alright let's get personal today.. welcome back guys and gals, thanks for clicking
on that watch button again. today we got tagged in the 5 things you may not know
about me challenge um we got tagged by my friend Amy rout um and first I gotta
say thank you so much Amy for for the tag it is much appreciated these are
always so much fun to watch going around so to be a part of it is pretty sweet
Amy tagged me anyways to to talk about five things you guys may not know about
me so yeah I guess we're just gonna get into it the first thing that you guys
may not know about me I'm actually a pretty picky eater apparently well
Lindsey says so anyways I yeah I guess there's some foods that I really don't
like I don't know some people think it's really weird
I won't eat mushrooms I don't like any kind of peppers like I like black pepper
like sprinkled on to my food but I don't eat green peppers or red peppers orange
peppers or jalapenos or anything like that I'm not a fan of peppers I just I
don't I don't like the taste with mushrooms it's a texture thing yeah if I
bite into a mushroom I will throw up it's yeah it's just the most disgusting
feeling in the world to me I honestly don't know how people do it and like my
my fiance Lindsey she god that sounds weird to say more on that later but uh
yeah she loves mushrooms and peppers and all that stuff so in my household we
quite often have like a Matt and Lindsay version when we do dinners and stuff so
yeah that's that's something you guys probably didn't know I'm actually a
pretty picky eater the second thing you guys may not know about me um if you
guys have have seen on my Instagram at all you've probably figured out I got
engaged last weekend so uh yeah five days ago from from now actually Lindsay
and I got engaged it was it was a pretty awesome pretty pretty wicked moment in
my life the biggest moment in my life is it was amazing
but um the way Lindsay and I met actually you guys probably don't know um
Lindsay and I met on tinder five years ago we were both single um single ready
to mingle I guess as you would say and yeah she was just ready to do some
traveling and kind of you know was just looking for someone hang out with her a
little bit and yeah two months after meeting each other we moved in together
and yeah we've been living together I mean she's my absolute best friend it
was I I don't know how I lucked out meeting this girl but yeah that's how we
met we we met on tinder definitely not looking for a relationship but it turned
into like the greatest thing of my life there you go
two things you may not know about me the third thing you guys may not know about
me um I like a lot of other sports besides like hiking and backpacking I
mean you guys are probably you know seen I I love my Colts but in a huge Colts
fan I love hockey obviously I got Wayne the great one hanging out with me all
the time if you guys could if I turned this around you saw the other side of my
basement it is nothing but Edmonton Oilers so I'm a die-hard Oilers fan
obviously I live in Edmonton so you know that helps but yeah I'm a huge hockey
fan I also really like to golf I I haven't got no golfing as much as I
would have liked to in the last couple years I used to golf a lot with my
grandfather so when he passed away it was just kind of one of those things
I don't tend to do as much but I do get up from time to time
my best friend Corey he's a big golf fan - so we try and get out a couple times a
year definitely looking forward to try and get out on the range with him so uh
yeah there's a third thing you may not know about me I'm into a lot of other
sports besides hiking all right the fourth thing you guys may not know about
me I actually deal with a bunch of mental
health issues Mike yeah there's not really any other way to
say is kind of gotta come right I was eight um
I battled with anxiety and depression for a number of years
I'm also bipolar I I've been blessed with an amazing partner who is really
really helped me help myself in a lot of ways so yeah I mean I made a
very good place in my life right now and I yeah I I'm I made a place in my life
right now where I I'm okay talking about the things that go on with myself so
that may be something you guys see more in the channel a little bit coming
forward um just you know I made openly talk about it a little bit but yeah
that's a fourth thing you guys may not have met you guys may not know about me
obviously like I I love the fact that I'm Canadian
I talk about it all the time but the stuff that you guys may not know about
me is when you guys think about the places that I hiked now like you think
of a place like Jasper any places like Banff and you think about a lot of these
like highlight places like Lake Louise a moraine lake and paedo lake and like if
you're not from here I guarantee you probably heard of these places I have
never been to any of those um I I honestly I'm not a huge people person um
I I'm a huge introvert so I don't really tend to like going to the like super
super popular places when they're ridiculously busy like I mean if you
ever tried to go to marine Lake I just hear it's ridiculous like people show up
at 5:00 in the morning and they can't find a parking spot like I just I have
no interest in that I've seen a lot of pictures of it it looks really pretty
it's just not my thing so yeah I've I've been to Lake Louise a
bunch of times never in the summer I've only ever gone
to Lake Louise to snowboard so I've never actually gone to Lake Louise to
like see Lake Louise or go and check it out
yeah that's a fifth thing you guys may not know was it for for my five things
