mythical morning t-shirt represent people here we go it’s a day filled with discrimination I love those kind of days really no that was just you were being facetious yeah I want to know how are you different facetious how are you discriminated against okay well let me put that let me just let me get to how I was discriminated against because that was really a tease you know to get people to watch the whole episode ok so just don’t wait until the very end tell that part of it I’ll tell it about in the middle don’t fast forward though it won’t make sense did you hear they’re doing away with the the fast-forward ability on YouTube next week that’s a joke ok alright I went to Legoland to celebrate my four-year-old son’s birthday happy birthday Shepherd and before now he’s 4 yep so we went there a few days ago to celebrate his 4th birthday and I had been a Legoland once with you and your children and also I brought my children I didn’t just go tag along we went together going to Legoland can I come and I will say if you’ve never been to Legoland it definitely is a kids thing ok so you know it’s based on a toy right I mean what were you expect well I mean Disney World or Disneyland or Universal Studios those are places like a full family enjoyment experience I mean there are things that kids can’t go on yeah it like alanis like everything’s for kids I mean my kids being four and eight it’s like right in the sweet spot they had a great time and I’ll admit that I’m entering into that stage where I’m enjoying things vicariously I see the look on my four-year-old son’s face as he goes down a waterslide and comes out in the water and I’m like I’m having a good time because he’s having a good time I’m just I’m just sitting here he comes out at the bottom he’s like oh oh and you’re like I’m having a I don’t enjoy watching my kids drown so I had it looking there I know he’s very very good in the water oh yeah I had a good time but I will say you know and also I met some mythical beasts I met four groups of mythical beasts while at Legoland you did did you charge like admission for them to see you or no you set up a booth they just came up when I came out said hey we watch good mythical morning every day really and it we had a couple other families anyway uh if you see us out somewhere and you watch good mythical morning or anything we’ve done don’t be shy just come up let’s talk let’s have a conversation if they give to get a picture the mythical handshake notun people don’t do that people are afraid of that I don’t even know how to do it see ya we don’t really we’re not promoting that – well that’s it’s an underground thing so anyway all so many of these rides are for children that I’m kind of I’m just on them and I’m like oh isn’t this great boys aren’t you having a great time and I’m like this is so lame they’re all made of Legos right they could fall apart at any moment no there are actually legitimate rollercoasters and stuff but it’s you know little 8 year old little 8 year olds before you a 4 year olds but they have this one thing called and you remember this because you wrote it it’s like called don’t tell me what I remember I’ll tell you what I remember the joust I remember that yeah see you remember it and this is the only ride that was not for Ken you went on it by yourself and you can go levels one through five and so you were like you would put you on level five and it was crazy so I explained what it looks like here you give I remember there was the thing you get like this this thing over a pond and it’s this arm that just turns you over and flips you upside down and just it looks rub your body and a lot of different looks like direction robotic arm that you see in like an automobile manufacturing plant except instead of it having like there’s people claw there’s a person on the end of it and it’s just two people it’ll spin you this way and the first time we went I didn’t ride it because I’ve got a bad back and I’m like and it says don’t ride it if you have a bad back so I’m like okay well link you do this and you were like this is enjoyable this is like the one like adult thing that happens at Lego in terms of rides yes yeah and so so I go out there with Locke and I he’s he’s over 48 inches tall so I’m like okay we can both go on this thing so and you can choose the intensity one through five you have to choose they have to be over like 55 inches in order to choose above level 2 so it was like level 2 like okay this is good Locke’s gonna have a blast cuz I did level 5 right Anna and it it was very nauseating yeah and I probably would throw up if I did that anyway I get on the ride and when you get on the ride you turn and face the crowd that is lined up mm-hmm so everybody kind of sees you get into this thing so I skip down into the chair and I face the crowd everybody’s waiting for you to vomit right and I face the crowd and this one low girl says Rhett Rhett it’s Rhett I’m like hey so now everybody’s looking at me and that moment the right operator come comes you’re like 20 feet above everybody no you’re not I was there oh you’re 20 feet above the water you’re directly eye level with the people I thought you’d have other people leave the details up to me okay so I’m you tell me what you remember I’m just what I’m doing and I’ve got a lot more to talk about so let me get to it okay so I’m facing this group of people and now I’ve been called out now I’m waving back at this girl Hey so all the attentions on me and that’s when the right operator comes up to me and says how tall are you like six seven you were guessing at this point I’m just I’m worried at this point he’s like um I’m gonna have