1KHO 432: Did Grandma Have Kids? The Hilarious Truth About Parenting Teens | Chip Leighton, What Time is Noon?

Parenting teenagers is a wild ride, and Chip Leighton has turned the journey into comedy gold. In this laugh-out-loud episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Leighton—author of What Time is Noon? and creator of The Leighton Show—to unpack the unintentionally hilarious and completely baffling text messages teens send their parents. From absurd food-related questions to the universal struggle of deciphering teenage logic, Leighton shares how his viral social media presence and new book capture the quirks of modern parenting.

But beneath the humor lies a deeper truth—these texts reflect the unique, evolving relationship between parents and their teens. Leighton and Yurich discuss the delicate balance of maintaining open communication, the importance of laughter in family life, and how social media has fundamentally changed the way young people interact with their parents. Whether you’ve ever received an urgent text about "where wild dogs get their nails clipped" or just need a good chuckle, this episode is a must-listen for parents everywhere.'
