All The Gear No Idea - The Wrap Up #45

00:00 It's got like a spinny wheel. Oh, there we go! We're live it's Monday night hello it's hot as hell and I'm in a strange place...it's actually Glen's kitchen for the wrap-up we are F2F IRL for the first time welcome to The Team Super Dad Wrap Up Roll Theme Welcome to Team Super Dad. Real dads creating their best lives ever, more time, more money, more fun! You are not alone you're on team super dad I can see myself on this screen and i can see you there and i can see you here, and i know that it's like both at the same place. But this is wonderful and i love it! And it's the first time ever... This is amazing! You're muted! What am i muted? What have i done to you?! No wait.. I've muted THIS thing!? Like... Unmute

01:00 Can't unmute your guests because they chose to mute themselves. Well I've muted... So, do i need to unmute on this thing? Oh no you are coming out! No, you're muted on there yeah okay right. Yeah I'm muted here but not muted here which is going through there which is coming out in there and yet.. I mean this is crossing the streams moment This is That's how I got so confused literally crossing the streams goes past us I don't know whether to look at the screen I'm Purely the people we're talking to. Yeah, so thanks for joining us everybody who's coming into the live now I can see you coming in on the screen If you're wondering like what the hell Glen and I are warbling on about We are literally face-to-face in Glens kitchen. I mean, I'm gonna reach out. I'm gonna touch your shoulder You can see that's my hand that's not Jonnies hand

02:05 This is so weird. No, this is really weird it's I feel like I'm at a school disco or something that I don't quite know what to do! This is why you were single for so long! Well quite possibly if I wasn't sweating enough already now I think I'm actually perspiring on my forehead yeah So this is the Team Super Dad Wrap Up Welcome. This is episode 45, we're actually on episode 81 of the Team Super Dad podcast and we do the wrap up on a Monday now. We wrap our week in everything that's happened during the week and during the week I generally get together with someone more civil and intelligent than you or I. Last week was amazing, the bankruptcy one.

02:50 That was just me. Yeah, but that was really good! If you haven't watched it online I'm gonna look at you now if you haven't watched it yet, have a look It's really good and yes, I know you've done all the caveats of your not a financial advisor and all that sort of stuff But the journey you went through And the impact it could have if other people listened to that learned from it and either took some advice or did things differently Do it, watch it learn from it. Yeah thank you! It is a real life experience and yes as you if you go back and watch it you'll see In fact, it's not been out as a podcast. It's in the Team Super Dad. You have to join team super dad. Where do you join teamsuperdad? If you go to teamsuperdad.com group, you can get access into the group and how much does that cost Jonnie? Well nothing! Nothing? Freebie are you sure exactly? You can join The Hero Academy. Oh my god and there's more well The Hero Academy is our eight week accelerator

03:46 Turbocharge your dad's life. But inside the Team Super Dad group, we're just hanging out having a laugh and on Tuesday we do a training session and then so the training stays there for free gratis for about 48 hours And then it just drifts off into The Hero Academy and becomes basically paid-for content but that How I avoided bankruptcy one I think that'll probably stay there because it's such an invaluable conversation. It is something so many dads struggle with, regardless of being a single dad or just being married, money is something people don't talk about! We're not taught how to do money and we look... I was saying to my daughter who has just got her first job the only lessons that I ever got taught as a child was which money lenders you hide from and which money lenders are okay to talk to

04:36 And how to genuinely negotiate with a corner shop because you're getting your benefits cheque in like, a week. Now can I give you some bread and beans and shit in the meantime? That's the money skills that I learned! You don't learn the real stuff that is going to stop you from getting into that mess. Getting it on tick for the new users... Yeah yeah yeah, you have to negotiate with Bill. So basically, you can listen to that and find out the premise of it but It's not as bad, but if it is mainly personal debt like credit cards and stuff like that. Don't panic basically! That's the amazing thing in fact I'll sum it up in three words or two words... Nothing happens! And when the person who told me all about this told me that I didn't believe him and then I did what he told me to do and sure enough nothing happened. Yeah nobody dies

05:29 So if you are listening, then by all means please like subscribe share do the whole thing because we definitely want to spread the word of Team Super Dad to as many dads and families as possible out there. And like I said this is Glen and I's ramble through our week taking a piss fixing the world and letting you guys know what we've been up to when when i was in the fiery pits of being single dad like the early days listening to podcasts that having a bit of a laugh was kind of my saving Saving Grace, my son. Like a lifeline so if you are listening for the first time this was always the intention of the wrap up was that this would be A bit of a laugh and a bit of a lifeline for us all I guess also as a single dad as i am now and have been for awhile You don't always get to go down to pub with your mates

06:15 And And that's what the Wrap Up is about. It's just about hanging out with people and if you're online now, then being able to share your thoughts and be able to share your comments and so on... ...and being part of the conversation with a bunch of guys who just don't know what's going on but are gonna say some stuff see where it goes and yeah hopefully enjoy a drink along the way

