- He literally found Hashtag
- Okay
- (Missy) I actually didn't,
I didn't think this would happen.
(Theme song playing)

Yo, we are just standing in the boys room, I
actually thought are we camping out in the woods
right now?
- (Ollie) Hey guys, there's a pincher bug right there.
- (Mom) ... oh what in the world? Oh gosh!
Did you just find this?
- (Ollie) Yeah
- (Mom) Okay, can you please step back Ollie?
- (Ollie) No!
- (Mom) That is so creepy! There's a pincher bug!
What do you guys call this bug where you live?
Because where I live we call them pincher bugs,
but I know that people all over the world call
(boys yelling)
call them all different things
so let me know what you call that.
Put it on a hot wheels track and
we're tossin it outside.
Bye pincher bug!
- (Ollie) Hey guys, when are we gonna open this door?
- (Mom) Uh, yeah, check out what's behind there.
Show them Ollie.
This is the craziest thing ever!
If you guys haven't watched the video where we
discovered a tiny little magical door
in the kids closet, in their bedroom, make sure
you guys go check out the video, I'll have it linked
up in the I card. It is the craziest thing we've
ever seen. It lights up, it like changes colors,
like underneath it, it's so weird and we definitely
need you guys' help on like how to open it, what's
going on? And how did it show up? We are like so
confused. The boys have just been like
trying to find clues as to how to get in there.
So anyways, make sure you guys go check out that
video of us finding it,
it is the craziest thing you'll ever see.
Okay guys, we need to talk.
We had a little bit of a situation that happened.
So a few days ago, Brian and I walked outside
and we found Ollie, with a shovel, trying to dig
up one of his old pets.
And at first we like were totally like, wo wo wo
what do you think you are doing? You cannot do that.
About four years ago when Ollie was literally
just learning to walk, we got him his very first pet
and it was a fish, a beta fish, and we named him
Hashtag Bruce Norbert, and we had him for
three years or so, he was definitely one of
our like beloved fishes, I mean, we talked a lot
on the vlogs, you guys might even remember him.
He was just a fun, easy pet for Ollie to have
just to feed every once in a while,
but unfortunately, he's a fish,
and he did pass away about a year ago.
And we actually did do a video about how he had
died and all that, we did bury him
in the back yard, in a little box, I think there
might even be like a little note inside the box.
So anyways, when we found Oliver, in the back yard
trying to dig him up, we quickly just kinda just
like talked to him and said " Ya know, you really
aren't suppose to dig up your pets.
When things die, you kinda remember them
in your heart, and you miss them and it was really
fun having them, and it's always hard
and you kinda have to move on".
But he just was not having it for that answer
and me and Brian kinda took a step back and we
kinda talked and we decided, it's just curiosity.
He's a little kid and he's curious and I think
a lot of kids would be.
I know that when I was a kid, I had this salamander
that I loved, I had lots of animals,
and he passed away, and I buried him
in my back yard, in a box, same kinda thing.
And I remember like trying to find him one time,
like digging him up and I could not find him.
But it's normal. Like, he's not like digging up
a dog or a cat, it's a tiny, tiny little fish.
If we navigate through this correctly, if we
help him with his curiousity, we can just help him
one feel more confident that we won't laugh at him
and tell him to knock it off, and that's no and
he can't do it.
It's a very innocent thing, I think, for him to do.
Obviously this is just our parenting choice
and something that we are okay with and maybe not
every parent would be okay with it, but
it's just a fish.
After many, many conversations and talks with him,
we are going to allow him to attempt to dig it up.
I actually want to see what Brian thinks, have him
tell you his thoughts about the whole thing.
Alright, Brian is sitting at his desk, and I just told
them about the situation about where Oliver wants
to dig up his old fish.
- (Brian) Oh Hashtag
- (Missy) Yes
- (Brian) That was, so weird.
I of course navigated through it by
tweeting about it
because that's what Lannings do.
And it was actually really funny too because twitter
even tweeted me and said RIP Hashtag Bruce Norbert,
and I thought that was just really cool.
- (Missy) I feel like at first, like you kinda
were like, no, not happening.
- (Brian) Really don't let him do this.
I feel like it's a completely normal fascination
I mean
- (Missy) It's an innocent idea.
- Totally! He kinda just needs to learn,
what's on the other side.
- Yeah, I totally agree, and obviously if this
was like a cat or a dog we would be like,
nope, sorry, that's not happening.
- Also, it's the month of October.
- (Missy) Yes! Exactly.
- It's kinda funny how like, what like,
two weeks before Halloween he's like,
I wanna dig up my dead pet.
- (Missy) I know.
What if we actually find a zombie fish?
- A zombie fish?
- And I actually think that this is one of
those moments we're going to remember forever.
When Ollie was five years old he was out there
trying to dig up his pet fish, and he even says
well, I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna put him in
the fish tank.
- He wants to just find his pet fish and put him
in the fish tank, it's the cutest thing.
- Which that was his original thought process,
we had to walk him through it
it's not gonna be alive Ollie, I'm so sorry.
Listen Ollie, the fish is definitely not alive,
cause fish need water to live right?
- I am putting it in the fish tank.
- I can't believe we actually caught it on camera
and that we're going to be able to remember it
forever that moment when he was five years old
when he thought he could dig his fish up and
put it in the fish tank.
So let's see how it goes.
Alright next we're gonna go talk to Ollie
and grab him and go start digging.
But thumbs up this video if you guys have ever
had a pet, or if you've ever loved a pet, cause Ollie's
had lots of pets and he's buried quite a few animals
in our backyard.
Alright, there's Ollie.
How's it going? You playing?
- Yeah
- We've been talking a lot about Hashtag right?
