SECRETS to Valkyrae and Alythuh's SUCCESS | Press ESC

[@Valkyrae]

Hi!!!!! Welcome to ep 2!!! We will move the chairs much closer next episode :) the feedback has been so incredible !! Glad you guys are enjoying the pod as much as we are

[@Instinctlv]

The Feedback being incredible is exactly what I hoped. Well deserved you and alythuh have such great synergy. Keep up the great work! ❤️

[@Kwillis-bp3ys]

Love the podcast!! Can’t wait for the Halloween episode!!🙂‍↕️🫶

[@cngotham4111]

Months of you talking about this I was wondering if this was still happening or not. Cool that it's finally here

[@massimosamdal1209]

I'll always love everything you do❤❤❤❤❤

[@ToadisBetter]

Love the podcast Rae and yall two make a great duo

[@Valkyrae]

IM FORCING MARCHE TO GET A MIC

[@panana127]

You’re doing great! Really enjoying the podcast so far

[@Bashbarian]

Do it!!

[@at_3126]

He doesnt like talking on mic when hes producing, he thinks its cringe lol. He said it on fear& once Loving the comfy vibes so far, great advice

[@Ny44h]

pls do, its simple if he talks and cant hear him well its sad and can be avoided with a simple mic. that doesnt mean he cant stay silent like usual 99% of the podcast

[@ogbribrimarie]

Yes! Please!

[@whoami.24601]

I just wanted to say I don't think you have to be so worried about staying on track! This is how conversations work naturally, we spin off of things, so it just feels like watching a natural conversation! And it doesn't really matter if you forget the question, bc as a listener I do as well, and the conversation just keeps flowing. Loving it so far, it's very cosy!

[@R3yR3y55]

I get Rae doesn’t want to go off track but just go with the flow that makes it fun and interesting. Staying so structured will make it kind of boring. Just enjoy it be in the moment have fun and chat

[@R3yR3y55]

@@arting6539 I see what you’re saying but I’m avoiding comparisons to other podcasts especially friends podcasts. I think both rae and Lisa are finding what works what fits. They’re taking feedback and thats great but of course have creative freedom and not dictate what they do. It’s a new and exciting thing for them both.

[@poupouiri]

yes, it comes off as much more natural and free flowing when the conversation just goes with whatever they want to talk about!! they can still follow up on topics afterwards but it makes it very rigid to just follow a structure

[@audreyarrz]

I agree, like you can start with a topic or have a topic lined up as the main discussion. But what I enjoy is when story's develop and conversations move in different directions. FOR EXAMPLE: Brittany Broski Report - her podcast It's hilarious and she's literally in a room by herself, talking towards random topics, but has one overall theme for the episode. Very entertaining and natural

[@sm_Llama]

Yeah it could be their thing!

[@jackie_stones]

Agreed. ❤

[@SisanoS.]

I think the most appropriate intro has to be "escape with us" or something like that. "Escape with Rae and Lisa", "escape with [guest name]". It's super cool and it will play into what you talked about in last episode about having something like lore attached to the pod.

[@didsdead]

“Press esc with us/[guest name]” too

[@starboyanthem]

i was literally just thinking this, YUUUPPP

[@nomorewhispering]

We don't care about the rambling and topic switching! We're here to listen to the natural conversation between you guys, it doesn't need to be super structured or stay on track. Anything y'all say will be entertaining so just be yourselves!

[@danniellebrown4258]

Agree 1000 percent!

[@boomdaus]

100% and the only exception is when a guest is talking and its not interesting 😩

[@itsLunaloo]

I'm honestly so happy to see this side of Lisa on the podcast 💗 As an artist I've been inspired by her for YEARS and its so cool & inspiring to hear her talk about her experiences in her journey as a girlboss QUEEN 👑 Also as someone who is hyperfeminine but also wants to be taken seriously in business, i really resonate with her. I'm soft but not weak!!!💪and that's OKAY I can't wait for more episodes!! ✨

[@itsLunaloo]

ALSO love Rae with my whole heart 💗 These two girlypops are everything ⭐

[@oojosheoo]

As a long time lurker and viewer of Rae, We are used to the chaos and excited to learn more about Lisa with this podcast. With that said, here is my only feedback (please don’t come at me 😅) Rae is a perfectionist and when she gets excited on a project, her ambition shows and starts planning out everything she wants to do and even says in the first ep that this podcast is going to last “forever” and even shares how she is worried Lisa is gonna slowly fade away. Rae is her biggest critic and she has something really great here with Lisa and the podcast. Structure is needed yes, but the tangents in my opinion is the most enjoyable. Go with the flow and your “intro”, “ending”,“communities name” etc will come organically. And just have fun. Can’t wait for the 3rd ep! ❤

[@Risng_Phoenix]

Rambling is the best part of the podcast. Just keep rambling until you finish talking, then think of a new question, get off track, ramble, and start again. If anything, staying on track to much makes it feel to stale. You two have a decent balance right now.

