Wow I dont know what to say man. I cant even begin to fathom going through that kind of loss. Im amazed by your courage in deciding to share that story and how youve stayed a genuine person through it all I remember when you first started out and you, Doc, and I would do livestreams that were a ton of fun. Congrats on 100 videos man and if you ever need to talk im here for you bud.
Thanks very much for the kind words man! I was just talking about the beginning with Doc. Those were some fun times! He just posted a vid showing some of the times when he first started. Funny stuff! Let me know if you have any questions for the Q and A!
Wow man what an incredible story to tell all of us. Thankful for you to have shared that. Congrats on the 100th video, such a milestone. Glad to be a friend and you always have my support. Take care!
Thanks so much Brian! I am glad you are my friend as well! It is the support from people like you that made me do this video! I knew that there are so many good people out there that would benefit from hearing it! You have a question for the Q and A? and want to be in the drawing??
Yeah man, actually....what's the best trip or family trip you've ever been on? What is your favorite food and do you like spicy foods? I'd like to be in the drawing for that Paddington blu. Thanks again!
Hope you had a great fathers day man. Super cool of you to share your story. I cant even begin to imagine what its like and having 3 of my own, Im sitting hear in tears and smiling all at the same time, nothing in this world will ever be able to come close to the bond that a child should have with a parent. Congrats on your second and third kid man, they're lucky to have you as a dad.
See I knew there would be someone I forgot to mention in the video! Just know that I respect you Elias and the job you do as a father as well! Man you said it...the bond we formed in just 4months 3 days is stronger than any in my life! Thank you for the kind words and also setting a good example as a father yourself! You have any questions for the Q and A?
First of all, Congratulations on your 100th video, man. I'm almost there myself (4 videos away). Second, thank you so much for sharing your story, James. Such a brave thing to do. I love you and your family because you're such beautiful people. Anything you ever need, man...you know where to find me. Madison's picture is beautiful, and that Lady Bug story is incredible. The part with the box also. You know I've spoken to you about these things before and I truly believe them. Happy Happy Father's Day , my friend. You're an amazing father to all 3 of your kids. God Bless.
That is awesome man! 100 videos is a real commitment! I felt like I needed to tell this story now and I am glad there are people out there that can be helped just from hearing it. Thanks for the kind words man!
Congrats on your 100th video but beyond that congrats on the success on your channel. I saw the shirts on Instagram and loved them such a great idea. I give you all the credit in the world, sharing a such a personal story is never easy. I commend you on your bravery and positive attitude. Your truly a stand up guy and you have a amazing family, the pictures of Madison are gorgeous, the Ladybug story really touched me. Thank you for sharing man, much love to you, your family and the papadook.
Thanks so much Doc!! Man I remember when me and you were starting out with MArvelDCFansReviews just trying to meet people and you were one of the first ones I met! You have always been there man and I really appreciate it! I am so glad her story touched so many people and are reminding people to never take the time you have with your loved ones for granted!
Congrats on the 100 videos block! I really hope you were having a good father's day. That is really a meaningful story you shared. I can really see how much positivity came from this child. That is pretty awesome you will be getting a trip to hawaii hopefully it will make you guys overcome the situation. I gotta admit i never seen a picture more lovely than that. Take care block and hope your staying strong. Pretty good to treasure the picture. :)
Thank you very much! I had a great Fathers Day! I am glad people can see her in a positive way and she is making a difference! Thanks so much for the kind words!
No problem Block, i am glad to see you had a great father's day. Still too bad to hear about the loss but still overall a heartfelt and touching story. The ladybug story was pretty great also. I hope you reach 200 very soon. :)
So brave of you to put this out there. So sorry for your loss I couldn't imagine losing a child. I agree with you 100% family is everything and like you said she will be waiting for you up there when your time on this earth is done. I can tell you are a great guy even from your videos seeing how you interact with your family and this community...2nd congrats on the 100th video and keep up the great content man! 👍🏻
Thanks very much! I really appreciate the kind words! I am glad people can see that I am genuine when it comes to my family! Man 100 videos is crazy to think about. Especially since I only do like 1 a week max! Do you have any questions for the Q and A?
