John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Look im 41 years old, I work every damn day of my life. My wife and child want for nothing... they have to.laugh at my jokes. Its in the constitution
Boa'o'wouh 💦
Okay boomer
This is the way
😂
@@rootube9481 He's 41yrs old, so he is not even Gen-X and certainly not a Boomer. He would be a Millennial.
Later in life I can't believe what my Dad did as a boomer. He built the house we lived in, raised 4 kids on one income, bribed me to start reading as a kid with rewards like video games [which probably got me into College], only owned one new car in his life as he fixes everything himself, and refused to remarry now that my mother is gone because he wants to preserve his memory of her until he dies.
Difficult to do that now, the skills our dads and grandads had are being lost to time since we just bin and replace things when they break or technology is replacing it.
@@haveanotherpinacolada yup that is really true. I learned how to fix some things on a computer, but that is nothing compared to what he did.
Absolutely wonderful
....
Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today

Sounds like a real man and proper father/husband!
Cherish your dads. My dad died some years ago. Life is not the same now. He was the most stereotypical dad ever. White socks with sandals, short khakis, beer belly and boy oh boy his dad jokes where neverending. I miss him.
Sorry to hear about that. He sounds like he was a lovely person and wonderful dad.
This makes me wonder if I’m better off never knowing my dad.
I hear ya x
I feel you on that 100%. His dad jokes were the best. I tried to write down as many as I could after he died. I miss him every day. He used to homemake tie dye shirts and wear one everyday with his “identical twin brother’ he told everyone he had, even tho they were 6 years apart. They said they made all their stuff in shop class. Like literally every gift I’ve ever received was “made by my dad in shop class” (it was from a store)
Our dads are awesome

42yo dad here and I finally understand the clothes thing. At some point you are who you are and just roll with that until you die. There's no need to change up fashion.
For me, it'll be golf casual, vineyard vines, and retro sneakers until I die. I have zero interest to change.
Lol, my husband just started the golf casual clothing train. He doesn't even play any sports. "This stuff just breaths you know". Is his reply 😂😂
@@purplehermit1607 Flexible too. If you need to do a roundhouse kick there is never any concern. Can't say that for khakis
At 40 I wear exactly the same type of clothing I wore at 20, soon you'll see a lot of skater dude cheesy dad's
It's coming 😂
I must be broken cause I reached that age at around 19 or 20. I really can't bring myself to care about what's in style and I go buy new clothes like once every two years.
call me a zoomer but my 18yo self would rook this any time
Dad rock now is Rage Against the Machine. And that machine, is definitely a printer.
Im now nearly 50 and never got to be a dad, I like to think I would have done a good job. My own dad died 14 years ago, and I miss him.
My brother in law became a dad for the first time at 56
He met my sister when he was 54
Don't write it off yet man
My dad was raised by his grandparents, who were born pre 1900 so i was raised with all the skill and finesse of a child from the 1930s. Good times.
Happy near-Centennial to ya. Seriously, possessing life skills and worldview hearkening to the days of Roosevelt and Churchill... in 2024. That's a mind blower.
Its love man. The wildest kind of feeling you didn't even know you could have. Switches on like a light when you're all lightheaded in that birthing suite. Only gets stronger the older they get. It's wild, scary, and my favorite thing about planet Earth for suuuuure
Straight truth, man. And I tried to tell one of my sons, when he was getting in trouble "I'm at a disadvantage, because while I see how stupid you're acting, I also still see in you the newborn, the toddler, the discoverer of nature, and everything you've ever been. I can't just say "He's a stupid kid who's destroying himself with drugs."" I was trying to be stern and had tears in my eyes.

