I'm sorry to see all this Brad. 33yo man just crying at work, that ending was so heartfelt. We can see the emotion in your eyes at the end. I think it is amazing to have a message like that from your dad. He seemed so supportive and enthusiastic of what you did. I know we're all just randoms on the internet, but I think most of us truly mean it when we say that we're all here supporting you. Thanks for all you do, and take the time you need to deal with this
This is pretty much exactly what I would have said. Except I’d have to change it to ‘a 41 year old man crying on the couch’ My heartfelt condolences, Brad!
Yeah I was in laying in bed watching and that last 5/6 mins of the video were pretty tough to get through. Coming from a 49 year old guy sooooo there’s that. Props to Brad for holding it together to put out that vlog I’m sure your dad is proud.
Condolences Brad to you and your family from a long time subscriber. Listen to your Dad's advice and continue the vlog and remember the life lessons instilled in you by your parents. This is coming from a 64 year old man who lost his Father 11 years ago from complications from renal kidney failure/dialysis and currently losing his Mother to Alzheimer's. God bless.
Your dad was 6 months younger than I am Brad. Your vlog has caused me to pick up the phone and call my 3 kids to tell them how proud I am of them. We live thousands of miles apart (they are in Australia, I’m in Thailand), but I will get off my butt go see them. Condolences on your loss and thanks for all your videos, especially this one
That ending was one of the most touching things I’ve ever seen in any video. I can tell you and your dad had an amazing relationship, Brad. I’m sure he’s super proud of everything you’ve accomplished, and you continue to inspire both young and old intelligent, and creative minds to get out there and achieve whatever they set their mind to. You are an amazing inspiration, and it’s been phenomenal watching you grow from where you started. I wish the best for you, and I can’t wait to make it to one of the meet up games. I got teary eyed watching because I lost my dad when I was 5. I always wonder what he would’ve said about who I am today, and if he’d be proud or not. Poker isn’t something that everyone loves or agrees with (when it comes to being an integral part of your life). But it’s a passion like no other for some people, me being one of them. Parents can’t be replaced, but it’s awesome that you were able to build so many memories with him. I can’t wait to do that for my future son(s). Have a great one Brad, and keep on crushing the tables for your dad.
One of the most touching videos ever. This one is going to be the biggest video on your channel for sure. The ending video with your dad was absolutely beautiful. His words were so touching! Your dad is absolutely going to watch over you every single step of the way! Play poker for your dad, because there is no doubt , every second you play, he will be smiling, through wins and losses, your dad will absolutely be watching you every single chip you win or lose. What a touching moment, and we truly send our condolences, and thank you for sharing Brad! Keep your head held high, and know, your guardian angel is watching you every step of the way! We love you!
Your father’s words brought tears to my eyes. You are a lucky man to have been raised by such an uplifting and honorable father. Wishing you and your family peace during these times.
Sorry for your loss Brad. Glad to hear the vlogs made your dad proud, and it’s giving you focus and keeping you strong. Take time to decompress then you’ll be back on the circuit stronger than ever! We’ll be ready and waiting to watch and support ❤️🔥
Nothing better than hearing words from your dad that I could feel how proud he was. Yep, 42 year old watching. Crying. I hope I can one day give my 4 year old a message later in life that was as heartfelt as your dad did for you. Much love, Brad Owen.
Brad, you truly are one of a kind. As a dad myself, I could feel the genuine pride in his voice. I’m so very very sorry for your loss. I hope you find the peace you deserve and continue to do what you love. Your videos bring laughter, learning and entertainment to so many of us. Thank you for doing what you do sir.
Brad I'm truly sorry for your loss. Your dad sounded like a great guy, and he obviously loved you a lot. I'm glad he got so much joy from the vlog and you guys could share that together. My eyes are tearing up a little typing this out. Losing someone so close to you is something you'll never really get over, but the pain does recede with time. My dad passed away in the 2017 fires in Sonoma County, he was my best friend, I think about him all the time, as I'm sure you will with your dad. Hold on to all those good memories of him and use it as motivation to keep kicking ass in life. Another great video by the way, still the best channel on youtube. ❤
This comment really resonates with me. Thanks for sharing. Those fires, as you may know, really affected my family as well with my sister losing her place and the fires stopping about 120 ft from my parents' place but torching everything north of it in the city. I appreciate your message and I hope you're doing well. Best of luck to you Derek.
What a touching video, comment and response. We’re all with you Brad, and yes we’re random internet followers but we feel like we know you from your incredibly personal and “heart on your sleeve” videos and we’re here supporting you. I love explaining the revenge range shirt and sending people to your channel. Much love and condolences to you and your family, I hope everyone settles back into their lives soon. Your dad is always with you!!!
I’ve never felt compelled to comment on a video (and I watch them all) but the tribute to your dad at the end was amazing. He seemed like he was larger than life and I’m so happy you shared that with us. Rest In Peace Mr Owen.
Jesus. That was amazing. I called my dad straight after this. Thanks for reminding us all how precious it it to be able to do that. I’m sorry for your loss, your dad looked like a legend. Best wishes to you and your entire family x
Im sorry for your loss Brad. I lost my father tragically and it has been tough. I do my best to move forward and stay positive. I played poker with you once and you were everything i came to expect from your vlogs in a positive way. Your vlogs mean alot to poker and the people watching them. You lift alot of peoples spirits up watching these and assuredly do mine.
Eh..Heard that Brad's Dad was a Trump supporter, you really going to be sad over someone who supports an insurrectionist that tried to destroy Democracy?
Thanks Brad for letting us into your personal life and sharing such amazing memories of you and your family. My sincere condolences to you and your loved ones. Those voice messages are priceless. Your fans are here to support you Brad; you are LOVED dearly.
Brad the reason I watch you is because I connect with you. You are real. You are here for us. Make a tough day better just putting your videos on. Love getting your new video notification. You are genuine. Showing us the good, the bad, ups and down. You’re vulnerable and funny. Please never stop doing what you love and vloging it for us to share your experiences. We love you and appreciate it all. And I’m so sorry for your dad 😢
Brad, I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my dad in September of last year. I was born in Vegas while my dad was stationed at Nellis Air Force base. He took me back to Vegas for my 21st birthday, even bought me my first lap dance at one of the clubs! My dad and I bonded over so many card games, collecting sports cards and even becoming soccer referees. I know it's an over used phrase but I know how you feel. The world can never replace our dads but the best thing we can do is honor their memories and become the best men we can be! Stay strong, you have a community that loves you and is here to support you!
Holy moly Brad. Watched every minute of this. I’m a few years older than you and a dad of three small kids and the pride bursting from your dad with every word in that message and the smile on his face when he was around you in the video clips - wow. You made your dad proud every single second. He will be missed by all moving forward but he knew just how loved he really was. I hope your mom is doing okay and we will be praying for your family. I lost my dad in 2016 and I hope I made him as proud as you made your dad 🙂
I'm so sorry for your loss, Brad. Thank you for making and sharing such a touching tribute. You're deserving of all the good that comes your way. You bring others so much joy, and your father saw that in you. Don't ever stop.
