  • more life lessons please :D

  • Comment removed

  • My friend died on Sunday morning by a drunk driver he was 16 years old and never stopped smiling, he was one of the "cool" kids but always had a moment for ANYONE to brighten they're day with a smile and a joke, my entire town is depressed over this his face was on ever newspaper and news channel bringing back fresh pain over losing someone so full of life it was incomprehensible tell now. It did teach me to value everyone in my life so much more. I understand Goldy, I really do.

  • ALSO ANYONE WHO DISLIKES THIS IS TOTAL FUCKING SCUM GO HANG YOURSELF ASSHOLES.

  • This wouldnt have happened if it was weed instead of alchohol, LEGALIZE WEED!!

  • just a tip from me - put the game music and sounds a bit down so the effect and sersiousness of the life lesson can cut through clearer. Also I understand if you enjoy playing Gears of War 3, but while doing Life Lessons please play a quieter, less casual gory game because its kinda wierd going through something so serious yet watching casual, gory death gameplay. Its nice, but just some small changes would make it perfect.

  • this is why i will never drink alchol

  • its weird how hes playing gears 3 while talkinng about something so serios...

  • Thanks Goldy!!! You just taught me a valuable lesson today. You really opened my eyes to see how my choices impact the rest of my family. So thank you GoldGlove thank you.

  • Gold Glove (AKA Brennon) the world will rotate no matter what goes on in this place. Some is good, some is bad. but sometimes its not the drivers fault if he loses control. but most of that article says according to the sheriff's office. The one part of that article that was not BIAS was you in the comments. We are all with you, your friends, family. we all give condolences to others affected.

    thank you for reading, Those that thought this is a waste of time. i hope you never go through it.

  • Goldy, I know how you feel I lost my best friend to drunk driving ever since I was in 1st grade I had lived with her and her family they raised me every single day until sophmore year I saw them and now I have an empty feeling everyday of not seeing her, its a life changing thing.

  • not lying i got a tear ;-(

  • I know man. Thanks for sharing it takes a lot.

  • I feel for you, Goldy. It hurts a lot, but life goes on. Just feel better soon =(

  • the 14 people who disliked this video are assholes

  • thank you so much for sharing, i never thought i would actually come away thinking it about this so much, but after hearing about Ryan Dunn and THIS it has taught me alot thank you

  • My deepest condolences go out to anyone affected by this tragedy. Stay strong, Goldy, because your friend will need you after he has done his time, to help him piece his life together.

  • I was about to comment on your Gaming Addiction Life Lesson saying something similar to what I am about to; but didn't. After this I have to say: When I was 17 I was hooked on Team Fortress for Quake 1, and my friend used to try and physically drag me to (drinking) parities and I refused every time. 10 years later we are still friends and I am not a gaming addict, but I think games can be a release for kids who live a certain (sometimes hard) life but don't resort to drugs and alcohol.

  • What horrible people can dislike this, that's awefull. But besides that, i have respect for you.

    Also, keep your videos going

  • Goldy, you're awesome for not dropping Tyler when you heard about this. You're a real friend, man.

    I'm so sorry that you, the Peabody's and the Thorpe's have to go through something like this and I wish there was something anyone could do to help.

    It must of been really tough seeing this article and I'm glad you shared it with all of us.

    Thanks, Goldy.

  • Your. Good guy gold glove! You still call that guy your friend after wat he did. If that dude was my friend I would never ever be associated with him again

  • Drugs, alcohol, cars, and teenagers/young adults don't mix well. It's a sad story and it happens all to often. I feel for you man, and I hope your friend is able to pull things together down the road.

  • dont worry goldglove im prayin for your friends family and everyone affected including you

    

  • Goldy,I want to say that I feel you were right when you defended him and what he did was a really bad mistake.. My apologies and condolences to the family, but they have no right to pass judgement on him, anymore than he does on them. The law will see justice, and his conscience will never let him forget it. I would honestly ignore anything the family has to say, because they are not rational because of the grief. I hope everyone learns from this, or his death will have been in vain.

  • why did you stop talking to him for a year?

  • Tylers only human Goldy, just make sure he learns from this mistake....

