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.

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.

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.
