Pancake Overload - The Wrap Up #28

00:02 Boom, it's Friday. It's that time of the week. It's the Wrap Up and we're here for celebrating the end of our week. Dads, mums, Martians everyone you're welcome let's do this! 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 Hey, welcome. Welcome it is that time of the week again the end of the week which can only mean The Wrap Up is here Glenn aka A Dating Dad and myself representing all of Team Superdad I'm Jonnie Jensen It's good to see you all Glenn how's it going?

00:49 Oh it's good, I love the fact you mentioned the Martians because obviously we've got the new martian lander. Mars is the only planet in the known universe to be inhabited solely by robots and i'm a massive, massive geek and I f***ing love it! I love that we've got another robot on mars You know what? We haven't actually spoken about this, but it has occurred to me in a Seinfeld-esque way. Like just this random sort of situational humor where like we the humans billions of miles away or however exactly far we are, we keep sending these little like... I think there's loads of people on Mars yeah and they go like uh it's going to arrive in two days time and everyone's

01:35 What are they going to send this time? And then they're just laughing at this remote control airplane. Oh, it's crashed! Yeah, they got like bookies betting on it is he gonna land? They're Martians actually love us they think we're hilarious. It's like Big Brother yeah Look at this cute, oh they've sent a buggy this time. It's got a camera on the front like chopping crumbs in front of it. The thing is what I think we really need to do it just instead of sending all these like really multi-million pound kind of exploratory vehicles just take something from Robot Wars and take that up there let it just get land there fuck shit up and then they'll know who the real masters are that sold so smart Sir Lancelot chucking in Lancelot

02:24 Yeah, yeah. Was it Lance? I know you because there was the one which had a lance with kind of the jaws of death from... House robots! We're talking house robots here right? There are five house robots and oh so Killalot. Matilda, Sergeant Death, Sergeant Bash. And then there was the one with the jaws that kind of went like that...

03:10 Shice, Dead Metal, Sgt. Bash, Mr. Psycho, Growler... Who came up with Growler? Someone! That was the T-boy he goes call one of them Growler Which is basically scouse for Fanny, basically. I love that you explained that though! I love that you took the time to just explain the joke for non-British listeners. Non British listeners yeah okay right she had a nice go at it. Cassius Chrome? Cassius Chrome we've never even heard of that one. It was shit it looked like some sort of weird porn robot this ratman

03:52 Okay, so clearly Growler and Cassius Crone were just like the apprentice engineer who was on work experience. What a lovely way to start the show, Love Robot Wars. Still going strong actually still. It was great it was one of the best things from the 90's but in a minute I want to talk to you about some other great things from the 90's but not until i found out how your week was well Glenn pretty random obviously um gone for valentine because this whole Easter moving thing right is you don't always get Valentine's Day and Pancake day together easter's linked to pancake day isn't

04:46 Yeah, you get the start of Lent. Like 40 days Jesus wandered in the wilderness for 40 days and nights that's why... Wait, isn't it attached to Pancake Day? I think so yeah! That's right at the start of Lent Oh mate, but i know i was just doing the comic effects Oh, OK. The rampant commercialism of anything that you can make money off of. You know, woe betide it's got any religious links yet? So we covered that off and my obliviousness to humour is about as good as my gaydar there we go! I had a walking date on Sunday

05:27 Which, uh... A walking date. As in a romantic date? Uh well yeah you know early stages like level one Yeah Level one But the intention was to have a romantic date To have a walk through the woods and see if there was wood True I want- yes you're right because if there was an intention to leave a good impression then that was intending to leave a good impression And it was snowy That sounds romantic! That sounds delightful It was very, who's the black haired bloke who does the romantic movies? The British guy. Ben Donald. No the Toff guy, you know like... Lawrence of Wimbledon! No no looks like him but not him that that's the guy he's in three weddings and a funeral and what is he called Hugh?

06:22 Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant, thank you! You're just letting me squirm. Yeah absolutely how I roll. Look i'm trying the good thing is that it's warding off early stage dementia I'm sure uh so Hugh Grant was quite a Hugh Grant moment like because it was crisp sunny winter morning there was still snow on the ground it was chilly as hell And so there we were, I went for a walk and she had her dog and it was brilliant. It did this massive turn! Right? Carry your shit around with her the entire time! There was a conversation about what we're going to do, well I say we because i'm not carrying it. My chivalry has a limit right? As we discussed last week you know the size of a dog is that I am willing to have is directly proportional to whether its poo is bigger than mine so the dog stopped in the middle of Chilston Park right beautiful country manor people have weddings there and 50th's and it's set in his own grounds in the countryside in Lennon, beautiful

07:27 So obviously they can't do jack shit at the moment because it's all locked down, but they are doing bacon sarnies and cuppers. And then you can walk the grounds with said bacon sarnie and cupper. Okay? And so the dog right in the middle of this driveway that runs up to these country mansion, the dog just squats down and is like, oh God! It was cracking me up because I got this Flipping double story goes on in my life. There's what I see out my eyes and there's what i see in my head right so inside, I'm just cracking up! I'm just absolutely cracking out and it's turning out like a Mr Whippy

08:10 All I can see is pictures of this Jurassic Park sized turtle and you just put an arm inside it. Have some sort of weird shit inside. But comedy value is pretty much like that so then she's picking it up, and uh... So she styled out pretty well actually she's a pretty cool girl from school actually She's pretty cool good proper Kent girl, you know, she got a proper Kent accent And, uh...

