I just want to say thank you for all the kind words. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how much I love my son and how proud I am of him. I keep supporting him forever.

ariana what are you doing here

[@GarrettSpring]

Awww ❤️

[@bernierodgers9409]

Kelly, my dtr Cody sent me this. She worked with your son down in Springfield few yrs back. I live near Liberty.I was a single mom to my 2 youngest and connected with most everything. I am also a nurse and my dtr is with a female partner. (I never get the acronyms correct so I stay away from voicing them) If you ever want to have coffee sometime holler at me.😂

She is so fricking funny. Her comedic timing is insane, you suddenly make so much sense next to her. The woman.

She slips it in almost like she isn’t even trying to be funny. Too good

I can tell your mom is the type of nurse I’d spill my entire life to in the nurses station 1 hour into our first shift together 🙌🏻

[@kellyannefitzgerald]

she reminds me of my mom in that sometimes i see in her face she is a little offended by something you said but takes a beat, and uses that as a moment to make you feel bad for hurting her feelings and i just think that's so beautiful

[@john_barton_]

I've been a devoted fan since 2019 but I gotta say, I'm only a third of the way through and this conversation already makes me respect you even more than I did before. Seeing you be your true self with her, the ease with which both of you can joke and be serious in the same breathe, the natural way you can talk to her like a friend without crossing the line. As someone from the south raised Christian but who has become much more worldly and open-minded, hearing your conversation about life and religion is basically what I dream of being able to have with my family some day. This episode was so awesome.

Please make Ms. Kellie a regular guest. I love her

[@dededeedles]

As a single mom with a child I had at 19 and my son just turned 14, this podcast was actually so beautiful to watch. I can only hope my son and I have a relationship like this in the future. 🥰

[@Destructopato]

"Am I sensitive? That's surprising" Proceeds to feel hurt 15 times in the next 30 minutes. Self-awareness queen

[@sooootruepod]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@suttonstrife1271]

When you said not the Christmas when I was ungrateful. This past Christmas I called my grandmother to say thank you for the gifts before I open them and then forgot to call her after and then a few days later she called me ungrateful even though I had said thank you once already. Sent her a Mother's Day card this year that said "Always Grateful." Although it's impossible to humble a 97 year old woman.

[@jessicaperritt2472]

felt this to my core!!! mines 92 😂

[@ShannonStussy]

Your mom is an angel and her laugh and smile are warmth incarnate but most importantly all the homies hate Pam

[@AmberLouster]

I feel your mother’s heartbreak & props to her for helping me realize it’s okay to be upset with my bratty son bc he could still turn out to be a pretty cool dude. So I guess props to Caleb too but not as much cus your mom CARRIED this episode.

[@SaraTonin17]

The way she delivered those bangers with a straight face. 🤣🤣 mom power is tew much.

[@tzacharyn]

It's SOOO clear where you get your sense of self, personality, and humor from. She's great. You're really lucky to have her.

[@nickjonas303]

CALEB HAS A BROTHER?? Also LOVE her, queen of crying honestly like I get it

[@Jacksonf2001]

“Do you have a miller light?” Will she be our president for 2024?

[@Gaby-bx3cv]

“i’m cooked” wow if only i could say this to my parents and they would understand lmao

[@zeetuslupeedus]

My mom also just recently told me that she's sad that she missed a lot of really important moments as well. I feel for your mom. Its tough. And man, I always say a part of adulthood I love even though it can hurt sometimes, is that you really see them as the people they are and not just mom or dad. It makes you reflect and reevaluate so much.

[@Bwahahahablast]

She’s so great. As someone who’s used to being in the hospital a lot I know she’s good at making her patients feel safe and cared for. Those are the nurses the world needs most. May the world be less hellish and full of Miller light for Queen Kellie 🍻

I’m gonna need Mama Hearon to come back at least once every couple months

This is my first exposure to your mom, and I can feel her soul through the screen. She is so sweet and gracious. Also, a baddie. Nothing but love ❤️

I love how she called you out…pop off queen💅🏽💖💕

[@juliamontalvo2934]

the mama's boy tattoo ugh my heart

[@joshuaingram2204]

Caleb, this makes me miss my mom (also Kelly) so much. She was a young mother and we raised each other in many ways. Your relationship reminds me so much of ours, so I’m now in tears as I lost her three years ago to cancer. What a gift you are to each other!

[@HappyGirl-ko3tg]

I am seated, I am sat, I am READY for a podcast with the queen, the myth, the legend herself, Kellie Hearoooon! 🫶🏻

[@tbizz03]

This is hands down my favorite episode. Your guys relationship is most definitely one of a kind. Having your mom as your best friend is truly so beautiful. Im lucky enough to have that same relationship with my mom and i will forever be grateful for that. ❤❤

[@MsNikk5]

I’m going to need your brother on next. I’d also prefer if you started doing this podcast daily and for at least 4 hours.

[@MemeSupreme69]

Thanks for posting this Caleb. My mom passed this year and she and I had a very similar relationship to you and your mom. It makes me feel better to see that love still active in the world.

This woman is an angel. 🥹🥰

My mom was a teen mom and had me at 18 and my sister that 21. This was just like watching our conversations - the heartbreak, the love, the dysfunction. Love you both so much!

[@roseparade_]

I love her so much. What a great person. Please have her on again! Her story and her attitude and faith is so genuinely inspiring to me.

[@hangingupinthehallway]

Caleb! I want you to know you’re are not alone! I’m also 29 and also struggling with relationships when I feel like everything else in my life is going well and I’m doing a lot of work on myself. When you figure out the problem please inform the Calesbians! (Also, thank you for being so vulnerable throughout this ep, I wish more people in the comments were talking about this. Appreciate you!)

[@nat_1991]

Thinking about your mom's nursing graduation ceremony with her fellow graduate's performance of "I hope you DAaaaaaaance" in mind & seeing her in the pod is a gift. P.s. inspired by how amazing your relationship is-I waited until I was 32 to come out to my parents (WOOF) in Missouri so it gives me some hope 🤞 you're both legendary ❤

[@Crunchytacolover69]

Please bring your mom back for another future ep! I absolutely adored you 2 together❤️ such a comforting love with a mother and son❤️

[@mcplestreet]

miss Kellie has mastered the art of a roundabout answer and I really do love her for it

[@ReverendSparkles]

First of all, DFS being called in over the Playstation just about took me out. 😂😂 I adore Miss Kellie! She's got the sass + comedic timing AND she's gorgeous. This was so sweet!Seeing your mother-son relationship really makes me look forward to the adult friendship/relationship I'll have with my teenager in the future. Thanks for sharing your mom with us! ❤

This is beautiful. Truly. What an authentic conversation between two people who genuinely trust one another. ❤😂

[@NicoleHoffman1230]

As a senior calebrity who is also a mom of boys, Kellie wasn't the only one crying within the first few minutes of this episode. I hope I cultivate a relationship like this with my boys as they grow up.

[@FreeCandy979]

I just discovered Caleb a few days ago. He's such a funny human being, and this episode had me both laughing and crying. I love your relationship with your mom; it reminds me of my own mother. She also had children young and would say her biggest downfall and her best attributes were being very caring and selfless. Unfortunately, as her children grew up and didn't need her as much, she felt an emptiness and didn't get a chance to take care of herself. I miss her every day. Thank you for this episode ❤️

[@MeghanGotHacked]

My mom was my best friend and she died when I was 18. This episode made me smile so much. ❤
