Dad calls.

He narrates a description of every scene of the first 3 eps of the show Run.

Halfway thru 1st ep recap: “Dad, keep talking but I am unloading the dishwasher”

“Ugh, I ran the dishwasher 3 days ago but don’t feel like unloading it. The sink is overflowing w/ dishes.”
“Same — hence, unloading”

“Well does that mean *I* have to unload dishes while we talk or can I just smoke my pipe?”

“Just smoke the pipe. Otherwise it will be confusing.”

“Ok good... I think I’ve had laundry sitting in the dryer for two weeks. Anyway, so they go upstairs...
... in the hotel and that’s when they ‘get into the act.’”

Clearly spoken with air-quotes, I find this endearing when he used to let us watch completely inappropriate movies basically from birth. But he always had some funny explanation to explain sex.
“He’s just grieving.”

“That’s why they call him a barbarian, I guess.”

“Watch out for guys with long hair, girls.”

Etc
Somehow he transitions back from “the act” to discussing the gigantic sheep ranch in Idaho that he sent us lamb from.

“You know, they do really great weddings there!”

“Good, Dad, you can do your next wedding there!”

“No, I meant for you!”
We jab back and forth about who will get married first (newsflash: it will be dad, but I will lobby for him to do the wedding in a tacky casino wedding chapel in Jackpot, preferably dressed as Elvis, which is the wedding he used to threaten us with as kids)
