The Wrap Up #24 cover

About this episode

Johnny Jensen and co-host Glenn confront the rising domestic violence statistics reported by the Metropolitan Police during the COVID-19 lockdown. The Team Super Dad founders highlight the Ask for ANI pharmacy scheme and the Ask for Angela initiative as critical lifelines for those trapped in abusive homes. Jensen provides specific technical guidance on using incognito browser modes to safely access support resources for men, women, and the LGBT community while under surveillance.

Glenn details the grueling reality of homeschooling four children while managing a son distracted by YouTube and a daughter competing for attention. The duo analyzes the Paul Rudd Effect and Tom Cruise’s dental anomalies before pivoting to a viral survey claiming 42% of men now sit to urinate at home. Additional segments track the legacy of Tim Westwood on Pimp My Ride UK, the return of Rachel Stevens to the public eye, and the upcoming Ghostbusters Afterlife trailer directed by Jason Reitman.

Johnny Jensen and Glenn reminisce about the chaotic 11 PM last orders in London pubs and the frantic ritual of ordering multiple Sambuca shots. The hosts debate the merits of 90s icons like Jet from Gladiators and Kelly Brook while planning the logistics of a Sunday roast with a broken oven. Nigel Mannington joins the project to develop a new podcast theme inspired by the Coldcut remix of Paid in Full.

CHAPTER 02 / 18 Discussion

Nostalgia for British Pub Culture and 11 PM Deadlines

The hosts reminisce about the "before children" era of London nightlife and the frantic nature of 11 PM last orders. They describe the practice of ordering multiple pints and shots of Sambuca right before the bar closed, contrasting it with a more relaxed European approach to alcohol. The conversation highlights the chaotic energy of British drinking culture prior to the introduction of 24-hour licensing.

01:53 partly partly they had 24 hour drinking which just means you know just keep on going and uh yeah partly if they never do that how are they going to learn that you're meant to order seven pints at 10 to 11 and then try desperately to to both drink them and convince the barmaids that you are actually drinking yeah we're nearly done we're nearly done i was i was going to say exactly that i mean especially uni days or days in in london you know just the good old days the good old days pre pre if if bc is before christ and ac is after christ then we've definitely got bc before children

CHAPTER 03 / 18 Discussion

Podcast Rankings and Team Super Dad Social Media

Johnny Jensen and Glenn discuss their aspirations to climb the Apple Podcast charts, critiquing the quality of current top 50 shows. They encourage listeners to subscribe and review the show across Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. A brief discussion follows regarding the "Team Super Dad" handle on Twitter, which is currently held by an inactive karate club in California.

So I am absolutely retweeting the hell out of that. Good. Go for it. Well, so yes, what we do is we just chit-chat about some stuff. And actually, actually, we had a right laugh last week. We will touch on a couple of serious subjects, certainly one, because I think it's important, which is, you know, what men do as well. You know, especially as we get into middle age, it is totally normal that in amongst taking the piss out of each other and having some random chit-chat about

CHAPTER 04 / 18 Discussion

Homeschooling Challenges and Parental Stress During Lockdown

Glenn describes a difficult week of homeschooling his four children, ranging in age from seven to ten. He details the struggle of managing a son distracted by YouTube and a daughter seeking attention while he attempts to work. The hosts share the common frustration of balancing professional responsibilities with the demands of remote education during the pandemic.

06:13 women from the 90s that we fancied, we will also just stuff comes up. And this week there is a hot topic which does need mentioning. Yeah, of course. A bit of a bit of a trigger warning, I think, before that one. Yeah, totally. Yeah, yeah. We're just going to touch on domestic violence somewhere in amongst this chat as well, because if people are experiencing it, then that's important, both men and women. And if you're the one, then hopefully we can encourage you to get out before it gets too hot and get some help on that subject. But before we rattle into that, we normally do that somewhere in the middle, basically. But

06:53 how's your week been, Glenn? I'll tell you what, homeschooling has kicked my ass this week. I can swear now because my kids that they've literally about, what is it now? It's 20 past 15, 20 minutes ago, they left. And so I'm at home, which is why I'm able to have a nice evening drink by myself. My God, they've been little shits. I mean, not always naughty. I had to have a go at one of them because she wasn't turning her homework in. And I said, why aren't you turning your homework in? Because I don't like it. As if that's a fucking excuse. And one of them, he didn't dial into his lesson because he was too busy watching YouTube.

07:32 And then the other two, they've been wonderful. But my seven-year-old, he is great as long as you're literally focusing on nothing but him. He'll sit next to him and he'll do so much work. As soon as you take your eyes off him, he just goes haywire. And then my youngest girl, she's 10. And bless her, she is so good. She's so clever, so happy, and so enthusiastic, and energetic, and engaged. And then, so as soon as I've got my youngest son on a lesson doing his thing, her lesson finishes. So she comes down to just tell me about it, to tell me in a happy voice all the things she's doing and sharing and show me her stories and play me the music. And it's lovely, but I've got to do some fucking work. Come on, kids, let me earn the pennies.

