Absolutely obsessed with this man and his lobster. This takes me back to the early days of KZfaq, before streamers and influencers. Just a man sharing his hobby.

Brady speaks kindly of his mother, gives abandoned cats a loving home, helps a grocery store lobster have a second chance at life, reads the comments on his videos, and encourages all of us to share our stories with him and each other. Yeah man...you're definitely a gem of a human :)

Aside from the quality content of these videos, I have to notice how nice it is to find a creator on KZfaq who treats their audience like they have an attention span longer than 5 seconds. God bless you Brady and I wish you and your animals all the best !

I think many of us share Leon’s sentiments on having roommates.

"I have no idea where Leon came from, we just crossed paths at a grocery store." I love this sentence so much.

I ended up finding this channel and following Leon’s journey after forcing myself to take a day off work, recognising my severe emotional burnout stress and overstimulation. It’s incredibly calming and cathartic watching Leon and your other rescuer animals thrive with the care you take for them, and as other comments point out, respecting the audience’s attention span and not assuming there needs to be hyper manic edits every 5 seconds. Thank you so much.

DUDE! thanks for moving the fish! he hated them! Leon has had a rough life so this mansion aquarium with all the peace and food he could want is well deserved! you’re an amazing human.

If you've ever had experience with any of the Goldfish species, you know that when they are sick/stressed/unhappy, they turn dark grey to charcoal coloured. When they are healthy and happy, they revert back to their vibrant golden orange hues. The same goes for Leon. Since he has been with you, his bright orange and turquoise colours have emerged and he is active. Absolutely no doubt in my mind that he knows he is safe and that he is definitely happy.

Whenever I'm feeling down I'll remember Leon the lobster. He was taken from his home, treated like an object, sold as an entree, and now being hand fed seafood in his own furnished apartment. May we all lead lives like Leon.

Finally, more Leon. I don’t even understand why this is fascinating to me, I’ve never been interested in anything like this. Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it.

I cannot believe I am completely invested in a lobster's well-being and emotional journey. I love how this went from, "I've got this empty tank, I think I'll get a lobster from the grocery store and see what happens," to, "I need a bigger tank for my lobster buddy," and all of us are like, "yeah, you do, how is Leon adjusting?" Thank you for saving him. ❤️

I'm in the middle of a major depressive episode and I'm totally isolated, no real friends or family. Watching the love you have for this lobster gives me hope that things can get better 💕

I really love seeing Leon reversing in his cave. Just like he’s parking in a parking lot.

man, this series just feels like a very wholesome and comfy space to take a break in! thank you so much for keeping us updated on Leon and thank you for showing your cats and telling their stories!

"To the world, you may just be somebody. But to somebody, you are the world." -Dr Suess Brady, you're an awesome guy, and this quote describes you to the tee, Bud. This might seem hard for some to understand, but I am thankful to have my story of addiction. To be noticed and loved by another even as I was scraping by on the bottom rocks changed me forever. People just like you helped me climb out of darkness, and now I know the gift of compassion that is an honor to share. Mercy has such a beautiful strength, no matter the circumstances or the creatures involved. I personally thank you for being exactly who you are. P.s. I find great comfort in the music you share in these videos.

I live in the UK, I am housebound due to health issues but have learnt over time that I can still have a rich life. My grandchildren, books and modern tech are all things that keep me sane. My most satisfying by far is learning something new, your journey with Leon is a part of that, I look forward to learning about him and his life. I love your cats, I have two of my own, you are a natural narrator which increase the enjoyment of your films. I think you are a very kind man too, I hope Leon and you go from strength to strength.

Leon has resonated with so many people, it's actually kind of insane. Also the cats are so cute

I couldn't sleep and suddenly found myself emotionally invested in a lobster. But thank you for showing so much kindness in such a unique way, in a dark time. Faith in humanity, restored.

i hit one year sober yesterday. im a teen, of course, so that may come as a surprise that im also an addict. but with the help of my family and friends, ive been able to heal. its small things, like making a supermarket lobster into a pet, that i find help people the most. so thank you, for sharing your family, and your hobbies, with us. it makes my day

Leon’s story and how you’ve rehabilitated him is so very heartwarming. Giving a lobster physical therapy? That’s touching as all get out.

I actually got a little teary eyed when you started cleaning the patch on his back that he can't reach. Now this is a man who truly cares about animals. God bless you.

