@Charlie M. It's an open street. It doesn't fucking matter unless you just made a fool out of yourself, but I get that they were feeling uncomfortable.
This is legit the most emotional video ive seen in ages.. Please don't be too mad at yourself.. You had a lot of recovery to do before you were able to come back to the center of a lot of bad feelings for you.. You never could have known it would get this bad. Im so so sorry you had to go through all this. Sending all my love, please dont be too mad at yourself
If you’re thinking about having it professionally tore down. Contact the local fire department first and check to see if they would be interested in practicing putting out fires with the house. It would be a way to do some good and a fitting end the home.
This doesn’t happen, at least in the UK. I’d be shocked if they did it in North America. I’m sure a quick google search would say the same. Think about it logically. You’re suggesting they burn down old houses for practise? Forgetting that people live nearby (even in this vid they showed next doors window light on) the people that stop fires wouldn’t start one with the public around. Anyone that’s been to a fire station with a practise building will see how much empty space is around the target. It’s a nice idea though. 🙂
Hey Boogie, I know there’s a lot of emotions going on here, and to see you hurting isn’t nice, it never is. I do wish you would have visited with someone older and maybe a little more mature with a lot more empathy than Jussy, I really hope if you didn’t collect all the personal photos and awards that, whom ever you have to sort the estate out on your behalf that you ask them to save these things and mail them to you.... you never ever have to open that box, but I wouldn’t want you to feel regret or shame 10 years down the line from not keeping anything, you and your siblings suffered immensely, just don’t give yourself ever another reason to regret, take care lovely.
You've still got the land, Boogie. I know what it's like. This is the kind of squalor that I grew up in. Burn it. Burn all the rot out. Build something new for someone who needs it.
I worked my butt off to get rid of mine and I sound incredibly different than the rest of my family now. But it never fails to come out when I’m around people and/or family at home. Or drunk. Always when I’m drunk. 🤦🏻♀️
Boogie as someone who never had a home, and came from a messed up family. you have been an inspiration to me. just because you let a house go and fall into ruin doesnt make you a failure, that house haunted you and 10 years ago you werent ready to face those demons. but look at you now. keep your head up man, just because you grew up there doesnt make it home, build the home you want, thats what im doing. I just spent every dollar i had to get a house that is in complete disarray but everyday im working to make it a home for my family, i pay my monthly payment on it and every other dollar i earn goes to it. it will be a long time till its ready, but it will be my home, something i never had. so that my kids never have to worry like i had to about where i was gonna be next. never let your past stop your progress.

I live a couple miles from this town and have ate at wood booger before, most people around here aren't used to seeing a person walking around with a camera much less talking with it, they are pretty stuck up about it which also sucks because i'm into photography lol
This video is one of the most honest things I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time, and it feels almost cathartic to see. I really get the sense of letting go of the past in these series of videos, it’s something that all people have or will deal with at some point in their life. Thanks for sharing this, it has more value than anyone may ever tell you.
Damn, Boogie, I don't follow you regularly these days (nothing personal, I was just spending more time living your life than my own) but you are looking GOOD. I can really see the difference when there's been a gap of a couple of months since I watched.
I had a traumatic childhood & my mom was also a hoarder. Going thru her house when she passed was one of the hardest things. You're SO strong Boogie. It may be 10 years later, but u did it! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Boogie you treated your house like you treated your body the last 10 plus years. But you've come full circle and it's never too late to make things right. You are taking care of this situation just like you've been taking care of your body the last couple of years. This visit was therapy for you and a good thing. I was born in the same hospital in Abingdon 5 months after you. I think I went to the same 4H camp and everything. I love what you are doing with your channel and life now.
This video really showed how unintelligent and useless as a human boogie aka steven is. He didn't even know how to put the mask on in the first place. I've known how to use something as simple as those masks since I was 10. This guy is really really pitiful.
It’s because it would fog up his glasses if he put it over his nose as well. At that point you have to decide whether of not you want to see and risk inhaling something, or walk around blind. It isn’t because he doesn’t understand how to use the mask.
HamzTheBeer you have more respect son of a bitch because surely he knows how to use it but he didn't want it or maybe he forgot it but surely you don't know things that for others are baby things
This is actually scary. You totally should have done this in the day and had some proper gear with you. I was anxious AF watching this. Oh and yeah I agree the cameraman was shody and a little insensitive in this.
