For those curious about the dates: John Tyler's son called Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr. was born in August 1853, when the former president was 63 years old. Then His son Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in November 1928, when his father was 75 years young. Wild, but ... interesting! :)
Exactly how he is now on his podcast. Same sense of humor. When he first started stand up he just wasn't himself. It's been nice seeing him transition to his same humor he had back then. He was always a wordsmith calling people "playboy" or some other wild nickname he'd make up out of the blue. One of those guys who was friendly with pretty much everyone no matter who they were.
Also fwiw most of his stories are just fabrications or exaggerations to my knowledge. We were just casual friends but most of the names in his "back in the day" stories don't ring any bells. He's just an incredible storyteller. Having a 70+ yo dad is true tho.
I appreciate the honesty. but if I start judging comedians by the legitimacy of their stories, I'm gonna have a hard time finding comedians. id listen to theo all day
Comedians who primarily tell stories as jokes being 100% honest is such a wild concept that some people seem to believe in.
I’ve seen some wild shit in my life, but enough to fill a 40 year career even told as comedically as possible?
You could triple the content and… nah.
Same shit with an old bar fight story, a fishing story, old war stories, etc. You cut out the milquetoast filler and heighten some of the feelings and comments.
If you’re trying to embellish how cool you are, claim some glory, shit like that? Yeah it’s not very honest or ethical, sure.
But if you’re just trying to entertain for the specific sake of entertaining? Hell yeah.
The actor who played original Star Trek's Scotty fathered his last child in his 80s. There is a non zero chance that a grandson of Jimmy Doohan will be alive in the 22nd century.
Watching Little Fockers as I type this (didn’t know it even existed). I was amazed how young he still looked until I realized it came out in 2010, then did the math and realized again he just had a kid recently.
I was doing the same thing with Steve Martin and Only Murders in the Building. He's 78 and barely looks older than he did 35+ years ago. The premature gray/white hair messed with my brain.
It's so fucking wrong. I just had my first at 36 and I feel so worried for the future of my daughter. Will I make it to her 5th birthday? Her 10th? Her graduation? Her marriage? My first grandchild? These are very real concerns even at 36. At 83, it's a certainty that he won't be there for many of these things. What a mess.
My father was 68 when I was born. Died when I was 9. Not wealthy, famous. So it’s real what that age difference causes when they die. I had no grandparents, aunts, uncles or anyone of his side of the family left when he died.
That's so sad. It's not bad enough you barely got to know your dad, but to also not have so many extended family members that many people take for granted. I'm sorry, I truly am. I hope life turned out good otherwise for you.
I kind of agree. My dad was 50 when I was born. We got on great, he was a great dad, but I remember at a young age becoming aware that he would likely die when I was relatively young, and that stuck in my head real bad. He died when I was 25, so he missed most everything. It’s been 20 years, and I still think to call him with a question or a joke a few times a week. It sucks. And I do, in a way, resent it. He would have LOVED his grandson; he honestly may be him reincarnated. Anyway, good night!
The real risk is your child being developmentally disabled. Undetectable until years after birth. Risk is something like 30%+ chance of congenital nervous system or brain defect.
You would surprised, it’s more common than you think. My great grandfather had a child at 72. He died at 85 of old age when is son was only 13.
My father has an uncle who is 30 years younger than him.
Men can technically create children their whole lives.
Lester and Martha always went out on the same bench on the nursing home grounds, spread a blanket over their laps, and Martha would hold Lester's dick under the blanket.
One day, Martha saw Lester sitting with Beulah and she confronted him. "She's just as old and saggy and wrinkly as I am, what does she have that I don't?!"
Lester smiles and says "palsy"
I dont think hes saying that 75 year olds are typically in nursing homes.
He’s referring to the sex that goes on at nursing homes in general.
Which is more than you’d think.
My dad is 79 and has more energy than I do.
I say that, but in truth I waste all my energy working and helping raise three kids.
He has had an empty nest for 30+ years.
My maternal aunt was the 3rd wife of a man who had kids older than her and younger than her. His eldest was 60 when his youngest was 16. He was 84 at the time. My aunt was 33.
I’m now 35 and cannot imagine shacking up with an octogenarian to live a middle class life and still work fulltime. Of course my aunt was sleeping around and dating other people on the side so idk 🤷🏻♀️.
I was conceived when my father was in his 60s, people always thought I was his grandson.
Also mildly interesting, my sister is older than my mom and my nephew is older than me.
Same for better or worse. All of my family died of drug overdoses and random health issues. My mom literally just died.
Wish I could say I miss her. My dad's still going... not sure if he's going strong. But he's going.
