I grew up with your videos as a young teen, and now I've reached 30 years old as a grown man! Keep doing what you do, and congrats for the beautiful family you've raised now!
I can't believe it was 12 years ago. I'm approaching the age you were back then and I feel so far behind in life. Grateful to have seen your journey and I'll always appreciate the things you've taught me.
Nah. You’re not behind. You’re on your own path and there’s nobody ahead of you or behind you. Focus on what TRULY matters the most in life and you’ll see that.
Greetings from germany. One of your long time follower. I love you and your family. It was fun and sometimes even sad to follow you and seeing your up and downs. But everything you did, was pure love! And now you have a beautiful family! I will never forget Alaska. That was so intense and fun to watch!
Wow, this brought back so many memories for me. Mean Kitty song was when I first subscribed to your channel. We sure have been through a good chunk of life since then, eh?
I started watching you WAY BACK in 1000 Oaks. When you drove around your Longboard and your Beach Buggy! I watched all your VLOGS with your partner back then, your Cat Videos (R.I.P. Sparta and Loki) I watched the one special new years Video and even though, those videos are long gone, they REALLY made an impression on me. Then came all your Travel VLogs to Alaska. Your now Wife! The one very spezial Video, where Kristen surprised you with the Banana Glass, announcing your FIRST Child! Chell. Pregnancy, Birth, Moving, EVERYTHING!! And Boy you DID influence me. You showed me, what is important. You showed me, how I want to treat my wife. and you know... I'm 33 now. Have a Wife and our Son is 17 Month as of writing this comment. I can't tell you, how much you helped me through desperate times, how many times Sparta made me laugh, how many times you and Kate brought a smile to my face even though live didn't treat me well back then. And If I could, If I had the chance, I'd would LOVE to meet you in person, show you my Wife and my Son and Hug you. Say Thanks because I'm pretty sure, that without your Videos, I would not be, where I am today. I'd still blame the world for everything. Seriously... thank you!
Started watching your videos back when you first moved to Alaska, your trip to South Korea.. I was about 15/16 then. I’m 26 now and it feels like yesterday. Your channel won’t be forgotten. One of the most wholesome channels UA-cam had. God speed to you.
12 years ago I got out of the army, went to the barber and told him "Give me the Cory williams" still rocking that wavy pointy mohawk to this day. you can not believe the feeling i got when i saw your channels name and the word "uploaded 7 hours ago". ♥♥♥
Jesus... That cross America trip. I still remember that vividly. Back when you were fully DudeLikeHella. I do miss those days. I remember those days well. I try to see the old videos from time to time. The 12 week challenge I was so proud watching you go from a already kinda fit bloke to a muscle powerhouse! Cory, from not just me but from everyone who watches you. Thank you, We all love you!!
I met you in Indianapolis. I got my hug and you changed my life, Cory. Meeting you was the fuel I needed to go after my passion to live life to the absolute fullest and work as a film maker. I’m doing it all today thanks to you. I still look back to the old DudeLikeHella days, because those days I lived for your vlogs and they got me through high school. Thanks for the memories
I haven't seen your videos in so long. Just wanted to check back in and oh this brought back so many memories Watched back to before you moved to alaska. Cant believe its been 10 years since your video of skipping rocks on ice
I remember meeting you in KC 12 years ago. I had been watching your videos since the mean kitty video and was a religious follower of your videos. I remember being starstruck seeing you in person. You towered over me by at least a foot and you gave me a hug. All I could say was “Thank you” at the time, but my gratitude couldn’t possibly be conveyed in just those words. You brought so much joy and laughs to my life over the years that “thank you” just couldn’t cut it. But in that moment being there with about 30 strangers all to see someone most of us had probably never met before - it was a truly special moment of unity I’d never seen up to that point. That day is a special memory for me. So 12 years later, thank you Cory for bringing so much joy to my life. I miss your videos but am grateful anytime I do get to see you on here. Take care & God bless - Cory from KC.
that song at the end is one of my most fave songs of all time. Ive been a fan for years and i remember all of that. i wish i could have seen ya'll on tour but i had my own "life" going on, and thank God it has finally improved and changed for the better. Looking back on just ur life alone helps me cope with mine. good and bad. thanks for being such a huge inspiration not just with fun videos but with life in general. your whole outlook and approach to life inspires me to get past the past and enjoy the present and look forward to the future. thanks for the memories Mr Safety.
I haven’t been around as long as some other people here, not quite since the mean kitty song, but I do remember when you first moved to Alaska, when Chell was born, all of that. I was one of many watching your videos growing up
I'm following you from Belgium for about 17 years now. And even though we never met (and probably never will); you have been a inspiration to me. To live life to the fullest and enjoy it! Thank you and all the best to you and your family!
I was 13 when you were on tour and didn't have the means to see you in person. I live by Chicago and remember thinking "Someday I'll go to the park he was at, even if he's not there!". Life has caught up to me and occupied me for good reasons, but I still hold fondly coming home from middle school to a DUDELIKEHELLA vlog and watching from afar. I'm in graduate school now and feel so blessed to have watched you continuously from then till now. Thank you for being in my life, even if it's only parasocially!
I have been watching your videos since 2008 and they have gotten me through some tough times in my life, especially from 2011 through 2013. You taught me when life gives me lemons, I take those lemons and make lemonade. 😀Ever since, I make my best effort to face any adversity or misfortune with optimism and a positive can-do attitude. Thank you Cory for being awesome and continuing to help and inspire others. I am proud to be your phoenix. ♥
I got reminded of your channel a couple weeks ago when my bf asked my opinion on naming our future child(ren) after video game characters. lol I immediately remembered when y'all were expecting Chell! Just spent forever looking for you and it's so cool to see you've kept making videos
I'm grateful for all your vlogs and kate, I'm sad most of the content was erased and off the internet, there was a few accounts popped up with reups and I ripped them as fast as I could. Those vlogs were my safe space in my late teen and I watch those old vlogs time to time. The apartment complex you lived in was ..or from the vlog point of view such nice place
Time flies so quickly.. I remember getting home from school to watch your Vlogs in LA and be amazed by the American life that was so different than here in France. Feeling nostalgic just thinking about it.. it was a different time for sure. UA-cam was something else and I’m thankful for what I learnt growing up thanks to amazing content creators like you! Wishing you all the best Cory and I hope someday our path will cross so that I can give you an epic man hug !
