The BIG 5-0 - the Wrap Up hits 50

00:00 Welcome. It is that time of the week again and you are here for the 50th 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. Oh, we made it. It's half century. Half century. The big 5-0. Welcome. Glenn, aka Dating Dad, is here with me.

00:40 Johnny Jensen, our founder and creator of the Team Super Dad community and the Hero Dad, the Hero Dad, the Hero Academy. This is the 50th episode of the wrap-up. It's about episode 90-something of the entire podcast, but certainly the 50th episode of the wrap-up. And it is great to see you, sir. It is lovely to be seen and to see you too. Although looking at myself, it looks like I've gone back in time. I'm on just an old laptop, and the difference of camera quality between my regular Mac and this one, it's stunningly different. I shall send you, there's an Indogo for this, like, it's clearly some Chinese factory pumping out, but they call the Lumina 4K.

01:23 Very nice. I'd quite like a 4K camera, but priorities right now. But then you need a 4K worthy face. So yeah, I'm not entirely sure I'll be making the most of those features myself. Well, StreamYard, which we record on, and by the way, if you're watching, it's great to have you here. If you're listening, it's also great to have you here. The podcast, the live streams, I can see the screen filling up, people joining us. If you want to comment, if you want to be part of the 50th episode of the wrap-up, then you can join us. Look, join us by commenting. Boom. You can join us, basically. If you happen to be a Facebook user, streamyard.com forward slash Facebook will actually send the magic gremlins around into the world.

02:10 And look, just like Robert here, you can be live. You can have your name in lights. You can be complimentary or abusive. That's really quite fine. We had a little bit of a... Robert famous now. So yeah, welcome to it. Welcome to the team, Robert. Yes, he's up in Scotland. How's that work for Scott? What the fuck was that? Me and Jason. I say that with love, but what the fuck was that? And Nadine is back. It's brilliant. There we go, Nadine. Our favorite LinkedIn lady who I need to go out and date. You can't really date yourself. That's not quite as much fun. No. But Monday's Mondays.

02:55 Rob says he's not Scottish. I'm not Scottish. Okay, sorry about that, Rob. Sorry about that, Rob. Just say you're from the South. That way you can use his normal accent. What I will say, though, is that we went on YouTube. My boy and I, Jaygo, we went on YouTube to have a little look to search up how to speak like accents. And there's actual YouTube videos, like how to do accents. And there was like a, there was a like tips, tips and tricks to speak Scottish. And like it tells you which letters to stretch out and which things to roll. I dare say they do like American ones as well.

03:36 So, you know. Yeah, I can do a North London accent and a South London accent. And that's about it, to be honest. That's as much as my range goes. What about a West London? Could you posh it up for the West Londoners? Fuck no. These vocals are very much of the poorer variety. Oh, man. Well, we should get... I always wondered about people that can do impersonations. And is it actually a talent? I mean, some people, yes, for certain. Rory Remnant, do you remember that geezer? Yeah, I mean, most people don't do it impersonations. They do an accent and it just happens to kind of remind people of someone else.

04:17 They don't do proper impersonations. Say it confidently. Here's my here's my Sean Connery accent. It's just me saying I can do a Scottish accent, which I can't. Clearly, clearly. I used to be able to do kind of a Russian or Eastern European and various, because my family's Hungarian, so I used to hear my granddad all the time and I could do a Hungarian, but then Borat has ruined all of that. Now every generic Eastern European accent just comes out like Borat. It's no use. So give us your Borat. After more raps, it's going to happen.

04:55 Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But talking about Borat, of course. uh, Sasha Baron Cohen, the great man himself, he turns 50 this year, so he's going to join us in half century. Well, I searched this up, people that we were looking at the number 50, right? Things that you can hang your hat on around 50, like birthdays, um, uh, women who are gonna in their 50s or 50, sporting things, sporting stuff related to 50. I'll tell you what, the England cricket team and the Indian cricket teams have really got on board with our celebrations. They did a special celebration where for the first time in history, in every innings of this test match, somebody got out on exactly 50.

05:37 Well, that's actually a thing that happens today. There's a fucking niche stat for you. Wow, and for our American friends who really haven't got a clue what cricket is, it's like baseball, except sophisticated and good instead of holding the bat on your shoulder, you hold it against your toe. And instead of just saying, here, big ball, me hit ball, and then hoping, which is basically all baseball is, cricket has strategy, it has, it's a test, it's a it's a long-form game, um, and it's it's way more difficult to play. Oh, I'd love we should get one of those like debating society groups where they're going to talk about which is better cricket or baseball.

06:20 Cricket's way older, clearly. Probably they probably took probably some American took cricket and said, Well, we can't, we've got to have a World Series. And if we use their one, we can't have a World Series. We're going to win. It's all about winning. Oh, yeah. Well, we haven't got time to go into the origins of cricket or search it up. No, we don't. We don't, but we'll leave that to those 50 states. See what it's another 50 thing. Oh, it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what will come up? We've got a whole bunch of little 50 things here, right? Things you've done more than 50 times. We're going to touch on some sporting 50, 50 numbers. We've got a few gorgeous ladies who are in their 50s or older than 50 and some interesting actors.

07:04 I didn't get around to doing sporting. On Talksport, though, recently they've been doing players who've scored more than 100, which clearly we're not at 100 yet. And the list of people who scored more than 50 goals in the Premier League would be crazy big. But these kind of things, stats around the number 50. And I just to say, by the way, right, when I started the Team Super Dad podcast, I had, if you're a regular listener viewer of the Team Super Dad podcast, you will know that we do two shows, two shows most weeks. One is added value, one's informative. It's helping dads be the best version of themselves.

07:44 Focus, fitness, finance, family, parenting, sex, relationships, Bitcoin. Oh, I've made nearly 600 quid on trading cryptocurrencies in the last month, by the way. Have you? With some considerable help from someone who knows way more than me, by the way. We could talk about that as well. But that's the kind of stuff we do on the serious episodes of the Team Super Dad. But when I was going through my tough times, when the marriage was poor, the finances were struggling, the business, the kids were ill, the flipping divorce, brother committed suicide.

08:27 Like, you know, I've got the whole big brother celebrity B-list story, backstory here. But listening to podcasts, listening to audio books, it got me through. And so when we created the wrap-up, the idea, the intention was that it'll be a bit of a laugh. Fixing the world around us so you don't have to, just talking crap basically about the week that we'd had. So that when you're sitting there feeling bad about yourself, you can be like, well, at least it's not as bad as Johnny and Glenn. Yeah, I'm happy to be the low, the bar by which all other things are measured in terms of depth and despair. Yeah, the low-hanging fruit. I got off a bubble.

09:11 That's why I wear underpants and unboxing. I got seriously bollocked. My boy and I got seriously bollocked by some old neighbours of ours because we picked up the fruit, apples that had fallen on the floor. And they came out and said, oh, stop that. It was like, not like scrumping. You probably don't get scrumping in London, do you? No, I've heard of it. I read about it on the internet. But no, it's fucking if it's out there and it's fine. What are they going to do with it? Well, she said, we bought this. It was a cul-de-sac, and there was a bit of grass in the middle. And she said, we bought that bit of grass to stop people messing with it, to stop people making a mess of it, to stop people building on it, to stop.