Thanks a lot for the comment and the donation James. I put a lot into this video and especially the ending, I'm glad it's resonating with others. When you put yourself out there that much, you never really know what to expect but it's a very very cool thing for me to see all of the support. Thanks again.
That was such a great vlog, Brad, especially the tribute to your dad. You are so lucky to still have that message from him. My dad, also a Michael, passed away suddenly last year and that ending went straight through my heart. Keep up the great work!
Takes me back to growing my channel with the support of my mom- like you, I was able to see success while she was still with me. Supportive parents are AMAZING. So glad you had time with your dad, and so thankful you made this video. Thank you, Brad- love from the Galafam.
That voice message of your dad is priceless. Had me crying out loud. My condolences and thank you for sharing all this in the vlog. The laughs and tears you share makes this the best pokervlog in the world.
What a heartfelt tribute. Very nicely done. I lost my mom a year ago and just watching your video brought it all back to me, but in a good way. You captured all the wonderful things about your father, and it made me remember all the wonderful things about my mom. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow, never has a RUclips video gotten to my feelings quite like this one. I’m so sorry for your loss Brad and I’m sending you lots of love and strength. Thank you endlessly for allowing us into your life and sharing not only your poker experiences, but your personal experiences with us. Your dad is right, we love you, we all have your back, and look forward to your next video every week. You figured out the RUclips views thing solely by being yourself and publishing content that you enjoyed making. Looking forward to the future of your poker adventure and career.
Your dad was right; your followers absolutely love you, and this channel is a phenomenon. I laughed out loud at the Brendan Fraser references, and my eyes filled with tears when I heard your dad’s encouraging words. Thanks for sharing this treasured, personal glimpse at his character and life. Makes me want to be a better, more encouraging dad for my kids. And regarding the phenomenon: I can show up to a 1-2 game at a random Casino in Arizona on a Thursday night, and when I mention Brad Owen, most of the table smiles and fondly talks about this vlog. Rampage could never. This was a magnificent tribute to your dad. All your successes will continue to be a tribute to the man who supported you. I hope you take his advice and keep creating as long as you can✊🏼
Thanks Bradley for sharing. The tribute to your father brought many tears. My father was a type A, always worried I would not be the successful man he thought I could be. In my early 30's I called him as I did from time to time to see how he was getting on, and during one of those calls he said, "you know, I am always happy to hear you your voice as you are always so happy, joyful and cheerful." He repeats this almost every time we speak to this day. Watching this tribute reminds me of how lucky both my father and I are he came to realize the joy of a son being happy in the eyes of his father. Sorry for you loss, Miles.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! That was hands down my favorite vlog from you. I’m so sorry for your loss and also your family’s loss. Trent seems to be a gentle giant and an amazing dad. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of being his son.
Brad you’re the first person I started watching when starting to play poker. Thank you for the vlogs. Your Dad is proud of you and may he Rest In Peace
Hey Brad, I’m a recreation player playing primarily $1-$3 no limit and started watching your vlog a couple months ago. I can’t tell you how much my game has improved in terms of thought process and narrowing opponents hand range and it has shown in my results. I went all the way back to the beginning and started from your first vlog. I love your humour as well as the way you break down the hands. You’ve come so far from that initial vlog and your confidence really shows through today. I’m still about a year behind in terms of catching up to the current vlogs but I just wanted to say how great this has been watching your journey. It really feels like we get to know you on a personal level so I was absolutely gutted at the end of this video finding out about your dad. He’s right. Don’t stop doing these vlogs. They are amazing! And the end of this one is just more proof of that. A fitting tribute to your dad and what he meant to you and his influence on you. Hope you’re keeping well! We need a meet up game in Niagara Falls Canada so I can come out. You’re awesome! Keep it up! Cheers!
Thanks Brad, I just had to explain to my wife why I’m balling like a baby watching poker vlogs on my couch… so sorry for your loss. Sounds like your dad was very proud of you and that is one of the best feelings in life.
Brad, this brought back all the feelings of when I lost my Dad back in college, especially that voicemail at the end. I'll be praying for you and your family during this tough time. Definitely don't stop making the vlogs like your Dad said, it's been and will continue to be an amazing documentation of your journey. You've got such a big heart for your fans, really putting yourself out there to interact with as many of your fanbase as possible which most RUclipsrs find especially challenging, and I'm sure you get that heart from your Dad. I think the worst part of losing someone you care about is that the world keeps moving onward while you're mourning, but know that we, your followers, support and care about you! Stay strong buddy.
I'm so sorry for your loss man, but your father was right don't ever stop these vlogs. You've definitely inspired me to get back into playing after a pretty long hiatus. That ending was heartbreaking but thank-you for sharing those memories with all of us and again my condolences to you and your family 🙏
So brave of you to film yourself telling us this news. So sorry for your loss Brad, I will pray for your family to have comfort during this difficult time. From the clips we saw, your dad always had a big smile on his face….that’s cause of you.
Never commented before Brad. I just love watching you young men grind. When my dad pass I know now why they named it the wailing wall. Did not know it was in myself to have this kind of grief. May you continue to shine. We have been watching from the very early years. I can not tell how much I have enjoyed your passion for poker. The truth is I do not play poker. What I love and do understand is the journey. Now that I'm about to retire even more so. Please don't stop your channel! Love SueLee and Roggiedale
Wow. I'm so sorry to hear about your father's passing. It was powerful to see your emotions In fact, I'm an emotional wreck through the whole end of this. The voicemail, the story of his life and how he went from not supporting you, to telling you to never stop. That's so powerful. I am happy to hear that he absolutely loved the vlogs and meeting everyone, and it proves there is something to this community and somethin about you that is just absolutely magnetic. Thanks for the video, I'm sorry I missed it when it came out, I was having my surgery. But nothing I could lose would mean more to me than losing my dad. And so coming out and sharing this was a wonderful memorial for him and thanks for bringing us along on the ride! Thanks for all your hard work, and helping us all learn so much more about poker and fall in love with the game! PS: the double quads was unreal, but that wasn't anywhere near the best part of this vid.
first time and (probably) last time I'll cry watching a youtube video. So sorry for your loss Brad. Here to tell you we all love the message your dad shared with you! You've had the biggest positive impact on poker of anyone I can think of, and it's awesome that your dad came around to understand that.
You have videos and photos of your father and family together that will last your lifetime. You can always look back at those memories. Most ppl don’t have those kinds of videos, photos etc. I wish I had those kinds videos of my father before he past. My deepest condolences. This should teach ppl to capture the moments with their parents, kids, and family. Don’t blink, before you know it, everything is gone.
