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 turns everything into math.

Who the fuck is Doug Curry? Who the fuck is talking about?

Oh my God, there's been an invasion.

It's been an invasion in our podcast. That's not my beautiful wife. I took a little, I took a little breather. That's someone even hotter than my actual. Nice little break. Nice little vacay. A way to take Haley up to Wisconsin to see a specialist. Then it happened to be that we could only do it on the day that we were recording. So you guys had to do the show without me.

And I will say it suffered great. Oh, I wouldn't have given you that much shit if I knew

it was a Haley appointment. Talk. You didn't listen. Did you tell me? Yeah, Eli was super cool about

it. He was very understanding. I went hard. Tom mess is just there was a doctor's appointment, and I was like, motherfucker, your neck is fine. I'm pretty sure I mentioned in the episode that it was for Haley, and Eli was just, like, refused to believe that it was. No. Sometimes Eli decides what he decides, and you can't talk him out of it. And that's it. He decided I was from L.A. for like, I don't know, what, four years?

He kept saying that?

I still think you're from L.A.

I refuse to believe anything else. There's a construction of reality that comes from Eli's mind that is just... It's really hard to get through it. Locked the fuck in. Locked the fuck in. So I appreciate you guys, you know, doing this show obviously. Did the doctor tell you she's faking it?

Because that's what I've heard. locked the fuck in. So I appreciate you guys, you know, doing this show, obviously.

Did the doctor tell you she's faking it?

Because that's what I've heard. No, very. You know what's fucking nuts, though? Let me, let me, I'll offer this. So she obviously has not been feeling well. This is why we're going to trying to figure out what's going on. We figured out what's going on. We're taking her to this specialist up in Wisconsin.

We're driving back.

And she's like, you know, I feel worse than I normally feel.

She got some blood results back and some blood results. She's like, Jesus Christ, these things are all fucking crazy. And then it occurs to her that Aislin had mono about a month ago. And Aisland had mono. It was not a big deal for her at all. She was, you know, a little bit sick for a few days. We weren't real worried about it because 95% of adult Americans have had mono. Haley had mono and remembers having it. Most people get it. Is that one you can only get once? Well, it's funny that you ask Thomas Smith because about 5% of people can get it more than once. And driving back, we got blood results,

stopped at a physician's immediate care,

had Haley test it.
