Never thought this 36 year old dad would be sat here crying to an Imp and Skizz podcast. Thank you for sharing your story, BDub

[@mkbean]

Hard same!

[@Angieb303]

Seriously, I am a 42 year old Mom who watches Hermitcraft and the Life serious and this guy so hard, but in the best possible way. Love can get you through anything and BDubs shows that.

[@janelgoolsby2135]

56 year old Grandma here! I have a chronic pain disorder, so I spend a lot of time in bed watching KZbin. I stumbled upon the life series one day. Now I am here, lol. Love these guys! I even started playing minecraft!

[@chad7129]

I am 40 and have watched Bdubs from the beginning and enjoyed every second of it.

[@qocket]

I really didn't expect Bdubs to talk about his 3rd daughter, but I'm glad he still dedicates and will continue to dedicate the happiness he brings to other people to her memory.

[@kcattattack]

Bdubs' mic matches up with the end of Impulse's stand so well it played a mind trick on me

[@ashtondoublet8334]

Wow thanks for pointing that out. It's actually kinda cool.

[@mistercheeks]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's brain made that connection.

[@compdude551]

I thought he was in the room for a second!

[@saruwatarisa]

Oh god yes! I'm glad somebody commented this It was sooo good I thought they're making it look like so they provided him his mike even tho it's vid call xD

[@frumpyb]

And well staged with bDubs looking like he's looking at them even while on screen and then also looking to our, the audience's camera while still on screen. Even pointing with the cliffhanger line at the end. Well done on the set up. Really adds to it.

[@lilnintendo]

"In part two, I'll tell em a bit about my OF." Bdubs is such a trip 😂

[@quinntaylor1170]

I can’t believe he went there! That was hilarious!!

[@teentraveler1790]

What's OF?

[@Jaxta1999]

I absolutely love Bdubs’ camera angle it looks like he’s actually looking at skizz and impulse ☺️🥳🎉

[@saffral]

And at the camera we're looking out of too, I get the feeling that he worked on that before with them, maybe even putting stickers or something on where the different things he wanted to look at were. Unless Bdubs has some sort of ultrawide monitor where it's wide enough for that.

[@kolpy_Uno]

it even looks like his mic is on the other end of Impulses mic arm

[@truckerdave8465]

Bdubs has such a story. He’s the silliest goofiest man with such a depth of sincerity. I cry every time I hear his story. As a mom who was told I have a high chance of my baby having Trisomy 18, I know a bit about how that feels. I got lucky, but there was a week I didn’t know. Thank you for talking about that. It just shows how huge your heart is.

[@Roescoe]

I had totally forgotten about his daughter. Wow that story hit like a ton of bricks. Had to take a 10 min break. How strong he became. Something on God and family could help him through. Extremely beautiful showing of love.

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

I loved how Bdubs would zoom past random players on his horse and he would just say "NYAAaaoooooow"

[@JackJohnenZydrate]

I watched bdubs for a long time, and when he told us about ivy, I was sobbing at my computer. Just had my own daughter, I think she was like 8 months old at the time. I couldn't imagine as a father going through that then, and still can't. When his first video came out after, i cried again. I knew hed made it through, and found a reason to keep going. He's always been such an amazing man, and he's someone whom I've tried to be more like. Love you man. Hell, all three of you are amazing. Thank you for consistent inspiration, even as a 36 year old.

[@sanautin]

Well said!

[@SynchroniSydney]

I had no idea how much we should be thanking bdub’s wife for giving him the push to take KZbin seriously. How awesome it must be to have support from her!

[@SenorEscaso]

They used to do vlogs, and she was always so great.

[@malix11gaming10]

Favorite B-Dubs line ever, "You'll speak when spoken to!"

[@mad_maddie]

I just have to say that I'm not bothered at all when you guys split the guest appearances into two episodes. It's the opposite. When I'm sad that the episode is about to end and you say that there will be more it's the best thing ever. Yay, more Bdubs next week!

[@shaunacall4685]

Ditto…we just have to practice patience knowing the episode is already been recorded but we have to wait a week! LOL

[@iver7473]

agreed!

[@HeatherKraafter]

I came to see this comment and agree!!

[@MoonlitBookworm73]

Exactly! I also love that the two episodes usually show two different sides of the guest because I like learning more about the person in general rather than just the KZbin side of them!

[@Chigger]

Same here. I like to listen when I'm doing chores.

