  • Misogynistic hate speech

    Leaving this here because they delete any negative comments on their social media. This podcast is disgusting and harmful. Any young men seeking mental health advice - please don’t listen to this. Seek professional help.

  • Missed the mark

    Men’s mental health absolutely needs to be spoken about and supported more but this podcast is NOT it. Terrible listen and so not helpful for mens mental health.

    It’s so bad, these guys will hopefully one day look back and see how incredibly cooked the podcast is.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#117: Jacob “Barnos” Barnfield | The Story Behind The Headlines
Q: What happened that day at Bondi and how did it affect you afterwards?
He describes the shock of the attack, the instinct to get closer to help, and the realization of how a life-altering event can redefine one's purpose and responsibilities to others.
#110: Andrew Carpenter | the man most hated by child sex offenders
Q: What motivated you to start the law change campaign?
I started taking on child abuse civil cases and saw how the legal system allowed offenders to dodge accountability, especially when assets were protected in superannuation; I wanted to close those loopholes and push for reforms that protect survivors and deter offenders.
#112: From Dunnies To Sunnies: What The Gurus Don’t Tell You
Q: What went wrong with the initial marketing push and how did you recover?
The first marketing agency burned through revenue with little ROI, prompting a restart and a strategic pivot toward more durable product lines and organic growth through structure and mentorship.
#112: From Dunnies To Sunnies: What The Gurus Don’t Tell You
Q: What prompted you to switch from plumbing to selling sunglasses online?
A combination of dissatisfaction with traditional work life, a targeted online coaching course, and an opportunity to build something that could be done from home led to a gradual pivot into e-commerce.
#109: The Curly Show | A Raw Chat About Purpose, Pressure & Mateship
Q: What sparked the decision to pursue a transformative journey abroad?
The guest explains a need to escape his familiar environment, confront trauma, and re-evaluate life away from crowds, leading to a journey that included ayahuasca in Peru and a long period of solo reflection.
