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 finally here, actually, just showing up, you know, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and sounded fresh as a daisy.

I'm Tom Curry.

I'm joined as always by my co-hosts, Eli Bosnick and Thomas Smith.

Hello, gentlemen.

It's good that you can have a sense of humor about your habitual lateness, Tom.

It is good.

It is.

Everybody, Tom showed up late again. What are we going to do? It's my thing. It's my. It is. Everybody, Tom showed up late again.

What are we going to do?

It's my thing.

It's my thing. Everybody, I like to. He doesn't show up for the patron story. He's late for the records. I think we should withhold his pay. What do you think, Thomas? Do you think we should hold back his pay for a little bit? I think what happens is, there's things I say about Tom. I was on time for so long that my karma was like, no, this is... Impost. Yeah, we can't keep up this trend. I was on time for so long. Everybody, this was a joke. It was me. I was way late. I was on time for so long that I think my whole being was like, you've gone too far. This is wrong. And so now I had to be so late that it's like I'm almost out of the company. But fortunately, these two gentlemen are kind enough to allow me to remain in on a probationary basis, I think. Oh, God. Oh, God. There's so many jokes. Lydia. Lydia, I'm going to be talking in the right headphone and you just edit everything I say. I need you legally to edit everything I say out of the podcast for the next 20 minutes. Tom, Thomas, you guys do a podcast. Yeah, you've got the market cornered though, Thomas, because I don't want to edit. So, like, I can't, you're like one of those employees that can't be fired she's like I don't want to take on that workload though you know just like you're like your job at your old job you whatever whatever niche

you failed people are like fuck no it's fine you can burn him with some tea or something I don't

just throw a big cup of scalping tea in his face at my old old job that I was at, my email address at that job is still active and monitored and they respond as my email.

It's been 10 years since I left that job. 10 years. And if you email my old email, you get an immediate response. It's not an auto response. Like, there's a guy

still who gets that forwarded. And he replies as me because they're just like, you know, just let that one, we're not going to make it. It's like the Pope where they have to find a new Tom. They're like, who's going to be the new Tom? Right. They're the gray smoke it until the new Tom is decided and then it's white smoke or whatever the fuck it is.

Well, I mean, my name's Steve.

No, you're Tom. They gray smoke it until the new Tom has decided and then it's white smoke or whatever the fuck it is.

My name's Steve.
