we’re back in North Carolina and I’ve already had a fishing accident I’m David for Marlin let’s talk about that good mythical morning you getting their attention this episode is brought to you by blue microphone we’re actually traveling with the Yeti blue microphone which is right here in front of my mouth so nice we’re actually in our old French classroom or I took with three years of French between well six years of French between the two of us and we never had a class together but we are in that room right now harness central high school good mythical morning and you were watching from the comfort of wherever you’re comfortable having a mythical morning no matter what time of day it is so thanks for joining us we’re continuing the experiment of having good mythical morning while on the road that’s right North Carolina Harnett Central High School our old French room which is now coach gauges instrument class yeah it used to be across the hall over there he was coach gage was our teacher he things have changed ask about coach just not the same well and there’s no classes not in session I think school is well now school is out as of just like today they just went home they’ll be back tomorrow I don’t know I don’t ask questions about this but what are we doing back home why are we in North Carolina believe it or not and we’re getting first of all we’re gonna be here all week we’re gonna be broadcasting all week from this classroom yes we’re back because for whatever reason we were asked to deliver the commencement address for our high schools graduation and just to clarify we graduated from high school many years ago 1996 to blow your pants off oh so you’re saying they it’s not like we’re the valedictorians come in right we’re not graduating from high school right now we’re not high school students we’re coming back to deliver the commencement address I don’t think anybody thought that oh I actually thought that I’m kind of regressing back I feels very weird to be back here after so many years of not being here seeing familiar faces like coach gage and a couple of other people helped but it’s still weird and I think I’m a little keyed up about the fact that we’re giving the commencement address that I sense a lot of pressure to meet expectations but yet I have no clue what those expectations are do they expect us to be funny do they expect us to be groundbreaking ly challenging well the interesting thing is if you grab the program yeah we’ve already seen the program we’re in here it says commencement address foundations is then is the name of our of our speech but and I just talked to the lady who helped to organize this and I said foundations where’d you get that from she said you sent it to me in an email I was like no I didn’t I think I you did you didn’t use the word foundations I we wrote the speech yesterday I haven’t yeah I haven’t sent it to her and I we didn’t know what we’re going to talk about but it’s called foundations just in case you want to know it’s really not about foundations but the speech is called foundations that’s what people are going to see in the program I think that if you’re doing a commencement program it fills in things like you could either use Latin or just random words and that was the random generator for our commencement address we should change our commencement address and go with that the theme is foundation it’s going to be all about foundations okay but we are going to record us doing the commencement address and while it happens yes and that will be uploaded to our main YouTube channel if it turns out okay or if it turns out really horribly it’s like the worst fail ever we will upload that because that has equal chance of going viral as doing really well yeah so be looking for that on our main channel and if you don’t see it it means that it was I think it was a disaster and we decided not to show you it so I think over the course of this week as we broadcast from harness Central High School our alma mater you know what will be will be taking trips down memory lane but for a start I thought it’d be good just to talk about coming back home to North Carolina having been gone a year now we’ve come back a few times to visit yeah for for the holidays and things like that but it this being a little bit different you know settling into life in LA yeah well it is it I’ve only been in LA for a year and I’ve realized how use I’ve gotten used to things I have gotten young people there are a lot of people in Los Angeles is crawling everywhere we just got we got in recently and one of the first things we did was my wife and I and my kids we all went to hung out with my brother his wife and his kids and we went to like one of those fun part things that has a personal had a roller skating rink so I got to put on the old roller skates actually I don’t have old roller skates I just rent them I just rent them from you did it I did that you risk back injury for that yeah of Quiana I such chance to roller skate I’m going to take advantage of that I did that for a little bit and the thing that was struck we poor kids off crack there was no one there there’s a few people in the roller skating rink but then we went out to the go-karts we had the go-karts to ourselves literally we had to get an employee from inside to come out and turn him on so he could use him then we went to the putt-putt course again we had to get an employee to come and give us we were the only ones in the putt-putt course and then there was this did you reserve a private part no there’s nobody in North Carolina it like if you go someplace wins you know middle of the week on a afternoon no one is there and I was telling a guy that came with my brother I was like you know if this was Los Angeles there would be a thousand kids like yeah we in order to like play putt-putt you’d have to like go through the kids and like move them like move them apart like waters in order just to get to the hole but here we had the whole place to ourselves there’s nobody here and but that’s a good thing right but it’s just a different thing it’s frightening it was like the apocalypse had happened it was very post-apocalyptic was like all right the world’s economy is shut down let’s go play putt-putt er the old putt-putt course no no that’s not the case you’re just in North Carolina again right so you adopt that new mentality now I did not get to do any go-karts yet I would