About this episode
In this Parenting is a Joke episode, Ophira Eisenberg revisits a fan-favorite conversation with comedian and long-time Late Night with Seth Meyers writer, Matt Goldich. Together, they dive into the hilarious chaos of balancing comedy careers, parenting two kids with wildly different personalities, and navigating the everyday absurdities of family life. Matt shares practical parenting advice, like why traveling with a baby is easier than you'd think, how he handles bedtime battles, and why he embraces being a "B-minus parent." Ophira recounts a funny exchange with her son about intelligence across life stages and reveals the comedic perks of being a stand-up mom. From summer camps and gender roles to karaoke favorites and surviving New York City parenting, this episode is packed with relatable humor and genuine insights. Plus, hear about Ophira and Matt’s upcoming co-headlining gig at QED in Astoria, where they mine the endless comedy gold of parenting.