08:45 Yeah, I mean we should definitely call them worse. If they're true to their name then you know what? I'll happily provide you with my number and email address and let's meet up! Now in Maidstone by the way if you live one side of the river your a maidstonian and if you live on the other side of the river your a maidsomething out there is like two different types of maidstonians depending on what side of the river you are. No, that's news to me. It's a giveaway, the cable is a giveaway. Now I've got like monitor headphones because I was fed up wearing those big cans. In fact whilst we're doing this before we get on right seeing as we've got some people watching and listening tune in basically the live comments are on if you go to streamyard.com forward slash no no no go to Facebook Facebook stream yard com forward slash facebook you get like the authorized thing and you can bring up your face and make a comment at Glenn and i you can say something nice you can take the piss you can do whatever

09:56 And if you're watching, share replay like spread the word. Don't be a stingy meanie bastard and then if you're on the podcast well good to have you back hope we're coming out nice and clear because I do do a bit of optimization afterwards but yeah get on over to Apple Podcasts. You telling me you make my voice sound better? Yeah you go all Barry White I just chopped the tops off and so people get a nice constant through there. Yeah, but please if you're on the podcast then share it give us a review and definitely subscribe wherever you are YouTube Facebook give us a subscribe to bump up my number let's go! So where were we? Where were we oh yeah headphones yeah got rid of the cans got these like monitor headphones so it looks better which is all about sort important it's all about how you look except our podcast listeners

10:50 But yeah, so we're on the walk. Walk was good. Walk was good. Oh just nice! It was nice. Crisp and even crisper. Yeah yeah I mean obviously i want to interrogate you massively on this but do you think there's going to be like an extra date going on? Do you think you're gonna have like a second or third date? We've chatted on the phone this week yeah? And uh... So yeah, I'm pretty certain there's gonna be another date I couldn't say as to how far that's going to go. Hello! We got love in the air here. I think we're gonna buy a hat, buy a hat. Listen, we know all about that proposed six weeks after the first...

11:38 My one and only marriage, my dad has knocked up four. Although I guess he didn't knock up three of them but yeah so no i'm not gonna...I can't be talking about hats but I can be talking about second dates definitely. And from your side of things you think it's a goer? Not it as in her but as in the romantic part I think speaking more generally, you know it's weird isn't it? You're kind of like trying to shine a...I mean I could never imagine going out for dinner and getting dressed and putting a jacket on. And being all Del Boy and going out but just can't imagine that because my dating history

12:22 I've never been a really good dater. When we were at uni one time, I asked this girl out and let's call her Louise because the name was Louise and so there wasn't...I went to Stafford University where the ratio of blokes to women was something like 15-1 okay? So you had to be picky! You couldn't be too picky but also you couldn't f**k it up either So, wait let me back up here. 15 to 1 in what direction? Because that sounded like 15 guys to one woman Yeah yeah it wasn't like Nottingham, it wasn't like Nottingham University this was Staffordshire University in Stafford You're telling me I need to move to Nottingham That's common knowledge that's where all the nursing colleges are in Nottingham they've got this insane ratio of women to men in Nottingham Why has nobody told me this shit?!

13:11 Did you never go? Well, I went to university in Stafford so it's kind of getting up towards Nottingham way. So people were like no not... Ah well! Nottingham is where you gotta go they used to say. It's all the...not only is there like this ratio women but they're nurses as well. Where did the rep...like when I was at uni it was like oh yeah nurses all nurses. Yeah but the thing with nurses every single nurse I've ever met has just been you know what we're really tired we work really hard and really long hours and then we just want to go to sleep Do you want to hear a really random nurse story, right? So I played rugby in the first year at university which my scouse mates took the piss out of me hilariously for because we'd have to go obviously to training and then go to rugby and stuff. So they would be way there will be stone they'll be waving joints out the window at me as i trudged off to training and after training with the rugby lads used to get horrendously pissed

