On this episode Matty and Rob chat with the happiest guy on the planet, Matty Mac, a man who has spent most of his life on two wheels, transitioning from motocross racing to the Nitro Circus and freestyle motocross (we’d be pretty happy too coming out of that unscathed).

  • #018 - Not Your Regular Men’s Health Charity

    By now it's probably obvious that we don't exactly take the 'average' approach to mens health like most charities (we know, ironic given we're just a bunch of average blokes). But really, that's the point. We're shaking it up and doing things a bit differently because we think that's what's needed. Tune in to this ep to hear about the work we've been doing with the Better Bloke Project and how you can be a part of it.

  • #015 - Why Talking About Mens Mental Health ISN'T Helping

    A topic that no bloke wants to talk about, but one that affects us all. For some of us, we'll never want to talk about it, but maybe there's something that speaks louder than words. In this episode, Rob and Matty speak to Lini, a Picasso with the paint brush who's mission is bigger than himself. Lini is currently using his talent to tell stories of influential men like Jonathan Thurston, Kyle Sandilands, and Cody Simpson with the hopes of capturing their stories of vulnerability in a way that will resonate with those blokes who simply don't have the words. It's a deep one boys, but an important one, listen up.
