I remember Brian would sometimes say that being in front of the camera was more his thing than Lori so I just want to say Lori you’re doing such a great job.
Love seeing Lori more on here! I could listen to her stories of her and Brian all day ❤ seeing her laugh and smile makes my heart happy, she deserves it! Can’t wait to see all the cool fish you guys end up with at the LegaSea!
I think Noah did an amazing job when Brian first passed away. I can’t imagine how hard that was for him. That said I’m super excited to see Lorri take over. She is an iconic strong woman who has so much knowledge to share ❤
nailed it Lori has been the behind the scenes icon in the reptile and exotic pet circles for a LONG time and I love to see her in front of the camera. Nothing could ever replace brian but lori being here is really awesome representation that you can be a mom and a wife and all those things and still be into reptiles. I love seeing her in front of the camera and I think she could really bring something great to the vlog by being here more! She knows so much about animals and its epic.
I smiled through this entire vlog. The energy was great. I love Lori and Jay so much! I know that Lori has never really been a fan of being on camera, so I'm sure this is a huge change and adjustment for her...so, that's really telling of her love and dedication to us. So, thank you, Lori. I am so thankful for your love and hard work for us and what you do has not gone unnoticed. I admire you so very much, and hopefully, when I get to visit I'll be able to tell you that in person. Thank you again, Lori. And thank you, Jay! I'm sure it's a lot different for you, as well. Well, I know it has to be. You and Lori really keep that energy up for us. I love that you keep going for us and keep striving to give us good content that we have loved for all these years, keep up the great work, and always wear that kind smile! We love you both so much! I miss Brian a lot for this one, and I can't imagine how much they are...so much love to all of you guys.....and Mike, chew your food, buddy! LOL
Lori I just wanted to say how happy and sad to see you on the channel you’re doing such a great job. Please don’t give up we all are here to support you and your staff. Brian will always be missed there’s no bringing that back so make it new and the way you want to make the videos we all will still be here no matter who is in the video. We just love this channel for what Brian always wanted from his channel was to bring people together to love animals to help save the planet. God bless you stay strong for Brian’s memories 🙏🏽♥️🐟🐠🐡🐍💌
Lori, The way you have muscled your way through losing Brian is remarkable! But I think its a testament to how much Brian invested into you! You have that love inside your heart for life and it will continue to give you strength even in hard times because you know Brian is still with you! ❤
I love love love this Vlog It was so great to see Lori and JAY Having fun together it was so nice to see all the great fish and fish shops in Michigan. I love that place It was nice to hear them talking with Brian in the room. it was so lighthearted and made me smile Great Time Get Lori some coffee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lori, you are an impressive woman. You are truly inspiring the way you have continued moving forward with Brians dream of having the LegaSea. And now you are becoming more of a host on the channel even though you never really liked being on camera that much. You are overcoming so many obstacles, and you are doing it with grace and dignity. Thank you for continuing the channel and sharing your life and animals with us
Good morning Lori, jay tomsky and the rest of the crew. Great vlog today, I hope yall have an amazing Saturday. Seeing all the fish is getting me more excited for the legasea.
