A Funny Little Fuc*er - the Wrap Up #39

00:00 We're live. Good evening, hello! It is the end of the week and that can only mean one thing you are live here with us Team Superdad friends family members around the world it's The Wrap Up let's do this roll feed Welcome to Team Superdad Real dads creating their best lives ever more time more money more fun You are not alone you're on team super dad Good evening, good evening. This is the Team Superdad Wrap Up welcome to you all literally all we know numbers still creeping up then quite exciting for those watching you can see my good friend Glen aka a dating dad on the other side of the screen

00:51 Oh, I can't hear you Glyn. You're muted bloody machine! I meant that...I was just saying..I was just spitting lyrics and spouting truth He did he just did a little rap it was brilliant but you missed it I'll tell you something about wrapping actually in a second. But yeah, this is the wrap up! This is the end of the week. This is where we just like as if we were in a pub Glenn and I... Glenn's got a little whistly hair. Which is coming up soon! Pubs are opening!! I saw your picture of you actually outside of a pub drinking an alcoholic beverage And we will soon be able to go inside. I kind of wish I'd started off with

01:32 little Shopify blanket business for a month there. It would have been an opportunity but sadly missed and so yes if you're joining us this is the wrap up we do this at the end of the week it's two dads, two good old dads chit-chatting about what's been going down between ourselves our work our lives topical nonsense and if you know me maybe you know me personally Maybe you just got to know me through the podcast. My brain just leaks random thoughts out and the podcast, The Wrap Up is the perfect place for those random thoughts to have a home. To gain legs and turns out Glenn aka Dating Dad has been my perfect foil in this. Not only does he let my nonsense breathe but he generally has actual piece of factual stuff which puts me in my place as well so that's just

02:30 Well, it's never usually true but if you say something with enough confidence then people believe you. My dad has lunched on that his whole life! He will quote stuff from the Bible he will quote stuff from famous people speeches It is kind of accurate but he says it was such confidence that everyone just believes him now. It's getting harder in this day and age at Google though because in the past you could just say whatever bullshit you wanted and no one would be able to call you out on it whereas these days people can instantly google it Yeah, well thanks to Elon we'll soon be able to just twitch our left eye and flick through a couple of pages of Wikipedia. And have it there at the tips... not even the tips! Beyond the tips of our finger because we'll be able to pull it in bigger than we can touch it

03:18 Yeah, there was a sci-fi... I'm massively a sci-fi geek and there's a book i was reading that said like they get kind of indoctrinated into this world and all this information basically all the knowledge they could ever want gets put into their head but they don't know it until they go and look for it so it's like you've got Wikipedia stuck in your head but that doesn't make you smart because you still gotta actually think right oh I wanna find out about that then it has to file and do all that sort stuff. So I reckon no matter how much information was crammed into my head I'd still sound stupid most of the time Oh wow, so you could have a thought like what colour is the sand at the deepest bottom of the deepest sea? And until you think that thought until you ask that question you don't know. As soon as you're asked the question you know it just takes out the middle bit of research

04:05 Now I'm thinking about breasts for some reason. I'm thinking about what size were and just running through random famous women from... I can just imagine you on a Zoom call, we'll be sitting there having a conversation in one of the wrap ups and you'll just be blank and i'll just say Jonnie are you working out breast size again? Yeah yeah sorry sorry I was very happy with my recent relationship progress when i got to the stage of unhooking a bra for the first time in many years and one-handed quick, the quick thumb finger maneuver away it came. It was just

04:53 It was like riding a bike, it was just a glorious moment. I got an image of you doing it and they go no no put it back on put it back on let me do it again let me do it again! This is great Just completely killing the moment going off my own little personal triumph all about me love...I know I do want to see them but right now I just wanna bask in my own majesty Where did that first, I mean did you get much like friends kind of peer knowledge passed down to you in those early stages of discovering women Glen or did you have to work out? Oh no! No. Just had to make it all up.

05:43 The first breast I ever touched was on a French exchange trip And in a pure Inbetweeners-esque way, I told my mates that I tweaked her nipple and then got mercilessly ribbed by them. Which I couldn't understand! In my mind I was like that was the right thing to do wasn't it surely? But yeah and they didn't know any more than Flippin

06:36 Have you seen white gold? No, what is it? Dumbass who's just claiming everything. They're in this TV show called White Gold, it's set in the 80s and yet it's a double glazed salesman! I thought there was only one series but I found another series on whatever it is Netflix or Prime or something like that and yeah they've got another one It is so good I'd binge the whole thing in one night

07:35 I remember the episode where they accidentally end up in a dogging car park. So if you like the Inbetweeners, you will love White Gold as well. Yeah set in the 80s they are double glazing salesmen at the height of the double glazing kind of revolution and they're rinsing it and ripping people off everything um classic British comedy yeah love it love it I could actually imagine life being me being just like my dad was in the motor trade so I have memories from being a young kid of all that kind Geezer-esque sort of Farrah's and Blairs, and Escort Mark Ones and Capris. Just fully leery activity parties at our house blimey my dad said nutter they ripped it up they did in the 60s 70s and I guess into the 80s as well

