What will your kids remember most about you? It’s probably not what you think… 

Ever felt Father’s Day pressure - the gifts, the expectations, the hope it all comes together? In this episode, Justin & Kylie open up about low expectations, the best Father’s Day prank ever, and the moments that mattered most. From frisbee at the beach to chaotic family games, to the one phrase Justin’s kids say defined their childhood, this conversation is raw, funny, and surprisingly moving.

KEY POINTS:
Why one Aussie school pushed back against iPads in primary years
Sabrina Carpenter’s new album NOT for children
The tie prank that left every dad at church matching
Why simple, spontaneous family time beats curated “perfect” events
“Push Dad off the Bed” - the family game still loved by teens and young adults
The phrase Justin’s kids treasure most: People matter. Things don’t.
