Ace is Asexual, meaning that we don't experience sexual attraction to people places or things. Lets go ace hype!

[@HannahAlonzo]

Yes I was made aware of this!! Thank you! I know what asexual is but was not aware of the abbreviation. I also emailed the sender to apologize ❤️

[@LeftieLoosie]

Oop I didn't check the pinned comment before I commented this explanation when I heard it in the video.... so now my comment is just redundant. Lol

[@10feralratsinacoat76]

Happy to see someone else posted it when I was about to :)

[@rainepatterson]

Ace pride let's go!

[@yogadork_namaste]

I'm ace so I'm not sexually attracted but I still have romantic feelings towards, well I'm pans, but without the sexual part if that makes any sense. Like I'm married to a man who is very understanding although I wasn't ace when we got married. It happened later due to endometriosis, intercourse being painful, trauma and libido failing. Hugs and cuddles are great but I'm just not interested in having sex unless we are trying to conceive. I'm this weird mish mash of asexual, pansexual and gender neutral(nonbinary). Im like 3 letters of the lgbtqia+ It's so confusing. Other ace people I've talked to have been really nice to me about my attempts at expressing who I am and even said that my asexuality is still valid even when I try to conceive. I had previously wondered if I'm only considered ace when I'm celibate and not when I'm trying to do something special for my husband for his benefit but not mine, or trying to have one baby before getting a hysterectomy.

This is Zeke's channel, you're just visiting.

Ain’t that the truth….

[@heatherframpton9693]

Yes! 😂😁❤️ Thanks, Zeke kitty, for sharing your channel with your Mama Hannah. 🐱

Hannah: I'm sorry for the cat's noise, I'm trying to edit them out Hannah's audience: how dare you?..

[@Isirian]

I LOVE hearing cats in the background, Zeke's constant talking is so funny. And also Hannah's "frustration" is so relatable, I also have a cat that can be very needy and talkative :D

MOAR ZEKE

[@Teecie]

I keep thinking it’s a ghast

[@Tktikipunch]

Oh! For the “Baker” marketing in Amway, there’s 3 giant separate organizations. Must’ve been Worldwide Group. So the first major “Bakers,” sponsored both of their children. One siblings organization is a lot bigger. The other one.. Crickets.. “They’re ‘working’ on it.” Then there is another Bakers organization which I actually saw built from nothing to something huge in like 4 years tops, from where I’m at. Basically they take the last name of the highest/most “successful” upline and then use the last name and toss Development/LLC or whatever other fancy name you wanna toss in there.

[@mallorywishall142]

Thoughts and prayers for Zeke- he's clearly dealing with some stuff 😂

[@fatz97]

My thoughts exactly lol

[@LizzieBelina]

Zeke is so stressed over these stories. He's so worried about people and has so much to say.

[@facebooksux18]

Or he's absolutely fuming lol

[@kateemma22]

In this world, nothing is certain, except huns being shameless and Zeke being loud.

[@starlingswallow]

Lmao

[@andarwarje8127]

My eyebrows POPPED OFF MY FACE when I heard that shit about beach body competing with themselves

[@facebooksux18]

Been binging her videos and the whole beauty counter(?) in Ulta thing gives me the same vibes. Like everyone high up was cut a deal or something.

[@kathrynpedulla8952]

I LOVE hearing your cat. I'm sure it was very frustrating when you were recording, but Zeke made me feel right at home. :)

[@asarishepard8171]

The addition of a cat is always fun, makes her vibe natural :)

[@tktalk6900]

I love how chirpy he is ♡ i don't find it annoying at all it's adorable

[@nofearonlylove21]

DONT EVER APOLOGIZE FOR ZEKE BEING LOUD AND MEOWING AND ASKING FOR ATTENTION I LOVE HIM SO MUCH PLEASE TELL HIM THAT

[@yesiamsharon]

I felt so bad for the baby!! I honestly enjoyed every moment of it. It's more like hanging out at a friend's house listening to these great real life stories and the cat is hanging around keeping everyone company.

[@HannahAlonzo]

Aw that is a sweet way of thinking of it! 🥺

[@davekaio5934]

I know, from first hand experience, we are definitely NOT an Anti Men Loving Men community... 🤣🤣

[@HannahAlonzo]

Apologies again for how obnoxious Zeke is in this video 🤦🏼‍♀️ I promise I tried my best to edit him out but I already basically re-read these emails twice while filming due to him meowing over me and your girl can only take so much 🤪 Thanks for your understanding!