We’re all here for you boogie don’t feel like a failure I know how I feels to lose things man it’s a tough world out there but we’re all here for you! 🖤
I remember back in 2014. Me and my Dad went up to Minnesota to see my half sister. It was my first time up there and he wanted me to see the old farm he grew up on when he was a kid, before it was torn down. The place was in ruins and was also overgrown with trees. Earlier this year, it was torn down. I'm glad I got to see it before it was gone forever.
He needs to eat a humble pie and get out of LA once and a while to see how people live outside of a big city.. he looks down on people and he gives off this presence that all of those people that live in that town are beneath him. It really felt like it took away from boogies experience there.. you could tell that boogie was getting frustrated with him.
Same for me, I was born and raised in Ireland for the first 3 years of my life. Anytime I participate in anything Irish my accent starts to show. But to be fair it also happens when I’m extremely angry or drunk
boogie I've been a viewer of you for quite sometime. I have to say and I'm sure I can speak on behalf of most of us your fanbase that I am so proud of you. seeing the transform you have undergone is amazing. you look amazing. thank you taking us with you on this journey. you are a warrior a hardened soldier with a heart of gold. god bless you man keep up everything you are doing.
Boogie, I've been following you since 2016. I lost my mom in 2015 pretty tragically and your content has been so healing for me. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story.
This reminds me of when I entered my great grandma’s abandoned house. She died back in 2010 and I went in her house somewhere in Mexico recently and found old photos and I started feeling sad when I went to the back of the house and saw a beautiful flower garden.
I can only imagine half the emotions you have gone through. Thank you for bringing us along. Do not ever blame yourself for the disrepair of the home. You did what you felt was right, taking care of yourself and your mental well being. Retrospectively you did the right thing for yourself, even if right now you have regrets. Best wishes!
I just came back from the third part of the video on storyfire wow. Boogie I've always respected you and you are such an amazing guy. You've helped me through so many tough times and I hope to take some of your experiences with your mother and use them to learn how to better deal with my own father. Thank you so much dude. Been watching for almost 8 years now and I'm so glad I've been here and I'm gonna stay
I wish you had done this series with someone other than Jesse. Despite that, it’s very interesting and emotional to see. You can be really proud of yourself for doing this, I hope you can feel it too. ❤️
This video and the house literally looks like the resident evil 7 house lol. I feel like an old crazy man is going to appear and say “welcome to the family son”
Hey, man. I'm glad you're shedding light on this part of the country. I know you were from St. Paul. I lived in Coeburn for a few years and know exactly what it is like. Most people don't know that it is so removed from society and how bad it really is. Thank you for doing this and I'm proud of you for taking this adventure to meet your demons head on.
I still think about this regularly whenever I see him or his content. I can't help but still get mad over it, it really goes to show that he really is the a$$ people make him out to be and why he's had so many fallouts with youtubers and his cameramen over the years, shame
I just cant believe someone trash the place. What is wrong with you people? Is this your ideal to trash a place? I would of wanted boogie to see it locked and just dust but left as it was. Sad
This is probably the most inspiring person I've ever seen. I cant comprehend on your story. You been through the lowest, at least what you've described, and climbed miles out of it. I adore your perseverance, you are amazing and your fans love you for it
I always go back to the old houses I used to live in to bring back memories. but it's really sad that the place is a wreck..and we always makes mistakes in our life .but you had the chance to see for yourself.and of what you did will make you stronger .so feel for you!
@@rugger8787 People from the south often try to hide their natural accents to be more "professional", but when in the presence of family or under stress their natural accent leaks out anyway.
megamannt125 I don’t hide mine, it naturally leaves on its own and then when I’m around people who speak the same way, it comes back. I never sought to hide it, but admittedly it was never as strong as some southern accents.
Boogie, I know you feel bad because someone could have used it. It looks like someone did. I guarentee at one point some homeless person stayed there and got at least one night out of the cold. All that damage didn't happen at once and it didn't happen by itself. A person had to do it. That fire in the kitchen could have kept someone warm for a night. Not all the intention was ill. It might not have helped the long run but it might have helped someone survive for a little while. I hope that helps a little. We love you very much, thanks for reading.
