The final scene involving the Grandparents was great. That kind of real and relatable footage is something that we can all dwell on and reflect on more these days, be it with elderly parents, or people really affected more so by the things lately. Really enjoyed that , and those words.
Sad to hear you lost your Mum when you were so young Mike. My Mum suddenly died last month from a brain haemorrhage and these past few weeks have been the hardest I’ve ever had. Watching yours and Matt’s videos has really cheered me up. Appreciated your words at the end of the video.
Your words at the end of the video are the reason I'm subbed man. You don't just flex your lifestyle on everyone like the majority of these fitness influencers, but you provide us with quality information and tips, both for the gym and life in general. Thank you Mike🙏🏼
Totally agree. This kind of content is why I like Mike. Lately there's been too much lifestyle flexing IMO but that maybe just because it's easier content to produce. In any case, I hope for more of this in the future.
Both my parents and all my grandparents are gone, and I can tell you: when they're gone, they're gone for good until we see them again. So MAKE time. Not a text, not a call, not a card. MAKE THE TIME.
I really like this back home video. Its more "down to Earth", and It reminds me of the classic pre- Dubai days when the scenery and surroundings were a bit more familiar. I was very interested to see how Mike responded and reacted to the homeland again, with all thats been happening over the last year and a half. Its a different lifestyle, look to what he's been used to living with across the Mediterranean and Dubai itself.
@@mrsj1417 I agree lmao, imagine complete strangers just watching you chill in your living room as they pass, and probably a hundred people pass there daily
Those closing words nearly brought me to tears. You could just feel the emotion in his words and how genuine he feels about spending time with family. Such a good message. Really sets him apart from other influencers/TH-camrs in my book.
That ending is very emotional and cruel big Mike but very true and well said.We all need to have time for our family man..Your way of life makes it harder but your father and grandparents support you and love you Mike.Cheers mate and keep doing great content like this.
The last bit of the video with your grandparents hit me, seeing a different side to you as well! Such powerful words and these last 15 ish months have taught alot of us how much we take for granted!
Mike, in as much as I enjoy your vlogs and often find myself living vicariously through your travels, I must admit that it was your sentiment towards your grandparents and the willingness to give them your undivided attention that has moved me the most. It is often said, that kindness and respect towards our elders only increases our blessings by multiple folds. Cheers!
I really appreciated the last few minutes of this video Mike. I know you have a heart, but it really came out when you were speaking about your grandparents and just being present. Lovely!
@@notkamara Just pointing out idiocy when I see it. Huge respect? Who does this guy think he is? lol. Any normal person sees their grandparents, let alone when they've been away for over a year. He also has no idea what it means to them? I think he has a good idea... a dumb fucking comment that needed calling out.
20:51 some of the most profound words I’ve ever heard on a vlog. Sorry for your loss. Remember seeing you at physique warehouse years ago. You’ve come a long way in physique and success. Respect
This vlog made me become a new subscriber! I don’t know how your videos ended up on my recommended list but I am glad they did. You seem to be a beautiful person inside and out. Such a blessing to be able to spend time with family and especially your grandparents 🥰 Keep doing your thing and don’t let the haters change who you are 😉
The final part of you talking about your family touched me. Sorry to hear that you both lost the most important women in you’re life at such a young age. So much respect to you Mike!
Wow Mike what a great video! Seeing your beautiful grandparents made my heart sing because my grandparents raised me and my brother. You and Matt have a video to be proud of and this one gives Louie a lot of competition. 👍
I lost my dad when i was about 11 too and with a single parent family of 6 me and my siblings always look back at our mum in genuine shock as to how she raised us in a foreign country without knowing the language. Times must have been tough raising us alone in 🇦🇺 and I want to pay her back with the world. I feel like I could really relate to you Mike especially with your interactions with your brother, I find it completely amazing how it seems like thats exactly how me and my older brother’s relationship is like - always goofing around and speaking sentences with great emphasis and punctual divinity. Love ya Mike.
That ending... Its the reason I subbed and love Mike. That kind of thing is what separates him from other YT and SM personalities. A real human being. Yeah, he is an awesome creator, technically a celebrity, and lives a very cool life, but the man is a hard worker, and never forgets his roots - how can you not love this guy. You deserve every success. I am chuffed you were able to see your grandparents mate. As someone who never got to meet his as both of my parents were orphans, it hits hard. You're a good egg, Mikey.
Really loved the Luca and Mike part I think the video for me has been his best in years!!! So many different sides to Mike. Wow that ending was so powerful!!! And definitely a dad in the making.
man that was a great episode, you visiting you're grand parents hit me right in the gut, you're a good lad mate I'm happy someone like you got all this momentum behind your channel enjoy brother!
Mike what a decent lad you are! Always sneaking in value/life advice here n there. You made this kinda "nothing special" home visit video into an amazing vlog, no cameraman, no editor needed. The time just flew by watching it. Thx again!
Wooow! I saw a new side of you, you really are a pure inspiration, I didn't know you were so close to your grandparents! This is such a special relationship.