CHAPTER 05 / 18 Discussion

Child Education Struggles and Fitness Maintenance

Johnny Jensen shares concerns about his daughter's math skills, jokingly comparing her logic to politician Priti Patel. The conversation shifts to physical health, where Johnny discusses managing back and shoulder pain while trying to maintain a fitness routine. He notes the difficulty of keeping up muscle mass when unable to perform high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts.

08:17 How's your week been? Do you know what? Obviously, both of our weeks are split, you know, around contacts. So yes, I've had a time, time without the kids and time with the kids. And pretty much the same. I don't know how alarmed I should be about my daughter's maths skills, you know, because on the one hand, you're going, it's one kilogram and it's a thousand grams. Okay. So is 1,900 grams a little bit more than 1,000 or closer to 2,000? Is Pretty Patel her math teacher by any chance? I'm teaching her how to serve up, actually.

08:59 Downstairs doing grand. No, but it's just, it's just like, you do know that 1,900 is way closer to 2,000 than it is to 1,000. I'm like, really concerned, really concerned. But no, they've been pretty good. And Blymer, yeah, it's just about focus. You know, it's easy to go into overwhelm because suddenly, how much work am I getting done? How much money am I making? How's it all going? So it's going okay. My fitness, I did a lot of running when the kids were not here this week, which I was really happy about. But because I get this, because I've got this back, neck, shoulder pain problem going, and I've got the fear about doing my hit workouts.

09:38 And so really noticed my sort of muscle muscles just fading away like Martin McFly in Back to the Future. Yeah, I'll say that's my excuse as well. It's got nothing to do with a total lack of effort. If you. missed last week's wrap-up, go back and you can hear Glenn and I are talking about what kind of fitness is important and whether Glenn's about to fall off the edge of a cliff as far as his fitness goes. Spoiler alert, I am well on the way down. I'm going to be hitting the deck very soon. But no, we're doing okay. We're doing okay. It's the weekend. Got some beers, got some plans for the weekend. Actually, I posted, I posted today, right, on the in the Team Super Dad group.

CHAPTER 06 / 18 Discussion

Weekend Planning for Dads and Sunday Roast Logistics

The hosts emphasize the importance of dads taking the lead in planning weekend activities to avoid aimless drifting. Johnny Jensen outlines his upcoming schedule, including a football playdate, a dance workshop, and a movie-making project. He also discusses the technical challenge of preparing a Sunday roast pork with a malfunctioning oven that is scheduled for repair.

weekend planning· roast pork· facebook· team super dad· parenting· cooking

10:20 Uh, if you're not in the Team Super Ad group, then come on over, uh, facebook.com groups, uh, team super dad. Uh, on Facebook, just search for team super dad. Is that all I have to do? Team page, come after you, and you'll get, and there's the group in there as well, basically. But uh, yeah, just saying, if you're running into the weekend, it's a classic thing for dads to do where they where you're busy, busy, busy in life, and you don't plan anything. So then, guess what? Your weekend just drifts by, you don't really get anything done. But you know, going back to a point we were making, and we're going to talk about in a minute about a conversation on Facebook this week where Fidel, another dad coach, he asked women what do they want from their men? And he asked men, what do they want from women? And like, so have a plan, dads.

11:02 Actually, take a little bit of a lead in planning on planning your weekend because not only will you have more fun, but you won't seem like such a sap either. So, um, uh, tomorrow, we've got, I've made a play date going on. We're going to play some football and feed the ducks. Um, obviously, separate activities. Uh, uh, Rosie's got a dance workshop. We've got um, some stuff we're doing with a friend to make a movie, all COVID-compliant. I'll have you know. Um, yeah, and even down to what I'm cooking. I've been out and got the got the stuff roast pork for Sunday and uh golf family with crackling. That's a long story. The bloody oven is still not fixed, although they are now coming on Tuesday. So, how the hell are you going to do roast pork if you ain't got an oven?

11:44 I have got an oven, I'm just not sure it's going to do crackling, right? Okay, it will be crackly, I just don't think it will be actual crackling, you know, like that sort of chewy sort of version where you wish it had gone a bit harder. Yeah, yeah, that's what she said. So, into number one, right? This came up in that fit in that uh post from Fidel. Uh, did you know a large proportion of men actually sit, but this is at home, this isn't necessarily out and about, right? A large proportion of men sit down to we. But can you, can you just a large proportion of men for me?

CHAPTER 07 / 18 Discussion

Survey Results on Men Sitting Down to Urinate

A discussion emerges regarding a survey claiming that 42% of men sit down to urinate at home. Glenn expresses disbelief at the statistic, while Johnny cites potential health and hygiene benefits mentioned in online research. They contrast home habits with the necessity of standing in public pub toilets due to poor sanitary conditions.

hygiene· health· google· survey· pub toilets· bathroom habits

12:21 A large proportion of men doing that would be about half a percent of men because that for me is way larger a proportion of men than I would ever expect to be doing something like that. I just don't understand. What are you saying that most of the men that responded to that said yes? I'm gonna, uh, I'm gonna ask Google, all right? I'll sit down to, I guess it's gonna be urinated, isn't it? Or is it gonna be we, but yeah, so uh, this is something that I do actually of course, Google's got an answer. There is a number of reasons why men might opt to sit down, and research suggests that guys do it more than expected. Come on, guess. We're like asking the guy

13:03 the guy, the uh Cleggie. In uh, you know, I'm a celebrity, okay. What percentage of men sit down to we 10? No, way higher. What? Oh, you're shitting me. No, way higher, no higher, seriously, yeah. 42% of men in our survey said they sat down to we. I go see, presumably, due to spousal pressure. No, no, no, what? So, I do at night, I do at night. Why? I don't understand. Why, why put yourself through some kind of it's hard enough to get it like in and not all around the place at the best of times the toilets in front of you?

