[@Seitan-enjoyer]

Quick tip from a fellow Trello enjoyer, if you put a 🎉 or 🎈 into the title of the done list, you get a nice animation when you move stuff to done. To make it even more satisfying 😉

[@makariespe]

NO WAY

[@makariespe]

THANK YOU! You are speaking my love language ❤😂

[@bruceh5933]

As the father whose first born was a beautiful girl that’s growing up way too quickly, I can confidently say I don’t think you’ll ever understand how much joy it brought to him being able to do this with his daughter.

[@Okay123oogabooga]

I recently found your channel and I can safely say you’re now my comfort KZbinr ❤

[@makariespe]

Well thank you :')

[@makariespe]

this makes me so happy

[@sameestosa]

I usually skip the sponsor part when they come up on videos. This ad was actually enjoyable to watch. Thank you for subverting that and thank you for sharing your process for getting things done 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@makariespe]

This makes me so happy! Thank you!! :)

[@jonvickery]

As someone who has a dad that is getting older and I also just had my first little girl. These videos with you and your dad have sent me on a roller coaster of emotions I wasn't prepared for on a Monday morning. Thank you....but seriously, thank you!

[@FeralFeminine]

I’m sooooo happy that you reached out to me and I was able to be part of the process! Congratulations to you and please give Dad (and Mom!) a hug for me!

[@debbiemah6746]

Aweeeee! I hope we have more encounters together, online or in person! All the best on your journey!

[@Rachel-ux9zk]

I am making my way through your videos and instead of bingeing them in a few sittings (because, remember I got here via your no-phone video because I am trying to be more intentional with my media consumption), I am savouring them like the Ice Age squirrel did his long lost nut. So, to find out that there are actual podcast episodes with you and your dad for when I eventually make it to your current uploads, gives me so much hope for the foreseeable future 😁 The perfect win to start off the first Friday of 2025!

[@makariespe]

Hahaha I love this. Thank you for reminding me of the Ice Age squirrel and I hope you enjoy the podcast! :)

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Your energy is so infectious! Always make me smile. Thank you :)

[@makariespe]

Happy to hear it! :)

[@brianmcmanus57]

Your appreciation for you dad is so heart warming. 😊

[@EnglishwithKateryna]

Omg. Each one of your videos just gets better. I didn’t know it was possible 😂 this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Literally cried. 🥲

[@makariespe]

Awe thanks Kateryna!! I really appreciate it 🥲❤

[@WhaChuUpTo]

More Makari and dad CONTENT?! YOU ARE giving the crowd what they want ❤️ can't wait to binge all of Larry's wisdom

[@makariespe]

😂😂😂

[@makariespe]

I hope you enjoy the binge!

[@alexandraudinov9042]

Girl, i watched your 30 day cardio video and i absolutely fell in love with your whole personality. Then i went to check out your channel and i was shocked to see that you aren't actually super famous and dont have like loads of videos. Which is kind of sad for me because i wanted to watch more of your long videos and be infected by your positivity and vibrance. You inspire me so so much. You are literally a breath of fresh air!!

[@kamberleeallison2210]

Never left a comment on a KZbin video in my life, but I have absolutely LOVED your channel. You make me want to try new things, thanks for that 😄 Looking forward to listening to your podcast!

[@ech7831]

you were utterly beaming for half the video, and I love how nice the ad placement was :) definitely a highlight of my day

[@ChehovsYe]

I somehow teared up on how special your relationship is with your parents, i can't wait for the podcast! I was also smiling thorough the video!!

[@TahaRashid97]

Wonderful stuff, keep it up Makari!

[@workingdeadstudio7736]

Still not getting used to seeing my face on screen even if it is my profile pic! I was glad to be able to help you out a little :) Congratulations on creating yet a new project, plus with your dad 🎉 Let's reach those goals now 🦾

[@sm0k1nggnu_]

"Why are you videoing me?" "I'm not." Close call 😅

[@debbiemah6746]

Yes, like that was hard a question in the moment!! I didn't know what to say to that. I didn't want to start laughing and blow the surprise!!

[@makariespe]

Crisis averted 😳

[@zu_1455]

Like number 69

[@AdrianKatrin]

Its so sweet that you reached out to your regulars

[@clarajennison8890]

[@pavelkoleckar3586]

Thank you for sharing your podcast journey! I wish more people made these kinds of genuine videos about their projects. It’s so helpful to see not only the end result, but also the process, making it easier for anyone else to build on the knowledge you gained along the way! :) You put so much into the editing and it pays off, keep up the great work 😊

[@makariespe]

Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it :)

[@emilymowers1109]

This was so incredibly fun to watch! I love that you made a podcast with your dad, I can't wait to listen!

