You are good. Your channel is more like a corner store. Sometimes you aren't open, sometimes you don't smile but you always have what I came in for. Bless you, bless your ex, may the tomorrows you have bring you all you need to grow.
There's a lot in this video I needed to hear when it comes to struggling with the mental and emotional hardships of life. I really like the analogy used when it comes to staying in the game. It's also incredibly relieving to hear someone explain the perspective of trolls who ramp up the hate when you're most vulnerable or when you're succeeding and have things they want and feel you don't deserve. Much encouragement and love to anyone who's currently struggling, broken and beaten by the pain life throws our way. I love this channel.
260 likes for this innocuous comment. Shame on you idiots. He needs to deal with his pain med situation. Yes, he needed them for a long while, but at 6:50, he is making excuses to keep being addicted. I know. I've been there.
Dr. PhillingKidsWithDrugs, I seen the videos. You filled young people with addiction, lots of heavy drugs in the green room of your show, so when they come on stage, it's easier for you to talk shit about them, like you're some type of Addiction God. I run shit here, you just live here....
Hey Boogie. I met an elderly couple today in the cancer ward. The husband was a WW2 veteran who survived Pearl Harbor. They told me they met in 1950 on a blind date her friend set up. She wasn't interested in dating anyone, but obliged her friend and went anyways. 5 days later, they got MARRIED. 67 years later, I was lucky enough to hear their story. What I took away from it is keep your options open, even if you're focusing on yourself, because sometimes all it takes is one chance encounter like that. Also, fuck cancer.
Well said, I've watch many good people go down the drain from pain meds and eventually overdose and die. My kids are without a mother due to overdose. It can and will catch even the most careful person, and ruin them if they fall victim to the addiction. It controls people, changes them. Be safe Boogie we are all proud of you and we all wish you the best Sir.
Sometimes you have no choice about taking pain meds. There are certain situations whereby even the threat of being addicted is secondary to the issues that come from severe pain and the health consequences from that. Having spent over 9 years dealing with addicts - alcoholics, heroin and crack users, and a tenant addicted to huffing aerosols - I am no stranger to about every aspect of addiction. I am now in the "yeah, but I have to take opioids just to manage the day to day living ... stage 4 esophageal cancer that's in my liver and lungs. Without the pills, I'm not able to live anything approaching "normal" (except the 4 days during and after chemo) and the stress from the pain puts more acid re-flux pressure on the tumors in my esophagus and upper stomach. Keeping all that under control requires both slow acting morphine and fast oxycodone. I'm hoping that the continued improvements I'm currently getting from chemo will eventually eliminate the need but until then I'm stuck with what is working. Thankfully I've managed to maintain the same daily doses for a couple months so I'm hopeful that I'm doing things the right way. Addiction will HOPEFULLY be a concern later when its time to stop taking the meds.
I want to just say that I find you inspiring because I too was dealt the losing hand from a loser deck. I don't watch all of your videos, but the ones where you have bared your soul, and what you are going througj, give me hope to keep working on me. I am 35 this year, and find it easier and easier to choose myself, through watching you face hardship, and pick yourself back up and improve. I wish you all the best in your journey, and cannot thank you enough for what you do, even if you don't see it. I will be watching out for a time that I can meet up and thank you in person.
'I was born owing a lifetime of misery - and I've paid that life time of misery and now i am looking forward to a little joy' if that's not inspiring I don't know what is
i don't think it's cringe worthy. Rather i think it is beautiful and honest and open. Words from someone who has clearly spent a lot of time thinking about that sentence.
When I got divorced I thought I would be "happily" single for the rest of my life. Fast forward 10+ years and I'm happily remarried. I know it hurts right now and it might at times feel like a huge door was slammed in your face, but once you turn around you'll see you've got a world of opportunities at your back. You can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone you want now without having to worry about what your wife wants. It's sad that she didn't want to be there with you for the ride but when you are ready to bring someone else in again, that person will be more in line with the new you. And it's the same for her. Just keep focusing on building Steve.
Jonathan Jacobs man let that pain go she just let him know there's life after divorce and there is. it's ok people come and go in life you have to be strong
You ARE inspiring Boogie. It saddens me to know that some bitter people say those cruel things to you. Maybe they are only coping with their own pain. It cannot be easy, but I hope you can focus more on the good you've done for the ones who can see you as an inspiration. To me, you seem indomitable, and what you've become, in spite of and in congruence with what you've endured and endure, helps me believe just more in the potential goodness, tenacity, and courage of others and especially myself. I cannot overstate how much that means to me these days. So if you ever happen to read this, then thank you, for being what, and who you are.
I've been wrestling with why people tear down positivity myself recently... I think that some people either find it troubling because it challenges them to wake up and stop sleepwalking through life and deal with things in a way that requires that they take on some hard battles that they don't want to face, or maybe it's because it challenges their worldview of everything being a hierarchy where some people are above other people and they feel like they have pecked their way to a certain point in the order and if someone they normally could peck down ends up doing better than them, they feel the need to attack and "fix" the "unfair" situation. Either way, I feel like being emotionally aware and recognizing the equal status of all people is where their focus needs to be redirected. Which is exactly what your rambling series does! So keep up the good work!!! But that would explain why they're gunning for you.
You're a cancer to gaming and you're part of the reason the new generation of gamers does nothing but complain about everything gaming related instead of just enjoying games. As someone that grew up in the NES / Sega era I know how fortunate gamers are today but they don't appreciate what they have because they see people like you telling them how bad they have it. Just stop making videos so the gaming community can get back to having fun and not acting like angry little atheists that weren't popular in high school.
I love you Boogie and I don’t even know you Thank you for being a wonderful role model Showing everyone that we aren’t limited by the hand that we were dealt and that anyone can change their lives for the better when they decide. I never comment but I always take great value from your videos. You are an inspiration Don’t let anyone bring you down. Thank you very much for being you
Bright Insight duuuuuuude I love your channel wtf?!?! I just found you a week ago and I have watched a bunch of videos this is insane I just came back to check this comment for some reason and you commented on it Woooooooow the universe is crazy
Hey Buggie. My seven-year-old son told me you have Pokémon in the background of your video. I am a blind subscriber. I enjoy listening to your stories. Thank you for sharing. You made my son's day when he saw your Pokémon in the background.
ThronedPenguin67 If you go to his channel, it's very obvious that he is telling the truth. It's likely that someone helps him navigate and type what he wants to say.
anyone who thinks boogie is anything less then awe inspiring is crazy, the amount of empathy u gush out with every word u speak is astounding... touching my soul and making me feel like i have an army of loners behind me, just because i understand who u are and how u feel through these videos. its given me the strength to try to achieve my dreams when before i had given up on my aspirations until i was bombarded with these sentiments from youtubers like you and matpat and pewds... the inspiration i've gained through you all and others, its more then i could have ever asked for Steven... thank you, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
What a comment section, what a RUclipsr, this channel has become something much more than a shirtless Francis yelling about his Mountain Dew, it has become a place where a lot of people come to get inspiration
I am not a gamer. I found your channel after watching obese to beast. I continued watch no because of your perspective on life, your determination and dedication to do what you believe is best for you with your health, surgery etc. I see comments from trolls on other sites as well. The jealousy is evident and most of the readers and viewers know where it comes from. Lets face it, It’s easier to pick on other people than change what’s wrong when we look in the mirror. Keep it up. Also to note, I can see more and more of your chair each time you are on. You are definitely downsizing. Well done. Keep it up. Your level of happiness and pride in yourself is evident as it should be.
