SAYiNG GOODBYE !

[@ohjustme]

what the van reminds me of is your humbling beginnings. from taking toilet paper from taco bell because you couldn't afford it, to taking your family to los angeles... you started with very little, you lived within your means, you worked your butt off and you have an amazing story to show for it. and your story continues even now. bye van!

[@SHAYTARDS]

😍

[@OxChann]

You know Shay & Colette cried so much while watching this. Been here 13 years & it was so nice to have the flash backs and see how much the children have changed 😊

[@ShastaHawk]

I wonder how long it took to edit this video. I bet they spent more time crying than the actual editing.

[@evildwagon7118]

When Malachi popped his head up from the trunk my tears started to fall. How much I miss him. It's so amazing to see all the old footage and relive the past ♥️

[@billholt2198]

The ice cream video is beyond cute. Seeing those little kids is a nostalgic trip for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@RhondaRTEM]

Oh!!! Right at the beginning, little Gavin!!! It’s ok to be sentimental over a car. I patted our truck goodbye as my husband drove out of the driveway to its new owner. We had it 10 years and it was so good to us. Kind of felt like I was letting a good ol’ loyal friend go. Still get a little teary eyed.

[@mandystanhope]

This was so much fun to watch. All the throwbacks are amazing. Brock’s “bow and arrow” video is always going to be one of the best and funniest lol 😂 🤣Thanks for taking us back ❤️

[@bostongal4ever]

My favorite part is gavin saying “what’s so funny?!”

[@wozkiemprzezkraj7729]

That was the first video of them, I saw. And I stayed here till today ;)

[@mellafella7850]

The funniest thing I’ve ever seen

[@sensei_k2579]

That was my very fav memory of the van

[@E_Miley97]

That was the first video I thought of as well!!!!!

[@SageOfReality]

You guys filled my life at a young age with positivity and hope during times that felt hopeless, that feeling of family and love always shined through with these blessings of videos!! Much love to THE Van!! 😥❤

[@agentfifteen]

this.

[@GGRain]

I have to say Shay, watching Gavin for this long and seeing/listening to that high five at the end made me miss my father so much and the handshake we do every time we see each other. Its going to be a sad day when he leaves and I'm so excited to see what he does, what an amazing man he has become.

[@DylanisHere04]

Love seeing the flashback at the beginning! Shows how far your entire family has come! Very happy for all of you and congratulations on all your success! From a lifelong fan up in Canada!😁

[@thelifeofhebah5358]

Can’t forget about your first marathon video! You recited a quote from Tony Robbins that’s stayed with me all these years. “Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change”

[@mohamedbinrahidkhankhaledb4066]

Ok indian girl

[@jamnin94]

Igonore the racist who replied to u please. sry about him. I great quote I will always remember from Shay was; "I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!" it's a great way to start to motivate urself to improve.

[@THEREALBARBIE89]

Yes and another quote that has stayed with me forever that i once heard him say "whether you think you CAN or you CANT. You are RIGHT"

[@giaharriet]

Watching this has made me realise how much time has passed I was only young when I first started watching you guys and now I’ve just finished my first year of university! the lessons I’ve learnt from you guys are incredible thank you for still uploading videos us viewers absolutely love them ❤️

[@Nicodemuss1995]

The nostalgia is unreal takes me back to being a teenager and watching your videos daily many fond memories!

[@bostonhockeyco]

That is one iconic van, man, it really has been a part of some iconic moments on this channel. Also, that gusher trick above the house was pretty cool!

