I had Carbon Minoxide in my Dads home in 1994. Parents are divorced and I’d stay with my Dad for the summer. It was the pool heater in the basement. I woke up and felt dizzy and the room was spinning. I called my Mom and told her I didn’t feel well. She said “oh sorry baby I hope you feel better.” Then I said “ I can’t breathe.” That’s when the MOM-meter came into play. She said “hang up Im calling your Father to call 911!”… few minutes later my Dad yells “Jesse get out of the house now!!!!” With all the energy I had I ran out to the front door. Fell onto the grass and started throwing up. I do remember the moment I hit the fresh air it was the greatest feeling ever. I am truly grateful to be alive. 🙌
And you needed to wait for mommy to tell you to save your life even though you called her because you knew something was up???
I bet you vote Republican.
You're clever!!! How's that working out for ya bud? Take a good look at your life and do better. Spread love and peace instead of negativity. You'll be a whole lot happier. Unless you're one of those weirdos that's in love with their sadness.
@@notintohandles ???? WTF??
@@notintohandles Jesus, Greg!!
@@notintohandles carbon monoxide poisoning can effect you cognitive ability’s. So yes you would need help in determining something is wrong.
So devastating that a man with so much joy was robbed of his loving parents.
We all do eventually.
@@gengraded don't try to diminish this tragedy...
Walt Disney's parents died the same way.
@@StreetHierarchy It's not that diminishing.
@@StreetHierarchyat 86? I mean…
My first Weird All show was right after his parents died. He played a hell of a show. We tried to meet him at his bus after but his guitarist said he wasn't meeting anyone due to the tragedy. Massively underrated musicians including Al.
You still tried??
someone had a similar experience. I personally think it's kinda rude...he lost his parents..I doubt he wants to talk to random fans
@Harold Paulle what do you mean? weird al is both..nice and talented
I saw him on tour a few months after his loss. He was a damn trooper and pulled off an amazing show. Bless his heart. What an amazing and good human.
Dang trooper....
He’s such a good soul
What a sweet soul he is.
A gift to the world from above..
Love his openness
Weird Al is one of the most likable people on the planet. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.
Get him, Keanu Reeves, and Tom Hanks in a room together, and puppies would spontaneously materialize from the aether.
@@adamlaceky8127 replace Tom Hanks with someone else. The other 2 do a perfect job of performing their talents and not using their platforms to biasly influence others
Good solid human
@@thepatternofchairs9814Jim Carrey?
I recall reading something Al had said about it at the time,or at least words to that effect,that he said really helped ease his anguish. Neither of his parents had to endure the pain of losing a spouse.
Wow... That's deep.
What a very unselfish perspective on his part.💜
In a way that’s a beautiful tragedy
To have the sheer mental strength to get up on that stage just hours after losing the most important people in his life... wow. That's incredible.
I just gained a ton of respect for Howard. Not once did he make light of Al's situation. He was very respectful and I felt sincere empathy from him. Much respect for that.
Stern is honestly one of the great interviewers
I lost all respect for him when he went insane about COVID. What he does himself I don't care, but having oppressive views about vaccines and such is too much.
Sterns got a lot of mental issues and he likes asking his guests if they do and if they’ve seen a shrink about it.
@@litigioussociety4249 Which version of "insane about covid" are we talking about.
@@TyranBatten he thinks you should get vaccinated for a life threatening illness, how oppressive and evil!!
He’s an angelic human being. You can just tell by listening to him talk.
Weird Al is a treasure. As a comedian, an musician, and a human. I’m thrilled that’s he’s as beloved today as he’s ever been.
He played the show after his parents died in my hometown; I was there. He was excellent, and EVERYBODY in the venue felt it.
Weird Al is one of the greatest people on the planet. I lost the last two of my grandparents on the same day a couple months ago (one from both sides of my parents families) and had tickets to see Weird Al the next night, I was in such a weird head space and that show definitely helped me get through that as I needed SOMETHING to take my mind off of it for a spell and Weird Al did that for me. Happy that us fans were able to do the same for him as that is an even worse thing to go through.
