[@samandcolby]

thanks for having us on! what a full circle moment for us.

[@AUF18]

Lots of love to you guys!!! Can't wait for the part 1 of the series!!!

[@KongPham]

LEGENDS.

[@keoniebalaszi2617]

🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥

[@user-cr7oj7kz1q]

I’m so happy that Colby bet cancer and you guys are probably the best people on earth and thank you and I love your guy’s channel and I love KongPham channel to! 🥰🤪😍

[@newerk1d]

hi sam and colby, i cant even tell u how stoked i am for the conjuring series🤗

[@truecrimenwine489]

The way Sam looks at Colby when he talks about his cancer. Man. The love those boys have for each other. It's just amazing.

[@chelsiirvine8970]

IKR it’s like if one of them would lose the other it would feel like they lost a part of them

[@geccolosky9644]

I thought the exact same thing 😭😭

[@CrystalEyes83]

I was thinking the same 😫😭 their bond is so special it’s amazing to see. I think they’ve been soulmates (unromantic kindred spirits) for many lifetimes ❤

[@thealexissutton7684]

Childhood best friends to childhood best friends ruling the KZbin world

[@nevayahgordon8346]

honestly think they're platonic soulmates

[@Tania-gq6dw]

Colby Brock’s mindset is incredibly inspirational. And Sam and Colby’s friendship, business acumen, and overall personal growth over the last decade is equally impressive. So glad to see them healthy, happy, and thriving.

[@KongPham]

Me too, they are fantastic human beings.

[@sarakafka6737]

Sam is so self aware. His emotional intelligence so far beyond for other people his age. Dude has a bright future.

[@karorevera4975]

I think for a 26 year old that's a normal emotional intelligence he has, but he has a baby face so probably that's confusing

[@kenna.c_97]

I agree ! I would love to just sit down and have a conversation with him about whatever. I love just hearing what he has to say.

[@Wondering..]

​@karorevera4975 no way have you not seen the normal 26 year olds+ on the media...the protests and all that especially in the media..they scare me

[@user-mw2cu5mg5w]

It’s so comforting for me to hear about Sam & Colby’s emotional well-being. Hearing them open up about them crying not only helps men out there who feel that they can’t cry but also helps people to realise that even if their life is ‘perfect’ that it’s normal to not be happy. Thank you sm SNC we love you

[@KongPham]

100%!

[@busywithabook]

sam and colby's friendship is everything its so rare.

[@eurieanderrozgaming2019]

Real,like whe can i get this

[@zoeunlimited]

"welcome back to my channel where I make 1 video every 3 years" ICONIC. Watched through the whole episode and love the authenticity! Come back more often 🙌🏼

[@KongPham]

🙏🙏🙏

[@skylermoore6326]

Yess please come back more often! I’m not a podcast watcher and I loved this! ❤️

[@maartjevandeursen4744]

the way sam looks at colby as he's talking about his battle with cancer.. he's just so proud of him. their love and support for each other is truly astounding and beautiful🥹❤️

[@chanelxp.h5109]

The fact that Sam knows Coby’s accomplishments better than himself shows how much attention he pays and how much he cares for him and the was he looks at him while he’s talking about them he looks so proud, these two honestly have the best friendship!!

[@colevlogs9053]

You can tell Sam loves this man so much, it’s in his eyes and his smile 😊

[@chaosmisha]

We all joke about friendship goals when Sam and Colby goof around, but seeing them listen to each other so intently? That's friendship goals. Amazing video btw! The way you all discussed these topics without judgement and plenty of breathing room is really something special.

[@Chloe_.22.]

I love how sam and colby always say that they are like a married couple 😅 They really are though, legit platonic soulmates

[@yaritzamendoza11]

Hearing Sam talk about how he’d break down crying 🥺 ily Sam!!! And your hard work and Colby’s hard work are 100000% acknowledged by your fans 🫶🏽

[@fluff424]

We all joke about friendship goals when Sam and Colby goof around, but seeing them listen to each other so intently? That's definitely friendship goals. Sam and Colby are the hardest working people and they have come so far in their career i love them so much, this was such an amazing podcast video.

