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 not crying. It's just dusty in here.

I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. Well, it's both. I just want to make sure, like, my place is dusty as hell and I'm also crying. Like, I wanted to clarify. It's just always allergies. It's just always allergies, no matter what. I'm just always crying. And I don't dust. I just getting the record straight on all that.

Never mind that I'm mainlining Zyrtec at all times living in a house with cats that I'm

allergic to, you know, so, but it's still, it's allergies.

It's just, it's allergies.

I promise.

Allergy talk.

We got this weird thing in, time to really hit the next gear with this show.

We had this weird thing.

You're not going to believe this.

We had this weird thing called rain this year.

Water comes out of sky.

No, I sound insane.

I sound insane.

Okay, how do I say, look it up.

Yeah.

Because the East Coast had smoke and you had, yeah. Oh, yes. The amount of stoners in my life who regularly inhale bongs of smoke into their lungs that were like, everyone be careful, okay, guys. The particle count is at 200 today. Like, don't get me wrong. I absolutely understand all the sympathy in the world, but then to be like,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, God, I cannot leave the house today. I just can't too much about myself. Yeah, because I heard coverage of it where it was like, it is 400, and it's bad. It's, it is definitely, believe me, we have been through that. That's like two years ago, I think it was, the whole summer was that.
