even_odd challenge

It tells me I'm giving the wrong number of prints. Also I have no idea why it put the last line of code there

even.py 
import random
start = 5
def even_odd(num):
    while num == True:
        num = random.randint(1, 99)
        if num % 2 == 0:
            print("{} is even".format(num))
        else:
            print("{} is odd".format(num))
    start = start - 1
    return not num % 2

You need to put the while loop outside of the even_odd function. Instead you call the function inside the while loop 

import random

def even_odd(num):
    return not num % 2

start = 5
while start:
    num = random.randint(1, 99)
    if even_odd(num):
        print("{} is even".format(num))
    else:
        print("{} is odd".format(num))
    start -= 1
