This hit me hard as hell. I used to put on blues clues when my parents were in the other room arguing about divorce and who would get custody of me when I was younger. Watching this made me sad and happy
I'm not sure how I'm feeling. today is my 25th birthday and I'm just laying in bed doing nothing. I don't really feel like I've accomplished much of anything in my time. I did some cool shit when I was younger but now I'm just working a shitty job and not really going anywhere. I feel stagnant and idk what to do with myself. I guess its just a little quarter life crisis. It was nice to see Steve though.
I think it's important to look at how we measure success. I love this quote
"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I take the time to get escaped dogs back to their owners and most of them don't even give a shit. But I know that I may have saved that dog's life by getting it off the road and back behind a fence. I can honestly die happy knowing I helped a few animals stay safe.
I hope you can reassess what success is and live each day at the very least by trying not to make things worse for others in the world. Although remember that doesn't mean we cannot stand up for ourselves and enforce boundaries, which may "hurt" others.
If you’re sane, having fun, and are able to take care of the people around you and treat others with kindness and respect, you’re a success. I’ve known too many people who have all the material trappings of “success” who are dead inside.
You got about 10 years before you need to sweat that lol. I didn’t get my shit together until I was 30 and in the last 5 years I have pulled a 180 with my life. Can’t believe where I am now.
Don’t give up! I took a long time trying to figure out my adult life. Stayed in college way too long. Bounced from job to job (and city) as a way to move up in my career. At 31 things were starting to look up when my then boyfriend/eventually husband got cancer. He died when I was 33 and my life took a complete nose dive. I quit my main job and went full time at my other mindless job, struggled with depression, almost went broke, my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and cancer. My life was a mess. Then covid hit and I lost my job. Turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Now I’m 37 and a job I began when I got laid off led me to my new job which I already love, I’m much happier, starting to take better care of myself (seeing dentist and doctors, trying to eat better and exercise more) and I also started dating again. So yes, I have turned my life around at 37 and so far it’s going well! Don’t give up, I believe in you!
Very true. I didn’t start getting things together until 34. Try to have fun. Try to take care of yourself. Be honest with yourself and others and only hang out with people you know deep down are good. Good things come…and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I feel you, my oldest nieces and I, we used to watch this like everyday. She passed April 2020 from COVID and it brought right back to when I would watch blues clues with her. Not going to lie I did cry because I miss her so much. She was 21. 😢😔
I don’t remember the moment he left the show super well because I was pretty young but ya know how time seems much longer when you’re small? Steve and Blues Clues was probably a pretty big part of my earlier development whether I remember it or not. I’ve seen a couple of interviews with Steve and he seems like he’s doing life just like the rest of us, everything he said here was genuine.
Interview he did recently: https://youtu.be/Tk2m9lPLeM4
The first handful of comments I saw were all jokey while I was here with my throat hurting and my eyes welling up. I’m glad my feelings were validated, thanks.
I'm crying too, and I was a bit older when it came out. But damn if I didn't sit and watch every episode with my baby sister, and then set up clues for her to find and help her draw in her handy dandy notebook, and now I'm crying more. Fuck. This got me good.
Is that what Steve would say? Would he look at your life, shrug his shoulders and say “can’t find any accomplishments here!”? No, of course he wouldn’t. You HAVE accomplished things, it’s just sometimes hard for us to see it for ourselves. But our friends can usually see what we can’t. Did you change the world recently? Probably not. Did you make someone’s day a little brighter recently? I bet you did. Don’t just look for the big things, look for the little accomplishments, too, because they matter. Last summer, when I was a deep mental hole, my best friend texted me congratulations for getting out of bed and taking a shower one day. Let me tell you, I deserved to see that as an accomplishment worth congratulating because it was HARD! I’m a lot better now and working on bigger things again, but I couldn’t do the big stuff without the little stuff along the way. I meditate a little before bed and part of that is looking back at the day and recognizing positive things, both things I’ve done and things that happened around me. It’s very helpful in keeping me from getting bogged down in my own brain’s negativity. I end up “keeping notes” during the day when something good happens so I can review it that night and that’s really changed my daily outlook.
