Me: Dad, can you please teach me how to bike? Dad: How are you not able to bike at 8 years old?! AKA The Story of Why I’m 32 and a Dad Myself But I Don’t Know How To Ride a Bike and Can’t Teach My Kids Thanks, _dad_.
@@theotherriley3033 you should hop in the bath then! If you need a rubber duckie (or several) to keep you company I have extras i can spare. I bought 1200 for a prank and just keep them in my house
Most newer ovens have a self clean setting. If you put your oven on self clean, usually it will lock the oven door, heat up so hot that it turns everything left in the oven to ash, then you can just wipe out the ash when it's done. If your oven doesn't have a self-clean option, then easy off spray is always great too!
I've tried to give instructions over the phone. It is not at all easy. Too many variables. It's worse if the person you're trying to instruct doesn't have any experience.
I've actually wondered that myself. My biological dad wasn't there to teach me, and all my first stepdad knew how to do was throw a little beer on it and drink the rest (he was an addict/dealer/alcoholic and other stuff). And I haven't even seen a grill at my mamaw and papaw's, ever, and I lived with them for a time.
I love these videos! My dad has passed and sooo many times I’ve had problems and just wish he was here to ask because I know he’d know just what to do! Thanks so much, your videos are so helpful!
I feel this so much. My dad passed 1 year ago and there’s so many times I want to call him and ask him something but I can’t and then I cry because it hits me all over again that he’s not here. But this man here is amazing thank you for creating this page. Hats off to you sir.
I'm a 67 year old female house owner who lost her father when I was 6 years old. This has been so helpful in a very nonthreatening way. Thank you so much. I love this.
I lost my dad when i was 5 years old and now im 14 years olds thanks to your videos i can do all the things that my. Dad did not taught me like the video how to shave thank you so much because it helped me shaved my tiny beard please keep doing this so the other poeples out there with the same situation know what to do
@island mike hit me with some constructive criticism. Because, "fashion" and "retarded" are also conditional and personal concepts. Some even consider a FASHION to be retarded, ok?
@@yurimolfarUA there are times when you can't ask for help or have to solve the problem urgently. This is why I, for example, had to learn how to cook.
Some men just don't realize they are the world to their children. They can't know how heartbreaking it is to a child when fathers don't make the effort to focus on a relationship, or they would invest more time on them. It is the most important job of a man's life - raising well-adjusted kids. Reading to a child at bedtime EVERY NIGHT should be a priority...even if Mom did it already. Dad needs to read to them nightly too. Not only does it help build relationships, but school is sooo much easier when they are comfortable with books. My grandsons knew half the words by the time they were 6-7 because they had been automatically following along for awhile as Dad and Mom read to them.
You saved my life. My sink was taking minutes to drain and we were just days before moving out of our apt. and I knew we were going to be fined. This video gave me exactly what I needed including the confidence to just go through with it!
All those earings and rings and stuff I've lost to the sink drain were all waiting RIGHT THERE in the p trap THIS WHOLE TIME ARE U KIDDING ME!? I wish you were my dad. These videos are amazing thank you so much for being you.
You rock!!! I am 63. I like figuring things out. Daddy thought girls should not need tools if you weren’t super poor. He grew up in the depression/WWII. He taught my younger brother. Daddy died when my brother was 12 (I was 14). I am astounded at how much my brother retained... plumbing, carpentry, electrical. Now my brother teaches me. First he taught me to fix computers and we did Y2K consulting together. Now he moved across the street after decades out of town. He buys me tools. He is my biggest advocate. Your channel will help me learn more. Also, you will help my dear friend who just bought her first house and is finishing her Masters so has little cash for calling services to help her out. Thanks!

Thanks “Dad”!! I used your wisdom last week to fix a pain in the butt clog in my kitchen drains! It took me a couple days, but I did it!! (My dad took his own life while my mom was pregnant with me 😢) Thank you for saving the day! I also taught both my daughters as I fixed it so they can pass it on to their kids some day!