13:46 You stand there, it's more effort for you to stop, stop, pull your pants down, turn around, stay down, do the thing, stand up, pull your pants up, just have a wee. There's no stand there, get it out, and have a wee. I agree, right? In a pub or somewhere where there's a Urinal or something like that, but you don't want to sit on any pub toilet. My ex used to work in a pub, and the amount of times that she'd come home and she'd say that basically she had to scrape shit off of the ceiling, let alone from the walls and stuff.

14:27 Pub toilets get pebble-dashed constantly. You don't want to be sitting on those. I know. I can tell you a dear friend of mine when we were about 16, we were at a dinner and dance, and he came back. I'm not going to mention his name, but his name is Matt. He came and got me from the table and he goes, You've got to come and see this. It's something horrific has happened. I did not. not expect to see what I saw because I'd never seen anything like that before in my life. And as he raced in backwards to go, it had come out. Like, oh my gosh, I'd never seen anything like it. To this day, I've not seen anything like it, actually. But I guess back in the day, you were saying like the before times when we went down the pub, you'd go there for a full day.

15:11 And if you hadn't offloaded before you got there, then at some point, there's a chance you're going to need to. And so I had a friend who will remain nameless, who's called Dan, who he, I don't know if he's still like this, but he won't shit while he's got clothes on. So every time he needed to take a shit, and take fucking naked, having a shit in a pub toilet. Why? What? How? Why? No. Any of my friends who are listening, and it's actually one of my brother's really good mates, so I'm not actually going to mention his name, but he is exactly like that. He fully gets naked and he doesn't like doing it in public, obviously. So, but wherever he gets fully undressed, they have a dumb.

15:56 I'll see if you can't. He's one of the funniest guys I know, actually. I'll see if he'll come on. But the thing is, in any case, whether you're naked or not, it's easier, even with just a toilet, a normal toilet, not a urinal, to just stand there and have a wee. I don't see the benefit of sitting down and putting your ass on a toilet. There's no benefit. Unless you haven't got a penis, in which case, you know, fair play. It's probably easier to sit down. I just think it's an aiming thing. It just goes because it's nice and neat, firing, get to spreast your legs. According to this article, actually, it is actually healthier for you as well. Right, of course it is. It's probably trying to sell some sort of step for you to put your feet on. So your ass is angled differently.

CHAPTER 08 / 18 Discussion

Rachel Stevens and 90s Celebrity Crushes

The hosts discuss Rachel Stevens, the former lead singer of S Club 7, noting her recent appearance on Strictly Come Dancing. Johnny Jensen jokes about his specific height requirements for dating, while Glenn expresses admiration for Stevens' career and appearance at age 40. This leads to a broader reflection on the "lads' mags" culture of the 1990s.

rachel stevens· s club 7· strictly come dancing· 90s· celebrity crushes· dating

16:37 Look, it says here, first line of this blog. Standing up to Pete is one of the greatest gifts granted to men. What's that movie where one of the women just walks up to the urinal and stands up and has a slash? It's got to be. I don't know, but there's plenty of those videos on Pornhub. I've not actually searched up that category to be fair, actually. Allegedly. Allegedly. It leads nicely onto actually hot in the 90s. What? Women stand up to Pete leads up to the pleasure of the psychology. You get some look-alikes, don't you? You get those look-alike videos. Oh, the Paris Hilton sort of lookalikes. Came up on the bottom of the football blog post this week.

17:20 You know, it's like they're like from Tabala and like these clickbait things, right? So it says Rachel Stevens at 40, you know, the lead singer of S Club 7. I know her very well. Not just the one. Well, I say I don't know her, sadly, because I've not yet met and wooed her, but because I would love to work. She is stunningly beautiful. Stunningly beautiful. And was back when she did, oh, what's it called? Strictly come dancing. Great dancer as well. Even if she hasn't wood feet. She's very short as well. I think I've got a height limit on future. Have you got a bracket that they're the only women that you'll choose to woo? Yeah, below five foot four is out. Really?

