More about Gianmarco:
Gianmarco Soresi is a stand-up comedian, actor, and a little too much for some people. He’s told jokes on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central, Netflix’s Bonding, Don’t Tell, The Real Housewives of New York for some reason, and he was a JFL New Face in 2022. He’s acted in Billy Crystal’s Here Today, Hustlers, The Last OG, and in his theater days shared the stage with some people who’ve gone on to become huge real estate agents. You can see him post the kind of crowdwork clips that are arguably destroying the artform of stand-up comedy everywhere @gianmarcosoresi and he obviously has a podcast called The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi.🎤

Thanks for watching/listening/complaining!
Love you guys
Love your show
Love your opinions
Love your vibe
❤❤❤
Gianmarco has to come out as straight more than gay people come out as gay 😂😂
Gianmarco: "No matter who wins, we will still be sending money to Israel"
Matt: "Oh so we CAN really talk about everything."
This is already a great start.
Matt gets heavy into politics in his content. Really recommend him.
@@_letstartariot Yes, I know. He is on the top list of podcasts I listen to.
What's a downside episode without Gianmarco coming out as straight 😭
I know he’s so brave lol
He does kind of look like he's flirting when Matt first sits down
I mean the beginning of this podcast was the gayest I have ever seen Gianmarco. I would have bet a few bottles of good wine that he was hitting on Matt, if I wouldn`t have known for sure that he is hetero. He was getting into suggestive body language and tone of voice by the minute, the room tempterature was rising.
@@TheElfGirl For sure! I would have bet he was flirting with Matt if I wouldn`t have known for sure that he has a girlfriend. He was getting more suggestive by the minute, the room tempterature was rising, can`t blame Matt for saying it`s getting warm.
Truly
“If you thought I was gay before” …. “I did” lmaoooo
@@ThisIsChaz That part had me crying lmao
I love how Matt is always in-frame because his buff arms are perfectly reflected in the "uncle function" poster
Hadn't noticed, the podcast got even better thank you
became a fan of both of you in 2021 this is the crossover event of the century for me and i have no one to share it with.... a tragedy truly
🎉share it with me buddy😊
And with me! ❤
IM LOSING MY MIND TOO.
we're all sharing it here together.
YOU CAN SHARE IT WITH ME I'M FREAKING OUT
the both of you look like the “roommates” that have been living together for 30 years
30??! 😂
my first time seeing this podcast and i legit thought the hosts were a couple before they both had to come out as straight 😭😭😭
so... a couple? hahahahhahaha
Bert and Ernie aahh 😂
@@cuba3543 they were roommates 😏
Gianmarco: "Do you like the word influencer, or do you hate it?
Matt: "I mean I do hate it, but I have been called worse before noon today"
said in this "I can`t be bothered" - kind of tone.
God, I love this man!
HUGE DAY FOR ME IN PARTICULAR
not gianmarco giving matt pretty eyes during the set up hihihihi
Matt’s reaction to gainmarco’s heterosexuality is like the Britney Spears / Ryan Seacrest meme
OMGGGG MATT!!!!! I've never clicked on a video as fast!!! y'all are the best!! this is gonna be gold!
I would love love love to see Big Joel guest on this podcast, he was the Guest on the episode of A Bit Fruity about Jubilee.
He loves to be a hater, he's cute and Jewish, hes a silly boy but is also very smart.
I love that this podcast has on smart, funny progressives, most comedian podcasts are so centrist/conservative.
Yes! That would be awesome
@@amnessie I think their vibes would mix right? Maybe if Gianmarco watched his video on conservative comedy first, they could talk about that as a jumping off point, that's one of Joel's best vids
“I think being gay and being Jewish are spiritually linked”
“Tell me how”
“I can’t 🫶🏻” 😂😂
Gianmarco is all of us who are neurodivergent finally being medicated 😂😂
Ahahahah😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Matt's plastic surgery take is so interesting to me, I had never thought of it like that. I hope he eventually does a whole episode going deeper into it
Also, Gianmarco this was so great, you have to have him again
5:00 - at this point, gianmarco might need to wear a shirt that says he's heterosexual 😂
the way he talks DOESN'T HELP😭 like why is there tension all over that room??!!
