Episode Summary:

This week, Mum! Dad’s Got Another Tattoo dives deep into modern masculinity with Jason Lange — men’s group facilitator, filmmaker, and certified No More Mr Nice Guy coach. Jason talks about why so many men feel disconnected, what “men’s work” really means, and how to break out of patterns that quietly undermine relationships.

We explore his idea of silent contracts — the unspoken expectations we carry into relationships — and how they can quietly corrode trust and intimacy. In our reflection segment, Marc and Richard unpack their own experiences with unspoken deals, social validation, and why midlife might just be the perfect time to rewrite your personal rulebook.

Expect insight, honesty, and the usual helping of sideways humour.

In This Episode:

• What “men’s work” actually looks like in 2025
• How silent contracts form — and why they’re relationship landmines
• The cost of outsourcing your self-worth
• Richard’s take from his background in SEN education and parenting
• Marc’s midlife lens on ambition, validation, and potential
