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 whose mom is still alive. That's weird. I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen.

For the record, I'm glad my mom is still alive. This time, it only applies to one member.

I'm glad my mom's still alive. You shouldn't be.

Such a dick. Maybe when she dies, she'd be like, oh, she did her best living. She's still alive.

If you think about it, it's all right. She really tried to be alive. Like I said, she watches the sharks now and, like, text me about it. I think it's her way of trying to like kind of have some kind of relationship with you. Yeah. And, like, honestly, it works. My burnt out brain is like, yeah, I will be watching this. And if someone else is watching, it's like, oh, cool.

Nice.

I'll talk to you.

And then she texts Lydia about heated rock. Burnt out brain is like, yeah, I will be watching this. And if someone else is watching, it's like, oh, cool.

Nice.

I'll talk to you.

And then she texts Lydia about heated rivalry. Everybody's on the same page. Oh, my God, that would be really funny. Are the women in your lives in touch with heated rivalry? Well, you know what's funny is I actually, Lydia, so Lydia was doing this before

it was cool because she's read, she's had for a long time a book version of that, not that

book, but like a different one that I think might even predate that one that she's been reading

for a long time. And it's been funny. It's been a joy. I like hearing about it. But then this

thing comes out, you know, and these Johnny Come Latelys. Johnny Come on. They are Johnny coming lately to this. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And what's funny is she watched a few episodes and then like we were actually not sure. I don't know if you guys do this, but like it was on the line of like, well, do you want to watch this? And I was like,

I mean, I might just because like everybody's talking about it. So poor Lydia, I think she stopped because like she wasn't sure if I was going to watch it with her. And so I think she's, I think she's only gotten through like two, three episodes. I feel bad. Maybe we should make that You should just tell her that you'll watch it with her.

No, we were.

I was like, oh, yeah.