[@angerlovebot]

Lisa's voice is sooooo heckin soothing it's scratching my brain

[@darkblaze1594]

I actually like the "ranting" or side-tracking in the podcasts, because at the end of the day, it's a comfy space for talking and sharing ur feelings and not an interview, so it's okay if yall get diverted from the topic!

[@DavidPSmavid]

A little late to the party, but one of the things I absolutely love about Alythuh is just how earnestly she asks "Oh, what is that?" She shows genuine interest in the things that Rae is passionate about and it just drives the conversation forward.

[@joshuajarvis225]

Ladies, the "off track" nature of the pod is part of the appeal. The more raw the topic the more value I feel like I get out of it. Don't forget that you two have the freedom of zooming in or zooming out on any topic you like, but the BEST topics are for sure the ones you want to hear from each other. Maybe start a list of topics you either want to touch on or deep dive into relative to each other first? I like what I see so far and I appreciate that it's a podcast that is uniquely Rae and Lisa. I like the idea of having Marche get a mic to offer context and check google for things. Keep it up ladies! May God bless your endeavors.

[@kanasan8217]

I feel so mad that we as woman have to go through so many unnecessary obstacles to be successful, but it’s also very powerful to hear your guys experiences in pushing through them

[@HeyheyYouYesYou]

Mika outro is so cuteee. He follows you like a shadow a bright.. no a light shadow.

[@CalculusDaddy]

Hey, y'all don't have to keep apologizing for every time y'all yap! That's the point of a podcast! We love to hear it 👏👏👏

[@samanthaDH]

I literally GASPED when I started the vid looking at Lisa's outfit. GO ON GIRL GIVE US EVERYTHING!!!! I need that outfit TT_TT

[@dale-exe]

7:55 a relaxing game I would recommend is this nifty little game called "Pico Park" :>

[@danniellebrown4258]

Is it weird that I’m in my 50s and not a gamer…& completely OBSESSED with this podcast!???! Can’t wait till next episode! 😂💯

[@commandernavy]

That's totally fine! Nothing weird about it

[@beermebestie]

Loveddd the "advice to anyone starting out" section.. As someone who struggled with borderline personality disorder, I'm finally SLOWLY finding myself in my late 20's. It kinda made sad when i realized i had to learn to deprogram myself from being too male centered at this grown age lol. On top of that, i had zero hobbies... I just started finding love in gaming (thats how i found Rae)! Then, Rae introduced us to Lisa- And now, seeing Lisa's work has inspired me to get back into creating digital art! I'm so so so thankful for the both of you!

[@moths.for.valentine]

i hope you reach your dreams friend, from one BPDer to another

[@aaarbear]

These episodes can't come out quick enough, can listen to them for hours!!!!!!

[@RingoRise]

Fun episode, looking forward to more! If you would like some feedback I think you don't need to shy away from getting off track and rambling. Those are some of my favorite aspects of podcasts. You have infinite future episodes to talk so I think letting the conversation flow a bit more naturally is totally fine! 💕

[@Kwillis-bp3ys]

I’m freaking obsessed with this podcast already!! I love getting to see this side of Rae that we don’t normally see on the streams!!🥹❤🎉

[@radiantlyleo]

I just wanna say how much I love and appreciate this podcast. I’ve been listening to every single episode and it’s been so helpful and inspiring in a lot of ways. Recently I moved out of state away from my friends and family and while I am grateful for it and know that it’s just temporary, sometimes I feel unmotivated or like I’m missing my loved ones but when I listen to this podcasts it really feels like I’m just sitting down and talking with my girlies while also being inspired to keep pushing for my future and career. So thank you guys for this podcast! It really got me back into listening to podcasts after not listening to any for awhile!!

[@ogbribrimarie]

Rae! I am love love loving this podcast and the input from Lisa. Her having a business in an entirely different industry makes for great conversation. And I especially loved this outro! Walking off the set, so we get to see those amazing fits, with the lights turning off and the sign glowing is perfect 👌🏼🔥

[@moths.for.valentine]

it's both of their podcast, not just rae's

[@nihilrajan232]

"Want to escape from reality Press escape and join us for episode 283." Good into

[@arting6539]

i love how rae tries her best to understand people- even the haters. it's been something that i observed and try to follow in my life too.

[@samanthab353]

I'm really enjoying the podcast! Like others have mentioned, don’t stress too much about staying on track. I appreciate when a podcast has a natural flow and the hosts engage in lively conversation. It’s great when discussions jump from topic to topic organically. Maybe consider bringing a few ideas to fill any lulls, but if the conversation is rolling, there’s no need to circle back to earlier questions. I really enjoy podcasts that embrace a more chaotic, free-form style!

