Loved this episode and seeing you become friends! Just a little comment: I sort of miss the intros with identities and pronouns. I know why you stopped, but it does genuinely help understanding where everyone is coming from and definitely breaks the gay ice, which is sometimes helpful if the banter up top isn't specifically gay and you don't know each other before or even aren't sure what identities to reveal as a guest and potentially call back to later with your stories. It's obviously your decision, I just wanted to let you know that there are some people who do like it.
22:36 the reporter happened to be a queer person who was on shannon's (exes and o's) and talked about the situation from their perspective in one of the early episodes..
The Maddies first kiss idea is so good. As a person who is very similar to Maddie (pansexual demisexual genderqueer person) it would be awesome to have that kind of representation and that couching from you ❤
Omg, you should absolutely interview celebs on the red carpet! That would be hilarious 😂 They have all kinds of people there from tiktokers to journalists, MUAs, TH-camr's etc. You are a successful queer comedian tiktok/youtuber lol Definitely keep an eye out for any promos/premieres for queer movies and/or shows. Maybe an upcoming comedy you might like? So you being there doesn't feel so random and it gives you some material to start with, because it's not like you're going to be asking about dress designers and eyeshadow lol
I fall asleep to your videos. I come back the next night to rewatch and don't remember most of it. I appreciate it a lot. I feel like this needs an explanation, but sleep is good haha. Appreciate it a lot. Something about how this pod just makes me relax.
Honestly I think there are more people than you’d think who experiment with their gender and go back to feeling comfortable as a woman. We live in a misogynistic society where being a woman isn’t exactly rewarded so it makes sense that we’d want to explore other identities to explain our nonconformity and discomfort in our skin
And to add to that, I have a few enby friends who have found a new love for presenting as their birth gender when they did away with genders. It sounds odd, and a few of them could describe it better that I did, but there's a freedom in no longer feeling forced to conform and they know that they are *choosing* to dress that day.
100 percent!! Everyone is different and gender roles are traumatic for a lot of us. I totally went from uncomfortable young girl, to millennial genderqueer, to now a very comfortable nonconforming woman! I’ll always feel like I don’t belong in a stereotypical formal box, but that specific box is also becoming less and less culturally significant, so my “dysphoria” lessens each day as attitudes on gender shift on a large scale.
@@ripley2995 YES I went through the same thing, I identified for nonbinary for many years in my 20s and now I am "just" a woman and honeslty I don't love sharing my pronouns now because I feel like when I say "she/her" some people hear "My gender is simple, I love my gender, I love feminine stereotypes, I am actively embracing this!" when really it's just like, there are so many ways to be a woman and not everthing is about gender, just let me live as a lesbian!
Honestly, I agree with Mari about the Billie Eilish 'outing'. She was liking and posting queer content as 'me'. If you're explicitly claiming the title or making the comparison, I don't think it really counts as outing if somebody asks for clarity. That was information she'd already put out there. I still feel for her, but just as she was saying that coming out was outdated and unnecessary, she lost 100K followers overnight for it.
You're coming to Europe! Check out Welsh gold! Ethically mined, different colour (it's kinda pinkish). Clogau Gold have some gorgeous designs with silver mixed in. Everyone has different tastes. I hope you find something that's meaningful to you both
I love the concept of " Maddie's First Kiss" As a 31yo bi-demisexual woman who's only ever been on one date (that was bad w/ a man) sounds like my kind of dating show
I have been thinking that reality TV is dumb since first seeing the commercials for Road Rules, and I've never watched a single one, but I would watch Maddie's First Kiss Island or w/e. For you.
MADDIES FIRST KISS💋 ❤ 10/10 would watch and be 100% supportive if she ended up kissing no one. Side note: Maddie- do for all the bisexuals who didn't realize they loved the ladies too until after they were married!!! 😅 It's too late for me, but you still have time!!! 🎉🎉🎉
What the heck - why is Mari's gender story the exact same as mine?!? And my name is also Marie?? :D Also, Ashley, do the red carpet interviews! It will be amazing!
I actually 100% am with Maddie in the "but wait maybe I have a difficult relationship with being a woman because that's being a woman". But hey. Who knows, maybe I wont be cis in a few years. If that happens Ill come back here to this comment 😂
If I had a nickel every time a podcast I follow started to pitch a kind of dating show as a joke and then gets serious about it, I’d have 2 nickles, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I would LOVE to see Maddie's first kiss. I also think I'm bi/pan but too scared to date women and contrary to Maddie don't have any queer friends to push me and I think a lot of people would relate
Didn’t know of Mari before but huge respect to Mari for trying to get covid info out on this unfortunately minimizing platform! I wish you didn’t cut out what she said about working remote. And I’m happy she brought up long covid as it’s much more common for queer people and millions of queer people are becoming needlessly disabled! Fantastic job. Will be on the lookout for her projects.
The Billie sitch wasn’t as said. The interviewer who’s gay had interviewed her prior and Billie came out to her. On the carpet they met again and Billie ended up swaying the conversation that way and after must have felt some regret and then said “I was outed” made no sense
I think they’re all a waste of money-why would you spend money so much money at that, on one single item? Rather than just travel the world or something so much better. Has never made sense to me
Engagement rings are absolutely a scam designed by the diamond industry (specifically DeVere, I think? Might have mis-remembered the name) BUT it's nice to have an occasion to get your favourite person a fancy jewellery, if it's something they would like. Just not 3months' salary. We're not out here selling our kidneys
Ash design your own ring. I got promise rings for my ex and me and I had the insides engraved. The sizes were off and she doesn't like rings and she left me soon after. She wanted the ring but i guess she also wanted some old guy at work. Like way old. Inappropriate old. It's what she wanted so thats what she's got now. 😂😂😂
Geez ill kiss Maddie . Let's do this. Damn ill even let y'all record it. then we can get on with her journey. Come to Illinois and we'll take care of this.
LOL. I always find it so baffling when I hear people who are against "blood" diamonds. They seem to forget how their phones and electric cars are made. As if their phones aren't made of conflict minarels.
I think it’s one more thing I can buy sustainably. I always try to thrift and buy second hand. I’m a vegetarian. When I do buy clothes I try to do so from sustainable providers. I’m not perfect but it’s one more thing I can do 🤷🏻♀️ and I think unlike a lot of the things I’m forced to do (like own a phone for my career), I definitely do not NEED a blood diamond.
Are you back on home soil already ?? Nevermind, I just saw your upcoming schedule….Dublin, next stop ☘️Some of my favorite toppings…whipped cream and sprinkles…not the kind of sprinkles MainMain Jen got 🤍🤍🤍
Maddie’s first kiss. Can’t wait 🫦🫦🫦
maddie not knowing that being gender fluid is super possible and also very queer and valid is a journey we’re all on