[@shaunacall4685]

Hermitcraft has put together a group of amazing humans, they are just good humans and I love them all.

[@MikeHeath]

Epic. Bdubs isn't just an entertainer, he's a genuine role model.

[@gadsdenviking4159]

Bdubs is the best. I remember the video he released about his daughter when they found out and I cried. Not gonna lie, I just cried again. One of the best things about creators like Bdubs or Scar or TFC or any of the other peeps, you all are part of the family even if you don't know us, we feel like we know you. We all appreciate you for being part of our lives.

This comment is for BDubs. I've watched you as a hermit crafter/youtuber for several years. I have a living son with Trisomy 13. Your story brought me to tears and touched my heart so deeply because I know exactly what it is to be on the receiving end of those conversations. Thank you so very much for sharing. I am so happy that you've found a way through the grief to bring so much joy to your videos and community is a really beautiful legacy. From one T13 family to another, I wish for continued strength to you and your family even as the years continue to go by.

[@Trauma284]

Hearing bdubs sing. Just further pushes my thoughts that the hermits need to make a band.

[@kiri92azel]

At least more colab songs that the amazing fans can "play" whit! (Make animation for, remake and mix)

Xisuma bass, bdubs guitar and vocals, impulse on drums? Then Joe can do his haiku reading sessions too! Am I missing anyone?

[@piorfino]

The strongest people are those who turn adversity into drive. The Bdubs' and Scar's of the world who are faced with such tremendous adversity and see it not as an obstacle but as a motivator to put as much good into the world as possible. It is beyond inspiring to me to see someone like Bdubs turn what for some would be the most devastating tragedy into a life defining mission to keep moving forward. I cannot express enough how grateful and lucky I am to have role models like Bdubs. @Skizz you said you are seeing a new side of Bdubs today and I want to challenge that a bit. I think the fire that this trauma instilled in him is very evident in every recording. I think it's clear that his passion and drive show through every time he sits down to make content. Now we just have the privilege to see the source of that passion.

[@filbertovandette]

I came....i saw ... I laughed....i cried....that was an incredible podcast, gentlemen. Im wore out after that.....time to schweep...

[@Eryn-oo2me]

Literally me

[@EuropesNinja]

It’s kinda strange but I almost view Bdubs as a father figure in my life. I watched him through some very dark times and his advice during building with Bdubs planted seeds for getting out of em. He’s one of the goats of Minecraft let’s plays. And his cities skylines series I’ve rewatched twice or three times. He’s a king and his view on family really inspires me.

[@trash__queen]

That's exactly how I feel about impy and skizz

[@TiffaniDutton]

Same on all parties. They are bloody goals.

[@flippinharmon2933]

Oh, BDubs. I, too, have lost a child. I feel ya, man. And thank you for the way you honor your daughter's memory, because we get to SEE it in the content you create and share with us. ❤

Skizz is right. The pedestal for bdubs just raised even higher. His willingness to be so vulnerable and raw. Thank you gentlemen.

[@jennewing2751]

Best interview yet. As a mother, I can’t tell you how much respect I have for BDubds. I knew about Ivy, but wasn’t sure he would mention her….his strength and ability to turn that pain into a tribute in her honour is one of the most admirable qualities in him. His character and strength are why I will always be a loyal viewer! Looking forward to part 2!

[@JaRyCu]

I still remember when Bdubs posted the "Pray for BDubs" video about his daughter. I watched it immediately, and I cried almost throughout the entire thing. Listening to BDubs recount part of that story today brought back those memories (and some of those tears), and it serves as a good reminder to me of how the most tragic things we can go through can help to make us stronger if we just keep going and come out the other side. I especially loved today how he said that he didn't want the memory of his daughter to be the reason he quit doing this... I've looked up to him and now I look up to him even more. Thank you Imp & Skizz for giving him somewhere to tell his story again.

[@OscarLikesArt]

Damn. Wasn't expecting something this deep. Especially the daughter part really moved me since I hadn't heard that before. Just makes me respect Bdubs even more.

[@atlaslovesfrogs]

Bdubs is one of the sweetest KZbinrs I know. His audience is insanely diverse and it brings people together I feel. I'm 14 myself, and I'll see people older than me and younger sharing a wholesome moment.

[@pokemonjjetv4091]

I'm 31 years old with a 13 year old daughter (Yes, we were young) Whenever bdubs talks about losing their daughter its brings tears to my eyes, i couldnt imagine losing a child. Much love and respect for you bdubs, love your content and your ability/motivation to push forward.