I haven’t been to your streams in a while. Mostly because of time, but I always smile when I see a video uploaded from you. If it’s early in the morning and I’m going to work, I’ll just put your video on speaker and listen to you talk whether it’s regarding video game news, your rambling videos, or commentary on a particular news story. I just like tuning in a hearing your opinion on certain things because you’re always so classy about them and you approach it with careful fluidity. It’s very admirable :)
Tomorrow is valentines. The timing must be awkward. But on a more sincere note, thanks again for such an inspiring video, listening to you really does feel like listening to a friend. I'm really happy to see that no matter how many times you're brought down, you keep your head up and keep pushing. Glad to hear you're the best you've ever been. God bless you :)
sorry you're having to deal with all that crap and all the haters. I think people fall into two groups - those who get joy from seeing someone else doing something awesome with their lives, and those who get triggered by someone else doing something they can't, or someone who is an easy target to lash out at. It's very easy to hide behind the internet and say nasty things about people you don't know. I'm rooting for you though! There's a word I really love: 'Firgun' - the simple, unselfish joy that something good has happened, or might happen, to someone else.
i actually kinda have pity for a lot of "haters" even though a lot those type of people would never admit it alot of them have tons of issues of their own and like you said they get some kind of weird pleasure from talking down/talking shit about people. I personally don't really understand that.. I mean my life kinda sucks to be honest but I don't hate anyone or blame anyone else for my problems or any of that.
Bro you are the most inspiring, real, and heart-warming in the nitty gritty way, person that I’ve ever met. Even though you are a person I only know through the internet, I still feel like I can say that I’ve “met” you. That’s the kind of impact you’ve had on my life and I’m sure other people’s as well. Thanks for being who you are Boogie, I appreciate and love you.
Ive been occasionally checking into your channel once a week ish for the past year and I'm glad to see how far you've come. Since then I've kinda fallen into a slump of my own and I don't have the motivation or energy to turn anything around.. It's inspiring to see someone who is objectively worse off than I am, pull themselves out of their situation and turn things around.
Out from the ashes grow the roses! God Bless you Boogie for never giving up and constantly pushing forward! I suppose if I could go back in time to do things over, the only thing I would do is look for the things I missed having been so consumed with "me" cause I know I missed a lot of things the world was trying to show me
You can do it bud! I’m recovering from 10 years of drinking. I got 6 months sober. Gotta quit smoking now, and work on my physical and mental health. I have depression and anxiety. I have called this my healing year. Focusing on myself. Stay strong Brother! You got this!
Just in case you're searching for a positive comment, here it is. You're a great guy, Boogie, and you're doing brilliantly. Wishing you good times ahead; you deserve them x
I don't know why other people like you, but I like you because you are more humane and "flawed", but very honest and sincerely; never too proud to admit you were wrong and you give pretty decent advice due to personal experiences. I aint the one to watch people for their looks, because I got plenty other media genres and platforms to be on if I wanted fake-perfect "celebrities" to look at or listen to. I like the people that have something thoughtful and interesting to add to this world, regardless of their looks, culture, language, etc. I also like people to challange my opinions and reality, if they are able to explain their reasoning to me. Thus I watch (people like) you.
One door closes...Another door OPENS!! CONGRATULATIONS BOOGIE! You have grown! YOU ARE ENOUGH! Never believe anything else! Always in my thoughts and prayers. You are strong enough to move on. Bless your heart and bless your mind. All the good to you!
I make sure to watch all of your videos so sometimes I'm behind as I know this video is a few days old; nonetheless, I want you to know that I consider you to be a very sincere and kind person and I always enjoy hearing your input and thought on many topics. I am not surprised to see that you manage to remain humble on some of the negative comments even though it personally upsets me to see that happen to you. For this, my level of respect towards you has only increased. You have a huge fan base for a reason. We love you too.
Boogie I am a long time fan and have watched many, many videos of yours. I believe this is my first ever RUclips comment and i want to use it to say that you and your videos have helped me. I am currently going through a divorce that I don't want. My wife is leaving me for the man she had an affair with. I have been a wreck for the last month or so. But the first step I took to help get over it and move forward was to use your audible link and download the book you recommended The subtle art of not giving a fuck. The book opened my eyes about myself and the situation I was in. I am now dealing with this better than I could have without. You are an inspiration, showing that anyone can do want they want, they just have to put effort in. Thank you and keep the content coming
imthejanitor It is going to be okay! I feel fucking sorry for you man. Life can suck sometimes. Get trough this! Maybe lisen to the song Parade of Lights - Undefeatable. If it is not your sound doesn't matter since the lyrics are so cool!
Can't say i've been a long fan, if I remember correctly I subbed to you like 5 months ago but well, just wanted to wish you the best and its glad to see that you are still going strong, can't imagine to go through something like this. Hopefully the good content will keep coming, cheers!
Wow.. I'm so glad I watched this. Me and mine just ended a 7 year long relationship on Sunday. We both had the right attitude about it, it's sad but we both knew it was for the best and I think the key was finishing it BEFORE it turned awful as we hear in so many stories.. Everything you're saying speaks to me. I feel the same emotions, I feel the same. It makes me feel good, it makes me feel better. This is happening all the time, and it's sad, but I'm not alone. And you're right. We're here because of what we've been through. I began my relationship at one of my lowest points, and I've ended it at one of the highest. I couldn't have made it without him and without changing as I did. Perspective is important. Thank you. I would say more but.. Well my mind is tired as can be expected. Just thank you, and I wish you all the best.
If someone can't see the beauty in you, it's because they can't see the beauty in themselves. Nobody is "perfect," but we're all perfectly us. I love when you speak from the heart. It's not just healing for you, but for all of us!
Internet Warriors I got a tooth pulled and they put me on hydrocodone 7.5s and man they made me feel so good after thanking half the bottle I noticed I was taking them because not of the pain but because I wanted to stay feeling that way so I got a coffee can put the pills in it then filled it up with just old scrap food and other nasty stuff and put it in the trash. I still to this day miss the feeling they gave me and it's been over a year! SMH I knew I had to get rid of the rest because I knew if I kept taking them and finished the bottle I would want more and more.
Michael Mcintosh you did the right thing! It's true, it makes you feel good and improves performance even, but the crash, withdrawals, money lost, friends and family alienated, jobs lost, classes failed... It's just not worth it. No one can feel great all the time, or else the bad times will seem so very bad. We need a stable mix of ups and downs to give us a real perspective on life. But I guarantee if you exercise and eat right you'll find that you have more ups than downs. And that's ok, because it's all natural. Glad to hear you realized what few do, and stopped before it was to late. Take care!
Michael Mcintosh Good idea. The way some dentists and doctors prescribe those pills, it's really scary. They should only be prescribed for certain carefully-screened patients for whom nothing else works. Giving them out cavalierly is exactly why there's an opioid epidemic now.
You've inspired me to become more aware of my health and try to become more physically fit (I haven't been my whole life). So I'm leaving a positive comment to say thank you, and you rock!
Boogie, take the time you need when you need it. Also I’m glad to hear that you are working out physically, but also working on your mind. Also, you are looking healthier and healthier every time I see your new upload! Keep at it bud. We support you. It might be good for you to check in with a pain management and rehabilitation doctor. Also for your knee, look into a doctor that uses a pharmacy (compounding most likely) that makes a topical pain cream. Make sure it has lidocaine in it, it’s done wonders for my aches and pains, as well as my moms nerve damage pain. The cream will help numb the area and relieve the pain, but also most of those creams have compounds that have qualities which will help your muscles, joints, and nerves repair. The best part is it is non addictive like most opioids. You may be especially susceptible to addiction, with your issues you suffer from mentally. I just want you to continue on this path of self improvement because your self improvement helps many of us feel better too, through motivation. I wish you all the best!
