      I am a 5th Grade teacher and especially see many of my 5th Grade Boys struggling... I have so many that can relate to you, Lewis. Have you ever thought about writing a smaller chapter book (autobiography) that would be more attuned to a 5th Grade Boy? I think it would be great! Something we could use for SEL in class and give to struggling students and students who have internal family struggles? Just a thought! I find you so inspirational and want my kids to hear you, but sometimes it's a little too grown up for the little ones. I would use your story in class if you wanted to do that!

If I say United States citizen, I might get complimented on my Spanish, but some, they pull back. I feel it.

      After 27 and a bad relationship. I hit a pretty low point in my life.
      I smoked weed one night and got super high, but through that I got my epiphany. I finally realized how am I supposed help others if I can't help myself first. Up to that point I thought I was unloveable, then I realized how am I supposed to love someone else when I can't love myself first.
      Always take care of your needs first. You can't help others if you can't help yourself first. The way I put it nowadays is, how do you take care of someone else when you yourself are sick. You need to take care of your needs first before helping/loving others.

    I was raised to be a people pleaser and I’ve been to therapy about it. Still have issues with mean, narcissistic individuals because I’m not one and trying to move past them (cause I work with them) is tough. Still looking for complete inner peace.
    Fluffy, I lost my bff after 23 years. She was like a sister and we did everything together. She chose to leave the relationship because I “didn’t understand her anymore.” Hurt like hell for years, but I discovered that forgiving and moving on and thinking about my own well-being was more important. “Cleaning house” does help. Wish you nothing but the best always because I use your videos to get me through MY tough times. Unity through laughter always!❤

    My respect for Lewis gained incredibly much in this interview by far.. why, because he had the courage to genuinly care for Gabriels well being. It was tense, but came from a place of love. Thank you Lewis for showing us true compassion and taking that courage to do so.

    Gabriel your authenticity is inspiring! I was struck deeply by the comment about being to comfortable. My physical body is very similar to yours and I to know that changing some habits would help me feel better in my skin. But I don’t do those things because they are uncomfortable and because I don’t want to do them alone. How can we make being healthy as much fun as eating donuts?? Love you and thank you so much for all you do!!

    I love you Gabriel, I saw your show when you came to Lynden,Washington fair. You were the biggest act to hit the stage. I took my little Mexican mama and she loved it. It was extra special for us because you were my baby sisters favorite. Sha passed away before being able to see you on stage. So the whole family went in memorial of my sister. She was in her 40s when she passed 8 years ago but she's always my baby sister. ❤

    we get to see GABRIEL, not Fluffy, we see GABRIEL.
    The human side, the emotional side, the vulnerable side. People tend to hype up celebrities and well known people and put them on pedestals to make you feel they are untouchable but Gabriel has for YEARS always put himself at level with everyone else. I know he is no fool in knowing how well know he is BUT he doesn't let that get to his head.
    Thank you for this video cause when it comes to stars, we don't hear alot of about their own mental health and the fact you were able to tap into area he probably hasn't talked about in YEARS, show the tenderness and heart you have for people.
    5 STAR video!

    I also was/still working on my people pleasing tendencies and that I had struggled with the guilt feeling so I stayed in a relationship that I wasn’t happy in for 5 years until finally 6 months ago something changed inside me and I started to put myself first! And it has been a bliss since 😇😊

    17:46 - Vulnerability, being vulnerable is scary that someone can use it against you - yes HOWEVER, being vulnerable helps you inside so much that those ppl that try to USE it, it doesn’t even bother you. You can grow to respond and not react. When you can wait for a response, you don’t have the immediate rage or hurt like when we react. It’s essential to be vulnerable. Thank you both for having a REAL and open, vulnerable conversation. ❤

    I've been watching Gabriel since before the onset of his 'career'. Weight up weight down, seen him in person and up close talked to him, had a picture taken with him in Florida a very sweet personable young man, about 12 years ago now. Looks like the struggle with weight has returned. I pray he has not had any additional health issues confront him that caused that. Too many Great Comics have lost their lives due to health issues. I'm pretty sure those that adore him and his genius as a comedian want him with us for many years to come❤

    Really enjoyed this. What came across to me, in my opinion, is that Gabriel has really struggled with issues from childhood. Father not being around, can cause a child to blame self, and to seek love, approval, (laughter) from others. Over eating, drinking too much too often as a coping mechanism to handle emotions and feelings can come from not learning healthy ways to handle emotions and feelings. I hope he finds peace and healing. He has made me smile and laugh and enjoy life many times.