08:33 I mean we did have fun in the 90s, definitely. Oh definitely but i think if they were the generation like their parents would have been stayed and prim and proper to a certain degree. I'm not saying all posh and all that but you know when their parents were kids they didn't have access to money so i reckon our parent's generation was the first generation where from early life they had access to disposable income. They had houses and homes and they could just go out and They would just have a bunch of them would be marshals and the other bunch of them would race cars. And they were just stand at the end of one flipping point, and then at the other end of the point... ...and there'd have a race during the night! Yeah didn't it? Absolutely brilliant. And probably getting half pissed as well and driving home and... Brilliant

09:45 I And did you know, ever hear when you were a kid the Derek and Clive albums? Derek... Dudley Moore. He was Derek I guess. Do you know anything about them? No no! I've heard of and I know intellectually what they are we never had that sort of stuff We didn't really have stereo Glenn have you ever listened to any of the Derek and Clive live albums? Nope nope Oh mate

10:26 I can't even play it because there's, i mean clearly... I'm guessing they're kind of Spotify and YouTube and that sort of stuff. They're on YouTube because I was listening to one today. Tell me about them! Give me an idea paint a picture? Yeah they sit there you know what's his name the two blokes um The Fat Bloke And The Thin Bloke used as comedians you just sit up there. No uh but different than that Smith and Smith and Alasmith & James No, Alasmith and Jones. Right okay They would do that kind of sit opposite each other and talk about stuff right? Well that's like a sanitized version of Derek & Clive Okay Recorded earlier than that I think late 70s whether they were pissed or not it sounds like they're pissed And they just...just talked stuff swearing In the seventies Did they have swearing in the seventies? I don't think i can

11:30 It's probably, there is one right? He goes he's talking about so basically if you're listening right if you're watching and listening Derek and Clive Dudley Moore. Clive whatever his name was two comedians from the British Dudley Moore and Peter Cook They recorded five albums where they were, I'm pretty sure they're pissed and they just sit and talk crap at each other. It's full swearing not very PC and very funny very edgy what you'd call edgy now So listen, if you tune in right because these are over the course of this week Glenn is going to go away and listen to the Derek and Clive albums. I'm gonna do my homework! And come back and we'll talk about this because right now this section is kind of lost on the fact... I was listening to one they referenced being atop The Match

12:33 And I bumped into him, so I told him. I was like you're a cunt! and he goes no you are! Basically it's this slightly... they have a... I feel bad about saying the C word right? To all our friends family members around the world So to some people particularly our American friends I don't mind the odd F bomb but i feel a bit awkward doing the C bomb. Oh man, so anyway next week tune in as we will find out what Glenn thought about Derek and Clive! It's my birthday on Wednesday Glenn, I'm going to be 47 years old... 47? Blimey, you don't look like a day over 46 and 360 days. The thing is if I do this right

13:28 I think i'm a bit tired but overall wrinkles wise and general, you know. I'm doing okay! I think I mentioned last week that I got my Thriva results back didn't I? Told you I was fitting well yeah last week yeah so fitting well got a metabolic age of 35 so i'm about 12 years younger on my metabolic age but yeah one of it's gonna be great because Girlfriend, she's been chit-chatting with the kids and they're gonna get me some presents. But I'm not having a party you know? No party at all! You've got to do something to mark the occasion Well me and the kids are going to hang out... It's Wednesdays today that they're normally with me anyway but what else can i do? I mean I could book a table at a pub but you know...? I struggle to rally a social event together at the best of times let alone come and sit in the cold

14:23 Yeah, but I mean these days anyone's gonna go out of the for the drop of a hat so if you're ever going to be saying being able To get people out at short notice now is the time to do it. Oh yeah he could be right. I feel like I've not... I feel like, how do you go out? After a year or so of not really going out. How'd you go out? It is a different thing because you have to book it! So yesterday um i went on the first date i've been on in god knows how long and yeah but it's really weird because You have to book time slots and these time slots have got a finish on them. And in the old days, you know even if you went out for dinner or something, you knew you were going to be finished up by certain point If it was going well, you could just find a bar and wander in and all was good whereas this

15:15 It was like either five... her train went back off to where she lived at about half past nine or something and so it was like five o'clock till eight o'clock, or the next slot didn't start until half past eight or something like that. And so it was like well okay even if it's going really well what are we gonna do? There's nothing to do you've got have your fun have your drinks in this time slot scheduled fun and that's it I mean go home! It could have been like teenage you could have Drink up, go to the chip shop, bag of chips, pick things behind the bike shed and then back to for 8.30 slot. Oh you are ever classy aren't ya? Ever classy! Nah yeah could have been and I'm sure if things had been going well then we may well have continued the afternoon in some way shape or form but uh yeah it was

