It's okay to cry man, we care about you so much. Please take the time you need, you've helped us all through so many shitty times and you deserve that love in return. I'm so sorry for your loss Kurtis. If you need a few weeks off I promise we'll understand. Please take care of yourself.
Him fighting against his tears made me cry (and also the fact that the first thing that came to his mind was to tell us to hug our dads, it just goes to show how good of a person he is), that's how much he means to me and to all of you as well, i'm sure. And as a person who has a language barrier between me and my dad, i'd love to hug him but it would just come off forced.
This guy will not stop saying "I'm sorry if this comes off creepy" while continuing to intrude. *follows you home* "I'm so sorry if i creeped you out, that was not my intention at all. I just wanted to make sure no one followed you home cause I'm a caring guy "
"Yeah, a lot of my friends are women and all of them have stories about creepy dudes texting them" "Also, I have big feet, think about what that means, babydoll"
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad, too, and think a coke and popcorn in his honor sounds like a pretty great way to honor him to me. This wasn’t a buzzkill at all, thanks for sharing with us. To be honest, ending the pod with something heartfelt and genuine was probably the best thing to follow that creep’s stalker messages. Hang in there, Kurt.
Hey Kurtis, Long time listener, first time commenter. Just wanted to hop in and say I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure I speak for all of Kurtistown when I say we could all feel your sadness and totally understand how hard it must have been to power through those emotions to close out the episode and it's why we love you. This episode I laughed, I cried, and I laughed while I cried. An all-time episode from an all-time dude.
As someone with ADHD i have never cringed as much as i did listening to those voice messages. Holy shit, the lack of self awareness is so embarrassing. You can HEAR in his voice he thinks he is the main character and the coolest person on planet earth.
@@phonegloomy First of all, you CANNOT say you have "soon-to-be diagnosed autism" if you are not diagnosed, because that implies that you WILL be diagnosed (which you don't know if you will). Autism isn't a cute or quirky character trait, it's a big pain in the ass. If you're symptomatic of autism then just say so, but do not claim to be autistic or "soon to be autistic 🤪". A lot of us go through extensive screening and tests so we can have answers, not so we can brag about having autism on the internet.
@nomoretwitterhandles As someone with autism as well, I dont think thats how they meant it and this was an unnecessarily aggressive response. If they are autistic, you just ostracized someone in your own community. I get what you're trying to say but I dont think thats how they meant it. Maybe they're 100% sure but are just going through the formalities of getting diagnosed. Sometimes you just know, you know? I knew for a while before I got formally diagnosed. Anyways, good luck out there everybody!
You reacting to these voicemails is putting this episode into S tier status for me. The funniest fucking faces and everything you're saying is 100% facts. Sorry to hear about your step-dad ❤ big love = big grief
Deepest condolences for your step dad. Never apologize for your feelings!! Especially how valid these ones are. I hope you can grieve properly and do whatever you need to move on. Much love 🩷
like we already have it bad enough with how easily ppl think we’re manipulative and using excuses for him to use our traits as the explanation for his horrendous behavior
We don't care if you cry, man! My step-dad has been there for me my whole life too and I can't even imagine how hard it would be to lose him. All of your fans would support you taking some more time for yourself too. Grieving sucks. Wishing you the best and sending my condolences for your dad.
hey kurt! i know how hard losing a parent can be, take your time with this & take breaks when you need to. i’m sending my condolences to you and your family. (also it’s always okay to express your emotions, so please try not to feel bad about it.) love ya kurt!

Dont ever feel the need to apologize man. You're grieving and that's okay you don't even owe us an explanation for taking time off. We citizens of Kurtis Town would never judge you for expressing your grief. My condolences for your loss and i hope that the pain eases soon.
omg that guy sounds like a character that one comedian would do a skit about. i dont know how her name but she made that video about “every female bartender in a movie” i cant believe ppl like him actually exist
It's okay to cry, it's your own podcast after all! I also lost my dad a couple years ago; it can be really painful to remember him and wish he was still alive. You've cultivated an audience that's caring and kind, so be kind to yourself.
Thank you so fucking much for all of the amazing content over the years man, and for opening up about your horrific loss at the end. I'm crying right along with you, man. He sounds like he was an indescribably wonderful person and father to you and I can see how much of a tragedy this is for you. If it helps any, though I doubt you'll see this comment, your videos helped get me off crystal meth this last year, so ie kinda saved my life. I love you, man. Be strong.
Thank you, Kurtis for being vulnerable and talking about your step father. Don’t ever apologize for showing emotion. I’m crying with you. Im very sorry for your loss
Just cracked a can of coca cola in honor of your step dad. Sorry to hear about your loss, Kurtis. Im sure he was a stand up guy, having a hand in raising you to be the person you are. My best to your family during this difficult time.
