...why are my hands all covered in goop?

Mike Walker 0:04
Well, here we go.

David Patrick 0:05
We are on already?

Mike Walker 0:08
Already. I'm Mike Walker.

David Patrick 0:09
I'm David Patrick. And we are

Mike Walker 0:12
pump-a-pum-a-pum!

David Patrick 0:12
"Dads on Books. "

Mike Walker 0:14
"Dads on Books. " "Our new podcast!"

David Patrick 0:18
"Dads on Books. "

Two minutes later.

David Patrick 0:20
I'm glad you caught the Duran Duran reference, I hope, or other than that.

Mike Walker 0:24
But that has nothing to do with the podcast that is about kids books.

David Patrick 0:28
Mike and I discovered that our daughters read a lot of books. And we read a lot of books growing up. And it's fun to read them with our children. But they also bring books that either one of us or neither of this is ever heard of before. And we discovered those books. And we thought, "Well, let's talk about them." Let's read them first and then talk about them!

Mike Walker 0:46
And sometimes--

David Patrick 0:47
We'll fix it in post.

Mike Walker 0:48
We'll fix it in post.

Wait, about musicals though. I went to a live musical last night with Monica.

Mike Walker 0:57
How nice. What'd you see?

David Patrick 0:58
Well, that's funny, you should ask, Mike. Didn't do much research, he's like, "Oh my gosh, is this the musical, the Book of Mormon?"

Mike Walker 1:06
The cover of the book is Mrs. McTats.

David Patrick 1:09
So you're the one that introduced this to Olivia Helps with Christmas. The mic falling into a beverage is always a fun thing.

Mike Walker 1:16
Obviously, I was not expecting that.

David Patrick 1:18
Yes.

Mike Walker 1:18
But then Noone expects the Spanish Inquisition. That was Eddie Murphy that came to America, right?

David Patrick 1:23
Yes!

Mike Walker 1:24
Lemonade!

David Patrick 1:25
We could tangentially go to when I first saw Eddie Murphy Raw in college. But we are dads on books. We're addicted to books, we sit on books, and we even talk about books.

Mike Walker 1:36
And sometimes we stop rambling about what's happening in our real life. And we actually have a great time talking about books.

David Patrick 1:44
The books can be anywhere from books for little kids to books for teenagers and everything in between.

Mike Walker 1:49
And two dads.

David Patrick 1:50
We are Dads.

Both 1:51
Dads on books, books, books, books.