[@seanan6007]

About 15 years ago a local boy found a lump when he was 18 and was too embarrassed to tell his friends or family. He died and only then did they discover the massive tumour on his testicle. A life lost that may have been saved if more people talked about it without shame so I thank you for being such an advocate Colby. Every year we have a fundraiser and this year we spoke about you. You’re amazing

[@CassidyOfficially]

Colby is such a strong person. Dealing with nerve pain at 19 right now and S&C are the only ones getting me through it right now. Great podcast!

[@roxyglitterqueen6339]

I agree Colby is one amazing young man love sam & colby watch them all the time. I get told the same thing I understand chronic nerve pain to hun I have had it for years now & my bowel caused it I had bowel cancer over 12 yrs ago & thankfully we caught it early but finding out I had it at 30 yrs of age shook me I was in shock for months thinking how the heck did I get this & said why but I always say there is other people out there worse off than me even though I just found out I thought about kids in hospital with cancer not even able to live life at a very young age, my bowel was still causing me issues for years so I now have no large bowel left I was in hell & I said get rid of it I don't need my bowel to live best thing I ever did was having it removed but once my surgeon went in there he said it was stuffed so made the right choice & said ok now times to move on & now I'm an award winning nail artist & beautician for over 24 yrs now love every minute of it even having a sore back & shoulders but the results make it worth while & was honoured to be asked to do nails for the red carpet tv week logie awards in 2019 & got punblished so thankfully I changed my mind set & didn't let my illness run my life & also did more studying while I was in pain it took my mind off it then started making jewellery I also started making all the cancer pendants by hand. I'm so happy that S&C help you get through it watching their videos help me alot to I have learnt so much from them about so much in the world more than I learnt in 5 yrs of high school so not only are they creators & entertainers they also educate all of us & love them even more for that sorry for the long comment but I do understand the nerve pain just wanted to give you an idea but I take alot of medication to keep me here & keep my pain down sending you lots of love & healing hun xoxo One thing I do need to do it make more videos for my KZbin channel I suck at editing them lol

[@CassidyOfficially]

@roxyglitterqueen6339 mine's from a bone spur compressing one of my nerves. I have hEDS And PCOS too so that doesn't help😂 what a crazy life we live, huh? I actually want to start YT because of these guys. Doing something you love makes all the difference. You definitely should start uploading!

[@KongPham]

I'm 35 now and remember back ~15 years ago, I had some pretty rough times too. Just want to leave a message here and say that you don't have to go through it alone! Find great friends to be your pillars of support. A therapist and daily meditation helped me out a ton as well. Thank you for your kind words, wishing you the best

[@noooooostop]

He's 26??

[@lilynoelle6398]

I had a chronic condition causing head to toe hives for 6 years. It was like my skin was always crawling, my eyes and throat would swell. I wouldn’t go out except to work. I’ve been in remission for 7 years and now I’m 31 and look back and cannot fathom how I got through that. It seemed like a different life/person! I don’t want to compare my adversity to yours BUT I do know now that I made it through and I’m a better, more compassionate, strong person because of it. Things only make sense in hindsight. I’m praying you find your hope and get answers for your medical problem 🥰

[@fifi_avila]

It is so rare to have what they have, you can tell on Sam's face that like he cares so much about colby and vice versa everything Sam did for Colby, Colby would've done for Sam and its so nice to see that type of healthy friendship that everything jokes about but in reality it's all true, I'm always saying I want what they have and i really do, it's so cool to see this type of really rare friendship

[@jakejohnnienickmattchrissandc]

i love the fact when Colby was talking Sam was super interested and never broke eye contact and when Sam was talking Colby was always looking at him too you can tell they’re one of the few BEST friends ever

[@GalaxyXPLR]

It's always so inspiring to hear Colby's cancer story. Even though I've heard it many times already, it still fascinates me every time I hear it again. I would not be half as strong as he was if I had cancer, ngl

[@KongPham]

Agreed, he is a treasure :)

[@memphis22]

sam is such a good friend. the way he looks at him when colby was talking abt cancer was so pure. i want a sam

[@verunkabobi8802]

Hearing Sam to open up finally Is really comforting becuse i had in my head that something with Sam Is wrong or something happend So thank you Sam that you opened a little bit ❤

[@Ash.-._.]

