Everything Fell Apart This Week | Here's What Happened

About this episode

In this episode, Beard Laws shares the chaotic realities of parenting and youth sports, highlighting both successes and challenges faced during a week in his life.

Add in a vacuum that needed what I can only describe as a “haircut,” a full moon destroying my sleep schedule, and the constant pressure of figuring out the future of my shows and creative work… and you’ve got a real snapshot of modern dad life. This episode of Stay Outta My Fridge blends humor, storytelling, and honest parenting…