I'm hard tearing up at the end. And I don't even have a dad. I'm Sorry for your loss Kurtis. You make millions of people smile and feel good everyday. Thank you ❤
I'm honestly glad someone agrees with me on Colleen's past videos. I remember watching some of them. And to be specific, I have this memory of watching one where she slowly gave this guy this comically large papercut for a prank or whatever it was. It has stuck with me ever since lmao
The few people I knew that liked her were all super into the fandom side of Tumblr (Sherlock, Doctor Who, Supernatural, ecc) and Tumblr in general, so draw your conclusions I guess
i know i cant believe when people are like she seemed like the sweetest person when the videos of her animal abuse and racism and etc were all public like
Yeah I also never really "got" her videos. I always thought they seemed weird and figured they were just aimed at a younger audience than me. I was born in 1998 so I feel like in her hay day I was supposed to like her videos but I just found them very off-putting. And for the record I was a weird doctor who Sherlock fangirl lmao
Kurtis, your grief is so apparent, and your ability to still smile and laugh is so important and beautiful. My partner and I feel your pain and send love and support in your direction. Showing your grief was very inspiring and I'm sure it touched others as it did us, especially those who have experienced loss. ❤
My condolences Kurtis, We are all so proud of you and your family. I lost my maternal grandfather a year ago. Loosing my grandpa, watching my mom loose her dad, and seeing my grandma loose her partner of 60+ years was so disheartening. We have all grown so much in the past year and supported one another in ways I never would’ve expected. Im sure of his importance to you guys and the loss it is to your family, but you guys got this :) wishing you well in mind, body, & spirit!
KURTIS, it hurts so much to see you hurt like that but we support you and always will. You are nothing like the guy in the voicemail talking a bunch, your job in the podcast is to talk a bunch, and we like hearing you talk A BUNCH. So please don’t feel embarrassed about crying or talking about it because this is YOUR podcast and you can talk about whatever you want. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you heal. We hope you feel better soon along with your family. My condolences. ❤️
kurt your videos and humor were there for me during one of the worst and scariest times of my life, and I appreciate you. now that you've shared the memory of your stepdad with all of us he's immortalized in this small way. I hope you feel better soon
i know i’m not the only one who really appreciates you openly talking about you’re feelings and certain things that happen in life. i’m so sorry for your loss but really appreciate you being so vulnerable with us, especially after these last few years.
i too play airhorn sounds and the vine boom when i am getting deeply emotional and vulnerable i feel this so hard right now, i recently found out my sorta distant dad is literally addicted to meth and like there's so many complicated feelings around it but i just really appreciate loved ones that are so genuinely there for me and in my corner and appreciate you sharing that with us, we love u
That guy is exactly how I'd imagine Brian Griffin would be like real life. Also, sending my condolences to you and your family. Remember that grief is just another form of love, that remains like a hand on our shoulders. We all appreciate you and your dedication to your channels, but never feel guilty if you have to take time off.
@@mmeggnn Got it from Vision in Wandavision ("Grief is love persevering"), I paraphrased but either way it has changed my own perception of grief a lot. Glad it helped.
I lost my father when I was 13 years old and I learned that the first fathers day and the first one of pretty much each holiday without him is really hard, but it does get easier through the years. From everything youve ever said about him on your channel, your stepdad was an awesome man and he obviously loved you and your sister a lot. Your community loves you and were all sending our deepest condolences (btw, you slayed this episode, per usual) take care Mr. Mayor
Kurtis, as someone who has been a fan since your vine days and as someone who is currently going through their first ever major death....thank you for your vulnerability. Ive been a mess. Its nice to feel like thats a normal thing to experience during times like this. Sending all the love and hoping you find ways to grow with your grief ❤
thank you for being so vulnerable at the end of this podcast. As someone who lost a parent, I know there’s nothing anyone can say to take away your pain, but thank you for being so honest and open about this.
Hi Kurtis, I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m currently going through my mom being palliative with not that long left. While I haven’t lost her yet, I very much feel the coping mechanisms vibes at the end of this podcast. I’m sending you ~ good vibes ~ at this time, and rest assured that your dad knew you loved him. Thank you for sharing; this made me feel less alone. I know that it wasn’t easy. Best, Random stranger on the internet
you may not be religious but i’ll pray for your mom. i can’t imagine what you’re going through right now. you’re strong and your mom is very lucky to have you. much love, another internet stranger🩷
I lost my dad when I was 12. It's been 23 years now and as soon as you started talking about it I started to tear up because I know those feelings. It fucking sucks dude. You don't have to apologize for crying either. We're fans because you're a human just like us. Just funnier 😂. Side note I wait tables and I saw a girl wearing one of your shirts the other day! It made me so happy lol like I was seeing a fellow member of a club I was in
Hi Kurtis! I'm a proud member of kurtistown and wanted to say that I've developed really and anxiety over the last year and it's really hard for me to do simple things like shower or do my makeup without feeling anxious but your podcast has really helped me to just zone out and be present and laugh when I feel like I don't have control of my anxiety. Thank u for what you do, I'm so sorry for your loss and congrats on the variety article!!