The far more harsh probability is that what had been said was true. Spiteful or stupid children coming along and trashing the place. Thieves looking for valuables, and in all humans being hateful creatures. Maybe someone just looking to survive did wind up there once, but if they did, they didn't do anything besides get out of the rain and maybe start a fire if it was fall or early spring. Nothing like what had been done in there.
@@Ambassador1701 Just trying to think outside the box. Maybe the fridge was supposed to be like a pit and the fire was only supposed to stay in it so not to burn down everything? I dunno. I wasn't there.
my mom's old house is overgrown and probably needs to be demolished too. She and I never got along. I know there is old stuff there from my past, but i honestly never want to go back to that place again. I just want to cut off all emotional ties I ever had to the place and I'm honestly ashamed it was ever a part of my life. I know people may disagree with that approach but it's just how I feel.
When emotion overpowers us we revert to our original accent. We can here that now. Boogie it takes courage to even do this and the heart of a lion to share it.
15:45 That response really spoke to me, man. Much love, and I hope that you are able to fix it up and make that place a house where someone else can make new memories.
It's interesting to see your past and your reaction. I can also tell that your accent has changed. Almost like your speaking like you did before you left.
I just watched part 3 on Storyfire and let me tell you people, it's a must watch! The app and the video is free so you literally have no reason not to go watch it. It is so power and moving. I had tears welling up through half of it...thank you Boogie! Now I wanted to comment this on Storyfire, but their comment box only allows a very small amount of characters so I will write my message here. Thank you so much for sharing this entire experience with us. I have got to know you and watch you grow over the years through RUclips and can't tell you how excited I am for you to start this next chapter in your life and how proud I am of you for overcoming so many demons and continuing to improve not only yourself but all of us who watch your content. You are an inspiration to us all. I really wish I was able to meet you in person when you were in Virginia. Hopefully I will get the chance to meet you in the near future. Can't wait for the next video. All the best, Brandon.
0:20 Man people like that being so snobby, is it just me of was she very rude in her tone when she replied? I love how Boogie wasn't even phased, he is past it, or used to it, if the latter, it is sad. Love you boog.
Bro I love the woodbooger grill. I obviously don’t know what you had but the burger with the fried Mac n cheese on it is literally the best. Glad to have you back in the area for any length of time bud. 👍👍
My prayers are with you and I hope that all you want in life flourish you in a positive motion always look forward to the next day for the bad times fade and makes the good days much more enjoyable
DL_000 used to see it all the time doing foreclose clean outs. People leave the things that you’d think would matter the most. Pretty much take anything worth a few bucks an leave. You’d think someone would grab the teacher awards and old pictures that you see left but nope. Seen it plenty of times. It’s kinda sad to see.
Boogie this was very brave if you to do, you have my love and support as a fan and I hope this trip gave you closure. Also you still have the land, the house May be beyond repair but you could always tear it down, clear all the plant growth, and sell the land, or build up a new home, one that can house good memories for someone.
I don’t mean to be mean as well, but he was being honest and agreeing with boogie of what he said. He might not be the supportive type, but somehow boogie likes being with him
I definitely think Jessie was the wrong person to take for this, but he wasn't wrong. Boogie in that moment needed to own this mistake and not blame it on anyone else.
@@mrs.schrado7421 No, no way. Not me. I would never do that to a friend. This "It's true therefore it needs to be said" is total bullshit to me. At the very least he could've just shut up. I would've told him that it was perfectly understandable that he didn't want to have anything to do with that place during those difficult years, with all that he already had to go through. That this was the right time to go there now because he is so much stronger than he was before. That in any case there is no use in dwelling on the past. This to me is what a friend does in those situations. Anybody can tell you "the truth" whatever that means.
@@terminationshock1356 It was definitely understandable that he waited! I was just thinking the fastest track to healing is owning it, no matter the circumstances that caused it, so it can be dealt with and move on.
On the one hand, it kills me to see your old photos thrown away. That's priceless history there. But on the other hand, I totally understand the need to forget things from your past. My past wasn't a fraction as bad as yours, but there are a lot of memories I would delete if I could. Maybe you should salvage the photos but give them to Jesse or a fan. Looking at stuff like that is really helpful for those of us who grew up feeling like we were the only ones in the world who weren't "normal".