I never thought I would be so invested in the life of a captive lobster before. 😂

I’m gonna subscribe to this man’s channel. There isn’t enough true content like this anymore. This is perfect for watching in bed. Great edits, great footage, great voice, and overall a beautiful human being

This was my dream as a kid. Save all the lobsters. This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in years.

It's so apparent that these animals are so much smarter than we think. I hope that Leon's story brings many people a greater understanding that there's more to animals than just their flavour.

What makes me so happy to see is just how colorful Leon has gotten since first leaving the store to now. He's so much reder, gotta love the glow up! ❤️❤️

Dear lobster Dad, I am a grown up foster kid facing amazing odds in my own life. I found the story about Leon to be touching because as a child facing abuse, then as an adult with more of the same, I always wanted to save the store and "red lobster" caged lobsters. IF NOTHING ELSE, I wanted SOMEONE, SOMETHING, to have a chance at living the life they deserve. Somewhere deep down, I was wondering how evil people had to be for allowing them to suffer in crowded conditions before eating them alive; hoping whoever shrugged off the high price, bought it, and ate it finding the meal unsatisfactory - a taste of how the lobsters feel every day. To see Leon get a new lease on life, it made my heart smile- his fate wasn't sealed in the matrix of 'eat or be eaten', it was just beginning a chapter of freedom ❤️ proof that if there's hope for him, then there's hope for me too. Thank you for being a gentle person and caring, while caring for all the other animals. I know Jesus loves you, and I want you to know that you're a hero in my book: God given dominion over animals and the earth doesn't mean the power to 'seek, consume and destroy.' it means stewardship, and sustainability 🙌 and you're doing just that. See ya Leon, thanks again lobster Dad!! You rock ✨

Thank you for rescuing Leon. Bobby is also a tremendous actor.

I’ve never wanted to build my own aquarium room until I met Leon.

I randomly just came across the story of Leon the grocery store lobster. After watching the 1st video I excitedly clicked on all the remaining updates. Now I’m hooked on this story, and can’t wait for the next update. Who knew a lobster story could be so addictive! We love you Leon!

Love your videos. As a gen-Zer, I feel my mind runs a mile a minute all the time from the quick videos that promote a short attention span. It’s a nice change of pace to be watching this series and getting to know you and Leon. I’ve been dealing with deep addiction starting around right before Covid in March 2020-now and it’s been a roller coaster. Seeing you and you’re hobby of taking care of animals reminds me how peaceful life can be when enjoying the little things like interacting with your pets and getting to know their quirks. I always have quick “obsession” interests that last about 2-3 months then I’m on to the next. The thing about being interested in these animals is that they grow along side of you, and last a lot longer than that aha. Idk, something about getting to know them just seems so fascinating. I’ve had a dog before when I was a kid, and now as a young adult and seeing your series, you gave me a new perspective how to appreciate your animals. It seems so minute and simple but just how you communicate your interests really grabbed me. I hope you continue sharing with us. -Celeste

I have PTSD and am in isolation a lot and these videos really help my anxiety ❤️

This is the most beautiful story. I didn’t expect the philosophical personal anecdotes… wow. We’ve all been Leon at some point in our lives.

I didn't even think that a random lobster would be my new self care inspiration. I love your videos and how you care about your pets! Keep up

Leon is so fortunate to be in a warm loving home. As well as the kitty's. They are so lucky to be adopted into a loving home. Your videos are very entertaining to watch.

It makes me so happy to see Leon. I’m autistic and I crave love and connection like everyone but it’s hard when you don’t understand how other people work. Seeing this funky little lobster be loved and heal is magical. Animals are pure in a sense that they don’t manipulate, don’t lie, and they are easy to understand if you know what to look for. Thank you for allowing him to heal and live his life as he should. ❤️

I'm 72, Never had an animal that wasn't a rescue, have shared my life and home with many, loved them all. Thank you for rescuing Leon.

This had made a really hard day so much better- thank you Leon and Brady!

I didn't know I needed to see a wholesome man have a karate scene with his cat, but I'm glad I did

Never thought I'd be so interested in a lobster's life. I'm so happy he has a great home. The world needs more people like you, and more lobsters like Leon!

