Harmontown Dadfished

[@rooeverett6839]

i don't know why everyone is saying this is a boring story, I was laughing harder than i have in a long time!!

[@deltablaze77]

Just a bunch of kids that can't relate because they haven't figured out how horrible their relationship with their parents is yet.

Get out more often.

[@MrJonsonville5]

This was quality entertainment in my book. Different strokes I guess...

[@WixkedLovy]

I thought it was crazy but I kind see near the end how it can be a bit boring/repetitive since you’re just waiting for him to figure out it’s not his dad. But it’s still a funny and sad story

[@hughbiffingmock]

I had to sit down at work I was laughing so hard the first time listening to it. Just so ridiculous

Hi the Dean please bring me olives

[@curtisasdasdasdasd7169]

As Niles said, Jerry is in a lot of ways Dan. Season 3 Jerry is basically what Dan was going through and how he saw himself.

[@roems6396]

@@mitchrudolph65 And? Grown men don’t speak to their father every three days. That isn’t unusual at all. Yes, Dan obviously doesn’t have a good relationship with his dad and they clearly don’t speak much at all. But my point still stands that it is not strange at all for someone not to speak to their dad for several days, or even a couple weeks when they live across the country from each other.

[@roems6396]

This was so funny but it was also genuinely crushing! I wish dan could have that relationship with his dad that he clearly wishes he had.

[@DriscolDevil]

He sounds like a flawed man that tried his best. Not trying to make defenses for him, but he sounds like someone that felt the need to be cruel because they were taught that fathers are supposed to be cruel.

[@ffeeley1]

I was really hoping this went on for an absurdly long time, with Dan thinking he has this renewed relationship with his father as seasons change. Then eventually after he finds out, he realizes "I haven't spoken to my dad in years!"

[@peterbrazeal7171]

It’s hard to truly find this level of sadness. I’m glad there is an outlet to listen and laugh about it but like, damn that one was a serious blow to your core being.

After this clip the audience and Brandon tell dan to actually talk to his dad haha 😅

[@dfassna]

He ended up texting his dad and if I remember correctly they texted back and forth a little bit but nothing really came of it. It kind of highlighted that the reason they don't have much of a relationship isn't just because of Dan because it fizzled out quickly since neither one of them was enthusiastic enough to keep the communication going.

[@TroutBoneless]

@@dfassna i believe that Colombian is correct, on another podcast there is an update to this story where dan texts his dad live, and there's no response before the podcast ends lol

[@tylermccrea9371]

This needs more views

[@8bitPikachu]

this would be a good movie, like a guy going through finally connecting to his father but it is a younger guy and then the younger dude in the movie's case would think he is connecting to some illegitimate child he never knew about only to realise it's the older guy. they meet up but they don't realise they have been talking to each other, instead they just think they're two different cases while waiting for someone else to show up. they keep doing this a few times until it clicks and they figure out they have been talking to each other the whole time. they get depressed, stop talking because it is weird and time goes by until they finally come to the conclusion that there odd friendship is more meaningful than ever connecting to that lost family they never had.
