The commitment to the too small couch is admirable. Now I get to imagine yall, thighs touching, ac not working, and staring at an empty couch across this "room"
I am Russell. Russell is me. He described perfectly what it's like going to the dr, especially with high blood pressure. Right down to the not hearing back about important tests. I managed to forget they were supposed to call me until a week after they should have called. When I called them, asked the rudest member of staff for my results, and found out I had something serious going on. Russell, NEVER assume there's a special reason they haven't called you. Sometimes they just forget. They are human like everyone else, and in a busy (and not busy) practice, sh*t gets overlooked.
Russell - I 100% back how you say "tour". I was in a convo once with a group of East coasters that all pronounced it like "tore" and they convinced me that I was wrong but I'm not
meeting you two after the dc show has intensified my parasocial relationship to the point where i catch myself about to say “my friends gianmarco and russell” whenever i bring you guys up in conversation
Hey! I am so sorry about those - basically I booked that on top of Australia and it was pretty quickly clear that it would be too much for my first time away. I'm striving to do shows next year in Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong but it's challenging because they'd most certainly be money-losing ventures. But Tokyo is my dream!!! I'll make it happen!!! Sorry again!
During this episode, I got an ad for Rocket Money being read by a Gianmarco Soresi doppelgänger- so much so that I had to pause the ad to make sure it _wasn’t_ Gianmarco. Now I can’t stop thinking about if they saw his bit.
55:00 The plot portion will definitely be you guys reacting to the ai gen 🌽 (inception) for the pod and then that’s the catalyst that gets you two into 💀
I'm with you, Gianmarco! I'd looooove to be a performer for a huge arena who dances and sings for thousands of adoring fans. Being Lil Nas X for a day would be amaaaaaazing. I genuinely don't understand why Russell doesn't get it.
You know, Russell was right when he said an argument would lead to AI sex, because that conversation about being in another body *definitely* had the heated-argument-to-sex pipeline vibes 😂
I was not expecting “Hands on a Hardbody” to be mentioned today 😂 I know nothing about Phish, but I’m SO glad one of my favorite niche Broadway musicals got a little air time
I weigh just over 300 pounds. I don’t smoke. I’m a vegetarian. I exercise some. I’m 30. My bloodwork is all normal. My blood pressure is a bit high because I have PTSD/anxiety, and white coat syndrome, but it’s usually normal when I measure it at home. Weight is not health. And I think it’s really embarrassing most doctors don’t know that.
I have the same problem with my blood pressure always being high at the beginning of my appointment because I'm anxious and I am usually in a rush. Also, I don't understand why they always read your blood pressure out loud as though I know what that means.
@kevinmquigley I agree charges were dropped but he still was found with a 9 year old girl that wasn't his family and who's parents didn't sign off on right? These guys are musicians they aren't gods or perfect
You shouldn't upload podcasts on the same channel as your other vids, podcasts often don't have high retention, signals to the algorithm that your channel has inconsistent video quality
I understand this thinking but fortunately UA-cam has made clear their algorithm is able to differentiate between the podcasts and the stand up. For me to start a new channel strictly for the podcast at this juncture would absolutely throttle our visibility and (meager) income on a way that would prevent us from continuing. I’m sure someday it will be its own channel or UA-cam will have even more organized ways to delineate different kinds of posts from the same creator.
@@GianmarcoSoresi Agreed. I understand fans would prefer it to be a separate channel (I would too). But the most important thing is expanding your visibility!! We fans have to get over it (I did haha). It is downright criminal you don’t have more views! I just know it’s _gonna_ happen eventually (you guys are too funny and endearing for it not to); it’s just a matter of _when_ … come on, algorithm!
Paralympics and special Olympics are different... paralympics are for like physically disabled ( missing leg, blind, etc) and special Olympics are for mentally disabled people

Posted nine minutes ago? I'm late!
You guys should do more guest-less episodes, it’s always nice to hear you guys talk more.
YES! 100%! Their banter and tangents are priceless
So true, and we get to hear a lot more from Russel than usual, which is fun
Yess strongly agree
Well it's also good because they haven't talked in a while so they have a lot to speak on
I prefer it actually.
The commitment to the too small couch is admirable. Now I get to imagine yall, thighs touching, ac not working, and staring at an empty couch across this "room"
i feel so seen for having pretty bad doctor anxiety; you’re not crazy russell ! it really doesn’t help to never have a smooth experience
gianmarco looks so good in the tank top. like okay wolverine.
O shit bro that’s highkey true-James Howlett over here
You two definitely are entertaining enough to carry episodes with no guest, loved this!

