This Week's Guest:

Ever tried explaining to your kid why a toy drone isn't a suitable substitute for a book at the school bookfair? You're not alone! Jeff Lewis joins us for an energetic romp through the trials and triumphs of modern parenting, where we swap tales ranging from the hilarious mayhem of school events to the sobering moments when we recognize the sacrifices made for our children's happiness. Along the way, we reflect on the simpler joys of our childhoods and how they stack up against today's tech-laden world, all while keeping the mood as light as an unauthorized drone in a library.

The internet's as omnipresent as the air we breathe, but does it always smell as sweet? We explore the digital landscape and its impact on family life, from the mirage of infinite choices to the rise of misinformation. A sprinkling of nostalgia for the days of less connectivity provides a poignant counterpoint to our discussion about AI and its potential role in personal relationships. Don't worry, though; amidst the serious stuff, there's plenty of banter and a few world record-worthy laughs to ensure you're not left contemplating the future with a furrowed brow.

Imagine a world where your child's bookfair haul includes a VR headset—the future is now! We muse over the quirks of aging in a tech-savvy era, touching on the bittersweet transition from cool parent to parental punchline. But fear not, we don't forget to tackle the thorny issues of today, from the evolution of humor standards to the bizarre new dating landscapes laid bare (quite literally) on reality TV. With a virtual lounge in the Metaverse on the horizon, our chat navigates the twists and turns of raising kids in a world where the only constant is change—and laughter.

Grab yourself a drink, and join us!