[@GoodCharless]

Hey! I'm from Turkey and I've been watching Shaytards for as long as I remember.. maybe since 2011 or 2012. I am now a 28 year old man and you guys have inspired me beyond anything else to aspire a life with a nice loving family. Thank you so much for all these years and I really hope you guys will continue as much as you can ♥

[@creativearmy4682]

When Brock was a baby and in his little car seat, when Shay said "Look, this is my hand". It reminded me of the Disneyland vlog after when Daxton was born, in his pumpkin pajamas, he did the exact same thing "This is my hand, duh, hey welcome to the world, this is my hand!". Got to be one of my favorite moments ever. Besides the "bow and arrow" one😂

[@harrydhatt9242]

I feel Shay on his Van memories and just sitting there taking it all in. It’s a powerful feeling 🙏🏽

[@doorht]

My favorite memory of the van is when you paid it off. I kinda remember you got a bonus from work or something and you were asking the audience what you should do with the money and one of the options was to pay off the van. And in the next vid you said thats what you were gonna do the whole time regardless of what we said. You mentioned that in the Bible it says that the debtor is slave to the lender and I have always remembered that and I have avoided debt like the plague. So thanks for that lol

[@SHAYTARDS]

Amen! Getting out of debt is one of the best things we’ve done!

[@doorht]

@@SHAYTARDS You were also my biggest inspiration for losing over 100lbs. You have had a large impact on my life to say the least 😅

[@cambam5444]

Grew up watching you guys now 17 and still here I love you guys and thank you for letting me enjoy your guys life with you

[@keira_nd]

too many memories in that van. it’s crazy to think i’ve practically grown up with you guys. all the love ❤️

[@MyDuncanandMe]

Omgosh all the feelings!!! I love you guys!!! Gavin has always been such a soft hearted sweet kid!!! I pray he stays that way always!!!

[@lauragamble7707]

Been watching you guys for years & I absolutely adore the content you share. Thank you for continuing to upload. Hope you are all well x

[@noellebatista3896]

My favorite memory is from way back when you guys just moved to LA and I think the alarm of the car went off or something and you showed Gavin how to turn it off and he said “thank you for teaching me to be like you, dad!” So cute! 12+ years later and I still remember him saying that.

[@BennettMarks]

I still drive my old family car. It's an old 1998 BMW the same age I am . Still runs has 234,000 miles on it. I Take back and forth to rehearsals. Has been to many many shows. I drove it From Los Angeles all way up to San Francisco . Great Car!

[@alexandriacampbell9997]

Shay, I've been watching the Shaytards since I was 7-8 years old and now I'm about to be 18 years old! So I practically grew up watching you guys! Much love!

[@fashion11040]

this just makes me feel so old, but also so nostalgic! I remeber watching the videos daily and being so excited to come home from school to watch them ❤️

[@CathyMiller0711]

This was SO fun! LOVED all the old clips. Great memories. I started watching when y'all returned to ID to have Brock. At that point you had 700 videos and I spent months watching the daily and also several old ones to catch up. And now the kids are so grown up. The "bow and arrow" clip is iconic!

[@hayleebrown2095]

I have watched you guys for years and seeing you say goodbye to the van is sad! Best wishes for the future ❤️

[@anklebreaka03]

I wish I could see Shay one day and tell him how much I love him and his family in person...dude's really changed my life and how I even view being a father.

[@matatana40]

I feel shay on his Van memories and just sitting there taking it all in . It’s a powerful thing 🙏🙏🙏

[@iyascameraroll]

I’ve been watching your family for so long I can honestly say that I feel like I’m apart of it you guys have gotten me through so many tough times I’m the same age as Gavin and have been watching since you guys lived in California so maybe 2012/13 or longer. Thanks for all the great memories 🫶🏾

[@AwesomeVidzChannel]

That Van always had the "best spot in the lot".

[@barneycooperx]

I was in highschool when i start watching you guys. I used to watch your videos whenever i was sad or mad. It was the only thing that made me calm. Now i am married, you guys inspired me to have my own family. Love you guys and thank you for all the content you put in this platform. It sure did help me over the years

[@amandacrawford974]

Wow! The Nostalgia came flooding back like a frieght train!😭😭😭❤❤❤💯😩😩😩 how little they all were! I cant! That car looked to be in somewhat Good shape for the shape its in!💯 sounded like it still runs like a champ! 15 yrs of memories never forgotten 15 yrs of memories made!💯❤❤❤😩😩😩😭😭😭 shay if you had the money to restore that van you could make that van go from 15 yrs brand new and you'd still be able to fit all 5 of you in that van like good old times!💯🙏❤❤❤

