It's annoying that she doesn't admit this. Any time people say anything about trying for a girl, she gets defensive and says how easy boys are and that she wouldn't know what to do with a girl. Plus, her husband said you "have to worry about them getting raped" so, who knows. Briana is working at at ER near their home, but I don't know what Ryan does with his days, other than take care of the chickens and guard their compound. Call me crazy, but if my pregnant butt was working overnight shifts in an ER during COVID, I would tell my husband not to come home unless he had money. They do seem to do well, though - their house was around 650K and it's pretty big. Not sure where the supplement to her income comes from, though.

Wow, Ryan and Briana are having another baby! I had to laugh at this post response by Vicki. Briana shared screenshots of nasty responses to her IG posts and Vicki's comment is just golden. Vicki's response:

Looks like Ryan had to send back his service dog. She wasn't blending well with the new baby and their active family. That's really sad. Looks like she's with a new family now and working out well. Hopefully she gets to stay there for life! https://www.instagram.com/p/CPUjWhMlnli/

That is absolutely the one moment that stuck with me throughout the entire series.

Did anyone catch the WWHL Real Kids episode a few weeks ago?

No, they didn't. They have been posting IG videos of their new place in Illinois

She's currently gutting her new place, but I don't believe she has disclosed where it is. Briana and Ryan have already moved to Illinois, I wonder if she is now in that area as well?

Sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound so cryptic! No, he just - really rubs me the wrong way. He seems so completely shady. And are they together, or not? Just the whole thing is so odd.

Has anyone looked at Steve’s Instagram?

Now Ryan, Briana, and Vicki are all shilling products on Instagram. And why does Vicki always post these cryptic, click-bait IG stories, like about her moving? You'd think someone she knew, um, had cancer by the way she dramatizes her life. Sheesh.

Yeah, he said something awhile back about how messed up the system is, that it would allow someone like him with a HS diploma to enlist and start "dropping bombs and making moms." I completely agree about the military system which is a whole other topic, but really? I mean I will not pretend to know what men and women witness in combat, but I can't imagine that all soldiers "make moms" if that's what you'd like to call it.

It was probably because she wanted her daughter and grandson to stay with her. Briana got super defensive during the reunion about that and said it was "misconstrued" during the course of the season. She said that what they meant by that arrangement is that Brooks wasn't allowed over specifically while they were there. Okay, but she was home with a newborn. Wouldn't they always be there? Seems like backpedalling. This whole move seems stranger by the minute. I admit that I watch Ryan's IG videos daily because it's like a car crash - you can't look away! A few things stuck out to me. One, he has repeatedly said that when they have another baby, he definitely doesn't want a girl because you have to worry about them "getting raped." Okay, I'm sure that's a fair enough fear for most girl moms, but seriously? That's the first that comes to your mind? Also, today he was looking at a globe with the boys and was pointing to a spot in the middle east, I don't remember exactly where, and he said something like "oh I'm sure I have some DNA over there, I dropped lots of bombs there" or some such. What? Who says that??

Well now I've seen it all. Vicki's latest IG post is showing a loophole of how to get into CA from Mexico without having to pay for a COVID test. Yes, I'm serious. ETA: Here is the link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CLOAO0GFsJq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I agree with you. And honestly, I have a public job too, like Briana, and it would definitely bother me if my husband was posting these ramblings at 4 am every night on his social media. Briana seems totally at the end of her rope. There was another one of his postings where Ryan and the boys were playing upstairs. Owen had a little mini meltdown because his brother knocked over his pillow fort, and Briana came charging up the stairs and grabbed his arm and pulled him out of it. They do things like this a lot and Ryan always makes a joke that the "kids aren't being abused." I hate to say it but I feel like Briana has just as bad a temper as her husband. Amazing how people find each other.

I know, it was news to me too. I don't know how frequent they are, but I think it was linked in her IG story....

Just watched one of Ryan's IG live videos from today. Briana sounds pissed off, and she says shes waiting on a phone call "to see if they got the house." So, I don't know what's going on lol

Well, you know what they say. No matter where you go, there you are. Vicki also said that she was happy that the schools in Oklahoma are “open!” So really, that’s what all this is about? Schools won’t stay closed forever. I’d rather have my kids home than deal with the tornadoes they said they hated. It’s not like Ryan has a 9-5 job that he has to get back to. There must be something else going on. Time will likely reveal more.

“This will allow Briana to stay home with her newborn for at least a year and will allow the boys to return to school and sports full time, which is what they are needing,” Vicki continued. “They have already sold their home in one day and purchased a new beautiful home in Oklahoma. They are very excited. Me? Well, initially, I wasn’t as happy as if they were moving to IL, which is where we are from, but I’ve come to love Oklahoma and the people there, and I’m confident this is the right move for them at this time in their lives. Our family definitely moves quickly on decisions.” ROFL https://www.allabouttrh.com/2021/02/06/vicki-gunvalson-reveals-briana-and-ryan-culberson-are-now-moving-back-to-oklahoma-plus-shuts-down-rumors-shes-having-money-problems-since-leaving-rhoc/

Oklahoma? I thought they hated Oklahoma! What the hell?

Exactly. I don't see how an ER nurse could think COVID is a joke. To me that seems a huge disconnect between them. But maybe she thinks its blown out of proportion? I don't know. I think that they want to try and live near her Midwestern family since it seems they share some of their values, so to speak. Her cousin just visited and based on his Facebook posts, it seems they are very similar in their belief system..

They both said they were disappointed in the schools where they live now. Ryan said he wants the kids in school, no masks. I assume they will live far outside Chicago because I can't see him fitting in there at all. They both get on my nerves.

Always hit the nail, Fozzy. I admittedly spend too much time looking at their IG but I also don’t watch the new seasons so, call it even lol. I actually asked in one of his lives if Briana would still be an ER nurse and he said if they moved off the grid she would just work as a nurse at home. So I guess they were young fir a Little House on the Prairie setup. But yes, it must be nice if your wife can provide a stable income and benefits while you do whatever you want. I know a couple like that. She works all the time and he is basically a house husband who takes odd job projects once in awhile. Whatever floats your boat, but I sure as hell wouldn’t be okay with working and having my husband stay home and play. But on the other hand, I can’t see Ryan being able to work with others in any capacity. He also said he ran a non-profit in Oklahoma. He really just managed Toys for Tots. I wouldn’t say that’s the same as running a non profit.

They do move a lot. And honestly, I wouldn't mind doing that myself if I could afford it. I love trying new locations and I do understand wanting to be near family. Although he recently said in an IG live that he basically came from nothing and lived in a trailer until he was 7, and was out on the streets when he was 15. It also appears he isn't very close to his family, so maybe there's not as many ties as they thought in NC. He is also hell bent on having the kids in schools without masks, so... I don't know. I thought it was weird that he kept basically soliciting business partners on his IG. I mean, I guess he's not alone. A lot of millennials I know are changing careers and doing more self-employment, but a lot of that sounds a little shady. Now it looks like he's going to have mini cows on the property where they are moving, so I assume they will be far outside the city limits!

Ryan said they are opening a dispensary. Wow. Maybe they can all finally chill out!

Ryan apparently has a new business set up. The way he talks it sounds like they are swimming in cash. I'd like to know where they get all their money. He had been asking on his IG lives for awhile if anyone needed help getting set up with a business/living for yourself/off the grid. He said he would move his family and set up shop on your property and help you get set up. They were also looking in really rural areas. Now it sounds like they want to be closer to her family.
