This week on The Relatables Podcast, Jake Craig and Ottie Clarke get into a bigger conversation about how young men are being raised and what needs to change.

Inspired by a recent chat with Luke Bateman, the boys talk about wanting to better educate themselves on issues affecting young men, from masculinity and patriarchy to men’s mental health, and whether there’s an opportunity for them to take those conversations into schools and speak directly with young guys.

From there, things get a little less serious as Jake and Ottie head down memory lane, talking childhood TV shows, nostalgic snacks and the random things they thought were elite growing up.

They also get into relationships, friendships, communication and empathy, and how much the world around us shapes the way we behave. Plus, the boys unpack their different relationships with social media — the good, the bad, and what constantly being online can do to your confidence, relationships and everyday life.

A mix of bigger conversations, questionable opinions and plenty of nostalgia — pretty standard Relatables.

This week on The Relatables, Ottie and Jake are back with another chaotic episode full of travel stories, questionable opinions and conversations that somehow get way deeper than expected.

The boys unpack some of the funniest and most painful moments from their recent Europe trip, from train travel disasters to the little things that made them appreciate home — and the women in their lives, a whole lot more.

They also get into “performative” fandom: are you actually a fan, or do you just like telling people you are? After putting a supposed Lightning McQueen superfan to the test, the conversation turns to authenticity, social media and why people feel the need to prove what they’re into.

This episode of The Relatables Podcast sees Jake and Ottie back together, catching up on their recent holidays and unpacking the highs, lows and absolute chaos of travelling overseas.

After taking separate trips through Europe and Canada, the boys compare experiences, from jet lag and language barriers to cultural differences, food, transport and the little things you don’t appreciate about Australia until you leave it.

Ottie shares stories from travelling through Europe, including the incredible scenery and food in places like Switzerland, alongside some of the more questionable experiences in Hungary. Jake brings his own stories from Canada as they compare the different lifestyles, cultures and social norms they encountered along the way.

They also get into how travelling can completely change your perspective on home. As much as there is to love about seeing the world, sometimes it takes leaving Australia to realise just how good we have it.

Expect plenty of holiday stories, culture shocks, questionable food decisions and the usual Jake and Ottie banter as they recap their time away and everything they learned along the way.

In this episode, Ottie takes us right back to the beginning and tells the story of how he became the person you know today.

From growing up in a small coastal town in Australia and spending most of his childhood obsessed with soccer, to navigating friendships, family, identity and the pressure of trying to work out where he belonged, Ottie opens up about the moments that shaped him.

He talks about the highs and lows of soccer, what it was like having so much of his identity tied to the sport, and the difficult decision to eventually walk away from the path he thought his life was supposed to follow.

We also get into his uni years, the chaos of his early twenties, finding new passions, starting businesses, gardening eras, relationships and all the random decisions that somehow led to The Relatables.

It’s an honest look at Ottie’s life so far, the good, the messy, the lessons learned and the moments that completely changed his direction.
