The Father Hoods tap back in with another throwback, and this one’s got that creator-energy meets dad-energy vibe all the way through. DJ EFN, Manny Digital, and KGB kick it with Derek Lane, the mind behind “AJ From Oudder Space Town” - a kid’s book turned podcast, Audible series, AND animation.

Derek breaks down how the project came to life, the grind behind getting it published, and how turning imagination into content became a dope family mission. His son AJ shining with pride? That’s that real fatherhood flex. Summer project turned legacy moment.

The crew also digs into love languages with kids, breaking the old “dads don’t show emotion” stereotype, and how culture shapes the way we raise our kids. And when Manny tries to see if Derek’s going for kid number four? Nah! Family team is SET and the roster is locked!

Real fatherhood. Real creativity. Real love for the kids. This one hits.