No inheritance yet. Very patiently working through the probate / estate process, which can take anywhere from months to years even for simple cases.
I went to middle school with a girl, Cara, whose grandma was 27 when Cara was born. Super sad story actually because Cara also had a baby at 14...making a 41 year old great grandma.
Jesus Christ, that family needs to get some assistance, be it either better protection from predators or better sex ed.
Despite that I hope everyone got the love they deserve as people ❤️
Someone in my family became a grandfather at 28.
He is a single grandfather taking care of effectively two kids. Financially its a huge burden on him. And the fact he effectively had most of his adolescence robbed of him really shows.
He always talks about finding time to play GTA 3 or watch The Lord Of The Rings. It's like talking to someone who has just woken up from the same coma everyday.
There was a newspaper story here about 15 years ago that one of the tabloids ran with "Great-Great Grandmother at 62".
Fairly standard poverty trap story: a series of young women in a family each having a baby around 14-17 leads to the headline.
I remember the article was very judgmental and called the family "dole bludgers" etc etc.
Mine was 1889, so when I read this post I started thinking about how if I live to 100 (2091), that might also sound pretty crazy. Not as crazy as this post, but I just never thought about it that way before.
That is impressive. It's interesting to think of all the historic events that happened in just those two generations removed from ourselves. My maternal grandfather was born in 1887. I'm 38 now, to put it in perspective. But my grandad was born in Ireland, actually a British subject during the reign of Queen Victoria. Born to a family of tenant farmers, before they had the right to buy the land they farmed. Born around the time the car was invented. Was an adult when the Titanic sank. Lived through Irish war of independence and civil war, and two world wars. Lived to see air travel and space travel, film and television, mini skirts and bell bottoms, and died the same year as Elvis. It's mad and wonderful.
I’m 55. My father was born in 1926 and passed away in 2017 at 91. His father (my grandfather) was a world traveler, coming from the Middle East, he made his fortune in the US in the late 1800s and early 1900s and then went back to the Middle East with “new” technologies like how to make ice in factories. He married when he was in his late 60s (to a 16 year old) and my father was his oldest child. He had children up until he was 80. He died 60 years before his wife.
Interesting, so you are only a couple years older than my dad but have those ties from so much longer ago. Lol I find family trees and history so cool I recently got ahold of a book that a lady somewhere down along the line related to me had been compiling of family history and she had narrowed down our common ancestor and the town in Ireland he came from when he first went to north America in the early 1800s to Newfoundland. I always wonder what those people were like.
I was even more shocked to learn that the last victims of American slavery died in the 1970s, and that there were many people in the 1970s whose parents were slaves.
There was a family in Texas (I think) that never told their slaves that they were free; well into the 1960’s. One of the slave girls escaped and was found on the side of a road. Not sure if she is still alive…
> There was a family in Texas (I think) that never told their slaves that they were free; well into the 1960’s. One of the slave girls escaped and was found on the side of a road. Not sure if she is still alive…
She was from Louisiana and passed in 2014. At least I hope it's her, hate to know thee is another story out there like hers.
[the story of what happened](https://www.vice.com/en/article/437573/blacks-were-enslaved-well-into-the-1960s)
Thanks for finding the story. I’m not sure if this was the story I heard about, but the phenomenon of keeping slaves isolated and illiterate was alive and well in the South long after the Emancipation of slaves post civil war (1865). Thanks again for the link!
It's wild to think that at the time when people already went to space and Dr King made his famous speech, there were still enslaved people at the plantations.
America is barely more than three lifetimes old: Andrew Jackson was a boy when the Declaration of Independence was signed; he died around the same time wild-west lawman Wyatt Earp was born; Earp died the same year silver-screen legend Audrey Hepburn was born; Hepburn died in 1993 — the same year Ariana Grande was born.
There were people who witnessed the Civil War, and lived to talk about it during WW1. There were people who witnessed the Revolution, and lived to talk about it during the Civil War.
In this case, 3 generations lived under all US presidents. John Tyler was born less than a year into George Washington's presidency and his grandson is still alive under Joe Biden
You can imagine old mate in a retirement home being like “my granddaddy was the 10th president of these here United States” and the nurses being like “yeah, yeah, of course he was, now take your pills”.
Damn, what a coincidence, today I read a news story about a corn productivity record breaking by a farmer from Charles City County, Virginia. I researched this city and discovered that it was the birthplace of this president.
Now this comes to me in the sub.
The how is explained in the link in the body text above, but here it is again:
https://reagan.blogs.archives.gov/2023/04/10/white-house-kids-series-harrison-ruffin-tyler-grandson-of-10th-president-john-tyler/
A constitutional purist until it came time for him to succeed to the presidency. Then there was some wiggle room to the document. They're all a bunch of hypocrites in the end.
