Rachel Ballinger is a Barrel-Aged Gay | Gay Comedy Series | We’re Having Gay Sex Podcast

[@VictorVonGrooove]

I remember watching a video with Rachel in it like 5 - 6 years ago and I was like.. she's NOT gay? I don't believe it! VINDICATION! Gaydar still working fabulously.

[@kaiaswrld]

I used to watch Miranda a LONGG time ago and i watched a few vids of Rachel back then too and I swore she was gay. I was like 10 at the time and hadn’t come out yet but then I stopped watching their family for awhile, started watching again in like 2019 and I was so confused when Rachel came out because I literally thought she had been gay for a long time🤣

[@knemetz80]

Same thought! But we run into these women all the time and I just think to myself "we'll be here when you're ready".

[@snarlysulk]

I really thought she was bi,but dating a guy (wich doesn't make you less gay,there's a B in LGBTQIA!!) I'm glad that she is happy now,that the stupid f*ckface is gone,and she has someone sweet,caring,etc.

[@VictorVonGrooove]

@@snarlysulk I'm glad it didn't end up with her getting hurt! That kind of shit can go sideways real fast.

[@HLB313]

ME TOO, she’s EXACTLY the same variety of gay as me and that had me so confused because I had already spotted she had ADHD too and it made no sense to me 😂 bingo!

[@the_rest_is_confetti]

Pleeease keep Ali as your host. She's absolutely hilarious and quick and I love your back and forth together!!!! It's so natural.

[@amandadavis5687]

YES! Ali is great & she is so funny !

[@yamilia111]

I really love all her cohosts!❤ Ali is great, I agree❤

[@andieheim]

Wait, she has a good relationship with her family? AND had a healthy non-toxic, non-self-shaming coming out experience?! Coincidence?? I think not 🤔

[@sarah78119]

My Luna (Black cat 🖤) stretched at around 5:35 along with your angel baby and I thought I was hallucinating cause it was in my real world and the TV at the same time 😲 PS Rachel is why I'm here but I'm your fan too now 🙃

[@peachxtaehyung]

What do you mean?

[@megancurtis9502]

@@peachxtaehyung this took me a minute of confusion too but I think they basically mean having a supportive family often makes or breaks your coming out experience. Even if all your friends support you it can be hard if you parents don’t respond well and on the flip side if your family supports you that can help a lot even if your surrounding area is bigoted

[@kit-kat2120]

We’re going to need Rachel to come back and Allie! I was laughing the entire time! Can’t wait to see Ashley on Rachel uncensored🤣

[@LS-kx7ph]

Omg!! I remember watching Rachel way back in the day and being like "she's gay right?", and then being super confused when I found out she wasn't... well, sure enough 😂

[@JuMixBoox]

I feel like this is the first episode of this that I've watched that really honed in on one guest and their story. I guess Rachel really has a lot to tell. I really loved your shock at her recent coming out, it was a hilarious start! I am very much looking forward to her podcast with you.

[@ashgavs]

Every episode has a really different vibe. For one more like this jump on the spotify (it has way more episodes than here) and check out Taylor Strecker's. Not every guest feels comfortable telling a STORY, ya know? So we make it work!

[@Life_in_2d]

Yo this is high tier! Absolutely one of my favorite episodes. I’ve never heard of Racheal before and only saw your co host once before, so I’m not coming from a place of fandom. The two of you together are an absolute force. Loved it!!! You’re doing soooo well Ashley, I’m super proud of my fellow gay today!

[@ashgavs]

thank you!!! made my day

[@Skyler_Rain]

As a bisexual woman who is terrified of women because men are just "easier" to flirt with, and my last girlfriend's dad tried to beat me up in a parking lot, representation does matter and thank you for seeing me.

[@nurellysa]

I think this is my most fave WHGS episode! Petition to have Ali as a permanent co host!!!

