About this episode

This episode features a humorous discussion with two viral dads about parenting, dad jokes, and teen communication.

This week on Laugh Lines, we invited two of the funniest dads on the internet to join us. We interview Dave Ogleton ( @fitdadceo ) - the viral King of Dad Jokes and author of So Dad It’s Good . And we also talk to Chip Leighton (@ the_leighton_show ) - the viral creator behind those hilariously confusing teen text exchanges and author of Dad, Can You Not? Dave and Chip help us answer life’s biggest parenting questions. Questions like: Does every Dad start laughing before he tells a joke? Is cringe a love language? What time is noon? And can Penn survive a dad joke competition with a professional internet dad? (Results were… humbling.) We laugh our way through your Laugh Line teen texts, accidental family catchphrases (Nana Fell LOL) and the realization that every parent in America is apparently raising the exact same child. We also discuss why your teenager asking you dumb questions and rolling their eyes at your jokes might actually be their weird way of staying connected. This week is funny, painfully relatable, and hopefully makes you feel a little better about this whole parenting thing. (And please enjoy Penn's experimental "thunderpants" joke...) We love to hear from you…
