Well lying seems to work just fine for the American government.. I mean they lied to you about WMDs, you went and killed more than a million of Iraqi civilians over a lie.. And.. nothing... you didn’t punish those who lied in any way.. Then obama came and lied to you about EVERYTHING!! Got a Nobel peace prize and then authorized more drone strikes (which killed thousands and thousands of innocent people) than any president before him.. And.. nothing... And now biden is lying to you about the state of your economy, about Ukraine, Russia, China, Taiwan.. And you are not doing anything about it... That’s coz your whole American society is built on lies.. Even your history is a lie - I mean you call your nation “the land of the free”, yet it’s a nation of slave owners which was built on the occupied land of native Americans, through oppression and genocide of the natives.. Americans/Anglo saxons are the most despicable people on planet Earth - yet you constantly talk (lie) about the spread of “democracy and freedom” (through invasion, bombing, oppression and occupation) 🤷♂️
That is truly one of the best responses that I could ever imagine to a problem like that - it’s better than the analogy of “taking back words that were spoken is like trying to get tooth paste back into the tube” but fello ole Gen-X dad added a moral lesson with it - that is some damn good parenting right there !
You are so lucky to have a dad like that in your life. Society would not be in the shape that it is in today if everyone had a dad like that. Keep up these vids because eventually his advice will become viral and society will finally turn for the better. Well done, son
Wow great analogy. Telling the truth will always be the best way to go, even if it is extremely hard to do or embarrassing as hell. You will never have to recant the truth.
Never lie Even if it sucks at least it is the truth and you live with it 💯...deal with it and move on...when you lie you break a trust 💯 Your dad is right ✅ 💯
Salute to the general!!! Giving A+ advice always!!! America loves yall keep making this content please alot of us need it more than you think. Much appreciated 🙏
WHERE I COME FROM A MAN IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS WORD! I LIVE BY THIS MANTRA! SOME OF US ITS ALL WE REALLY HAVE SO WE TAKE IT VERY SERIOUS WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT! KID HEED YOUR OL MAN'S INSTUCTION AND GUIDANCE AS IF IT IS WORDS TO LIVE BY! SOME OF US ARE NOT BLESSED WITH THE GURU OF A DAD THAT YOU HAVE! CONSIDER & COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS YOUNG BUCK YOU ARE AN EXTREMELY FORTUNATE YOUNG MAN!
The ONLY thing we have in life that we have full control of is our word. Say what you mean, mean what you say. Always show honesty, integrity and respect, if that is what you want from who your dealing with. You got this ZEO, and there is a whole bunch of us here that will stand behind you. Your growing into the man your dad has been raising. You should be proud of yourself mate. Cya soon.
I know you hear how great your dad is ALL the time, from EVERYbody ... This little slice of YOUR honesty and willingness to seek good advice screams how blessed your DAD is to have YOU as his son and how blessed WE are by YOU being in this world w/us. Thank you! 💞
Son your dad is a amazing man and sometime he can be had on you but he does it for a reason. Listen to him his love for you will always be there. Genx sir I wish every dad was like you I believe your son really get it. Thank for being there for him.👍✌️🇺🇸
Tell one lie, and as you said, you forget the whole lie and than you have to tell another lie and another. Oh, what a web we weave when at first we attempt to deceive.
and THIS is a prime example of WHY I subscribe ... well done Dad! I can see he got the message about telling lies....just don't and life is a lot less stressful.
So true... very good advice..many years ago when I was a kid I played up a bit, a family friend saw what I was doing, pulled me to one side and said to me. Why are you doing this? Don't make waves, because you never know those waves might meet up and bounce right back, we all make little ripples and little waves hitting you is no big deal but one day a tsunami size one will come thundering back at you and it will be your doing... think about it... and he walked off. I never forgot that.
My mother is a very wise person. She told me when I was very young. "If you just tell the truth there's a lot less to remember" Don't know why that one stuck with me, but it did.
