What this episode covers
Welcome back to **Hold My Baby**, the parenting podcast where we love our kids… but we also expect you to **put the iPad down, be present, and stop yelling “BE NICE” at comedians.** This episode starts with a classic parenting moment: You go to your kid’s school performance to support them… and instead you’re watching the entire show through someone else’s **giant glowing iPad screen** like it’s a drive-in movie from hell. From there, things spiral (as they should): * iPad parents recording ENTIRE performances no one will ever watch * Why your kid actually wants to see your face — not your device * Over-the-top empowerment speeches from strangers (relax, we got it) * Parenting messages that sound good… but make zero sense * Old comics who refuse to evolve (we said what we said) * Comedians being offered “vacation gigs” that actually COST money If you’ve ever sat behind someone recording a full performance and thought *“this is why society is collapsing”* — welcome home.