I watched this video just to watch it when it first came out. Today it came in handy! A sign your a great teacher is that I didn't need to rewatch it, it all absorbed into my brain the first time. Just came back to say Thanks Dad!
My 18 year old son and I just fixed a slow drain sink! I know that must sound so simple and easy for some folks, but for me it was incredible and empowering! Thank you so much Rob!
My dad passed away when I was 14 and I never learned how to do this. You have both made my day and made me cry. Thank you for being so wholesome. Keep up the great work!
thank you so much!! my dad didn't have a dad to teach him these things, and as a girl you're never really encouraged to do these things, I unclogged my sink and squealed of joy, never has a pile of smelly gunk made me feel so happy, thank you so much!!!

That hole in the plug at 5:17 made me think back to 10 years ago when I was a kid wondering why the plug would just pop up and down! no wonder, it was disconnected! I can't believe I'm just learning this. THANK YOU!
I’m a single mom so I no longer have a man to do things like this for me, I also lost my dad a few years ago so I can no longer call him up.. thanks so much for this video! Means a lot to me 😌
I too had my dad walk out on my when I was young, so I can relate. I also had no idea how easy it was to remove the trap of the bottom of the sink, so I’ve found a couple of other non-chemical ways to clear sink clogs that may be useful to your viewers and don’t involve removing any sink parts. For me, most of the clogs happen at the top of the pipe in those four grooves in the circular water trap. If you don’t want to remove the water trap, you can very inexpensively buy a narrow, flexible brush to clean metal drinking straws. Open the water trap in the sink and use the flexible straw brush to clean the four grooves. If that doesn’t work, I have a small plunger that’s made for specifically for sinks, and this is also really inexpensive. Fill the sink with water and start plunging away. The combination of these two things has not yet failed me yet, but, if they do, I now know how to remove the sink trap. Thanks for that!
Im literally crying through this video. I just saw the post on FB and you overwhelmed my heart. My dad left my family when i was 7 and now, as a single, house-owning woman, i have to youtube so much basic stuff. Thank you ❤
I love my dad, but he’s always been an extremely busy worker and he never had time to teach me things like this. And both my parents never had patience to teach without screaming or getting annoyed. If I am ever a parent, I will always prioritize time like this. Thank you for everything dad! You’re helping many and I agree with the rest, we must protect you at all costs❤️ you bring hope and a smile to many of us.
My dad passed away in 2004 so I didn't know who to ask about my slow drain. After I watched this I went ahead and opened up my P trap....one word "EEEEEEWWWWW" The previous owners of this apartment clearly did not know to do this...the smell alone...then clumps of slimy black stuff. I don't think I even WANT to know what that is. Thanks Dad! I almost cried thinking about the fact that my dad would have liked you and thanked you. He once taught me to change a tire with the car set to neutral. He laughed quite a lot at me trying to take the lug nuts off before admitting what he did..such a prankster!
Wow, I can't believe how useful this was. Been living alone for over a year now and hadn't even considered doing any kind of maintenance. My sink wasn't able to hold water at all but this helped me fix it. Thank you so much!
I’ll be 40 this year, likely not much younger than you. But I wish you’d been a resource for me during my own fatherless youth. Thank you for this, you’re an example to us all of what humanity can do for its own. Blessed be.
Thank you for this. I almost cried when I saw a post on Facebook about your UA-cam channel. You have no idea how much I appreciate you being someone who also grew up without a dad. Thank you for being a dad to thousands of people!!
You, Sir, are a national treasure. Thank you so much for your kind and generous spirit! My dad did not teach me these things because I’m a girl. He’s been gone for almost 20 years now. And now my husband is disabled, on dialysis, and on the kidney transplant list. My daughters and I desperately need a kind, gentle teacher as we learn how to take care of so many things in the house. Thank you again. May God lavishly bless your 2023. America needs you and an army of men like you!
Pops walked out when I was 9 and left us living on the streets. Only thing I ever learned was computers so I appreciate your videos quite a bit. Thanks, Dad!
