Good Mythical Morning but what Good. Mythical Morning season 2 begins on. Monday August 6th so don't worry and in. the interim for about a month we're. going to be bringing you a daily video.
on this channel just like good mythical. morning Monday through Friday but very. different we're calling it the r and. Link Vault this is when we are going to. revisit videos our videos from the past. we're going to tell you a little. something about them that you might not. know and then we're going to show you a. video that you may or may not have seen. you probably haven't seen it it it'll be. great no. complaining only positivity people this. is going to be great be positive oh gosh. you know we have to maintain positive. attitudes all the time because we are.
fathers yes segue I like 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 this and then that's not my. Approach and then they turn oh yeah I'm. just a just a disciplinarian I'm just a. Stern father you're you're you're I'm. positive that I'm going to discipline. you that's positivity that works being. emphatic that's good would like to take.
credit for this ideaa because it was. might I remind you my idea that we. should have a date night but I not the. two of us right but that I should have a. date night with my wife 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 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 we'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 wow you know you don't you just. don't have that quality time need to. cultivate a relationship you got to pay. for babysitters and I was like I just. hit me I was like I don't want to pay. for a babysitter they cost like $500 an. hour out here in Los Angeles asterisk. sarcasm now I'm back to reality and. uh yeah you make every time I make a. sarcastic joke you do the asteris Jason. will put a graphic on it no don't we're. not going to make any more work for. Jason.
graphic but we decided I decided I came. up with this idea suggested I'm going to. take care of your kids Jesse 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 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 crap their pants. like on accident but you got a kid who. purposely craps his pants on a regular a. diaper it's not pants.
he's a 2-year-old there's pants over the. diaper usually still crap in your pants. when you remove the pants you change the. diaper and 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 well. okay well that that we need to change. that part of the part of the scenario. well you think you got the wrong end of. the deal I mean but my I love your kids. man my kids are are more well-mannered. your kids like to climb things my kids. don't like to climb things I love your. kids love taking care of them but it has.
been a challenge because I you know you. you've got so many children and I've got. a few CH I've got two well I mean then. you've got what's I mean that's at least. five whenever you keep all of them 2. plus three is five you're 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 did we agree. to this yeah it's like a date or. babysitting five kids it really is it. swings the pendulum swings pretty far. from week to week I I know parents who. actually have that many kids it's just.
wild to think about that I can explain. some things to them they can you can. prevent that you can 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 uh when. they when they come over I've decided. that in order to keep five children. occup and your kids too five children. total yes I'm counting. mine and Ne 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. I'm proud of myself cuz I went out there. and I said I'm going to entertain these. five kids and I invented and I I have. 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 I invent. these games and they're just they're so. excited they're like 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 these. well they're simple games we had a. football and a Frisbee and so the first. game we played was Frisbee throw they. got to be competitive these 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 don't be a loser be a winner. you've got one winner and many losers. right there's only one winner yeah my. kids come home second place is the first. loser you know what life is full of one. winner and many losers these are the. things that they that's the world we. live in and so I 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 fris was him just handing it.
back to me that so you know whatever. he's always a winner he's two he craps. his pants but he's still a winner he's a. winner at that he stinks like he. wouldn't believe on a on a pretty. constant basis but he is a winner and. then my three-year-old Shepherd throws. it and he threw it about 30 feet and so. I said you know what we 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 is well reverse that there.
the younger you are the bigger handicap. you have so and I'm playing too and I'm. 34 years old and so I have to divide the. number of feet it turns out that I would. have to th in order to win the game cuz. Shephard ended up winning I would have. had to throw in the Frisbee 1100 ft I. don't think that's possible you can't do. that no not even with an aobi I don't. think but the kids were super excited. they I mean they were cheering for each. other and then we did the same thing. with the football it's funny because. Lily and Lincoln come home like well. tell me what you did and it's like well. we played these games in Shephard 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 that. wouldn't get you very faruck and I'm. thinking yeah that's kind of like. multiplying by one but I I didn't think. that I just kind of assumed that you. didn't know how what you were doing. either you assumed I was that bad at Ma. I'm the one that has to remind you that. we have five Collective kids right but. so so you engineer it so so she could. 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. ball projectiles and then I have them. run across a yard and then I say the you. get hit three times and you're out and. they're they love this game they don't. realize that I'm just picking who's. going to win each round and I and then. we did it all and Shephard one one and. then Lincoln W one and then lock W one. and then I said let's play one more. round and I'm I mean I'm really hitting. them hard you know they to learn in life.
you get hit and upside to face with. stuff I mean you could be just going. along your business boom get hit upside. to face and so we we do that and then I. said you know what but I'm going to let. I said all right guys this is the. tiebreaker this is for the grand. champion and they get this look in their. faces like I've got to be the grand. champion because everybody wants to be. the grand champion but really it's. whoever you're going to decide to hit. and I was like Lincoln he's the guest. he's your kid you know want to boost his. self-esteem so I throw it at shepher. he's out I throw it at lock he's out and. then Lincoln wins Grand Champion Lincoln. talked about being 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. my I don't invent games but that doesn't. make me worse of a 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 kind of ease and get them. to calm down a little bit I take. Shephard and Lando two youngest ones and. I put them in the bathtub and I bathe I. let them bathe you let them bathe well. they play in the bathtub with 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 old is. Shepherd he's like what three three and. three and two so you know they're in. there playing with boats and um are they. learning anything about winning and. losing it doesn't sound like it well. they could be they playing some form of. Battleship and you know I'm seeing that. the playing with the boats and all of a. sudden I see that there is a a brown. torpedo going towards one of the ships. and then all of a sudden I realize hold. on it's not a torpedo we 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. pooped and then I realiz this there's. multiple Brown Torpedoes 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 too. yep he does he does well if he didn't if. he doesn't crap his pants then he crabs. his to and you let my kid sit in it you. become well he was in it I I got him out. as quickly as I could and then I you.
know then they had to take I had to hose. them off like with the shower thing. which Lando hated that shepher didn't. seem to care he didn't seem to care. about any of it he's he's there he's Al. for the ride torpedo he probably took a. bite out of it I mean Shephard he's no. Canon 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 a tub. whatever it is just to kind of Channel. these kids' energy cuz I made them clean.
the tub really oh that's good they they. need to know how to do that well no you. should do that you got to learn that if. you make a mess especially if it's you. crap all over the place somewhere you. you're responsible for that that's your. job you you you did your business and. now the business is to clean it up when. I'm taking shepher to the house this is. the 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. is not married. I was like oh okay my three-year-old.
said this yeah Shepherd said that got a. got a filament onist pop culture let's. see how we're going to end this episode. of Good Mythical Morning backwards ABC. slap hands okay all right so this this. is let's we're going to do slaps and. then I have to no I have to move my. hands but I have to say the ABC's. backwards zyx w z YX zyx W I'm getting. you every time man I'm trying to say. that ABC's backwards.
