CHICAGO LIVE SHOW AUGUST 17TH: www.ticketweb.com/event/i-never-liked-you-podcast-thalia-hall-tickets/13703183?pl=thalia3

[@zerocraic3966]

“We’re barely friends now” nick omg

[@keenh1075]

The curtness 😂

[@WhoAmI2judge]

I died 😂

[@H3H3HEE]

Everyone needs a Nick

[@jeiwaru]

LMAO I thought he said "we're literally friends now"

[@foxjacket]

Hence the podcast name lol

[@_E_m_m_a_.]

Always weirdly comforting to know people you think are cool were also bullied growing up

[@cherylbrown-m4i]

cool adults were always bullied. the bullies become losers

[@schnitzelthoughts2515]

Seriously. It’s comforting

[@RealPemsas]

I have to admit that I am loving Nick more and more with each video. I just feel that he isn't giving a 5 word answer. I feel like he is answering the questions as if the camera was not on. I see a sincerity and not a show. It just feels more personal and less pageant. I instantly want to be friends with him. It just feels real.

[@ahoytherekaty]

My husband’s from PA and him answering questions is a lot like Nick’s. Matteo’s is SO midwestern! He’s so amicable and chatty - almost like the south more than the north.

[@lexycondeelis]

The way Nick's voice changed when he talked to Matteos mom omg 😂 I've never heard him sound so sweet. ❤

[@da009999]

Nick came from a town of 700?! That is surprising because Nick acts like he owns the city. While Matteo is so warm and welcoming... as if he grew up in a small town.

[@marioncatalano3434]

My son used to stand in front of our house, twirling around and waving a homemade paper something while shouting lines from Sailor Moon. The memories...

[@Elphaboy]

Mom?

[@starlacollins5689]

I can picture Mateo walking around giving reviews of the playground, and tall ass Nick giving disapproving glances to all of the other snot-nosed kids... in a child's sized fancy blouse. 😂❤

[@matthewnour97]

We need a Netflix show of this lol

[@duhastkeinhertz]

😅😅

[@AurumEtAes]

Nah. Schoolground Nick was wearing full sized blouses for added flounciness

[@itsthepens]

I love Matteo complaining about Nick not just answering the question when there’s only 2 minutes left, but wasting half of that time ranting about it 😂 their bickering dynamic is so wholesome and friendly. I want hour long podcasts of this! Also this content about the struggles of growing up as a queer kid in a heteronormative environment is extremely relatable to me and actually really helps with my own traumas and difficulties in those same environments. I love you both, please keep these coming. X

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Nick’s mom talking about Nick’s ‘attitude’ LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@GC-ih8zk]

She was laughing 😭

[@mYcRiSpDiScK]

Bullying sucks, your mind is so innocent at that age and then it distorts your unique sense of self through no fault of your own.

[@ResidenceSkater]

Chris just dying laughing in the back is everything 😂😂😂❤

[@randychampion184]

Yes!

[@AurumEtAes]

Do we ever get to see Chris? Is he genuinely just a disembodied voice? Like a friendly ghost with AV skills

[@jeiwaru]

"You are Angelica" "I am Angelica" 😆😆😆

[@paayal649]

I would give anything to meet the kid versions of Nick and Matteo!! They seem like they were so ahead of their time! Wish this episode was longer I would love to hear more about their childhoods!! ❤️🙌✨

[@samruddhipatil1469]

I HAVE to see a clip of baby Nick as the “Foolish Molar”

[@wasesabaexperiences1687]

I sign this petition

[@jaymic6757]

The mom segment was top tier.

[@mistywebs]

Realised when i pictured kiddo Matteo watching tv on the kitchen tv he had a moustache still..same clothes too just a child version 😂

[@leemackey6162]

OMG, Nick’s mom’s heavy Chicago accent makes my Midwestern heart sing! ❤

[@VAMPYRICBASSIST]

Nick saying "Love youuuu" to his Mom was quite cute.❤❤❤

[@adrianmadden7441]

WE ARE SIZE QUEENS AND DEMAND LONGER EPISODES❤️❤️ love the pod and yall both though:)

[@fgorlando]

Omg I cracked up at Matteo’s Vancome Lady impression from Mad tv 😂😂😂. That was my absolute favorite Nicole Sullivan character!