16:08 I've got a thing where there's a big difference between a first date and an only date. So, the first day is the first day of more than one. You want to have a first of something but an only date is when you know this is it, this is done. And I knew was going to be in any day not only with our lack of engagement leading up to it The moment we were walking from the train station to the bar and we're in London, we're Paddington. We're walking through the streets and so on talking about I'm from London, I love it, it's great sitting over there. She said oh no! I hate London. After you said I'm from London she followed up with I hate London? Yeah yeah yeah and there was part of me that was like

16:54 Alright, see you later. I'm getting back on the tube! But it's nice just to get back in the swing of talking to people and just being around someone and working out what you can and can't say so I need a bit of practice. Did you find yourself being more risque dropping a few conversational bombs knowing that this wasn't going anywhere? Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up

17:30 Yeah, I'm just going to say it. Basically i'm going to use this... you know like when when you're going for a run? You need to stretch! You need to warm up and you need to just get your muscles back into the mindset of we're gonna work hard on this and this was just me in my dating muscles It was just okay let's crack open some of those stories Crack open some of the rhythm, crack open some of the kind of flow of a conversation Just get back into the swing of things I think she was sent to you as a blessing You reckon? Yeah, because if it started with I'm from London response. I hate London

18:06 That's about as challenging as it gets. She had to be an absolute eight or nine stunner, to come back from that... Or hilariously funny! Like it was just a set up. Yeah and she was lovely in so many ways but no, she was not my girl. Well good on her for getting out there I noticed in your picture you had an Estrella Yeah, so you turn up. When you book the table you get a couple of cocktails each anyway but then when it came to ordering after that... So the waitress we ordered a pint of Estrella whatever it is and then a random cocktail I don't know which one it was there was a menu just kind of pointing at them What's that frothy thing in the pint glass though? The tall with like it looks like had Mr Whippy on top but what was that

18:59 By the way, Glenn shared a picture of himself in the pub. Well he shared a picture with drinks actually in the pub I just thought you'd ordered three drinks and didn't realise you were on a date No no! I was on a date there but it was great when the bar staff came over and put the drinks out And didn't know who to give which one too because my date had ordered the pint and I had ordered the cocktail And she was like, no this can't be right. This isn't right I mean you're a man you're not supposed to drink cocktails and you're a woman you're not supposed to drink pints! You could see the confusion on their face and it was quite nice to bust open those gender norms Always challenging norms and conventions. Dick Len, I love that! Any shots? It didn't go raucous either... No no no a couple of drinks and that was it. A couple of drinks nice conversation chatting about flying and traveling and rugby and all this sort of stuff. I'm not into rugby that much just don't really care but it's just kind of a bunch of blokes shoving each other

19:56 and yeah, No, and she didn't look like you're stereotypical. You think of rugby player? That's what Jonnie Flowery is! She's bigger than you. She ordered a pint of bitter and she said she hates London. What do...what were you...? Did you accidentally swipe her? She was a hooker right not that not a hooker. She played hooker

20:32 Yeah, I don't know what the... She's only like 5 foot 3 or something like that. Skinny and small but she just loves the game somehow so yeah that's what she does to get her kicks I take that back to all our LGBTQT listeners and viewers. You know, you don't have to be a lesbian to play ladies rugby! I just happened to have met a few female rugby players who were all lesbians so... A little back track dig myself out of there but i just the days

21:09 I don't know if i miss it or not, but you know it used to be whenever you went out for a drink. It would always end up in a massive piss-up! There was just no kind of one or two drinks... I think university days living in London the girlfriend she her friend runs a pub and they said that this last few weeks since lockdown has meant people could drink outside they would normally get through one bottle a week of Jägermeister. Same They're getting through 10 a week at the moment. They've had to recruit glass collectors because people are drinking so fast they can't get them in quick enough, let alone wash up quick enough

22:03 What is it? That's one of the things, because it's like you know when you go to a pub on Friday night and it'll be last orders. And everyone will say I'll have 15 pints! And so they just order drinks, because they knew they had to get them and then neck them down in a short period of time because you're running out of time. That's what it's like if you've only got three hours of drinking time! You've gotta make the most of that free hour So people turn up... Laga laga laga laga laga laga... ...and then stagger off into the distance Yeah People say that has been a good change for British culture But I think I miss that I think there is a lot to be said for

