🔟 Top 10 Favorite Things — Dale Doback

I'm Dale Doback, I'm 40, and these are my things. Most of them are in my room, and you're not allowed in my room. If you touch any of this I will go ape-shit, you hear me?

1. 1

   My drum set

   There's one rule in this house: never, ever touch my drum set.

   John Stamos

   If I were a chick, he's the one guy, no question.

   Industrial-strength night-vision goggles

   Imagine if we'd had these at 12; even better, we got them at 40.

🔟 Top 10 Moments Living at My Dad's House — Dale Doback

This was my dad's house before Nancy and her son moved in, and I'm the biological one. It started with a fight over my drums and ended with us playing the Catalina Wine Mixer. Here's the whole damn saga.

1. 1

   Dad marrying Nancy

   Robert's a racquetball-playing coin collector and he deserved a win.

2. 2

   Keeping my office drum set

   I wasn't giving up my drum room, so Brennan had to share my bedroom.

3. 3

   The first big fight

   Brennan put his nut sack on my drum set, we brawled, and Dad made us fix the f'n drywall.

4. 4

   Punching Derek

   He was being a douche, and it made Brennan see me in a whole new way.

5. 5

   Building bunk beds

   We asked permission, Dad said we were adults, and suddenly there were so many activities we could do.

6. 6

   The bunk beds crashing down

   Worth it.

7. 7

   Sleepwalking together

   Brennan puts Nancy's purse in the freezer; I've got the couch pillows in the oven.

8. 8

   Shooting the Boats 'N Hoes video on The Gilded Lady

   Prestige Worldwide's first production; Dad's boat did not survive.

9. 9

   Dad hanging The Gilded Lady in the Christmas tree

10. 10

    Dad telling us to play the Mixer

    I got on the drums, Brennan sang and Dad finally believed in us.
