Last week, Elyse and I had to say goodbye to Benson. We're heart broken. He was our good boy and the light of our life. We're eternally grateful for the happiness he brought us and the countless adventures we shared.
Pain, betrayal, and anger are the first words that come to mind. None of it is misplaced. But I'll continue working to turn those feelings into a greater appreciation for those I get to work with today. Whatever happens next, we are a better, stronger team than we were last week.
I truly don't have words to convey how I feel about this incredible woman. But I know that I'm grateful for every day, every moment, and how much she cares about making this world better for so many of us in it. Happy Birthday my Burger Queen!
Saw a shirt today that said, "STRONG is the new SKINNY" and I want to ask a favor...
Please don't buy in to fitness marketing's Battle of the Body-Types. It isn't always one versus the other. We come in all shapes and sizes.
Focus on being HEALTHY and HAPPY.
If you can do anything to remember Benson, when looking for a pet, please consider all the beautiful and kind animals in shelters & fosters waiting to make your life infinitely better.
We love you, Benny.
Life is about sharing incredible moments with those you care about. I'll always be grateful for

and our time as one of the most dangerous tag teams on the planet. I have no doubts about the success you have and will continue to earn. See you, Quintessential Gamer...
Benson came to us when he was already four years old. He had been surrendered. And the idea that someone might not want him has never made sense. Especially thinking about what we would've given for more time with him.
Ugh! I hate that people feel like they have to beg for social media relevance...
Let's get this to 50k likes to show EVERYONE that there's more to life than your online "value"!

throwing a bag of chips at me because she's upset I won't let her open her Christmas present early.
When I first moved to LA, I slept on an air mattress. I went through 9 or 10 of'm, because eventually, without fail, they'd pop small holes and I'd wake up in the middle of the night sunken into the floor.
Long story short, I can't conceive of any way for this to go wrong.
It's been a long time since I've felt this pride. Thank you to everyone who moved us a step in the right direction. But the fight must continue to ensure an American dream for everyone. ESPECIALLY those who have been denied it for so long.
Benson's greatest joy was being loved. Not treats or toys. And I consider us very lucky that we were able to share him with all of you, so he could mean something to many who never even met him.

Some day I'm sure, "I used to watch you on YouTube," will be a compliment from a stranger that I can really appreciate. But today, when it's what I kill myself doing, it kinda stings.
Well, that was incredible...

in two hours during our stream tonight. I don't really know what to say other than THANK YOU. From the bottom of my cynical, cold heart, thank you.
This is the first Thanksgiving in several years that I won't get to see the Universal Studios Waterworld Stunt Show.
Be thankful for what you have when you have it, everyone....
Happy Birthday to the kind and brilliant, comedic genius,
@ElyseWillems
! Your empathy and diligence is a constant inspiration and every day is a new chance to see what you will achieve next. I love you ❤️
A new year means a new lease on life. Use this opportunity to be the smartest, kindest, happiest version of you that you can be.
But whatever you do, DO NOT look in the basement. It is off limits... for your own protection.
Why do I hear soft whimpers of heartache coming from the couch??
Could it be that my wife is as exhausted from going through our taxes as I am?
Nope. She's just watching dog rescue videos...
I'll tell you this much; come March 20, when Tom Nook comes knocking to ask if I want to keep my island's pandemic response team active, you better believe I'm giving his ass all the bells he wants.
Masked, walking my dog. Old man, no mask, walking his toward me. I move into the street to allow him to pass. He stops to tell me it was unnecessary; his dog is friendly.
I'M NOT AVOIDING YOUR DOG.
If only all of you knew how much f*cking work

MAJOR LIFE UPDATE!
@ElyseWillems
and I are moving out of LA. We've made countless friends and memories in this city, but are excited to start our new life together in Popcornopolis.
Today we shot two pretty incredible new videos. One of which brought me to uncontrollable tears of laughter. Just letting you know, because I feel like we never talk anymore. How was your day?
Hearing someone say, "Are you James Willems?" seconds after the cashier refuses to accept your $1 Off Coupon for a footlong turkey at Subway is my ideal fan interaction.
My dog has officially decided that his preferred method of eating is for me to feed him chunks of dog food by hand. He's become an adorable, furry Caligula.
If I'm feeling exhausted or stressed, I can always count on this guy to show up and provide some much needed emotional rejuvenation.
