Caleb Pressley | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #686
Eight hours after it went up, episode #686 of This Past Weekend had close to 286,000 views. That puts it on course for roughly ten times what a new Theo Von upload usually gathers in its first day. It has also almost caught "what's even going on?", the busiest of the channel's smaller uploads from the past week, which has had five days to get there.
The guest explains much of it. Caleb Pressley, the deadpan interviewer behind "Sundae Conversation," is billed as returning, and the two have clearly done this before. The description lists three topics: why Pressley lives in a Florida retirement community, "the ascension of Glenny Balls," and what happened behind the scenes at the DJ set the pair played at Stagecoach, the country music festival in the California desert.
The comments read less like reviews and more like a petition. Again and again, viewers ask for the two to appear together monthly or weekly, or to start a show of their own, and one suggests calling it "This Past Sundae." Others swap favorite lines, such as a remark about going on a run with a hand, and point out how often Pressley's "good to see you" comes back over the two hours. One viewer wonders whether Theo is still sending Caleb his clothes. Another says they once met Pressley and Glenny on a flight to New York.
The last episode we covered belonged to Joey Diaz, as we reported here. This time, the friend from the Stagecoach booth set the pace.