07:00 Indeed, as you can see on the screen now I'll bring it up in a second. You can comment and ask a question as we're talking along Sadly i don't always see them It's being grossed! And some of them which channel is? I think its on my personal profile doesn't come out basically but But yeah, it is ferociously hot Glen. We're sat here in the middle of July? Freedom Day! It's freedom day! Freedom from the oppression of not killing people... Are you free to kill people now?! I don't, well a lot of people have been asking what is Freedom Day? That's loads of f***ing bulls**t isn't it. I mean i'm not gonna... normally I mince my words and I'm middle-of-the road you know, I'm f****g live, card carrying lib dem but there's a load of f***ing bollocks in these things. You know there were people protesting today about not being in lockdown

07:58 We're not in lockdown. They say, oh we don't want to wear masks... You're not having to wear masks! It's like what the fuck are you protesting? To win the freedoms you have now got and you're fighting with police about it?! Come on you fucking knob-stained... This is like that bit in Anchorman when the different news teams... Exactly yeah, Channel 6 News What are you fighting for? Well we want masks Ah, you fucking pagan wankers mask twats. But someone asked on Twitter as of today what's the verdict? Are you going to be masking or unmasking? In high density places I think i'll wear a mask in a supermarket if it's busy I think I'll wear a mask probably out of decency for other people

08:48 But then bizarrely, we were talking about going to the match the other day. I'd probably wear the mask on the tube to the match But probably not wear it at the match. I can see why you do that, for me it's the science hasn't changed! The science is exactly the same, the only thing that has changed is politicians willingness to give into the pressure groups That's it, that's the only thing that has changed, the scientists are still saying this is bad, this is dangerous cases are going up again now yes they're not resulting nearly as many deaths but there's still people catching COVID and And so if the science hasn't changed, for me that still means if the preventative method is wear a mask, wear a mask. It doesn't hurt me at all! I agree

09:38 I'll stick a mask on when it's sensible, basically. And I'll be glad not to have to wear one at times when it seemed a bit ridiculous. Like late night in Tesco and there's like clearly me some random mum desperately trying to get nappies because she'd run out of formula or something and our bloke has just finished his shift and the worst one person at the till and we've all got a mask on this doesn't make sense But yeah, so much ridiculous chit-chat on what do you think? What I think is ridiculous. Of course it would... You would feel different if someone close to you had died but... And that's the thing for me as I read a story about somebody in a lift and

10:22 And That's the point. You don't know if you've got COVID because some people can be asymptomatic and so if you genuinely would snog someone who has got COVID, fine, don't wear a mask! If that is sort of your nut job then go for it get yourself out the gene pool but the rest of us we just don't know whether or not we have got COVID It's not about protecting ourselves its about protecting other people

11:08 I'm down with that, yeah. And as for the like let's string Boris up and he's a nutter... I think it's summer! We've got to go for it to see what happens otherwise- Yeah fuck how many people die? Who cares about- No, no, that is a bit hard to say but do you ever watch any of the old World War II stuff on History Channel and stuff? Occasionally It is mad what they used to do They're like um did you know all the British tanks were shit All the British tanks didn't work at all right so well they just made tank after tank it's like oh don't worry we got the mark 2 Shitsville tank right off we go hello Tommy, got a new tank for you brilliant how many? 50 yeah get out there

11:51 All broke down, all blown up. All the German tanks flipping awesome Sherman tanks blah blah It wasn't until the Yanks turned up with their tanks that we started to make progress for the whole rest of the war We were just knocking out Robin Reliance with a gun on the front of it Rodney with a bazooka I used to do that! A Robin Reliance with a makeshift bazooka on the front So yeah i think we're bit like that basically Give it a go, hoping for the best. I'm

13:08 But the only thing we can hope is that the proper test comes back negative and then we're all good to go. Curiously, it has led me and The X having probably one of the friendliest conversations since... not just since we broke up because clearly there was a shit bit before we broke up. Probably the friendliest conversation we've had in about 8 years! All because they've got to self-isolate. So... Oh, I mean silver linings and all that but that's a very thin silver lining around the fucking big cloud! Yeah my boy is gonna miss his last week of primary school that is a bit harsh. Yeah that awful. My oldest daughter she's at primary school and it's her last couple days as well so we're recording this on Monday and so she her last day is on Wednesday um for the last couple of days

14:01 For the few months or so she's been wanting to walk in by herself because she's going to second year and so she wants to get used to walking by herself but for the last couple of days, she was like Dad do you want to walk me to school? And as much as I'd love a Layton, because my eldest daughter she's 16 so i took her to her last day of year 11 recently and I figured I've got to see this. I'm never gonna have the chance to walk my little girl to school again she's just not going to want that! So I had to say yes well totally

