Reacting to "Why Bay Area Buggs And Jeff Favignano Left DOJ" 

Humbled that someone I've watched for a long time reacted to one of my videos. Cheers Jeff

I respect you Jeff for even reacting to this

Jeff is like the father figure of the group . He stays calm and just says what’s really going on . Very consistent over the years .with great content regardless

The way Jeff just skipped the drama bits because he didn’t want drama just shows how awesome he is just approached it in a way to clear some things up and stop these crazy theory’s people have whilst also not throwing shade at people

Jeff I was 12 when I started watching you guys. I’m almost 22 now. You can basically say I grew up watching you all, and been here since the beginning. You guys got me through a lot like the passing of my mom when I was 13. I’m happy you guys grew into the channels I know today. The few times I got to game with you all are memories I will never forget. I remember you Jeff were the reason why I’m into aviation. Learned a lot from you. I will always continue to support you guys, as you all are a big part of my childhood. And I’ve met some great friends who have also been fans as long as I have. Thank you for everything. Continue to do what you do!

Jeff, I never comment and I’m sorry I’m a silent watcher. Been here since original LCPDFR days. I know you read the comments, just wanted to say you owed us nothing in terms of an explanation and I was honestly shocked you made this video. Yet time and time again you take the high road and continue to provide above and beyond expectations. Thank you for your professionalism and entertainment over the years. I hope you well in the future endeavors you choose.

Glad you took time and did this Jeff, I can't thank you enough for all you've done in OCRP have a great one.

Been watching you since you had 175k Subscribers and let me tell you Jeff you personally have changed my life and took me out of bad thoughts. Your a Hero buddy. I know most of us here agree that Jeff is who we go to on bad days. The laughs, the smiles, the joy. Love you Jeff. PS: I LOVE YOUR GUITARS!

So glad you aren’t afraid of reacting and sharing truth from your POV without drama just facts. Mad respect

Time flies so fast... I remember all of this happening like it was yesterday. Thank you, all of you, for creating content and making us laugh through out the years.

Great to see you handle this in a mature and kind manner rather than leaving your fans in the dark. Much love to you and the whole crew

Thanks for breaking it down. Always wondered what happened

Massive respect to you, Jeff. Although it's heartbreaking to see old creators I watched together get split apart, I can't wait to see what you do moving forward. Love your work!

Thanks, Jeff! This has always been a question from your viewers. It’s none of our business but we feel connected to all of you from watching you play together for years and years. I appreciate you making this keep to give us an update of what’s happened. But you’ve moved on and I think it’s time we move on as well.

9:05 Never feel like you're taking the piss out of Dave. That's what best friends do.

Big respect for Jeff for explaining everything and doing his best with the situation to keep his fellow RU-vidrs together and make OCRP with Dave. Also really appreciate him reviewing the video and planning before filming his video, it just shows the type of youtuber he is and how much he cares about his subscribers. Been here since the first 100K and will be staying here forever and continue to support this channel.

I love the fact that you set the record straight, Jeff. You never let anyone talk for you in any way. Respect!

We love you and the wonderful community you’ve created Jeff! Thank you

Major respect to Jeff for not bashing anyone while reacting, that is hella mature and so grateful for Jeff doing this to clear stuff up!

Been watching you since I was a kid Jeff, I’m 19 now and I’m thankful for how much you’ve helped me. I’ve turned to your channel many of times when I was going through some things. You got me into truck sim, flight sim, and you were the reason I got a pc for fivem. Thanks for always staying true to yourself, keep it up. Much love

FivePD and OCRP carried me through some hard times. Can't thank you enough for everything Jeff!

I actually watched this. Made some interesting observations. Thanks for being as transparent as you can without being too uncomfortable. Sorry that people harass you about your personal life and interpersonal relationships. Hope this scratches their itch.

Mad respect for you Jeff, obviously you care so much for the people who watch your videos and have changed your life so much. Such a genuine guy ;)

Thanks Jeff!!!! OCRP is a huge hit and I enjoy watching everyday, even if it’s reruns it’s still such a great experience and I really wanted to thank you for it! 👍

Loved to hear about your experience at PAX and changing your attitude and behavior, not because you were told to but because you wanted to. Shouldn't be surprising after all these years but you do continue to surprise me. I saw it first hand during the early days of OCRP and continue to see you bolster your community and use your influence to support those around you. I say it all the time but you attract good people so it's no surprise to me that you also, either intentionally or not, distance yourself from those who don't mesh well with who you are. Anyway, hope you have a great weekend and looking forward to another follow up video on this situation in 5 more years 🤣

It takes a lot to revisit past situations which you want to leave behind, I really respect you for this video. I wish nothing but the best for you!

