The Wrap Up #24 cover

About this episode

Jonnie Jensen and Glenn the Dating Dad launch the 24th edition of the Team Superdad Wrap Up to address the mounting pressures of lockdown parenting. Jensen details the upcoming Reveal Your Hero workshop while Glenn recounts the logistical strain of homeschooling four children alongside professional obligations. The pair contrasts the frantic 11 PM last-orders culture of British pubs with the modern father's struggle to maintain physical fitness and mental clarity during a global pandemic.

Domestic violence rates have surged during recent lockdowns, prompting a critical look at the Ask for Annie pharmacy scheme and the Ask for Angela initiative in hospitality venues. The hosts provide technical advice on using incognito browser modes to protect digital privacy when seeking help from the Met Police or support groups. Cultural discussions shift to the Paul Rudd effect and the agelessness of the Ant-Man star, the controversial digital removal of Donald Trump from Home Alone 2, and the career longevity of former Pimp My Ride UK host Tim Westwood.

Glenn compares his fading muscle mass to Marty McFly in Back to the Future while debating the merits of sitting down to urinate for household hygiene. The conversation turns nostalgic with a retrospective on FHM and Loaded magazine culture, featuring memories of Diane Youdale as Jet from Gladiators and Rachel Stevens of S Club 7. Sound engineer Nigel Mannington joins the production effort to develop a new mashup-style intro inspired by the Cold Cut remix of Paid in Full.

Good to have you here it's Friday not always on a Friday but it is always the end of the week because what better way to end the week well probably the best way to end the week isn't having an absolute piss-up somewhere but uh... Staying on tonight? I'm way ahead of you Oh he's changed colour his drink has changed colour so I've actually got a classic of British alcoholic beverages The good old can of curling here But you are joining Team Superdab Wrap Up Glenn, aka Dating Dad and myself Jonnie Jensen founder and creator of Team Superdad the community for modern dads.

01:32 But, the wrap up. We don't do too much selling in the wrap-up we have a good old chit chat and banter as if we were in the pub! That's the best place to be and if you can't be in the pub then this is a virtual pub. A virtual pub where we're never going to call time on anything you're drinking. Chime gentlemen! Our kids are never gonna know that really aren't they? Good old... Partly they had 24 hour drinking, which just means you know just keep on going. And yeah if they never do that how are they gonna learn that you're meant to order seven pints at 10-11 and then try desperately to both drink them and convince the barmaids that you are actually drinking? Yeah we were nearly done! We're nearly done I was gonna say exactly that especially uni days or days in London You know just good old days

CHAPTER 02 / 18 Discussion

British Drinking Culture and the 11 PM Deadline

A discussion of past British drinking habits focuses on the "before children" era and the frantic nature of ordering multiple pints and shots before the 11 PM bar closing time. The contrast is drawn between this high-speed consumption and a more relaxed European approach to alcohol.

drinking culture· sambuca· london· university days· 24-hour drinking· alcohol consumption

02:19 If BC is before Christ and AC is after Christ, then we've definitely got... Before children. Yeah good. Those were the days but yeah totally right! 2311 will have 16 sambucas. Oh yeah, you've got to line up the shots! So that's two sambucas each and how many pints each? Okay another sound sixteen pints please. Basically we've gotten two more drinks lined up. Two shots and two pints uh and some kind of half an hour left to consume them all. And yeah they probably were right it did encourage um

03:03 Well, people getting up to a line drink. It wasn't exactly European approach to alcohol was it? We weren't sitting outside sipping our coffee with a shot of some clear spirit or other no, we were absolutely tanking it down because we knew there was a deadline and you got to meet the deadline! Yes good some structure to our carnage absolute carnage so if those who are new to the wrap-up it is really a celebration of our week all things that we've been up to And increasingly, that's not a lot. So we've cranked up the random chit chat which actually flicking through the top podcasts on Apple Podcasts recently there is some serious in my opinion... Not that this is super high quality taking on Radio 1 podcasting. You speak for yourself! I know but there is some real garbage in the Apple Top 50

CHAPTER 03 / 18 Discussion

Podcast Rankings and the Team Superdad Twitter Handle

The hosts discuss their aspirations to climb the Apple Podcast charts while critiquing the quality of the current Top 50. A specific grievance is aired regarding the @TeamSuperdad Twitter handle, which is currently held by an inactive karate center in California.

