| 0:00.0 | Hey, listeners, Thomas here. Before we get to today's episode, I just wanted to apologize. |
| 0:04.7 | Some folks wrote in about the recent episode on chivalry where I told the story about the guy |
| 0:09.5 | in the airplane, and they said, that was fat shaming, that was hurtful to them. And, you know, |
| 0:14.4 | they're totally right. I went back and listened, and that, that, I just was so clumsy with my |
| 0:19.0 | wording. I actually wanted to not fat shame, and I just botched it. |
| 0:23.3 | I don't know if I was tired or COVID or what or just being plain careless, but totally |
| 0:28.7 | botched it. |
| 0:29.8 | Instead of being funny in the sort of the unfortunate geometry of the situation was really |
| 0:35.2 | what I wanted to emphasize. |
| 0:37.2 | It wasn't that at all. It was |
| 0:38.2 | totally fat shaming in a way that was not at all where I want to be as a show and how I want |
| 0:44.4 | to make listeners feel. So I won't apologize for that. And absolutely we'll strive to do better |
| 0:49.5 | in the future. So I'm really sorry. And thank you for the feedback. And on with today's show. I'm the sorry and thank you for the feedback and on with today's show. |

| 1:04.0 | I know now what I can offer you that no one else can. Complete and undependence. |
| 1:15.4 | I'm a man. I'm sensitive. I need to feel loved. I need to be desired. |
| 1:20.3 | Yelling is the only part of being a father that I enjoy. |
| 1:46.3 | Welcome to Dear Old Dads, the podcast that cranks the tunes and sings along even more when the kids have their friends in the car. I'm Tom Curry and I'm joined, as always, by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Welcome, gentlemen. Woo! I wanted to, like, launch into talking about COVID. And you deliver that whopper of an intro, Tom. We could talk dad music forever. I think I'll have to, I think we'll have to hold off. We're going to have to have a dad music episode. We're going to have to have a dad music episode. |
| 1:50.0 | Play all your greatest dad hits. You guys, your kids are younger, but I wrote this because, you know, |
| 1:54.9 | I got teenagers and my stepson has a girlfriend. And so it's wonderful to embarrass him a little bit. |
| 2:01.8 | Like it's the delight of my life to just embarrass him a little bit. |
| 2:07.0 | And so I'd have to drive. |