Dude, don't worry about us, you need to worry about yourself right now, especially after going through something like this. We will be waiting, enjoy yourself man :)
Dear Boogie, I Love you so much. It makes me happy when I see you happy! And I hurt when I see you hurt. You were put here for something big, and something beautiful. I know because, nobody I know in my life speaks from their soul as you do. Nobody I know makes me feel like I can relate to them as you make me feel I can with you. If anyone on this earth is a true angel, its you sir. I've been watching your video's since before you were famous. Some small clip of you doing a bunch of voice impressions. My first though was, this goofy crackpot is hilarious. One of the voices you did was Meatwad I think, and another was of a little kid voice singing "over the mountain, covered with cheeeeeze"... I've been busy with my whole life thing too recently, so over the years I've poked in about once a month to catch up on you. And It makes me so proud and so happy to see what you've done for yourself. You were put on this earth to give hope and save lives, sir. Those that recognize that in you are the ones that matter. They are the ones that have great love for you. To everyone else that doesn't see that, you're just an easy target, so forgive them and let yourself keep being happy
You are a big inspiration Boogie. I'm a long time fan and I want to thank you for the star wars old republic copy you gave away years ago. I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time right now. Love from Norway.
I just started watching your channel. You are so down to earth and interesting, I feel like I could listen to you for hours because you talk about subjects that resonate with the issues that I have and a lot of us have. Just letting you know that you're an inspiring and comforting voice to a lot of your viewers so thank you.
I feel you Boogie. On July 21st last year, my longest relationship of 2 years ended on the 2 year anniversary. I found out two months later that she was cheating on me and that she was looking for men for months before the breakup. It still devastates me. I have my good days where I'm just top dog, and then my bad days where I feel more like a dog begging for attention and care because I know I wouldn't receive it otherwise. There's a place out there for both of us...
Hey man, you don't need to apologize for missing out on things. I mostly watch here on RUclips since the stuff on Twitch can sometimes be a bit much, but that's just me. I've always supported you every step of the way and am a huge fan. But, as I said, you do NOT need to apologize. I know and understand that you have your own life and sometimes you just need to take a step back for a day or two to get things in order. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I will say, I am sorry the marriage didn't quite work out, but at least you guys stayed friends. That doesn't normally happen unfortunately. So, you still have that. In regards to the naysayers, they will always be there trying to bring you down. I think that they might just be getting a bit frustrated that you are managing to succeed at overcoming the obstacles they never thought or hoped you would overcome simply because they cannot overcome their own or they are just sad people looking for someone else to belittle because reasons. I never understood why people do that, so I just take a simple view that all people are inherently distrustful and hurtful until I meet them and they prove me wrong. I expect to be proven wrong most of the time, and hate it when I am proven right. But, there ain't much you can do except just ignore them and focus on the folks that have your back. Just keep in mind that I will always be here to watch your videos. I also watch a lot of other things on RUclips as well just like most folks. So a gap in your filming schedule is no issue for me really. But, I will come here to watch your content as frequently as I can when I see new stuff uploaded. Have a good year man, stay as sane as possible, stay safe, and God bless.
LSSG Broly I don't think any of that, if true, justifies the sort of negative comments he mentioned. Just makes you as bad as what you're trying to abuse.
LSSG Broly LSSG Broly 😂😂 calm down. I said "if" because I haven't seen any of that, so can't say whether it's true or not. Sorry I'm not taking the word of a commentator online I don't know. And you didn't try to prove "facts" or anything of the sort. You just said things, that isn't proof or fact. If I see boogie admit to abusing his wife, then fair enough, I won't watch him anymore. Still doesn't justify anyone else's behaviour.
You're strong man. We are all behind you and you have me and millions of people here for you. Thank you for all you do. Youve helped me more than anything
I think that no one is entitled to anything. I've thought that it has to be earned. The years of pain and the pain that still persists is proof that we worked to tried to earn something. After years of incredible pain I think you have earned this, Boogie. I've watched you on and off and it always seems like you're facing one trial or another but you pull through. I your battle scars are places where you could have died but instead you kept fighting even when the odds were against you. Remember that you have suffered so that you can be grateful in every moment without pain. Strength and wisdom to you. Your story still has many chapters that are yet to be written. You now have the pen and blood from your wounds in the past is your ink.
I know why you’re inspiring. It’s really not that difficult. Through all your hardships and whatever happened to end your marriage, it didn’t kill your spirit or drive for spreading positivity and showing up here for your fans. I know plenty of people that had it easier that just gave up on life. Psychologically speaking, you’re not showing any other sign of grief than acceptance. We all have bad days when reacting to our problems, but your good days (like this day) are head-turning. People who have it better, can’t believe your optimism and it’s frustrating to them with no other outlet than the comments section.
Hey Boogie, Thank you for these videos. And if anyone is wondering who is inspired by you, people like me are. I am a 47 year old divorcée, with so many mental health issues I need a book to fit them all in, and I am just starting my 12 week pre-op liquid diet. Everyone has issues. No one is perfect - and I can guarantee that the trolls are far from perfect. If they were happy, they wouldn’t be leaving crappie downer comments because they’d have better things to do. Keep your head held high! Peace ✌🏻 Tracy 🇨🇦
You really inspire me to follow through with my goals man hearing about all the crap you've struggled through. Clawing your way to where you are today gives me hope for my fucked up brain, you're a good man, keep up the great work!
Boogie, you're a great guy. Seriously, being so open and vulnerable in front of people is a very underrated talent, which doesn't surprise me because most people struggle with the difficult introspection and confrontations that come with that. Stay strong and be your ambitious yet imperfect self. That's what inspires me.
I have been a fan for years. I have suffered the same as you. I am currently at 500 pounds. I am 6 foot 5 and 53 years old. I am in and out of the hospital with edema and cellulitus. They keep telling me I do have congested heart failure, and then I do not have CHF. I am always in pain and I have also have been told I will never survive the surgery. I look up to you, and I am still searching. Please know there are some of us out here who still suffers...it could be worse, you could be stuck where I am. Looks good on you Boogie!
I don’t usually comment - but truly - you have inspired me, you have encouraged me - your perseverance, your ability to find the reason to survive when, as you said the cards are stacked against you - has been life changing for me. No joke. The more you succeed, the harder people will try come against you. I hate that. But it seems to be. Thank you for sharing - thank you for sharing, thank you for being you. You truly are awesome.
Topping Family I never get why so many people are so heartless toward Boogie. No matter how many milestones he hits people will always say things to cut him down. I too hate that, and wished that people would learn to love instead of hate, the world would truly be a nicer place without all the venomous and toxic people.
I find you inspiring. I have dealt with manic depression my entire life. Seeing someone face mental illness with a positive attitude is awe inspiring and inspires me to work on being the best most healthy me that I can be. I now also have other health issues to take into account but watching you tackle your health issues head on with such courage gives me the courage to face mine. Thank you for being my inspiration. Keep going Boogie. We are rooting for you.
Well Boogie I don’t know if I should congratulate or be sorry for you over your divorce buddy. I really am sorry for both you and your ex and hope the best for you .
No they said congratulate, there's a difference. Like if you were getting abused by your ex, I would congratulate you on leaving them. If you loved them dearly I would be sorry for you.
I personally think that these people who are against you and the fact that you are noticing that it has increased a bit, is just a test from the universe. The universe is testing your resolve. Fuck the haters. You're an amazing person and most of us are so so SO proud of you!!
I'm divorced but where I live in Canada I had to wait an entire year before we were allowed to officially file for divorce. That waiting period is so stupid. Glad it went quickly for you.
I just want to say, you're an inspiration. Even though our struggles are different, no one should have to go through what we are going through. For me, it's something the world doesn't understand, and your videos got me thinking: I should try making videos to post here on youtube. I don't know if I could make a living out of it, but if I can help someone understand themself or even help those on the outside understand, then I should try.
