In this episode of our GenX dad comedy series, “Books: The Only Entertainment That Makes You Read the Credits First,” we dive into the hilarious, honest, and emotional world of fatherhood, divorce, and raising kids in the digital age—through the lens of reading. We tackle the struggle of getting kids to put down the iPad, the impact of banned books on society, and the overlooked benefits (and a few drawbacks) of reading in a screen-obsessed world. Whether you're a divorced dad, a struggling parent, or someone trying to bridge the gap between generations, this episode offers laughs, real talk, and insight into why books still matter. Subscribe for more comedy, connection, and conversations dads aren’t having—but should be.