Dialling up the Gay at the beginning Gianmarco!
✌🏻😘👌🏻
As a double jointed person LMAO WTF
Hahahahahaha
@@GianmarcoSoresiI really want to know what the article was! ❤
EDS and ADHD here 😂 I also want to know hahahahahaah
Deadass heard that and was like welp. Didnt realize my time has finally come...to an end.
Same. Plus, not all of us retained it. Likewise, it isn't being double anything. We just have looser ligaments, and can't depend upon them for support. So, TAKE PITY ON US FOR WE END UP WITH CARPAL TUNNEL UNLESS WE GET JACKED! 🤣😭🤣🔥
No, serious. Learned this from the PT & OT.
Likewise, it can lead to us having limited mobility because our muscles have to compensate so we end up with the WORST CASES OF TIGHT MUSCLES 🤣
Like, I used to look at the other kids in elementary school and be all, "WHY DO I HAVE TO TAKE THIS STUPID TEST‽ I SUCK AT IT AND CAN'T DO SHIT! I HATE NOT BEING FLEXIBLE!"
It becomes bizarre to then have your physical and occupational therapists telling you that all your issues are due to hypermobility. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like, WTAFH IS THIS‽ WHERE WAS THIS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHEN I NEEDED IT ON THOSE G-DDAMNES ATHLETICS EXAMS‽
FREAKING OUT AT THIS CROSSOVER
Matt is such a wonderful person and his podcast is fantastic.
Such a great guest, amazin seeing all my new favs collaborating
This is why i love russell and gianmarco. We occupy a very similar space in our sexuality. Only difference is for me, no one "assumes" I'm gay, but they wouldn't bat an eye if i came out tomorrow. And honestly, I kind of wish I was gay, just because then it would answer so many questions about myself.
For the longest time I felt the same way about wishing that I was gay because it would make a lot of parts of my personality make sense and then I realized that I wasn’t actually a boy and everything fell into place. I’m not saying that it’s necessary the case for you but I would explore the parts of you that make you feel different from other straight guys and what they mean in your life because understanding yourself at a deeper level is healthy and very fulfilling.
My theory about “gaydar” is that it’s just the vibes someone gives off when they have truly asked themselves and are comfortable with the answer of their sexuality. More often than not that refers to queer people since they’re more likely to explore it in the first place! But het people who give off that vibe are equally “safe” since it tells me they were good with whatever the answer could have been
It’s a CONTENTAL BUFFET out here today! So happy this crossover is happening. 👏🏽
OMG some of my favorite people on the internet coming together?? 😍 the collab I didn't even know I needed 😭🖤 thank you in advance
It’s amazing to see a postmortem of the Harris/Walz ticket so accurately described 12 mins into this podcast.
And I mean of the Gen Z voters - social media is my information
Clicked so fasssttttttt shattered the sound barrier 😂❤
I've never seen or heard Matt Bernstein before and I'm glad to now be introduced to him :)
@1:03:00 as an exvangelical, this reminds me of disguising gossip as a "prayer requests" when you're in a group setting with other christians. You get to freely gossip because its aligned with the goal of praying for that person.
yyyYYYES!!! ❤
Yeah, a lot of christians have their whole personality being some hypocritc stuff like that being diguised as "righteousness". That`s why I despise a lot of them. Just as bad as all the other bad people, but feeling superior to boot.
Love seeing Matt in a chill hangout environment just having a silly goofy time ❤
matts laugh is so cute. i’ve followed this pod forever but this is my first pod video ive watched lmaoo
The only thing I know about Springfield Missouri is that Chappell Roan is from there
How wild is it that i finally subscribed to Gianmarco last night, so this is the first podcast episode i get in my subscriptions and it's with matt guest starring of all people who i think does good work and am also already subscribed to! I thought they only invited comedians on so this is a pleasant surprise. Can't wait to watch this during my lunch break today!
