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 all about the fine print. I'm Tom Curry.

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

Till death do us part, Tom, till death do us part.

Oh, that makes me curious. When you guys got married, did you guys write your own vows?

Because we're going to talk about prenups. And prenups are kind of like, hey, I'm going to make promises and I don't intend to

keep them sort of document. So I'm curious like, so I'm curious when you guys got married,

if you wrote your own vows or if you used like a standard set of vows. Oh, God, can you,

okay, does anybody use a standard set of vows? I mean, I know the religious ones have them, right? I get if you do the ceremony, they have the weird cult one that's like, and I own the vagina between your legs and it will near go athwartin to the sheep fields of. Okay, did you, you were at my wedding, You wrote down my vows, Eli? You just write down the vows I wrote. That's weird. My Catholic sister, you have some old fuck priest. You don't even know who in the middle of the ceremony talks about how like, and of course the man owns the fucking house. And goes into this like fucking patriarchal bit in the middle of your wedding. I don't know if she was into it or not, but that literally happened at my, my older sister's wedding. And it was a priest. They didn't even know because it was a, like, and I never heard from them if they were cool of that. Apparently they were, but like, fuck off. It's every wedding. Every wedding where they don't have their friend Steve do it, where they're like, yeah, no, her mom's really, really.

Every time that guy is like, just a quick thought about trans people and you're like, yeah.

You should have your friend Steve do it.

I know it's, that doesn't turn out great either, but at least it's bad for different reasons. Yeah. You know, like having the random priest do it, Jesus fucking Christ. What, what Haley and I did, and it's actually, because I haven't answered your question, like, I did use for my, my first wedding, I did use just the standard vows. And in fact, and this might come as a surprise given how much, but I think it's actually

very telling in retrospect, given how much I write. I write constantly. Like, right? I am

always writing something. I'm always thinking I'm going to like enter into this thing. There was no way

if I look back. There was no way to think I was entering into something that really mattered to me as much as

it should have the first time if I didn't write my, and I didn't even occur to me to write my own

vows for my first. Yeah, you put more work into the intros for this show, apparently.

Yeah. Those you at least write like four seconds before the thing. It's so funny how much time I spent writing my vows for my marriage to Haley.

I spent a huge amount of time writing my vows and really thinking about what promises were
