When 28-year-old Justin gets dumped, he moves back in with his blunt, blustery father Sam. As Justin tries to get his life back on track, Sam dispenses a steady stream of colorful, unsolicited advice - on dating, hygiene, and everything in between. Justin starts recording his dad's priceless one-liners, soon amassing a huge online following for his unfiltered father's outrageous commentary. This uproarious, tender memoir reveals the deep bond behind the Halperns' clashing personalities.
