i have never been so invested in a youtube video. This was an emotional rollercoaster

[@derekrose3328]

Craig this was inspiring to me. Having learned you struggle with depression from an interview tied to the Euthanasia record? Watching you wrestle this situation after taking a bet to invest in yourself? I myself struggle with severe anxiety, depression, and the anxiety triggers chronic migraine. And, I’ve been working my ass off on my own thing (not podcasts nor music). Fortunately, I’ve documented it all as some truly unthinkable, insane, awful shit has befallen Bryce & I. In my head, you & Stray are behemoths. Seeing you fight through this moves me, and invests me deeply. PLEASE feel free to speak about any of the bullshit you’ve had to fight through in life because this video is now saved in my •iPhone notes and •3 different playlists on my KZbin. Bryce & I have developed a working theory I’d care to pass on: that saying about “Murphy’s Law?” Well, Bryce & I have anthropomorphised the idea of Murphy. And, he’s heinous, but we’ve started to think of him as a gatekeeper. With that? Those who are truly onto something are the people he fucks with the hardest to see if they’re worthy of the badge. Three years ago it clicked, and we said, in the midst of DARK tidings, “… You know what? There had must be some PRETTY good shit on the other side of this, at our intended destination. Better than we can imagine, I bet you.” Every time we’ve thought that way? We’ve been proven correct. And, I’d say I’m grateful, but I’m not grateful for the heart attack, and Murphy can fuck right off, you know. Watching this play by play, and your decision making in spite of the anguish was fucking amazing man. Truly. Again, if you’d ever care to talk about other death defying things you’ve had to wrestle with and BECAUSE you give a shit about quality (from the content to the image)? Please speak freely on it, and do it in whatever style you’d prefer because I WOULD care to hear that ❤️‍🩹🙌 Thank you man 🤝❤️‍🩹

[@diegosolana374]

Always remember one thing: we’re here primarily for you and your guests. Not the gear. Don’t ever be discouraged to keep doing the podcast even with some 20$ mics and your Phone. Let’s goooo

[@SamiK1989]

Woooooooord!

[@Nichaos999]

VEEErrry true

[@dairoberts]

Dude, mad respect for every bit of this. For taking the risk in the first place, for persisting and overcoming and finally for sharing the process and taking us on the journey. Most people only share the glossy bits of their business but I really appreciate seeing the effort that goes into it all. Won’t go as far to say it was worth all the pain for the content, but at least it made for great content in the end. 👊

[@punxsutawneyphil3944]

Keep calm and always just ask yourself: What would Matt or Eloy do?

[@reynlord666]

luckily i had 3 hours to ask matt

[@rocioiribe5841]

​@@reynlord666called it. Matt G x3

[@Garage-1881]

​@@rocioiribe5841same same

[@andiemacht5925]

The ending was epic, so many emotions came through within the editing! Greetings from Germany ❤

[@mattbeauchamp5180]

Just from that clip alone, I can tell these episodes are going to be top-tier quality. Which is crazy because yours are already insanely high quality.

[@paulwingert9993]

Love Vloggerman 5000, fockin Legend

[@ednewmy]

Not wishing to laugh at your misfortune Craig but that ending, after the absolute high of finding the bag and the teaser of the pod, absolutely killed me. Bravo.

[@nmfwoodman]

Honestly....hands up, celebrations when u got that bag. Great vid. Well edited too....I felt the pain. Stoked you got it back on track. ❤

[@ericibaugh8231]

Nothing like seeing a Craig vid as soon as it’s posted >:)

[@KarlOsuchowski]

15:15 I legit let out an audible "F**K YEAH". 💜

[@andrewcorrigan9880]

Nooo?? You've got to be shitting me?! Surely it didn't happen again on the way home?!! It's bizarre how some trips are somehow doomed, specifically luggage and/or general smoothness, but so stoked to see things came together as well as they could.. just a couple of grey hairs maybe? 😜haha The quality of the quick snippet we got to see was top notch mate. Look forward to checking the casts!

[@afraidofthedarkco]

Glad to see it worked out. But also fuck you for giving me an anxiety ridden NIGHTMARE journey of a video haha

[@samwilkinsondrummer]

Dude, that was epic. Fair play for getting it sorted out. Persistence is key. Looking forward to the pods.

