Terror has a new name - and its name is Pinky Winky Time
I always felt bad when my dad had a big heart attack and was kind of on his way out.
I remember my siblings and I were trading duties, you know, sitting with them at the hospital.
And I remember my brother called me one night pretty late and said, and he was there with my dad and he's like, dad, dad keeps hallucinating.
He thinks he's in a movie and he keeps yelling action and cut.
And, and I'm trying to redirect him to reality, but he just, He just smirks at me like I'm trying to pull some kind of trick on him.
And anyway, during that stretch, one night, more than one time, he indicated to me that he was not a good father.
And it was kind of heartbreaking to me because My dad was a good dad.
He did the best he could.
He didn't have a dad.
So I just don't think he had a lot of examples of what a father should look like.
And fathers back then, it was just a different thing being a father.
The mother was kind of the protector.
The father was kind of the disciplinarian.
and meted out punishment and that kind of thing.
But anyway, that's really not the point of this particular pod.
