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).
