Welcome to Episode 12 of Mum Dad's Got Another Tattoo! This week, we're diving into listener feedback, debating cultural icons, and taking a hilarious trip down memory lane. Join Marc and Richard as they tackle midlife, modern annoyances, and a very revealing narcissism test.
- Listener Mail & Chelmsford Nights: We kick off the episode by reading out a fantastic email from a real-life listener (who we don't even know!). It sparks a nostalgic trip back to the legendary nightclubs of Chelmsford and East London, and we get a chance to clarify our stance on controversial podcast guests.
- Molly-Mae: Cultural Icon or Who? Marc makes a bold case for why Molly-Mae is one of the most important cultural figures in Britain today, drawing comparisons to Page 3 girls and challenging traditional notions of influence. Richard has some very strong initial opinions!
- The Ghost of Sid James & Barbecuing: Richard shares a truly classic "Carry On" moment from his home life, and then delves into why his passion for barbecuing and smoking meat is his ultimate chill-out time.
- Knife Wankery & Pre-Wash Semantics: Marc rants about the pretentious world of Japanese knives and the illogical concept of "pre-wash," sparking a classic debate with Richard.
- Electric Car Observations: Richard shares his surprisingly positive experiences with his new electric car, including charging times, range, and the financial benefits.
- The Narcissism Test: Marc (nervously) takes an online narcissism test, exploring whether his self-diagnosed "cured imposter syndrome" actually makes him a narcissist. The results are... average.
- Deep Tissue Massage & Aching Bodies: We talk about the joys (and sometimes pain) of deep tissue massage, and Marc shares a particularly mortifying story about his knee, a hospital ramp, and running like Rishi Sunak.
- Possibly Toxic Male Confessions: Marc shares a hilarious and brutally honest confession about his internal thoughts when meeting the new, very pretty PA at work.
- The Nando's Debate: Marc makes a controversial (and possibly narcissistic) stand against Nando's, linking it to anti-intellectualism, while Richard defends it as a practical midlife pleasure.
