This is so flirty and I love it.
the way they described their types and it's just one another... y'all better shoot ur shot, the chemistry doesn't lie
That’s what I was thinking 😂 they literally described the other 🤨
Shannon said she wants to enjoy being single in her previous episodes though
@@rpmmoth712 and that’s cool! Not because they both like women means they have to date lol. It was just interesting. And the flirtatious talk was fun to watch.
Definitely do more episodes with her 🫶
I love that the demographic actually shows a bit older audience, it feels like we've grown together ❤
100% this!
“What’s your type?” *describes each other*
this friendship to lovers arc is going to hit
I know Shannon needs to be single but they have killer chemistry together. Js. Really funny episode and banter. Shannon is adorable.
I am 58. I wish there would have been something like this 40 years ago. Thank you for what you do.
me too same
Amen Amy! Also 58 and wish we had had this back in the day.
i have never ever heard someone say their dad is bisexual and has inspired them in their own journey. Like wow. You dad's truly a legend Kyra
You two have so much chemistry! & You seem similar to each other's type.... :)
I thought the same! 😂
I absolutely loved this flirty vibe lol like we love this “older” lgbtq podcast. I love it sm
I love Shannon’s whole vibe.. she’s lowkey, confident and emotionally intelligent (of course beautiful too) ❤️🔥
The current of electricity between the two of you is palpable. Stellar chemistry ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
I like your conversations with your guests. I also don't think you need to worry about how you talk (i.e., saying like, or totally) because you're still finding your rhythm with the podcast - so I hope you're not too hard on yourself. Besides - I think it makes it more casual and authentic. The format of your podcast (to me) makes me feel as a listener like I'm out for coffee with friends and I love it.
I have ADHD and I'm often told I need to speak more 'eloquently', and sometimes that's fair but also I think that it can feel hurtful and encourages masking. Perhaps that's not your experience, but I just wanted to say that as a fan of the podcast, I don't need you to be 'eloquent', I just appreciate you for your authenticity
Why did I feel the butterflies in my stomach watching these two
I'm 62 and I, too, wish there was something like this when I was growing up. You are fantastic! Keep it up!
Yooo this epi gave me such giggles, I love seeing this more open and goofy side of you Shannon!! + kyra’s vibe was infectious. The conversation flow did not disappoint. Ya doin marveloussss
You can say "totally " as many times as you need to. You are amazing and doing a wonderful job .
I love that Shannon had a whole format of questions prepared. She's doing so good!
If you saw yourself thru our eyes you'd be less critical of yourself, you're talented and impressive, a lovely personality and a gorgeous voice to listen to. Always I joy to see your content, it's been so many years I've been following you now, and your content has always been quality.
agreed
Been following since tumblr days, 26 now been out for 6 years and I will always thank you for giving me the courage to come out when I did. I dont know if I would have done it without the support of your videos. Thank you for being you Shannon! So cool to see you continuing to kill it!
Ya'll are freaking adorable together I really hope you went on a date after this ❤
You do you, Shannon. You’re doing great! Love you!😘
This was very fun! 🤣 and the chemistry was palpable! ⚡️😏
I haven’t finished this episode just the first few minutes and I just wanted to say you seem very kind and thoughtful. Keep doing what you’re doing. Love the podcast! Thanks for sharing.
i was going to watch this anyway but kept procrastinating (bc that’s just me) and then i saw how people kept saying they had so much chemistry…so i just had to watch immediately. THEY WERE RIGHT. i loved this one. it was all over the place but in a good way. it was so cute and so much fun and yes there was A LOT of chemistry ✨
It's been 10 years and we're still here. Just do your thing.
I am 62 and I love your show! As an earlier comment, I wish we had this type of knowledge so many years ago! Thanks for being a role model for all the young queer women😊
No complaints. This is exactly what I needed. Its so nice to have more representation and queer topics explored.