I feel so sorry for Al whenever I hear the story of how his parents died. Sometimes I wish I could give him a hug. 😔💙
Al seems like a guy who would make sure that everyone in is life, family, colleagues, or fans, were happy and loved. It is for this reason that this man should receive the biggest hug in return.
His professionalism is astonishing. It must be awesome being on his crew.
Weird Al and his band have been criminally underrated for his entire career. He is one of the true greats, a damn legend, and it's good to see Howard recognize that. I saw Weird Al in 1997 at the Bloomsburg Fair, and it still rates as the best show I've ever attended. Much respect.
I never knew that. That’s unbelievably sad. Can’t imagine losing both my parents in that way.
Al's a legend. He's always been there for us with his music. I dare anybody to listen to his stuff without at least smiling.
Weird Al is a legend. Absolutely tragic to hear that his parents passed in such a way. The fact he still went on the tour afterwards for the sake of his band, crew, and fans is very admirable. I can't imagine how that must've felt. I hope he's been able to heal as much as one could.
I love weird Al. The innocence and positivity in him, reminds me of what people should strive for.
I did not know he had been through that. Very sad. My heart breaks for him.
Al is one of those genuinely golden human beings.
This might be the most respectful I’ve seen Howard Stern in discussing a personal tragedy.
Omg so sorry Mr AL, YOU have put so many smiles on our faces, you’re BRILLIANT, thank you for EVERYTHING “!!!
I was there at one of his first concerts after his parents passed away in Grand Forks, ND. Al put on a hell of a show.
I was at the same one!
You can see the respect Howard and Al have for each other. Two great careers spanning over the last 40+ years.
When I saw Weird Al at a meet and greet I told him that his music made some really dark days very bright.
UHF still one of my favorite all time comedies.
Al is one of he coolest dudes on the planet. A truly real person in the entertainment industry is so rare. I hope he attains everything he wishes for.
It makes me think about the concert we had on VHS where his parent's introduced him at the beginning as Alfred. So sad.
Weird Al is fantastic and seems so genuine
Al is one of my most favourite humans. I have been a 'fan' since his first hits on the Dr. Demento radio show waaaayyy back when. He is simply so intelligent and kind.
Weird Al is very private. Most of his interviews are about his beginnings. This is the first time I’m seeing him talk about anything serious!
The " Biopic" is sooo brilliant! I laughed through the credits at the end.
Wow that's so sad. He has so much strength 💪 ❤. He seems so sweet and chill.
HUGE Weird AL fan since I was a kid and bought Dare to be Stupid on cassette tape.
Thank you for all the fun and laughter and music, Al!
Al is such a treasure, one of those unique souls that brings so much joy and light into the world. Honored to be a long-time fan.
Weird Al is a class act and is the hardest working act in the business. Really enjoyed his videos throughout the years.
He's a real performer. Still going to perform even though something tragic happened.
*perform
I was at that show at the Washington Pavilion in Sioux Falls, SD. I was 15 and it was my first time seeing Weird Al. I have seen him 4 times since and he is the most dedicated, kindest person. ❤️ Thanks for all the great times, Al! ❤️
I was too. We were so surprised he went on knowing how much pain he must've been in. I've seen him 4 time also. 😄 probably all the same shows. 😉
Love you Al you rock brotha
Just watched the Weird Al movie with Daniel Radcliffe- and it was HILARIOUS- and Weird Al did a great job in his role as well
Al rocks !!!!!!!!!!!
I remember hearing about this when it happened. I love Al so much - I was absolutely gutted for him. I can't even begin to imagine that level of tragedy and pain. :(
Al is one of the best humans alive. class act.
Condolences about your parents. Sorry for your tremendous losses.
Its always the sweetest people who dont get enough praise & recognition bless him❤️
Al showed the definition of stoicism
The idea that anyone could not love Al is unthinkable.
I love you, Al. God bless you!
All more the reason to Love him. What a great example of being a great human being!