First...Gen Z (?) kid, thank you for having the courage to share something embarrassing with the world. I mean that sincerely. Second... Once again, your dad is right. I'm a Boomer. Had a lot of ups and downs in my life. When I was your age, I made a lot of mistakes... including many lies. I spent many years correcting my mistakes the best that I could. These past 20 years, I have been able to hold my head up and be just a tiny bit proud of the man that I finally became. HOWEVER, just recently, a lie that I told someone when I was a young teenager in 1980... that I had completely forgotten about...raised it's head out of the darkness. Thankfully that person that I lied to all those years ago, decided to accept my heartfelt apology this past week. And we are able to move on, with that "scrap of paper" (as your dad put it) getting picked up. Lies, regardless of the intention of why the lie occurred, will have a butterfly effect on your entire life... until the day that you die. So do your best to not lie.
That one brought a tear to my eyes. I love you guys and extremely thankful that y’all do what you do and that I found it. Life lessons in the daily my man! Sending all love to the whole family, from good ol Tennessee ❤
Your dad is a very wise man and you're fortunate to have him. I was about your age when I discovered how wise my father really was. I'm now 66 years old and I still live by some of the advice he gave me.
Im 45 years old and thats the best thing ive heard. Im gunna use that same analogy to teach my boy why not to lie! Your old man is an absolute LEGEND! He should run for president!
@@DarthWogga Hater? Troll? 🤣 The man doesn't need to become "President" That's not hate nor being a troll. The fact every time someone says something you like must mean they need to be President is just cringe and needs to stop.

Continue digging instead of getting right back on track? WOW 😳 Just Wow.
Honesty is the best policy was the phrase used at one point. Interestingly enough, lies can really hurt no matter in what context. Your dads explanation is Great!😇
Your dad is a real one homie.. He isn't wrong and if we fuck up sometimes we can fuck ourselves forever cause that lie you put out gets around and you'll be asked about it later in life so many times, most things soon forgiven but never forgotten. Leave a positive image on the world and better than the way you found it. Love the videos with you guys, much love.
Man, I wish my Dad cared about me like yours does. Wish I knew how to make him care. Be thankful for your Dad, and thank him and cherish him while you've got him!
Damn, man, I wish there was some way that I could make your dad care. When I read that part, it made me feel not good. I didn't see it coming and it kinda struck me.
I'm sorry you and your Dad don't get along well. That's a heavy feeling. Maybe if you concentrate on those that do care about you, a feeling will arise just as heavy on the good side of things. As humans, we tend to dwell on what we don't have. If we keep in mind what we do have, and the good people and things in our lives, only then can we value the good over the bad. You might find (and I hope you do) the good outweighs anything bad. We can only control our own behavior...not others. Peace to you.
Try to remember some of us didn't have fathers and don't know what to do. The simple fact that you have a child doesn't mean you magically become a mature thoughtful person instantly. I was the same 21 year old kid the day after my daughter was born that I was the day before. I did my best but I was clueless. I was too hard on her, too easy on my second and close to right on my third. And above all keep this in mind. All the issues that seems so huge to you right now will seem petty when he's gone and you can no longer talk to him about then. I'd also suggest to anyone who's got issues with their father listen to Larry Elder's story about his father or read his book.
@@younowhythatis6381 I'll ask you the same question I asked a friend of mine who resented his father. Are you a good person? If so then your dad did something right. Consider that before you overcompensate with your own kids. Also take a look at the behavior of some of the kids we have running around today. The same kids who claim if you really care about a cause you're willing to commit violence in it's name also never received physical punishment growing up. What does that tell you? That they were raised feeling like they weren't important enough to their parents to be properly disciplined when they needed it. Parents who cared more about how they felt than doing their jobs. Parents who wanted to be friends instead of parents. Somethings are too important to hope that reasoning with a child will prevent them from doing it. I received one spanking from my father as a child and it was for sticking a knife in an electrical socket. It hurt him deeply to do it but it was necessary because my life depended on it. It was better that I fear a spanking for doing it than hope that I understood that electricity would kill me, IF I even understood the concept of death. How many of those kids did something that could've killed them or ruined their lives and their parents didn't take appropriate action to insure they didn't do it again. How many got caught driving intoxicated only to have their parents give them some minor punishment and in the name of trusting them allow them to continue to drive, when the truth was they couldn't be burdened with driving the kid everywhere? How many saw through the lie and knew their parents didn't love them enough to be bothered? So no! Don't be the dad you always wanted. Be yourself. Be what comes naturally then you won't have to think "How did I 'FFEL' when my dad did or didn't do this or that". Besides your kid isn't you, isn't living in the same conditions or era.