That’s the wholesomest thing I’ve seen on the internet. And true.
Dads are so precious. This video made me call mine and tell him I love him
As a GenX Dad, I'm lovin' this! However, do not forget about us 'Alternative' GenX'ers. Think Mods, and general Geeks and less middle America types of folks. Our Dad uniforms tend to revolve around black screen printed t-shirts more than the New Balance shoes. Instead of a waist pack we have tactical bags from Maxpedition and 5.11 because awesome. And instead of Dad Hats we still try to hold onto our 80's era hair styles like a skater wedge with long bangs and general coolness. Our dance styles are vastly different than the classic 'white boy' or 'sprinkler' as well. We were shoe gazers and can still go that route anytime The Cure comes on at the local grocery store. Or maybe this is just me!?
Exactly. As I said in my comment(Millennial speaking here), blue jeans(or any jeans, but typically blue) and trainers or runners = the Boomer uniform. This is how you can tell the difference between a Boomer and Gen Xer, Gen Xers know you need casual or skateboarding shoes(often Chuck Taylor's) to go with your jeans, usually black. If you're wearing runners or trainers, you wear shorts or trackpants. These are the rules.
Boomers typically have the plaid button up shirts(usually tucked in), or rugby or football shirts, whereas Gen Xers usually have a t-shirt with a band print or something else printed on them, sometimes maybe a footy jersey, but almost always with black jeans and casual shoes. Sometimes an older Gen Xer might wear the Boomer uniform, but not often.
@@AholeAtheist yep you nailed this! I’m a 51yo GenX Dad myself and still don’t own New Balance. Gotta rock the Doc’s, Vans or Adidas! Ha!
even as a millennial im like respek for the maxpedition/5.11 bags they are awesome lol
I think it's also a regional thing, I've seen more of dad's of your type because I live in Washington State
UK Alt Gen X Dad checking in, still have long hair and have kept the same 'uniform' of black jeans (Now with STretCH - makes all the difference) and various black t-shirts. Inherited the dad jokes tho
Dad was a Locomotive diesel fitter, extremely mechanically minded.
Built me an electric car go-kart around 1975 it was powered with a lead acid car battery & a dynamo as a motor.
(Nowadays dynamos have been replaced by an alternator). It's my fondest memory I'm 55 now RIP Dad. x
I lost my dad in 2020 and I miss him everyday he was a great dad thank you for this it reminded me of him 🥲
Lost dad last year and I have to admit that life sucks without him, he was a rock and I never knew how much I leaned on him until he was gone.
Make the most of your Da.
everytime i watch a jimmythegiant video, he always says "before we go any further with the video - back to the video" in the middle
cheers for those timeline sections
Late GenX/Xennial dad here. I think a big part of the casual dress, dad jokes, etc. is that, as involved parents, we put our hobbies and social circles on hold to a degree. There's a good 10ish year span where I was working full time, taking care of my house, and parenting two small kids. There wasn't time for much else. My community became other dads. We just stagnate for a bit. I'm not complaining about this - just noting what happens.
Now, when our kids get older we're able to re-engage in what we used to love. Your comment about listening to podcasts and self-help may indicate a bit more self-awareness about this and may take steps to intentionally re-engage. For me, it was mountain biking and music. Now that my kids are teenagers, their desire for freedom and independence also results in freeing up time for us parents as well.
You're spot on. I'm a new dad, he's only two, but the things I do at work, wrecking my body, I'm happy to do them for him and my wife. It's a strange loneliness that I don't mind very much.

