Matty and Rob give their two cents on what makes a better bloke and are joined by some heavyweights along the way. Between these blokes, and you legends tuning in, we're going to tackle some issues, unravel the complexities and reduce the head noise along the way.https://better-bloke.captivate.fmtrueepisodicnopodcast#107: Raising Sons Isn’t About What You Teach... It’s What You Show#107: Raising Sons Isn’t About What You Teach... It’s What You ShowNathan's a member of our community who caught our attention while taking on a challenge: a walk to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer. What stood out wasn’t just the cause, but the reason behind it. Nathan is doing it to set an example for his nine-year-old son, showing through action the kind of man he hopes his boy grows up to be. With prostate cancer taking his grandfather and affecting multiple men in his family, this fight is deeply personal.

This episode goes far beyond the walk. We get into fatherhood, raising boys, the pressure of trying to lead by example, and the hard truths men often avoid until it’s too late. With Rob and Nathan both raising sons of a similar age, the conversation opens up into a relatable and honest look at modern dad life.

On the serious side, we unpack the development of the First Responder Program and what it looks like as more men come into the fold to be trained, equipped, and better prepared to have meaningful conversations in their own communities.

That leads us into one of the heavier and more confronting parts of the episode: what happens when someone comes to you for help, but their past, their actions, or the circumstances around them create a real moral dilemma. Do all people deserve support? What does redemption actually look like? Do second chances have limits? And where is the line between your own personal discomfort and your responsibility to do good?

It’s a raw and honest conversation, but not without some lighter moments too, as we also give our take on rising fuel prices, the latest Ben Robert-Smith developments, and some of the more bizarre cultural conversations happening right now, including the push to change place names back to their traditional names.

Addiction is more than just bad luck & bad decisions, but it requires a person to become aware of all the different aspects that lead them down that path.

Jock opens up about his experience, and what was enough to make him make change.

On this week’s ep, we sit down with Bradly Gillis, a young bloke many will know as Train4Survival. Bradly is now facing round three against brain cancer, after first being diagnosed at just 16 years old and given a prognosis that suggested he wouldn’t make it to where he is today. 10 years on, here he is... still swinging, still planning ahead, and still carrying a mindset that’s hard not to respect.

This conversation isn’t about pretending the reality isn’t serious. It’s about what it looks like to keep living when the odds aren’t in your favour. We get into the toll that journey takes, the way it shapes your outlook, and how Bradly has approached everything from treatment and training to relationships, purpose, and the simple act of getting on with life. It’s raw in parts, but far from hopeless, and more than anything, it’s a look at the kind of grit most people don’t understand until they’re forced to find it.

We get into the real story behind immigration: the visas, the cost, the setbacks, the uncertainty, and what it takes to back yourself and start again in a new country.

It’s a conversation about risk, failure, gratitude, relationships, and the lessons Rowan has learnt through a very different life path to most. We also unpack the contrast between South Africa and Australia, and why migrants often have a perspective that reminds us not to take this country for granted.

In this episode of the Better Bloke podcast, we break down the documentary, where it lands, where it completely misses, and whether it’s a necessary exposé or just another shallow hit piece dressed up as insight.

We don’t defend the idiots. Some of the men featured say genuinely embarrassing, damaging, and flat-out stupid things. But we also ask the bigger question: did this documentary actually explore modern masculinity, or did it cherry-pick a few internet clowns and call it a diagnosis? This is a blunt conversation about what the film got right, what it got wrong, and the real issues facing men and boys that barely got touched.

In this episode, the Gold Coast tattoo artist and Australian Tattoo Expo host opens up about the trauma, heartbreak, toxic environments, family struggles, and self-development that shaped who she is today. We talk about what happens when you outgrow old versions of yourself, why changing can cost you friendships, and how hard it can be to find peace in your own skin.

It’s also the first time the podcast dives into family breakdown from a woman’s perspective, alongside a bigger conversation about healing, alternative therapy, creativity, identity, and the weird tension that comes when you start becoming the person you were meant to be.

In this episode, we are joined by one of the country's most accomplished doctors, Professor André van Zundert from Hormn, to unpack what testosterone actually does in the body, what TRT really is, and why so many men ignore the signs when something feels off. We talk through the symptoms a lot of blokes brush off as “just stress” or “just getting older” - low energy, brain fog, low libido, poor motivation, trouble in the bedroom, mood changes, poor recovery, and feeling like a watered-down version of yourself.