When I was in 5th grade we lived in a house. We have always lived in apartments or with family. We finally were able to have a home of our own. We lived in that house for two years. Until my father got really heavy into drugs (he was always addicted but in and out of the addiction) and eventually caused us to lose our home. We couldn’t pay our mortgage so my dad decided to abandoned our home and leave our city. My sisters still live in our hometown and one day after years later she drove me by our old home. I cried. It was exactly how I remembered and I so desperately wanted to go inside. She told me how she had to sneak in and grab her stuff after 1 month of us abandoning it. She was living with my grandma at the time. She said the house looked like it was stuck in time. Clock on the wall stuck at a random time, kitchen table with plates and forks setup for our last meal there. Our beds a mess from getting up early that morning. Posters that we had in our bedrooms still on the wall. The way we left has always left me with a hole in my heart. I get emotional every time I think about it. Thank You for doing this Boogie. It really makes me feel some closure with you.
This is without a doubt one of my new favorite videos of Boogies. Brought me to tears! Especially the exclusive story fire episode. You all need to go watch that!
Jesse seems to be grounding Boogie in the present as well as playing off Boogie in these videos. Also, would or could Boogie have done these videos without Jesse?
You are an amazing person. You don't know how many people you have helped by doing this, Boogie. ❤️ Thank you. You have a soul that is meant to help others. I think that's why you're here
Guess I'm that similar person now. My father died this week, after six bouts of cancer, two days ago. James Edwin Cotter never complained about his shortcomings, and though he didn't nearly live through as much of his troubled Cherokee-Irish and English artist past, as you did; my dad taught me through starvation, emptiness, and the like, that you let a greater experience from the self, take-over. Your freedom ain't from the camera; it is from self-actualization. Go dad; James Edwin Cotter. His brother, Russell, was essentially you, only 25 yrs. older, and a 6'7" 465 lbs. Star Trek guy. My uncle taught me how to work with computers, as well as to understand my Cherokee heritage. I guess that this message won't get through, but I hope so.
Been watching this man’s channel for years, I live through the darkest days at times, and something like this helps me want to understand why, but in a different situation. I hope one day I get to meet boogie and we shake hands and tell him how much I appreciate everything he’s shared with us all these years ongoing. . Keep moving forward man and hopefully your worst past will see a fearless bright future, thanks
i would like to say thank you for sharing and thank you too Jessie most of all for supporting you and being there for you he is a true friend and your lucky to have him, i too have experienced abuse, physically and mentally, and im glad you have had some closure, i have kept myself numb for many years, and i haven't cried since 2008 since my brother died also, and watching your storyfire made me cry, so thank you boogie for being amazing and thank you for being you! many people love you for you. thats all i gotta say i wish i could say more
The best friends are ones that tell you how it is. Mcjug doesn't sugar coat a damn thing, and that's not a bad quality. I think he is the friend boogie needs right now. Don't make excuses for your friends, support them in bettering themselves.

Do fire departments actually do that?
ScoutSniper yes they can, they do with controlled fires
They could use it to practice search and rescue. Dont have to burn it for it to be useful to them

Oh and yeah I agree the cameraman was shody and a little insensitive in this.
Who Jesse? 😂

We’re all here for you boogie don’t feel like a failure I know how I feels to lose things man it’s a tough world out there but we’re all here for you! 🖤
Boogie's "southern accent" once he heads to his hometown is so heartwarming
DapperPickle no matter what, it always comes back. I notice it myself when I’m hanging out with all of my moms family. It’s funny as hell.
I remember back in 2014. Me and my Dad went up to Minnesota to see my half sister. It was my first time up there and he wanted me to see the old farm he grew up on when he was a kid, before it was torn down. The place was in ruins and was also overgrown with trees. Earlier this year, it was torn down. I'm glad I got to see it before it was gone forever.
Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
I just saying these are memories you should take back home. Whatever's there. Their special memories.
I'm very sorry boogie, this touched. Dont know what to say.
I'm 2 minutes in and I'm annoyed with jesse already.
