The James Chapeskie videos is maybe my favorite Kurtis video of all time. It was so refreshing to see a project full of so much palpable passion, and it was humanizing in a way we rarely see on the internet. With someone that Kurtis conner could easily make fun of, he saw something new and creative and chose to learn more about it, take us through that process, and raise up a small creator to his huge audience. That one really got to me.

Iā€™m new here (Broski Nation brought me here). These guys are so good at asking questions that are clearly planned in advance in such a way that they seamlessly blend into conversation. True professionals and experts at their craft. Much respect.

You know this guy is good when a casual interview basically becomes its own stand-up show šŸ˜‚ Canā€™t believe Iā€™d never heard of him before, what a beast.

"There is no ability anymore to practice in private when you become a creator at that scale whether it's comedy or your craft" Dang! Kurtis dropped some real wisdom there. The whole episode was awesome, guys! Super laid-back with a perfect mix of comedy and insights! šŸ”„

as a girl who watches kurtis i can confirm that his channel has become sort of a safe space. whenever i need a pick me up i can just put on any video and have a good time without hearing weird jokes at the expense of women.

I like how Kurtis is the only one without a soda, as if heā€™s not allowed to have one

Colin and Samir seem so relaxed this episode. Kurtis is a great guest perfect balance of conversation, bits, and insight.

I'm a Kurtis fan and only just recently realized he was also a stand up comedian. I went to a show he was advertising and it was just.. a standup set with other comedians. And I had a blast. I was like WHAT?! Lmao. I'm gonna get a ticket to his standup show digital thing this Friday.

my fave kurtis conner moment is when he had a psychic on his podcast, and went in being skeptical only to end up in tears during their conversation. usually i'm laughing my ass of listening to very really good podcast, but that was such a touching moment!

Having someone else edit Kurtis's videos would be like him hiring someone else to write his jokes. I can understand why he wouldn't do it considering how much the editing is a part of the experience.

Only 15 minutes into the interview and I've been smiling throughout. Brilliant!

kurtis is genuinely one of the funniest but also the most respectful youtuber of this gen. he doesnā€™t poke fun at a community without putting in the effort to understand them and see their pov, and itā€™s so refreshing. i listen to his podcast vrg while i do hw or even while iā€™m driving solely bc heā€™s so comforting and hilarious at the same time :ā€™)
