How has your parenting style changed as you had more and more kids? Because I know my third can get away with anything, and I will give in to him just to shut him up.

With each one, I think if there was a meter of patience, it would just be a non-existent at this point.

By the time we got to the youngest, we were just like, oh, he's going to be like that.

Because our second youngest, she was like an angel.

She was perfect.

She would wake up from a nap and clouds are surrounding her head and birds are chirping.

and she would just smile.

the original bullies.

And how's that to you? How is it? How important is it to laugh during difficult times?

Oh, I mean, if you if you sometimes it's OK to just be, you know, to have that difficult time and sit there and resonate with it and laugh.

But a lot of the times to be able to laugh and find ways to laugh during, you know, tough times, it's what gets you through those tough times.

So that's what a lot of, you know, like I said, I got a lot of messages around, you know, that COVID time, especially in that first year.

And, you know, people are just like, oh, thank you for making this content, you know, being funny.

Especially as parents, we were we were inside.

We were we were we were stuck with our kids inside.

You've got this huge following that loves what you

Dave Ogborn is known online to his three million social media followers as Fit Dad CEO, where he shares daily doses of dad humor that's all too relatable.

Come along with me on the day in the life of a kid on summer break.

My day begins at approximately 6:12 in the morning, not because I have to be awake, but because my parents don't want me to be.

After breakfast, I announce that I'm bored.

That is impressive, because I haven't actually done anything yet.

My parents suggest approximately 17 different activities.

I reject them all.

[laughs]

[laughs]

And it's just they're all, they all have their own, like, personalities, even though, like, they'll make the same mistakes, and say the same things, and do some similar things, but they all have their own personalities and ways of dealing with it.

But my, my favorite thing is just watching how all of them deal with, like, adversity and, you know, all of that.

So...

And it goes-From, you know, she's- my our oldest is 17 all the way down to preschool age, and it's just, it's pure comedy just watching them all go through life, you know what I mean? So it's, even the difficulties, it's, it's funny.

So it's, it- that's probably my favorite part is just watching them go through the adversity of, of life.

Right now

...

I mean-

mean-I mean, Michkov does his job.

I would, I would say for me, b- for someone who doesn't watch them often, it's gonna be hard for me to say hate, hate John Hutcheson.

Right.

Like, you, like, you're gonna love, you love- Yeah, yeah.

I- You know, like you're gonna love him.

Yeah.

I mean, you know?

Okay.

And, uh, I started really diving into that, and then I got into the dad jokes.

And I started doing two to three every day, and they just started taking off.

And, uh, I think, what was it? At one point in 2021, I think-

Okay.

And, and I was like, "I'm done," but I kept going from there, and it's turned into a book, a show that I'm, I'm, I'm trying to produce, and it's just a lot that I didn't expect.

And a lot of it just wrapped around just being a parent, um, honestly, and I, I always just go kind of back to that well, because I have six kids, so I have a big well to pull from.

They're in

it for the free stuff.

They're in it for the movie studios inviting them out to special events.

They're in it for the companies and the brands who invite them to events and give them free stuff.

And I love getting free stuff.

It's great.

I love being invited to events and all that stuff, but at the same time, I'm not going to be like, that movie was amazing.

wait so okay so uh when you're doing press junkets so like we did press junkets for years you'd get three minutes you'd go into a room you talk to the celebrities you'd ask a couple questions but now with content creators doing it are are the actors prepared for what your content is you