I’ve been watching you since I was at least 7 or 8. The mean kitty was the first channel I ever subscribed to. Now I’m 19 and I’m studying psychology to learn about what programs increase the quality of life in countries. I’ve been watching you for years and I’ve loved every video. I remember when instead of showering you decided to take the doors and roof off your jeep and go through a car wash. I remember when Kristen announced her first pregnancy by having you sample baby food. It’s been such a journey to see how your life has changed and how you’ve grown. I don’t want to overstep but you’ve been in my life for so long and it’s been such a pleasure to know you. Also I think seeing the joy you have from traveling is part of the reason why I love long road trips. I remember so many of your videos having you taking such long trips and always having such a great time.
Omg Corey I hope you see this...congratulations on your roll in the Regan movie....I saw you right away. Great job and I hope to see you in more movies in the future. 🎉❤🥳 BTW hello from Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Cory. I am a fellow Okie, born and raised. I've been watching you since Mean Kitty - Creature of the Night. I remember the wedding live stream, the start of DudeLikeHella, your Gold's Gym competition. I remember the ridiculousness of sticking your hands in a toaster, and I remember you flipping a buggy down a hill (and the injured wrist). You moving to Alaska would later become encouragement for me to move to a brand new state, hauling my car behind a UHaul, just like you did. I was too young at the time of your tour to have met you, I wish I had the opportunity! You should know you've had an impact on a number of us who grew up watching your videos. This upload comes at interesting time for me. Tomorrow I have an interview with OKC in efforts of achieving my lifelong goal of becoming a firefighter. Something that I know is also part of your past, Mr. Safety! You've accomplished so much in this life, and have shared wisdom with so many you don't even know. You deserve all of your joy and happiness. Best wishes to ya!
I’m part of the younger audience that’s been watching you guys since about 2015/2016, I was around 10-11 years old. I’m now starting my second year of college soon! I remember nagging my mom to go see you at vloggerfair, I lived no where near WA at the time LOL. Love these little updates you post every so often, can’t wait to see more in the future!
I wish I had been aware of you 12 years ago. But I “met” you and Kristen when you started your drive to ALASKA - DUDE LIKE HELLA! Different roads also give me different vibes. You forgot to say goodbye. But I think I Love You is even better. I love you too. Hugs.
I love listening to projected twin. I missed out on your road trip but loved your move to Alaska and the life you lived there, you showed me things I’d never dreamed of. I have to confess I do miss the adventures you went on… hiking, metal detecting, chasing the Iditarod… you really did give me something to look forward to at a time when my life was pretty bleak. You choosing to do things to learn and discover something new rather than simmering where it’s safe helped me to start thinking beyond my own safe zone. Much love to you and your precious family.
During that tour, I was 12 years old and live across the world, in India. I wished I could have attended somehow. Either way, it truly is nostalgic to remember those days, 12 years later, today. We've all come a long way and done a lot of things. But never hurts to look back and say. "Man, I've come quite far". Either way, nice to see Mr safety is still around and having fun. Cheers from the other side of the globe.
@@LiveEachDay yeah, man. I used to watch your early smpfilms videos from the late 2000s when I used to come home from school. Most kids watches courage the cowardly dogs or power rangers, I watched SMP skits! Also, there's a joke I've always wanted to make it if i ever got to meet you (i'd also ask for an epic man hug if i could). Guess this is my one chance to say it. I came up with it when you announced you were gonna become a dad. "I guess 100 rubber bands to the balls is the limit"
When I first started watching your videos I was probably around 10 or 11. I am now 22, and I cannot express enough how essential your videos were in my growing up. I frequently visit your channel to see what you and your family are up to, and it blows my mind how big Chell and Atlas are now. Much love to you and your family! Thanks for the 10+ years of putting a smile on my face :)
Met you with my older brother in Salt Lake City. I was a 15 year old then, now I'm 27. You picked me up and hung me upside down by my legs. I even have a photo of the moment saved on my computer. It was a great time.
Bro! I've been with you since the broken collar back yard wrestling SMP days! It's been a hell of a ride watching your journey while living my life through your eyes. I'm your friend til the end brother. I have mad respect for you sir!
"I'm still doing me, I'm still doing it right." What a good quote. You have such wise words sometimes and I really enjoy your take on things. I have only been around since the end of California and move to Alaska. It would be really awesome to meet you guys as a family now.
I was a young kid sitting in India when I originally started watching your video. I remember your videos on making plan to move to Alaska. Didn't stopped watching for years. And someday I forgot to check your channel and later all these year one day now living in UK. I suddenly remembered you and checked out your channel ASAP. And here you are still giving out life lessons fron your experience just the way you were years ago. Thank you for keeping this channel alive. Thank you.
I remember I found your channel years back since elementary. I really think you influenced me alot for the better. You tought me overall meanings of life and I am forever thankful for your videos. In the military now and doing college, thank you cory. Life really is awesome
OH MY GOSHHHHH I remember that tour!! We were stationed in OKC, I was Very Pregnant 😂 with my 2nd baby, my husband was deployed, and I about died with excitement when Shaun signed my guitar! And you were running around like a loon with that horse head on. 😂 I’ve since had that baby and two more kids plus him, and we’re stationed in southern Mississippi now. The pine trees are so thick here that most days I can hardly see the sky. That long stretch of “nothing” on your road trip might be boring but it heals something in my *soul* to see the sky all wide open like that, so thank you. I miss it. ❤ Drive safely!!
It's an incredible thing to have this community of people who grew up on your videos still be updated by you and where you're at. Even though you'll probably not make videos in this way full time again, we'll still be here to receive your updates. It's so cool. Long may it continue.
