Show notes

Talissa is handed a letter written in old-school cursive… and everything falls apart.
David challenges her to read a simple handwritten message, but Gen Z vs vintage handwriting turns out to be a serious struggle. What used to be normal everyday writing now looks like a secret code.
In this episode, Talissa tries to decode elegant, old-fashioned cursive while David slowly realizes just how different generations have become when it comes to reading and writing.
Turns out… typing might have ruined us. 😂

Gen Z Tries to Use a Phone Book Jan 31, 2026

Show notes

David hands Talissa a phone book and gives her one simple task: Find a business. That’s it.
But there’s a problem…
Talissa has never used a phone book before.
What should be a 30-second task turns into a full generational crisis as David gives hints, guidance, and increasingly obvious help while Talissa tries to figure out how this prehistoric technology works 😂
A classic moment of Gen Z vs. the analog world.

David Can’t Tell If This Gen Z Slang Is Real or Fake Jan 24, 2026

Show notes

Talissa flips the script and quizzes David on Gen Z slang — but there’s a catch.
Some of the terms are real… and some of them are completely made up.
David has to decide:
• Is it real Gen Z slang?
• And if it is, what does it even mean?
The results are chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly revealing — especially when David confidently defines slang that doesn’t exist 😭
Another generational showdown on the Daughter Issues Podcast.

Talissa Can’t Believe What This Classic Show Is About Jan 17, 2026

Show notes

Talissa has to guess an old-school TV show BEFORE she sees it… and David does an incredible job slowly feeding her clues.
She’s expecting something normal — maybe a bad teacher, maybe a good doctor — but then the truth comes out…
It’s a show about a HORSE.
And not just any horse — a talking horse. 😂
In this episode, we watch Talissa try to piece it together, react to the reveal, and dive into one of the most iconic classic TV shows ever: Mr. Ed.

They Thought Snowboarding Would Never Catch On Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

They thought it wouldn’t last.
They thought it was dangerous.
They thought snowboarding would die out.
In this episode, Dad shows his daughter a real news clip from the early days of snowboarding — when ski resorts were seriously debating banning snowboarders altogether. Commentators warned it was unsafe, reckless, and just a passing fad.
As a snowboarder herself, her reaction says it all.
From disbelief to laughter, this turns into a hilarious breakdown of how new subcultures get misunderstood — and how wrong people can be when something new challenges the status quo.

She Couldn’t Believe Who This Song Was By Jan 03, 2026

Show notes

She hears the song. She guesses the artist. She gets everything wrong. In this episode, Dad plays “Informer” by Snow for his daughter — without showing her who the artist is. She tries to guess where he’s from, what he looks like, and what he’s saying… then sees the music video.
From wild guesses to trying to read the lyrics out loud, this turns into one of our funniest reactions yet — and a great conversation about music, culture, and appreciation.
