Mum! Dad’s Got Another Tattoo - The Mid life Crisis Podcast

E9: Heartburn Pills v Redpills: Enter the Manosphere

What happens when a couple of middle-aged dads wander into the outer rings of the Manosphere? In this episode, we meet Paul Bauer, author, life coach, and host of the Come On Man podcast, to discuss red pill culture, relationship dynamics, and the rise of online masculinity movements.
Marc and Richard wrestle with ideas of dominance, dead bedrooms, and the whole “captain of the relationship ship” metaphor. Does any of this actually help men in midlife, or is it just reheated alpha-male nonsense with better branding?
Expect:
A 10-minute Batman-origin monologue
Differing views on hierarchy and partnership
One very expensive kitchen refurbishment
A call for more penguin-based masculinity
Let us know where you stand – are you the captain, the XO, or a VIP passenger just here for the snacks?Email: mumdadsgotanothertattoo@gmail.comInsta/TikTok: @mumdadsgotanothertattoo

E8: Testosterone & Shed-Building Superpowers: A TRT Deep Dive with Dr. Louis Choo

This week, we’re jabbing straight into testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with Dr. Louis Choo, senior specialist at Manual and NHS GP. Marc is six months into his own TRT journey, and Richard wants to know if it’s all needles, rage, and shrinking testicles — or something a bit more useful.
🔬 Inside this episodeWe unpack:
✅ What low testosterone really feels like — and when to take it seriously
🩸 Why blood testing is step one (no bro science here)
💉 How injections work, what HCG does, and why gels are messy and annoying
🧠 The truth about mood, muscle, libido... and regret
🧬 The long-term commitment, social stigma, and myths around “getting on test”
This isn’t a red-pill rant or gym-bro gospel. It’s a smart, funny, evidence-based conversation about hormones, health, and how not to grow a pair of boobs by accident.
💥 Highlights include:
The moment Marc built a shed at 6am after one jab
Why coming off TRT might be rougher than people admit
What Richard’s still skeptical about — and why that matters
🎧 Listen if:You’re male, over 40, and wondering if your best days are behind you — or if you’ve just never had a blood test.

E7: Contactless Balls

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.

E6: The £200 Digital C*ck Ring

In this episode of Mum, Dad’s Got Another Tattoo, Marc and Richard ride the emotional rollercoaster of midlife with their usual mix of honesty, humour, and Marc laughing for about 8 minutes straight.
From forgetting where you’ve put your headphones (while they’re in your hand), to awkward conversations about testosterone injections, and being the only dad at netball training not pretending to work while scrolling TikTok—this one’s got it all.
We also:
Unbox a £200 digital cock ring. Yes, really.
Reconsider everything after a live country music gig got us in the feels
Compare car shopping to hostage negotiation
Talk about tattoos (again), including why we regret parts of them but keep going anyway
Try to find music made after 2002 that doesn’t make us feel ancient
Ponder why no one waits at pedestrian crossings after an anti-capitalist gig
It’s midlife. It’s ridiculous. And we’re trying to find meaning (or at least make content out of it).

E5: How Long Ago Was 20 Years Ago?

In this episode of Mam! Dad’s Got Another Tattoo, we take a look at how midlife messes with our perception of time. From mistaking 1989 for “about 20 years ago” to failing a nostalgia quiz worse than a GCSE German, we explore why the years are suddenly flying by. And what that does to your head.
We dig into status symbols, midlife levelling up, and the fine line between self-improvement and full-blown crisis. Should you buy a Ferrari, a Rolex, or a road bike? Or maybe just stop posting your dinner?
With reflections on fatherhood, biohacking, body image, and why you probably don’t need another espresso machine.

E4: The Older A Man Gets, The Better He Used To Be

This week, Marc and Richard reflect on midlife milestones: unexpected eyebrow trims, ancient Olympic rivals, and the bittersweet reality that our past glories get better every time we tell them.
There’s a £996 car repair that wasn’t quite expensive enough, the death of shared cultural knowledge (“What do you mean you’ve never heard of Back to the Future?!”), and an emotional tribute to mixtapes and vinyl that somehow ends in an idea for a million-pound invention (spoiler: it already exists).
We debate if having trials in the 90s outranks Olympic Medals rage against fast-paced film editing, and confirm once and for all that Ghostbusters is a perfect movie, even if nothing happens for 20 minutes.
No tattoos this time, but we promise to get to them eventually. Probably.