[@therockleee]

im 24 and really want to get into streaming(“: been watching rae since i was 17, so hearing more about how she got started really inspires me. also love lisa’s energy! she should totally give it a go (“:

[@eexy]

suuuch valuable advice going into the exact industries I want to be involved in, such an honor to listen to Rae and Lisa, both boss ass women I have admired for a long time.

[@mushlune]

i think a part of me will always "mourn" the loss of the community rae had on twitch before the move to youtube. i'll forever be so, so proud of her and so honored to be a part of watching her growth over the years. youtube is such a huge platform and offered so many amazing opportunities for her. i honestly just lurk in her youtube streams now, and i don't know if she'll see this - but A LOT of us from twitch are still supporting you! i don't enjoy youtube's live/chat features, so i don't join in. but we're still here!

[@phoenixrend56]

Probably my favorite podcast so far! Very instructive and enlightening. Thanks for honest inside look in streaming life

[@BigNGrizzly]

Why am I just now finding out Rae has a podcast…yay…definitely adding to my work podcast

[@xD4rkSl4y3r]

I have so many podcasts (The Yard, Fear &, Wine about it, Sweet and Sour, and now Press ESC) But im so glad I get to see Rae and Lisa yap nonstop

[@justinedale36]

I stopped voice chatting in random lobbies when two guys said they were going to R word me. It’s was CRAZY. Then I was told by the gaming community to get over it cause it happens.

[@yogi72247]

Great episode!! It was very enjoyable. Honestly, the tangents and going off track is my favorite part!! You both are so incredible, amazing women and are doing a fantastic job! Can't wait for the 3rd episode!

[@gwenaran]

I think marche as the off-screen on-mic producer part time question answerer is the perfect vibe

[@Jess-Ha0]

I love women talking about this, so open!! I'm so grateful to have Rae and Lisa to look up to now, my teenager self woul've felt so confident. Girls get it done! and while looking cute at the same time!

[@julietcortez3375]

No such thing as too old to be hot! Even when you become a mother. You do you Rae! Don’t listen to those negative people.

[@kaylaweatherly3787]

Literally have been binging your pod cast since i saw episodes 8-10 I'm obsessed with you guys

[@loki350]

I feel like the dialogue/energy was more balanced this time. Im really enjoying the vibes of this podcast, the rambling is entertaining

time to press my ESC 🥳🥳🥳

The perfect game for y'all, It Takes Two! Would be nice to see a playthrough between you guys!

[@MarkSpizzle]

Another grrrreat episode! We gotta play “drink everytime Rae says 10 years ago” 😂❤

[@missnattycat]

Just want to say I have been loving this podcast (currently binging what is out so far) I have been following Lisa for a while and have always admired her for her business and just baddie af girly girl aesthetic. I have known about Rae of course but I don't watch much of Twitch so never really saw her content. It's been so fun getting to know you both more! I am excited for what is to come :)

[@honeyjus]

let rae and lisa ramble!!!!!!! i love seeing how far we can stray from the topic it makes the podcast so much fun to listen to

[@moonrizeyt]

Thank you for this Episode! While listing to it i worked on my Overlays in OBS. It is my 3 time starting as Streamer and your words helping me being more hopeful :) Many things made me stop over and over again 11 years i started with KZbin and Twitch. But i could never let go of this feeling wanting to do it again. So today i made a decision. Thank you guys for being who you are and never gave up on what you believed in! :D much love from Germany

[@hendaddy13]

Loved this episode! The dynamic between you two is amazing!! Rae is literally so great at yapping, it brings me joy! I LOVEEEEE how eloquent Lisa is! I’ve been following both Rae and Lisa since before they were friends and to see how much they’ve grown and for them to be together and share their experiences are so great. I’m excited for more

[@alyrose215]

love the rambling, it makes it feel so organic! Can’t wait for the next episode

[@dedrasolis3018]

I’m so excited that you both started this podcast!!! I literally didn’t even know you both were friends LOL I need the anime episode! I want to hear about the best, worst, weirdest anime’s you’ve both have seen !

[@TheMooster88]

Just want to echo what others have said about not worrying about staying on track. You guys bounce off each other naturally and the podcast comes across as a conversation between two friends, which is what makes the podcast so enjoyable.

[@Nat-706]

Rae is stressing too much!! I l love the vibe and energy!! best podcast everrrr

[@BandOfTheHawk2]

On the subject of One Piece and someone who also skips fillers/special episodes, I recommend watching the One Piece "Fan Letter" special episode that just aired, very high quality and no spoilers (unless you are more than 600 episodes behind).

