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 Twinkie Bus of Podcasts. I'm Tom Curry, and I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. What is the Twinkie bus, Tom? Are you making a short bus joke? You guys didn't have the Twinkie bus when you were? I took the Twinkie bus when I was a kid. Short bus. Short bus, short bus. Yeah. We called it the Twinkie bus. So does Twinkie, okay, we got to think about this. Eli, business meeting, does that make it more or less cancelable?

The only other thing that, I mean, short bus definitely cancelable, right?

We can all agree that if he had introduced us as the short bus of podcast, we just stopped

the record, we start again, Nobody ever needs to hear this.

But I think we keep it because I want to know how Twinkie Bus made it better. It was the Twinkie Bus. I don't know. I remember because I was a Twinkie Bus kid. So like when I was in, you did not get TwinkieG? I think it was because it was a smaller bus. Call it that because of the look of it. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was just because it was a smaller bus.

When I was in,

when I lived in Florida, It was a smaller... Calling it that because of the look of it. Yeah. Yeah. I think it was just because it was a smaller bus.

When I was in, when I lived in Florida with my mom, I had a lot of like proprioception

and coordination problems.

And it was like the early 80s and I lived in Florida and everything was garbage.

And so they thought I had like severe cognitive delays. And so like I went to

school with my stepbrother who did have severe cognitive delays because he was actually like my

half stepbrother Michael was actually an adopted baby and he was a heroin baby and he had a lot of like

problems. Eli, have we heard about this before? Is this something? I've literally never heard of this man before in mind. This is Tom's mom is still alive all over. How many steps slash half siblings does, and let's just do it. How many steps slash half siblings does everyone? Yeah, let's all put it on the table. How about let's just say? Okay. I have one half brother. I might have mentioned before. That's it. That's all I got. Okay. I have four. Four step slash, well, yeah, so here's the deal. So when I lived with... It's not about whatever the show was going to be about earlier, everybody. Auto ads are bad, aren't they? Well, suck it. Be a patron. Dear old dads. When a snapping turtle bites a kid, it becomes two kids. Oh, they bite him clean in half and then you've amoebaed. You have to raise both halves as a separate kid. Four. Wow. Tom, I want to let you talk, but Thomas, what were you going? I was going with just the one. Yeah. Definitely not Quatro. Quatro was not within my purview. I do remember him saying something weird about one time where I was like, wait, is that something? And yeah, four wouldn't have been, that would have been literally my fourth guess, I guess, would have been four yeah well it's it's because i i haven't seen him in so long yeah

they they haven't like so i have a biological brother my full brother biological brother is my

new what no i'm sorry that i remember and then my stepdad had three of his own kids, none of them with my mom.

I don't know if they were with the same person.

And then an adopted kid, also they did not adopt with my mom.