Why
He seems kinda disrespectful at times
He needs to eat a humble pie and get out of LA once and a while to see how people live outside of a big city.. he looks down on people and he gives off this presence that all of those people that live in that town are beneath him. It really felt like it took away from boogies experience there.. you could tell that boogie was getting frustrated with him.
Jacob Bulena he’s from New Jersey in the bumfuck nowhere
@@Guckious He needs to be honest with Boogie, hes not sugarcoating anything.
I love how the accent comes back when you get in town. Happens to me all the time. Former southerner here. lol
Same for me, I was born and raised in Ireland for the first 3 years of my life. Anytime I participate in anything Irish my accent starts to show. But to be fair it also happens when I’m extremely angry or drunk
@@insanejay3777 Everyones accent seems to get thicker when drunk, its a phenomenon
I love these personal videos and learning more about you boogie!
These are the types of vlogs you need to make more of boogie. Truly incredible to watch
Hey boogie, been watching your videos since 2010/11. Monumentally proud of how far you have come.
Thank you for being honest about your past. It's good to let that stuff out, I'm proud of you!
Despite what you went through in your childhood, what someone did to that house was complete disrespect.
boogie I've been a viewer of you for quite sometime. I have to say and I'm sure I can speak on behalf of most of us your fanbase that I am so proud of you. seeing the transform you have undergone is amazing. you look amazing. thank you taking us with you on this journey. you are a warrior a hardened soldier with a heart of gold. god bless you man keep up everything you are doing.
I'm so sorry man. Whoever destroyed this, I hope rots in hell.
I did it and I loved every second.
Boogie, I've been following you since 2016. I lost my mom in 2015 pretty tragically and your content has been so healing for me. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story.
This reminds me of when I entered my great grandma’s abandoned house. She died back in 2010 and I went in her house somewhere in Mexico recently and found old photos and I started feeling sad when I went to the back of the house and saw a beautiful flower garden.
Damn cool that the flowers were still growing she prolly made sure they were still alive
Love you Boogie, I hope you got through all this alright and can feel good once it's all done with.
Sad that boogie gets instantly demonetized
I had adds play when I viewed.
youtube is trash
I just got a double ad
@@connor3371 yeah by RUclips itself sometimes RUclips will take a non monetized video place an add so RUclips makes some money
Hellraiser988 thats dumb
I can only imagine half the emotions you have gone through. Thank you for bringing us along. Do not ever blame yourself for the disrepair of the home. You did what you felt was right, taking care of yourself and your mental well being. Retrospectively you did the right thing for yourself, even if right now you have regrets. Best wishes!
I just came back from the third part of the video on storyfire wow. Boogie I've always respected you and you are such an amazing guy. You've helped me through so many tough times and I hope to take some of your experiences with your mother and use them to learn how to better deal with my own father. Thank you so much dude. Been watching for almost 8 years now and I'm so glad I've been here and I'm gonna stay
I wish you had done this series with someone other than Jesse. Despite that, it’s very interesting and emotional to see. You can be really proud of yourself for doing this, I hope you can feel it too. ❤️
Whats wrong with jesse?
@@DraculaSSS Nothing wrong with Jesse. Just don't think he is the right person for this kind of content.
Lizz - why? He’s a great guy
I wish he did it with "Exploring With Josh" also, you know that mask is supposed to go over your nose right?
@@ClipDip74I have nothing against him. I just think he lacks the maturity and seriousness to be a real asset to this series.
This video and the house literally looks like the resident evil 7 house lol.
I feel like an old crazy man is going to appear and say “welcome to the family son”
Lol

Hey, man. I'm glad you're shedding light on this part of the country. I know you were from St. Paul. I lived in Coeburn for a few years and know exactly what it is like. Most people don't know that it is so removed from society and how bad it really is. Thank you for doing this and I'm proud of you for taking this adventure to meet your demons head on.
Boogie: it’s my damn fault
Jesse: yea
Where’s the moral support mate?
I still think about this regularly whenever I see him or his content. I can't help but still get mad over it, it really goes to show that he really is the a$$ people make him out to be and why he's had so many fallouts with youtubers and his cameramen over the years, shame
I just cant believe someone trash the place. What is wrong with you people? Is this your ideal to trash a place?
I would of wanted boogie to see it locked and just dust but left as it was. Sad
Well, it IS his fault.
