DOUG | The True Story of Doug Heir | Original Adam Ray Documentary
THE TRUE STORY OF DOUG HEIR
DOUG HEIR just might be the greatest champion you’ve
never heard of. He currently holds the WORLD
RECORDS in the Para Olympics javelin, Discus, and Shot
Put. In total, Doug has won three hundred and thirty-six
GOLD MEDALS throughout his prolific athletic career.
And he did it all in a wheelchair.
But perhaps the most awe-inspiring thing about Doug is
that he didn’t stop there. Doug would go on to become
not only one of the most decorated professional
athletes of all time, but a passionate advocate for those
who were facing similar challenges in their own lives.
From the day his entire life changed in 1979, to the day
he broke three world records, to the day he passed his
bar exam to become an attorney and everything in
between, Doug Heir’s story is one of a kind.
It’s about damn time for the rest of the world to hear it.

I can't say I ever expected something like this from the world's foremost television psychologist, but now I have something else to appreciate from the man ❤

truly brotherly love
Took me four or five minutes of listening before I walked over to the screen to figure out once and for all if this was satire or not (only because of the channel it’s on). But surprisingly, happily, it’s not. 🙂 The brotherly love in their story really hits. Brother saying, “no, I won’t throw you back in the pool-you have me, I’ll always be here.” Sneaking him out of the hospital. Waking up early to train. It’s really a beautiful thing. And I’m sure he didn’t do it to be “good” or ‘cause it was the “right” thing to do. He did it because…brothers. Makes me really miss mine. This is cool, Adam. Nice job 😌
Onya Doug!!! You're My hero and Adam Ray is a total legend for creating this piece of beauty. We love you both! From Melbourne, Australia
Just beautiful! I laughed...I cried....I said "we'll be right back!"
Adam, this is an amazing work!!! If I didn't find you were the most hilarious guy in the world, I'd tell you to give comedy up to only do documentaries but sorry, you ll have to do both! Hats off, Sir!

I couldn't agree more! Adam, this was seriously incredible!
I'd Never heard of this legend until today. Thank you for creating such a great documentary. Well done.
So very deeply moved by Doug Heir after watching this. The more I know about this Adam Ray fellar, the more I care for him.
Adam, this is the most amazing work I’ve seen in a documentary. A debut director and the funniest comic on this entire planet. Thank you for everything. Such an inspirational story with Doug, shot so well. As always, we’ll keep it right fucking here.
Doug and Brian were there for each other. What a great story of overcoming a tragedy. Turning a negative into a positive, we need more stories like this.
What a telling of the story of a man who fought through demons and came out the other end! What a brother and family he has too! Adam ray continuing to prove to everyone that he's been underrated as an artist for a long time. What a directorial debut!
I had the pleasure of meeting Doug and I can honestly say I was overwhelmed with his accomplishments and life in general. An absolutely amazing guy that needed his story told. Thanks for telling it.
Not sure how you produce such a great documentary for the first time, amazing story. Truly inspiring.
MAd respect for just putting it on youtube for everyone. You are untouchable Adam.
Wasn't even in the mood for a documentary. Started watching it, couldn't stop. Weeoowww. Amazing story
I shared this with my sister who is having a tough time lately and i am very close with her. The bond that Doug and his brother have are similar to that of me and my sister and I used this to start a conversation of inspiration and well being. Thank you for sharing this inspirational story of Doug for more people to enjoy and be motivated.
Well done Adam. You must really have the drive, the motivation to thrive, and the ABILITY to share stories about how people survive. 😉👍
Damn this story is all to familiar for me, almost hard to hear when he said "and my life changed just like that". I'm an arm amputee and the arm is paralyzed from the brachial plexus nerve being torn, so I have no feeling/movement in my arm or shoulder. I also pretty much destroyed the entire left side of my body, along with a head injury which luckily healed itself. I had a motorcycle accident in the highway when I was 17. Hearing this guys story and everything he's achieved is incredible, it's pretty hard to listen to though. Especially seeing what his family went through because I know for those 5 months I was in the hospital my family was completely devastated, even to this day it's changed their lives too. Accidents don't just change that person, it affects everyone around them. This was an excellent documentary, thank you for this.

