Burning in a Lake of Fire with Caleb Hearon | The Downside #31

[@913zzzn]

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. 💖

[@guineapigscanfly]

came from tiktok, gotta say I really enjoyed this haha feels like i’m sitting in the room

[@baileyphipps4529]

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

[@itsmj3103]

I see Caleb, I click

[@StargazingDragon]

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.

[@casper1626]

holy FUCK if this isnt relatable idk what is

[@emerycorner]

Combining this with intrusive thoughts was my personal hell growing up😭

[@MaddyLockman]

​@@emerycorner Agreed. I feel like my religious background definitely contributed to my fears of "thought broadcasting" (the belief that others can hear or see your thoughts). I would picture a bra as an altar server in church and be terrified that the congregation could see my thoughts protected in the air.

[@harshitaagoyal]

This guy needs much more recognition... He's amazing 🔥🔥

[@Pixieblitzie]

Stop pls omfg the way Caleb is describing youth group is word for word like- ong even watching the office the coffee shop pks LNFWODBWJDB

[@novaofthenorth]

You and Caleb have the best energy together! Love it

[@GriffinSalisbury]

I need an update on Gianmarco coming to terms with his prosopagnosia. Homie said, "They were wearing different clothes and had different hair, which were their only discernable identifiers aside from context clues!" TEXTBOOK.

[@michaelawootton2766]

I had the exact thought

[@LieutenantSheep]

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

[@glitch84-]

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.

[@rahfitah8019]

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.

[@krymsontied]

Wow I completely resonate with literally every thing he said it's almost my exact story.

[@MandeeBe]

Came from tiktok- I love Caleb so much!

[@claramcdonald7527]

Caleb is the best

[@CatyBee]

Awwwww. Gianmarco looks so young here.

[@Poppy-333]

Yeah - I barely recognized him! 😮

[@russella90]

lol this was only two years ago? but yeah the beard does age him some

[@LieutenantSheep]

I think he just looks young wo the beard!

[@ivo8312]

OH MY GOD TELLING ME I MADE A MISTAKE HOURS AFTER THE CONVERSATION IS SOO MUCH WORSE WHAT

[@パガイ]

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

[@adriennebrown3212]

29:41 the youth group euphoriaaaa. miss her

[@sharkawiwasgud882]

39:00 you're welcome

[@jessnstovall2010]

THIS... this gives me hope in humanity. Thank You🥰🥰🥰

[@zuks.n]

This was amazing... really intimate and honest and fun man... looking forward to more🇿🇦just realized our flag is upside down😐

[@Lalaundercover389]

This is amazing

[@Jaxsf1]

He’s like an alternate Josh Gad.

[@Hero-up8hv]

Glad this wasn’t my first impression of Caleb😭

[@Shewhospeakesinverse]

Watching Caleb say hed never own a home three years later when he does own a home in Kansas city is so fun

[@plamoretti673]

Hating someone and still respecting their pronouns 💯 (around 1:03:11)

[@LieutenantSheep]

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.

[@Purelychem]

I think Caleb’s father has passed since this was posted. Interesting to hear him reflect now and then.

[@hellodolly7989]

I’m very curious how they got to the tiny couch from here

[@expensivepink7]

I love caleb

[@doug6987]

man I felt this

[@Lord_frosted]

Not me in 2024 hearing “their reinstating masks” and being so confused 😂

[@cjkn239]

It says like anxiety to be honest, high functioning anxiety.

[@Class_Wars]

I'm terrified of having a heart attack or aneurism.

[@kmacwatching9565]

Yeah people don’t really do marketing for the artistry, more for the money lol

[@baileyphipps4529]

i think that was the joke.. 😂😂

[@serenayflamenca]

Gianmarco is that energy vampire….

[@Purelychem]

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?

[@russella90]

GM, did your agents forgive you?

[@akiag4678]

GM/find the road to genuine Happiness Baby, keep that balloon afloat. CH, we love Ya.

[@zeynepgulsu1899]

calep çok şeker biri, gözlüğünü çıkarsa keşke

[@LieutenantSheep]

Why should he take off his glasses? They help him see and they don’t make him not a sweet guy or funny person

[@zeynepgulsu1899]

@@LieutenantSheep he's so cute, i just wanna see his face more

[@bensuter5520]

These two sound like comics who haven’t quite made it but talk like they’ve made it. Moderately entertaining. -Honest reviews by B

"They say you gotta fake it" "At least until you make it" "That ghost is just a kid in a sheet" -Better Oblivion Community Center in Dylan Thomas Thanks B :)

[@serenayflamenca]

Th first minute and a half is why I find gianmarco so grating. Ugh. 😂

[@stephencurry5405]

This is dumb the real thing thats stupid is people who feel they have some moral authority to say people are alcoholics or fat why is that a problem that affects you, just leave people alone

[@goribore]

666 likes. Hm, Caleb literally is the demonic

I would love to know more about this rideshare service “Get” I think it no longer exists!!!