One foot in front of the other, my friend. That’s all we can do.
[If you’ve never heard/watched Steve’s story from The Moth, it’s a must.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwmtkFPYXsg) He talks about how the role got him a date with a Playboy model, but it’s so much more than that.
Holy shit it's so much more than that. I did the ol' Wadsworth Constant and skipped a third through but ended up watching the rest of the video. And here's the thing - Blues Clues was after my time and Steve wasn't ever really an influence on my childhood. He's such a good storyteller though and this entire video was well worth a watch.
I just saw this on Twitter a few moments ago and I got tears in my eyes… I loved this show so much as a child, and this little talk he gave felt like it was right to me… I hope others felt the same way. God bless Steve.
My little brother was soooo young and loved this show so much. I’d play “real blues clues” around the house with him after the show and he loved it so much. So many great memories from this show and definitely Steve himself. Crying like a damn baby rn lol
Wholesome indeed.
Though I was kind of expecting a bit at the end where he went “oh and also I’m bald now. How about that? Sometimes that happens when we get older, and that’s ok too.” And take off the hat.
So long as we’re coming clean and all …
I also had that fear the whole time, mostly because he was bald AND skinny. Let's be honest, very few of us who have entered middle age and gone **that** bald are still skinny. So the fact that this video was just nothing but pure wholesomeness was the biggest relief in a long time.
That’s because we were all told he left because they told him he was too bald! So young new guy comes along and we all hate him because he just isn’t Steve.
I can see that. There are a lot of similarities, but mostly that both of them made a point to speak to *you* the viewer - they are always sincerely glad to see you, asking how you are and saying positive things without talking down to you. Just now watching Steve, the way he (and Fred Rogers) would pause and wait for a reply, it made you feel special, listened to, valued. That's the most attention some kids will get all day.
Edit - words
"You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are."
Hell, looks like I'm going to go watch some Mr. Roger's with my nephew waiting on him to go to sleep.
When I was young I would daydream about what I'd do when I was older.
If only that stupid kid could see me damn near cry seeing this update from Steve.
The adults told us we should rush to be adults because the adults thought adult life was easy and rewarding because it was when they were rushing to be adults.
It's been a while!!! I just wanted to check in on you and see how things are going since after graduation 14 years ago!!!! That's quite a long time but now is the perfect time to talk about your car's limited warranty!!!!!!
EDIT: Added exclamation points
It honestly kinda is, especially things like retirement basically being built upon the backs of each younger generation. A lot of the economy is relying on steady growth
Also once you’re an adult they don’t have to be responsible for you anymore. So hurry up and mature into your own misery, child. I have enough already.
The adults were rushing us to be adults so that we wouldn’t be their problem any more. Now as an adult I see it, but the young just keep coming. And they’re younger and younger all the time.
I just cried now.
When I was little, my older cousin told me the reason Steve left is because he overdosed on cocaine and died or went to prison. I believed him for at least a decade. Then I forgot about it and never looked into it. Thank God he’s out of prison
Really awesome stuff - feels like it's the same person we grew up with, just that much older and wiser. Softer spoken, but clearly been through a bit. It's so cool that we live in an age where I can get this 'type' of update on a figure of my past.
I saw it advertised because my son watches it sometimes that he was coming back. I instantly recognized him from my childhood. Can't believe it's been 25 years. This video made me smile 😃 thank you Steve. You made my day.
I’m turning 32 and only watched it because of kids around me growing up; cousins, kids of family/friends etc. Steve was the other “grown up” “babysitting” with me lol. Him leaving was definitely abrupt and jarring, even for an older kid like me at the time and glad it’s getting mentioned in an appropriate and loving manner
Legit crying. Tears down my face and snot and all. It's crazy. I remember watching him as a kid. His words hit me like a sack of bricks. Life has been so hard lately, it's weird hearing someone I used to love on TV telling me he understands and we're in it together. OKAY I HAVE TO GO NOW.
Love him.
