RUSSELLS STORY

Ashley has been very, very busy with her business. She's like next level busy, so I'm the one who has to step it up and vlog. Eric, those are my boobies. Jeez, who does that? The camera looks so much better like three feet away. I almost hit him, dude. Two feet, I did hit him. Well, I don't know if you guys know Eric. Eric's our cousin, Ashley's side. He's like my little brother that I didn't have. Oh wait, I had little brothers. They were just bigger than me. Well, Ashley's back there doing a live video for her team. She's like really busy this month. We've got a lot going on, so instead of not vlogging at all, I'm gonna step up and I'm gonna be the one filming a lot. I know you guys don't like my face as much as you like Ashley's, but maybe we'll dedicate this month to just pranks on Russell, and I'll give Russell the camera so Russell can get pranks on me. Russell, come here really quick. Sit down next to me. All right, we're gonna nip this in the butt real quick. Russell, who Russell is, where Russell came from, why does Thomas mean to Russell? You know, we got a lot of questions. So we're gonna start right here. Russell is my older cousin that has been in my life since I was born. We grew up like within a few houses of each other. Russ just lived down the road. We've been best cousins is what we call it since I can remember. I don't remember life without Russ. When we were younger, we consistently pulled pranks on each other. Like it was Thomas versus Russell. Even though we were best friends, it was like, who could get who worse? We were really competitive. Anyway, he's like my little sister. So it was always like a competitive thing, like who was better at what, who could do what better than who. And then as we got older, I just was able to obtain more resources. Russ kind of forgot to grow up a little bit. So I've been kind of helping take care of Russ since we were, gosh, 17, 16, yeah? Dude, my jaw actually hurts. I know, I actually freaking got him. I didn't hit him hard. I shook him though. It was like a shake on the brain. You're right in the jaw. Like a little shake on the brain. I got it coming back. I just don't want to. Dude, when my mouth's open, you can't do that. I know. These teeth cost money. These are all fake. I know. He owes me new ears. Well, really quick, let's break it down quick. We prank each other every day, all day, every day. I film it, Russell doesn't. So when people are like, you guys are so mean to Russ, that's not true. Russell, if you see the things Russell does. I'm just in it for the excitement. He freaking figured out how to freaking catch it and make it fun. Yeah, Russell just doesn't have a cell phone to catch things. I do, I got a camera, I got a cell phone. And we give Russ an allowance, you guys. We give him an allowance to help get him the things he needs. He doesn't have to work. He just hangs out with us. We're homies. We take care of each other, you know? I'm not gonna hurt you. Don't get all tight and nippy, dude, you know? So that's kind of Russell's backstory. His mom passed away when he was a little kid. His dad wasn't really in his life. He lived with my grandparents, they raised him. And so my family kind of like brought Russ in and we've just been close ever since. So that's a quick background story on Russ. Sometimes he disappears for a couple years at a time. That's not an exaggeration. Like a year from the last video you guys saw him in and how he was missing for a whole year till now, I didn't know where he was either. He just hit me up one day and was like, hey bro, I'm over in Reno. You wanna bring me back? What's up, what's good? And I was like, yeah dude, here's a bus ticket. Come on back. Dude, I look good in this video, right? Do you see me in this freaking shot, bro? Russell, there's one thing Russ is good at and it's getting ladies. No, it's not getting ladies. Whether they're real or not, he could get ladies. I may be fair to decent, fair to Midland looking, as soon as I open my mouth, that's like the Midland is like into a land. I'm an average looking cat, but freaking as soon as I start talking, these ladies are like, oh no. No? Well, I don't know. If you're a girl and you've been texting Russell, there's a 50-50 chance. Like if he's good at talking to you, there's a 50-50 chance that it's been me that's talking to you for him. Cause he hands me phones and he's talking to me. What do I say? I need a shout out. And it was something as simple as this. The girl's like, hey, what are you doing tonight? Tom, Tom, hey, hey, Tom, what do I say to this, bro? What do I say? So that was all. Shout out to Thomas. Thomas, thanks for getting me some ladies. All right. Well, if you're watching, he's still looking for you. He's still feeding you. Rebelle, babe, I love you. He still leaves food out in the bushes for you. Where are you at, girl? All right, just kidding, but seriously. All right, that's a wrap on the story of Russell. Everybody just saw him punch me in the mouth. When I shut this camera off, it's on. Since you guys are so sure that it's cold, let's go outside and look. Come on, Timey. You guys need blankets? Go, go, go, go, go. Let's go, watch. You guys are gonna be like, oh my