I lost my dad about a year and a half ago. I know how heartbreaking it is. It’s weird having to continue with your normal life when you’ve lost such an important guiding figure in your life. I completely relate to the impulse to make jokes to cope. Take all the time you need to take care of yourself.
Brought tears to my eyes. Same thing happened to me in my early high school years and its been a few years but the pain is hard. We can all get through this together
32:25 Idkw it tickled me so much that Kurtis and I were annoyed and groaned at the same points during that Bumble stalker segment. That guy sounds EXHAUSTINGGG
Thank you for making me laugh and cry in this episode. Grief is a complicated process and you are brave to share this with us. Sending you so much love and healing energy to you and your family. Biggest hugs from everyone here in Kurtistown ♥️♥️♥️
I swear grief is the weirdest - you can be sitting there thinking about someone you’ve lost and no tears but the second you start trying to talk out loud about that person it’s almost impossible not to cry. Lost my Dad 2 years ago and I still make him a card for Father’s Day
Hey man, sorry for your loss. It sucks going through something like that yet still pushing through with making content and even talking about it to an audience. We all wish nothing but the best for you and your family
was listening to the pod at the gym, thanks for the sound effects at the end they helped me not cry in public. i miss my dad a lot and i will be having one big humongous bowl of popcorn with a rudonculously large coke in honor of both lawrence and my dad. thank you kurtis.
You really do not need to apologize for not uploading or for crying on your podcast. Loss of a family member we deeply care about is always tough and we need moments to let it all out. Many of us empathize with you and I hope you have your own version of the Very Really Good podcast to take your mind off things, even for a bit.
I’m so sorry Kurtis, it didn’t kill the mood it’s difficult for anyone to talk about something as serious as this without shedding a few tears, stay strong bro we love you, I know your Dads super proud of you :]
My dad died when I was really young, and while I didn’t get as much of a chance to know my dad as you did, i can imagine the feeling is similarly awful. No amount of condolences or kind words will ever change the way missing him will make you feel, but it does get easier to manage. Thank you for signing my “X-Ray Kid” DVD in Brisbane after the show on your Au/Nz tour, I’m so embarrassed of how drunk I was. Since I briefly met you not long ago, knowing your dad was still here at that time, and having experienced that pain myself, my heart truly goes out to you my dude.
Guy in voicemail: I also hate it when people don't read my bio, effort should match interest Also guy in voicemail: Gives a fifteen minute straight monologue on himself
I really send my deepest condolences man. Your stepdad seems like a truly amazing and a 1 in a trillion type of person. I hope you and your family are doing okay and that heart to heart in the end was really beautiful.
My stepdad passed away in 2020 because of covid. I also saw him as my dad. The best thing for me was to embrace the love and support from friends and family that I had around me during that hard time. Also letting myself cry it out and express that emotion rather than pushing it down has helped too.
Kurtis I’m so sorry about Lawrence. I wish you the most comfort and love in your healing process, it’s the absolute worst. My stepdad, who was like a father to me, passed away in January and it’s been a lot of crying and laughing and uncomfortable jokes and more crying and Father’s Day this year sucked so much without him but it will get easier to think about him over time without crying. But in the meantime, do not apologize for crying and feeling and all the other terrible parts of grief. Sending all my love to you and your family ❤
loss is such a hard part of reality, but i want you to know that as someone who lost their dad/ basically best friend about 7 years ago i understand your grief. the moment you started talking about it i truly saw myself in your demeanor. i want to thank you for sharing this so openly, i know there are so so many who can relate to this and even feel more seen in their own grief because of it. i also know this could not have been comfortable, making it so much more meaningful to me at least. grief isn’t comfortable, but i don’t think it is meant to be, especially not at first. there is peace eventually but there will always be times where it all feels too raw again. that’s just because those people will never leave you really, which is something i find sort of beautiful. thank you again for this moment, and know his memory can always live on through you and countless others who loved him. p.s. in case you do see this i just need you to know that my first introduction to you was the song “In Love With A Creeper” and i still bump it constantly. i have forced many of my friends to listen to it as well and they have agreed it’s just objectively good.
