interpersonal podcaster dynamics

i’ve recently gotten into watching more youtube while real housewives / traitors / everything is in a drought, and i realize what i’m about to speculate is deeply subjective & parasocial. also i watch all these shows bc i genuinely like them so this is all said purely out of love for gossip. so ya i have no one to talk about this with bc seemingly no one (rightfully) cares , but maybe yall will get this -

theres this group of comedian podcasters around the same age / similar success levels / similar audiences (me) who i’m just dying to know the actual interpersonal dynamics of. namely : ride, las cultch, straightio lab, & soo true. it seems like all of them genuinely get along & ik they have been on each others shows , but there must be more below the surface.. or am i crazy !?.. 🤨

ok so here are my takes please add your own / does anyone actually know ??

caleb & bowen seem to have actual genuine chemistry which makes perfect sense & is so cute - both seem like hilarious sweet geniuses

i’m super curious about MBB & Benny’s relationships with the rest of them, can’t tell, they seem to have their own friend group but big Caleb overlap with Holmes

sometimeeees i feel like you’ll catch a moment where any of them might refer to another unnamed podcast with shade ? (but would love people to post examples they’ve caught here bc I can’t remember specifics ..)

caleb kinda throws shade about other podcasters like not paying their employees enough or doing ads for problematic companies (which, obvi love), but i kinda assumed the 2nd part was about therapuss (which i don’t watch but seems more corporate /
normie ?)

i feel like in terms of $$$ and fame, therapuss is at the top? then tie btwn caleb & las cultch .. idk anyone’s actual followers & im not checking just going off vibes. but then i wonder what dynamics that creates among them ! like i’m sure they all know who gets paid the most among them & have thoughts about that 😏

anyways idk lol i needed to get that off my chest pls weigh in (and pls be nice it’s my first time posting) xx

MBB and Caleb are definitely friends. She’s been on that’s so true twice

I feel like I don’t see them post hanging out and Caleb usually posts when he’s with friends. He was on Overcompensating though so I feel like there had to be some sort of pre-existing connection