Really enjoyed yet another of your rambling videos. Divorce is hard I've been there so I understand. My head was a mess even though I ended it. I was lucky in love because from the time I left my first wife to moving in with my girlfriend (who became my wife on Valentine's Day 3 years ago) was exactly 1 year. Carry on doing what you're doing and become as big a success as you can be and prove to others (like you already are) that anything is possible as long as you put your mind, your heart and soul into it.
I started here watching a dude destroy things but as time went on, I learned more about myself and life in general. Thank you for this wisdom and inspiration.
Hey Boogie, I quit Pain killers recently, If you ever have to come off them trust me it is the worst pain and misery you can imagine. If I was still on pain killers Nothing can touch me emotionally, If ever the time comes and you can be off the pain meds......Be prepared man it can end Careers from the withdrawals. I lost my Job Trying to come off them Damn near lost my mind. Trust me, I mean if you need the meds take them for as long as you do, But don't be fooled they are masking your mental Illnesses VERY well. I almost couldn't come off them without suicidal thoughts. BE CAREFUL!
That was some crazy wisdom you laid down there. That bit about people getting mad because they see you as unworthy of happiness because they view you as less of a person really resonated with me. So happy to see you doing well!!! Keep the awesome work up.
Who would find you inspiring? Me! You went through the anxiety and got the life changing surgery, I had to get hospitalized for 5 days and was terrified, and my anxiety was through the roof, but you know what? If you can go through with the surgery which was much bigger than what I had to go through, well I can get through the anxiety and those 5 days of hospitalization!! And I did! You are doing great things just talking about the anxiety, it makes people who are suffering with anxiety issues feel less alone, and one step at a time, maybe we can break the stigma around mental illnesses. Keep going man, and take care of yourself, much love!
I have been a subscriber here for some time now, today you made me think about why I subscribe to your channel and I think it is because you are genuinely a great human being. I really enjoying your videos, I learn a lot about acceptance, empathy and reaching goals that sometimes seems impossible. As a introvert person who has a hard time socialising and believing in my own successes, you really help out a lot. For that I would like to thank you so much.
Boogie, you're a very strong person. Finalizing things that even though you're "prepared" you can never fully grasp anything until it's over. I'm sorry. It's hard. It's a personal tragedy regardless if you had time to "prepare" Stay strong man. We love you, even though we're all strangers to you, we consider you a friend.
Trying to better myself too. I was recently diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and it sucks, but after seeing all you've been through I know its nothing and I just gotta keep going. Thanks Boogie!
"What I've built is modest, but it's a lot more than the deficit I was born into." I will never forget that.
Francis on tinder coming soon
Please make this video. It doesn't have to be dirty or anything, just whatever funny reactions Frances would have to it. :)
Fine Bitches!
OH MY GOD YES!!
Do this
Iceni That would be so funny! But I don't know if Boogie is 100% OK with that...
You are good. Your channel is more like a corner store. Sometimes you aren't open, sometimes you don't smile but you always have what I came in for. Bless you, bless your ex, may the tomorrows you have bring you all you need to grow.
Good point
WeedyistFlame420 wow.. Couldn't have said it better.
Perfect analogy mate!
That’s the most poetic thing I’ve ever seen in the RUclips comment section.
I absolutely agree to that.
There's a lot in this video I needed to hear when it comes to struggling with the mental and emotional hardships of life. I really like the analogy used when it comes to staying in the game. It's also incredibly relieving to hear someone explain the perspective of trolls who ramp up the hate when you're most vulnerable or when you're succeeding and have things they want and feel you don't deserve. Much encouragement and love to anyone who's currently struggling, broken and beaten by the pain life throws our way. I love this channel.
Now we can be one my love
You!
oh hey Quinton what's good
Fucking make that happen
Gayyy
Quinton Reviews lol
If you lose someone, but find yourself, you won.
go MGTOW Boogie
alyeakitty this is strong
Shut up
Andy Garcia awesome point😁
The Realist let me give you a hug
I'm in for the group hug..
Boggie counts as a group
naruto16911 no need to get so butthurt
260 likes for this innocuous comment. Shame on you idiots. He needs to deal with his pain med situation. Yes, he needed them for a long while, but at 6:50, he is making excuses to keep being addicted. I know. I've been there.
My rockstar - I'm so ready for a VidCon hug. Granny Loves You. Wish I'd been asked to speak/panel, but nothing yet.
Granny PottyMouth who are you trying to fool?
Dr. PhillingKidsWithDrugs ain't fooling a god damn one of us either.
Denzel 'My Nigga' Washington what are you trying to say?
Dr. PhillingKidsWithDrugs, I seen the videos. You filled young people with addiction, lots of heavy drugs in the green room of your show, so when they come on stage, it's easier for you to talk shit about them, like you're some type of Addiction God. I run shit here, you just live here....
Denzel 'My Nigga' Washington you listened to one too many conspiracy theories. Be very careful what you say
Hey Boogie. I met an elderly couple today in the cancer ward. The husband was a WW2 veteran who survived Pearl Harbor. They told me they met in 1950 on a blind date her friend set up. She wasn't interested in dating anyone, but obliged her friend and went anyways. 5 days later, they got MARRIED. 67 years later, I was lucky enough to hear their story. What I took away from it is keep your options open, even if you're focusing on yourself, because sometimes all it takes is one chance encounter like that. Also, fuck cancer.
Bryce Heyden that's beautiful but why the hell would you marry someone 5 days after meeting them
joseph boehmer My uncle married my new aunt a few weeks after meeting her.
watch out for those pain killers boogie. please don't resort to drugs in this weird lull of recovery you're experiencing.
Well said, I've watch many good people go down the drain from pain meds and eventually overdose and die. My kids are without a mother due to overdose. It can and will catch even the most careful person, and ruin them if they fall victim to the addiction. It controls people, changes them.
Be safe Boogie we are all proud of you and we all wish you the best Sir.
I agree. But with him being post-op, he’s going to take awhile to have a manageable amount of pain.
A good doctor wouldn't prescribe painkillers. If he does he's a quack or doesn't care about you. Period.
Sometimes you have no choice about taking pain meds. There are certain situations whereby even the threat of being addicted is secondary to the issues that come from severe pain and the health consequences from that. Having spent over 9 years dealing with addicts - alcoholics, heroin and crack users, and a tenant addicted to huffing aerosols - I am no stranger to about every aspect of addiction.
I am now in the "yeah, but I have to take opioids just to manage the day to day living ... stage 4 esophageal cancer that's in my liver and lungs. Without the pills, I'm not able to live anything approaching "normal" (except the 4 days during and after chemo) and the stress from the pain puts more acid re-flux pressure on the tumors in my esophagus and upper stomach.
Keeping all that under control requires both slow acting morphine and fast oxycodone. I'm hoping that the continued improvements I'm currently getting from chemo will eventually eliminate the need but until then I'm stuck with what is working. Thankfully I've managed to maintain the same daily doses for a couple months so I'm hopeful that I'm doing things the right way. Addiction will HOPEFULLY be a concern later when its time to stop taking the meds.
You nailed the reason you're inspiring. It's because of all the ways life has tried to keep you down but couldn't.
gnbman true bro boogie is amazing
Daimon Robinson life must hate you since your life is pretty fucking bad LMAO. On a youtubers channel to hate on them, what a joke
gnbman - EXACTLY. I’m proud of you Boogie 🥇
stop baiting wang-warbler
I want to just say that I find you inspiring because I too was dealt the losing hand from a loser deck. I don't watch all of your videos, but the ones where you have bared your soul, and what you are going througj, give me hope to keep working on me. I am 35 this year, and find it easier and easier to choose myself, through watching you face hardship, and pick yourself back up and improve. I wish you all the best in your journey, and cannot thank you enough for what you do, even if you don't see it. I will be watching out for a time that I can meet up and thank you in person.