We didn't intentionally stop I'm just being sloppy. I'll work on it!

"glorious nations of bottoms, it is your top..."
This will never fail to make me resort to my bottom nature *blushes*
The Maddies first kiss idea is so good. As a person who is very similar to Maddie (pansexual demisexual genderqueer person) it would be awesome to have that kind of representation and that couching from you ❤
You need a diamond ring with a backwards baseball hat on it 😂
How is Mari's face so perfect? I want their whole vibe. I will be wearing my jean jacket nonstop for sure.
Omg, you should absolutely interview celebs on the red carpet! That would be hilarious 😂 They have all kinds of people there from tiktokers to journalists, MUAs, TH-camr's etc.
You are a successful queer comedian tiktok/youtuber lol

Also, lol was a jeweler- if you have any questions ❤
Ooh, lil gay speed dating show starring 🌟 Maddie 🌟
I would binge the whole season of Maddie's first kiss in a day!❤
I fall asleep to your videos. I come back the next night to rewatch and don't remember most of it. I appreciate it a lot.
I feel like this needs an explanation, but sleep is good haha. Appreciate it a lot.
Something about how this pod just makes me relax.
hear me out - Renee Rapp as a guest on this podcast.
Honestly I think there are more people than you’d think who experiment with their gender and go back to feeling comfortable as a woman.