HUGE DAY FOR THE GAYS! 🎉❤
I love this crossover, Gianmarco, you're still my favourite gay straight man on the internet ❤️
The crossover i didn't know i needed 🤩
EDIT: Oh god it's a pre-election episode 😭
EDIT #2: parody idea of Legally Blonde; Is He Gay or Jewish?
I would watch that 😆
I didn’t realize this was Matt at first 🤦🏼♀️ I was like “why do they look so familiar?!” lol
But also, someone else said the same, but I agree…why do people go right to gay or heterosexual? What about bi? That’s what I always thought when it came to this bit about Gianmarco
I've been bouncing between this show and Matt's show the last two weeks so this was a delight to see in my feed!
I'm with Gianmarco on societal progression. I think in our American society, it's two steps forward three steps back. The gain in progression is only seen intermittently. This analogy still stands because it's not identified what steps are for how long the thread or how deep they run. It's the climb of humanity and we're all in it until the worms.
Two steps forward and three back means we're regressing. I think it's the opposite.
@@raymax_1071 again the steps aren't clarified to be identical in their reach. The drag is slow and we are still endearing.
Great conversation, awesome guest!
Vote for mentioning Russell in the podcast title as well 👍
Gianmarco was IMMEDIATELY absorbed by and into that energy. woow :D
I called you Giancarlo once by mistake in a comment. I edited when I realised, but I'm sorry
Jubilee gives Piers Morgan vibes, no?
Yes, giving wild insane right wingers credence
Oh wow. Yes.
Chiming in as someone with knee-length hair: most of the time it's in a bun or braids. If you want super long hair, you gotta use protective styles. It's only left loose for washing, and occasionally sleeping.
That said, a non-exhaustive list of ways I have gotten my hair caught: sitting on it, laying on it, shutting it in the door, sliding it between the seat & back of a swivel chair, and (most memorably) buckling it into my seatbelt.
My hair is a little below and waist and I've thought of growing it out, but it seems like so much additional work. Even with my current hair, I can't do anything but braids and a frizzy bun (cuz my hair can't behave at all and also, I don't know any other doable styles). Both hurt my neck while sleeping, Ive got chunks of it caught in someone's chains and the hairfall and tons of knots are decidedly not fun.
It's a daily struggle but I wouldn't trade it for anything lol
Sometimes my long hair tickles my bum and gives me a fright 😂
@alinachrist8416 @alinachrist8416 Oh yeah, the knots aren't fun. I got lucky with my hair type; it's only a bit wavy, and incredibly low-maintenance.
I'm a side sleeper, so having my hair in a simple braid doesn't bother me. I actually find it *less* annoying than sleeping with it unbound
The channel Katherine Sewing has an hour-long video on protective styles that I've found useful (and her hair is much curlier than mine), so maybe you can find something there to try.
I’ve been subscribed to this channel for months and this is finally the first time that I’ve actually recognized and already been invested in a podcast guest
Wow great guest. Such interesting conversation. Matt's also ... like... Beautiful. Love the vibes.
Oh my god, the crossover I didn't know I wanted but that I needed. I also love that Matt wasn't aware of the fact that Gianmarco is heterosexual until Matt entered the studio lmao
This is such a great dynamic, I love how all of you connected and brought out the best in each other!
Also, Matt is so beautiful that my brain has to process whenever he comes into frame for the first time.
Also also, I put off listening to this pod for forever and I'm so glad I finally checked it out because I adore Russell already!
Oh, what a crossover!!
Gianmarco, babygirl, respectfully: i am a transmasc on testosterone. I am HAIRY. if i can work out in a binder and shirt, you can wear a shirt.
