Short, tall, big or skinny, it doesn't matter the size or shape every bearded gent has to admit that they love their facial hair. Your facial hair can be a mark of great honor or the fodder of many family dinner dis sessions. Either way, whether others love it or hate it, you still hold fast to those whiskers.

In honor of all of our bearded dads (and if you're like me, Paul, a wanna be bearded dad), we've brought on the national expert in beard-dom, Mr. Beardsmith. That's right, we search the inter-webs to find the most reliable source on all things beards and dad life. Since that person wasn't available, we asked Ryan Smith to join the podcast. Just joking Ryan.

Mr. Beardsmith, Ryan, shares with us the joys and challenges of being a bearded dad. From scaring kids to allowing his beard to be the test ground for his daughter's stylist aspirations. Ryan also shares some tips on how to move from just have a thing on your face to have a beard that will bring out jealousy among the un-bearded, respect among the bearded and swooning among the ladies.

After you listen, you'll want to take advantage of Ryan's special 15% off offer to all of our Random Dads. Now, through the end of 2017, listeners can use code BESTDAD to save %15 off their entire order from my website.

Jacob and Paul get the random families together. We got to meet the twins, share a meal and talk life. It was really a great time.

In this episode, we share some of that time. We also catch you up on some of those home improvement projects. But the best part of the episode is talking about the real struggles of dad life. The long days and short nights with more work to do than can ever get done.

This episode of RDP is jam packed with nutritious dad life. So sit back and enjoy a cold one.

What do dad's love more than quality time with there kids? The chance to play with gadgets and big boy toys!

If you don't agree with that, you have to agree that there are some toys and gadgets that you enjoy. It may be woodworking like Paul. Or you might geek out on a quality Dr. Who toy like Jacob. Either way, if you release stress by goofing off with a big boy toy or techie thing then we've got you covered this episode.

This week is a blast from the past. Jacob and Paul jump back to the 80's with "The Fall Guy", a local video stores and VHS tapes. All this rumaging around in the past leads to a discussion of how we go about screen time with our kids.

Being a dad today means that you have to monitor and create rules for screen time. Whether you're relaxed and open about screen time or rigid with the rules, you will find a point of view for you in this episode.

After listening, let us know what you do with screen time for your kids in the comments.

 

He's whimsical and a delight in person. Get him on the job site and he's nothing but business. Or so we think...

This week Jacob gets a chance to chat with Kevin O'connor of This Old House. Jacob and Kevin will get into family life and talk a little shop since Jacob is fixing up a 100 year plus old house.

Sit back and enjoy as Kevin weaves masterful tales and delights all of us Random Dads.

Let's say you have 30 minutes to sit down and talk with a super geek dad who hacks work, life and parenting with ninja like precision and awesomeness. Would you take the time?

Well here at #RandomDads we would and we did. Paul chats with the infamous Adam Spriggs of SprignatureMoves.com to talk about the life of empty nesting for dads. First, Adam puts the random in random dad. From his odd interest in cats to his freakish skills with coding, Adam has many interests that seem completely random. Second, Adam shares how he and his wife transitioned one of their children to college and now are working to transition a second. In the midst, they work at their relationship, begin to experience moments of empty nesting, and plan for the future when more free time opens them up to a new life together.

In perfect Adam fashion, he not only shares about his transition into new found domestic freedom but also how his family operates. One of the benefits is how his family solved the long held family dispute to that painful evening question, "What's for dinner?" Adam shares his super, ninja hack (starts at 29:44) to that question.

So grab a cup a Crema.Co's latest and sit back for a tasty earful of random dadness from SprignatureMoves!

Well this is it #RandomDads This episode we're taking you behind the curtain and letting you in on why Jacob and Paul are so messed up. It's because both of them were raised free range style. That's right. Those wild kids you hated grew up and the results....we'll leave that judgment up to you.

Now these two Random Dads have to decide, along with their spouses, what they are going to do with their kids. To be free rangers or to be helicopters, those seem like the extremes, which is where Random Dads like to take things. Listen in for a little bit of parenting joy and a whole lot of "how not to do it" advice.
