- Hey, good morning everybody
and welcome to the vlog.
I hope the start of your day is amazing
and by the way, merry Christmas.
I hope that you have an amazing holiday.
I can't think of a better way to spend my morning here
than having Santa Claus feed some giant snakes,
starting with my bad girl that made the naughty list
this year, Lucy.
So what do you say (laughing) we go ahead feed her.
We'll feed Ivy, Butterscotch, I don't know,
but I really do hope you guys have an amazing day.
Down in the comments,
let me know how your Christmas is going,
what you got this year for Christmas,
what were you excited about, something like that.
I'm just excited about the expansion of the Reptarium.
That's what I was hoping for
and that's what I asked Santa for.
Okay Lucy, it's Christmas time.
Merry Christmas, girl.
Oh, it's not exactly the best thing I could possibly.
Oh shoot, oh my gosh.
Come on girl, come on.
I'm a little concerned about the fact that
my suit here looks like a rabbit.
Come on, girl, come on.
Oh, there we go.
(laughing)
That's a girl.
I'll tell you what, I love it.
I'm excited it's Christmas,
I'm excited for my girl even though
she made the naughty list.
It's getting a little bit of a tree today
and it's gonna be an amazing day
and I cannot wait to share the entire experience.
As a matter of fact, later on our crew are going out
for our Christmas party.
We're doing a paint and kind of a,
I don't know, just a lot of fun.
We got a few presents we're gonna open up today.
It's gonna be an amazing day
so let's go ahead and feed some other snakes.
Oh and by the way, I might give RJ a treat too.
Ho ho ho, the next (laughing) one up is Butterscotch.
Let's see what this girl's got going on.
Come on, Butterscotch.
Okay, here she comes, here she comes.
Here you go, girl.
Come on, girl, come on come on.
You want it, girl?
No.
As it turns out, I guess she's not a Christmas fan.
She must not like Santa if you know what I mean.
She's actually just coming out of shed
and this year, I guess she's skipping Christmas.
I'm pretty sure my girl Ivy here is definitely
gonna be interested in a little piglet for Christmas
so let's go ahead and see what she's got.
She's way over here in the corner.
Not exactly the most ideal position for me
because I have to climb in this cage
and then I have to somehow get her incited to come out.
Oh, she's coming.
Whoa, woo hoo.
(laughing) Oh my gosh.
She was excited for sure.
All right Ivy, merry Christmas girl, I love you.
(upbeat music)
Only gonna feed a few snakes today for Christmas
'cause after all, it is Christmas.
So I'm gonna go ahead and see if my girl Daisy
wants to eat something.
Girl, you want a Christmas treat?
Come on girl, there you go girl, there it is.
Whoa.
There you go.
Ah, there it is.
Good job, honey.
Woo hoo, I'll tell you what,
no better way to spend a holiday than with my animals
for sure I mean after all,
really 365 days a year is a treat for me,
but this Christmas is extra special
and what I mean by that is although the holiday
is certainly a special day
and it's great to spend time with family
and friends and stuff like that,
the truth is is I couldn't be more blessed
to be able to do what I love every single day
and honestly, you guys are a major part of that.
If you guys didn't support me,
which by the way, maybe I should take this off
if I'm doing this serious talk.
If you guys didn't support me,
I wouldn't be able to do the things I love
so thank you guys.
I mean, you guys are really giving me a present
every single day with your support
and I am just so excited about what's going on.
Now and what's happening in the future
with the Reptarium,
I mean, this expansion is gonna be ridiculous.
There's not a minute of the day
that I'm not thinking about that place.
Cannot wait to get it open
and I can't wait to share the entire process with you.
Of course, we brought you along
on the first set of builds at Universal Rock
but we're gonna go back down there
to finish it up, bring it up here, install it.
You guys are gonna live the whole thing
and because of you, I'm able to do this,
so thank you guys so much.
Again, every day you guys are my Christmas present
365 days a year so thank you guys
and I really truly truly hope
that you guys have an amazing, amazing holiday.
I don't know about you guys,
but I spoil my animals
so it's not like I'm gonna only give one meal
on Christmas to Lucy so let's go ahead
and she if she wants another.
