Molly Mae, Narcissism and The Ghost of Sid James

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.
