Daddy, Stop Talking! Audiobook Summary

The comedian, actor, television host, podcast king, and New York Times bestselling author of President Me, Not Taco Bell Material, and In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks now lays down the law on the plight of the modern parent.

Parents, do you often think that if your kids had to grow up the way you did–without iPads, 70-inch flatscreen TVs, American Girl dolls, and wifi in the climate controlled minivan–that they might actually be better off? Do you feel underappreciated or ignored? Do you worry you’re raising a bunch of spoiled softies who will never know how to do anything themselves–because you do everything for them? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need Daddy, Stop Talking.

Adam rips parenthood a new one, telling it straight about what adults must do if they don’t want to have to support their kids forever. Using his own crappy childhood as a cautionary tale, and touting the pitfalls of the kind of helicopter parenting so pervasive today, Daddy, Stop Talking is the only parenting book you should ever read. Here, too, is sage advice to Adam’s own kids–and to future parents–on what matters most: dating; drinking and drugs; buying your first house and car; puberty; and what kind of assholes his kids (and yours) should avoid becoming. Even if his own son and daughter pretty much ignore everything he says, you shouldn’t. And you’re welcome. Again.

My expectations for this one were low considering how fast Carolla has been pumping these out and how disappointed I was with his last one, 'President Me'. But this was fantastic from start to finish, with the jokes expertly crafted and coming hard just about every sentence. There were more laughs per page than a vintage 30 Rock episode. Besides being funny, the advice was practical, and it had just the right amount of heart sprinkled in. I feel like even the Carolla-haters out there would really enjoy this if they gave it a shot.

I like Adam Carolla and I loved this book.Short book on parenting and dealing with the changes in parenting since “we were kids”. The ingratitude, unreasonable expectations, wastefulness, etc.... it made me laugh out Loud multiple times today. I did get though this in a day, really enjoyed Adam’s brand of humor. Lots of cussing, but, so is me in the school pickup lane. I liked Adam and Dennis Prager’s college tour recently and I like his common sense pretty down the middle politics.

This book is very relevant for any parent raising kids. Adam is a comedian, actor, tv host and he has written other books. He more or less states what I have observed. In this new generation of children they cannot put down their devices long enough to look around and see there is a world out there. They are totally addicted to their gadgets. They are spoiled rotten by parents who are too busy to raise them. What we should be teaching them is social skills, educate them, and make rules for them to grow up right. These kids need to appreciate their parents and other people. His book has wonderful parenting advice on how to raise good kids who listen.

Not one of my typical books, but I had a free audio credit so I thought Why not? Carolla reminds me an awful lot of my own dad, so it was comfort to hear him rant and rave about his parenting experiences. The unexpected priceless gem of the whole book was the last little bit where he waxes philosophical about how we only get this one chance on Earth, so get it right. It was pretty inspiring. And a few belly laughs and an appreciation for my own hardworking husband were other good takeaways. Nice listen.

Typical Adam fare - nothing in this book is at all new material since I listen to his podcast pretty much daily, but man - there is something about seeing his rants on paper (or a nook screen, sue me) that is deeply satisfying.I'm surprised his typical "don't shit out kids that you can't afford" diatribe wasn't an entire chapter in this book - it seems like it would fit in well.Or maybe in the words of Santino "Sonny" Carolla, Adam decided that including it didn't move the needle and as such was "just a waste of my time" ;)

This is one of my new favorite books. Adam Carolla tells a very honest and funny account of parenthood...the ups the downs, the IVF, the differences in boys and girl...and everything else in between. This story reads as though Adam is sitting in front of you having a conversation. I highly recommend this to anyone, even if you don't have kids or your kids are grown you will find this light and funny.

Officially burnt out on Adam Carolla. Two books in a row is too much. Another fine addition to the collection. Unexpected heartwarming message to his kids at the end. But yeah, the usual. If he didn't make me laugh so, I'd disagree with him on nearly everything. He gets kind of political in this one. I can see if many get turned off. Then again, he's like Howard Stern. They have their audiences.

Very enjoyable and funny read from the continuing sardonic wit of Adam Carolla. Written as a 'guide' to his children and to other parents based on his experiences in life and as a father. Traditional values and wisdom delivered in a completely non-PC and typically irreverent fashion. Ninety percent of the book feels as if the author read my mind. Absolutely hilarious. Brilliant. Highly, highly recommended, particularly for those that enjoy this blend of values and wit.

I've never found Adam Carolla that funny on his show. He just seemed kinda annoying. BUT...I got this book at the library accidentally and got stuck on a long train ride with my sister. Instead of talking to her, I started reading this. And it was pretty funny. So I finished it and I"m glad I did. Sorry for all the mean stuff I said about you before, Adam. Loved your book.

I love Carolla's books. They're hilarious, truthful, and politically incorrect. The dude just says what he thinks, and I admire that in an author. I didn't relate to this one as much since I don't have kids, but I still enjoyed his random sidebars on the general state of society (crumbling, if you were wondering).

Great "Adult" book about family, respect, work, money and lots of laughing and shaking of my head with a huge smile. Remember kids and family need you. Put the iPhone/iPad/iPod down and get involved! Oh and listen to this book don't read it. Oh and if you get offend easily? This isn't for you. Corolla even went off on my Prince and I still laughed.

Adam has so many funny takes you'll find yourself laughing out loud reading this book. Most of all though he has a great way of providing a easy to understand blueprint for success and will inspire you to find happiness in your own life. Mr. Corolla does it again.

I absolutely love Adam's writing style. He speaks from the heart with a great sene of humor. You forget he is a comedian because of his down home wisdom. I have read several of his books and he is a wonderful author.

This book is hilarious. The correct way to experience it is to listen to an audiobook read by the author. Some should be warned about a little profanity, but it fits. Adam Carolla's life in his own words is a little profane here and there, but that gives it its proper voice.

Just finished Adam Carolla's Daddy, Stop Talking! I find this guys hysterical! This book is all about his 8 year old twins. He discusses topics like why children's books suck and things he wants to tell his future children's therapist. Laugh out loud funny. 4 of 5 stars
