- Exclusive Interview with Karen Kiszka, mother to 3 members of Greta Van Fleet. Our podcast Ladies of The Comedy Series had a special guest sit in today. Find other episodes wherever you stream your favorite podcasts. Karen answers some of the tough questions about raising very creative boys. Three of the band members from Greta Van Fleet are brothers and we got an exclusive interview with their mom. Also learn the connection between Melissa and Karen. It will all make sense why she promotes the band and talks about them inside of her comedy.
The Kiszka's are a perfect example of effective parenting. I knew this before I ever saw this video simply by seeing how the boys are during interviews. And Karen is right, it takes a lot of work, it isn't just luck. I had a coach say to me about my oldest son "great kid, something went right somewhere". I retorted..... "Excuse me........ I put a lot of work into him. Karen, & Kelly your parenting shows. congratulations.
What you said... I couldn't have said it better!
And are highly imaginative, intelligent ,
I think both parents Dna/ genetics from gave them extra genius power in their field , because of the way they speak n express themselves
you don’t even hear that from the parents , they are highly articulate , eloquent in speaking skills !
especially Josh the way they communicate and express themselves so intelligently it’s amazing to me at that age
They were definitely hands on parents
I’m hearing mama Kiska say they had no TV whether that was a choice or not I don’t remember her saying ,but that gives the kids imagination and insight power to dig within themselves
To into more innovative thinking I believe n important things rather than just watching cartoons all day ,
they start to figure out what they can do with their mind and their hands and I noticed that from my first son because I had to go to work with my first son and my mom put TV on for him daily a lot -- versus my second son who I got to spend some time with and did not put on the TV ,and I noticed that he would entertain himself and he’s quite articulate n intelligent now and a lot of it comes from his own imagination and putting his mind to work ! No choice
I think they did a great job , amazing parents and they weren’t strict to the point where like my Italian parents were I think they were afraid of the world and they would not allow me to even have phone calls or friends to come over No fun !
when you’re too strict it is bad to do children! There needs to be a balance ...
you can’t be too lenient but you can’t be too strict ..
She is such a delightful woman. I am so happy for her family! I wish them nothing but the best.
Karen is an example of a good mom , helping her children follow their dreams.
How is heaven John?
what an amazing mother!! no wonder the greta boys are such amazing people
'Grammy Shammies' - Lol; right on Mama Kiszka - my feelings exactly! Not the show it used to be when it was about real music!! Thank you for being an awesome Mom; your boys+Danny have revived my musical soul!
Karen & Kelley, you have raised awesome human beings. You rock!
Such a cool lady...she really gets it.
Thank goodness your boys have a “gift” and you let them follow that. Their music and their genuine love for music and people have turned my world around. By this Oct 2019 I will have seen them live 4 times in 1 year! Momma Kiszka you are a lovely lady. ✌️💙🎼
Karen your amazing. I'm 55 and I lived in Frankenmuth my kids went to school there. A great area to bring your family up. Your boys are amazing also, love their music. You should be so proud of all of them, Danny as well. ❤❤❤❤
Great advice on parenting from the mom. I was a special ed teacher. She is spot on...
Melissa thanks for this interview.I'm Portuguese and I'm fan of Greta Van FLeet. It's the first time I listen the mother Karen and its so true what she said about parenting.
Kisses.
I liked the interview but next time, please let the person being interviewed continue on with their story instead of cutting off!
I agree she's a fun host but when Karen says, next time we will take about you at the end I was thinking more questions
danifuenza1016 Great feedback. Sorry about that. I am new to interviews and will get better. I was so excited to talk to her it got the best of me. I am sorry.
Well their getting peppered during the show instead of before
Thank you so much for this, it reminds me of how supportive my parents are of my choice to study theatre. They've been at every theatre performance they could get to that I was acting in. I have always been a pretty reserved kid, not super outgoing, but when I'm on stage, I feel like I can be anyone. I'm very creative and my parents have always encouraged my creativity, but I was never one to just put myself out there. I didn't stop taking myself so seriously until my junior year of high school and it wasn't because my parents didn't believe in me, it's because I didn't believe in me. Thank you so much for posting this. As someone in the arts it is so encouraging to hear more parents supporting their kids in the arts.
