24:09 best quote from this show: Im having a great time staying alive truly but Im not addicted to staying around 🤌🏽🤌🏽 put that on a tshirt!! New merch idea 💡
As a women who grew up in a VERY open household , I have also had many conversations with parents that others are like "😱 YOU TALK TO YOUR DAD ABOUT THAT?!" ,, I'm raising my kids to be the same so they know they can ALWAYS talk to me about anything and I'd be there for them and know that it's real shit when they're with me
@@taylifts Brooooo since this comment thread was posted I've watched like 20 Caleb videos and not only have I fallen in LOVE with him, but I've also discovered so many great people from his guests n fellow comedians
Same! I just discovered So True and it's right up my alley. I saw the episode with Brittany Broski first, but I've been following Gianmarco for a while anyway, and I truly love Caleb's confident and self-respecting attitude. Something I aspire to.
Caleb, you’re describing PDA. “Professionals” call it Pathological Demand Avoidance, but people with PDA often prefer alternatives like Persistent Drive for Autonomy
THANK YOU I have this hardcore. Like literally even me wanting to do something in my own brain with NO input makes me not want to do whatever it is because I want to do it which makes me feel like I HAVE to do it so I dont want to do it so I won't do it because I feel like I dont want to do it because I want to do it.
@@PenelopeAstony yeah, I have a few things where I’m like that a bit, but my partner very much has PDA like you describe. It sounds like a tiring way to conserve energy.
@@stephenie44 OMG you POET "a tiring way to conserve energy" TOTALLY. that, and preserving as much autonomy as possible, even when I feel like I myself am the one demanding or expecting me to do something. It's pretty unsustainable, and leads to a lot of executive disfunction. Mine has improved somewhat by having lots of therapy for my OCD and trauma and managing my neurodivergence as well, so there is a path forward, it's just hard to find the right treatment sometimes/have access to it at all. I hope your partner finds a recovery or reflection style that helps them out of the PDA spiral!
24:55 "Gianmarco Im not doing this with you, youre wrong" 😂😂 The whole umbrella of interesting deaths bit was amazing. Its a squares and rectangles! Love seeing Caleb on the pod! This was a fun mix of genuine and just bonkers moments ❤
I like that both of you said something about the genocide Israel is carrying out in gaza. Neither of your comedy is strictly geared towards politics (from what I've seen) but it helps to know that you're a person and not just a curated persona of funny guys who are "not educated enough to comment".
Great guest, funny episode. Caleb's always great 😃 It's always a fun time when everyone in the studio is having fun and laughing 😊 When are we gonna get Gianmarco's mom and Russell's mom on The Downside?
I felt so seen during that conversation about hating games.. I was an artsy kid, I have quite literally always hated games. They’re excruciating. In school I’d always ask if we were required to participate, it 100% of the time felt like a waste of time that gave me anxiety. I do enjoy puzzles and some word games but it is about challenging myself, not competing with other people. I also find it extremely burdensome having forced structure during time that is supposed to be fun and relaxing. Though in fairness, I am not very social in general so none of it is really for me.
Who doesn’t f**king love Caleb Hearon?? You guys should get on Caleb’s podcast! EDIT: oh, I guess I had to wait til the VERY end to find out that you will be… lol
I got an email that said “I have less than 5 hours to raise $32,843!” And I was like bitch I would love to have that confidence, maybe plan ahead next time?
I'm with gianmarco that a game night is the best reason for a party because it gives some structure to the interactions, but i loved hearing russell and caleb's protestations against fun 😂😂
Totally got it wrong and had to look up what "pummel" means in english. Turns out something very, very different then in german🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Okay, I can go on... "PUMMEL-Einhorn" 😂😊
@@GianmarcoSoresi okay, I pause full episode, again missunderstood something 😆.. A "Pummel" or a "pummelige" person is in a lovely way said a bit fat person, but meant sweet. So there was created a story around the charakter of "Pummeleinhorn" (Einhorn = unicorn) when unicorns got popular some years ago, there are a lot of plushies, and other merch stuff with it in pink-white-horrible, but then I heard what it is about and the adventures of "Pummeleinhorn" indeed are funny and clever. It is "pummelig" but a very sweet unique character who gives a shit on rules. Maybe has ADHD, too. And imagining "pummelig" and Joe Biden I knew I had to look up. That didn't sound like there is happening something nice🤭 Oh, and I am really "pummelig" to say it in a very generous way😉 No fat-shaming here!
Random comment If you want any bud at any point while you're in Australia, remember it's only medically legal here! But everyone is very happy to share and help out ;) See you in Brisbane!
they’re not always bots, one time i sent them a photo of sonic the hedgehog in the shower or something and they responded with something like “ill be taking you off the mailing list immediately” 😭😭😋
LOVED this episode. Love Caleb’s candid and hilarious takes. I hope you’ll find that right person to raise some very lucky kids with, Caleb, especially with the wonderful grandma that your strong and kind mama will be. Re your concerns about having kids when demand feels oppressive - (of course ignore this if it comes across rude or irrelevant…) perhaps check out content about Autistic people with a PDA profile (PDA = Pathological Demand Avoidance), coz what you described, and I appreciate it’s only a tiny snippet on a podcast so lacks nuanced context, reminds me of myself and what I know about PDA Autism (which I have/am). There’s a shit ton of content about PDA that’s very pathologising and shaming, so ignore the f out of those, but there are some by Autistic content creators who have a PDA profile that really helps to understand what it is and how we work around it. I honestly think that we are just far more honest people - honest with ourselves and honest with others. I think everyone experiences discomfort when they get given expectations and demand, but PDA’ers get a very strong reaction compared to others, including when the expectations and demands are created by US. That’s the cut off in terms of who is considered to have PDA and who doesn’t - it’s when that discomfort and our avoidance of demand via all sorts of coping strategies including procrastination, using rationales etc etc, applies even to things that WE want to do. It really sucks. I have two very young kids and it’s a very real problem. But it’s one that we can totally get around by using all sorts of healthier coping strategies like reframing expectations, getting support from others, setting realistic expectations with other people (and it sounds like you are already good at being honest when it matters), practicing more self compassion esp when it comes to comparing what we can do against what other people’s achievements. It’s totally doable, and like ALL families - there will be loads of really tough moments mixed with the amazing ones. If having kids is what your heart desires, then it’s definitely achievable and can be made just slightly easier perhaps by getting to know yourself better before embarking on the journey. Obviously finding someone who is truly compassionate, inclusive and willing to learn and grow with you is super helpful too. I hope to one day create content on this topic one day since there’s very little out there about it, to balance out the “these people are just stubborn and doesn’t play well with others and we pity anyone that finds themselves caught in a relationship with them” type messages. Oh and pda.org.uk provides a ton of really informative and inclusive material about it. Good luck!
I watched miss congeniality last night lmao. I love your guys real ass conversations I. This it really had me thinking about my own life the whole time
36:19 Oof, Caleb is wrong on this one! I’m almost _certain_ there are enough of us thirsty queens watching who would love to have a personal Gianmarco toy! 😇🙃🥰
@@zacharycallaghan7016 He didn’t seem as into the idea as Gianmarco was but sure! Haha, Gianmarco seemed like he was _ready_ to put it all out there, and I will not complain if it ever happens. :)
Okay, second I got wrong (in the short): US-people, please explain me the double-meaning of "flashlight". I assume it is not the one You use to see in the dark when camping😅 But I don't get what kind of "toy" is meant here.
I'm wondering if any of them have played the more complex games like Settlers of Catan, Dominion, 7 Wonders, Root, etc. etc. just because they tend to be more *about the game itself* rather than about socializing (although that is included), and also one tends to have smaller groups of people playing them who tend to like each other (in my experience).
it's great that you finally had a straight guy in room for the podcast
“‘I hope there’s not an active shooter in this grocery store’ and then I get active shot” 😭😭😭
As opposed to inactively shot, the other type.
Russell and Gianmarco would make a beautiful gay couple. The tiny couch gives us an idea of what they would look like as an affectionate couple.
First time watcher and that’s exactly what I thought they were lmao
Wait they're not a couple...😂😂😂😂
What about this reads affectionate for you
Babe wake up Caleb’s on the downside again!
I literally JUMPED at this episode cause I love Caleb
these are the only men i actually wanna listen to😭

