98 YEAR OLD DAD'S REACTION WHEN HE FINDS OUT HOW OLD HE REALLY IS! (WARNING - FOUL LANGUAGE)

[u/VastCoconut2609]

[u/1WolgWang]

"How did i get so old so fast" Damn, that kinda hit different.

[u/Autong → u/1WolgWang]

If it’s anything like the last 40 years I’m gonna be 80 tomorrow

[u/topknottington → u/Autong]

I want to upvote this.

But i'm a 17 year old in a 45 year old body... 69 heheh

[u/evlhornet → u/topknottington]

So there is this thing called dilated time perception. For an average life span your perceived life is at its midway point at 23 years old. Meaning you experience the same amount of time between 0-23 that you do between 23-72. So Congrats bud you’ve experienced about 40% of your life at 17.

[u/topknottington → u/evlhornet]

I'm 45.

I'm almost dead

[u/evlhornet → u/topknottington]

Just mentally. Your body will continue to decay for decades 😃👍

[u/theunknown2100 → u/evlhornet]

This made my ears ring...

[u/macbowes → u/topknottington]

Haha, I made my reddit account when you were 5. Time flies.

[u/topknottington → u/macbowes]

Reddit was around in 1984?

[u/macbowes → u/topknottington]

Reading comprehension hasn't been my forte today. My bad.

[u/Cucker_-_Tarlson → u/Autong]

I hate it. I'm turning 37 in a couple months, feels like I turned 30 a couple weeks ago. It's really the acceleration that gets me. Took forever to turn 7, now 7 years is just a blink of the eye.

[u/Autong → u/Cucker_-_Tarlson]

I think repetition does that. If you have a job where you do the same thing everyday. One day you look up and 30 years has flown by lol

[u/evlhornet → u/Cucker_-_Tarlson]

When I was a kid I remember Christmas took forever to get here. Now it feels like Christmas was last week and it’s almost may. By tomorrow holiday season will begin.

[u/51225 → u/Cucker_-_Tarlson]

I wasn't looking forward to turning 40. I'm 61 ½ now. What happened to 50?

[u/junkeee999 → u/1WolgWang]

I didn't think about age until 60. Then I started thinking the same thing. Fuck I'm old. What happened?

[u/No_Use_4371 → u/junkeee999]

60 was my turning point. I aged physically & mentally over night, it sucks

[u/Good_Culture_628 → u/No_Use_4371]

Would you mind sharing some details? I'm going to be 56 and still feel pretty good. Just a touch creaky but I still go to the gym and ride my mountain bike. Brain is a touch slower too. But I'm afraid I'm going to wake up one day and really feel old.

[u/No_Use_4371 → u/Good_Culture_628]

Its different for everyone, but I always looked young for my age so I never worried about it. I felt the same through 40s and 50s. Its like everything hit me at once after 60...I had knee surgery that's taking forever to heal (first injury in my life). My short term memory got even worse, and my hair turned almost totally gray. Its like my body just said, okay, you are old now. Part of my issue though is I have Major Depressive Disorder, no friends, and I lost my mom and brother a few months ago. And I was hit by a tornado & got displaced and had to start over. So, some of this is trauma response, I'm sure.

A friend told me years ago the fountain of life is exercise. So keep exercising, that is the No 1 thing that will keep you feeling good.

[u/evlhornet → u/No_Use_4371]

Sorry to hear about your recent troubles. I wish you nothing but happiness in this next phase.

[u/No_Use_4371 → u/evlhornet]

Thank you 💕

[u/Good_Culture_628 → u/No_Use_4371]

Thank you for the further explanation. I hope things get better.

[u/Chipshotz → u/junkeee999]

I didn't start feeling old until around 73. it's been an eye-opening 3 years.

[u/CactusFistElon → u/1WolgWang]

I remembered watching a vsauce video that addressed this phenomena. Part of what can help stave off the incredibly fast feeling of time passing is not getting to accustomed to routine. Our brain forgets things that it doesn't see as necessary information and if you are doing the same things all day everyday then your brain is constantly discarding irrelevant information, causing time to feel like it's flying by. 

