Dad 0:00

Hey, Nora

Norah 0:01

Hello father,

Dad 0:03

father, So formal. Jeez. Hello daughter. Of, what topic are we conversing about today on the old D time podcast

Norah 0:15

we're talking about Facebook drama.

Dad 0:18

dumped on. Welcome to the Nora and dad show. I am the aforementioned dad, otherwise father, the formal father. otherwise known as John and I am here with the formal daughter, otherwise known as.

Norah 0:48

Nora.

Dad 0:49

That's where you say your name,

Norah 0:50

I said, Nora,

Dad 0:52

That was the cue where you say your name. Um, so you want to talk, so you want, so you want to talk about Facebook drama, which I find unusual since you don't have Facebook, because Facebook is supremely uncool for. The teens these days. So what, yes. They can't see your face, but I can. And the noses, the nose is all scrunched up. You look like you just smelled a big old too. It's just,

Norah 1:21

yeah. Why would you say it like that? You, I don't know.

Dad 1:25

that's, what your face looked like? You look like when Lula or Dante farts. That's the.

Norah 1:30

Thank you for the lovely description.

Dad 1:32

So what Facebook drama do you want to talk about since you're not on Facebook,

Norah 1:38

well, our Dell element has a lovely little, uh,, Facebook page. I'm not gonna say the name of it because I don't want to give out our address. Um,

Dad 1:49

you very much.

Norah 1:50

but it's, it's just the name of our development Facebook page, and there's quite a bit of drama on it and I hear about it quite frequently. And. Mr. Mr. Father Hyman here tends to be a big offender of the drama.

Dad 2:03

I've been banned by your mom. Your mom has kindly suggested because I'm a little bit of a poop star, or I can be that, I, refrain from posting on our development Facebook page because. Have a tendency to get under people's skin. And, I have to live here. I don't want to have to move. And so for the sake of

Norah 2:29

The rest of us.

Dad 2:31

for the sake of The rest of us. in our house, not getting egged or people, not making comments about us as we walk by with the dogs, I've been asked and I've agreed to stay off, which I do. But go ahead.

Norah 2:43

there's one story I want you to you've let all the other discussions I'm leading the ones.

Dad 2:49

Go

Norah 2:49

like I'm doing a direct examination. So, during, uh, COVID I asked her still on COVID, but during like the first lockdown that we had, our lovely development wanted to host a parade. So father, what were your thoughts on that?

Dad 3:06

We need to like go back in time to March of 2020 when the world was in utter chaos. COVID had just started as a thing. We were still. Wiping down groceries that we got delivered from Instacart, cause nobody was going into stores or I wasn't going into stores. And we were still taking the Lysol wipes and wiping down the bags of groceries and, uh, and the, and the items that were coming out of the bags. Um, we weren't going anywhere. Nobody knew like every, you were, I think on spring, you're on spring break at the time, but we already knew.

Norah 3:44

got an extra week.

Dad 3:46

Yeah, you got an extra week. of spring break and we knew you weren't go back to school and back to school for, for the end, for the end of the school year. And so my point is it was utter chaos with a lot of like a lot of unknowns. And in the midst of all of this, someone in the development had the brilliant idea of having an Easter parade, which was going to involve the Easter bunny walking down the street. Not the really Easter bionic, cause we don't have that much pull here. It was somebody in a mangy Easter bunny costume was going to walk down the middle of the street greet the kids and then give them like either toss or hand them bags of candy. The stay at home order was in place the governor had said no mass gatherings, no large-scale events, all that. And so I said in light of everything, that's going on. The governor's orders, the uncertainty, whatever. It might not be the best idea for us to hold this large-scale community event and that we should consider not having the Easter parade, people lost their freaking minds.

Norah 4:50

neighborhood.

Dad 4:52

I was, the neighborhood villain. I heard a lot of what about the children? They're expecting the Easter bunny? One neighbor accused me of being anti-yeast or cause I'm Jewish, which half of that is true Jewish, but You guys aren't. And so, I'm, certainly not anti Easter Um, the parade I do, the parade ultimately didn't happen because I messaged the mayor and he shut it down.

Norah 5:17

cause we, uh, we have, a connection with the mayor.