Hearing mention FivePD just for that 10 seconds, brought a tear to my eye 😥 RIP FivePD, hope you comeback in one form or another! Thanks Jeff, you're the man!

OMG you’re finally addressing it!! Love you Jeff!!!

Lots of respect Jeff. Drama gets in the way of all of us. You’ve handled everything great and have always been amazing to the fans and community. The channel you have now is great and it always has been.

After 5+ years of watching you guys, things are finally cleared up. Much respect for making this video.

Thanks for doing this, Jeff. The speculation out there was getting ridiculous.

I look back and smile because it happened and we all got to be a part of it. My life was drastically changed for the better simply because of a group of friends playing games. Things change and that's ok. Embrace it, support the new adventure and keep being a part of whatever unfolds. Don't live in the past We're here for a good time not a long time.

Yeah, huge respect to you Jeff for acknowledging this video. I haven’t watched the video yet, but I will (obviously). I was a probationary Civ when you guys left a week prior. It sucked cause I looked for to playing with y’all, but it is what it is. Made it all the way to Civilian staff in training when I left back in… idk.. 2018 or 2019. I always wondered why cause it seemed so sudden (naturally). Buy yeah. Thanks for acknowledging it as mentioned before

one thing i love about jeff is that he has stayed true to his brand and also his style of content whilst this was happening. Jeff is a true inspiration and I have been watching you for over 6 years. i never really have interacted in the comments or social media but i have watched the growing apart unfold. And its normal for people to disagree and to move on. Keep it up Jeff!

Jeff - You have always been a good dude and honest to the core. Always respected you for being you and not letting any of the hype or fame get to you at all. Thanks for being you

Jeff and all of FivePD/OCRP people are some of the most entertaining creators on this platform. I love all of them and big love to you jeff

Jeff you’re a class act! Always doing what’s best for your community and at the same time, staying true to yourself and what you believe in. I will always support great content creators such as yourself 👊🏻

Mad respect to you for doing this.

After watching an old video I was glad to come across this. Gave great insight and answered basically all of my questions. Good stuff Jeff! You're one of my favs.

Been watching this channel for years for all of its fun and quality content and never knew about any of the 'potential drama'. Neither do I care as a viewer, but have to say, respect to you Jeff for this very reasonable, mature and seemingly correct statement. I dare say all of us got enough bullshit going on in our own lives, your videos are a great escape from it all and I'm happy you've kept that up despite of whatever went down in the background.

This was a real mature way to handle all of this. I barley even knew what was going on until this video. It sucks to see that some people from my childhood turn out to not be the greatest people. But life happens and people grow apart.

I don’t care what anybody says I will still watch all three of y’all together or not Until y’all start making videos

Out of everything, communication is always key to pretty much any situation. Some things shouldn't be so public, obviously, but some times you have to come out and explain things otherwise people will speculate the worse. It sucks, but glad you were able to address what happened.

It was really big of you not to drag all the drama into it, but I understand trying straightening it out a little bit because you have so many different websites that latch on to it. Kudos, many days you guys got me through.

I really wasn’t expecting this and I’m so happy this was all cleared up. I hope people can just stop making all their own speculations and stuff now. I can tell you guys try to stay out of drama as much as possible which I admire, I’ve always admired how down to earth you guys are and that’s what makes you guys my favorite group to watch on RU-vid.

14:02 why did jeff skip that part?

Very respectable Jeff. I do miss your tornado chasing vids with Dave hah. When he's available to stream with you again, it's gotta be a big event. Your lifelong friendship with him is clearly evident in your videos, and his. Love all of your content, man: From Flight Sim to iRacing, and everything on down to GTA!

Thankyou for posting and clearing things up for everyone! I think alot of people have been waiting for this video.

Oh my goodness, this is why Jeff Favignano is one of my FAVORITE RU-vidrs of all time! I respect you talk about how things you regret and what happened. Thank you, seriously.

Sir, I may not be the biggest fan but your work with bugs helped me get through some dark times. I found bugs videos four years ago and they helped me escape dark nights. Screw all the who's and whys and blah blah blah I thank you for your hard work. I was a little disappointed when I realized something had happened but honestly I always felt like pc was a prick to those around him. I thought on more than one occasion that I was happy I didn't have to play with him. Take care my dude and thank you for the smiles.

Your playing gta 5 and worried about colorful language.

I've never seen a more respectful and caring game content creator than you Jeff. You and the friends/community rock due to that. You take the time to listen to both sides of the story and anazlize it with no bias nor opinions. You treat people with more respect than most people I know, and that shows, keep it up! Stay kind, and stay safe! - LucasRocks98

Yes, please react to the second one. This is all one big drama mess and seeing your point as someone involved helps to bring closure to some parts of the whole situation. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, feel free to do a second one. I'd watch that through as well.