'I was born owing a lifetime of misery - and I've paid that life time of misery and now i am looking forward to a little joy'
if that's not inspiring I don't know what is
Was that quote from some movie
no its a quote from boogies video.. i am just going to assume he said that himself!
bathbadgerking dude that’s so beautiful. It sounds like something a great intellectual would only be able to put together, really poetic and eloquent
Wow! Well that takes it to yet another level of cringe then. Lololo
i don't think it's cringe worthy. Rather i think it is beautiful and honest and open. Words from someone who has clearly spent a lot of time thinking about that sentence.
When I got divorced I thought I would be "happily" single for the rest of my life. Fast forward 10+ years and I'm happily remarried. I know it hurts right now and it might at times feel like a huge door was slammed in your face, but once you turn around you'll see you've got a world of opportunities at your back. You can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone you want now without having to worry about what your wife wants. It's sad that she didn't want to be there with you for the ride but when you are ready to bring someone else in again, that person will be more in line with the new you. And it's the same for her. Just keep focusing on building Steve.
I'm not a feminist. Go MGTOW some where else.
Jonathan Jacobs man let that pain go she just let him know there's life after divorce and there is. it's ok people come and go in life you have to be strong
Yeah, you gotta focus on building Steve. Steve can't build himself.
Jonathan Jacobs
Then don't get married.
You ARE inspiring Boogie. It saddens me to know that some bitter people say those cruel things to you. Maybe they are only coping with their own pain. It cannot be easy, but I hope you can focus more on the good you've done for the ones who can see you as an inspiration. To me, you seem indomitable, and what you've become, in spite of and in congruence with what you've endured and endure, helps me believe just more in the potential goodness, tenacity, and courage of others and especially myself. I cannot overstate how much that means to me these days. So if you ever happen to read this, then thank you, for being what, and who you are.
I've been wrestling with why people tear down positivity myself recently... I think that some people either find it troubling because it challenges them to wake up and stop sleepwalking through life and deal with things in a way that requires that they take on some hard battles that they don't want to face, or maybe it's because it challenges their worldview of everything being a hierarchy where some people are above other people and they feel like they have pecked their way to a certain point in the order and if someone they normally could peck down ends up doing better than them, they feel the need to attack and "fix" the "unfair" situation. Either way, I feel like being emotionally aware and recognizing the equal status of all people is where their focus needs to be redirected. Which is exactly what your rambling series does! So keep up the good work!!! But that would explain why they're gunning for you.
Have 15 hugs from me and my beard
Hahahahahaha!!!
Alpha I miss your videos.
You're a cancer to gaming and you're part of the reason the new generation of gamers does nothing but complain about everything gaming related instead of just enjoying games. As someone that grew up in the NES / Sega era I know how fortunate gamers are today but they don't appreciate what they have because they see people like you telling them how bad they have it. Just stop making videos so the gaming community can get back to having fun and not acting like angry little atheists that weren't popular in high school.
You still alive?
AlphaOmegaSin don't you have a "SJW" to bitch about?
Hang in there, man. If you're down, remember that four million people believe in you.
*4 and a half
Over 4 million!
I love you Boogie
and I don’t even know you
Thank you for being a wonderful role model
Showing everyone that we aren’t limited by the hand that we were dealt and that anyone can change their lives for the better when they decide.
I never comment but I always take great value from your videos. You are an inspiration
Don’t let anyone bring you down.
Thank you very much for being you
There. You said it. Boom. Thanks.
Bright Insight duuuuuuude I love your channel wtf?!?! I just found you a week ago and I have watched a bunch of videos this is insane
I just came back to check this comment for some reason and you commented on it
Woooooooow the universe is crazy
Sorry man, don't neglect consoling though.
True cause deep down we all need a bit of consoling
Mad respect to you ProtoMario, your comment needs more likes! We need more people to see this positivity!
On which console though, XBOX or Playstation? Maybe Ouya?
Counseling*
ProtoMario I am a big fan!!
I hope you and your ex-wife both find happiness.
Having half of Boogie's wealth will sure help !
You don’t know the terms of their settlement.
Shut the fuck up.
That bitch is no longer Boogies concern.
She was already fucking another guy. Lol
peter pizarro hardly blame her
Listening to you feels like I’m listening to a friend. You inspire me.
Sad you announce this right before Valentine's Day :/ . You'll find someone else, dude. You're an amazing man.
He'll easily find someone else!
I love u boogie ur an amazing dude brudda
Sakura Aww. Btw I know what it's like. Not to be divorced but alone. He'll definitely find someone else :)
Retro8bit Exactly. Btw like your username.
When Deadpool dropped on Valentine's, that was the best
Somebody get this man on Joe Rogans podcast
seriously
Hey Buggie. My seven-year-old son told me you have Pokémon in the background of your video. I am a blind subscriber. I enjoy listening to your stories. Thank you for sharing. You made my son's day when he saw your Pokémon in the background.
J.R. Bjornson how u type that fam how you gonna read this
Jacob G bruh it’s called a computer
Lmao this is the most random thing ever lmao is someone typing what you want to say to him?
J.R. Bjornson I call bullshit
ThronedPenguin67 If you go to his channel, it's very obvious that he is telling the truth. It's likely that someone helps him navigate and type what he wants to say.
anyone who thinks boogie is anything less then awe inspiring is crazy, the amount of empathy u gush out with every word u speak is astounding... touching my soul and making me feel like i have an army of loners behind me, just because i understand who u are and how u feel through these videos. its given me the strength to try to achieve my dreams when before i had given up on my aspirations until i was bombarded with these sentiments from youtubers like you and matpat and pewds... the inspiration i've gained through you all and others, its more then i could have ever asked for Steven... thank you, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
You're incredibly inspiring. You're winning with that attitude!
Hé is the reason why I do RUclips and I definitely agree with you that he is inspiring
What a comment section, what a RUclipsr, this channel has become something much more than a shirtless Francis yelling about his Mountain Dew, it has become a place where a lot of people come to get inspiration
I am not a gamer. I found your channel after watching obese to beast. I continued watch no because of your perspective on life, your determination and dedication to do what you believe is best for you with your health, surgery etc. I see comments from trolls on other sites as well. The jealousy is evident and most of the readers and viewers know where it comes from. Lets face it, It’s easier to pick on other people than change what’s wrong when we look in the mirror. Keep it up. Also to note, I can see more and more of your chair each time you are on. You are definitely downsizing. Well done. Keep it up. Your level of happiness and pride in yourself is evident as it should be.
I haven’t been to your streams in a while. Mostly because of time, but I always smile when I see a video uploaded from you. If it’s early in the morning and I’m going to work, I’ll just put your video on speaker and listen to you talk whether it’s regarding video game news, your rambling videos, or commentary on a particular news story. I just like tuning in a hearing your opinion on certain things because you’re always so classy about them and you approach it with careful fluidity. It’s very admirable :)
Tomorrow is valentines. The timing must be awkward. But on a more sincere note, thanks again for such an inspiring video, listening to you really does feel like listening to a friend. I'm really happy to see that no matter how many times you're brought down, you keep your head up and keep pushing. Glad to hear you're the best you've ever been. God bless you :)
Valantines day is today in Australia
I'VE COVERED WARS YOU KNOW reasons for being a dick?
