Max, maybe you can do a few videos on being a big brother to each of the younger boys, maybe teaching each one something new or doing a fun activity individually with each one.

This has been my favorite podcast you guys have done…so far! I have often wondered about the dynamics of family working with/for you. I’m glad it is working so well.

Love how Max is doing . He was so shy an quite . Great job Max ! Love watching all of you ! Amazing family

So glad the podcast is back. Love your family! Keep the positivity coming.

I'm so glad you're back doing podcasts. I watch all of your channels and especially love how far Max has come.

Hello Crystal,Max,Mark and Uncle Joe, Enjoyed the podcast and glad they will be up and running again. Missed them!!! A lot of good points brought out and yes Crystal I agree with you, why can’t we all just get along and it’s okay to be kind to one another. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤

This is so great,thank you! What a super team of Crazy Pieces! All of you set such good examples for others. The love of fun & each other draws me to your videos. They're way better than TV. Thanks for all you do🎉❤

Suggestion for Max: maybe do 2 videos in one week before you go on a trip so you can release one that is premade during your trip and then the trip video can come out the following week. Regarding reading the comments: just keep in mind if you have 10 bad comments and 90 positive ones, you scored 90% and that’s still an A!

Honestly, as soon as Mark came to work for you everything changed for the better. Between him and the boyfriend I feel like it is now a show you would watch on network tv!

Welcome back love the new room and love seeing family around you like how mark watch out for his sister

So excited 😆 the podcast is back. Can’t get enough of all my favourite crazy posts

We can tell you love to film and do youtube ❤ I can only imagine the craziness of all the editing and stuff that goes with it! Just remember its always okay to take a break

So happy your podcast is back. Great video.

Put a Mark joke time in your podcast! Like, when you talk about something really heavy afterwards have Mark come and say a few jokes! Y’all let this man live out his comedic dreams😂 #moremark

Nice to have the podcast back!! Been a minute, don’t know how you can keep it all straight!! Admire all the stuff you do and the effort you all put in….bravo!! 😊

There is a great book called The Four Agreements and one of the agreements is don’t take anything personally. It was a game changer reading that book. He explains so well how what other people have do or say against you, oddly enough really have nothing to do with you. It took a while to get it but it so makes a difference in my life. Anyway it’s a great read!! Thanks for opening up and being real. Max you got this..a few ideas, do they have car shows near you? Might be fun to film one. Good luck!

When people attack , I say it’s because they are not happy with them selfs ! Ignore them ! You guys are amazing . There are days that I feel down , you guys make me smile .

Keep doing what you’re doing. I say that because I had just started the adoption process when I came across your vlogs and to be honest I may have given up on the process if it hadn’t been for the encouragement I felt from watching your family. Now I have 2 wonderful teenager, not going to say it’s always easy but definitely worth it. Love to you all.

All of you add so much joy to my life !!!

You guys are Awesome! I can only imagine how much comes with sharing your lives with us, the UFO’s of the internet. I admire your tenacity and your strength to push through the negativity to present positive content. Now, let me be honest, I NEVER thought I’d be following a reality channel. It’s not really my jam. However since I started watching your channels, I’ve come to think of you as family. Which is really weird! Haha after all you don’t know me at all! And I’m pretty amazing hehe 😉 Anyway, I guess what I’m saying is you’re making a difference in more ways than one. Please keep doing you cuz that’s pretty perfect! God bless you all!

Absolutely so super happy to have the podcast back ❤ but please ya'll are so busy dont spread yourselves to thin fam 😊

Thank you Max for getting the podcast up and running again.

Thanks for touching on that subject... Bryson is an amazing editor 🙌 like super good! Mark is so amazing 👏 too! They make a great team. I'm sad for my Hallie,. But, if she's truly okay with this, then good for her! She's so strong 💪 😭 ❤ I want her to smile everyday, and I know of course you as her mom and Aaron being her Dad and you guys are so loving, and caring and there is nothing that your children wouldn't share with you because you are all so close! You are all a real team and I love that! ❤️ it's so beautiful to watch. Love you all!❤ you guys bring a whole new meaning to the word Family!