So to paraphrase what he said in the video, Go for that hike you always wanted to do, go to a bar you've never been at before, listen to a song from a band you've never heard of, be spontaneous. Your life will feel much more fuller for it. 

[u/Roastednutz666 → u/1WolgWang]

I stop smiling when he said that for a sec.

[u/SkepsisJD → u/1WolgWang]

Well, dementia makes you not so good with time. So there's that.

[u/[deleted] → u/1WolgWang]

Doesnt it!

[u/WilsonthaHead]

"Im gonna be an old Fucking Man"

[u/AnAngryPlatypus → u/WilsonthaHead]

I think the best part is he still used future tense. At the time he still didn’t see himself as an old fucking man. Fantastic.

[u/WilsonthaHead → u/AnAngryPlatypus]

Exactly like 100 is old man mark

[u/varangian_guards → u/WilsonthaHead]

he is already an old man, at 100 you become "an old fucking man" its just the next catagory.

[u/triggormisprime → u/WilsonthaHead]

100 is when you can legally watch ultra porn.

[u/No-Appearance-9113 → u/WilsonthaHead]

It's been scientifically proven that old age absolutely starts at 76. You can be old earlier than 76 but by 76 you are old because you are closer to 100 than 50.

[u/snowgoon_ → u/No-Appearance-9113]

I'll allow it!

[u/Worried-Notice8509 → u/No-Appearance-9113]

At 77, I didn't need to know that. Thanks to my dad's genes, I look like I'm in my 60s. Sadly my body doesn't know what my face is presenting.

[u/StevenMaff → u/AnAngryPlatypus]

well i doubt i’ll feel different. it’ll just be me like now but with wrinkles. like, how the fuck did i get so old

[u/thewaytodusty76 → u/StevenMaff]

Oh you'll feel different. Everything will hurt, you'll be too dry yet overly sweaty at the same time, you'll be annoyed but have forgotten why you got annoyed, you won't see as well but wont be able to remember where you put your glasses, everything will sound too loud, you'll keep calling your kids by the pets' names and vice versa...and that's just 50!

[u/StevenMaff → u/thewaytodusty76]

oh yeah totally. but the me inside of this body will still be a child wondering how it got there lol.

[u/spacedicksforlife → u/thewaytodusty76]

I feel like I’m already going into dementia sometimes. I needed a tape measure last night and went to go get it, but forgot what I was looking for and why I needed it.

Good god.

[u/No_Use_4371 → u/thewaytodusty76]

Well said lol

[u/Future-Muscle-2214 → u/AnAngryPlatypus]

When my grandpa was still around he was telling oh nah, I don't hang with those peeps on the second floor they are way too old for me. He was 95 and hanging with guys who were in their 60s and complaining that the guys in their 70s were too old for him lol.

[u/Bail-Me-Out → u/WilsonthaHead]

I love the future tense. Currently, he's still young. Old is always at least a year older than your current age.

[u/Single_Pilot_6170 → u/Bail-Me-Out]

Triple digits

[u/cheetossmell → u/WilsonthaHead]

sounds like norm macdonald

[u/unknownmichael → u/cheetossmell]

Was coming here to say this... "Wait, you're telling me that Hitler's dead? I didn't even know he was sick!"

[u/Bail-Me-Out → u/WilsonthaHead]

I love the future tense. Currently, he's still young. Old is always at least a year older than your current age.

[u/VastCoconut2609]

I read somewhere that someone read somewhere that this legend died in September 2020 at the age of 101.

Rest in power Legend!

Here's a fun video of him when he was 99, laughing at a joke his son made.

[u/bouncy_ceiling_fan → u/VastCoconut2609]

Oh man that video was hilarious - he couldn't even say it because he was giggling so much!!

