Listening to two men on a podcast passionately talk about buying their wives jewellery, is one of the most refreshing things. We have heard to much horrible stuff from men with podcasts, thank you Kurtis

[@marieharp8392]

the toronto accent is so strong my lord

[@Ttaylorr.mariee]

Kurtis said elevator pitch and bro told his entire life story

[@sxafedele914]

witnessing someone watch david after dentist for the first time in 2024 is wild

[@SpookhausStudio]

Absolutely no shade intended, but I think it's insane that this man is apparently so incredibly famous and Canada and I have never heard of him or any of his music. Thanks for introducing us!

[@_Astrogirl_]

“Thank you Kurtis “ we all scream in unison

[@kaileyaf9822]

i really wanna know what was cut out after kurtis says "why whats he gonna do to her" about brad pitt 😭

[@kallyawnder]

was not expecting shawn desman to have a heavy toronto man accent

[@chyaa92]

Kurtis fulfilling his CanCon requirements for the month 😅 fr though so excited to see Shawn Desman!

[@mintynoah2133]

idk who this guy is but hes so happy and nice and funny i love him

[@fernfernisfernie]

brother i am begging you to interview carlos from YTV and ask him if the reason he didn't age for like 15+ years is because they never let him leave the studio

[@rosesrosesroses]

Really nice to hear them talking about negative experiences with weed I personally can’t smoke or have edibles cause it gives me crazy anxiety and it sucks nice to know I’m not alone lol

[@darkanddorky7630]

Yess same

[@TheOceanBearer]

I've definitely had those experiences with weed. Full on ego death and psychedelia. Cannabis really can be a psychedelic.

[@jampsonn1826]

Sameeee!! I honestly feel so weird bc everyone else around is so fine on it. 😅

[@crydration]

My scrambled eggs brain thought he said Shawn Mendes

why did he stop putting the episode number in the titles :/

[@orphxn.bxbies]

it's episode 248, guys! (in case you were wondering like me)

[@franz9850]

If you ever have a kid, you should make their first name a last name so instead of having two first names, they have a last name for a first name and a first name for a last name (ex. Johnson Conner or Smith Conner)

[@b.r.v.8609]

Shawn is so cool! This is awesome

[@hollyleigh2000]

This was so fun!! I never listened to Sean before but I really enjoyed watching this & he had good vibes. Thanks Kurt!!

[@MOMMYANDMICHAEL]

Honestly, I do have to say that Sean Desmond literally is the definition of Canadian music. You have your artist like Drake Justin Bieber should I twain day with mainstream worldwide and success. Shawn Desman was mainly known in Canada and he truly did pay the way for literally so many artists. As a seven year-old child, I would sit in front of my YTV the hit list television show every single week and watch Shawn Desman music Shook, get ready, Spread My Wings the place Young, teen to watch your favourite musical artist. Once I turned 18 I finally was able to step foot into the world of pop culture and I met Sean Desmond and he is the sweetest kindest most man in the entire world. I am so grateful for that. He invited Shawn Desman to that OVO show Knew what was up he grew up with let’s be real he knows what’s up. He knows what Canada wants what we need. Nobody is going to Shawn Desman and what he truly represents to the music industry more than a grew up with music. I couldn’t be more happy for him to be back in the scene making music. I now have my five year-old son in the car, begging me, mommy please play heels on the ground and knows every single word. I bought him tickets to his show This coming November mean and greet tickets I have never seen my son idolize someone the way that he looks at Sean Desmond and just gets lost in the music. It is incredible what he does he may not play for 50,000 people, but you know what he plays for those people who have been there through the journey, and are now bringing their kids and generations of people to his shows and are now listening to his music and it’s incredible. I could not tell you more deserving to make to find that passion and to have people show him the love for his craft more than he truly deserves it.

[@Rowan-gt3ik]

yoo no way shawn desman??? i loved hearing his music on chum back in the day!

[@meris7288]

Had no idea who the guy is before this. But I have to say I love his energy in this! Too many celeb interviews they are just moping in the corner, since they're only there because their manager told them to. But He seems to be having a great time and actually wants to have fun and talk to you! I'll check him out for sure

[@Mirandabeech]

He looks giant in that chair

[@brit492]

crazy nostalgic rn omg

[@viensvideos]

wish the eh counter wouldve continued passed 2

He seems like a red flag n idk how no one else is pickin up on this like constantly interrupting kurtis talks abt himself constantly literally said mens mental health is more important than other genders was saying alot of dodgy stuff abt the therapy shit also i understand this one could be considered a reach and i believe hes not a paedophile but the way he was talking abt it gave off everyone's calling men paedophiles for doing anything then followed that up by talking abt drake calling him for a gig?? Idk bro jus dont sit right w me not saying hes a nonce but it feels very victim blamey
