Story Time - Road Trips, Magic Events, and Planet ComicCon

[@adamray10]

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.

[@looke888]

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!!

[@DoctorrStrange]

People find Francis, and then they find Boogie, and then they stay for good. :)

[@TrueGeordie]

Just wanna say mate your looking much healthier. Well done

[@maxamillionare]

Geordie that is true

[@GamerRenz]

Keep at it Boogie, keep up the good work with your health! Hope to see you at a con one day actually!

[@Brominn06]

I get such a good feeling when I watch your videos. Whether I am cracking up at Francis or tearing up from your inspirstional tales, you never fail to deliver an emotion. Please, never stop coming to us live through the power of the internet, Boogie.

[@corbinhills1997]

what places did you stop in MI?

[@SlipKoRnNinja]

You're always somebody to someone Boogie even if it doesn't feel like it, I know some of the feelings and pains. If i was there i would have shook your hand and took a pic and hugged you. You're a inspiration and you truly are a celebrity, you may not make the money they do but you touch the hearts, minds, and ears of hundreds of thousands.

[@spooky2401]

i love you boogie

[@dubbela07]

This man has got to be one, if not THE BEST inspirational speakers I have ever listened to. I could listen to him for hours. Boogie, you ARE a celebrity, and for all of the right reasons.

[@mattc416]

Francis my man, you are a celebrity! I would have loved the oppurtunity to shake your hand and thank you for the entertainment you have been able to provide on KZbin. Your channel is one the best I've found on here for a long time. I really liked your story of road trips and comic con, it has shown us all a different side to you that we normally see. Keep up the good work dude your reaching a far greater audience than you can imagine. East Midlands, Great Britain.

[@Disasterboy135]

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.

[@Gloozz1]

Man, when you talk, i dont just hear it.. I understand it and it goes right to the heart and i can understand have tough times you been threw and.. i just love you

[@Over9000Broseph]

This 6 year old video popped up in my recommendations. Boogie you are a damn inspiration my man. The progress you’ve made in your life physically and mentally is incredible.

[@drakthorn00]

WE fucking LOVE you Boogie! I'm always checkin the KZbin to see what Boogie's up to. Crazy shit's been coming down, Boogie, but you can put a smile on my face whether your francis or jesse or your plain old self. Me as a person and i'm sure everyone here takes these videos to heart and thinks deeply of what you have to say. It's a big big big dream of mine to meet you Boogie and shake your hand and tell you in person how awesome you are. We love you Boogie!

[@LaBs6661]

i live in Australia and you are not only mine but a lot of my friends hero. we watch you every day for the laughs and tears but most importantly to be apart of your life.. you dont know me but i sure know you and i thank you for everything you have done for me

[@kushXhaze]

Boogie you are a true inspiration. I have battled with drug addiction and weight problems for years and nothing ever seems to go my way. i have contemplated suicide many times and the only that has stopped me is hurting the few people who love me. Watching your videos gives me hope and i can only wish to someday have the strength you have.

[@In0ddwetrust]

You're an Inspiration. I have been suffering with Social Anxiety for quite some time, and simply put - you are an amazing inspiration, knowing what you have been through - what you have accomplished despite it all. You are an impressive Testament to human drive. Don't stop doing what you do, and I hope to meet you sometime in the future.

[@VitorDuzarte]

One of the things that i want to do if i visit America one day, is to go to a convention and meet this man! He's simply amazing!

[@theangrytaco52]

Boogie, your stories are so amazing. The amount of honesty in your voice and the look of true gratitude on your face really made me tear up. Rock on man

[@Fatesmaster]

Boogie, we all love you and admire you for so many reasons. Your opinions, your humor, your ideas, and your outlook on life. The majority of us who watch you enjoy to see you happy and because you bring us so much joy. Even if it is just over KZbin. With out KZbin I never would have been able to watch you and your many characters like Francis. You may or may not know this but you have saved peoples live's, mine included thanks Boogie and much love.

[@SyllixMusic]

Boogie, you're almost on par with Pixar when it comes to making a full-grown man cry... I love you man.

[@IntoThePromiseLAND]

I want to shake your hand Boogie. You may not realize just how many people you help with your videos; I am one of them. Much love and blessings to you man!

[@Liaml6]

you ARE somebody Boogie. You have made yourself into the man you wanted to be and we all admire you my friend.

[@KeysOfNought]

You are a Great Man. It's wonderful to see a wonderful kind person such as you telling others to be kind as well and inspire them. We really need more people like you!

[@callumainsworth98]

You are an amazing person, overcoming all those problems and doing what you want and what you enjoy. Good for you and you deserve that recognition.

[@ShadowkillerWM]

You're an amazing man. The most inspirational speaker on KZbin, for sure. Meeting you would be a dream come true. Keep it up, Steve!