This isn’t a bodybuilding chat, and it’s not about telling every bloke he needs TRT. It’s about understanding what low testosterone is, who it can affect, what getting checked actually involves, and why proper bloodwork matters more than guessing or listening to blokes online.

We also get into the biggest myths and misconceptions... whether TRT is just steroids, what happens with fertility, whether treatment is forever, and why a lot of men are told they’re “fine” without ever getting the full picture.

Bottom line: if you haven’t felt like yourself for a while, don’t just put up with it. Get checked.

For over two and a half years, Dave Holcomb has become a true icon inside Blokes Advice. Every Friday, without fail, he’s raised a VB tallie, called the first beer, and helped thousands of blokes punch into the weekend. To many, he’s the timekeeper, the face of knockoff drinks, and a symbol of consistency, humour, and community.

But behind the Friday posts is a much deeper story... In this episode, Dave opens up about his lifelong battle with bipolar, the highs and lows of relationships, and the devastating impact of carrying a secret for 25 years after experiencing abuse of the worse kind connected to the church. It’s a raw, honest, and powerful conversation about trauma, survival, identity, and what it takes to keep going when life keeps trying to drag you under.

Dave shares how he’s fought to stay, as he puts it, “above ground for another week” and why the version of someone we see online is rarely the full story. This is one of the most important episodes we’ve ever released.

Cooper doesn’t preach fluff or psychological jargon. He breaks down a science-backed, real-world approach to feeling better: 1% changes, focusing on what’s going right (not just what’s wrong), and learning how to live in a way that actually matches your values... not the version of “success” you were told to chase.

We go deep on what young people are facing right now in 2026 from social pressure, identity, attention, anxiety, comparison, to a world that moves faster than their parents ever had to deal with. Cooper sits in a rare lane: he can speak to youth in their language, while also helping parents and adults understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. If you’ve ever felt like there’s a growing gap between generations, or you’re trying to raise a strong, grounded young human in a chaotic world, this conversation will hit hard.

From there we get into the rise of the tradie as the new backbone of the middle class, and why the “uni or you’re behind” storyline is starting to look outdated. Rob shares about how his son is already primed for that pathway, and we unpack the uncomfortable truth: school isn’t built for everyone, and that doesn’t make you broken.

Modern life is packed with creature comforts, convenience, and safety nets, yet blokes are still stressed, burned out, and feeling like they’re carrying the world. So what gives?

On this episode we compare today’s pressures to what our dads and grandads dealt with, and unpack the myth of the “tough old-school man” who never complained. Not because life was easy, but because talking about it wasn’t really an option. We dig into whether “soft times create soft men” is wisdom or just nostalgia, and whether we’ve lost resilience… or we’re simply facing a different kind of hard.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “man up” and “I’m cooked” in the same week, this one’s for you.

We rolled in the marketplace couches, handed out free sunscreen, free water, free Lynx Africa, and threw in some fun stuff like the Hold On Challenge and an ice bath to keep the crew alive.

We also break down the weekend’s best moments and the people that made it... Blokes Advice, the chats, and the new Morning Lap walk-and-talk for the campers who were keen for something a bit more grounding before the chaos kicked off again.

Over time his body began to fall apart, and the people who mattered most slowly disappeared as addiction took over everything.

Darcy opens up about just how dark it got... including an attempt on his own life, relationships breaking down to nothing, and eventually ending up behind bars. It’s the kind of story that forces you to face the reality of what addiction actually does: not the “party” version, but the slow grind where you lose yourself piece by piece.

This isn’t just a warning story... it’s proof that change is possible when you decide you’re done. Darcy shares what rock bottom looked like for him, what finally made him choose life, and how he rebuilt from the ground up, becoming a personal trainer, stepping into entrepreneurship, earning back his self-respect, and making his parents proud again. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a loop you can’t break, this one will hit hard.

At just 31, Andy’s learnt a simple truth a lot of people ignore: most of us don’t chase the thing we actually want... whether it’s money, fear, or “the right time” holding us back. Andy reckons if you start the journey and back yourself, life has a funny way of working itself out. His passion might be drifting, but the message is bigger than cars: he’s trying to lead by example and prove that anyone can take a swing at their dream if they commit and keep moving.

