In this episode of Mum, Dad’s Got Another Tattoo, Marc and Richard take a winding, chaotic stroll through the thorny joys of midlife. From aging parents falling (not just over, but having a fall), to Bluetooth-enabled cock rings, to the existential threat of contactless pool tables, it’s all here.
There’s some chat about testosterone therapy and whether it’s a magic potion or just another step on the road to being that guy. Marc unveils yet another tattoo, while Richard reacts with concern, confusion, and the occasional barbed wire flashback. We touch on childhood trauma (McDonald’s orders that age you), golf shoes with skulls on them, and the secret art of ignoring your dad’s WhatsApp messages without losing your inheritance.
It’s reflective, ridiculous, occasionally heartfelt — and probably the only podcast where "average nocturnal erections per night" and "the sociology of pool table etiquette" are discussed in the same breath.
