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 know how any of this works and refuses to learn. I'm Tom Curry.

Too real, Tom, too real.

Too real. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith,

Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. Hello. My microphone worked right away when we all logged on today.

Do you have any idea how your microphone works? Yes. Eli, between, of all the three of us,

yeah, I don't think you've got a lot of room here. The goblins in the microphone.

Okay.

Anti-Semitic impersonation to me.

To the goblins in the Zoom.

Let's peel back the technological curtain because there's a lot of on your high horse from Eli over here.

Eli could very easily, very easily have us hear the quality mic that he records

into. But no, the way he has it set up, we hear him talking to a tin can plugged into a Commodore

64, plugged into a webcam mic from the 90s. That's what we hear. And then he records with a nicer

mic that I get the audio file for.

And that's what you all listening here.

So just before you get all high and mighty, Eli, just let it be known that we have to

suffer through your terrible audio in real time.