  • why is it that the drunk driver is the one that always survives and the victim dies

  • heres the thing - Everyone knows these thingd you mention but dont listen and ignore them EX- when all these celebs were on TV talkin bout bullying AFTER like 5 students killed themselves- kids STILL do it, same for saying the GAY word- i say it u probably say it ( dont have a problem w/ gays but im going 2 say the word if something is...gay)

  • i'm sorry that your friend was involved in this as im guessing it's not anyone's idea of fun...

    but at the same time, your friend was drinking and driving(if im correct along with "driving like an idiot") and in many respects, i hope he changes and that this news helps others who are of age to begin drinking decide to call a cab or whatever. get a friend who isn't "buzzed" or under the influence to drive you.

  • I favorited this video because I was impressed by the way you showed that everyone's a person but also, used it to help people to understand not to make mistakes like that. I haven't been watching your videos for awhile but this one really touched me.

  • Poor goldy

  • Its so brave from you that you posted this, i could feel the pain in your voice. I wish you so much love and strength through this difficult time.

  • Omg at the comment below me! How low can people get these says?

  • THIS IS ALL BULLSHET

  • @Carterraria Watch your mouth and have some respect. Most of you kids show no respect when it comes down to serious things.

  • @liaaamcalvert LOL UMAD

  • @Carterraria Excuse me? Get off the internet if you do not have the decency to repect even people you do not know.

  • @liaaamcalvert LOL UMAD?

  • sorry man

  • Okay, the very fact that people are even having an argument in the comments shows that you guys aren't paying attention to the video. Like Goldy said, if you don't have anything positive to say, please, don't bother saying it. Unless, like FireLord is doing, you're trying to silence the trolls.

  • next time, turn the volume of the game just a tad down.

  • im very srry goldy

  • Life changing commentary

  • why whould you celebrate Osama's death in the first place?He had nothing to do with 9\11.9\11 was an inside job.

  • fuck the faggot hitler, he deserves no respect when he died!

  • i wish i had a good friend like u, if i went to jail for a long time my friends would probably laugh their asses off

  • That druggie should be hanged, not given time in a cell. He's getting way way less then he deserves. A life for a life as I beleive. You kill him we kill you, thats more fair then it sounds. They should give the death sentence to all murderers, doesnt matter if it was only 1 or 2 or 3, it shouldnt matter if he was under the influence or he did it on purpose, the point is he took an inicent old mans life, and severely hurt others. He might have been a good kid b4, now hes the scum of the earth

  • @SpamsterChannel I don't understand why you would say that. If we hanged him we would be no better then him and we would be murderers our self. then, would they have to kill the person who hanged him too? They are giving him severe Consequences and have no right to take take his life. if he is in jail how could he effect anybody anyway?

  • I know its hard to experience this, and it will be hard to talk to your friend now since hes done this, but you need to support him in every way...My deepest sorrows for the families affected, and may God bless them as well

  • Alright, I'm just going to say this because it needs to be said. People commenting on this video, this is not the place for political commentary, nor is it a place for flame wars. Just cut the bullshit, and respect the message. My deepest condolences to the families effected by this horrible accident.

  • @DeltaBravo1216 dude if you would calm down and read what was happening you would notice that it's not a flame war and it's not about politics.

  • Stay Strong Goldy..

  • Your friend will waste years of his life for one stupid mistake.Stay strong and help your friend ,this is the moment he needs you the most.

  • drunk driving is bad but u shouldn't even be drinkin in the first place.

  • @acelancer Why not?

  • @DeltaBravo1216 As far as i no, people drink to get into clicks. Most ppl i know don't even drink alone, they have to drink with others. If u were brave enough to say no from the start then u wouldn't have to worry about drunk driving. simple as that. One less thing to worry in life.

  • @acelancer Sorry mate, but I enjoy a bit of scotch every now and then by myself. Maybe a nice pint with my mates on occasion. There's nothing wrong with drinking, just don't do it in excess. If you do, have a designated driver.

  • Stay Strong Goldy. You will feel better, but in time.

    

  • you are very strong for saying this goldy

  • shits crazy bro... i wouldnt know what to think... my regards to anyone that this conflict affects personally.