😊
obsessed with this show already 💪
The show (Maddie's First Kiss) sounds interesting to me - realised I was a lesbian almost four years ago and still haven't dated a woman 😂
Same. I'm like, can I join? lmao
Can you please have ER Fightmaster on the pod!?
This is dangerous cuz Maddie is my hallpass 😂
You're coming to Europe! Check out Welsh gold! Ethically mined, different colour (it's kinda pinkish). Clogau Gold have some gorgeous designs with silver mixed in.
Everyone has different tastes. I hope you find something that's meaningful to you both
Workers of this McDonald's are currently checking their surveillance cameras 😂
Ehrmagerd Maddie's bangs look so cute with the eyes today
I'm so here for Maddie's First Kiss!
36:46 We got engaged last month! Her ring is a cool band with opal in it. Mine is a traditional classic look with Edwardian filigree
I love the concept of " Maddie's First Kiss"
As a 31yo bi-demisexual woman who's only ever been on one date (that was bad w/ a man) sounds like my kind of dating show
I remember Mari from Drunk Lesbians watch, with Amanda! Love her since then!
Same! 😀
Omg I miss drunk lesbians watch sooooo much I didn’t realize that was her
Please!!! Maddy is the gate for all of us wlw who want to date women to walk through !! Mari produce it!

Maddie's First Kiss LETS GOOOOOOO‼️
Dating is scary for me bc I haven't done it since I left an abusive relationship
hope you're doing well!
Great episode and Mari was so lovely
i would definitely watch maddies first kiss, would love a show like that!
"Love lies bleeding " was a good movie , kristin steward.
I'm late to the party, but I would be SO down for maddie's first kiss. It's another wholesome dating show like love on the spectrum or cut
Hi where do I apply for casting 😅
Maddies First Kiss! aslong as they are comfortable with it, absolutely!
I have been thinking that reality TV is dumb since first seeing the commercials for Road Rules, and I've never watched a single one, but I would watch Maddie's First Kiss Island or w/e. For you.
I also just got into reality shows with queer ultimatum and have only also seen a season of love is blind been so distracted WONDERING ABOUT THE CUPS.
Oh my paws, yes! Maddie's First Kiss!
And now Spider Masc Spider Masc does whatever a woman can, friendly countryside Spider MASC! Ahaha great riff Maddie

