[matthewsmomma07]

TheTurnersJourney shared this video and it honestly made me feel better about all the stress in life but it also made me feel better all around.

[BrunNJayJ]

Bro every now and then i come across your videos.. and honestly you are a very Cool Dad , i think thats really cool man !! Keep it up ! Toronto CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ginax12x23]

i watch this every time im in a bad mood :)

[TheTurnersJourney]

I also (like many other) had to come back to this video today. My life has just totally spiraled since last year and it all just fell ontop of me yesterday.. and I was off youtube while my life was in this down spiral so I missed so many of your vlogs.. for the past 4 days I have done nothing but watch ShayTards to catch up, day by day since last July and I finally got to this one. It was the best gift I could recieve today :) Thanks shay family

[gouveialol13]

I had to come back to this video today...I was in a bad mood, and i remembered the end of this video was Shay talking about happiness. Made me smile! I needed that! :)

[CupCakeLand122]

I love your videos if I'm in a bad mood I'm going to say "I refuse to be in this mood so in gonna be happy maybe eat some cheese. Burgers and just smile" love you shay and colette

[troublebee0187]

I've seen this SO many times, but it's still touching... Shay's words, the song, and the images of him swinging on those rings after all his efforts to lose weight, to be happy, to have an awesome family.... it is so motivating, so inspiring!! Thank you Davinlav for this great montage!

[PassionFruit061]

Shay you have the best Radio voice

[xxLizzyDxx]

I -3 this xx I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THIS SONG IS CALLED AT 1:21 I CAN'T STOP SINGING IT I LOVE IT SOOOOO MUCH X

[holyscythe]

@xxLizzyDxx /watch?v=TjdDq_7KXmk

[KillaTequilla83]

I sorta wonder if perhaps these viewer subs are a prelude to them saying goodbye eventually. I mean its the high point of his career so its unlikely, but when he does...I wonder how he'll go out? The internet will seem like a much colder place that day, thats for sure.

[GerrardISLiverpool]

If Jack Black had a family, he would be you. :)

[ccckt09]

Haha "And your wife is hotter than expected... and AWESOME!!!"

[InspectMyGadget69]

Without this family, i don't know how i'd get through my own life. Thank you Shay and family. I love you oh so much and I haven't even met you guys! That's saying a lot...

[shortii12341]

I don't know what I'd do if Shay said " We can't make videos anymore. So this is goodbye." I'd probably act like I lost a very close friend. When I saw the video before this I was like" WHAT!?! NO! Don't stop... Oh your coming back in 7 days! YAY!" I thought he was stopping for good. I know they can't keep making videos forever, but I hope they will keep doing videos at least till Rocktard is at least 5 or 6.:). We have all fallen in love with him.

[011natalie110]

This is my fave of the viewer submissions :)

[1526jhonnyrivera]

what happened

[PinkOcean789]

This is so beautiful!:) love you Shay!:)

[spitencupcakes]

This is fantastic.

[crystalcoy]

whats the second song?

[crystalcoy]

whats the second song?

[TheFunkumentaries]

I love this. Choose to be happy <3 Can't wait to read your book Shay! It's going to be amazing! Great video Davinlav.

[DTJesse]

dt

[TexasToast09]

I made a video too! Please thumbs up so Shay and his family can see it! it's on my channel. I didn't follow Brets rules cause I didn't like them so it can't enter, but I still want everyone and Shay to see it. I mixed it with the song, Jump Around from House of Pain! Thumbs up so Shay can see!!!! and go see it to on my channel.

[Erkerkerk123]

Its crazy to think about how much they actually mean to me. Like, they have actually changed my life. When I was a teenager(emo teens) I was suffering from depression and anxiety and was put on medication for it. Even though its probably the medicine, I feel like the shaytards have actually helped me heal, and have an attitude change. I choose to be happy, even if its hard. I can now see that theres a such thing as a happy family, and the future isn't so scary. Thank you, Shaytards. I'm lame :p

[ccsmakinjeter02]

@Erkerkerk123 I'm glad things changed for you into having a positive life. Just remember there will always be someone to talk to and make you happy. Doesn't matter who or what, you will have the inspirational person to look up to that will make a difference for you. There is more to life than being sad or depressed. continue being happy and maybe you can make a difference for someone else as well.

