    I rewatch these episodes literally all the time and I just want to point out how soft & kind Caleb's voice is when he says "for sure" before re-explaining the question segment to Adam. I have autism, not ADHD, but it just added another layer of why this podcast is so safe to me. It obviously is inherently safe for me as a queer and trans person because of who Caleb is and I'm not at all surprised that he's so non judgemental about this, it's just nice as a reminder that not everyone finds it annoying or a problem that auditory processing is a struggle for us NDs

    still listening to the episode but the part where you talked about taking care of your audience + sacrifices was so incredibly touching. your work brings me so much joy; your comedy brings out such effortless laughter and im just so glad i found your work! it's so nice to hear just how much you care about your craft and how considerate and respectful you are of the people who support you. you are so so kind, caleb.
    i only recently got into your work so i missed the window for your la show, but im definitely keeping an eye out for your next one. your work is already so enjoyable online, i cant imagine how wonderful it's going to be to experience your comedy in person ('':

    Vocalist of the band here, I don't know how I missed this podcast on release. But damn yall had some great conversation going. I'll be going to check out Adam's podcast as well. I very much want to see the unification of communities start to take over and take back control of society. We've become so dejected from one another over the years, and we need to break away from the norms that have come over us in the years since covid.
    As well, I agree that musicians need to come together more to levy better payouts and wages for us who pursue doing it for a living 🔥

I didn't think I was "smart" enough to do philosophy because I came from a public school, but Gary always believed in me and is one of the main reasons I double-majored!

    This show is super funny and there’s always great guests but something else that this show does beautifully is expand my mind to what’s possible in entertainment. The talk about community and getting people together in unique ways expands my mind and my own ideas even though I don’t live in LA or have a flexible, creative job. I’m an environmental scientist and yet the shit talked about here is so relatable to my own life, especially when it comes to how you take care of your friends, group and community. Really appreciate the authenticity and uniqueness. -fellow hometown Kansas Citian ✌🏼 (We really were always that nice.)

    this is so real and why i love you! i can relate to the service mentality as a tattooer - it’s so easy to coerce clients into making it about you as an artist, making them think it’s an honor to be tattooed by you. when in fact we are so lucky that people trust us with their literal bodies??? and like you said, they’ve saved and made sacrifices to be there. it’s easy to let your ego win, being humble is a choice. like of course it’s more fun when you get what you want but at the end of the day it’s about your client and how good they feel in their skin. give them the cancer ribbon infinity symbol on their ribs, who cares??

    Bruh. Why do people think remote workers don't have ANY other interactions outside of work!? As a remote worker I get out of my house to go to the gym, go hang out with my friends, go volunteer, go to church, etc. I don't need WORK to be my sole, daily, social interactions.

    • @tewlott
      @tewlott 8 місяців тому +3

      Agreed. I don’t work a remote job,
      but i have some friends that do. I work in a very large cubicle office setting and it can be pretty frustrating and stressful to conduct work in that setting- and in my experience a large percentage of people need/want socialization at work. I think it’s a big difference in personality as well- for some folks remote work is a great
      option for accessibility and health reasons but also, some of us just want to work 😅. There’s nothing wrong with building connection and community, fostering good relationships with coworkers , but it’s really nuanced in my opinion. My friends who do remote work have robust social networks and lives.
