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 podcast that's not taking care of any of you. I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, hello. You're not going to, you're not going to take care of me, Tom? Okay. You know what, Thomas, I'll take care of you. I will take care. Not like you have anything else to do. Yeah, what else? I got nothing. Have you guys ever done any elder care personally? Ooh, yeah. Only a little bit. That was my first job. That was your first job. Wait a minute. They let you take care of people? You can have a job that's not a car wash? I know. How much fighting of the elderly did you do? It was actually surprisingly easy. They're fragile. Fragile people. No, it was one of my first jobs was working in an old age home. Wow. Oh, really? What did you do?

I developed a deep fear of getting old is. Yeah, right? I don't know actually what the official term was, but I was called a candy striper.

Oh, wow. I think that's... I've always heard that term and never known what it was. I thought it was women who did something during the war times. I don't know.

I got nothing. Yeah, I honestly couldn't tell you that I know a hundred percent what it means.

I got to look that up now. Yeah, I don't know. I did it. I did it. I brought people medicine. There were

always nurses who gave them said medicine.

I would hang out.

Okay, okay.

I'm not so wrong.

My connotation was that it was women who did a health thing in wartimes, and that's

pretty much what it was.

Yeah.

Okay.

Great.

And that's what Eli did as his job, I guess.

When I was like 17 or 18 in that range, like my senior year around that time, my best friend,

his grandfather had a stroke.

And like his stroke completely was an older guy, obviously.