Wow 12 years. I still have the pictures of you guys when you stopped in Orlando pop up now and then. It's one of my greatest memories. You were so down to earth. All of you. Yes I got that hug too.
It’s crazy how far you’ve come man. I started watching you when I was around 13, Mean kitty song brought me to you. You were just a meme at that time. Turned to a role model and just someone I felt safe watching when I was younger, (both parents were absent). Now I’m 28, a little lost these days but I have a few kids now. You’re not wrong, even through the struggle times are we lucky to be able to experience this life. I’m lucky to have experienced you, and so many others were and still are. You’re a beautiful soul man. I wish you well from WI ❤️
Already 12 years?! I remember being so excited to see what you all got up to on the tour. Being just a teenager all the way over in Norway I had no chance to go, but I was so excited to check in every day for what you got up to on the tour! Had a chance to visit California in 2019, and as we were making our way to San Francisco we drove close enough to Tarantula Hill that I could catch a glimpse of it. Never been starstruck about people, but apparently easily starstruck for a bit of land LOL
Oh my goodness. This is one short but powerful vlog! ❤ I remember watching your tour videos from England and wishing I could come get a hug! Life is a crazy wild adventure! Such a blessing to grow older and look back...not everyone gets to. Glad to be here at the same time as you 🤗
Wow! FLASHBACK! The drama you went through planning that tour in the first place was absolutely ridiculous. I loved meeting you guys in Miami. Sweet memories. ❤️
You change my brothers life, when you told your followers to go and like his video. He’s forever changed, in an amazing way. So much love to you and your family. ❤
I was one of the many people that got to meet you on that tour. I was at your stop in Seattle. I got a gentle version of your epic man hug because I had cancer at the time. I also got to record you (probably poorly, lol) a little bit on either your camera or Kate’s, I don’t remember which. Can’t believe that was 12 years ago, that’s crazy! And look at where you are now! Life is quite the journey, haha. Always good to hear from you! I hope you, your family and whoever might be reading this comment has a great day! ❤️
I was in high school when I started watching you, starting from the Mean Kitty videos, to DudeLikeHella, to now LiveEachDay. Seeing this pop into my feed is something I wasn't expecting but was much welcomed, I think you were there for a time of our lives where we needed that extra push to be more outgoing or wild, so you've also helped in creating better memories for us. I remember for a bit, I would draw a purple cow on my notes during class, and my professors were always confused why it was there, haha. I'm approaching my 30s, currently 26 years old, and needless to say I want to strive to have a good time like you did over the years, taking the good and the bad. Thank you again for the trip down memory lane, and hope we cross paths someday!
God, I remember being fresh out of high school watching and following as best as I could through the DudeLikeHella years. Was a great but scary time, frankly still is scary but I'm still standing here, or sitting here if you want to be technical. Thanks for the Content and the memories Cory. Your videos definitely got me through some really crappy days as I transitioned from high school to the real world.
Hey Cory, I've been watching you since you were Mr. Safety way back in the day, all those years ago, and man, it's been incredible seeing your life evolve as mine also evolves. You're awesome, and I hope all is well in your life.
I remember watching those vlogs. It was such a cool thing to watch you guys travel across the country and also visit Canada. I never knew that about Josh.
I have been following your journey for half my lifespan, over 15 years now! It's been an absolute pleasure to see where you've been and where you are now, loving life and experiencing the highs and lows but always landing on your feet. I hope to meet you and shake your hand someday 🤝
Met you then and it really mattered. I had followed you from the beginning. You were my source of positivity and strength for so many years. It’s crazy how much time has passed. Seeing you now always fills my heart. I’m happy your years have been filled with love and joy. You are one of the most genuine people I ever had the pleasure of meeting. So happy for Shaun too. Love from here to there, kid!! ❤
You’re one of the few UA-camrs that I always come back to check on. I found your vids way back when I was in middle school… I turn 29 in a few days (bday twin! Aug 5). It’s like having a long distance friend every time I see your vids, whether it was on SMPfilms, DLH, LEA, in Kate’s Vlogs way back then… I wish I could’ve met you all back during that tour. Idk where I’m going with this other than we’re getting old 🥲🥲🥲
The music OMG made me teary eyed. So nostalgic. Anytime i hear Projected Twin it reminds me of your vlogs and good times you've shared. I just wish I had the opportunity to have meet ya back then or any time.
I could cry. “My phoenixes!” I still have my shirt and I wear it when I feel down. For many of us, you were a light in our life. For myself, you and what you did carried me through some awful awful times. You were my best friend and a great example of a adult who I hoped to be like one day. My husband and I talk about the connection I feel to you and how it’s really that I consider you my friend even though I’m just a comment right now, I was just another one in the thousands of people you met at the tour or at playlist or wherever it was, I may have only been like a number or a comment to you but you have felt like so much more to me.
Thanks, Cory. :) I think the excitement from back then catapulted you forward. Look at you and your family, now. Our past struggles always give us appreciation at a later point in time. All is well. Sending love and prayers. See you the next time you turn on your camera.
I love your outlook on life. Everything happens for a reason. I feel blessed to have subbed to Kate all those years ago because it meant I got to know you and follow your story, and meat you in person in London which was amazing. Until the next video Cory!
I can't remember how long I've been following you, but "The Craziest Sound on the Internet" (or something like that? The video when you discovered how frozen lakes can sound!) video dragged me in, and I've been following you ever since! I WISH I had found you sooner and had the chance to meet you, but better late than never, right? I feel like you're a long lost cousin, and I'll happily continue to follow you for as long as you're here. Lotsa love & hugs to you and your whole family from the southeast corner of PA!