Super sorry for your loss :( I pray that you take all the time you need, and you know we support you through this hard time! Praying for you and your family! ❤️
Beautiful tribute to the OG Dad Owen. It is incredibly clear that he was so proud of you and loved you so so so much. Lots of love to you and your family, Brad. ❤️
Brad I’m so so sorry man, I’ll never forget that time when your dad came to the poker room at the Graton and gave you a thumbs up after you won that huge pot. Definitely my favorite vlog. Take care man and my heart goes out to you during this difficult time.
Sorry for the loss of your father, Brad. We love you, brother. Great time for a vlog. We miss your videos but we understand family first. Thank you for doing all you can to still make us, your viewers, a priority.
Adding to this, the part of your dad talking made me cry man. My dad and I have not talked to each other in over a year. This made me reach out. Thank you. Thank you for this.
So sorry for your loss. I can tell even through those few clips, that your Dad was the kind of man that made sure you knew he loved you. My mom was that way too and I'm glad that you had such a big, kind, loving father. Never forget that the greatest blessing you ever got was that he was your Dad. Don't be sad that he's now gone, rejoice that you had him for as long as you did and that so much of him lives in you every single day.
What wonderful words from your father, he was most obviously a very special man. Keep doing what you are doing Brad, you inspire not only us as poker players, but as fellow humans. Very sorry for your loss. A hug from Portugal man.
Amazing tribute to your dad. He raised one of the good guys much like himself. I have to agree with him, never slow, stop the vlog. Share your gift with others. Thank you Brad. My condolences to you and your family.
Brad, that was an amazing video and a fitting tribute to your dad. He comes across as a genuinely brilliant guy and it must be heartening for you to know how proud he was of you. We've only interacted briefly but I can vouch for the fact that his faith wasn't misplaced at all, keep up the good work and congrats on all your success. My father is currently going through treatment for cancer, so this really hit home for me. I only hope that he's as proud of me as your dad was of you.
Wow, that message from your dad at the end got me. What a treasure that you got that and it's so cool that he was such a vocal supporter at the end. And he's right - you are very talented, both at poker and the vlog. You and Andrew have absolutely paved the way for a new generation of poker and the way you weave in personal life with solid poker content is impressive. I'm in Tampa so hope to see you at my home casino at the end of August. God bless!
I’m so sorry for your loss , what a lovely, moving tribute that you know he would have loved. Keep being awesome and take solace from the fact you clearly made your dad so proud.
This vlog really hit home for me. That voice-mail from your Dad is priceless. I think those are the types of words every son wants to hear from their father. I lost my Dad 4 years ago, and this video was cathartic. This also made me really think about how often I should let my own sons know how I feel about them. I shared this video with my wife who has no interest in poker, but she also really enjoyed watching it. Your heart, humor, depth, and vulnerability come through and are the reason you have truly separated yourself from all other poker vlogs. Thank you for putting yourself out there. I'll never stop watching.
It’s amazing how we have to defy our parents to follow our dreams and in the end they respect us for it. Sorry for your loss. He raised a good man and ultimately I’m sure that was his dream.
I'm so sorry for you Brad, your Dad sounds like an absolutely amazing guy. This hit me hard man! Reminds me of my mum, I miss her so so much. Part of life is about learning to take the hits and keep getting back up. It's like a game of poker and no matter what happens, no matter how many beats you take, the ride is never over. Even if your dad has departed, he hasn't gone. He'll live on in your memories, and now in everyone else's too. Thanks for sharing some of the better moments you captured with him. Take care of yourself dude
Brad my heart goes out to you man. Just remember all of the good times you two shared over the years. Keep working hard and you’ll get through this time in your life. You earned all of the success you’ve had and I’m sure your dad was extremely proud of you and that was a great tribute you added at the end!
I hope I can be an ounce of an inspiration to my kids one day as your dad was to you. Such an emotional heartfelt ending and I’m sure your dad will always be in your heart and on the felt with you forever We love you Brad!
Thanks for sharing so much, Brad. I was moved by your tribute, and can appreciate your close relationship with your dad, and how you’re feeling now. I lost my father when I was 29, and still think of him every day at the age of 51. We are blessed to have had these caring, wonderful men in our lives. I hope you take time to take care of yourself - the temptation can be to burn the candle at both ends, please look after your health. Thanks again
The most amazing and loving integration of family love and poker that I’ve ever seen ant poker blogs. Your father seemed a true man and a loving father. Thank you Brad for sharing something so personal and caring. Your story tells us all that a loving family is winning with the nuts. God bless you!
Hey Brad, I'm a longtime follower of the vlog, though I've never commented here before, but I think it's safe to say that everyone who's made this journey with you appreciates your openness in sharing this loss. It's actually an act of great generosity--for we all have, or will, deal with profound loss in our lives, and it is through the sharing of that we find a way to cope and move on. So thank you, and be well, and carry on as he wanted you to do. All best.
My father recently passed in May here too Brad. I've been watching tons of your videos and absolutely love the growth your channel is getting, it really makes me happy man. Stay strong and keep it up for his sake, we all love what you're doing
Damn bro got me right in the feels I felt so sad hearing your dad passed and hearing that voicemail made me cry like a baby I've watched every video on your channel I'm proud of you man keep kicking ass!
Was watching your vlog on the TV and had to come and comment. Your dad seemed like such a wonderful person and I will tell you this - he was so proud of you and I could hear the pride in his voice shining through when leaving you his voicemail. Your success made him happy and you can hear it. You were blessed to have such a wonderful father but he was also blessed having you as his son. May he rest in peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss Brad. Your Dad sounds like a good guy and it sounds like he was really proud of you. I love his voicemail to you! Love the Vlog man!!!
I got into poker because of you, Brad, and so I owe a lot of thanks to your father as well. Sending you the best and keeping y’all in my thoughts. Love what you do, and like he said, please never stop!
Dude I never comment on nuthin but that brings a tear to my eye. Super cool you had your dads support even after he was against it. Not many people get to see their pops grow old and have them be as proud of you as he was. Super cool. Keep doin what your doing. Jiggities for life! Side note, just moved to Texas and had to explain to a few old folks what the jiggities were and some at the table had zero idea what it was but we. It made our night listening to everyone else rip on them and I’m betting that will never leave poker vocabulary ever. Hope to meet you some day. Thank you for being the favorite poker vlog and thank you to your father for supporting what YOU wanted to do. Good luck my man
Brad - so sorry for your loss - thanks for sharing, not a dry eye in the room here - so awesome your dad telling you to never stop your vlogs, we could feel his pride for his son - and god bless you and you family.
My dad was also the reason I got into poker and I just found out he’s terminal so this hit me really hard. So sorry for your loss, he seems like an amazing dad.