Joe , very good points about friendship and work , max you are awesome, love crazy pieces in general 😍

I think in a perfect world we shouldn’t need to be deleting comments because they just shouldn’t have been left in the first place but with that said we need to teach our children resilience and sometimes that means gentle exposure to negativity whilst we shouldn’t have to do this I feel it’s necessary to equip them for all situations in life! I absolutely love the podcast channel and I am sooo glad that you have started again can’t wait to see all the episodes ❤xxxx

Max, here's a few ideas for Vlogmas: going to see Santa, motorcycle trip to a cute AZ town that is decorated, decorate your room, present shopping, decorate the motorcycle, take the kids shopping for your parents, tasting holiday snacks from grocery store, making an ugly Christmas sweater. Have fun!!

Crystal.... the new room is gorgeous. Everything about it 😍 brings me joy 😊

Yall do a great job!!! I love all of yall.

Welcome back, Piece Us Podcast! Keeping up with you on Crazy Pieces. ❤

I agree with you, Crystal. About trusting your children's new person. We're open minded and inviting to whomever or children date. Trust is key. And if things don't work out that's okay. There is a reason why this person came into my child's life, our life.

Loved that podcast ,well done everyone xx ❤

I watch Max videos and I enjoy his content. I find Max humor exceptional

Welcome back! Great podcast!

Crystal, I feel the same , exact way! I really wish the world was more welcoming 🙏 for people , meaning kids too. Who have been through so much at such a young age already as well as someone older who has also been through the ringer! My mission is to help make this world a better place. And if u can't touch the world then maybe I can touch at least 3 peoples lives in one day in Florida, that makes me the most happy is bringing joy to someone else who needs that joy. There are so many people in this world who are really going through it and I really wish we had more resources here. It can become sad at times. But like I said my mission is to at least make 3 people smile a day, sometimes more heehee. I ❤it!

Absolutely love this podcast! Never let the haters comments get to you. You're all amazing ❤❤❤

I can understand in some situations the negativity goes around quicker because it might help people talk about it and it might help them feel better, but I just don’t understand why every tiny negative situation in the world seems to progress quicker than the positivity I don’t think I will ever understand. I love your guises way of thinking about working with family and how you guys do things and I think that hopefully one day people will stand together instead of a part, and we will be better as a whole community in the world than be so apart.

Thank you so much I loved this episode so much and I got a lot out of it ❤❤❤❤

I love watching the videos of each of the family members have. Alex, max, Halie. Etc.. there is a difference between each person’s personality and demeanor but the undercurrent is love and respect and kindness and it because they have 2 great parents and bunch of other family who care for one another

Bryson just so you know ,im glad your gonna stick around an im happy your around 😊

You are all very kind people

Max its called growth, as you get more experience - you have certainly grown. And clearly have great work ethic. Well done. Crystal you have done an amazing job. To all - you cannot please everyone. I sometimes think some people look to try make people upset. As Crystal says people need to be nice. Sad how we get stuck on the negative. So here's to being nice to all. 🇿🇦🇿🇦 Kudos to you Mark amazing brother.

Love watching ye all.. @Max , I have an crazy idea that will help with filming for Vlogmas.. Idea would be spending so time with my siblings... Could show a different side of you.. You are an amazing young man , you can see in all the crazy channels the way Crystal and Aaron are so proud about everyone of ye.. Ye are so special and supportive to ye're parents.. @ Joe , keep being you .. your the fununcle every young man / women would love to have and so kind to open your heart ❤️ to support Crystal & Aaron. @ Mark , at first , I could not get you.. thought there was something not right.. but now with you being on more videos, you expressing your personality completely and changed my opinion very fast.. Hung Congratulations on being married to your wonderful wife... BTW love your cheeky smile... All I can say to Crystal and Aaron... Keep being yourselves... both are ye are incredible and I would be proud if I was able to adopt to be just like ye.. Keep being Crazy... Lots of Love from Ireland..