I just moved to Denver, so that intro threw me for a loop! in 2012 I was 12 years old living outside Dallas, TX and I remember asking my Mom to go to the meetup during your tour. Surprise, It was a "no" & watching your vlog in my city felt similarly to missing a friend's birthday party, lol. You were such a positive influence on me, watching the vlogs felt like I had a lot to look forward to as an adult. Like even the mundane stuff like going furniture shopping and enduring the summer heat, lol. At some point I asked my Mom if I could have a playable guitar shirt like the one you have, and when we adopted our cat, I didn't tell her where I got the name Sparta. She was my best friend, from when I was 11, all the way up to when I was 22, when she passed on Halloween. Thank you for being around, sharing your words and experiences- your perspective on life is really refreshing. really crazy how much things change!
i literally just showed a friend of mine the Mean Kitty song a couple nights ago and talked to them about how much of an impact you had on my life. 12 years ago, i was 12 about to turn 13 and wanted nothing more than to be a professional idiot and make others laugh. life is extremely daunting and hard right now at 24 (nearly 25), but hearing your words have lifted a small weight. thank you for everything Cory, you're a rockstar!!!
I started watching you as a 7 year old learning English and really loving the Mean Kitty channel, as a teen I watched you in Alaska and got my mum into watching your vlogs with me- I am now 19 years old in university!! I literally grew up watching you
I can’t believe it was 12 years ago! I started watching SMPfilms when I was in primary school (~2008) and now I’m a lawyer! Time goes by so quickly. Always amazing content from you! :)
Saw you guys in Boston! Was in film school at the time and looking back it seems so long ago but also like, last month! Happy to be still in the world of video, though mostly on the corporate side, its still something i love. Always a treat to catch a videi from you, much love from all of us Phoenixes! Still have the SMP shirt, its officially retired from being worn and is now a great piece of the 'time capsule' of my college days ❤️
I really miss all your old DudeLikeHella videos, I remember wanting to rewatch all the years I watched you when I was growing up. Coming home after school each day and wanting to see what you did. I was heartbroken I was too busy with life to realize you removed them all, I really do miss them all. Had a dream with you today too. I still wanna be a vlogger after all these years too, I miss the purple cow, the hyperspace drives, portal, and the traveling, the old jeep. Love you Cory, as much as I regret not being able to relive all the years, the memories will still be with all of us.
Wow it's amazing to see how far you have come since i watched you in the early SMP films days to now with a loving family, it always brings me joy to watch your videos!
Man, I can't belive you are just now posting these videos reminiscing, when I started watching your old vlogs again a few weeks ago. It makes me so emotional, I am constantly crying. Oh man, such good times..
It was such a pleasure to meet you and your friends when you came to Des Moines, to the slightly sketchy park and the zombie burger afterwards. I ended up winning the title as the oldest person there at the meet-up at 24 years old and therefore won the sponsorship energy drink sample. I had so much fun that day! Much love Corey! So happy to see more vlogs like this recently!
I met you guys in Portland, Maine during that time and it will always be a core memory for me! I remember watching along before and after you got here and all the excitement. I have continued to watch your videos through all these years and it truly is a special thing. Life is such an amazing experience. I mean as humans, we exist against such incredible odds so it's best to just sit back and enjoy the ride as much as you can. Especially all the little things. Love you all
I remember the Toledo meetup. I went there because you decided against Detroit for safety reasons. So I drove an hour away to Toledo to see you, and I was 18 years old, you were 30. I’m now 30, the age you were during the roadtrip. We did a huge EPIC MAN HUG. It was fun. I was super skinny back then, buffed up a little, but you were fresh off the Gold’s Gym challenge, and you lifted me above your head 😂 it was definitely fun, as I started watching you since I was like 14-15, so it was surreal to finally meet you. I even got emotional after you left because we had such a good time hanging out. Kate was cool too. Had a good experience with the both of you. Glad to see you are still doing well, Corey. 🤘
I just did an 8 day trip to Illinois then Ohio from tn with my kids. It was wonderful and I feel so refreshed. Road trips are magical. I wish I could have met you in Chicago but I was getting married that weekend and yah.
Would love to give you a big hug since you are in our neck of the woods. Just to thank you for the many years of smiles, laughs and tears. Been watching you for at least 12 years but we were not in Colorado your last road trip. Bless you and your sweet family. ❤
I grew up with your videos as a young teen, and now I've reached 30 years old as a grown man!
Keep doing what you do, and congrats for the beautiful family you've raised now!
I can't believe it was 12 years ago. I'm approaching the age you were back then and I feel so far behind in life. Grateful to have seen your journey and I'll always appreciate the things you've taught me.
Nah. You’re not behind. You’re on your own path and there’s nobody ahead of you or behind you. Focus on what TRULY matters the most in life and you’ll see that.
@@LiveEachDayabsolutely true dude 🤙🏻 we are all spiritual beings having a human experience, not human beings having a spiritual experience. ❤
same
Im the same. Was going to leave a comment but yours is the exact same as mine.
Thankyou Cory.
Lmao I’m the same . Rememberd this bro nd came to check out the Chanel after 8-9 years . Nostalgia is crazy
Your Alaska vlog and living in alaska series were my childhood! I remember staying up till 6 am catching up on those vlogs.
All of these moments are so good! ❤
Your Alaska Vlog is one of the reasons I got to move to Alaska! I can’t believe how long ago it was
Greetings from germany. One of your long time follower. I love you and your family. It was fun and sometimes even sad to follow you and seeing your up and downs.
But everything you did, was pure love! And now you have a beautiful family!
I will never forget Alaska. That was so intense and fun to watch!
Wow, this brought back so many memories for me. Mean Kitty song was when I first subscribed to your channel. We sure have been through a good chunk of life since then, eh?
Life is moving so fast. Gotta love it though!
I started watching you WAY BACK in 1000 Oaks. When you drove around your Longboard and your Beach Buggy!
I watched all your VLOGS with your partner back then, your Cat Videos (R.I.P. Sparta and Loki)
I watched the one special new years Video and even though, those videos are long gone, they REALLY made an impression on me.
Then came all your Travel VLogs to Alaska. Your now Wife!
The one very spezial Video, where Kristen surprised you with the Banana Glass, announcing your FIRST Child! Chell.
