those phrases are so iconic!

The wine gimick is so funny because i don't think there has been an episode where they have actually enjoyed the wine. But then again i do the same thing when i gaslight myself into thinking i enjoy wine and then very slowly sip on a glass of it

I feel like wine is just bad in america, most people I know like wine here in portugal

[@synthiandrakon]

@@flarebear5346 Nah people say that shit but like if your'e a wine person you'll enjoy even the cheapest swill and if you ain't youre not gonna enjoy any of it, the parts of wine people find unapealing are all price ranges of wine

[@maccamachine]

@@flarebear5346 wrong you have a lot more life to experience

[@tonaerio]

I will literally buy a bottle of wine, start drinking it, go “eww that gross” and put it one side. It then sits there for a couple hours before I go “I gotta drink that” and then just down it 😂 To be fair the first time I did that when I went back to it, it was actually really nice. Which is how I found out you’re apparently meant to air it out.

[@noahstoner851]

The forced wine review is what sets this whole podcast apart from anything else. Never stop doing it

[@31olegna]

It's a good bit

[@NorroTaku]

I hate it I won't stop whining about it!

[@s0ydirtychai]

you guys not being in the same room has somehow made you a lot more attentive and alert to listening to each other and that dynamic makes the conversation flow really really well. i'm really excited you guys are back and doing well

[@taras82]

I actually agree! I feel like when they were both on the couch they'd lay back (especially Maya) and get sleepy and comfy and zone out a little lol. They both seem much more attentive so far

[@cemdemirkran6873]

I believe them having such a bad experience made them remember how good they feel talking to eachother and creating a podcast like old times.(I don't keep up with their drama or private life, my comment was dependent on what i heard listening to this episode)

[@tink6225]

i agree

[@itscfam]

I think the biggest thing is it not being live, so many times I remember one of them being in the middle of a thought or story and the other sees something in chat they can't ignore and comments on it

[@taras82]

I LOVED hearing the stories about the podcast "breakup" and Maya's boyfriend. I didn't know Maya and QT didn't talk for 2 months. Thank goodness that didn't last! Also it's wonderful to hear how well Maya's boyfriend treats her and that she's so in love. It's what she deserves.

[@christianflora2316]

As a guy, the fact that every guy told QT to not tell the girl about the cheating is insane lol. Just common human decency, really

[@maccamachine]

@@Leeches- you’re actually braindead

[@adolfonava1990]

I think the phrase "bros before hoes" that I've heard and said to my friends leads to this mindset of don't ruin something that has no "direct" involvement when it's pretty fucked up on the cheated end. Whenever there is cheating situations it messes with friendships simply by knowing it's happening and you chose inaction, action, or gossip to others. Edit: some typos because I was on the phone :)

[@Dell-ol6hb]

These are streamers after all, just by being in that demographic at all you're more likely to be a piece of shit dude tbh, though even among regular dudes that sort of thinking is not uncommon

[@SharksCare]

Yeah thats so fucked up.

[@KazeTalks]

This isn’t like it used to be… It’s actually better. I don’t know how, but seeing you guys closer to the screen makes it more intimate, in a good way. Your convos seem way more engaging for some reason. And it’s crazy that you’re able to keep the energy going whilst not being in the same room. I feel like this can blow up even more now. Congrats on a great comeback.

[@yaboyjay7202]

It's because there is no chat distracting them

[@spockola]

No chat, much easier to hear them (the old mic setup was atrocious), no fussing about whether coomers can see their feet, just interesting chat. I kind of feel like we're listening to typical phone call between Maya and QT and that is really good content, apparently. Huge upgrade.

[@mitzara25]

I never watched it before but became a qt fan and now Im excited for this pod haha Maya seems cool too

[@MrCroissantt]

This is high-grade copium. The podcast is great, but it's nonsense to say it's better than them interacting with each other in person

I actually find the Fear& episodes with QT to be the most entertaining. This is the first Wine about it episode I am listening to and that is because she was so entertaining on Fear& On the cheating stuff I would definitely tell the partner. I would want people to tell me

Maya's mini set looks awesome

[@Humstuck]

looks pretty much the same room. realy realy well done.

