Everyone needs a hobby, it's how we grow and fuel our interests as human beings. Whether it's photography, woodworking, comics, music, bird-watching, or spelunking, having passion for a certain hobby just makes life more fun.

As parents, we want to pass on our love of certain hobbies, and teach our kids to find their own passions in life. For this episode, each of The Parentacons goes deep on a hobby of theirs. Sure, we're all big geeks and nerds, but did you know one of us owns a home that's more than a century old, and does most of the maintenance work himself? One of us is an amazing cook, and focused on how he can teach lessons about nutrition, culture, and heritage during cooking time with Daddy.

Most hobbies are solo activities, though, so for The Roundtable this episode we took at look at ways hobbies can bring people together, with a focus on LARPing (live action role-play), Renaissance fairs. Expect plenty of references great Paul Rudd/Sean William Scott movie Role Models, which of course is what we hope to be to our kids.
