      The words "I love you man" was said by me 2 times in my life and both times for the same friend and both times he would shut up and stay still for a min and for him it is a miracle then he break the silence with thanks.

    Edit- it’s funny, I’m from Vermont, so I’m not far from you guys. This is actually, probably, my favorite CZcams channel. Definitely my favorite react channel. And I can’t say I have any love whatsoever for Quebecians. Like, AT ALL. If anyone who knows me knew I watched this channel as religiously as I do? They’d be shocked lol. Y’all are cool though.

    Y'all have impeccable timing. My great grandmother's funeral was today. I wasn't particularly close to her like many of my family members, so I wasn't hit as hard as others emotionally by her death. What hit me was seeing the end. I was able to get a glimpse of her body before the casket was closed during the service and for whatever reason, this big knot in my chest started to develop and tears began welling up in my eyes. I'm pretty secure when it comes to death, especially when compared to my peers, but the proximity to the body of someone you were talking to a month prior seemed to have struck a cord with me.
    I say all of this to say, it's such an interesting cross section of events that on a day I am thinking existentially, you guys drop this video talking about aging and your lives. I appreciate y'all. You guys are an inspiration. Happy birthday Preach!

Even on a personal level, it is the most healthy, organic friendship between two guys that could talk about anything and say the realest shit without a care in the world about what other people think about them. They don't try to argue with one another to convince the other that they are right and should agree with them. Y'all are up, so keep rising my brothas.

    Aba n Preach have something more than mere "friendship". They're an iconic duo. The Mythbusters Adam and Jaimie were not friends, annoyed each other, considered each other "associates". Yet they still did some amazing things together and had wonderful on-camera chemistry.

    in 2009, i lost my father who was 40 year old. I for the longest time have missed a father figure from my life. But one of his last wishes was to provide me and my sister top tier education, which my mother made sure we got, even after all the struggle.
    Now more than a decade later, listening to older and wiser men, really helps. So keep it up, this video was really appreciated.

Kinda like seeing a bit more of what their personalities are off screen. It’s hard to explain but I love how real and genuine this was. Just a casual conversation about life and the show of appreciation towards each other and the contributions they’ve made to help shape each other.

    Aba, you gave some class act gifts. It was a joy to watch the two of you smoke some cigars and show appreciation towards one another.
    Thank you for shining light on the challenges of our times. You make me cry with laughter.

I found that the only way to deal with it is to face it head on and try to learn something from it. Appreciating the people in your life is a Great first step, but if you need help please reach out to someone for help. Stress can kill you slowly with a thousand little cuts, and the worst thing you can do is ingore it. When you beat this ( and you will !) you will look back and be empowered by the fight you have won. Stay strong, have patience with yourself and you will get there i promise.

    Random cigar tip that no one asked for: you don’t have to remove the label at the start. It is actually easier to take it off when the cigar has heated it up and loosened the adhesive holding the label together. Let’s you keep a label intact and in better looking condition if you collect them and prevents you from doing any damage to the cigar in case the band may be too tightly attached.

    This is easily one of my favorite videos from you guys. Two “non-friends” just enjoying the cigar, the drink, and the moment. Recalling the past and talking about how to prepare for the future.
    Glad I found this channel years ago (I think I started watching from my other account). Happy birthday Preach and more power to you fellas. 🤙

    Aba's Grandfather being the original blind red pill guru is the most 'fufill the prophecy' shit I've ever heard. Happy Birthday Peach. Preach*

    A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY PREACH! I enjoy seeing you two in this capacity of the "softer" side of Aba N Preach.....it's refreshing. To see men come together FOR each other, unapologetically and allowing themselves to be vulnerable without the fear/concern about what anybody else thinks is SOOOOOO good. Even if you're "not friends"😉. Men, please take note, if you choose to pattern your walk in life to what you think "high valued" men should be, this is it. That notion goes a lot deeper than what you may think it is. May God continue to bless you both in everything you do. 💜🫂💜

    Normalize telling your bois you appreciate them. I'm not as old as Preach but I can sympathize with losing people close to you and not having the chance to ever tell them that you appreciated them. This was great to see guys. Love yall for this.

    Aba said “you a top G now” and when Preach responded genuinely and so quickly and seriously “don’t call me that”.
    That was so hilarious to me. Happy Birthday Preach.