I don’t feel like he was being a dick
Andy Zhang haha
Andy Zhang .... Celebrating Valentines is for SIMP pussies.
sorry you're having to deal with all that crap and all the haters. I think people fall into two groups - those who get joy from seeing someone else doing something awesome with their lives, and those who get triggered by someone else doing something they can't, or someone who is an easy target to lash out at. It's very easy to hide behind the internet and say nasty things about people you don't know. I'm rooting for you though! There's a word I really love: 'Firgun' - the simple, unselfish joy that something good has happened, or might happen, to someone else.
i actually kinda have pity for a lot of "haters" even though a lot those type of people would never admit it alot of them have tons of issues of their own and like you said they get some kind of weird pleasure from talking down/talking shit about people. I personally don't really understand that.. I mean my life kinda sucks to be honest but I don't hate anyone or blame anyone else for my problems or any of that.
This calls for a group hug
Boogie c'mere
Group hugs for all!
MsTiffrny *hug*
Hug HUG HUUUGGG HUUUGGGGZZZZ
*spanks ur ass*
Hug
Bro you are the most inspiring, real, and heart-warming in the nitty gritty way, person that I’ve ever met. Even though you are a person I only know through the internet, I still feel like I can say that I’ve “met” you. That’s the kind of impact you’ve had on my life and I’m sure other people’s as well. Thanks for being who you are Boogie, I appreciate and love you.
Ive been occasionally checking into your channel once a week ish for the past year and I'm glad to see how far you've come. Since then I've kinda fallen into a slump of my own and I don't have the motivation or energy to turn anything around.. It's inspiring to see someone who is objectively worse off than I am, pull themselves out of their situation and turn things around.
Me to
Out from the ashes grow the roses! God Bless you Boogie for never giving up and constantly pushing forward! I suppose if I could go back in time to do things over, the only thing I would do is look for the things I missed having been so consumed with "me" cause I know I missed a lot of things the world was trying to show me
All 4 million of us are with you
3 million propably died with their myspace acount.
You don't speak for 4M ppl, but he has a shit ton of people like us with him
What about the other 429,975?
Bonechip talking about his subscribers dimwit
You can do it bud! I’m recovering from 10 years of drinking. I got 6 months sober. Gotta quit smoking now, and work on my physical and mental health. I have depression and anxiety. I have called this my healing year. Focusing on myself. Stay strong Brother! You got this!
Cody Dickison you should go back to alcohol it’s fun or maybe do some heroin
Taco Sauce It is tuff but doable.
Good on you Cody, go for it.
Good for you Cody, keep working on it - one day at a time. Best of luck with your healing year.
Keep at it dude, it is so worth it in the long run
Just in case you're searching for a positive comment, here it is. You're a great guy, Boogie, and you're doing brilliantly. Wishing you good times ahead; you deserve them x
I don't know why other people like you, but I like you because you are more humane and "flawed", but very honest and sincerely; never too proud to admit you were wrong and you give pretty decent advice due to personal experiences. I aint the one to watch people for their looks, because I got plenty other media genres and platforms to be on if I wanted fake-perfect "celebrities" to look at or listen to. I like the people that have something thoughtful and interesting to add to this world, regardless of their looks, culture, language, etc. I also like people to challange my opinions and reality, if they are able to explain their reasoning to me. Thus I watch (people like) you.
You could do H3H3 podcast again, that would be good! 😁
mitchcraft compare how he looks right now to how he looks in the H3 podcast thumbnail the appearance is so similar
One door closes...Another door OPENS!! CONGRATULATIONS BOOGIE! You have grown! YOU ARE ENOUGH! Never believe anything else! Always in my thoughts and prayers. You are strong enough to move on. Bless your heart and bless your mind. All the good to you!
Norma Emanuel are you hitting on Boogie so soon???? Damn girl, give him some air. Let him enjoy his life as a single dude
Ginko CR Lol...just wishing him well. Im a little too old and a little too married.
Bob Ross Thanks for letting that awesome personality shine through. Wishing you the best as well.
Norma Emanuel Yea.. I'll never understand people like him
Go back to the H3 podcast for a one year anniversary 'check in'
I make sure to watch all of your videos so sometimes I'm behind as I know this video is a few days old; nonetheless, I want you to know that I consider you to be a very sincere and kind person and I always enjoy hearing your input and thought on many topics. I am not surprised to see that you manage to remain humble on some of the negative comments even though it personally upsets me to see that happen to you. For this, my level of respect towards you has only increased. You have a huge fan base for a reason. We love you too.
Boogie
I am a long time fan and have watched many, many videos of yours. I believe this is my first ever RUclips comment and i want to use it to say that you and your videos have helped me. I am currently going through a divorce that I don't want. My wife is leaving me for the man she had an affair with. I have been a wreck for the last month or so. But the first step I took to help get over it and move forward was to use your audible link and download the book you recommended The subtle art of not giving a fuck. The book opened my eyes about myself and the situation I was in. I am now dealing with this better than I could have without. You are an inspiration, showing that anyone can do want they want, they just have to put effort in. Thank you and keep the content coming
imthejanitor It is going to be okay! I feel fucking sorry for you man. Life can suck sometimes. Get trough this! Maybe lisen to the song Parade of Lights - Undefeatable. If it is not your sound doesn't matter since the lyrics are so cool!
Thank you. The song is really good, found a new band. But I'll be fine. Time for me to focus on myself and getting my life back on track
Can't say i've been a long fan, if I remember correctly I subbed to you like 5 months ago but well, just wanted to wish you the best and its glad to see that you are still going strong, can't imagine to go through something like this. Hopefully the good content will keep coming, cheers!
Don't worry Boogie, we'll be your ultimate wingmen
UnPhayzable Hamish and Andy reference
Wing persons
Wow.. I'm so glad I watched this. Me and mine just ended a 7 year long relationship on Sunday. We both had the right attitude about it, it's sad but we both knew it was for the best and I think the key was finishing it BEFORE it turned awful as we hear in so many stories..
Everything you're saying speaks to me. I feel the same emotions, I feel the same. It makes me feel good, it makes me feel better. This is happening all the time, and it's sad, but I'm not alone.
And you're right. We're here because of what we've been through. I began my relationship at one of my lowest points, and I've ended it at one of the highest. I couldn't have made it without him and without changing as I did.
Perspective is important. Thank you. I would say more but.. Well my mind is tired as can be expected. Just thank you, and I wish you all the best.
If u can do H3H3 podcast again that would be lit!!!!!
He was? When?
Maybe fracis can get laid. F.D.B.
I would click on another Boogie H3H3 podcast so fast
PEG2002 yessss
PEG2002 *great/amazing/awesome/perfect/outstanding. Not "lit"
If someone can't see the beauty in you, it's because they can't see the beauty in themselves. Nobody is "perfect," but we're all perfectly us. I love when you speak from the heart. It's not just healing for you, but for all of us!
Hey Boogie don’t know if you’ll see this or even care, but focus on your health and happiness brother.
Be careful about them painkillers... And steroids. Don't get sucked in! You'll ruin everything.
Internet Warriors I got a tooth pulled and they put me on hydrocodone 7.5s and man they made me feel so good after thanking half the bottle I noticed I was taking them because not of the pain but because I wanted to stay feeling that way so I got a coffee can put the pills in it then filled it up with just old scrap food and other nasty stuff and put it in the trash. I still to this day miss the feeling they gave me and it's been over a year! SMH I knew I had to get rid of the rest because I knew if I kept taking them and finished the bottle I would want more and more.
Michael Mcintosh you did the right thing! It's true, it makes you feel good and improves performance even, but the crash, withdrawals, money lost, friends and family alienated, jobs lost, classes failed... It's just not worth it. No one can feel great all the time, or else the bad times will seem so very bad. We need a stable mix of ups and downs to give us a real perspective on life. But I guarantee if you exercise and eat right you'll find that you have more ups than downs. And that's ok, because it's all natural.