Brad- I watch all your videos and enjoy them so much. I remember a video a while back where your dad surprised you at the table right as you won a big pot and I could tell he was an absolutely amazing man just from how excited he was for you. You are so fortunate to have had a loving, supportive great man like him in your life. Not everyone has that, man. My heart breaks for you. Keep pushing forward man, I'm sure he is still so proud of you every day.
So sorry for your loss Brad.clearly your dad was super proud. Keep living your dream buddy, your dad will be forever by your side. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family from the UK.❤️
It is hard to imagine how you still pulled out some jokes during the vlog in such difficult moments. I lost my dad 5 years ago and I think one of the things that keeps us going is some laughter with the people we love. May God strengthen you and your family Brad.
I lost my Dad in 2019 and I still open up a few voicemails just to hear his voice. I am so sorry to hear about your loss, and at the same time I totally am happy to hear you appreciate the time you had with him! My Dad was my hero and was a special human to me… it is such a beautiful thing to hear you speak about your Dad’s impact on your life. Brad you are not alone in missing your Dad… I know that doesn’t really help, but may I say hearing you express yourself about his passing made me feel even more connected to you and your Blog and I very much hope you can feel the Love and support right back. “Never stop blogging” indeed! I have never had the privilege to come to a meet up but I will be asking to lay a bear hug on you bro. Love what you do and your authenticity is why.
Brad, your jokes and puns never cease to amaze! You and this vlog have come a long way. That being said, I’m sure your dad was so proud of the things you’ve done. Cherish that last voicemail and hold onto it forever. I have my dads last voicemail, and it always brings a tear to my eye. So sorry for you loss! 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing this with us Brad. Great parents are an incredible blessing. A man who will tell you to quit and then tell you to never quit is the kind of supporter you need. I love the vlog and agree wholeheartedly with your dad's assessment for you to never stop.
I'm so sorry for your loss Brad . Your dad gave you a lot of good advice. The fact that you spent a lot of time with him is priceless. I lost my dad while I was away in the war in Vietnam. I was 18 and he was 42. Hearing that your dad passed brought tears to my eyes but I also smiled for the memories that you have of him and he got to watch you go for your dream . Best of luck Brad and always remember that he's sitting right next to you at the table enjoying you become the man that you are. Stay Strong my Friend !
Brad I don’t even play poker, but I still love your content. I love how real you are. Thanks for making me appreciate the people around me even more. Never stop being you.
Sorry for your lost Brad, it shows the love you have for your Dad. It is great to have the memories to continue through this tough time. We all go through it, the lost of a parent, I have lost both and it doesn't get easier. But, we still live on. I enjoy your Blog and your style of play. As your Dad said, don't stop.
I can hear it in your voice how much you love you pops, my prayers are with you and your family. Everyone is here to support you through this difficult time... so much love to you and your dad.
Hey Brad, first-time commenter but this video really hit me hard and I wanted to let you know how much I support you and your vlogs. Your dad seemed like an incredible man. My mom currently has stage 4 cancer and isn't doing too well some days so I really felt the end of this video. Much love always :)
Brad, your blogs got me through a tough time when my dad was sick and ultimately passed. I would listen to the blogs driving back and forth at late hours between LA and Hemet CA. Sorry to hear about your dad. Hang in there. I know how tough it is.
honestly your dad is soo right man ! you are one of a kind . just a all around great guy ! truly love watching you man . your father is proud big time ! he’s watching down and smiling 🙂
Brad! What great respect a have for you. The end of this vlog was truly touching and I am so sorry for your loss! Your dad seemed like such an amazing person and I hope you know he will continue to see all of your vlogs and moments as you continue to grow in your poker career! Keep those memories close to your heart and continue to spread the joy from both yourself and your dad to our community! Love you Brad!
Brad, as someone who loves my dad with all my heart, my heart breaks for your loss. It’s plain for all of us to see that your dad was a wonderful man, father and husband. And that he loved you very much. And that you made him so proud.
You are by far the best at what you do Brad! Thank you for doing all that makes your channel the best. My condolences and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Hi Brad, I’m sorry for your loss. My thoughts go out to you and your family and this difficult time. How wonderful that he got to see your career grow and to support you in the way that he did!
I have been watching your vids since episode 47. I am sorry for your loss and am thankful for the bright light you have given so many of us these many months. Thank you for all you do.
Brad, I cant imagine how hard it was to tell us about your father's passing without losing it. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure he's very proud of you.
Your father would be immensely proud of you not only because of your hard work and success playing poker, but also because of the tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people you help to improve their own poker games. I only started watching your videos in August of 2023 and already my game has substantially improved. Watching your thought process while a hand is in play has helped immensely and changed my poker play dramatically. Keep up the good work.
Bestest Vlog ever Brad… I value my parents more after seeing this… Your Dad is really happy wherever he is after this one.. Keep making him more happy by making more vlogs.. Love from India
Your dad was one of the most inspirational/ supportive and loving father's anyone could ask for brad! It made me call my father after this video and tell him how much i love him and that we got to go see a redwings or lions game soon!
The end of this poker vlog is just fantastic. Your dad felt so wholesome. I'm a proud sub of this poker content channel for years. Keep them vlogs coming and best of luck farming Bradley dollars :)
Wow teary eyed there. You can tell from the voice mail he is incredibly proud of you he seemed a great dad. Will give my dad a hug as you never know what's round the corner.
Oh gosh Brad! Sorry to hear about your Dad. Thank you so much for putting together this vlog, we all really appreciate it. Those last few minutes tribute were lovely - you’ve hit me straight in the feels! What a lovely voicemail message to receive - your Dad was a legend and is looking down at you with such pride. Love to you & your family at this tough time.

I'm sorry to see all this Brad. 33yo man just crying at work, that ending was so heartfelt. We can see the emotion in your eyes at the end. I think it is amazing to have a message like that from your dad. He seemed so supportive and enthusiastic of what you did. I know we're all just randoms on the internet, but I think most of us truly mean it when we say that we're all here supporting you. Thanks for all you do, and take the time you need to deal with this
Man, well said!
This is pretty much exactly what I would have said. Except I’d have to change it to ‘a 41 year old man crying on the couch’
My heartfelt condolences, Brad!
Yeah I was in laying in bed watching and that last 5/6 mins of the video were pretty tough to get through. Coming from a 49 year old guy sooooo there’s that. Props to Brad for holding it together to put out that vlog I’m sure your dad is proud.
Condolences Brad to you and your family from a long time subscriber. Listen to your Dad's advice and continue the vlog and remember the life lessons instilled in you by your parents. This is coming from a 64 year old man who lost his Father 11 years ago from complications from renal kidney failure/dialysis and currently losing his Mother to Alzheimer's. God bless.