Everyone has told a lie that affected people. Just know your dad is right. Just keep doing you and strive to be better. It will all work it's way out in the end. Be grateful your dad is such a wise man! I'm Gen x also
That was the best analogy I've heard on the topic of lying. I teach Sunday school and I'm totally going to use that pearl o' wisdom the next time we have a lesson about telling the truth vs telling a lie
Your dad's generation is shortly after mine and the wisdom from our time comes from our father's. Each generation you go back was built out of hard labor and knowledge of ( blood sweat and tears) nothing came easy. Your father's wisdom is a product of having someone who cared enough to allow him to experience The School of Hard Knocks. You don't need to touch the stove twice to know it's hot! To think before you act!!! That anything you do follows you the rest of your life!!!
My Dad is my rock!!! Not that I didn't love my mom(God rest her soul) but my Dad was the one that really tried to teach me, make me a good human, and was there for me mentally, emotionally, and I never doubted for 1 minute that he loves me!! My mom was a damn shrew to him, but even when she was actively passing away, even as mean as she was to him, he was there for me the entire time, taking me for drives to calm me down, and just hold my hand and let me cry! He had no love for, for good reason, but he knew I was hurting, knew what I was going through, and was supportive of me the whole damn time!! My dad is truly my hero!!! And your Dad is just as amazing!! Cherish both of your parents, because once their gone, their gone, and it's a truly soul sucking experience to lose a parent, frfr!!!
Pops stays on point and reminds me so much of my own. My pops taught me to think everything out before you do it, actions once carried out can't be taken back. All you can do is own up to it & hopefully learn from your experience so you don't do it again.
Well kid, you have a gem of a dad for sure. Always remember that. I think just about all of us who follow you and your dad KNOW that the banter between you two, is just that. Banter. When it matters, he's there. Whether the camera is on or not.
I'm glad you put this video out. I can tell you this... it doesn't paint you in a bad light, quite the opposite. Everyone lies at some point, but most will never seek advice to correct it or care enough to even try. You, however... you cared enough to ask your Dad, and you got wise words and one of life's many lessons in response. All of these lessons you learn, they become the stones that create a solid foundation your adult life will be built upon. The more lessons, i.e. the more wisdom collected, the stronger the foundation! You and your Dad are both awesome, I watch every video I find. You're on a good path, and your family has your back! Hell, so do we... all of your YT family!
That is the smartest way to look at it. Your dad is an amazing man. And if he ever travels to Australia, then let me know. Will buy him a few rounds of whatever he drinks.
That's a tough one. Definitely a live and learn situation. Lies also blasts trust to pieces and it may never be repaired. Your dad really gave you great advice. We all mess up and time will help.
The music Pops listens to in the background is perfect for nearly every video (some would think it's editied in, it's that good in the context of the video). Indeed life does go on. No one is perfect and we all F' up from time to time. The key to being a F' up is picking yourself up, dusting yourself on and keep on keeping on the straight and narrow. God Bless Gen X Fam!
Thank you for sharing this with us. It's good for us to see your dad in this light as well. Shows that he's not always cussing you (something I personally don't think you should do with young adults-it's counter productive) and telling you to go away! lol. Believe me, as a mom of 2 women in their mid and late 20's and a band booster for 6 years I know you kids can make us Gen Xers NVTS (ask your dad what that means)!!
Gen X Dad definitely comes across to me as one of the most legit stand up guys this country has to offer. Great teaching moment for people with children.
Yup, great analogy. I'm going to show this to my 6yo. I'm 40 and man, is it ever tough raising a kid these days! I'm a gen x raised by boomers and I say "kids these days" and "what has the world come to" more often than not. My son is gonna have a hope in hell because the older generation lives through me just like you have your dad, thank god. You're a great kid who has a hope in hell! I love your channel!
Sending this to my granddaughter because as much ad I like to think I can get through to her with my wisdom, this wisdom is the best! Thanks for posting this and I pray it helped you, helps my granddaughter, and many many others.
Such a great life lesson, no matter what take the lesson and move on, just don't forget it and the lesson that was learned... there's no going back, take the responsibility and keep going...