[@lasher2u2]

Your stories give hope to a lot of kids that are considered different..so glad you guys are prospering now!❤

[@ADiazNY85]

“The foolish molar” 😂 Nick is priceless

[@Take_Your_Time_I_Can_Wait]

How could you not like “Hey, Arnold” as a child. Wholesome, real issues. That episode when Mr. Hyunh’s missing daughter and he got reunited. Randy Travis. What I wouldn’t give to go back!

[@jeiwaru]

Right!?! I gasped! Never met anyone who didn't like Hey Arnold

[@ericdwhitmorec]

Matteo getting Into Hwy Arnold would have had a nervous break down, our Sensitive baby wasn't ready for that.

[@richardengelhardt582]

As children, my family (we were 4 siblings) lived in a very rural wooded suburban neighborhood, on a large private family estate that we shared with my aunt and uncle and 1 cousin. After school and on weekends, there were no other kids who lived close enough to visit or hang out with. So we 5 siblings/cousins plus our two sets of parents (and sometines grandparents) were our only playmates. We played lots of outdoor games with our two families all together. Cross-out softball, croquet, badminton, horse basketball, swimming. And we worked together as a family on our many yard and garden projects, or washing our 5 cars. On bad weather days, there were indoor activities, again all together in a group of 5 kids and 4 adults (and always our two big dogs, of course.) Board games, charades, exploring while cleaning up the attics, basements, and garages that constantly required tidying up. And a lot of cooking together. We also had a family orchestra as everyone in the family played a musucal instrument (my uncle was a professional musician.) Every weekend, we went, as a large family group of 9, to our lake cabin in the summer. During spring and autumn, golfing, rock-hunting, or hiking. Skiing in the winter. Museum and art gallery visits and music concerts were sprinkled in throughout. Our school "friends" were limited to classmates in the same school group activities such as sports, band, theater, student council. But we didn't socialize with any of them outside of school. I didn't have any close friendships (or date) until college.

[@chocobabyflakes3215]

Sounds so fun & wholesome! Do you miss this as an adult?

[@Buzzygirl63]

I was in middle school (then called "junior high school") in the 1970s... by far the worst years of my school career - bullies, cliques, gossips, cruelty to anyone even slighty different. I liked high school a lot more and really came out of my shell. But I agree with so many others here that middle schoolers are the WORST and apparently have been that way since forever.

[@ncbentle9154]

Anyone who works with middle schoolers deserves hazard pay.

[@SindhuKoler]

It truly brightens my day when I see a new podcast up. I scroll, scroll, scroll and then… ooh, yeah!! Tap play. ❤️🙂 You two are delightful. And as a mom who is missing her kiddo today, I’m glad to hear you both talk to your moms everyday. ❤

[@Heykittygirrrl]

Having a rubbish day. Not much is helping lift my mood. But listening to you two talk is helping a little and keeping my mind off things. So thank you :')

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Matteo unifying the Queers by talking about the animated X-Men. It was so much fun!

[@prozierozie5692]

Its a staple

[@MaxWalterStine]

Matteo speaks like an eccentric elderly woman retelling the golden days lmao

[@danieledwards7565]

Absolutely love your podcast!!

[@SallyImpossible]

More childhood stories please

[@taracisco4467]

It’s Nicks super thoughtful introspection for me. I’m obsessed!!

[@stepps511]

Childhood, OMG! One day you both need to provide photos! Thanks for this. It is enlightening, tho' not surprising!

[@elainebryant1124]

You two!!!! Make my day!!!

[@SuperBigboy1955]

Love love love your podcast.

