Q&A

• What happened to Rhett on Father's Day that made him feel like a complete father failure?

  Rhett accidentally deleted all of his daughter's photos from the year while trying to help her fix her phone. He was initially panicked but was able to recover the photos and ultimately saved the day.

• What is the Huntington Library and Gardens, and why do Rhett and Link recommend it?

  The Huntington Library and Gardens is a cultural institution located in San Marino, California, known for its extensive library, art collections, and botanical gardens. Rhett and Link recommend it as a great place to visit, especially for dads who enjoy botanical gardens and learning about plants.

• What is over-dadding, and how does it relate to Rhett's experience?

  Over-dadding is a term used to describe a father who is overly involved in their children's lives, often to the point of being intrusive or controlling. Rhett's experience with his daughter's phone highlights the potential pitfalls of over-dadding, as he ended up causing more problems than he solved by trying to be a tech hero.

• What is the final frontier for dads, according to Rhett and Link?

  The final frontier for dads is learning to keep their thoughts to themselves. Rhett and Link argue that dads often have a lot of thoughts and observations that they feel compelled to share, but that it's important to learn to keep those thoughts to themselves in order to avoid over-dadding.

• What is the difference between a bad dad and a good dad, according to Rhett and Link?

  A bad dad is not engaged and doesn't care enough to say anything to their children. A good dad is invested, cares about their children, and wants to talk about the things they are realizing. The key is to find the right balance between being engaged and over-dadding.
