This week Brat Pack royalty, actor, director and author of the new book, “Walking with Sam, A Father, a Son, and 500 Miles Across Spain” Andrew McCarthy joins Megan, Chris & Kurt. They love their kids…BUT they truly do ruin your life in the best way. From toddler defiance to teenage indifference, the gang opens up about the warp speed circle of parenting life. One day you’re simply trying to get shoes on your kid and get them out the door and in the blink of an eye they’re using Snapchat to help you navigate through the streets of Spain and barking at you to keep up! But McCarthy is here for all of it… even the poop breaks in the wilderness, questionable hygiene, and bedtime routines that take years off your life. Plus the hosts answer their first ever listener (or should we say But-Head?) Voicemail!