[@kitsunefire1]

Matteo imitating the Vancome Lady from MadTV unlocked a weird hidden core memory for me

[@hydrophobicbathtowel6816]

Will you make Nick reenact his favorite Squidward scene from "Spongebob"?

[@RichNDNGuy]

Great podcast guys! More Nick in stand up too!!!

[@catherinebreaux6761]

Nick at the end😂😂😂. Holy shit that brought me to tears. Just the mouth/word failure and his way of pushing through it. LOVE YOU NICK and MATTEO

[@katc6128]

That Dexter's Labratory impression was everything!! Whipped me back to my 9 year old body SO fast lol

[@Juuleeuh]

Middle school is a jungle. Full of frights.

[@alfredbonnabel7022]

INDEED AWFUL

[@laurenferguson959]

I would love to see a pic of Nick, the crowned foolish molar. 🦷👑😂 (I mean, of course he’s wearing a crown 😂).

[@acboone7]

Nick glitching out at the end is one of my new favorite things to ever happen! Haha! 😂👍🏽

[@willsx2]

Great episode, you guys are so funny together

[@NotMyGumDropButtons.444]

I demand a full rundown of “the tooth play” 😂

[@MissBlueEyeliner]

I need more of Matteo’s mom. What a savage.

[@spanokopita5550]

Excuse me, sir, but Pete's Dragon is amazing! 😂

[@cherylbrown-m4i]

ummmmm OK!!! i adore that movie always will!!!!! THERES ROOM FOR EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD!!! COME ON MATTEO

[@KaaaaPOW9]

Agree! Pete’s Dragon 🐉 was fabulous!

[@ck2a]

To this day, if someone says “For Pete’s sake “, I have to chime back with “And his Dragon”. I’m dumb 🫣

[@lexisnyder978]

The songs are sooooo catchyyyy. Atleast once a week I catch myself humming “ It’s not easy, to find someone who cares” .

[@shafali1972]

OH MY GAWD Matteo!!!! The Vancome Lady from MAD TV was the absolute best and yes my family loved my impressions of her lol

[@annie1561]

Nick was "butch - riding around on bikes" 😂

[@taylordeneal6593]

The fact that Matteo knows the Cynthia theme song got me all the way together 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@glazo76]

Perfect way for me to start the day! I love ❤the podcast 😊😊😊😊

[@FuzzyBSMcgee]

I, too, watched Sailor Moon around like 5:30-6am when i was a wee child in rural Missouri lol

[@obliviouscandybar]

Same, it was definitely my fav childhood show.

[@foxjacket]

Me too except I'm old so I was in high school in a big city 😅

[@Elleb531]

Loved this topic! Good stuff.

[@thali89]

Nick’s side eye is priceless

[@TheQueenBee575]

Love these episodes! Keep it up!😊🥰

[@najadahmer4862]

Best episode yet!

[@uno28127]

Middle school is the worst! My kid starts this year and I have a lot of anxiety on his behalf… the vibes seemed a little off between Nick and Matteo today but still a fun podcast. You guys are awesome. ❤❤

[@UnleashYourMagic]

Matteo's mom saying she doesn't miss the blond hair but him ♥️🥹

[@DelennIrving]

"The Tooth Play"? I haven't any idea what it is, and it sounds unhinged, honestly. haha

[@jul.m.2692]

I like how your Mom just confirmed you have ADHD (like 80% of stand-up comedians). 😅

[@Xander102]

“Butch “😂😂😂😂 stop it

[@leslieedwards7329]

Mateo and I had the same childhood! No friends, 700 cousins, and we would use our parents cameras to recreate SpongeBob episodes 🥹

[@eccentricleo4300]

Asking to basket tossed by cheerleaders is hilarious 🤣😂

[@shlomoboggins8303]

Lmao, I like how Nick considers kickball and riding around on bikes “butch”.

[@andreaus.]

I. Need. Nick’s. 🗣SHHHIIIRRTTT!!!! 😫🤦🏾‍♂️🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Idontwant1]

I like how reluctantly both Moms say YEA after they said your on the podcast.