The way they look at each other with such love is adorable I truly believe they are soul mates not in a relationship way but a friendship way💕 we love you Sam and Colby

[@elizabethkarger9220]

Oh my god the pent up emotions over long periods of time coming out as crying is so ridiculously relatable it makes me happy to know I’m not the only one.

[@maritzacanon328]

Honestly hearing colby talk about his cancer journey really helps me understand what my family member might feels and I am so proud of him and my family member for keeping their head held high and staying strong through the process of it!!

[@kayliabaker]

I love how Colby is so open about his journey with cancer. He’s amazingly strong to share the story.

[@user-be2ec9wt6j]

Sam and colby are just so inspirational they have helped me so much with mental health and life struggles. They deserve the world and so much more, im so grateful for them 💞

[@Wolfstar-XPLR]

I love Sam and Colby's positive mindset through everything but also not being afraid to open up about the times where they cried. They are truly amazing people who are extremely inspirational. Seeing their growth as individuals but also friends has been amazing. I know they won't see this but I want to thank them for helping me through the lowest point in my life.❤

[@elliex2896]

Thank you for asking them about them and not the ghost hunts and paranormal ect, getting to know the boys outside of that was great, hearing the goods/bads. Was amazing. Thank you ❤

[@mickimurray4267]

Right???? ❤❤❤❤❤

[@miramargaret]

They both are such well spoken people, and you can see their bond is so incredibly special. Can’t wait to continue to watch them grow.

[@spicyranch03]

I’m so glad that I stumbled upon Sam and Colby’s channel. They’re such amazing humans and it truly shows 🥰

[@marvelous_wifeyy]

I feel so connected to Sam and Colby that I have tears in my eyes🥺 I can’t imagine KZbin without them.. They make me smile with their videos. Even if they don’t know me I want to thank them bc they helped me in difficult times❤

[@anshula0298]

This was a really well spent 1:26:38 mins for sure... The way they deal with everything going on in their lives is sooo inspirational.. With everything that they went through during the last year, seeing them smile makes me really happy.. Listening to Colby's fight gave me goosebumps.. I really wish you hadn't gone through those times.. but now that's over I hope and pray that have a super healthy life and get everything that you want!

[@pixiekinsies]

For anyone who feels like Colby when it comes to relationships just know you aren't obligated to be in one because society says so. If you do want a relationship someday you will meet someone who changes your lone wolf mindset or someone who will meet that energy. Just don't ever settle. Y'all are valid no matter what.

[@annalise8572]

Shortly after Colby posted about his surgery I felt a lump in my breast. Had my moment of panic and crying, but I took his advice to heart and took my whole cancer scare one day at a time. I'm lucky that it was merely a non-cancerous tumor but it's still scary! His story and so many other people's are exactly what needs to be talked about so more people are aware of checking themselves. If it wasn't for the awareness S&C brought, things could have been worse for me and I could have been too late to the problem.

[@toributler744]

This interview was so good, the way the interviewer went on with asking questions while not being invasive and adding helpful input was just great. Like this video should we used as an example for interviewing. Such a great way to see Sam and Colby open up comfortably with a great interviewer.

[@KongPham]

Thank you! 🙏

[@mxdboo757]

I am so happy that I'm not the only one who feels the way colby feels with relationships. People think I'm weird since I don't want to be in a relationship and see someone every day. I can do maybe 3-4 days a week. I hate feeling smothered

[@queerskiesahead847]

I really get a lot out of hearing Sam and Colby speak. They are actually really intelligent and from what we are able to see, have a very stong buisness sense. I also really like hearing the imperfect parts, their fears, their doubts, that kind of thing. Despite those things they stay so driven and contine to work on their friendship along side everything else. Watching this a few months down the road from where they were at that time just makes my heart so happy. Can't wait to see where the rest of 2023 takes them and beyond.

