Happy pride month. I'm sorry that happened to you. It sucks losing people who are supposed to love you unconditionally. I wish you the best. Also hi, from a fellow lesbian

@@Liviosaur. do you understand the institutionalized homophobia in many American Christian churches and communities? Of course, believing in God does not equal homophobia. And yes, there are some progressive and inclusive sects. However, the sentiment "not all churches" sidesteps the immense pain and harm the bad ones inflict.

@@kw5462 honestly tho, cause churches love to shame people for sexuality and sex in general. even straight people, albeit not as bad as gay/trans ppl get it. but in general the whole ideas towards sex and gender and sexuality do more harm to people than good and just make people more confused about themselves for having normal feelings

i’m a queer teen with homophobic parents and this comment is very helpful

thank you so much for posting this comment, I’ve had extreme difficulty balancing my queerness and living with loving but very problematic parents. I’ve often sworn I will never marry because it’ll disappoint them, but after hearing what you had to say, I have some hope now

His content isn’t great It’s very really good

IKRRR

Obviously man they just pint a bunch of shit out and that's one of them

its also like just kinda icky to display such a strong response over someone deciding what to do with their face or their body. Idk if this makes senseeee or if Im explaining myself correctly, but it makes me kindaa uncomfy when people center their own feelings rather than like the bodily autonomy of the person when someone decides that they want to change something about their appearance, I dont know if Im making sense and Im sure most of it is in good fun, but still....

no! no mustache=no funny 😡

His skin is just to amazing to hide behind any hair lol

Right he looks great either way

yeah literally it’s so clear and glowing :0

right, he needs to drop the skincare routine lol

Silly you, his skin is not clear and healthy It is very really good

yeah what the fuck hahahah

@@veryreallygood you look great either way Kurt!

RIGHT LMAO

He has to get only half a mustache(like on half his upper lip) to truly appease everyone

@@thatrantinggirl7376 only on the right side

(respectfully)

Right?

exactly lol

We aren't lying to ourselves, we're literally all simping for him 💀

lmao I’ve always been very honest to myself about how attractive he is

We need him to do it

@@dtown_demon yes and there’s one abt danny and drew and tiny meat gang called “greg the tiny meat stinker” lmao

this is amazing 💀💀

Bro this on stream would bang

I can't find it what channel is it on?

that’s true

Real one here, I just time traveled from 2026

omg like pewdiepies brofist or whatever it was called

damn dont hurt me like this

aw wait that’s adorable

if anyone reading this hasnt watched kurts streams or didnt know he streams u should look him up on twitch

aw that's... very really good

i can already tell 10% of the comments will be "only the true OGs remember the extra greetings"

@@anyrija. "last time i was this early, the extra greeting was still a thing"

it's very sudden :((

What show is your profile pic from

@@alexismcmahan6521 Oh yeah a movie called Austin Powers sorry I didn't get the notif for some reason

Being a bud tender is supposed to be the person that tends to the buds before they get to the store

@@stargazer7358 makes sense, but that’s not what they’re called in the industry lol. Those people are called “quality control”, “growers”, and “trimmers.”

yep, this 100%. I've heard of plans in the US to ensure that 50% of weed dispensaries in a state are worker co-ops (it's Wisconsin iirc?) which is absolutely the way to go to ensure that the beenfits are equitably distributed. The fact that middle class suburbanites, overwhelmingly white, are benefitting from the new legislation after decades of war against low income communities, which still don't have reparations for that, is disgusting

@@rp1455 YOOOO worker co-ops would be soooo dope in America

I agree. Also the amount of profit is insane. In Washington state I've rubbed elbows with some insiders and the behind the scenes is... interesting. $250K+ per month in storefront sales; clandestinely selling legit inventory on the black market...

my exact thoughts???

✨sarcasm✨

Ironically, pretty sure faking a disorder for attention is its own disorder

I mean he was being completely sarcastic… that’s how his channel is. It gets kind of annoying at times but ya he’s sarcastic literally 100% of the time.

Adding to this, don’t listen to people who say “blood is thicker than water,” because one of the origins of that phrase can be translated to “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb” which means “found fam > bio fam.” Sending love to the question asker!