[@rolllimbo973]

Dude that was a rollercoaster but so happy it worked out in the end for you. Your hard work is paying off💪💪

[@christianmusician16]

I just got a blast beat shirt & signed up for the patreon. Would love to send you a picture of the shirt with the sleeves cut off (I am kinda muscular) if you see this - thanks!

[@coffeewcomrades]

The end of this video made me burst out laughing. Perfect comedic timing, as per usual. No notes.

[@ArtisanCyanide]

most tumultuous 16 minutes and 9 seconds of vlog I have ever witnessed. Big W.

[@SimonRileyDrums]

Yooo if you’re ever in LA and need production gear, a studio space, and/or someone to take care of the audio/visuals I can def help out👊🏻

[@BLUZEYY]

most entertaining vlog ive watched in a very long time 😅 congrats, keen for these pods lined up!

[@Jedithtv]

What a ROLLERCOASTER. I seriously felt so bad for you. Glad it all worked out dude.... nevermind just saw the last few seconds. RIP.

[@Simon-fj2wn]

Only commenting for the algorythm, who was the guest you had to cancel?

[@ericbeltrandrums]

Cinematic gold. Every bit. The emotional rollercoaster you went on. The excitement in your face when your gear finally landed. The CYE Outro leaving me gutted and laughing at the same time. I love this, please don’t stop.

[@sainsburmcmanus]

I laughed, I cried, I hid under the duvet, I cried again, I was jubilant, terrified and elated all during one video. The sacrifices are very much appreciated Craig, can’t wait for the pods!

[@nickmcshane1299]

I was on the edge of my seat for that! The pure joy of Cyndi Lauper in the car after collecting the bag was amazing

[@fernandalionn]

I laughed. I cried. This was a whole emotional whirlwind. I’m so excited for the Nashville episodes but I’m sorry to hear they lost your bags again 😂

[@Garage-1881]

Im so so sorry for all the stress @craigreynolds 😞 but SO HAPPY IT ALL GOT THERE FOR YOU ...only to lose your bags again....fuck bro what a rollercoaster 🖤🖤⚡️🖤🖤

[@Kisamehoshigaki777]

The relief I got when this all worked out at the end hahahaha. Congrats man

[@gavinotoole2864]

*OBVIOUSLY 1 BILLION TIMES MORE FOR YOU*, But this was the most stressful thing i've watched in a long time 😂 and thankfully it all worked out.

[@Legokisses]

I have N3VER been so 😵😵😵😱😱😱🎉🎉🎉🎉😨😱😡🤬 for a video.. And I need part 2 😂

[@AaronSmithDrums]

aw DUDE, the end result looks fucking beautiful. so happy things worked out in your favor. very grateful and looking forward to these conversations.

[@MMerdoc715]

Damn dude, I hope things improve and we get a chance to see the end products. Cheers. LIKE FOR THE ALGORITHM!!

[@petemartyn]

Just getting a look around the place was awesome! The giant hamburger! The Akira poster above your podcasting space! NOODLE! Seriously my man, so glad this nightmare of a week ended the way it did. Here's wishing you less stressful times ahead! But to echo what others here have said, we're here for you and the guests first and foremost. I'd still be watching even if you were filming in a parking lot on an old Camcorder.

[@quantumfluxuation]

I don't know if this helps but there is a chain of stores here in the US called Harbor Freight and you can get pelican case clones for like $80. We use them all the time as travelling aircraft mechanics for our gear. Hell, I have a brand new one I would send you. Edit: also I definitely complained about the shaky video on the last video and it's 100x better. Keep killing the game Craig!

[@chairchriss]

So, I am what you would consider a "not-so-important" viewer of your podcast, lol. I am only subcribed and not a patreon supporter. Anyways, I have never listened to your band, or many of the bands you have on. The few I do know, I watched your interviews on. You and your guests have such a good chemistry, and it's always fun to watch. These type of videos are also so fun to watch. You've almost inspired me to get your same haircut, because you look good af in it, lol.

[@DWoyster12]

What the hell did I just watch!? A filmproducer wouldn't be able to write this sh*t! Hopefully you will get all you stuff back again from the flight home. :O :< How many guests did you have to cancel? I hope it was still worth it in the end when you have the podcasts edited and finished.

[@puertoricodrum]

Appreciate your content for years now. That sounded very stressful, BA it's pretty bad. This is coming from a guy that while on my shift I saw a BA flight on the taxiway for 8 hours in MCO airport with no support.

