Sh*t My Dad Says

Justin Halpern, a 29-year-old comedy writer, moved back in with his 73-year-old father Sam after a breakup. Sam is known for speaking bluntly, and Justin began recording his father's candid remarks. These quotes became the basis for a Twitter feed called "Shit My Dad Says," which gained over 500,000 followers in less than a month and attracted interest from media outlets, filmmakers, and celebrities. This book combines Sam's quotations with longer comedic essays. It explores the father-son relationship through Sam's unfiltered observations on topics ranging from everyday life to philosophy. The collection includes both the viral quotes from the Twitter feed and new material, offering fuller context and stories behind the one-liners. The book is written in the style of David Sedaris and Chelsea Handler, balancing humor with moments of genuine warmth and insight into the bond between Justin and his outspoken father.