03:58 So, Glenn I hope that we are going to be zooming up those charts soon. So if you are watching support this right? Get over subscribe share this give us a review We're big boys. We can take it if you think this is awful. I can't just only say nice things please my ego is fragile Fragile yeah I didn't spend 15 grand on counselling to get views on iTunes. I did that for free!

So we do this live on Facebook and YouTube and Twitter obviously you can watch the replay there if you are watching replay then just comment Are we live on twitter then?

I'm not saying it several times cause you need to hear things several times for people to remember them Yeah, You're like Dale Carnegie there doing some brainpower stuff on me there. Pay close attention to Glenn and you'll learn a lot Yeah, so I've lost my train of thought now. Twitter periscope? Someone stole your Twitter handle! No no there's this... There's Team Super Dad on twitter is some rat dude in America who has got a karate club and he doesn't even use it. Oh man!

05:28 I've contacted them and asked them for it. So if anyone knows Team Superdad who runs a karate center in California, I think it is popping another word because he's not using and I want to well, I'm just giving you a follow anyway so yeah that doubles things up and I can see on I can see on at Jonnie Jensen as well You are broadcasting live 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 uh 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 um women from the 90s that we fancied uh we will also uh just stuff comes up and this week there is a hot topic

CHAPTER 04 / 18 Discussion

Homeschooling Challenges and Parental Frustrations

Glenn describes a difficult week of homeschooling his four children, detailing the specific distractions of his seven-year-old son and ten-year-old daughter. The narrative highlights the struggle of balancing professional work requirements with the constant demands of children during the day.

homeschooling· parenting· youtube· lockdown· work-life balance

06:21 which does need mentioning. Yeah, totally. Yeah yeah it's 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 know if you're the one then hopefully we can encourage you to get out before it gets too hot under and get some help on that subject but before we rattle into that what would we normally do? That summer in the middle basically but how's your week been Glen? I tell you what, homeschooling has kicked my ass this week. I can swear now because my kids are 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 there've been little shits! Not always naughty, I had to have a go 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

07:24 As if that's a fucking excuse! One of them, he didn't dial into his lesson because he was too busy watching YouTube. And then the other two... they've been wonderful but my seven-year old is great as long as you're literally focusing on nothing but him. He'll sit next to him and it will do so much work As soon as you take your eyes off him, he just goes haywire. And 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 gotta do some fucking work! Come on kids let me earn the pennies! How's your week been?

CHAPTER 05 / 18 Discussion

Childhood Education and Physical Fitness Maintenance

The conversation shifts to a daughter's struggles with basic mathematics and the host's own efforts to maintain physical fitness. References are made to running and the fear of HIIT workouts due to neck and shoulder pain, comparing fading muscle mass to Marty McFly in Back to the Future.

maths· priti patel· running· hiit workouts· back to the future· marty mcfly

08:18 Do you know what, obviously both of our weeks are split around contact. So yes I've had time without the kids and time with the kids and pretty much the same. It...I don't know how alarmed I should be about my daughter's maths skills You know, cause on the one hand you're going it's 1 kilogram and it's a thousand grams. Okay so is 1900 grams a little bit more than 1000 or closer to 2000? Is Priti Patel her maths teacher by any chance?

08:54 I'm teaching her how to serve up actually. Downstairs doing grand! You do know that 1900 is way closer to 2000 than it is to 1000? I'm like really concerned, really concerned but no they've been pretty good and And Blimer, yeah it's just about focus. You know it's easy to go into overwhelm because suddenly the like how much work am I getting done? How much money am I making? How is 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 was really happy about but because I get this back neck shoulder pain problem and I've got the fear about doing my HIIT workouts and so really noticed my sort of muscle

09:42 Muscles just fading away like Marty 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 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 as he hits 40. 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've done okay is the weekend got some beers got some plans for the weekend actually I posted today right on in the Team Superdad group if you're not in the team super dad group then come on over facebook.com groups of Team Superdad and just search for Team Super Dad Is that what I have to do? Team Super Dad page and there's a group in there as well basically

CHAPTER 06 / 18 Discussion

Weekend Planning for Dads and Sunday Roast Preparation

A discussion on the importance of fathers taking the lead in weekend planning references a Facebook post by dad coach Fidel. Plans for the upcoming weekend include a football play date, feeding ducks, a dance workshop, and a Sunday roast pork dinner, despite a broken oven.