I have the exact same problem as the person who asked for advice :( I agree that it helps if you have queer and ally friends and a back up plan if you’re threatened to get kicked out like I was. From my experience, over time he’ll realize it’s not his life and get over it (or at least act like he’s over it) you can try to educate them but also you don’t have to be everyone’s teacher. Also I remember feeling bad about my religious immigrant parents providing for their kids and feeling like I “betrayed” them when they’ve done so much for me, but then I realized it is their job to provide for their kids and our education and all because they are the parents. We shouldn’t feel bad that they provide for us because that’s what they should be doing and agreed to do when they had kids and you being yourself is in no way a “betrayal” or a “disappointment” and you should be loved for who you are Also for me, one big reason we just mutually don’t bring it up (even though I have a tiny pride flag in my room) is that I wanna be a dentist so they think I’m their only hope of getting out of poverty, so they stopped calling me slurs like they did when I was first forced to come out. For me they just put that huge part of my life aside and focused on how aside from being lesbian, everything else is ok with me. So you can try to remind them of all the good things you do for them for example, if you have good grades or a good job or help around the home just remind them of that. My mom likes makeover shows so I made her watch those queer eye episodes where they give makeovers to queer people so she sees that we’re normal people who deserve respect and safety, I feel like it helped. I also wanna get married some day but I just figured that if they’re not ok with it by the time I’m engaged, they just won’t be invited and will miss out on such an important moment in their child’s life. I truly hope it gets better and hope my advice helps ❤️ there are lots of resources like the Trevor project if you feel unsafe in your country or home. Remember that so many people support you and love you and want to see you happy and hopefully married someday!

Off topic but omg ur so pretty u look like sabrina the teenage witch

I know I was surprised he got such a huge sponsor

they sponsor a lot of comedy podcasts though, right? TMG is frequently sponsored by bud. like, its not surprising with the numbers kurtis does.

He looks... younger, like a teenager or smth

He just looks younger imo🤨🤨

It goes well with his wild hair (Not that the wild is bad)

it’s crazy bc i don’t even see a difference.😭 like i watch every episode but when he announced that the mustache was gone i was like “what mustache” fudjebws

it's just ron swanson all over again 💀

Nah I'm pretty sure it was the f word that's the most offensive word he's said..

He suggested to the n word and had his like stage voice lady say it.

@@photohey9856 in his defense the joke was that that wasnt an okay thing to say but it probs wasnt great to say it in the first place

Yeah and he's been an ally for a long time. I listened to a podcast where he said that a lot of people assumed he was gay and how he has no problem with it, in words words words in one of his songs he criticized the Catholic Church and its homophobia. He wouldn't say it now but when he said it then it was never an attack towards someone else

@@helloitsme8575 kinda like kurtis

sometimes its better to move on and remember things fondly; than to keep it going until everyone's sick of it.

@@idklmao8214 sucks to suck ig

@@idklmao8214 well his other channel has more puns and is more funny then the podcast so if you haven’t maybe you could check it out

Why am I genuinely sad about it

Not gonna lie that chuckle has always been one of my favorite things about him. I fuckin diiiiied when his ai-generated video included his laugh a thousand times

@@hopobilbow1551 do u have the time stamp for when he does that in the video?

@@addie8080 do you mean his ai-generated video? If so, it’s on his main and titled “The Frightening World of AI-Generated Content” and he basically starts explaining the process ~ 27 mins and then the generated video starts ~28 mins. Now since I looked that up for you go watch it and spread the gospel cause it’s h i l a r i o u s If you mean the time stamp for his chuckle just pick a video and wait a few seconds 🙌

yessss

i agree. it’s not the best idea because then when he does flub some advice (or just doesn’t have any to give), ppl will attack him for it when he wasn’t the guy to ask in the first place. i’m a bisexual black sex worker - i wouldn’t ever dream of asking kurtis for advice pertaining to my own life lol. he’s great just not the right guy.

i think its comforting for them getting at least sympathy and support from their favorite cishet dude lol. he doesnt really get the issues, said with love lmao, but even the kind words from kurt boy could lift their mood i guess

Hi, I’m the one who wrote in and I know I can find other creators but I really wanted to hear his opinion on this. It’s helpful to me and that’s what matters.

@@pluto5123 that totally makes sense and isn’t something I even considered bc as a closeted person I sneakily had access to lgbtq+ stuff that I just didn’t share with family so I assumed a similar experience. thank you for explaining where you’re coming from and I totally get your choice to ask kurtis now. I hope some of the comments on this video help you out. (their original comment explained that they don’t have access to openly lgbtq+ creators bc of conservative family so this is the outlet they used)

“gays, get out of here!🤬”

And the extra greeting gang would end up gatekeeping Kurtis for the new ones 💀

@@alliewhitney6437 LMAO i can’t wait for this

Remember the Kurtis Conner song intro era

@@derekkim593 no, i thought I was old BC I was during the extra greeting era

@@derekkim593 a real og i pay my respects

jail and/or long term federal prison 🙃

And be disproportionately punished based on race. America is so sick. Like. Diseased.