14:40 I made a video on Jago's first day at school and it's just super cute. He's five years old and the video starts, what's this video about? Oh this is about my first day at school! You won't have heard of it... It's called Jubilee Primary School and then it goes into so yeah and then I was going to kind of recreate this that's just gone to shit now Well, yeah but I know that they might do some sort of summer get-together or picnic. To recreate the first day of school video basically I'd have to get like a hundred people together. Oh like the full thing? Yeah fair enough! So yeah so that's been...I'm getting kind of used this now and I'm getting more comfortable with seeing you literally

15:27 I'm trying not to look in the camera too much because i look like dog shit. I got a Barcelona shirt, it's got Ronaldinho on the back! I had to teach my kids who Ronaldinho was because they don't appreciate that they're young. Ronaldinho was at his peak in 2006-7. This is the Brazilian player kind of thin face but bit permy hair on top. Big gap tooth didn't sign for Real Madrid because he was too ugly so they signed Beckham instead even though Ronaldinho I was a better player, went to Barcelona won the Ballon d'Or and was basically the Messi before Messi. The only reason they got rid of him was because he was a party boy and he was going to lead Messi off the rails but in 2006 i got a new job at local authority in London at Tattwahammoot's council and within like a few months or so there I realized my director of my service was a massive Woolwich fan

16:23 Now this was the year Woolwich made the Champions League final and so of course on the day of the Champions League final I turned up on an all-staff meeting with 150 people there, everyone else suited and booted. Me sitting there in a Barcelona shirt because they were playing in the finals! And that night of course Barcelona not only beat them but beat them quite well until I photoshopped I got pictures of him, he'd been awarding youth work awards to young people. I photoshopped him out of that awarding things into photos of him awarding Champions League trophy to Ronaldinho and just loads the pictures at the final and just left it on his desk and people in the office were like oh I can't believe you're doing that! That's really mean

17:08 Get beyond, that's beyond the pale. He totally got it! Totally good banter. Exactly if you're going to be there I didn't get fired That's always a measure of how far the banter has been taken yeah Just for the non-viewing listeners, Glen's shirt is quite tight actually. Oh no it is tight now! It wasn't tight when I wore... No shit you're not! But it's really hot today he must be...I mean I'm hot! I'm steaming but for the Euro finals last week I dressed up like Gareth Southgate because obviously there was a sailboat in my boat and it involved putting a waistcoat on

17:48 Now, I thought i'd just be able to grab one of the many waistcoats in my wardrobe and just slip it on. Oh no no no! My friend...I have put on inches for the first time in my life that don't fit into a wedding suit. Ah this is not right!! I've put about an inch and a half around the chest and stomach and everything. Yeah, I am chunky I told you, i don't want to be the one that said... I did say over the last few months. I did say it's happening your full tea. You're looking at me as if I've got fat face! No no you were like I'm fit forever. I'm a unicorn basically

18:37 I found a ways go, it just was there's some of them that were skinny fit. Was it the father? I'm no longer skinny fit! I definitely have standing up home shirts now Super Dad workout, 30 day challenge or basically a 30-day workout.

19:18 And so I got to day 30, in fact... So just because some people might be the first that what the fuck are you doing for 30 days? Is this like 30 days of hardcore stuff cycling. What's the one where you stand up and you're cycling nearly a spin. 30 days of spinning shit like that! It could be if you wanted it to but the point of the 30-day work super dad workout is that whatever level of fitness you're at that's where you join. If you're fit,

20:07 Like I am. Yes you are! You beat me like three minutes or two minutes or one minute on that 10k run, I mean that makes you well fit. I was the teacher at Sunsort's outdoor sports kind of adventure. Come on children come on hurry up this is your own time you're wasting. I was dying! But, point being Super Dad Workout is like a park run. So the people at the front of the race can flip in do a mega time and win the thing. The people who are in the middle are just trying to keep fit and the people at the back want to be there, want to do something, want to get involved. And that's my point

20:58 All dads have to be doing some kind of fitness. You got to because it helps you with work, it helps you with confidence, it helps you with your sex life and else... Let's be honest as a dad I don't know if this is your motivation but for me and it sounds ridiculous but I want to be there to see my grandkids. I want to be there to enjoy time with my kids and so many dads they just don't even think about it, they just think yeah we'll sort it out, it'll be fine and then you get really unfit and it becomes like a proper health issue Yeah And I know I don't wanna get in a position where I can't play football with my kids and then hopefully football with my grandchildren now if I can do something now that's gonna set me up for them what the fuck wouldn't I?