[@mandydjee]

You're simply awesome! Been following your videos for a bit (and you're one of the few channels I'm subscribed to), and I just love what you! I guess what I like the most is how your authenticity, sharing even when something doesn't go according to plan. It's refreshing, and makes you so much more relatable. All that to say, thank you for starting your channel, you're truly inspiring! And now I'm off to check out the podcast!

[@llunahere]

I'm not usually a KZbin fan, but I couldn't stop binge-watching all the beautifully captured and sincerely fun videos ✨ Looking forward to seeing more! Until then, live, laugh, Larry! 😄

[@sillygirl92able]

I love watching all your videos. They're always so inspirational. I usually scroll past recommended videos but your videos have caught my attention and kept it. Thanks for creating videos like these that encourage and inspire you try new things. ❤

[@lucyhedley9644]

i have just discovered this channel and i am obsessed. you have already given me so much motivation to put my phone down, go move my body and enjoy life!

[@ignacio952]

I don't know if I've said this already, but I love you. You have a great sense of humour and mindset

[@vacuumgaze]

You're the second KZbinr I've ever really followed, and I never ever comment on anything, but your content is so inspiring, smart, authentic and joyful ! Thank you for producing such enjoyable moments. I always look forward to them.

[@juliawalters7870]

I loved how you incorporated your skillshare sponsorship into the video. It was so cute getting your dad to read it!

[@Salma-qy3qb]

I adore your relationship with your dad really heartwarming God bless both of you :")

[@lucIuc666]

NEVER STOPP i love ur videos sm it makes me want to be productive soooo much

[@debbiemah6746]

Totally agree! It’s like a positive push to be more motivated! Much needed and much appreciated!

[@Senia-ed3sy]

I loved this video! My dad and I are really close too and I could see how having a podcast with him would be so much fun! I can't wait to tune in to you and Larry on Spotify. :)

[@wildcard716]

Doing this as a surprise for your dad and getting an awesome video out of it makes it all the better. Seeing his reactions were priceless and the sponsor read was the icing on the cake! Now I want to get my old pre-COVID podcast buddies back together... I started getting back into yoga and first came across your channel from a recommendation for your stretching video and I'm so happy I decided to watch it! Your content is heartwarming, informative, and really entertaining! Super cool to see an up-and-coming KZbinr grow and I hope the momentum continues because you totally deserve to blow up! Best of luck from one of your newest subscribers!

[@annadesn665]

Can't wait to listen to your podcast!

[@makariespe]

I love to hear it!! :) Thanks Anna 😍

[@halfsliceoflife]

I love how you are always smiling even when things go wrong. That's the kind of attitude i wanna have. always puts the smile on my face every time i watch your video.

[@Ganpat_Sherawat]

Your infectious laughter with your dad just lights up the day! Stumbled upon your channel and now I'm hooked. Keep spreading the joy!😊

[@winterprei5979]

I don't comment on KZbin very often, but OMG, I really have to tell you that I friggin' LOVE your video's! :-) I'm commenting here, because you're very new on KZbin and I'm scared you might give up, like a lot of people do, so I feel the need to tell you that I love what you're doing, so please don't ever stop making these video's. Last week KZbin recommended one of your video's to me, and I've binged them all after that first one. I love everything about them. The topics, the editing, your personality, your sense of humor, your sidekicks Steph, parents, partner and of course that incredibly cute puppy. I am looking forward to everything you will be making! With love from The Netherlands, Anna

[@larryespe3029]

❤

[@debbiemah6746]

I’m with ya!! Very motivating and inspiring in so many ways!

[@chocryptic6978]

This is awesome ! I hope the podcast keeps going. Your videos never disappoint, its always a few minutes of wholesomeness and good advice. Thank you so much!

[@HayleyS240897]

The only way to make me not skip over a sponsored ad is to get your dad to read a script about it off the cuff xD

[@makariespe]

I love it ❤😂

[@debbiemah6746]

Well played, I’d say!!❤

[@azizulmrasul7607]

[@SuperScaryAri]

Thank you for creating content that always ends up putting me in a better mood 🥺💕 Your personality and storytelling style bring me so much comfort and laughter, and I’m so happy to have discovered your channel and podcast. Sending you and Larry much love

[@biancadasilveira]

Ahhhhh this was so sweet!!!! Love seeing you and your family together, and your wholesome content, and the whole process. Hope I can come up with questions as soon as I listen to the podcast and that it keeps being a thing you 2 enjoy doing. I’m so proud of you! 🥹 Im such a cheerleader for you and it’s weird to admit that I feel like a fan. 😅 Wish I had great skills and could help you in your projects. I’d happily volunteer any time and skills. Well, I’m just a chef. I could cook for you guys 😂 ANYWAYS, much love! 🫶🏼

[@kirthanakavassery]

You’ve become my favorite KZbinr in 3days. You’re so amazing!! 😀💗

[@bchurchill49]

Exciting. This is so much a thing your Dad would love.