[@kitherit]

This is my first Imp and Skizz Podcast to watch, but I'm so very glad I did. I'm a 46 year old woman who has felt lost my entire life. I'm single, no kids, and unable to work for a variety of reasons. But just at the end of last year I was finally given a solid diagnosis of ADHD, and put on ADHD meds for the first time in my life. As my Mother has said, I just never found my feet, so to speak. But now I finally feel like maybe I can figure out what to do with my life. I've also been a lifelong PC gamer. Or rather, lifelong if you consider I didn't have access to a computer until I was a teenager. 😅 Gaming has always been my escape from reality. I've done a bit of streaming and video making in the past. But now I'm trying to take up streaming more often. Dunno if I'll ever gain any kind of an audience, but it gives me something to do, and a platform to talk to people. I guess what I'm saying is I can relate to so many of the things you guys talked about, especially as you're close to my age. I love all three of you guys, and have watched a lot of your content. But now I love all you guys even more. Thanks for sharing your stories, and giving someone like me some insight and inspiration for where I might want to take my own path. 💜

By far the best and most personal interview yet. I'm 55 and i cried with Bdubs. So proud of you for giving your daughter every chance for success. Thank you Imp and Skiz, I love you Bdubs.

[@jametrics]

I really appreciate this podcast. Especially when things got deep and sad and reflective. I had a really tough 2023 losing my job my father, my daughter having brain surgery, and my wife losing her grandmother. Sometimes it's difficult to roll with the valleys that come. But hearing that other people have also existed in those valleys makes it more manageable especially when it's people that you have watched for some time and feel connected to. Thank you for doing these.

[@shovel241]

As a creator who just finished their first “official” year as a KZbinr- this hits. Hard. Every word from Bdubs, Imp, and Skizz was like listening to the tape that’s been on a loop in my head for the past 12 months. And it just further increases my respect for creators that burn bright while not burning out. Thank you 3 for this episode, I look forward to more like it. Subscribed :)

[@robertbriggs5930]

I’ve commented on the video in the past about when you lost your daughter Bdubs but just wanted to say again watching this video here. Earlier that year my wife and I had a miscarriage and lost a child ourselves and it was incredibly hard, and I mean I loved watching your vlogs and seeing you be dad and a husband and I admired you for that but when you shared that story back then it helped me see that my struggles I was having wasn’t unwarranted, like Skizz said people want us to man up and get back to work keep going etc. and you really helped me through those emotions and that struggle and I felt connected to one of my favourite people that I really looked up to. Thank you for everything you do and I am grateful for you and what you do.

July 7th 2017 I lost my 6 mth old son Bowen this podcast spoke to me in such a meaningful way I love what bdubs does and who he is and what this has made him into because it is so easy to just give up. But we as fathers need to keep loving and living. Thank you for the vulnerability and just being you.

[@deborahsheets2604]

[@Anonymous_Dab]

1:00:32 i went back about a year ago and watched the video of Bdubbs explaining this story and i cried like a baby.

[@kkinn33]

I remember when Bdubs posted the video about Miss Ivy. It was the first time I sob cried for someone I didn't really know. I knew intimately all the pain and loss, 7 years prior.. it's still difficult at times. I'm glad you didn't throw in the towel, bdubs. We strive to make our parents proud, until we have to make life successful to honor of our children. So their too short life wasn't in vain. ❤️ Great podcast guys. Much needed today.

[@jasonolson7966]

I very nearly started crying at work listening to Bdubs talk about that horrible loss again. I suspected it might come up, and I thought I was ready for it, but every time I hear it, I just feel so much empathy for Bdubs. It's so hard to even relive that as a viewer, I can't imagine how much harder it is for Bdubs to recount that.

[@dragonladyusps]

I cried back then with B dubs and his daughters passing, and did again today with him.

[@Ximoc]

I took the ‘suck it up’ mentality a bit too much to heart, to the point where I am no longer me, I have been lost in a shell of my former self through trauma. I HAD to put on a happy face through my depression a few years back. Now, I’m having to do that masking again, no one knows, apart from you who reads this comment. Much Love

[@jyleelee]

I love watching Bdubs, his energy and positivity is always so infectious. Even when he's talking about the more candid parts of his life. Thank you so much for this, it was a fantastic episode. I'm a pretty new listener to this podcast. Not sure if you've had him on, but I'd love to see one with Rendog

[@LaGrenouille09]

I loved BDubs personality before this podcast, but I admire him so much more for being so vulnerable with his grief. People who have experienced such trauma and go on to create light and laughter for others are the most incredible souls.