I love that Leon has a cave now. I don’t think he understands that he’s safe in the tank but I think he feels less stressed with his hideout. It’s like caring for a small child. They don’t understand all the effort you put into to making them safe and happy. But you know and that’s the reward. 🥰

I am pregnant and I started crying watching these little series about Leon The Lobster 🥺🖤 I also started crying when you gently scrubbed off the coral off of his back to me it just shows how much you care about the lobster

Well, we know we’re a bit late, but when you mentioned the bit about trauma we decided to comment this. A couple months ago we were diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, the basic rundown being that is a disorder in which multiple distinct personalities exist within one body, used as a “protective method” from prolonged childhood abuse and trauma. Lately we (the system) have been getting to know each other better, learned how to talk to each other better, and learned the differences between being a system and a singlet (for example when people say “I’m talking to myself” we would think they mean literally talking to themself, whereas we have literal conversations, though most are internal). They’re not just voices in our head, but they aren’t family either, nor are they an extension of anyone. We just have to get along. Honestly, DID is absolutely hell, that’s coming from all of us. It isn’t much better with lots of people thinking that we’re crazy bloodthirsty monsters for whatever reason, we’re just trapped in some body we don’t recognize because we refused to die those years ago. Whatever traumatized us, I’m not sure (Ginseng-Host speaking) but I have a feeling that sadly if was our physical (real world and not dissociative) parents. That all actually felt kinda good to say, thanks for that. Wasn’t expecting that when we decided to binge some vids on a lobster

Leon seems so much more energetic and engaged compared to when you first adopted him! You’re a hero for saving Leon and giving him a great life!

Looking at Leon, I can't get over how many specialized legs lobsters have: 8 just for walking, a another pair to feed themselves and then the giant claws for defense and then they have all those antennae, all and the fin at the back for swimming. They are really quite amazing!

You are such a kind human, so honoring of all creatures, great and small. Thank you so much for loving Leon and your kitties and even the Killifish. I bet Leon is a happy Being. I "met" at lobster in a tank at Red Lobster one day, years ago and have never eaten Lobster since. So many beautiful animals with which to share the planet.....Thank you, Brady.

Thank you for encouraging us to share! I love Leon, by the way, and I love that you gave him a second chance since he could've easily ended up on someone's plate. Back in 2020 my husband and I lost our almost 15-year-old long-haired dachshund. Of all the animals we've had, he was the one who was with us the longest. He died from congestive heart failure, and we were devastated! I couldn't stop crying, and I was doing so several times a day. Sometimes you think you're prepared for these things, but you're not. My husband immediately got online and found a no-kill shelter. He looked through all of the cats (since he knew I really wanted one) and found a little three-legged, three year old cat who had been a stray, had a litter (a boy and a girl who'd been adopted together), and found herself with a foster. She only had one appointment for a meet and greet that had been cancelled. Nobody seemed to want an amputee cat. The poor thing had a car run over one of her back legs and has chronic joint problems now. Well, we decided she was perfect, and during our meet and greet she was so sweet and let us hold her like a newborn baby! We've had her for three years now! She's living her best life, and has brought us so much joy! She's definitely in charge of things, but we love her! Only the best for our baby! ❤️

I'm a marine biologist and have been following Leon's story with interest. I've kept lobsters over the years, and I don't think there’s any advice I can give you that you haven't already figured out for yourself. I would have suggested that you add a cleaner wrasse to help Leon clean his hard to reach area but he seemed so freaked out by the killies that it may not work for you. Keep up the good work!

Damn kilifish are savage stressing our boy leon out he will find the right friend

That brushing off, of the back, actually gave ME a lot of relief.

Hi Brady! I'm 22, just out of college, and am attempting to be an illustrator which is not easy. I honestly have trouble keeping up with Life right now from all the lack of money, changes, and various mental health issues, and as a result I don't really have many hobbies and such. Videos like yours really make me happy to see people who can invest in their passions and really make strong emotional connections with them since it's something I struggle to do with my own life. It's cool to see you getting some success from these as well. Leon's so pretty and cool, thank you for sharing your story with me!

I'm so glad you noticed Leon wasn't too happy with the killifish in his tank, and that you moved them out for him. I'm sure he appreciates that, and the lovely life you've given to him. I wish everyone had your care and sensitivity for all animals.

I love this lobster so much. Thank you for sharing Leon’s story with us. Also three years sober as of two days ago!

I’ve been recovering from COVID and these videos have helped me to forget what I am going through even for a little while. There’s a healing inside to see even a lobster like Leon have a new and longer life by a man who cared to change his fate! Don’t worry about ridiculous comments Brady just take in the positive ones!!

