What happens when you mix dad life with the trials of gaming, content creation, and staying relevant in this rapidly growing digital age? That's the question your hosts Bearded Nova and your other favorite dads aim to answer. We share our journeys, experiences, and yes, even our struggles as we navigate through the world of kids, careers, and content creation. We talk about the madness of social media and the misconception that dads are not as involved in their children's lives, all while tackling the realities of being a father in the 21st century.
Picture this: your kid comes home with a heap of homework that’s beyond your comprehension, thanks to the new era of technology-based assignments. This is not just a scenario but a reality for us and many parents. We examine the challenges of helping kids with their homework without being too hands-off or too strict. We also shed light on the generational differences in parenting styles, striving to strike a balance between encouraging academic success and allowing children to enjoy their childhood.
Ever imagined a high school classroom dedicated to eSports? We recently visited one and boy, was it an eye-opener! Join us as we share our thoughts on this trending topic, the opportunities it presents for students to learn about streaming, commentary, and team management, and how the over-40s community is jumping on the streaming bandwagon. We wrap things up with a candid conversation on our wild adventures as dads in these modern times, debunking the myth that women won't get our love for gaming. So, buckle up and join us on this exciting ride tomorrow for part two. Y'all be cool.

I'm from Australia and am what you would call a father who games. I have 5 kids so not as much time to game as I used to. But I still game and stream when I can. So come join me on Twitch in chat as we chill out.
