Matteo Lane's BEST Advice & Explaining Gay Icons | Camp Gagnon

[@monsieurlespaique2333]

I see Matteo Lane's name on ANYthing on KZbin and I watch it. Can't get enough of this guy.

[@TH-pv3bc]

Indeed me too

[@adamdiedrichs8216]

Yep

[@nicoleranville4354]

Same ! I just like hearing his thoughts on everything.

[@robertgarcia8332]

Same here 😂😂😂😂

[@shrihaven]

Lol. Me too

[@chevychase]

Watching these two as a 70 year old man, I thought to myself: America is going to be okay after I'm gone. With fellows like this in charge of America, all will be well.

[@DKBurn]

I’m an almost 60 year old Australian heterosexual male. I just went to have a nap on a Saturday afternoon, woke up and I’m watching Matteo Lane videos on my phone in bed on KZbin. My wife just called out “are you coming out to watch gays?” which embarrassingly is what we call Drag Race. My standard Saturday Night ritual. I have several gays friends. None of them like drag. I’m pretty sure none of them know who Matteo is. Am I living in an inverted universe?

[@RustyBlumpkins]

Mark is hands down, crushing it. 2024 is the year of Camp.

[@shadownaught]

Mark reminds me of a Danny Jones that started eating mushrooms and exploring the human experience in a different way.

[@times2991]

Mark and Mateo need to do a weekly podcast together, they're so good together.

[@Lezamaadrian96]

Mark's interviewing skills are insane, you can see how his podcast has made him the best interviewer on Flagrant we love you Mark, and we love you Mateo

[@jamessheridan4306]

So glad to learn that Mark was "raised gay." Now I can drool over him sans guilt.

[@tanithswinney3184]

I appreciate that Matteo was concerned about being funny but I love watching him in his genuine self.

[@AvenleaHarris]

I love when Matteo does his Nick Squidward impressipn 😂❤

[@susannairisastarte5192]

😂😂😂😂

[@DKBurn]

had to reply to this. I’m an old guy who’s never seen the cartoon. I just saw my kid in “SpongeBob SquarePants” the musical. After hearing the kid who’s playing Squidward speak, I said “he sounds just like Nick Smith”.

[@chrisbouve846]

I didn’t think Squidward could be more gay until we were introduced to Nick😂

[@dominiqueprice3304]

Why does everyone read the Aretha - Celine sing off so negatively Aretha on that stage in that moment literally told Celine: “help me lift him!!” Prompting her to come forward and sing the house down with her. Before that she was trying to Coax Mariah to do it but Mariah stepped back away in respect. But Aretha wanted to have a good church sing along where everybody sings and calls and responds. Celine literally just answered Areatha’s call. When it happened Areatha smiled and literally joyfully bounced toward Celine and they had a musical praise moment. Then when it was over Celine fell back in line with other divas. It was not a slight or a sing-off it was a call and response improv and it was everything!!!

[@MayarElGiushy]

It’s one of these episodes that put a smile on my face through the whole thing

[@CampGagnon]

Whats good people! Comments for the vibes baby

[@danielforrest2952]

This ep is gonna be like the flintstones we gonna have a gay ole time

[@artsazon3668]

What happened to the original upload? I started watching seconds after I got the notif, closed the app out by accident, came back and it was gone 😱

[@hipreference]

What's up with the scuffed thumbnail?

[@CampGagnon]

KZbin was down :(

[@CornerStoreDrums]

LETS GO!!

[@KristineMaitland]

Italian, Mexican and Irish to be exact. But I swear Matteo is a Renaissance man. A graphic artist, opera singer, cook, multilingual and a deft comedian.

[@yomaraalmodovarsantana9104]

I'm in my Matteo Lane rabbit hole and the algorithm stumbled me upon this 2hr conversation of two comic friends just getting to know each other more. And Matteo has the audacity to go "I hope I wasn't boring and didn't get to much into what I'm in to" at the end... Bro this was a 2 HOUR podcast and we just finished listening to it because it's you.

[@jbAbendRot30]

OMG I must say this is the BEST Podcast Episode with thee special guest MATTEO LANE 💌 Hopefully this would be not the last with you both having a Collaborative... 💯🔥❤️

[@madmonkee6757]

I'm almost 50. My 30s were the best time of my life (so far).

