- And then I just bonked myself on the stroller,
and it really hurt,
and then I cried,
and then it really,
and then I,
and then Mommy and Daddy gave me an ice pack,
and then I was safe and sound.
(theatrical theme music)
- Hello, ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to my magic show.
Does anyone in the crowd have a dollar?
Anyone in the crowd?
Anyone?
Wow!
Good morning, everyone.
That was a video from almost 20 years ago.
My friends and I used to make silly videos,
and that was one of my friends there.
His name is Eric, but back then, I used to call him Ricky,
and I haven't seen him in almost 10 years.
It's been a long, long time
since either of us have visited each other,
and, today,
we're gonna,
we're gonna visit.
Oh, and, by the way.
Watch carefully as I take these magical dollar bills.
That was me back then.
Anyway, I'm really excited
because we're gonna visit with him and his wife and his kids
and we're going to the zoo!
You're wearing an elephant shirt, just like the zoo!
You excited about the zoo?
Yeah, I thought so.
I didn't make him do that.
He did that on his own.
I don't think he meant to do it,
but it looked like he said yes.
So let's go with it.
Before we go to the zoo,
I want to say thanks to Spot It
for sponsoring this video.
- So, you may have noticed
this has become kind of my zone.
I am in a rocking chair most of the day.
That's what I'm like
when I'm nursing and caring for a little baby.
With all my kids, I've always looked
for a fun game or a book to read
or something to do when the baby falls asleep on me
or just when I have a little spare moment in my chair.
This time around,
I found this super cool app called Spot It,
and it's based off of a little game
that I play with the kids all the time.
So, if you've never played Spot It before,
it's very simple to learn.
All you have to do is find pairs and combinations
between two cards.
So you're kind of making matches very quickly.
- We've played the Spot It card game for a long time.
It is really easy to play.
So the kids can play it,
but it's still challenging.
So it sort of levels the playing field
and you can all play together as a family,
which is really cool, and what the app does,
is it takes the core elements of that
and expands it so that you can play with people
all over the world,
and you can level up your character,
you can make weird combinations
that you can't do in the card games.
So it's really, really cool.
- Oh, a bomb.
- Bomb, okay.
- A key!
- There's that thing.
- The lock.
Victory!
Okay, who wants a turn?
- [Boys] Me!
- I would go last.
- Go, Jacob, go.
- And you get to click the power,
and he does like a power.
See, he gave you all these chairs.
So do chairs.
I think this is the highest score of all time, buddy.
- Uh-huh.
- Alright, victory! - Victory!
- Yeah!
- Good job.
Log, log.
You won!
- I really did?
- Spot It Duel is free to download
on the app store and Google Play.
Download right now because I know you're gonna love it.
- We just got to the zoo,
and immediately, Parker hurt himself.
You okay, buddy?
What happened?
- I was running out of the bathroom,
and then I decided to be with Duncan,
and then I just bonked myself on the stroller,
and it really hurt,
and then I cried,
and then I really,
and then I,
and then Mommy and Daddy gave me an ice pack,
and then I was safe and sound.
- He came running out of the bathroom
to go be with Duncan and he tripped
and hit his head on the stroller that Duncan is inside of.
We're tending to his wounds real quick before we move on.
- Look at how big this lump is.
- Oh, my goodness.
That is a giant lump.
- We haven't had a kid
have a head lump this big in many years.
It's been awhile.
- [Jacob] Where?
- [Jessica] Look at this, you guys.
- [Jacob] I got one like that.
- And he's reverted to a one-year-old.
- [Chris] It's a three-year lump.
It takes you back three years.
- You got one?
Showing us lumps of days past.
- You got one right here.
There's a little lump right there.
This is my friend Eric. - Hi.
- We've been friends for forever,
like, literally forever, right?
- Most of forever.
- Over 20 years.
- Most of forever, for sure.
- Most of forever.
We met under interesting circumstances.
- So, as I recall, I was in seventh grade.
So this would've been 1995?
- [Jessica] Don't date us.
- Yeah, we're dating ourselves right now.
- Okay, this was in the year
(coughing)
and the esteemed Mr. Ballinger was skipping a grade
and moving to a new school, which I attended.
Neither of us having many friends.
- Yeah, I knew nobody.
Nobody at either school, really.
- Chris's dad somehow orchestrated a meeting with us.
It was more or less a hey would you kinda show him around
and, you know, just kinda hang out.
- My dad made us friends.
He was like, hey my son doesn't know anybody.
He's kind of a nerd.
He's not gonna make friends on his own.
So, if you could just step in
and just make that happen, that's be great.
And it worked out.
Like we're still friends.
- It's sort of like an arranged marriage
where you're not really sure, but you kinda go with it.
- Yeah, we're in an arranged friendship.
- It is.
- A long going one though.
So it's good.
No, it's good.
(laughing)
(lighthearted music)
Are these your favorite animals Parker?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] What are they?
- Giraffes.
- [Chris] What's the smallest giraffe's name?
- Uh, Parker the giraffe.
- [Chris] Parker the giraffe?
- Uh huh.
Do you see him?
- [Chris] Yeah.
- He stopped eating.
(lighthearted music)
The lion's asleep.
- [Man] The lion's laying down.
- [Chris] Lying in the grass.
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Jake there's a lot of jokes you coulda told
about the lion, but I think that's the main one.
(lighthearted music)
- It looks just like the ones on your outfit.
What do you think?
(baby noises)
Yeah?
Not impressed?
Not impressed.
(lighthearted music)
Did you have fun at the zoo?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Did you have fun at the zoo?
- Yes.
- [Chris] Are you ready to eat?
- Yes.
- Alright.
Let's get some food.
We're having pizza for dinner.
(choral music)
You guys got the best seat in the house.
- Yeah.
- [Chris] You get to watch them make the pizza.
- [Parker] Yeah.
- [Chris] Looks so good.
You guys are sharing and then another pizza's coming out.
- For who?
- [Chris] For everybody to eat.
You guys have a lot of pizza.
You're gonna eat a lot of pizza.
We want you full.
Did you get some gluten free noodles?
Nice.
As a dad, sometimes you gotta carry your kids in
cause they fall asleep in the car on the drive back.
It's pretty precious.
(easy going music)
Hi!
Let's talk about what we learned today.
We learned that you should go to the link
in the description box of this video
and download the app Spot It Duel.
We learned that I'm not capable
of making my own friends.
So, thanks dad.
And finally we learned that Duncan is not impressed
by the mighty, majestic pachyderm.
Thanks for watching everybody.
We'll see ya next time.
