0:09.7	I know now what I can offer you that no one else can. Complete and undependent.

0:23.1	Yelling is the only part of being a father that I enjoy.
0:27.9	Welcome to Dear Old Dads, the podcast that's not sure if it's going for nanny, dapper, or disheveled. I'm Tom Curry and I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen.

0:54.0	if they could just, we'd be total frauds. it would be over. It'd be like no one would ever take us seriously again. Because I assume Eli is in a pug shirt that's a giant way too big pug face shirt. Like a size 7XL, even though he doesn't need it. Shows you, this one's Halloween themed.

2:14.0	That's how I change into fucking half zip and I've got really nice jeans that fit and I, you would think I am a put together person for the 14 seconds I put Max in and then I'm literally I will tell you because this exactly happened to me today. Today I had to drop them off and pick him up so I dropped them off. I'm in my half zip and my jeans.
2:34.5	And I'm like, how's it going?