We dive into the moments that led him here, including his last challenge where he travelled the same kind of route with absolutely zero money, relying on meeting strangers and receiving acts of kindness along the way. We also talk content creation, the car scene, why he’s raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the stories, chaos, and mindset behind a mission this big

Street Shops to Social Media#088: Rhys Gordon | The Evolution of Tattooing ... Street Shops to Social MediaJoin us as we sit down with Australian tattoo legend Rhys Gordon, best known for his Japanese work and timeless full-body suits. Rhys has been tattooing since the early ‘90s, coming up through old-school street shops before founding Little Tokyo and becoming one of the most respected names in Japanese-inspired tattooing. We talk about how styles have evolved over the decades, which “old” looks are making a comeback, and much more about the ink.

Rhys opens up about the relationship between artist and client... how spending hours, sometimes years, on big pieces turns the tattoo chair into something not far off a therapist’s couch. We dig into the stories, trust, and head noise that come out during long sessions, and how that space can help blokes process life, loss, identity and change. We also unpack how society’s perception of tattoos has shifted from “rough and tough” to a mainstream form of self-expression, and how social media has both helped and complicated the industry.

Inside the International Brawling ChampionshipLet's sit down with Danny, the mad genius behind the International Brawling Championship... a brand new combat sport that mashes boxing and MMA into one brutal, high-octane spectacle. Built for the fans first, the IBC is all about showmanship, chaos, and those “holy shit” moments you usually only get from WWE entrances and highlight reels.

We dig into why Danny created a fight promotion that puts the spectator at the centre, how he looks after his fighters while still serving up mayhem, and what he really thinks about the way combat sports are viewed by the media, the public, and even other fighters. From dozens of failures and “this will never work” to an event that went viral and gave him the green light to double down, Danny breaks down the mindset behind the madness.

We also get personal... fatherhood, resilience, building tough kids in a soft world, and the standards he sets for anyone who steps into an IBC ring. If you love combat sports, wild ideas, and people who back themselves when everyone else calls them crazy, this one’s for you.

This week, we cut through labels and buzzwords to build something men can live by. Fact check: most major dictionaries describe masculinity as qualities regarded as characteristic of men... a useful starting point, but it doesn’t tell you which qualities, which is why the debate goes in circles.

We unpack traits versus behaviours, real differences on averages (not absolutes), and how context turns raw traits into actions. We chat masculinity across time... protector/breadwinner frames of the past versus modern realities at work, home, and in community, and ask what still matters, what doesn’t, and what needs a rewrite.

The goal isn’t to police blokes; it’s to work out some form of compass and unpack why there is so much debate around what this word means.

On this episode, we say the quiet part out loud: why men don’t book in, why some first sessions fall flat, and why it often feels like therapy wasn’t designed with blokes in mind.

We dig into the big blockers... relatability in a female-dominated field, fear of judgment, not knowing what actually happens in the room, and the belief that “talking about feelings” won’t fix real-world problems. Then we get practical: how to pick a therapist who fits your style, what a first session really looks like, and bloke-friendly alternatives if the couch isn’t your thing.

Whether you’ve never tried therapy, had a shocker first run, or you’re the partner/mate trying to help a bloke take the next step... this is a straight-up, no-fluff chat designed to make the whole thing less weird and more useful. Not an anti-therapy rant, just a map that actually helps men get help.

For Mary O’Brien, founder of the Are You Bogged Mate? charity, that reality became brutally personal when two well-known blokes in her community took their own lives. Digging into the research, she found the truth was even worse... men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women, and if they’re in a rural setting, the risk jumps even higher.

In this episode, Mary explains why the current mental health system isn’t built for bush blokes, how the “out of sight, out of mind” attitude is costing lives, and how her organisation is changing the conversation. We cover everything from the tractor analogy that resonates with men who hate ‘talking about feelings’ to the practical ways both men and women can start helping the people around them today.

The physical toll was just the beginning... soon came the loss of work, the mental struggle, and a growing reliance on substances to cope. It was a slow unraveling that led him into some of the darkest chapters of his life.

