I Love You [Redacted] with Jeff Arcuri | The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi  

Glad they could join Gianmarco after he woke up!

I was watching this before bed, and had a dream that Gianmarco did a set at a coffee shop to test jokes. He asked the audience why a particular joke didn’t land with them, and I said, “I think it would hit harder if you removed the last sentence.” And he replied, “wow thank you for telling me how to do my job.” Everyone laughed and I was devastated because I really thought he was asking for a second opinion. At one point he said, “We’ve got a real Hollywood over here.” And I started crying and said, “I’m from Ohio.” And left….. WTF

Gianmarco giving us the thirst trap.

I'm following Jeff acuri on all platforms right now. He's just the sweetest little muffin 😂😚

I really resonate with what gianmarco says about sort of mourning the version of the family you never got, the one that actually gets along. But also haha podcast funny

Recently learned about Jeff and gianmarco, seeing them together is freaking amazing! Love the work guys.

I love Jeff. I watch his shorts at least weekly since being introduced to him here.

I remember when I got diagnosed w ADD, my mom was hesitant to get medicine for me, then in 5th grade my grades went from A/B average to C/D and she got me on concerta (different family from adderall w less side effects) and the concerta worked for me for many years until I was in college and had built up enough resistance that I needed an absurd dose, so they switched me to adderall. At this point I can generally cope w my ADD, it's been a few years since I have taken anything, but I would def be more normal w adderall. I just feel like I only need it when there is something SUPER important that needs a lot of focus. I remember finally getting medicine for the first time though and coming home telling my mom "whoa today was crazy, I could listen to someone and think at the same time, and I could think 2 different sentences at the same time in my head if I tried"

damn, I need to refill my prescription. two days without the AD and Gian Marco's little rant about wasting his childhood made me cry 😀

"pot, kettle" is what I'm guilty of using. but now I'm inspired... I'm gonna yell out "BIRDS!" or "STONES. HOUSES! " and point randomly in the direction of where this "house" is and where the "stones" are coming from.

My 3rd nipple’s gone!!! 🤣 genius analogy. Love your perspective especially as an adult 💯

Funny thing I managed to stump the akinator with you today. It literally had no clue asked the question "is your character into podcasts?" and "are they a standup comedian?" FOUR TIMES!! . The hilarious thing they kept asking if you were into drugs or were fat. I swear it seems lame but you should totally try it. Totally worth every second.

Hahaha I love Jeff even more now knowing how innocent he is in front of his parents. Big crush.

I’m not a drug boy is my new anthem.

1:23:02 after arguing about improper phrases and English for 5 minutes, the dude on the right said “specialy” instead of “especially.” Just made me laugh a little lol

You can definitely tell which arm gianmarco strokes it with

My two favorite comedians together!! 🤌🏻✨

So, your cousins’ kids are technically your first cousins one removed. The removed part refers to removed by a generation. Your cousins’ kids would be second cousins to your children. But you are correct that there’s really no relation at that point lol

At the beginning of every big crochet project, Gianmarco posts a new podcast. Love it

Might be an odd connection, but you should try to get Rick Glassman on as a guest post ADHD diagnosis. Funny, Jewish, and down to talk about getting mental health diagnoses later in life, the perfect storm!

1:03:04 the closed captions are crazy

Two comments (mid listening to this on a way to work :) ) 1. If your father is partially Italian (lets say half), you only can be 25% Italian at best if his family never ever breeded with non Italians. But you need to understand, that we do travel in Europe :D True story. So "pure" Italian herritage is rare even if your whole family lives there for a generations. I mean it takes one grandpa who traveled from Poland to make it 12 %, one grandma whos parents moved from UK to make it 6 % and so on. I mean we mix and match, we do not aspire for a Slytherin 😮 There's no Italians in my family line I know of and yet I have like 4%. It's common, doesn't make the test wrong. Doesn't make your father less Italian too. Btw I found my biological brother I've never heard of with this test last year. That was fun 😅 2. Our friend is a stand up comedian and we asked him to marry us. I mean he can't legally, so he had 15 minutes stand up at the altar right at the ceremony about us. Honestly, best wedding I've ever attended. After his speech, the lady from registry office just jumped in with the essentials, I do, I do, rings, kiss, done in 2 minutes. He sat us down in advance, we talked about our relationship, the history, our family, then we had a chats in separate, talked about each other flaws, weird habits and shit. I guess it's not for everyone to be grilled at his own wedding ceremony, but he did it kind and loving way and obviously included only the things we told him, so no hard feelings. I loved it, everyone laughed so hard, took the pressure of everything.

gianmarco! a little tip about the adderall thing-so recent research suggests that adderall shouldn't be given to anyone above 18 because the side effects get too intense or that it just... isn't as ideal for adults with adhd. instead, they'll put you on either concerta, ritalin, or vyvanse. and these medicines are not really always a one-size fits all so definitely work with your psychiatrist to find which one works best. like what jeff said with his experience, that does happen. though i imagine he'd feel much better if he took something like ritalin or concerta. it's all about how the medicine is compatible with your brain. if you do get diagnosed, i hope it opens up new avenues for you to explore yourself and the way you function. it's a wonderful journey of self love and understanding to go on. but there is also a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to adhd so i would suggest that you keep educating yourself instead of taking anyone's word on it. good luck!

