What’s your story, Dad? Laughter, legacy, and life lessons from the girl dad playbook

In this heartfelt and hilarious Father’s Day special, Jaime sits down with her dad not just as co-hosts, but as father and daughter reflecting on nearly five decades of love, chaos, wisdom, and who actually controls the remote.

From vending machine Yoo-hoos after dance class to deep reflections on legacy, parenting, and personal growth, this episode is part roast, part love letter, and 100% real talk. Jaime’s dad shares his honest take on raising three daughters, what he wishes he knew earlier in life, and why he’s over Father’s Day (but still shows up with dad jokes).

Whether you’re a dad, have a dad, or just love stories with heart and humor, this episode will make you laugh, cry, and maybe call your old man.