Only just started watching, but Gianmarco that is the gayest fit I've ever seen you wear! Love it! 😉
He knows how damn hot he is
had me looking for a "Personal Life" section on his Wikipedia page to see if I missed something
that Gianmarco can still be shocked by people thinking he acts queer is hilarious
This is was my first impression of him and I was fully convinced he was gay the whole time
"coming here was a nightmare" russell: "yeah" hahahhaha

Please have this guy on for a fourth time he’s so funny
Trashing board game night and then inviting them to a party where you watch other people play a game is insane lol
The story from 1:05:57 onwards (and Caleb's contribution) is *paralysingly* funny, JABBAAAA!
Great guest, funny episode. Caleb's always great 😃 It's always a fun time when everyone in the studio is having fun and laughing 😊
When are we gonna get Gianmarco's mom and Russell's mom on The Downside?
Caleb’s sisters being so supportive and trying to make coming out for him easier is so sweet😭
I love seeing Caleb on the show! Excited to watch
This is the charmed episode I’ve been waiting for.
yay!! he's back!!! love y'all together!

I was really in a bad place today, but this is helping thanks
Sorry to be a basic gay but Gianmarco is such an eye candy

OH NY GOD YAYYYYYYYYYY I WAS LITERALLY BEGGING FOR THIS IN CALEBS COMMENTS LIKE A WEEK AGO
Totally got it wrong and had to look up what "pummel" means in english.
