The Toolbox

Rollie & Hamish load up their saddlebags and ride out once again.

Unloading the invisible backpacks, they talk about the mental benefits of having things to look forward to.

Rollie rides solo this week but never fear he brings with him his invisible backpack to unpack. He also weighs in on famous men saying and doing inappropriate things as well as a one off return of Papers Please, the news review just for you to get Rollie's take on the government intervention in British Steel.

Rollie & Hamish unload the saddlebags once again as they welcome Greg & Jordan, two facilitators from the Sunderland Kayll Road branch of Andy's Man Club to celebrate the branch's first birthday.

Andy's Man Club offers peer to peer support for men struggling with their mental health with groups all over the UK meeting every Monday at 7pm except for bank holidays.

Rollie finds himself bereft without his rotten soldier, as Hamish is back visiting his family in Scotland. Rollie unsaddles the invisible backpack and then poses questions that come out of having watched the hit Netflix show Adolescence.

What can be done?

How do we reach these kids?