fidel· facebook· play date· roast pork· crackling· covid compliance

10:34 But yeah, just saying if you're running into the weekend it's a classic thing for dads to do where they were busy busy busy in life and you don't plan anything. So then guess what? Your weekend just drifts by and you don't really get anything done but You know, going back to a point we were making and we're gonna 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 the ask men what they want from from women. So have a plan dads actually take a little bit of a lead in planning your weekend because not only will you have more fun but you won't seem like such as sap either so tomorrow I've got a play date going on with some football and feed the ducks obviously separate activities

11:15 Rosie's got a dance workshop. We've got some stuff we're doing with a friend to make a movie, all COVID compliant I'll have you know and yeah even down to what i'm cooking! I've been out and got the stuff roast pork for Sunday and oh family... With crackling? That's a long story the bloody oven is still not fixed although they are now coming on Tuesday so how are you going to do roast pork if you ain't I have got another and i'm just not sure it's going to do crackling. It will be crackly, but I don't think it will be actual crackling you know like when you crunch it in pieces. Chewy sort of version where you wish had gone a bit harder yeah that's what she said so into number one right this came up in that post from Fidel did you know

CHAPTER 07 / 18 Discussion

Survey Results on Men Sitting Down to Urinate

A survey claiming that 42% of men sit down to urinate at home sparks a debate about hygiene and convenience. While one host argues it is an "aiming thing" that is neater and potentially healthier, the other expresses disbelief and cites the poor condition of public house toilets as a reason to stand.

urination· survey· hygiene· pub toilets· health benefits· google

12:08 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 wee. But can you just... a large portion of men... for me, 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.. You're saying most of the men who responded to that said yes I'm going to ask Google, right? Sit down to...I guess it's gonna be urinate isn't it or is it gonna be wee. But yeah so this is something that I do actually do- Hey! Of course Google has got an answer. There are a number of reasons why men might opt to sit down and research suggests that guys do more than expected. Come on guess

12:58 We're like asking the guy, the guy that I'm a celebrity. Okay? What percentage of men sit down with 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 wee. Presumably due to spousal pressure... no, no, what not so I do at night. Why?

13:39 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 times. The toilet is in front of you. You stand there. It's more effort for you to stop, pull your pants down turn around sit down, do the thing stand up pull your pants up just have a wee! Stand there get out and have a wee I agree right? In a pub or somewhere where there's urinal or something like that. I don't want to sit on any pub toilet ever! My ex used to work in a pub and the amount of times that she'd come home, basically she had to scrape shit off the ceiling let alone from the walls and stuff. Pub toilets get pebbled ashed constantly you don't wanna be sitting on those

14:32 I know, I can tell you a dear friend of mine when we were about 16. We were at dinner and dance and he came back on not going to mention his name but his name is Matt. He came from the table and goes You gotta come see this because happened. I did not expect to see what I saw because I'd never seen anything like that before in my life as he raced in backwards to go it 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 just back in the day you were saying that the before times when we went down the pub you go there for a full day and if you hadn't offloaded before you got there at some point yeah there's a chance you're gonna need to um and so uh i had a friend uh who will remain nameless he was called Dan who

15:22 He, from I don't know if he's still like this but he won't shit while he's got clothes on. So every time you need to take a shit and take his fucking naked having a shit in the pub toilet! Why? How why?! No any of my friends who are listening and it's actually one of my brothers really good mate so i'm not actually going to mention his name but he is exactly like that Fully gets naked and he doesn't like doing it in public, obviously. So but wherever he gets fully undressed to have a go. I'll see if you come on. He's one of the funniest guys, 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 and normal toilet not urinal to just stand there and have a wee. I don't...I don't see the benefit of sitting down and putting your ass on the toilet. There's no benefit unless you haven't got a penis! In which case fair play it's probably easier to sit down

16:20 I just think it's an aiming thing. It just goes because it's nice and neat, firing get to rest your legs according to this article actually is actually healthier for you as well. Of course it is probably trying to sell some sort of step for you to put your feet on so your arse is angled differently Uh, look it says here first line of this blog. Standing up to pee is one of the greatest gifts granted to men. What's that movie where one of the women just walks up to your island and stands up and has a slash? It's gotta be... I don't know but there are plenty of those videos on Pornhub! I'm not actually searched up that category to be fair actually. Allegedly. Allegedly leads nicely onto actually hot in the 90s