09:54 And I was like, like, okay, that's a cool, that's really cool. I was like, well, my boy is five and my girl is three, and they're playing on it, picking up apples that are otherwise going moldy and rotten. What's the issue here? And yeah, she got well shitty with me, which and I have a kind of a three strikes and out rule on this sort of my tolerance. So I'll say, oh, I'm really sorry. Yeah, understand that. And then I'll try and rationalize with them and they'll go again and I'll say, oh, well, yeah, I didn't realize that you actually meant that. And if they keep going with me, all of a sudden, it kind of sort of don't make me angry. You won't like me any angry. Like incredible Hulk. They get the green eye. And then I just comes.

10:41 I let it rip. I let it rip. I was like, yeah. But she was quite old, so it wasn't like I threw her over the hedge or something like that. But yeah, picking up. You've got to put someone in their place. That's outrageous kind of pettiness on their part. There, Glenn, there must have been 200 apples on the floor. And I was like, your kids were doing them a service. It's not like they're picking up that. Why kids are picking them up and throwing them at things? Were they smashing them and making a real mess? No, we made apple pie. There you go. We made apple pie. Apple pie. What have you made anything recently, Glenn? Anything in the kitchen? Any culinary delights? I know you like to do a big mean breakfast every now and again.

11:24 Have you knocked anything up in the kitchen? Yeah, I wish. No, I haven't made loads recently. So I had my kids last week and it was just kind of normal, normal fare and so on. So I've been quite restricted. Although I did make a beautiful Tikka Masala last night with all the herbs and spices and then got really annoyed when I came down the next morning. And the air freshener had just got rid of all the smell. Fucking love tikka masala. I'd love if you could find me some candles, some scented candles that had a proper smell of a tikka masala or a proper smell of bacon or a smoky whiskey or something. Fuck you, I would buy the shit out of them rather than smelling like someone took a shit in a pine tree.

12:08 Ben, this is the most random niche product idea you've ever had. Tika Masala. I can't even spell the bloody word, masala candle. But not waxy candles. I'm talking about so it smells like the spice. Well, apparently the stinky candle company do do a curry candle. And what's more random is it's from America, but they don't even do curries. That's very weird. Yeah. The stinky brain has instantly gone to fannies, knobs, basically.

12:48 If you're not smelling a curry, mate, then you've got an issue. In the list of stinky candles, they do the cheesy knob or the Betty, what do they call it? The Betty Swallocks. The Betty Swallocks or the Fetty Swanny. Betty Scrollocks. I wonder if that's a global thing. If you said Betty's absolutely not Aussie, would they know you meant sweaty bollocks? No, fucking no. And I'll be honest, a Yank, would they know you were talking about his sweaty bollocks? Not in the slightest. See, slang is such a UK thing, and it's also regional.

13:28 So there'll be phrases and comments and bits and pieces that I'll say and I'll just know what they mean. So if earlier we were talking about how I looking at looking at the camera and I've got a bit of a fuzzy boat. I know what that means. I'm sure you know what that means. But who outside of kind of outside of London in general would realize that me talking about my boat is my boat race, my face. So in London, we've got that Cockney Rhyming slang type thing. Up north, they definitely speak a different language. I'm not just talking about Scotland. I'm just the north. Anywhere up above Watford, they've got weird phrases and bits and pieces that they say that absolutely they take for granted as normal and we don't.

14:13 And that's all just on one little bloody island. So as soon as you go outside of that, I think it gets a little bit strange. Yeah. Well, I went out with a girl once. She, you know, in a baky in Newcastle, it's school. It's called like a scoggy. A what? A scoggy. Like if you, if, if, if you're sort of cycling the bike, standing up and pedaling and someone sat down, then she's like, no, that's a scoggy. Oh, you, it's just, how is it a scoggy? I don't scogg it on the bike.

14:53 So there's hundreds of things. I wonder how, yeah. Any definition. Yeah, yeah, there's going to be loads of them. Share your favourite bit of slang from where you grew up in the comments if you can. And just try and catch us out so we don't know what one is. Oh, yeah. Rob says, is it a croggy? Because Rob, Rob is, I call Rob Scottish, but he's not actually. Scottish Rob. I think it's Scottish Rob. I think he's from, I think he's from Weirside, something like that, actually. Let us know where you're from, Rob. So, what is a bakkey on a bike? A baky is a ride given to someone who sits on the bike whilst you're on behind. Usually, you've got those little

15:38 stands, like little pegs that come out, and then you just can stand on those and grab it. Or you can be sitting on, what's it? Like a stunt pegs. Stunt pegs. That's the one. I don't. Yeah. Do I look like someone who's fit enough to ride a BMX? No. No. No, I did do some fitness this week. I did go swimming. Went swimming. Well, just to say, I'm going to open this beer, right? This is kind of like a celebrate. It's not like it's Brew Dog IPA, no sponsorship as yet. But I'm going to open this because 50th birthday. Congratulations. We made it. We made it. Rob's knocking back.

16:22 Not Rob. Glenn is knocking back. We've got a fine whiskey there, Glenn. Ben likes his whiskey. No, this is a rum. Just a bog standard everyday drinking rum. Drinking rum. Got to be dark though. Not a light. I'm a spiced rum kind of guy. Love a bit of neat spice rub. Although, to be fair, I think I've shared my liquor cabinet a few times. I've got pretty much everything over there. So if you need some, I think I've got some really nice limited edition kraken, dark rum crack and stuff. So that's quite good to have. Okay, we will crack that open. A couple of things. It was the bank holiday Monday last weekend. I went camping.

17:03 Camping goes in three stages, right? There's the getting ready to go camping, which is because you're basically going to build a house in a field. So if you take your kids, then you've got to take everything you need to build a house, basically, and live. And then there's the fun bit, which is only fun if it doesn't rain. That's where you sit around, make fires, get drunk, smoke a bifta, just enjoy it. Oh, starry night. Good stuff. Good stuff. Play a guitar, all that sort of thing. Then there's the equally shit bit, which is the uncamping where you have to dismantle your house. And then, worst of all, when you get home, everything stinks, it's filthy, and your kids don't help you.

17:48 And it's absolutely terrible. So what I can report is that the middle bit of our camping trip was bloody brilliant and successful. No rain, lots of fun. And the only bad bit was Jaygo sat too close to the fire. And I said, you're going to melt your. In fact, I said, do you want to wear your Tottenham shirt whilst we're doing bonfires? And second of all, I think you're sitting too close. And then woke up in the morning, you'd melted the flipping logo off the front. Thankfully, it was his Chinese snide one, not his authentic real deal home one. It's not going to help you to be able to say, I told you so. He's not going to remember that, but hopefully

18:28 you'll be able to refer back to it next time it happens. Well, it is a lesson in life. He will now know when he, there'll be a day when he says to his son, don't sit too close to the sun. Don't sit wrong. Don't definitely don't sit close to the sun. His boy who will be named Icarus. Icarus. I knew you were going to nail that. Strong name. Don't sit too close to the fire, my boy. You will burn the logo off your Tottenham shirt, basically. But yeah, bloody good time. Bloody good time. My good lady, she declined to stay. She goes, I don't camp. And fair dues, this is how quality she is, right? She returned on the Sunday morning, bought breakfast, pancakes, bought the stuff to make pancakes.

