Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge
Comedian Jes Tom joins us to share why they can never play Phantom in Phantom of the Opera (too good looking), why Joe & The Juice is the best place to throw up, what happened to all the public nudity in San Francisco, and helping a Hasid buy a c*ck cage at sex shop. Gianmarco and Russell also defend the new couches’ size and share the downsides of auditioning for musicals BECAUSE WE DON’T CARE IF YOU THINK WE TALK ABOUT THEATER TOO MUCH.

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.🎤

Why is the couch a sensitive subject? It’s funny.
Isn't the sex toy you talk in the end called a flashlight? The one that is too big to be called a pocket pussy
Emetophobia warning: starts at "gonorrhea medicine, ends at 13:20
also somebody throws up on the Subway in a later story from Russell near the end
Despite the name of the episode, not many trigger moments
1:07:07 The hard cut from “have you used cock rings?” To Gianmarco’s 😮 was perfect
1:18:29 this is why you NEVER go to the police. Help people by asking if they’re okay and if there’s no response, find medical help. Find people medical help, never get the police, as that only puts people in more danger. That being said I can empathize with what you did Russel and I appreciate you trying to help and do the right thing. I hope you can be kind and compassionate with yourself about that ❤️🩹🫶
I had to explain to my gf what "knowing someone in the biblical sense meant" and yes Christians are horny and hypocritical as hell about sex. I don't get it, it's very weird. I was a former Christian and there were many youth leaders in their 20s who were married early and bragged about their hott wife as a "reward"
I can’t find any episodes with Leah Lamarr? The queen of clubhouse. Could you try and get her on before next week. She SLAYS queen.!!!
Looking forward to the field trip to Babeland on a future podcast! 😂😂😂
theatre from another weiner 👍🏼
Paisano
Are you rocking your gf’s uggs
Wtf bro
Hahahahaha
Wait what?
Just to throw out there you were on gonorrhea meds
Props for being so transparent
I’m not trying to be that douchy fan that comes to the stars aid
But
There’s no way this Wop is hacky
Dude is by far one of the funniest consistent comedians I ever seen
But then again
It’s all preference
Not everyone likes a master piece
Keep it up Wop
If you go to Tokyo then try check out the sex shops there. They are so much different to American or “Western” world ones. An enjoyable normal experience.
Re: Jes' story, sex for queer people can be the one moment of freedom in a life of being aware of what other people might be thinking – it makes sense that's when you are expressive
As a public nudist in San Francisco, I can guarantee you that public nudity is still legal at Bay to Breakers. In fact, public nudity is legal at any city-sanctioned event in San Francisco. The only difference between now and 10 years ago is that there is now a public nudity ban for any other time or place without a permit. However, men can (and do) still legally walk around naked with something covering their cock.
I think the og soul cycle rant episode was one of the first downside episodes I watched. And as soon as I heard Gianmarco say "I'm happy to hash it out again" I burst out laughing 😂😂
This was… really educational… wow
Came for the dick cage ending (FOUND NONE >:[ )
Stayed for the self-reflection and emotional maturity
Guys… You're being so silly. All you've gotta say is "no homo" and the couch size is no longer an issue. 🪄
I can't tell if you are making fun of Matt Rife or if you support him
not enough complaining this podcast. please whine and discuss petty misery more!
I was up until recently a closeted former theater kid, but god damn it, you've reawakened it in me.
30:19 i relate so much to the experience of feeling better singing since my voice dropped from being on T
This has gotta stop: calling the segment "count your blessing" not "count your blessings". If there is only one blessing, why do you need to count it?
“Supermarket ladies! Why don’t you feel safe!?” – Naked Gianmarco circa 2023 (probably) 🤣
I don't know anything about theatre (my favorite musical is HSM– and that was on DVD), but I love hearing you guys's talk about theatre! It's fascinating how knowledgable you all are on the topic and to hear your critiques and comments that go beyond the casual. Feels like free access to whatever the musical theatre/comedic equivalent of JSTOR is
This has gotta stop: Theater folks not understanding that I get a mic in my face once every decade. You'll have to forgive me for not knowing exactly how they work. I'm not sitting here on my too small couch with a mic once a week
All i learned is that Gianmarco is trying to make all our noses bleed from looking at him. I approve 😍
