| 5/19/26 | ![]() #110: Andrew Carpenter | the man most hated by child sex offenders | This week, we sit down with Andrew Carpenter for one of the most confronting, heavy, and important conversations we’ve had on the podcast.Known by many as “the man most hated by child sex offenders”, Andrew opens up about what led him into this line of work, the reality of what’s happening behind closed doors, and the alarming statistics surrounding both victims and the lack of meaningful punishment many offenders actually receive.We also dive into the law changes he has fought to push forward, the resistance and roadblocks he’s encountered from higher powers, and why these conversations need to happen, even when they make people uncomfortable.This episode isn’t easy listening. But it’s an important one.Learn more about Andrew Carpenter here https://www.instagram.com/andrewcarpentersolicitor/ | — | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | ![]() #109: The Curly Show | A Raw Chat About Purpose, Pressure & Mateship | This week, we sit down with Nathan Marks, better known as The Curly Show, a bloke who packed up his life, moved into a van, and hit the road chasing something more meaningful than the standard 9 to 5. While most people know him from social media, this conversation goes a lot deeper than the funny reels, calling things "gay" and fighting. Curls opens up about the solo trip through South America that changed the trajectory of his life, the lessons he learnt travelling alone, and how stepping outside his comfort zone helped shape the bloke he is today. We unpack mateship, accountability, backing yourself, and the reality of chasing a dream in a world where everyone’s quick to judge from the outside looking in. It’s a raw and honest chat about growth, identity, and figuring life out without pretending to have all the answers. If you’ve only ever seen the online version of Curls, this episode gives you a very different insight into the man behind the camera.

| 2/17/26 | ![]() #098: Simple Mental Health Strategies To Change Your Life | Cooper Chapman | In this episode of the Better Bloke Project Podcast, we sit down with Cooper Chapman - ex-pro surfer turned motivational speaker - who’s become one of the most relatable voices in youth mental health, resilience, and personal values. 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.Keep up to date with Cooper: https://www.instagram.com/cooperchapman/ | — | ||||||
| 2/10/26 | ![]() #097: We Solved Nothing… But Talked About Everything | This one’s a little different... it’s just Rob and Matty on the mics, no guest, no script… just the kind of yarn we normally have off-air, shared with the world. It’s fast-moving, opinionated, and honest, bouncing between big-picture stuff and the everyday realities blokes are dealing with right now.We dig into what AI is doing to the way we consume content... how hard it’s getting to know what’s real, what’s staged, and what’s straight-up manufactured for clicks. 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.We hit the stuff that lands close to home: would you take a pay cut to protect your mental health, and where’s the line between “toughing it out” and burning out? We talk about mates who vanish when they ditch social media, and settle an important debate: can a cat ever qualify as a bloke’s best mate? We wrap by looking back at our favourite episodes so far and throwing it to you... do you want more experts, more epic guest stories, or more of these chaotic, real-world chats? | — | ||||||
| 2/3/26 | ![]() #096: Behind Clown Repellent: The Rage, The Truth & The Reason | Jeremy Van Akerlaken, better known as Clown Repellent, has gone from relatively unknown to impossible to ignore in a matter of months. In this episode, we sit down with the man behind the name to unpack the rise to “infamy,” the heat that comes with having loud opinions, and why he believes woke culture has been used to justify or protect some genuinely ugly behaviour in recent years. It’s not a highlight reel... it’s a look at what drives the rage, what he thinks is true, and why he keeps stepping into the fire.Before all of that, Jeremy was an entrepreneur who took an exit, and that reset gave him the space to rethink what he actually wanted to build next. We get into business, mindset, identity, and the shift from chasing wins on paper to chasing something that feels meaningful. He shares what surprised him most about putting his voice out there, and how relatability can open doors you never expected... for better and worse.It goes deeper than “hot takes.”Mr Repellent tells stories of conversations with followers that go way beyond likes, views, and yelling at a camera... moments that hit hard, challenge assumptions, and show what’s really happening under the surface for a lot of everyday people.See more from him at: https://www.instagram.com/clown_repellent/Help us help the blokes who need it: https://www.betterblokeproject.org/pages/donate-now | — | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | ![]() #095: