Y’all falling out and then gently coming back together in a way that better suited you both truly feels like the realest reflection of the journey of adult friendship I’ve ever seen outside my own life, and it’s truly delightful to see 😂
allison’s mentioned the ice cream thing a few times and it makes me very happy. my pharmacy has an ice cream counter, so when i go to pick up my prescriptions i will sometimes get a cone to go, especially if i’ve had a hard day.
Although I was sad to see the sketches end, I'm sure you made that choice for a reason (avoiding a murder/suicicide is a good one) so I hope you don't beat yourself up too much about it! But I am really really glad you came back eventually. ❤
I will say the "is this what you want" jingle from when y'all were going through it on this channel still lives rent-free in my head 😂 But it is such a delight to see you both older and wiser and more relaxed into a healthy friendship!
Allison, I have been single for 5 years no one EVER hits on me in public. Until one day last summer when I was HORKING down a vegan ice cream cone in a gluten free waffle cone.... I am allergic to everything so when I see a place I can eat ice cream I GOT DOWN!! As I was going full Cookie Monster gobbling it down, I got asked out by some cute person. Unfortunately I am retired from dating, but I think this is a sign to start your Instagram. The few times I am able to eat ice cream is truly magical .
Look I also wish you'd kept up the sketches. But you were doing the equivalent of a couple of shows worth of funny on top of the sofa stuff. The amount of energy you were using must have been massive.
If Im being fully honest, I started following the original RUclips channel partly for the drama/tension. You both were still very talented actors who also had very interesting discussions. However, there was as tense vibes, from little miscommunications and more flippant statements from you both. There was definitely a sense that a conflict or feud was upcoming back then? And I believe a fairly high percentage of the watch numbers were somewhat gawkers (who enjoy drama and were waiting for conflict, like on reality tv). Which I think was flawed audience behaviour from us tbh, sorry about that. Whereas now you both have grown so much and are building a much healthier friendship, with a more sutainable basis and mature communication of your thoughts. Which is great to see!! And I think the vast percentage of people watching now are supportive of that and of genuinely nuanced and forgiving communication. But that perhaps some of the people no longer watching were more Roman crowd who egg on the drama types? I think Gabe talked about a similar idea once, about how back on twitter it felt like they had a lot of followers but that a lot were lurking and hoping he'd fail? (Also Id be very supportive if you ever want to stage a dramatic friend divorce on youtube to clickbait them all lol.) And sincerely, its been fantastic to see you both grow and find your authentic voices as your careers progress. I real feel a large percentage of us are cheering you both on positively these days!
I am currently unemployed and without cable so I watch a ton of RUclips. Vlogumentary was suggested to me and I thought, darn how long ago was that released? Anyway, I saw so many folks in the movie that I kinda remembered watching years ago. The one scene I remembered immediately was the Gabe does food delivery part. So I thought, hey I should look those couch potatoes up and see if they still are making videos. Lots of changes in your lives but still on YT. Cool. Allison, I looked up your TikTok. I really enjoyed watching a year or so of posted material.
Allison, you’ll like this, at my part time job we have what’s called “ice cream o’clock”. It’s at about 3PM and we at standard times go get a couple scoops of ice cream that’s still left over from the 4th. lol I love my paid ice cream break.
I did think something slightly happened, but I think you are killing it overall. So, thanks for being a model for how to continue and discuss. Etc. We can do hard things.
Since you brought up your old sketches, I always wondered something. I know that your sketch characters were narrowly based on a single personality trait of yours comically amplified. Did this indirectly function as some sort of therapy, or help you work through any of your inner demons? Helpful or harmful?
Allison, does it make you sad to see people eating alone if they're having ice cream? Would you include adults eating other frozen treats - such as a milkshake or gelato - or does it HAVE to be ice cream specifically?
I love Laura Clery but I’ve had to step back from her channel because her divorce with Stephen is constantly discussed to the point it feels like I’m a part of something super private.
big fan of the podcast, my fav podcast but yeah i do miss the sketches. Although i feel like the podcast still has the same humour as the sketches but more stuff on top of that
I bought myself ice cream earlier today after my pedicure! I read my book while waiting for my order to come and then happily ate it alone. ☺️ It was a splurge but I did feel like I deserved a good afternoon for myself. ♡
A few years ago you guys mentioned your falling out in the midst of it by referencing a specific argument on a recent podcast episode. I went to that episode (first time listening to the podcast) and listened to how different you guys were arguing for 5 minutes and never went back 💀💀 I didn't need the reality of your relationship at the time. (I think Allison was saying that she didn't trust you and you just wouldn't be close friends then)
hi! will shipping the murch internationally be possible in the future? long time viewer en listener from The Netherlands here that would love to drink oat milk from one of your mugs
As someone who has watched JBU since the early days, yes, you should have kept doing sketches and I think a lot of people were confused/angry when things just abruptly stopped with little to no explanation at the time. I understand that both of you were having issues behind the scenes and things weren't going as well as they appeared publically and I'm glad you realized that you had to put yourselves first. On the outside, however, it seemed like you had a good thing going that people enjoyed and then it just stopped out of nowhere. I think that ended up hurting the channel more than it would have if you would have continued what you were doing and eventually explained what was going on behind the scenes and tried to come up with a compromise to make it work for yourselves and the fans of the channel. But, like you said, hindsight.