That is awesome he helped the audience in times of need and they helped him when he needed them.
carbon monoxide detectors need to be treated as essential as smoke detectors. they’ve saved my bacon at least twice and i won’t stay overnight anywhere that doesn’t have one. lots of love to al ❤
With all his shenanigans and lighthearted talent, Al is so sweet and grounded and down to earth! New respect 😌
I've meet Al twice and he is one of the nicest Celebs you will ever meet, both times were after shows here in Australia, as he will do meet and greats for fans which is so awesome of him. But what happened to his folks is so very sad.
My first real, big-time concert was Weird Al, and it happened to be this tour, and he was every bit as awesome as he always is.
What a national treasure. He needs to be protected accordingly.
A beautiful human
I did not know this about his parents!! So sad indeed 😖
Next to Howard, Weird Al seems pretty damn normal.
Wowww. Huge respect for Al! His parents did such an awesome job raising him.
A true American gem
Always been a fan of Al. Def one of my very first cassette tapes ever
Al is a total class act.
This whole time I assumed it was from a faulty furnace, first I'm hearing it was from a closed flu on a fireplace. Howard you are an incredible interviewer and tactfully approached a sensitive subject here.
It’s so corny that they assume Al is “resisting” cursing it’s pretty clear he just doesn’t find it necessary
Weird Al is a legend
I love Weird Al!
I 100% LOVE Weird Al with every ounce of energy I can muster. He is the best.
Al is so talented but more importantly he's just a wonderful human being. We should all aspire to be as good a human as he is.
He's an amazing person.
I remember listening to Weird Al on the Doctor Demento show on our car radio cruising after church every Sunday night in small town Greenville, Texas in the ‘70’s!
Ahhhhhhh, God love him
It happened in my home town. I hope he still owns the house. It was nice seeing him from time to time in the cafes.
The treasure we’ve never deserved but always needed
He really is.
such a fair & wholesome entertainer, makes me very sorry for the traumatic [way and] massive loss
Dear Lord. I'm so sorry Al. You have my deep condolences.
Al is so great. Down to earth and just understands it all.
What a great person he is. Always "loved" him. He's a TREASURE!!
mentally & emotionally strong Al is, not many people would of handled this like he did.
would *have
Weird al healed himself
Terrific interview. Howard at his best, and Al is obviously an exceptionally candid and interesting person.
Make no mistake; Mr Stern always gets the best dialog from his guests. He knows how to dig into them and get to the tough questions but his skill has vastly improved with age.
One of the nicest performers I’ve ever met
This is why we love him. Well one of the many reasons.
What a great dude.. Ive loved Weird Al since I was a kid
He is a beautiful person and I’m happy I grew up with him as an entertainer.
A friend of mine saw his show recently and said it was pretty great! Highly Recommended it.
😢❤ I love Weird Al
I love Weird Al
Such a kind man
Man, I just love these 2 guys. I wasn't an early fan of Howard, maybe because I was just too young back then and it just feels weird for me to 1990's moments out of context.....I mean, I was a kid back then, and it's quite possible that back then or in retrospect I would have enjoyed his show, but it just seems to me to have changed over the years, but then again we've all changed, including or even starting with Howard Stern himself, but whether you love him or not, one has to admit that he probably is one of the, if not the, best interviewer we currently have. Having him interview such a unique and intelligent artist as Weird Al (some of you may think I'm kidding, but I'm seriously entirely honest here) really is a privilege.
I went out and bought a carbon monoxide detector for my parents after hearing the news that Weird Al's parents passed away from CO poisoning. Let's just say that with a fireplace in their home, it was a wise investment.
What a classy and sensitive guy.
Anyone else notice over the last 30 years these two dudes traded hairstyles?
I don't think I have seen Al so sad.😢
He is an all time musical and comedic great Two amazing artistic disciplines and hes been killing it for what 30 yrs now.
Over 40, actually.
@@shawnuel yep it formally started with his single My Bologna in 1979.
Weird Al is a world treasure!
