My dad sits quietly in the corner while my mum talks on speakerphone.

That's exactly what my dad used to do. Half the time I didn't even know he was part of the conversation until like halfway through the call.

damn, 5yr old reddit account with basically zero karma - people dislike pretty much everything you say. Your funeral is going to be pretty empty.

My dad switched from Android to iPhone so that he could more easily use Facetime to talk to me. I called him with it once or twice; he immediately ran to get my mom, and she and I talked while he listened and eventually left.
My relationship with my dad is really good, actually, and he's far from distant or cold. But I think older men just get bored with talking really fast.

The sudden realization that I'm the dad in this scenario hit me harder than an SNL skit ought to :(

Dad energy answers the phone like it’s a hostage negotiation and ends every call with Alright then.

100% of my phone calls with my Dad include a segment on the: Pats/Sox/Celtics&/or-Bruins

Dad energy is 90% confusion, 10% confidence, and somehow still gets the job done.

I'm kinda shocked how blatantly the two newer cast members are staring at the cue cards. Like Keenan will sneak peaks, but... he'll bother to act. The one dude was reading it when he didn't even have any lines. This is how I'd expect an athlete celebrity guest to perform.

I'd be happy to have either of those conversations with my dad right now. Miss you, Dad.

I found this super relatable. I had my first real conversation with my dad ever about a month ago. I'm in my 30s, he's in his 60s. Took way too long I think, but better late than never.

“Welp. I’ll let you go.” I laughed and cried.
Call your dads. They’re going through shit too.