The good thing about being as empathetic and caring as you are, is that you’ve surrounded yourself with viewers that have the same empathy and care. I feel like I can speak for everyone when I say that you don’t ever have to worry about how sharing your feelings or personal experiences with us will effect how we see you or your content. I personally don’t take in any form of content with the goal of laughing the entire time. It sounds like Lawrence was an awesome guy, and I’m sorry for your loss. I hope that your family heals and that you have some better days ahead. For the sake of not sounding like the bumble guy, I’ll leave it at that.
I'm sorry for your loss, your my favorite creator and you helped my laugh through some pretty dark stuff, it's ok to be sad and we understand if you need time to grief, sending you all the love and support you've given me over the years
Holy cow brother. You had me actually crying there at the end. Don’t feel like you have to act in a certain way when you are who you are and everyone came here to see you. It is a very emotional situation when you lose someone you love. I think it’s healthy to talk about stuff I am going through because it makes it easier for me to process. Sending my deepest condolences! I mask with comedy as well.❤
losing a parent at a young age changes your entire life in the blink of an eye, sending you strength kurtis , i’m gonna have to try a sound board to avoid water works now
My condolences to you in this rough time Kurtis. I lost my father in December of last year so I understand how difficult it is to lose that person in your life. Take breaks and time for yourself during your grieving process. Never feel bad for expressing how you feel, the situation is tragic and crying is completely understandable. Peace and love 💗💗💗
i understand it’s hard to talk about, but never apologize for crying, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing with us!! i’m so sorry you and your family are dealing with such a big loss ❤️
your emotions aren’t a buzzkill man!! i can’t fucking imagine losing a parent. take as much time as you need to grieve, and we appreciate you being open and vulnerable. sending love
I hope you and your family are able to navigate this together, I’m sorry for your loss. thank you for your podcast and main channel vids man they always brighten my day. much love and healing to you and congrats on all the good things you’ve got going for you as well.
i’m genuinely sorry for your loss kurtis. i hope you know you can take your time to grieve we’re still gonna be here for you when come back. we’ll support you through all of it. thanks for doing you dude. lots of love bro ❤️
Kurtis I am so sorry for your loss. I recently lost a friend of mine and your videos have always been a pick me up, especially when coping with the loss. you deserve the world, and congratulations on variety!! Thank you for always being a bright light in the darkest situations ❤️
Holy shit dude I'm so sorry to hear about your step-dad. Sending you and your family condolences. I hope you let yourself take time off if you need it, everyone would understand. You've mentioned a few times over the years how important he is to you. Like everyone here, I'm always happy to see a new episode, but I'd never want you to feel obligated. If working helps, then I'm all for it, but if it doesn't then please put yourself first. None of us are going anywhere, there's no rush, and we'd rather you be well than anything else.
i’m so so sorry for your loss, kurtis. when i saw your instagram post i audibly gasped, because i remembered how you talked about your step-dad with such admiration and love. continuing to make content and posting is amazing, and you are so strong to keep pushing during such a difficult time. watching you try not to cry and get choked up made me cry. i hope nothing but happiness for you and your family ❤️
Sending love your way Kurtis ❤️ Thanks for the wholesome heart to heart at the end of the episode, it wasn’t a buzzkilll at all. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of the podcast and me and the rest of Kurtistowm will be sending you and your family lots of thoughts, love, and prayers. ❤
Very sorry for your loss, Kurtis. I only found you on RUclips like a couple months ago and can tell how genuine and good you are. Please keep doing what you’re doing, we’ve got your back. Never change!
i normally dont comment on videos but i recently lost a close family member as well and i can understand a bit of what your going through and i know how difficult it can be so thank your for opening up about it that clearly wasn't easy to do and im crying with you rn. im so sorry for your loss your stepdad sounds like he was an amazing guy and may he rest in peace.
Well that guy was unbearable. He said "bio" SO many times. I got increasingly pissed off every time he said it. And thank you for being vulnerable. Take the space you need. All the big love from your citizens. 🖤
Sorry for your loss kurt, I completely feel for you. I lost my dad last year and even though we didn’t have the best relationship it still very much hurts. Your videos helped cheer me up during that time, so thank you! Please look after yourself. Wishing for all good things to come to you and your family. ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss Kurtis ❤ From what you’ve said of him in the past, it sounded like he was a really awesome dude and a great dad. I hope that you are taking care of yourself as best as you can, and leaning on your people for support.
SORRY WE HAD SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES BUT WE’RE BACK
its okay kurtboy we love you forever & always
i almost thought i hallucinated watching it earlier
yeah i watched this earlier lmao i was wondering what happened
yay😭
I WAS SO CONFUSED YAY
the pipeline between "hey Siri, are you sentient ?" to "do it fart ?" was crazy
I could not stop laughing😂😂
It's okay to cry man, we care about you so much. Please take the time you need, you've helped us all through so many shitty times and you deserve that love in return. I'm so sorry for your loss Kurtis. If you need a few weeks off I promise we'll understand. Please take care of yourself.

