Please Don't Call Me
Hosted by Trent & Alex · EN
Welcome to Please Don’t Call Me, the podcast where every episode should have been a phone call. Here I finally get my phone call-phobic dad to have a chat—no ringtone, no awkward silences, just real conversations! Each episode, we dive into both useless and useful information, laughs, and plenty of unexpected moments that come from our father-daughter chats. Whether you’re here for the dad jokes, the life lessons, or just a break from your own phone, we’re glad to have you along for the ride.
Hit play, and let’s get talking… without the call!
