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 is just nodding along and checking its watch.

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

Hello, Tom Curry. Barfing noises. Oh, brother, I'm sorry. Your Father's Day sounds horrific, Thomas Smith. We're just coming off of Father's Day and you're stuck with some kind of virus or food poisoning. And just so listeners know, Eli and I were both of the mind that you should take today off. And Thomas Smith, ever the trooper, said, nay, nay, I shan't. I shan't. I'm going to do you like 12 better. I'm not even going to launch into the whole story, which I think is pretty funny, but I'm not going to because then I'll do that, and then I'll be talking for like 40 minutes, and then we'll be like, oh, yeah, we didn't do the episode. I'm not going to do that to you. So, yeah, I had a hell of a story. You'll never hear it. It isn't a hell of a story yesterday. I actually do have a really funny part of it for the after if nobody.

I know I mentioned this before. I just recently moved into a new house. And the house is new construction, which means that there was no yard. when we took possession of the house, there was just dirt that we were just living in the fucking dust bowl because it's also

as a... that there was no yard when we took possession of the house. There was just dirt that we were just living in the fucking dust bowl because it's also,

as opposed to you in California, Thomas, here in Chicago, it is characteristic, uncharacteristically dry this year.

So we've had very little rain.

It's dry as hell.

So we are living in the fucking dust bowl is what we were living in until they got the

sod in and the grass seed blanket down. And then they put that stuff down last week. And I now,

gentlemen, I have, people have asked me many times on this show and others. They say, Tom, you sound

very busy. You got a lot of stuff going on. But what are your hobbies? And I've never been

able to answer that

question until now. And I can tell you guys, my new hobby is watering the goddamn lawn. That's all I do

now. I manage sprinklers. I am a sprinkler manager. I feel like I'm like the golf course attendee

or the guy who's like running the tarps out onto the field when it rains. I'm the opposite of that.

I like me and my neighbors, all we do all day is we wave at each other. Hey man. How you doing? Hey man.

How you doing? And then we fucking move sprinklers around. That's what we do for 14 hours. I hate it.