Pregnancy, Birth, Moving, EVERYTHING!!
And Boy you DID influence me. You showed me, what is important. You showed me, how I want to treat my wife. and you know... I'm 33 now. Have a Wife and our Son is 17 Month as of writing this comment.
I can't tell you, how much you helped me through desperate times, how many times Sparta made me laugh, how many times you and Kate brought a smile to my face even though live didn't treat me well back then.
And If I could, If I had the chance, I'd would LOVE to meet you in person, show you my Wife and my Son and Hug you. Say Thanks because I'm pretty sure, that without your Videos, I would not be, where I am today. I'd still blame the world for everything.
Seriously... thank you!
all of this, yes
I miss the old internet, started following you when Sparta blew up with the Mean Kitty song. Really happy to see you doing well after all these years.
Started watching your videos back when you first moved to Alaska, your trip to South Korea.. I was about 15/16 then. I’m 26 now and it feels like yesterday. Your channel won’t be forgotten. One of the most wholesome channels UA-cam had. God speed to you.
12 years ago I got out of the army, went to the barber and told him
"Give me the Cory williams"
still rocking that wavy pointy mohawk to this day.
you can not believe the feeling i got when i saw your channels name and the word "uploaded 7 hours ago".
♥♥♥
Jesus... That cross America trip. I still remember that vividly. Back when you were fully DudeLikeHella. I do miss those days. I remember those days well. I try to see the old videos from time to time. The 12 week challenge I was so proud watching you go from a already kinda fit bloke to a muscle powerhouse! Cory, from not just me but from everyone who watches you. Thank you, We all love you!!
I met you in Indianapolis. I got my hug and you changed my life, Cory. Meeting you was the fuel I needed to go after my passion to live life to the absolute fullest and work as a film maker. I’m doing it all today thanks to you. I still look back to the old DudeLikeHella days, because those days I lived for your vlogs and they got me through high school. Thanks for the memories
I haven't seen your videos in so long. Just wanted to check back in and oh this brought back so many memories
Watched back to before you moved to alaska. Cant believe its been 10 years since your video of skipping rocks on ice
I remember meeting you in KC 12 years ago. I had been watching your videos since the mean kitty video and was a religious follower of your videos. I remember being starstruck seeing you in person. You towered over me by at least a foot and you gave me a hug. All I could say was “Thank you” at the time, but my gratitude couldn’t possibly be conveyed in just those words. You brought so much joy and laughs to my life over the years that “thank you” just couldn’t cut it. But in that moment being there with about 30 strangers all to see someone most of us had probably never met before - it was a truly special moment of unity I’d never seen up to that point. That day is a special memory for me. So 12 years later, thank you Cory for bringing so much joy to my life. I miss your videos but am grateful anytime I do get to see you on here. Take care & God bless - Cory from KC.
that song at the end is one of my most fave songs of all time. Ive been a fan for years and i remember all of that. i wish i could have seen ya'll on tour but i had my own "life" going on, and thank God it has finally improved and changed for the better. Looking back on just ur life alone helps me cope with mine. good and bad. thanks for being such a huge inspiration not just with fun videos but with life in general. your whole outlook and approach to life inspires me to get past the past and enjoy the present and look forward to the future. thanks for the memories Mr Safety.
I haven’t been around as long as some other people here, not quite since the mean kitty song, but I do remember when you first moved to Alaska, when Chell was born, all of that. I was one of many watching your videos growing up
I'm following you from Belgium for about 17 years now. And even though we never met (and probably never will); you have been a inspiration to me. To live life to the fullest and enjoy it! Thank you and all the best to you and your family!
I was 13 when you were on tour and didn't have the means to see you in person. I live by Chicago and remember thinking "Someday I'll go to the park he was at, even if he's not there!". Life has caught up to me and occupied me for good reasons, but I still hold fondly coming home from middle school to a DUDELIKEHELLA vlog and watching from afar. I'm in graduate school now and feel so blessed to have watched you continuously from then till now. Thank you for being in my life, even if it's only parasocially!
We wouldn’t have known you were scared. You were our captain and a fine captain you were!
When can I meet you and your family? I live in claremore. I’ve been watching you from the beginning ❤❤❤❤
I have been watching your videos since 2008 and they have gotten me through some tough times in my life, especially from 2011 through 2013. You taught me when life gives me lemons, I take those lemons and make lemonade. 😀Ever since, I make my best effort to face any adversity or misfortune with optimism and a positive can-do attitude. Thank you Cory for being awesome and continuing to help and inspire others. I am proud to be your phoenix. ♥
I got reminded of your channel a couple weeks ago when my bf asked my opinion on naming our future child(ren) after video game characters. lol I immediately remembered when y'all were expecting Chell! Just spent forever looking for you and it's so cool to see you've kept making videos
I'm grateful for all your vlogs and kate, I'm sad most of the content was erased and off the internet, there was a few accounts popped up with reups and I ripped them as fast as I could.
Those vlogs were my safe space in my late teen and I watch those old vlogs time to time. The apartment complex you lived in was ..or from the vlog point of view such nice place
Hope you had a good x mas and happy new year 🎉🎉🎉 have fun.
Time flies so quickly..
I remember getting home from school to watch your Vlogs in LA and be amazed by the American life that was so different than here in France.
Feeling nostalgic just thinking about it.. it was a different time for sure. UA-cam was something else and I’m thankful for what I learnt growing up thanks to amazing content creators like you!
Wishing you all the best Cory and I hope someday our path will cross so that I can give you an epic man hug !
I’ve been watching you since I was at least 7 or 8. The mean kitty was the first channel I ever subscribed to. Now I’m 19 and I’m studying psychology to learn about what programs increase the quality of life in countries. I’ve been watching you for years and I’ve loved every video. I remember when instead of showering you decided to take the doors and roof off your jeep and go through a car wash. I remember when Kristen announced her first pregnancy by having you sample baby food. It’s been such a journey to see how your life has changed and how you’ve grown. I don’t want to overstep but you’ve been in my life for so long and it’s been such a pleasure to know you.