22:42 Go out, it's like rush-rush-rush rat arsed. Like absolute madness and mayhem then they shut and they kick you out then you're all out on the street like, hey talk to people we've just... Okay obviously people with the fighting was not so ideal but that the fun and hilarity of it all Then stumble into some nightclub or not a non-yid goer It's just yeah there's a bit of British maybe with Brexit they'll bring it back Oh no doubt they will. If it's something that isn't entirely progressive and positive then that's what Brexit is all about, let's be honest There's a checklist somewhere. Next up, pub opening times! Right Honourable Man from Whitstable... Talking about right honourables I'm eagerly awaiting the vote count in London because i am desperate to see how many more votes Count Binface gets than Lawrence Fox

23:46 So Lawrence Fox as in what the guy that was married to the woman who'd started lastminute.com? Uh, Lawrence Fox I think he used to be married to Billie Piper or something like that. Hang on a minute, someone called Lawrence Fox? I hope not. He's a... Well this Lawrence Fox is, and i will happily say it on the record, A racist xenophobic wanker! Absolute wanker! And uh... Glenn, I think you should say what you think. And he's a scumbag but he's standing for election and he spent probably, I think his campaign budget was about five million quid

24:28 And he was polling in the London Mayoral elections at 1% which is exactly the same as Count Binface. Count Binface is the person who does Lord Buckethead so he's fought against Boris and Theresa May and all that sort of stuff, and he's up for a London election as well! Ah yes I see Count Bucketface... what's he called? Lord Binface Yes Here we go, for those watching let's bring this in. We can have a little share of the old screenage... There he is! This is British politics at its best Count Binface tying with Lawrence Fox in London Mayoral race and wow so Is he conservative or independent? I think he's either kind of UKIP type thing or whatever the new UKIP is.

25:28 Yeah, he's pretty much in that world. I've heard him described as a Waitrose Tommy Robinson That's a good description! So even if you don't know who he is, you would understand him by that sort of thing. This frames it for you... Lawrence Fox vows to reverse London War on Motorists Oh he's also vowed to make every school, and he hasn't got the powers even if it was mayor. He wouldn't have the powers to do this but he wants to force every school every morning every kid in a school to basically pledge allegiance to the British flag and to force every government and school in every building to be flying British flags um he wants to end lockdown within the next six weeks

26:14 Lockdown's already fucking ending in the next six weeks, you knob! And I want this to start in six weeks time. Excuse me Lawrence... Shut up! No, Lawrence, Lawrence... Did you make a point? I don't care if it's ended already! Wait, did he say ended already?! Okay, next time! He's just an absolute cock. Did you manage to vote? I mean, apparently 20% turnout in Kent... It's stupidly low and I'm part of the 80 percent who didn't vote this year And it was simply because I had to be in work for a certain period at a certain time

26:55 I passed nine at night so i couldn't get to a polling station in time. The only thing I could have done is wake up at 6am and, I'll be honest, I was shattered! It's been a long few weeks of work and I just didn't wake up in time to get to the polling station before then traveling into London to go to work Imagine if Lawrence Fox was also running for the Kent Police Commissioner and your one vote meant that Lawrence Fox has won it. Yes, you say that in the 2016 elections I did the vote count and won... not all of it! I didn't count every vote, I contributed to this and one of the councillors there won their votes 797-798

27:37 I've never seen adult human beings so stressed about adding up and counting. And there was a handful of like no votes, unclear votes and stuff like that...I've never seen it but it proves every vote bloody matters in most elections! I'm not a randomist, but i've always voted. I might have missed one or two randomly in my life and I take my kids every time I vote so they get an idea as well that voting is just what you do people died and are still dying for the right to vote. What I decided was if you don't vote in three or two consecutive elections

28:27 You get the right to vote taken away from you. That's interesting! And then, to get it back, you have to do something like... Like a community service? A community-spirited action to earn your vote back. That's interesting! Yeah that sounds like an interesting manifesto pledge I'll vote for ya Yeah, thank you very much. Or I'll intend to and then i'll probably skip it you know? I'm also voting to end lockdown in six weeks! Well I tell you what is happening on the realms of lockdown in about slightly less than six weeks... It's the Istanbul Covid party for all our soccer fans out there. Soccer fans

29:13 We're talking about the Champions League final. Yes, yes. If people weren't into football you know what's the story? The story is that Chelsea, Chelsea FC of a London based soccer team owned by... The London Blues They have made it to the Champions League Final And Manchester City, owned by an entire country of oil diggers. They have also made it to the Champions League final. Now the curious thing about this is that the final is going to be in Istanbul which is some kind of 3 000 miles away

29:57 Made up number by the way. That bit I've got no worries about because i went to the Champions League final when Spurs played Liverpool a few years ago and it was out in Madrid and yes we could have technically played it at Wembley, not we couldn't because UEFA wouldn't let us but theoretically we could have arranged it so it's in the UK and easier for fans to get to but there was something about going out to Madrid The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up