14:05 So I would stumble in blind drunk. So during a rugby match one day, um...I got my finger broken so off i go to the hospital and I'm sat there in the x-ray bit and this woman who's a nurse she comes in And we're sat in the waiting room it was like a sketch out of whatever Harry Enfield or something So we sat there, and it stinks. It stinks of cheesy feet! We're just really ignoring this whole thing right? And I've said hello because I'm generally quite friendly like that right so after about...it wasn't the whole time we were there but it was enough for a time she goes she goes I'm really sorry my feet stink! Oh you don't want to hear

14:59 So This is like a Ronnie Corbett story, isn't it? Back to this week. So we had so we had a nice day I think we're going to see each other again. Okay where I'm at with all these things is that I would really like to just hang out with some more women. In terms of any kind of walking date or someone I might go on a date with if they were aloft

15:51 And I didn't fancy them. I kind of want to say, is it like can we be mates? Because I really could...I really want more female friends. I'll tell you what! Almost as I was chatting with someone online because they were telling-they were trying to claim that every single close person that's in your life is someone that you knew and have fought in the-in your formative years now technically the formative years are between 0 to 8 years old they would then try to claim actually no no no that's up into your 20s But most of the people that I'm close to, actually have met in the last four years since I've been single. And a decent proportion of those I've met through dating or being around people who have been dating and so you can meet some incredibly close friends through kind of romance and dating and relationships, those sort things that you never knew when you were 15-20 years old spotty and didn't know what you're talking about

16:44 Well, Glenn I don't wish to make you feel awesome or nothing but i said to someone this week. I was like Glenn's a good player. Glenn is a lot of fun. I said I'm going to end up mates with Glenn. I said literally this is the first mate I've met in my life genuinely. I can't...I don't think I've made a friend Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up

17:27 Well, let me think 2000. Yeah because when I'm her and I met on a course at Landmark Education so i met a bunch of friends through a bunch of different landmark courses that I went on and I would still count some of those people as friends then we met and it was cool because I did meet her friends but clearly I'm not friend with any them anymore then we just had drama personified for 10 years and so yeah I am looking forward what you just said is brilliant news In terms of people in a sort of dating situation, meeting new people becoming new friends and stuff. Oh it makes them... It is so different and also because you don't have to live off your previous life So I've obviously got friends from when i was young but they knew me from when I was in my late teens early twenties

18:20 I'm a different person. I want to say, I've seen anything...I'm a better person now! But i'm different now than when I was back then and so this is the person I am and this is the person that if someone wants be friends with me they're gonna have to get to know and like that person and that's not always going to be the person you knew 20 years ago who knew you as some sort of spotty teenager So um..i think you can definitely make really good friends later The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up

19:00 Then you're going to go hand by hand. No, because you need different mates absolutely. One thing I was so passionate about and yes it bit me in the ass because she went off and had an affair with one of them but i was so absolutely passionate about my ex having friends in her life that weren't our friends that weren't my friends I wanted her to have friends of her own so that she could then bring stories back and go and have fun with them, and then tell me about them. And maybe I'd know them but actually they wouldn't be my friends, it would be her friends. I wanted her to have her own life around other people so you'd have stuff to talk about because how can you have a relationship if you're just talking about the same things that each of you already knows? It didn't help that...

19:52 She went off and fucked a teenager. That would hurt me if it wasn't for the whole thing. The one thing is, the theory was solid that in practice with her it needed some tweaking but the theory behind my mindset and rationale I think that was solid. No, I agree! I think that's totally solid. I've been doing the Team Superdad... I've had a challenge this week Happy & Focused Dad Challenge. It's on iTunes isn't it? Well, inside of Team Superdad there is the five principles of focus, fitness, family finance and fun. But this week it's been... And this week in the Happy & Focus Challenge it has been geared around those things but day one was goals and ambitions and potential Day two was habits and routine. Day three was something called The Superpowers Matrix where you tap into like basically your skills your passions your commitments values weaknesses

20:49 Day 4 was Rock Solid Relationships and day 5 today was Have More Fun. So... Hey, fun is my happy place! Yeah well that's what I said today. Today is my favourite day. Have more fun. Look I've still got the notes in front of me from the day basically. Uh huh. Um... I didn't get that. Could you try again? What?! Shut up Sivren! Siri's just outed you on your desire for fun. She's like, no Glenn you're boring! I didn't get that, no you didn't have fun did you? Fuck you Siri fuck you! I have no record of you having fun Glenn

21:33 No, so it's brilliant. So yeah day five was the fun thing but inside of that relationship stuff I said um uh day four was like rock solid relationships and there's a whole combination things they have like of communication and trust but also do new things don't be jealous don't tie people down But it says, in terms of the relationship things on the shoulder of giants standing on the shoulder of giants. So you want your kids to be like boom I give my kids that elevation and same for my wife she may disagree i don't know but i think that's a message for everyone in a relationship is you want to be the wings upon which they soar like so yeah go out have a laugh i don't want you to flip him

