00:00 It's that time of the week and that can only mean one thing. Yes, welcome. It's the wrap-up this week with even more hosts, 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. Hey gang, it is the wrap up. What's going on here? And if we just give that a little bit, wherever it comes in, big style, look at that. For our regular listening, I'll put a fucking bring the logo in.
00:47 Put a logo right on Colin's face. I need to make, I need to make a little three-way template. Not that three-way is the kind of language you use when you've got four blokes throughout the day. Friday night, Johnny. But yeah, listen, for any of our regular guests, if you're listening, then you won't be able to see we have extra people on the wrap-up tonight. But if you're watching, because we do have lots of people who watch the live, then welcome to the wrap-up. Tonight, my esteemed and regular guest, Glenn, at a dating dad, good to see you, Glenn. I thought that was like a Harry Enfield moment. I thought he was just doing a
01:34 Mr. Steele guy, you know. But anyway. I literally were on this all day, every day. And the minute a couple of northerners come on, it gets slow. I mean, you're kind of draining the energy from my southern power here. It's because they need to. We just bring in balance, mate. That's all. It's just with a ying to your yang, mate. Absolutely perfect. So anyone that went to uni with me, you might have recognized that voice. That is the very esteemed Mr. Colin Hudson. Carl, good to see you. Good to see you, Johnny.
02:14 Thanks for inviting us. You're welcome. And you have brought a friend along with you. Rich, good to see. I've just first of all I've met you, but good to see you, Rich. Yeah, thanks, mate. Yeah, you too. He just literally turned up for a couple. Oh, whilst you're here, you fancy joining in on the podcast. Yeah, why not? That's good. We have watches in the hundreds and the listens are cranking up towards a thousand a show now. So that's pretty awesome. And what was I going to say? Oh, yeah. So listen, so for our regulars, right? This is quite new, right? Having four people on at once.
02:55 You might remember some of the earlier episodes of the Team Superdad podcast. We did an expert hangout where I had like five or six different experts on. And it was quite tricky to manage. So I kind of reined it back in. And I always had a plan to do the wrap-up as a group, like a sports sort of podcast type thing. And Glenn and I were doing so well that we never expanded it. But Colin, you used to do a radio show and podcast called The Bunker, which was awesome. I knew it'd be good to get you on. What was the bunker about? Oh, the bunker started off as a great way of wasting Friday afternoons under the official guise of work.
03:35 I had the best boss ever who was totally into his tunes and what have you. So on Friday afternoons, he quite happily let me work from home where we'd fashioned like 25, 20 years ago, way before all this media proliferation and all that, that we cobbled together a real media server. And being an internet engineer, we'd figured out a way of sneaking through firewalls so that a few of our mates could sit at the desks, log on to this private link, and we'd just be DJing all afternoon. And then like fast forward 20 years, and everyone's doing internet radio. It's like, really? We were so there for us. You stopped too. You up, buddy?
04:19 You stopped too soon. Like you, like by the time you were worn out from it, it was in and everyone else was just getting started. Do you know what, mate? We did. I think we did about 10 years on My House, Your House Radio from the very start. And we sort of took it from just the bedroom DJs, plugging in, just playing tunes. We went full BBC on it, room full of people, loads and loads of gear, microphones, guest DJs, like stupid games, all sorts of stuff. It was pioneering stuff. We actually played a true story, rock, paper, scissors for the radio. It was funny. It was absolutely funny. And can people still listen to it on SoundCloud? SoundCloud?
05:01 I think the I think the bunker archives are actually still all up. Soundcloud.com/slash the bunker show, I think it is, you know, and there should still be quite a lot of the shows up there. But yeah, it was good times, mate. Good music as well. Good people. Yeah, if you like your old kind of house, good times, house. Well, yeah, go and listen to the bunker show. Search up the bunker show on SoundCloud. How old are we talking, Johnny? Because I watch human traffic for the first time in ages this week. Are we talking pre-human traffic era? Let's have a thing. So it'll have been
05:45 almost human traffic, late 90s, human traffic. 99, yes. I'm still here. Yeah, go on. In that case, we would probably have been like late. So I'll have been like 2000, 2001, something like that. We started doing the bunker show. We've not been doing it for a few years now, but yeah, it was about, it was early 2000s. It was not long after I moved into this house, to be fair. So yeah, that was 20 years. Wow, 20 years ago. That's how old we are. Yes. And you're all 20 years more mature and grown up, I'm sure. Yes.
06:30 I can vouch for that not being the case. So if I was mature and grown up, we wouldn't be friends. You know that. Yes, it would be terrible. Yes. Everything would be the fabric of society, like the universe, the fabric of the universe, Fray. No, no, no. This is what we do on the wrap-up. Anyone who's joining us for the first time, thank you for being here. This is the end of our week, right? In days gone by, we'd have sat in the pub and got absolutely before stumbling, or worse, in my dad's days, driving home. What do you mean, drink driving? I've had a drink. Of course, I'm driving home. No, but now, you know, we can't even go out now, let alone flipping, drink, drive ourselves into oblivion.
07:15 But we do hang out. We do get this podcast out into people's lives so that whether they're driving somewhere, cooking, mowing the lawn, Glenn took the piss out of me tragically for mentioning mowing the lawn. But I used to listen to podcasts, mowing the lawn. What more can you do when you're mowing the lawn? But yeah, bit of a laugh, bit of a piss take. And to sort of men hanging out, like this isn't only about single dads, but we are aware that men sometimes find themselves home alone. And what better way to entertain and support them by bringing the wrap up to them? Yes, mate. I couldn't agree more. Cheers. Cheers, boys. Men, gents, reprobates.