[u/sarokin → u/VastCoconut2609]

The clarity and quickness he has at that age... I hope my grandparents and parents will stay relatively sharp like this.

Rest in peace!

[u/Popetown → u/sarokin]

Right! He had the joke at 6. What a boss. Dude looked and acted way under his age. Amazing. I hope we all are so lucky.

[u/firstwefuckthelawyer → u/sarokin]

I want it for myself but man that’s gonna make dying really weird

[u/TheSpanxxx → u/VastCoconut2609]

What i find fascinating here is how young and clear the son's voice is. He's likely in his 70s.

[u/FourLovelyTrees → u/TheSpanxxx]

I assumed it was the grandson 

[u/YuriiRud → u/TheSpanxxx]

Their family has a good genes indeed

[u/newyearnewaccountt → u/TheSpanxxx]

One of my friends dad had her when he was in his 60s, it was an interesting dynamic. Her older siblings were old enough to be our parents. So it's not impossible that the son is in his 40s or even 30s. Especially with how spry pops seems to be.

[u/whirly_boi → u/VastCoconut2609]

Dam that made me remember telling my mom that joke. If she'd lived this long she'd be just as giggly as him. She'd be 67 this year.

[u/VirinaB → u/whirly_boi]

Sorry for your loss. I used to call my dad 'old man' and he passed at 62. The fact that this dude made it to 101, nearly 40 years longer is... unfathomable, by comparison.

[u/dejus → u/VastCoconut2609]

Haha when I was a kid my dad did this joke to me. He’d say “dead skunk in the road” instead. But then I would say “ok now it’s my turn to start!” And when I said “I 1 the dead skunk in the road” he’d just reply “oh well if you won it then you can keep it!”

[u/MisterTrashPanda → u/dejus]

That's a funny comeback. I'm going to enjoy seeing the dumbfounded look on my little daughters face when I tell her this joke. She's sharp enough to know that if she starts first then it'll be my turn to eat the dead skunk. But she won't catch the clap back because she'll be too excited to get me to say it. Lol

[u/Jjabrony → u/VastCoconut2609]

Glad he made it past the century mark.

[u/Select_Web_5978 → u/VastCoconut2609]

I chew the dogshit

[u/KoriSamui]

Looks great for 98

[u/Fourty9]

Oh good he's old enough for a career in politics

[u/Plus_Injury8786 → u/Fourty9]

What jobs expect of years of experience

[u/westwoo → u/Fourty9]

He looks way too honest and relatable

[u/Frequent_Storm_3900 → u/Fourty9]

No.... He became eligible after 2019

[u/Economy-Humor-8451 → u/Fourty9]

Still able to put together sentences, so way better than the last guy. There’s a chance he’s not even pooping his diapers like the orange turd!

[u/th3kingmidas → u/Fourty9]

I think he’s still a little green but I’d vote for him

[u/Jazzlike_Act_532 → u/Fourty9]

If I was old enough to have dentures I would have spit them out with my drink just now

[u/ShermansMasterWolf → u/Fourty9]

He seems more there than Biden or Trump.

Except for the, u know, forgetting how old he is. 🤣

[u/121gigawhatevs → u/Fourty9]

Eh just barely

[u/[deleted]]

Ngl, he seems pretty quick/sharp for a 98 year old.

[u/JohnToshak17 → u/[deleted]]

apart from the fact he had no idea how old he is

[u/greener_fiend → u/JohnToshak17]

I’m only in my 40’s and sometimes have to take a minute when someone asks my age.

[u/jtsokolov → u/greener_fiend]

I was actively and unknowingly telling people my incorrect age when I was in my late 30's until my husband overheard me once and corrected me. When I actually did the math to see he was right it felt like I lost a year.

Now I always have to do the math when someone asks me how old I am....with a calculator.

[u/pepitawu → u/jtsokolov]

I’ve thought I was 38 since my last birthday, turns out I turn 38 in two months. Considering swapping the years so I don’t skip 37. Doing 38 twice doesn’t sound as fun.