just getting back into the hobbies. was almost five years of hard work and now my daughter shares my hobbies and i have my best friend with me at all times!
Jimmy your ability to observe is incredible! Always love when you drop a video 🎉
Thank you!!
Hi, millennial dad here. Great vid.
When you did the dad fashion segment.... Well lets say it touched a note.
But the computer thing is damn true. Having a permanent halo co op partner is the best thing abount being a father.
Man my dad was one of the best boomer dads you could hope for. I sure do miss him every single day.
His father was tough as nails, but he was a great man too. Both were vastly different in personality.
This video described the differences between boomer and silent gen dads pretty well.
That final segment about how dad's are now, is spot on.
I can confirm that!!!
You oughtta join us Jimmy!
I hope to!
Didn't grow up with my dad but things like these make me want to be there for the kids I'll have. I feel like being a good dad is one of the most important responsibilities in life for a man. That may be because I yearn that relationship but then again i want to be a great father. Beautiful video❤
Im sure you will do a great job
wish i had a dad
I just read a few books and did a project about Texas bbq and lemme tell you, my 30 year old step-dad ass was so much more excited than the rest of the university sophomores in class 😂
I’ll be honest, my dad is a detached, distant asshole and giving him a hug is an extremely uncomfortable act for me.
I'd rather eat broken glass than hug my boomer parents 😂
@@_Kittensworth 🤣
You have come a long way Jimmy, turning out high quality well developed content on a more varying range of topics while still keeping the essence of what makes you interesting to watch, you'll reach 1 mil subs some time next year for sure. Keep it up.
my dad was a boomer, born in 57... he died in 2006 but so much of this stuff was true for him! he had so many jokes & bits but he never tried to dumb stuff down for us kids. my sense of humor ended up being very similar to his. i wish he got to experience social media, as silly as it sounds he would've loved memes !!
Just gotta say, been watching your videos for 2 years now, maybe even more I dont remember, and your way of making videos are great. Basically I love your videos, keep making em.
Thank you!
Having kids is fun , they can do everything for you & I'm a Steve 😂
Steves unite!!!!
@@steve1085 yazzzz!
I don't have many positives to share about my dad or stepdad, but anytime my stepdad was a good dad in my eyes, he embodied the good nature and jovial characteristics you presented in this video.
I salute the good dads out there, and beseech the ones that merely show up or give the bare minimum can find it in themselves to try harder and do better- and if not, at the least let your kid know it's not their fault.
I strive to be the best dad to my child if and when that day comes, and hope other people share my vision of a world where kids can get not just a dad that they want, but a dad they deserve.
I feel Gen X is closer to Millennial than boomer, growing up listening to punk, hip hop and alot of alternative culture and music.
Hilarious and informative. Cheers, Jimmy.
Well said, love the positivity and bright outlook!
Loved this. Being a Dad is great. I highly recommend it.
My dad always tries to find something to fix when he comes over. 😂😂
Great analysis and video! I also appreciate the very visible attribution to the content creators you used.
Why did this make me cry. Lmao great vid laddie
This resonated so deeply with me
You're so good in telling these stories. I have so much respect for that and especially all the research!!! Keep it going and if there is space I would be really exited about a new parkour featuring video, like finding spots with google maps...or did I missed something because you haven't uploaded one in ages? And what about the stream with Dom, will there be a video on CZcams somewhere?
Not going to beat my kids when I'm drunk. Think it might not have been the best strategy with me and my sibling...
Jimmy, your videos just get better and better
My boomer dad just died in June, amd this really brought back some memories. I'm a 32yo husband and dad of 2 now, and some of my dad's quirks are making sense now. Some of them.
My dad matched the style perfectly, except he had cheap clip-on tinted filters for his chunky 80s glasses. I still don't get the idea of tucking in the tshirt or wearing tall socks with shorts. I wear black, non-branded sneakers, jeans, and a tshirt everyday (untucked). My simple style is future-proof
Im pretty sure the tucking in shirt is a boomer military thing, my dad did it too.
Jimmy's videos keep getting better and better.
Solid episode, man. Well done.
great vid as always!
great video keep up the work
Your dad showing up for this is perfection. This like is specifically for him.

