    #040 - Has The Era Of Woke Ended?

    Has being 'woke’ done more harm than good? Or are we just too scared to admit it? In this episode, Matty and Rob rip into the "woke" movement and its chokehold on modern society. While it’s brought some fairness and inclusion, it’s also unleashed cancel culture and turned honest conversations into landmines. Why can’t blokes speak their minds anymore without getting crucified? The boys take no prisoners as they tackle corporate virtue signaling, the hypocrisy of modern activism, and what all this means for being a bloke in today’s world. If you’re sick of walking on eggshells, this one’s for you. Strap in.

    #039 - Screw New Years Resolutions (This is better)

    So, you’re lying to yourself again this year? Making resolutions you already know you’ll break. Offft, bit heavy to kick off the year, hey boys? But let’s be real—while we’re all about accountability, it’s not entirely on you. With everyone banging on about New Year’s resolutions, it’s no wonder it feels like the way to go. But in this ep, Matty and Rob dig into the brutal truth about why most blokes fail to stick to their New Year’s goals (spoiler: 90% of them flop). Instead, they offer a different approach that actually helps you build the habits which will set you on the right path for achieving those bigger goals. So, if you're ready to try a different approach in 2025 and increase your odds of actually making a change - give this one a listen.
