Lyrics & Translation

[English]

- [Jared] Yes, I was just wondering

how your investment property is looking.

How is it shaping up to look?

- [Male Family Member] Well the merger's going nice.

It'll be the world's largest merger

of diapers, toys, and gummy bears.

- [Jared] Oh, that sounds wonderful.

See, I'm more in the market of strollers and car seats.

It's shaping to be pretty well

because they've required a lot of changes.

(upbeat music)

- Good morning and happy Sunday.

We have been playing with RC cars.

We are doing a tickle fight with Penny.

Are you tickling her?

She's itching too.

Jared's getting his lesson ready for church.

I think Calvin just ran in the garage.

Need to go grab him.

- Did you just do the formula start? Oh no!

- This is him playing with his bike. Calvin!

Mr. Calvin is obsessed with his bike

because he keeps running in the garage.

We're getting ready to head to church,

but when we get home, we're gonna go see some family.

July is always such a fun month

because you're seeing family constantly, at least for us.

- I dare you to eat some--

- No, heavens no. I'm not eating her dog food.

One time Bonnie and Ruby, I think, gave me a bowl

and said it was Cocoa Puffs and they made me take a bite.

And it was dog food and it was a nasty joke.

It wasn't funny.

It's funny now, but it wasn't funny at the time.

But it is Olivia's birthday today.

It's funny because yesterday was this big old fun party

and everyone's like, "Well, where's Olivia?"

Her and the three girls, those cousins,

Olivia, Julie, and Abby,

they are like leeches.

And as soon as they see each other, they run off.

Like, we don't even see them.

So, they were on a little tube

with their life jackets, swimming around

and they were on the beach playing,

so we really didn't film them much.

So we're gonna see Olivia today

and we'll say happy birthday,

but just for those of you that commented,

"Well, then where was Olivia?"

She's with her cousins.

She's too busy to be playing with the adults,

but I'll snag her today and we'll say hi.

- [Jared] Aw, poor guy.

Didn't even make it to church before he fell asleep.

- Okay, mister.

- [Jared] Okay, let's go, Jackson.

Hey, I am unarmed!

Woah, tripping over the pillow.

I am unarmed.

Don't you be chasing me.

Ah no!

Oh, you giving me loves now?

Aw, did you feel bad for attacking me with a sword?

Woah.

My only weakness!

Well, this is a wonderful way to come back home from church.

(Jackson yelling)

Reinforcements, oh no.

Batman.

Always be yourself, unless you can be Batman.

Then always be Batman.

So, I've noticed something that's been happening

that I want to address really quick.

I've noticed that YouTube isn't pushing out our videos

like they normally do.

I think there might be a glitch or something,

but I've talked to Carl and Jinger and the Johnson fam

and they're saying similar things.

So I wanted to let you guys know

about the bell notification.

Right next to the subscribe button, there's a little bell.

And what that bell does is it notifies you

as soon as we push out a video,

whether it's on your phone or wherever, your tablet,

and tells you when we have a video that is live

so you don't miss it when it comes out.

I noticed that a few people today and yesterday

said, "Hey, I noticed that your video was live an hour ago,

"but I didn't see it in my subscription box

"until two or three hours later."

So, do me a favor, hit that bell notification.

That will let you know as soon as our videos are live,

so you guys don't miss them.

And let me know in the comments that you did it.

- So we're almost at my cousin's house and Jared was like,

"If you're stranded on an island, what would you bring?"

- If you could bring three items with you

on this stranded island,

what three items would you bring?

- I would bring a knife.

I would bring some sort of protection,

like a tent or a big blanket to keep warm.

And I would bring rice because I just like rice.

- Rice is good.

I would bring a knife, a sleeping bag,

and I think a first aid kit.

Because with a knife, you can make things

and jimmy rig things.

- [Jackson] What's that?

- And a first aid kit because I'm not sure--

I know more about eating things on a desert island

than I do about healing and antiseptics and those things.

So I feel like I'd need a first aid kit for me.

But what three items would you bring on a stranded island?

Anything, you can pick anything.

Except for, like, a helicopter to get off

the stranded island.

That doesn't count, that's cheating.

So every year Ellie's cousin has this awesome party

with her family and with friends.

There's this wonderful B.Y.O.M,

bring your own meat barbecue.

- I was like, what are you getting at?

- And you grill your own food

and then later there's a huge fireworks show

at the college just right over here.

- And you can see it from the backyard.

- Perfect.

- This is our sixth year of doing it, I'm excited.

- How many years have we been? Four?

Four times? - Did you catch it?

- [Jared] Did you catch the ball?

- I did!

- Good job, that's awesome.

And we have games and it's just so much fun.

And it's like honestly,

I think I say this a lot, but I mean it about this one,

one of my favorite parties of the year.

- It is really fun.

- [Jared] Calvin, is that your feet I smell?

Don't point at someone else and blame it on them.

- Fire engine.

- Yeah, we hear the ambulance or something.