21:39 Growing out of your clothes is a measure of I need to get a bit fitter. Oh, let me be clear this is the these were growing out on my skinny clothes. I've got some what it's super slim or super skinny shit? I used to think yeah, I'll show this up. I'm at most a medium So just look at this clear you've been on dates and worn skinny jeans oh yes Yeah course I have well and okay paint in picture of the outfit so you say you've meeting in a bar. Look like I was wearing denim light clothing Thanks for watching. What kind of shoes? They're a pointy, kind of Winkle Picker type. Yeah yeah yeah... Not quite! But no I've worn relatively tight and it's funny because i'm a slender guy um you kinda- Was was. I'm hardly fucking the hurricane. It's more of a ponche. No it's more of a ponche. Is a ponche. I actually now have like I can sit in here and- It's hanging over. It's slightly chubby. Have you gone up in waist size?

22:38 No, because it's slightly over that so my waist is still there but I've got some bulk around above that. The thing is it's weird, I don't dislike how I look, I just want to be toned and shit like that. I just wanna look like some sort of Greek god basically. Yeah but then when you... That's the whole point you don't wanna look a Greek god! Because that would take a massive amount of effort. Whoa, whoa what? I didn't say I don't want to put any F into it! I don't want to do any effort, I just want to look like this if you can click your fingers and make it happen then I'm signing up. Well I can! It's about doing it consistently that's the whole point the Team Super Dad workout is you're going to just get down do 15 minutes exercise each day ideally at least one 5k run or walk in the week

23:27 30 minutes should be anyone's target for 5k basically. So if you... I do, i do 5K in about 26 minutes Yeah no I know that and this is a message for those people that can't do that You know they couch the 5k kind of crew which is bloody brilliant by the way Ah yeah! The amount of people who've been inspired to just start doing stuff and they've ended up doing absolutely incredible like they run way more miles than I ever have done Oh I have to shut my mouth when people turn back to catch the 5k because You can't do a fucking 5k, what are you talking about? So I have to go all diplomatic. The inner voice says Jonnie...

24:03 Be gracious. It's good that they're exercising. Yeah, we're not all like you my friend We're not someone who can just do 30 hours of exercise every day. No because I do have... Every single day! ...it's not diagnosed but i do have some kind of mild Tourette's Okay If there's something that you shouldn't say My brain just for kicks You haven't got the inside voice? No, no Just for kicks my brain goes I'm Thanks for watching.

24:56 It smells good, what is it? Burnt rabbit. So clearly it's not funny. No that is funny. Inappropriate but not funny. So the lads are laughing and I'm kind of going oh no... But it just came out and that's the point if you say don't mention the war yeah I'm like you invaded Poland you know just kind of comes out so Is that Tourette's? I mean it definitely is rudeness. I mean whether you've got an excuse for it, is another discussion!

25:37 Oh well, that's the sort of thing I've dropped that clangor at weddings as well. I know we got some weddings coming up summer, Summer Weddings Freedom Day there was people getting married today with people at the wedding. It was a classic dad's...well classic blokes one. I was at our friend's wedding and I said to the bride's sister luckily it wasn't the bride but I said to the bride's sister and it was actually his sister-in-law She looked like she was having a baby. No, no, whoa, whoa! So I go... Just, just... No mate? Mate?! I know, I know. I mean...? I did it. I can see where this is going but you didn't do it. You can't do it. There's no way there's no...you just... She took it quite well she said, no I had them about eight months ago and I'm still really fat so she just...

26:22 She sort of laughed it up. I was more mortified than she was. Yeah, I would have...I just don't know what I'd done in that situation! The good thing for me is because I've done it so often I'm okay with how much of a hole I put myself in and I just have to kind of fall on the sword and kinda go oh my gosh I'm so sorry and equally, I didn't mean it. But also i'm trying not to laugh as well because... Yeah because it is quite funny as well! It's quite funny yeah. And the thing is that I've got to avoid this, my sister's wedding on Friday um my sister getting married on Friday she's got a five o'clock wedding which is quite American you know? I've not been too many friday night weddings oh that is quite american yes but british

27:11 If you translate last Sunday's Euros, basically the blokes are going to get together at lunchtime. This has got disaster written all over it. Yeah we're getting... I mean this is gonna be a bad...I've got my kids that night! Now after...now i think I probably shared on the last pod how unhappy my ex-wife was about the fact that We shall see. He got married... It was his first alcohol experience that you're aware of? Not his first alcohol experience, but his first drunken experience and how he got a bit drunk and then was violently aware of the after effects of that the next day around his mum's house

28:00 So it's like you did a poo in a bag and gave it to someone. Absolutely, shut that front door you can deal with that yourself! But she's... normally on Friday night we do the handover and this time around I think she said look we can either do it so you can I hope you enjoyed this podcast and if so, please give it a thumbs up. Well, yes you don't want that. But equally it's because it is a wedding now I know this isn't a single dad podcast but I am a single dad and I'm turning up to this wedding now. Now I've been to a few weddings since I've been single and if was at our weddings are in great place to meet people

28:59 How many women do you think are single women? Out of all the women that have attended every wedding I've been to since, I've been thinking over four and a half years. How many single women have there been there? Low! I think very few single women are at weddings because it's a couple still. Even single brides, you're getting invited because your family... Yeah yeah It messes up the table plan. You got like an odd sleigh. And they'd been one single woman and she was the mother of bride and she was not up for it I had to ask her because she knew. So one single woman, my future brother-in-law to be has been messaging and sorting out stuff for the grooms party and what roles we're doing now and he was like can you get this? And do this? When the first dance comes along will do that first bit then halfway through I'll kind of nod and if you could all just grab your missus and join us on a dance floor. Mate what am i going to do?