In this episode, Patrick opens up about how it all came undone and what it took to rebuild. With his back against the wall, he turned to something simple but familiar: making hot sauce. What started as a way to keep his hands busy became the spark that pulled him out. That spark became 13 Angry Scorpions, a world-renowned hot sauce brand, and more importantly, a second chance at the life he thought he’d lost.

In this episode of the Better Bloke Project, we sit down with Jared Purcell, host of the Broken Fathers podcast, to unpack the emotional and legal minefield that many Aussie dads find themselves in.

We explore the family court system, lawyers promoting false domestic violence allegations, and how these accusations can tear fathers from their children with little recourse. This isn’t a rage-fuelled rant… it’s a nuanced, respectful conversation about a system that desperately needs reform.

We acknowledge the importance of DV protections for women and children, and this conversation never denies that. But there’s another side to this story that’s not being told - one where good men are being broken by a process that too often assumes guilt before innocence.

If you’ve been through it, you’ll feel seen. If you haven’t, this might change how you see the entire system.

What started as a personal mission turned into something much bigger. Along the way, he met over 400 blokes who shared stories of heartbreak, family breakdowns, addiction, depression, and suicide. In this episode, we sit down to unpack those conversations, and how they opened Morgan’s eyes to just how many men are walking around carrying silent pain.

We talk stigma, especially in blue-collar industries like butchering, and reflect on how the culture around mental health is slowly shifting. This isn’t expert advice or therapy talk... it’s a raw yarn from one everyday bloke who decided to do something and in doing so, gave hundreds of others a reason to speak up.

Known for completing an 800km solo paddle from Gold Coast to Bondi, he isn’t just about pushing physical limits... he’s redefining what it means to take control of your mind.

From confronting childhood trauma to tackling brutal endurance feats, Damien has learned that mindset is certainly a lifeline. While many blokes might roll their eyes at breathwork and meditation, he strips the fluff and gives it to you straight: it’s not spiritual fluff... it’s hardwired human physiology.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck in your own head, this episode might just crack something open.

We Let Him Speak.This one’s going to ruffle feathers. Our guest has built a name (and a business) by saying the things you’re not supposed to say, and filming it all in comedy sketches that ride the line between hilarious and highly offensive. He’s been labelled sexist, racist, and accused of normalising domestic violence. Today, we go beyond the headlines and into the mind of the man behind the character.

In a raw, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable conversation, we unpack the role of humour in 2025, why he believes nothing should be off-limits, and what it means to be held accountable without giving up who you are... not to mention the raw emotions behind fatherhood, marriage, and depression.

You might not agree with everything said, but you’ll walk away thinking harder about intent, judgment, and whether society has completely forgotten how to take a joke. If you’re easily offended... maybe sit this one out. Or don’t. Up to you.

This conversation is raw, emotional, and painfully real. Nate opens up about the shock, the guilt, the anger, and the silence that followed his brother’s death, and how it’s changed the way he looks at life forever.

He shares his mission to make sure no one feels like a burden for speaking up, and the personal challenge he’s taken on to face his own fear of heights to prove that when things feel terrifying, the bravest thing you can do is step forward and ask for help.

This episode is for anyone who’s struggled, anyone who’s lost someone, and anyone who needs to know that the phone call will always be worth it.

In April, he completed 30 triathlons in 30 days, wrapping it all up with a full Ironman on Day 30. We first spoke to him before the challenge kicked off, and now he returns to reflect on the highs, the brutal lows, and the mindset it took to keep pushing when everything in him wanted to stop. This wasn’t just about physical endurance, it was about raising awareness for men’s mental health, and the impact was massive. 

The messages rolled in, from blokes who finally felt seen to strangers inspired to open up. We speak about the quiet battles behind the scenes, the community that rallied, and the reason why Nathan chose to suffer publicly. We couldn’t be prouder of what he’s done… not just for himself, but for every man who needed to see that it’s possible to keep going, even when it hurts.

Rob took on the challenge of a lifetime over the weekend, jumping in the ring at the Podcast Royale 2.0 - one of Australia's biggest and best boxign events in history.

Outside of dropping 15kg & unlocking his healthiest self in years, Rob embodied everything we stand for at Better Bloke - determination, accountability, resilience and taking a step outside the comfort zone. While he didn’t come away with the W, it was a win in our books when it comes to becoming a Better Bloke.

