Robby (37) and Mat (41) are best friends from South Australia. Robby is a barber and business owner, and Mat is a hairdresser and stylist.

Mat is known for being a top hair stylist, with a salon called MJ Hair and 32,300 followers on Instagram.

Robby welcomed his son Brooks to the world with partner Alyssa, right before The Block began filming.

The two met 15 years ago in Adelaide when Mat cut Robby’s hair, and they have been best friends ever since.

While Robby is a diehard fan of  The Block fan, Mat hadn’t watched a single episode before appearing on the show, much to host Scott Cam’s amusement. Together, they are renovating House 5.

The boys started with a bang in week one of The Block, taking out the win with a score of 26.5 for their bathroom.

The boys got a round of applause from the judges after Marty pointed out that they were the only team to include horizontal towel rails. Shaynna couldn’t have been more delighted.

Marty said that, for a week one room, it was “some of the best work I’ve seen” on the show.

Week 2: Kids’ bedrooms (5th place)

The boys came crashing back to reality after their high in week one, coming last in Kids’ Bedroom Week, thanks to a controversial bedhead.

All the judges hated the bedhead – and that was not all.

Shaynna hated the artwork choices, Darren spotted a floor lamp right next to a table lamp, and they all hated the floor mirror, too.

“It’s all underwhelming,” Darren said. “The mood is meh, the mood is yawn.”

To their credit, Robby and Mat seemed more amused by the judges’ endless comedic commentary than devastated.