I actually saw gvf perform in KC this past weekend. Throughout the concert Josh said bits like that about uniting and standing together. I can honestly say I felt community there. 🤘🏻
I can see where the boys get their talent from. They have such support from their Mom! Love her and thank you Karen for being such a wonderful parent and letting your boys grow to the men we have today. Moms are everything.
What great insight into the Kiszka boys lives. I love the relaxed exchange between these women.....like they've been friends for years. So glad I happened upon it.
To all the kids who bullied them in school, take that! I bet they wish they were their friends now!
Exactly! I can tell you right now 5,000 screaming fans from last night (myself included) really wish they were friends with them!
such a lovely mother!
Mrs. Momma Kiszka, Mrs. Karen. Thank you and Bless you. You are my people. I'm truly inspired and love the work your kids are doing. Of course elated and proud for the boys and their music/group. Words cannot describe or do justice to how appreciative I am for their work and musical messages. I claimed some hope and peace back in my outlook and actions. Thank you all for being such wonderful and exquisite examples of humanity and kindness..... humility, grace and humor as well. Continued blessings and safe travels. Hope you'll consider writing a book and do so, Karen. Would love to have lunch with you if you ever find yourself in need of a lunch date in the Destin, FL area or Gainesville, FL area.
My biggest dream is to do what those boys are doing and I look up to all of them so much especially jake, being a guitarist in my band, he’s a big role model to me when I first saw them in concert I cried because that’s the moment I realized I wanted to do music forever so thank you to this amazing woman !!
Such a spectacular Mother! She said so many things in this interview that need to be heard more often for our children. I didn’t expect that at all from this interview, but this had to the best interview she has done on this channel. Her children are so impressive and it isn’t just her sons but also Daniel and his family. I have watched several interviews with him and I could listen to him speak forever. What a “village” they all are together. Love them all so much. ❤️
Omg I love Karen omg she is awesome what a awesome mother
Karen described my seven year old identical twins. They are so very smart and witty, yet they struggle with the ABC things. I think too that twins have inherit and unique educational challenges that current public school protocols don’t address. My daughter homeschools to avoid the labels the mainstream educational system wants to slap on them. Fortunately my daughter is relaxed and realizes that each kid learns on their own timeline.
It was nice hearing another mother describe successfully parenting twins that have a different learning style than the “norm”. The encouragement is appreciated.
Enjoyable show. Thank you!!!
we need a part two
Fingers crossed!! Karen said maybe Dad would come too next time ❤
Melissa Hager TV can’t wait!
My parents were so much like this. I think a free spirit of a environment of education in arts gives people alternative careers.I think 4 kids and the job you did and still doing is amazing. Kids need support in any choice they make. I do wish I could ask questions from the viewers. I workout at the gym to GVF music everyone should try that. I admire the kids for one important reason. They have you to encourage the goals. How many kids do there own thing and fall into peer pressure. Good town good parenting. So many questions I want to ask her. It's a goal.
Karen Kiszka Rocks! Thank you for sharing your love with all of us! Hugs!!
Could you imagine having your brother in Greta Van Fleet? Like ,cold you take me here or there or,could you introduce me to so and so? It would be awsome!
Can you imagine how many "friends" would ask you to introduce them to your brothers, though? pheeewwwwwwww.....
Big big big big big big HUG for you MOM........ your just as special as your kids are.... love ya MOM....
What a wonderful MOM.... you raised your kids wonderfully.....
I love Mama Kiszka..its really fun to hear about them as kids also...what a wonderful family!
