Taking A Tactical Chunder - The Wrap Up #29
Boris Johnson announced the roadmap for reopening British schools this week, prompting a media debut for the children of the Team Super Dad collective on the BBC. As the United Kingdom prepares for the June 21st lifting of lockdown restrictions, the podcast welcomes Glenn from Dating Dad alongside newcomers Colin Hudson and Rich to analyze the cultural shift toward a post-pandemic summer. The group evaluates the potential for a second Roaring Twenties fueled by the return of live events like the Reading Festival and the Euro football tournament. Mark Ormrod, the triple-amputee Afghanistan veteran and Invictus Games medalist, serves as a focal point for resilience after a viral video showed him refusing assistance during a fall. Support for the RE-ORG charity remains a priority as the hosts pivot to lighter fare, including the logistics of the Tottenham Hotspur stadium bottom-up beer technology and the rules of a London Monopoly pub crawl. The conversation moves through 1990s nostalgia, citing the stage presence of Skin from Skunk Anansie and the impact of Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill. Additional mentions include Wendy James of Transvision Vamp, Gail Porter, and the awkward reality TV history of filming The Villa for Sky TV in Spain. Personal mishaps provide the comedic backbone of the session, from a cyclist wiping out in a Costco car park to a blindfolded garden game that left one father in a fetal position. Between stories of Jensen Button and Formula 1 road trips to the Barcelona Grand Prix, the group captures the chaotic energy of modern fatherhood. The session concludes with a debate on the North-South divide and the tactical utility of pancakes used as indoor frisbees.