Shannon you’re doing an amazing job. I’m loving each episode more and more. My personal opinion is you don’t need to have any of your ex’s on. This is your story to tell and your guests stories to tell and that’s interesting enough. All of your guest’s have been very intriguing and you’re really good at getting the stories and keeping a great conversation flow with the questions you ask. No need to messy it up because it’s perfect just the way it is. This is your own thing and you’ve found your voice again and do it in a respectful way. Nothing you have said has been disrespectful so keep your head up and don’t let anyone dim your light ever again. Proud of you and you should be proud of yourself. Thank you for all that you have done for hundreds of thousands of us through the years. Can’t wait for the next one 🤍
Need part 2.. i keep rewatching this
This episode was really interesting, I loved the chemistry you two have, good job!!🫶🏻
OMG this is probably my favorite episode yet❤️
I think so far this episode has been my fav structure wise, like every conversation felt adequately explored and it all flowed well! Side note you look so good in gray
Couldn’t agree more
i love love seeing notifications from you. it’s amazing to have you back shan
Great conversation and love y’all’s dynamic 🥰
I'm in my early 40's & I LOVE your videos! I'm what you call "a Late in life Lesbian".(I was raised in a very small religious community) I LOVE your honesty & how down to earth you are on your topics. My problem is where to meet friends or a potential girlfriend if you live in a small town & everyone is straight.
You are doing a great job so far. It has been really entertaining and I find myself waiting for the next episode. I love that you have other queer people on, I love hearing other perspectives, and super happy you are doing this. I love an all queer podcast. Super interesting topics! I appreciate you doing this :)
Agreed. I was really excited when I realized it was Wednesday! The guests so far have been super interesting and Shannon is doing so well at hosting.
The amount of flirting 👀👀👀👀
i would love to hear some solo episodes mixed in with guests! :)
yes!!!
I absolutely love this episode! Shannon I love your personality and love that you’re yourself and not pretending to be someone else. Keeping on doing what you’re doing.
I love the solo content but I think we’ve learned so much about you, having real conversations with another person these past few podcasts!!
Okay but I love the energy you both share with each other ??? It's insane 😍
omg I thought I was a total freak for almost exclusively watching gay male porn as a bisexual woman. Lesbian porn is a close second, but straight porn just doesn't do it for me for some reason even though I enjoy having sex with men. I thought there was something wrong with me!! Thank you Shannon for saying that and not editing it out I feel sooo much better about it now!!!
Very normal actually which I don't necessarily understand totally but I used to watch it for а bit and I'm so gay love women, only want to be w women. I find men physically attractive but don't want to sleep ш them. But yeah idk if it was just the taboo of it or the fact that I'd never seen two men together but it was а turn on.. I felt weird and confused about it but yeah found out it wasn't uncommon!
Watching gay porn does seem to be a thing that women who love women enjoy. I am as gay as could be, but there was a long period when I almost exclusively watched gay porn. I think queer women look for authenticity and two men doing it seems more believable since their passion appears very genuine and oftentimes, quite palpable and intense. I believe so much of lesbian porn is made for the male gaze, directed by men, and feels too staged. Not to say that's always the case, but it feels true most of the time. Plus, my arousal was always increased for feeling sorta "wrong" for liking it. So yeah, I think women are much quicker to see performative porn and be turned off, hence why it's a common thing for us to watch guy on guy porn.
Lesbian here that also only likes gay male porn! I cannot believe how many of us are out there. I feel sooooo much less weird hahahah
@@Toni-cm2dvYou just described my experience with porn. I just can't watch people fake having sex, and it's common that it feels more natural with two men.
@@s.r.3738 Exactly! I always turn it off and am turned off when it looks and sounds staged and/or fake.
THE CHEMISTRY….favorite episode so far. flow is the best part of conversation & u also kept it on track perfect with the questions. i felt the sexual tension.
