T-Minus 501 Days: Florida Suburban Dad

My wife and I have been watching a ton of YouTube about moving to Florida. We came across the Florida Suburban Dad and watched many of his videos. Suburban Dad has several... odd... tattoos on his arms and when we watched his first video, my wife said "Change the video!" but we stuck through the first video and found that we enjoyed what he put together.

Suburban Dad has over 9000 subscribers! I live that he is from upstate New York (because we are too). Something else I like about Suburban Dad is that he doesn't just sit in front of a camera at his kitchen table and talks. He walked around his neighborhood, drove to work, walked down the beach, sits by his pool (or in his pool) and talks. He does sit by his pool and talk a lot, but that is OK - I can imagine me sitting out by the pool talking with people!

Something we notices with all the YouTube videos is people do not tend to think much before they record. They just turn on the camera and ramble. Suburban Dad does suffer from that. IMHO, someone should think about what they want to say, jot down a few ideas, and record with a clock. If the clock says you have talked about a subject for five minutes? You've probably covered the subject and can move on. Instead, youtubers repeat themselves, clarify, make the same points over and over, and circle conversations. It can get annoying. Suburban Dad does this, but... you get to enjoy looking at the beautiful Florida back ground when you get bored hearing the same thing repeated, so, it is OK.

The best video that everyone needs to watch? How he maintains his pool. If you plan to have a pool in Florida? You need to watch this video.

Suburban Dad has a ton of videos and I have only watched a few, but, I look forward to watching more while purging the house.