19:14 So we're camping in a field. She bought the stuff to make pancakes. We make pancakes for the kids. And then after we uncamped, we went via hers on the way home and she made us a roast. So the only thing she didn't do was sleep in a tent. She did all the other bits of camping. Although she didn't do the stage one or stage three. She just came up. I mean, but you can still manage that. But, you know, that's the only bit she didn't do that she could have done is just sleep in a tent. She did have some clothes. clients, PT clients. Ah, okay, okay. But yeah, in simple terms, she was like she'd erred on the side of I don't know how to do this. But just to say, in terms of yardstick for quality, uh, yeah, that is

20:00 she had fun on Friday night, left, came back on on fun on Saturday night, came back on Monday morning, Bank Holiday, with pancakes and uh and fruit, and then cooked us a roast in the afternoon. Oh, that is lush, yeah. And that is that is classy, and I'm assuming it was a delicious roast as well. Oh, of course, no uh instant microwave roast uh roast meals there. I had some interesting food myself over that Bank Holiday weekend. Your mum was now, wasn't she? She was, yeah, first time my kids have seen her since Christmas 2019. I told you about the time when she uh uh the Christmas group chat incident.

20:39 I don't think so. Oh, so uh, with it was after you finished this story when you finished, we got we got a story coming from Rob actually, which is cool. Looking forward to it, just please don't say it in a Scottish accent, yeah. Um, so uh, yeah, it was it was Christmas 2019, and and I'd say we take it in turns across my family to host Christmas, but really it ends up at mine because I haven't got a big house, but I've got the biggest house, um, and I'm one of seven and they have loads of more kids, so we end up all just coming around. Um, so this year, I was uh providing all the drinks, the booze, my brother was providing all of the kind of entertainment as such. I also sorted out food and bit species for the time between Christmas and New Year where we'd all get together.

21:20 Um, and my mum brought you know my sister and her husband and loads of their kids, my brothers were there, um, and so it was a big house full of people, and we were going to be that everyone was staying overnight, so I'd arranged for airbeds, I'd bought extra bedding, I'd got the whole place ready. We were set for a full night's entertainment, and it got to about seven o'clock. And my mum said, Oh, no, we're going now. What are you talking about? Me and Lee, we've spent a long time preparing this. No, no, no, we're off. Okay, okay. So she went off. My brother has stayed with his family, and we just got drunk and did stuff. Um, later on, and one of my brothers who was working that day, so it could be, he messaged my mum saying, How was it?

22:02 Um, and she replied, saying, Oh, it was terrible, John. It was absolutely terrible, awful, not like it used to be. The kids they just played upstairs, didn't want to see anyone. Um, we had to watch half of a match of foot, half a match of foot one fucking boxing day because I'm a Spurs fan. And when it was on the table, I gave up half the match. We barely played any games, we played four games, and we had another dozen lined up. Um, it just wasn't very good, son. But, but, but don't tell your brother because I don't want him to know. She replied that in the family WhatsApp group. And how do you come back from that? So, I just like, mum, look, I'm really sorry you didn't enjoy it. You're always welcome, but next year, someone else can do it. And to this day, she never apologised.

22:45 But that was the last time we'd seen her. So, she came down to visit the weekend. I took her to Hampton Court Palace for their food festival, and that was bloody good. Um, I found out what the limit on my Apple pay is. Uh, it wasn't cheap, um, to because my kids just like, I want some of that, some of that, some of that. And me, not even thinking about it, I was just like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, but yeah, spend so it wasn't like pay and then help yourself, it was literally pay and keep paying. Yeah, yeah, I mean, the tickets were free because I'm a member of Historic Royal Class or whatever. Um, but yeah, once you go in, it's just stools and stools and stalls of food. We got there bloody early at 10 o'clock, had a look around the palace for a couple of hours. Um, because my mum didn't know she was going to that, and so we saw that.

23:28 Um, then went outside just as they're setting up, got all the food sorted. By the time we'd eaten and had another little look around, I'm not kidding you, the queue for chips was almost an hour long. And like, I like chips, but I'm not going to queue for a fucking hour for a little packet of chips. So, uh, yeah, I'm glad we got there a bit early. And were they special chips? They were double-cooked duck-fat chips, apparently for £7.50 or something. Mate, they would not have been cheap. They were, yeah, piddly-ass little portions, maximum value or cost, um, and a lot of middle-class snobbery who will just say, Oh, isn't it lovely?

24:12 Totally worth it. I only got three, but damn, they were fine. Yeah, my youngest son, uh, the only meal that he really fancied was uh pasta with truffled butter. Oh, well, I like his style, I like his style. Yeah, and um, did you your grant? So, your mum, she hadn't like got a Mohican or had a tattoo or got a bone through her nose. It was like, she just looked like so good. old granny, good old mummy again, did she? Yeah, she's just normal, sadly, not sadly, she's wonderful, but yeah, she's, I think, I think one day she could get a tattoo, but she's 61 now and she's, I think she's fairly set in her ways.

24:53 And I think it would, I think maybe when she goes over to Australia, we're taking her over there one day, then she might do it as a celebration when she sees my sister. Oh, okay. So your sister lives in Oz. Oh, yeah, yeah, one of my sisters lives in Melbourne, lived over there for many years, and she's just had her first daughter. And yeah, for my mum's 60th last year, we got basically, we said, look, here's tickets for Australia. But of course, coronavirus. So she's not been. So she's got tickets waiting for as soon as lockdown finishes. I'm going to throw her on a plane and send her over there. That's a beautiful story. Beautiful story. And she'll get a suntan and all that.

25:36 Good stuff. Good stuff. So here's Rob's story, right? This is quite funny because we talk about dialects, different words for different things in different parts of the country, let alone the world. So Rob says, Rob says, when I was in the army, second weekend, I was off to the Nafi for some sweets up north. We call sweets kets. However, in my section, I was surrounded by some lovely southerners who thought I was on about horse tranquilizer or famous raving after-party drug. And so he says to the lads, do you want any kets, lads?

26:19 And the whole room goes up for grabs. Yeah. We trust these people with guns. Yeah. Here's my one like this, right? I was in America as we used to go to Chicago each summer when we were kids. After our mum died, we got like our dad would just ship us off to Chicago for the summer, which was bloody great, obviously. The beach, the sun, the fun. So I'm out 16. Now, when you're in America back in the day, British 16 compared to American 16, you might as well be 16 and 12, basically, because we were blagging our way into pubs and

26:58 driving from a couple of mates at their cars. Just like flipping early stages of parties and raves. So 16 in America is quite innocent and stuff. So I started telling a story about a terrible car crash I'd been in. That you'd been in? I had been in a car crash. Yeah. So I had a terrible car crash. And I said, oh, yeah, I had this terrible car crash. Now, if you take that sentence, I had a terrible car crash. And now put your kind of Chicago American ear accent filter on, what you end up with is some English boat talking about, I had a terrible car crash.