22:19 Be stuck here? Blimey. I've been outing people as well this week on ironing shirts, that's like... I love a well-ironed shirt! I've got no time for people who don't take pride in their appearance. But i've been saying if you're some bloke who expects his shirts to be ironed then get a grimm. Fuck off! Iron your own fucking shirts Man the f*** up! Oh, I'm totally with you. And she doesn't mind ironing, then you clean the bathroom and she does the iron. I mean that's a good deal basically. That's a good deal but... In terms of parity yes but every man needs to be able to know how to iron a shirt! I've been teaching all my kids how to iron their own shit because I want all of my kids to be like

23:11 The kind of pink job, blue job sort of shit which I absolutely fight against. But I want my boys to know how to iron their own shirts and I want my girls to know how to put up a shelf but they've all gotta know everything because I want all of my kids to be self-sufficient because that's what... you don't wanna rely on anyone for anything but if people bring things to the relationship great that's fine but no! Own your own stuff Yeah, totally. That sense of independence and also not leaving someone with a sense that they're like you're flipping dependent on them hanging onto their back like no we want to lift if relationship people in relationships because Glenn and I know about the other side of this is lift each other up have a laugh celebrate just

23:59 Do keep the thing fresh and alive. Don't drag each other down, blimey! Oh no I totally agree and be that lifting spirit my ex used to self-describe herself as the anchor that would hold me down so i didn't fly away actually what we want what men want is someone to fly along with them sometimes in front sometimes behind sometimes above below around all that sort of thing but to be flying on a journey not holding us back I'm I'm

25:05 Get out. Let's find some... Well, I've got the URL for Team Supermum and I have this vision in my mind of flipping two awesome groups of people families men and women kids just firewalking barbecues disco DJs If there isn't a team super mum then let's do some sort of summer picnic you know when COVID has sorted itself out let's do a summer picnic And all the Team SuperNet guys, we can bring our kids. Team SuperMoms could bring their kids and we can fight our kids to the death! Yeah it'll be like a Monty Python scene it's gonna be perfect starts off all friendly and then... I'm ready with wine! I've got a little vignon blanc, I've got a chardonnay bucket and before you know it then those single mums will reveal their true colours

25:56 Yeah, in America the whole picnic thing is a way bigger subject. Like communities come together and they have picnics as like you see it on Modern Family and stuff like that but I don't know that it just happens to me...I guess we have the fair subjecting but fairs have been taken over by crappy stalls with inflatables for a quid that they bought off Valley Barbera. It's not the same I mean, friends and I used to do picnics. And we used to just all bring our families and kids along and there'd be like rounders and crap like that but it was... That was just because that was our friendship group. We would just say right, we're gonna be at Mote Park in Kent and anyone who's local just come down with your kids

26:43 Pay us lots of money and bring your own weapons. Something like that, I'll let you work out the details but we just say this is where we are and if it's just you and i and our kids that's all it is! And if other people join in fantastic right well I did actually have a Team Superdad picnic would have been two summers ago now would've been two summers ago yeah anyway in Maystone Teeson, Teeson Park by the river. Magic! So anyway back to pancakes right well we haven't even got on to How Was Your Week yet. Pancake day a bit random... We have pancakes all the time so the idea that you only have it's like turkey why I can only eat turkey on Christmas Day what are you talking about? I can only have pancakes on pancake day. We had pancakes all the time so it was a bit of a non-event even though we did have pancakes it was just we're just having pancakes again and uh we've spoken about The Challenge been doing The Challenge all week

27:40 I've worked, I've done loads of work this week. It's kind of been a bit... Made me realise how much work i haven't done other weeks but that's all pretty cool as well and obviously we had some better football experiences this week which is good to see and it's half term! Half term the kids are here Mate its been hard I felt so guilty this week. Work-wise, it's been incredible! This week i've been shortlisted for a couple of bids...I've actually won one single bid that ended up is 15% of my three year plan So this isn't a big chunky bit that we've won um so i've had an amazing and i've taken on half of our sales team are going to now report to me and It's been an incredible week work wise but i'm sitting here where i'm sitting right now

28:29 And I can see my kids doing their thing and playing Minecraft. But it's half term, guilty! They've gone back tonight but until now it's been all week and I felt so guilty because I've not booked my week off and I've been putting in massive bids and it's been an incredible week for work But I've not been able to balance out being a parent. That's hard, that really is hard as a dad to be succeeding at work but knowing you're failing... Not failing but you're not doing all you could do as a parent. I think we have to catch ourselves there though because a modern dad in a modern world

29:13 The amount of time we are able to spend with our kids is completely different than before. And even our own individual expectations on how much time we're going to spend with our kids is different. So I'd like say to my kids this week, look up! I know that normally I spend all my time with you when when you're here But I do actually have to get stuff done. Because if i don't, we're not going to make any money and this is what's got to happen! It wasn't too many years ago when Flippin' Heck... No. So it's a measure of you as a dad that you are actually caring about it and you are getting it done, and I bet if your kids asked your kids might say oh well would have been nice but it's great to see him working and we appreciate it yeah

