    EP 45 - WHY DO MEN GET SO DEFENSIVE ABOUT WOMEN'S EXPERIENCES?

    JOIN PATREON HERE SUBMIT DILEMMAS HERE SIGN OFF AN EPISODE HERE It's all fun, games and plenty of laughs on The Relatables Podcast, but somewhere between the banter, Jake and Ottie find themselves tackling some pretty important conversations. Why do some men get so defensive when women speak about their experiences? And why is it so hard for men to call out other men? In this episode, Jake and Ottie dive into modern masculinity, men's behaviour, relationships, empathy and the growing divide between men and women. We unpack why conversations about women's safety can leave some men feeling personally attacked, how zero-sum thinking is damaging the way we communicate, and why holding your mates accountable is one of the most important things men can do. We also discuss the disturbing Cornell Seven case, the culture surrounding problematic male behaviour, and why staying silent isn't always as harmless as we might think. Along the way, there's plenty of laughs, personal stories, relationship advice and the usual ridiculous conversations that somehow turn into something meaningful. It's a mix of humour, honesty and some uncomfortable truths about masculinity, accountability and understanding each other better. Whether you're here for a laugh, a different perspective or just two mates figuring life out as they go, there's something in this episode for you. Welcome to The Relatables Podcast.

    EP 44 - YOU SHOULD LIE TO YOUR PARTNER?!

    JOIN PATREON HERE SUBMIT DILEMMAS HERE SIGN OFF AN EPISODE HERE This week on The Relatables Podcast, Jake and Ottie are asking the important questions… Are little white lies actually harmless, or are we all just terrible people pretending to be nice? 👀 From lying about a shocking haircut to the little things we tell our partners to keep the peace, the boys unpack when it's okay to bend the truth (and when you’re just being a dick). Things get a little more serious when a Baddie writes in about a controlling partner who's making her uncomfortable. Jake and Ottie get into relationship boundaries, navigating conflict and knowing when something just isn't right. And because no Relatables episode would be complete without an absolutely ridiculous business idea, the boys are back with their latest invention: a bed divider for couples who love each other… just not enough to share their side of the bed. Sarah joins the conversation to help decide whether they're sitting on a million-dollar idea or have completely lost the plot. Expect questionable advice, plenty of oversharing, a few heated debates and the usual Jake and Ottie chaos. Love ya, Baddies! 💜 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    UNDERSTANDING YOUR PARTNERS GAMING ADDICTION?? W/JOEL CREASEY

    Be sure to head into your nearest Krispy Kreme store Krispy Kreme Ever had your partner tell you that you spend too much time gaming? Or tried explaining that you’re not actually addicted, you’re just trying to hang out with your mates? That’s basically where this episode with Joel Creasy starts. We get into the very relatable stuff: trying to balance gaming and relationship time, feeling like your partner isn’t listening, figuring out how to actually communicate without turning everything into an argument, and trying to have your own life while being in a relationship. Joel also opens up about male loneliness and why so many blokes struggle to talk about what they’re actually feeling. We chat about how social media has made everything more complicated, the pressure to always be online, and how hard it can be to switch off and just be present. And, of course, there’s plenty of shit-talking along the way, from Joel’s hair transplant to his questionable gaming history and his attempts to get into video games as a teenager. It’s funny, honest and probably a little too relatable. If you’ve ever argued with your partner about screen time, felt like you weren’t being heard, or wondered why being an adult suddenly became so complicated, you’ll probably see a bit of yourself in this one.

    EP 43 - WHY CAN'T WE ALL BE INTROVERTS??

    JOIN PATREON HERE SUBMIT DILEMMAS HERE SIGN OFF AN EPISODE HERE This week on The Relatables Podcast, Jake and Ottie are back for one of those chats that starts with masculinity and somehow ends up covering body image, relationships, getting older, sausage dogs, dentists and just about everything in between. Jake opens up about his struggles with body image and the pressure to look a certain way, while also trying to convince everyone (including himself) that he's got his life together. We also get into relationships, with Ottie sharing the story of proposing to Cassie in Bali. Yep, turns out he's actually got a romantic bone in his body. The boys chat about getting older, realising you're probably not as cool as you once thought, and the weird pressures that come with being a bloke. From confidence and masculinity to figuring out who you actually are, there's a bit of everything. And in true Relatables fashion, we somehow go from deep conversations about life to Jake dealing with his sausage dog's health issues and Ottie's latest trip to the dentist. Because apparently that's what being an adult looks like. Expect plenty of laughs, questionable tangents, a little vulnerability and two mates trying to figure life out as they go.

    EP 41 - HELP!! HE'S SO F*CKING HOT!!!

    JOIN PATREON HERE SUBMIT DILEMMAS HERE SIGN OFF AN EPISODE HERE 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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

    EP 38 - THIS IS OTTIE

    JOIN PATREON HERE FOR THE EXTRA QUESTIONS 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. And if you want even more, head over to Patreon for the extended episode where Ottie answers questions from the Baddies. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