In Germany we have queer versions of the bachelor called 'Prince Charming' and 'Princess Charming'. Only issue they have there is that because the contestants spend more time in the villa with all the other queer men or women, they have to film the whole show faster than the Bachelor so that not too many couples form between the contestants. Despite that, there is always one couple forming between contestants and everyone is always rooting for them the most. So happy to live at a time, where there is representation in mainstream media
I hope you can find peace in not placing too much pressure on yourself. It always helps to remember that this podcast should provide as much enrichment for you as it does for us. Have an adventure with it, as I can't imagine the courage it must takes to host, grateful to be included as viewer :)
In the UK there's a gay love island called I kissed a boy (it was so good THE LOVE TRIANGLES WERE INSANE and so many interesting convos about coming out with religious families or having girlfriends in the past e.g. one guy was mormon and had his first kiss on the show). This year they're releasing I kissed a girl and I'm SO EXCITED!!!
AAAHHh I need to get a vpn in what this!!!
Such a giggly episode haha. Loved this one.
Thanks for another great podcast! Heads up, it freezes for a little bit at the 39 minute mark.
SHANNON, you’re doing great sweetie. i’m learning a shit ton from you & it’s so real how open you are already. that being said, don’t change what you are not comfortable sharing just for other people’s sake.
Keep doing what brings you joy Shannon! Don't listen too much to what other people say or want. You can't please everyone so you might as well please yourself. No puns intended 😂 I've been here since the 'beginning' (I basically realized I was gay because of you and Cammie 😂) and yes this is different but our lives are also different. I love these different stages and you don't have to keep making the same content just because people expect you to. You grew during these years and this is who you are now and that is 100% okay! Love to see you back on youtube ❤️
This is such a great advice! I wholeheartedly second this!
Shannon I love you. You have the right to say whatever you want, You have the right to say all you want, you stood in silence for years while songs were written about you
Lmao I loved the “do you know think I’m bald”😂 I laughed so hard
Shannon, Shannon, Shannon! I’m making my way slowly through your podcast eps. & when I tell ya, this ep was smoooth 😏 the energy you both bring is 💯 & it’s still great seeing a queer woman of colour. Don’t see women of colour enough
It cuts of at 39:25 until 40:00. It spooked me
✨ manifesting that they will collab again✨
You mentioned editing 1.5hrs of footage down to 1 hour for the podcast, but please don't feel the need to over-edit it! I can definitely see the youtube editing mindset in the way you're editing these videos, but don't worry about editing every pause or "um" "like" etc.! Even in your opening I noticed so many quick jump cuts within a single sentence, but this is a podcast! It doesn't need to be fast-paced or pithy, and we WANT to hear the conversations as they happen (with the exception of anything you don't want on the internet, of course). You could release the videos without any edits at all and most of us would be perfectly happy.
Love the podcast!!
I always had a "no virgins" kind of rule because I didn't want the pressure of being someone's first time and then them being like "jk. girls aren't for me" so I kind of get not wanting to be with someone who isn't super confident in their sexuality. I did however, realize about 2 months after having sex w/ my gf that I was her first *everything* and we're still together 5 years later, so I guess it worked out
Another awesome interview! I love how easily you vibe together 😊There is a bisexual bachelorette Australia from 2021 that was pretty great 😊 would be happy to have many more with Kyra being in it or hosting and you being in it or hosting too Shannon 🤗💙
Watching u and your following grow has been unreal! Best episode so far, and not to sound cliche but there’s something there whether u act on it or not 😍
Yasss diversity! We love to see queer POC
We have something like a queer/lesbian bachelor TV Show in Germany, it´s called "Princess Charming" and I can absolutly recommend it! It even got the German Television Price (category : Entertainment). So much representation and also deep talks and subjects - and many love stories, not only with the Princess... :D Hope that it will find it´s way to the US! Btw love this episode!
The sound quality etc doesn’t bother me at all. Something I absolutely love though is that this podcast is obviously aimed more towards grown women, which isn’t something that is easy to find imo. I’m 35 and really enjoying it. Thanks for the effort you put in ❤
Great as usual Shannon!!😊 Kyra I loved you on the Challenge❤ So interesting to hear about your dad, Kyra. My parents actually divorced when I was 3 because my dad realized, or at least felt able to be true to himself and his feelings. Not the same, I know, but I love the relationship you two have, and I think he seems pretty amazing! Oh yeah and as for you two, Y'all really do have some awesome flirty chemistry!!