I was having a panic attack from gastrointestinal issues and I just stumble upon the video of Leon the lobster. It was so calming to watch Leon getting rescued from the grocery store and slowly healing up and getting stronger. I've been watching the videos for past 1 hour and I now feel much better. Also, now I'm invested on Leon's livelihood

Not me tearing up watching this…I love how you’ve turned Leon’s story into a radically different one just by giving him a second chance. Isolation really has hit everyone pretty hard, but watching you tell Leon’s story and being so attentive to even the small things makes my life seem a little less overwhelming. Thank you 😊

There is something about Leon and his owner that makes me calm and tranquil and honestly, I need it everyday

Thank you for sharing Leon and the cats story, I've been going thru depression and going thru a change of life menopause, I enjoy watching Leon story, God you bless you and your family.

It's always such a surreal feeling seeing the one place you met your beloved pet from and always thinking about what would've become of them had you been just a few seconds, minutes maybe hours too late. The empty tank where Leon was rescued from really makes you think, "Had I not been there he probably would've been enjoyed in the belly of another person."

It made me so weirdly happy to see you clean that patch on Leon's back that he can't reach. So lovely.

It's not just Leon... though it's fun to watch him.... your patience, homespun humor, and your compassion are also a big draw. Thanks!

I'm in too deep to give up on the Leon lore now. I didn't think I'd end up this obsessed but here I am

I feel a lot like Leon. At 45, I was hit with Autoimmune diseases, then a broken back 3 years later. I have been in “lockdown“ since 2012. It’s been difficult to keep going, but like you said “everyone has their story”. Many of them are like mine, unfortunately. I do enjoy watching videos like this to help pass the long days.

Seeing Leon's face on my feed is like finding an old friend in the grocery store. Not expecting it, but so glad to see them. Thanks for this series.

OMG... If anybody would have told me a year ago that I would be emotionally invested in a lobster, I would've told them they're insane, but here I am... Always checking in whenever you post a Leon update! lol How can I not love your videos, Brady?? A handsome lobster AND 3 adorable kitties?? Yeah... I'm here for the duration! Thank you for being the kind, caring person you are. The world would be a better place with more folks like you around. 😊🦞😸😸😸

I shared Leon with my whole family and have been thinking about him all day. He captured my heart.

Its so true that we all have our own stories. We all walk our own path. Getting to join you a little on your path with Leon has been a blessing. I'm a long term isolationist, always prefered it that way, I make do, but the internet and all its wonders have kept me company. Channels like this, especially, have been very important to me, and I hope you and Leon both have long happy lives

I'm so emotionally invested in this lobster. I don't know how s/he's done it but Leon has captured my heart.

I never thought I‘ld be so happy seeing a lobster carrying his ‚dishes‘ to the other side of the tank. Thank you for your relaxing, Informative heartwarming and occasionally even philosophical videos.

I know this is an older video at this point however, you can see such a spectacular color difference between Leon when he first arrived to your home from the grocery store and the present Leon. He is in such better health, happy and vibrant, in his new home

Thanks for sharing Leon’s story. So fascinating and I love your narration. So calm.

Leon seems perfectly happy hanging out by himself especially given where he's come from. And strangely enough I can relate. Thank you for sharing yours and Leon's story!

This is just been such a wholesome experience for everybody. I think it's great to see so many people coming together and sharing stories and things all over a good deed such as rescuing Leon. Great work! What a win to see everyone come together on the internet for a change

I’m a nursing student! I work as a server at a restaurant (they don’t serve lobsters!) I have a bunny I got off of craigslist 8 years ago. Ever since getting a rabbit, a lot of things have changed for me. I realized how smarty they actually are. They can be potty trained easily! She follows me around all the time. She loves sunbathing on couch cushions, eating carrot tops and other veggies, and begging me to pet her. She has so much love in her eyes and even trusts me enough to flip over. With all this information I learned more about the world and how items from cosmetics, to dish soaps get tested on animals (like rabbits, mice) to see if they are safe for humans to use. I watched multiple videos on it and decided to only buy cruelty free products for vanity, and for stuff. Even my laundry detergent is cruelty free! I love animals, I can tell that you love animals too. Leon’s story has seriously inspired me, I need fight like he has now that you’ve given him hope to finish my last semester of school! Thanks for sharing these videos, they mean alot!

The cat Bobby doing her B-rated karate movie impersonation was hilarious

The amount of joy I got seeing Leon in my recommended again is absurd. I love that lobster. I also very much love all of the cat stories. I am very much invested in all of your pets. I also think you’re doing a great job! And I love the action scene with Bobby.