29:55 I'm not sensitive about it, nothing. Cheers! Yeah how... what? I mean i could draft people in but this is a COVID restricted wedding and I tell you what I've popped it onto Twitter. I've had lots of offers of women who would say yeah I'll turn up and just do the dance um but but I can't because it's such a COVID restricted wedding we can't just invite random people so I can't even use it as like an excuse to get a random woman into enjoy the evening with me oh that could be whack you couldn't like Plus, like a plus one strategy. Is this is dating strategy or the plus one strategy? Oh totally! I would happily invite a plus-one if it wasn't COVID but equally if anyone out there any... I'll say attract to anyone you know I can love a good wedding If someone needs a plus 1 I'm a bloody brilliant plus1

30:43 And I will happily turn up to any wedding and as long as you give me a bit of a briefing about how we met, romance and that sort of shit. What i should know what shouldn't know...I will woo the shit out of your family! So they will keep off your back for months and months about whether you're going out meeting people. I can destroy it! It'll be great! It's like a male escort basically? Yes I'm happy to be pimped out people. I mean, i'm looking down the camera saying yeah pimp this dad! No no but to pull it back from that line of work... It's a plus one strategy. I think is a whole new dating strategy called the Plus One Strategy and it's a fun way to meet

31:38 You look in, there's not like a commitment there either. There's not an awkwardness about being stuck with people and those people need someone they want someone fun to go with Oh I'll be the life of the party Maybe people could leave a review of how good a plus one you were Rate my date? Yeah rate my plus one yeah And then is it like an extras or advanced section where we do a drop down for extras? Oh that's negotiable Yeah, I mean that's outside the rates. I'll turn up for travel rates and a couple of drinks but you know beyond that we have to negotiate Do you have a rider? No travel lodge! No Premier Inn for very serious reasons They do they do but i've got my reasons Lenny Henry did bad things to me

32:32 That is brilliant. Oh man, okay it's a whole new thing we should start a website. Yeah yeah. Plus funds could be a new dating phenomenon I got set an invite, obviously slightly outside of my remit right now but i got sent an invite for a it was a music-based dating app. Oh yeah and tell me more what do you mean? It's like Spotify You My Guy? No! I'd have to dig out the stuff that is all on Facebook invites and stuff as this... basically the premise is that If we like the same music, then the kind of places we go our time of life age interests. Like music can define so much about a person and so literally your dating profile is your musical taste. So what would be if you know... You see that in your photos or what would be your top five? Either tracks or albums or artists that you had put down that would absolutely describe who you are as a person

33:30 Oh that's deep. I don't think i can answer that without sitting here for ages and completely ruining the pod or the live stream but in a slightly different answer to your question I was thinking the other night about what would my musical... if i was to illustrate my life as a musical timeline. Yeah, okay so it does kind of answer the question uh we were driving in the car and David Bowie came on. David Bowie or Barry? Would it be Bowie? Bowie? I don't know. Oh yeah! I don't know though. David Bowie. I'd say Bowie rather than Bowie So let's dance put on your red shoes and dance. Post Ziggy Stardust Fate Yes Okay

34:08 Whereas I think Ziggy Sardar is the greatest album of all time. But there's a story! Yeah, it is. No not the album, I got bought at an airport we were going on a skiing holiday and I was like what albums should I buy? My step-mom said you should get the David Bowie Let's Dance Album or Cassette. On cassette yeah that would have been quite advanced for that time as well so wouldn't have been cheap I'm Blues and Soul, Best Of. It was all those kind of things. Blues Brothers the movie that's how I ended up discovering Aretha Franklin and then then i had a little dabble with some soft rock Heart and Def Leppard. Okay the one on drummer? Yes yeah

35:11 Pour some sugar on me, that album. And then I hated school discos the whole 80s kind of thing it just was my sister lived with us at the time just didn't get it at all she didn't tune in musically to that at all. Are they still going? Who? School discos! I feel like school discos now are like 2000's and 2010's... I don't know well could be too cool for school kids now to have a school disco yeah Drinking bottles of Thunderbirds or whatever the off-licenses would sell you in the park. Smirnoff Ice, I love a Smirnoff ice! That's showing your age there was no such Alco Pops when i was trying to blag school disco booze off the offee it was thunder birds or basically anything they'd sell you doing swigs in the park. So Heart, Def Leppard