Glad to hear you realized what few do, and stopped before it was to late. Take care!
Michael Mcintosh Good idea. The way some dentists and doctors prescribe those pills, it's really scary. They should only be prescribed for certain carefully-screened patients for whom nothing else works. Giving them out cavalierly is exactly why there's an opioid epidemic now.
zxy atiywariii I agree. There's a lot of contributing factors (life style, income (to name a couple), but yeah. I absolutely agree with you.
Internet Warriors yeah stay off the pills they ruin everything
Just don’t pass out in the pool 😉 jokes aside, you’ll get through this Boogie. Just remember the goal... YOU!!
Do the H3h3 podcast again!!!
Aaron Faulkingham yesss
Why? If they have the same guest again some people will think that the show going down hill also what could they talk about for a second time.
Leppard_625 it's been a loooong time dude , and they've had a bunch of guests on twice.
Leppard_625 They commonly have repeat guests. Intriguing people and friends will never run out of things to say.
Joe Diaz yep :)
You've inspired me to become more aware of my health and try to become more physically fit (I haven't been my whole life). So I'm leaving a positive comment to say thank you, and you rock!
Alyss93 and YOU rock.
let me hop on the compliment train
you rock
kyukyu a train that IS on time....
Boogie, take the time you need when you need it.
Also I’m glad to hear that you are working out physically, but also working on your mind.
Also, you are looking healthier and healthier every time I see your new upload! Keep at it bud. We support you.
It might be good for you to check in with a pain management and rehabilitation doctor.
Also for your knee, look into a doctor that uses a pharmacy (compounding most likely) that makes a topical pain cream. Make sure it has lidocaine in it, it’s done wonders for my aches and pains, as well as my moms nerve damage pain.
The cream will help numb the area and relieve the pain, but also most of those creams have compounds that have qualities which will help your muscles, joints, and nerves repair.
The best part is it is non addictive like most opioids. You may be especially susceptible to addiction, with your issues you suffer from mentally.
I just want you to continue on this path of self improvement because your self improvement helps many of us feel better too, through motivation.
I wish you all the best!
Dude, don't worry about us, you need to worry about yourself right now, especially after going through something like this. We will be waiting, enjoy yourself man :)
Dear Boogie,
I Love you so much. It makes me happy when I see you happy! And I hurt when I see you hurt. You were put here for something big, and something beautiful. I know because, nobody I know in my life speaks from their soul as you do. Nobody I know makes me feel like I can relate to them as you make me feel I can with you. If anyone on this earth is a true angel, its you sir. I've been watching your video's since before you were famous. Some small clip of you doing a bunch of voice impressions. My first though was, this goofy crackpot is hilarious. One of the voices you did was Meatwad I think, and another was of a little kid voice singing "over the mountain, covered with cheeeeeze"... I've been busy with my whole life thing too recently, so over the years I've poked in about once a month to catch up on you. And It makes me so proud and so happy to see what you've done for yourself. You were put on this earth to give hope and save lives, sir. Those that recognize that in you are the ones that matter. They are the ones that have great love for you. To everyone else that doesn't see that, you're just an easy target, so forgive them and let yourself keep being happy
You are a big inspiration Boogie. I'm a long time fan and I want to thank you for the star wars old republic copy you gave away years ago. I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time right now. Love from Norway.
"Big inspiration"
I just started watching your channel. You are so down to earth and interesting, I feel like I could listen to you for hours because you talk about subjects that resonate with the issues that I have and a lot of us have. Just letting you know that you're an inspiring and comforting voice to a lot of your viewers so thank you.
i dont think anyone who sits through one of your rambling videos with their undivided attention can hate you or be negative
k
boogie will pull tons of women with his new body! You go man!
No, he won't
Vegan Gainz Hue wow
Yeah, pulling girls into his orbit lol
Katie E. McLoughlin 🇺🇸 savage
I feel you Boogie. On July 21st last year, my longest relationship of 2 years ended on the 2 year anniversary. I found out two months later that she was cheating on me and that she was looking for men for months before the breakup. It still devastates me. I have my good days where I'm just top dog, and then my bad days where I feel more like a dog begging for attention and care because I know I wouldn't receive it otherwise. There's a place out there for both of us...
Garrett Eaken stay strong buddy ❤
Garrett Eaken bless your heart dog much respect
Hey man, you don't need to apologize for missing out on things. I mostly watch here on RUclips since the stuff on Twitch can sometimes be a bit much, but that's just me. I've always supported you every step of the way and am a huge fan. But, as I said, you do NOT need to apologize. I know and understand that you have your own life and sometimes you just need to take a step back for a day or two to get things in order. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I will say, I am sorry the marriage didn't quite work out, but at least you guys stayed friends. That doesn't normally happen unfortunately. So, you still have that.
In regards to the naysayers, they will always be there trying to bring you down. I think that they might just be getting a bit frustrated that you are managing to succeed at overcoming the obstacles they never thought or hoped you would overcome simply because they cannot overcome their own or they are just sad people looking for someone else to belittle because reasons. I never understood why people do that, so I just take a simple view that all people are inherently distrustful and hurtful until I meet them and they prove me wrong. I expect to be proven wrong most of the time, and hate it when I am proven right. But, there ain't much you can do except just ignore them and focus on the folks that have your back.
Just keep in mind that I will always be here to watch your videos. I also watch a lot of other things on RUclips as well just like most folks. So a gap in your filming schedule is no issue for me really. But, I will come here to watch your content as frequently as I can when I see new stuff uploaded. Have a good year man, stay as sane as possible, stay safe, and God bless.
You're by far the most genuine and sincere person I watch on RUclips. I hope this comment finds you amongst the negative.
LSSG Broly I don't think any of that, if true, justifies the sort of negative comments he mentioned. Just makes you as bad as what you're trying to abuse.
LSSG Broly LSSG Broly 😂😂 calm down. I said "if" because I haven't seen any of that, so can't say whether it's true or not. Sorry I'm not taking the word of a commentator online I don't know. And you didn't try to prove "facts" or anything of the sort. You just said things, that isn't proof or fact. If I see boogie admit to abusing his wife, then fair enough, I won't watch him anymore. Still doesn't justify anyone else's behaviour.
LSSG Broly no problem, and thanks, I'll look into it.
You're strong man. We are all behind you and you have me and millions of people here for you. Thank you for all you do. Youve helped me more than anything
Love you Boogie
I think that no one is entitled to anything.
I've thought that it has to be earned.
The years of pain and the pain that still persists is proof that we worked to tried to earn something.
After years of incredible pain I think you have earned this, Boogie.
I've watched you on and off and it always seems like you're facing one trial or another but you pull through.
I your battle scars are places where you could have died but instead you kept fighting even when the odds were against you.
Remember that you have suffered so that you can be grateful in every moment without pain.
Strength and wisdom to you. Your story still has many chapters that are yet to be written.
You now have the pen and blood from your wounds in the past is your ink.
I'm sorry, Boogie. Thank you for being so open, I know that would be hard for me. We love you.
It's time to hit the strip clubs my brother. All lap dances are on me.
MrBoriqua2000 let me join, pick me at Sesame Street.
MrBoriqua2000 I wanna come too pick me up in Toon Town
MrBoriqua2000 All the more, the better.
Been there with children that I ended up raising while they were young. THIS WILL PASS. You WILL be fine.
I know why you’re inspiring. It’s really not that difficult. Through all your hardships and whatever happened to end your marriage, it didn’t kill your spirit or drive for spreading positivity and showing up here for your fans.
I know plenty of people that had it easier that just gave up on life. Psychologically speaking, you’re not showing any other sign of grief than acceptance. We all have bad days when reacting to our problems, but your good days (like this day) are head-turning. People who have it better, can’t believe your optimism and it’s frustrating to them with no other outlet than the comments section.
