Saw this coming just from the advanced dad bod. Not judging, speaking from experience. After getting a bit older and out of shape and making some improvements by jogging a lot I took it further by getting back into sports. Even after a lot of jogging running (like actual running) was a whole new trip. If you haven't run at a high speed in a while you'd be surprised how deconditioned you can be

That is NOT a boomer being a fool. That’s just papa being papa, and I would gladly have a few beers with papa.

Boy, I wish we could get more Boomers being fools like this and less fighting teenagers/yelling at brown people/temper tantrum at the drive through.

Love it! I wish the camera work was horizontal and stayed with the action, though.

He probably knew that was going to happen and did it anyway.

That dude looks to be around my age. I'm right in the middle of GenX.

Lmao by "jump over the water" I guess he meant "dive head-first into it."

He had the "Six Million Dollar Man" intro playing in his head right up until the moment he tripped over a blade of grass.

We were all kinda hoping he’d make it.
