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 floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.

I'm Tom Curry. I'm joined as always always, by Thomas Smith and Eli Bosnik.

Hello, gentlemen.

What did you say?

What did you fucking say to me? Put him up. Yeah. Are you talking to me? Huh? Are you talking to me? He wants to marry a child prostitute in that movie. It's a good time. Oh, my God. Holy shit. You're not wrong. We forget that there's a big pedophilia element to that movie. Yeah.

And I feel like we should talk about it. Is it too late to switch what the show is? I never like that movie. I don't understand. I don't like that movie either. It's like, yeah, he did a bunch of stuff to fucking be a method actor or whatever. And yeah, that's fine, but I don't like it. Oh, is that you think the sort of

thing around it is like the people who are deeply into De Niro's performance. I've just always thought it's like a lone wolf movie because so many lone wolves think of themselves as like a wild man on the edge with a heart of gold. And that's so much of what that movie's about. But does he have the heart of gold, though? Because I feel like he's missing the heart of gold.

He doesn't. That's the thing, is, you ever see someone who has a Scarface poster in their bedroom, and you're like, what did you get out of Scarface, sir? So weird. Sir, do you think that Scarface enjoys the events of the movie Scarface? I've never actually seen Scarface. It's on my list. Never, I'll never watch that again. Haley and I are making a list of the Tom hasn't seen any movies that we keep and we're sort of like checking them off. We actually watched Mommy Dearest the other thing. Oh, Mommy Dearest is great. Which I had never seen. It's really interesting. I haven't seen that either.

Fascinating fucking movie, actually.

So weird tie-in, maybe. I guess that little kid from Mommy Dearest maybe should have learned how to fight. Yeah, exactly. But the only thing worse than wire hangers, Tom. Ah, yes. is the auto ads, which, like so many hangers, have been used to abort the podcast from your ears and fill them instead with, I don't know, Verizon ads, a paper tarry.

You guys get in the paper tarian ones?

What?

What the fuck is a paperterian?

I'm a patron.

You're a patron?

Okay, I'm getting a lot of these where people are like, hey, did you know they make boxes out of paper?

Please, dear God.

And then I don't even know who's behind that advertisement, but I get them every 10 seconds,