Ironically if it was episode 143, people used to say that was code for I love you

Most professional podcast ever.

My two favorite comedians ❤

2 of my favorite comedians. Life be giving me lemons❤

We’re coming for ya Jerry!

This 36:04 Yep, same has my retention of the few olde English lines of Canterbury Tales ever improved my life

Can't wait to see you at the Wilbur at the end of May, Jeff. Keep it up!

No way you got Jeff on here! Two of my fav comedians

37:13 i did ok in elementary through high school, it was college that really stressed me out, such long classes every single day and only a few classes per semester was just draining, i liked when youd have 7 classes a day or A,B days because it felt like there was more variety. I really don't know how ill get through a bachelors degree to teach elementary school. I guess now they're not requiring a bachelor's degree but i feel like i need to do more than an associates degree to feel like im qualified. I liked Montessori because it was more hands on, regular school was worksheet after worksheet.

First time watching, saw the short for

I had undiagnosed Tourettes for years because multiple psychiatrists didn't bother doing extra work to figure out why I had tics. I thought I had no self control, I was pissed at those doctors when I diagnosed MYSELF. "Oh yeah I guess it is Tourettes..."

Gianmarco is like "we can openly talk about negative things here" then "how Italian are you?" even before Jeff finishes answering how he's doing...then a B line to incest. On the poly/open point, as a Sicilian-American man, I know 0 Italian/Italian-American men in open relationships. Have met 100s of poly people in the community in Cambridge, MA.

Jeff seems like such a good guy

Jeff's subreddit sent me here

Gianmarco explaining the trepedation of diagnosis and regrets of missed opportunities... felt, my guy. Did well enough in school to not get noticed.

top 5 episode

1:16:50 idioms* if they’re still wondering what it’s called

What you guys are describing about your dads is called, “learned helplessness” - I find it to be super common in immigrant dads but it seems it’s a trait that occurs in others as well? For the sake of your partners - I’m glad you’re looking into why this is a thing cause 😮‍💨.

Someone at the dor: "Damn, I gotta put on some clothes!". In front of hundreds of thousands of people online: "I'm fine like this, noone's here".

Omg😮, My paternal grandfather left my grandmother for another woman, too!! They never had kids, but he married her before divorcing my grandmother. And HE was ITALIAN!😂😂😂😂

Milano il primo novembre!!! II must be there!

I just realized this is the guy with the R Kelly ephebophile joke, lol

Right onboard with Jeff's 'thishasgottastop'. Like what're you a fuckin dog whisperer? And also people just saying "stooop it_____(pet name), and wondering why they don't fucking stop the thing. They know their name (maybe). They don't (probably) know 'stop it' unless you trained it.

I have like 100 first cousins, my grandma was one of 13.. I maybe know ten of them lol I just stay away from Italians to be safe 🤣🤣🤣😅

Russell fighting to not fall asleep at 20:23

I love you too! [NOT redacted] You know, _just_ in case you honestly needed to hear it? 🤗💕💕

I really enjoy Jeffs and Gianmarcos comedy styles. They should have they fame that douche canoe matt rife has.

@31:03 The Kentucky Fried Movie

1:07:20 wtf is this sitting pose 😂 gianmarco is a power bottom absolutely

I also have an uncommon last name. Especially for my state.

"I'm not a drug boy!!"

First cousin, once removed

Why is gianmarco in his undies?😂

A-shirt

just call them beaters. No one cares about those shirts but its comfy

He look so- lol

You didn’t edit out “You’re a whore 😠” 😂

Doesn't everyone have an uncle named David?

@DutchDude90 and @DavidHHH99 it's not even summer yet, Imagine the attire during what will be the global-warming-sponsored NY scorcher this is summer 2023, this will be great - eyes are peeled...respectfully of course.

Ok not to be that person but ive seen every episode of sex and the city and i do not remember Paul Rudd being in any of them. Ron Livingston however, was. He played Berger and lost his mind over a scrunchie.

Jeff destroyed Andrew Schultz career.

I'll join the patreon when you drop the ads

Walter White vibes

Redacts? Are we homeless over here papi?????

The urge I have to sniff gianmarcos feet

I think your cousins kid is your first cousin once removed, but that shit is all confusing. It took a century of inbreeding to get a mentally challanged (among other things) kid. As long as no second cousins is the rule youd be fine lol. But two people with bad genes, like overweight, bad heart, poor lungs, or shitty septum or any other thing who werent related would probably result in worse off spring than 2 fit healthy first cousins lol.

Ick not Steph Pappas 🫢

How tired are your arms after holding a mic for an entire podcast??

Paul Rudd was never in sex and the city what are you talking about

jeffs ex sounds like she has borderline personality disorder

The downside would be a good podcast name for people with Down Syndrome.

Honestly have no fucking idea who Justin Theroux is. Just googled him and I still have no idea who he is? Never seen him in any role.
