The Shaytards is a daily vlogging internet show on Youtube. The show consists of Shay Carl and family, extended family, friends, and more. Each vlog is usually 10-20 minutes worth of clips throughout Shay and his wife Colette's daily life, as well as their 5 kids, Sontard, Princesstard, Babytard, Rocktard, and Brotard.