[@vaminuteman]

I've been a BDubs subscriber for a while and I have to say that after watching this "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for watching. I love ya to death and we'll see you in the next episode." hits on a much deeper level. Thank you for your vulenerablility and all the fun stories. Thank you Imp and Skizz for giving us a more personal look at the other Hermits.

[@slitterell]

Every time I hear bdubs talk, it gives me more respect for the man. Made a grown man cry today! I really appreciate that guy

[@teshtishtoshtesh3218]

Yessss, I can sense Jerry Lewis and Looney Toons in those iconic BDubs moments. Great interview, thank you for working this out!

[@teshtishtoshtesh3218]

Oh, and yes, I think anyone who is self-employed, tinkering about with entrepreneurship can relate to the "my brain doesn't stop" problem, and learning how to relax. I ran my own little company for a while and it never really was enough to pay the bills, but I still had to keep at it. I still can't relax, since I work contract work and I'm never sure when that will stop working and I get stuck with a few months that we have to live off of savings. It's just part of being a provider.

[@krunkjunk]

Thank you Bdubs for the open and vulnerable discussion! Some people seem like they would rather die than actually just talk about what is real to their experience but I think it's so important especially in the social media world where it seems like everyone puts on a facade of the life highlight reel.

[@Sasspen]

Wow I didn’t expect to cry clicking onto this podcast. My respect for Bdubs I thought was maxed but it just reached a new level. You are doing your sweet baby girl justice 🤍 she would be so proud of how happy her daddy makes the world in her honor

[@lilnintendo]

Yup, I cried again over Bdubs' daughter's story. Yes, Bdubs, you are bringing joy to lives. We love you ❤

[@AliasEnigmatic]

That fact that Bdubs brought up GenyB is amazing because half the time, I feel like the Hermits don't really acknowledge him at all. I am not sure what happened between the Hermits and him, but i'm really happy to hear that Bdubs still talks to him and such. Very cool.

[@swiftlymurmurs]

I don't think anything really happened between them. Truth of the matter is, Genny left very early on in the real development of Hermitcraft. He set up the server, invited the other people who would lay the groundwork, and moved on to Mindcrack. The server was slightly in disarray, lots of people joining and leaving, and it was Xisuma who took that and made it into Hermitcraft as it is now. Most of the people from the GenerikB era have moved on from Hermitcraft, I believe you can count the active members from that era on one hand, so the Hermits just don't have much of a close connection to him in that way

[@BelgradeAssassin]

It's really true what they say - "The prettiest smiles hide the deepest scars". Thank you for sharing this Bdubs, you are an inspiration. 🙏

[@jessiedhannah]

I have always been blown away by Bdubs and Mrs Bdubs being willing to share that vulnerable part of their lives. I always cry, but it's so inspiring to see someone who is on the other side of a very dark time. The hurt may always be there, but it doesn't have to rule your life.

[@fuyahanabi1304]

We are blessed with the Minecraft Bob Ross himself

[@jasonolson7966]

34:41, so when is the hermit band forming? We got Bdubs on acoustic and vocals, xisuma on electric guitar, I'm sure Joehills could be a good lyricist/writer, and impulse on drums. I'm sure there are others who could contribute! Make it happen!

[@ryanreklaw]

Doc dropped a tweet that he is planning to do a metal session with Xisuma for season 10 earlier today and shouted at Impulse that he wants him on drums... I think something will happen. A lot of great talent within the Hermits

[@bearpawdgamr2785]

Oh man. Discovering Hermits only a few months ago feels like such a personal crime! I'm so glad I know about them now because every one of them is so unique. Bdubs, thank you for being so kind and sharing some of your story.

[@nicktopinoplus8393]

I've been through child loss as well. We love to talk about him because it's really the only way he exists now but it makes people uncomfortable, so a lot of us love running into someone else who's been through it. It makes it easier to talk about it and even joke around because, well, If you know, you know. Thanks for that Bdubs.

