Steps to Controlling Your Spouse

[MadeHD]

The way I see it... Their content is horrendous. The only thing that put a spark into the channel was them talking about their disaster of a house / rental agreement. Not only does this bring in views but it sets them up for many more videos revolving around this. If they can keep viewers or up their audience numbers then its a win. Weather or not they asked the landlord for approval they obviously think the risk or potential punishment is worth the enjoyment they will get from actually being able to use the backyard they pay for every month. Plus the upside could be a monetary gain. They always have Bryan and Missy and mommy and daddy to pull them out if they fall too far into the hole.

P.S. I hate their floor plan. I wouldn't want to be inside either.

One of the obvious issues that they don't seem to understand is sod can be tricky and you can't even walk on if for 2+weeks after it's installed. I don't think they understand the process - it's not an instant perfect lawn from Better Homes and Gardens magazine. In fact, all lawn/yard stuff takes time to get established. Aren't they moving when the lease is up at the end of August/beginning of September?? That's not very long to enjoy it. It just seems so pointless and stupid and impractical!

I guess investing in the backyard means no travel all summer? I can't believe they'd have the $$$ for both. I honestly can't believe they have the money to reno the backyard to begin with! Do they even have a lawnmower?

What jackasses only sod half a lawn. It's obvious that his parents have been footing the bill lately. Neither of them work at all. They have expensive taste for people who have no job or savings at all. Them moving is obviously because they can't afford it and the only reason they're waiting the amount they are is to not break the lease. Their biggest reason for moving from Oregon was that they wanted to be near family and friends. Yet they plan on moving to a place they have never lived ? Sure. I bet their cash cows will put an end to that and insist if they're buying a house it be near them.

Also Kelsey is a moron. She does from using hee $400 diaper bag to that POS that is too small for anything.

Corbin is scum. I think that it's funny that something clearly happened. Brian won't even be in the same area as him. Everyone came to see Missy's horse and then Brian comes after they leave. I want to know what happened.

I think the tensions are between Bryan and Corbin. Missy and Kelsey were chatting like bestfriends at the play and Bryan was off to the far end only speaking to missy while Corbin was way off on the other end not talking to anyone lol... and honestly I bet Corbin was a shitty employee, we know his work ethics. My guess is Bryan and Corbin fought over: the amount being paid, the numbers of hours worked, or something related. Corbin is very entitled I could see him thinking he deserved a huge pay cut bc Bryan has the money to do so. Like no sir, just because he makes a million a year doesn’t mean your part time assistant job equals to being paid a full damn salary... OR maybe Corbin realized working for Bryan meant having to do shit like wear an elf costume and eat nasty spaghetti lol...

I imagine they thought M and B were inviting them out to CA to be part of a 'vlog squad' type setup where they're in each other's videos hanging out all the time. Whereas Corbin really was just...Bryan's assistant. To me them obviously not being allowed to vlog certain things says pretty clearly that Corbin was there to work, not become yt famous off Bryan's back. I actually think maybe the move to CA was Bryan's way of saying 'I'm not financing your channel anymore'. by giving him a job and a house as a fallback.

[lmmomSD]

I can absolutely see Bryan balking at continuing to supplement Corbin and Kelsey's lifestyle, especially since they seem unable to budget. My family helps me out, but I don't run around buying expensive things, and acting like I'm too good to work! And they're not family. I would have a hard time supporting friends who acted like a part time job was beneath them, and always had to have the best, even though they can't afford it. And I am sure my family would stop helping if I acted like that too. Plus, we have a plan, and an end in sight, and it seems that these two are expecting help indefinitely.
I also believe that C&K thought they were going to be like Team 10 or something, and get a big boost from being in B&M's vlogs all the time. And that Corbin didn't want to really be Bryan's assistant.

Now I really wonder why they rushed to move from Portland to SoCal in September. They still had 3-4 months on their apartment lease in Portland (and probably had to pay to get out of it). Now they live in a crappy rental house (which they didn't even see before they moved) in a remote suburb and seem sort of miserable and still lonely. Did they need to move fast because Corbin was working for Bryan? Did he last even two months working for the Lannings??

Something definitely happened because the Lannings didn't even invite them to Bryan's b-day or to that pool place - they invited annoying Jinger and Carl...who live in UTAH! I also really want to know what happened between Bryan and Corbin!!!!

Did they stop posting videos on Mondays?? I have zero interest in Kelsey's channel content, so it seems like a waste to post only there.

Yep.. i manage 50+ rental houses. Pretty much any unapproved improvements to the home would be considered breaking the lease and could mean eviction and the tenant having to pay for repairs. Granted i might not see something as benign as painting a bedroom a neutral color without permission an offence to kick you out, but if you paint the living room neon pink and green stripes then we are going to have issues. You would not be getting back your full security deposit, i can tell you that for sure! Laying sod?? Not gonna happen without a fight, nope nope nope..

Off topic but we have a "neighbor" who just built a brand new house about 1.5 years ago. Had sod laid. He has NO IDEA how to maintain this lawn and has mowed the damn thing to death. He did not let it get established before he started mowing it and continues to mow it EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND. I mean it's his grass and his money so whatever you want to do buddy.. my wild and natural lawn looks a million times better than his patchy brown mess that he has now.