Stay strong Boogie, we're all here for you!
You are literally one of the strongest guys I know man, I really envy that. Keep toughing it out man, we love and support you.
Hey Boogie,
Thank you for these videos.
And if anyone is wondering who is inspired by you, people like me are.
I am a 47 year old divorcée, with so many mental health issues I need a book to fit them all in, and I am just starting my 12 week pre-op liquid diet.
Everyone has issues. No one is perfect - and I can guarantee that the trolls are far from perfect. If they were happy, they wouldn’t be leaving crappie downer comments because they’d have better things to do.
Keep your head held high!
Peace ✌🏻

Tracy Lynn Shaw shame
what a nice comment.
erlich haha what it's true
Tracy Lynn Shaw sending you good vibes and good luck for your progression. I really liked your comment!
Go Tracy!
You really inspire me to follow through with my goals man hearing about all the crap you've struggled through. Clawing your way to where you are today gives me hope for my fucked up brain, you're a good man, keep up the great work!
Boogie, you're a great guy. Seriously, being so open and vulnerable in front of people is a very underrated talent, which doesn't surprise me because most people struggle with the difficult introspection and confrontations that come with that. Stay strong and be your ambitious yet imperfect self. That's what inspires me.
We’re here for you boogie. No problem. I have faith everything is going to go well for you. Lots of love from Las Vegas my boi.
"Scars are nature's war paint."
I love you too boogie! Hang in there!
I have been a fan for years. I have suffered the same as you. I am currently at 500 pounds. I am 6 foot 5 and 53 years old. I am in and out of the hospital with edema and cellulitus. They keep telling me I do have congested heart failure, and then I do not have CHF. I am always in pain and I have also have been told I will never survive the surgery. I look up to you, and I am still searching. Please know there are some of us out here who still suffers...it could be worse, you could be stuck where I am. Looks good on you Boogie!
I think the get so much hate is because you are escaping what they are trapped in
So true
I agree
This is deep
I don’t usually comment - but truly - you have inspired me, you have encouraged me - your perseverance, your ability to find the reason to survive when, as you said the cards are stacked against you - has been life changing for me. No joke.
The more you succeed, the harder people will try come against you. I hate that. But it seems to be.
Thank you for sharing - thank you for sharing, thank you for being you. You truly are awesome.
Topping Family I think there's a score of people like us looking at him for inspiration and rooting for him! His successes are ours! 💓
Topping Family I never get why so many people are so heartless toward Boogie. No matter how many milestones he hits people will always say things to cut him down. I too hate that, and wished that people would learn to love instead of hate, the world would truly be a nicer place without all the venomous and toxic people.
Now you're a single pringle ready to mingle!
Cop Wanna Bee that was my description for my tinder but uncle found out and told me to change it right away
Chilllllllllll..
James Reddington the fact your uncle was looking for dudes on tinder is a little weird
ZerkSaysWTF lol hopefully they already know he is gay
ZerkSaysWTF no Jesus lol, we own a resteraunt and an employee told him
I find you inspiring. I have dealt with manic depression my entire life. Seeing someone face mental illness with a positive attitude is awe inspiring and inspires me to work on being the best most healthy me that I can be. I now also have other health issues to take into account but watching you tackle your health issues head on with such courage gives me the courage to face mine. Thank you for being my inspiration. Keep going Boogie. We are rooting for you.
Well Boogie I don’t know if I should congratulate or be sorry for you over your divorce buddy. I really am sorry for both you and your ex and hope the best for you .
allan fulton You just said you don't know if you ahould be sorry or not and then said sorry lol
Dizzy If the marriage is anything like my mom's marriage to my ex-stepfather, it's definitely something to congratulate about.
No they said congratulate, there's a difference. Like if you were getting abused by your ex, I would congratulate you on leaving them. If you loved them dearly I would be sorry for you.
I personally think that these people who are against you and the fact that you are noticing that it has increased a bit, is just a test from the universe. The universe is testing your resolve. Fuck the haters. You're an amazing person and most of us are so so SO proud of you!!
I got some advice when i got divorced. Take time to grieve you lost something important and grieving that loss is important.
I'm divorced but where I live in Canada I had to wait an entire year before we were allowed to officially file for divorce. That waiting period is so stupid. Glad it went quickly for you.
U should take some time off if u need it. True fans will wait.
Vexor yes we will
But this is his job and even if true fans wait, he needs everyone
That was a powerful ending. Watch it till the end, kids.
I just want to say, you're an inspiration. Even though our struggles are different, no one should have to go through what we are going through. For me, it's something the world doesn't understand, and your videos got me thinking: I should try making videos to post here on youtube. I don't know if I could make a living out of it, but if I can help someone understand themself or even help those on the outside understand, then I should try.
Really enjoyed yet another of your rambling videos. Divorce is hard I've been there so I understand. My head was a mess even though I ended it. I was lucky in love because from the time I left my first wife to moving in with my girlfriend (who became my wife on Valentine's Day 3 years ago) was exactly 1 year. Carry on doing what you're doing and become as big a success as you can be and prove to others (like you already are) that anything is possible as long as you put your mind, your heart and soul into it.
I read its finally over in my notifications and thought the world was ending
austin brooks I'm sure you will need the internet to let you know the world is ending. lol
Haha same
I started here watching a dude destroy things but as time went on, I learned more about myself and life in general. Thank you for this wisdom and inspiration.
Hey Boogie, I quit Pain killers recently, If you ever have to come off them trust me it is the worst pain and misery you can imagine. If I was still on pain killers Nothing can touch me emotionally, If ever the time comes and you can be off the pain meds......Be prepared man it can end Careers from the withdrawals. I lost my Job Trying to come off them Damn near lost my mind. Trust me, I mean if you need the meds take them for as long as you do, But don't be fooled they are masking your mental Illnesses VERY well. I almost couldn't come off them without suicidal thoughts. BE CAREFUL!
That was some crazy wisdom you laid down there. That bit about people getting mad because they see you as unworthy of happiness because they view you as less of a person really resonated with me. So happy to see you doing well!!! Keep the awesome work up.
Who would find you inspiring? Me! You went through the anxiety and got the life changing surgery, I had to get hospitalized for 5 days and was terrified, and my anxiety was through the roof, but you know what? If you can go through with the surgery which was much bigger than what I had to go through, well I can get through the anxiety and those 5 days of hospitalization!! And I did! You are doing great things just talking about the anxiety, it makes people who are suffering with anxiety issues feel less alone, and one step at a time, maybe we can break the stigma around mental illnesses. Keep going man, and take care of yourself, much love!
No pun intended but I feel for you if you find this loser inspiring.
Where is the pun?
danr projecting his sad life lol
danr8472 seriously? You really are a vile human being.
danr8472 He has 4 million subscribers, you have one. Who's the real loser here?
I have been a subscriber here for some time now, today you made me think about why I subscribe to your channel and I think it is because you are genuinely a great human being. I really enjoying your videos, I learn a lot about acceptance, empathy and reaching goals that sometimes seems impossible. As a introvert person who has a hard time socialising and believing in my own successes, you really help out a lot. For that I would like to thank you so much.
Boogie, you're a very strong person. Finalizing things that even though you're "prepared" you can never fully grasp anything until it's over.
I'm sorry. It's hard. It's a personal tragedy regardless if you had time to "prepare"
Stay strong man. We love you, even though we're all strangers to you, we consider you a friend.
Dave Vd except that's not why they got divorced, and you're clueless.
Trying to better myself too. I was recently diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and it sucks, but after seeing all you've been through I know its nothing and I just gotta keep going. Thanks Boogie!