This is probably the most inspiring person I've ever seen. I cant comprehend on your story. You been through the lowest, at least what you've described, and climbed miles out of it. I adore your perseverance, you are amazing and your fans love you for it
*buys mask to protect from mold*
*Leaves nose sticking out of it*
i mean... have you ever had to wear one...
you just cant breath well in them...
@@evilpotatoman9436 yeah, but you are usually wearing the mask for a very good reason. God knows what molds and mites are floating around that house.
Evil PotatoMan I have
I mean do you want your glasses fogged and going in blind? Dont think so, also they probably sprayed some of the house off camera
Get that table out of there and restore it man! Make something beautiful out of this unfortunate situation.
I thought the same thing, at least that seemed to bring back good memories amidst all the bad ones
I always go back to the old houses I used to live in to bring back memories. but it's really sad that the place is a wreck..and we always makes mistakes in our life .but you had the chance to see for yourself.and of what you did will make you stronger .so feel for you!
My old trailer park home is completely gone nothing there the neighborhood was torn down
I miss these days before covid 😭
"do you want to keep some, remember where you came from......"
"no, ill never forget"
Man Boogie that Southern accent is THICC as hell in this video. You must've been upset as hell for that to leak out.
megamannt125 what to leak out?? not to be rude
@@rugger8787 People from the south often try to hide their natural accents to be more "professional", but when in the presence of family or under stress their natural accent leaks out anyway.
megamannt125 good old code switching.
megamannt125 o thank you i couldn’t tell where i come from everyone talks like that
megamannt125 I don’t hide mine, it naturally leaves on its own and then when I’m around people who speak the same way, it comes back. I never sought to hide it, but admittedly it was never as strong as some southern accents.
"Hey Y'all, this food any good in here" That woman's face at 0:20 haha
Lmao she looked coked out.
Haha I figured if I looked I'd see a comment about this. She looked insulted or something.
I don't think she likes to be on camera probably....
She looked disgruntled 😂
@@thugasaurusrex6004 lol exactly my thoughts
Boogie, I know you feel bad because someone could have used it. It looks like someone did. I guarentee at one point some homeless person stayed there and got at least one night out of the cold. All that damage didn't happen at once and it didn't happen by itself. A person had to do it. That fire in the kitchen could have kept someone warm for a night. Not all the intention was ill. It might not have helped the long run but it might have helped someone survive for a little while. I hope that helps a little. We love you very much, thanks for reading.
The far more harsh probability is that what had been said was true. Spiteful or stupid children coming along and trashing the place. Thieves looking for valuables, and in all humans being hateful creatures. Maybe someone just looking to survive did wind up there once, but if they did, they didn't do anything besides get out of the rain and maybe start a fire if it was fall or early spring. Nothing like what had been done in there.
No offense but no one would start a fire on a fridge to stay warm.
@@Ambassador1701 Just trying to think outside the box. Maybe the fridge was supposed to be like a pit and the fire was only supposed to stay in it so not to burn down everything? I dunno. I wasn't there.
The people outside restaurant, smokin some weeeeed!
Boogie does
my mom's old house is overgrown and probably needs to be demolished too. She and I never got along. I know there is old stuff there from my past, but i honestly never want to go back to that place again. I just want to cut off all emotional ties I ever had to the place and I'm honestly ashamed it was ever a part of my life. I know people may disagree with that approach but it's just how I feel.
When emotion overpowers us we revert to our original accent. We can here that now.
Boogie it takes courage to even do this and the heart of a lion to share it.
Am I a bad person for thinking it might be a good thing that he found the house in this shape? He can finally move on from it.
Yo whats up Jeff fancy meeting you here, quite a different tone from camelots videos
@@rangerplayer3371 oh hiiii! Yeah this is pretty tough to watch.
Yeah it is if you haven't watched the rest on story fire i highly recommend it it does get pretty raw
He has a good reason to burn it all down and move on from it
@@rangerplayer3371 I've seen that hes getting a lot of negative criticism for that
Dude the entrance looks like Resident Evil 7's
Its weird how the southern accent comes back when you go home. Immersion in memory can bring back your old self.