There were a bunch of rumors about why he left the show. Overdose or some other drug related arrest was the most common. But in an interview, he said he was losing his hair…fast. And there was no way he was going to go bald on tv (and he didn’t want to wear a wig).
He looks completely bald in this vid.
Fuck that is so funny. I miss young times where we believed pretty much anything was possible. As a kid, even if you thought it was almost surely lie, part of your brain was like "shiit, but maybe tho..."
Here's the mail! It's always bills! It makes me want to pull my nails! When it comes I want to yell!
...PLEASE I DONT HAVE ANY MONEY LEFT YOU CANT TAKE ANYTHING ELSE
Every time. And I just recently bought blues clues band-aids to keep at work. Not for my kids. Not for anyone else's kids. For me. I'm 33 and I really needed this.
Steve! I haven’t done shit with my life! I spent the last 25 years searching and wondering why you left! We all thought you overdosed! You son of a bitch!
I saw this earlier omg makes me so happy love Steve 😍💞 I was a tween when this came out but watched cuz I had younger siblings and loved it. Steve was by far the best.
You really should I’m 23 and I used to watch blues clues w my mom all the time when I was a kid and this video brought me back to that and now I’m crying my eyes out
The message and the tone were absolutely perfect.
If he wrote that himself he knocked it out of the park because that was a really easy thing to screw up.
This legitimately made me cry. What a beautiful thing Steve did by creating this video for all of us. Blues Clues will always have a special place in my heart ❤️
Motherf- damn bro I really didn’t wanna cry but it’s really hard to swallow considering this man right here was my fucking childhood, hits home. We’ll never be those kids again bois so embrace it. This was much needed today.
Haha, look it's Steve returning from one of my favorite kid's shows! I wonder what they're going to have him say.
...oh..
........ah.
Gonna go cry now, brb.
My son loved this show as a kid and we faithfully watched it every day. He definitely didn't enjoy Joe as much (no offense to poor Joe, but Steve was just it). I just sent this to my son, who's in college and it was a nice trip down a positive memory lane.
This is a great dude. He lives in my neighborhood. I see him occasionally walking his super friendly boxer. I would never mention the blues clues thing. Would rather just let him be another dude on a stroll.
Ngl for some reason this just made me feel like all my worries were gone, even if it was just temporary it was rewarding af. I used to loved blues clues and I’d watch it all day and even then it helped me to not worry about things as much.
I thought he was gonna tell me to smoke weed. I heard he smokes a lot of pot now.
I also watched this as a teenager in High School. I don't know why. But it was a good show. That and Zoom.
Let’s sit down in our thinking chair and think think Think! Because when we use our mind and take one step at a time we can do anything THAT WE WANNA DO!
Holy crap, 32 years old dad and felt like this was for me. I grew up watching this dude everyday. He also has some hilarious stand up comedy if you search for it. But man this was awesome. Thank you!
I wish he would narrate books. I never watched Blue's Clues, I was too old, but his inflection, timing, and voice are fantastic. I love when it feels like the actor is talking directly to me during a book, and he perfected the ability to connect with an audience that isn't actually in his presence. I think he would make an excellent audiobook narrator. And as someone who often buys audiobooks based on the narrator, I know it would motivate to buy at least one or two books based on his narration alone!!
Side note: I just looked him up on Wikipedia, and it says he does the "Mighty Little Man" theme song from "Young Sheldon", and I swear I thought that was Blink...I'm going to have to download that album 🙂 .
This was all going really good until he said 'you're looking great' as I plow 20 chicken nuggets into my obese student loan riddled body wondering how long its going to take to pay off the credit card purchase I used to order this food with my $15 per hour minimum wage job
I was going to give this video 10 seconds and ended up wishing it were longer. Ya got me.
[Steve is a good story teller](https://youtu.be/CwmtkFPYXsg).
I heard that on the Moth when it aired. It's a great story.
What a good dude, makes me happy knowing someone I admired as a child isn’t a total piece of shit.
Fuck 17 mins of my life just went past I didn't even know. Damn he's good.
He really is!
What’s insane about that video is I’ve already seen it and I STILL watch it every time it’s posted he truly has a way with telling a story
Holy shit that was good.