[@rinceart]

I did a Route 66 trip once, and a grand Nevada, Arizona, Utah, California, Oregon trip over a tree-week period. Those were best experiences in my life. The National Parks of the USA are one of the most amazing places on this planet.

[@ChildhoodMemories123]

You're such a cool individual, love your confedience and honesty. Would be proud to call you a friend.

[@ruicadima2961]

We love you man. I speak for myself but I believe I speak for some other folks around here when I say that you're someone to look up to. The journey that you've been doing is amazing. I hope you continue to live life the way you want to live without people setting you back. There's always another bump on the road. But we have to keep on going. Salutations good sir.

[@rinceart]

I did a Route 66 trip once, and a grand Nevada, Arizona, Utah, California, Oregon trip over a tree-week period. The best experiences in my life. The National Parks of the USA are true wonders.

[@Eternal-Security]

Keep up the good work! I absolutely love these candid story time videos. I feel like we are brothers in arms against obesity; I used to be 320 lbs and have lost up to 110 at one point. It will always be a struggle to keep the weight off but perseverance is the key and I see that you have the mental fortitude to keep it up my friend. Best of luck to you, your friends, and your family.

[@argo12]

Boogie, I am so happy you were finally treated with respect and admiration. You are a gem. I'm so glad you get this forum on KZbin to help all of us edge past our ignorance and learn what a great guy you are! You deserve this! :)

[@PluffyFX]

That ending gave me such a smile :)

[@Beecels]

I wish I could afford to go to convention and run in to people like boogie. You're a real inspiration boogie and you turned me on to keto. I've lost a lot of weight with keto thanks to you, for once I finally feel I will meet my goals!

[@UrDutchFriend]

I feel like you're really letting your heart out man. You deserve much more respect than you get from those judging shallow people sometimes. At a con, we all share the same interests so people there are less likely to judge you. That's why I love going there. You meet so much cool people. If you ever decide on going to The Netherlands or Gamescom in Cologne, Germany; I'll make sure to be there to meet you ^^ Keep up the great work. I love it all.

[@116UOB]

Boogie....I live close to KC and opted not to go to Comicon as it was my birthday weekend and stayed home with the wife. Had I known you were going to be there, I would have been there in a split second. You're an inspiration to me! Sorry I missed you.

[@KonchokTW]

Best saying ever: What's up, ladies and gentlemen of KZbin, Boogie2988 coming at you live once again through the power of the internet. Never stop that, its epic

[@bobbacon5104]

Boogie is amazing. He actually cares about his viewers and loves them. He's one of the best people I know

[@ioRadium7]

Boogie, I don't know how anyone can watch a single one of your videos and have anything negative to say about you. You're such an inspiration to me and to everyone. Love you man, keep it up.

[@rogantu]

Damn that guy at the convention got lucky. I still have my dream and have had it for 3-4 years of meeting you. I hope one day I may and if I do you will get a huge hug no matter how hard you resist. Thank you for your awesome content.

[@idaboyd6291]

I love to watch your videos. I will watch for you the next time I'm in Fayetteville.

[@Eltino117]

Boogie, you are amazing. May God bless you, and may you get to every single goal you have on your mind, buddy. You deserve everything.

[@HellResident666]

Oh boogie, how is it you hit me in the feels everytime you have one of these down to earth talks. Knowing Planet ComicCon is something you might be going to next year you have me wanting to go as well. You'll be a whole new man by then and hopefully you can be able to walk around and meet everyone in Kansas City.

[@Jimmyhandz2]

If you ever feel someone suddenly jump on your back and start screaming BOOGIE BOOGIE BOOGIE! Don't freak out, it's just me. You're the man Boogie.

[@CrowGamingSociety]

We do love you bro. Your a good man, a positive person, and have amazing characters that make us laugh, thats why we watch. It makes me happy that you had such a positive experience and it has made you want to go back out and enjoy yourself again despite any personal problems. Your true fans and friends will never judge you. I hope very much to see you at a convention in the future.

[@jimmyparker0208]

Boogie, Before today, I only knew you as Francis, I found the act really funny but sometimes annoying and I felt sympathetic too, however I found out it was an act and I was watching some of your story times, I then watched your 'draw my life' you've really touched me deeply and I consider you an inspiration to many many people and you are to me. I would love to meet you but I'm from UK, you're incredible. Thanks for making videos.

[@RyanPumpkins]

You're an amazing story-teller, Boogie! Although I am just an average fan (from Scotland) and I doubt it will ever happen, it would be an honour to meet you! If you're able, you definitely should consider going to more conventions, and things like E3. You said it yourself, you felt great when a few people recognised you, imagine the amount of fans that could meet you at E3.

