This week, the Old Mates take a moment to get real. We’re talking Men’s Health Awareness Week — from dodgy doctors appointments to emotional check-ins, gym stories to why we STILL don’t go to the doctors.
We’re mixing heartfelt honesty with our usual sarcastic nonsense, and hoping to open a few ears (and minds) along the way. If you've ever ignored a weird mole, felt awkward asking for help, or been told to just "man up" — this one’s for you.
We're not experts, just three mates talking about life. But if you're struggling, we’ve linked to organisations who can help, below.