[@hsanchezisidora]

I love your way of interviewing, you're paused, not eager to get a question across, humorous, intelligent when you pose a subject, you make the subject fluent, you let your guests speak in their own pace, you're questions were interesting and not obviously predictable. I enjoyed it very much :)

[@KongPham]

Thank you!!

[@Harper_heavens]

Listening to this podcast with headphones on is so comforting. Colby sharing experience makes me feel emotional but also calm cuz of his voice at the same time I love sam so much too, he needs to win the best friend of the decade award . We all need that kind of bsf, i wanna be that kind of friend personally. Loved this podcast ❤

[@KongPham]

You know... I really love these mics and all other creators told me "there are better ones" but I stuck to my guns. Thank you for this comment - it is very validating and made my day :)

[@XIXIscarlettXIXI]

This is friendship goals no matter what anyone says

[@megs3019]

Most humble people in KZbin…. Colby driving a 2007 car…. When they have 10.4 million subs…. They still live together. I’m so happy they didn’t forget where they came from. Prbly helps them being friends for over 10 years.

[@realmadridworld1688]

The return of the king!! Was actually watching a 10-year-old video from you just now. Hope life has treated you well!

[@FatimaIbrahim-so2ry]

Hearing colby talk about his cancer problem was so sweet because he was so positive and that is amazing like he is a living legend we all love you sam and colby

[@severedheadz]

i relate to sam so much. thank you for this episode man, hearing from them like this means the world to me

[@donnawills8316]

I am a throat cancer survivor for me I went through it alone. The surgery and chemo. You are a n inspiration to all of us who have it or went through it. I am now 54 and have been cancer free for 30 years I wish them I knew you I think I would have dealt better with it ❤

[@paigeward2]

These guys are so inspirational to me and I love how they are openly speaking about their past problems especially Colby with cancer since it is such a big topic he handled it so so well ❤

[@marvelous_wifeyy]

Respect for Colby that he beat Cancer❤❤ and Sam ofc! He helped Colby so much and he was there for him 🥹🫶🏼

[@garthwaite1]

i just love hoe colby normalizes it ,i know that wout be so nice to hear it if sone else had it. i also love how sam has been by his side by all of it. there bond is amazing ❤❤

[@im_graciemay]

I've been watching these guys for nearly 8 years now and their growth, not only in their mindsets but their friendship, has been inspiring to see. They are some of the best and most real KZbinrs I've had the chance to watch over a long period of time and just hearing them speak about themselves and their lives is amazing!

[@mystictakeschances]

Its so refreshing to hear them talk about the positive outlook on everything, they're so inspirational🤍

[@kaitlanparks8061]

45:47 100%!!! Trauma doesn’t care about success or status. People should stop comparing themselves to one another because we are all *human.*

[@lupe103344522]

This guy changed my life with the pickup content. You will always have my support

[@Willow19764]

The way Sam and Colby have matching bracelets ❤❤

[@Taylor-bz9zc]

I love how he takes the time to like all the comments❤

[@KongPham]

Always!

[@Mentally_onFire]

Colby is really strong for handling something like that, They went through a lot and listening to them talking about it is comforting. just to know that no one is perfect. amazing podcast bro!

[@monkillablack7333]

Bro these guys are like the most wholesome guys ever

[@petratorrey1776]

It’s crazy to think they are just 2 boys from Kansas who made silly videos on vine to now being in cinemas with over 10 million subscribers man they make me so proud ❤

[@jordanmancano]

my fav sam and colby podcast fr

[@Gnabnahc_10397]

Seeing Sam looking at Colby with such love and friendship makes me so happy and it really shows how much they care for each other!❤❤

[@Alta_Potgieter]

Colby made me actually takr care of myself cuz recently i got this bad numbness and swelling in my legs and only in August ill be able to know what it is so im sitting with this pain for a whole year before i can onow why is my feet like this😢 but he made me think of taking care of me

[@swimrock9410]

I agree , I get burn out too and questioning myself as a teacher. This is my 2nd year and I've been asking more and not being as stress but i still get those burn out and cry. Teaching isn't easy. I love it and seeing the growth.