[@daisietrains9981]

please dont edit him out ❤❤❤❤

[@channel69gorlworldnews66]

Don’t edit him out! It’s precious 🥺🥺❤️

[@lmsmith015]

haha I kept hearing faint Zeke meows, but I thought it was my own cats and I was so confused and concerned because it wasn't their usual meow!! My cats are much more shrill. Zeke has such a sweet meow.

[@Lisa85]

I am a Zeke stan, i vote keep him in (which one is he?)

[@kristyrussell1748]

[@bfoxc]

No lie, for the first 13 minutes I swore I kept hearing my cat Sherlock say something (he’s mouthy, so that’s normal) but when I’d look at him he was just chillin, minding his own business. Mmkay… cool, so now I’m hearing things. Great! Thanks, Zeke.

[@Shamazya]

I feel the need to share the time stamp for Zeke's big interruption xD 24:55 - 25:26

[@sarahmcneil846]

I was invited to an MLM pitch as a first date. Absolutely a nightmare.

[@ultraboombean]

Send in the story LOL

[@emmakatemedina]

Never apologize for your cats! If I had a youtube channel I know my giant orange cat would always be in the frame trying to distract me, which he does every time I do my current job from home. This is my first posted video since I joined the channel, excited to be here, signed number one Zeke and Cooper fan.

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

Chirpy baby wanted to chat

[@loosilu]

I love orange cats! they are usually male for some reason!

Omg. I never considered the Mila Kunis resemblance and now I can't unsee it!!! Holy crap! Also, all the kitties all the time doesn't bother me

[@kianapearl]

Me too. Yes! It’s think it’s in her eyes.

I’ve just found your videos! Honestly Zeke is just showing his disgust at these mlm tactics.

[@anastasiam.6269]

@24:54 Zeke meowing up a ruckus lol IT IS SO CUTE 😺

[@yogsothoth8389]

24:55 don’t ever apologize for Zeke. He is a delight. The way Zeke sings reminds me of my cat Zeus and how he would sing like that in the middle of the night. I come for the anti-MLM content, and the cats are a bonus.

[@brandiewilliams5395]

Zeke really said "Amway is horrible!!" My parents were in Amway when they tried to rebrand to Quixar. So many stories...so culty

[@meghanworkman6449]

I definitely see the Mila Kunis resemblance. And at first I thought the little Zeke squeaks were one of my cats, and I was driving myself nuts trying to find where they were hiding lol. Don't ever feel the need to apologize for your sweet kitties!

[@Fa-kc3yv]

Until you mentioned your cats, I was listening to this video without watching because my laundry doesn’t fold itself. Anyways, I kept hearing your cat but I didn’t know it was your cat and thought it was my cat. I called him over and over thinking he’s crying in the hallway and couldn’t find him anywhere… then I remembered he is outside and thought I was going crazy lol. So glad you said something haha. Our cats sound the same.

[@cristinagrabovschi7680]

Zeke sounds exactly as one my cats too 🤪

[@EH-dw3wb]

Zeke’s commentary was super insightful and cute.

[@differentlynormal6957]

Ace is another way of saying Asexual 🏳️‍🌈.

[@HannahAlonzo]

Thank you!! Yes, I’ve been made aware of this now. I appreciate it! I responded to the person who sent me the email to apologize ❤️

[@blissfulmountain]

The story from the kiwi lady is really relatable to me. I found anti-MLM content after I searched what MLM meant in a queer context, so I was actually looking for the men loving men definition, but ended up finding the anti multilevel marketing content 😂

[@kathrynpedulla8952]

I have no idea how I got here, but you just earned yourself a new subscriber. Now it's binging time!

[@HannahAlonzo]

Wooo let’s go Kathryn!! So happy you’re here!

And Cooper too!

[@Mapache095]

Don’t ever apologize for the vocal chirps of the fluff ball!

[@vincentender1486]

My cat loves to start talking when I am going to sleep, sounding like she has lost me when I know she watched me lay down and get cozy.

[@CinnamonTroll8U]

Your cats are like the comedy relief sometimes lmao

[@ourtwinninglife9501]

NEVER apologize for your furbabies! We love them!

[@davekaio5934]

Also, I'm listening from another room, so I thought I was going crazy hearing meows... Ohhhh.. Hey Zeke💕💕

[@caseyescobar3457]

We have 3 cats, and one of them is almost alwayssss crying or meowing or "singing the songs of his people" at the absolute *worst* times (like at 4 AM on a Sunday or when one of us is on an important Zoom call or when he is just bored lol). I feel your pain/annoyance - but no need to apologize! Love your content AND your sweet kitties (even though I totally understand that frustration haha). Thanks for another great video! 🐱❤️🐱

[@robytoo]

LOL the kitty crying in-between the chats just made me laugh so much 🤣 hahaha

[@keyanicrow6149]

Please keep Zeke in your videos. My cat runs around like crazy every time he hears Zeke meow. It’s HILARIOUS 😂

[@cheepcheri]

My story was read! What a wonderful way to end the day. ❤

[@lisahance]

Don't edit Zeke out - he's adorable - I don't mind the meowing at all! 😺

[@jolo3118]

I wish we could upload photos to comments because my cat ( HoHo) is sitting right next to me and going nuts over hearing Zeke. She wants to jump through my phone and play and then keeps glaring at me like I'm not letting her. Lol. We both love your channel!!