30:05 Well, yeah. And they're all happy and if I'd have said to them what do you want to do with your week? They would have probably chosen as many screens as they got available to them! Yeah... I'm sitting there thinking if I had taken a day or two off of work and not sat in my seat and typed and spoken um I could have taken a mate it's harder at the moment but I could have maybe taken him to a forest or a walk or something like that but I'm thinking all the things i would normally do, they just don't apply. So looking back at time hop things on Facebook which we've done in the past, during half term I've taken them to the V&A Museum and Tower of London and Haddonstone Court Palace and taking them for walks along the beach and taking them here and picnics and stuff... All the things I'd just normally think well it's half term, I'm going to take time off, I'm going to make things happen right now! We can't do that

31:01 And so all I'm doing is, iIm sitting indoors. The kids are surviving it maybe one of them will go out and take a walk to the lakes with their friends or they might go to the park on a bike ride or something like that but It's not stuff we're doing as a family and so we're missing out on that time and I feel really guilty about that and I can't do anything about it. Yeah well um I know you're not gonna be the only one there and uh blimey! The weeks before which...it's almost like juggling it the other way because We're trying to work and homeschool. So actually, the kids are probably getting more attention than the work is getting in. Bizarrely people have probably had to get more work done this week because they weren't doing home schooling. Yeah that can be our little serious bit for the weekend we can we can with reaching out to dad so you might be feeling bad about how much time they spend with their kids or not and

31:55 I tell you what, I did say just on that subject if we're going to make it of real value in this have more fun because day five of the Team Shippitad challenge this week was have more fun and i said plan it schedule it in. You know, it's... We all love organized fun. That's the best type of fun! Yeah no I know that sounds a bit boring right but my point being is that if you've got a busy week then flipping heck put the hour in and say right that's the hour i'm going to play football with my boy well if don't plan it in if your week is that busy then at least plan it so absolutely happens yeah cheeky bastard

32:34 You've got to book it off and make that time. And one thing I've been saying to my teams at the moment is, everyone...I mean i'm really lucky in terms of my company gives us unlimited annual leave which sounds wonderful but I'm really worried that a lot of our team are worried about taking the piss they're worried about being seen as No one else's work, everyone else is working so no one else is taking time off. So I'm not going to take a lot of time for myself there's always so much work to do that will fill the time and if I take a week off then it'll be even worse when I come back and I keep saying to him, no stop it! Take the time off, the work will always be there have something to look forward to have some time when you don't have any responsibility whether you've got your kids or

33:19 The Jonnie Jensen Show, Jonnie Jensen, Wrap Up Able to be just around them and just enjoy that time. Book it off, plan it and enjoy it! You don't have to feel guilty about at any stage. No, Glenn, It's almost like we planned that because on my thing of things done this week I'm holding up the mind map from today session. It says plan stuff have things look forward to. When is your next time off Jonnie? Well I work for myself so...

34:00 I can tell you, on my birthday in May there is a weekend booked and we are going away caravan thanks to the sun. £9.50 bargains lovely! But it doesn't take me much to go to the park. You know i'm pretty brutal with myself about Have the kids been out today? So yesterday, Rosie was actually a friend but Jago and I went to park and play football for a couple of hours. Today just like right we're going into town and we just went into town. We bought cakes and we wandered around with shops that were different shops are open like Wilko's never been in Wilco so much but just to make stuff happen

34:52 We're always at the beach. We were always, well blimey we go just that way I do more stuff with my kids than is probably healthy for me but i just love it no not healthy for you then if i'm like healthy from my bank balance yeah okay now that i totally get so there we go uh Little cough, little cough. What about your week then? About you know yeah lost a funny loss of taste actually by the way but no how's your week been Glenn? You told us busy busy busy any fun stuff happened? Well I don't know about fun work-wise it's been fantastic it's been really exciting um it's one of those weeks where like I say I've won some big bids which have uh taken the pressure off me for the next few years and

35:41 I've actually brought a team in, I've hired some of the people. When I came in and said these are the people that I want to work with and I want to poach And we managed to start getting those people because they are really good at what they do It's so nice being able to say These are the people that I want and for our team just say okay let's make it happen So yeah work wise its been fantastic Personally wise, kids are alright. When I packed them off today they were alive! I introduced them to Trigger Happy TV as well which was a particular win of mine now this is maybe something that younger dads won't realize but Trigger Happy TV... imagine

36:28 Imagine TikTok and Vine and all the funny good things you've ever known, but that were done 20 years before you were born. That's where Trigger Happy TV is. Trigger Happy TV is one of the greatest things that came out in the 90s. Was that Don Jolly? Yeah! Brilliant. And one of the things where I, I loved it as when I was growing up and to introduce it to my kids, I was worried that they would look at it and think, oh this is just old people's stuff but they were pissing themselves laughing so much so that a couple of times they've been requesting dad can we watch another episode of Trigger Happy TV? Can we watch another one? With the big phone!