[@LongShen1883]

It's good to be sentimental you have the memories to hang onto forever

[@danielsacco3103]

Brock saying bow and arrow😭😂 gotta love the innocence and pure comedy In that clip😂❤️

[@ayoosmoke]

this video was amazing going down memory lane. gavin killed me when shay noticed the mattress in the back of the van and he said it was a story for another time hahaha

[@DreamXxChaser]

I loved see those throwbacks. Been watching since the early days and I’m 25 now. Y’all have been the family I never had 💜 so sad that so many of those older videos are gone 😭

[@MuskokaLocal]

Bow and Arrow. I laughed and laughed. I remember that vlog. Time stamp 18:32. I love the blindfolded, water cooler and jub video, that's when it all started for me with the "Shaytards". Love you guys.

[@MuskokaLocal]

*jug

[@TimNoel2]

Favorite memory from this van, doing backwards donuts in the snowy parking lot.

[@onyx_96]

i am DYING at the way Brock said bow and arrow 😂😂😂😂😂

[@AdventuresWithAlex]

The memories in that van 🥹

[@teenyton6381]

I'm crying, I remember watching all these old videos when I was 11 12 13!! I grew up watching you guys, you were my everything. Thank you for the flashbacks 😭

[@authorgirlpetparent]

P.S. Through the years, whenever I've been struggling emotionally, I could always count on Rocktard's bow and arrow clip for a hit of serotonin. Grateful.

[@TimNoel2]

Another funny memory from this van, around 2009 or so, you were driving around, you drove up to a giant pile of leaves raked up in a church parking lot, Shay you got out, and jumped in the pile of leaves and rolled all around while Colette filmed from inside the van. It was so random and hilarious!

[@animallove6991]

I think the title of that vlog is “the Mormons are coming!”

[@TimNoel2]

@@animallove6991 yeah I think it is because in the vlog, when they drive in the church parking lot Shay jokingly says "is this one of them Mormon churches?"

[@ScoliQueen]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SHAYTARDS! Literally made my day all the time years before and I'm still trying to catch up with the videos in the last 2 weeks? But anyway yay your back! Again absolutely love your vids and you have been a huge inspiration to me :) have a good day/night :)

[@moniquebourque4453]

This van was my childhood and seeing all of these old memories was emotional but sweet!!💗 To the best van ever!!! Thanks shay for all those memories!!!

[@haleywargo5016]

I just said goodbye to my Honda Civic that I had for 9 1/2 years. I needed a new car but it was sad to let it go. Lots of memories with that car, it had around 173,300 miles too.

[@LilStampBug]

Awe it was so awesome to see the kids so young and Malachi 😍 loved it when you did the Malachai voice... Miss him ..😍😍😍. The flash back gave me all the feels 🥰🥰🥰. I've been with ya guy's from almost the beginning... I was a Mod for Iron Man and stayed up the whole time... Never forget Shay on top of the Fridge 😂😂😂 and I still.habe my RIP Beardtard T-shirt 🥰🥰🥰 love you guy's and so glad you are back and all together 🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰

[@zbusiness88]

Still one of the best in the game.. you really became a boss over the years proud of you Shay 👍

[@joshcordell4082]

we had a 2000 Astro Van and had many memories with that vehicle for almost 19 years. Vehicles are full of memories probably more than most possessions. Going down memory lane had to be fun for you. Bitter Sweet. Oh well. Time for another van, Shay. lol.