[@samandcolbyfan3627]

is it weird the first thing i noticed was the matching braclets luv yall sam and colby yall arelittlery the best and i just love yalls friendship

[@samanthawescott2287]

There are multiple creators that I have been subscribed to for years and they will take breaks from creating due to mental health and I fully support that. As soon as they post a video, I'm there. No matter how long the break has been. Trust in your fans and content and know that we want what's best for you guys no matter what. You matter, your health matters. ❤

[@newerk1d]

really great story of sam and colby's success and determination. I put this on while i was working and paid more attention to it than work. keep up the great work

[@lottie.softsun]

I’m in a long distance relationship and whenever I tell people they’re always like “omg I could never”, but I agree that when you don’t get to see each other all the time, when you do get to see each other it makes those days so much more special. Also yes it can get difficult sometimes not being able to see each other when we want but I’m also a person who needs A LOT of alone time and honestly I think that’s why past relationships didn’t work out for me. Because I saw them so often. So everyone says they could never do long distance but for me/ us it’s honestly what’s worked the best and I’ve never been happier ❤

[@KongPham]

That's really awesome to hear - I'm really happy that you were able to find something that works for you. Long-distance relationships are often stigmatized as being difficult or less fulfilling, but every relationship has its own dynamics that make it work for the people involved. Some people need constant proximity to feel secure and loved, while others, like you/me/colby, find value and even relief in having space and alone time.

[@felixsquid-yl7rm]

I relate to Sam and Colby and I hope they find themselves and be who they are:) I love this podcast and I love all 3 of y’all ❤️

[@KongPham]

I appreciate the kind words! I'll pass it along to them as well :)

[@natalievalencia6270]

I loved this interview. You hit every topic and I loved how you allowed them to speak, but also gave them amazing advice!!! looking forward to the new episodes!!!

[@Falconscreech]

I know some young (kids) who have had cancer, I know the feeling of not thinking you could get it, all that really put it in perspective for me

[@Zabina-]

Their Friendship is so special and pure, i love the way that their so happy when their together.❤❤ Anyways did anyone notice that they look so much happier when they look at eachother?

[@jamespalmore4103]

These dudes are incredible! Such a good talk! I think we could learn a lot from this conversation!

[@maringiardini]

Sam is going to be incredibly successful. Brilliant man.

[@Riane7211]

They love these boys have for each other after 14 years is amazing, I crave a friendship like there’s and to see that they are there for each other in their hardest points of life is heart warming and inspiring

[@hlsacco34me]

My cousin died at 18 from prostrate cancer. Now this was many years ago. Thank God they came out with the PSA antigen which is a blood test checking for prostate cancer. That came out in the 90s. All our male patients were tested. So happy your doing well Cody and brave enough to share your story

[@Trippze]

the chipmunk transformation is almost complete

[@KongPham]

It's my final form.

[@Panderina]

I wish more people would just understand that everyone has their own battles. I am so happy they can finally talk about this heavy stuff and get it out. You all are so real and genuine i love it.

[@laurendenee749]

The hardest working men on youtube 🖤.

[@KongPham]

100%! 🖤

[@britneyjulieann]

I respect Sam and Colby so much, this was a great interview, thank you!

[@user-hy3cz6dr8b]

These guys have a great sense of humor and personalities. Their interviews are fun, light hearted (well despite what Colby went through) and interesting. Glad you are doing better Colby. Lots of love fellas.

[@wytske7]

I love these guys they have saved my life this year I will thank them for them❤😇

[@KnowledgeRaiders]

Fantastic podcast!!! Glad to have you back on KZbin :)

[@hallecarrasco7858]

I really appreciate this interview. Sometimes interviewers/interviews cannot get passed the lore of their line of work and neglect to ask about Sam and Colby the people. I feel as though you gave them the opportunity to speak about themselves as well as their career. You got to see the real them.

