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 Pondas.

Oh, thank God. Oh, thank God. He's here. Eli, Jesus, fucking Christ. Oh, thank God he's here.

Tom, thank you, buddy. I couldn't do this again. I thought things went well while I was gone. I appreciated that episode. I was, you know, what I'm coming to realize, actually, is that you guys sometimes maybe a little better off without me. Maybe I should be here a little less. No, no, you're the glue. You're the glue. A little less. I have that voice in my head too, Tom. You're not supposed to listen to it. Hey, you know what I'd like to be less of? The glue. Can I be less of the glue? You know? Can I just be a slightly disposable? Well, Tom, you used to be a real workhorse, and then they took you to the glue factory. Yeah, yeah. I think you read the first half of Animal Farm, and you were like, well, this boxer fella, he's the one fucking getting things going. No, I don't think I need to read the rest of this, Mrs. McGillacuddy. I get it. I've got it. Call me boxer from now on. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I just, I wanted to make sure that I took another chill, relaxing day. Kick back, relax, and slack off. But I'm back, gentlemen. The show that has Tom. Did I let you finish the show that has Tom? Thank God. Show that has Tom. I didn't write anything for the intro anyway. I was going to wing it and you guys saved me.

Well, he was on vacation for the intro too. It's nice. You got a little vacation, extra vacation in there. Hit the snooze button on the vacation. That's right. He was actually asleep during the intro. He does micro sleep every commercial break if anybody wasn't aware. I didn't set my zapping watch, so I slept for a whole week.

It's a problem.

It's a problem. It's a problem. It ran out of battery in the backup battery and the whole house battery. Yeah, I've got solar panels. I'm just hooked directly to the solar panels now. That's good. When the sun hits them in the morning, you know? Rise with the sun, yes. It's like you're very young rooster. That's some Huberman shit, right? Like you got to wake up and go stare at the sun hits him in the morning. Rise with the sun, yes. It's like your very own rooster.

That's some Huberman shit, right? Like you got to wake up and go stare at the sun in order to like be a person or whatever. The pseudoscience of what you just said just gained us 100,000 listeners. I didn't know who knew that. But just the bad idea of things to do to your body actually just put us to number seven on ice. Are we obligated to tell people not to do vaccines or something, though?

Yes, sure.

Don't do vaccines or something, though?

Yeah, sure.

Don't do vaccines.

But you do have to make sure to face your ice bath east.

That's important.

Always have your ice bath facing east. And hold your breath and do it by yourself.

Here's the thing that we need to confront, which is that their pseudoscience and the bullshit

seems to just be killing douche-nazzles.

Like, when we started out reporting on atheist news, and Tom, back me up here because

you've been in this fucking game.
