No, he looks 70, not saying that to be mean, but when Sean Connery was making Bond movies, he was in his 30’s… but he looked like he was 70… so Casey’s dad could be the next 007 I guess?
One of the horrors of getting old is watching your parents get older. Life is hard but try and forgive them and tell them you love them, before it's too late. Peace x
If you assume everyone should love their parents, that's speaking from the privilege of having good parents. Some of us really aren't so fortunate, and are wisest to cut them out of our lives, as should be done with toxic people. It's time to destroy this thing of putting parents on a pedestal. They're just humans. Some are great, many are decent, and some are awful. Just as a toxic co-worker or landlord needn't be forgiven, the same goes for parents, other family, really anyone...
70 is young, as long as you think and feel you’re young! My granny passed away last year at age 98. Stay healthy and lively. Happy birthday Casey’s dad!!!
It’s crazy how much has changed. Has got kids with an s now. He’s living the family life. From snowboarding with the nypd and daily vlogging to now is like wow.
I'll be 70 late this year. I will retire after almost 50 years in radio, television and video production. I really look forward to it. It's time to let the younger generation take over and create amazing things like you do Casey. Still, though, 70, it's surreal.
@En2:P My advice is what we used to say when I was a teen, "Do your own thing." It's almost more true today. The low cost of video equipment and the ability to do things with a laptop I could only dream of in the 1970's, means you can create, create and create. So, just do it. Put it our there and see what happens. Good luck!
I will be honest, I was quite upset that Van wasn't there. But it all looks like it was a good time, and this video gets me thinking wholesome thoughts about my own future and encourages me to just live in the moment.
My Dad died at age 59. In his last few months he told me that his highlights were the years we lived in the uk. He has late 30s then which is my age now. Puts time in perspective. Celebrate your parents every moment you get!
Cherish the time. My mom passed away last Halloween at the age of 79. The visceral realization of age and becoming the elder generation is a mind bender. Happy Birthday to your dad!
Casey….. your Dad is one of the best restaurant guys. I was a young manager back in the day and your Dad helped me figure out my supplies to buy for our restaurant. He was professional and cool. His coffee shop was a pillar of the community in New London. Happy Birthday Barry.
I lost my dad 6 months ago. Call your parents, tell them you love them. I wish I still could. Happy birthday to your pops. I wish you many more years together!
love this content. Love to see casey slowing down and enjoying life and spending time with his kiddos. They just need you man. Glad you are around to make the best of it with them!
Just visited my dad and my entire family in Taiwan - I hadn't seen them in 4 years. After my grandpa and my grandma passed recently, I now only realize how important it is to spend time with my parents now instead of any later. Not only did I grow to be 25 years old, my parents also aged 25 years older. Now, I'm going to prioritize flying back to Taiwan at least twice a year to spend quality time with them.
Time has a knack of sneaking up on us Casey, I clearly remember my 20's like they were yesterday, I feel like I'm 30 but in reality, I'm 60 in 9 years' time...cherish every moment! Happy Birthday, Pops
he looks phenomenal for 70 my goodness wish him nothing but the best as for you Casey. Being 20 years old and watching you since I was 13 I have grown to appreciate your dedication to your family. You have aided me tremendously in my growth as a human being Casey thank you❤️❤️
I'm 41, my parents turned 70 last year. [I also have two young daughters] I can completely relate to the talk about age, getting old, and remembering my parents turning 40. I've had some big moments thinking about it over the last year, and frankly right now I've never been in a better place [this could change, I accept that, but right now, right now is good]. Thanks for this film Casey. It's much appreciated. Onwards to 50 I guess! and still feeling 25 🙂🙂🙂
My dad past away on 1st of Jan. He would be 70 this year too, so this video touched me a lot.. Enjoyed this as I could imagine how we could spend the day…Love your parents as the time together is very limited, realizing it when it is too late! All the best to you dad Casey!
Thanks for sharing your memories ! I just lost my dad last month and your video reminded me of how fortunate I’ve been to make lots of memories with him and my son over the last few years!
Your dad looks great for 70. I turn 38 this year and have been watching your channel for over 7 years now Casey. The moments and memories you capture in your Vlogs are so special. You have beautiful souvenirs to look back on for eternity.
same here. 38 and it feels like casey is somehow part of my life. 😅 no honestly, he's definitely an integral part of our generation and an inspiration for so many of us.
@Jennifer Wolford i dont want to make the same as Casey and i don’t think anyone should, i like his videos though. I said i post everyday like he used too
he looks so peaceful and joyful and independent, he can live his own peaceful life on his own without children accompanying around, i d say this might be one of the most beautiful period in life time, no worries, no have-tos, no illness yet, and with money...