Shannon this podcast is so good!! Having so much fun listening to it. I know many people have already said it in the comments, but you're doing a great job and some people were too harsh in their feedback, so don't listen to them. Looking forward to the next episode!
40:06 "I want whatever you want" lmao true ppl pleaser 😂😂
as a more femme lesbian that's a pisces, you guys make me feel so seen and related to and less alone its awesome!!!
First day back in the office after wfh for a couple weeks, was waiting for this!!
Loving the content
I love this ❤ !!! I’m really enjoying this podcast. Keep it going 🎉
Loveeeeee Kyra and Shannon 🎉🎉
pooor i hear like your voice is shaking, you are doing good!! love your podcast
It's ok to take your time into figuring things out, it's a learning process. Sometimes I think you've been saying this in your videos for a long time, but you still have trouble in applying it to yourself.
A thing I love about what you do is that you keep the quirks of working things out and dealing with stuff in the videos and don't keep them hidden.
I heard your voice crack up in the beginning a few times. Some hugs felt required. Don't worry about getting things perfectly.
Sometimes those imperfections hit a chord much more that a "perfect" version would.
You mirror a lot of shit in us about simply being human even before you even start debating a topic.
at 39:24 the video is frozen until 39:59!!!! Just to let you know. Very happy for your podcast (:
I love this episode sooo much!
Love the chemistry!
Also we do have a dating show just for the queers in Germany. Princess Charming and Prince Charming, would be great for the US, too.
This episode is just 66 minutes and 39 seconds of flirty banter. I love queer women 😂
I'm sorry but the chemistry is really off the charts the whole episode got me kicking my feet in the air and giggling like a school girl 😅
Shannon not knowing jubilee has shocked me lol. Shannon you could go on it girly pop!!!!
loved this :) Kyra is definitely my type lol
This episode is soo good!! I enjoyed watching you
Omg Shannon your amazing & just keep being you ❤️you & whatever you do👏👏👏💯❣️ and love this episode so good you both were so funny and can’t wait to follow KYRA and listen to her podcast💯❣️🫶🫶
this had me giggling and kicking my feet pls do more videos together until you inevitably fall in love
This was my fave so far!! I saw that avalon young won in her jubilee skateboard video ;) you should interview her next
I always support you!
It doesn't matter what you do or how you do it
Let go of the burden and do whatever you want comfortably.
All I want to see is you happy in the video.❤
Ow. The story about the basketball girl hit so hard. I used to date a basketball girl and I didn't even know that she broken with me until she literally left the country. I went to see her one day and her room was empty and her room-mates broke the news that she was gone. Ouch my poor young lesbian heart.
WHO CARES IF YOU SAY “TOTALLY” OR “LIKE”. It’s just how you speak, that’s not valid criticism.
I keep saying to every episode….. I love this one….and then the next….and the next….and the next! Keep doing what you feel cause it is definitely working! Faneffingtastic!
Love this episode ❤️
🙏manifesting that they will collab again🙏
are you aware of the german show "princess charming"? It's basically the lesbian bachelorette.
The girl from the first season ( irina) looks exactly like her
Germany is accepting like that?🥹 as someone with German heritage that makes my heart sing.
watch the german sapphic dating show Princess Charming, the first season was really good
I ABSOLUTELY want a lesbian bachelor show!!! I’ve never cared to watch a single episode before, but I wouldn’t miss an episode if it was all women! 😍
Yeees longer episodes!! :D
the roses next pls and thank you
love to see the Brockton Haunt rep
I find it interesting that both of today's Exes & 0s and Chosen Family podcast touched on the experience lesbians prefer male porn due to lesbian porn content being for the male gaze.
I can’t focus cuz Kyra is too gorgeous jeeeeewz
You should have Alayna joy on the podcast! I would love to see you guys talk:)
We need more actual lesbian reality TV shows please women make dreams come true women directing women PLEASE!!!