I endorse this statement. Gg
Your dad was 6 months younger than I am Brad. Your vlog has caused me to pick up the phone and call my 3 kids to tell them how proud I am of them. We live thousands of miles apart (they are in Australia, I’m in Thailand), but I will get off my butt go see them. Condolences on your loss and thanks for all your videos, especially this one
Wow.......
That ending was one of the most touching things I’ve ever seen in any video. I can tell you and your dad had an amazing relationship, Brad. I’m sure he’s super proud of everything you’ve accomplished, and you continue to inspire both young and old intelligent, and creative minds to get out there and achieve whatever they set their mind to. You are an amazing inspiration, and it’s been phenomenal watching you grow from where you started. I wish the best for you, and I can’t wait to make it to one of the meet up games. I got teary eyed watching because I lost my dad when I was 5. I always wonder what he would’ve said about who I am today, and if he’d be proud or not. Poker isn’t something that everyone loves or agrees with (when it comes to being an integral part of your life). But it’s a passion like no other for some people, me being one of them. Parents can’t be replaced, but it’s awesome that you were able to build so many memories with him. I can’t wait to do that for my future son(s). Have a great one Brad, and keep on crushing the tables for your dad.
One of the most touching videos ever. This one is going to be the biggest video on your channel for sure. The ending video with your dad was absolutely beautiful. His words were so touching! Your dad is absolutely going to watch over you every single step of the way! Play poker for your dad, because there is no doubt , every second you play, he will be smiling, through wins and losses, your dad will absolutely be watching you every single chip you win or lose. What a touching moment, and we truly send our condolences, and thank you for sharing Brad! Keep your head held high, and know, your guardian angel is watching you every step of the way! We love you!
sorry for your loss, looks like your father is the kind of dad and friend every one would love to have. 🙏
Your father’s words brought tears to my eyes. You are a lucky man to have been raised by such an uplifting and honorable father. Wishing you and your family peace during these times.
That voice-mail is such a beautiful reminder of how much you've achieved and how much support you have. We ❤️ you Brad!
Sorry for your loss Brad. Glad to hear the vlogs made your dad proud, and it’s giving you focus and keeping you strong. Take time to decompress then you’ll be back on the circuit stronger than ever! We’ll be ready and waiting to watch and support ❤️🔥
Nothing better than hearing words from your dad that I could feel how proud he was. Yep, 42 year old watching. Crying. I hope I can one day give my 4 year old a message later in life that was as heartfelt as your dad did for you. Much love, Brad Owen.
Brad, you truly are one of a kind. As a dad myself, I could feel the genuine pride in his voice. I’m so very very sorry for your loss. I hope you find the peace you deserve and continue to do what you love. Your videos bring laughter, learning and entertainment to so many of us. Thank you for doing what you do sir.
Still have tears in my eyes from the last few minutes of this vlog. Your dad is a great man. Sending you and your family love and strength Brad.
Brad I'm truly sorry for your loss. Your dad sounded like a great guy, and he obviously loved you a lot. I'm glad he got so much joy from the vlog and you guys could share that together. My eyes are tearing up a little typing this out. Losing someone so close to you is something you'll never really get over, but the pain does recede with time. My dad passed away in the 2017 fires in Sonoma County, he was my best friend, I think about him all the time, as I'm sure you will with your dad. Hold on to all those good memories of him and use it as motivation to keep kicking ass in life. Another great video by the way, still the best channel on youtube. ❤
Derek that was touching my man, made me start crying in my bed
This comment really resonates with me. Thanks for sharing. Those fires, as you may know, really affected my family as well with my sister losing her place and the fires stopping about 120 ft from my parents' place but torching everything north of it in the city. I appreciate your message and I hope you're doing well. Best of luck to you Derek.
What a touching video, comment and response. We’re all with you Brad, and yes we’re random internet followers but we feel like we know you from your incredibly personal and “heart on your sleeve” videos and we’re here supporting you. I love explaining the revenge range shirt and sending people to your channel. Much love and condolences to you and your family, I hope everyone settles back into their lives soon. Your dad is always with you!!!
I’ve never felt compelled to comment on a video (and I watch them all) but the tribute to your dad at the end was amazing. He seemed like he was larger than life and I’m so happy you shared that with us. Rest In Peace Mr Owen.
Jesus. That was amazing. I called my dad straight after this. Thanks for reminding us all how precious it it to be able to do that. I’m sorry for your loss, your dad looked like a legend. Best wishes to you and your entire family x
You’re a great son
Im sorry for your loss Brad. I lost my father tragically and it has been tough. I do my best to move forward and stay positive. I played poker with you once and you were everything i came to expect from your vlogs in a positive way. Your vlogs mean alot to poker and the people watching them. You lift alot of peoples spirits up watching these and assuredly do mine.
Eh..Heard that Brad's Dad was a Trump supporter, you really going to be sad over someone who supports an insurrectionist that tried to destroy Democracy?
Thanks Brad for letting us into your personal life and sharing such amazing memories of you and your family. My sincere condolences to you and your loved ones. Those voice messages are priceless. Your fans are here to support you Brad; you are LOVED dearly.
So sorry to hear the news Brad, you can tell how special your parents are just from those little snippets. Your dad was proud of you.
Brad the reason I watch you is because I connect with you. You are real. You are here for us. Make a tough day better just putting your videos on. Love getting your new video notification. You are genuine. Showing us the good, the bad, ups and down. You’re vulnerable and funny. Please never stop doing what you love and vloging it for us to share your experiences. We love you and appreciate it all. And I’m so sorry for your dad 😢
absolutely
Agreed!
Brad, I'm so sorry about your dad. I lost my dad in September of last year. I was born in Vegas while my dad was stationed at Nellis Air Force base. He took me back to Vegas for my 21st birthday, even bought me my first lap dance at one of the clubs! My dad and I bonded over so many card games, collecting sports cards and even becoming soccer referees. I know it's an over used phrase but I know how you feel. The world can never replace our dads but the best thing we can do is honor their memories and become the best men we can be! Stay strong, you have a community that loves you and is here to support you!
Holy moly Brad.
Watched every minute of this. I’m a few years older than you and a dad of three small kids and the pride bursting from your dad with every word in that message and the smile on his face when he was around you in the video clips - wow. You made your dad proud every single second. He will be missed by all moving forward but he knew just how loved he really was. I hope your mom is doing okay and we will be praying for your family.
I lost my dad in 2016 and I hope I made him as proud as you made your dad 🙂
I'm so sorry for your loss, Brad. Thank you for making and sharing such a touching tribute. You're deserving of all the good that comes your way. You bring others so much joy, and your father saw that in you. Don't ever stop.
Thanks a lot for the comment and the donation James. I put a lot into this video and especially the ending, I'm glad it's resonating with others. When you put yourself out there that much, you never really know what to expect but it's a very very cool thing for me to see all of the support. Thanks again.
