    Ep 165. Indri Caruana - Are Microplastics Killing Us?

    Indri Caruana is a functional health coach and the founder of Human Blueprint, where he helps men improve their energy, libido, gut health, hormones, sleep and overall performance. His work sits in the space modern medicine does not always have time to explore, helping men who are not necessarily “sick,” but know they are nowhere near functioning at their best. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Indri to discuss what modern health advice misses about men who are functioning, but far from thriving. Expect to learn how Indri found his way into functional health coaching, why peptides have suddenly entered the mainstream conversation and what people need to understand before touching them, why taking Reta just to look jacked for your next music festival is a terrible idea, what Indri commonly sees in men who are told their blood work is “fine” but still feel far from healthy, why fixing your nutrition can deliver a bigger return than almost any supplement, what men misunderstand most about testosterone, why gut health deserves far more attention than it gets, the microplastics you must eliminate from your lifestyle, and much more!

    Ep 164. George TheTinMen - Why Nobody Cares About Men

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions surrounding suicide, self-harm, male loneliness and mental health struggles, which some listeners may find distressing. If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available:  • Lifeline – 13 11 14  • Suicide Call Back Service – 1300 659 467  • Beyond Blue – 1300 22 4636  • MensLine Australia – 1300 78 99 78  • In an emergency, call 000 immediately. George Horne, better known as TheTinMen, is a writer and advocate whose work challenges the way society talks about men and boys, from suicide, loneliness, education and fatherhood, to male victimhood, abuse, homelessness and the blind spots in modern gender discourse. His work pushes back against the idea that caring about men’s issues must come at the expense of caring about women’s, and asks why it is still so difficult to speak openly about the unique challenges facing boys and men without apology, suspicion or stigma. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with George to unpack the alarming statistics behind the issues facing men and boys, and how the cultural narratives around masculinity, male vulnerability and male responsibility may be helping those problems continue.  Expect to learn what George really thinks about the manosphere, why many men’s mental health campaigns still fall short, whether he has become disillusioned with the left’s treatment of men, the most alarming statistics about men and boys that society continues to ignore, why catching up with your mates for tea can genuinely be lifesaving, how the public conversation around incels has become a modern moral panic, why psychotherapy often fails to meet men where they are, how male distress is too often treated as a problem to manage rather than suffering to understand, and much more!

    Ep 162. What's On Our Minds At 26?

    The priorities you face in your mid to late twenties can look very different to the ones you had in your early twenties. Saving for a holiday can quickly become saving for a property. The relationship you started at 22 may now come with conversations about engagement rings and future plans. Even the boys’ or girls’ trips that once felt easy to organise now require more planning, more effort, and a careful look at how much annual leave you can actually afford to use. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan as they unpack the thoughts, pressures and priorities they are currently navigating as two 26-year-olds trying to make sense of this stage of life. Expect to learn why spending too much time on realestate.com might be messing with your head, whether comparison is actually useful when you and your peers want the same things, why this stage of your twenties can feel so uniquely difficult, how to clarify what you genuinely value, why having a job where people rely on you matters more than you think, how constantly chasing pleasure can leave you feeling even more lost, and much more!

    Ep 161. Calista Clements - How Radical Ideology And Wokeism Is Destroying Australia

    Calista Clements is an Australian content creator and political commentator known for bringing common sense back into conversations around culture, politics and the issues everyday Australians are facing. Her commentary cuts through the noise with a direct, unapologetic style that has made her a strong voice among young Australians who feel frustrated by the way politics, media and public debate are often framed. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan as they sit down with Calista to unpack whether Australia has gone too woke, why common sense feels increasingly rare, and the biggest issues facing everyday Aussies today. Expect to learn how to talk about immigration honestly without being labelled racist, whether Welcome to Country has become overused, Calista’s real thoughts on the Ben Roberts-Smith case, why Australians feel more divided than ever, what she would do about Victoria’s crime concerns, how to combat radicalism in Australia, whether political commentary has cost her friendships, what she really thinks about Pauline Hanson, if wokeism is a dying ‘fad’, why she still believes young Australians have reason to be optimistic, and much more.  Check Out Calista!

    Justin Kabbani is one of Australia’s leading AI trainers and keynote speakers, helping teams at organisations such as Uber, Treasury Wine Estates and Udemy understand how to use artificial intelligence in practical, powerful and commercially meaningful ways. Despite AI becoming part of everyday life for many people, Justin argues that most are still only scratching the surface of what it can actually do for them. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Justin Kabbani to unpack why AI is not going anywhere, and how you can start using it in practical ways to improve the way you work and live. Expect to learn whether AI will actually replace human work, what it means to use AI well, which models are best suited for different tasks, why AI does not have to weaken our ability to think critically, the most common misconceptions people still have about it, where Justin believes AI is heading over the next decade, the questions he gets asked most often, the questions you should be asking AI but probably aren’t, and much more!

    Ep 159. Breaking Down Male Sexual Performance Anxiety

    Why do so many men struggle with sexual insecurity, especially performance anxiety? It is still a taboo topic, but plenty of men are quietly dealing with it. Many want real answers about why their performance in the bedroom is affected, yet shame, fear and uncertainty often stop them from confronting the issue directly, so it gets avoided and pushed further down the road. Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they unpack the evidence behind male sexual insecurity and performance anxiety, and the principles that can actually help men move through it. Expect to learn why so many men tie their self-worth to sexual performance, whether quitting adult content can improve performance, why a lot of common sexual insecurities fall apart under simple statistics, what the science says about the most effective way to overcome anxiety in the bedroom, the key questions to ask yourself after a negative sexual experience, and much more!