27:44 Cock rash. I had a terrible crash. Which again was probably true of you. Which could well have been true, but brought utter silence to the room and concern across most of the faces of these innocent young people who previously thought I was a decent lad. And now apparently I'm got a flipping venereal disease, which I'm happy to tell them all about. Which, by the way, I've never had. Have you been for the test though? Have I been for cockroach testing? Have you had like a have so basically I had this girlfriend?

28:22 And in fact, a couple couple of time, when I lived in London, pretty much a couple of girlfriends I had prior to actually having unprotected sex, we both went and had tests to find out that we were both clean and therefore we could proceed with unprotected sex. Right. So the first time I went, it was quite an eye-opener. And in more ways than yeah. This bloke, this nurse, because clearly he is a nurse, right? Massive, massive black guy. And he's because they talk gently to you to distract you. Obviously, it's quite disconcerting having your old fella in someone else's hand.

29:08 The whole process is only going to, you figure this is going to take too long. And then they stick something up your jab site and give it like a quick scrape and it's over in seconds. I was completely unprepared. That's what she said. Completely unprepared for it. And yeah, she's like, oh. Did they talk you through what was going to happen before it happened? Oh, no, complete surprise. He just went, and I'm not going to do a South London. But in his deepest sort of London Brixton, Jamaican accent, he's like, Hello, are you okay? Did you have a good like, did you have a good journey here? And as he said, here,

29:53 whoo! Yeah, it's not, it's not right. What I will say is, if people are having unprotected sex, do get checked. It's not, it's not terrible, but know what you're getting into and what's getting into you. Oh, yeah, the prize process. The flipping prize on the other side was well worth it. Yeah, definitely. But and so quick as well. So Fisho is such a such a slick move. He'd have, you know, flipping done a few of those. That man has had a lot of cocks in his hand. Just in and out. It's like amazingly quick, but incredibly. No, I don't want to put people off because it was not like horrific. It was just a shock. Like if someone poked you in the eye, it would be like that kind of eye with, you know, like two fingers in the eye.

30:37 You'd be like, oh man, you just poked me in the eye. But it wouldn't be a lasting thing. It would just be a bit of a bit of a shock. Yeah, bit like that. Bit like that. And that was back then. I'm assuming these days they've probably got some sort of bio scanner. They just kind of wave at you Star Trek style. I have no idea. I have no idea. I haven't had such an incident test. I wonder if that's normal. I don't know. It's weird, isn't it, being 47? So many things were just normal when you were young are just now a completely alien subject. Yeah, well, they've just moved on, haven't they? Things have evolved a lot over the last X number of years, let alone the nearly 50 you've been alive.

31:21 I'm just right back to the 50 there. I mean, 50 years ago, the world was a different place. 50 years ago was the first time that you were able to divorce after two years. Before that, you couldn't do it. You just had to, you had to have other reasons for able to be dawson. But now, these days, once you're separated, you can do it. And that was what happened for the first time 50 years ago. Okay. So new laws from 50 years ago. Well, that was one of them. But also 50 years ago, as a separate thing, Blue Peter buried their time capsule. I don't think it's been opened yet, but they buried it 50 years ago. If you were burying a time capsule from you today, what would you put in it? That was going to be opened in 50 years' time.

32:06 So you'll be 97. Okay, good question. And by the way, whilst I'm thinking this up, you can search up what is in the Blue Peter Time Capsule. So I would put in my Blue Peter time capsule, I would put a, I think I'd have to put a phone. I think I'd have to put whatever the current iPhone is. I would put a printout of the Premier League dated this week because that is obviously a lot of fun. Oh, yeah. Oh, God, yes. And we'll say this as two very, very happy Spurs fans right now.

32:47 I think we should just call the league. I think it's done. That's a lot of fun. Yeah. And in 2021-22 season, the league was finished after three games. They were crowned Premier League champions for the first time, winning the highest league of the British English Football Association since 1966, 66. Football's definitely far, far better than fucking baseball. What else would I put in there? So I would put in there a nose swab. I'd put a lateral flow test in there. Yeah, that's a good chat. That's been quite a major thing this year. I would put in there a flipping.

33:25 I wouldn't put a bottle of sun lotion either. Bastard. Someone's... If I see the fucker who nicked this summer, there's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. There is somewhere in space, like in the kind of Greek god sort of like there's larger forces at play in the universe. Somebody, like a prankster, like they did it, like they were playing, they were playing shithead. And someone said, if you lose, I'm having Britain's summer. And they're like, no, you're not, as if that's going to happen. And then he lost and he lost. Yeah, fuck you, guy. That's what's happened, basically. So I would put a

34:14 model, let's call it, because you couldn't put a life size in it, but some sort of model of like, I'd have to go with the Jeff Bezos rocket cock. Cockrocket, yes. Is that the cocket? The cocket. that happened a few weeks ago. Oh. Things that they put into the one in 1971. It was pretty tame. Obviously, it was Blue Peter, so they're not going to put cockets in there. But they put in a copy of the Blue Peter Annual, of course, but also a set of decimal coins, which were introduced in 1971. Decimalization happened 50 years ago. And it was just really weird because

34:59 I can't work out a world in which decimalization is in any way controversial. It makes absolute, pure, complete, total, utter sense without pounds and shillings and farthings and halfpennies and throttenies and all that sort of bollocks and 12 pennies in a this and a four in a that and a 50 of this and a 10 and a half who kept one two three four five six seven eight nine ten that's it remember those ten everything to do with that so decimalization happened and that's what they chucked in a time capsule so are you gonna put some um are you gonna put just one of your bitcoins i think i will put a bit uh well i'm not gonna put a bitcoin in there clearly because it's worth about 36 grand a bitcoin but um

35:43 this bloke rings me up right and i'm on a i'm on a i'm on a mailing list of i'm pretty sure i know where about about 15 years ago i filled in a i sent a text message off the back of the evening standard which is london's newspaper all about share trading and like you know do you want to do you want to learn about the stock market whatever so i text it in got nothing back literally got nothing back thought i was going to get sent a book or something got nothing back ever since then about once every six months i get this flurry of phone calls all about investing ranging oh yeah i get that ranging from fine art to

36:23 buses and airport car parks and like random so this guy says to me uh hello mr jensen i understand you're interested in in in investments i was like oh hello again and he's like well we we are uh we we help people buy and sell uh cryptocurrency in fact what we do is we advise our clients on what what to buy have you ever traded before i was like yeah i did traded for about two years was up was down ended up about probably whole experience costing about two grand probably so i'd rather have finished two grand up but