Working out in a binder sounds hellish 😬
@@nunpho yeaaah sometimes i get a rash if i’m not careful lmao
@@mckennapipher8521 you should try some liquid talc on areas prone to rubbing. That stuff is great
No deadass ✋ I was like, “babe, I’m sure you’ll live. Not to mention he was like “it’s misandrist” 😭 stop right there
Gianmarco! You been in my feed for a while but hosting Matt earned you a subscribe and a new podcast listener.
As soon as Matt said you could work out with your shirt off at the gay hotel gym, I knew what was coming...
This is like the avengers infinity war crossover for lgbt+ theatre kids
Gia Marco AND Matt?!?! I am sooooo here for it.
The irony is being on Lexapro made it EASIER for me to cry. Like if I'm having a tough time and need an outlet, I just put on something like the Green Mile and I just bawl my fucking EYES OUT
I was on a pretty high dose of Prozac for a couple of years and it got me through a really rough time but it also got to the point where I realized one day that if I saw someone get hit by a bus right in front of me my reaction would be "Huh. Will you look at that? What a mess." and then nonchalantly go on about my day and I was like "I need to get off this stuff."
I was needing something light and fun to listen to, and I had put on another podcast by a couple of drag queens who've always been a solid choice when I need frivolous distraction... I had to jump ship 7 minutes in at the mention of going to brunch with Amy Schumer and how much they love her. 🤮🤬😭
I jump over to this one and 4 minutes in "Oh so we can talk about anything?" I feel like there are so many who will not understand why calling out the US-Israel nightmare situation is not mutually exclusive with frivolous distraction, but sigh of relief. Glad to be here. 😊
For the Bret Baier conversation, I think he would be devastated to have the work done be pointed back at him as Gianmarco suggests, but as Matt implies, its important to assure that if that is his choice and he feels hot doing so, he should question the implied shame from having to admit it. I think Matt is getting at the way a lot of people feel about plastic surgery, but also the way shame is so internalized on the right that they make it one of their weapons and cornerstones of their ideology. Whether that be in the form of fire and brimstone fear and hatred or the "we just want to save your soul" type sentiments.
The resounding sighs about Trump winning echo just as loudly now as when you recorded 😅
Please bring Matt back on. This was great.
I’m so happy to be introduced to Matt and deep dive into his work.
I think this’s the first episode of your podcast that I’ve ever seen, I very much enjoyed it! It was refreshing how much you listened to each other’s point of view/mindset; taking the serious moments seriously, while still having fun with the humor. I laughed a lot at the jokes & witty statements that came up, yet the moments inbetween still led to some lovely deeper thought. I gained an increased sense of understanding from my place as a viewer regarding so many of the subjects that came up. It’s difficult to balance that sort of thing as a creator/while having a conversation I’m sure. Y’all seem great at what you do, this was a very good first impression of your podcast. Thanks! Take care^^
Ah those heady pre Donpocalypse days, they are already fading into the stormy sea of my memory. Thanks for the reminder.
Matt is doing such important work! Excited to see whatever this channel is doing, as well!
The convo about Jews and gays is so interesting as a medievalist because medieval anti-semitism included viewing jewish men as weird perverted women. Really fucked up depictions.
But it’s “interesting” in the academic sense to see folks talking centuries later but engaging in some of the cultural differences that could have been what the medieval stereotype may have been attaching to. (Like medieval antisemites noting the “feminine” and using that as an entry point for more antisemitism).
Anyways. it’s a RUclips comment and I’m trying to highlight a connection I made. Hopefully it comes across ahahaha
You are right. In fact when the colonial entity of Israel was established, a large part of their campaign was to make sure Zionism is seen as extremely masculine. And this continues to hold true now as we witness the genocide Israel is committing. There is an intentional effort to suppress the feminine label and display as masculine. And to be clear we should not fall into the Zionist trap of conflating the genocidal actions of Zionists with Jews.
So happy to see Matt in conversation with Gianmarco wooo
Idk you were kinda cooking about the gender affirming care point. It's the hypocrisy to mock lgbtq people (specifically trans people) while simultaneously being absolutely botched in their attempt to achieve their own desired gender presentation. There's still a distinction given that TV is still a performance, but I'm not sure if that detracts or adds to the point overall.