Young man, my dad is on his death bed working on his last breath right now as I leave this message. If my father was capable of parenting in a similar way your father did, I would be at his bed side instead of at work getting fatherly advise from your father via youtube. As a parent myself as well as Pa-Pa to a 5 year old, I look forward to moments like the you and your dad share and truly soak them in when they arrive. Even thru turmoil we have we have the option to exhibit how we were raised either through violence or compassion, you sir are doing right. I see the compassion in your eyes and look forward to enjoying future videos, thank you this helped me.
Bad ass. Speaking for myself, I really do appreciate the sincere and respectful advice. There is no better way to impart actual solid wisdom, you knocked that right out the park.
Thanks for sharing this bub. I pray this video gets seen by millions of people and they actually listen to what your pops just said. Keep your head up, it'll get better. Hopefully sooner than later.👍
That's great advise dad. It's a learning experience for the kid as well. People are easy to judge you for one mistake instead of focusing all the good things you do instead. Hope all is well and mom's home safe and sound. Love you all. 💖💖🌹💋
Good stuff and sage advice--Your dad is a legend for explaining the consequences calmly, rationally and without spoken judgement but you could see some disappointment in his eyes. Work hard to pick up those pieces and be a better man going forward, my friend--THAT is what his eyes were telling me.
Broke my phone, so I haven't been seeing your vids. Decided to binge your channel on my laptop today. All I gotta say.... This is prolly one of the most important video you've ever made. This is the change we need in the world, the change that starts at home. Also, You're very lucky you have the father you do. don't take him for granted.
You've got a great dad!!! Cherish that and learn everything you can from him!!! He really loves you and wants to teach you right, that's the only reason he's hard on you and yells! He knows that life is hard and he's trying to save you alot of trouble in the future. Keep putting out the good content. Others that don't have a dad like yours learn from him too❤️
You just grew about an inch there young MAN!! That was a very big moment in your life an I think you handled it well and gives me more hope for our youth. Keep growing up and your gonna make Dad proud of you. P.S. I think he already thought 😉
This is something close to what my dad taught me. He also broke me from stealing. He caught me when I stole a toy I really wanted. He also made me take it back and tell them I took it. Now at the age of 43.... I can't even think about taking a free pin without asking.
Lies do have a habit of coming back and biting ya on the arse, it's never a good idea to tell a lie because it always catches up on you. Liars need to have very good memories because sometime or other someone will bring it to question even if it's a year or two down the line. Your Dad is a sensible man.
Your Dad loves you. I can hear the subtle softness in his voice when he knows you're being serious, or when something really affects him. I wish my son would listen to me like you listen to him. It's hard to watch him make almost the exact same mistakes I made (that almost destroyed me), try to offer advice, and have it thrown back in my face. I see people saying how you should be grateful and heed his advice all the time in the comments. As a father that has tried to do the same for my millennial son PLEASE pay attention to him. He will save you so much trouble and heartache from doing the wrong things.
My boy, you are a "Chip off the old block!" Give it time! You are going to be the man that you seek to become because he is providing invaluable life guidance! (Your dad reminds me so much of my Dad!). Trudge on trubador and trust, whilist questioning everything! The only thing I ever took at face value was from my Dad. Everything else I questioned, and it has hereby, made me a better man at my young age of 53! P.S.- (Meeting the two of you is on my bucket list!)
Your dad is awesome and he would be an excellent friend. This is how I see it in short,, when you never tell a lie, no matter how small, you live your true life.
Great lesson in life. Dad has given you the tools.. maybe not to fix it, but to make sure you’ll never have to go thru it again. Saying you were wrong doesn’t make a man weak, it shows how strong you are to admit it. Maybe it will help someone else from making that mistake in the first place. All the best
Kid you’re lucky to have a wise man in your life that you can grow and learn from . Priceless and here’s the greatest part of it all. When the time comes and you’re his age and you’re missing him you can always look back and watch these videos of him that you have made and you’ll see how wise he is. You’re so lucky to have him in your life you both have a wonderful relationship with each other and he’s someone you can mirror yourself after
One of the best fathers I've ever seen. You're VERY lucky kiddo...
That was the best analogy I've heard in a long time. The fact he came up with that on the spot was extremely impressive.
Wow. Agreed. Totally impressed by that analogy
What if he just wrote them all down, and memorized them for rainy days though? Next level >: ]
Well lying seems to work just fine for the American government..

Your dad speaks truth! When you love someone, you always tell them the truth!