That was such a great vlog, Brad, especially the tribute to your dad. You are so lucky to still have that message from him.
My dad, also a Michael, passed away suddenly last year and that ending went straight through my heart.
Keep up the great work!
Takes me back to growing my channel with the support of my mom- like you, I was able to see success while she was still with me.
Supportive parents are AMAZING. So glad you had time with your dad, and so thankful you made this video. Thank you, Brad- love from the Galafam.
You were my favorite youtuber as a kid, and Brad is now my favorite youtuber as an adult. My life has truly come full circle.
So cool to see two people you watch connecting...
Holy moly. I used to watch ALL your clash of clans videos. Super cool to see you here!
That voice message of your dad is priceless. Had me crying out loud. My condolences and thank you for sharing all this in the vlog. The laughs and tears you share makes this the best pokervlog in the world.
What a heartfelt tribute. Very nicely done. I lost my mom a year ago and just watching your video brought it all back to me, but in a good way. You captured all the wonderful things about your father, and it made me remember all the wonderful things about my mom. Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow, never has a RUclips video gotten to my feelings quite like this one.
I’m so sorry for your loss Brad and I’m sending you lots of love and strength. Thank you endlessly for allowing us into your life and sharing not only your poker experiences, but your personal experiences with us. Your dad is right, we love you, we all have your back, and look forward to your next video every week.
You figured out the RUclips views thing solely by being yourself and publishing content that you enjoyed making. Looking forward to the future of your poker adventure and career.
Your dad was right; your followers absolutely love you, and this channel is a phenomenon. I laughed out loud at the Brendan Fraser references, and my eyes filled with tears when I heard your dad’s encouraging words. Thanks for sharing this treasured, personal glimpse at his character and life. Makes me want to be a better, more encouraging dad for my kids.
And regarding the phenomenon: I can show up to a 1-2 game at a random Casino in Arizona on a Thursday night, and when I mention Brad Owen, most of the table smiles and fondly talks about this vlog. Rampage could never.
This was a magnificent tribute to your dad. All your successes will continue to be a tribute to the man who supported you. I hope you take his advice and keep creating as long as you can✊🏼
> Brendan Fraser references
How about the 'white bronco' reference?
Thanks Bradley for sharing. The tribute to your father brought many tears. My father was a type A, always worried I would not be the successful man he thought I could be. In my early 30's I called him as I did from time to time to see how he was getting on, and during one of those calls he said, "you know, I am always happy to hear you your voice as you are always so happy, joyful and cheerful." He repeats this almost every time we speak to this day. Watching this tribute reminds me of how lucky both my father and I are he came to realize the joy of a son being happy in the eyes of his father. Sorry for you loss, Miles.
That's a beautiful story Miles. Thank you for sharing that.
@@BradOwenPoker so was yours. Thanks again.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! That was hands down my favorite vlog from you. I’m so sorry for your loss and also your family’s loss. Trent seems to be a gentle giant and an amazing dad. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of being his son.
Brad you’re the first person I started watching when starting to play poker. Thank you for the vlogs. Your Dad is proud of you and may he Rest In Peace
Hey Brad, I’m a recreation player playing primarily $1-$3 no limit and started watching your vlog a couple months ago. I can’t tell you how much my game has improved in terms of thought process and narrowing opponents hand range and it has shown in my results. I went all the way back to the beginning and started from your first vlog. I love your humour as well as the way you break down the hands. You’ve come so far from that initial vlog and your confidence really shows through today. I’m still about a year behind in terms of catching up to the current vlogs but I just wanted to say how great this has been watching your journey. It really feels like we get to know you on a personal level so I was absolutely gutted at the end of this video finding out about your dad. He’s right. Don’t stop doing these vlogs. They are amazing! And the end of this one is just more proof of that. A fitting tribute to your dad and what he meant to you and his influence on you. Hope you’re keeping well! We need a meet up game in Niagara Falls Canada so I can come out. You’re awesome! Keep it up! Cheers!
Thanks Brad, I just had to explain to my wife why I’m balling like a baby watching poker vlogs on my couch… so sorry for your loss. Sounds like your dad was very proud of you and that is one of the best feelings in life.
Brad, this brought back all the feelings of when I lost my Dad back in college, especially that voicemail at the end. I'll be praying for you and your family during this tough time. Definitely don't stop making the vlogs like your Dad said, it's been and will continue to be an amazing documentation of your journey. You've got such a big heart for your fans, really putting yourself out there to interact with as many of your fanbase as possible which most RUclipsrs find especially challenging, and I'm sure you get that heart from your Dad. I think the worst part of losing someone you care about is that the world keeps moving onward while you're mourning, but know that we, your followers, support and care about you! Stay strong buddy.
Great comment, 100% agree.
I would add that Brad also got that heart from his mom. Just look at the snippets in his vlogs, she is a great character in his life, too.
I'm so sorry for your loss man, but your father was right don't ever stop these vlogs.
You've definitely inspired me to get back into playing after a pretty long hiatus.
That ending was heartbreaking but thank-you for sharing those memories with all of us and again my condolences to you and your family 🙏
So brave of you to film yourself telling us this news. So sorry for your loss Brad, I will pray for your family to have comfort during this difficult time. From the clips we saw, your dad always had a big smile on his face….that’s cause of you.
Never commented before Brad. I just love watching you young men grind. When my dad pass I know now why they named it the wailing wall. Did not know it was in myself to have this kind of grief. May you continue to shine. We have been watching from the very early years. I can not tell how much I have enjoyed your passion for poker. The truth is I do not play poker. What I love and do understand is the journey. Now that I'm about to retire even more so. Please don't stop your channel! Love SueLee and Roggiedale
Wow. I'm so sorry to hear about your father's passing. It was powerful to see your emotions In fact, I'm an emotional wreck through the whole end of this. The voicemail, the story of his life and how he went from not supporting you, to telling you to never stop. That's so powerful. I am happy to hear that he absolutely loved the vlogs and meeting everyone, and it proves there is something to this community and somethin about you that is just absolutely magnetic. Thanks for the video, I'm sorry I missed it when it came out, I was having my surgery. But nothing I could lose would mean more to me than losing my dad. And so coming out and sharing this was a wonderful memorial for him and thanks for bringing us along on the ride! Thanks for all your hard work, and helping us all learn so much more about poker and fall in love with the game!
PS: the double quads was unreal, but that wasn't anywhere near the best part of this vid.
I keep trying to watch other poker vlogs but nobody does it like Brad. He's the GOAT
first time and (probably) last time I'll cry watching a youtube video. So sorry for your loss Brad. Here to tell you we all love the message your dad shared with you! You've had the biggest positive impact on poker of anyone I can think of, and it's awesome that your dad came around to understand that.
