Better Bloke

In this episode, we sit down with Damien Rider, a man who’s turned mental resilience into an artform. 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.

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.

Tate Smith is just 21 years old, but he's already lived through one of the hardest things a bloke can face... losing his older brother to suicide. 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.Need someone to talk to, theres people to talk to right now:https://www.betterblokeproject.org/pages/get-professional-supportDonate To His Challenge: https://www.gofundme.com/f/3ugtkz-a-leap-for-mens-mental-healthJoin the BA group (blokes only, sorry ladies): https://www.facebook.com/groups/280770292436702Find us on socials:https://www.instagram.com/betterblokeproject/https://www.facebook.com/thebetterblokeproject/https://www.tiktok.com/@betterblokeproject

By now, you’ve probably seen the face & heard the name, but in this episode, the boys sit down to peel back the layers. From life before the Better Bloke Project to the moment he walked away from a stable career in pursuit of something bigger, Matty opens up about the risks, the regrets, and the rewards that came with chasing purpose. They dive into the messier stuff too… relationship breakdowns, personal sacrifices, and the reality of becoming the face of a movement that’s been both celebrated and misunderstood. It’s raw, honest, and a reminder that behind every mission is a bloke just trying to figure it all out.

Nathan Schmid is back on the podcast… this time as the bloke who actually did 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.Help us help the blokes who need it: https://www.betterblokeproject.org/pages/donate-nowJoin the BA group (blokes only, sorry ladies): https://www.facebook.com/groups/280770292436702Follow Nath and what he’s doing at:https://www.instagram.com/triwithnathan/Find us on socials:https://www.instagram.com/betterblokeproject/https://www.facebook.com/thebetterblokeproject/https://www.tiktok.com/@betterblokeproject

On this one, the boys rip straight into the event highlights of the past weekend. 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.

Most blokes are taught that putting yourself last is the noble thing to do but Matty and Rob reckon that’s a load of crap. 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. They call out the trap of talking big but never taking action and break down how self-care and self-improvement aren’t luxuries they’re the foundation for showing up better in every part of your life.If you want 2025 to be the year you stop making excuses and start backing yourself, this one’s for you.

Blokes aren’t great at talking about their feelings—but we'd argue that it's not because we don’t communicate, we just do it differently. 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.Help us help the blokes who need it: https://www.betterblokeproject.org/pages/donate-nowJoin the BA group (blokes only, sorry ladies): https://www.facebook.com/groups/280770292436702Find us on socials:https://www.instagram.com/betterblokeproject/https://www.facebook.com/thebetterblokeproject/https://www.tiktok.com/@betterblokeprojectStick to the juicy bits:[00:00:00] Intro.[00:01:08] Men's communication and vulnerability.[00:04:17] Meeting guys in their space.[00:08:31] Men communicate shoulder to shoulder.[00:12:30] Banter vs. Bullying Dynamics.[00:15:23] Importance of banter among mates.[00:20:00] Communicating with men effectively.[00:24:06] Building trust in communication.[00:26:30] Importance of listening in conversations.

Has being 'woke’ done more harm than good? 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?

I think we can all agree it takes a guy with an above average set to be able to tackle the Nitro Circus arena, but are these guys wired the same? On this episode Matty and Rob chat with the happiest guy on the planet, Matty Mac, a man who has spent most of his life on two wheels, transitioning from motocross racing to the Nitro Circus and freestyle motocross (we’d be pretty happy too coming out of that unscathed).

By now it's probably obvious that we don't exactly take the 'average' approach to mens health like most charities (we know, ironic given we're just a bunch of average blokes). But really, that's the point. We're shaking it up and doing things a bit differently because we think that's what's needed.

A topic that no bloke wants to talk about, but one that affects us all. 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.
