Well, after a few minutes of investigation, I discover that my daughter, Maddie, has made a video about me.
She's a screenwriter in Hollywood.
She's also a big social media influencer with millions of followers.
Some of her videos get millions of views.
And this video has tens of millions- What is fucking wrong with the way he's talking?
Why is he talking like that?
I think this is like... I think he's talking like the...
The early internet, um, advice guys, like financial advice guys.
Like he looks, he's like the guy with the suit with the dollar bills all over it.
Matthew Lesko.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's doing that kind of delivery.
He's doing kind of like a straight forward to the point.
Yeah, exactly.
It is a commercial delivery.
It's a very, yeah, it does sound like Matthew Lesko now that you say that.
Two government programs to prevent your daughter from disrespecting you online.
Yeah.
Just a thing that's really important about this video, too, is her video was I think maybe like a three minute long video telling the story.
His response is 10 minutes long.
Just I don't know if that puts anything in perspective.
Yeah.

It's just insane.
Oh, I forgot.
He is an ad guy.
This makes sense then.
He's going to talk about money.
That's how he has money.
Is because he like has a whatever advertising firm or something.
So he's grinding.
Well, he did say he woke up at six to start work.
Wow.
I mean, we were already awake two hours.
The real, the real movers and shakers in this country were already awake two hours before that, but go off.
How you can find more hours in your day to be productive by simply abandoning your family.
Split your one day into three by having no no ties to your previous life.
Well, I thought I'd better watch this video.
And frankly, I was pretty chagrined by what I heard.
She was so easy on you, dude.
Yeah.
Man.
The worst thing you could have done is provide an unvarnished look at who you are to the internet.
To say the least.
But honestly, the more I watch this video, the more I like it.
Well, I like about 98% of it.
However, I do need to correct a few statements in the video.
But first, let's just watch Matty's 90 second video.
And then I'll give you my comments.
What's a piece of trauma that you have that's funny?
It has to actually be funny.
I'll go first.
My dad abandoned my family when I was five years old.
That is a wife and four kids.
He abandoned us and then pursued amateur breakdancing.
Some more context is needed here.
Needless to say, I will talk about this in a moment.
All right, let's continue with the video.
And he got really good.
When I explain the trade-off between breakdancing and my family, it's gonna make a lot more sense.
And he says it like it's going to.
Because you're waiting for it.
Because all the reshares I saw of this was like...
A wholesome response from dad, like heartwarming, heartwarming response from dad.
And it's like, what are you talking about?
You're waiting for it.
We'll wait.
We'll wait.
This has 31 million views, 47,000 likes.
And again, we're watching the dad's video.
He's, he's stitched it.
They call, they call it, he stitched his video with hers and we're watching the her section of it.
Good.
He, like, blew up.
Like, he became, like, a D-list celebrity status, like, viral breakdancer.
He became, like, the oldest actively competing breakdancer in the world.
So that, that's his novelty.
His novelty is that he's old.
Yeah, yeah.
It's funny because she, like, she's doing this so well because, like, this, the beginning says, a piece of trauma that's funny.
Dude, she's not even, like, She's being so easy on you.
She's not even mad at you.
If you're mad, it's because she feels bad for you.
He's not mad.
He's 98% laughing, dude.
That's true.
And look at his face.
He's clearly having a good time.
He's looking over at the split screen that's not there.
He's doing such a good job with this.
Then he got on Good Morning America, and talk shows, and Washington Post wrote about him, and he went super viral, and he did all these interviews, and he danced with Paula Abdul, and here, I'll show you.
Let's see, take a look at this 60-year-old breakdancer.