Zeke’s wee chattering was so adorable in this video 🥰

[@zzmarissa]

This video was 33 minutes of my cat frantically searching my house for Zeke 😂

[@Marikindalikes]

SO glad you gave that disclaimer about your cat going crazy because I kept popping my head out my room until that point, wondering why every time I try to see why my cat is being insane he was actually peacefully asleep on his cat tower. Confused me profusely. 😅 Love the content btw! Recently found your channel and have had it on in the background almost constantly while I’m home alone.

[@timriehl1500]

My kitty died at Thanksgiving, but when he would act like Zeke, I'd gather him up in my arms and love bomb him so much that after 3 or 4 minutes he was desperate to get away from me.

As someone with PCOS and the exactly same symptoms, the weight struggle is real. It takes a lot of dietary adjustments and really to get into working out, as well as actuall medication (it's used to get your blood sugar in control). Just drinking protein shakes won't do a damn thing for you, and it's insane they'd claim it would.

[@angierae403]

CLEARLY! Clearly Zeke HATES Amway!

[@Sarakatbee]

Zeke sounds like my boy Mako every morning when I come downstairs, just yelling his head off by the front door like he’s missing the most amazing adventures (he’s an indoor cat and doesn’t even like outside, he was rescued from a feral cat colony)

[@aubreyb8575]

Just subscribed and have been binging your content! And I just have to say it makes me smile every time you're explaining something I just hear a little "mrrroow" from your cat in the background lmao it is the cutest thing ever 🥺♥️

[@HannahAlonzo]

Oh my goodness 🤣 yeah Zeke likes to make a vocal appearance in many of my videos!

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

16:02 Ace in this context likely means 'Asexual'. To explain further, Asexuality is a spectrum in which people experience little to no sexual attraction. Asexuality varies from person to person, but there are a few unifying flags people can rally around. There's the flag for the spectrum as a whole (purple, white, gray, black), then there's Demisexual (only sexually attracted after emotionally attached), Gray-Ace (very limited sexual attraction), Reciprosexual (only if sexual attraction is displayed toward them first), and so many others. People on the Asexual spectrum can have a variety of experiences around sex, whether it be sex-positive, neutral, or even sex-repulsed. With all that said, sexuality is not the only form of attraction out there. Asexual people can absolutely feel love (after all, no one in their right mind would say that you can't love your own mother without being sexually involved with her). There's an entirely different spectrum out there for romantic attraction. Some people fall on both the Ace spectrum and the Aro (Aromantic) spectrum, but not all. It's entirely possible to be Homoromantic Asexual or Aromantic Pansexual or literally any other combination you can think of. Beyond that, even people on both the Aro and Ace spectrums can be attracted to people in other ways. There's a lot to know about Asexuality and Aromanticism. If you have any questions about these invisible queer identities, let me know. I'm on both spectrums, so I can clear things up on both accounts.

Before I knew that Beachbody existed, I had heard about PiYo and was interested in it! I made a Facebook post about it and one of my friends who it turned out was a BB coach jumped on it and tried to sell it to me. I saw how expensive it was and “nope”-d right out, and thankfully she left me alone. But I feel like I dodged a bullet, I was a lot more naïve then and I could’ve become a hun.

Here in Australia, there are 'some' buy-in costs for legitimate employment - for instance, to be able to serve alcohol in a bar you need a RSA (responsible service of alcohol) certificate and most coffee shops/cafes (except franchises) require you to have some sort of barista training (hence the buy in is the training/certification). Here's the thing with these tho - you can use them anywhere in Australia and they aren't restricted to one 'company'.

I agree...formal hun stories are the best. I was roped into a SENEGENCE Lipsence party and then asked to invite/recruit 5 friends for a makeup tutorial. I actually got so angry when my upline used my grief over the recent loss of my uncle in 2019 to berate me when I called her out for crappy behavior. I used a lot of expletives and quit immediately before the tutorial. She tried to go around my former friend to get to me...HELL no. I was also convinced to toss all my non SENEGENCE makeup omg 😂 i also felt gross inviting people. Thank God hubby was already anti mlm and educated me before I got in too deep
