring up a lot of questions, emotions and even things that people don’t always want to admit.

We walk through the journey from a real-life perspective, with one of our hosts sharing his own experience raising a child with autism. We talk about the questions, the challenges, the moments that hit different and the things families can sometimes struggle to say out loud.

But as always with Bros and Cons, it’s not all serious. There are some deep conversations, honest yarns, plenty of laughs and the brotherly banter you already know.

No judgement. No pretending we have all the answers. Just three brothers having a real conversation about something that affects many families.

If this conversation connects with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
