Re: DailyExcuses - Part #94
I developed hearing loss in one ear in adulthood due to nerve damage. The good ear can compensate for the bad ear most of the time, but I can't make out words when they're spoken into the bad ear. It's a jumbled mess of sounds, almost like I'm hearing underwater. I wonder if the speech issues are related to something similar.Playsinrain wrote:I'm still firmly team hearing loss.

I can't watch the vlog, but saw the thumbnail. Did Missy dye her hair red-orange or is that edited?!

Extensions.
I think his speech is from his parents and their weird ness.
Missy obviously has speech issues and she moves her mouth weirdly when she talks. Bryan is a lazy talker. Ea-n (eating) for example

Re: DailyExcuses - Part #94
honestly tho their old intro was great, like especially the ending where it had the drums & daily bumps in a million different fonts with them blurred in the background. the full house style door swing? laughable but ok. the "dun dun dun-dun-dun-dun-dun" underlaid before the intro began? cool.
this intro is so tacky imho. their new logo is gross, the font is disgusting, it's too colorful. only good part about it is it's shorter. it just seems super fake and reminds me a low budget tv opener. i guess they were going for an "explosion of colors" but it fell flat

Re: DailyExcuses - Part #94
If it were hearing loss, it doesn't explain why Finn is a bit behind as well. Which he most definitely is. He should have more words than "Yeah", "No", and family member names by now. He'll be two in a few weeks. He should have 2-4 word sentences at this point, but he's all mumbles and gibberish like Ollie is too.Playsinrain wrote:I'm still firmly team hearing loss.

I honestly think it comes down to nobody talking to them on a regular basis.

Re: DailyExcuses - Part #94
Missy posted an IG story with the caption "He loves this song" with Ollie listening to his "war chant" and trying to recite along. He can't, and he looks completely unimpressed. I wonder how many takes it took, and how many they had to splice together. How can they pretend there's nothing wrong? I admit, he does sound better when he's not scripted. But he is 4. And he can't repeat simple sentences? And we never hear him singing spontaneously. Like Gaines singing "Jesus Loves Me" in the car. I think he and Finn both might have water in their ears from all the swimming, but Ollie for sure needs _help_.

Re: DailyExcuses - Part #94
How can anyone expect Ollie and Finn to be talking and understandable when half the time you cant understand his father and his mother only "talks" on her phone? Seriously, the kids have little interaction with anyone who isnt Missy's parents (and look how well they did the first time around), I think if Ollie gets to go to school often enough we will see a huge increase in his speech.

Re: DailyExcuses - Part #94
Sorry if someone else hasn't said this yet, I haven't read the forum just yet.
Their top secret project is obviously a calender. "That's what happens when you work with kids!" No that's what happens when you work with a bad child like Ollie. Did anyone see Ollie's angry looking face when they were singing the song in the car!? Talk about terrifying! I thought Missy's outfit with the straw had was really cute!

That's an Idaho, Utah accent. (Maybe PNW? It is called a Glottal Stop. British people have it too but when in America it's without their cool accent so I think that makes it sound really stupid.
I am way down here in the South so I have room to talk about accents. We do drop our ing when speaking a lot. ) But I noticed a lot of the Griffiths do it too as well as a lot of YouTubers from those areas. I have a friend from Oregon that speaks that way but she was raised in Utah. If you listen you won't be able to ignore it anymore. It's very annoying. Like the buh-un for button. I think accents are neat but not if you are just leaving out syllables. It sounds like they tripped while speaking and interrupted their word.

I have wondered that as it seems he concentrates heavily on someone speaking to him and he just makes up endings to words but I don't think it is profound yet if he does. I mean I really haven't noticed if he has the TV up at extra loud volumes or speaks loudly all the time (I mean shouting). Definitely something they should ask their Pediatrician about. I am astounded when it's not brought up by the Doctor. They have to notice within a few seconds of him speaking that he needs speech therapy or something. But with Missy's speech impediment and Bryan's weirdness they probably are just oblivious that he is not developing right in that area. Finn is starting to jabber and has a couple of words but I am amazed at how many 2 yr old YouTube kids aren't speaking. Most kids and my own had a lot of words by 2. The ones I knew who didn't were more rare and either ended up being on the spectrum or just late bloomers but it's so common now.

Re: DailyExcuses - Part #94
I just listened to the song, and I had captions on for the vlog. So, I knew he was trying to say shield, but when I was just listening without the lyrics in front of me, I swear it sounds like he says shoe. I don't know why I find that so funny, but it's like I picture Bryan handing Ollie a shoe and just looking at him and saying "Yeah, we'll be fine." And I think that is so funny..yall I'm having a DAY.
Re: DailyExcuses - Part #94
I thought I was the only one who was noticing that Finn doesn't say many words. Even when Ollie was 2 (I just went back and checked Missy's video) he was putting 2-3 words together (or at least that's what she claimed). If Finn's speech turns out like Ollie's a year or two down the line then I think we'll safely be able to say that the cause of their issues is Bryan and Missy. I already think Ollie's "den" endings are caused by them (if you pay attention, "morn-in", "ea-in", and "play-in" are all part of their daily vocabulary). And as lazy as they are I think it's safe to guess that they don't spend time sounding out words for either kid. Hopefully they'll both improve as they get older and spend more time out in the world. Ollie's has already improved (Last week I watched a vlog from last September and he was like 90% unintelligible. Now, personally, I think most of what he says unprompted is understandable even if it's not perfect, and the "den" endings are less pronounced).Theirmom wrote:If it were hearing loss, it doesn't explain why Finn is a bit behind as well.

I sure hope they don't say the Westwood earthquake was so scary/terrifying earthquake/trapped in building because of earthquake, etc., considering what just happened in Mexico City. The Shake Map doesn't show any reporting of shaking the their area (lower right-hand side of the map highlighted in yellow).
A calendar?! These two take themselves so seriously, don't they? I saw Corbin doing his job as Lanning lackey while they were shooting in the playroom...good boy, Corbin, good boy!