I'm so glad you added Russell's name!
As an australian, I can attest to needing the bigger towel, teatowel size is a minimum.
Russell - I 100% back how you say "tour". I was in a convo once with a group of East coasters that all pronounced it like "tore" and they convinced me that I was wrong but I'm not
It's like I can't stand how some people pronounce "high school" the emphasis is in wrong place😂😂 impossible to explain in words tho cuz it's sound
russell!! glad he’s alright
I don’t watch Shorts anymore so I haven’t come across your content in awhile, but these podcast episodes have brought me back!
This episode was a WILD ride, I think you and Russell should do solo episodes more often lol. Or maybe with Douglas added in as well
This episode and the one which had Tova in the beginning ate literals my favourite. More of this, please🙏🏾
Do you remember which one that was? Or at least how long ago it was (to make my search easier)?
Omg, you two together are absolute gems!
It’s bananas they don’t get more views!
Might be my favorite episode
meeting you two after the dc show has intensified my parasocial relationship to the point where i catch myself about to say “my friends gianmarco and russell” whenever i bring you guys up in conversation
yeah this was an epic episode! glad you talked about the special olympics joke you made and that you took it down. y'all are great!
I really love an episode with just the two of you. Glad Russell is fine, but sorry the cardiology office is full of assholes lol.
Hey Ginamarco - what happened to your Tokyo show? I had tickets but got notice it was cancelled. Hope everything's good with you!
Hey! I am so sorry about those - basically I booked that on top of Australia and it was pretty quickly clear that it would be too much for my first time away.

Sorry again!
@@GianmarcoSoresi Oooh gotcha, hope to see you next year then!
this is my new favorite episode
❤❤
Gianmarco is so fucking hot
Why is Giannarco flirting with us with them arms and legs out? Because he cares, that’s why.
He's almost nekkid!
God I love Russell's beard!
I want the limited edition typo towel for my kitchen. Moist or Cunky
I'll see if I have any unused!!!
36:14 It definitely wasn't a bit 😂
Waited for this episode 😊
Gianmarco, you're saying Zendaya's name wrong. It's zen-DAY-uh, not zen-DIE-uh.
anyways, great episode! I love when Russell talks a lot haha
During this episode, I got an ad for Rocket Money being read by a Gianmarco Soresi doppelgänger- so much so that I had to pause the ad to make sure it _wasn’t_ Gianmarco. Now I can’t stop thinking about if they saw his bit.
1:00:42 😂😂😂😂Gianmarco with the quick wit, Russell with the award winning laugh
150 miles to Vegas, here we go
55:00 The plot portion will definitely be you guys reacting to the ai gen 🌽 (inception) for the pod and then that’s the catalyst that gets you two into 💀
1:00:28 - russell is the true voice of the people
Gianmarco doesn't know that Australians love tea towels
I have been dying laughing this whole time watching this😂😂
8:45 - at first gianmarco was saying "TOR", but then switched to "TOUR" with emphasis on the "U". I'm just writing this to get justice for russell
I'm with you, Gianmarco! I'd looooove to be a performer for a huge arena who dances and sings for thousands of adoring fans. Being Lil Nas X for a day would be amaaaaaazing. I genuinely don't understand why Russell doesn't get it.
You know, Russell was right when he said an argument would lead to AI sex, because that conversation about being in another body *definitely* had the heated-argument-to-sex pipeline vibes 😂
It's the perfect hand towel for the kitchen, and then ofc, the occasional clean up!

My boys are looking svelte
What happened to the birthday thing?
Might be part of the Patreon exclusive part.
@@simplicitylost that’s kinda effed up
Never beating the allegations
When they get to the spread eagle bit I had to check and he really did name it that hahah
I need Gianmarco so bad
There’s some thirst trap happening here
Gianmarco, thank you for validating my hatred for Phish. Just malignantly boring music
Maybe if I had quadrupled the shrooms?????
I have the same problem with my blood pressure always being high at the beginning of my appointment because I'm anxious and I am usually in a rush. Also, I don't understand why they always read your blood pressure out loud as though I know what that means.
With that joke about the dogs he must live in Bloomington, IL
29:30 i dont like phish but gianmarco that’s how jazz works
Huge phish fan here but one that is able to laugh at how weird us phish fans and phish in general is 😂😂
Daddy pleas cover it up 😭😭😭😭
not gianmarco thinking hes gonna entice people to join the patreon by talking more about airlines 😂
Isn't this #227?
Put some respek on Mike Gordon’s name!!
That's exactly what Mike told the 9 year old girl he was with before he got arrested
@@MCreedon34 didn’t happen
@kevinmquigley I agree charges were dropped but he still was found with a 9 year old girl that wasn't his family and who's parents didn't sign off on right? These guys are musicians they aren't gods or perfect
Can I just say, please just use a paper towel instead
gianmarco is the jewish mom friend
!!!!!
Right wingers think people are too sensitive but try making a joke about the US flag not being that great and they'll shit themselves.
Too much!

is it an american thing to say special Olympics? we say paralympics where i stay, and here special olympics is rude to say
Paralympics and special Olympics are different... paralympics are for like physically disabled ( missing leg, blind, etc) and special Olympics are for mentally disabled people
Only real friends talk about hypothetical sex together 😗🫰🏼