My dad left me before I was born so I never got to learn anything about how to fix or do basic tasks. I love this guy so much because he’s like my dad. He deserves the world. I love his channel! ❤️
My mom's bathroom sink has been clogged for a while now, so it was very convenient that I stumbled upon your tutorial today. I tried out what you taught in this video and was able to unclog my mom's bathroom sink all by myself!! Granted, there's still some kind of deeper blockage beyond the p-trap that is still clogging the sink whenever the faucet runs (we'll get a maintenance tech to help with that), but the fact that I now know how to take off and reattach a p-trap is so rewarding!! I also grew up without my biological father in life and briefly had a useless stepfather, so I really commend you for creating this channel for fellow fatherless folks! Thank you so much!
This is awesome! My dad passed away when I was 13 years old and I don't have anyone to call when I need someone for help like this. Luckily, my hubby is great at this but I also would like to know more on how to do stuff on my own. You are awesome!! I hope you upload more videos. :)
Thank u so much for these videos..my dad taught me a little but he had 2 girls so most stuff like this he did himself and never taught my sister and I. Hes passed away now so this is very helpful. I'm a single mom and don't have money to pay someone to unclog my drains. Thanks again. Your awesome
My dad was killed by a drunk driver on Valentine’s Day when I was 4 and there are so many basics I lack this was one of them. Thank you so much for being who you are!
I just recently lost my father to Glioblastoma, and you've covered some issues I needed help with that I'd normally ask my father. So thank you so much for helping me in more than just one way. ❤️
Hearing about your channel to help young people without father figures brought me to tears today! Thank you for making these videos; they are very helpful.
I have literally never done anything like this before. Have always enlisted help. Thank you so much for this simple ‘how to’... delivered so authentically. I was successful!. Thanks Dad!
You can buy a wire screen insert to fit in the drain that will allow water to go down, but not your earrings, bobby pins, etc. Prevention is the best option. (Note: you do have to clean the screen and the drain below it from time to time.)
@@wolfpatricia Great! Thanks for that. You'd think I learn to stop keeping earrings in the bathroom, but since that is obviously not going to happen this is a fab idea. :)
Yes, be careful!! Had to take my husband to the ER after he had to get under the house to get to the plug, he found it, laid in chemicals till he had it repaired, and got 3rd degree burns on arms and back! Thanks dad, you’re anointed! 🙏🏼
My dad left me and my mom and my mom is stressing with money and can’t get a plumber because I accidentally clogged and she got real mad at me and made me unclog the sink and this really helped, thank you🙏🙏❗️
I wish I had seen this last night. Literally just had to take mine apart to unclog it (one of my kids decided to wash a muddy rock in my sink and got it good and rocky and muddy and CLOGGED). I went for the “screw it, learn as you go” method Bc I don’t have anyone to call for advice. Glad to know I did it correctly lol Thanks for your videos!
Our sink has been clogged for MONTHS and I saw this video and thought, what the heck, this doesn't look too hard...I have no experience with doing "handy" stuff, but I did it Dad! Thanks so much!!
I do have a father, he just doesn't know how to be one. Anyway, whatever is above us human beings may keep you in its grace (if there is such thing), man.
Can't thank you enough! Saved me $100 . . . I'm the (single) mother of two grown (adopted) daughters. It was not easy for this old lady, but with your help I did it!
My parents moved out to their isolated cabin because of coronavirus. Thank you for helping me learn how to take good care of our house while they’re gone!
I'm happy to say the operation was a complete SUCCESS! Thank you for this. My dad is not in my life, so having to be "the man" of the house weighs puts pressure on me to magically know these things.
