  • Caleb Hearon shares the downsides of growing up in Missouri, first learning what being gay means in church, growing up with parents who were just friends, working as an administrative assistant at an ad agency, finding out there’s an account dedicated to posting your old deleted tweets, having a mom who tells her friends you’re on SNL when you’re not, the overuse of the word “trauma”, and I play the cameo of him my girlfriend got me for Chanukah.

    Grew up in the same area as Caleb, we didn't know each other but definitely saw him around in the theatre scene and we went to college in the same town as well. It's so crazy/nice to see him living his best life and having escaped the Midwest hell. 💖

    I STILL think about an omnipotent God judging my thoughts even though I'm not Christian anymore. Why did he give me thoughts just to judge them? I used to sit on the bus and try not to think anything because I was scared of thinking something bad.

    as a fellow queer from a small town in texas, I can attest that wednesday night youth group was THE place to hang out. brainwashing aside, it was pretty rad. I got to play guitar with the band and meet other weird lil anime kids and play smash bros. just gotta watch out for that sneaky internalized homo/trans phob!a

    Gianmarco was saying how his mom really believes he’s gay and in a loving way, hopes he figures it out. My mom is the same way. And I am bi but I never officially came out and I don’t plan to until/if I have to. They’ve even tried to get my older sister to out me to them. I think a lot of liberal moms secretly want their kid to be gay bc it somehow cements their liberal identity. They get to say “and my child is gay!” and feel strong or better than homophobic people, even when they’ve used the f slur.

      I have a hard time recognizing people out of context sometimes but I recognize faces. I knew this one girl from my teammate’s parties in college and when I saw her just on campus I would totally miss her. Maybe that’s more what he’s experiencing? Especially if they talk on the phone and via email more than face to face? Idk he’s probably face blind

      Some just have incredible plain face and do nothing to "being different" from the others. Not an insult, just reality. My new mega boss is average height, weith, has not long/ not short brown hair and a not short / not long brownish beard. White 40-something man. At least 2 other people look very similar to him among my colleagues. I dont see him often, AS FAR AS I KNOW.
      I assume this is tied to not having that much styling option? I dont have this problem with women.
      There is a department where there are mostly men. Once, there were at least 3 guys who were tall, thin / lean body, bald, glasses wearing. Tshirt and jeans. I was lost when someone asked me to describe the one i wanted to talk to.

      Wait, you're telling me there's a name for that? 😅 I thought it was called "my fucking bad memory" 😅😅😅 I am terrible at remembering people's faces, I can recognize people by the circumstances (the place they are, who they are with) or if they have something very distinguishable about their looks. I can even recognize someone by the way they walk, but definitely not by their faces. I have an excellent memory for places, dates, numbers etc though.

    i absolutely love caleb and i view him as more of a comedian than some of these stand ups. the quick wit and intelligence really shows when he’s on. the way he handled the back lash of being an “online comedian” was fantastic, quick and on his toes i swear he never fails to make me genuinely laugh

    I like this interview and I like both of them. I will say, the mention of Tovah so often makes me a little, idk, suspicious?? I guess it’s nice cause he’s thinking of his partner but I’ve never seen/heard another podcast-er who brings up their partner so often. Maybe she needs to be a cohost?
