Steph Tolev Speedruns Going Steady | WHGS Ep. 199 | Full Episode

"she could snap me over her leg" as if Ashley's spine isn't three sticks of dry spaghetti with an elastic band around them

[@thedarknessherself3454]

lmaooo I’ve never heard a truer sentence 😭😭

[@Floating-Stick]

Talk about funny.😂😂😂

[@Idkmanjustgowithit]

Oh my god i need her on the permanent guest host rotation. She's a hoot and a holler

[@Raddiebaddie]

I agree that the vibe of the shows has gotten better. I went to one of Ashley’s shows a couple years ago and she had the roast the daylights out of the room to get them comfortable and then this years tour was SO relaxed and everyone there was ready to crack up and following the punchlines more. My GF and I both remarked on the clear difference of vibe at the show and it was SO fun.

[@ashgavs]

Thank you for seeing this and saying this. It is so hard to describe to non comedians and people just don’t believe me. But I think now that it’s been 2 years of touring and such a bigger scale people are finally like “oh yeah, the audience does actually kind of matter”. Obviously I’m gonna work my ass off to be as funny as possible every time, but it helps when people go in wanting comedy and understanding what that actually looks like, before, so many came in with expectations closer to a queer event / safe space (just based on the feedback I got plus the vibe)

[@mariskaajoy3899]

​@@ashgavsso as a non comedian, please explain to me how telling someone to KILL themselves is funny? In front of a full audience, with about EIGHT times to correct yourself, only to make it worse with everything that came out of that beavermouth?

[@Fishful_Thinking4]

@@mariskaajoy3899I recommend watching the episode of The Chosen Family where she explains the situation in its entirety. It’s called “Finally Addressing What Happened.” I, too, was on the fence about how I felt towards Ashley before that episode and it completely changed the narrative. I think having the added (and very needed context) will allow you to offer a bit more grace. Everything about what went viral was taken completely out of context. Please do your research before attacking.

Eyyy no comments, this is such a huge responsibility, what do I do with all this power... i guess to keep the global tradition: FIRST

[@denitsadragieva1072]

This podcast always makes my day! As a proud Bulgarian bi woman it is also nice to see ethnical representation through Steph! Kylie is so funny she should co-host more often! Much love for all three of you :)

[@spicy_clam]

I LOVE STEPH!!! what a legend. I audibly squealed when I saw this weeks episode :)

[@rachshine7252]

Same!

[@bellahawthorn4575]

As a gay gen z, I love your absolutely unhinged style of comedy

[@kateohagan_]

I laughed so hard watching this week's episode! Steph is SO funny. 🤣🤣

[@spriddlez]

Classic cis bi woman and I almost never feel like I belong in IRL queer spaces because I hit none of the stereotypes. Ive accepted it but yeah that feeling I should be performing my queerness more loudly is definitely there.

[@mero8374]

you are not alone ❤

[@tamaraimhauser6651]

That was one of my favorite parts^^ so accurate

[@MaddieMadMoo1]

Love Mondays when I log off work, added bonus today a mulled cider, but this podcast is my go to Monday evening thing.

[@Mike-vn3mb]

Monday morning laugh therapy. 😂

[@virgilmcclendon5072]

Loved Kylie. Hope you have her back.

[@leowainman-sauda6249]

I listened to the audio while driving into work and was fully like “why does Maddie’s voice sound so different?!” My fault for skipping the intro 🤣

[@amberathey8564]

Steph!!! This is gonna be a banger.

[@elissajo3671]

I am freaking loving these comic episodes

[@kenziebelak1167]

There's a word to describe the joy you described at 41:20, Ashley! It's called "compersion". My understanding is it means experiencing joy from someone else's joy. It's probably one of my favorite feelings 💖

[@ArielPedraza09]

What an awesome episode ❤

[@sergbastian5]

I've read a lot of sex workers talking about how the most "masc dudes" want to be submissive in the bedroom. It's like they're tired of being in charge, so in the bedroom, they want to release control. It's more common than you would think. I assume this can be translated to lesbian sex too.

[@marysusansusan]

Fuck yes been following Steph for forever now so was pumped to see this

[@henryclare7529]

It makes me so happy to hear people being so in love. Steph is hilarious and I'm definitely going to look her up now!