Dad 5:20

Yeah, we, yeah, we rolled large like that in Our house. We know people who know people,

Norah 5:24

Our nanny is the niece of the or

Dad 5:27

Yeah, fair family friend the mayors or uncle. The point is, is that that's not the point. The point

Norah 5:33

What do you mean

Dad 5:34

Lost their minds. I mean, one guy basically said like, you're the Jew that ruined Easter.

Norah 5:38

that that was what it was.

Dad 5:40

that that's, that's what it was. I will tell you though, not the first time I've ruined a Christian home.

Norah 5:45

I don't know. The other one.

Dad 5:48

When I was when I was, in fourth grade. I grew up in a very Jewish neighborhood there weren't a lot of Christians like around me. we had one Christian family that lived behind us, and they had. One kid that was, I think he was a year younger than me. And we were outside playing, and he made a comment about something he wanted and that Santa was going to bring it for him. And I said, you're, you know, that Santa is like, Santa is not real. Right. And he, yeah. And he ran home crying. Yeah, I totally

Norah 6:20

Oh, this reminds me of when you and mom, how many years ago this wasn't don't remember, you. Paul Donovan at the Easter bunny was not real. And he broke down in tears, sobbing that you had lied to him his entire life, and that he was never going to trust you guys ever again.

Dad 6:40

We did, we did tell him that.

Norah 6:41

the next day, Easter landed on April fools and you guys told them it was just an April fools

Dad 6:49

Yeah, that was a

Norah 6:49

he still believes in the Easter bunny.

Dad 6:52

think we were planning on doing Easter baskets that year. And I ran out to CVS because we decided to do them to make it up to Donovan and, I was out at CVS on that Saturday night scrounging, like the Easter leftovers. Yeah. So the Jew who ruins Easter, the Jew who ruins Christmas, I'll tell you one more thing about the kid who I, I busted up Santa Claus for his, um, his. Dad, was like the neighborhood fun. parents. And when I think back about it now it's really creepy because his basement was like a giant game room.

Norah 7:27

That's

Dad 7:27

had a pin. Yeah. He had a pinball machine. They were the first house in the neighborhood to have an Atari 2,600. So they had all the video games in their basement, but he wouldn't be the one that, that would invite all the kids over and then we would all, and then him and all the neighborhood kids would sit in his basement and like play video games together.

Norah 7:46

oh,

Dad 7:48

Yeah.

Norah 7:49

wait, who was the, who was it there? I might be making this up first. There was another creepy dude that you like, just like realized recently from your childhood.

Dad 7:58

I don't know.

Norah 8:00

grandma told me that.

Dad 8:01

I don't know. Maybe it's just me. I don't know.

Norah 8:03

and like a van or something. I don't know. Maybe I may, I think I'm making it up.

Dad 8:07

know why. I mean, we had the guy that came and painted our, house when I was 13 and had a van full of porno magazines that he just, yeah, he, yeah,

Norah 8:16

we had our, we had

Dad 8:17

paint, he painted a mean wall, but he was a dirty man.

Norah 8:20

we had our creepy, um, housecleaner that one time.

Dad 8:25

Uh, yeah. Who made comments about.

Norah 8:28

My body.

Dad 8:28

Your body. in a very, in a very,

Norah 8:32

inappropriate manner.

Dad 8:33

Inappropriate and Yeah, we had to fire her. I can't be having people in my home making comments about my kid's body. That's not acceptable in any way, in any way, shape or form.

Norah 8:44

she was a interesting woman.

Dad 8:46

She was an interesting woman. Yeah. And she didn't clean that well either. So

Norah 8:50

No, she always put, she is the one that ripped something off of the wall or is that somebody

Dad 8:53

No, that was someone else? And I just to make it clearer as I think back to what I just said, even if she cleaned really well, I would have fired her anyway. Cause I can't. I was like, well, sorry, nor she, I mean, she's down on her hands and knees scrubbing the floor. So look, if she wants to make a comment about United, you just got to put up with a kiddo. I, she would have, she would have, she would've, she would've gotten fired anyway, so yeah. So apparently now the world knows that your dad has a holiday, right?

Norah 9:19

Yep.

Dad 9:20

Ah, all right, well, Nora thank you for exposing me and it, my apparent hatred for the Easter bunny for the world to hear. I really appreciate it. If people want to find you out on the socials, my dear, where should they go? Look.