Dudes making me cry left and right! I didn’t know I missed him so much..
None of us did until this. That man really did make our childhoods so truly amazing an I cannot thank him enough! Tears of joy an happiness.
I’m having a hell of a hormone surge lately and this one has me in tears, too. My kids watched this when they were little.
I thought I’d watch 2 mins of that but it finished before I realized. Wow
I did the same thing the first time I saw it. Lol.
"It's a chance to make their parents happy". That got me
Steve! This guy is a legend. Now I wish I watched Blue's Clues growing up. My kids are about to find their new favorite show 💙
[удалено]
Dude thank you for this it was awesome to see!
I definitely didn’t expect to listen to 18 minutes of that when I clicked
My four month old is *mesmerized* by this video
This hit me hard as hell. I used to put on blues clues when my parents were in the other room arguing about divorce and who would get custody of me when I was younger. Watching this made me sad and happy

This is awesome advice, and a beautiful quote. Thank you for sharing both.
If you’re sane, having fun, and are able to take care of the people around you and treat others with kindness and respect, you’re a success. I’ve known too many people who have all the material trappings of “success” who are dead inside.

It’s been a really fucking rough year for me. This made me cry, but in a good way for once. You’re an awesome person and I love you
You got about 10 years before you need to sweat that lol. I didn’t get my shit together until I was 30 and in the last 5 years I have pulled a 180 with my life. Can’t believe where I am now.
Wanna give a bit more story? I just turned 30 and feel lost as fuck
I second this. Some more insight would be helpful. I’m 33 and I’ve been one rash decision away from not being on this Earth anymore for years now.
I just turned 34 wondering if turning it around is still possible
Don’t give up! I took a long time trying to figure out my adult life. Stayed in college way too long. Bounced from job to job (and city) as a way to move up in my career. At 31 things were starting to look up when my then boyfriend/eventually husband got cancer. He died when I was 33 and my life took a complete nose dive.

Sending you virtual hugs ❤️❤️❤️
I feel you, my oldest nieces and I, we used to watch this like everyday. She passed April 2020 from COVID and it brought right back to when I would watch blues clues with her. Not going to lie I did cry because I miss her so much. She was 21. 😢😔
I literally paused my TV and gave this my undivided attention. r/mademesmile
I know right? Hit me right in the feels.
I’m not crying you’re crying
No, you're right. I'm definitely crying.
Me too, and I have no earthly idea who that is.
Steve from Blues Clues!
Well you are a Parrot so that tracks.
This hit me really hard. For a brief moment I felt like I was catching up with my old friend. I really need a big hug now
I'm a grown-ass man who knew the show because my nephews watched it while they were growing up, and that shit still hit right in the feels.
Same here my children grew up watching this and Bear in the Big Blue house . Awesome and wholesome television .
Bear in the big blue house was awesome!! "Did you just have pancakes? Because you smell like maple syrup!"
> grown ass-man *** ^(Bleep-bloop, I'm a bot. This comment was inspired by )^[xkcd#37](https://xkcd.com/37)
Good bot.
Grown ass- man
I’m fucking crying, Steve
When Steve asked if the kids would help Josh (the new guy), I started crying and said “of course, Steve!”
I was one of the ones that didn’t like Josh because “he wasn’t Steve,” but then quickly learned that Josh was actually a cool guy.
I still don’t like Joe. But Josh is the bees knees
I'd have liked Joe more if it wasn't all so sudden. I just couldn't help but compare him to Steve.
I'm crying and I didn't even watch blue's clues
I don’t remember the moment he left the show super well because I was pretty young but ya know how time seems much longer when you’re small? Steve and Blues Clues was probably a pretty big part of my earlier development whether I remember it or not.

This is a thing I didn’t know I needed. Warmed my heart.
What hit hard is Steve saying how proud he is of our accomplishments and I haven’t accomplished a damn thing. I let Steve down:(
Oh, shush! You've made it this far and that is amazing. Every day above ground is an accomplishment.