Man your dad doesn’t look a day over 55, sincerely hope (and think) he’ll be here for a long time. My mom died a few months ago at 61, my dads nearing 70, and I’m only 28. Makes me feel old man
My grandad died at 99, thought he'd be around forever. Then realised my parents were mid-70's and I was nearly 50. Massive eye-opener as I'd always focussed on my grandad....
@Bob Smith So true, I feel now that in my 20's I had all the time of the world and did so many things in relative unburdened freedom. Now, with all the complexities and responsibilities to navigate (I am 40) time has accelerated relentless....
Hey Casey, I don't think I've ever seen you address the fact that your music selections are always 🔥 . It'd be fun to hear your take on how you select music in your content.
Keep an eye on your parents as they age, people. My Dad got depressed and started getting dementia and it ended my parents life tragically. Stay tuned in to their lives so you can help if needed.
@Karim Osama Think about the type of egotistical being/deity you're describing. Also that "evidence" you describe is not evidence. Scientists have believed a lot of things that were wrong, too. Science changes its path/mind when that happens. Religion does not. Don't blindly follow something without good evidence. It leads to being taken advantage of in other areas of life as well, because you're basing your belief on nothing but hearsay.
@Nebulana first: you can believe in God by seeing evidence that leads you to this fact "God's existence", just like any other fact, for example scientists didn't see the atom but they believe it exists because of the evidence, and I don't think you have ever seen a cell or an atom before but you believe in them, right? Second: if god is the one who created you that means you have to believe in him and follow his instructions in order to be awarded by going to the heaven, but if you didn't believe and didn't follow his instructions I think it makes sense to not be awarded, am I right?
@Karim Osama It means I don't claim to know. Which no one does, regardless of individual claims. Faith is belief in something with absence of complete evidence. I don't have faith in it. It would be really great if there's an afterlife and I see my family I've lost...but I don't know if that's going to happen etc. And Religion just guilts people into following it because "oh if you don't believe, you won't go to the afterlife and then you can't see mom and dad and your dog sparky again." It's sick how it plays on people's emotions and fears. Like...if that's how God functions if there is a God, then count me out anyhow.
I appreciate this one, Casey. I badly miss my Father. He passed away few mos back and weeks ago should've been his 60th. It still doesn't feel real. There's nothing quite as cruel as the loss of a loved one. But I'm grateful for our memories together. I just wish there were more. Time goes by faster and faster as we get older, so never miss a chance to hug your loved ones , say "I love you" or simply express your love as much as possible.
That was a beautiful, spontaneous vlog, Casey! We all love this type of content. Don't overthink! Besides, these will be beautiful memories in the future! Take care and all the best to your father!
Can't wait to see your dad's 70 to 80 recap, and him sharing all the goodies he stuffs in the next ten years. Super Happy Birthday Barry. You keep laughing!
Enjoy the moments together Casey, someday you wish you have talked more. My dad passed away too early and you never get used to the feeling. It’s a void. Enjoy the love❤
Casey. You are such a talented film maker. I love how you make simple things fun and interesting on video. Something as simple as jumping into a hot tub comes alive in your work. Thank you!
My dad is turning 70 this year too. I've recently had the same visceral moment and the reality is a lot to take in. I'm also grateful for the length of his life so far. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this as well.
My dad passed last year (I’m only 24). I want to be a dad too one day and watching this made me think about about how they’ll never get to meet their grandad. Hug your loved ones while you still can. ❤
Sorry for your father's passing. I was 26 when my dad passed. It still hurts that he left so early. Never got to see my kids. All the things I wished I said to him remain unspoken.
there’s something so satisfying about seeing casey living his life only as true family man. no more hustle hustle, just enjoying his his life, wife and kids. couldn’t more deserved though. love that you’re still taking your time to make these little masterpiecies. (i know this video took some time ‘cus i follow u on the socials and saw you flying with georgie :) )
Lost my dad just over 2 years ago. The only advice I have is to spend more time with him if possible. You’ll miss him a lot more when he’s not around (God forbid). Anyways thanks for sharing these precious moments with us. 😊
Such a nice tribute to your dad. My dad is also 70, I am around your age Casey and I feel those exact same things. I try to tell myself I am not that old but I do feel time passing, people moving closer to the edge, myself included. One thing that really made me at peace with all this is when my daughter was born 2 years ago. I started to feel that I am just a messenger from the past to the future, like we all are.