Come on girl, come on sweetie, let's go.
There you go, there you go.
Come on Lucy, come on Lucy, want another?
Oh, there she is.
What a great snake.
I'll tell you what, every day I feel so happy
that I have such an amazing snake like Lucy.
Daisy, whoa whoa, Daisy.
Calm down, girl.
You want another one?
Here you go, baby.
There you go, there you go.
(laughing)
Daisy isn't usually that kind of aggressive
when it comes to feeding so it's good to see her
turning on and really looking beautiful.
I figure I'll give Ivy a rabbit.
So she ate a pig the first time around,
now I'll give her a rabbit, here you go girl.
Here you go, oh.
She is so lightning quick.
And the last snake I'm gonna feed today for Christmas
is my boy Caspar here.
He looks like he's pretty interested.
Come on, Caspar.
Come on, buddy.
Come on, baby.
Whoa, come on.
There you go, bud, there you go.
Merry Christmas, buddy, merry Christmas.
(upbeat music)
Well, it wouldn't be Christmas
if Lorie didn't wanna add one more tree
to the Barczyk family house
and after all, hey, it's Christmas.
She wants a real tree.
I guess we're going to get a real tree.
Lorie, what's going on?
Do you wanna get a tree, another tree?
- Yeah, why not?
- [Brian] Why not?
Well gosh, it's Christmas now, so.
- Right.
Well my thought is that they're probably
even cheaper because it's so close to Christmas.
- [Brian] Oh my gosh.
You'll use any excuse.
(laughing) If I was using that excuse
about a snake, you wouldn't. - You do.
You actually do. - Oh yeah, that's true.
That's true, all right well let's go get a tree.
We are off to get our tree.
This is what, tree number 10 I think
if I'm not mistaken. - 11.
- 11?
But who's counting right?
So we're gonna actually get our live tree.
I'm pretty excited about it.
We always get a live tree every year.
Heading to the Blake's Orchard
where Lorie likes to get wine.
- Yes.
(laughing) - Okay.
We'll get a tree.
(blowing)
- [Man] (laughing) That stings, that stings.
- (laughing) All right, so we are here at,
he said all of the 10 foot plus ones are here
and he said over there there's even taller ones,
so I don't know.
Yeah, these look a little short.
I think we want what, like 12 foot or something like that?
- [Lorie] Yeah, I don't know what the height is.
I just know it's big.
(laughing)
- [Brian] Like something like this maybe,
like this height?
But that's an ugly tree.
- [Lorie] I was gonna say, yeah it's ugly, but maybe.
- And just to let you guys know,
it was like 50 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday.
It is like 25 degrees today.
It just got super cold over night here
so winter has definitely hit today.
It's Christmasy.
- [Man] 12 seconds later.
- [Brian] Can you just pick,
I'm fricking freezing. - This is why I hate
shopping with him, it's so annoying.
This is so gross.
(laughing) - You gonna muck it?
- Don't forget, there's plenty of that
Blake's delicious apple cider and donuts inside.
♪ Merry Christmas ♪
♪ We wish you a merry Christmas ♪
(upbeat music)
- [Man] Hey Brian, what's got you down, bro?
- I got sap on my hands, man.
I don't like sticky and greasy hands.
I'm freaking out. - He's losing it right now.
- It's like I went.
Careful, I don't wanna kill anybody.
(burping) Nice to save those.
- My what?
(upbeat music)
- Barczyk family Christmas tree.
How many is this, Lorie?
- I don't know. - This is like 11, right?
Is it 10 or 11 trees so far?
- [Man] You missed some.
- [Lorie] I don't know.
- One here, then we got two here.
We still got to decorate all of these.
We got a ton of ornaments,
we got so many ornaments it's not even funny.
Got two there, obviously the new one's three.
We got four over here, five, six,
and seven. - The bathroom.
Did you get that? - Seven,
so that's right, yeah seven here.
So seven in this house, yeah.
Seven trees. (laughing)
Back in the dungeon to see if my boy RJ wants to eat.
You wanna eat, bud?
You wanna eat, you wanna eat?
There you go, buddy, there you go.
Merry Christmas buddy boy.
