I'm the cool dad. That's, that's my thing.

I know 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 whose kid is better than yours, and we have the bumper sticker to prove it.

Tom Curry. I'm joined as always by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnick. Hello, gentlemen. Is it the one that says baby on board? I always love that. I made this joke for 20 years. I'm sure it's old by now. But I love the implication that like most cars, you can just fucking kill. Like you can just ram your car through it. No big deal. Smash them to do whatever you want. If you see that sticker,

though, there's a baby. So don't do it to that one. You laugh, but you need to check your not

a terrible driver privilege because I do actually start when I see a baby on board sticker,

my usual homicidal negligence momentarily subsides until that car is out of view. Oh, dude, I will tell you a story

that really does not frame me very well, but like whatever, it's true. When I was in my early

20s, yeah, because I was still in college, I was in my early 20s, maybe even late teens. I got,

I was driving somewhere. I don't remember where I was near my work. I got cut off, like,

real aggressively by somebody. And it just was like wrong day, wrong time. And I got super pissed. And I, like, followed that person flashing my lights. I just had a total road rage incident. Like, I, like, acted like a total dick. And they finally pulled over in a Wennie's parking lot. And I pulled over. And I was so hot about it. And I pulled over and I got out of my car and i pulled over and i was so hot about it and i

pulled over and i got out of my car and i looked in the car and they had a kid and i immediately was

like you got a kid you're going to cut me off and piss me off and you got a kid and i got back in my car

because i was like but like i totally i think there's actually something too and i guess is what

i'm saying because i was like so righteously angry in my dumb testosterone-fueled teenage early 20 male mind, you know?

And then I saw this kid and I was like, but I could have hurt you in front of your kid, you know?

Exactly.

I take it all back.

Now that I think about it,

it's more like the signed student driver.
