Boogie...you are the man. I have watched over 600 of your videos and you have to realize that I am a fan. I don't know anything about Magic the Gathering, but I enjoy watching your unboxing videos. You are a much stronger persons than you realize and you have to keep going. Part of my night is sitting down to watch you videos. You are an inspiration to the "normal guy". Love you brother.

Boogie, I am but a pawn in your legion of loyal followers and subscribers, but I hope this reaches you personally some day. I am going through nearly everything you have been through. I am 20 years old and after losing over 100lbs I am 570lbs and shrinking, I have you to thank for that, by you showing us that you could lose weight it brought back the hope that I could aswell. Steven, you are a true person, a real person with real wisdom and that shines through in your videos. Thank you so much!!

Boogie, I have to say, you are my hero. My family has been dealing with obesity, depression, diabetes, etc., but you are my inspiration to not give up. I'm young, maybe I'm way too young to be dealing with all of the above, but seeing your videos has really inspired me. I'm not obese, but i have been dealing with depression, and you, sir, have given me hope, not just for people who are depressed, but for people going through hard times. Thank you.
