#18. The Unique Bond Between Father and Daughter, Bidets, And Why Your Dad Dying Means So Much (with Phil Zaroo)

Update: 2022-02-01

Description

For Episode 18, I sat down with Phil Zaroo, a close friend and one of my favorite people to talk to, mostly because we disagree a lot. He's a father of three, an ex-liberal, ex-journalist, hater of all things U of M, and bearer of brutal honesty. We've had countless yelling matches over the years about social and political issues, but in this fatherhood-focused conversation we keep it mostly civil. Phil offers some unconventional takes on parenting, shares the raw experience of losing a parent, breaks down the delusion of the archetypal U of M fan, riffs on the burgeoning bidet market, chokes up when talking about his daughters, and talks old-school discipline. Enjoy.