Stay strong my brother.
I wasn't expecting to cry at this but damn, this is a message i badly needed to hear.
Came into this expecting humor and left with inspiration instead. Great story ❤
This is so fucking cool, Adam. These two brothers are absolutely INCREDIBLE. So much love to you two. So inspiring, and it came out of such tragedy. You're amazing Doug! So cool Adam, Renaissance man. ❤
Wow..appreciate you putting this together man..what a story.
Adam Ray has made me cry laughing watching his comedy, and now laugh crying watching this documentary. Wild! So happy for Doug, his brother, and their whole family.
I don’t comment on videos often. But man, this is wonderful. God bless.
Great job, Adam! Wow, what an inspirational story. Thank you for documenting Doug’s journey. Absolutely amazing. 👏
Sorry to splash, right here right now, but you are included in the master batch of comedians that have helped bring me through some serious stuff in the last half a decade. You’re brilliant funny and inspiring. I got a savior, but you guys rounded the edges. Much love and success to you. Merry Christmas, Happy Honnicu(I’m a gentile) and much peace and protection, kindness and prosperity to you and your family.
Adam, you are a wonderful producer of amazing material. Doug is an amazing person and I remember him growing up. Fantastic film.
thank you Adam, and the Heir family
Thank you Adam Ray for sharing this wonderful story with us. A true hero and inspiration.
You deserve the utmost respect for taking the audience you have acquired over this last year and showing them this to expand and show others abilities over your own is incredibly respectable and you adam ray are a modern day hero. ... thank you !
What an inspiring man. Having lost my leg in a motorcycle accident, I can relate pretty heavily to the lows and finally the highs of this roller coaster ride! Doug Heir IS my favorite athlete!
Such an inspiring story. Adam is the best and this makes me like him even more.
This was incredible to watch. Thanks for sharing Doug's story.
DUDE This was some incredible work! I expected this to be one of your character comedy docs and ended up riveted through the entire thing. Doug and his brother are absolutely a pinnacle of inspiration
Adam . Chill my man . Ur awesome and very talented . Thank you for the free content .
Scissor Bros brought me here. Such a compelling person, an incredible family, and a story that needed to be told. Thank-you.
An incredible story with such a strong brotherly bond. Great watch.
What a beautiful story. Those brothers really loved each other. Doug’s brother was super supportive. Their connection is really beautiful to see ❤️🙏🏽
Great Documentary Adam. If you’re on that edge of kinda sleepy get ready to cry. Talk about brothers to the end. Brian deserves recognition for putting his life aside for all those years to be there for his little brother.
Absolutely awe inspiring and incredible work Adam and Doug!
Adam you did such an amazing job so glad to see this and thank you for referral on Rogan. This is a beautiful story and you maintained the integrity of Doug’s journey and Doug and his families incredible positive story!!
Beautiful, thanks for this Adam! Shame i’ve never heard of him before this
Great stuff! I came here thinking this was some sort of character piece. Little that I know I was gonna be blown away and moved. ❤ this! Thank you for sharing this story!
Pretending. Jesus. Chronic pain is absolute evil, it will absolutely murder your mind, hence my constant viewing of comedy, over 20 years of chronic pain due to dislocating daily for me so thank you for all the distracting laughs. I will definitely watch this🤘