[@BlueHundred1]

I get Maya. She's seen the worst in people so now she is forever jaded. It sounds like it's almost like a defense mechanism

[@Meechy37]

She also works with animals. I bet it gets easy to become misanthropic. I know I've felt like that plenty of times before. Thankfully I still have enough people that I cherish so I haven't given up on humanity.

[@ghostbravo7127]

As a biologist (pharmaceutical molecular geneticist), it made me think of my early grad school days when I was naive enough to think that most people wanted to save lives and advance science for the sake of humanity. Now I run a biotech company and I have so many defense mechanisms in place not only with new people I meet but also some employees and almost all outside collaborations or acquisitions that I find great relief spending a weekend in the mountains with old friends from my school days because I know I can try to let my guard down even if it is only for a short while. I don't think I will ever be that hopeful passionate trusting young man again, and it breaks my heart, because I see that hope in students I mentor and I want to protect them, but I know that one day the world will stomp that light out.

It totally feels the same as far as I can tell. I've actually missed the two of you whining about it. Its kind of nice to see like two genuine friends who despite having issues love one another.

Love the mini-set! I almost forgot they were in separate rooms, the audio was so good too.

[@rebeccajeanne679]

It’s so comforting in a weird way to see qt talk about her debilitating anxiety as I am in a similar spot. She also gives me hope because she’s still able to do so many projects and has so many friends :)

[@nothennow]

as a guy on the cheating bit, my gut reaction is that if it’s my friend who’s being cheated on by their partner, i tell them right away. if my friend is cheating on their partner, i chew them out and give them a chance like qt and then reach out to their partner if they fail to follow through, even if she and i aren’t close at all and we are best friends, real friends hold each other accountable also happy to have you guys back :)

[@spencer6709]

Yep that's the right thing 👌

[@glumreaper8885]

Bro code is you support your bro with a tough break, doesn't matter about the gender of your bro. If your bro is cheating, you chew their ass hard and force them to do the hard thing. If your bro is being cheated on, you tell them right away and help them get free from the shitbag who cheated.

[@regular_ian]

hard agree, no part of bro code allows for cheating to be excused

[@xxkildarxx]

Think if it is not your drama it is better just to stay out of it. People have a tendency to want to insert themselves in areas they really have no part in and I have seen plenty of cases where it just ends up making the situation worse then it should have been. Sometimes just saying the obvious and taking a step back is the right thing to do.

[@nothennow]

@@xxkildarxx now imagine you’re being cheated on, all of your friends knew but they were just staying out of your business, you got any real friends there?

I'm so proud of you two. The amount of shit you've been through is insane, and to still be able to be functional in this society being so close to the worse of it is tremendous.

[@TomKwonDo]

On the telling the girl situation, I was once in the position QT was and had to tell the girl. I gave both the guy and the girl he was cheating with to tell the girl, but both danced around it. So I had to do it, I felt so bad for her 😢

[@kayladavidson2518]

this format will add so much flexibility to the pod and also prevent major burnout which is awesome!! i found the pod thru the TMG episode that QT was on, i’ll be honest i know nothing about the streamer culture or any of that side of things nor do i watch any other “streamer” podcasts but i genuinely love this little show as a standalone thing so i’m happy to see yall back at it again :’)

[@kayladavidson2518]

oh and on the whole cheating girl code thing, absolutely should not be gendered and it’s not even about telling the girl bc you would feel bad; i would tell a guy if he were being cheated on, i would even tell on my best friend if she confided in me and said she were cheating (if she refused to tell her partner herself after confrontation like in qt’s story). it’s just such a gross thing to do to another human being and it WILL affect their future relationships and how they view themselves as well, i wish a very awful life to all cheaters everywhere
