If you’re in a relationship, where’s the line between “we’re mates” and “this is getting a bit too close”? We get stuck into the best-friend boundary, the situations that look innocent on paper, and why the door being “slightly open” is still a problem.

From there it turns into the usual Pulling Threads chaos: anonymous accounts talking big without putting their name to it, why that’s a bitch move, and why accountability feels like it’s disappearing in real life too.

Plus Harry of the Week is a different species: Man Sharma doing the world’s first burpee broad jump marathon (yep… a full marathon), the maths on how cooked that actually is, and a yarn about someone trying to beat it.

And we finish with a proper list: top things that make you irrationally angry (parking out front, Facebook Marketplace fuckwits), sparky beef like “zip ties vs cable ties,” and a surprisingly solid breakdown on why cheap LEDs flicker and why 50Hz can literally kill you.

Someone out there is deadset calling themselves a “public figure” on Facebook, in their actual name. Not the bio, not the grey little tag, the name. We saw it, nearly threw up, and had to unpack what kind of person does that, and why it feels so criminal.

Before we get there though, we kick off with the post-challenge slump, Strava tax drama, and Troy getting absolutely rinsed for butchering the Swiss Army Knife “doctor’s ABCD”, so we made him an AI jingle like the petty blokes we are. Then we go on a proper tangent about trailers, jet skis, and the weird things men think make you useful or pathetic.

Harry of the Week is unreal, a 13-year-old swims 4km and runs 2km to save his family, and it turns into a full reality check on what you are capable of when it’s life or death. We also talk crewing at MVP, how everyone looks fine but feels cooked, and why backyard ultras are way more tactical and mental than most people realise, especially if you want to go deep.

Then we finish with “stingy or smart” from Reddit, including the bloke stealing single-ply toilet paper from work as his share house contribution, mine site food theft, and what people get sacked for vs what they get away with. You’ll either agree, argue, or feel personally attacked.

There was a moment mid-event where the ticket sales just kept popping off, and the fear flipped into this one thought: holy shit, it actually worked. Not just “the race went well”… but the whole idea of what we’re building.

We talk about how the livestream turned king of the hill into proper background test cricket. Something you chuck on in the workshop, get distracted, come back, talk shit, then get sucked back in. It wasn’t just athletes running up a hill, it became this weird little community where people at home are messaging, coffees are magically appearing, and you can feel how invested everyone got.

Then we zoom out on the bigger stuff: paying the winner, what sponsors actually want, why this thing feels like a startup win you don’t get in normal jobs, and why hardcore harry’s is starting to mean more than just one brutal weekend. If you’ve ever wanted to build something real, or you’ve wondered why certain events hit different, this ep will make it click.

Merlin didn’t just “go for a run”. He dragged a little trailer from the top of Australia all the way to Tassie, slept in a hammock on the side of the road, and woke up every day to do it again.

We talk the real logistics and the real shit parts: 126 days, about 5,700km, what he ate, how he found water, what happens when the trailer breaks, and what it’s like camping in croc country with mozzies chewing you alive (plus a wild boar popping up before the run even properly started).

But the best bit is the mindset. How you keep moving when your body is cooked, your training wasn’t perfect, you’re alone, and the only job is “get it done” for months straight.

If you’ve ever thought “I want to do something big” but you keep talking yourself out of it, go listen to #061. This one will either light you up or call you out.

Most blokes reckon they’re “capable”… until something actually goes wrong and they’re standing there like a stunned mullet. In this episode we rip into what makes you a “bitch” when shit hits the fan and what the bare minimum should be if you want to be a dependable man, not just a loud one.

We build out the “swiss army knife” list, the skills every bloke should have in his back pocket for work, home, the road, and real life. Then we get into harry of the week, harry’s last one standing, plus running chat, strava tax, and why chasing hard things is still the quickest way to sort your head out.

A bloke messages the crew chat asking if anyone wants drugs for the work christmas party… and a screenshot ends with him on a drug test and sacked. We rip into whether it’s a dog act or fair game, plus the worksite double standards around who gets away with what and why. Then we roll into the other stuff, king of the hill behind the scenes, building something under pressure, and the mindset shift from chasing results to leaving it all out there.

What started as a brutal endurance race turned into something way bigger than we expected. This episode pulls back the curtain on King of the Hill — the chaos, the 12-hour days, the mistakes, the wins, and that quiet moment after pack-down where you realise it actually worked. We talk livestreams, sacrifice, building something from nothing, and why the race was never really the point.

His gut shut down, his body gave up — and that’s where Maple Movement began.

He wasn’t chasing enlightenment — he was just trying to fix his gut. What started as crippling health issues turned into a full-blown wake-up call that changed everything. Dan from Maple Movement opens up about hitting the wall, rebuilding his body from the ground up, and creating a brand to help others do the same.