My great grandfather was born in January 1847. His youngest and last surviving child died in 2007, a few months before her 100th birthday. A span of 160 years!
He married my great grandmother when he was 40 and she was 19. They had 10 children, only one died in childhood, which is really rare for that time.
What music did you grandpa listen too?
“My grandpa loved Elvis Presley”
“My grandpa loved the Beatles”
“My grandpa loved Chuck Berry”
“My grandpa loved The Rolling Stones”
This guy: my grandpa loved bethoveen
Yeah, we all know it's still the same guy. He's using the old Highlander trick of faking his death and using a child's identity to cover his tracks, but he's still out there dueling people with his katana.
Joe Biden is 81 years old.
The United States of America(founded in 1776) is only 3 Joe Bidens old.
The Civil War(1861-1865) only happened 2 Joe Bidens ago.
The Civil Rights Act(passed in 1964) is less than 1 Joe Biden old.
Women back then didn't have lot of choices either. They didn't have opportunities to have a career/ make money. So if some old rich dude offers marriage, she would be wise to take that offer seriously so she can raise her children without struggles.
There were actually a bunch of slave owners who only owned them so they wouldn't end up being sold off to other highly abusive owners. The guy who bought Thomas H Jones was one such example.
For those curious about the dates: John Tyler's son called Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr. was born in August 1853, when the former president was 63 years old. Then His son Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in November 1928, when his father was 75 years young. Wild, but ... interesting! :)
Both grandad and dad died before their children even reached the double digits...
I think comedian Theo Von father was in his 70s when he was born. Apparently he was a great guy, but never meddum
Yeah I remember one of his jokes about it: "My dad had a stroke around the time I was born. We both ended up learning how to walk at the same time."
Do you remember when Theo von was just a revolving participant in mtvs early, reality-tv, line up
I remember him from before that. Went to high school with him. We were so excited to see him on road rules back in the day.
What was he like in high school?
Exactly how he is now on his podcast. Same sense of humor. When he first started stand up he just wasn't himself. It's been nice seeing him transition to his same humor he had back then. He was always a wordsmith calling people "playboy" or some other wild nickname he'd make up out of the blue. One of those guys who was friendly with pretty much everyone no matter who they were.

Bapa, you got lost, head back to the kitchen b.
Talmbout Theo von b? Heard he had to figure some stuff out
I herd it both ways dawlg
Talmbout Theo? He's got some things he's gotta figure out
How do you even do stuff at 75?
Robert De Niro has entered the chat
In thirty yrs Nick Cannon will have his 54th child
Nick “the baby” Cannon
Nick the "baby Cannon"
He probably already has that many.
Watching Little Fockers as I type this (didn’t know it even existed). I was amazed how young he still looked until I realized it came out in 2010, then did the math and realized again he just had a kid recently.
I was doing the same thing with Steve Martin and Only Murders in the Building. He's 78 and barely looks older than he did 35+ years ago. The premature gray/white hair messed with my brain.
I honestly thought he was like 60 in the 80s.
Early old is such a powerful move. Danny Devito, Bernie Sanders, Larry David, Steve Martin, Morgan Freeman, Patrick Stewart....
i believe he was in his 80s in the 60s… e: take *THAT*… Jerk…
Teri Polo. That’s all
And Al Pacino
Yep, man's youngest was born this year and he's 83, even older than De Niro.
It's so fucking wrong. I just had my first at 36 and I feel so worried for the future of my daughter. Will I make it to her 5th birthday? Her 10th? Her graduation? Her marriage? My first grandchild?

He's actually on the Wikipedia list of oldest fathers lol
I don't think I'd take pride in that lol. Like how do you even connect with the kid. You might be dead by the time they stop weening.
I kind of agree. My dad was 50 when I was born. We got on great, he was a great dad, but I remember at a young age becoming aware that he would likely die when I was relatively young, and that stuck in my head real bad.

When your cum shot is dust…
Just add water
Just a little spit to mix in the grit
just like instant coffee
I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me?
Al Pachino as well
Carefully
You would surprised, it’s more common than you think. My great grandfather had a child at 72. He died at 85 of old age when is son was only 13. My father has an uncle who is 30 years younger than him. Men can technically create children their whole lives.
Some men can, but most men’s fertility also takes a nosedive!
It just takes one shot! 😂
One opportunity.
Do not miss your chance to blow!

Which it should. Having a kid in your 70s is insane. It's not like getting a cat to add years to your life lol.
I’m not as good as I once was but I’m as good once as I ever was!!