Hey Jimmy, just want to say that I love everything you do. From dad bods to roller blading, you're killing it! Thanks for all you do! I know theres probably a lot of negative stuff with the internet and all, but I hope this positive comment at least outweighs some of those a$$h0les. You're the man, and I would love to rollerblade or hang out with you. All the best from the states!
this video made me just smile! Love this
This was lovely too watch. Rather funny, sweet and encouraging to watch
Back in the day people needed to read a book to learn that it's good to be nice to your kids..
To be fair, they were often raised having just the opposite. And not to complain bc most everyone was destitute from the Great Depression, and then had to stoic out the rationing during WW2. They needed that book! Too bad the dad's didn't bother to read it.
Absolutely brilliant video had me laughing and feeling old all at once
Great analysis and overall video Jim
Being a 33 old dad this video resonated a lot with me. I hope we will do good about our children and give them a happy and fulfilling life.
About the "Dad joke"... You nailed it when you mentioned the need for "humor" suitable for THE WIFE and kids.... It's really about the WIFE and not the kids. They NEVER appreciate the really funny (thus inappropriate) jokes... The KIDS laugh regardless, but if want to avoid having your wife SHIELD the kids from you, then turning down the dial on raunchy humor becomes a way of life... eventually, as you age, those dopey old jokes from those old joke books become useful again.
Those crusty puns and one-liners are NOT even from our generation (Boomer), we inherited them from OUR parents.
Who else checked their phone at 4:32 ? I didn't even know sound could come out the right side of my laptop hahahah
Loved this video
Love watching your videos , u disclose related issues
As a boy my mom had to work nights and for a bit it was my younger brother my dad and i. Having dinner, fish sticks and french frys, we pissed dad off a bit and the slams the ketchup on the table somehow it blew up and katchup all over the ceiling. We all starting laughing and it was the funniest thing at the time.
Great vid, cheers jim.
Best Video yet Mate.
This is a great video
Man from parkour to dads, boy Jimmy your channel grew!
This is the most wholesome comment section on any CZcams video ❤
great vid
My Dad's a boomer and I'm I'm an X'er. Emotional expressions were never a big thing but a few years ago my dad text me to simply state 'I love you''. With genuine concern I replied, ''Are you dying?'
He wasn't.
Good wholesome vid, hit me in dem dad feels.
Spot on my friend. Spot. On 😂
I do not have a Dad (he dipped out a loong time ago), but I still enjoyed this video just so ya know.
My dads coolness is timeless, I hope to be able to be hyped on anything my kid is hyped on! The dropping in definetly fits for be because I skate but I will just be happy that they found something they love like I love art and skateboarding
This was beautiful.
The dad documentary, nice
I'm always cracking dad jokes, listening to dad rock, wearing blue jeans... I'm 24 and single.
9:54 that stuntman really earned his check
Sleaford Mods are the finest of grumpy Dad music!
I see the direction you are going in and I approve
I feel like my dad was a goddamn pioneer, he is over 65yo now but not only did he form the first (cover) metal band in our buttfuck nowhere redneck region in Finland, but he is also a fucking GAMER with his railroad tycoons and Age of Mythology or Civ. and by no means is he a nerd or a frail old man, he could probably still kick my ass if he really wanted to. Mad respect.
9:20-9:27 just coming to the relisation that I, a woman, am part dad. He mentioned my faves 😪
Interesting that you brought up the book by doctor spock as I remember growing up and going into my parent room where my mum would have that very book by her bedside dresser for her before bed reading. Didn't realise that most households would adopt those same principles of raising children
Growing up i couldn't stand some of the things my dad would do, but now that im a father I'm starting to realize why he did all the things he did and am now turning into my dad 😆
amazing how most of our friends here don't want kids. if you want a better world then put in the work to become a better father figure than the one you had or didn't have.
The Beatles and Rolling Stones are not dad rock, they’re grandpa rock now
So Chuck Berry, Elvis, and BB King are great grandpa rock 💀💀
This is so classic
I'm only here to find out what a "Dad" is I've been hearing about them all my life Im only here so i can see what to look for when trying to find mine
I’m a 35 year old dad of a 10 year old. My biggest difficulties is remembering he’s still a child. Sometimes I expect more of him that I should.
But I do love the look on his face this last week when he asked if I wanted to play his new mario kart with him…..
He has played with his cousins before and always wins. Little does he know his dad spent more time playing various mario kart games than he has been alive for. I picked up the sticks and lapped his ass.
I debated not passing on the sacred information of counter steering, miniturbos, and shortcuts my brother and I learned the hard way. But that is what parenting is about. Making the world easier for our children than it was for us. I did my part.
I am a millennial in my mid-30s who is married, but has chosen not to have any kids with my wife. However, the older I get, the more I see myself falling into some of those dad stereotypes, even though I am not a dad, nor will ever be one. I find lots of joy in DIY projects, mowing the lawn, and find myself buying the majority of my clothes at Costco, because they produce good quality clothes for cheap prices. I care much more about practicality rather than my image. I have now had the same basic haircut for about five years now (yet to show signs of baldness/greying) and just haven’t really changed much in recent years and I’m quite content with my life and who I am in my personal life and career.
While I do think my behaviors and style choices would be a bit different if I was still single and not having been married for six years, I think some of these dad stereotypes are less about being a dad and more about just getting older, more mature, and just realizing that you are who you are, and are probably not going to change too much Going forward.
But then, again, I have also probably picked up some traits from some of my friends and family who are now dads when I hang out with them and their families, especially when I see my two young nephews, and attempt to dote on them as a caring uncle lol.
It’s an interesting topic lol.
have kids our you have fail your family and your blood line they arethe greastes joy a person could ever have
I can just picture your ancestors shaking their heads from the afterlife, wondering where they went wrong in the grand scheme of fighting for survival.
But hey, who needs the pitter-patter of tiny feet when you can have the silence of uninterrupted sleep, right? Forget about passing down family traditions and stories; you've got Netflix binges to complete.
Just remember, when your future self is stuck in a nursing home, surrounded by strangers instead of generations of descendants, you can console yourself with the fact that your bloodline extinction was a well-thought-out life choice.

