#15 A Schizophrenic Love Story with Atsuko Okatsuka (AD-FREE)
Added 2021-05-24 09:00:03 +0000 UTCAtsuko Okatsuka (Let's Go Atsuko!) visits from LA to share the downsides of thinking your grandma is taking you on vacation as a kid from Japan to California only to find out you were actually moving there, schizophrenic moms, being a "nice comedian", and vacationing in the dessert. Gianmarco also tries a new bit with Russell that bombs spectacularly and he spirals about it for the rest of the episode.
Dedicated to the memory of Russell's dog, Hennessy.
ALSO! I've decided (this is Gianmarco) that once we hit 25 patrons I'll start adding videos of the Patreon exclusive episodes and once we hit 50 I'll add videos of EVERYTHING. It's ambitious and will definitely shave years off my life but we're growing steadily, got some great some guests coming up, and I'm delusional. Keep spreading the good word, write us (if you've written already, we'll bring it up on a Patreon exclusive very soon I promise), and stay cynical!!!

I'm also going through the old Patreon eps. You're not alone 😊

2025-07-26 19:52:25 +0000 UTCI feel weird commenting on this very old episode and letting you know officially that weird snoopy people are listening to stuff that you probably thought no one was listening to haha, but I just have to tell you how touching it is to hear Russell talk about his dog. I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out even though the last time I lost a dog was seven years ago, but you can hear his pain and as a dog-loving person I can really relate. I also absolutely love Gianmarco's extremely inappropriate jingle haha, I personally would have started crying immediately upon hearing it, but Russell is such a good sport and it makes it extremely funny. I am a person who usually can cry at EVERY piece of media (I saw Star Wars Episode 3 for the 25th time yesterday and ugly-cried in a cinema), but the Downside usually doesn't do it for me. This one sure did tho :) In summary: thank you Russell for being a loving human, and thanks Gianmarco for riding the edge of humour and making me laugh while crying haha