You have a knack for story-telling, Brady. And I love how you relate the lives of your pets to the lives of us, humans; I was really moved. Thank you, Brady and Leon, for bringing so much joy to my life and for the self-reflection that I found myself. My heart swelled.

I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to rescue those poor grocery store lobsters!! You're my hero & you obviously have a beautiful heart.... keep doing what you do & make this world a better place 😉

I’ve only discovered your videos today but am already binging them. Leon stole my heart. Your voice and storytelling are soothing.

Brady, you should be very proud of this video series. You have managed to captivate millions of people's interest, and our hearts. Who would have thought that the story of the rescue of a supermarket lobster could make all of us feel like we are part of Leon's journey. Thank you for allowing us to be part of that journey. I am looking forward to the next chapter in the tale of Leon.

I have no idea how or why I started watching Leon’s journey, except that I always, always feel sorry for them in the tanks waiting to be food. I also don’t know why this video made me tear up. I guess just people being nice to one another & enjoying the simplicity of watching a lobsters life unfold while sharing kind words, it’s just so...refreshing & heartwarming. Thanks for saving Leon & sharing him with the world. ❤️

I am obsessed with leon and this man is a life saver

From the first video to this one Leon's color has come out nicely. He looks like a avatar version of himself, nice and red.

I randomly saw your video when I was watching some documentaries and I said, "I'll see what this about". You had just put out the first video. Ever since then I see a new video about Leon, I know I have to watch it. Kudos on you for scrubbing him up and it was nice to get to know your cats. These videos are a little ray of sunshine in my day. I just got done going through a sudden divorce... Don't feel bad for me, I got my breaking point and left her... but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. Little things like this give me a smile these days, you've greatly improved my quality of life. For that, I thank you.

This has to be the most wholesome video series ever. Seeing a new vid brings a smile to my face every time. Long Live Leon!

I know it seems like you spent a lot of money on a store lobster, but man oh man, he is a happy lobster! I never thought I would learn to like and care about the well being of a lobster. Thank you for doing this for Leon

I absolutely LOVE Leon!!!! I had no idea how awesome Lobsters are. Thank you so much for rescuing him and taking care of him, and making these videos, sharing with us his life. I LOVE LEON!!!!!!!

It’s interesting and timely to see so many people so invested in Leon’s story. The UK and EU legislation is actively changing right now regarding protection for animals like lobsters, crabs, and octopuses. I think Leon’s story is a great way to show how individual and sentient these animals are, including their likes and dislikes, feelings about their environment, visual difference in attitude when they’re taken care of and healthy, etc. I hope that the US proposes new laws of protection for these beautiful individuals soon as well!

I love seeing how Leon is doing, and meeting your cats was an extra bonus! Im in the UK, I have four dogs, three fish tanks and 3 dart frog vivariums. I'd love to see if Leon can solve simple puzzles, like getting food out of a box, learning to open a lid etc. I think it would be good to see just how smart these guys are!

I love how Leon has prospered under your care and never thought that I’d be this invested to a Lobster. Also loving the three rescued cattos. I have a ginger cat with a burnt leg with me since the start of the covid lockdowns here and has helped keep me alive during the worst of the isolation days.

Leon is just an introvert, he doesn't want tank mates and likes to be alone just minding his own business.

I’m really happy to hear that you moved the fish for Leon. He seems a lot happier now in the new aquarium with them gone

Brady, you are encouraging us all to be more kind, generous, caring and curious by sharing your journey with Leon. Thank you! The cats are great, too.

So happy to see "Leon" after missing him...he has grown to a Goliath size...he is so luvable...thank you, for your wonderful care of him, he is a sensitive creation... 🦞😘🦞😘🦞😘🦞😘🦞

I find it odd that I enjoy the Journey of Leon this much, who Knew !! can't wait for the next installment with Leon, Thumbs up!

When I first ran into that first video of Leon I was like "Why on Earth would this guy do this" but after watching all of these videos my wife and I have become enamored with Leon and have subscribed to keep up with him (or her) antics. We usually have Lobster on Christmas, now we'll forever feel guilt about it.

Meeting your cats was the best thing ever, thank you so much

Good heavens! Leon is looking downright perky! Thank you sir, for making him a happy pet.

The consistent, thoughtful care you give Leon is so wonderful to see. You are doing such an amazing job. Thank you for sharing such a kind story with us

Love him - he is so sensitive and alert to his surroundings - he must have been in a living hell in that grocery store tank with his nippers strapped shut .