Why Australia Can't Agree On Australia Day | Another Australia Day has just passed, and as a topic that affects us all politically, mentally, and as a community, it's time to talk about it. We unpack our experience at the pro-Australia march in Brisbane & chat about the other side of the fence... We discuss why the whole thing keeps turning into a cultural tug-of-war every single year. From flag burning and the stuff that feels like an attack on Aussie pride, to the way people get labelled “racist” for having a different opinion... we dive into political correctness, free speech, and the way so many groups are choosing to have modern discourse.Nobody is pretending we’ve got all the answers, but it's just an honest chat about how we get back to a country that can disagree without hating each other, and what it might actually take to find some common ground. | — | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | ![]() #094: Is Life Harder… Or Are Men Softer Now? | Lets rip into a deceptively simple question that’s been lighting up convo's everywhere: is life genuinely harder… or are we just getting softer? 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. | — | ||||||
| 1/13/26 | ![]() #093: SUMMERNATS 38: THE STORIES OF 2026 | Summernats 38 is done and dusted, and this week’s episode is exactly what it says on the tin: Summernats, Summernats, Summernats. After three years of sending it at this event, we stepped it up in a big way with the maiden appearance of the Better Bloke Pit Stop... a full-blown chill zone for the lads & ladies to reset in the blistering heat. 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. Plus: the standout cars, the loose stories, and linking up with legends like Swifty and Luxifer, collaborating with Ozwheels, having Criss Cross at the stand! | — | ||||||
| 1/6/26 | ![]() #092: Workplace F*** Ups, Neighbourly Revenge & The Best Pranks | Best Of Blokes Advice | We’re kicking off 2026 with a good laugh by looking back at the year that was bring back the 'Best Of Blokes Advice'. From the funniest moments and quirkiest posts, to the comment sections that turned into absolute gold, we’re rounding up the highlights that made the group what it is: chaotic, hilarious, and wholesome when it counts.It’s not all stitch-ups and one-liners... We also hit the feel-good stuff - the stories that reminded us why this community matters, from blokes showing up for each other to the big moments that genuinely changed lives (including reconnecting families and shining a light on some of the most legendary characters in the group).We zoom out and recap the Better Bloke year too... the wins, the milestones, and the moments out in the real world: automotive events, barber/beard expos, hunting experiences, and everything in between. Strap in. | — | ||||||
| 12/30/25 | ![]() #091: Hard Drugs at 11: Rock Bottom to Redemption | Darcy holds nothing back... he started using hard drugs at just 11 years old, fell in with the wrong crowd, and before long he wasn’t just using… he was living the whole lifestyle: dealing, chaos, paranoia, and the consequences that come with it. 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. | — | ||||||
| 12/23/25 | ![]() #090: Modern Life, Primal Wiring: How Men Get Back on Track | Jason Bluett, founder of the Primal Man Project has a unique way of explaining why so many blokes feel stuck, disconnected, or like they’re drifting... and it’s got nothing to do with “just toughen up and provide.” His work is built around the idea that men are wired for power, purpose, and pack... and when one of those is missing, life starts to wobble.We talk lived experience, the lessons that forced Jason to own his part in where his life was heading, and why accountability has to come before confidence. No saviours or shortcuts, just the decision to stop outsourcing your life and start acting like the bloke in charge of it. If you’ve been feeling a bit lost, a bit numb, or like you’re capable of more but can’t find the gears… this one will hit.Find Out More: https://action.primalmanproject.org/ | — | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | ![]() #089: How He Pulled Off a No-Money World Trip… And Why This Is Even Crazier | This week on the Better Bloke Project podcast, we sit down with Andy, an Irishman living life at full throttle, who’s currently attempting something most people would call impossible: driving his drift car from Australia all the way back to Ireland, through countless countries, powered by pure determination, grit, and the willingness to ask for help.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 bigDonate To His Make-A-Wish Cause: https://www.gofundme.com/f/drift-across-the-world-makeawishFollow His Journey: https://www.instagram.com/driftacrosstheworld | — | ||||||
| 12/9/25 | ![]() #088: Rhys Gordon | The Evolution of Tattooing ... Street Shops to Social Media | Join 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.See more from Rhys: www.instagram.com/rhysgordon/ | — | ||||||