[@cHr22o7]

Dude, i would have lost my absolute fucking mind if i where in your position .... holy fuck. The end btw was golden 🤣

[@DoogieH92]

Love the vlogerman5000 video, they are so raw unlike alot of other people's. I never know what I'm gonna see and that is exciting. Good shit as always Craig!

[@nickandreodrums]

Props to you man. Making s$%^ happen despite all the 6 stacked against you. Well done! Laughed at the gameboy colour comment 😂

[@sesh517]

Commenting for the algorithm, stoked for the future of the podcast and thank you SO much for these behind-the-scenes vlogs.

[@TheFallen4212]

No fucking way. The ending it. KILL ME also mad at myself for not watching this sooner

[@boogaethje]

Nashville is a great town. Great food, music everywhere, it’s 15 minutes to get anywhere you want to go in the city. L.A. is played out. People are grouchy af and you’re an 1 1/2 hours from anywhere you want to go in the city.

[@JustDunk]

Truly amazing video, you are indeed the man. But you knew that! Can’t wait to see the podcast room looks phenomenal!

[@NocolasLive]

overkill? depends on who you ask really. I've seen some really high profile shitty podcast setups. I think it's more a display your professionalism and respect for your guests and audience. But I'd also say to give yourself the flexibility to fly across and ocean, and do podcasts on 58s plugged into a Zoom handy recorder filmed on your phone. Just if you find yourself in a nightmare scenario such as this.

[@garethharris5521]

So stoked it came together for you. I might have PTSD from watching, but damn it was worth it!!!

[@ch0c0furi0us]

The end lmao I chocked on my noodles. Well did you found them again???

[@Turiyaband]

Sue the airline for breach of contract. Lost wages plus emotional damages for the missed episodes. They were negligent in not informing you of the switched flight. Also in losing your bag. Just because you salvaged what you could doesn't mean you weren't damaged by their negligence.

[@user-gu3ie]

Jesus christ, even oppenheimer didnt gave me this much stress😂 but like a goddamn disney movie, everything went good and you got a happy ending (not from jay)😂 love ya dude.. keep grinding

[@Guitargawd900]

Damn brother, I'm sorry that shit happened to you. My dads worked as a mechanic for the airlines for years, and he's told me horror stories like this with baggage. He was always telling me don't put all of your most important stuff into one bag because that's the one that will always get lost. Anyways, love the vlogs dude.

[@Broken_Wolf13]

Hope you got all your stuff back when you got home. These bloody plane companies taking liberties with your shit is just absolutely mental, as if you don’t have better things to be doing. Glad you got sorted stateside though and looking forward to seeing the podcasts as they drop 🤘🏻

[@lmao-rb6ci]

want to encourage you to keep up the hustle craig!

[@samdobson-oneal5113]

Fuck😅 That was like a great movie all in 16 minutes! Well done. Wicked outcome!! Keen for the new content

[@LilithSamhain]

I knew everything worked out but still the anxiety this gave me as I watched it unfold oof 😮‍💨

[@tsunamijesus]

fwiw next time you come to the states, most cities will have a decent rental house, and your clout would likely get you some preferential rates. I haven't bought production gear in a decade. is that not as common in the UK/Europe?

[@Deathmoans]

Fair fucking play for being so transparent about the finances of things. Not many people have the nuts to be honest about it. Love watching you grow everything from the sidelines. More life and more success to you mate❤

[@johnkenn1608]

Epic story my bruv. Very glad to see it kinda worked out still! P.s. algorithm

[@ScottChesworth]

You’ve gone beyond the humble pod, this is more like kamikaze-casting!

[@nunodarrell6606]

For some reason I’ve fast forward to 4mins and all I got was “hope I don’t shake too much…and 2 bags?” 😅

[@davidhorne1982]

Jesus... what a roller coaster! BA doing well again I see. The Matcha is lovely, try it!

[@pilmoor]

Hardest working and simultaneously the unluckiest podcaster in the game

[@jdion79]

oh that ending... FUCK haha! that was an emotional rollercoaster. ya know... satan has a sense of humor. he will provide but not without a few laughs. glad you're at least safe and healthy. great vid!

[@jdion79]

respect level upped several notches for having... a cat! loving your drive, bud. wish i had half the motor you did.