[@EscapeReality94]

This is like Rachel uncensored to another level! 😅 love the Ballinger fam so so much!! ❤❤❤

[@RoguePanda93]

I would love an episode on sex drive for sure! I am a gay, I have known that I am gay since I was about 11 y/o. I am 29 now. But I have never once felt the need to have sex, and I still haven’t. That desire it’s just not there for me. I know that probably makes me asexual. But I do find people with high sex drives fascinating, since I don’t have that. I really think it’s a topic that we don’t talk about enough.

[@ashgavs]

We get into it on Casey Tanner's first episode from November 2021 I believe! Irene Tu is another great sex drive related guest, but we def do not have an expert in the room.

[@SpaceyD]

Agreed. I have a child who came out to me as demisexual and I would appreciate learning more about the Ace spectrum

[@DHU11]

Oh wow, I could’ve written this too. I do it cause the partners I have had have had the desire to do so, so I’ve always really just done it cause I know it pleases them, but myself, personally? I’ve literally never felt the desire/the need to sleep with someone. As attractive as I’ve found people, I’ve never truly looked at anyone and thought (for lack of better words, truly) “I would really love to f*^* you right now”. Never. I’m not repulsed by sex, I’m not fearful of sex, I have no sexual trauma, I’m not especially body conscious or shy, I’m accepting of my sexuality, sex doesn’t make me anxious… I’ve had my hormones checked and nothing was out of the ordinary, but the drive is just like… not there? Ive been reluctantly coming to terms with the fact I am likely somewhat ace, probably.

@@ashgavsyou’re my best friend I really like you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@oliviastockwood9157]

I grew up loving Rachel and her sister. I watched all of Rachel's videos, and as a kid, I took a lot from them. I don't know if she remembers this but probably almost 10 years ago she made a video where she was thirsting over Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Anniston and said she had massive "girl crushes" on them. She went on to say that it's totally cool to have girl crushes no matter what you identify as (with all due respect the closet was glass lmfao). Immediately after watching that I started saying I had girl crushes on various celebrities. That was the first time I allowed myself to think that way, and fast forward to now I've been out as queer for close to 5 years. She may not have understood that she was gay too but she definitely helped me lol. Def wasn't surprised when she came out, but it did make me remember that part of my childhood. super full circle, i'm so happy for her.

[@-chenlanying5818]

What was the video of her crushing on Lisa and Jennifer ?

[@ShockValue666]

I love Ashley and Ali doing a lesbian version of Oh Hello

[@arielpintar8146]

I would give all my earthly possessions to see them make a full special with them just being old chaps

[@CRM___]

I look forward to Rachel cracking jokes about her homeschooling experience. This was the most satisfying episode for me it felt like home

[@arielpintar8146]

I love Ali on the podcast, she's so quick and astute

[@carlitabonita]

Rachel handled this like a boss! So open, relaxed, and funny! You guys all meshed well! I've been watching Rachel for about 6 years, and the difference in her is like a 180°. I teared 😢 up a bit when she went into more detail of her ex relationship and knowing how alone and unseen she must have felt. I'm so happy she's in such a better place! 💓 xoxo P.S....I think you and the Co-host had such great chemistry, maybe show the guest most of the attention and look at them a little more (in the nicest way possible).

[@yamilia111]

😂Ashley has to change in the nicest way possible

[@jenn1985]

ali and ashley were so good on this ep, the dynamic you guys have made me smile 🥺⭐️

[@ceciliagarza738]

By far one of my favorite episodes so far! Rachel is so sweet and was so kind/ patient when Ali and Ashley were conversing together and doing their bits. Love the chemistry between all three :)

[@koneja13]

As a late age gay bloomer, having my first girlfriend at 32, I feel very related to Rachel’s story and love this podcast

[@annarobbiewilcox6347]

i absolutely love rachel. i’ve been watching her and colleen for like almost 10 years now and i’ve been WAITING for this IM SO EXCITED

[@taylernewman398]

I love it when my worlds collide. This was one of the funniest episodes, Ashley and Ali are hilarious together and unhinged. Reminded me of the Kate days. 🥰

I can't believe I have never come across Rachel Ballinger before, looking up more of her stuff right now!!!

