Let’s get real: there are a million great books out there. But sitting down and reading one? HA. That requires a magical window of silence, focus, and free time—which, if you’re a dad, doesn’t exist.
Enter audiobooks: the multitasking miracle. You get to dive into an epic space battle, solve a murder, or fall in love with a sarcastic AI while scrubbing dried mac & cheese off a car seat. That’s power.
đźš— 1. Driving (AKA: My Only Me-Time)
Commuting? Perfect.
Stuck in traffic? Even better.
Carpooling? Congrats, you’re now an audiobook missionary.
“Running errands”? Code for “I need 45 minutes alone with my space assassin book.”
Sometimes I even volunteer to do the grocery run. Sure, we end up with six bags of shredded cheese and no bread—but I finished two chapters, and that’s what matters.
🏋️‍♂️ 2. Working Out (Yes, It Counts If You Sweat Slightly)
At the gym, while the youths strut around with their protein shakers and biceps named Chad, I’m in the corner laughing at an intergalactic robot with daddy issues.
You might think everyone’s staring at you—sweaty, confused, snort-laughing on the rowing machine. They are. Own it.
🧽 3. Chores (The Real MVP of Listening Time)
Cleaning the garage?
Fixing the leaky sink your kids “definitely didn’t touch”?
Snaking a toilet clogged with paper towels someone swore wasn’t them?
All prime audiobook territory. You’re not just unclogging drains—you’re in a noir thriller set in post-apocalyptic New Jersey.
Pro tip: If you’re operating heavy machinery while listening to a high-stakes spy thriller, just…maybe slow down when near garden gnomes.
đź“ş 4. TV? What’s That?
Let’s be honest—I haven’t watched my shows in years. But Paw Patrol? I’ve seen it all. And trust me, the only pup carrying that show is Skye.
That’s why I’ve got an action hero in my ear while Chase fumbles through another rescue. My kids think I’m watching cartoons with them. I’m actually halfway through a murder investigation in Prague.
Laying in bed pretending not to hear your partner ask for help with the dishes? Narrator: He heard. He just didn’t respond.
Whether it’s five minutes of peace or a full-on escape from domestic chaos, there’s always time for an audiobook.
🔊 Final Thought From a Guy Who Once Pretended to Grocery Shop for an Hour
Audiobooks aren’t just stories—they’re survival tools. They turn chores into adventures, traffic into therapy, and Paw Patrol into background noise.So plug in, press play, and find your moment—because let’s face it, this might be the only thing you do for yourself today.
That’s right—Edge of Honor hits today. You already know Scot Harvath isn’t here to talk about his feelings. He’s here to wreck bad guys, make impossible decisions, and remind you that you will never be this cool.
![Insert a moody picture of Scot Harvath looking like he’s judging your cardio routine.]
👉 Go get it. Now. Because you’ve got laundry to do, and nothing pairs with folding socks like high-level covert violence.
Let’s talk about missing plot twists—because apparently, that’s a sin now.
Have you ever said, totally casually, that you were shocked by a plot twist? Maybe to a certain judgmental life partner who shall remain nameless? And instead of support, they gasped and said, “You didn’t see that coming?”
Well guess what? No, I didn’t. Because I’m out here solving real-life mysteries like “Why is the freezer humming?” and “What happens when your child eats a battery?”
This Is Your Audiobook Journey
You’re not listening to audiobooks as part of a literary salon. You’re doing it while unclogging toilets, avoiding small talk, or removing glass shards from the garbage disposal. (Side note: Shop Vac. Trust me.)
You’re grinding through life. Keeping people alive. Preventing small humans from licking electrical sockets. Your brain has other priorities—so if a plot twist sneaks up on you, that’s not a failure. That’s survival mode.
Plot Twist? What Plot Twist?
Did I see it coming? No. Should I have? Probably. But that’s between me, the narrator, and whatever emotionally damaged wizard just betrayed his own guild.
Also, let’s be honest—sometimes plot twists aren’t subtle. Sometimes it’s like getting hit in the head with a sexually repressed shovel. And you still miss it. Because you were thinking about the price of tires. Or if you left the garage open. Or that one weird noise the fridge made again.
That’s life, buddy. You’re doing your best.
You’re Not in a Book Club, and That’s Okay
Let’s be real—you’re not comparing plot predictions over mimosas. You’re lucky if your one best friend from college texts you back this decade. These audiobooks? They’re for you. They’re your reward. Your escape. Your one slice of peace in a day filled with snack crumbs and unresolved paperwork.
So if you see the twist coming? Awesome. If not? Who cares. No one’s keeping score.

Plug in the headphones. Press play. Miss the twist. And enjoy the ride—because spoiler alert: you deserve it.