[@jamieplaysdrums8640]

The cut to intro audio w/ good lighting was the best plot twist I’ve seen on a YT vid for a while, so happy it worked out in the end (Also sorry about it fucking up on the way back as well lol)

[@opie4915]

The behind the scenes is aways welcome. Interesting to see what goes into what you do. Ever thought about a time-lapse of setting up all the equipment? Always a fan.

[@psychobetha]

if i know someone who lives where i’m traveling to, i always check out how much shipping a box of my shit to them would be vs the cost of checking bags. it usually ends up saving money and hassles.

[@jordanblue7206]

this episode gave me anxiety. I'm feeling your anxiety through the video dude. So glad everything worked out for the good.

[@xIMPENDINGZAINx]

This came out the day my downbeat shorts arrived in the mail. Money well spent! Much love Craig

[@ChessmasterHex]

You ran through the airport doing cartwheels like that scene from Love Actually

[@jpcox001]

This was one of the best vlogs as far as keeping me on my toes. What a ride. I laughed quite hard at the end. Please accept my apologies for laughing at your misfortune

[@SlackWi]

This whole trip is such a sick idea, you consistently raise the bar with the quality of these podcasts. Please don't let shitty airlines put you off of doing it again.

[@nathanturner3370]

Defo gonna watch them all for you! Thanks for busting your arse for this! For next time, I hear that pro cinematographers put a small flair gun in with your kit, then the airport won't take their eyes of it and lose it!

[@skedwin3020]

Yessss fair play to you not giving up, can't turn down a podcast with Jay though, nice one Craig 🤟🤙

[@lout9231]

Fucking hell old boy fair play for pushing through, chin up and fingers crossed the return works out!

[@coopernichols4275]

Off topic but huge thanks for having great audio and levels on your videos so I don't have to crank my fucking gain to hear what you're saying

[@peterscammell2240]

At least, as a Brit, you’re calm and collected 🤘🏻 keep smashing

[@pujoljordi919]

You keep getting better and better at vlogging ! Can't wait for all these pods !

[@Commandercolt44]

The way the end of this vlog made me so happy just to be slapped in the face with Craig’s comedic timing of losing the bags again. Just made me laugh so hard man

[@AddVentureThyme]

Great Vlog i was right there with you the whole time loosing baggage international sucks. BUT i was a little disappointed you didnt do a bass drop when shit really hit the fan

[@Lbritt17]

Bless your heart, hope everything else went smooth. Looking forward to the new podcast

[@skullsscarystuff9412]

As someone that is terrified to fly and just needs everything to go as planned this whole thing had my stress and anxiety at 1000000. I cannotttttt imagine.

[@DillWavy]

Fully invested and actively cheered when the AirTag popped up in Nashville

[@joyjoyz778]

So many people are having issues with their flights and losing luggage this summer like more than the usual (different airlines too) wtf is going on 💀 Anyway, I'm glad you got your bag back! Looking forward to the podcasts♥︎ Edit: God damn it not again

[@therileyobrien]

It’s been so bad lately that I’ve resorted to shipping anything important because airlines can’t be trusted.

[@zdzisekadamiuk22]

Fuck yeah! That ending is an amazing trailer so to speak:) stoked!

[@turjeh]

Dude! I was sitting on the edge of my seat during this whole video. Epic vlog!

[@tim.haus13]

"And i lost my bags on the way back" Someone give this man a break!😅😂

[@Darko.mp3]

Handled it the best you could have, you’re a legend Craig. Can’t say that about the airlines tho wtf

[@patfix]

Aah, the setup at the end looks amazing man. So glad it worked out (sort of) in the end!

[@twelvelookslike]

Why is it soo common to lose luggage now days. I hear about this constantly. Im pissed off right with you

[@MrKrazyKap]

Brutal. Excited though, glad things panned out fella

[@laurakane550]

I just want you to know these vlogs are the equivalent to a comfort show/movie to me

[@andremm4456]

Cregg

[@darylfalconer]

Barbenheimer who? This is storytelling Nolan aspires to.

[@KeriAngala]

bahahahha "ladies and gentleman... we got em." this is amazing!! so glad it worked out omg

[@BtR76]

That was exhausting. I’m off for a lye down.

[@DarthCookie101]

Glad everything worked out in the end, looks like we're about to get some fire content.

[@craighall9282]

Can’t wait for these pods - especially now we know the back story!

[@zacharypopadin9718]

I would have run out into fucking traffic, huge props

[@BefouledTongue]

Man, I was stressing for you… lol like what would I do.