  • around christmas time, me and my friends were drinking at ones house. My one friend did an entire 5th of tequila himself. We were gunna drive him home since he was super drunk and it was snowing out. We were putting on our shoes when he ran out to his car and drove off. We got in our jeep and tried to catch up with him, going about 60 on surburb streets in the snow for about a mile until we we saw his car go right into a tree at 70. unfortnatly we had2 drive off.. or we wld hve ben chrgd w/ dui2

  • I don't think the death penalty is appropriate for this, I think it is for pre meditated murder, rape, child molestors etc all deserve to die because they had the intention of hurting someone

  • what 3 douchebags put funny in the reactions? assholes

  • sorry goldey :(

  • Federer343 is a giant douche that is all.

  • First, why the fuck is a flame war starting over politics in this type of a video, some people need to get their shit together. On your buddy, I agree that he should serve time for such poor judgement. But people that learn from these mistakes deserve a second chance, be there for him when he starts piecing his life back together. He'll be thankful for your friendship. My condolences man.

  • @DrearierSpider it's not a flame war and it's not about politics. I was just stating that I thought it was sick and wrong when I saw people celebrating the death of someone. everyone just took it the wrong way I'm sorry about that.

  • Guys FireLord is saying he dosent like anyone celebrating a human beings death when osama was killed he was still treated with respect before they threw him off the ship yes he deserved to die but no one should celebrate another human beings death get off FireLords back

  • @gamer953 thank you so much. it really sickens me to see people saying things like "I laughed when he died" or "he was a horrible person I'm glad he's dead" I mean yeah of course it's a good thing he's dead so he can't kill anyone else but that's still no reason to celebrate.

  • @FireLord3001 your welcome I saw all those comments saying your sick and all that crap not understanding what you were telling them so i figured i would try to help you

  • @gamer953 you just made my day about 3 times better.

  • @FireLord3001 your welcome :)

  • @gamer953 oh well a family member of mine died because of him and you do not want me to celebrate?

  • @wbab1234 It's never right to celebrate the death of a human being. By all means be relieved, or feel a sense of vindication, but please don't celebrate or you run the risk of sinking to the level of the people you despise so much.

  • @wbab1234 im sorry for you but I still think its wrong to celebrate any human beings death

  • @gamer953 Thank you, but one death let over 1000 innocent lives RIP

  • There are some things that are best left of YouTube. This is one of them!

  • is this ur friend skylergayhate dude on youtube ???? thumbs up so goldy can see

  • I am glad you are comfortable posting this to us Goldy, you are a strong person and i have alot of respect for you. We love you man, Stay strong.

  • My gf's (of four years) older brother is serving time for killing two policemen. Sad as it is, stuff like this happens everyday. People seem to believe that it'll never happen to them. Then when it happens they act like its something new. Not going to lie. It doesn't get any easier. You just deal with it.

  • Comment removed

  • Here's a quote that I hope helps you.

    "A Mother and a son or someone you know, smile at each other and realize you don't."

    Maybe your friend was always this way, people make stupid choices even I have made them. Times change goldy. But don't let this tear up your life. My life-long best friend died the other week because of the NY mob. This is a lesson some need to know, maybe you never knew him like you think you did, but at least you can say you made the better decision.

  • you shouldn't put gameplay over commentaries THIS serious...

  • I'm sorry for you and your friend, Goldy, as am I sorry for the Thorps as their lives have been fucked just as much as both of yours. I hope that your friend can find peace in his actions and I hope that the Thorps hold no ill will against him or you. I'm not going to say that I know how you feel, because I don't. No one does. I just hope you don't let this bog down your bombastic attitude for too long. Take the time you need to heal, but come back 100%.

  • I feel your pain goldy. My friend was 18 and got into a fight in highschool and hit the guy just right and killed him. He got 85 years- to life

  • What i get from this video? Any thing can happen in life. People are stupid, they make very stupid decisions based on a myriad of factors. I'm sorry you're going through this Goldglove and all the people who are affected by this. He does deserve what he's gonna get, and hopefully it will teach him a very hard lesson. I've personally had so many people in my life nearly killed on the road, some because of their own negligence, and some because of other peoples negligence and it sucks.

  • When I was in 4th grade my teacher died because she got ran over along with 4 other people by a drunk driver.