18:06 No, I think below five foot, yes, but once they're in heels, they're a few inches higher or taller as well. So when you're going out, there's less of a differential. And then when you're not going out, you know. Oh, yeah, it's good. It doesn't matter too much. She's got a good access point there. But no, I think you're just saying that. So you can keep Rachel Stevens in the wake. You can have all the Amazonians. No, I did have an awesome girlfriend when I was at uni. We were dating for about three years and actually one of the one of the best women I've ever known. And but she was a bit short. So just on reflection, in terms of, oh, in terms of

18:46 women, perfect women, you know, categories, things I want and don't want in a future relationship. Yeah. Talking about five foot four. Just putting it out there. Sorry. Sorry. And I wouldn't say no right now, actually, given the five-year window that it's been. Whereas for me, it's all about the personality, honest. So Rachel Stevens, huh? Yes, lovely girl. 100%. Intelligent. If anyone's got a number, then I'm more than happy to have her. No, she's happily married. Damn it. And still hot. So it turns out. So I thought, given that she was in S Club 7, I thought she was way younger. But no, she's just 40 last year. Rachel Stevens. I'm Googling her.

CHAPTER 09 / 18 Discussion

Age Gaps and Cultural References in Dating

Glenn and Johnny discuss the importance of shared cultural references when dating, such as knowledge of He-Man and Skeletor. They debate the appropriate age range for partners, with Johnny preferring a window of six to seven years older or younger to ensure common ground. They also mention celebrities like Kelly Brook and the evolution of their preferences since the FHM era.

kelly brook· fhm· he-man· dating· pop culture· age gap

19:30 Yeah, I would definitely, definitely be intimidated to talk to her. She's she was like, what do they call? What were the lads mags called? FHM, nobody, that sort of thing. yeah, top, top totty. Don't you miss the 90s? I mean, I'm all for equality. I think it probably is wrong that there's a naked, you know, boobs out there. No, it's all about equality. If there's an equal amount of stuff going on that men are kind of laying about in bikinis, that's fine, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Talking about women from the 90s, a friend actually did try and set me up with Kelly Brooke, not realizing that actually Kelly again is in a happily married relationship.

20:13 Oh, talking about married, but certainly in a long-term relationship. What is it with these attractive, successful, rich, intelligent, funny, attractive women, and them keep finding men before they've met me? What the fuck is going on? I know. I think you need to. It's possibly the circles you move in, Glenn. You need to, I don't know. Also, I couldn't tell you the hot, famous, semi-famous women that are out there these days, but back in the 90s, I could tell you them all. So for all the negatives of lads, mags, and stuff like that, you know, there's it, you know. Well, that's that's because, but the thing is, you're talking about uh age differences and so on. Uh, I don't know if you were, but but kind of your your brackets of height.

20:53 I've got the same thing for age. I'm attracted to women, roughly speaking. There are exceptions, either way, but roughly speaking, that I could have gone to school with. So sort of six, seven years younger than me, no more than six, seven years older than me. That kind of window, the sort of women who know that He-Man were and Skeletor is the bad guy from He-Man, not from the money supermarket adverts. I want cultural references. And so when I was in my 20s, then FHM was full of people and women in their late teens to late 20s. And so that was our bracket. Whereas now, I'm not looking at someone who's 20 years old, 21 years old. For me, that's weird because they could have gone to school with my daughter. With your kids, yeah, yeah, totally.

21:31 That's just out of bounds for me. So, yeah, I couldn't tell you who the younger women are. And unfortunately, very rarely does a beautiful older woman appear from nowhere out of this on the scene. Oh, yeah, I walk up. Hi, yeah, yeah. You're true. Okay, good. That's that's that's why I don't know. Okay, good. Right. So now I'm now, not only have I swerved being a pedo, but um, but I can also let my conscience be at peace. Be at peace. I will, however, now be uh side researching hot women from the 90s just because I can we can bring this, we can bring this back, right? We can bring back some features. Sorry about my kids sounding like they're killing something downstairs, but they are on Fortnite.

CHAPTER 10 / 18 Discussion

Gladiators and Iconic 90s Actresses

The hosts recall their favorite 90s icons, specifically highlighting Jet (Diane Youdale) from the TV show Gladiators. They mention other stars of the era, including Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Claudia Schiffer, and Cameron Diaz in her debut role in The Mask. Johnny Jensen proposes a recurring segment titled "Hot from the 90s" to track where these celebrities are today.

jet· gladiators· diane youdale· baywatch· cameron diaz· isla fisher

22:12 I having told them three times to be quiet. I'm just going to forget about it now because we're here doing this. So who was your celebrity crush in the 90s? I know mine, I think my coming of age was Jet from the Gladiators. I'm on a podcast. I told you downstairs about 20 minutes ago. I'm on the podcast. Hello, Johnny's kid. So come and say hello and then nap off. What do you mean, how many have I had? She's saying, how many beers have I had? Like, there's like a hello, hello, hello. Good. You're live to the nation. Yeah. Oh, hi. I just fell on the sit. Okay, so tell your brother to be a bit more quiet as well.

22:52 Shut the door. I'm really hungry. Okay. As you can smell, dinner's going to be ready as soon as this podcast's done. That's why I made it ready. Shut the door. So, yeah, so my crush. Oh, well, I had Jet from the Gladiators. Did you have Wolf from the Gladiators? No, not Wolf. Jet, totally Jet. That came up actually this week. I said that Jet was one of my crushes. She's been on TV a lot recently. Hang on, shut the door. Diane Udell. Yeah, Diane Udell. She's one of those frustrating women who not only is stunningly beautiful, a talented athlete, but also has the brains attached as well.