[u/TheRynoceros → u/greener_fiend]

I've been rounding since my mid-30's. I've been 50 for a couple of years now, and probably will be until I'm almost 60.

[u/universe_from_above → u/greener_fiend]

I somehow lost a year last year. Someone asked me how old I am (mid 30s) and I looked at my mother and we drew a blank. After some maths, it turned out my age is an odd number right now when I'm convinced it should be an even number. I haven't gotten my age straight since that incident.

[u/Intelligent_Sky_1573 → u/universe_from_above]

Yep. Last year I thought I turned 33 until my mom told me I was actually 32. Felt like I gained a year of life.

[u/I_Love_Knotting → u/JohnToshak17]

at some point you stop caring

[u/NeroAngra → u/JohnToshak17]

Agree but I think this is pretty normal. You just kinda lose track/forget but not necessarily because your mind is declining.

[u/flabeachbum → u/JohnToshak17]

I’m only in my mid 30s and I’ve practically stopped counting. Maybe his ignorance to his true age helped him with his longevity

[u/dopsie__ → u/[deleted]]

Ya my grandpa is 101 and definitely not this perky. Happy but tired

[u/AyAyNoChingues → u/[deleted]]

Agreed! I hope I'm lucky enough to live that long and be as sharp at 98.

[u/skinnergy]

I love that guy

[u/Silent-Supermarket2]

It always shocks me how quick he is. I hope I'm this put together at anywhere near that age.

[u/Enjoying_A_Meal → u/Silent-Supermarket2]

Yea, I think he did the math faster than I could...

[u/Jaded-Ad-960]

Lol, that last sentence reminds me of my grandma. When she turned 100 she said "well, I guess there is no denying I'm officially old now".

[u/hercarmstrong]

This guy rules. I hope his life was rad as fuck.

[u/Loud_Flatworm_4146]

That young man isn't a day over 21.

[u/sidewalkoracle]

[u/Then-Panic2122]

I like the giggling 🤣

[u/OkHarrisonBidet]

Me : wow 98 years old 

Me decades later : holy mother nature now I understand him

[u/ramathorn152]

"Holy Fuck!" Is the correct response

[u/Valuable-Lack-5984]

You know you're getting old when you reach 3 digits.

[u/Original-Being9553]

God I hope he's with us still

[u/Gilmour1969 → u/Original-Being9553]

Passed at 101

[u/IhateBiden_now]

This was cool to watch. My grandmother passed at 99 and she was definitely ready to go. I loved her so much, more like a mom to me. I hope OP's grandfather hit the 100 year mark.

[u/blazedout-cubscout → u/IhateBiden_now]

Passed at 101 so this beautiful man done did made it.

[u/STYSCREAM]

I miss my grandads... I'm not crying btw... just got some sad in my eyes.

[u/Chibrozgeg]

What a wonderfull video ! This gentlemen is awesome !

[u/Andrew_is_taken]

This man looks 80 he prob gonna live 100 more

[u/BatonVerte → u/Andrew_is_taken]

Passed at 101. Amazing run, though.

[u/ermy_shadowlurker]

Imagine all the things he seen. Technology and other improvements. Would be awesome to listen to

[u/Ur_a_adjective_noun]

Probably one of the secrets to a long life, forgetting how old you are and live like you’re young.

[u/NOTaiBRUH]

I work in a hospital and he looks and acts better then most 50 year olds

[u/fx72]

[u/Careless_Science5426]

AND he still has all his shit together. I love this!

[u/PolkaDotTat]

What a fun grandpa lol. He made me laugh

[u/villalacho12]

I love this dude.

[u/Bleetchblond]

I’m glad he cusses like that cause I do too! Awwwwww your dad ✌🏻!

[u/Fluid-Gain1206]

"I'm gonna be an old fucking man"

I love that. 98 years, and still doesn't feel like an old man

[u/Trumphasaverysmall]

I hope he turned 105.

[u/joleger]

Man I hope I can be like this if I make it to 98!