And as a person who has a language barrier between me and my dad, i'd love to hug him but it would just come off forced.
Xdd
Seeing Kurtis physically reel and cough like he inhaled an entire cigarette during those voicemails is so justified
"sorry for crying on here" KURTIS IT'S OK WE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU
This guy will not stop saying "I'm sorry if this comes off creepy" while continuing to intrude.
*follows you home* "I'm so sorry if i creeped you out, that was not my intention at all. I just wanted to make sure no one followed you home cause I'm a caring guy "
Adding because I just got to the end: I'm so very sorry for your loss Kurtis. Never apologize for your feelings
"Yeah, a lot of my friends are women and all of them have stories about creepy dudes texting them"
"Also, I have big feet, think about what that means, babydoll"
Bro had to be on coke just going on a tangent 😂
I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad, too, and think a coke and popcorn in his honor sounds like a pretty great way to honor him to me. This wasn’t a buzzkill at all, thanks for sharing with us.

Much love to you Kurtis
Thank you so fucking much for all of the amazing content over the years man, and for opening up about your horrific loss at the end. I'm crying right along with you, man. He sounds like he was an indescribably wonderful person and father to you and I can see how much of a tragedy this is for you. If it helps any, though I doubt you'll see this comment, your videos helped get me off crystal meth this last year, so ie kinda saved my life. I love you, man. Be strong.
congrats on being sober, it’s hard to overcome addiction. please be proud of yourself :) 💚
That's crazy man, I'm proud of you, and I'm sure Kurtis is too ❤💪
Congrats on the sobriety man.
holy smokes, huge congrats on sobriety!!
that’s amazing, congrats!!! :) 💖💖💖
Thank you, Kurtis for being vulnerable and talking about your step father. Don’t ever apologize for showing emotion. I’m crying with you. Im very sorry for your loss
Just cracked a can of coca cola in honor of your step dad. Sorry to hear about your loss, Kurtis. Im sure he was a stand up guy, having a hand in raising you to be the person you are. My best to your family during this difficult time.
I'm hard tearing up at the end. And I don't even have a dad.
I'm Sorry for your loss Kurtis. You make millions of people smile and feel good everyday. Thank you ❤
I'm honestly glad someone agrees with me on Colleen's past videos. I remember watching some of them. And to be specific, I have this memory of watching one where she slowly gave this guy this comically large papercut for a prank or whatever it was. It has stuck with me ever since lmao
I thought she was incredibly weird!! I didn't know anyone in person who actually liked her videos, idk how she was ever popular
The few people I knew that liked her were all super into the fandom side of Tumblr (Sherlock, Doctor Who, Supernatural, ecc) and Tumblr in general, so draw your conclusions I guess
i know i cant believe when people are like she seemed like the sweetest person when the videos of her animal abuse and racism and etc were all public like
SHE DID WHAT 😨
Yeah I also never really "got" her videos. I always thought they seemed weird and figured they were just aimed at a younger audience than me. I was born in 1998 so I feel like in her hay day I was supposed to like her videos but I just found them very off-putting. And for the record I was a weird doctor who Sherlock fangirl lmao
that voicememo took years off me life
Kurtis, your grief is so apparent, and your ability to still smile and laugh is so important and beautiful. My partner and I feel your pain and send love and support in your direction. Showing your grief was very inspiring and I'm sure it touched others as it did us, especially those who have experienced loss. ❤
My condolences Kurtis, We are all so proud of you and your family. I lost my maternal grandfather a year ago. Loosing my grandpa, watching my mom loose her dad, and seeing my grandma loose her partner of 60+ years was so disheartening. We have all grown so much in the past year and supported one another in ways I never would’ve expected. Im sure of his importance to you guys and the loss it is to your family, but you guys got this :) wishing you well in mind, body, & spirit!
i'm so sorry. i know what it's like to lose someone like that and i wish you and your family the best
So sorry for your and the other replier’s losses, may they rest in peace
KURTIS, it hurts so much to see you hurt like that but we support you and always will. You are nothing like the guy in the voicemail talking a bunch, your job in the podcast is to talk a bunch, and we like hearing you talk A BUNCH. So please don’t feel embarrassed about crying or talking about it because this is YOUR podcast and you can talk about whatever you want. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you heal. We hope you feel better soon along with your family. My condolences. ❤️
kurt your videos and humor were there for me during one of the worst and scariest times of my life, and I appreciate you. now that you've shared the memory of your stepdad with all of us he's immortalized in this small way. I hope you feel better soon
Using the fart sound effects to help you power through grief was so real, def been there before 😅 sending you and your family love ❤
i know i’m not the only one who really appreciates you openly talking about you’re feelings and certain things that happen in life. i’m so sorry for your loss but really appreciate you being so vulnerable with us, especially after these last few years.