Your Dad is a man with great integrity and wisdom. Our word is all we have. Honesty is always the best policy even when the truth hurts. ♥
Lying is a lesson we've all had to learn from.
I would rather have common sense than a PHD.
Well, you can have both. It’s not like someone has to pick one or the other.
You are so lucky to have a dad like that in your life. Society would not be in the shape that it is in today if everyone had a dad like that. Keep up these vids because eventually his advice will become viral and society will finally turn for the better. Well done, son

Keep listening to your dad kid he won't steer you wrong and you just learned a lesson don't lie it's not worth it
Lies change over time and are to hard to remember. The truth never changes, no matter what distance or time frame we travel.
Tell one lie, and as you said, you forget the whole lie and than you have to tell another lie and another.

Consider that before you overcompensate with your own kids. Also take a look at the behavior of some of the kids we have running around today. The same kids who claim if you really care about a cause you're willing to commit violence in it's name also never received physical punishment growing up. What does that tell you? That they were raised feeling like they weren't important enough to their parents to be properly disciplined when they needed it. Parents who cared more about how they felt than doing their jobs. Parents who wanted to be friends instead of parents. Somethings are too important to hope that reasoning with a child will prevent them from doing it. I received one spanking from my father as a child and it was for sticking a knife in an electrical socket. It hurt him deeply to do it but it was necessary because my life depended on it. It was better that I fear a spanking for doing it than hope that I understood that electricity would kill me, IF I even understood the concept of death. How many of those kids did something that could've killed them or ruined their lives and their parents didn't take appropriate action to insure they didn't do it again. How many got caught driving intoxicated only to have their parents give them some minor punishment and in the name of trusting them allow them to continue to drive, when the truth was they couldn't be burdened with driving the kid everywhere? How many saw through the lie and knew their parents didn't love them enough to be bothered?
So no! Don't be the dad you always wanted. Be yourself. Be what comes naturally then you won't have to think "How did I 'FFEL' when my dad did or didn't do this or that". Besides your kid isn't you, isn't living in the same conditions or era.
Everyone has told a lie that affected people. Just know your dad is right. Just keep doing you and strive to be better. It will all work it's way out in the end. Be grateful your dad is such a wise man! I'm Gen x also
That was the best analogy I've heard on the topic of lying.
I teach Sunday school and I'm totally going to use that pearl o' wisdom the next time we have a lesson about telling the truth vs telling a lie
Life is full of a million things you have no control over. Your health, wealth, relationships, on and on. But, You can always be truthful.
Your dad's generation is shortly after mine and the wisdom from our time comes from our father's. Each generation you go back was built out of hard labor and knowledge of ( blood sweat and tears) nothing came easy. Your father's wisdom is a product of having someone who cared enough to allow him to experience The School of Hard Knocks. You don't need to touch the stove twice to know it's hot! To think before you act!!! That anything you do follows you the rest of your life!!!
You’re blessed to have such a wise dad.
My Dad is my rock!!! Not that I didn't love my mom(God rest her soul) but my Dad was the one that really tried to teach me, make me a good human, and was there for me mentally, emotionally, and I never doubted for 1 minute that he loves me!! My mom was a damn shrew to him, but even when she was actively passing away, even as mean as she was to him, he was there for me the entire time, taking me for drives to calm me down, and just hold my hand and let me cry! He had no love for, for good reason, but he knew I was hurting, knew what I was going through, and was supportive of me the whole damn time!! My dad is truly my hero!!! And your Dad is just as amazing!! Cherish both of your parents, because once their gone, their gone, and it's a truly soul sucking experience to lose a parent, frfr!!!
I do not believe I have ever heard that analogy before but spot on and how far it will go is something not many people think about or would care.
Pops stays on point and reminds me so much of my own.
My pops taught me to think everything out before you do it, actions once carried out can't be taken back. All you can do is own up to it & hopefully learn from your experience so you don't do it again.
This should be played for any teenager who is lying constantly.
Well kid, you have a gem of a dad for sure. Always remember that. I think just about all of us who follow you and your dad KNOW that the banter between you two, is just that. Banter. When it matters, he's there. Whether the camera is on or not.
Wise father you captured a great lesson from him on that day.
Damn. That's some good advice. Proud of both of you.
