💡 CALM’s Stay Tuned Campaign

We’re proud to be part of the Campaign Against Living Miserably’s September Stay Tuned campaign. It costs just £12.20 to fund a potentially life-saving call to their suicide prevention helpline. The link to donate is here Donation Link — thank you to everyone who’s supported so far.

Remember that scene in Goodfellas when Joe Pesci thinks he’s about to be “made,” only to walk into an empty room and… bang? That’s how Marc felt when job loss hit out of the blue this week.

In this shorter, rawer episode, he and Richard talk through the shock of being blindsided, the shame of telling family, and the temptation to bottle it up rather than admit you’re struggling. But there’s also the humour that keeps this podcast alive — from tattoos as therapy to OnlyFans toenails — because midlife is never just one thing.

Also in this episode:

• Redundancy, shame, and why men hide bad news
• The relief of finally telling someone
• Why exercise and friendship matter more than ever
• Tattoos as a substitute for therapy
• Anna Wolfe’s How to Get Wet When You’re Dry Episode Link

It’s honest, awkward, a bit ridiculous — exactly what you’d expect from Mum, Dad’s Got Another Tattoo.

Do your bit to save lives with CALM - The UK suicide prevention charity. Donate 12 GBP to help fund their helpline this September. Give now: https://tiltify.com/@podomedy/fundraiser-for-stay-tuned-2025