Cris opens up about grief, identity, and how losing his stepdad in 2017 nearly broke him. From smoking weed and eating Macca’s to avoid pain, to journaling, going vegan, and rebuilding himself, this is a story of healing, horsepower, and the power of community.

In this milestone episode of the Better Bloke Podcast, Matty and Rob celebrate one year of diving into what the project has managed to achieve in the last year.

With suicide rates still climbing, the boys reckon it’s time we stop ticking boxes and start having real conversations. They also give a shout out to people behind the scenes, coaches, mentors, tradie mates, barbers, who are doing the work to help blokes grow but don’t get the recognition.

Looking back, Matty and Rob aren’t slowing down. They’re doubling down on the mission to keep the convos going, build stronger connections, and help men to be a little bit better. Dig in.

In this episode of the Better Bloke Podcast, Matty and Rob tackle the highs, lows, and absolute chaos of being a dad.

Ever wondered if there’s a perfect time to have kids? Spoiler: There isn’t. Rob, the seasoned dad who's been through the trenches, shares the raw, unfiltered realities of fatherhood. Meanwhile, Matty, who's chosen a kid-free life, fires off all the big questions every bloke secretly wonders about fatherhood, but rarely asks.

They dive into the unwritten rules of dad-life, how things shift when your kids finally move out, and why parenting is hands-down the hardest, but most rewarding, job you'll ever sign up for.

Whether you’re thinking about having kids, already knee-deep in nappies, or just here for some banter, strap in, this one's for you, mate.

If you’re constantly running on empty, sacrificing yourself for everyone else, and calling it ‘doing the right thing,’ you’re actually just sabotaging your own potential.

This episode is all about flipping that mindset. The boys dive into why taking responsibility for yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary.

]]>Matty and Rob sit down with Graeme, a bloke who's been through more tough times than most of us can imagine—failed relationships, losing trust in everyone, being an estranged father. But the best part? He’s come out the other side, running a successful business and proving that rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s just the start of a comeback.

Graeme opens up about navigating life’s darkest moments, why so many blokes bottle things up, and how he turned his biggest failures into his biggest wins. This episode is raw, real, and a reminder that feeling lost doesn’t make you weak—it’s what you do next that counts.

No fluff, just straight talk. Tune in.

In this episode, Matty and Rob dive into how men actually talk, why we dodge deep convos, and what really works when trying to get a bloke to open up.

They break down the myth that men hate talking about emotions, why face-to-face chats can feel like an interrogation, and how banter, beers, and shared activities are often where the real convos happen.

Whether you’re a bloke who struggles to talk, a mate trying to check in, or a woman wondering how the hell to get through to the men in your life—this episode is packed with practical hacks to make communication easier.

Or are we just too scared to admit it? In this episode, Matty and Rob rip into the "woke" movement and its chokehold on modern society. While it’s brought some fairness and inclusion, it’s also unleashed cancel culture and turned honest conversations into landmines. Why can’t blokes speak their minds anymore without getting crucified? The boys take no prisoners as they tackle corporate virtue signaling, the hypocrisy of modern activism, and what all this means for being a bloke in today’s world. If you’re sick of walking on eggshells, this one’s for you. Strap in.

Making resolutions you already know you’ll break. Offft, bit heavy to kick off the year, hey boys? But let’s be real—while we’re all about accountability, it’s not entirely on you. With everyone banging on about New Year’s resolutions, it’s no wonder it feels like the way to go. But in this ep, Matty and Rob dig into the brutal truth about why most blokes fail to stick to their New Year’s goals (spoiler: 90% of them flop). Instead, they offer a different approach that actually helps you build the habits which will set you on the right path for achieving those bigger goals. So, if you're ready to try a different approach in 2025 and increase your odds of actually making a change - give this one a listen.

]]>For some men it's wheels, others it's the boot, but for this legend, he can't go past a good skid. In this ep Matty and Rob speak with the legendary Kyle Douglas better known as Luxifer Kyle. This bloke has achieved what often seems impossible to a lot of us, he quit his day job and made a career with the one thing that made him the happiest, burnouts. Lads, if this chat doesn't inspire you to go after your dreams, we don't really know what will.

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.