23:36 So again, she can just pick and choose whoever she wants. And I'm sure she has. I need to find these women desperately. Yeah, well, you know, you've got to go to like, it's like if you want to date a runner, that was people listening to the podcast. That wasn't Glenn's like creaky bones or squeaky art with a bottle of what is that, a bottle of whiskey, bottle of, yeah, this is some Woodford Reserve bottle number 2788. It's quite nice, actually. I do recommend it. 2788. The previous 277 bottles are kicking about under Glenn's desk. Yeah, I use them for insulation. So yeah, Jet was up there.

24:20 Obviously, what's the name from Baywatch? Everybody had it off. Cameron, yeah. Or Carmen Electric. I always was more Carmen than Pam, but don't get me wrong. I'd be happy to meet and discuss things with either of them. Yeah, but totally getting out of the sort of though that level. What's Claudia Schiffer? Oh. I always thought she was absolutely gorgeous. And what's the name? Cameron Diaz, yes, yeah, yeah, I didn't have a lot of fun as well. When she made her debut in the mask, she was really young, she was about 20, 21 years old, or something like that. Isla Fisher, actually married to Sasha Baron Cohen now, yes, yeah, absolutely.

25:01 Well, I mean, I could sit here like sharing the names of beautiful women who are far more successful than I will ever be. So, but it's not, he's not going to make me happy. We will, for all those fans of the wrap-up, we will have a hot from the 90s feature from now on, which will basically be where Glenn and I swoon over a selected uh hottie from the 90s and find out what she's up to now. Uh, because by the way, not everybody ages that well, and no disrespect to women or men, um, because we've all got to age, right? So, this is a bit shallow that we do this, but there are some people who are not looking quite so good.

CHAPTER 11 / 18 Discussion

Tom Cruise and the Paul Rudd Effect

The conversation turns to actors who seemingly do not age, specifically Tom Cruise and Paul Rudd. Johnny Jensen points out a specific dental anomaly regarding Tom Cruise's "center tooth" that becomes noticeable once identified. They define the "Paul Rudd Effect" as a combination of good looks and a personality that makes an individual appear even more attractive and youthful.

25:37 Um, top gun lady, top gun lady, Kelly Pet, yeah, Kelly, Kelly, someone, Kelly McGinnis, Kelly, yes, Kelly, but Kelly McGillis, if you compare how Tom cranks Tom Cranks, Tom Cranks, and the Carlin's, no, Tom Hanks, uh, no, no, no, not Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise, how can how can Kelly McGillis have aged like she should have? And Tom Cruise basically hasn't aged, is that just because he sacrifices people and bathes in their blood, that's all there is. Have you seen talking about Tom Cruise? Have you ever seen the thing? And I recommend everybody who's listening to this to do this.

26:13 Um, Google Tom Cruise tooth, Tom Cruise centre tooth, and once you've seen it, you'll never unsee it. Essentially, Tom Cruise's teeth are shifted over, and he's got one tooth in the middle of his mouth, like in the center line of his mouth. And the symmetry line is a single tooth, um, and his teeth are all off-center. And it's, it's, as soon as you notice it, every time he smiles, all you can see is his middle tooth. Weird, huh? I did not know. And the weirdest thing is, that's not the weirdest thing about him, obviously. No, how does he stay so young? Absolutely like unbelievable. I think basically, I'm his Dorian Gray, so he refused.

26:53 No, actually, not his Dorian Gray, I'm Paul Rudd's Dorian Gray because Paul Rudd, even more so than Tom Cruise, doesn't age. So, I'm taking on all the aging for Paul Rudd. I'm taking on that pain and suffering and facial decrepitation so that Paul Rudd doesn't have to. And you know what, World? You're welcome. What are you saying? Then, you're saying you're getting wrinkly and old, and he's not. I'm old, yeah, yeah, massively. I mean, look at this face. 40 years old, and I look I'm about 100, whereas Paul Rudd looks younger than my children. So, what is what is Paul Rudd? Like a what do you mean who is Paul Rudd? Paul Rudd is

27:34 he's one of the most legendary actors out there. He was Ant-Man. Um, he's okay, he's an incredible actor, but also just a ridiculously nice guy. He's the perfect example of an eight, like attractiveness eight, but his personality takes him up to a 10. It's called, I call it the Paul Rudd effect, you know, when personality just elevates someone so that you know what, they don't look bad, but they're so funny and nice and just a wonderful, perfect human being that they're totally attractive. He doesn't sit down to win, I'm pretty sure, you know what? Yeah, no, he doesn't, he absolutely doesn't. What about if he's under pressure from his spouse? He never misses,

CHAPTER 12 / 18 Discussion

Domestic Violence Awareness and Support During Lockdown

Johnny Jensen addresses the rise in domestic violence reports during the COVID-19 lockdown, citing information from his sister who works with the police. He explains the "Ask for ANI" scheme in pharmacies and the "Ask for Angela" initiative in bars as discreet ways for victims to seek help. The hosts emphasize that the pressures of lockdown do not excuse violence and encourage those affected to seek professional support.