goodness, it's so hot. Look, it's not cold outside. Okay, are you guys convinced it's not cold now? See, I told you it's hot, you silly. All right, let's roll, let's go. Russell thought it would be a good idea to take my car this morning without asking, and he doesn't have a driver's license, so I had to give him at least 17 shots from the BB gun, and it felt pretty good, I'm not gonna lie. Well, we're gonna go to grandma's school, and my kids are convinced that it's cold out here, even though it's 90 degrees. So Simon's got a blanket, and Uncle Eric's helping him bring it. We made it home alive. I'm eating my food. I don't know if you guys know, but these only have five carbs in them, freaking amazing. What are you eating? A hot dog with no bun. That's probably the grossest thing on planet Earth. Simon, what you got? A hot dog with a bun. American, bro, I like it. Eric, what you got working here? A guac burger with the sauce and the lettuce. Oh, and the big old pickle, huh? Oh, yeah. You would be a pickle eater. Eric would be a pickle eater. I don't know where Russ went. He's hiding somewhere. You guys know how it goes. Russ disappears, Russ does what he wants. But we did tell you guys Russell's story today. Maybe we'll do a more in-depth one. Comment below if you want a more in-depth one of Russell telling the full story, because there are times, you guys, when Russell has lived on the street, he has done some things that only people on the street would do, and there's some interesting stories. We might have to put a disclaimer that it is not appropriate for people under the age of 13 to hear, but maybe we could do that for you. Time for me to go pull some weeds, and no matter what, Ashley will work on the floor, on the toilet, on the sink, on the kitchen counter. She don't care. She just, when she needs to work, she works. I'm on my landline, currently. She's currently on her landline. So, when Ashley sets a goal, basically, I gotta just get out of the way. You know, sometimes I gotta just own it. Okay, babe, I'm gone, I'm gone. You want me to get out of the way? I'm gone. All right, so let's just give you guys a rundown. Nothing should be in here, green-wise, except for big plants, like that, that. I don't know what those are. Someone give me a comment if I should keep those. That stays, obviously, those. But all these little trees that are growing that are just weeds, and this grass, that stays, obviously. But this stuff all needs to go. So, it's safe to say we've got our work cut out for us. So, Russ, let's grab a garbage can, bring it down here, and we'll just start scooping these up. Deal? That means no deal, and he's gonna walk away and hide somewhere. Or he's gonna figure out how to do something besides work. We're making progress. But holy cow, is this a lot of work. Way more work than I thought. Only showed the nice part, right there, you know? Yeah, there's a big pile. Russ is working hard. He really wants a pack of diggies. For peanuts, bro. ♪♪♪ Russell went above and beyond today. So, he gets a nice, special cookie. No, but really, he really did work really hard. I'm very impressed. Now it's time to go in and see what Ashley needs. But today has been an eventful day, like, work-wise. Getting a lot of stuff done. A lot of stuff. I'm running the boys real quick to the dollar store because they've been crying all day about wanting some, what do you guys wanna go get? Happy Meal toy set. Basically, fake food from the dollar store. Guys, where are we? At the store. What store are we at? Grandma's. Good job. Wait, robot? Yep. Oh, yeah. This is the Happy Meal food you want, huh? Where's the french fries? You see them in there? They're right there. And like, what's that, mustard? And ketchup? What are those? Oh, an apple. Look at it. No. That is funny. Cohen, where are you gonna put yours? On your sad cheek? Yeah? Cohen, are you sad? Hey, turn that frown upside down. Why are you crying, honey? That's because when you look at toys, you cry and want to buy them. So, we don't look at them. Yeah, well, you cry. Yeah, I know. My kids trick me. They promise me, they promise me they wouldn't ask for more toys when we walked inside and they asked for more toys. So, I'm very mad. Cohen, what do you have to say? What do you have to say? What do you want to order? I would like to order an ice cream cone. Can I get a strawberry flavored one? The pink kind? And can I get a hot dog? You spilled my ice cream. Okay. You got broccoli? I would like a bun with it, yes? Thank you. That is salt. Will you sprinkle some salt on my hot dog? Thank you. That's spaghetti. I would love some grapes and a Krabby. Thank you. I would like, see this is a hamburger. Will you make, where's the bun? Okay. I would love that. Cereal. Can I pay you my moneys now? Here you go. Oh, what a beautiful day today has been. Lots of stuff happened today, huh? Working in that garden and weeding literally has destroyed my eyes because of my allergy. Thank you guys for watching our wonderful day. Ashley, say goodnight. Goodnight, guys. We love you all. Ashley Hughes, you're so cool. We didn't get to see much of Ashley today, did we? Yeah, we did. I took him on a run. We will see you guys tomorrow night.