36:05 Thanks for watching. I'm Wrap, like NWA and Public Enemy and those sorts of times. And then on D-Lite...and that's when the house music turned up! God yeah but that almost segues into Garage

36:50 In some ways as well, it kind of... House music kind of there was a journey that kind of bled it into Garage. That for me was the... because house obviously had its thing but then it evolved a little bit. Especially in London which is where you work! Yeah, I was proper race London yeah! So did you have a garage thing? Well there was a garage but the annoying thing is I didn't get on that wave. For me, music when i was growing up if it had guitars and it was heavy and great... It was all about the guitar music and sticky dancefloors And it was either you've got the grungers or you've got the trendies. The trendies were people who were into the garage and pop music, that sort of shit. My ex used to go to the same school when she was in the same year with classes on what they called Blazing Squad.

37:40 I So you're going back now and catching up on... are we talking like proper

38:22 So, we're going to start with a bit of mainstream. Are we clubbing underground garage or are we talking about mainstream? Well I'll start with the mainstream and there is some underground stuff in there that's slightly less common but i absolutely loved it! But its definitely a journey that im on and if anyone does know any really cool garage tracks tell me give me tips because you don't find them by accident There are about two or three Team Super Dad playlists and I keep saying in the group, like oh let's have your top 10 or whatever. Okay so we'll try and kick this off again um come on team super dad stop ignoring the playlist posts in the team superdad groups. Are they collaborative? Yes teamsuperdad.com for slash groups get yourself in a group

39:17 We've got a UK Garage playlist and we'll do it like as a present for Glen. I love it, absolutely love it! Yeah yeah you could go... It's like the old CDs when you had to write on the CD's. Old CDs? I'm thinking old tapes where you write onto the tape and Glen goes straight to old CDs that's what eight years will do to ya. Seven years. You gotta burn the cd and write it on there in this weird marker pen and just hope you don't get it wrong Even though I'm only seven years older than you. It's such a difference, so when i went traveling around the world... ...I had a CD player and on that CD I got like- You know the burning CDs? You used to get like uh a pack of CDs that you could burn in kind of a plastic case yeah um and so I basically burned a load of CDs because you could burn two albums onto one disc if you were care- If you knew what we're doing! And burned- and I could only take enough music to fill that cut-that plastic case

40:12 And so I had about 10, 15, 20 albums to take me around the entire globe. Whereas then you go on seven years and you've got Spotify... not Spotify but you had iTunes? iPad yeah! An iPod yeah! So people could take Hundreds of albums and now when you've got Spotify, you've got every album in the fucking world. And so for me it detracts because you don't listen to the same album over and over again You don't appreciate it as much I know! So yesterday I took my girls shopping To get stuff for my sister's wedding We called them treasure shops, they're charity shops but yanno its full of treasure Let's look at the albums...I found now three

40:56 Now 3, with a pig on the front. It's got a pig on the front! You might well do but now three from 1984 and it was brilliant and so you're sitting there thinking I'm just gonna listen to it this is what about sort of album you would have bought and you were listening to over and over and over again totally I uh now three track list I loved the Now album back in that time. Annoyingly though, there'd always be a couple of shit songs that you hated and then you have to work out how much to fast forward them on your Walkman. Oh what if they were on cassette? Yeah okay so instantly i can see it was good song... Duran Duran The Reflex, oh uh it's got some Bob Marley And The Wailers um ah love White Lions

41:56 Two tries! Probably the top 10 now albums of all time. Obviously Now 34 is the best, that's beyond your question but after Now 34 this is quality. Name a couple of other great tracks? I'm just trying to bring it up but its got some weird Google page where...

42:42 Here we go. Yeah, no I've got a touch. Oh here we go. Pick me up before you go guys. Yep bit of wham on there. Our style counts for the best thing? Banana Rama, Robert De Niro's Waiting. Not a great song but pop... Not their best but it was except today most of today's now albums are just cack! Cindy Lauper Time After Time. Oh that's a beautiful song. I can see this is Phil Collins' song but its not one his best ones It's not but its still quite good one actually So obviously we've got The Reflex by Duran Duran, Sister Sledge has got the locomotion on there. Two Tribes obviously White Lines is on there Nelson Mandela my son I was listening to it today with my eight-year old and he said dad why are they singing about freeing Nutella?

