DDP 25: Homeward Bound
Do you ever miss your old life? As a divorced parent, do you ever just must being in your old house, working on home improvement projects? Being present all the time?
That's what we talk about in this episode. Sometimes you just wish you were homeward bound.
"I’m here. In stasis. It’s like sitting in purgatory. Waiting to go one way or the other. Like, am I going to get a house or am I going to live on the street? Tune in! Let’s find out…"
And this is a common refrain from Dan:
"I joke around about this now, when you tell someone they’d be better off without you, eventually they’re going to agree with you and they’ll be like, ‘Let’s try that.’ and that’s what happened. And now, a year out, it’s kind of like, well, yeah, fuck I was right. 100 percent.'”
Scott and Dan discuss this feeling, and Dan asks about the feeling when your ex's significant other ends up becoming a part of your kids' lives. Just, one day you have your life and the next day mom or dad introduces you to some person who all of a sudden is a part of your daily routine.
The show definitely is heavier than some of the previous episodes, but the Levy Bros. do end on a lighter topic, somehow comparing dating profiles to soup. And it works. So let's go with it.
Some quotes from the episode:
"Everything always processes through my brain. So when my brain is like, ‘no, dude, one plus one equals two,’ and you’re like, ‘but three is so much better.’ And it’s like, ‘no, one plus one equals two,’ and it’s like, ‘yeah, but can’t it be three for a little bit more?’"
"Music helps me get through my days."
“I cry myself from my ex’s house…I’d cry myself back home and maybe I’d cry myself when I got back into my house. And you know what? It felt good. It sucks, but it felt good to just let it out.”
“You didn’t want the Jewish kid going into fifth grade with a giant cross on his back.”
“We can keep teasing the pregnant lady.”
“I’ll tell you one thing, though…if you’re dating a pregnant woman, then you can’t get her pregnant. There’s some logic to that.”
“I go back to the grocery store [analogy]. Don’t get mad at the 4000 items you don’t want. Get mad at the store for not putting your items in a more accessible place.”
