Hey Bottoms!!!! Thank you for being here, watching this amazing episode, face down and bottom up as I've instructed you to do. Wow, sorry, did I just say that? Whoops! I'm trying to cultivate more positivity and also more fun discussion in these comment sections. With that, here are some thoughts before you comment: -- Let's keep it positive! If you see something you think is cool, boost that person! Or maybe you have an interesting POV, let us know, and let's support the people who share cuz sharing is scary, vulnerable, and hard! I think by boosting positivity we can keep this community a kind place where we can all interact sanely. -- If I do see bullying or negativity, misinformation, or pile ons, I will delete a comment or a full thread to ensure a good vibe always. -- If you have criticism of me, I am of course open to it (I have learned a ton from people reaching out to me). My IG DMs and Discord DMs are 100% open and I read them! Please write to me in a way you would want to be written to if receiving criticism. I am a human being and I engage a LOT with my subscribers, patrons, etc. For my sanity, and honestly if you really want anyone to be open to change, it's nice when we can communicate in a way that facilitates back and forth, growth, self-reflection etc. I often find when people reach out thoughtfully we both learn a lot more than I learn from hate comments. So if learning is your goal, DM me, if it's to let off some steam, you may find that I've deleted your comment.
🤣face down bottom up. Sorry to hear there was some negativity. I also agree with you if people are respectful of one another we are more open, and that we can learn from each other.
her calling the word a chav a slur is such an overreaction. it's not a synonym of trashy, it's quite a specific way to describe a person, place, or clothing style, but a slur it is not, as a Brit, I promise you don't need to overthink it.
Having seen the Chosen Family pod, I was WAITING FOR THIS! The fact that Ashley was questioning if Anna was flirting! 😂😂😂 Ashley… come on you know! The chemistry between you two is hot and needs a to be continued!!! I watch every week and this episode is ELECTRIC!!! So here for it! 😘🥰😘🥰🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈😊
the last like 20 episodes have been super inspiring and funny and impactful for me, i just want to say thanks as a long time listener for still doing this pod ashley. theres weekly listeners like me who really deeply appreciate it, more than youll ever know!
I'm a few episodes behind on WHGS but when I saw the guest name notif I immediately clicked to listen because I thought it would be interesting (and I was right). 5 mins into listening I made the incredible decision of changing to video format. The humor, the flirting, the tension, the throwback names. I LOVED THIS EPISODE 🔥
I’ve been waiting to see this episode (Chosen Family Peeps get it! Lol) just to see Ashley be all simpey & adorable w/ a hot femme bottom. Lol this is slowly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. Also, I’ve never felt more seen than when Anna said “I can switch…I can top…but I don’t want to.” I love topping w/ men, but with women, I wanna be the bottom because I’m ‘the top’ in every other aspect of my life being a professional human w/ a husband & tiny human.
OMG! I remember Gabe and Stevie talking about this years ago 😂 I'm sure their video is still up somewhere. Also Stevie Boebie would be a great guest on the pod!
I just love Anna and follow her also and this video was just fantastic and this is just one of your guests I really looked forward to seeing and thank you so much for bringing her to us
I remember watching stevie's video about this threesome ages ago lmaoo. Ashley if you read this you should definitely go watch it, it's so funny . Finding out Anna was the third girl in an Ashley Gavin podcast is crazy defo a throwback moment I did not expect
Anna talking about her coming out experience made something click in my brain (suddenly I'm remembering all those movies I've had a weird connection with and it makes sense) so I just wanted to thank you both for this episode, it was great
as a swiftie, i looooved that lmao. also i feel like she's been out for quite a while now, back in 2012 she did an interview where she said she's interested in dating both men and women so....
Oh I was so excited to see what this chemistry was like and you def undersold it on chosen family haha VERY flirty vibes. Also I get so excited every time I remember you’re a Gaylor lol it feels so obvious
For anyone wondering chav stands for council house and violent (a council house is government provided housing) and is usually used in a derogatory way against working class people - I wouldn’t expect an American to know that tho 😅 there’s actually a book that goes into more detail about classism in the UK called CHAVS by Owen Jones. I really enjoyed this episode! I’ve been watching Anna since I was a kid and I’m also from Edinburgh!
Where I'm from in the North of England it can also be used just to describe how someone looks if all they wear is tracksuits or jogging bottoms and trainers (sneakers) or women who use too much spray tan, again it is a class thing. I had no idea it was an acronym either.
Idk how common goverment housing is in the UK, but in Finland, that acronym would give 'just got out of jail and would stab someone from resentment' kind of vibe. It's not just poor housing, it's poor who can't be trusted.
As someone in the UK and even grew up in a council house, while I knew it was classist ofc I had no idea it was an acronym 😭 I always associated it with like.. Little Britain type of lower class.
here after the Chosen Family ep, looking for the vibes. And honestly, there weren't vibes from her until about halfway through. But then - YOWZA. The last 15-20 minutes it was just like you could cut the UST with a knife. Day-am!
That's not why Jenna Marbles left TH-cam. It was because a few of her earlier videos had some questionable content. She gave a heartfelt apology and went on hiatus.
I thought it was because George Floyd was killed and she wanted to do something with herr psychology degree to help people, and not be making money off her privilege.
