The holiday season is upon us, and feeling like a character in a Hallmark movie that’s not going to make it through the third act. Let’s rant.
We’ve got Thanksgiving dishes in the sink, Halloween tombstones still in the yard, and a tree decorated like glitter monster threw up in my living room. Good times. But you know what? Sometimes, you just have to go out in the yard, the alley, in a random field and scream at the stars. Tis the season. Yell at a Santa display. Scream at Baby Jesus in the manger to get through it.

Back to School is HERE... and here's the thing.. we're not old... but times have changed.. (I'm not a boomer)! But let's talk about the changes just in the last generation of school students.. the funny stuff. We'll take the nostalgic approach, personal anecdotes and reflections on our own school experiences, of course.
And remember, if you wanna look smart, wear a smart shirt.

Welcome back to GrownDadBusiness! It's been a wild ride this spring, and we've missed you all. I'm your host, and let me tell you, this episode is a laugh riot. We dive deep into the quirks of being on the road, especially those infamous speed traps between Pittsburgh and Ohio. Ever wondered why comedians know the best (or worst) places to avoid on your cross-country drive? Tune in and find out!

But that's not all. We get into the nitty-gritty of everyday life, from the hilarity of losing wedding rings in the most unexpected places to the never-ending quest for that elusive "summer bod." Spoiler: dads, we feel you. Whether it's chowing down on midnight snacks or dealing with yard work, we've got stories that will have you nodding in agreement and laughing out loud.

Our producer Sam, the man across the multiple rivers and treacherous freeways of Ohio, chimes in with his own tales, making this episode a perfect blend of humor and real talk. We tackle everything with our signature comedic twist—because who else is better at finding the funny in the mundane than us?