[@mbalrog6]

My hats off to BDubs and his Wife. It is the spark of God within them that they can take the absolute Joy of getting at least 18 hours with a beautiful little Girl and turning that absolute gift from God into a source of motivation. To create beauty and joy in other lives because of the preciousness of life that was given to you for even a short period. Heaven, holds your daughter for you and your wife an in time will reunite you. Then what stories you will share as she see's the Joy you brought in her name! God Bless you, your Wife, and your children! A heart like that is destined for success, BDubs well deserved and may the Father continue to bless you and your family.

[@VanessaHBIC]

It's so easy to love BDubs because he is so relatable. Millions adore him yet he sees himself as just another person the same way many of us see ourselves. And I can relate so hard about receiving a gift or even smallest of accolades makes me highly uncomfortable. But enjoy acting a fool to keep people entertained and to make others laugh. I very much adore this man 😊 Edit: bdubs wife I know will never read this but from one mother to another I think you're an amazing woman and an amazing mother ❤

As a now 25 year old, with 2 children it is very surreal to me that I started watching Bdubs when he was still relatively small. Minecraft was my favorite thing at the time but I'm also grateful to him because he introduced me to the NBA through his old NBA 2K playthroughs. The way he brought his energy to every game he played, just remembering it feels like it was yesterday watching them but it was nearly 8 years ago at this point. He truly is a generational talent and I'm so glad to be a fan of his

I recently stumbled across the "Why Pray for Bdubs?" video he posted about the tragic circumstances with his third daughter. Having two children myself, I can't even imagine how hard that time was for him. It's incredible that he was able to find his way back, and after learning about that part of his life I came to appreciate his content even more. A new Bdubs video is an event for me.

Thank you, BDubs, for opening up, making yourself so vulnerable & sharing your family's story with us. Didn't expect to cry in the gym today, but grateful for it. Been where you are.

I had started playing Minecraft around the end of Season 6, and as I settled into Hermitcraft as very relatable content, remember Bdubs' vid where he talked about his daughter. It compelled me to dig back farther, and I discovered he had uploaded all these nutty IRL fam vids. The one that sticks the most is him trimming back facial growth into multiple shapes while polling the missus on the look. Holy crap that was hilarious.

I was watching Bdubs do his family vlogs when he was going through the entire process with his daughter that passed. It was incredibly heartbreaking and moving. To see him show back up after going through that was inspirational and I think of it often. I lost my fiancee to cancer about a decade ago and I know how helpless one can feel. To anyone that thinks they are at their lowest, know that the rollercoaster eventually goes back up. Keep going.

[@dazzmead007]

You know I think I love this man even more now. Absolutely privileged to hear these stories and if there is ever a irl minecon I'm getting a hug off skizz, the greatest high five off impulse and I'm giving bdubs a hug! This was an amazing episode and I cant/have to wait for part 2!

[@diggintruths]

I love the set-up that BDubs had, he was making eye contact with both Imp and Skizz when speaking to them and also eye contact with the camera. That is true craftsmanship.

[@lewando7687]

All the laughs that bdubs give me mean so much. Remembering Ivy Rose 🌹❤

[@ShallWeRiot]

Excuse me im so busy today, thought id just watch a little while i had lunch, ended up watching the whole thing!! Insanely deep and introspective from Bdubs, and compassionate and encouraging without prying on imp & skizz's side. Genuinely a fantastic example of how to get meaningful content while still being graceful. Theyre really hitting their stride

[@Mocha_Me_Crazy]

Well, this is the first episode I absolutely sobbed. Even knowing that story before now, seeing his emotion was heartbreaking and inspirational. I miscarried my 2nd child so this hit home.

[@IdoesDoodles]

Being fairly newer to the Hermitcraft community in general(since season 8), I never knew about this part of Bdubs’ story. I always had a deep admiration for Bdubs ever since I started watching his content, now it has grown so much more ❤

[@tatekane]

Amazing start of the year with Bdubs. He took us on a journey, opened up about hard parts of his life gave us life lessons, career insights and laughter. He's such a humble guy but has this "I am perfect" humor that clearly is self-deprecating, so funny. He's very entertaining and not just his personality but also his editing and content. His builds are awe-inspiring... I should add more praise to make him more uncomfortable lol. Excited for part 2

[@miniciominiciominicio]

The first time I saw Bdubs was him falling down to Iskall, then they collabed together with Iskall building a home in his village base with a yes or no question that Bdubs failed, sending him down a pit to die from fall damage. I was an immediate fan and have been ever since. I watched that S6 episode where Bdubs talked about his youngest and eventually the algorithm put “Why Pray for Bdubs” in front of me. I bought the Ivy Rose white sweater in support. Yet I still cried and cried hearing him talk about it again, all the way to the end of the video. One of the things I respect so much about Bdubs is his true partnership and respect given to his wife. He is such a stand up guy and a truly great role model. Looking forward to part 2.