30:32 But yeah, it just cracks me up the idea that they're going to give 4 000 tickets to Chelsea and Man City. And 8 000 British people plus a few Russians and Arabs are going to go to Istanbul which is currently on full red alert for Covid-19. There's this idea that everything will be all right but I couldn't understand how although TalkSport were justifying it on the basis UEFA and sponsors, and they'd earned it. They deserved it. They couldn't take it away from them two years running. It's like yeah but because apparently the whole Italian first COVID wave was caused by a couple of super spreader events at Champions League matches where Spanish and Italian teams played each other and then played the return leg and just created this massive COVID soup in it and it went like wildfire

31:31 So no surprise the British government have put Turkey on the red list today. Have you seen the green list? You'll be pleased to know that such places such as the Falklands, St Vincent I think the Faroe Islands are on the green list as well. Basically it's just a whole bunch of islands that Britain pretty much still owns, so it's not really... Who the fuck is going to go away on holiday to the Falklands? A sheep farmer? Well really they've put places like, they've put New Zealand on the list and I'm wondering. We can say it's okay for us to go there but iIm pretty sure New Zealand are gonna say wait a minute fuck off you can't come here! You get on the plane that's fine, you ain't getting in the country doesn't matter whether we're on your list...you're not on our list yeah how does that work

32:30 I love this whole thing about Boris and the, uh...I'd rather see people stacked up. I'd rather see piles of dead people than do another look there, right? I'm okay with that. Not okay with dead people stuff, i'm okay with the like shut the door just get on with some government business it should be kind of what they call it Chatham House rules? Like once the doors close... There's only one Chatham house rule! Oh is there tell me oh wait no literally everyone says Chatham House rules but the only rules are you can say or repeat anything that gets said in a Chatham House Rule meeting and anything that gets said you can repeat it but you can't attribute it to anyone who was in that room

33:10 Which people often think, say there's a chat manager. That's not confidential! You know? And if there are only three people in a room and one of them is Russian and the thing that comes out of it is talking about Russian politics you probably can work out who he is. I'm Russian and... But yeah, so the idea is if you've got a room full of 100 people and stuff gets said anything can be shared but you just can't say who said what. The amount of times I've been at a meeting and someone said like Chatham House rule, yeah. I guess everyone just figures you can't repeat what's been said inside here but no once again Glenn dropped some fact bombs on us there really good stuff! I'm now going to go away and think about all the things that i can repeat that I previously thought I couldn't

34:08 I'll have to do like a one of those regressive hypnotherapy things and take me back, find some random thoughts. That's scary that's scary i wouldn't do that if i've forgotten about it probably is because i've repressed the memory the good things that would come out of it would not be worth the bad things I would totally do a total recall if i could. You know, just going in and just changing parts of your memory and getting rid of some bad shit and putting some new random good stuff into play that happened even if it didn't. Yeah but again Elon...I heard his podcast talking about us being able to do things like that. Sign me up! Take all our money! Our hard drive and be able to access them better

34:56 Yeah I think there's, well oh my god that was throwing up some twisted thoughts in my mind. Yeah let's just stick to the fun ones yeah i'd go back and do something like that uh although i have got some shocking pictures of me at some of our university days looking like i had definitely over exerted things! I've no business looking this healthy! By the way have you bought yourself any good birthday presents? No i've primed The Good Lady And then let the kids, basically I've set something up so that she said to the kids have you thought about what your dad might like and they said. I don't know what they said but then she said oh he was talking about this picture the other day when you were on holiday in the beach

35:46 Then of course my boy sort of brings it up in a very casual way like I didn't know at all. It was so cute, he was like oh you remember that time we were... where would i find the picture of that? So it was great! He did an awesome job in bringing the subject up. That's getting handled and turns out Rosie had some pretty clear ideas which The Good Lady is making happen yeah But no, I think normally i do buy myself some stuff but I bought the Apple Watch. Oh yeah of course you did! About two months ago so... Still loving it

36:24 I am loving it. Can you, have you...I can't work out how to beep stuff with it? You must be surely better at that! Yeah yeah, I still feel a bit weird when I'm getting on the tube and you just don't even have to double tap it, you just put it over the thing and it does its job. The NFC thing, I've worked out how to actually click and beep it. Beep it?! When are we going to beep it? Are you talking about paying for stuff!? Yeah, just there's oh this is going to be awful on podcast but you know you've got your dial there below that. You've got a little button double click it and it brings up your Apple wallet

37:05 And then if you've got like, I've got multiple cards. So i can choose which card I want and yeah Robert's your mother's brother! Happy days happy days look at that honestly I say this...I don't know where my debit card is it's in my house somewhere I've got no idea where it is but I've been using it for six months on my phone and on my watch I don't know where the actual card is but the thing's loaded on absolutely mega so Glen we're at 37 minutes right? Do you remember last week we tried to play The Advert Game The advert game, I do remember last week in the advert game. I've got it sorted right? I've got it sorted! I can now do audio and visual right so for our podcast listeners you're going to get the audio... You remember when there was adverts on TV shows and you couldn't skip them at all? In America they come flipping every five minutes but in UK we just used to get a nice little advert break in the middle and at the end right? Just enough time for you to get to the toilet and back