CHAPTER 08 / 18 Discussion

Rachel Stevens and 90s Celebrity Crushes

The hosts discuss Rachel Stevens of S Club 7, noting her appearance at age 40 and her past performance on Strictly Come Dancing. This leads to a broader conversation about dating preferences, height requirements, and the cultural references desired in a partner.

rachel stevens· s club 7· strictly come dancing· dating preferences· 90s celebrities

17:02 What, women standing up to Pete? No no, you get some lookalikes don't you. You get those look alike videos! Oh the Paris Hilton sort of look alikes. Came up on the bottom of a football blog post this week. They're like from Tabala and 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 who... I say i don't know her sadly because i've not yet met and wooed her but because i would love to work with. She is stunningly beautiful yes stunningly beautiful um and was back when she did uh oh what's it called a Strictly Come Dancing great dancer as well even if she has got wood feet yeah she's very short as well apparently i think i've got a height limit on future

17:54 Have you got a bracket that they're the only women that you'll choose to woo? Yeah, below 5 foot 4 is out. Really?! No see 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 go out there's less of a differential and then when you're not going out Oh yeah, it's good. 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 way. Happily! You could have all the Amazonians No i did have an awesome girlfriend when I was at uni we were dated for about three years and actually one of the best women I've ever known um...and uh but she was a bit short so just on reflection in terms of oh with in terms

18:46 Women, perfect women. You know categories things I want and don't want in a future relationship yeah. I'm taller than five foot four just putting it out there sorry sorry and that and i wouldn't say no right now actually given the five-year window that it's been whereas for me is all about the personality honest so Rachel Stevens huh yes lovely girl 100 percent If anyone's got a number, then I'm more than happy to have. She's happily married and still hot so it turns out... So given that she was in S Club 7, I thought she was way younger but no, she just 40 last year. Rachel Stevens? I would definitely be intimidated to talk to her.

CHAPTER 09 / 18 Discussion

Lads Mags Culture and Age-Appropriate Dating

A retrospective on 90s "lads mags" like FHM and Loaded leads to a discussion about current dating age brackets. The hosts reflect on the importance of shared cultural references, such as knowing Skeletor from He-Man rather than modern advertisements.

fhm· loaded magazine· kelly brook· he-man· skeletor· dating brackets

19:38 What were the lads mags called? FHM, Loaded. That sort of thing. Top totty for... Don't you miss the 90's I mean I'm all for equality I think it probably is wrong that there's a naked boobs outburn on the top three. If there's an equal amount of stuff going on, men are kind of laying about in bikinis... That's fine isn't it? Talking about women for the night, a friend actually did try and set me up with Kelly Brook Not realizing that actually Kelly again is in a happily married relationship, or I'm 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

20:34 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 they know this Well, that's because... but the thing is you're talking about age differences and so on. I don't know if you were, but kind of your brackets are higher. I've got the same thing for age. I'm attracted to women roughly speaking there are exceptions either way, but roughly speaking that could have gone to school with. So sort of six or 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 well Skeletor was a bad guy from He-Man not from The Money Supermarket advert

21:11 I want cultural references. And so when, when I was in my twenties then FHM was full of people and women in their late teens to late twenties. And so that's what our bracket where as now I'm not looking at someone who is 20 years old 21 years old for me that's weird because they could have gone to school with my daughter. out of bounds for me. So yeah, I couldn't tell you who the younger women are and unfortunately very rarely does a beautiful old woman appear from nowhere on the scene. Yeah true okay good that's why i don't know okay good right so now not only have i swerved being a pedo but um but i can also let my conscience be at peace

CHAPTER 10 / 18 Discussion

Jet from Gladiators and Iconic 90s Actresses

The hosts share their 90s celebrity crushes, specifically highlighting Diane Youdale, known as Jet from the TV show Gladiators. Other mentions include Carmen Electra, Pamela Anderson, Claudia Schiffer, and Cameron Diaz's debut in The Mask.