You guys are so awesome and have a very big heart ❤

I’m also glad that Mark was able to join the podcast I hope that he comes on again and I can’t wait to catch up on the one that I missed

I love Joe's take on the comments❤ it's always best to concentrate on the positive

I enjoyed watching this podcast. Max, I see such growth in you. Putting excitement in your voice doesn't make you sound fake. You're like an actor on a stage and you want to grab your viewer so they will watch all your content. Some ideas for vlogmas are shopping for Christmas decorations to decorate your room. I know you live to take pictures. Why not go around and take pictures of Christmas lights. We have festival of lights. If you have one, msybe you could take you younger siblings. Maybe you and your cousin can do something fun together. Too bad you don't get snow because building a snowman is a lot of fun.

I love watching your podcast. You are TRULY an inspiration to me. I would love to see Shelley and Jared on your podcast to talk about how you aĺl started adopting. Who was the first couple to adopt that inspired the other to do the same? I love watching all of families. I'm a huge fan.

Great podcast! Went by too quickly! Enjoy all of you. 💞💞

@Max, an idea for vlogmess is maybe you can do a vlog on trying different holiday drinks and food from the restaurants around your area.

Hey guys always watching

Love your family and also the crazy middles and Joe you are awesome 😊

Max, I actually love real people! Much better than when people attempt to be slurpy sweet and fake on their videos. Keep being you!

I absolutely love your dynamic an how you love everyone ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Hello I'm enjoying watching this its so calm and peaceful😀

Mark is a shy, funny, sweetheart 😌

Welcome back.

I love ur podcast and I have been watching since max was little and in fact I have been watching since your first video

I love you for doing that Mark! ❤️ if I could delete the bad/negative comments I would too, in a heartbeat 💓

I have soo missed this ❤

I love watching your videos and watching the podcast. I especially like when Crystal asks Mark to edit something and Mark cheekily ignores the request, sometimes adding a comment, making that vlog amusing

I have a couple ideas for Max to vlog about for Vlogmas. Max, you could take Maddie to see Santa (our local Tractor Supply has this event), Take Maddie to visit a nursing home (to bring Christmas cheer), Decorate your siblings room for Christmas (or maybe "Grinch" their room lol), Bake Christmas cookies by yourself (maybe a "nailed it" moment . . . or not), and your favorite foods available only during Vlogmas (or the Christmas holiday). 😊 Oh, and about those pesky people who talk about personality. You have grown SO much in the last 4 years (that I have been watching) and seem to really be an amazing young man. They obviously aren't regular viewers so don't let them get to you too much. Also, know that sometimes people comment without even watching a video. So crazy!

would love a video, maybe on the main channel on how everyone fits as an employee

Think its great family can work together and help each other

I have been so impressed by your family, kindness, love and understanding. I grew up with a mother who was horribly abusive towards me, not my siblings. To this day at 72 I still have no self confidence or esteem. I admire and respect you.

I’d love to pick your brains on navigating positive mental health and social media usage. Or the good and bad sides. It would be cool to be a guest!!! Too bad I’m in Texas!! Love your content and genuine attitude’s.

we love the engery you guys have :)

my family is 10 kids n 16 grandkids n 24 great grandkids - we get along for the most part n are close n some have/do work together n there are conflicts like every family

Joe, frim an outsider looking in, you really seem like a well rounded all around great person.

I feel y'all on this I get call ugly all the time 😢 but i try not to let get to me but I believe it at some point but i love watching yall

yayyy we missed the podcast

Loving the podcast. Please make audio a bit louder!

Max should do a video a day during vlogmes spending time with each of his siblings doing what they to do to spend quality time with them

ATTN MAX #4: The gift of service, stand on a busy corner with a cardboard sign that has a positive message for people. Then vlog the results of how it made you feel, the impact you saw it had on others, maybe how many waves , honks or smiles. Example for sign: You ARE Amazing, Have an Incredible Day!😊

Could you do a podcast on the challenges one haveing kids with delays. And what have help you guys get those the hardest times. There is so much beauty in these children and adults. That we all can take from these people but a lot of people look down one them as bad kids or parents don't know how to parent . I have a child with delays so hard to now what to say to people and teaching in a way he understands.

