Today in the Fade Out barbershop, we’re taking it right back to basics: What does it mean to ‘be a man’?

Joining us in the barber’s chair today is Barmera local and footy fanatic, Jed Millington, who heads up the Barmera Football Club Wellbeing Committee.

Together, Cal and Jed talk about sticking to your values, pretending you’re okay when you’re actually not, and how getting in your head can get in the way.

If you want to talk to someone about something we've covered in the Fade Out barbershop today, there's plenty of people out there ready to listen. You can call Lifeline on 1311 14 or dial 1800 RESPECT for an anonymous chat. You can also go to MensLine.org.au.

Welcome to the Fade Out Barbershop, a space for men to hang out, relax and get to the root of some of the big things on their minds.

What do you do when someone you like rejects you? Why can it be so awkward to ask your partner what they like during sex? How do you tell a mate they’ve crossed a line? Should our partners have a say in what we see online? How do you tell someone you don’t feel like yourself? 

Join Callum MacPherson, your host and barber, as he has some honest chats with a line up of Riverland blokes about the everyday issues that young men have to deal with.

Get ready to leave this barbershop with some fresh perspectives to go with your fresh cut.

Fade Out: Conversations for Men

Today in the Fade Out barbershop, we’re taking it right back to basics: What does it mean to ‘be a man’?

The Full Shave: What makes a man, a man?

It’s all about honesty in the Fade Out barbershop, so today we’re going straight to the point: How do you say exactly what’s on your mind?

Whether you’re struggling with your mental health, or you see something that just doesn’t feel right, it can be hard to find the right words to say what we really think. So today, James Wallace from the Barmera United Soccer Club is gonna break it down for us.

Cal and James delve into when gossip crosses the line, why it can feel so good to say how you feel, and how to have hard conversations with your mates without feeling like a burden. 

You can find some great resources on this topic at RUOK.org.au.

The Top Knot: How do I tell my mates what I really feel?

In the Fade Out barbershop today, we’re talking about the people we look up to and what makes them such great role models in our eyes.  

We've got Riverland legend, Mick Beech, in the barber’s chair. He’s a father of four boys and one daughter, so he knows a thing or two about being someone people look up to.

Sit back and relax as Cal and Mick talk about their own heroes, finding your tribe and how to show someone you’re really listening.