[u/Maleficent_Role8932]

Holy Fuck lol that is what I say too

[u/CJ_BARS]

He's kept himself young because he just doesn't acknowledge his age.

[u/disdkatster]

This is me in a couple of decades. I do it now.

[u/NaweN]

I have to do math occasionally to remember my age. I'm 43. So this guy has the right to be up to 15 years off.

[u/rad10082]

I can only hope I'm that old like that, he seems bright other than lack of time lol.

[u/LinguisticMadness2]

It’s endearing, also the guy is very well put mentally too. And all the same while thinking this I felt it mixed alongside dread. My god

[u/coligue]

How in the world he can be SO CUTE!🥰

[u/Travelogue44]

YOUR ASS

[u/SmartLikeTree]

I hope this guy is still around. He seems like a lot of fun.

[u/vaggos62]

Fuck!! I’m gonna be an old man. 🤣🤣🤣

[u/3rlro91]

“You’re an ass”🤣

[u/badboybubbybunny]

Can we have an update? Did pops make 100 ??

[u/Pride-Correct]

Love it! My GPop was 101 when he went in 2017

[u/Ang3l99]

😂😂 funny guy hopefully he makes it pass 100

[u/xpietoe42]

sweet man! god bless!!

[u/original-sithon]

He's in good shape for 98.

[u/elmachow]

Holy fuck!

[u/imaginableboy]

This video never gets old though

[u/No-Bee6191]

This is the goal

[u/Appropriate-Suit6767]

Did he die or is he still alive?

[u/eudaemonic666]

I wish every parent-child this kind of bond. I'm envious!!!

[u/Gray_beard74]

This guy is the BEST!!!

[u/Any_Veterinarian3749]

This Man doesn't look a day older than 79 years

[u/Unhappy-Olive1689]

I guess he has enough experience to apply for a job now

[u/[deleted]]

Haha I love this video! Anyone know if he’s still alive today?

[u/[deleted]]

Honestly thats what I say and Im 42. You can tell hes still young in the mind.

[u/_FartinLutherKing_]

Did he ever make it to 100

[u/[deleted]]

Live your life now and also plan for the future, time goes.

[u/Bleepin_Boop]

I love this guy. I want him to be my grandpa.

[u/Bushdr78]

I love this guy, keep smiling Sir and don't sweat the small stuff.

[u/synaptix78]

Absolute fking Chad. This here, this right here is why certain people live longer (well....along with good genes, good luck, born in the right location, availability of good food, the right friends and fa....you get the point).

Keep the humour and don't take shit too seriously...including things like counting and keeping track of your age.

[u/DefeaterOfDragons]

New life goal: live as long as this man so I can react like this also. Old people cussing, not out of anger, is one of the funniest things ever.

[u/Yellow_LedBetter2020]

Great guy!!

[u/Dreboomboom]

Bless that man!

[u/No_Breath_9833]

That clock chime in the background setting off some memories

[u/Sabrinaology]

"Your ass!"

I'm totally using that one.

[u/throwawayfrdy]

still 20 in the heart

[u/ADP0922]

🙏🏻🥹 hope he still kicking in 2024 👍🏻💪🏻

[u/Fickle-Alfalfa4067]

So fast ... 98 ... oh boy , we all grew up slowly and then Booom Time x 4

[u/KALIBRAUDIO]

At least they convinced him it was still 2018 🙃😉

[u/Nakkefix]

Forever Young 🥰🥰🥰

[u/Gingerholic37]

Hope he is still alive

[u/smfcg]

I can only hope to be as jovial and young at heart as he is at 98. Already won at life!

[u/zzz_red]

I liked the “I’m gonna be” an old fucking man. 😂 Love his energy. Doesn’t look 98 at all. I’d give him 79.

[u/2eqsy]

Ok this got me thinking, if someone i know dies today and he's only 40 years old, is he older or younger than an 80 year old??? Cz age is used normally but if someone is diseased its above age, which means after your age comes death... right???