28:15 he doesn't need to, he never misses. This is Paul Rudd, okay, it's just like a laser straight in, yeah. Absolutely. Well, listen, on the subject of spousal pressure, right? Uh, we're gonna just dip into this slightly heavier subject. Uh, my sister works for the police, she's uh, she's a civilian in the police, and she tells me that domestic violence is absolutely through the roof, uh, which is you know, we all have been there in terms of arguments and anger, like shouting at our kids, having a row with our wife. I mean, I wouldn't be divorced if if you know, if things had gone smoothly, but um,

28:53 you know, I'm not a counsellor in that regard, I'm not a domestic violence expert, I don't have much I can really contribute to people who are going through that, but my encouragement is that there is support and help out there. Um, and this goes for any women listening who might be experiencing it and also men who might be experiencing it as well. And that's not to say one is better or worse than the other, but it's just to say it happens to both sexes. Uh, you mentioned something that people can say in it in a chemistry, yeah, there's two things, um, and I'm a little bit frustrated that they've not just made this the same name. Essentially, the idea is you can go into a chemist and say, um, can I pick up a prescription for?

29:34 for Annie? Or can I ask, you say, Can I see Annie, please? And essentially, it's a trigger, it's an alert that the pharmacists are aware of and are familiar with. So, if anyone asks for Annie, essentially, they're saying, Something isn't right in my home life, and I need support, I need help, I need someone to do something with me, and they can start taking action on that. The reason I'm frustrated is because since about 2016, there's been a similar thing in pubs and bars and clubs where essentially you ask for Angela. And if you, and this is kind of become more common in pubs, where if you say, Oh, I need to get a drink for Angela, or can I speak to one of your barmaids called Angela?

30:17 Again, the thing is, if you're worried about you're on a date, for example, and the date is acting up, or you're worried that they might have drugged you, or you're just feeling unsafe, or for whatever reason, pubs are able to do that. So, I'm frustrated they haven't used the same name, and it sounds stupid when you're in a panic. You don't want to be thinking, Should I be asking for Annie or Angela? But Alfred, like someone called A, help me. Yeah, so we don't have to worry about pubs at the moment. But if anybody is experiencing this sort of thing and you can find any, and there's always you can you can find an excuse to go to a pharmacy for headache pills or contraception or whatever.

30:57 Um, go in there and ask for Annie, and you should get access to a bit of support that might just be the thing that supports you out of a horrific situation. And I can understand why these situations are arising. Let's be honest, it's it's lockdown. We normally have a situation where people can leave the house, they can go to work, they can go to sports, they can they can get their frustrations out in a million different ways. And now we're all being clammed up and crammed into the same four walls 24 hours a day. No excuse, no escape for work, no escape from financial pressures, which are mounting up with people being furloughed and losing their jobs. The pressure is massively increasing at a time when the access to support is decreasing.

CHAPTER 13 / 18 Discussion

Mental Health Resources and Incognito Search Safety

The hosts provide advice on how to safely research domestic violence support using incognito browser modes to hide search history from abusive partners. They highlight resources available on the Met Police website for men, women, and the LGBT community. Glenn and Johnny offer their own platforms as starting points for dads needing to reach out for help or emotional management.

31:42 So, I can understand, even though in not for even a fraction of a millisecond, does it excuse domestic violence? You can understand why it's rising. Um, and I just hope that people can start getting the support and help that they need. Yeah, totally. And you know, you just alluded there to getting out. Like, if it doesn't have to end up at domestic violence levels, you know, if you're if you're stressed out, frustrated with each other, then flip it, put your coat on and grab your hat and just go for a walk for half an hour and literally just chill, chill out. And when you get back indoors, what if any tendency to sort of pick that subject back up? Just be like, right, you know, hopefully, you say something like, I love you, we're not going to do this, let's chat in the morning.

32:25 And if you can hug it out, then brilliant. If you sleep on the couch, that's fine. Um, um, and also, I did a quick Google search earlier for this, and there's so many different helplines on the Met Police website on their page. There's lines for men, for women, for LGBT, basically. Um, one thing to say: if you are searching for these things and you're in any way concerned, uh, use incognito mode. Um, some people worry that they might be so their partner might see them searching for help and so on. Every every Chrome, I know who has, and I'm pretty sure that all of the kind of mobile ones do. There'll be some sort of incognito mode. Effectively, it doesn't record your searches, so nobody will know that you've done it.

33:06 Close down the tab afterwards, but nobody will know you've been searching for that sort of information. Um, so you don't have to worry about that, and you can get that access, and it's free. Um, and there are people out there who are willing to help. And I know, Johnny, I'm sure your DMs are open, just like I know mine are. I'm not an expert, and I, you know, there's I can only point people in the right direction, but there are people out there who can help you. Yeah, totally, and that's a really valid point as well. Team Super Dad group, the other dads' groups, I'm parts of single parent groups. There's, and people ask these questions all the time. So, I think, I think, to finish on this subject is just don't suffer alone. Just life's too short. Just reach out and get the help you need.

