We'll be honest with you blokes, this was a terrifying subject to tackle, but, it's been a big topic over in the Blokes Advice group in recent weeks and we didn't start this project to shy away from the tough discussions. In this ep Rob and Matty tackle the types of violence and share their perspectives on when, or if, it is the answer. The two have very different stances on this one boys so strap yourselves in and make sure to weigh in on the conversation!
