Special guest time! This week we are joined by Tom Home, founder of Blokes and all round gent.

Tom talks us through how his mental health deteriorated following getting dropped from the uni rugby team and how, on reflection, his mental state wasn’t the best when he was younger. He also shares the overwhelming feeling he felt by being prescribed everything at once and deciding to settle on conversations. Tom’s a big believer of normalising talking about what’s going on in your mind. He also discusses how Blokes was born from the 2020 Lockdown. Find more information here - https://www.blokes.life/.

Huggy’s playlist gets another honourable mention and there is some fantastic advice shared for those who are just starting uni. There’s also a shoutout for Northumbria university for the mental health support they offer - go on lads! We urge you to share this episode with anyone you know that is about to go into university.

And we finish with our favourite guest question: What is good mental health? A great answer from Tom and a fantastic guest to our podcast.

Back in our new routine and back to being consistent. Episode 11 is here and this week we go into the Olympics and how it highlighted mental health in top sports stars and we look at what organisations can do to protect mental health.

Gypsy King (fancy being a guest?) gets a shout out for being the most consistent mental health poster on Instagram and we discuss how we could use Instagram to add more mental health posts to the feed. Huggys hangover gets exposed and watch out for an upcoming poll on @themanchatpodcast's Instagram.

The Agony Uncle this week covers how to celebrate a birthday when its also an anniversary death. Any tips on this one, please send them in lads!

And then the infamous #SayYourDay. Huggy talks through his vaccination, napping, housing, and we dive into his screen time - can anyone beat 1 hour 29min scrolling Instagram a day? Sean shares his continued mission to work through burnout (Tip: It’s not really possible), and some new blue light glasses.

We end with Huggy talking about his soil pipe and a story about a pigeon.

We hope you enjoy and please feel free to reach out to get involved. We’re just two men on a mission to get men talking, all shares are appreciated!!

Into double figures we go! And this time we’re in a new virtual studio - expect sound effects throughout. This week we talk through about our mental health over the last couple of weeks and the effect burnout has had on us both.

Huggy talks through his life’s troubles from work, to surgery, to buying a house and how his support system is helping him take the pressure off. We also dive into which supermarket has the best meal deal (Still no Tesco sponsor).

Sean shares the struggles of not having enough annual leave to recharge leading to his current mission of recharging whilst on the go. He shares the 3 tips he’s found so far to help and also discusses his issue with sweating.

Agony Uncles offers advice on those with Tourettes looking to make new friends. Some good advice and the introduction of a clap from the audience (we said there would be sound effects)

#SayYourDay returns with Huggy’s recovery from knee surgery, Sean washing his clothes in a bin, and a great tip to make the most of your lunch hour
