Teenager Talk: How to Connect with Your Big, Sweaty Teenage Angel
Don and Kelly shout out Brady, Laura, and Barbara (hi!), then dive into the art of bonding with a teenage boy—starting with the slang of the week: “I know ball.”
From late-night chats (because teen brains wake up at sundown) to the magical power of shutting up and listening, they trade real wins and fails: rating days 1–10, letting silence do the work, finding shared lanes (music, chess, yard work… sometimes), and not faking interest in the stuff you truly don’t care about (looking at you, Brawl Stars).
They unpack the amygdala vs. prefrontal cortex tug-of-war, why non-judgmental phrases help, when expectations hurt, and the underrated intimacy of an ER trip after a baseball-to-the-elbow.
Plus: the recurring segments—But First (slang), But Now (word association), and Last Butt (Loved / Want to Love). Parenting a teen is chaotic, hairy, hilarious—and totally doable. Tune in and, ahem, know ball.