Finally have a question...What live action movie do you think could be made into a great animated film? Also since you are a big fan of horror and cheese, what would be your plot for a cheesy/horror film if you were to write one?
man, I can't even imagine or pretend to understand what going through a situation like that would do to me. makes me sad and angry just to think about it. keep on staying strong and keep on loving your family as much as you do! xoxo
Man it was rough but you just have to keep going...as cliche as it is one step in front of the next...I will continue to love and appreciate every moment with my kids! You can count on that! You have any questions for the Q and A? and want to be in the drawing?
James- i know it took alot of courage to make this video! Much respect to you and your family and most of all you again for being raw and real while sharing this with your viewers! You have def grown on here and youre def one of the channels I have to watch on a consistant basis. If i may ask a question... What set of people or videos gave you the inspiration to start making videos? And did you in your wildest dreams imagine you would be making videos this long? Since im late to this I assume Paddington was given away lol take care brother! Happy belated fathers day!
Thanks so much Leeroy! Really means a lot to hear guys like you say that. You have been with me from the beginning and I really appreciate it man! I haven't done any of the giveaways yet. I am going to give this one more week for people to ask questions and then answer them and give them away! So your name will be in there for Paddy! Thanks again my friend!

I think we started about the same time and I just glad to have met you as I enjoy your vids. Cheers man congrats man! As far as a question? Knowing that you hate both of these films, if you were forced to watch one of these films everyday for the rest of your life would it be 2001 A Space Odyssey or The Babadook?

For sure Scott! It definitely put things into perspective. Man thanks so much for the kind words. I am sure when you become a father you will be the best you can be. Love the questions man! I can't wait to answer them! You will be in the drawing for the steel!
Hey James, happy father´s day buddy! Really sorry to hear about Madison, and as you say, the hardest thing is that the reason it happened wasn´t really explained, from what I know of you, I think you are a great dad and my thoughts go out to you and your family. Love that picture of Madison! Here are my questions: 1)Have you ever met a famous actor/actress? How did it happen? What did you say/speak about? 2)What is your favourite movie with cars in it and what is your favourite car in a movie? 3)What is the one film you regret not seeing in the cinema and why? I would to be in the hat for the Cloverfield Steelbook!!! Great video as always, you know I have been following your channel since the beginning and I will always do, hope you enjoy the retreat get away in Hawaii!!! Take care mate.
Thanks so much man for the kind words! Great questions man! I Can't wait to answer them! Thank you so much for always being a supporter of my channel man! You are the best!
Great story man unfortunate man but it takes a strong man to tell a story like this so I gotta say much respect and keep up the good work peace brother
Thank you for the kind words! I just listened to the Cinema Scumbags Podcast this morning on the way to work and heard them mention you asking them a question! Thank you for supporting the community! Do you have a question for the Q and A and want to be entered in the drawing?
Congrats on 100 videos, and a very touching 100th video at that. My question for you is what is your favorite steelbook in your collection? Would be happy with any of those prizes thanks
Wow man took courage and heart to make this video I'm absolutely 100% behind you brother you have a big heart and it's inspiring man. My question is What was your first Blu Ray? Put me down for cloverfield brother Many prayers sent for you and your family be easy bro
Wow man I know that had to be hard to talk about on RU-vid. So sorry for your family's lose. As a father myself I can't even think about something like that happening. Took a lot to share that. As for the q&a if you could change anything about one movie you either like or dislike to make it better? I guess put me in for that Paddington set. Can't wait to see the answer vid. Take care man and much love and respect to your family.
It was definitely not easy to talk about and I lost sleep over it many nights thinking about if I should talk about it! But I am glad I did as I know it helped a lot of people! Thanks very much for the question and you will definitely be in the drawing for Paddington!
Thanks for sharing the story. I know how hard that must have been..Got a couple of questions...What's your favorite sequel? How do you feel about movie remakes(best and worst)? Put me into the 10 cloverfield lane steelbook drawing...