38:01 Yeah, actually quite useful and the adverts were much better back then than they are now. So my brother and I obviously to fill this void of time, this lost time we created a game called The Advert Game where as the advert came up you had to guess what the advert was first person to guess it got the point at the end of the advert break there obviously you had a winner no doubt Disagreed about the points and that turned into a fight. But, premise of the game is all good now you're going to be able to turn around here Glen because he's gonna put the mask on right do that share screen we're already sharing screen after flipping share screen and we want the audio as well

38:48 So am I allowed to watch the advert? Have i just got to listen to it. It's coming right here we go first advert Can I watch it can I watch it ? I don't know well that doesn't really work... Is it have I gotta get it by just sound you can watch if you want yeah yeah You can watch it in the true essence of the game my brother and I will be watching okay here we go Timothee Oh this is um flake chocolate! It is flake chocolate, can you hear it Yeah, yeah. Properly. Well enough I can hear it enough. It should be coming through the headphones Yes that is the Flake advert Very sensual she's soaking wet She's eating chocolate like she's doing a blowjob basically That's all it was

39:46 Actually gave me the horn. I was watching, like... I never realised that advert was so horny! Actually gave me the horn So next advert This is gonna be easy as soon you see the picture You're gonna get it Can you get it from that? No, no, I'm deliberately not looking underneath I bloody remember this What was it? Oh, no Press play Every sportsman must decide on which sport to concentrate. Oh, this is a beer advert! Hofmeister or something like that? Hofmeister follow the bear! There we go two points to Glenn aka A Dating Dad. Because that would have been around in the 80s and of course I was only a kid in the eighties so I was born in 1980 So yeah really digging into my memory banks here. Hofmeister a great lager follow the bear Great lager follow the bear

40:40 Look at those cans as well. I know, proper adverts right here comes a classic third and final advert see if you can take it home with three out of three. Oh this is JR Hartley and this is the Yellow Pages. Oh you do lovely yes my name J.R. Hartley! Oh the days when you had... The Yellow Pages was a thing, there was no Amazon he's going from bookshop to bookshop to bookshop to find his own damn book and with the expectation that he would eventually find it You can't do that now If you're going down, the idea that you could actually find what you want is slim at best

41:32 Twisted, you can take your phone out and order the bloody thing and have it delivered next day but there you are in tech. Not even a next day so I got a little bit of extra money this month um and uh i decided to treat myself! I was gonna...I was sitting laying in bed on my toilet listening to my Echo, my Amazon Echo thing It's a first gen one, it sounds alright but I'm sure they must be better, and so I invested in Amazon Echo Studios. And it's got, instead of one little 15 watt, it's got 300 watts of power or something like that. I saw your Twitter picture on it if you're not following Glenn at a dating dad on Twitter yet then please do! I saw your post about it and and I'm the same as you...I can't buy the most basic one there's gotta be a better one and it does look meaty does it sound good?

42:31 Oh yes, it's glorious. It's really solid nice sound but then as I was reading so i did my due diligence um...I noticed a few people saying oh and they're brilliant when you've got two of them in stereo! So okay but yeah they're not dirt cheap they're about 190 quid or something like that But then as soon as I got one it was so good I'm like fuck Now I know that something can be better and not just that, everyone keeps saying oh and there's a sub you can get as well. And it looks cool and you can just put it down on the really adds the low end. So this thing arrived at 10am in the morning

43:15 And by 8pm that night, the other two things had turned up at my house because I decided that's it. Prime is so dangerous because you can just get it instantly same day delivery not even next day delivery this is same-day delivery! You know in Chitty Bang Bang yeah when the Baron Blomquist gets his car and they put it down in the cellar and all the old blokes who are like Scientists are trying to work it out. The Roses of Success! Yes, all other shops look at Amazon Prime they're like oh god how do they bloody do this? Get me a car that flies get get me shopping that can be delivered in the same day. It's dangerous

44:08 Well I'm not kidding and this isn't an exaggeration. I spent that whole night laying in bed listening to the beautiful sounds, the glorious music! And had it loud...I was giggling to myself at how good it sounded. Sometimes you buy something that's expensive and you regret it but this is one of those things where I bought it and I'm never going to regret having this Beautiful sound. I'm all in with you on that, some things just have to be get the premium version You do need to update your dating profile now because a future girlfriend has to be tuned into this she has to appreciate these things as much surely