[Steps_to_STFU]

I would kill to know what happened. Honestly I think all C&K's living above their means has caught up to them. Kelsey getting her hair and nails done bi-weekly and shit is a bit much. I just love how they cherry pick this whole earth mother hippie persona they're trying to portray. Neither could care less about that. They like their fancy laid back easy life too much

[HashtagBlessed]

We know working for Bryan wouldn't be a picnic and Corbin can't hold down a job to save his life, so it was going to end badly. Even I'm surprised that it imploded that quickly. Did they take the first couple of paychecks from Bryan, buy that expensive furniture, and then immediately plan their exodus from California? Not taking part in Bryan's birthday is another telling sign.

If you look at their social blade figures, it almost looks like they could be making a decent living, until you realize that's pre-tax and before Fullscreen takes their 30% share. And this is after they got a pretty decent bump from moving to CA and cross promoting with the Lannings. They must have really been struggling in Portland. I'm questioning how they even afforded this move in the first place. I'm reasonably sure they depleted any savings they had on their van trip, and they immediately jumped into the very expensive venture of having a baby. Not to mention any student loans or credit card debt they had. I don't know how they added a car payment to that. All of that to say, I don't know how they could afford this move in the first place. One of the rentals they were looking at was $1,900 a month, so I'm assuming this rental is in a similar price range. They certainly don't need a four bedroom single family home. I wonder how much of this move was financed by Missy & Bryan. I wouldn't be surprised if they co-signed the lease for them.

[lmmomSD]

I couldn't figure out why they thought they needed such a big rental. Weren't they trying to be all "minimalist", living in the studio in Portland? And then they move into a four bedroom rental, and need all this furniture to fill it. Not "minimalist" at all.
I don't think they know _how_ they want to live. Be hippies who like to camp. and travel? Be a little suburban family? Honestly, I think that they would adopt whatever lifestyle got them the most views.

I think this is all spot on. Just add on a couple factors.... Sponsored videos* AND they work for that other channel, Baby League...both were something Bryan did and knows how to help Corbin set up. Those extras certainly help!

I think the cross promo was hurting DB's brand. They were doing the same things every day together. It was too much and it took away from their brands. I think they still hang out when possible but there was a mutual decision to step away from FILMING each other while together...Remember that whole prank thing corbin and kelsey tried to pull off on the bumps? It was pretty lame. For some reason I don't think the bumps appreciated the poorly executed 'prank'.

I also think the quick move was because bryan and missy were playing mother hubbard and decided moving by them "would be great!" I'm sure they offered to help them make the move down (rental/moving service) and help them find a rental (just like they did), and to help establish their channel. Originally there must have been a project bryan and Corbin were working on because it made it seem like that's why Corbin was down there in the first place.

With all that said, why wouldn't they move? Its closer to family, provides the stability they NEED to raise a daughter, and gives them CHEAP housing with space for their daughter to grow. Despite the disgusting weather the move was probably the best decision for these vagabonds.

Yes! I completely agree with you. Corbin is just so slimy and all he really care about other than his precious bug is making the almighty dollar at whatever cost it maybe. He is just such a poser and hearing him say my love 300 thousand times makes me want to hide under rock. Kelsey has the worst smile two... only he could love her.

[Steps_to_STFU]

These people have no personality or sense of responsibility. From day one of watching them it's like they pick and choose hot topics and try to portray that as their belief. Take her birth plan. The constant "no epi no pitocin it's bad!!" She rammed down your throat every episode. Then who used both those things? Because dumb bitch didn't know what she was talking about. First time mom who was taking this stance because it's a hot topic stance. Then cloth diapers.. They were never ever going to use the evil disposable... She's never worn cloth diapers and they had a sponsor from Huggies lol. Like these idiots. They weren't going to have a car because they didn't need one and the impact on the environment blah blah. Took them a month with a newborn to realize you can't walk everywhere in the rain with a new baby. So not only do they get a car but one of the most expensive cars possible. Then they tried to jump on the vaccine bandwagon and lecture but they have no fucking clue what they're talking about. I mean Kelsey has to be one of the biggest brain dead people I have watched. She just laughs her stupid laugh when she is confused, which is often. Nothing would make me happier then seeing Corbin brought down a peg or two.

Amen!!^^^^

Are we watching the same channel?

Closer to family? You mean Corbin's aunt/cousins (who live at least an hour from their current house)? Corbin and Kelsey's REAL families live in Idaho...so they moved farther away from family. Um, where they live might be less expensive for SoCal, but by no means is it cheap housing! It's a junky rental house and they already plan to move AGAIN by the end of 2018!! Disgusting weather??? I lived in LA for five years and it's the BEST weather of any place I've ever lived.

[ButterflyB]

I really don’t understand why they are spending all this money on a yard that isn’t even theirs. It would be one thing if they planned on renting the house for a few more years but they plan on moving before the end of the year so why spend money on yard renovations?

None of us get it. They could even get in trouble with the landlord for doing it.

Took the words out of my mouth. Southern California may get warm in the summer, but while everyone else is was dealing with snow, we've been in the 70's and can drive to snow if we want it. And Murrieta may not be as expensive as LA or San Diego proper, but a 4 bedroom rental there is NOT cheap. Especially not cheap in all caps.
Missy may still be friends with them, but there is definitely something off between Bryan and Corbin. Just like with Jeff and Tal, and the SlyFox Family. And now B&M are "best friends" with Carl and Jinger.
