Gen Z Tries to Use a Phone Book

About this episode

David challenges Talissa to use a phone book, leading to comedic generational misunderstandings.

David hands Talissa a phone book and gives her one simple task: Find a business. That’s it. But there’s a problem… Talissa has never used a phone book before. What should be a 30-second task turns into a full generational crisis as David gives hints, guidance, and increasingly obvious help while Talissa tries to figure out how this prehistoric technology works 😂 A classic moment of Gen Z vs. the analog world. ⸻ EP 77 — Daughter Issues Podcast Follow the chaos: 👨 David Smalley: @davidcsmalley 👧 Talissa Smalley: @talissasmalley_ 🌐 https://daughterpod.com 💸 Exclusive content: https://www.patreon.com/daughterissues If you enjoy dad & daughter reactions, cultural throwbacks, and unexpected reveals — subscribe for more.
