Best Country Songs for Your Parenting Day From Hell

Listen Later

In this episode the Dads get into every parent's nightmare: the Parenting Day From Hell. We came up with some songs to help you through these trying and exhausting times. These songs approach the Parenting Day From Hell in a variety of ways. Some describe how we are feeling at that moment. Others give us something to look forward to when the day is "over." We even have a couple of songs in this list that channel our inner HARDY and salute the day with his favorite offensive gesture.

  • Jason Kelce's Retirement
  • George Strait Christmas Albums
  • Professor Benjamin Bergen and the scientific research behind the middle finger
