good mythical morning Monday through Friday but very different recon it the rhett and Link Vaught this is when we are going to revisit videos our videos from the past we’re gonna tell you a little something about them that you might not know and then we’re gonna show you a video that you may or may not have seen you probably haven’t seen it it’ll be great no complaining only positivity vehicle this is gonna be great positive oh gosh you know what we have to maintain positive attitudes all the time because we are fathers segue you know because you want if you exude positivity these the youngsters they soak it up like sponges what you’re not with me on and then that is not my approach and then they turn oh yes I’m just a just a disciplinarian okay a stern father yeah your your I’m positive that I’m gonna discipline yeah right that’s positivity that works well in Phatak that’s good I would like to take credit for this idea because it was might I remind you my idea that we should have a date night well not the two of us right but that I should have a date night with my and you should have a date night with your wife and you know what let’s make it a weekly thing because here’s the thing I mean we’ve been married many years to our wives so we know the importance of continuing to date the person that you’re already married to I recommend that so you’ve always known that but you say well once a month and then the month slips away and you know the more kids you have the more complicated your life gets and it’s like well you know you don’t you just don’t have that quality time and it can’t be cultivated relations you gotta pay for babysitters and I was like I can just hit me I was like I don’t want to pay for a babysitter they cost like five hundred dollars an hour out here in Los Angeles asterix sarcasm now I’m back to reality and yeah you make every time I think a sarcastic joke you do the aspiration will put a graphic on it no don’t we’re not gonna make any more work for Jason graphic but we decided I decided I came up with this I suggested I’m gonna take care of your kids Jessi and I will take care of your kids for free one week and then the next week you’ll take care of my kids for a small fee now first of all you need to recognize the selflessness in this decision because you got more kids than me you got three kids this is a bigger burden on me and you got a kid that still craps his pants I mean I got kids that crapped their pants like on accident but you got a kid when he was hurt nicely craps his pants diaper it’s not pants he’s a two-year-old there’s pants over the diaper usually yeah no crap in your pen you remove the pants you change the diaper in then you put the pants back on I hope you do know that I don’t deal with that oh man I don’t when your kid craps his pants in my house I just let it sit until you come pick him up but okay with that that we need to change that part of it part of the scenario well you think you got the wrong end of the deal I mean but Mike I love your kids my kids are more well-mannered kids like to climb things my kids don’t like to climb things I love your kids I love taking care of them but it has been a challenging because I you know you you’ve got so many children and I’ve got the future I’ve got too well I mean then you’ve got what’s I mean let’s at least five whenever you keep all up two plus three is five there right and then the next week I have to keep five so every other week this is a great arrangement yeah and then the other week comes when we got to keep all the kids and you’re like oh gosh why do we agree to this yes like I date or babysitting five kids it really is it swings the pinch swings pretty far I know eat the weak I know parents who actually have that many kids it’s just wild I’ll think about that I can explain some things to them bacon that you can prevent that yeah you can while you can prevent large families it only you can prevent forest fires and large families now listen this is what I have decided to do with your wonderful children know when it when they come over I’ve decided that in order to keep five children out you and your kids – five children total yes yeah counting mine need I remind you you have three I have two we got a park out here and the first time I took care of your kids I went out proud of myself because I went out there and I said I’m gonna entertain these five kids and I invented hey I’ve done this several times now I am the game master I have invented games on the spot your kids are just it’s like they’ve never played games yeah I invent these games and they’re just they’re so excited they’re well they never play the games that you’re inventing whatever kind of games these are I’ve heard a little bit from them about the well they’re simple games we had a football and a frisbee and so the first game we played was frisbee throw they they got to be competitive kids got to learn this is a competitive world there’s got to be a winner and a loser you know I’m not about this everybody’s a winner thing you got winners and you got losers so you’ll be a loser be a winner you’ve got one winner and many losers right there’s only one winner yeah my kids come on place is the first loser know what life is full of one winner and many losers these are the things that that’s the world we live in and so I said let’s do this thing where we throw a frisbee you know and we go from youngest to oldest so we started with Lando and Lando he’s two so throwing a frisbee was him just handing it back to me no so you know whatever he’s always a winner he’s – he crapped his pants but he’s still a winner he’s a winner at that he stinks like you wouldn’t believe oh my god I’m pretty constant basis but he