TDM: Total Dad Movies with Tooky, Dave, & Mike
Mike and Dave are two Gen X Dads who grew up watching movies because there was nothing else to do. Tooky is a Millennial dad-in-training who grew up with the internet, and thus never needed to watch ROAD HOUSE on cable. Mike (a standup comedian) and Dave (an improviser and occasional academic) will present Tooky (comedian, social critic and dad-in-training) with a new (old) movie every week and answer the important questions: Are white people ok? When did Nic Cage become a whole thing?Are these movies good, or are Mike and Dave wallowing in toxic nostalgia? Every Tuesday, TDM promises to bridge the generation gap, one dad movie at a time.
Intro/outro music: "It's Almost Late Night" from the album WE HAD A GOOD RUN by Dave Rabinow, available at www.daverabinow.com

AIR FORCE ONE
We probably shouldn't ask more from our President than competence. Make some laws, keep the trains running on time, and be generally moral. I might be giving away too much, but I generally like the current guy. But you put him next to President Indiana Jones, and yeah, the achievements look a little thin. But to be fair, President Indiana Jones (I mean James Marshall, but really, who are we kidding?) never seemed particularly well-positioned to address anything that wasn't punchable. He doesn't even know how fax machines work, for crying out loud! I tell you what, I will base my vote in 2024 on whichever candidate I think could send a fax. If you do the same, it'll be a landslide on the side of justice. Anyway, Presidents are not Dads, but they sure feel like Dad stand-ins. That is whole other podcast, though.
