Welcome back to "Gray Hair & Daycare," where Gen X dads Frank and Carlo navigate the wild world of dad life! This week, after battling some technical glitches, the duo celebrates Frank's 56th birthday. As older dads , they bring a wealth of experience and humor in life to a serious topic in their "Book Report": an article on raising kids to "think like a genius" in the age of AI. They dive into a lively debate about the future of education and employment, offering up some genuine fatherhood advice as they consider what's best for their families.

Later, in the "Silver Fox Mailbox," Frank asks the community for the best baby advice and tips for baby-proofing a house that's currently a collection of "fencing foils" and "machetes"—a true testament to the chaos of being a dad! This leads to a discussion on parenting mistakes they've made and lessons they've learned, all while trying to apply a practical "genius" model to their kids' lives. They're basically their own parenting coach for each other! Tune in for some real talk and actionable fatherhood tips that prove you're never too old to learn when you're in the trenches of modern parenting.
