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.

Welcome to Dear Old Dance, the podcast, hosted by bad winners and sore losers.

I'm Tom Curry, and I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick.

Afternoon gentlemen. Hello, Tom. I take great exception to that. You know what, Tom,