Thanks for the questions! I will add them this weekend! I am glad I had the courage and so many people were touched by her story! Look forward to answering all these!!
So sorry to hear about Madison. And happy belated fathers day. What was your first ever blu ray purchased? And what really made you keep on buying and buying? *paddington
Hi buddy very heart felt vid and sorry for your loss as a daddy myself I know how that pain must feel but it good that you and your wife keep close through the pain. You are a cool dude buddy and my question is do you have a fave director? If I lucky I would like the 10 cloverfield lane Steelbook. Thankyou and take care buddy.
Thanks so much for the kind words! That was our only option man was to cling to each other to get through that! Thanks for the question and I can't wait to answer them! You will for sure be in the hat for the Steel!
Has the Blu-tube community introduced you to new things in regards to film? 10 Cloverfield Lane Steelbook for me, and I commend you for sharing such a personal story.
wow James your the man. I knew your story already and I know we are just work buddies but I feel more connected to you than you know. you see I tell everyone about your story when I think about God and how he exists. you see I remember when you told me that story about the lady bug being in the hospital room when your son was born. I right away knew that was Madison cuz yall called her Maddy bug. so I use your story as a story of faith. I never told you this because I didn't know how but that day your daughter passed I woke up feeling so bad so nervous so scared that something either already happened or was going to. then I got the news about your daughter. my heart sank. it truly did. so I don't know y I felt that or y I was chosen to connect with you on that level but as you know my son was born January 29 2015 and he was born premature. he was in nicu in an incubator. now we suffered a lot and struggled. my wife was crying and hurt. she also had already known your story. so one day while I was at work she texted me a photo of a lady bug on my son's incubator. my girl right away thought about you, your wife and Madison. and when I received that photo I thought the same. I feel in a way she was there to protect my son and to help him get out of the incubator and be a strong healthy baby. to this day I swear I always see a lady bug and I always think of Madison. we may not see her but her presence is strongly felt and her name will live forever. just wanted to share this story with you on here because it's hard for me to tell you in your face without getting emotional. again I don't know y it happened to me but I feel we are connected in some way and I truly believe your daughter is like a guardian angel to my son. just wanted to let you know. your a strong good willed person and you deserve the best that's y you have your wife and three kids. Happy Father's day bro
Wow man that is an incredible story! I am so happy Madison is changing lives even though she isn't physically here anymore. She is a force for good now and like you said her presence will live on forever. I am glad your son made out strong and healthy and now can make a difference in this world! Thank you for sharing that as I know it is a hard subject to talk about.

Hey mate , cool to know you are doing a Q&A , here are some questions for your Q&A : Q1 : Do you watch any other non movie related youtube channels ? Q2 : What movies that you don't have yet in your collection would you really love to have ? You don't have to put me in the drawing cause i'm not from usa and i have a different region here , but i do wanted to ask some questions just cause i always enjoyed watching your videos !! Greets !!
Thanks for the questions! I will be doing the answer video next weekend! Man you have always been such a great supporter of mine since I can remember and I want to really thank you!
Well if you ever need someone to talk to who understands then let me know. It is such a hard thing to go through and no parent should ever have to loose a child.
Sorry to hear what happened but thank you for sharing her story and keeping her memory alive. Keep up the great content and hope all is well. Question would be, If had to keep only 5 movies in your collection. Which would they be and why? (10 Cloverfield Lane)
What up block! it was so hard to watch this. it took me 3 tries to watch it. u did a great job man! I could never do what u did with this vid. I admire & respect your strength to go thru this tragedy & still have enough to make this vid. I always wondered who Madison was when I first discovered your ch. & always saw that clip of her @ the end of your vids. but I never wanted to ask cause I'm a parent myself & out of respect thought it was too personal ya know. I lost my sister when I was 19 she was only 24. I was in shambles & lost for yrs to come. I relate so much to the hate u felt for the babysitter & wanting to blame someone!? I felt exactly the same way! I wanted to blame the dr.'s & the hospital for my sisters death. U look & sound like u felt better after getting this of your chest & making this vid. that's what's important. happy late father's day block!