A ton of respect for clearing the air. Been watching you Jeff for years and years and you’ve always been up front and honest about things which is what I respect about you and your channel.

Jeff is that cool RU-vidr that I would love to meet in person. Have a conversation with and maybe get pointers on channel stuff. Guy seems like a genuine man that loves what he does.

I remember reading those tweets and watching the mudrunner video in school. I was so heartbroken that it happened and I still am no matter what happens with any of them and even though it sucks, just like Jeff said, we all move on in life.

I appreciate the video, glad someone creditable finally is trying to explain some stuff.

First off, Jeff, I want to applaud you for handling this whole situation with such professionalism. Secondly, thank you for providing a lesson about severing ties with a friend/acquaintance that you've grown apart from; we are all free-thinking beings and we need to understand that it's okay to say goodbye to someone or something (for whatever the reason might be). In the end, not only are you one of the most talented and versatile content creators around, but you also serve as an admirable roll model. Thanks for all that you do!

Thanks Jeff, you’re still the man! I do miss Dave and Zach though

Hey Jeff, thanks for clarifying things for us fans. Nothing lasts forever but that doesn't mean things shouldn't be well and good because of it, and I truly hope everything is good.

Man I love Jeff, seems like such a great guy and a respectful person.

Jordan was just so high on power when y'all left, he literally chewed me out over a silly little instagram comment, thats when I knew things were probably gonna get a little rough. The office is looking nice man, will we get a tour when its finished? It is always nice to see you and the boys still pals all these years later, on and offline.

Mad respect for the honesty and sincerity here, it definitely clears the air. Shows that people can take the unknowns and run with them!

Was a mature way to handle this. I think you (and the majority of your followers) are all growing in maturity and we all understand things are not always what they seem. Thanks for the video.

I personally could watch the series playlist every day, i understand the whole colorful language could be much but personally it doesn’t bother me

Thank you for clearin the air Jeff, much love to you man! I honestly did not expect or think youd even react to this an say ur side of what you’ve said

I don’t mind colorful language, censoring yourself shouldn’t be on you, parents shouldn’t be watching your videos with their kids it’s as simple as that. I don’t mind the censoring either but it’s bewildering to me that you apparently are more worried about influencing other people’s children then their parents are.

i want a reaction vid to what happened to the tracksuit?! bring it back, buggs. fr.

Thanks for the transparency in retro-spect to that situation. For some stupid reason as a viewer it left me wondering. well now I can crinkle up my national enquirer and toss to the trash. Great idea for a neighbors ep on spreading rumors on each other. Thank you so much for everything you do.

Jeff you have gave me so many laughs over the years I watched you from middle school up until now I am now 19 you deserve all the success you have gotten❤️

I cannot imagine how annoying it must be to have a bunch of internet people tell you about why you did something Jeff. I appreciate you reacting to this, love OCRP btw.

I'm so glad you went and did this. A lot of questions/allegations just got tied up. People grow apart all the time, that's just life.

Thanks for making this video. You don’t owe us an explanation but it says a lot about your character and your respect for the fans to even make it. Thanks. I love the new content.

Thanks for letting us fans know what the truth is/was to what I found myself to be confused as to what happened to everyone disappearing from some great videos you all were part of. Now I know that it was life. the way one's life goes on thru time and living your life. You just don't stay friends with everyone you meet forever, except for that one best friend from growing up and going to school together.

Thank you for doing this, Jeff! Although, in my opinion, you shouldn't have had to do this in the first place. This is your YOUR channel and YOUR fanbase. Everyone else has their own channels and fanbases that did intersect, but they are still separate. I'm just happy one of my favorite creators that I admire and look up to is still making vids. Still, thank you for clearing the air! You have grown so much as a person and as a channel since then and I'm so happy for you! I've been watching for about 3 years and have watched your earlier stuff and have enjoyed every minute of it! You have a wonderful day and keep on truckin lol!

Thanks for being a really cool realistic dude and providing laughs and smiles for the past so many years

Commenting before watching* I loved those old videos, one of my favourite things to do was open multiple tabs from each of the people recording/uploading and watch them play out in real time from the different perspectives, it was great, like having your own multi-cam setup for a video even if sometimes the editing meant you'd have to resynch them now and again. I have to say though, I always got really bad vibes from a certain person involved in those videos who I won't name as I'm sure Jeff wouldn't want stuff like that in his comment section and felt the person in question was not a good person either in-game or in real-life. It was just a vibe though, another reason it would be unfair to name them as maybe I'm completely wrong.... ***Okay I'm halfway through the video now and I'm now realising it's probably pretty obvious who I was referring to and after some quick googling I've seen some things I was completely unaware of that probably suggest my vibe was spot on if what I've read is anywhere close to true, yikes...

