### Occupation

Tom is a YouTuber and good friend of Nathan Barnatt. He hosts the show Conspiracy ASMR and is a co-host on the Beyond Worlds YouTube channel with Chris. He also streams and plays games with Nathan on their channel Super House.

## Early Dad Interactions

**Spoiler Warning!**

**Below contains spoilers for**
Act II, Act III

When Nathan first started posting strange Dad-related videos in early 2019, Tom showed concern about how Nathan has been acting. He has said that he is in contact with Carl concerning documents about the truth and is assisting in the ongoing investigation.

On June 1, 2019, Tom hosted a birthday stream in which he receives a gift from Dad- a tomato plant and a can of FOOD. When he eats the FOOD, he starts saying things like "FOOD is good", "Dad is good," and "I love Dad." Tom also starts interacting with Dad on Dad's Discord days later.

On June 10, 2019, Tom's likeness appeared in Dad's Life in "True Value" as the character Crothers. There was a theory that Tom somehow became Crothers after eating the FOOD on his birthday stream. However, Carl later pointed out on Discord that Tom seems to have gotten some kind of off-brand FOOD, and currently it is widely accepted that he and Crothers are different people in Dad's Life.

## Talking Dad

On their Beyond Worlds channel, Tom and Chris host Talking Dad, a "Talking Dead" style show discussing Dad's Life. Dad often makes appearances in the chat and leaves riddles for hosts, guests, and viewers to figure out. It has included guests like Inside A Mind. Its first episode streamed on July 5, 2020, and there are currently 11 episodes.

## Livestreams

Tom has done many livestreams that are relevant to Dad and Dad's Life. One of the first was on October 9, 2019. Tom went live with Andan Livestream in which Tom picks Andan up and they get food together. This is the first appearance of Durk Squell. On a second livestream on November 3, 2019, Tom finds a piece of paper that he thinks is from Andan with coordinates to the Bradbury Building, which was previously seen in Dad Feels Good For One Hour. Tom finds Dad there, but when Tom attempts to confront him, a Client escorts Tom out.

Another important stream occurred on September 1 and September 2, 2019, in which Dad appeared while Tom was on the Queen Mary, a supposedly haunted boat. A highlights reel was released later, and this is apparently where Dad first met Maeve. There are many more livestreams in which Tom and Dad interact, with varying levels of seriousness. These streams often reveal mysterious messages and clues about upcoming events in Dad's Life, either by Dad or Tom himself.
