Hi everyone! Today’s episode is a real treat, with all of the uncertainty in the world right now, it is important to remember to not take life too serious, and today's episode is one that I hope can make you all laugh and smile as much as it did me. When I was at the Super Bowl earlier this year I sat down with 2 of the Co-Founders of BABE Wine, The Fat Jewish and David Oliver Cohen AKA Doc. During the interview Doc mentioned just how smart his 8 year old son Hal was, so I thought me and my 10 year old son Miles, should have a conversation with Doc and his son Hal. You are going to hear Doc discuss how BABE has been able to adjust during the pandemic, but most importantly you are going to hear Miles and Hal discuss some sports, what they want to do when they grow up, and what bad words kids should be allowed to say. This one is one of my favorite episodes of The Playbook yet, so please let me know if you enjoyed today’s episode and if you haven’t already checkout Doc and The Fat Jewish original episode of The Playbook.