37:00 and he goes well we take the stress out of that by advising you on what to buy and sell and then we have a load of clients we do that so like we kind of we we bring you in and out of the market which we try and judge it well so um i get a phone call every day from from nathan and his team and so far i'm i've put 400 quid in just as a little test and um we're on about 920 quid in the old pop right now in my trading account i've gone from 400 to 950. and how did you know these guys were legit

37:40 i got asked that question the other day and i don't actually have too much of an idea about that so this could be some wolf of wall street bullshit i've done as much due diligence as i can right which is i've looked up the company i've read through their like terms and conditions i've seen where they're based i've asked you know so and i've i tried to move some money out because obviously money in from my coinbase account into into into uh into my crypto nero and uh that works all fine so some way shape or form now if i had 90 000 pounds in there i probably might be conscious i don't know i don't know how i could be more conscientious i'm like well if if you know it's one of those things where if they're if they're trading publicly or they're uh you know they're registered

38:35 company's house and all that sort of stuff you've got some sort of guarantee but i'm i i don't know i'm no financial advisor i would love for one of our listeners who is a proper financial whiz to be able to tell us how you would know if a cryptocurrency broker or trader or whatever was on the up and up or whether they were actually just some sort of scamming scam artist um who are uh just luring you in to say look that was just with 400 quid imagine what we could do with four grand tell you what let's sort this out for you what we do we'll even we'll even we've got a separate sister company that does loans so what we'll do is we'll get you to sign up for a loan and it's you've made your money back etc etc etc etc if he offers me a loan tomorrow i will know

39:22 exactly what's happened i am actually actually part of a wealth creation group, Tears of Freedom, an awesome guy called Jason Greystone. You can see that he on the podcast recently. He was on the wealth creation podcast. In fact, Expert Hangouts quite a while ago, actually. He was one of the guests, and we're going to have him on as an individual guest. But he's on YouTube. He's got a massive following on YouTube. And he's beefing up at the moment. He's gone all like vegetarian and muscling. And he's like, he's annoyingly smashing it. He's so smashing it. It's, yeah, we could all be a bit more Jason, right?

40:06 So I'm part of that group. So I have actually posted that exact question. How do I know that this random company that has turned £400 into £900 is legit? And I will update you about that. Please do. By episode 100, you're going to be fucking minted. Oh, yeah, because if you take 900 and double it into 1800 and take 1,800 and double it into 3,600, take that into, yeah, okay. Before you know it, you're going to have a cockrocket your own. Oh, it's just trading, like to all the dads listening, right? Trading property investing,

40:50 whatever it is that you're doing with your money, it is prudent to have something going on. Like, as clearly, I'm no expert, but planning for retirement. We had the property thing on the other week, and you said Michael Dominguez came on and he's a property investor, and he basically said, anyone can get into property. And then you commented, I'll happily be told otherwise, but I'm saving my flipping ass off here to get a family, a home for the family. And so, how can it be possible that this is a game that anyone can play? Which is a fair question. Yeah, I've got very strong ethical opinions on the whole property accumulation mindset

41:35 and whether it should be done or whether it shouldn't be done and the impact that a couple of people using money often gifted to them to buy property, which then is then leveraged to buy more property and build up a property portfolio works magnificently for those few individuals. However, it fundamentally undermines the property market for the entire rest of the population and drives prices up and keeps demand through the roof. I've got real ethical issues around multiple home ownership and that sort of thing. I can understand why people do it because it's so fucking lucrative. I was talking to a friend today. She's got her friends have got a property portfolio, just one of their properties.

42:18 The mortgage, £150 a month. The rent, £1,300 a month. You can see why people do it. But the rent is so high and the mortgage is so low because these people abuse the system. So I've got really strong. If I was going to get into politics, besides, you know, being a ruler of the world, actually being in charge of housing would be the one job that I'd want to do because I've got this whole issue has got to be fixed because we can't keep going as we are. But anyway, let's get on to a serious topic. Okay, it's too serious. Anyway, we'll save it for a serious quick. We'll have you on and a property person to talk about. But it is pretty fascinating when you've got a lot of people who are struggling to own a home and someone else

43:01 not only having loads, but telling those people, by the way, I need 950 quid a month off you, please, for something that's absolutely. And that money is then money that I can't use to save. And it doesn't matter that I'm spent. My bank wants to know how I can afford to repay a £700 mortgage. And I can sit there and say, I've been paying, I don't know, £1,200, £1,300 a month rent for 10 years, but that doesn't count because that means you might not be able to afford a £650. I'm like, fuck off. That system is fucked. So, yes, yeah, I'm happy to have that debate and happy to break the system. But it's been this way for quite some time. House prices over the last 50 years have skyrocketed.

43:43 In fact, if you give me one moment, because this whole thing is about 50 house prices in 1971, considering income was kind of not massive, but it wasn't too bad. Oh, no, not in the US. Who cares about house prices in the US? We don't live there. Although many of our followers have many listeners from the United States, Glenn. So around the world. I don't know what house prices were like in the US, but in the UK, the average salary for men was £28 a week. a week. Um, that's no good. I don't want to at the point of session bitter.

44:25 I want to know how much a house cost. Uh, I see in the US, it's giving me the US prices of $25,000. Oh, here we are. In 1971, the average house price was £5,632. Um, and now they the average house price in the UK, not the southeast where I live, but just the UK in general, which includes bits of the country where it's dirt cheap. Um, the average house price is 247,000, which has risen 4,286 percent. That that's that's mental 50 years of inflation. God knows.

45:03 In fact, hey, Siri, what's 247,000 times 4,286? 247,000 times 4,286 is 1,058,642,000. So, at this rate, not even counting the fact that house rises, prices of Skyrocket, it's a hockey stick, it will cost over a billion pounds for my grandkids to buy their first house. How is that normal? That's insane. Well, so for anyone who's not mathematically blessed, uh, like myself, then uh, you just need to know that that's a shitload of money that we've no idea how it's possibly going to happen or how anyone's going to afford to buy a house.

45:52 It'll cost a billion dollars, yeah. But one way or another, my message to all dads out there is to get wise about money and where you're doing it, and how you can how you can leverage the money that you do have. Um, in fact, yeah, let's move on from that whole subject inside of the Hero Academy, which by the way is the um 10-week life accelerator program we run we run for dads. There's a whole module in there about money, we've got a lifestyle calculator, net worth, personal cash flow, uh, template. So, really taking control of money so that it stops being a stress for people because actually, money is quite a finite thing, you've got the amount you've got, and you can do stuff with it if you don't spend it.

46:37 All the stress comes from when we haven't got a bloody clue what's going on. Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you the freedom to not be unhappy. The freedom to not be unhappy, exactly that. So, we're going to put that in our box. What they're called time capsule. I'm also going to put in my time capsule a fire stick, a fire stick. I'm assuming Amazon about Amazon one. Amazon fire stick because that is basically so much juice in there for our TV viewing. Oh, I'm going to put a uh a picture of Ted Lasso. Um, oh, that's quite good, yeah, yeah, because it's good, it's good to be able to reference things as that.

