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.

Hello, welcome to dear old dads, the podcast that isn't afraid to wear crocs while recording.

I'm joined by Thomas Smith, Eli Bosnick. I'm Tom Curry, and guys, welcome to the show.

Oh, thanks for welcoming us to our own show.

I appreciate that.

To your own show. Welcome to your own show, guys. I wear crocs to formal events, Tom. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Did we decide, is this a formal crock record, or do we? I'm a crox when you mow the lawn guy

Or at least I at least I was

Because then you don't care

How you emerge from that fucking disaster. Plus, you're already mowing your lawn. You're just in full fucking suburban dad mode at that point. So no one's looking at you looking like, I'm going to fuck that guy later. That is 100% not happening when you're out there on the fucking lawn. Unintentionally, we've just stumbled upon 15 minutes of lawn talk that we need to do. I'm a new lawn. We got to have a section called lawn talk. Yeah, lawn talk. This show should just be called lawn talk. Get on our lawn. Yeah, I don't know. I'm a new lawn owner and I don't, I'm in California, so I'm anti-lawn.

But the house we just moved into already had some lawns. But it was like, you know, we moved in sort of the fall, winter months. So I was like, oh, we'll just let it sit. And then I'm going to replace it with something. I don't know what. But in the meantime, parts of it just grew out of control. And so I was in this weird state of like, I'm not going to buy a fucking lawnmore because I don't want a lawn.

I'm not going to buy a lawnmore.

But. Parts of it just grew out of control. And so I was in this weird state of like, I'm not going to buy a fucking lawnmore because I don't want a lawn.

I'm not going to buy a lawnmower, don't want a lawn. But it got so big, you know, I lost some of my kids in it. I have two. I had four. I started with some number greater than that. I don't know how much. I'll find them later. And so I borrowed a lawnmower.

There's a fucking cheetah when you part the grass, like just like staring back at you, like fucking yellow eyes.

Yeah, several rounds. I'll find him later. And so I borrowed a lawn mower. When you part the grass, like, just like staring back at you, like fucking yellow eyes.

Yeah, several rattlesnakes. It's just, it's not good. We accidentally did a real Stephen King book, guys. I'm sorry. We actually that's a real stupid game book.

Barn mower,

since I'm new to the whole