[@eros4434]

This was an incredible interview, probably the best I’ve seen with Matteo. I’ve been a long time fan of his and I’m so glad KZbin suggested this to me, I’ll be checking out the rest of your content. And, please do another with him .., I feel like you both brought out the best in one another.

[@HazelwithaZ]

I see Mateo, I click. 😊 Gotta look up Maria's performance now!

[@carbonfrog1]

I truly enjoyed this conversation, I learned so much about music and Italy 2 of my favorite things in life. Matteo, you are never, ever boring! This was a real pleasure, thanks and yes I would def watch if Nick and Matteo came for another interview! Hahahaha that would be incredible.

[@Ste74H]

That was fun and cool! Just a quick one. To casual onlookers the Celine incident with Aretha may have seemed uncouth but it was very in-keeping with the traditions of the Black Church, the call and response/shout/vamp part of the song which builds to a climatic form of praise in Gospel music. Aretha initiated it and was pushing each singer to "let loose and let God in" and catch The Spirit so to speak. She's done that in other performances many times.

[@pavana2810]

Thank you so much for the Callas Tosca explanation. I only knew bits and pieces but you put it together in context beautifully. Wow and she would have had a child to love and heir to his fortune. Wonder if she ever had price in this life.

[@oleolsen1073]

He retold this story word for word almost , there is a documentary about Maria callas😊

[@CatyBee]

I've been a fan of both of you for awhile, and I'm living for this collab! Thank you both ❤

[@jbart5260]

Love Mateo. Your channel came up in my queue because Mateo is in algorithm. I subscribed because you are a great interviewer and adorable.

[@ladylucie2451]

What an interesting interview. I am curious now about this Mark guy, so I'll probably check out more of his content. The conversation @47:00 is great & I hope the spark we see in Mark when he clicks together that "German Shepherds are okay in my mind because they have jobs" - it's the first step in truly understanding biases and prejudices like racism and classisim.

[@FuhQ64]

I look forward to watching you two's careers flourish for decades to come

[@nadiacuevas9156]

This was such a great episode

[@Litboy_skiddit]

Matteo is one of the funniest comedians I’ve seen online

[@samuelcareen5563]

Matteo's French-Canadian accent is on point

[@JLZR1]

This is what real conversation is like… such a great video.. 👍🥂

[@coltenmoore1983]

Never looked at Matt as a gay comedian, just a comedian that is gay.

[@Tamcginn]

I have a close friend with a beautiful grey PB, and this dog loves to visit me! I mean he gets too excited sometimes, but no different from any other dog who gets excited, but he is never agressive!

[@swapnabombay]

Excellent interview! Easy and effortless communication.. Wonderful❤

[@andrew.osu.96]

Commenting for the vibes

[@jb-ef1zu]

Matteo, Gus, like most pitties, is a major empath, that's why he comforted you. They are one of the most empathetic breeds.

[@LLynneM]

_Why isn’t Barbra Streisand touted now as much as the other magnificent female singers?_ *The short answer:* Jealousy, pettiness, control, misogyny. *The long answer:* Becuz she was A Force. She knew her worth early on, she didn’t let any of The Men in charge in the music industry take advantage of her + she beat them but at a price. Her rep was cemented as a difficult, demanding diva. Then in the ‘80s, she took on the movie industry much the same way. She wanted to do Yentl so badly + the gatekeepers tried to keep her out. So she did it in herself, she was writer, producer, director and lead actor. It should hv won an Oscar for best movie and director but the gatekeepers got her there (she did get the golden globe ). But the music did win 3 Oscar’s.

[@beejereeno2]

lol this was amazing. I don't even know this host, Matteo just adds so much to every pod he guests on.

[@partywolfmedia]

My mans left his wife with a stranger and a chainsaw like it was nothing 😂

[@geocyo8835]

But he was a doctor!😂

[@thaicomh]

Handled it so poorly.

[@LayZeeChill]

“Small Chinese man collecting cans” happens here in San Francisco lol

[@OlavaCandleCo]

And in Vancouver BC lol

[@dudeivealreadydonethis5tim289]

Yep in the east bay too!

[@dangmatic]

This pod is so much better than flagrant nowadays

[@douglaswild3852]

This was great!! Love this conversation between you two. 👍🏼

[@ceekay8644]

You had me at laying out flowers! Lolololol You two have a future or something like that!