47:15 Morecommon Wire's show started 50 years ago, and if you're talking about Amazon, um, and obviously, they they do movies, the biggest, not the biggest, but one of the most famous movies that came out 50 years ago, Charlie Chocolate, Charlie was it, Willy Wonker and Chocolate Factory, that the original uh Gene Heckman one, yeah, wow, 50 years ago, 50 years ago, it's mad now. But one thing I was thinking about putting in a time capsule is music because you want to be able to say this is of its moment, of its time. Now, besides maybe Arlo Parks, if you can find a vinyl Arlo Parks album, I'd recommend it you buy it now because in 50 years' time that's going to be worth a fortune. My personal tip: there were some great albums that came out 50 years ago.

47:58 I've got to say, um, just a couple: Marvin Gaye released What's Going On? Oh, good. Ah, absolutely legendary album just from start to finish. Joni Mitchell released Blue. John Lennon released Imagine. David Bowie, Hunky Dory came out. See, I haven't listened to all these albums. I do consider myself a music lover, but I've not listened to all those albums. Oh, you have a lot of musical wonderment ahead of you. And you've got, but it has to be with something like Hunky Dory as well. Um, because these were kind of pre-Ziggy days, you've got to listen to it either with headphones or

48:41 on a sound system where without doing anything, not in the background while you're washing up, not while you're reading something. You have to do what I keep telling my kids we used to do: listen to music, just sit on a sofa, maybe with a drink in hand, with nothing else to do for the duration of that album. Was on. When was the last time you actually just sat and listened to an album? It would have been in London, most likely. Well, no, actually, no, no, it wouldn't have been in London. But when I lived in London, I did listen to. a lot of music whilst I commuted.

49:18 Um uh I dated a really cool woman for about six months prior to meeting my now ex-wife and her and I listened to quite a lot of music. Um and how long ago was that? That was 2006, 2006, yeah, 2006. Uh, the thing is, and then and then that's kind of once I got married and suddenly had kids, the sort of the idea of buying music sort of went out the window. And then streaming came along and the idea of albums went out the window. But I love listening to albums now it's funny when I listen to albums that I loved, there's songs on there that I forgot were on there and yeah, albums take you on a journey, they do and they are still not often.

50:05 Um, most of the time, a lot of it is just a collection of singles if we're talking about pop music. But you have to search harder now, just because of you know, streaming's come along and there's so much more music out there. Everyone thinks I can earn a fortune off my music and it's most of them can't, most of the music that was released is shit. It always has been. We look back and think of all these golden eras, but we don't, we, we, all the stuff that was shit, we never listen to, we never hear about it, it just gets um left in uh kind of old people's music collections and then given to a charity shop when they die. Um, they these days the quantity is so massive, it was still out there, but the percentage, the number, I'd say the not the percentage, the number of great artists is basically the same.

50:48 They're just hidden for a lot of noise. So you've got to search hard for them, which is why I say Arlo Parks is the best album of the year. She's a young London singer, this kind of weird soul music, but a bit of pop kind of R. It's a whole vibe that's really, really quite cool. Okay, so we're gonna, so a task for the Team Super Dad crew is this week to listen to Arlo Parks' album. Do we have a name for the album, Den? Uh, it is called Collapsed into Sunbeams. Collapsed into Sunbeams. We're gonna listen to Collapsed into Sunbeams and we're gonna report back next week. You know, in fact, we're gonna report back in the Team Super Dad group between now and next week.

51:30 If you go to teamsuperdad.com forward slash group, that is teamsuperdad.com forward slash group, you can place yourself for free in an absolutely awesome community of modern men, dads creating our best lives ever, not the life that we feel stuck in. What's the name again? Arlo Parks. Arlo, A-R-L-O Parks. Arlo Parks. If you like that, also listen to Celeste. Her album's stunning. But I want to hear good music. I want to hear new stuff. So if people have got really good albums, so I, one thing I want to do, yeah, I don't know about you. When I, when I was most into my music, I don't know, obviously not talking my teenage years and the Oasis and the blurs and all that sort of stuff.

52:15 That was kind of formative. But in my early 20s, you had bands like Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Weezer, the Killers. Just all these bands were all coming along at the same time. I feel I've lost that. So if you know any kind of, I won't say angsty, but any Libertine style music, please hit us up. Drop us a link or send us an email or tweet me or carry a pigeon me or serenade me by playing it in a car outside my house. Whatever you want to do. Just tell me who these bands are. Maybe we should have a like a music, like a music journal, like the official Team Super Dad music, music bod.

52:55 Music. What would they call it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We can say artist of the track of the week or album of the month or something like that. Just give us your recommendations. Get them a badge. Like official position, which comes with a badge. And the music advisor, music coach, music recommendation engine, the AI is actually a real person. We can't say whether they're going to be male or female because that would be against the rules of picking someone. Not that's can't say what age they can be either. Can't say what sexual persuasion or colour. I couldn't give a monkey. It's just give me cool music.

53:38 So we've got to be a music lover. We've got to be a music lover. She's got to be. He's got to be who? He, she, whatever. They. Someone told me this week that, in fact, it was my girlfriend, that a girl in the secondary school has decided that she will be, is that what they call it? Known as? Yeah. Recognized as, distinguished as? Yeah. A fox. They identify as a fox. Yes. So they identify as a fox. Okay. I identify as foxy. foxy. I'm not sure that's the same. And I do remember, was it the same girl that when we did our run recently, dressed up as a fox to do the 10k?

54:19 No, although interestingly enough, it could have been. But she, she, she, yeah, apparently that's what kids are doing now. Yeah, this is this is where I'm going to um uh plead the fifth because I don't understand it well enough to be able to comment without sounding like uh a throwback to a bygone era when it comes to identifying as yeah. I absolutely get people's uh opinions and desires and the modern way of living. I just don't fully understand it well enough. I don't want to say that seriously. I want to get some teenagers on who decided to mess with the system and now they identify as fox, cactus, you know,

55:00 can I identify as a cockrocket? I don't, yes, you can identify yourself as anything, yeah. Thank you very much. You've had a haircut and you're looking quite quite quite uh well trimmed there, Glenn. You're looking pretty pretty. I'm more trimmed than normal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'd kind of not, I wouldn't say let myself go, but I kind of, when it, when my beard gets my hair gets at a certain point, I let my beard grow out a little bit and just just go and then just juju juzh. And I feel like Sandra Dee at the end of Greece one. It's a new me. And sometimes I've got a few things coming up, which I'm really looking forward to.

55:37 So keeping on the theme of 50, I want to be able to look good in my photos because the weekend after this, on the Saturday, I'm genuinely learning how to fly. And on the Sunday, I'm learning how to do the Lindy Hop. So Saturday learning how to fly. Sunday night listeners. Yeah, I know a pilot and she's going to take me up to teach me and let me take control of a small plane and that sort of stuff. Yeah, and on the Sunday, I've got a full day booked out to Lindy Hop to learn the moves and to do the things. And I want to look all right when I start doing these so that someone can take some photos and I can stick them on my dating apps.