Also I think seeing the joy you have from traveling is part of the reason why I love long road trips. I remember so many of your videos having you taking such long trips and always having such a great time.
Those videos were super awesome to watch! I loved that time in your story.
Omg Corey I hope you see this...congratulations on your roll in the Regan movie....I saw you right away. Great job and I hope to see you in more movies in the future. 🎉❤🥳 BTW hello from Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Cory. I am a fellow Okie, born and raised. I've been watching you since Mean Kitty - Creature of the Night. I remember the wedding live stream, the start of DudeLikeHella, your Gold's Gym competition. I remember the ridiculousness of sticking your hands in a toaster, and I remember you flipping a buggy down a hill (and the injured wrist). You moving to Alaska would later become encouragement for me to move to a brand new state, hauling my car behind a UHaul, just like you did. I was too young at the time of your tour to have met you, I wish I had the opportunity! You should know you've had an impact on a number of us who grew up watching your videos. This upload comes at interesting time for me. Tomorrow I have an interview with OKC in efforts of achieving my lifelong goal of becoming a firefighter. Something that I know is also part of your past, Mr. Safety! You've accomplished so much in this life, and have shared wisdom with so many you don't even know. You deserve all of your joy and happiness. Best wishes to ya!
I’m part of the younger audience that’s been watching you guys since about 2015/2016, I was around 10-11 years old. I’m now starting my second year of college soon! I remember nagging my mom to go see you at vloggerfair, I lived no where near WA at the time LOL. Love these little updates you post every so often, can’t wait to see more in the future!
Miss seeing you and your adventures ❤😊
I wish I had been aware of you 12 years ago. But I “met” you and Kristen when you started your drive to ALASKA - DUDE LIKE HELLA! Different roads also give me different vibes.
You forgot to say goodbye. But I think I Love You is even better. I love you too. Hugs.
Hey Corey been here since day one. I came downstairs to find my children watching silly crocodile- and I had a sense of pride. 🥰
No idea how long I've been following at this point but its been well over a decade now and seeing you post still feels as good as it always has.
I love listening to projected twin. I missed out on your road trip but loved your move to Alaska and the life you lived there, you showed me things I’d never dreamed of. I have to confess I do miss the adventures you went on… hiking, metal detecting, chasing the Iditarod… you really did give me something to look forward to at a time when my life was pretty bleak. You choosing to do things to learn and discover something new rather than simmering where it’s safe helped me to start thinking beyond my own safe zone. Much love to you and your precious family.
During that tour, I was 12 years old and live across the world, in India. I wished I could have attended somehow. Either way, it truly is nostalgic to remember those days, 12 years later, today. We've all come a long way and done a lot of things. But never hurts to look back and say. "Man, I've come quite far". Either way, nice to see Mr safety is still around and having fun. Cheers from the other side of the globe.
So you’re 24 now? That was half your life ago! Haha! Big hugs
@@LiveEachDay yeah, man. I used to watch your early smpfilms videos from the late 2000s when I used to come home from school. Most kids watches courage the cowardly dogs or power rangers, I watched SMP skits!
Also, there's a joke I've always wanted to make it if i ever got to meet you (i'd also ask for an epic man hug if i could). Guess this is my one chance to say it. I came up with it when you announced you were gonna become a dad.
"I guess 100 rubber bands to the balls is the limit"
When I first started watching your videos I was probably around 10 or 11. I am now 22, and I cannot express enough how essential your videos were in my growing up. I frequently visit your channel to see what you and your family are up to, and it blows my mind how big Chell and Atlas are now. Much love to you and your family! Thanks for the 10+ years of putting a smile on my face :)
I started watching when I was a freshman in highschool I'm now 26 with 2 kids man we've come a long way
I was an Alaska Era watcher (best Era imo). Glad to see your doing well
Met you with my older brother in Salt Lake City. I was a 15 year old then, now I'm 27. You picked me up and hung me upside down by my legs. I even have a photo of the moment saved on my computer. It was a great time.
The way I like to look at it, we have all made it this far and it's been ok. Alive and fighting through it all.
Bro! I've been with you since the broken collar back yard wrestling SMP days! It's been a hell of a ride watching your journey while living my life through your eyes. I'm your friend til the end brother. I have mad respect for you sir!
I was at the Chicago stop! Can't believe that was 12 years ago; how time flies!
"I'm still doing me, I'm still doing it right." What a good quote. You have such wise words sometimes and I really enjoy your take on things. I have only been around since the end of California and move to Alaska. It would be really awesome to meet you guys as a family now.
Sending warm wishes Cory, been watching you since like 2006/2007.
I was a young kid sitting in India when I originally started watching your video.
I remember your videos on making plan to move to Alaska. Didn't stopped watching for years.
And someday I forgot to check your channel and later all these year one day now living in UK. I suddenly remembered you and checked out your channel ASAP. And here you are still giving out life lessons fron your experience just the way you were years ago.
Thank you for keeping this channel alive. Thank you.
I remember I found your channel years back since elementary. I really think you influenced me alot for the better. You tought me overall meanings of life and I am forever thankful for your videos. In the military now and doing college, thank you cory. Life really is awesome
OH MY GOSHHHHH I remember that tour!! We were stationed in OKC, I was Very Pregnant 😂 with my 2nd baby, my husband was deployed, and I about died with excitement when Shaun signed my guitar! And you were running around like a loon with that horse head on. 😂 I’ve since had that baby and two more kids plus him, and we’re stationed in southern Mississippi now. The pine trees are so thick here that most days I can hardly see the sky. That long stretch of “nothing” on your road trip might be boring but it heals something in my *soul* to see the sky all wide open like that, so thank you. I miss it. ❤ Drive safely!!
Magical vlogs with passion and music and mostly.. Sir Cory. Will never forget those.
It's an incredible thing to have this community of people who grew up on your videos still be updated by you and where you're at. Even though you'll probably not make videos in this way full time again, we'll still be here to receive your updates. It's so cool. Long may it continue.
