Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bailey and Maxes.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yes, it's Fall.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Truths three.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Max's little brother is asking the questions this week.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
It's personal mix. Yeah, the Wall of Truth is back.
Not that either of us are really thrilled with it.
We're carrying on with it. We don't want to answer
deeply personal questions, but that's what we're doing. And as
you've just heard from the Deep Voice voiceover man, it's
a special edition this week.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
All my favorite thing is about to happen. We are
going to get to Nomax on an even deeper level
because we have possibly the person that's closest to him,
that's known him for a very very very long time,
in fact, his whole life.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Whole life.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, sure, Yeah, they're talking about your brother, George. Yeah,
George Burferts has walked into the studio. It's your boy,
is the much better looking berfot.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Haley, be careful, Mad, You'll be careful, Hailey Piercon. I'm
all right. I'm gonna have so much fun with this. George.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
You're here because we want to really get to know
Max on a deeper level because, as you would know,
is his brother, he has a wall up around him,
like a full cement wall, brick wall.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
He is a FORTRESSLM deep, and.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's really frustrating trying to take those bricks away. So
we are going to do a little thing every day
this week where you're going to ask your bro a
question and maybe he will open up to you more
than he does to me.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Maybe probably not, maybe, though, we'll give it a go.
Go on, George Wall of Truth me. Question number one.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Max Burford, my brother, yeap, what's the biggest stitch up
you ever did to me?

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Biggest stitch up? I would suggest that there was one
which financially maybe would come back to bite both of us.
So I reckon I would have been maybe approaching ten,
and I had a good grasp on Pokemon cards. Oh no,
George knows already. George would have been seven. It was
a Christmas day. We both got given a set of
Pokemon cards, first edition Pokemon cards, and we went through

(01:58):
our packs and the best card is usually the last
card you open up. It's a shiny one. I got
a little shiny STARMI in fairness, it's pretty crap. George's
last card it was genuinely a first edition Charizard Oligroil.
Amazing right, I traded George the crappy Starmi because I
convinced him that my Stami was going to be better

(02:20):
than his Charisard because it was water and water puts
out fire, which Charizad was made sense to me, made
sense at the time.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
George.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Now, if you were to look at the value of
those cards right now, first edition Starmi and probably thirty
forty bucks, first edition charis Art is worth six figures.
Are you serious? Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Could have been rich?

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Hang on, where is that could have been rich? Well?
Unfortunately the stitch up was for George and for me
because I took that card to one of my very
older cousin's parties, and I think someone at that party
realized the value of that car. And when I got home,
I didn't have that card anymore, So neither George. I
have the one hundred thousand dollars Pokemon car and your

(03:03):
cousin is.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Living in luxury somewhere in Thailand or something.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I've never seen that again, weird, That's probably the biggest
stitch up I've ever done on George. And he knows
about this and we talk about it all the time.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, I just love being taken advantage of.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Did you do that a lot as a bigger brother.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yes, you're like this innocent, little playful one that's come
in and he has the power to treat you like everything.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
We played video games basketball was one of them, and
he'd players the Eastern or Western All Stars Lebron James,
Dwayne Wade, and i'd players, you've got the loser players
eye players. At the time, the Minnesota Timbolves had won
a game, the worst team ever, wondering why I kept losing,
and he'd just sit there laughing.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Fifty points are yeah, Bully, Well, I mean winning, Haley.
We've established it on the show. I like winning it things.
And George was younger than me, and he thought it
was a good idea.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
To play like a better man because you were beating
your seven year old brother.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah. It really made me feel like a big strong man.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
And taught me a lot of lessons.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Exactly. Look at this big strong individual.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Thank you, Max, Love you brother.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Thanks George. Good without you so love you back. Also
love you.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Look at me in the eye when you say that.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I also love you.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I love you.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
That's enough, George, I love you. George intimidating, isn't it
these days?

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh? That was beautiful. I love you and your brother together.
Can he join our show like permanently? That was the
three of us, Yeah, George, perfect lock it in. I
would like to know from other people siblings, stitch Ups,
has this happened to you before? Have you ever stitched
up a sibling? It's normally the older one getting the
younger one, but maybe it was the other way around.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Did you do it? Did it happen to you? We
want to hear from you. Thirty one O two three
Give us a bus with your siblings, stitch Ups,