56:20 And so Nadine can get off my back and I can actually go on a couple of dates. That's what I'm talking about. You do look good actually, Glenn, today. I appreciate it. But they're on my list of 50. Yeah, it's like a bucket list or something. What kind of? A friend challenged me and they said, oh, you know what? Most people say they want to do things, but they can't, most of them can't even come up with 50 things to do. I said, what are you talking about, mate? It's going to be a struggle for me to narrow it down. And so a few years ago, I came up with this list of 50 things. And some of them were in my control, some of them weren't. So like I wanted to see Spurs play in a cup final at Wembley.

57:01 Note, I didn't say win in a cup final because I'm not stupid. I need to make these realistic. But I've seen that. I wanted to learn how to salsa dance. I wanted to learn. So I've done, I wanted to go see an opera. So I went to Glindbourn. I wanted to learn how to sail. So a friend took me on my first sailing race and so on and so forth. So I've done loads of stuff, but there's other things I want. I want to learn how to do a backflip. Exactly. And this is the beauty about this. They're not all big, grand things. I do want to see the Northern Lights and Hike Inc. and all that sort of stuff. So there's big things, but there's little things like that. I want to learn how, I want to solve a Rubik's Cube and learn how to pick a lock.

57:45 You know, there's some skills in there. I want to learn how to play a guitar and a piano so that I can play something. If I sat down at a piano, I could play something and not sound stupid. Here's the thing. I've got a perfect algorithm and theory about playing music, right? You need three songs plus one Christmas number. I make you right. Yeah, three songs plus one Christmas number. Because no one's ever going to want to hear you play more than three songs. Right. And if you have played three, you can quite legitimately say. Yeah, that's me. I'm done. I'm done. Buy me a break. Let someone else have a go. Yeah, like

58:25 three is a magic number. And also, if you've got three, the likelihood is that no one will hear you play the same three, you know? So it's just a magic number. And then, of course, you need a Christmas one so that you can just, if it's a seasonal time, there's always a Christmas. That is a fantastic thing. And I'm going to have to learn it. So I think I can play, I'll be able to do them well enough. You know, I've got big old hands here. So I've got a few octaves worth of play. With some, with some insider information, it wouldn't be as hard.

59:04 hard as someone might imagine. Because, like, when I went and joined the singing choir, um, TJ, brilliant bloke, he said, Oh, you've got a really good voice, actually, uh, and you can sing. And I said, Well, I said, I know I can sing, but it's generally like one or two songs. He goes, Ah, that's because those songs will all be within quite a similar range. So, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, really good song to sing because it stays within quite a close range. There's not like any highs or lows, or basically, so you can, if that happens to be your key, which pretty much is for me, I can nail white Christmas. Yeah, there's certainly for a little while. I was uh, and this is something else that would have been on my list if I hadn't already.

59:49 I was the front man of a band, um, and there were certain cover tracks that just flowed and they were super easy. So, most of the stuff by Green Dale or Blur that was all within my vocal range. But then we'd try and cover one. Um, it's me telling you, right? You've been sang in a band. What the fuck? No, no, no, no, no, no, you've actually been trained. I was just making it up as I went along, okay. Right, um, but yeah, so those things which are within your vocal range, they just sound good, and you feel confident of just singing them, and it just flows naturally. But then, if there's other ones where you know that there's there's just one note which most of the time, you're okay, but sometimes doesn't quite right.

1:00:29 If you've had a beer or two, or you've been tired, your vocal cords aren't quite, then it breaks, and that then throws you off mentally, and you can't do it. So, you've got to be really, really careful and practiced with the song voices that you have. Yeah, well, you do have to warm up the vocals, you do have to warm up the vocals. And just before we finish, Glenn, because it's almost a shame that we've already done an hour, basically. But, women, one of my favorite subjects in the world. We're not yin and a yang, and they're two sides to that penny, right? Um, but as we mentioned, my wonderful um new girlfriend, um, someone else, another dad, because I bumped into a bunch of dads because the kids went back to school today.

1:01:12 It was like my boy's first day at secondary school. So, I bumped into a bunch of dads, and again, they were single dads who are now smiling and looking quite confident. And yeah, transpired that both of them have got new women in their lives and are both incredibly happy. And both of them said to me independently, they were like, It's amazing having a good woman in your life, basically. So, yeah, it's another subject, uh, really, but just the importance of picking well, picking well doesn't mean all women are good or all men are bad, it does mean pick the right one, that's for certain.

1:01:48 But there's some incredible women who are uh incredibly attractive, they might be shitheads for all we know, but uh, they are very attractive uh in their 50s as we speak. So, um, Elle McPherson, Elle McPherson, she is currently. I don't know how old this article is, but uh, I can tell you this article is they've taken the date off, so you don't know it doesn't really matter, she's in her 50s. So, Elle McPherson is in her 50s now. Um, I don't know who half these people are, blimey. What do you mean you don't know who these people are? No, I don't know who they are.

1:02:32 Oh, you said that, Mar Maro, Elizabeth Hurley, yes, yeah, absolutely, is in her 50s. She is indeed, but if we're talking actually, people who are 50, there's quite a list of those. Um, we were talking about dancing earlier. Um, one man who does know the Lindy Hop is Alfonso Ribeiro from uh Fresh Prince of Bel Air, used to play Colton. If you've not seen him dance on Dancing with the Stars, you you're missing out on some absolutely wonderful material. He's a stunning dancer, I aspire to be him. Of course, uh, what we're talking about there is Carlton from uh Fresh Prince of Belair.

1:03:11 Uh, what do you believe to be in love with the dance he did? What was that dance he did in the thing? Yeah, it was to Tom Jones, it's not unusual, and it was kind of a thing kind of the legs would be going, and it was it was amazing. Some other people that I actually saw, go ahead. Well, I was about to say Jennifer Allison is now popping into her 50s, which is uh she is indeed, as is Denise Richards, Denise Richards, you don't know Denise Richards, absolute um, like FHM worthy woman from from yesteryear, but absolutely stunning now.

1:03:51 Okay, okay, talking about talking about stunning in a different way, we've also got Sam Wares Gamgee and Bilbo Baggins. Martin Freeman and Sean Austin are both 50 as well. well. David Tennant turns out Doctor Who hitting 50. He is a sexy man. I've got a friend of mine and she's just less sexy. Very famous, but less sexy. If you, well, unless you, if you he could be, he's the zenith of sexy if you're a bit of a into geeks. He is, but does he have a cockrocket? No, that's why him and Jeff have fallen out.

1:04:29 We know the rider turns 50 this year. The ultimate geeky, dark side sort of hottie. Oh, absolutely. But wewan McGregor also hit in 50. Really? Yeah. He's amazing. Do you know now he's as old as Alec Guinness was when he filmed Star Wars? Alec Guinness in the original Star Wars was 50, as in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan Kenobi. So the actor now is the same age that the original actor was. And I just can't wrap my head around that because the original Star Wars, obviously, Alec Guinness looked like an old man. Whereas Ewan McGregor is basically from Trend Spotting.