(laughing)
I love RJ.
Oh and by the way, we have his pond decorated too.
We got the Christmas tree, some Christmas lights,
you know, we're festive down here with my boy RJ.
- Hey.
I just put together a nice little Christmas treat
for the tortoises, so I just kind of put
a bunch of variety in there that I know they all like
and a little Christmas treat for my babies.
That's so gross.
(laughing)
I guess it's more of an obstacle course than I meal.
I don't know. (laughing)
- Full course obstacle course.
I noticed Bowser was luring
which means he's just basically got his mouth open
with that tongue going,
so let's go ahead and see if he wants to eat
a little Christmas feast.
Let's go ahead and feed Bowser.
As soon as I walked up, he closed his mouth
but he was luring before,
so hopefully he'll wanna eat.
There it is, there we are buddy.
There we go, there it is.
There it is, good job, buddy. (laughing)
We don't feed them rodents very often.
Usually he's either getting fish or the crocodile chow
but he likes the occasional rodent and hey,
it's Christmas so I'm gonna give
all my animals treats.
All right guys, off to the company BHB and Reptarium
Christmas party, this should be a blast.
So we're at the party.
We're doing painting with a twist.
I'm not exactly sure what we're doing.
Of course, Lorie's drinking some wine.
What is this that we have here.
It's an Easter bunny?
It's an Easter alligator?
- There wasn't a Christmas one available
so we're just gonna modify it
and make it a Christmas gator.
- [Brian] Okay, Christmas gator.
Oh, so we have to modify it?
But did you still do the ears?
- Well no. - So this is the,
that's the actual painting here.
- [Lorie] And we're gonna make it Christmas.
- [Brian] We're making it Christmas.
- Well you can make it whatever you want to actually.
- All right good. - I think Steph's
gonna make hers Star Wars.
(laughing) - Oh yeah,
Steph always is creative.
Oh, she's doing Star Wars.
Oh yeah, that's awesome.
Okay so here we go.
(upbeat music)
Wrapping up here.
Noah, looks good.
There's my ugly piece right there,
Lorie's, yours looks nice.
Steph always does crazy stuff
and I love the little baby Chewy.
There you go, look at that.
(chattering)
- [Woman] It is very peppy.
- [Brian] Look at you, Olivia.
Got to keep going after a few minutes. (laughing)
Jessica's always is nice.
I don't expect anything different.
Hey, that's nice.
- (laughing) No dude.
- [Brian] It looks good.
- I get really discouraged 'cause I'm usually
pretty good at stuff but not painting.
- [Brian] No, you're good.
Aw, look at her work.
She's got that.
- [Man] Isn't that incredible?
- It's so good.
So we're just wrapping up here.
Let's see what, oh my gosh.
Every year this is a theme with you.
- [Man] Oh I know, I know.
- Theme with you, oh my god. (laughing)
So we're wrapping up here,
we're gonna head back to the shop
and have a little bit of a just kind of
celebration over there.
All right, so now we're actually gonna do a Secret Santa.
Basically, we all just pick names randomly
and then whoever you pick,
you have to buy a gift like $25
for that particular person, so that's next.
(upbeat music)
- [Man] Brian, what's going on, what's going on?
- I don't know, I think there's like
some pinata action about to happen.
I'm not sure. - How did this happen?
It's Christmas.
- (laughing) What's going on?
(speaking in foreign language)
- We got a pinata.
(laughing) - What the hell is going on?
- Okay. - What's the big idea here?
- The thing we got to figure out
is how to string it up?
Over the eyes.
(laughing)
- [Man] Merge, be careful.
Don't break anything, don't break anything.
- Just swing, swing. - Is it right there?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- [Woman] Hit the other side, other side, there you go.
(laughing)
- Back up, back up.
- [Brian] Just don't swing towards my voice.
(cheering)
- [Crowd] Oh!
- Swing, swing. - Go down, go down, harder.
(laughing)
- What the hell?
(laughing)
Should I stab it?
- I love that our. - Come on.
(cheering) - Yeah, there you go.
(cheering)
- [Man] All right, clean that up.
(laughing)
- [Woman] I got those right there.
(laughing)
