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 just itching to get involved. I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. Hey, yo. All right. I need to apologize for the yikyak I read the other day. I got the age of the babies wrong. So it was a little less crazy. They found out about the switch and the IVF at like two months or something. Oh, fuck off. Changes the whole thing.

They were, I know.

I know. Delete the whole episode. Two months. That's nothing. Give the baby back and who cares. That's a nothing story. But it took them a while. It took, that was when they started the testing and then by the time, I think they had just about fully traded by four months. So sorry about that. I went to go check and I swear I saw a year, but it must have been, I was just scanning real fast.

Because it was too long in between. just about fully traded by four months. So sorry about that. I went to go check and I swear I saw a year,

but it must have been, I was just scanning real fast because it was too long in between when I read it and when we did the episode. My fault. I was thinking a little bit more about this. I think that by the age of 13, I probably wouldn't trade. By the time they're like, you know, a teenager, early teenager, I'd probably be like, yeah, all right.

I'm kind of settled into this one.

Important thing is, it's the first time any of us have ever gotten anything wrong on the air, you know, and I just want to... It's certainly the first time many of us have admitted it. I just wish you'd take your responsibility as a skeptic a little more seriously, Thomas. It's just like, we carry the torch of truth here on our podcast. That makes me feel better because as I thought about it, I mean, Tom, I think you were totally on the soul to both of you, really. It's like a year is that is pretty crazy. That would be pretty real. Yeah, that's fucking bonkers. But a two months is nothing other problem. The problem with two months is that's nothing.

That shouldn't have been in the newspaper. Should have been a story, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like what you fucking crying about? That should have been like, oh, I set down my baby here and you set down your baby here and then we accidentally mix them up for five minutes. Yeah. I feel like they're like suitcases at that point. Like if you grab a brown suitcase and you get a brown suitcase, like whatever.

When you're waiting for lugging, you grab someone else's suitcase and they're like, that's mine.

You're like suitcases at that point. Like if you grab a brown suitcase and you get a brown suitcase, like, whatever. When you're waiting for a luggin, you grab someone else's a suitcase and they're like, that's mine. You're like, oh, is there anything good in it? Like that's how newsworthy that situation was. This becomes like one of those sitcom like, oh, my goldfish died. I got a new goldfish tropes, you know? Baby looks about right. Here it is. Here's my plan. The husbands have to get together, meet with the babies, and make hair and makeup experts. And they're like, how do we slowly transition the babies to each other over time? Practical effects. Yeah, each day like, oh, that eyebrows is a little thing, whatever it is.

Like, hair is slightly darker, you know, and then. And you have to do the whole thing and stop motion, too, that's the other part. It's like, yeah. They meet in the middle, swaparoo. Nobody's the wiser. Can I just say, too, that I saw a lot of comments from people on that episode where they were essentially. Yeah. I know. It is.

It is, generally speaking.

It is.

Where they all kind of said something similar, which is like, oh, in that circumstance, I would like be super duper friends with the family and, like, more people who love your kid. Yep. Like, that sounds fine, but I thought, like, but I don't like most fucking people. What if they're Christians? Yeah. No, but like, it's not even what it.

Like, I don't like most atheists.

Like, most people I meet, I'm unlikely to be like, oh, now we're family. We love each other. We have the same thoughts. And, like, the chances of that happening are fucking, in my mind, like infinitesimally small. Right. But, Tom, you understand that's not a universal experience, right?

Like, don't most people dislike most people?

Yeah, like... Right, but Tom, you understand that's not a universal experience, right? Like, don't most people dislike most people?
