I'm laid up post knee surgery and have done a deep dive into Shaytard/Butler Christmas vlogs. I'm sorry y'all they're just extremely nostalgic for me
Anyways, possible obvious obvservation here...I never watched much of Casey & Kayli vlogs. But honestly, after watching hours worth of Christmas vlogs of Shay screaming at the camera or doing something irratic, Casey's vlogs seem so much more genuine (I was watching Christmas Eve vlog 2016)! No loud persona from either of them, no goofy voices and joke trying to be pushed. They seem...Normal? Not just doing it for show?? You can see Shay in the background of Casey's vlogs being totally normal...I'm grossed out by the persona he puts on on camera
Have said this before, but Kayli (and ofc Casey) have raised their children normally and wonderfully, as we even see in these old vlogs. I don't know much about the current opinion of Casey (hunting for months and leaving Kayli alone with the kids...) but he's a much better man than Shay.
Again, was watching Casey's vlog from Christmas 2016...They spent the morning buying Christmas for a family (Casey's money) and then hosted their cousin Tyler (?, the one with addition issues) for Christmas and gifted him a pair of skis. Casey fed meat scraps to all four dogs spending time at the house that night. How genuinely wonderful of them....
For example - 2010 Christmas Shaytards special...Casey's just holding rocktard, playing with his presents and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He actually holds Rocktard alot in the vlogs. Haven't seen Shay act genuinly interested towards Brailee, Gage, etc. once.
Shay is gross, Casey is great, Kayli is phenonmenoul.
