“This book is ridiculously hilarious, and makes my father look like a normal member of society.”
Chelsea Handler, comedian, New York Times bestselling author
After being dumped by his longtime girlfriend, twenty-eight-year-old Justin Halpern found himself living at home with his seventy-three-year-old dad. Sam Halpern, who is ""like Socrates, but angrier, and with worse hair,"" has never minced words, and when Justin moved back home, he began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him:
""That woman was sexy… . Out of your league? Son, let women figure out why they won't screw you. Don't do it for them.""
""Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking.""
""The worst thing you can be is a liar… . Okay, fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but then number two is liar. Nazi one, liar two.""
Almost two million people now follow Mr. Halpern's philosophical musings on Twitter, and in this book, his son weaves a brilliantly funny, touching coming-of-age memoir around the best of his quotes. An all-American story that unfolds on the Little League field, in Denny's, during excruciating family road trips, and, most frequently, in the Halperns' kitchen over bowls of Grape-Nuts, Sh*t My Dad Says is a chaotic, hilarious, true portrait of a father-son relationship from a major new comic voice.

I somehow missed this when it came out, but remembered all the hype, and it pretty much lived up to it. The narrator was a little over zealous at times, but delivered the hilarity with good timing. I definitely laughed out loud numerous times. My only complaint is that it became a little tedious after long bouts of listening, as it's less of a story, and more of a kind of list. Take it in short sessions, and laugh!
