Chapter 3: What social hobbies does Ashton suggest for his dad?
Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are? I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do. Listen to Deep Cover, The Family Man on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Time for part three of our new recurring non-FCC approved segment. Our technical director, Ashton, is back home with his parents.
Chapter 4: Why does Ashton think his dad's hobby choices are lonely?
Hit the music.
Well, Ashton's back, a grown man you see. He's back with his family. With flaming red hair and a mighty life. What a shame! He's broke and he's home with a grin on his face. He's Ashton, the man. Yeah, Ashton, the man.
If you could see Ashton jam into his own theme song. It never gets old. It really doesn't. If you're new to the show or to this segment, Ashton is in his late 20s right now. He's our technical director, and he made the bold choice to give up the glamorous solo life, crushing tons of random tale every night, and move back to the love nest where he was created. That's right.
And Ashton, it's my understanding that you've been there for almost an entire month now, and you noticed something just being around your folks lately. What was it? Well, I kind of think they're bored. I gotta be honest. Bored with you? I mean, like, their hobbies.
Chapter 5: What are the proposed activities Ashton brings up during the meeting?
Like, my dad's current hobby, like, he reupholsters the same chair, like, every day. What's wrong with that? Well, I don't know. It's kind of lonely. It's not super social. I don't know. I just wish there was more social activities that he could do. You guys used to play pickleball together. Maybe take that back up.
Or you just bring a bunch of dudes over and you all reupholster the chair at the same time. That could be fun. But I get you want more for them. And during Ashton's latest family meeting, he brought up some proposed social hobbies that he thinks his dad could explore. That's helpful. You let them straight up know you thought they're boring. Let's see how it goes. All right.
So first off, we got darts. Found a local dart club nearby. I'm not so sure about that. Darts. Yeah. Why? Well, I'm assuming it's going to be in a pool hall, right? You know, I don't know. I just don't feel like I'm going to be real good at darts. Why? You're an athletic guy. You're good with your hands, right? You got upholstered chairs.
Chapter 6: How does Ashton's mom react to the hobby suggestions?
Maybe I have good hand-eye coordination. Yeah, solid hand-eye coordination, decent forearms. I think you could be okay. Okay. Maybe. I'll put that in a maybe column. Is Ashton interviewing himself? Yes. You see did you hear how flattered his dad was when you told him that he had nice for Weird to admire your dad's forearms Living rent-free in your dad's head right now. Also.
Did your dad reference pool halls? Yeah Your whole neighborhood is living in the 1940s I feel like your dad hasn't been out since the 80s. Honestly, that's an accurate observation. Next thing you're going to tell me to go to the skating rink. Yeah, let's go to the sock hop together. But anyway, let's get back to the list. Apparently there's more options.
We'll see if Ashton's dad likes some of the other hobby ideas. Okay, so another thing.
Chapter 7: What humorous associations does Ashton make about bridge and his past?
Magic. I think you give off a real magician, you know, kids magician vibe. Maybe on the creepy side of things, maybe. I don't know if I'm going to be doing too many kid shows. I think I've come across as slightly creepy. Creepy adjacent. Mom, any feedback on any of these hobbies I suggested? Yeah, I don't think the magic. No? No, no. You don't like magic? No, I do not care for magic.
Is your mom scared of magic? Is she like, you do a card trick, and she's like, that's the devil's work. That sounds like it. Yeah, she might. Las Vegas is her absolute worst nightmare. Magicians and darts and pool halls everywhere. Yeah, Criss Angel more like Criss Devil.
We're in the middle of a special segment following our technical director, Ashton, now that he's been living at home with his parents for about a month, playing audio from their weekly family meetings where Ashton is trying to help them find some new social hobbies that they can get into.
Chapter 8: What conclusions does Ashton draw from the family meeting?
So now it's mom's turn to hear some hobby ideas. Let's get into it. Okay. Bridge. Bridge. I know you play Pinochle with your parents, so this could be another card game that you can master. Maybe down the road. Okay, maybe. Why? Well, I might find that I might like it. No, I'm going to say no. I'm going to say, because if you're joining it, then that means I have to join it.
Why don't you want to join? Well, because I remember my eighth grade math teacher. That's what she used to play. And I know I'm just... Going back on memories of her and her open-toed sandals that she wore every day. Did not have the feet for it, but I'm associating open-toed sandals, ugly feet to bridge. That's what I... You can see how I'm getting from A to B, right? I couldn't.
Dude, I followed. I 100% followed. As soon as you said bridge, the first thing your mom thought was, I'm not that old. Bridge sounds like a game for an 80-plus-year-old. And now you're conjuring up repressed memories from your father's childhood with his old math teacher. So I don't know if that was really the goal. You found out he's not a feet guy. No. Yeah. I guess that's a plus.
Or he's super a feet guy because he's like, oh, you do not have the feet for those girls. I can point you in the right direction. And sorry to point this out, but isn't Pinochle? That's like a super old game. It's a card game. I know. Yeah. That's not an innuendo? No. It's like bridge. Oh, okay. A race, never mind.
Well, I guess overall, it sounds like you've got a bunch of maybes for their new potential hobbies. Yeah, but you didn't come up with very good ideas. I'm just saying. Wow, okay. You want to give me a list, Brooke? I could come up with something better. I don't know. Make sure you tune in next week when Ashton gets caught in the shower again for way too long. And we will have the audio.
Your phone tap is coming up right after this.