So so cool you got to see your grandparents brother. If only I could just have an hour with mine…five minutes even. Family first bro as you well know. 👊🏻👌🏻
Aww you Mike! Great, great video! Your brother has literally exactly same voice as you and he is also so so 🔥, hehe. And what a beautiful ending about your grandparents and family in general... so very true and can't agree more! You are the champion and all the best to you and your family! Till next time on YT buddy.
Wow Mike. Those scenes with yr Grandparents was really special. That message, put yr phone down and just be present as you never know when you might lose them, that was really powerful. Going into the next wave now in 2023, hope that you can keep reminding everyone of that again. Hope yr biggest little fan in this podcasts gets more time with you. It's just so lovely to see the little one buzzing with excitement to see you. Great podcast. Hope one day in yr future you can d o some work with young boys and men and teach them about setting up a better future for themselves. That's the vibe I'm getting in the few podcasts I've seen. Just modest, know yr roots, admit mistakes and stay close to family, friends, home country and the rest is work and play. Almost a Hemmingway adventure your on. Enjoy.
The last part was heartwarming. Adds to the depth that you have as an individual, and partly the reason I - and i'm sure a lots of people - really like your channel. Cheers mate
Great video as always Mike, your family looked thrilled to see you. I’m in Melbourne,Australia ( currently in lockdown) and your vlogs always bring a smile to my face. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
Your lesson towards the end on the importance of parents/grandparents was amazing! Should never take them for granted! You are a good influence on this generation Mike Thurston, good karma will come your way ❤️
Family is everything. Fantastic reminder and advice. Put your phone down. Listen to them. Interact with them. Be in the moment. Appreciate them. Mike my respect for you is alot higher then most people. Positive message.
Recently lost my grandmother. I wasn't able to see her the last year and a half before she passed. Your tid bit on spending time with family, especially grandparents, hit home. Glad you saw yours.
Love the grandparents love Mike and sorry to hear about loosing your mum at an early age, my gran is 95 finally been able to see her recently, I also lost my mum at the start of the year, she was 63 I’m 31,so I have been lucky to spend so many years with her, nice to know a bit more of your past after following you for a the last 4/5 years, keep up the good work your killing it
The end of this video is by far the best bit and the reason why I'm subbed to you Mr Cheston, a very genuine and humble guy, you don't act like a p***k and flex your lifestyle, you stay grounded and level headed. Huge respect to you my brother. 🤜🤛
Enjoyed seeing you hang with Matt. I’m sure it’s nice to be around a mature (kinda) brother type guy as you yourself head toward your next season of life.
this is just wholesome. made my day. I lost my grandparents this last year (the only two i ever knew) and they were also an integral part of my childhood. I lived overseas the last 10 years and my biggest regret of that is how little i was able to see them and my family.
Great to see your family and very emotional to hear your story Mike. It shows where you have your vibrant and positive attitude from. You are a very strong person for sure. Much love to you all ❤️🤲
Mike's back to his roots and going back to our anchor is the best remedy for the soul. Needless to say your dad's reaction was priceless. God bless you all.
Another amazing vlog showcasing various parts of England. The homes are so quaint, proper, it's a great style. Cool you saw your grandparents again they look great. Great camera work and wise words spoken
You’re dads a top lad. Nice to see father and son be close. Makes me wish my dad was still alive so we could’ve had more memories together. Cherish your moments with your dad Mike and make more of these memories! 🙂
This made me pick up the phone and call grandmother. Haven't visited for a few months and was getting the itch (while feeling a bit guilty); so I'm glad for your little chat at the end.
That part after minute 20 brought tears, I was practically raised by my Grandma, she left us in 2019. Cherish their presence as long as they are around bro, they are the true blessings of life (including family).
By far one of the best vids you have done recently! The bit at the end about family absolutely spot on brother 👏 n I can tell you meant it cause you were trying to control your emotions. Thanks again for letting us into your life 👍
Appreciate your view on the family, really, you seem to have a wise approach towards everything you do. Keep it up with the new projects, it's always cool to see how many things you can do.
Matt & Mike are like brothers - always teasing and pushing each other and competing but still good friends. It’s cool that Mike got to see his grandparents! I got to have mine till they were well into their 90s. They are memories I’ll have forevef
nice when a man recognizes importance of keep yourself grounded and in touch with his loved ones. I live in LA for 35+ years and did not get a chance to see rest of my family as much i as wanted too...keep trying as much as you can!

Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss hold your head up champ
Sorry for your loss
Keeping pushing on mate you’ll do her proud
Very sorry to hear that
The buzz on Mikes dads face after seeing him for so long!
Probably after NOT seeing him for so long.
Nothing is more important than family

This was actually a lovely video to be frank, much love to our father and grandparents. We need content like this.
Unexpected Twist, the euro trophy wasn't what everyone was chanting about coming home..
Hahaha yes 🙌🏽
Coming to Rome. !
Hey Mike the last few minutes of this video was very moving. This really highlighted what a warm, thoughtful and decent man you are..... Take care