It's weird being in an illegal state and realizing there are places in the same country where I could be smoking without the fear of getting caught 😭

@@Luckytrapt wait till you find out what other countries do to people of color

Yeah my partner has a felony conviction for having weed but he now lives in a legal state and it's super bullshit. Like he still has to pay all his probation fines and cant casually drink or smoke because of it

i feel the same way ! idk how to explain it but the way he was using it felt like he was on our side (queer ppl). im glad he doesnt use it any more but hes had some pretty interesting discussions about it before on a podcast with a comedian i forget the name of. ultimately its a very nuanced and complicated discussion and everyone feels different about it but im happy to afford him the space to learn in that sense, since he was only using it as it was used against himself. i do think he has spoken pretty honestly about it

I agree, I feel like his use of it was always to satirize homophobic assholes, he never really used it in a derogatory way towards us. Also his song problematic in his new special is sort of comedic but I think parts are serious, such as the parts where he is asking to be held accountable and he is saying he regrets his past. But just because I forgive him doesn’t mean other queer people have to! Also I just want to point out that in the early to mid 2010s, the f slur was extremely normalized to the point where people didn’t even treat it like a slur, just as an insult

wait when did kurtis talk about bo

@@stellaluna7 yeeeeessss this! Like remember when they had to run whole PSAs to teach everyone why it was problematic to use gay as an insult? Idk I wasn’t really one to join in this stuff but I grew up with it and so I understand when people did and I’ve decided to hold more grace for those who grew out of it.

It's not okay that he used it, but when I was a kid watching his stuff I really appreciated that he wasn't making me the butt of the joke as a queer person. I thought the apology he made in his special was really sincere and thoughtful, but everyone has their own relationship with the word, so it's really a personal decision based on what makes you comfortable.

I 100% agree with this

My thoughts exactly. It’s totally fine if he hated doing it, but I wish I understood why.

@@CaptainEffort I dunno, he probably just got tired of it. It's a pretty long intro

tender hardly know her dude

Two top-tier comments right here 🤣

Okay I just started watching the video, but I saw the title and I’m like… I bet he’s going to talk about the Air Bud films and one of the dogs becomes a bartender… Air Budtender… someone needs to tell me if I’m right!

They definitely could hear the difference

Ok that made me laugh irl

I’ve gotten so used to the mustache Kurtis now looks 12 years old

At first I read that as shirtless and oh boy I was confused

yeah his name is danny

Cancel culture is not healthy for the exact reasons you mention.

that too!!!

SERIOUSLY

YES big yikes. also WA and OR have bikini baristas, like as a lesbian and feminist I’m cool with that in theory but it also feels like exploitation and probably discrimination as well

oh no this is giving me 'my three weed smoking girlfriends' flashbacks 💀💀

my god this sounds so oregon

And I imagine they mean "pretty white women" too since Oregon is both super liberal and blatantly racist at the exact same time

This is the correct response

right it made me smile so much even tho he said he didnt watch the show lmao

this is a really good comment. I know it wasn't for me, but these kinds of comments always make my own feelings abt my parents feel validated. thank you

especially after the countless times kurtis has literally said he does not like it when people comment on his appearance like that..like cmon guys its getting a little ridiculous :/

This

agreed, and i think the most important thing is that his actually actions reflect how much he’s grown

Oh he does low key go off but it's generally to rascists/homophobic/misogynists...and it's still fairly chill XD

PLEASE I THOGHT IT SAID MISERY 😭😭😭😭

I’m jealous tbh

finally seeing someone say this

surely he should apologise directly at least once though, thats what i think at least

@@martindebuer The way you’ve phrased this you believe he owes you, or the advice person, an apology. I will simply challenge that thinking with a further explanation of the parasocial relationship. If someone cut you off in traffic, it’s rude, it’s dangerous, and one could argue they owe an apology. But it would be much weirder if they followed you off the freeway to apologize to you than simply not do it again. Why? Well they are a stranger, and really their apology doesn’t MEAN anything because you don’t know them. When a public figure apologizes on the internet what happens? Everyone with an opinion plays mock trial. We have to decide if they are still guilty, even in some cases if they were ever guilty, if they ‘really meant it’, calling in forensic experts of non scientific fields to try and analyze body language, bring up information of past behavior good and bad that really isn’t relevant to the apology itself, but to feign if they are ‘really’ a good person or not. And why? Because we don’t KNOW them. And their apologies are just words that don’t really mean anything. Some people will forgive them without even actually reading/watching, and some people never will. We are part of a culture that uses celebrities as part of our performative virtue signalling. To say look at these poor actions I would never do such a thing. Bo has never thought about you, or me, or the advice person. He has no idea we exist. The apology is never really for the people, it’s for their career or the image of their moral standing. Because regardless of intention no one wants to be seen as a bad guy. So. Would it be nice if he had something really thoughtful to say that using the F slur is awful and he knows that it hurts people, sure. I’m sure there are some who would feel better about it. But ‘talk is cheap’ and the apology itself is just another performance from some stranger. He doesn’t *owe* anything to the faceless audience. And wanting one is the result of feeling like you have a bond you don’t really have, a parasocial relationship. And I can’t say if that’s bad or good, it’s part of our culture. But it does hold strangers to this weird high standard of being human that drives all kinds of people away from the internet.

4. pour one out for the extra greeting

no child I’ve seen looks like this

I thought this was an old podcast he looks so different 😿