Man going back and watching these videos was really good. I was one of the guys who spoke to you in St Paul from Appalachia from the first part
Bless you, Bless you, Bless you Steven Williams. I had a not so great childhood but this touched my heart like nothing else in a long time.
15:45 That response really spoke to me, man. Much love, and I hope that you are able to fix it up and make that place a house where someone else can make new memories.
It's interesting to see your past and your reaction. I can also tell that your accent has changed. Almost like your speaking like you did before you left.
I just watched part 3 on Storyfire and let me tell you people, it's a must watch! The app and the video is free so you literally have no reason not to go watch it. It is so power and moving. I had tears welling up through half of it...thank you Boogie!
Now I wanted to comment this on Storyfire, but their comment box only allows a very small amount of characters so I will write my message here.
Thank you so much for sharing this entire experience with us. I have got to know you and watch you grow over the years through RUclips and can't tell you how excited I am for you to start this next chapter in your life and how proud I am of you for overcoming so many demons and continuing to improve not only yourself but all of us who watch your content. You are an inspiration to us all. I really wish I was able to meet you in person when you were in Virginia. Hopefully I will get the chance to meet you in the near future. Can't wait for the next video. All the best, Brandon.
0:20 Man people like that being so snobby, is it just me of was she very rude in her tone when she replied? I love how Boogie wasn't even phased, he is past it, or used to it, if the latter, it is sad.
Love you boog.
I mean he did point a camera in their face. My reaction would have been worse lol.
"*My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined*"
Bro I love the woodbooger grill. I obviously don’t know what you had but the burger with the fried Mac n cheese on it is literally the best. Glad to have you back in the area for any length of time bud. 👍👍
My prayers are with you and I hope that all you want in life flourish you in a positive motion always look forward to the next day for the bad times fade and makes the good days much more enjoyable
Anyone else notice boogie all of a sudden had a accent when he stepped in the door lol
It's kinda sad to see a house (a life) full of memories, photos, and accomplishments just go to ruins :/
DL_000 used to see it all the time doing foreclose clean outs. People leave the things that you’d think would matter the most. Pretty much take anything worth a few bucks an leave. You’d think someone would grab the teacher awards and old pictures that you see left but nope. Seen it plenty of times. It’s kinda sad to see.
DL_000 used to see kids rooms full of toys and they’re stuff just left behind. That was he worst
I mean they definitely weren’t very great memories so idk about it being sad
@@rachelmoody6882 yeah but the greatest person in his life lived here, whoever did this was sick and twisted
3:27 this in july 2019... little did they know.
Boogies accent comes alive!! "If he's kin to me than he's crazy"
Boogie this was very brave if you to do, you have my love and support as a fan and I hope this trip gave you closure.
Also you still have the land, the house May be beyond repair but you could always tear it down, clear all the plant growth, and sell the land, or build up a new home, one that can house good memories for someone.
20:03
Boogie: "It's my damn fault"
Douchebag: "Yeah"
I don’t mean to be mean as well, but he was being honest and agreeing with boogie of what he said. He might not be the supportive type, but somehow boogie likes being with him
I definitely think Jessie was the wrong person to take for this, but he wasn't wrong. Boogie in that moment needed to own this mistake and not blame it on anyone else.
Mrs. Schrado yeah, Exactly
@@mrs.schrado7421 No, no way. Not me. I would never do that to a friend. This "It's true therefore it needs to be said" is total bullshit to me. At the very least he could've just shut up. I would've told him that it was perfectly understandable that he didn't want to have anything to do with that place during those difficult years, with all that he already had to go through. That this was the right time to go there now because he is so much stronger than he was before. That in any case there is no use in dwelling on the past. This to me is what a friend does in those situations. Anybody can tell you "the truth" whatever that means.
@@terminationshock1356 It was definitely understandable that he waited! I was just thinking the fastest track to healing is owning it, no matter the circumstances that caused it, so it can be dealt with and move on.
I just watched part 3 on StoryFire and wow it shattered my heart I cried the entire time. I love you boogie! You are amazing
On the one hand, it kills me to see your old photos thrown away. That's priceless history there.
But on the other hand, I totally understand the need to forget things from your past. My past wasn't a fraction as bad as yours, but there are a lot of memories I would delete if I could.