I would have liked to have done that he would have like invited me oh you weren’t invited well I was I was in Kinston North Carolina with my in-laws anyway you know we take this time to visit with close relatives there’s no there’s no go-kart park or whatever you call it I think there is a dilapidated putt-putt place in Kinston but we don’t frequent that that location if it seems a little Shady smart you never know where the holes go to it’s also suspicious is all I’m really saying mud there’s just a little copy we’ll get the ball out after you hit it in there what we did yesterday was we went fishing now my father-in-law mr. Bobby as he likes to be called loves to fish he’s retired thus you know he makes a he makes a habit of fishing as often as possible and it’s a great thing that he takes his grandkids Lily and Lincoln he takes him fishing Lando is not quite old enough for most fishing excursions and it can be used as bait though I’ve used toddlers as bait exactly okay I don’t want to tempt him you know anything that’ll get the big one he might be tempted so we go we go to a fishing hole yesterday me mr. Bobby and Lily and Lincoln now keep in mind that Christy’s father is the guy who last Christmas when I was opening a Barbie for my daughter at his house with a knife and cut my finger and fainted he was the arms that I fell into when I when I fainted okay I think I’ve told that story doesn’t he doesn’t respect you so he’s got a certain impression of me so as we’re going out fishing he’s like no I’m not gonna give you a knife you know he’s kind of you know giving me a hard time kind of ribbing me about that he’s by stabbing you with a knife no he’s just kind of I’m not gonna give you a knife to cut the bait out here I’m gonna let Lily do that she’s 9 she can handle it right you know and you know I take it it’s all in good fun we’re friends being disrespected by your father-in-law that’s it that’s very American yeah you know to do that so we get out there you know and the kids are catching a few fish and well I haven’t caught anything but I’m letting the kids catch him okay but then I’m casting out there and I actually have this thought I’m not embellishing anything when you’re fishing you tune embellish things I have this thought you know what I’m not a great fisherman I don’t even necessarily love fishing but I’m very proud that I know how to cast a fishing line because that’s a difficult thing to do well I mean honestly being out in LA I’m sure I can meet friends out there from the big city who’ve never cast around in their life and if you took them out fishing they’d be like oh how do you do this you know you you hold the line and then you gotta let go at the right time and it flies out there all right you fly fishing no we’re just but you have to move the thing over and then let the other thing go the bait all right there is some technique involved and I was proud in my mind to think I know how to do that no one would have to teach me that take pride in the little things and as I’m thinking that I’m really getting into it I’m you know I’m really singing out there and Christy’s dad said you want to aim for this spot way out there and I couldn’t quite get it so I was just and then I was you know I get I decided I was going to give it real gusto this time I was going to cast it as far as I could because I hadn’t caught anything huh so our rare back and then I give it the most gusto of any cast I’ve ever given and very early in the cast it the hook catches something ooh but I was giving it so much gust oh did I say that that the follow-through just kept going and it ripped free from whatever it had caught on and just went out there but as in all this happen in this blink of an eye I started looking back as I was casting for it and I realized Lincoln my son was back there and I had hooked him in the back of the head and he had this stunned look on his face because I knew that I had hooked him and then I had pulled it right out of it did it like rip his scalp off hands would be like a wig went out into the lake he’d still had all of his hair as far as I could jump goodness he was like he was sitting there stunned and I was like oh no and Christy’s dad runs over and he’s like he’s like where’s the baton he thought it was down I was like the baits out there but I hooked him and I pulled it through and then Lincoln’s Lincoln staving off crying he was you know who’s being a man about it and we pull his hair back and there’s like a a 4-inch ditch where I have pulled this hood raked him with it oh god no I hooked him and then raked it out and I felt father of the year I felt like father of the year I felt so horrible I mean you don’t feel worse than when you’ve injured your own child at least I can imagine I haven’t done anything worse than that is he talking to you he didn’t cry and we sent her down on the tailgate a truck we put some ointment on there on Meadows Landing and then we put some ice on it and I said I said I’m sorry son do you forgive me he said well next time we go fishing I’m gonna wear a helmet so he’s a great sport about it but that’s the start of my North Carolina trip and yet another notch in the belt of going to the in-laws and having some well he said I’m definitely not taking you hunting yeah yeah don’t give this guy a gun oh so I you know things if our commencement address as long as something like that doesn’t happen like I don’t in it I’m not giving you a fishing pole during the commencement address thank God he wasn’t looking I mean seriously he wasn’t looking the other way I could have ripped his eyeball out her oh I mean let’s just end this quickly oh gosh all right we don’t have the will of mythicality with us it doesn’t travel well you have to like take it and put it in the overhead and that just doesn’t work security gets very suspicious you know you have spinning things and so what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna spin the invisible wheel of mythicality up here spin it around there we go wheel spin the wheel where it stops the stops well that’s how we’ll in this episode of good mythical morning and it says riding a roller coaster okay so okay we just we just got in it’s like a to Zoey in the front of the back uh it’s more fun in the back back okay here we go we’re going up the hill okay the front is clear inhale put your hands up put your [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