Oh my god! This is a brilliant channel! I love my dad but he lives far away and he’d just do it for me instead of teach me. My stepdad works a lot (I love him too) and he tells me when I need help “UA-cam it” 😂 I actually have this issue and now it doesn’t seem so hard to handle thank you 🙏
There are no men in the house I live in, only women. The bathroom sink has been clogged for a month, the water wasn’t draining fast. I came across this video and I went in the bathroom right away, and followed all the steps you were doing. Now the water drains so fast... this was so helpful thanks daddddd! :D
Single mom here. We can are enough! It’s hard, but we can do it with help from friends and family and now Dad here :). It’s just me and my two girls and I am so happy to tell them I found them a dad! Lol.
My bracelet snapped and one of the beads fell down the sink! I freaked out for a second but thought “hey didn’t dad make a video about this??” Came in handy like you wouldn’t believe! Now my husband and I both know how to do clear the drain ☺️ Thanks Dad!
No one can tell me nothing today. I came looking for this video and got right to work and fixed two of my sinks that weren’t draining correctly. I’m not okay with what I’ve seen, but it’s done!! Thank you!! I’ll be sitting over here gloating to my husband when he gets home 😂
Hi... I want to thank you for your UA-cam channel. My 14 year old son's father was murdered 5 years ago the day after Father's Day. Before his murder, he hadn't had a relationship with his father since he was 5 years old. My son just found your channel and decided he wanted to watch your videos. Today, after looking at this video, he felt confident enough to unclog our bathroom sink. Happy Father's Day.
thank you for your whole channel and your existence. my dad passed away almost 4 years ago and now i’m 18 and don’t know how to do any real life stuff, but i hope this helps me with my sink 🥺🥺🥺 have a nice day
hey man your videos are awesome! this one in particular helped me a lot, I managed to clear a ton of hair from the p-trap and underneath the stopper today!

Yes cleaning an oven would be so useful!

Most newer ovens have a self clean setting. If you put your oven on self clean, usually it will lock the oven door, heat up so hot that it turns everything left in the oven to ash, then you can just wipe out the ash when it's done.

He needs a Patreon if he doesn’t already have one
I had several ads before, during, and after. I think it is monetized now.

My sinks were stressing me out so bad. I fixed them both using your video! Thanks so much!
Im literally crying through this video. I just saw the post on FB and you overwhelmed my heart. My dad left my family when i was 7 and now, as a single, house-owning woman, i have to youtube so much basic stuff. Thank you ❤
I'm a single mom and my son is my world. You're not just a dad of 2 you're a dad to millions!❤ thank you so much for all your help. You rock!
I love my dad, but he’s always been an extremely busy worker and he never had time to teach me things like this. And both my parents never had patience to teach without screaming or getting annoyed. If I am ever a parent, I will always prioritize time like this. Thank you for everything dad! You’re helping many and I agree with the rest, we must protect you at all costs❤️ you bring hope and a smile to many of us.
My dad passed away in 2004 so I didn't know who to ask about my slow drain. After I watched this I went ahead and opened up my P trap....one word "EEEEEEWWWWW" The previous owners of this apartment clearly did not know to do this...the smell alone...then clumps of slimy black stuff. I don't think I even WANT to know what that is. Thanks Dad! I almost cried thinking about the fact that my dad would have liked you and thanked you. He once taught me to change a tire with the car set to neutral. He laughed quite a lot at me trying to take the lug nuts off before admitting what he did..such a prankster!
New homeowner and my dad lives far away, I just declogged my sink cause of this. It was very gross but draines perfectly now. Thank you!
I love this. It’s so good for the solo ladies too. Calling a plumber in Australia is a $350+ call out fee.
You’re the Ron Swanson to my Ann Perkins !
Wow, I can't believe how useful this was. Been living alone for over a year now and hadn't even considered doing any kind of maintenance. My sink wasn't able to hold water at all but this helped me fix it. Thank you so much!
I’ll be 40 this year, likely not much younger than you. But I wish you’d been a resource for me during my own fatherless youth. Thank you for this, you’re an example to us all of what humanity can do for its own. Blessed be.
Thank you for this. I almost cried when I saw a post on Facebook about your UA-cam channel. You have no idea how much I appreciate you being someone who also grew up without a dad. Thank you for being a dad to thousands of people!!