Omgoodness Lori was laughing so hard with that first fish eating that had me laughing because I could hear Brian even saying omgoodness did you see that thing eat. He was hungry, lol so fun to watch Lori with that same enthusiasm, tfs ❤😊
So much to see at those stores. Jay and Lori thanks for the adventure and seeing some of the types of fish we my see at LegaSea. Looks like it was a fun day. I can picture Lori and Brian checking out those stores together. GOD BLESS 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Lori- you are doing amazing. Make sure you don’t ever allow yourself to get overwhelmed because you have a whole family/community of support around you who want you to communicate with them when you need more help! Noah did an amazing job, and as a daughter who lost my dad/best friend in my early twenties and as a new parent too, I am just thinking of him and praying for him and the journey he is on with grief and being a new father/family man. He truly did so amazing and should feel so proud of all his hard week these last several months. I hated that he got so many critical, unempathetic comments ever since he took over and I was constantly defending him because the only people who could possibly said some of those things is somebody not seeing the whole picture, perhaps emotionally and mentally immature, or just plain miserable with their own life (which is never an okay excuse, but we have to be bigger and understand why they say things like that because then it’s easier for us to not take those harsh criticisms personally.) he didn’t deserve ANY of the hate and I personally like to welcome changes, especially through times of trial and especially when it isn’t even me going through it. I want to support those who are going through difficult periods of life, and I personally LOVED all his videos and watched even MORE diligently than I did previously because I wanted to constantly support during this tough year for all of you. The first two years are the hardest, and no matter where Noah goes, I am so proud of him. He really pushed himself and worked so hard during one of the most painful transitions in life. I can relate so much to everything he shared and I really am proud of him and I know you are too, Lori! You and Adrian raised an amazing kid, and I’m sure it is so exciting watching his grow as a father! Again, I know this is another transition for you and everybody, but I know you are surrounded by great people who will be happy to step up, so please don’t take it all on and just make sure to communicate! Live life one day at a time! That’s all any of us can do and when we stay present and open, it truly does help alleviate a lot of the anxiety and pressure. You are doing amazing, and I’m sending you love! 💓💗🩷 PS: don’t make yourself so busy that you forget to take time for yourself and give yourself time to grieve. I feel like once the opening happens, a lot of it will hit you..the accomplishment but not having Brian physically present…but know he is there rooting you on in spirit. You will also deserve a brief reprieve which you will need to plan so that you can give yourself time to grieve. Grief is like the tide…it comes in waves and you need to make sure you aren’t forgetting about giving yourself that time when you need it, especially when it starts building up because you are keeping so busy. It is a great thing to stay busy, but finding that balance is one of the toughest parts of grief, especially because most of the time, it comes and hits you out of nowhere. Just know that I support you and soooo so many others do, even if they aren’t saying it. We love all of you guys! You and the family and entire team…just a great group of very kind people. Anybody would be lucky/blessed to be able to be apart of what you are accomplishing‼️💓💗🩷❤️
I love what you wrote. Thank you and I feel the same way about the situation and the development of Lori's and Noah's life since Brian's untimely passing. ❤️💔
So much fun, and I would say Stingray Bay (?) was my personal favorite! Couldn’t believe some of the exotics that were available, I’ve only seen them in documentaries or major aquariums like Monterey Bay…cool. I was wondering if Steve might do a corner tank with Nautilus, they are incredible to watch and they are one of the most prehistoric animals in our oceans today. Next time you go shopping, hope you can find a place that has them. Thanks Lori and Jay for taking us along, really enjoyed the tour.🐠🐟🐡🐙🪼🦑💕👍
Good morning Barczyk family and crew I hope y’all are having a great day and a great weekend. I love these videos where y’all visit pet shops and zoos. I really love seeing the beautiful fish and animals. I really can’t wait to see what fish and marine animals y’all bring to the legasea. Y’all have been doing a wonderful job on the legasea keep up the amazing work. I love watching y’all and I love learning from y’all. I love y’all and I hope y’all have a great day each and every day. 😁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦅🐊🦥🐸🦈🐢🐍🦎🐡🐠
LorI your doing an amazing job, love seeing in front of the camera more. noah did an amazing job with the vlog as well. Hope everyone has an awesome weekend, love you guys, love and miss you Brian 💚
Fantastic vlog Jay. It was so nice to see Lori, and you get so excited about going to so many places, and seeing all of the beautiful selection of fish. Great to see Lori laugh, and smile. My favorite place was the one that Mr. Bashi owns. All of the awesome fish, and the pretty coral, and his beautiful tanks, and so much to look at. Lori is doing an excellent job on the vlogs. I hope that the both of you, and the Reptarium staff have a wonderful day. ❤All of your animals, and reptiles. Cindy
For me, it was always fun to go Petshop-hopping. The variety of fish, plants, corals,and aquarium setups made this activity worth it. One will usually find something to add to their aquarium or fish room. Glad you were able to experience the joy of doing it in your area, Lori. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. ❤❤❤❤
Really fun field trip Lori and Jay, thanks for bringing us along! My two fish are now 20 years old! Can’t believe it’s been that long, but I remember buying them at about 3-4 inches, now my big one is over 27 inches! So definitely do ur research when buying a new fish or any pet for that matter. Love u guys!💜🫂☮️
Morning Lori and Jay awesome fish shops to visit. The Legasea will be the place to visit, hands down. Take care, love ya’s and cheers from down under 🐍🦎🐢🦘
The fish are absolutely beautiful! The stingrays or the pufferfish, hard to pick a favourite 😅 also, it'll be so cool to see pygmy pufferfish at the aquarium 😍
@loribarczyk3325 I know that you are very busy, but at some point could you do a segment on your view on life and how you have been able to be so strong. I don't know how you do it and I and everyone else would like to learn from you.