37:13 I'm on the mobile! Yeah! Ciao!" They started doing that, they started doing the quotes and it's so wonderful for your kids to know that your sense of humour is translated down to your kids through upbringing as well as genetics. No, Glyn, i'm pretty certain Because I'm thinking back in my life age wise, we're talking about my love of comedy and stuff. I'm pretty certain at my son's age i was watching Blazing Saddles uh and enjoying it like...I dare say not all the jokes were landed but but it's really important that we instill comedy into our kids at an early age. It is the same when they're babies! I never did the whole gaga to my kids.

38:00 Talk to them, talk to them. What you talking about? Get the good comedy into your kids like if you want to have fun kids get showing fun stuff what I've watched. I've been thinking about Richard Pryor recently right so i found an old PBS documentary about the life and times of Richard Pryor He's widely, widely recognized by comedians as the man. Like the funniest guy ever like Yeah, he's definitely funny. Or at least in this documentary... I wouldn't say funniest ever because... No no but people say it! Have you seen Mark Silcox or Michael McIntyre? You know that edgy comedian? It's not necessarily my opinion i'm just saying

38:56 You know, people... Comedians comedian. Yeah yeah, comedians saying like yeah they're like people who look to emulate him like Eddie Murphy and Keith Brock and all this like a path bearer sort of thing and the bloke was born in a slum you know in a brothel in some random part of Illinois And so there's this whole story around how he overcame adversity and used those trials and tribulations as the basis to be, you know a seriously funny guy. And incredibly successful! And absolute smack head as well! He set fire to himself...he was freebasing cocaine and blew himself up

39:38 But was he happy? Was he happy? Apparently so because he went to tell lots of jokes about it basically. So good, I'm up for that Trigger Happy TV. Well funny you should mention it actually. Amazon Prime. Amazon Prime okay good. Watch it! Well last night my boy couldn't sleep right and his whole life he's been able to sleep well right so I said Daddy I can't sleep You know when I was telling you for the last hour we were up to stop playing Fortnite? Yeah, yeah. Well that's why! Okay so like you can't pump yourself full of adrenaline and then go to bed okay So now he's downstairs i'm doing some work on my laptop and he's laying on the couch like head-on me And I've got Seinfeld in front of me because I've been rewatching Seinfeld because it cracks me up

40:32 So we were watching it and it was the episode of where they went to the Hamptons and Kramer steals the lobsters out of the sea. And George's girlfriend gets a top off, and he goes topless when he's not there. It is basically the shrinkage episode. You say this as if its global thing I'm not that dislike Seinfeld, I've just never watched it in the same sort of way so I don't know these Exactly, yeah. So if people have watched it like it's like it's like Friends episodes oh you know the one with and they are people talk about their favorite episodes so the shrinkage one is a classic and so she gets her back down so now it's really funny so George is George Costanza Seinfelds mate and he's a bit neurotic right? And generally stuff goes... The big melon! No not one of those but that's Kramer right? So George has got like the bowling ball head he's short, short lardy one

41:28 So he doesn't have much luck with women, probably like me right. He's driving up to the Hamptons which is like going out if you live in New York you go out at the Hamptons it's by the coast and sunny and beautiful so he's in his car with this date as they're going up he has got a conversation running in his mind about Just like, just right now if I reached out and touched you. You would freak out but later on we're going to be in bed that's gonna be awesome and you won't be freaking out because he is having this whole chat with him so the episode sort of carries on basically George goes to the shops and his girlfriend who had been sat down on the sun lounges with the rest of the friends that are there takes her top off right? So she is now topless! You can't see any boobage

42:16 No, very poor. So I'm sad. But so Kramer who's the like the mad cat one he gets his facial expressions are hilarious so he's basically pulling the facial expression that i probably would if someone's random hot girlfriend suddenly went topless right? So Seinfeld says we can't tell George about this because obviously George is at the shops. He's not seen her naked yet so he says you can't, you can't say that it was I pictured myself so much in this situation i was like this was I was living this moment as uh because it's like when you go to Ibiza or Spain and you're on the beach and there's boobs everywhere and suddenly

42:56 Suddenly what would seem really odd and rare, it's like people have got masks on now. Six months ago that had been completely like we've been flipping colonized by a different race but now if everyone has got masks on its fine when you're having a holiday there are boobs everywhere You're like, can I look? Can i not look is it okay how do I feel about this. Like of course I'm gonna look and depending on who you're with you're going to pretend you're not looking but you can't help but look which was the whole thing basically Just, just it got me thinking about toplessness. A dream relationship for me would be whether or not the woman was like actively attracted to women I think every human being should be able to see beauty

