You can't get more simple than a leopard gecko and if it makes ollie happy, who cares? He loves animals. Why not nourish that? that being said I'm a reptile breeder with dozens of geckos in my house. lol It made me almost cry how happy ollie was about the gecko. All those toys and expensive gifts and he is most happy about a $20 lizard, he's such a sweet kid.

I can see your point. But they seem to collect and discard animals fairly regularly. Whatever happened to the chickens? The mouse? The betta fish? We know Zuri was given to Jimmy, and hopefully she's happy with him.
And the fact that they were completely unaware that the bearded dragon wasn't eating the roaches and that they were reproducing (even if they weren't nasty American roaches, it's still gross), doesn't speak to them taking really good care of the critters they have. They don't research breeds, just get them; and are surprised that the Savannah cat has a high prey drive and the Aussie wants to herd the kids.
I think it's great that Ollie loves animals. I didn't so much like their "mini Steve Irwin" thing, especially when they were throwing shade at the Johnsons, but that's another story. It's his parents' lackadaisical attitude and the way they encourage him to pick up every critter he sees instead of teaching him to respect them from a distance, that I have problems with.
Hopefully the gecko will thrive.

I don't know what you are saying about the dubia roaches because i missed that video I think, but if they escaped the bowl and bred that is pretty damn normal they can hide easily. Once they escape into the enclosure they are almost impossible to find. And they will not reproduce in your house like a regular roach, they can't even climb a wall. Their bearded dragon looks very healthy and has grown into a beautiful animal so they are doing something right with it. Maybe they are meant for reptiles rather and dogs and cats, they are so much easier to care for... I honestly wish my kids loved reptiles as much as Ollie does lol my sons each have their "own" gecko but they really don't care that much and I'm the one that feeds them, they help sometimes though.

As for the betta they had that thing for like 4 years which is about 2 years longer than the typical lifespan, bettas don't live that long. They took fairly good care of it from what I saw. The mouse was a horrible mistake, they got a male mouse which are incredibly stinky and make horrible pets, they probably very quickly realized what a bad idea it was. Mice honestly don't make that good of pets. Females can make ok pets but they need to be kept in pairs and they only live about 1 year. Not a good pet for a child to get attached to only to die so early. They were probably talked into the mouse by the pet store, not that good of an excuse because they should have done research beforehand but that type of thing happens every day. Petco employees talk people into animals they aren't ready for/shouldn't have all the time.

Also I don't want to seem like i'm defending them or like them, just saying some of these pets have been pretty well taken care of. I just wish they would get poor Finn help with his speech. I check in with them every once in a while and i am blown away with Finn's speech.

Nah, I don't think you're defending them. If the bearded dragon seems healthy and growing to you, and you obviously know more about them than I do, I'll take your word for it!
There's a difference between defending them blindly and making actual salient points. No worries!

My point wasn't even that he got another pet. The point is he gets whatever he wants

Re: Ollie singing Whiskey Glasses, I don’t think it’s a big deal. He doesn’t know what it means. When I was 3, my favorite song was Strawberry Wine, which is about a teenager losing her virginity...and I didn’t realize that until about 10 years later lol. My family thought it was hilarious when I belted it out though.

BUT my family also didn’t post it on social media for the world to see. It’s fine the kid sings the song, but it’s tacky as hell for Bryan to post it.

I'm excited for his country journey. Like Reba's momma said, "here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down"

Wish this site had the Emojis like the other one does lol

I can see that. Good point. And I honestly think he was just using it to try to get Morgan Whallen's attention. Tagging him, and then posting "we need to get this kid to a country show!"-- it was calculated. He's trying to get country stars' attention now just like he's tried to get pop stars' attention in the past.
Hate to break it to you, Bryan, but it probably won't work. Taylor Swift reposted a video of Emmi from Shaytards either singing one of her songs or saying how much she loved Taylor Swift, can't remember which. And it didn't get them anything. Shay took the girls to a concert, getting them all amped that maybe she would ask them onstage (if that was going to happen, they would have heard from her) and nothing happened. And Shay was bigger than Bryan. The way Bryan just tags famous singers is so cringey.

They are posting instastories of getting the house ready to sell. Actually, Missy is. Bryan is posting the same video of the empty play room, and says "big changes" while Missy says "getting ready to sell".

Sorry for multiple posts. Not feeling well, and just hanging out on the couch. But Bryan posted about getting rid of the Christmas tree, and said "just tossed it in the trash!".
DO THEY NOT RECYCLE?
Arrrrgh. They really don't give a shit do they? Run water while they stand there talking. Stand with the refrigerator door open. And just "toss the tree into the trash".

Social blade shows them loosing 3 million views on January 3. Maybe new rules are really going into effect? Funny a day after they show that they’re actually doing something about selling the house.

The house needs new paint and lots of things fixed before it can be sold. I’ve noticed it looks shabby around the doors, etc.

That is a pretty big dip. 3.3 million. As if they went in and cleaned it out, like the views were not legit. There were sub dips in December as well. Does YouTube clean out fake or inactive accounts to correct itself? A 10K sub dip is big. Maybe under those fake 10K accounts they generated 3.3 million views? I'm sure the partner props these guys up to make it look like they get more views than they really are getting. The partner is also getting paid out of the same thing...CPM. Con game.

Money is definitely running low, otherwise they would have hire a crew to clean and fix whatever needed to be fix, is crazy how they put so much money on that pool to selling just 2 years later I think?

I’ve also noticed they haven’t been doing things with their assistant Dallas and BFF Brooke. No big Halloween party, no big New Year’s Eve party, etc. nothing was ever mentioned about that “show” he did early December. They took a quick trip to big bear and Idyllwild and are spending it seems time as a couple at a winery (sometimes with the kids).

I think he’s got that ep coming out that he thinks will launch his country career. I’m betting he’ll try and get the minions to preorder it like he did the last time.

The recording studio has got to be a huge drain on $$$.

Have they mentioned why they are moving?

They just want something different is the excuse they are giving but it’s so obvious it’s money problems.

[Tiger27]

I think that house is going to be a hard resale. I hate the floor plan and the ridiculous fake rock structure around the pool would have to come down. Besides paint, they didn’t make a ton of modern or high end upgrades.

Especially because when they bought it, they said they knew it was their "forever home" as soon as they saw it.
If it wasn't for the studio, I could almost give them props for seeing the writing on the wall and downsizing, if that's what they are doing. But I don't see a lot of changes in their spending, except for maybe fewer trips.

It's going to kill them if they'll be forced to go back to living in a community like their olds bff's and her parents, the houses are so close!
I am curious to see what they sell the house for.

The house was just a filming studio for them. That is not a home. Since moving into the house they changed the kitchen, paint, ruined the pool, put a chicken coop in the backyard, put in a magical door in a closet and got rid of the batting cage thing to put in an outdoor kitchen. On top of that they found out they don' t have a pond after all and that owning and maintaining a house and land is expensive. If anything they should want out because of all the fires. Perhaps they want out before fire season roars back. Not that there is a fire season in California anymore... It seems like it has been an all year round thing. There was all that rain recently so hopefully all is well for awhile, at least until summer, when it will probably dry out again.