1:05:10 He's basically this early 20s kid, but obviously he's not. It's absolutely crazy. Oh, it is crazy. Talk about someone from my youth that's turning 50. Missy Elliott. Missy Elliott is turning 50. Yep, yep, yep. I don't think I ever would have imagined how old Missy Elliott is. Here's one. I can't do a trick on you, but would you have guessed that Snoop Dogg is 50 or older? Much, much older. I mean, Snoop Dogg's 50. How can he only be 50? How can he be the same age as Amanda Holden?

1:05:50 I don't know. It beggars belief. Mark Wahlberg's 50 as well. But also. He can do a backflip. He can do a backflip. Yes, he can. Mark Wahlberg is actually surprisingly cool. That song, that song. Come on, come on. I think my favourite Mark Wahlberg thing is in TED. He had to remember 50 surnames of famous actors for TED 1, I think it was. And he just literally remembered them. He would just say like, Skulker, this is the. And he just remembered them 50 names. And then it worked so well that for the second one, they got him to remember 50 other things.

1:06:35 And he worked hard to remember it. And then they just cut it from the movie. They just did it to piss with him. I think that's quite good. Oh, I love that. Things that you can do to piss with your mates. We're going to get a prank list. I'm going to put this in the group, right? We're going to get a list of pranks, like top pranks on your mates. We're over our normal length of show, but just to say, this last weekend past, I went to like a reunion for my old university friends. It wasn't actually a reunion. It was an anniversary party for Steph and Liz's 20th wedding anniversary, which was. Wow, congratulations, Steph and Liz. Well, you don't know the half of it because that means that Liz has put up with Steph for 20 years.

1:07:20 That sounds like a prison sentence. Steph is from Birmingham, right? So if you know anyone from Birmingham, he's got to do your Birmingham accent. I was surprisingly good actually. It wasn't shit at all. No. Oh, hello. Yeah, Teror Nabit. Steph, Steph was just a classic Brummie. And Liz, they were dating by the end of the first term of uni. Liz was from, she's from sort of up like Black Paulie type way.

1:08:03 I'm pretty sure. That's like Scarbury way. I'm pretty sure she got that sort of way. And yeah, you wouldn't have necessarily put them together, but they could have caught the eye of each other and they were stayed together right through uni. And yeah, it was brilliant. But I'll tell you what, I would say, right? Because Mark, Chris, and I, all mates together, muckers, we made it there. And yeah, a load of people pulled out. They had like 30 people pull out in the last two weeks. Wow. So I just say, don't do that. Yeah, I mean, I mean, COVID aside, right? Fair deals, if you've got a good COVID excuse, but

1:08:43 like the invite was out a year ago. There's nothing, there's nothing that can't be moved. If it's, you know, the babysitter doesn't bring. bring the kids with you. Put them in onesies and flip in, let them sleep on the floor like we had to in our parties. Um, if if I don't know, whatever the excuse, if you've got a year, a chance to see your old mates, get pissed, have a dance, especially if they are your old mates and not just so I went to a school reunion, and the only thing it reminded me of is why I didn't stay in touch with my school friends. Um, but if they were your school friends and you did like them, then make an effort because you know what, life is too short.

1:09:27 Um, and you know, with so many things that could go wrong, so many things that could happen, just make the most of this. These few, if you get two lots of 50 years out of this earth, you're doing well, so make the most of them. I'm going to echo that as the end of this uh 50th episode of the wrap-up. Is life flipping moves pretty fast, as our friend Ferris Bueller once told us. And if it's love, if it's money, if it's habits that are bad for you, I had a conversation with an old friend today who's kind of got himself in a bit of trouble with some less than desirable habits as an excuse of I'm lonely, things keep

1:10:13 going wrong. I'm like, that's not like if that's where you're at, those choices you are taking are way like out there beyond join a singing club, go running, get a hobby, like do anything other than that sort of stuff. Um, it is that life is too short, and the complaints and the concerns and the excuses that we that we have are just pointless. Um, if you're in a relationship that's not working, then flip in, create a vision of like what you want that relationship to be and lay it all out. And if she's up for it, then go all out to make it happen. But if she's not, then accept it and happily break up.

1:10:55 Same with the business and a job, like ask for the promotion or the change of the role, or can I work an extra hour and have Fridays off like and if it's not possible, then start to apply for other ones, but not like with your head in your hands, just take the ball by the scruff of the horns and create the life that you want. You know, your kids just paint that picture with them. What do you want the relationship to be like? What do you have to apologize for? Where, where did you go wrong? Did you let them down? Did you like what kind of fresh start can you literally create? Um, and it can come at any time, but something like a 50th,

1:11:38 a moment in time, a significant event. Um, have a look at yourself in the mirror, have a look at what you want in life, and and just make a decision that it's that today is when it's going to start to get better and have some fun with it. Do some research, talk to some people, go on a flipping, where are you going next week on a Lindy hop lesson? Like, what the hell? Meet some people, make it happen, guys. Yeah, no one's going to make it happen for you. Yeah, and if you're really stuck, Rob has got some ket for you. Uh, all you've got to do is drive up to Durham and he'll get it for you.

1:12:17 He'll get it for you. Interestingly enough, just to bring this full circle, the awesome girlfriend, I have dated some flipping, not necessarily wrong ones, but they're wrong from me. But this one, who was she was from uh Coxaw, um, her name was Lisa from where Coxaw. It's just uh, just outside Durham. Coxaw. Is this another Chicago accent issue? Oh, no, C-O-X-H-O-E. It's a it's a village outside Durham. And why the hell am I saying this? I don't know. You're totally distracted me on the idea. Girlfriend, the girlfriend. I've forgotten. Just saying, she's from Coxaw. Oh, she said, she was the one that said, can I have a croggy?

1:13:03 Full circle, full circle, full circle. Glenn, it's bloody good to see you, mate. Bloody good to see you. 50. I don't know how. I don't know when you join me, but you've definitely been in for 25 at least of these. So thank you very much for your love, time, energy, humor, and wisdom. I do enjoy your wisdom. It's been an absolute pleasure. I'm looking forward to bringing up the century with you as well. Yeah. We've got Nadine coming on in the next couple of weeks. I'm washing my hair that day. I think she's going to tear us apart. Bring it on, Nadine. Bring it on. Here's Nadine. Can we just have a quick look? There's Nadine.

1:13:43 She is married, just by the way, just so we all get this out there that she's coming on to put us in our place. so, yeah, if there's any other people you want on, if you want us to solve any problems for you, answer any big questions in life, then clearly we are the people for you. We're going to have to put some more shit in our time capsule as well, Glenn. So, I didn't do a very good job on actually what I'd put in there. So, if anyone's got any suggestions about what goes in a time capsule in 2021, we'll take that. Whether we make one or not, we might we could make a virtual one. We could cut out pictures of the 20-odd things we want to put in there and dig that into the garden. Until next week, though, it's been a plum pleasing pleasure.

1:14:26 And I'll see you next week on the wrap-up. Take it easy. Oh, we've got the flipping video to play. Here we go. The exit music. This is slick, man. This is 50 lines. 50th episode.