33:45 And not just, and this sounds ridiculous, but not just if you're the victim. If you're someone who you know that things are getting on top of you and you're feeling this way and you've done things, then make a difference, make a change, speak to someone, get some help, because you'll benefit from that as much as anybody else. Yeah, totally, totally. So, good. Well, I like to do that. And it's not always that a subject is obviously on my mind, but that one came up mainly because my sister mentioned it, basically. So, anyway, back to the fun stuff. This is a real one show. One show. One show. We've talked about standing up to we. What we have talked about is the wonderful, glorious legendary actor that is Paul Rudd.

CHAPTER 14 / 18 Discussion

Ghostbusters Afterlife and the 2016 Reboot Critique

Johnny Jensen and Glenn discuss the trailer for the new Ghostbusters sequel starring Paul Rudd and directed by Jason Reitman, son of the original director. They express strong negative opinions regarding the 2016 female-led reboot, arguing it was a poor addition to the franchise. They look forward to the new film as a proper continuation of the original 1980s cinematic legacy.

ghostbusters· paul rudd· harold ramis· jason reitman· movie sequels· cinema

34:29 Um, and uh, I don't know if you realize this, but you mentioned something earlier about Ghostbusters, the new trailer. Guess who the star of that is? Shut up, it's Paul Rudd. I'm telling you, the man we are so slick, we don't even realize it. So, I said to Glenn earlier, Have you seen? Because it turns out, right, Glenn and I, not only do we live quite close to each other, we both support the same football team. We're literally going to find out our mums were cousins or something like that sometime down the line. But, um, but uh, yeah, interesting sort of movie interest. So, I said to him, Have you seen the Ghostbusters, uh, the sequel? But don't worry, it's not part of the reboot franchise, it's part of the original.

35:13 I'm sorry, I'm happy to say this, and it's got fuck all to do with the fact that it had women in it. It was shit, it was absolutely, it was, it was offensively bad. The Ghostbusters, the original Ghostbusters movie is one of the greatest, one of the pinnacles of 80s cinema. Yeah, the sequel was a bit shit, but it wasn't terrible. Whereas that piece of garbage, when I rule the world, that's going to be one of the movies that I insist is erased from humanity's record. Every copy of that is going to get burned. What do they call it? They call it culture cleansing or something. I'm okay. I'm okay with you. Yeah, yeah, they're gonna, they're gonna erase the two seconds that Donald Trump was in Home Alone.

35:55 Yeah, I'm okay with that as well. They're gonna get like Mr. Blobby or someone's gonna be super imposed on that situation. Crowdfunding competition, you know, we can win win a place. And if every penny of every entry gets donated to Planned Parenthood, perfect, perfect. So, Ghostbusters, right? It's you know, if anyone is not a 90s movies fan or whatever, but uh, Ghostbusters, the new one coming out, the Harold Ramis, who was actually one of the Ghostbusters in the original one and directed it, uh, his son is the writer and director of this sequel, and it looks absolutely epic.

CHAPTER 15 / 18 Discussion

Movie Franchises and the Quality of Sequels

The hosts debate the rare instances where movie sequels match or exceed the original, citing Aliens and The Empire Strikes Back as exceptions. They express skepticism about the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick, questioning if the original film needed a continuation. The discussion briefly touches on older franchises like Porky's and the disappointment of re-watching Weekend at Bernie's as an adult.

top gun 2· terminator· aliens· star wars· weekend at bernie's· porky's

36:37 Um, but when like, do you remember when sequels are garbage? Most of them are, most of them, I mean, the fact that we can say there are what there's Terminator, Aliens, um, there's maybe Empire from Star Wars. Um, there are hardly any ones where the sequel is at least as good, if not better. Um, um, Breakdance 2, Electric Boogaloo. No, no, no, no, no, no, because that implies that, okay, the first one was good, and then the second one's better. Let's put that sort of differentiator in there. Oh, maybe, but yeah, yes, sequels are shit, generally speaking, because they used to be, yeah, but but these days, everyone wants a franchise, everyone wants a Marvel MCU or a Star Wars where you can just build it out into a mega, mega franchise.

37:31 And so they're actually investing money in decent sequels. Totally. So Top Gun 2, going to be good or going to be bad? Top Gun 2 is going to be crap. I fear that as well. It just didn't need a sequel. That's what I fear. Some movies are perfect. There are so many movies that we're looking at, you're thinking, you don't need to do anymore. You don't need to reboot it. You don't need to have a sequel. Just leave it as this little section of cinematic history, which is just perfect. Porkies. Hey. Porkies. They did have a load more. I think they did. They did loads more. Yeah. Yeah. Weekend of Bernie's did not have a number two.

38:09 That's good. Also, Weekend of Bernie's did not age at all. Well, I watched that the other week thinking it was going to be hilarious and it wasn't, but there was moments. It is horrible when you go back to a movie that you've not seen in a long time and you're thinking, this is going to be great. It's going to be brilliant. And then it's just let down. It's like going back to an X and it's just, no, the magic is gone. The Walker Shame. The Walker Shame. So just like, by the way, I'm working on it's kind of the wrap-up basically to end this. This what I have been doing this week is I'm working on a new Team Superdad theme tune, sing the theme tune, play the theme tune. Sing the theme tune. But yeah, a friend of mine, Nigel Mannington, epic sound engineering guy.

