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 pushing for better things. I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen.

How's it going? How's it going? Nobody knows what this is.

I'm excited. I'm excited. I have, what's going to? I was listening to our show. I was listening to our show the other day and I realized that I often say hello at the beginning. And I was like, I got to to mix it up and so I realized what I'm going to do is I'm going to do exactly three and a half seconds of my one man stomp at the beginning of random shows to be fair we've had a lot of requests for your song from the other day yeah yeah your sleepover

Anna has offered to make a techno remix of it. So we'll see. I like the freestyle version. I'd like another verse or two. You know, that's what I think. Yeah, exactly. Get them ready. Got to get them ready. Got to earn it. They got to earn it. Maybe the patrons. The patron bonus this month will just be a fully orchestra. You know when they do that thing where they like take video game music and they get like the New York Philharmonic?

We'll do that.

Mine and Arlo's dream. Before we start the show show, which is going to be an Am I the asshole, which I think is a crazy one, I got to tell you guys on air because I told you off the side that about this community I found on Facebook called Dads Helping Dads. I've never found a Facebook group with 115,000 men and only men allowed to join that was so

weirdly non-toxic.

I'm still, like, I'm having, I'm actually so blown away by this that I'm having a difficult

time processing the fucking Narnia cabinet

level of decency that seems to be present in this group. I really won't. I was telling the

guys like I, I'm going to tell the listeners about it because I actually think it's good. I think it's

genuinely good. And also if you joined it and promoted the show on it organically, that wouldn't hurt

us.

But like, I thought you were going to say, and nobody can ruin a group faster than you.

Like, get in there.

Just saying, you know, if a bunch of people showed up and organically promoted the show

in front of 115,000 people, I wouldn't.

I wouldn't feel sad about that,
