Your Mom Is A Podcast · A Comedy Parenting Podcast

Playing Games with Jimmy Pardo and His Son

September 30, 2024·1 hr 14 min·10 clips

Sundeep and Milana frame the show as a place where comedians and actors talk plainly about parenting, about their own parents, and about trying to be better parents themselves. They greet each other with the relaxed familiarity of old friends, and the conversation settles quickly into family life and the ways parents and kids shape each other over time. The guest talks about a summer family miniature-golf tradition, and the hosts briefly riff on a pizza mention that was left out during editing. That kind of near-miss becomes part of the rhythm here. They tease it, then keep moving. The guest says he will give advice to almost anyone, and he notes that as his son gets older, his son comes to him more for advice. The hosts also bring up how hands-on he has been about protecting and guiding his son. He answers with the kind of open, off-the-cuff candor that keeps the conversation loose without losing its warmth. Near the end, the talk turns to a young person who is phone banking and seems likely to become a leader in six years, which gives the episode a note of optimism about the future. Throughout, the show keeps its conversational shape. It sounds like friends thinking out loud rather than delivering a polished lesson. The funniest moments come from ordinary details. The more reflective moments never harden into speeches. By the end, the episode turns a simple father-kid conversation into something broader about advice, responsibility, and the way families keep teaching each other how to be people. The humor is not decoration here. It is how the show makes the tender material easier to sit with.

A loose parenting conversation that lands humor beside family reflection.

This episode keeps returning to parenting from a few angles: what parents hand down, what kids absorb, and how a family stays honest enough to laugh at itself.