[996simen]

here is the name of the video of shay`s speech in this video

Building Bridges over Peaks and Valleys! :D

[PurpleWendigo]

I always want to tear up when I listen to that speech. Shay Carl - You are truly an amazing person.

[mallorylp11]

You and your family always make my day better. You remind me off my Husband so much, and when I see you interacting with your kids, I hope he's just as awesome with ours as you are with yours. Thanks Shay family.

[SalthawkMusician]

I love these viewer made videos! Not just because it almost makes me cry because they are so beautiful, full of love, carry a great message, and show just how much all of you have grown (or in Shay's case shrink! Great job man!) but they give me glimpses of things I've missed by joining late. But I feel so included still, because old is mixed with new.

I love you Shay and all the Shaytards (including you Brett)!!! Amazing idea to do these videos. Good job NicePeter.

[juliannadigi]

soo inspirational, i love the shaytards more than anything<333 keep inspirig and just being yourselves, because that will make the viewers (including me(; ) really happy <3 hopefully one day i will gdt to meet this amazong family in person ! :) xoxo .... does anyone know the name and singer of the sog that starts around 1:21 when shay starts his inspirational speech ? :) <3

[Caeloth]

Shay sounds like Jack Black. The Cheeseburgers line is what made it click.

[LuissVlogs]

i like the words in the end

[xxLizzyDxx]

[chaoticgood21]

[dimitris5594]

The moment at 1.00. the best part of the song and the moment when shay lifts his hole family can make you cry

[alexandrual]

This is just.... just... well, i really really liked it a lot ! editing music and meaning of your words made it a really great awesome video ! It made me a little hapier ! :)

so thanks !

[DrRocker67]

can any of you guys give me the link that he talk about being happy as in the picture?

[TheChantalxox]

I watched this twice yesterday and back again today to watch once again. Is this written anywhere i want to post his motivation on my page but i am lazy. lol

[foxzity]

I really hope Shay sees this, even though he probably won't... I just want to say to you and your fantastic family and friends, if you ever stop making videos for some reason (we all know you can't continue forever), at least make a video like 5-6 years later and let us know "what heppened after". Your videos inspires and makes so many people happy, once a day and I know that I and so many others will feel a big empty space whenever you stop. So please, make a "follow-up" some day. Thank you! :)

[drummerkid1993]

@foxzity Why wait 5 years? I'd like to see a video every 1 or 2 months.

[Amycakes1]

@drummerkid1993 whichever means he's more likely to update further in the future so we can see the kids all grown up

[blackjack801]

@foxzity ah, makin my eyes well up a lil. haha.

[WantNeko04]

I watched this video twice, just because I loved thw advice and how it summed up ShayCarl :)

[celal777]

[SickODaniel]

OMGOSH!! the moment in the video where shay was crossing through the hoops things & he was talking of how you can choose to be happy made me cry :( i was picturing how shay once said that he was gonna be able to do & now he can & it made me feel so emotional. I was just thinking of how hard he worked & omgosh i probably make no sense right now but that was just THE BEST THING EVER!

[manda037]

Hey Shay, I love how positive of a person and how you can always find the good in things. My Great Aunt who is 89 is nearing the end of her life and can be taken away from us any day now. Through this hard time my family and I are really struggling with this. My question to you is how do I find the brighter side in all of this and help my family get through it together? You're vlogs have helped me through so much already in my life and your family is great. Keep up the good work & God Bless <3

[MsSeekingPerfection]

Shaytards is amazing this is my dream family

[jshafer23]

Shaytards... you are my bridge.

[Breed94]

Shy are the most awesome person on earth, i mean it
