Alright folks, gather 'round the virtual campfire. If you’ve been riding along on this wild journey, you might remember the bold wager made last week — a challenge laced with sarcasm, ego, and a whole lot of facial hair. Yes, I’m talking about the now-infamous Beard Bet of ’25.

The setup? Simple. My daughter Natasha — known for her undefeated board game streak and savage sense of humor — laid down a digital gauntlet: hit 75K followers or the beard gets shaved. Brutal, right?
Now, one week has passed. Seven full days. And in true daughterly fashion, Natasha decided to remind me (several times, with dramatic sighs and Olympic-level eye rolls) that my progress was… and I quote, “glacial.”
“Dad, there’s just no way you’re going to make it,” she said, arms crossed like a smug Bond villain. “It’s going soooo slowly.”
Ouch. Right in the diesel-powered heart.
But here’s the thing, Natasha (and to all of you tuning in from the road, your breakroom, or the back booth of a greasy diner): I didn’t flinch. I didn’t fold. And most importantly... I didn’t shave.
The bet is over.
AND I WON.
The beard stays. 🧔🔥
Sure, the follower count didn’t exactly explode like a TikTok dance tutorial. But this challenge? This was never just about numbers. This was about commitment. It was about showing that sometimes, slow and steady (and a little scruffy) wins the race.
And guess what? I had an absolute blast. I met people from across the country. I reconnected with old friends. I made new ones through every comment, like, and DM. Some came for the beard… but they stayed for the stories.
It reminded me that social media isn’t just some app we waste time on — it can be a lifeline. A highway of connection. And while Natasha might’ve wanted to witness a dramatic shaving montage, what she got instead was a community of road warriors and misfits coming together around a man with a mission — and a beard built to last.
I’ve walked away from this challenge with more than just whiskers still intact. I’ve got momentum. I’ve got purpose.
And I’m ready for the next big bet.
(So bring it, Natasha.)
To everyone who supported me: thank you from the bottom of my bristly soul. You helped me prove a point — not just to my daughter, but to anyone who’s ever felt too old, too behind, or too “out of touch” to try something new.
The beard lives. The journey continues.
Let’s see where the road takes us next.
Stay safe, stay scruffy, and as always — keep the rubber side down.
