Big Bros

Elliot Loney is an Australian comedian, impressionist and performer known for his sharp impressions, character work and ability to find humour in some of the biggest personalities in sport, entertainment and politics. From Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios to Bear Grylls, Donald Trump, Pauline Hanson and Anthony Albanese, Elliot has built a unique comedic voice that blends satire, performance and observation. But beyond the impressions, comedy has clearly played a much bigger role in Elliot’s life, as both an outlet and a way of making sense of the world. 

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they sit down with Elliot to go beyond the characters and impressions, and get to know the person behind the comedy. Expect to learn how Elliot chooses the characters he brings to life, whether comedy was always the path he saw for himself, why he decided to impersonate Kelli Holiday, whether being “the funny guy” has ever messed with his self-worth, Elliot's wildest tennis stories alongside Kyrgios and Djokovic that have never been told, the first-ever airing of Elliot’s Carlos Alcaraz impression, and much more!

It takes more than good looks and clean habits to make a man truly attractive. In reality, attraction is often shaped by the deeper qualities beneath the surface, the subtle things people sense long before they can explain them.

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they unpack the five deeper traits that shape a man’s natural attractiveness and the way he shows up in the world. Expect to learn why you should respect your own personal terms and conditions at all costs, how to effectively self-regulate and manage your emotions in practical ways, whether “being yourself” is actually good advice, why you should become known as the kind of guy who is willing to take a bet on himself, why being a bit edgy and wild is so appealing, and much more!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