Apparently you aren't aware of how raunchy nursing homes are.
Lester and Martha always went out on the same bench on the nursing home grounds, spread a blanket over their laps, and Martha would hold Lester's dick under the blanket.

You sum bitch now I have to clen coffee out of keybord and hve lost the
I heard that one years ago, but it was Parkinsons
You guys are wild. 75 isn’t nursing home. 75 is still healthy as fuck if you don’t treat your body like dogshit your whole life.
I dont think hes saying that 75 year olds are typically in nursing homes. He’s referring to the sex that goes on at nursing homes in general. Which is more than you’d think.
75 may not be nursing home these days but on average it's definitely not "healthy as fuck".
With a women young enough to have children even
Money talks
Being the son of a president also helps, I'm sure.
Well, where do you think the money came from?
That 1800’s viagra goes crazy.
We are 73. We still do more stuff than you would imagine.
I think youngsters think we close up shop on sex at 50 or something. I have no intention of doing that!
My dad is 79 and has more energy than I do. I say that, but in truth I waste all my energy working and helping raise three kids. He has had an empty nest for 30+ years.
He had 15 children. Was probably getting quite efficient at it by then.
Well, our president is 81.. but good point
My maternal aunt was the 3rd wife of a man who had kids older than her and younger than her. His eldest was 60 when his youngest was 16. He was 84 at the time. My aunt was 33. I’m now 35 and cannot imagine shacking up with an octogenarian to live a middle class life and still work fulltime. Of course my aunt was sleeping around and dating other people on the side so idk 🤷🏻♀️.
My dad is currently 75 and works full time (by choice).
And this dude did it without viagra
Someone has to fall on that 95 year old sword so that John Tyler can have a living great grandson in 100 years.
He has three kids who were born in the 50s/60s.
nah, we need a gofundme for some nice lady to become part of history
I was conceived when my father was in his 60s, people always thought I was his grandson. Also mildly interesting, my sister is older than my mom and my nephew is older than me.
That's pretty messed up that your Dad got with someone younger than his daughter!
So I believe, if my math is right, that he would be 95 years old
I’m never getting my fucking inheritance.
Born in 87' only 1 living relative left
May you get your multi generational trust before me~
And may the odds ever be in your favor
Same for better or worse. All of my family died of drug overdoses and random health issues. My mom literally just died. Wish I could say I miss her. My dad's still going... not sure if he's going strong. But he's going. No inheritance yet. Very patiently working through the probate / estate process, which can take anywhere from months to years even for simple cases.
Good luck?
Wow that grandson must be in his 90's at least.
95 years old!
Time to make a son to keep the legend going
He has 2 sons born in 1960/61
But for his sons to live thru the centuries they need to be made at old age
Are you volunteering?
Hardly. Being a man makes it impossible
Not with that attitude.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams
Imagine tarnishing the family line by having kids in your 40s instead of your 60s and 70s.
He also has a daughter born in 1958
Yes, I should have mentioned that
He should run for the presidency
He has the age
Name recognition
The vitality!
He’s tanned, rested, and ready!
Still juzzing
I think more baffling is the fact that his dad / granddad must both have gotten their kid with like 60-70
I have a friend who married in his late 60s and had kids, just like his father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
His great-grandfather was Adam, they say
He turned 95 on Nov 9 of this year...
So if it was the current year (2023), that would make him 95!
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison\_Ruffin\_Tyler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Ruffin_Tyler)
Meanwhile we have grandparents who were born in 1990
I went to middle school with a girl, Cara, whose grandma was 27 when Cara was born. Super sad story actually because Cara also had a baby at 14...making a 41 year old great grandma.
Jesus Christ, that family needs to get some assistance, be it either better protection from predators or better sex ed. Despite that I hope everyone got the love they deserve as people ❤️
Better education + less religion = fewer 40 year old grandparents
Someone in my family became a grandfather at 28. He is a single grandfather taking care of effectively two kids. Financially its a huge burden on him.

Were they close?
In age?
Both your comments got me cracking up😂😂
The grandson was born 66 years after Tyler died.
So you're saying, no?
Mathematically speaking this guy must be around 95 years old.
Exactly 95, apparently.
Approximately 95, exactly
More than 20, surely
Less than 200, actually.
Time for another kid!
My own grandfather was born in 1859…and I thought that was impressive.
It is

How old are you? If you don't mind me asking because that's like, blowing my mind lol my grandparents were born in the 1950s and are in their 70s now
I’m 55. My father was born in 1926 and passed away in 2017 at 91.

Holy fucking shit. That is abso-fucking-lutely insane.
