This is Ryan writing here to explain about why Crusoe ended up going for surgery, as I know many of you are curious if not eager to find out. I do apologize for the wait, it’s been a tiring week including traveling as you’ll see below. I believe we may have inadvertently made some of you worried about Crusoe’s long term health during all this, so I just want to start by saying Crusoe is and was never “sick”, and we don’t expect any future implications or illness as relating to this. Before we tell you the backstory as to WHY this all happened, just want to give you a quick update. Crusoe is do ..read more

With the amount of followers and reach that Crusoe has, I feel a duty to use our influence to promote the right attitude and behavior during this COVID-19 pandemic… Because still some people out there are not taking this seriously enough. When the words of the government and the experts are not enough to convince people, we need to get through to them in different ways. As the Surgeon General just said recently, “we need to get out our influencers”. If I can help push the trend for influencers to use their platforms to communicate these messages, and to potentially save lives by influencing re ..read more

Last week I released my bobsled episode about the Jamaican Wiener Dog Bobsled Team! Of course, based on the old classic movie of ‘Cool Runnings’! Except ours is ‘Cool Wieners’! There was a lot of work that went into this one, from the bobsled track we built in the backyard, to the bobsled itself made completely of cardboard, paper-mache, and an old sled for the base. But before I show you how we did it all, including a another bloopers and behind-the-scenes video below, watch the final episode to compare to! So firstly, were these adorable little speedsuit outfits and helmets! In fact, are m ..read more

Last week I released what was one of my biggest productions yet, and one of my personal favorites, Game of Bones! A lot went into this video, from making the cool intro sequence to the costumes to constructing a wall of snow, sword fight scenes and dragons, voice impressionists, and more! Game of Thrones is a notoriously expensive show to produce for HBO with each episode of this final season expected to cost a whopping $15 million to make! Mine wasn’t quite that much, but was still one of my biggest episode investments yet. So before we dive into all the behind the scenes, let’s watch th ..read more

Finally getting back to my Behind the Scenes blogs, we’re picking up where I left off! We didn’t have enough bonus content from April Fools video & Oakley’s vlog, but we do for Snowday! Including more of Oakley the chemist in the lab and how we did it! But first, watch the episode! The first part to note about this episode, was that it was filmed on the biggest snowfall we had this winter! Which was also a real snowday for the schools. In fact, Dad woke up one morning to see the front porch totally full of untouched snow, and thus sparked the idea for a snow day episode. The amount of sno ..read more

This past Sunday I aired my first episode of Season 3, also the first video I’ve released in months! The episode is called HAMSTERBOX and is of course a play on the Netflix smash movie, BirdBox featuring Sandra Bullock, which is a bit of a scary thriller! So, admittedly, it’s an episode where it definitely helps to have seen the movie first, otherwise you may been a bit lost. So for those who have not seen BirdBox, here’s the jist of it so you can understand the episode (warning: spoilers for anyone who still wants to watch the movie). BirdBox is about some sort of monster or ghost thingy (yo ..read more

Continuing from Part 1 of my book tour, I was still in Denver, having changed plans to fly to LA for the People’s Choice Awards instead of the originally planned Austin (which was rescheduled for later). Yet, since the PCA’s only invited us FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT, Mum and Dad didn’t have suitable clothes for such an event, so we had to go shopping! I was super excited to be fitted for a new suit! That is, until I was informed that only Mum and Dad would be getting new clothes… Since I already have “so many”. Pff. So since I had nothing to do, I took out my ball and gave them a relaxing, e ..read more

Now that I’m done my tour after over a month of traveling (but including a two week break in Florida), I am finally back, in the cold and snow. Yay. I had some incredible adventures, unexpectedly attended the heckin’ People’s Choice Awards (and won), met so many amazing people, and explored some great places. I’m going to take you through my tour (and attendance at the award show) in blog format, with more details and pictures I haven’t yet shared! This trip was to take me all over the US, and thus we had to pack for all different climates. And as many of you saw in my pictures to Facebook an ..read more

Welcome to the behind-the-scenes and the making of my FINALE episode of the season, and also my biggest production yet! This episode featured multiple custom sets, special effects, and STUNTS – done by my stunt double, who happens to be my brother Oakley! So before we get to how it was made, let’s rewatch the episode here! So, although my brother Oakley only had a short appearance in this episode as the techy-black-hat-stay-in-the-van guy… …He was actually in the episode a LOT when you consider all the stunts he did! I usually do my own stunts, but sometimes Oakley just has that… extra enthu ..read more

Well, Oakley’s back to school episode is currently my second most-popular episode of this season! I am happy for him, but also just a “tad” worried he may steal the Oscar I’ve been working towards!   Jokes of course, I’m happy the fans seem to love his adorable personality and looks so much <3 I mean, how does this little puppy on his way to school NOT tickle your cute receptors?! Guys, if you didn’t hear yet, I’ve made it to the FINALIST round in the People’s Choice Awards, and I still need your votes! I know it’s a lot to ask – to vote 25 times per day for me – but this is a race o ..read more
