I delivered my niece on the bathroom floor in 2008. It was not planned, it was me and my sister and my 3yr old nephew at my house, it was almost 100 degrees out that day and my sisters A/C was on the fritz. My sister was in labor for all of 10 minutes, at 10 am her water broke and i called 911 they were on the way and at 10 past my niece was here.
Phew! Almost had me crying there at the end when he was talking about having closure vs having someone die suddenly. I reflect on my last words to my dad often because I was angry at his doctors for rushing him into surgery that left him feeling like shit and I wish I could go back and give him some love instead. I know he knew I was upset bc I loved and cared about him but it wasn't the most ideal "last words," and I wish I could remember it more clearly to know if I actually told him that I loved him that night. Definitely, something that I keep in mind in my life now because you never know if it will be the last chance.
Great episode! I love Kurt's Bananas podcast. I've lost both of my parents, one very slowly, one very quickly. For ME, the slow death (my mom) was worse. It's torture to watch them suffering and knowing they're scared. And I dealt with a lot of anticipatory grief. With my dad, although it was sudden and shocking, the last time I was with him, I had a good time. I have a good last memory.
Love the dew. Crazy, my mom at 19 got pregnant and sent away and gave my sister up for adoption. The father of my sister was Catholic and married. Everybody acted like it never happened. We found my sister though through an agency and keep in touch
Ryan! I love The Keepers! I am not catholic and was born and raised in Florida, but it is my favorite documentary. I have watched it more than a dozen times. #whokilledcathy
Anybody else find it odd that assisted suicide for someone who is terminal is controversial but keeping a pet alive under the same circumstances is considered inhumane?
Didn't expect to get so pulled into this one. Perhaps because my dad died exactly two weeks ago. I was supposed to visit him that day, I hadn't seen him in a few years. But I was woken up that morning to be told don't bother, he died in his sleep a few hours earlier. I think I prefer that way over watching weeks, months, or years of downhill pain and useless expensive treatment that just prolongs suffering. Then again we also weren't very close, not like Kurt and his mom were.
Fuck! I Love This Podcast. What a great work to be responsible for. I'm so grateful to hear and learn from all of the stories. James Brown was 5'4", by the way 😉
i am hearing this months late on spotify but wanted to pop over and comment. i have so many questions i would have interrupted with... does the step-father have children? going through this intense experience alongside one another did not seem to bond/connect the two of you (which has been my experience with cancer death in my family and even feeling close to hospice nurses because they are pain mgmt only so shoot ya straight.) and you had your wife for support so i wish i knew if you did maintain a relationship after moving back to california. have you been able to get past the police calling threat or... thanks for this episode. your mother sounds like someone that grand daughters would idolize and be proud of her accomplishments and strength. great story telling. i could picture all the moments shared.
I also have a brother that was given up for adoption that my family has never disclosed to me. I have no idea how to find him, and honestly I'm not sure if I want to open a can of worms.
This was a really good show! Twist and turns.Dam DAD let her go! Eat the food! Lol funny! That's how I want to go, Have a party,eat some good food. AND PLAY SOME GOOD TUNES., JOURNEY "DON'T STOP BELIEVING " , EAGLES ," TAKE IT EASY"!💜🙏✝️ 🎵🤘 .
If our society didn’t have such a negative, toxic and fear based relationship with death, assisted suicide would be easier to obtain vs a prolonged, painful death with zero quality of life. Let’s prioritize QUALITY over QUANTITY, and stop putting the selfish desires of the living above the wishes of the dying.
Was born in 85’ we saw the beaver IMAX in San Diego and still talk about how that was the best one. I don’t remember the mating scene, but I’ll ask my mom 😂
Here's an idea Kurt, old boy, how about you release your special for free after a month, because I've never heard of you, or your funky ass streaming service, thanks
I can't frickin wait for Sicklers special. Let's go
Every time I have a bad day I just have a little honey dew and everything seems a little brighter

I knew Kurt from his Podcast and love his personality so much. Could listen for hours. ❤

this is what it's all about! i laughed and cried... thank you, Ryan and Kurt for sharing your experiences in all their humanity.
What an insane story. Ryan is one of the best interviewers out there.
One of the best episodes! I kept going back and forth from crying to laughing.
Gonna be honest was not hyped about seeing this guy at first but listening to the first 20 minutes I had to keep listening he has a interesting story!
They way Kurt talks about his mom…I can only hope my kids feel that way! 🥹
This dude ,even if you take away the comedian actor thing, this dudes life is insanely interesting.
We have MAID in Canada. It should be the person's choice to go.
I enjoyed this one. Made me cry :(
I 💯 relate to him. Definitely about the father, mother and stepfather dynamic. I love you Ryan, thanking you for making all of us laugh.
I could not stop watching for a min, great story
Can't wait to see the special taping live next month 🥶🥶🥶
Happy Tuesdee ya'll! Feels like it's already been a long week lol, glad it's a Sickler day 😍🤗
Kurt is adorable and great on Bananas. Seems like a cool guy.
Listening to this one for a second time already. Havnt done a back to back like this since Joey Diaz took a shit on camera. keep up the great work.

This is a great episode. Of course, Prohibition in America ended in 1933, but the speakeasy story is still cool. :-D
Like the electro swing, sounds like Jolie coquine, excited for this ep, heard the Bruno audition story forever ago on pandora
Thank you for this podcast my dad has the exact same thing he was explaining in the beginning....never drank a day in his life..
Hello hello from Des Moines Iowa
I loved him as Kyle the orphan!

There’s some significant control issues here that could be worked out in therapy.

TIL as a 34 year old first born that was born at home, that you should not have your first child at home
*somber discussion about cancer and death*

Aye yo 🤣
THE HONEYDEW YALL
A three hour car ride most people would be exusted and a day trip to. That would sux three hours in a car will make me want to die too.
you don't want to leave your parents basement for more than 3 hours? You should look forward to a car ride.