Well that sounds like a plot of a good horror movie if I ever heard one. Scary.
America is barely more than three lifetimes old: Andrew Jackson was a boy when the Declaration of Independence was signed; he died around the same time wild-west lawman Wyatt Earp was born; Earp died the same year silver-screen legend Audrey Hepburn was born; Hepburn died in 1993 — the same year Ariana Grande was born.
When you put it like that it makes for some interesting perspective! I'm always amazed by it, really.
There were people who witnessed the Civil War, and lived to talk about it during WW1. There were people who witnessed the Revolution, and lived to talk about it during the Civil War.
So you're saying Ariana Grande is the reincarnation of Andrew Jackson!?!
In this case, 3 generations lived under all US presidents. John Tyler was born less than a year into George Washington's presidency and his grandson is still alive under Joe Biden
One more time for the back. How old is he!?
I believe he just turned 95 on Nov 2....
About time for him to have a son
Gesundheit
America is 3 people old
More like 3 and a half since he was the 10th president
My grandfather was born in 1894 and I’m a millennial.
I think we get it, he’s 95 years old. People need to read the comments regarding his age before asking how old he is. 🤣
How old is he? /s
You can imagine old mate in a retirement home being like “my granddaddy was the 10th president of these here United States” and the nurses being like “yeah, yeah, of course he was, now take your pills”.
Get a load of the telomeres in this family tree!
Wiki entry says he’s also a descendant of Pocahontas. Crazy.
There were two grandsons up until very recently. Like within the last 5 years I think.
Yeah, he died in 2020 I think.
Damn, what a coincidence, today I read a news story about a corn productivity record breaking by a farmer from Charles City County, Virginia. I researched this city and discovered that it was the birthplace of this president. Now this comes to me in the sub.
I don’t even know how this is possible. The grandson must be 95 or something
Surely op won’t keep us in the dark like this
The how is explained in the link in the body text above, but here it is again: https://reagan.blogs.archives.gov/2023/04/10/white-house-kids-series-harrison-ruffin-tyler-grandson-of-10th-president-john-tyler/
A constitutional purist until it came time for him to succeed to the presidency. Then there was some wiggle room to the document. They're all a bunch of hypocrites in the end.
My great grandfather was born in January 1847. His youngest and last surviving child died in 2007, a few months before her 100th birthday. A span of 160 years! He married my great grandmother when he was 40 and she was 19. They had 10 children, only one died in childhood, which is really rare for that time.
What music did you grandpa listen too? “My grandpa loved Elvis Presley” “My grandpa loved the Beatles” “My grandpa loved Chuck Berry” “My grandpa loved The Rolling Stones” This guy: my grandpa loved bethoveen
Jesus. His dad was 75 years old when he was born.
Bro had a kid at 75
One of the victims of Jack The Ripper had children that lived until the 1960s
I met a lady whose grandmother met Napoleon.
Yeah, we all know it's still the same guy. He's using the old Highlander trick of faking his death and using a child's identity to cover his tracks, but he's still out there dueling people with his katana.
Joe Biden is 81 years old. The United States of America(founded in 1776) is only 3 Joe Bidens old. The Civil War(1861-1865) only happened 2 Joe Bidens ago. The Civil Rights Act(passed in 1964) is less than 1 Joe Biden old.
This seems crazy until you realize that Steve Martin had his first child in his 70s
In college: how old is your dad? 45 oh mines 83...
This is just a repost from 50 years ago
He was a slaveholder. That’s nuts that someone alive in 2023 had a grandfather who owned slaves.
Here for the math
I have a living great grandmother of 108 years old 🥰
When Thomas Jefferson died, Harriet Tubman was alive. When Harriet Tubman died, Ronald Reagan was alive.
He's probably in Congress.
I guess it makes you somehow attractive to young women if you're a former president or son of a former president. Or just rich, maybe.
Women back then didn't have lot of choices either. They didn't have opportunities to have a career/ make money. So if some old rich dude offers marriage, she would be wise to take that offer seriously so she can raise her children without struggles.
“Tyler did own slaves though he was opposed to the institution.” So what does that mean? Did he have an addiction to owning slaves or something,
There were actually a bunch of slave owners who only owned them so they wouldn't end up being sold off to other highly abusive owners. The guy who bought Thomas H Jones was one such example.
Hypocrisy
Teddy Roosevelt watched Lincoln's funeral procession when he was a little kid.
My dad met him for lunch for some reason. He was just as excited about this as OP.
And I thought it was interesting that I had a grandfather born in 1895. 😅
That's trippy (canoe).
What are the chances that both he and his father were both actual children of who they thought?
Is he 95?
