get that kid in front of a mic that’s a world class comedian right there
Ben Affleck says his 17 year-old roasted him for trying to give relationship advice “My kids are talking at dinner and they'll talk about their friends and the drama and the relationships, and I have some lived experience. I think that's worth sharing, some lessons...” “I was saying, you know, well, the thing about that relationship there with that person and the 17 year-old just turns to me and goes, ‘Oh, like you're the expert on relationships’” “I went to a bookstore with them... and there's some book by a French guy and it's called I'm Sorry for Everything, and my kid immediately just turns to me deadpan and goes, ‘Oh, look, Dad, it's your autobiography’”

That autobiography line had veteran-comic timing. Ben really raised his own heckler 😂

Also speaks to how comfortable his kids are with him tbh. To be comfortable enough with ur dad to make jokes about him is sweet lol.
