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 undependence.

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 throwing the old pig skin around.

I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen.

Hello, hello, hello. We were promised a barbershop story, so I assumed we were going to do the intro. It's a quartet story.

Yeah, it's absolutely, yeah. I'd like to point out that when we first opened this podcast, Tom would

be like, what's a dadism that I can incorporate with the theme of this episode? And now we're like, so we're thinking and he's like, that word.

I have that word and I will say something related to that word.

It's fine.

That's it. I get it.

I ran out of dadism's like 12 shows in, all right?

I mean, I didn't realize this show was going to take off and actually work.

The real dad thing to do would be to tell the same joke over and over every time. Yeah, they do. We pretend it's actually funny every time. I'd kill myself. But that is what dads do. Did you ever have those friends? I know we joke. Oh, dad jokes. They're not funny. But like, you guys know me. I can't stand repetition, like to a point to kind of a pathological degree.

And so any repeated jokes. they're not funny. But like, you guys know me. I can't stand repetition, like to a point to

kind of a pathological degree. And so any repeated jokes. Yeah. And so did you have those

friends' dads or your dad? I don't know. Who fucking had to do those jokes and you had to pretend

they would make you react. Did you have any of those friends' dads? So not in friends' dads, but I have a very specific thing.

The folk music scene, which my wife is deeply ingrained in, is filled with that, but just

that, no other humor.

Because I don't know if you guys know this, but I am a humorist, if you will.
