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 Dan's the podcast that's pretty sure it's sarcoidosis. I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, hello.

Now, that joke works if you watched House. Did you guys, are your house? No, it's a house thing. Yeah, I got it. I got it. I almost yelled it. It's not lupus. It's not lupus. It's not sarcoidosis. Thomas Smith. Hugh Lorry fan?

No, I hate House.

I actually almost made the lupus joke, and I was like, wait, I don't want anyone to get the impression that I like House. Like, I was like, I liked House. Yeah, take us there. What's weird? Well, we used to have the show called Dear Old Dads until creative differences led us to... Taurus apart.

Tom Steele a podcast while he's talking. All right. I've changed all the past. I don't know any of our passwords, though. Eli, there's no chance you like the show house. And if you do, I love house. You are pretending to like it for someone else. So first of all, it aired when I was a child. So I have no idea if I like it in the modern day. what don't you like about house?

It's absolutely terrible.

It's a terrible, terrible show. Use reasons, Tom. That's just the thing. That's another way of saying I don't like it. You don't like it again. You see, he's such a genius that we have to put up with how horrible he is at all times. That's what I thought it was. I think think I've done this bit too many times. That's why I, but like, he's such a genius. You see, we have to put up with how much of an asshole he is. Because you can only be a genius if you're also an asshole. It's the only way. And then every dude watching is like, yeah, that's me. That's going to be me. I'm going to be so smart that I don't have to be nice to anyone. I can be a piece of shit all the time, but I'm so smart. And they need me so bad. Not only that, but like his assholery was always the solution to the puzzle. Yeah, yeah. Like it wasn't just that he was an asshole, right? because that's all doctors. He was an asshole, and he would get someone so mad,

they'd be like,

you're just like the black mold underneath my sink. And he'd be like,

that's it. Black mold. I did this say every episode, for some reason, him being impolite and insensitive

to people would be the thing. And then, and I, again, I haven't watched this show for years, but I'm just going off

recollection.

Every, like, 11 episodes, he would, like, sigh while leaning against the door and we'd be

like, he's probably a really great guy.

And I'd be like, no, there's no evidence.

That's my have the same exact.

He's sad sometimes.

Twice a season, he'll do like, hey, you're all right.