[@koibluh]

Hey Valkyrae, I'm not feeling great right now. As a disabled content creator, I've always tried to find my own voice, but I often end up feeling like I'm just following in others' footsteps. I had to step back from content creation when my laptop broke, and it’s been tough. I just wanted to say thank you to you and the community for helping me take my mind off things, even if it’s just for a little while. More than anything, I've always wanted to build something of my own and be happy, even if being in a wheelchair makes things a little harder.

[@notfoxvt]

Hey, I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling that way. It's tough when you're dealing with both the challenges of being a creator and the extra difficulties that come with being disabled. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I can relate to the feeling of wanting to carve out your own path. I've had to face some tough challenges too, and I understand how alienating it can feel.

[@BoonDoxGaming]

no but here's the thing, it's not just about you. This is a universal feeling among many creators, even those without disabilities. Feeling like you're following someone else's footsteps and craving to create something that's truly your own can be incredibly challenging. It's important to remember that you're not alone in this feeling.

[@mandygroening]

I REALLY enjoyed this episode. Also, the randomness and off trackness is fantastic haha

[@elizabethhaze6619]

Rae don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re doing great!

[@zvr1]

idk if it's just me but i'd say that when the people talking in a podcast always get into random tangents, that's what makes me think it's a great podcast.. it makes it a lot more interesting. the both of you are doing absolutely great!

[@shunnzz]

I love the chemistry of these two, Lisa, being the serious one and a formal talker and Rae, who's more chaotic and informal talker. I'm excited to see how they would interact when there's a guest

[@nanathekatz]

I just finished ep 1 and Rae I am so happy you introduced me to Lisa through it! Love you guys‘ energy together and as a Adhd gal myself, Rae, yes, you are too. I bet my firstborn on this! 😂 But it makes so much sense and it is fun, bc I gravitate naturally to creators that are neurodivergent. I just feel right at home! ❤❤❤

[@thasard]

Mauricio letting Rae know she was getting off track of ending the episode was the best followup to them talking about going off track. 🤣🤣🤣 Also, yes, mic up Mauricio!

[@averyrose484]

This was such a great episode! Last episode I did comment on my alt account that I wanted to hear advice for women who are aspiring artists and creators such as yourselves. I’m so glad you guys were able to touch on that this episode!! I honestly would love to hear more advice as a young woman who wants to content create and have a business!

[@DaiNaHail3]

This is so interesting to watch because it reminds me of my neurodivergent friend group. We are compromised of ADHD, ASD, AuDHD, etc. . . Is this how we sound I personally love it

[@aliciamendoza7476]

I think it'd be cute to use "press escape" every time you want to pull back and get "back on topic" it's kind of on brand at this point. Love the new podcast! ❤

[@n3llyyy283]

honestly i could listen to yall yap all day. 1hour isn’t enough 😂. i think saying something like “escape with us” is a good intro bc we really are escaping & diving into topics. idk lol. but great episode! can’t wait for more!

I want to hear more about sponsorships, worst sponsor to have worked with, best etc. Biggest sponsor offer that either of you rejected etc :D Does Lisa get sponsorship offers or how does it work in her world? Also for Rae specifically, Yerbaé sponsor, was it ever on the table? Side note, I love the ending of them walking of the set, really cute and refreshing

[@KoullaSh]

i honestly love the side tracking its more authentic makes me feel u want to share more the reactions u girls have are the best not bad at all..loving the episodes definitely need a woman talk episode as a female!!!!

[@angelicacarrera3458]

[@1LunchMan]

Some of the best podcasts go off script into various conversations all the time. It’s good to have a list of questions to fall back on to avoid having long silences, but you both have such natural conversational chemistry it feels like real conversation and not just a script which is great! Ramble, please! lol- consistently staying on a specific script would be good for more of a formally informational piece of content, but you’re both doing great already! Keep them coming! 😁

Hiii! Loving this podcast so far and can’t wait for more!!❤ Anyways I just wanted to give a friendly tip. It might sound weird, but I’ve watched other female podcasts before and they made a really good point to be aware of. And actually, this just goes for everyone who is always on camera for a living. HIDE. YOUR. FEET. Lol Either wear socks or close toed shoes. Do not show them on camera because there are creeps out there who can screenshot them and do whatever they want to it (sell them and what not). I believe there’s like a website with pics of celebritys’ feet or something like that. I remember Gina Darling always mentioning this: It’s precious merchandise that you can make money off of, so don’t let people see it for free!!😂 Valkyrae is wearing socks so she probably already knows whats up since she’s on camera alot. But yea it’s something to be aware of and I hate that we women have to do shit like this. Just cover your feet 😅

[@Yuiop-w9y]

Authenticity > structure You girls got it, don't worry! Also, it might seem ur going off topic and sure, u might, but a lot of them it feels like ur heading somewhere even more interesting.