[@ElizabethHarper-mp9op]

This was a really good watch. I'm only just recently into Sam and Colby and really enjoyed seeing the people behind the internet personalities being "real". The topics were very 'friends hanging out and sharing' and I just really enjoyed feeling like a friend in the room. It definitely makes me want to go back and watch more of these interviews.

[@healgrowlovecommunity8397]

Great interview! These guys are such hard workers and such amazing friends but mainly they're just lovely people. They deserve all the success that they have had and will continue to have.

[@latishaschroeder9284]

The friendship these two have, I love it. It’s hard to talk about certain things sometimes, especially if you’re not sure how to open up about something. Balance between life and work is very important. Glad they figured most of that out now. Colbys cancer was a tough hit for them, but I’m that colby has such a good friend that will do anything for him. And glad he got it taken care of and is ok. On the relationship note, alone time is very important at least in my opinion. It was a very enjoyable conversation and glad we learned a little bit more about these two.

[@jessiek.6892]

This was such a fantastic interview! So well done. Also, big props on the set. It's stunning!!!

[@funniscallformandy4596]

as someone who also survived cancer and saw the post he made as i was in the hospital getting chemo everyday, i understand colby. i had APL (leukemia) a rare sub type of another leukemia (AML). chemo was the worst for like 2-3 weeks and then i eventually got used to it. hair loss unlike colby was the least of my concerns i just wanted to be healthy in the end considering i was 16 at the time lol. last year around june/july my mom got the call that i was cancer free. from early january-june/july my body managed to fight it off. turned 17 in the process and turning 18 this april :)

[@user-bd9mb3oj1h]

This was a great video kong these two are my idols

[@KongPham]

Same!

[@kgandkc]

this was adorable ☺️, love the collab and you guys should do another one soon!

[@Lia57770]

Love this podcast! Colby looks much happier and healthier but Sam to me (probably just me thinking too much) for reason looks sad when hes not talking.. seriously editing their vids must be so hard i can tell.. when he said he almost quit social media my heart almost break omg love u Sam and Colby.

[@jamiemosley9744]

Agree. I was thinking the same thing about Sam.

[@ItzmeKylie867]

Dude I love Sam and Colby! Great collaboration❤

[@bri_imnotshort]

I’m new to the channel and I just wanted to say I really appreciate and admire the way you validate their feelings. A lot of interviews are so bad you can see the tension if you know what I mean. So great job ❤

[@KongPham]

🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@zararobnett8284]

I think it’s important for us viewers to keep in mind how much actual work goes into content creators between the planning trips, videos, editing, etc

[@goodenurseV]

This was one of the best hosted interviews I've ever seen. 🤯. Subscribed!

[@KongPham]

🙏🙏

[@User59392]

I love them so much.. i love how they just open up without caring ❤

[@BriannaPhillips]

I'm glad you guys acknowledged hiking as a form of meditation. I've been trying to express that to others as well. Hiking has done a lot for me throughout my life. It grounds you and helps you think. It's like you're melting into your environment and allowing it to rebuild you

[@mariemmetje2413]

Bro i am watching this for like the 4th time and i keep crying because they’re trying so hard but they don’t think that its enough while its more then enough and we understand if u need like a week or so off because its stressfull AND hard!! Dont push yourself!

[@marybogdan5422]

I’ve never been interested in podcasts. But this one.. LOVE IT. I want to watch it again and again

[@KongPham]

Thank you for the kind words :)

[@Debosaurus]

Yeah! Love me some Sam and Colby. 💜🖤💛👻

[@MoniiSnc]

Such a great interview I really enjoyed listening to Sam and Colby about not just their careers and KZbin growth but instead their feelings and their personal likings I love how they are so honest with what they can improve on and I also realised how big of a toll social media can bring on to you and even thought your so successful and at your peak in business you may not feel that way, anyways this interview/podcast was amazing I loved every bit very interesting.

[@katiesedden3033]

Amazing interview! ❤️ Sam and Colby are truely inspiring and have an amazing friendship! Sam your feelings are so valid and Colby I’m so proud of you overcoming something so scary with such a positive attitude ❤️ love from New Zealand
