About this listen

 In this snack-sized episode, Ophira Eisenberg reconnects with comedian, author, and How to Be a Better Human podcast host Chris Duffy for a rapid-fire chat covering the unexpected overlaps between parenting and comedy. Chris reflects on his years as a fifth-grade teacher, including a moment when a student earnestly asked—in front of the class—if having “huge balls” was a medical concern. The two swap stories about bedtime existentialism, the silent pressure of sleep training success, and the social minefields of modern parenting advice (including unsolicited high-fives from strangers about home births). Chris shares why he’s terrified his kid might become a hypebeast influencer, and admits he’s never called an Uber with his child for fear it might tank his 5-star rider rating. This mini-episode wraps with Chris’s pitch for a premium Uber Labor tier—and his confession that he still hasn’t recovered from laughing at a fourth grader’s joke about rejection checkboxes. 📍 July Shows are in NYC, Nantucket, MA, Aruba, Calgary, Alberta, Canmore, Alberta, Saratoga Springs, NY!