I would be SO happy if you brought back sketches

SAME.
SAME SAME
But the murder

love this for you!!!
I regularly think about Allison's instagram idea of Adults eating ice cream/ a sweet treat. Its such a wholesome and fun idea.
JBU couch show continues to be my favorite content each week. 600/10!
Although I was sad to see the sketches end, I'm sure you made that choice for a reason (avoiding a murder/suicicide is a good one) so I hope you don't beat yourself up too much about it! But I am really really glad you came back eventually. ❤
I'm so glad you both took the break you needed. But y'all had the best sketches in the game.
I will say the "is this what you want" jingle from when y'all were going through it on this channel still lives rent-free in my head 😂
But it is such a delight to see you both older and wiser and more relaxed into a healthy friendship!
The nature of your friendship/working relationship continues to baffle me

Retired from dating?
Gabe and Allison's future fake falling out will be my favorite ARG
I love Alison liking every comment that mentions the ice cream thing, and ONLY comments that mention the ice cream thing
i missed when you guys left the channel ❤️ so happy to have you back
Allison has definitely mentioned wanting to see more adults eating ice cream before! I can't remember where though.
Look I also wish you'd kept up the sketches. But you were doing the equivalent of a couple of shows worth of funny on top of the sofa stuff. The amount of energy you were using must have been massive.
Anyone else think of Lilo & Stitch where she always takes polaroids of people eating ice cream 😂
YES!!!
I keep thinking 20 years from now Gabe is going to drop the most salacious, sexy tell all
I'll wait for it
yes, please.
Jeez, is there any aspect of your life that doesn't revolve around sex or sexual orientation? Pathetic
I do miss the sketches, but your vibe now is the best it's ever been.
2028 Gabe traveling back to now: Don't get threads!
2023 Gabe: My voice is gonna get so much deeper. Oh my god, did you see my beard??
I LOVED the sketches! Absolutely my favorite.
I love this channel and I’m glad this is still here 💕
Just mentioning the sketches made me really nostalgic, it was how I found the channel.

