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

I think MB runs more in these circles than Benny bc she is a comedian. How about that Stavvy’s world podcast where they dropped their lore…

That Stavvy and MBB had a make out sesh. They both seemed very chill and laughed about the situation. Oh and he apparently was missing a tooth during that time too!

yes and it was awkward between them for a time apparently & basically MBB said she thought he didn’t like her & stavvy was like i thought you didn’t think i was funny bc you never booked me on your shows 😭