You still wanna dig up Hashtag, is that correct?
- Yep
- (Missy) And why do you want to do that?
- Cause I love him.
- (Missy) Cause you love him.
And what are you hoping you will find?
- I'm hoping I could find him.
- (Missy) You just wanna find him?
Do you think he's gonna be alive?
- I know he's dead but I
- (Missy) You just wanna see?
- Yeah
- (Missy) You just kinda curious?
Okay, so what do you think?
Do you think it's going to be a little weird?
Do you think it's going to be like a little creepy?
What do you think?
- I think it's gonna be fine.
- It's gonna be fine?
Alright well I think we're definitely going to need
to get papa to help us out, okay?
- He might be here right now.
- Yeah, I think he is here right now.
So we're going to go grab him and attempt
to see if we can even find Hashtag.
We know where we buried him. Let's go show them
where we buried him.
- (Ollie) It's over here.
- (Missy) Okay, let's go look.
We can kinda look. We've actually already attempted
to see if we could find anything and we could not.
Right? That's why we are recruitting papa's help.
We buried him under this big tree,
next to this rock.
- Because I can remember when I sit here.
- (Missy) Yes, you can sit here and you can remember
Hashtag huh? We actually had that little stone on
top of it, but the stone has been moved.
He's somewhere over here. That's kinda
like the general area. We'll have to get like a
good shovel and see what we can do. Okay?
- (Ollie) Okay
- (Missy) Alright dad is here.
He's ready to help us do this, what do you think?
- (Papa) I don't know.
- (Missy) Alright, I guess we'll see.
Alright Ollie, we're pretty sure he's over here right?
- (Ollie) Yep
- (Missy) So we've got a sharp shovel
and papa's got a sharp shovel and
we're gonna try to do this.
- (Papa) Are you sure this is where he was?
- (Missy) We're pretty sure. I feel he's right
under this rock so he could sit here.
- (Papa) I don't think it went this deep.
- (Missy) Really? Maybe it's over a little.
Alright, we're still digging.
- You guys trying to find it?
_ (Missy) Yep. Brian's here.
Didn't we put it right here next to this rock?
- I thought we did. I thought I put the rock over it.
- (Missy) Yeah, I'm pretty sure that rocks been
moved a million times.
(music playing)
- So Ollie, when we did him up, what's the first
thing you're gonna tell him?
- I don't know.
- Are you gonna tell him about our fish tank
and our other fish we got?
(Missy laughing)
_ (Missy) You're not sure? Maybe just tell like,
I miss you Hashtag.
- Hashtag was like the inspiration for our whole fish tank.
- (Missy) I know.
- That's my first pet when I was little.
- ( Missy) Yeah
- I remember the day you brought him home Ollie,
it was so cool.
- (Missy) Your face was so excited we got him huh?
- (Ollie) Yeah
- (Missy) You were like ah.
We're having a really really hard time guys.
We are not finding any box back here.
Karma, did you dig up a box?
(music playing)
- (Ollie) What do you think we're gonna find?
What do you think we're gonna find?
Hashtag or nothing? Comment down below.
- (Brian) Alright guys, comment down below,
what are they gonna find? Yes, you're eyes do not
deceive you. This is my family, digging up their
dead pet fish.
- (Missy) So I actually went back, and I found a picture.
(music playing)
Okay, I think we might have found
Oh my goodness! Is that it Ollie?
So this is definitely the box cause it's got a
little anchor on it right? Yeah, that's it.
- We found Hashtag!
- Okay
- (Missy) I actually didn't think this would happen.
Alright, so here it is. It is very dirty.
It kinda looks like the woods a little bit warped
because it's been in wetness underground.
So here's the anchor, pretty cool.
- (Brian) Wow
- (Missy) Well, see, I told you we buried him.
- I wanna open it.
- (Brian) Why do you wanna open it?
- I wann open it cause I love him.
(music playing)
- I think I popped it open, let's see.
Okay, alright, there is a note in here.
I think we should just pull the note out
and maybe that would make him kinda
- (Brian) Yeah, pull the note out.
- (Missy) Oh, look at this.
- (Brian) Did you and Ollie do that?
- Yeah. I'm hoping it still unravels cause
it was paper but it says loved by millions
youtube.com /Daily Bumps.
There was this little note. We can retry to open it
and see what it says.
Okay, let's see.
(music playing)
Oh, I don't know if it's gonna unravel.
Yeah, it's like pretty
- (Brian) It's to old?
- (Missy) Yeah, even if I tear it, even if I do that
it's just gonna tear.
- (Brian) Awe
- Awe, there's totally like writing in there.
It's like, it's so cute.
- (Brian) Let's not, let's not mess it up Ollie.
So let's just leave it in there okay?
- (Missy) It's been in there for to long.
(music playing)
- (Brian) Spell Hashtag
- So it says loved by millions,
youtube.com/ Daily Bumps.
Isn't that funny?
We put it on it so they could watch who he is.
And watch the videos of you getting
him for the first time, huh?
- (Missy) That's so cool.
Alright Ollie, so what did you think of that?
- It was great, but it was gross!
- (Missy) Yeah it was, well are you glad you did it?
- Yeah
- (Missy) Yeah? You feel like it was a good decision?
- Uh huh
- (Missy) Okay, and what did you learn?
- I learned about don't dig him up.
- (Missy) That's true huh? You're like, okay,
never gonna dig up a fish or an animal again right?
- Yes
- Yeah, it was definitely a little creepy and gross
but I don't really feel bad about it.
I definitely feel like he was like, okay,
that was gross, not gonna do that again.
I don't feel he was like, oh, interesting.
Done with that. I'm so glad we got that behind us.
(creepy music)
- Goodnight Hashtag. It's good to see you back.