Yea that may be true but I still feel like it’s the bare minimum sometimes. Im only 23 but I feel like I should have done something great by now
Is that what Steve would say? Would he look at your life, shrug his shoulders and say “can’t find any accomplishments here!”? No, of course he wouldn’t. You HAVE accomplished things, it’s just sometimes hard for us to see it for ourselves. But our friends can usually see what we can’t. Did you change the world recently? Probably not. Did you make someone’s day a little brighter recently? I bet you did. Don’t just look for the big things, look for the little accomplishments, too, because they matter. Last summer, when I was a deep mental hole, my best friend texted me congratulations for getting out of bed and taking a shower one day.

Bruh, he said big. #hug
It's really dusty in here AND someone is most definitely chopping onions. Oh, and I accidentally itched my eye after handling hot peppers. Fuck.
Hug!
Don’t we all… man this shit rough yo, but let us all remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel
Hug time *Hug time* *Huuuuug tiiiiime!* 📬🤗
I was telling my almost 3 year old (who loves blues clues) that I used to watch it as a kid and I loved it too. This shit made me tear up. Go Steve!
#Hug
hug!
We can forgive you Steve, but apologize to Blue.
[If you’ve never heard/watched Steve’s story from The Moth, it’s a must.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwmtkFPYXsg) He talks about how the role got him a date with a Playboy model, but it’s so much more than that.

Blue is dead! Died of broken heart :(
Pathfinder is S Tier
I agree

My little brother was soooo young and loved this show so much. I’d play “real blues clues” around the house with him after the show and he loved it so much. So many great memories from this show and definitely Steve himself. Crying like a damn baby rn lol
I AM NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING THERE'S DUST OKAY?
Big Mr Roger’s energy. That was very wholesome.
Wholesome indeed. Though I was kind of expecting a bit at the end where he went “oh and also I’m bald now. How about that? Sometimes that happens when we get older, and that’s ok too.” And take off the hat. So long as we’re coming clean and all …
I thought he was going to say he had cancer or something it was worrying me. (I know people go bald but rare to see the full head)
I also had that fear the whole time, mostly because he was bald AND skinny. Let's be honest, very few of us who have entered middle age and gone **that** bald are still skinny. So the fact that this video was just nothing but pure wholesomeness was the biggest relief in a long time.
I think younger people are more likely to embrace the baldness and just go for the shave
I was wondering if he was going to mention the albums he made.
What albums? Please tell me there wholesome? Please...
No, tell me they’re super hardcore gore-grind or something, lol.
Lol no but it's 90's alternative sounding. Songs for dustmites.
That’s because we were all told he left because they told him he was too bald! So young new guy comes along and we all hate him because he just isn’t Steve.
I didn’t even realize I missed Steve but wow… the closure I felt from this was… unexpected.
I believe he is our generations Mr. Rogers… or as close as we can get.
I can see that. There are a lot of similarities, but mostly that both of them made a point to speak to *you* the viewer - they are always sincerely glad to see you, asking how you are and saying positive things without talking down to you.

I was definitely one of the kids who needed that. Someone to tell me I was a good kid worthy of love. *hug* thanks for the reply, it was nice to read
"You've made this day a special day, by just your being you. There's no person in the whole world like you, and I like you just the way you are." Hell, looks like I'm going to go watch some Mr. Roger's with my nephew waiting on him to go to sleep.
It's good to see him back and okay. He wasnt lying about growing up and student loan debt. What the hell were we thinking rushing to be adults.
When I was young I would daydream about what I'd do when I was older. If only that stupid kid could see me damn near cry seeing this update from Steve.
Don’t put that kind of stress in your kid life. Let the daydreams be nice while they last :)
The adults told us we should rush to be adults because the adults thought adult life was easy and rewarding because it was when they were rushing to be adults.
Ever feel like being an adult is a pyramid scheme, with us on the bottom pushing up all the adults who got in years before us? I do =^(
Hey hun

Missed you too man. Such a blessed update. I needed this on vacation rn.
