Does anyone really want to see your kids’ poop photos on Facebook? Should you lie to your kids when they walk in on you uh…wrestling? What does it mean to “walk a mile in another table’s pants?”
Actually, we don’t know about that last one.
Still, tune into this particularly hilarious episode of Spawned, for the answers to all of your most pressing parenting questions thanks to our guest, UCB guy, comedian, actor (Inside Amy Schumer, 30 Rock), and dad Doug Moe, author of the brand new Man vs. Child: One Dad’s Guide to the Weirdness of Parenting.
The book has been lauded by the likes of Amy Poehler, Rob Corddry, Bobby Moynihan, and Michael Showalter — and us! In fact you can find it in our 2017 Father’s Day gift guide as one of the coolest gifts for new dads.
