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's a little unsure of its role. I'm Tom Curry.

I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Hello. Hey, so welcome to the like scomberts one week, one week of anniversary at this point, week and a half, two weeks.

Or wait, what days is? Jesus. Yeah, he's two weeks and a couple days. Holy shit. It went really fast, the holidays. That's already done. Doesn't that, that bums me out. I don't know, maybe it doesn't bum you guys out because, you know, for me, uh, holidays were the one source of joy in an otherwise completely dismal childhood. Um, but, uh, back when you were a kid, Christmas break was a year.

You know, like, you're just like, oh, we're off.

Oh, my God.

It still seems like a year.

Fucking weeks.

That is not a unit of time.

I was going to say, because I was taking care of a toddler for two weeks, and it felt

plenty long to me. I'll tell you what,

man, we can watch some hardcore pornography if you'll be quiet for 10 minutes. I'll be quiet.

Can I come over? I had, for the two-week Christmas break, we have it set up, we have it structured.

This is the way to go. Like, this is just great. We have it structured up. We have it structured. This is the way to go. Like, this is just great.

We have it structured so that we have no kids for one week and all the kids the next. Oh,

yeah. That's great. So it's awesome. How do I do that? It's, it's, it's, it's, you just got a

divorce Lydia and then remarries. Or do we do it amongst ourselves, like the three of us. Oh. One person. But I already have it. So. Third. Okay. Eli, you take all my kids. I feel like I'm kind of, you know, it's even. It's like splitting the bill at a restaurant where I ordered like five lobsters. Right. Well, just split it up. Belai, you take, you know, the kids for one week and I'll take the kids for another week.

Yeah.