Great Vlog Jay and Lori, Jay I love Your energy. You are just as amazing in front of the camera as You are as a video-grapher behind the scenes. Great Vlog as usual. Lori looks Amazing as usual. One thing I learned in life is that everything happens for a reason. With the Legasea Aquarium coming together. This is possibly a really good time for Lori to practice being in front of the camera. Brian and Noah were the in front of the camera Guys, and Lori was the Big Picture CEO that kept the business going. One suggestion that I would make is now that You are doing more in front of the camera work. Is now delegation is Your best friend. Maybe start teaching someone You trust to lessen the load of Your other responsibilities. I really like the idea of Lori doing less behind the scenes and practicing her in front of the scenes skills, so when the Legasea Aquarium opens She is ready to meet and greet. Kiss Babies, and field comfortably the individuals who's lives Brian has changed. Great Vlog!!! And remember to Enjoy the Process Guys.
Shweet!!!! I can’t wait for legacy!! Will be making the trip AGAIN to MI and visit for 3/4 days!!! We visited the Rep on July 3, 2024 for my 40th bday!!!! It’s so much better in person! Plus, we did get a sneak peek of the legacy. See y’all at animalcon!!
man, seeing that Petsmart fish area brings back memories, i had to get a job there, after my doctor told me i needed a lighter job, after my wreck..so i was in charge of the Fish, Reptiles, Birds, and Small animals.. I'd already had experience with both fish and snakes, but it made me fall in love with rats.. 2 times a week i would put in some bloodworms in the tropical fresh water, and some green peas in the cold water, and vegetable eating tanks, like pacus ...those gold fish and koi would act like stereotypical piranhas, over green peas
the fish. monument. lovely fish. great ambiance. 1954. wow 😮. reptarium. it will be an honor. separating fam business. 💯🎊🎊🎊💯💯✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥 i love fish for the tranquility.
Honestly Lori has been such an icon low key for me since 2008. A baddy female reptile and animal nerd who has an adorable dry mom humor like me. I mean yes please more Lori! This has been great!
This was such a fun video! I love seeing all the different shops and hearing y'all talk about memories with Brian 🖤 Thank you for everything you do Jay and Lori 🥰
Lori just wanted to say.. Thank you for keeping us in the family.. For all your work an keeping Brian alive through you..❤❤❤... I know you really wasnt a camera person, so it really does mean alot to us.. Also thank you to the crew, they are the best for hanging in there an helping you.. Thank you all.. BRIAN DEFINITELY WOULD BE GRATEFUL...😢❤❤❤
My local pet store called *Pet Paradise* family owned and operated, they have reptiles, fish, supplies and what they got more than other pet stores others don’t have cork bark pieces.