[@mefulgado]

Oakland, CA here and pre-pandemic, they were very nice older Chinese women collecting the cans. I'd always save mine to have it ready for when I would hear someone rummaging through the apartment recycling bin early in the morning. I like to think it made for one less bin they had to dig through before they could go home and although not a single word was exchanged, the interaction was always a great day starter. Heartbreakingly, after all the violence toward Asians due COVID19, they don't come around anymore...but with groceries as expensive as they are, I am now saving all my cans.

[@buttahp]

I loved the club talk. I first went to the gay bars to support my gay friends and then later i realized the music and dancing are really good and I felt safer.

[@brendakuhr485]

What a great interview! I learned so much in an entertaining way! ❤ Matteo!

[@dianallamas7135]

Yay. These two are a gem and yes Matteo, I looked up Liza on HSN and woooow. You're spot on. 😅😅😅😅. More more more of these two

[@mattg2306]

I think I may have to subscribe to the page for the sole reason that I found another Gagnon (never met another one where I live!) Matt Gagnon here nice to meet you Mark lol

[@kaifisshhh]

can’t believe i watched 2 hours of a podcast only to get absolutely SHADED in the last 5 mins for being a theatre kid

[@kyleshepherd4208]

Brendon Urie singing Duck Tales is the absolute best!

[@dudeivealreadydonethis5tim289]

Its also a California thing in the bay area . So is carrying laundry and wearing a backpack everywhere.

[@jazzwhitmore292]

the old Chinese man collecting bottles thing is a Sydney AU thing also.

[@kaydiglawson7767]

As someone who has helped 100's of stray dogs , please ask your brother in law and all his friends to stop back yard breeding!

[@yukiminami9207]

my non-gay date last night from nyc mentioned he loves matteo :)

[@travibetes1]

hey mark, what is that thing you were drinking at about 5 and a half minutes in? That caffeine substitute? caffeine makes me anxious as well and I've been trying to cut back but I'm like addicted. I'm interested to look into what that might be and if it could help?

[@jaimealopezv]

Magic Mind 😊

[@ilahjarvis]

Just for the record, I really enjoyed learning about Maria Callas and what made her so special. I enjoy opera (Leontyne Price is my favorite singer) but there is a lot I don't know. Also get the biggest, most comfortable bed you can afford. We recently switched from a King to a Queen and the closer distance makes us very aware of every sound movement the other person makes, and we are both short, small people.

[@amazinggrace5692]

Barbra Streisand’s last name has only one “t” in it. It’s not Streistand as many people say. I also find it interesting that she writes her first name as “Barbra” instead of Barbara. 💕🐝💕

[@oleolsen1073]

My 85 y o aunt in Florida is called Barbra , did not think that it's so unusual 🙄🤔

[@Panda_Kelli]

I love those green shots too!! Great stuff.

[@joshm.1483]

Matteo’s British voice is just Michael Caine

[@jamesmontano2618]

Mark straight crushing the pod game.....gave up others to pick this one up weekly!!!! Keep rocking it ❤

[@grainofsalt2113]

I've never see a straight man actually show interest in having an interesting conversation with a gay man. This is very unique, well done

[@jarodh-m6099]

Please listen to Minnie Riperton singing Lovin' You - one of the greatest examples of whistle register.

[@leonstevens1382]

Fascinating a gay guy talking with a straight guy! Normally even!

[@feezible]

Im so excited for this shammit.

[@brockreynolds870]

Let me say, I LOVE Mark's hair... I also loved it when Melissa Manchester wore it.

[@cherylwilliams4793]

Abigail, hands down, was the worst. She didn't take anyone else's thoughts or feelings into account, and when she didn't get what she wanted, she turned vicious. Sinbad wasn't cool, but simply proposed an improper business deal - which could've been accepted or rejected. Nothing personal. Abigail rejoiced watching her "beloved" get beat up.

[@EzraSprouts]

Cats supervise us to make sure we're peeing correctly, and we disappoint them every time. One of many reasons they think (know) we're incompetent fools, and graciously allow us to live in their homes.

[@CornerStoreDrums]

Two of the best looking fellas in comedy! LETS GO!

[@1hayes1]

His ringlets slay me.