43:47 I'm with you. ...in the same gender, so a woman should be able to look at...I don't know let's just Emma Stone and see her and think you know what that objectively that is a beautiful woman. Even if you don't know anything about her personality she is beautiful woman and every man should be able to be self-securing enough to say look at Brad Pitt That is a beautiful man. He is a stunningly attractive physical specimen, so when you see them on the beach if you're sitting there and your other half is looking over at them at the same time both of you can appreciate and say You know what? That's a damn fine man! If you can't say that he's a damn fine man and be okay with that then you're not securing yourself. You need to work on your own security

44:42 Not like that whole, what are you looking at? Like how come you fancy him or... Yeah. You can say someone else is attractive and even if you say, you know what they're attractive and I'm attracted to them without saying I want to do something with them. And that's a different thing. And I think as a man should be able to say, you know what? I know that my missus looks at Idris Elba and thinks Fuck me, that is a sexy man. And if all things were equal and I didn't have any anything around... ...I would definitely love for him to do very bad things to me! However... ...it's not equal and so therefore that will remain a fantasy. What about Ryland? Do we think Rylands attractive? No look at you... Mate this is it!

45:36 A man, he's lovely but... and there's always a but you know it is not pretty. It's no good. I'm back! Rylan must be gay? Is he gay?! I don't know i'm gonna google that though. Here we go, is Rylan Gay? I'm pretty sure. I'm literally going to google those words. Is Rylan Gay? And I've googled that and it says he got married Husband. He is gay! And more than that, he's married okay? He's definitely committed. Okay he's a committed gay. I mean the man he's married it's like a beefier version of him but it's got the same sort of beard and happy smile

46:31 I tell you what, I reckon I would be right...I mean besides the fact that i've not got the biceps that his husband has got. I'd be right up Rylan's alley. You could be right up Rylan's alley! Okay good good. Telling ya'. Well he's successful. He's successful, you can't knock it I've got no qualms at all about being attracted by gay men. Some of my most obscene propositions have come from gay men, and sometimes genuinely wish i was gay because i would have a lot more sex. Do you want to tell me my weirdest gay proposition?

47:16 We went to a night at the end in London, Epic Club basically. And it was a party called The Night of 1000 Stars my daughter showed me a list it's upside down I am going to wash my hair okay cool yeah okay go for you so it was called A Night Of 1000 Stars and when you got there when you bought your ticket you had to tick off I'm going to bring up a picture. You had to tick off on the list which star, which famous person you were gonna go as right? So I decided in my head... Yeah like stars in your eyes tonight Matthew I'm gonna be... Right so I said tonight Matthew I'm gonna be Ziggy Stardust!

48:07 I just decided that was going to be, that was going to be 1990. I mean for the...I'm not saying you're not a good looking man at all! What i am saying is for those who aren't watching this on the live stream um I don't look at you and think David Bowie and Elfman. That's all right. I'm gonna blow your mind here it comes incoming incoming Who the fuck is that androgynous beast? My mate went as the mask. Bow and give the brother room! The fuse is lit, we're about to go boom! That's me... Where did you get

48:54 Golden, I mean that looks like cling film. No so what i did was... So that outfit is from a woman's dance outfit right? I went to like a dance shop and I bought that and got a pair of platform boots as well like beige suede platform boots so if anyone on the podcast it literally is a completely skin tight gold suit Let's not underestimate the amount of skin tight that is. I mean, it looks like it's rearranging your organs. It is pushing you in places you should not be pushed in. So the top is cropped right? There's a belly involved... Yeah! The belly buttons out. It's cropped up to my midriff and then I've got my hair all sprayed and I've got Ziggy Stardust makeup on What color was it sprayed?

49:51 Oh it's like a pinky red, bright pinky red colour. I want to build a picture for people We've got pink hair, androgynous features. And I mean, I can't even like a say skin tight doesn't do it justice this is some sort of weird sort of shrink wrapped gold body covering that is pushing you in. There we go, we zoomed in now. Whereas pushing away to certain places must therefore be pushing you out in other places Any surprise I didn't get propositioned multiple times by other gay, well say other gay i'm not a gay man but uh I got propositioned two blokes proposition B in the toilets at this club right. The thing was

50:42 I was like surprised when i look back at the pictures now, I could see that it did look like... I'm totally straight and I'm halfway towards propositioning you. That's mad that no man would proposition you there! Plus I had to put the boots on, I was like 6'2". It was a lot of fun. You would be a total otter maybe even bring on Twink In this club, I was... it was a wild night. It was a lot of fun. Imagine ram-packed everyone dressed up but no one had the same outfit on Well no one had the same outfit as you had on! I mean look at it! One final look there we go God you're like goldfingers gone gay So there we go A lot of fun Am I assuming you still