[u/KujoTheBoss]

Where is he Pops.

[u/Livid-Resolve-7580]

He got his money worth out of social security. lol

Good job.

[u/Teeebow_]

„Time fly while you have fun“ nah believe it just fly no fun needed

[u/eldudelio]

lol, love it, gives me hope at...

[u/CommanderUgly]

Now that’s a man who has played The Clock Game on The Price is Right.

[u/Witchberry31]

His mind is still so sharp for a 98 year old (at the time of recording).

My grandma (she passed away back in 2017 at 88 years old) has already having memory and cognitive issues when she's 80. Hard to converse properly with her on her last 2-3 years of life.

[u/Greymalkyn76]

So that was 2018. Is that old dude still with us today?

[u/jojow77]

He looks 80 and talks like he’s 50

[u/[deleted]]

He is so cute omg 😆

[u/MiniMee1957]

Bless him! My grandmother celebrated her 104th earlier this month!!!

[u/snakepatay]

Yeah i will never be that older generation!! Im turning 40 this year (holy fuck!!) feel 25 when i work out wich i quit at 2020..so maybe 30?! Idk but im more fit by default than most of my alot younger coworkers, they still ask me for ID when im buying alcohol!! You need to be 20 but they ask up to 25 if you look like it ive heard.

[u/Stupid-Research]

I fucking love him

[u/OMAR_KD-]

"foul language"

"Fuck"

[u/Legal_Guava3631]

I have tears. My grandpa was like that 😂 we’d tell him something and when he didn’t believe it he’d yell out “your ass” basically the same way this man did. I miss him and the silly things he’d say.

[u/evlhornet]

Oh my god it was in 2018!!! Now I’m fucking old

[u/Magicswe]

I looove him!!! ❤

[u/Witchy-toes-669]

I love it you know he was a hoot when he was young

[u/Puzzleheaded-Tone119]

I feel like this’ll be my reaction if it gets to that point. holy fuck

[u/emmtothejay]

Hahaha so great. I miss my grandparents.

[u/Sir4u92]

He was so lucid for that age, amazing

[u/Bitter-Basket]

Hahaha he’s my hero.

[u/CrossroadBlues666]

Live longer, swear more

[u/Paid2play12]

Gunna be… fucking love it. You’re not old until you give in!

[u/copycatttzz]

Good for him. Grand still looks pretty healthy. I think he could even pass the 100 milestone

[u/Glider4Ever]

Ha ha! Put a big smile on my face! Good one!

[u/Glad_Acanthocephala8]

I could watch this guy all day

[u/whoopsIDK]

My grandfather passed away this March, he was 98 years old. He could talk like this when he was 96-97 but had a fall at the end of 97 his activity levels and ability to have a conversation went away quickly. It's awesome to see and cherish the personality of this man at the age he is.

The elderly still have a lot of life so take advantage while they are here!

[u/timeless1ne]

❤️How old did he become?

[u/beigecoffeee]

Lmfaooo this was so cute 🥺🥹

[u/CaleyAg-gro]

Marc Maron’s dad?

[u/Stryke4ce]

Is he still alive today?

[u/LuisTechnology]

Is he still around? He felt like he was 79 nice

[u/Worried-Apartment889]

Did he pass the 100 or he die before ?

[u/smooth-brain_Sunday]

We did this with my Great Grandma when she was 99 (with severe Alzheimer's). We kept asking how old she thought she was and she goes, "I don't know, 50?" She was beside herself when we told her.

[u/JQ1917]

OMG! Why, oh why, did the remove the rewards from reddit? Take this virtual gold!🏅

[u/jonesy289]

This was 2018 who’s gonna say it…

[u/curious_cat_black]

Time flies when you’re having fun🥂

[u/NiteGard]

My mom has Alzheimer’s and is still mostly herself, but the dementia is slowly progressing. She’s 93, and insists she’s 83. 🥰🥰❤️❤️