My son is also bullied by teachers,they can except who he is he has a free mind nobody stands above him everybody is equal
she’s amazing, i couldn’t stop smiling while watching this, congrats 🧡
Now you just need to get the boys on here!😄❤️
What a lovely, delightful woman! So happy for the entire family (+ Danny) :-)
Amazing mom and even more amazing person. Hell ya Karen. I bet there’s a about a billion kids out there who wish they had parents like her
She is real!!!
No cable! No video games! They didn't rot their brains in front of a Play Station. This is what happens when you don't use a screen to raise your kids.
Making our parents proud is very impt some fall short but GVF did it swell❤️
Great interview, Melissa. Best part though was hearing you talk about your family not really wanting someone with your personality in their family. Totally what I experienced.
AWESOME sit down! Melissa, you always seem so at ease with people and are do happy! You're a joy to watch. 🥰
Imagine that, the kids grew up with there real mom and dad. And u wonder why they r good kids. Welcome to the world i grew up n n the 70's. There is allways going to b bullies n school and life. Just keep focused on ur dreams and make it happen. Awsome band and i love ur music. Keep it going.
Very cool mom...and I love the fact that she's wearing a Black Stone Cherry tee shirt.
Melissa I just wish want to let you know that aside from what some people out there are commenting about you i truly think you did an awesome job as an interviewer. I think you brought a lot of fun and spunk to the show. To anyone out there that disagrees must enjoy more of the boring and less uplifting interviews. Also I just want to put out there that Greta Van Fleet " ROCKS "
Thank you!!!! It was so fun to talk to her! She is just dang amazing!! I can see where my loudness got to a few people but I had a hard time even staying in my seat cause I was so excited!! Your comment means a lot. Appreciate you. I am learning and trying to get better
Shes so cute!
Why the lady on the left is talking (and shouting) all the time instead of let Karen speak??? 🤔
She's annoying.
She's excited and energetic and keeps up a good conversation. I like her 👍
Thanks for the feedback. I was excited and my apologies that it was annoying. I love Karen and everything she stands for. I am new to interviewing and will try harder to do better
Melissa Hager TV Thank you for the answer! 😊 The interview is very interesting anyway. 😊
@@melissahagertv1315 I thought you did a decent job, and you might have been a bit loud at times, but I think it was partly because this is new for you, and partly because Karen is your friend and you talked to her like friends talk, rather than interview. I enjoyed it, and I thought everyone was just sitting around relaxed, having a beer & gabbing.
Love this interview ❤️
There great because of there upbringing.... there parents are freakin GREAT.........
Yay! It’s finally out ❤️❤️
I'll never get back the five minutes that I foolishly gave to the beginning of this video.
pro tip: Try editing out the 5 minutes of production setup before uploading to TH-cam.
Brian Jones, I had just assumed everyone knew that. 🤷♂️
Uff... !GVF son lo máximo¡ 🎸👍🏆🎶
About the Beer drinking.. my MOM did the same thing as you did.....
💜Love the BOYS💜 💥EXCELLENT JOB💥
The lady in the middle, texting all the time, please have respect to a person you are interviewing, so unprofessional!
Imagine giving birth to a whole band
I think the message is in the music . So let the music do the talking.
Imagine birthing 3/4 of a rock band.
Now you just gotta get the boys on here
Please! Let Karen speak.
Anyway it was a good interiew. Greetins from Brasil.
You should have troubleshooted it in advance! And stop yammering. Let her talk!
Kathryn Ellicott I am new to interviews and appreciate your feedback. I have nothing but huge respect for Karen and wanted her to be heard. I will do my best to yammer less in the future
Why is she saying Jash instead of Josh?
Florian Honer, it's a local accent from the area of Michigan they're from.
I think I speak for everyone when I say get rid of the other woman that does not contribute anything and stays on her phone the whole time!!!!!!!!!!
Army sounds like BTS.
Jesus bless
PEACELOVEUNITY
This lady can’t stop talkin.
I’m not impressed with the interviewer
Melissa talks more than Karen 🙁
