Episode 140
Friday, 8 May, 2026
Have you ever gotten a text from your kid that made you question, just for a second, whether you’re living in the same reality? Today we’re joined by Chip Leighton, a dad of two and the mastermind behind The Leighton Show, where Chip shares head-scratching texts from his teens and hilarious relationship observations that all parents can relate to. We dive into dad cringe, modern teen vernacular, and why “What time is noon?” might be a more common question than you think. Topics include: • The unexpected rise of Chip’s social media content centered around marriage and fatherhood with teenagers. • Balancing authenticity and humor while respecting children’s privacy and dignity online. • Chip’s evolution from a traditional corporate career to a creative, second chapter focused on writing and performing. • Exploring generational shifts in language, communication, and the “vernacular gap” between parents and kids. • Advice for parents and creators on navigating new media careers and diversified income streams. • And more! Stick to the end for a fun quiz on current teen/tween slang!
