There is actually still a space in a lot of people's hearts of like, man, of like almost this

0:04.6

natural innate desire for fatherhood.

0:11.3

What's up guys?

0:12.1

Welcome to another five-minute fatherhood.

0:13.5

So just in the last few days, Jeff and I have been, he shot me a text and showed me

0:19.3

this, this YouTube channel that just has suddenly blown up.

0:22.6

It's called, Dad, How Do I? Question Mark.

0:26.3

And I wanted to get, Jeff, your take, how big is this?

0:29.1

And why do you think this is taken off all of a sudden so much?

0:32.3

Yeah, so if you guys don't know what it is, it's literally just this like dad on an iPhone,

0:36.8

the lowest production value ever. And he said,

0:40.0

he just realized that his kids would, you know, once they went to college and stuff, sometimes just say, hey, dad, how do I do this? And he's such a good dad that he would like, he'd make a little videos for him or make a little encouragement. This is how you fix a drain. This is how you do this outside. This is how you do something that's broken with a toilet.

you know, absent fathers, missing fathers and moms too, but just like this concept, you know,

1:06.3

So he's almost, he's done over another half a million subscribers just in a couple days since we talked about it. And it's literally just called dad. The channel's called dad, how do I? And he just answers, how do I blank every single episode. It's genius. It's brilliant. Even like the fact that it's low production value and low five. I love

1:44.2

everything about it. It's so innocent and pure and amazing. But yeah, I think if you think about

1:48.9

what, what's, and I think what I text is, I think it showed, man, there is, because I think

1:52.7

there is some truth to the fact that like men, masculinity, fathers, et cetera. There is a edge to

1:59.3

that that people don't like because they've been so harmed by it.
