Ashley's physical therapist saying "some people just want to be in pain" is the same energy as my ex-therapist saying I was a narcissist for having suicidal thoughts. Like how do these people go through getting their degrees and still come out with such able-ist ideas

[@Raddiebaddie]

WILD

[@caitlynjones1482]

My ex-therapist said I was faking it because I wasn't talking during an appointment because I was having an active panic attack and we didn't turn the camera on for our virtual appointments

[@LilThreat88]

Oh. My god! I'm so sorry

[@ejewart1450]

When I was 14 the school counsellor basically said I was a lost cause and would probably either OD or **** myself before I reached 18. Now Im 22 and doing so much better

[@cassieluftspring]

Seriously. Nothing makes me RAGE more than people (especially women/queer folks/minorities, etc.) being mistreated/dismissed in healthcare situations. So many of us have stories like this and it's just WILD.

[@michellerbn]

Alayna taking down her professional boundary to say, “quietly” is one of the top 3 best moments of this podcast lol

[@sami-yc3xj]

"Are you familiar with the term Leisure, Alayna?" Classic Ashley...we love her

[@diannajim7440]

I love the visibility that you bring around the "Two Spirit" terminology. As an indigenous person myself, I love seeing that my favorite KZbinrs acknowledge this. Love the podcast, love the content, love the banter... Love you all :)

Ashley’s cpt talk getting interrupted by an advil plus ad was the best coincidence. I don’t know how these ads work but somebody’s doing a great job for sure

[@chloechartrand783]

I’m a second grade teacher (7-8 years old) in Québec, Canada, and here it’s actually mandatory for teacher to talk about sexuality. Last year and this year, talked and I will talk about gender affirmation, different relationships and parenting, different types of pregnancy, birth, consent, etc. My students are curious and are being go respectful of the subject. Love your podcast! 🫶

I believe that the silent crowd is actually feeling supportive of Ashley. It’s just that the haters are sooooo loud. I’d love to support Ashley more during this very hard time but I don’t know how (except being on her Patreon of course).

[@alexam3078]

I think it’s less of a “silent crowd” and more of the podcast watchers. Most of the people who went after her didn’t know her or only saw her comedy clips on tiktok. Meanwhile podcast listeners have a more humanization to her aspect and understand her reasonings for certain things

[@ashgavs]

I lost plenty of podcast listeners, trust me. It’s a weird place, the internet

[@SpaceyD]

​@@ashgavsSorry to hear that bro 😢. They don't know what they are missing. I love your podcasts and your comedy and I continue to share your art because it makes me laugh

[@zofiblanc7042]

think of it as a follower or more like community “cleansing” (i dont know a better word). so you lost some audience, but they were probably ones that would have left eventually over some other inconvenience. at least now you know the followers you have now, are here to stay and be there at the hard times as well :) . anyways do what u can and leave the rest to time. take care

[@rivwilson9330]

I wanna send all three of you hugs. But seriously you don't have to say anything you're not comfortable with or have the energy every week. We love that you're at the table and we love all three of you

[@sami-yc3xj]

Omg how sweet Alayna and Mak realizing ashley’s beauty despite she feeling down. I admire you ashley. I truly fucking feel it. I wish there was something more I could do to help. It’s like you said ashley, selective outrage. Ppl see a clip on TikTok and they think they know the whole story. Ppl who appreciate you and your comedy will always support you. I will anyway.

Whatever you had for dinner, you ate it... quietly.

[@abbytillotson470]

I think it's incredibly lesbian that we have the full range of dietary preferences on this pod: Mak (presumed omnivore), Ashley (vegetarian), and Alayna (vegan)

[@regina.gevorkyan]

fully support you, Ashley, in taking your time and figuring this stuff out. you’re a pure soul 🤍 take good-good care of yourself

[@kapowjam3462]

I have a brother who is mentally and physically disabled. He's always needed physio and the Dr he went to for years and years retired about a year ago. Since then my parents have tried a few new doctors and after like 3 months they just say "he's not getting better so I don't think you should come back". And my parents are just like "you don't get better from this, that doesn't mean he doesn't need physio." It's insane. So totally believe someone would say that to Ashley.

[@Ahearnhoula]

I don’t understand how people can listen to Ashley’s “angry” and think she’s being serious? Multiple times she is sweet, she is sensitive. I feel bad for the people who get upset about that, they must have such humorless lives to not recognize the humor here

[@bigcheese1618]

You are so strong Ashley in every sense of the word. We love you, genuinely.

[@ragreen2]

Sending the positive thoughts for Ashley's pain and the difficult situation that can't be discussed. I'm impressed at Ashley's advanced level of manifestation super-powers. Thanks for using this responsibly. 😁 ... Glad that Alayna has discovered the concept of "leisure"... Hoping Mak's move gets sorted out soon. Thanks for the podcast and I'm one of the many who appreciate you all.