Man I am glad you got through the vid man! It took me like 100 cuts to film it. I never edit my videos but I had to with this one. Man I lost sleep over this vid hoping to do it justice! That is exactly why I wanted to do this video because I felt like the supporters of my channel like you that have been there deserved to know her story. You are so right man! I feel so much better knowing I Can go back on this video in years to come and watch this with my kids when they are older and they can see how I was feeling! Your a stand up guy man and thanks for always being there for me!
Thx, Anytime block! Here's my ?'s...1. What blu-tuber would u most like to meet & hang out with for a day? 2. Who's your favorite musician, singer, rapper or band? 3. Who's your favorite major sports teams? 4. What is the car of your dreams u want to own!? Thx!
Congrats on your 100th video. Sorry about Madison, I hope you are doing well. My question for the q and a video is can I have a shout out and what do you think you would be right know if you were not doing youtube
Thanks brother! It was a tough time but now we just look at the positives and try to make the best of the situation. Teaching others to not take time for granted with your loved ones! Glad her story could make a difference!
Wow... didn't know/realize you had another child, sucks what happened to her but good you got over her (probably bad choice of words but really dont know what to say)... Also happy father day dude, hopefully you & you family spent it well and all. Also congrats on having reached your 100th video dude, doesn't seem like it but really amazing come to think of it. As for a question for the Q&A... What movie did you first watch with your wife/kids? (Put my name for either Paddigton or 10 Cloverfield Lane, (all ready have the Batman movies) i'll be good with just being considered for those prizes).
Thanks Daniel! There are no right words to say man...there is no words that can heal something like this you just have to keep moving forward day by day. You are for sure entered into the contest and i look forward to answering your questions!
Hey mate , wow mate didn't know your story , i did see Madison her picture at the end of your videos always so i thought there maybe did happent something . You know english is not my language i only speak english in my videos or in these messages so i can't explain perfectly how i feel hearing your story , i wish you never had to share such a story , but now we all think about her . I don't know you personally but watching your videos and talking in messages with you i know you are a great awesome friendly down to earth guy and i wish you all the best with your wife and kids ! Sorry mate it's hard to say this in the words i want to say but i hope you do understand what i want to say :-) Greets !
Whats up brother! That is the main reason I did this video...I am sure many people saw the pics and had the same questions. Your English is perfectly fine man! One thing about stories like this they trump all language barriers and no one should have to feel this way! Thank you very much for the kind words and I have always enjoyed talking with you in these videos!
hey man happy Father's day, i hope you got my email? the contest looks great too bad i never want to ask good friends anything personal, I.M so very Damn sorry about you loss brother, i Know that couldn't have been easy to say but than't you So much for sharing, life can do so much crazy shit to us but it good to know the pain has lessoned for you, and that story about the bow was heartwarming , congrats on you 100th video bro and hears to hundreds more
I did get your email! Thanks so much man! You have always been a great friend to me and I really appreciate it! Thank you for your kind words and always being there for me! Did you have any questions for the Q and A and want to get in on any of the blu-rays I am giving away?
anytime you need me man, i'm ALWAYS there, i\m liking the 10 cloverflied lane steel book but can't think of any questions that i know no one will think to ask lol
what movie means the most to you? doesnt have to be your favorite movie. I just mean what movie has sentimental value to you? like for me it was the original ninja turtles movie. I remember my aunt taking me to go see it and then later buying it for me on vhs. it meant a lot to me cuz it was a time in my life where everything was ok. I was just an innocent kid. and I played baseball and I remember on the vhs tape they had a commercial about Pizza Hut. and it was about baseball. I still remember the song to this day. so turtles and baseball. well anyways, so yeah what movie has sentimental value to you? put me on dark Knight bid. thanks
I answered it in this Q and A...The way I do it is on Blu-Ray.com. You have to make a profile...then make 30 posts on the forum....then you can start selling.