You, Sir, are a national treasure. Thank you so much for your kind and generous spirit! My dad did not teach me these things because I’m a girl. He’s been gone for almost 20 years now. And now my husband is disabled, on dialysis, and on the kidney transplant list. My daughters and I desperately need a kind, gentle teacher as we learn how to take care of so many things in the house. Thank you again. May God lavishly bless your 2023. America needs you and an army of men like you!
So cute! He even has terrible dad jokes! I love this! We need more of this in the world!
Bro this man deserves dad of the century🙏
Pops walked out when I was 9 and left us living on the streets. Only thing I ever learned was computers so I appreciate your videos quite a bit. Thanks, Dad!
My dad left me before I was born so I never got to learn anything about how to fix or do basic tasks. I love this guy so much because he’s like my dad. He deserves the world. I love his channel! ❤️
Thanks for this, my flat's sink has been draining so slowly for ages and now it's fixed - you're a legend
My mom's bathroom sink has been clogged for a while now, so it was very convenient that I stumbled upon your tutorial today. I tried out what you taught in this video and was able to unclog my mom's bathroom sink all by myself!! Granted, there's still some kind of deeper blockage beyond the p-trap that is still clogging the sink whenever the faucet runs (we'll get a maintenance tech to help with that), but the fact that I now know how to take off and reattach a p-trap is so rewarding!! I also grew up without my biological father in life and briefly had a useless stepfather, so I really commend you for creating this channel for fellow fatherless folks! Thank you so much!
This is awesome! My dad passed away when I was 13 years old and I don't have anyone to call when I need someone for help like this. Luckily, my hubby is great at this but I also would like to know more on how to do stuff on my own.
You are awesome!! I hope you upload more videos. :)
Thank u so much for these videos..my dad taught me a little but he had 2 girls so most stuff like this he did himself and never taught my sister and I. Hes passed away now so this is very helpful. I'm a single mom and don't have money to pay someone to unclog my drains. Thanks again. Your awesome
He made me want to clean my sink even tho it’s not clogged. Love you Dad!
My dad was killed by a drunk driver on Valentine’s Day when I was 4 and there are so many basics I lack this was one of them. Thank you so much for being who you are!
I just recently lost my father to Glioblastoma, and you've covered some issues I needed help with that I'd normally ask my father. So thank you so much for helping me in more than just one way. ❤️
Hearing about your channel to help young people without father figures brought me to tears today! Thank you for making these videos; they are very helpful.
Thanks Christa, my channel is for everyone, young and not so young. :0)
I have literally never done anything like this before. Have always enlisted help. Thank you so much for this simple ‘how to’... delivered so authentically. I was successful!. Thanks Dad!
Not the dad we deserve, but the dad we needed.
My husband is going to be so impressed the next time I drop my earring down the sink. He won't have to fetch it out for me! I can do it! :D
you go girl!!! *cheers*
You can buy a wire screen insert to fit in the drain that will allow water to go down, but not your earrings, bobby pins, etc. Prevention is the best option. (Note: you do have to clean the screen and the drain below it from time to time.)
@@wolfpatricia Great! Thanks for that. You'd think I learn to stop keeping earrings in the bathroom, but since that is obviously not going to happen this is a fab idea. :)
Yes, be careful!! Had to take my husband to the ER after he had to get under the house to get to the plug, he found it, laid in chemicals till he had it repaired, and got 3rd degree burns on arms and back! Thanks dad, you’re anointed! 🙏🏼
Someone just talked about you on Redditt, loving these videos. It was in the You should know group , talked about uou in a positive way
I just came from there fellow Reddit user!
Ay me too
My dad left me and my mom and my mom is stressing with money and can’t get a plumber because I accidentally clogged and she got real mad at me and made me unclog the sink and this really helped, thank you🙏🙏❗️
I wish I had seen this last night. Literally just had to take mine apart to unclog it (one of my kids decided to wash a muddy rock in my sink and got it good and rocky and muddy and CLOGGED). I went for the “screw it, learn as you go” method Bc I don’t have anyone to call for advice. Glad to know I did it correctly lol Thanks for your videos!
