Hello Fellow FANs My Father's Youtube channel

[Ultimo Gallos]

Ok so back last year my now 76 year old father discovered Youtube. And he loves it. So earlier this year he asked me how hard it would be to create him a channel. Over the past 5 weeks he has been doing short videos. Right now he is just telling funny and/or heartwarming stories from his life.

Well got a tiny issue,he knows nothing about computers. So I am doing all that stuff for him. His first full video goes up tomorrow at 4:45pm central. We are trying to get him up to 100 subs so he can get a custom URL. Mostly cause it will be easier for him to remember and tell people "Hey go watch me on youtube.com/Whatever we come up with" than the random string of letters and numbers he has right now.

That is his channel. If yall wouldn't mind go sub to him. He is trying his best to keep his videos family friendly. We already have 13 filmed. New ones will go up every Thursday at 4:45pm central. And gonna try to have him here and in the chat for each video premiere.

Thank you all for subbing. I hope yall enjoy "Sit and have a laugh with Pat"

Subb'd

[Ultimo Gallos]

Thank you.

I haven't seen him this excited about something in a long time.

[Ultimo Gallos]

There's the first full video. It premieres at 4:45pm Central today.

Thanks to all of yall that have subbed and liked and all that. He is so excited that every other day he is having me film more stuff.

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

Subbing for sure. I saw your post about this awhile back in the “Little things that made me smile” thread, and it made me smile reading it.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Thanks.

Getting him ready for his annual one week fishing trip right now. Which is why we just shot 3 vids out in the garden and orchard.

"Hey call your Uncle Larry and tell him to watch it today!" "Dad it is easier for me to just email Uncle Larry a link to the video."

"Why not call him and tell him the link?"

Ahh the joys of having elderly parents that know almost nothing about tech that was made after 1978.

Done!

I enjoyed that much more than I thought I would so: subbed. I forgot how nice it is just to have a few minutes relaxing with calm, light hearted stuff.

First couple of minutes in did make me think of making a suggestion of him just slowing down a touch. I don't know if he relaxed a bit or I just got used to his speech, but I didn't have any issues catching what he was saying after a few minutes.

Yea I had told him to slow down some. Figured his accent might be hard for people not use to it to understand.

And subbed.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Thanks for the subs.

Subbed.

My dad also recently discovered youtube after I’ve been telling him about it for 15 years.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Thanks.

Last year in August I got him a roku. Mostly so he could use Netflix. But he discovered Youtube,Weathernation,WWE Network and IWTV.

Most days he watches stuff off the Roku for hours. Then in the evening flips back to DISH to see what is on.

[Ultimo Gallos]

He just hit 50 subs. So a bonus video is premiering Sunday at 12:15pm Central time zone.



This was just a short idea he had and wanted me to film it. I had no clue what he was gonna talk about. And we were out by the minnow pond on the edge of the orchard.

Took 3 times to film it,mostly cause I asked him to maybe "not say f*** 5 times in a under 3 minute video."

EDIT-Yea thought I posted this but I guess I forget. He is trying to not cuss that much. "I want kids to be able to watch these videos". So besides maybe a damn,hell or ass. There so far hasn't been any major cussing.

Hope yall enjoy. And thanks to everyone that subbed,commented and all that other stuff.

This time Pat rants a bit about our local power company and how they handled the recent Hurricane.

[Ultimo Gallos]

And going up tomorrow at 4:45pm Central time is a video we just made.

One of dad's best friends and a great neighbor Frankie Wiggins is in bad shape. He is 61 and was healthy. Then a bit over 3 weeks ago him and all his family that lives with him caught Covid. Frankie's wife and father in law had gotten the vaccine months ago. Frankie didn't get the vaxx.

After 3 days Frankie was having major trouble breathing. He was rushed to Natchez ,put in the ICU and on a vent. Days after that his kidneys stopped working. So he is now on a machine for that. He keeps getting worse off.

So Dad wanted to do a vid asking for people to keep Frankie in their prayers/thoughts.

I know it was a hard video for him to do.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Well Frankie is still in the hospital. But he is having to be given blood. We learned most hospitals are short on blood. So Dad is asking anyone that can please go donate some blood in Frankie Wiggins name.



Plus a bit of boat advice.

[Ultimo Gallos]

I am proud of Dad. We managed to do this video in one take. And I know it was extremely hard for him to do. Frankie was like a brother to dad.

There is a direct link to the GoFundMe,Frankie's family set up. All the money will be used for medical bills and funeral costs.

[Ultimo Gallos]

Wow I feel off in updating this thread

Rather the final post not be a downer,RIP Frankie.

So after the last post here Dad kept making videos. One a week for a good bit. He told me he thought he had run out of stuff to talk about. So we put the series on hiatus.

Last fall/early winter in the span of 9 days he

Had a heart attack. So had a stint put in the so called widowmaker artery.
Then next day had a pacemaker put in.
Got released from Hospital,drove himself home. Rested one day. Went to a local indie show the next day and helped run my table.
Sunday/early Monday at 2am tells me "hey not feeling great run me to the local hospital."

On the drive,it is 14 minutes tops we got to a red light and he told me "f*** THE TICKET RUN THE LIGHT"

Which caused me to worry more. I ran the light got him to the hospital and an hour later they decided to rush him up to Jackson. Seems his gall bladder needed to be removed. But he was so full of infection they tried to get rid of that first.
Gall bladder gets removed and days later he comes home.

He is healed up now. Back to his normal routine. And asked if we could "Just film episodes when I got something I want to talk about."



He explains in the video how he learned about bats and why he wants bat houses on the property.

As I said back when I started this thread,trying to get him to 100 subs so he gets a custom URL. Last check he is at 68 subs,which when I told him this made him crack a 69 joke (the man is 79 now and still sometimes has the mind of a 16 year old LOL) So if you got a youtube account go sub to Sit and Have a Laugh with Pat.

[Ultimo Gallos]

As explained in the vid Dad named this place Magnolia Point. Him and mom have wanted a big sign out on the front part of the land saying this.

And since this video was filmedd and uploaded,it went live last week on Thursday,he has dug the holes for the sign up front and has it all ready. Now waiting on the neighbor with a tractor to come over to lift the poles and sign.

Also Language warning near the end of this video Dad says SHIT. The man cusses often. But has tried his best when doing these vids to not say much above a hell,damn or ass. When we watchedd the footage he asked me "Is Youtube gonna fine me for saying Shit?" Told him nope. "Well next time bleep it ok"
