THT Studiosaudioboom.com
Welcome to Father Knows Something! Real People. Real Stories. Real Dad advice. Jerry is just a normal guy who has an abundance of life experience, kindness, quirkiness, and humor. If you're struggling with something, maybe his advice is just what you need. And if he can't maybe the millennials that join him, Morgan and Justin, can chime in to help. Jerry is not a licensed therapist, doctor, or life coach. He's just a 64 year old guy who knows some stuff (maybe?)