i too play airhorn sounds and the vine boom when i am getting deeply emotional and vulnerable
i feel this so hard right now, i recently found out my sorta distant dad is literally addicted to meth and like there's so many complicated feelings around it but i just really appreciate loved ones that are so genuinely there for me and in my corner and appreciate you sharing that with us, we love u
Hey man, hope ur doing ok 🫂
Kurtis you are an absolute gift. Thanks for being so real.
Those audio messages were torture methods that could have been legitimately used in the middle ages
That guy is exactly how I'd imagine Brian Griffin would be like real life.
Also, sending my condolences to you and your family. Remember that grief is just another form of love, that remains like a hand on our shoulders. We all appreciate you and your dedication to your channels, but never feel guilty if you have to take time off.
Oh My God Yes huge Brian Griffin vibes
never heard that explanation of grief, but really needed to. thank u for sharing
@@mmeggnn Got it from Vision in Wandavision ("Grief is love persevering"), I paraphrased but either way it has changed my own perception of grief a lot. Glad it helped.
"I am an animal guy but fuck cats". Most Brian Griffin man I have ever heard
Hope you’re doing ok. I lost my brother four years ago but it still gets to me. Grief is hard but I still try my best to not let it consume me.
I lost my father when I was 13 years old and I learned that the first fathers day and the first one of pretty much each holiday without him is really hard, but it does get easier through the years. From everything youve ever said about him on your channel, your stepdad was an awesome man and he obviously loved you and your sister a lot. Your community loves you and were all sending our deepest condolences (btw, you slayed this episode, per usual) take care Mr. Mayor
Kurtis, as someone who has been a fan since your vine days and as someone who is currently going through their first ever major death....thank you for your vulnerability. Ive been a mess. Its nice to feel like thats a normal thing to experience during times like this. Sending all the love and hoping you find ways to grow with your grief ❤
sending love your way, as well🩷 so sorry for your loss
@@starsapphiree thank you...that means so much 💞🫂
So sorry for your loss, may they rest in peace and may you find peace as well
thank you for being so vulnerable at the end of this podcast. As someone who lost a parent, I know there’s nothing anyone can say to take away your pain, but thank you for being so honest and open about this.
Hi Kurtis,
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’m currently going through my mom being palliative with not that long left. While I haven’t lost her yet, I very much feel the coping mechanisms vibes at the end of this podcast.
I’m sending you ~ good vibes ~ at this time, and rest assured that your dad knew you loved him.
Thank you for sharing; this made me feel less alone. I know that it wasn’t easy.
Best,
Random stranger on the internet
you may not be religious but i’ll pray for your mom. i can’t imagine what you’re going through right now. you’re strong and your mom is very lucky to have you. much love, another internet stranger🩷
Wishing you and your mother good times
I lost my dad when I was 12. It's been 23 years now and as soon as you started talking about it I started to tear up because I know those feelings. It fucking sucks dude. You don't have to apologize for crying either. We're fans because you're a human just like us. Just funnier 😂. Side note I wait tables and I saw a girl wearing one of your shirts the other day! It made me so happy lol like I was seeing a fellow member of a club I was in
Hi Kurtis! I'm a proud member of kurtistown and wanted to say that I've developed really and anxiety over the last year and it's really hard for me to do simple things like shower or do my makeup without feeling anxious but your podcast has really helped me to just zone out and be present and laugh when I feel like I don't have control of my anxiety. Thank u for what you do, I'm so sorry for your loss and congrats on the variety article!!
Hopefully your anxiety gets better soon, sending my wishes
I lost my dad about a year and a half ago. I know how heartbreaking it is. It’s weird having to continue with your normal life when you’ve lost such an important guiding figure in your life. I completely relate to the impulse to make jokes to cope. Take all the time you need to take care of yourself.
hope you're doing better, sorry for your loss
Brought tears to my eyes. Same thing happened to me in my early high school years and its been a few years but the pain is hard. We can all get through this together
@@elvira4915 so, so sorry you lost your father.
32:25 Idkw it tickled me so much that Kurtis and I were annoyed and groaned at the same points during that Bumble stalker segment. That guy sounds EXHAUSTINGGG
Thank you for making me laugh and cry in this episode. Grief is a complicated process and you are brave to share this with us. Sending you so much love and healing energy to you and your family. Biggest hugs from everyone here in Kurtistown ♥️♥️♥️
Sorry about your dad, Kurtis. He lives on in you and everyone he touched in life.