Ps i am giggling you all swiveling a little in the chairs. 😊 such cool chairs.

Max you could do a vlog a day with each sibling/ family member! If you include aunt Bonnie and Grandma, you could fill up the month almost lol

ATTN MAX #6: Vlog about the different types of tires and maybe interview someone at a tire shop. Are retreads safe? What happens when a motorbike tire blows?

ATTN MAX #2: pick up a new hobby for a vlog. There are klutz activity books that might have some options for you like paper airplanes and then have a flight race with your siblings which could piggyback on mentoring your siblings. 😊

I have seen nasty comments and really had to bite my tongue. I usually try to say something like that’s not the kind of comment to leave or something to that effect. Or I try to ignore it. But sometimes my momma bear takes over. I remember once I spelled one of the kids names wrong. OMGOSH I was attacked by someone. That’s not how spell it she gets really angry when people misspell her name blah blah. For a couple of videos she was doing this to several of us. I haven’t seen them on here in awhile. I felt so bad I tracked down how to spell it and changed it. Another time I just deleted it. Mark you do a wonderful job at editing 💞

I glad you up again. OK I hope I get an answer to this. So, Joe is now working for you? I though he had a job on his own with a company. or am I wrong. I know they have a channel together.

I feel like mark and max are so smart ❤

Take care guys- stay safe and stay well. :D

I am an only child and have an only child, I think I should have been born into a big family as I love being with everyone, we were all together for my aunt's birthday in Ireland this summer, there was probably about 15 or more of us all together and I had such a great time. I think it's the fact of being an only and loving being with others

Joe has such a great "radio voice" in these podcasts!

Podcast topics: Dealing/working with difficult birth parents. (Adopted or Foster Care) How you cope with missing out on big events from baby/childhood in your older adopted kid’s lives. Your thoughts on the KZfaq Families that give you the ick, and why.

ATTN MAX: An idea for a video is to try a bunch of the food flavored soda pop. For instance invite a friend to dinner and it will be a liquid dinner. Google food flavored soda pop. 😊

How is Arianna liking college? New spot looks good! Liked the podcast

I like 😍 your new office. 📃

Did Bryson and Hallie break up 😢 If I wasn't 55 and I lived over there I would love to have had a date with Joe, his personality is amazing his humour he will be an amazing man I hope he meets his significant other and has kids one day, I found this Podcast amazing, it really helped to understand the dynamics of everything you guys do , Love you guys HERVEY BAY QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA

Max for vlogmas you should do the adventures of elf on the shelf. Maybe create a quest or a game that takes him through the 25days to Xmas. It’s one theme and easy to do

It made my eyes watery when Mark said Thad sometimes he erase bad comments to protect Chrystal. I have a very good relationship with my brother and I think this is something that my brother would do as well.

I have a few ideas for Max, 1. You and sister date . 2. Taking Maddy on a hike, 3. You and Landon going to an arcade and play a challenge. 4. Trying food and drinks from different restaurants. I have lots of suggestions Max

It is absolutely ridiculous that we live in a time where people think it is acceptable to get behind a screen and say rude (or just inappropriate to the conversation) things. Like you wouldn't say this to their face... so sit down and be nice!

Love you all ❤

ATTN MAX #5: Collect a postcard from every state. Vlog the progress.

Max , maybe for your personal first vlogmas do every other day not every day just for the first year to get a better feel for it and not get overwhelmed

Crystal, you can’t please everyone. So set yourself free hun! ❤

Max should do my subscribers pick my daily vlogmas videos!!!! I think that's a very cool concept!!! That eliminates his struggle a lil bit!!!

I'm not sure if you would be willing to address this on your podcast but I would be grateful for your advice on how to address the war occurring in Israel as well as the anti-Semitism occurring around the world. I have a 15 year old son and a 24 hear old son, my oldest son has a Jewish fath. I'm terrified for my son, his Dad and the future. Do you talk to your kids about this?

What an awesome podcast! Marks sense of humor is so funny! 8:07 in the video had me dying 🤣🤣