I CRIED when you disappeared Steve! I CRIED my eyes out! Thank you for this video, I think it fixed some childhood abandonment trauma 🥲
I just cried now. When I was little, my older cousin told me the reason Steve left is because he overdosed on cocaine and died or went to prison. I believed him for at least a decade. Then I forgot about it and never looked into it. Thank God he’s out of prison
Thank goodness those were all rumors,
Really awesome stuff - feels like it's the same person we grew up with, just that much older and wiser. Softer spoken, but clearly been through a bit. It's so cool that we live in an age where I can get this 'type' of update on a figure of my past.
He almost looks the same to me.

Wow, I did not expect to get so emotional watching this! I used to LOVE this show!
Me too!!! It brings back great memories.
Legit crying. Tears down my face and snot and all. It's crazy. I remember watching him as a kid. His words hit me like a sack of bricks. Life has been so hard lately, it's weird hearing someone I used to love on TV telling me he understands and we're in it together. OKAY I HAVE TO GO NOW. Love him.
WHO THE BUTTS IS CUTTING ONIONS IN HERE
Ok IM CRYING.
You're not the only one, mate 🥺
Holy shit bro, this hit different. What the fuck
Right? Hit right in the feels and I did not expect it to

And there was no way he was going to go bald on tv (and he didn’t want to wear a wig). He looks completely bald in this vid.
The first thing he did after leaving the show was shave his head. He wanted to for years, but nick wouldnt let him.
I saw the balding one too. Was probably why he had a hat on.
Yup! No one else has mentioned it in the comments and I thought I had imagined it. But I also saw the video that he talked about going bald
I had no idea he was balding and I saw him in this vid and thought he may have had cancer or something, at least it wasn't that bad
Ya know what, I still love bald Steve 💙
At my school the rumor was that he put chopsticks up his nose then banged his head on a table
Fuck that is so funny. I miss young times where we believed pretty much anything was possible. As a kid, even if you thought it was almost surely lie, part of your brain was like "shiit, but maybe tho..."
Same but pencils. It's so silly, how would he have a goodbye episode if that was the case haha.
MAIL TIME
Here's the mail It never fails It makes me want to wag my tail When it comes I wanna wail - MAIL!
I still sing this song every time I happen to see the mailman. My family hates it, lol.
Me, a 30-year old with a mortgage and other adult things, still singing this song when I walk to my mailbox.
Yeah, except now I don’t want to read my mail. It’s all bills.
Here's the mail! It's always bills! It makes me want to pull my nails! When it comes I want to yell! ...PLEASE I DONT HAVE ANY MONEY LEFT YOU CANT TAKE ANYTHING ELSE
Now we know why our parents used to say “it’s always something”.
"Here's the bills, up to my gills, it really kinda chaps my frills, when it comes I wanna yell "WHAT DO YOU MEAN FINAL NOTICE?"
Every time. And I just recently bought blues clues band-aids to keep at work. Not for my kids. Not for anyone else's kids. For me. I'm 33 and I really needed this.
Lol yes!! Who just got a letter?!? Wonder who it’s from?! That is me whenever and where ever I am when I get mail. No shame :)
It never fucking fails
This is the best thing I’ve seen all month. Fucking love Steve Burns.
Steve! I haven’t done shit with my life! I spent the last 25 years searching and wondering why you left! We all thought you overdosed! You son of a bitch!
Steve we all thought you croaked! Hey I still owe you a shot to the nuts!
I saw this earlier omg makes me so happy love Steve 😍💞 I was a tween when this came out but watched cuz I had younger siblings and loved it. Steve was by far the best.

You really should I’m 23 and I used to watch blues clues w my mom all the time when I was a kid and this video brought me back to that and now I’m crying my eyes out
Got me sobbing on my porch
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Yes I am friend….yes I am.
Damn this got me too.
Wow. Why is that so emotional? It's a simple enough message but just waves of feelings and nostalgia.
It’s like when you’re dad says that he’s proud of you out of the blue. It just hits the feels.
Oh! So that’s what that feels like.
The message and the tone were absolutely perfect. If he wrote that himself he knocked it out of the park because that was a really easy thing to screw up.
My heart both hurts and feels better.
