    #046 - No One Cares About Your Excuses! (Here’s How To Fix Your Life)

    Most blokes are taught that putting yourself last is the noble thing to do but Matty and Rob reckon that’s a load of crap. If you’re constantly running on empty, sacrificing yourself for everyone else, and calling it ‘doing the right thing,’ you’re actually just sabotaging your own potential. This episode is all about flipping that mindset. The boys dive into why taking responsibility for yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. They call out the trap of talking big but never taking action and break down how self-care and self-improvement aren’t luxuries they’re the foundation for showing up better in every part of your life. If you want 2025 to be the year you stop making excuses and start backing yourself, this one’s for you. No fluff, no soft talk—just real, honest convo on what it takes to become a better bloke.

    #045 - The Brutal Truth About Hitting Rock Bottom!

    Matty and Rob sit down with Graeme, a bloke who's been through more tough times than most of us can imagine—failed relationships, losing trust in everyone, being an estranged father. But the best part? He’s come out the other side, running a successful business and proving that rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s just the start of a comeback. Graeme opens up about navigating life’s darkest moments, why so many blokes bottle things up, and how he turned his biggest failures into his biggest wins.

    #044 - You're Talking To Men WRONG!

    Blokes aren’t great at talking about their feelings—but we'd argue that it's not because we don’t communicate, we just do it differently. In this episode, Matty and Rob dive into how men actually talk, why we dodge deep convos, and what really works when trying to get a bloke to open up. They break down the myth that men hate talking about emotions, why face-to-face chats can feel like an interrogation, and how banter, beers, and shared activities are often where the real convos happen. Whether you’re a bloke who struggles to talk, a mate trying to check in, or a woman wondering how the hell to get through to the men in your life—this episode is packed with practical hacks to make communication easier.

    #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.
