Dad Joke #3-Recent Pharaoh Discovery

By Ray Henson

I had envisioned a new joke every Friday, but it turns out I was a little too ambitious. It is tough getting the family together and, you know, this is work. Ha!

This week's video features three generations of Henson men. My son, Joseph, is making his third appearance. My other son, Matthew, is making his reluctant first appearance and is this week's comedian. And joining us for his acting debut is my grandson, Russell! He is a natural!

Without further adieu, here is the Henson Family at work!

Pickleball Dad joke...Kind of

It is apparent that Instagram, with 19,401 views is beating out YouTube at a rate of 140 views to 1. It is making me wonder how these would do on TikTok. My best YouTube Short to date checks in at 2,126 views.

Why does one YouTube Short do well and another poorly? I have no idea, but I am still experimenting.

Make sure you like my videos and subscribe to my channel. Maybe that will help YouTube catch up. 😃

Have a great weekend! ! !

A friend of mine has an agent does a lot on Instagram for business and the results have been incredible. It's where she gets over 90% of her business, both buyers and sellers

Hi Raymond- the wonderful thing about the videos that you're doing is you're also creating fun memories for you and your sons (and grandson!)

Russell is definitely a natural and I am glad that he is beginning to participate in the videos!

Did you have to do a chocolate candy Dad joke Raymond? So now of course that's all that I can think about! Very cute ~

Good morning, Ed Silva. I am beginning to see the benefits of Instagram. I did a "how to" video yesterday and have almost 3,000 views in a day. That is remarkable. A couple of agents that I know are doing those educational videos on TikTok and doing very well too so I may start experimenting there.

I agree, Kathy Streib. We are creating some fun memories. Each of my sons are coming to me with their own jokes they want to try out. I need to get Joseph to do one next.

We did not plan to have him in the video, Brian England. He decided for himself that he was going to be in it. We had no choice. Ha!

Thank you, Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400. I know what you mean. I had to go out and buy some of those chocolates for a prop, then I though, I have to buys some for everyone. Of course, there are some sitting on the nightstand next to our bed. There will be no losing weight this month! 😂

Hi Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker. It is fun to have the family join in with me. I was telling Ed above that I did another video for Instagram yesterday and there have been over 2,700 views in 24 hours. That is a remarkable number given that I am kind of boring.

Thank you, Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP. I try to bring a unique angle to things and I appreciate that I crack you up. BTW-do you know how to catch a unique rabbit? Unique up on it! 🤓 Ok, that is the worst joke I know told to me by one of my employees about 30 years ago. The jokes will get better....maybe!

Raymond Henson, eXp Realty loved the three generations of family.... when you are pushing Daisies they will be replaying these videos and say we hated it when he did it but oh boy we miss him... wish he could do one more of these bad jokes:)Endre

I think you are 100% correct, Endre Barath, Jr. Matthew, in particular, was very reluctant, but I think he enjoyed doing it. Let's hope it is a long time before any of us are pushing daisies, though. I have some big plans for my pickleball career!

Dad jokes always make me laugh. My dad has kept us entertained for many years with his humor.

I watched all the videos, and I have to say...your sons are good sports!

Thank you, Sharon Tara. My sons have been good sports. I may have to get my dad in on the action. It would be fun to make it a four generations of Henson's dad joke.

"Why does one YouTube Short do well and another poorly?"

Like long form videos, blogging posts, any marketing production. Is the content worthwhile and more uploaded keep it coming to grow a channel. is there engagement? The YouTube shorts can be a perfect teaser to wet the appetite and cross promote the long form video channel Ray Henson.
