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 hallucinating its way through life and loving it.

I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. Why, hello. I don't know. I got... All right. If this one's about how much mushrooms I eat, I am eating just the right amount of mushrooms to stay balanced, guys. I do not want the feedback on how many mushrooms I eat. So me and a friend, so for those of you non-druggos out there,

welcome to our parenting podcast. There's this thing called the Terence McNally dose.

Or maybe it's the Terrence McAradice. The Terrence McNally dose? Yeah. It's either Terence

McNally or Terence McKenna, doesn't matter. It's one of those authors who wrote a lot about drugs.

And he was like, you got to do 30 grams of mushrooms.

Now, to give you some relative sense, the little mini chocolate piece that my wife eats when she wants to sort of have a nice day is one quarter of one gram.

Holy shit.

Excuse me, that's 120 times

that amount? Yeah. And that's where he got to meet the electric elves and it's fucking cool. But the sheer amount of mushroom you have to put into your, like it's a lot of things. Just physical matter. Right. Yeah. This just sounds gross. Aren't they disgusting? If you walked into five guys and you were like, I would like 30 grams,

they'd be like,

well, too much food,

just eat until you're not full anymore. So me and a friend are going to go get a cabin and do Terrence McNally doses this year. I want to come. Very excited for it. But Anna is the worst negotiator in the world because she's like, don't do that.

Just do some drugs.

And I'm like, I don't want to do when someone is seeking the drug experience.

And again, non-druggy people in our audience, I must be like, I have to eat the whole buffet.

But you have to understand that if you love drugs, there are two drug experiences you seek. There is the have a good time drug experience that you had. You were in college. Someone passed your joint. You took a hit off it. You gig it a little bit. You were like, got it. That's what drugs are. And then there's the- Thomas with red wine that needs to be finished on a table. That's right. Exactly. Yes. It's the red wine of mushrooms, which is you are there to fundamentally change your consciousness.

You are resetting.
