i feel like putting the pod episodes on their own channel could help a lot with viewership. and put russell's name on it! that part's not about viewership he's just an essential part of the pod. love y'all
I think this is the way to go long term, but if you look at Geoffrey Asmus (who also has a large youtube following) and his "You're an Idiot" podcast which started posting on its own channel, the number of views the new eps get are about 1/4 as much as they used to when they were posted to his own channel. Seems like people didn't know about the shift so maybe Gianmarco and Russell should give themselves a long enough runway of telling viewers for weeks to go subscribe to the new page NOW and then after a while, start posting the new eps there.
4:37 when you started talking about old people being ready to die but not ready, i thought of this video i saw of this old woman. She had picked out her urn, and said she yearned for the urn. She looks at it everyday and drinks her tea beside it😂
I fully laughed out loud at the sincere discussion of the overuse of "screaming, crying, throwing up" Russell's level of rage vs. the nonsensical phrase
OMG Chloe explaining stations of the cross is so relatable to me! Just assuming the two guys know what she’s talking about. I too was a Catholic school kid and retreats etc. were everything! Queue Mandy Moore in “Saved” I AM FILLED WITH CHRIST’S LOVE!
I dont remember which comedian said it but whenever they say: "you look better without your glasses " you say: "thats funny, you look better without my glasses too" 😉
"His 98 is a lot better than Biden's 81" 🤣🤣🤣 Love Russell's I don't understand NFTs but no one explain it to me "I'm not asking for anyone to explain it to me, but I don't fully get it, but don't explain it to me" same 😂
Concerning the intro: as someone who is autistic, but only found out a few years ago… every couple months that I saw my older brother after he moved out of our childhood home, all I could say at first was whatever had changed about his appearance. “Your hair is shorter” “you shaved your mustache” “you’re spiking your hair” “you’re tan” and I always said it with a frown on my face- purely because it was a different face than what I was expecting, not because it looked worse. Change can be confronting. It’s unfortunate our reaction to it comes across as rude. But also, I get why it does. 🤦♀️
So weird hearing Chloe reference Streeter Seidell, I was such a huge Streeter Theeter fan back in his college humor days. Phantom of the office was the greatest. What a blast from the past I loved listening to this.
Those vitamin c packs that are marketed for common cold, like Emergen-C, doesn't help with common cold. On average, the cold lasts about a week, whether you take supplements or not. In _some_ studies, it's been shown that taking zinc as soon as you notice symptoms can reduce the intensity of cold symptoms, but that hasn't been definitively accepted as true. Some studies show it's no different than a placebo, while others show quantifiable and measurable differences in the control and experimental group. Also, Gianmarco at 40:25 sounding like he has royal skin lol
Pharmacist here, can confirm all of the above! Have counselled so many patients over the years not to waste their money on emergen-c. Literally word for word of what you said above. ❤
You are being bad theatre kids LOL: that was Mary Martin (not “Murphy”) who played Peter Pan for many years. She also originated the role of Maria in the original Broadway cast of “The Sound of Music,” and - cherry on top - was the mother of Larry Hagman, AKA “JR” PS: Enjoyed the podcast! 😊
@54:22 Absolutely no one corrects Russel on his assertion that Jesus is dating his mother Mary. Russel still thinks Magdalena is like his sidechick and Mary is his main girlfriend.
As I am watching this I am like, "Why didn't SNL choose Taylor Ortega?" During the interview she wrote her own music and sang very well and was really funny. What is the criteria, exactly? Was she too "ethnic"??? SNL is still very racist, basically.

"i still dont fully get nfts but dont explain it to me" EXACTLY me
Sometimes I feel like no one does, but others are better than me at faking it
I've never related to anything more
oh no, why were we deprived of the sight of the synchronised shifting?? 38:08
"i didn't have the heart to say anything, that's not me" a very crucial aspect of your job is crowd work and roasting people hahaha

Russell didn't want his name on the pod.
23:32 "I've been to two parties" so cosmopolitan, Gianmarco

“Yearn for the urn” !! Gonna remember that one for when I’m ready to go
@@emmelinesprig489 it's a great idea, pick something that you'll be happy to be in 😂
She’s so iconic for that
She said she didnt wanna spend the rest of her life in something ugly, she wanted it to be something she liked, iconic tbh lmao@rebeccaernette1749
getting asked to go to the stations of the cross is so funny and so catholic lmfaooo
I'm a huge fan of Chloe! She was an in some of the best sketches from the past season! And she has such a great voice!!!

1:14:02 the cuts back and forth during the silence killed me
omg you got chloe on here! shes one of my fav new snl cast members, so talented
Obsessed with Chloe glad she's on!
Good episode to lift weights to. The fire crew on station looked at me funny as i chukcled mid set. But worth it.
2:12 Gianmarco do you want me to fight this person because I'll pull up

every moment of this sketch is perfect lmfao
0:39 bruh
I have friends who had grey hairs at 15 bc they had stressful childhoods. wild thing to bring up.
Also: good old genetics
Listened to the pod at work, came home to watch so I could see the guests Patti impression
Brilliant blessing Gianmarco! Sending love Russell X
Chloe’s vocal impressions!!! 😮🤩
portland was my first comedy show and it was so much fun.
My birthday is on the fourth and every year I think of the people who lose their hands on the day I eat cake.
I keep forgetting by tickets to the Washington, DC live.
the first few mins made me go watch the little orphan snl skit and i was not disappointed

"new york keeps you humble"??
then where does gianmarco live?
For a minute I considered coming to Gianmarco’s defence, but then got distracted by your profile pic. It’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. 😂
I miss Chloe on SNL. I think about that moon sketch all the damn time.
I'm gonna die in my 80s or I'll live forever. No inbetween.
❤❤❤

“Shore”
Just throwing it out there because of the common guest, any hivemind fans here?
1:24:03 cool beans.
I die a little inside when I hear someone say that in fucking 2024