Yes to the Go-Fund-Me! Could also work as a Patreon. One tier for tidbits, one for gossip, one for secrets and one for shocking revelations!
I'm gonna be honest guys, I skipped all the sketch videos, I was only ever here for the couch show 🤣🤣
I always thought you should have done more merch. Of course you can still do that now, but I mean at peak engagement.
im so glad the couch show is back on regularly!!!
Y'all keep teasing the tea about the feud 😂
That dossier is coming babyy
The last time I watched y’all were on buzzfeed. Time flies!
I am currently unemployed and without cable so I watch a ton of RUclips. Vlogumentary was suggested to me and I thought, darn how long ago was that released?
Anyway, I saw so many folks in the movie that I kinda remembered watching years ago. The one scene I remembered immediately was the Gabe does food delivery part. So I thought, hey I should look those couch potatoes up and see if they still are making videos.
Lots of changes in your lives but still on YT. Cool.
Allison, I looked up your TikTok. I really enjoyed watching a year or so of posted material.
Wow. I am literally eating ice cream in the middle of my work day watching this video. I felt so seen
I love these reflections so much and have grown so much with you two.
Same!
The growth is *chefs kiss*
Or, honestly, occasionally recording the pod via the couch. Watching is enjoyable.
Love yall and love watching this channel 🫶
Allison, you’ll like this, at my part time job we have what’s called “ice cream o’clock”. It’s at about 3PM and we at standard times go get a couple scoops of ice cream that’s still left over from the 4th. lol I love my paid ice cream break.
Love the Pod & the couch show! Glad to see you guys back on RUclips!
I did think something slightly happened, but I think you are killing it overall. So, thanks for being a model for how to continue and discuss.
Etc.
We can do hard things.
You're so adorable Allison, thank you both for another great show :)
“Every time I open my mouth” I’ve never felt more seen lol
“We would be dead in a murder suicide” lmfao 😭
When the sketches stopped i for into the podcast which i enjoy. Also been enjoying the reddit eps
you mean bride's mate? that's what my partner was in their best friend's wedding, the mate of honor :)
I don’t know if we could handle a return of the sketches! ❤
Since you brought up your old sketches, I always wondered something. I know that your sketch characters were narrowly based on a single personality trait of yours comically amplified. Did this indirectly function as some sort of therapy, or help you work through any of your inner demons? Helpful or harmful?
Love the honesty!
Allison, does it make you sad to see people eating alone if they're having ice cream? Would you include adults eating other frozen treats - such as a milkshake or gelato - or does it HAVE to be ice cream specifically?
I second your questions. need to know.
the best thing about being "an adult" is eating ice cream for any reason.
Buying an icecream cone for myself is a spiritual experience. It makes me so happy and proud and hopeful
Also my boyfriend wants to quit smoking and i tell him to just get icecream. I mean cmon , cigarretes are gross &icecream is wonderful .
I 10000% understand and agree with Allison's thoughts on adults eating ice cream
Aww the ice cream thing reminds me of Lilo
Aawww
Gabe, the ice cream thing isn’t new 😂
Allison you're amazing.
I love the chisme I would like the GoFundMe 😅
6:15 ZIWE yesss
podcast > sketches for me tho I love the pod
The secret is the rom com novel! Congrats Allison!
Can’t wait to read Gabe’s tell-all memoir (coming 2063?)
ok just for this, I will walk to get an ice cream cone in the afternoon!
A gofundme that requires you to sign an NDA haha
Just start improvising sketches step by step I LOVE your sketches
I do love the sketches
I do miss Sketches but the amount of effort that requires makes me worry that you guys would get exhausted again 😢
“No, you’re not tracking” is my OCD mantra
Ice cream thing is very Lilo and stitch
Allison’s ice cream thing reminds me of Lilo from Lilo and Stitch
Yeees WE WISH FOR SKETCHES
I miss the sketches a lot
I love Laura Clery but I’ve had to step back from her channel because her divorce with Stephen is constantly discussed to the point it feels like I’m a part of something super private.
alison I passionately love eating alone this is not sarcasm
Gabe is looking so good!! 🤵🎉🧢 (Allison you also look great but I feel like you don't need the validation)
big fan of the podcast, my fav podcast but yeah i do miss the sketches. Although i feel like the podcast still has the same humour as the sketches but more stuff on top of that
Ice-cream is how I get diarrhoea.
So I'm trans and I always felt weirdly represented by Gabe and wasn't sure why until this came up on my recommended.
(haven't seen the newer videos)
Ive divined the secret: Alison has been under house arrest for the last 10 years.
i TOTALLY get the ice cream thing!
Gabe's audio was kinda hard to hear ;( Love hearing u both talk though!!! Brings my so much joy!!!
The beginning of this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
Did they ever mention what the falling out was over? I watched the whole thing and didn’t hear it. Am I missing something or??
we love sketches
Tell me why I would contribute exactly $1000 to that Go Fund Me for all of the juicy tea (mostly who Gabe slept with).
Gabe! Where did you get that Red Sox hat?!
from my uncle!
I eat alone 😅 and I don't like ice cream... it's actually boring after like 2 or 3 licks 😂😂
Hi to my faves ❤
I bought myself ice cream earlier today after my pedicure! I read my book while waiting for my order to come and then happily ate it alone. ☺️ It was a splurge but I did feel like I deserved a good afternoon for myself. ♡
Gabe having a genuine male experience, being completely confused by something a woman said.
I watched yall all the time when you did sketches....just say'in
A few years ago you guys mentioned your falling out in the midst of it by referencing a specific argument on a recent podcast episode.
I went to that episode (first time listening to the podcast) and listened to how different you guys were arguing for 5 minutes and never went back 💀💀 I didn't need the reality of your relationship at the time.

couch show!!

I would follow adults eating icecream js

Not everyone can be Ziwe indeed.
Yall gotta not hold your lavs! I'm sorry but its very inconsistent sounding!
I am lonely but it's not because I eat alone 😉
What's the pont of (finally) having a microphone, and not speaking into it? Clip it on for the love of god..
YOUR FLESH COLORED SHIRTS ARE SO TRIPPY. what is going on 😮 or is it fashion?
I was eating ice cream while I watched this! (I'm an adult)
Omg I've never been this early
Hi