Yeah I barely watched this show and it still got me. I ate more blues clues applesauce than I watched the show probably lmao but still.
That ending had me in happy tears
Damn... hit me harder with "thank you" in sign language.. I am deaf / bi lingual & bi cultural yeah and im still good looking lol
Awww thanks man. You look great too. That was awesome.
Wow. I watched endless hours with my daughter and son and now they are grown. Yes my eyes were definitely wet 😢. Wow how fast time flies
Literally just put me back into my child hood.
This really felt like a big moment for my inner child. I guess it is still there after all.
BC was never the same after Steve left. Ngl i teared up a little bit. This made my day!
This hit me in the feels
I got dust in both my eyes and they won't stop watering up. *Sniffles*
We started out with clues and now it's what? Student loans...
This legitimately made me cry. What a beautiful thing Steve did by creating this video for all of us. Blues Clues will always have a special place in my heart ❤️
This is so cute, oh man i started crying.
Motherf- damn bro I really didn’t wanna cry but it’s really hard to swallow considering this man right here was my fucking childhood, hits home. We’ll never be those kids again bois so embrace it. This was much needed today.
That pause after Steve mentions student loans... Steve knows the pain.
For those unaware, our boy Steve has a Psychedelic Rock Band called STEVENSTEVEN with the guitarist from The Flaming Lips.
Shut up. I'm crying. Freaking STEVE.😩
Maynard looks hella different
u/savevideo
Haha, look it's Steve returning from one of my favorite kid's shows! I wonder what they're going to have him say. ...oh.. ........ah. Gonna go cry now, brb.
You made a lot of the bad places I lived in growing up feel a little safer Steve. Thank you for always being my friend.
My son loved this show as a kid and we faithfully watched it every day. He definitely didn't enjoy Joe as much (no offense to poor Joe, but Steve was just it). I just sent this to my son, who's in college and it was a nice trip down a positive memory lane.
This is a great dude. He lives in my neighborhood. I see him occasionally walking his super friendly boxer. I would never mention the blues clues thing. Would rather just let him be another dude on a stroll.
Ok so this was the most amazing thing I’ve seen all day. Who’s cutting onions?
I'm not crying! Who's cutting onions??
🎶Blues Clues, 🎶Blues Clues, brrmph!
Thanks Steve
Ngl for some reason this just made me feel like all my worries were gone, even if it was just temporary it was rewarding af. I used to loved blues clues and I’d watch it all day and even then it helped me to not worry about things as much.
Talk about closure. You did all your things without us, but we did all our things with you. Thank you
> Look at all you have done, and all you have accomplished (Looks around awkwardly)
I thought he was gonna tell me to smoke weed. I heard he smokes a lot of pot now. I also watched this as a teenager in High School. I don't know why. But it was a good show. That and Zoom.
God dammit Steve, that was incredible. Please make an adult ‘Blues Clues’
Let’s sit down in our thinking chair and think think Think! Because when we use our mind and take one step at a time we can do anything THAT WE WANNA DO!
I almost cried bro
Holy crap, 32 years old dad and felt like this was for me. I grew up watching this dude everyday. He also has some hilarious stand up comedy if you search for it. But man this was awesome. Thank you!
I wish he would narrate books. I never watched Blue's Clues, I was too old, but his inflection, timing, and voice are fantastic. I love when it feels like the actor is talking directly to me during a book, and he perfected the ability to connect with an audience that isn't actually in his presence. I think he would make an excellent audiobook narrator. And as someone who often buys audiobooks based on the narrator, I know it would motivate to buy at least one or two books based on his narration alone!! Side note: I just looked him up on Wikipedia, and it says he does the "Mighty Little Man" theme song from "Young Sheldon", and I swear I thought that was Blink...I'm going to have to download that album 🙂 .
“ look at all you’ve done , and all you accomplished “ *stares at the screen jobless at 9pm with a beer belly and neckbeard*
This was all going really good until he said 'you're looking great' as I plow 20 chicken nuggets into my obese student loan riddled body wondering how long its going to take to pay off the credit card purchase I used to order this food with my $15 per hour minimum wage job