@@raapyna8544i haven't heard this perspective before, did she say this? I definitely missed it! I respect her even more though if that's the case. Man, I love that woman
I kind of took a summer break from watching (because i was traveling and being with people 24/7) but this episode brought me right back in!! As a long time fan of anna aswell as gabe and stevie i had to get more details on the story ^^ and also i loved seeing you guys's energy together ❤ Looking forward to catching up with all the episodes i missed!
this is such a great episode!!! it makes me feel like you should try to get Hazel Hayes on the show!!! (or that we the viewer should) she is: really good friends with Anna, was in scotland with her for the fringe - Irish bisexual femme in a blazer - social media following - brilliant writer & director currently promoting her second novel - generally a lovely chat, adorable laugh, super hot etc etc i could go on
As a British person, let me explain the whole chav thing. It was amusing to hear you describe it as a slur as it absolutely is not and Ashley you were completely okay using it! It is a very very common word used HOWEVER this tends to be only with the younger generation. I have found that people kind of over 35ish see it is as very offensive (similarly to the c word) so depending on this women’s age she may have seen as offensive Also just an add on I loved this episode, one of my new favs for sure, it was interesting to watch Ashley without a co-host and for me personally I found it a lot easier to engage and indulge into - I have slow audio processing so with three people sometimes find it hard to stay on track with what is being said
When Taylor said she was going to focus on female friendships and then was surprised when everyone was like "Gaylor" I was like "oh, I think she might be straight" bc if she was into women she would have been really worried about showing affection for her female friends. But also I think she's probably had more wlw experiences than I have. 😂
ok i’d like to point out an inaccuracy around 8:10, jenna marbles very clearly stated that her reason for leaving the internet was bc of a recent uptick in response to a lot of her earlier offensive content (blackface, insensitive jokes with harmful stereotypes) and that she was not a part of what she wanted the internet to be, which was a place where minorities could share content and have a voice. to minimize it all to some obscure thing about pet care critique is incorrect. it’s important to learn from her hiatus and correct these kind of infractions moving forward
hearing chav referred to as a slur is hilarious but yeah it's pretty much always derogatory. you can use it for yourself or your friends but only as a joke and only if you at least loosely count as 'council housed'. the acronym is 'Council-Housed And Violent' for anyone wondering
So the story about chav being an acronym (for Council House And Violent, council houses being social housing provided by the local government) is commonly believed, but generally rejected by etymologists and linguists It's also sometimes said to be from Chatham or "Chatham average" (because of a supposed reputation of people from Chatham) is also generally rejected The most commonly accepted etymology by etymologists and linguists is that it, ultimately, comes from Romani (often called "gypsy", but that is often considered a slur) where chavvy means "friend", chavi means "male child", and chavo means "female child". Similar borrowing exist in Spanish (chaval(o) in Spain or chavo in Mexico both meaning "boy" or "youth"), Swedish (tjej "girl"), Russian (chuvak "guy"), & Hungarian (csávó "boy") * I don't think the word is generally considered a *slur* here per se, but it would certainly be considered pretty derogatory and classist (at least when not used as a self-identity). It's also worth noting that we're much more aware of class dynamics in the UK than Americans in the US are (for many historical reasons, such as still having a literal monarchy & aristocracy, but also because without legal segregation on racial grounds, capitalism had to create a sufficiently precarious underclass through other means), so we're generally more sensitive to classism than Americans would be If the person on the app knows you're American she probably just bristled a bit hearing it, but like Anna said, will likely just assume you don't fully understand the implications. I wouldn't worry too much * Historically Romani has been a pretty big source of slang terms in the UK. Marginalised groups tend to associate with each other more, so Polari (the "secret language" of gay men in England that existed largely due to the former criminalisation of homosexuality and so is now largely extinct) had huge amounts of vocabulary drawn from Romani, Yiddish, and Italian (the latter brought over largely by circus workers). Lots of Polari words then got adopted into mainstream British English in particular due to the comedian Kenneth Williams and his radio show "Round the Horne". Some Polari words that have entered mainstream English (mostly only British English): - Bevvy "(alcoholic) drink" - Butch "masculine" - Camp "exagegerated in an intentionally bad-taste way" - Clobber "clothes" - Cod "bad" - Cottaging "having sex in public toilets" - Dish "handsome man" - Drag "clothes" (later of course costume worn in a drag performance) - Khazi "toilet" - Manky "gross" - Meat and two veg "cock and balls" - Mincing "walking flamoyantly" - Naff "dull, awful, boring, rubbish, heterosexual" - Nark "narc" (possibly directly into English from Romani where it originall meant "nose", unconnected to American "narc" despite the same sense of "police informant", note that Polari mostly having been spoken in and around London would not have pronounced the r) - Ogle "look" (later of course "leer with sexual desire") - Scarper "run away" - Slap "makeup" - Todd "alone" - Zhoosh "spruce up" (originally "style hair")
This is interesting. As a masc presenting lesbian now, everyone was surprised when I came out. Not a single person saw it coming in my case. And I’m pretty butch. Still I was told it’s a phase at first. I was 21 when I came out as bi then 24 as lesbian.

We all saw this coming, but like WOW the tension when she doesn’t have a third person to bounce off of!
Yep she said she would say yes, sounds like an invitation to shoot your shot.
Been waiting for this 😂
watching this like “When’s it gonna come up that Ashley will do anything for a femme in a blazer?” lmaooo