I'm glad you put this video out. I can tell you this... it doesn't paint you in a bad light, quite the opposite. Everyone lies at some point, but most will never seek advice to correct it or care enough to even try. You, however... you cared enough to ask your Dad, and you got wise words and one of life's many lessons in response. All of these lessons you learn, they become the stones that create a solid foundation your adult life will be built upon. The more lessons, i.e. the more wisdom collected, the stronger the foundation! You and your Dad are both awesome, I watch every video I find. You're on a good path, and your family has your back! Hell, so do we... all of your YT family!
That is the smartest way to look at it. Your dad is an amazing man. And if he ever travels to Australia, then let me know. Will buy him a few rounds of whatever he drinks.
You're a great kid, and everyone makes mistakes :) You are on the right path for sure, and kudos to you Dad !!!! Stay real young man.
That was a great analogy! I'm a GenX'er & I'll be passing along your advice to share with my 12 yr. old granddaughter.
Thank you
The way he described a lie is spot on! Your very lucky to have a dad like the dad you have enjoy every second of it 💯
That's a tough one. Definitely a live and learn situation. Lies also blasts trust to pieces and it may never be repaired. Your dad really gave you great advice. We all mess up and time will help.
The music Pops listens to in the background is perfect for nearly every video (some would think it's editied in, it's that good in the context of the video). Indeed life does go on. No one is perfect and we all F' up from time to time. The key to being a F' up is picking yourself up, dusting yourself on and keep on keeping on the straight and narrow. God Bless Gen X Fam!
It's not the mistakes we make that define us. It is how we take accountability and correct the mistakes we have made.
Unfortunately he'd never make it in government politics, but he would be the finest of leaders in morals and ethics. 👍. Respect, sir.
Good thing the politicians don't seem to know about paper trails.
Dad may be harsh but it’s obvious he loves you, he gives great advice!❤
You can never remember a lie, but you can always remember the truth
Wow this was cool. Thanks dad. Great advice. 33 learning new things everyday
Thank you for sharing this with us. It's good for us to see your dad in this light as well. Shows that he's not always cussing you (something I personally don't think you should do with young adults-it's counter productive) and telling you to go away! lol. Believe me, as a mom of 2 women in their mid and late 20's and a band booster for 6 years I know you kids can make us Gen Xers NVTS (ask your dad what that means)!!
Gen X Dad definitely comes across to me as one of the most legit stand up guys this country has to offer. Great teaching moment for people with children.
Yup, great analogy. I'm going to show this to my 6yo. I'm 40 and man, is it ever tough raising a kid these days! I'm a gen x raised by boomers and I say "kids these days" and "what has the world come to" more often than not. My son is gonna have a hope in hell because the older generation lives through me just like you have your dad, thank god. You're a great kid who has a hope in hell! I love your channel!
Sending this to my granddaughter because as much ad I like to think I can get through to her with my wisdom, this wisdom is the best! Thanks for posting this and I pray it helped you, helps my granddaughter, and many many others.
truer words have never been spoken, that analogy can be used for a lot of things in life.
Such a great life lesson, no matter what take the lesson and move on, just don't forget it and the lesson that was learned... there's no going back, take the responsibility and keep going...
Young man, my dad is on his death bed working on his last breath right now as I leave this message. If my father was capable of parenting in a similar way your father did, I would be at his bed side instead of at work getting fatherly advise from your father via youtube. As a parent myself as well as Pa-Pa to a 5 year old, I look forward to moments like the you and your dad share and truly soak them in when they arrive. Even thru turmoil we have we have the option to exhibit how we were raised either through violence or compassion, you sir are doing right. I see the compassion in your eyes and look forward to enjoying future videos, thank you this helped me.
Kid…. Your Dad.. The General… IS A MAGNIFICENT MAN. Treasure Him. 👍🏻❤️🇺🇸
Bad ass.
Speaking for myself, I really do appreciate the sincere and respectful advice. There is no better way to impart actual solid wisdom, you knocked that right out the park.
Thanks for sharing this bub. I pray this video gets seen by millions of people and they actually listen to what your pops just said. Keep your head up, it'll get better. Hopefully sooner than later.👍
That's great advise dad. It's a learning experience for the kid as well. People are easy to judge you for one mistake instead of focusing all the good things you do instead. Hope all is well and mom's home safe and sound. Love you all. 💖💖🌹💋
Thank you for sharing your Dad & his wisdom with us all 💟
Good stuff and sage advice--Your dad is a legend for explaining the consequences calmly, rationally and without spoken judgement but you could see some disappointment in his eyes. Work hard to pick up those pieces and be a better man going forward, my friend--THAT is what his eyes were telling me.
