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 doesn't have enough time to write a pithy intro because Eli has to record immediately after this recording.

I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Eli Bosnick and Thomas Smith. Hello, gentlemen. Poo! Look, I know I'm not monogamous. We're speed-rock. Tom, how do you handle the fact that, you know, we're on a date and then our date is like, oh, yeah, can we cut this short? I got another date after this. Yeah. How do you handle that is what I want to know? Well, and consider especially that you show up 15 minutes late for all of our dates. How does that feel? First take into account that you are eight minutes late for every single date we have ever been on. I can't tell you, you're talking about me or are you talking about him?

Oh, both of you.

Both of you.

I wasn't sure who...

No, I'm routinely late.

I am constantly and routinely late.

I'll say Tom Clean Fresh doesn't show up more often than Thomas does.

But Thomas doesn't show up without warning more often than Tom does. So it's fun. It's nice. Yeah. That has happened a couple times. I've been in a solid coma. And Lydia has to unplug the machine and then get the, and then like the doctors come in. They rub the two irons together. Clear. Yeah. And then they put it on me. Bersorp you. It burns a lot. It burns a lot. It's what happens. What do you use to wake up, time? Do you use a regular alarm clock? Just my phone. Stop trying to sell them on shock clock. You got to get electricity involved. Like big electricity, you know? Like, come on. Ow, electricity.

Well, I assume the phone has some. Yeah, just hook it up right to your balls. You

won't not oversleep. I'm just saying, you will not oversleep. Well, then why aren't you

on time all the time? Because I'm just constantly mismanaging my time.

Because Tom has a grown-up job, and there's a moment in the middle of a conversation

that was supposed to end at Blank, where he should go, sorry guys, I've got a good podcast,

that he doesn't because he likes eating food 100% of the time.

I am the king of mismanaging my time.

I constantly underestimate how long everything is going to take because I'm like, well, I gotta get like six things done. I have five units of time to do them. So I'm just going to decide that's possible. And then I'm like, if I if nothing goes wrong and everything is perfect, this will work out exactly as it should. And of course, that isn't how life is. So I'm always running, like, at least a few minutes late to everything. I have no idea what else to do about it. I try so hard to be on time for this, you know? And I've been worse lately. I've regressed. That's crazy. I regret. I've regressed. We would have to have different definitions of the word trying.

Remember that one time that we recorded around the time of my time, Pacific time,