[@rocksteady31]

Boogie, you always know how to put a smile on my face and make me laugh...tonight, however, you put a tear in my eye :) we love you buddy! Saying you're an inspiration isn't saying nearly enough. I hope one day I get to shake your hand too!! Thank you for letting us into your life and sharing all you do with us...believe me...we really appreciate it beyond words!! :)

[@freshmanfrenchman1]

Sir you deserve a medal for the best damned story telling ever your stories are always inspirational and after each one a little hope for humanity is replenished

[@Luieburger]

Man... this is awesome. Someone who I would have looked down upon in WalMart is someone I look up to on KZbin. The POWER, of the internet.

[@VirusMND]

"What's up ladies and gentlemen of KZbin Boogie2988 coming at you live once again through the power of the internet." My favorite thing to hear.

[@DougW130]

Boogie, this will keep you alive. Yes it hurts once you're home. The physical toll that these trips can take from a pain standpoint can be pretty big but the exercise you get doing them is good for you. I've only been watching your videos for a week at this point but you're a fun, funny guy and I'd love to still be watching you 25 years from now. Please keep it up and keep getting healthier.

[@joshcruz836]

Well Boogie, you made it to E3, and comicon!!! So proud of all your progress!

[@eXReFuELeD]

You're an inspiration to me Boogie, Thanks for doing what you do and don't stop!

[@xCraZedxKillerz]

Boogie, I just wanted to say that was the most heartfelt video I have ever watched. I wish I could go to every event just to meet you, you are an amazing person and don't let anyone tell you differently

[@DoomKid]

YES Boogie, you get it. Gaming is another form of art and a means of socialising and expressiong yourself, just like movies, books and other means of creative self expression. I'm an aspiring designer and It really helps to hear that others out there feel as strongly about it.

[@cannongod13]

Boogie, you are somebody brother. You set a great example of how to deal with negativity. Your an inspiration. Keep on going with it.

[@SpencerBarrettFilms]

If I ever make it out to America, I will make it one of my priorities to meet you Boogie. Your videos always make me laugh and smile, so thank you!

[@DrunkenBrad]

You are an awesome person boogie. And I would love to get the chance to meet you and spend more than a handshake worth of time. You've helped encourage me to start working on a channel. You've shown such love for the fans and people who support you. Fuck those people who judge. This video made me feel great and gave me drive through the rough times I'm facing. Keep up the fantastic work man. You've got a long time fan right here

[@shawnathon47]

Boogie2988 FTW. Loving these positive, insightful looks into your life lately. Keep it up man!

[@guitarneverdies99]

Boogie you're the most amazing icon on the web that I have seen, you're an inspiration to everyone here. Your story was truly amazing, and you are so humble about it all. I hope you get better one day with all the pain, it's unfortunate that bad things happen to good people. I would love to meet you one day and that is an on going goal of mine. I'll be bringing you a mountain Dew :)

[@geoff582001]

Hey Boogie! I am a professional comic book artist and a fan of yours. I was in Artist Alley. It's a shame I didn't see you, because it would have been pretty cool to meet you dude. Keep kicking ass.

[@hamishcampbell5888]

I love how Boggie uses his weight and mind incorporated and contrasted to make comedy, how he really shows his life and how he makes everything empathetic and sympathetic. It is awesome!

[@TheNitrostealth]

Hopefully I will get to meet you someday. You're an inspiration to everyone.

[@mikemotes9610]

Boogie I cannot tell you how much your videos mean to us. We love you and your one of us, society is so full of hate, but here we can come together to support someone who has struggled in life. Stay true my friend.

[@MariokartwiirulesXD]

We do love you, Boogie. You're an amazing person. I can't stress that enough. You make so many people happy, and knowing that when I click your videos I up the view counter and make you that tiny bit happier makes me happy too.

[@ilikecheese1234567]

If I ever meet you, I will take a photo and make a magic card of it. Maybe I'll put it on a token or something. You deserve that recognition you got and the kindness around you.

[@itachi0536]

We do love you boogie, thank you for everything you do. You are a true warrior!

[@Maplenr]

Got to say, favorite video ever. I sure hope I get to meet you. If I ever get the chance to, it would literally fulfill a dream. You saved my life, and I want to shake your hand at the very least. We all love you Steve. Keep it up on the weight loss :D

[@Rocketcar200]

Boogie is a beautiful person. I am so glad that he has taught us to look past physical features and get to know a person. It is definitely a lesson that I will carry throughout my life :)

[@koriad95]

You say you are no celebrity boogie but you are. You are such an inspirational and amazing guy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. We love you too and don't ever forget it bro

[@tomw5191]

Francis, what can I say. You are a real inspiration to the rest of your fans and to people in general. I am so happy for you dude and I wish you all the luck in the future battling your weight and having aspirations in your life. You make me laugh and think about the way I behave, and, on top of this, I feel by watching your youtube videos you have made me a better person than I once was. If I ever see you in my life I would be overjoyed to shake your hand buddy. To bad I live in England :S

[@EekumBokum]

Boogie, you are the owner of the best KZbin channel out there. I mean, you have everything! You have Magic unboxings, game reviews, Francis(lol), and your channel is what helps a lot of people get through the daily rutine of life. Goodjob man. There is no KZbin channel out there like your's. Best KZbin channel of the century goes to you!!!