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 she she's been on TV a lot recently. I'm going to shut the door. What Diane you down Yeah, Diane Udell. She's one of those frustrating women who not only is stunningly beautiful talented athlete but also has the brains attached as well so again she can just pick and choose whoever she wants and I'm sure she has um...I need to find these women desperately! Yeah well you know you gotta go to like it's like if you want a date a runner

23:49 That was, that requires me to run. We were listening to the podcast that wasn't Glenn's like creaky bones or squeaky arms. What is that? A bottle of whiskey? 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! Oh yeah they're, I use them for insulation So yeah, Jet was up there. Obviously what's her name from Baywatch? Everybody had it on their mind. Yeah. I always was more Carmen than Pam but don't get me wrong now. 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 Schieffer? Always thought she was absolutely gorgeous. And what's the name Cameron Diaz

24:47 Yes. Yeah, I didn't realize that. She has a lot of fun as well when she made her debut in the mask she was really young. She's about 20 21 years old. Isla Fisher actually married to Sacha Baron Cohen now? Yes yeah absolutely. Oh well i mean i could sit here like sharing the names of beautiful women who are far more successful than i will ever be but it's not gonna 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 hottie from the nineties and find out what she's up to now because by the way not everybody ages that well and no disrespect to women or men cause we've all got age right? So this is a bit shallow that we do this but there are some people who are not looking quite so good. Top Gun Lady

CHAPTER 11 / 18 Discussion

Paul Rudd and the Mystery of Ageless Celebrities

The conversation focuses on the "Paul Rudd effect," noting how the Ant-Man actor appears not to have aged. Comparisons are made to Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis, with a specific recommendation for listeners to search for images of Tom Cruise's "center tooth."

paul rudd· tom cruise· kelly mcgillis· top gun· dorian gray· ant-man

25:40 Top Gun lady. Kelly. Yeah, Kelly someone. Kelly McGinnis. Yes, Kelly McGinnis! If you compare her to Tom Cranks... Tom Cranks? How many Carlins have you had?! No, Tom Hanks. Err no not Tom Hanks. Tom Cruise! 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 I recommend everybody who has listened to this to do this Google Tom Cruise tooth so Tom Cruise centre tooth And once you've seen it You'll never unsee it essentially Tom Cruises teeth

26:25 I I think basically, I'm his Dorian Gray. So he refused... 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 iIm 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

27:14 What are you saying then? You're saying you're getting wrinkly and old, and he's not. I'm old yeah massively! Look at this face! He's glen 30! 40 years old now look i'm about a hundred whereas Paul Rudd looks younger than my children so what is Paul Rudd like a movie star? What do you mean who is Paul Rudd? He's one of the most legendary actors out there. He was Ant-Man, he's an incredible actor but also just a ridiculously nice guy! He's the perfect example of an eight 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 elevate someone so that you know what they don't look bad but they're so funny and nice and just wonderful perfect human being that totally attractive he doesn't sit down

CHAPTER 12 / 18 Discussion

Domestic Violence Awareness and the Ask for Annie Scheme

The hosts address the rise in domestic violence during lockdown, citing information from a contact in the police force. They highlight the "Ask for Annie" scheme in pharmacies and the "Ask for Angela" initiative in pubs as discreet ways for victims to seek help and support.

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 we're gonna just dip into this slightly heavier subject 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 which 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 things had gone smoothly but

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 and this goes for any women listening who might be experiencing it and also men might be experiencing as well And that's not to say one is better or worse than the other bit just to say It happens into both sexes You mentioned something that people can say in a chemist. There's two things 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 Annie or can I ask you to say can I see Annie please?

29:40 Essentially it's a trigger, it's an alert that the pharmacists are aware of and familiar with. So if anyone asks Rani 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 has been a similar thing In pubs and bars and clubs, where essentially you ask for Angela. And this has become more common in pubs where if you say I need to get a drink for Angela or can i speak to one of your bar mates called Angela? Again the thing is that if you're worried about... You are on a date for example when the date is acting up or you're worried that they might have drugged you or you just feeling unsafe all for whatever reason. Pubs are able to do that so

30:31 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 But 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 excuse. And there's always... You can find an excuse to go to a pharmacy for headache pills or contraception or whatever. 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 it. A horrific situation and I can understand why these situations are arising, let's be honest is lockdown we normally have a situation where people can leave the house they can go to work they can get their frustrations now in a million different ways and now we're all being

31:22 Clammed up and crammed into the same four walls twenty four 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 time when the access to support is decreasing so I can understand even though in not free of fraction of a millisecond does it excuse Domestic violence. You can understand why it's rising 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 if it doesn't have to end up at domestic violence levels, you know? If you're stressed out frustrated with each other then flipping it put your coat on and grab your hat and just go for a walk for half an hour and literally

CHAPTER 13 / 18 Discussion

Mental Health Support and Digital Privacy for Victims

Advice is provided for those seeking help for domestic issues, including the use of incognito mode on web browsers to hide search histories. The hosts emphasize that their direct messages are open and encourage listeners to utilize resources on the Met Police website and various dad support groups.

