Just one short question.
Hi guys,
many thanks for your previous help. I really appreciate that. Can you please take a look at the next short dialog? Context: Girl is inviting a guy to the concert....
Guy: Where am I gonna get 120 bucks for a ticket?
Girl : Just ask your dad.
Guy: Yeah, right. He says unless it involves me going to college or staying healthy, then I gotta earn it myself.
Girl: Your dad is such a tight-ass.
Guy: At least he cares what I'm doing. In his own screwed-up way, he's... he's actually pretty chill.
I'm not sure about the meaning of the red sentence, please what is he saying there? Even if my dad is over cautious, he's actually pretty cool?
thanks in advance for help and have a nice weekend guys!
Best Regards

Hi MrM,
thank you for answer. But I'm not sure whether I understood the meaning correctly from your explanation. Okay, could that sentence be paraphrased into this...?
In his own screwed-up way = Despite of his attitudes, which I don't agree with????
thanks again Mr.M