Exciting prelude of the things that are about to come👌🏻 🐠🐡Would love a good Euphylia (torch, hammer and frogspawn) coral garden in one of the areas of your live coral tank💪🏻 Love Jay and Lori's energy🙌🏻💙🙌🏻
Brian should be with you all. He'd be geeking out right along with you at all the cool fish. The 14th, we will never forget. Love to you all. Stay strong.
My little town had a great fish, snake shop years ago.. I used to go in everyday on my way home from school for years.. sadly it closed.. and I was devastated.. I stopped in everyday for five years..
I had a dream about Brian’s two head animals last night, the one’s he preserved. I was thinking it would be cool to do some type of display with back lights and a plaque telling about his love for them.
You two are doing an amazing job. I always knew this wasn't Noahs passion his heart wasn't in it. He tried so hard due to his dad, but I am pleased he is able to follow his own dream, journey. Lori is doing fab.
Lori, I love all the fish you showed the sargasmthe tetras, the barbs maybe you should look for some loaches. And some sharks. And some octopuses and clams. Oh, and I love the puffers.Puffers are awesome.I've had a 2 peep puffers, but they stay small.They're awesome too.Have a good day love your show
Lori wearing a "Staff" shirt makes me laugh. 1) wherever she goes "Why is everyone asking me dumb questions? 2) She doesn't need a Staff Shirt at the Reptarium
I remember Brian would sometimes say that being in front of the camera was more his thing than Lori so I just want to say Lori you’re doing such a great job.
It's great to see Laurie smiling and laughing.
Love seeing Lori more on here! I could listen to her stories of her and Brian all day ❤ seeing her laugh and smile makes my heart happy, she deserves it! Can’t wait to see all the cool fish you guys end up with at the LegaSea!
Thank You!
@@christie.grefff Lori is amazing!
I think Noah did an amazing job when Brian first passed away. I can’t imagine how hard that was for him.
That said I’m super excited to see Lorri take over. She is an iconic strong woman who has so much knowledge to share ❤
Love Lori, and her taking part in these vlogs is a good thing! Can’t help but think how much she has on her plate is overwhelming just to think about.
I agree 100%! Lori is an epic role model
nailed it Lori has been the behind the scenes icon in the reptile and exotic pet circles for a LONG time and I love to see her in front of the camera. Nothing could ever replace brian but lori being here is really awesome representation that you can be a mom and a wife and all those things and still be into reptiles.

Lori, you are a natural on the blog! Things that are scariest to us become what we are best at. You Rock!
I love the passion Lori is showing!!! Her and Jay make a great team!!!
Lori, you are a natural behind the camera ❤, Big Jay as always great job. Love field trip days❤

J Tomsky is my favorite person. Best vlog style!(: thank you for always coming out with new material ❤
I love the new video format!❤❤ You guys are doing great! Brian would be PROUD of you!!! 🐍🐟🐠🐡 ❤
More Lori! I love her passion
Loved the whale shark looking guy that ate "faster than Mike" lol Lori is the best
I really hope they get some of those!
You guys gotta check out Preuss Pets up in Lansing one of these days. They have a river inside and an old safari bus housing some of their reptiles
Love the end haha. Nice to see her smiling and happy ! Keep going !
I think Brian would be grinning up a storm to be seeing you in the Vlog so much, Lori!
Morning Lori and Jay awesome fish shops to visit. The Legasea will be the place to visit, hands down. Take care, love ya’s and cheers from down under 🐍🦎🐢🦘
“ he eats quicker than mike” made me laugh so hard 😂
I literally laughed out loud and had no idea how to explain why we love feeding Mike LOL
Amazing Aquariums, so much to look at.
The fish are absolutely beautiful! The stingrays or the pufferfish, hard to pick a favourite 😅 also, it'll be so cool to see pygmy pufferfish at the aquarium 😍
So awesome to see Lori laugh and having fun after what she been thru❤
Yaaaaaaay! This video is my crack! Omg I loooooove going to fish stores more than just about anything! Tysm for doing this! I enjoyed it so much!
