Episode Synopsis

In this back-to-school parenting episode of World’s Greatest Dad, Ali and Neil share real-life stories about fatherhood, kids, and family life. Neil dives into the first day of French immersion kindergarten in New York City, his daughter starting second grade, and planning a creative board game birthday party, while Ali talks about raising an 8th grader in Austin, navigating middle school parenting, volleyball camps, and the milestone of giving his son his very first iPhone. Together, they discuss kids and technology, how parental controls really work, and what it means to let children explore texting and digital friendships. They also swap family travel stories from Paris and Mallorca to Japan and beyond, offering tips for traveling with kids, plus a surprising review of the Dave & Buster’s season pass. Along the way, the dads riff on pop culture from Breaking Bad and The Hunting Wives to K-Pop Demon Hunters and even the bizarre 1970s puppet show The Letter People. It’s a funny, relatable parenting podcast episode full of nostalgia, practical advice, and reminders to savor the little milestones whether it’s skee-ball, lasagna dinners, or late-night show binges.