51:41 When we meet up, are you going to be wearing that outfit? I do have it. It's in the fancy dress box. It's in the fancy dress box! I will pay good money to charity of your choice if you come out wearing that outfit. What fully dressed? Yeah. How about the hair though? Okay right...I'm definitely doing that I'm Marty in Back to the Future, like someone lays down a challenge. I weigh the same but i think I've got a little bit more kind of love handly around the side probably than when

52:18 Oh, you've got to get that show. That's amazing! I love it. OK we'll do that we'll do that wow We've done 52 minutes already Glenn this is epic most of our list is not even up let's do Hot in the 90s quickly because we did touch on Seinfeld totally hopping over she's called Elaine in Seinfeld here we go I'm going to bring her in literally not through the front door but I'm gonna bring Yes, absolutely. Elaine from Seinfeld 100%. Without any hesitation, hot!

52:57 Without any argument, there's nobody on earth who could say that Elaine Hinseinfeld is not and or was not hot at any stage between now and her screen debut. Let's get a young one up to go images she um do you know she's worth like 250 million dollars? She's not getting any less hot! I'm gonna say I'm a gold digger She's fully, fully minted. You know what I'm saying? She a gold digger! Whoop whoop! There is one though she has got quite a bit of cleavage there when they try to cover up the wrinkles with makeup that always looks bad but... No no she is an attractive lady Here we go here's a real one it must be her oh that's Gwyneth Paltrow Oh she's... Gwyneth Paltrow also It doesn't matter what her vagina smells like she still quite attractive

53:51 I've got a Sorry just back to the aroma subject is this something you know about or is it just a point of reference as to that? You wouldn't put her out of bed for it. No no, you know Gwenna Paltrow's got the whole thing about candles but one of her candles is called The Smell Of My Vagina or something like that Oh, I did not know this. You don't want to Google what Gwyneth Paltrow smells like my friend it's... Here is a young one of Julia Louise Dreyfus. Hot as you like! I would absolutely be intimidated to walk up to that woman and would never ask her out on a date because she is too attractive.

54:49 Well, this is what we'll do given that we're both single when lockdown's over. We should go out on a... Out, out. We can challenge each other to proposition absolute stunners okay? The thing is I am a fucking goose level wingman! I will wing man the shit out of you and you will end up chatting to the most incredible women and when you fuck it up it'll be done to you not me um...I will happily set someone else up It's just that I'm shit at setting myself up That's how we roll

55:26 OK, that's intimidating already for me to hear. My worst... Here we go! I've got so many stories my worst experience of being set up when I went to an engineering firm during a summer holiday at the university and we went to Wales to do work at the Ford factory during lockdown And so like there's six of us, like a van load basically. And all the other blokes... A vanload! That's basically right go down to Flippin Wales South Wales and fix a flexible flow system at the Ford factory and we were on Flippin per diem out in Swansea and one night one of the blokes who was proper Casanova he is banging on my door

56:20 And I'm like, what's going on? And he goes open the door. So I opened the door and pushed this woman into my room! Very attractive woman who was quite drunk and I was like half asleep, literally. I'd been asleep like he woke me up basically and so i had been about what 21 22 something like that? And uh it's fully didn't nothing really transpired we kind of rolled around a bit and it was so weird! I just messed it up couldn't get it out It was, I was just intimidated beyond belief. I didn't it's like so that's the so out of my comfort zone basically regrettably regrettably that goes down as a missed opportunity for sure should be the story of all time you know something like and we went at it for six hours straight but no it was more like 45 minutes and then she left

57:24 Hang my head in shame. So much fun when we end up going out, my friend! Yeah yeah so we didn't get to talk about half the things we planned about I hope you've had a laugh everybody um... We had so many men that wanted to ask if you thought they were hot or not? Oh we'll do that well listen we're doing this and we got we already covered Ryland You're looking pretty good today as well Glenn Do you know what i was gonna i mean i said i was gonna pull you up on this the other day you were in work clothes and it You had like a beige jumper with a grey shirt. It's just like the safest, inoffensive kind of washed out work outfit I'd ever seen in my life basically!

58:10 Whereas now I'm basically in sexy, for all those who can't see me. I mean leather straps and studs work on the inside and yeah just PVC underneath that's what i'm in. Yeah it's frightening definitely but you're off out anyway normal Friday night outfit!

59:07 We did cover off quite a bit, Glenn. We did cover off quite a bit. We said a lot without saying anything at all and that's sometimes the place to be! It is this is the wrap up it's perfect for cooking whilst you're cooking, it's good for a long drive, it's good for mowing the lawn... there we go No, you are really dadding it up there.
