I'm the cool dad. That's, that's my thing.

I know now what I can offer you that no one else can.

Complete and undependent.

I'm a man. I'm sensitive. I need to feel loved. I need to be desired.

Yelling is the only part of being a father that I enjoy.

Welcome to dear old dads. The podcast that isn't paying to cool the whole damn neighborhood.

I'm joined by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. I'm Tom Curry. Hello, gentlemen. Hello.

Hey, podcast, Dad. Hey, so you guys, both of you guys, I think recently have had similar experiences, but Eli, you had a new experience with Max the other day that you wanted to talk about. Today, this very day, this Christian day was my son's first day of camp, which was also

like the first time we ever have left him anywhere.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean by camp?

Like survival camp?

Like what can't?

No, it's like a, it's a survival situation. We gave him a pretty sharpened stick, though, so I think he'll be okay. I'm just picturing like Max is completely naked in a diaper with like camo under his eyes, like a sharpened like Fisher Price spear in his hand. Yeah, baby hunger games. They just drop like fruit leather and mozzarella cheese instead of what it's adorable.

No, but so like this is the first, so this like summer camp, which is like pre- preschool,

but this is the first daycare situation he's ever been in.

We've obviously left him with the babysitter and with my mom and we go away on trips and

stuff, but this is the first time we've

ever taken him to a building and then left that building. That's so huge. Man, it was an experience.

Yeah. How did Max do with it? Okay. So Max was fine. As with everything, my son was completely unfazed.

We got in the whole time, me and my wife are like, we got to be chill.

Like every book, every Facebook, all the things we've read are like, you can't freak them out.