CHAPTER 16 / 18 Discussion

New Team Super Dad Theme Tune Project

Johnny Jensen announces he is collaborating with sound engineer Nigel Mannington to create a new theme tune for the Team Super Dad podcast. He describes a vision for a mashup style inspired by the Coldcut remix of "Paid in Full," incorporating famous movie clips related to fatherhood. He invites listeners to submit suggestions for funny or iconic "dad" soundbites to include in the intro.

38:53 Obviously, their world is a little bit shut down right now. So he's helping me with the new one. So I'm working on it. The one I've got, I did quite quickly. So I would love to know from people, right? If you think it's crap, let me know. But it was done quite quickly. And I probably do accept that. It's, you know, it's Team Super Dad, real dad, living their best life ever. You are not alone. So bits of that will stay, but I'm not going to ditch the American and American voice, basically. But I feel like I want to do like a bit of a mashup. Do you remember the cold cut? remix of Paid in Full? No, I don't. I'm going to have to Google that. So it kind of, are we going to get in trouble from the so-and-so gods if we play a song?

39:36 We might do. I think less than 30 seconds is fine, especially if this is a non-for-profit organization at the moment. Okay, non-for-profit organizing. It is by virtue of total income. Oh, there's Deb McGrath. He's going to go. I've got a screen share to bring it in, I think. Here we go. Skip pads. Right. So the bit that I want to do, basically, it's like a mashup at the beginning. So I want the theme. I want the Stream Yard theme tune to be a bit of a mashup. Right. And we're going to get lots of sound clips from movies that refer to dads and stuff. So I think this will now come in, okay?

40:22 Can you hear that? I can hear it in the background through your mind. I can hear it enough that I remember what it is. And yes, that is a great, a great intro. So basically, it's grabbing sounds from different movies and different clips and things like that. Bump up the volume. Dance. Think another master plan. Top quality song. Apparently, The Cold Cut Boys got paid 750 quid each for doing that remix. The song made an absolute fortune, but it all went back to Eric B. and Rakeem in royalties.

41:04 Bastards. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, so basically, I'm looking to include moments. And I'm like, how many are we going to get here? All depends on how many people listen to the Team Super Dad podcast for 41 minutes. Millions and millions of people. It'll be inundated with suggestions here. But if there's clips from movies, from songs, from TV shows that are kind of dad-related or even just funny, you know, like different strokes of what you talk about, Wilson? What you talk about, Willis? Willis? Wilson? Who the fuck is Wilson?

41:46 I don't know. I read the comic, didn't do the TV show. But yeah, so if you've got an idea of a kind of a dad reference or something that you think is ultimately Glenn and I like style sound clip or a grab from a movie or a TV show, then let us know and we'll see what we can do to drop that into the new intro that's coming down the line. Just to check, as we're talking about, in order to be a dad, do you have to be allowing the words motherfucker? Because I mean, logically, I can give the E to explicit to certain episodes where there's been a lot of swearing.

42:29 I can do that. But I think if I put it in the intro music, it could be tricky. That's fine. We can have a. What did they used to do on Holly Oaks? Like after dark or after late night holly oaks or something? Yeah. Yes. Raunchy. Yeah. Yeah. So basically, you have two versions of it. Yeah. So watch this space. We've got a new a new theme tune, sing the theme tune, dance the theme tune. It's coming down the line. And I'm looking forward to dropping that into our new future episodes. Okay, you did go a little bit. Oh, what was the name of the white DJ who used to do the Pimp My Ride UK? Yes, his name is totally there, but my early stage dimension.

CHAPTER 17 / 18 Discussion

Tim Westwood and the Pimp My Ride UK Legacy

The hosts discuss the surprising age of British DJ Tim Westwood, noting he was born in 1957 and is currently in his 60s. They recall his time hosting Pimp My Ride UK and his long tenure at BBC Radio 1. The conversation centers on how Westwood's public persona has remained consistent over decades despite his actual age.

43:14 I'm going to have to look it up now. Pimp My Ride UK was done with the hosted by Tim Westwood. You went a tiny bit of Tim Westwood in there. Now, there's a guy who you won't believe how old he is. How old is he? It's like in his 60s or something like Peter was born in 1957. There you go. Look at my parents. He's 63 years old. He was on radio one until only about five or six years ago.

43:50 Oh my goodness. I mean, some people age and look young, the Paul Rudd effect, whereas he hasn't aged, but I don't think he's ever quite looked any different to how he looks now. Yeah, but he's like 63, so what do you expect? I mean, yeah, but that wasn't so good when you were 20. Get on. He was 40. So that's incredible. That's blown my mind. That has. Oh, what a way to end. Good. We can end. It's always. always good to end with your mind blown in any situation, whether it's leaving the pub at 11 old school or on a date for the first time or ending the wrap-up podcast for another week.