[@kalyntrombley6045]

I remember watching b-dubs video about their daughter and it broke my heart I had a three year old at the time and couldn’t imagine what they were going through.

[@ttokieddokie]

came in here for the laughs but leaving with so much tears 😭 the way he talks about his struggles juggling content creation and his family was something I never expected of him being one of the funniest youtuber out there. Bdubs is such an admirable family guy, huge respect to this man. 🙌

[@netbugtoo]

I already knew Bdubs' wife was cool from her participation in his advertising bits, but today I learned she's a friggin HERO and we wouldn't have tall funny voice man without her. Rock on queen Doubleo. 👑

[@thelegendarybarlowe0727]

I didn’t expect to watch this episode and cry. I’ve gone through losing a child early, and bdubs is spot on as soon as see the pregnancy test, you know that child is yours and you instantly fall in love with everything it is and everything it has the potential to be. And when that future is cut short it is so tough. I proud of you bdubs for getting through that segment and for keeping it in the video. And skizz handled it beautifully, so caring and tactful. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@robynchadwick3123]

The way bdubs is angled towards them on the couch and impulse’s mic arm makes it seem like it’s attached to bdubs’ mic as well. It makes it seem like he’s really there. I appreciate the effort ❤

[@kaj9869]

this episode has got to be top favorite so far. i got so pulled in with what value the entire discussion that transpired had, more than i expected to. it's almost 12 am right now in our contry and boy did this get me thinking so deep about life, my relationships with the people around me, and just what i've been doing. i applaud the "finding a balance" part because it evidently shows in bdubs character how much it shaped him to become the admirable person he is to his family, friends, and community. like just wow. moreover, (writing and editing this as i watch the episode, sorry) i'm just so awestruck how honest and vulnerable this episode was. i did not know this much information about bdubs an hour ago, and it truly made me respect him more than i already do. the way he has traversed life until now, obviously not without hardship, is so inspiring. how can a man be this strong and take on such a concrete perspective in life? i could never be 1/4 the person bdubs is. what a great man, really. loved this guest episode. cheers to life. ❣️

[@debgalloway9769]

Holy cow BDubs, tears in my eyes, holding extreme admiration for you and your family. I'm an older gal who dabbles in minecraft and obsessively watches Hermitcraft. I'm so aware of all of us having lives outside of what is presented online. Thankyou for keeping it real, and showing what it takes to balance all aspects of our lives.

[@arcanerogue]

B-Dubs, my heart breaks for you. Thank you for sharing your experiences and your struggles. It resonates so strongly with me, as my wife and I had a similar experience. I really get what you and Skizz were saying about guilt as a content creator too, and I struggle with it a lot. You guys are awesome.

[@ethanfosterYT]

Dude, Bdubs is just the best. I have so much respect for his vulnerability during this episode. Once again, I’m super inspired, not only by his creative abilities, but also by his personal character and dedication to his family. What a guy.

[@lukelinville917]

What a gem of an episode. I already had great respect for bdubs, but after watching, that has only grown. God bless the three of you! You bring so much joy to all of us.

[@jenwallace884]

Fabulous episode 👏 My face ached from the beginning, too much smiling 😁 loved hearing about Bdubs' influences. Huge thanks for leaving it in and sharing Ivy's story with us. My son had a difficult start, and the more we talk about issues like this, the more we can support and understand each other. Love to you and the entire family Bdubs, I'm glad you're back to make us laugh and inspire my Minecraft building (direct quote from my daughter: "Mum, you know you're not actually ON Hermitcraft right....", that's all you!)

[@christhompson1422]

man listening to Bdubs get real about life was amazing. I love seeing the curtan get pulled back. Its great to see that you are real people and have the same struggles we have.

[@johnoswald9143]

This was a heavy one, hearing Bdubs being so open and sharing some of the hardest times of his and his Family life. All can say is Bdubs has gave us hours upon hours of joy and thank you for being as strong as you are, it lifts us all up seeing someone bearing such a heavy load and pulling through. Thank you Impulse, Skizz and Bdoubleo100.