You made some good points Jeff and I understand not everybody's going to like each other and I just want to say thank you for clearing stuff up

I’m glad to hear that you handle this all well, when I first seen I was looking up videos about what happened and every other video was so out of order, but I am so glad you did clear it up! Thank you Jeff, really have been here since then GTA Online videos!! Keep up the great work!

I’ve been watching y’all for about 6 years now. I never expected a video about what really happened and after time I didn’t really need it because I saw how people would act and make up stories like this happened or that happened. You never fail to entertain anyone watching and I’m glad that you’re as supported you are by your fans because you deserve the support. Edit: I honestly didn’t expect you to see this, thanks for the time you took to read it.

Mad respect for doing this dude. Seeing that you did this one I think the 2nd video should be done too.

For starters man, full respect for clearing the air on this for everybody. I feel like one reaction video on this is enough though, you explained everything perfectly fine and clearly. This shit is years in the past at this point though so people just need to learn to let it go and leave it behind finally, I get all the nastalgia see the "old times" again but that hasn't been a reality for a long time. Thank you though Jeff, you are a true professional man! 100%

Thank you for clearing the air.i respect for that.I hope Jeff and bay area bugg make alot of ocrp in the future.

The explanation behind everything the original video creator with out and did research helped put context and detail into everything. Even thought this story is a few years old, respect on reacting to this video. Always supporting!

So much respect for making this Jeff. Theory after theory, it’s so refreshing for you to clear the air and update channel subscribers, or even people who have visited with recent events. Your subscribers appreciate you so much for how you are (upfront and honest). Thank you for your hard work! Have a great day!

i love the fact that you're talking about this issue/drama. Really clear things up for a lot of fans. Just keep on doing what y'all need to be doing

Thanks for the reaction and being mature and calm throughout the video. I can't stop wondering though, why did Firekitten stop recording with you guys. She always came up with interesting RP scenarios and has great sense of humor

As much as I enjoyed seeing you guys in older content, you must do what you feel is best for you. Like you stated Jeff, people grow apart. It's not necessarily a bad thing, and it's most importantly not a part of life you should fret over. Regardless, I discovered you through ATS content, and through that Buggee Boo! (Lol), then Dammit Dave, now Civ Ryan. I have to say like a lot of the fans, after a long day, it's great to see new content. Whether it be OCRP, ATS, etc. Which also gives me the inspiration to keep improving the FiveM server I helped found. Anyways, hope the rest of your weekend goes well Jeff. As always take care man. Much love from Indiana 😁👋

I'm so glad you left that community Jeff. And i'm glad you guys had kept a great relationship with Ryan to the point he has joined you all in the OCRP community

also, v proud of u for going on about your feels like this. you are high class as hell as a man, as a creator, as a human being.

I love your content Jeff! Im a huge flight sim enthusiast myself, and also love every aspect of your GTA Series. Overall you are a content creator that creates exactly my type of content! :D

You know its hard to beleive I have been watching you for about 10 years and that you have gotton me thru so many dark times in my life.. Loss of my wife, loos of my daughter, miy fiancee being killed, me getting cancer and a few other things. You have a way of always making me laugh no matter how dark my life is you always seem to make me laugh. Plus there is a deep respect for you honor no matter what your always just a straight shooter, Id love to get to roleplay with you one day, thatsa kinda my bucket list wish who knows maybe it will come true one day.

Loved the video! Respect for clearing up things with your fans.

You and the FivePD boys made my childhood great those memories and funny moments helped in dark times as cringy as that may sound. This was a great way to explain your side, I have always loved the wag you articulate yourself and the professional. Best of Luck on the channel Jeff keep bringing smiles to everyone.

Are you guys done with fivePD? Is zack going to continue doing content with you and bugs? I am a huge fan of you guys.

I have so much respect for you Jeff, you really are a stand up type of guy. And I gotta admit it’s pretty cool to see you react to this. I’m sure it’s probably pretty weird haha

I’m glad he has put all the rumors and theory’s to rest. Goes to show people make situations bigger then they need to be.

Glad it was finally cleared up, as much as I miss the content with the original trio its definitely time to let it go. Love the new vids just as much 🤙🏼

Jeff, thanks for consistent content that has always been vast and variable. Role play is a small piece of the pie. I was glad you were able to branch out and create your own community. I could tell, professionally, there were issues that led to that, but you have never hid your reasons. It’s a shame people have to create drama where none exists. You guys have kept the fun while being mature. Thanks

What I really like Jeff is your pragmatism to any situation, as well as your perseverence. You knew what you wanted to do with OCRP and your channel, you stuck to your plan and it worked out. 👏🏻 👏🏻
