Video: Special Unit’s Unit With Adam Devine

I have always been a big fan of the team at Funny Or Die and the following video does not change that.

Once again they bring the funny for a spot for Phillips Norelco “Click  and Style” campaign.

This one features Adam DeVine from Workaholics for those who are paying attention.

The video is promoting more features coming this fall on the Broxygen Network.

In the video, the Special Unit’s Unit patrols the streets to make sure guys are keeping their body hair under control. Be warned, a guy gets his crotch stuck on a fence.

The video is also an introduction to the Philips Norelco Click & Style razor, an electric razor designed to manscape a man’s entire body. More and more it is becoming trendy for guys to shave more than their face. That is what this ad is all about. Guys you need to manscape according to the Special Unit’s Unit.

The Best Of Like A Dad

While we are away enjoying the sun, sand and cottage life this week, I wanted to take a look back at some of the more popular posts on Like A Dad. Based on the numbers, people love their Big Green Egg.

Fresh content coming next week. The mind will be charged and ready to roll.

What the Rising Number of Single Dads Says About Fatherhood in General

While on vacation, I wanted to share other writings that are about dads. This article I found interesting as you tend to think of single parents as just the moms.

Is it a good or bad sign that the number is single dads is exploding? Would love to hear what you have to say.

 From The Atlantic

But single dads haven’t just increased in absolute numbers. They’ve also increased as a percentage of all single parents. Back in 1960, single dads made up only 14 percent of single-parent headed households. Today that number has climbed to 24 percent–almost a quarter. Men’s rights advocates would have you believe that feminism has systematically prevented men from gaining custody of children. Yet, according to this data at least, it seems like the (limited, but real) feminist gains of the last 50 years have actually coincided with greater parity. It’s hard to say whether this is correlation or causation, but either way, it looks like folks who want more men getting custody should be rooting for more feminism, not less.

Kids, Cottage And The Summer Vacation

Well we survived the hot weekend in Halifax. Whoa, that was steamy. That is the first time since I moved from Toronto where I could feel the air around me. We are all glad it is over.

It is great to see our baby sleeping again without a glaze all over his body.

It is cool and raining right now which is perfect. A day to cool off and a day to pack for the cottage.

We are leaving tomorrow for just under a week to have a giant family get together in Thousand Islands Park in New York State.

We went last year for a similar trip but that was with just one kid.

Now with the baby, it will be a whole other ball game.

Day 65: Halifax Bringing The Heat

The PL stands for Parental Leave, which I am currently doing for six months.

Well that was a hot day. Halifax welcomed summer yesterday after what seemed like a week of dismal rain. The temp in the house read in the high 20’s all day yesterday and that made for some uncomfortable moments. Now, my wife and I grew up in Southern Ontario, so  we know that yesterday’s weather was not that hot. Nova Scotia for the most part offers a breeze. In Toronto or most of SW Ontario, the air just sits there and feels thick and it gets into the low 40’s.

But our Maritime born kids were feeling the heat for sure. Harrison came home from school looking like he just had a shower. Our 9-month old slept like a blob of pudding as he tried to keep cool. But hey, that is summer right? I like the heat and for the most part NS is the perfect mix of hot days and cool nights.

Day 65 of parental leave must have been boring if all I have to talk about is the weather. Well, there was more.

Where Did The Last 9 Months Go?

Today, our little boy is 9-months old.

9months

Holy crap, where did the time go? It seems like only yesterday that we were bringing the smiley-faced guy home from the hospital.

Yep, today is the mark in his life where he has been out as long as he was in. Way to go bud.

Congrats to mom and dad as well, who like many others before us, has survived the first 9 months of our baby’s life.

Day 63: No Morning Nap Makes For Good Times

Hard to believe I have gone past the half way point on my parental leave. Where did the time go? Only three months to go before I have to go back to normal work. The long weekend was a good one and clearly it took a toll on my because today I had a case of tired parent brain. I can’t even remember how many dumb things I did today. A few examples would be forgetting Charlie’s bottle before dinner and going to take a leak and completely missing the toilet to start. Yes I did clean up. I also forget to get dressed until much later in the day. Why was it such a mess? Well the usual routine was thrown off my Mr. Charlie. Ah Day 63, you were a little messy, but good times none the less.