32:11 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? I know Hopefully you say something like, I love you. We're not going to do this let's chat in the morning and if you can hug it out then brilliant if you sleep on the couch that's fine um and also I did a quick google search earlier for this and there are so many different help lines on The Met Police website on their page there are lines for men, women, LGBT basically... One thing to say is that if you are searching for these things and your in any way concerned using Cognito Mode

32:48 I'm worried that might be so the department see them searching for help and so on every every chrome has a pretty sure that all of the kind of mobile ones do we some sort incognito mode effectively it doesn't record your searches so nobody will know that you've done it. Close down the tab afterwards, but nobody will know you've been searching for that sort of information so you don't have to worry about that and you can get access and its free and there are people out there who are willing to help I know Jonnie your DMs are open just like mine are. Im not an expert and I can only point people in the right direction

33:24 But there are people out there who can help you. Yeah, totally and that's a really valid point as well Team Superdad group the other dads groups on parts of single parent groups there is... And people ask these questions all the time so I think to finish on this subject is just don't suffer alone just life too short just reach out and get the help we need. Not just and it sounds ridiculous but not just if your victim if your someone who 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 so good well I like to do that and it's not always at a subject is obviously on my mind but that one came up mainly because my sister mentioned it basically

CHAPTER 14 / 18 Discussion

Ghostbusters Afterlife and the Erasure of the 2016 Reboot

The hosts discuss the upcoming Ghostbusters sequel starring Paul Rudd, noting it follows the original franchise timeline rather than the 2016 reboot. They express strong negative opinions about the 2016 film and briefly mention the digital removal of Donald Trump from Home Alone 2.

ghostbusters· paul rudd· harold ramis· jason reitman· home alone· donald trump

34:13 So anyway, back to the fun stuff. This is a real 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 and I don't know if you realise this but you mentioned something earlier about Ghostbusters, the new trailer guess who's the star of that? Shut Up! It's Paul Rudd That's how slick we are. We're so slick, we don't even realise it! So I said to Glenn earlier... because it turns out right Glenn and I not only do we live quite close to each other but we both support the same football team with those like literally gonna find out our mums were cousins or something like that sometimes

35:01 But yeah, interesting sort of movie interest. So I said to him have you seen the Ghostbusters sequel? But don't worry it's not part of the reboot franchise is part of the original franchise. Which was shit! No i'm sorry...I am happy to say this and it's got fuck all to do with the fact that he had women in it It was shit! It was absolutely...it was offensively bad The Ghostbusters, the original Ghostbusters movie is one of the greatest one of the pinnacles of 80 cinema Yeah, the sequel was a bit shit but it wasn't terrible. Whereas that piece of garbage went over all 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 gonna get burned. What do they call it? They call it culture cleansing or something like... I'm okay with that. Change culture. They're gonna erase the two seconds that Donald Trump was in Home Alone. Yeah yeah I'm okay with that as well

35:58 They're gonna get like Mr. Blobby or someone's going to be super-imposed on that situation! It runs a crowdfunding competition, you know? We can win a place and every penny of every entry gets donated to Planned Parenthood Perfect, perfect. So Ghostbusters is not a 90s movies fan or whatever but Ghostbusters the new one coming out Harold Ramis who was actually one of the ghost buster in the original and directed it his son is that he's the writer and director of this sequel and it looks absolutely epic

CHAPTER 15 / 18 Discussion

Movie Sequels and the Failure of Weekend at Bernie's

A debate on the quality of movie sequels covers rare successes like Terminator 2 and Aliens versus the general trend of "garbage" follow-ups. The hosts express skepticism about Top Gun: Maverick and reflect on how Weekend at Bernie's has not aged well.