is away and then that my three-year-old Shepherd throws it he threw it about 30 feet and so I said you know what you ought to do uh let’s play where we you you throw it and I walk it off how many feet you threw it and then we divide the number of feet that you threw it by your age to figure out who is the winner so in other words the older you are the bigger your handicap is well reverse that there’s younger you are the bigger handicap you have so and I’m playing – and I’m 34 years old and so you I have to divide the number of feet it turns out that I would have to in order to win the game cuz Shepherd ended up winning I would have had to throw in the frisbee 1,100 feet I don’t think that’s possible you can’t do that no not even with Anna Roby I don’t think the kids were super excited they I mean they were cheering for each other and then we did the same thing but it’s funny because Lily and Lincoln come on like well tell me what you did it’s like well we played these games in Shepherd 1-1 where you throw the frisbee and then you multiply how far you threw it by your age and then you divide by your age I wouldn’t get you very far I’m thinking yeah that’s kind of like multiplying by one but I didn’t think that I just kind of assumed that you didn’t know how what you were doing either you assumed that I was that bad at math I’m the one that has to remind you that we have five collective kids right but so you so you engineer it so so Shepherd to win that game that’s good and then last night I engineered a game for Lincoln to win and this game is called it’s basically dodgeball but they’re all it and I’m the only one with the ball so you’re pelting my kids I take a rubber projectiles and then I have them run across a yard and I say to you get hit three times and you’re out and they’re they love this game they don’t realize it I’m just picking who’s gonna win it each round and I and then we did it all and Shepherd 1 1 and then Lincoln won one time and then Locke won one and I said let’s play one more round and I mean I’m really hit them hard you know they got to learn in life you get hit and it’s upside to face with stuff I mean you can be just going along your business boom get up side to face and so we do that and then I said you know what but I’m gonna let I said alright guys this is the tiebreaker this is for the grand champion and they gonna get this look in their faces like I’ve got to be the Grand Champion because everybody wants to be the Grand Champion it’s really it’s whoever you’re gonna decide to hit and I was like Lincoln he’s the guest he’s your kid you know I want to boost his self-esteem so I throw it at Shepherd he’s out I thought it like he’s out and then Lincoln wins Grand Champion Lincoln talked about me in the Grand Champion for the rest of the night of course he did and he ripped off his shirt and he said look at me I’m the Grand Champion I might I don’t invent games but that doesn’t make me worse of a parent I take them to the park when all the kids come over but then I have the strategy to come back and to kind of ease and get him to calm down a little bit yeah I take Shepherd and Lando two youngest ones and I put them in the bathtub and I bathe I let them bathe you let them be well they play in the bathtub of boats and stuff like that Lando is afraid to take a bath or a shower period but he likes to take a bath if he can take a bath with a little friend you know how does Shepherd he’s like what three three they’re three and three and two so you know they’re in there playing with boats and are they learning anything about winning and losing doesn’t sound like it well they could be they playing some form of battleship and you know I’m seeing that the plane with the boats and all of a sudden I see that there is a brown torpedo going towards one of the ships and then all of a sudden I realized hold on about a torpedo who don’t have a brown torpedo and then I look at Lando and I say Lando what what did you do and he looks at me and he goes I pitch and then I realize there’s multiple Brown torpedos he has pooped in the in the tub evacuate well he already evacuated but then I had to evacuate both kids out of the tub and there’s all oh my gosh so not only does he crap his pants he craps the tub to get up he does he does well if he didn’t if he doesn’t crap his pants then he craps tell me look and you let my kids do you become well he was in it I got him out as quickly as I could and then I you know then they had to take it I had to hose him off like with the shower thing which Lando hated that Shepherd didn’t seem to care he didn’t seem to care about any of it he’s there he’s along for the ride torpedo yeah you know they took a bite out of it Brody’s nose a loose cannon he was already fed but you know you you just you learn containment when you have that many if it’s inventing a game or if it’s just detoxing the tub whatever it is just to kind of channel these kids energy because I made them clean the tub really oh that’s good they need an idea no no you should do that you got to learn from that if you make a mess especially if it’s you crap all over the place somewhere you get you’re responsible for that that’s your job you did your business and now the business is to clean it up when I’m taking Shepherd to the house this is a beginning of the evening he says he’s just making conversation he says you know I used to think that Lady Gaga was Justin Bieber’s mom but then I realized that Lady Gaga’s not married oh okay my three year olds of this yeah Shepherd said daddy got a feelin melons pop culture let’s see how we’re gonna in this episode of good mythical morning backwards ABC slap hands okay alright so this is this is less we’re gonna do
