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's got to get out more.

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

We tell a lot of harsh truths on this show, Tom, but it's never easy when it's pointed

it yourself. This one's right back at me too. One finger forward and three fingers. I've gone

several days where I'm like, I don't go outside because I'm too busy. This is not healthy. This sucks. Oh, yeah. That's work from

home culture. Like, oh, there's days and days and days where I'm just like, at least in this,

in my new place, my office isn't in the basement because in my old place, I would wake up and

like go to the basement and just sit in the basement. I'd be like, this is not the life I dreamed

for myself. This is not what I want. That's the not the life you dreamed of for yourself? You shocked yourself awake. I feel like a fucking crazy person. He's like I should be upstairs shocking my balls. I know we need to move on from Tom's busy, but that's the one that stays with me that I just never gonna let that go so I just

can't need to get electro-shocked awake I mean I think like this is this is normal yeah it

really feels medieval in a way well well that too I'm not even talking about that but the locking

ourselves it reminds me of like the finale of breaking bad or whatever when when the other guys

he's just like a prisoner making meth,

basically.

Does it feel like that?

I'm just locked away, cranking out podcast meth and other stuff that's not as fun as that.

I'm like, cool.

That's my life right now someday.
