    I was there. It’s all true. Thank you for the kind words, brother. This podcast made me cry twice.
  • @casey
    dont think we gave enough credit to whoever made the 6 pairs of my glasses.
  • @nicobva
    I love how Casey gives all credit to his brother Van saying he's the genius and Van says exactly the same about Casey when asked, saying he's the real genius, true brotherhood.
  • This might be one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to. Casey's life is incredible and his storytelling ability is unmatched. Such a great listen
  • @bocip3605
    The intro made me think I'm on Casey's channel, brought back such good memories. Killed it once again, Flagrant team!
  • @NoiseJester_
    Man, as someone who watched almost every single vlog back then, this is without a doubt the best Casey Neistat interview out there rn.
  • @YTartschool
    This was awesome to watch, Casey's been a huge inspiration and probably the main reason I have a successful YouTube channel and business. I watched him do it first and it gave me the confidence. Top guy, great hosting.
  • 🙏 "Who the f*uck says you should hire an editor" - this is the guy that got me into CREATING content. Editing is 100% where the story is made, why would I ever give that up?
  • My dog passed last night , this got me through one of the worst nights I’ve had in some time. Just wanted to say thank you guys, and this was a great episode.
  • @amishda1
    I felt like I’ve been living under a rock my whole life coz I didn’t know anything about Casey but this video has been hella inspirational. Thank you team flagrant 😊
  • @anishrao2610
    This guys shaped my teenage years and I genuinely see his influence in my early 20’s. Grateful to know this guys story.
  • @carpediem9015
    This is my first intro to this guy and I was absolutely captivated by him, his story, his hustle/grind, sincerity, passion and genuine likability. I Was listening while driving to the cancer center to sit w/my mom during chemo and he made me “feel” ready to deal with the day. This is by far one of my favorite episodes. Much love to the Flagrant crew for bringing him on and allowing the story to be told w/out the antics. ❤❤❤
  • @KingLennyVA
    The beginning music just unlocked so many memories of Vloggers in the 2014-2016 era
  • This is such a good episode. Casey’s ability as a storyteller is amazing.
  • @harmanyc
    Andrew and his hard cut fades 😂 blend that in
  • @raw_mittt
    I gained a whole new level of respect for Casey, super inspiring!
  • @FRIDO512
    One of the most inspiring stories I've ever heard. This story is an eye-opener especially for those who are struggling. No success didn't come from a huge struggle. And especially this struggle is what's worth telling about. Now I can't wait to tell my own story in 20 years after I struggled.
