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 maybe got a little kale in its teeth. I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. Tom's mad about technology, everybody. He's trying to cover it up. I'm trying to calm down, Eli. You're not going to help me, right? I'm trying to do a funny show where we do the like the bits about parenting and not the fucking handshakingly angry desire to smash my fucking computer a la office space every time I look at it.

He didn't get to eat any food.

He gave up food for a webpan.

That's not helping either.

Like you take a guy like me who's hungry to start with.

Tom, you could just strip away my time to eat.

You're just so mad.

Just eat like,

eat some computer stuff.

I don't know what this week's show is about, but for me, it's about picking fights with Tom. So I just want to say for the record, Haley's faking it, okay? I feel like it's been a while since I've said it and I just want to get it out. Feels good. Feels good. Oh, fuck. All right. Let's move the hell away from that time. Actually, I want to ask, because this is just a kind of related to my, my silly little intro, but like, if you see somebody,

if you're with somebody, because this just happened to me the last couple of days, I had to go away for work for my stupid golf thing the other day. So I just got back last night, like about one in the morning. But if you're at a work thing or you're in a polite company and you see

somebody with shit in their teeth, do you say something or not say something? I think so. Has this happened to you? Oh, yeah. Probably, I can't think of a specific instance, but yeah. No, you say something. Because I'm going to give you my answer, but I want to know what yours is. Okay, so Thomas, you're on the side of yes, Eli?

I'm on the side of no.

I'm going to go ahead and say no.

So I'm going to go with, it depends on who it is and how much I like them. So I was saying dinner. It's your mortal enemy and it's like the interview to get the grant for the side. Yeah, okay. If I just have a chance to be a little bit petty through inaction with somebody I don't like. I have I have to go away to this

work thing and you know, for the side. Yeah, okay. Or if I just have a chance to be a little bit petty through inaction with

somebody I don't like. I have to go away to this work thing. And, you know, we gather together and we do socializing and meetings. And I know I've talked about in the show before. So I don't get too much further into it. But, you know, my industry is very internally competitive. So, you know, these folks that I work with, they, many of them are,
