Summary

This week on Laugh Lines, we let a very special guest take the mic. Our 15-year-old son, PC Holderness! (And y’all… he did not disappoint.) PC came ready to host games and answer questions from parents on the Laugh Line, all with his signature optimism and cowboy hat… obviously. From prank calls and dial-up internet to egg babies and snap streaks, we put our generations head-to-head to find out who had it harder, “Gen X or Gen Z?”

We also take your hilarious voicemails and ask PC what Gen Z considers cringe: Is dancing with your hands in the air too much? What exactly does a 'pick me' mean? And is singing "Living On A Prayer" before the intro is over a crime? Big thanks to PC for joining us. He’s kind, thoughtful, and somehow manages to hype up Gen X moms while still defending his own generation’s challenges (hey, he knows who listens to these shows!) You do not want to miss this one—it’s proof that parenting a teenager can be fun, educational, and humbling all at the same time. We love to hear from you, leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at [email protected]. You can also watch our podcast on YouTube.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Delwyn, Collie Gerardazda Hayes.
0:02.2	And there are a few things that are always on my family's shopping list. Luckily, loads of them are now on rollback. That's right, Delwyn. We're rolling back a 900-mill carton of Tropicana orange juice from £3.7 to £2.26. And a 48 pack of Purcell non-bio washing capsules from £10.98 to £8 £8. Now that's good on its value. That's Asda Price.
0:02.1	Selected stores subject to available washing capsules from £10.98 to £8.98. Now that's good on its value. That's Asda price.

0:43.7	spend more than three hours a day online are twice as likely to have depression and anxiety?
0:48.9	Yeah, we are huge advocates for prioritizing mental health, and that includes monitoring the time that we and our kids
0:55.3	spend in front of devices. I personally keep my phone out of the bedroom at night so I don't
0:59.7	spend hours mindlessly scrolling rather than getting a good night's sleep. Here's the good news,
1:04.2	though. A company called Gab has solved that problem by doing something no one else is doing. Their
1:09.4	approach is tech and steps.
1:11.4	Tech and steps works by providing kids safe phones and watches tailored to every age,
1:16.2	offering the right device at the right time.
1:18.4	From GPS tracking enabled watches for young kids to increase features and parent-enabled apps on the phones for tweens and teens,
1:25.7	each device grows with your child.
1:28.0	Bottom line, you don't have to give your kids a device that was made for an adult.