No truer words have ever been spoken to explain said action of a lie! Love and peace and respect
Broke my phone, so I haven't been seeing your vids. Decided to binge your channel on my laptop today. All I gotta say.... This is prolly one of the most important video you've ever made.
This is the change we need in the world, the change that starts at home.
Also, You're very lucky you have the father you do. don't take him for granted.
You've got a great dad!!! Cherish that and learn everything you can from him!!! He really loves you and wants to teach you right, that's the only reason he's hard on you and yells! He knows that life is hard and he's trying to save you alot of trouble in the future. Keep putting out the good content. Others that don't have a dad like yours learn from him too❤️
You just grew about an inch there young MAN!! That was a very big moment in your life an I think you handled it well and gives me more hope for our youth. Keep growing up and your gonna make Dad proud of you. P.S. I think he already thought 😉
This is something close to what my dad taught me. He also broke me from stealing. He caught me when I stole a toy I really wanted. He also made me take it back and tell them I took it. Now at the age of 43.... I can't even think about taking a free pin without asking.
Lies do have a habit of coming back and biting ya on the arse, it's never a good idea to tell a lie because it always catches up on you.
Liars need to have very good memories because sometime or other someone will bring it to question even if it's a year or two down the line.
Your Dad is a sensible man.
There is ONLY 1 thing that NO ONE can take from you. But you can give it away once and never get it back. Your integrity.
That man is a national treasure. Wisdom of age. Great guy. Learn all you can from him.
I always love hearing your dad’s explanations. He’s got a lot of wisdom from raising all of you kids. He’s an excellent example of our generation.
Your Dad loves you. I can hear the subtle softness in his voice when he knows you're being serious, or when something really affects him. I wish my son would listen to me like you listen to him. It's hard to watch him make almost the exact same mistakes I made (that almost destroyed me), try to offer advice, and have it thrown back in my face. I see people saying how you should be grateful and heed his advice all the time in the comments. As a father that has tried to do the same for my millennial son PLEASE pay attention to him. He will save you so much trouble and heartache from doing the wrong things.
"just don't lie." The best advice ever.
Best Dad ever! ❤️🤩
Absolutely perfect example of a lie and how it spreads and you'll never get all your respect back. Apologize and keep going.
Excellent Dad
Words of wisdom. If more people thought and acted like ur dad world would be a better place. Respect from a fellow gen xer
I'm a 52 year old GenX'er, and I believe in brutal honesty. Whether it hurts you OR me. Take that with you. Your dad is right.
Good piece of advice dad knows what he is talking about, some things are just not fixable they sometimes get further away.
My boy, you are a "Chip off the old block!" Give it time! You are going to be the man that you seek to become because he is providing invaluable life guidance! (Your dad reminds me so much of my Dad!). Trudge on trubador and trust, whilist questioning everything! The only thing I ever took at face value was from my Dad. Everything else I questioned, and it has hereby, made me a better man at my young age of 53! P.S.- (Meeting the two of you is on my bucket list!)
That IS the best way to look at a "lie". Great advice General.
Your dad is awesome and he would be an excellent friend.
This is how I see it in short,, when you never tell a lie, no matter how small, you live your true life.
The fact that your able to go to your dad like that is awesome
Great lesson in life. Dad has given you the tools.. maybe not to fix it, but to make sure you’ll never have to go thru it again. Saying you were wrong doesn’t make a man weak, it shows how strong you are to admit it. Maybe it will help someone else from making that mistake in the first place. All the best
Kid you’re lucky to have a wise man in your life that you can grow and learn from . Priceless and here’s the greatest part of it all. When the time comes and you’re his age and you’re missing him you can always look back and watch these videos of him that you have made and you’ll see how wise he is. You’re so lucky to have him in your life you both have a wonderful relationship with each other and he’s someone you can mirror yourself after
That is great wisdom. Bravo 👏
You're blessed to have your dad. My dad wrote me off years ago and he doesn't want anything to do with me.
Father's are vital!
And the fact you do videos with your dad means you honor him. You son are hope for the future