I believe that there is no such thing as an afterlife. My ancestors are dead and know nothing.
I didn’t share this in my last statement, but one of the main reasons we aren’t having kids is because we are trying to take some pretty bad genetic disorders out of the gene pool. Also, there’s a high likelihood my wife would not survive pregnancy/childbirth due to a couple of these genetic conditions.
Besides, there’s almost 8 billion people, the world won’t miss our genes.
Also, I think it’s selfish to have kids just so you can have someone to take care of you when you’re older. I help my parents with some things currently and plan on helping them as they get older, but that’s because I choose to do so. They don’t expect anything out of me other than they want me to be happy. They offer support, but don’t dictate how I live my life. My wife and I live great productive lives with good-paying careers in the medical field with wonderful friends and family in our lives, and are saving for our futures. We don’t have a problem with other people having kids, they just aren’t for us. Everybody has a role to play in society, and a great many people choose to be in the role of parents (among other roles). We opted out of that role, and are happy with lives we created and the contribution we make to our friends’/family’s lives and society at large every day.
@@lukesherwin4137 o/ Wenn Sie genetische Störungen haben, ist es eine Pflicht Ihrer Rasse, auf Kinder zu verzichten!
I go through phases of thinking my dad is either the best or worst thing. I think what I love and hate about him is that I am too much like him, I literally turning into him 😂😭
Why am I even watching this I live in rural Florida I literally work with these guys
Hank hill and his father cotton is all I can think of

At least the boomers had a dad in the house

Man, I miss my dad 😞
I'm mostly worried about the whole over protective thing parents are doing in this generation I mean I see kids wandering around parks with bicycle helmets on its way to much imo
@@smashyrashy uhhh well maybe kids above the age of 6 or 7
Wait they wearing helmets without being on bikes? Were they special needs?
My Dad is a Gen X Dad and he is great. He told me he loved me and rarely wooped my ass unless i really earned it. Im glad i had him fr.

3:55 If it's button-front, it's not a t-shirt.
4:11 Either that or work boots or hiking boots. A lot of modern work boots are patterned after athletic shoes.

7:25 Authoritarian, not authoritative. Two different words. Two very different approaches.
9:56 'Home Improvement'. Singular.
10:49 Grilling and barbecuing are two completely different cooking disciplines. Grilling is fast. Barbecue is slow.
11:54 One of "The Five Love Languages" is called "Acts of Service."