Our sink has been clogged for MONTHS and I saw this video and thought, what the heck, this doesn't look too hard...I have no experience with doing "handy" stuff, but I did it Dad! Thanks so much!!
I do have a father, he just doesn't know how to be one. Anyway, whatever is above us human beings may keep you in its grace (if there is such thing), man.
Can't thank you enough! Saved me $100 . . . I'm the (single) mother of two grown (adopted) daughters. It was not easy for this old lady, but with your help I did it!
Hey Dad, my daughter told me to watch you. Great Stuff!
You should do a video explaining Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty.
Thanks Mark. 👍
My parents moved out to their isolated cabin because of coronavirus. Thank you for helping me learn how to take good care of our house while they’re gone!
DAD YOU FORGOT TO PUT ON THE GLOVES BE CAREFUL
He said only if you’ve poured a chemical down the sink.
@@momentsformoms9467 Doesn't listen. Like real children
@@shellyt556 lma9
Used this video to get my sink unclogged and was a 100% success! Thanks internet Dad!!!
This man is an angel and must be protected at all costs
I'm happy to say the operation was a complete SUCCESS! Thank you for this. My dad is not in my life, so having to be "the man" of the house weighs puts pressure on me to magically know these things.
Oh my god! This is a brilliant channel! I love my dad but he lives far away and he’d just do it for me instead of teach me. My stepdad works a lot (I love him too) and he tells me when I need help “UA-cam it” 😂 I actually have this issue and now it doesn’t seem so hard to handle thank you 🙏
Was about to go to Walmart to buy a $10 unclogging liquid. But I’m thankful I checked here first. Thanks Dad
Hey, I just found out this Chanel. I now and by the first time in my life I feel that I have a father. Thank you dad. Lovebu ❤️
There are no men in the house I live in, only women. The bathroom sink has been clogged for a month, the water wasn’t draining fast. I came across this video and I went in the bathroom right away, and followed all the steps you were doing. Now the water drains so fast... this was so helpful thanks daddddd! :D
My kids dad died several years ago. I try, but I know I’m not enough. Thank you. 😢😍
Single mom here. We can are enough! It’s hard, but we can do it with help from friends and family and now Dad here :). It’s just me and my two girls and I am so happy to tell them I found them a dad! Lol.
My bracelet snapped and one of the beads fell down the sink! I freaked out for a second but thought “hey didn’t dad make a video about this??” Came in handy like you wouldn’t believe! Now my husband and I both know how to do clear the drain ☺️ Thanks Dad!
Can you show us how to empty a garbage disposal? I can hear something clinking around in there but can’t see it or feel anything.
No one can tell me nothing today. I came looking for this video and got right to work and fixed two of my sinks that weren’t draining correctly. I’m not okay with what I’ve seen, but it’s done!! Thank you!! I’ll be sitting over here gloating to my husband when he gets home 😂
Appreciate your message so much man! Never had a dad in my life and this speaks to me. Hope the best for you.
Hi... I want to thank you for your UA-cam channel. My 14 year old son's father was murdered 5 years ago the day after Father's Day. Before his murder, he hadn't had a relationship with his father since he was 5 years old. My son just found your channel and decided he wanted to watch your videos. Today, after looking at this video, he felt confident enough to unclog our bathroom sink. Happy Father's Day.
I respect you so much for this I've never had a dad in my life so this really warms my heart thank you for everything you do 🥰
thank you for your whole channel and your existence. my dad passed away almost 4 years ago and now i’m 18 and don’t know how to do any real life stuff, but i hope this helps me with my sink 🥺🥺🥺 have a nice day
hey man your videos are awesome! this one in particular helped me a lot, I managed to clear a ton of hair from the p-trap and underneath the stopper today!