[@brandoboe]

Checking in from Portland where I’m waving at the Chinese man taking the cans out of my recycling right now. 😂

[@bridgetisjonesing5007]

Great concept for a podcast!

[@bobcatjordan]

I could see you as the narrator in Shucked.

[@buttahp]

Matteo! Lin Manuel is Puerto Rican. This means youve known him since In The Heights, which makes me love you even more. 😂

[@Pandaliciousness]

The Chinese recycling collector is also very Los Angeles

[@cesarhernandez8098]

Don't need to say anything but keep it up mark. Love from LA bro ✊🏽💯

[@shaniniiii]

What I would do to be a fly on the wall in the same room as Matteo and Nick 🤣

[@-HRH]

Matteo is a quarter Italian. He's mostly Irish and Mexican. De Niro is also mostly Irish. Di Caprio is mostly German.

[@kristenmurphy4122]

I want to listen to these two talk to each other forever.

[@andreabasney]

My favorite Streisand pop song recording is “Stoney End”

[@CatyBee]

I wish the background behind each person was more bland - visually it's lovely to have the decoration on the side, but when the camera is head-on, it's nice to have a less visually distracting background so you can really see the person and their expressions.

[@t.b.5553]

41:46 🤭 I’m literally watching this in my robe. I’m always chilly so it’s helpful 😄

[@lwhite530]

No it’s not a NY thing. In CA, south Bay Area and maybe everywhere else in the Bay Area, we have old Asians (Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Laos, etc…) they pick up the cans off the street. 😂

[@KristineMaitland]

You do what you must to put your kids through med school. I'm Black Canadian and in the 70s I collected bottles for cash. You do what you must.

[@elijah-kj2cu]

Old Chinese men also collect cans in Toronto, they dump your beers before you’re done too

[@nestorarmenta703]

Matteo is always awesome!

[@rcnewman51.]

This is gonna be GOOD

[@Miss_Camel]

Wow…I have never been a fan of reality tv, but I can tell you right now, I would watch the hell out of a show about the couch doctor!! I want to know EVERYTHING! 🤣

[@EzraSprouts]

Your cat's name is so cute, my friend also has a cat named Tika which they told me means rascal/mischief in Romani. However "tikna" means little girl, daughter, small child etc. Interesting to see shared language across the globe with no obviously shared origin (Romani has Hindi roots via Eastern Europe) 🤔

[@Valeriapeaches4]

I love him

[@roymoreno3767]

Love, Love, Love Mateo Lane and what a hunk Mark Gagnon is...NICE...

[@MizzJalen]

Toronto also has the old Chinese people collecting bottles the average age of them is about 80 years old

[@Onry1]

Skinny jeans of the 90's are really different form the skinny jeans of today. Might as well paint them on and they can't even move in them. Sorry Mateo that is NOT what happened between Aretha, Celine & Mariah, its a move you use in older gospel music to 'lift him up'. Aretha went to Mariah first because she has sung in a church setting. Mariah did a few words and retreated twice. Aretha then called on Celine and she answered, sang up with Aretha then did what your suppose to do and retreat back to the line.

[@chrisbouve846]

I’m straight, but I have a man crush on Matteo Lane

[@chrisk5651]

I’ll probably buy next year!

[@thisisit333]

Re: cans It’s a San Francisc (mostly Chinese little old ladies) and Portland (Chinatown area) thing too!

[@johnthompson932]

From Turkey and from a Scotsman love you and love Liza Liza with a Z

[@RVOPuttPuttProductions]

You guys are babies! Entertaining for sure, though. Wait til you hit 50 or 60.

[@Cruel-Spark]

This was great guys!! Collab more. 🙌🏼 Nick needs to guest next. 😅

[@spicycajun2core]

Best ep in my opinion

[@alexvoskanian3265]

Love Matteo! Also, Chinese man collecting cans exists in Boston too, can’t speak for the rest of the country though 😂

[@timoetjen2207]

I personally use a robe for the purposes of extending the warm-bed sensation well after leaving the confines of the warm bed itself. It must be nice to have such sophisticated homeostasis gentlemen.

[@user-gv6kp6pu1t]

If y'all wanna know who all the gay icons that gay people genuinely love and cherish and buy their records in record numbers and these women I'm about list are also LGBTQ Allies and supporters.