to ask you to get off the ride sir you’re too tall for the ride you could be decapitated really he said you can be the captain no but that I felt that in his eyes I felt we knew it was for your own safety it wasn’t because he just didn’t like so then I was the guy that was like I had to get up walk down the take the walk of shame past everyone and he was like no you if I was like mama Mike my wife is out there she could come riding so yeah come on in the exit Nick so my wife and lock wrote it together they had a great time but you know there’s all these bars all over the park like you come up to you come up to any ride and there’s this bar it’s like are you this tall are you this tall I’ve never paid attention to the bars because since I was a fetus I was tall enough to ride off anything you know I would born I was 48 inches long when I was born a lot of people don’t know that and a lot you know 60% of the people I just who watch are gonna believe that that’s true and and I so I’ve always just disregarded the bars but now they should have why don’t they have the top bar and be like if your tooth should have been worn before I got to the ride is what I’m saying there should have been an upper limit so I could be like well there was too tall you didn’t miss it it just wasn’t there it was not there they wait to you would they wait to humiliate you in front of everyone you were discriminated against that’s all people they don’t care about the tall people you were protected you weren’t discriminate all this all this focus on the short people but the tall people get the shaft they discriminate it that you’re you were too tall so then they didn’t incriminate I’m okay with it that’s not the wrong good there there are some advantages to being tall I understand I’ve moved on I’m not bitter about it can’t you tell wait you probably would have thrown up anyway but one of the most fun things that happened was we go to the water slides there’s a water park they’ve added to they’ve added most of the size they’ve added it to the park so our symbol this this is gonna be fun so we go and we get to the waterslide and I’m like this line is taking forever and I get up to the top and that’s when I realized that they’re requiring the person to go the person in front of you has to go all the way down the slide get into the landing pool then get out of the landing pool and then some lifeguard holds up a green stick and then they let you go I was like this is taking too long what I long sly we’re talking about when we were kids and we went to emerald point in Greensboro oh yeah they would just like one kid after another you’d run into other kids you pass other kids safety was just such an afterthought but now that’s what created the current was the kid behind you was like sending a rush of water in front of him and that’s what made the current they didn’t even have they didn’t even have to pressurize the water so that’s not true but they didn’t care about safety at all when we were kids it was just about fun when our parents were kids there where there was no water on the waterslide it was just like a steel chute or something you go and burned all over the play and they were naked so slightly on your butt yes when we were kids they at least added water to the water slides but now they’ve got all these special tools and they got to make sure no one can get hurt and I started thinking I started looking around to all the signs around the waterpark and I was like they didn’t have all these signs when we were kids look at this sign do not enter the water if you are ill with diarrhea oh so it is that it was that if that’s the main thing to focus on here now it got me thinking this sign yeah this sign exists because at some point in the past ah a child or maybe an adult man who was ill with diarrhea entered the pool and then dispersed the diarrhea if you’re swimming in a pool and feeling some cool diarrhea diarrhea I don’t think the dog that is that is something cool that’s that was it that’s what we sing I don’t memory school but it’s hot it’s not cool unless something’s wrong with that it rhymes with pool it is diarrhea don’t ask your kids they probably know the proper proper jingle but if you’re driving in a Chevy and you’re feeling something heavy die think about this it’s some point in the past they had to evacuate how cool because of a kid in diarrhea and they were like yeah they’re draining the pool and I seen somebody make a sign this is not happening again so I will say that as time has gone on hey you smell diarrhea exactly some things have improved as in the warning about diarrhea this is a good thing because listen I already know that this pool that I’m swimming in is full of you kids urine and my own just be honest I mean I mean Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte admitted it they pee in the pool I didn’t pee in the pool at Legoland but I did pee in the lazy river well you it’s so relaxing I already know that I’m swimming I’m amidst kids urine I don’t want to be in the diarrhea though hmm so as I spin the wheel there in this episode it the guy didn’t come up to you on the articulated arm and say excuse me sir you have died are you ill with diarrhea wow I could get really messy when they start spinning you around the height thing is much better than that I don’t want to be discriminated against because I’m ill with anything before I do I guess one UFO landing well we’re out here in this field just minding our own business you see that some drawer to ship I’m sort of yep yep doesn’t seem human doesn’t seem earthly seems otherworldly let’s go up to it and get inside of it ask to be probed [Music]