  • Comment removed

  • The society around which young people have grown up with the past 10 or more years is in part why there is rampant drinking and driving. You think you can do it, and you think that you wont get caught because youre a really good driver. Then BAM it happens. I cannot imagine what he feels, because i had not hurt anyone during my accident, but even knowing that I potentially could have happened, and the situation he's in now, just gives me chills.

  • Goldy,

    I was in virtually the exact same situation a month ago. A friend of mine cutoff a cop, killing the passenger cop. The difference is, my friend wasn't drunk or under the influence of anything, so he isn't doing time. The cop was actually flying 17mph over the speed limit not responding to a call. The circumstances are a bit different, but I understand the intense feeling of a friend of yours being involved in something that killed someone.

  • Dude, i've never lost a friend but some of my friends have and it's fucked up to have someone that young die! stay with it goldy!

  • OMG i just don´t get it that this video have dislikes -.-

  • This was very moving Goldy. I wish you the best.

  • goldy i feel so sorry for you you sounded like you would be tryin to hold back your tears ... hang in there bro and r.i.p for the people he killed ...

  • Stay with it Goldy

  • I'am so sorry about what hapened.And I see your comment and that was very motivating. :)

  • Hang in there Goldy

  • omfg why dislike this video!!.. fuck those who disliked this video

  • Goldy, learn from his mistakes

  • R.I.P.

  • Goldy, So soory i fell bad for you.

  • That deep man. I'm sorry for all that, I don't know how you feel but hopefully you'll be okay from it.

  • het Goldy were for ya man, just stay strong

  • Hang in there goldy

  • I don't know what to say man....Sorry you had to experience this. I know it's extremely hard dude, but try and stay positive. We love you man.

  • Fuck This Made me shed a tear R.I.P Roy

  • @AMagicWizard You do realise that the effects of weed and alcohol are different for everyone, right?

  • Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:  “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

    In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

    No one desrves to die and no one should celebrate the death of someone even if its osama and he caused many other deaths.

  • Very sad situation all around.

  • I know how you feel Goldy. I had this guy I looked up to, like an older brother, when I was younger. I was about 10. Then when I was a teenager, I saw on the news that he was going to jail for committing murder. He was joining a gang and his "initiation" was to kill some guy, execution style. When they found him he admitted it and gave up without resisting. But when I found out, it destroyed my view of this guy. Stay strong Goldy... stay strong man. It gets easier.

  • This sucks.I hope that everything works out alright for your friend,everybodies family.

  • sad to hear brennon :(

  • Way to start my day.

  • Some people deserve to die for what they have done, your friend is not one of those people. Two families have been destroyed by a tragic event, hopefully he feels remorse and people can learn from this. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved.

  • the only thing that is an upside is that he killed some one who was old its sad yea but at least that man lived a lot of his life he didnt take someone that was young or someone that a kid 

  • Heavy :\

  • No one goes out onto the road to kill somebody. It was a mistake, he didn't mean it but the damage is done.

  • This just encourages me to be a better driver by making right decisions

    I'm about to get my license in a few weeks and this really speaks to me. Thank you goldglove and send my regards to the family.

  • drinking and ddeiving is bad enough but drugs too. he does not deserve to die he should live with what he done for the rest of his life, that will be worse than death, death is too easy

  • @Lostplanet1996 wtf is wrong with you?

  • @Lostplanet1996 get the fuck of this page asshole

  • @Lostplanet1996 You stupid asshole fuck you! He is having a hard moment because his friend fuck up his own live! How would you feel if someone so close to you would fuck up his life?

  • @Lostplanet1996 piss off, inconsiderate asshole

  • @Lostplanet1996 GTFO troll

  • @TheWillimusin sorry, i didnt saw the article. I thought that he lies. Cause he do that often (for subscribers).

  • @Lostplanet1996 fucking 14-15 year old squeaker. Gtfo out of here you ignorant cunt.

  • It may just be me but listening to this story seemed wrong while watching this video.

  • goldy i love you

  • what is the normal time for do this ?? in jail i mean

  • I know how the families feel about this right now, my dads best friend was run over and killed 2 days before christmas last year. Its one of THE worst ways to go :/ he had 2 young kids who he was fighting to get custody over and he had found his soulmate during that time. My heart goes out to everyone involved in this.