You have videos and photos of your father and family together that will last your lifetime. You can always look back at those memories. Most ppl don’t have those kinds of videos, photos etc. I wish I had those kinds videos of my father before he past. My deepest condolences. This should teach ppl to capture the moments with their parents, kids, and family. Don’t blink, before you know it, everything is gone.
Super sorry for your loss :( I pray that you take all the time you need, and you know we support you through this hard time! Praying for you and your family! ❤️
Sorry for your loss brother. Your dad seems like a legend. You can tell how proud he is of the vlog, keep it up
Beautiful tribute to the OG Dad Owen. It is incredibly clear that he was so proud of you and loved you so so so much. Lots of love to you and your family, Brad. ❤️
Brad I’m so so sorry man, I’ll never forget that time when your dad came to the poker room at the Graton and gave you a thumbs up after you won that huge pot. Definitely my favorite vlog. Take care man and my heart goes out to you during this difficult time.
Sorry for the loss of your father, Brad. We love you, brother. Great time for a vlog. We miss your videos but we understand family first. Thank you for doing all you can to still make us, your viewers, a priority.
Adding to this, the part of your dad talking made me cry man. My dad and I have not talked to each other in over a year. This made me reach out. Thank you. Thank you for this.
So sorry for your loss. I can tell even through those few clips, that your Dad was the kind of man that made sure you knew he loved you. My mom was that way too and I'm glad that you had such a big, kind, loving father. Never forget that the greatest blessing you ever got was that he was your Dad. Don't be sad that he's now gone, rejoice that you had him for as long as you did and that so much of him lives in you every single day.
What wonderful words from your father, he was most obviously a very special man. Keep doing what you are doing Brad, you inspire not only us as poker players, but as fellow humans. Very sorry for your loss. A hug from Portugal man.
Amazing tribute to your dad. He raised one of the good guys much like himself. I have to agree with him, never slow, stop the vlog. Share your gift with others. Thank you Brad. My condolences to you and your family.
Brad, that was an amazing video and a fitting tribute to your dad. He comes across as a genuinely brilliant guy and it must be heartening for you to know how proud he was of you. We've only interacted briefly but I can vouch for the fact that his faith wasn't misplaced at all, keep up the good work and congrats on all your success.
My father is currently going through treatment for cancer, so this really hit home for me. I only hope that he's as proud of me as your dad was of you.
Wow, that message from your dad at the end got me. What a treasure that you got that and it's so cool that he was such a vocal supporter at the end. And he's right - you are very talented, both at poker and the vlog. You and Andrew have absolutely paved the way for a new generation of poker and the way you weave in personal life with solid poker content is impressive. I'm in Tampa so hope to see you at my home casino at the end of August. God bless!
Lovely message at the end… condolences and keep making him proud 💕
I’m so sorry for your loss , what a lovely, moving tribute that you know he would have loved. Keep being awesome and take solace from the fact you clearly made your dad so proud.
This vlog really hit home for me. That voice-mail from your Dad is priceless. I think those are the types of words every son wants to hear from their father. I lost my Dad 4 years ago, and this video was cathartic. This also made me really think about how often I should let my own sons know how I feel about them. I shared this video with my wife who has no interest in poker, but she also really enjoyed watching it. Your heart, humor, depth, and vulnerability come through and are the reason you have truly separated yourself from all other poker vlogs. Thank you for putting yourself out there. I'll never stop watching.
It’s amazing how we have to defy our parents to follow our dreams and in the end they respect us for it. Sorry for your loss. He raised a good man and ultimately I’m sure that was his dream.
I'm so sorry for you Brad, your Dad sounds like an absolutely amazing guy. This hit me hard man! Reminds me of my mum, I miss her so so much. Part of life is about learning to take the hits and keep getting back up. It's like a game of poker and no matter what happens, no matter how many beats you take, the ride is never over. Even if your dad has departed, he hasn't gone. He'll live on in your memories, and now in everyone else's too. Thanks for sharing some of the better moments you captured with him. Take care of yourself dude
Brad my heart goes out to you man. Just remember all of the good times you two shared over the years. Keep working hard and you’ll get through this time in your life. You earned all of the success you’ve had and I’m sure your dad was extremely proud of you and that was a great tribute you added at the end!
I hope I can be an ounce of an inspiration to my kids one day as your dad was to you. Such an emotional heartfelt ending and I’m sure your dad will always be in your heart and on the felt with you forever
We love you Brad!
Thanks for sharing so much, Brad. I was moved by your tribute, and can appreciate your close relationship with your dad, and how you’re feeling now. I lost my father when I was 29, and still think of him every day at the age of 51. We are blessed to have had these caring, wonderful men in our lives. I hope you take time to take care of yourself - the temptation can be to burn the candle at both ends, please look after your health. Thanks again
The most amazing and loving integration of family love and poker that I’ve ever seen ant poker blogs.
Your father seemed a true man and a loving father. Thank you Brad for sharing something so personal and caring. Your story tells us all that a loving family is winning with the nuts. God bless you!
Hey Brad, I'm a longtime follower of the vlog, though I've never commented here before, but I think it's safe to say that everyone who's made this journey with you appreciates your openness in sharing this loss. It's actually an act of great generosity--for we all have, or will, deal with profound loss in our lives, and it is through the sharing of that we find a way to cope and move on. So thank you, and be well, and carry on as he wanted you to do. All best.
My father recently passed in May here too Brad. I've been watching tons of your videos and absolutely love the growth your channel is getting, it really makes me happy man. Stay strong and keep it up for his sake, we all love what you're doing
Aw Brad. I'm so sorry to hear this. What a heart-felt tribute to your dad. He sounds like a great guy. Hang in there brother!
Damn bro got me right in the feels I felt so sad hearing your dad passed and hearing that voicemail made me cry like a baby I've watched every video on your channel I'm proud of you man keep kicking ass!
Was watching your vlog on the TV and had to come and comment. Your dad seemed like such a wonderful person and I will tell you this - he was so proud of you and I could hear the pride in his voice shining through when leaving you his voicemail. Your success made him happy and you can hear it. You were blessed to have such a wonderful father but he was also blessed having you as his son. May he rest in peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss Brad. Your Dad sounds like a good guy and it sounds like he was really proud of you. I love his voicemail to you! Love the Vlog man!!!
I got into poker because of you, Brad, and so I owe a lot of thanks to your father as well. Sending you the best and keeping y’all in my thoughts. Love what you do, and like he said, please never stop!
Dude I never comment on nuthin but that brings a tear to my eye. Super cool you had your dads support even after he was against it. Not many people get to see their pops grow old and have them be as proud of you as he was. Super cool. Keep doin what your doing. Jiggities for life! Side note, just moved to Texas and had to explain to a few old folks what the jiggities were and some at the table had zero idea what it was but we. It made our night listening to everyone else rip on them and I’m betting that will never leave poker vocabulary ever. Hope to meet you some day. Thank you for being the favorite poker vlog and thank you to your father for supporting what YOU wanted to do. Good luck my man
Brad - so sorry for your loss - thanks for sharing, not a dry eye in the room here - so awesome your dad telling you to never stop your vlogs, we could feel his pride for his son - and god bless you and you family.