Casey's dad makes an excellent point which is that our 70 isn't our dad's 70, which isn't our grandfather's 70. This is borne out not only by the actuarial tables but by the lived experience of so many men and women who look better at 70 than their parents did at 50. Casey's dad is a perfect example of this but we can see it playing out not only at younger ages (ever look at high school yearbooks for graduating seniors in the 70s?) but in younger generations as well. I was born in 1990 and I'm happy to say that people graduating from high school now look younger than we did in 2008. This trend is borne out in the actuarial tables, photographic evidence, anecdotal experience, and, god willing, will continue into the indefinite future.
My name is Bruno and I am a great admirer of your work. I have a lot of respect for what you share with all of us in the world. I will be in New York for the first time in May of this year and my girlfriend, who already knows NY very well, asked me what program I would like to do in the city. I told her I would be very happy to meet into Casey around town, even for 10 seconds. It would be a big dream. I wonder what chance I would have to thank you for all the amazing videos that have helped me through the most isolated and difficult times throughout covid and being away from the people I love the most. It will be a great pleasure to meet Casey Neistat in person on my first trip to NY. I apologize for my terrible english. I am from Brazil.
Take in these moments Casey. I have recently lost my father, he was only 56. I will never get the chance to see him play with my kids, nor have him at my wedding. Make the effort to see them more often. You never know when it's going to be the last time you do.
Yes it's an uncomfortable truth, time passes so quick, seing your parents grow old makes you feel this. Makes you also feel how precious the times with them are, and makes you (makes me) feel that there's always an age for something. Like 20's is the age of youth and mistakes, 30's is the age of to slow down and start maybe a family and 40's is the age where you realize what you did with your life, you have (or not) a family and you have a perspective of life and how did it went. Or you have no perspective at all but hangovers last way longer. I'm also on my 40's and man, it all went so quick. I know I've missed some chances, I know what I know and I know how did i ended up here in every aspect of life and the upcoming is unknown, sometimes don't you feel like emptyness? Like not knowing what are you supposed to do next? Not retire in 30 years, but on the meantime. Ahhh well, sorry for this. Happy 70th to your dada Casey! Mine is 73, mum is 83. All the best
Happy Birthday. Your comment that you are going to be 70 hit me because when my Dad passed away (my Mom had already passed), I went through the 'I am next' stage in life. Live a great life everyone. As my Dad would say "Keep moving. When you don't, it's over." Cheer.
Casey, amazing vlog. You have a beautiful family and thank you for sharing this with us. Your father looks amazing @ 70. My father recently passed, and one thing I can share is not to take any moment for granted. Much love Casey, thank you 4 sharing :))
What a video to watch when I was down about turning 70 a few days ago. It’s a good thing that you had that note at the end of video telling your dad 70 isn’t that old. I think 70 is the new 60. Love your videos Casey

The ending is great too, looking back in time, putting the whole story into context. By the way, for a 70 years old guy, your dad does not look old! He looks like 55 or something. Salute to him having 4 children. Nowadays it’s so rare in Europe to have this big of a family.
This was so touching. Yes, my parents are 75. I’ll be 55 this year. My kids are just about grown up. I was recently looking at photos from the 80s when my dad was a solid 16-17 years younger than I am now, and I feel it was yesterday. It goes so fast… Happy Birthday to your pop. 🎂
I will always love how he's respecting his kids' privacy and identity until they're old enough to decide for themselves if they want to be shown. He hides their faces in a very artful and non-distracting way.
If you think 70 is old Casey, I'm going to blow your mind right now. My Mother is 78 & when my her Mother passed she was 92. I'm 57 & I just got my real 1st tattoo. It was a saying my Grandmother always said. You get more with honey, then you do with vinegar. Words to live by IMO. Happy birthday Barry. May God bless you with more. Chris from Missouri
My dad passed away few years back and he was 70 back then. Yeah… people grow old and one day god will take em away! Happy Birthday Casey’s Dad. Wish you good health!
Thanks Casey... I will share your Father's age with him soon, in April... I will expect your family in the snow, yes, in April... Indoors though, Rock and Roll HALL of FAME. Happy Birthday Barry!
I am a completely different person than you are Casey. Different style, different job, different preferences when it comes to lifestyle but I have watched and enjoyed 70-80% of your uploads for more than 10 years. I am 25 now... how time flies by... hahahaha. Anyways all I wanted to say is that I am happy to see you happy with your family. I miss your daily uploads, but weirdly I tell myself its ok since this is what makes him happy, stopping is what he needed to have more time with his family. So not nagging you in the comments for more uploads and dealing with your absence from my everyday routine is like a sacrifice that I am making for a person I don't know (but feel like I have known for more then a decade). We have one thing in common btw.. the love for our family.
Hahaha... What do you have to look forward to now... "I guess the cake". That was hilarious. You're dad is cool. Hope he has many more to come man. I definitely is hard seeing your parents get older.
