"He Forgot the Ashes": The Most Chaotic Dad Story We've Ever Heard

"He Forgot the Ashes": The Most Chaotic Dad Story We've Ever Heard

About this episode

The episode discusses various chaotic stories involving dads and their forgetfulness during significant family events.

A viral video of a dad walking down the aisle alone at his daughter's wedding without her opened the floodgates. Ricki's own dad sat down in the front row at her Paris wedding and forgot he was supposed to walk her down the aisle. Listeners called in and it only got worse: a dad drove to his daughter's graduation without her, a grandad came home from the park with one of two grandkids and didn't notice, a dad of 22 years still can't spell his daughter's name, and one dad arrived at his wife's funeral without the ashes. Never put a dad in charge of anything. This is the conclusion. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