Dude I’ve been watching this podcast for what a year and a half now and I’m literally crying…. Ali takes the cake man. She is beyond fucking hilarious you’ve gotta keep her around Ash

[@LisamarieNHtoTx]

I feel like I’ve been waiting a million years for thisssss yay. Rachellll I luv you.

[@bbend8667]

ali best co host!!! pls make her a regular, ill watch every ep she's too funny and knows whats up for podcasts

[@foranyoneasking]

19:40 missed opportunity to do a "macaroni in a pot, thats some WAP" reference, Ash set up so perfectly 😂 great episode!! 😍

[@nothinwatever]

Not me like “stop interrupting I need this information!!” When Ashley about to explain not being scared your first time

[@dancingheart6224]

Ashley, you underestimate how many people whose nights you make better! Not only with your stand up events, but this podcast! After work/college classes, I immediately put on your podcast and do yoga--because I too have painful joints before the age of 50--while listening. Your podcasts really help us chill out and remember how to laugh after stressful days 😊💖.

[@hoejacket6480]

I love the dog sleeping behind Rachel Ballinger the last half of the show!

[@SeanSultan]

Are we gonna get that Ashley and Ali go shopping video we were promised? I’m pretty excited for that, ngl.

[@crickcraic]

*rips the yoga mat in half and uses the halves as wings to fly away screaming like a pterodactyl*

im so excited to see yours and rachels friendship grow! you seem to naturally vibe instantly and my two gay worlds have become one

[@amyhand]

Holy shit Rachel's story is so much like mine, it's nice to year from another late in life lesbian.

[@rosasickles]

I’m here from rachel, i love her on uncensored so i knew i’d love this but this was my first introduction to you both and ali was such a good cohost i was crying laughing 😭

[@ashgavs]

Thank you! Stick around :)

[@melissacoviello2886]

This was awesome. I remember when Rachel talked about doing this podcast. It was great to see it. How fun. Can’t wait till you do her podcast and I’m here for you teaching her some comedy things, I think Rachel is hilarious.

[@LaEve]

Ali was ON FIRE this episode!

[@the-blue-scencel.8293]

That was the best episode I have seen! Ali is great!! KEEP HER AS YOUR COHOST

[@cajaha]

I remember watching a video that Colleen made many years ago after I started thinking I might have been gay and Rachel was in the video. When I first saw her I immediately thought she was gay, just because she reminded me very much of myself, and when she said she had a boyfriend I was so confused. Recently she showed up on my tiktok and I saw she had a girlfriend! My immediate shock and happiness was insane. Happy to know that she finally found herself and that she is happy with who she is

[@greenbeantm1096]

One thing that’s interesting with both Rachel and Ashley is that their toxic partners were using them for money. I feel like often times we only hear about shit relationships where the toxic person is the one in control of the money. But like fuckface literally had to ask for a separate bed

[@lindseyjustine4489]

I’m literally screeeaaaminggg 😂 right when you said something about Rachel working on her lawn an add popped up for a lawn mowing company 😂💀

[@procluts]

Ash-"You wanna do the sound board?" Ali- "Fucking yes, been dying to get my hands on this!" 😂😂 The little things!

[@jeanettepumpkinpie]

my three faves!!! loved seeing a friendship form between you and rachel, looking forward to more content of the two/three of you together

[@Lilworrierstar]

I thought the vibe was wierd in this ep at times, Ash and aly are on such the same level, I felt a bit uncomfertable seeing Rachel be so vulnerable then have some of their comments look to be dismissed to me.

[@virgilmcclendon5072]

Absolutely awesome 10+++! This is now my favorite episode. You just keep getting better and better. Best cast ever.

[@ashgavs]

thank you virgil :)

[@jasjas4356]

Rachel & Ashley having the same laugh at some points was so fun

[@joumanaaref1729]

I flipped when I found out that Rachel did the podcast 😂♥️

[@charmedoriginal5923]

I need a video of Ashley and Ali teaching Rachel the art of doing stand up and then her doing a stand up show at a open comedy mic night or say opening for Ms. Gavin. Make it happen please. Thanks.

