Introduction

Ooh boy, I've got something REALLY special for you right here: Something that has NEVER seen the light of day or even been known to exist... until now!

I doubt I've ever told many of you that I'm Dave's half-brother, but I guess this proves it!!!

I've wanted to upload this for a long time, but my Mom said I couldn't because Dave wouldn't approve of it, for some reason...

But this Christmas, when Dave came to our house to celebrate, I asked him if I could upload it, and he said YES! So here we are now. :D

So I called for backup.

Do you want? Kids? Yeah? Well, can they help me babysit tomorrow cuz, um, I need it I'm.

You all right, dude, hunger, whatever, you know, my ass that's.

My dad he's seen me through the worst times in my life and I would do anything for him, which is why I've agreed to help him cook, an actual meal you're probably wondering why? My dad volunteered us to do the cooking, hey, Dad, yeah, you're supposed to help me I'm helping by setting the table.

All right.

Dad, I was wondering the same thing.

Hey, how do you know what a quarter cup is on this thing if that's a half? Yeah, there is half of that.

Doesn't seem like very much.

Does it? No? It doesn't now I'm a ball suppose to toss this before you cook, the dress, again, I, don't know, I can't believe how hard this is 1/4 cup here, no that's.

What it says, that's, just 4 tbsp.

Yeah.

It does.

Oh yeah.

It's.

Starting to look right.

Probably seems like a lot of butter it'll, be good.

It is yeah, look, huh.

It's.

Wet, it's.

So wet in there, the butter will make it less wet.

Isn't.

It melt down to more wet.

Well, you know you need fire.

First more, oh, no, it's.

Amazing, you know, pen or man.

Now, what finally the hard part is over here are some real nagging shoes on second thought, it is real mac and cheese and it's made of it you'll.

See from Dave made it for you honey.

I made it 20 and partners have a seat.

You know what last time a cologne is so hot it's, a store.

Yeah, did you need to blow on it? Nah, maybe that cool bar.

No I mean, I said, no need to sit down, not yet we're, still having a nice dinner it's, not time to go and grab a dessert.

Okay, yeah.

Put it on the sink, but come back.

Okay, oh, yeah.

You gotta find a good character for Henry.

Hey, don't know, how you guys do this I'm a busy day, that's? Why it's so different when you have your own kid, you know, you're.

So connected today, they've tolerate things and adjust for things you wouldn't with anybody else in the world, you're home until 8:00 until you hit a breaking point.

Yeah, my horrible pain.

Terrible, hinder, got it nemesis Ryan.

It was your friend.

I.

Am Oh Ryan.

He was your friend.

We moved out of town.

Okay, that's enough.

You know what this wife be circling, straightly, imaginary, friends, well, lead imaginary friends that stupid gross.

Okay, how wish I never come back home? It don't feel right since I've been what'd.

You say to throw the room man, but so far.

So good, he's doing.

Okay, whoa.

Nothing.

Even like this talk about experimental Karen, Wyse, my macaroni.

So hot, aren't, Eggman, great, yeah.

Last night, I, wasn't.

So sure I was gonna be able to deal with this whole kid thing.

But this morning things were looking up I'm, not showing any mercy.

Yeah, then I found out that Toby was taking Henry to Mommy &, Me.

So I'm, leaving the three of you guys, no and then I realized what was in store for me today.

First feed Gabe get to it as we got a roll.

Take him to karate class, get my nails done and find time for a nap makes your karma still coming to help me babysit.

Then keep the boys occupied while Dad and Toby get ready for their date.

Wait for Carmen to take the kids to the radio station where I do my weekly camp Freddie show then feed them.

And finally put them to bed.

But before my nervous breakdown I had a slight reprieve while Gabe was a karate to discuss my concerns with dad I'm, telling you being around the kids is really interesting, I, don't know, how ready I am for this you're, never ready, even when you think you're? Ready, you're, not ready.

But see you waited, many years later and have more kids.

Mm-Hmm, I'm feeling, I can wait another five years, it's, not so much about you.

The guy just want the woman she's already got so many really good childbearing years.

I know, you should see her with the dog, I mean, she's ready to be a mom I've got something that she really wants I'll do it which I guess means that today I should really give it a shot with the boys hated anybody could go get a paper clip.

I'll show you a slice my body I want her, you know, I will be I.

Guess teasing a five-year-old isn't that cool I wouldn't.

Do it? No, no, no, no.

You don't want that no I was you know over 18.

When I did this give it a tug, give it a Yank? Yeah, ow, I'm, kind of joke.

I just can't help myself.

Ah, what some coffee Mike I wanted to talk to Dave about, you know tonight, okay, um I already know that if things get weird eating chocolate, no, no, no, you don't want to jam on sweets, but you have to feed them.

Maybe after you go to the radio station, I'm only gonna be there.

Half of them will hit Happy Meal and on the way back fast food.

It is awesome.

And my big concern is that I just want to make sure you don't lose them, they're, physically losing.

What does she think I? Am an amateur by hurting make sure you show, you know, lose, you know, some stuff later.

So you don't I can't.

Do all this is overwhelming is yeah, we're guy.

Yeah.

Okay.

Any cash could that be enough for adults? Sure, yeah, okay.

Here she is.

I'd bunny, hi that's.

My wife, Carmen, she's, the one who wants kids.

And the reason that I'm in this mess, hi, how you doing I've been going? Okay? You know, you're gonna take care of the kids right are they are they are.

Yeah, that's.

My cue time to wrap this up, cheers, guys, everyone I learned a lot this weekend he's been back to our little world, there's a good little world, it's, a good world.

Cuz, I'd love to be saying about just a normal life for kiddies.

Okay? Maybe I'm not ready for normal.

Oh, my god and asked for kids I'm, still, not sure requires a lot of work it's exhausting, yeah, I'm.

Sure, if these were my kids, it would have been rewarding as well.

Guys, I'm out of here.

I love.

My family I would do anything for them except babysit again, yeah.

But maybe one day they'll have a chance to return the favor I'll talk to you soon.

Okay and babysit for my kids it's sad say, goodbye, round.