My dad was also the reason I got into poker and I just found out he’s terminal so this hit me really hard. So sorry for your loss, he seems like an amazing dad.
Brad- I watch all your videos and enjoy them so much. I remember a video a while back where your dad surprised you at the table right as you won a big pot and I could tell he was an absolutely amazing man just from how excited he was for you. You are so fortunate to have had a loving, supportive great man like him in your life. Not everyone has that, man. My heart breaks for you. Keep pushing forward man, I'm sure he is still so proud of you every day.
So sorry for your loss Brad.clearly your dad was super proud. Keep living your dream buddy, your dad will be forever by your side. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family from the UK.❤️
It is hard to imagine how you still pulled out some jokes during the vlog in such difficult moments. I lost my dad 5 years ago and I think one of the things that keeps us going is some laughter with the people we love. May God strengthen you and your family Brad.
I lost my Dad in 2019 and I still open up a few voicemails just to hear his voice. I am so sorry to hear about your loss, and at the same time I totally am happy to hear you appreciate the time you had with him! My Dad was my hero and was a special human to me… it is such a beautiful thing to hear you speak about your Dad’s impact on your life. Brad you are not alone in missing your Dad… I know that doesn’t really help, but may I say hearing you express yourself about his passing made me feel even more connected to you and your Blog and I very much hope you can feel the Love and support right back.
“Never stop blogging” indeed! I have never had the privilege to come to a meet up but I will be asking to lay a bear hug on you bro.
Love what you do and your authenticity is why.
Brad, your jokes and puns never cease to amaze! You and this vlog have come a long way. That being said, I’m sure your dad was so proud of the things you’ve done. Cherish that last voicemail and hold onto it forever. I have my dads last voicemail, and it always brings a tear to my eye. So sorry for you loss! 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing this with us Brad. Great parents are an incredible blessing. A man who will tell you to quit and then tell you to never quit is the kind of supporter you need. I love the vlog and agree wholeheartedly with your dad's assessment for you to never stop.
I'm so sorry for your loss Brad . Your dad gave you a lot of good advice. The fact that you spent a lot of time with him is priceless.
I lost my dad while I was away in the war in Vietnam. I was 18 and he was 42. Hearing that your dad passed brought tears to my eyes but I also smiled for the memories that you have of him and he got to watch you go for your dream . Best of luck Brad and always remember that he's sitting right next to you at the table enjoying you become the man that you are. Stay Strong my Friend !
Brad.....I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. Condolences for you and your family. Stay strong and continue to make him proud.
Brad I don’t even play poker, but I still love your content. I love how real you are. Thanks for making me appreciate the people around me even more. Never stop being you.
Sorry for your lost Brad, it shows the love you have for your Dad. It is great to have the memories to continue through this tough time. We all go through it, the lost of a parent, I have lost both and it doesn't get easier. But, we still live on. I enjoy your Blog and your style of play.
As your Dad said, don't stop.
Your old man seems like a great person. Sorry for your loss Brad, you'll keep him proud!
Really sorry for your loss Brad, cant imagine what it must feel like. Stay strong. My condolences
I can hear it in your voice how much you love you pops, my prayers are with you and your family. Everyone is here to support you through this difficult time... so much love to you and your dad.
Hey Brad, first-time commenter but this video really hit me hard and I wanted to let you know how much I support you and your vlogs. Your dad seemed like an incredible man. My mom currently has stage 4 cancer and isn't doing too well some days so I really felt the end of this video. Much love always :)
Brad, your blogs got me through a tough time when my dad was sick and ultimately passed. I would listen to the blogs driving back and forth at late hours between LA and Hemet CA. Sorry to hear about your dad. Hang in there. I know how tough it is.
That Hemet to LA drive is brutal 🤣 Railroad Canyon is no fun lol
honestly your dad is soo right man ! you are one of a kind . just a all around great guy ! truly love watching you man . your father is proud big time ! he’s watching down and smiling 🙂
Brad! What great respect a have for you. The end of this vlog was truly touching and I am so sorry for your loss! Your dad seemed like such an amazing person and I hope you know he will continue to see all of your vlogs and moments as you continue to grow in your poker career! Keep those memories close to your heart and continue to spread the joy from both yourself and your dad to our community! Love you Brad!
Brad, that ending was better than any big score you've shown us. What a great, supportive family.
Brad, as someone who loves my dad with all my heart, my heart breaks for your loss. It’s plain for all of us to see that your dad was a wonderful man, father and husband. And that he loved you very much. And that you made him so proud.
You are by far the best at what you do Brad! Thank you for doing all that makes your channel the best. My condolences and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Hi Brad, I’m sorry for your loss. My thoughts go out to you and your family and this difficult time. How wonderful that he got to see your career grow and to support you in the way that he did!
I have been watching your vids since episode 47. I am sorry for your loss and am thankful for the bright light you have given so many of us these many months. Thank you for all you do.
Brad, I cant imagine how hard it was to tell us about your father's passing without losing it. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure he's very proud of you.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Brad, your dad seemed like a very lovely person. All my very best from New Zealand.
Your father would be immensely proud of you not only because of your hard work and success playing poker, but also because of the tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people you help to improve their own poker games. I only started watching your videos in August of 2023 and already my game has substantially improved. Watching your thought process while a hand is in play has helped immensely and changed my poker play dramatically. Keep up the good work.
So sorry for your loss Brad, your Dad was 100% right, your vlogs are amazing and you should never stop doing them!
Bestest Vlog ever Brad… I value my parents more after seeing this… Your Dad is really happy wherever he is after this one.. Keep making him more happy by making more vlogs.. Love from India
Your dad was one of the most inspirational/ supportive and loving father's anyone could ask for brad! It made me call my father after this video and tell him how much i love him and that we got to go see a redwings or lions game soon!
Brad I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of your family.
The end of this poker vlog is just fantastic. Your dad felt so wholesome. I'm a proud sub of this poker content channel for years. Keep them vlogs coming and best of luck farming Bradley dollars :)
I was not ready for that, but as a dad I loved it.
Wow teary eyed there. You can tell from the voice mail he is incredibly proud of you he seemed a great dad. Will give my dad a hug as you never know what's round the corner.
Oh gosh Brad! Sorry to hear about your Dad. Thank you so much for putting together this vlog, we all really appreciate it.
Those last few minutes tribute were lovely - you’ve hit me straight in the feels! What a lovely voicemail message to receive - your Dad was a legend and is looking down at you with such pride.
Love to you & your family at this tough time.
