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.

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. Love ya, Baddies! 💜 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

JOIN PATREON HERE SIGN OF EP HERE This week on The Relatables, Ottie and Jake are back with another chaotic episode full of travel stories, questionable opinions and conversations that somehow get way deeper than expected. The boys unpack some of the funniest and most painful moments from their recent Europe trip, from train travel disasters to the little things that made them appreciate home — and the women in their lives, a whole lot more. They also get into “performative” fandom: are you actually a fan, or do you just like telling people you are? 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.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JOIN PATREON HERE SUBMIT DILEMMAS HERE SIGN OFF AN EPISODE HERE This episode of The Relatables Podcast sees Jake and Ottie back together, catching up on their recent holidays and unpacking the highs, lows and absolute chaos of travelling overseas. After taking separate trips through Europe and Canada, the boys compare experiences, from jet lag and language barriers to cultural differences, food, transport and the little things you don’t appreciate about Australia until you leave it. Ottie shares stories from travelling through Europe, including the incredible scenery and food in places like Switzerland, alongside some of the more questionable experiences in Hungary. Jake brings his own stories from Canada as they compare the different lifestyles, cultures and social norms they encountered along the way. They also get into how travelling can completely change your perspective on home. As much as there is to love about seeing the world, sometimes it takes leaving Australia to realise just how good we have it. Expect plenty of holiday stories, culture shocks, questionable food decisions and the usual Jake and Ottie banter as they recap their time away and everything they learned along the way.