43:39 And I said, what are you talking about? He said it's free. Where did Nutella? No! It's Free Nelson Mandela. I thought let's not try and explain the whole thing to him. Especially this week... Have you seen what is going on in South Africa? No, I haven't What do you mean you haven't? I havn't see what is happening in South Africa The place has gone mad Has it? They've like teared up the whole country Oh what?! Literally burnt- they're gone into a shopping mall yeah Yeah Looted the whole place And then, not a single thing in there. Not even the fittings in the shop. They just take that and then set fire to it. The only shop has not touched a bookshop

44:22 I mean firstly you've got to respect them for...I'd like to think they value knowledge as opposed to just want to nick it. No, so then they've done the same thing with all supermarkets and now all of the roads are just covered in debris and abandoned cars and then they're all like...and I say South Africa's a big country right? So massive generalisation here but...so then they've headed down to the ports Because there's nothing left in the shops so we'll go to where they keep the stuff when it comes off the ships. So they've gone down and ransacked all the warehouses and the docks but smashed what was left of that as well, so they smashed up all the infrastructure and madness! And scary stuff like... Scary because that's just what humans could degenerate into basically I think you hope that we'd move past that sort of shit but it seems like we haven't

45:16 Well we can only be a couple of bad lockdowns away from... Yeah after the toilet roll wars of last year. I know exactly, exactly! How are we doing on our running order, Glen? I can see summer holidays is- Glen Granholm It is the summer holiday. Have you planned anything? Well, there's two things so I'm lucky enough that I get unlimited annual leave. Oh yes you keep saying this! I accidentally ask you about this and then you get to say that... It's

46:11 Fucking good day. I can't go into too much detail because we haven't actually got the contract signed, but today um i've won or been told that we've won two government contracts that i've been like working on for a month so two contracts with one shortlisted for another and uh another London borough said they absolutely want to work with us and they're active pursuing it and i found in NHS contracts and they are desperate to work with us as well So today has been one of the best professional days I've ever had and i'm sitting here thinking, I should be on holiday a lot more often if this is what's happening. Just avoid those South African table requests yeah? This is just the UK so I'm alright with this! So I booked off every week I've got with my kids which is every other week so over the summer um...I've booked off so I've got uh we this week I'm off and then next week I'm working, the week after I'm off and so until September

47:06 But are you normally... it doesn't strike me as if you're being normal. I've got a couple of mates, i think its their wives that are actually really organised rather than them? Yeah but the thing is I booked it off but only realised last week so haven't booked anything for this week other than my sister's wedding And I'm

48:03 So I booked a load of kids, like four or five kids tickets. My kids plus if they want to take a friend and I bought two adult tickets. I don't know why but I thought let's see if I can find someone but then realised that as I was chatting um...I've invited my mum to come and do it! And I wish I could find some sexy lady to do it with The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Team Super Dad, teamsuperdad.com And

48:59 And And it turns out the next door has been doing flushables. Flushable wipes that aren't flushing! So they clogged it all up and back some... No, none of those flushables are flipping flushables Yeah don't buy flushables or if you do buy flushables, don't flush them. They're totally bad for the environment yeah they're bad but I wasn't mocking your toilet but it's an old toilet and it was just amazing how it's like an old car one of those big old American cars

49:45 It's It does a job, it keeps the roof over my kids head. Of course it does but is in...it's just interesting how things have evolved. Yeah like massively! Toilet well how big the toilet? Well obviously the toilets are going to be too big yeah How much water? Well we don't charge for water, we don't measure water so obviously we need loads of water and not just big avocados aswell I mean all the everything in this whole house

50:32 It's awful. You would gut it, you would absolutely... If I bought this place, I'd gut it and start again but- We had a... When my dad broke up with our stepmom for awhile when we were kids, we rented a house. It was bad! We went from like really pucker cool house big family house he picked us up from the airport in an old green Granada estate yeah there was like The Blues Brothers I'm out.

51:16 So, this bathroom in this rented house. Dark green. The tiles and the suite like the toilet, the bath and the sink. What was it? Dark green. A dark green bath, toilet and sink with kind of a jungle kind of effect tiling. So basically really dark Quite moody bathroom. I see TikTok and obviously TikTok reflects what you're looking for, so loads of my TikTok is renovations and stuff And I see people looking at stuff that was done in the 90s or 2000's or 2010 saying oh yeah this is so old fashioned I'm going to gut it and start again Fuck off! That's three generations newer than mine and your getting rid of it? Come on! Give me a bone

52:04 That's why I'd quite like to get into property development. Oh, definitely would! Yeah yeah...I don't even know why i haven't? Of all the stupid things- It costs a fortune to start with! I know but when you watch these property investment clubs they're like oh what do you need to do first of all is be a property sourcer or get someone else's money buy a property flip it give them back their money and then you're off and running they make it sound so easy. Like it is easy if you've got access to 60 or 70 grand up front The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Team Super Dad, teamsuperdad.com I don't know someone who's going to give me 60 grand, clearly. But part of me thinks it would be easy to find someone that has 60 grand and I just need to go get the knowledge first. Yeah like because if... I could do it! I could absolutely do it and again there are these TikTok accounts or people who have just teamed up with someone and just said you know what we're gonna team up we're gonna make this happen we can buy it and flip it and they they do it. I know I could absolutely renovate a place that- I could renovate the shit out of it

