Burning in a Lake of Fire with Caleb Hearon | The Downside #31
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Caleb Hearon shares the downsides of growing up in Missouri, first learning what being gay means in church, growing up with parents who were just friends, working as an administrative assistant at an ad agency, finding out there’s an account dedicated to posting your old deleted tweets, having a mom who tells her friends you’re on SNL when you’re not, the overuse of the word “trauma”, and I play the cameo of him my girlfriend got me for Chanukah.

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. 💖
It's so funny seeing this comment because in a recent podcast he did with Gianmarco he bought a house in Missouri.
@@lmnlstesand the fact that his favorite place on earth is his KC home 🤣🤣
Watching Caleb say hed never own a home three years later when he does own a home in Kansas city is so fun
came from tiktok, gotta say I really enjoyed this haha feels like i’m sitting in the room
I've been on a Caleb Hearon binge recently and I'm coming to realize he's like, really mean, but in a way that I can handle despite being very sensitive and easily offended xD It's refreshing to hear a take that I absolutely cannot stand but being like "eh it's chill"
He’s a mean girl with a kind heart. Some of the kindest people I know are not very “nice”. My sister is a bonafide B and she’d do anything for anyone 😅
And I’m also on a Caleb binge 🤣
I see Caleb, I click
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.
holy FUCK if this isnt relatable idk what is
Combining this with intrusive thoughts was my personal hell growing up😭
@@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.
I just read the Bible cover to cover once and immediately thought wow, that's a great fantasy novel. I can't believe I thought this was real. Then I realised how many other religions came long before Christianity and how Christianity borrows so heavily from so many of them.
That sealed it for me. Religion is a purely human fabrication.
Religion is just a bunch of stories people made up to make us feel better about ourselves in case we don't have any love or power or abundance or joy in this life. You'll have it all in the afterlife!
Caleb is one of the funniest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to
We have a neighbor that we've met half a dozen times, at the park, at the pool, at the grocery store, various places, and every single time she has no memory of us what-so-ever and acts creeped out by us. Like, she doesn't believe us when we tell her that our kids have played together multiple times and we've had multiple conversations.
I think I’d start questioning my own sanity so good on you for knowing she’s the weirdo 😅
I think Caleb’s father has passed since this was posted. Interesting to hear him reflect now and then.
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
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.
I had the exact thought
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
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.
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.
This guy needs much more recognition... He's amazing 🔥🔥
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
Here after watching the Ziwe interview 🙌
Hearing Caleb explain exactly how I felt going to my dad’s house as a kid? I clicked on this for joy, I didn’t need this deep stuff rn omfg
You and Caleb have the best energy together! Love it
Came from tiktok- I love Caleb so much!
you listen so intently i love it 🥹🥲
Wow I completely resonate with literally every thing he said it's almost my exact story.
OH MY GOD TELLING ME I MADE A MISTAKE HOURS AFTER THE CONVERSATION IS SOO MUCH WORSE WHAT
29:41 the youth group euphoriaaaa. miss her
Caleb is the best
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.
This was amazing... really intimate and honest and fun man... looking forward to more🇿🇦just realized our flag is upside down😐
Awwwww. Gianmarco looks so young here.
Yeah - I barely recognized him! 😮
lol this was only two years ago? but yeah the beard does age him some
I think he just looks young wo the beard!
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
This is amazing
39:00 you're welcome
THIS... this gives me hope in humanity. Thank You🥰🥰🥰
1:05:30 .... Caleb, thank you 😂 I fuckin agree. I like that mental health is being talked about more as a whole but trauma should have a weight to it, no? We aren't all running around with depression anxiety AND ptsd. I'm not a doctor. But. My bestfriend was murdered at 21 and I even struggle to recognize that as trauma for me. It really can't just be anything. But I do have it ✌️
Hating someone and still respecting their pronouns 💯 (around 1:03:11)
He’s like an alternate Josh Gad.
Glad this wasn’t my first impression of Caleb😭
I keep hearing the phrase “willfully misunderstand”, and I agree with the sentiment but want to offer this complication; our ideology only allows us to intuit certain things, and what we cannot intuit from our ideology, we perceive as bad, evil, repulsive, and so on. “Willful misunderstanding” fundamentally understates the severity of the problem, in that precise sense. Meaning, ideology can force us to misunderstand that which do not already understand, not only against our will, but literally without our say so. We have no choice in the matter, which is far more terrifying.
What a great podcast. 💯
Hearing the lore behind Caleb’s parents makes me realize my son has damn near THE EXACT SAME ORGIN STORY.
caleb looks so much better now holy shit
Not me in 2024 hearing “their reinstating masks” and being so confused 😂
I’m very curious how they got to the tiny couch from here
I love caleb
Yeah people don’t really do marketing for the artistry, more for the money lol
i think that was the joke.. 😂😂
39:35 that's because god has always been a metaphor for the self and nature and reality and people got it confused and started worshipping an invisible man
I'm terrified of having a heart attack or aneurism.
man I felt this
Ah my two faves! They look so different! Also Caleb your Dad’s autistic dude!
Real ones in New York remember cars2go. RIP to those mini car miracles
GM, did your agents forgive you?
Ads more frequent then cable nowadays damn
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?
What is suspicious about it lol? Gianmarco tends to bring her up often anyways, which seems normal for a person who talks & tells stories for a living. She’s the mutual connection between these two when they didn’t really know each other, if at all, so it makes sense that it would come up.
Tovah manages lots of these performers, including the cohost of the podcast. Plus, she is Gianmarco's muse... I think it would be weird if we didn't hear about her
It says like anxiety to be honest, high functioning anxiety.
i really fuckin relate to the face blindness anecdote
GM/find the road to genuine Happiness Baby, keep that balloon afloat. CH, we love Ya.
Gianmarco is that energy vampire….
Hey Gianmarco, here from 2025! Clubhouse is gone but Trump is back. Hope this helps!
calep çok şeker biri, gözlüğünü çıkarsa keşke
Why should he take off his glasses? They help him see and they don’t make him not a sweet guy or funny person
@@LieutenantSheep he's so cute, i just wanna see his face more
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
Gianmarco... sounds like ocd, sorry !
These two sound like comics who haven’t quite made it but talk like they’ve made it. Moderately entertaining.

"They say you gotta fake it"
"At least until you make it"

-Better Oblivion Community Center in Dylan Thomas Thanks B :)
Th first minute and a half is why I find gianmarco so grating. Ugh. 😂
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!!!