44:53 Oh yeah, this is the thing I've tried to... I'm curating my bedroom for the better my bedroom gets in terms of a place to just spend time and enjoy it even without me involved. The fewer women are getting to see my bedroom! So i think my next house might just have a slab on the floor and uh and a dirty old blanket because you know what that might even out the odds a little bit? The universe no no I think you're narrowing it down So that the perfect, it's like a cut, like a silhouette. Like Cinderella's slipper when she turns up she will just fit in perfectly and she'll be an audiophile and she'll like London... That is the plan! And I've decided, someone reminded me of it we talked about that photo pub crawl

45:49 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up Excellent. Well, Rick let's get in touch and go along and we shall work out some awesome places around the greatest city in the world to take some brilliant photos! And if any other Team Superdad people want to come even if you don't want to get photos taken for your dating profile... If you just wanna come for a nice pub crawl why not? It is a perfect excuse to see some of the greatest bars in the world

46:34 And I'm going to say, in my opinion... Women are welcome on the show because there's a good chance that The Good Lady would like to come to this. I'd love it if she could bring other friends Glen! This could be good Yeah, yeah this is part of it. I'm going to put it out on Twitter as well so we don't know who's gonna turn up and there will be women there who want to have their photos taken So as much as its not a matchmaking-y type event There will probably be single people there And you can mingle and at worst You can big me up That's all I am asking It just...I wanna fleet a wing man that's all If you like good sound in the bedroom Glenn

47:16 Artificially created sound. But if you want to contribute to that, by all means I'm sure i can get some sort of karaoke machine! Well listen, I've got something to tell you about the relationship update so did you see my video at the end of the duathlon the other week? No no I saw like a few seconds at the start but I didn't think it was relevant because I wanted to speak to you about it So This kind of crept up on me, right? I'm quite an all-in type person. So and so i'm quite emotionally led so when things are going well like it can get a bit carried away from me hence how I ended up proposing to my former wife after being together for six weeks. So I have been conscious of keeping all things in check but it just kind of crept up on me

48:08 As I'm talking about the duathlon and I was like, oh yeah! And it was absolutely mega to finish and have someone there. Someone you look forward to seeing. Someone that you love. Someone that... I was like whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Sweet child o' mine back up! Was that? It just came out. It just came out. Yeah, I dropped the L-bomb. The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up

49:03 Inadvertently said it, but very naturally said it. And by the way after that we sat and hung out by the car as everybody kind of left and the sun was shining and we were just sat literally by the car hanging out chatting some were shining on us my legs were throbbing like a bastard! It was just lush it felt really cool to be with someone who's I So yeah, so I'm enjoying things developing. And what I want to say to our Team Superdad audience is that 47 as I am going to be on Wednesday... I know what I want out of a relationship now and I know what a dickhead I've been in the past

50:27 And I think having that clarity and confidence. And being really upfront and honest about things right from the start, like nothing really hidden. What I want how I feel... And meeting someone who's very much my equal in those ways she's kind of the same so one minute we're talking about health and not very well this or doing all that then we talk about work and ideas for that and then with having to laugh about face favourite movies and what type of gin and tonic we're having. So it's just...

51:04 Plus she's fit as hell, so like every time I see her I go oh my gosh this is epic. So yeah it just came out it just came out so what I'm saying is that it's important to be clear about what you want but then when something that is exactly what you want walks into your life...I kind of couldn't help myself really So it's cool. I think, uh...I see a lot of single dad groups and parenting groups and people talking about oh i can't this, can't find someone, it's not worth it no one loves me what's the point? Literally so much what's the point? What's the point? Love is the point! Yeah Those those people can't have ever felt love

51:54 Because anyone who's ever felt love properly... Love doesn't last all the time and things happen, and life happens. And it doesn't last forever perhaps but while it lasts It imprints upon you, it changes you and its addictive in a way that feels so good That is worth the pain, thats worth any problems that go along with if does end for all of these amazing things And so to realise you're feeling that way and you've got that within you still, that's the point. That's the point of life! What's the point of life if you're not going to love? You don't feel all the happiness that could bring...You can love yourself by all means I always say my life is a 10 out of 10. I feel absolutely solid happy and this sort stuff but with the right person to love it will be 11 out of 10

52:53 That's what we're all aiming for. That's what we're hoping for and I'm so chuffed that you're on that path and you feeling that side of things Yeah, it's good to let yourself open It's good to notice. Good to smell the rain in the morning see a bird in a tree watch the changing color as the Sun come out like if you close to all those things then I don't think you're going to notice that you've fallen in love with someone or that's okay. So, so i guess the next stage is to uh tell her to her face and there's no time limit on that! Oh no... So I have done that already basically? You have?! How'd she take it? Uh she took it well. She-I think she-she.. I think it was

53:59 What am I trying to say? So, I think it was a bit like all. Honestly, I think it was a bit like all but also there's a layer of our communication and connection that has increased since Because I think, given that I'd accidentally said it and then then i said it. I think she was sort of feeling the same way or at least having feelings like that and what followed was a conversation where she's like well um...I feel the same and I'm in this for the long run you know? And we were both like and that doesn't mean anything