53:01 And I've got half my time free as well. So what else am i going to do? Yeah and a fat bonus coming so you're gonna be sweet as! It's been a good year but it's just, you need that starting point and it just doesn't happen for most people. If people have been listening carefully right they will have noticed that we are basically like a podcast tinder profile where we've just primed you up for the last 45 minutes You know, we've talked about how much fun you are at a wedding. We've talked about how your fitness regime is incoming. I'm proper fit people! We've just dipped in there like you got an eye for interior... I know my chinks from my joints here. Yeah yeah um you like to hang out at royal palaces and other kind of social... It happens i'm cultured as shit

53:50 You'll consider it towards your mother. I love me mum! Yeah, your kids friends like you... Well some of them liked me and some were scared of me So this is like right so if you're listening ladies husbands of ladies also i think this is a good thing rather than the dating apps which i think are a shocking drain on people's mental health and resilience they are awful Is that you ask a friend Who knows you and who actually would like you to be happy. You say, do you know anyone single? Because I would like to not be single anymore and we could put us together it's going to be fine yeah that's the strategy okay yeah well i hope about i'll have more more success through this podcast than i have in four and a half years how have i told i've asked you before how many people my friends have set me up for four and a half years with is it low or high

54:41 So four and a half years. I know lots of people... Based on my experience, it'll be almost zero? It is zero! Not a single friend has said you know what, I think I've got the perfect person to introduce you to. Whatever it's worked out or not isn't relevant but not a single person has said I think I know someone who will set you up with so if we can beat that then go for it Well one is double zero Well mathematically we have to talk about this But I get where you're coming from. You tell me that's not true? We've got some learning to do! It is infinitely larger, it is absolutely is so one of my girlfriend's best mates who I've known since I was 14 we had a barbecue on and well we can leave people with this okay because he has an important message

55:36 So she said, we're having a barbecue on Sunday. We had a few beers at the time... Oh well not that many for me actually! During my whole day we worked out I said on Sunday when i was feeling a bit delicate I was like oh feel it but I feel a bit hungover so then Joe said to me how much did you drink? I don't think you drank that much did you? And I said oh I think had about four maybe five bottles of bud, a can of magners and a can of strongbow yeah about same as my son then. That's about four pints across the whole day I'm So I go, well how long did you tell her that we would get along for? Oh right so she was saying that you would have got on before... She was trying to take credit for setting us up. Ah okay! And i to which i said well i pinged her on facebook dating yeah so you know don't know how that works and she said well i told him long before that that you'd be good together and i said well i saw you swimming like once a week for about a year and a half why didn't you tell me

56:45 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Team Super Dad, teamsuperdad.com Good women who know you reasonably well will have single friends who they are desperate to meet someone nice. Oh, I understand. And so dads if you listen, I think a good strategy is rather than pour too much time and despair into Tinder etc., is conjure up the kind of person you'd like to be with

57:25 Come up with some key points as we have done for Glen tonight about you know qualities and attributes, interests musical tastes. Oh yeah! We've done the whole flipping... Yeah I'm absolutely loath to bear here So do that and then say to those people Do you know anyone who think that i would get on well with because I got no other idea of how to meet anybody It's a solid tactic though, it is indeed. Okay so Dads give us feedback on that we want to know how that's gone. I do have a couple of people but

58:02 I'm stuck doing solo stuff. There's this website called HelloSolo, they're brilliant so if anyone is single and you want to do stuff which isn't just like speed dating...I do speed date but what they do is arrange activities well companies who arrange activities do it through them And I'm

59:11 And it will happen one day but I've done everything i can and so I'm just gonna start doing stuff for myself. And if something happens great, if not then at least I know where to smoke a piece of ham or whatever it is! I'm just going to learn some shit and see what happens yeah The Runner played golf A bit of golf, yeah maybe. I might do some fire walking if i can find somewhere that's going to do fire walking Team Super Dad is gonna do a fire walk in England yes we are with the Beardy Man Adventure Crew in North Wales um...I keep saying September but September bloody soon it is only about six or seven weeks away yeah so might not be September

59:52 Anyway, watch this space for Team Super Dad events. Glen this has been fun! It was really uncomfortable to start with like a first dance at a school disco like I said do i put my hand on her arse or whatever and now we just sat across the table... I almost forgot the microphone. I know it's really good. I've no idea if it's going to bloody work you know? We did a test run only one way to find out. So we are gonna press end broadcast in a second If you've enjoyed this, any listeners watchers if you've enjoyed this or did we get any comments? No I don't think it is. Because we didn't know it was going to work, we didn't really tease this out. No! Tell you what, if you're listening on the replay or listening on the podcast let us know how you would like us to tell you that the next episode is out