[@enigmatic-hamster]

Ashley, please manifest a Chronic Pain Podcast. I didn’t know how much I needed to hear your chronic pain story until I did. I have been bed bound for 3 days because of my pain, wished for death multiple times during that time, but yeah, “I just want to be in pain”.

[@sami-yc3xj]

Ashley I agree the internet should be a place for happy exploration and animal rescue vids, and chosen family/WHGS… js ❤

[@ashe69]

these episodes make my wednesday morning so much easier!

[@MELLMAO]

The part about pride and ego getting in the way of medicine - it's heartbreaking and it happens to many of us with chronic pain and chronic illnesses when doctors and therapists aren't successful. And it usually postpones our recovery and medical attention, which worsens our physical health by delaying unnecessarily. Doctors did this to me a lot, and my condition has only gotten worse and only recently started believing me

[@r.j.chronicles7978]

Speaking of Disney Orlando being queer friendly. Last year I had a trans pin on my hat and a cast member noticed and asked my pronouns at that point I had never had that experience and it made my holiday. Also I love you guys and enjoy this every week no matter the topic

[@ktkrogstad]

I had no idea about the transphobic movement in schools until the other day. Thank you for talking about it! I was feeling so sad and angry and all the KZbin comments sections I came across were aggressively in support of the protests. I’m not trans myself (queer, gray-sexual), but it made me feel uneasy and the brief mention at the beginning of this video helped me more calm and safe again. I am severely disabled, so mostly housebound, so I try to live a quiet life at home and find happiness where I can (so lots of cat videos and naps for me! This means that I can easily get disconnected from the news, politics, etc. Randomly on Wednesday my roommate needed a ride to downtown (Calgary) to pick something up, and after I dropped him off and went to find parking, I passed by the anti-trans protest signs and a bunch of 2SLGBTQIA+ flags. I was so confused so looked it up once I parked. Apparently on one side of the street were the super right-wing religious extremists protesting against trans-friendly education in schools (1millionmarch4children) on one side of the street, and across the street were the counter protests with the pride flags showing their support for the trans kids. I saw footage of kids of religious families trampling on pride flags and signs that made me so angry. Luckily the counter protests far outnumbered the original protesters, but it was scary to see that kind of hateful rhetoric here in Canada. And more research revealed that the protests on Wednesday were happening in cities all over Canada. I’m just so grateful for the overwhelming trans support I have seen during all this. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

[@minionbruce]

I love you guys so much. These chaotic first-in-a-recording-session episodes are my absolute favorites. My cheeks hurt from laughing. 😂

[@Sandra-ct1rd]

I like Achley screeming for comedy, thats one of the reasons I am here.

[@delaneykeller1389]

About companies saying "herbs and spices" instead of listing out ingredients: my mom is allergic to mustard and its so frustrating trying to find things that dont have mustard. We have found if something says "herbs and spices" it probably has mustard in it. I understand companies not wanting to give away their secret recipes and all that, but come on, this is a safty issue. Loved the episode!

[@mariannetfinches]

That's so out of order. I think mustard must be a common allergen because here in the UK it's always listed on allergen lists. As is celery, which I didn't know was a common issue for people

[@delaneykeller1389]

​@@mariannetfinches here the only things really put on an allergy list are: peanuts and other tree nuts, milk, gluten, and soy. Sometimes whey. We've started making anything with any tomato sauce from scratch because any canned sauce made her react to mustard. And it only said "herbs and spices". We try to avoid anything with that phrasing. As well as "natural flavorings". Today we made chilli from scratch 😊

[@baileydahuman8321]

I love these too much

[@SillyTube9]

Mak, (presuming you’re moving to SoCal) just wait to get your passport when you get to L.A. Then go to the Beverly Hills Library, and they’ll walk you through the entire process. It takes like, a half hour of paperwork & a brief interview, and they mail everything out for you. You can even have the passport delivered back to the Library for pickup, which is smart anyway, to make sure it doesn’t get stolen from the mailbox at your apartment (which is a thing in many places here).