There was a viral thing recently (at least amongst trans people) about a trans person confronting a US religious political figure on gender affirming surgery for trans people and asking them what was different about the top surgery to remove gynecomastia this figure had had when in the Marines. The guy had a brain malfunction when he realised the elephant trap he had fallen into.
This was such a good episode!
Never started jumped on a vid so quickly! Also jfc Matt is so gorgeous I want to cry
i am now a russell stan
This was great...why were the shoes on the couch! 😭😭😭
holding space, as a person in queer media, for Matt Bernstein accidentally going on a heterosexual podcast
not the reverse bait bros podcast 😭
People often confuse uncomfortability and things that are not their norm as meaning something is morally wrong. Because to confront that you dont like something that is not bad requires openness.
44:20 gianmarco slipping in "good to know, I was about to do a whole line" under the radar is why i love him
My fav ketamine description is Katya saying ketamine "feels like youre 3 feet to the left" and its so accurate. Guess it depends on the dose though. Im doing more than tiny bumps
CROSSOVER OF MY DREAMSSSS THAT I NEVER WOULDVE EXPECTED
This episode was awesome. Matt is amazing
Anything you want😂😂😂😂
I’m getting warm 😂😂😂😂
so excited for matt and gianmarco to be together oh my god
Hi from a small town Missouri gay! Thanks for visiting our weird little state.
MY WORLDS ARE COLLIDING, MY WORLDS ARE COLLIDING
I’ve known guys who are certifiably gay but flirt the best with women. Gianmarco’s the flip side of that 😂
this was a greatttt episode!
Its SO recent and yet so many people forget how queerness was treated just 15 yrs ago. Yes things are bad again in many ways but its not what it once was.
Damn what’s up with the hypermobility hate 😭 attacked for no reason
Matt is such a treat! Also did yall know when you say the word subscribe, the button on youtube flashes? I didn't!
"Progressive". The word Gianmarco is searching for instead of "liberal" is "progressive", I think.
It's a good word, controversial in America tho
@@itcouldbelupus2842 Really? Why is it a controversial word? Seriously asking, I am not from the US.
@@anthill1510 the US is very conservative outside of the cities and American conservatives are VERY vocal online, so to a lot of Americans that word is a red flag.
Right wing propaganda in the states is a billion dollar industry.
@@itcouldbelupus2842 Oh so the word is not an incorrect description, it`s just that conservatives get triggered by the word?
@@anthill1510 yeah pretty much.
I don't think the word is or should be controversial but American conservatives will act like it is.
How can he be so successful while being so honest. I guess he's just that good of a person. 22:34
Somewhere, there's a Venn diagram that this episode completed
Gay hotels reminded me of a time when this guy I knew said he went to a Japanese steakhouse with his daughter (at her suggestion), and he was surprised he liked it because she was a lesbian. Because, of course, lesbians like different food...
Welcome to the gun show! I've been a big fan of Matt for awhile now, and somehow I never realized how jacked he is!
This is the best cross over! I loved the discussions y’all had.
my fav episode so far!
yessss i love matt
CROSSOVER OF THE YEAR
Sure we’ll pivot😂😂😂😂
Gianmarco the best comedic tease there is👏👏👏👏❤️
I had a c-section 3 years ago and was uncontrollably anxious, shaky and crying. They gave me ketamine to calm me down, but instead I had this horrible trip where I felt like I was was drowning in paint while also watching myself die on the operating table 😳
56:56 So this wasn't intended as a joke, but the way this made me laugh more as Matt kept going. whewwww very glad I work alone.
RE: Being Jewish and gay, it's so funny hearing about Fire Island being this gay place where you'd ask a straight person why they're even there because my mother, a heterosexual Jewish woman from Long Island, would tell me all about how she went to Fire Island as a kid with her family as a vacation spot.