I swear grief is the weirdest - you can be sitting there thinking about someone you’ve lost and no tears but the second you start trying to talk out loud about that person it’s almost impossible not to cry. Lost my Dad 2 years ago and I still make him a card for Father’s Day
Hey man, sorry for your loss. It sucks going through something like that yet still pushing through with making content and even talking about it to an audience. We all wish nothing but the best for you and your family
The amount of times I winced while listening to those audio messages.
was listening to the pod at the gym, thanks for the sound effects at the end they helped me not cry in public. i miss my dad a lot and i will be having one big humongous bowl of popcorn with a rudonculously large coke in honor of both lawrence and my dad. thank you kurtis.
You really do not need to apologize for not uploading or for crying on your podcast. Loss of a family member we deeply care about is always tough and we need moments to let it all out. Many of us empathize with you and I hope you have your own version of the Very Really Good podcast to take your mind off things, even for a bit.
this ep literally could notve come at a better time! having my evening sesh 🍃
"notve" 😭
Real
@@nomoretwitterhandlesto be fair, there high
@@livvlife*they’re
@@nomoretwitterhandlesim pretty sure not've is an valid contraction
I’m so sorry Kurtis, it didn’t kill the mood it’s difficult for anyone to talk about something as serious as this without shedding a few tears, stay strong bro we love you, I know your Dads super proud of you :]
I be giggling jumping up and down saying “yippe!” when the podcast uploads 🗣️
My dad died when I was really young, and while I didn’t get as much of a chance to know my dad as you did, i can imagine the feeling is similarly awful. No amount of condolences or kind words will ever change the way missing him will make you feel, but it does get easier to manage.
Thank you for signing my “X-Ray Kid” DVD in Brisbane after the show on your Au/Nz tour, I’m so embarrassed of how drunk I was. Since I briefly met you not long ago, knowing your dad was still here at that time, and having experienced that pain myself, my heart truly goes out to you my dude.
"Your bio is just the fucking bees knees"
I hated everything about that.
Guy in voicemail: I also hate it when people don't read my bio, effort should match interest
Also guy in voicemail: Gives a fifteen minute straight monologue on himself
His interest is in himself
I really send my deepest condolences man. Your stepdad seems like a truly amazing and a 1 in a trillion type of person. I hope you and your family are doing okay and that heart to heart in the end was really beautiful.
My stepdad passed away in 2020 because of covid. I also saw him as my dad. The best thing for me was to embrace the love and support from friends and family that I had around me during that hard time. Also letting myself cry it out and express that emotion rather than pushing it down has helped too.
Kurtis I’m so sorry about Lawrence. I wish you the most comfort and love in your healing process, it’s the absolute worst. My stepdad, who was like a father to me, passed away in January and it’s been a lot of crying and laughing and uncomfortable jokes and more crying and Father’s Day this year sucked so much without him but it will get easier to think about him over time without crying. But in the meantime, do not apologize for crying and feeling and all the other terrible parts of grief. Sending all my love to you and your family ❤
loss is such a hard part of reality, but i want you to know that as someone who lost their dad/ basically best friend about 7 years ago i understand your grief. the moment you started talking about it i truly saw myself in your demeanor. i want to thank you for sharing this so openly, i know there are so so many who can relate to this and even feel more seen in their own grief because of it. i also know this could not have been comfortable, making it so much more meaningful to me at least. grief isn’t comfortable, but i don’t think it is meant to be, especially not at first. there is peace eventually but there will always be times where it all feels too raw again. that’s just because those people will never leave you really, which is something i find sort of beautiful. thank you again for this moment, and know his memory can always live on through you and countless others who loved him.
p.s. in case you do see this i just need you to know that my first introduction to you was the song “In Love With A Creeper” and i still bump it constantly. i have forced many of my friends to listen to it as well and they have agreed it’s just objectively good.
The good thing about being as empathetic and caring as you are, is that you’ve surrounded yourself with viewers that have the same empathy and care. I feel like I can speak for everyone when I say that you don’t ever have to worry about how sharing your feelings or personal experiences with us will effect how we see you or your content. I personally don’t take in any form of content with the goal of laughing the entire time. It sounds like Lawrence was an awesome guy, and I’m sorry for your loss. I hope that your family heals and that you have some better days ahead. For the sake of not sounding like the bumble guy, I’ll leave it at that.