gosh hate to be thirsty but i’d do anything to be maddie’s first kiss. maddie is gorgeous! if u see this maddie i love your nails omg
MADDIES FIRST KISS💋 ❤ 10/10 would watch and be 100% supportive if she ended up kissing no one.
Side note: Maddie- do for all the bisexuals who didn't realize they loved the ladies too until after they were married!!! 😅 It's too late for me, but you still have time!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Hear me out, I really want love is blind for lesbians. You can set it up like the circle where everyone has their own apartment.
I would binge watch tf out that show
I think as speak for everyone here when I say we all want to see Maddie's first kiss!
I googled Catherine McCafferty and the internet is saying she’s 62! No way Jose!
I’ve seen these hella cute wedding bands taht say til death on them I need those
this episode was sponsored by fingering. and yes I would 100% watch Maddie's show. I relate a lot to Maddie. Dating is hard.
Crazy how similar Ashley and the guest look
What the heck - why is Mari's gender story the exact same as mine?!? And my name is also Marie?? :D
Also, Ashley, do the red carpet interviews! It will be amazing!
Definitely BOTH!
Not glorious bottoms 😅 yall just got promoted 😂
Mari is incredibly cute.
I actually 100% am with Maddie in the "but wait maybe I have a difficult relationship with being a woman because that's being a woman". But hey. Who knows, maybe I wont be cis in a few years. If that happens Ill come back here to this comment 😂
That sounds like Ziwe on a red carpet, the carpet will redder, but also blacker, than ever
God bless Alex 👍🏼
and ambiguity.
Ilana Glazer on the pod (copy & paste) to all ash gavs vids 😅
RE Gay Thought
In addition to Maddie's first kiss, it would be incredible to see a show where a newly out trans person tries finds love.
If I had a nickel every time a podcast I follow started to pitch a kind of dating show as a joke and then gets serious about it, I’d have 2 nickles, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Can you get Jordan Jensen on🙏
Please consider me as your first contestant for Maddie's First Kiss. I am an experienced pansexual with a lot of love for intimacy therapy. 😊
can we get hannah on the pod 👀
Yes of course! We have 3 Hannah episodes also I believe
I would LOVE to see Maddie's first kiss. I also think I'm bi/pan but too scared to date women and contrary to Maddie don't have any queer friends to push me and I think a lot of people would relate
Didn’t know of Mari before but huge respect to Mari for trying to get covid info out on this unfortunately minimizing platform! I wish you didn’t cut out what she said about working remote. And I’m happy she brought up long covid as it’s much more common for queer people and millions of queer people are becoming needlessly disabled! Fantastic job. Will be on the lookout for her projects.
The Billie sitch wasn’t as said. The interviewer who’s gay had interviewed her prior and Billie came out to her. On the carpet they met again and Billie ended up swaying the conversation that way and after must have felt some regret and then said “I was outed” made no sense
parasocial comment for the algorithm
also i kinda thing engagement rings are a scam, my girlfriend and I are just gonna do wedding rings
I think they’re all a waste of money-why would you spend money so much money at that, on one single item? Rather than just travel the world or something so much better. Has never made sense to me
Engagement rings are absolutely a scam designed by the diamond industry (specifically DeVere, I think? Might have mis-remembered the name)
BUT it's nice to have an occasion to get your favourite person a fancy jewellery, if it's something they would like. Just not 3months' salary. We're not out here selling our kidneys
Ash design your own ring. I got promise rings for my ex and me and I had the insides engraved. The sizes were off and she doesn't like rings and she left me soon after. She wanted the ring but i guess she also wanted some old guy at work. Like way old. Inappropriate old. It's what she wanted so thats what she's got now. 😂😂😂
Geez ill kiss Maddie . Let's do this. Damn ill even let y'all record it. then we can get on with her journey. Come to Illinois and we'll take care of this.
fingering is definitely both… like cmon the fingers are there in the folds regardless
Ahhhh Im an 11/11 baby too!!!!!
I am a tomboy transwoman so Im basically easy mode for a bisexual. cast me
also fingering is just any use of the fingers. Being a dj is not about just plugging the cord
😎😃😊😜😍😘💖🌹 Mattie is looking so hot.
Maddie, gender fluid is an option.
LOL. I always find it so baffling when I hear people who are against "blood" diamonds. They seem to forget how their phones and electric cars are made. As if their phones aren't made of conflict minarels.
I think it’s one more thing I can buy sustainably. I always try to thrift and buy second hand. I’m a vegetarian. When I do buy clothes I try to do so from sustainable providers. I’m not perfect but it’s one more thing I can do 🤷🏻♀️ and I think unlike a lot of the things I’m forced to do (like own a phone for my career), I definitely do not NEED a blood diamond.

Did Alex do something? Because that wasn’t funny either way.
Are you back on home soil already ?? Nevermind, I just saw your upcoming schedule….Dublin, next stop ☘️Some of my favorite toppings…whipped cream and sprinkles…not the kind of sprinkles MainMain Jen got 🤍🤍🤍