[@Nicole-IH]

Who needs questions?! Im are here for the craic! I love Wednesday mornings, breakfast in bed and chosen family as a fellow disabled lesbian, its my jam! Another awesome funny episode guys

[@kaiya2472]

As an Oregonian who has gone whale watching 😂 I was so confused at the shock and awe of everyone about you seeing a whale 😅 I forgot that it’s not something everyone sees in real life close up. It’s a fantastic thing to experience!! They’re amazing! I’m so glad Alayna got to see one. 🐋

[@themorales6]

I love the chaos. I never care if you guys answer a question. Thanks for the laughs, as always!😅

[@jclark1693]

Also, fun side note. One of the Florida laws was that DOCTORS AND EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE ALLOWED TO REFUSE LIFE SAVING CARE TO ANYONE THAT MIGHT BE TRANS. And yes, people have already literally died because of this,

[@Raddiebaddie]

OMGGG 😭😭😭😭

[@hi-yo1kq]

Mak, you and Mattea should definitely go on wipe out. That was my favorite show as a kid. I was obsessed to the point my parents got me the videogame. If you guys went on wipeout my life would be complete

[@beardlessdragon]

I probably don't know the full details of the situation, Ashley, but whatever you are going through, I personally still support your career and want to see you succeed. Coming to one of your shows in December, so excited for it!

[@theszmek]

Alaynas hike is my dream! In Western Australia we have such beautiful trails, so one day I will!

[@mentallyill.millenial]

Love you all, sending a lil extra love Ashley's way 🥰 You only need to speak about things you want to speak about. Number one, stay safe and take care of yourself!

[@urdelicatepov]

This is so irrelevant bc everyone else in the comments is actually adding to the conversation but I just wanted to mention Ashley’s freckles bc omfg they’re so cute she’s so gorgeous

[@dominiqueeden]

Around the 35minute mark: Alayna say “no” or “just kidding” one more time I might just believe you 😅

[@nicolamacpherson9605]

So there's this thing in the UK called the Duke of Edinburgh award that you have the option to do when you're like 15 or something and one of the components for the first two levels is a hike like Alayna's (two days for bronze, 3 days for silver) except in the Lake District, in the rain (usually). Now, I have chronic fatigue syndrome which was at the time undiagnosed, and this hiking chat really made me look back and remember what it was like to carry around all that shit on my back for 3 days. I am in absolute awe that my younger self was able to do that through pure internalised gaslighting alone of 'everyone else is able to do it so I should be able to too, I just gotta push through'. Like I'm actually so proud of myself for achieving that with 0 accommodations but also sad that I didn't realise that probably not everyone was hurting that much trying to do it.

Thank you Ashley, Alayna and Make for making me laugh so much!!!! 🤣 This truly made me forget about all the blah that's on my to do list.. and let me take a quick break from the stressers of life! Made my evening!!! This was so great .. thank you again!!!🥰

[@ThrashBandicoot11]

I'm so sorry that you had to go through this Ashley. There are so many people, in the world might I add, that support and love you. The world we live in is a beautiful place that is ruined by people that are selfish, in thinking that even minute things, like a bunch of people gathering at a comedy show, has some effect on them or makes them think they can feel a certain way. The way other people live their lives, for probably 99% of the time, has 0 effect on you. And even if it does, even if you think something that someone else does has an effect on you in any way, it shouldn't, what other people do with their lives, is 100% up to them. The selfishness of people who harm others, for seemingly no reason, or the most outlandish reason, "it says in the bible", yeah it also says in the bible thou shall not show/have envy, [especially if it turns destructive]- the 10th Commandment. That's just one example of something in the bible that actions like these, completely go against. "Love thy neighbor as thy self", another example. The list is basically endless. People need to care more about themselves, rather than caring about what other people do for THEMSELVES. Worry about what you're doing, not what someone else is doing. That goes for anything. Ridiculous things happen for the most obscure and unnecessary reasons. Think before you do, always. Does this really effect me in any way, odds are, it doesn't. *Edit* This was before I knew anything about the situation. Obviously my thought still stands, but in addition to that, people need to just not go to comedy shows if they even have an inkling of any sort offense to be taken. If you take offense to something at a comedy show, that’s your sign to see a therapist. Because you’re so delusional you don’t even know where you are. You don’t get offended at comedy shows, that’s basically the number one rule. Comedy(this type) is not for everyone, and that’s okay. No one is forcing you to enjoy or even experience it. Just for the love of whatever god you believe in, don’t ruin it for other people. We need solace in the world, and comedy is a huge proponent for bringing smiles and laughter in a time of need.

