If you saw the thread that was burning up Twitter these last few days (at least before a certain meetup in Washington, D.C.), you read a story almost as long as the six-hour ordeal the dad describes, which began when his daughter wanted some baked beans and the father, John Roderickâaka âBean Dadââtold her to open a can and heat some up.
The problem?
Said daughter, age 9, had never used a can opener, and Dad decided not to show her. He would wait out the whole time it took for the girl (who must not have access to YouTube) to finally, desperately figure the dang thing out.

When the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve the majority of the planet would have breathed a collective sigh of relief and thought ‘thank goodness 2020 is over.’
What was largely perceived as the worst year ever, was in the history books and we could all look forward to health and prosperity in whatever the next 12 months had in store. However, it would appear that 2021 had different ideas in store for us all.
The first few days of this year already have us longing for the greener pastures of 2020 when Covid-19 was the only thing that many of us had to worry. Well, that’s still around and is causing more distress than before and then there is Donald Trump. Even when the man only has a few days left in office, he’s still finding more ways to be as outrageous as ever.

The aforementioned Jennings at one point appeared to be a consensus choice among viewers of the show. But in recent months the one time contestant has had a few bumps in the road. Jennings recently got drawn into a social media quagmire involving John Roderick, a musician now known as #BeanDad. Roderick, a friend who co-hosts a podcast with Jennings, became an online pariah after posting a Twitter thread about refusing to help his hungry young daughter open a can of baked beans. Jennings was slammed for coming to his defense.
He later took to Twitter to apologize after past tweets that he described as unartful and insensitive surfaced online. He added, Sometimes I said dumb things in a dumb way and I want to apologize to people who were (rightfully!) offended. It wasn t my intention to hurt anyone, but that doesn t matter: I screwed up, and I m truly sorry.