[@hana12n]

You are so talented, and this was another funny and inspiring video. They truly bring me a lot of joy! I cannot wait to listen to you and your dads podcast 🥰

[@benjaminyodog9968]

I can't wait I love podcasts like this!

[@Colton.Adamczyk14]

Just found your channel in the last couple of days and your channel is so refreshing! Definitely need more people like you on these silly websites. Keep up all the great work 🎉

[@jimmythepagina7989]

this is so wholesome and inspiring and moving oh my god i'm crying 😭😭😭

[@debbiemah6746]

Fantastic idea! Love how your brain (and heart) works...and that you document and share your journey for us! So motivating in every possible way! GOOOO TEAMMMM!

[@bvdv47]

Makari, you can't believe how motivating this video is, thank you!

[@juanbreetzke]

Omw this was the most wholesome video! I’m so damn happy I found your channel! Keep up the amazing content Love from South Africa I now am immediately going to find the podcast! Where do we submit questions btw? I doubt you’ll read this but it’s worth a try

[@karagraves6012]

I only discovered your channel a week ago and I’m not usually a big commenter, but I love your videos and I love that you did this for your dad. I love and appreciate how *real* you are in all of your videos. Also, I’ve been noodling over a podcast idea as well, and this video has been a HUGE HELP in getting me past the idea stage. So thank you for that.

[@a12i9]

as always I like everything about this video! I send you some love❤

[@zencorner94]

Hello Makari.. i recently came across your youtube channel and I have to tell you that you are just amazing. I love your energy. I have never commented on any youtube channel - too shy for that😅😅 but you are just amazing. I just wanted to tell you that💕💕

[@makariespe]

Hey Zencorner - thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it :')

[@laurasPlants]

Another great episode! Going to go listen to the podcast now!

[@williaminenglish]

your videos are amazing!! I'm really happy right now!!

[@BairdBanko]

Thank you for focusing on good audio quality! So many podcasts I cannot listen to just because the audio is not very good. Keep up the good work!

[@Alekaie]

Can I just say a huge thank you to you! The first video I saw of yours was the Queer Eye glow-up and it made me put down the ice cream and Netflix binging and actually start changing things I have been meaning to get to. Your workout vids and the budgeting vid are so great, and this one is especially great. You're like the friend I need to say, hey stop talking about it and actually do it, and here's how you can try! Opening up a Trello board and putting in the very real goal posts to get through a task make it seem daunting in some ways but also bring me down to earth with the reality of tangible efforts I need to make to realise ideas. Thank you so much for this video. You may not see it but you are giving a lot of us small workable habits that we can implement and actually move ourselves forward in health ways. And I love your very cheeky smile because we all know the tasks are tough and we gotta do them, but you show how good it feels to actually put the work in. Anyway sorry for the wall of text, kthnksbai xx

[@MeghFitzpatrick]

This is so amazing! I'm so excited to see this come to fruition. I will definitely be subscribing to your podcast and I sincerely hope to submit a question for it as well! I'm so happy you got to put together this surprise for your dad and it is so cute that you gave up your bed to do so.

[@debbiemah6746]

I’m hoping the room stays as a podcast room!❤🎉

[@debbiemah6746]

Oops that may sound like we don’t want her sleeping here but quite the opposite! Love hearing the laughter come out of the ‘podcast room!’

[@rach2217]

I knew I might tear up when you actually surprised your dad but man did I cry 😂😭 you have such a beautiful relationship

[@4piluchi]

Love your energy and the relationship with your dad ❤

[@asiaevangelista3742]

[@kateholiak_ua]

For once I'm super grateful for KZbin recommendations algorithms as it got me here :D So, Mak, I've been binge watching your videos these past couple of hours and I'd probably stay a silent viewer, as always, but since you mentioned that you're actually reading all your comments, I wanted to say thanks, girl! Thank you for being this breath of fresh air and reminding us of how it's important to stay humble and human with such a normal haha positive attitude! Say hi to your dad! Congrats on the podcast and yes I'm going to binge watch listen to it now and I'm not even mad at myself for it. Also, trello (and asana) are my faves, they actually need to sponsor you 🤗

[@laura-lby90]

Your videos make me smile the whole way through and this one especially. I love your video style, how authentic you are and you seem really happy to be sharing your ideas. Your content is super engaging, really funny and the relationship you have with your parents is what I dream of having with my daughter when she’s older. ☺️