sequels· terminator· aliens· top gun 2· weekend at bernie's· cinematic history

36:36 But when, do you remember when sequels are garbage? Most of them are. I mean the fact that we can say there's Terminator, Aliens... maybe Empire from Star Wars but other than those there are hardly any ones where the sequel is at least as good if not better Breakdance 2, Electric Boogaloo No, no, no. Because that implies... Okay the first one was good and then the second one's better let's put that sort of differentiator in there. Oh baby! But yeah yes sequels are shit generally speaking because they used to be

37:20 But these days everyone wants a franchise, everyone wants a Marvel MCU or Star Wars where you can just build it out into a mega mega franchise and so they're actually investing money in decent sequels. Totally! So Top Gun 2 going to be good or gonna be bad? Top gun two is gonna 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 out there where you're looking at you thinking... You don't need to do any more! 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! Porky's? Hey! Didn't Porky and Sam do a load more?! I think they did loads more yeah

38:07 Weekend at Bernie's did not have a number two, that is good. Also Weekend at Bernie's did not age well I watched it thinking it was going to be hilarious and there wasn't but... There were moments It is horrible when you go back to the movie that you've seen in a long time and this is gonna be great, brilliant then its just let down like going back to an ex and its just nooo the magic has gone The Walker Shame. So just like, by the way I'm working on this kind of wrap up basically to end this is what happened during this week is I'm working on a new Team Superdad, theme tune. Sing the theme tune play the theme tune. But yeah a friend of mine Nigel Mannington epic sound engineering guy 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

CHAPTER 16 / 18 Discussion

Team Superdad Podcast New Theme Tune Development

Jonnie Jensen discusses working with sound engineer Nigel Mannington to create a new, mashup-style intro for the Team Superdad podcast. The project aims to incorporate movie clips and soundbites, drawing inspiration from the Cold Cut remix of "Paid in Full."

39:01 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 a team super dad real dad living their best life ever you are not alone so bits of that will stay but I'm going to ditch the American voice basically um but I feel like I want to do like a bit of a mash-up... 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 gonna get in trouble from the so-and-so gods if we play a song? We might do. I think less than 30 seconds is fine especially if this is a non-profit organisation at the moment Okay, not profit organisation It's by virtue of total income Oh there's Ted McGrath He's gonna go...I've got a screen share to bring it in I think Here goes Skip Ads

39:57 So the set, the bit that I want to do basically is like a mashup at the beginning. So I want the theme tune to be a bit of a mash up 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 Can you hear that? I can, I can hear it in the background through your microphone. But i do, I do and I can hear enough that I remember what it is and yes that is a great intro. So basically its grabbing sounds from different movies and different clips and things like that.

40:49 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. Bastards! But yeah so basically I'm looking to include moments And I don't know, like how many are we going to get here? It all depends on how many people listen to the Team Superdad podcast for 41 minutes. Millions and millions of people. We're gonna 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 it was different strokes. What do you talk about Wilson? Or what do you talk about Willis? Wilson! Who the fuck is Wilson?!

41:40 And it's the menace. I don't know. I read the comic, didn't see 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 grab from a movie or tv show then let us know we'll see what we can do to drop that into the new intro thats coming down the line Just to check does the as were talking about in order to be a dad Be allowing the words motherfucker. Because I mean, logically...

42:21 I can give the E to explicit, to certain episodes where there's been a lot of swearing. But if i put it in the intro music it could be tricky! What did they used to do on Hollyoaks? Like after dark or late night holly oaks or something? Yeah, yes raunchy yeah so basically you have two versions of it So watch this space, we've got 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... what was the name of the white DJ who used to do the Pimp My Ride UK?

CHAPTER 17 / 18 Discussion

Tim Westwood and the Pimp My Ride UK Legacy

The hosts react with shock to the discovery that Tim Westwood, the former host of Pimp My Ride UK, was born in 1957. They discuss his long career at Radio 1 and his surprisingly advanced age relative to his public persona.

43:09 Yes, his name is totally there. But my early stage dementia... I'm gonna have to look it up now. Pimp My Ride UK was done with a hosted by Tim Westwood! Yeah you went entirely for 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. Well, he was born in 1957! He's older than my parents! He's 63 years old and he was on Radio One and Two only about five six years ago oh my goodness

43:52 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 up! He was 40 so.... That's incredible. That's blown my mind, that is! Ah what a way to end... good. We can end it's 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
