In Ethan Cole’s series, “Explaining Things To My Grandfather” the young man sits down with his grandfather and teaches him the ins and outs of dating today.
As you can imagine, a lot has changed. Above, watch Ethan explain to Joe what “cockblocking” means, and how Joe and his wife intervene on their grandson’s behalf.
If that’s not enough fun, watch below as Joe learns to sext.
What makes these videos so fun isn’t just the goofy humor, but the relationship that Ethan has with his grandparents. Joe is charming, earnest and obviously loves his grandson a lot. The rapport between them is so genuine and warm—the relationship we all hope our kids can have with their elders.
Watching the whales? In my day it was “watching the submarine races.” I love older people. Very cool and funny as heck.
I love Joe, and I want him to be my grandpa.