Maybe you should salvage the photos but give them to Jesse or a fan. Looking at stuff like that is really helpful for those of us who grew up feeling like we were the only ones in the world who weren't "normal".
When I was in 5th grade we lived in a house. We have always lived in apartments or with family. We finally were able to have a home of our own. We lived in that house for two years. Until my father got really heavy into drugs (he was always addicted but in and out of the addiction) and eventually caused us to lose our home. We couldn’t pay our mortgage so my dad decided to abandoned our home and leave our city. My sisters still live in our hometown and one day after years later she drove me by our old home. I cried. It was exactly how I remembered and I so desperately wanted to go inside. She told me how she had to sneak in and grab her stuff after 1 month of us abandoning it. She was living with my grandma at the time. She said the house looked like it was stuck in time. Clock on the wall stuck at a random time, kitchen table with plates and forks setup for our last meal there. Our beds a mess from getting up early that morning. Posters that we had in our bedrooms still on the wall. The way we left has always left me with a hole in my heart. I get emotional every time I think about it. Thank You for doing this Boogie. It really makes me feel some closure with you.
Seeing these abandon houses always legit creep me out .
This is without a doubt one of my new favorite videos of Boogies. Brought me to tears! Especially the exclusive story fire episode. You all need to go watch that!
19:56 Boogie’s true Southern accent shines through. “It don’t make no sense.”
I like how in the first video, Jessie's a b**** and doesn't wanna do anything. Second video, Jessie's like "let's sleep there bro!"
Jesse seems to be grounding Boogie in the present as well as playing off Boogie in these videos. Also, would or could Boogie have done these videos without Jesse?
I like that Eagle’s Landing reference lol. Such a great series I believed as a middle schooler lol.
Another adventure in boogies past, this is something to remember!
You are an amazing person. You don't know how many people you have helped by doing this, Boogie. ❤️ Thank you. You have a soul that is meant to help others. I think that's why you're here
Awh this positivity made my day 😩 so very sweet!
Guess I'm that similar person now. My father died this week, after six bouts of cancer, two days ago. James Edwin Cotter never complained about his shortcomings, and though he didn't nearly live through as much of his troubled Cherokee-Irish and English artist past, as you did; my dad taught me through starvation, emptiness, and the like, that you let a greater experience from the self, take-over. Your freedom ain't from the camera; it is from self-actualization.
Go dad; James Edwin Cotter.
His brother, Russell, was essentially you, only 25 yrs. older, and a 6'7" 465 lbs. Star Trek guy. My uncle taught me how to work with computers, as well as to understand my Cherokee heritage. I guess that this message won't get through, but I hope so.
Been watching this man’s channel for years, I live through the darkest days at times, and something like this helps me want to understand why, but in a different situation. I hope one day I get to meet boogie and we shake hands and tell him how much I appreciate everything he’s shared with us all these years ongoing. . Keep moving forward man and hopefully your worst past will see a fearless bright future, thanks
Was he paying property taxes the whole time? Wouldn't the municipality or county or whatever have taken over the property if he didn't?
i would like to say thank you for sharing and thank you too Jessie most of all for supporting you and being there for you he is a true friend and your lucky to have him, i too have experienced abuse, physically and mentally, and im glad you have had some closure, i have kept myself numb for many years, and i haven't cried since 2008 since my brother died also, and watching your storyfire made me cry, so thank you boogie for being amazing and thank you for being you! many people love you for you. thats all i gotta say i wish i could say more
Helping a friend through a tough time and experience like that, is the definition of a true friend
I wasn't really a fan of the camera man in this. His jokes weren't funny and he often seemed insensitive.
@@Rozmic I doubt this was scripted (aside from the cameraman's bad/insensitive jokes).
yeah, mcjuggernuggets is pretty insensitive in this.
Jesse really isn't insensitive in this. Jesse has NO idea how to feel, except to help Boogie face his past life and have closure.
@@Darkmage4 Boogie "It's my fault for doing this" Nug "Yeah...". Pretty simple social etiquette fucked there
The best friends are ones that tell you how it is. Mcjug doesn't sugar coat a damn thing, and that's not a bad quality. I think he is the friend boogie needs right now. Don't make excuses for your friends, support them in bettering themselves.
This little series should have a million views. I love this stretch of different content. Love you bro! Thanks for sharing