[@lopeezy23]

Awesome video. Awesome stories. I wish you would have had a chance to meet him. You'd be surprised at how starstruck he would have been. You inspire, you relay great messages, and you fight day in and day out to do what you do. That's rare in the world today. He would have been lucky to have meet you boog. Keep up the great work.

[@DarthScythe1290]

you are the man boogie! i know it would be the high light of my trip to see you at gencon this August

[@MrBeesness]

Man, you're the greatest you-tuber I know. I hope you continue to receive limitless amounts of kindness. You truly are very good, no, GREAT person. You're very determined and courageous, to put your life on the internet like this takes more guts than anyone of us could imagine. You deserve the fans man (and all of it), peace be with ya.

[@THEREALD34DP00L]

Buddy there are tons of us that really love ya bud, and appreciate your shows.

[@digitalskill]

We do love you Boogie :) You're an inspiration and I'd love to meet you.

[@brunnerhendrix8734]

Dear Boogie, You are who i look up to boogie, i want to be as kind as you and as thoughtful as you dude, you have a great future in front of you man, keep it up! Sincerely, Brunner Waterman

[@frankicool4]

Real talk. keep travelling because i can tell that we love your travelling stories.

[@AsherNate]

Fantastic man! It does me a world of good to hear about your adventure and how kind people were. With too many magazines and reality tv going on, with people totally and only concerned with physical appearance and completely uncaring as to what is within, it is good to know it's not everyone and people can still remember to care.

[@OnyxProducts]

Boogie, you got thousands and thousands of others waiting, no DREAMING, to hug you. Stay strong, live long.

[@floop585]

We all love you boogie! , it would make my day to shake your hand and the memory would stay with me for ever!=)

[@ms.cadaver8910]

This. Is. Amazing. It's very emotional and I feel the exact same way as you, Boogie. Don't give up hope, chase your dreams, live your life the way you want. Screw your haters, they mean nothing. I love you.

[@JohnCraigleCC]

If was in America i would go to any event just to see you and say "hi" and have a photo with the most committed gamer I've seen

[@ClaireScates1985555]

You are truly beautiful soul Boogie, I only discovered your channel over the last week, but already it's having a profound effect on me. Keep on smiling and doing what you do :) Claire xx

[@jameshurley6392]

Every video I watch of yours, you draw me into your life and story's, it's brilliant. It's good to see you finally getting the break you deserve with your KZbin success, KEEP IT UP MAN!!!

[@MattyMcHatty]

You're a huge inspiration Boogie, it's because of you that I started making videos. We all love you man!

[@RubyReapz]

You're the reason I dont sleep. I just love your videos. And boogie, extreme size? I've seen bigger. YOU are losing weight, and making all of us proud. Keep it up man, I hope you read this through all of the comments, even if you don't reply, just smile and KNOW you are amazing and are making each and everyone of us proud. Simply an amazing man.

[@1minigrem]

Bless your heart, your an inspiration. It would be great if you could come to the UK one day.

[@TheOnionofTheSea]

I think that this is one of the greatest things I have ever read on KZbin - you rock, dude.

[@Magikknight76]

I do think your a celeb and def my inspiration to keep trying to better myself. I love you boogie and would love to shake your hand and meet you.

[@xXGususuXx]

I dont know how to play it, but when u tell about it i really wanna learn magic!! Ur telling is really awesome!

[@Del_Boca]

We do love you Boogie! :D Don't stop being you, because you are a legend.

[@Eerayo]

Yet another brilliant video Boogie! Love to watch and hear you tell your stories and experiences. Right now, the only thing I don't love about you is that you live in the US. And I live in Sweden. So I doubt we'll ever meet. But hopefully you'll visit Sweden some day and on that day I'll be there to shake your hand sir!

[@swaggbag97]

dude, i wanna shake your hand to, man. keep up what your doing, good stuff. You are loved.

[@crack432]

Your such an inspiring person, And you do live in a great country!

[@channtheman35]

Hey boogie, my brother and a couple of my friends are some of the people that recognized you at Planet ComiCon. We weren't sure if it was you at first and were so jazzed when we asked and found out it was. It was great seeing you there and we hope you can make it to E3!

[@JosheVelox]

I actually said this same thing to my gf yesterday...I said, "Man, if I could spend a day with any celebrity, it would be Boogie..." It would just be awesome to game with him or even just sit and talk about games, life and mtg...