- Yeah it's his feet, they stink.

- Oh my gosh. You are stinky, stinky boy.

(upbeat music)

- [Jared] This looks like trouble right over here.

- I'm getting tortured by minions.

- [Jared] Uh oh, let's see what they're gonna do.

- Go, get out of the way, go!

- Get out of the way.

(Olivia shrieking)

- [Jared] Oh jeez.

Olivia, your hair looks so awesome.

Careful, careful.

Okay, now go run to mom.

Go run to mom, Olivia.

Go run to mom!

That's pretty impressive.

Running after spinning like that, oh man.

(child crying)

Oh jeez, oh jeez, oh jeez,

oh jeez, oh jeez.

Hold on!

- [Ellie] Happy birthday, Olivia.

- Happy birthday.

- [Jared] Yes, I was just wondering

how your investment property is looking.

How's it shaping up to look?

- [Male Family Member] Well, the merger's going nice.

It'll be the world's largest merger

of diapers, toys, and gummy bears.

- [Jared] Oh, that sounds wonderful.

See, I'm more in the market of strollers and car seats.

It's shaping to be pretty well

because they've required a lot of changes.

- [Male Family Member] This soda's terrible.

- [Jared] Yeah, it's a little bit flat.

I think I'm gonna go get a little bit more here in moment.

I think I'm gonna call the waiter over.

This is disgusting. Disgusting.

- [Male Family Member] I just went back to the kitchen.

They know how to cook my steak now.

This hot dog is medium well and I asked for it rare.

- [Jared] You know, I've just been thinking about

this chair over here seems much more comfortable

than at the table.

- [Male Family Member] People like a good fashioned cigar,

but I just like a nice hot dog.

[Jared] A nice brat in my belly.

I know exactly what you mean.

[Male Family Member] I take half the bun

and then I go give it to charity.

Literally, chair-ity.

- [Jared] See, come over here.

Come over here and take a seat.

I'll tell you how comfortable these are.

- [Male Family Member] This is the new product line

we're rolling out.

- [Jared] Ah, yes, portable comfortable chairs.

I like it very much.

- [Male Family Member] It has a hand holder built in.

You put your hand in it.

- Alright, it's time for a little water balloon volleyball.

- Mmhmm.

- [Jared] Mmhmm.

Okay, these are the teams.

I'm not sure who's over there.

And it's you and me.

Oh, and Calvin, Calvin's gonna be our helper.

- Come here, Jeff, put it in here.

- Don't throw it at me.

- [Ellie] I won't.

- [Jared] Okay, here they go.

- Okay, so just keep it like this

and then when we pull it tight,

go up high when you pull it tight.

One, two, three, go.

- [Ellie] Oh!

- [Jared] Okay, our turn.

- Two, three, go.

Look, you're gonna catch it.

- [Jared] Nice shot.

- [Ellie] Don't let go.

- [Jared] Oh, that's a point for us.

Oh, that's us!

- [Ellie] Catch it.

- [Jared] We caught it.

- One, two, three.

- [Jared] Oh, yeah!

- One, two, three, go.

- [Jared] Yeah, double trouble.

Okay, we've got a balloon.

Are you ready, Ellie?

- So when the balloon comes, he's gonna catch it.

- [Jared] Okay, are you gonna catch our balloons, bud?

Whenever you guys are ready, we've got our balloon catcher.

- One, two, three.

- [Jared] Okay, we're ready.

- [Ellie] Go, Jar. - Fall back.

- [Jared] You get it?

Yeah, you got it!

You got it!

- It didn't fall.

- [Jared] It didn't fall, you did it!

- You got it, you right.

Calvin, you wanna get in?

- [Jared] Okay, your turn, Calvin.

He's like, no way, I saw that.

(upbeat music)

- [Jared] Oh, that's us again.

Yeah!

- One, two, three.

- Oh, nice work.

Here we go.

(yelling)

Here we go.

Nice catch, mom.

Yeah!

(mellow guitar)

You know the fireworks are getting close

when the glow sticks come out.

You trying to put those all on?

Fighting over the ball.

Woah there.

- [Ellie] Babies, no, no!

- [Jared] Let's learn to share, guys.

Okay, the fireworks, they're gonna be right over there.

You ready?

Okay, you go watch on the trampoline.

Look at his ankle, that's so cute.

(fireworks popping) (mellow guitar)

- [Ellie] Let's go sit down.

- [Jared] Okay, family, let's watch these fireworks.

- I like your bracelets.

- [Jared] Yeah, look at that.

How many? - He did it all by himself.

- [Jared] Yeah, he would not let us help them.

Good job, buddy. You did it.

- Well, this is a first.

It is 30 minutes until midnight

and our kids are still awake.

They had so much fun with cousins.

So hope you guys enjoyed the vlog today.

We sure had a great day.

We have a very busy, but fun week ahead.

And then a fun family reunion.

- Thanks for watching.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Bye.