[@gracelarmee]

Ashley looks really pretty in this episode, her looks thick and shiny and the window light is making her glow - hot dad alert

[@emilypalma5763]

As a gay who lives in Orlando and works in Universal I can confirm, it is unsafe, but all of us still showed at the improv for Ashley’s show (:

[@randomripoff123]

a v chill episode apart from (or a part of?) the Big Sads that were happening. highly relatable re: pain flare up and being afraid of it continuing for the same length of time as last year. highly, highly relatable. i hope it ended up clearing up in any way! and i'm glad that the hike went well for alayna! and aldskjfalskdjflkj that sounds like a horrible situation w the apt and the hurricane. i'm glad mak is safe but fingers crossed something better gets worked out bc 😬 fuck that. lol anyway, also-- i figured there were plenty of reasons ashley et al. addressed things Once back when it happened, and then never since--partly bc of the time delay on these episodes, but also practical reasons. but bc i quite frankly did not care to get involved in the discourse and canceling, i just didn't follow it. why would i? so i had NO idea how bad it had gotten. that's horrific and terrifying, and MORE than enough reason to not want to talk abt it. fucking SAFETY is involved, not to mention mental and emotional health. i'm hoping that things have progressively calmed down, and honestly i'm gonna go ahead and say that at least a year's distance would make a lot of sense before like Properly Digging Into It at all. that shit's scary, and it's so fucking irritating how things get flattened away from nuance, and all of the double standards involved. sending y'all the best, and i'm fine w y'all not answering a question this ep. lol it happens, and your dynamic is fun!

[@louisecourtnadge922]

Me too?!

[@pudgealicious]

She yelled "kill yourself" to an audience member that interrupted a build up to a joke. And then doubled down on it. And then when she posted an apology it wasn't accepted by many, which is their right to choose. There is nothing to defend here tbh, Ashley made a really bad choice and is facing consequences, that's all. Everyone has survived thus far.

[@BayAreaBerk]

This is a really good synopsis of the situation. Truthfully, from my perspective- too uch was made of it and when people couldn't bring themselves to actually quote the offending remarks (How, how, HOW is it better to substitute Un-Live? for kill/die etc? How?) Ashley, you ain't as bad as some make you out to be. "Just get over it dude" :)

[@Zweigenhaft9]

People just really need to grow the fuck up, really

[@statistics_em]

​​@@pudgealiciousI missed this whole thing too, so thanks for the context. if that's all, it's kind of gross that she's acting like she's the victim. what's she talking about, it went right wing? or threats of violence at shows?

[@shae113]

As a fellow hEDS person, the amount of medical BS to get a diagnosis is insane. I started complaining of pain at 14, my mom finally took me to the doctor 2 years later. I was diagnosed with chronic tendinosis & given nothing to do other than "take an extra Aleve if you need it". I would complain throughout my 20s of various issues - dislocating my wrists & shoulder, back pain, hip pain, etc. Around 30 I made a friend who had a lot of similar issues. We started comparing and talking about what may be happening. His wife said my symptoms sounded like EDS. I'd never heard of it, so I started researching. The number of symptoms & co-morbidities I had was crazy to see. It still took me 5 doctors and 8 years to get an official diagnosis. I was not taken seriously by the first 3, including being told that it was pointless to diagnosis it because there's no treatment (was also told this about PCOS, because I'm not trying to get pregnant, so it didn't matter). My 3rd primary doctor & 2nd Rheumatologist finally took me seriously and did the research on their end to understand and effectively take me through the diagnosis process (which Covid extended by a couple years).

[@JuMixBoox]

Watching this with Mak actually having gotten her passport and Alayna gotten engaged in the same episode and smiling.

[@Name-ui9oc]

'some people want to be in pain' is the ultimate victim blaming and abelism. wow! so sorry you had to go through hearing that from a physical therapist wtf!!! also, much love and support in the 'cancel situation' I don't know how to phrase that well, but you know what i mean.

I don’t want to bring my 12 year child home in a body bag.

omg i used to LOVE wipeout, i'm not from an english speaking country and they used to broadcast it with a very bad dub voice-over like over the original voices in the background which added to the weird charm of it. it made the terrible jokes even worse and in a sense, better. i think i could only see it kind of late at night during the holidays, it was so much fun

I'm with you Ashley - Jane's Mixed Up Salt is FANTASTIC!

[@Grounded_Gravity]

For years I absorbed all kinds of toxic messages from new age manifester types about how I was probably responsible for my various mysterious health issues... Then I took a mycotoxin test on a hunch and my levels were off the fucking charts. The house I was living in just had mold. Sometimes it's not that deep and disability/illness is really out of your control. The victim blaming gets so ridiculous. Some people just want to exist in this simplistic delusion where we all have ultimate control over life. Reality is usually more complicated. And let's just game out an imaginary scenario where a patient's symptoms *did* have a clear emotional or psychological component (since I really don't think this was the case with Ashley). In that scenario, it would be harmful, not helpful, to tell a patient that their symptoms are their fault and call it a day. The symptoms would have a mental/emotional source rather than a physical one, which doesn't make the condition untreatable. If mental health was contributing, a professional should give offer mental health solutions - like brain retraining, a therapist, a psych eval, or another specialist. Hot take - victim blaming isn't therapeutic. 🤯