I'm sorry for your loss, your my favorite creator and you helped my laugh through some pretty dark stuff, it's ok to be sad and we understand if you need time to grief, sending you all the love and support you've given me over the years
man I was a solid 35 mins in to this when you first posted it LMAOOO so happy you finally reposted :D love you kurt boy
You are never a buzzkill Kurtis. My heart goes out to you for your loss and may you and your family find solace and support during this time.
Holy cow brother. You had me actually crying there at the end. Don’t feel like you have to act in a certain way when you are who you are and everyone came here to see you. It is a very emotional situation when you lose someone you love. I think it’s healthy to talk about stuff I am going through because it makes it easier for me to process. Sending my deepest condolences! I mask with comedy as well.❤
losing a parent at a young age changes your entire life in the blink of an eye, sending you strength kurtis , i’m gonna have to try a sound board to avoid water works now
My condolences to you in this rough time Kurtis. I lost my father in December of last year so I understand how difficult it is to lose that person in your life. Take breaks and time for yourself during your grieving process. Never feel bad for expressing how you feel, the situation is tragic and crying is completely understandable. Peace and love 💗💗💗
i understand it’s hard to talk about, but never apologize for crying, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing with us!! i’m so sorry you and your family are dealing with such a big loss ❤️
your emotions aren’t a buzzkill man!! i can’t fucking imagine losing a parent. take as much time as you need to grieve, and we appreciate you being open and vulnerable. sending love
I hope you and your family are able to navigate this together, I’m sorry for your loss.
thank you for your podcast and main channel vids man they always brighten my day. much love and healing to you and congrats on all the good things you’ve got going for you as well.
we all love you, Kurtis. please take all the time you need and feel what you need to feel. we'll be here for you every step of the way ❤
i’m genuinely sorry for your loss kurtis. i hope you know you can take your time to grieve we’re still gonna be here for you when come back. we’ll support you through all of it. thanks for doing you dude. lots of love bro ❤️
Sorry for your loss Kurtis. Don’t feel bad about being serious and sad, you’re more than just a comedian.
Kurtis I am so sorry for your loss. I recently lost a friend of mine and your videos have always been a pick me up, especially when coping with the loss. you deserve the world, and congratulations on variety!! Thank you for always being a bright light in the darkest situations ❤️
The head scritches at the end 😭💞
Holy shit dude I'm so sorry to hear about your step-dad. Sending you and your family condolences. I hope you let yourself take time off if you need it, everyone would understand. You've mentioned a few times over the years how important he is to you. Like everyone here, I'm always happy to see a new episode, but I'd never want you to feel obligated. If working helps, then I'm all for it, but if it doesn't then please put yourself first. None of us are going anywhere, there's no rush, and we'd rather you be well than anything else.
i’m so so sorry for your loss, kurtis. when i saw your instagram post i audibly gasped, because i remembered how you talked about your step-dad with such admiration and love. continuing to make content and posting is amazing, and you are so strong to keep pushing during such a difficult time. watching you try not to cry and get choked up made me cry. i hope nothing but happiness for you and your family ❤️
dude that voice mail guy is UNBELIEVABLE
Sending love your way Kurtis ❤️ Thanks for the wholesome heart to heart at the end of the episode, it wasn’t a buzzkilll at all. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of the podcast and me and the rest of Kurtistowm will be sending you and your family lots of thoughts, love, and prayers. ❤
Very sorry for your loss, Kurtis. I only found you on RUclips like a couple months ago and can tell how genuine and good you are. Please keep doing what you’re doing, we’ve got your back. Never change!
These voice recordings are unhinged 😂
also, Sabrina's edits to comfort you are the best. Much love, Mayor. Keep being ridonkulous.
i normally dont comment on videos but i recently lost a close family member as well and i can understand a bit of what your going through and i know how difficult it can be so thank your for opening up about it that clearly wasn't easy to do and im crying with you rn. im so sorry for your loss your stepdad sounds like he was an amazing guy and may he rest in peace.
I was speechless too and almost fainted from cringing. Also I am sorry for your loss Kurtis. It must be tough. Be happy you had a great dad like this.
Well that guy was unbearable. He said "bio" SO many times. I got increasingly pissed off every time he said it. And thank you for being vulnerable. Take the space you need. All the big love from your citizens. 🖤
Sorry for your loss kurt, I completely feel for you. I lost my dad last year and even though we didn’t have the best relationship it still very much hurts. Your videos helped cheer me up during that time, so thank you! Please look after yourself. Wishing for all good things to come to you and your family. ❤
Started bawling at the end bro
I am so sorry that you had to go through that, we love you, I am sure you (step)father was a great man and dad🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I’m so sorry for your loss Kurtis ❤ From what you’ve said of him in the past, it sounded like he was a really awesome dude and a great dad. I hope that you are taking care of yourself as best as you can, and leaning on your people for support.