  • I'm not doing this like most people to get thumbs, but seriously, who could dislike this video? I'm sorry for you GoldGlove, keep up everything you're doing though, you're an inspiration to a lot of people whether you know it or not. Peace.

  • Goldy handles this in such a good way .. My heart goes out to all involved.

  • We all make mistakes, unfortunately some are more costly than others. You're in a tough spot right now, hope you're okay soon bro

  • One of the best commentators out there. Never afraid to let your feelings out.

  • this is why you get to drive at age 18 in sweden :P

  • I feel so bad for you that this happened but my respect for you is huge with the way your viewing it

  • Not to be a dick or anythin but a person dies evrery 12 seconds. Where the fuck are their 10 minute comms?

  • Sorry goldie, hope u feek better soon! Dont be so hard in the guy, im sure he could really use a good friend rite now! "animo" bro

  • Sad panda

  • Osama, hitler and even Bush have killed much much people but they were all thinking that they were doing the RIGHT thing so they think their the good guy

  • :( chin up Brennon :'(

  • Sorry bro i have had this happen time heals all wounds and you should celebrate this life by remembering all the good stuff stay strong goldy:)

  • I'm sorry to everyone involved in this tragic accident...

  • Lower or remove the gameplay audio, it's ruining your story.

  • I love the old fashioned gameplay comms especially about things that affect people like this.

  • Who the fuck would dislike this video?! 6 people have no heart :(

  • RIP Roy E. Thorp.

  • goldy is the greatest

  • YouTube removed the dislike bar?

  • ;(

  • This really touched my heart, this is insane.

  • @skronybonnie He didn't die.. He's going to prison for a really long time.

  • @Yellrak I know that's what I meant lol, I got confused for some reason.

  • A trucker once told me "If you do kill someone out there, you won't be thinking about your punishment, you will never be human again"

  • make a video later about his sentence

  • i hope he gets life in prison

  • I think people 16 and under including me really learn from this. Nice video goldy

  • Goldy, just be strong.

  • This also show's that someone you love or even your won life can end in the blink of an eye! take care of yourself, live everyday like its your last. Enjoy your life! Be careful!

    Dont drink and drive. We are all going to make stupid mistakes, everyone is going to make mistakes thats just life. Be smart and make good decisions. R.I.P (the guy who died) you will hopefully be remembered for mostly good things!

    "Life is a bitch, if its easy for you, you are doing it wrong"

  • We're here for you bro, thanks for having the courage to make this video.

  • I think drunk driving should be far more looked at by police. It will be one year in November that a drunk driver took a life of a 16 year old sophomore. She had her locker directly right next to me and the year before that she sat right in front of me. She was announced dead on impact, the person who hit them fled on foot after crashing into her. The person ran to Mexico to avoid going to jail.

    R.I.P Megan Ratliff

  • Hang in there GoldGolve. I wish I had better advice dude.

  • You are a strong man, Brennon. take care!

  • Another thing is that it's not just alcohol, but drugs as well, and weed is no exception.

  • @ElBarto3131 are you dumb

  • @BrandonImHello

    Okay, go ahead drive while you're high.

  • @ElBarto3131 this comiing from the guy who has hitler all over his channel ... marijuana does not make you in capable of doing tasks such as driving, coherently talking and doing simple tasks. Weed just gets a bad rap becuase the american gov. illegalizes it. More people die due to lung cancer and cigarette related deaths than drunk driving. Dont say something when you never smoked it b4 sir

  • Wow. uhh to the guy who died, I hope that you can be at rest with what happend I hope the same for your family, and Tyler shit happens but that wasnt a good idea at all. You deserve what happens to you. This is not a hate comment! --- Sent From GoldGloveTV's AppRats (Facebook App)!

  • It is not that you should forget the source of the hitch in your step, or hide from presumed entrappings of grief- for the limp is still there even should cause be forgot, and a pain without origin is but a burden weightier still. No, live your next hour with hope, so you may remember joy; your next day with joy so you may find a love for life and it's company- then with a scale now tilted anew, you may find you can walk straight, and upon a road more merry.
