| 0:00.0 | I'm the cool dad. That's, that's my thing. |
| 0:09.7 | I know now what I can offer you that no one else can. Complete and undependent. |
| 0:16.7 | I'm a man. I'm sensitive. I need to feel loved. I need to be desired. |
| 0:23.1 | Yelling is the only part of being a father that I enjoy. |
| 0:28.3 | Welcome to Dear Old Dads, the podcast that's not picking up the phone for anyone. |
| 0:33.0 | I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. |
| 0:38.0 | Hello. |
| 0:38.8 | Okay, I didn't realize we were having Heath as a guest on this episode, but based |
| 0:42.0 | on the intro, Heath, are you there? |
| 0:44.1 | Are you on the Zencaster call? |
| 0:45.6 | Tell me. |
| 0:46.2 | You have to tell me. |
| 0:47.0 | It's like being a cop. |

I like to think that Heath, I know that this is unrelated for people who don't listen to our other shows, but I like to think that there's enough people listening to this show that listen to the other ones. I like to think that he just has an incredible work-life balance. Yeah. Like 2 p.m. |