[@Iluvallkittykat]

I love Rachel!! We all knew she was gay and that man wasn’t shit for her!! Her and her girlfriend are perfect!! They are both go with the flow and chill. Abby is the home maker and Rachel is the doer. I also met my first ever girlfriend and female date on a dating app and have been together 4 yrs, moved in, and doing phenomenal. It’s rare but beautiful and I love hearing how Rachel and Abby met. I never knew but it’s so cool it’s the same for me!

[@juliettevanderwalt1517]

I went on a great first date yesterday and this episode was really what I needed to get me out of my head and let everything happen naturally

[@AshleyJade18]

This was great!!! ... I've heard all of these stories before from Rachels vlogs and podcasts BUT hearing them again AND THEN seeing your reactions to them was priceless! 🤣

[@christina-clairegeorges3661]

Loved this episode Ali was a very gentle top! Hope to see her more !

An episode where everyone looks like Ashley in different universes

Dude Ali is so fucking good as a cohost

[@Babuhboobah]

Love this! I’ve IDed as bi since I was 13, but ten years later at 23 I think I’m figuring out that I’m a lesbian!! This makes me feel like I’m not such a late bloomer, I’ve been feeling like one lol 😅

[@rowdyraeadventures]

The dog putting his paw on Rachels arm 🥺

[@jomcpheeberlin1416]

Brilliant episode!Related to Rachel on so many levels. I got myself out of a toxic, sexless marriage thinking I was asexual but no also just gay. Imagine 45 at the time & with kids etc. My kids are cool but still taking time for parents. I Ended up quickly in a Covid situationship & that GF wouldn’t accept my no to continuing the relationship , needless to say, so many many laughs but mainly at myself! I finally out of that but it took 5 months to fully rip off the band aid. No serious dating women til 2023

[@diannaw3034]

This was by FARRRRRR ... my fave We're You Having Gay Sex episode yet!!!!!!!!!! I simply love Rachel.. and Ali Kolbert is beyonnnnnd funny!!! You three together had me losing my sh*t with laughter!!! 😂Thank you ladies for making my evening so much fun.. great job! Pleeeeeese do that follow up episode you were mentioning. WE the fans .. neeeeeeeeeeeeeed it! 🤩🥰😆

[@dawnlowe9524]

I am rolling around laughing right now

[@Neveko]

Yooo I related so hard to this episode. Being stuck in a codependent/toxic relationship is hard. Had one for *9* years (16-25). My "aha" moment was him lying to me for a year about an affair, even though I knew he was lying. Eventually he came clean and I said, "and why didn't you tell me?" And he said "I thought you wouldn't care." I was like "that's bullshit. You're bullshit. All of this is bullshit" I got another job and made enough money to move back home in three months after that. Came out as trans when I finally got away. Never looked back.

[@Neveko]

Oh yeah. I almost immediately started dating someone new. He loves me being trans and we're hella gay together. We're married and have a home we own with four cats 😆

[@kennedyeckels4492]

When I see in the thumbnail it’s not our main-main cohost maddy I’m like ah damn that’s a shame cos they’re so damn great but then I watch the episode and bre/Ali/whoever absolutely smashes it and I enjoy the hell out of all the cohosts💜

[@themorales6]

Ashley, I love that you said YES to the experience. And I’m so jealous that you had a real DATE DATE!! 😩 I need that in my life!

[@8bitfae]

Where were yall a few years ago T_T lol I could have used someone to tell me that I don't have to listen to someone telling me "No" when trying to break up with them. I kept telling myself that I needed to just reevaluate myself if this person didn't want to let go. Maybe they saw something I don't see that could lead to a long relationship. Until he decided that my life moving in a positive direction was too much for him and he we needed to break up. At least it was only a year and half of our lives wasted but... It could have ended within the first 3-6 months. Bah.

[@kaiaswrld]

I didn’t think I was into older women but then I realized I’m like really into both Ashley and Rachel and they are both more than 10 years older than me🤣
