Bert Kreischer shares text he meant to send to daughter to rehab their relationship
On Thursday, March 19, comedian Bert Kreischer joined fellow comedian Grace O'Malley on her podcast, 'DisGRACEful.'
During their conversation, the pair discussed Kreischer's more personal role of being a girl dad.
Kreischer and his wife, LeeAnn Kreischer, share two daughters: Ila Kreischer, 18, and Georgia Kreischer, 20.

During their conversation, Kreischer told O'Malley that he and Georgia disconnected when she was about 15 years old, during the pandemic.
'As anyone knows that a little girl and their dad disconnected at a certain age, so Georgia and I disconnect at like 15 during the pandemic,' he explained, adding that right before Georgia went off to college, he knew he had to try to make an effort to mend their relationship.
'We're still having a hard time when she's getting ready to go to college, so we're getting ready to go to look at Boulder. […] And I'm like, 'Yo, I gotta reconnect with my daughter.''
As a result, Kreischer crafted a heartfelt and heartbreaking message that he intended to send to his daughter before their trip to Colorado.
Kreischer read the text he sent to O'Malley.
'Georgia, Mom and I are getting ready to head to Colorado, and I want to tell you that I love you ... more than anything in the world,' he began. 'And whatever I've done to make you angry or mad at me, I would love to try to make it work, and work it out and get past it so we can start having a great relationship again.'
'Let's start this weekend in Colorado,' the dad of two continued. 'We're gonna have a great three day trip, laughing in the car, staying in nice hotels, having room service and seriously, no pressure, just fun.'
'I love you more than anyone will ever love you in this entire world. Dad,' the text ended.
Here's the problem. Kreischer had two Georgia's in his phone. His daughter, and television host and host of the podcast 'My Favorite Murder,' Georgia Hardstark.
'Georgia, my daughter has saved her name in my phone as 'Georgia, my favorite daughter.' Georgia Hardstark, who is saved on my phone as 'Georgia, my favorite murder.''
'I sent that (text) to Georgia Hardstark,' Kreischer admitted as he broke into laughter.
Kreischer revealed that Hardstark ended up replying, offering him sage advice.
'She wrote back, 'Oh my god, I'm reading this crying, thinking it was from my dad, And how sweet this is,'' he revealed.
'I've got to tell you, you have the wrong number,' Hardstark told Kreischer before offering some advice from a daughter who had a rocky relationship with her own father.
'Once, I was a teenage girl who hated her dad, so all I'll say is just be patient.'
Kreischer didn't share an update on his relationship with his daughter today but told O'Malley that he's 'so glad' he has daughters.