Thank you! Lori is killin it on camera....good job!
Definitely 👍🏻
Thank you for your support!
@loribarczyk3325 I know that you are very busy, but at some point could you do a segment on your view on life and how you have been able to be so strong. I don't know how you do it and I and everyone else would like to learn from you.
Been to all these stores but Detroit Reef. The staff at each are fantastic! Thanks for sharing your spotlight!
I love you all. So good of you guys helping out the Mom & Pop shop.
Loved all the shops. Like you said the mom and pop shops are the best. Thanks for sharing. 💚🪖💙
“It eats quicker than Mike”
That made me crack up!!
Love this channel. Always have. Always will. Great job Lori and Jay. Will return to Utica when #Legasea is ready. Miss the 🐐. #BrianStrong
Way to go Lori and Jay keeping the vlog alive and killing it ❤ thank you
Great Vlog Jay and Lori,
Jay I love Your energy. You are just as amazing in front of the camera as You are as a video-grapher behind the scenes. Great Vlog as usual.
Lori looks Amazing as usual. One thing I learned in life is that everything happens for a reason. With the Legasea Aquarium coming together. This is possibly a really good time for Lori to practice being in front of the camera. Brian and Noah were the in front of the camera Guys, and Lori was the Big Picture CEO that kept the business going.
One suggestion that I would make is now that You are doing more in front of the camera work. Is now delegation is Your best friend. Maybe start teaching someone You trust to lessen the load of Your other responsibilities.
I really like the idea of Lori doing less behind the scenes and practicing her in front of the scenes skills, so when the Legasea Aquarium opens She is ready to meet and greet. Kiss Babies, and field comfortably the individuals who's lives Brian has changed.
Great Vlog!!! And remember to Enjoy the Process Guys.
The ending was so cute and endearing. Loved it!
Someone get Lori some coffee! LOL She's adorbs :)
Shweet!!!! I can’t wait for legacy!! Will be making the trip AGAIN to MI and visit for 3/4 days!!! We visited the Rep on July 3, 2024 for my 40th bday!!!! It’s so much better in person! Plus, we did get a sneak peek of the legacy. See y’all at animalcon!!
man, seeing that Petsmart fish area brings back memories, i had to get a job there, after my doctor told me i needed a lighter job, after my wreck..so i was in charge of the Fish, Reptiles, Birds, and Small animals.. I'd already had experience with both fish and snakes, but it made me fall in love with rats.. 2 times a week i would put in some bloodworms in the tropical fresh water, and some green peas in the cold water, and vegetable eating tanks, like pacus ...those gold fish and koi would act like stereotypical piranhas, over green peas
You should check out Pruess pets in Lansing and blue fish in Grand Rapids.
the fish. monument. lovely fish. great ambiance. 1954. wow 😮. reptarium. it will be an honor. separating fam business. 💯🎊🎊🎊💯💯✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥 i love fish for the tranquility.
Honestly Lori has been such an icon low key for me since 2008. A baddy female reptile and animal nerd who has an adorable dry mom humor like me. I mean yes please more Lori! This has been great!
I loved the black & white shark that was freaking awesome!!!
Lori doing a great job on the vlog as well as all the work on the legacy!
Thank you for your support!😊
This is incredible for you guys to do, fish stores rarely get this kind of audience.
Great video today Lori and Jay. 💚 Thanks for bringing us along on this lil adventure. 😇
thanks Lori...you were my favorite today.
This is an exciting tour. I had those red finned sharks in my tank. Fascinating to plan what will be at the LegaSea
its great seeing lori stepping up out of her comfort zone. i also really like seeing jay in front of the camera helping her along!
Bless your heart Lori.