54:49 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up I don't want to be with someone that I don't want to be with. Let's enjoy this, you know? Yeah, I guess it's about saying something that is absolutely true in that moment and right at that moment You believe it and you feel it And that's honest How it pans out Is the futures issue But at that moment The fact your both seemingly In the same place And your both looking At the same sort of direction The same sort of future The future will sort itself out but Right now

55:26 That's magical, man. That's a really amazing moment and to know you're in that moment and to acknowledge that and recognise it whilst you're in it rather than looking back in the past and saying oh it was quite good actually I wish I'd realised at the time...that's a huge thing! Yeah, I'm just pondering that yeah I totally agree. I think people who don't let themselves flow I think you're missing stuff. You know, you could spend weeks trying to work out if it was right or not... And i'll tell you something as well this is probably a bit too real for broadcast anyway When you meet someone when I first met the girlfriend she's attractive but you start like oh Is she this? Or is she that? What's wrong with her? Like looking for things that are wrong and

56:29 And to judge people like that on the first, second or third time you've met them isn't right. Like she's way more... She is an attractive woman but she is even more attractive now I don't know, maybe that's the same for everybody. Sometimes you meet someone and fall head over heels in love with them Other times there is a natural connection before the attraction other times you're attracted and then realise they are dickhead To meet someone just be like this is pretty awesome allow different levels to keep coming at me get to know someone deeper and deeper and then fall for them

57:14 Fall for them in more ways. I think people shouldn't put too much on those first few dates, you know? If there's definitely a connection and there is not one but equally if it feels remotely good then go with the flow and allow yourself to get to know the person, enjoy them, start seeing them in different lights, different ways...I'm not a big fan of make-up So the first time I saw her without makeup on, I was like ah there you are and you're even more attractive without make up. I'm a bit weird about makeup. An attractive woman looks generally more attractive without makeup in my opinion drag queens aside

58:02 Yeah, drag queens tend to look more characterful with a face full of slap on it. Yeah I definitely find drag queens more attractive By the way just for the record, slap is like... I don't know if it's Cotty Rhyming Slam but it's slang for makeup! Yes. I'm not advocating anybody goes out and slaps a drag queen because usually they will knock you the fuck out They're badass They are badass I've never seen a drag act, I don't think. Not live? No!

58:40 Oh man, they are a lot of fun. In fact we should go at some point you me and Sharon are going to go to Madame Moo Moos which is kind of a drag club cabaret type evening in Maidstone because we both live in Maidstone or near there or thereabouts and afterwards as a nightclub next door The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up

59:23 Just walk up to them and start dancing and grinding, and embarrassing the shit out of them. And then she's come over to me... ...and she didn't realise I couldn't slap-drop with the best of them! So yeah absolutely went to town it was one of the most enjoyable dance offs i've ever been involved in Well my dancing is very rave like I'm all legs and arms basically. Looks like a daddy long legs on his back, basically! I'll say my style is definitely classed as enthusiastic and that's about the best way you can describe it. I think i'm a way better dancer than I actually am... And that's the way it should be

1:00:12 Just enjoy it. See, you know there's the old phrase dance as if nobody is looking? Fuck that! I'd dance as if everybody's looking and they all think I am the best fucking dancer in the world So here's my best dance slash rave story right we were at a rave underneath this like warehouse thing uh in East London I couldn't tell you where it was because it was middle of night and I didn't drive But it was awesome. It was definitely one of the best parties I've ever been to and at one point, in one of the rooms on a podium at the front there was like pretty high up and as i was on the podium dancing one of the lights shone from across the side

1:01:00 I'm looking at the thousands of people, but also looking at the wall and this kind of dancing The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up I realise that it's my shadow in this overwhelming moment of like, oh my gosh. That's amazing! I kind of overcooked it and slipped off the front of the podium and kinda did this sort of stage dive into a group which was more like a crash basically got a nosebleed which was curious experience as well but

1:01:59 But the moment I realised it was my shadow is ingrained in my memory banks as an... Nice! Ridiculous 19 year old. I think i played rugby the next morning, which is one of the weirdest games of rugby I've ever enjoyed Still off your tits Exactly yeah Next time we do this, Glenn I'll be older. I will be 47. Yeah that's amazing! We haven't really talked about goals and targets so i think i'll do that next week

1:02:34 Every year I kind of have this idea that by the time next year, Rodney it will be like... I'll be a millionaire. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! I hadn't factored in a pandemic, I must admit so the big blip of 2020 doesn't really count but nonetheless i'm not quite where I want to be financially but relationship my kids are great and fit and healthy I've got a mildly successful and hugely enjoyable podcast. And, yeah it's all set to go this time next year Rodney indeed! You'll have nailed all five of the Fs Yes and that is not a drag quintet