[@wrl_882]

The old videos made me cry. Everyone had grown up so much 😭 I can't even begin to imagine how you feel watching those old clips 🥺

[@MattPalka]

That first flashback is my birthday in 2009! My favorite memory is the 20th century fox intro theme singing and the bow and arrow clip. Sadness empowers in its own way and say does joy. We need them both. =)

[@Vajpearl123]

I feel so old and feeling so emotional have been watching this family for so long 😭❤️

[@bentleighward474]

it’s the end of an era for that van it holds so many good memories ❤️

[@agentfifteen]

I can still clearly remember the day Rocktard was born. I was super excited! I used to watch your vlogs every day! Man, I miss the good ol' days. You guys were like the family I never had. It's almost as if I was there with you guys although you don't even know me haha! It's amazing how much technology can change our lives. Anyway, I'd like to thank you for the experience, I appreciate it. Watching you guys definitely made me smile during difficult times; I'm so glad you were there. Wish you all the best! God bless.

[@animallove6991]

I remember when Mommytard gave it a nice pinstripe! So happy the Shaytards are back! 😊

[@SALESPRODUCTIONS]

Stuck in my head is Malachi - in ONE easy JUMP - landing in the back of your truck. THAT's the memory I have. That I miss.

[@ethantylerr91]

This video was so nostalgic, I remember tuning in everyday for my daily Shaytards vlog…. I remember seeing every clip from past vlogs… such good times :) I mean EVERY CLIP…

[@katieamarshh]

Aww the fact that I remember seeing the old clips at the original times too 🥺

[@matatana40]

The ice cream video by beyond cute. Seeing those little kids is a nostalgic trip for sure. Thanks for sharing!

[@Arpinaluv]

I remember all those flashbacks. Man time has flown. Beautiful family. Reminds me of my family with my 10 siblings 😊

[@LLJerseyGirl]

💙💛💙💛 Omigosh, so many great memories!! Malachi!! Colette hasn’t aged. I still have a video of my ex-husband saying nonsense about not liking the Shaytards…we were at the airport and I was wearing one of my Shaytards t-shirts…ready with my handshake. (He hated the fact that watching your videos made me happy. Best divorce ever, LOL. Who in the world wouldn’t love you all?!)

[@onebluestone]

The truck has served you so well, helping you created so many shared memories.

[@OverlordDogz]

Aw man that old clip that you put in gave me so many memories. Love you guys!

It's so surreal seeing Gavin and Brock around the same age within this video. Any chance we can get reaction videos of the kids watching old videos like this? I think that would be so fun to see.

[@Raze71]

Seeing Malakai always makes me emotional, what a good boy he was. And when the 3 oldest still were Sontard, Princesstard and Babytard, those were the best days! Why am I bawling?!

[@TheBehemothHyper]

My favourite memory was when you did the MacGyver radio video. I remember Shay told a story of someone borrowing the van and the van was dead and the radio going into Anti-theft mode and then Shay shares the story how he got the code to unlock the radio! Of course let’s not forget Shay dancing in it!

[@Linda_Mayoh]

Our Dad had a 1956 Chev (Daisy). Us kids were 3,5 &6 years when our Dad died in 1967. I recall crying when we dropped off Daisy. We got into my brothers brand new 1967 LTD Ford and we loved the new car smell.

[@paigebreakitdown]

I remember all these old videos! I’m so sentimental about your van I’ve never physically even ridden in

[@ZeraCloud]

I think I was still in middle school watching you guys! I was bored one day and started watching Disneyland surprises, I think I was trying to bring joy in my life lol. You guys brought me through some rough patches in my life~ I appreciate everything you guys do! Can’t wait for more content. ❤️

[@tinabear313]

I remember when i justine became popular and she said I'm at the Shaytards house and that's when I looked you guys up I been watch ever since. Aw I miss Malachi 😢 wow look back on old videos wow I feel so old

[@AlexJPetrov]

I have seen every one of these videos when they came up. From your little house on the corner, to LA, to your big house and to this one. I feel like I've been in this car even though I have never seen it. The video that came to my mind first was the "bow and arrow" one. Miss this car but it's just a object a tool and the most important thing that made it special are the people.

[@sarahcg50]

Favorite memory : when you saw Ron on the side of the road and he proceeded to pull his pants down and try to jump in your window. 😝😂🤣So unexpected, it was the funniest thing! Your kids were like 😳 haha!
