I’m a 68 year old woman that knew nothing about you or your style of music or your story. I stumbled upon your documentary this week and your story and the depth of who you are proves to me again to not judge a person by their outward appearance. I’m a mom of adult children and if I were your mom I would be so proud of your perseverance, tenacity, courage, and big heart. I know your  mom is proud of you.

These are 2 real human beings, who don't hide their emotions. They embraced their pain, and moved forward. God bless them!

I never knew anything about Travis before watching this. I'm so impressed with how he persevered through so many tragedies and got help when he needed to. What a sweet and gentle soul Travis is!

What a gorgeous soul. Travis and Anderson. I love that you create a space for grief. For safety. For tears. For remembering. The fragility of these moments is sacred. And you just let it be. We are all connected and these podcasts remind me of our sameness. <br>Thank you.

Can I just say how refreshing it was to see an interviewer pivot and change the question instead of poking and prodding when they see an emotional break. When Cooper asked Barker about  going to school the day after his mom passed, most interviewers would have seen that moment of Barker choking on his words as the golden bullet and forced him to speak more on it. Instead Cooper pivoted the convo on his experience then changed the question. That was just so beautiful

I absolutely ADORE what Anderson’s is doing in these interviews…<br>The way he has taken his grief from his losses-most especially his mother’s death -and helping ppl-celebrities, etc., just real & raw, vulnerable ppl, to share their journeys w/grief is so very important & NEEDED in our society…

You can tell he’s comfortable telling his story because Anderson is not just interviewing but actively listening and empathizing with him!

In the sweet moment when they both hold the silence for mutual tears, all I can think is, "This is what REAL men look like." Thank you both for allowing vulnerability to be free amongst you and to hold space for each other.