I've been waiting for steph to talk about her new boyfriend

[@DiMon-jd4lf]

gay thought: I’m very fem and I always thought I’d me a bottom, but then when I was in my first situationship w a masc nb person I realized that I liked to call them princess and be more controlling

[@themorales6]

55 is = “about to die in 3 years”????? 😩😩🥺🥺

I’m a lazy baby gay. I’m interested but too lazy to do anything about it. Got that comphet patriarchy …. I agree Dating apps are too annoying.

[@luxurypetscz]

Also anybody knows about the Europe tour? I'm from Prague and I think I'm signed up for the text list (not sure if it worked tho with czech phone number) and Ashley's been teasing going to Europe but I cannot find when and where.. I really want to go see her but if the closest city to me will be like Berlin I'll need to take time off work etc. So if anyone has literally any info please respond lmao

[@JanneBernards]

There isn't any info yet.

[@sunnydays9144]

Same! For the Europe tour, I think there is a specific e-mail list on Ashley's website though. But I have not received any e-mails about European tour dates 😢

[@luxurypetscz]

@@JanneBernards well.. at least I'm not missing anything 🤣

[@mero8374]

oh good to know! and its nice to know there is an european queer gay comedy community ❤

[@luxurypetscz]

@mero8374 there definitely is... only thing missing is queer European comedians 🤣

I know my opinion mean ZERO, because I am a straight old man, BUT, I can't believe Kylie is single!! You girls need to improve your game!!

[@bigsmoke3640]

so we just gonna forget Ashley gavin telling a fan to unalive themself?

[@thedarknessherself3454]

IT WAS A LITERAL JOKE HAVE U HEARD OF COMEDY????

[@meristem7363]

​@@thedarknessherself3454 telling someone to unalive themself is a joke now?

[@LadleOfStew]

What do you even want to happen at this point? She's not just going to disappear.

[@ashgavs]

@@LadleOfStew they didnt know, it just was reposted by another gossip channel on facebook and went viral, so, to them, it happened yesterday. this will continue to happen, i'm sure, until i come back into favor and everyone talks about how crazy that all was.

[@ariavolta9567]

I am a fan of you Ashley. But I don't think this is a mature way to address it! You're gaslighting and ignoring the issue instead of self reflecting

[@FelipeAntonioOnline]

I want to start by saying I believe in your kindness and I don't believe you want to hurt people with any of your jokes. I'm also putting my queer side aside and speaking as a black man. The comments dismissing bi people are really dangerous. No one wants to hear that their struggles are not real. I particularly don't want them to start believing themselves that their suffering is a lie. A recorded history of oppression is not the whole truth. I see that you address the public to make sure they matter, but our friends are the ones that need to be challenged, by us. I might be overreacting from my limited point of view, but maybe I'm not. I just thought it was important to speak up and trusted that you would at least listen.

[@ashgavs]

You know I debated cutting that part because of this miscommunication. And I understand what you’re saying and where you’re coming from. We don’t believe that. We are talking about something very specific in the comedy space that is very hard to get into in a comment section, that has nothing to do with bi folks outside of it, not bisexuality as a whole or bi people as a whole. We didn’t get into the thing we were talking about because it didn’t feel relevant, but that didn’t help clarify what we meant at all. We know about bi erasure and the folks bi people struggle with. I certainly feel a lot of privilege as a monosexual person in so many ways. I hope this helps.

[@FelipeAntonioOnline]

@@ashgavs Thanks for answering. I wasn't sure if I should write this comment either. It's a comedy podcast after all. I worry that this feels like I'm policing you or the others, but I also worry that people will listen and not hear a joke. I'm older now, so I have to think of the children. "Be gay, be double gay, it's all okay."

[@ashgavs]

@FelipeAntonioOnline No I think it definitely was at risk for coming off the wrong way and I understand.

[@johnbush9790]

Damn i just saw that unalive vid, embarrassing

[@ashgavs]

Everyone here already knows and has for many many months. I’d recommend looking up chosen family episode 54.

[@scp-09698]

whose here after the story of the fan? sad stuff. she literally says the member "should have tried harder." That completely ruins her apology.

[@thedarknessherself3454]

bro everyone is here after that. it was a literal *joke.* that the girl was also laughing at.