We love you dude, grew up watching the mean kitty and every single proyect you made. Lots of respect.
Wow 12 years. I still have the pictures of you guys when you stopped in Orlando pop up now and then. It's one of my greatest memories. You were so down to earth. All of you. Yes I got that hug too.
It’s crazy how far you’ve come man. I started watching you when I was around 13, Mean kitty song brought me to you. You were just a meme at that time. Turned to a role model and just someone I felt safe watching when I was younger, (both parents were absent). Now I’m 28, a little lost these days but I have a few kids now. You’re not wrong, even through the struggle times are we lucky to be able to experience this life. I’m lucky to have experienced you, and so many others were and still are. You’re a beautiful soul man. I wish you well from WI ❤️
Already 12 years?! I remember being so excited to see what you all got up to on the tour. Being just a teenager all the way over in Norway I had no chance to go, but I was so excited to check in every day for what you got up to on the tour!
Had a chance to visit California in 2019, and as we were making our way to San Francisco we drove close enough to Tarantula Hill that I could catch a glimpse of it. Never been starstruck about people, but apparently easily starstruck for a bit of land LOL
It doesn't feel like it's been that long. We were so excited you came to our town to visit 🥰 thank you for making the trip
Oh my goodness. This is one short but powerful vlog! ❤ I remember watching your tour videos from England and wishing I could come get a hug!
Life is a crazy wild adventure! Such a blessing to grow older and look back...not everyone gets to. Glad to be here at the same time as you 🤗
Wow! FLASHBACK! The drama you went through planning that tour in the first place was absolutely ridiculous. I loved meeting you guys in Miami. Sweet memories. ❤️
You change my brothers life, when you told your followers to go and like his video. He’s forever changed, in an amazing way. So much love to you and your family. ❤
I was one of the many people that got to meet you on that tour. I was at your stop in Seattle. I got a gentle version of your epic man hug because I had cancer at the time. I also got to record you (probably poorly, lol) a little bit on either your camera or Kate’s, I don’t remember which. Can’t believe that was 12 years ago, that’s crazy! And look at where you are now! Life is quite the journey, haha. Always good to hear from you!
I hope you, your family and whoever might be reading this comment has a great day! ❤️
I was in high school when I started watching you, starting from the Mean Kitty videos, to DudeLikeHella, to now LiveEachDay. Seeing this pop into my feed is something I wasn't expecting but was much welcomed, I think you were there for a time of our lives where we needed that extra push to be more outgoing or wild, so you've also helped in creating better memories for us. I remember for a bit, I would draw a purple cow on my notes during class, and my professors were always confused why it was there, haha. I'm approaching my 30s, currently 26 years old, and needless to say I want to strive to have a good time like you did over the years, taking the good and the bad. Thank you again for the trip down memory lane, and hope we cross paths someday!
I miss seeing you guys on a regular basis. Kids have gotten so big. And you’ll always be dude like Hella to me..
I do miss vlogging a lot. Sharing little bits and pieces overtime as much healthier for me though. My love for you all definitely hasn’t diminished.
It's been that long!? Wow and also Happy Birthday Cory!! I hope that this year you get to do everything you want to do with your family and friends.
God, I remember being fresh out of high school watching and following as best as I could through the DudeLikeHella years. Was a great but scary time, frankly still is scary but I'm still standing here, or sitting here if you want to be technical. Thanks for the Content and the memories Cory. Your videos definitely got me through some really crappy days as I transitioned from high school to the real world.
Hey Cory, I've been watching you since you were Mr. Safety way back in the day, all those years ago, and man, it's been incredible seeing your life evolve as mine also evolves. You're awesome, and I hope all is well in your life.
I remember watching those vlogs. It was such a cool thing to watch you guys travel across the country and also visit Canada. I never knew that about Josh.
I have been following your journey for half my lifespan, over 15 years now! It's been an absolute pleasure to see where you've been and where you are now, loving life and experiencing the highs and lows but always landing on your feet. I hope to meet you and shake your hand someday 🤝
Met you then and it really mattered. I had followed you from the beginning. You were my source of positivity and strength for so many years. It’s crazy how much time has passed. Seeing you now always fills my heart. I’m happy your years have been filled with love and joy. You are one of the most genuine people I ever had the pleasure of meeting. So happy for Shaun too.
Love from here to there, kid!! ❤
You’re one of the few UA-camrs that I always come back to check on. I found your vids way back when I was in middle school… I turn 29 in a few days (bday twin! Aug 5). It’s like having a long distance friend every time I see your vids, whether it was on SMPfilms, DLH, LEA, in Kate’s Vlogs way back then… I wish I could’ve met you all back during that tour. Idk where I’m going with this other than we’re getting old 🥲🥲🥲
The music OMG made me teary eyed. So nostalgic. Anytime i hear Projected Twin it reminds me of your vlogs and good times you've shared. I just wish I had the opportunity to have meet ya back then or any time.
I could cry. “My phoenixes!” I still have my shirt and I wear it when I feel down. For many of us, you were a light in our life. For myself, you and what you did carried me through some awful awful times. You were my best friend and a great example of a adult who I hoped to be like one day. My husband and I talk about the connection I feel to you and how it’s really that I consider you my friend even though I’m just a comment right now, I was just another one in the thousands of people you met at the tour or at playlist or wherever it was, I may have only been like a number or a comment to you but you have felt like so much more to me.
My wife and I used to watch all your Alaska videos. It was like our movie night!
CORY followed you 16 yrs ago THE MEAN KITTY videos Sparta and Loki were the best I'm so glad I'm following you. BLESSED
Thanks, Cory. :) I think the excitement from back then catapulted you forward. Look at you and your family, now. Our past struggles always give us appreciation at a later point in time. All is well. Sending love and prayers. See you the next time you turn on your camera.
I love your outlook on life. Everything happens for a reason. I feel blessed to have subbed to Kate all those years ago because it meant I got to know you and follow your story, and meat you in person in London which was amazing. Until the next video Cory!