[@DareDB]

I'm convinced that Matteo and I would've been best friends growing up lol. The parallels are insane.

[@alicetea5321]

Well, so the next episode will be about break-ups, right? I want to know more about people weeping in front of Nick

[@mohamedalhamadi8965]

every Podcast is Better than the Other , Good Job

[@ahoytherekaty]

Y’all, Matteo’s not a “try hard” - that’s just his personality and story telling style. It’s a podcast - you HAVE to stand out. Also, just don’t listen if you don’t like him? These comments are insane for something so asinine.

[@venticoldbrewser5593]

Nick's elementary school must've had the budget of the high school in Euphoria. A production!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

5:11 Nick is done with this 😂

[@uzielperez5744]

Love you guys

[@annettehernandez147]

Great episode Gentleman ❤❤

[@JENNIFERBOO]

I really like Matteo's t-shirt. Nick needs a pizza hut pizza to soothe his soul.

[@lillianmvargaso4960]

❤❤❤ I love your stories- cat -dog I used to watch with my 4 year old.😂 Love you guys😅

[@staceyameliamanson]

My favourite part of the week 🎉

[@LezbollahMothra]

Nick liked to watch Recess as a kid my Spinelli icon has never felt more relevant.

[@craffte]

"You didn't get into your uh...........attitude" LOL☠

[@prabhumenon2207]

That was heart felt in its own way. And also I felt dejavu with both your stories. Crazy how all gays have almost the similar origin story that moulded us into this scheming, time taking, over all observing and sometimes lusting at some, to become sharp , vindictive, blunt, funny and yet , wholesome hot

[@jenifersarver761]

Matteo’s definition of butch is “ in the forest fighting animals”… 😂😂

[@whitneyhansen3581]

I gardened too much for all of Matteo’s quotes and voices 😂😂

[@jimguy2023]

Hahaha the thank you part was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@marcisunshine18]

😂😂😂OK..I might be drunk but this was THE BEST!! I’m the mom now. This was good.🥰

[@chrisquinlan6527]

Can totally imagine Matteo and Nick as children, at the sandbox, reading the living hell out of the other kids. "That Barbie lunchbox with THAT Sesame Street backpack? Gurl..."

[@joannefeole4994]

I loved watching Sailor Moon while getting ready for high school in the am!! The absolute best 😁😊

[@annbush7048]

Love you two.

[@mburns75]

That vibrato is more Ben Platt 😂

[@popcornpretzel6720]

Matteo's mom's accent 😭

[@rachelshaw2583]

Nicks childhood friend here 👋🏼 We spent a huge majority of our time at the public pool and riding bikes. Nick and I would talk shit together about kids we didn’t like and then would go to youth group later on because we didn’t want to be sinners. 😅

[@PKaye-ru2ks]

"I'm not dead" 😁

[@vhead612]

Nick is so midwest. His moms “yeeeeah?” was so genetic and cracked me up!

[@RhiannonThumma]

Oh my god. I need the little Nick and Matteo friends as kids cartoon!!

[@Pronounce_Aluminium]

Could you imagine the first time hearing that voice come from a 3ft 10in 6yr old child. Id pay him in swedish fish all day long just to hear it if we were friends lmao.

[@ShakmaGeebes]

T-ball, riding bikes... I guess I was a more butch kid than I realize 🤣

[@peterhoyt2529]

Omg, we also did that same play in third grade! I can't remember what I was now, probably some vegetable, haha.

[@withdrawnfromearth]

I’m sure you boys saw but they’re doing a show on Hulu about Donald Sterling. I think Hulu owes you a residual check for bringing that whole scandal back to life.

[@DominicanInTheUK]

Omg literally the dang Cynthia song is always the first thing that comes to mind when 90s cartoons get bought up then the couple lines of reptars

[@ahoytherekaty]

“Well you said butch but then went right to kickball”