This was such a fun video! I love seeing all the different shops and hearing y'all talk about memories with Brian 🖤 Thank you for everything you do Jay and Lori 🥰
Lori-That was great. I didn’t think anything was quicker than Mike when it came to food.😁👍❣️
Lori just wanted to say.. Thank you for keeping us in the family.. For all your work an keeping Brian alive through you..❤❤❤... I know you really wasnt a camera person, so it really does mean alot to us.. Also thank you to the crew, they are the best for hanging in there an helping you.. Thank you all..
BRIAN DEFINITELY WOULD BE GRATEFUL...😢❤❤❤
Puffer fish 🐡 definitely a fav . Some in this video I've never see . Great video
Love seeing Lori laughing !
Me too! She is so strong. 🫂
You are it sound like she’s the only person who’s ever lost someone
Oh my word. I used to have a 55 g saltwater tank. I love it.
Looking at all those fish... uGH I want another one.
My local pet store called *Pet Paradise* family owned and operated, they have reptiles, fish, supplies and what they got more than other pet stores others don’t have cork bark pieces.
So many cool fish A lot of great options for potential fish at the aquarium!!!!!!!
Lori you are doing great and looking great on camera, we love you and you guys got this..
Exciting prelude of the things that are about to come👌🏻 🐠🐡Would love a good Euphylia (torch, hammer and frogspawn) coral garden in one of the areas of your live coral tank💪🏻
Love Jay and Lori's energy🙌🏻💙🙌🏻
Brian should be with you all. He'd be geeking out right along with you at all the cool fish. The 14th, we will never forget. Love to you all. Stay strong.
Brian is gone! Stop
@@trish9786You stop! You are laughable if you think he is forgotten.
@@trish9786I think they know that, though I think it would have been better to acknowledge that he was there and geeking out with them just from above
Brian is there every second in spirit and smiling down from above.
You are totally correct. I should have said he was with them. Thank you for reminding me 👍
Good morning Lori.
What a exciting way to spend the day.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Play safe have fun. 😊😊
Coffee!!! It’s a MUST have! You’re doing GREAT! ✝️🦓🥄
How awesome, I would be so overwhelmed at all the choices! I love Angel fish too!
I look forward to coffee to! haha . Keep being amazing
Good to see you Lori !
You guys are the best. Love you all very much ❤
The Remora was absolutely gorgeous and so cool to watch.
👍👍awesome job thanks for the tours
Great job, Lori! Can't wait to see what else the reptarium will be getting in the future.
My little town had a great fish, snake shop years ago.. I used to go in everyday on my way home from school for years.. sadly it closed.. and I was devastated.. I stopped in everyday for five years..
Discus are my favorite. You guys NEED those.
Definitely go to the mom and pop shops. You will regret PetSmart fish. Trust me, I learned enough working at a location on the west side of our state.
Lori, you and Jay are doing an amazing job with the vlog. I am excited to see what you do next.
I had a dream about Brian’s two head animals last night, the one’s he preserved. I was thinking it would be cool to do some type of display with back lights and a plaque telling about his love for them.
You two are doing an amazing job. I always knew this wasn't Noahs passion his heart wasn't in it. He tried so hard due to his dad, but I am pleased he is able to follow his own dream, journey. Lori is doing fab.
Great video! Very informative
Great video, thanks 👍
Great video, I personally love scorpion and frog fish!
I said God needed Brian to make things happen with the animals. To help create new and watch over the existing animals.
Awesome! Great video Lori!
Lori, I love all the fish you showed the sargasmthe tetras, the barbs maybe you should look for some loaches. And some sharks.
And some octopuses and clams. Oh, and I love the puffers.Puffers are awesome.I've had a 2 peep puffers, but they stay small.They're awesome too.Have a good day love your show
Lori wearing a "Staff" shirt makes me laugh. 1) wherever she goes "Why is everyone asking me dumb questions? 2) She doesn't need a Staff Shirt at the Reptarium
Y'all have me horse laughing 🤣😂 Loved all the shops. So awesome 😎 Love you guys ❤️🙏💪