Me too. 12 years in February, TBI and nerve pain.
what an incredible story this is! From perseverance to brotherly love what a beautiful yet sad story. What an incredible Family. Adam you outdid yourself on this one. I have a friend who went through something very similar to this and it is amazing to see the will power people have to keep going. It blows my mind too to see how we went from teaching kids to be healthy and active and to take charge of your life, to its ok to be 500 pounds and do absolutely nothing with yourself.
Well done, Adam!! Such an amazingly beautiful and inspiring documentary. Thank you!!
Wow by far the best documentary ever. I had never heard Doug's story - so I really want to thank Adam Ray for putting this out. I was asked to watch this by Jeremy Reed - and he has never let me down so glad to read this inspirational story. I am disabled as well and it makes me want to keep on pushing through the pain & to be able to say I can do that rather than I can't do that anymore. ❤
wow! dude... what an absolutely amazing story. truly an inspiration. not only doug, but brian also. hats off to adam for putting this together so well.
Ended up here from JRE and I'm glad I did. Awesome story!
This is not what I expected but man am I glad I tuned in
Well the Rogan views gonna blow up now, mine included. What abgreat story. Well done Adam
Thank you, Adam. I am recommending this to as many people as I can. Fantastic product. What an inspiring man, brother and family.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very well done, Adam. A man I've never heard of, I now consider a legend.
So well done. What can't you do, Adam?! 👍🏻👍🏻
This was incredible…..thanks so much for making this.
Amazing story
This is one of the most amazing stories I’ve ever heard, and the production values are definitely world class. Congratulations to Doug for all he has and continues to accomplish in his life, and to Adam for bringing this to life.
Amazing doc, great job Adam Ray
Just watched the JRE episode with you Adam. Had to watch this right after, what a great documentary! Doug is a legend. Thanks for sharing his story
This was an incredible story that was emotional and inspiring. Extremely well done and hope these documentaries continue.
Your best work yet! Thank you for sharing.
Great job with this Adam. Amazing Story that needed to be shared
Such an inspirational story and well done doc with great music.
Well done. This was so inspirational. Thank you! ❤😊 God bless.
You killed this doc Adam!👏👏 cant wait to see more from you.
This was soo great brother. My cousin is a quadriplegic and he would love this and has just about the best attitude in life such as doug… this makes me wanna call him up right now and I think I just might. My cousin joe has his doctorate in psychology and is the brightest light I can think of. Joe was a football player in high school and was gonna go to Norte dame or Wisconsin to play football full ride and was in wrestling practice that end of his senior year and a kid fell on him just wrong and broke his neck. He’s never been able to use his hands or legs but blows through a tube and moves around better than most I tell ya, and has an amazing sense of humor about life just like this. Amazing work. Thanks so much.
Thanks Dr Phil!
Jesus Christ what a documentary.. and the real wisdom at the end. Shout out Doug for being Doug and shout Adam for bringing us who missed out on Doug to our attention
Doug is an amazing person! His story with his brother is the best. I love my brother so much! A definite must watch!
Impressed all around. Never heard this story and the quality of the doc is strong. Strong like Doug. Love it
Jesus Christ Adam, this was incredible! What a story!
This was great, thank you! It would be neat to see the behind the scenes or a podcast episode with Adam, Doug and Brian.
JRE brought me here. 48k views as of now. Let’s get that Rogan bump it deserves! 💪
What a great documentary. Inspiring individuals. The Para Olympics starts on the 28th of August and I shall watch thinking of what they gave to Doug.
Thank you Adam, thank you Doug. This was beautiful
I have been having a hard time lately, and I can't tell how much I needed this, thank you
Great job, Adam ❤❤❤❤
Excited to see more documentaries like this. Thank you Adam Ray for telling his story.
Definitely worth watching for anyone guys a legend
A beautiful story to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Adam Ray continues to impress me, through comedy now this? What an incredibly made Doc and story. Adam is the comedian/actor/producer/Dr Phil of the year!
this is so cool! ive never heard of this guy and I'm delighted to learn
I really thought this was going to be Adam dressed up, great work as always.
Incredible! Thank you Adam for bringing us all this story.
This is so well done. A totally original documentary is a rare gem.
I would have never expected this from you. Great job, Adam!
Thanks for this video. I have a sibling that was paralyzed and then strangely enough, a few years later I was paralyzed in an accident. So I have been on both sides of it.

Speechless. Thanks, Doug! And thanks,Adam.
Truly touching. Thank you.
Truly one of the greatest atheletes
amazing and inspiring. Thanks Adam for sharing Doug's story with the world
Adam, I came to your KZread page after remembering I love your comedy. This doc is such a pleasant surprise, very well done man. Thank you
Here after the Rogan bump. Thought I would let you know, for analytics or whatever
Great documentary!!
What an amazing story and even more amazing human. Thank you for making this film Adam!!
Are we living in the midst of an Adam Ray-naissance or what?? I follow a lot of creators, and so many just regurgitate whatever content they think will conquer the algorithm… meanwhile Adam puts out thoughtful new content on the regular that you can tell is near and dear to his heart. So rad to see all sides to this man- keep it up!!!
Great job on this Adam!