I can't remember how long I've been following you, but "The Craziest Sound on the Internet" (or something like that? The video when you discovered how frozen lakes can sound!) video dragged me in, and I've been following you ever since! I WISH I had found you sooner and had the chance to meet you, but better late than never, right? I feel like you're a long lost cousin, and I'll happily continue to follow you for as long as you're here. Lotsa love & hugs to you and your whole family from the southeast corner of PA!
I just moved to Denver, so that intro threw me for a loop! in 2012 I was 12 years old living outside Dallas, TX and I remember asking my Mom to go to the meetup during your tour. Surprise, It was a "no" & watching your vlog in my city felt similarly to missing a friend's birthday party, lol. You were such a positive influence on me, watching the vlogs felt like I had a lot to look forward to as an adult. Like even the mundane stuff like going furniture shopping and enduring the summer heat, lol. At some point I asked my Mom if I could have a playable guitar shirt like the one you have, and when we adopted our cat, I didn't tell her where I got the name Sparta. She was my best friend, from when I was 11, all the way up to when I was 22, when she passed on Halloween. Thank you for being around, sharing your words and experiences- your perspective on life is really refreshing. really crazy how much things change!
I started watching in 2015 you had just moved to alaska. The stone you skipped is what got me interested
I was watching that journey and recall the breakup. Life hits us hard. Still watching your life journey and love you for sharing it.
i literally just showed a friend of mine the Mean Kitty song a couple nights ago and talked to them about how much of an impact you had on my life. 12 years ago, i was 12 about to turn 13 and wanted nothing more than to be a professional idiot and make others laugh.
life is extremely daunting and hard right now at 24 (nearly 25), but hearing your words have lifted a small weight. thank you for everything Cory, you're a rockstar!!!
I remember the IRL tour very well. My daughters and I met up with you in Philadelphia. It was a lot of fun. 😊
I started watching you as a 7 year old learning English and really loving the Mean Kitty channel, as a teen I watched you in Alaska and got my mum into watching your vlogs with me- I am now 19 years old in university!! I literally grew up watching you
I can’t believe it was 12 years ago! I started watching SMPfilms when I was in primary school (~2008) and now I’m a lawyer! Time goes by so quickly. Always amazing content from you! :)
My wife and I met y'all in Dallas, and got hugs from y'all, and watched you make the video waiting for the eclipse to happen that day.
Be safe Cory. Blessings to you. 😊👋🏻
I’m parked now. Charge the warp machine. ;)
Saw you guys in Boston! Was in film school at the time and looking back it seems so long ago but also like, last month! Happy to be still in the world of video, though mostly on the corporate side, its still something i love. Always a treat to catch a videi from you, much love from all of us Phoenixes!
Still have the SMP shirt, its officially retired from being worn and is now a great piece of the 'time capsule' of my college days ❤️
I really miss all your old DudeLikeHella videos, I remember wanting to rewatch all the years I watched you when I was growing up. Coming home after school each day and wanting to see what you did.
I was heartbroken I was too busy with life to realize you removed them all, I really do miss them all. Had a dream with you today too.
I still wanna be a vlogger after all these years too, I miss the purple cow, the hyperspace drives, portal, and the traveling, the old jeep. Love you Cory, as much as I regret not being able to relive all the years, the memories will still be with all of us.
Wow it's amazing to see how far you have come since i watched you in the early SMP films days to now with a loving family, it always brings me joy to watch your videos!
Wow I remember watching those vlogs. That was such a great time. Forever fan man, and I hope you're well!
Man, I can't belive you are just now posting these videos reminiscing, when I started watching your old vlogs again a few weeks ago. It makes me so emotional, I am constantly crying. Oh man, such good times..
It was such a pleasure to meet you and your friends when you came to Des Moines, to the slightly sketchy park and the zombie burger afterwards. I ended up winning the title as the oldest person there at the meet-up at 24 years old and therefore won the sponsorship energy drink sample. I had so much fun that day!
Much love Corey! So happy to see more vlogs like this recently!
I met you guys in Portland, Maine during that time and it will always be a core memory for me! I remember watching along before and after you got here and all the excitement. I have continued to watch your videos through all these years and it truly is a special thing. Life is such an amazing experience. I mean as humans, we exist against such incredible odds so it's best to just sit back and enjoy the ride as much as you can. Especially all the little things. Love you all
Been here since the beginning. Thank you for helping shape my childhood. We love you and your family Cory 🖤
That road trip was one of the driving forces behind me moving from Germany to the US 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🗽
You're the real deal Cory ❤
Cory, met you at John Ball Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. What a fun and awesome meetup. I need another EPIC MAN HUG!
That was such a great time!!! I got to meet you in Cincinnati and still to this day have the pictures/videos associated with it. I'll never forget it!
I remember the Toledo meetup. I went there because you decided against Detroit for safety reasons. So I drove an hour away to Toledo to see you, and I was 18 years old, you were 30. I’m now 30, the age you were during the roadtrip. We did a huge EPIC MAN HUG. It was fun. I was super skinny back then, buffed up a little, but you were fresh off the Gold’s Gym challenge, and you lifted me above your head 😂 it was definitely fun, as I started watching you since I was like 14-15, so it was surreal to finally meet you. I even got emotional after you left because we had such a good time hanging out. Kate was cool too. Had a good experience with the both of you. Glad to see you are still doing well, Corey. 🤘
Thank you Cory for all the memories. From my Teenager years till now in my 30s. I have so much great memories about you. And that time back than ❤️🫡
That tour was the highlight of my teenage years. Thanks for doing that ❤
I just did an 8 day trip to Illinois then Ohio from tn with my kids. It was wonderful and I feel so refreshed. Road trips are magical. I wish I could have met you in Chicago but I was getting married that weekend and yah.
Would love to give you a big hug since you are in our neck of the woods. Just to thank you for the many years of smiles, laughs and tears. Been watching you for at least 12 years but we were not
in Colorado your last road trip. Bless you and your sweet family. ❤
